Does this adapter carry analog signals, converts it, or uses apple trickery?
This is really bugging me. I want to hook my unibody mbp up to my tv via composite cable. Composite is roughly the analog components of VGA. VGA is analog, correct? but the pin-out on the mini display port does not specify a dedicated analog path. but it does have vague reverences to non-video data lines (pin 2 and 4)
I have tried mini DP ->DVI-I adapter, to a DVI-I -> component cable with no success. (implying no analog present at all)
so, how is analog getting out of the port for VGA? is there a feedback resistor inside the adapter which is communicating with the video card to specify digital for the DVI-d adapter, and analog for the VGA adapter? what this all is implying to me is you only get analog out of the graphics card with a VGA adapter and only digital with the DVI-d.- Asked by Tucker P from Loveland

HI all, After all the trash that the HC has put out lately, I was pleasantly surprised at this. Back before the discovery of the family link to G.K. Warren, I was a big time student and reader of the War in the West. As a result I became quite familiar with W.T. Sherman. So when this was first announced I was a bit reluctant to even watch it. But the more I followed the production of it, and then Javals review, I decided to watch it with an open mine. I am glad I did. Though it has its faults (Sherman/Grant vs Grant and Cump,) and the lack of acknowledgement of Shermans attachment to the South in nothing more then general terms, (Yes I think it should have been noted that he was the Superintendant of what was to become LSU), it was worth it. I am with Javal on this. We so often are ready to rip HC when it screws up. This time. They did a good job. Problems ? Yes. But it warrants an "Attaboy" to the HC and its producers. Heck I have wondered if they would consider doing something on the Warren Court of Inquiry or even Porters. Jim |

I, personally, have no fight or criticism of the History Channel. I like most of the shows they air. It's true, when writting history, it is difficult to portray all aspects of the subject so that it is all things to all people. This difficulty is enlarged when it is packed into an hour or two hour television program. Some things, due to time constraints, must naturally be cut out or otherwise overlooked. Having said that, I wish to clarify and rationalize my earlier criticism of the "Sherman/Grant" vs "'Cump/Sam" aspect. I, personally, would have liked to see more familiarity in their name calling. But, not only was the show written for Civil War buffs/historians (like us on this comment board), it was also written for those with limited knowledge and/or perhaps a limited budding knowledge about the war in detail; hence the simplicity of using last names. I like the History Channel and wish they would produce more Civil War related programming. If they do that, then I'll be less likely to ignore some of their shows and instead watch A&E re-runs of "The Sopranos". |

Hi My understanding is that he used the word "refine". The producers/writers for the show might have decided that reform would be easier to understand by a 21st Century audience. As far as Sherman.s decision NOT to march on Augusta, he never intended to. He wanted to threaten it as well as Macon so that the Confederates would divide their available troops to defend them and NOT be able to unite those troops to threaten or hinder his advance. I was wondeing if and when the program will be available on DVC or videocassette since we don't get the History Channel in Canada. |

Albert You're correct that Sherman was superintendent of Louisiana Seminary (pedecessor to my L.S.U.) but I believe it was in Pineville just across the Red River. I agree with the majority of posts in that the History Channel did a good job, didn't confuse the facts, etc. As one of my my many tangential comments, L.S.U. got the name Tigers from the LA ANV regiments in the late 1900's. Am I mistaken or did I read somewhere that Sherman cried when he heard that the southern states had succeeded. If Sherman have a deep affinity for the south how does one understand his tactics during his Georgia/South Carolina campaigns only that they were the only methods available to him in speeding the end of the war without increasing the loss of lives.

Sherman generally liked southerners, but he hated those who defied the authority of the United States Government. His belief was that the more cruel he made the war, the sooner it would be over and the country reunited. The March to the Sea could be viewed as psychological warfare to show the Confederates that they did not have the power to resist him. He didn't want to fight armies, even jokingly offering to give Hood rations if he would go away. In the end, the March was warfare against the minds and property of the southerners. Very few crimes were committed against people by Sherman's men, though they could have taught the Vandals a thing or two about destroying property. When southerners recognized defeat, Sherman was kind. His terms given to Joseph E. Johnston's army were very generous. He would welcome back all those who submitted to: "Legitimate authority." (The US Governement, etc.). |

Kent: That was my point, that some of the research was sloppy. The "reform" quote I've only seen on the Internet all the good boiographies have used "refine." So did they use Internet sources for their script? I was just throwing out that IMO not going to Augusta was a flaw in Sherman's strategy. He destroys the mill there and the ANV is out of gunpowder before the end of 1864, war ends sooner. Millidgeville was a much lesser target of strategic importance. Indy: I believe Sherman was a man of contradicitons and the show pointed that out nicely, i.e. blowing up soldiers with mines is an outrage but driving civilians out of Atlanta (which the show did not mention but should have) and burning their homes and stealing all their food is not controversial. Total war today is not viewed as revolutionary as it was to the 19th century mindset. Plus his attitudes toward his family, hometown, religion, slaves and southerners always have seemed contradictory in many ways too. |

