Camper openings are available for the Oct. 5-6, 2013 Shannon's Hope, a therapeutic weekend camp for children ages 6-15 who have experienced the death of a loved one in the past three to 24 months. This unique camp is an initiative of Hospice of Charleston Foundation in collaboration with Hospice Care of America, the Medical University of South Carolina and Roper Hospice.
Through participation in fun, yet intense, activities, Shannon's Hope campers are encouraged to speak openly about issues of death and grief. The experience is structured to teach the children that feelings such as sadness, fear, anger and desperation are all normal aspects of the grieving process. Together they create friendships and support that allow them to identify and express their emotions in a safe, secure environment. It is a weekend of laughter, tears, sharing and remembering.
The camp is facilitated by professional counselors, and trained volunteer buddies provide compassionate individual support to the children. Together these adults help the children "create stepping stones from their stumbling blocks."
Shannon's Hope is held twice a year at Camp St. Christopher on Seabrook Island. A fee of $35 is requested; however, scholarships are available based on financial need. Referrals of campers are welcomed from parents, counselors, teachers, ministers or other concerned persons. Transportation to and from camp is available.
Shannon Heisler was the inspiration for Shannon's Hope, which began in August, 1989. The courage and hope demonstrated by this 16-year-old Hospice of Charleston patient, who died in November of 1988, were the driving forces behind the development of the camp.
To refer a camper or for questions, contact Kathy Berry at Hospice of Charleston Foundation (email@example.com or 843-216-7323).
Corporate sponsorships are available for Shannon's Hope and all Hospice of Charleston Foundation events. Financial contributions are welcomed to support this program as well as Hospice of Charleston Foundation's other charitable efforts to assist the individuals and families who turn to hospice for help in their most vulnerable moments.
For more information, please visit the website at www.hospiceofcharlestonfoundation.org or call 843-216-7323.

Are you a photographer amateur or professional? Would you like the opportunity to have your work hanging in Summerville Town Hall over the holidays and well into the New Year? How about the chance to sell your work?
If your answer to any or all of the above questions is yes, then you should enter the upcoming Juried Photo Show and Sale sponsored by the Cultural Arts Alliance (CAA). Photo intake is Friday, November 30, from 3-7 p.m. Judging takes place the weekend of Nov. 30. The show will be hung Monday, December 3, and will open Tuesday. December 4. A reception will be held at Town Hall on Thursday, December 6; from 5 -7 p.m. DREAM gift certificates are prizes for the winners. The show continues until Friday, February 8. Artists whose work was not accepted can pick up their photos at Town Hall Monday, December 3, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
To be eligible to enter this juried show, you must be 18 years of age and reside in Dorchester County, within the town limits of Summerville, and/or in adjoining communities. All work should be a minimum of 8 by 10, framed and wired, ready to hang.
Contracts with all the requirement details are available at Finishing Touch, People, Places and Quilts, and Town Hall, all located on Richardson Avenue. You can also get the contract from the website: townhallartshow.com. The entry fee is $10 per piece. Artists who want to sell their work will have the price placed with the photo. A CAA representative will arrange to contact artists with requests for purchase. The Alliance receives 10% of the purchase price.
This is the third Photography Show sponsored by the CAA which has also put on shows for painting and for quilts. The current event is being coordinated by Jane Orenstein, Meg Skow and John Lindroth. The latter, a photographer himself, created the advertising posters. Jane, who chaired the first meeting to establish the CAA, also suggested the Town Hall Art Shows as a way to display local talent to as many people as possible. Most exhibits hang for two or more months, and provide opportunities for various cultural groups to add to reception festivities, such as background musicians and writers, who displayed themed poems for a Quilt Show.
There is solid historic precedent for cultural arts in Town Hall. The building which stood on this site from 1892 to 1965 was a hub of cultural arts in the last century. It provided the venue for traveling entertainments, including plays and what used to be referred to as musicales. It was also the background for flower shows and other exhibitions.
In April student artists were honored. The CAA exhibited the best of student art in Dorchester District II. Meg, who teaches at the Rollings Middle School of the Arts, explained that one piece of art is chosen from each school and that work hangs in the board room for a year, then hangs in the district office for a year, and finally comes back to the individual schools for their permanent collection.
The CAA was able to extend this display for Town Hall exhibition and introduce the general public to the quality of work in our arts students, she said.

Hey whats up? Im a loyal Microsoft Xbox use and Im trying to figure this Status Code out. What does "Status Code 03 80 00" mean to the techies? I called 1 800 4 MY XBOX last night, talked to guy named "Rudy" which was obviously not his name. lol Back to topic at hand. My box has been having this issue for a month or so now. It seems as if it is getting worse.
I put a game or DVD in the drive, nothing. "Open Tray" or "Unrecognized Disc"; so I proceed to Open and Close the tray until it finally reads. Sometime it may take 3 tries sometimes it seems like im sitting there 15 minutes trying to get it to read.
I talked with "Rudy", we proceeded to clean the cache, turn off the system, unplug everything, plug everything back in, put a game in and viola the game reads first shot.
Im thinking "Awesome!" Then this morning the dreaded "Open Tray" msg reappears with a vengeance! I turned down Rudy's offer on a follow up call. To be honest, I'm a father and husband supporting my family on a single income. "Rudy" told me there is a repair process, ship it out, flat rate fix,.. yada yada... somewhere around 120ish dollars. If my xbox is out of warranty tell me whats wrong with it. I will then decide whether or not I have the know how to fix the device myself.
Thanks for the read, I look forward to hearing something back,... if xbox wishes to contact me thats cool too. Either call me (im sure you got my number,.. somewhere, somehow) or PM me via Xbox Live. I can still play arcade games without a hitch.
I am haviing this error code happen on a number of games too. Lego, both Mass Effects, Madden, what is going on???
hey man,..
after i realized that my warranty was no good and my other only option was to pay M$ to repair I decided to try to fix it myself... voiding my non-existant warranty.
[mod removed]
Just an FYI since you have already opened it ( I understand father to father). Dont ever send that xbox in for repair they will not work on it ( you already said this) since you void the warrenty. Happy gaming and glad you are up and running again!
This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights. @PhDPeddler
I didnt have this problem until the massive update. Now i cant play MW3 or Battlefield 3 yet my daughter can play NFS Carbon and Burnout Paradise without a hitch. I dont expect any real Technical support will offer any helpful suggestions without a hefty price tag. One of my friends suggests its a conspiracy for those of us that havent dropped $400 on a new Xbox 360 Slim to have to go buy one now that ours appear not to work. At least with PS3, online gaming is free and i can watch bluray for less than $250. Microsoft hasnt completely locked down the market just yet
As for returning the disc (the solution that seems to fit my case), Forza 4 just isn't on the list of possibilities. Seems that Microsoft are only in it for the money, hard as that is to believe!
Its not just the old xbox 360's my slim does it too after that update. For me its mostly older games. I also went through the tech clearing the cache and all that. Hopefully MS with fix the mess up.
Do you think it could be the New 360s are having problems with the old games and vise versa for the old ones.
I read something about that when I was trying to fix my own just a little bit ago.
The issue here I believe is that the new games that are coming out are using a new disc layer technology that some older XBOX 360's might not be able to read. This was apart of an older XBOX 360 firmware update (which they had a press release about replacing users XBOX 360's if they were apart of this set group) I know that a friend of mine was apart of this group and did receive a new XBOX 360 but he was contacted directly by Microsoft. Article is here: www.1up.com/.../xbox-36-new-disc-format-increases-storage, don't know if it's related, just a hunch.

