Plese give me my black and slate ipad mini ;-)
I think ipad mini is amazing. It has the same camera as ipad 4. Better display than ipad2. And it came with smaller size. It is easy to bring everywhere.. Ipad mini will dominate the 7inch tablet market. "Ipad Mini. The smallest ipad since ipad" ....
i really need this one
Wish I had some cash to buy one, this would be so helpful for school. Well, hope I win!!!
I would like to be lucky winner of iPad Mini. Thanks iMore :D
I want a black iPad mini!!!! so sexy
I have ipad 2 and i think ipad mini more mobile my days, wish i have it.
I would love to have an iPad mini!
I still can't believe they made an iPad mini! I'm thinking of it as the iPad being Papa bear, iPod touch being baby bear, and now, iPad mini as mama bear. It's a whole family!
I would like to get ipad mini in white color.
This stuff is really gorgeous, I'd love to have one!!
Thanks iMore :D
iPad Mini giveaway...!! Wow!! iMore, I want this one... OMG!!! :) You are going great!! :)
Typical apple - wins on looks alone - ok the tech specs are not the latest and greatest - but you do get a sublime looking device which is perfect size for ibooks - the ipad was a little too much like an encyclopedia - this is perfect size 10/10 for reading, bit of surfing, gaming and watching vids.
I guess apple were in a strange position you release same specs (retina and A6) as full blown ipad - then you erode the market share too much, but then create a smaller compact version of earlier model (IPAD 2) and you have something which is still very accessible and works well - (just no super fancy retina display) - its going to create the same scenario as the macbook and macbook pro - just in tablet zone.
Would of argued for cheaper pricing - but then it is a premium product which should create a whole new range of followers.
Now just got to sell all that I own to afford one - would be great to get my hands on one.
I actually think that the original iPad is slightly too big, and that the mini fills what I would want in a tablet better. the original sized iPad for content creation, and the mini, similar to what the Nexus 7 is designed for, as a media consumption device.
iPad Mini give-away comment
entering my first contest here, hopefully ill win!!! i could definitely use it. if i win, ill donate my iPad 1 to someone here in need as a good gesture!!
Mine Mine Mine....! (nemo style)
Love the new size factor, only wonder how can I go back from the retina display. Also wish Apple would introduce a handwriting recognition input à la Newton; I am a stylus person :-)
Quite amazed that apps for the ipad 10inch will run on ipad minis. It was the other way around for the ipad 1, 2 and 3 with the iPhone. Also, seems a bit expensive compared to nexus 7. Thank heavens iMore continually does these comps, otherwise I'd be broke trying 2 keep up with tech!!! Thanks iMore
The new iPad Mini, pretty amazing.
Of course it will be a hot seller,apple has not missed the target yet, you get what you pay for!! Great products!!
I definitely would like to win the iPad mini! :)
wow wat a innovating technology...i juss cant resist...touching it ..happy i will if i get it...really nice site... and awsum giveway thanx.. white colour is adorable
Could my first iPad be actually a mini?! Here's to good things coming in small packages! Thanks, guys
I want one!
I Love iPad Mini and Also Love iMore. Thanks
Hope I win!
I would love to win an ipad mini. Looks fantastic! Thanks for the contest.
7.6inch HD retina display, smaller motherboard with dual core A5 chip, smaller body, 7.6mm, the new lightning adapter and HD facetime. what more could you ask for? seriously?!
iPad mini is going to be a great investment for business men. Especially in the UK! It's also going to be great for college students to buy their text books on and even be able to do their homework from them. I don't have money to get one considering I just got back to the US from being away for 2 years now. Hopefully I will be able to round up some money!
Dear iPad,
I've just heard the good news. Congratulations on the birth of your iPad mini, I can not wait to see it and have a little hold. You must be so proud.
Anyway keep me updated how your getting on, and please, please come and see me over in England. I would love to help you out and baby sit for you any time.
Much love
It's about time an Indian wins something from iMore.
So many comments, so little time.
It's so beautiful.
I know all guys want that ipad mini, i want it too :) So please pick me
iPad Mini
Thanks iMore
I want! :)
Thanks once again for another great contest! :)
I can't afford this awesome gadget anyway :(
If iMore is kind enough, i'll be getting one! =]
Well, god and iMore help me.
Fingers crossed. :)
let it be me please
OK, I want it. :D
I would love to have one :D
Would love this! And I request that the comments area sort by latest entry at the top and oldest entry the opposite. I also thinks it makes sense to have the "Add new comment" field right after the post instead of at the bottom. This way, the user doesn't have to scroll through all the comments to leave their own.
I sadly was not able to win the new iPhone 5, so this time I'd like to try to win the iPad mini, which I found out about due to the rumor reports on your amazing website.
As always, here goes nothing!
iPad mini? Why yes, thank you!
Pick Me! Thanks imore!
It would be nice to have it..
Thanks iMore...
Greetings from Croatia.
Please oh, please oh please!!!...:)
I would love a tablet! All I have is a 12 year old P4 computer I need an upgrade badly!
Well seeing as i didnt win the ipod touch for birthday off you guys i would love to win this!
I would LOVE to win this I-pad for my son who is non-verbal and would so enjoy being able to communicate with his family by using this awesome new machine.
Glad to have an ipad
The ipad mini would help me loads with revision
I want it, can I get it in diamond encrusted gold wrapped in seven pounds of one hundred dollar bills for safe keeping?
iPad Mini is awesome! even i have a normal iPad.., i want it!:D:D:D (just like all other Apple stuff;D )
Ahead of its time
I would dearly I mean dearly love to have an I pad min so much thanks Imore
i want more apple!!
well, i love giveaways. hoping to be the lucky one.
I like ipad. Hopefully i get it.
A good product but at the wrong price. I have an iPad 3rd gen. and it is not enough to tempt me to the smaller format for me or my children. If it had retina and the A6 maybe at the premium price. But with these specs and price not a chance. Maybe next year when they bring out the updated version and they have had a rethink!
I really want to win an iPad mini.
Thanks iMore (You guys rock)
Me please
Thanks for the opportunity to win a terrific device!
I'm getting it! Poor boy's wish.
iPad mini!!!!!
This would be so nice :)
I would love one of these to give to my kids!
Just in time for the holidays!

