Baklava With Honey Syrup
READY IN: 50mins
Recipe by bluemoon downunder
One of several recipes featured as a dish to be served for a Greek-style meal, in the November issue of the Australian magazine 'Super Food Ideas', and posted for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. The preparation and cooking times do not include the 30 minutes standing time, to allow the syrup to be fully absorbed by the baklava.

Ingredients Nutrition
- 3⁄4 cup sesame seeds
- 4 cups walnuts, finely chopped
- 1⁄4 cup ground cinnamon
- 8 sheets phyllo pastry
- 100 g unsalted butter, melted
Honey Syrup
- 1 small lemon
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1⁄2 cup honey
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 6 whole cloves
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F, and lightly grease a shallow baking tray.
- Place the sesame seeds in a small, non-stick pan over a medium heat, and cook, while shaking the pan gently, for 3-5 minutes or until golden and toasted.
- Transfer to a bowl, add the walnuts and cinnamon and mix well.
- Brush 1 pastry sheet with the melted butter and fold in half crossways to form a rectangle.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the walnut mixture evenly over the pastry; and starting from one of the long ends, roll it up into a log. Brush with butter. Place on a baking tray; and repeat with the remaining pastry, butter and walnut mixture.
- Bake the baklava for 10-12 minutes or until golden; and then allow them to cool on the baking tray.
- The Honey Syrup: Peel 1 large strip of rind from the lemon, remove the pith, juice half the lemon; then place the lemon rind, lemon juice, sugar, honey, cinnamon stick, cloves and 2 cups of water in a saucepan over a medium heat.
- Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved; increase the heat to high and bring to the boil; reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 10 minutes or until the honey syrup thickens slightly.
- Pour the hot honey syrup over the cold baklava, and stand for 30 minutes or until the baklava has absorbed the syrup. Cut each baklava diagonally into 3 pieces and serve.
- Tip: Purchase phyllo pastry from the fridge not the freezer, as the layers will separate much more easily.

MELBOURNE — The sturdy Saturday afternoon winds that preceded the evening frigidness on the East Coast blew horizontally across Tom McIntyre Stadium, often transforming crisp shots into curves.
Gulf Coast's strategy: Minimizing the number of breaking balls Steinbrenner could deliver. The Warriors sent a precious few near the net Saturday, but the Sharks defenders weren't fooled by the movement. Not one sweep and a miss.
As a result, their chilly, chapped hands were hoisting the Class 4A state title trophy by day's end.
A Steinbrenner attack averaging 5.1 goals over its previous nine matches managed only six shots Saturday in a 2-0 loss to the Sharks. The Naples-based school (19-3-3) scored both goals in the first half, then essentially played 11 men behind the ball in the second.
"That's what they did, and to their credit they played it well," said Warriors coach Chad Ebright, whose side (19-3-3) was trying to become the first boys team state champion in the school's four-year history.
"Normally teams can't do that to us. (Ocala) Forest tried it (in the state semifinals) and we put three goals on them in three minutes. This team did it and they were successful."
They also were extremely efficient with their handful of scoring chances.
The Sharks' first goal occurred eight minutes into the contest, when leading scorer Clayton Curvin took an entry pass on a quick restart near the top of the 18-yard box, barely remained onsides and lofted the ball over drawn-out keeper Christian Knight.
Their second goal arrived 18 minutes later, when Vietnam native Rin Van's 30-yard shot seemed to get carried by the wind to the far post. It was one of only four Gulf Coast shots.
"The wind definitely played a knuckle part into it," Sharks coach Alan Scott said.
That goal allowed Gulf Coast, winner of Collier County's first state soccer title, to sacrifice an attack for a congested backfield in the second half.
Steinbrenner's best chance in the last 40 minutes occurred after the midpoint water break, when senior Derek Gebhard's long ball appeared to catch a gust and nearly bounced over keeper Eric Scott's head.
"I could've seen it coming; they were gonna bunker," said Warriors midfielder Enrique Barboto, one of five Steinbrenner seniors who have been with the program since its first practice.
"It's a state championship game, it's what you have to do, and they got the upper hand today."

The Abominable...
Production Status: Ready for Delivery
Directed By: Patrick Donahue
Starring: Heather DeVan, Nick Orefice, Jason DeVan & Hal Alpert
Running Time: 90 minutes
It started as a legend whispered in seaside taverns along the northern coast, the legend of a gigantic creature that walks the tundra like a man. It has many names: Yeti, Big Foot, and the Abominable Snowman. Jimmy Shea, noted wildlife photographer, believes these stories and has made it his life's work to take a photograph of this legend. But Jimmy Shea is killed mysteriously so it is his beautiful daughter, Ally, an animal rights activist, who agrees to take on her father's legacy. Even so, she is repulsed by her father's partner, Jacko, who is a ruthless hunter providing animals for illegal experiments. But she will work with her avowed enemy to uncover this great discovery for one man's quest for glory, her late father's quest for glory.
They capture the creature bringing him back to San Francisco. On board, Jacko and his men badger and beat it. Ally cannot tolerate their cruelty and so, Jacko's hunt for glory becomes one woman's fight for freedom for both her and the creature. And when Jacko and his men make a move to harm Ally this most endangered species becomes the most dangerous of all.
The creature and Ally escape making a desperate stand on the Golden Gate Bridge. Combat helicopters zoom down firing but they discover the creature is not only incredible but also indestructible. And now they've made him…mad!
He is the Abominable…

There is an analytical way to compute the roots of a
polynomial of 4th degree, found by some guy called Ferrari.
Here are two descriptions:

I wonder why I can't find an implementation in Matlab (or C)
of this algorithm on Matlab central. Does anyone know where
to find one?

There is a "simpler" (?) solution then the ones described above (the
final results are obviously the same), and it doesn't
require one to "eliminate" the x^3 term.
Just rewrite as follows:
x^4 + a1*x^3 + a2*x^2 + a3*x + a4 => (x^2 + b1*x + b3)*(x^2 + b2*x +
b1,2,3,4 are simple linear and intuitive expressions in a1,2,3,4 with
an additional unknown parameter r, e.g.,
b1 = a1/2 + r
b2 = a1/2 - r
b3/2 = a2 - 1/4*a1^2 + r^2 - (...)/r
b4/2 = a2 - 1/4*a1^2 + r^2 + (...)/r
where r is a non-zero root of the cubic equation
r^3 + k*r^2 + l*r^2 + m = 0
and where k,l,m are again simple expressions of the a1,2,3,4

