Altvater: Victor Dubuisson amazes golf fans at WGC-Accenture Match PlayWritten by Fred Altvater | | email@example.com
Captain Paul McGinley's European Ryder Cup team added another great young player to his already strong roster. With his runner-up finish at the WGC-Accenture Match Play, Frenchman Victor Dubuisson announced himself as a serious match play specialist.
The Europeans have had the Americans number in recent years, winning seven of the last nine Ryder Cups. Dubuisson will be a nice addition to an already strong European team.
Dubuisson, just 23 years old, has only played in four events previously on the PGA Tour. In three starts this season, he only had one top-25 finish and earned $155,000.
He made a lot more than that this week. The $905,000 second-place check will put him over $1 million for the year and earn him a full PGA Tour membership.
He also garnered a ton of new fans in the U.S. with his swashbuckling, Houdini-like style of golf.
Dubuisson's phenomenal par saves from the cacti and desert flora made believers of every golf fan. He rebounded from three-down to Jason Day and forced the final match to 23 holes before Day eventually prevailed.
Sometimes when you lose, your really win.
That is exactly what will happen for Dubuisson. He will be deluged with offers to play in PGA Tour events and endorse everything from shaving cream to deodorant.
No Frenchman has ever won on the PGA Tour. Jean Van de Velde finished runner-up at the 2000 Reno-Tahoe Open and is famous for his debacle at the 1999 Open Championship at Carnoustie.
There was no rifle-dropping by this feisty Frenchman. He dispatched Kevin Streelman, Peter Hanson, Bubba Watson, Graeme McDowell and Ernie Els, before running into Day in the finals.
Two-down and facing elimination from the desert scrub beside the 17th green, Dubuisson miraculously chipped onto the green, made the putt to save par and win the hole.
Day still led by one hole standing on the 18th tee and once again Dubuisson missed the green and found himself under a dead branch, in the rocks and buried near some nasty desert fauna.
After a lash with a wedge the ball rolled up onto the green and Dubuisson won the hole and forced the match to extra holes.
His performance earned him comparisons to the late Seve Ballesteros, whose remarkable short game earned him five major championships and a spot in the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Dubuisson eventually lost to Day, but made millions of new golf fans around the world and France has gained a new sports icon.

With the up and down attitude of the possible gun ban what is the thoughts of sitting on "Non FFL" parts VS finishing them and getting them into the books as "Pre-Ban, Grandfathered" items. The down side is they are then "Taxable" stock VS parts.

Apple gives iCloud users 5 GB of iCloud storage space. At first, 5 GB does not seem like a lot of storage space, however it is. For a majority of users it is plenty. For others, it isn't. This storage space is for backups, documents and data, and email only if you are using a @mac.com, @me.com, or @icloud.com address…
To look at your iCloud settings to see what you are syncing and backing up, on your iOS device, open up settings, then tap on iCloud. In terms of storage space, if you have Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari, Notes, Passbook (on iPhone) and Photo Stream turned on, these items do not take up any of the 5 GB of storage space. It is a good idea to have these on, as it allows the content to be synced to another iOS device, icloud.com, a Mac or a PC. It is also a good idea to turn these on, because what if you don't have an iCloud backup or an iTunes backup of your iOS device and something bad happens to your device? Backing up and syncing your Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari, Notes, and Passbook is free. Photo Stream is a different ball game.
Photo Stream doesn't take up part of the iCloud storage space, but you are NOT able to access it on icloud.com. Photo Stream pushes any new pictures you take or import to your other devices for a total of thirty days. Photo Stream stores your last thousand pictures, in which you can then save them permanently to your other device.
Now let's discuss how to check and see your iCloud storage. Tap on Storage & Backup.
On this screen, you will see your Total Storage and how much storage is available. I have used 3.7 GB. Down at the bottom it will ask you if you want to back up to iCloud. I highly recommend doing that, because for the most part it is very hassle free. he iCloud backup will:
Automatically back up your camera roll, accounts, documents and setting when this iPod Touch [iOS device] is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi.
If you scroll all the way down towards the bottom it will show you when the device was last backed up to iCloud.
To determine the size of the backup files press the manage storage button.
If you have multiple iOS devices backing up on iCloud, it will list all of them. I have "THREE" devices backing up to iCloud. It will also show you how much space Documents & Data are taking up. If you are using Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, by tapping on each one, it will show you the size and break down for you how big each file is, and gives you access to delete the file.
Also down at the bottom, if you are using a @mac.com, @me.com, or @icloud.com email address it will show you how much space your Mail takes.
Note my mail is on the bigger side of 1.6 GB. This makes sense. I have and been using my account for ten years, have five hundred emails in my inbox, have never deleted my sent email for the past five years, and still have my original welcome to .Mac emails. For a majority of users, their mail size is typically a handful of MB.
If you click on one of the devices that is not the one you are currently using, all you will see is when the Latest Backup occurred, the Backup Size, and will have the option to delete the backup.
If you tap on the device you are actually using, you will see when the Latest Backup occurred, the Backup size, will have the option to delete the backup but now you also have backup options.
Here it shows you what on your device is backing up and how big the file is for that app. For the majority of the apps they are rather small. A couple of MB or KB. You can leave everything on. They are so small and insignificant (in terms of storage, maybe not data) that by turning each one off in the hopes of saving room in your iCloud is a waste of time. What is going to eat up the majority of the room is the Camera Roll. The Camera Roll is the place on your device where the pictures are being saved after you take them. If that number is close to 5 GB, you will have to make room so that way iCloud can back up your device. Backing up your photos through iCloud is a good idea and it works great, but it isn't as ideal as one would like it to be. You cannot see the backup file itself. You cannot go into the backup file and just take the pictures out.
However, there are other options for backing up the photos that you take:
1. In iCloud, if you have the switch turned on for backing up the Camera Roll, it is going to back up EVERYTHING in your camera roll, the photos you backed up to your computer or Dropbox and your new pictures. iCloud doesn't know which pictures are saved elsewhere or not. iCloud is just going to back up all of the pictures in your Camera Roll. If you then want to continue to use iCloud to back up your device, you would have to delete the photos out of your camera roll. Then you should be able to do a backup. If not, delete the ENTIRE backup that contained the huge camera roll, and then redo a backup with nothing in your camera roll.
2. You can always turn the switch off for backing up the Camera Roll in iCloud, and then you will be able to back up the rest of the files and data on your iOS device.
3. Use Dropbox to back up your pictures on your iOS device. Next week's article will be about how to set up and use Dropbox.
4. Do not use iCloud. Back up your device the old fashion way. Plug it into your computer through iTunes. Press the Backup button.
5. Purchase more iCloud storage space. To do that you would press on the Change Storage Plan.
The iCloud packages are a yearly subscription. iCloud will charge the credit card you have on file associated with your Apple ID, or an iTunes gift card you have on file associated with your Apple ID.
My recommendations would be to do scenario 3 and scenario 5, as they are probably the easiest and most worry free.