Kelly Osbourne seemed to glow yesterday at the reception for Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. clothing line in New York, looking as good we've ever seen her with gorgeous platinum locks and a killer leather ensemble.
Osbourne said last fall that her stint on Dancing With The Stars is responsible for her dramatic weight loss, explaining "It's so amazing, I've tried so many stupid fad diets to try to lose weight, when all I needed to do was start dancing." She looks fantastic and we especially love that haircut, it makes us want to go out and get a bob and dye job right this second. [Photos: Getty Images]

Aggravated assault
An officer responded to a call about a possible shooting on Tuskegee Drive in North Charleston. When he arrived, he spoke to a Hispanic male who told him he was in his residence when an unknown white male subject came to his door and asked him to help with a disabled vehicle outside. When the victim refused, the subject pushed his way in, accompanied by a black male accomplice, and they demanded money. The victim refused, and the black male produced a handgun and shot him in the left foot.
The victim said he then gave the subjects $350 from his wallet and they fled on foot toward Ashley Phosphate Road.
A witness reported hearing a popping sound and a vehicle taking off at a high rate of speed, but did not see anyone or anything.
Suspicious activity
A Summerville woman reported that she heard someone knocking on her bedroom window at about 2:20 in the morning. She said she asked who was there and someone mumbled a reply. She said whoever answered sounded like a black male and when she looked outside, she saw a black male with his hair in dreadlocks standing near the window. She said she also saw what might have been a white male standing farther away under her carport. She also saw a car parked in front of her residence with more subjects inside. After a few minutes, the two outside her house got into the car and they drove away.
She said this is the second time this has occurred and while she did not report it the first time she wanted to this time so that the incidents could be documented.
She said she does not know who the subjects are or what they want.
Home invasion
A North Charleston woman reported that three black male subjects dressed in black and wearing masks forced their way into her home and held her at gunpoint. She said she awakened to see a black male in a ski mask coming through her bedroom window who ordered her to hold her hands out. She said at first she thought it was her son playing a prank on her so she told him to get out of her way. He then went into her sons bedroom and helped two other subjects who apparently were in the house go through her sons belongings. One of them came back in and pointed a gun at her and pulled her telephone out of the wall.
She said after a few minutes they left the house carrying some of her sons possessions.
Officers arriving on the scene smelled raw marijuana in the sons room; he admitted that there was a small amount there prior to the burglary.

Jason Tozer
I find it hard to believe that over the last three years we've never posted the work of Jason Tozer. The London based photographer's work includes blowing bubbles up to the size of planets (pictured), freezing smoke, microscopic cracks in ice blocks, the infinitely detailed world of self-cast metal, all of which show us, "a world our eyes cannot see. Beautiful and strange, these are details that last a fraction of a fraction of a second – or are too slight to notice".

If the installation will require piping the baseboard to a dry return you could use a steam trap on the end of the radiation. The trap will allow air to pass through but when steam gets into the trap the trap will close. When enough condensate accumulates in the trap it will cool approximately 10f and the trap will re-open to allow the condensate to exit the trap and close again when the live steam enters the trap. An air vent on the radiation would not be required. Another option is explained below. A few installers have had issues with water from the vent with this installation but most have worked well. The few with issues I believe were operating above 2 psi which is the max pressure on residential systems.
If you do not want to use a mechanical trap on the return side of the baseboard and you have the room you could create a water seal between the baseboard and the dry return with a trap. Steam will not get into the return as it cannot get trough the water trap. Pipe the return side below the dry return and back up to create the required water seal. The water seal must drop 30" per pound of steam pressure below the return connection point.
This is the same as above but the wet seal is returning back to the steam main. I prefer this drawing less than the above drawing as much more water ends up in the steam main possibly causing water hammer noises in the system.
In this last drawing you would be piping the return side of the cast iron baseboard into a wet return verifying the connection will always be below the water level of the steam system. Since water will seek it's own level, the water in the system piping will be equal to the water level in the boiler.