I cannot say for sure how Sherman addressed Grant. However, I tend to believe that he called him: "Sam," since they were at West Point together for one year. (Sherman being three years ahead). That is where he got the nickname. While it isn't proof, Sherman had a bay horse named: "Sam" that might have been named for Grant. That is additional circumstantial evidence. |

Millidgeville was a much lesser target of strategic importance. David (my only favorite Aggie): After Atlanta fell, Sherman didn't really need to go to Augusta. It was all but finished as a supplier to the AoNV. The only thing left to do was to cut its RR north. Besides, Augusta was defended and Sherman wanted nothing to do with fighting on this trip. The point of the trek was to prove that the Confederacy couldn't protect its own territory. Having to fight his way to Savannah would have been counterproductive. I consider his deceptions masterful. Pour troops into Augusta. Ooops, he's not going there. Lock up Charleston. Ooops. He's not going there. I have no doubt, and I suspect you don't either, that he could and would have crushed any real opposition if it had been placed in his way. I figure he just wanted to end the war with as little killing as possible. He would cheerfully put you through hell, but he really didn't want to kill you to do it. Never mind the hype; underneath it all, he was a gentle man. Ole |

Bravo Ole, excellent post. In regards to the question over the names that Grant and Sherman used for each other during conversation, I was instantly reminded of an exchange between the two of them at Shiloh. The conversation took place on the evening of April 6th as Sherman approached Grant to discuss retreating across the Tennessee River. When he saw the look on Grant's face he changed his tack to learn his commander/friend's mood Sherman: "Well Grant, we've had the devil's own day, haven't we?" Grant: "Yes. Lick em tomarrow though." |

Ole: That's not my understanding about the ANV and their powder supply. Augusta was the place in the eastern Confederacy for gunpowder, if not Augusta, where was Lee getting his supply of gunpowder? Sherman's feints were good, if unnecessary (did he really have to worry about feinting Joe Wheeler and the Georgia Militia in that situation?). But Augusta was the one Center of Gravity that was the most important target in the region. It was completely unmolested and it is my understanding was making and shipping gunpowder until the end of the war. Take it out in Novemeber 1864 and the ANV runs out of powder by the end of the year, per the books I've read. Today as an Airpower strategist (assuming I could get a wing of B-52s back to 1864) Augusta is a day one, day 2 at the very latest, target in the Confederacy for me in late 1864. Sherman completely ignored it and that was a strategic error that prolonged the war. As references for my belief the powderworks was still shipping and producing powder until the end and that taking it off line would have starved the ANV of powder within a month, I cite: Never for Want of Powder: http://www.sc.edu/uscpress/2007/3657.html and the commander's George Washington Rains memoirs: History of the Augusta Powder Works Rains worked miracles at Augusta and is one of the unsung heroes of the war.

You are quite correct, Mr. White. Augusta was the place for powder. However, all the rails through Atlanta were gone. Augusta could have survived for a while, but powder wasn't what Lee needed most -- he needed food. (1/8 rations wouldn't keep my wife's dog alive.) I still believe he wanted to traipse cross-country without serious confrontation. Doing battle in Augusta looks like a good idea, but two months later he had cut the RR to Virginia without losing much more than a double handful of bummers in the process. I'll agree that Augusta was a logical target, but it wasn't Sherman's intention to expend ammunition along the way. How was he to replace it? No. He wanted to show the Confederacy that it was finished -- a message that didn't need newspapers for its delivery. Ole |

Sherman split into two wings plus the center for at least two reasons. One, which we've already discussed in here, was to spread the opposition so thin that he could handle them easily. I believe he must also have considered the foraging opportunities. One army of 60 thousand probably couldn't have found enough food within a reasonable range. But split into three parts, spread across 40-60 miles, they could find more food and animal feed. I enjoyed the program, and I'm glad the History Channel produced it. The fact that we spotted some errors and omissions means only that we're GOOD, aren't we? TV is first of all for entertainment, not a degree in Civil War history. So let's take it for what it was, not for what it wasn't. Patty |

