It's new toy time for yours truly! Android was being poorly represented in my household, so I decided to get a Galaxy S III to round out the technology spectrum. That means I'm finally up to the latest version of Android and can take screenshots without rooting or jumping through hoops!
So how exactly DO I take a screenshot on a Samsung Galaxy S III?
Simple! Just hold the Power button and Home button at the same time! You'll hear a shutter click and your image will be saved to your gallery!
This is a different method than other Android-powered phones that have you hold Volume Down and the Power button. Maybe it's because the Galaxy S III is big enough to bake cookies on?
Give it a try today!

At least it's February and the leaves are off the trees. Ran to the grocery store for bread, this morning, you'd think we were expecting to be house bound for weeks. Did cancel my hair appointment for this afternoon. I wouldn't get home until 3:30 and my driveway is very steep and slippery with even 1" of snow. So, not scraping the sides of my car on the rock walls lining the driveway warrant waiting until Tuesday for my haircut/color. I do feel for the victims of Sandy, who are still homeless, however. This is weather insult on top of insult. Even though the most effected are those in the shore areas, and there will not be much snow there, there will be rain and potential flooding. Everyone stay safe and warm.

LONG BEACH--The last two times Roy Williams has taken his Tar Heels on a west coast swing that included a stop in Maui, it felt more like a coronation than a challenge. Carolina has been a consensus top-five team in its previous two trips--November of 2004 and November of 2008--and most of the drama involved proving just how good the Tar Heels might be in that particular season.
This year, the scenario is different. Carolina is 2-0 and ranked eleventh in the country, but the season-opening victories didn't answer many of the preseason questions about the Tar Heels. Carolina will be one of the favorites in Maui, most certainly, but they are not the only favorite. Opening round opponent Mississippi State dropped its opener at Troy but defeated Florida Atlantic, 78-58. Hard-nosed Marquette or Butler could be a formidable challenge in the second game, and Texas looms as a potential opponent in the event's third game. The Longhorns are waiting to hear from the NCAA about the status of Myck Kabongo, who has been permitted to travel to Maui with the team.
Despite the impressive records in past trips--each has included a one-game stop in California, and Carolina is a combined 7-1, with the only defeat coming at Santa Clara without the services of starting point guard Raymond Felton--they've both been illustrative of the benefits of such an early-season journey. Here's a look at what to watch for during the upcoming week, and some possible key storylines. Carolina plays Long Beach State tonight at 11 p.m. Eastern before traveling to Maui tomorrow.
Hostile environments: The "neutral" site game against Santa Clara in 2004 was fairly sterile, but I remain convinced that the crowd at the Thunderdome in 2008 for the UC-Santa Barbara game is one of the best road environments in which the Tar Heels have ever played in the Williams era. Carolina handled it well, partially because they were starting three juniors and two seniors, all of whom had already been through the ACC twice.
This year's team appears to be facing a similar challenge at Long Beach on Friday, where the program has been selling the Carolina game as the centerpiece of the season ticket package since the spring. As of this morning, the program's official website listed just 376 tickets remaining. East Coast teams simply don't make on-campus visits to mid-majors like Long Beach very often--the last team from East of the Mississippi to play at the Walter Pyramid was Temple in 2008, and no Atlantic Coast Conference team has ever played there.
That means it's likely to be a raucous first few minutes on Friday night. Carolina has some veterans who have been in that environment before, but it will be the first true test for point guard Marcus Paige, who has looked remarkably even-keeled through two home games.
By the way, don't overlook the tough environments in Maui, either. Because of the tiny gym and the fact that people who travel thousands of miles are likely to be hearty supporters, those games can also get rowdy. Based on ticket sales, it looks like Carolina will have the most fans there, but Marquette and Illinois also appear to be traveling well. Texas has a home football game on Nov. 22 against TCU, which is likely to limit the amount of burnt orange in the stands.
Health concerns: Tyler Hansbrough was battling shin splints in 2008, and after playing in the game at UC-Santa Barbara, he did not play in the Maui opener against Chaminade. Four games in six days is a significant load for any player who isn't completely healthy, so it will be interesting to see how the Tar Heels use Dexter Strickland, who tore his ACL less than 11 months ago. Through two games, Strickland's 24 minutes per game rank second on the team.
Handling adversity: Put the above two scenarios together, and it's extremely likely that at some point over the next week, the Tar Heels are going to face a situation when an opponent goes on a run, and they have to figure out how to stop it. Roy Williams is fond of letting his team work itself out of a jam. As he told the 2006 club early in the season, "I'm not going to call a timeout if you get us in trouble. If you get us in trouble, you get us out of it."
With the substitution pattern still in flux, it's just as possible that you might see a five-for-five substitution to allow the head coach to provide some in-game instruction as it is that you'll see a series of first-half timeouts.
Adam Lucas is the publisher of Tar Heel Monthly and the author or co-author of seven books on the Tar Heels.