I downgraded from Itunes 11 back to 10.7 by following the steps below. Since then, I can play my music stored in my original Itunes folder without any issie*through my computer, but can't connect my 3rd Generation Ipod touch with Itunes.
Details: I'm running Ipod software version 5.1.1, Itunes 10.7, OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leapard).*
I'm getting three error messgaes.*
1. An unknown error accoured (-42408). This comes up after Itunes firsts starts.
Then, when I connect my Ipod.
2. "Itunes Cannot read the conntents of the Ipod Touch. Go to the summary tab....and click restore to restore this Ipod to facory settings".
3. The software required for communicating with the Ipod is not installed correctly...please reinstall itunes to install the Ipod's Software".
Tried reinstalling Itunes (including completly removing it from my sytem first). Didn't work.
I have a backup of my Itunes folder, both in Time Machine and standard copy/paste to my exsternal drive.
Should I do a restore? Don't want a blank Ipod I can't use. Given he circumstances, the problem is almost cirtainly Itunes, not my Ipod.
Any advice much aprecated.
Thank you in advance.
How I downgraded
1. Downlaod Itunes 10.7 from herehttp://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/0...Tunes10.7.dmg*.
2. Enter Time Machine. Go to your last backup and click on the 'Applications' folder. Find Itunes. Click on restore.*
3. Install Itunes 10.7
4 . Go back into Time Machine and go into, not your last backup, but the one before that (i.e. two back from today). Go into Your name / Music / Itunes. Select "Itunes Libary.itl". Click on restore.*

Thanks for sharing this, all the animal lovers have been waiting for a decision. Now,our suggestion, each of the girls get a dog.
Can't wait to see the pow wow. This event will be in an arena, which is wonderful for no one will get wet or rained out. Be safe in driving and bring your kinders and family for this special event, you won't be sorry to share this with your loved ones.
Semper Fi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta love the military guys and gals.
May the fire fighter rest in peace. Condolences to his family and friends.
WTG Vicky and Brady, wishing you well!
Awww what a sweetie pie, give him a milk bone from me, please!
I love seeing him giggle and laugh. What a cutie pie, I did need a smile tonight and that made me smile.
Hello from wayawaya the animal forum blogger. I do have a question, last year I was sent emails from friends to send cards to the military men and women that were in Walter Reed. Several months past and I received them back. I do have many friends that would love to send cards, etc to the men and women that serve in the military. Can you direct me to where to send cards, etc to?

Glad to hear Devin is in good spirits. Really wonderful to hear a story about a law enforcement not only doing their job, but providing a little boy with peace of mind and calmness. Congrats to everyone that worked Devin's case. May Devin overcome this situation in his life and soon will be playing with a paint ball gun with the enforcement officer that made this promise.
Wishing Devon a quick recovery, bless his heart.
Raymond is smiling down seeing his mother and others do such wonderful, positive things for people.
Great news, glad to hear this wrong was finaly righted.
Sgt. Bobby Guidry, very sorry to hear this sad disturbing news. You deserved a wonderful retirement and not this disgraceful event that happened. Hold your head up high and we pray things get resolved for your future. After reading all these comments, you sound like the kind of police officer we really needed and deserved in New Orleans. Like my dad said, he was proud of being a PIG way back in the 60's and 70's after servicing 25 years in the military. Pride, Integrity and Guts are what we need here. Wishing you well.
Go Cory, Go, I remember those days! Way to go, roflmao, gotta luv those early years.
Geesh, for newhoustonkb, yes I drove I-45 in December with a crew of 7 rescue dogs and almost had a heart attack. We come from San Antonio, Texas and presently live in the New Orleans area. I can't go back to a tiny town for more than a week, if I do and come back home I again almost have a heart attack driving in the New Orleans area. I flew up to Pennsylvania 2 years ago to visit my beautiful grand daughters and then drove home a vehicle my oldest son sold to his brother. Wasn't to bad of a drive alone, until I got close to the south, I reached Mississippi and into Lousiana the traffic became scarey. There is no such thing as a speed limit. In San Antonio, the worst was the Yield Signs which should be just pulled up and have Stop signs there. New Jersey city in a cab, I couldn't look forward, I just either closed my eyes or looked elsewhere, my blood pressure went up seriously high after that ride, lol. So no matter where ya are, there ya are so to speak, drive safely and respect the laws for all our safety.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2008 Iraqi and coalition forces throughout Iraq have killed and captured several terrorists over the past several days.
In operations around Iraq today:
-- North of Tarmiyah, coalition forces detained two suspected terrorists, including an alleged al Qaeda leader. That suspect is reportedly directly associated with al Qaeda's northern belt senior leader, and he obtains funds by selling vehicles. The network is responsible for the majority of bombings in the area and is involved in extortion, intimidation, weapons trafficking and facilitating foreign terrorists.
-- One suspected terrorist was killed and two detained during an operation southwest of Mahmudiyah when coalition forces targeted an alleged associate of the southern belt al Qaeda network believed to be involved in rigging bombs in homes.
-- Coalition forces captured two individuals in northeastern Mosul believed to be relatives of a senior al Qaeda leader and involved in terrorist activity in the region. Three other suspected terrorists were detained during the operation.
-- Coalition forces targeting Iranian-backed "special-groups" criminal networks involved in attacks against Iraqi and coalition forces detained a suspected special-groups member in Baghdad.
In operations in Iraq on Feb. 25:
-- Soldiers of Company E, 2nd Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, attached to 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, questioned a "person of interest" in the murders of a "Sons of Iraq" security volunteer leader and his son, which had been reported a day earlier. The bodies were found in the Sons of Iraq headquarters building in the Mechanix neighborhood of Rashid district.
-- In Balad, Iraqi special operations forces detained a suspected terrorist believed to be responsible for improvised-explosive-device attacks against Iraqi and coalition forces, as well as weapons trafficking in the region.
-- In Kubaysah, an Iraqi special weapons and tactics team detained three suspected terrorists in an operation to halt an insurgent cell believed to be responsible for attacks against Iraqi and coalition forces.
Earlier, soldiers from 2nd Iraqi Army Division detained five suspected members of a terrorist cell in Hawad, south of Mosul, Feb. 24. The suspects are believed to be responsible for bomb attacks against Iraqi and coalition forces and, according to intelligence reports, allegedly are involved in a campaign to intimidate Iraqi citizens.