The Suzuki SuperBike Showdown was owned by Rockstar Makita Suzuki. Blake Young and his GSX-R1000 come away from Road America in Braselton, Georgia, with the maximum amount of points possible after taking the pole, leading the most laps, and winning both races. Blake's teammate Tommy Hayden also had a solid weekend and took second and third respectively, furthering his run at the championship. Blake started the weekend off right, earning the pole position by setting the fastest lap time in qualifying. He and his GSX-R1000 were on point all weekend. Young led every lap of the race on Sunday, despite a heated battle with the second-place rider who couldn't manage to overtake Blake and his Suzuki. Young led every lap on Saturday and earned that point, and he also earned the pole position point, and then earned the win. Tommy Hayden finished third on Sunday, making it a double podium weekend for him and his GSX-R1000. Hayden was consistent on the track, and his bike performed smoothly. He never allowed the riders behind him to catch up, holding tight to his position throughout the race. Hayden's bike hugged the track as they put in solid lap times throughout the 20-lap race. Hayden is now only four points out of first place for the 2010 championship. On Saturday, Young won after the AMA assessed a penalty to a rider who jumped the start. Hayden wound up second on Saturday, making it a double podium weekend for the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team. The next race takes place at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., on May 14-16.

This post is lacking in content dear reader. It's a post about desire. My current object of desire is a Smith and Wesson Model 327 TRR8 revolver. When I first saw it I just knew I had to have it. I will not be able to get it this year but I definitely will have the opportunity next year. So you may be asking yourself why am I talking about this large frame .357 revolver if I don't have it in my hands to extol it's virtues to those of you who are not fortunate to have one? Well I just wanted to say that I really want it and I can't wait to get it. That is it, nothing more. In the mean time cast your eyes upon this hand cannon that the Australian Road Warrior Mad Max would be proud of.

Just thought I'd post up this pseudo log as much for motivation for me as anything else.
Quick supp background - previously, and still on creatine (ragnarok most recently) so any increased effectiveness from CRE-02 over "normal" creatine should be apparent, or the lack of any increased effectiveness for that matter (boo hiss). Tried a prime run at recommended dosing but without the days off and got nothing worth writing home about.
Have two more bottles of prime lying around which might as well get used - am dosing at 9 a day 5 days a week, started last week so I could get it all loaded up. Starting prime also coincided with switching up my workout to a 3 day week, although many of the exercises I've been doing in one form or another for months prior. I've used Sustain alpha before for several months, it never did a huge amount for actual strength but i love how much better i feel while on it. It also does seem to help me keep a bit of fat off the gut believe it or not.
Pics will go here when I get my camera back on friday (effectively end of week 2 pics of the new regime):
*imagine big buff sexy man beast*
Current weight (as of this morning) 184lbs on the money. You can estimate bodyfat for yourselves when I post pics because I have no clue.
Current stack in total:
- Prime (high dose)
- Purple Wraath
- Ragnarok
- MST ZMK/MVP and somnidren
- Sustain Alpha
I will be adding CRE-02 when it arrives, which should be early next week, and will drop out Ragnarok. I will be continuing to use MVP/ZMK but when the somnidren runs out in i guess a week or two it's gone (for now).
My goal is to eventually hit around 195lbs and then I might let myself try an epi/havoc pulse. I don't expect to hit 195 in this log mind! I'm also, obviously, trying to get stronger.
Anyone laughing at the lack of weight moving on my leg days shall be... well... nothing really. But you'll hurt my feelings. I'm trying to bring them up to speed but years of neglect has left them lacking. What can I say, I'm trying to right my past wrongs but it takes time!

