It probably happened because it's so obvious it didn't need to be mentioned. OP isn't naive I'm sure. No need for "Duh, what did you expect" (paraphrase)or other remarks. thanking him for his time and efforts was really all that needed to be said.
My response was aimed solely at the "blaming" comment. It's one thing to set up such a site, but another to then complain when the copyright owner steps in and exercises their legal rights.
Yes, it's a bummer that it's gone, but its days were numbered from Day 1, and the URL might have accelerated things a bit.

National 4-H Week: A time to celebrate our roots
National 4-H Week: A time to celebrate our roots
This week, October 3 through 9, marks National 4-H Week — a week to celebrate what 4-H contributes to our family, our community, our country, and our world. At first thought, 4-H may have seemed like a social activity as a youngster and a reason to be at the fair every day. But 4-H really did yield more than summer softball games or project meetings. According to the National 4-H Council, 4-H'ers are nearly two times more likely to get better grades in school; nearly two times more likely to plan to go to college; 41 percent less likely to engage in risky behaviors; and 25 percent more likely to positively contribute to their families and communities.
Organizations like 4-H introduce youth to responsibility, hard work, and dedication at a young age. I can still remember realizing at the age of 10 that the day before the fair was not the day to finish my sewing, arts and crafts, and veterinary science project — let alone getting my heifers clean and to the fair.
Taking a straw poll around the Hoard's Dairyman office, you'll find countless 4-H alumni. Many of us will say that 4-H memories attribute to some of our favorite times as youth. Those memories come from fairs, camps, or simply a club meeting or new friend. The comradery found in 4-H is another reason for the organization's success. I always knew that a lively conversation about state fair trips was welcomed at club meetings, rather than at the lunch table at school when kids thought I was crazy for obsessing over a new heifer calf.
But we at Hoard's Dairyman are not alone in our 4-H roots. The national organization reports that the alumni roster now totals around 60 million people. That's roughly three times the size of New York City. Yet, the organization today is fueled by only 540,000 volunteers, and 3,500 staff members.
Our magazine enjoys dedicating a page in each issue to "Young Dairymen" and some of our favorite annual activities include the days when we welcome roughly 500 youth to our farm and offices during World Dairy Expo week. Take time this week to think about what you can do to help and encourage rural youth education and programing. Our industry's future depends on it.

Stocks closed lower after uneven trading Tuesday as fears about the �fiscal cliff� and Greece tipped major indexes between gains and losses. A surge in Home Depot�s stock prevented a steeper drop for the Dow Jones industrial average.
The Dow closed down closed down 58.90 points, or 0.5 percent, at 12,756.18. It would have been lower without support from Home Depot, whose stock jumped 3.6 percent after the big-box retailer beat expectations for its fiscal third-quarter earnings. Home Depot is benefiting from the gradual housing recovery and rebuilding efforts after Superstorm Sandy. Home Depot rose $2.22 to $63.38.
Stocks had opened lower after European leaders postponed the latest aid package for Greece. The Dow turned positive in the first hour of trading and rose solidly through the morning, gaining as much as 83 points. Starting around 2 p.m., the average slid steadily into the red.
Other indexes also closed lower. The Standard & Poor�s 500 index lost 5.50 points, or 0.4 percent, to 1,374.53. The Nasdaq composite index fell 20.37 points, or 0.7 percent, to 2,883.89.
Investors are trading against the backdrop of the �fiscal cliff,� a set of U.S. government spending cuts and tax increases that will take effect automatically at the beginning of next year unless U.S. leaders reach a compromise before then.
Worries about the fiscal cliff pushed U.S. stocks to one of their worst weekly losses of the year last week after voters re-elected President Barack Obama and a deeply divided Congress. Obama met Tuesday with labor leaders and others who advocate higher taxes on the wealthy and want to protect health benefits for senior citizens and other government programs. Obama will meet with business leaders Wednesday.
�The longer we sit and do nothing� about the nation�s fiscal issues, �the more this market is going to oscillate between positive 40 and negative 60, until we know what�s going to happen next with all this uncertainty,� said Craig Johnson, senior technical research strategist with Piper Jaffray & Co. in Minneapolis.

CHICAGO — Hundreds of flights are being canceled at Chicago's two airports as a deep freeze sets in on the city.
The city's Department of Aviation says airlines have canceled more than 1,600 flights at O'Hare International Airport. Another 85 were reported at Midway International Airport.
Delays at O'Hare were average about 40 minutes, while reported delays are about 20 minutes at Midway.
The National Weather Service says the temperature was 16 degrees below zero at O'Hare, although the wind chill made it feel significantly colder.
About 1,300 flights were canceled at O'Hare and Midway international airports on Sunday when nearly a foot of snow fell in the city.

Americans who choose to cohabit are no longer just young couples testing the waters before heading to the altar, an analysis of new Census data reveals.
In fact, cohabitation is much more diverse: Nearly 30 percent are divorced, nearly half are 35 and older and growing numbers are parents with children at home, according to the analysis conducted by the nonprofit Population Reference Bureau for USA Today.
As of March, when Census did a supplemental survey counting current cohabiters, 15.3 million unmarried heterosexual people were in live-in relationships 6.5 percent of all U.S. adults 18 and older. The survey did not count those who had cohabited in the past but are now married or are living alone or with family or friends.
Cohabiters are �increasingly more diverse than a decade ago,� says sociologist Andrew Cherlin of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. �The idea that young adults are dominant is really wrong. There is no stereotypical cohabiting couple anymore. The middle-class, childless, cohabiting couple represents a very small proportion of all cohabiting Americans.�
The data will be part of a Census report on families and living arrangements scheduled for release in November. Among highlights:
41 percent of cohabiting couples have kids living with them.
47 percent are 35 and older, and 13 percent are 55 and older.
21 percent have a bachelor�s degree or higher, 31 percent have some college, 35 percent have a high school diploma and 13 percent did not graduate from high school.
�People are living together for different reasons. It depends where you are in your life,� says demographer Mark Mather of the Population Reference Bureau.
For the young, cohabitation is a �prelude to marriage,� while for older adults, it�s a �long-term alternative to marriage,� says sociologist Susan Brown, co-director of the National Center for Family & Marriage Research at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Research she co-authored was published in August in the Journal of Marriage and Family.
�There has been this doubling of the proportion of older adults who are living in cohabiting relationships,� she says. �It�s grown for late middle-age and the oldest adults � a clear upward trend for both of these groups, and no signs this is going to slow down.�
Cleone Reed, 66, of Bandon, Ore., was among them � for a while, at least. She dated Bob Reed, 71, for four years, then they lived together for four years before they married in 2008.
�I�m no longer �Grandpa�s girlfriend.� I hated that,� she says.

