Several times a week I pass a church that has a sign board out front advertising confessions on Saturdays.
I confess that when I was a kid I went to a church that had confession booths, only I thought behind the dark wooden doors was either a broom closet or it was where they kept the devil.
Kids think crazy things, don't they?
When I was seven or so, I got to go behind the wooden doors and confess my sins, which mostly consisted of being mean to my sister and brothers and disobeying my parents.
Monterey Baptist
It was a privilege to recognize the veterans in our congregation today. As the military medley played, the men stood while their branch's song was being played.
Our deepest gratitude to Jim Bob Cook (Air Force), Joe Peters (Army), Gary Derringer (Army), Foster Smith (Army) and Melvin Miller (Army). We should never forget the sacrifice the men and women (past and present) have made so we could worship freely. May God bless you.
Deep within a forest, a little turtle began to climb a tree. After hours of effort, he reached the top, jumped into the air waving his front legs, and crashed to the ground.
After recovering, he slowly climbed the tree again, jumped, and fell to the ground.
The turtle tried time and again while a couple of birds sat on a branch and watched him.
Finally, the female bird turned to her mate and said: "Dear, don't you think it's time we tell him he's adopted?"
Beech Grove Baptist
The message was taken from Luke 9:49-56, "Impressions From Jesus."
Cedar Hill Baptist Church
We had a wonderful day worshipping the Lord. Bro. Bill's message was from Luke 1:26-37 and Matthew 1:18-25 on the challenges of faith.
We invite you to come worship with us each Sunday at 9:45 a.m. for small group and 11 a.m. for joint worship.
If you've been in church for any length of time, depending on the church you may have heard sermons about Bible heroes: strong and mighty Samson, brave David the shepherd boy who fought the giant Goliath and killed him with his slingshot and a stone.
There's Daniel in the lion's den, the three Hebrew teens in the fiery furnace, Moses who led the Israelites out of Egypt.
N-H Columnist
Perhaps you've heard the story about the small-town prosecutor who called an elderly grandmother as his first witness in a trial. She put her hand on a Bible and was prompted to swear that she would tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
An old man on a moped pulls up next to a young fellow in a Corvette at a stoplight.
"What kind of car you got there?" the old guy asks, his thumbs tucked into his suspenders.
"It's a 2014 Corvette, special made," the young fellow boasted. "It cost me nearly $80,000."
The old fellow leaned in and took a look. He saw the stick shift on the floor, the stylish steering wheel, and the speedometer that registered over 200 mph.
"Mighty nice," the old man said.
One of the funniest stories I've heard in a while is about the especially handsome man who decided it was his God-given responsibility to marry an extraordinarily beautiful woman so they could have the best looking children ever.
He happened onto a farmer who had three breathtakingly gorgeous daughters. So he explained to the farmer his mission, and asked permission to marry one of his daughters. The farmer agreed, telling him to look them over and take his pick.
I was amused the other day to read some suggested voicemails greetings that truly are a sign of the times in which we live.
Here's one that gave a chuckle:
"Hello, I'm not here right now. In fact, I'm out getting a new parakeet. If you leave a message after the beep, I'll be sure to get back to you. Oh, and by the way, a word of advice; never try to clean a parakeet cage with a vacuum cleaner."
And this one:

Four things the SNP hope can turn around the independence campaign
Nationalists are losing the independence race. That's not a value judgment but a clear-eyed reading of the polls.
The gap between No and Yes is 14 per cent, according to the latest poll of polls. At best individual surveys have put Yes behind by a little under 10 points; at worst the chasm is wider than 20. Put simply, something big needs to change for them to win.
The question is, what? And when? Recent countdown signposts have come and gone without any visible tightening. 100 days to go; three months to go; the Bannockburn anniversary; 11 weeks to go. Even Prof John Curtice, master reader of the polls, has started talking about the need for a "game-changer".
Yet amid the Yes camp there seems little sense of defeatism. In fact, talk to SNP MSPs, Salmond's SpAds or Yes strategists and they predict inevitable victory with apparent straight faces.
Why? How can they believe fortunes will suddenly changed? Below are four key things – moments, underlying truths, campaign realities – that Nationalists believe will trigger a turnaround. Unionists say they're straws being clutched at; the Yes camp sees real significance. Judge for yourself.
1) TV Debates
Aside from voting day, live TV debates are the most significant dates left in the campaign calendar. With maximum public attention and media hype, they mark that rare moment where much of the country will actually be listening to what politicians say.
The wrangling still ongoing over dates and line-up reveals how serious both sides view the debates. They are an unknown. As such, Better Together, firm race leaders, wants them to happen as early as possible. Nationalists are pushing for the opposite, hoping to maximise any "Salmond bounce" that may follow.
We are edging towards consensus here. At least two debates should take place between Salmond and Alistair Darling (Better Together leader) in early August on BBC and STV. A third with Sky is in the balance.
Could the debates be a game-changer? There are precedents. 2010s "Cleggmania" may not ultimately have altered the final vote, but it radically changed the campaign narrative. A year later, Salmond's debate performance is credited with fuelling his turnaround in the Scottish election, converting a double-digit poll deficit into a whopping majority in a matter of weeks.
Nationalists are hoping – opponents would say praying – the trick can be repeated this year.
2) Voters are yet to switch on
Think back to the last time you watched a full episode of Newsnight. Then imagine it lasted two years. That's pretty much what the Scottish electorate has had to endure.
Yes and No camps have been slogging it out over the same issues for years, with non-constitutional issues increasingly sidelined. Catchphrases are issued with a frequency approaching muscle memory: "scaremongering"; "Tory cuts"; "Salmond's gamble". When even some political hacks quietly pray for September 19 to come asap, God knows how the voters feel.
To the public, so the argument goes, the independence debate remains background noise. Yes, they plan to vote in remarkable numbers – turnout could be as high as 80 per cent – but minds are yet to seriously focus. That will only happen in the short campaign.
You can see why this argument appeals to the Yes camp – it excuses their inability to convince half the population. But that doesn't mean they're wrong. A recent poll found almost two thirds of Scots have given up listening because of the contradictory claims being traded.
The bigger question is who gets the benefit when voters do tune in. Nationalists hope they'll be swept up by the "positivity" of a vote for change, but the opposite could just as well happen. Pen dangling over the ballot paper, not knowing what currency will be in your pocket after independence could prove just as motivating as the appeal of Yes.
3) Grassroots motivation
"My biggest fear is that they are seriously motivated and geed-up in a way we are not," one pro-UK figure confided when discussing the Yes camp a few weeks back.
It makes sense – motivating for change is far easier than getting people out for the status quo. It also belies another political truth – winning the polls is one battle; getting voters to the ballot box is quite another.
Who is winning the ground war? It's impossible to tell from the Holyrood bubble. But the Yes camp are insistent that their behind-the-scenes work – daily canvassing of social housing projects, informal pro-independence gatherings – will prove key on the day.
Recent history shows what happens if you get that wrong. An election-day meltdown of the Republican's Get Out The Vote software helped shove their party towards a larger-than-expected hammering against Obama in 2012.
Better Together are confident they're matching the Nationalists in this area, but it's no small challenge – the SNP has been waiting 80 years for this moment. Can Unionists match that energy at the grassroots? The Yes camp believes not.
4) Salmond's short campaign prowess
It is said that years back the SNP drew up a three-point list of aims: get into government; secure a referendum; win independence. It's success against that criteria – two down, one to go – has been put largely down to Salmond.
Divisive figure as he may be, strategists on both sides acknowledge he is a formidable political campaigner. While Nicola Sturgeon, his deputy, has fronted up the media campaign over the last six months, the First Minister is expected to take centre stage once parliament is suspended in late August.
We got a sense of what's to come back in February at the so-called "Tale of Two Cabinets", when both Cameron and Salmond took their ministers to Aberdeenshire. The Prime Minister visited an oil rig, did a couple of broadcast clips and kept voter interaction to a minimum. Salmond held a public Q&A, was widely available for interviews and mocked the PM for ducking the chance to debate.
Does the pro-UK campaign have a Scottish voice who can match Salmond on the campaign trail? The First Minister dispatched Iain Gray – Scottish Labour's leader for the 2011 election – with apparent ease during the campaign.
Unionists believe Darling, Gordon Brown, Jim Murphy and Johann Lamont provide more than enough fire power to do better this time round. They hope Salmond – SNP leader for 24 years and First Minister since 2007 – is increasingly seen as establishment by a weary public.
The telling moments will come in the final weeks, when Westminster's broadcasters have decamped north and every comment is scrutinised and replayed endlessly on 24-hour news. Personality will become the dominant feature of the campaign. Then, the Yes camp hopes, Salmond's advantage will tell.
Real game-changers that will trigger a surge or desperate straws being clutched by a floundering campaign? As ever, your thoughts welcome below.

Lake Townsend Yacht Club
continues to provide one of the best sailing programs in the state.
Not an exclusive or expensive sailing club! We are a very friendly, diverse group of people who enjoy cruising and racing small to medium size sailboats on Lake Townsend. You do not need to own a boat to join the club or to go sailing with us. On September 27, 1977 a few sailing enthusiasts met with city officials of the Parks and Recreation Department and Water and Sewer Department to present a proposal for formation of the Lake Townsend Yacht Club. The objective of the club is to promote sailing and to establish and maintain a club for athletic, recreational and social purposes. Through the continued cooperation and support of the city and club members, LTYC continues to be one of the most successful in the state. Races are held monthly throughout the year as well as a number of daysailing and cruising events. The premier racing event of the year is the Mayor's Cup Regatta which is held in June. There are usually forty or more boats entered by skippers from all over the state. Over the years, the club has sponsored a number of activities for nonmembers and the community in general - such as, sailing days for the Special Populations, open house and sailing seminars.
In the past two years, over 120 people have been through our sailing instruction course. The Frostbite series, Summer Series, Mayor's Cup Regatta and Interclub Regatta provide racing opportunities every month of the year. A core group of cruising members have enjoyed weekend and day cruising at Belews Lake, Jordan Lake, Kerr Lake and on North Carolina's coastal waters.
Lake Townsend is one of the best inland sailing venues in the state. The restrictions on power boats ensure that sailboats never contend with choppy water created by skiers and jet skis. With our pontoon signal boat and two Carolina skiffs, we can set race courses to match the wind conditions and make racing safe and enjoyable. With strong fleet of Flying Scots and a handicap class with a good mixture of other mono-hulls and multi-hulls we offer very competitive racing and a variety of learning experiences for new sailors.
Please consider joining us in the fun! The low price of membership makes this an incredible opportunity. Contact our
Membership Chairperson
if you need further information or have any questions about the club.
We hope to see you soon at Lake Townsend.

