How to Capture a Perfect Click with your Smartphone
Smartphones have transformed the way pictures are taken. It has now become easy to carry a camera everywhere and anywhere one wants to. Smartphones have given rise to instant photo sharing. The most happening 'selfies' is also a result of the camera enabled smart phones. If there is common wish among everyone, it is to click great pictures and selfies. Follow the below techniques to capture your moments in the best way possible using your smartphones.
- Understand your Phone Camera Settings:
Depending completely on the default options might give you good pictures but not the better ones. A key to taking perfect shots is knowing your camera settings. Focus, exposure, white balance and ISO are the common settings found in all the smartphone cameras. It is important to have control on such options to get high-quality snaps.
- Make sure that camera lens is dust free.
It is through your camera lens that others get to know your world, so make sure they are clean. Because cleaning lenses can at times improve the quality of the pictures one take.
- Go with the Light
Natural light adds the exposure and texture to pictures besides, making getting better pictures. If one has to click pictures indoors, it is advisable to take them where there is an inflow of natural light. Use the side light if it is at night rather than a camera flash.
- Panorama for landscape images.
If you want to capture the scenic beauties and landscapes, using panorama feature is the best way to capture best snaps with 180 degrees wide angle.
- Go close to the object, avoid zoom
It is advisable to go closer to the object or person one want to capture rather than using zoom option. Using zoom often degrades quality and resolution of the picture.
- Increase the Resolution
High resolution gives high clarity perfect shots, that are to stay with you for a lifetime. However, with high-resolution pictures comes the problem of storage. Do not worry, because there is various software that provides cloud storage services. Or one can also use external storage systems to store pictures.
- Set the right angle:
Having the right angle can make a lot of difference to the pictures. It makes the pictures much more interesting and amazing.
- The rule of the thirds
It's the simple trick that does wonders. It is widely believed that our eyes get attracted to the pictures that are divided into three. Especially where the subject of the photo is off center. Most smartphones come with this option, all you have to do is just switch on the option and get the pictures that give you positive appraisals from others.
- Prefer back camera over front camera
The main logic behind this is simple, back camera is generally equipped with great megapixels than the front camera. Megapixels and higher resolution result in high-end quality pictures.
- Picture Editing Apps
There are various picture editing apps that came into existence with the onset of smartphones. These apps enable you to edit the picture and add filters, making it more attractive and artistic.
Go grab your smartphone and take the perfect amusing snaps using these techniques.

In Praise Of Good Works
Dear Editor:
The only reason to bring "good work" to a halt would be the non-compliance of the rules and regulations that may be set forth in the place where the work is to be demonstrated and carried out. A "good work" as well as the promoter of it should show a consideration of all the rules and regulations which may be involved and exhibit kindness and a sense of virtuousness.
Immediately following Super Storm Sandy we had many "good works" being performed in our home of Dayton Towers Corp. which, management allowed and knew of giving the OK to.
I would like to give special thanks to management for the wonderful programs of relief that were instituted here, especially to Mr. Richard Nardo and Mr. Jonathon Klein for their untiring efforts. One good work which came about recently was the distribution of free produce on our property to the shareholders by the "Culinary Kids Day Camp" which was promoted by a shareholder with the best of intentions. The problem arose that the free produce was being distributed without the knowledge of management. This was not the error of the organization itself but the shareholder who had promoted it. Proper protocol was not followed therefore this good work had to come to an abrupt halt until it could be examined by management in the light of the rules and regulations pertaining to the protection of our home.
I would like to address two additional points from the said letter to which I am referring. First off I would like to request that the author would kindly forward to management a list of the "free services" that passed us by because of the hassles that they would encountered as well as what dates they wanted to distribute and carry out these services.
Secondly, exactly how and in what manner has Dayton Towers shut out the rest of the community in a way that is described as exclusionary and offensive according to the author of said letter? As I see it, if this was the case, why were those from the surrounding community allowed to come on to Dayton Towers property to receive the free relief that was being distributed here (in particular buildings 7600 and 7400). I have been a firsthand witness to this. Was this an attempt to exclude the rest of the community in time of need? I think not, it was quite the contrary. It was inclusionary.
So in closing I would like to thank all of the relief organizations who have and are still distributing relief to those in the New York, and New Jersey areas. Also thanking all the shareholders and some of the children, supers, handymen, maintenance, and some of the Board of Directors who took part in the unloading, organizing and distribution of the relief aid to our home of Dayton Towers and to those who came from the community who were in need. Let's continue in this spirit of unity here in Dayton Towers Corp., without the bashing or degrading of the character of those in management or the Board of Directors or each other but, being considerate, and show kindness and exhibit the characteristics of being virtuous in what we say and do. Having a desire to continue to do and allow good works here that follow proper protocol of rules and regulations set forth by management and the corporation, again for our protection.

