It's the fourth quarter and the game is wearing long. Energy levels are waning, equipment is broken, but the outcome of the "contest" still hangs in the balance. A good final effort can tilt the game in your favor, and fortunately, there's plenty of time left to build on the score.
I'm not talking football but duck hunting. The 2010-2011 waterfowl season is drawing to a close, but as Yogi Berra famously said, "It ain't over till it's over." Duck season doesn't end until the sun sets on the final day. Opportunities still abound, but fourth-quarter hunters have to try harder and hunt smarter to end the season on a high note. Ducks on the wintering grounds have been pressured for the past several months. They've seen and heard it all, and they've become doubly wary of decoys and calls. This means late-season waterfowlers must hunt the best way they know how.
Here are seven tips from some of the savviest duck hunters in the country about how to make the fourth quarter of duck season a rally instead of a flop. Readers who follow their advice will be a lot more likely to end the season with a bang—or a bunch of them—instead of a bust.
When January brings deep-freeze conditions, Avery Outdoors pro-staffer Keith Allen of Scott City, Missouri, moves his duck-hunting activities to the Mississippi River. In high-water stages or low, Allen finds concentrations of both dabblers and divers on the big river, simply by launching his boat and covering water.
"Sometimes we'll find them in the willows along the banks of chutes and behind sandbars and islands," Allen says. "We'll hunt these birds from a boat-blind, setting only two- to three-dozen decoys where we jump ducks up."
Other times he likes to use layout blinds on sandbars, again where he flushes ducks. Allen and his hunting partners dig their blinds into the sand a few inches deep, and then put out several floating decoys and a few full-body decoys in front of the blinds. He also likes to use black duck decoys on the sandbars for their high visibility.
Allen's last tactic—to hunt ducks resting in the slack water behind wing dikes—works especially well when the river level is low. "When we flush some ducks, we'll throw out our decoys where the birds were sitting, and take the boat around to the other side of the wing dike and park it," he explains. "Then we walk over and hunt from the rocks, waiting for the ducks to return to their resting spot."
Allen and his hunting partners always use a dog, so they don't have to get the boat every time they drop a duck on the water.
Ryan Crew of Pinson, Alabama, recently won his state's duck calling championship. He's also a Hunter's Specialties pro-staffer and is avid about hunting ducks in Alabama and eastern Arkansas.
When it comes to calling late-season ducks, Crew says location and moderation are the keys to success. "Find where ducks want to go, set up there, and call only as much as you need to keep their attention. Don't call when they're flying toward you—they're already doing what you want. I'll usually call a little on the corners or when they fly over and have gone downwind 60 to 70 yards. That's when I may give a little comeback call to turn them. Then I'll get quiet again."
In the late season, many ducks will circle and circle, looking for the source of the calling. "They'll pick you out if you call when they can get a good look, so wait to call until they're going away from you or until they're looking into the sun," Crew advises.
And don't blow a feed call "to fill dead time." Crew says a hunter does not have to make "duck noise" constantly, especially late in the year. "I think you're better off using a soft call and making a few natural sounds and almost letting the ducks work themselves instead of trying to force the action."
Shane Wells of Rochester, Kentucky, hunts over four acres of flooded corn in the Green River bottoms of this state's west-central region. In years past, Wells and his partners typically did well until freeze-up. Then they would struggle, breaking ice and battling to keep their hole open and natural looking.
Not any longer.
Today Wells runs two Ice Eaters, large underwater fans that circulate water so ice can't form. He powers these machines with a 3,000-watt generator set at a remote location and connected to the Ice Eaters via a long underwater power cable.
"We place two Ice Eaters about 10 yards apart and facing in opposite directions," Wells explains. "With these units we can keep a hole open that's some 50 yards long by 20 yards wide, even on the coldest nights. This gives us extra days to hunt when we wouldn't have been able to do so otherwise. And when ducks fly over and see that open water, a lot of them will fall right in."
Another benefit from the Ice Eaters: the current they create keeps decoys moving naturally in calm, windless conditions.
Mario Friendy of Sherwood, Oregon, is the western regional manager of the Mossy Oak pro staff. An avid waterfowler, he mainly targets puddle ducks in shallow potholes in the lower Columbia River basin.
When it comes to decoys, Friendy says there are three dynamics that come into play in the late season: "One, the ducks are in full plumage. Two, they're paired up for mating. And three, they've been called to and shot at so much they've become spooky. What worked in the early season won't usually work in the latter days."
At the start of the season Friendy sets aside five new decoys: a mallard drake and hen, two pintail drakes, and a spoonbill drake. To keep them as fresh-looking as possible he doesn't take them out until the late season. Then, when the birds start getting spooky, he swaps his weathered decoys for these "fresh five," which are bright and natural looking. If he's hunting a pothole, he'll set the two mallards to his left, the two pintails to his right, and the spoonbill drake to his far right, by itself. Front and center of the pothole is left wide open for the ducks to land. "By this time of the season, the ducks just like to land by themselves," he explains.
Using what he calls a "stealth approach," Friendy hunts from layout blinds or boats that are fully grassed. For the most part he blows mallard drake and pintail whistles and waits patiently for as long as ducks want to circle.

Hi all,
Just switched on my PS3 and it's not seeing the server. Everything was working fine yesterday, but I started with the PS3 *on* and when I started PSM it recognised the PS3 straight away. Today it's the other way round, PSM is sat there running, but it doesn't seem to be aware that my PS3 has now started.
I had similar issue when I first started with TVersity, but eventually the problem seemed to fix itself and the server was always there when I switched the PS3 on.
My setup is Win 2008, and I have PSM running as a service. Any help appreciated! Thanks.

