Violet: Mental sneering
"You're just as useful as the rest of us," Kayden had reassured me. Yeah, right. Oops. Keep your thoughts quiet, goddammit! I moaned at myself internally. We had skipped downstairs. I am just getting used to the constant diet of muffins, and to be very honest, I am not looking forward to eating another one. I need something healthy, I told myself. Kayden looks at me and grins.
"What?" I can't help but smile back. She runs towards a mini fridge in the corner of the kitchen. She pulls it open, and there are bowls of berries stacked up against and next to eachother, any free, open space was being suffocated.
"I'm sure Aysh won't mind." She snickers quietly and grabs two bowls. Confusement sweeps through me.
"Who the hell is Aysh?" I blurt out needlessly, Kayden obviously already heard my thoughts.
"Oh - She's a new girl. I'll go get her if you like.." Yay! More friends. Maybe this won't be so bad after all..
"Sure!" I bubble, maybe a bit too enthusiastically. We both fall into hysterics of laughter. I sure do miss being able to do this..
With the blink of an eye, Kayden is out of her seat and racing through 'The unit' - I mentally sneer the name - as I sit in the kitchen on my own, oblivious to my surroundings, popping berries into my mouth one after one.

|Hidden meaning: Scrolls, tablets and other artifacts, including an incense bowl, were also found at the same site as the tablets
This ancient collection of 70 tiny books, their lead pages bound with wire, could unlock some of the secrets of the earliest days of Christianity.
Academics are divided as to their authenticity but say that if verified, they could prove as pivotal as the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947.
On pages not much bigger than a credit card, are images, symbols and words that appear to refer to the Messiah and, possibly even, to the Crucifixion and Resurrection.Adding to the intrigue, many of the books are sealed, prompting academics to speculate they are actually the lost collection of codices mentioned in the Bible's Book Of Revelation.
The books were discovered five years ago in a cave in a remote part of Jordan to which Christian refugees are known to have fled after the fall of Jerusalem in 70AD. Important documents from the same period have previously been found there.
Initial metallurgical tests indicate that some of the books could date from the first century AD.
Revelation: Experts speculate that the tablets could be the lost collection of codices referred to in the Bible's Book Of Revelation
If the dating is verified, the books would be among the earliest Christian documents, predating the writings of St Paul.
The prospect that they could contain contemporary accounts of the final years of Jesus's life has excited scholars – although their enthusiasm is tempered by the fact that experts have previously been fooled by sophisticated fakes.
David Elkington, a British scholar of ancient religious history and archeology, and one of the few to have examined the books, says they could be 'the major discovery of Christian history'.
'It is a breathtaking thought that we have held these objects that might have been held by the early saints of the Church,' he said.
But the mysteries between their ancient pages are not the books' only riddle. Today, their whereabouts are also something of a mystery. After their discovery by a Jordanian Bedouin, the hoard was subsequently acquired by an Israeli Bedouin, who is said to have illegally smuggled them across the border into Israel, where they remain.
|Lines of inquiry: The metal tablets could change our understanding of the Bible
|A 16th century painting depicting Jesus's death. The metal books contain pages with images, symbols and words that appear to refer to the Messiah and, possibly even, to the Crucifixion
|Dr Margaret Barker, a former president of the Society for Old
Testament Study, confirmed that a sealed book is mentioned
in the Bible
'There are walls depicted on other pages of these books too and they almost certainly refer to Jerusalem. It is a Christian crucifixion taking place outside the city walls.'
The British team leading the work on the discovery fears that the present Israeli 'keeper' may be looking to sell some of the books on to the black market, or worse – destroy them.
But the man who holds the books denies the charge and claims they have been in his family for 100 years.
Dr Margaret Barker, a former president of the Society for Old Testament Study, said: 'The Book of Revelation tells of a sealed book that was opened only by the Messiah.
'Other texts from the period tell of sealed books of wisdom and of a secret tradition passed on by Jesus to his closest disciples. That is the context for this discovery.'
|Groundbreaking find: A section of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which were unearthed in 1947
Mr Elkington, who is leading British efforts to have the books returned to Jordan, said: 'It is vital that the collection can be recovered intact and secured in the best possible circumstances, both for the benefit of its owners and for a potentially fascinated international audience.'
*British scientists have uncovered up to eight million mummified dogs, thought to have been sacrificed to Anubis, the god of the dead, 2500 years ago after excavating tunnels in the ancient Eygptian city of Saqqara.(By FIONA MACRAE dailymail.co.uk)

