Paula, You are one of the best creators in the food industry I have ever seen. I am a chef myself, I cater and I am hoping and praying that one day I will be able to open my own restaurant. I have tried some of your recipes and they are absolutely fabulous. I just want to say thank you for who you are and the part that you play in our lives. We love you and appreciate you. Lin

Such a simple & delicious recipe! I made one with pears & the other with tart apples and the kids loved them. I halved the topping amount. I served them topped with vanilla ice cream. A lovely finish to the day.
By Susan Caporali on October 08, 2012
This recipe was amazingly delicious!! As suggested, I halved the topping recipe and it was more than enough. I wonder if the printed recipe is mistaken? I also replaced the brown sugar with Splenda Brown Sugar blend to cut back on calories a bit. The flavors in this were just perfect and the topping just perfectly crispy. I imagine it would work well with just about any fresh fruit or even frozen cherries. I served it with light vanilla ice cream.

this is delish but took the suggestion of some of the other reviews and cut the topping ingredients in half and it turned out perfect.

Beauty and Beast
Tulsa's hot ticket is ready to fight
You might want to grab an eraser for the November 3 date you marked on your calendar. STRIKEFORCE announced an Oklahoma City fight card at the end of July.
Since then the card and promotion jumped in the proverbial hand basket and headed south. Several fighters pulled out due to injury. Showtime in conjunction with STRIKEFORCE cancelled the event on October 12.
No one asked but here is what STRIKEFORCE should do to make it up to fight fans in Oklahoma and across the nation. Find Daniel Cormier a headline worthy opponent, move the event to the BOK Center and stack the card with local fighters.
The official press release cancelling the event made mention of the next big fight card being held in January. However, no city or venue was mentioned. Seems like a Tulsarrific time for our city to make a move.
White Belt
A popular local fighter STRIKEFORCE could call is Tulsa's sensational Nicdali "The Night Queen" Rivera-Calanoc (8-6). However, Nicdali has her sights set on a specific belt and not a STRIKEFORCE fight at this time.
"My goal is to have the 105-pound Invicta World Title belt," said Rivera-Calanoc. "They are the only promotion that has a world title for my weight class."
Invicta Fighting Championships is a relatively new promotion. Their fight cards feature all-female professional fights. They are based out of Kansas City and seem to have found a nice niche.
"I say in two more fights I will be ready to fight Jessica (Penne)," said Nicdali of the newly crowned atom weight champion. Invicta is the only promotion offering fights to females in the 105-pound weight class.
She has a 1-1 record so far in the new promotion. Her last fight was a decision victory back in July. She looked outstanding. The next Invicta card is set for January and she hopes to be part of it. She has one fight left on her contract.
Purple Belt
Born, but not necessarily raised, in Chihuahua, Mexico, she split her high school years between Jenks and Union. Her family moved to Tulsa when she was five.
Athletics have always been a huge part of her life. The diminutive (5'3'') fighter was once a promising point guard. "I was this height in fifth grade," she said. "Everyone thought I was going to be tall."
Her aspirations of playing college ball were over. She quit the team her senior year at Union. Her coach was pissed because she was penciled in as the starter or the sixth man coming off the bench.
Fighting is her passion. She is a hairstylist by day. However, she loves helping young aspiring athletes to this day.
Ultimate Performance Complex, 10909 East 56th St., specializes in strength, conditioning, speed and agility for athletes of all ages. They also offer mixed martial arts classes. It is her home gym as well.
The manager is Travis Calanoc. Her husband, coach and all-around rock once had a promising MMA future as well until double hernia surgery shelved his career last year.
"He has been doing martial arts since he was five," she said. "He has done continuous education. He is studying all the time. It is great for me because I always get the benefit of everything he learns. It has helped me grow as a fighter and as an athlete."
The one drawback? Fight talk is off-limits in the home. They do not even watch fights at home. "We have a rule because it is overkill sometimes."
Black Belt
If you have not noticed by now, Nicdali is a female -- a striking female at that. Striking, of course, having a double meaning in this case.
There is something about two females fighting that illicit responses the men never deal with. You know the standard "cat fight" or "cat call" rhetoric.
"It is more accepted but people still give me crazy looks when I tell them what I do," she said of women's MMA in general. Co-workers refer to her as a nonconformist.
In the combat sports realm, warriors like her best friend Miesha Tate have been giving credibility to all female fighters. The headline bouts on STRIKEFORCE and Invicta have provided the platform for the ladies to showcase their skills.
No matter how hard they fight there will always be a segment of society that dismisses their profession.
"In everyday regular life I don't think it ever will be accepted," she said. "Maybe in 50 or 100 years -- yes. I don't see it changing anytime soon because of the way society views women and violence.
"A lot of people, not people I hang out with, but other people are like 'Oh, you fight? Why would you do that?'"
The simple answer is: Why not? She is talented. She has an appetite to compete. Her looks, as she explained, can be a positive and a negative.
Babes of MMA is her main sponsor. Sponsorship dollars and equipment is vital to all fighters. In this case her looks opened a door for her.
On the other hand it can take away from her actual in-cage performance. She fought Felice Herrig in a competitive, high-level bout. The only attention garnered was of the "epic" stare down at the weigh-ins. Some of the forum comments were NSFW and would make Andrew Dice Clay blush.
"I'm like, did you watch the fight?" she said. "It hurt my feelings a little bit but if we are getting attention then whatever. They will eventually pay attention to my fighting which they have now. I guess I got over it."
She is over it and ready to battle. Invicta atom weights; you are officially on notice.
The Night Queen is on the prowl.

