Samsung or LG? Seems like all the people with dying pixels are Samsungs from what I gather.

Re: MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in? in response to crispin williams
There seems to be a great deal of variation between individual panels, so blanket statements about LG vs. Samsung don't seem all that helpful.
My personal experience:
rMBP #1:
Bought a 2.7/16/768 in-store on the day the prices dropped. October production date, 8 MB cache on the CPU. It had a Samsung display, which had a somewhat darkish area near the middle of the screen. Whites seemed a bit yellow, especially with the brightness down. Color saturation was great.
I brought it back two days later. The tech couldn't see the dark area, but agreed to swap it for another unit.
rMBP #2:
This one had a November production date, 8 MB cache, and an LG display. No IR/ghosting, but the colors didn't seem quite as vibrant, and whites had a pinkish cast. If not for the pink, I think I would have stuck with this one and hoped for no IR troubles down the road. (I'm still a bit skeptical that the LG panels are categorically doomed to fail.) But I pressed on, and went back again three days later.
While waiting for my appointment, I put mine next to one of the demo units, which turned out to have a Samsung screen. The range of color on the LG was better -- the grass in the zebra photo had a more natural shade of green, whereas it had a "neon" look on the Samsung. Some colors seemed more saturated on the LG, which I did not expect. Brightness and whiteness seemed more similar than I expected as well.
This time I got a different tech, who was reluctant to swap, since he couldn't see anything noticeably wrong with the screen, and I had returned one already. After some polite and patient discussion of the 14-day return period, the need for an accurate display, etc., eventually he put it next to one of the demo units to compare. It was a different one than I had been looking at, but I think also a Samsung. Mine looked noticeably pink and dim in comparison, so he agreed to do the swap.
rMBP #3:
Somehow with upgrade price changes, I ended up with a 2.8/16/768. Production date unknown -- the serial number websites don't recognize it yet -- but since it's a 2.8, it must be an early 2013 model. It has a Samsung display. The black level doesn't seem as deep as the LG, and I still remember the first one as being more colorful, but otherwise it's just about perfect. This one's a keeper.
Moral of the story:
- While there may be trends and recurring themes, each individual display is different.
- No display is "perfect", and can't be expected to be. Apple is bound by the limits of physics and the realities of manufacturing like everyone else. That said, at these prices, it should be "awesome".
- The polite-but-firm approach is often successful. If you can get someone on your side, they are more likely to help you.
I hope this is helpful to someone. Good luck to all affected by this issue.

Re: MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in? in response to Warren O
Just how the heck are you guys judging the "pink" or "yellow" hue?
millerrh512 Feb 28, 2013 12:01 PM
Re: MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in? in response to BoloMK33
When you calibrate a monitor, you can switch back and forth between profiles. It's very easy to see a relative difference when you do this.
It's also easy to see if you compare it side-by-side to a known calibrated display.
For what it's worth, my first LG also had a pink hue to the whites. I could tell when I had my Cinema Display (calibrated) sitting right next to my rMBP display (calibrated, but also pink).

Re: MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in? in response to BoloMK33
My my, apple has really gotten into the woods here. I am surprised and shocked at both my experience and the experiences of others on this thread. I mean, apart from burgeoning tech and design that no other company has, the big apple asset is their customer service and their apparent robust QC. I have been a long time Mac user. I mean for years and years. But this experience gives me an idea of where the company is going, and I have returned my 4th Retina 15" and will soon order a Lenovo Thinkpad. NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE DOING THIS. I love OSX and the interface and everything about the system, but I imagine after paying upwards of 3000 for a computer that doesn't work as advertised, and then to have apple TELL ME that the problem is myself, not them. That I am a Liar, that a defective machine is within their specification. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE MACHINE for creative professionals, and an expensive machine that creative professionals could never use, ever. SO here is my story, please take this into consideration when buying a Retina, because it is not worth the hassle. It really isn't. I know there is nothing comparable to the pixel density and the screen and form factor are so easy to fall in love with, but this is a story of a company getting smug, and trying to cover themselves at the expense of their loyal consumer base. Apple needs to either issue a 'yep, we messed this one up big time' statement or risk distrust from 'fanboys' who have hung on their every word.
1rst RMBP: LG, colours were great, whites were paper white,contrast was perfect. ran cool. IR was already very protracted. Couldn't edit anything on it. Exchanged
2nd RMBP: LG, REALLY PINK, I mean like I felt like a powerpuff girl toting this thing around. No IR, but didn't matter because it was just weird. Took it in. Genius examined it ' looks pink to me' they said. THey didn't want to hear me if they said everything looked fine. Exchanged
3rd RMBP: LG, slightly pink on one side, fine on the other. IR issue only in checker test. But ran WAY hot. Like can't use it on my lap hot COME ON GUYS. I am not a picky person. but I do have working eyes. and i do notice things. like a crappy display. took it back. Within spec blah blah blah. Honestly that 'within spec' argument just makes my blood boil, really does The gall of a company to tell their consumers, prosumers, professionals, whatever, that a device not working like 95% of the other similar devices out their was 'okay' and 'accepted' is bull. That I should change the way that I use the computer, that your device shouldn't help me but rather I should help it? COME ON APPLE. What has happened with you guys? where's the accountability? where's the top-rate customer service? where are the products that blow everything else away because they actually work as expected?
4th Retina MBP: This is the one that really got my goat. Took the third in. Genius doesn't notice any tint. And running hot? he says 'they all run like that. the battery is on the bottom of the machine you know. It's a retina, it's really not meant to be used on your lap." Sorry apple, last time I checked YOUR box it said '15.4 laptop' not '15.4" desktop' or '15.4" toaster oven meant to be used on countertops only'. I mean really, this line needs to be pulled, like, yesterday. If they continue to pretend like this issue does not exist, with their most expensive and high end machine no less, I truly believe it will be the end of the apple era I knew, loved, and respected. Get this **** cleared up. The audacity of this company to release ANOTHER 13" retin when the 15" clearly had QC issues is just, beyond me. Really don't know how to quantify this experience. Been an apple user for a while, not for that long though. Oh and start offering accidental damage protection on Applecare like the rest of the laptop companies. I'm out, and I mourn the loss of a great company, and amazing consumer experiences. The IDEA that consumers should feel the need to play the lottery with your products to find a non-defective unit is LUDACRIS. Absolutely bonkers. Have I said enough. Jeeeeeez. I have my fourth and it is slightly pinky. So time to say goodybe.

