What are you feeling grateful for today?
If it's true that you get what you focus on, when was the last time you connected your thoughts to your heart and really felt gratitude for what you already have?
When times feel tough it is easy to forget how many magical things are happening, for the roof over your head, the food in your fridge, perhaps your friends and family, for your health, eyes to read this message, ears to hear fabulous music….
When we feel gratitude at a deep level we release wonderful naturally produced chemicals into our blood stream… these lift our spirits, relax us and make smiling a pleasure. When you find yourself feeling stressed. Stop for a moment, breath, take 5 minutes out to think and more importantly 'feel' really feel the feelings of gratitude.
Try just saying 'Thank you' twenty times in the morning and feeling the waves of gratitude wash over you – it's fabulous!
Quote of the day: "The single greatest thing you can do to change your life today would be to start being grateful for what you have right now. And the more grateful you are, the more you get." Oprah Winfrey

Fox Sports 1 had their best month yet in November
November is behind us, and Fox Sports 1 had a good month - in fact, a *very* good month.
November 2013 featured FS1's two most-watched weeks, and the network's two most-watched events: Oklahoma-Baylor on November 7th and the Oregon-Oregon State Civil War on November 29th. The Civil War just edged out the Big 12 matchup, drawing 2.179 million viewers compared to 2.11 million viewers. The Civil War also won the day for sports programming on cable TV - including ESPN, which aired the finals of the NIT Tip-Off between Duke and Arizona.

Citizens says the four investigators were fired as part of a restructuring. Gov. Rick Scott's chief inspector general is looking into the firings after the governor said they had "the appearance of impropriety." The inspector general report on the firings is expected to be released soon. It could offer more tawdry details on the corporate culture at Citizens, where Gilway said he is trying to rebuild the company's tarnished reputation.
Wednesday's document release provides ammunition for Citizens' critics, who say the company needs to fix its own shop before pushing for higher rates for homeowners.
Even Scott, who has generally supported Citizens' push to downsize, has bashed the insurer of 1.3 million for its corporate missteps. In an interview last week, he used words like "outrageous," "foolish" and "ridiculous" when describing some of Citizens' actions.
"When I see some people doing some foolish things, this is a government-organized entity," he said. "People shouldn't be doing these things."
Adding to the company's long list of embarrassing revelations is a case in which a Citizens employee used his company credit card to purchase "adult entertainment" in 2010.
"The preliminary review of outstanding charges disclosed that the employee had purchased alcohol on at least six separate occasions and entertainment at an adult entertainment establishment," Wednesday's report reads. The employee resigned in 2011.
The document release comes several weeks after the Herald/Times requested public records on several complaint cases, including the case involving the adult entertainment. That request remains pending.

Best Rain Boot!
I bought a pair of these for my daughter, and I must say they are perfect! They are just what she needed for exploring the numerous creeks and marshes we have around here. One of my favorite aspects of these boots is that the shaft is so long (going almost to her knee) that she can really wade out in the creeks without filling her boots with water. They seem extremely durable and I expect them to last her for as long as they fit her and still be in good shape for her sister. In fact, these worked so well I just ordered another pair so her sister doesn't have to wait that long!

Great color, not so much fit
I bought these boots for my daughter at full price. She loved the color, and how light they are; however, the top part of the boot is very stiff and narrow. Mind you my daughter has skinny legs, and doesn't have this problem with other boots. It takes a while to put them on and remove them as well. I have purchased other boots from Crocs, and I can't say enough about how comfortable/durable they are, but these are by far not what I was looking for. I would not recommend these boots to a friend - just the pair though. Love all other Croc shoes.

Broke in 2 days
I bought the boots online for my little girl. The order was shipped on-time. My daughter fell in love with the boots instantly, but the sole of the boots came off the second day she wore. I shall return it, I am not sure which ones to buy now. I have been using other flip flops and shoes of Crocs and they have all been perfect. I had issue with only this one.

It's not unreasonable - he needs a breather to regroup and start playing like himself.
Does anyone here think that this is the real Nomar? I hope not. There's another shortstop who comes to mind who struggled early this season.
Darn ... I LOVED the way Nomar was playing in the field this series!
Wow, how the mighty have fallen. Nomar being "rested" for a Red Sox/Yankee game. I wonder how he is taking this? Not good I bet. The guy is such a competitor. He shouldn't have the Boston media/fans/organization pressure him into coming back before he was fully ready. I wouldn't be surprised if the Red Sox trade Nomar this season.
Nice... I like this b/c it takes Nomar's bat out of the lineup(he hit a couple liners yesterday that were caught) AND I finally get to see Youklis, the Greek God of Walks(as named in Moneyball).. I want to see what Beane was getting all hot and bothered about..

Surcharges paying for water and sewer upgrades
Higher rates now make projects less costly in end
For almost three years now, Mt. Morris residents have been watching their water and sewer bills climb at regular intervals.
The good news is that the regular quarterly increases will end in March.
Faced with the necessity of digging and paying for a new well in 2008 and then starting construction of a new sewer plant last year, in 2010 the village board implemented gradual increases for both water and sewer in the form of surcharges that were added to the bills every three months.

