There is a definite difference in lamp quality between manufacturers. Even the same lamp shop has lamp performance differences based upon which glass blower made the lamp. These lamps are as much art as craft and so, differences do occur. Also, if you inspect the lamp kernel carefully after say, 500 hours of operation, you may observe some darkening around the electrodes inside the bulb. This is contamination that was introduced at time of manufacture. The name brand lamps usually do not suffer from these performance issues due to the additional steps of cleaning the metal electrodes (usually tungsten) purging the bulb before sealing it closed and generally cleaner manufacturing conditions.
Also, the name brand lamps have developed better electrode material (some electrodes are doped with various salts) and sealing techniques to enhance life.
The main factor regarding HID life is hot re-strikes. The more frequently you hot strike an HID lamp, the more likely you are to have a failure due to the extra load placed on the ballast to supply the increased electrical demands of a hot lamp.
The oilhead load shed relay turns on the low beam lamp when the key is turned to the run position. Then, when you operate the starter, the load shed relay extinguishes the lamp while you spin the starter. When the start button is released, the low beam lamp is repowered.
Unless you install some means of eliminating this hot re-strike when starting your BMW oilhead, your going to sacrifice some HID life.
One final comment, when installing HIDs in a plastic headlamp housing, realize that the HID lamp does generate some UV which can cause deterioration in plastics and a good reason to avoid the high Kelvin lamp color which is high in UV. Also, UV is very tiring to the eyes and can cause some vision difficulties so don't look directly at the light source. Check that your headlamp housing uses UV resistant materials.
The name brand HID lamps usually are manufactured with a UV filter layer applied to the lamp for installation in plastic headlamps. The low cost kits from China? Check with the seller although I doubt you'll get an accurate answer.

"phonics?" Shouldn't that be "photonics?"
Nice article. Here's another one that covers a slightly different implication of a hyperconnected existence - http://blog.brainfacts.org/2013/01/room-for-wonder/
Interesting article. But don't you mean "IPAB", and not "IPAD"? I know the thing is powerful and all, but...

Billboard Music Awards: Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Bobbi Kristina, LMFAO, Monica, Brandy…MORE
The stars hit the red carpet for yet another awards show, Billboard Music Awards. Like all awards shows there are some highlights and some low-lights. Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz hit the red carpet, dressed in black and white. That dress is working the mess out of Alicia Keys hips. I definitely saw more tweets regarding Alicia Keys' hips than I saw tweets about Stevie Wonder's hairline or Bobbi Kristina's dress and wig. But I will just leave those tweets to your imagination, and focus on Alicia Keys in this dress, oh and Swizz Beatz, too.
Black and white are the colors of choice for couples on the #BBMA red carpet. Monica and husband, Shannon Brown, hit the red carpet in black and white, along with Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa, and Jason Derulo and Jordan Sparks. Speaking of Jordan Sparks…Read More
In Case You Missed It: Will Smith SLAPS Reporter Over Kiss
Will Smith SLAPPED a reporter!!! I must admit when I first caught wind that Will Smith slapped a reporter in Moscow during the premiere of Men In Black 3, my first thought was Will Smith who? So naturally I had to see it to believe it because Will Smith does not slap people. Sure enough the Men In Black star did in fact hit a reporter in the face, and if you ask me the reporter deserved it. Check it out for yourself:
So why would Will Smith slap a reporter? Because the man in the picture above tried to kiss Will Smith in the mouth by force. The whole exchange was caught on tape. I'm sorry, but am I the only one that thinks it's foul for a stranger to try to kiss you in the mouth during a sneak attack? Uuggh where has his mouth been! Check out the video when you continue…

The Edinburgh Review, founded in 1802, helped to transform the practice of reviewing in Britain. From its inception, the Edinburgh offered substantial essays on works being reviewed, often incorporating general reflections on the author or subject in question. Such leisurely analyses contrasted sharply with the more usual practice of the established reviews of the day, which tended to notice a larger number and wider range of books, generally in brief articles padded with substantial quotations. The Edinburgh Review, in contrast, set out with a decidedly less populist agenda; its goal, as it explained in its first number, was to identify and pay serious attention only to works that it considered to be of solid …

Good tip Brian. I've been doing a little reading this evening about
iptables and I'm starting to feel like I get it. So if I created a
chain called RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (or something more useful) and then
tried to restart iptables I'd probably have success.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by fpj9 Gorgeous! Soft, flowing, and beautiful. Fits tts. I'm 34B, 5'8, 130 lbs, and ordered the Med. I'm usually a small in most fp clothes. I have a really long torso and arms, and it fits perfect, with a little room. I got the ivory, and it's a little less white and more cream, which doesn't look so great w/my pale skin, so I'm considering exchanging it for the "midnight" color. The ivory would be very versatile for summer however....undecided :) 6.13.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by austindenise absolutely love this I ordered the black and was happy to see when it arrived that it was intertwined with brownish/dark copper shades as well. It's really beautiful, and so far doesn't snag on things when you wear it like some crocheted clothing does. A great wardrobe staple! 2.26.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by fhg Gorgeous Pullover I bought this in the turquoise, loved loved it, but had to return it because the weave was coming apart in several places along the seam. Wanted an exchange, but they were out of stock. What to do? Truth is, I found it online, snatched it up & am happy to say , it was perfect. (FP told me they weren't getting anymore in). TTS, go by the measurements. 2.22.2014

Rated 4 out of 5Â by mamartinez1 Very Pretty But Snags Easily I bought this sweater a few weeks ago and l really love it. It looks gray in the photo online but it is more of a back and tan color combination. The only problem that I found is that it snags really easily and you have to be careful when you wear it since it is very delicate. 12.22.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Beachinchick Head Turner I had seen this pullover on the website and immediately put it in my cart to look at for later since it wouldn't keep you too warm and I was looking more for sweaters. But when I was out shopping I saw this and it took my breath away. The black color was the one that got my attention. It has black and tan threads intertwined giving it a really interesting look. The bell design of the sweater and the arms of the sweater are very flattering. Instant love! 12.17.2013