Weber Grill - Chicago
Online Reservations
Food was perfect! The rib meat just fell from the bone and the brisket and meatloaf were phenomenial. Desert was beautifully put together and delicious as well. Love this place! Right up the stairs from the Grand Red line CTA stop.
Had the combo with ribs and chicken; every morsel was tasty and just the right quantity of food.
The food is worth the wait but this place is such a gem, if you don't have reservations, you might not get in for an hour or more.
...well, maybe. I didn't think it was anything special; although the decor and atmospere pleasantly surprised me. Food is just normal grill fare. Well prepared, but nothing that wowed me. Our waitress provided exceptional service and a warm smileevery time she stopped at the table. The place was busy, but she stayed friendly and accomodating all evening.
The food was well prepared and tasted great. Service was also very good. Will definitely be back.
Really enjoyed our experience, food and service were great!
We had a great time! Wait staff was attentive. Food was delicious and served at apprpriate temperature.
My fiancee and I came to Weber's Grill for a date night out and this place was a amazing! We had reservation for 7:30 pm, showed up about 7:15 and were sat before 7:30 pm. The service was great and the food was fantastic. I will be visiting this place again and I highly recommend it to away looking for a great dinner.
We enjoyed fantastic ribs. The choice of side dishes, which are included, is a bit limited Mashed or fries, but no baked. Broccoli but no carrots and string beans. Other choices include a well received very cheesy mac and cheese and baked beans. The appetizer of spicy shrimp had 4 smallish size shrimp with a big load of onion rings to fill the plate. A real disappointment at $8.50. Service was acceptable but we had to ask the waiter over to get drink refills. If you like a quiet to moderate noise level, ask for the room that faces Grand Avenue.
We were seated in a booth near the grills. This is great for people watching, but it's really loud there. If you want a quiet, romantic dinner, don't let them seat you there. I'd say the meats were cooked perfectly, but the sides weren't all that great. Our broccoli was cold and undercooked. Maybe they intend to serve broccoli as a cold appetizer at veggie bar, but it was nasty to us. The french fries were way overcooked. The fries were crunchy & hard like potato chips. But the steak, chicken, brisket were very good. It was a mixed bag. We had a great waiter, and good drinks. Just wished they paid more attention to our side items. Spent a little over $200 with drinks and tip. For that price, you expect sides to be better.
Totally different kind of a restaurant with excellent food and service. Wish I had one in Atlanta. The grill makes the dish. Love the sampler appetizer.
Had a Great Meal. Appetizer platter was amazing!!! Crab Cakes not the best but I would not expect that to be their specialty. Overall I would recommend to family as friends.
I made my reservations through opentable and they honored my request and lived up to our expectations. Everything was ready when we arrived. And our server did every well serving a party of 14. The food was tasty and served hot and in a timely manner. The atmosphere was great as well. My only compliant would be the seating space. We were a little craped so a little more space would've been nice. But it was an overall good experience. We would recommend to others
You should make reservations to go, but if you don't mind waiting, it's worth it!
Recommend this very highly. They were on time, pleasant and the food was first rate
The Weber Grill as you would expect uses Weber grills to cook your food. The long narrow layout shows off the food cooking area and has large, round grills in use. Even the lighting over this area is made from Weber grill lids. The walls have grill themed lighting and signage. All in all, they do a great job of promoting that this is all about the grill! I would recommend a steak here - although they serve other entrées. Steaks were cooked to perfection, and all in my party felt they were some of the best steaks they've had in a long time.
We were in town for a show and were not familiar with the area. The restaurant was easy to find for these out of towners. We had to wait just a few minutes to be seated which was no problem. The service was amazing! Very friendly server and quick to answer questions and make recommendations. When we had questions about where our theater was from the restaurant, two servers were quick to help us out. And the food....amazing!!! The mac and cheese was the best I have ever eaten. Yum!! We will definitely be back.
I would reccomend this place to all my family and friends. My waiter was good on time with my food abd I was happy and I would go again
The food and staff set Weber Grill were wonderful! There was backed up traffic due to the lights parade snd they still honored our reservation even though we were late. We will definitely come back!!!
We were delayed by heavy traffic from the festival of lights. Despite our tardiness, we were seated within a few minutes. The food was delicious my seasoned and hot. We had an assortment of entrees...everything from ribs, chicken and brisket. Everyone enjoyed the experience. Our waitress was superb.
I really enjoyed all the food, service and ambiance. I thought it was a bit pricy. I wanted to get a syeak but I didn't want to pay $50.00 for a steak.
I get to Chicago at least once a year. I always try to get here. Never had a bad meal. They even have lamb chops back on the menu. This time my wife and I split a tenderloin. Delicious. Restaurant was very busy on a Sunday night. m
We really enjoyed our dinner at Weber Grill in Downtown Chicago. Our party of 4 had various steaks, ribs and sausages and all were well prepared, delicious and presented by a good wait-staff. I will definitely get there again the next time I'm in Chicago.