[edit] Usage TipsThe New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) was founded in 1845 and has an immense collection of genealogical resources. New England is undoubtedly its strength, but it has a considerable collection from other locales. The more likely New Englanders were to be concerned about the area, the greater the likelihood of resources (i.e. New York, Ohio, England, and the colonial South all have relatively strong collections; less so the American west and any other country). There are two primary resources for the public: the library and the website. Membership ($75/year/$90/family and up) is generally required to access the website resources, but non-members can use the library for a daily fee of $15. [edit] The LibraryLocated on Boylston Street in Boston. Open to members and the public Tuesdays through Saturdays. Description from their website: The NEHGS Research Library offers a comprehensive collection of more than 200,000 books, periodicals, and microform materials, as well as over one million manuscripts. Its book holdings include nearly all published New England genealogies, local histories, and related periodicals. Its microtext collection, with more than 40,000 items, contains copies of the original town, probate, land, and vital records; city directories; censuses; and immigration records for most of New England and eastern Canada. Beyond New England, family researchers will find many important published and primary sources for other regions, including U.S. states beyond New England, England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, eastern Canada, French Canada, Europe, and Australia. An additional important resource at the library are the librarians, most of whom have extensive research experience, and can help direct patrons struggling with brick walls. See also their library guide. A portion of their library is available for lending by mail to members. [edit] The WebsiteMany NEHGS-published or out of copyright New England resources are being put online at the Society's website. See Repository:AmericanAncestors.org. (Materials available in hard copy should link to this repository. Materials that have been put online should link to the website.) [edit] Further Reading
The New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) is the oldest and largest genealogical society in the United States, founded in 1845. A charitable, nonprofit educational institution, NEHGS is located at 99-101 Newbury Street, in Boston, Massachusetts, in an eight-story archive and research center. Today it has over 25,000 members worldwide and a 50-person staff. Its mission is to "collect, preserve, and interpret materials to document and make accessible the histories of families in America." In 2010, NEHGS announced a broader identity and re-launched its quarterly magazine as American Ancestors: New England, New York, and Beyond to better reflect its national scope and leadership position among genealogical nonprofits. NEHGS maintains a large web site with more than 100 million names in its databases, the largest such online collection of any genealogical society. It includes vital records, compiled genealogies, and a suite of scholarly journals, such as The New England Historical and Genealogical Register and The American Genealogist, the leading independent journal in American genealogy. In addition to American Ancestors (formerly New England Ancestors), NEHGS publishes other periodicals: The Register, the flagship journal of American genealogy, American Ancestors Journal, an annual supplement to The Register, and The Great Migration Newsletter, a quarterly publication of the Great Migration Study Project. NEHGS' library catalog is available online and lists more than 200,000 genealogical books and other resources. The R. Stanton Avery Special Collections features over twenty million manuscript items, with an emphasis on the period of the 17th century to the present, covering New England and other regions.

New Jersey on Tuesday became the biggest state yet to allow regulated online gambling, establishing a template that proponents hope other states will follow for a business that federal authorities long treated as a criminal enterprise.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie Associated Press
The new law allows Atlantic City's casinos to run websites that take bets on games such as blackjack, slots and poker. It also could help legitimize online-gambling companies whose executives the U.S. Justice Department once targeted for offering the same kind of Internet wagers.
The law, passed by the legislature and signed Tuesday by Gov. Chris Christie, for now requires bettors to be physically present in the state, which industry executives and regulators believe can be verified with technology that tracks a user's location. But bets could conceivably be placed from any device with an Internet connection.
What's News: New Jersey becomes the biggest state to allow regulated online gambling, Apple looks to India for growth and its annual meeting kicks off this morning and Pope Benedict XVI says farewell to an audience of 150,000.
New Jersey's move marks a significant turning point in the debate over online gambling in the U.S., which has been raging for more than a decade. But while it could encourage similar measures in other states, big hurdles remain to widespread acceptance of such gambling.
Until a year ago, the federal government considered such gambling illegal and targeted online-gambling companies and their partners with criminal and civil lawsuits. But in 2011 the Justice Department reversed itself, prompting many states to consider legalizing online gambling and lottery directors to start selling tickets online.
That process has picked up steam in statehouses and executives' offices this year since an effort stalled in Congress to pass a law allowing online poker. The first regulated online-gambling networks in the U.S. are expected to be up and running this year in Nevada and Delaware.
Among the businesses eyeing legal online gambling are casinos, Indian tribes, lottery-technology firms, social videogame companies and even foreign-based gambling operators that previously were charged by the Justice Department with illegally taking online bets in the U.S.
Their road is likely to be a bumpy one, given the controversial nature of gambling and the variety of competing interests involved, say people involved in the process. In recent years states including California, Iowa and Mississippi have considered legalizing online poker or other forms of online gambling, but those efforts have been stalled by critics' concerns about an uptick in gambling addiction or other social ills, as well as infighting among gambling interests.
Though industry forecasts vary widely, H2 Gambling Capital, which tracks online-gambling markets, estimates that online gambling in New Jersey will generate revenue of $410 million the first year, growing to $590 million after a few years. Of the total, the state of New Jersey will collect a 15% tax.
The bigger opportunity could come from interstate gambling if more states legalize online wagering, but a variety of business and legal complications make that prospect hazy.
The New Jersey law allows the state's gambling regulators to find other ways to expand the pool of potential bettors beyond state borders, such as agreements—known as compacts—with other states.
In Nevada, where companies are about to set up in-state poker networks, Gov. Brian Sandoval last week rushed to sign a bill allowing the state to enter agreements with other states to pool poker networks.
"We have been at the forefront of online gaming here in Nevada," Mr. Sandoval said in video remarks to executives and government officials gathered last week at an online-gambling conference in Las Vegas. "With New Jersey [about to pass online gambling], the need for Nevada to act quickly has become even more important."
Such agreements, modeled after lottery compacts that create pooled drawings for games such as Powerball or Mega Millions, could be particularly useful for smaller states operating online poker by giving them access to more players.
Nevada and New Jersey may try to become regulatory hubs for other regions, officials and industry watchers say, allowing their licensed companies to have an advantage in other jurisdictions while sharing the revenues with other states.
Yet while simple in theory, creating interstate networks is likely to be tough since gambling is regulated state by state in varying ways, say people working on the issue. A state's gambling interests would be unlikely to want their state government to enter into deals that would put them at a disadvantage to interests in other states.
"Unless the states are willing to compromise and work together, you can see a lot of practical problems," Thomas Goldstein, an attorney who represents online-poker companies, said on a panel at an online-gambling conference last week.
"The size of the market will depend critically on what types of interstate relationships New Jersey is able to strike," Gary Loveman, chief executive of Caesars Entertainment Corp.