Tonight's bake: Caputo VS King Arthur
4 Attachment(s)
This is mainly so TexasSourdough can critique my technique, but also as a comparison of Caputo and King Arthur Bread flour. As a rule, my goal is not to cook a Neapolitan style pie, I am more New York/Cali than anything else. I am not a fan of burnt dough, but can appreciate the fine line between bubble-char and actual burned.
At any rate, here are the two doughs that I made last night/today:
First the KABF, my standard mix with the addition of cilantro and paprika:
200G Semolina
670G water
1/4oz ADY
1 Tbsp sea salt
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp cilantro
Water, yeast and ADY mixed in 100 degree water for 10 minutes, then salt added and hand mixed for around 5 minutes. Covered for an hour doubling, then folded 7 times and divided, balled, and cupped for 24 hour cold ferment.
Re: Tonight's bake: Caputo VS King Arthur

The Caputo dough:
Flour 691g
Water 514g (414 called for)
ADY 1/4 oz
Salt 1 Tbsp
Water, yeast and ADY mixed in 100 degree water for 10 minutes, then salt added and hand mixed for around 5 minutes, just like the KABF. Note that I had to add an extra 100 grams of water than the recipe I was using called for to get a workable dough.
First pic is at end of hand mix, second is a comparison of the two doughs at one hour, right before I balled the KABF. The Caputo will do a room temp rise for 17 hours (as it turns out). Third pic is after 17 hour rise.

Today, I did the Caputo:
Dumped, Bouled, cut, balled, and cupped. It will get 4 more hours and turn into pizza tonight around 6PM.
Re: Tonight's bake: Caputo VS King Arthur
The Caputo is very silky and easy to work. The KABF is too, but not quite as baby-butt smooth.
Re: Tonight's bake: Caputo VS King Arthur
Hi TS!
I had noticed your pies tended to be thick and that is certainly consistent with NY style. U will bet in advance that you will prefer the texture of the KABF but...will be interesting!
How have you stored your Caputo? How long have you had it? A lot longer than the KABF? Same storage?
Look forward to the results and your decisions!
I don't usually put semolina in my pizza and I don't typically use sugar but what you are doing is well within reason. Looks fine!
Re: Tonight's bake: Caputo VS King Arthur
I buy small bags and store them in the freezer, but both of these were brand new, the Caputo was very fresh according to the date stamp. I cooked 4 of the Caputo and 2 of the KABF before I ran out of steam. It didn't help that I ate the entire first Caputo pie by myself in about 2 minutes. Usually I don't eat any until they are all done, but I wanted to try it hot and fresh. It was very good, light airy rim, but soggy in the middle as expected. I took some pics I will post when I can.
I would not call my pies thick, I use 300g balls for 14" pies, as a rule, the center is usually less than 1/4". They DO have a lot of ingredients, though, if that is what you mean.
Re: Tonight's bake: Caputo VS King Arthur

Here are some pics. The Caputo is slightly better flavor-wise, but it is a PIA to cook with, hard to find and expensive. I do not see myself using it as my normal dough, but I certainly won't hesitate to use it if cooking Neo pies for someone that wants them.
I made 2 sauces, a cooked down and a raw one for the Neo pies.
The cooked sauce is:
1 28oz can of HEB whol tomatoes, drained
1 28oz can of HEB sauce
3 quarters of paprika peppers
6 big leaves of fresh basil, shredded
4 tbsp turbinado sugar
2 tbsp sea salt
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp of dried basil
1 tbsp of coarse black pepper
1/2 tbpn red pepper flakes
2 clove flowers, crushed
Cooked on low heat for an hour, then into the freezer for a chill.
The Neo is just Cento DOP San Marzanos, fresh basil, and salt, hit with the stick blender. It tastes brighter, but some of that may be due to the slightly tinny flavor. Not bad, none the less.
1. The sauces.
2. Fresh moz, a drizzle of Chevre Noir, with diced prosciutto, onion slivers, and sliced paprika peppers. I ate the entire thing by myself (well, I gave the pizza dogs a couple of crumbs).
3. Crumb
4. A modified Filleti used: Fresh moz and Chevre Noir with cherry tomatoes, green and white onion, and a few of the Lucques olives. The family finished this one quickly and also commented on the crust.
5. My favorite, although I only ate one slice (I had another for breakfast). I put fresh moz, Chevre Noir, Amish blue cheese, Lucques olives, paprika peppers, and onion slivers on it, and then scattered sesame seeds over it.
Re: Tonight's bake: Caputo VS King Arthur

1. Crumb
2. Italian sausage and sauteed onions over fresh moz for a neighbor.
3. Pit pie for another neighbor
4. Slightly undercooked pit pie for re-heating.
Re: Tonight's bake: Caputo VS King Arthur
Hi TS!
The reason I asked about the Caputo was I and a restaurant have had some pretty wild swings in 00 hydration characteristics. In our cases the flour was relatively wet and needed less water. As dry as it has been here this fall in the Hill Country I was suspecting your flour was older and dryer... Sounds like that was wrong!
I think the 00 is fun to work with and I like it for sparse and "dry" pies and traditional Neopolitans but I like bread flour for wetter, heavier pies and for more bite. Given your style I figured you would prefer the bread for most of your pies.
Nice work. I like a hotter dome and a little more top caramalization but...that is simply personal preference!
You made one comment I found interesting in that it seems you cook all your pies before you eat? We usually cook and eat one at a time! I want mine FRESH and HOT!
Bake on!
Re: Tonight's bake: Caputo VS King Arthur
No, I cook the pies and everyone else eats them right then. I might sneak in a slice, but I don't eat while cooking as a rule.

Great TV, Great price

TV looks great and is an excellent value
Great TV8/17/2012
Just got the TV a week ago and everything worked pretty well(so far). The sound on this TV is nice and loud so I don't need to buy a sound bar. The picture quality for HD source is excellent but only VG for non-HD broadcast. The dark color is a bit dark (will adjust the contrast when I have some time). Need to buy a BlueRay player since it only work with HMDI devices.
Love my Tv8/17/2012
What a great price for my Samsung TV. I received it very quickl. Great service.
Great tv8/16/2012
I just bought this apparently lovely product but had to return it because it lacks any type of audio output. I has neither digital nor analog audio output, not even a headphone jack. There is no way to connect an external sound system to the TV as you need to if using cable feed directly to the set. I see no other TV with this deficiency. The TV salesman at Costco had never noticed this and was, like me, shocked by the absence of any output connections. The comparable Samsung 42" has both digital and analog audio outputs. It costs $75 less.

