September horoscope for Aries (March 12 – April 19)
You have a wonderful opportunity to elevate your well-being on the 5th. The New Moon influences your House of Health, so kick off a new fitness or diet routine.
When the 9th rolls around, you'll want to work out some relationship kinks. Being yourself while honoring your deep commitment to someone else is possible – it just takes some effort. Talk things out with your partner or friend.
Your planetary guide, active Mars, forms a tense square (90-degree angle) with the fated Nodes on the 10th, giving you glimpses of creative steps you can take to bolster your finances. On the 14th, express who you are in a unique way and you'll get plenty of applause and accolades.
Taking some down time during the Full Moon on the 19th may increase your productivity, helping you center yourself and find your way out of a tricky situation.

On the 8th, communicative Mercury, your ruling planet, moves into your House of Finances. Schedule an appointment with your money advisor or research investment opportunities.

But those warm, fuzzy feelings may not last, as the Full Moon on the 19th illuminates tension in your relationship springing from projection and passive-aggressive behavior. On a more positive note, this is a good day for creative or altruistic activities. Enjoy a musical performance or lend someone a helping hand.

As love planet Venus enters your sign on the 10th, your charm is contagious. Everyone wants to be around you.

If you feel you haven't been getting the recognition you deserve, the Full Moon on the 19th triggers an emotional minefield. Everything seems more intense on the 20th, when Pluto stations direct.

September horoscope for Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
On the 5th, the New Moon highlights your House of Career, and it's time to take on the additional responsibilities that have recently crossed your radar screen. Set your intentions for what you want to achieve in the next year.
You're filled with radiance and vitality on the 7th, when your planetary guide, visionary Jupiter, connects sweetly with the Sun. Obstacles may magically seem to disappear. Mark the 9th as a day to connect with friends. The 11th and 12th are your power days; you're optimistic and filled with excitement about an adventure. On the 18th, you're able to get deeply in touch with your feelings.
The 19th is a tricky day: The Full Moon illuminates areas of your home life that you've been neglecting, perhaps because you've been extra busy at work or school. And with Jupiter making a tense connection to messenger Mercury, conversations related to a joint project leave you feeling disappointed. Take what people say with a grain of salt, as they're likely to make promises they can't keep.
You discover hidden resources on the 20th, when Pluto stations direct in your House of Finances. As you find a well of self-confidence, you'll realize how valuable your unique skills really are.

September horoscope for Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
The New Moon on the 5th has you rethinking your goals and visions. Meanwhile, travel opportunities may come your way.
On the 9th, you're filled with ideas for a project. With your planetary ruler, structured Saturn, in a tense alignment with assertive Mars, the trick is to take things slowly. Work on bolstering the foundation of your creation before letting others review it.
Hanging out with others feels especially rewarding on the 10th; invite your friends to the local café or pub for an informal gathering. If you've been feeling that someone is stifling your self-expression, related tension will arise on the 15th.
On the 18th, Saturn unites with romantic Venus your House of Intimacy. Look for something important to manifest in a significant relationship, and take responsibility for your part in any problems. Getting back to basics on the 19th helps relieve tension. Instead of looking at a situation from a wide perspective, zero in on the essential components.
As probing Pluto stations direct in your sign on the 20th, themes of control and power color the day. You can discover something really new and important about yourself. The Sun enters Libra on the 22nd, ushering in a four-week period of being highly focused on your career. On the 29th, you feel extra-appreciative of how technology can increase your efficiency.
September horoscope for Aquarius (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
On the 3rd, it may seem as if everyone around you is in a cranky mood. Give people the space they need and don't take their tempers personally.
The New Moon on the 5th brings a new chapter in a serious relationship. You'll find yourself wanting to take things to a whole new level – or seriously dial back your commitment. You're better able to detail your goals and visions on the 9th, when thoughts of travel also captivate your imagination.
There's a sense of camaraderie at work on the 10th; the time you've put into fostering relationships with your colleagues and clients pays off. On the 14th, you make great progress on a project, and help you weren't anticipating comes your way.
Your planetary guide, innovative Uranus, opposes messenger Mercury on the 15th, giving rise to unexpected conversations. Dialogues may seem haphazard and unfocused, but you can still glean some brilliant nuggets of insight.
The Full Moon on the 19th has you focused on fiscal matters. You appreciate the financial help someone's given you, but now you're feeling the need to take back control. As probing Pluto stations direct on the 20th, you connect to a well of buried feelings. Schedule some alone time to help you gain clarity. The Sun enters Libra on the 22nd, ushering in a four-week period in which you focus on bringing more adventure into your life. On the 29th, you're filled with ideas about new responsibilities you want to take on.
September horoscope for Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
You discover new elements of relationships on the 5th, when the New Moon is in your House of Partnerships. On the 9th, you gain insight about how to attain a deeper level of commitment. International cultures pique your interest on the 10th. Check out a foreign movie or an ethnic restaurant you've always wanted to try.
Conversations seem especially vague on the 11th. If you're not quite sure what someone is trying to say, ask for more information.
Love is in the air on the 13th, as your planetary guide, poetic Neptune, harmonizes with gracious Venus. People seem especially sweet and supportive; there's a sense of magic in the air.
If you feel you've been accommodating someone at your own expense, you'll be especially inclined to say "no" during the Full Moon on the 19th. Previously hidden aspects of a group project reveal themselves on the 20th, when probing Pluto stations direct. That's also a great day to look deeply into your heart and discover your greatest hopes in life.
The Sun enters Libra on the 22nd, ushering in a four-week period when you'll want to uncover hidden mysteries. Watch your boundaries on the 25th; you may need to prevent others from taking advantage of you. Don't believe everything you hear on the 28th. The travel bug comes to visit on the 29th. Start looking into destinations for your next trip.

