Earlier in this chapter we took a look at making contrast corrections to shots here inside of Adobes SpeedGrade. Well, in this movie I want to talk about the cousin of the contrast correction and that is of course is the color correction. And if you're following along with the exercise files be sure to open up this Timeline called 03_03_colorcorrections. Now let's go ahead and take a look at this first shot in the Timeline and it's a pretty cool looking shot of a lizard, but what strikes me about it is that appears to have sort of a blue kind of purplish color cast to it, but I of course want to verify that by taking a look at my scopes. So I'm going to open up the Waveform by pressing W on the keyboard and I'm also going to open up the Vectorscope by pressing V.
Let's start up by taking a look at the Waveform. Over here I have traced for the three primary channels; red, green and blue, and if you notice this portion of trace on all three channels, right here on the blue channel, it appears to be elevated over the green and red traces indicating that I have sort of a blue, kind of purplish color cast to the shot. And if I take a look at the Vectorscope, you'll notice that I have a large portion of trace, this part right here, pointed out towards the blue area of the scope. Both of these things combined verify what my eyes are telling me, that I have sort of a blue kind of purplish color cast to the shot. So of course I want to go ahead and neutralize this color cast and the way I'm going to do that is by coming down to Look tab here and then to the Overall tab.
In just a moment, we'll talk about using the three different color wheels right here, in the middle of the Overall tab. But for right now, I want to show you how we can make a color correction by using the sliders here at the top of the Overall tab. But before you make a color correction, it's always a good idea to make a contrast or exposure correction first. As you adjust contrast, you potentially change where in the tonal range a color cast is occurring. So it's always a good idea to first make a contrast or exposure correction before making a color correction. So for this shot, the way I'm going to make the exposure or contrast correction is by using a slider right here called Contrast, and I'm going to drag to the right just a little bit just to increase the contrast and sort of deepen up the blacks in the shot.
Something like that works just fine, maybe back off just a touch. Okay, that's working pretty well. Now to neutralize the color cast, I'm going to start here with the Temperature slider, and I'm going to drag to the right over towards to the orange part of the slider, and remember, you can always hold down the Shift key on your keyboard while you drag to change your parameter faster. So I'm going to drag up to a value of 22, maybe 21. Yeah, that's looking pretty good. And then using the Hue control right here, I'm going to drag to the left to add a little bit of green back into the shot, maybe a value of around .5, .6 or so. That's looking pretty good.
Now up here on the trace you'll notice that the red, green and blue channels, especially this clump of trace right here in the middle are all in relative balance with each other, indicating that I've neutralized a large portion of that sort of blue, sort of purplish color cast. Now as you are color correcting, just keep in mind, in the real world there is no such thing as a perfectly neutral image. You'll notice the peak of the red trace is a little elevated over the green and blue traces right here. That's okay. The shot looks much better. And to show you the difference between the original shot and the corrected shot, I'm going to go ahead and press 0 key on the keyboard number pad.
So here's the original shot, and then the corrected shot; the original shot and then the corrected shot, and I like the corrected shot much better because it doesn't have sort of that blue purplish color cast. Okay, so now that we fixed the first shot in this Timeline, let's go ahead and navigate down to the second shot and this is also a cool shot of a lizard, but you'll notice that it has an obvious purple color cast to it. Over here on Waverform, notice that the blue trace is elevated over the red and green traces and that the red trace is elevated over the green trace. Both of these factors combined indicate that I have a purple color cast in the shot. Also if you take a look at the Vectorscope, you'll notice that most of the trace is pointed up here in the red sort of purple area, once again, indicating that the shot has an obvious purple color cast.
So of course, we want to go ahead and neutralize this purple color cast, and the way we are going to do that is by coming down to the Look tab and then to the Overall tab. But instead of using the sliders here at the top of the Overall tab, we are going to use the three primary color balance controls right here. Now of course, before you actually make a color correction, it's a good idea to make contrast corrections first. So I'm just going to make an ever so slight contrast correction by coming in here to my to Gamma or Midtone control, dragging up just like that. Okay, so that looking pretty good and now I'm ready to make the color correction. The thing you need to know is that to neutralize a color cast you need to add in color from the opposite side of the color wheel.
And fortunately SpeedGrade has a great way to visualize this. If you take a look at the color balance controls right here, you'll notice that if you had a purple color cast, right here on the color wheel, you need to add in green or sort of yellow from this side of the wheel to neutralize that color cast. So on this shot, I'm going to go ahead and start in the Midtones or Gamma control, and why am I doing that? Well, because most of the imbalance is happening here in sort of the middle part of the traces. So let me go ahead and add in a little bit yellow-green by dragging here on my Gamma or Midtone control, something like that, and I'm trying to get the traces on the Waveform to be relatively equal. Something like that is working.
Next let's come over to the Gain control and repeat that process by dragging out towards the yellow-green part of the color wheel, something like that is working pretty well. And if you take a look at the Waveform, you'll now notice that all three traces are in relative alignment with one another. And as I mentioned, in the real world there's no such thing as a perfectly neutral image. And while you are trying to get the traces to be relatively equal, you need to use your eyes and actually look at the image and adjust your corrections to taste. Okay, so now that we've made the correction, let's go ahead and toggle the grade on and off by using the 0 key on the keyboard number pad. So here's the original shot and then the corrected shot; the original shot and then the corrected shot.
And I think you'll agree that the corrected shot is a whole lot more neutral and we've eliminated that purple color cast. Finally, the last thing that I want to share with you about making color corrections inside of Adobes SpeedGrade is that you have a whole another level of granular control to making color corrections. And what I mean is that so far we've been making color corrections, as well as contrast corrections here on the Overall tab of the Look tab. But you also have the Shadows, Midtones and Highlights tabs, and these three tabs for the different parts of the tonal range give you curve like control over making very subtle adjustments to those parts of the tonal range, and what I mean, for example, here on the Highlights tab is that we have Low-Highlights, Mid-Highlights and High-Highlights.
On the Midtones tab, Low-Midtones, Mid-Midtones and High-Midtones. And I think you get the idea on the Shadows tab. Low-Shadows, Mid-Shadows and High-Shadows. If I come back over here to the Highlights tab, I can make a correction that is very subtle and only targets a very small portion of just the highlights. So I've noticed here on this image that I still have a little bit of a purple color cast here in the Highlights. And what I'm going to do is come into the Midtones Highlights control, this guy right here or the Gamma control, and drag over towards yellow-green, ever so subtly, just to eliminate even more of that purple color cast. Okay, that's looking pretty good to me.
Okay, so there are the essentials of making color corrections inside of Adobe SpeedGrade, and there are few different ways that you can make color corrections. You can use the sliders on the Overall tab, as we did, you can use the Color Balance controls, but for even more granular control you can come into the three tabs for the different parts of the tonal range and make curve like corrections when you need to eliminate very subtle color casts.