TEMPLE (June 22, 2014) The X-Games may be over but for at least one day in Temple, skating is on display.
"Well, we're always looking for a way to reach out to all areas of the community, said Temple Parks and Leisure Services Program Coordinator Belinda Garcia. "We're always trying to grow our teen programs so we knew that skating was pretty in and hip so we decided to try this out three years ago and its just grown to the event that it is today."
The third annual Late Skate event has allowed local skaters to show off in front of a crowd.
"They get 15 minutes, it's a long time, and they get to expose all the tricks that they've got," said Devin White who emceed the event and is also a skater. "we've got a huge fan (base), everybody is getting hyped up and clapping and stuff like that. But most importantly it's all about fun and everybody's having a good time out here."

I'm back! (I hope). So when I last tried to put some mass on last winter I had a shoulder injury that was worse than I realized that didn't hold up to the increased intensity lifting. So by Feb. I had to take a break from lifting for a few months. I started extremely light lifting about 4 months ago and have slowly increased intensity as my shoulder recovered. Now I feel like my shoulder has completely healthy and haven't had any problems for a couple of months so I'm going to once again attempt to add some mass on.
I currently weigh around 140 lbs at about 7-8% BF. I hope to get to around 150 lbs and stay around 7-8% BF in a few months. I tested my 1RM on bench today and it was 205 lbs. So I am making my immediate goal to be getting to 143 lbs and a 1RM of 225 by the end of October. I am once again going to go with the PHAT routine as I was making good progress when last using it.

Lawmakers on the state level can and should be actively fighting the Obama administration's senseless war on coal. That's why the long overdue announcement of a trip to Washington by a group of West Virginia lawmakers — all Democrats at that — is welcomed. The group will travel to Washington this week to express their concerns about the Obama administration's controversial new EPA carbon regulations.
President Barack Obama issued a presidential memorandum in June — and thus bypassed congressional action — launching the first-ever federal regulations on carbon dioxide emitted by existing coal-fired power plants. The new regulations are expected to put more coal miners out of work, and result in more power plant closures.
State Democratic Chairman Larry Puccio told the Register-Herald in Beckley that the entourage, estimated at about 15 to 17 lawmakers, were financing the visit on their own, and not using taxpayer dollars. He said the group plans to send "one strong message that America has called on us to keep the lights on."
The group also will be meeting with U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., while in Washington. Business, industry and labor representatives are expected to join the group as well, according to Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin. …
West Virginia Coal Association President Bill Raney is applauding the effort, but also is reminding the Democrats who are leading the effort that their own political party has been calling the shots in the EPA's war on coal. …
We agree. The lawmakers traveling to Washington next week must send a strong message. And it helps if that message is coming from members of the administration's own political party.
Coal is still responsible for keeping the lights on in both West Virginia, and across America. We simply cannot stop mining coal overnight and expect to immediately find another reliable, inexpensive energy source.
Instead, we should be working together toward achieving energy independence with the help of our own domestically abundant fossil fuels while also creating jobs — not killing them.
The more Democrats who are willing to stand up to the Obama administration and its job killing policies, the better our chances of stopping this foolish attack on coal.