While you make some great points, this article does not address what to do for heavy users, who have bought all the iCloud space Apple offers, uses the full capacity available for a given iOS device (57.3GB – iPhone 5), and has completely run out of space. I was forced to stop backing up my iPad about a year and a half ago when my first iPhone 4S (64GB) had reached capacity. The bulk of my storage has become photos(used to be split between my music until I decided streaming it would save space) but there are not any free or cheap alternatives that allow for photos to be synced to another cloud based service without paying $10-20/mo just for additional cloud storage. At that price, I'd rather go through the hassle of manually offloading my photos to an external hard drive every month. Any cheaper or less complicated suggestions?
"At first, 5 GB does not seem like a lot of storage space, however it is."
It's obviously not a lot of storage space if your final recommendations are buying more space or using an alternate service.
I own 4 iOS devices and have the on one apple ID account. So rather than reward a repeat and loyal customer Apple screws me by giving me 5GB for ALL the devices. Now if I chose to use each device on a separate Apple ID account then they would give me 20GB (5GB x 4) how does this make sense? I am getting tired of Apples attitude toward its customers. I for one REFUSE to pay a penny more for additional storage and as f today can no longer use iCloud to back up all 4 of my devices.
I know this article is mostly geared towards iOS users, but there is a bit of misleading info regarding Photo Stream (a part that pertains to Photo Stream on computers). In the article, it's stated
"Photo Stream pushes any new pictures you take or import to your other devices for a total of thirty days. Photo Stream stores your last thousand pictures, in which you can then save them permanently to your other device."
The first part is accurate, photos are in Photo Stream for 30 days to download to other devices; however, there isn't truly a 1,000 photo limit – it's just an iOS device can only remember 1,000 Photo Stream photos. If you take 2000 photos in 30 days, and buy a new Mac, Photo Stream will import all 2000 photos. An iOS device will remember the last 1000 photos that it saw in Photo Stream, but there may be more than 1000 there, if they were taken within 30 days. An iOS device will also show up to 1,000 photos even if those photos were taken months ago, as it has a memory of what has come through Photo Stream.
Photo Stream will allow 1,000 photos to be imported in 1 hour — 10,000 photos to be uploaded in 1 day — and 25,000 to be uploaded in 1 month. So you may have up to 25,000 photos in Photo Stream, but only see the the last 1,000 on an iOS device.
Get a new iOS device – Photo Stream will show up to 1,000 images taken over last 30 days. Get a new Mac and iPhoto will import up to 25,000 images taken over the last 30 days.
Trust me, I tested this by importing nearly 5,000 numbered images over a week, and then setting up a new Mac the following week. All images from last 30 days, did come over on my Mac, but was only able to see the last 1,000 on my iOS devices.
This is hands down the most helpful Photo Stream commentary. So thank you for that —
I consider myself tech-savvy but have found it an excruciating exercise to confirm that my purchase of the 100GB iCloud storage plan was doing what I intended it to do — i.e., back up ALL my photos. I understand that only the most recent 1,000 will be visible to iOS devices, but am I right to assume that all of my photos from my Camera Roll, which are set to automatically import to my Photo Stream, will all be available to download locally to a PC, etc., at some point in time, provided I don't exceed my 100GB limit?
Basically, I just want to make sure that every photo I take is backed up and available for viewing at a later point in time. I have been operating under that assumption, clearing my Camera Roll when I need to free up space, but wasn't quite clear as to how to VIEW all of the thousands of photos I'm assuming are stored [somewhere] … help! :)
Any idea how to manage the backup(s) of MAIL? My MAIL storage says 7.6 GB. I use 4 e-mail accts, one of which is .me the other three are aol. How can I manage these? I believe that the aol are backed up independently by aol.
Since you have 3 devices, as I do (iPhone, iPad, iMac), do you gave to have camera roll turned on for both mobile devices? or since iCloud pushes your photos to each device, it only needs to be turned on on one device. This is where I get confused. Is it redundant to have back up turned on both devices for camera roll, Pages, Numbers, etc…?
Is there a way to get photographs or app data to save directly from icloud onto a pc computer?

I put that same back on my iPhone, i love it
How to replace the back cover of an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s
If you've smashed the back of your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s, a replacement is fairly cheap and costs far less than a new iPhone. Not only that, this particular iPhone repair is one of the simplest of them all. The process is the same for both the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s. Replacing the back panel also fixes any issues you may have with a hazy camera or cracked lens since it's built in to the back panel. So if any of these issues sound like you, follow along and we'll walk you through.
Anytime you make any hardware repairs, make sure to do them in a dry, clean place. You don't want any liquid or dirt getting inside your device. I typically perform repairs on a cool, clean surface and use a few white sheets of printer paper. The paper makes it easy to spot screws. As always, be careful. With this particular walkthrough, remember that if you ever need to take your phone back to Apple for repair or replacement, you'll need to replace the default back.
What you need to replace the back of an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s
iMore recommends using only quality and genuine parts from a reputable supplier like eTech Parts. They have quality parts, tools, and much more for all your repair needs.
Note that the back covers are different for different models of the iPhone 4 so be sure that you select the correct link below. For example, if you have a Verizon or Sprint iPhone 4, you'll want to choose the CDMA back cover in whatever color you want. If you have an AT&T iPhone 4, you'll want to choose the GSM in whatever color iPhone 4 you have.
You can of course browse eTech's site for colors and designs. Many other companies make them as well. Just be aware that some backs that aren't OEM could cause reception issues, especially if they're metal. They also could be low quality. So just be certain you're checking reviews or asking for feedback before buying a non-stock back cover.
- iPhone 4 GSM back cover - Buy black, Buy white
- iPhone 4 CDMA back cover - Buy black, Buy white
- iPhone 4s back cover - Buy black, Buy white
- 5-point security screwdriver - Buy now
- Standard #000 Phillips screwdriver - Buy now
Taking off the back casing
With a #00 Phillips screwdriver, carefully remove the 2 screws located on each side of the charging port
Set the screws aside
Hold your phone with both hands and firmly but gently slide the back casing up by applying even pressure and pushing up
The back casing should simply slide up, you should then be able to lift it up and set it aside
Putting on the replacement
Line up the casing by sliding it in place from the top (slide down, opposite of how you removed the original back)
Firmly (still gently) slide the casing into place, you should hear it click into place
Replace the 2 screws by the charging port. Be careful not to screw them in too tight, as you could strip them.
You're done! You can now enjoy having a different back on your iPhone 4. This is great for users who have been waiting for the white iPhone as long as you're okay with the front not being white. (The front panel is replaceable as well, but the process is much more extensive.)
If you've modded your iPhone 4 (or any iPhone for that matter), post your pics in our forums and let us know how it went!

