Spring 2014's fresh crop of Twin Cities eateries

Kyatchi strikes out and hits some home runs
By Emily Weiss
The Twin Cities long ago got the memo that Japanese food isn't just about sushi and sashimi.
We have Tanpopo, a relaxing and refreshing temple to the holy chewy noodle, in Lowertown. We've got 100 percent authentic teishoku meals (think of them as the Japanese prix fixe) at Sakura. And we've got the little jewel box Obento-ya serving just-right bento meals.
The scene, you could say, has breadth if not depth. And then comes a sudden mini-explosion in an unexpected category: the Japanese gastropub. Moto-i started it all, three years ago, with its onsite sake brewery. (Have you heard it's the only one outside Japan? I have, every single time Moto-i's name is invoked.) They had the small-plates, big-flavor concept to themselves for a while. Then Masu opened last spring, bringing a livelier, louder, younger bar atmosphere and a menu that strays pretty far from tradition. (Though, who knows, maybe they'd like bacon-wrapped tomato skewers and tuna jerky served over tiny, smoking stoves in Tokyo.)

Zen Box Izakaya
602 Washington Ave. S., Minneapolis
items $3.50-$12
But there's room, I believe, to bring both a little more breadth and a little more depth to Japanese food in the Twin Cities. Something a little warmer, a little more casual, something that's not about innovation but about Japanese classics. Make room for Zen Box Izakaya.
Zen Box has been keeping downtown Minneapolis office workers full and happy for years, with takeout boxes of sticky rice, gyoza, grilled meats, and other simple things, in their tiny skyway location. Owners John Ng and Lina Goh, who are transplants from San Francisco, had built up enough of a following that when news broke this spring that they had found a location on the east end of Washington, near the Guthrie, it sent little ripples of excitement through the gyoza-loving community. There aren't many skyway holes-in-the-wall that could pull off that kind of expansion or get that many people to care about it.
And expand they did. The new space isn't huge—bigger and brighter than Moto-i, smaller and more intimate than Masu—but the menu is substantial, with close to 100 items. Diners get a chipper reminder that everything except the ramen is meant for sharing, and there's no such thing as a starter or a main. Maybe you've tried that tack before elsewhere—ordering a few small plates to share and planning to order more as the mood strikes—only to have your waiter disappear for half an hour before inquiring if you'd like the check. Not here.
From the time they greet you with a cheery "Irrasaimase!" ("Welcome!"—sometimes chanted in spooky unison) to the time you finally push aside the last plate, the staff at Zen Box seem to know exactly when you might like, say, another round of gyoza, a few more crispy, salty soba sticks, or just a little more room on the table. Goh herself is an active presence in the dining room, keeping everyone on track.
Izakaya means "sake house" or "pub" in Japanese, and the menu Goh and Ng have put together hews pretty close to the classics, with the addition of some noodle and ramen dishes and even a curry, and a strong emphasis on their own version of comfort food. There's a selection of fried things (agemono) like dumplings, croquettes, and crispy popcorn chicken; a list of grilled things (yakimono) like salmon, short ribs, and tofu; and a bunch of "izakaya classics" that don't fit in either category.
The menu standouts combine the best attributes of drinking food—spicy, salty, crunchy, and packed with flavor—while still being substantial enough to build a meal around. The Buta Kimchi tops this list. Thick, chewy, fatty slices of pork belly are sautéed and smothered with kimchi. As fermented cabbage goes, it's on the mellow end of the spectrum, but still tangy and deep.
Another pork belly dish, the Chashu Yaki, also sent chopsticks flying and fighting over the last bit. Rings of pork belly, almost devoid of fat, take a light hit of citrusy ponzu sauce, contrasting with a smoky charred note from the grill. And the flavor went all the way down through the bed of grilled sweet onions, which got snatched up, too.
Comfort food meets bar food—and fantastic things happen—in a plate of tebasaki. Tender, meaty chicken wings with a decadently fatty layer of skin are coated in flavorful sea salt and just enough pepper. If a Buffalo wing went to finishing school to learn a little class, it might come out like these simple, subtle, and refined wings.
Two more yakimono tempted us to order another round: Yaki Tofu is a skewer of grilled tofu cubes with a smoky, thick crust and a creamy-chewy center, with just enough sweet teriyaki glaze. And the salmon teriyaki was cooked until the second it turned meltingly tender and no more. Grilling salmon is a pretty fundamental thing, but when fish comes to the table at just the right temperature and texture, you can be sure the kitchen and the wait staff have found their groove.
The ramen dishes—miso, soy, and kimchi, served with springy egg noodles, sliced pork belly, and a soft-boiled egg—are deeply mysterious and alluring. The broth is rich and chocolaty, with the charred flavor of deeply browned meats and vegetables, but without any tang. The kimchi ramen, a satisfying meal for a single diner that I predict will become Zen Box's claim to fame, is hot in a way that fills your head with warm thoughts and makes you focus on what you're eating, not in a way that blows steam out your ears.

