techy question, can an ipad last for a whole 9 hr flight watching videos and playing games??

I think it could last for most, if not the whole flight to be honest! A lot of planes now also have power points that you could use. You can buy videos from iTunes or any other video files you have on your computer can be put into iTunes. Obviously some will need converting to a different format though. :)
Probably not the whole flight. Apple and most testers have indicated a 10 to 11 hour batter life for the iPad. However, Gizmodo did an iPad battery test (article here) that only let them get about 5 hours and 45 minutes of constant use between movies and graphics intensive games.Quote:

If you're willing to pay the price.
As far as movies on the iPad are concerned, what kind of movies are you talking about. DVD's?
Tom (:macwave:... probably...)
I wondered about this too until our december flights. A friend loaded a ton of movies onto my ipad for the flight and since there was nothing good on the plane's system I thought I'd try watching them.
It lasted the whole flight watching films, I didn't eat the awful meals or anything else so it really was a full 8 hours, and still had plenty of juice left by the time I got off!
I don't know if it's typical, or if it's that I havent used the ipad very much or if I had the brightness down or what, but I was incredibly impressed by it!
Cool! :thumbsup:
What kind of battery capacity did you have left after the flight Keith?
Tom (:macwave:... just wondering...)
Ach :( I don't remember exactly. I want to say just less than 20% which I agree sounds incredibly high. All I can say is that I wasn't at all bothered or worried that it wouldn't last, it was ALWAYS high enough that I knew I'd be fine.Quote:

Just to add, as I said, I charged the ipad fully the day we left Orlando. Used it solidly through the 8 hour flight to watch movies etc. I had left it in my carry on since the day we got home (17th December).
Came to it today expecting to see it completely dead and it had 31% battery left!
It's a completely amazing device battery wise in my experience

Paris embraces Russian style
PARIS Paris embraced Mother Russia, as designers in the French capital on Wednesday sent out fall 2009-winter 2010 ready-to-wear collections inspired by Russian peasant blouses, embroidered skirts and military uniforms.
Although springtime made its first tentative appearance outside, it was snowing on the catwalk at the John Galliano show. The British designer delivered an outrageous collection of hip-waisted coats, sculpted felt skirt suits and diaphanous Russian bridal gowns – all heavy with embroidery, chains, medallions and tinkling coins.
Model-actress Milla Jovovich, who was born in Kiev, hailed the show as "amazing."
"It was like some opening into a doorway of dreams in Russian-Ukrainian fairy tale fantasy dreams," the first-row guest told reporters backstage.
Kenzo sent out oversized felt coats and voluminous striped knits that were fit for a Siberian winter. The label's Italian designer Antonio Marras said he had imagined a Russian woman packing her trunk for a train trip to Paris. The look represented "the marriage between Russian culture and French allure," he added.
French labels Hermes and Chloe didn't stray so far from home. Both sent out collections that were deeply rooted in their heritage, with leather outwear taking center stage at Hermes and at Chloe, flirty casuals.
Red-carpet favorite Elie Saab got serious about daywear, delivering an edgy collection of formfitting asymmetrical sheath dresses that exuded a slightly kinky feel.
Paris' nine-day-long pret-a-porter week wraps up on Thursday with displays by Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu, Prada's second line.
Flurries of foam fell like thick Siberian snow onto garments inspired by the traditional fineries of Mother Russia and her far-flung provinces.
Each look was more elaborate than the next.
An ultra-voluminous vest in embroidered gray felt was paired with an equally voluminous skirt which was layered over churidars that gathered a riot of voluptuous folds at the ankle. Add a coin-covered headdress and towering platform shoes with an ingenious cutout base and you begin to get the idea.
Other skirts, made what appeared to from boiled wool were sculpted through their extra-wide hips. Kicky short skits in rich Russian red were worn with white balloon sleeved peasant shirts, cropped suspender vests and lace-up platform sandals punctuated by oversized pompoms that climbed to the knee.
Brides in rose crowns with layers of trailing chiffon veils wore diaphanous gowns with Galliano's hallmark long lean bias cut. Their coin-covered panties glinted from beneath the radiant silver silk.
Galliano appeared at the end of the show wearing riding boots, a swashbuckler coat and a tri-corner hat. Puffing his chest, he took a deep bow as the crowd cheered enthusiastically.
"It was fantastic, theatrical, brilliant," gushed studio exec Harvey Weinstein, a front-row guest.
With its oversized felt coats and voluminous striped knits, the Kenzo collection was one of few the shown in Paris – which was dominated by a parade of short cocktail dresses, some in diaphanous chiffons – that actually looked warm.
Marras said he had tried to imagine what a chic Russian woman would pack for a train trip to Paris.
"It's a very, very cold winter in Russia," Marras told Associated Press Television News. "She packs (her trunk) with a military jacket, an embroidered dress, platform boots, scarves, gloves ... In Paris, you have the marriage between Russian culture and French allure."
Models wearing peasant skirts in knit stripes or dusty flower prints with cowl-neck blouses and cocoon-shaped coats traipsed down a catwalk made of weathered wooden planks. Bulky scarves and knit caps or earflap hats topped off the looks, in dusky purples, peacock blues, grays and jade green.
One knockout piece was an A-line ivory sweater dress with embroidered branches that dripped with little red berries.

