AirPort Time Capsule A1470 (Mini!) Teardown
Teardowns provide a look inside a device and should not be used as disassembly instructions.
This mini teardown is more of an addendum to the AirPort Extreme teardown. The Apple Time Capsule is more or less the same thing, save for a hard drive and a couple of extra doodads here and there.
If you're interested in all the nitty-gritty details, check out the Extreme teardown for an extreme look into the device.
Embed this guide
Choose a size and copy the code below to embed this guide as a small widget on your site / forum.
Step 1 — AirPort Time Capsule A1470 (Mini!) Teardown ¶
Today I went rogue. While the other tech writers were taking apart an as-yet-unnamed device (oh the secrecy!), I took apart the AirPort Time Capsule.
Going into it, we knew that there wouldn't be many changes from yesterday's AirPort Extreme. Hence the one-man team, and the fairly brief teardown.
Also, the designers hate it when I hijack their pretty graphics, so I made sure *not* to consult them on the main graphic. Take that, good taste!
This 2013 Time Capsule has the model number A1470, as evidenced by the "A1470" inscribed on the bottom cover. No funny business over here, we got the real deal.
Step 2 ¶
Alright, first thing's first: opening this enchilada. The procedure's the same, so I won't bore you like last time.
Now that that's out of the way, on to the good stuff: as soon as you open the Time Capsule, you notice subtle differences.
Instead of a metal cover/clamp, now there's a smaller metal cover/clamp that hugs a rubber cover like a... you get the idea. Underneath that rubber cover lies the hard drive.
Step 3 ¶
The drive is a standard, off-the-shelf Seagate Barracuda drive. We're cheapskates (hey, you never know when you might kill a $3,000 Retina MBP while trying to open it), so we opted for the 2TB option.
The standard SATA drive has a not-so-standard, super-thin connector that attaches it to the
The SATA cable's super-thin profile allows the hard drive to be plugged in, as well as allowing it to be clamped securely into the enclosure via the rubber cover (and metal clamp).
Step 4 ¶
This is where the magic happens. This port is missing from the AirPort Extreme of yesteryear, which allows the Time Capsule to be a Time Capsule, and the AirPort Extreme to be... well... not so extreme.
Folks asked us if it's feasible to make an Extreme into a Time Capsule. Theoretically, the answer is "Yes," but we're not sure why you'd go through the trouble — the Seagate Barracuda drive is essentially the price difference between the Time Capsule and the Extreme.
Step 5 ¶
Aside from that, the Time Capsule is pretty much identical to the Extreme. The same power supply, fan, and processing juice.
Basically nothing new to see here, move along.
Step 6 ¶
These are all the different parts that come in a Time Capsule, that you otherwise forfeit with the Extreme. So it's up to you, wise user, to figure out which Wi-Fi droid is right for you.
AirPort Time Capsule A1470 Repairability Score: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).
This is a no-brainer, since it's basically the same thing as the AirPort Extreme in terms of repairability.
Step 7 ¶
Quick update: the Time Capsule will easily accept a 4TB 3.5" hard drive in place of its lowly 2TB original drive. The Seagate was used to take this screenshot, but the HGST drive should work fine as well.

Hello all. I'm looking to get into biking after a number of bike-less years. I intend to ride primarily for exercise and pleasure. I currently have no ambitions for marathon-length rides, and no extremely rough off-roading. That said, I do expect to find myself in a variety of environments. Primarily road/shoulder riding, but also some bike paths, the occasional gravel or dirt road, and maybe even some trail riding. A lot of general commuting situations. Though it'll mostly be paved riding, I feel uneasy about limiting off-road options, because I really don't know where I want to head with the sport just yet.
I'm looking primarily at Treks, since that's what is easiest to come by in my (small) town and I have a little experience on them. I'm very interested in the 7300, because the hybrid might balance my riding needs. I've also heard great things about the FX series, particularly the 7.3 FX (as it's within my budget). I like the idea of a little extra performance and it may be fitting for my mostly road fitness/recreation riding.
Again, I'm a complete greenhorn here and any advice at all would be much appreciated, and help me get started out. I'm already excited to get riding a bit when the weather improves! Thanks in advance.

Gunpowder Lodge
A Dining@Large reader sends news of a new venue at old scenic spot, which reopened back in March. The tip actually came my way a few weeks ago, but somehow I forgot to post it. Here's the scoop. LV
The restaurant spot on Belair Road in Kingsville at the Gunpowder Falls has opened again under new ownership. For my lady friend and I this is the fourth or fifth resurrection on this spot that we have patronized.
There was Timber Creek Tavern under three owners (including the people who used to run the old Valu Food Markets who tried to turn it into a fancy restaurant with cloth tablecloths) and Hemingways that didn't even bother to change the old Timber Creek sign and only lasted a few weeks.
I've been told The Gunpowder Lodge is run by the people who operate Dead Freddies on Harford Road and in Bel Air. It has new furniture (including a new bar) and is really sun lit. Gone are the deer heads of Timber Creek vintage, but the fireplace remains for comfort on chilly evenings.
Their initial menu is heavy on burgers, pizza, and wraps with only a half dozen entrees. (Don't miss the mac and cheese as an appetizer or side!) They have a good list of brews on tap, too.
A real attraction now that the weather has warmed is the deck and the horseshoe pits down in the hollow "out back."
I sure hope they make it because it seems they're really trying.

