"wow. what a truly diverse and varied group of "tastemakers". one more reason why PW is a joke of a weekly rag."
"In Philly, we play both types of music. Hip hop AND indie rock! No, but seriously, you guys couldn't find a few more MCs and DJs to contribute?"
"Stop hating. There isn't even an indie rock station on main stream radio in Philly. Philadelphia is known for Soul music and Hip-Hop. And more music industry DJs have come out of Philly than any other city in the world. Whether it's Josh Wink, Diplo or Jazzy Jeff, we have dominated DJ culture for the last 30 years."
"I call it as I see it, and I see a music scene far more diverse in this city than was given credit by these so-called "taste makers". Maybe if there was someone over 35 contributing to PW, we'd hear about it. Oh, and if you're actually under the impression that there isn't an indie rock station in Philly, there's a little station called WXPN. You should tune in sometime! You'll get all the Avett Brothers and Dr. Dog your little eardrums can handle. (But only if Pitchfork says it's okay)"
We're taking you on a whirlwind tour of Philly's sonic citizens—in the clubs, on the road, off the map and over the top.

Server virtualisation is rapidly becoming a mainstay of the enterprise datacentre, as firms look to increase utilisation rates across their server estate, and squeeze every drop of value out of existing infrastructure.
But as those utilisation rates rise, organisations may be unwittingly weakening one of their core defences. Traditionally, backup technologies have been able to use untapped server capacity to protect vital data without interrupting day-to-day activity. In a virtual environment there is far less capacity for backup to exploit; there is a risk that backup will disrupt mission-critical operations.
So how can firms unleash the benefits of server virtualisation without undermining the business continuity efforts?
A recent Computing web seminar, in association with EMC, examined the principles of business continuity in a virtual environment. Our panel discussed the technologies which can help ensure business continuity plans remain robust and explored best practice for backup in a virtual world.

If I can see what designs your thong has on it, they're definitely too tight.

VIDEO: Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking in first trailer for The Theory of Everything
Posted: August 07, 2014|
Comments (0)
The first trailer for a new biopic on Stephen Hawking's life, partly filmed in Cambridge and starring Eddie Redmayne as the professor, has been released.
Tracing Hawking's early university years, and his subsequent motorneurone disease diagnosis, the film is really all about his relationship with his first wife Jane, played by Felicity Jones.
Emily Watson and David Thewlis also star in the film, which will be in cinemas in January.
Some scenes were filmed in Cambridge, as the News reported last year.

Federal STD Prevention Found Healthy by CDC
Byline: Cheryl Wetzstein, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Some 32 million cases of gonorrhea were averted in the last three decades, thanks in part to government-funded prevention efforts, federal researchers said last week.
This shows that sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention efforts are "effective and economically sound strategies" for improving the nation's health, said Dr. John M. Douglas Jr., director of the STD prevention programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
CDC research, released last week at a conference in the Netherlands, examined the impact of federal funding of STD prevention programs through state and local health departments. Researchers estimated that prevention programs resulted in 32 million fewer cases of gonorrhea between 1971 and 2003.
They also estimated that $5 billion in direct medical costs was saved because of reductions in cases of gonorrhea and syphilis between 1990 and 2003.
At last week's conference, the CDC released new information about chlamydia, the United States' most commonly reported STD with 877,478 cases reported in 2003. About 2.2 percent of the adult population, ages 14-39, has chlamydia, the CDC said.
In general, men and women have about the same rates of infection. However, when specific age groups and other characteristics are examined, young women, low-income youths and blacks have a high prevalence of chlamydia.
Chlamydia can be transmitted via vaginal, oral and anal sex. It is curable with antibiotics; however, it doesn't cause any symptoms in about three-quarters of infected women and about half of infected men. …

Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue

5th Avenue is not a very original and somewhat cheap smelling floral fragrance. Lots of different flower notes are thrown in here and it is hard to say which one dominates (maybe none). Overall it smells quite fresh and spring-like. It has a good staying power and sillage. I like the elegant tall bottle, but the fragrance itself elegant is not, in my opinion. Not totally bad, but I won�t repurchase.