(Overview: This page presents information about purchasing prints, licensing photographs, requests for print and license donations, use of photographs and text on web sites and blogs, workshops, presentations, and contact information. Contact me if you don't see the information you are looking for: email@example.com)
Most photographs on this website and at the photography archive site are available as prints and/or may be licensed for other uses – drop me an email if you see one that interests you. (Full contact information is found at the bottom of this page.) Visit the photography archive to see an organized archive of many of my photographs.
Fine Art Photographic Prints
My main goal is to produce high quality fine art prints – I believe that the best way to enjoy a photograph is to acquire a print that you can come to know over time.
I personally make each print myself, using the Epson 7900 system and printing with archival Ultrachrome inks on archival papers. Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk for color prints — a beautiful baryta paper that does not use optical brightening agents. For black and white I to use Ilford Galerie Gold Mono Silk, a paper said to remind many of traditional darkroom prints. I also use other papers including Epson Enhanced Matte, Epson Premium Luster (now known as Ultrapremium Lustre), and Museo Silver Rag and more. Individual fine art prints are signed, titled, dated, and numbered serially in the border area.
Price list
Prices for "bare" unmounted prints in my standard sizes*:
- $65 — 9″ x 12″ or 8″ x 12″ print with 1″ or larger border
- $110 — – 12″ x 16″ or 12″ x 18″ print with .5″ or larger border
- $200 —18″ x 24″ or 16″ x 24″ print with 1″ or larger border
- $300 —22.5″ x 30″ or 22″ x 33″ print with 1″ or larger border
Prices for "bare" unmounted prints that use a 2:1 panoramic format*:
- $95 — 9″ x 18″ print with 1″ or larger border
- $150 — 12″ x 24″ print with 1″ or larger border
- $240 — 16″ x 32″ print with 1″ or larger border
- $375 — 20″ x 40″ print with 2″ or larger border
Prices include standard shipping for continental USA addresses. Expedited shipping (e.g. – two-day or overnight) and/or shipping outside the continental USA are available at additional cost. Sales tax is added to purchases delivered in the state of California.
Other custom sizes and formats are available by request, with pricing determined individually. Not all photographs are available in all sizes, so please ask me about the photograph that you are interested in.
Prices are subject to change. There may be a discount from these prices if you include multiple prints on a single order. Contact me to discuss your requirements and pricing on larger orders.
Print and paper sizes are approximate and may vary slightly from what is listed here. Sizes refer to the printed area. The prints are made on larger paper with surrounding unprinted margins of approximately the dimensions described above. For example a 22″ x 33″ print might come on 24″ x 36″ paper, and have approximately a 1″ empty margin between the print area and the edges of the paper.
- Vertical/horizontal dimension ratios (e.g. – 12″ x 1″6 versus 12″ x 18″) are determined by the way I have chosen to crop a particular print. In most cases I prefer a 4:3 ratio, yielding print areas such as 9″ x 12″, 12″ x 16″, 18″ x 24″ and so forth. Let me know if you require a print with a different ratio, but be aware that cropping will alter the photograph.
Print size comparisons
Larger prints of some photographs may be available
I can print in-house at up to 24″ in the short dimension, but some photographs can be printed at larger sizes with excellent quality through high-end printing services with whom I work. Optimum size depends on a variety of factors including the original image dimensions, the content of the image, how it will be displayed, your planned use, and so forth. Prices vary depending upon size and other factors. Please contact me for specific information about the print you are interested in.
Because I want you to be pleased with the results, I do not sell fine art prints at excessively large sizes that compromise print quality. If you request a print with dimensions that won't produce a high quality image I'll recommend a smaller size or perhaps suggest alternative photographs that might work better. I am happy to discuss what I think will and won't work before you make your decision, and I'd rather risk losing a sale than sell you a print that won't look great to you. :-)
What about the text in the borders?
Your print will not include the border text or embedded copyright and watermark text that is seen in the online versions of my photographs at this web site and elsewhere. Those features only appear in the small online versions of the photographs. Prints consist entirely of the photograph with an appropriate white border, signed, numbered, and dated – but with nothing else added.
Ordering and Payment
Email me to order prints or to ask questions. Let me know what image you are interested in (a link to the page where you saw it will help me identify it) and what size you would like. I'll email you to confirm your request, get shipping info from you, and so forth. I can accept payment by by credit card.
I personally print and ship every photograph myself – essentially I'm a small more or less custom operation. I think that is a good thing. :-)
My photographs are licensed for many purposes including installation in public/private spaces, hotels, gift shop sales in national parks and monuments, magazines/journals, book covers, cards, web sites, brochures, etc… even on a triathlon t-shirt! Contact me for more information or to send a proposal.
Use of Photographs and Articles on Web Sites and Blogs
I'm always happy to hear that you find joy or inspiration in my photography or that you find my writing interesting and useful. If you like one of my photographs or one of my posts and you want others to know about it via your website or blog please post a text link back to the original photograph on my web site(s). While I appreciate the text links, you must ask me for permission before posting my photographs on other web sites and before reposting my articles or substantial portions of them. This applies to commercial and non-commercial web sites, and the same copyright issues apply in both cases. Do not copy photographs or articles and place the copied material on your website without prior permission.
Any use of my photography in a web site or other electronic form (as well as in printed form) is subject to copyright laws and may only be done with appropriate permission and a license. Please contact me for more information if you would like to license photographs for web/electronic placement or for any other use of my photography or writing.
Requests for Print Donations and Cost-Free Licenses
I occasionally donate a limited cost-free license to use my photography to organizations that do "good work" in the public interest and whose causes I believe in. If you think that your request might be in line with my general policies, please contact me to discuss your proposal. It may help you to know that I typically consider some or all of the following when deciding whether or not I can help you:
- Is your group or cause one to which I have donated or would otherwise donate my money or time?
- Is your organization a non-profit group doing work for the public good and supported entirely or almost so by donations?
- Are others working on your project also donating their time and work to the project?
- Will you protect my intellectual property rights to my photography?
- What is the specific value of my work to your project?
- What is the value to me in supporting your project, and how will you follow up with me to report on this?

A note about online image quality
The .jpg format used for images on web sites uses lossy compression and cannot display the full dynamic range (from white to black) or range of colors. In addition, the computer screen backlights the image while the print is lit from the front. Therefore, web versions of photographs do not have the same quality seen in prints, and prints will look somewhat different from what you see on your monitor. I happen to think prints look better! :-)

But there is no escaping the conclusion that the main offering, Daifugo, is a game whose sole purpose is to facilitate social interaction. Playing it with a computer opponent or online makes little sense and fails to deliver the player any satisfaction for their time spent.