How to replace the back cover of an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s
I need to get that back, I wish they weren't on backorder right now. Sweet looking.
Thanks for the info. I was wondering how this worked...looks pretty easy to me.
BTW, looks like you can order a new back here:
Mine is taking forever to get here. Ordered it a month ago!
Tipb is a little behind I see. Maybe copying someone else video. On the 19th on youtube another person from another site made a video using the same back and explain how to change it. Take a look.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-96jZDHKE&feature=playerembedded Look how close they look alike.
I had that back on and my signal in poor reception areas (work) went from bad to worse. So I'm back to the stock glass.
Guys, a new casing on an iPhone 4 should have nothing to do with bad reception. The antennae is in the band. A back will not affect reception.
Allyson, Dan
I had the problem of signal reception when I put this back on my iPhone 4. I ordered the silver metal back without the bevel. While my signal didn't disappear completely it did drop one or two bars and when in a fairly low service area such as where I work where I only get 1 or 2 bars in the building, i could only get 1 bar and would drop into edge pretty easily and even searching and no service a few times whereas I have never not had service with the glass back or even my 3GS when I had it
Antennae? Do you have bugs in your phone? Perhaps you meant "the antenna is" or "the antennas are". At any rate, without trying this myself, I would think that a large sheet of metal in close proximity to the antennas could affect the signal. For one thing, you could have a shorting issue like antennagate, where your hand conducts between the antenna and the metal back. Even though the back isn't an antenna it could affect the impedance and tuning.
Allyson. Would this process be applied when replacing a shattered back with a new one? If so, would save $$.
A website called Missionrepair.com did a great job in repairing my shattered backing for around $100 with shipping.
Ordering a new glass back and repairing it yourself should save you money.
Just as the glass back is not solid glass, the "metal" back is not solid metal. it's plastic on the inside just like the glass back. So there should be no signal interferance. In fact I'd go so far as to say the metal back is a plastic finish and not actual metal. I love my metal back and its very durable, no signal loss. Ordered from cnn.cn
BTW. Just checked Missionrepair.com and they will replace a shattered back plate on iPhone 4 for less than $50.00 with shipping. Less than half of what I paid a few months ago.
Guys as one user pointed out, the backs are still plastic, not metal. Still not buying the loss of signal stuff. Sorry. I had no loss whatsoever with this back and I had it on for a full month. Maybe longer.
/ Easily, the publish is rlealy the greatest on this laudable topic. I concur with your conclusions and will thirstily look forward to your future updates. Saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the fantastic lucidity in your writing. I will instantly grab your rss feed to stay privy of any updates. Solid work and much success in your business enterprise!
Oh yea forgot that if you don't experiance the problem the surely it doesnt exist lol.
Go stick a key next to the antenna on these phones and watch the signal drop. Same theory. It's in the vicinity of it and it messes with the reception. Maybe not for all of us but for some of us it does.
Bonjour j\'ai telecharger le fwrmiare 3.1.2 au moin 10 fois et c\'est toujours le meme fichier mais quand je veux downgrader mon iphone c\'est a dire passer de la 3.1.3 a la 3.1.2 je fait shift + restaure9 sur itune je veux ouvrir le dossier mais sa me dit aucun element je peut pas ouvrir le fwrmiare et je comprend pas pourquoi pourtant c\'est un format ipsw mais ce que je ne comprend pas aussi c\'est les gens qui on laisse9 une vide9o l\'on sur leur bureau mais c\'est une icone avec une note de musique tous sa une belle icone alors que moi sur mon bureau c\'est un dossier jaune normal quoi il doit me manquer un logiciel ou autre surement pouvez vous m\'aider?
I ordered the same case 3 weeks ago, but I think I may have gotten a defective one. Somehow the screws are not being held by the case. The original iPhone 4 Case has metal inside where the screw goes but the replacement case is al plastic and just has the holes. So Therefore If I slightly push the case it will slide off easily. Anyone else had similar problems
How's about the front! Mine is cracked. Another vid pls...quoted about $130-150 to replace!!!
@StevO Jobso I also found that I had that issue when I removed it from my phone.
@Jason - I never said that. I've seen several people replace backs on phones. I think people exaggerate issues that aren't there. Like anntenagate, that was ridiculous as well. All phones lose reception if you hold them where the antenna is covered. Things are frequently blown out of proportion.
@StevO Jobso
i noticed this on one of my backs. the left screw would continuously rotate no matter how tight i tried to screw it in, it never took. i think this problem has to do with the plastic, as you stated. the hole is a tiny bit too big and the screw just turns and turns and never catches. if you have this issue, send it back and request a new one. the holes can be hard to cut exactly to size. the one i got from cnn.cn was perfect
@Daniel - if you would have watched the video, you may of noticed i already mentioned this. when i took pics with flash, i got a bit of black or white in the right hand corners of the pics, due to the flash reflecting off the casing back to itself. a little annoying but i use flash about 1 time a month, if that, so it never bothered me.
I put the brushed aluminum back from cnn on my iphone as well. I love the look of it but I was disappointed that the apple logo and fcc info was not protected at all. I didn't want it to get scratched off in pocket sliding so I sprayed it with polyurethane before I installed it. It worked awesome...its like I have a homemade invisible shield on my phone (i covered the camera lens with a custom cut piece of screen protector and removed it when finished). I do have the stripped screw hole issue, but I use the apple bumper on my phone so I don't have to worry about the back coming off or the screws falling out. I'm sure you could fill a stripped hole with gorilla glue, let it dry, then rethread with the screws as well if that issue bothers you. Home Depot plus iPhone parts...who would have thought they would benefit each other!
Thanks for explaining how to do this. Normally I wouldn't attempt to try something like this, for fear of shattering the glass, but you made it look super simple, that I think I could handle this. Great video, and very much appreciated. =)
little late i know, dont know if you will see it but..
"Like anntenagate, that was ridiculous as well. All phones lose reception if you hold them where the antenna is covered."
no one is arguing that, certainly not me at least. but the issue is, with the iphone 4, you can easily cover the antenna with for what most people would consider a normal holding position. metal in the area will also effect the antenna on this phone, look up youtube videos where people will lay it on a table, take a key, and put it in the vicinity, not touching, just near the antenna and they loose service. this metal back could easily do the same and it does for a few of us. me being one of them. although it doesnt effect me that much, it still does.
It took over a month to arrive, then took me 10 minutes to swap the back. Sadly, it also took about 10 minutes for the apple logo to scratch (didn't think about coating with polyurethane).
I'm still fairly happy with it - I know front from back when I pick it up, which is what I was going for.
To:LovI have the newest version of iPod touch and your suppose to hold it down 4 seconds NOT tap it 2 times
The World Political field has gone to crap over the past couple elections due to extreme polarization. We need to stand up for our rights and take back our world from Big Pharma, Big Tobbacco, Big Insurance and really just big companies. It is time for our elections to stop being stolen.