Eau dear! Eau de Fly Spray! Eau no!
I really wanted to like this. The reviews made it sound like just what I was looking for, a work perfume with a bit of extra je ne sais quoi. On me this wasn't it. The second it hit my skin, all I could think of was fly spray, and it stayed that way. The only good thing was that it wore off after about an hour.
This review is based on sampling the tester. It was in Boots so it shouldn't have been dodgy in any way, as in old or off or fake. Because I so much want to like it, I'm going to try another store and see if the result with their tester is any better. If it is I'll update, otherwise I'm going to have to write it off as one that just doesn't work with my body chemistry.
Update.....tried the tester in Debenhams today. No difference, still fly spray. Oh well.........

I loooove this scent! I love perfumes but I rarely find one I fall in love with. I usually think I find one I like but after buying it and trying it out I don't really like it. I have about 6 sitting on my bathroom counter that I almost never wear. I feel like so many perfumes are just not me if that makes any sense. I like perfumes that have a good balance of many notes. This 5th Ave fits the bill! I discovered this while aimlessly wandering around waiting for my sister. I loved the scent immediately, it just seemed to grab me which never happens.
I'm not good at describing scents but I'll do my best. I feel like it's a good balance of different notes. It's feminine but not overly so, it seems to have a hint of some type of fresh flowers with a little bit of musk. I wouldn't really say this has a sweet scent at all but that's fine with me because I don't like too much of a sweet perfume. When I think of sweet perfume, I think of cheap tacky perfumes by Paris Hilton. This smells classy but not in an old woman way like Chanel No 5. This smells classy but still young and pretty and it smells really good with my body chemistry. It's sexy but not in a heavy, overpowering, in your face type of way like Dior's Poison or YSL's Opium which I find disgusting. I feel like this just smells like what a woman should smell like.
Plus, I like that this isn't a "fragrance of the moment" that everybody runs out and buys. I use to wear D&G Light Blue but I got really sick of it because EVERYBODY wore it. My friend had it, one of my coworkers had it, so did my best friend's mom. This is a fragrance that not a lot of people wear because they've never heard of it but it has universal appeal.
This is pricey but not as bad as some, bought the 2.5 oz for $46 at Macys but wanted to kick myself when I saw that a reviewer said you can get this at TJ Maxx for $20. Well now I know where to go after my bottle runs out. Basically, I love this, I can't stop smelling myself and I will continue to buy.
Just for anyone that's interested in a more professional description of the scent, here is what it says on the Macy's website:
"An elegant bouquet of lilac, linden blossom, dewy magnolia and muquet is interwoven with exotic mandarin and bergamot for an expression of pure, sparkling sophistication."

5th Avenue is a pleasant surprise. Not just another generic fruity floral. This scent has wonderful green notes which give it immediate depth that other scents lack these days. 5th Ave smells classy and classic.
I love the drydown on this. Florals and greens meld with Tibetan musk and sandalwood, mysterious but not overwhelmingly so. Thus; this remains appropriate for day wear but interesting enough for evening wear. Quite accomplished for a fairly inexpensive scent.
I highly recommend this scent for ladies of almost any age for almost any occasion.