While his coach and GM await Decision Day, Anthony Calvillo faces Operation Day.
The 40-year old Allstar QB is undergoing surgery on his left (non-throwing) shoulder to repair a muscle tear suffered early in the season.
Calvillo adjusted his delivery to minimize the pain, coming "over the top" more with a release that at times seemed to increase his velocity.
Coach Marc Trestman and GM Jim Popp are fully expecting that AC will return in 2013, after a season in which he played through the pain but his receiver corps was sent through a revolving door of injuries.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Elefant Salzburg
Nice hotel in the center of the old town, a block from the Christmas Market. The restaurant is excellent and the room nice. We had a window to the street but it has double windows. Hot water is hot but low pressure. Wifi reception poor. It worked if I periodically went over by the elevator although the desk clerk did warn me about this.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Elefant Salzburg
Great location, atmosphere and service!
We have just returned from a 2 night stay at the Hotel Elefant in Salzburg.
The hotel is located in the alstadt (old town) pedestrian area of Salzburg so it is very quiet but right in the center of all the activity and sights. We were traveling with our 2 children so we had a large double room with a sofa sleeper for the kids. Breakfast was wonderful and we had one dinner at the hotel which was excellent. We sat at the outside tables which is so fun!
We really enjoyed staying at this hotel. The atmosphere & furnishings are "old world" but there is a living area which has tv and internet access if you chose to be a part of the modern world!! The air conditioning worked very well as we needed a/c in July! Our bathroom was quite large and nice.
The front desk was very helpful with questions & set up an evening concert at the fortress for us. The hotel parked our car for us in the garage.
A very good choice for our family. We would stay at the Hotel Elefant again when visiting Salzburg!!
Location location location
We stayed just after New Year 2005 and believe you just can't beat a location in the middle of the Old Town in a pretty quiet street just down from the Rathaus. All of the staff were friendly -- a couple of them went out of their way to suggest ideas or look after us at breakfast. The 2 rooms we had were clean and comfortable and larger than we thought for an Old Town hotel. One had a great view and the other not -- remember to ask for one if that makes a difference -- it did to us.
It was a comfortable place to stay and unless you're looking for a luxury 5 star chateau, this is well worth a look. We'd go back again!
Perfect location
Our first time in Salzburg we were pleasantly surprised by the location of the hotel, which was perfect. 2 minute walk to the Christmas market and directly off of a very charming street/shopping area. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.
Our room was very small, but bed and linen were comfortable and clean.
I feel the hotel is above average for a 3 star, but the price definately reflects a 4-5 star.
I would definatley recommend the hotel's restaurant which was excellent and convenient, although closed on Tuesdays.
I would recommend this hotel, but next visit we will probably try another hotel.
Always a good experience at the Elefant
I've stayed at the Elefant twice, and have recommended it to friends without reservation. Both times I stayed, the room was charming, clean and comfortable. The concierge scored concert tickets for us, which gave us the best seats in the house. The location is fantastic, being within walking distance of everthing we wanted to see in Salzburg, and is on a cobbled street full of charm.The breakfast was bountiful and delicious. Yes, the lobby is small, but I don't hang out in hotel lobbies. There are lots of nooks and crannies at the Elefant for a quiet read, etc. We stayed in summer, and the airconditioning worked a treat.
Loved the elefant
What can i say ! Have now stayed at the elefant 3 times. The rooms are full of charm and spotless. The staff are beyond reproach and will do anything to help . The owners always make time to talk to you and are very friendly. The food in the resturant is 100% fresh , natural ,austrian and fantastic .... breakfast was always a treat. On my very first visit there we were delayed by adout 3 hours.... arrived at about 11:00 p.m. and they had kept the resturant open for us ... what service !!!!
Will not use any other hotel.
Great location, nice room; some service lapses
We were booked here by our travel agent who loves this hotel. The location cannot be beat--right smack in town. The front office staff were cordial, and the room itself was charming EXCEPT that when we arrived the room had not been made up from previous occupants--dirty linen, no towels, etc. We asked respectfully that it be remedied and went out for quite a while--but no luck, as apparently the housekeeping staff had departed. That evening we persuaded the evening manager to locate clean linens for us and we changed the bedding, towels etc. Seems a small matter but the price is definitely high for self-catering!
There are other better choices
We stayed 3 days in the Elephant over Christmas with 2 elementary school aged children. This was my 5th visit to Salzburg so I am somewhat of a veteran. We stayed at the Elephant for the first timedue to location and the family suite. Upon arrival I, too, agree with the previous respondent in that decor for the lobby was very much office like and totally lacked charm and elegance deserving of such a lovely city. Our accomodations were a huge disappointment. For 350 Euro a night for the penthouse suite we found it dirty, hodge podge decor, stained couches, a mini kitchen w/ cooktop, oven and refrigerator that contained no cooking OR eating utensils. Furthermore, the room service was minimal, no fresh bars of soap (reused old ones that were only face sized not bath sized) and no shampoo like most Best Westerns provide.
The breakfast was lovely and the Christmas Eve dinner was quite nice but that was about it. The restaurant at this hotel was closed 2 days out of our stay of 3 so some future planned was needed which I was aware of before departing. I think for the terrible price we paid for the penthouse suite we were certainly taken advantage of. When I brought this up upon checkout I was told, "I"ll make the manager aware of it." I would have prefered to stay at the Weiss Taube. Next time I will or if you care to drive 20 mins I love the Jagdoff (also Best Western but more like a Best Western). Location can't be everything.
Elefant could have more character
I have to admit that I was slightly disappointed with the Elefant. Its central location cannot be beaten, the staff are extremely friendly and our room was quite nice - even though our 'view' was a blank wall less than two feet away. However I'd hoped the hotel would have had more character than it did. The lobby is very sterile - it could be in any office block. The hotel is not cheap and yet I've stayed in hotels which cost less but felt more luxurious.
Loved the Elefant!
Can't beat the location of this hotel and because it's located in the heart of the old city it's quiet! The rooms are charming; the bathrooms small but extremely well equiped--we were told the hotel underwent renovation a year ago and the bathrooms reflect this. Couldn't get over the generous breakfast served each morning--included in the price.
Would stay here again--we were sad to leave.
It Can't Get Any Better Than This
This is the ultimate Salzburg Hotel. Our room was charming, with down pillows and duvets. The street the hotel is on evokes a sense of history. The staff are helpful and friendly. The concierage will do anything from booking reservations, providing umbrellas or offering temporary eyeglasses to make your stay perfect. If you're driving, parking is provided at a significantly discounted rate. The food at lunch and dinner is outstanding and breakfast is enough to make you want to wake up. Location is perfect. May 2003

We have just come back from a lovely trip up to Lake Konigssee, and a boat trip down the lake to St Bartholoma. The lake is nestled between the mountains, and is 602m above sea level with an average depth of 150m. It is the cleanest lake in Germany, with the water being pure enough to be classified ...