Reviews by DoctorB2B:More User Reviews:mfnmbvpIllinois 3.78/5 rDev 0% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 12 oz. bottle, with no apparent bottled on date present. One of the seasonal winter releases from Rogue; I remember having this beer last year, but it's about time I revisited it. Poured into a clear balloon snifter glass. A - Pours about two and a half fingers of soft khaki fluff for a head on top of a dark ruby copper colored body. Looks pretty nice. S - Smell is of clean bready malt, earthy yeast, & some nice floral and herbal hop presence. T - Taste follows the nose: dry bready malt, light caramel, crisp earthy yeast, and some herbal / piney / grapefruit hop bitterness, but not as much as the nose leads you to expect. Faint coppery metallics on the finish. M - Feel is dry, bready, and earthy, with some pine / grapefruit bitterness lingering. Medium-bodied with good carbonation. Overall, a solid winter seasonal from Rogue. Clearly not the most complex beer around, but it is simple, flavorful and interesting. Highly drinkable with a moderate yet rewarding 6.00% abv. I will continue to look forward to this one yearly. Rogue Santa's Private Reserve ---4/5. Serving type: bottle 12-17-2013 04:59:16 | More by mfnmbvp MarkQ617Massachusetts 3.13/5 rDev -17.2% look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25 My first rating of a Rogue beer, poured out of the bottle into a pint glass. Gorgeous reddish-amber color, especially for Christmas. Great smokiness with a chewy mouthfeel. Plenty of booze coming through. Thick fluffy head, kind of an off-white. Nice red, one of the better Rogue offerings I've tried. Serving type: bottle 12-16-2013 02:45:40 | More by MarkQ617 BurgeoningBrewheadPennsylvania 3.79/5 rDev +0.3% look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.75 Poured into tulip; clear copper-red with intermittent rising bubbles feeding a moderate white head that stays around, leaving great rings of sticky lacing as it slowly descends. Smell is darker metallic malt, and lesser notes of fresh pine and juicier citrus hoppiness. Taste is clear, slightly dark-tasting malt followed by a wave of bitterness with some citrus and pine hiding in it. Finish is one of those where as soon as you swallow, you can't remember what it just tasted like. Mouthfeel is well-carbonated, light medium body. Overall, this is a pretty tasty beer. For a holiday seasonal, I'd prefer something with a little higher %abv, but the flavor is certainly at that level. Serving type: bottle 12-16-2013 00:28:41 | More by BurgeoningBrewhead |

When winners are losing
"When people look from the outside, they see you've won Super Bowls, NASCAR championships," he said. "But what people miss when they look from the outside is, they miss the heartaches and the defeats and the mistakes you've made. And my life is full of them."
In a new edition of the New International Version of the Bible, "Game Plan for Life Bible, NIV: Notes by Joe Gibbs," and a book of biblical devotions, "Game Plan for Life: Chalk Talks," Gibbs writes frankly about many of his failures, about how just as his coaching career was soaring he was facing private calamities including a bad real estate deal that had him losing $35,000 a month and spiraling into bankruptcy.
"Bad, bad decisions. Really bad," he explains. "I was broke."
Years of neglecting his health were followed by the startling news that he had developed diabetes, which he's now had for two decades; years of choosing work over family led to strained relations. Asked if he would do it all again and sacrifice his relationships with his family, he frankly and quickly says, "No. I look at that as probably one of the biggest mistakes I made in life."
A few years ago he said he took his sons out to out dinner and told them, "Don't do what I did."
"I could have organized that a different way. I could have found a way to spend more time with them and I think that'll be one of the things I really second guess ... at the end of my life."
Finding his faith again
Gibbs says he found comfort amid the turmoil in a renewal of his faith. A life-long Baptist, Gibbs says he's not fond of denominational distinctions and says he and his wife have always gravitated toward, "Bible-believing churches."
He became a Christian at a young age, "I made that decision when I was 9 but I spent a part of my life drifting, you know, I was on God's team but I wasn't playing for him."
He says spiritual mentors like a Sunday school teacher in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and some of his Redskins players helped him get back on track with a deeper, more meaningful Christian faith even while the struggles were at their worst.
"Part of playing the game of life is you're going to have some losses," he is fond of saying.
That is why he is sharing his private trials in this public way: so others can understand his belief that even winners lose when they lose their way. He regularly tours the country speaking about his faith at Game Plan for Life Outreach Breakfasts, designed so he can present his faith and help men by "getting off the sidelines and into the game," the organization says.
"I really want to spend the rest of my life getting out this word, you know, 'What is the right way to play the game of life?' You and I are the players, God's our head coach and we're all playing the biggest game of all."
Those struggles have all made him more introspective, more humble and more inclined to leave the office a little earlier for family time. He now has eight grandchildren.
"If I keep God first in my life, if I keep my family and friends as second, and then I keep my occupation third," he said, "that's when I've found success."
But make no mistake: Joe Gibbs still preaches the gospel of winning and he still thinks that's part of God's plan for him, too.
Ask him how long he'll keep coming to the office, stomping through the pits and sharing his testimony, "I think you're asking the wrong guy on that one. I think you need to ask the Lord on that one. I think you know at some point I'll probably run out of gas, but man, right now I feel like I've still got a full tank. I'm still going."

