Although I love my HTC One X, I agree with your recommendation to choose the Samsung Galaxy S III over the One X. I've started to feel the need for storage since I purchased the app "Wikipock" and my One X simply doesn't have enough space to install it. Since my wife dislikes her S III, I'm thinking of swapping with her.
S3 da best!
I usually carry an external battery charger. Its has a 2200mah battery in it in which lets me do what ever I want to do without worrying. I just let it charge during lunch and thats it.
Great write up. Something to keep in mind is samsung does offer an official extended battery for the galaxy nexus, which may make it an attractive option to some. I believe it comes with a 2000 or 2200MaH battery. I use the extended battery with my s2 and it makes a difference, that's for sure.
I believe advances in software will catchup very quickly to hardware; if we've learned nothing at all from Mr Gates & the WInTel industry - hardware is pushed by software not vice versa.
MP3 encoding required 750-1Ghz desktop Pentium II CPU, yet PIII/4 screamed through this. MS Office increased performance accordingly up to Core2Duo. MPEG2 encoding required 1GHz minimum just to crawl, mpeg4 dual core CPU at minimum!
I see hardware in smartphones changing for better battery life since codecs have all long been established, along with file formats. Only Internet/Sharing speeds requires better hardware (dualband 802.11 @ 5ghz for browsing and co-sharing or hotspot ting on LTE as 802.11n is close to being a bottleneck). Samsung is getting there for voice commands on rejecting calls, apple with Siri voice recognition a huge game player that google has nicely challenged (showing us the precursor of how ProjectGlass will really work!!
I'm surprised a back to school guide did not offer Xperia S/U/Ion as good alternatives to higher contractual priced devices for those to consider a tight budget?
The ION isn't a bad phone but I think the S III and One X are more compelling phones.
The U is also decent but the fact that you only get 4GB of storage which is not expandable is a deal breaker. Even if you don't store lots of stuff on the U you'll still probably be constantly filling it up.
Back to school for wealthy parents that is ;-)

This post is part of an ongoing series of Rangers introductions. See An index to all Rangers covered on this blog for more details.
Who are you?
A sports addict, determined competitor and a bit of a nomad. Growing up in a small mid north coast town about 5 minutes from some of the most beautiful beaches in the world created an addiction to the ocean that was sadly left wanting when I moved to Australia's capital as a teenager. Luckily Canberra is only a couple of hours from the snow, so I was able to satisfy my cravings with snowboarding and mountain biking. Outside of these adrenalin searches I'm a Senior Consultant with Readify, who are one of Australia's leading .NET consulting firms. In my role I am involved in automating the build and deployment of some of Australia's largest systems, working with teams to help them improve their software delivery efforts and I have the pleasure of working with some the smartest people in the country.
What makes you "tick"?
Usually lots and lots of caffeine! Just kidding – seriously though, I'm a very competitive person so I love to challenge myself and those around me. I'm also a pretty firm believer in learning by throwing yourself in the deep end. There's nothing like the sheer panic of realising you're in well over your head and the accompanying sense of achievement when you find a way to succeed.
Where do you live?
Sydney, Australia (when I'm home)
Where do you call home?
Anywhere I'm with friends and family
Why are you active in the Rangers program?
The Rangers program has generated some really valuable community assets. I'm very keen to give back some of what I've got out of the program by contributing wherever I can.
What is the best Rangers project you worked in and why?
Being one of the new kids on the block, I haven't had the privilege just yet. Really looking forward to kicking off the first of what will hopefully be a number of contributions!

Having sneaked out of my office function just after the race that net me a lunch, I thought I share with you a spot in the city which is not much of a secret from the daily crowds.
We had always wanted to try Jude but was put off by a comment made about how it was all about salads and not substantial especially for a guy like me. However when we realised that there was a buy 1 free 1 deal on the Entertainment Card, we thought we might as well make the most out of it.
If there was one down side, it is the lack of menus. The only menu is up on the board which ranges from burgers, fish and ships and etc and then you got a choice of a ton of salads to go with which are on display at one side. For those who are indecisive, you will feel a bit lost in the middle of the crowd, trying to decide what you want to eat.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
The screen remains dark when I power it up, even in a dark room. I am unable to see any menus, images or anything at all. I can hear a click and startup tones as if the the mainboard is waking up. I replaced the mainboard as an uneducated wild guess of my own - ok so I don't get bragging rights.