The grilled turkey was great! A nice twist on this holiday favorite!!
Food was great. Service was even better. It was an excellent was to spend a Thanksgiving evening.
We ate there for Thanksgiving dinner - the food was very good as was the service! Will go back again!
Top notch server...food was ok but it was Thanksgiving so you have to expect it. We would definately return.
I went there with my mother for Thanksgiving and the service was fantastic despite it being very, very busy. Our server was very knowledgable and helpful and wasn't trying to rush us. The Thanksgiving meal options were great and big portions.
Thank you for making the Thanksgiving Dinner special for the family!
Had Thanksgiving Dinner with my sons and the only thing to say is that everything was just amazing..
Best turkey and food off the menu was exceptional. Server Amy was friendly and efficient. Great experience!!
Enjoyed Thanksgiving Day Feast of Grilled Turkey with butternut squash soup, trimmings and dessert. Despite the crowd, the meal was delicious and service was excellent.
We had a reservation, thankfully since they were booked for the night, but they also recommended reservations on their website for anyone who had looked into it. We arrived early and were seated within minutes. The service was great and the food was delicious.
The food was superb as well as the service and atmosphere. Have to Thank the folks that arranged a last minute reservation to accommodate our 80 yr old friend. Not only was the wait very short, but the table we had could not of been in a better spot in the restaurant. Thank you for making our Thanksgiving dinner PERFECT...
Weber Grill was just terrific for our Thanksgiving Dinner. It was very busy but the place is extremely well managed, well staffed and has a real great energetic vibe. The Thanksgiving spread was superb; delicious rolls with cheddar butter, super creamy yet light squash soup, smoked turkey breast, delicious mashed sweet potatoes, roasted asparagus and sauteed brussel sprouts, stuffing deliciously spiced with bits of tangy sausage, cranberries marinated in mandarin. It was just all outstanding and very filling with very large portions. Took enough turkey home for sandwiches and the chocolate pecan pie desert we had the next evening at home and was a real treat. Really made our Thanksgiving special. The staff too are pros and very nice.
Once again on our traditional Thanksgiving and Black Friday in Chicago, we dined at weber. Lamb Chops and Skirt steak as usual and both were great although we commented on how the Skirt Steak has shrunk over the years. waiter was fine, but we wished we had had the guy at the next tables who seemed sensational.
The food, service and experience was great. We came for a late lunch and the service was wonderful and the burgers were the best we had during our trip. Definately would recommend it to others!
Originally made reservations for 8, was easy to adjust since we actually ended up with 10 people. Had 2 small children along and they were accommodated nicely. Food was very good, our server was patient and friendly. We were seated within 5 minutes of our reservation time. We were delighted with the level of service of all the staff.
The weber grill was fun and good!!! We recommend it!!!
This place could really use a total make over in this highly competitive area but the bar is good for a burger and watching sports. The unique offering of Weber grilling is sort of lost and off base in the modern world of River North restaurant innovations but the food here is good and service is good - it just totally lacks any external appeal as you walk past - does not look good from outside and has no "hipness factor" and does not even look like a solid casual neighborhood place to hang - you would never feel tempted to enter the unattractive outside decor - but if you do its really just fine. The bar is the place to be IMHO.
I have walked past this location and I'm glad I had a chance to celebrate my birthday at this location. Service was very nice and the quality of the food was great. Will visit again.
We had a great time at Weber Grill. The food was excellent! My steak was perfect, my friends was a tiny bit overdone (medium vs. medium rare) but not worth sending back. Salads and appetizers were great, and they had a wine special 50% off. We had a Silver Oak Cabernet for the price of retail or even less. What a nice surprise that was.
We dined as a group. The restaurant was very busy but our service was good. Drinks from the bar was excellent! Everyone's food was amazing! Loved it and will fine there again!
The service was outstanding and the food was as one always expects when coming to this restaurant, Great. Our only wish is that they would open one in Los Angeles.
Reservation ready as expected. My wife ordered the pork chop and I had the small cut prime rib. Both were outstanding and grilled to perfection. This was our first visit but will not be our last.
My husband and I always enjoy the food here and the portions are perfect (not enormous).
Our second time at the restaurant. The second visit was even better than the first.
Good food and great prices. Excellent service. Lots of space around the tables. It was also busy, but not so much that it put us off.
Love this place, it's tends to be a must go to when out of town guests are visiting and we enjoy taking them here- the menu changes up seasonally but some of the staples are always a winner ( ie Beer Can Chicken and any great cut of steak). Always pleased with the food and the service.
After a short wait we enjoyed the bruschetta and pretzel rolls. The entries were prepared perfectly. I would highly recommend the grilled beets. Service was very good. And the macadamia brownie dessert was exceptional.