Whitney Houston's 20-year-old daughter secretly got married to the man her mother informally adopted when he was 12, according to Us Weekly.
This should last.
Bobbi Kristina Brown tweeted Thursday she and Nick Gordon are "happily married." The daughter of the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown posted a photo of the couple's wedding rings.
"@nickgordon! #HappilyMarried," she captioned the photo. "SO #Inlove. If you didn't get it the first time that is." The picture shows Brown's hand resting on top of Gordon's hand, with their weddings bands on display.
Brown and Gordon announced their engagement in October 2012 during their short-lived reality show "The Houstons: On Our Own." The two reportedly called it off a month later, after Houston's family made it clear they didn't approve of the relationship. Gordon lived with Houston and her family throughout his teen years.
Brown announced in July 2013 they were engaged again. "Yes, me and Nick are engaged," she wrote on Facebook. "I'm tired of hearing people say, 'Eww you're engaged to your brother' or 'If Whitney was still alive, would we be together or would she approve of this? Let me clear up something, we aren't even real brother and sister, nor is he my adoptive brother. My mom never adopted him. In fact, mommy was the one who even said that she knew that we were going to start dating."
This is weird.
Bobbi Kristina also hinted on Twitter on Thursday she'll have other news soon. "BIGGGG things in store guys . . . I'm so excited!" she wrote. "We bouta change the world babbbbby! #bringEmOut! #Getready! xO!"
Yes, they will most certainly change the world.

I want to inform the TDPRD board members that I am categorically opposed to the sale of the Veterans Hall to the Tahoe Forest Church to any other entity unless that entity be a nonprofit organization of U.S. military veterans.
This proposal to re-purpose the hall is an absolute slap in the face to those of us who have served in our nation's armed forces as well as the survivors of those who died in service to our country. I am also opposed to the town's proposed Use Permit/Right-of-Way Abandonment for the Tahoe Forest Church to acquire this property.
The town is complicit in this insult in that its "courtesy notice" is titled referencing the Tahoe Forest Church, thus obfuscating the fact it involves the vets hall. I am a Truckee resident of 35 years standing, a registered voter, a Truckee homeowner and property taxpayer.
Has anyone on the Town of Truckee's or Park and Rec's legal staffs looked into the Covenants, Conditions and Restriction that attach to this property? As I understand it this property and building were originally funded specifically for a veterans hall and veterans usage and I suspect there might be some deeded restrictions.
I close this missive with an assurance that I will vote against any member of the Truckee Donner Parks and Recreation District and Town of Truckee Council member who votes to allow this affront to proceed to completion.

Incline's baseball team began Mount Rose League play with a pair of losses at Sparks this past Saturday, 8-0 and heartbreaker, 6-4, in extra innings.
The Highlanders (3-3) fell victim to Sparks starter Keiffer Putman in Game 1, as Putman limited Incline to just three hits while striking out nine in a complete-game shutout effort.
Jack Clouthier hit a double, while Cam Powell and Tommy Dolan had a single apiece.
Powell, who started on the mound, ran into trouble in the third when the Railroaders (4-1) scored six runs to take a 7-0 lead. He allowed seven hits and six walks while striking out four. Kyle Clouthier threw two scoreless innings in relief, giving up only two hits.
The Highlanders battled back in the second game only to lose on a two-run, walk-off home run off the bat of senior James McCarty in the bottom of the eighth inning.
After Sparks took a 1-0 lead off of Dolan in the bottom of the first, Incline answered with a run in the second and three more in the third to take a 4-1 lead. But Sparks scored two in the bottom half of the inning and once more in the fifth to knot the score at 4-4.
The Highlanders had a golden opportunity in the top of the eighth when they loaded the bases, but Sparks starter Jared Longland managed to get out of the jam unscathed to set up his team for the win.
Dolan threw seven innings before Kyle Clouthier relieved him in the eighth and was tagged with the loss. Dolan, who gave up three hits and six walks while recording eight strikeouts, helped his cause by hitting his third home run of the season in the first inning.
Davis Bedient had two hits and an RBI, Tommy Thompson had two hits, and Chip Bouchard had a hit and an RBI. Powell, Kyle Clouthier and Andrew Carlson each had one hit for the Highlanders.
Longland pitched all eight innings for Sparks, striking out 14 Highlanders along the way.