Greenpeace delivered the whale tail prop to call attention to the photography giant's unwillingness to oppose Japan's whale hunt, which has been widely condemned by the international community and rejected by the International Whaling Commission (IWC). Canon's global headquarters is based in Japan and the CEO of the company's Japan division also heads the Japanese Business Federation, which courts substantial influence with the country's prime minister and government. The IWC is holding its 60th annual meeting in Santiago, this week.
Japan has long contended that the hunt is needed to collect scientific data on whales, and Canon has said that it would not address the whaling controversy until consensus has been reached as to the program's scientific value. But for years there has been scientific consensus that the hunt offers no meaningful contribution to whale research as well as international public outrage against the needless brutality the program inflicts on whales. Since the program began in 1987, it has not produced any peer-reviewed papers and the IWC has repeatedly rejected the scientific justification for the hunt.
Greenpeace is urging Canon to make the following statement: "Canon is committed to building a better world for future generations, and does not support the hunting of endangered or threatened species with anything other than a camera. Canon believes the lethal whaling research program in the Southern Ocean should be ended, and replaced with a non-lethal research program."
Canon says on its website that it wants to "hand over a beautiful earth for future generations." We think the earth would be incredibly less beautiful without whales. Don't you?
Tell Canon to help save the whales!

A fire blower performs at a secret 60th birthday bash, planned by Joe Mineo, co-owner of Something New Florist and Events.
Joe Mineo was fearless at age 23. He'd graduated with a degree in theater from NYU but had decided the stage wasn't for him. So he set his own stage as a florist in 1987, designing something new by specializing in events and parties.
That move led him to where he is today, a highly sought-after florist and event designer who serves customers ranging from a bride and groom hosting a small wedding to those planning induction ceremonies at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. His multi-lined business, Something New Floral and Events, an ERIE Customer with the Chase Agency, runs out of a 29,000 square foot office and warehouse with a 5,000 square foot retail showroom in Canfield, Ohio.
"Growing the business didn't happen overnight," says Joe, whose employee head count is now close to 50. "It's been 25 years, in fact. We've been lucky that it's grown as it has."
Luck and a little hard work and ingenuity. He explained that the business grew because they really were doing something different by delivering more than just flowers for customers.
"We think through all the details of an event, down to how certain guests will enter and what their individual experience will be like," he says. "It really is all about offering something new."
How'd he do it?
Joe didn't grow the business by himself. He surrounded himself with talented people who he trusted to do their job and help him do his. In 1999, at a crucial time in their growth, they built their current location, and his sister Anna Howells became his partner.
Joe also took his brand online with a series of websites and a blog, thanks to marketing and PR expert Eska Bauman. When it comes to the books, he's on solid ground thanks to Debbie Fajcak, who manages cash flow and accounting.
"I could walk into the room and it's just a room," Debbie says. "When Joe walks in, he sees endless possibilities. I'm that way with money, though – I see the bank account and I can see 10 different ways money will be distributed based on the needs of the business."
Those needs, like anyone's, can sometimes be unexpected. This past summer, Something New was faced with a surprise $14,000 bill to replace the air conditioning in the store front and offices. Then a couple of small leaks in the roof meant gathering estimates from $5,000 in repairs to $70,000 for a roof replacement.
"Cash flow can be so hard to anticipate—every day gets in the way," Debbie says. "I work to keep a minimum balance so those surprises are covered, but it's a delicate balance."
When it comes to paying estimated taxes and accounting for employee benefits, those everyday cash flow decisions can get complex. Debbie has to account and plan for slow times of year, such as January through March, by saving during the busy times, like December. Estimated taxes, which first come due on Jan. 15, have to come out of the same pot. This leaves less funding available to cover expenses during slow times.
Something New has a line of credit to use when cash flow is tight, but Debbie does all she can to avoid dipping into it. Debbie also helped Something New transition into an S-Corp, which helps lessen the burden.
Delivering an Experience
Joe's passion and his strong personal brand combined with behind the scenes magic has made Something New a go-to for anyone looking to celebrate life's special moments.
"We built our company on the idea that we're delivering an experience," Joe says. "And that evolves. Our aesthetic is very different and can change with the times – our logo has evolved over the years and we've had three different locations – but the special experience we offer never changes. The door handles on our building, the floor, our displays, the courtesy we show customers—everything is part of that experience. We have a big expectation of ourselves and what we bring to the table."
It's that big expectation that paves the way for Joe and his team to design something new every day.