ALLEN PARK, Mich. – There is now one day left.
The Detroit Lions finished up the second day of their mandatory minicamp Wednesday and it was probably the most balanced day the team has had during their sessions. After the first two weeks of open practices where the defense was dominant and the last couple of practices where the offense has been better, neither group seemed to take over the practice.
That might be a good sign for the Lions that the offense is catching up to the defense even if both sides of the ball were without key contributors. Here are some thoughts, notes and observations from the day.
A decent amount of players missed practice Wednesday. Wide receiver TJ Jones, cornerback Chris Houston and linebacker Stephen Tulloch were not spotted at practice. Defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder), guard Rob Sims, wide receiver Golden Tate (shoulder), wide receiver Kevin Ogletree, running back Mikel Leshoure and running back Joique Bell (knee) all sat out practice. Ansah, Tate and Bell were expected. Sims has missed team drills all offseason, as had Glover Quin, who only worked in individual drills Wednesday.
Jason Jones appears to be slowly moving back to health. He seemed more active Wednesday than he has during past open practices, including working some with the first unit. He is still coming back from a ruptured patella tendon suffered last season, but he will be a contender for the closed defensive end spot in the fall opposite Ansah on the defensive line.
Player of the practice: For the second straight day, it is Calvin Johnson. Any question about Johnson's health are now gone. He was once again the best player on the field and caught everything around him. He appears to be completely over his injuries and has his timing with Matthew Stafford down once again. He beat any cornerback the Lions lined up against him during 1-on-1 periods and on one play leapt over DeAndre Levy to catch a pass that he ended up running in for a touchdown.
During those 1-on-1 drills between defensive backs and receivers, the receivers clearly won the day. They had at least six completions to start the drill, including Kris Durham reaching out to make a difficult catch in front of Darius Slay. Corey Fuller also beat Aaron Hester on a post route that was pretty impressive.
Sequence of the day: Two impressive plays in a row. First, safety James Ihedigbo jumped a route from Stafford to Brandon Pettigrew to break up the pass. It was a great break on the ball by Ihedigbo. Stafford followed it up, though, with a perfectly threaded ball to Patrick Edwards into a small window over safety Don Carey. It was the best throw Stafford made on the day.
Carey is starting to really emerge as the probable third safety, although this is not unexpected. He once again filled in for Quin during team drills and has been a decent presence back there. In the secondary, Jonte Green is the one player who doesn't seem to be getting as many reps as one might think.
As they did Tuesday, Rodney Austin and rookie Travis Swanson both took first-team reps at guard and center. While Austin worked some at center Tuesday, Swanson was there Wednesday. In some ways, this is a test from Jim Caldwell to see if both of them can play both guard and center, something imperative for a reserve interior lineman. With Sims out, Austin has spent the majority of spring working with the first team at left guard.
This is getting repetitive, but Theo Riddick continues to be impressive. He seems a little faster than last season and might have improved more than anyone else on the roster from last season. He is putting himself in position to have a real role in this offense this season after being primarily a backup in 2013.
Written about Eric Ebron's drops here a bit, so worth noting when he makes the type of catch the Lions drafted him for. He extended on what looked like a poorly thrown ball to stretch in front of safety Isa Abdul-Quddus to make the grab before hitting the ground. It is one of the best catches he has made in the open practice setting this spring.
With Tulloch not in attendance, Tahir Whitehead took a lot of the first-team snaps at linebacker next to Levy. He was pretty active there. While he is primarily a special-teams standout – he'll end up having a roster spot because of his special-teams play – that the Lions staff inserted him there behind Tulloch would appear to indicate he is having a pretty good spring. After practice, Caldwell cited how Whitehead controls the movement of other players in that space as one of the reasons they like him behind Tulloch.
Really good day for Sam Martin. The second-year punter had some help with the wind, but he crushed almost all of his punts. It is tough to see yard lines because of how the Lions' outdoor practice fields are set up, but he said after practice one of his punts went over 80 yards and had a few go at least 70 yards. He said his shortest on the day was 63 yards. Strong day for him.

CHICAGO (AP) — Just because a battle happened in 1812 doesn't mean there isn't anything left to fight about.
Chicago Alderman Edward Burke is learning that as he pushes for a day of remembrance on Aug. 15 to mark the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Fort Dearborn.
The clash between U.S. soldiers and Native Americans allied with the British during the War of 1812 left 60 Americans and 15 Native Americans dead.
Burke has offended a local Native American leader, Joseph Podlasek, who says the alderman's comments, including a call to "smoke a peace pipe," trivialize Native American traditions.
Burke has apologized and rewritten a city resolution about the battle to address some concerns. But Podlasek says Burke unfairly portrayed Native Americans as brutal savages again in a speech Monday.

Looked at your patch and then at our xfs code in the tree and the existing code is different than what yours is based on. I then noticed in the logs Nathan has actually made changes for this: ---------------------------- revision 1.254 date: 2006/07/17 10:46:05; author: nathans; state: Exp; lines: +20 -5 modid: xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:26565a Update XFS for i_blksize removal from generic inode structure ---------------------------- I even reviewed the change (and I don't remember it - getting old). I looked at the mods scheduled for 2.6.19 and this is one of them. So the fix for this is coming soon (and the fix is different from the one above).eh? Eric's patch is based on -mm, which includes the XFS git tree. If I go and merge the inode-diet patches from -mm, XFS gets broken until you guys merge the above mystery patch. (I prefer to merge the -mm patches after all the git trees have gone, but sometimes maintainers dawdle and I get bored of waiting). Is git://oss.sgi.com:8090/nathans/xfs-2.6 obsolete, or are you hiding stuff from me? ;)
:) We're still getting our act together since Nathan is no longer here. Going forward the new git tree is at: git://oss.sgi.com:8090/xfs/xfs-2.6 This has some more recent changes than the "nathans" one but is far from up to date with the internal sgi tree and the external cvs tree (as you noticed with the nathans one:). I will get the "xfs" one updated in the next day or so. (Aside: for some strange reason, the "nathans" one has 3 extra mods (commits) and as expected (to me:) the "xfs" one has 10 extra mods (commits) and there is about 46 mods (including missing 3) pending for the "xfs" tree. If we end up moving from our internal SCM to git at some point, this could make the updates less of a hassle:). --Tim