Here I am writing to you my last update from Inuvik.
I will be going down the Dempster highway for the next 22 hours with Bill the fruit man in his big truck.
We'll be taking the ice road and hopefully marvelling at the northern lights as we go tonight.
We're driving right through a big swath of it, so we'll see if it works out.
I gave a bunch of useful stuff away to Kira and I condensed all the rest into a rollie, a backpack and a rubbermaid box.
I'm spending a weekend in Whitehorse and then Greyhounding it to the B-More. Some of the buses have wifi, so I'm sure I'll have time to update as we go.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Todd Strandberg is a 32-year-old supply sergeant working a desk job at Offutt Air Force Base, just outside Omaha, Nebraska. When Todd gets home from work, things pick up a bit—he sits at his computer, connects to the Internet, turns on his wide-screen TV, and for the rest of the evening, he is a one-man news-gathering organization. Every week, Todd compiles and filters news reports from around the world for an index of global trends he posts on his Web site, which has attracted more than 1 million hits since he started it in 1995.
But Todd doesn't track the sort of news other media organizations do. He looks for signs that the Rapture—a divine intervention predicted in the Bible that signals the beginning of the end of the world—is nigh. He has identified 45 categories of "prophetic indicators," ranging from Earthquakes to Oil Prices to Apostasy, and he assigns each category a score from one to five, depending on its activity for the week. The total, a number between 45 and 225, is that week's Rapture Index. Anything over 145 means we're in the "alert zone," and signals that the Rapture may be imminent. When I visited Todd in June, the index stood at a perilous 155—and rising.
Let's start off by defining our terms. What is the Rapture?
All believing Christians are going to be caught up—or "raptured"—out of the world and taken to heaven. The Bible actually describes people being taken in bodily form, "in the twinkling of an eye." Aircraft that are flying through the air will be—if both pilots are Christian— unmanned. Cars will go out of control because there is no driver.
And what's the idea behind the Rapture Index?
The Rapture is an important event that's going to transpire soon and rivet the world's attention, and I think that putting some sort of numeric evaluation on it is extremely important. You know, like the atomic scientists thought the danger of a nuclear holocaust was important enough to create their doomsday clock.
Were you a big reader of the news even before you became interested in the Rapture?
I was always interested in the news, even as a kid in school. We used to have this competition every Friday about the current news of the day and I would always clean everybody's clock in the classroom.
How did that develop into the idea of assigning a numerical value to trends in the news?
Well, our language is very ambiguous; words can have multiple meanings. Numbers mean one thing and they don't mean anything else, so by transposing current events into numerical figures, I'm able to provide a solid representation of what appears to be occurring.
And that helps you connect disparate news items to the Rapture?
Yeah—there's not only safety in numbers, there's also understanding in numbers. When one event occurs it doesn't mean anything, but when you have two or three or four events, you get a trend you can follow and an indication of reality. Once you have the big picture, finding the news becomes relatively easy. [Mainstream journalists] see these floods in South Africa and fires in Borneo and they don't see any connection. The reason I believe so strongly in the Rapture and the end times is that you see all these things predicted long ago, and when they start occurring they line up together and they reaffirm each other. That's what caused me to think, "Hey, this is it. This is what the Bible talked about, and this is what is soon to come on the scene."
What are you paying closest attention to these days?
This week I'm tracking the Climate factor of the index. I've had a heat wave and cyclones in India. There was a report that said the huge area of warm air that's been over the Asian subcontinent is now moving over the Middle East and creating record-setting high temperatures there. What I really keyed into, though, is the report that was issued this week by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and Vice President Al Gore about the record temperatures that have occurred in the United States over the past several months.
And what was Climate at last week?
The rating was a four last week, and this week it's probably going to go to a five.
What sort of biblical references are there to climate change?
There's a verse in Luke that says that one of the end-times signs is "the sea in waves roaring." And any type of abnormalities in our weather cycles that are detrimental can be considered a judgment from God.
Where do you get your news?
Well, I mostly go to the Web. I also watch a lot of news programs. The availability of information hasn't been my problem. It's the filtering of that information.
In that respect, do you see your job as being similar to that of a newspaper editor or a TV news producer?
Well, they cover news in a broad perspective, and I'm focusing on one particular event. Big media organizations have thousands of employees, and they're all focused on the topic of the day. I'm looking at this one event—the Rapture—that will someday just push all these other events aside and become the most dominant news item of that day. It will result in the destruction of everything we know and currently put our trust in.
So if you were the executive producer for "CBS Evening News," would it look a lot different than it does now?
Yeah, most certainly. You know, one thing I notice that's very strange is that the people who anchor the news--Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, Bernard Shaw--are all people of a liberal slant whom one would consider agnostic.
Why do you think that is?
Well, I believe that they're put there by the devil himself.
You think Peter Jennings is actually doing the work of the devil?
Most definitely. You know, it seems like a provocative statement, but look at the mathematical possibilities here. We have four major news anchors, and every one of them is liberal and agnostic in his beliefs. What if every one of them were an albino and had orange hair? And after the Rapture, I don't think Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, or Peter Jennings is going to be providing the correct slant on the news. There's going to be so much interest in the Rapture, and the only ready source I see at this great time of panic is the Internet. Even though I plan not to be here, I'm still hoping I'll be able to provide information for people. Which is sort of a strange arrangement.
So the way you see it happening, you'll be gone but your site will still be there?
Yeah, my Web site will remain. When the Rapture takes place, I think I'll probably have more hits in one day than I've had in the past 10 years. That is really the day I am looking forward to.
So do you think your Web site is more important than the New York Times?
It's certainly not more popular--the New York Times has many more readers than I do--but someday the New York Times is going to go looking for my site.
An extended version of this interview will air on "This American Life," a radio program from WBEZ in Chicago and Public Radio International. See http://www.thislife.org for more information.

This is a 6" pot with 4 Hawaiian Chili Pepper plants that I bought from Lowes on July 22. My boyfriend wanted some Hawaiian Chili Peppers to make chili pepper water with. It's been a month and I've has to deal with white flys, ants, and aphids. I sprayed them with Neem oil or Ivory soap, I've also shot them off with a blast of water. The plants don't look that great because of all the pest damage. The first picture above is when I first bought them.
This next photo is how they are now. I planted a French Marigold in the middle of the 4 plants to help discourage the white fly.
If you look closely at this last photo in the middle there is a small chili pepper that is starting to grow. :)

"Low-Cost" Wind Power Demonstration Project Now Under Construction
July 3rd, 2012 by Zachary Shahan
Wind power company Mass Megawatts has started work on a demonstration low-cost wind power system that uses "the company's patented wind augmentation technology."
The demonstration project will include a wind power system with the company's patented technology and one without it.
"The Mass Megawatts' wind augmentation system utilizes a less complicated and inexpensive wind-focusing technique to increase the wind velocity directed at the turbine by an average of 70%. This accelerated wind speed, in turn, triples the increase in the electrical power generated by the turbine," the company writes.
The Company's augmentation system eliminates the need for turbine structures to exceed a height of 80 feet to realize adequate wind velocity. This reduces material and installation costs while expediting zoning approval in many locations. Additionally, the augmenter technology makes it possible for turbines to operate profitably in lower wind-speed locations.
Using horizontal or propeller type turbine blades, the cost per rated kilowatt is projected to be less than $1000 and anticipated to approach $600 in mass production. This compares very favorably with traditional wind power systems that realize a cost of $1500 to $2000 per rated kilowatt.
If all the information above is correct and this company isn't pulling our legs, that sounds mighty promising.
I don't see any independent verifications of the claims above on the Mass Megawatts site, and the design is clearly looks quite a bit different from typical wind turbines. I can't say I'm convinced the system is revolutionary, though. But what do I know — an engineer want to chime in with your opinion on this?
For a little more food for thought, perhaps, here's a video on the technology:

WAR is an anthology of poems published by Faber and Faber, 2003 ISBN: 9780571221318
Harold Pinter's response to world events is always pure and simple: he writes with an economy that throws the stark light of truth onto any given subject. There is no fudge, no dallying, no compromise.
The eight poems and one speech published here testify to the strength and lucidity of his unwavering view on war and provide a declaration for humanity.