Last week during FAT GOLD, I organized an alternate A/V stream called FAT Public Access on which I hosted a series of performances, talks, lectures, and informal chats broadcast live from Eyebeam's gallery space to the web. It's rare that FATLAB gets together in person, and I wanted to capture some of the energy & dialogue that pours forth when we do. I also wanted to use our show (and Eyebeam's equipment!) as a platform to present the work of artists, librarians, curators, musicians, researchers, and friends whose projects dovetail with the values and themes of FATLAB.
It was fun to play host whether facing an audience or just the reverb of the empty gallery space. While doing a public access show live meant I spent most of the week trapped at Eyebeam, it had the side effect of making lots of my friends come to me, so many many thanks to those that attended & performed. Hopefully this documentation is a window into the action for FAT members and international audience not in attendance.
Big thanks to Eyebeam staff, curator Lindsay Howard, and all the FATLAB homies.

Amara Romani was positive that she and her man could fuck before anyone came home. Well stepmom Diamond Foxx came home a little early. She walked in on these two horny birds fully cocked. She was upset at first, but once she noticed Codey's rock hard body she started to lighten up. She was going to join in, but wanted to see how good her stepdaughter could suck a cock first. It Diamond's was house and her rules, so Amara stuffed her boyfriend's cock down her throat and made her stepmom proud. They both got together and made sure that guy's soldier was hard and stood tall. Diamond ripped her pantyhose and rode that cock until she was nice and juicy. They took turns on their boy toy. Diamond made sure she got a nice helping of Amara's pussy as well. Codey blasted his load all over Arama. Her stepmom's feet got a in on the action as well.

With the Father gone on business for a couple of days, the step mommy could finally get to play with her step son. She was so excited after all the times she caught him spying on her, she could show him everything with out any chance of the husband finding out. She was ironing some stuff and looking irresistible when Xander came in to tell her about his day. When she found out about his interviews and new her chance of getting him naked was right then. She undressed him while saying that his clothes needed to be ironed. She started jerking him off and kissing him before he could get passed the initial shock of being naked in front of her. One thing lead to another and Xander was fucking her doggie style. That is when Abby came in because he totally forgot she was coming over. Step Mom Foxx took control and calmed her down. Abby was intrigued as much as she was upset. Xander got a 3 some most of us dream about. He fucked them both as they tongue teased each other. They bent over together and he took turns filling them up from behind. After some good old fucking they both got on their knees to finish him off the best way a girl can.

I help out Diamond Foxxx with her water exercises, and today while we were doing our final stretch my cock popped out of my shorts. I thought she was going to freak, but she actually asked me to stretch out her lower muscles. I immediately pounced on her huge tits, and sucking on big tits that tasted better with every lick. I fucked her all over her pool, and when she asked me to penetrate her tight ass, I could not resist... Enjoy...

While taking their aerobics class, the girls keep getting creeped out by the one guy in the class checking them out. The girls are disgusted by his remarks when they bend over to stretch. The instructor has finally had enough and lets him have it. All the girls start screaming and picking on him eventually tearing off his clothes. This loser gets a lesson in manners he will never forget as all the girls take what they want.

If you are new to hunting MILF's or even bored house wives, and there is an art festival in your downtown area, you must go. It is like picking peas out of the pod. The ladies will be there. All you have to do is pick one and start talking. Sometimes you might have to buy something. If you talk a good game Like Sean does, you will not need to buy nothing. Well maybe a cab ride for her to get back to where she came. Amy was all about the big hard glass shapes which made it real easy for us to get her back to the crib. Her tight ass was ready for some good old fashion pounding. She loved sucking cock which made her super horny and wet. We didn't have to do much with Amy. She left her house that day looking for some excitement. We just got to her before anyone else.

Region to experience impressive partial eclipse on Sunday, professor says
People swooned at the "super moon" that recently appeared just above the eastern horizon. As beautiful as it was, there will be an even more spectacular sight on Sunday when the sun slips into partial eclipse as it sinks in the west, out over the ocean.
When the eclipse reaches its peak at 6:40 p.m., about 83 percent of the sun's surface will be shrouded by the much smaller moon. The sun will look as though its suddenly been defaced by a dark smudge.
Some other parts of the country will witness an "annular eclipse," the name given to the sun when only a halo of sunlight is visible around the edges of the moon.
In San Diego, the show will begin at 5:27 p.m. when the moon begins to pass in front of the sun. The sky will grow progressively darker during the following 73 minutes. Then the sun will start to fall out of eclipse. The spectacle will end at 7:44 p.m., near sunset.
"The view from San Diego should be awe-inspiring as the moon slowly devours the sun, leaving in its wake only a shining crescent of light," said Allen Shafter, chairman of the astronomy department at San Diego State University.
We recently discussed the entire celestial event with Shafter. Here are excerpts from the interview:
Q: How unusual is an annular eclipse?
A: Total or annular solar eclipses occur at some location on Earth approximately every year and a half or so, but only on a limited region of the Earth's surface (the eclipse path), which is different for each eclipse. Thus, it is quite rare for a total or annular eclipse to occur at a given location. It happens perhaps only once in every 350-400 years, on average.
Partial solar eclipses are more common, with anywhere from two to five occurring somewhere on Earth in a given year.
Q: Why is the eclipse called annular?
A: The moon's orbit around the Earth is not perfectly circular. It is slightly elliptical (oval-shaped). If a solar eclipse happens when the moon is near its furthest distance from the Earth (called apogee) the apparent size of the moon will not be big enough to completely cover the sun's disk. Thus, a bright ring, or "halo," of uneclipsed light will be visible during mid-eclipse. Such eclipses are referred to as "annular" eclipses because an annulus of light remains visible.
Q: How much of the sun's surface will be in eclipse, as seen from San Diego?
A: The solar eclipse will only be partial as seen from San Diego. A maximum of 83 percent of the sun's visible disk will be eclipsed at approximately 6:40 p.m. PDT on May 20.
Q: Will an eclipse like this briefly lower the surface temperature on the areas of Earth that end up in the shade, so to speak?
A: In principle, the temperature at the location on Earth where the solar eclipse is happening will drop as the solar radiation is temporarily interrupted. During a total eclipse, it will get noticeably darker as well, and even some bright stars will appear in the sky. Given that the upcoming eclipse as seen from San Diego is partial and that it will be occurring late in the day, there should not be a significant change in the temperature.
Q: What are the safest ways for people to view the eclipse without damaging their eyes?
A: If you use a telescope you must also use a solar filter, otherwise the bright sunlight will harm your eyes as you watch just before (after) the sun goes into (out of) eclipse. A better alternative is to use special "eclipse glasses" that can be purchased for around $5. One can also view the eclipse indirectly by making a "pinhole" camera. Simply make a small hole in a sheet of paper using a pin. Allow the sunlight to pass through the pin hole and project onto another surface. The projected light represents an image of the sun, and will normally look like a uniformly bright circular disk. When the eclipse happens, you will see a circular "bite" get taken out of the sun's image as the moon slowly blocks the sun's light.
Q: Does the eclipse offer any research opportunities for the SDSU Department of Astronomy?
A: No. We don't have any solar astronomers on staff. Total solar eclipses are usually the most interesting scientifically, as they offer a chance to view the sun's outermost region called the corona.