I went outside the apartment to take some pictures of the big moon tonight. Some creepy dude did a k-turn right in front of my camera during the exposure, it was awesome.
Love the lights
Thank you creepy dude, for making the picture fantastic. If only he knew!
Wow, this is really pretty. I like the big glow on all the lights, and the moon looks really pretty.
Think I'll use it as a wallpaper for a while.

Too bad you can't make this a print. I'd buy it.
I wanted to see the super moon so bad! But we had so many clouds, it was impossible to see anything. Not even t glow of it's outline. So depressing.
This is a bitching picture!
This is a bitching picture!
The supermoon. Yeah, I saw that. Too bad I didn't see enough of it.
quick question: how do you do those light like that?
wow. this is really awesome photos + nice timing +The size of the moon is so big i notice here,in india too but its brightness is stunning. i also take some pics also ..
Looks awesome!
Your photos are all so pretty. I wonder, is that natural or do you edit them at all?
Remembers me of Radiator Springs, the town out of Pixars "Cars"
Besides... very nice photo! <3
Besides... very nice photo! <3
The size of the moon isn't that noticeable here, but its brightness is stunning. I am visiting my parents who live just aside a forest, where light sources are scarce, and it's amazing to be able to see everything just like you could during the day.
That's awesome! It's been ages since I've been able to see more than a few stars at night, there's so much light pollution here. When I first went out to shoot some pictures, the moon was a little lower and a cool orange color, but the lack of a good zoom lens for this camera made it too hard to try and focus on one spot and I just zoomed out and took a street scene instead. My old camera had a badass zoom, but I can't find the battery charger for the life of me, dur.
me too
I don't think this picture would've been so interesting if it wasn't for the car. Very nice.
oh wow. this is really awesome

Picture: Sarah Jessica Parker, Marion Broderick and Tabitha Broderick - Sarah Jessica Parker takes her twin daughters Marion and Tabitha to school New York City NY...
Actress Sarah Jessica Parker has teamed up with fashion designer Kenneth Cole to create a bag for charity.
The Sex and the City star helped design the gold-dusted black snakeskin clutch, which will retail for $1,000 (£625) and benefit the American Foundation for Aids Research (amfAr).
One of the evening bags will be auctioned off at the organisation's gala at the Cipriani Wall Street in New York on Wednesday (06Feb13), and Parker was delighted to put her skills to the test for the cause.
She says, "It's been an amazing experience to collaborate with Kenneth Cole on the design of a handbag supporting amfAr. Kenneth has used his platform as a fashion designer for nearly 30 years to advocate for amfAr's mission to end Aids. I'm thrilled this bag will help raise money and awareness for the 30 million people living with Hiv and Aids."
Cole, Janet Jackson and Heidi Klum will be honoured during the ceremony for their ongoing work with the foundation.

As You Like It is a 2006 film adapted for the screen by Kenneth Branagh from the Shakespearean play of the same name, and directed by him. It stars Bryce Dallas Howard as Rosalind, David Oyelowo as Orlando De Boys, Romola Garai as Celia, Adrian Lester as Oliver De Boys, Alfred Molina as Touchstone, Kevin Kline as Jaques, Janet McTeer as Audrey, and Brian Blessed as Duke Frederick and his brother Duke Senior.
Branagh moved the play's setting from medieval France to a late 19th century European colony in Japan after the Meiji Restoration. Branagh filmed it at Shepperton Film Studios and at the never-before-filmed gardens of Wakehurst Place. The film is a production of The Shakespeare Film Company, financed by HBO Films. It is Kenneth Branagh's first Shakespearean film shot in a Super 35 format.
See the Plot for the original Play.
The Japanese reimagination[edit]
Although the film was not made in Japan, Branagh reimagines the play there during the late nineteenth century, where many English traders lived. Branagh portrays Duke Senior's court as a British outpost whose ruler admires Japanese culture: although most of the inhabitants wear European clothes, Duke Senior and his brother both wear Japanese clothes. Each British lady at the outpost covers her face modestly with a fan, and styles her hair reminiscently Japanese. When the banished characters travel to the Forest of Arden, both Japanese and western actors portray its inhabitants: Phoebe and William are Japanese, Corin and Audrey are European, while Silvius is a European who wears Japanese clothes. Black British actors play the de Boys brothers, Orlando and Oliver. When Orlando fights not merely a wrestler, it is indeed a sumo wrestler.
Branagh invented a prologue in which ninja warriors attack Duke Senior's family as it attends a performance of Kabuki theatre. Branagh's prologue defines exactly the moment that Duke Frederick usurps his brother's kingdom, a moment that Shakespeare himself did not.
The epilogue deliberately interrupts the closing credits with Rosalind's speech, as the camera pans to see Rosalind's actor, Bryce Dallas Howard, walking to her dressing trailer on the film's location.
Despite the cultural transposition, Shakespeare's language and the names of his characters remain the same. The film closely follows Shakespeare's plot. Some critics praised the setting. Others found it useless and irrelevant, since few of the characters are Japanese.[1][2]