The series of prints in 'Award' arose out of our need to find a way to express our disgust with the war against Iraq and attempt to revoke our impotence in the face of the raging terrorism committed in the name of democracy. We wanted to use digital technology to make visceral images that used everyday stuff as directly as we could in order to respond to the war's full horror with thousands of Iraqis being killed.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
AVIS Rent A CarAvis House, Park Road, Bracknell, Select State/Province United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am an AVIS reservation agent who works for the Avis Call Centre based in Barcelona, Spain.
I rented a car from AVIS on June 14th 2009 at 0958h from Oviedo Railway Station in the north of Spain. It was a one way rental to Santiago de Compostela Airport, the return date being the 20th June 2009 1940h. I booked this car at my place of work following the correct procedure in order to get a staff discount, that is to say that my team leader made the reservation for me. The price I was quoted was 154.25EUR and the following inclusions were listed: Unlimited Kilometres, Vehicle Damage and Theft Cover and a one way fee. The payment was to be made on return of the vehicle. The reservation number was 22616868gb1.
When I got to the Avis desk at Oviedo I was told that I would be charged in UKL not EUR. Note the word told as opposed to being offered an option (these days, AVIS policy is that in most European countries you can now choose the currency you wish to be charged in). I asked why, stating that the reservation was booked in EUR and that I wanted to be charged in EUR. The agent told me that it was because of my credit card. Please bear in mind that my credit card is a Spanish card, from ING Direct, that despite being a UK citizen I am resident in Spain for almost 10 years now and that I have booked several cars with both AVIS and other companies in Spain and elsewhere in Europe and have never been charged in UKL when Ive booked in EUR. Its absurd to suggest that it was something to do with my card. I pointed this out to the agent but she insisted and basically just shrugged. She then said I could sort it out at Santiago Airport, where I was due to leave the car. Recognising the futility of arguing any further and needing to press on with our journey I signed the rental agreement document (RA number 867525293) despite my misgivings, in the hope that it would be resolved later.
At Santiago I returned the car, it was checked in, everything was fine, no one said anything about any extra charges for anything whatsoever. The petrol tank was full and there was no damage. I was then asked to sign the document stating that I was happy with the check in. On this document it stated that that I was offered a choice of payment in EUR but chose to be billed in UKL. I told the agent that this was not true and refused to sign it. The agent took the document, ripped it up and threw it in the trash and then told me that they were unable to change the charge to EUR and that she would pass it to billing, who would take care of it.
Checking my credit card statement at the beginning of July, I realised that I had been charged in EUR, but 234.64EUR as opposed to the 154.25EUR quoted at the time of reservation. That's an overcharge of 80.39EUR.
So on the 7th July 2009 I wrote to Avis UK Customer Service to query the additional charge. I received an automated response stating that I would hear back within 15 working days. After 15 days (albeit not working days), not having heard back I called Customer Services to chase up my email. I spoke to an agent called Lyn. Lyn explained to me that emails were dealt with by a "non-voice team", separate from the "voice team". I asked why I had not heard back within the prescribed time frame, and was told that sometimes the Customer Services team were too busy and that backlogs occurred. I asked if she could assist me, at least to confirm that they had received my email, she said yes, and paraphrased it to me. I asked if she could explain the additional charges, she said she was not able to and that if she was to look into it she would have to open a new incident report and then I would be back to square one, having to wait out another 15 working days before hearing back. I then asked her if that would run concurrent with my original incident report or if that would cancel it. Lyn seemed not to understand this question and sadly by this point was clearly becoming flustered and somewhat exasperated by the conversation. I tried to redirect my enquiry and simply get a new timeline on when I should expect to hear back from the original email, at which point I would have been happy for the original incident report opened by my email to run it's course. That question answered I would have been happy to terminate the call. Unfortunately Lynne did not listen to this instead she interrupted me and attempted to close the call. First she again offered to open a new incident report. I replied that I specifically did not want her to do that. At this point Lyn stated that the conversation was not being successful and perhaps I should speak to a supervisor. I said that wasnt necessary and again began to ask about a new timeline. Lyn cut me off again and said she was going to pass me to a supervisor. Please note that I never asked to speak to a supervisor.
Lyn returned to the phone and told me that her supervisor, Ms Sally Hutton would personally take care of my query. Assuming, not unnaturally I feel, that this meant that Sally Hutton would look into my original query and email me with an answer, I said ok, thanked her for her time and the call ended.
Some days later, at work, I was called aside by my new team leader, Charlotte, who told me that she had received a complaint passed to her by the UK channel manager, originating from the Customer Service supervisor Sally Hutton, stating that I had upset one of their agents, namely, Lyn.
Lyn claimed that I had been rude to her on the phone. It was not made clear to me exactly what I was supposed to have said or done. I strongly objected to this, making it very clear that Lyn had misrepresented the call.
So on the 4th August 2009 I wrote a second email to the Customer Serivice department, using the same generic address but putting "Att. Sally Hutton" in the subject field. This email detailed every aspect of my complaint and stated that I wished to express my disappointment and distress at the way that my request for assistance re the matter outlined in my original email was being dealt with, highlighting how Lyn had misrepresented the call and the fact that I had still not received an answer to my original query despite a whole month having passed.
On the same day, the 4th August 2009, leading me to think that the emails "passed in cyberspace" as it were, I received an email from Lyn. The email gives the following as a reason for the charges, quoted by the Avis rental station agent in Oviedo:
"customer lives in UK, so he signed that the charge will be in UKL and the rental agreement shows the exchange rate"
Please note the fact that there is no attempt to acknowledge the fact that I stated quite clearly that I WAS NOT offered a choice of currency for payment. Also, the statement by the agent in Oviedo is simply not true. At the time of rental, in Oviedo, at the rental station desk I stated clearly that I lived in Spain and that I wanted to be charged in EUROS. The Avis rental station agent in Oviedo shrugged her shoulders and told me that the problem was my credit card.
Please also note that even it were true, why should it make such a difference? The exchange rate quoted on the rental agreement document states "Amount Due: 154.25EUR... (139.74UKL at exchange rate 1.10EUR to 1.00UKL". So how does that then become 234.64EUR?
So I replied to Lyn on the 4th August 2009, disputing the charges and making it very clear that I had disputed the currency issue both at the time of pick up and on return and that if this was the reason for the overcharge asking it to be refunded given that I should never have been charged in UKL in the first place.
By the 24th August I had still not received any reply. Thinking the matter over it occurred to me to check with my bank if I had indeed been charged in UKL or in EUR. And lo and behold, I was NEVER charged in UKL at all!! I was charged directly in EUR. So the reason given for the overcharge was a load of rubbish!! So on August 24th 2009 I wrote another email to Lyn summarising my complaint and highlighting the glaring failures and inconsistencies which I have explained above. I also pointed out that Sally Hutton had not had the courtesy to respond to me, despite having been told that she would personally take care of it. I asked for a refund and some compensation. I also offered them the option to send me a free rental voucher to cover the cost of my next, forthcoming reservation, (more or less the same money as the overcharge) instead of incurring additional costs by refunding the money. I also asked for a timeline on when I should expect to hear back.
This time Lyn responded immediately, so quickly in fact that she clearly had not had time to digest my email, something you can clearly see by the ludicrous error she made, (presumably because she was in such a hurry to put me in my place) this time stating that I "agreed to be billed in Euros". What a load of hogwash. Here is what she wrote:
"thank you for your e-mail. Attached is a copy of your signed rental agreement sent from the location stating that you agreed to be billed in Euros. This is the reason you have been charged in Euros and your charges are correct"
So of course, I wrote yet another email, this time stating that she had contradicted herself, and that she was still unable to offer a satisfactory explanation as to the additional charges, and that it was totally unjustifiable to simply keep saying that they were correct without an explanation that makes sense. This time I asked her to pass the complaint onto Sally Hutton, the aforementioned supervisor, as we were clearly not getting anywhere. I also asked her for a timeline as to when I should hear back from Sally.
Lyn responded on 26th August 2009, stating that she had forwarded my email to Sally Hutton. No timeline was offered. That was the last communication.
To finish, I would like to point out that the reason I didn't call more than the one time is the exorbitant cost of doing so. Because my reservation was booked in what is referred to as the "UK Channel" (note the GB in the reservation number) any post rental query has to be dealt with by the UK customer service department, which has a 0844 number, which costs money to call from Spain and then on top of that, waiting times can be in excess of 30 minutes!!!! So I have stuck to email.
What I want at this stage is either:
a) my money back in full, a formal apology and at least one free day rental to compensate me for my time and trouble
b) a satisfactory explanation for the additional charges, a formal apology and at least one free day rental to compensate me for my time and trouble
It's perhaps also worth noting that now that I have filed this report I will do the following:
1. On Monday 21st August I will write directly to Sally Hutton asking for redress, telling her that I have filed this report and offering her, and AVIS, the opportunity to respond publicly.
I appreciate that this is a lengthy text and would like to thank everyone who takes the time and effort to read though it.