Protecting Yourself
everyone has a right to stay safe.
Here are few things you can do to reduce the chance of getting hacked or getting a virus.
Tip 1: Don't open e-mail attachments
This is a must. You must NEVER open any e-mail attachments unless you are 100% sure that it is legit and is from someone you know. Most viruses spread as soon as you open them by sending them to every one in your address book...which means one of your friends will get an e-mail from you which looks legit and they might open it and become infected. You can imagine how fast these things spread once things start going. Viruses can corrupt data, erase data, and things of that nature. Trojans allow people to remotely access your computer without permission and pretty much do any thing they want to you...such as erase files, steal password and credit card numbers, ect. Viruses typically will be an exe, bat, or other executable type file. In most situations trojans are combined with real, legit files so you might open it up and it will appear to be the real deal.
Here are a few other tips that belong in this category that might help you:
1. Pictures or movies will NEVER be an executable file. If someone is trying to send you a file called mypic.exe dont accept it! It is most likely a virus or trojan.
2. Be careful about downloading files from free servers like Geocities and Angelfire. Always download files from their original websites to ensure that they are clean.
3. Also, be careful download files from P2P services like Kazaa or WinMX. A lot of little viruses spread this way.
A good firewall can pretty much stop all trojans...and I will cover that in the next tip.
Tip 2: Get a firewall
Firewall's are excellent ways to stop hackers. Firewalls monitor incoming and outgoing data and makes sure no one, that isn't supposed to, is trying to access your PC remotely. This will also stop things like trojans or backdoors. Firewalls are not 100% reliable, as is any kind of security. A firewall I would recommend is ZoneAlarm, and you can get it from www.zonelabs.com. Also, another great firewall is called Sygate Personal Firewall and you can get it free from smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm.
Tip 3: Get antivirus software
If you download anything off of the internet than you must have some sort of antivirus to make sure it is clean. And I recommend updating your virus definitions at least once a week. Antivirus programs check files for viruses/trojans. A good antivirus program is, of course, Norton AntiVirus. You can get a free trial at www.norton.com.
Tip 4: Get spy ware removal programs
Spy ware will send information about you, without your permission, back to the server. Although spy ware is a bad thing it still comes in a lot of popular programs such as Kazaa and Gator. There are pretty much two excellent spy ware removal programs. My favorite is Spybot Search & Destroy and you can get it free from security.kolla.de. The other is call Ad-Aware and you can get it at www.ad-aware.com
more later....
Re: Protecting Yourself
the only "real" good way to stop a hacker from hacking your computer is to get a router the ports arent as usually open so a hacker cant access his trojan and get a spyware scanner that helps against trojans wich even if theyre not connected to their controller they can still kil your av and fire wall
Re: Protecting Yourself
hey thanx bro but frm where i can get router
Re: Protecting Yourself
Re: Protecting Yourself
Great article!!!!
Re: Protecting Yourself
Another easy way to get hacked is using LimeWire. You have to be careful with the folders you share.

GetFolderPath() error!!
Hi all!!
I need to get Folder path but getFolderPath() gives error..Can anybody help me to know WHY??
CFileDialog dlg(TRUE,NULL,NULL,OFN_EXPLORER|OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT,"JPEG Files (*.*)|*.*||");
Re: GetFolderPath() error!!
What error does it gives?
Re: GetFolderPath() error!!
In dlgfile.cpp, within definition of GetFolderPath()..
It breaks the execution of program and displays AbortRetryIgnore message..No Error number!!
Re: GetFolderPath() error!!
I am not sure why it should happen but my assumption is the folder is returning but str does not have the necessary buffer to hold the data.
Re: GetFolderPath() error!!
same str giving no such problem with GetPathName( )!! I have passed OFN_EXPLORER as style but even then GetFolderPath() is not returning desired result. Did i make any mistake in code above??
or i have to do it some other way...
Re: GetFolderPath() error!!
Dialog type should be Folder Dialog and not of the type FileDialog but I am not sure of that.
Re: GetFolderPath() error!!
The MSDN documentation says that
"You can call the GetFolderPath() method only while the dialog box is being displayed. After the dialog box has been closed, this function will no longer work, and the method will fail with an assertion."
Since you are closing the File Open dialog, that is the reason you get this assertion. The code for GetFolderPath() checks this line ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd)). As m_hWnd is NULL in this case, the error occurs.
Hope this helps.

Suspect in Erie shooting apprehended in Indiana, Pa.
An Erie woman wanted in a weekend shooting that seriously injured a city man was apprehended by police in Indiana, Pa., on Tuesday.
Tasha N. Pacley, 25, awaited arraignment late Tuesday on charges of criminal attempt at criminal homicide, aggravated assault, terroristic threats, carrying a firearm without a license, possessing an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering in the shooting of Melquan Barnett outside an apartment building in the 900 block of East Fifth Street on Saturday at about 5:45 a.m.
Police charge that Pacley threatened to kill Barnett during an argument outside the apartment house earlier Saturday morning before she returned with a gun, confronted Barnett and fired three to five shots at him.
Barnett, no age available, was struck once in the left shoulder, with the bullet lodging in his upper chest; and once in the left elbow, with the bullet then entering his lower abdomen, according to the criminal complaint.
Officers who responded to the shooting at 5:48 a.m. Saturday found Barnett in an upstairs apartment.
Two people who were tending to Barnett's wounds told police that Pacley had shot him, according to the affidavit of probable cause that detectives filed with the charges.
An arrest warrant was issued for Pacley on Saturday.

