Mm, QuickRemote is preinstalled on the G2 Mini.
Or do you mean that you want to install the one that comes with the G2? (becauce it has different UI?)
Sent from my D620R [Stock 4.4.2]
I think it's not about UI but devices other than TV, DVD and Bluray.
That is impossible.
You need to modify your hardware in order to achieve that.

What made you so sure of it? maybe the IR blaster of the mini has a learn function but then It was limited to software function in order to cut down its specs from his big brother G2.

BMW ORACLE Racing's BOR90 suffered noticeable platform wracking at times, which will also be a challenge for Alinghi 5.
Over the past two days, the sailing world has glimpsed some of the most advanced sailing technology ever seen.
Last Monday BMW Oracle Racing relaunched their trimaran, BOR90 after a period of substantial modification following several session sailing trials off Anacortes and San Diego.
Like Alinghi 5 revealed the day before in Villeneuve, Switzerland, BOR90 featured the wave piercer bow - one of several modifications from her previous mode.
Sail-World asked multihull and high performance sailing guru, Steve Clark how these bows work and that the designers are trying to achieve with this style.
Clark's pedigree goes way back into the early days of C-class catamarans, in fact his father Van Allen Clark sailed the US C-class cat Beverley against Hellcat (GBR) in 1962. Since then Steve has been involved in the development of C-Class catamarans culminating in the superb Cogito which won back the Little America's Cup in 1996. The C-Class catamaran have been the pioneers of much of the technology seen in these two America's Cup 'supermultis'. Wing masts for instance first appeared on C-cats over 40 years ago and the hard wingsail first appeared 35 years ago in 1974.
It's familiar technology for Clark, and the issues are well known.
'The raked back bows get called 'wave piercers' but that really is a misnomer,' he explains. 'The idea is to have the hull go right through the wave instead of rising over it.
Wave piercer bows are an obvious change from the pre-rebuild version.
'The notion is that you don't waste the energy making the boat go up and down ( heaving), and you don't incur pitching. The result is supposed to result net reduction in energy expended on sea-keeping thus making the vessel more efficient.
'If you look at the INCAT fast ferries, these are true wave piercing bows, and they make the ride more comfortable for the passengers.
'In sailing catamarans, the tendency has been toward wider waterlines and fuller bows and sterns. The NA (naval architecture) term for what you achieve with this is higher 'waterplane inertia (which means that the hull is less susceptible to trim changes.) That is to say it is harder to push the bow down.
'As a result, there is less need for reserve buoyancy forward, so freeboard can be cut down. Further you do not require as much or indeed any flare in the above water sections, so you can reduce surface area by pulling the deck beam in. As you do this, the stem starts to rake aft at the top, giving the Dreadnought profile.
'There is a further benefit of reducing the skin area forward, and the effect of that is that the wetted surface can't grow by as much, so the cat is slowed less if it is trimmed bow down for a short period. This makes it less likely to 'trip' over itself.'
In summary, the benefits of the so-called 'Dreadnought' bows are a reduction in pitching, and reduction in surface area of the bow, giving less is less drag.
11/10/2008 - San Diego (CA, USA) - America's Cup - BMW ORACLE Racing - 90 ft trimaran sea trials - San Diego session - Sail 4***11/10/2008 - San Diego (CA, USA) - America's Cup - BMW ORACLE Racing - 90 ft trimaran sea trials - San Diego session - Sail 4
Turning to Alinghi 5, one of the features which created considerable comment was the lack of visible support for the bows - as her design team had opted for a two beam (main and aft beam) configuration rather than the more conservative approach which has been to add a third beam forward to tie the platform (hulls and structure) together
Steve Clark explains: 'The big structural problem with these big multis is the torsional stiffness of the platform. That is to say making it so that the bows rise and fall together. Photos of BOR90 show there can be quite a bit of wracking between the weather ama and the leeward ama.
'We solved this in the C Class by using a four stay shroud system. This, essentially, turns the mast into a king post truss and relieves the beams from providing much in the way of platform rigidity. But if you are setting jibs and big asymmetrics, you can't have the four stay layout. So the usual response has been to add a third beam, such that the bows and sterns are linked solidly together.'
Alinghi 5: Close up of dolphin striker under mast position. Note temporary opposing strut. The two Y aft running beams can be seen, which intersect with the forward prodder at the mast juncture.
Alinghi doesn't have a third, forward beam.
'Jo Richard's innovation on Le Black (the 41 ft catamaran on which Alinghi 5 is said to be based) was to use a matrix of dolphin strikers and dolphin striker straps under the platform to achieve this torsional rigidity', explains Clark
' Essentially this system makes a tension structure under the trampoline do what the four shrouds on a C Class do above the trampoline. But on these America's Cup multihulls, there is more to it than just that, because there is also a honking great bowsprit to support, so 'web central' is quite a big deal.'
'The concept has been pretty well tested on Le Black, so the question is how well can it be scaled up to jumbo size?'
Alinghi Launch 09bc 00061cropred
Clark has long advocated that the America's Cup should be sailed in the ultimate sailing craft, and looks set to see his dream realised.
'Alinghi is a pretty striking beast.' he says. 'I hope we actually get to see both these boats sailed hard.'
'Of course the most important thing will not how up in photos. HOW MUCH DOES IT WEIGH?'
'The same question has to be asked of BMW Oracle Racing's BOR90 before we can start to figure who has what kind of advantage here.
'It may be simplistic, but in the C Cats the heavier boat rarely won a series, and on th eodd occasion when they did, that was usually because the lighter boat broke too often. The scales were the best predictor of the outcome,' he concludes.
'Of course, the best way to mitigate the sailing loads on a catamaran is to be very aggressive about keeping the weight down. The lighter the boat, the less stability, the less stability, the lower the loads, the lower the loads, the lighter the structure and so forth....' says Clark expounding the self fulfilling prophecy of weight reduction in yachts of this type.
Against this backdrop of the pursuit of lightness and general weight reduction, the concept of using water ballast seems to be an anachronism. However Le Black, the seed for Alinghi 5, carried water ballast.
Clark admits to being a little perplexed on this point. 'I don't have a clear picture for the benefit of water ballast in these boats', he explains. 'Given the monstrous loads, why make it worse? Given the brute force required to sail a machine like this, why not just add crew?
Alinghi 5 features very slim "wave piercing hulls"
'They move and can do more than just sit there, like water ballast. There is no requirement to sail with a fixed number of crew, so you can mode the boat for the day by adding monkeys.'
'It also occurred to me that at the speeds these boats are likely to sail, a 40 mile race isn't a particularly long event. The chances of getting caught out by a weather change are greatly minimized if the race takes 2-2.5 hours.'
The clear implication being that if you can predict the wind for the next three hours, then you should be able to mode the boat with the optimum crew weight to extract maximum performance for the expected wind condition. Which in turn points to the advantage/necessity of having venue which has steady and predicable winds.
Le Black with "Screecher" the 90ft Alinghi may opearte in the same mode with her softsail configuration.
Despite having his skipper and lead designer, Duncan MacLane, from the Cogito project, consulting to Alinghi, Clark can only guess at the development process the America's Cup Defenders have worked through with the multihull now known as Alinghi 5.
'I'm pretty sure that a bunch of the sailing Le Black did over the last year, was loaded to the gills with strain gauges as Dirk Kramers refined their understanding of how the various components of the struts and strings are loaded', Clark surmises.
'I also suspect they tried several different configurations of trussing to determine if there was a better plan. I have a great deal of admiration for Dirk and would hang my ass out a 10th story window on a piece he said was strong enough! So I would pr