Price- this perfume is expensive, as every high-end fragrance ought to be.
Packaging- the unmistakable golden skyscraper with the square frosted glass cap. amazingly simple, amazingly classy, will definitely look amazing on every vanity because of the perfect combo-the golden liquid inside combines perfectly with the simplicity of the design. i honestly think this is the most beautiful, elegant and functional perfume flacon. i've used a ton of perfumes so far but none impressed me in terms of design like this one did.
i also like the fact that the bottle is not embossed (though i don't know if it wouldn't actually look even better) but displays a little 'label' with the 5th avenue name on it...in red letters. very elegant.
the scent- now ladies. time to have a little talk.
i'm not a professional, not at all. i don't own half of what other fashionistas/makeup girls own because i am on a student budget and can't afford it. but if there's anything i can honestly say, it would be that i DO know scents. i go shopping every day, even if it's just for fun, window shopping you know, and i always sniff and sniff and sniff perfumes...been doing this since the sixth grade. i couldn't always afford buying what i liked, as i said, but i got ' the knowledge', so to speak.
nothing infuriates and pleases me more than reading the comments that have been written here for this fragrance. it pleases me because well...we all like our scents to be unique and if not so many girls will wear this perfume, then it means i'm going to be the only one having it. in my circle of friends and colleagues nobody has even heard of it, so thumbs up for me.
now for the 'anger' part (lol!)- girls...this perfume is NOT generic. Dolce & Gabbana IS, Dior IS, Chanel IS, anything else is, but this one. how many scents can you compare this with?? i'll honestly tell you, none. i have never encountered another fragrance that can be compared with this one, ever. it is unique, elegant and impressive.
i can't stand when everybody gets the same perfume just because someone else is using it. that's just silly. this perfume, as i mentioned, is something that will grant you uniqueness and have people ask you what you're wearing.
the scent...i can describe it as a mixture of ice cold water, warm honey and a field of flowers....spring and summer flowers, freesias, lilies, orchids, a couple of roses...it is not sweet, it is not fresh, it's both. this is the only perfume i cannot categorize in a sweet or fresh group as it can be both. many reviewers observed it's 'versatile'- exactly because it can be worn at any occasion, with any outfit, any moment of the day or night.
my male friends LOVE it and my ex used to ask me to buy it every time i'd mention i wanted to get a new fragrance! ALL of my male friends say it's special and one of a kind.
the scent is warm and gives me the impression of 'woman'. Not the Paris Hilton woman kind of thing you get with D&G's The One for example, of Miss Dior Cherie (EVERYBODY has it, every bimbo with silicone and extensions, because they've heard it's 'hot'). Not the puckered up old British lady woman you get with Chanel no.5 or Chance (that perfume is ROUGH, smells like wood, would work great on an old lady who smokes, the harsh lines work great with the acidity of tobacco).
5th avenue is Jackie Kennedy and Grace Kelly with a hint of Marylin Monroe. It's chic, first of all, elegant, timeless, classy, not overbearing at all yet it does appear as a signature...everybody asks me what i'm wearing and they all love it.
It is a feminine fragrance that was created to work with the heat of your body. this is the only perfume i've been constantly repurchasing since i was in highschool and have gone through MANY bottles so far.
it's not something of a statement. it's not a 'specific', particular fragrance you'd wear only once or twice and then forget about it because it was nothing more than a 'cool' and interesting fragrance.
this fragrance is like a diamond- forever.

Like others have already pointed out, the scent is quite generic and doesn't stand out, that's the only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. However, that doesn't mean it doesn't smell good! It smells wonderful! Younger women will be attracted to its sweet floral scent, while older women will like its subtle elegance. The fact that this perfume can suit women of all ages, is perhaps one of it's best qualities, however, at the same time, this is what makes the perfume smell generic as well

I was drawn to 5th avenue a while back while I was going through a phase where all the heavier perfumes I usually love were making me nauseous (hormones?). This is a very simple, pretty floral and for some reason I really liked it at the time, although the phase didn't last long and I didn't use much of it. I still can't say anything bad about it, it's pretty and clean smelling and, as others have said, safe. But it bores me now. It even stands apart from the other fragrances on my dresser as it doesn't fit in (sad) :). Picture a very clean, well scrubbed preppy girl at a party with a bunch of old, worldly dames, elegant ladies and femme fatales. I may end up using on a very hot day in the summer, or I may just pass it along.

I am sorry but I don't know the top notes and low notes on fragrances, but what I know is that I love using this in the summer. It's very flowery and summery on me and I received quite a few compliments.

I love this fragrance. My mother gave it to me this year for my 18th birthday. She said that a few years ago she saw a young woman pass her by and she noticed this scent. My mother rushed/stalked the girl and asked her what she was wearing. My ma told me that the girl was wearing this. She said that this type of fragrance conjured up thoughts about me, and she could see me wearing this and it being a part of me. I remember her skipping the phone bill for the month so she could buy me this and her huge smile when she saw that I loved it.
It is an elegant and sophisticated fragrance with just the right amount of innocence. It is warm and strong when you spray it on, but then it dries down to a sexy scent. I don't know a lot about fragrance but I definitely smell some vanilla and musk here, but not overpowering. There's also hints of a powdery, almost baby lotion type smell and amber. It falls in all fragrance genres if you ask me, it has floral/woodsy/oriental/fresh tones in it. Which is great for people like me who either like everything or can't make up their minds too easily.
The packaging is a very simple emerald cut bottle with a frosty plastic cap with curves towards the mouth. It is very beautiful and can easily make a desk or a vanity look expensive. It is easy to hold and to close. And one doesn't have to worry about it knocking down other bottles or it taking too much precious space.
I think this is a great fragrance for young women my age. It's not as sweet as most teens would prefer but not pretending and strong as more "mature" scents. It has that "I'm young and I wanna have fun" but also "I'm also intelligent,caring, self-assuring and strong while still finding my way around the edges" kinda thing. It lasts a long time. I remember playing basketball and still smelling like I had just put this on after 8hrs! It can get heavy and sharp if you spray it in very distinct places like I once did ( I sprayed it in the zipper of my pants because it was "D-Day" and it smelled something close to YSL's Opium!). I wear it day and night and people give me compliments head and back. It has a way of scenting the air about you and becoming part of your chemistry as well.
Men of all ages LOVE this. Seriously. In my physics class my teacher once said I was "a rose surrounded by thorns, and if he were only 50 years younger he would have loved to pluck me out of the garden I came out of!". He said the fragrance smelled quite becoming to him. One guy friend once commented how this made me smell like a girl and not like candy. He said it made his mouth water (yes, I was ridiculously nervous when he said this). And the owner of the local Chinese store practically recognizes me because of this fragrance. This fragrance has brought me so many surprising moments in the 3 months I've had it. It is the first fragrance that I could say was mine and I truly adore it. Hopefully you will love it and it will adore you as well.