Apollo: The Cottage and a New IdentityMature
"I'm sorry, truly I am," Primrose said, her eyes full of emotion. We held each other's gazes for a moment, saying nothing more until the waitress came back to our table with two espressos and a slice of carrot cake.
It was obvious that the waitress had primped herself up before returning because now her makeup was heavier and I could the top of her black lace bra.
"Anything else I can get you," she asked suggestively. I debated using my allure on her, curious on how much sluttier she could get, but I remembered giving my word to Primrose that I wouldn't. Plus, if I tempted her, she would most probably linger around our table and I didn't want her overhearing our conversation.
"No thank you," I replied curtly. I turned my attention away from her and onto Primrose. Lifting my hand from under the table, I began caressing her soft cheek. "I remembered how much you enjoyed carrot cake, so I bought you a piece." From the corner of my eye I saw the waitress leave, disheartened by my lack of interest in her.
Primrose slapped my hand away.
"What do you think you're doing," she hissed.
"Letting us have some privacy without the company of human ears." Primrose laughed. It was dry and humourless.
"You've got a lot to learn about the human world. There are very few places where we will not be eavesdropped on."
"Take me to one then," I insisted. My hands were gripping onto hers. She looked down at them with slight distain and tugged them away.
"Humanity has rendered you vulnerable, Apollo," she warned. "This realm is dangerous – more dangerous than it appears – and it does not welcome the weak."
I noticed that as she said it, her eyes glinted a cold grey. It was as though for a minute there, another spirit had possessed her body. An evil one. I was going to have to be more wary around her.
Three hours later, after catching many buses, a train and some cabs we ended up standing outside a house in the countryside. It was a dainty little cottage, probably homing no more than four or five people at once. I was surprised when she said that there were six occupying the house already.
"There are two floors below," she remarked when she saw my incredulous expressing.
Contradicting the rather cold attitude she'd been directing towards me for the whole journey, she reached down and squeezed my hand encouragingly as we walked into the cottage. There were many questions spinning around in my head. Would the humans be nice? How long do I have to stay here for? Will I ever find my true love? This experience was all so new to me and as much as I hated to admit it, I was scared!
The cottage looked larger inside than it did on the outside. This was due to the fact that the walls were painted cream and there was little furniture. I was certainly not going to be pampered here, I noted wryly.
As if reading my thoughts, Primrose said, "You'll find that everything here is plain and unremarkable. Simply just the basics. But here is one of the few places in this realm where, for at least a few hours a day when the humans are out working, we will not be overheard."
Her words reassured and I nodded. As I stepped off to explore the rest of the cottage, Primrose called me back.
"Yes," I said, finding her facial expression a little daunting.
"You are forgetting that you cannot go by the name Apollo the Sun G-d here," she said. "You will need a whole new identity. This is not my first time here, but the humans remain ignorant of my true nature. How about the name Austin Jones?"
"Sure. Whatever."
"And I am your cousin, but as the name Primrose is common here, it does not need to be changed."
"Yeah," I replied, half listening and more interested in my surroundings.
"Apollo," she snapped, uncharacteristic anger flowing through her. "That means you cannot flirt with me or show any signs that you are somewhat sexually inclined to me."
"Well when you're acting all moody, like now, I don't exactly feel the urge to coax you into my bed." I laughed, but I was dead serious. There was something up with Primrose. These sudden violent mood swings was not normal for the sweet and innocent girl I used to love.