Woodbury acquisition celebrated by conservation partners
Conservation partners gathered Friday, Nov. 13, 2009, to celebrate the completion of one of the largest habitat conservation purchases in the state's history with the acquisition of 25,668-acres of working forestland, recreational lands and wildlife habitat in Marion County by the State of South Carolina.
This large block of forestland, previously owned by International Paper, was slated for sale as part of the company's decision to divest of all land holdings. In August 2006, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) purchased a 56-percent interest in the 25,668-acre property known as Woodbury, located in Marion County. The Conservation Fund and The Nature Conservancy held title to the remaining 44-percent of the property while the DNR worked to obtain additional funding from federal sources. In July 2007, the DNR secured necessary funds to complete the acquisition and purchased all remaining interests from The Conservation Fund and The Nature Conservancy.
See video of the Woodbury property.
"Preserving the way we look and feel as a state not only improves our quality of life, but also speaks to this larger notion of competitiveness in an increasingly 'flat' world," Gov. Mark Sanford said speaking at Friday's event. "In that sense, I'd applaud the hard work of all involved in acquiring this tract of land, and urge continued efforts to protect valuable environmental assets like the Woodbury forestland all across this state. We've been blessed both in our geography and with opportunities like these to preserve and protect - leaving our state better than we found it for our children, and generations going forward."
DNR used state funds from the S.C. Conservation Bank and the Heritage Trust bond bill legislation to acquire the initial interest in the property. The remaining funds came from the federal following sources: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - $4,451,949; State Wildlife Grant (USFWS) - $50,000; North American Wetlands Conservation Act (USFWS) - $1,000,000; Coastal Wetlands Grant (USFWS) - $1,000,000; Forest Legacy (U.S. Forest Service) - $3,306,754. The total cost of the project was $28.9 million.
"One of South Carolina's greatest treasures is the natural beauty of our surroundings. We have a responsibility to help ensure our state's natural resources are preserved for the benefit of future generations. Opportunities to preserve large tracts of land like this do not come about very often," said Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC). "I commend the Conservation Fund, The Nature Conservancy, and the DNR under the leadership of John Frampton for coming together to make this happen. I'm very pleased to see a commitment to protecting this environmentally significant tract of land and honored to be a part of the dedication ceremony."
In addition to providing recreational opportunities, these forests protect large tracts of habitat for several important wildlife and aquatic species, including such birds as the Kentucky warbler, Louisiana waterthrush, rusty blackbird, swallow-tailed kite, Swainson's warbler and others. The protection of this tract will also provide river corridor protection to 27.5 miles of river frontage along the Great Pee Dee River and 11.5 miles of frontage along the Little Pee Dee River.
"This habitat protection initiative conserves some of our most ecologically significant landscapes," said DNR Director John Frampton. "South Carolina is known for its diverse forests, abundant waterways and wildlife related recreational opportunities. Thanks to the support of Governor Mark Sanford and his personal attention, these resources are now protected. We're grateful to Governor Sanford for his strong commitment to quality of life issues and habitat protection in South Carolina. Furthermore, we greatly appreciate the commitment of conservationists in the state General Assembly who worked hard to secure funding from the South Carolina Conservation Bank and the Conservation Bond Act. We also want to thank the entire South Carolina Congressional Delegation in Washington, especially Senators Lindsey Graham and Jim DeMint, as well as Congressmen Jim Clyburn, for their support of this project and for the federal funding.
The protected land is of special interest to Congressmen Clyburn because it lies within the congressional district he represents, Frampton added.
"Today, we celebrate a victory--not just for South Carolina, but also for the nation," said Larry Selzer, president and chief executive officer of The Conservation Fund. "These magnificent lands, protected in partnership with Governor Sanford, Senator Graham, International Paper, our colleagues at The Nature Conservancy, and our collaborators represent the best of conservation, providing economic and environmental opportunity for future generations."
The Southern United States represents the most biologically diverse region in the country—and one of the most threatened. The continued fragmentation of Southern forests because of subdivision, land-use changes and development is one of the most pressing threats facing the American landscape today. Forests, both public and private, protect biodiversity, wildlife habitat, water supplies, recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts and jobs for more than 1.6 million Americans.
"This has been a great partnership, committed to conserving South Carolina's natural heritage," said Mark Robertson, The Nature Conservancy's South Carolina executive director. "Our partnership has accomplished something truly inspiring. Governor Sanford, the conservationists in the South Carolina General Assembly, South Carolina's congressional delegation, The Conservation Fund, The Nature Conservancy, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and International Paper have worked together to create a lasting legacy. It will benefit generations of South Carolinians who love the state's natural habitats and appreciate the recreational opportunities, the clean water, clean air and abundant wildlife they provide."
"Woodbury is one of South Carolina's most extraordinary and magnificent forests," said Larry Selzer, The Conservation Fund president. "Thanks to the vision and leadership of Governor Sanford, the State of South Carolina and the Congressional delegation, and the commitment of The Nature Conservancy and International Paper, these important lands will protect wildlife habitat, enhance air and water quality, support local economies and provide exceptional outdoor recreation opportunities for future generations."
"Protecting large contiguous tracts of working forests like Woodbury offers the best opportunity to conserve these forest ecosystems for the future," said Marvin Davant, executive director of the South Carolina Conservation Bank. "This accomplishment will insure that many generations of South Carolinians and visitors alike will be able to enjoy this wonderful natural resource."The Conservation Bank was especially pleased to be a partner in support of this project, protecting critical forestlands and wetlands."
South Carolina's natural resources are essential for economic development and contribute nearly $30 billion and 230,000 jobs to the state's economy. Find out why Life's Better Outdoors.

The Christmas season is about more than tinsel, eggnog and lacing Santa's cookies with sleeping-pills to prove once and for all that he's real. It's about giving gifts and reaching for your dreams. If your dream is to climb Kilimanjaro in nothing but your gym shorts, you'll probably need more than a discount on oxygen tanks but if your dream leaves you identifying with cheesy pop-songs about feeling like a bird, today's Groupon is for you. Celebrate the face that 'tis the season for aerial antics and save up to 40% on microlight flights with Aquila Safari.
Often called the motorbikes of the sky, microlight flying is probably the closest you'll ever come to the spreading your wings and soaring through the sky feeling without needing to tangle with melted wax and a pile of feathers. Not only do you get to kit yourself out in the original Luftwaffe flight suit complete with leather cappie and goggles, you'll get to experience the particular joy of floating through the sky with someone who gives new meaning to the word eccentric.
The thirty-minute microlight flying experience gives you the chance to see the world from a totally different perspective. From the windswept hold of nothing but a harness, you can feel the rather-more-than-a-breeze rushing past you and all but taste the sea air. If you can lash it securely enough to your arm, feel free to bring along your camera to show everyone how close you came to imitating Icarus.