Private school vouchers split many
The issue of using taxpayer dollars to provide vouchers for children to attend private school has divided many in North Carolina, with strong opinions prevalent on both sides of the argument and a lawsuit now filed over the matter.
In Lee County, it has even divided private school leaders.
Bill Carver, headmaster at Grace Christian School, is a strong proponent of the vouchers. He says they will increase the diversity of private schools and give parents options that they never would have had for their children otherwise.
Stephen Coble, chief administrator at Lee Christian School, does not like the idea of vouchers. He says he doesn't support the cuts to public schools that paid for the vouchers, nor could he support increased taxes to keep public school funding at the same levels.
Next year is the first year vouchers will be available, with about 2,400 available statewide thanks to an appropriation of $10 million, which will give low income families $4,200 a year toward tuition. That wouldn't pay for an elementary or middle school student ($4,584 at Grace or $4,440 at Lee Christian) or for a high school student ($4,992 at Grace or $4,860 at Lee Christian) next school year, but it would come close.
In addition to their leaders' opinion on the vouchers, Grace Christian and Lee Christian are also taking different approaches on using them as a recruiting tool.
Coble said that he doesn't plan to actively recruit more students to the school using vouchers, although he said if parents disagreed with him he'd certainly listen. But his logic, he said, is simple: There's no room for more students.
"I don't want to sound too smug about it because what we have, the Lord has given us," Coble said. "But we're full. We were full last year, and we're full this year."
At Grace, however, efforts to bring in voucher-funded students are in full swing. Carver said a staff member has been trained as a specialist in the new law and is helping anyone who has questions, and on Tuesday night, the school will be holding an open house for any family interested in trying to get a voucher to attend the school.
The open house will be from 7-8 p.m. Tuesday at the school, located at 2601 Jefferson Davis Highway in Sanford. It will include a tour of campus and individual classrooms as well as chances to speak with teachers and students.
Carver said the school is encouraging anyone who might be eligible for a voucher to come out — which includes public school students who qualified for free or reduced-price lunches, as well as students from either public or private schools, and who are from any income level, who have a learning disability and an individualized educational plan (IEP).
"We're basically giving (qualifying families) an opportunity that they wouldn't have otherwise, and that's why I'm an advocate for the vouchers," Carver said. "And interestingly enough, one of the criticisms of private schools is we're too discerning about who we enroll. This is a way of addressing that."
Critics, however, have pointed out that private schools in North Carolina don't have the same regulations as public schools — there are no requirements about what is actually taught in the classroom, and teachers don't have to be certified or even undergo background checks.
Some have also argued that using government funding for Christian schools, which comprise the majority of private schools in North Carolina, would also violate the Constitutional promise of no government-sponsored religion. Several other states have similar voucher programs, although the Louisiana Supreme Court did declare that state's program unconstitutional last May.
Yet Carver said that in the face of all the opposition, he's hopeful the program will actually be expanded in the future, as legislative leaders have said is their intention. He said that by actively going after these vouchers, Grace is letting state leaders know the program is appreciated.
"What we're trying to do, quite frankly, is send a message to the legislature that there are people interested in this, and we don't want to see it die," he said.
Coble, however, said he sees it a different way: Some parents, regardless of income level, want a private school education for their children. Others don't. But those who do will find a way to make it work — and many already have, without government assistance. He said one unintended consequence is that families struggling and sacrificing to pay for private school would be harmed if taxes were raised to pay for the cuts to public education caused by the vouchers.
"We're not a rich private school," Coble said. "I have folks that drive up in cars that are 10 years old, and they have three or four youngsters in the school. Some of them are working two jobs just to cover their children's education because they believe in what they're getting. And for them to turn around and have to pay extra taxes to support the public school system, that strikes me as a little unfair."

The Bachelor
Courtney Meets Ben's Family: What Did They Think of Her?
When Ben Flajnik's sister reported back to her Bachelor brother about Courtney Robertson in their Season 16 finale first meet, her first words were: "I am shocked."
Gasp! Could she possibly be pulling a Chrystie Corns, who famously trashed Ashley Hebert's Bachelorette Season 7 frontrunner JP Rosenbaum? The only difference is, JP was beloved by all, so you can only imagine the more hopeful reaction of many a viewer when Julia uttered those three words.
BUT... turns out Julia was won over by the model whose only fan until now was Ben (oh, and Casey Shteamer).
Though she had some reservations about Ben dating a model, she admitted to stereotyping and was ultimately "blown away" by Courtney and felt that she could realy fit in with the family.
Julia, who is super close to Ben, did not deny that Courtney had "some work to do," but she was fully supportive of what Ben "want[s]."

In late September, as workers applied joint compound to new office walls, hoodie-clad colleagues who had just met were working together on deadline.
The paint is barely dry, yet edX, the nonprofit start-up from Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has 370,000 students this fall in its first official courses. That's nothing. Coursera, founded just last January, has reached more than 1.7 million — growing "faster than Facebook," boasts Andrew Ng, on leave from Stanford to run his for-profit MOOC provider.
"This has caught all of us by surprise," says David Stavens, who formed a company called Udacity with Sebastian Thrun and Mike Sokolosky after more than 150,000 signed up for Dr. Thrun's "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" last fall, starting the revolution that has higher education gasping. A year ago, he marvels, "we were three guys in Sebastian's living room and now we have 40 employees full time."
"I like to call this the year of disruption," says Anant Agarwal, president of edX, "and the year is not over yet."

I was so surprised not to see the Three Sisters Waterfall in Descanso, CA (San Diego County) on your list & then remembered it's a fairly well kept secret.
The falls are in the middle of the Cleveland National Forest down 12 miles of dirt road. (Exact directions are easy enough to find online.) But the road does cross through 2 potential rivers that are impassable in the winter & rains. The hike to the falls is only about 3 miles round trip but the climb is very steep requiring either some minor bouldering or use of a rope left by other hikers. Still if you bring enough water and take your time, it's not too difficult. It is called Three Sisters because there are 3 tiers to the falls before it becomes a river that snakes through the valley. The sound of the falls can be heard from over a mile away so it's easy to know when you're on the right trail. I'm not positive of the exact height but I'd guess it's probably about 200' high counting all 3 tiers.
Go in the spring and you'll also see an amazing display of California Poppy on the hill sides. The photograph I took is about 15 or so minutes walk from the base of the falls. There are also pools of water at the base so if you arrive on a hot day, feel free to take a dip. While these falls do shrink through warm weather, they exist year round.

Mitchell: Palestinians want talks to continue
The Palestinians want peace talks with Israel to continue, the American envoy said in Cairo on Sunday. "Despite their differences, both the government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority have asked us to continue these discussions in an effort to establish the conditions under which they can continue direct negotiations," George Mitchell said after meeting Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
"They both want to continue these negotiations, they do not want to stop the talks," he added, according to AFP.
Late Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the Palestinians "to continue the peace talks without a break with the aim of reaching a historic accord in a year."
"We are pursuing this effort continuing discussions today, in the past several days and in the next several days with the two parties, with other leaders in the region, in Europe and elsewhere, including the members of the (Mideast) Quartet," Mitchell said in Cairo.