Bruce Nauman is a master of disguise -- just not in the way you might expect. His work not only finds meaning in the hidden, but also in what is revealed and the tension between the two. Nauman's 1987 video installation, Clown Torture, is a perfect example of this. In the installation, four narrative sequences detail the absurd but unnerving actions of a clown who is played by Nauman himself. An assault of sound emanating from a darkened room is the viewer's first taste of the spectacle that lies beyond and once they enter, their psychological comfort zone is broached as well.
Inside, there are two pairs of stacked video monitors (some are upside down, others on their side), and two wall projections which disorient the viewer immediately. Each of the clowns in the videos are different: one is a jester, one is your average white face clown (just like Tim Curry, eeep!), another a French Baroque clown, and the last a play off the Emmett Kelly "Weary Willie" character. In one video, the viewer is confronted with a clown screaming the word "No!" over and over again, while jumping and kicking his feet -- lying on the ground. Another video shows a clown becoming increasingly frustrated and horrified as he recites the same joke repeatedly: "Pete and Repeat are sitting on a fence. Pete falls off. Who's left? Repeat." Two videos show clowns trying to balance goldfish bowls and buckets of water which fall on their heads as they attempt to open a door. In the last video, a clown sits on a toilet in a public bathroom stall -- the image resembles closed-circuit security camera footage.
Watching the videos for longer than a minute is extremely difficult and Nauman places the viewer in the uncomfortable position of questioning their own participation in the traumatic events that are simultaneously unfolding around them. One almost gets the feeling of bearing witness to an interrogation or experiment, which recalls horrifying social and political events and experiences like torture, isolation, confinement, insanity and surveillance. The costumes and makeup that the clowns wear parallels the artifice of the media and advertising worlds, which is a nice play off the video medium. It also renders the clowns as anonymous victims and oppressors concurrently, in a way similar to how someone like Jason Voorhees dons his iconic hockey mask to both instill terror and hide his deformed face (but that's a whole other topic).
Nauman's installation is at The Art Institute of Chicago, but is not always on display. Call ahead for exhibition information. You can check out a few clips of Clown Torture below, along with another clown surprise I thought you might enjoy. Try not to wet yourself.
Since these are videos posted by random people, I posted a few different views because not all the videos have every element of the installation in them.
I "acquired" these clown wall hangings from an abandoned barn in New Jersey. Yes, nothing says terrifying like rapey, cartoonish clown sculptures.

Mumbai, Nov 11 (TruthDive): The Gulab Gang leader Sampat Pal's journey on the show finally came to an end as she got evicted out of the Bigg Boss house.
Gulabi gang is a group of rural women in pink saris who fight social injustice in Uttar Pradesh. Gulabi Gang leader Sampat Pal`s main motive behind entering reality show 'Bigg Boss 6' was to spread the message of women empowerment inside the house. But she says she couldn`t do so because everyone`s "game".
This week three people were nominated for eviction, actor Vrajesh Hirjee, Gulab Gang leader Sampat Pal Devi and celebrity hairstylist Sapna Bhavnani.
Sampat was referred lovingly as 'Mataji' by all other inmates of the Bigg Boss 6 house. She has finished five weeks inside the house. The moment Salman Khan, the host of the show, declared her eviction, Sampat jumped with joy and said she was happy to go back home.
Pal, who has mentored huge groups of women to stand against injustice and hails from Bundelkhand, Madhya Pradesh says she never understood the meaning of "game" until she entered the 'Bigg Boss' house. Asked if it was difficult to adjust with high-profile celebrities, Pal says it did not affect her, but their cunning attitude took her by surprise.
Pal, who sported her trademark pink-coloured outfit throughout the show, even took active part in all the tasks and cooked for the housemates too. She was endearing in her own way. She was firm in making her point about anything and everything.
Slowly but steadily, Sampat opened up to her activist group of friends including Aseem and Sapna. She got along with every participant in the beginning of Bigg Boss 6, but as the show gained momentum, conflicts crept in and her relationship got affected with almost every member of the house.
The Gulabi gang leader has definitely made a mark in the Bigg Boss house and her absence will be felt amongst the housemates, when it comes to entertainment!