Tutorial: Guide to Temperature Control Vaping
Introducing a quick overview of Temperature Control Vaping. Are you tired of that horrible taste you get from a dry hit? Tired of burning the wick in your coil and having to replace it, and at the worst possible time too? Are you tired of vapes that are just too hot? If so, it sounds like Temperature Control Vaping might be right for you. Temperature Control Vaping seems to be the next step in harm reduction for nicotine users by creating a fool proof way of limiting the temperature of the coils preventing burnt wicks or dry hits or simply keeping it from getting hotter than you prefer. Here we will discuss this technology, what it is, and why we want it.
We strong recommend to use reliable and authentic vape batteries with your Temperature Control Vape Device and Vape Kit: LG HG2 18650 LiMn 3000mAh Battery and Sony VTC4 18650 2100mAh 30A Battery
What Is Temperature Control Vaping:
The Temperature Control (TC) feature of your vaporizer allows you to pre-set a value in Celsius / Fahrenheit that your coil temperature will not exceed. When the TC feature detects that the coil hits your pre-set (temperature) value, it acts as a limiter and will adjust, restrict, or cut-off the power to the coil until the temperature falls below your pre-set temperature value. TC keeps your coil temperature at a fixed rate, no matter what your preferred vaping style is, whether it's little inhales, big inhales, mouth to lung inhales, straight to the lung inhales or Olympic style chain vaping. The best analogy that I like to use is Temperature Control on your vaporizer (while vaping at a pre-set coil temperature, lightly or heavily) is very similar to Cruise Control on your automobile (while driving at pre-set speed, going uphill or downhill).
First Time Temperature Control Setup:
Setting up Temperature Control for the first time is a lot easier than you think, and most of what you already know about configuring your vaporizer will still apply when using the Temperature Control (TC) feature. The very first thing you need to do is make sure your vaporizer is set to the proper Temperature Control Mode for the type of coil you are going to use in your Tank, RBA, RTA, or RDA. Depending on your vaporizer, it may have a single TC Vape Mode that supports both Nickel (Ni) and Titanium (Ti) coils, or it may have a specific Temperature Control Mode that must be set to support either Nickel (Ni) or Titanium (Ti) coils individually. The second thing you need to do after attaching the tank to your vape mod is to "lock in the base resistance" of the coil while at room temperature. Locking in the base resistance of the coil at room temperature provides the Temperature Control Vaping feature with critical information needed to function properly. It is very important to note that this step is critical in the setup process, otherwise the base resistance will be incorrect and Temperature Control readings would be rendered inaccurate. At this point, you can now set the recommended wattage for the coil you are using (check recommended wattage rating for coil on manufacturers' website). The last and final step is selecting a temperature that your coil should not exceed in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Find the latest and the greatest Temperature Control Vape Mods here.
Recommended Temperatures for TC Mod:
As with most vaporizer settings, it is always best to start low and work your way up, much like you did with the wattage, but this time it's the maximum temperature of your coil that you're setting. Common vaping temperatures are in the range of 200°C- 250°C / 392°F - 480°F, with the temperature usually set in increments of 5°C or 10°F. Since you now have control over the temperature of your coil, it is an easy task to dial-in that sweet spot on your favorite e-juice with relative ease. Your personal preference and taste will decide what temperature range works best for you, and since all e-juices are not created equal, the sweet spot will most likely vary from PG/VG blend to e-juice manufacturer.
Joules vs Wattage:
Some newer Temperature Control vaporizers now include an additional setting that allows you to choose either joules mode or wattage mode. So what exactly is a joule, and how does it compare to our familiar wattage setting? A joule is simply another way to measure energy. To be exact, a joule is 1 amp passing through a resistance of 1 ohm per second. 1 watt equals 1 joule per second. 40 W for 1 second = 40 J 40 W for 3 seconds = 120 J So what does this mean for vaping? Since this is a fairly new measurement in vape devices, some vape mods might differ from others, but the ones that we are familiar with, such as the IPV4, the watts basically equal the joules setting. Vaping at the 40 joules setting is comparable to vaping at 40 watts.
Vaping Safety:
Nickel (Ni) and Titanium (Ti) coils are typically wrapped to very low resistances and should never be used in a vaporizer that doesn't have a Temperature Control Vaping feature. Nickel (Ni) and Titanium (Ti) coils should never be dry fired for extended periods of time, although pulsing the coil intermittently in Temperature Control Mode can be done with relative safety. Nickel (Ni) and Titanium (Ti) coils should never be used in Variable Voltage or Variable Wattage Mode (VV/VW) on any vaporizer. Always make sure you install properly rated batteries for a vaporizer that features removable batteries.

