gigahertz20 - Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - link"Apple hasn't crafted a pirate-friendly box with Apple TV, and until the Apple TV 3 gets jailbroken and XMBC port, it just isn't a fit for that crowd at all."
Well, there goes many of the potential buyers. I purchased a WDTV Live Streamer that has the new GUI a few months ago from Amazon for $100. So far it has played back everything except 1 movie, but then there was a firmware update a few weeks ago and now it plays that movie fine. I've been thinking about building a HTPC with XBMC, but the WDTV Live boxes are just so simple to use and play back everything fine, I'm like mehhh why take the time when what I have works fine. Reply
dave_the_nerd - Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - linkI always see comments like that. And yet I've never actually seen a jailbroken phone In The Wild™ used by anybody but me.
I predict apple will sell a lot of these to people who think jailbreaks involve helicopters or tunnels. Reply
Raider1284 - Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - linkThe apple TV 2, jailbroken, with xbmc installed, is incredibly good. Through XBMC and its addons, you can watch your own content, hulu, espn live feeds, pandora, amazon video, etc. All of these features, plus airplay, plus the tiny footprint and power usage of these things, makes the apple tv an awesome home theater addition.

mdmm - Friday, July 13, 2012 - linkI have WD TV Streaming media player gen-3 .Please let me know,how to install xbmc on my WD TV Live Streaming Gen 3 Model?? Reply
Araemo - Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - linkOddly, I had almost the opposite results with my WDTV Live - so much so that I returned it to amazon.
It would play most of my files, but on the majority of my h.264 content, it would lock up part way through the file (or after playing a couple of shorter files), requiring a hard reset or a 30 minute power off period to allow it to play ANYTHING else. After not getting any response from WD support 2 weeks after submitting a ticket, I returned it. I have my raspberry pi on order (Mostly because it actually supports 1080p, unlike the appletv2, and there is no way to say how soon the 3 will be jailbroken to run xbmc.)
That said, if the cooked fruit strains on any of my hd content, I'll probably get an appletv3 once it's jailbroken and running xbmc fine... either way, there will be a fruit of some variety sending content to my TV. Reply
Sivar - Saturday, March 24, 2012 - linkI wonder if you had a bad unit. h.264 is typically more strenuous to decode than other video codecs, so a bad memory module or other flaw may have been the cause.As a reader of Anandtech, it's safe to assume you knew to upgrade the firmware.
I encode my own video with settings not at all meant for low-powered devices to have an easy time with (--preset placebo --crf=22, though usually at level 4.1. Blu-ray players cannot play video with these settings). The WDTV that I bought for my parents has no problem with any of the content, regardless of encoder settings. When first purchased, it would occasionally but consistently show video glitches every 2 minutes or so, but after a firmware update it has worked perfectly. It also doesn't have to be jailbroken to play whatever is needed.
The lack of response from WD is not good, but just the same, if your new order doesn't work out I suggest you give WD one more try. Reply
name99 - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkOr you could, you know, buy an old mac mini second hand, outfit it with an EyeTV stick or two, and have a really kick-ass HTPC.
There's more than one choice for the TV set in the Apple universe. No-one's forcing you to buy an AppleTV if it's not right for you --- that would be as dumb as buying an iPod Touch then complaining that it sucks as a phone because all it offers is Skype and Vibr, not real phone functionality. Reply
psuedonymous - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkIf you can stand to wait for the RaspberryPi to ship in reasonable numbers (after the backlog has worked out), you can have an eminently hackable media streamer superior to the Apple TV. Level 4.1 rather than 4.0 (so you can play back Blu Ray unfettered), and still has Airplay (http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/564). Reply
ciparis - Friday, March 23, 2012 - linkThere goes a tiny (albeit vocal) minority, more like. It just isn't a relevant market segment. Reply
wb87 - Friday, March 30, 2012 - linkWhy do you need to pirate the Apple TV? It does a lot on its own, if you do a little research you will find out just how much you can do with it. I have my own video collection in iTunes and I can mirror my iPad to the screen. There are a lot things you can do with it. I've try a lot of different software programs but nothing is as stable as the Apple TV and iTunes. Reply
Teeeee - Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - linkYou didn't mention that when Mountain lion is used with AirPlay, that anything you could play on your Mac could be displayed via the apple tv, including previous downloaded shows and stuff in additional file formats or websites. Reply
Brian Klug - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkI've updated with a clearer mention. Admittedly I haven't gotten around to trying Mountain Lion out, however.
-Brian Reply
relentlessfocus - Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - linkI personally feel that Apple's strategy is to make the iPad and possibly the iPhone the real source for content with the AppleTV being only an iOS tv accessory. With 100 million iPads sometime in 2012 and a few hundred million iPhones its a nice accessory to have.
Hulu I believe is on the iPad in the US, certainly here in the UK its possible to mirror the BBC's iPlayer to the AppleTV even though there isn't an AppleTV iPlayer app (yet). Bloomberg TV Airplays nicely to the AppleTV and Sky and other channels here in the UK are on the iPad. Given the complexity of digital rights its far easier for Apple to let the copyright owners make their own apps for the iPad than it is to work out deals with Apple as middleman via iTunes. Reply
Fanfoot - Tuesday, March 27, 2012 - linkWell, sort of.
On iOS Apple has allowed app developers to block mirroring to the Apple TV. For example, HBO Go and Hulu both do NOT allow mirroring on the iPad. So for the moment, an Apple TV isn't as good a TV streamer device as some others if you judge it simply on its abilities to play back HBO Go or Hulu Plus or whatever.
With Mountain Lion Apple seems to be taking a different stance, simply encoding whatever is on the display and since most viewing is done inside a browser, it isn't clear how/if any site will be able to block mirroring from working. Right now the working assumption is that sites like the free Hulu WILL work on Mountain Lion. Which may help to push things forward and stop this sort of behavior on iOS devices going forward. Reply
ltcommanderdata - Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - link"While most of the attention this previous week has been focused on Apple's A5X SoC inside the iPad (3rd Gen), the other Apple-SoC news is that of the S5L8942 or A5 revision 2 inside the Apple TV 3, and iPad2,4."
In page 2 of the article you mention the iPad2,4? Where does this come from? Are you saying Apple quietly revved the iPad 2 when they dropped the price to $399? Hopefully not. With 1x512MB on a 1x32-bit memory bus in the new A5 versus 2x256MB on a 2x32-bit memory bus in the old A5, that would fragment the iPad 2 userbase with different performance profiles. Reply
Brian Klug - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkThe iPad2,4 reference comes from numerous configuration files/plist files in iOS 5.1. At this point I don't know if it's simply the iPad 2 R2 (aka cheapified iPad 2) or something else, and I think the jury is still out. Even so it's possible to just put a different memory device on top and maintain 2x32 (which I hope they've done) whereas the ATV3 just gets the 1x32 512 MB device.
Again, I haven't seen that iPad out in the wild, but it definitely includes the same Apple SoC revision.
-Brian Reply
ltcommanderdata - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkMaybe it's the much speculated iPad Mini? Personally, given Apple's talk of iPads in education and the learning potential that is there for students, I'm hoping it's a cut down education specific iPad 2 model. A single core A5 should be sufficient for iBook textbooks and learning games and selling it with dramatically reduced profit margin at say a $249 unit price would really drive school adoption. It won't be an immediate money maker for Apple, but early iOS familiarity can ripple into continued iOS customers as the kids grow up. All pure speculation of course. Reply
Morelian - Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - linkI've owned the Apple TV (2) for the past year or so and have found it a useful device. We have multiple Iphones and Ipads in the house so the airplay thingy is good, and the apple tv will get media off the windows pcs as well. In my house it is mostly used as the Netflix access device hooked up to the 52 inch hdtv. The Netflix app on the Apple TV is better than the one on the Sony Blueray player.
The selling point to me is if you have other Apple products the device is handy but even if you don't, it still is a good buy if your TV doesn't have a Netflix player attached.
This review tells me I should get new Apple TV for the big TV and give the kids who have the little TV the old one :P Reply
amagrude - Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - linkThe remote is slightly different in the Apple TV v3. The top 4-way circle has a pronounced circle bulge along the inner circle. The v2 remote (and every other metal one I've used) was rounded smooth in the shape of the contour of the remote. I like the new feel better - easier to get your finger into the center of that 4-way switch w/o looking. Reply
Brian Klug - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkWeird, I bought my Apple TV 2 about halfway into its product cycle, so I think I might've just gotten the updated remote.
Compare if you will the Apple TV 2 and 3 remote (the 2 is the one with small dents/scuffs from where I've dropped it) in the gallery: http://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Album/1822#13

nfineon - Wednesday, March 21, 2012 - linkThis is exactly the review I was hoping to find, with a more technical explanation of the hardware underpinnings that Apple doesn't really care to advertise. I personally have 6 Apple TV's throughout the house in all the key rooms and we get tremendous usage out of the Apple TV. Sitting at the dinner table together being able to instantly share our photos and videos via airplay is very nice, but a lot of people also don't realize that you can facetime on the big screen using the airplay mirroring function (try FaceTime on a 100" Projector/LCD and your mother won't ever want to use the small screen again).
It's good to hear the antenna gain as improved, and i was really really hoping they would bump up to 2 spacial streams to get us 130 mb/s as Airplay of 1080p videos takes 2-3 times longer to load from the iPhone 4s camera as compared to the traditional 720p. That would also necessitate a bump up in all the iPad/iPhone devices as well given that all of them are also limited to 65 mb/s.
But the #1 usage of the Apple TV's in our house is in streaming our movie/show collection from our Synology NAS in any format. You can't do this with the default firmware, which is why we use the FireCore firmware that keeps the same interface and functions as the original Apple TV while adding the ability to stream from any network device in any format. Also lets you install XBMC, plex and a few other handy tools if you want to go the extra mile but that alone has made the Apple TV increase in value considerably! Reply
Brian Klug - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkI was hoping for 2 spatial stream WLAN connectivity as well, unfortunately it just isn't here yet.
No doubt future revisions of the Apple TV will use either BCM43241 (which is 2x2:2 and dual-band), instead of the direct BCM4330 successor, BCM4334 (which is still 1 spatial stream, but built on 45nm instead of 4330's 65nm).

Shaun-T - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkWhat I want to know is, why doesn't Apple allow the refresh rate to be 24fps on the Apple TV 3? I read somewhere that the Apple TV 2 only output at 25 or 30fps as 720p/24 wasn't an official standard, but 1080p/24 is.
So now we have a device that supports 1080p and the content sold on iTunes is 1080p/24. As BluRay players and and modern HD televisions use this, I don't understand why the the Apple TV 3 only outputs at 25 or 30fps. In either of those refresh rates, you get a stutter every second or so when playing 24fps content. It's really annoying. Reply
MGSsancho - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkThis device is not for what apple calls videohpines who wan to play BD ISOs, DVD ISOs and the llike. It is designed to play anything found on iTunes. If you can get other stuff to play then that is just the gravy on top. For things that are actully useful (at least on current offerings) we are forced to jailbreak it. :) Reply
cjs150 - Friday, March 23, 2012 - linkWhat an incredible oversite (bit like Apple advertising the Ipad 3 as 4G in Europe when it is not).
But given that Intel are/were (what is latest position) incapable of producing a chip which outputed at the correct frame rate either (unlike AMD) why should we be surprised.
BD frame rate are not exactly an obscure or new standard!
I guess I will just drop this off my list of things to buy at least until someone jailbreaks it and gets the right frame rate and XBMC on it Reply
solipsism - Saturday, March 24, 2012 - linkWhy doesn't Europe follow the ITU's definition of 4G? Reply
alpha64 - Friday, March 23, 2012 - linkYour comment in the third page, which reads:
In addition, the Apple TV 3 also moves from Broadcom's BCM4329 802.11a/b/g/n and BT 2.0+EDR combo chip to BCM4330 802.11a/b/g/n and BT 4.0 combo chip which we've seen in the iPad 2, iPhone 4S, and countless other mobile devices.
Should say "we've seen in the iPad 3, iPhone 4S, ..."
The iPad 2 had the same BCM4329 as the iPad and iPhone 4:

jpcuve - Monday, March 26, 2012 - linkI purchased one too. Since the last upgrade it plays all my movies correctly (600+), with the subtitles. Reply
locust76 - Tuesday, March 27, 2012 - linkI have the new Apple TV and a 40-inch 1080p Sony LCD, and I definitely notice a new sharpness and realism to the images and video from iTunes.
I think it's also worth mentioning what this thing can do outside of the iTunes ecosphere: I ripped the Star Wars Ep 4 Blu-Ray and compressed it down to iTunes-level specifications, but with almost 10 Mbit/s video bitrate and DD 5.1.
The Apple TV handled it with no problem, save for buffering issues which prevented me from skipping wildly throughout the movie without longer pauses. However, when the movie was playing, it played without stuttering with exceptional picture quality, considering I was running a video stream through it that was probably double Apple's intended bitrate...

kwrzesien - Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - linkIs this with wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi? Reply
Fanfoot - Tuesday, March 27, 2012 - linkOne of the things I wish Apple would do with this device is to enable support of HDMI CEC. From the few posts I've seen on the subject it looks like Apple has once again failed to incorporate this into the new Apple TV 3.
Why does this matter? Because with HDMI CEC if I want to AirPlay something from my iPhone I would just click through to use AirPlay on my iPhone and bang my TV would automatically switch to the Apple TV input without my having to do anything. As it is I have to a) hit the input button on my TiVo remote a bunch of times, then b) because my Samsung monitor is stupid and won't time out and get rid of the input list EVER I have to find my Samsung TV remote and press "OK" THEN initiate AirPlay from my iPhone. Which is STUPID.
Lots and lots of TVs and receivers and so forth support HDMI CEC now. I don't understand why Apple doesn't support it, even as a user-enabled option... Reply
Eug - Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - linkMaybe I'm misreading the article, but it sounds like it's suggesting the Apple TV 2 is still limited to 720p playback. This is not actually the case. The new Apple TV 2 OS update that landed when Apple TV 3 was released has allowed playback of 1080p on the Apple TV 2 as well, including iTunes 1080p.
Sure, the output is still limited to 720p but the key here is that the OS update has allowed much better 1080p support for the Apple TV 2.
Previously most 1080p I encoded myself would stutter on Apple TV 2. So, I just encoded them at 720p. However, since the OS update, I've tried a couple of non-iTunes 1080p files, and they work perfectly fine now, without stuttering. Going forward, all my encodes for Apple TV 2 will be 1080p.
It would be nice to see in a future article limitations of 1080p support with Apple TV 2 as compared to Apple TV 3, in terms of things like stuttering, etc. vs. bitrates. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple TV 2 fully capable of smooth 25 Mbps high profile level 4.0 content just like its younger brother, Apple TV 3. Reply
MadMacMan - Saturday, March 31, 2012 - linkGreat review, as always! :) Am I too late to the party or are there any Roku 2 (XS or XD) users who can chime in about the performance of WDTV vs. the aforementioned 1080p-capable Roku 2 players vs. the Apple TV 2 or 3? What are the main differences?
Anand, since you mentioned it, I've been running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and the additional AirPlay mirroring features that you alluded to are indeed extremely useful! Consider this: Running 1080p content in VLC on my MBP and then clicking on AirPlay will mirror the entire desktop quickly and quite beautifully, VLC playing 1080p or 720p or whatever very much included! So far, there are only HiDPI profiles for 1280x720, though, which will hopefully change to include 1920x1080 by the time OS X 10.8 is released to the public. Reply
Dug - Monday, April 02, 2012 - linkI have an iPad2 and Apple TV 2.
I think the combo is is one of the best as far as entertainment and music playing goes.
Playing rdio, pandora, movies, music, garage band, icloud, etc is a whole different experience when you have an iPad as a controller because you have essentially a different interface to quickly select things.
I would like to see an update with the new iPad and Apple TV 3 when you get a chance.
I'm curious how developers with higher resolution apps work with the Apple TV now. I would also like to see how it handles mirroring. Reply
kaki4125 - Thursday, August 16, 2012 - linkIf you are HD 1080P videos crazy fans and are looking for the ways to playing 1080P videos on your Apple TV you can use iFunia Apple TV Video Converter to convert all your HD Videos for Apple TV Reply

There was a disturbance in the force. Last night was the first time in 2 years that the Gamecocks Baseball team has lost a game when I've made pizza on the grill. I don't know what went wrong. Pizza was still good though.
Mine was topped with Marinara, Fresh Basil, Mozzarella, Feta Cheese, Sundried Tomatoes and Pepperoni.
My wife's pizza had the same, minus the Sundried Tomatoes and Basil.
This time I didn't use the Publix pre-made dough ball from their bakery. Instead I made the pizza dough recipe from the Naked Whiz website (Naked Whiz Bread Machine Pizza dough)...this was the recipe that Griffin recently used for his calzones (except I used White Cornmeal instead of yellow)...
http://grilldome.net/recipes/pizza/nake ... zza-dough/
http://griffinsgrub.wordpress.com/2012/ ... -the-bge/#
I followed the recipe from Griffin's blog when I was making the dough....I was thinking it was the same recipe as this one that I've made before (Naked Whiz NY Style pizza dough), except utilizing a bread machine instead of the old fashioned way of letting it rise in a warm location:
I knew something was different, as the dough from last night seemed a little more dense than the Naked Whiz NY Style pizza dough. Wasn't until this evening that I realized they were 2 separate recipes. It was still good, but I prefer less denseness to the dough on my pizza (just my personal preference though). I have to say though, it was very convenient to use the bread machine.
I think I'm going to have to change it up for tomorrow's game versus Kent State. My lucky pizza days are over I believe. Maybe do some burgers since I've been craving those lately. I'll have to think about it.

Weather, family responsibilities and work have conspired to keep me from doing my inaugural cook on my CG. This weekend is it!! I've got 4 racks of ribs sitting in the fridge and I'm so excited to get going.
Here's my problem. My wife picked up 4 racks of ribs for me at Whole Foods. I told her to get Spares, and she says she asked for Spare Ribs. What she came home with are St Louis ribs. Now in her defense the label says St Louis Spare Ribs.
I looked around here and I saw the 3-2-1 method is for Spares and 2-2-1 is for Baby Backs. What time do you guys recommend for St Louis style ribs on the CG w/ SFB? Thanks in advance.

Allegations of election rigging are nothing new in Russia. But a new study of ballot box fraud has provoked strident denunciations from Kremlin circles – because it has emerged from a corner of the regime least expected.
The study was prepared by a little-known thinktank called the Centre for Analysis of Problems and Public Governance, which concludes that accounting for electoral fraud, the opposition Communist Party should have won the 2011 Duma elections with 30 per cent of the vote, rather than the Kremlin-backed United Russia. UR officially took 49 per cent, but the study says it should have got 22 per cent, according to versions of the report leaked to the press.
The study also concluded that Vladimir Putin would have still won the presidential poll in March, but with 52 per cent rather than 65 percent of the vote.
These conclusions, questioning the legitimacy of the ruling party, and the mandate of Mr Putin, would probably have been stomached had they been raised by an opposition group.
But it turns out the Centre is connected to the solid core of the Kremlin. It's a right-wing thinktank associated with a branch of Putin's circle known as the "Orthodox Chekisti" for their links to the Orthodox church and their professional backgrounds in the Soviet era security services ("Chekist" in Russian is slang for spy). The Centre's scientific director is Vladimir Yakunin, chief of Russia's state railway monopoly, who owns a country house in the same compound as Putin on Lake Komsomolskoe near St Petersburg.

Paul Brown, One of Pro Football's Primary Architects, Dead at 82
Paul Brown, a football innovator who founded the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals and built them into professional powers, died yesterday morning. He was 82 years old.
Allan Heim, a spokesman for the Bengals, said Mr. Brown died from complications caused by pneumonia, at his home in Cincinnati.
He's certainly one of the key figures in professional sports," said Ken Anderson, a former Bengals quarterback. "Football would not be what it is without him. He was always concerned about his guys after football. Football was
just a steppingstone. He wanted you to prepare for your life's work." Winner at Many Levels
Although Mr. Brown was a team owner and a general manager during his long and successful career, it was as a coach that he made his mark. He was a winner at every level of the game: high school, college, the military and the professional leagues.
As coach at Massillon (Ohio) High School in the 1930's, Mr. Brown became better known than most college coaches. Under Mr. Brown, Massillon was undefeated in 1935, 1936, 1938, 1939 and 1940. His teams lost only one of the 60 games he coached there.
In 1941, Mr. Brown became head coach of Ohio State, and by 1942 Ohio State was the unofficial national collegiate champion.
Two years later, as a lieutenant in the Navy, Mr. Brown was ordered to assemble a football team at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center in Illinois. "The admiral told me it was good for morale," Mr. Brown said later. "We put a
stadium in the center of the parade grounds, and one time we had 100,000 people."
He had complete freedom to choose players from the pool of recruits and enlisted men, and by that method he put together a team that was, perhaps, the most powerful in the United States at the time.
It was not until after the war that the 160-pound, baldish taskmaster achieved wide acclaim, as founder, part owner, general manager and coach of the Cleveland Browns in the All-American Football Conference.
It was with that team, which was named after him, that he became an innovator, by introducing intelligence tests for players, a year-round coaching staff, face guards on helmets, diagrammed pass patterns and a system of using guards as messengers to send in plays.
None of that would have mattered had the Browns been also-rans. But the team that Mr. Brown masterminded won four straight titles in the short-lived All-American Conference, as it posted a record of 47 victories, 4 losses and 3 ties. He then continued winning with most of the same players when the team entered the National Football League in 1950, in a merger.
The transition to the N.F.L. couldn't have gone more smoothly for the Browns. The club, which boasted stars like Otto Graham, Marion Motley, Mac Speedie, Dante Lavelli and Lou Groza, won the league title -- the first of its three league championships -- in its first year. In the time he was coach of the Browns in the N.F.L., Mr. Brown's teams won 111 games, lost 44 and tied 5. The Serious Approach
Through these years of success in two leagues, Mr. Brown's no-nonsense image was established. When his 1949 team lost for the first time after winning 29 consecutive games, his players anticipated a congratulatory pat for the streak. Instead, Mr. Brown said to the assembled squad: "I'm telling you this and it's cold turkey. If those of you who fell down on the job don't bounce back, I'll sell you."
Mr. Brown insisted on a dress and behavior code for his players: no T-shirts in training camp, no smoking in front of children, and no drinking in public places during the football season.
It was well known that Mr. Brown enjoyed a dry martini before dinner, but he gave it up during the football season because he asked his players to sacrifice
such pleasures then.

Medicine Ball: Leather 20 Pound
Medicine balls are the classic strength and conditioning tools of boxers, but have been adopted by a variety of martial artists and other athletes. Traditionally made of leather shell with a heavy "soft" padding on the inside. Partner assisted training with a medicine ball allows the athlete to work a wide range of explosive moves that also help in neuro-muscular coordination.
For the classic medicine ball exercises, nothing beats the feel of a well conditioned and worn leather med ball. I recommend that you regularly use a leather cleaner and then a leather conditioner if you want to achieve that classic old school feel. In the Atomic Athletic Warehouse Gym, we use a brand called "Leather Therapy", but I have spoken with customers who swear by a variety of other leather conditioning products.
Price is for one 20 Pound Leather Medicine Ball as shown in product photo 1st on the right. Other medicine balls in photo are shown for comparison purposes ONLY.

Vietnam vets take guests, other vets up in the air
If you've visited The 1968 Exhibit, chances are you've seen the Huey helicopter, which looks as if it has landed right in the middle of a '60s-era living room.
Greeting visitors at the show's entrance, the aircraft is part of a stunning tableau that includes film and audio and serves as a visual metaphor of the impact of the Vietnam War on American life.
And because it is part of a museum exhibition, the helicopter will probably never again take to the skies, unlike the Huey built and maintained by a group of Bay Area-based Vietnam veterans, their families and friends.
Known as the EMU 309, the Army green Bell UH-1H aircraft, or "slick," is both a tribute and flying museum. Fabricated from the skeleton of a Huey helicopter once owned by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, the functioning aircraft honors those who fought and died while serving in the war as part of the 135th Assault Helicopter Company, an experimental military unit made up of soldiers from the U.S. Army and Australian navy.
But while the 309 remains true to the spirit of the original, its creators think of it as a representation; the longest surviving slick in the 135th no longer exists and no helicopters from the company remain. So veterans Geoff Carr and Peter Olesko decided to build a replica of the helicopter they navigated through the war-torn landscape of Vietnam.
"We're trying to preserve this so younger people will know about these things," Carr told a group of veterans, friends and guests gathered behind a hangar at the Hayward Executive Airport.
Tall and outspoken with a ponytail peeking out from under his cap, Carr recounted the history of the aircraft as we waited for our turns to board the 309 one April morning.
Hueys were used to ferry Vietnamese and American infantry and served as medevacs, Carr told us. Their crew included an air commander, a co-pilot, crew chiefs and door gunners. Attrition rates were high and a Huey's average life expectancy was 8 months. Soldiers could wear body armor or "chicken plate" in the form of a vest, but there were advantages to forgoing it such as gaining the respect of Vietnamese sergeants or dodging safety risks if one's armor became entangled in a helicopter during a bad situation.
And the simplicity of the Huey's interior proved useful, too. If a pilot was shot at the controls, you'd simply pull the seat back and fly. "They gave you one of these at 18 or 19 years old," Carr told us. "You signed up for them."
After describing the attention and care it takes to get the 309 up in the air, Carr said it was time to climb aboard and buckle our seat belts for the 20-minute flight. We were given noise-muffling headphones to help lessen the Huey's deafening roar, and the pilots flipped switches and checked gauges before the helicopter began to ascend.
Soon, the 309 was flying above Hayward and the rolling hills of Sunol. Buildings and homes gave way to open space visible from the aircraft's exposed sides and I couldn't help but wonder what it must have felt like to ride in the belly of a Huey to and from battle in Vietnam.
Later, I spoke with a few vets including John Dubpernell, who likes to photograph the 309 and helped install the "1968" Huey at the museum. He said he enjoys being around the EMU 309 crew and other veterans, and seeing people fly; it augments his therapy.
Don Agren, who was visiting from Chester, Va., said it had been decades since he'd flown in a Huey. He wasn't surprised to learn that his former colleague, Geoff Carr, had rebuilt a helicopter.
"He was quite a crew chief," Agren said, his face glowing from the day's ride. "It's just so awesome to go fly in this thing."

Cycling in Gérgal in Andalucia in Spain
all cycling regions
History, art, and nature, combined with a southern temperament! Andalusia, the largest autonomous province of Spain, lies inland of the Costa del Sol, the Costa de la Luz, and the Costa de Almería. This is the area of flamenco, bullfights, fiestas, and festivals. It is famous for its lively culture and its wonderful towns, such as Sevilla, Granada, and Cordóba, and, of course, also for its gorgeous white villages in the hills of the Sierra de Grazalema. There is a special ?Route of the White Villages? here, which runs from Arcos de la Frontera to Ronda.
The scenery is diverse: valleys, olive orchards, rugged sierras, desert areas, and large plains, with the snow-capped mountains of the Sierra Nevada offering an impressive contrast. Because of the combination of culture, history, and diverse nature, the area has something for everyone. You could go sunbathing on the long sandy beaches, but you could also practise winter sports in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, the highest mountain range of Spain (about 62km of ski slopes).
Many different peoples and times have left an impressive heritage, which is reflected in castles, monasteries, palaces, and churches in Renaissance, Baroque, and Moresque styles. If you are looking for culture and history, don't forget to visit the towns of Sevilla, Granada, and Córdoba! Here, you could pay a visit to fascinating Moresque buildings, such as the famous Alhambra in Granada, and the Mezquita in Córdoba, both listed UNESCO World Heritage sites. And you might also enjoy a brimming musical festival or a fiesta...
Andalusia has two national parks, Doòana (in the coastal area of the Costa de la Luz) and Sierra Nevada, both listed UNESCO World Heritage sites, and there are also many other natural parks and reserves, both in the interior and in the coastal areas.
This area is also very suitable for sports activities. In addition to water sports on the coast, you could also practise winter sports, mountain climbing, canoeing of the river of Guadalquivir, speleology, parapenting, horse riding, and golfing. Do keep in mind, though, that in summer temperatures can become fairly high in this southern area.
For more information on the coastal areas of Andalusia, have a look at the region information of the Costa del Sol, the Costa de la Luz, and the Costa de Almería.

Approximately 5%-10% of breast cancers are due to inherited genetic mutations, like BRCA1 and BRCA2. People with these mutations have a 40%-80% risk of contracting breast cancer and a high risk of ovarian cancer. Other factors that increase risk are:
-First period before age 12; menopause after 55; excess weight after menopause
-First child after age 30; no children; taking birth control pills for five years or longer
-Drinking more than one alcoholic drink per day
-Current or recent use of combined estrogen and synthetic progestogen or progesterone hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
-High breast density; a previous biopsy showing hyperplasia (an excessive growth of tissue) or carcinoma in situ (a localized, microscopic form of cancer)
-Exposure to large amounts of radiation; treatment for Hodgkin's disease at a young age
-History of breast or ovarian cancer

Halloween is coming up quickly, and my siblings have been planning their costumes for months. Besides the candy, what makes Halloween so exciting is that you get to pretend to be anything for one night, and you don't worry about looking like a fool doing it. Let's face it, many adults get into it too.
My brother, Simeon, has wanted to be a terrorist for months. He has an image in his head about what a terrorist is. My parents have spent much time trying to explain to Simeon that a terrorist is a behavior not a character. He has replaced his original plan with wanting to be a zombie. His excitement for being a zombie begins with him getting to rip up a T-shirt. He has had a T-shirt picked out for a month and just can't wait to start the ripping process. Another reason he really wants to be a zombie is so he can have fake blood all over him. We had some company over the other day, and Simeon, who always needs to show-off, came running outside telling my mom that there had been an accident with a knife and he needed help. It was obvious by the strong odor of ketchup that he was faking. He had ketchup smeared all up his arm and on his neck.
I asked Justus what he wanted to be for Halloween, and he said he wants to be a girl. He said, "A girl is the scariest thing you can be on Halloween." I explained to him that I was going to write about this for a column, and he quickly changed his mind and decided to be Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison or Elvis. He wants to be one of these people, so he can walk around with his guitar all night and play for people. I think he likes the attention he gets after he plays a song for people because he is pretty good at guitar. Maybe I will suggest he set up shop on a corner somewhere and put out a hat for collections. And please, somebody ask the poor kid for his autograph.
Faustina is the most stubborn with Halloween costumes. Not that long ago she participated in the Bureau County Fair talent show. She sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and talked my grandma into making her a Dorothy costume. Of course, the outfit would not be complete for Faustina unless she had red ruby slippers. When my mom told her they were too much money, she persuaded our friend Lynn to buy them. All along, it was understood that Dorothy would be her Halloween costume. After the talent show was over, I told Faustina she had a perfect most adorable Halloween costume, but she no longer agreed. Dorothy was a thing of the past for Faustina. She had her ruby slippers, which are now well worn and would not dream of being Dorothy for Halloween. Instead, the girl wants to be a cowgirl or Indian.
Patience is too young to get the idea of Halloween but what she loves more then anything is to copy all of her older siblings. We have two huge buckets of costumes put away in the old hog house. My mom usually gets the buckets out about noon on Halloween, and the fun begins. Patience loves anything she calls "pretty princess," so I am guessing she will decide on a fancy dress. However this is usually because she is copying Faustina. If Faustina isn't a princess, I don't know what she will choose. The original idea was for her to be a lion to go with Dorothy, but that is out the window.
My brother, Milo, is really into knights and anything with weapons. Not really guns, but swords, axes ... well heck, I don't know what they are all called. For as long as I can remember, he has chosen his Christmas presents based on what the guy is using for his weapon. My mom has screwed up many times getting him the wrong guy because they all look alike to her. So, Milo wants to be a knight, ninja or anything with a sword. I am not sure where he is getting the sword because my mom swears she isn't spending anything for the costumes. I think there might be one up above the kitchen cabinets. That is where my mom throws things when she gets frustrated with a toy that is causing problems. Brush off the dust, and it will be good as new.
After all these kids, my mom has come to hate this holiday. The costumes are so expensive and cause so many problems in the house. She has wanted us for years to put on hard hats, neon green Advanced Asphalt T-shirts, which are plentiful in my dad's closet, and go as a bunch of construction workers. She says it will be the safest costume ever because nobody will miss six kids marching through Greencroft wearing that glow in the dark yellow/green.
As for me, I am opting to pass out candy this year in the nice warm house of my grandparents. Happy Halloween!

ORLANDO, Fla. - A newly released Internal Affairs report shows an Orlando police officer lied about having sex with a woman in custody and tried to cover up the incident.
Officer Roderick Johnson was arrested after a 22-year-old woman said they had sex while she was being taken to jail. She now claims the officer got her pregnant, according to investigators.
According to the report, detectives said Johnson lied about several things, including giving the woman $40 after sex, taking her to a police substation prior to going to jail and buying her a cigar.
Detectives said Johnson's excuses crumbled and they believe the woman's story that she was raped while handcuffed by the 20-year veteran of the Orlando police force.
Investigators said Johnson arrested the woman at a gas station for driving a stolen jeep. That's when Johnson started flirting, and then took her to a substation where they had sex on a desk. The convicted prostitute said she agreed to consensual sex because she feared Johnson would add more charges to her arrest. Johnson finally took her to jail and the unidentified woman came forward days later when she thought she was given a sexually transmitted disease.
Local 6 has learned "she recently found out she was pregnant, and believes she may have conceived during the sexual encounter," according to the report.
Johnson denied everything, but the report said he was "deceptive and dishonest" and he "lied repeatedly" to his own superiors. It went on to say "Officer Johnson's conduct makes the Department the subject of public ridicule and lowers it in public esteem."
Before Internal Affairs could get Johnson to sign the report, he decided to retire.
He's still facing those criminal charges and still denies having sex with the woman.

A HISTORIC dock on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal is set to be brought back into use for the first time in 43 years.
Burnley's Bank Hall Dry Dock, once owned by the nearby colliery of the same name, was one of the most important working docks in the North West at the height of the coal and textile era.
It closed in 1971 but has now been restored by two semi-retired couples who have launched their own business painting and repairing canal boats on the site.
Les and Angela White, Brian Denison and Jane Garnett have set up Feather and Gaskell, which they hope will 'bring the derelict site back to life' when it officially opens in the autumn.
Mr White said: "The dry dock at Bank Hall had been in a very sad state and had declined into serious disrepair over many years. The dock was actually being used as a dumping ground and was full of rubbish; you wouldn't really have known it was there.
"After months of blood, sweat and tears, and personal financial investment, we have lovingly restored the dry dock brick by brick, cobble by cobble. We recycled cobbles and bricks from the local area, including some of the bricks from the former Barden Mill.
"We've had support and advice on restoring the dock from the engineers at the Canal and River Trust, who are delighted with our restoration works.
"It has been a real labour of love. We've all had a passion for canal boats for many years and have our own boats. It was a wonderful sight to fill the dock for the first time and to steer in a barge to repair for the first time."
Mr Denison said he hoped the dock, also known as Birley's Dock, would benefit from the rise in canal boats' popularity following the expansion of Reedley Marina.
He said: "The nearest dry docks for the paint and repair of barges are a four-day sail away in either direction, Skipton and Wigan, so it would take almost two weeks to get a boat serviced."
"Now we can serve the local marina and East Lancashire area in a much shorter time. We've already got a list of boats waiting to be serviced and painted."
"We are really proud of our achievement and feel we have created a legacy for future boat users and for Burnley."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/1/2013 (1688 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
PASADENA -- It might be campy. And it might be weird and funny, in an over-the-top, showbiz-excess kind of way.
But first and foremost, says Matt Damon, the story told in the HBO movie Behind the Candelabra is a serious love story, and Job 1 for him and co-star Michael Douglas was to treat it respectfully and get it right.
"There are aspects of the relationship that were absurd," he said of the film, which tells the story of the tempestuous pairing of legendary entertainer Liberace, known as Lee to his friends, and his chauffeur/lover, Scott Thorson. "But for me, it just kind of pointed out that there are aspects of all of our lives that are absurd. And they're just not absurd to us because they're our lives.... It was so complex, their relationship.
"If this was a relationship between a man and a woman, you'd feel at moments like, 'This is too intimate, maybe I shouldn't be here.' But it's between a man and a man, and I've never seen that movie before. So it was fun, but we weren't giggling about it. We took it very seriously. These were people's lives and we wanted to get it right."
Behind the Candelabra, which will air this spring on HBO, has Douglas in the role of the flamboyant pianist/showman and Damon playing Thorson, who was a teenager when he became Liberace's live-in companion. The movie, directed by Steven Soderbergh, is based on the younger man's tell-all memoir, written after he and Liberace had a very acrimonious parting.
Clips shown during HBO's portion of the U.S. networks' semi-annual press tour in Los Angeles feature Douglas and Damon in some very intimate situations. Douglas praised his co-star for the fearless approach he took to playing Liberace's deeply conflicted much-younger lover.
"I just want to commend Matt, because I don't think I would have had the courage at that point in my career to take this on," he said.
For his part, Damon said wardrobe -- period specific, and in keeping with Liberace's wildly outlandish style -- played a big part in allowing him and Douglas to get into their characters.
"I've always been somebody who goes into the wardrobe fitting and I just try to get out as fast as I can," he says. "When they ask me what kind of shoes (I need), at this point I look for the most comfortable shoes... I just kind of can't be bothered with it.
"But this was a very specific thing. And I probably spent more time in the wardrobe fittings on this thing than I had in the previous 15 projects, literally. Days and days and days. And I really enjoyed it."
Some have speculated that Thorson's interest in Liberace was motivated by material gain, but Damon said he believes the relationship was based on a real emotional connection.
"I think (Thorson's) love was genuine, but I think it was complicated," he offers. "He was somebody who was a foster kid and was looking for a family... and Lee gave that to him. And I think they had a profound love for each other and it ended badly, but there were a lot of wonderful moments and a lot of ups and downs and a lot of things that everybody goes through in long-term relationships.
"But I don't think Scott had an angle the whole time. I think he genuinely fell for him, which is why he was hurt ultimately at the end."

According to Consumer Reports, there could be six hidden hazards in your home. Indoor air quality isn't on most people's radar. Only 9 percent of Americans consider it a threat to their health, and 70 percent aren't concerned about it at all, according to a recent survey by the Consumer Reports National Research Center.
But many of the things people do or don't do, can add to the stew of airborne contaminants in their homes and worsen asthma, allergies and other health conditions.
Household cleaners: A 2009 study by the Environmental Working Group identified 457 air contaminants, 24 were linked to serious health concerns, including cancer, in 21 household cleaners. Products labeled "green" were better overall, though the group found 93 contaminants in Simple Green Concentrated Cleaner.
That's partly because many claims on cleaning products aren't based on any standards. Fragrances in cleaners are seldom disclosed. Terpenes, for example, give products a pine or lemon scent, but they're linked to respiratory problems. They also can react with ambient ozone to form formaldehyde, a known carcinogen and other irritants.
Consumer Reports suggest that what you can do:
- Though it sounds obvious, always read product labels and follow directions for use. And open a window or run a fan when cleaning.
- If you have asthma or allergies, use products without fragrances or those with the DfE label.
- For a homemade glass cleaner, mix 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice with 1 quart of water. To clean toilets, use baking soda or vinegar and a toilet brush. To help get rid of odors, sprinkle baking soda on rugs or carpets, wait 15 minutes, then vacuum.
Old lead-based paint: Planning to paint? Old lead-based paint is the most significant source of lead poisoning in the U.S. Roughly 35 million homes, or about half of those built before lead-based paint was banned in 1978, have lead paint, according to a recent federal study. Yet only 17 percent of those we surveyed said they had their homes checked for it.
You can put yourself in danger by scraping, sanding, or burning lead-based paint. Lead can also be released when painted surfaces rub against each other, as when a window is opened. Children are particularly at risk.
What you can do:
- If you have young children and an older home, have it tested for lead by an EPA- or state-certified pro using an XRF machine, or have paint-chip analysis by an EPA-certified lab.
- Mop floors and wipe windows and surfaces that children might chew on, such as crib rails.
- Leave lead-based paint undisturbed if it's in good condition, except where painted surfaces rub against each other. For damaged areas, follow the EPA's guidelines for removing lead paint or hire a painter who is EPA-certified.
Carbon Monoxide and Radon: Carbon monoxide and radon are colorless, odorless, and deadly. CO kills quickly. Faulty gas ranges, cooktops, and furnaces can emit CO, as can wood, kerosene and propane heaters. Gas generators also emit CO, so don't run them in a garage or outside near open windows. Radon is the top cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers, though it can take years of exposure. It seeps from rocks, soil or water beneath your house. Radon levels can vary greatly, even from home to home on the same block. The only way to know whether your house has a radon problem is to test for it.
What you can do:
- Have your heating system and any other fuel-burning appliance inspected annually.
- Install a CO alarm on each level, including the basement.
- Change the batteries on your CO alarm according to your owner's manual, or at least every year. Only 53 percent of those we surveyed said they did that.
- Replace your CO alarm every five years.
- Run a long-term (90-day or longer) radon test. They cost $20 to $40 and are sold online.
- For homes with 2 to 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher, consider treatment ($800 to $2,500).
Combustion particles or gases:
Even vented gas ranges, cooktops, furnaces, and fireplaces can release harmful gases, soot and particles into the air if they're not properly installed and maintained.
The same is true with vented wood-burning stoves and fireplaces. Unvented fuel-burning appliances always release small amounts of those substances.
When someone in your household smokes, the nicotine released by the cigarettes or cigars adheres to walls, carpeting, drapes, and other indoor surfaces and can react with nitrous acid (chiefly from unvented gas appliances) to form carcinogens, according to a recent Department of Energy study.
What you can do:
- Always run the exhaust hood when using your gas range or cleaning your oven, or open a window.
- Periodically inspect burner ports on your gas stove and clean clogged ones with a needle.
- Clean a frequently used chimney annually.
- Ban smoking from your house.
Interior Mold:
The ideal indoor relative humidity is between 30 to 50 percent. Less than that and nasal passages can become dry. At higher levels, mold can grow. Humidifiers and dehumidifiers can help or create more problems. Humidifiers should be emptied daily and disinfected regularly because mold can grow within 24 to 48 hours on wet surfaces. Mold and bacteria in the tank can be released into the air.
Dehumidifier filters and tanks also need maintenance, though not as much. Check the manufacturer's directions. Bathroom exhaust fans also reduce humidity but need cleaning to avoid dust buildup, a medium for germs.
Not all cleaning is smart. Air ducts need cleaning only in limited circumstances-when there's visible mold, pests, or dust clogging them. Still, 49 percent of survey respondents clean their ducts at least once a year.
What you can do:
- Every season, check gutters, leaders, and downspouts for proper pitch, clogs, and broken fasteners or connections.
- Make sure that gutter pipes extend at least 5 feet from the house and that the soil around the foundation slopes away from the house.
- Avoid mold test kits; we've found them to be unreliable.
- Treat small areas of mold with a mixture of 1 part chlorine bleach and 16 parts water. Wear goggles, an N-95 respirator, and heavy-duty gloves. Make sure to ventilate the room when you're working.
Air fresheners, candles and incense:
Behind the soothing fragrances of air fresheners, candles, and incense are volatile organic compounds. Air fresheners can also contain phthalates, which are linked to cancer and reproductive problems.
"A few manufacturers changed their products after our 2007 report found phthalates in 12 of 14 air fresheners we tested," said Gina Solomon, M.D., a senior scientist at the National Resources Defense Council. "That's good, because companies are reformulating to make their products safer, but it's also bad because it's hard to know what's currently in any given product."
Scented candles and incense also release soot and particles into the air, which can trigger asthma attacks and allergic reactions.
What you can do
- If you or someone in your household has serious allergies or asthma, avoid air fresheners, candles, and incense.
- If pollen or related allergies keep you from opening windows, run your air conditioner or forced-air cooling system with a clean filter. Or consider a filter-based air purifier.

Thank you Yury Shteyn for sharing your awesome pic with us on Facebook.
We are curious how these banana muffins turned out, especially considering you used coconut flour. In our mind, anything with sprinkles counts as having turned out pretty well.
Question to Cooking Channel fans: What substitutions do you like to make when baking, to give something your own personal twist?
Tell us below.

My sleeper pick in this NBA draft class was the no. 11 overall center from Vanderbilt, Will Perdue, but I'm thinking I might want to have stopped one short and taken a second look at Willie Anderson. In his first NBA game, the kid went 30/5/6.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Please, blog, may I have some more?
The NBA's 42nd season is all up in our collective faces; bigger and badder than ever – literally. The league has two more teams and those two teams look to give the Kings and Spurs a run for their total lack of money.
With under a week until the start of the NBA's 41st season, we're previewing all 25 teams. Whatchu say? Twenty-five teams? Yup. We're looking at every franchise in addition to shining a light on the new Eastern Conference expansion Charlotte Hornets and Western Conference expansion Miami Heat.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Cranberry should be avoided by people with an allergy or hypersensitivity to Vaccinium species (cranberries and blueberries) their parts, or members of the Ericaceae family. People who are allergic to aspirin should avoid drinking large quantities of cranberry juice.
Patients with diabetes or glucose intolerance may want to drink sugar-free cranberry juice to avoid a high sugar intake. High doses of cranberry may cause stomach distress and diarrhea, or may increase the risk of kidney stones in people with a history of oxalate stones. Some commercially available products are high in calories. On average, six ounces of cranberry juice contains approximately 100 calories. One study showed the possibility for occurrence of vaginal yeast infections in those women who often consume cranberry juice, although this has not been proven. Use cautiously if taking anticoagulants (blood thinners) such as warfarin, medications that affect the liver, or aspirin. Use cautiously in patients with altered hepatic function or in those taking cytochrome P450-metabolized agents. Use cranberry juice cautiously due to the high sugar content, which may negatively affect dental health. Use cautiously in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, based on the potential for acidic juices to increase joint pain. Avoid in those with known allergy or sensitivity to Vaccinium species (cranberries and blueberries), their parts, or members of the Ericaceae family.
Safety has not been determined in pregnancy and breastfeeding, although cranberry juice is believed to be safe in amounts commonly found in foods. Many tinctures contain high levels of alcohol and should be avoided during pregnancy.

Hershey`s Assorted Miniature Candy Bars
This is a Halloween staple. Mini Mr. Goodbar, Krackel (my favorite!), Hershey's Milk Chocolate and Hershey's Dark!

HOUSTON - Cameras were rolling when two masked men stormed into a southwest Harris county smoke shop, helping themselves to the merchandise behind the counters.
"I have never heard of anything happening like that over here -- a robbery or something. I haven't seen that," said Tony Hillmon, who lives in the area.
The surveillance video from Aug. 1 shows two men enter the shop along Addicks Clodine. According to detectives, the men barged into the empty store and quickly rushed over to the register. Out of the view of cameras, the suspects placed a gun to the owner's head demanding money.
The same style of crime happened Monday night 35 miles away in Channelview.
However, according to detectives, the clerk with armed and there was a shootout. The clerk was shot in the thigh and the suspects were able to get away.
As of now, police do not believe the cases are related.

AARON Cook's representatives have vowed to continue the fight to get the world's number one taekwondo fighter on the British Olympic team.
GB Taekwondo performance director Gary Hall is determined to keep his squad's energy focused on delivering medals in London, but the row over Cook's exclusion continues to rumble on.
Submissions have again be made to the British Olympic Association in which Cook's camp claim new evidence, from leading independent website Mastaek wondo.com, supports their case, one that may even result in legal action.
Elsewhere, the World Taekwondo Federation are also reviewing the decision to instead ratify Lutalo Muhammad – also a European champion but at a higher weight division.
Cook's manager Jamie Cunningham said in a statement: "We can confirm that Harbottle & Lewis have written to the BOA with advice from Michael Beloff QC of Blackstone Chambers.
"We have also included new evidence, including a sworn statement by the journalist from Mastaekwondo.com – the world's leading independent taekwondo news website.
"We can also confirm that we have fully supported the World Taekwondo Federation's investigation into the selection process.
"Finally, we would like to thank all taekwondo athletes, media and officials who have approached us from the UK and internationally with information and advice.
"I am sure that there is more to come and again any such approaches can be made either to myself or Robert Mitchell from Harbottle & Lewis in strictest confidence."
Cook claims he has been "cheated" out of his rightful place because of the decision to leave the GB Taekwondo Academy programme, which the governing body has always refuted.
The BOA ratified Muhammad's inclusion at the third time of asking, and are adamant GB Taekwondo's selection process was above board.
However, the chief executive of Mastaekwondo.com Claudio Aranda maintained they will stand by the article published during February this year, in which they stated information had been obtained which "asserts that Cook would not be confirmed to participate in London 2012" – and will give evidence if necessary.
GB Taekwondo issued a statement in response.
It read: "GB Taekwondo categorically denies any suggestion that this selection decision, for the under-80kg category, was pre-determined. This is simply untrue and malicious.
"We are seeking more information on the very serious and damaging allegations made and will comment further in due course."
The ongoing saga has overshadowed what had been a superb build-up to the Games from Hall's elite fighters, who followed up four medals at the World Championships with more impressive displays through the ranks at the 2012 European Championships in Manches-ter.
Hall, though, insists everyone else must put those issues aside and now fine-tune preparations – which include a purpose-built Olympic ring at their Manchester base, with teams from Korea, Russia, Croatia and France all set to train ahead of departure to the Loughborough holding camp.
"The issues around it (Olympic selection) are unfortunate, but we accept that these things happen," Hall said.
"What we are doing now is really turning the energy towards making sure these last few weeks of preparations go as best as they can so we are ready to deliver medals in London."

"I told her that I still take medication, and every morning I take that little pill with a prayer of thanksgiving that God made a way for those of us who suffer like this on such a broken planet. And, I told her that in the darkest moment of my life, I discovered that God lives very close to the floor, very near to those who are broken." Sheila Walsh, God Loves Broken People
While hanging in the abyss of time in a hospital NICU watching Isaac heal I have had the time to finish a few books I have been in the middle of. The quote above is from God Loves Broken People: And Those Who Pretend They're Not by Sheila Walsh. This book is a great read and has been perfect for the life we have right now…broken and hurting but trusting and having hope for an abundant life to come for Isaac. There are many, including us, who are living close to the floor in prayer, right where God meets us.We sit with him, touch him when we can, we beg God to fix him, make him whole and healthy and strong enough to come home. We already love him more than any words can speak. I have to pry Theresa away from that isolette, his little cocoon that has been all the life he has ever seen in his short life, each night to get the needed rest she needs. Afterall, she has had major surgery too.
I am being broken in ways too. It has nothing to do with healing, pumps, hoses, ventilators or with this hospital at all. I am struggling with surrendering and allowing people so serve us. Guys just don't handle that well. I am the one who serves people, our family is the one who hangs around long after an event and picks up the pieces, resets the platform when everyone else has gone home. We are the ones who serve, fix things, talk to other parents who are struggling with the news of a not-so-perfect child. We are the ones who are creating the "manual" on how to effectively clean poo from a ceiling fan. We ( mainly "I") have a hard time being served…Okay, I said it. "My name is Kevin and I have a hard time being served."
While we are attending to Isaac, there are hosts of people who are arranging care for Sarah Anne and Matthew, helping with fundraising to help send Hannah to Mozambique, Africa and Megan to Marvel, Arkansas on missions trips this summer, people who are planning and plotting to enter our home and finish my painting project and tackle the huge mommy-is-nesting list that I still had 6 weeks to complete, until last Sunday changed our lives and "our" plan. My family is in shock (I think I even heard a gasp) that I am going to allow someone else to paint in our living room.
Another quote from Shiela's book…more words I needed to hear today:
What if the brokeness we ask god to fix is in fact a gift? What if the wounds we beg god to heal, the burdens we plead with him to remove, are the very things that make us fit for his service? Can our brokeness be a blessing?
I, and the rest of the Troupe's can answer that question. We are living proof and can testify that brokeness can be a blessing. I am learning, actually just starting to learn how to let go and allow people to serve. I was told a few times this week that if do not allow people to serve us, I am denying them their blessing of using their gifts, talents and wealth. I would be a stumbling block and deny our church family the opportunity to be a family…families care for one another, meet each other's needs.
Enough about me…here is the prayer list for Isaac as you enter your weekend: Praise for his ventilator being removed today, praise that the fluid in his chest is looking better on his x-rays. Pray for restful, healing sleep. Pray for his repairs to his esophagus to heal without leaks…the plan is to introduce some fluids in his newly created esophagus early next week, pending his progress over the weekend.
THANK YOU to all of you have been praying! There is no earthly way we could feel the peace that we do as we sit by Isaac's side. There are literally people all over the world through your friends, our friends and the Facebook community of CHARGE Syndrome families who are praying this little guy out of this hospital.
You may share these prayer needs as you feel led by using the share buttons below. If you want updates you can subscribe to the blog by becoming part of Matthew's and now Isaac's prayer team. Don't worry about providing your email address…I had enough SPAM growing up…l would never send any unnecessary SPAM your way!
I would love to hear your comments about Lessons from Matthew as I am preparing my proposals for publishing!

How to Use the Records
To begin your search, it will be helpful to know the following:
- Name of the deceased
- The place where the death occurred
- The approximate death date
Search the Collection
To search the collection fill in the requested information in the boxes on the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the individuals in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to look at the information on several individuals comparing the information about them to your ancestors to make this determination. Keep in mind:
- There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
- You may not be sure of your own ancestor's name.
- Your ancestor may have used different names, or variations of their name, throughout their life.
- If your ancestor used an alias or a nickname, be sure to check for those alternate names.
- Even though these indexes are very accurate they may still contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned.
For tips about searching on-line collections see the on-line video at FamilySearch Search Tips.
Using the Information
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family. For example:
- Use the birth date or age along with the place of death to find the family in census records.
- Use the residence and names of the parents to locate church and land records.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- Occupations listed can lead you to other types of records such as employment or military records.
- The name of the undertaker or mortuary could lead you to funeral and cemetery records which often include the names and residences of other family members.
- Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname as the deceased; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
- Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have died in the same place or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
- The information in the records is usually reliable, but depends upon the reliability of the informant.
- Earlier records may not contain as much information as the records created after 1900.
- There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another record.
Unable to Find Your Ancestor?
- Check for variant spellings of the surnames.
- Check for a different index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby counties.
- One possibility why a person might not be found in the death records database is because there are missing certificates in this collection. The absent certificates are identified throughout the microfilm with a card stating the missing numbers. Since the actual certificates are absent from the microfilm they could not be indexed. Alternative indexes created by the Illinois State Archives could be helpful: 1916 and after www.ilsos.gov/isavital/idphdeathsrch.jsp or pre-1916 www.ilsos.gov/isavital/deathsrch.jsp. The pre-1916 index is a work in progress. Any certificate listed on these two sites can be ordered directly from Illinois Vital Records www.idph.state.il.us/vitalrecords/deathinfo.htm.
- Contact the Cook County Clerk's Office www.cookcountyclerk.com/vitalrecords/deathcertificates/Pages/default.aspx.
General Information About These Records
Early records were kept in register books beginning in 1877. By the early 1900s most events were recorded on pre-printed forms.
Legislation in 1819 required physicians to record births and deaths for their practices. Then, the physicians transmitted the information to their medical society which published the information in the newspapers. In 1843, a law was passed where relatives of a deceased person could appear before the clerk of the county commissioner's court and report information regarding the death. The recording of vital records was voluntary until 1877 so few births and deaths were recorded. A fire in 1871 destroyed the Cook County Courthouse and nearly all previous records housed there. The few existing originals that were created by the county clerk may be found in the county clerk's office or in one of the Illinois Regional Archives Depositories (IRAD).
In 1877, the State Board of Health was created to supervise registration of births and deaths. All births and deaths were to be reported to the county clerk by physicians. However, many were still not registered because the penalties for non-compliance were weak. In 1915, the state of Illinois gave the responsibility of recording births and deaths to local registrars who reported the information to the county clerk and the State Board of Health (now known as the Illinois Department of Public Health). By 1919, it is estimated that 95% of the population was recorded in the vital records.

text: NEW YORK ( LowCards.com) -- Twitter is entering the growing mobile e-commerce market by expanding its relationship with American Express ( AXP) in an offering that starts today. Amex Sync will allow American Express cardholders to make purchases on Twitter through tweets that include special hashtags. The first offer will be for discounted AmEx gift cards, but the program is to expand soon to include physical products from Amazon ( AMZN), Sony ( SNE) and Microsoft's ( MSFT) Xbox. E-commerce sales surpassed the $1 trillion mark last year for the first time, according to a report from eMarketer. Sales in 2012 increased 21.1% versus year-ago levels. Sync is another step by AmEx to merge its services into social networks and grow its share of the contactless payments market. American Express already had a relationship with Twitter, as well as FaceBook ( FB), Xbox Live and Foursquare ( FSQR), that allowed registered cardholders to get online discounts. But this new arrangement is the company's first step in enabling cardholders to actually buy products on a social network. To get started, cardmembers have to link their their eligible American Express cards to Twitter by going to sync.americanexpress.com/twitter and adding a billing and shipping address. Starting today, users can tweet #BuyAmexGiftCard25 to buy a $25 Amex gift card for $15. Users will get a confirmation tweet within 15 minutes; the user then tweets back to confirm the purchase. American Express says credit card information is not shared with Twitter or merchants.

GTA fans, do I have some amazing news for! Well not as great as the release of GTA V itself but something close to that!
The nominations for the Spike's VGA Most Anticipated Game of the Year ended on Friday and it turns out that GTA V is the winner out of Bioshock: Infinite, South Park: The Stick of Truth, The Last of Us, and Tomb Raider. Take-Two Interactive has also picked up seven awards at VGA 2012, but that is 1/4 of the total awards though. Just think of how big GTA V will be during it's release! Rockstar Games deserves all the credit its getting - even though they didn't appear at the VGA's themselves.
Cheers, Rockstar!