Hi guys,
I'm Theresa. I used to practice zazen on a regular (at least three times a week or so) basis, yet I've fallen out of the loop, and it's been months!
I just got a new job (bringing me up the three jobs). I hope to quit one, once the new one becomes full time, and keep my other part time job. Plus I'm in a band. We just recorded our first demo, and we have our first show on Friday, so band practice has kept me pretty busy. Even though I am busy (and slightly stressed), I need to jump back into meditating. I'm sure it'll help.
I used to practice in the spare bedroom in my house. The floor is hardwood, and I'd use a pillow and a blanket, but now I have a roomate. I need to find a spot where I won't be distracted and where my kittens can't bug me!
I noticed an invitation to ZEN,from a Buddhism forum.Thank you. I usually ZEN around 9:30am for approximately half an hour to one hour.� Sometimes if I feel unusually stressed,I'll try another ZEN later in the afternoon,around 5:00pm.� Most of the time,I breathe when I prepare for cooking,gardening,and housework. Most of the time I do "no-thinking." meditation. What else might you suggest?
�for the invitation!
Thank you, Scott ...
Meditate?� Hmmm ... when I sit on the beach and stare at the ocean, or�enjoy�how the sunlight glimmers through the leaves in the woods ... I suppose you could call that a form of meditation ...
"...how the sunlight glimmers through the leaves in the woods" - Uno
... and you feel the warm breeze across your face, as the light dances�in your hair...
� to everyone. This looks like an intresting group, seems can mabe be a distresser.
Lis Ann for the invite and also your compliments. I have tried on many occations to email you but i dont seem to get anywhre. You r on my frienshup list but when i click to email you, it just does no work. Can u help me on this.? Love to hear from you
And thank you Scott for the invitation.
here I am �� ...i studied Zen with Joan Halifax Roshi for about 4 years , as I now am doing a native American SpiralDancing Apprenticeship it is sometimes a little difficult to keep up a regular zazen practice ...hope joining this group will strenghthn my motivation.
I am running a small retreat center in France and we do have a mediation room/ zendo --- so that is the place we and others sit.
Gassho to everyone here, Dagmar
What sort of band are you in, and what do you play/sing? How did your first show go?
[report anonymous abuse]
Thanks for joining in!
[report anonymous abuse]
Haha. Yeah, three jobs is quite the load. I just got my third job (a part time office job at a flooring warehouse). I'm hoping it turns to full time soon, so I can quit my current full time! I'm not happy with it.
The first show went really well. I was nervous all day until we got there, and for some reason, I was fine. I was able to look at everyone as I sang (That answers one of your questions). There were a lot of people there, and the bar is tiny as it is, so people were right up in my face, but they were friends, and it was easier than I thought it'd be. We're an all girl rock band. We cover two songs by The Crystals (He's a rebel and�as well as And�Then He Kissed Me). Of course they're sped up with guitar, bass, and drums and all girls singing back ups. The rest of our songs sound sort of like that. It's definately music that you can clap to. Very catchy.
I'm kinda glad it's over, and I can't wait to play again!
I have been practicing zazen informally for a couple of years now. I really enjoy sitting outside. I am not sure if my practice is truly zen or not as sometimes I sit just to be "open" to experience. Therefore, each session is very different!
Anyway, I look forward to reading everyone's posts and learning!
Hey this is all new to me. i was thinking about joining a Zen Buddhist group near my community. ive done some research but i was hoping someone could tell me more about it and what they do during the meetings. Im really looking forward to understanding more about Zen buddhism

LAHORE: The Pakistan government shifted Aitzaz Ahsan from Rawalpindi's Adiala jail to this city early on Sunday to enable him to file his nomination papers for the January 8 elections. He is now under arrest at his home here.
The barrister was imprisoned hours after the imposition of Emergency on November 3 for his role in the lawyers' movement and the legal battle for the reinstatement of the former Chief Justice, Iftikhar Chaudhary.
After keeping him three weeks in solitary confinement, the government had to shift the lawyer here on the orders of the Election Commission.
Mr. Ahsan is with the Pakistan People's Party and was a member of the last Parliament. Party leader Benazir Bhutto has told PPP candidates to go ahead and file nominations while she decides whether or not to boycott the elections.
As nominations have to be handed in person, Mr. Ahsan made a representation to the Election Commission for his release, which then directed the government to release all political prisoners to enable their participation in the election process.
Spiritedly defiant
But Mr. Ahsan is not being released yet. Dozens of policemen and several police vans stood around his Zaman Park home, which the authorities have declared a sub-jail.
This correspondent managed to walk in to the house in the morning, bumping into Mr. Ahsan just as he was leaving to file his nominations.
He looked thinner, but except for a moustache — as the events of the next hour showed, he is old self — spiritedly defiant against the Musharraf regime.
"I can't speak to you here, this is a sub-jail. Come to the court. I am going there to file my nomination," he said.
Three vehicles with armed policemen escorted the Cambridge-educated barrister as he drove with friends in an SUV to the civil courts where an additional magistrate was accepting nominations.
A small group of lawyers awaited his arrival, clutching garlands and bags of rose petals.
"Our hearts and souls are with Aitzaz Ahsan. He is a son of the soil. He is working for democratic rights. He was trying really to put the people of Pakistan in the ray of nations," said Rafaqat Ali, president of the Lahore Cantonment Bar Association.
A mini-stampede broke out the moment Mr. Ahsan got off his vehicle, as the lawyers, shouting slogans in his praise struggled with the policemen to get close to him. They showered him with the rose petals and garlanded him. The police tried to keep the lawyers and the handful of supporters who accompanied him from entering the court house, but screaming and shouting, they fought their way in.
"They have brought me here, as you can see, on a Sunday so that I cannot intermingle with my community of lawyers. This would have been crowded with lawyers on a weekday," he said.
At the entrance to the courtrooms, there was another struggle as police once more tried to keep the group out. Mr. Ahsan announced he would not file his nominations and started to walk out of the courthouse.
A senior policeman came up to him and requested to him not to leave. Mr. Ahsan relented, and a few of his supporters were allowed in with him.
The process took about 15 minutes in a convivial atmosphere. The additional magistrate and Mr. Ahsan exchanged pleasantries as a clerk stamped some papers.