Bicyclist pleads not guilty
By Julie Caine
Chris Bucchere, the bicyclist charged in the death of 71-year-old pedestrian Sutchi Hui, pled not guilty today to charges of felony vehicular manslaughter.
Bucchere made no comment after appearing in front of a San Francisco judge this afternoon. However, Bucchere's attorney handed out the following statement to members of the media gathered outside of the courtroom: "Chris anticipates the day when he may express his deepest condolences to the Hui family for their tragic loss. But for now, while the case is ongoing, he will continue to cooperate with the authorities and to respond responsibly to the charges in court."
Bucchere's next court appearance is scheduled for July 27.

NASCAR America: XFINITY Series to replace Nationwide Series in 2015
Sep 3, 2014, 6:55 PM EDT
On Wednesday's edition of NASCAR America, we discussed the announcement that Comcast's XFINITY brand will become the entitlement sponsor of what is now the Nationwide Series beginning in 2015. XFINITY becomes only the third title rights holder in series history in a deal that will run for 10 years, through 2024.

I hope folks vote with their wallet concerning Comcast/Infinity and CRASHCAR. IME Comcast is a very unscrupulous company with horrible service. This is due to industry monopolies and it's bad for all consumers.
How many Comcast customers know that Comcast is blocking much of the legitimate international e-mail sent to folks or businesses in the U.S. ? Comcast has a software program that blocks all e-mail from certain ISPs around the world, even though these are often the largest ISPs in a country be it in Europe, Australia, etc. This illegal e-mail blockage that few Comcast customers even know about started in the Fall of 2013 without any announcement to customers.
I personally have requested that the Federal Trade Commission and the State AG file a cease and desist order to stop this illegal blocking of international e-mail for U.S. Comcast customers. If you have the desire to communicate with friends, family or businesses outside the U.S. for travel, etc. you should also contact the FTC and your state AG's office to demand a cease and desist order against Comcast for the illegal blocking of legitimate international e-mail that you are paying for.

By Juan Carlos Castillo: The idea of having a tournament this year featuring one of the most competitive division of the higher weight classes is something that will help casual and hardcore boxing fans to raise their expectations in clashes that promises fireworks and also to exploit talents coming from very good fighters.
The first fight of the Tournament features former WBC Middleweight Champion Jermain Taylor (28-3, 17 KO's) against undefeated and former IBF Middleweight Champion King Arthur Abraham (30-0, 24KO's). On one hand, we have Taylor, a fighter with very good boxing skills, a pretty good jab, and a fighter to knows how to keep distance from his opponent, that, until he runs out of gas in the late rounds. That's the biggest problem in Taylor's arsenal, despite his not so good defense as he takes a lot of good shots evidenced in the Pavlik fights, and also in his last one against WBC Champion Carl Froch..
On the other hand, King Arthur Abraham, is well-known for his tight defense, big punching power and also, his good stamina. While Abraham is a slow started that's not a big problem, when you face a fighter who needs to distribute his energy in order to keep his stamina for the tlweve rounds. Taylor has fought better opposition than Abraham in the names of Bernard Hopkins, Ronald Wright and Kelly Pavlik, but he has suffered from stamina problems in Kelly Pavlik first encounter and recently on the Carl Froch's. Abraham fought against a good fighter in Colombian Edison Miranda the first time, a dirty fight in which, had Miranda not lost the amount of points he did, he could have won the fight. What he did on that fight was to press the action from the beginning, show a lot of movement over the ring and throw big amount of punches.
That said, Taylor is not a pressure fighter and does not moves around the ring that much. He keeps the distance away from his opponent with his pretty good jab but he tends to get caught in the ropes, therefore taking a sustained attack which is his downfall. For this fight, the pressure is most likely on Taylor, having lost three of his last four fights, and as stated before, showing his stamina problem. If Taylor is able to work his stamina problem he'll prevail the full twelve rounds, but will be under heavy pressure against the King Arhur Abraham.
I believe Taylor will come to the fight, with a strategy of throwing 30-40 jabs trying to stay away from Abraham, with Abraham keeping his hands up looking to attack the body of Taylor which will have an effect on the later rounds. I expect the fight to be a high-level tactical match-up with a flash knockdown being the difference in the fight. I'm picking up Abraham to win a close decision in a technical fight.

Not only is this an intimate fantasy of one of our viewers its also the first time 'straight' Stefan has fucked a man. The lucky guy on the receiving end of that thick, hard cock was Andrea who obviously enjoyed every minute of it. The two lads are smart for town but Andrea has a trick up his sleeve - a pair of handcuffs. Stefan doesn't mind being restrained, and though he's straight he can't stop himself getting a hard on from Andrea's hot, expert lips. But when Andrea...