More quote details and news » , told analysts Monday.
Many other uncertainties remain as a regulated industry takes shape, such as how much legal online-gambling might cut into the conventional casino business, whether there will be a significant spike in gambling addiction as Internet gambling becomes more accessible, and whether geo-location, age-verification, antimoney-laundering and other monitoring systems will prove adequate.
Another key question will be whether companies with the most expertise and, in many cases, brand recognition in online gambling will participate in the newly legal market.
The most controversial company is PokerStars, which recently disclosed that it had agreed to purchase a casino in Atlantic City and had applied for a gambling license with New Jersey regulators. The company took poker bets in the U.S. until 2011 and built up an enormous following of eager poker players, contending that its actions were legal.
In 2011 the U.S. government sued PokerStars and indicted its founder, who has ceded operations to his son. The company has settled the civil suit. It continues to deny wrongdoing, says PokerStars attorney Jeff Ifrah.
Still, rivals see the company having an unfair advantage if New Jersey regulators grant it a license. In Nevada last week the governor signed a bill that would make it more difficult for the company to get a license in the state.
The move to online gambling marks Gov. Christie's latest attempt to revitalize Atlantic City. But the onetime East Coast gambling monopoly, hit hard in recent years by competition in nearby states, has proven resistant to many of his efforts. While optimistic that online gambling will help increase revenues for casino operators in Atlantic City due to the extra source of cash, analysts have been mixed on how great the impact will be.
Two Atlantic City casinos recently agreed to be sold for $20 million or less, according to people familiar with the sales, believed to be the lowest-ever prices for casinos in the city. The company that owns Atlantic City's newest and glitziest casino, Revel, recently said it would likely file for bankruptcy next month.
"This is a lifeline for the casino industry in Atlantic City, which has been in free fall," said New Jersey state Sen. Raymond Lesniak, who sponsored the online-gambling measure.

For the past year there have been worries that the FHA might require taxpayer money to pay off lender claims for loans gone bad. But now it may be that the economy has turned around and the FHA may well do better than anyone thinks.
Congress' attention and action right now: the millions of low-income families who rely upon federal housing assistance to keep a stable roof over their heads and are being threatened with losing access to these funds.
March 16 of this year I received a letter from Bank of America: "Although you have missed several of your monthly payments, it is not too late to get help. Please act quickly before time runs out." I suppose 40-odd missed payments can safely be counted as "several." But time running out? Methuselah should have such a surplus.
The FHFA just announced that it will no longer allow Fannie and Freddie to purchase or guarantee so-called "non-qualified" mortgages with more than 30 years amortization or that have interest only payments, among other restrictions.
Some myths persist even when people ought to know they aren't true. These falsehoods can be fun, unless they are about money -- in which case they can do a great deal of harm. Here are four financial "facts" you should always take with a grain of salt.
When lawmakers in March reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act--the landmark legislation that guarantees certain rights and protections for survivors of domestic violence--they expanded a rule to bar landlords from evicting survivors from any publicly-supported home.
Since 2007, Wall Street has evicted four million families -- approximately ten million people -- from their homes. Millions more are ensnared in ongoing foreclosures.
The love fest between Barack Obama and his top fundraiser Penny Pritzker that has led to her being nominated as Commerce secretary would not be so unseemly if they both just confessed that they did it for the money
Bob Kuttner has been among the country's most visible advocates of stimulus. His new book, Debtors' Prison: The Politics of Austerity versus Possibility is his latest shot at the austerity gang.
On the housing front, the good news is that the president wants Mel Watt to head the FHFA. The really bad news is that the problems in the U.S. housing system are currently so entrenched that, even if he is confirmed, Mel Watt will be hard-pressed to resolve them.
My home. Our homes. Real estate is back... if ever so slightly and I'm excited. Others may shout that "REAL ESTATE IS BACK!" with all the gusto of those almost always incorrect pundits I see on television.
As a parent of a 17 and 20 year old, I understand the balancing act of parenting teens. We still operate under those protective instincts we had when...
All told, about 90,000 Native families are homeless or under-housed on a given night, and Native communities nationwide face an immediate housing shortfall of 200,000 homes.
In 2008, FHA attempted to increase mortgage insurance premiums on low credit scores, and to reject scores less than 500 unless the loan-to-value ratio was 90 percent or less. The proposal was shot down by Congress. Premiums are scheduled to rise this year, but will not be scaled by credit score.
We are wary of used cars salesmen, but how conscious are we of the fact that almost everything we buy is sold to us by a commission-based broker who wins when they convince us to buy more than we came to purchase?
Responding to highly publicized flight delays from the "sequestration" budget cuts, the House and Senate have voted overwhelmingly to allow the Transp...