Vietnam Firebases 1965-73by Peter Dennis Randy Foster
Impressive in terms of scale and structure, the Fire Support Base became a dominant element in ground maneuver during the Vietnam War. Initially a mobile base, it soon evolved into a semi-permanent and more sophisticated fortress as a result of enemy counterattacks and bombardments.As a consequence, the majority of US and other allied troops found themselves pinned down in defensive or support roles, rather than being free to conduct 'search and destroy' or other mobile missions. Thus, the first and foremost function of the Fire Support Base was defensive. Troops, machine guns, mortars, artillery, surveillance radars, and command centers all had to be dug into bunkers and fire trenches by nightfall of the first day. Around these positions there would be deep belts of barbed wire, generously scattered with several different types of mines and even, in a few cases after 1967, with a brand new series of electronic sensors to detect and locate the enemy at a distance. With the benefit of the on-site howitzers, the FSB could also deliver offensive high volume fire, reaching as far as 14,600m and eliminating enemy firing sites, supporting friendly infantry operations, or simply participating in fire missions where exact targets were not known. In fact, the fort offered such a degree of support and protection that ground maneuver was eventually hampered by the troop's reluctance to leave the comfort and safety of the FSB. With a description of the design, development and operational history of the Fire Support Base, this book provides the key to understanding one of the main assets of US battle strategy in the Vietnam War.

Thinking of having a baby? Are you already expecting? Not sure if you can afford the additional costs? There is no question that adding that little bundle of joy can add up. It is estimated that that baby's first year will cost about $12,000 (not including college savings), so it is important to prepare and spend responsibly.
Here are ten simple and painless ways to cut costs and lower your financial related stress.
Create a new family budget which includes baby's first year and begin saving for baby before you get pregnant. It is important to know just how much more you will need and to decide where to get the extra cash. There are several great websites that offer free baby budget calculators. Once you have a new family budget set up try setting aside at least a small amount monthly right away, so you won't be scrambling to come up with what you need all at once after the baby is born. Create a separate baby savings account to make sure you don't spend this money ahead of time. You will have other costs come up that you hadn't planned on, so it is better to start early.
Resist the temptation to buy too much too soon. It is so easy to get caught up in the commercial hype of getting ready for the little one to arrive and sometimes that pressure can cause you to want to overbuy and overspend. Start by making a list of the bare bones necessities for the first three months after birth and begin researching those items to start.
Create a registry for those things which didn't make the bare bones list or that you know family and friends would want to buy you. Be sure to create at least two registries at larger stores/online retailers to give your friends/family an easy way to get all those smaller and less vital purchases for you. Don't be afraid to be specific and request that only those items chosen be purchased to make best use of everyone's time and money. Also check the return policies for those registries so you can get what you really need and not get stuck with another outfit with bunny ears or other novelty items.
Wait for sales, compare prices, and buy in bulk when possible. Don't shop impulsively. Plan ahead for holiday sales or even right after the holidays and ask the sales clerk if that item will go on sale. Take note of the item and cost and force yourself to leave the store to take time to comparison shop. Often you can price check with online search engines. Consider buying ongoing supplies like diapers, wipes, laundry detergent, etc. in bulk online or at bulk stores.
Borrow, trade, rent. Don't be timid about asking family and friends to pass on their child's used clothes, toys, etc. Or offer to trade these things with each other. It is better for all of you and for the environment. You can also always rent breast pumps and other baby equipment instead of purchasing new.
Shop used. There are a number of consignment stores popping up in light of the strained economy. These stores sell used and sometimes new clothing, toys, and gear at a fraction of the cost. This is such a smart option especially for baby clothes that you end of using for such a short period of time. Better yet, bring in your baby's outgrown things and make some money back. There are also community garage sales targeting baby and toddler goods. Or even organize your own with your neighbors. Just be cautious of potential safety hazards with items like car seats, cribs, etc. Don't get hung up on name brands. Your baby doesn't care or remember what designer clothes or gear she had.
Make your own baby food. At around 4-6 months when your baby begins solids consider making your own baby food in larger quantities and freezing them in storage containers. You will save on time and money in the end because you won't buy pricey individual jars or waste time shopping often.
Reassess your family's medical insurance and determine if you need to change your plan to cover additional co pays and other baby related medical costs. Examine your health plan's details carefully to make sure all well-baby care will be covered. If it isn't, consider switching to a health maintenance organization or preferred provider organization that does cover such care if you possibly can.
Investigate tax credits and flexible spending accounts. The child tax credit, which gets subtracted directly from parents' tax bills, is $1,000 per child for couples who file jointly and make no more than $110,000 a year. Every bit counts. Working parents also may qualify for the child and dependent care tax credit, which allows them to deduct as much as 35 percent of their annual day-care expenses depending on how much they earn. It's also a good idea to ask your employer about flexible spending arrangements, which allow you to direct a portion of your pretax wages to a personal account from which you can draw for medical and child-care costs.
Plan ahead to pay for legal fees associated with creating a will, power of attorney, and other necessary estate planning once the baby is born. Save some money on legal fees by doing the foot work and creating a draft for the lawyer so they won't be starting from scratch. You can even create your own documents by purchasing software like Willmaker and only use the lawyer when absolutely necessary. Lawyer fees can range from $250-$1200 to complete these documents depending on your needs.

Apples and oranges questions. The E3500 was designed to be scalable
"load bearing" (depending on type of load)
from my experience having run a fairly decent sized LDAP
VOIP system on one some years back. Like 8 years back almost.
Actually it was a cluster of 2 config but anyway.
LDAP response from the SunOne version 4
product was very good with only 4 CPUs and 1000's of LDAP accounts
voicemail etc etc. Now, if the Calendar server has any
"java" in it forget about performance I suspect.

Well the good news is if you can figure out how to do everything
the box will probably run forever, you expand it by getting more CPUs/
up to 8 CPUs/16GB RAM, you can hang FC/AL off it for disk either
through the builtin
1 Gbps ports or buy 2 Gbps FC/AL HBAs, Gig E ether is supported as
- like said scalable. And the extra bits are cheap off eBay generally
IF you know
what to buy.
I have a couple of E4500's which more than suffice for testing larger
I dont turn them on a lot..
Or you could look into trading up to a 52xx series box. Low power
lots of threads (if you willing to pay for them). And theres the
FeeCee Sun server
boxes too.
The long and short of it for me is without more details the questions
cannot be answered.
I suggest you test things out with what you have.
Maybe pickup a 60 day Try&Buy off your Sun rep and compare.
If you use the E3500 for trade bait and dont like how much you are
getting, see what they are
worth on eBay...
As this is really a hardware theme Ill not cross post this all over.