The Comet Book App clearly shows you when and from which direction Comet ISON can be viewed.
The direction and elevation of Comet ISON can change noticeably in a day due to its fast apparent motion. The moon and a bright planet may be convenient as a guide to find the comet; nevertheless they have a large apparent motion, too.
This App determines where Comet ISON is in the sky adn when it becomes visible at your observing site.
You can easily start your observation of Comet ISON using Comet Book as a guide to the direction and elevation of the comet.
Pressing the "Select Comet" icon will display a star chart with the best time to view the Comet.
The date and time can be changed by sliding each round button of the slide bars respectively. Using the date slide bar only will show you the changed position of the comet everyday.

Corey Brewer matched his career high with 27 points and the Denver Nuggets overcame a 40-point effort by Kobe Bryant to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 126-114 on Wednesday night for their seventh straight win at home. Brewer hit four of his six 3-pointers in the final 12-plus minutes, helping the Nuggets hold off the Lakers, whose five-game winning streak was snapped. Bryant, who hit 40 points for the 116th time in his career, has scored 30 or more points in 10 straight games. Kenneth Faried had 21 points and 15 rebounds, and Danilo Gallinari added 19 points for Denver. Ty Lawson had 17 points to go with 14 assists, and Andre Iguodala also scored 17 points.

text: GamesBeat Google Play hammers many Swing Copters clones right off the app market Above: Swing Copters is the latest game from the developer of Flappy Bird.Image Credit: .Gears Studios August 22, 2014 4:00 PM Jeff Grubb 0 If you released a Swing Copters clone on Google Play yesterday, it's probably not available to download anymore. Google cleaned up its Android app store today by eliminating a ton of clones that used Swing Copters name or art assets (as Android OS newsite Phandroid first spotted). Flappy Bird developer Dong Nguyen released his latest game on iOS and Android yesterday, and opportunist developers were ready to try to steal some of flying game's attention with apps that featured an identical name and lifted art. Today, when you search for Swing Copters on the Play store, Nguyen's game pops up first and it's the only one with that name. This is likely part of Google's wider efforts to create a better experience on its app market for both developers as well as uses who don't want to accidentally download something inauthentic. Mobile developer or publisher? VentureBeat is studying mobile app analytics. Fill out our 5-minute survey, and we'll share the data with you. Gamers that hopped on Google Play yesterday looking for Swing Copters might have had difficulty finding it. Here's what it looked like at one point yesterday when you put "Swing Copters" into the search field on Google Play: Above: More than a dozen games using the Swing Copters name yesterday on Google Play.Image Credit: Phandroid Today, you get something completely different with the same search: Above: Today's Google Play store only has one Swing Copters.Image Credit: Phandroid Now, as you can see, today's search still comes back with a bunch of clones, but none use the same name or assets as the real Swing Copters. Nguyen's game is also the first result. Yesterday, the authentic version was occasionally buried under other games. As for stuff like Swing Bird and Copters Man, well — those clones have done enough to survive today's purge. They didn't copy the name or use any of the art from Swing Copters, so Google is letting them live.

Not sure either. Plans seem to suggest a "regular payment" contract. I currently top-up by phone/internet, but cannot find how much the calls are costing. It worries me that T Mobile make it so difficult to find out.

The Economy, the Courts, and Bad Laws
12:00 AM, Jun 30, 2012 • By IRWIN M. STELZER
Then there is the high-tech sector, on which the economy depends for its long-term growth. A steady flow of innovations is needed if productivity in the manufacturing and other sectors of the economy is to advance. And a steady flow of new consumer products is needed if consumers are to be persuaded to part with their increasingly hard-earned and scarce dollars—doubt that and look at the pictures of consumers queuing in pouring rain so as to be the first to cross the thresholds of Apple stores around the world when a new product is announced.
That sector has been the scene of patent wars, with all of the players suing each other for violating patent rights in an attempt to gain advantage, not by innovating, but by preventing rivals from bringing competing products to market. All of the participants in these legal battles profess distaste for that other guy's decision to move rivalry from the market place to the court room, and profess disgust at the fees they have to pay the lawyers for whom patent litigation is providing a substitute for the decline in fees from big merger deals.
Along comes one of America's most distinguished and brilliant jurists and scholars (also a senior lecturer at the prestigious University of Chicago Law School and author of some 40 books and countless articles), Judge Richard Posner, sitting as a trial court judge in a patent infringement suit between Apple and Motorola Mobility, the latter owned by Google. The competition between those companies has heated up: sales of smart phones using Google's Android operating system overwhelm sales of iPhones around the world, and Apple plans to kick Google Maps off its iPhones in favor of its own product.
Instead of allowing the case to proceed to a jury trial, Posner called halt. Even if Apple's patents were infringed, said Posner, it is "wild conjecture" that Motorola can damage Apple, and be declined to allow Apple's lawyers to "turn the case into an Apple versus Motorola popularity contest." So why bother having a long trial to determine whether there is infringement, when no money will change hands if there is?
There are other cases making their way through the courts, so Judge Posner's decision might not end the patent wars. But because of the esteem in which Posner is held, this decision might, only might, persuade other courts to follow, and the combatants to settle their differences and transfer funds from their lawyers to their labs.
These are only some of the examples of the way in which the courts play an important part in shaping the American economy. These courts, of course, deal with the laws handed to them for interpretation. But because laws are often vague—designedly so in order to forge a compromise in a fractious legislature—courts have considerable discretion. In past weeks alone they have transferred billions of dollars of income from younger, healthier people to older, less healthy people. They have transferred income from owners of small businesses to executives in larger ones by forcing entrepreneurs to increase payments to large insurers, and saddling small competitors with costs and regulations that larger companies can more easily accommodate. They have pushed the coal industry closer to extinction, transferring income from hard-working coal miners to more affluent environmentalists and their friends. And they might have hastened the end of the patent wars, for which income transfer—lawyers to entrepreneurs and inventors—we can be provisionally thankful.
But don't put all of the blame on the judges. It is not their fault if the law they are asked to apply is bad. The bucks in their billions stop with the legislators.