Re: MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in? in response to Jajaba
I only found that all my devices had IR last week because I tested them with the checker board for ten minutes each, even my ipad mini has it and my wifes iPad 2.
You might want to check your iPads and iPhone for IR with the checker board.
There is plenty of information about IR on other iDevices, have a search sometime.
I never claimed it was wide spread but know its not normal and if they tell you that it is is not your imagination.
I like your posts on lots of these pages keep it up, maybe you can reach 1000 with more non relevant information.

Re: MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in? in response to mittense
I am having trouble understanding why apple warranty sent me back my 15 inch macbook pro retina with a letter saying that image retention is normal on ips display's and advice on how to avoid it. But then I see hundreds of posts on here that others have had the screen or hole laptop replaced several times... I open any type ofwindow for 5-10 minutes and with a grey background you can see so much of what was there previously that you can read the text..

Re: MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in? in response to mittense
Has anyone run any image retention tests on the 2013 Retina MacBook Pros? Is there any indication the retention problem has been addressed in this hardware revision?
DomdiDom Feb 28, 2013 6:49 PM
Re: MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in? in response to Boonslington
Why don't you ask them?
Start with, if its normal, then why isn't it normal with the Samsung panels? and if it's because Samsung is different in ANY way as far as the technology then tell them they should have disclosed that so that you could have CHOSEN the rmbp with the panel you want. That is, the one with IR or the one without. Regardless, their argument is idiotic and is proven by THEM because they provide you panels without IR with the Samsungs. A 7 year old could follow the logic.

Re: MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in? in response to Jajaba
There might not be that many people on this thread compared to the total number of buyers, but I think there are a ton of people with the IR problem, and a **** ton of people with the potential problem, and Apple knows it. If it was a minor problem, Apple would just go ahead and fix the machines no questions asked. Because they go to all the trouble of creating a "test", trying to dissuade people from believing their machine has a problem, refusing to fix the problem... says to me that they know there are many, many people who are going to have IR problems and it would be a huge financial hit to fix them all. Otherwise they would just fix it.
I wonder why, since you and all your friends have perfect machines, you keep coming on here with long posts and explanations. You aren't looking to buy another computer, yours is fine, you keep changing the topic to lots of other things. How does this help people with the IR problem who actually want to buy one, or get theirs fixed?
Jajaba Feb 28, 2013 10:23 PM
Re: MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in? in response to SitaCh
Actually I placed an order for 5 more 15" rMBP's this afternoon, 4 x 2.7Ghz, 16GB, 512GB and 1 with 768GB (all will be the 2012 version with 8MB Cache). So I think that should answer your questions as to why I am following this thread so closely. This is also why I have been carefully trying to sort out the facts from all the specualtions. This is a significant investment for my business and I needed to be confident that IR and other issues won't be a long term problem.
Joseph from Australia Mar 1, 2013 1:55 AM
Re: MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in? in response to SitaCh
@sitach and all the other people wondering the same thing why Jajba changes the topic.
I think Jajaba could have an ulterior motives for being part of this thread and changing the topic all the time.
Jajba do you work for Apple? Lol
Jajaba you must be in charge of a lot of photographers,to buy another 5 more machines and you should be too busy to waste anymore time on this thread.
@sitach, you must be right about more of a wide spread problem with this issue or there wouldn't be a test for it.
I only want to say that it's not your imagination if there is IR on your machine and don't give up trying to get it fixed.
@jajaba, please stop trying to shoot people down about their comments on the thread.
@bigbrother, I love Apple and wish the best for the company. I have been a supporter for over 30 years and continue to be :)

Re: MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in? in response to mittense
I just purchased a 15" early 2013 rMBP. Before doing so, I found this thread and was quite concerned about the LG screen. I went to the Apple store to see if they were aware of the issue, and they definately are. The sales person that I worked with even exchanged the laptop on the spot when the first one they brought me had an LG screen.
Unfortuntately, the second did as well and it was unlikely that they were going to exchange them out all day. So I have the LG screen. However, it looks great, and I've seen no evidence of image rention. I was told if you have an issue bring it back. I was encouraged to purchase Apple Care given that everything is integrated onto the motherboard and any repair is likely to be costly after year one.
I think the paranoia about issues like this only exacerbate the problem. I'm curious what the actual failure rate is for LG screens? Unless someone has an issue they typically don't post to a forum like this so I wanted to buck the trend a bit and relay a positive experience with the LG screen.
So far in my dealings with Apple any time I've had an issue they've taken care of it. I think if you go in knowledgable and calm, they do the right thing. That's been my experience anyway.