COLUMBIA South Carolina will have to play one of the seasons most important games without one of its best players.
The Southeastern Conference on Monday suspended USC free safety D.J. Swearinger for Saturdays 3:30 p.m. home game against Missouri the result of what the league called his flagrant and dangerous hit in last Saturdays 49-6 win over Alabama-Birmingham.
The suspension is a huge loss for the seventh-ranked Gamecocks (3-0, 1-0 SEC) as they prepare for their second game against an SEC East Division opponent. Swearinger, a senior, is a third-year starter who rarely comes out of games. The Gamecocks have no other proven free safeties.
The depth chart lists his backup as senior walk-on Jared Shaw. He was impressive at times as a cornerback during spring practices, but has rarely played. On Saturday, Shaw drew a roughing-the-punter penalty on the play that preceded Swearingers hit.
Entering the preseason, the No. 2 free safety was redshirt freshman Sheldon Roy-ster, a former highly regarded recruit who was the fifth-highest rated prospect in USCs Class of 2011, according to Rivals.com. But Royster decided to transfer last month and wound up at Rutgers.
Through three games, Swearinger has 10 tackles (nine solo), an interception, three pass breakups (tied for the team lead) and a fumble recovery that he returned 65 yards for a touchdown against UAB. He is the secondarys only returning starter from last season. He and sophomore strong safety Brison Williams are both responsible for getting the defenses backfield lined up before the snap, but Swearinger is the secondarys most vocal leader.
The play for which he was suspended happened with 5:46 left in the third quarter Saturday, when Jonathan Perry threw a pass over the middle intended for Patrick Hearn, who reached up for the ball.
As the ball hit Hearns hands, Swearinger launched himself forward and made facemask-to-facemask contact with Hearn, causing a pass breakup. The hit was not late, but the helmet-to-helmet contact resulted in a 15-yard personal foul penalty. Referee Ken Williamson specified it as contact above the shoulders against a defenseless player.
USC coach Steve Spurrier said Sunday that he thought Swearingers hit was a lot similar to the hit Justice Cunningham took at Vanderbilt. That hit, in the season opener, resulted in a 15-yard personal foul but no suspension.
USC said Spurrier would not comment on the suspension Monday, but will address it today at his weekly news conference.
Later Monday, the SEC released an additional statement regarding the differences between Swearingers hit and the hit by Vanderbilt cornerback Andre Hal on Cunningham.
The statement read: On replay, although contact was made to the receivers helmet, the primary contact from the Vanderbilt defender was to the shoulder area. The Vanderbilt defender never lowers his head and the contact is made with his facemask up, looking at the South Carolina receiver. It was a foul because there was glancing contact to the receivers helmet.
In the UAB contest, based on video replays, the contact was initiated by a slight launch of the defender into the receiver and the primary contact was targeted directly into the receivers facemask.
Earlier Monday, the SEC said Swearingers hit violated the section of the NCAA rule book that reads: No player shall target and initiate contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, elbow or shoulder.
The league noted that a defenseless opponent is defined as one who, because his physical position and focus of concentration, is especially vulnerable to injury. An example the rule book gives of a defenseless opponent is a receiver whose focus is on catching a pass, the SEC said.
The NCAA is putting increased emphasis including potential suspensions on protecting defenseless players this season, as it tries to limit concussions, which are now a widely discussed issue at all levels of football.
These rules are for the protection of the health and safety of our players on both sides of the ball, SEC commissioner Mike Slive said in the suspension announcement. It is imperative that our student-athletes understand the importance of this rule. Our motivation in making these decisions is to protect our student-athletes.