AC Milan midfielder Riccardo Montolivo has welcomed the arrival of Giampaolo Pazzini from Inter Milan.
The pair were together at Fiorentina.
"As a person he's splendid and we've been friends for many years," Montolivo told Milan Channel.
"Together we won the Coppa Italia Primavera with the Atalanta youth team, playing together for that club, at Fiorentina, in the Under-21 Italy side and for the Nazionale.
"It will be wonderful if he arrives. Pazzini has done well in all the teams he played for. He is a fox in the box, very strong in the air and helps his sides to play well.
"It's wonderful to meet up here, at the club with the most trophies in the world, especially as I feel our squad is missing a player precisely like him."

First Powerbook, and first mac ever
Hi all,
been lurking around this site almost for a year now reading, trying to learn and get wiser on what apple really was all about. Last christmas I bought an Ipod (40 gig, guess it's the rev 3?!) And just about three month ago I finally ordered and got my first mac computer product. A 15" powerbooks with all the upgrades you can put in it (graphic memory etc.).
Love using it, allthough the mac OS system isen't as stable as I would have liked it to be, it haven't crashed as many times as my PC have so far.
My only issue with my powerbook is one annoying pixel flaw almost in the center of the screen, it's not just white or black.. It's red?! was wondering if anybody else in here have had problems with red pixel flaws and what to do with it? It's quite annoying when using photoshop and so on.
Other than that I love my Apple 'puter and would never dream of going back to pc!.
|Oct 2, 2004, 11:11 AM
Congrats on the PowerBook purchase! Sometimes Macs come with a bad install of Mac OS X. Repair your permissions. To do that, go to, your HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and then select the drive on your left in that window and then press Repair Permissions (Not Verify Permissions).
To try and fix the red pixel:
Take a soft cloth and rub in a circle motion on and around the red pixel and see if it goes away. It worked for a couple of my stuck pixels. Don't press too hard, but rather just like your touching the screen.

Sometimes what appears to be a bad pixel is actually a splash of some liquid that has now dried and left a small lens that has you believing there's a pixel problem.
A damp cloth should be able to wipe away the splatter -- just make sure you don't add any more by having the cloth too wet.
Apple sells a package with two types of tear-open foil packets with screen cleaning tissues, and another with a bottle of something included. The pack suggests cleaning once a week; I prefer once a month.
If you wear glasses, I would suggest cleaning them just before watching a DVD as it certainly helps viewing.

I also bought an iPod, and then ended up switching - a move I am very very happy with! Hope NEVER to go back!
I also have a couple of mates that have done the same! One is has his own IT company and moving his whole company over to Mac - including re-writing his software products for the Mac OS.
I now hate using the PC's at work - and had to use my work laptop the other day and I almost threw up!
I got a 3G 40GB iPod last Oct (when iTunes for Windoze came out), and then bought my 17" PB in Jun 04! Completely head over heels in love with it!
My OS is very stable! Only hiccups I've ever had was Safari freezing when I had several multiple chat windows open at once - but haven't had that happen since the second java update.
As for dead pixels... i have one pink (?) one about four millimeters in from the left, and about 2cm up... So in the very bottom left hand corner. Tried rubbing it out - but no luck. ONly really notice it when I watch a 4:3 video or movie file. Had my dock on the left hand side for a while - but put it back on the bottom... so rarely even notice its there.
Welcome to the club! Enjoy!!!

if spot is in center of display then you may be able to get it replaced, but only if it's very noticable, and it wouldn't hurt to mention that you need to do important gfx work. (apple tends to be a little more generous when they know you're a profesional purchaser.) I'd recomend a hike to your apple store, it can't hurt.

When one of our clients, Mr. Xavier opened an issue with us regarding the Usage stats not being shown, we were certain that this is a bug with DirectAdmin in the way how its license are read. We changed the ethernet_dev in directadmin.conf, but that didn't work out.
Client was asking us,
In Admin Area –> Complete Usage Statistics –> Usage stats for venet0:0 is showing "None"
It's possible to fix this to reflect the traffic of this virtual adapter?
DirectAdmin didn't give a direct solution. Instead provided us with a complete packed files related to DirectAdmin. So the solution was this.
cd /usr/local/directadmin