When I see some cool recycled item that sparks a new and exciting lesson plan, I have Ruth's to thank. When budgets keep shrinking and class sizes expand I thank my lucky stars that Ruth's is there to fill the gaps. Over the years I have created many lesson plans that use all recycled materials from Ruth's. What a lifesaver!

Pandora is ready for bed and waiting for her bedtime spanking. She knows it's coming - and she knows she needs it. Her disciplinarian takes her over the knee until she's promising to be good tomorrow. Being a grown-up can be fun, but sometimes you need to be small. This short, sweet film encapsulates that sense of security, affection and reassurance which can come from being given a spanking at bedtime. Whether it's needed for stress relief, punishment, behaviour maintenance or just to settle your body and mind before sleep, sometimes there is nothing better than being soundly spanked, cuddled and tucked into bed by someone who loves you.

Such a lovely round spankable bottom - and it blushes so beautifully.
this took me to a very warm place... ty for sharin... :)
Loved the beginning when she is getting the spanking in the pyjamas. Should be a clip just to that as that was a perfect shot. Great clip! Thanks again!
There's no more to be said about 'Dreams of spanking' films, particularly the ones the feature Pandora. Simply perfect in every way!
This is really lovely. Thanks for posting. Apparently, women go to bed pretty early in the UK, eh? :)

Research Interests
Embedded vision, Embedded Systems, Parallel computing, FPGA/GPU/CPU systems, High-Level Synthesis, Applications of FPGA focused on computer vision, Bigdata, machine Learning, data compression and cloud computing.
I interned under Dr. Joo-Young Kim at Computer Architecture Group of Microsoft Research in Summer 2013. I designed and implemented the canonical Huffman encoding as part of Compression Accelerators project. The goal of this project was to design a real-time and efficient lossless data compression system on a low power device. The prototype of the system was implemented on three different platforms: Zynq device using Vivado HLS, ARM processor, and NIOS soft core processor.
I interned under Dr. Juanjo Noguera and Dr. Stephen Neuendorffer at Xilinx Research Labs, Dublin in Summer 2011. I designed a face detection system using the high-level synthesis tool Vivado HLS (formerly named as AutoESL). The face detection algorithm was based on the Viola and Jones algorithm. I created an efficient architecture (with help of my supervisors) for the integral image calculation part and the classification part of the algorithm. The final system achieved throughput of processing 1 pixel every clock cycle for the integral image calculation and cascade classification parts. This performance was the same as manually designed RTL.

I am a lip exflolating addict. I have several products from ETSY vendors which I love but ELF I love because I can stick it in my bag and tote it with me to use if I need to exfoliate my dry lips before using highly pigmented lipstick.
The formula at least on my stick is a little too gritty and dry on the flat end so I gently rub that on and then flip it to the otherside that's a bit more creamy. I'll get a weird shape I know but because it's not my color I can live with it.
The smell is honey and brown sugar and it tastes that way too. I do lick mine off then apply a balm like blistex renewal or silk and shine. blot it off then add my color.
Yes I will repurchase again. IT's my on the go product!

Love this to exfoliate my lip. Overall cant go wrong with this. It scrubs all the dead stuff off your lips. And perfect for when you apply you lipstick. My lips look fuller and healthier.

Great product that does exactly what it promises. Its used as a regular lipstick but instead of applying color it gently exfoliates your lips. I like to use this and then slather on vaseline before I go to sleep at night. When I wake up my lips are soft and fuller.

This is an awesome product. It is cheap and effective. It only takes a little bit of product to achieve the desired result. Within a minute I had nice, smooth lips. The tube is portable and elegant as well. I could not ask for more.

Love this stuff, use it in combination with Carmex to exfoliate. Sleek, sturdy packaging and the price is very cheap considering that it's a rather unique product. The ingredients are lovely (shea butter, vitamin e, etc) and it tastes sweet. Definitely repurchasing!

This is yet another extraordinary product from ELF. Although it's not exactly an essential to my beauty routine, it does live up to its claims. For $3.00!!! What? The more great products I get from ELF, the more convinced I am that other cosmetic companies are taking us all for a ride.
Sometimes I just have that little bit of icky dry skin that won't move no matter how much I moisturize, and that's where ELF's Lip Exfoliator comes in. That nasty wrinkly stuff is not cute under matte lipstick, so you HAVE to do something. It's not really a balm per se, although it is moisturizing, and it's not my primary lip moisturizer. For that, I use Blistex Deep Renewal, which has SPF 15. At first I didn't think it had enough friction to slough off much dead, dry skin, but once I wore down the tip it has much more friction. I don't wipe it off as the directions as ELF instructs. The sugar crystals melt and sugar is a humectant, which is never a bad thing. (If I'm applying it right before a lipstick, I do wipe it off.)
As someone else mentioned, I was worried that this would trigger a cold sore breakout, but I've been using it several times per week for that past 2-3 weeks and haven't found it irritating at all. My primary cold sore triggers are stress (can't do anything about that, can we?) and sun (the reason I wear the Blistex Deep Renewal). This exfoliator is very grainy, so just be careful and don't keep grinding it over your lips and you should be fine. If I get a breakout, I'll add a warning to the review. That doesn't mean it's not a terrific product for everyone else.
UPDATE 12/20/13: Now that I've been using this for over a month, I wanted to update my review especially for the winter and for those who are prone to cold sores who might be wary of this product.
It's been very snowy and dry here in Chicago, and I've been using this a LOT. At first I used it about 2 or 3 times per week, just to be safe because as I mentioned I'm prone to cold sores myself. You definitely have to be careful about making any tiny tears in your lips when you're vulnerable to those breakouts. Well, I started using it as a once a day treatment, and I'm happy to report there have been no breakouts. My lips don't feel sore or torn up after use, in fact quite the opposite. I think you would REALLY have to grind and grind this into your lips repeatedly for to cause any noticeable abrasion.
This week it's been soooo dry, and I've been using every balm and moisturizing gloss in my arsenal. But this just seems to really smooth out and penetrate my lips when nothing else works. Once you get down into the product it "melts" into your lips better and you get more of the sugar. It leaves a thin smattering of small grains on my lips and slowly melts into them, and I don't wipe it off like the instructions tell you to. It feels so good and smells so good it's addictive. This is stuff is fantastic, and it's been a real, uh, lip saver.