Tad depressing. Whats going on with the truck entrance! Could be better
@Al, "Could be better" . . . don't you mean "Couldn't be worse".
This development is another of Aucklands great traversties. Opportunities like this that are given over to the incompetent are fine and dandy if we are talking about a temporary building like the Cloud…..but this thing is permanent …..and apparently human Beings are being asked to inhabitant this building.
On every level this building is wrong…street appeal zero…durability zero….I mean if you arrived from another planet and the first thing you saw was this building…..what would you imagine the creatures inside would be like…..ask yourself.
This building has nothing to offer the public. The fact that these things can keep happening in Auckland city shows the crudeness of the market, the lack of responsibility to the public of the developers, the lack of professionalism on the part of the architects, lack of vision and influence by the territorial authorities, and in general the absense of people who care enough. This is an embaressemnt that all Aucklanders share. We should do better.
This is a real shocker. It has ruined Newmarket. Not only does this abomination loom large over Broadway but it dominates all approaches to Newmarket. It is a travesty of town planning. But the problem for us as a city is what sort of a veto could/should there be on ugliness vs the right of the individual to express their own sense of taste (or lack of)? The Council are supposed to be the guardians of the desigbn of the city and however you look at it there has been a failure here.

EAST LIVERPOOL - Comments made at Monday night's school board meeting about the city police department raised the ire of Chief John Lane, who responded Tuesday to a newspaper account of the meeting.
Board member Richard Wolf complained during the meeting that eight police officers were assigned to provide security during the East Liverpool-Beaver Local football game, saying they would not accept assignments and "don't do anything but gather up at the gate."
Wolf also said it was "impossible to deal with them," and although not published in the previous article, also said, "When cars are leaving (games), sometimes (officers) are already gone."
Lane vehemently disagreed with Wolf's assessment, saying, "We did everything we were supposed to do. I would like him to clarify what assignments we were supposed to do that we didn't."
The chief said if there were a problem with his department's performance, he would have been notified by either athletic director Bob Shansky or associate principal Jay Kiger, neither of whom had complained.
In fact, after reading Wolf's comments in Tuesday's paper, Kiger faxed Lane a letter saying, "After reading the unfortunate comments .. I felt it was absolutely necessary for you to know that the administration and staff here at East Liverpool Junior-Senior High School DO NOT share the opinions stated by that board member."
He continued, "In fact, we couldn't disagree more. We are proud of the relationship we have developed over the years and consider you part of our staff when you are working for us in any capacity."
Kiger advised that the department's work is "greatly appreciated and respected" and the administrative and teaching staffs are "grateful for your presence in our buildings and at our events" and all that the department does to provide safety.
Lane said he also was called by both Shansky and Kiger to assure him they did not share Wolf's opinion.
Nonetheless, Lane explained that his officers did do what was expected of them and then some, even though short-handed.
Due to the intense rivalry between the two teams, Lane said the department would have normally sent 10 officers to that game but dispatched eight, all of whom handled a variety of duties, not just directing traffic.
"For that game, we didn't have time to 'gather at the gate.' The guys were already working when I got there, and I got there early," Lane said, pointing out they director traffic both before and after the game and also help people cross the busy West Eighth Street safely.
According to Lane, officers need to be at the gate at some points, since that is where the money is collected. In fact, one officer reported having seen a well-known criminal hanging about the ticket gate and sent him on his way, just in case.
"They also have to be where the kids are," Lane said, with an officer saying he responded to a report of a student with a knife which was handled without incident.
Officers actually stayed an hour longer than scheduled for that particular game, reportedly without being paid for the extra time. Wolf had indicated the security detail cost the district $800.
"If he thinks he can do a better job, let him come down and direct traffic," Lane concluded.

ORANGEBURG, S.C. - The owner of a Norway auto repair shop has been charged with third degree arson after prosecutors say he hired a man to burn his business.
The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg reported Wednesday that prosecutors say Thomas Blake hired 52-year-old Ernest Leland Smith of Norway to burn his property. Authorities say Blake gave Smith the gasoline to burn the building.
Blake's attorney Gerald Davis said his client was in frail health, but he would return to court.
The Aug. 6 fire burned the Blake Auto Sales shop, a ministry and another shop. No one was hurt.
Smith has been charged with two counts of third-degree arson for the auto shop fire. It was not clear if he has a lawyer.

I have a S&W 66 with a 2 1/2 inch barrel and I'm very much in love with it. I also had a 686 with a 4 inch barrel and I loved that gun but not like the 66. Today I found a S&W 66-3 with a 4 inch barrel and feel deeply in love with it so much I traded my 686 for it plus I got $20.00 extra dallors. I feel it was a good trade due to I really feel in love with it ( not as much as my 66 with a 2 1/2 barrel but very near it :) ) my question is can I run hot loads ( hunting ) through the 66 like I was able to with my 686 ? :confused: Thanks for the help.

The concert band, one of 12 in the U.S. Air Force, appears at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 9 in St. Cecilia Music Center, 24 Ransom Ave. NE.
The 45-member concert band is on a tour through several Michigan cities this week, beginning with Battle Creek this past Monday, through Friday.
The band based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio also appears at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Interlochen Center for the Arts in northern Michigan; at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center in Dearborn in the Detroit area; and at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Port Huron Northern Performing Arts Center in Port Huron.
Band of Flight members include Technical Sgt. Scott Wise, a Michigan native who was born in Kalamazoo, grew up in Quincy and who graduated from Interlochen Arts Academy.
Friday's program in Grand Rapids is co-sponsored by Grand Rapids Community College and the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation.
Kevin Dobreff, head of GRCC's music department, said the community college is proud to support the appearance.
"I'm certain that anyone who heard their performance at President's Ford funeral would love to hear them play again," Dobreff said. "This is a perfect opportunity."
While in Grand Rapids, the band will hold master classes with GRCC instrumental majors in the GRCC Music Center, an important learning opportunity, Dobreff said.
Performing for state funerals, such as for President Ford's funeral in January 2007, is the USAF Band of Flight's top priority. But the band keeps up a regular touring scheduled.
The group based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio last was in West Michigan in May 2011 at Forest Hills North High School.
The concert is free, but tickets are necessary for admission in Grand Rapids.
Only 650 tickets are available and may be picked up in advance at St. Cecilia Music Center or the GRCC Music Center. Remaining tickets will be available at the door on the evening of the concert.
The USAF Band of Flight, which originated in September 1942 during World War II, is led by 1st Lt. Daniel W. Boothe, the band's commander and conductor.
Boothe earned his commission in 2009 from Officer Training School, Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama and has served as band's commander and conductor since July.
He previously served as Deputy Commander of the United States Air Force Band of Flight, which is based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
Here's the U.S. Air Force Band of Light in May with a performance of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."