Lennon furious with rugby-style defending
Soccer:Neil Lennon blasted Spanish referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco after Celtic were beaten 3-0 defeat by Juventus at Parkhead last night. Goals from Alessandro Matri, Claudio Marchisio and Mirko Vucinic all but ended the Hoops' European hopes in the first leg of their last-16 tie.
However, the Celtic boss was raging with the referee and his officials for their reluctance to punish the Juventus players for what at times resembled a wrestling match in the visitors' box. Lennon: "I would like to ask the Italian journalists what they made of the way Juventus marked our players. It looked to me as if they were fouling at every opportunity.
"The referee was warned by our players to keep an eye on it but he ignored our requests time and again. We were getting hauled back and the referee is looking straight at it. Are the rules different in Spain and Italy to what they are in Britain? On that showing they must be.
"We played Juventus in 2001 here and (Paolo) Montero was marking Chris Sutton and the referee warned him, but he persisted with it and he gave a penalty and we went on to win 4-3, so what is the difference? What is the Spanish referee's interpretation of that?
"I pointed it out to the referee at half-time but he waved me away. I made it clear to the players to flag it up and they did. It is not rugby they are playing, it is soccer. There is a way to defend and we do it as fairly as possible. I am not convinced the extra officials (behind the goals) help the referee or get involved with him."
Lennon, though, was reluctant to admit he made a mistake by playing Efe Ambrose, who had featured for Nigeria in their 1-0 African Nations Cup final win over Burkina Faso on Sunday evening and did not arrive back in Glasgow until this morning. The former Celtic skipper said: "He was caught for the first goal but it was nothing to do with tiredness and I felt once he got over that he was fine.
"There was no sign of tiredness when he goes in and should score with a header, that is down to a bad miss . Maybe late as the game progressed he did tire, but with losing Mikael Lustig we had no alternative but to keep Efe on because we needed the pace at the back.
"You always ask questions in hindsight and maybe it was a bit of gamble, but I can't really criticise the team apart from the final bit of quality to get us a goal."
Juventus manager Antonio Conte stayed away from any controversy when told about Lennon's assessment of the referee. He said: "Quite often in Italy we have the bad habit of over-criticising so I will leave it to the Celtic manager to criticise this evening."
Conte was satisfied with his side's performance during what was at times a frantic match. He said: "Celtic are a good team but we knew this, and there was a fantastic crowd who were like two extra men and that can only drive a team on.
"So it was a difficult match for us, but we kept our heads. Celtic played with great intensity but we showed great maturity and overall it was an excellent result for us."

The fact that around 90% of babies diagnosed with Down's Syndrome are aborted. And, growing out of that perverse statistic, we get stories like this: "The parents of a four-year-old Oregon girl with Down syndrome are suing Legacy Health in Portland because they say doctors misdiagnosed their daughter as not having the condition during a prenatal screening.
As a result of doctors' reassurances, according to KATU, the parents decided to continue the pregnancy. They are suing for $7 million, an amount they say will pay for the girl's care for life."
One of the students in my special ed class at school has Down's Syndrome. Yes, she struggles academically and yes, she has physical limitations. And yes, she's going to need some level of lifelong care from her family. But I'm not sure that I've ever known anyone who can give affection as effortlessly as Juman. Laughter, smiles, enthusiasm and affection come more naturally to her than to just about anyone else I've ever known. Yes, there are unique, life-long difficulties inherent in having a child with Down's, but there are incredibly unique, life-long rewards too. (There are other questions here as well concerning the legitimacy of limiting human control, the perils of thinking about life in utilitarian terms, and so forth. So more to come on this, I'm sure.)

This is an incredible iPad, superb build, phenomenal screen!!
This review is from: Apple iPad mini with Retina Display ME280LL/A (32GB, Wi-Fi, White with Silver)
Pros: Build is excellent, not a flaw that I can see. Extremely fast and easy to use, movies and animation especially (I'm a cartoon junkie) look sharp and crisp it's one half a notch nicer than my Nexus 7.2. I've got several android tablets and always wanted an iPad and the retina mini was what I was looking forward too. Battery lasts very long, best I've had.
Cons: They are pricey but the quality is exceptional. I'm getting an Air soon so I can really enjoy the display.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The mighty Mississippi river flows right by the Science Museum of Minnesota, but that river is anything but constant. We're reminded of that in spring.
"Rivers are very dynamic. Rivers are constantly evolving over time," explained Patrick Hamilton of the Science Museum of Minnesota.
So the Science Museum thought, why not mix a bit of fun with science?
"We really want to help people understand through this miniature golf course that landscapes are in constant flux," said Hamilton. "The first view is an overview of the entire North American continent."
Each hole demonstrates a different part of the dynamic river system.
Hamilton explains: "We got water flowing from the mountains, streams flowing into rivers, flowing through the plain and into the ocean. Hole number four is about urban landscapes. Even in urban environments we live in watersheds. Hole number six is about rainwater gardens. What we can do to help capture storm water run off in urban areas."
They even have a meandering river which can flood periodically and change course.
"This meandering river changes flow over time," said Hamilton, "But, periodically it floods, cuts off the meander, and goes into flood mode."

yummm! this was delicious, lennie - thank you! i made it pretty much exactly according to the recipe, and it got rave reviews all around. I really liked the flavour the balsamic vinegar added. I will certainly be making this again! (and it was really easy too :)
Great recipe! Unusual flavor, but good. I added baby carrots and a little red wine vinegar, its not as tart as the balsamic. It could use something to thicken the sauce.
This certainly smelled fantastic when I finally got in from work! Tastes pretty good too. My toddler also ate this without protest.Didn't really notice the cayenne.I also was out of fresh gingerroot so made do with ground ginger which worked okay.
We LOVED it! Definitely follow the others' recommendation for 28 oz. can of tomatoes, (we like whole), and 1/8th tsp. cayenne. I quick sauteed onions, garlic and fresh ginger and threw into slow cooker (with liner) and then dumped in the rest of the ingredients, gave it a quick stir, came home from work and voila: a scrumptious dinner, (I served it with "warm Indian zucchini salad")!
I really, really liked this! My husband was not a big fan, but he ate it. So I enjoyed the leftovers all week for lunch! The flavors are wonderful.
Very good and easy recipe. We like spicy food and this was just about too spicy- I'd cut back on the cayenne a bit next time- otherwise you just taste 'hot' and not the different flavors. We used canned tomatoes juice. We ate it over rice.
I loved this recipe, and I would not change a thing! Thank you for posting!
I love indian food so I think I was expecting more of that kind of taste / spice. It had too many tomatoes for me and not enough heat. My husband loved it though, so I give it 3 stars!
I like the idea of this recipe but was not happy with the result. The flavors were kind of bland and muddled whereas I was hoping for something that was dark and spicy. Sorry.
This is very good! I used half the cayenne which was plenty for the spice-haters in the house. We spice-lovers just added more to our own bowls.