I purchased this after a fellow MUAer mentioned it on a board. Picked it up at Target. The price is great. I love the packaging and fact that it more of a solid in a lipstick form rather than a more liquid formula in a tube. Its easy to use and I feel the semi solid formula allows you to apply it with as much or as little pressure as you want. Does a nice job at removing dry patches. Moisturizes, smells and tastes sweet. Sugary. Overall I really like this product. I have used Philosophy's lip exfoliator also and actually prefer this. Price is right too. Give it a try. :)

This product is great to use to exfoliate your lips with to take off dead skin. It has a sweet smell to it, that I don't find to be overpowering. It has these exfoliating granuals of sugar throughout. Also, there are hydrating ingredients included within it too. So, this way, your lips can be left feeling softer and smoother looking after each time that you use this little miracle product!
I love this stuff so much till I actually own backups of it. As, I don't ever want to be without it.

This is a must have product if you're a lipstick junkie and/or live in cold climates like me. It takes all the dead skin off and leaves your lips nice and smooth and baby soft, perfect for lipstick application. After reading the other reviews, I discovered that apparently it's supposed to be moisturizing and it most deeeefinitely is not. I usually use this and then put some eos lip balm over top of it and it works pretty well for me. Also, the packaging to this is amazing. I've never purchased any other e.l.f. lipsticks other than the matte lip colors but I was honestly incredibly impressed by how sturdy and pleasing to the eye this was! I would really recommend this to anyone who suffers from chronic chapped and peeling lips, it works wonders!

When a girl is so obsessed with what another girls does and she won't leave her alone. What the other girl does doesn't even concern her, and it's not even a big deal but the thirsty girl just won't leave her alone.
If a girl works at a restaurant and has to wear lingerie for a themed week, the thirsty girl is so jealous that she can't dress like that and make money so she bashes her for no reason