The film was released theatrically in Italy on 1 September 2006 and released on Italian DVD on 23 January 2007. From there it went to theatres in Greece and Hungary.[3]
In the United States, HBO began airing the film on TV on the evening of 21 August 2007, but it has never had a true theatrical release in the US, only occasional one-time showings, and most of these US showings took place after the film's television premiere. It is the only one of Branagh's Shakespeare films to be released directly to television instead of to theatres in the U.S, though it was not the first to have a very limited theatrical release – Branagh's Love's Labour's Lost played in US theatres only in New York City, Los Angeles, and Boston.[4] In more recent years, Julie Taymor's 2010 film version of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" also had an extremely limited theatrical release in the U.S, and Ralph Fiennes's Coriolanus not only did not have a wide US release, but has not even appeared on cable as of February 2013, although it is available on DVD.
Branagh's As You Like It received a wide theatrical release in the UK on 21 September 2007, exactly one month after its US cable TV debut. It was also shown at a meeting of the Shakespeare Association of America earlier that year, before making its US TV debut.[3] More than two years after its release, in January 2009, the film began playing theatres in Mexico.[3]
The DVD was released in the US on 25 September 2007.
Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 36% of 14 surveyed critics gave it a positive review; the average rating is 4.7/10.[5] Another aggregator, Metacritic, rated it 75/100 based on 15 reviews.[6]
Philip French of The Observer called it less successful than Branagh's previous Shakespeare adaptations.[7] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian rated it 3/5 stars and wrote that it "deserves a look".[8] Anthony Quinn of The Independent rated it 1/5 stars and wrote, "[T]he only way you could make the spiralling absurdities of As You Like It work would be to transform it into a fast-paced comedy".[9] Many American critics called the film as a "comeback" for Branagh's Shakespeare adaptations, which had reached what many considered a low point with Love's Labour's Lost.[10][11] A negative US reviewer was film critic Stanley Kauffmann, who had admired Branagh's film versions of Henry V, Much Ado About Nothing, and Hamlet; he blasted the film, saying that he could barely get through it, and that, by giving it such an unusual setting, Branagh seemed to be trying to "apologize" to the viewing audience for the fact that As You Like It was a Shakespeare film.[12] Critic Virginia Heffernan, writing for The New York Times, was also negative, pointing out that film reduces the role of main character Rosalind: "Mr. Branagh has teased out every manly rivalry and preserved every hey-nonny-nonny of the kooks in the Forest of Arden, but slashed passages of the repartee that defines Rosalind."[13]
In January 2008 Kevin Kline received a SAG award (Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries) for his performance in this film, although strictly speaking, the film is not a made-for-television movie; made-for-TV films do not play theatrically in other countries before being released directly to TV in the US; they do so afterwards. This makes Kline the first actor to win a major US award for acting in one of Branagh's Shakespeare films, though some of his others have won critics' awards for the acting in them.
Likewise, Bryce Dallas Howard received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Made-for-TV Film or Miniseries, but did not win the award.

Moab's Best New Trails
Downhill from Alaska
10 / 10
While on Highway 191, look for Mile Marker 148 and take the dirt road heading east for the quickest access to the northern end of the Klondike Bluff area and the Homer trail. Although it measures just under a mile, the trail seems much longer than that when you're riding it uphill from the Dino-Flow trail, but ride it as a downhill from Alaska, and it's over all too quick.

The forecast average net cash farm income (NCFI) of $86,800 for farm businesses* in 2015, a decline of 24.7 percent from 2014 (see table), is in line with the forecast 27.7-percent decline in sector wide NCFI. NCFI represents the amount of cash available to service debt, pay family living expenses, and make investments. It is not a comprehensive measure of profitability, however, since it does not account for changes in farm inventory, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and depreciation.
After record production in 2014, production of program crops (crops eligible for farm commodity program payments) is expected to decline in response to lower prices in 2015. Farm businesses specializing in program crops are forecast to endure substantial declines—between 23.6 and 32.4 percent based on the crop—in average NCFI in 2015.
In contrast to program commodities, average NCFI for specialty crop farm businesses (fruits, vegetables, and nursery/greenhouse) are forecast to increase 5.1 percent in 2015, following a 16.6-percent increase in 2014. Specialty crop receipts are forecast to increase by about 1 percent in 2015, while total cash expenses are forecast to decline slightly.
Average NCFI forecasts for farm businesses specializing in livestock production are expected to decline in 2015, with hog and dairy farms showing the greatest reductions on average in 2015. Record high milk prices led to a 48-percent increase in average NCFI in 2014 for farm businesses specializing in dairy; however, their average NCFI is expected to decline significantly (70 percent) in 2015. Reduced dairy marketing contracts and receipts are forecast to pressure incomes, with only minimal relief from lower expenses. Large decreases in hog and crop receipts, coupled with inventory being rebuilt after the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PDV), led to a forecast decline in NCFI of 53 percent for hog farm businesses in 2015. Lower cash receipts and replenishment of layer hens in the face of Highly Pathogenic Asian Avian Influenza a (H5N1) drove the average NCFI forecast for poultry and egg farm businesses down almost 23 percent from 2014. Net cash farm income for beef cattle farms is expected to be down from 2014, with receipts forecast 5 percent lower in 2015. This decline, along with higher production costs driven by increased livestock purchases, results in an expected 13-percent decrease in the average NCFI for beef cattle farm businesses (cattle and calves) in 2015.
All regions (see ERS resource regions) are forecast to experience lower NCFI in 2015, although regional performance varies considerably due to the strong geographic concentration of certain production specialties.
*Farm businesses are defined as operations with gross cash farm income of over $350,000 (labeled "commercial") or smaller operations where farming is reported as the operator's primary occupation (labeled "intermediate"). Approximately 10 percent of U.S. farms are commercial and 31 percent are intermediate. "Residence farms" comprise the remaining 59 percent of operations. These are small farms operated by those whose primary occupation is something other than farming.