Well, I have to be honest here. I have been dreading writing this post. Only because I knew it would be my last one, as a "who wants to get active" challenge participant. The race was over 10 days ago if that gives you any idea on how much I've been procrastinating!
So..... here it goes.
Race day. April 18th. Chicago. 36 degrees. COLD!!!!!
Ok, I have to pause and think a little bit about what I want to say. I had so many emotions going through my head that morning.
Well, I made the necessary changes after my practice run. I actually purchased myself a pair of decen running pants, it had an elastic waist band, AND a drawstring. They were NOT going to fall off!. I was excited that my new pants were two sizes smaller than the old yoga pants that I had been training in. They were really awesome, so kind of dry-wick fabric, with "reflectors" near the calf, and even a zippered pocked on the back side to hold stuff.
We pulled in the parking lot early, like around 8:30, even though the race didn't start until 10. I wanted to make sure I wasn't going tobe late and "miss it", and I didn't know how long the packet pick up line was going to be.
It was such a "NO STRESS" atmosphere, I don't know what I had been worried about! Lots of happing smiling people milling around.
I got my number,( # 528) and my 'free race day t-shirt". I snapped a couple of photos of the grounds. Lots of tents set up, with different "vendors", like local Chicago radio stations, a cell phone company, etc.
Right in the middle of the park, there was a HUGE table set up with bananas and apples, and lots of tables with cups of water. There was a giant stage they were setting up, for the post race concert. Lots of media tents, and lots of porta-potties!!
I did my carb loading in the car at 8 a.m., so that it was 2 hours pre-race time. I opted for 1/2 of a bagel, and some strawberries. It was a chilly morning, so I had dressed with my running pants, with another pair of baggy sweat pants over the top. Then of course the running sports bra, the running shirt I bought with the I -pod pocket, and topped it off with a warm sweatshirt. Then when I got my race day "RUN FOR WATER" t shirt, I put that on over the top, and pinned my number on the back of my shirt. I asked if it mattered where we pinned it, and the general response was as long as it was on, it didn't matter where you pinned it. Ok, I was good with that.
When I registered for the run, I had two options. The timed chip run, or the fun walk/run. Since I was on Team Walk it off, and had been primarily training at the walk. at the time of registration, I decided I better not "bite off more than I can chew", and opted to select the walk/run. When it was time to line up for the race, all the folks who were in the "timed chip" race got to line up first, and they all had these orange tags tied to their shoes. All of us "fun run" folks lined up at the back. When the race began, it seemed like "FOREVER" before I got to actually cross the start line, because I had to wait for all the "official race" participants to go first. Now I have a better understanding of why they had the chips. Time didn't start for them until they actually stepped over the start line. It was a good 30 seconds before I was able to actually start. So I should deduct that from my finish time (ha ha)
Well we were all crammed together, shoulder to shoulder. Folks of all different ages, shapes and sizes. The young and the old. Bridal parties! One girl wearing a "I'm the bride" t-shirt, and 4 or 5 others girls wearing "I'm a bridesmaid" shirts. Even a mom pushing two kids in a double stroller. The youngest person I saw looked around the age of 8. I secretly hoped I wasn't going to be the last one across the finish line, and wished that I would be able to "pass" SOMEBODY!!
Well, off we went. You kinda get moved along with the crowd, and at the crowds pace. Everyone jockeying for position. Someone stepped on the back of my heel. I stepped on the back of someone else's heel.
Oops, just cut someone off because they were too slow. Yes, I realized at this time.... I was jogging, not walking! OK, lets see how long I can keep this up! I'll try to get to the one mile marker without stopping.
Jogging, jogging, jogging. Lots of "police" or "people in authority" roles wearing orange vest holding stop signs, trying to keep the anxious cars back. We are running along Lake Shore Drive. I'm so overwhelmed. The route had not been "closed off" for race day, so people are coming at me on their bikes, couples walking holding hands. HELLO!!! Do you NOT see that we are in the middle of a race here??!!! Could you please get off the road, and in the grass, and out of my way??
I was glad that I wasn't wearing the I-POD. The thing had died in the car, apparently you have to charge them up once in a while! Good thing to know for next time. There was so much going on. Cars honking, runners talking. "On your left!" yea, yea, go ahead and pass me. I know I'm slow.
Hey, where was that 1 mile marker? Shouldn't I be seeing it by now? How long have I been running? Oops, forgot to wear the pedometer. Don't have on my watch. Seems like I've been running for at least 20 minutes. Maybe they were wrong when they said they were going to have water stops, and time clocks at the mile markers. Oh well, I just kept going. Getting tired.Having a hard time breathing. Wait! What's that in the distance? Something glowing! Hey, its the time clock! So I must be close to the one mile marker!! Wait that means I haven't even run a mile yet??? But I AM DEAD!!! AAHHHHH!!!! Keep pushing. Get to the one mile, and then go ahead and walk. Why am I so tired? Ok, there is the clock. It probably says 20 minutes or so. WHAT!!!!! It says 11:24 , Did I read that correctly???? 11:24 ???? I've NEVER run a mile in under 13 minutes. THAT'S WHY I AM SO TIRED !!!! I am going too fast!!, I am not used to this pace! I am trying to keep up with the "fun runners", and they are too fast for me. I've shave a minute and a half off my "normal time". Hey wait a minute. If I keep pushing, then I am going to make my goal of finishing in under 60 minutes!!! This is it. This is what you trained for. Isn't the old saying something like "no pain no gain!". DON'T WALK NOW!! Just keep pushing yourself.