Atlanta, GA (AP) - A strategist and spokesman for a Republican running for Congress in southwest Georgia has resigned following his indictment in a vote-buying case in Alabama.
Jay Walker resigned Monday as a consultant for Republican Mike Keown, who is running against Democratic Rep. Sanford Bishop. Keown campaign manager Andrew O'Shea said Walker told Keown's campaign Monday about the criminal charges and resigned.
O'Shea said the GOP candidate was very troubled by the
allegations. Walker was among nearly a dozen defendants charged in an indictment announced Monday that accuses an Alabama casino owner, lawmakers and lobbyists of buying and selling votes.
A phone listing for Walker was not available. He was scheduled to appear in court Monday. It was unclear if Walker had an attorney.

Anti-Social Behaviour Is a Health Issue and Should Be Tackled from That Perspective
Byline: By Madeleine Brindley Western Mail
This is an important year for public health. The long-awaited ban on smoking in enclosed public spaces will come into effect in the spring and the age for the legal purchase of cigarettes will be increased from 16 to 18 years later in the year.
And, thanks to Jamie Oliver, among others, the new epidemic of overweight and obesity is beginning to be taken seriously.
But what about the epidemic of crime and anti-social behaviour?
There is no question that this epidemic is being taken seriously at the highest levels because the populace demand it. But is it being taken seriously enough as a public health problem as well as a law and order one?
The answer is almost certainly not.
So, why should it be taken seriously as a public health issue? What is the link between crime and anti-social behaviour on the one hand and public health?
In fact they are linked at three distinct levels.
Clearly, victims of crime suffer negative health effects, psychological, physical or more usually both, but fortunately, even with the current epidemic, being a victim of crime or anti-social behaviour is still comparatively rare so the overall impact is relatively small, though it may not seem to be so on a Saturday evening in a busy Accident and Emergency department.
Then there is the fear of crime. The notion that this is a problem in its own right emerged during the 1970s from the results of victimisation surveys in the US.
The prevalence of fear of crime in Britain has been estimated from time to time including via the British Social Attitudes Survey. A third of women and a quarter of men report that worries about crime affect their everyday lives with older age groups being more fearful than younger ones.
Interestingly, young men are the least fearful of crime even though they are the most likely victims. They are, of course, also the most likely perpetrators.
So fear of crime is a major cause of anxiety and restricts social and other activities. It is thus a major detractor from health and well-being. …

Booster seats
Me 27, DH 32, DS1 10-12-06, DS2 9-9-09, DD Due: 2-19-13

Me 27, DH 32, DS1 10-12-06, DS2 9-9-09, DD Due: 2-19-13
My kids are really tall (because we are- hubby is 6'5) so we switch them to booster seats as soon as it's legal which is 4 years old. If my kids were smaller I'd wait. We always make sure the belt is at it's lowest point so it hits them properly across the shoulder and not their neck.
I am all for keeping them harnessed. I have a four year old and just bought another harness seat because I plan to keep him that way for a while longer yet. The seat even recommends keeping the child harnessed until hitting the weight limit (but for that seat my child would be in middle school - 90lbs!). Anyways, I think a lot depends on the child, too. Mine is squirmy and action packed, and I wouldn't feel even slightly comfortable moving him to a non-harness restraint!
Wife(22) to Joey(28). Mommy of 3 Kai(11/08), Jasmine(4/10), N' Jordan(1/28/2013)Proud2b a painmed free laboring, lactating, schoolin', workin' mommy!
Law here is 8 or 80lbs to be out of booster. ODD is 7 and 75lbs. Middle DD is 5 and almost 50lbs and in a booster and YDD is 2 1/2 37lbs and in a 5 point harness carseat. We plan on switching her to a 5 point booster seat when she gets tall enough, only an inch or 2 to go. All of our kids have been in the 90-95th percentile in height and weight.
Stephanie (30)
My DS will be five in September and is still in a 5-point. He's a big boy, 46 inches and 47 pounds, and I plan to keep him in the 5-point until he hits the limit for his seat. Then he'll switch to a high-back booster.
The fact is, a 5-point harness is safer than a booster (as long as they are under the height and weight limits). Not that they are necessarily unsafe in a booster, but a 5-point is proven to be safer. So my thoughts are to keep them in a 5-point as long as possible. Same thing as rear-facing being proven safer than forward-facing. I still have my two-year-old rear-facing and will until he outgrows the rear-facing limits on his seat.
My 8-year-old gets mad sometimes about still being in a high-back booster. But she's only 51 inches and 58 pounds. Technically in Wisconsin the law says you need to be in a booster until eight years old, or 57 inches and 80 pounds, whichever comes first. But my rule is you have to be all of those, since I feel the height and weight are more important than the age. So she hates that all her friends got to give up boosters when they turned eight. But luckily she is old enough to understand my reasoning a bit, and she gets that we only want to keep her safe.
It's just one of those things you have to figure out what feels right for you, keeping in mind the current laws, recommendations, and research. The fact that something is safer doesn't mean that something else is completely unsafe. If we all did what was safest, we'd all be in rear-facing, 5-point harnesses. Lol. Not very practical for driving!
Mommy of K 11/03 CS, E 6/05 CS, O 9/07 CS, D 7/10 VBA3C, and M 2/13 VBA3C
Considering my ERF goal is 4yo...... We will start booster training sometime after 6yo *IF* she shows the maturity to be able to sit correctly the entire time. Depending on how training goes she'll be in a booster full time around 7. I am planning on getting her a Britax Frontier 85 which has the tallest harness to accomadate her height when the time comes.
ETA: she will booster until she can 5 step without one even if she is 10. 5step test is butt all the way back against the seat, knees bent at the edge of the seat, belt across the hips not tummy, belt across the shoulder not touching the neck, and stays that way the whole time (even sleeping)