When company comes, opt for variety
JIM BEAUREGARD | July 29. 2014 9:57PM
Fortunately, we knew what our guest liked and were able to plan ahead. A question worth pondering though, is what to serve to people whom you may not have met before, or whose tastes you don't know.
These reasons, when we have a group of people over we tend to buy a range of things, for example, a Riesling, a Pinot Grigio to go with salads, a Chardonnay to go with something a little heavier, a Pinot Noir for those who like fruit-forward light red wines, as well as a Pinot Noir from France for those who like darker, earthy or flavors, a Malbec if you're having red meat, or maybe a Syrah from Australia, and a Cabernet Sauvignon.

EPA proposing biggest land grab in the history of the world, wants control over everything
naturalnews.com / by: J. D. Heyes / April 29, 2014
(NaturalNews) Food freedom begins with land freedom, because if you have no control over your own property, you have no real control over what you can use it for, including growing your own organic foods.
And if the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gets its way, what property rights you still have may vanish forever.
In a move that some lawmakers have called the biggest land grab in the history of the world, the EPA is moving to commandeer jurisdiction over all public and private streams in the U.S. that are intermittent, seasonal and rain-dependent, according to Alana Cook at WorldNetDaily.
In fact, she writes, the EPA along with the Army Corps of Engineers in late March released a joint proposed rule titled Waters of the United States in a bid to clarify just which streams and wetlands are protected under the federal Clean Water Act. A statement issued by the EPA said that the proposed rule will benefit businesses by increasing efficiency in determining coverage of the Clean Water Act whatever that means.
Some lawmakers are shaking their heads.

Strategy #2: Leveling the Playing Field
The booklet "Saving the Titanic" was originally published by Paul Freundlich, founder of Green America (formerly Co-op America). It contains a dozen green strategies for our society to avoid the "icebergs" of climate change, nuclear catastrophe, economic collapse, and other ills. Today, we excerpt Solution #2, and over the coming days, we'll share the rest of Paul's solutions:
In a global economy, there are huge disparities between standards of living, national policies and the cost of production. Those disparities will only be mitigated by a corporate and governmental commitment to leveling the playing field of competition. Individual companies, like the GAP, have agreed unilaterally to improve conditions, far beyond what they could be forced to do, but seldom does one company control an entire industry. In the absence of international controls, companies can be encouraged to cooperate on industry-wide agreements establishing a base standard for wages pegged to local economies, and committing to safe working conditions, the right to organize, reduced environmental emissions and respecting human rights. Reaching agreements guaranteeing that business will not use the leverage of its purchasing power to exploit, if it is done in con-cert, will avoid an adverse selection against those acting for the future.
How: Companies already share agendas in trade associations potent as OPEC, and price-fixing upwards is not unknown. Establishing compliance standards would require a process analogous to GRI's successful development of reporting standards through multi-stakeholder collaboration, backed by the UN, EU and national governments. Moderating the rampant power of corporations through multi-stakeholder participation means that our common interest in a sustainable society is represented. The original intent of corporations as responsible citizens gains respectability.
Result: As this strategy is implemented, it will reduce the at-traction of outsourcing. In this scenario, the real costs of environmental compliance and fair employment are added to the cost of doing business in even the poorest economies. The benefits are both to workers and environment in those poor countries, but also increased competitiveness for workers in industrialized nations, with consumers accepting marginally higher prices.
Probability: Positive signs in the apparel industry, but strong resistance from countries and businesses which see the supply of cheap labor as their competitive advantage. Not an easy strategy, but one of the most powerful.

You can try google for the super grub boot disk, this will let you boot the backtrack partition if it is still intact. At which point once you have that going you can reinstall grub to the mbr and get it to regenerate the grub menu.lst config file which will at a minimum get you booting into backtrack again, without the super grub boot cd or USB. Once you have that you can manually add an extra entry to your menu.lst file to chainload the windows 7 partition.
There are heaps of threads via google for doing all this I know because I have used them for all the times I have botched grub and the boot process. It is a great learning curve you learn lots by breaking and fixing them

Claudie, from Marshalltown Iowa asks:
How do you remove Norton from your PC completely? I can not uninstall it for some reason.
Hi, Claudie.
Norton, along with Mcafee, AVG and the other powerful anti-virus programs are designed to infiltrate your system completely in order to protect it. They provide so many levels of protection that they have to have their claws very deep into your system. The trade-off for this protection is that they are extremely hard to remove completely, although it is important to remove the old anti-virus completely before installing new anti-virus software.
I know that I sound like a broken record on this topic, but my initial recommendation is to pay a pro to do this removal for you, especially if you are not comfortable with making major changes to your system. I've never personally heard of a failure to remove one of these programs completely from your system causing any major system problems, but it may prevent your new anti-virus program from operating, or at least operating like it should.
If you want to remove the program yourself, there is a tool that can help you do that.
You can download it from https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?lg=english&ct=united+states&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&pvid=f-home [1].
You need to make sure that you have your Norton product key and install software on hand just in case you decide to reinstall Norton at a later time.
Hope that this helps.