The present invention relates to a network interface device and a communication network incorporating the network interface device. The network interface device may receive incoming calls placed from a copper loop network, a cable network or wireless network, determine CallerID information of the call and the IP address of at least one end device and multicast the CallerID information to at least one end device such as a television, stereo or computer, for example.
1. A method for multicasting CallerID information comprising:
receiving an incoming call over a cable network;
extracting CallerID information from the incoming call;
identifying an IP address and an application port number corresponding to an end device; and
delivering the CallerID information to a plurality of end devices via a multicast from a network interface device, the multicast comprising CallerID information formatted by the network interface device as an audio signal for at least one audio device, the multicast comprising CallerID information formatted by the network interface device as a visual signal for at least one visual device,
wherein the step of extracting comprises monitoring CallerID information in Frequency shift Keying (FSK) signaling of a voice stream.
2. A method for multicasting CallerID information comprising:
receiving an incoming call over a cable network;
extracting CallerID information from the incoming call;
identifying an IP address and an application port number corresponding to an end device; and
delivering the CallerID information to a plurality of end devices via a multicast from a network interface device, the multicast comprising CallerID information formatted by the network interface device as an audio signal for at least one audio device, the multicast comprising CallerID information formatted by the network interface device as a visual signal for at least one visual device,
wherein the step of identifying comprises:
accessing a configuration file in a server; and
caching an IP address and Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
The present invention relates to caller identification and more particularly to a system and method for CallerID multicasting.
Caller identification is known in the art as a means of providing information on a telephone receiving an incoming call. The information provided may include caller's name or phone number. Although the party receiving the call may identify the caller before answering the phone using caller identification (CallerID) services, the caller may need to relocate to the vicinity of the telephone in order to examine the local display and identify the calling party. This may cause great frustration to telephone users because their close proximity to the telephone may be required in order to capitalize on CallerID services.
In order to alleviate this problem, CallerID information identifying an incoming call has been displayed on a television set. In this way, the called party would not have to interrupt his/her television viewing when the phone rang. If the called party was engrossed in a television program and the phone rang, the called party could remain in place in front of the television set and continue watching. A small display on the television screen would appear after the first ring of the phone indicating the caller's name and/or phone number. The called party could then decide if the call was worth answering or not. The advantage of this system is that the called party, if watching television, does not have to relocate from the television to the telephone to check the identity of the calling party and therefore does not have to interrupt viewing his/her favorite television show. If the incoming call is from an undesired party, the called party could continue watching television uninterrupted. Likewise, CallerID information may be transmitted to other designated appliances such that the called party may be apprised of the identity of the caller at various sites throughout the local region even if the called party is not in the immediate vicinity of the telephone.
However, such systems have been used for receiving PSTN calls received over standard telephone switching networks and have been unable to effectively manage calls received over other networks such as wireless or cable networks or calls received via hybrid fiber coax, for example.
Therefore, a need exists in the art for an intelligent network interface device for callerID multicasting of calls received through cable or wireless networks in addition to PSTN calls.
A further need exists in the art to provide a caller identification method and system for multicasting caller identification information received from calls over cable, wireless or PSTN networks such that a called party could receive caller identification information from any of such calls over a wide range of locations or end devices while performing a wide range of activities.
The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by providing a system and method for managing calls received over a variety of networks including PSTN, wireless and cable networks that may utilize multi-signaling protocols. CallerID data and end device IP address and associated Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) are identified from the incoming call. CallerID information may then be multicast to any number of end devices.
The present invention provides systems and methods in which call identification data is received at a local site and multicast to a range of appliances or end devices. The call may be received from a variety of sources including cable, wireless and PSTN, for example.
An incoming call may also be received through a Voice Over IP (VoIP) device 108 such as a computer or VoIP-enabled telephone and received from the VoIP device 108 through the IP network 103.
The incoming call received at the IP network 103 is sent to a cable modem termination system/end router (CMTS/ER) 104. The CMTS/ER 104 connects through a hybrid fiber coax (HFC) 105 to a Network Interface Device (NID) 106. A Domain Name Server (DNS) 115 stores IP addresses and line numbers of devices and/or NIDs. Incoming call devices may query the DNS 115 to determine data of desired NIDs 106. Thus, the NID 106 has the capability of receiving incoming calls through a cable or IP network and has the capability of processing an incoming call for CallerID information and multicasting the information to various appliances or end devices including, but not limited to, TVs 111 through a set-top box 110, a computer 112, a telephone 114 having a caller ID display as well as a separate caller ID box 113, as well as other appliances (not shown) that have caller ID display capability. The CallerID information may further be presented in audio format and multicast to devices having audio output capabilities including but not limited to stereos or radios.
In addition to receiving incoming calls through the IP network 103, CMTS/ER 104 and HFC 105, the NID 106 may also receive incoming calls directly from the Public Switching Telephone Network (PSTN) 109 or from a wireless device 107 such as a cellular telephone, for example.
The IPDT 102 may establish a loop with the switch 101. For example, the IPDT 102 may send a loop open hybrid signaling message and a connect message (e.g., CONNECT (DS0, CRV)) to the switch and the switch would return a ringing message to the IPDT 102 (step 206). The IPDT 102 receives the ringing message (e.g., ABCD(ringing)) and sends an RTP stream ringing message to the NID 106. The NID 106 responds by providing power ringing on the line associated with the called number (step 207).
The switch may send CallerID information to the telephone or external device or on TV via the external device via Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) signaling (step 208). In this way, the NID may "sniff" the CallerID information as it passes from the switch to a user destination device (DCT).
When the call is answered, the NID returns an off-hook signal to the IPDT and the call is established (step 209).
The illustrative embodiment demonstrates call flow at the NID. Call flow involves extracting CallerID information, obtaining destination IP address information, delivering CallerID information to an end device such as a Digital Carrier Termination set-top box, for example, and displaying CallerID information at an end device or a receiving site such as a television set, a computer or other appliance, machine, device, or multiple devices.
CallerID information extraction may be accomplished by the NID. After applying power ringing on the appropriate line with the called number, the NID may monitor CallerID in Frequency Shift Keying signaling of the voice stream and the CallerID information may be extracted when the NID "sniffs" the CallerID as it passes from the switch to the customer phone.
The NID may also obtain the destination IP address. The NID may access a configuration file and may obtain the IP address or an associated CallerID application port number of the end device such as a set-top box from the configuration file. After obtaining the IP address of the end device, the NID caches the IP address associated with the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). Parameters in the NID) configuration file enable storage of the end device IP address and the end device FQDN. A Service Activation System (SAS) with an order entry screen and provisioning system interface may support a dynamic configuration file for the NID containing the end device FQDN.
The NID, after obtaining the end device IP address, sends the IP address to the CMTS/ER. The CMTS/ER provides the address for delivery of the IP data packet in a single data packet to the end device (e.g., the set-top box). The data packet is transmitted through UDP/IP to the end device and each packet will contain a Source ID destination ID string identifying the receiving application to the end device. Each packet may further contain application-specific data. For example, the data packet may contain any of packet type data, number of the calling party, the caller's name, number being called, maximum number of seconds the CallerID should be displayed (timeout), etc.
The data packet is sent via the NID to the end device (e.g., the set-top box) and CallerID application inside the end device may analyze the data packet. The end device may compare the number being called with phone numbers at the location and may trigger an on-screen display unit of the box to display the CallerID information. The NID is also capable of multicasting the CallerID information to any suitably equipped device in the vicinity, such as but not limited to TVs, computers, or any other machine, appliance, or device having display capability. Further, the NID is also capable of multicasting the CallerID information in audio format to any suitably equipped device in the vicinity with audio output capabilities such as but not limited to stereo receivers or radios.
The NID 106 may communicate with the CMTS 104. For example, the IP address of the end device may be sent through the cable port 301 of the NID 106 to the CMTS 104. The CMTS 104 may deliver the data packet in a single data packet through, for example, User Datagram Protocol/Internet Protocol (UDP/IP) to the end device via the NID 106.
Thus, an exemplary system and network interface device (NID) 106 is described for receiving an incoming call via a variety of networks such as a cable IP network via hybrid fiber/coax (HFC), determining CallerID information from the incoming call, and multicasting the CallerID information to a plurality of end devices. The NID 106 detects and extracts CallerID information, formats the CallerID data packet for delivery to at least one end device and determines an IP address and associated CallerID application port number of the at least one end device. Delivery of the CallerID information may be accomplished via a CMTS 104.
Although illustrative embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, a wide range of modification, change and substitution is intended in the foregoing disclosure and in some instances some features of the present invention may be employed without a corresponding use of the other features. It should be noted that the invention can be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated and described without departing from its spirit or scope.