MANTOLOKING, N.J. - The view across Barnegat Bay from Sandra Witkowski's lovely breakfast room isn't so lovely anymore.
Hurricane Sandy blew a neighbor's bay-front house off its foundation and into the boat channel Witkowski sees from her breakfast table. Swans and ducks serenely swim past as if the edifice is just another buoy marker.
So much has changed since Oct. 29, Witkowski noticed as she and a few other families returned home Friday to this narrow, northern Ocean County barrier island town, the last storm-ravaged Jersey Shore community to allow residents to permanently come back. Sandy washed away or destroyed half of Mantoloking's 521 homes.

|Editorial - Upland Grapples With Pot Question
|The Press Enterprise - March 25th, 2015
|The city of Upland is among the latest Inland Empire cities to struggle with the question of whether or not to accept medical marijuana dispensaries. It is clear that bans on marijuana, for recreational or purportedly medicinal uses, don't curb demand and won't work. Even if they could, it is difficult to fathom why doing so is justified.

|A Higher Law - Crafting California's 2016 Marijuana Legalization Bill
|Huffington Post - January 12th, 2015
|The recent Emerald Cup's 2016 California marijuana legalization panel may have been in the only hall of the Santa Rosa Fairgrounds not smelling of skunkweed, but there was still plenty of energetic buzz among the half dozen speakers. For the first time, the sometimes competitive factions of the state's cannabis movement were sitting at the same table, discussing what an evolved legalization measure might look like.
|California Activists Debate Legalization's Future
|The Leaf Online - January 10th, 2015

The event, a prohibition "post mortem" panel sponsored by the Coalition for Cannabis Policy Reform (CCPR), was notable for its relatively civil tone but also outlined some of the most difficult challenges facing a diverse state-wide movement attempting to present a unified front to voters over the 22 months between now and Election Day.

|Key Issues For Returning California Legislature
|The Sacramento Bee - January 5th, 2015
|Here we go again. A new year means a new Legislature, complete with 37 new lawmakers, 38 new committee chairs and three leaders new to opening session atop their caucuses. They will bring a burst of activity to downtown Sacramento, where the corridors of the state Capitol, the coffee shops and the restaurants will soon hum with staff, lawmakers and lobbyists plying their trade.

This place has all the amenities, but is in a generally run down condition. Roadways were poorly maintained with many bumps and potholes. It was a weekend and vehicles were everywhere, making it difficult to traverse to/from our site. Rest rooms and laundry facilities were dirty and in poor shape. Hookups were not well marked and disorganized and we found that we were overlapping other peoples' cables and hoses to get to one that was accessible. We never did find a sewer hookup. We had problems with consistent power output. - Sunny5

My wife, Norma, and I were ready to attend a funeral, and I went to the mailbox to mail a letter. A car came by at a high rate of speed and a cat fell or jumped out from underneath. It skidded down the road a long distance before crawling into a brushy area of our property.
Upon return from the funeral, the first thing my wife did was go down to the brushy area and call, "Kitty, Kitty," for the cat. He came out with some injuries. His foot was damaged and an area by his mouth had the skin torn off.
Norma lovingly nursed him back to health, but he would not meow or make any sound. He never had any identification, so we decided to keep him. We named him "Cataramas," after the children's story of a male cat that tried to impress a female cat with all kinds of tricks, and she would say, "Cataramas, you are a silly old cat."
This cat was really a silly cat. He would climb up on the roof of the house and look down through the bathroom skylight when the bathroom was in use.
We had a small inflatable raft that Norma would tie to a tree by a long rope. She would take the grandchildren in the raft and float down the small river behind our property to the end of the rope, and pull herself and the grandchildren back upstream and float downstream again. One day, Cataramas was on the riverbank and decided it must be fun to float down the river, so he jumped into the raft as it floated by. His claws dug into the thin covering of the raft and the raft began to sink. Needless to say, that ended the rafting experience.
One day, we had a birthday gathering at our home, and I lowered the ladder to the loft above the garage to get a small box for a birthday present. I put the ladder back in place and forgot about it. After the gathering was over, the cat was missing. Norma called everyone that had been there to see if Cataramas had gotten in their car, since he had a bad habit of crawling in visitors' cars if they left a window down even a little bit. But no one had seen him.
Three days went by, and no Cataramas. Then one day, Norma came in from the garage and said, "I know where Cataramas is." Norma has much better ears than I ever had and she said she heard a very low "meow." In all the time we'd had him, Cataramas had never made a sound before. I backed the car out, lowered the ladder, and the cat came down from the storage area above, no worse for his experience.
Cararamas did many silly things over the years but his nine lives ended one day when he ran under the rear wheel of the car as I was driving into the garage. We still have nice memories of this cat who came to our house under unusual circumstances and stayed to entertain us.