Hah see I pretty much what I just read
Hey guys, I'm sorry to hear about the disc read issues, and it appears that we're experiencing a few varieties of it here in this thread. For disc read issues, please try the steps listed here in this official guide. If those don't resolve the issue, then I'm afraid the console will need to be submitted for an official repair. As for the article posted in this thread, it appears to be detailing the update that went out in the first half of 2011, which is unrelated to the events described here.
Mister Fitzer - Xbox Community Engagement
Now that sounds like the Corporate response we were all expecting. "Sorry our product is failing you, but if you pay us your life savings we will hide the real simple solution from you and give a complicated list of reasons why you can't fix it yourself."
Yeah i was having this problem for a few tries but then i just shut off my xbox and kept putting the disc in and it only took like 3 minutes to work. Try shutting off your xbox with the disc inside when it says unrecognized. It might help!
I've been playing 360 for something like six years, ive owned my 360 for something like 4 years, and ive been told by everybody that ive talked to, that it is AMAZING that my 360 has lasted that long, but now im haveing the same issue as the OP. and its kind of makeing me wonder. With all the problems that 360's have, is microsoft designing their systems to breakdown after a certain time, i mean, it sounds like something they would do, just look at what they do with their OS discs.
Not true, I have owned 4 XBOX 360's and 2 of them being original XBOX 360's that have lasted me 6 years without any issues. I decided myself that it was time to upgrade both and I have had 2 slims for the past 2 years now with no issues what so ever. So, no they aren't deliberately making their consoles break down. Please don't spread rumors.
This is going to sound really stupid but its either you have a scratch on your disc in the wrong spot or your xbox 360 laser is all dusty ect I had a xbox 360 pro for 3 years but just a couple days ago it started to not read any of my discs they only ones it would read would be the ones I have installed and then it would freeze so yeahhh thats all I can say.

What People Are Saying
"I once again had the pleasure of visiting the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans. My company has at least one board meeting a year here. Everything from the check-in to the meeting rooms were first class. When my luggage arrived to my room, the lady who was accompanying it was actually a hotel manager. The bell staff was attending a meeting and she didn't want us to wait. That doesn't happen very often. My advice is when in New Orleans, pay the Hotel Monteleone a visit. Even if it is just to go to the world famous Carousel Bar for Marvin to make you a cocktail." – Russell Walters, TripAdvisor User

"Our ten-member executive team off-site meeting was outstanding in every way — from meals in the Criollo Restaurant to late night beverages at the Carousel Bar as well as service in the suite where we held our meetings. The staff provides exceptional hospitality across every position, and the location is adjacent to the French Quarter. I've been to New Orleans several times and stayed in many different hotels — this one rates as a truly "First Class" experience!" – Bob C., TripAdvisor User
"It's a classic, historical hotel. The service at the front door, the front desk, housekeeping, and the conference serving staff was very warm, welcoming, and professional. We were there for a board meeting and a conference (and extended a day) so six nights in all. That is a long time to be in NOLA, but the lovely Hotel Monteleone made us feel very much at home. They have a large bar, which made it convenient for our group to find each other after meetings. Highly recommend." – Meri J., TripAdvisor User

Interview with Chris DiBona of Google
Open source is brutal: an interview with Google's Chris DiBona
Chris DiBona is the Director of Open Source for Google. He is also one of the great champions of open source, dating back to when he first fell in love with Linux at his university.
At the All Things Open conference this year, Chris will give an update on Google's current open source software activities and a retrospective, of sorts, on the origins and state of Android.
I caught up with him to discuss his favourite Linux distribution, the brutal nature of open source, and his view of Google's responsibilities as an industry leader.
Read more in this interview.
What's something we don't know about your path to Google and working with open source?
I first used Linux while I was at school, as we needed to write some client/server stuff for the operating systems class I was taking. Fortuitously for me, the Sun workstation lab was crowded, very hot due to poor ventilation, smelly (coder odor), and the terminals were very very slow. I figured, what the heck, let's give this Linux thing a shot on a 486-16 I had lying around at home. Best decision ever. I fell in love with the Linux OS. It was so great, fast, and feature-full even back then compared to other unixes. I got an A in the OS class, too.
A question almost as dangerous as asking about your favourite sports team; what's your favourite Linux distribution?
Ha! A flip answer would be Android as that's the device with a Linux kernel that I use more than anything else by two orders of magnitude, though most people don't consider it a distribution in the common way we talk about them. I'm typing the reply to this question on Chrome running on a Ubuntu/Debian derivative. I'm running a Debian instance on Google compute engine and I have a Fedora machine at home that I use from time to time. I carry a Chomebook around for most of my presentations and feel it's probably the most secure machine I own.
Favorite though? Android.
You spent a long time working with open source and Linux before moving to Google in 2004. What made you want to work with Google?
When I decided to return to full time work after a brief period consulting, Google's offer was the strongest and the most interesting to me. The idea of being able to be Google's 'open source person' and to build the effort from scratch was deeply appealing to me. I also felt that Google was (and is) still doing really interesting computer science and that appealed to me in ways that the other offers didn't.
Not only do you mentor and consult on a variety of different projects, you're also involved with Google Ventures, helping to fund startups, so what is it that you look for in a project? What makes you say: "Yes, I want to help you"?
Well, honestly, I am mostly looking for it to be interesting. For Google Ventures, I am not really in the deal flow so much as I'm brought in on open source issues (which are interesting and legion).
In an interview a few years ago you said, "Google works with the open source community. Sponsorship implies stewardship, and that's a pretty serious thing." Does Google hope to avoid stewardship in the communities it's involved in? Are the two inextricably linked?
I think so. I would rather Google engineers and non-google open source engineers see each other as peers in computer science. We do realize that our broad funding of open source projects can imply stewardship like control of projects, but you know, that's how it goes even if that sort of thing doesn't really correlate.
You once called open source "brutal". What did you mean by that?
Well, I think I was asked why open source works and when you think about how software engineering management works in industry, it shouldn't. Disparate, distributed, non-homogenous teams are extremely difficult to run in a company, but in open source it creates some world-class terrific software. Why is that?
I think that it is because open source projects are able to only work with the productive people and ignore everyone else. That behavior can come across as very harsh or exclusionary, and that's because it is that: brutally harsh and exclusionary of anyone who isn't contributing.
This is why project forking is so important. If a person is rejected from a project for whatever reason, they can fork and take the project in a new direction, and if their ideas and execution is superior to the primary project, that fork becomes the new reality and those people that rejected that developer are now the rejected.
So, I guess what I'm saying is that survival of the fittest as practiced in the open source world is a pretty brutal mechanism, but it works very very well for producing quality software. Boy is it hard on newcomers though...
Fourteen years ago, you edited an O'Reilly book about open source. Has the landscape of open source changed much in those years? Do you think open source will overtake the proprietary model in the future?
The landscape has changed a bit, with the notable demographic difference being that we've seen a growth in the number of people in companies working on open source, and I perceive a slight decline in open source participation in the academy, which I blame on the tech-transfer/bayh-dole patenting process being a real barrier to code licensing. Similarly, some open source coming out of universities and companies simply isn't open source enough as there is a fair amount of side dealing going around on around patents. I'm tempted to say that if it isn't a patent granting license, you should be suspicious, but that's probably a bit extreme a position to take at this time.
Read more from the All Things Open speaker interview series.

