Knitting and crocheting eco-friendly projects can be a great way to add to your home. You can recycle yarn by unraveling a completed project and reusing the yarn for something new. Got a sweater you never wear? Use the yarn to create a shrug, a bag or even as part of an afghan. By recycling yarn, you're saving on new manufactured yarn. Natural fibers are also a way to go eco-friendly. Cotton and linen make great washcloths and fashion accessories. Wool is super for socks and winter accessories like hats and scarves. You could dye your own yarn. Usually this works best with natural fibers. ... (Read More ...)
This week I picked up an unfinished pair of socks. Actually, the first one. This past spring I started making a pair of acrylic socks, mostly to see how they knit up and wore. Then I got sidetracked with other projects and didn't get back to knitting. Knitting is a great stress reliever, and very soothing to the soul. I hadn't replaced my knitting with a similar activity, and this week realized how much I missed it. So what is the pattern? Well, it's my own pattern. I love the way a 1×1 ribbing cradles my foot. So I decided to knit the whole sock except the heel... (Read More ...)
The first knitted dishcloth patterns I created were when caring for my mother Clara. She liked cotton knit or crochet dishcloths, because they fit her hands better than woven ones. And the handmade ones also absorb water better. A couple of years ago I made one for Valentine's Day, and last year submitted it to the 2015 Day by Day Knitting Calendar. It along with my mitten Christmas tree ornament pattern were accepted. My writing knitting patterns started when my life was out of balance. While considered part time, my position was 24/7 when my partner was off. Most of the time, I covered... (Read More ...)

Knitting Podcasts: What Knitting Sock Patterns Work Best For Caregivers? Caregivers are often stressed and have many interruptions, often unexpectedly.

Especially when coming back to it and forgetting where you are in the pattern! I know this from experience, and designed my "Carer Sock" pattern especially for caregivers.

Recently I started with making knitted baby booties for a friend. After making several, I decided the gift needed something more. So I made hats to match. Then I decided to make a sweater, matching the garter stitch Baby Jane style booties. I like Elizabeth Zimmermann's Baby Surprise Jacket. It's knit all in one piece, and ends up being folded much like origami before sewing the shoulder seams. For this one, I added a hood and applied I-cord trim.

Sometimes it's fun to combine crafts. And St Patrick Day crafts are an opporunity to conmbine them for a holiday. One easy way to is to make a bouquet of shamrocks. They can easily be made by knitting or crocheting the shamrocks and putting them in a woven paper basket. It's a fun project to do with kids or someone who isn't as crafty as you, they can often help or make the woven baskets.

Turandot Trailer (2013)
21 January 2013 Music 124 mins
Puccini s last and unfinished opera tells the tale of Turandot, the cruel daughter of the Chinese emperor, who demands that her suitors correctly answer three riddles. If they fail they are beheaded. Turandot does this in memory of a female ancestor who was brutally ravished and murdered by a marauding prince. Many have failed her test, the latest being the Prince of Persia who will be executed at moonrise. Watching is Calaf, son of the King of Tartary, who on seeing Turandot is captivated by her beauty and he takes up the challenge. With Rosario La Spina cast as Calaf, Susan Foster as the icy princess and Hyeseoung Kwon as the loyal slave girl Liù, the singing throughout is superlative. The choreography and direction of Graeme Murphy is visionary, add the set and costume designs of Kristian Fredrikson, and the lighting of John Drummond Montgomery and this production is glorious in its beauty.

MADRID, Spain – Tehran recently suggested it was ready to discuss a partial suspension of uranium enrichment but the West rejected the overture and Iran has withdrawn its offer to break the nuclear impasse, diplomats said Wednesday
With both sides now back to their hardline positions, talks Thursday between ranking Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani and Javier Solana, the EU's senior foreign policy representative, are unlikely to make substantial headway, the diplomats told The Associated Press.
Before the talks both Iran and the United States stuck to their guns.
"Suspension is not the right solution for solving Iran's nuclear issue," the Iranian state news agency quoted Larijani as saying before leaving for Spain. Later, on arrival in Madrid, he obliquely blamed the U.S. and its Western allies for their insistence that Tehran fully freeze enrichment, referring to "some mischievous moves by some countries."
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in turn said the world should not soften demands that Iran halt all disputed nuclear work.
"That would be a very big mistake," Rice said of the notion, gaining steam in Europe, that the five permanent Security Council nations plus Germany — the powers in the forefront of trying to engage Iran — should drop their condition that Iran fully suspend enrichment as a precondition to talks starting on a package of incentives.
At their previous talks last month in Ankara, Turkey, both Larijani and Solana spoke of progress and agreed to meet again to try to bridge the divide between Iran's insistence that it has the right to develop an enrichment program and U.N. Security Council demands that it freeze such activities.
Diplomats familiar with the issue said that at least part of the optimism was based on Iran's apparent readiness to discuss a partial and temporary suspension of its enrichment activities.
Iran was ready to stop some — but not all — of its centrifuge machines, which can enrich uranium both to the low level used to generate power and to high-grade material used in the fissile core of nuclear warheads, said one of the diplomats, who demanded anonymity for revealing confidential information. But continued insistence from the U.S. and key Security Council allies Britain and France that Tehran fully suspend its program doomed the chances of agreement.
"It was clear that those on the Western side did not accept any centrifuges (running) at all," said the diplomat. "As a result, the Iranians have gone completely hardline."
Diplomats said evidence of that surfaced at a meeting Friday in Brussels between Larijani's deputy, Javed Vaidi, and senior civil servants of Britain, France and Germany who report directly to their foreign ministers. Also present was a senior Solana aide.
"It was a disaster," said one of the diplomats, saying the two sides parted with no signs of progress on the issue.
Although Iran insists it has the right to the technology to generate nuclear power, it has been hit with two sets of U.N. sanctions because of suspicions bred by nearly two decades of Tehran's clandestine nuclear activities, including questionable black-market acquisitions of equipment and blueprints that appear linked to weapons plans.
Iran's ultimate stated goal is running 54,000 centrifuges to churn out enriched uranium. That would be enough for dozens of nuclear warheads a year.
The issue gained in importance last week, when ElBaradei sent a report to the Security Council that says Iran has expanded its enrichment activities instead of freezing them — a finding that could act as a trigger for a third set of sanctions.
Diplomats and European and U.S. officials suggested Iran had been hoping the international community would accept a compromise based on a Swiss proposal. Under that confidential plan, shared with the AP, both Tehran and the Security Council would have accepted a "double time out" — no expanded work on enrichment in exchange for a pledge to desist from new U.N. sanctions in parallel with attempts to resume formal talks on the nuclear standoff.
On Wednesday, however, a European official described the so-called "Swiss Plan" as "run aground," while a U.S. official said the proposal was "not very active."
A strong U.S. naval presence in the Gulf and Tehran's decision to charge three Iranian-Americans with endangering national security and espionage have not helped ease tensions.
Still, both the U.S. and the European officials expressed the hope that the Madrid meeting would benefit from the positive atmosphere generated by Monday's Iran-U.S. talks — despite that meeting's tight focus on Iraq.