The bad, the worse and the ugly
A couple of economic notes and an environmental question.
On the econ side, unemployment. The Mercatus Center explains our current unemployment situation and why the "official number" is a feel-good fantasy:
In case you missed it, the real unemployment rate is in the 11% range. Also note that before the recession, we were at around 9%. We're certainly doing better but why they continue to publish misleading numbers on the unemployment front is a mystery … oh, politics. Never mind.
It's better to be lied to and feel good about it than to know the truth.
Also, as a followup, the $15 minimum wage in SF and Seattle continues to take victims. While neither has fully implemented the wage at present, its enough to push business owners into making decisions which are unlikely the intended consequence of the wage raise. We told you about Borderland Books in SF. Here's an example from Seattle:
Cascade Designs, an outdoor recreational gear manufacturing company based in Seattle, announced it is moving 100 jobs (20% of the workforce) later this year to a new plant it is leasing near Reno, Nevada. The company has offered some employees positions in Reno, but others must reapply.
Founder John Burroughs and Vice Chair David Burroughs blamed Seattle's new $15 minimum wage, indicating it "nudged them into action." According to the owners, Seattle's new minimum wage would "eventually add up to a few million dollars a year."
Once established in Reno, you may see further moves. And:
The San Francisco Eater, a local publication following the city's restaurant scene, predicts that the impact of the $15 minimum will likely lead many restaurants to close their doors this year. Abbot's Cellar and Luna Park, popular locally owned restaurants, already made the decision to shut down. The owners both blamed the $15 minimum wage.
What's $15 times zero?
Finally on the enviro front, where's the outrage? From CATO:
Nicaragua's plan to build an Interoceanic Canal that would rival the Panama Canal could be a major environmental disaster if it goes forward. That's the assessment of Axel Meyer and Jorge Huete-Pérez, two scientists familiar with the project, in a recent article in Nature. Disturbingly, the authors point out,
"No economic or environmental feasibility studies have yet been revealed to the public. Nicaragua has not solicited its own environmental impact assessment and will rely instead on a study commissioned by the HKND [The Hong Kong-based company that has the concession to build the canal]. The company has no obligation to reveal the results to the Nicaraguan public."
In recent weeks we have seen similar opinions aired in the Washington Post, Wired, The Economist, and other media. In their article, Meyer and Huete-Pérez explain how the $50-billion project (more than four times Nicaragua's GDP), would require "The excavation of hundreds of kilometres from coast to coast, traversing Lake Nicaragua, the largest drinking-water reservoir in the region, [and] will destroy around 400,000 hectares of rainforests and wetlands." So far, the Nicaraguan government has remained mum about the environmental impact of the project. Daniel Ortega, the country's president, only said last year that "some trees have to be removed."
Some trees?! Where are the enviros whackos on this?
Interestingly, despite this potential massive threat to one of the most pristine environmental reservoirs in the Americas, none of the leading international environmental organizations, such as Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth or the Sierra Club, has issued a single statement about the Nicaragua Canal.
We know for a fact that this is not out of lack of interest in Central America. After all, some of these organizations were pretty vocal in their opposition to CAFTA. Why isn't the Nicaragua Canal proposal commanding the attention of these international environmental groups?
Why? Because as Insty points out, "commies get a pass" on this sort of thing.
The head "scientist" of the UN's IPCC has resigned
He's been called a "scientist" for years, but his training is in industrial engineering. He's about as much a climate scientist as I am. However, we've been constantly told that he and the IPCC speak for "science" when it comes to "climate change".
Well, today he stepped down, submitting his resignation amid allegations of sexual harrassment.
I'm talking about Rajendra Kumar Pachauri, of course. Head of the IPCC that has published scare warnings for years, few if any of which have come true.
So why is an industrial engineer seen as some sort of an authority on climate?
Well it's not because of his academic credentials, that's for sure. Instead, its for his leftist credentials:
'For me the protection of Planet Earth, the survival of all species and sustainability of our ecosystems is more than a mission. It is my religion and my dharma.'
In other words, his "science" is faith based.
And, the left says we should take him seriously … because, you know, "the science is settled".
Michael Crichton:
'One of the most powerful religions in the Western World is environmentalism. Environmentalism seems to be the religion of choice for urban atheists.'
Anyone – do you really believe an actual climate scientist will be recruited to fill the job?
Because … the Sun
It appears as the climate alarmists and our political betters pursue global warming (with the "big meeting" in December of this year), some scientists are much more concerned about global cooling.
Why? Uh, the Sun?
"The main driver of all weather and climate, the entity which occupies 99.86% of all of the mass in our solar system, the great ball of fire in the sky – has gone quiet again during what is likely to be the weakest sunspot cycle in more than a century," echoes vencoreweather.com. "Not since cycle 14 peaked in February 1906 has there been a solar cycle with fewer sunspots. We are currently more than six years into Solar Cycle 24 and today the sun is virtually spotless despite the fact that we are still in what is considered to be its solar maximum phase."
"There have been two notable historical periods with decades-long episodes of low solar activity," continues vencoreweather.com. "The first period is known as the "Maunder Minimum", named after the solar astronomer Edward Maunder, and it lasted from around 1645 to 1715. The second one is referred to as the "Dalton Minimum", named for the English meteorologist John Dalton, and it lasted from about 1790 to 1830.
"Both of these historical periods coincided with below-normal global temperatures in an era now referred to by many as the "Little Ice Age".
"If this trend continues for the next couple of cycles, then there would likely be more talk of another "grand minimum" for the sun."
This, of course, will be roundly ignored in December when the "world" meets to decide on how to address …
global warming climate change. Because the conclusion has been determined before the meeting. The meeting is about how much to charge you for fixing this nonexistent problem and how to divide up the loot.
Stray voltage
More subjects than one can conveniently throw a stick at … so we'll throw several sticks.
Have you seen the latest Brookings Institute poll on Obama's "greatness" as a President? It is interesting. They decided to poll the American Political Science Association. Their "consensus"?
First, President Obama ranks 18th overall, but beneath the surface of the aggregate figures lurks evidence of significant ambivalence. For example, those who view Obama as one of the worst American presidents outnumber those who view him as one of the best by nearly a 3-1 margin. Similarly, nearly twice as many respondents view Obama as over-rated than do those who consider him under-rated.
Well there you go. Even a liberal leaning think tank polling liberal leaning academics can't manage to put lipstick on a pig. 18th overall? Hilarious.
Remember we were told that Iraq was "poorly thought out" and that "armed intervention" was a mistake?
Wouldn't it be interesting if someone applied the same standard to Libya? Yesterday we got to see what some of the result of that awful decision when 21 Coptic Christians were beheaded by ISIS. And the White House reaction?
The United States condemns the despicable and cowardly murder of twenty-one Egyptian citizens in Libya by ISIL-affiliated terrorists.
Can't even get up the gumption to identify who the "Egyptians citizens" were. They weren't beheaded for being Egyptians, folks.
We call on all Libyans to strongly reject this and all acts of terrorism and to unite in the face of this shared and growing threat. We continue to strongly support the efforts of the United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General Bernardino Leon to facilitate formation of a national unity government and help foster a political solution in Libya.
Because, you know, Obama and the boys kind of broke the last government.
Meanwhile in Oregon, the Democratic governor resigns in disgrace, a victim of corruption in the "green energy" field.
It is a safe bet that Kitzhaber's implosion has sent the rest of the nation's Democratic governors, and even a few officeholders in Washington, scrambling to review their affairs. It is the very nature of green energy that its unprofitability ensures that it is only viable in the marketplace if it is subsidized at taxpayer expense. The political class' favorability toward clean energy and the media's deference to the project of green technology have created the perfect conditions where corruption can thrive.
Leftist billionaire Tom Steyer is deeply implicated in all of this. I wonder if he'll get the "Koch brothers" treatment by the media.
You can read on when you stop laughing hysterically.
Oh, and here's another in a long line of damning reports about ObamaCare.
On another subject, I'm old enough to remember friends crippled by polio and the "iron lung":
"We are at a stage where people have no memory of just how dangerous pathogens used to be. There is no visceral fear of viruses and bacteria. Children in wheelchairs as a result of polio are a thing of the past because the United States has been polio free since 1979 as a result of vaccines. The only people I've ever met who were hobbled by damage from polio were older than me. . . . I do not expect an innumerate and unscientific public to become more trusting of medical organizations that support vaccination. In some communities herd immunity has already been lost and it will be lost in more other communities. This trend will continue until an old disease comes sweeping thru and racks up lots of damage and fatalities."
On the other hand, the government has reported for 40 years that cholesterol was going to kill us and then, recently said, "never mind". But they still want us to believe their science about "global warming". That said, one small pox plague and I'd bet everything would change. Its hard to be fearful when you've never had to live with the results of awful afflictions like polio. I remember that being the greatest fear of many parents. Now, well, now they don't even give it a second thought. That's because of a vaccination, for heaven sake. Same with small pox. But then anti-vaxxers are using the same sort of science that warming alarmists do, so you shouldn't be particularly surprised.
Meanwhile in Wisconsin (not surprisingly, Madison, WI) 30 homes were spray painted with anti-Semitic graffiti. My guess is the White House would characterize the act as "a random act by some juvenile delinquents". I'm still in awe of the spineless characterization of the victims in the Kosher Deli in Paris as some "folks" in a random incident. But then, this is the same administration that for years characterized the Ft. Hood shootings as "workplace violence", so it really isn't a big surprise. Back in Madison, don't even begin to believe that the vandalism will ever be classified as a hate crime. That is reserved for favored minorities only.
Graeme Wood (read the whole thing) lays the wood to the cowardly among us who can't find it in themselves to identify the enemy and the enemy's foundation:
The reality is that the Islamic State is Islamic. Very Islamic. Yes, it has attracted psychopaths and adventure seekers, drawn largely from the disaffected populations of the Middle East and Europe. But the religion preached by its most ardent followers derives from coherent and even learned interpretations of Islam.
Virtually every major decision and law promulgated by the Islamic State adheres to what it calls, in its press and pronouncements, and on its billboards, license plates, stationery, and coins, "the Prophetic methodology," which means following the prophecy and example of Muhammad, in punctilious detail. Muslims can reject the Islamic State; nearly all do. But pretending that it isn't actually a religious, millenarian group, with theology that must be understood to be combatted, has already led the United States to underestimate it and back foolish schemes to counter it. We'll need to get acquainted with the Islamic State's intellectual genealogy if we are to react in a way that will not strengthen it, but instead help it self-immolate in its own excessive zeal.
Meanwhile, at the State Department and White House …
Stuff and whatnot
The idiocy continues on all sorts of fronts. A few things that caught my eye. David Axlerod's autobiography and his expectations:
"More than anything, this is what's terrible about modern media and how these books roll out," Axelrod says. "I was determined to write a book that wasn't going to be characterized by some titillating nugget that had about a three-day half-life, but rather an entire story of my life and the conclusions that life has led me to. I wanted to write a book that people might want to read years from now and not just today's publication because they wanted to find out who had been knifing who."
A lovely sentiment. But Axelrod, who likes to think of himself as a real-world idealist, surely knew not to get his hopes up.
Oh balderdash. Axelrod is about as calculating a political hack as one can find. To assume he was so naive or stupid to believe his book would be treated any other way is irony on steroids. The only thing interesting about the man at all are the political secrets he may reveal. I got a good laugh out of his disappointment.
Under the sarcastic title of "wow, I'd have never guessed this … " we find:
A shadowy Bermudan company that has funneled tens of millions of dollars to anti-fracking environmentalist groups in the United States is run by executives with deep ties to Russian oil interests and offshore money laundering schemes involving members of President Vladimir Putin's inner circle.
Look, those guys learned how to successfully co-opt liberal left anti-war groups ages ago. This is just the updated effort. Why this would surprise anyone is a mystery to me. And, of course, it's the big names of the movement – Sierra Club, the Natural Resource Defense Council, Food and Water Watch, the League of Conservation Voters, and the Center for American Progress. Bought and paid for … by evil oil.
Irony … it's just lost on the left.
Under the title of "when bureaucrats get huffy", things got a little testy in a Congressional hearing yesterday with the newest VA Secretary. Apparently he's not used to having his competence questioned:
The fracas started when Coffman criticized the VA for citing its effort to defend cost and time overruns at a Denver hospital projects as a major accomplishment.
"How is that a success?"
[Rep. Mike] Coffman [(R-Colo.)] asked. "You lost that case on every single point for the hospital in my district that is hundreds of millions of dollars over budget and years behind schedule."
"I think that that's just characteristic of your glossing over the extraordinary problems confronted by your department," Coffman added. "This is a department mired in bureaucratic incompetence and corruption. And I gotta tell you, I think the public relations is great today, but there's no substance."
McDonald said he was offended by those remarks, and then dodged the question and tried to shift the blame to Coffman and others in Congress.
"Actually, I've been here six months," McDonald said to Coffman. "You've been here longer than I have. If there's a problem in Denver, I think you own it more than I do."
Really … because Coffman has what to do with running the VA project in question? After all the failure of the past 6 years, that's just what you need, an egoistic, thin-skinned nincompoop at the head of the VA. McDonald followed that little jewel up by showing he knew nothing about the person he was insulting:
… McDonald ended by barking at Coffman, "I've run a large company, sir. What have you done?"
Well, as it happens, Mike Coffman is a combat veteran who started his own company, and is the only member of Congress to have served in both Iraq wars. And as it happens, Secretary McDonald is an ass, just like the head of the IRS, just like our Attorney General, just like … yes, it's the culture and climate that has evolved within this administration and it all goes directly to the head of it all … our snarky, sarcastic and disrespectful president.