I too was wondering why you were backing in. Either way in your set up I would attach my bow line to the first outward cleat on the dock and buy one of those aeirel like whips with a curve on the end and place it where your port spring line cleat on the dock is (middle one).
When leaving the slip walk the port bow line back and place on the end of the ariel whip as it hand over the water into the slip, and it so it is ready to grab when you come into the slip. it should already be the correct length so you wont hit your stern or rudder when you cleat it on the boat.
When backing in I would then grab both of the lines at the same time, Drop the spring over the midship cleat and then walk forward with the the other line and drop it over the bow cleat. Use different colored lines so you can easily figure the difference between the two.

DepEd gets P2B to build classrooms
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) donated P2 billion to the Department of Education (DepEd) to construct up to 2,000 classrooms in public schools by the end of 2014.
Under an agreement signed on Friday, the state gaming corporation reserved the prerogative to chose the beneficiaries and the areas where these classrooms would be built from a list provided by the DepEd.
Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson, who signed the memorandum of agreement together with Pagcor chief Cristino Naguiat Jr. and Education Secretary Armin Luistro, said he might ask for an exemption from the election ban on disbursing public funds at the regional level "to fast-track the construction of some classrooms in time for the opening of classes in June."
Luistro said "the support of our partners from the government and the private sector will bring us closer to our goal of achieving a zero backlog in classrooms under the term of President Aquino."
The Department of Public Works and Highways will undertake the actual construction based on the DepEd's architectural plans for the classroom structures. This will be "subject to Pagcor's final approval," a statement from the gaming corporation also said.
Pagcor's donations are part of what they tag "Matuwid na Daan sa Silid Aralan" project, which supports the Aquino administration's program to fill the shortage of classrooms.
Each year, however, the classroom shortage goes up due to the annual increase in enrollment, a statement from
"By December 2013, we hope to finish the construction of the 66,800, which are part of the backlog identified in 2010," he said.
Luistro reported that more than 32,000 classrooms have been built as of December 2012.
Luistro said the classrooms that will be constructed using Pagcor's P2-billion donation will cover the backlog that was not included in 2010.

A Hot Tub as a Fountain of Youth?
Water treatment of all kinds helps you live better, but it may even help you live longer. Here's some information on aging and hot tub use that may surprise you.
Improved Cardiovascular Function For a Strong Heart
Water exerts pressure on the body, and a short soak causes the heart to work harder. As blood flow increases, cardiovascular conditioning takes place, even with little or no movement.
Improved Sleep for a Younger Appearance
A great night's sleep can leave you feeling and looking better. Soak in the tub about an hour and a half before retiring and the brain, muscles and mind emerge relaxed and ready for sleep.
Banish Stress Lines
High stress can result in premature aging. Give the body and mind the opportunity to rejuvenate with a quick dip in warm, massaging water and look years younger.