We love the iPad because it's probably the most versatile gadget we own. And for many, it has become a required item for every flight. After flying with the iPad for more than six years, we've also learned that it's also extremely reliable, provided you follow a few important preflight steps. Ultimately, as long as you have a fully-charged battery and current charts downloaded in your app, the odds of the iPad failing in flight is extremely low. There is one thing though that will get your every time if you're not careful, and that's the potential for overheating.
Apple lists the normal temperature operating range for the iPad as 32° – 95° F. While using the device below the freezing point may cause the screen to lag a bit, it will still function. However, if you're using the iPad at the other temperature extreme, it will eventually resort to a thermal protection mode and become completely unusable until the internal temperature of the device is reduced. The primary reason for this is to protect the internal lithium-polymer battery (bad things can happen if they get too hot).
There are a couple of ways on a typical flight that this can happen and both will catch you off guard if you're not paying attention. The first scenario can happen when you're flying in a low-wing airplane en route at altitude with the iPad secured in a kneeboard on your lap. You're in VFR conditions in sunny weather, but the iPad is out of direct sunlight. Then you make a turn over a waypoint, and the sun begins to shine directly on your iPad's dark screen without you noticing. Even though the ambient temperature may be well below the 95° F limit, the iPad's internal temperature will quickly elevate and soon display the overheat warning.
The other likely scenario in which your iPad can unexpectedly overheat is after shutting the engine down on the ramp on a hot summer day. Prior to the iPad, many pilots would throw their paper charts or kneeboard on the glareshield to get them out of the way. New iPad useres might inadvertently do the same thing out of habit. As we all know, the temperature inside the cabin will quickly rise after you shut the door, again putting the iPad in a vulnerable state for potential overheating. Make it a habit to take your iPad with you after shutdown, or store it in a protected part of the airplane to ensure a timely departure when you return to the airplane.
Your iPad becomes completely unusable when it overheats and will display a temperature warning on the screen. At this point, your only option is to get it to a cooler environment and lower the internal temperature. Remove it from direct sunlight and aim a few air vents over if possible. If you had it in a kneeboard or case, remove these to aid the cooling process. Once the iPad's temperature lowers it will automatically switch back on–there's nothing else for you to do at that point, except to keep it out of the sun.
If you fly an airplane that has large windows and lets in a good deal of sunlight to the cabin, your best bet is to consider a yoke or suction cup RAM mount. These provide plenty of flexibility to pivot the iPad screen away from direct sunlight, and expose more of the front and rear surfaces of the iPad to ambient air for continuous cooling.
07/27/16 UPDATE: There's a new iPad cooling case available that incorporates active cooling fans. Learn more about the X-Naut Active Cooling Mount in our product review.

New Research Attempts to Quantify the Health Impacts of Design and Nature
Jared Green attended the recent Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA) conference in New Orleans, where he attended a presentation by William Sullivan, ASLA, a landscape architecture professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Green shares insights into Sullivan's presentation, which introduced the possibility of a future where designers "have guidelines that explain the best ways to reap the positive effects of nature."
Sullivan's presentation detailed current research studying the possible health benefits of the following design scenarios:
- How much stress can be recovered through views of green streets?
- What is the connection between high school landscapes and academic performance?
- How does rain activity respond to images of nature?
- "Do the most ecologically-healthy landscapes result in the healthiest people?"