This was (more or less) rectified some time ago and I confess to never having got round to updating my report.
AVIS finally refunded me the full amount of the overcharge. A different customer service agent emailed me in early September 2009 and offered a full refund. No explanation was given for all the trouble, and no compensation was offered, but by that time I was sick of the whole thing and decided that I had already spent enough time on it.

Pickup Sales Rebounding
September 29, 2008
Filed under Trailer News
For the past few months, vehicle manufacturers have faced steep drops in sales. However,
review of August sales provided some good news with midsize and large-pickup truck sales
showing considerable increases over July, due to dropping fuel prices. Leaders in the
midsize truck category were the Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger; Nissan's Frontier and
Honda's Ridgeline also rose considerably. Among full-size trucks, Chevrolet's Silverado was
not only was this the leading pickup but also the No. 1 selling vehicle in total sales,
above Toyota's Camry.

About Me
I have taken professional images from the sky, land, and underwater. I specialize in getting the image right, no matter the circumstances, no matter the subject, no matter the challenges.
Photography is something special. Anyone can push a button, but as great as cameras are - you have to do more. The image in the modern era must be shot perfectly in terms of the technical settings - but before that background and pose and composition must be right. Finally in this world of perfection, the editing process must be perfect, soothing to the eye, and not disruptive of the image as a representation of reality.
I have shot with professional models to amateur models. I have started professional modeling careers that are still going strong. I am professional and serious about what I do.
If you want great images for your facebook, for your wall, for a coffee table album, for your family, for the memories, or to start a professional career you need to select a photographer that takes photography seriously.
Photography done right is hard work, takes thousands of dollars of professional equipment, and takes time to edit and produce the final image.
I love photography, and I love creating lasting moving images. Now if you are ready, lets shoot!

Kim Jong-Il to provide Hawaiian fireworks for 4th of July
posted at 2:55 pm on June 18, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
What could be more American than "bombs bursting in air" on the Fourth of July, Michael Kinsley notwithstanding? Hawaii may get more Americana than it wants for its Independence Day celebrations, thanks to North Korea's nutcase dictator, Kim Jong-Il. Kim has threatened to shoot a long-range ballistic missile at our 50th state, taking provocation to the edge of a cassus belli:
North Korea may fire a long-range ballistic missile toward Hawaii in early July, a Japanese news report said Thursday, as Russia and China urged the regime to return to international disarmament talks on its rogue nuclear program.
The missile, believed to be a Taepodong-2 with a range of up to 4,000 miles (6,500 kilometers), would be launched from North Korea's Dongchang-ni site on the northwestern coast, said the Yomiuri daily, Japan's top-selling newspaper. It cited an analysis by the Japanese Defense Ministry and intelligence gathered by U.S. reconnaissance satellites.
The missile launch could come between July 4 and 8, the paper said.
While the newspaper speculated the Taepodong-2 could fly over Japan and toward Hawaii, it said the missile would not be able to hit Hawaii's main islands, which are about 4,500 miles (7,200 kilometers) from the Korean peninsula.
Previous launches of the Taepodong-2 have proven unsuccessful, although incrementally improving, so it's hard to determine with certainty that it could not hit the Hawaiian archipelago. Anything launched in that direction, though, would be an act of war, if the US so chose to act on it. Kim either has a death wish, or he's taken the measure of Barack Obama and knows that he will suffer few consequences for the launch.
Joe Biden warned the US that dictators would test Obama and create international crises to see how the inexperienced Commander in Chief would respond. Biden also warned that Obama's response would look wrong, and that the Left would have to rally to his side. That was widely interpreted to mean that Obama would simply refuse to respond at all to provocations, but it's hard to imagine that a missile launch at an American state would get no response at all.
So what will Obama do? Pretend it didn't happen, ask for another strongly-worded memo from the UN, or start providing real consequences for Kim's actions? Say, perhaps, a test of the missile defense system on any launch from the Korean Peninsula? So far, the Obama administration has prompted nothing but escalation from Kim, who apparently believes that he's tested Obama enough and found him wanting.