Taking the evil of software patents seriously is not an extreme position. It's a very wise decision, until such patents are abolished.
Yes, Android is "open source" but Google only makes occasional code dumps AND takes no outside patches. Hardly a shining beacon of open source community commitment.
Not trying to excuse them for not being really as open as desirable. But at least they don't lock their phones like hell and there are open firmware alternatives.
I'm a middle aged (on the "old" borderline) and I switched to Linux (Ubuntu) several years ago, due to my utter frustration with Windows. I'm not a programmer, have an absolute minimum of computer savvy, and am utterly confused by the jargon of those who are. But I'll say this: Open Source provides me with just about everything I could want (really far more) on my OS, and I'm eternally grateful to those who do participate in writing these programs. I just wish everyone would at least give something like Ubuntu a try. Most would never return to Windows.
open source community allow their products to be developed.
Whats the bet if someone developed a better google search using googles code they would find it had a big nasty legal action pending, a team of nsa copyright lawyers at the front door pretending you had illegally downloaded music/videos (USA business code seems to include underhand acts, spying, and where possible take-downs by any means possible), or provided a storage space for online users to commit crimes (never mind the big 5 who would delete there servers to stop law enforcement and prevent bad PR).
PS: u need a new 'SPAM' security system :-)
the primary project, that fork becomes the new reality and those people that rejected that developer are now the rejected. blog commenting services
Brutal? May be. Fastest developing model? Certainly. With so many developers with equal opportunity, open source works faster than any other model. And that's what makes it so flexible & successful. Same is done at Ephesoft which provides an open source document capture platform. Highly flexible solutions based on the requirements. The same reason why we love android too.

That seems to be the case with Elizabeth Banks, 39, who manages her eating habits like a pro, telling Women's Health, simply, "People ask me how I stay thin, and I'm like, 'When you go to the grocery store, buy more bananas than cookies.' "
And when she does splurge on sweet treats, "[The freezer] is where my Girl Scout cookies are," she shares, adding that the prime location allows her to forget about them – instead of eating them.
But when it's time to prepare for a role, the Walk of Shame star ditches all things white.
"It's essentially a gluten-free diet: no rice, no bread, no pasta," Banks explains. "I'll eat tons of protein and veggies. Also, I just drink water and tea … and alcohol."
Courtesy Women's Health
"Portion control is a real problem," Banks says. "My husband and I always split one appetizer and one entree. I'm sure waiters hate us."
One meal on her must list?
"Who doesn't love meatloaf?" she muses. "My father always made an amazing meatloaf, and I've inherited his skill. Leftover meatloaf in a sandwich? Come on!"

A few years back, C.J. Dempsey started developing properties in the Charleston area after moving from the Chicago area.
With the country in a housing downturn, Dempsey took the deliberate approach. He bankrolled a residence here, refurbished a dwelling there. He even came out with a catchy company name: OHAY, which stands for One House a Year.
Now, with the economy picking up and the developer strengthening his relationship with Jon Goldfarb's Riverland Builders and real estate agency Avalon Co. to rebuild and sell homes in the South Windermere neighborhood west of the Ashley, Dempsey is on something of a roll.
He's up to three, count 'em, three houses in 2013. That's kept him busy as well as made him consider changing the company name, although THAY (for Three Houses a Year) is out of the running, he quips.
The fully remodeled homes this year include 17 Jamaica Drive, which sold this summer; 11 Sheridan, on the market for $525,000; and 108 Chadwick Drive, a four bedroom, 2,555-square-foot house on one level for sale for $775,000. The houses are listed through the business partners' Avalon Co.
The developer and builder enjoy restyling the decades-old homes in South Windermere. Located in West Ashley not far across the Ashley River Bridge, the neighborhood sports dozens of smaller to mid-sized houses built as early as the 1950s. The community benefits from good-sized lots, solid construction and proximate location to Charleston and James Island. The neighborhood entrance runs along the edge of South Windermere shopping plaza. A neighborhood public school, St. Andrews Elementary, is being rebuilt.
Dempsey and Goldfarb stuck with the one house a year approach during the market downturn. But the one or two homes they renewed were enough to excite the home-buying populace.
"What we did early on, it gave people confidence," Goldfarb says.
The business partners typically buy their properties before setting out to revitalize them. They control costs but by no means cut corners.
A case in point involves 108 Chadwick Drive. The house, built in 1955, had one owner. While stylish at the time, 108 Chadwick seemed out of step, with small rooms and dated fixtures and furnishings.
The partners' crew, including noted landscape designer Heather Foley, set to work. They trimmed limbs and brush to highlight backyard oak trees overlooking tranquil marsh while sprucing up the lawn.
"The house is really all about the view," Dempsey says.
Goldfarb and company added two extra rooms on a wing of the house, crafting a master suite complete with soaking tub and extra-large shower in the bathroom.
They reinvigorated the den, modernizing the look while upgrading built-in bookshelves and fireplace.
In what had been a small living room and kitchen, they knocked down walls to open up the entire area while installing an extra-long support beam. They enlarged the living quarters while redesigning the kitchen with stainless steel appliances and an island. As a result of the structural redo, the culinary center now offers open views of the oaks and manicured yard through the living room window.
Just last week, the developer and builder painted the brick exterior a beige color, in part to mask the new red brick of the wing addition that didn't match the older brick on the existing section of the house.
The developer and builder took similar approaches with 17 Jamaica Drive and 11 Sheridan. For one, they added or significantly enlarged the second floor. The 2,100-square-foot Sheridan house now includes two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. They also installed a back deck while adding a doubled-strength wooden fence.
While Dempsey favors modern perks and appliances inside, once in awhile, he's talked out of it. Goldfarb, he says, convinced him to keep a wall nook in the Sheridan house that's reminiscent of the 1950s and 60s. In days gone by, the slightly protruding base in a hallway would have held the telephone, phone book and a set of keys or like baubles.
Dempsey says the real estate market's rebound has played a role in the developer and home builder hastening the renovation pace. But he doesn't see expanding the business to design an entire small neighborhood, for instance.
He and Goldfarb intend to stick with South Windermere and nearby Old Windermere for the revitalization projects.
"You get the old look of the neighborhood, "Dempsey says, "with completely new insides."