Mobile phones have helped police in cracking several cases, writes
K.V. Subramanya
THE RECENT arrest of a six-member gang that allegedly robbed a real estate agency staff of Rs. 10 lakh cash at gunpoint on Castle Street has again showed that the advent of mobile phone has not only made communication easier and faster but also helped the police in cracking some major crimes.
After obtaining the mobile phone number of one of the suspects, the police tracked the phone and eventually arrested him and his two accomplices from a cinema in Thiruvananthapuram. Later, the police arrested their three accomplices in Bangalore and Madikeri. An officer connected with the investigation said tracing the gang would not have been possible if not for the mobile phone.
A look at some of the important crimes detected by the city police in the past few years show that in many cases, where there were hardly any leads, the investigators succeeded in tracing the suspects solely on the basis of call details of mobile phones.
The most important of such detections was in the murder of realtor Subbaraju. He was shot dead at his office on Seshadripuram Main Road in Vyalikaval police station limits in January 2000.
The two sharpshooters, who had shot at Subbaraju, inadvertently dropped their mobile phone while escaping in an autorickshaw. It was the details of calls made from and to the mobile phone that gave the clue to the police that the Mumbai underworld had a role in the realtor's killing. Subsequently, the police arrested Yusuf Bachkana who had shot at the realtor. He was later convicted by a city court.
Some time ago, the Fraser Town police arrested Manjunath alias Raju (18) who had allegedly murdered Kaladevi Chandramani (78) in Sindhi Colony. The police, who had no leads, by chance got the mobile phone number of her domestic help Manjunath, and found that he had made several calls to a number in Muddenahalli in Arkalagud taluk of Hassan district. A police team that went to Muddenahalli gathered information about Manjunath and arrested him at Saligrama in K.R. Nagar taluk.
Even in the sensational case of software engineer Girish, who was killed near the viewpoint on Koramangala Ring Road, certain SMSs that were sent to the "hired killers" from his fiancée's mobile phone, provided vitals leads which led to the arrest of the accused.
If the police were able to catch a software engineer, who a few years ago had made an anonymous call that bombs had been planted at the office of the IT major Wipro on Mahatma Gandhi Road, it was because of a mobile phone.
The engineer had called the mobile phone of a Wipro executive and had told him that bombs were planted in the IT firm. The telephone number of a coin-operated booth, from which the hoax call was made, was displayed on the executive's mobile phone. The police promptly traced and arrested the engineer.

Well I'll ignore that and stick with what u said after that,
Well in the original post you referred to the 480GTX, so that is what I answered to in that post. 480GTX performs a little better than 5870. Therefore I expect that 480GTX SLI to perform a 2*(a little bit better) than 5870 Crossfire or 5970. But that doesn't change the fact that there is a theoretical maximum of SLI/CF configs being 100% faster than a single card, and in practice it's more like 80% on mature drivers on average. Right now 480GTX SLI doesn't scale like that because it is beaten by 5850CF and 5970 when it should win every single time because one 480GTX beats everything else in the single-gpu department.
So you see, it doesn't really change my original opinion, that 480GTX base performance over 5970 (which I don't expect to change very much) isn't significant enough to justify the power drainage, temperatur and price and SLI isn't going to change that even when they optimize it to run as it should for a dual GPU solution
However I do see a big potential for the Fermi technology in terms of revisions and further development, and I am excited about the tesselation performance, so as mentioned I will be following Fermi refreshes with great interest
Then again it remains to be seen what ATi's next move is. They have certainly had the time to prepare for Fermi and they've been in a comfortable position for a while.

Is Mountain Lion worth it?
Hello Macrumors Members,
I have noticed that alot of you have purchased Mountain Lion(ML). Would you say its worth it. I have been using Lion since it released and very unhappy with the OS. I would rather not make that mistake twice.
|Aug 6, 2012, 06:00 PM
I am using ML and have found it to be very stable and a nice upgrade
For the cost, you can't go wrong with the new features and enhanced performance
|Aug 6, 2012, 06:13 PM
i would recommend you do a clean install just in case any Lion garbage is left behind.
|Aug 6, 2012, 06:22 PM
Installed on 2007 MacBook pro, 2011 MacBook pro and 2009 mac pro. Have reverted back to Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion much slower, better than Lion admittedly ,but the whole iOS thing is a little too much for me, just seems a bit toy like i'm afraid. Boot time on i7 MacBook pro went from 24 secs to just over a minute, the whole experience over the last week or so has been disappointing. Just my opinion/experience. Going to keep an install on a spare disk to monitor how things progress....but not convinced at all.
|Aug 6, 2012, 06:30 PM
I've upgraded my late 2011 MPB and have been pleased so far. I've got an early 2011 MPB, a 2011 iMac and a 2008 MPB waiting for the upgrade but I'm going to testdrive this initial install first.