It is neither mantra nor tantra but the inclusive approach has done wonders for patients at TAG-VHS.
A talk with Dr. C.V. Krishnaswamy puts things in the right perspective. "Does any text book of modern medicine have a chapter on Health, per se?" He follows up with the answer, an emphatic 'no.' "Anatomy, diseases, etc., but not wellbeing as such. I'd define health as a state in which the person can tackle life with energy and enthusiasm, whatever the ailments he/she may have."
The septuagenarian, who is in the 48th year of his career, asserts in all humility that modern medicine has its limitations, a fact not many fellow practitioners might concede. "I'm 76 and retired, virtually. My aim is to work for the relief of patients avoiding over-investigation and overtreatment. Never mind if the means does not fall in line with my chosen stream. The end should bring happiness to the sufferer." Dr. CVK's search has led him on the innovative path of healing that combines three methods, one of them being Ayurveda.
Dr. CVK is convinced that Ayurveda has the right answers to health issues and cites examples, with video footage.
Part of Veda
"Ayurveda is a part of Atharvana Veda. Precious material on the subject was lost when temples that had inscriptions were destroyed during the Mughal invasion. Paramacharya wanted the translation of whatever was left to reach the common man," says Dr. CVK, who refers his patients to Dr. Girija. Incidentally, the inside cover of 'Jeevani' has a close-up of the inscriptions at the Tirumukkoodal temple in Kanchipuram.
"Diabetes-related conditions, especially neuralgia, respond very well to Dr. Girija's prescriptions. Modern drugs do not address the excruciating pain when the nerve, the facial one in particular, is affected. Such cases have found happy relief at Sanjeevani. Amputations have been avoided.
"In fact, the patient's dependence on insulin is minimised and the quality of life improves. I believe in minimal drugging and when I found Ayurveda offering an ideal solution, I grabbed it. Longevity has no meaning when the person is weighed down by drugs and their side effects," elaborates Dr. CVK, to whom the sastra, however, was not new.
"I was a keen follower of Prof. Viswanatha Sarma, former principal of Venkatramana Ayurveda College, and Dr. Girija's mentor. When a Cambridge-based physicist told me of the relief Dr. Girija was bringing to people afflicted with multiple sclerosis, my interest was kindled and I decided to tie-up with 'Sanjeevani.' The initiative has benefited hundreds of people."
Dr. CVK's principle – Innovative Human Healing Sans Barriers and Boundaries – is the bedrock of Tag-VHS Diabetic Research Centre (44-22541921, 1922, a unit of VHS), founded in 2011. Ayurveda, modern medical science, energy-medicine (pulsed electro-magnetic field energy, PEMFE) and metaphysical therapy all come together to cure patients. Comatose state has been reversed, palsy has been cured with patients walking back home to resume their duties. Parkinson's disease need not spell doom.
Every case is digitally documented at this paperless hospital.
The patient-record systems and all hospital operations, including accounts and finance are preserved in a high-security electronic network. Prof. B.M. Hegde, renowned cardiologist and former vice-chancellor of Manipal University, whom Dr. CVK calls a pioneer, is closely associated with this project.
Dr. CVK singles out Dr. Girija's passion for Ayurveda as her strength. "She has absolute faith in the science, faith that she will not compromise, and has proved that the holistic healing the sastra offers is the best."
Energy healing is enshrined in Atharvana Veda and therapist Rajan Iyer administers Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy.
Biomagnetic pulsar is a device that relieves pain and inflammation, encourages cell survival and hastens healing process sans drugs and surgery.
Dr. Krishnaswamy will offer his felicitations at the book release function tomorrow. Dr. P.R. Krishnakumar, Arya Vaidya Pharmacy, Coimbatore, will preside. Sheela Rani Chunkath, Additional Chief Secretary, CMD, THDC, will release the book and hand over the first copy to Dr. Santosh Babu, Commissioner, Indian Medicine and Homeopathy. Dr. Krishnakumar will give the presidential address and honour Prof. K.S. Viswanatha Sarma and Prof. K.V. Seshadrinatha Sastri, former principal, Sanskrit College, Chennai.