I got the Smok osub 80w what the best setting. For that mod. Please help
What is the best ti, ni and power settings recommended for a snowwolf mini 75w? The setting I keep trying make it not a pleasureable vape experience at all and I don't really know what I am doing to be honest.
Question. If I was running the Horizon Arctic V8 with the 0.2 Kanathal, should I still be running them in VW mode or is it safe to do them in TC & what settings should I be using on a Wismec RX200s?
So I hope someone here can help me! I am starting to doubt what I thought I knew about coils and TC mode. So on my new Smok G priv it asks for 3 choices of materials when I have TC mode on. Nickel, Titanium and Stainless steel. Now Recently a friend told me that you dont get stainless steel coils but as far as my research has gone on the Smok coils I use it is made from stainless steel and I am actually choosing the correct material! Is that correct? Does smok produce the Big baby X4 coils in stainless steel coils and is that the material I should select or am I losing it now?
No need to set wattage in Ni TC mode. Just temp. I recommend around 400-450F. Beautiful vape production and flavor.
Read your instruction manuals guys! watch a YouTube video atleast sheesh
When you press your fire button the mod will automatically set the correct wattage for whatever atomizer you're using guys. I just got my Topbox Mini from a sponsor and I'm loving it. I'm using the pre-installed Ni200 @ 420 degrees. Great cloud output, cool vapor and flavor is good. I'm loving everything about this kit.

Hi, I've been scouring the internet for days looking for an answer for this, but no luck. I recently purchased the Kangertech Topbox Mini. I'm using the 0.15 ohms Ni200 coil, which apparently you should only use in temperature control mode.
To put it in temp control mode, I'm pressing the fire button three times and choosing the 'Ni' option. However, I can then only adjust the temperature and not the wattage, which appears on the screen as 75watts. From what I've read online – and, indeed, from the instructions which came with the device – this is too high. It's recommended to only vape with this coil between 20-45w.
I've also found that I get no vape at all when using a low temperature, such as 200 degrees C, in temp mode – but when I up the temperature, I get a burnt taste and sometimes the battery flashes (depsite charge) or rapidly depletes. Although I am also having battery issues in power mode. I'm currently vaping this coil using the only mode where I can change the wattage, at 20w, and am finding the device gets very hot and the battery only lasts a few hours (although this could be due to over-vaping!). I'm using a 18650 battery, as recommended in the instructions.
I'm utterly confused as to which setting to use for this coil and why all the advice is to vape in temperature control mode when you cannot change the wattage on this device? If Kanger recommend vaping this coil between 20-45w, then I don't even see how using temp control mode with it is possible?
Any advice would be massively appreciated! Thanks in advance :)
i just got mi kbox 200 w with toptank mini but my questions is i dont what this means ni/ti/nicr/sus and i dont know witch one i need to used and i dont know what watt i need to used please if any one can help me
hi, i'm using evic vtc mini with iSub s tank. Coil is 0.5ohm (came with tank). now how i'll justify which type of coil this is? NI,TI or SS? and which mode will be better for this coil?
Hi there, i just received my subox mini and im having issues with vapor production and the hits are harsh and not producing much vapor. Im new to this and was wondering what i am doing wrong ? i primed the coil (0.5) and have the watts set at 25. any help would be great

From "Dog Bites Man" File: Woman Gets What She Wanted, Bitches About It Afterwards
Across America, there are millions of American men who made the decision to get married and have kids, instead of just partying and playing their lives away. And I bet some of them could write a "gee, if I hadn't had a family I could have worked harder, made more money and gotten laid a LOT MORE" columns. And if they did, you know what we'd call them?Ass-wi-pes.Oh, but here's Mrs. "I Am Woman Hear Me Roar" whining about the consequences of her decisions, who has become a rallying point for women who got exactly the life the chose–"I want to stay home, not be financially responsible for my family and instead do the work of running the home and raising kids"–and now want everyone else to feel bad for them?Boo-frickin'-hoo.

McNeives is advising on all aspects of the website, including defamation issues and commercial contracts.
Partner Liam McNeive, an alumnus of Stonyhurst College in Clitheroe whose own entry reads 'Doing media, communications and technology law in London. Wife, two kids, nice suburban dwelling' said: "Friends Reunited is the only internet client to have at the moment. It's so successful, and the £5 fee you have to pay to email other people on the site, as well as the advertising revenue, means it's viable as a business."
Friends Reunited began life as a forum for users to tell their school friends what they are doing now, but it has since created sections for people to discuss their former teachers.
A teacher is currently suing a former pupil for writing on the site that he had been sacked for making "rude remarks about girls". Friends Reunited itself is not a party in this action, but McNeive is advising the site on its liability in such cases.
Prominent lawyers who appear on the Friends Reunited site include Halliwell Landau senior partner Alec Craig and Olswang chief executive Jonathan Goldstein.