Janet Jackson Style File
Janet Jackson Style File
by Alexandra Phanor-Faury
Janet Jackson is no stranger to undergoing style transformations. We've watched the youngest Jackson evolve from a shy teen actress to a sexy pop icon over the decades. While exploring a bevy of looks from rocker to dominatrix to club kid to polish lady, Ms. Jackson has sparked a number of trends and influenced scores of pop stars with her strong stage presence and fashionable threads. Janet made her first fashion statement back in 1986 with the release of her breakthrough third album, "Control." Not only did the album mark her growth as an assertive young woman and artist, it also introduced us to a harder, edgier Janet who was making her transition from girl-next-door in preppy separates to a bad ass clad in all black everything. Oversized blazers, single key earrings, leather gloves and big hair were Janet's first claim to fashion fame. It's been 24 years since her bold look and Janet has consistently been recognized as a fashion tastemaker with designers like the late Alexander McQueen and Jean Paul Gaultier clamoring to style her.
Janet still continues to blow us away with her imaginative style repertoire.
There are a host of to-die-for Janet Jackson looks out there, here are our top picks:

Politician and rights activist Mu Sochua says "Cambodia is for sale". Photo: SImon O'Dwyer
A CAMBODIAN opposition leader has urged the federal government to stop Australian companies from accepting land concessions in Cambodia, saying they are contributing to a pressing humanitarian crisis displacing up to one million people.
Mu Sochua, a representative of the Sam Rainsy Party and prominent human rights advocate, is in Australia to meet with the Cambodian community and Greens MPs about the issue.
She says the Cambodian government has given away 2.5 million hectares of land - 13.8 per cent of the country - to domestic and international agricultural firms, and an additional 1.9 million hectares to mining companies to explore for gold and other precious metals.
"Cambodia is for sale," she said. ''China is the biggest beneficiary of economic land concessions. Australian companies are in the north-east, in indigenous areas. We are talking about thousands of hectares of land.''
According to Cambodians for Resource Revenue Transparency, Australian mining companies have received at least 20 mining concessions spread over at least six companies, with licences to explore more than 760,000 hectares in total.
Australian companies Southern Gold and Indochine Mining Limited have some of the biggest stakes in the country, with Indochine licensed to explore 431,000 hectares.
Ms Mu said it was unclear how many Australian agricultural firms were operating in Cambodia, but that Australia had long invested in the sector.

Fig and Blue Cheese Savouries
Author Notes: If you are like me, you always offer to bring something when invited to someone's house. I mean the offer, I always love an opportunity to cook for people, but sometimes it's hard to come up with a quick idea on the fly. And when it's one of those roaming parties – not a seated affair – choosing a dish that doesn't have to be kept hot or cold or require and special equipment adds to the challenge. I tend to fall back on the same recipes, but I recently wanted to add one to my repertoire – after all, it gets to be the same people at parties, right? These little Fig and Blue Cheese bites are easy but very elegant, and the surprising tart and tangy with sweet combination is a real treat. - TheRunawaySpoon
- TheRunawaySpoon
Food52 Review: These delicate, crumbly little thumbprints are the perfect combination of sweet and savory, as their names suggests -- they're like a great cheese plate all wrapped into one crunchy little morsel. TheRunawaySpoon's simple food processor dough yields tender, buttery coins flecked with blue cheese and black pepper. A good quality fig jam is crucial here; if you can't find it, quince or pear jam would also work well. - A&M - A&M
Makes about 3 dozen
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- Ground black pepper
- Fig preserves, about 3 Tablespoons
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the flour, butter, blue cheese and a few grinds of black pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the dough just comes together and starts to form a ball.
- Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to pull the dough together. Roll out to 1/8 inch thick with a floured rolling pin. Cut rounds out of the dough with a floured 1-inch cutter and transfer the rounds to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Using the back or a round half-teaspoon measure or your knuckle, make an indentation in the top of each dough round. Spoon about ¼ teaspoon of fig preserves into each indentation, using your finger to push the preserves as best as possible into the indentations.
- Bake the savories for 10 – 14 minutes, until the preserves are bubbling and the pastry is light golden on the bottom.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes, the remove to a wire rack to cool.
- You'll find fig preserves at the grocery – it may be shelved with the "fancy" jams and jellies. You can make these a day ahead and keep them in two layers separated by waxed paper in an airtight container.

Made these tonight for the first time and think they are fantastic! A few notes: I cut 1"rounds and didn't use as much of the fig preserves as recommended, but the preserves still ran over. Next time, I'll roll the dough 1/4-inch thick and cut 1 1/2" rounds. It looks from the photos that A&M may have even used a 2" cutter.
Also, I used the blue cheese from Cowgirl Creamery and it was a little overpowering, so a milder blue might be better.
I ended up with about 70 savories.
Can't wait to make these again!

Last night went to a Advent by Candlelight dinner .... one of the guests brought what we all though was a plate of Christmas Cookies. Suprize when we bit into a STAR shaped Fig and Blue Savoury.. Really FUN to use various shaped cookie cutters .
16 days ago KerhonksonGal
Good news! Decidedly less blue after baking. And DELISH.
16 days ago KerhonksonGal
I guess it must have :) So odd I'm going to throw them in the oven now and see what happens!
16 days ago Sanibelle
No. Did your blue cheese have a lot of blue in it? I have used blue cheese and Gorgonzola and never had a blue dough.
16 days ago KerhonksonGal
I just put the dough together last night, and it's BLUE. Anyone else have this smurfy result?
17 days ago susanne
yep, i used a standard multi-wire pastry cutter. cut the butter into the flour, as if for pie dough or other pastry. then cut in the gorgonzola the same way. it's very workable, just knead a few times to bring the last bits together.
17 days ago WoooPigSooie!
Has anyone made this dough without a food processor? Any tips or tricks?
22 days ago susanne
these are indeed easy and delicious. i used gorgonzola from costco, and added a half teaspoon of minced fresh rosemary instead of the black pepper. i also subbed a quarter cup of whole wheat flour for a quarter cup of the unbleached. i mixed the rosemary with the flours, cut in the cold butter with a wire pastry cutter, then cut in the gorgonzola. pressed into logs on plastic wrap, the dough chilled while the oven heated. i made about 70 bite-sized pastries. my husband and i like them so much, i quickly batched up most of them and delivered them to friends! only problem with this recipe: you will want to eat them all immediately.
about 1 month ago juleeclip
I made these for a birthday party recently (cookie cutter method). They were so incredibly easy to bake earlier in the day. After I tasted the first batch, I immediately made a second batch... these will be a staple at the holidays!
about 1 month ago Kt4
We rolled into a log and cut them thicker. Came out great! A hit with everyone there.
3 months ago Sigita
I made these again using the "log" method and then slicing them. I did find them a bit fragile when sliced 1/8 inch thick. More like 1/4 inch made for a sturdier "cookie". These are always a hit. You will not be disappointed. Delish.
3 months ago DianeS
These are a consistent hit whenever I make them. I'm happy to be able to use the fig jam that my husband makes from the figs on our turkey fig tree. A puzzle for me, though, is that the recipe says it makes about 3 dozen. When I use a 1 inch cutter and roll them 1/8 inch thick as called for in the recipe, I get at least 6 dozen. I don't know how this can be, but it happens every time and I've made these at least 6 times! I wonder if anyone else has had the same experience.
3 months ago Dawn
These were a last minute addition to my dinner party comprised of 13 guests. These disappeared without a trace ... or without a crumb, I should say. Thanks for sharing such a tasty and easy to make appetizer!