Jogging stroller Given the preoccupation today with smog, global warming and America's dependence on international sources of oil, it's actually shocking to learn that as long ago as 1992 a car that got 100 miles to the gallon was built by General Motors. Car wrap Melbourne Yet another car, the GM TPC, which looked a lot like the Geo Metro, weighed only 1000 pounds and could easily get 75 miles per gallon. However, to be able to meet American safety regulations, the 3-cylinder vehicle required reinforcement weighing 200 pounds, which resulted in further development being discarded.
It was in no way the only protype developed by GM which ended up on the scrapheap. A few of these were the 1982 GM Lean Machine which did 80 miles per gallon, and the GM Ultralite which did 100 mpg. GM had been offering cars to the shopping public in 1992 that did 20 mpg, while Honda was getting 50 mpg with their Civic VX, but right then GM already covertly had cars doing 100 miles per gallon. Bob stroller Given that cars have already been built that get 100 miles per gallon, then why are they not being offered to the general public?
Another perplexing thing is that many companies, while selling fuel-eficient vehicles in foreign countries, are selling traditional gas guzzlers in the US. Best running stroller Buyers in Japan and Europe have for many years now had the opportunity to get cars that do 70 miles per gallon and more. A case in point of a car never marketed within the US and capable of 78 mpg, is the Lupo by Volkswagen. In 2007, Honda in the united states released the FIT, elsewhere known as the Jazz. You will find economy-boosting selections with the Jazz in Japan, such as a smaller engine and other ways to reduce consumption, but not so with the Fit in the US.
Auto manufacturers in America tell their public that they make big autos because they, the public, love big autos. Needless to say they generate big money on SUVs, and practically nothing on a small two-person commuter. Commercials have convinced the citizens of the US that Tanks on Wheels are an absolute must to have. It is quite apparent where the large companies' interests lay when you consider that they have never offered options. Rather than being associated with SUVs, GM today could have been recognized as a leader in fuel-economic vehicles. Many other manufacturers also have developed fuel-efficient cars, but they've all done the same as GM by not offering them to Americans.
We live in a world that has waged wars over oil, that has been polluted, and car makers have never even given the choice to people in this country of fuel-efficient cars. Consider how many people who were never given the choice would have been overjoyed to have a car that was fuel-efficient? Could it be time to recover those abandoned designs and, again, start building those vehicles that were once built a long time ago?