(JoAnn Whetsell) Comments about live performance:Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Hem play in St. Louis, at Blueberry Hill, in the Duck Room. This is the place where Chuck Berry plays every month. The stage is probably in around 15-30'. Not very big, but more than enough room for your standard 3-5 piece band.

There are moments when the album gets a little bogged down, and not all of the songs work, but most of it is incredibly beautiful. Especially worthy of mention are their covers of "Rainy Night in Georgia" and "So. Central Rain," which is slower, sadder, and perhaps more powerful than R.E.M.'s original. All of the live songs are excellent, particularly "Idle" (as close to rocking out as Hem gets).

New version working PERFECTLY with Virtual Training Space mission
Being able to spawn ANYTHING on the fly and making it an IED is cool !
I haven't seen any bugs that are showstoppers, in fact I haven't seen ANY bugs in the latest version.
Thanks for your patience albertors .... looks like it has paid off !
I'm really loving this script. Your suggested method did not work for me, so I haxxed around with it a bit, and got it working with James' Advanced IED script. At least it works for me testing it out. Not sure how it will affect MP. I got inspired by your way of detection in v.1.
One way to do it is to change James IED_MAN_v6.sqf script file.
At line 83 he has a "sleep 2;". Replace that line with the following code:
Now it is important to replace the sleep, as the 2 second sleep is insufficient time for the ied to get setup correctly and return as an object... That had me going for a while .Code://Initiate Reezo's "SR5 Tactical IED Detection and Remote Det script"; sleep 5; private ["_near","_nearCount","_Check_Types"]; _near = _iedpos nearObjects 2; _nearCount = count _near; _Check_types = ["BAF_ied_v1","BAF_ied_v2","BAF_ied_v3","BAF_ied_v4","BAF_IEDBox","Land_IED_v1_PMC","Land_IED_v2_PMC","Land_IED_v3_PMC","Land_IED_v4_PMC"]; for [{_y = 0},{_y < _nearCount},{_y = _y + 1}] do { { if ((_near select _y) isKindOf _x) then { nul0 = [(_near select _y)] execVM "scripts\IEDdetect\IEDdetect_add.sqf"; //the line below does not seem to work when trying to incorporate HOZ' disarm script. // HOZBOMBACT = (_near select _y) addAction ["Disarm Bomb", "HOZ_dabomb\scripts\ACT_dabombdlg.sqf", [player]]; }; } forEach _Check_types; };
With that working it should be no problem to further incorporate Hoz' script. I've added the line for good measure. Just setup Hoz script as allways, and uncomment the line under the one that says "uncomment line below" .
EDIT: Scratch that. I tried it and that didnt work.
The IED department is really shaping up real nice these days
Last edited by Nielsen; Jan 17 2011 at 05:18. Reason: Correction
Thanks guys! Getting all the positive energy I can, store it, go to bed, work tomorrow and get back home to try and do more stuff
I am absolutely thrilled when I know that you're loving this script
Here is my official update:
I've been trying to add a new variable event, so far we have:
1. Fake IED detected (rare)..after a while the instrument reports the inconsistency but it might take it up to 1 minute. This means in a mission it can REALLY make things more exciting like: "Guys! Stop! I am reading an IED down this alley, we have to etc.etc."
2. Real IED detected .. but nothing the instrument can do. It could also be a fake..who knows? So you can look at things both ways eheh fun.
3. Remote Det available .. this means the instrument can broadcast a disruptive wave that can set the IED off. An action will be available but you will have to stand at safety distance or the device will tell you "danger close, aborted". If you are too far, the device will tell you that it is unable to broadcast the wave with enough strenght to reach the IED. When the IED goes off, it GOES OFF, literally..but the power of the explosion could be low, medium or high, randomly selected.
4. Manual Defusal Required. This is the last addition to my script. Your tool reports the only way to defuse the IED is to go there and do it the dirty way. The IED starts beeping, so it makes it easier to find (could be your tool reporting a sort of proximity sound notification). Now, the script checks if the IED object is something an engineer can normally "defuse" by using the default action (BIS added this to IEDs and Mines for engineers, since v1.54). This is the "easy" defusal mode. If course the IED could be remotely triggered by a triggerman, so approaching it just because the tool says so is..unsafe to say the least.
If the IED is another object, like a car, box, wreck, pile of tyres etc.. then the "nasty" manual defusal is necessary. You get close to the IED and use the "Defuse" action. Your tool comes up and reports some readings..random numbers for the moment. These numbers change at random intervals, from 0.3 to 2 seconds..next to your tool is the "INJECT CODE" button. You have to press the button when (this is for the time being) the reading is an even number. This is fairly easy but as I said the numbers change at random intervals so good reflexes are a priority.
I am having a hard time with the Resource Dialogs, if anyone wants to help I can PM him the v1.4 script (WIP).
But I might get a hang of it so sit tight.
From here on we can build it even more, like different reading types or better:
Good nite everyoneevery time you inject during an even number you get a +1. Every click you make makes the next readings change more quickly. You get 5 readings, at the end if the score is positive you defuse it, otherwise..boom.
Thats a great idea. Looking forward to any updates!
A bit more feedback:
1. When the IED is detonated, the added action for remote detonation stays on it, and it doesnt get removed when executed. You just get the "Too far" hint.
2. I think it is cool that the script runs automated scans. Thats great for many scenarios. However I think that it would be nice with an option to make manual scans. It would be way cool if you could bring up the scanner (if possible not from the action menu) and hit a scan button. Maybe it would take a few seconds to get results. Or you could bring up the dialog, switch on the scanner, and the script would stay active while it was turned on. In that regard it would be nice if we could pause the script.
3. I really like the manual defusal idea. The "nasty defusal" sounds cool, and with that then who would want to be an engineer. I would rather have it be determined by class of unit than object though. So engineers can disarm the regular way to stay BIS compatible, everyone else has to do it the "nasty" way. That way we can still disarm regular ied's placed by another script the fun way