Eggwash Ingredients:
1 Egg (Egg whites only)
1 tblsp. Cold water
A sauce brush
~ See below for VERY detailed recipe instructions...
This is Country Style Italian bread. (also referred to as Rustic Italian Bread) It's a more hearty bread then regular Italian bread. Wonderful texture on the inside and a nice crusty crust! The key to good Country Style Italian Bread is lots of kneading. In the case of this recipe, 25 minutes of hand kneading. You may say, wait a minute... Can't I just get one of those bread machines that do all the kneading for you? That's fine, but will never give you results as good as you will get from hand kneading!!! Trust me, the taste is so much better when it's all done by hand. That said, if your willing to work hard, please read on and EnJoY!
Important note I found out the hard way:
Two things you need to remember.
1.) Salt and Yeast = very unhappy yeast. 2.) Sugar and Yeast = very happy Yeast!
* If you mix the salt in with the yeast too early, you will end up with flat bread.
Pour hot water into a large bowl. The water needs to be between 110 - 115 degrees F. It's very important to make sure this temperature is right. To be sure, you need to have a bakery thermometer like this one here.
Add (2) tsp. of sugar to the hot water and (1) tsp. of honey and mix well until the sugar and honey is completely dissolved in with the water. Then sprinkle (2) packages of Yeast (or 4-1/2 tsp. Yeast from a jar) into the hot water and mix with a fork until the Yeast and water become a creamy brown. Let sit for 2 minutes.
Add 2 cups of bread flour and mix very well with a fork. Let this sit for about 2 minutes. Then mix some more and add 1 tbsp. of salt, mix well.
Then add 4-1/2 cups of all purpose non-bleached flour, adding in 1 cup at a time while your mixing. You will start mixing with a fork and then start using your hands to mix as the dough gets dryer and stiffer. Pour the dough out onto a lightly floured board, form into a tight ball and cover with a towel. Let rest for 15 minutes.
Now comes the important part and real secret to good Italian Bread Recipe! Kneading by hand! You will need the dough for 25 minutes. This is going to be very hard work. You will probably break a sweat by the time your done. I do every time I make the bread. I start out with traditional kneading and then switch to a more unconventional kneading that I learned from Richard Bertinet in his wonderful book simply called "Dough". I highly recommend it! This slightly different method of kneading dough really makes a big difference in regards to getting a more hardy country style bread. So you will knead the dough for 15 - 25 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. You will use another 3/4 - 1 cup of flour during the kneading process. You will use this extra flour as you need it during the kneading as the dough gets too sticky to work with. After about 15 minutes of kneading, pour a little olive oil in the palm of your hand, maybe about 1/2 tsp., then spread it over the dough and knead some more working in the olive oil. I do this about 4 times, probably totaling about 2 tsps. of olive oil. Depends on the texture, it's a little different each time. I pour olive oil in the palm of my hand, work in the oil kneading for a while and then add a little more, knead, a little more and knead until the texture of the dough starts to feel more elastic. Then I knead for another 10 minutes or so after the last addition of olive oil. The last 5-10 minutes of kneading, you should not add any more flour. The final time on the kneading and the amount of extra flour you use will depend on the temperature and humidity of the room your war working in.
The only way I could properly show you how this is done is to show you how I knead this dough with video. The videos I have below will show you exactly how I knead this dough. This really is the most important part of the process. That and being patient to let the bread rise. Be patient, all the rising will seem like a lot of waiting, but it's very important to not make any short cuts with your dough!
How To Make Italian Bread Video
(Instructional video for Italian Bread Recipe - Detailed steps to making the Italian Bread Dough by Hand)
Another Italian Bread Video :-)
I made this video to cover some important steps not shown in the video above. Go make some bread!
Proofing The Dough
This is what I do after the first rise. A very important step!
(First dough rising - Fermenting) OK, after you have kneaded the dough for 20 - 25 minutes, you will need to let it rise in a nice warm moist place for 1 to 1-1/2 hours. It's really not a matter of time with rising because of humidity and temperature differences, it's more from look and feel. The dough should be nice and puffy after it rises. You are really only shooting for the dough to rise about twice it's original size, don't let the dough over rise. Check out this page called "How long should my bread rise?" for some good tips on this. When you have finished kneading the dough and you have got it to a point where it is smooth and elastic, you will want to place it in a bowl that you just rubbed down with olive oil. Form the dough into a tight ball. To get the dough in a tight ball you want to keep working with the dough, pushing the dough down to the bottom of the dough ball and up underneath, repeating this until you get a tight ball. You will have to watch the videos above to get a good idea of this.
Place the ball of dough into the bowl upside down and roll it around a bit so you get some oil on the top of the dough. Flip it back over and set in the middle of the bowl. Cover with a damp towel.
What I recommend for the perfect dough rising condition is your oven. What you will need to do is get a baking pan and place it in the bottom rack of your oven. Then fill it up with boiling water so you get a lot of nice steam in the oven. Quickly place your bowl of dough in the oven and shut the door. The baking pan of boiling water will add warmth and moisture to the inside of the oven which will be a perfect environment for your dough to happily rise.
Now at this point you need to relax a bit and clean up your kitchen and just wait for the dough to rise. There is no shortcut. You cannot rush this part. Just let it rise.
OK, after 1 to 1-1/2 hours or so, your dough should have at least doubled in size, don't let it rise too much. Now take it out of the oven and punch it down. You will want to literally punch the center of the dough. You will immediately see the dough fall to a much small amount of dough. The Yeast was busy making a lot of gas bubbles which fluffs up the dough.
After punching down the dough, get a spatula and scrape the side of the dough away from the edge of the bowl to let the dough fall down even more.
(Second dough rising - Proofing) Punch the dough a few more times in different places, you want to get all the air out of the dough at this point. Briefly work with the dough getting it into a ball again. Rub olive oil on the inside of your bowl again. Place the dough ball back in the center of the bowl. Cover the bowl with a warm damp cloth. Pour out the water you had in the baking pan that was in the oven and refill with boiling water again. Place the bowl back in the oven and let it rise for 1 more hour.... What??, I gotta let it rise again you say? What the heck is all this rising for anyway? This second rising will help create gluten. The protein in the flour is what forms the gluten and the gluten is what makes the dough elasticity. This allows the dough to stretch and hold the gas that the yeast gives off. You can read more about Gluten here, interesting stuff!
Now take the dough and pour it out of the bowl onto a lightly floured board. Divide in half. Sprinkle a little bit of flour on top of each section of dough and cover with a towel. Let rest for 10 minutes... Again with the waiting!!! It's all worth it, just be patient.
Now shape the dough into two tight balls and place them on a greased cookie sheets. Sprinkle the greased cookie sheets with a little bit of cornmeal. I use double wall insulated cookie sheets for this. They do a perfect job with baking and help prevent burning the bottoms of the bread.
With a very sharp knife, carefully cut 3 cuts 1/16" deep across the tops of the loaves. You really just need to score the dough. The cuts should be about 2" apart. When you have finished the cuts, sprinkle some cornmeal over the top of the dough balls.
Make an egg wash. To do this you will add to a bowl, (1) egg, using the egg whites only and mix with (1) Tbs. of water. Mix well with a fork. Brush the egg wash on the top and side of the dough balls. Try your best to thinly cover all the dough surface. Just brush the egg wash right over the cornmeal you just sprinkled on. Then sprinkle on some more cornmeal.
(Third dough rising) Place these dough balls back into the oven. This time the dough will be sitting right on the cookie sheets. You will need two cookie sheets with one dough ball on each sheet. Once again, remove the water from the baking pan and fill up with boiling water again to maintain the warm moist rising environment. Let rise for about 1 hour. Yes, it has to rise again!! This requires a LOT of patience with all the rising! But it's all very worth it! Trust me!
After the dough has risen one more time, you are finally ready to bake! YaY!!! It's about time! Geeesh! Now, take the cookie sheets with the dough balls on them out of the oven and be gentle! Carefully place them on a counter somewhere and preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. This time just leave the baking pan of water in the oven. The preheating will warm the water back up to keep the oven moist. After the oven has preheated, put the cookie sheets with dough back in the oven and cook for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, take the bread out, brush again with eggwash trying your best to cover all surfaces of the dough and then place back in the oven and cook for another 20 minutes.
Take the bread out and let cool on a cooling rack for 2 hours before cutting into. OK, well, this is nearly impossible, but it's what your supposed to do. However, in most cases I cut into the bread after 30 minutes because I just can't stand it! it smells so good you just have to dig in. if you try to slice the bread to soon, it can rip apart. If you let it cool properly, you can cut nice even slices. Just make sure you have a sharp serrated knife.
Let the bread sit out for about 24 hours before packaging. If you like a softer crust, you can package it in a large Ziploc bag, but if you like a crunchier crust (which I recommend) then you need to package the bread in paper bags. Paper bags allows the bread to breath a bit which will help maintain and nice crunchy crust!
...Honestly, I have to say, I have had a lot of Italian bread in my life and this is the absolute best Italian Bread I have ever had!!
I recommend having this on the side with Anthony's Pasta sauce, Meatballs and Braciole. Now that good eating! Great for dipping into the sauce!!!