I kept pressing on. And on. Finally made it to the 2 mile marker. 23:24. WOW. That means I just ran the second mile in twelve minutes! I am so psyched. But I am about to hyperventilate. An d the weird thing. ? My legs were not tired. My arms were not tired. It was just my breathing! I was out of shape cardio-vascularly. I couldn't go on any further. I needed to walk. I had to walk. I did walk. I walked.
At first I was upset with myself. I can't believe I'm walking. Then some of Coach Jenny's words came in to my head. Hey, you are here to celebrate what you have accomplished for the past 8 weeks.
I've lost 16 pounds. I've dropped two sizes. I'm down 4 inches off my waist, and no longer have the "muffin top". I took two inches off my hips. I've dropped 4 points off my body mass. So what reason did I think I had at all, to be pissed off at myself that I was walking. NONE! I had nothing to prove to anyone. I walked for a couple of minutes, until I was able to breathe again and said to myself, ok, lets do this. Lets finish this up.
I began running again. Run, Run, Run. I got passed up by the lady pushing the two kids in the double stroller. I don't care. I have nothing to prove. I didn't come here to win the race. I came here to FINISH the race.
Just finish. Do your best. This race is all about me, and not about anybody else. This was my dream, my goal. Finish the race Kim, just finish the race. I slowly approached the 3 mile marker. 36 minutes something seconds. Wait, WHAT!!! 36 minutes something???? Why, I CAN FINISH THIS IN UNDER 45 MINUTES IF I REALLY PUSH FOR THE LAST 7/10th of the mile.
Dig down deep. Muster up any last bit of strength and determination and true grit, and what ever else and give it all you got.You've got 9 minutes to go the last 7/10ths of the mile. Yes, that's it. Look out over the Lake. It's beautiful and serene. Don't worry about the sand all over the path. Keep going. Don't let the sand slow you down. Keep going. Wait! There is a big tent! That must be the finish! There it is GO KIM GO!!! Closer.... Closer!!! What the?????? Its not the finish! Its a bicycle rental shop! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Push on, don't get upset by the "false" finish line.
No one is around me. Everyone must have already finished. I truly must be the last one out here on the course. So what If I am.
Around the turn, around another bend. Wait! More Tents!! This time, lots of them. Music playing. People Cheering! Yes, this time, it is the finish! Keep going. There's' my husband taking pictures. There's my daughter yelling GO MOM! Look at the clock!!!!! PUSH, PUSH!!! Yes, across the line! UNBELIEVABLE!!! The time on the clock was 44:06. I can't believe it 44:06 ! I had done it! Not only had I finished in under my goal time of 60 minutes, but I finished in under 45 minutes! I was so thrilled! I wanted to collapse. My daughter was right there. Good Job MOM! Don't sit down.! Keep walking! All good advice. I was in this euphoric state. I felt so good! I was so happy to have finished in that unbelievable time . FOR ME! Couch potato to 6 k in 44:06 in 8 weeks! I had done it. I HAD DONE IT!!!
Me in front of the concert stage (90 minutes before the race) Not too many people there yet.....
After catching my breath, and reveling the the fact that I thought I had done so well, I walked back over to the finish line. More people were still crossing the line. I had not been last. Lots of people were behind me . They kept trickling in for another 15 minutes or so. All the "true" walkers. Wow! Now I wished I had done the timed chip race! Now I was feeling empowered! Lets line it up and DO IT AGAIN!!! The media crews were there. The concerts were about to start. A man went on stage." Attention, Attention! We need number 258 up on stage" Oh Gosh! I think that's me? Isn't that my number? What are they calling me up on stage for? Do they want an interview? Do they know I'm an "ACTIVE.COM participant? Do they want to ask me about my training, and get my thoughts on the race? I look around for someone near me. "HEY" Can you check my number? (I had pinned it to my back!), Yeah,um, you are number 528. YES! So it IS ME that they want. Again, the announcer says, "Can we get number 258 up here please? " oops, I'm 528, not 258!!! What an idiot I am.
258 gets on the stage. Its the winner of the race. They are giving her a medal or something. They announce her time.She finished in 22 minutes something. She was already finished before I even hit the two mile marker!!! Well you know what!! SO WHAT!!
I had to remember, I wasn't racing against anyone. I needed to stop comparing. I had finished the race. That's what I came to do. FINISH. And I did. IT WAS GLORIOUS!
The "blues" set it on Monday. Just like the big "let down" after Christmas. One day post race, and I already missed getting my email that said "today you are going to walk for 30 minutes at a RPE of 7-8. I missed knowing that I was going to blog about it. I missed everything. I missed my team mates that I never met! It took me several days to get out of my depressed state. I figured I needed to get back to walking, and get another race on the calendar. I'm eyeing something called a "Warrior Dash" that is coming up in June. I'm out of my post race blues, and am back to walking/running every day but Thursday and Sunday, just like before. But now I know I need to work on getting my cardio better. Lesson learned.
I jus want to finish my saying, to everyone at Active.com, to Michelle, to Coach Jenny, to my walk it off team mates Ruth, Jason and Megan, Thank you so much for your encouragement, your support. You mean more to me than you can ever know. Thank you for this opportunity.
Until the next race.................
This is Kim, signing off. Remember to always WALK IN THE LIGHT. GOD'S LIGHT!