ML Perspective
Not to act like I know it all, but I thought sharing my experience here might help a bit.
I've upgraded for Lion to ML on both my 2008 Duo-Core iMac and my 2010 white MacBook - not fresh install, but upgrade. My impressions:
1. It's generally much more stable and faster than Lion; SL was the best but, ML is a pretty darn good incremental upgrade over Lion.
2. My boot-up times dropped dramatically when I booted up without being signed into iCloud.
3. Post-upgrade operating speed noticeably increased after clean my caches and repairing my permissions in ML.
4. Safari is a mess. Go with Firefox or Chrome.
5. If you're a Dropbox user, upgrade Dropbox before upgrading to ML. Ditto with your VM if you do that sort of thing (note that Oracle's VirtualBox does not have a version that will run well on ML, according to Oracle).
6. If you're a Dropbox user, signing out of iCloud will also improve performance. If you absolutely must use iCloud with Dropbox, sign out of iClound and sign back in to mitigate performance issues (but your boot-up time will continue to lag while signed into iCloud).
7. iMessage is very limited in who you can text with...really nothing special here yet.
8. I've had great luck with Dictation! Takes a bit to get the hang of it, but it's great once you do.
So, the upshot...am I glad I spent the $20 for the upgrade? Absolutely! While ML does not live up to the hype (and, really, does anything live up to the hype?), my experience has been that it's a great upgrade from Lion in terms of stability and speed. That alone makes it worth the price.
As always, your mileage may vary. But this is my two cents. Hope it helps!
|Aug 6, 2012, 09:52 PM
I upgrade for the Airplay mirroring.
Being honest, I cant see much benefit for myself over Lion apart from that.
It was pretty seamless though, I upgraded 5 machines (including 1 mini server) without much of an issue (apart from my QNap needing a firmware update for time machine backups).
And if it wasn't for the notification centre popups it would be hard to tell the difference in day to day activities.
|Aug 7, 2012, 07:57 AM
Sound positive
From what most people are saying ML upgrade has been a positive one. I have bought it and have it download and put on a stick. I guess i will install it tonight on my Laptop and see how it goes. If i like it I will put it on my iMac.
Thanks for your opinions
|Aug 7, 2012, 08:15 AM
Only $20. The notification syncing and new dock justifies it for me (I like shiny). Mine has been running very smoothly and I feel some snappierness here and there. Especially when logging in/booting my MBP. I did an upgrade install and have no regrets.
Nothing has "broken" for me in ML, so I can say it's a good upgrade for me.
|Aug 7, 2012, 09:19 AM
Is it the Activity Monitor being removed that drove you away? It's not like it's that hard to download an FLV without it...
|Aug 7, 2012, 09:21 AM
Personally love it over Mountain Lion. It's worth the $20. I just can't wait for the software updates though - like Facebook Integration and all that extra goody stuff.
|Aug 7, 2012, 09:31 AM
I have a Mac Mini I purchased new in early 2012 (I guess it's a mid-2011 model?). Lion's performance was in a word, terrible. Launchpad, Mission Control, swapping full-screen apps... video performance was often the pits.
In ML, the UI is much smoother. It feels like the way it should be.
|Aug 7, 2012, 09:41 AM
I don't really notice any difference from Lion - aside from the notifications. Everything runs the same - very fast - on my MBA laptops. I use iMessage which I didn't have before I guess, but it's not a killer item to me. Airplay mirroring is meh, flash/silverlight/web videos don't play over it very well and any other video could have been sent to the Apple TV using iTunes as before.
I received it as part of my developer account. Had I not had the developer account, I would have bought it to be on the latest version and wouldn't have worried too much about the lack of differences as $20 isn't much.
It certainly is a minor update - in my opinion.
|Aug 7, 2012, 09:45 AM
I have this nagging feeling that Apple deliberately, allowed Lion to be buggy and annoying.
Then shortly thereafter they release Mountain Lion with just enough improvements to draw the responses you're getting. By luring people in with Lion and yet making it fairly miserable, they knew that the relief brought my Mountain Lion would be more than enough to pull people deep into the web of the new iOS/OS X blend of operating systems.
As Apple continues towards full convergence, the money saved by having just one OS, designed to pull iToyz users into new Macs... will be a significant savings in the number of developers and engineers required to build out a single OS.
Many publications and web sites, have talked about how much more like iOS Mountain Lion is. Revealing that Apple is well on their way to bringing the mobile experience to newbies, selling them "cool "computers" that look and function via "apps" just like an iPhone or iPad.
Dumbing down the Mac... such a dreadful thought.

Never been a Chrome user, always Safari, with an install of Firefox in case I needed it for some reason.
But I did read how Chrome I think reduces tabs for known sites to icons, shrinking the tab size for stuff like Gmail, NY Times, etc. I think that would definitely be a welcome addition to Safari.
I upgraded on my 2012 Air but held off on my 2011 iMac. Wanted to see stability and app compatibility. However, I did notice a couple days ago a strange flickering issue when scrolling in Safari in ML on my Air. A reboot did not solve it. But it was with one particular site and I have not done any research or tests to see if this is a known issue or if it even happened on any other sites. Actually come to think of it, some of the flickering wasn't even during scrolling.
I know this because Tyler knows this.
You are not a beautiful snowflake. You are the same decaying matter as everything else.
|Aug 7, 2012, 10:00 AM
I installed it on my 2009 Macbook, upgrading from Lion. I'm not a power user and some features may not apply to me since I don't have a new machine, but for me it works fine. Very few "gotta have it" features for me, but in general I like to have current software even if its just for under the hood improvements and security fixes. ML is an enhancement to Lion. In the Windows world you might refer to that as a service pack, but for only $20 it met met my expectations.

I have a Spring 2011 MBP running Snow Leopard. Is a clean install recommended versus a simple upgrade with this scenario? If a clean install is recommended, how would an "advanced" novice best go about this?
|Aug 7, 2012, 10:48 AM
Apple has now gone through multiple versions of OS X and iOS side by side, spending lots of resources keeping them both distinct.
If your theory is "cost savings" they're sure doing a really horrible job at it. Is that your argument? That they're trying to save money and just really, really ****** it up?
|Aug 7, 2012, 10:56 AM
I you are running Lion I guess it is worth it.
From Snow Leopard not really.
I am one step away from going back because there is so much annoying half backed stuff in there it is annoying. It is not exactly a speed up either on a 2010MBP. Some stuff looks more fluid but overall it is just equally fast or even slower and some stuff is really choppy.
It is not worth 5 $ imo. I thought I get more out of iCloud. Shouldn't have done it.
|Aug 7, 2012, 01:56 PM
|Aug 7, 2012, 02:28 PM
2a) So far, again read the post.
3a) Wrong again, but at least you tried.
An Ultra Fast Mac Is...My Favorite
|Aug 7, 2012, 02:41 PM
They are designed to stir up controversy, negativity and generate hits
And using terms like iToyz, well, I can't take you seriously
Lion was not buggy for me at all, and was a good experience for most of the users
Yes, there were some vocal detractors on this and other forums, but that is to be expected as always
OS X and iOS are not converging into one OS
They share some commonalities, yes, and IMO it is not a bad thing to bring some consistency
But we are a long way from seeing any convergence of the two
|Aug 7, 2012, 03:01 PM
I don't plan on upgrading until the software I want requires it. To be honest, regardless of the low cost I was surprised at how little the new OS brings in terms of features/enhancements. I could care less about icloud, imessage or the notification center, so that leaves me with...what ...light performance improvements? No thanks I'll pass.
|Aug 7, 2012, 03:13 PM
Depends on whether you'll use the new features I guess. I use the new Notes and Reminder apps all the time so that alone makes it feel worth it for me. But it's also handy being able to send things to Twitter and eventually Facebook from any app. Voice dictation is also fun, although I haven't found a real use for it just yet. It's also faster and smoother than Lion, so yeah I'd say its worth upgrading.