I would like to trade a complete FCG from a Polish Tantal (I beleive It is complete) for a FCG and a regular AK safety selector switch. I built my Tantal on a regular AK74 receiver.
EDIT: I will trade for a regular ak selector lever only, A foriegn FCG would be nice but not required. I had to use one of the regular selector levers to build my tantal on a regular receiver

"This young girl and the man from Quebec have no connection and were located in different areas of the United States," the Sheriff's Office said on its facebook page. "Hundreds of people all over the United States helped in this search and we are greatly appreciative."
(End update)
Law enforcement agencies from all across the continent are working with the Hillsville Police Department on a possible kidnapping case in Hillsville.
Hillsville Police Department Sgt./Investigator James "Junior" Alderman said the FBI, Virginia State Police, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Lachute Police in Canada are all working with local authorities after HPD Captain Jason Hawks received a call from the Quality Inn Hotel in Hillsville on Thursday advising that housekeeping found a handwritten note from a child named Jasmine Hines claiming to be "missing." Alderman said a search of national, state and local databanks for missing children has yet to come up with a missing person by that name.
Police determined that on November 28, a man named Pierre Morand, of Lachute, Quebec checked into the Quality Inn Hotel, located at Exit 14 on Interstate 77, and rented a room for one person. A later check of video surveillance footage revealed that the man appeared to have a young girl traveling with him, although Alderman said the video quality is very poor. Pierre is seen checking out of the hotel and leaving in a white mini-van with what appears to be two bicycles on a rack on the back.
Police are asking for assistance in locating Morand and attempting to verify the welfare of the young child traveling with him.
Alderman said authorities believe Morand is headed to Florida on vacation. Authorities are looking for him in Florida and are also trying to contact a family from Pennsylvania that recently stayed in the Quality Inn with a name similar to Jasmine Hines.
"As of right now I want to stress we don't know that anybody has done anything wrong. The note is asking for help and we are trying to help. It could be a case of wrong place, wrong time, but it is something that is a health and welfare check to make sure nobody is missing, everyone is okay," Alderman said. "We hope to resolve it quickly. But we don't know if the note was written last night or 30 days ago. That's the negative…we don't know, but we are checking every avenue."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Captain Jason Hawks or Investigator Junior Alderman with the Hillsville Police Department at 276-728-2251 or the Carroll County Sheriff's Office at 276-728-4146.

(Thanks to a busy schedule, it's been a month since MusicfestNW took over Portland and I still haven't published daily recaps of my experience. My bad. Still, I think seeing 20 of the coolest bands going over three days is worth documenting, even belatedly. So below, you'll find Day 3. Day 1 is here and Day 2 is here. And if you'd like to read my overview of the festival's highlights that ran in print, click here.)
One of the great things about events like Portland's MusicfestNW is the shoulder-to-shoulder variety. You can see a funk legend and then a futuristic electro-pop duo and then a throwback '90s indie rock band like I did on Day 1 of this year's festival. Or you can see a local pop-rock band followed by a white-hot hip-hop artist followed by a quiet, heart-wringing female singer-songwriter like I did on Day 2. (And that's without venturing out to the venues that focused on electronic, metal, jazz and country!)
Or you can do what I did on Saturday night of MusicfestNW 2011 and see seven bands that all fall somewhere on the post/punk/psych/rock/metal/drone spectrum.
The part of me that digs that particular musical spectrum has been growing over the past few years; after a lifetime of pop-rock, twang and hip-hop, I have found myself increasingly attracted to the sludgy, spacey, squealy sounds of good ol' psychedelic rock bands. So I was excited for Saturday's lineup.
That excitement was tempered, perhaps, by two things. 1) I was tired. By Saturday afternoon, I'd grown cranky and indecisive; I skipped a bunch of sweet day parties with free music and food in favor of shopping for records and sitting, quietly, in a Big Town Hero with a Diet Coke and an alt-weekly in an effort to chill. I am not proud. And 2) That night's headliner at the Doug Fir, the fine British pop band The Vaccines, canceled just days before the festival because of health issues. There are a lot of great acts at MusicfestNW, but that cancellation took out one of the bands I was most excited to see.
Anyway, Saturday began at 4 p.m. at Pioneer Courthouse Square, "Portland's living room," as it's known, in the middle of downtown. There, one of my favorite artists ever — Matthew Cooper, aka Eluvium — had the unenviable task of playing ambient music for a mid-afternoon crowd on what might have been the hottest day of the year. I loved every second of it, but I can certainly understand how passers-by (and even many folks who showed up early to get a good spot for the evening's headliner, Explosions in the Sky) might've thought, "What the hell is this noise?" Well, that noise is some of the most mind-bendingly beautiful music being made these days by one of the most inventive musicians of the past decade. Here's a long sample; please note that all I did for most of the time was hang the camera from my wrist while filming. Whatever you see here was the intent.