Movies: I have many influences. I like a diverse variety of films from Sci Fi (Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, LOTR), to action (Indiana Jones, Sherlock Holmes, The Dark Knight, X-men, Robocop), to Romantic films (A Walk to Remember, Disney's Beauty and the Beast), to Comedy. (High Fidelity, Grosse Point Blank, Young Frankenstein, etc.)

(If you have never read "Breakfast Smoothies" you might want to read the short introductory page. Explanations about the most blatant lies usually follow the essay.)
Men aren't really in control, and, we're not that well organized.
Erica just rolled her eyes while Ben nodded in careful agreement.
"Could you not start in on this subject until Alicia finishes making the smoothie," he said in a low voice. It is Alicia's contention that men cause most of the problems in the world and they have been in control far too long. Knowing this, Ben was thinking of his breakfast. He didn't want me upsetting her before he got his smoothie.
Alicia likes making smoothies and she insists they are good for us. However, she isn't about to provide table service around the pool (and she shouldn't, by the way). So after I served smoothies to my two neighbors, I continued.
If I were in charge men would be much better organized than we are now.
"How so?" said Ben (Erica just concentrated on her smoothie).
Well, take last night. Alicia and I went out to eat. Just down the street. Nothing special.
Now, the first thing I look for in a restaurant, after you get past the fake line that the hostess keeps you standing in to make the restaurant look busy from the parking lot, is how many tables have food on them. If half the tables in the place have customers with no food in front of them, you know that there is a problem with production. Either the servers or the kitchen cannot keep up. You're in for a long wait.
"That's true," nodded Ben.
However, we could be much more organized than that.
"What's this 'we' business," asked Erica.
It's a matter of teamwork. Working together for the common good. If you see a guy walking in a restaurant and you are just pissed off at the place for some reason there should be a way to warn him while he's still at the door.
"Like what?"
Hand signals. You should be able to go to the door and if none of the guys seated in the restaurant turns to you and signals, then it is ok to go in. But if half the guys in the place turn to you and give some sort of signal, then you can make your own choice based on the information you receive.
Ben stared at me, "What are you talking about? Are you insane?"
For instance, if the food is really bad, you could put your open hand up to your throat and gag with your tongue out. If the place is too expensive then you pat your wallet in your back pocket.
Ben said, "So if you look around and three guys turn to you and make like they are gagging, you right away know the food is bad. Right?"
That's right. The group makes its own mini survey. Quick and simple.
"What other signals have you got?"
I don't know. I haven't thought it out that much.
Ben started thinking. "Let's see, choking means the food is bad, the wallet pat means expensive. How about if the service is slow you hold up your wrist and point to your watch with your other hand?"
That's it. And if the place is filthy, you hold your nose.
"And if it's noisy, you put your hands over your ears."
And if there is one screaming kid, you point to him with your hand like shooting a pistol. Imagine walking in and seeing four guys shooting at the same three-year-old in a high chair.
"If there are bugs, you swat flies."
And if the drinks are weak you make like your drinking from a glass and turn it into a "thumbs down" signal.
"And heaven help you if you see some guy shooting himself in the head and plopping in the mashed potatoes."
Right! Then you scoot on out of there.
"I think you've got something."
Erica finally interrupted us. "But you know," she said, "it's pretty anachronistic and chauvinistic to think that only guys can do this. This works for guys and girls, both, you know. We can all work together on this."
I gave her my generational sigh. Good point, Erica.
She got up. "I'm going inside to thank Alicia for another delicious smoothie."
"No need to signal," Ben whispered.

Filmonomics Open For Applications
Birds Eye View's highly acclaimed flagship film-business training programme Filmonomics will return in January 2016, with continued focuses on developing confidence, facing failure and rejection and trend-forecasting for storytelling and future audiences. Supported by Creative Skillset, Filmonomics was created in association with former Screen International editor-in-chief Colin Brown, author of the Filmonomics blog for Slated.com.
The bespoke programme is targeted at established women and BAME film practitioners, and is designed to bridge the gap between development and distribution, mixing industry knowledge with behind the scenes networking and discussions on vital topics such as finance, teams, marketing, exhibition and audience development. One of the key aspects of the programme is the focus on the individual with sessions focusing on increasing confidence.
Filmonomics is aimed at established creative talent. Individuals should have a feature film (fiction or doc) or TV credit or substantial body of shorter form work. At least one participant in a team proposal must have a feature film or TV credit.
The programme fee is £300 and will give you access to 12 curated sessions over 7 months on mainly evenings and weekends, to fit around the standard working schedule. All sessions will be based in London. The sessions will cover a full range of subjects and speakers across the value chain that are as much career focused as project based.
There are 3 full bursaries available from Birds Eye View. If you would like to apply for a bursary, there is allocated space on the application form to outline your case for extra financial support.
Deadline for applications: Friday 06 November
For more information about the programme please see the Bird's Eye View website.