Walk a mile in my shoes... and then judge me.
Have you heard this expression? I am sure you have; it's been around for a while. I have often heard it but until recently did not take time to consider the true message.
2012 was quite a year for my family. As my husband so eloquently put it on New Year's Eve, it was one of poetic fashion. We literally lived the meaning of "as one life ends, another begins" saying goodbye to six family members. Our sadness turned to joy, however, as we welcomed our daughter, and first child, Ella, in July. Throw in a few intense visits to the hospital and urgent care for the "healthy" ones and you have one emotional year.
Any one of those events on their own would be cause for acting irrationally. Tie them all together and...hello, overload! I share my personal life with a very select few people and, sometimes, not even them. I tend to work through issues on my own (most often unsuccessfully), but emotions eventually get the best of me. Congratulations, person who was rude to me, you are now the recipient of my emotional tipping point!
Fast forward to a few days ago and my Sunday grocery trip with Ella. After loading groceries in my car, I left my cart in between the cars, rather than taking it to the cart corral a few spaces away. I did this for two reasons:
1. Call me overly cautious, but I didn't want to leave my baby unattended in the car (we've all seen the news stories).
2. Another car pulled into the space diagonal from me and the occupants were having quite an issue getting out of the car - one got out of the front so another could get out of the back. The woman who was in the front then got back in. As they were going through this, access to the cart corral was blocked.
Finally out of the car, the woman who had been in the backseat, shaking her head, took my cart. As she did, two thoughts went through my head: "I'd shake my head, too, if it took that much effort to get out of the car" and "Good, she needed a cart and there it was for her...".
But as I pulled out of the parking lot, I saw her walking into the store cartless. I guess she was shaking her head at me for not taking the cart to the corral.
I tell you both of these stories because on my way home from the grocery store, processing the situation, I began thinking of the expression "Walk a mile in my shoes and then judge me" and the truth it holds.
If that woman had known about the baby in my car, would she have been more understanding? Maybe. Call me optimistic, but I like to think she would have.
I understand my cart story may not fully ring true to the meaning of walking a mile in someone's shoes, but it's close.
As moms, we are vulnerable to quick judgment and opinions we don't ask for.
But we know the woman with the stroller, who just ran us over, might have a soon-to-be hungry, screaming child or she might have just realized there are, in fact, no extra diapers or outfits in the diaper bag!
We've also all been there and offer our sympathetic looks to those deer-in-the-headlights, functioning-on-three-hours-of-sleep new parents with the screaming baby in the restaurant.
As a mom and new parent, I appreciate the courtesy of others who give me a break as I make my way through this new normal.
I know a catastrophic event has not happened to every offensive person, nor is he or she necessarily a new or experienced parent.
But when I feel the anger rising, I try to give the benefit of the doubt, which I probably do too often (much to the frustration of my husband).
I won't lie. it has caused me heartache at times but not enough to make me a cynic about society. At the end of the day, making sense of why someone was rude helps me let go of my grudge. Who knows? Maybe I judged the woman who shook her head at me in the parking lot too quickly. I, too, am guilty of making snap judgments; we all are.
The point is we don't know everyone's story. We don't know why they acted a certain way or said what they said. Does this give someone the right to be rude or inconsiderate?
But reconsider your offender before passing judgment. The person who just cut you off might be going to the hospital to see a loved one who just had a stroke. That person who did not hold the door might have just gotten laid off. The mom who ran into you, well, she might be trying to catch her runaway toddler.
In the end, having a better attitude toward a situation or person will help you. Saying "Have a nice day" or giving a smile might help turn someone's day around. Maybe those kind words or a small gesture are just what that person needed in that moment.
Most of us are familiar with the story of a man saving starfish by throwing them back into the ocean, as a bystander points out the impossible task of making a difference with the miles of beach and millions of starfish. The man throwing starfish responds, "It made a difference to that one."
With all the negativity in the world right now, making a difference to at least one person can have a profound effect. Take the attitude of paying it forward and, as Ghandi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world."
Jenn Seedorf is married with a daughter. Read her Mondays on Greeley Moms.
Congratulations, person who was rude to me, you are now the recipient of my emotional tipping point!

They do not harm corals or invertebrates. Cirrhilabrus wrasses are planktivores, feeding exclusively upon the plentiful plankton harbored by reefs.
They are peaceful in nature, and will coexist happily with other species within the genus Cirrhilabrus - especially when added simultaneously. If you wish to add Cirrhilabrus wrasse to an aquarium that contains another established Cirrhilabrus wrasse, simply divide it temporarily until the fish coexist with no hostility.
They add a diversity of color and activity to the aquarium. These active, bold fish spend their time cruising open water and occasionally slide through rockwork in search of food.
If you add a wrasse from the genus Cirrhilabrus to your aquarium, you'll likely add a male, since males are predominantly collected over juveniles and females (which are virtually identical in appearance, and therefore difficult for collectors to identify).
Be sure to consider the wide selection of species available within the wonderful genus Cirrhilabrus when selecting the next fish for your reef or saltwater fish aquarium.

Google and Samsung working on super high res 10" Nexus tablet
56 Comments
1. Danre (Posts: 85; Member since: 02 Sep 2012)
Go Google and Samsung and give us the best tablet.
17. MeoCao (unregistered)
The biggest problem for Android 10" tablets, especially ones with high resolution, is lack of adapted apps.
With 7" that is less visible as phone apps can be used reasonably well and N7 with its strong sales with Play Store vouchers attracted developers to make apps for it.
Google obviously can't use the same strategy for 10" tablets as this may destroy the market so it's very interesting to see what they are going to do.
29. imkyle (Posts: 1073; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
I agree with this. I had the Xoom for a year and recently got the TF700T and the lacks that support high resolution screens in a bummer.
30. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
yea but did you not just see the other article on here that said google was crackin down on devs to make better and more adaptable apps?
33. MeoCao (unregistered)
This is too little, this will help those developers with little experience and nothing more.
To attract developers to make apps for 10" androids Google must create the market for them. This can be done by offering free vouchers like they did with N7.
35. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
i think you're being a little impatient man, just give things more time...Google is not as "unaware" as you think they are
37. MeoCao (unregistered)
I don't say Google is unaware, they certainly are. But what they are going to do is totally different matter.
Previously Google had the policy : make once use everywhere. But this policy has failed for tablets and works only for phones.
It looks like Google has a change of heart now but it's still unclear how far will they go.
43. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
yea i understand but like you said things are changing so keep lookin for the best :)