Brought these in a large mason jar to a friend's dinner party and everyone loved them with their glasses of wine! Perfect one-bite size. The blue cheese gives them the perfect amount of "bite". Thanks for this yummy recipe!

Great idea about the mason jar presentation! Making them as a hostess gift for my MIL this x-mas presented that way! Thank you!

Just made these with chevre (not a huge fan of blue cheese) and some jalapeno chutney I found at the market, since fig preserves were nowhere to be found. It worked wonderfully -- so easy and SO delicious!
7 months ago piacere
My hubby is the baker in the family and his first pass at these was yesterday. His outcome looked just like the photos here and the flavor was delicious. Perfect little "popper" size too. He shares that he needed to use about 1/4 cup more flour than the recipe specified to get to the right consistency but points out that can often happen in baking given moisture content in air and flour can impact flour amounts as measure. As might how moist is the blue cheese selected for this recipe as there are all kinds of moisture levels in those. He's going to play with this again make a flour weight note, since he uses weight measures when baking, on his file copy of this recipe because it is definitely a "keeper"!
9 months ago Diana Colton
I love the idea of this recipe, but am not a huge blue cheese or gorganzola fan. Would this dough work with goat cheese?
about 1 month ago Miles
Diana - I was wondering the same thing - did you ever get an answer?
9 months ago Sanibelle
I have made tham with blue and/or gorganzola cheese and both worked. I tried a Martha Stewart recipe with pecans, and it was not as good. I have used fig jam but like them best with a mango habanero jam from a local source. Next time I will use a hot pepper jam. I also make them as slice and bake and will freeze some of my latest batch. Everyone loves them and this is the best recipe out there.

Those who expected a stodgy match, as many previous Anglo-Scottish clashes have been, were mistaken as both sides carried the fight to each other and it was England who proved too strong on the day.
England began in ferocious fashion and edged ahead when Owen Farrell notched his first penalty of the day after just three minutes following infringement at the breakdown from Scotland.
But back came Scotland almost immediately - Stuart Hogg fielding Mike Brown's big boot and streaking through the England defence before offloading to scrum-half Greig Laidlaw.
And as England scrambled players back to defend their try-line, the ball was spread to the right where New Zealand-born winger Sean Maitland bundled his way over for his first international try on debut.
Laidlaw missed the target with the conversion however, and England, unperturbed by Scotland's score, continued to set about taking the game to their opposition.
Twelvetrees, on debut, saw plenty of the ball while back rows Tom Wood and Ben Morgan were also in the thick of the action.
And Farrell was handed the opportunity to restore England's lead when Scotland were penalised for not releasing on 14 minutes - a chance he duly accepted.
The Saracen made it three from three four minutes later but Scotland hit back to reduce the deficit to one with Laidlaw nailing his first kick of the game after Tom Youngs was pinged for coming in at the side midway through the first half.
Flying winger Tim Visser, who had notched four tries in his first five Scotland appearances, then booted clear and chased his kick as Scotland refused to bow to the home side's pressure.
But England refused to panic and the warning signs were evident when Brad Barritt made a half-break, only to be penalised for not releasing near the Scotland line on 26 minutes.
Five minutes later however, Ashton notched his 17th England try, pouncing after good work from forwards Joe Marler and Joe Launchbury.
Farrell then made it five from five with another crisply-struck penalty but Laidlaw grabbed one of his own just before the interval, ensuring Scotland were clinging to England's coattails, 19-11 down at the break.
Intent on running the ball where possible, it was England's patience that proved key to their second try, just four minutes into the second half as they worked the ball from left to right deep into Scotland territory before Ben Youngs fired to the onrushing Twelvetrees who dotted down his debut try.
Farrell again bisected the posts with the conversion and ten minutes later, Launchbury thought he had scored his first international try, only for referee Alain Rolland to rule it out for an infringement by Tom Youngs.
Undeterred and with Scotland palpably tiring, England regrouped and came again and after a scything break from Ben Youngs, Farrell's looping pass found Parling out wide, who cruised over for his first England try.
Farrell then missed his first kick of the match but England were fizzing and Scotland were clinging on.
Further patient build-up almost saw captain Chris Robshaw go over on 60 minutes as England threatened every time they got the ball in hand.
But Scotland stood firm and then hit back with a fine score of their own.
Replacement David Denton made the initial break deep inside his own half and he fed Maitland, whose kick forward was perfect for the chasing Hogg to dive on to.
Laidlaw was on target with the conversion to take the score to 31-18 but England had the final say as replacement Care sniped his way under the posts at the death.
Farrell drop-kicked the conversion to rubber-stamp the victory while Scotland's wait for a win at Twickenham will extend to at least 32 years and 2015, when they next return to south west London.