MADISON, Wis. - There were two Orange Bowl scouts in the Camp Randall Stadium press box on Saturday.
They were not here to see Penn State, of course, as the Nittany Lions remain ineligible for the postseason, barring an NCAA reversal, for two more seasons.
But you can be sure they left here anticipating the Lions' return to bowl eligibility and the eventual enthusiasm from a starved Nittany Nation that by then will accompany it.
Saturday stoked those sentiments in a big way as Penn State put together its most inspirational performance in memory, controlling No. 14 Wisconsin throughout the second half, winning 31-24 and serving notice that when the NCAA cloud is lifted, this will be a program to be reckoned with once again.
"We're still building to the future," PSU junior linebacker Mike Hull said. "We're trying to get these sanctions behind us and keep the Penn State tradition rolling."
Against a Wisconsin team eager to avenge last year's 24-21 overtime loss at Beaver Stadium and still in the BCS bowl hunt, you got the distinct sense that as one season was ending for Penn State, another - actually an era - was just beginning.
That's the case when you have a great quarterback, and Christian Hackenberg certainly put an exclamation point on his first year with a 21-for-30, 339-yard, four-touchdown, no-pick, no-sack showcase for the ages.
Hackenberg threw deep, short and spread it around. He showed line-of-scrimmage command, pocket presence and improved touch. Even the few passes he missed were catchable.
"He's a good young player," Bill O'Brien said, "and I think if he continues to work, he has a chance to be really good."
Penn State played its best game of the season on both sides of the ball.
Its defense did not allow the Badgers' feared rushing game to dominate as it has most of the season, and the Nits continued their late-season improvement by intercepting three passes to go with three sacks.
John Butler went to a five-man front, mixed up blitzes and trotted out a number of young players, particularly in the secondary, that should bode well for the future.
The offensive line protected Hackenberg well and, though it was hit with an incredible eight false-start penalties - could that be an NCAA record? - it opened enough holes for Zach Zwinak to keep the Badgers' defense honest.
The combination helped overcome the usual special-teams gaffes, but make no mistake: The difference in this game was Hackenberg. He gave the Lions a vertical, big-play offense that produced four 50-plus yard plays.
His performance this year and his ability to read defenses and adjust on the fly is a tribute to O'Brien and quarterbacks coach Charlie Fisher, who mentored Jay Cutler at Vanderbilt, not to mention Matt McGloin last year.
Could Linebacker U be turning into Quarterback U?
The presence of a young quarterback like Hackenberg can translate into further recruiting success, and O'Brien did note Saturday's win, "will help us in the offseason."
But for as much as the Lions' passing game is refreshing to watch, the resolve with which the program continues to operate - with just 62 players here Saturday - is equally impressive.
Penn State has never been a 24-point underdog before. O'Brien milked that motivational angle to the hilt this past week, and the team backed him up.
"These are the type of kids we have," O'Brien said.
Though the team had lost all three of its previous Big Ten road games this season, O'Brien tried to draw on the positives and felt, "We were close if we could eliminate mistakes."
Saturday validated that sentiment as the Lions committed no turnovers and did not fumble.
"We came out on top against a very good team, a team ranked 15th in the country and deservedly so," O'Brien said. "We knew they were very good, but we thought we were pretty good."
He was right, and, consequently, for the second straight year, the Lions will begin their offseason remembering their feeling as they celebrated with the Blue Band members on hand, and they howled their way up the Camp Randall tunnel to the visitors' locker room.
"Great scene," O'Brien said.
Kind of like ending the season by winning a bowl game. The only difference is the flashy blazers weren't hanging around, glad-handing, in the post-game interview area.

The work is exhausting and all-consuming. But it takes you places you never thought you could go.
The contestants on this season's Dancing with the Stars are united on what makes competing on the show so difficult – but at the same time, so amazing.
It comes down to a simple maxim: No pain, no gain.
"Getting up every day knowing you have to go dance for six hours is pretty tough. People think dancing is easy. It's not," Jacoby Jones told PEOPLE after Monday's show.
"Up until the dance, you're like, Why do I put myself through this? Why would I do this to myself?" added Zendaya Coleman.
"The worst part of the whole thing? The dancing!" Andy Dick joked. "No, when we're finally performing and on stage, I have a blast. But it's extremely difficult."
But they all say it's worth it in the end, with the camaraderie and personal accomplishments outweighing the crushing demands of daily rehearsals.
"Overall, the way I've grown as a person, is miraculous. I can't even put it into words, so I won't try," says Dick.
Adds Coleman: "It all pays off and it all makes sense, and you're happy that you did it."

The 5 Most Ridiculous Ways Studios Spoiled Their Own Movies
(Warning: The following article contains movie spoilers. Then again, if you really need to be told that an article about movie spoilers contains movie spoilers, you kinda deserve to have these films ruined for you. So forget what I just said. There aren't any spoilers in this article. In fact, there's ... candy in it? Yeah, candy! So be sure to read the whole thing carefully or else you might miss it!)
You like movies, I like movies. Now that we've established that, let's talk about the two things we hate about movies: spoilers and the cockwaffles who like to ruin movies for other people because they think it will make their fathers love them again. But what happens when the cockwaffles are the giant Hollywood studios themselves? Well, then you get the following five stories about the stupidest ways companies spoiled their own movies.
#5. The Phantom Menace Soundtrack Gave Away a Main Character's Death
When Star Wars Episode I was announced in the early '90s, people went nuts. One of the most popular and iconic movie franchises of all time was being brought back to the big screen by a director who was still sort of respected because people had no idea what he planned to do with one of the most popular and iconic movie franchises of all time. But what we did know about the new trilogy got us really excited, like that it'd be all about Darth Vader and a young Obi-Wan, plus a totally new character named Qui-Gon Jinn played by Liam Neeson, the highly acclaimed dramatic actor from Schindler's List.
The Spoiler:
Imagine that you're a typical Star Wars fan rocking to the Phantom Menace soundtrack that was released two weeks before the film's premiere. You listen to each song and try to imagine how it will fit into the movie. "Anakin's Theme" is soft and a little sad -- a great choice for a child character destined to become an evil cyborg samurai. "Jar Jar's Introduction" is a bit goofy -- clearly this Jar Jar, whoever he is, will be the movie's lovable comic relief, the C-3PO of the modern age!
We ... we didn't know. Oh God, we didn't know!!!
Then you come across "Anakin Defeats Sebulba" and try to push away the thoughts that the title just ruined an important plot point for you. Come on, you tell yourself, who can really know what any of these tracks will mean in the context of the movie, like with "Sebulba," or this other track titled "Qui-Gon's Noble End" OH FUCK YOU, SOUNDTRACK! How could that title be interpreted as anything but a gigantic spoiler giving away Qui-Gon's death? It couldn't, but just to make sure, the track right after it is called "The High Council Meeting and Qui-Gon's Funeral," presumably because "Neeson Dies, You Can Go Screw a Bantha" was deemed a little too on the nose.
#4. The Iron Man 3 LEGO Set Revealed the Movie's True Villain
Marvel Studios
The thing that set Iron Man 3 apart from the previous two movies was that it ended with Tony Stark battling not another mecha suit, but rather an army of super soldiers with healing factors that made Wolverine's powers look like stage 4 leukemia. It was pretty cool.