Image Stabilization
tkpatric wrote:
Thank you very much! The only thing I need to know is about the Image Stabilization. It is done with the sensor and not by the lens like the P330. The Nikon claims about 3 stops. Is the ZX-10 comparable? I know it is a difficult matter...
I always have IS on and I didn't any test regarding IS. I didn't notice a problem either (no blur).
Claiming 3 stops is easy. Usually the claims are too good. Stabilization by lens may be more efficient than by sensor though. With the first kind you can see shake reduction on the screen, with the second you can't

No more need to dump metldr!!!
EDIT: I got this error
(i replaced the CMAC with *)
No more need to dump metldr!!!
EDIT: I got this error
(i replaced the CMAC with *)
I was going to write more information on my post, but there wasn't an edit button so here it goes.
I will explain the two main options the program has.
Extract METLDR - This extracts the metldr from your flash dump so you can use this in the metldrpwn exploit and dump your root key. The dump file created by the metldrpwn exploit can then be loaded into the program (METLDR Dump).
CEX -> DEX - This creates a modified flash dump to convert your CEX into a DEX, the dump created can then be used to be flashed back to your PS3.
I assume you are getting those CMAC errors because you are attempting to use the extracted metldr as the metldr dump. These are two completely different files, the METLDR Dump is the dump file produced by the metldrpwn exploit. Could you show me part of your root key so I can get a better understanding of what you're actually loading.
You're right, i was loading the metldr i extracted from my flash
If it save to install linux on the ps3 could you link us a page that explain how to use the metldrpwn exploit with the dump? I'd like to use ubuntu on the pc if it is possible
The software works perfectly with partial (without bootloader) or full dump of NAND!
What's the point of converting a retail until into a debug unit?
CEX is only DEX to 3.55??
Randalajoe if you're having -8 errors, you may want to check out: ps3devwiki.com/wiki/OtherOS%2B%2B#Scripts
so does it mean anything that i still have the 4.10 dev firware from febuary..still stuck now stuck at cmac gosh dangit
Interesting , I wish Gunner54 released the source code.
btw, If Gunner54 is reading, you can actually link the C/C++ runtime libraries statically by doing this in your project:
Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library
Then select: Multi-threaded (/MT)
This will save users the need to install any runtime libraries to their PCs to use this.
Oh and please consider releasing the source code, so that this method can be documented easily. Anyway, thanks
From wololo:
Thought this was interesting and wanted to share it ^-^

CCTV release in search for missing Matthew Jordan
Cumbria Police have released CCTV as they search for Matthew Jordan, 20, who went missing in Bowness-on-Windermere.
Matthew, who's from the Middlesborough area, hasn't been since 27th March following a night out.
Detective Chief Inspector Bob Qazi said: "The CCTV images show a male walking though the church yard next to the pub near to the pub that Matthew and his friends were at. We would like to speak to this man in the hope that he may have information on where Matthew went.
"I'd also ask that if there is anyone who may have seen a person matching Matthew's description in the early hours of 27th March to get in touch."

Appeal to find missing Manchester man
Police have issued CCTV footage of a missing man who was last seen a week ago. John Plant, aged 60, was last seen at his home on Wenlock Way, West Gorton, on Wednesday 19 February. He has been suffering from depression in recent months, possibly brought on by his difficulty in getting employment.
John is believed to have left Cosgrove House on Wenlock Way between 10.45pm on Wednesday and the morning of the following day. He does wear glasses but did not take them with him and may have a black woollen hat similar to the one in the video.
Detective Chief Inspector Dave Pester, based at Longsight, said: "It's now been a week since John disappeared and his family are desperate for any news. "We have been following up a number of leads but, as yet, John has yet to make contact.
"He has not been missing before but his family tell us he has been very down recently, possibly brought on by his extreme difficulty in getting back into employment.
"He's clearly a proud man who wants to work and, in the current economic climate, I'm sure people will understand how his continued unemployment has left him upset.
"He also suffers from diabetes and asthma and it's not known if he has his medication with him. His family are beside themselves with worry and just want to hear from him - it's as simple as that. "John, if you are reading this, please get in touch to let everyone know you are ok."

Our initial indication is that that there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death, however speculation as to what may have happened will not give the answers Adam's family is looking for.

Shelby Parmer wasn't holding her breath waiting for the basketball paths traveled by her and her sister to again intersect.
Then it happened: Two signatures. One college. Two more seasons on the same roster.
On July 18, Shelby and Tara Parmer, teammates at Franklin Community High School during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons, signed with St. Mary-of-the-Woods College as part of coach Deanna Bradley's 2014-15 class.
Shelby Parmer, a 5-foot-3 point guard, played two seasons at Vincennes University, averaging 7.8 points and 4.5 assists per game for a 23-7 Trailblazers squad last winter.
A 5-2 shooting guard, Tara Parmer earned a total of 10 varsity letters at Franklin, having also played volleyball and softball. She produced team-high numbers in points (11.1), assists (3.5), steals (3.4) and rebounds (5.4) for the Grizzly Cubs girls basketball team as a senior.
Tara will be a freshman, Shelby a junior.
"After Vincennes, I hadn't really heard anything and was thinking of going to an (Indiana State) or Ball State and just being a student. We went down to (St. Mary-of-the-Woods) for a visit in June, and both loved it," Shelby said. "It's like a small community.
"You step on campus and feel real welcome. I'm really excited. I wouldn't want to finish my basketball career with anyone else."
Those who don't know the sisters display a befuddled facial expression when it's mentioned they'll also be roommates at St. Mary-of-the-Woods.
That's hardly a departure from the norm considering the Parmers shared a bedroom for 16 years at their Franklin residence — 18 if you count when Shelby would return from Vincennes for a weekend or holiday break.
"We were roommates for all those years, so we think we can handle two more," Tara said.
St. Mary-of-the-Woods is an NAIA program coming off an 8-16 season. Two of Bradley's top three scorers from a year ago return: sophomore guards Ja'Breena Gardner and Na-Shaunda Rayford.
Gardner is a 5-5 product of Southport High School who as a freshman averaged team highs in points (14.4), assists (2.6) and steals (4.4) and was second in rebounding (6.3).
The Parmers represent the latest set of sisters coached by Bradley, who looks forward to her 21st season at the school.
"We're thrilled to land the (Parmer) family. They're such good people," Bradley said. "(Shelby and Tara's) size doesn't bother us because both of them make up for it with their speed and tenacity. And they're both great students, so we don't need to worry about that.
"Shelby has had an opportunity to scrimmage with the team this summer, so that has helped. We were needing another point guard, and both Shelby and Tara have very good court sense."
Both sisters plan to major in health care administration. They'll also play a small role in history when they help break in the 45,000-square-foot Knoerle Sports and Recreation Center with the Pomeroys' Nov. 15 home-opener against Miami-Hamilton.
Named for Jeanne Knoerle, who served 15 years as the the school's president (1968-83) and died in June 2013, the facility is the first new building on campus in 50 years.
Previous St. Mary-of-the-Woods women's basketball teams practiced and played home games 17 miles away from campus at the old Clinton High School gymnasium.
The only driving the Parmers will be doing is down the lane.
The last time Shelby and Tara Parmer teamed up as part of the same basketball program, Franklin won 57 percent of its games, going 25-19.
Perhaps they can match or exceed that success with the Pomeroys.
"My high school career was a great experience, and it went by so fast," Tara said. "At first I wasn't wanting to play any sports in college, but we thought this would be another chance to play together one more time.
"It's a blessing knowing I have another chance to play basketball with my sister."