Williams opens with 'awkward' win over Giorgi
Complete FCC coverage
To read more coverage of the Family Circle Cup, go to postandcourier.com/familycirclecup.
In the movie of Serena Williams' life, Tuesday's routine 6-2, 6-3 dismissal of Camila Giorgi at the Family Circle Cup will wind up on the cutting room floor.
As the new documentary "Venus and Serena" — out on iTunes this week and due in theaters on May 13 — will show, the life of the reigning queen of women's tennis is stuffed full of trophies, winnings and drama.
"It was a great time for the movie to capture," said Serena, who along with Venus allowed cameras to follow her during an injury plagued 2011 season. "I had sort of fallen from grace."
The story of how Serena, 31, recovered from a life-threatening pulmonary embolism — she still has to give herself shots before she flies in an airplane — to reclaim the No. 1 spot surely will be compelling to watch.
Serena, the oldest player to be ranked No. 1, seems in a good place after the travails of 2011. She recently did a makeover on her Paris apartment, going for a shabby chic feel with neutral colors and "lots of pink." She surprised fans in Miami last week by riding a rental bike from her hotel to the tournament site to avoid traffic.
"I really don't do bicycles," she confessed.
Her win Tuesday over the 21-year-old Giorgi, ranked No. 85, was less compelling. But for Serena — who won her 48th career title in Miami just three days earlier, on hardcourts — the quick transition to the green clay of Billie Jean King Court was satisfying.
"It was definitely not great for me," said Williams, who took a three-set win over Maria Sharapova in the Miami finals. "I think I played well, but I wasn't great footing-wise, just trying to get my stability. But it feels good, because I felt like I played somebody really good today."
Serena jumped to a 3-0 lead over Giorgi, who caught Williams' eye by making the fourth round at Wimbledon last year.
The Italian, making her second appearance at the Family Circle up, stretched Williams out a bit after that, and forcing her to three match points before sailing a forehand long.
"A little awkward today," Williams, wearing a neon orange top and a blue skirt, told the crowd afterward.
The fans hardly cared, as they seem eager to watch Williams claim a third Family Circle Cup title. That would put her behind only Chris Evert (eight) and Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf (four each) in the storied 41-year history of the tournament.
To get there, Serena might have to go through 2009 champ Sabine Lisicki in the third round and sister Venus, the 2004 winner, in the semifinals.
"I'm not playing great clay-court tennis yet," Serena said. "But I'm glad I came here, so I can get ready for what will hopefully be another good clay court season."
Serena's dominating run to the Family Circle Cup title last year seemed to herald good things for her clay court season, but she lost in the first round at the French Open.
Of course, she made up for that with wins at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open and an Olympic gold medal, providing a suitable epilogue for the movie.
Who knows? This year could bring a sequel.

White House awaiting Gen. Allen decision
The White House said Friday that Gen. John Allen's nomination to lead NATO is on hold while Allen decides whether he will take the post.
"Gen. Allen has said that, as he considers his next assignment, that he wanted to spend some time talking to his family about what he'd like to do next," deputy press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One. "And that's certainly something that is understandable given what he's been up to the last 19 months. And so we're happy to give him the opportunity to consider what he would like to do next."
POLITICO's Stephanie Gaskell reported Wednesday that Allen, who was most recently posted in Afghanistan, is seriously considering retiring.

Art meets garden at 49th Crosby Festival of the ArtsWritten by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
by Michelle Li, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
On June 28 and 29, Toledo Botanical Garden will display the work of more than 200 artists for the 49th annual Crosby Festival of the Arts.
Beginning at 10 a.m. June 28, the public can admire and purchase works representing 10 categories — including jewelry, ceramics, painting, and sculpture — for an $8 general admission fee. Toledo Botanical Garden members and children younger than 12 are free.
Matt Killam, marketing and events manager for the Garden, said that for Toledo's size, the variety of art appearing at the festival is outstanding.
"I'm proud to say that we represent local artists as much as possible, but it is a nationwide exhibit," he said. "It's kind of neat to walk through an art festival in Toledo, Ohio, and have 46 states represented."
Visitors also have the option to attend the Preview Gala Party on June 27. Tickets, available online for $75 each, include an all-you-can-eat dinner.
Mr. Killam said the preview party provides a unique opportunity to interact more closely with the artists.
"It's an outdoor cocktail party with fine art you can walk through, uninhibited by large crowds," he said.
Both the festival and its preview party will feature live music. Food will also be available for festival-goers throughout the weekend.
Killam said he believes this atmosphere makes the festival a "full family experience."
"It's a really good way to see a lot of fine art that's approachable," he said. "It's a garden, which on the outside might appear not to be for children, but that's not how we feel about it. The event really runs the full gamut, and we're proud to have that experience."
For those who need transportation to the festival, a free shuttle service will be available from the Meijer located at 7240 W. Central Ave.
Upon arriving at the festival, visitors can obtain maps illustrating the locations of different artists and mediums, which are spread throughout the entire garden.
While Toledo Botanical Garden presents more challenges than a more straightforward fairground-style venue, Killam said the value the garden brings to the festival is worth the extra effort in layout design.
"Because there's a lot of moving pieces to it, it's a really organic — if you'll excuse a pun — event," he said. "The truth of the matter is, the garden means so many different things to so many different people."
For the artists, those meanings come to life in the work they display. At the festival, they have the opportunity to sell their works as well as win awards from a jury panel.
"This is the largest juried outdoor art show around," Killam said. "You might find something you're missing for your home, but even just putting your eyes on them is really neat."
He added that he is already looking forward to next year's 50th anniversary festival.
"We try to pay homage to what we've done before that's been classically well-received, but also move it forward in a direction that people find neat, approachable and exciting," he said. "It's a long-standing [event] in the Toledo area. There's something for everybody, and at a time when people are desperately looking for inexpensive ways to enrich their lives, I think that this event really brings that to them."
Festival hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. June 28 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 29.

or if you want a actual mg42 from germany is gonna be about $1200
then if you want a WLA repair section, get on it quick they are almost all gone... $850
then you need pirates FAL FCG set up thinnk thats about $170
and the bolt conversion another $170 or close to it.
a barrel bushing for $125
and you should be ready to go... im not but just a few minutes away from 555th if you need some help in getting it together.
but you wont need any help as many guns as you've built. maybe just a phone call or 2.
oh that seems like some large expenses but when your done you got a $3k gun for less than half if you go with the yugo.
and yes Pirates stuff is top of the line!! couldnt have done this build without him and his help.
if your serious let me know and i'll throw you some links on kits.

Emily Ellis is an artist with an unusual wish list: she regrets that she was not born with gills.
"I have always wished I had fins; I love water," said Ellis.
Ellis got in touch with her primal roots at an early age when she first began painting and created an almost imaginary friend that has wings and appendages.
Ellis's first grade teacher noticed that the budding artist's paintings were different and called a conference with her parents.
"She told them that my paintings were just different. She didn't know if they were bad different or good different, but just that they were different," she recalls.
So, at age 9, Ellis's parents enrolled her in art classes in her hometown of
"I was so young and my parents were so encouraging," she said. "I am lucky to have a supportive family."
Ellis went on to earn a degree in fine art from
Through the years she has continued with her initial gut feelings in creating artwork and continues to paint mostly animals she sees in magazines. Her primal friend has stuck around through the years also, but it has evolved to take on a more human and up-right form.
Ellis is the featured artist of the month at Coastal Branch Library this month in a solo exhibit she calls "Decadal Evolution," as a tip of the hat to the show's content.
The exhibit is made up of 25 of Ellis's works that span through four decades of Ellis's adventure in establishing herself as an artist, including some of her very early work created during her high school years.
Ellis's subject matter continues to revolve around the natural world, which she sees as abstract and organic.
She prefers to paint the world she sees in neutral shades.
She also prefers to do large paintings, which she began doing in grad school, and has begun working with free form. She describes free form as having a straight top edge with a bottom shredded edge of form and canvas.
And as for her fondness of alien creatures, she says her more recent works are more realistic, and she has begun collecting photos of animal eyes in various media.
"Sometimes I take parts and pieces of different work and then put them back together in a new creation. It's all kind of abstract. And I have no problem with people seeing what they want in my artwork," said Ellis.
Several pieces of her artwork have won awards.
One piece's inspiration was a narrative of a story about a spider and a measuring worm. When she exhibits this painting, she includes the story.
"I function better as a visual individual rather than a verbal one. In many cases my works are visual solutions to verbal problems," she said.
Ellis has made her home on five acres of
"This area is my stomping grounds," says Ellis fondly. "My grandmother used to chaperone dances at Butler Store in the 1920s. I would come down here and airbrush T-shirts for tourists. Creating art is the result of something in me that I've had to do. It has to come out. And, photography is a big inspiration."
This is Ellis's eighth solo show and most pieces are large. She has also exhibited through the Cultural Arts Alliance, in
Ellis's artwork will be on exhibit at Coastal Branch Library through July 31, and viewable Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
For more information email Ellis at email@example.com.

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Denard Span's double in the bottom of the 10th inning brought home the winning run for the Twins, as Minnesota salvaged the final game of a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals, winning 4-3.
Trevor Plouffe tied the game in the bottom of the ninth with a solo homer, his 21st of the season. Glen Perkins (3-1) pitched two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win.
Francisley Bueno (1-1) was saddled with the loss. He came out to start the bottom of the 10th and gave up a leadoff double to Alexi Casilla before giving up Span's game-winner.
"It's something that you have to build on, we're a team that wants to finish strong," said Plouffe. "We don't want to go out losing a bunch of games."
Kansas City scored twice in the first inning. Alcides Escobar singled and advanced to second after Twins starting pitcher Liam Hendriks walked Alex Gordon. Billy Butler grounded out to third to move the runners over and Perez singled up the middle to drive both runners home. With the base hit, he extend his hitting streak to 17 games.
The Twins got a run back in the bottom half of the inning when Josh Willingham hit a solo homer in the first to cut the Royals' lead in half.
Kansas City starter Luis Mendoza pitched effectively and allowed just a single run. He tossed six solid frames - fanning six - and did not give up a hit over his final five innings of work.
The Royals built their lead back up to two when David Lough led the top of the fifth off with his first career triple. After Hendriks struck out Gordon, Butler doubled to deep center field to plate Lough, giving the Royals a 3-1 lead.
Before Plouffe's game tying homer in the ninth, the Twins drew within one in the eighth. Drew Butera was hit by a pitch with one out and moved to second on pinch-hitter Chris Parmelee's base hit through the right side. Span hit into a force out at second, putting runners on the corners before Ben Revere drew a walk to load the bases. Willingham came to bat and Royals manager Ned Yost summoned Greg Holland from the bullpen.
"Holland had to get a four out save and he ended up walking Willingham," said Yost. "He then got a fastball up to Plouffe that tied it up."
Perkins allowed a one-out double to Gordon in the top of the tenth. Butler came to the plate. He took a second strike and argued the call with the umpire, which got him tossed from the game. Tony Pena finished his at-bat and struck out on the first pitch he saw. Perkins then got Mike Moustakas to ground out after to end the inning.
Hendriks lasted five innings for the Twins. He allowed three runs on seven
hits, while striking out two and walking three ... He is just the fifth
pitcher since 1920 to fail to win a game in his first 17 Major League starts
... Escobar extended his hitting streak to nine games ... Royals' Lorenzo Cain
left the game in the bottom of the 10th inning with a leg injury after
attempting a diving catch on Casilla's double.

Coronal Synostosis
Plagiocephaly involves fusion of either the right or left side of the coronal suture that runs from ear to ear. This is called coronal synostosis and it causes the normal forehead and the brow to stop growing. Therefore, it produces a flattening of the forehead and the brow on the affected side, with the forehead tending to be excessively prominent on the opposite side. The eye on the affected side may also have a different shape. There may also be flattening of the back area (occipital). Unilateral lambdoidal suture synostosis may cause plagiocephaly, as well.