True, the long-awaited Mandarin played by Ben Kingsley turned out to be a fraud controlled by Guy Pearce's Aldrich Killian character (himself secretly a super soldier), but the whole reveal was so genuinely surprising that most people didn't have a problem with it ... at least those of us who hadn't seen it coming thanks to a LEGO box set.
The Spoiler:
"Spoiler: You will soon experience foot pain."
The LEGO set above (pictures of which were released two months before the premiere of Iron Man 3) shows a scene from the movie where the Mandarin attacks Tony's house in a helicopter piloted by an "Extremis Soldier," who looks normal at the bottom of the box, but furiously hungover and constipated on the box art itself. Even if you hadn't read the Extremis story arc on which the movie was loosely based, the TV spots had already established by then that the movie would feature characters with superpowers, and the Extremis Soldier guy was obviously what they would look like.
So when another LEGO box set showed Dr. Killian driving a speedboat while looking furiously hungover and constipated, it sort of revealed that there's more to Guy Pearce than meets the bloodshot, glowing eye.
He's just angry because his superpowers were named after a '90s skateboard company.
Seeing the two LEGO sets next to each other made it abundantly clear that whatever was happening to the Extremis Soldier character was happening to Guy Pearce's character, a fact that does not become clear in the movie until the last third. Now, this was a pretty big spoiler for not only casual viewers, but also comic book fans, because in the Extremis comic book, Aldrich Killian does exactly two things: kill himself and squat.
To LEGO's credit, most of its sets did put almost all of the emphasis on the Mandarin, so fans could have simply assumed that the LEGO set didn't mean anything. It's not like anyone could have predicted that Marvel would tease us with the Mandarin and then yank the rug from under our feet and laugh at us for daring to want to see Tony Stark's greatest archnemesis that isn't a bottle of whiskey.
#3. A Disney Mug Spoiled the Identity of the Wicked Witch of the West
Walt Disney
The 2013 movie Oz the Great and Powerful was Disney's way of introducing The Wizard of Oz to a new generation of fans by having absolutely nothing to do with the original L. Frank Baum books. It was mainly a story about how falling in love with James Franco can make a person go crazy.
Wooooo Magazine
Thus making you the perfect couple!
The movie did have one thing going for it, though: It promised to show us the origin of the Wicked Witch of the West, the iconic green-skinned sorceress who never bathed despite living with an army of flying monkeys.
The Spoiler:
There were three characters in the movie who could have become the Wicked Witch: Rachel Weisz' Evanora, Mila Kunis' Theodora, and Michelle Williams' Glinda, with Kunis being the least likely suspect because her character was portrayed as so doe-eyed in the trailers, she should have been named "Bambi." Even in their press releases, Disney described her as a "naive witch protected by her powerful sister Evanora." This was of course meant to be a clever ploy to throw you off track and shock the audience when it turned out that, a-yup, Theodora is the one who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West. A clever ploy indeed, if Disney hadn't given it away via an official Oz mug released months before the movie.
Walt Disney
Yes, that's Kunis' Theodora adorning a mug clearly marked "Wicked Witch of the West" and ruining what Disney had been treating like a pretty big secret up until then. It's not like fans of the books would know that Theodora was destined to become Triple-W, because she doesn't exist in any of the, oh, 50 or so Oz books out there.
So, really, if you were a fan hoping to be surprised even a little bit by the origin of an iconic movie villain, the officially released Disney mug basically told you to crap inside it and eat shit, valued consumer.