Nexus 10
50. Peter98 (Posts: 119; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
Go Google. But why it's Samsung. Go with Asus is better.
53. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
because samsung is the biggest vendor, and they make their own high end parts which keeps costs in line.
Samsung also has the power of name recognition to non-geeks.
As long as the cost isnt crazy, this is a tablet to keep an eye on.
55. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Yeah, Samsung is a more well known name than Asus, so that could have a positive affect. I just can't stop thinking about the Exynos 5 though... I know it's improbable they would use it on this Nexus 10, it's just a wish I'd like to hold on to. I want to see the benchmarks.
2. syedzain (Posts: 175; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)
Ipad is the best tablet now....
But i would love to see the nexus tablet.
3. Cyan3boN (Posts: 444; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
How come the pixel density is still lower for than the NEW ipad
11. cmikeh2 (Posts: 26; Member since: 09 May 2012)
They did funky math. I did the calculations and came up with 298.89 ppi.
21. Brewski (Posts: 351; Member since: 05 Jun 2012)
Just out of curiosity, what formula does one use to calculate pixel density?
23. cmikeh2 (Posts: 26; Member since: 09 May 2012)
You use Pythagorean's Theorem (a^2+b^2 = c^2) to find out the length of the diagonal and then divide by screen size. In this instance the math is:
√(2560^2 + 1600^2)/10.1
42. SkOne (Posts: 95; Member since: 02 May 2012)
Its not, mystery Samsung nexus 299ppi > new iPad 264ppi
24. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Sorry, typo! It's 299
46. SonyXperiaNexus (Posts: 374; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
If only they did this with sony. Imagine a 11 inch tablet with a 1080p HD Bravia Display with 300+ ppi and bravia engine. Not to mention WhiteMagic for brightness and floating touch and also a camera with an XMOR R sensor.Add a sexy design and timescape UI and you have knockout device. But you still need to optimize apps though
47. SonyXperiaNexus (Posts: 374; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
My own comment makes me drool.
4. squallz506 (banned) (Posts: 1075; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
"the tablet will feature a display of 2,560x1,600 at 10.1", giving it a pixel display of 229 PPI. This would make it even higher resolution than the new iPad which has a 9.7" display at 2,048x1,536 (264 PPI). "
Can we get math check? The new tab should be higher than 229 ppi.
9. cmikeh2 (Posts: 26; Member since: 09 May 2012)
298.89 ppi is what I got.
10. Nadr1212 (Posts: 741; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
Not unless the screen is smaller
13. denney (Posts: 98; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
Resolution is higher. Pixel density is lower. The way he wrote the sentence is kind of confusing.
16. denney (Posts: 98; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
Granted, I got a PPI of about 299 in my calcuation....
more specifically:
Where's the math at PA???
5. lyndon420 (Posts: 4395; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)
Shouldn't be too hard to outshine an ipad these days. Give the consumers what they want and sales will rise.
6. No_Nonsense (Posts: 826; Member since: 17 Aug 2012)
And these bunch of idiots won't let this come to India.
8. Nadr1212 (Posts: 741; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
Talk about nonsense
Haha, I couldn't resist
14. No_Nonsense (Posts: 826; Member since: 17 Aug 2012)
What was so non sensible about this post? You must be one of those people who feel US is the only place in the world.
19. MeoCao (unregistered)
N7 is built for Play Store, so they will not bring N7 to where there's no Play Store I guess.
22. No_Nonsense (Posts: 826; Member since: 17 Aug 2012)
Or maybe they could start with a play store here. The one which would sell devices like n7, gnex, etc
27. kanagadeepan (Posts: 922; Member since: 24 Jan 2012)
With China closing the doors for Nexus 7 (for the fear of their death of cheap cost + low quality tablets like Ainol), Google can't ignore India and other asian countries now...
52. VJo003 (Posts: 357; Member since: 11 Mar 2012)
Plz elaborate
7. Nadr1212 (Posts: 741; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
They should make the tablet's screen smaller 4 more pixel density
12. freakatronic (Posts: 9; Member since: 20 Mar 2010)
The pixel density should be 299 PPI, not 229
15. nacho69 (Posts: 21; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
I have every intention of buying a nexus 10, I really like my nexus 7. But My calculations give me 299ppi which is crazy for a tablet. Hopefully they have a 64GB version with micro SD expansion, LTE, good camera, and S4 pro SOC(with adreno320) to run the hi res display smoothly.
18. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
Oh man.. I was hoping ASUS would be the partner for the 10".
20. techguy22 (Posts: 227; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
gimme gimme 299 and im in
dont like sammy much but sure they give me plastic im down.
25. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i'd take a 10 incher Nexus. i hope it's the Manta and i hope it's not overpriced. o:
26. plgladio (Posts: 314; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
Never mind Sammy, Never mind Plastic. Just to tell people out there (Apple believers) that PPI is not there own place they can always be higher, Android can do more than that. Congrats team, you can do it. All the best.
28. animeware (Posts: 24; Member since: 14 May 2012)
If this information is true I will buy this next gen tablet for sure and wait and see how it handles also...... 2560x1600 this is way higher then Blu-Ray Quality on Screen which is 1920x1080 this is prefect tablet everyone should own.....
31. MorePhonesThanNeeded (Posts: 645; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
We have gotten Apple-itis, all this talk of Retina Display, hold on, Apple didn't build any kind of display, they just ordered them from LG, and other IPS high density LCD manufacturers. Can we just get a high quality Tablet, with an excellent no compromise LCD screen, with a smooth as butter Android running the show, 32GB of storage, 2GB of RAM and using the Exynos please, thank you very much.
32. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1488; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
don't really care about a rear camera all those specs make it the perfect tablet already , it would be nice if they add a 3G module like in the tab 2 10.1
34. Cabessius (Posts: 8; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
Nexus 10 is exactly what I´m waiting for. But please, give me the option to pay 20 extra bucks for a micro sd slot.
36. aokde (Posts: 186; Member since: 09 Jul 2012)
Google, please do it with SONY :\!
45. SonyXperiaNexus (Posts: 374; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
'do it'- lol. anyway, A tablet with bravia engine and 300ppi would be awesome.
40. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
wow if a nexus 10" tablet will be release it will be a dream come true to android folks!!
android's tablet market is still tailing behind apple's iPad! i really dont know why...
i like the interface of the android UI not the customize one!
i wish it will be true!!! and should be price lower than iPad!
like microsoft will do (i think)!!! it is price lower than iPad and rumored to be at $399 for the 32GB version and this W8 RT tablet will be selling hot to students and young profs coz of the microsoft ecosystem!!!
i hope nexus 10" the best!!
41. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
just my thought... isn't it kinda unfair to other android tablet? that a lot of nexuses/nexi will be release by samsung?
the nexus s. galaxy nexus, the rumored nexus 2 and now this?
wouldn't it be great to have a sony, Motorola, Asus, Acer or even HTC tablet?
i mean even samsung has great tech but there's a lot of new tech out there!! like the new sharp display! it is awesome tech! at least a great comparison to AMOLED of samsung!
44. SonyXperiaNexus (Posts: 374; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
A Tablet with an SAMOLED screen and approx 300 ppi ! Take my Money
48. JKING_25 (Posts: 53; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
I hope they destroy the iPad 3, but my money is reserved for the Microsoft Surface.
51. boss_king (Posts: 9; Member since: 27 Sep 2012)
I see this being a real big hit google is smart knowing the GALAXY brand is selling like hot cakes (Note 10.1) may have all its features combined to make a pure Android tablet device with better hardware, better Screen, im rooting for this bad boy.
54. MartyK (Posts: 819; Member since: 11 Apr 2012)
Well, the real math is this:
Hold off on buy the Galaxy Note 10.1 and wait for this table, or buy the Note 10.1 in hope to sell it later....hahahahah
56. Nafiz (Posts: 13; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
hmm,, 2013,,, Im waiting November-December to buy a tablet -___-
you come early 2013.. ohh my my,,, it'll be looooooooooong if I'm waiting it !!!!!

Options offered for Jefferson Co. budget
February 16, 2013
CHARLES TOWN — Commissioners in Jefferson County were presented with seven different budget options for the fiscal year 2013-2014....
so does that mean that if you do not pay we should let their house burn or refuse to take them to the hospital? That is simply not acceptable?