I am sitting in front of it if there are any test you may need...
Have meter, no problem Va = 122, Vs = 122
Not sure of the other locations of the low voltage and temp
The heat sinks to the right and left of the power board are two degrees above room tem at 67 F
When turning on the set I do notice a red led on the power button that blinks four times if it helps.
led just blinking four times. the set has been powered up for about 45 minutes, no change in temp
The heat sinks are not warming up on either of the Sustain boards.
I am not sure which is the logic board, but there are no led lights lit on any of the boards, as viewed from the back. I even turned the lights off in the room and looked and no leds lit.
The Logic Board is below:
It operates off of a 12 or 15 volt DC output from the power supply. It's possible that the supply voltage is missing, as the Logic board drives the Sustain boards.
The board in the picture you linked to is not in this set. I looked it over, but I can not find that one here. The white wires off of the power supply board go to a board marked BN96-01856A
See if this helps...
Va, Ve, Vs, Vset, Vscan are all 122 at this point. with the set on
Heat sinks on the power supply board are between room temp and 93F
Sinks on the Sustain boards are room temp
Vs = 122 (Which is the house voltage)
Chart found on power supply board attached
Ok so are we saying that it is the power supply board that needs to be replaced? And if so could you provide a link to order one?
After unplugging the Sustain boards Vs still reads 122 v
Ok, one last question
Can you provide a link where I can get this at a reasonable price?
Preferably someplace that takes PayPal for safetys sake.
First I want to say that board is going to be extremely rare, whether the site takers Paypal, or is a reasonable price is beyond my control. I can only tell you what it takes to repair the TV.
Below are the links I was able to locate the board from:
If you need further assistance let me know and please do not forget to rate my service accordingly.
Your advice was great, I have ordered the part and am waiting for it to arrive. I guess the ultimate test will be when I install it and see if the set works. Thank you!
I got the board and installed it, unfortunately its still not working. Umm, what now?
Ok, a couple of updates.
There is a logic board under the metal cradle for the main board. When the set is turned on it has two lights on a flashing green one on the left and a solid green one on the right.
The Vs (as measured on VDC between RTN post and Vs post) is 14.1volts with the set on.
Would this be easier for you on some sort of video conference so you can see what's going on? It is possible as I have a good connection and a camera on my laptop.
That's correct.
Though I cant seem to find a Vsus, just a Vs which measures 14.1
Just figured out that I forgot to plug a connector back into the mainboard. After plugging that back in the Vs now measures 13.9 VDC
Should I try to turn the VS-adj up ?
Ok After that I measured Vs at 14.2 VDC, not much difference there.
I can switch back to the old power board and re check that one?
Switched back to old power board and double checked all the connections. Vs is now 15.0 Vdc
I do have a different meter. The old one met its demise earlier today when I was working on an outboard boat motor and dropped it in the test tank. (I own marinas for a living) This one is new as I just picked it up today at the local WalMart. I did check it against a nine volt battery and it checks out ok. Possibly the old meter was bad to begin with.
This meter I have set to DCV and I am measuring with the negative (black) probe on the RTN post and the positive probe on the Vs post on the power supply board.
Ok, it already is on DCV, like what is in the picture in this link
I think that is the highest setting for DC
I don't have another meter. I did just check it against another power supply I have here and it measures 13.73 VDC on a "Switched 13.8v power Supply" from Radio Shack. The manual that came with the meter says it will go to 600v.
As a contrast test I measure outlet voltage at 123.7 ACV.
I know its not a high dollar meter like a Fluke or something but it should be fairly accurate.
I would check with the old meter but it got hit by the prop in the test tank. Not a chance it even works.
Is it possible we have two bad power boards?
Hi and welcome,Thank you for the question and your patience. Should you still need assistance for information purposes only... Initially, to my understanding, there are two (2) SMPS power supply boards on this model; main (something like a P/N BN96-03252A) and DC/DC (something like a P/N BN96-01856A).
Still, propose to carefully check the DC voltages [presence & consistency] (without adjusting any if the trimpots) and using the metal frame/chassis as common ground:
Please post back results / observations.
Hi Louie, thanks for your help!