I have been waiting to JB my new iPad and I'll continue to wait. However, I do not think that the added trouble is worth a teathered JB. I'll have to wait until something comes out.
Commercialization of JB's will speed up the process but there are too many people with their hands out and not willing to pay for "open source" programming.
Are tethered Jailbreaks worth the hassle?
Right now certain models ofiPhones, iPod touches, and iPads running iOS 4.2.1 can only be Jailbroken via the "tethered" method which means they need to be plugged into your Windows or Mac PC and rebooted via a program, redsn0w. Not just to Jailbreak them, mind you, but anytime you need to reboot your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. Forget whether you should Jailbreak or not, tethered Jailbreaks require so many extra steps, do the benefits still make up for the hassle?
Finish jailbreaking. Reboot. Update Cydia. Reboot. Update Cydia again. Reboot. Install a Jailbreak app or tweak. Reboot. Install another. Reboot. Hang or crash. Reboot. Run out of power. Reboot.
And it's not just a simple reboot, you have to run redsn0w, power off your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, find your firmware on your PC, load the firmware into redsn0w, let it process, make sure you uncheck Jailbreak and check Untethered boot, put your device into DFU mode, then let redsn0w work its tethered reboot magic.
Every. Time.
As Jailbreak Forum members will attest, real hax0rs don't mind tethered Jailbreaks, but compared to an untethered Jailbreak it's a pain in the @$$, especially when you have a lot of new, or updated stuff you want to install. But then you get to use things like AirVideoEnabler which lets any AirPlay app send video to Apple TV, among a lot of other very useful apps. And you get to Jailbreak an iPad running iOS 4.2, the first iOS 4 version available for iPad, which is a tremendous upgrade in its own right.
Sure Comex and his miraculous userland exploits will probably make 4.2 an untethered Jailbreak before the end of the year, but iOS 4.2.2 or iOS 4.3 or iOS 5 will eventually come around and, if we want the latest firmware, we might be back to tethered for a while. Is it worth it?