This battery claims to be "Made in USA", as printed on the side. However, "without mercury" (mercury free) is in Chinese. Hmmm...I smell a fake.

Thanks dijay! Congrats on being in the fog! Good stuff.
Thanks Spirit! I think it's just a tad bit too obscure to do well. It's nice to see that any old Star Wars shirt doesn't get a free pass to print. I guess next week I'll need to be creative or something.
Right back at you, wirdou! You seem to get better every week! I'm sorry not to see you higher up in the rankings.

Re: do not buy this
GMV, but I don't know whether to be happy or sad that it isn't trending well... My gf says I buy too many t-shirts... my co-worker says I just need to buy another dresser.

Latest on pitching market from GM meetings
Notes and analysis on the market for starting pitchers, near the end of Day 1 at the general managers' meetings in Indian Wells, Calif.:
— Free agent Anibal Sanchez is in a "favorable position" within the marketplace, according to one club official. Sanchez may not reach the $100 million mark, but multiple people within the industry believe he's headed for a deal similar to the one C.J. Wilson signed last offseason: five years, $77.5 million.
Sanchez, only 28, has a chance to break the $80 million mark, for a number of reasons: He pitched well during the 2012 postseason, he proved that he can succeed in the American League, and the right teams – the Dodgers, Rangers, Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tigers – are interested.
— Because Sanchez's value point is more defined, it won't be a surprise if he signs before Zack Greinke, who is viewed as the top free-agent starter.
— In some respects, the free-agent market won't open in earnest until the Tampa Bay Rays trade a starting pitcher, like Jeremy Hellickson or James Shields. Clubs may prefer to work out a trade with the Rays – for a lower-salaried player – rather than invest tens of millions in Greinke, Sanchez or Kyle Lohse.
— Dan Haren, a free agent after the Angels declined his option, could be a secondary choice for teams that whiff on Greinke and Sanchez. Haren is coming off a disappointing season in which he showed diminished stuff, but the need for pitching is such that it won't be a surprise if he signs a two-year contract. The Padres are an intriguing possibility; Haren, a native of Southern California, knows San Diego executives Josh Byrnes and A.J. Hinch from their time together in Arizona.
— Missouri resident Shaun Marcum, a free agent, has interest in pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals or Kansas City Royals, a source said.
— Twins general manager Terry Ryan is looking for multiple starting pitchers. The organizational depth chart at the position is exceedingly thin.
— Jon Paul Morosi

The Canisius College rowing team closed out its Fall schedule at The Head of the Genesee held along the Genesee River in Rochester, N.Y. on Saturday. In the day's racing, the Varsity Eight placed fifth overall with the Second Varsity Eight finishing tenth.
Joining the Golden Griffins in the field of ten boats in the open Varsity Eight race were Syracuse, the University at Buffalo, Cornell, and Duquesne.
"Overall, I'm pleased with the performance of our boats," said head coach Joel Furtek. "For our first boat to run with Duquesne -- just 5 hundredths of a second behind in the 1500 -- who showed great speed in winning the Head of the Ohio last week, and to improve on our opening week performance against a very fast Buffalo crew...these are good signs. We made progress against other boats we've raced, and across the board everyone performed at their highest level yet."
In the 5K-race down the Genesee River, the Griffs' Varsity Eight finished fifth and the Second Varsity Eight placed tenth. Syracuse would occupy the top spot followed by Cornell's Varsity Eight and Second Varsity Eight.
"It was a beautiful day for racing, but a difficult one. There were several dangerous situations out on the water and I'm glad all of our student-athletes made it home safely," stated Furtek of the water conditions. "I'm sorry that some of our competitors had to pull up during the racing, because we'd like to know how we'd have stacked up - but I'm proud of coxswain Hannah Blum's preparation and quick action to sidestep the trouble and carry on. In the end, no one was hurt, so we're just left with lots of results that are hard to parse."
Following the morning portion, the teams competed in a 1500-meter race. Each team's score was compiled through the multiplication of the 1500-meter time by three and was then added to the team's time from the 5K-race.
In the end, the Golden Griffins' Varsity Eight placed fifth overall and the Second Varsity Eight finished tenth. The final team standings included Syracuse in first with Cornell's Varsity Eight and Second Varsity Eight following behind.
With their performance at The Head of the Genesee, the Golden Griffins close out their Fall schedule with four races completed.
"I'm excited now to return to our Fall training and solidify these gains with renewed internal focus. We have a long haul until our first scheduled race in March at the Jesuit Invitational, and we're ready now to put those five months to good use."

As most of you know TDH will be presenting Jeremy Bulloch with his very own ESB Fett Costume. I am very excited to have the opportunity to paint Mr. Bulloch's armor.
I want to thank BATNINJA for doing all the trim work on this armor. He did a excellent job!!:thumbup:thumbup
So far I have done the primer and the silver
This will be a little slower than normal due to the fact I am painting 3 sets of armor at the same time...JB's, mine and Philip Wise.
Let the games begin!!