Btw, in my estimation, McDonald ended up looking like a fool, something he richly deserved.
Instead of hurling insults, McDonald should be interested in actually doing something useful. Like his job:
The Department of Veterans Affairs' vast health network — beset by a scandal last year over delayed care — has been listed as a high-risk federal program by congressional auditors for the first time.
The report by the watchdog Government Accountability Office, which is issued every two years, includes a broad indictment of the $55.5 billion VA program, one of the nation's largest health care systems. USA TODAY obtained the VA section of the report, scheduled for release Wednesday.
And this goob, like most of the administration, is trying to lay off any blame. It's a perfect example of an ossified bureaucracy that is more than incompetent, it's lethal.
Finally, for those of you who like strolling down the memory lane of climate alarmist predictions, there's a website up dedicated to reminding us again how wrong they've all been:
A senior environmental official at the United Nations, Noel Brown, says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000.
San Jose Mercury News 30 Jun 1989
Ah, yes, the good old days.
"Global Warming" – one of the biggest scientific scandals of our time? (update)
That's what Christopher Booker contends:
Of much more serious significance, however, is the way this wholesale manipulation of the official temperature record – for reasons GHCN and Giss have never plausibly explained – has become the real elephant in the room of the greatest and most costly scare the world has known. This really does begin to look like one of the greatest scientific scandals of all time.
The manipulation of data (a nice way of saying changing the numbers to fit the premise) is the scandal.
Two weeks ago, under the headline "How we are being tricked by flawed data on global warming", I wrote about Paul Homewood, who, on his Notalotofpeopleknowthat blog, had checked the published temperature graphs for three weather stations in Paraguay against the temperatures that had originally been recorded. In each instance, the actual trend of 60 years of data had been dramatically reversed, so that a cooling trend was changed to one that showed a marked warming.
This was only the latest of many examples of a practice long recognised by expert observers around the world – one that raises an ever larger question mark over the entire official surface-temperature record.
Yeah, yeah, say the alarmists. Three whole weather stations. Get real!
Following my last article, Homewood checked a swathe of other South American weather stations around the original three. In each case he found the same suspicious one-way "adjustments". First these were made by the US government's Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN). They were then amplified by two of the main official surface records, the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (Giss) and the National Climate Data Center (NCDC), which use the warming trends to estimate temperatures across the vast regions of the Earth where no measurements are taken. Yet these are the very records on which scientists and politicians rely for their belief in "global warming".
Homewood has now turned his attention to the weather stations across much of the Arctic, between Canada (51 degrees W) and the heart of Siberia (87 degrees E). Again, in nearly every case, the same one-way adjustments have been made, to show warming up to 1 degree C or more higher than was indicated by the data that was actually recorded. This has surprised no one more than Traust Jonsson, who was long in charge of climate research for the Iceland met office (and with whom Homewood has been in touch). Jonsson was amazed to see how the new version completely "disappears" Iceland's "sea ice years" around 1970, when a period of extreme cooling almost devastated his country's economy.
And, of course, if one needs more proof, they need only look at the predictions gone horribly wrong on all the computer simulations which were based on these unscientific and fully fudged numbers. But you have to admire the audacity of those who will fudge numbers to match a "theory" when reality (ie Iceland) wasn't anything like they pretend. Garbage in, garbage out.
This is something the scientific community needs to confront and confront now – if it hopes to retain a shred of credibility and integrity. This sort of agenda driven political manipulation is both unacceptable and unscientific.
Here's Dave Barton disputing someone who contends Booker is wrong. He puts a number to the difference:
Christopher Booker thinks NOAA is distorting global land temperature data to inflate reported global warming, and fan the flames of climate alarmism.
Dr. Kevin Cowtan contends Booker is wrong. Dr. Cowtan trusts that NOAA's adjustments are justified and correct, and he also says they are too minor to be questionable. "Why would they do that?" he asks at the end of his video, meaning why would anyone commit fraud for an inconsequential difference in the result?
I don't know with certainty whether or not NOAA's adjustments are all justified and correct, but I found Dr. Cowtan's argument unpersuasive, for two reasons.
The first reason is that he's assuming that fraudulent intent is the only possible explanation for biased results, but it isn't. If the results are biased to exaggerate warming, it could also be due to confirmation bias or other error, by people with the best of intentions.
However, Dr. Cowtan's argument also depends on the adjustments being inconsequential, and they are not. I digitized the endpoints of one of Dr. Cowtan's graphs using WebPlotDigitizerand found that his own analysis proves NOAA's adjustments are far from inconsequential. By comparing the adjusted and unadjusted versions of Dr. Cowtan's graphs of globally averaged land surface temperatures, I found that NOAA's adjustments increased the reported warming by 35%.
35% is not inconsequential.
No. 35% is not "inconsequential".
So, why does this even make it to the "presidential level"
The "this"? Keystone XL pipeline. Why is the president at all involved in this decision? Why is he threatening a veto if the Republican Congress passes a bill authorizing it?
The nation's pipelines are a transportation system. Pipelines enable the safe movement of extraordinary quantities of energy products to industry and consumers, literally fueling our economy and way of life. The arteries of the Nation's energy infrastructure, as well as one of the safest and least costly ways to transport energy products, our oil and gas pipelines provide the resources needed for national defense, heat and cool our homes, generate power for business and fuel an unparalleled transportation system.
The nation's more than 2.6 million miles of pipelines safely deliver trillions of cubic feet of natural gas and hundreds of billions of ton/miles of liquid petroleum products each year. They are essential: the volumes of energy products they move are well beyond the capacity of other forms of transportation. It would take a constant line of tanker trucks, about 750 per day, loading up and moving out every two minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to move the volume of even a modest pipeline. The railroad-equivalent of this single pipeline would be a train of 75 2,000-barrel tank rail cars everyday.
Pipeline systems are the safest means to move these products.
The source? The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration of the Department of Transportation. Yes, that's right, the US government. Executive branch.
Note the facts – 2.6 million miles of pipeline safely moving petroleum products 24/7. Look at would be required without them.
Oh, wait, look what's required without Keystone – trucking and railcars, of course. And who has a major stake in those operations continuing? You know how this works … follow the money.
Can you say "cronyism"?
Sure you can.
The most "transparent administration", ever!
Btw, GOP … make his veto it or forever be held as the cowards most think you are (after all, you didn't even have the courage to dump Boehner).
Another AGW myth … gone with the wind
We've seen it any number of times. Whenever there is a weather event, well, the true believers come out of the woodwork to declare it to be the "worst" in umpteen thousand years and, of course, caused by man. The "Chicken Little" contingent never looks for a more reasonable or scientific explanation, they've got their models and their junk science and that's all they need. So when California went into a state of extreme drought, what was the claim? Yup, it was caused by man and his emissions.
One problem with the claim – it's just not true:
Natural weather patterns, not man-made global warming, are causing the historic drought parching California, says a study out Monday from federal scientists.
"It's important to note that California's drought, while extreme, is not an uncommon occurrence for the state," said Richard Seager, the report's lead author and professor with Columbia University's Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. The report was sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The report did not appear in a peer-reviewed journal but was reviewed by other NOAA scientists.
"In fact, multiyear droughts appear regularly in the state's climate record, and it's a safe bet that a similar event will happen again," he said.
History! Go figure. "Not uncommon".
Not only that, but this important point:
The persistent weather pattern over the past several years has featured a warm, dry ridge of high pressure over the eastern north Pacific Ocean and western North America. Such high-pressure ridges prevent clouds from forming and precipitation from falling.
The study notes that this ridge — which has resulted in decreased rain and snowfall since 2011 — is almost opposite to what computer models predict would result from human-caused climate change.
"Almost the opposite of what the computer models predict." There's a surprise.
And the dissenters?
"The authors of the new report would really have us believe that is merely a coincidence and has nothing to do with the impact of human-caused climate change?" Penn State meteorologist Michael Mann wrote Monday in The Huffington Post. "Frankly, I don't find that even remotely plausible."
This, coming from the discredited author of the hockey stick effect and a false claim of a Nobel prize is something we should even consider? His dissent is more "plausible" than the findings of the study? Yeah, not really. Weather is weather. Someone should clue Mann into how it works.
While the NOAA study easily refutes the alarmist claim, NOAA, being a government agency, isn't immune to pushing the AGW myth itself, at least a little:
The NOAA report says midwinter precipitation is projected to increase because of human-caused climate change over most of the state. Seager said a low-pressure system, not a high-pressure system, would probably form off the California coast because of climate change.
Low pressure creates clouds and precipitation.
Yes, you see, "human-caused climate change" is now regional … er, global. Tell me again how that high pressure ridge came to be there? Oh, nevermind. And note, even if you want to believe in AGW, in this case, it would actually be a "good thing". Oh, bother.
It's not about "climate change", it's about power and control
Concerning "climate change" and Obama's "deal" with China, Roger L. Simon nails it:
1. Most Americans don't think Obama tells the truth about anything, let alone something as controversial as climate. They just made that clear by voting him down in about 237 elections, if you believe Obama's own assertion that his own policies were on trial.
2. No one really knows if "climate change" exists or, if it does, whether its danger is remotely worth the money to correct it, although we do know that "global warming" has not occurred for eighteen years and counting and there is, if anything, global cooling with record lows being set everywhere, the Antarctic ice cap also at record levels, etc. (Yes, yes, climate is not weather, blablabla. Climate is… anything you want to say it is.)
3. Anyone who still believes in "climate change" is likely to be: a. a profiteer (like the financial wizards who put together those "carbon exchanges" a few years back, making off with billions before they went belly up), b. a scientist looking for a handout, c. a bureaucrat or official of a Third World country looking for a handout, d. an official of the UN (virtually the same as c), e. a moral narcissist, preferably rich, who thinks he knows better than us idiots, scientific training not required (cf. Tom Steyer, this year's George Soros wannabe), f. a true-believing liberal camp follower of the sort that doesn't care when Nancy Pelosi says you have to pass Obamacare in order to know what's in it (this is the largest group), or g. a journalist blinded by panic about losing their job if they dare to tell even part of the truth or wander off the reservation.
However it is the opponents of this scam who are reviled and called "deniers".
The fact is, there is no proof that what the alarmists fear exists or will exist. Science doesn't support their hypothesis and reality doesn't support the conclusions of their modeling. But the man who said that "science" would take precedence in his administration has yet to demonstrate that. This is about control. Power. This is the crew that would tell you every step of the way how you should live your life. They've now gotten their claws into your healthcare. And this helps them control what energy you use and, by the way, literally creates a revenue stream out of thin air. Revenue streams are important, because that's one way they exert their control.
As for China – they too know this man as Simon points out:
How do the Chinese figure in all this? Since they break into practically every computer we own, we can assume they also read our newspapers and watch Fox News (maybe even MSNBC, Heaven help them). Besides Obama's being a lame duck who was clobbered in the last election, they are fully aware of his myriad lies and prevarications from "If like your plan…" to red lines in Syria. No one trusts him, even members of his own party.
The Chinese therefore know any deal with Obama is just for show, meaningless. But to make doubly sure, they arranged for the language in the agreement to say "intend" to reduce their emissions by such-and-such by 2020 — "intend," the mother of all wiggle words. (I "intend" to win the Oscar in 2016, even though I have not written the script yet.) Actually, the Chinese, as usual, did a brilliant job of using Obama for their own propaganda, knowing full well that he was desperate to be back in the news for something positive, preferably as far from D.C. as possible.
January, 2017 can't come soon enough.
Climate change "deal" with China just an excuse for executive action
Given this "deal", Obama seems to be a used car salesman's dream, but I've come to believe there is a method to this madness. And it is madness:
President Barack Obama announced Wednesday that the U.S. has set a new goal to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by between 26 percent and 28 percent over the next 11 years as part of a climate change agreement with China.
The new target is a drastic increase from earlier in Obama's presidency, when he pledged to cut emissions by 17 percent by 2020. By contrast, Obama's counterpart, Xi Jinping, did not pledge any reductions by a specific date, but rather set a target for China's emissions to peak by 2030, or earlier if possible. Xi also pledged to increase the share of energy that China will derive from sources other than fossil fuels. China's emissions have grown in recent years due to the building of new coal plants.
"This is a major milestone in the U.S.-China relationship," Obama told a news conference in Beijing, with Xi at his side. "It shows what's possible when we work together on an urgent global challenge."
No. No it's not anywhere near a "milestone" at all. If that's the "deal", he was owned by the Chinese premier. Instead it is another bad deal used to push an ideological desire. This certainly won't be ratified as a treaty with a GOP Congress (if it is even submitted as a treaty). And anyone who thinks China won't ignore, or unilaterally extend its 2030 peak use simply knows nothing about how China works.
So the "King" will, apparently, do further damage to the economy by using this bit of nonsense as his catalyst for umpteen executive orders because, you know he has a pen, a phone and an ideology.
Thank goodness that only lasts for 2 more years with a GOP Congress (assuming the GOP Congress has any fiscal balls when it comes to defunding the stupidity he commits to his "executive actions"). If you loved ObamaCare you're going to rave about this bit of economic stupidity.
In the meantime, grab your wallets and bend over, here it comes again.