David is a stuttering, rambling man having suffer a complete breakdown as
young man. However when he was a child his skills on the piano were
unmatched. Driven by his father, opportunities open up in front of him to
go abroad to learn, but his father denies him the chance. He leaves for
London where he drives himself to the point of exhaustion before coming
home to find his father has disowned him.
It took me years to finally watch this film. I was still in Northern Ireland when it came out in the cinema and such films were not permitted to cross our borders, lest they keep the latest action movies from our 1 or 2 screen cinemas! So away from the hype and the Oscar hoopla I sat to watch this film and found myself easily taken in by it. The story is the true story of David Helfgott who was a boy genius before his breakdown. The film starts with him as an adult then jumps back to see him as a child. This approach works well to allow us to see the `end result' as it were, before we see what would be considered the causation factors. These factors are a little heart breaking to watch but they are very well delivered. As an adult, David is comic, warming and tragic. The pain in his life is brought out very well.
A great deal of the praise for this must lie with the wonderful cast. Rush got his Oscar of course and I'll leave it to the users on the message boards to argue over whether or not you can be the lead actor with screen time of less than half the film! He is great, walking a difficult line with a `disabled' character but managing not to just make it a caricature at any point. David as a child is very well played by Rafalowicz and does more of the development work than Rush and hence gets less credit than he deserves for making us care for the adult David. Mueller-Stahl is as good as he can be and gives a great performance, the only downside being that he doesn't age a single day between the adult and child sections of the story - surely some makeup could have been used?
Overall this is a very enjoyable human story that is driven by several really strong performances in key roles. The story keeps it's tone light but yet still manages to be dramatic and, in some scenes far too touching to avoid being slightly moved. The music is beautiful when it is called on to be and dramatic at other times - the director does very well to make the intense music translate into intense scenes in the film. Overall a simple story of a man but one that is interesting and a lot more moving that I expected it to be.
This movie is definitely in my top five favorite movies of all time. It is unbelievably brilliant. Geoffrey Rush, dare I say, is perhaps the greatest actor of modern times. His performance alone is worth watching, let alone the outstanding supporting cast! Definitely not in typical Hollywood fashion, the movie is a truly great indie film. A must see for music lovers and indie film lovers alike.
This is a good film in every sense but will mean most to fathers with
views :).
The story of a brilliant young pianist whose relationship with his father drives him to some sort of mental illness. Watchable, absorbing, brilliantly edited, deeply seriously moving, one of the rare films that pays attention to incidental sound. Wonderful direction and acting. This is a seriously good film.
I don't now why but when I first viewed this a few years back I did not care for it, but after watching it again I was very impressed. Maybe because I have grown more of an appreciation for classical music in that timeframe. I really don't understand how I could have missed the outstanding portrayal of the nuturing/stultifying father-son relationship, or the moving way that David can only express himself via the piano (notice how he speaks in virtually only apothems). This is a very great film.
This was a very interesting movie and pleasant surprise, although
sometimes that theme of the obsessive parent driving a kid crazy gets
overworked. Nonetheless, it's a very well-made movie.
Geoffrey Rush is fascinating in the lead role as "David Helfgott." However, I would give equal kudos to Noah Taylor, who played Helfgott as a teenager, and to Armin Mueller-Stahl, who was Helfgott's father. They were just as impressive as Rush.
This is a supposedly true-life story of child prodigy piano player from Australia. As you can imagine, the music in here is excellent. Even better is the cinematography. Wow, this looks and sounds fantastic on DVD.
Although not always pleasant to watch, the story is riveting; hard to put down once you've started watching. The ending turned me off a bit with the overt plug for astrology, but is a happy one for all parties and at least leaves the viewer feeling satisfied.
In all, a very intense, beautifully-photographed biography.
SHINE (1996) **** Geoffrey Rush, Noah Taylor, Alex Rafalowicz, Armin Mueller Stahl, Lynn Redgrave, Sir John Gielgud, Googie Withers. Excellent Oscar nominated bio pic about acclaimed Australian pianist virtuoso David Helfgott (played equally brilliant by Rush {deservingly winning the Oscar as Best Actor} as an adult, Taylor as a young man and Rafalowicz as the child prodigy) who suffered mental anguish thru his art largely due to his overbearing father (Mueller Stahl, Best Supporting Actor nominee, in a demanding yet effective role) that led to his nervous breakdown that nearly destroyed him. Poignant and beautifully directed by newcomer Scott Hicks (Best Director nominee), the film never panders, preaches or offers any simple answers yet does depict mental illness earnestly with devestating clarity. Rush gives a bravura performance that deserves a standing ovation. Best sequence: the lead-in to Helfgott's crash as he attempts the monumental musical challenge, Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #3, or notoriously known as "The Rach 3".
"Shine" purports to tell the story of David Helfgott (Geoffrey Rush,
who plays the adult Helfgott), a promising pianist who overcame mental
illness, with the help of his wife, and returned to performing.
The 1996 film is actually a fictionalized version of Helfgott's life - but even had it not been based on a true story, it remains a powerful, intriguing film.
David is the child of German émigrés who now live in Australia. His father Peter (Armin Mueller-Stahl) is a self-taught pianist who teaches David his same love of piano and classical music. There is love there, but as portrayed in the movie, Peter is a rigid man who gives his son mixed signals. He drives his son to succeed as a pianist, teaching him that winning is everything, and yet, when David has opportunities that would take him away from the family, Peter won't permit it. The reason for this is that Peter and his wife lost relatives in the Holocaust. Peter is also given to physical abuse toward David when he loses his temper.
David finally gets away from him and attends the Royal Conservatory in London, where, with the help of his teacher (John Gielgud), he wins an important competition but then suffers a severe nervous breakdown. The rest of the movie deals with the road back, which leads him home to Australia and to his wife, Gillian. Gillian is actually his second wife, though the first marriage isn't mentioned in the film.
The dominant performances belong to Rush and Mueller-Stahl. Rush does a brilliant job of showing us the likable but stuttering David who speaks rapidly and repetitively, expressing himself through music. Mueller-Stahl as the tortured Peter is fabulous, a man who is both monstrous and pitiable. In a small role, John Gielgud of course makes a fine impression as an elderly teacher, a wonderful pianist himself, who believes in David's talent.
The best scene is David playing Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #3 - Helfgott's own recording of the piece is used - and the aftermath. What I missed in this film is music - there was a lot of talk about David's promise, but until the Rachmaninoff not much playing.
Helfgott's work today has been deeply criticized for being - well, lousy. A review in The New York Times of one of his concerts is horrible. The reviewer, however, mentions that Helfgott occasionally showed vestiges of excellent technique. I think it's safe to assume that his playing nowadays is more erratic than it was in his earlier years. There are several examples of Helfgott's playing in the movie: "La Campanella," "Hungarian Rhapsody No 2 In C Sharp Minor," "Flight of the Bumble Bee," Rachmaninoff's "Prelude In C Sharp Minor, Opus 3, No. 2," the previously mentioned Rachmaninoff 3, and Liszt's "Sospiro," and it is all quite stunning. Rush does the fingerings himself. One of the comments also claims that Helfgott's wife has Helfgott perform on no medication so that he'll seem crazy - it's common for performers on medication for mental problems to have to cycle off of it before performing. I don't think the commenter has any idea what Helfgot is like on his medication - certainly in the film, he acts strangely.
"Shine" is highly recommended for its fantastic performances, beautiful music, and its inspiring story.
When I originally saw this film in the mid-90's, I was absolutely devastated
throughout the first forty-five minutes. So much so, I was pretty much
uncontrollably weeping, much to the chagrin of the friend I went with. Time
has softened the film a lot for me, but it still remains a powerful, tender
and somewhat inspirational film about a piano prodigy who has led a pretty
tragic life. Geoffrey Rush is unbelievable as the piano prodigy David
Helfgott, and although the film is kind of sewn up a little quickly with the
Vanessa Redgrave subplot (what about Helfgott made her so in love with him
in a short period of time as to want to marry him?) it is a very well done
film that I highly recommend to just about anyone, but especially musicians
and music lovers.
"Shine" is one of the great movies of the '90's, that became an
unexpected success in 1996 and was the movie that earned Geoffrey Rush
his as of yet only Oscar win and got the movie 6 more Oscar
nominations, including best director and best picture.
The movie shows how Australian born David Helfgott gets formed and influenced in his early life by his demanding and abusive father (wonderfuly played by Armin Mueller-Stahl), who is in strict control of the family. He asks a lot from the already very unstable David and influences ever step in his life, probably also to make up for his own shortcomings in life. He's an unpredictable character with two faces and you can really feel the fear he puts in the family and David in particular. Things go worse and worse mentally for David as he grows up and eventually goes to study in England at the Royal College of Music. He has a breakdown which for once and for all definitely labels him as a psychotic man. His personality could definitely been described as crazy.
He gets perfectly and beautifully portrayed by Geoffrey Rush, who truly deserved the Oscar he received for his role. But in fact he is only in the movie for perhaps halve the running time. For "Shine" uses lots of flashbacks about Helfgott's early life and as a young adult, when he is being played by different actors. One of those actors is the know very well known Noah Taylor, who also plays the part fine. Also really impressive is Armin Mueller-Stahl. He doesn't usually have very big parts in English spoken movies but in this movie he plays one of his bigger and more interesting roles. It's a true memorable performance from him and he also truly deserved his Oscar nomination for this movie. I keep thinking it's a great shame he got discovered so late by the big-money movie industry, since he is already close to 80 by now, which should mean that his biggest and greatest roles should already be behind him by now. But who knows, some actors just go on forever, till a very old age. Take for instance John Gielgud, who also stars in this movie. At the time he was already well over 90 years old and he would continue to play on in many more great and big productions, till his death in 2000. Some actors are just truly born as actors. It simply is in their blood and they can't stop playing.
Moments in Helfgott's life are never portrayed too long but also never too short. This means that the story always comes right to the point and doesn't dance around it. The movie becomes very effective because of this and on top of that gets presented with a good steady pace. It's a reason why this movie is really one of the better autobiographic movies ever made. It's a really great directed and told movie, from Scott Hicks.
But of course like every good biopic, the movie doesn't only presents facts and some things are altered, in order to enhance the movie and its story or characters. For instance right after this movie the real Helfgott became a true full God, while in all honesty David Helfgott is a great piano player but just not the genius one as portrayed in this movie. It's kind of like the piano man. The mysterious mute man who was found in Kent England in 2005. It was said he was a brilliant piano player, while in fact he just simply knew how to play a piano well but was by no means a great or professional player. Just like David Helfgott, it are just the unusual circumstances and character personalities that makes people say they are geniuses, rather than it's an objective reflection of their actual qualities. But like I said, this isn't anything unusual to do for a biopic, to play around a little with the facts and it certainly is no objection when it actually enhances the movie. "Shine" truly benefits from its approach and story.
I also enjoyed David Hirschfelder nice little musical score (also Oscar-nominated). Of course the movie also benefits from it's classical compositions that are being featured. It's of course a very musical movie, since it's about the life of a musician but you really don't need a classic musical lover to enjoy or to appreciate this movie though.
The movie ends quite abrupt and perhaps not satisfying enough but this is of course simply due to the fact that David Helfgot is still alive and active today. Who knows, perhaps they could had better waited for another 30 years to come up with a movie about his life, for who knows what more strange and beautiful moments his life shall know.
Perhaps it's not the most stylish or greatest made movie but the combination of the interesting unique story, pace and main character (and of course Geoffrey Rush his performance of him) are what makes this movie such a basically flawless (you simply just forgive the movie for its flaws and shortcomings while you're watching it) and captivating one to watch.
"Shine" is a pure joy to behold. Produced in Australia, it tells the true story of piano prodigy David Helfgott. Helfgott suffered a major nervous breakdown on the threshold of an imminently great career. The story shows him through a psychologically trying childhood, to his teenage years when he perfected his skills, to a stay in a mental asylum, and his subsequent return to stardom. Noah Taylor and Geoffrey Rush (in a well-deserved Oscar-winning turn) played Helfgott during his teenage and adult years. Armin Mueller-Stahl is also excellent as the abusive father (in an Oscar-nominated performance). However, the film stalls on several occasions. This is bad considering that the film is only 1 hour and 45 minutes long. Lynn Redgrave's role is terrible, she is totally wrong for this film. "Shine" is a prime example of a near miss. The film is very good in almost all aspects, but these problems keep "Shine" from being the masterpiece it should have been. 4 out of 5 stars.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by bcltoys, Oct 14, 2010.
Can a factory reset be done after root.
Yes, but as you'll be "resetting" the phone you will lose root.
Does that mean to unroot we can just factory reset and not have to go through the unrooting steps if we need to send our phone in for repair?
No, that is not correct. A factory reset clears user data and settings, including things like your google login, contacts, and downloaded "market" apps. It does not alter the system software (including preinstalled apps), however. There is no way that it can turn one ROM into a different ROM.
No. See above - you need to return the phone to the stock system software, recovery boot, and bootloader (in some cases).
bcltoys - the "factory reset" which occurs on a rooted phone is similar to what happens on a stock phone, in the sense that it clears settings and data back to a blank slate, but it leaves the system software and preinstalled apps untouched - kind of as if you had just installed the same ROM. The other thing which does not happen with a phone that has a custom recovery installed is that the phone activation also does not get cleared.
Well i wanted to do the reset to see if it would bring back my signal bars but it did not I know to look in settings for my rssi but not having the bars is annoying.
Hi bcltoys. Please read ErisUser1's post to you carefully; that's the straight scoop on what needs to be done.
As far as the signal bars, are you experiencing poor signal with calls, etc, or are you just not seeing bars there even though the phone is working fine? Going through unrooting and then a factory data reset just to avoid an annoyance is a choice you may make, but I would not.
The signal bar display may or may not improve with a reset, we're seen varying reports on success with that.
If it's poor call quality (dropped or missed calls, etc) then the reset is still an iffy attempted remedy, but I'd do it in that situation just to be sure.
Be sure to look at:
and then, once back to stock, go to menu > settings > privacy > factory data reset.
Good luck!