After trying a lot of Vitamin C products, I have settled on this one. it dissolves quickly. It does not upset my stomach. It seems to be working...though it's hard to tell if lot of these things work until you stop taking them, and start to feel worse! :D

I really like this Vitamin C supplement, especially with the addition of the Bioflavoids. However, I do take it with food even though it buffered.
Odd Dosage, Good Product Though

Not much for 750 mgs. I prefer 1000 mg tabs. But, we all have our needs are preferences. Yeah to the bioflavonoids. Better absorption.

If you're a typical SharePoint developer these days, you might be sporting a turbo-charged 16GB laptop and running your SharePoint development environment in one or more virtual machines. SharePoint 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2 (or the Denali RC!) and Visual Studio 2010 run like a well-oiled machine if you have fast enough hardware under the hood.
But you might be wondering if you're getting the most out of all that horsepower. Let's face it, as a hardcore SharePoint dev, you spend countless hours working in this VM. It's worth investing the time to streamline your experience and make it a pleasure to build your best solutions. This article will show you how to soup up your VM and get your development process firing on all cylinders.
If you've just installed your first dev environment, then a lot of these tips will apply. If you've downloaded the Demo2010a VM set, then some of them have already been done for you. Even if you're a seasoned SharePoint developer, I hope at least one or two of them will shave a few seconds here and there. I'd also like to invite your comments and ideas so I can get some mileage from your experiences as well!
Seek the Open Road
Even though it's technically possible to develop SharePoint solutions in Windows 7, most of us still take the Windows Server 2008 R2 route so we can get all the services to work. But Windows Server isn't intended as a client OS, it's designed to run reliably and securely in a data center.
There are plenty of pop-ups and other security roadblocks to slow you down, but you can steer clear of them with the right policies. (NOTE: I'm very careful with my firewall settings and I don't browse the Internet at all from my development box, so I don't mind running with shields "down." Proceed at your own risk!)
Map Out Your Network
If you have to reconfigure or fiddle with your network every time you use your VM on a new network, you really need to tune up your network configuration. This is often a problem, especially if you have more than one VM. The core issue is this: servers, such as your Domain Controller and SharePoint server, really like to have fixed IP addresses, yet your laptop thrives on dynamic IP addresses assigned by the DHCP server of whatever network you happen to be on.
The solution is simple: set up two networks, one with fixed IP addresses and one with dynamic. Think of the fixed IP network as a local road, only accessible to your VM's and host computer, and the dynamic IP network as the onramp to the rest of the world.
Use your virtualization tool to set up internal (static IP) and external (dynamic IP) virtual networks, as shown in the table below, and add both network adapters to each VM.
Virtualization Stack
Fixed IP Network
Dynamic IP Network
External (or bridge an internal network to a wireless adapter for wifi support)
Virtual Box
Host Only
To configure the static IP network, edit the settings on the internal adapters on each VM and your host, and give each one a unique static IP address in the same subnetwork. To do this, open the Network and Sharing Center and click "Change Adapter Settings" on the left; right-click on the adapter and select "Properties". Highlight the TCP/IP v4 item and click "Properties" again. Remember to use the same subnet mask for each one, and to use a reserved IP address range. If that last sentence made no sense, just pick one of the address ranges below that is not in use on any of the networks you use regularly, and give each computer a unique number in that range. I purposely chose ranges that aren't typically defaults for home routers to avoid conflicts.
For each adapter, set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, and enter the domain controller's IP address as the DNS address (even on the domain controller itself). As servers join the domain, the DC will automatically enter them in DNS so you can address them by name.
If you regularly use VM's with different IP address ranges, you can avoid having to change the host's static IP address by simply assigning multiple IP addresses to the host's adapter. To do this, click "Advanced" in the TCP/IP v4 property page; this will allow you to add and remove many IP addresses. Then go to the "DNS" tab on the same dialog box and enter all the domain controller IP addresses as alternate DNS servers.
The second network is easier to set up. For your onramp to your LAN and ultimately the Internet, choose a virtual network type as shown in the table for a dynamic IP network, and leave the other settings alone. This will allow you to call out from your VM, as well as to make incoming connections from other computers for remote desktop access or file transfers. Just be sure to turn on the firewall on all the VM's if you're going to use this on a shared or public network.