Casio Exilim EX-ZR100

Ask a question in forums about the Casio Exilim EX-ZR100.
Ask a new question
Posted to: Open Talk
Hi I have an Exilim ZR50. Anyway I can turn that into a webcam or a device to capture video. And if it is doable, what sort of frame rate can I achieve? Thanks in advance. J
Photos were taken with HDR. What the hell is this stuff? Also the grass in the foreground is still very dark. I'm surprised that the HDR on this camera doesn't do much for it. I know the photos were taken right into the sun, but my old Casio ZR100 would have handled this better. I just got the RX100 so I'm just starting to learn how to use it.
Manual says, that these cameras have 3 levels of HDR (not HDR-ART), while ZR100-300 have only 1 level. Is it right? Please tell me, how big differense between these levels of the effect? I will be happy, if you add some examples of contrast scene (such as trees with sky on the bakground), shooted with all three levels of HDR. --- I have possibility to buy ZR300 much cheaper and faster, than ZR400. I want to understand, how much usefull and mmm... expressive... 3 levels of HDR in comparison...
Posted to: Casio Talk
The top of my Casio ZR100 Mode Dial has come off & is lost. The mode dial is fine, it's just that the top "mode indicator label)"??? has come off and I cannot find it.Where can I buy a new label for the mode indicator dial?Thanks,John

I'm trying to receive a WOL package within my C# application. I guess the problem why it doesn't work has something to do with how the package is broadcasted by my router running DD-WRT.
The code I use to receive an UDP package:
UdpClient udp = new UdpClient(10);
IPEndPoint all = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0);
while (true)
byte[] receivedBytes = udp.Receive(ref all);
This already worked with my old router but now I have DD-WRT running and it had to be setup like this: I port-forward incoming UDP packages on Port 10 to the (non existing) IP 192.168.1.254 On startup of the router the command "arp -i br0 -s 192.168.1.254 FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF" is executed to broadcast the messages received on that IP. This setup works, a magic package is received by every machine and I can wake them up from outside of my network.
WireShark is able to catch this packages but "udp.Receive(ref all);" is not. This is how a WOL package send to my router looks like in Wireshark: http://i.stack.imgur.com/nxaAP.png
If I send (from within my C# application) a Broadcasted UDP MagicPackage on the other hand, this package is received by my code above. This MagicPackage shows up in Wireshark like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/tPU1v.png
So I'm not 100% sure if the different "Destination" (192.168.1.254 versus 255.255.255.255) or the different "Protocoll" (WOL versus UDP) is the problem. My guess is, that the UdpClient ignores the WOL package because it's destination (within the IP header) is a different IP address (the code is running on machine 192.168.1.2). The second package on the other hand has a destination address of "255.255.255.255" in its IP Header and is therefor catched by the UdpClient.
So the big question is: How do I set up an UDP listener that also receives the WOL package broadcasted by my router?
BTW: I also already tried it with this code but without any luck:
Socket sock = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp);
EndPoint iep = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 10);
byte[] data = new byte[1024];
int recv = sock.ReceiveFrom(data, ref iep);

STATE FARM INSURANCE"A CORPORATE PORTRAIT" The Following comes from the back of the lithograph. This Limited Edition Lithograph was presented in recognition and appreciation for outstanding individual contribution during their 60th Anniversary year. (This was actually given to my Brother-In-Law on the 60th anniversary and hung in his office for many years.) The original Corporate Portrait is an oil painting to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company. In composing this painting, the artist attempted to include all of the important elements that would symbolize this event. President Rust's office became the focal point of the painting and from that point he arranged and rearranged the elements until he had a composition that was both aesthetically pleasing and also symbolic of the event. Their are 7 points of interests and are labeled on the back what they are and w they are located in the picture. A: George J. Mecherle--Founder af State farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company--June 7, 1922 B: Raymond Mecherle--President of State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company--1937-1954 C: George J. Mercherle--President of State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company--1922-1937 D: Adlai H.

Rust G: State Farm insurance Companies Corporate headquarters--Construction began in 1970 and building was occupied in 1972. Lithograph was printed by Black Box Collotype; Chicago, Il This lithograph comes professionally framed and matted---T is NO glass in the frame. Actually the damage was done when it fell of the wall and the glass broke. It is covered in the back and has a wire hanger. Unfortunately t is some minor damage to the picture. I have tried to get a good picture of a scratch that runs across the side of the desk and up to the top of the desk appr. 3". T is also a scratch across the picture on the desk. Another scratch runs across the coat pocket. All of these are very thin scratches and could probably be repaired..I do not think they are noticable enough to be a problem when displayed. If you have an interest in State Farm Insurance or know anyone in the business this would be a great addition to their office or Insurance collection. Shipping is Parcel Post of $10.58 or Priority Mail of $16.80 to the States Insurance is recommended and extra for $1.70 *****NO RESERVE*****U.S. FUNDS ONLY*****

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The California Supreme Court has refused to review the involuntary manslaughter conviction of Michael Jackson's doctor, rejecting his lawyer's petition without comment.
Wednesday's decision by the state's highest court was the latest stop on Conrad Murray's legal odyssey. A state appeals court upheld his conviction earlier this year and then refused to reconsider its decision.
Attorney Valerie Wass says Murray now will take his fight to federal court.
Murray was convicted of giving Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol in 2009 while the singer prepared for a series of comeback concerts.
Murray was convicted in 2011 and served two years in jail.