How about in-game mini games being released as PS Minis? FF8 was mentioned in a recent thread. It had a fun card game. $1 licensed Mini?
Ghostbusters port (not the slime one, but the full one. Touch would be fun)
Be Well,

You see where I'm going with this. There are just to many games out there that would be awesome on the Vita. Pretty much any game that is good and takes advantage of the "Dual Analog Stick Feature". So TPS, FPS, Adventure games that are 3D.

text: I have been having problems with MS Security Essentials Anti-Virus. When the computer starts up i notice it to be very slow, i cannot access network links and i notice that the network icon does not load until i end "MsMpEng.exe" which i know is related to MSE. I have seen this on numerous client computers running XP & Win7 at different locations. I have down malware scan and spyware scans and all is clean. I have taken off this AV in the meantime until it gets fixed (re-installing MSE does not help). I just want to know if anyone have come across this before and is there a fix/workaround? I am guessing windows has done some updates or MSE Has done a faulty update to cause this.

16:59 19th February 2011
Report: Royals held by Hornets
Reading 1 (Hunt 49)
Watford 1 (Weimann 27)
Reading came from behind to earn a point at home to Watford this afternoon, thanks to Noel Hunt's 49th minute header.
Brian McDermott's side fell behind when Andreas Weimann latched onto Danny Graham's floated cross to slam the Hornets into the lead from eight yards out.
But Scott Loach couldn't deal with Brian Howard's corner early in the second period and Noel Hunt was there to head the dropping ball over the goalline from close range. The Irishman signed a new contract earlier in the week, and it was fitting he would celebrate his new deal with a goal.
And Reading pressed for a winner; McAnuff, Howard and Long all testing Loach in the Hornets goal, while debutant Alex McCarthy - who replaced
Adam Federici
for the final six minutes - had only a solitary strike to stop at the other end, doing so comfortably.
But, despite a good second half showing, the Royals were forced to settle for a point.
Reading (4-4-2): Federici (McCarthy 84), Griffin, Harte, Ingimarsson, Mills (c), Leigertwood, Howard (Robson-Kanu 82), McAnuff, Kebe, Hunt (Church 67), Long
Subs: Khizanishvili, Gunnarsson, Tabb, Antonio.
Watford (4-5-1): Loach, Hodson, Thompson, Taylor, Mariappa, Cowie, Eustace (c), McGinn (Drinkwater 55), Weimann (Sordell 53), Whichelow (Jenkins 67), Graham
Subs: Gilmartin, Bennett, Mingoia, Deeney.
Ref: P Walton
Attendance: 16,934 (1,579 away)
Starting XI team news
The Royals made two changes, bringing Noel Hunt and Mikele Leigertwood back into the side and reverting to a 4-4-2 formation - Brynjar Gunnarsson and Jay Tabb dropping to the bench. Mathieu Manset missed out with a calf injury, so Simon Church provided attacking back-up on the bench.
First half
The game began at a lively pace and both teams clearly desperate for the win. Reading came close with a corner that almost found Leigertwood at the far post, and then Long stooped to try to glance a header in at the near post following a good cross from Noel Hunt on the left.
Jobi McAnuff was a menace against his former side, cutting on from the left on a couple of early occasions - but Scott Loach wasn't called into action on either occasion; Shane Long dispossessed first and then McAnuff whipping a lovely half-volleyed effort inches wide of the bottom right corner.
But midway through the first half, Watford took the lead. A floated ball back into the box from Graham had Reading defenders scrambling to clear it. Leigertwood couldn't, Ingimarsson blocked the first shot with a brave dive, but the ball fell back to Andreas
's feet and he ruthlessly hammered it home from six yards out.
Moments later it could have been 2-0. In a slick break away, Whichelow chipped a beautiful ball into the middle for Graham who powered a downward header at goal. But Federici made a wonderful save, diving low to his left to scoop it away.
And then Weimann could have doubled the Hornets' lead, cutting inside his man and scuffing a low drive straight at Federici who gathered at the second attempt. Malky Mackay's men were in the ascendency.
Mikele Leigertwood tried to wrestle back the balance of play and he almost did in stupendous style. He turned cleverly out of a tight situation and drove low at goal from 25 yards - Loach wa at full stretch to fingertip it around his left post though.
And that chance reignited Reading. Noel Hunt had a low shot charged down and Loach had to save smartly from Howard's arced effort from the edge of the area. Jobi McAnuff had the last effort on target which was also charged down. But the visitors took a goal's lead into the break.
Second half
The first chance of the second half fell Reading's way and to that man McAnuff. Long did brilliantly to win the ball on the byline and scurry into the box, before floating a ball into the middle. McAnuff stretched to get his head to it and placed a downward header on target, only for Loach to save well low to his left.
But the Royals were level soon after. Brian Howard's corner kick wasn't dealt with by Loach at his near post and the ball dropped for
Noel Hunt
to head home from inches out. The striker signed a new contract earlier in the week and had a goal to celebrate with.
The Royals had a narrow escape minutes after the restart, Ian Harte nodding a looping header that was sailing inside the right post off his goal line. But at the other end, the Irishman almost scored, getting no touch to McAnuff's low cross despite sticking a left leg at a tempting delivery.
The hosts pressed hard for a winner. Simon Church replaced Hunt up front and read a delightful Kebe run and cut back to perfection - only to see his first time right-footed effort take a deflection and sail just over the crossbar.
Debutant Alex McCarthy was handed the job of protecting the Royals goal for the final six minutes of the match - the young goalkeeper forced into action after Federici took a knock after Leigertwood caught him in making a crucial clearance.
Griffin bombed forward in the dying stages and chipped a lovely cross over Loach and towards the far post. But Hal Robson-Kanu couldn't make anything of it and, after four minutes of injury time had played out, Reading were forced to settle for a point.