Loving the script!
Is there a way to set it so that all engineers including AI engineers have the ability to detect? The reason I ask is because in my mission I have a recruit AI script and I want people to be able recruit an engineer and it will have the detection ability.
Is this possible?
Just add the ieddetect init to every engineer et voilà.
Is there a isKindOf "engineer" ? I'm not a coder just a tinkerer.

One of the most common yet underrecognized autoimmune and rheumatological disorders, Sjogren's syndrome, or SjS, affects more people than rheumatoid arthritis and lupus combined. Difficult to diagnose, SjS is characterized by symptoms that shift almost daily, usually beginning with vague discomforts such as dry eyes and dry mouth, then advancing to more severe concerns such as joint pain and swollen glands.
A Body Out Of Balance provides a comprehensive guide to the wide array of symptoms, traditional and complementary treatments, and invaluable coping methods, so patients may devise a personal treatment plan. Cowritten by a woman living with the disease and by a physician who has treated countless SjS patients, this indispensable resource will enhance awareness and demystify this often misunderstood disorder.

I don't have a 120Hz LCD, only the little LCD in the bedroom and a plasma in the family room.
I can tell the difference between them. It's tough to notice between the 240Hz (LCD) and the 600Hz(plasma) but you can tell the difference between 120Hz and 240Hz.
After looking at things, it looks like I may just go with another plasma when the time comes.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2379206,00.aspSo the faster the refresh rate, the better the HDTV, right? More frames look smoother, right? In theory: yes. In marketing: very yes. In practice: not so much.
Pulldown and the Film-Video Dance
To answer those questions, you have to understand two important things about video. First, you can't add detail beyond what is already in the source footage. Second, the source footage is never greater than 60Hz. When you watch a movie on Blu-ray, it's a 1080p picture at 60 Hz. The disc displays 60 interlaced or 30 progressive frames at 1,920-by-1,080 resolution per second of video. For movies that were recorded on film, the original footage is actually 24 frames per second, upconverted to 30 frames through a process known as 2:3 pulldown. It distributes the source frames so they can be spread across 30 instead of 24 frames per second. Those frames are then interlaced (combined and shuffled) to 60 "frames" per second to match the 60Hz refresh rate of the vast majority of TVs you can buy today. In the case of 1080p60 televisions, the frames are pulled down to 60 full frames per second, and both the players and HDTVs outright skip any interlacing step.
This is a time-honored tradition, because American TVs have displayed 30 (actually, 29.97) frames per second and functioned at 60Hz since time immemorial. It's not really a problem, because between interlacing and frame pulldown, the process doesn't attempt to add information to the picture. It's simply converting it to function on the TV, because it wouldn't work otherwise. 1080p60 is the current high-end standard for HDTVs, and no commercial media exceeds that resolution or frame rate. In fact, many movies on Blu-ray even turn the frame rate down and display 1080p24, or 1,920-by-1080 video at 24 frames per second, to make the footage look as close to film as possible. The various refresh rate-increasing technologies on HDTVs destroy that effect.
Going Too Far
Enhanced refresh rates like 120Hz, 240Hz, and various other speed-boosting features on modern HDTVs, on the other hand, push the concept too far. Remember what I said earlier about not being able to add detail beyond what's in the source footage? That's exactly what those higher refresh rates do. They interpolate data between each frame to produce additional frames. But the data in those combined frames can only be based on the source frames and whatever mathematical magic the HDTV is employing to figure out the middle ground. This technique can help reduce judder, or the jerkiness that manifests when displaying footage on a display that doesn't share its native frame rate (like, for example, a 24-frame-per-second film clip pulled down to 30 fps, then interlaced to 60Hz). Some plasma HDTVs can even reach a 600Hz refresh rate, which, when you consider that the source footage is going to be between 24 to 60 frames per second, is downright overkill.
Actually, this effect can produce a distinctly artificial, unnatural feel to video. Motion can appear too smooth, almost dreamlike compared with the films and television shows we've spent decades teaching our brains to enjoy. Action can seem just slightly sped up to the point of looking unreal, and it can take you out of the experience quicker than any judder. Indeed, to many videophiles judder is just as natural as film grain, and a subtle but necessary part of watching TV and movies.
Do You Need Super-Fast Refresh Rates?
When flat-panel HDTVs were in their infancy, they suffered from motion blur. LCDs in particular tended to display distinct blurriness during very fast on-screen movements because of "ghosting," or the afterimage left after the image on the screen has changed. LCD technology has progressed a great deal over the past several years, and now ghosting and motion blur have been all but eliminated. If you've purchased an LCD HDTV in the last two years, it probably won't show noticeable blur at its standard 60Hz refresh rate.
Tastes can vary, and you might enjoy the potential judder-reducing, motion-smoothing effects of an HDTV with 120Hz or 240Hz modes. But they don't add any actual detail to the video, and they certainly shouldn't be considered dealbreakers when you're shopping for an HDTV. Even if you get a set that supports 120Hz or 240Hz (or even 480Hz or 600Hz) video modes, you might want to disable them, and watch the video without any interpolation or judder-reducing effects.
Not that it will be soon, but this or a similar version will probably be my next tv