China takes credit for rescuing ship in Gulf of Aden, silent on Indian Navy's role.
China on Monday blanked out the Indian Navy's role in rescuing a ship belonging to the island nation of Tuvalu in the Gulf of Aden on Sunday, saying it was an operation carried out by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy.
Sharing sketchy details about the operation, the ministry of foreign affairs (MFA) said the Chinese navy operating in the region received a call about a ship hijack, set off immediately, and rescued the ship and the personnel aboard after an operation that lasted for a few hours. But there was no mention about the role of the Indian navy in the entire operation.
Warships from India, China and Pakistan operated jointly in the Gulf of Aden to rescue a merchant vessel attacked by Somali pirates on Saturday night.
The blanking out of Indian navy's role comes at a time when the two countries are locked in a war of words on the visit of Tibetan leader 14th Dalai Lama to Arunachal Pradesh, a state that China says is part of south Tibet.
When specifically asked about the Indian Navy's role in the operation, MFA spokesperson Hua Chunying said she didn't have more details to share.
"I have already given whatever I have learnt to you. The Chinese convoy received a report from the UKMTO (United Kingdom Marine Trade Operation) and conducted the rescue operation. Without regard to details, I point you to the defence ministry," she said.
If Indian Navy helicopters provided cover, Hua didn't mention it, choosing instead only to say the operation was carried out under the cover of "our" helicopters.
"The Chinese side is always positive towards international cooperation. This position is very clear," Hua said.
She added the rescue operation "demonstrated the effectiveness of the Chinese naval forces".
Several Indian media outlets carried the report on the joint operations carried out by the India and Chinese navies.
But a report by the official news agency, Xinhua, early on Monday had no mention of the Indian navy's role.
"The convoy fleet sent by the PLA Navy Tuvaluan ship hijacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden on Sunday local time," the Xinhua report said.
It added: "The navy said in a statement that its 25th convoy fleet, which was conducting the escort mission in the Gulf of Aden and waters off Somali at the time, received report of the hijack of the ship OS35 at around 5 pm Saturday. The fleet's vessel Yulin set out for the area immediately."
The Xinhua report went on to add that after reconnaissance and having contacted with the ship's crew, rescue operation started early Sunday morning.
"A group of 16 members from the navy's special force boarded OS35 and rescued the 19 crew members. All the 19 crew members were under the protection of the Chinese navy, and soldiers carried out a thorough search of the ship to clear possible security threat," it added.
Spokesperson Hua said the Chinese navy received a message at 5pm on April 8 from the UKMTO and responded with alacrity.
The Tuvalu-flagged bulk carrier (OS 35) was travelling from Kelang in Malaysia to the Yemeni port city of Aden when it was hijacked by the pirates, the latest in a string of attacks after several years of silence.