The Alpharma Pharmaceuticals sales group was unable to target the right prescribers or measure the impact of our marketing initiatives in a timely fashion. Alpharma Pharmaceuticals also wanted pharmaceutical data to be made available more quickly to our user community.
Alpharma Pharmaceuticals conducted an extensive review of pharmaceutical reporting applications and found that Biltmore Technologies solution exceeded all of our user requirements.

With the Biltmore-MicroStrategy solution, Alpharma Pharmaceuticals receives a monthly briefing book that includes a wide variety of valuable reports customized for each user across the organization. For example, an analyst accesses a report that lists prescribers and alerts decision makers of upward or downward prescribing patterns. The vice president of sales accesses executive dashboards that provide a pulse of the business with one click to follow new product introductions and sales trends of existing products. A district manager analyzes the success of a marketing campaign and learns who is performing above or below goal.
Field users receive personalized briefing books containing information about their specific geography. Internal users receive personalized briefing books and can also access and execute ad hoc queries via a robust reporting library.

Court picks holes in Tejpal's CCTV defence
Posted on Mar 14 2014 | IANS
Panaji, March 14 : Former Tehelka editor-in-chief Tarun Tejpal's defence - the CCTV footage outside the elevator - does not hold water, the Bombay High Court bench said here Friday while rejecting his bail plea in a sexual assault case.
Justice Utkarsh Bakre said at this stage the CCTV footage "does not help the applicant prove his innocence".
"Suffice it to say, that the CCTV footage prima facie does not help the applicant prove his innocence, since it did not cover the incident inside the lift," Bakre's order reads.
"Be that as it may, I am not inclined to go meticulously into the appreciation of evidence at this stage," he said.
Tejpal, who has been accused of raping a then junior employee in an elevator, has claimed in his earlier statements to the media that the CCTV footage alone was enough to prove his innocence.
Bakre said the CCTV footage could only come into play in later stages of trial when the victim is being cross-examined.
"In so far as the coverage of what happened outside, they give rise to different views and truth will come when there is cross-examination of the victim on her version vis-a-vis the CCTV footage," he said.

I'd like to know how to find a blu-ray dvd player that will stream Iphoto pics and Itunes playlists (using DLNA) from my Imac (OS X 10.6.8).
I needed a blu-ray dvd player and I thought it would be great to get it with wifi and the ability to stream from my Imac so I wouldn't have to get some external device like apple tv or roku. I got an LG BP620 which uses Nero MediaHome 4 Essentials, so I installed that application on my Mac and the DVD player does stream from it, but only partially. I get my Itunes by artist (but only for names A-C) - obviously I would like to not only get all the artists in my Itunes but really want to get the playlists. I just can't get (or don't know how) to get Nero to share the Itunes playlists (the Itunes Music Library.xml file is greyed out if I try to select it for sharing) or even how to get it to share all the artists. Furthermore, I can't get Nero to select the Iphoto library (also greyed out), so I don't know how to stream my photos to the DVD player either.
If anyone can tell me how to use this version of Nero (126.96.36.199) to get to my Itunes playlists and Iphoto pics, that would be great. Or maybe I just need to use something other than Nero (which I've tried reinstalling from the disk and LG website). I tried Plex but couldn't get the DVD player to work with it (later I read a professional review that said Plex doesn't work with this DVD player). Talking with LG was useless - they only say that Nero doesn't work with a Mac, despite the fact that the LG and Nero manuals both say they do. Since asking the manufacturers may not be productive, how do you go about finding a good (and under $200) blu-ray DVD player that will efficiently stream Itunes (09, version 8.1.2) and Iphoto (09, version 8.1.2) from my Mac?

I have the same issue. My iPhone 4S was working fine after upgrading to IOS 7. Apple Engineers must find a solution to this aberration. It's total unacceptable for a company like Apple set them self to lower standards and the foreign competitors take bigger chunks of their market and profit sharing. As a stockholder I do not appreciate wasting mine monies. Get off your back and laurel; And release IOS 7.0.4 NOW!!!!
Trent Baur Nov 11, 2013 7:45 PM
in response to Fede23
Wife's phone has same problem. To be fair, she's had iOS7 installed since it came out. The problem really started when we tried using bluetooth with our new car. Since then, her wifi won't work.
A visit to the Apple Store was completely unhelpful as they say the wifi chip fried and cannot be fixed. And after two years she apparently still owes $240 of the subsidy with Bell Canada. We still need to get more info.
But regardless, this whole thing is **** absurd and she's probably going to take a look at Android phones. And this will certainly give me pause before considering the iPad Air.
For a 54 page thread with 100K views, I'm really shocked that this issue hasn't found its way onto the mainstream Apple blogs.