Shoryer is a fool. He wants to drop all funding for the Jefferson County Emergency Agency which includes the funding for your fire and EMS companies and replace it with a fire/EMS fee instead. What would that fee be it would be in the neighborhood of $300.00 per household and that is not for full paid service it is for what we have now plus 9 additional personnel. You would still have ambulance transport fees. Some had a fit about $110 fee. And as far as carryovers lets ask about all the money, over 14 million, that is saved for the courthouse project that has been sitting for years. do we need a courthouse project I say no we need better funding of our Fire and EMS service.

No raises and no increase to cover the rise in insurance costs. Sounds like real life - deal with it.

All of them are insanely gorgeous!!! Well, except for Eggnogaholic. As much as I love eggnog, it just doesn't do it for me. I usually don't gravitate towards the red and green glitters, but You're a Mean One is awesomeness! The black hearts make it totally different. Want, Want, Want!!!ReplyDelete
These are all so beautiful. You make every polish look beautiful. I envy you :)ReplyDelete
Eight Crazy Nights and You're A Mean One are amazing. Im always drawn to blue glitter though :)ReplyDelete
Eggnogoholic, Eight Crazy Night and Heirloom are my favs from this collection!!!!!:)ReplyDelete
There are some great polishes in this collection! I love the black hearts in "You're a Mean One"! and Fathomless is amazing!ReplyDelete
And there was I think I didn't need any new indie polishes...sigh, why there's just so much pretty nail polish around? :D I'm not compaining in all seriousness, of course :D My wallet sometimes does, though))ReplyDelete
Heirloom looks GORGEOUS!! Antique Victorian inspired? A thousand times YES! I must. buy. now. I am a little torn on Visions of Sugarplums, however. Yes, it looks beautiful; I am just not sure it's a must-have for me. How amazing is it in person?
thanks for the swatches and post!! =)
It's pretty darn beautiful in person!Delete
LOL - ok thanks. Well then, I guess I will JUST HAVE to pick that one up too! =) oh no......ReplyDelete
Haha, oh no, didn't mean to twist your arm or anything... lolDelete
LOL - haha, no. No real arm twisting required for me to think I absolutely, without-a-doubt, cannot live without a polish!! I think I might have a problem.... =)Delete
I cant really choose one, all of them are beautiful.
I think I love just about all of them! You're A Mean One might be my favorite. It's so pretty and unique too. All of these are amazing though.ReplyDelete
Wow, I really love Fathomless and Heirloom! Gorgeous!ReplyDelete
You are a swatching GENIUS! I wanted ones I never wanted before... eek! I love your swatch of Fathomless, I really do want to live there. Hahaha. And I'm loving Eggnogoholic, Heirloom, Hot Toddy and Long Winter's Nap too. Sarah, you pictures are stunning. Thank you!ReplyDelete
I don't think I've ever fallen in love with an entire polish collection before, usually there's a polish or two I'm not a fan of. But this Season of Sparkle seems to have done it! I especially love Eggnogoholic. Thanks for sharing!!ReplyDelete
Those are incredible! I particularly like her jelly glitters. The eggnog-inspired one is actually rather refined and elegant instead of fun and loud (though I like those kinds of glitters, too).
I was a bit taken aback at the brand's name, though; I've used "girls bits" to refer to, well ... *bits*, if you get my drift! :D
I agree about Eggnogoholic! Like indie polish for rich women at holiday parties, haha.
& yes it is a bit cheeky, I agree! Quite entertaining though. :D
Dang autocorrect! :: shakes fist :: I meant "girl-y" not "girl-s".ReplyDelete
Well done, as always Sarah. Thank you so much for posting. I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed them all.ReplyDelete
Wow....these are so awesome! I am really loving Eggnogoholic, but these are all so gorgeous and unique!!ReplyDelete
Sarah, I love coming to your blog (and Pointless Cafe) for beautiful but REAL swatches and honesty about application. I daresay, I really need Hot Toddy and Fathomless so badly! I already have three of the others and they did not disappoint!ReplyDelete
Wow!!! These nail colors are all gorgeous. They all seem elegant and classy. These nail colors are perfect for any occasion.ReplyDelete
Long Winter's Nap!!!! LOVE ITReplyDelete
divine!! ;-)
perfection !
am following you now , hope you will follow back !
I LOVE these!! The last three are just okay, but the first six? WANT WANT WANTReplyDelete
I love ♪You're a Mean One...♪ because I'm mean too :D
I love them all, specially the last one!ReplyDelete
Eggnogoholic looks amazing!ReplyDelete
Eggnogoholic is so gorgeous! I love it (:ReplyDelete
I hate eggnog, but Eggnogoholic looks so classy and versatile. I love the blue and grey together if Long Winter's Nap. Fathomless and Visions of Sugar Plums are my other favorites.ReplyDelete
Amazing Winter manicure!!
Ooooh, I need need NEED Eggnogoholic and Fathomless!ReplyDelete
I just picked up Heirloom - I love it so much!! I layer it over taupes/greiges too, like Essie Chinchilly. Although I have to admit, in your swatch there appear to be more colors in the glitter mix, like pinks and blues, that I don't see on my nails. Although that might just be the reflection off the foil glitters. In any event, it is a fantastic topper and definitely gives an antique effect, which I love. Thanks for showing Heirloom off so beautifully that I just had to buy! =)ReplyDelete

The HP slate PC that Steve Ballmer showed off in the Microsoft keynote at the recent CES 2010 will run Windows 7 when it comes out later this year; the
"There's really two separate sections of the market," says McKinney. "Coming down from the desktop to the notebook to the netbook it's really about 'what is the right level of mobility?'.
"The slate is Windows 7 so it's coming from that end; what's the next thing beyond the netbook that gives me portability, access usability… the smartbook is coming from the other side, from phones, and it's a step up.
"A smartbook is primarily in the cloud, it's primarily about connectivity, I'm not really running local apps, I'm running widgets that access my information in the cloud versus a netbook with Windows 7, x86 and I'm running client apps.
"The difference being that with a netbook I'm going to get four hours of battery life and with a smartbook I'm going to get 20 hours of battery life - and it acts like a phone. I can have all my apps running, I get the advantage of all the Android apps, it's always on – I don't have any boot time so I open the lid, boom it's running.
"Think of it as a phone – but your iPhone doesn't last 20 hours, your Google Android phone doesn't last for 20 hours. I've this dinky little ARM processor and I've got all this space; you can put a big honking battery in.
"The trade-off is weight so you can't go crazy with it. But for the first time you can create a device that's always connected – particularly for those people who are cloud based; you've got your Gmail account and your calendars online…"
Content consumption
The slate is all about content consumption, rather than being a general-purpose computer, explains McKinney; "Touch is not the universal solution for everybody, it's not going to replace the keyboard, it's not going to replace other kinds of interfaces".
And no, it's not an attempt to rush something out to cash in on the Apple hype. "This isn't a reaction to 'oh my God, the fruit company's doing something, hurry up and let's do something'. We started the work on this five years ago."
In fact the slate goes back to an ereader prototype that HP Labs produced, with a touch strip for scrolling; the feedback from users was that they didn't want a device that only did one thing – they wanted to be able to write on the screen and they wanted to play video. "You've got all this great content and it's not just text; it's imagery, it's video, it's audio. Look at Hulu and the whole role of video in peoples' lives now," says McKinney; "the world is a rich media world and people don't want a device that cuts out half the world."
The colour screen you need for that meant e-ink was out the of the question (McKinney says he's stopped waiting for the promised colour e-ink screens), although he confirms that HP is working with Conde Nast and other publishing companies on creating content for the slate.
Time and tablets
So why is the slate coming out this year? "There's a couple of things that have happened," McKinney claims. "One is Moore's Law getting down to a price point; delivering a $5,000 device is not very useful. The available technology of touch: the technology guys like NTrig have built touch mechanisms I can put on to those kind of platforms.
"Operating systems: Windows 7. It's all coming together and converging. We've been out there for almost three years, really evangelising touch, getting the message out there that touch is useful. You can look back and see all the pieces; touch and tablet computing and wireless connectivity, and battery improvements, getting to the right price point, the right mix just at the right time. From my perspective, the difference between a good idea and great idea is timing."
Talking of HP's heritage in slate computing, there could be good news for fans of HP's original tablet PC and of what we consider to be the very first netbook, the flash-based OmniBook 300, which had a mouse on an extending stick.
"The TC1100 and the OmniBook 300 are the most popular products we get requests for," McKinney told us, as he does every time we mention them – but this time he added, "And we listen to our customers".
Smartbook is a registered trademark of Smartbook AG, but in this interview McKinney uses smartbook as a generic term for a device which falls between smartphone and netbook