Skulk into a lonely booth in Park City's No Name Saloon during the tourist off-season and, after a couple of beers, it might dawn on you.
Where the heck are the women?
"I get asked two or three times a night where the girls are," No Name bartender and manager Jason Miller said Wednesday. When the hordes of skiers leave town, he estimated, the ratio of customers is 8-to-1 in favor of the boys.
OK, so maybe the ski-town bar scene isn't the best gauge of wider demographics. But if ever you thought Utah was a male-dominated society, the U.S. Census Bureau says you've got a case, and Park City is Exhibit A.
The agency today released 2008 state and population estimates showing Utah as the fourth-manliest state -- and Summit County is about as manly as it gets.
Utah is 50.5 percent male and one of only 11 states with more men than women. Leading the U.S. pack, as usual, is the fabled frontiersman's hide-out, Alaska, at 52.1 percent. Nevada and Wyoming also have a higher proportion of men, and Utah is fourth.
Miller attributed Summit County's 52.3 percent male ratio to the snowy slopes.
"More guys take ski trips," he said, "and want to move out here and be ski bums."
Statewide, though, the story is both more basic and more varied. It's basic -- and logical -- because Utah also is the nation's youngest state and boasts its highest birthrate. All those babies drive up the male figures because mothers naturally give birth to slightly more boys than girls, University of Utah demographer Pamela Perlich said. The ratio starts to even out at age 45 because men average earlier deaths, she said, but Utah's continuing youth wave blunts the effect.
But there also is an economic factor that varies the ratios county to county. Some counties simply have more male-dominated jobs -- construction and gas drilling, to name two -- that attract transient workers. Those jobs also tend to be more available in the West than elsewhere, which in turn fuels the work-force youthfulness.
"We have a permanent youth movement to our state," Perlich said, "because this is where the long-term growth prospects are for the nation."
That much is clear to Rob Adams. He is economic-development director for Beaver County -- another man-heavy outpost -- and said the evidence of construction jobs was all around him Wednesday afternoon. Reached on his cell phone while he shopped at a Beaver grocery, he described a bustling scene that would be the envy of most small-town chambers of commerce during this recession.
"It's absolutely hopping," he said. Stores are filled with guys building a copper mine, a wind farm and geothermal plants.
"We've got a lot of construction jobs," Adams said, "and most of those guys are men."
Still, he laughed when asked if he had ever noticed the apparent imbalance. Adams was skeptical of the Census Bureau's estimate that Beaver County is 52.3 percent male, same as Summit County. There are barely 6,000 people in the county, so statistics of all kinds are suspect.
Statewide figures likewise are a guess, Perlich said. Federal estimates each year feed off of the official 2000 census, and the male population temporarily shot up back then because of Interstate 15 construction and other pre-Olympics projects.
There surely are more men than women in Utah, she believes, but it's doubtful men's edge actually has grown from 50.1 percent then to 50.5 percent today.
One more caveat for women: Utah's most-male corner, 938-person Daggett County with 56 percent men, is pumped up by dozens of state jail inmates.
Tony Semerad contributed to this story.
Utah ranked second nationally, behind Alaska, for the smallest portion of its total population 65 years or older, at 9 percent. Alaska was 7 percent. Florida and West Virginia had the largest population shares of residents 65 or older, at 17 percent and 16 percent, respectively.
Utah led all states for the highest percentage of its total population under age 5, at 10 percent. And it had the lowest median age, at 28.7 years old. Maine had the highest median age, at 42 years, while Vermont and Maine had the smallest shares of residents under age 5, at 5 percent each.
Minorities now make up about 18.3 percent of Utah's total population and about 24 percent of Salt Lake County's populace.
The minority-population share is higher for younger age groups. They make up about 25 percent of all Utahns 9 and under and about 34 percent of residents 9 and under in Salt Lake County.
Latinos account for about 67 percent of the total minority population statewide, followed by Asians (10 percent of the state's minorities), other non-whites (8 percent), American Indians and Alaska Natives (6 percent), blacks and African-Americans (5 percent) and Pacific Islanders (4 percent).