BHB7 vs BHBR vs Spiky Shark comparison

After a fair amount of time I have decided that the SS is not for me..Unbelievable spin BUT stiff and, well just not as sweet as the other two.
Did a search last night and found the lengthy and spectacular playtest on the BHB7 lots of comparisons to the BHBR. Crazy about both and with about 15 hours on each would draw the same conclusions. The BHB7 lasts a little longer but the BHBR is still awesome.
I think I mentioned that I strung them all at 59 or 60. Love the control that this gives and the power is perfect.
I think Torres plays with the BHBR at about 54 or 55 and I may try both at that and see how they perform.
I've had problems with TE but these are both very comfortable and soft to me.

One person has been seriously injured after a car left the
road and crashed on train tracks south of Auckland this
Police northern communications shift inspector Tony Edwards
said emergency services were called at 7.25pm to the crash in
Glenbrook, near Waiuku.
"One person was trapped in the vehicle. One car has left the
road and crashed into the tracks," he said.
The person was seriously injured and flown to Middlemore
Hospital by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, Mr Edwards said.
The police serious crash unit are investigating the incident.
Neighbours heard the ute go over the bridge and rushed to the
male driver, who was alone in the vehicle.
"We heard it happened, it went over with a heck of a bang,"
said a neighbour who did not want to be named. "He went over
the bridge next to the train lines."
She said the drop was as high as a house and the man's car
was extensively damaged, and landed 1.5m from the train line.
The woman's husband rushed to the man while she called 111.
"He was alive, but pretty dopey. They had to cut the roof off
and the door off to get him out."
St John ambulance and Westpac Rescue Helicopter were at the
scene until 8.30pm.
Train authorities had been notified.

Last May a police officer hit a new low when he intentionally hit an Australian shepherd mix named Freckles with his car to stop him from approaching a group of children. He claimed he thought Freckles would harm them, but Freckles' owner, Sarah Hecht, maintains that he was not dangerous and that he could have been stopped without using deadly force.
"I have no doubt my dog would still be alive if the officer had on iota of training on dog behavior and dog psychology," Hecht, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "There was no reason for deadly force."
In response to the incident with Freckles and many others that could have been avoided, Nevada Senator David Parks is planning on introducing legislation that will require police officers to complete training on how to deal with dogs without using deadly force, and he's getting support from local animal lovers.
According to KTNV Channel 13 Action News, deadly force has been used against 18 dogs in the past three years with four fatalities last year and another six incidents with three deaths as of this September. One incident involved police shooting a dog named Bubba who was in his own yard, which was next to a home police were investigating.
Bill Cassell, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police Department called the number "statistically miniscule." Though it might be, the incidents themselves are serious tragedies for those involved, and to call them a drop in a bucket is seriously offensive.
Gina Greisen, the leader of Nevada Voters for Animals, believes that each of them could have been prevented had police officers been provided with training. She plans to make the bill a campaign issue during the Clark County sheriff's election next year.
Unfortunately, this issue isn't confined to any one area. This week dog owners in Commerce City, Colo., marked the anniversary of the shooting death of Chloe. The horrifically inexcusable incident involving her death was caught on videotape by a neighbor and clearly demonstrates the need for more education. Following her death, Colorado took action and enacted the Dog Protection Act, which requires officers to undergo training that covers canine behavior and ways to deal with dogs that don't involve lethal force.
According to the Review-Journal, Parks will be looking at Colorado's law and what other states are doing as the legislation is drafted. He also noted that if animal control officers, U.S. Postal Service and private package carriers can handle dogs without killing them, that police should be able to do the same.
Others are also working to bring this issue into the national spotlight, hoping that attention will lead to better training for officers and fewer deaths. Directors Michael Ozias and Patrick Reasonover have set out to tell the stories of those who have been affected by these incidents, along with exploring their battles for justice, in a documentary called Puppycide.

Cops think they are above the law, but it's past time they stop killing innocent animals, because they can! Their abuse of power makes me wonder if they're in the right job! Something needs to be done! I was being taken to the hospital due to a bad fall! EMTs called police who came to get the dogs and put them in a kennel! I told him if he touched my dogs, I would refuse to go to the hospital! I advised that my family cares for them in my absence! These are Chihuahuas, so why call Police! I don't trust them and I was so upset the policeman left my home and my dogs alone! No one touches my dogs! They are my life and I will do anything to protect them!
"Statistically miniscule", oh OK then it's really not that big a deal.
Let me ask you Bill Cassell, if only one cop was killed in the line of duty would that be considered "statistically miniscule"-I mean after all it's just one cop out of an entire police force, right?
This killing of innocent and harmless dogs by law enforcement has reached epidemic proportions yet remains unaddressed. I salute Senator Park's efforts.
Good comments - -
I think in some cases the cop just doesn't like dogs, period. Things have to change. No more helpless dogs should be shot or ran over by an uncaring cop.
Save a dog shoot a cop ----- LOL ----- sorry !!!
Hope the law passes. This violence has o stop!
If a cop shot my animal, on my property, I would shoot at him, and be justified because under the law, I am allowed to protect my "Property"!
Mandy h is so right- most dogs will respond to bad dog, go home, sit, or even "here's a good dog, go chase the stick" and throw something away from you that will distract the dog. No one is talking a bout cops defending themselves from dogs lunging at their throats. All of these cases were dogs minding their own business in their own yards and then barking at the police, or the one dog that was run over was just approaching a group of kids- not attacking them...