Mixology is Trending
In the San Francisco area, #Mixology, the art and skill of preparing mixed drinks, 'is trending.'
Although it's fun to go out with my hubby to a hip new bar in downtown Oakland and browse a clever menu with interestingly named drinks containing slow food ingredients, it's cost prohibitive, $12 for 3 oz! Yikes.
Being a bargain bride (my husband's semi-amusing pet name for me), I blend concoctions at home. There are a few other reasons why I do it.
Making cordials uses the fruits my neighbor kindly bestows, like the Meyer's lemons she leaves us occasionally. (I can never have enough lemons.)
Since I juiced all of our lemons and composted them, I didn't have the main ingredient for Limoncello. (Here's another simpler recipe with beautiful photos.)
Then I read about how to make it on-line and realized that the main flavor in Limoncello comes from the grated rind in the liquor, and I realized my error. Oops.
Practically the next day I found K's plump lemons in a bag at the top of our sage-green concrete stairs in our front yard. Perfect timing. Got busy and made it.
Brewing 'mixers' utilizes edibles we grow, like lemon verbena for Homemade Tonic, or mint for Mojitos.
Booze isn't necessary with my tonic. I enjoy the non-alcoholic version containing a splash of tonic, sparkling water, and a small amount of pure blueberry juice.
I make my own tonic because most of the store-bought varieties contain controversial ingredients, which is too bad because the quinine from Cinchona bark is good for muscle aches.
I'm interested in the medicinal aspects of the plants in the concoctions I make.
According to Web M.D.:
"Cinchona is a tree. People use the bark to make medicine.
Cinchona is used for increasing appetite; promoting the release of digestive juices; and treating bloating, fullness, and other stomach problems. It is also used for blood-vessel disorders including hemorrhoids, varicose veins, and leg cramps. Some people use cinchona for mild attacks of influenza, swine flue, the common cold, malaria, and fever. Other uses are for cancer, mouth and throat diseases, enlarged spleen and muscle cramps.
Cinchona is used in eye lotions to numb pain, kill germs, and as an astringent. Cinchona extract is also applied to the skin for stimulating hair growth."
It's safe for most people, but the side effects of too much cinchona are here.
Obtaining ingredients exposes me to new places and to new blogs.
In my tropical green Ford Fiesta, I sped across the Bay Bridge to a store in the Mission District in San Francisco to obtain Cinchona bark. I bought every package on the shelf. I found out the place had it from a comment I read on-line. All the herbal shops I called were out of it. Hot commodity.
There are many wonderful blogs with Mixology ideas, but save time. I've collected recipes at my Pinterest board "Drinks for Adults."
Options other than beer and wine are nice occasionally.
Last but not least, the expressions on the faces of our house-guests after tasting one of my unusual beverages makes the effort worthwhile.
On a warm evening David, his cousin, their buddy from the old days when they were in high school, and I sat in our living room visiting. I brought out a frozen bottle of Limoncello and served each person a shot of it in sipper glassware. His friend's face lit up, and later, he wanted more.
4 Responses to "Mixology is Trending"
Mixology is trending? I had no idea. Maybe that explains the Obscura Society thing I went to the other night in the Mission District. They were making and serving absinthe. By the time they got around to the third one, the drinks were at 74 percent alcohol. Yikes! They say absinthe is legal in the States now, but I came away not being too sure about that. Hmmm…..
P.S. I like the idea of making your own tonic. Have you tried it with Hendricks Gin???