London: Chelsea and Manchester City fought out a goalless draw in their English Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez was roundly booed by his own supporters who have not forgotten that he guided Liverpool to a bitterly-fought Champions League semi-final victory over the Blues in 2005.
Their anger might have been abated had Benitez been able to revive the fortunes of shot-shy striker Fermando Torres, who once again failed in impress in front of goal.
Manchester City remain the only unbeaten side in the Premier League but will leave west London aware they could have seized all three points with a little more composure and ambition.
Read on to find out how all the action unfolded at Stamford Bridge:
1825 GMT: Mancini quickly dismisses suggestions that his side have dropped two points, by saying that "Chelsea is a tough place to play." Hmmmm.
1819 GMT: Benitez tries his hardest to put a positive spin on a toothless display by his side: "It is positive to see the team working so hard as a team, but we must better attack better and be better in possession.
"The positive thing is that we improved in defence but our full-backs were high when we attacked. It is not easy, but I think maybe it was a seven," he adds.
Not sure how many Chelsea fans will agree with his assessment.
1759 GMT: Mancini will be happy that his side maintain their unbeaten record, but he might rue not chasing the match as the goalless draw leaves them rooted behind their bitter rivals Manchester United, who moved top of the league with a 3-1 win over Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
Chelsea remain fourth (and in reach of the top two) but Benitez might be questioning the wisdom of taking over at Stamford Bridge, after he was roundly booed by the home fans.
17 54 GMT:Not really sure how many positives Benitez can take from this match: the fans are still against him; Torres still looks short of confidence and form and Chelsea look very vulnerable whenever Luiz charges upfield and then loses possession..
FULL TIME: The ref blow his whistle to end a really disappointing contest.
90 + 2mins: YELLOW CARD. Balotelli screams for a free-kick after colliding with Luiz on the edge of the area, but instead the referee books him for diving.
90 mins: There will be two minutes of extra time.
88 mins:Chelsea have to careful they don't leave too many gaps at the back as Luiz charges forward looking for the winning goal.
86 mins: Jeers from the Chelsea fans as Mancini makes his final change as Balotelli comes on for Aguerro.
85 mins: Great chance for Chelsea as Cole lets fly from the edge of the area, but his fierce shot scrapes the top of the bar.
84 mins: Chelsea fans think they have won penalty as Torres crumbles under the weight of a meek challenge from Zabaleta, but the referee is having none of it and waves play on..
81 mins: Fantastic save by Cech as he dives low to his right to palm away a deflected shot by Milner
80 mins: Benitez tries to shake things up and sends on Romeu for the ineffective Mikel
77 mins: YELLOW CARD. Kolorov is booked after he upends Moses before he can launch a counter-attack..
76 mins: Whistles rein down from the stands as Luiz charges into the City half before walloping the ball straight to Hart. Poor play from the Brazilian..
74 mins: City turn the screw and win two quick corners, but the sloppy set-pieces fail to trouble Cech.
71 mins: Benitez makes his first change and brings on Moses for Hazard: replacing trickery with straight-line speed. Will it work?
69 mins: Mancini has clearly lost his patience with Dzeko, and hauls him off for Tevez.
66 mins: City break with numbers on the Chelsea goal, but Dzeko over-hits a cross and Cole calmly clears the danger.
64 mins: YELLOW CARD. Zabalate smashes into the side of Ivanovic as the defender bears down on goal.
61 mins: Lovely one-two between Hazard and Mata creates a yawning gap in the heart of the City defence…Torres drifts into the space but can only blast his shot over the bar.
Is Torres springing into life, or has Benitez taken the shackles off his side?
59 mins: Toure hits a blistering shot from the edge of the area but it is straight at Cech…the goalie coughs the ball up before snatching it at a second attempt.
58 mins: Mancini looks like he might make his first change as he asks Tevez to warm-up on the sideline.
56 mins: Barry heads a high ball into the path of the fast-galloping Toure who narrowly fails to find Aguero with a slide-rule pass. Great play by City.
54 mins: Chelsea have really burst into life in the last few minutes, and Ramirez hits a screamer from 30-yards that whistled over the crossbar. Hart was well beaten with that strike.
50 mins: Kompany to the rescue for City…Oscar baffles the City rearguard with a delicious cross to the fast-charging Cole on the edge of the area.
The England defender whacks a cross-shot into the six-yard box but Kompany sticks his leg out to direct the ball for a corner.
47 mins: The crowd has gone quiet as there are no early indications that the second half will be any improvement on the first, even the anti-Benitez rabble have gone silent…
1702 GMT: City get the second half under way
1658 GMT: Chelsea have tried to funnel all of their attacks through Torres but Kompany has been able to intercept most of the intended through balls.
The Belgium star seems too strong and quick for Torres, whose confidence has dipped after he failed to stamp his mark i the first few minutes of the match.
Should Benitez substitute Torres, and what weffect will that have on his already brittle confidence?
1650 GMT: Chelsea didn't show much of a creative spark in that first-half which will trouble Benitez. He might be thinking of making a quick substitution but who should he bring on?
Mancini (judging from his pre-match comments) will be happy to escape with a point, but a little more impetus and his side could claim all three.
It says a lot when the game's most note-worthy event was the home crowd booing their own manager…
45 + 1 mins: Referee blows his whistle and the players head back to the changing rooms.
Boos cascade from the stands, but no-one is sure if they are directed at Benitez or the team's dismal display…
45 mins: The fourth official signals there will a minute of added time….
43 mins: Torres finally gets a sniff of goal but gets all tangled up and mis-hits the ball with his shin…Poor play from Torres.
42 mins: Huge sighs of relief from the Chelsea fans as Aguerro finds himself with plenty of space in the Chelsea penalty area but loses all poise and can only push his tame header straight at Cech.
Either side of the goalie and it would have broken the deadlock, which is exactly what this game needs….
40 mins: Chelsea finally muster a shot on goal!
The Blues win a free-kick just inside the City half, and Luiz decides to take a shot from 40-yards.
It wasn't going to trouble Hart but at least it will pad out their shots-on-goal stats.
37 mins: Cech is forced to make the first save of the match as he has to go low to his right to stop a shot by Dzeko.
35 mins: Its cold and its wet, and both teams seem content to head into the dressing room as neither side is offering much of a threat.
29 mins: City look very solid as Milner and Barry are snuffing out most of the tame Chelsea attacks on goal.
Barry tries to launch a quick counter-attack but Luiz steps in front of Aguerro to end the threat.
27 mins: Nice interchange of passes between Oscar and Mata but the attack fizzles out with an mis-hit pass by the Spaniard.
That move will have pleased Benitez as Chelsea are finally starting to show some attacking intent to their play.
25 mins: City have enjoyed most of the possession and Benitez must be concerned that his expensively-assembled quartet of Torres, Mata, Oscar and Hazard (combined transfer fee: £130 million) have failed to force Hart into a save.
23 mins: Is Benitez getting anxious? He storms out of his dug-out and screams instructions for his players to get further forward, but another attack breaks down as Torres loses possession…
20 mins: City nearly take the lead as Silva (the smallest player on the pitch) meets a wicked cross from Zabaleta but cannot direct his header under the bar…Great play from City.
18 mins: Neither side has crafted any clear-cut chances, but Kompany is marshalling the City rearguard with aplomb and thumps the ball clear as Oscar threatens to shoot.
16 mins: You know the game has fizzed into life when the broadcaster keeps showing the Chelsea fans give an ovation to Di Matteo
14 mins: Toure is lucky to escape without a booking for hurling down Hazard.
The Belgium star had shaken clear of his marker and had his sights on goal before Toure's cynical intervention..
10 mins: Torres finally gets into the game, but not the way he would have wanted, as he gives away a afree-kick for a rash challenge on Zabaleta
7 mins: Benitez is now the ninth manager during Roman Abramovich's time at Stamford Bridge, but he might be the most unpopular hire after his constant spats with former Blues manager Jose Mourinho.
The Chelsea faithful keep up the pro-DiMatteo chants as both sides seem content to keep possession without offering much of an attacking threat.
Benitez might feel this is an away fixture the amount of vitriol heading his way from the home supporters.
4 mins: Cole has to be alert as Aguerro races onto a beautifully weighted pass from Silva and is shaping up to shoot before the left back charges across his penalty area to swipe the ball out of play.
2 mins: First break in play as Barry clatters into Ramirez, that looked painful…
1 min: Benitez sits comfortably in his seat as Chelsea fans unfurl a large banner reading 'There is only one Di Matteo'.
KICK-OFF: Chelsea wearing their traditional blue strip get the match started, and immediately play the ball back to Cech…a sign of things to come?
1553 GMT: A sign of nerves, from Mancini?
"Today is more difficult because, when a team changes their manager, the first game against them is always hard – but we want to do well," he says.
1550 GMT: Benitez defends his decision to recall Torres.
"I said before he was working very hard. I think he is ready to perform well," he says in the tunnel before the match.
1548 GMT: The Spanish striker scored 56 goals in 79 games under Benitez at Liverpool.
However, since joining Chelsea for £50 million in January 2011, he has only scored 18 times in 85 appearances.
1547 GMT: Torres returns to the Chelsea starting line-up after he was dropped for the 3-0 defeat to Juventus.
City meanwhile include Kompany after the Belgium defender passed a late fitness test. Mancini also drafts Barry and Milner into his side as he looks to dominate possession and blunt the trickery of Chelsea's midfield trio of Mata, Oscar and Hazard.
1546 GMT: Here are the teams: –
Chelsea: Cech, Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Luiz, Cole, Ramires, Mikel, Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Torres.
Manchester City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Kolarov, Yaya Toure, Barry, Silva, Milner, Dzeko, Aguero
WELCOME TO AFP'S LIVE REPORT on the English Premier League clash between title challengers Chelsea and Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.
The match is due to kick off in west London at 4pm local time (1600 GMT) so stay with us for all the action as it unfolds.
Chelsea's new interim manager Rafa Benitez is facing a baptism of fire against Roberto Mancini's high-flying side, who have yet to lose a league match this season.
The Blues will be looking to impress their new manager after slipping to disappointing losses to West Brom and Juventus.
Benitez's has three immediate tasks on his to-do list: to win over a sceptical fanbase; coax the best out of mis-firing striker Fernando Torres and tighten up a shaky rearguard that is missing talismanic captain John Terry.
Mancini will be trying to forget his side's Champions League exit and has praised City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak for his patience, in a week that saw Roberto Di Matteo fired six months after masterminding Chelsea's Champions League triumph.