Facebook Enables 'Photo Sync' for All iOS Users
Facebook is rolling out its new Photo Sync feature to its iOS users that automatically uploads all photos taken on the iPhone to a private photo album on Facebook. The idea is to make it easier and faster for users to share photos with their friends. Quote:
The app is very clear that all photos uploaded automatically are marked as private and cannot be viewed by others until specifically shared by the user. Users get 2 GB of complimentary photo storage. Article Link: Facebook Enables 'Photo Sync' for All iOS Users |

Wow, no. For people who are 100% confident that they will never have an embarrassing photo of themselves or any of their friends on their phone, this sounds like a great option.
I am not one of those people. (Yes, I know Facebook says all the photos will be private. Facebook says lots of things about privacy.) |

Facebook and Google both make their money by having as much information about you as possible. The more they get, the more they can sell it and make. It also ties you to them so they don't lose you as a revenue stream. If all your information is on their site, it makes it a big pain to take it all and move it elsewhere so most people won't bother and will just stay. |

I sure as heck didn't enable this and I can't think of any possible scenario where I would.
I guess Facebook built this feature for the person who doesn't trust Apple enough to enable Photo Stream; but yet they trust Facebook enough to share every single picture they have on their phones with them? |

*EDIT: According to avanpelt's post and other reports, it appears to be opt-in. Thank you for the clarification. Although I still stand by my arguments against it ever being opt-out, this is not the case currently. I had read that Google+ was not and Facebook's description of the feature doesn't make this clear. It's apparently opt-in though; that's the way it should be, and let's hope it stays that way.
*How can it possibly be legal for an application to upload all your photos without your permission? One day, the application doesn't upload all your photos. The next day, it does. When you download updates, there is not a new TOS you have to sign granting it permission to do so. Even if there is some legalese buried in the original TOS that allows them to do this in future, any change that so egregiously infringes on consumer privacy should at the very least be required to be opt-in. If you like the idea and think it's an exciting new addition, fine -- there can be an option click to allow Facebook to upload all your photos. This should not be the default; they do not own my phone or my photos. Last edited by autrefois; Dec 2, 2012 at 09:27 AM. Reason: Updated x 2 with further confirmation of it being opt-in |

Nov 30, 2012, 05:32 PM | #22 | |
When I go to my profile in the Facebook app and tap Photos, there is now a third tab at the bottom, "Synced". I have to explicitly click the "Sync Photos" button under that tab before the feature is enabled. I suspect you're able to revoke the syncing at any time, but I'm sure Facebook will keep multiple copies of any photo that's previously been uploaded to their servers. |

A day after thrilling their country with a win in the bronze medal soccer game, the Canadian women's soccer team was still basking in the glow of their historic victory.
At the same time a couple of local medalists cheered on their canoe/kayak teammates who hoped to join them on the podium.
And Canada added its 17th medal of the games, a bronze for marathon swimmer Richard Weinberger.
Here's how Day 14 of the Olympics unfolded on Twitter.

Just A Blur
Though admittedly lacking in the quaint appeal of an Indian Rickshaw or the quiet lull of an inter-island ferry, the Washington, D.C. Metro is nothing if not efficient.
Simple to navigate, relatively inexpensive to ride, and convenient to most interesting parts of the city, don't miss the opportunity to ride underground the next time you visit.
It's so fast to get from one place to the next, you'll never have to ask, "Are we there yet?"
Thanks for mentioning simple to navigate..lol..people seem to think the DC metro is highly complicated but I find it's one of the more simple to understand metro systems I've been on!
I must add that what Metro is not lacking at all, and far exceeds any subway system in the US if not the world, is an iconic station architecture. How brilliant was it to model with the hint of a classical dome's interior, that an American symbol for democracy? That roof is now instantly recognizable and adds tremendous grace to a daily commute. I feel lucky to live in a city that took advantage of that opportunity.

ISRAEL is standing firm in the face of mounting international pressure as it pushes ahead with a swathe of settlement plans seen as threatening the viability of a future Palestinian state.
The Palestinian leadership meeting in the West Bank announced that it would ask the UN Security Council to condemn the Israeli settlement program.
In Jerusalem, a senior European Union official said the bloc had received no indication Israel was planning to heed calls to give up on plans to build 3000 new settler homes in a critical area of the West Bank near Jerusalem.
But Britain said the EU was unlikely to punish Israel by imposing trade sanctions, although top diplomats in the 27-nation bloc were expected to discuss further steps at a top-level meeting on Monday.
Australia and Egypt on Tuesday joined a growing list of countries who have taken the rare step of summoning the Israeli ambassador to express a formal protest over plans to build new settler homes in E1, a corridor of land near Jerusalem where construction would cleave a future Palestinian state in half.
The EU ambassador to Israel, Andrew Standley, said despite growing international calls, Israel had shown no sign it was planning to call off its construction plans.
"We've not had any signal or message back, for the time being, to indicate that this message has been heard and has been acted upon," he said.
"There have been in fact, to the contrary, further messages or announcements saying Israel will act upon what it considers to be its strategic interests, which may suggest that if it sees more measures as necessary it will take more measures," he said.
"This is not what we are asking for."
But he refused to say whether the bloc would take further measures to sanction Israel, saying its foreign ministers were to discuss the matter on Monday at a meeting in Brussels.
But British Foreign Secretary William Hague said there did not appear to be any "enthusiasm" in the EU for any move to impose economic sanctions on Israel over its E1 development plans.
"I don't believe there would be anywhere near a consensus," he told parliament. "Nevertheless if there is no reversal ... we will want to consider what further steps European countries should take."
Israel's settlement plans have always raised hackles but Friday's proposals - seen as payback for the Palestinians securing the UN rank of a non-member state - are particularly contentious as they would make the creation of a contiguous Palestinian state almost impossible.
E1 is a corridor of West Bank land, which runs between the easternmost edge of annexed east Jerusalem and the nearby Maaleh Adumim settlement.
But following four days of growing diplomatic pressure, Israel - which is in the middle of an election campaign - showed no sign of backing down.
"There will be no change in the decision that has been made," a source in the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday.
And several hours later, Israel said it was reviving plans for another 1600 homes in annexed east Jerusalem.
"Are new homes in our capital Jerusalem really more dangerous to the peace process than the Palestinian Authority's refusal to talk peace and to recognise Israel?" tweeted Netanyahu spokesman Ofir Gendelman.
The Palestinian leadership held a meeting in Ramallah chaired by president Mahmud Abbas and attended by a top Hamas official.
It decided "as a first measure to turn to the UN Security Council ... to request a constraining resolution for Israel to stop its decisions of destructive expansion and all forms of settlement".
The international outcry since Friday's move has been intense, with UN chief Ban Ki-moon warning that building in E1 would deal the two-state solution "an almost fatal blow".
Washington has warned construction in E1 "would be especially damaging to efforts to achieve a two-state solution" and President Barack Obama's spokesman urged Israel "to reconsider".