I'd like to get a new Mac laptop, but I'd also like to keep using my Samsung SyncMaster 305T display.
The new laptops are all equipped with MDP/Thunderbolt ports. Did Apple ever fix all the problems that were reported with the MDP to Dual-link DVI adapters? Or are they still a broken and buggy mess?
If the Apple adapters still aren't up to scratch, are there alternative adapters that forum members would recommend?
Last edited by ghub005 on Sat May 05, 2012 4:26 am
The Apple online store reviews don't paint a pretty picture.
http://store.apple.com/nz/reviews/MB571Z/A |
I'm still using mine, I bought it the day they came out and it has been working fine since they updated the graphic drivers on my MB with my Sensy LCD30CAL display.
At launch, it was indeed a disaster, but it's fine now in my experience. |
Just to be clear, when you say MBP port, you mean mini display port right? All current mac laptops are actually Thunderbolt ports, not even true mDP.
Mine works OK, driving a 30" Cinema. I will occasionally get a some glitches which is solved by unplugging the USB portion (power to the box) of the cable. Maybe one a month or longer.
Kanex comes highly recommended as a replacement but I have no experience with it. |
Never had a problem with mine, running a second 30" ACD on it every day.
cpk0 wrote: Just to be clear, when you say MBP port, you mean mini display port right? All current mac laptops are actually Thunderbolt ports, not even true mDP. Yep - I must have posted that too late at night. I meant to type MDP not MBP. I have edited the OP to correct this. I was under the impression that the Thunderbolt ports on the current laptops support the MDP adapters? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbol ... terface%29 |
They do. They're not mini DisplayPorts though.
analogika wrote: They do. They're not mini DisplayPorts though. From what I've read, Thunderbolt ports are designed to be electrically and mechanically compatible with existing MDP peripherals. So they're fully backward compatible with MDP devices. Which means that by any sensible definition, the current Apple laptops all have onboard MDP ports. The only question is whether the MDP to dual-link adapters actually work. The evidence points to "maybe". |
"They should".
My point was semantic. |
I had two of the active adapters running two Samsung 305Ts off my MP. Worked fine, although occasionally the monitors would wake from sleep with just static on the screen. Easily solved by simply hitting the power button on the monitor to turn it off and back on.
BTW, I had really, really bad luck with those Samsungs - went through five over the course of three years with various failures - switched to HP ZR30w monitors connected via display port and so far, they've been solid. |
Had one purchased in late 2010 that I was using with a Dell 30" worked most of the time, sometimes the monitor would lose video for a fraction of a second, and othertimes wouldn't see anything on the USB bus going through it. Just replaced it with a native displayport HP monitor.. Nice to know the part about thunderbolt / MDP being the compatible... Was looking at buying the Apple monitor as its price comparable to HP 27" ZR2740W and chose the HP because I didn't think the Apple monitor would compatible with a mid 2010 macbook pro.
I use a Dell adapter to my Apple 30". Like others, it works most of the time; occasionally the screen will blink, the blinks become more rapid. Solved with an unplug/plug cycle, so not a big deal. 30 > 27

The Apple Thunderbolt Display requires a Thunderbolt port. It cannot be connected to an MDP port. The Apple LED Cinema Display can connect to either an MDP port or a Thunderbolt port. In other words: Thunderbolt ports are backward compatible with MDP displays, but MDP ports cannot drive Thunderbolt displays. |

Kick off 02:00 BST at Estadio Atanasio Girardot, Medellin, Colombia
FIFA U20 World Cup Group F
By Nicholas Veevers in Medellin
England put in a strong and disciplined performance, with some good football thrown in for good measure as they were held to a draw by Argentina in Medellin.The result means that Brian Eastick's team go into their final group game with Mexico knowing that a win will guarantee them a passage to the Seocnd Round whilst even another draw is also likely to take the Young Lions through as one of the best third placed group teams.Eastick's team can consider themselves unfortunate not to have got more out of this game though, having had more than their fair share of the possession and opportunities against an Argentina side who were strong favourites in this competition.They had no answer to England's defence and midfield though, whilst the likes of Billy Knott, Saido Berahino, Matt Phillips, Callum McManaman and Michael Ngoo in the latter stages provided the Albaceleste with plenty to think about in what developed into an entertaining contest for the 40,000 strong crowd.It was a tentative start to the game, with few chances at either end in the opening exchanges but Argentina came the closest to opening the scoring after 20 minutes. A pass into Juan Iturbe was superbly controlled by the winger, before he quickly turned and fired a shot wide of the target to light the touchpaper.Jack Butland was forced into his first save of the match eight minutes later, when Adrian Martinez fired a speculative shot at goal only for the England 'keeper to tip it around the post and wide.England were then dealt a blow just after the half-hour mark though, as the commanding Nathan Baker was carried off after taking a bang to the head and suffering concussion. Midfielder James Wallace came on to replace him, with Reece Brown dropping back into defence.Seconds after that change, England had the ball in the net when Phillips whipped in a cross from the right for Knott to side-foot home. The Young Lions thought they were ahead, only for an offside flag to see that ruled out, with replays showing the Sunderland man to be marginally offside.Knott then tried his luck again, from a bit further out this time, as he struck a low shot from 25 yards which hit the side netting.It was certainly the Young Lions who finished the half the stronger of the two teams though and Eastick would certainly have been the happier of the two coaches at the break in what was developing into a really intriguing encounter.England picked up where they left off too, playing some good football with Wallace in particular prompting things from his deep lying position. One pass which he placed over the top to pick out Saido Berahino had Argentina on the back foot and when after the striker skipped past Hugo Nervo, his angled shot was well saved by Esteban Andrada.In response, Argentina coach Walter Perazzo made a tactical switch by removing striker Facundo Ferreyra for an extra midfielder and playing with no centre-forward but two wingers and a more advanced role for the dangerous Erik Lamela. It had an instant effect too, as within minutes, Lamela had forced Butland into a good save with a powerful shot from a tight angle.England also made changes and Michael Ngoo was brought on to replace McManaman. A different style to Berahino up front, he offered an alternative threat and after skipping past two men, his slipped pass into Adam Smith on the edge of the area was sublime. The right-back, who had made a great run forward, saw his low shot tipped around the post by Andrade though.That proved to be the last of England's opportunities and with Blair Adams limping off for the last five minutes through injury, it was Argentina who finally came to life in the dying moments.Aside from a header by captain German Pezzella which went over though, England held firm to pick up a deserved and morale-boosting point.