Re: Will Hurricane Sandy Affect You?
Dave - That takes real balls to ride it out on the boat! Rain has stopped here, and forecasts for more rain have been really cut back to about 2" more. That's it. The wind is really howling past my house, but direction is parallel to my boat, so hopefully it won't blow off the stands. Direction will shift tomorrow to a little less favorable direction, but speed is forecast to be less than tonight.-takefive
No balls, just crazy, but you knew that. I also am helping out at the club. We are all owners here unlike a marina so we band together at ties like this. Clubhouse is open, we are watching everyone else's boats, making meals together, and of oourse partying . Government is closed anyway so I am off. Donna is a nurse so was home today and is working the next two. She was without electricity since 2 today, while I have my boats power and a nice hot shower. I have to tell you it was major being on the boat today.
Don't give up on ths storm yet, we are only half way through it. We still have the backside to go through yet which will take another 18 hours. We are in a little bit of a lull right now as the old eye of the storm is 20 miles north right now. Winds have dropped from 45 continuous with gusts to 68 to now 20 straight line with an occasional 30. Took the time to adjust lines and chafe gear. Forecast is for the tides to be 3-7 ft above normal on tomorrow's incoming high at 6:35. Winds will be 45 continuous with gusts to 70 from the SW then S. right at my stern.grrrrrr. Forecasting 5 inches more of rain as the is the wrap around rains come through. No time to relax yet. Sandys juggernaught production still has a second act left. My old home in Ocean City, NJ was destroyed today when Sandy came ashore.
Hope all are safe, your families are safe, and your boats come though it unscathed.

iPad 3 - screen seems dull
I have had my refurb ipad 3 for about a week now. So far I am mostly happy with it. The screen seems a little dull to me. Should I have to adjust the brightness to the max to make it acceptable? This is my first iPad therefore I am not sure the screen should be this way.
Any input would be appreciated.
|Nov 9, 2012, 08:04 PM
Are you used to the iphone 5 or ipod touch 5 screen by any chance?
I have the ipad 3 and then got the ipod touch 5 and noticed the ipad does seem less bright/less saturated (i guess you could say "dull") than the ipod.

That was one of the first thing I noticed about a retina display is that you have to turn the brightness up a tad bit more than on non-retina displays. It actually took a little getting use too at first, but of course the vivid colors and crisp text make it all worth it.
I am running an iPad Mini right now and though many have complained about the display... I think it works just great for the purpose in which I am using it.

One of the first things I did with my 3 was to turn off Auto Brightness and set it manually. You might try that and see if that helps.
|Nov 10, 2012, 02:23 AM
I found the iPad2 I tried to be too bright even on the lowest setting...I like the brightness on my iPad3 to be right above the "g" unless I'm in bright, direct sunlight.

Cheap panels usually have a bluish or cold tone which gives it a sort of "pop". Most people think that it's a good thing, and don't realise its very unnatural and that it causes eye strain when reading for long periods of time.
On the other hand, when people see a professionally calibrated monitor for the first time, the first thing they think of is that it looks dull or yellow or lacks the 'wow' factor. This is what happens when manufactures know that the bluish screens that give it a 'pop' sell better than more accurate 'yellow' screens.
The retina ipad screens often has extremely accurate representation (yes I know there is a lot of defective panels out there), so OP might just have a very good panel which takes time getting used to after looking at a thousand cold screens which look "white"
Having said that, I haven't seen his ipad, it's quite possible that's it's just not a very good screen.
|Nov 10, 2012, 04:29 AM
I have the opposite, my 3 has more "pop" / white to it than my 4 which is a bit duller / yellower in comparison. At full brightness the 3 is brighter than the 4. Though neither are remotely comparible to brightness and whiteness of the iPhone 5.
My wife and I were comparing photos on the two ipad screens the other night and both were falling in favour of the 3 as it looked more like what we expected / remembered the scene looking like. (My wife didn't actually know which screen was which). It seemed like the 3 pulled a little more detail out of the photos (one example was the back of an iPad 1 with some scratches and dents, they seemed clearer on the 3)
Whether that's more accurate, or the luck of the draw I don't know. The yellower is certainly a bit softer on the eyes though the contrast isn't as high.
Lots of gear since Jan 2007. Damn Them
|Nov 11, 2012, 08:20 AM
Thanks for the suggestions. I turned off Auto Brightness and increase the brightness. That does seem to help. Should I really have to almost put it a the max setting to get the brightness I need? Will this deplete the battery faster?
I think the screen is very clear. So far I don't seem to have some of the other issues I have read about concerning the screen.
I am thinking about going to the Apple Store or Best Buy to compare the screen on the 4. It should give me a good idea if my screen is "normal". My expectation concerning the screen may not have been reasonable.