Manufacturer's representatives are responsible for communicating and responding to the inquiries of existing and prospective customers on behalf of their company. They are in charge of interacting with clients and solving client issues. Two of their main responsibilities are to portray a professional attitude and provide excellent service. Depending on specific projects, they are also in charge of generating sales and increasing brand loyalty. They share key product and customer information with coworkers to reach all company goals in a timely manner. They work well in a team setting but can also perform efficiently on their own. These individuals are organized and pay close attention to detail. They report their progress to the manufacturer's supervisor in their department. They also participate in business meetings to suggest changes to field strategies, as well as make recommendations based on their observations and customer feedback. They can also research market trends and modify behaviors to improve product recognition. Manufacturer's representatives use their excellent multitasking skills to work in a fast-paced environment with strict deadlines. They also order new product displays and work hard to improve company awareness. Among their other duties are distributing company or product information and escalating client issues as needed.Read More...
Manufacturer's representatives possess strong communication skills to explain manufacturer's products or services in detail. They use a personal computer to record customer data for future references and notes regarding meetings. They are proficient with office software and can create detailed reports based on their client interactions, as well as keep financial information in a spreadsheet. A high school diploma is required for this position. In addition, previous years of work experience in a representative capacity can be helpful. Industry certifications are a plus.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Manufacturer's Representatives, experience and pay levels seem to be correlated; more years in the business generally lead to more money. Folks who are navigating the first five years of their careers have a median salary of approximately $47K in this position. Those who have been around for five to 10 years don't get much more, though; the median salary in that group is $55K. Manufacturer's Representatives who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $76K. Manufacturer's Representatives who have acquired more than 20 years of relevant experience earn significantly more than folks with fewer years on their resumes; the average income in this veteran group is $93K.