Xiaomi Mi 4 review: Dragons forever
Xiaomi is in no mood to slow down and the Mi 4 is ready to succeed one of the most popular Chinese smartphones, the Mi 3. Riding the new wave of made-in-China flagships, with the likes of Oppo, Meizu and Huawei, this one is a highly anticipated sequel that has its mind on shaking the market just like its predecessor.
Xiaomi Mi 3 paved the way with its spotless design, high-quality unibody build, top-notch hardware package and clean and responsive MIUI. Not to mention the affordable price tag, which is one of the key reasons why Xiaomi is so popular. Well, the Mi 3 is still not going anywhere, as it remains Xiaomi's flagship on a number of markets, but the next iteration will surely try and nudge it out of the spotlight.
The Xiaomi Mi 4 has the same form factor and uses a similar 5" 1080p IPS display. So what's new about it? Well, for starters, it has a brand new glossy plastic shell for the rear cover, which can be replaced with a wide choice of optional patterns and textures, including bamboo and stone. The highlight of the new design however is the metal frame, which gives the Mi 4 a more solid, premium feel. The Mi 4 is also a tad more compact than the Mi 3.
As becomes of a new flagship, there are upgrades under the hood, too. Snapdragon 801 takes over from the older generation, bringing faster Adreno 330 graphics and more RAM (3GB). Xiaomi has also added LTE connectivity and enabled 4K video recording. A massive 8MP front-facer promises some of the best selfies in the business.
The Xiaomi Mi 4 runs MIUI v5 based on Android 4.4.3 KitKat, but it will most certainly be updated to the next version, currently in beta release. MIUI v6 brings flat iOS7-like interface, prettier and more feature-rich. Don't you worry Mi 3 owners, you will be getting it too.
So let's check the Xiaomi Mi 4's main feature list.
Key features
- 5" IPS 1080p capacitive touchscreen of 441ppi
- Android 4.4.3 KitKat with MIUI v.5, upgradable to MIUI v.6
- 2.5GHz quad-core Krait 400 CPU; 3GB of RAM; Adreno 330 GPU; Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset
- 13MP camera, f/1.8 aperture, LED flash, 4K video capture, HDR video, 1080p@30fps, 720p@120fps
- 8MP front-facing camera; 1080p video recording
- 16/64 GB of built-in memory
- Active noise cancellation with a dedicated microphone
- 3,080mAh battery
Main disadvantages
- No Gorilla Glass
- No microSD card slot
- No user-replaceable battery
- No NFC
- Sold exclusively online
The lack of a microSD slot isn't unexpected. No Mi flagship, besides the very first one, has ever come with expandable storage.
Other than that though, the equipment is flagship-grade. Xiaomi has put some extra effort into the Mi 4's design as well. Perhaps a bit too much even. The customization options are probably second to the Moto X only but going squarely after the iPhone is a questionable decision compared to the subtle but powerful Nokia-like aesthetics of the previous generation.
Anyway, we have the review to decide where we stand on that - and getting right to it. We're back after the jump for our traditional tour of the exterior.
Special thanks to HonorBuy.com for providing the review unit.

Pretoria — With less than a day to go to the start of the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), telecommunications company Telkom says it is ready to deliver services that are required for South Africa's hosting of the tournament with no network failures expected.
"Having prepared for the 2013 Afcon in record time, Telkom is pleased to help tie together this nation-building event. Smooth technical operations are crucial for the success of such occasions and we will deliver nothing less," Telkom Business Managing Director, Dr Brian Armstrong, said on Friday.
The tournament kicks-off tomorrow at the National Stadium with an opening ceremony followed by a match between Bafana Bafana and Cape Verde, at 6pm.
Telkom has been requested to render a range of Information Technology and Telecommunications services for the duration of the tournament.
It will provide a range of both voice and data mobile services and products.
"The experience of the 2010 FIFA World Cup has helped Telkom greatly in delivering on critical services for events like the Afcon. The scales of the two events are vastly different and as a result, so are the risks. We could not be better prepared," said Dr Armstrong.
Telkom will also deliver an IP based Virtual Private Network (VPN) for the purposes of voice, data and video traffic.
This said, Telkom will ensure that the Local Organising Committee's (LOC's) Sandton headquarters will be connected in real-time to the five stadiums that will be used - in Johannesburg; Nelspruit; Durban; Port Elizabeth and Rustenburg - at any point in time.
The service will be managed from the Telkom National Network Operations Centre in Centurion.
Telkom has made provision for Internet access for both national and international communication to be used by the international media fraternity.
This will enable journalists and commentators to file their respective stories on time. Wireless access (WiFi) services will be deployed at locations such as the media tribune, broadcast compound, and accreditation centres at each of the utilised stadiums.
"Every precaution has been taken to avoid network failures, including additional redundancy via dual access infrastructure and 24/7 network management," said Dr Armstrong.
Telkom will also deploy six telepresence units at the stadiums and LOC headquarters in Sandton to support the operational requirements of the Afcon LOC.
On Thursday, the South African Police Service (SAPS) jointly with the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) assured soccer fans who will be coming to the country for the tournament that they will be protected from the moment they arrive at the country's ports of entry.
The soccer spectacle concludes on 10 February.