Why would you compare the screen from the 4 with yours? Wouldn't you want to compare it to a non refurbished 3 instead? Just thinking up load here. IMO, the screen of the 3 is top notch in every aspect. Certainly not dull.

Also you should be fine to compare with ipad 4 panels, they are made to the exact same spec. Just beware that there is always some variation between different individual pannels.
In regards to brightness and battery drain, yes the brighter the screen is the quicker it will drain, and in a very big way. Maxing out the brightness you're reducing the running time by half (if not more) vs keeping it at about the half way point.
If you're finding you have to max out your brightness that that's not normal under normal conditions. I usually have brightness at around only 1/4 the way up under normal ambient lighting. Almost never more that half way unless I'm outside. Remember that you only need it as bright as you can read it without it being to dim, any brighter is causing you eye strain.

Have Group #2 discuss the white man in America and what they see as beautiful.

When photographing subjects like wildlife, birds, children, dancers, horses, and other fast-moving subjects, you must constantly watch them through the finder. As soon as you take your eyes away to look at something else, or to talk to a friend, you can lose the chance to get the best shot of the day.
The hippos you see here were photographed in Lake Manyara National Park in Tanzania just before sundown. When they exhibited their aggressive behavior by opening their mouths, it happened very quickly and the peak of the action lasted only fractions of a second. I kept my eyes glued to the viewfinder, not daring to look elsewhere in the hope of capturing something like this.

About Author / Instructor / Photographer, Jim Zuckerman
In 1970, I decided to abort my intended career as a doctor in favor of photography and have never regretted it. Photography has enriched my life more than I can tell you. My career has taken me to over 60 countries, and I've seen and photographed wondrous things.
For 25 years, I shot a medium format camera, specifically the Mamiya RZ 67, for its superior quality. When I would lecture, Id project the large, glass mounted transparencies, and it was really an incredible experience to see the brilliant color saturation and resolution of these slides. However, I went digital in 2004 because the technology finally equaled or surpassed medium format. I now shoot the Canon 1Ds Mark II digital camera with a variety of lenses.
I am the author of 12 books on photography. My work is sold in 30 countries around the world, and my images have appeared on scores of magazine and book covers, calendars, posters, national ads, trade ads, brochures, and corporate promotions.
For many years I've led photography tours to exotic places. These include Papua New Guinea, Thailand, Burma, Greece, The Czech Republic and Slovakia, Spain, Morocco, and Peru.

St. Benilde trips San Beda in NCAA women's volleyball
More News from Celest R. Flores
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — St. Benilde proved steady in the final stretch and outlasted a tough San Beda team with a 21-25, 27-25, 25-23, 25-23 triumph Friday in the 88th NCAA women's volleyball tournament at the Arena in San Juan City.
The Lady Blazers racked up three straight points in the fourth and final set after trailing 22-23 to clinch their fourth victory which put them a game ahead of the Lionesses.
St. Benilde is now in solo fifth with 4-2 card and their victory appeared to doom San Beda's bid for a spot in the final four with a 5-3 card.
Jannine Navarro tied for a team-best 16 hits — along with skipper Rossan Fajardo — including a crucial service ace which put St. Benilde at match point.
All of Fajardo's points, though, came from attacks, while Navarro and Maureen Veronas, who added 10 markers, scored on two services aces apiece.
The Lionesses' fifth setback spoiled Frances Molina's monster 31-point outing (25 hits, three blocks and three services aces).
After winning the first set, San Beda stayed within striking distance of St. Benilde throughout but just couldn't execute a finishing kick.
The Lionesses had 10-6 edge in service aces, but were doomed by a surplus of errors, which included the final point of the Lady Blazers.