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - The elusive second goal against rival Incline never found net, and as a result, the North Tahoe boys soccer team will have to be content with a No. 3 seed in the state championship tournament.
The Lakers, seeded fourth in the Northern Division III regionals due to a funky power rankings system, nearly scored the equalizing goal on several occasions in their regional semifinal against top-seeded Incline on Friday. But in the end the Highlanders held on for the 2-1 victory.
Incline, which hosted the tournament, went on to defeat Whittell 3-0 the following day for the regional title, and top Northern seed entering state. The Lakers secured a state championship berth with a 5-2 win over Yerington on Saturday.
"We just missed," North Tahoe head coach Beto Alcaraz said of the Lakers' semifinal loss. "We had a lot of close goals, but if you don't put them in, they don't count."
Despite the Lakers' high energy, which was further stoked by a lively crowd of supporters, the Highlanders jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead after a goal by Luis Munoz in the seventh minute.
The hosts added to the lead with a goal by Kyle Reeves in the 28th minute.
The deficit did not dampen North Tahoe's spirits, however. About five minutes later, sophomore Lucas Early booted the rebound of a corner kick out of the air and into the back of the net to cut the Incline lead in half.
North Tahoe came out hard in the second half, pressuring the Incline goal with a relentless offensive attack. But the tying goal never came as the Highlanders defended their goal with tenacity until the final whistle.
"We pressured well, we challenged balls, we hustled everywhere and we were passing well," Alcaraz said. "The only thing is we didn't finish."
The Lakers received a solid performance from backup goalie Jose Chavez, who replaced starter Omar Vargas after the junior keeper was kicked in the head midway through the first half.
The next day in the consolation final, Danny Garcia scored two goals to help lift North Tahoe to a 5-2 win over third-seeded Yerington. Eduardo Martinez, Nico Monforte and Garrett Driller added a goal apiece in the win.

The Fort Lewis College women�s soccer recruiting class added another feather in its 2013 cap last week, adding Keisha Green of Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock, Texas, to the fold.
Green brings versatility to the Skyhawks, who missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008 despite a 13-4-3 record last year. She played center back, outside midfielder and forward last year for the Raiders and helped Cedar Ridge win the 2009 Texas DI state championship.
�Not only is she an excellent student, but she will add to an already potent and accomplished crew of attacking players,� FLC head coach Damian Clarke said in a news release.
�We expect Keisha to play forward, but she could also play at center back or in a wide midfield position. She is a player with a very athletic build capable of blowing by opposition and being quite physical while doing so.�
Green is one of seven players to sign on FLC�s dotted line of late. Green joins Lonestar Soccer Club teammate Haleigh Macomb along with Carolyn Archer, Shannon Harpham, Ana Moran, Courtney Riley and Kirsten Ryan in this year�s recruiting class.
Riley is the younger sister of current FLC women�s soccer player and defender Lauren Riley.
The Skyhawks lost just three players to graduation last year � midfielders Elena Benavides and Serena Mancha and defender Rachael Budagher.

Dogs have long been praised for their ability to sniff out trouble.
Now, a new cancer detection wave sweeping the nation has turned to man's best friend in order to keep dogs' best friends around a little longer.
The odor detection method is also being used to help detect early stages of cancer in fire fighters.
"We are training dogs to sniff out and detect cancer in people," said Cindy Ell, Executive Director of the Fire Fighter Cancer Foundation, and a retired firefighter, critical care paramedic and cancer survivor. "Cancer cells emit different metabolic waste products than normal cells. Their presence in cancer patients' exhaled breath, blood, or urine is so great that they can be detected by a dog's keen sense of smell, even in the early stages of disease."
Ell joined DogE911 founder Genete Bowen during a recent training and information seminar at the Pimlico Rural Fire Department to raise awareness and inform local firefighters about this new concept of early cancer detection, working to extinguish fire fighter cancer.
According to Ell, the FFCF is exploring the use of early detection technology and methods to increase the proficiency of cancer and occupational disease identification.
"We are collecting breath samples for research in early cancer detection and developing companion programs to offer cancer prevention lifestyle options," she said.
FFCF in partnership with CancerDogs is conducting a research trial using specially trained dogs and their scent detection ability.
"Cancer cells emit a different metabolic waste product than normal cells and dogs have the olfactory ability to sniff these odors out and hopefully catch cancer in patients early enough in the disease."
With training sniffer dogs can detect early stages of breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian carcinoma and breast cancer, according to the FFCF website.
Pimlico firefighter Matt Bailey served as Ell's cancer test subject for the demonstration.
"If there is a way to detect cancer in the early stages, having dogs like this is something good to have," he said. "Anything that might help is good."

Hi There!
I'm from Brazil and I have three XTI-4000, very good powers! However, one of them from now has a "scratch" noise on left channel, even with gain knobs at zero. And when it turned off, it have a noise discharge on that same channel. Despite that, the amplifier works fine. Could it be a bad contact on protections relays? Is that a known problem?
Best regards!