Gurgaon, July 5: A 19-year-old youth studying in Canada committed suicide on Friday by leaping from the 16th floor of a high-rise building here, police said.
Dhruv, son of businessman Uday Singh, jumped from Trinity Towers at DLF Phase 5, police officer Mahinder Singh said. "He died on the spot."
Dhruv was studying in Canada and returned home in April. He was living in Gurgaon with his mother, who was separated from her husband.
No suicide note was found. The elder brother of the deceased is studying medicine in Singapore. "We are probing the matter and would soon find concrete evidence as to why he committed suicide. It could be a case of depression too," said the police.

The big thaw
For over a decade, attempts to find conciliation on the Korean Peninsula have been bedevilled by one obstacle after another. Then suddenly, this month, we saw breakthroughs. First, North Korea committed itself to disabling its nuclear facilities by the end of the year, and giving a full account of its nuclear programmes. The next day, Pyongyang and Seoul jointly declared that they were determined to forge a reconciliation.
Serious problems remain to be worked out. North Korea is demanding two light-water reactors promised by the Clinton administration. Then Pyongyang's small arsenal of nuclear weapons must be dealt with. Even so, it's encouraging that the North is willing to disable its Yongbyon nuclear facilities and make a 'complete and correct declaration of all its nuclear programmes' by the end of the year.
Especially significant is the provision, made apparently at Pyongyang's suggestion, that the United States should lead the disablement work at Yongbyon. That should go far to convince the US Congress that the nuclear programme has, indeed, been disabled rather than merely suspended.
The recent resignation of Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe and his replacement by Yasuo Fukuda also bodes well for the six-party talks. Unlike his predecessor, Mr Fukuda is unlikely to hold the talks hostage to progress on the issue of Japanese abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s - although Tokyo extended its abduction-related sanctions against Pyongyang this week.
The progress made at last week's North-South summit should be seen as supplementing the six-party breakthrough rather than attempting to pre-empt it. The declaration issued by the two leaders - North Korea's Kim Jong-il and the South's President Roh Moo-hyun - said as much: both Koreas would work together to implement the agreements reached at the six-party talks.
Mr Roh's participation in the summit talks may have been prompted by domestic political factors: namely, helping his party's candidate in the December presidential election. Even so, the agreements reached, if implemented, will build confidence.
They are likely to reduce tensions between the North and South, helping pave the way to the resolution of the issues still facing the six-party talks in Beijing.
The latest six-party agreement stems from a breakthrough achieved in 2005, when the six parties - North and South Korea, the United States, China, Japan and Russia - issued a joint statement on the resolution of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula. That statement also called for a permanent 'peace regime' to replace the 1953 armistice.
Washington takes the view that a permanent peace deal must await the complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula. But, in their joint declaration, Seoul and Pyongyang said they would push ahead with convening a meeting of 'the three or four parties directly concerned ... to declare an end to the war'.
The words 'three or four parties directly concerned' are intriguing, suggesting Beijing may not be included in such a peace conference. North and South Korea appear to be thinking that they and Washington might be the only participants. South Korean officials have said that Seoul and Pyongyang would decide whether Beijing would be involved, and that disarmament measures need only be decided by the two Koreas and the US.
Any attempt to exclude Beijing, however, will fail. China was a signatory to the armistice, along with North Korea and the United Nations Command, represented by the United States.
South Korea was not a signatory, which is why the North has argued in the past that Seoul was not entitled to participate in a peace conference.
But now that so much water has flowed under the bridge, it would be unrealistic for any party to seek to exclude any other. North and South Korea, the US and China should all be represented.