text: I visited Kal today at his studio, and he gave me another set of OpenEEG boards that belong to Chris Veigl of SHIFZ. The boards are in an enclosure which is pretty punk rock but is at least grounded, and has a DB9 connector for the serial output and another one for the amplifier inputs. It only has one amplifer board so it has two differential channels. (Earlier Kal had mentioned that he might have an Emotiv headset that he used for an Exploratorium work but it turns out he didn't.) This is excellent because we have something to play with. I still expect this to be pretty noisy, but it's small enough anyone could take it home and work with it, and we could try hooking up some channels to the cap and see what (if anything) we get. It needs a 12V power supply but I could rig one up in about ten minutes. I'm thinking a nice addition to the final box would be terminals that we could measure the electrode resistance with. According to the cap instructions, this should be less than 3 kOhms for a good contact, so I bet an easy way to measure that would come in very handy. Kal is the person who first got me thinking about EEGs and he's been controlling his robots with biosignals for years now. He's kindly offered us a tour of his studio to see some of the machines he wants to drive with EEG signals. This is totally worth it -- let me know if you are interested. We can probably fit 5-10 people in some evening. Here's Kal's website with some of the machines he's done http://seemen.org/

At Ana Mandara, Diners Fork Out More / Vietnamese restaurant stylish but pricey
Published 4:00 am, Friday, August 25, 2000
When I reviewed Ana Mandara six months ago, part of the allure of the elegant Vietnamese restaurant in Ghirardelli Square was the price. Most main courses were less than $20, a great value considering the sexy, four-star interior.
Things have changed: Prices have risen dramatically. Diners now pay $4 to $5 more for main courses, about $2 more for appetizers and specialty drinks, and $1 more for most desserts. Even an order of jasmine rice has doubled to $2.
While it's not uncommon for restaurant prices to inch up after a good review, the increase is usually more subtle. Also, since restaurants change dishes regularly, it can be difficult to compare price variations. But Ana Mandara's menu hasn't changed much, so the question becomes more pointed: Is the food still worth three stars?
When The Chronicle assigns stars for food, we consider the value/price ratio; that's why a taqueria may win three stars and a white-tablecloth restaurant only two.

Latest food videos
On a recent visit, the food at Ana Mandara wasn't quite as good as we remembered, although frankly if the prices had been the same it still would have earned three stars. Given the price increase, we took away half a star for food.
Still, there's a lot to like. The Mekong basa ($21) is one of the best fish dishes around, served on a raft of pea shoots surrounded by a spicy lemon sauce.
For starters, I loved the mound of Dungeness crab ($10) baked to a crusty glaze in green bamboo. The consomme ($6), a delicate chicken broth with tiny packages of cabbage stuffed with a shrimp mixture, is soothing and satisfying.
Other dishes lacked the delicate balance we remembered. The "tangy sauce" with the marinated quail ($22) was too sweet and overshadowed the main ingredient. The only other substantial item on the plate was two pads of sticky rice. For relief from the sweetness, one needed to order a side dish such as grilled okra ($4) or pea shoots ($4), which were underseasoned.
Desserts were disappointing, too. The pistachio parfait ($7) is shaped like a flan with half moons of dried pineapple on top and tapioca and coconut sauce underneath. It's an interesting combination but not something I'd remember long. The bananas flambe ($7) conjures up visions of dancing flames and rich flavors. Those are dashed, however, when the cold plate arrives with barely warm bananas, dry chocolate mousse and phyllo dusted with powdered sugar. It was boring.
Even with the higher prices, the restaurant was packed (which made service a little disjointed). The interior alone is a major draw. Having just visited Vietnam, I'm even more impressed with the look and feel of Ana Mandara, which is filled with authentic art and furnishings. With palms throwing exotic patterns on the walls in the theatrical lighting, it's a magical experience.