Apple has already lost so many clients and they still act as if nothing has happened...
Honestly folks, do you really believe you will be left unharmed by all this??
I have been without wifi 2 months now and still no solution... Half-talk and qvasi solutions (50% off from a replacement phone) but I will not pay not even a dime more..
Most people I know, are too afraid to download the 7.0.1/2/3 updates...
So guess what.. No more Apple for many-many-many people (globally) after this fiasco!
Android phones have become equally good appliances at a far lesser price, with a 2 year guarantee and no funny business when it comes to donwloading upgrades..
What's the point on paying for a "ferrari", when the motor dies after 1 year?!?! Apple has become just a cheap, 2nd hand fake..

I have a similar issue, but doesn't seem to be exactly the same. My mom has an Ipad 5. Whenever she visits, she gets on my wifi. I have two wifi routers at my house, either worked fine for her. Since her upgrade to 7.0, she can't access my networks. "Unable to join the network "......"" is the message she gets. I have three Iphones on IOS7 that connect fine, and a MacBook Pro that is connected. Her Ipad won't connect. I have followed every guide(changing IPAD name, resetting, restarting,etc.) and every router configuration possible, without security/password, with, different ones, fully open, etc. Nothing. Can't connect at all. She sees the networks fine, just won't connect.
acesinica Nov 12, 2013 8:20 PM
in response to gvarnell
To gvarnell,
Does your two wifi routers have a long name with the same characters for the first part of the name?
Router1 SSID = "Johnnie_Appleseed's_wifi_2.4GHz"
Router2 SSID= "Johnnie_Appleseed's_wifi_5GHz"
if iOS7 for some reason only recognize the first part of the name, then the ipad would not be able to join either network reliably.
Remove the apostrophe from the router's SSID and the iPhone's name, if there is one. Shorten the SSID name.
Do not turn enable 40MHz channel for 2.4GHz router.
Turn off one router first.
Do enable WMM.
Security for 802.11n is now required to be WPA2-PSK AES (not TKIP anymore)
Is the iPad5's IP address fixed on the router? If yes, remove it, try joining again.
Or, try setting fixed IP address for the ipad 5 on the router, and set same IP on the ipad5.
Power cycle the router to flush out the dhcp table.
You said ipad 5? Are you refering to the newly released iPad Air?
Upgrade to ios7? It should come with ios7.
I find this part a possible cause of wifi logon trouble:
"A DHCP client can also request its last-known IP address (in the example below, 192.168.1.100). If the client remains connected to a network for which this IP is valid, the server may grant the request. Otherwise, it depends whether the server is set up as authoritative or not. An authoritative server will deny the request, making the client ask for a new IP address immediately. A non-authoritative server simply ignores the request, leading to an implementation-dependent timeout for the client to give up on the request and ask for a new IP address."
If the ipad retained its last IP address over the upgrade to ios7, it'll request it's last known IP address. Now if the router uses the non-authoritative server method of ignoring the request, but let's suppose Apple's implementation has a very long timeout, the we could see an idevice not being able to join the wifi network.
Best regards.

LOL! How cute.
"This update requires a Wi-Fi network connection to download."
While I'm sure we can download through iTunes - I found this to be just a tad bit ironic. I'll post back once I am able to get back to my workstation to install and test.

That's all well and good. I don't live anywhere near an Apple store, however. But the major problem here is that Apple is not acknowledging a problem and providing ways to solve it for an expensive device. If they are confronted with the problem, like meeting a customer face-to-face at one of their stores, then they respond with a fix. Otherwise, THEIR update is the CUSTOMER'S problem. Truly poor business.
I like this guy's take:

Yeah - that's been there for a while now. The reset network settings did not work to un-grey my wifi toggle. Restoring from iTunes did bring back the ability for me to toggle wi-fi however wi-fi did not function.

Phillies Nation TV 19: Hamels, Victorino, Grades
Posted by Pat Gallen, Tue, July 10, 2012 02:20 PM | Comments: 1
Phillies Nation TV, Posts
The latest edition of PN TV looks at the Cole Hamels trade possibilities and the likelihood he stays in Philadelphia. Some good quotes from a one-on-one with CSNPhilly that we discuss.
Also, is there even a market for Shane Victorino? His down year has to be scaring off trade suitors.
We also give grades for the bullpen, offense, and starting pitching as we've hit the midway point of the season. Natalie Egenolf is back with some comments and questions, too.

Could be a market for him. However, since he is having a down year the return will be low.