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I think I've decided I'm going to try and tackle some pit beef for the game Sunday. Figured it would be a great way to break in my new meat slicer. I've been doing my research, reading old threads and stuff (not done yet) but figured I'd ask some questions of others who have done it in the past. I've figured I'd pull at 125ish, serve with a Tiger sauce on Kaiser (is that right?) rolls with raw onions.
1. I've read top round roast, bottom round and eye of round. Is there a preferred cut?
2. What works best - a reverse sear or just cook direct turning often?
3. If I do a reverse sear, should I use a drip pan and try to collect some drippings for an au jus? I don't think that is "standard', but au jus is always good.
4. Would it be best to cook it the day before, chill it and then use a meat slicer to cut it? And if so, do you reheat it? Or should I cook it Sunday, let it rest (for how long?) and then slice it?
5. Is there anything else you can think of that I am missing?
Thanks in advance.
I believe that Top or Bottom round is used for most Baltimore pit beef. I have used these cuts for various roasts in the past and while they are flavorful a MR to M cook is a bit chewy for me. I personally would prefer using top sirloin and find that as a roast this cut of meat is more tender but a little more expensive. Roll the dice on the top sirloin.
If you wanted to try something similar then do some roast beef po boys instead. Do the braising for the following recipe in the egg. I made it a couple weeks ago and it was dang good. I made some gravy from the braising liquid (after separating the fat) and dressed the sandwiches with some garlic/basil mayo and lettuce. However the braising will not make the use of your slicer moot. Also please don't take this suggestion as one where I am steering you away from pit beef. Just sharing information on a prior cook.
@TUTTLE871 - alcohol goes without saying. Plenty of bourbon and beer on ice. Big screen tv, 2 dogs and slippers covered. Don't smoke cigars, but do have a comfy chair ready if I can get the German Shepherd out of it and get it vacuumed down. :)) What are y'alls plans?
And more importantly, do you know where I can get one of these?
Speaking of round bottoms, I forgot to mention that Chap's is a shack in the parking lot of a strip club. Dinner and a show, Bawlmer style, Hon!nolaegghead said:That guy at Chap's said he was throwing on a bottom round. But they had all kinds of stuff on the grill.
Great idea.
Would a reverse sear with some smoke work also if going for med rare? Man it sucks my slicer blade won't be done until Feb 6th. This will be revisited.Eggcelsior said:

@jfm0830 - I knew that Steven had a recipe in one of his books, but I was trying to do as much research as I could at work. I will look into that book today. I did stumble upon that article on the NY Times as well. Heck, I even looked up your post on it on Barbecue Bible because I knew you had done them before. Thanks for the links to your website. That will come in handy.
I'm pretty sure that we are going to try this. Plans got a bit sidetracked yesterday with the mudbugs, but after calling a few places and finding out I had either missed placing an order by one day or that I would have to buy a whole bag (30-35lbs), that idea might be nixed. Got 2 more places to call today, but am starting to lean towards the pit beef.