"People who drink light "beer" don't like the taste of beer; they just like to pee a lot."
Keeping size, brand, and hopefully features nearly the same, here's the power consumption for:
a 42" Panasonic Plasma:
a 42" Panasonic LCD:
a 42" Panasonic LED LCD:
So there IS a difference in power consumption...
now going off this:
lets say DTE charges about 12cents per kWh (I'm adding the delivery charge + supply charge to get that).
Now lets say on avg the TV is on 4hrs/day x 365 days a year (1460 hours a year)...
(293W x 1460hr) /1000 = 427.78 KwH consumed * $0.12 = $51.33/year electricity cost
(213W x 1460hr) /1000 = 310.98 KwH consumed * $0.12 = $37.32/year
(131W x 1460hr) /1000 = 191.26 KwH consumed * $0.12 = $22.96/year electricity cost
so yeah, there's a difference... But if my math is correct (And it might be wrong, please correct me if i'm wrong, that's is how I guessed it works though) the difference between a current gen Plasma and a current gen LED is about $30/year.
Don't think that's a significant electricity cost when looking at the big picture of the normal household energy costs, lol.
took the plunge today, purchased the panasonic 55ST30 , paid $1k

"Nice but..."
The owners have obviously spent some money refurbishing this hotel, the housekeeping was fantastic, and the front desk was helpful, but... The refrigerator froze everything we put in it even though we had ended up with it on the least cold setting possible AND the free breakfast was a joke: raisin bran or cheerios, nothing else. If they would simply […] make breakfast worthwhile, I would go back,. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"good clean"
was easy clean and comfortableAvis certifié Hotels.com
It's a shame that small dogs are not allowed. this could be one exception to choose another hotelAvis certifié Hotels.com
very bad hotel, had bad smell all over the hotel. will never stay there again.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"pay a little more and get a whole lot more"
wife was crying about the small supposed suite. I've seen closets larger than this room... well almost. Save your money and spend a little bit more and get a whole lot more. Probably appropriate for teenagers not adults.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"very good"
it was ok, room clean, it has everything you need.. near the beachAvis certifié Hotels.com
"It was close to all sights and the beach"
For the price it was O.K. The bed was clean and comfortable. Air conditioner was a bit noisy. The bathroom was clean enough, but could of been a bit cleaner. We only needed a place to sleep and shower and for that it was great. The internet was down during our whole stay and that was inconvenient. When we ask the staff about it, we were told it "might" […] come back online. But it never did. The free breakfast offered was cold cereal, but the Grapevine cafe was just down the steet and offered a wide array of breakfast foods. The staff were friendly but not overly helpful. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
The room was very small. The pillows were extremely thin. To get an extra towel you have to sign the log at the front desk. I was not satisfied at all with the hotel.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Clean basic accomodations."
The hotel provided a clean basic room and it was close to everyplace we wanted to go. We found the beds to be comfortable enough and the AC worked well, if a bit noisy. There wasn't much of a breakfast but we weren't planning to eat breakfast there anyway. The only real minus was lack of internet connectivity in the room; they need to spread a few more […] wireless routers around in the hotel to ensure all rooms have connectivity. We were on the second floor at one of the far ends of the hotel and the signal from the lone router was too weak to connect. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
Made reservation so i wont go thru to much they gave me a room on 3rd floor carrying my luagges i see the room was occupiled so here i go back down to 1st floor with all my luggage the clerk said oh the other worker didnt tell him it toom 15minute to get another roomAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Great Stay"
No complaints. A but outdated, but clean, friendly staff, and near everything!Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Walking distance to the beach"
For the price, it was a great deal. My wife enjoyed her stay and loved the ability to walk to the beach and watch the fireworks. First time staying, but I would recommended it. It is older, smells like mildew, but once you get past that and realize you're only paying a fraction compared to the guests in the high rise condos.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Good for a place to shower and sleep"
Very basic, it has what you need, bed, couch, tv, air con, shower....restroom smelled a little funky but it has what you need for a beach trip. KCCOAvis certifié Hotels.com
Overall, stay was ok. Hotel was old and could use some simple updates that would improve the stay considerably. Continental breakfast only consisted of cereal and toast. Name suggested beachside. Not true but only two blocks from beach.Avis certifié Hotels.com
Friendly staff and nice & clean rooms would stay there againAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Its worth the cost"
I understand that the hotel is not awesome but the price is great. Keeping that in mind the cost for the room makes the experience worth it. The hotel overall is clean and has a good size pool. The room is clean and big enough, the biggest thing is that if you are looking for a good bed its just not going to happen. Our bed caved in towards the center, […] but they have a a great windowsill which is very comfortable...Again for the price you pay its all fine. The thing that i disliked was there "continental breakfast" all they had was bread so you can toast and 2 types of cereal and coffee... The big question, would I stay again?.. Yes its not like your in the hotel much anyways your out being with your family and friends in the beach!! Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"Close to shopping."