A Hot Tub to Fix What Ails You
With powerful massaging jets, warm soothing water and an environment created specifically for relaxation, a dip in the family hot tub can "fix" what ails you. If you haven't explored the possibilities, here's what a hot tub has to offer.
Bring the Spa Experience Home
An at home hot tub brings the spa experience to your backyard. Heat zaps aches and pains on contact, while clusters of high-powered jets work magic on tired, sore muscles and joints.
Get the Sleep You Deserve
A quick dip in the hot tub before bed promotes a deep, restful sleep. Sitting in warm water raises body temperature, and when you get out, your temperature takes a sharp decline, signaling the brain that it's time to sleep.
Eliminate Nagging Stress
No one is immune to stress, but controlling it can make life a whole lot more enjoyable. Sit back, relax and let the hot tub jets work out the kinks, relieve knots and loosen tight muscles.

There are no designated campgrounds in the area where the fire began, U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman L'Tanga Watson said.
The mountains rise thousands of feet above dense subdivisions crammed up against the scenic foothills. Large, expensive homes stand atop brush-choked canyons that offer sweeping views of the suburbs east of Los Angeles.
Whipped by Santa Ana winds, the fire quickly spread into neighborhoods where residents were awakened before dawn and ordered to leave.
Jennifer Riedel in Azusa was getting her children, ages 5 and 7, ready to evacuate.
"They're a little nervous, but I'm keeping calm for them," she said. "I've been loading the car up with important papers and getting the kids dressed. We'll just take some essentials and get going if we have to."
However, other homeowners choses to stay, despite firefighters' orders to get out. Some wore masks against the ash and smoke as they wet down their properties with garden hoses.
The last catastrophic fire in the San Gabriel Mountains broke out in 2009 and burned for months, blackening 250 square miles, killing two firefighters and destroying more than 200 structures, including 89 homes.
The flames could have abundant fuel to consume. Vegetation above Glendora had not burned since a 1968 fire that was followed by disastrous flooding in 1969.
Many homes are nestled in rugged canyons and ridges that made access difficult.
Glendora police went door to door ordering residents of the upscale city of 50,000 to leave. Citrus College and several other schools canceled classes.
More than 700 firefighters were on the scene, along with 70 engines and a fleet of helicopters and air tankers dropping water and retardant.
The smoke was visible from space in satellite photos. The South Coast Air Quality Management District issued a smoke advisory and urged residents to avoid unnecessary outdoor activities in directly affected areas.
About 70 miles to the northwest, another fire burned one acre of tinder-dry chaparral near Pyramid Lake before it was contained. Authorities say the blaze began in a mobile home. No injuries were reported.
California is in a historically dry period, and winter has offered no relief.
Large parts of Southern California have been buffeted all week by the region's notorious Santa Ana winds, which have contributed to some of the region's worst wildfires.

Usher Lemme See featuring Rick Ross Debuts on Off-Broadway
ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Usher's Lemme See, his new single off Looking for Myself, is drawing fans and critics praise today. In Lemme See aka Let Me See, Usher with the help of Rick Ross heats up powerful soaring vocals and strong lyrics. A recent performance of the song on Off-Broadway, as well, drew strong praise from New York theatre news critics.
In Lemme See, Usher teams up with Jim Jonsin for production. The song paired Usher's writing skills with Eric Bellinger, and Lundon "Da Bridge" Knighten. This week, Power 105.1's Breakfast Club debuted the single. Following his recent success with Climax, Usher teams up with Rick Ross.
But in one notable lyric, Ross references the Trayvon Martin controversy. "Chanel hoodie on, looking like Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman don't want it" Ross states.
Usher also sings on the track "You've been saying all night long that you couldn't wait to get me all alone. What you gon' do .. Don't talk about it, be about it. Let me see."
Rolling Stone reports that a recent performance of Off-Broadway's "Fuerza Bruta" featured Lemme See. During that single's performance, Usher boasted "acrobats raced along a silver curtain 30 feet above the ground", Rolling Stone tells news.
Usher has previously told news that this album is about taking risks. Of Climax, Usher said to news that "If you take no risk, you stand to gain nothing in life. Dare to be different. I don't look like you, I don't walk like you, I don't dance like you, I don't move like you or talk like you." He added "That doesn't make me odd, that makes me who I am. I want people to feel that essence of growth, this album is very consistent in the aspect of being eclectic."

Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha has expressed 'surprise' and 'disappointment' over the Prime Minister's response on appearing before Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) investigating the 2G scam.
In a letter written to the Prime Minister, Sinha said, "Of course, it is for JPC to decide whether you appear as a witness or not, but the same principle is applied to PAC (Public Account Committee) when you made a grand offer publicly to appear before it."
On April 3, the Prime Minister virtually rejected Sinha's demand for his appearance before JPC on 2G, saying the panel should take a call on it even as he asserted that he had nothing to hide. He had responded by saying that all "pertinent" documents related to 2G spectrum allocation of 2008 were available with the JPC.
"The decision as to what evidence should be sought and which individuals should be asked to appear before the JPC is a matter that needs to be decided internally by the JPC and its Chairman," the Prime Minister had said in his letter to Sinha.
Reacting to the Prime Minister's response, Sinha said that if the JPC was to come to conclusions only on the basis of records and documents then clearly it had wasted its time by calling so many witnesses to dispose before it. Sinha found it difficult to agree with the Prime Minister's claim that neither he nor his Government had anything to hide in this matter.
"If it was so, then a number of crucial documents could not have been held back from the JPC as the Government did. These documents had to be literally ferreted out of the Government by the JPC when the media brought them into public domain," Sinha alleged.