Pratapgarh, June 1 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Congress legislature party leader Pramod Tiwari today dismissed any possibility of ''tying up'' with the main opposition Samajwadi Party in the state for the coming Lok Sabha election.
Talking to mediapersons here, Mr Tiwari said, ''No such talks are in progress, neither we wish to do it.'' Stressing upon the criteria of reservation, the congress leader said reservation was the need of the hour not only for the backward classes, but also for the people of Upper class, who were financially weak.
He said Muslims and other people belonging to upper castes, who are not economically strong should be given reservation.
Unleashing vitriol on the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati, he said instead of focussing on developmental works, the CM had engaged herself in making parks and monuments.
Parks and other such places should be made, but not at the cost of development, he underlined.

Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin (1699-1779) is acknowledged as one of the finest genre and still-life painters of the eighteenth century. Until now, there has been surprisingly little substantial scholarship published on this great French artist's work. This authoritative and beautiful book redresses that lack, bringing to light a wealth of new material about an important and seminal artist, including paintings discovered within the last decade. A man of humble origins who painted humble subjects, Chardin rose to become one of the most sought-after artists of his day, attracting the patronage of Catherine the Great, Frederick the Great, and the Queen of Sweden, among others. The outstanding colorplates in Chardin clearly demonstrate why his work was so popular, and why it still intrigues us today. They reveal the artist's extraordinary understanding of form and volume, his virtuosity in depicting surface textures, and above all his poetic, yet unsentimental feeling for the common objects of daily life. Chardin's unassuming kitchen-table vignettes were enormously influential on the history of painting in France, where they have been revered for two centuries. They touch us with their calmness and humanity: a young boy building a house of cards; a woman taking tea, interiors with fruit, game, and lustrous copper pans. They are more than just depictions of domestic contentment; Chardin's paintings convey values that transcend his time and bring the artist and the modern observer together. An illustrated catalogue of prints made after Chardin's paintings accompanies a fascinating analysis of Chardin's life and career by Marianne Roland Michel, Director of the noted Galerie Cailleux in Paris and a highly regarded authority on French eighteenth-century painting and drawing. Together with contemporary accounts by Denis Diderot and Charles-Nicholas Cochin, a fully rounded picture emerges of the artist's life, his critical reception, the artistic world of his time, and his works themselves, which alone are proof of his unique standing. This lavish work is an invaluable contribution to the literature on Chardin and eighteenth-century art.

Michael (Duignan) Dignan
This is the original post I put on the Duignan Family site.As it turns out, the Duignan quickly became a "Dignan".There is some update at the end.......................................................
My Great-grandfather was Michael J. Duignan (notice the spelling change). In 1911, his widow, Ann, requested documentation from the War Department of his service in the Union Army during the Civil War so that she could collect his pension. I now have his official discharge/certification. It is fairly large, about 18" X 24", and is in color. About 40 years ago, my father (Bernard A. Dignan) had the document laminated and mounted.
The "discharge" documents every battle and campaign that Michael J. Duignan took part in. He enlisted in Allegheny County, PA and went to "boot camp" at Camp Howe, Pittsburgh, PA on Sept. 1, 1862. His age at the time was about 14 years old. The record states that he "buried the dead at Bull Run" which is consistant with a job for a camp boy. He most likely did not fight, although it does state that he was "wounded by a shot on the shoulder and knee" in 1865.
Michael was a private in Comapny I, 139th Regiment Pennsylvania Voluntary Infantry commanded by Col. F. Collier. This was part of the 6th Corps of the Army of the Potomac. This unit took part in the Battle of Gettysburg, July 2-4 and the pursuit of Lee, July 5 -24th, 1863. Michael was with the unit at Appomatox and was promoted th Corporal in March, 1865, about a month before Lee's surrender.
Michael and Ann Duignan had eleven children. They were - Mary A., Michael J. (jr.), Margaret, John, Bridget, Bernard X. (my grandfather), James, Edward J., William F., Thomas, and George.
Sometime after the War the family name was changed to Dignan (dropping the "U"). My grandfather told me that his father was the one who did this to avoid job discrimination against the Irish in the New York/New Jersey area. I am not sure this true since 'Dignan" is a fairly recognizable Irish name. Most likely it was a bureaucratic error along the way that my great-grandfather learned to live with.
My grandfather grew up in the Newark area, Essex County, New Jersey. All the siblings must have died at an early age or moved to other parts of the country because I only knew of my great-uncle Edward.
Please let me know if anyone has any other information that connects with this particular "Duignan"..................................................
Michael J. Dignan (now) moved to East Orange, NJ after the Civil War and married. There are various city records that show him and his wife, Anna, living with several sons. Michael J. Jr. - Bernard X. - Edward J. - William F. - George.Six siblings we can find no info on.Thomas, James, and John (sounds like the new testament, eh?) and Mary A., Bridget, and Margaret.
The family lived on Kearney St. from at least 1904 - 1928.And on Springdale Av. certainly in the 30's and 40's.

The college football season came to a close following the national title game pitting Alabama against Clemson, making way for odds on who'll be next season's national champion. And there's one team that could surprise.
Florida State, which beat Michigan 33-32 in a thrilling Orange Bowl, has vaulted behind Alabama in the very early odds. And that's not all. USAToday, with it's way-to-early 2017 Top 25, has the Seminoles ranked No. 1, and Alabama, No. 2.
Those lofty expectations seem warranted. The 'Noles will return one of the more talented groups in the country that's supplemented by five-star running back stud Cam Akers. Akers is so good — he's the No. 2 RB and No. 4 overall player — that there's even talk he could be a Heisman contender.
RELATED: College football playoff contender receives promising return news of top defender
Following Alabama and FSU, traditional powers Ohio State, USC, and Oklahoma all have 8-1 odds, followed by several teams that are bunched in one way or another.
Clearly, a lot can change between now and the start of games in August. Still, this is fun to debate.