I'm sure most of you have been eagerly anticipating the next Uwe Boll film after In the Name of the King rocked your … Listen I'm not going to lie to you. No one liked that film and no one is looking forward to the next Boll film, but it has a trailer up anyways. Cinematical has the 'honor' of hosting this bad boy preview of Boll's Tunnel Rats.
The story actually seems pretty cool, as it follows a group of grunts in Vietnam who are tasked with clearing enemy VC tunnels. It could be a tense thriller with great action, but it probably won't be. The trailer is ok. The film looks worth watching on DVD to me, but I'm a war movie fan. It looks kind of low budget and like its not the greatest film in the world, but there's shooting and blood and unfortunately Boll's signature overuse of slow-motion.
Give the trailer a look-see below if you will and consider it. I'll definitely watch this flick at some point, though on some days I ritualistically cut myself too, so it might not be for everyone.

Minimum Wage (Blog)
Related Terms :
Published on February 11, 2013
The argument for an increase in the minimum wage ought not to rely on or focus on economics. The political, ethical, and social reasons for higher minimum wages make the case better, more clearly and more definitively.
Economists have accumulated a vast literature on the minimum wage. That literature is divided into two opposing schools. The first, comprised of paid spokespersons for business and their various allies in politics, media and the academy, strives to establish the following sort of argument. Raising minimum wages will reduce the number of jobs available to those earning the pre-rise minimum wage. This is because of the "law" of supply and demand which holds that demand for anything fall as its price rises. Raise the price of labor power, less will be demanded. In short, raising the minimum wage will push more workers out of jobs into unemployment. It is thus bad for just those in whose name the minimum wage is to be raised.
Such arguments provoked liberal, labor, and radical economists to seek to prove the contrary point. They questioned the theoretical assumptions about supply and dermand as it pertains to wage determination. They also offered empirical analyses to show countless cases where wages rose and no unemployment followed, etc.
Excluding unrepentant ideologues, most economists now acknowledge that the end product of the vast literature on both sides is a kind of stalemate. That is, it is not at all clear whether raising the minimum wage would help or hurt employment numbers. There is no one-to-one correlation, no clear-cut cause-and-effect relationship, between raising a wage, on the one hand, and increasing versus decreasing the number of workers employed at the raised wage, on the other.
Thus, to make arguments for raising the minimum wage on the grounds that it will necessarily have a determinate effect on employment is unsustainable and therefore ill advised. The simple truth resolves into these two points. (1) Raising the minimum wage always occurs together with countless other changes occurring in any economy. All those changes influence employment so that the effect of raising the minimum wage cannot be usefully isolated to be known. (2) Raising the minimum wage causes an immense number of other changes across an economy in the present and into the future...and all those changes will in turn exert their effects on employment. What the net effect will be is unknowable in advance. Making definitive claims will always invite and get refutations leading into endless debates that few will follow or be persuaded by. Not the way to go!
Given that we dont know how raising the minimum wage will play out on employment in advance, that the employment outcome will vary from case to case, the decision about raising the minimum wage ought to be made on other, non-economic grounds (political and ethical and social) where the positive effects of doing so can be more confidently described, predicted, and/or advocated.

Crime is a problem in many communities across Eastern Carolina, but officials in Jacksonville say an approach there seems to be paying off.
For the past 5 years the Jacksonville Police Department has worked to weed out crime in notoriously violent and drug ridden areas of the city.
They've hit the areas hard with more patrols and community policing.
And now they hope the residents will get involved in their own neighborhoods.
The Police Department believes the positive changes are a result of the Weed and Seed program.
It's a two-pronged approach to weed out the crime and criminals with extra policing and community watch and then seed in human services, and community programs.
The department is in the later stages of the grant, which is why the seeding is just starting.
Officials say now it's time to plant in community watches, cleanups and residential programs

DIY Bulkhead
DIY Bulkhead
Heres another simple idea for the budget minded aquarist. You can make your own bulkheads with 1 male Thread/Slip PVC adapter, 1 female Thread/Slip PVC adapter, and a rubber washer.
While these may no be practical for use on thick glass tank bottoms, they are perfect for use on acrylic pre-filter (external) overflows and sumps. These simple, inexpensive bulkheads can also be used for any number of unrelated projects. I used one to mount a Squirrel Shield on a PVC bird feeder pole. The one thing you need to remember is, in aquarium and other plumbing related applications, the rubber washer goes on the outside (the dry side).
nice idea.
where do you get that size and thick washer from does home depot have them?
I'm not sure on home depot, I would assume they do. I get mine From Lowes. They are kept in the plumbing section with all the other rubber washers.

UAlbany Students and Neighbors Participate in Pine Hills Clean-Up, April 7ALBANY, N.Y. (April 4, 2013) -- On Sunday, April 7, University at Albany students will join neighbors in the Pine Hills section of Albany for their annual spring clean-up. The event, sponsored by the UAlbany Student Association and the Pine Hills Neighborhood Association, illustrates the cooperation between residents and the many students who live in the popular neighborhood.
The clean-up will be held from noon to 3 p.m., rain or shine, and will begin at the entrance to Albany's Ridgefield Park on Partridge Street, just below Myrtle Avenue.
"It is amazing how this cleanup has grown into a time-honored tradition," said Kimberly Smith, director of Community Engagement and Outreach of the UAlbany Student Association. "It's extremely rewarding to see students come out and clean up the area so many of us know and love."