New vision for Old Town: City seeks residents' views on how Temecula's historic district should evolve
TEMECULA - Ask Sid Hamilton what he hopes will be in store for the future of Old Town, and you might have to wait until he stops laughing before he can offer his answer.
"Well, I think the future of Old Town is pretty clear," said Hamilton as he stood on a corner at Old Town Front and Fifth streets Wednesday afternoon. "I see a four-story building going up over here, the new city hall going up over there, the Dalton buildings over there. The city is just trying to bluff you; they already know what they are going to do."
Hamilton and his family have been operating Mad Madeline's restaurant in Old Town for 13 years. During that time, he has been asked similar questions about what Old Town should be. But no matter what suggestions have been offered back to inquiring minds at City Hall, he said, there is little to show for the suggestions coming from those who operate businesses in the area.
However, it seems Temecula may be ready to listen to the ideas of Hamilton and other community stakeholders after all. The city has shelled out $75,200 to hire a consultant to assist with the revamping of Old Town's specific plan. The city is inviting the public to a meeting focused on Old Town planning scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 43200 Business Park Drive.
Hamilton cites sporadic code enforcement, a lack of parking, a departure from the area's Western theme, untapped potential of weekday markets and overall unchecked growth as some of the issues that need to be ironed out before actual changes will take root.
"I don't understand why the city doesn't hear us," Hamilton said. "I'm not going to complain about new businesses coming in. But who's going to answer questions like, where are all these new people going to park?"
But with more businesses than ever interested in getting a foothold in Old Town, including the opening of Baily's restaurant and the three Dalton buildings, which mix residential, restaurant and retail space - city officials decided it's time to take the community's pulse.
"For years, we had nothing going on in Old Town," said Planning Director Debbie Ubnoske. "We would get an occasional sign request or facade improvement. But about two years ago, with the development of the Baily's building, the Dalton buildings, in conjunction with the announcement of the civic center, people have said: 'Wow, something is going on in Old Town.'"
Ubnoske said what used to be one planning application every few months has shifted into frequent planning application requests. Ubnoske said recent requests to develop buildings in Old Town that are three stories or taller, as well as an interest in large-scale projects, prompted the council to consider the long-term impacts of such developments.
She said the purpose of Tuesday's meeting is to hear the suggestions and concerns of local business owners in Old Town as well as all the residents of the city. The information will be used to revise the Old Town specific plan that was originally created in 1994, with the last revision in June 2006.

the nuvi 350 at walmart is a good price for that gps as well as posted above.

Feature plus:

Actually I'll go ahead and buy one.
I would go with the Garmin NUVI 350 at walmart! I have the 350 and its very easy to use ! It also has the best maps and routing of the ones i've used!
I just wish i had only paid 280.00 for mine!
As for generally speaking, you can't go wrong with the Garmin of any level. I personally have a Garmin nuvi 350 and my dad has a Garmin nuvi 660. Both are solid GPS units and have great POI's and fast lock-on's and directions (even recalculating is fast). I originially debated buying a Garmin because it's so much more than the other brands (Tom Tom, Navigon, Mio, etc), but I'm really glad I did after hearing about the problems of the other brands.
OP, do you have a laptop? If your use is trully rare, you might consider bringing your laptop in the car. A laptop with mapping software and a 30 dollar GPS receiver is all you need. It's clunky, but manageable if your need is rare. You can probably spend $100 or so on hardware from ram-mounts.com to mount the laptop safely.

The thesis put forward by Justices Markandey Katju and Gyan Sudha Misra on the Adivasis ("India, largely a country of immigrants," Jan. 12) is ground-breaking. The never-ending conflict and wars between the 'asuras' and the 'devars,' portrayed in our ithihasas and puranas, were actually the struggle of local inhabitants to safeguard their land from immigrants. Since history was written by immigrants, they assumed the role of heroes and the locals became demons and rakshasas. It is time the Adivasis, as sons of the soil, were given the respect and share in the national wealth due to them.
K.B. Kaseem,
The judgment should enlighten not only individuals but also governments. Many State governments, in the name of development, have been primarily responsible for the displacement of the tribals. This has caused a lot of cultural, economic and social stigma and suffering for them. Even today, there is no comprehensive rehabilitation and resettlement package or policy for displaced tribals. Our governments should wake up at least now and take care of the voiceless people.
Ramesh Kumar Gollapudi,
New Delhi
The article, an eye-opener, is a rediscovery of history. It urges us to retrospect and undo the atrocities perpetrated on a section of our population, condemned by us to live outside the pale of civilisation. The tribals, never considered part of the social mainstream, are displaced for various development projects — dams, wildlife sanctuaries and IT parks. They have been deprived of their life-support system from the forests and reduced to unskilled and even made bonded labour by rapacious exploiters. The need of the hour is social consciousness.
Ajesh Biju,
New Delhi
Pre-independent India was often invaded by outsiders. But we classified people on the basis of caste only after Independence, thanks to our politicians. To say that the Adivasis (who are now Scheduled Tribes) have suffered injustice is one thing. But to say India is a country of immigrants is another. Surely, India cannot be called "a land of immigrants" in the same sense as the U.S. or Australia.
The clash between the haves and the have-nots is more responsible — than caste equations — for the plight of the Adivasis. Vote-bank politics, more than the so-called clash between cultures, has wreaked greater havoc on them.

James Constable has turned down Oxford United's new contract offer and has joined Eastleigh on a two-year deal.
The iconic striker, who is just one goal short of equalling the all-time goalscoring record, was offered a new contract after his previous deal expired at the end of the season.
But the 29-year-old has rejected the terms.
He told the club's official website: "I have absolutely loved my time at the club and would like to thank everyone for making my time there so special.
"The fans have been unbelievable and I can't thank them enough for everything.
"The club has been a massive part of my life for the last six years and it's sad to be leaving but now I am looking forward to the next stage of my career."
Eastleigh, who last season won promotion into the Conference Premier, are managed by former U's player Richard Hill.
He was delighted to have secured Constable's services.
"I've spent the past two-and-a-half weeks speaking to James and telling him all about what we are striving to achieve here," Hill said.
"On the three occasions we've met, and during numerous telephone conversations, the subject of money has never been raised.
"In truth, James was keen to stay at Oxford and overhaul the club's scoring record; a feat that after six years of committed service there he was desperate to achieve.
"He was initially holding out in the hope that Oxford would offer him fair terms to stay and do that.
"Oxford's loss, though, is definitely our gain."