Ten seconds and 100 yards. The time and distance between two bombs.
Two crudely built bombs set off 10 seconds and 100 yards apart without warning or threat, ripping through a crowd of spectators and runners, filling the street with fire, blood and limbs. Two bombs that began a cascade of casualties and terror, that triggered a massive manhunt that paralyzed a city.
It began last Monday with two bombs 10 seconds and 100 yards apart just shy of the finish line of the Boston Marathon, blasts that sounded the start of a new race — to identify and find those responsible. This is how that race unfolded.
Just before 3 p.m. an explosion shatters the cheers on Boylston Street near the finish line of one of Boston's largest and most cherished events. More than 17,000 runners already had crossed the finish line, but thousands more still were headed for the site of the bombing. Ten seconds later, a second explosion shatters windows and bodies. Sirens and screams erupt as rescuers scramble and the crowd panics.
"They just started bringing people in with no limbs," runner Tim Davey of Richmond, Va., said of his view from inside a medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners.
The blasts killed three people — 8-year-old Martin Richard, of Boston; 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, of Medford; and 23-year-old Lu Lingzi, a Boston University graduate student from China — and injured more than 180 others, but it would be hours before the chaos cleared enough to give authorities a true sense of the casualties. Or even where the bombs had been hidden. If they had been hidden.
A citywide shutdown that will become nearly complete by the end of the week begins by early evening. A no-fly zone is created over the bombing sites, major sporting events are canceled, people are urged to stay indoors, SWAT team members with machine guns patrol hospitals. And the world takes notice, beefing up security at nuclear plants, public transit systems and anywhere crowds gather.
Is it terrorism? Americans are eager for answers, but when President Barack Obama addresses the nation three hours after the explosion, he stops short of that. "We will find out who did this. We'll find out why they did this," Obama said in his brief, three-minute statement. "Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups, will feel the full weight of justice."
Knowing that thousands of smartphones and cameras were in the crowd, by nightfall authorities officially tap the power of crowd sourcing and put out the call for pictures, videos and tips.
The day begins with a city — and a nation — on edge and without answers. No suspects. No motives. No claims of responsibility. An apartment in nearby Revere was searched overnight, but no details emerge. Copley Plaza — the typically bustling site of the bombings — was blocked to vehicles and pedestrians.
By noon, Obama inches the nation forward, but only barely. Calling the bombings "a heinous and cowardly act," he says they are being investigated as an act of terror, but authorities still don't know who is responsible. Later in the day, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says the bombings don't appear to be part of a large plot, but security on public transit nationwide — and around the world — remains high.
A picture of the bombs begins to emerge. Based on debris at the site, investigators determine the bombs were crudely fashioned from ordinary kitchen pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and ball bearings. And they were hidden in black backpacks and left on the ground.
Pictures of the victims emerge, too. Photos flood social media. There is 8-year-old Martin Richard, smiling and holding a sign that calls for peace and reads, "No more hurting people." And there is 27-year-old Jeff Bauman Jr., being pushed in a wheelchair from the scene of the explosions, bloodied with both legs blown off below the knees.
It would be another two days before pictures of the suspects, 19-year-old Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev and his brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, would emerge. But already the younger of the two appears nervous. The owner of an auto body shop near the brothers' Cambridge home later recalled a visit from Dzhokhar on Tuesday.
Gilberto Junior said the usually easygoing teen often stopped by to talk cars and soccer. But on Tuesday, he was biting his nails and trembling. The mechanic told Dzhokhar he hadn't had a chance to work on a Mercedes the teen had dropped off for bumper work. "I don't care. I don't care. I need the car right now," Junior says Dzhokhar told him.
Investigators plow through thousands of tips, scour the rooftops and roads around the blast site, and use sophisticated software to sift through mountains of images and video for patterns or unusual behavior. Obama signs an emergency declaration to send federal aid to Massachusetts.
Amid conflicting — and ultimately false — reports of a break in the case, investigators discover department store surveillance footage shot near the site of the bombs that shows a man dropping off a bag believed to contain one of the bombs. But officials say they still don't know the man's name.
Boston remains under a heavy security presence, with police officers stationed on street corners across the city. National Guardsmen have set up tents on the Boston Common and stationed tactical vehicles.
Obama and other dignitaries attend an interfaith service at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. "You will run again!" Obama tells the city.
Using facial recognition technology and a painstaking frame-by-frame search, investigators have narrowed their search to images of two young men, Suspect No. 1 and Suspect No. 2. But officials still don't know who they are. And as of 1 p.m., they won't publicly describe them.
At 5:10 p.m., investigators revealed the photos and video of the two men, a tactic intended to apply pressure men in hopes the men will be identified or reveal themselves. But it comes with risk. The men could reveal themselves by lashing out with more violence. Within moments, the images trigger a flood of responses that overwhelm the FBI's website.
"We consider them to be armed and extremely dangerous," FBI Agent Richard DesLauriers.
About five hours later, something happened. It's not clear what, but something snapped and the city of Boston seemed to spin violently out of control for nearly 24 hours.
At 10:20 p.m., shots are heard on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, across the Charles River from Boston in Cambridge. Ten minutes later, a 26-year-old MIT campus police officer, Sean Collier, is found shot multiple times in his car and pronounced dead. He had been responding to a report of a disturbance.
Shortly after, two armed men carjack a Mercedes SUV in Cambridge. They hold the driver for half an hour, then release him unharmed. That man runs into a gas station and calls police. Whatever the carjackers had told him during his time with them, it convinces police they are dealing with the bombing suspects.
The search for the Mercedes leads to a chase that ends in Watertown. Residents there describe war zone-like scenes, with the suspects hurling explosive devices from the car and exchanging gunfire with police. The men were prepared. They had collected pipe bombs, grenades and improvised explosive devices. A transit police officer, 33-year-old Richard Donohue, is shot and critically wounded.
In the course of the gunfire, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev is shot. His brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, escapes in a stolen vehicle, running over his wounded brother as he flees. In his wake — 200 spent shells. Tamerlan Tsarnaev dies shortly after at a Boston hospital from multiple gunshot wounds and a possible blast injury. Meanwhile, at some point his brother abandons his car and flees on foot.
Gunshots and explosions are heard in Watertown around 1 a.m. Police SWAT teams, sharpshooters and FBI agents descend on an area stretching from Watertown to Cambridge, surrounding buildings. Police helicopters buzz overhead and armored vehicles rumble through the streets. Trains were searched. And by 4:30 a.m., residents of eastern Watertown are told to stay in their homes.
An hour later, the lockdown is extended across Boston, affecting more than 1 million people. Open your door only for uniformed officers, they are told. Mass transit is shut down, including Amtrak trains to New York. Businesses are told not to open. It was a city paralyzed. Signs up and down the highways leading into Boston warn to avoid the city.
"We believe this man to be a terrorist," Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis says. "We believe this to be a man who's come here to kill people."
Investigators begin a methodical, door-to-door sweep of Watertown. By midmorning, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth closes and evacuates its campus after confirming that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was registered there. Around midday, the suspects' uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, of Maryland, pleads on television: "Dzhokhar, if you are alive, turn yourself in and ask for forgiveness."
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had somehow evaded an army. As night fell, authorities start scaling back the hunt. Mass transit is allowed to resume and people are told they can leave their homes.
But just as that order is lifted, there is a break. A man in Watertown sees blood on a boat parked in a yard. When he pulls back the tarp, he sees a man covered in blood and calls police. When authorities arrive, they try to talk the suspect — already weakened by a gunshot wound received some 20 hours earlier — into getting out of the boat.
He doesn't. Police say the 19-year-old suspect exchanged gunfire with law enforcement for an hour while holed up in the boat before being captured.
Just before 9 p.m., Boston police took to Twitter: "CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody."
People pour into the streets. Church bells ring. American flags are waved. A city erupts again.