Are tethered Jailbreaks worth the hassle?
I have been waiting to JB my new iPad and I'll continue to wait. However, I do not think that the added trouble is worth a teathered JB. I'll have to wait until something comes out.
I'm pretty happy with pure. I jailbreak for fun, but tethered isn't fun.
Stop discouraging people from jailbreaking, 99% of the packages on cydia don't need a reboot after installing, just a respring. You barely need to reboot. Locking it uses less battery than turning it on anyway.
It's not a wild guess that Steve Jobs probably despises jailbreaking. The more people jailbreak, the harder he's going to lean on his engineering groups (hardware and software) to kill jailbreaking once and for all. Removing the jailbreak-detection API from iOS just might be the first step toward that ultimate goal. Why announce your jailbreak-detection scheme to the public?
I've been on the tethered JB on my iP4 for about 3ish weeks and haven't had a single reboot issue at all. To me it's worth it for sure!
Up until yesterday after receiving a new iPhone 4, my 3GS was always running untethered jailbreaks. I'd have to say that I'm not a fan of tethered but it's better than nothing when u already have or or must have the latest firmware. When I checked my new iPhones firmware I was hoping it would have been running 4.1 but no luck. Had my LimeRa1n all ready to go but nooooo....
I refuse to update my phone to 4.2.1 and I am staying on 4.1 until there is a STABLE JB.
Also, I won't even JB my ipad due to numerous issues.
does respringing require you to reconnect your iphone to a pc in a tehtered jailbreak ?
I must be confused.
I have an iPhone 3G running 4.2.1, jailbroken with Pwnage and unlocked with Ultrasn0w. And, to my knowledge, it's an untethered jailbreak.
Am I wrong?
Or, should this article be changed to indicate that jailbreaks are "tethered-only" right now for iPhone 4 devices and iPhone 3GS devices that have a newer bootrom?
No, it's not worth it to me. I'll never do a tethered jailbreak. I'm still on 4.0.1 and may stay there. I love jailbreaking and all the amazing functionality that it adds. Be that as it may, I get tired of all the cat and mouse games and having to get all my programs back. I customize literally every aspect of my phone; constantly mixing one theme w/another. As well as to many tweaks and apps to remember. Even the apps that allow you to back up your packages gets annoying because some apps don't work on that firmware. Subsequently you have to weed out which ones are and aren't compatible. It's just a mess but a mess I'm willing to live w/because of all the benefits. Even so, I draw the line w/tethered jailbreaks. I'm still on the fence about updating to 4.2.1. I have everything that I need on 4.0.1. Do I really want HDR, Search text in Safari, & Find My iPhone? As of now, no.
People need to stop jailbreaking at all, period. I think I express an opinion held by many, that jailbreaking is as much about stealing apps and other media, which hurts the
App ecosystem for everyone and inhibits Apples efforts to get the old media dinosaurs to entrust more content with Apple more cheaply. So yeah, knock it off, for all our sakes, Apple knows what they are doing.
No. It's gonna be OK for a long time and then suddenly you reboot (a random crash or must do it because of problems) and suddenly you're without a phone. Maybe you'll never do it but that one occasion if yes will be hell. From experience. And with Apple's baseband check, jb restore (and jailbreaking in general) is becomig a hassle.
Running the tethered jailbreak right now for the first time and it's a huge inconvenience. This is the first time I've questioned whether or not jailbreaking was a hassle and, in terms of the whole "plug in to reboot" process, it's an extreme pain and not worth it if you plan on actually utilizing your iDevice for more than calls or texts. I can't wait for Santa to bring an untethered jailbreak by Christmas (as comex
You should learn to think before you speak, or at least google for crying out loud.
No, jailbreaking does not mean stealing apps. LESS than 38% of users have ever installed jb apps to pirate. That isn't nearly all. Oh and next time you want to bash it, thank jailbreakers for your precious "app store and Ecosystem". You say knock it off, I say (and its fact) that MOST apple iOS "innovations" are just rip offs of the jailbreak community. Cydia was THE first app store with a purchasing system. Installer was the first app store ever. Thanks to jailbreakers. Folders, available in jailbreak first. Pages, jailbreak. Multitasking, jailbreak.
So before you bash something you obviously know nothing about, do some research first.
If you are a smart person, that just install What is really needed and safe, you wont need to restart that much. I never restart my ip4. Respring is needed for most apps i install, not restart
Only Theifs Jailbreak! Thats a fact....
My tethered jailbreak has been working great on my iPad - probably rebooted twice in about a month and its not a true tethered jailbreak - your iPad/Phone/Touch will still boot, but you won't be able to launch any of the jailbroken apps (although some mobile substrate apps may restrict this).
@Ally That 38% statistic is over a year old. Who knows how much more skewed that number is, let alone how accurate it was to begin with. Piracy has gotten much more sophisticated and crackers have been much more resilient - I would know, I'm in a bunch of dev circles that have anti-piracy methods in place and it's a big cat and mouse game. And, two-thirds of statistics are made up on the spot.
I've been waiting for an untethered jailbreak for a while now. I've have never jailbroken my phone, but want to try it. I just don't feel that a tethered jailbreak is worth the hassle.
What happens if I were to reboot your phone without having it plugged in to your computer? Would I brick my phone? Or would it reboot to factory settings?
I played around with my cousin's jailbroken iPod this past weekend and decided it's time to do it. I just don't want the trouble of a tethered jailbreak. I'm not always near a computer. So if I were out somewhere and really needed to reboot, I would be screwed.
@McNessie ultrasn0w Is not a jailbreak it's an unlock
My iPad is running jailbroken iOS 3.x and will stay that way until and unless an untethered solution presents itself for 4.x. I have to reboot my iPad multiple times per week. Not a whole lot, but often enough hat it'd be a $;&@ing pain to be tethered every time.
I would love to experience Apple's "multitasking" but it will just have to wait. I can't stand the asstastic YouTube, Netflix, and other iPad 3G video you get "pure." Toss in the 20MB download limit, too.
If this was iOS 3.x the yes, it would be worth it. I just went through the tethered jabreak on 4.2.1 and all I can say is "never again". I have never had so many issues with the iPhone. Slowness, bricking when putting apps in folders (which of course meant I had to boot tethere yet again) and Cydia losing my installed app list. There is also way too much micro-managing that needs to be done to make sure it all works the way you want it to.
At this point, my only "must haves" from the jailbreak are Bite SMS for the quick texting and LockInfo. PDA Net is a tweener. Folder expander is close but I can live without it.
Without app-switching in iOS 4 I could never go without Bite SMS. It is at least tolerable now. LockInfo is tough to say goodbye to, but I am hoping something like Pocket Informant can compensate somewhat.
I don't see myself jailbreaking again, even untethered. The benefit compared to the amount of work it takes to stay ahead of the upgrade race with Apple just isn't what it used to be.
IMO not worth the pain. I am sticking to 4.1 to use the usual jailbreak benefits but not going to upgrade to 4.2 with a tethered one.
Just don't upgrade until an untethered jailbreak is available. I'm still running untethered, jailbroken 4.1 and don't feel any desire to upgrade -- not sure I'll go to the trouble even when an untethered 4.2 becomes available. I don't see anything the upgrade would give me that I want and can't get already through a jailbreak app.
You aren't presenting statistics either though. All you have to do is loom at download statistics for certain apps to get an idea how bad it is, and it isn't. I know developers and deal with it as a developer too.
But to say all jailbreakers pirate or that it should be illegal is skewed and unfair. It's give and take. You want your innovations and inprovement for iOS? You won't get many without jailbreakers. :O
I find updating useless I'm on 3.1.3 anything that's offerered in iOS 4 is mostlikely already a Cydia App I use MyWii Proswitcher and winterboard
i have a funny feeling that most people who are against the tethered jailbreak 1) have not personally tried it and or 2) got to frustrated with it, restored and gave up. For anyone that has any common sense and would like something to get them by until the UNtethered is released, this is a wonderful option. oh well, their loss our gain
I have one thing to say about this 'article'. Bullpucky. Why?
Install tweak. RESPRING. Install App. RESPRING. Install Cydia update. RESPRING.
Not restart. Not reboot. Most of the time, users will respring. You do NOT need to tether to RESPRING.
To the blogger: Learn to know the difference before you whine about the tethered jailbreak. In fact, just to be contrarian, I hope the DevTeam takes their time and discourages more whiners and pirates from jailbreaking. Given the piracy from Crapulous etal maybe it's not in the best interest for an 'untethered jailbreak' to be released.
It is worth the trouble if you know what you're doing or need tweaks like FullForce. Or your own hostfile. Or 3GUnrestrictor. Or Apps that have been banned from the AppStore that the Dev still wants to sell to their loyal userbase. A certain CBR/CBZ comic reader comes to mind. And the current AppStore offerings don't even come close.
I've only had to REBOOT one time with my iPad. And that was for the FIRST core Cydia update. Now I have insane uptime as I have not rebooted my iPad since the jailbreak. That's a testament to the iPhone-Devs, Saurik and Apple their own bad selves.
Do you think that Jailbreak will be dead in a year? Eventually, we'll all have to buy new iphones/ipods, and they'll already have 4.21 (or higher) installed. Eventually, Apple will lock down all security holes, preventing jailbreak, and only those with older devices/ios's will still be able to jailbreak :(
I did upgrade to 4.2 for the benefits of a few apps and a particular game that looked appealing......i gave up after 3 hours of the following while re-installing apps etc
Update Cydia.....REBOOT......Update app......REBOOT.....re-install app......GUESS WHAT REBOOT!!!!
yeah i know i wont need to reboot once i get everything re-installed, but getting there takes bloody ages. I have soo much installed on my phone that needs to be rebooted once installed i gave up.....yes i know what is involved in a tethered jailbreak and what it entails but im laz....simple as.
It wouldnt be so bad if there was an option to 'reboot later', so i could install all the apps i need and do the reboot in one go. But as it is im staying put.
As for saying jailbreaking will be dead within a year, i dont think so....the jailbreak team will always find a way through...nothing is fully hack proof
IP4 4.2.1 03.10.01 Tethered Jailbroken
I can't seem to get past the first respring, it crashes with the white SWOD over the pineapple, and doesn't move...and that's with adding nothing from cydia, except SSH.
If I don't respring and just close cydia everything works, but I would like to make some springboard and theme mods, i.e. no clock, no carrier, but when I do, and then reboot or respring, it crashes...
Any ideas ?
Thank you
No. Just respring your device. Its just as good as rebooting it. Once your tethered, the only reason to actually reboot, is if you feel your phones been running a bit sluggishly. Or of course you let it run out of power...
ONCE YOU JAILBREAK via TETHER. USE THE "respring" OPTION. It's a 'soft reboot' that DOES NOT require a PC. Having a tethered jail-break also allows you to restore you iPhone to factory defaults, so you can say; sell your iPhone as NOT jail-broken (and not be lying). Thus 'losing' your warranty is just an empty threat from Apple because as long as its a tethered jail-break... your in the clear... I've been to the apple store after i jail-broke my iphone and they had NO idea (KEEP IN MIND YOU MUST DELETE ALL JAILBREAK RELATED FILES, which show up in your camera roll after restore...)
PS. Jail-breaking is not for the feint of heart. Go get your nerd friends.