No room for Cambridge park lovers as Addenbrooke's Hospital staff fill spaces
Posted: February 05, 2014|
Staff at Addenbrooke's Hospital are for taking up parking spaces reserved for visitors to a Cambridge recreation ground, according to a councillor.
Cllr George Pippas, who represents Queen Edith's, said the eight bays in Nightingale Avenue were regularly filled with workers' cars by 9am, leaving some residents unable to use the park, including a 'trim trail' which was recently installed at a cost of £30,000.
Cllr Pippas has called for signage to be improved to deter commuter parking and said clamping would be a last resort.
He said: "The parking is specifically for people who use the park but unfortunately some people who work at the hospital come in the morning and by 9am the whole car park is taken up by irresponsible drivers.
"There is no room for people who come with their families or disabled people and it is very annoying for them. We are thinking of ways to prevent these people from parking because it's not there as an overflow for Addenbrooke's."
Streets around Addenbrooke's have long been clogged up with the cars of hospital workers and visitors, with residents complaining they were unable to park near their homes and firefighters expressing concern about whether they could access emergencies.
Yellow lines were recently painted in a number of streets, including Nightingale Avenue – and Cllr Pippas said this had only increased pressure on the recreation ground car park.
He added: "I think the wording of the signs is too polite at the moment and that needs to be changed for something stronger to discourage people from taking advantage of the parking spaces. I think clamping would be a last resort. There are a number of options on the table – we could ask for a two-hour maximum stay or we could draw lines for spaces for disabled people and families with children."
An Addenbrooke's spokeswoman said the hospital encouraged people to walk, cycle or use public transport, and that a new 1,200-space car park was due to open later this year, but added areas without restrictions "will be used by those who wish to take advantage of free roadside parking". She added: "Wherever drivers choose to park we would encourage them to park legally, safely and considerately."

Beetroot and horseradish risotto – serves 2, 488 calories per serving
1 packet of pre cooked beetroot – drained and cut in to cubes
1 teaspoon oil or cooking spray
½ a leek or 1 onion – washed and chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
750ml vegetable stock, or more if needed, from 1 ½ tsp vegetable bouillon and boiling water
150g Arborio or Carnaroli risotto rice
1 can of butter beans, drained and rinsed
2 teaspoons grated horseradish (from a jar)
½ teaspoon dried chilli flakes
Pepper and a splash of lemon juice
2 tablespoon natural low fat yoghurt and ½ tsp grated horseradish
Keep the stock warm in a pan. In a separate pan, heat the oil add the leek/onions and garlic and fry very slowly for about 10 minutes without colouring. When they have softened, add the rice and chilli and turn up the heat but keep stirring it.
Add a ladle of hot stock turn down the heat to a simmer so the rice doesn't cook too quickly. Keep adding ladlefuls of stock and stirring, allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding the next. This will take around 15 minutes. Add the beetroot, beans and horseradish.
Keep adding stock until the rice is soft but with a slight bite. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper. Add some boiling water if you run out of stock.
Remove from the heat and add a splash of lemon juice. Stir well. Serve in warmed bowls with a tablespoon of yoghurt mixed with horseradish

If Republicans think that their Medicare privatization plan is an albatross around their necks now, just see what they try to do if they nominate the author of that plan to be their standard bearer in 2012.
Count House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) as one top Republican who'd like to see Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) jump into the presidential race.
Cantor responded immediately when asked Monday whether Ryan, a rising GOP star and author of the party's official budget plan, should run for the White House in 2012.
"Sure," Cantor said. "Paul's about real leadership. I think that that's what this public so desperately wants to do right now. They don't want to see individuals that just dismiss problems that we can just sweep under the rug."
I don't think this is going to happen. Ryan was asked several times on Meet the Press whether he would run and he repeatedly ruled it out. He didn't even want to seek office in the US Senate in Wisconsin despite an open seat. The House Budget Committee perch is a powerful one, and there's no reason for Ryan to give it up.
However, the lure of the Presidency is pretty unmistakable. And Republicans are seemingly dissatisfied with their choices in the 2012 race, which at this point come down to Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and Jon Huntsman, with various other hangers-on and longshots in the mix. And Ryan's name is one that keeps coming up as a late entry. While he denied running in 2012 on MTP, he left the door open for down the road. And where there's smoke, there can be fire.
Republicans already ignored their own pollsters in swallowing the Ryan budget, despite its extreme unpopularity. I don't see why they wouldn't accept Ryan as the nominee, making their party clearly the party of ending Medicare, despite polling concerns. After all, what would piss off liberals more? That's really their MO, anyway.
Incidentally, this SHOULD be the choice before the American people in 2012. This seems to be the point of greatest difference between the parties, whether or not to phase out Medicare. Why not have a great debate on it, with the leaders of each party's view at the top? At least we'd then know where everyone stands.