The Largest Telescope Ever Built Will Rely On Citizens to Analyze Its Reams of Data
The Square Kilometer Array needs to borrow your hard drive
Australia wants to host the world's biggest and most sensitive radio telescope, and as part of its bid to land the $2.1 billion Square Kilometer Array (SKA) the joint Aussie-New Zealand effort is going go launch a massive cloud computing initiative in September to prove it can handle the data flow. The initiative could quickly turn into one of the largest scientific cloud computing networks in the world, tapping the computing power and storage offered up by desktop computers worldwide.
The Square Kilometer Array, as the name suggests, is going to be huge; 3,000 radio dishes will be spread as far as 2,000 miles in every direction from a central core, offering a full 1,000,000 square meters (that's one square kilometer) of collection surface. Such a sensitive instrument will probe the very beginnings of the universe, help test general relativity, and map the cosmos in unprecedented detail.
It will also produce reams upon reams of data, so much that it's estimated that the SKA could need data links with a capacity greater than that of the current Internet-- the whole Internet. Australia is already sinking $80 million into the Pawsey Center in Western Australia, a supercomputing hub that will be petaflop-capable and the third fastest supercomputer in the world when it comes online in 2013 (based on today's rankings).
But even that might not be enough. By 2020, when the SKA is only partially complete, it will already be churning out such massive amounts of data that two Oxford researchers have been looking into cloud computing alternatives to help manage the mess. Housing the data with something like Amazon's cloud storage service would be expensive, but distribute that data across the many desktops and mainframes at universities and institutes across the globe, and things start to click.
Researchers at the Aussie-based SKA project don't aim to stop there. They see individuals that are not affiliated with the SKA or any of its affiliate research institutions also opening up their desktops to the array's application. And of course, there's a quid pro quo here: give up some computing power, get some data. The initiative could offer free access to astronomers--professional and amateur alike--in exchange for some processing power.
It seems a good deal all around if it eventually happens (South Africa is also vying for the SKA, and a decision won't be made regarding its final location until next year). For SKA, it saves the trouble of constantly adding computing capacity (and cooling that capacity via a huge energy bill). This way, that computing (and the energy suck, and the heat) is distributed between hard drives that are already running anyhow. But it would also engage the public and the global academic community, offering everyone access to one of the world's biggest and baddest science instruments.

I like this idea, and I've heard about SETI project already doing this for the Arecibo telescope. One possible problem though, they better have one of the most amazing firewalls and anti-cracking technology because having everyone connected in such away is going to make each computer more vulnerable.
I have a system I can let them use. Be a great way to show my kids something real and worthwhile on a societal level that's actually fairly easy to miss for the common citizen if they don't know of the opportunity in advance. Teach them to keep their eyes open.
Well sounds as they done with this just in time for shells new gas project,the floating island,I can see it now, we should get aleast one great pic from space before the land down under becomes the land above, only 1 real problem , what ever goes up is comming back down. Glad to under ground complexes becoming more affordable to the working person!!!!! BIG SKY STATE HERE I COME.Do falling dishes from space look like metors??????

Venetian Sphere Water Feature | Slate Falls LED Lit Water Feature | Playful Otters Water Feature |
Corona Stainless Steel Water Feature | Dog At Fountain Water Feature |
When looking to re-design a garden many people now look to add a water feature. A water feature instantly adds a sense of calm and creates a central focal point. The majority of garden fountains and water features are fully self contained making them safe for pets and young children with minimal pools of standing water. Most of our water features are now also low voltage meaning they are much safer than mains powered fountains and of course in todays economic climate cost much less to run. Most items in our range use less power than a standard house lightbulb.
If you are unable to run power to a certain area in the garden why not have a look at our eco friendly range of Solar Water Features, all which enhance the power from the sun and several in the range also have a built in battery back up enabling the fountain be turned on at night - technology really has come on leaps and bounds!

Realism has been a driving force behind gaming, but games themselves are nothing without the hardware they run on. Without graphics cards we would not be able to experience the immersive virtual worlds we have been spoiled with. There is however a problem with realism; its very resource intensive.
The more game developers try to create more realistic worlds the more current technology is pushed to its limit. If you ask average Joe what realism in gaming is all about they would probably tell you about the graphics, but any gamer knows graphics are nothing if the world they render is skin deep. This is where physics comes into play. Physics have been present in games in some form since the start. Take Pong for example; two paddles on each side of the screen bounce a ball between them, if the ball lands at a certain angle with the paddle going at a certain speed then the resulting bounce will be relative to those variables.
Physics is actually a lot simpler than any explanation can make it, the simplest way to describe how game physics should work is by looking at the real world. This is what game developers have been doing for years; trying to bring real world to the virtual.
Cry Havok
There are two elements to game physics; namely the hardware and the engine. There are two main physics engines at present, these are Havok and PhysX. Havok's physics engine is unsurprisingly designed by Havok, it was first released back in 2000 and is currently on its 6th version which was released in August 2008. Havok has been used in over 200 game titles; these include Company of Heroes, Soul Calibur IV, and the upcoming StarCraft II and Diablo III. Havok is released to developers (after they pay a license fee of course) as a Software Development Kit also known as an SDK. This SDK allows developers to use the engine in all aspects of their game that require physics. Havok physics is in fact such a successful engine that it has been integrated into the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PSP Nintendo Wii, and the Xbox 360.