KOTA BARU: PAS is now confident that it can soon set up an Islamic form of government at the federal level, which it claims is gaining more acceptance, especially with non-Muslims, following the good showing of the Opposition coalition in last weekend's elections.
Its vice-president Datuk Husam Musa said there was growing support among the Chinese and Indians in various parts of the country towards the party's political struggle.
"We are now genuinely hopeful of ruling the country soon. We now only need over 30 parliamentary seats to seize control," Husam said at a thanksgiving rally, which was held at the compound of the Stadium Sultan Muhammad Ke IV before a mammoth crowd on Friday night.
Husam said the Opposition must build on the breakthrough by making the five states under its rule as exemplary states compared to others.
"Previously, Selangor folk looked down on Kelantan as a poor state. Now, we rule their state. Their mosques will be open to allow us to showcase the real situation in Kelantan to them," he added.
Husam said that with the capture of Selangor, the Opposition through PKR and DAP, could have access to files which can supposedly implicate many Barisan leaders of wrongdoings.
"We would also pressure the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) and Attorney-General Chambers to reopen cases which remained dormant for so long."
Deputy president Nasharudin Mat Isa said the time has come for Barisan chief Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to resign as Prime Minister.
"Some say if Abdullah goes, the Cabinet cannot be formed. Give it to us to govern then," Nasharuddin said at the same function.

LONDON (ICIS)--INEOS ChlorVinyls announced earlier this week plans to target a €50/tonne ($67/tonne) increase in the price of caustic soda effective from 1 October, although buyers on Friday questioned the hike.
"List prices for INEOS ChlorVinyls caustic soda are to increase by €50 per dry metric tonne with effect from 1 October 2013," the company said on Thursday.
As the market is balanced-to-long and there are no supply problems, buyers questioned the viability of an increase.
"I think there is no way for prices to go up, the speech from producers is that operating rates will drop and so stocks [will also drop] and this is what they will argue to increase prices," a buyer said.
However, "everybody will be reducing inventories [too] by [the end of the] year, we will do so, therefore demand will drop further also," the buyer added.
In fact, the buyer thought that there was room for prices to drop in the fourth quarter in the European market.
($1 = €0.75)

How to Trim Rabbit Toenails
Do you love holding your pet rabbit, but get scratched because of long and sharp nails? Well, read on to learn how to fix that problem.
1Buy scissor-like rabbit toenail clippers for shorter haired breeds. Dog toenail clippers are recommended.Ad
2Calm your bunny and have a helper hold it. Make sure that the rabbit isn't or won't get frightened; ask the helper to hold it so you can access the rabbit's nails.
3Find the part of your rabbit's nail that is red. This is called the quick. Be careful to avoid this while trimming, since it will bleed if cut. The rabbit will usually wiggle or "jump" if you start to cut the quick.
4Put the clippers about half of a centimeter away from the end of the red part. Slowly and carefully clip the tip of the nail.Ad
We could really use your help!
rate articles?
drug tests?
- If you cut too close to the quick, the nail will start bleeding. If it does bleed, put cornstarch on the nail.
- It's recommended to keep cornstarch on hand in case you accidentally cut the quick.

Congressman's Immigration Remarks Prompt Calls for Death, Torture
Posters on neo-Nazi forums are publicly calling for the torture and murder of Congressman Pete Stark (D-Calif.) over comments he made on June 26 during a Fremont, Calif., town hall meeting. The Youtube video of the event has gone viral among racist and anti-immigration groups.
During the meeting, Stark mocked a questioner who identified himself as a Minuteman, the loosely organized movement that is best known for holding armed border-watch patrols, by saying, "Who are you going to kill today?" When the Minuteman claimed that border security was a disaster, Stark replied: "If you knew anything about our borders, you would know that's not the case. Our borders are quite secure, thank you." Stark's remarks were met with jeers from the audience.
Stark's assertion that U.S. borders are secure has been met with violent reaction in racist circles. On the neo-Nazi Vanguard News Network forum, poster "Mike Todd" suggested the congressman be tortured to death by being "staked out along the border face up with his eyelids cut off to be eaten by ants." In the same thread, "Fred" wrote, "Stark will have one rope reserved for him on the 'Day of the Rope,'" a reference to a scene in the infamous race-war novel, The Turner Diaries, when "race traitors" are murdered and hung from lamp posts and trees.
"The incredible vitriol directed at Congressman Stark is really quite frightening," said Mark Potok, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project, which found and publicized the comments. "But these kinds of comments are not entirely limited to those on the radical right. In fact, the furious tone of many opponents of immigration has helped to unleash this kind of visceral rage."
On Stormfront.org, which is the world's largest racist forum and run by a former Alabama Klan leader, "EagerWarrior" wrote: "If there is any Justice in the World that 'man' will suffer a horrible slow death at the hands of the Mestizos he so obviously represents."
The thread about Stark on the white supremacist political party American Third Position's website is particularly nasty. A poster going by the name "Robert Jones," who is described as a leader and senior moderator of the party's forum, wrote: "Treason, may his death be protracted and his suffering severe. We do have laws for dealing with such treachery if only we can gain the political power to enforce them." "Marcius" pitched in with "His acts can only be described as verging on treason."