If you have trouble connecting by name among the servers, or from the host to the servers, check the network provider order on the client side. This setting can make all the difference, but it's hidden. From the Network and Sharing Center, click "Change adapter settings". Then press the Alt key. A new menu will be revealed; choose the "Advanced Settings" option on the "Advanced" menu. (Do you get the feeling they don't want you messing with this?) Now click the "priority order" tab. There you will see all your network providers; use the arrows to set their priority. Making the static IP network a higher priority than the dynamic will ensure a reliable connection.
Torque Up the Experience
A SharePoint development machine is both a client and a server, and to get the most out of the client part you really need to turn on the Desktop Experience. This is a Windows feature that can be enabled in the Server Manager. Not only does it turn on the Windows 7 UI, it also enables the WebDAV protocol, which is used inSharePoint's explorer view and for some open and save dialog boxes.
Once this is enabled, start the Themes service to get the full experience.
At this point, if your (virtual) hardware is up to it, Aero should work. If not, there's still hope through Remote Desktop. To enable Aero through remote desktop, first log into the server. Select "Run" on the start menu and enter "tsconfig.msc". You should see an RDP-Tcp connection in the middle of the screen; right-click on it and select "Properties." On the "Client Settings" menu, set the "Maximum Color Depth" to 32-bits, then click "Apply", and then un-check the "Limit Maximum Color Depth" checkbox. To work, the "Maximum Color Depth" should be grayed out and showing 32-bits (go figure!) Click "OK".
Next, still on the server, go back to the group policy editor (gpedit.msc). Drill down to Computer Configuration/Administrative Tools/Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session Host/Remote Session Environment. Disable "Limit maximum color depth" and enable "Allow desktop composition for remote desktop".
Finally, on the remote desktop client, click "Options" on the splash screen and go to the "Experience" tab. All the checkboxes, and in particular the "Desktop composition" option, must be selected for Aero to work. Why not a little chrome?Upgrade the Tool Box
Having access to the best tools can really accelerate your development process. Here are my favorites which I always install on a development machine.
Shift Into OverdriveThere are two things that affect VM performance more than anything else: memory and disk speed. If you can give 6-8GB to each SharePoint VM, you should be in good shape. But a slow drive will still make your setup as pokey as an old jalopy.
One thing you can do to improve VM performance on any rotating drive is to switch from dynamic to static virtual disks. Once you defrag the physical drive, the virtual drive file will stay in one contiguous block. After that, you can just defrag the virtual drive (from inside the VM) and forget having to compact it and defragthe physical drive.
Of course solid state drives are the best by far, but if they give you sticker shock then try a hybrid drive instead. These drives cost only a little more than a conventional hard drive, but have an SSD cache that greatly reduces the time it takes to read small amounts of information scattered around the disk. Since they're optimized for short accesses, these hybrids are nothing special for large transfers, such as file copies and streaming videos, but they provide a huge boost when booting up a VM. I've had good luck with a Seagate Momentus XT; I have use a USB 3.0 enclosure with the 500GB version (street price $130), which sports a 4GB SSD. I'd love to upgrade to the shiny new 750GB version (available for about $175), which doubles the SSD to 8GB. Even on the smaller drive, I definitely notice my VMs getting faster after each boot, as the drive caches the most frequently accessed data.
(NOTE: The Momentus XT is sold as a bare drive, so plan to buy an enclosure for it if you're not replacing your internal drive. Enclosures with your choice of USB 3.0, ESATA, or Firewire are easy to install with just a screwdriver.)
Bonus Tip: Keep Left
As a bonus, here's a small and handy tip. It's so simple I'm not sure if it counts!
Here it is: move the Windows task bar from the bottom of the screen to the left. Yes, that's all. To do this, just right-click the task bar and select "Properties".
Perhaps you're scratching your head at this one. Isn't that just a matter of preference you ask? No, it's more than a just a chrome option.
I find that when working on VM's I often have a machine running in a window. Sometimes when I'm also working remotely, I have two machines nested. What a pain it is if the window sizes don't align, and you have to scroll around the inner desktop! It's extra painful because the start menu and task bar are way down the bottom of the screen, yet application menus and tool bars tend to be near the top, causing no end of scrolling. By putting the task bar on the left (or the top), it's already in view in this situation, and that can save a whole lot of scrolling.
Share a Ride
If you have a tip or shortcut I've missed, I'd appreciate it if you dropped it in the comments. It would be great to see what you've run into.
Happy travels and thanks for reading!