State launches program to help downtowns
State officials say a program that aims to revitalize downtown commercial districts in communities across Tennessee generated more than $82 million in private and public investment last year.
The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development released on Monday statistics from its Main Street program, which includes 24 towns and cities in the state.
The department says 604 jobs were generated and 107 new businesses sprang up in the 24 communities in 2012.
Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty says the program focuses on revitalizing downtown commercial districts by providing jobs and growing the tax base.
Tennessee's Main Street program communities are Bristol, Cleveland, Collierville, Columbia, Cookeville, Dandridge, Dayton, Dyersburg, Fayetteville, Franklin, Gallatin, Greeneville, Jackson, Leiper's Fork, Kingsport, Lawrenceburg, McMinnville, Murfreesboro, Morristown, Rogersville, Tiptonville, Savannah, Union City and Ripley.

I was talking with my friend, Jake Thompson about a project we're doing to send athletic clothes to some special needs athletes in Wichita East school ( the story is here and here). My friend, Angel is also helping out. Jake and I were discussing that service was a very important part of ownership. I said to Jake, "Money is a subset of value."
Money is a SUBSET of Value
My friend Anthony talks about value creation all the time. He works with sales organizations to help them forge what he calls "Level 4 Value Creation." I'm not smart enough to explain that but I know that the way *I* know how to do business is that I create value, often more than I charge for, and that the whole concept is that value is this nice broad spectrum, of which money is only part.
Content Will Never Be King
Yesterday, I had the pleasure to sit down with my friends Darren Rowse and Brian Clark. The last time the three of us sat quietly was in 2008 or 2009 when we launched the Third Tribe group (ah, memories). I joked that I wanted to bring that back and we could call it Sixth Tribe. You know, Third Tribe 2.0. Alas.
Content Will Never Be King
The conversation was brief, fun, and sprinkled with some melancholy about the fact that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Darren is thriving with his Problogger events and his Digital Photography School. Brian is running Copyblogger Media, which is now a software company instead of a blog about how to write better (Hey Brian – my offer stands). We talked about how the "industry" has changed, and how lots of folks have found it hard to figure out their path. In all, there are no great insights for me to share with you. We were three people who share a professional admiration and whatever kind of friendship we can scrape together when one barely sees or talks to the other but where we like each other's company.
Content Marketing as a Food Truck: Rethinking Content Marketing In A World of Splintered Attention
With well over a billion users, Facebook must easily rank as most people's "where I see interesting stories and click" tool of choice. Sure, us nerds might point to Feedly or Flipboard, but that's not "most people." That's the enlightened. Some of us get our favorite sites to our inbox. But that's more rare than not.
What seems most true, however, is that hardly anyone stops by someone's actual blog any more (or say "site" in case you bristle at the word "blog.") If people aren't visiting blogs directly any more, what do we do? How do we earn that attention? And what matters most in the equation.
Are You Going to Social Media Marketing World? SMMW15
I'm going to Social Media Marketing World in San Diego next Tuesday through Thursday. I'm doing two OFFICIAL things that I'll stop explaining because I keep getting it wrong. Beyond that, most of my time is my own (I've got two other formal obligations and a few friend obligations). I thought I'd write out what my hopes are for the event, in case you and I have some shared interests we should cover.
First and Foremost
I'm definitely there to meet and connect. If you SEE me somewhere and find some dumb reason NOT to connect with me, stop it. Go the hell up and say the hell hello. Okay? Permission! Do it! Add yourself to whatever circle we're hanging in and come say hi. You are NOT allowed to be shy in that moment. You can be shy later. It's okay. Okay? Okay!
How a $200 Chromebook Earned my Company $28,000 in Ten Days
This is the Acer Chromebook 11 CB3-111-C670. It's about the size of a Macbook Air, kinda. It runs the Google Chrome OS, which means it's pretty much like a browser-only deal. All the apps you use are web-based. And this device helped me make $28,000 in ten days.
Could a Chromebook Make You More Money?
I suspect you already know the real answer to how this worked. This Chromebook isn't the most powerful computer in the universe. If you have a lot of tabs open, it doesn't work well. So, I don't have many tabs open. (hint one)
What Writing A Great Sales Letter Taught Me About Everything
I can count on one hand the number of times that something I've tried to sell has been well-received by the people I serve. You know how some kids are a late bloomer? That's me with most of the things I sell. People buy them years later sometimes. But this time, I really struck gold.
How We Write Our Sales Letter Sequence
I learned a lot while putting together the now-defunct webinar version of Online Course Maker. (Let me reiterate: the WEBINAR VERSION IS GONE). First, I learned that there's such a thing as too much information for a format. I tried to cram way too much information into a one-hour webinar, which led to me rushing, skipping over important details, and more. I basically had to take down the webinar after giving it to people who registered and paid for it because it just wasn't the right tool for the job. Instead, I had to break it into a course-style product so that I could give more breath and air to what needed talking about.
GigaOm Reportedly Shutting Down
Unless it's a prank or a hacked account, writer Mathew Ingram reports that GigaOm, a popular blog launched in 2006, is shutting down, evidently having run out of money and/or the will to keep on pushing. Again, it's early, so maybe this is a hacked account. If so, I'll gladly (and with a sigh of relief) pull this post.
UPDATE: Om Malik confirms the story.
How Content Marketing Can Power Your Business
I had a super great time talking to Laura at Laura from Clarity about content marketing and what it might be able to do for companies looking to reach people and do something a bit more meaningful. They don't usually share these conversations with the outside world. Usually just the premium people. But they were kind enough to release this to the wild. Here's how I look at content marketing and the opportunities it has to earn you the permission to sell and add value to a community.
How Do You Know When It's Time to Hire Someone Else?
I was working on the audiobook (long overdue) for my book, The Freaks Shall Inherit the Earth and I came to a part of a chapter that might be useful to you.
Are you thinking of hiring someone else?
Are you a solo business and wondering if you should have a partner? Are you wondering about bringing on someone to tackle the expanding workload? If so, I bet you're wondering about the process and worrying about what you do or don't know about it.
Are You Getting The Most Out of Your Conferences?
I had a wonderful time at Michael Port's Heroic Public Speaking event. There was a lot of value offered for those who attended. As a speaker, I loved sharing what I knew with the folks who were there. But I also operated as an attendee, listening and absorbing, and also getting what I could out of meeting and talking with other attendees. I had a secret opportunity: almost a dozen people there were friends as well as attendees. So I got a LOT out of my time there. But it made me think.
Are you getting the most out of your conferences?
There are some great ways to improve your conference experience, and I want to give you them right now.