Ok, so far none of the trimpots have been adjusted. The old AC to DC power board (the large one) is installed, and I do have another. Here are the measurements with the negative lead connected to the chassis (where to mainboard groundwire is connected)
Vs = 10.2 dcv
Va = 66.0 dcv
Vset = -1.3 dcv
Ve = .205 dcv
Vscan = -5.76 dcv
I am not sure of where to measure "low DC", "PS_ON", or "VS_ON".
But if you can explain I can follow directions.
Ok connector CN809 on main Power Supply board (the larger one)
1 - 13.4 vdc
2 - 13.3 vdc
3 - -1.0 vdc
4 - 65.0 vdc
5 - 64.9 vdc
6 - -2.5 vdc
7 - -2.5 vdc
8 - -2.6 vdc
9 - -2.8 vdc
10 - -2.9 vdc
11 - 14.89 vdc
12 - 5.24 vdc
Which connectors would you like me to test on the smaller DC to DC board?
I'm not sure where to test that. I can't seem to find that on the board. Where and how should I test PS_ON and VS_ON ?
PS_ON = 1.4 vdc (from cn804-1 pin 6)
VS_on = 3.25 vdc (from cn810 pin 9)
ok with all cables plugged in Vs = 13.1 vdc
With cn5010 unplugged Vs = 3.47 vdc
With all cables in place Vs = 14.1vdc
With CN4004 disconnected Vs = -0.2 vdc
I would be happy to but I can see a bad chip on the other board (which was the old one that was original to the TV) so I know its bad. It is the chip at u403 just below the large yellow transformer at the top middle of the board.
The board that is in the set currently was one I got from Tri-State Module and they said they tested it before shipping it out.
Is there a way to verify that it is good?
With all connected Vs = 14.0 vdc
Va = 64.9 vdc
with cn809 disconnected Vs = Steadily climbs in voltage about 1 volt per each 5 seconds - this seems weird??
With cn804-1 and cn803 disconnected and the pins shorted I measured
Vs= 0 vdc
Va = .401 vdc
Shorting pins 4 & 5 is supposed to kick start the power supply. It appears that it is unable to do so.Replacing the power supply would be the only option left both as an attempt of a fix and as an elimination test.
Ok,I will call Tri-State on Monday and have this board replaced. After the new one arrives and its installed I will let you know. Thanks!

Hello,I purchased SupportPress by WooThemes for a means to provide support to my ThemeForest customers. http://www.woothemes.com/products/supportpress/
I would like to integrate ThemeForest's Purchase Code and Marketplace Username into the signup form on the home page so I can easily verify if the customer has purchased my items. I know this can be done because I have seen several authors do this. I'm just not sure what files need to be edited and if Envato provides something that needs to be put into the php to handle this.Here are 2 authors that are currently integrating with ThemeForest: https://support.truethemes.net/ http://www.wpthemehelp.com/
If anyone can give me some guidance on this it would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
You'll want to check out the Envato API and relevant tutorials, then customize your theme to work with it
Thank you. These tutorials were helpful. Does anyone have any experience doing this using Support Press specifically?
You could just buy a theme here that already has this functionality. Oh wait, I think there is a pluginhttp://codecanyon.net/item/authorhq-wordpress-plugin-for-marketplace-authors/889829?sso?WT.ac=search_item&WT.seg_1=search_item&WT.z_author=Philo01

Fredericksburg, Virginia: I am trying to start a go club in Fredericksburg; if you live in the area and love to play go, this could be your opportunity. A meeting location has not been picked as I am currently trying to find other people who enjoy playing go as much as I do: reach me at 540-846-7955 or email@example.com. P.S. I would like to say thank you to everyone at the AGA for their selfless work in trying to make a stronger go community. Your dedication and commitment help to bring us all together as go players and for that I am grateful.

Streaming Online Games
Monday September 9, 2013
Popular streaming site twitch.tv is pulling in 38 million viewers a month, by streaming video gamers playing and commenting on their games. The site's goal is to "connect gamers around the world by allowing them to broadcast, watch, and chat from everywhere they play," according to their website. Why not stream online go games as well, asks AGA member Royce Chen? "Streaming go games, with entertaining and informative comments made by the streamers, could potentially attract the interest of young players, especially those who are already familiar with streams of conventional games," says Chen. "The idea is to make videos like those by TheOddOne, a popular League of Legends player, who is known for providing entertaining commentary."