Room had an old, musty odor. Like mildew and mold. Carpet is getting wet often from the pool or the beach. Also the sand. We had to ask for extra towels often to lay on the floor.Avis certifié Hotels.com
I enjoyed it for my 11 year anniversary which was close to the beach :)Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Good for an overnight stay"
We booked at last minute. It was good for an overnight stay. The room was very clean but it had a hard bed. Some of the lights were burnt out or the switches did not work. We were given a handicap room, although we did not need it. Perhaps, because we booked at last minute and that is all they had left. Overall, it was OK. The hotel is walking distance […] to a very nice beach access. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"I felt dirty"
The place was horrible. I never saw a staff on board, the breakfast was a joke, the rooms were old dirty and never been updated. The beds were sunk in. And there was stains on the wall and elevator that kind of looked like poo! :( so ugly! Never again.Avis certifié Hotels.com
The continental breakfast was a loaf of bread, coffee and watered-down concentrate orange juice. Yuck.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Worth 27 dollars a night"
Looks great from outside. Real scummy inside. Not worth your time unless you plan on just partyingAvis certifié Expedia
"Exceeded Expectations"
We didn't have the budget to stay in the "nice" hotels, and we were leery because the reviews were mixed. We stayed 4 nights in the suite with the sink, cabinets, roll-out bed, and a little table. We had extra sheets, blankets and pillows because we didn't use the roll out bed. Everything was clean. We had more room than what we thought we would. We […] never heard any of our neighbors even though we were close to the pool. We didn't use the housekeeping while we were there, and they always let us switch out our dirty towels for clean whenever we ran into the housekeeping cart. The ONLY negative I have is that the free WIFI was really bad and I was fortunate that I didn't have to rely upon it to do something important. I will definitely seek out staying there again in the future. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com

I hate to say but the hotel was in poor condition. Or room walls was cracking and caving in, with mildew along side of the walls. Our soiree did not work and we had no stopper for the tub. We ended up standing in the tub and trying to take a bath with the water running. Also our beds was warped to one side so we were sleeping on top of each other.

Very expensive for what they afford, too old and dirty!Avis certifié Expedia
"nice little bargain hotel"
Pretty satisfied with this hotel. Not really an impressive place, but if you are planning to spend most of your time out & about, this is a satisfactory place to keep your stuff & sleep. It is pretty easy walking distance to the beach (but not really the "tourist-y" area, which was fine with us) and right on the main strip, so it's easy to walk to restaurants […] & shops. Good bargain. Would definitely do it again. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
The rooms were not clean.We found hair in the tub and sink.The floors didn't look vacuumed. There was a toothpick on the floor.The pillow and sheets had stains.The sheets smelled like chlorine.They charge for everything extra.We couldn't even get a blanket without charge.You can't get extra towels.Not much choice of food for breakfast.They turn the […] machines off where you can't even get water if you want.They remove all the cups.Had a sign that the ice machine was broken and it wasn't.They didn't want anyone using it the doors at the end of the halls were not locked anyone could come in.No lights in the parking lot.It was one of the worst hotels I've stayed in , in many years.

"Cheap, but clean"
Very close to the beach, just a block away and close to good restaurants. The room was clean, but not very inviting, very 1970's motel. One of the beds had a huge dip in it, but we rested well enough. It was clean, the staff was very friendly, but I would not stay here again. One word of caution, bring toiletries as those are not provided.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Ok location but room was Nasty"
We were booked for 2 nights but left after 1. The room was clean but there was mold that was just painted over, one of the beds was broken and only 2 of the lights in the whole room worked. Spend the extra money and stay somewhere on the Beach. This was 3-4 blocks away from the public access.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Ok but not great"
The door to the room would not close correctly because the door frame was broken and I had to straiten it and force the screw back in place each time I tried to close it. I had to use the key card to turn the door handle each time I left the room to make sure it would close and lock. Clean towels were easy to replace as long as you counted them and […] went to the front desk. The water in the shower smelled of chlorine. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com

This is our second stay at Beachside Inn. We stayed with family in multiple rooms a few years ago before the hurricane. This year we decided to go to South Padre again and only needed two rooms. Clean linens, rooms, restrooms. Quiet as well! The staff was very friendly and very quick to respond to my only concern. Our A/C stopped cooling one of the […] nights we were there. Within a few minutes, they gave us a choice to stay in the room while they made repairs, or to move to a new room. We chose the latter.