Galaxy S4 (Exynos 5 Octa) vs Galaxy S4 (Snapdragon 600): benchmark comparison
0. phoneArena 31 May 2013, 09:01 posted on
Everyone was looking forward to a Galaxy S4 handset with Exynos 5 Octa CPU, ever since that chipset was announced. When the Galaxy S4 was later introduced, it became clear that a version of the phone with this processor will indeed exist. However, it turned out that the availability of the Exynos-powered GS4 will be much more limited than expected...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Lol where are the people saying this chip isn't innovation....its one of the fastest on the world! But mind you not as bigger difference as I thought there would be...

So what do you prefer, lag on Exynos or lag on Snapdragon 600?
32. hung2900 (Posts: 956; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
"Lag" in the video means you open an app and cannot get access immediately due to the transition effect.

hung2900, don't pay attention, he is illiterate in modern technologies.

Benchmarks are really meaningless
I dont know about the galaxy s4 snapdragon virgin
I have the exynos version and it feels really slow and laggy the note 2 is considerably snappier
Maybe its a software thing idk but for now am really disappointed
96. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
I'm really expecting a lot more from Oxynos 5, since the whole Octa hype. The moment they used 600 on S4, I know that the performance of the Oxynos 5 will not be much better than the 600. In my opinion, that's not really innovation. Perhaps the Oxynos 5 will perform better in Note 3, but it's not for sure that Note 3 will have it. The question is will Oxynos 5 work just a good as 800 in Note 3, or will Note 3 won't have Oxynos 5 chip at all? The answer will decide whether or not Oxynos 5 really innovated.

Definitely can't match Apple!

Are you sure that you're an angry Apple customer?
73. sum182 (Posts: 229; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
Would never want to, I prefer multitasking over fake performance.
113. quadrazeus (Posts: 359; Member since: 03 May 2013)
If you ever cared to double press the home button to bring up the multitasking tray, you'd know that the iPhone multitasks pretty well.
This isn't 2008 anymore. Multitasking excuses are old.
115. CellularNinja (Posts: 306; Member since: 27 Sep 2011)
If you knew anything about your phone, you'd know that that is not 'true' multitasking. It is more of a faster way to switch apps that's all. Like the guy said above, "fake performance".
119. FerneyZan (Posts: 97; Member since: 21 Jul 2010)
do you even have a clue of what Multitasking means? Apparently not specially if you are saying that you can do it on smartWannaBephone like an iPhone.. LOL
3. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4839; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
They seem very, very close. Too close to make a difference. The Snapdragon 800 will kill the Exynos 5 Octa though.
9. MCrapp (Posts: 318; Member since: 07 Apr 2013)
Note3 with Exynos5 1.8-1.9GHz (Galaxy S4 exynos5 is 1.6GHz) will kill the Snapdragon 800 2.1GHz

29. polrt (banned) (Posts: 73; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
It does not matter, it would still LAG. lol
46. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
Yet with all that lag, everyone goes Android! Strange, huh?
51. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
Do your homework before you comment on something you dont know anything about. Thats a transition animation. You can make it slower or faster on developer settings. Naturally its on default. Which is 1x. Can you do that on the iPhone or Windows phone? I figure you cant since you didnt know you can control that with an android.
56. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
That's not lag, it's just an effect Samsung decided to make way too long
103. vincelongman (Posts: 4445; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)
Did you even watch the video you posted?
Because in the video the guy turns off the transition animation and then there is no lag whatsoever, every app opens instantly and same with lockscreen.
Also you can make the animation faster as well, like cripton805 said on default its 1x, you can also set it to 0.5x, so it would be twice as fast.

"Samsung wanted to guarantee that devs can expect the exact same level of performance form the Galaxy S4, regardless of which version the user has. And they've done an excellent job. But this isn't the best that Cortex-A15 in the Exynos chipset is capable of - we might have to wait until the Galaxy Note III to get a true feel for its performance."
And don't forget that the S600 is clocked at 1.9GHz while the Octa is clocked at 1.6GHz, yet it managed to score slightly higher benchmarks. Anyway, only future will tell.
11. mafiaprinc3 (Posts: 531; Member since: 07 May 2012)
the GS4 s600 gives a better battery life thoughhttp://www.gsmarena.com/samsun
22. MrPhilo (Posts: 49; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
The i9500 driver is incomplete, its on xda, Andreilux has explained it. Samsung messed up the BIG.little configuration, thus battery life isn't as great.
21. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4839; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
That is true but the Snapdragon 800 is an incremental update that can go up to 2.5 to 2.7GHz so it will beat out the Exynos 5 Octa even overclocked to 1.9GHz. Plus the Adreno 330 is going to be EPIC.
Dude the age of the so called "crapdragon" ended after the S4 came out.
The BEST processor this year will be the Snapdragon 800 just like the best processor of last year was the Snapdragon S4 Pro.
25. MrPhilo (Posts: 49; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
2.3Ghz is highest for Snapdragon 800. Where the hell you get 2.5 and 2.7Ghz, plus why would you want that speed anyways. Waste of battery and heat consumption for a mobile device.
Snapdragon 800 wouldn't be the best, Tegra 4 would be similar in performance even if it's a lower clock (1.9Ghz vs 2.3Ghz) Cortex A15 > Krait 400 etc.
Best SoC will be Intel. Intel Baytrail, Quad-Core Atom. The Clovertrail Dual-Core is already faster than the S600 in CPU performance (Antutu). Plus it's built on 22nm.
55. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4839; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
We don't know this yet but Qualcomm says the Snapdragon 800 will come in at 2.3GHz meaning the Android root community can overclock the beast to 2.5 to 2.7GHz. I should have alluded to that. My bad man.
That Intel chip is awesome, my thing is how many phones will that chip be on?
Qualcomm really has every OEM on lockdown. They supply to EVERY MAJOR OEM, that makes Android & WP8 phones/tablets.