Heading to the Monster Truck Show in Napier Shane McKay couldn't believe his eyes as he saw his beloved stolen speed boat being towed in the opposite direction.
The Okawa Bay boat owner said the boat named Jessie James, which was once a well known X Games wakeboarding boat, had been pilfered from their front yard on February 4 as partner Krystal Honour picked up their children from kindergarten and he was at work.
He thought that was the last he'd see of the Bayline boat he had owned for three years, after police and the insurance company told him it had probably been stripped. He put up flyers in shops in the hope someone knew where the boat was.
Other homes in their street had also been targeted by thieves, Mr McKay said.
"They all told me it was stripped and probably in pieces and I might be lucky to get the outboard motor back."
But on April 6, as the family headed to Napier, they turned a corner at the Bayview end of the Thermal Explorer Highway and a four-wheel drive, towing a boat exactly like the Jessie James caught his eye as it came around a blind bend heading north towards Taupo, he said.
"I couldn't believe my eyes ... I said there's my boat ... I spun around and pulled in behind it. It was pretty surreal."
Although much of the boat had been stripped with most of the wakeboard poles pulled off and all stickers including the name removed, he recognised it as the Jessie James from a small sticker on the only remaining wakeboard pole.
Calling police from a cellphone, the family continued to follow the vehicle towards Taupo but the driver realised they were being tailed and tried to lose them, Mr McKay said.
"We got in front of them to get their number plate and then spun around to get back behind them. He tried to pull away and we lost sight of him for a few minutes but a police car overtook us and we came around a corner to find [police] had pulled them over."
Police told him the middle aged couple driving an allegedly stolen vehicle with false Ford Falcon number plates on it, were heading to Ngongotaha to drop the boat off, he said.
"We just hooked her up to our car and brought her home ... it was pretty tinnie to get her back."
Insurance paid $11,000 to Mr McKay for the boat and he is now buying it back for $5000.
He can't believe the damage the thieves have done to it.
"I couldn't get over it. They have cracked her hull ... They have pulled all the stickers off and wrecked the inside. I'm planning to do her up. I'm just stoked to have her back," he said. Meanwhile, a 38-year-old Palmerston North man has been charged with theft and is due to reappear in the Palmerston North District Court on May 9.

From the time that I was very little I loved to dig things up, bring dead birds inside the house, eat bugs. Well, this surprised my family because TJ was such a "goody two shoes"! The best was that my human mommy used to bury some types of food and fruit and vegetable peels in the backyard (it is supposed to add minerals to the dirt, who knows?!) Anyway, my favorite hobby was to dig these things up and bring them back inside to their rightful owner! I always waited until they were good and rotten and then I proceeded to do my job! Needless to say, my breath wasn't exactly minty fresh - and Mommy wasn't exactly happy!

Garcia's approach rubbing off in Cleveland
I did so because I have seen many declarations that Steve McNair is that guy, or Brett Favre, or Ray Lewis. True enough, they are tough guys. So is Peyton Manning, who has his own consecutive playing streak, which includes a stint with a broken jaw. And to play football in the NFL at a high level, your toughness should never be questioned.
But have you ever seen Garcia in person? I mean, he's in terrific physical condition for a 34-year-old man but, for comparison sake, McNair is 6-foot-2, 240 pounds and Garcia is about 6-foot, 187 pounds.
Garcia plays with abandon sometimes reckless abandon. I've always admired him, but he completely won me over in a game last season with the 49ers. He was playing with a bad ankle and, more critically, a degenerative (sometimes bulging) disc in his back. And he played this particular game like the Super Bowl, without regard to the long-term effects of the horrific collisions he endured (and caused) while trying to put a W in the win-loss column. On one of those collisions a desperate, successful launch into the end-zone he actually made me think he was crazy. He was playing against the Arizona Cardinals!
"I know the game you're talking about," Garcia said Monday. "It's just the way I play the game."
The point being, Garcia is out to prove himself on every play in every game.

Infiniti Releases First Picture of Seven-Passenger 2013 JX Crossover on Facebook
Infiniti today released its fist image of the upcoming JX Concept and announced two new ad campaigns to show the world that Infiniti doesn't make "ho-hum" vehicles.
The picture that Infiniti released of the upcoming Nissan Murano-based JX crossover doesn't tell us much about it. What the picture -- a shot of the driver said headlight and ensuing profile -- does tell us though is that this thing is going to be massive. The JX, which is set to begin production in the spring, will be Infiniti's first seven-passenger crossover. According to Infiniti Vice President Ben Poore, the 2013 JX will fill a very important niche in the marketplace. "Families don't have many luxury vehicle options today," said Poore. "The new Infiniti JX will be the seven-passenger antidote to the ho-hum luxury crossovers that are out there right now." Right.
In celebration of the JX's seven-passenger capacity, Infiniti is also launching the "Power of 7" social media campaign -- cleverly on the seventh day of the seventh month of the year. The Power of 7 campaign will release seven images of the JX through Infiniti's Facebook and Twitter accounts every Thursday for the next seven weeks, leading up to the concept's debut at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 18. The production version of the 2013 JX will debut at November's Los Angeles Auto Show.
In somewhat related Infiniti news, Infiniti is also launching a new series of TV ads today, touting Infiniti's record of bucking "the status quo."
In somewhat related Infiniti news, Infiniti is also launching a new series of TV ads today, touting Infiniti's record of bucking "the status quo."
According to Infiniti, it's "challenging the status quo" by first releasing the minute long spot to its Facebook fans and Twitter followers first, before the commercial, titled "Challenger" hits the airwaves during the MLB All-Star game next week.
The ad touts Infiniti's contributions to society, like the camera monitor system on its massive QX56 SUV and its blind spot warning hardware available on the M, and then compares them to Albert Einstein's famous E=MC conservation of energy equation and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Infiniti justifies its audacious comparisons by essentially saying like the Berliners, they too challenge conventions and push the boundaries. "When it comes to automotive luxury, there's lots of vanilla out there, cars that can literally lull a buyer into boredom," said Poore. "Infiniti's definition of luxury is different. Our new brand spots demonstrate Infiniti doesn't take a conventional approach, we never have and never will."

Jimi Hendrix: People, Hell & Angels
This new collection of never-before-released Jimi Hendrix tracks is not like one of those bogus Beatles "forgotten tapes" records. The 12 included songs are legit studio recordings of Hendrix playing with musicians outside the Jimi Hendrix Experience in '68 & '69. Guys like Buddy Miles & Billy Cox, with whom he'd later record the Band Of Gypsies album. It's the real deal.