I want a gumstix but instead of PXA I want an SPARCv8 system-on-chip. Using that GPL'd LEON-2 SPARCv8 core ( http://www.gaisler.com/leonmain.html ). Then we wouldn't have to indirectly pay the licensing fees to ARM, Inc. The point being. We can all wish for things, but I'm not convinced it's that constructive to go.

I suppose you could classify them into groups like Robotics, Networking, PDA/Wearable, etc. Of coruse we could just have something modular or expandable. A mainboard and then modules to turn it into one or more of the classifications/families i mentioned above. I'm sure someone could find some itty bitty connectors and you could stack gumstix-shaped moduiles pretty close together if you used a thin heatsink between them rather than leaving a gap for airflow. Of course then this would just be a smaller version of PC/104. That might be a good or bad thing depending on your point of view. > Cheers, > > Zach -- Jon

Anderson Silva released a biography last week and makes at least one startling revelation. Silva says he planned to kill his trainer several years ago, but was talked out of it by friends.
According to Fighters Only, Silva says he was going through a difficult time in his life financially. He was teaching jiu-jitsu classes, and the Chute Boxe coach Rafael Cordeiro did not want him to continue the classes. They had an argument in which Silva was slapped in the face.
Silva, upset, took a shotgun to where Cordeiro was and waited for the coach to return with the intent of shooting him. Luckily he had two friends with him who talked him out of the murder plan and nothing ended up happening.
Fighters Only says both Cordeiro and Silva's son learned about the story for the first time last week. That had to be a pretty awkward moment for Cordeiro, I imagine. Can you envision being friends with a guy for years only to find out much later that he showed up ready to shoot you?
Good thing Silva was talked out of the incident otherwise the world may never have gotten to see his talents.

DP1M versus SD1M with 20mm f1.8
rick decker wrote:
Sharpness was -1.5 with both. I did several tests and then went back a day later and did the final. 20mm has slightly better edges at f11 but f8 is very close. It is not as consistent with AF as the DP1M. It is still a much better choice than the 10-20, 18-50, 17-50 zooms and if you (I) hadn't been spoiled by the DP1M, well, ignorance is bliss. This image was not a good one for upper or lower. And one was f5.6 and one f11 although the corners of the DP1M don't vary that much but I am not sure about DOF issues. Here are lower left (LL) and lower right (LR) crops. It is hard to draw any conclusions with this set.
Thanks for posting the lower corners Rick…
I agree there's not a lot to chose between this second set—certainly the clear superiority of the DP2M lens your initial post demonstrates is not apparent here.
Both sets of lower corners seem somewhat out of focus and it may well be that depth of field is the main issue (with neither the slightly shorter focal length of one lens nor the much smaller f stop of the other being sufficient to overcome it). And it may be that both lenses have a little softness at the corners. As you say, it will take different images to verify just how well the two lenses (with the DP1M's currently of most interest) perform at the corners and also whether curvature of field might be an issue in some circumstances.