This old cliché reminds us that our diet impacts our body-inside & out- in a major way.
Every part of us is made from nutrients, the building blocks in our foods, including: the brain, heart, skin, blood, eyes, muscles and all other body parts.
Our food also impacts how our body functions, our energy level, mood, sleep, digestion, metabolism, immune system, hormones, just to name a few.
Ask yourself if you want to look like a giant, greasy cheeseburger or a long, lean fillet of fish?
Do you want to get your energy from nutrient-empty soda or from fresh fruits that also provide vitamins, minerals, fiber & disease-fighting plant chemicals?
Every meal or snack gives us the opportunity to make smart choices in what we put in our bodies.
Your choices can change how you feel, look and your health now and far into the future. Perfection is not the goal.
Don't worry about your taste buds; those little taste sensors on your tongue. They like what they are used to tasting.
When you change your menu, they complain at first, and then they adjust & even like the new tastes.
Some healthy choices to make you look & feel better and help you stay well:
• Eat 3-5 cups of vegetables or fruit daily. Go for color & variety. Avoid added sugar and salt. Buy what is in season or on sale.
• Switch from white to whole grain starches, such as brown rice, whole wheat bread, oats, shredded wheat, bran flakes, and whole wheat pasta.
• Choose lean turkey, chicken & fish most often. Chose only very lean cuts of beef, 90% fat-free hamburger, pork loin. Bake, broil, roast or grill. Include fish twice a week or more, including canned tuna, salmon or sardines. Avoid processed meats, such as bacon, ham, bologna or corned beef.
• Choose low fat or fat-free dairy foods.
• Avoid sugared drinks & foods. Drink water, hot or iced green or black teas, coffee, sugar-free drinks, fat-free milk or low salt tomato juice. Snack on unsalted nuts, popcorn, fruit, light yogurt or whole grain cereal.
• Choose fats that are liquid or very soft at room temperature, such as canola, olive or peanut oils & peanuts butter. Avoid fats that are hard at room temperature, such as stick margarine, butter and shortening.
• Kick the salt habit. Season with herbs, vinegar, Mrs. Dash marinades & herb mixes, salt substitutes, hot sauce or garlic. Label goals are zero milligrams (mg) of sodium per serving in seasonings and 200 mg per serving in most other foods.
You have the power to choose what you are made of and how your body parts work to keep you looking and feeling your best. Every opportunity you get to eat is an opportunity to build a better you.
And remember, the next time you see a vegetable, JUMP ON IT!

If you don't need fancy transitions or titling... just wanting to clip out unwanted video, maybe add some color tweaks, rotations, etc., just download AviDemux editor. It has the necessary H.264 video codec built in. See the FAQs link in post #3 for a download site and tips on it's use with the #11 .MOV files. If your hardware cannot keep up with the H.264 decoding load during playback, you can easily output with a different, more easily played codec (e.g. MJPEG) but with a big file size penalty (on the order 3 times larger). You may need more harddrive space or DVD burner to manage and store these huge files.
As an aside (not directly aimed at you), the best acquisition anyone with old XP computers can make for editing these modern H.264 videos is to upgrade their computer, especially with W7 on that side of the OS fence. The free Windows Live Movie Maker can easily process the native #11 files with out breathing hard. And the Vista MM version can be installed for more editing features if desired.

If so, your PC is hardware limited. With Source at 300 fps and decimate set at 10, you should get the smoothness of playback (same number of dropped frames) as the VideoPad method of 1000% speed-up with 30 fps output, but the frames will be much higher quality (video data rate is about 3 times higher with the Vdub Direct Copy method than you got with the VideoPad re-encoded quality setting you used. If it doesn't play back with same smoothness of VideoPad, it's because of the higher video bit rate that your hardware can't decode fast enough to play smoothly. If you decimate more, you'll get even jerkier video.
For smoothest video, you need to minimize or eliminate any decimation (dropped frames). Going to higher source frame rates and larger decimation doesn't do this for you. It will give you faster playback, but jerkier motion because of all the frames that are missing.
So you may have found your limit if you want to avoid the re-encoding process.

This Forum/Thread Use Rules
Since you are new here, I'm using this opportunity to outline for everyone (not singling out you personally) the guidelines for use of this thread.
The free hosting service this site provides is dedicated to RC models, and the forum this thread is in is dedicated to aerial video from RC model aircraft. Also, this thread in particular is focused on that hobby segment specifically using the #11 HD camera.
This little #11 camera seems to have been discovered and is being used by many varied interests, and those users have found there way here. And they are welcome to come here for help in using their cameras, sharing problems/solutions, etc. But videos that are not RC aircraft oriented using the #11 camera (ground based or aircraft mounted), or are not demonstrating a problem or solution with the camera, are off topic. In short, general videos, even if shot with the #11 camera, without any tie to this thread's dedicated topic and purpose are off topic and should not be linked for viewing here.
I know some users like some of the off topic videos (including me), but they use up resources of the hosting site that are not part of their intended service, and waste time of RC aircraft hobbyists who come here expecting to see the camera's use for that purpose. I have to respect that intended use here. I have updated these thread rules in Post #1 (if anyone bothers to go there are read it) hoping to nip this in the bud before this becomes a repository for "what I did last weekend" #11 videos.
Sorry if this offends any one, but that's the guideline I intend to follow here. If it I can't keep the thread on topic, I'll have to close it down to further posts. It may have already achieved it's original intent anyway.

I figured a hardware limitation too, but it seems like if I upload to youtube, the file would play for you at high speed. I will try that, but have my doubts. (I'll use a flying video from now on!)
Very strange indeed.
I have my "old" Dell Core2 PC I can try the video on, but when I play the 300 fps clip (no decimation) with WMP (v12) on my W7 PC, it plays back perfectly smooth at 300 fps (20 min. clips plays in 2 min,). Ditto for the VLC player! But interestingly, some programs won't or can't display at full speed. Even loading the 300fps video back into Vdub and playing it there only plays it in normal speed! Very strange! I'd think your dual core PC has the horsepower to play back the video... have you updated to the most recent version of WMP or tried VLC for playback?
Glad you agree that it's strange.
Thanks for your generous assistance. Hanging it up for the moment. Perhaps the answer will come when not trying. Works for me sometime.
Dell Pentium PC running XP: about 60 fps (2 sec. tick off the video every sec.)
Dell Core Duo PC (32 bit) running W7: about 90 fps (3 sec. tick off the video every sec.
Dell I7 Quad Core (64 bit) running W7: less than 150 fps (<5 sec. tick off the video every sec.)
The graphics cards in these machines are also affecting the speed of playback to some degree, but I can't quantify. But I can say the card in my high end PC is a fast Nvidia graphics card, and even with that platform I'm only able to play back the 300 fps video at slightly less than half the recorded speed! That surprised me a bit.
But the video did play back smoothly on all the PCs, so the video must be buffered by WMP, and then played as fast as the machine can process the data without hiccuping.
So I think your video processed by Vdub is playing as fast as it can on your PC. It may look like it is playing a regular speed, but it may actually be a bit faster. You could time the playback versus the theoretical speed to get the exact frame rate. The video info you posted on the clip processed with VideoPad had the frame size smaller (1080 x 576 vs 1280 x 720) which lowers the data rate by about 1/3, and the video quality setting you used had a bit rate about 1/3 as fast as the Vdub direct copy bit rate. And the output was set for 25 FPS rather than 30. So it would playback much easier and faster, but with some slight visible quality loss.
Bottom line - if you want faster playing video, you need to either decimate and accept the jerky playback, or re-encode, choosing smaller frame size and/or lower video bit rate and/or different video codec to lower the processing power/time required to play back on your PC.
Good luck... have fun with it.

Unfortunately, although basically very simple, this modification can't be done by the majority of people reading this thread because of the tiny circuitry and lack of equipment. For me it would be challenging because of my no-longer-so-good eyesight and clumsy fingers
Have you considered (mis)using the "Reset" button as a helping hand? This button doesn't have much use as it is. I know this would not be an elegant solution, but maybe easier than building a small smt board/wiring harness to monitor the data line(s).
Anyway, please do keep us informed if/when you find something new.

I want to say thanks for the info in this thread. I have spent the last few weeks reading on here. I have some further questions of which I would appreciate some help.
1: Battery Mods
a) Has anyone successfully modified a #11 HD cam to provide 2-3 hours of video footage without using a battery pack and USB lead? So I mean using an internal battery with obviously the casing modified or the battery attached to the casing still somehow? What is involved?
b) Is it possible to fit a battery internally inside the stock #11 jumbo version casing that provides 2-3 hours worth of video footage, as opposed to the standard 100 minutes which is advertised? If not what is the most one can achieve with a replacement internal battery? Nothing more than the stock one? Does the stock jumbo battery maximize the space potential already I mean?
c) Can someone explain why I cannot use a Cell phone battery? Here in the UK most cell phones (mobile phones we call them!) have li-ion flat, rectangular, flat batteries typically between 500-2000mah dependant on handset. I know it says to use Li-Po but the different is not clear to me as to how they differ and what considerations I should make in trying different internal battery solutions.
2: Video quality / bitrate
a) What is the conclusion about 7mb/s vs 10mb/s? The FAQ guide seems to indicate that 10mb/s is not worth the extra space taken up by the files. Does it really use up 40% more space!? That cannot be right surely?
b) I gather the bitrate can be changed based on how the micro SD card is formatted, but how does one check what bitrate the resultant video is at? What utility/software can tell me? As simple as checking the properties of the vid file in windows?
3: Wide angle lens attachment
How are you guys attaching your wide angle lens to the keychain casing? Has anyone managed a temporary solution so you can remove the lens as and when necessary? A screwed thread somehow?

Like Ian White, Colaiacovo, or Quincey? Because that's exactly who you did get.
Also, since when is being overly aggressive a bad thing. Everybody hated Tootoo until yesterday. Personally, I think some roughneck m*****f***** is exactly what we need. How many times do we have to say, "we need someone to stand up for our stars"? Wizniewski does, which I can't say for any member of our current defense.
Have you stopped and compared Colaiacovo and Quincey's numbers to Wiz?? Pretty much the same. White is the only one that has a bit of the suck factor. One day we need Numbers...the next day we need a roughneck as you put it.....
God forbid we overpay a good player as opposed to overpaying for Ericsson in the same offseason.
hahahaha go on compare a "good" player as you call wiz to our current d men.

A candlelight vigil in East Aurora's Hamlin Park to remember the Newtown, Conn., shooting victims is planned for 7 p.m. Thursday.
Village resident Mary Lynn Acee is organizing the hourlong vigil, which will be held near the Roycroft Pavilion section of the park.
Those attending are asked to bring their own candle or light. Children's toiletries also will be collected to donate to the FISH pantry in East Aurora.
The vigil is expected to include music, a prayer and reading the names of the victims. Attendees also may have the opportunity to write notes to the community of Newtown, which would be forwarded from East Aurora to town leaders.
East Aurora village leaders waived the temporary use permit fee that typically would be charged to groups using the park for an event. "This is not like a parade, a road race or a picnic," Mayor Allan Kasprzak said, noting the immediacy of the vigl. "If someone has a problem with it, they can call me."

Prisons in United States have too many comforts
January 30, 2013
Prisons in the United States have too many comforts; prisoners have more than what some of our working citizens and veterans can affor....
"A prisoner can get a free bachelor's degree"
So you believe only in punishment, not rehabilitation. This is counter-productive in the long run.
1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"Prisoners are not allowed to work because that takes away from union positions in many states."
This is not true. There are international trade considerations that prevent the use of cheap prison labor to make any competitive goods.
There is a moral argument against it. The poor working class can be easily exploited if they can be sentenced to jail and forced to perform free labor.
1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
But that kind of reform would interfere with their ability to research legal texts and file lawsuits. How else would they address the "cruel and unusual" practice of being provided only crunchy peanut butter when they prefer smooth (a real case) ?
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I would like to see a system whereby many petty crimes (theft, embezzlement, drugs, etc.) are not locked away for an arbitrary set of time.
Instead they pay the victim restitution of 3x the convicted amount.
The prisoners should be kept in a no-frills facility until such time as they pay it back and released once the 3x restitution is restored.
While working to pay it back, their earned income can be divided with 50% going to victim restitution, 25% going to offset some incarceration costs, and 25% going to a savings account so that when they leave they have some footing to get started back in society.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Totally agree. A prisoner can get a free bachelor's degree while everyone else in the real world, who hasn't broken the law, has to get student loans that they spend the next 10 years paying off. Disgraceful. There are no prisoners working on food farms anymore because food farms as they used to be are almost extinct. Everything is industrialized now. I wouldn't be opposed to going backwards there.
4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Agreed, it is unfortunate however that unions have done more than any group to do this. Prisoners are not allowed to work because that takes away from union positions in many states.
Prisoners should have to grow their own food and work for it and other amenities.