I though this exact same thing
67. james004 (Posts: 486; Member since: 15 May 2013)
it will be 10%-20% faster.
4. Jonathan41 (Posts: 532; Member since: 22 Mar 2012)
Just what I expected. Way to much hype.
7. Jason2k13 (Posts: 1214; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
imagine what the benchmark would be if the exynos was overclocked the same as the snap600...
14. dexter_jdr (Posts: 1163; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
it means more battery consumption
5. N-fanboy (Posts: 543; Member since: 12 Jan 2013)
Small difference i must say, but since this is android one will be less laggier than the other lol
13. rahulz (Posts: 117; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
Oh really???
18. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)

And what was the last nokia of any relevance. .. the 920/928/925 same thing right? Still, almost 3 years since WP's rebirth and no one wants one.
57. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Windows phone lags, specially on low end models , PhoneArena reviews have said it for the 610 and others but I guess people like to see the problem on others
66. rahulz (Posts: 117; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
Yes every os lags. I have experienced lags on my brothers Lumia 920 (not too frequent though)
i also own WP8(L520),sometimes it lags too
i think there's no lag free os.
but these blind fanboys can't see their device lagging.
and WP fanboys became very annoying recently.
81. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
They claim their OS is fast ad flawless but the truth is as soon as they install a lot of apps the performance declines quite a lot....

Nokia fanboy, please, stop embarassing yourself on the internet and do some proper research before posting stupid comments.
58. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4839; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
I love how people are still talking about lag. Wow that brings me back to 2009. lol
12. roldefol (Posts: 4258; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
Can we put the "more cores is better" argument to rest now? And stop pining for a marginally faster processor that's marginally slower in some tests?
17. MrPhilo (Posts: 49; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
4 Core is for performance while other 4 is for battery. I thought people would know this by now.
20. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
it is, indeed, but gsmarena tested both and it turned out that snap is more power efficient. So big.LITTLE architecture doesn't work as good as it was said.
28. MrPhilo (Posts: 49; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
As I said before, Samsung messed up the drivers on big.LITTLE, this is explained on XDA by a developer named Andreilux.
65. medicci37 (Posts: 1278; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
Well if they ever get around 2 fixing the drivers than that statement might be relevant. Until then, looks like the Exynos isn't much better than Snapdragon
64. user996 (Posts: 215; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
A15 uses too much power to operate and A7 is too week to run smoothly. this is the answer. for optimal performance and power consumption there is made S600 with non symmetrical core architecture. that means it can even use only 1 core if needed (in power saving mode for example)
26. SleepingOz (unregistered)
big.LITTLE structure doesn't work that way.
If you want to see what the Exynos Octa has to offer through big.LITTLE MP(all 8cores running at the same time), wait for the future custom kernels from XDA recognized devs.
36. roldefol (Posts: 4258; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
I stand marginally corrected then. It's not an octo-core, but rather a double-quad. And yet, if it's only using one of those processors for regular operation, isn't it all a bit misleading?
38. SleepingOz (unregistered)
It's a real octo-core! It's just not being used a such in its initial software implementations.
40. roldefol (Posts: 4258; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
Then what's the point? So a handful of root users can enjoy it in all its octo glory while the general consumer sees no difference from a quad?
86. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
what for? if samsung releases their newest product they could make some effort to make it properly. Why should I rely on 3rd party develop[ers? Maybe samsung should hire them? We could be given a final product instead of something than may work in the future but not necessarily.
15. rahulz (Posts: 117; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
As expected. If one outperform other customers will feel disappointed. It makes sense. that's why Samsung overclocked snapdragon 600 to 1.9ghz
16. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
hmm....looks like snap gave the exynos a run for its money.
Samsung is not as far ahead as they hoped they would be.
And what's more, according to gsmarena test, which btw. is far more professional than this one, battery life is on snap's side.
Given the pity differences between these two, I think I would pick up snap. Exynos is more feature proof, though.

Why because he expressed himself with intelligence? I agree with him, there is very little difference between the two and three video proves it.

Until recently, hypertension was considered entirely the result of arterial and renal disease. Although the mechanism whereby such disease caused hypertension was unknown, the almost constant association of the symptom and such lesions seemed to justify such a conclusion. This was in accord with the still dominant tradition of the continental school; namely, that an abnormal function must necessarily be the result of a morphologic tissue change. It is becoming increasingly apparent, however, that an association of a lesion with a functional change does not always necessarily imply that this change is the result of the lesion. The lesion may represent an end-result of influences in which the functional change is the main or an important factor.
Correlation of pathologic evidence and clinical data furthermore revealed striking discrepancies: 1. Hypertension was present although at postmortem there was little evidence of arterial or vascular disease. Such cases are by no means

Forecast: Top Market Movers For 2012 & What To Do 0 commentsDec 31, 2011 3:02 PM | about stocks: UUP, UDN, FXE, ERO, URR, ULE, EUO, DRR, FXA, FXB, FXC, FXD, FXF, FXEN, FXY, JYF, CYB, GLD, CNY, USO, DUG, USL, NBO, DBV, ICI, CEW, SLV, OIL, SPY, SDS, RSW, BXDC, SPXU, SH, DIA, EWC, EWA, TLT, XHB, ITM, IGOV, VGK, TBT, GSG, DBC, CORN, ICN, SZR, BZF, GRU, DAX-OLD, FRC, DB, SAN, BNO, ENIA
To evaluate the likely top market movers for 2012, the top considerations were:
1. Likelihood of occurring in 2012
2. Impact on global economy if it occurs
Our overall conclusion is that the global economy this time next year will be anywhere from stagnant to deep recession, depending mostly on whether the EU avoids a breakup, orderly or otherwise, in 2012. The global economy remains mired in a process of shedding the debt that has fueled much of the growth for the past 30 years. The process is necessary, unavoidable, and bearish for the coming years. Here are the chief concerns for 2012.
A slowdown appears likely, but can the EU avoid a crisis?
Likelihood of occurring in 2012: High for slowdown, medium for crisis
Impact: High
Yes, plenty of other black swan events are conceivable, but the EU remains the most likely source of trouble and market moving events. Specifically:
1. If the EU can continue to prevent a major sovereign default, markets stand a good chance of ending 2012 flat to higher.
2. If not, the most likely result is a banking and global economic crisis at least as serious as that seen in 2008 after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy.
While some like Nomura Bank believe markets have partially discounted an EU credit event, we do not. As of the end of 2011 the bellwether S&P 500 is around 1260, less than 8% off its 2011 high of ~1360, and less than 13% from its all time high at around 1560. That hardly seems to discount the global depression risked by a wave of sovereign defaults. Remember, compared to 2008m the world's economies are weaker and the developed world carried far less debt, particularly the public sector following assorted stimulus measures over the past years.
While we believe #2 will occur eventually, it's impossible to say how long it can be deferred. That will depend greatly on unpredictable political decisions. The EU appears to be aiming for an "orderly default." While the details of that are unclear, the term does suggest they're aiming for defaults without market panic, asset price collapse, and bank runs. Theoretically that may be achieved via a clever combination of capital controls, bank holidays, money printing, and state guarantees of too big to fail (TBTG) institutions. We wish them luck. Too much more austerity risks an exit by the debtor nations, and any significant devaluation of the EUR risks an exit by Germany and possibly a few other nations committed to preserving the value of their citizens' savings.
There are so many uncertainties and ways that this could play out.
While the modern world as we know as seen numerous defaults in peripheral economies, it has never experienced the potential wave of sovereign defaults that could occur. Unlike in the past, the 17 Euro-zone nations cannot print their way out of default, and are unlikely to ever be able to agree to do so. Germany and a few other relatively healthy hard money economies have shown no sign of willingness to accept being stuck with a drastically weakened currency. Even if they would, they'd demand a level of austerity and surrender of budgetary control that the debtor nations do not appear ready to accept.
A few weeks ago ratings agency Fitch publicly concluded what some senior EU and IMF officials have asserted anonymously for months: that the EU and EUR as we know it is beyond repair, given the low chance of member nations agreeing to a workable solution. We agree, but can't say when the breakup comes or what form it takes.