Huddle gets US federal government breakthrough
US public sector workers get cloud-based collaboration software from Huddle after two major US government departments sign up
This Article Covers
Hundreds of thousands of US public sector workers have access to cloud-based collaboration software from UK IT firm Huddle after two major US government departments sign up.

A version of Huddle used by the UK government, which sits on a private cloud, is now available to the US government. At the same time, the US government will start using the public cloud version, which is available to any business in the world.
The Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T), and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) will use the same version as the UK government with hundreds of thousands of potential individual users.
The software was selected by IQT, a non-profit firm that identifies innovative technology to support the missions of the US Intelligence Community.
"We are excited about Huddle's technology platform and the opportunities for secure collaboration it has the potential to provide for our Intelligence Community customers," said Robert Ames, senior vice-president of Information and Communication Technologies at IQT. "We look forward to building upon the company's ongoing success in both the government and commercial markets."
The use of cloud-based collaboration by an organisation with the highest levels of security is further proof that cloud security fears are being overcome.
Alastair Mitchell, CEO at Huddle (pictured), said that the deal is evidence that the cloud is the most secure place to do business. "Even the security-conscious US government is making use of it."
He said government agencies will use the public version but a private alternative is necessary. The government always has information that cannot be connected to the internet.
Mitchell said the public sector has been the biggest success for the company. For example, over 80% of sales in the first month in the government's G-Cloud app store were Huddle. He added for similar reasons the financial services industry is beginning to take up the service.

Investment platforms are flush with £20bn of cash that could be losing their clients money, research from consultancy The Lang Cat has found.
The cash accounts make up 6.5 per cent of assets under administration, the consultancy has calculated – much higher than the 2 per cent needed in the majority of cases to cover platform and adviser charges.
The strong cash position, approximately triple what it should be, is particularly worrisome due to falling interest rates.
"Negative net positions started to creep in last year but it's now becoming widespread. If there is notably more than the minimum to pay transactions held in cash, you're essentially signing up to a loss," says Terry Huddart, market analysis manager at the consultancy.
He says despite the continued fall in interest rates that platforms are able to pay, the percentage of assets under administration in cash accounts has held relatively static meaning clients risk of losing money.
Huddart says the average cash accounts are even higher than 6.5 per cent on some platforms.
"Today the rates paid by platforms range from 0 per cent and 0.5 per cent, but in some cases the platform charge is also deducted.
Huddart says payments for regular and one-off withdrawals could be reasons to hold more than 2 per cent cash.
"However, it's increasingly important to ensure platform cash is deemed as a short-term holding and to look beyond the headline rate to the true net position.
"There is little refuge in money market funds either, as OCFs have been higher than returns. Platforms were able to maintain a workable rate for some time, even during the long period of the 50bp base rate, but that's highly unlikely going forward."
Platform James Hay recently said it may have to review its pricing structure as it forecasts a £1.2m hit to revenues as a result of the cut to interest rates.
On the other hand, Old Mutual Wealth and Aegon say they don't retain any margin on client cash. Where clients have holdings in cash Old Mutual passes interest to them in full. Currently the rate of interest on cash is 0.2 per cent.
Ascentric head of marketing Sarah Lyons says as cash accounts on platforms are primarily there to pay fees and charges, and not generate returns, the amounts held are usually "kept to a minimum" by advisers.
She says: "Ascentric has not passed the current cut in interest rates onto clients. We want to make sure that we do the right thing by advisers and their clients and so we have not reacted immediately to the recent interest rate change.
"Ascentric also does not have a platform charge on its cash account, which is different to many of our competitors.
"Where a platform charge is taken on cash holdings, the knock on impact of lower interest rates is that clients will start to see negative returns. This is why it is really important that the cash account is only used for transactional purposes to pay fees and charges."

Speculation about LaHood's future in the Obama administration has raged since he said in 2011 that he would retire at the end of the president's first term. LaHood has since softened his definitive stance, saying in December that he would not make a final decision until he talked to Obama.
LaHood's name was later not included in a White House list of Cabinet officials that would definitely be staying on the job in the president's second term.
Department of Transportation officials pointed to LaHood's December comments when asked by The Hill for an update on his future plans on Tuesday.
"I've had one meeting with the president and he's a little bit busy now, but we'll get back together sometime early next year and we'll continue our discussion," LaHood said then, referencing Obama's end-of-the-year deficit negotiations with Congress.
Villaraigosa has frequently been mentioned a possible contender to replace LaHood if he does retire from the transportation secretary position.
Villaraigosa is in the final year of his second term as Los Angeles mayor, and he played a prominent role in pushing Congress to approve a $105 billion transportation bill last year. The Los Angeles mayor, who also was chairman of the 2012 Democratic Party convention, frequently appeared at the capital with Boxer to push Republicans to vote in favor of approving the bill.
Villaraigosa, who is Hispanic, could be an attractive candidate for the position if LaHood retires. Obama has come under fire for a lack of diversity in his initial second term appointments -- his picks for secretary of State, Defense, Treasury and CIA director have all been white men, which has been frequently pointed out by Republicans in Congress.
-Ben Goad contributed to his report