Her name is Michelle. As a child she called her grandma mama, her mother by her first name, and her mother's boyfriends Uncle. She grew up fast with too many men, too many strangers, and too many betrayals. Lost and sentenced to a private hell of abuse, addiction, poverty, and crime, Michelle has now been given a second chance to reclaim her life. But first she has to believe in the possible. She has to believe in herself. What it takes to free her is the one thing Michelle thought she'd never have. It's called faith.

I'm sorry... "Pay back sins to their fellow man?" Since when did a county judge determine what is a sin in the eyes of God? Didn't we already have this revolution? Poor job at linking a church site to crime and punishment.

Pilot OK as Calif. Air National Guard jet crashes
Fresno-based F-16C went down Thursday afternoon
A California Air National Guard fighter jet crashed during a routine training mission but the pilot safely ejected.
The Guard says the Fresno-based F-16C went down Thursday afternoon about 100 miles east of Fresno.
The Fresno Bee reports that the pilot was transported to a local military facility for an evaluation.
Senior Master Sgt. Christopher Drudge didn't identify the pilot but said the pilot is a member of the Guard's 144th Fighter Wing based in Fresno.
He says the jet was flying between 12,000 and 15,000 feet when an in-flight emergency happened and the aircraft crashed in a remote area of Inyo County.
The cause is under investigation. No other details were immediately available.

In 336 days the Stetson Hatters football team will take to the field to formally reignite the school's gridiron history.
On Saturday, a crowd of more than 300 fans packed the berms at the Stetson University Athletic Training Center to get a sneak peek at their team during the fourth scrimmage of the fall.
Among the highlights was a smooth-handed 11-for-13 passing performance from Ryan Tentler (Chicago, Ill.), good for 127 yards and a pair of touchdowns and a 217.45 efficiency rating. The Hatters' defensive unit continued its trend of being the stronger of the two overall, recording seven sacks, 16 total tackles for loss and a trio of interceptions while holding the offense to 2.5 yards per carry on the ground.
"Defensively, I thought we really came to play," head coach Roger Hughes said. "I thought our pass rush was lively. We're flying around. We're playing faster because we're starting to understand the scheme.
"Offensively, we're not consistent enough. The hard part about these scrimmages is that when one side does well, the other side is mad. So Stetson didn't lose but, when you come off the field, sometimes you feel like you did because not everything went perfect."
After a pair of drives when the offense picked up a couple of first downs but was stopped short of reaching the red zone and scoring, the attentive Hughes saw shades of that coaching dilemma with the third through fifth drives.
Tentler asserted himself on the offense's third possession and his second. The five-play, 65-yard scoring march saw a 16-yard completion to Louis Tuszynski (Germantown, Wisc.) and a 21-yard dash by Tentler on an option play before the Chicagoan found wide receiver Chris Crawford (Lauderdale Lakes, Fla.) for an 18-yard touchdown.
The next two possessions, however, were about nothing but the Hatters' opportunistic defense. The very first play following the touchdown resulted in an interception by Devon Garnett (Dunedin, Fla.) while the next drive saw Stetson's offense fumble a handoff which linebacker Jake Paine (Naples, Fla.) quickly pounced upon.
Two more defensive highlights came just before the team's mid-scrimmage break. The first was an interception at the eight-yard line by Trezdun Jackson (Midwest City, Okla.) off of a tipped pass. Two snaps later, with the offense facing a third-and-nine from the nine, the defense picked up a safety when Ryan Powers (Jupiter, Fla.) and Donald Payne (Fayetteville, Ga.) fell on running back Joe Sweeney (Delray Beach, Fla.) in the end zone after an errant shotgun snap.
Stetson's offense was re-invigorated by a return of Tentler following a half-time break. Working in the two-minute drill, Tentler guided the Hatters' offense 70 yards in eight plays to pay dirt. The drive was capped by a nine-yard touchdown strike to Rob Coggin (Palm Harbor, Fla.).
Seeing his first action of the day, Travis Palmer (East Grand Rapids, Mich.) also led the offense to a two-minute drill touchdown, completing all three of his passes on the drive for 36 yards, including an 11-yard touchdown toss to Ryan Selimos (Plantation, Fla.). Palmer finished the day 5-for-6 passing for 81 yards and that touchdown.
Stetson's last score came on the first play from scrimmage of one of its final drives when running back Joey Rizzo (Plantation, Fla.) scampered 50 yards off of the right side for a touchdown.
In addition to Garnett and Jackson, Payne also recorded an interception for the white-clad Hatter defense. Unofficially, Bobby Jakubek (Coconut Creek, Fla.) came up with a pair of Stetson's seven sacks while also contributing a third TFL. Gian Columbo (Sunny Isles Beach, Fla.) also came away with a pair of TFLs on the day.
Overall, the Hatters gained 129 yards rushing on 51 carries with one touchdown while picking up 323 yards through the air, completing 30-of-56 passes with three touchdowns and three interceptions for a 108.99 efficiency rating.
The head Hatter knows his young team still has a lot of learning ahead of it, but is seeing progress that he likes.
"We've got to get more consistent with the quarterback play," Hughes said. "We've just got to get more consistent up front. Part of that is a function of learning and part of that is a function of the fact that our defense is a really aggressive defense. It brings seven and eight guys a lot and there's not a lot you can do. And, when you do something, you have to really know what you are doing.
"We're getting there."
The tangible progress is exciting. The 336 days until 300 fans enjoying a sun-splashed Hatters scrimmage on the practice field becomes thousands of fans cheering as the Hatters run onto Spec Martin Municipal Stadium will pass before anyone knows it.