Cowboys hope to drill $42 million in suite lease from delinquent dentistry business
ARLINGTON - For many fans, having their own suite at the new Cowboys Stadium is a fantasy too expensive to become reality.
But the Dallas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry didn't merely buy the rights to one suite. In October of 2007 - more than a year before the suites were unveiled to the public - the cosmetic dentistry business signed leases on six suites at a cost of $2.1 million a year.
The first year's bill came due last year. According to the Dallas Cowboys, the business ignored it.
After what a Cowboys spokesman said was a year's worth of attempts to collect the money owed, the Cowboys this week filed a lawsuit. It demands the total value of the 20-year contract: $42 million.
"If you're going to speculate on the Cowboys nickel, be sure you have the money to pay the bill," said Cowboys Stadium attorney Levi McCathern.
The Dallas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry is not alone.
Cowboys spokesman Brett Daniels said the team has worked with a lot of suite owners, club seat holders, and season ticket holders who also signed lengthy lease commitments to come up with ways to help them meet payment schedules.
"We're not looking to go after the little guy, the season ticket holder, by any means," Daniels said.
But he indicated that the Dallas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry is another issue entirely.
"This is a large company that's chosen to not respond," he said.

Wordeful salad. I used leftover chicken from Chicken Paprika and I did added the capers which was a excellent combination. I had it as my lunch at work so I left out the onions. Thanks for posting!
I would have to agree with the other reviewers. Fantastic dressing! I myself do not like much dressing. Since it is very flavourful - a little goes a long way. I poured half (4 oz) of the salad dressing onto the salad before serving it. I found that the salad still "drowned" in it for me. But like I said, I do not like much dressing. Next time I'll pour one quarter into the whole salad. Or I'll just leave the dressing on the table and let others control the amount of dressing themselves. I am following Weight Watchers. I figured out that you get 12 servings of dressing at 1 point each (about 20 ml). I like the fact I'll have a fantastic dressing leftover for other salads throughout the week! 100g (just over 3 oz) of the Rotisserie chicken (skinless and no wings) is probably about 4 points. I figure an appetizer sized salad with dressing is about 5 points and a good sized (double) salad about 9 points.
This made for a great lunch, paired with some fresh bread. I deskinned and defatted the chicken first. Dressing amount will feed at least 8 people, so the nutrition facts aren't as bad as they look. Thanks, Chef V!

Clergy representing the world will gather in prayer, peace and love at Renaissance Unity's Interfaith Opening Service on Wednesday, September 11 at 7:00 pm in Warren, MI. All are welcomed.
The Interfaith Service will include prayers from religious leaders from Baha'i, Buddhist, Catholic, Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Native American and Sikh traditions. The Hindu Temple Rhythms from the Bharatiya Temple in Troy will perform traditional Hindu dances.
The Interfaith Service combines people of many different beliefs in a collective spirit of love.
"As we look at the world from the perspective of the 'other' person we begin to recognize that we are all more alike than previously imagined. We experience our Oneness," said Sandy Hess, associate minister at Renaissance Unity and chair of the event.
Oneness resonates throughout the Interfaith Service.
People from diverse cultures and religions will be in attendance. For many this is an event they look forward to each year. JoAnn Plater, Detroit, has been attending the services for more than a decade.
"The Interfaith Service is an opportunity to learn how other faiths experience the power of God," said Plater.
Those who have attended the service find it inclusive, enlightening and beautiful.
"I am going to bring more people, said Sandra Wettergren," Clinton Twp. It is an enlightening service where people can experience God in an open, non-threatening way.
After the Interfaith Service Opening Ceremony, each prayer request is prayed for during the 24-hour prayer vigil. This culminates into Unity's 20th World Day of Prayer. This year's theme is, "Heart to Heart in Prayer We Can Heal the World".
Unity World Day of Prayer started in 1994 to promote peace and healing of each individual, the community, and the world. This sacred initiative is held in Unity Churches throughout the world.
The community is encouraged to attend this night of faith, community, peace and healing.
Renaissance Unity is located at 11200 E. Eleven Mile Rd. on the south side of I-696 service drive just west of Hoover Rd. in Warren, MI. For further information visit http://www.renaissanceunity.org/or call 586-353-2300.

Charleston police are asking the public for help in locating a second suspect in an attempted armed robbery that was witnessed by police on patrol in Ardmore Monday night.
Police are still looking for Bobby Eugene Warthaw, 25, of Dowling Road in North Charleston, according to a wanted bulletin released today by the Police Department.
Another suspect, Terry Jamar Simmons Jr., 21, of East Surrey Drive, was arrested Monday night. He was charged with attempted armed robbery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.
While patrolling the Ardmore neighborhood on Monday, police saw two men run toward a third man in the middle of Sequoia Street shortly after 10 p.m., police spokesman Charles Francis said.
The third man raised his hands in the air and backed away from the other men, who were armed with a pistol, Francis said. The would-be robbers ran away when police turned on their blue lights.
Officers found Simmons crouched next to a house on Balsam Street, Francis said. Simmons is being held at the Charleston County jail on $200,000 bail.
Warthaw is 5 feet 7 inches tall, 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He may be staying in the area of Etiwan Gardens with his mother or on Betsy Road, police said.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts should call Charleston police at 577-7434 or Crime Stoppers at 554-1111.