I see the same issues coming up over and over again with BDD 2007. So, I decided it was time for my own Top Ten List!
Number 1. - Partitioning within the Unattend.xml
BDD likes (no needs) to look after partitioning itself! Do not do this via Unattend.xml. The most common symptom of this is the Task Sequence not restarting after the operating system has been installed.
Number 2. - XP disk partitioning
Affectionately know as the UBERBUG, this little baby causes some machines to blue screen when an XP image is applied to a machine that has been partitioned with Windows PE 2.0. For more information see my previous blog.
Number 3. - Trying to deploy images with WDS
This is a common misunderstanding about the relationship between BDD and WDS. Let me assure the relationship is not a close one, BDD is just using WDS! Simply put uses WDS as a mechanism to boot the Lite Touch WIM which connects to the BDD deployment point. Once this has happened it has nothing more to WDS, nothing! So my advice here is DO NOT try to load an image captured with BDD into WDS.
Number 4. - Failure to join the domain
Oh the joys of documentation, one little error and everyone has strife. The BDD configuration reference states that "MachineObjectOU=NewYork" , it's wrong! Instead it should say something like this "MachineObjectOU=OU=NewYork,DC=DammTypos,DC=com". So if for some reason your machine fails to join the domain then make sure you have specified the correct OU in the correct manner.
Number 5. - Drivers
Where do I start with this one? This could be a number of blogs on its own, maybe I could use this as a teaser to make you keep coming back and finding more useful information on my blog(did I say that out loud?). I will write a blog(s) on drivers soon.
Number 6. - Creating custom WIM image without using /flags
So you already have a Vista machine built up and you have decided that you want to manually image it . So you capture an image and try to import it into BDD but it won't work. Well the real lesson is you should have used BDD to create and capture the image then you wouldn't of had this problem in the first place. But if you really have no choice then remember to specify the correct flags for the Version of Vista you a capturing. Here is and example command line:
imagex /flags "Enterprise" /capture c: d:\image.wim "Custom Image"
And if you want to add a flag to an image you have already capture try this command line:
imagex /flags [flags value] /info mywim.wim [image index] [new name] [new description]
Number 7. - SQL connectivity
Having trouble connecting to your SQL database well take heed of these four simple rules, and your life will be simpler :
1. Make sure your BDD account has access to the database
2. Ensure that the "surface area" of SQL is opened up enough to allow connections
3. Use named pipes - it makes life easier as you cannot use integrated security with TCP/IP sockets
4. If you have an instance then be sure to specify it when connecting to the DB
Number 8. - Memory requirements for Vista PE
Do random things happen when you try to build some machines? Do you have 256Mb of memory? Well the problem you have is that Windows PE 2.0 can boot with only 256MB of memory but it cannot run. This means that when it tries to do stuff it freezes randomly, NICE! So when building machines make sure you have at least 512Mb of memory and everything will be rosy.
Number 9. - Not removing the MININT folder
Are you testing your build and nothing you do seems to have any effect. Usually this is caused by the fact that BDD is storing information from a previous build in the MININT folder. So commit this to command to memory, your gonna need it:
rd c:\minint /q/s
And while your at it you may as well remember this one:
rd c:\_SMSTaskSequence /q /s
Number 10. - Adding Windows PE to console
Are you trying to add your customized version of Windows PE to the console, yeah the one that you spent hours getting just right! Well its not going to work, the Windows PE source files need to be taken straight off the volume source CD. BDD will then combine this with the OS source files and create a version customized just for BDD.
There may be other common issues I have missed but I thought it is worth while getting these out there. Anyway one day I will create a Top Ten Returns list and I will need something to put in it!

When using BDD to deploy Vista, after copying the files to the location c:\Distribution\Operating Systems, BDD is returning an error stating that it was unable to load DLL "wimgapi.dll"
Hi Rana,
I would expect to find WIMGAPI.DLL in the system path after WAIK is installed. If you go to a command prompt in the TS session, you should see it in the PATH; look for something like "C:\Program Files\Windows Imaging".
If this is not the case then try reinstalling the WAIK or manually updating the path.

Finally! reason no 8 explains all my problems - thank you
I've not found mention of this, so...
We want to use a custom menu to allow our installing technicians from different departments to use deployment points by updating bootstrap.ini before litetouch.wsf runs.
What is the best way to add a menu to the litetouch boot iso?
(Management wants a single PXE boot image, so we cannot just point them at \boot on their deployment point)
Hi ckarcher,
You can do this quite simply.
The first thing you need to do is ensure that all of the files you require are in the scripts folder of your litetouch image.
You can then call this interface from the bootstrap.ini.
Have you seen my blog on how to create a custom interface?
I am very happy with the progress of the deployment guys blog so far. Hopefully you all agree that we

Kuwait alarmed by Iraqi failure to pay reparations
Kuwait looked forward to improved ties after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam. The country reopened its diplomatic mission that it had closed after Saddam's invasion and appointed an ambassador. But it is still waiting for Iraq to reciprocate. The Iraqi Embassy in Kuwait is headed by a charge d'affaires.
"In 2003, after the fall of Saddam's regime, we had high hopes," said political analyst Ayed al-Mannah. "Now we hear the same old language ... all over again."
Hajji al-Jasser, a 58-year-old businessman who was abroad when Iraqi tanks rolled into his country, said Kuwaitis do not hate Iraqis but are afraid of their "reckless" politicians. He said Kuwaitis should not give up a penny to make the point that Iraq's past behavior should be punished and not repeated.
Kuwait has taken a similarly hard line, refusing to cave to pressure from Washington to forgive $15 billion of Saddam-era debts.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged Iraq and Kuwait on Monday to discuss alternative ways to settle outstanding war reparations, suggesting the possibility of converting them into investments to help Iraq's reconstruction.
Iraq has already proposed the idea to Kuwait, which has not officially responded. However, Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheik Mohammed Al Sabah said Wednesday his country has its own proposals and was prepared to discuss them with Baghdad "under a U.N. umbrella."
Some Kuwaitis believe taking a middle road would be in the country's best interests.
"Opening the door wide for cooperation ... with Iraq is an investment for Kuwait in security and stability," the editor-in-chief of Alrai newspaper, Jassem Budai, wrote in an editorial. "Kuwaitis won't sleep soundly if their neighbors are hungry."

Deception Point (original 2001; edition 2006)
by Dan Brown
Work details
Deception Point by Dan Brown (2001)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Well, that certainly was a deception.
Someone recommended me this book, saying how good and thrilling it was. Every time she tries to convince me to read a certain book now, I'm instantaneously suspicious. Because I really didn't like this one.
It was very boring, for a start, and then -BIG surprise- conspiracies, shootings, life threatening situations, and oh, it's also extremely cold. For me this was Dan Brown's weakest book, it took me 2 attempts and quite some time to finish it.
Similar formula to his other books that he's better known for but its still a good entertaining read.
Politics, scandal, betrayal, conspiracy, characters that you love, and ones that give you a skin crawly feeling, this book has it all!
I picked this book up on a whim at my library, enjoying other Dan Brown books, but not sure quite what to expect from this one. I wasn't disappointed with it. It kept me reading far past when I should have been asleep. Rooting on the unlikely heroes, enjoying the quirky characters, and not quite knowing who was trustworthy or not.
Though not usually one to read too many political based books, I am very glad I picked this one up and gave it a chance. It kept my interest, grated on my nerves, had me guessing who was behind what, up until the surprise reveal of the ones behind everything.