No teammates around, so James Harden high-fives air
Former Arizona State Sun Devil and Oklahoma City Thunder guard James Harden is quite a character.
He's also a hell of a basketball player, though that's not what this article is going to focus on.
No, instead we are going to look at what Harden did after he already put the ball in the bucket.
Harden was sent to the free throw line due to a "clear path to the basket" foul, meaning he gets two shots and his team retains possession. Because of that, players do not line up with him at the free throw line because, well, rebounds don't really matter.
However, that did not deter Harden and his beard from doing the customary high-five or fist bump with teammates after a made foul shot.
Well played, gentlemen.

In Good Hands
Eat, drink, and be merry at a Rockland wine bar that specializes in late-night fare.
- By: Kathleen Fleury
Photo courtesy of Melody Wolfertz/ In Good Company
On any given summer evening, Maine's midcoast region offers an enviable range of fine dining options - up until a certain strike of the clock. The witching hour for most restaurants in the area tends to be a strict 9 p.m. Then the ovens turn off, patrons drive home, and the late dinner diner is oft disappointed.
Happily, In Good Company, located on Main Street in Rockland, is ready to serve you late into the night, as late as eleven during the high-summer season. But you won't find bar food or burgers at this chic eatery. Rather, this is the place to go to enjoy the fun tapas-style plates and the unsurpassed wine offerings over good conversation.
Owner and chef Melody Wolfertz, a Culinary Institute of America graduate - and Rockland native - values the company as much as the food. "I have a great base and we have a lot of fun," says Wolfertz. The local patronage imparts a familial quality to the atmosphere. "I think I succeed in that I don't have an average customer," explains Wolfertz. "My favorite is when I look out and I see all ages out here. It's a comfortable place to come, but I would say that my customer base is mostly female. Even if you're by yourself you can come sit at the bar and talk to somebody." (Sitting at the bar with the friendly staff really does alleviate any loneliness the solo diner might feel). But In Good Company is not just a local watering hole. It exudes a cosmopolitan feel, the result of the late hours, the small plates, and the gorgeous interior design - enhanced by remnants of past inhabitants like the bank vault turned wine cellar. It is truly an oasis of urbanity and sophistication in Rockland, without the pretension.
And any city would be lucky to have the wine list of In Good Company. A wine enthusiast and part owner of the Wine Seller a few blocks away, Wolfertz admits she has a "problem with buying wine." The problem being that she buys a lot of it. "I try to cover all the countries and all the styles," says Wolfertz. "It's hard because now there are so many little grapes." There are over two hundred wines on her list, plus more than thirty bottled beers. Don't be afraid to ask for help when making a selection, as the staff is eager to lead you to a trusted favorite or something new. For a more in-depth experience of the wine offerings, attend one of Wolfertz's frequent wine dinners that pair cuisine and libations from regions around the world.
Such dinners, and the attention to the wine list, are possible because of the advantageously small size of the restaurant. This applies to the kitchen as well. Only one person can fit into this tiny inlet, so every plate passes through Wolfertz's own hands. She takes a personal approach to gathering her ingredients, too, traveling to farm stands before work, collecting the freshest food possible. "We need to support small farmers," emphasizes Wolfertz. Indeed, the bounty of local farms constitutes her entire menu. You might have a pig product from Terra Optima in Appleton, greens from Dandelion Spring Farm in Damariscotta, honey from Beth's Farm Stand in Warren, goat cheese from Seal Cove Farm in Lamoine, or crab from "a really great provider" (so great she didn't want to give him or her away).
With well-chosen ingredients and personal attention to each plate, Wolfertz achieves the perfection of simple, good cooking. Sampling is the way to go here. For a snack, an order of crusty bread with Italian butter and Parmesan cheese pairs well with a glass of Waterbrook Char-donnay from Washington. Or have a casual, crispy pizzetta - the fig and prosciutto version is a customer favorite. For a more hearty meal, indulge in one of the entrees: beef and fish are almost always on the menu, taking various forms such as braised short ribs or Basque-style cod. Just make sure to save room for the chocolate fudge cake.
According to Wolfertz, the key to enjoyable dining is simple preparation of individual plates with lots of variety among the dishes. "I think it's boring to get one plate of something," she says. "It's a lot more fun to try new things and sit and chat." Wolfertz believes that good food and good company together have a way of suspending time. Thus the Italian adage adorning each menu: "A tavola non si invecchia mai. At the table one never grows old." Here's to never growing old, at the tables of In Good Company.
In Good Company is located at 415 Main Street in Rockland. Open Tuesday through Sunday 4:30 p.m. to close. Small plates $3-$12; entrees $14-$20; desserts $7-$10. Wheelchair accessible. 207-593-9110..