Real-time image georeferencing is essential to the prompt generation of spatial information such as orthoimages from the image sequence acquired by an airborne multi-sensor system. It is mostly based on direct georeferencing using a GPS/INS system, but its accuracy is limited by the quality of the GPS/INS data. More accurate results can be acquired using traditional aerial triangulation (AT) combined with GPS/INS data, which can be performed only as a post-processing method due to intense computational requirements. In this study, we propose a sequential AT algorithm that can produce accurate results comparable to those from the simultaneous AT algorithm in real time. Whenever a new image is added, the proposed algorithm rapidly performs AT with minimal computation at the current stage using the computational results from the previous stage. The experimental results show that the georeferencing of an image sequence at any stage took less than 0.1 s and its accuracy was determined within ± 5 cm on the estimated ground points, which is comparable to the results of simultaneous AT. This algorithm may be used for applications requiring real-time image georeferencing such as disaster monitoring and image-based navigation.
Real-time acquisition of spatial data such as DSMs (digital surface models) or orthoimages is needed to provide appropriate and prompt countermeasures to situations such as natural disasters or accidents. For example, by monitoring the areas of forest fires and floods using the spatial data acquired by an airborne multi-sensor system, we can observe the situation, assess on-going damage, effectively decide how to evacuate people and restore damaged areas.
Disaster monitoring systems based on airborne real-time acquisition of spatial data mostly consist of an aerial segment for data acquisition of the target areas and a ground segment for data processing and delivery [
The orthorectification requires a DSM over the target areas and the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the camera. In a real-time situation, the DSM can be promptly generated from the laser scanner data. The intrinsic parameters can be determined during camera calibration on the ground before the flight and are assumed to be constant during the flight. Most problems occur when determining the extrinsic parameters in real time, which requires knowing the position and attitude of the camera at the time of exposure for each image. This process is referred to as image georeferencing in this paper, which attempts to establish the geometric relationship between an image or image sequences and the absolute ground coordinate system.
Image georeferencing in both photogrammetry and computer vision fields may be categorized into two groups,
An existing promising method to determine camera parameters is aerial triangulation (AT) based on the bundle block adjustment [
The three sequential estimation algorithms used to determine the camera parameters that are mostly used in photogrammetry or computer vision fields are: (1) the Kalman filter, which updates the inverse of the normal matrix [
Although the sequential algorithm based on Givens transformations is efficient for estimating the unknown camera parameters, it cannot provide the variance-covariance matrix of the estimates without reverse computation. This is because it changes the structure of the normal matrix by application of the Givens transformation. However, the variance-covariance matrix should be produced in real time so that we can compute the correlation of a new image with the previous images in the sequence. With any efficient sequential algorithm, the processing time at least gradually increases with the number of images. To limit the processing time to a certain threshold such as the image acquisition period, we should discard some images that are significantly less correlated with the new image. In this study, we thus attempt to develop a new sequential aerial triangulation algorithm that can estimate and update not only the camera parameters but also their variance-covariance matrix in real time whenever a new image is added to an image sequence. Using this algorithm, we can update the inverse of the normal matrix with minimal computation while maintaining the original structure of the normal matrix. In this paper, we introduce the new sequential aerial triangulation algorithm, summarize the experimental results, and present some conclusions and future research.
To establish real-time image georeferencing, all inputs such as controlled information and tie points between adjacent images must be determined in real time whenever an image is newly captured. The controlled information about ground truth is acquired by surveying ground control points or from the GPS/INS sensors. Acquisition of the ground control points requires labor-intensive operations that preclude real-time processing. Therefore, we assume that image georeferencing is performed without ground control features in which only the initial camera parameters are provided from the GPS/INS sensor. It is also assumed that a sufficient number of tie points among the successive images are collected from a robust real-time image matching algorithm [
Under these assumptions, we have to perform aerial triangulation in real time for real-time image georeferencing. Aerial triangulation is a sequential estimation problem where we have to update existing parameters whenever new observations and even new parameters are added. Therefore, we propose a sequential aerial triangulation approach in which we will not only estimate the camera parameters of the new images, but also update those of the existing images whenever a new image is added.
During real-time image acquisition, a new image is continuously being added into an image sequence. The addition of an image involves the addition of the following new parameters: six extrinsic parameters of the camera, also called the exterior orientation parameters (EOP), and 3
For the sequential AT approach, we classify the observations into three types,
In the initial stage, a small number of images are acquired, and the traditional simultaneous aerial triangulation algorithms based on bundle block adjustment is applied. Here, the EOP of the images and the coordinates of ground points (GP) corresponding to the tie points are the parameters to be estimated. The collinearity equations for all the tie points are used as the observation equations. The initial EOP provided from the GPS/INS system is used for stochastic constraints. The observation equations with the stochastic constraints can be expressed as
The observation equations can be rewritten as
By applying the least squares principle, we can derive the normal equations as follows:
With the sub-block representations of the normal matrix and the right side, the normal equation can be rewritten as
The inverse of the normal matrix is then represented as
For this computation, we need to calculate the inverses of the matrices,
With the results of the initial stage, we can progress toward the combined stage. At the combined stage, we have a set of new images and the newly identified ground points corresponding to the tie points either in new images only or in new and existing images together. The parameter vectors for the EOP of the new images and the newly identified ground point coordinates are denoted as
The new observation equations in
The normal equations resulting from the application of the least squares principle to the observation equations are expressed as
During an estimation process based on the least squares principle, the most time-consuming step is the computation of the inverse of the normal matrix. Since the size of the normal matrix is the sum of the number of existing and new parameters (
The inverse of the normal matrix can be written as
The main component in the inverse of the normal matrix is
Since we already computed
Such a situation can be relieved by using an efficient sequential update formula derived from
The number of parameters to be updated increases linearly whenever a new image is added into an image sequence, although we use the computation results from the previous stage to efficiently compute the inverse of the normal matrix at the current stage. If we have to acquire an image sequence for a long time, it would be impossible to perform AT in real time due to the extremely large size of the parameter vector. We thus need to maintain a constant parameter vector size for real-time processing. For this purpose, we may update the parameters associated with a certain number of recent images, for example, the latest 50 images. However, such a constant number is set by intuition; it does not originate from the underlying principle of the estimation process. In this study, the correlation between parameters is employed to reasonably limit the size of the parameter vector. It is obvious that some images in the beginning of the sequence must have almost no correlation with a new image if image acquisition continues for a long time. Therefore, we do not update the parameters associated with the images in the beginning of the sequence in such a case. To exclude parameters associated with the images in the beginning of the sequence, we determine the correlation coefficient between the parameters of the current stage and those of the previous stage. If the correlation coefficients between the previous parameters and current parameters are larger than a threshold, only the previous parameters should be updated.
The correlation coefficient is an efficient measure of the correlation between two variables. In general, the correlation coefficient between two variables can be computed using the covariance between the two variables and the standard deviation of each variable. A variance-covariance matrix, derived from an adjustment computation, consists of the variance of a parameter and the covariance between parameters. Our sequential AT process not only estimates the parameters, EOP and GP, but also offers a cofactor matrix (Q) including the variance of the estimated EOP/GP and the covariance between the estimated EOP/GP at every stage. In our proposed algorithm, as shown in
We have two classes of parameters,
To facilitate the efficient implementation of this algorithm, there is no further examination of the correlation coefficient between the EOPs of the next images and the EOPs of the last image after an image highly correlated with the last image is detected from the beginning of the sequence. For example, if the correlation coefficient between the EOPs of the third image and those of the last image is more than the threshold for the first time, all of the EOPs from the third image to the last image should be updated, even though the correlation coefficient of the EOPs for the fifth and the last image is less than the threshold (
After the images associated with the EOPs included in the adjustment are selected, GPs appearing only in the images associated with EOPs excluded from the adjustment also have to be eliminated in the adjustment computation. Some GPs may appear only once in the images associated with the EOPs included in the adjustment. They should also be deleted from the adjustment computation because they can no longer be considered to be derived from tie points. As shown in
|Calculate the correlation coefficient between EOPs of a previous image and the new image.
|Exclude the EOPs of a previous image from the parameter vector.
|Count the number of images that appear per previous GP
|Include the GP in the parameter vector
Experiments were conducted with simulated data sets to evaluate our proposed AT algorithm. We implemented three types of aerial triangulation processes, the sequential AT with highly correlated images (Seq-R), the sequential AT with full images (Seq-F), and the simultaneous AT (Sim) using Matlab (ver. R2008b), and tested them in the computing environment described in
Emergency monitoring will definitely benefit from real-time image georeferencing technologies. In an emergency situation, we need a feasible platform such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). One of the advantages of utilizing an UAV is that it can fly over dangerous regions without a human operator. In addition, it enables us to acquire sensory data with high spatial resolution since it can fly at relatively low altitude. Thus, we assumed a multi-sensor system based on a close-range UAV to simulate experimental data. We assumed that the system is equipped with a medium-format digital camera and a medium-grade GPS/INS. These sensors were carefully selected among the actual sensors available in current markets and their specifications were used for the simulation parameters. Under reasonable assumptions for flight and sensor parameters and a terrain model, we determined the attitude and position of the camera at the time of exposure of each image and the tie points in the adjacent images. The main simulation parameters are summarized in
The simulation procedure is shown in detail in
There were a total of 5,812 simulated images points and 304 ground points, and an average of 14.4 conjugate points between adjacent images. The overlap ratio between two subsequent images was almost 94%. One ground point appeared in 20 images on average except at the fringes of the project area. The results of the simulation are summarized in
By applying the simulated data to the three different AT processes, we can estimate the EOPs and GPs whenever a new image is acquired. Since the input data are a simulated set, we know the true values for all the unknowns and compute the RMSE by comparing them with the estimated ones.
The red, blue and pink lines represent the RMSE of the estimates from the sequential AT with only highly correlated images (Seq-R), the sequential AT with full images (Seq-F), and the simultaneous AT (Sim), respectively. The results from all types of AT are evidently better than the initial approximation the results from direct georeferencing. In addition, the results from each AT method are very similar. We see that the red, blue and pink lines almost coincide. The RMSEs of the estimated EOPs from each method are about 0.18 m and 0.05°. This is nearly a 50% improvement in accuracy compared with the results of direct georeferencing. Indirect georeferencing technologies based on aerial triangulation can compensate for position/attitude sensor performance such as in GPS/INS.
To compare the results from these methods, we compute the standard deviation of the differences between the ground point coordinates estimated using the three different methods, as shown in
The goal of sequential AT is to determine the EOP of all the images in almost real time whenever a new image is acquired. Therefore, it is necessary to prove that sequential AT is more efficient than simultaneous AT in terms of processing time.
The processing time of simultaneous AT increases proportionally to the square of the number of images as shown in
The processing time of sequential AT with full images also increases slightly with the number of images as shown in
Sequential AT with highly correlated images can be useful for real-time processing for a long image sequence. In such a sequence, it is obvious that some images in the beginning of the sequence must have almost no correlation with a new image. Hence, we choose not to update the parameters associated with the images in the beginning of the sequence. Here, the question is how many images in the beginning of the sequence can be safely excluded from the adjustment. Instead of setting a particular number of images to be excluded, we adaptively select the images that would have an almost negligible impact on the adjustment by determining their correlation with the new image. Such images with EOPs that have a low correlation coefficient with the EOPs of the new image can be reasonably excluded from the adjustment.
In the experiment, we exclude the images with correlation coefficients less than 0.1. With this threshold, the size of the parameter vector is maintained at about 400 (
We acquired the real data using an airborne multi-sensory system composed of an UAV and sensors such as a digital camera, a laser scanner, and GPS/INS. The main specifications of the sensors are summarized in
We obtained 113 images with a GSD (Ground Sampling Distance) of 3 cm and performed automatic image matching using a commercial digital photogrammetric workstation to generate conjugate points, the input data for AT. A total of 1,488 conjugate points corresponding to 304 ground points are produced with an average of 13 conjugate points between adjacent images. The coverage of the images and the distribution of the ground points are shown in
We applied our sequential AT algorithms to the real data and analyzed the results in terms of the accuracy and processing time. To verify the accuracy, we compared the estimates from our AT methods (Seq-R and Seq-F) with those from the conventional AT method (Sim). Since we do not know the true values for the unknowns in the experiments using real data, we used the Sim results as the reference data instead. The Sim results have been recognized as the most accurate, although Sim cannot be performed in real time.
The AT results are verified in terms of EOP positions, EOP attitudes, and GPs. The RMS values of the differences between three AT results are shown in
The processing times of each AT method according to the number of images being acquired are shown in
This research proposes a new sequential AT algorithm to perform real-time georeferencing of image sequences acquired by an airborne multi-sensor system. Although the traditional AT algorithm can produce very accurate results, it cannot be employed for real-time georeferencing due to its computation time, which dramatically increases with the number of images. The proposed sequential AT algorithm can produce accurate results comparable to those from the simultaneous AT with a computation time maintained within a constant time frame. This algorithm can be controlled such that it has a computation time shorter than the image acquisition time, which supports real-time georeferencing. Rapid computation is possible since only the minimum computation at the current stage is performed, using the computational results from the previous stage whenever a new image is added. Moreover, the exclusion of an image based on the correlation between the existing and new parameters in the algorithm can minimize the processing time.
The accuracy and processing speed were verified by applying this algorithm to a simulated data set. The experimental results show that the georeferencing of an image sequence is possible in less than 0.1 s whenever a new image is acquired every 0.5 s. The accuracy of the sequential AT results is comparable to that from the simultaneous AT results, where the differences between both results are very small, within ±3 cm in terms of the ground point coordinates. In addition, the proposed algorithm was applied to a real data set acquired by an airborne multi-sensory system and the results confirm that it works efficiently with the real data as well as the simulated data.
Consequently, it is expected that our sequential AT algorithm can be effectively employed for various applications requiring real-time image georeferencing such as disaster monitoring and image-based navigation. In the near future, this sequential AT algorithm will be integrated with a real-time image matching algorithm for real-time image georeferencing. Finally, this approach will be applied to a variety of real data sets and also verified with respect to accuracy and processing speed.

Please learn all you can about SD prevention and the maneuvers for resolving it as there are several. SD has been one of the most common causes of infant death during UCs in MDC's history from what I have seen.
As far as helpful herbs, Motherwort, Angelica, and Shepherd's Purse are helpful for relieving hemorrhage; Shepherd's Purse should be taken after the placenta is out. Rescue Remedy is rumored to be helpful for bleeding and shock. You may want to do more research to have other herbs on hand for other uses, but these are the most important. If you think you're bleeding too much, don't hesitate to take herbs, and call 911.
You will also need to learn how to handle things like the baby not breathing (take a neonatal resuscitation class; "regular CPR" does not work on a neonate) and cord prolapse (where the cord is coming out before the baby--put your legs above your head, bum in the air, and CALL 911! without hesitation)
There are many other emergency situations, and I would recommend you research and be prepared for them all. While unlikely our history has proven that they CAN happen--with disasterous results if we're unprepared. Also, my advice... if there's a life-threatening emergency such as these, call 911 as soon as you identify it, and do whatever you can to get through it until the EMTs arrive.
And the most important rule...follow your instincts--even if they are telling you to intervene.
Thank you, I'll look into all of that.
What you need here is something to get the time off her hands. Some kind of huge project where every time she asks about the doctor thing you can say "it's covered, thanks, now what do you think about Big Project?" Let's see.... any chance she's a gardener? Or has been alternating her complaints about you with complaints about some other issue?
The thing is, you'd think she'd be quite busy. She still has four kids at home, a full-time and a part-time job, and four pieces of property she's managing. She should be plenty busy.
I tried again to talk to my mom today.
Lately she's been making all these jokes about *her* delivering the baby. Things like "Well I'll come around and deliver him if I have to, but I don't want to!" or when she asked me what doctor I was going to, I said "Oh, well we've seen ..." and named that one doctor we saw one time, months ago, rather than explain that we were unhappy with him and couldn't find another, and when she asked where we'd have the baby, instead of answering, I said "Well, that practice delivers at [hour-away-hospital]." Meaning to tell me that I should go to [slightly-less-than-hour-away hospital, literally a few minutes difference] instead, she gave this long ramble about how we'd better stop by her house and pick her up, and while my husband drove to the hospital she could deliver the baby in the backseat. I said gee, if you were gonna deliver him anyway, what do we need to go to the hospital for? and she said "Yeah, we'll just have him at your house, you've got the pool" (meaning a swimming pool in the yard, not a birthing pool, and certainly not serious.
Anyway, all this made me think I'd too harshly judged her. Maybe she was capable of thinking open-mindedly about an unassisted birth. Certainly she was bringing it up often enough.
So I tried to talk to her today as we ran some errands together. In my mind, it was going to go something like this:
Me: I wanted to find a midwife so badly. Too bad the nearest legal one is 3 hours away.
Her: What do you mean, legal one?
Me: [brief explanation of NC's extreme antimidwife laws]
Her: Well....what's the difference, if the other ones are just as qualified?
Me: None, and I talked to several who work 'under the table' so to speak, but none were available and willing. There were either distance or scheduling problems for all of them.
Her: Oh. So you're going to the hospital then.
Me: Well, we actually gave some consideration to having the baby at home without a midwife.
Her: Well, that's what women used to do.....
How it actually went:
Me: I really wanted a homebirth with a midwife. It upsets me that I couldn't find one near enough.
Her: That ought to be illegal!
Me: Wait, what?
Her: Going to somebody's house and delivering a baby! That ought to be against the law!
Me: Wha-why?
Her: What if the cord is wrapped around the neck or something?
Me: Well a midwife is trained to-
Her: It ought to be illegal!
After that, everything I tried to say, she'd either interrupt, talk over me, or walk away. So much for bringing her around.
I'm sorry she is not being supportive, it sucks. At least you know where she stands though, and can do your best to avoid talking about it with her from now on. I know how it can be hard not to feel like you can talk honestly about something as important as your birth with your mom.

Ugh, that really sucks! My mother-in-law is very similar and we live on the same property as her. She gets very much into our lives, telling us we shouldn't have more children (I'm pregnant with #3 and she had 7). It's a lousy time to have clashes like this because you're trying to prepare for a relaxing birth and it sounds like nothing is going to please your mom. Do you think she might be jealous of the fact that you're having kids and she can't anymore and no longer has real control over any of her children? This might be her way of trying to feel like she still matters. Not that it helps you at all, but that may be where she's coming from.
It is probably very much an attempt to hold control- one of many. She still has four children at home, and works hard to keep any control she can over the other three.

Sync/TTL problems with Yungnuo YF-622N-TX and Nissin Di622 Mark II
I just bought the Yongnuo YN-622N-TX and an Youngnuo YN-622N-TX. My thought was to use these to make wireless TTL metering possible with my Nissin Di622 Mark II flash and my Nikon D3100.
Unfortunately things aren't behaving as planned. When firing my camera the flash fires before the shutter opens and in full power. And when the camera and flash occasionally syncs correctly, the image is blown out.
The strange thing is that when i change the YN-622N-TX from TTL metering to manual, everyting works perfectly, i can change the power output of the flash and every thing is en perfect sync.
Furthermore I am always (bpth in TTL and Manual) able to control the zoom range of the flash from the Yongnuo unit.
I have tried updating the firmware, i have tried resetting both units, i have also changed the batteries in all units and nothing has changed.
Thats it, I hope somebody can help me fixing this issue.

Oh Justin, you little scamp. I apologize in advance for what I'm about to say, seeing as I'm female and all and should just sit quietly in the corner until summoned. But the lyrics for your newest song, "All Bad" really are.
It's another, if it ain't one thing/ Instigators, like pouring fire on propane/ The wrong thing, they be worried about/ Ooh, you know females/ And how they like to run their mouths
Wanna be, wanna be, just like, talk like, you/ (like you) you (like you)/ Misery, misery, best company/ Don't let them change your mood/
[Chorus] They try to get at me (They try to get at me) Behind your back (your back, your back)/ Tryin' to tell me that I'm just like the others/ But I ain't all bad.
There is more over at Just Jared , but I think we get the gist. Them womenfolk need to shut their traps and if anyone is the right person to tell them, it's a 19-year-old boy who has trouble keeping his pants up as well as on.
There is speculation that this song is about Taylor Swift and how she turned Selena Gomez against Justin. Because, as we know, the only thing a women needs in order to make up her mind is another woman whispering a lie.
In other Justin news, the fresh flower known as Tatiana Neves aka the Brazilian bodybuilder who taped the boy wonder sleeping, had previously declined to tell whether she actually had relations with him . But now she's talking.
The Daily Mail reports that, "now in an interview with The Sun, she goes into detail about her alleged sexual relations with the singer, even praising his prowess between the sheets. She said: 'It was marvellous and unforgettable ... He has quite a fit body and looked great naked. Take it from me, he's well endowed and very good in bed'."
The hilarity continues with "Tati claims she left the next morning, only to get a phonecall from Justin asking her to come back. However, Tati - who is separated from her husband - claims she declined because she was 'too exhausted', praising Justin for his 'stamina' and 'energy'."

It's black and white for Mets manager Willie Randolph: Either you produce or you don't.
"If you produce, you play," was how Randolph announced the benching of second baseman Kaz Matsui and temporarily going with a platoon of Jose Valentin and Chris Woodward.
Randolph said it won't be a strict platoon, and would determine his starter based on match-ups and his gut feeling.
Matsui's average has dropped from .297 at the end of April to .213, in large part by a 4-for-39 slide that included flying out today for Orlando Hernandez in the sixth.
Bringing up Anderson Hernandez or Jeff Keppinger weren't discussed. Hernandez is a prospect needing at-bats and is a better fit for the minors, while Keppinger doesn't fit their profile of an athletic and fast infielder.
Around the Horn …
SS Jose Reyes' error today snapped a streak of 40 errorless games. … David Wright had reached base seven straight times against the Marlins before striking out to end the fourth inning. … Steve Trachsel, tomorrow's starter, said he could have gone today. He was given an extra day after suffering back stiffness following last Tuesday's start. … Pedro Martinez is complaining of a sore right hip, but remains in line to start Wednesday against Arizona. With an off day Thursday, don't be surprised if he is pushed back to Friday against San Francisco.