Insults hide how bad PM's policies are
- From: The Sunday Telegraph
- December 02, 2012
THE end of the parliamentary year should have brought a freshening sense of relief, but the toxicity of this minority government has left the electorate with a feeling of smouldering resentment.
While conservatives contemplate the growing list of questions that surround Prime Minister Julia Gillard's brief career as an industrial lawyer and her hasty departure from law firm Slater & Gordon, Labor and Green supporters have their own doubts about their government.
The independents, who more than any other group are responsible for this unhealthy state of affairs, are absorbed in their selfish search for relevance.
While Gillard and her henchmen seek to brand the Opposition as a negative force, the record shows it is the government that has been spewing the most vile comments, supporting the most misogynistic parliamentarians, spinning the most implausible claims.
Having invited a debate on her behaviour and character on Thursday, Gillard's own responses to Opposition leader Tony Abbott's reasoned and rational address amounted to no more than a farrago of irrational claims and name-calling invective of the sort that once might have been heard outside a slum saloon.
So much for the new parliamentary paradigm that independent Rob Oakeshott foresaw when he threw his garrulous support behind this rabble. So much for civility.
No one on the Opposition side of the House or Senate has matched former Speaker Peter Slipper for disgraceful commentary on female genitalia, though Gillard sprang to his defence and accused Abbott of misogyny in her now notorious and baseless extremist call to international feminists.
Similarly, no one from the Opposition side can hold a candle to Labor MP Steve Gibbons for utterly disgusting remarks about Abbott and his deputy Julie Bishop - grossly offensive Labor invective.
Just like Gillard's questionable behaviour as a lawyer and her choice of unsavoury companions, including her former lover, the discredited former union boss Bruce Wilson, and his sidekick and bagman Ralph Blewitt, it goes to character - the character of the ALP as a political body.
It is little over two years ago that Labor announced it had lost its way under Kevin Rudd's prime ministership and would appoint Gillard to lead it into the future. It should have escaped no one that Gillard has not been able to fix a single issue on which she claimed Rudd had failed the nation.
Further, she has introduced a raft of new policies which are as mad, bad and dangerous as those which were the basis for Rudd's political assassination.
In the most appallingly divisive fashion, Labor under Gillard has portrayed itself as the party of the battler yet it is the battlers who are being hurt most and will continue to be trampled on while policy is made by young and naive staffers with no real life experience beyond ordering soy lattes in twee inner-urban coffee shops.
Just two days ago, on Friday, the Gillard government killed off the best dental care scheme older Australians had ever enjoyed and it did so using class envy to sell its message.
On the pretext that the Howard government's successful Chronic Diseases Dental Scheme (CDDS) was treating millionaires and being rorted by doctors, Health Minister Tanya Plibersek chortled as she announced it would be replaced in two years time with two new schemes.
The schemes, for children and low-income adults, are not based on medical needs as the CDDS was, but on income.
The politics-of-envy line was trashed by a study reported in the latest Medical Journal of Australia that found that "Medicare funding is progressive in that a greater proportion of government subsidies for out-of-hospital Medicare items flow to lower income groups.
"Chronic care items, particularly dental plans which have been taken up to a greater degree by lower income groups, contribute to the progressivity of the overall scheme.
"While our study does not shed light on the merits of financing dental care through Medicare, the results do provide evidence the CDDS in the period after its introduction was primarily used by people from lower income households; as the lower-half of the income distribution received more than 2 1/2 times the amount of funding as the highest income group."
Those most crippled by Labor's new policy will be low-income earners and Aborigines since it will kill off the involvement of private dentists in public health care.
Sidelining private dentists, according to the report, "is classic Labor policy and places unbearable pressure on public dentistry". "Wages are simply inadequate to draw enough dentists across to the public sector to pick up this work.
"Aboriginal services employing private dentists will have to lay off staff because, in the absence of the CDDS, around 90 per cent of the revenue model is destroyed.
"Of the Aboriginal services in NSW, seven have dental services which receive NO state funding; they risk losing 100 per cent of their service, unless activity is cross-subsidised from other work, like underpaying doctors and using medicare income to fund dental work.
Aboriginal Australians are least likely to present to private dentists and to complete treatment, and most are reliant on referrals made by Aboriginal health services to collaborating dentists which offer culturally safe care and see large numbers of indigenous patients.
"Regional areas are most affected because of the shortage of dentists. CDDS was the only program making it economically viable for dentists to travel into regional areas."
Another Labor policy kills a perfectly sound program and leaves the nation's most vulnerable worse off.
Without reprising the list of Labor failures to which this disaster must now be added, it must be asked why the press gallery ignores a lousy government and demands accountability from the Opposition? Only in Canberra's comfortably cocooned universe is the Opposition held responsible for governmental failure.