- Awesome MagsThese mags are great - I've had them for a long time and they haven't broken yet. I don't think they will; they're very sturdy. The capacity is a little low, but as long as you shoot sparingly and have four or six mags, you'll do fine.
- Size mattersthe size of these mags are bad, but they give you two which is good. considering these are for a shot gun too, the size is ok. I just wish they made them at 20 rounds instead of 14
- greatI bought the shotgun that the magazines go to, and it's great. The only bad part is they hold only 14 bbs. So I bought 6 extras.
Lasts a long time
Holds 14 bbs
- great mags for backyardmine didn't feed too well, so i wouldn't use them in a competition.
- magi have the exact type of this mag and when i go to load it up i can only put 8 rds into it because if i put more i have to turn the gun up side down.

Yarn Profile: Schoolhouse Press Unspun Icelandic
First Impressions
Meg shipped a bunch of samples home to her mother, Elizabeth Zimmermann, who fell equally head over heels. She promptly contacted the mill in Iceland and became the U.S. distributor for this unusual yarn. Some 50 years later, Schoolhouse Press is still the place to go for Un-Spun Icelandic.
That's the history part. What's this like to knit, and why on earth would you want to use a yarn that hasn't been spun? Won't it fall apart in your hands? Most people think so, but you'll be surprised.
Knitting Up
Your hands may need a few rows to adjust to the yarn's lack of twist. What's remarkable is that the yarn really does hold together far better than you'd expect. While most modern sheep have been bred to grow as uniform a fleece as possible, the Icelandic sheep still grows the same dual-coated fleece it did when the Viking settlers arrived on the island nearly 1000 years ago. Two distinct fibers—the short crimpy undercoat fibers called "thel" and longer outercoat fibers called "tog"—team up to create a lofty yet durable yarn.
Should a break happen, though, take comfort in the fact that Icelandic wool is a superb felter. Simply overlap new yarn over your working yarn at the point of break, moisten both ends slightly, and rub them together vigorously in the palm of your hands. The heat and agitation will cause the fibers to felt together, reattaching your yarn without so much as a lump.
The yarn behaved equally well on blunt-tipped bamboo needles and pointy-tipped Signature Stilettos. Even on the sharper tips, the yarn didn't snag.
Knitting that single strand was easy and pleasant enough, but my hands soon grew antsy. I grabbed the end from the center of the plate, held it along with the end from the outside, and worked the two together. Immediately the fabric plumped up and became far more spongy while still retaining the hardy nuance of Icelandic wool. The added volume made my stitches rounder and gave them better definition, especially with ribbing.
If I'd had more yarn to work with, I would've played with holding three, four, or even more strands together. Another thing you can do is strand different colors together to create your own nuanced blends. Un-Spun Icelandic comes in 19 natural and dyed colors. The possible combinations are almost limitless.
Blocking / Washing
The wash evened out all the wobbly spots in my stitches, leaving a smooth and beautiful piece of cohesive fabric. The warm water caused the crimpy thel to relax, giving my swatches an invitingly fuzzy finish. (Unwashed far left, washed at right.)
While I still wouldn't use Un-Spun Icelandic for a high-abrasion garment like, say, socks, I can tell you that my two-stranded swatch would not pill. Period.
From a touch perspective, Un-Spun Icelandic has the same fundamental qualities as other Icelandic wool yarns—namely, it's a little crunchy. Tis the nature of the beast. But by virtue of having no twist to harden the fibers, they're as soft as they can possibly be.
Of all the mainstream Icelandic wool options available to us, Un-Spun Icelandic may be the least-known yet most worthwhile. Not only is the fabric lofty, warm, and well-wearing, but the experience of working with the fibers will teach you something.
Give it a try, won't you?

Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs once called the humongous campus a spaceship. So you might think the forthcoming circle-shaped Cupertino headquarters would carry a grandiose name befitting a potential signature Silicon Valley landmark.
But nope, just call it plain old Apple Campus 2.
The company's first project blueprints, released before the plan's inaugural hearing Thursday, show Apple has christened its second home base the same way it would brand a new version of its iProducts.
"I think it makes sense to call it Apple 2," Mayor Gilbert Wong said Wednesday. "They have iPad 1 and iPad 2; iPhone 1 and iPhone 2. This building is probably going to have much more innovative technologies and products than what they have at" their first campus, also in Cupertino.
And just like a new gadget, the company may not be done upgrading. Wong said Apple executives have told him the company is expanding so fast that it expects to start working on Apple Campus 3 at an unknown location after they finish the second headquarters in 2015. An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment on plans for a third campus.
Apple's planning documents filed with the city show its new office is now expected to be busier than first thought. The 176-acre campus is set to house up to 13,000 employees, or 1,000 more than Jobs first suggested when he publicly unveiled the plans in June.
And, if that isn't enough, it may even come with a sculpture of Jobs himself, as some city officials have suggested, to honor his contributions as the iconic leader of Cupertino's biggest taxpayer and cache-maker.
In documents filed with the city, Apple described the campus in glowing language.
"Create a distinctive and inspiring 21st Century workplace," it says, a "serene and secure environment reflecting Apple's values of innovation, ease of use, and beauty."
The circular design, it says, is in part to "respect Apple's security needs (in part through perimeter protection)."
At Thursday's meeting, city officials will for the first time ask residents what issues should be examined as part of a lengthy study of the project's effects. Extra traffic and parked vehicles are expected to be the biggest worries of residents in Cupertino, as well as neighboring Santa Clara and Sunnyvale.
It's the start of an extensive planning process that is projected to end with approval of the project in late 2012, and the start of construction in 2013. Apple is asking the city for 13 different approvals, including permission to remove trees, buy a street that cuts through the property so it can demolish it, and change zoning restrictions that require a section of the site at Homestead and Wolfe roads to be parks-only.
Jobs in November privately pitched the plans to Wong and Councilwoman Kris Wang, and city officials are clearly on board.
"Even though (Jobs') health is not really fantastic, his mind is crystal clear," Wong said. "He had a strong vision for what he wants to leave as a legacy for his company."
Apple said in its filing that it has hired two local consultants -- Kier & Wright planners, of Santa Clara, and Arup engineers in San Francisco -- to team with its infamous London-based architect, Foster + Partners.
The documents show a 2.8 million-square-foot circular building that will reach 57 feet high at its peak. Interestingly, Wong said it appears from the plans that all offices in the main building will be the same size, even for executives.
Also in the plans: A 25,000-square-foot corporate fitness center, a 1,000-seat auditorium, a self-proclaimed "striking café" and 10,500 parking spots. In addition to the main building, there will be five smaller plots of land hosting research buildings and an energy plant.
Cupertino city officials will hold a hearing on the Apple Campus 2 project from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday at Cupertino Community Hall, 103500 Torre Ave. A live broadcast will stream at cupertino.org/webcast.