Fisker blames Mitt Romney for government loan lockdown: Motoramic Dash
Welcome to the Motoramic Dash, a quick read of the top stories around the automotive world this morning.
The neverending saga of the Fisker Karma took a turn for the political after Fisker's chairman told a Delaware newspaper that the company would have been able to get more of the $529 million loan promised by the federal government if Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney hadn't criticized such loans. That response came a day after Romney's spokesman called the loans to Fisker a "failed investment."
I've written at length about Fisker's struggles, including the buggy launch of the Karma plug-in hybrid and new CEO's Tom LaSorda's all-out push to cut costs and build its proposed next model, the Atlantic -- including laying off most of the remaining workers at its proposed new plant in Delaware this week. Given that Fisker missed the sales targets set out by the U.S. Department of Energy for its loan, the money would be in doubt no matter the political climate.
But Ray Lane, the former Oracle executive who chairs Fisker's board, took exception after a Romney spokesman said the Fisker loan was an example like the bankrupt solar panel maker Solyndra of a failed investment by President Barack Obama. In an email to The News Journal in Wilmington, Del., Lane said Romney's political attacks had kept the Energy Department from striking a new deal with Fisker: "Irony is Romney doesn't understand he's the problem and he's lumping a company that did $100m in q1 with a company that's bankrupt."
Lane vowed to "call Mitt" and set things straight. I don't think that's going to happen until a certain Wednesday morning in November.

Baghdad: A Historical Overview
By Saulat Pervez
The rich history of Baghdad
When we think of Baghdad today, we imagine a war-torn, ravaged city. However, Baghdad has a rich history which the present should not obscure. From the eighth century to the thirteenth century, Baghdad was a metropolis known for intellectual and material prosperity, showcasing numerous libraries, research institutions, thriving universities, magnificent homes, and flourishing businesses.
1 Comment
It sound a great book! Baghdad has the richest and versatile history in the whole world that nobody can deny ! May Allah send his blessing and peace on the whole country and the area as well. It is like the Phoneix that turns int dust then comes out of that dust in its fully strong and beautiful shape , that is the way it is usually with this cosmopolitian and important city that no empire thought of not invading it and making it part of its realm.

text: You must use a circular polarizer with the F-1, F-1n, New F-1, FT, FTb, and any Canon that has the partial area metering block in the viewfinder screen. That block has a beam splitter mirror that diverts x-amount of light to the meter cell which is in the body. The beam splitter mirror will go black when a linear polarizer is used because the mirror acts as a phase polarizer. This was a very common problem with the early autofocus systems that used 1/2 mirrors (beam-splitters). This problem is avoided with a circular polarizer.