Appearance: medium orange hue with a touch of haze and a robust effervescence. Head poured a finger of frothy ivory foam, but this is dissipating somewhat rapidly. Still, a nice looking beer. Smell: sweet malt with plenty of graininess. A little dose of bitey hops is also present. Not too bad. Taste: light malt with a citrusy hop character. Bitterness at the end is quite moderate, although balanced considering the low alcohol and relatively low sweetness of this brew. There is a sense that this beer is watered-down, but for a 3.3% ABV second-runnings beer, it's not bad at all. Mouthfeel: light bodied but the big carbonation makes up for some of this. Nicely, if ephemerally, creamy. Overall: this may not be the greatest beer in the world, but it is quaffable and refreshing and I like its parti-gyle nature. I'd love to have this on draft sometime for a long session.

Pours a crystal clear honey color w/ a nice white head, some good lacing. Looks nice. Aroma is lightly malty and floral. Crackery pale crystal malt and a mild hop presence. Taste is fruity and light, lots of toasted grain hits the palate. Some good hoppy bitterness on the finish but the focus here is on the barley. Floral and semi-sweet. Mouthfeel is crisp and light with a prickly bite. A little thin, to be expected from a 3.3% beer. Overall an OK session beer. Not one I'd crave very often but a nice change of pace.

I had to get rid of the last bottle on the shelf, so I might as well buy it myself. This stuff pours a clear tawny-amber topped by a finger of lightly off-white foam. The nose comprises faint old sourdough and what may or may not be a hint grass, depending on whether or not I'm actually just smelling the air outside somehow. The taste pretty much echoes the smell, though now it's just generic barley and generic white bread yeast combining to form the most milquetoast of all possible flavors. I'd knock it, but it's not offensive, just insanely boring and undistinguished. The body is pretty light, with a light moderate carbonation and a sorta/kinda crisp finish. Overall, this may be one of the blandest beers outside of the BMC arena. It's not bad, per se, just something I'd likely easily forget that I'd imbibed on any given day, especially if anything else happened that day, beer- or otherwise.

A: Poured a tanned-straw color with a fluffy white head. Good start. S: Didn't get much from this beer, and I thought it was served a bit too cold which made picking up the aromas harder. I could piece out some bready malts which was expected. It wasn't overwhelming though. T: Your standard run-of-the-mill Bitter without any memorable properties. Again, I blame this on the temp in which it was served. I tried warming it up with my own hands, but that didn't improve the qualities that much. M: Didn't coat as much as I would have expected. The malt was there, but not as much as I would have liked for a Bitter. O: Not too memorable. I'd still encourage people to try it to form their own opinions, but I'm a BIG fan of malt characteristics in my beer. This one was off the mark in that department even though it is a Bitter.

When is the best time
to go on a safari holiday in South Africa?
Africa is very much a country of two halves in terms of climate, with the north
or the country, including Kruger National Park, the Madikwe Reserve and the
reserves of KwaZulu Natal experiencing very different weather throughout the
year to that found along the southern coast in the Kwandwe Reserve and Cape
January and February
the north of the country these summer months in South Africa bring hot
temperatures and some rain, but wildlife tends to be in good health and give
birth to their young and migrating birds move through these areas. The clear
air and dramatic skies mean photography can be great.
In the south the summer months are the best time to visit with sunny days and a much lower chance of rain.
March and April
the north these months spell the end of the rains and can be a 'mid-season' for
the numbers of safari visitors and prices. The bush becomes more lush and green
and animals are in great condition. These months are a fantastic time of year to
combine a safari in northern South Africa with a holiday in Cape Town.
Although autumn in the south of South Africa means cooler days, it's still a great time to visit Cape Town and the southern coast, with the grape harvest being a draw to the Winelands of Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl.
May to August
north of South Africa is firmly into winter, although here this means clear sunny
days and cooler evenings and nights – make sure you've got something warm for
those early morning drives on an open safari vehicle. As the bush dies back
wildlife viewing becomes easier as vistas open up and animals are also drawn to
the remaining permanent water. Although these months are holiday months for
Europeans, they're not for South Africans, so there can be some surprising
Winter in Cape Town and the southern coast of South Africa is the time the weather is at its most varied with clear days quickly becoming cold and wet. It's a time for all but the most determined or hardy to steer clear of this area of the country.
September and October
are climbing in the north and game viewing is very good. The land is starting
to look parched, animals are driven to water and the dust in the air means
sunsets can be spectacular. These are super months to combine a safari in the
north with a stay in Cape Town.
November and December
The first rains can fall in the north of South Africa in November and December,
but the short sharp showers that do fall can take some of the heat out of the
air and leave a wonderful 'post rain' scent. Wildlife viewing is still very
good and the first flush of new grass adds to the beauty of the scenery. A
Christmas safari in the warmth is an excellent way to avoid the cold damp
weather of the northern hemisphere.
Quite rightly these months are high season for holidays to Cape Town, South Africa's Winelands and the southern coast. Days are hot and sunny and the evenings are warm enough to sit out and enjoy a fabulous meal al fresco.