Chromium-based social browser RockMelt launched in private beta last November but is now ready to unleash the social networking love on the general public.
RockMelt is the brainchild of Netscape founder Marc Andreesen and is a social browser built around Facebook, Twitter and a multitude of other realtime feeds which integrate fully with your web browsing experience. When it launched, the only way to download the beta version was by getting an invite to do so. In the months since launch, it has been downloaded less than a million times and has "a few hundred thousand active users" according to CEO of RockMelt, Eric Vishria.
Similar to Google's Chrome browser, RockMelt is built on top of Chromium and users can even take advantage of Chrome Apps from the Chrome Web Store. What sets RockMelt apart from other browsers is the presence of panels on the right and left with Facebook updates and online indicators, RSS feeds and Twitter feeds – all of which are customisable. Many users find the ability to use services such as Facebook chat directly while surfing the web as a huge advantage. Others claim RockMelt is simply Chrome with extensions that you have to use.
Some stats from the testing period show that between 20 and 30 percent of users who tried RockMelt are still active users, in that they use it at least once every seven days. The average RockMelt user has the browser open for six hours a day, suggesting people using computers for their work are the primary users. They interact with the Facebook panel three times a day, but interact with the feeds and apps on the right hand side 2.5 times every hour.
You can download the browser from RockMelt's site and with the whole world able to download it now, we will see if it can really challenge the likes of Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer for online domination. Have you been trying RockMelt? If so let us know what you think in the comments.

About Rabbi Chaim Shmuelevitz
Chaim Leib Shmuelevitz חיים לייב שמואלביץ, b. 1902, Kovno; d. 1979, Jerusalem, was a member of the faculty of the Mirrer Yeshiva for more than 40 years, in Poland, Shanghai and Jerusalem, serving as Rosh yeshiva during its sojourn in Shanghai from 1941 to 1947, and again in the Mirrer Yeshiva in Jerusalem from 1965 to 1979. He taught, guided, and inspired thousands of disciples throughout his lifetime, by word and deed, with legendary diligence and intensity in Torah study.
Early years
Shmuelevitz was born on the second day of Rosh Hashana 5663 (3 October 1902) in Kovno, Lithuania, to Rabbi Refoel Alter Shmuelevitz and Ettel (née Horowitz), a daughter of Rabbi Yosef Yozel Horwitz, known as the Alter of Novhardok. The sandek at his bris milah was Rabbi Yitzchok Blazer ("Reb Itzele Peterburger"), a Torah and mussar luminary of the time, who was one of Rabbi Yisrael Salanter's greatest disciples.
In Chaim Leib's youth, his family moved to Stutchin. Until the age of 16, he was educated by his father, who was one of the leading yeshiva lecturers in Lithuania. In 1919 Rabbi Refoel Alter, who was then the rosh yeshiva of Shaarei Torah in Grodno, died suddenly. Within a very short time, his mother died too, orphaning Chaim Leib, his younger brother Shlomo, and two sisters.
Rabbi Refoel Alter's position at the yeshiva was taken up by Rabbi Shimon Shkop. Chaim Leib developed a close bond with Rabbi Shkop. At the age of 18, Chaim Leib's mentor invited him to deliver the third-level shiur in the preparatory academy at the yeshiva. Shmuelevitz held this position for a few years before transferring to the yeshiva in Mir. Many of his students of those years later became great Torah leaders, and his own four years in Grodno with Rabbi Shkop had a profound influence on his approach to Talmudic analysis.
At the age of 22, Shmuelevitz headed a group of students who transferred from Grodno to Mir. In accordance with the contemporary practice in the yeshiva world, Chaim Leib became known as Chaim Stutchiner, after the shtetl in which he grew up. The Mirrer rosh yeshiva, Rabbi Eliezer Yehuda Finkel, set his sights on Shmuelevitz as his eventual spiritual heir. He set the seal on this future appointment by offering his student the hand of his daughter in marriage.
Shmuelevitz married the rosh yeshiva's daughter on the last day of Hanukkah 5690 (3 January 1930). A scant few years later, at the relatively young age of 31, Shmuelevitz was appointed as a maggid shiur, delivering regular lectures. Rabbi Shmuelevitz's lectures were modeled on the study strategy of his erstwhile mentor, Rabbi Shimon Shkop, personalized in a style of his own. The hallmark of his lectures was depth combined with a fabulous breadth; it was not uncommon for him to cite 20 or 30 different sources from far-flung corners of the Talmud and its commentaries during a single shiur. These shiurim attracted a wide audience, including some of the most advanced students in Mir. World War II
With the outbreak of World War II, Mir Yeshiva was forced into exile. The students and faculty fled from Mir to Vilna, where they stayed for about two months, after which they moved to Keidan, where they managed to set up the yeshiva once more in 1940. After being ordered out of Keidan seven months later by the Communist authorities, the yeshiva divided into four groups, each numbering between eighty and one hundred students. Rabbi Shmuelevitz's shiurim continued virtually without interruption throughout the early period of World War II, while when the yeshiva was continually in transit. In late 1940, hundreds of Mir yeshiva students obtained visas from Chiune Sugihara to travel via Siberia and Vladivostok to Japan.
The yeshiva stayed in Kobe, Japan, for about six months, and then relocated to Shanghai for the next five years. Although living conditions were extremely difficult, the yeshiva prospered. As Rabbi Eliezer Yehuda Finkel had gone to Palestine to obtain visas for the yeshiva and was forced to remain there, Rabbi Shmuelevitz and the mashgiach, Rabbi Yechezkel Levenstein, assumed responsibility for the day-to-day running of the yeshiva.
Somehow, Rabbi Shmuelevitz became responsible for the financial needs of all Jewish learning institutions in the city, not just his own. These included contingents of the famed yeshivas of Kamenetz, Kletzk, Lubavitch, and Lublin. This was despite the fact that exchanging foreign currency in Shanghai was fraught with danger and Rabbi Shmuelevitz lived with a perpetual fear of being apprehended by the authorities.
A short while after arriving in Shanghai, Rabbi Shmuelevitz received American visas only for himself and his family. He refused them, saying that he would leave only when all the students had received their visas. This ultimately meant staying in Shanghai for five and a half years. Move to Jerusalem
In 1947 the yeshiva moved again — as always, as a single unit — this time, to the United States, where Rabbi Shmuelevitz spent six months before rejoining his father-in-law, Rabbi Eliezer Yehudah Finkel, in the Mirrer Yeshiva in Jerusalem. For the next 32 years, until his death in 1978, Rabbi Shmuelevitz remained in Mir-Jerusalem, disseminating his unique wisdom and insight to thousands of disciples.
He became active in Agudath Israel in Israel, and its Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah (Council of Torah Sages) on which he served. He also became the father-in-law of Rabbi Nochum Partzovitz, his successor as rosh yeshiva.
Rabbi Shmuelevitz was well known for his ability to become totally engrossed in his Torah study for hours at a time. His ethical discourses, many of which have been published in English, are considered classics. They offer novel interpretations and reveal his penetrating insights into human nature.
His greatness in Torah was matched only by his sterling character. Possessing an all-encompassing concern for his fellow Jew, his constant preoccupation with the well-being of others was a manifestation of the love that poured forth from his great heart.
Rabbi Shmuelevitz's respect for his father was legendary and he quoted him often in both Torah lectures and mussar discourses. He considered his father's handwritten Torah chiddushim (new Torah insights) his most valued possessions. During the Six-Day War, when the yeshiva was within range of Jordanian artillery fire, Rabbi Shmuelevitz sent some of the manuscripts to America with his uncle, Rabbi Avraham Yoffen, with specific instructions that he carry them by hand and not put them in his luggage, because, "Dos iz meyn gantze leben (This is my whole life)."
Final days
A few days after Sukkot 1978, Rabbi Shmuelevitz was rushed to the hospital and, for the next two months, his life hung by a thread. Even during the weeks of semi-consciousness his lips moved, and from time to time he could be heard mumbling words of Torah. Rabbi Moshe Feinstein said, "The world rested upon Reb Chaim's shoulders." Jews worldwide prayed for his recovery, but it was not to be. Two months later on the third of Tevet, Rabbi Shmuelevitz died at the age of 76. Nearly 100,000 mourners attended his funeral. He is buried on Har HaMenuchot.
During his lifetime, Rabbi Shmuelevitz committed to paper his every lecture and public address, leaving behind at his death thousands of handwritten pages, including chiddushim on every tractate of the Talmud.