The most important thing about my kneejerk reaction to the beta is that this is my take on things. The beta is open on every platform and you should play it to form your own opinions.

I love that!
It's kind of interesting how little distortion the projected image has when it goes around corners.
Yes, there is some distortion but, on details of flat walls and door frames, etc, it's not really bad. On walls, floors and ceilings that are at right angles, the image is distorted but not so much as I imagined it would be. It only looks like it's been bent around the corner with a little trapezoidal stretching.

Register with program's group leader in designated area.
We'll return to the hotel at 4:30 PM.
At 10:30, the bus will depart for a trip to White Stallion Dude Ranch. A working cattle ranch, this beautiful facility offers many wonderful programs to people of all ages. We'll enjoy the beautiful setting and landscaping, and will hear a short presentation about the Ranch's history.
In the 1940s, Arizona artist Ted DeGrazia had little success finding a gallery to represent him, so he decided to take matters into his own hands. First he built a studio at the corner of Prince Road and Campbell in Tucson, but as the city grew around him, he and his wife Marion bought 10 isolated acres in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains where they built a chapel, home, and a small adjoining gallery to exhibit his art. The prolific artist soon needed more space to house his continuing output of originals. As his fame and finances flourished, he designed and built a larger adobe galley on the site and moved his growing collections out of what is now known as the Little Gallery at DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun.
Established in 1922, El Charro Caf� of Tucson is the nation�s oldest Mexican restaurant in continuous operation by the same family. Featuring traditional Sonoran-style and innovative Tucson-style Mexican food, they have several locations thoughout Tucson.
After the tram excursion, we'll have some time to explore on our own. There is a self-guided Desert Nature Trail at the Sabino Canyon Visitor Center that provides an excellent way to get to know the plants that have adapted to living in this demanding environment.
Bus returns to the hotel about 5:00 PM.
Located just a few blocks from the hotel is "Restaurant Row," where many different kinds of restaurants will lend themselves to our dining pleasure. If the hotel van is available, the hotel can provide transportation.
This Museum is a world-renowned zoo, natural history museum, and botanical garden, all in one location. Exhibits depict the natural landscape of the Sonora Desert region so realistically that you find yourself looking into the eyes of mountain lions, prairie dogs, Gila monsters and more! There are almost 2 miles of paths among the 21 acres of beautiful desert, which is home to more than 300 animal species and 1,200 kinds of plants.
The celebrated Jesuit missionary and explorer, Father Eusebio Francisco Kino, first visited 'Bac" in 1692. Eight years later in 1700, Father Kino laid the foundations of the first church, some two miles north of the present Mission site. He named it San Xavier in honor of his chosen patron, St. Francis Xavier, the illustrious Jesuit "Apostle of the Indies."
In 1768, Fray Francisco Hermengildo Garces, a man of outstanding personality and prodigious accomplishments among all missionaries in Arizona, established his headquarters at San Xavier. From here, this Franciscan Friar set forth on his many missionary explorations.
Bus returns to the hotel at 4:30 PM.