Changes for HyperGraphDB, Release 1.1
- Migration to Berkeley DB 11g Release 2
- Made HGRelTypeConstructor into a HGComplexType so that relations can be found by name more easily.
- Added the HGTransactionContext to the HGTransaction instances. Added the HyperGraph instance to its associated HGTransactionContext.
- Added a few more events for finer grained control of atom addition and replacement. Listeners can throw strongly-typed exceptions to abort the transaction.
- Added collection and List based constructors for LinkCondition and OrderedLinkCondition respectively.
- Added HGQuery.hg.atomAssert API for "insert ignore" semantics.
- XMPP interface allows communicating with peers from a chat room only instead of having to manage every peer's roaster separately.
- Added toString method to HGValueLink for tracing/debugging purposes.
- Fixed a bug when removing a link with an empty target set.
- Fixed a bug in SimpleALGenerator and DefaultALGenerator returning incorrect link when it changes.
- Added HGUtils.dropHyperGraphInstance method to delete a HGDB instance from the filesystem
- Implemented MVCC (snapshot isolation) transactions, which are now default.
- Added size() method to HGCache interface and implementations.
- EnumType supports indexing (i.e. enum properties can be indexed by)
- Abstracted storage implementation into HGStoreImplementation interface
- Abstracted persistent handle management - HGHandleFactory is now an interface rather than a class.
- Added some more configuration options to HGConfiguration:
- max size of in-memory incidence sets - maxCachedIncidenceSetSize
- option to ignore system attributes (improves performance when set to false which is not the default!)
- New HGTypeConfiguration class to customize type system bootstrapping.
- Removed storage cache configuration option from HGConfiguration - this is not separately available from BDBStorageImplementation.getConfig() which returns BDBConfig.
- Added 'goBeforeFirst' and 'goAfterLast' methods to HGRandomAccessResult interface.\
- HGALGenerator now returns a Pair
result set holding both the link to the adjacent atom and the atom itself, while the getCurrentLink method was removed.
- Added HGHandleHolder, similar to HGGraphHolder - atoms implementating this interface will have their own handle managed as a bean property by a HyperGraph instance (set during add/load/replace).
- Added HGTypeHolder interface that behaves similarly HGGraphHolder and HGHandleHolder - atoms implementing this interface will have their own type handle stored as a bean property (set during add/load/replace).
- Added Date related primitive types for storing java.util.Date, java.sql.Date, java.sql.Timestamp and java.util.Calendar - value are stored as longs in GMT according to the local time zone.
- To construct HGLink Java beans, it is now possible to use constructors of the form A(HGHandle x, HGHandle y, ..., HGHandle z) in addition to the A(HGHandle targetSet) form. This makes it easier to name the actual link target arguments and improves code readability and Javadocs.
- Added support for private default and link based constructors.
- Fixed a bug with sub-type indices not being used.
- Fixed a bug with OrderedLinkCondition constructed from a List of HGHandles.
- Completely removed dependency on JXTA for P2P implementation - this is unmaintained, confusing new users and just taking space in the distribution,
- Other bug fixes and improvements that weren't formally tracked or reported...
API Changes
A couple of minor changes to the public API were made in this release. Those changes do not remove functionality and are peripheral enough that they should impact only a few lines of code (if any) on projects using HyperGraphDB. Here is the list of them together with an explanation of the rationale behind the change and what you should do if you are impacted:
- The HGHandleFactory class is now an interface. It used to be a class with static methods dealing with persistent handles. The choice of static methods assumed that a JVM instance would only need one kind of persistent handles generated. This may prevent several co-existent HyperGraph object to have different handle schemas, e.g. a RAM only instance with int handles and a UUID-based HyperGraphDB peer that's part of a distributed network . So the HGHandleFactory is now an object associated with the HyperGraph instance of which it manages handles. This means all persistent handle construction (new handles, from string, from byte) are to be done by the object returned from HyperGraph.getHandleFactory(). The handle factory itself is part of the HGConfiguration bean. The default remains UUIDHandleFactory constructing random UUIDs. If you need to define persistent handles statically and if you've done so already, and you are comfortable with a commitment to UUID-based handle, you can make call to the UUIDHandleFactory.I instance in static contexts.
- The storage caching related attributes where removed from the HGConfiguration bean. This is because we'd like to implement different back-ends in the future (than BerkeleyDB) and not all will have a configurable cache. Instead:
- The HGStore now relies on an implementation of HGStoreImplementation.
- Each HGStoreImplementation offers a configuration object through its getConfiguration method.
- Thus, one can configure the storage implementation before instantiating a HyperGraph instance via HGConfiguration.getStoreImplementation().getConfiguration(). What this means is that you might need to gain some familiarity with the particulars of the storage back-end being used. In particular, for BerkeleyDB you'd have to do getEnvironmentConfig().setCacheSize(...) on the store implementation configuration object.
- The HGIndexer class was refactored into an interface with direct index and unindex methods. This allows for truly arbitrary indexing, including many-to-many models that weren't possible with the previous API (each atom could only yield a single key). The previous HGIndexer class is now called HGKeyIndexer and it implements the new HGIndexer interface. This change won't impact any usage of the predefined indexers. However, if you have implemented a custom indexer, you need to change it to extent HGKeyIndexer instead of HGIndexer and everything should work as before.
- The HGALGenerator now returns a Pair
result set holding both the link to the adjacent atom and the atom itself, while the getCurrentLink method was removed. This way, a single generator instance can be reused multiple time, recursively or within a loop because it doesn't maintain state anymore.
- Range queries from HGSortedIndex no longer return HGRandomAccessResult, but just a HGSearchResult. This was essentially a bug in the API: random access can't be implemented efficiently in general in this case. That said, concrete implementation may still return random access results whenever possible.

How to Release Inactive IP Addresses for VM Networks in VMM
Updated: November 1, 2013
Applies To: System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager, System Center 2012 SP1 - Virtual Machine Manager
With Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) in System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or System Center 2012 R2, you can use the following procedure to release inactive IP addresses that are in an IP address pool on a VM network. When you release an inactive address, VMM returns the address to the static IP address pool, and considers it available for reassignment. An IP address is considered inactive when either of the following conditions is true:
A host that was assigned a static IP address through the bare-metal deployment process is removed from VMM management. When you remove the host, any IP and MAC addresses that were statically assigned to virtual machines on the host are also marked as inactive.
A virtual machine goes into a missing state because it was removed outside VMM.
To release inactive IP addresses for VM networks
Open the VMs and Services workspace.
Note Because this IP address pool is for virtual machines, it is located in the VMs and services workspace, not in the Fabric workspace.
In the VMs and Services pane, click VM Networks.
On the Home tab, in the Show group, click VM Networks.
The VM Network tab appears.
Click the VM Network tab.
In the VM Networks and IP Pools pane, expand the VM network.
Right-click the desired IP address pool, and then click Properties.
Click the Inactive addresses tab.
Select the check box next to each inactive IP address that you want to release, or select the check box in the table header row to select all the addresses, and then click Release.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
Long considered one of America's great orchestras, The Cleveland Orchestra stands today among the world's most-revered symphonic ensembles. Under their artistic director Franz Welser-Most they have developed a sound that is perfectly suited to Bruckner: impressive without ever becoming bombastic. The trumpets and trombones blend into the orchestral sound with unparalleled brilliance, while the strings bring melodic intensity to the motivic material. On this DVD we are given a sample of that special sound in a recording of Bruckner's final symphony.Notes & Reviews:

Manchester City interested in Felipe Melo according to agent
2013-05-28 05:08:26
Manchester City are interested in Galatasaray defensive midfielder Felipe Melo according to the players agent Jose Rodrigo Baster.
"I don't want to give the name but I can speak about the offer we have received from England," Baster said.
"City are interested in Melo, the club have made no secret of this and I am free to inform you about this latest development.
"I love Galatasaray fans, Fatih Terim and the team but the board did the same thing last season.
"Also they had a buy-out clause agreement with Juventus until 30 April 2013.
"I don't want to be disrespectful but I can't understand what's going on and am quite upset about the situation."
Borussia Dortmund, Napoli and Sao Paulo have also been linked with Melo.
Melo who has spent two seasons at Galatasaray on loan is reported to be unhappy with the Istanbul giants unwillingness to sign him on a permanent basis.
Galatasaray are still locked in negotiations with Juventus who are holding out at a €6 million transfer fee; while the Turkish champions are only willing to set aside €4 million for the former Brazil international.
The 30-year-old midfielder played an important role in the Lions lifting the 2011-12 and 2012-13 Turkish Super League titles. Melo has 13 goals and 6 assists in 71 appearances for the Istanbul club.