You get exactly what you pay for in this hotel. The carpets are dirty and the comforters were definitely not washed. The pillows smelled. The continental breakfast included toast and cereal.

It is within walking distance to the beach […] We will not be staying here again. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"Would definitely go back!"
I can't really think of anything bad to say. I guess the only bad thing is the breakfast. They only served cereal and toast, would have loved at least a bagel or english muffin. We came down on a Wednesday and left on a Saturday (would have stayed even longer, but the prices went WAY up). The room was not that clean. We found a lot of trash and food […] left from previous people, but that was not really an issue for us. There were not any bugs (at all) and the staff was incredible. They were nice and helpful and I would definitely go back. We were within walking distance to the beach but since there was so many access points we just drove each time to be closer. The pool and hot tub were open and very nice and we used them both. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"It was a terrible experience"
I was given a room and the a/c was out was moved to another room, which the door did not lock properly, as a result another guest entered my room and took some of my belongings, I do not recommend this hotel.Avis certifié Expedia
"Nice hotel close to the beach"

Widnes Vikings coach Denis Betts is confident he can get the career of controversial England international Gareth Hock back on track.
The 29-year-old back-row forward joined the Vikings on a season-long loan after Wigan Warriors revealed he had effectively walked out on them.
Hock spent 17 years with his home-town club after joining them at the age of 12 and had three years left on his contract, but has almost certainly played his last match for them after Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan revealed details of a major bust-up.
Betts, who played alongside a young Hock in the latter days of his Wigan career and briefly coached him at Central Park, says the Warriors' loss is definitely the Vikings' gain.
"I've worked with him," he told Press Association Sport. "I know what his strengths are and I also know what his weaknesses are.
"I believe we've people here who can help get the best out of him. He's a great player, a great trainer and he plays every week. They're the kind of qualities we're looking at.
"I'm made up that he chose to come here. Gareth has presence and an ability to turn a game."
Lenagan, who stood by the player in 2009 when he was handed a two-year ban for using cocaine, claims Hock expected the Warriors to sack him when he refused to return to training in the winter.
He says Hock demanded a wage rise in mid-season and then insisted on being given permission to join Australian club Parramatta for 2013.
That move fell through because the clubs were unable to agree a transfer fee and Lenagan says Wigan turned down bigger offers from their Super League title rivals before accepting the move to the Vikings, who finished bottom of the table in 2012.
Wigan, who have retained Hock's registration and inserted a clause preventing him from playing against them, say they will receive "a significant ongoing fee" from the Vikings, but Betts is delighted with the deal and hopes to keep the player beyond the end of the season.
"I've no opinion on what happened at Wigan," Betts said. "All I know is that Gareth was available.
"It's not cost us any money, it's a loan deal. We're not a club who can afford to pay substantial fees.
"We'd like to secure him for longer but at this time Wigan weren't willing to go into that. Maybe they still see him as part of their future, I don't know.
"There is a clause in there that gives us an opportunity to talk to Wigan at a point within the season."
Hock, who has set his sights on playing for England in the World Cup later this year, insists there is still a chance of him fulfilling his Australian dream in 2014.
"I had my mind set on going but it fell through at the last minute," he said. "There is still that option there for next year so I'll have a look at it then, after the loan deal."
Hock, who has made 169 Super League appearances for the Warriors, made a successful return from his drugs ban in 2011, going on to win a place in the 2012 Dream Team and reclaim his England spot for the autumn internationals.
He has linked up once more with former Wigan stand-off Kevin Brown, his brother-in-law with whom he is currently lodging, but pointed to the presence of Betts as the key factor in his decision to move to the Halton Stadium.
"As a junior working my way through the ranks at Wigan, Denis was a first-team regular at the time and somebody I genuinely looked up to," he said.
"To later have him as my coach was fantastic and, when the chance of rejoining him at Widnes came around, I didn't need asking twice."
Hock is currently sidelined with a shoulder injury but hopes to make his Widnes debut in round two of Super League against St Helens at the Halton Stadium on February 10.

OAuth and the Opera Widget Container
I've been playing around with Open-Auth Javascript libraries in order to manipulate a number of social network API's - but without going much further I have a conceptual issue with the interop of the widget container and the native brower on the device which makes me think that it just won't work on a mobile without heavy fiddling.
During the OAuth protocol exchange you basically request an authentication token from the service, and then redirect the end-user to a URL to challenge them for their credentials. This is hosted by the service, and may well have a "mobile" page for this (eg: m.tripit.com).
However, from previous experience, you might serve up a link within your mobile widget (running inside the widget container) but clicking on it will launch the native browser. The user challenge is therefore taking place inside another device application - so can you return control back to the widget to continue the OAuth protocol exchange? I'm guessing not.
Has anyone tried any OAuth authentication initiated from within a mobile widget?