DETROIT — It started inside a trailer home in rural Michigan, where a small family gathered before bed for prayer. Years later, the private devotions had evolved into a small militia of "Christian warriors" preparing to fight the Antichrist.
The changes in David Brian Stone's personal theology partly destroyed his marriage, his former wife says, and prosecutors claim they later led him to hatch a plot to kill police officers — a violent act the militia hoped would touch off an uprising against the government.
"The time had come that we needed to arrest them and take them down," U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press.
Prosecutors believe that Stone, 44, of Clayton, is the ringleader of the Hutaree militia, a name the group's Web site says they created to mean "Christian warrior."

He was among eight members arrested during a series of weekend raids in three Midwestern states, which federal officials said they carried out after monitoring the group since last summer and learning they planned to launch their attack in April.
All eight were arrested without incident. A ninth defendant — Stone's son, Joshua Matthew Stone — turned himself in late Monday night after an hours-long standoff with FBI agents and police near a wooded area southwest of Detroit that the group had used for training. He and the others face charges that include seditious conspiracy, or plotting to levy war against the U.S.
Each of the suspects has requested a public defender, and bond hearings are scheduled for Wednesday.
Donna Stone, 44, said her ex-husband created the legal problems now faced by her stepson, Joshua Matthew Stone, and her 19-year-old son, David Brian Stone Jr., by involving them in a militia that grew out of his faith.
"I honestly feel, and think, their dad never told either of those boys what they were getting into," she said. "This a bunch of garbage, these charges. There is no way my son would do these things."
Donna Stone said she met David Brian Stone in the late 1990s in a grocery superstore where she worked.
He courted her and soon afterward, she and her son, Sean Stetten, moved into his small trailer in Lenawee County, near the Ohio state line. The boys were raised as brothers, and David Brian Stone legally adopted Sean, whose name was changed to David Brian Stone Jr.
Both boys were home-schooled and at night, the family would pray together.
"David would preach out of the Bible," said Donna Stone, who said she was married to David Brian Stone for about six years. "He would start at the beginning of Genesis and go to Revelations. He didn't get into Revelations because we didn't agree on it. David said it was supposed to be different. He had his own views. That's when I thought it was time for me to go."
The Hutaree Web site quotes several Bible passages and declares: "We believe that one day, as prophecy says, there will be an Anti-Christ. b site. bk … Jesus wanted us to be ready to defend ourselves using the sword and stay alive using equipment."
Chip Berlet, a senior analyst with Political Research Associates, a think tank based in Somerville, Mass., said Hutaree's online writings suggest the group fits into a Christian apocalyptic ideology that believes the U.S. government is "in league with Satan" and "the chief agent of Satan is the Antichrist."
"In this particular reading of apocalyptic prophecy, there's a huge battle between good and evil," said Berlet, whose group studies right-wing extremists. "Powerful, political elected officials are conspiring with Satan to build a one-world government."
McQuade, the U.S. attorney, downplayed the role that religious ideology played in the group's alleged plans, saying the "most troubling" finding of their investigation into the Hutaree were the details of their alleged plot.
Prosecutors have said the militia planned to make a false 911 call, kill responding police officers and then use a bomb to kill many more at the funeral.
"What we were focused on here is their conduct, not on their religion. And what they have talked about is being very anti-government," McQuade said. "They fear this 'new world order' and they thought that it was their job to fight against government — the federal government in particular."
The group was preparing to carry out an attack sometime in April, prosecutors said, after months of paramilitary training that began in 2008 and included learning how to shoot guns and make bombs. Authorities seized guns in the raids, but would not say whether they found explosives.
McQuade declined to discuss other specifics, including how the group originally came to the attention of authorities or how agents learned about the alleged plans for an attack in April.
The Hutaree Web site does not list specific grievances against law enforcement and the government. The site features a picture of 17 people in camouflage, all holding guns, and includes videos of armed men running through the woods. Each wears a shoulder patch that bears a cross and two red spears.
McQuade wouldn't discuss those in the picture who haven't been arrested, but she said the nine people charged are "the core group" whose conduct "really crossed that line."
"There are lots of militia groups who abide by the law and exercise their rights to bear arms," she said. "Just being a member of the group is not enough to get you into trouble. Even just showing up and associating with certain people certainly isn't enough to be indicted. But when you cross that line by planning and training to kill people, then that's where you draw the line."
FBI officials see little chance the arrests will spur other anti-government extremists to launch their own attacks.
The agency issued a bulletin Tuesday to police departments saying it picked up Internet chatter among other militia groups — including some expressing sympathy for the suspects — but few signs of criminal copycats.
"The FBI assesses the likelihood of violent conflict from the remaining group members or other militia extremists as low," according to an FBI intelligence bulletin obtained by The Associated Press.