THE greatest gift that a parent can bestow on a child is a love of reading. A generation ago, however, Black parents had to search far and wide to find children's books that featured African-American characters. And even when you found the "Black section" in book stores, the range of offerings aimed at young, Black readers was disappointingly limited.
Thank God times have changed. Today a wealth of Black authors and illustrators are creating wonderful stories to engage and enthrall Black young people, whether they are beginning readers or adolescents. With so much to choose from, parents and children can build a personal library that the whole family will enjoy for years to come. Here are some of the most recent releases:
Lulu's Birthday (Greenwillow Books, $15.95) is a brightly illustrated story about two children and their ambitious attempts to help their Aunt Lulu celebrate her birthday, written by Elizabeth Fitzgerald Howard, illustrated by Pat Cummings.
In Just the Two of Us (Scholastic, $16.95), actor/rapper Will Smith follows a father/son relationship through three stages in the child's life. This entertaining picture book, with illustrations by Kadir Nelson, owes a slight hat tip to singer Bill Withers, whose 1980 hit of the same name provided the inspiration and the backbeat for Smith's 1997 rap version of the song. But both in his rap and in this rap-influenced book, Smith manages to turn Withers' love song into a joyous celebration of fatherhood.
Minnie Saves the Day (Little Brown, $12.95) is the first adventure in a series of chapter books featuring a plucky rag doll named Minnie, who, unbeknownst to Hester, the little girl who owns her, comes to life when the really-for-real folks aren't around. …

Picture: Chris Brown - 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards at Staples Center - Arrivals at Grammy Awards, Staples Center - Los Angeles, CA, United States - Sunday...
The Virginia police chief caught up in Chris Brown's community service controversy has resigned.
Chief Bryan Norwood announced he was stepping down from the top post on Tuesday (12Feb13) - less than a week after Brown appeared in a Los Angeles court to face questions concerning the 202 hours he claims to have served at the Tappahannock Children's Center in Virginia.
Brown's community service is currently under review after Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Mary Murray noted "significant discrepancies indicating at best sloppy documentation and at worst fraudulent reporting" in the papers provided by Norwood, who signed off on all documents detailing the singer's work.
Murray highlighted one inconsistency in the report from November, 2011, when Norwood claimed the singer had racked up 103 days of service. However, the Kiss Kiss hitmaker's probation officer only gave Brown credit for 88 days in a letter dated three months later (Feb12).
Prosecutors are demanding the case judge reject the star's community service hours in his native Virginia and make him fulfil his obligation in Los Angeles.
Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, slammed the allegations following his client's 6 February (13) hearing , branding the accusations "vicious and unwarranted".
The embattled musician, who is still on probation following his infamous 2009 attack on then-girlfriend Rihanna, is due back in court on 5 April (13).
The Umbrella beauty has since reunited with Brown and the couple put its affections for one another on show by sitting together and hugging during Sunday's (10Feb13) Grammy Awards.

What is the best way to test for retained fix in films and papers?

What is the best way to test for retained fix in films and papers?
Kodak HT-2 test. It is a solution of distilled water, acetic acid, and silver nitrate that darkens in contact with residual fixer. The formula is online and in several older Kodak darkroom dataguides.
I didn't read every post in this thread but I am interested in saving water since I live in Southern California and we are always in a drought or a water shortage.
I was just wondering if anyone is filtering or recycling their water? I am thinking of using an aquarium set up were the water is run thru a filtration system. Most aquarium filtration systems use activated carbon to trap most impurities. A pre filter can also be used. Bio beeds would not be needed since there isn't any bio waste. If water changes seem to be the most important part of washing film or paper. Why not use an air pump to lift the fixer off the film or paper. The air pump would act as an agitation, much the same way it does in a nitrogen burst developing system. The air pump would keep the water moving and keep it moving over the film or paper. The circulation pump can run the water thru the filtration system. I have aquarium enclosed filtration cannisters that flow 100 gallons per hour, and larger ones are available on the market. Has anyone tried this setup before? If you have what are the pros and cons?
Read the definitive washing thread recenly posted here with real data.
Thanks Harry. I could not find that! ;) Old age.
Heico perm wash film 1 mim wash 1 min perm wash 1 min wash archival. Paper no longer than 5 mins. Don't screw around with all this crap. I have used it for 30 years works great. Min water usage.
Running water.
Washing in running water is the best, to cut your wash time, use a Hypo clearing solution, it is fairy cheap and will cut your washing time by 50 to 60 percent. Fix for as twice as long as it takes to clear, thats all the film needs, if your film clears in 2 minutes, fix it for 4 minutes total.(including the first 2 minutes). The less time the film spends in the fixer, the less excess hypo clear and your will have a shorter wash time.
You should also use a hypo clearing solution with your fiber base prints, it greatly reduces the prints wash time.
"The less time the film spends in the fixer, the less excess hypo clear and your will have a shorter wash time."
Not sure about this... since a film has no fiber unlike FB papers. So an extended fixing time doesn't mean you'll have to extend the washing time.

Two masked gunmen carjacked a driver in Roosevelt early Sunday morning, Nassau County police said.
The 24-year-old man was driving a Toyota northbound on Brookside Avenue when a vehicle struck him from behind near Cramer Court and both cars pulled over at 4:30 a.m., police said.
That's when the duo flashed their handguns and ordered the victim out of the vehicle, police said.
The duo got in the victim's car along with the driver of the second car, which two others got in before both vehicles fled the scene northbound on Brookside Avenue, police said.
New York State Police found the unoccupied Toyota on the westbound Southern State Parkway near Elmont Road.
There was no description of the suspects.
First Squad detectives request anyone with information regarding this crime to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