The AGA would like to recruit volunteers of any playing strength, who would stream some of their online go games. All that's needed is a webcam and a twitch.tv account. Live streams would be promoted on the AGA Facebook page, and archived recordings can also be submitted for uploading to the new Go AGA YouTube channel, which is being managed by Shawn Ray (AKA Clossius on Youtube). Anyone interested in streaming can email Royce Chen for more details. Ray also plans to promote lessons from several popular online go teachers on the new Youtube channel, with archived videos from both twitch and youtube available. Subscribe to the new channel to get updates on this content. -Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor
Only a Passing Matter
Tuesday September 3, 2013
In the recent US Go Congress, there were a lot of exciting half-point games. There was also some confusion over AGA rules and passed stones. On the top two boards of the US Open on the same day, for example, one game finished with black winning by a half-point while on the other, white won by half a point. How could this happen? Here's an updated explanation of AGA rules, originally published back in 1992 when the rules were new.
In an even game with 7 and ½ komi, if White must make the third pass at the end of the game, that stone does change the score (from the traditional territory count) but does not (except rarely*) change the apparent result. The reason is a matter of parity.
Under AGA rules players alternately fill in any dame and both pass one stone to indicate the end of the game. That's a design feature of AGA rules to avoid language problems and end game confusion and has no effect on the result.
If Black plays the last stone on the board, White – under AGA rules – also hands over a third pass stone. Why and what is the effect?
When Black plays last on the board, the number of stones played by both players (not including pass stones) must be odd. Since the board is odd (361), the territory after filling in prisoners will be even. (Odd minus odd equals even.) So any difference in the scores of the two players must also be even: 2, 4, 6, 8, etc. (e.g. 33 – 27 or 32 – 26).
If White is behind by 6 points (territory count) and gets 7 ½ komi, White wins by 1½ . The additional pass stone prisoner reduces the victory to ½ point, but White still wins. If White is behind by 8 and gets 7 ½ komi, White loses by ½ point. The additional pass means White is down 1 ½ points – just a bigger loss.
And if White plays last on the board, there is no third pass stone and no issue.
*Note, if there is a seki (or a combination of sekis) with an odd total number of shared liberties, the parity of points on the board changes and the added White pass stone can appear to change the result in a 1 point game. The combination happens very rarely – less than 1/1000. The Congress game between Matthew (Zi Yang) Hu 1p (w) vs Yuhan Zhang 7d (b) (U.S. Go Congress Recap/Preview: Wednesday, August 7 8/6 EJ; click here for the game) is the first reported example since AGA rules were introduced in 1991. But the "change" is an illusion. AGA rules are designed to produce the same result whether counted by territory or area. The last pass stone does that and the 7 1/2 point komi compensates White for Black's last dame advantage. In addition, if you counted by traditional territory rules with a 6 1/2 point komi, this game would end the same: White loses by half a point.

EJ & Ranka Coverage of 34th WAGC To Start 9/1
Thursday August 29, 2013
China and Korea are favorites again this year to win the 34th edition of the World Amateur Go Championships, which will be held on September 1-4 in Sendai, Japan. Beginning September 1st, Ranka Online and the American Go E-Journal will provide full daily coverage of the championship.
The field of 62 players from as many countries will range in age from 14 to 57 and in official rank from 7 kyu to 8 dan. Yuqing Hu will represent China and Hyunjae Choi is playing for Korea; those two countries have not dropped a single game to any other country in this event since 2006. The players from perennially strong Chinese Taipei, Japan, and Hong Kong (Wei-shin Lin, Kikou Emura, and King-man Kwan) will also bear watching, particularly 14-year-old Lin, who will move on from the World Amateur to a pro career in Taiwan.
These Asians will be challenged, however, by a strong European contingent, led by Slovakian prodigy Pavol Lisy, who finished runner-up to former Chinese pro Fan Hui in this year's European Championship. Joining Pavol will be four other young finalists from the European Championship: Thomas Debarre (France), Ilya Shikshin (Russia), Artem Kachanovskyi (Ukraine), and Nikola Mitic (Serbia). Also competing will be such established European stars as Ondrej Silt (Czechia), Csaba Mero (Hungary), Cornel Burzo (Romania), Merlijn Kuin (Netherlands), and Franz-Josef Dickhut (Germany).