Former South African President Nelson Mandela turned 95 on Thursday.
The objective of Mandela Day is to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better, and in doing so build a global movement for good. Ultimately it seeks to empower communities everywhere.
Springbok captain Jean de Villiers, backs Juan de Jongh and Gio Aplon as well as loose forward Siya Kolisi spent their 67 minutes at the Siyabulela Primary School in Langa outside Cape Town.
As part of the recently-launched Boks for Books campaign, the four Springbok and DHL Stormers stars participated in a Tag Rugby Clinic and read to learners of the school.
"Boks for Books is a superb initiative by SARU and it was really humbling to be able to tie it in with giving back on Mandela Day," said De Villiers.
"We're very fortunate that we are able to give back to the people and to serve fellow South Africans, no matter where they are from. I've experienced first-hand how rugby can play a role in uplifting our countrymen and it's something that is very dear to me."
Meanwhile, in Eldorado Park in Soweto, Springbok and Vodacom Bulls loose forwards Pierre Spies and Arno Botha, both currently injured, got their hands dirty by planting trees at Kremetart Park and painting walls at the Andries Meyer Old Age Home.
This was part of a Mandela Day initiative which was organised by Minister of Sport and Recreation, Hon. MP Fikile Mbalula.
"I'm not the world's greatest gardener or painter, but this was a superb opportunity to lend a hand in communities where people are not as fortunate as we are," said Spies.
"By making contributions which may seem small to you, you can make a big difference in the life of others."

An LED flashlight is not only an essential camping staple, but it's useful in many other situations for its ability to shine a powerful, focused beam directly where it's needed most. However, anyone who's had to change a flat tire at night knows even the handiest LED flashlight can't hold itself.
When hands-free light is required, an LED headlamp is becoming an increasingly popular solution. Headlamps strap onto your forehead or the brim of a hat to shine light in whatever direction you're looking, leaving your hands available to do the work. They also have a lightweight, compact design that makes them easy to tuck away in a drawer or backpack.
When choosing a headlamp, look for one that has an easily adjustable strap and multiple brightness settings so you can tone down the light to match the situation. Here's a look at seven ways an LED headlamp can come in handy, both indoors and out:
1. Camping and other outdoor activities. An LED headlamp outranks a flashlight in usefulness for just about every outdoor recreational activity. When camping, consider bringing one along in case you end up having to set up or take down camp at night. On rough camping trips, a headlamp is also ideal for late-night bathroom runs. When fishing in the early morning, an LED headlamp can help you bait a hook and find your way around your boat without difficulty. Plus, in the event you become lost or stranded, your headlamp can double as a signal for help.
2. Walking the dog. When taking the dog for a walk at night in the woods or an area that's poorly lit, you'll want an LED flashlight along to help you avoid tripping or stepping into something you don't want to step in. But with a flashlight in one hand and the leash in the other, picking up after your pet's messes suddenly becomes a juggling act. A headlamp, however, keeps the light where you need it and leaves your hands available for scooping.
3. Making car repairs. Every mechanic struggles with getting enough light to shine into the crooks and crevices of an engine. Sometimes even the most powerful shop light won't reach just the right spot, and recruiting someone to hold a flashlight for you – not to mention getting them to shine it in the right place – can be frustrating for both parties. By wearing an LED headlamp, you can cut out the middle man and direct the light to where you need it simply by turning your head.
4. Making home repairs. Every home has its shadowy nooks and difficult-to-reach crannies, and as a homeowner it's inevitable that you will need to poke around in them every now and then to clean or make a repair. Repairing a clogged drain or leaky pipe, investigating a noisy basement furnace, checking the attic for pests, accessing the crawl space, deep-cleaning the closets – headlamps can make all of these situations infinitely easier.
5. Reading in bed. For book lovers, reading in bed before falling asleep can be one of life's greatest pleasures. When turning on the bedside lamp isn't an option, an LED headlamp provides a strong reading light while letting you avoid the awkwardness of trying to hold a flashlight and turn the pages at the same time.
6. On-the-road emergencies. A headlamp is a useful item to include in any car emergency kit. Should you ever have to change a tire at night, get a jump start or hike to the nearest gas station, having a hands-free light available can be a tremendous help. Plus, a headlamp's compact design fits easily into the glove compartment or a small safety kit.
7. Biking. When biking in dark or heavily shaded areas, such as a forest, an LED headlamp on your helmet can help you both see and be seen. It illuminates the path ahead so you can navigate the woods and avoid obstacles such as logs, snakes or trees.
While LED headlamps won't necessarily replace flashlights in every situation, they are a surprisingly useful supplement for your outdoor gear, auto emergency kit and home repair arsenal.

Make the most of sawdust
These dozen ways to recycle sawdust might even make you question thin-kerf blades.
- • First-rate firestarters
- • Spill soaker
- • Wood filler
- • Board dryer
- • Compost
- • Meat smoker
- • Animal bedding
- • Pottery kiln fodder
The wood dust / chips collected are spread out on our gravel driveway to provide traction for vehicles. The wood dust/chips also retains warmth from the sun which melts the snow & or ice. A couple 1" diameter rare earth magnets are attached to dust collection hose near each blast gate, one inside the hose one outside the hose along with a couple rare earth magnets attached onto each floor sweep duct to capture screws, nails metal that might get sucked up by the Jet dust collection system.3/20/2014 10:54:34 AM Report Abuse
I make these firestarters all the time and I use them primarily when lighting charcoal. I use paraffin wax instead of candle wax as it is food grade and completely burns. There is no buildup on the inside of any of my chimney starters.3/20/2014 10:24:33 AM Report Abuse
SUBJECT: First-rate firestarters I have some concern about the article on making fire starters using saw dust and candle wax. They would be great for camping but what effect would the wax have on chimneys; wouldn't it create a chimney fire hazard?3/20/2014 10:08:59 AM Report Abuse
Another alternative is a biomass briquette. This YouTube video uses paper, but wood chips or sawdust should work at least as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE45IySqJAo3/20/2014 09:46:37 AM Report Abuse
The only problem with these fire starters is the wax residue left in your fireplace.3/20/2014 09:45:12 AM Report Abuse
I really like the dust from the planer for making fire starters. It's more like chips than dust.2/11/2014 12:13:19 AM Report Abuse
Wood shavings are better than sawdust. Sawdust produces dust which can harm lungs of animals. We will not use sawdust with our horses but do use wood shavings.2/6/2014 10:59:15 AM Report Abuse