SANTA CLARA -- Kyle Williams, the 49ers' valuable return man, won't be coming back this season.
Williams announced via Twitter on Monday that he sustained a season-ending left knee injury against the New Orleans Saints.
"Regret to inform y'all I will be out for the season with a torn ACL," he wrote. "Not how I saw things playing out, but in the end I will be fine."
Williams crumpled to the ground after a 2-yard run by Kendall Hunter near the end of the third quarter. On that same play, Hunter also suffered a potentially serious ankle injury.
Coach Jim Harbaugh declined to get into specific injuries Monday, saying that players were still being evaluated, but he acknowledged the possibility that the 49ers' top two draft picks might finally hit the field.
Receiver A.J. Jenkins (first-round pick) and running back LaMichael James (second round) have yet to play this season.
Asked about the outlook for Jenkins and James, Harbaugh said: "There's a good chance there'll be some new active guys on Sunday. ... To both those youngsters' credit, and others who have been working extremely hard for their opportunity, we feel good and excited that a couple of those youngsters will get that opportunity."
Williams, 24, led the 49ers this season with a 27.2-yard average on his 13 kickoff returns. As the team's No. 3 receiver, he also had 14 catches for 212 yards.
On Twitter, Williams thanked fans for their outpouring of support
"This is just another obstacle. I will have to climb back," he wrote. "Love all true fans. Your prayers are much appreciated."
Walker walked out of the locker room after the game but then was placed on a cart that took him to the team bus.

Phyllis 's Biography
Cause of Choice: Eagle Forum
Double Duty: She wrote many of her early books after 10pm, when her six children were asleep.
Three Attributes to Describe Herself: Hard-working, cheerful, and risk-taking
Advice for Debating: "Stay on message, be sure of your facts, don't engage in epithet argument...in other words, be a lady."
Phyllis Schlafly was 28 years old when she ran a 1952 long-shot Congressional campaign in Illinois' 24th district. Though she failed to win the seat, the effort announced her arrival in the emerging conservative movement. By 1964, the mother of six had self-published the best-selling A Choice Not An Echo in support of Barry Goldwater's presidential candidacy. The book remains a crucial text of conservative strategy and self-definition. She founded the "pro-family" Eagle Forum in 1972 and spent much of the decade fighting—and ultimately defeating—ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, against all foreseeable odds. Even feminists who rued her victory, couldn't deny her monumental impact and game-changing grassroots activism. With her Stop ERA campaign, Schlafly built and mobilized the socially conservative, "pro-family," religious coalition that swept Ronald Reagan to office and remains a dominant force in Republican politics.
Schlafly is the author of 21 books and at age 87 continues to produce a weekly column and daily radio commentary. In 2008, her alma mater, Washington University in St. Louis, granted her an honorary degree for having "sparked widespread debate and controversies that in many cases have helped people better formulate and articulate their own views about the values they hold."

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks' next-to-last playoff tuneup had a postseason feel, as San Jose got Marty Havlat's first hat trick in almost a decade and solid goaltending from Alex Stalock to earn a physical 5-1 win over Colorado on Friday in the Sharks' last home game of the regular season.
Dan Boyle and Patrick Marleau also scored for the Sharks on a night that featured the return of rookie forward Tomas Hertl, who played in his first game in almost four months after he was medically cleared to return to action earlier in the day.
But Havlat stole the show. One game after he was a healthy scratch against the Anaheim Ducks, Havlat, on a line with Patrick Marleau and Logan Couture, scored a natural hat trick in the third period.
It was Havlat's first hat trick since November 2005 when he played with Ottawa -- a span of 3,083 days.
"He responded well, and not just the goals," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "It was the way he carried himself on the ice, the way he competed nose over the puck and battled. I thought that line was our best line tonight, and he was a big part of it."
Havlat's first goal was a redirection off a shot by Couture, the second came on his own rebound on a breakaway, and the third was an empty-netter with 4:56 left.
"It doesn't matter who scored the goals tonight," Havlat said. "We didn't have to win tonight. We didn't want to lose, for sure, but it's about how we end up the regular season. Now we get ready for the real season."
Havlat's third-period outburst provided more than enough support for Stalock, who finished with 32 saves to up his season record to 12-5-2.
Naturally, McLellan was asked if Stalock made a statement with his play to start the Sharks' playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings next week.
"Well he didn't make a statement tonight -- he's made it all year. Tonight he just added to it," McLellan said. "He made some very good saves."
Hertl, who had knee surgery Dec. 31, didn't figure in the scoring but generally looked comfortable as he skated on a third line with James Sheppard and Tommy Wingels.
Hertl's best scoring opportunity came early in the third period. He took control of the puck and made his way to the front of the Avalanche net, but his shot went off the post and out of play.
Hertl had 15:00 of ice time on 19 shifts, but the biggest thing for the Sharks was that he came out of the game still feeling physically healthy.
Asked how he felt on the ice, Hertl said "not good" but added that the knee held up fine.
"I am happy with any chance. Now it's not much matter scoring," Hertl said. "Playoff time it's more important, because it's L.A. I not much like L.A. this season."
Hertl suffered his injury Dec. 19 on a knee-on-knee hit from Kings captain Dustin Brown.
Defenseman Scott Hannan took a high hit from Avalanche winger Patrick Bordeleau in the first period and did not return. McLellan said after the game that Hannan would not make the trip to Phoenix for Saturday's game.