2010 Volvo 122 • 6 cylinder AWD Automatic • 23 miles
I am in negotiations to purchase a brand new 2010 vehicle from the dealer lot. I researched the VIN and found that the sparkplugs were replaced at 18 miles. The car now has 23 miles. I am wondering if this is a red flag? Should I walk away from the deal? Should I ask them to extend the warranty period? The current warranty is for 5 yrs 60k miles? What could spark plug problems indicate? Any advise you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
February 28, 2011.
February 28, 2011.
They will not extend the warranty unless you buy an extended warranty? Also becarefull when buying the extended warranty. The warranty starts as soon as you buy the car so if you got a 5 year warranty it is going to run with the factory warranty. So when the factory warranty expires so will the extended. Now what model were you trying to buy and at what dealership? Did they tell you why they replaced the plugs? They should give you an answer as to why it was done?But let me know on the model and engine size please.
Thanks so much for the reply. It is a Volvo xc60 T6 with a 3.0 L Turbo Charged 6 cylinder w/DOHC. When I asked them why the spark plugs needed to be changed--they were not sure and was guessing that it could have been for a recall. They went on to say that whatever the problem was, it was addressed. If its ok, I would rather not say the dealership as this is an open forum.

Solve the problems of those plugins acting like CSS bullies all over your style.css. Loading your stylesheet last means you WIN.
After trying unsuccessfully to get a style.css loaded from a woocommerce folder in my Genesis child theme as the Genesis Connect for WooCommerce plugin suggested, my frustration has been ended. This plugin does just what I need and works great!
This plugin is great for working with e-commerce (iThemes Exchange and all the add-ons. It really does eliminate the need for nearly all !important declarations. Thanks, Carrie!
This is a great plugin - it does exactly what it says.
Because sometimes you need Style Trump to bend the styling to your will.
Needed to override a certain plugin's styling with specific margins, etc. of my own and just could not do it because everything in the plugin was oh so !important.
Installed Genesis Style Trump and now I have victory over the wretched plugin and the site looks just the way I want.
It's great not to have to wrestle a plugin's CSS for control over the look of my site. Thanks!
This it basically, it does exactly what I need it to and I use it on pretty much every site as it saves me allot of time trying to override plugin CSS - Thanks!
This plugin makes my heart sing, my tummy warm and my brain faster. That's like a plugin trifecta, install it, restore order and get your groove back Stella.

Spotlight Feature: Finding a TV Job - Part I: The State of TV
About a week ago, I had the opportunity to talk with a blog reader who wanted to be find a job in TV. This individual worked in radio, like myself, and thought making the transition to television would be interesting - inspired, in part, by what he hears from reading our Director's Cut Blog.
I also find myself talking to students from Kent State University and Cleveland State University who are in the building as part of their studies to learn from us.
I've wanted to do an article on my thoughts about this and think the time is appropriate, with a little thought.
While I don't discourage anyone from getting into this business, I do offer some caution to those who wish to work in this field. Television is evolving and becoming more and more difficult to survive in.
I first saw this trend about 12 years ago when the FCC issued the Telecommunications Act of 1996. This single act was the death sentence for radio. Shortly afterwards, major corporations like Clear Channel, AMFM, Radio One, Educational Foundation and plenty more began to gobble up every station they could find - and thus the Clear Channel monster was born. Fortunately, Clear Channel might not survive.
Television on the other hand didn't find itself in that position back then. I think the huge cost of stations prohibited massive consolidation. Today, there are some large broadcast companies, like Gannett (WKYC's parent company) but these companies are limited to ownership caps that this and other TV companies have been fighting for years. Recently, some legislation allowed cross ownership between TV and newspapers in some markets under the right conditions.
We haven't seen much change so far other than the Tribune deal with Sam Zell.
The bigger threat for TV has been the internet. You have heard me say time and time again that TV must evolve to compete with the web and co-exist with it. While broadcast TV won't go away anytime soon, the dynamics are changing in today's newsrooms.
Basically, think WEB first. It's where the growth potential is - and where the big advertising will wind up. Advertisers are no longer spending freely on broadcast TV like that have in the past.
What does this mean for people wishing to get into the business now? You must be flexible, versatile and web knowledgeable. Journalism programs like Kent State's drive home the point that producers will write for multi-platforms, each requiring a specific set of skills and talents. Directors will switch, direct and work on the web...as well others in each department.
And don't expect to get rich working in the business anymore. The high paying jobs are becoming as extinct as high paying jobs in manufacturing. They aren't being outsourced - they are being given to younger people entering the business at much lower rates of pay than their predecessors. Only talent continue to make the dream money. And even that dynamic is changing as stations tighten their money belts during tough economic times, like now.
The business is not all doom and gloom. It certainly has its perks...great people to work with, new technology to tackle, and a media that is evolving into something unknown really. No one quite knows where broadcast TV will be in 5 or 10 years.
So think carefully about the pros and cons of committing yourself to a career in TV.
In Part II of my feature, I'll share some thoughts about how to get noticed by the managers who do the hiring.
Disclaimer: The thoughts in this article are mine and do not necessarily reflect those of WKYC or Gannett.