The Langdon novels were not badly done, but by the time we got to The Lost Symbol, Dan lost some of his originality and suspense. They were not bad books but one could pretty much surmise what was going to happen shortly.
One cannot say the same for Deception Point. Yes, we have the first chapter with a murder on our hands. Then we have the woman, Rachel, who gets to check out a new discovery by NASA. She's also the daughter of the senator that is running against the president in the current election.
The chapters run pretty smoothly at this point. The reader suspects something is up that the characters have yet to discover. We also are led to believe that certain people are the bad guys and are never really told who is pulling the strings.
The characterization is not badly done, either. Unlike the Langdon novels which go for chapters explaining the deep inner secrets of the Vatican, secret White House tunnels or jumping out of helicopters, we're spared that! Rather, we have some scientific mumbo jumbo to make the story plausible: a meteorite that has what appears to be alien fossils embedded inside it, at 190 million years old!
But why is Rachel called up to find it? And what's up with this Michael Tolland guy? And why does Dan Brown write about Michael's tragic death of his newlywed wife of a decade ago?
Does this meteorite really contain alien life? Holy Moley!
I did enjoy the secret government plots; the sinister secret Delta Force which has no morality at all as they put people away -- they're all "targets" anyway. The NASA station at the Arctic; the underdeveloped character called Gabrielle and her disillusionment over her support of Senator Sexton.
To summarize, the book details covert government plotting, what some people will do when desperate to save their own necks; and the deception not only from these sources, but personal deception as well -- lying to oneself to protect oneself, dealing with fear of water and fear of relationships.
It's a complex book, clearly a "guy" novel. Better than the Langdon novels, although you can easily see the beginnings of the formulaic writing that becomes a prominent icon of his later books. Recommended.
It's an excellent thriller a big yet believable story unfolding at breakneck pace, with convincing settings and just the right blend of likable and hateful characters. He's also done his research, folding in sophisticated scientific and military details that make his plot far more fulfilling than the norm.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0671027387, Paperback)Penzler Pick, December 2001: In the world of page-turning thrillers, Dan Brown holds a special place in the hearts of many of us. After his first book, Digital Fortress, almost passed me by, he wrote Angels and Demons, which was probably one of the half-dozen most exciting thrillers of last year. It is a pleasure to report that his new book lives up to his reputation as a writer whose research and talent make his stories exciting, believable, and just plain unputdownable.
The time is now and President Zachary Herney is facing a very tough reelection. His opponent, Senator Sedgwick Sexton, is a powerful man with powerful friends and a mission: to reduce NASA's spending and move space exploration into the private sector. He has numerous supporters, including many beyond the businesses who will profit from this because of the embarrassment of 1996, when the Clinton administration was informed by NASA that proof existed of life on other planets. That information turned out to be premature, if not incorrect. (This story is true; I repeat, Dan Brown's research is very, very good.) The embattled president is assured that a rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice will prove to have far-reaching implications on America's space program. The find, however, needs to be verified.
Enter Rachel Sexton, a gister for the National Reconnaissance Office. Gisters reduce complex reports into single-page briefs, and in this case the president needs that confirmation before he broadcasts to the nation, probably ensuring his reelection. It's tricky because Rachel is the daughter of his opponent. Rachel is thrilled to be on the team traveling to the Arctic circle. She is a realist about her father's politics and has little respect for his stand on NASA, but Senator Sexton cannot help but have a problem with her involvement.
Adventure, romance, murder, skullduggery, and nail-biting tension ensue. By the end of Deception Point, the reader will be much better informed about how our space program works and how our politicians react to new information. Bring on the next Dan Brown thriller! --Otto Penzler
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:23:06 -0400)
When a NASA satellite discovers an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory: a victory with profound implications for NASA policy and the impending presidential election. To verify the authenticity of the find, the White House calls upon the skills of intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic scholar Michael Tolland, Rachel travels to the Arctic and uncovers the unthinkable: evidence of scientific trickery, a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy.… (more)

With one of the highest hours of sunshine in France, the Dordogne region is a beautiful region of lush green forests, deeply carved by rivers fed from the Massif Central, rich in alluvial soil, our local farmers crop their land with a medley of strawberries, nodding sunflowers, maize, wheat, tobacco, walnuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts along with rich green paddocks. Whether you enjoy driving, training, walking, hiking, cycling, canoeing, swimming, balloning...Maison Porte del Marty is an ideal place to spend a few days to enjoy this beautiful and historic part of France.

The B&B was a great place and Brian and Cheri were wonderful hosts. The view out the window of the Dordogne was fabulous (swans in the river) and the town was just as charming as Maison Porte del Marty. We would recommend this place without hesitation.

On the main route between Bergerac and Sarlat, also serviced by train from Bordeaux, Libourne, Sarlat, Perigueux and Agen. Approx 2 hours easy drive from Bordeaux and 3 hours from Toulouse. We are in the village of Lalinde 24150, directly opposite the beautiful Gothic Church of St Pierre and on the corner of the Lalinde Bridge, Maison Porte del Marty borders the Dordogne River. If you are driving from the North ( say Paris ) you would generally get off the autoroute at Perigueux or Mussidan, both are convenient.