I had a large, 5 pound package of chicken thighs in the freezer, though unfortunately they were the kind frozen into one big blob and not individually so I pretty much had to thaw and bake the whole package. Whatever isn't eaten up in leftovers will be deboned and frozen to use in casseroles or maybe some chicken salad.
This recipe was inspired by one I saw in Martha Stewart's Everyday Food magazine for October, though I've made quite a few changes with both ingredients and methodology. I only wanted potatoes since we were having a side salad with dinner, but you could certainly add to or change out vegetables to what you prefer. I loved the balsamic vinegar here with the chicken. It adds a rich tone, just slightly sweet. If you don't have balsamic on hand, try apple cider instead.
If you don't have a full 5 pounds of chicken, just use one whole chicken cut up, about 2 to 2-1/2 pounds, reduce the potatoes to 1 pound and the balsamic to 2 tablespoons. Enjoy!
Roasted Balsamic Chicken Thighs
From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
5 pounds of chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup of olive oil
3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
Juice of one lemon
8 cloves of garlic, smashed
2 onions, cut into wedges
1-1/2 pounds of potatoes, unpeeled & cut into chunks
Several sprigs of fresh thyme
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Drizzle a bit of olive oil into the bottom of a large roaster or baking pan and add chicken. Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt & pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon & garlic. Add the onion and potatoes and toss. Pour over the chicken. Strip thyme off of a couple of springs & sprinkle on the top; add remaining sprigs to the roaster. Bake at 450 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes or until juices run clear and potatoes are tender. Spoon a bit of the pan juices on top of the chicken before serving.
Note: If you don't have a full 5 pounds of chicken, just use one whole chicken cut up, about 2 to 2-1/2 pounds, reduce the potatoes to 1 pound and the balsamic to 2 tablespoons.

Shot Oheka Castle Owner, Gary Melius, Speaks Out
UPDATED | The owner of Suffolk County's Oheka Castle, who was shot by a masked assailant in February, spoke about the incident for the first time Monday.
In a video produced by his family, Gary Melius said he was now "healing" and "looking forward to starting over again."
Mr. Melius was ambushed in the castle's parking lot and shot at three times through the window of his Mercedes-Benz on February 24.
One bullet misfired while another struck the 69-year-old businessman in the head. He underwent surgery and was released from North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset on March 4. There have been no arrests.
Mr. Melius appeared in the video with a medical shield over his left eye and a bandage on the left side of his skull. He said he couldn't explain how he lived through the attack.
"I got a break. I guess God looked out for me, he's always looked out for me," Mr. Melius said.
Appearing in good spirits, he paid tribute to his "super supportive" family and joked that he had shed a few pounds while in the hospital.
"The good part is I lost some weight, which I needed," he said. "My family has bathed me, nursed me, supported me. There is nothing that they haven't done for me.
"Everybody has just been wonderful and I just want everybody to know, mainly just for my friends to know, everything is OK."
Describing his 2½ weeks in hospital, Mr. Melius said he was lucid during the experience and at times "broke down" upon seeing the waves of support from friends.
Mr. Melius owns and lives in Oheka Castle, which serves as a hotel and event space that seen celebrity weddings. Former U.S. Rep.Anthony Weinerwas married his wife there, with former President Bill Clinton officiating.
Mr. Melius is also a political donor to all parties and holds regular poker nights with businessmen, law-enforcement officials and politicians at his home.
Despite the incident, Mr. Melius said Oheka remained "alive and well" in his absence and he was now doing anything possible to keep busy and bring a sense of normalcy back to his life.
"I definitely need to do something. I'm torturing myself. I'm putting the garbage out, I do everything I can, but it's tough," he said.
Suffolk County investigators have security camera footage showing a gunman and getaway driver surveilling the parking lot for 2½ hours before firing at Mr. Melius.
Police are investigating Mr. Melius's personal and financial connections, said Suffolk County Police Department Det. Sgt. John O'Sullivan.
"Since this crime is an active ongoing investigation the Suffolk County Police Department will not be making any further comments at this time unless we have some additional information pertaining to the investigation that serves the investigation by its release," a spokeswoman said.
The Wall Street Journal profiled Mr. Melius after the shooting:
For more than a decade, Oheka Castle has been the scene of an eight-man poker game on Monday nights. The regular crew includes a former U.S. senator, a local Democratic Party lawyer and a host of power brokers from Long Island's political and real-estate worlds.
Some Fridays are steak-and-cigar night, a sought-after invite bringing together politicians and police officials from Suffolk and Nassau counties.
The gatherings are made possible by the connections of the castle's owner, Gary Melius, who was shot in the head Monday in the castle's parking lot by a masked gunman who police said staked out his victim for 21/2 hours. He is expected to survive. There have been no arrests.
The shooting jolted Mr. Melius and his wife and four children. It also left people questioning who sought to hurt a man who friends, business associates, records—and even adversaries—describe as blunt, tenacious, willing to take risks for a grand vision, a New York success story complete with impressive highlights and significant low points.