When was the amp manufactered? What is the serial number?
Thanks for your response!
I really need some help on my XTI-4000 amps.
I have 3 of them, 2 bought in 2009 (1 in 08/2009 serial # 8001675605, 1 in 11/2009 serial # 8001689605) e 1 bought this year (11/2010 serial # 8500331741). The amps is very little used, once in a year in december, for a annual party. This year, I put two amps (both from 2009) to work and, after minutes, one of them start to play a "scratch" noise on left channel. This one is playing with a pair of JBL JRX-115. Note that is occur even with the volume knobs at zero.
Afraid to blow drivers of JRX-115, I put this one to play subs (pair of JRX-118S) and put the another one to play on JRX-115. The noise of first one continue, even now playing on JRX-118S, naturally.
However, yesterday the second one starts same thing, playing same "scratch" noise on left channel. Now I have two amps with same problem on left channel.
I've disconnected the audio cables from in and left the amps with knobs at zero level and the noise continue. Switch from one JRX-115 to another and noise follows the channel.
What might be happening? Why I don't have this on right channel? Any tip to solve this?
I'm afraid that amps stop working at the party, that will be at december, 18. I trust in Crown and I bought these amps because that.
Please, help me!
Thanks a lot!!
Posted 29 November 2010 - 10:36 PM
This symptom isn't something I've heard of before. You could try opening the top cover of the amp and re-seating the connector plug on the main board that goes to the display board.

Hi, Kevin, its me again... One year later...
Last year, after the problems reported, the equipment was used in the annual party and they worked without any problems. I thought it was a fleeting thing.
This year again, one of them, after a few minutes on, gives a loud speakers noise, like a strong electrical discharge, the red LED lights up and then the amp shuts down by its own.
The problem happens only on amps purchased in 2009. The 2010 amp has no problem. What can this be? Is there anything I can do, like try to remove the front panel from amp from 2010 and placing in the 2009?
There was any modification in the power supply circuit from 2009 to 2010 models?
Do you want that I make a video from the problem for you to take a look? It is intermittent. Sometimes spends hours without showing and then immediately gives a strong noise and turns off.
Our annual party will take place on December 17 and again I am desperate with the equipment.
If you can help me, I'd be very pleased!!

It's not a scene out of Girls, but it could be.
In Stone Fox Bride's spring lookbook, Jemima Kirke – who plays Jessa, an English-born bohemian on the HBO series – models the bridal boutique's offerings while locking lips with jewelry designer Pamela Love.
Aside from playing a same-sex bride, Kirke, 27, also poses in another look from the spring 2013 collection – a see-through, floor-length lace dress called "The Jemima," with nothing underneath.
Stone Fox Bride says this collection is aimed at brides who aren't "into uptown. Or anything puffy or fluffy." Owner Molly Guy told Into the Gloss that while "Jemima is a painter-turned-actress who believes that, in her past life, she was a child prostitute and junkie. (In real life she wears fancy cashmere sweaters and is a Brooklyn mother-of-two married to a nice Jewish lawyer.)"
In November, Kirke welcomed her second child, son Memphis, with husband Michael Mosberg.

Football Adds Two Transfers to 2014 Roster
Ball State football has added two transfers to the 2014 roster, according to Cardinals' head coach Pete Lembo.
Bruce Heggie, a 2013 graduate of Notre Dame, and Julian Jackson, a graduate of El Camino Community College, have joined the Cardinals and will be eligible to compete in the 2014 season.
"We are pleased to welcome Bruce and Julian to the Ball State football family," Lembo said. "It has been a real pleasure getting to know both young men and their families over the last several months. Both of these student-athletes are here because they really liked how they fit in with our players and coaches when they visited the campus. They are also excited about the academic opportunities the university has to offer. The addition of two mature defensive linemen should increase the competition for playing time and our depth when preseason camp begins in late July."
Heggie, who was announced as part of the school's recruiting class in February, will have one year of eligibility for the Cardinals. He spent four seasons at Notre Dame and played in four games as a senior in 2013. Heggie graduated from Mount Dora High School in Florida where he played defensive end and tight end. He registered four sacks as a senior and caught 16 passes for 160 yards and three touchdowns. The son of Bruce and Susan Heggie, he ranked 10th in his high school class with a 4.2 grade-point average. His father played defensive end at Florida State from 1983-86. Heggie is 6-5, 275 lbs., and will be a fifth-year senior at Ball State.
Jackson completed his second season at El Camino College in 2013 and tallied 23 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries. Named the team's Most Improved Player in his second year, Jackson was an All-Central Conference Second Team selection. He graduated from Beverly Hills High School in California where he was named the school's Outstanding Athlete of the Year as a senior. A three-year starter, Jackson was an All-Ocean League First Team choice as a senior and named his high school team's Defensive Most Valuable Player. The son of Ernest Cheatham and Wanda Jackson, he also competed in wrestling and track at Beverly Hills.
Ball State finished the 2013 season with a 10-3 overall record and played in the GoDaddy Bowl, marking only the second time in school history the Cardinals have competed in bowl games in back-to-back seasons after playing in the Beef 'O' Brady's St. Petersburg Bowl after the 2012 campaign. The Cardinals will open the 2014 season Sat., Aug. 30, with a home game vs. Colgate at Scheumann Stadium.

SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald
Durango�s founding fathers � and mothers � recited short histories of their contributions to the creation and development of the city Saturday at Greenmount Cemetery as part of the fifth annual Durango Heritage Celebration.
Re-enactors included Durango Mayor Doug Lyon, Mayor Pro-tem Dick White, Councilor Sweetie Marbury, Duane A. Smith and others dressed in Victorian attire. They presented their characters to a group of about 50 people, some also dressed in costumes, as they moved to each of the character�s grave sites.
Much of what became Durango started two miles north in Animas City, which eventually lost its significance when the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad decided to create its own town, Durango.
One notable character of early Durango was Estelle Camp, wife of Durango�s first banker, Alfred P. Camp.
�I was known for myself, not just my husband,� said Suzanne Parker in the guise of Mrs. Camp.
Camp, a native of New York state, attended Cornell University (though she didn�t graduate) and was a strong force in the Durango community, Parker said.
Camp was one of the founders of the City Improvement Society, which spurred planting trees such as those in the median on East Third Avenue, Parker told the crowd in character.
Camp also was one of the women responsible for helping to get Mesa Verde a national park designation in 1906. She served on the board of directors of her husband�s bank, what now is First National Bank of Durango. Parker is chairwoman of the Durango Heritage Steering Committee.
Lyon portrayed Thomas Rockwood, a hotel manager who became a leader in area real estate and insurance, including founding the town of Rockwood, now a stop on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
�Rockwood� told the crowd that one of his ancestors beat Henry VIII at chess, was knighted by the temperamental king and then left for Massachusetts, just in case.
Kristi Nelson Cohen portrayed Belle Short, who married Alva Short, who farmed on Florida Mesa, among other activities.
The Shorts �loved the four seasons (and) the blue skies� of Durango. Mrs. Short died before her husband, who himself died in 1978 at age 99.
�Woodman� John Fiorini was represented by Duane Fiorini of Family Craft Monuments, formerly known as Durango Monument Works.
Sweetie Marbury was Amelia Weightman, and Miki Harder was Elly Chapman.
Historian Smith, also in character, led the group from monument to monument. He told the group that Durango actually has two cemeteries (the first one was in Animas City). But when Durango was founded in 1880, Greenmount was created.
Among the visitors were Michael and Barbara Donovan of St. Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada. The Donovans own a late Victorian/early Edwardian bed and breakfast and often have hosted period events. Barbara Donovan said she made the costumes they wore Saturday. This was their first Victorian event away from home, and �we�re enjoying ourselves thoroughly.�
