Excellent sound for its size. SoundTouch app and presets are incredibly easy to use and set up. AirPlay support solves a lot of the potential problems of the app.
Extremely limited selection of music services available through SoundTouch app. Requires a USB connection to set up.
Bottom Line
As an AirPlay speaker, the Bose SoundTouch 20 is fantastic, but Bose's own SoundTouch app for multi-room audio is more limited. iOS users can rejoice, but Android users should be wary.
The six preset buttons on the SoundTouch 20 add a ton of convenience through the SoundTouch app. Whatever you're listening to, whether it's a playlist, a genre, an artist, or a single song from your music library or a Pandora or other Internet radio station, you can set it to one of those six buttons just by holding the button down on the radio, the remote, or the app. It can then access that station or (if your computer/storage is on) local music just by pressing the button.
These presets offers instant access to your favorite music without needing your smartphone, tablet, or computer on-hand. It's an incredibly handy and simple feature that combines the ideas of a multi-room audio system with a dedicated Internet radio device. Unfortunately, you can't set any of your favorite playlists from other streaming music services like Spotify if it's not available on the app.
Performance and Conclusions
For a relatively small, one-piece speaker system, the SoundTouch 20 puts out a remarkable amount of power. Our bass test track, The Knife's "Silent Shout," got downright rumbling at maximum volumes, shaking my skull with deep, powerful lows that never distorted. The bass doesn't quite reach wall-shaking lows, but you usually won't see that in any sound system without a separate (and larger) subwoofer. Even compared to the Bose SoundLink III and SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speakers with their excellent volume-to-size ratios, the SoundTouch 20 is impressively loud, and without a hint of distortion.
Considering its relatively small size (for a stationary, plugged-in speaker), the SoundTouch 20 delivers an impressive sonic presence that sounds very good across the frequency spectrum. MC Lars' "This Gigantic Robot Kills" balanced Lars' crisp vocals and the sharp ode-to-ska horns against the funky, rumbling bassline without making the former muddy or the latter indistinct. Miles Davis' "So What" also juggled the lows of the upright bass and the wide range of the piano notes without making either overshadow the other, though at higher volumes a little extra brightness shone through—the graininess of the old recording started to become overly prominent when it usually sits further in the background.
The Bose SoundTouch 20 takes an excellent speaker and adds an ambitious multi-room Wi-Fi system that offers a ton of convenience but not a lot of flexibility. Setup is a breeze, and you can turn your local music library into a custom jukebox with six presets you can access without picking up a smartphone or tablet. That said, the SoundTouch app currently supports few music services and can't play audio directly from a mobile device at all. The inclusion of AirPlay is the SoundTouch 20's saving grace for iOS users who want total control over what they use. It's a much tougher sell for Android users, but that could change as Bose adds more online services and features to its app.
If you're an Android user and want a multi-room sound system, the Sonos Play:1 is a less expensive and slightly more flexible starting point, albeit without AirPlay support. The Wren V5PF Play-Fi is another strong performer for Android users who want a multi-room speaker solution, but it has some awkward aspects in its own Wi-Fi implementation. The Pure Jongo S3 adds Bluetooth to its own Wi-Fi setup, but it simply doesn't sound as good as the Play:1 or anywhere near the SoundTouch 20. For iOS users or anyone who listens primarily to their own locally stored music, the SoundTouch 20 is a fantastic choice. If you can't enjoy AirPlay in addition to the SoundTouch app, though, the same aspects that make the speaker simple and convenient to use will prevent you from enjoying musical options outside of Pandora, Internet radio stations, or your own collection. For a more direct, flexible wireless audio experience without the ease of multi-room support, the Bose SoundLink III is an excellent Bluetooth speaker that offers battery-powered portability at the expense of some of the SoundTouch 20's volume.

Police and demonstrators clashed in Iran on Wednesday during street protests linked to rising prices and the plunging value of the national currency.
Police in black riot gear fired tear gas and moved to disperse the protesters after they had rallied outside the central bazaar in the capital Tehran and then marched toward the parliament building. Many businesses and shops were shuttered, leading to the effective shutdown of the huge marketplace.
"Our checks bounced, our businesses are ruined," said a merchant who gave his name as Ali. "How shall we earn a living?"
About 500 owners of apparel shops and other businesses joined in the march, expressing outrage about their inability to stay afloat as the national currency, the rial, seems to lose more value every day.
"I don't dare to sell" anything, said Hassan, 48, a cloth salesman who, like others, declined to give his full name, fearing retaliation. "I am scared I won't be able to replenish my shelves."
The protests were unusual in this tightly controlled society and seemed to be a spontaneous reaction to outrage about rising prices and the government's inability to halt the currency slide.
Worried Iranians have been buying up dollars and other foreign currencies, further depressing the value of the Iranian rial.
The merchants' decision to take to the streets appeared significant because the business class is often viewed as an ally of the status quo. Merchants from the main bazaar were regarded as major supporters of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The complaints voiced on Wednesday were not about Iran's lack of democracy but rather about what many viewed as the inept economic policies of the government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose second term ends next year. By law he cannot run again.
The protesters marched more than a mile from the bazaar to a popular junction known as the Istanbul intersection, near the Turkish and British embassies and close to parliament.
As they marched, they decried what they termed "inefficient government" and, in some cases, assailed Iranian rulers' determination to help the nation's close ally, Syrian President Bashar Assad.
"Leave out Syria!" some marchers chanted. "Think about us!"
Iran is believed to be providing huge subsidies to Syria in a bid to help keep Assad's government afloat amid an 18-month rebellion.
US and allied officials saw the clashes as evidence that the tough sanctions imposed this year by the West represent an increasing political threat to the Iranian government and called for a further tightening of the restrictions. The sanctions – aimed at Tehran's controversial nuclear program – have hurt Iran's ability to sell its major export, oil, reducing its export earnings.
The sanctions "are having a profound impact on the ground," said Victoria Nuland, a State Department spokeswoman.
At the centre of the protests was discontent with Iran's free-falling currency. The rial has lost as much as 80 per cent of its value against the US dollar in the last year, and its descent has accelerated at a record pace in recent days.
Mark Dubowitz, a sanctions expert at the Foundation for Defense of Democracy, said the rial's fall may be a sign that Iran doesn't have the foreign exchange reserves needed to prop up the currency, or at least can't access reserves that might be in accounts abroad that have been frozen by sanctions.
"You'd think that if the regime had sufficient reserves, and access to them, they could be intervening to prevent the rial from plummeting further," he said.
The poor and middle classes have been hit especially hard as prices of food and other necessities have risen rapidly.
At the Istanbul intersection, protesters arrived at the same time that police were raiding the shops and corner hangouts of many money changers. The operation was part of a crackdown on illegal sales of US dollars, which are growing in popularity as a hedge against the dwindling value of the rial. Authorities blame these transactions in part for the rial's declining value.
Police dressed in black with full riot gear fired tear gas to disperse the protesters, who set several garbage bins ablaze amid scattered clashes.
A day before the protests, Ahmadinejad had blamed the current crisis on the US-led sanctions and called for action against 22 "ringleaders" of the currency-exchange market. The president also said Iran was the victim of a "psychological war," an apparent reference to a widespread sense of economic panic.
Iranian leaders have vowed not to back down on their nuclear program despite the tough Western sanctions. Iran says its atomic program is meant for peaceful uses, including energy generation. Washington and its allies suspect that Tehran is intent on building an atom bomb.
Later in the day, some currency exchange dealers returned to their shops after closing amid the earlier chaos. Burned trash still filled the streets.

The rocker won't rule out that someday he would return to acting but added that it is now in the bottom of his list.
Jon Bon Jovi doubts he will ever act again because he doesn't find big screen stardom "appealing" any more. The Bon Jovi rocker has appeared in numerous movies including "Moonlight and Valentino" and "Pay It Forward", as well as high profile TV appearances in "Sex and the City" and "Ally McBeal".
Bon Jovi hasn't acted since 2006, and admits he has no plans to go back to it as he is so busy with his music and various charity projects. He tells Larry King, "(I) loved it. It adds a great humility to what I do musically, because I was able to continue in something in the arts with all the exuberance of youth and the experience of the music business, but truly on the bottom of the ladder..."
"Maybe some day again (I will act), but it's so far down the list of things to do these days, because the music has been so great, I've got other philanthropic actions and business stuff going on. So it's not that appealing."

hongkiat.com 3 Months old now
Hongkiat.com started off about 3 months ago and I'm proud to say it has now survived its 3rd month. Now, the rankings and traffics may not be somethimg impressive for some of you but I have confident to bring it further. Here's a look at the traffick ranking based on Alexa and Technorati.
Hongkiat.com's Alexa started off from 3,000,000++ and in 3 months time I've made quite a jump to 30,000+. Alexa calculates based on surfers with Alexa toolbar. Some may say Alexa metrics are not really accurate and often bias towards newstreams sites but the fact is who's to say which is the most accurate?
Technorati shows you how many website in the blogosphere is actually linking to you. I think I started off from 400,000 in Technorati; 3 months later Hongkiat.com is now at 8,000+.

text: I have a new 07 Mobius LS. When I first got it the brakes on the trailer were dragging. My wheels were very hot and you could smell brake lining. I took it in to the dealer and he sprayed something on the coupling. That worked great for a few weeks. Last night I was heading to the lake. I had gone a few miles when someone pulled up next to me and said one of my tires was just smoking! I pulled over and not only was the tire red hot, but there was black oil dripping all over everything. I slowly drove to a tire shop. The guy took one look at it and said the brake is not releasing and it got so hot that the seal has blown. All the black oil dripping all over the tire was the wheel bearing oil. Now I basically have no bearing lubrication. My question is what would be causing the brakes not to free up? Also, my trailer should be covered under warrantee (the boat is only a few months old). But how do I get it to the dealer who is about 30 miles away? I could lose the wheel by the time I got there?

Here are some recent Fallout Online forum posts by Chris Taylor.
It's too early to discuss specifics. We have some requirements in mind, but things can change.
Our goal isn't to require bleeding edge hardware. We'll require something more than chiseled rocks, and something less than what the NSA ordered last month.
Somehow, I don't think that was a very helpful post. Hopefully, it was moderately entertaining."
On not revealing more info about the game yet:
I've sat here for 10 minutes trying to write a nice, reasonable plea for patience but everything is coming out blah.
OP makes some good points. The first reason is a good one. We're still tweaking systems and until all systems are in and functioning, the likelihood of change is high. We do not want to over-promise and under-deliver. We don't like saying one thing and then turning around having having to say "whoops, sorry!" I mean we're good at our jobs, but we're not perfect and virtually every single system we work on will be tweaked to some degree or another.
Oh, and *beep* marketing. (*beep* could be "f-them" or it could be huggles. It really depends on my mood.)
But the point is understood."
While the SPECIAL system will be used, it is not a straight port from FO1/FO2. There are changes being made..."

- Description
Mathis MI-1000 Dual-Axis High-Res Encoders
These ring encoders provide .10 arc second resolution on each axis. They have typical error profiles of plus/minus 4 arc seconds over 360 degree (pointing error over the entire sky) and short term errors (tracking errors) of plus/minus .20 arc seconds. Even these small errors can be modeled and reduced. Using Renishaw encoders on each axis, the mount position is determined by these master encoders rather than the mount's drive gears and motor encoders. For use with the Servo II control.

A HUGE debate has been caused by an article calling Weymouth a 'graveyard of ambition.'
It says that 'beyond the beach, Weymouth is a place beset by low wages, lack of transport, isolation and poverty of aspiration.'
The words, published in the Observer, have divided the town, with some calling it 'nonsense' and others saying the area needs to face up to reality.
Article author Tracy McVeigh, who has received hate mail since publication, said the purpose of the article was not 'picking on Weymouth' but to prompt action for young people in the town and other coastal resorts.
She told the Echo: "Inner-city kids are doing better than kids in lovely coastal towns; that's something everybody needs to take on board.
"They are the generation that is going to keep the town going.
"We have to get behind young people and help them."
Although McVeigh said the level of hate mail was unnecessary, she said she is glad the article had caused a debate.
It was prompted by chief inspector of schools Sir Michael Wilshaw's comments that 'aspiration and achievement was now a major issue in seaside towns.'
McVeigh added: "Weymouth is a lovely place to visit and I am sure that is not affected (by the article) but there are people having a really hard time.
"It's nice that people care enough about the town to comment.
"The whole point of Sir Michael Wilshaw's comment on coastal towns was to start a debate- and it's exactly the sort of debate people should be having.
"Young people are having a really tough time. The public transport situation makes life incredibly difficult."
Weymouth and Portland Borough Council has waded in to defend the town.
Cllr Mike Byatt, brief holder for Corporate Affairs and Continuous Improvement, said: "Increasing economic prosperity and growth in Weymouth is a top priority for the borough council."
He added that 'inward investment opportunities', superfast broadband and reduced parking prices are making the town more attractive and the borough will host more than 260 events this year.
He said: "We appreciate there are a number of challenges ahead, but these challenges are not just unique to Weymouth.
"The town is in a much better position than many other high streets and seaside towns across the country, and we must seek to make the best use of what we have to offer such as the beach, harbour and stunning Jurassic Coast.
"We continue to work alongside our partners and key stakeholders in Weymouth such as the Weymouth BID, Chamber of Commerce, Local Enterprise Partnership, Weymouth College and Dorset County Council and many others to achieve this ambition.
"We are confident that a strategic approach will help secure a prosperous, enjoyable town that is a great place to live and work for all our residents, businesses and visitors."
RESIDENTS have taken to social media to air their views.
Joe Hunt said 'a small portion' of the article 'rings true BUT massively overlooks everything it has got going for it.'
Laura Culshaw said: "Weymouth is a buzzing hub of enterprise when you look closely but that article has barely scratched the surface! Very one-sided.
But others have agreed with aspects of what was written, with cllr Dan Brember saying: "Don't agree that Weymouth is a "graveyard of ambition" but, almost without exception, ambitions involve getting out."
He added later: "It's no easy reading, and is narrow in scope, but it's not inaccurate.
"Before May, we spoke to thousands of Weymouth residents and, overwhelmingly, that was what we heard on the doorstep from Portland to Littlemoor "Really encouraging to see business is on the up but that isn't being felt by the majority of residents."
One former resident wrote on the Echo website: "I'm glad that article has been written. Last year my family had the opportunity to move and people asked us why, and the story we tell is the same as the article. We have two children and faced with the reality of no work for them moving was a good option. As it has turned out we are so glad we moved and often comment on we wish we had done it years ago. Where we live now does not have the amazing beauty of the scenery of the coast line but has so much more to offer."

This article examines trends in Australian university staffing through an analysis of ten years' staff statistics, 1994-2003. An introduction which considers definitions, methodological issues, and overall changes in patterns of casualisation, sex and the distribution of academic and general ("non-academic") staff categories is followed by an examination of changes in participation of university staff by sex and by age. Although most of the focus in the discourse about university staffing concerns academic staff, these staff comprise only 42% - 43% of total university staffing in Australia. Therefore it is relevant to investigate changes which have occurred in the majority group of university staff. The characteristics of academic and general staff are quite different, so each category has been considered separately. In particular the progress of women in senior academic posts and in university management is considered, as are patterns of aging, particularly in academic fields of education.

I'll be flying into Bangkok in July/August and plan to head north to Khon Kaen. I would like to have a couple of days on the coast to acclimatise, can anyone suggest anywhere decent that isn't too far out the way? I would like chilled and cheap and I don't want to add too much time onto my journey north by heading too far down the coast.
I am aware it is rainy season, but I'm not worried about that!
Thanks in advance.

Eddy Coello was only in court for a few minutes today, but his appearance was an emotional one for the family of his wife, who he is accused of killing.
Tina Adovasio's former mother-in-law wept when Coello was brought out, handcuffed in an orange jumpsuit from the Department of Corrections. Another female family member yelled "Coward!" as he was escorted out of the courtroom.
Coello, an ex-New York City police officer, showed no emotion at the outburst, or any part of his brief appearance in Bronx County courthouse, where Coello's lawyer and a prosecutor and updated the judge on their progress of exchanging evidence and information, known in legal terms as discovery.
Judge Miriam Best set his next court appearance for Oct. 26.Coello, 38, is charged with second-degree murder. He is accused of killing Adovasio in the Bronx and dumping her badly-beaten body in the woods near the Mohansic Golf Course, off the Taconic State Parkway in Yorktown.
Adovasio, who lived in the Bronx, was divorcing Coello, who her family said had repeatedly abused her. Coello left the NYPD in 2000 while being investigated for domestic violence with another woman.Prosecutors have said physical evidence, surveillance video and Coello's own words would show that he strangled his wife late March 11 or early March 12, carried away her body and then dumped it in Yorktown.
Adovasio, 40, worked as a maternity nurse at Sound Shore Medical Center. She had four children, including a 5-year-old daughter with Coello. The girl is living with Adovasio's parents in Dutchess County. Her other children, ages 11, 15 and 16, are living with their father.

Published in 2013, this video uses narrated animation to explain practical lessons from economics as simply as possible. Some of the ideas are basic definitions, and some are proposals by the presenter, a successful investor. So the video discusses how a loan is a borrowing money from one's future self, how austerity drives down incomes, and how total spending involves both money and credit. The video has been endorsed by the Federal Reserve's Paul A. Volker, among others.
Various short video interviews, lecture extracts and opinion pieces by Brazil's former Minister for Strategic Affairs, formerly of Harvard Law School. Most are in English, though some are in Portuguese
Lecture given at the London School of Economics and Political Science, in May 2016, by the former Chief Economist and Head of Research at the IMF. Rajan "would like to see more coordination to reduce volatility and a more effective 'global safety net' to protect those most vulnerable. Emerging economies must be more involved in rethinking and reshaping the system." The whole video, including introductions, questions and vote of thanks, lasts one and a half hours. Dr Rajan's lecture lasts for fifty minutes.
Seventeen captured lectures from a course in Winter 2010, each an hour long. The course is based around the book The Evolution of Economic Thought, by Brue and Grant. The lectures are numbered but lack individual titles.
Seventeen lectures, each an hour long, from a course given in Fall 2010. The lectures do not have individual titles. The course was based on Frederic S. Mishkin, The Economics of Money, Banking, and Financial Markets, 10th edition.
A 40 minute talk from 'The Who and How of Monetary Policy' at the 2013 Warwick Economics Summit, captured in a video which includes, the speaker, slides, and shots of the audience. McMahon talks through four pieces of research related to monetary policy.
Inspired by the 2005 paper "Do Economists Recognize an Opportunity Cost When They See One?", this 3-minute video presents a simple problem of identifying opportunity cost, albeit one on which most PhD economists in a survey performed worse than chance. The presenter blogs and creates YouTube videos and books about mathematics, logic and game theory.
Two-minute animated video explaining Sustainable Economic Development Assessment (SEDA) scores. Along with the video, there are a few interactive multi-choice questions.
A four minute video, with sophisticated animation, explaining Hotelling's Model of Spatial Competition and using spatial competition as an example of a Nash Equilibrium. There is an 8-question multi-choice test to reinforce the lesson of the video. TED Ed is a non-profit organisation.
YouTube playlist of guest lectures, video recorded from 2012-14, on various political and economic topics. Includes Abhijit Banerjee on "Microfinance: After the Hype and the Crisis", Paul Sniderman on "The Elasticity of Preferences", and Christopher Caldwell on "Money, Migration, and the European Crisis".

The Games could create more than 150,000 new jobs, with many in the building trade, according to experts.
But skills shortages in the construction industry could pose a "significant problem", the government has been warned.
Construction shares jumped in London after the capital won the race to host the 2012 Olympiad.
The gainers included home-builder Persimmon, up 2.2%, Balfour Beatty, which added 5.2%, and Costain Group, which saw a 3.9% gain.
Billions of pounds will be spent preparing London for the Olympics, one of the world's biggest sporting events.
Large sums will be spent on building new sporting arenas, housing and travel links.
But the National Federation of Builders, which represents construction firms across the UK, said the government needed to tackle skills shortages urgently.
The federation's chief executive, Barry Stephens, said: "The risk is that we fail to get the necessary influx of new skills into the industry to cope with increased demand.
'We need more builders'
"The industry already needs an extra 430,000 new recruits over the next four years."
Sheila Hoile, of the industry skills council, CITB-Construction Skills, said: "The British construction industry is the best in the world."
She said: "Whether it is the workers in the industry or the quality of work they produce, we cannot be beaten.
"We now have a chance to prove this once again on a global stage."
"We will have the right people, with the right skills in the right place to meet the construction demands of the Olympics," she added.
The Olympic site is earmarked for the Thames Gateway, and there are plans to build 4,000 four-bedroom homes which will be used as an Olympic Village by competitors.
Dino Patel, of the London Housing Federation, described the Olympic decision as "a terrific boost for re-generation and development in the Thames Gateway and beyond".
London 'vision'
He said it "virtually guarantees better transport links and other infrastructure for the Gateway and brings the vision of a new city in east London one step closer to reality."
According to early estimates, £728m will be spent on land purchases and construction. Meanwhile, the Royal Institute of British Architects urged Britain to use the 2012 games as a "catalyst" for the regeneration of rundown areas of the capital.
London defeated Paris at the International Olympic Committee vote in Singapore, after bids from Moscow, New York and Madrid had been eliminated.
Paris had been favourites throughout the campaign.

Today is the last day of summer (officially), and I am resisting it with all my might. While I love the introduction of fall produce like apples and winter squash, I am a summer girl at heart and will dearly miss the warmth of summer, the abundance of fresh local produce, and just how vibrant my body feels through those sunny warm months.
I hesitated posting this recipe from LTEV today, thinking "who will want a fresh, raw tomato recipe at this time of year?"…
But, maybe you with me, kicking and screaming like a sullen toddler to let go of summer. And, maybe you still have some beautiful mellow yellow tomatoes at your markets – or in your garden (wink, wink: Heather). If so, this one's for you!
For these photos, I used this spectacular new pasta that I picked up at one of our local shops, Antony & Sons – King Soba Organic Black Rice Noodles. Let's ignore the dang rice and arsenic issue for now, because aren't these noodles funky-cool? They do lose a little of their color through boiling, becoming more of a purplish-grey rather than stark black. But, still unique and a fun switch-up!
In these photos I did add the sun-dried tomato option (see savvy subs note in the recipe). It adds great texture and flavor. Also note that this sauce converts beautifully into a fresh salsa – again, see my recipe notes below!
And, like most sauces, I can pretty much eat this off a spoon (or tortilla chips)! 🙂
Raw Yellow Tomato Sauce gluten-free, soy-free, oil-free option LINK to print/share
Recipe from Let Them Eat Vegan
This sauce is fresh and vibrant, and can be served tossed into your pasta of choice, or topped on a whole grain, or kept virtuous in its raw capacity to accompany raw noodles or toss into a raw salad. Yellow tomatoes are usually less acidic and a little sweeter than red, and as they are such a glorious color, make the ideal ingredient for this sauce. Plus, with the addition of extra garlic and some jalapeño peppers, this sauce quickly transforms into a salsa (see note)!
2 1/2 cups chopped yellow tomatoes (see note & directions)
1-2 medium/large cloves garlic, cut in half or quarters
1/2 cup green onions, sliced (green portion mostly)
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (optional, omit for oil-free version)
3/4 – 1 tsp sea salt (see note)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves (optional)
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves (tightly or loosely packed)
½ cup red bell pepper, diced (and reserved; see note for sun-dried tomato option)
In a bowl, gently squeeze the chopped tomatoes to remove most of their excess juice. It will help keep the sauce from being too thin and runny (remove as much as you can, but no need to fret or excessively squeeze to remove it all; some tomatoes are naturally juicier than others). Then transfer the tomatoes along with the remaining ingredients, starting with 3⁄4 teaspoon of salt, excluding the bell peppers and optional olive oil, to a food processor or blender, and pulse to partially break up the sauce. Add the peppers and pulse again, maintaining chunkier bits of peppers rather than pureeing. Add additional salt and pepper to taste . . . then serve as you wish, in pasta, on rice, drizzled on a wrap sandwich, and so on. (By the way, Brazil Nut Parm pretty darn good to top it off!) Serves 3-4.
Adult-Minded: To switch this into a salsa, add another clove of garlic (if you like), along with 1⁄2 to 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced, and 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice. Substitute cilantro for the parsley or basil, and you can add more green onions, if you like. When processing, keep much chunkier than you would for a sauce.
If This Apron Could Talk:
I like one average clove of garlic in this sauce. You can add more if you like, but keep in mind that too much garlic can overpower the other subtle flavors unless converting sauce to a salsa.
You may want less or more salt depending on how you use the sauce. If tossing with cooked pasta, you may need extra; however, if drizzling over rice or grains, it will taste stronger and so you may opt for less.
If serving this on cooked pasta, it helps to bring the sauce to room temperature (if previously refrigerated) just so you aren't tossing a very cold sauce into the pasta. Also, you can gently warm it by transferring the sauce to a covered container and letting sit in a few inches of hot water until it is has become warmed through.
Ingredients 411: At our local farmers' market in the summer, there is a stall with beautiful organic bell peppers, eggplant, and a variety of tomatoes. I tried a variety of yellow tomatoes one week, and it became a favorite. The Hugh's Beefsteak variety in particular is amazing in this sauce (and all on its own!), and the Lemon Boy variety is also quite lovely.
Savvy Subs and Adds: If you keep dehydrated/sundried tomatoes on hand (regular red tomato variety), try substituting about 1⁄3 cup, chopped, for the red bell pepper. It adds some umami flavor and 'meatiness' to the sauce.
How about you? Having a hard time letting go of summer, or do you absolutely love fall? Do you still have fresh tomatoes handy to make this sauce?

Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong could be under US criminal investigation, despite a claim that's not the case.
An American media report has contradicted a claim by Californian attorney Andre Birotte that his department had no plans to press charges against Armstrong.
America's ABC News has quoted an anonymous source as saying that Birotte does not speak for the federal government as a whole.
Birotte led a federal investigation into Armstrong that ended suddenly a year ago without any charges being laid.
''We made a decision on that case, I believe, a little over a year ago,'' he said.

The classics never die
Pac-Man, Super Mario Brtos. and other old video games are making a comeback in retro gaming
Caleb Frey - Apr 19, 2007
Video games have been a worldwide pastime for more than 20 years now, which would lead one to think that those gamers from yesteryear have moved on to more sophisticated electronics or hobbies.
Fortunately for the major video game makers, retro gaming is back in a big way, and there are many ways to recapture that thrill you first felt when you gobbled up those pesky blue ghosts in Pac-Man or finally finished Street Fighter II on only one quarter at the arcade.
As it turns out, many of us who grew up in the golden age of video gaming, mainly the mid 1980s and 1990s, have become fully functioning adults with real jobs and a lot less time to spend playing our Nintendo, or have we?
While newer video game consoles get released about once every three years replacing the older technology, each one seems to take a step backwards to fulfill the needs of the classic gamer.
On all three new consoles, the Microsoft XBOX 360, the Sony Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii, each company has implemented a function that allows gamers to buy their favorite games from previous consoles or older arcade machines for a nominal fee.
The games usually run from $5 to $10 a piece, depending on the game and the company, but they can be played easily on your fresh new XBOX 360, PS3 or Wii in addition to the myriad of games that come out monthly for each console.
While video game makers still take aim at younger children, many realize that the majority of their fan base is coming from people who grew up with the games and now have more income to spend on them - the same ones that grew up playing the classics such as Super Mario Bros. on the original Nintendo entertainment system.
Even an anonymous employee from a major video game retail chain said the average gamer is somewhere between 18-30.
St. Charles Parish gamer John Pabst can attest to that. While browsing for what's new at a local game shop, he passes the newer games by, seeming uninterested.
"It's always the same game no matter what buy. You shoot the bad guys and the sports games are the same every year, nothing really changes," Pabst said.
"Personally, I think you cant go wrong with one of the discs that has a few older games on it."
And he was right. He actually bought a copy Midway's Arcade Treasures for the original XBOX.
"What can I say, I love Defender," he said, referring to a 25-year-old arcade classic space jet shooting game included in the compilation he purchased.
While finding a working Nintendo that was released in 1985 may not be the easiest task, for a mere $5, owners of Nintendo's newest console, the Wii, can download the game to their console and enjoy the classic plumbers of Super Mario Bros. in all their glory.
Microsoft has a variety of classics on their Xbox Live Arcade Service, which many can be played online against a friend, or complete stranger - which turns your living room into a virtual arcade where you can set up the competitors and knock them down accordingly.
The service, which runs about $6 a month and then $5 to $10 per game, is worth it simply because you can play classics such as Ms. Pac-Man against a friend in Norway, or Street Fighter II against a guru in Japan.
The Playstation Network, which is free to play, also offers some classic hits and older Playstation games for download, but their service still has a lot of kinks to be worked out and pales in comparison to the service offered by Microsoft in that respect.
While the newest games such as Gears of War for the XBOX 360 or Virtua Fighter 5 on the PS3 look so realistic it's scary, the games of yesterday are coming back daily and they certainly serve a market - even if its a fresh faced gamer who wants to see where Mario got his roots, or a Dig-Dug junkie from back in the day who would like to play against someone thousands of miles away.

The so-called Team Britney is claimed to have confirmed reports claiming she is about to be featured on the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone magazine, saying she already shot her cover.
The team who works behind Britney Spears' official website has confirmed the circulating reports claiming the pop singer is about to be featured on the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone magazine. The so-called Team Britney confirmed in a blog post Monday evening, October 20 that the star has done photo shoot for the magazine.
"It's been a while since Britney's graced the covers of the glossies," Access Hollywood cited the team as writing. "But soon that will all change ... Britney shot her Rolling Stone cover yesterday." The team didn't give evidence of the shoot, but did reveal Britney "looked absolutely stunning." Rolling Stone magazine has not yet given comment on the report.
Britney herself had made several appearances on Rolling Stone. Back in 1998, she appeared in bra and panties for the magazine. The headline that accompanied her picture read, "Britney Spears: Inside the Heart, Mind & Bedroom Of a Teen Dream." Then again in 2003 she was featured on the magazine rocking an underwear. Her picture was put under the headline "Britney On Justin, That Kiss And Being Alone."
In recent news, Britney has confirmed on a half-minute commercial promo that she will mark her upcoming 27th birthday on December 2 in style by performing tracks from her upcoming album "Circus" at the Big Apple's Bryant Park, which then will be aired on ABC's "Good Morning America". She, in the meantime, is prepping for her upcoming world tour which is conducted to boost the sales of "Circus", which will be dropped right on her 27th birthday.

HP Forum Archive 05
[ Return to Index | Top of Index ]
I recently won (bad luck?) an auction on two HP41cv(s), the seller claims one works 100% and the other one dead. However, when I got them, one works partially and one doesn't at all due to battery terminal corrosion. I repaired the terminals and hard wire the PC board to the keyboard and both of them partially working, however, after a minute or two the display became auto flickers and it display Chinese characters even I cannot understand. So I searched the Forum for answers and resetting, shorting the battery terminals, shorting the whole pc board with tin foils, strangely, after shorting it with tin foils, both calculator will work longer, like two to ten minutes, I even can do a TVM with an ADVANTAGE module plugged in but only for a few minutes. I notice the Museum has a CD set which has a HP41c "service manual" is that similar to the 41cv ? Can anybody help ?play became auto
Dear Hugh,
I've been down this road, not very successfully, so here
is what I know so far.
I have the service manual, and yes, the service manual does also apply to the CVs, although more so if they are
Fullnuts (rectangular screens). However, I don't think the
manual will be very helpful in diagnosing the sort of problem you are describing, which I also have seen before.
On the other hand, the manual does provide schematics, if
you want to get that far into it, which I haven't yet.
It's really interesting that the units work longer after
you short the terminals. It's my personal suspicion that
this sort of problem is caused by a bad/old component, like
a capacitor. I don't have any evidence for this, except
that this is the only way I can think of to explain the
sort of behavior you are describing.
I don't know how much this helps, but please post if
you are able to make any progress.
Best regards,
Ion Abraham
Albuquerque, New Mexico
hugh; ditto on what steve says. plus - do the tin foil thing and let it sit for a week unpowered, then try it. the next step is to do it and wait about 6 months. also, thoes dozen or so tabs that connect to the bottom rear of the screen can come loose but still touch and look connected. they will give you conji if they are not soldered. gently pull on each to see if it is still tight. this dosn't sound like the answer but since you've got it wide open and it's easy, it's worth a try. good luck.
Thank Ion and Mr. Martinez,
I guess if the tin foil trick does not work next week - I'll have to wait 6 month by that time I'll brush up my chinese and talk to HP also.
I faintly remember when I first purchase a HP41cv 15 years or so ago, they always have reset problems. It might be the static memory they first designed has a discharge problem. Ion, if you can share the service manual, I can send you some money for deposit and later return your manual. Or if you can scan me a copy of the schematic and email me or put it on the website. There are hardly any components on the CPU circuit board. Are the components generally replacible ? Its such a shame that we are not able to fix it. By the way, I already replaced the two electrolytic capacitors. I also want to tell you that both calculators act similarly and thats so unusaual.
Hi Hugh
As you can se at the forum 4 april j have similar problems with my Cx. Mine was modified for higer speed.one extra capacitor and a reed relay. I removed the extra capacitor and the relay. The result was that the chinese sign changed and became stabile and faded out after a while.
Now to my question. You had TWO capacitors in the CPU.Is your cv modified too? or where is the second capacitor situated. And finally what is the walue of the resistor?
I don't think my cpu board was modified. The two capacitors are 470 uf, 100 uf. They are mounted hanging out the circuit board where the pc board was notched out to accommadate the components. Mine 41cv(s) are identical and displayed the same problem. Mr. Ion Abraham furnished me with a HP41c service manual and now I may be able to identify the problem.
You may find a version of the 41C Schematic at Warren Furlow's excellent web site:
Look for "Reference" and then "Hardware," towards the top of the page.
Or, more specifically, try this link (but don't forget to check out the rest of the site)...
Many thanks to Warren Furlow for creating this site, and to Reinhard Breuer for re-drawing the Schematic

About Joshua
Ever since my mother won a computer at a company raffle when I was 6, I've been hooked. Nothing excites me more than new technology and I'm always the first to dissect and figure it out. From building my own PCs from parts at the LA Computer Fair in Pomona to my first PowerBook when I was 15, I've always loved computers.
My first job tutoring was for community service during high school. I first assisted and then became a teacher at a beginners computer course for the elderly and those with English as a second language. There I taught the basics of computing (using a mouse, file systems, etc.) and went on to teach Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. I've managed a law firm's computer network and integrated Macs into a predominantly PC environment. I've also held weekly classes for a retirement community focusing on doing more with their Macs. They learned things such as how to import and edit photos with iPhoto from a digital camera, how to set up Email, and much more. It was extremely fulfilling and I loved passing on my knowledge.
Now I work on-call and travel to client's homes or businesses to "fix" their computers while teaching them how to fix it themselves in the future. I also will routinely take computers home to repair hardware issues such as broken screens or trackpads. I genuinely want you to learn how to make the most out of your technology and I always aim to make you self-sufficient.