The annual Pine Hills Cleanup is an example of the numerous and diverse community service projects that UAlbany students participate everyday throughout the year. UAlbany was recently recognized in the 2013 U.S. President's Higher Education Honor Roll for meaningful service that achieved measurable results in the community during the 2011-12 academic year. More than 7,200 UAlbany students participated in community service through volunteer work, courses and internships.
"It is a wonderful opportunity for UAlbany students to work side-by-side with their neighbors to improve the quality of life in the local community," said Thomas Gebhardt, director of Personal Safety & Off-Campus Affairs at the University Police Department, and chairperson of the Committee on University & Community Relations.
For more information contact Kimberly Smith at (845) 625-3033 or the Pine Hills Neighborhood Association at (518) 275-5467.

Another day, another top seed tumbles at Australian Open 2014.
First Serena and then Maria followed by Novak, and today it was 2012 and 2013 champion Victoria Azarenka who found herself on the wrong side of the scoreline when she faced off with fifth seed Agnieszka Radwanska.
With Djokovic and Azarenka both falling in the quarterfinals, it's the first time both Australian Open defending champions have lost in the quarterfinals in the Open era.
Azarenka's exit means we are guaranteed a first-time women's winner with Dominika Cibulkova, Li Na, Eugenie Bouchard and Agnieszka Radwanska the remaining candidates.
Out of that group only one, Li, has won a major – at Roland Garros in 2011. Li has made it to the final here twice – in 2011 and 2013 – but she has always come off second-best.
Radwanska is a former Wimbledon finalist, but for Bouchard and Cibulkova, making it to the final would be a career-best achievement.
Radwanska was the cause of the latest upset, a 6-1 5-7 6-0 besting of Azarenka. The crafty Pole was at her best, showing off her court craft and vast repertoire of shots, many of which won't appear in any conventional coaching manual you might have at home.
And that's what makes her a joy to watch. While her game is based on a defense more solid than most brick walls, Radwanska is capable of pulling off rallies that leave not just her opponent but spectators scratching their heads thinking "just how did she do that?" Take a look at the highlights if you get a chance.
Azarenka, who walked into her post-match press conference wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan "Deal with it", said she hasn't noticed any "weird vibe around the tournament".
"I don't know. I don't think about that. I think about today's match, what I did, what I could do better.
"But other players, you know, different vibe, whatever, I don't really care about that."
As for that choice of T-shirt? Merely a random coincidence, or so she claimed: "It's just a shirt I had. I wore it before."
If 20th seed Cibulkova could print a slogan on her T-shirt after today's match, it would probably be "Still here". For the third match in a row, this time against 11th seed Simona Halep, the pint-sized Slovakian was considered the underdog.
"I walked on the court with the confident that I can do it again today," said Cibulkova.
"I was so focusing what I have to do, to do the right things. That was all what I wanted to do, and of course enjoy my tennis again."
Cibulkova's 6-3 6-0 victory was the quickest of today's quarterfinals. Next up for Domi is a semifinal with Radwanska.
In men's quarterfinal action, top seed Rafael Nadal avoided the "curse of the favourites" and won his way through to his fourth Australian Open semifinal with a 3-6 7-6(3) 7-6(7) 6-2 victory over talented Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov.
While Dimitrov, the 22nd seed and playing in his first quarterfinal at a Grand Slam may have lost, he won a lot of fans.
Dimitrov started the stronger of the pair – big forehands and bigger serves were the order of the day as he took it to Nadal early.
But Nadal isn't world No.1 for nothing. The Spaniard dug in and worked his way back into the match, clinching a second-set tiebreak off the back of some loose play from Dimitrov.
When Nadal closed out the third set in similar circumstances, he had Dimitrov's number. The Bulgarian wilted as Nadal powered home with all the momentum.
Nadal will play against his old foe Roger Federer in the semifinals.
Federer outclassed Andy Murray 6-3 6-4 6-7(6) 6-3 in a display the sixth seed will be happy with save for a blip in the third set. Serving for the match, Federer was denied by Murray, who saved two match points in the subsequent tiebreak, which he won.
It was the first set Federer has dropped in his five matches to date. Typically, the sixth seed composed himself and broke Murray late in the fourth set before duly serving it out.
With his back issues seemingly in the past, Federer has moved confidently through the tournament to this point. Against Murray he attacked masterfully, forced his way to the net whenever he could and defended brilliantly.
While some of the tournament's favourites may already be on a plane home, there's no doubt that the players who remain in the draw deserve to be here.

This food is sooooo delicious, my eyes were rolling out of my head after eating the pork ribs and then on a subsequent day, the brisket. Everything is so tender. Meat falling off the pork ribs, I confess I was full before I finished eating the first rib, but continued to eat two more of those heavenly porcine ribs. The taste was so delicious, i just overate.
Next, I'll be trying the three varieties of rings (sausages). Will report as I go along.
If you like bbq without sauce drowning it, you'll love this food!

How about a Viber for WindowsMobile 6.6 and Windows Phone 7.
And i mean for BOTH.
There are still so many WindowsMobile 6.x smartphones in use that i really don't understand that companies don't port to WinMob 6.x
Viber for Windows Phone is actually already under development. As it seems now, we will probably be supporting WP7 and above in the future, since prior versions have internal problems with handling VoIP.
But it's still very early to discuss this. We recommend you to follow our Facebook page for the latest updates and news.
I mean Windows Mobile 6.5.