'Voice of the Patriot Movement' Backs Property Requirement to Vote
The last couple of years have been boom times for the far right's distinctive rhetoric of dispossession. From backwoods militias who believe foreign troops are training on U.S. soil to take away their constitutional rights, to suburban Tea Party weekend warriors who heatedly promise to "take the country back" from their perceived demonic Democratic overlords, America is abuzz with groups and individuals claiming to represent and defend the "true" republican ideals upon which they believe this country was founded.
Of course, not all of these groups and individuals have the firmest grasp on American history. Take, for example, the website RebelRepublic.us, one of many Internet pages mounted by members of the antigovernment "Patriot" movement since the election of Barack Obama.
Like many of their peers, the activists behind Rebel Republic — which bills itself as the "Voice of the Patriot Movement" — aim to "promote a return to early Republic ideals." It is curious, then, that the site's agenda includes a promise to "[d]rive a change in voting laws to allow only US Citizens that meet at least one of the following criteria the opportunity to vote: they pay taxes, have served or are serving in the U.S. military, and/or own land in the U.S." In another post on the subject of "voting reform," the site maintains: "This country is built on the fundamental premise that property is to be protected from the government and other raiders. It only makes sense that those that have a vested interest in maintaining and protecting that property should have a direct say in how government intervenes."
Forget the fact that anyone who buys a carton of milk "pays taxes"—we were more struck by the bit about "owning land." Why stop there—should we also bring back feudal estates and the law of primogeniture?
We were curious to know if Rebel Republic really thinks bringing back property qualifications for voting represents a return to "early Republic ideals." The expansion of the franchise that took place in America during the late 1780s and 90s — limited though it was to white males — was rightly viewed by the Founders, particularly Thomas Jefferson, as the very fulfillment of that republican ideal, i.e., the self-government of free men. The only early Americans who worried about the democratizing of political power were arch-Federalists, elitist in style and politics, who also favored a strong central government at the expense of states' rights. Hardly the kind of people you'd expect to find sites like Rebel Republic making common cause with. ( continue to full post… )

07 November 2013 09:11 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--India Oil Corp (IOC) has restarted its 550,000 tonne/year purified terephthalic acid (PTA) unit at Panipat on 5 November after a three-month shutdown, a company source said on Thursday.
The company is currently ramping up production at the plant, the source said without providing the unit's exact run rate.
The PTA plant was shut on 2 August because of compressor issues, and was supposed to be off line for a month, the source said.
The restart schedule was delayed repeatedly as the company decided to conduct maintenance at the plant on top of the repair works, the source said.
Prior to the shutdown, the plant had been running at 75-80% of capacity since early May because of insufficient supply of feedstock paraxylene.

Critical Review by Patricia Lothrop-Green
SOURCE: "It's Hip! It's Contemporary! It's Literature!," in School Library Journal, Vol. 43, No. 9, September 1997, pp. 128-29.
In the following review, Lothrop-Green provides a brief overview of the plot of Morality Play and praises the novel's exploration of the role of art in revealing universal truths.
Barry Unsworth's Morality Play (Norton, 1995) was praised by novelist Hilary Mantel (in the New York Times Book Review) as "a near-perfect novel, with a diamond's glitter and a diamond's hardness: a profound meditation on the nature of justice and the transforming power of art." It is also a gripping mystery, a coming-of-age story, and a fascinating road trip through 14th-century England. Nicholas is a young cleric on the run from his boring desk job (copying Latin manuscripts). He sees a troupe of traveling players grouped around a death bed; characteristically, Nicholas fails to do his duty and absolve the dying man. The troupe could disguise his fugitive status, however, so he persuades the players to let him wear the dead man's clothes—both literally and figuratively. As he (and readers) learn about the life of the group and the nature of the morality play, issues bridging that time and ours are raised: the role of women, social roles generally, prejudice and fear, the arrogance of privilege and the cynicism of power, and the piety or nostalgia that conceal corruption. Questions of identity and purpose underline the actors masking, disguises, and role-playing (Follow this novel with a discussion of masking in Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing). When the troupe stops to raise money for the funeral of the dead man, they are caught in another death. Why has a young boy been so hastily buried? What does a father's radical politics have to do with the accusation against his mute daughter? The players' leader decides to make a daringly original move: to improvise a play about the murder. Like a mask, art conceals but can thereby reveal the truth.

Amid scepticism about 'specially designated global terrorist' Ilyas Kashmiri's death in a drone attack on Friday night, Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on Sunday that he was 98 per cent certain that the man considered by some analysts here as al-Qaeda's chief military strategist had been killed.
However, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan has been quoted as stating that Kashmiri is "alive and safe."
Mr. Malik was quoted by Reuters as saying that all ground intelligence showed that Kashmiri was dead. "What I can say is there is a 98 per cent chance he is dead. Since we do not have the body, we do not have DNA we need to confirm. This is the substantive evidence we are looking for."
Compared to most drone attacks, a considerable amount of details is now available on the Predator strike that killed Kashmiri in South Waziristan.
The statement issued by the banned Harkat-ul Jihad al Islami announcing its commander's death has been seconded by the political agent of the tribal agency, Shoaib Khan.
According to details made available to the media, Kashmiri was in the compound of a tribesman associated with the Mullah Nazir group, considered "good Taliban" by Pakistan because it has never attacked targets in the country. Soon after the unmanned Predators struck their targets, terrorists apparently surrounded the area and refused to allow locals to help in the rescue work. The bodies, according to officials, were charred beyond recognition and swiftly buried.
With the drones this time reportedly taking out a 'high value target,' questions began to be asked about the stablishment's insistence on opposing Predator attacks publicly when they have proved effective time and again in targeting terrorists.