- Jun 20:
- Oracle founder Larry Ellison buys 98 percent of Hawaii's Lanai
The 3,200 people living on the rural Hawaiian island that's being purchased by billionaire Oracle Corp. (ORCL) CEO Larry Ellison have a laundry list of what they would like to see him provide.
Working-class residents on Lanai want stable jobs. Affordable housing. No onerous restrictions on hunting or fishing. A return to agriculture. Improved transportation to Maui, Oahu and other islands, given the Lanai airport's limited flight offerings. Even simple things such as the reopening of the community pool.
They hope he's willing to sit down, listen to their concerns and be sensitive to the unique culture of Hawaii.
But on Lanai, an island paradise unscathed by such urban annoyances as traffic lights, residents' lives are largely dependent on whoever owns 98 percent of the island's 141 square miles. Without tourism, the economic engine that's driven the island under its previous billionaire owner, the "pineapple island" doesn't have much.
"It's not an island with a lot of resources and the kind of infrastructure you need," says Bill Medeiros, who is assigned to oversee Lanai as executive assistant to the mayor of Maui County, of which Lanai is part. "At one time, almost the whole island was pineapple."
Lanai residents are fully aware, Medeiros says, that their wants ultimately have little bearing on the reality of living on an island whose future rests with the whims of an owner with deep pockets willing to bear a financial loss.
That owner soon will be Ellison, an adventurous billionaire who needs the island a whole lot less than the people of Lanai need him.
The constant fear is what happens if the owner doesn't renew leases on rented homes, closes a hotel or decides he's had enough and sells, community leaders say.
"It's always, 'What happens if he sells us? How scary,' " says Kepa Maly, executive director of the Lanai Culture & Heritage Center.
Maly said it would be nice if Ellison, known for being a visionary, can find a way for Lanai to sustain itself in a way that honors its roots. But he shouldn't expect to turn a profit.
"The history of Lanai since Western contact is littered with the graves of unsuccessful Western business interests," Maly says. "I can't believe someone buying the island today would be able to get richer off of it."
Former owner David Murdock, a billionaire who led a shift from the island's pineapple industry to luxury resort and home development, had been losing $20 million to $30 million a year, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser previously reported.
Ellison has yet to fully reveal his plans for Lanai, but his representatives have assured the state senator who represents the island that the high-tech CEO and world-renowned sailor has no plans for radical changes and will be sensitive to the culture of the island.
Still, Maly notes, the reality "is clearly someone has to earn some money. How do we do that?"
Ellison didn't become the world's sixth-richest billionaire without some shrewd business sense.
"He told me once that he's like anybody else when he spends his money on something. He doesn't want to get taken," says Mike Wilson, managing editor of the Tampa Bay Times who wrote the book "The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison: God Doesn't Think He's Larry Ellison."
But for a pet project like buying an island, "I'm sure his first concern is not that he'll lose money," Wilson says. "I don't think he's unconscious of the natural beauty of the place or anywhere else."
The island's charm means residents travel via $50 round-trip ferry ride to neighboring Maui to shop at stores such as Costco or Wal-Mart. There may be only 30 miles of paved roads, but a gallon of gasoline at the lone gas station recently was about $5.75, compared to Honolulu's average of $4.20 and the U.S. national average of $3.45. Residents supplement the food on their family's table by fishing and hunting -- mostly deer and some wild pig. There's one school and one hospital. For more than routine medical care, residents must fly to Honolulu, a 25-minute plane ride away.
Lanai's small size has led to a tight-knit community, built as a walking community around Lanai City's park, where residents strive for a simple life.
"For an island that may have been host to many well-known people, it's still an island that allows a lot of courtesy and privacy," said Sol Kahoohalahala, a seventh-generation Lanaian.
As the deal was closing, Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa pondered how Ellison might "completely alter the economic structure of the island."
Playing off Ellison's high-tech prowess, Maly offers an idea: "Software development. How about Lanai becoming engaged in computer sciences?"

Product's Review
size Review by Wine-Oh
I was dissappointed it would not hold two 1.5 L bottles. In reading your posted demintions it appeared to be large enough but of course it was not. This was given as a gift, had it been for me I would have returned. I feel the demintions are missleading and it would be better to say what the capicity is as to size bottle. Other than that it is nice. (Posted on 6/19/2012)

Lovely terminal application. Check out Blurminal if you want to make it even prettier. I'd love to see Chrome-style tabs, see e.g. http://johnwickerson.wordpress.com/2011/02/12/chrome-style-tabs-for/
does anyone know if there's a way of automatically opening directories when the app stars?
Is an excellent terminal emulator. Can be customized to great extent with the use of Blurminal(http://osx.iusethis.com/app/blurminal) and TerminalColors(http://ciaranwal.sh/2007/11/01/customising-colours-in-leopard-terminal).
switched back from iTerm as of Leopard.. thanks Apple!
Leopard's Terminal lacks 256 color support and makes certain key combinations difficult or impossible, but is otherwise superior to every other option.
Terminal 2.0 is my #1 reason to get leopard. I can't find a better term app on any other platform (linux included).
I love this app...can do anything with it!!
If you love Terminal, Visor adds the ability to have it always near but hidden. So wicked.
This app is really totally amazing. Colour scheme customisation, emulation, drag and drop, infinite buffer, unicode... With Terminal you have it all.
It's a nice terminal, really. Look once upon the hideousness that is Window's Command Prompt, and you'll see what I mean.
GO UNIX! W00t.