A PC/Mac version is under development. Once we have news on that, we'll post it on our FB page
Under development
if i have 100 mb internet package a month is it enough to use viber or tango?
Viber uses about 0.3MB per minute of call, and only 1KB per text message, so the choice is yours
Note that if you are connected to WiFi when using Viber, it does not come off your data plan at all.
that would be awsome using viber on pc ^^
Yeah Poyraz, I tried to download it on my laptop and it didn't work after reading your coment then I realized that there is not version of viber on laptops
keep up the good work viber!
You can expect a lot more to come…
I noted in the Recent Comments that the claim is UAE has blocked Viber. I am currently in the UAE (have been for over 3 months) it's one of the main ways I communicate with ppl in the USA. I don't use the phone function but I use the text and it works perfect.
1. What cellular provider are you subscribed to?
2. Are you using it on 3G or WiFi?
DU WIFI & 3G are working perfectly but in Etisalat Viber is blocked in both 3G & WIFI you need to use any free VPN just to connect viber then it will work
Yes this confirms what we know.
The authorities in the UAE have decided to block Viber in the whole country, and unfortunately there is not much we can do to help
Try contacting the authorities and ask for the reason for this block.
can I turn off the notification sound and off the vibrate when a new message comes in?
Currently, Viber uses your phone's general sound/vibration settings. In the future, we plan to add specific settings for that inside Viber's settings.
Please i buy i pad2 version 5.0.1 64gb i install viber from apple store but it doesnot work the say it is not work on ipad and ipod but i install it on i pod touch it work normally so how can viber work on ipad 2 wifi please

Already try setting up my account on google, mobile number, but still it doesnt show my number in the account…please help from step 1 coz my skills on this tech things are not good at all
Hi Ignacio,
The authorities in the UAE have decided to block Viber in the whole country, and that is why you are experiencing this issue. Unfortunately there is not much we can do to help
Try contacting the authorities and ask for the reason for this block.
i have successfully downloaded viber on my apple mac book pro but cnt use the application.cn someone help me thru this pliz !!!!
Viber does not support Mac Books yet.
We play to support it at some point in the future, but we still have no concrete news.
Stay tuned for news and updates on our Facebook page
why viber is not working in CDMA blackberry in India
Please note that Viber does not officially support CDMA connections, but rather only 3G and WiFi.
Have you tried testing Viber when connecting to a WiFi network? Does it work?
Well, don't make a big deal out of it please. It will be similar to Messages beta for Mac. It will not be a beta in the next release of Mac OS. If you wanna verify ppl for the same account used on their phones, then just send a code from their desktop client to the phone and they enter the code and done. This is done by many applications since ages ago. There are a lot of similar apps now in the market, u wanna get a head of them, release the simple app for desktop and allow multi use of an account.
Viber for PC is under development these days, and the authentication methods are still being discussed
Once we have news, we'll let our fans know.
Tango is already available for PC, Android, iPhone, and Windows Phone.
Viber is also available on Android iPhone and Windows Phone. Viber for PC is also in the works
Let's hope for a Linux version too.
That is something we are considering, but unfortunately we still have no concrete plans. Once we have news, we'll publish it officially through our Facebook or Twitter pages
I need viber for PC!
Working on it
Once we have news, we will let you know.
I currently live in Timor-Leste and love using Viber to contact my friends abroad. Since the only cellular provider (Timor Telecom) has upgraded all numbers, now there´s an additional 7 at the beginning of the numbers (8 characters). Because I installed the new version of Viber and need to get the activation code, I can´t get it because Viber only recognises the old numbers (7 characters). And even if I insert the old number I still can´t get it (using both sms and automated call) because no messages or calls go through when using the old number.
When will Viber upgrade Timor-Leste´s numbers so we can use it?
Hi Soi,
Thank you for your message.
This issue is actually known to us, and we're working to fix it these days. We hope to resolve this issue completely soon, and we would appreciate your feedback once this happens.
We apologize for the temporary inconvenience :/
Thank you for the reply… Once it´s avalable in here, I´ll let you guys know
Thank you!
Thank you for the infomation… Once it´s avalable in here, I´ll let you guys know
Been using viber (on my android phone) for quite sometime and have not had major problems. Unfortunately, since I updated to 2.3 version, I am unable to send photos anymore? What could the problem be? Thanks in advance for your help.

Rxcited to inform everyone that after installing the updated version (v.2.3.3), I am now able to send photos again as I have requested 2 months ago. Thanks Viber.
This is great news!
Enjoy Viber
Is there a Beta version that I could try out? to test for bugs?

I am on level 350, but going back and playing earlier levels to get three stars, just for fun.
I tried this level probably 30 times on the iPad, and I honestly could not see how I ever completed it in the first place! Then I tried it on the PC and got two stars on the very first try.
It really does not work properly on mobile devices, I'm afraid.