I don't understand how he made the dead banker list.
According to his resume on the Zero Hedge page he hadn't been in banking since 1990. The investigation had to do with the title company he ran.
Guess this is the place for a bad joke about getting nailed, but I'll not be the one to do it.
...the closing agent for all of HUD's foreclosures in the state of Colorado...
If it was supposed to look like suicide, then it would've done.

As far as I can understand streams are of a fixed size, whether they are memory or file streams. Is there a term for an open ended stream like a serial port or a network socket connection?
I'm working in Delphi XE. I've looked at classes that are decended from TStream. I would like to make an interface to a general class that would apply to a serial port, network socket, keyboard entry or simulated data. These would be data flow of no specifed length, containing packets of usable data.
I'm at a loss for the proper search term. Maybe the right term is a socket, but that seems to be a more specific network term.

MT. KISCO, NEW YORK -- The new "state of the art" facility at Mt. Kisco BMW has earned my total lack of respect. It just opened up on Kisco Ave in Mt. Kisco and has touted itself as being the "state of the art" service center for BMW. After having my 2004 325xi serviced at the station - 2 weeks later- I was told that it was all ready to go.
Three blocks away from the dealership my oil gauge lit up. I drove it into a PitStop just to see if it needed oil. [why it would need oil after a total workover is beyone me but hey one never knows] and sure enuf it needed 8 quarts. Not only that but the anti-freeze was totally devoid of anit-freeze and completely filled with pure H2O. The technicians couldn't even up it up without burning themselves.
As if that wasn't enuf they charged me an extra 3500 for things that it absolutely needed [after telling me that it needed a few things]. Beware!
STERLING, VIRGINIA -- My brand new Mini was towed to the Sterling dealership for service, left in a "tow only" parking space, and then their service person drove the car into the garage, ruined the clutch and the dealer refused to pay for the damage they caused to my clutch in the amount of $1000! Then the manager raised his voice while talking to me on the phone.
Not to mention, this dealership charges customers (huge scam) to join a club so they get special treatment, such as guaranteed loaner vehicles while your car is serviced. If you are paying for a luxury vehicle to begin with, why do you need to pay extra for the dealer's attention? The dealer in Ohio that sold me my car treats all customers like royalty and doesn't't scam them into joining a club for preferential treatment.
BMW/Mini of Sterling is scamming customers every chance they get!
ALHAMBRA, CALIFORNIA -- I have taken my car to New Century BMW dealership located in Alhambra,California several times to have the door seals replaced and each time I am told that they have not received them from the manufacturer. I am tired of being told that this is a factory defect and that everyone is having this problem and that I am on a waiting list for these parts.
To help keep me as a potential future customer, I would like the following:
I would like the door seals for my 323BMWci replaced. I have been waiting for them since August of 2001.
At the very least I would like a response from your company regarding this incident. Thank you for your time.
BMW -- I would like to write a complain to BMW company, the sales representative, service manager and mechanical engineer they were being so immature,reckless,careless,unable to help and feeble. Can someone please write a strong letter for me, so that I can get Compensation form the BMW.

I have to take the car back to the dealer and fix it. So they were waste my money and time, I would like to BMW to pay for it, if the letter won't work I might taking legal action to get my compensation from BMW.
FLORIDA -- I purchased a new 1200 r BMW motorcycle less than 1 year ago the exhaust header and the wheels are already rusting. this makes a bike look old. I am 58 and fastidious regarding the care of my motorcycle. when this happened you can imagine how depressed I got. I went to the local dealer and he said a rep needs to look at the bike before they can order the new parts. they said it would take at least 3 months before they would be able to fix the problem. I spent 14.,000 on the bike less than 1 year ago and cannot believe this happened. please see what can be done. let me know.
MICHIGAN -- LAST YEAR I a water pump leak and it was replaced under warranty. Now a hose came off the radiator and lost all the coolant while on the freeway. How can the hose, new and securely clamped come off? This is a 540 '97.Some cause such as overheating , failure of the thermostat must have caused the thermoplastic on the inlet of the radiator to "melt". Who else has encountered this problem?