Iceland's tiered system of air travel alerts went to orange last week, then to red with a believed under-ice eruption of the volcano beneath the Dyngjujokull glacier, but has now been eased back to orange. "Observations show that a sub-glacial eruption did not occur yesterday. The intense low-frequency seismic signal observed yesterday has therefore other explanations," the Icelandic Met Office said. The office had therefore decided to move the aviation warning code from red to orange, it said, but since there was no sign the seismic activity was slowing down, an eruption could still not be excluded. The national police commissioner said separately that all restrictions on aviation had been cancelled. Airspace of 140 by 100 nautical miles above the volcano had been closed to aircraft on Saturday.

Friends - Nicole Branagh and Wiz Bachman McCutcheon
See the previous post below for the backstory.
When Nicole learned of Bachman tragedy, 'I couldn't stand up'
BEIJING — Nicole Branagh expected her close friend to see her Olympic debut Saturday evening.
"I left tickets for her, and her parents at the (hotel)," the former University of Minnesota Gopher said. "I had been communicating with her throughout the day."
But Elisabeth "Wiz" Bachman McCutcheon and her parents never made it to the Chaoyang Park Beach Volleyball Ground.
Earlier in the day, a man wielding a knife attacked them, killing her father Todd and seriously injuring her mother Barbara at a 13th-century landmark.
Branagh didn't learn of the tragedy until after she and partner Elaine Youngs defeated a Netherlands duo in straight sets. She immediately burst into tears.
"I couldn't stand up," said Branagh. "It was very emotional."
Asked how she would have reacted had she been informed before the match, Branagh quickly said, "I don't think I could have played, to be honest."
McCutcheon and Branagh, along with U.S. Olympic indoor volleyball player Lindsey Berg, have helped provide a strong Minnesota connection to a sport known for its West Coast talent. Berg and Branagh played at the University of Minnesota, and Bachman was raised in Lakeville.
The three played on the national indoor team in 2003, winning the Pan American Cup and taking bronze at two other major events, and they played on the Minnesota Chill in 2002, leading the team to a title in the now- defunct United States Professional Volleyball League.
They remain friends, although McCutcheon and Branagh played together for one more year on the national team and even roomed together for a full year and two summers. Branagh was a bridesmaid when Wiz and Hugh McCutcheon married a couple of years ago in the Twin Cities.
Branagh said she is "devastated," and she is mentally and emotionally "exhausted." She and Youngs are 2-0, after winning Monday.
"I can't imagine what that family is going through," Branagh said, fighting her emotions. "I'm just numb."
"Yesterday and today were very hard. I just did the best I could, to focus on my match."

14 Highly Questionable Poker-Themed TattoosCreated By: PokerListings.com
We love poker. We truly do.
Tattoos ... meh. We've seen some nice ones over the years, but truth be told we've never been so keen on a virtual date stamp that says "hey, remember what you kind of were into in 1996?"
Poker tattoos are a pretty ballsy decision. It's a great game, for sure, but who knows how you're going to feel about it 10 years from now when you can't beat 1c/2c online.
Here are some poker lovers who clearly aren't concerned about that.
Note: This is all in good fun. We like your tattoos, really. Also if any of these photos are yours and you'd like us to take them down, please let us know.
Pretty much the gold standard for questionable tattoos of all varieties. We wish him the best of luck at the MSOP though.
It's not the letters you get in the alphabet, it's how you put them together too.
Would have had a royal if it wasn't for that suitless 10 in the deck.
Just a guy with a baby flush, a short stack and some wonky, trapezoid dice against the world.
Is there a hotter set of hole cards in the deck than the 4♠ 9♠? Yes. Yes there is.
Hotter than the 4♠ 9♠, but not by much really.
Lesson here is clearly watch out for tiny skeleton hands stealing your bumpy, flaming aces.
It's nice to see a completed royal, finally. Shame it only scooped $650 though.
Pay the man his $164. (Does anybody get paid off with a royal anymore?)
Seems like the right place to find a deck with a "17 of black diamonds" in it, we guess.
You smell that? I think it's that guy's weak Ace.
The great thing about the joker-completed Broadway straight is there are only 300 or so combinations that beat you.
The king is dead, long live the king.
This one's actually pretty awesome.
Please fill the required fields correctly!

Working for a better world...
where whales and humans meet.
Catherine's cetacean work began in 1990 with her independent study of whales and dolphins in Canada, New Zealand and USA. For nearly two years in Florida, Catherine participated in a program to rehabilitate previously captive bottlenose dolphins for return to their native waters. In addition to daily care of up to six dolphins, she assisted with readaptation protocols. While in New Zealand, Catherine investigated human/dolphin swim operations and completed a course with Project Jonah in whale stranding and rescue.
Catherine has been privileged since 1995 to know as friend, colleague and mentor, Dr. Toni Frohoff, one of the world's leading behavioural biologists specializing in human-dolphin interactions. Under the direction of Dr. Frohoff, Cathy began her behavioural research training in a two-year study for the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society (WDCS), which looked at high-risk interaction between humans and captive dolphins in North American petting/feeding pools. Her contribution to this project included scoring (analyzing) videotape data, writing and assisting Dr. Frohoff with development of a behavioural catalogue. The study results have been incorporated into a recent report by WDCS and the Humane Society of the United States. Catherine has also co-authored scientific publications on solitary sociable beluga whales.
Catherine's passion for whales and dolphins encompasses a wide range of expression from music composition, film making and painting, to popular and scientific writing. Her work has been featured in several documentaries internationally. She is also writer and co-producer of her own educational documentary film Where Whales and Humans Meet , which garnered three awards in the categories of education and human/animal interaction at the 2000 International Wildlife Film Festival in Missoula, Montana. She is a contributing author in the anthology entitled, Between Species: A Celebration of the Dolphin-Human Bond, edited by Toni Frohoff and Brenda Peterson, published May 2003 by Sierra Club Books. Catherine's commitment to sharing important information about marine life and the environment is evident through the many presentations she gives in schools, universities and other institutions.