Reviews of Oliver's Camp
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
High quality camp and excellent guiding
Very high quality accommodation - we gathered that the 'tents' had been upgraded earlier in the year. Now each one is a very elegant thatched structure with the canvas tent underneath it - but with wooden floors and doors it felt quite solid. En-suite loo but outdoor shower which looked like a bucket but was actually piped water and easy to use. Also had a very nice deck area at front of tent with two loungers. Animals were around - we had a hyena outside our tent the first evening and I mistakenly left some socks hanging outside the first night - they were appropriated and half buried in the ground by the morning but luckily not damaged and easily washed!
We were fortunate to have Mesenga as our guide - he spoke really good English and had eagle eyes - he could spot things miles away! We saw more elephants and zebras than we had ever seen before, but also leopard, a big pride of lions, and small things like bat-eared fox, fish eagles, genet and porcupine (on a night drive). We also did a short 2 hour walk with Alex which was excellent - it was really good to get up close to plants and see signs of the animals such as dik-dik scent marks on the grasses.
The food was very good - barbecue on the first night was excellent.
One thing to note - if you want to do the night drive you have to pay extra for it ($60 per person). We decided to do it because there was an opportunity to use night vision binoculars which we haven't done before. However, in the event we found them hard to use and reverted to the standard spotlight method, so that was a bit disappointing although we did enjoy the drive. Actually, in the event, we didn't pay for the drive as there was a slight problem the next morning and we didn't get a wake up tea tray or proper breakfast so Barbara the manager waived the fee.
As others have said, the only slight disadvantage of the location is that you have to drive for about 20 mins before you actually see much in the way of animals...and if you go there do be aware of the tsetse flies - take Expert Africa's advice and take something that will repel them - we only had mosquito repellent with us which wasn't very effective against them and I wished I'd taken my Avon Skin So Soft!
Great experience!
The camp met and exceeded our expectations.
There is a lot to be said about the infrastructure of a permanent camp versus a mobile camp. The tent was more than we expected and the view was great.
The staff attended to your every need and the food was excellent.
Oliver's Camp review
A wonderful permanent camp with excellent service and location. Would recommend to anyone visiting Taranguire.
A night in the fly camp is a must as is a hike into the park.
Oliver's Camp review
Accommodation was very clean and comfortable. Managers helpful and friendly.
Great birdwatching at the main camp area.
Wonderful safari at Tarangire
We had an wonderful visit to Tarangire staying in Oliver's camp.
Our personal guide, Hari was very good, always polite and cheerful. He provided very good game viewing including 3 cheetahs, 3 leopards, a lion family on a kill, bat eared foxes and a gerenuk family, apart from the herds of elephant, buffaloe, zebra and wildebeest. We felt that Hari did his utmost to make our experience the best possible. We felt it was a shame he could not have dropped us off at Manyara airstrip on his way back to Arusha, which might have saved us some transfer time.
Olivers camp was very good, in a quiet section of the park which made us feel we were really in the African bush.The position of the camp being well down the park, meant that early morning viewings were undisturbed by crowds of other vehicles. We loved the tent which was spacious and comfortable, and Ken and Michelle were good hosts. The food was tasty and there was always a good campfire to help us enjoy pre-dinner drinks. We would certainly stay here again.
Expert Africa comments
As part of their feedback, these travellers noted that:
"The ratings choice on [our feedback] form did create difficulty in that there was nothing between Good and Excellent."
More elephants than impalas
Thanks to the Silale Swamp just north of Oliver's Camp, it is quite literally the case that we saw more elephants (hundreds at a time dotted across the swamp) than impalas in Tarangire - and there was no shortage of the latter. Oliver's is a well run camp generally and we were particularly impressed with the food - something with which camp managers Michele and Ken have clearly made a considerable effort.
During our 4 night stay we saw plenty of mammals - over 20 different species with buffalo, zebra and lion (in addition to elephant) in abundance - and the bird life is even more impressive (we identified nearly 100 different species). The southerly location of Oliver's in the park also means that there are few other vehicles despite the richness of the wildlife and the splendid scenery. Our guide, Jackson, looked after us extremely well from start to finish.
Oliver's also has the advantage of doing walks (Marcus is an excellent walking guide) and - unlike many camps in Tanzania - night drives, though neither is included in the basic cost (possibly because the majority of the guides do not work for the camp).
Oliver's Camp review
Great location near the swamp in the southern part of Tarangire. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, pleasant and helpful staff, good guides.
Really appreciated being able to do a walk as well as the game drives.
Oliver's Camp review
Over-all an excellent camp and experience.
The rooms were spectacular, food excellent and the location perfect.
The camp has an excellent selection of activities which aren't available in Ngorongoro and Serengeti including night drives and walking.
Really friendly welcoming camp
Well situated camp away from the main tourist trail . The northern part of the park was much busier with more day safaris from Arusha and lodges.
Due to the rains a lot of the game apparently had moved away from the Silale Swamp area and a lot of the tracks were badly rutted making driving difficult , but the viewing was still good . During the day stacks of elephants, lesser Kudu, leopard and fringe eared oryx were seen and on the night drive serval, genet , porcupine, and a pride of 23 lions. Rooms ( shower outstanding) and food were good and the staff excellent. In certain areas there were certainly a lot of tsetse , especially around the swamp area.
Oliver's Camp review
Lovely place to stay. Great food and people.Read more about the whole safari

Cell-Assisted Lipotransfer for Cosmetic Breast Augmentation: Supportive Use of Adipose-Derived Stem/Stromal Cells

Lipoinjection is a promising treatment but has some problems, such as unpredictability and a low rate of graft survival due to partial necrosis.
To overcome the problems with lipoinjection, the authors developed a novel strategy known as cell-assisted lipotransfer (CAL). In CAL, autologous adipose-derived stem (stromal) cells (ASCs) are used in combination with lipoinjection. A stromal vascular fraction (SVF) containing ASCs is freshly isolated from half of the aspirated fat and recombined with the other half. This process converts relatively ASC-poor aspirated fat to ASC-rich fat. This report presents the findings for 40 patients who underwent CAL for cosmetic breast augmentation.
Final breast volume showed augmentation by 100 to 200 ml after a mean fat amount of 270 ml was injected. Postoperative atrophy of injected fat was minimal and did not change substantially after 2 months. Cyst formation or microcalcification was detected in four patients. Almost all the patients were satisfied with the soft and natural-appearing augmentation.
The preliminary results suggest that CAL is effective and safe for soft tissue augmentation and superior to conventional lipoinjection. Additional study is necessary to evaluate the efficacy of this technique further.