[God] wills creatures, not for something they are or that is in them, but for his own sake. He remains his own goal. He never focuses on his creatures as such, but through them he focuses on himself. Proceeding from himself, he returns to himself. It is one single propensity that drives him to himself as the ultimate end and to his creatures as the means to that end. His love for himself incorporates into itself the love he has for his creatures and through them returns to himself. Therefore, his willing, also in relation to creatures, is never a striving for some as yet unpossessed good and hence no sign of imperfection and infelicity. On the contrary: his willing is always also in and through his creatures absolute self-enjoyment, perfect blessedness, divine rest.
- Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, p. 2.233
How sweet all at once it was for me to be rid of those fruitless joys which I had once feared to lose! ... You drove them from me, you who are the true, the sovereign joy. You drove them from me and took their place, you who are sweeter than all pleasure.
God would be unrighteous (just as we would) if he valued anything more than what is supremely valuable. If he did not take infinite delight in the worth of his own glory he would be unrighteous. For it is right to take delight in a person in proportion to the excellence of that person's glory.

We did neuter our Jake at 6 months old. I read the pros and cons and we stuck with our decision. At 10 months old he seems to be on par for growth. His parents were smaller shepherd's at 75 and 80 pounds, so we never expected him to be a super big boy.

My breeder suggested 18 months. I chose to do it a bit earlier at 15 months since the time period fit better into my schedule.
The only point of waiting for me was to get her x-rays done at the same time. That didn't happen either way, so when I spayed was not a big issue. I have a pet dog, so performance/conformation/appearance aren't big factors for me. The only thing I had in mind was her health. I researched and made what I thought was the best decision.

I'm still on the fence with this one... I don't know if I want to do it at all. Rocco is now 13 and 1/2 months. If I do it, I'll wait until he is 18 months to 2 years.

1. Good football game.
2. How could that ref not call that?!
3. The blackout.
4. Beyonce, wow, man.
5. A lot of bad ads.
Well, that's basically it. Did I leave out anything?
These would be your top five Super Bowl talking points, wouldn't you agree? Because if something more interesting happened on Super Bowl Sunday that's still got you talking on Monday, I would very much like to know what it was.
F-words overheard in the winning team's celebration, perhaps? (Hey, watch your Flacco mouth, pal!) Or that guy going 108 yards with a kickoff? How about a Harbaugh mentioned every 10 or 20 seconds on TV? Oh, and that cute Clydesdale. And the losing team's quarterback, Colin I'm-So-Good-I-Can-Kiss-Myself.
OK, I suppose somebody out there might be talking about some of these things, too.
I personally thought John Harbaugh's Ravens 34, Jim Harbaugh's 49ers 31 was a truly cool Super Bowl, possibly one of the 10 best ever played. I have sat through quite a few bad, bad Super Bowls in my day, including one inside this same New Orleans dome where a 49ers team beat the living gumbo out of a Denver Broncos team. Compared to that clinker, trust me, Sunday's game between Baltimore and San Francisco was a classic.
But it sure didn't start out that way.
Kickoff came in the late afternoon in Los Angeles, where I watched Super Bowl XLVII on a XLIII-inch screen. It was still light outdoors out west as the game drew close to halftime, and the score was so one-sided -- Baltimore was up by 21-3 at one point -- I reached for the remote control of my TV.
Let's see, what else was on? ESPN: "World's Strongest Man" competition. ESPN2: Auburn vs. Florida women's gymnastics. TNT: A rerun of "Law & Order" (what a surprise). AMC: "The Walking Dead."
No, I stuck with CBS, where, on their way to the locker room, the 49ers also appeared to be the walking dead.
Beyonce came out next and sang -- really sang, not like at Barack Obama's inauguration. And then her two old teammates from Destiny's Child sang along with her. I think they sang "Bootylicious," a song that I believe Beyonce was not asked to sing at Obama's inauguration.
Soon the second half began.
It took approximately 12 seconds for a Raven named Jacoby Jones to fly 108 yards for a touchdown. Baltimore was now up by 28-6 and Mr. and Mrs. Harbaugh's son John was looking more and more like destiny's child.
I picked up that remote once more.
HBO: "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close." TLC: "My Big Fat American Gypsy." MTV: "Snooki and JWOWW." VH1: "Mob Wives." ID: "Wives With Knives."
A tough choice, obviously. I decided no, I cannot change this channel now, because I might miss a Super Bowl commercial that everybody else will be buzzing about tomorrow. Maybe a funny one with a talking baby or a chimpanzee. Maybe a sexy one with somebody classy like Danica Patrick or Snooki or JWOWW.

Dick Pinney's Guidelines; Passion for waterfowl hunting influences writer's life decisions
"Earlier this month during the opening of the Coastal Zone duck season, I was hunting with friends. We hit a local beaver pond near Great Bay. The guys were good to me, putting me on stand while they went out and slogged through the bog. My lab Blink was sad each morning when we go sea ducking and he doesn't get to go with he old man. Chasing big ducks in five-foot swells and having to jump out of and get back into a 22-foot boat isn't what retrievers were designed for, so the sad eyed pup had to wait until regular duck season opens.
"To check that out, draw a full-sized outline of the game on a sheet of paper, step off the distance you want to test and fire one round. Then eyeball the target, determining if there are enough hits for a clean kill, if the pattern is even and consistent, and how the point of aim compares with the center of the pattern hits,' Brooks points out.
Dick Pinney's column appears weekly in the New Hampshire Sunday News. Email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