October 18, 2009, Miami football coach Randy Shannon had an important decision to make.
After his Hurricanes overcame a 10-point deficit to knock off Duke in Durham's Wallace Wade Stadium, Shannon faced a difficult question from the assembled media.
True freshman quarterback Jacory Harris had just become the first Miami passer in four years to account for five touchdowns (four running and one throwing) in a game, after relieving starter Robert Marve in the second quarter following an interception on a poorly thrown deep ball.
After weeks of fans calling for Harris to assume the role of the team's top signal caller, Shannon had the opportunity to make the popular switch for good.
Instead, the second-year head coach opted for a seemingly unlikely response.
"Robert Marve is our starter," Shannon said.
And with that, Shannon made a statement.
At least for the time being, there would be no competition, and certainly, no controversy.
And Marve responded a week later, leading the Hurricanes to a come-from–behind win against Wake Forest.
Now, while Shannon's first two seasons in Miami have undoubtedly been a rough road, the former defensive coordinator understands team dynamics and, though Marve would eventually lose his job and transfer anyway, Shannon's answer was the right one and one that Cal coach Jeff Tedford should take a good look at.
After week one of the Bears' fall camp, three things are obvious:
A) Jahvid Best is as good as advertised (and advertised and advertised).
B) Cal's defense is poised for heights unwitnessed thus far in the Tedford era.
C) And finally, Kevin Riley will undeniably be the Bears' starter under center come September 5.
In most cases, two out of three wouldn't be so bad, but Tedford's refusal to acknowledge Riley as the starter NOW could have disastrous repercussions.
My quarterbacking background pales in comparison to Tedford's, but I can write with absolute certainty that Riley can't be happy with his coach's apparent indecision between the Portland, Ore., native and redshirt sophomore Brock Mansion.
Ask him about the situation and Riley will give you the company line; he feels like the job is his to lose.
And until he's named the starter, officially, Riley will continue to play 'not to lose,' looking over his shoulder with every misstep or bad ball.
The one upside to Tedford's silence is that it's giving Mansion motivation to improve. Brock legitimately believes that he's got a shot at the start, and with that, his fall has been noticeably stronger than in the past.
But ask his receivers, they'll hint that Riley leads the race. And I'll add, at the moment, the Texan isn't even close.
That said, though, Riley hasn't been allowed to reach his full potential.
The notion that your coach doesn't have absolute confidence in you is a jarring one for a quarterback, leading to inevitable mistakes in the pursuit of perfect football.
And that's the message that Tedford is sending Riley by not naming a starter with less than three weeks between them and the season-opener against Maryland.
But now isn't the time for mind games.
While Cal's defense should be stellar and Best's output, out-of-this-world, balance breeds victory.
In Urban Meyer's tenure at Florida, no Gator has rushed for 1,000 yards, but a well-rounded offense has garnered college football's highest paid coach two national titles in four seasons.
If the Bears are to take a stab at their most realistic Rose Bowl chances in years, Riley's play is going to need to be at its peak, an impossible task if he doesn't feel he has the faith of his head coach.

Plus future projects . . .
Age isn't stopping director Ridley Scott (74). Next up for the Prometheus director is The Counselor starring Brad Pitt, the Blade Runner sequel, a western and a Biblical epic based on the life of Moses (no, really).
No word on The Forever War and Brave New World – the two projects science fiction fans would like to see Scott tackle the most – though.
Here's a scene from the upcoming Blade Runner sequel in the director's own words:
"There'll be a vast farmland where there are no hedges or anything in sight, and it's flat like the plains of—where's the Great Plains in America? Kansas, where you can see for miles. And it's dirt, but it's being raked. On the horizon is a combine harvester which is futuristic with klieg lights, 'cause it's dawn. The harvester is as big as six houses. In the foreground is a small white clapboard hut with a porch as if it was from Grapes of Wrath. From the right comes a car, coming in about six feet off the ground being chased by a dog. And that's the end of it, I'm not gonna tell you anything else."

Hi wdpwdp,
We checked this for you and I can confirm that we will not be investing in making BT SmartTalk compatible for Windows 7 Mobile, but we're keeping a close eye on the uptake of Windows Mobile 8.

Thank you for your response. Pretty disappointed that BT will not be making a Windows 7.5 version available.
Looks like the minority lose out again. Always thought BT was for everyone.
on 02-02-2013 18h53
Also disappointed with BT for not making the app for Windows Phone 7.5. What I don't understand is that they can make a BT WiFi App for Windows Phone 7.5 which I have on my phone, but can't do the same for the BT SmartTalk App as I wouldn't think that there would be much difference between Windows Phone 7.5 (soon to be 7.8) and Windows Phone 8 which they might consider in the future.