So a couple days ago, I asked Eric Stephen of True Blue LA to ask Carl Crawford about his hitting mechanics, and he did so for me, primarily because he's awesome.
Why, you ask? Because of my article for Baseball Prospectus back in October broaching that exact subject. Basically, I wanted to know if I was right so I could pat myself on the back.
Anyway, he allowed me to publish the convo.
Are you going back to your style and/or stance from 2010?
"I'm pretty much trying to get back to how I was doing things then."
"When I got to Boston, my stance was more open. I'm trying to get back to being more square to the pitcher, and my batting stance isn't as wide. Those are two of the little things I'm trying to focus on."
On Going The Other Way
"Batting more square, more closed, instead of being more open. When I'm open the ball away looks far away, so I'm trying to get more square so everything looks closer to me."
But seriously though, it's positive that he's trying to get back to his 2010 stance, because there's a gigantic difference between his approach then and in 2011.
My hopes that he would carry on with his 2012 adjustment seems valid, as he appears to acknowledge that it's something he could benefit from. Now all that's left is to see whether he can stay healthy enough to implement it and whether or not he can stick to the plan.
Amazingly, the evil dictator Mike Petriello picked up on Crawford's comments and wrote about Crawford's mechanics as well, though he picked up on one thing that I didn't.
So what impact did the stance shenanigans have? Among other things, it made him unable to get to the outside pitch. Using the Baseball Prospectus heat maps, we can see that when Crawford was having his career year in 2010, with his stance slowly opening up, he was quite good at getting to pitches on the outside part of the plate. In 2011, fully open, he had absolutely no prayer. (And, it should be noted, even in September of 2010 he was beginning to have trouble getting to outside pitches.)
This is a cool finding because it expands on my point that he was struggling with hard stuff due to his timing errors. So now we have another specific thing to watch, which is his plate coverage.
In the end, a major-league player confirmed that I am an absolute genius…
…or maybe that he's just trying to go back to the last time he was successful.

Issue : May 2007
Editorial Review
Easton's TaperWall Technology gives this alloy handlebar slightly evident road-shock damping abilities in the drops, and it's as tough as a $2 steak. Easton has long had the best ergo designs and this is no different. From the nicely formed tops to the comfy ergo bend, I remain pleased with how well-thought-out the ergonomics are. While it doesn't have internal cable ports, the recessed cable indentations allow for fairly clean routing, even with SRAM shifters (which require two cables per side under the tape). A perfect match for the money is the EA70 stem. It has a tough, shot-peen finish and benefits from replaceable hardware so stripped bolts won't require a new stem purchase.

Policy Brief - Community-Based Alternatives to Immigration Detention
Stanford Law School Immigrants' Rights Clinic issued a report on behalf of Detention Watch Network calling on the Obama administration to reduce the unprecedented rate of immigration detention by adopting cost-effective, community-based alternatives that have already been implemented internationally and domestically. According to the report, pilot programs in the United States and abroad have demonstrated that community-based alternatives to detention are cheaper, more effective, and more humane than the current U.S. immigration detention system. Clinic students Stephen Dekovich, Michelle Parris, Michelle Reaves, and Jessica Spradling were instrumental in the drafting of this report.

About the Department
UCL houses the largest centre for Dutch Studies in the English-speaking world. The Department of Dutch, was the first of its kind in the United Kingdom. It was here that Dutch first attained the status of a serious academic discipline and a chair in Dutch has been occupied almost continuously since 1919.
Today it offers a full range of undergraduate and graduate degree programmes and provides a uniquely supportive environment for those studying Dutch language, literature, history and society from the early modern period to today. In addition to the department's own staff, visiting lecturers and professors from the Netherlands and Flanders together with visiting students from Dutch and Flemish universities ensure regular contact between the department and the Dutch-speaking countries. The department's research interests are varied, broadly encompassing:
- the Dutch language; linguistics; the teaching of Dutch as a foreign language; critical language awareness,
- Dutch literature, especially the Dutch Golden Age, the twentieth century, women's studies and colonial and post-colonial literature,
- Dutch and Belgian political and cultural history, especially the modern and contemporary period,
- translation studies and comparative literature.
The range of expertise is reflected in the courses on offer to both undergraduate and graduate students.
Various other UCL departments, including History, History of Art and Geography, have academic staff with highly specialised expertise covering the Low Countries (i.e. both the Netherlands and Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium).
The Dutch Department organises a range of cultural events, often in association with other centres and institutions. It plays a prominent part in various national and international organisations concerned with Dutch Studies and has excellent contacts with Dutch and Flemish universities.
The department is also fortunate in being able to host an annual Dutch Writer in Residence programme. This involves a Dutch or Flemish writer, whose work has been translated into English, being in residence in the department for part of the year.
The department is also the editorial base for the long-standing and award-winning international research journal on interdisciplinary Low Countries Studies, Dutch Crossing.