GPS Sustainability Fellows Explore Water Management Issues in Workshop
By Tara Laskowski
It was a course of many firsts.
For George Mason University, it was the first official workshop of the Global Problem-Solving (GPS) Consortium and an idea, an experiment, came to fruition for Provost Peter Stearns. For several of the international students coming to Mason, it was their first time in the United States, their first time flying on a plane, their first time canoeing or tubing, or sampling water from other countries.
And yet within all these firsts came a lot of learning and a lot of perspective.
Founded in 2012 by Provost Stearns, the GPS Consortium is a distinctive partnership among eight global universities, representing almost every continent, who have pledged to work together to create academic programs focused on presenting regional approaches and solutions to pressing global issues.
The group first met at Mason last year for a three-day inaugural conference, during which they laid the groundwork for future discussions, workshops, and teaching opportunities.
The workshop last month was the first GPS gathering since that initial meeting and included undergraduate students from each of the prestigious international universities in the consortium, representing the countries of Brazil, China, India, Kenya, Korea, Russia, Turkey, and the United States. The eight students each received a fellowship to travel and attend the workshop, and were joined by a group of Mason students taking the class in the summer session. Led by Mason environmental science and policy professor Dann Sklarew, the group focused on water management and sustainability, an issue identified by nearly every country as one of great concern.
From sampling bottled water from around the world to touring local watersheds, the students were immersed in all areas of water management and shared their own perspectives and problems from their homeland.
Alfred Murerwa, a fellow from Kenyatta University in Nairobi, Kenya, was particularly interested in issues of resource planning. "I am aware of the many challenges facing water resources in my country, specifically with pollution of the Nairobi River. I wanted to learn about the many ways that people have dealt with water problems in different countries," he says.
The students took several field trips to explore water management in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and met both formally and informally with a variety of experts in the field of water management and environmental sustainability. They toured the Smithsonian-Mason School of Conservation, had a live video chat in Mason's Telepresence room with a scholar from Moscow's Higher School of Economics on Russia's water challenges, listened to Mason experts give presentations on their research, and broke into groups to work on specific case studies.
"They were moving around a lot, experiencing new things, and meeting lots of people," says Sklarew. "Each of them was chosen for their experiences and expertise in some area of water management. So we were excited to see what would happen when they all came together to talk."
Provost Stearns also led a lively lunch discussion exploring the fundamental human right to water. "Mason's summer programs focused on human rights this year," notes Sklarew, "So Dr. Stearns challenged our students to consider whether an America-oriented solution could be globally applicable to the hundreds of millions still without access to clean water."
"A very useful and important aspect of this workshop was that it brought students and their experience from different parts of the world together at the same platform," says Mayank Jain, a fellow from the Cluster Innovation Centre of the University of Delhi in India. "Most surprising, for me, was the fact that even the [USA], so-called most developed country, is not able to control water pollution due to industries."
For Mason's GPS fellow, Lindsey Denny, this course was a way to "study abroad" domestically. Being surrounded by other fellows from so many different countries offered her a different perspective on things and gave her the opportunity to learn about bodies of water and water issues that she would have never even heard about otherwise.
It also offered her a new perspective on her own university and city. "I was very eager to serve as an unofficial tour guide for the international fellows," she says. "We truly maximized our time together and I got to do and see things within the Washington metro area that I hadn't yet managed to in my four years here."
It wasn't all learning—fellows were treated to fireworks on the Fourth of July, picnic barbeques, tubing on the Potomac River, and canoeing on the Occoquan River. Jain says he enjoyed the inclusion of fun activities in the learning process. "We canoed to learn about wildlife changes in water due to human activities. Learning through these methods is actually the most effective learning."
R. Paul Gray, a managing member of the Potomac Management Group LLC, George Mason University Foundation board member, and the chair of the E4 Foundation that funded the workshop, was very excited about bringing together students for this global perspective. "These are our future leaders—they are the ambassadors of the future," he says. "These are the kinds of projects I like to support, projects that inspire and encourage."
The GPS Consortium plans to host a workshop each year at a different university around the globe. Next year, the consortium will send students to Moscow to learn about global food security.
"I believe we do better as a global society if we challenge our own assumptions and listen to other people," says Stearns.

that's the position Wildomar officials and the chief opponent are taking toward the fate of the city's park tax measure.
Verjil, Riverside County's registrar of voters, released an updated vote count from the Nov. 6 election Tuesday night while announcing that 60,000 provisional ballots and 9,000 damaged ballots remain uncounted. The next update was scheduled for Friday evening, but she has until Dec. 4 to certify the results.
An update earlier this week showed that Wildomar's Measure Z has garnered 67.77 percent of the votes counted so far, which is 1 percentage point above the two-thirds rate needed for passage of a special tax.
Still, City Council members and administrators remained unwilling during Wednesday night's meeting to declare victory. The staff declined to discuss what the city might do with its parks should the $28 per parcel annual levy pass.
"That's going to be put on pause until this process is complete," Assistant City Manager Gary Nordquist said.
Measure Z opponent Martha Bridges, who wrote sample ballot statements against the issue, also was not ready to concede defeat.
"I don't want to say anything until the registrar of voters certifies the results," Bridges said Thursday. "Then we can all go from there."
Out of 9,700 ballots counted through Tuesday on Measure Z, 6,574 voters favored it, which amounts to 113 votes more than were needed to clear the two-thirds hurdle.
John Fairbank, a political consultant whose analysis of a pre-election voters' survey showed that the measure could win, said the election results to date point to success. The gap in favor of the measure has continued to increase with each update after the initial vote count had the measure failing with 62.6 percent in favor.
Even if the remaining untallied votes came at that rate, that would still leave the measure above the 66.7 percent needed for passage.
"The trend is working for them, obviously," he said. "We would look at this as very, very encouraging."
Passage of Measure Z would deliver the city more than $300,000 a year that it could use to reopen the two parks it closed and resume operations responsibility for Marna O'Brien Park.
Because of a lack of park funding, city officials last year locked the gates to Windsong and Regency Heritage parks, which total about 6 acres, and turned over management of 9-acre Marna O'Brien Park to a nonprofit. The volunteer group primarily keeps the park's ball fields in shape for youth and adult sports leagues, but conditions are deteriorating because of dwindling resources.
Wildomar's park funding dried up in 2010 when a previous $28 parcel tax was successfully challenged in court by a lawsuit brought by a city resident. It had been approved by more than 50 percent of property owners in a 2006 vote.
By obtaining supermajority approval of a special tax by the general electorate, Wildomar officials believe it is legally defensible. They remain fearful of a challenge, however, given the litigious trend the city has experienced in its 41/2 years of existence.
"My fear is there is still a group out there that's going to challenge this," Mayor Ben Benoit said during Wednesday's meeting.
Assuming passage, the tax wouldn't go into effect until the fiscal year starting July 1, 2013, and revenue would not be available until early 2014.
Still, Nordquist said recently, the council probably would be able to authorize some positive actions at the three parks if there is a guaranteed source of funding available in the near future.