As I hav a Lumia 800 on windows 7.8 on contract for the next year I am pretty unhappy that BT is not writing a smart talk app for windows 7.8

Not amused that BT should make this available to some customers and not to others
We all pay the same bills
on 29-03-2013 1h22
You are obviously not keeping that close an eye on WP uptake or you would see it has increased market share four fold in the last 12 month.
With the uptake of Windows 8, the penetration of Xbox in the home, and Nokia's worldwide distibution setup; windows phone is expected to have around 50% of market share by 2015 (Android the other 50)
People are getting wise to the Apple hype, fur coat and no knickers, as the expression goes.

The price of a barrel of oil keeps rising ($106+ as of this writing) which is putting a crimp in airline profits – or erasing them altogether.
Why Airline Ticket Prices Keep Going Up
Southwest: No Profit in 1st Quarter
Southwest, for example, now says it does not expect to earn a profit in the first quarter of 2012 because fuel costs were nearly 5 percent higher than anticipated. Media reports also quote Southwest executives as saying demand for spring travel weakened late last month but no one seems certain if that's an ominous trend or a minor distraction.
Find Cheap Flights for Summer Vacation: 4 Simple Tips
Delta, United Feeling Some Pain
Delta, meanwhile, does expect to turn a profit but now says it will be less than its original forecast and possibly as much as half of what was predicted.
At the same time, United executives say they will "cut flying" by as much as one-and-a-half percent. Cutting capacity is a standard strategy to keep profits up by filling empty seats to drive up demand.
As airfare analyst Rick Seaney points out, airline ticket prices have been on the rise for some time now, rising about 17 percent overall in 2011 and up an average of about 4 percent so far this year alone.
"We've also seen four attempted airfare hikes already in 2012," said Seaney, noting that two of these attempts were a success. "We will likely see more."
4 Ways to Save on Flights to Europe this Summer
Passenger Demand Key to Airfare Prices
Meanwhile, US Airways President Scott Kirby has been quoted as saying, "I do think it's still a strong demand environment," meaning there is little incentive to discount. All this could change depending on what happens when during the upcoming peak shopping season for summer vacation travel.
As analyst Seaney said recently, "If you could afford to fly last summer, you'll probably be able to afford it this vacation season," but he warned that if prices continue to rise, there may well be passenger push-back. If that happens, demand will dry up to a certain extent, and the airlines will be forced to do the unthinkable – fly with empty middle seats – or more likely, lower their prices.

We're leaving the homemade puff pastry to the pastry chefs and using a shortcut to make these super simple Overstuffed Napoleons. This classic, bakery-style delight is creamy, rich, and an all-time favorite!
What You'll Need:
- 1 (17.3-ounce) package puff pastry (2 sheets)
- 2 (4-serving size) packages instant vanilla pudding and pie filling
- 1 3/4 cups milk, divided
- 1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa
What To Do:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degree F. Bake the puff pastry sheets according to the package directions; remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine the pudding mix and 1-1/2 cups milk. Whisk until thickened, then fold in the whipped topping. Spread the mixture over 1 layer of puff pastry. Place the other puff pastry flat side up over the pudding.
- Using a cookie sheet, press down lightly to evenly distribute the pudding and flatten the pastry just until the filling begins to ooze out the sides.
- Combine the confectioners' sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup milk; mix well. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the glaze in a small bowl; spread the remaining glaze over the top of the napoleon.
- Stir the cocoa into the reserved glaze; mix well. Drizzle over the glazed napoleon and chill for at least 3 hours before serving. Carefully cut into serving-sized pieces with a serrated knife.

A great little live set from the glory days of the Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin Big Band – a series of performances from Japan, recorded in 1976, all featuring the ensemble at its best! The double-length nature of the record takes the group even farther than usual – really letting them stretch out with the kind of bold tones and broad colors that made the group so great. Soloists include Bobby Shew on trumpet, Jimmy Knepper on trombone, and Gary Foster on alto sax – alongside leaders Lew Tabackin on tenor and flute, and Toshiko Akioshi on piano. Titles include a nicely dancing reading of the classic "Warning: Success May Be Hazardous To Your Health" – plus "Kogun", "Henpecked Old Man", "Tuning Up", "Since Perry/Yet Another Tear", and "Soliloquy". © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Housing & Residential Life
Living with a roommate
Your roommate can help define your college experience. Whether it's an old friend or someone you've never met, having a roommate will give you the chance to learn something new about yourself and about other people.
Most students living in the residence halls will have at least one roommate in their college career. Each room is single sex, so female students will have female roommates, and male students will have male roommates. The most important step is to create a living situation that works for both of you.
Having a good roommate relationship relies on both of you being willing to get to know each other. To keep out the drama, there has to be communication, compromise, and understanding.
- Talk with your roommate early about the expectations you have for each other. Things to discuss include:
- Overnight guests
- Cleaning the room
- Doing the dishes
- Sharing food
- Television, video game, and stereo etiquette
- Quiet times for sleep and study
- Decide early on who will bring what for your room. You won't need two coffee makers, two sets of cookware, and so forth.
- Discuss the rules outlined in the Housing Handbook.
- Decide how you want to hold each other accountable for issues as they arise.
- Don't let things fester, its best to deal with issues as they arise rather than waiting for them to pile up.
- Be honest with your roommate. Tell them when you do or don't like something that is going on in the room.
- Decide early on about when and in what situations you will meet with each other to talk over issues in the room. Try to meet at least once per month just to touch base and more often if necessary.
- Your roommate has the right to read, study, and sleep just like you do. Try to keep noise, guests, and other distractions to a minimum. Ask first before inviting over a bunch of friends.
- Don't borrow your roommate's stuff without asking. Chances are they will be happy to share food or lend you that really nice sweater or game console.
- Check with your roommate about overnight guests. Remember, it is their space too.
- Keep it clean. Nobody likes dirty dishes and dust bunnies. If you feel like you're doing all the cleaning, suggest setting a regular schedule so everyone has some responsibility.
- Personal space is personal space. Respect your roommate's privacy.
- Make sure your guests know and follow the rules you and your roommate have established, as well as the rules of the university. Remember that you are responsible for your guest's actions.
- If you have a problem, talk with your roommate. Try to resolve issues quickly, honestly, and without drawing in people that aren't involved. Don't just stew about an issue, talk about it.
- If you and your roommate can't settle an issue alone, talk to your Resident Assistant. They will do their best to help you resolve issues and have been trained to help in these situations.
- Don't try to be the boss of everything. Treat your roommate as an equals and be ready to compromise.