Who's it going to be this week? Spring Training is just around the corner and soon enough I will have some more legit material to base my Blue Jay of the Week decision from. This past week I seen a comment on Twitter that really made me laugh from a Blue Jays reliever who seems to be a forgotten man sometimes. That tweet and the fact that he is a key piece to the bullpen and the teams success make him this weeks Blue Jay of the Week!
This weeks Blue Jay of the Week is…. Casey Janssen! (@CaseyJanssen)
I look at Casey Janssen' 6-0 win-loss record plus 2 saves in 2011 and it makes me wonder how he can be a forgotten man in the Blue Jays bullpen. To me it feels that way.
All off-season we have heard the names Oliver, Frasor, Cordero and Santos and that's with good reason. GM Alex Anthopoulos has created quite a buzz the past few months building up what many are saying is the best bullpen in the AL if not all of baseball.
Those names get mentioned often but it feels to me that the glue of the Blue Jays bullpen is Casey Janssen. He is by far the most established returning reliever who finished last season with the team, the others being Carlos Villanueva and Luis Perez.
Santos arrives as the new and improved closer the team has desperately needed after blowing game after game last season. Established closer Francisco Cordero comes from the Reds and will fill the set-up man role. Southpaw specialist Darren Oliver has been brought in to lock down left handed hitters and to also provide veteran leadership in the clubhouse.
Those moves give the 2012 Blue Jays more hope than last season but having Janssen returning after going through arbitration should excite the Blue Jays fan base as much as anything.
As I pointed out it was a tweet that helped me make my decision this week.
"Just drove by a house that had a christmas tree out for trash day…u kidding me #waytogeturmoneysworth #turnthepageitsfeb7″
I thought that was quite funny and when you add it to him being the 'glue guy' of the bullpen, it all equals Casey Janssen being the Blue Jay of the Week!
What do you think about my Blue Jay of the Week?

The OAuth standard for cross-site authentication has been around for over a year now, without having really taken off. A pair of announcements this week indicates that the quiet period is over, though: both the Google Data APIs and MySpace's Data Availability Project opened their doors to OAuth. This means that other sites and mashups that want to use your Google or MySpace data do not have to prompt for your username and password (and they shouldn't!); they can forward your authentication requests straight to the home site instead, and just get back the data that you allow it to share.
For site developers, this raises the bar a bit: with these high-profile examples of best practices, users are going to be more reluctant to share their credentials with every web site that comes down the pike. For web workers, wide adoption of OAuth can help protect the security of our accounts, and make it easier to try out new services. It's a win all around.

2012 Time For Change
"2012: Time for Change" presents an optimistic alternative to apocalyptic doom and gloom. Directed by Emmy Award nominee João Amorim, the film follows journalist Daniel Pinchbeck, author of the bestselling 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, on a quest for a new paradigm that integrates the archaic wisdom of tribal cultures with the scientific method. As conscious agents of evolution, we can redesign post-industrial society on ecological principles to make a world that works for all. Rather than breakdown and barbarism, 2012 heralds the birth of a regenerative planetary culture where collaboration replaces competition, where exploration of psyche and spirit becomes the new cutting edge, replacing the sterile materialism that has pushed our world to the brink.

He is a man of edgy energy going from one addict to the next without stopping to catch his breath. But then one session goes bad in a remote snowed-in Canadian home, and a quiet young man almost dies. Dimitri must decide whether or not to continue his mission. Is it serving the addicts or simply releasing his own demons? Dimitri travels to Gabon, West Africa, to consult with Bwiti shamans, and puts himself through a punishing iboga initiation in search of guidance.

Just Do It provides a unique look at the changing face of environmental activism, where individuals and communities are successfully uniting to make their voices heard and helping to bring about change on important environmental issues.
Sacred Science
Despite remarkable advances in modern medicine, our society still struggles to effectively treat these and other common illnesses.Witness the story of eight brave souls as they leave the developed world behind in search of deeper answers. Living in seclusion for one month in the heart of the Amazon jungle, these men and women take part in the powerful healing practices of Peru's indigenous medicine men, working with centuries-old plant remedies and spiritual disciplines.

3rd Coolest August on Record at Dulles and Baltimore
Just how cool has August been so far?
While we have experienced some seriously beautiful weather so far this August we have also had several very chilly mornings in the Mid-Atlantic. When you average the high and low temperatures together, we rank in the top three coolest months of August up to this point at Dulles and Baltimore. Here is a graphic from the National Weather Service that shows our average temperature so far from August 1st through the 15th compared to the averages and records for the month.
Not once did the thermometer at Dulles or BWI reach 90 degrees in August of 2014. 87 was the hottest day of the month at Dulles, VA on the 5th. If we take a look at Reagan National, while it was also cooler than average, it definitely tells a different story.
The average temperature here is less than two degrees below the normal of 77.1. It did hit 90 degrees, but only once on the 5th. And it doesn't even make the top ten coolest Augusts on record. It really goes to show you how different weather can be just a few miles apart in our region. Now that the month is half over, what can we expect as we end it? Will there be a big warm up?
- 6 to 10 day Outlook
Well, at least a bit of one... The medium range forecast has temperatures near the seasonal average with above average temps nearby . We could hit 90 in there for a day or two if we're lucky (yeah, I wouldn't mind one more). So far, D.C. has had 16 days at 90 degrees or above. On average, we get between 25 and 30 of them in a year. The summers with the fewest 90 degree days were in 1905 and 1886 when there were only 7 days. (Thanks to Alex Liggitt and a previous blog for those last two stats).