This blog post would be fun to turn into a writing assignment: Have minor characters in a novel your students are studying discuss the other minor characters in the manner of Mr. Palmer.
The website for Jane Austen's House Museum has information about Chawton House and Jane Austen, and it includes supporting materials for teachers.
"Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet on Facebook? With social networking the hot topic of the day, a computer science grad student, his advisor and a literature professor teamed up to analyze social interactions in 19th century British novels."
A good introduction to British forms of address from knight to duke along with examples from the works of Jane Austen and Downton Abbey.
This book reviews Jane Austen sequels, fan fiction, and paraliterature.
"AskJaneAusten.com offers sensible advice culled from Jane Austen's letters and novels, including Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma. While this site doesn't proport to offer more than entertainment, often times Miss Austen's advice is remarkably appropriate for the situation at hand — whether these concerns be love relationships, friendship repair, or of a sensitive financial nature. After all, human nature hasn't changed much in several centuries."
"Jane Austen's fiction manuscripts are the first significant body of holograph evidence surviving for any British novelist. They represent every stage of her writing career and a variety of physical states: working drafts, fair copies, and handwritten publications for private circulation. The manuscripts were held in a single collection until 1845, when at her sister Cassandra's death they were dispersed among family members, with a second major dispersal, to public institutions and private collections, in the 1920s.1 Digitization enables their virtual reunification and will provides scholars with the first opportunity to make simultaneous ocular comparison of their different physical and conceptual states; it will facilitate intimate and systematic study of Austen's working practices across her career, a remarkably neglected area of scholarship within the huge, world-wide Austen critical industry.
Many of the Austen manuscripts are frail; open and sustained access has long been impossible for conservation and location reasons. Digitization at this stage in their lives not only offers the opportunity for the virtual reunification of a key manuscript resource, it will also be accompanied by a record in as complete a form as possible of the conservation history and current material state of these manuscripts to assist their future conservation."
Aunt Jane is out and the Brontës are in, so sayeth the Times. I will take both.
The Divine Jane is a short documentary film specially commissioned for the exhibition A Woman's Wit: Jane Austen's Life and Legacy. It examines the influence of Austen's fiction—and her enduring fame— through interviews with leading writers, scholars, and actors.
Jane Austen's novels, one chapter at a time, via podcast.

Warm Welcome
February 3, 2009
By Lance Cpl. Cristina Noelia Gil, Combined-Joint Information Bureau Staff Writer
Story Highlights
- Soldiers provide warm welcome to Cobra Gold participants

CHIANG MAI, Thailand - As participants of Cobra Gold 09 step foot in Thailand after what can be a long, tiring flight, they are welcomed and oriented by members of the Joint Reception Center staff at various hubs throughout the country.
Since Jan. 22, Soldiers of the 35th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion from Camp Zama, Japan, have been hard at work ensuring military personnel and civilian contractors involved in the 28th annual training exercise get in-processed and transported to their final destination in an efficient manner through JRCs.
Cobra Gold is a regularly scheduled joint/coalition multinational exercise and is the latest in the continuation series of U.S.-Thai military exercise designed to ensure regional peace and stability.
Currently, JRCs are set up in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Utapao International Airports. When necessary, they also travel to Korat and Phitsanulok to receive personnel arriving on chartered or military aircraft.
"We are the first people they see as part of Cobra Gold and it is our responsibility to ensure accountability and get people to the right place," said Sgt. Cassandra Wong, a staff member at JRC Chiang Mai.
Administrative personnel provide information on incoming personnel itineraries to JRC staff, who in turn ensure they receive the correct number of personnel from each inbound flight. In order to make their presence known, JRC personnel stand by in the baggage claim area, displaying signs with the CG 09 logo and telling people where to go.
Once they have identified themselves to JRC staff, incoming personnel are entered into the Tactical Processing System, a computer program which ensures total accountability for personnel assigned to this year's exercise, according to Wong.

JRC staff is located at the airports around the clock in order to catch personnel who may not have been on the rosters and come in unexpectedly. On their first day on the job at JRC Chiang Mai, personnel were told to expect approximately 20 personnel and consequently they arranged for transportation to accommodate that number. When they ended up receiving more than 50 people, they had to call in last-minute transportation.
"We fix any problems that may come up as soon as we notice them in order to avoid confusion later on down the line. We do everything we can to make the process quick and smooth," said Wong.
Along with ensuring a smooth check-in process, the Soldiers of the 35th CSSB also locate missing baggage and arrange for delivery to the right person.
"They are the key link to ensure inland transportation assets are laid on for movement by van, buses, baggage trucks to eliminate extended stay at the airport," said Maj. Stephanie Barton, joint logistics representative for CG 2009.
JRC staff will be hard at work through the end of the exercise. Upon the completion of events, they will make sure personnel are out-processed and arrange transportation to the airports and main hubs.
According to Barton, their efforts have not gone unnoticed, as several high-ranking officers and unit commanders have acknowledged how smoothly they have been operating.
"We are here to provide support," said Staff. Sgt. Aurelio Jimenez, JRC Chiang Mai staff member. "That is our mission."