Challenging the Asians and Europeans will be a pair of North American students: Curtis Tang (US), a UC Berkeley student who trained for a year at a go academy in China, and Bill Lin (Canada), who played in the World Mind Games last December and is coming off a 3-1 defense of his Canadian Dragon title.
The Southern hemisphere will be represented by Hao-Song Sun (Australia, 11th place at the 2008 World Mind Sports Games), Xuqi Wu (New Zealand, 12th place at the 2009 Korea Prime Minister Cup), and a pack of hopeful new players from South America and South Africa.
In the past the World Amateur Go Championship has been held in the spring, but this year the schedule was moved back because of the effects of the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011. Thanks to support from all over the world during the past two years, most of the regions hit by the earthquake are now recovering. It is hoped that through the game of go this tournament will give the world proof of the recovery and encourage the local people to press ahead with the long recovery process.
- Ranka Online
NOTE: This report has been updated to reflect Curtis Tang's status as a college student, not high school.
Popular Teacher's Workshop to Return at 2014 Go Congress
Tuesday August 27, 2013
The Teacher's Workshop will be offered again at the 2014 Go Congress, according to AGA VP Chris Kirschner. "The howling success of the 2013 Workshop indicates that this will become a regular Go Congress event," he told the E-Journal. The Workshop had 21 hours of programming, with some of the sessions repeated. Certificates for 8 hours of participation were earned by 40 teachers who ranged from 15 kyu to 5 dan. Go teachers who did not attend the workshop are welcome to join the announcement/discussion list for the Workshop, which is being moderated by Bill Camp. To join the list, just email Bill.

Phoon Wins AGF Scholarship
Monday August 26, 2013
Joey Phoon 5k is the winner of the American Go Foundation's College Scholarship. Phoon is off to college on familiar turf this month, as he starts the fall term at George Mason University, site of the 2009 Go Congress, which he attended when he was 14. "Walking through campus brings back memories of running through the rain to get to simuls and occasionally getting lost in the huge campus," Phoon told the E-Journal. Phoon started a go club at George C. Marshall High, in his junior year. "At first it was only me and a couple of friends that I had taught in preparation for the club," said Phoon, "but we slowly gained momentum and gained member after member. At the end of the year we had 11 members. Every Wednesday we would play a few games then review life and death problems. From just these sessions, the students learned quickly and got to 20 kyu within a couple weeks. I took two of the members to their first AGA rated go tournament and one of them won first place in the 25 kyu division. The go club carried on the following year and we gained 3 new members." Phoon says running his club "made me understand that teaching a complete stranger is different from teaching a friend. They may be complete novices when it comes to the game but they show great potential. I hope now that I have graduated they will continue the club, and promote go to other people."
Phoon says going to the Go Congress as a young man had a big impact on him: "Us Eastern shore kids finally got a chance to participate in one of the largest go events in the Western hemisphere. Naturally, my friends from the Great Falls Go Club and I decided to attend as it was a once in a life time chance for us. The Go Congress gave me a chance to meet children around my age throughout the United States that had an interest in go. Not only that, but I met many famous pros along the way like Ryo Maeda and Feng Yun. Their lectures were not only compelling but also gave me a glimpse into the pro go world. Overall, go has changed the way I look at life and how I treat every situation. Rather than focusing on a particular aspect of life, stepping back sometimes can help you find a better solution, because then you can see life from a broader point of view."
The AGF College Scholarship is presented annually, usually to one male and one female student. There were no female applicants in this past cycle though, so only one scholarship was awarded. Applications for the AGF Scholarship are open through November 20th, and interested students can find more information on the AGF Website. -Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor. Photo by Joey Phoon.
Big Turnout for Bay Area Go Summer Tournament
Monday August 26, 2013
Forty six kids and adults came out to San Francisco's Japantown Center on August 17th for the Summer Go Tournament organized by Bay Area Go Players Association. Players ranged in strength from 7 dan to 21 kyu, and 13 people joined or renewed their AGA memberships in order to play in the event. Naoyuki Kai 7d (in photo at right) led the pack with an impressive 4-0 record.
"Some folks traveled three hours or more to get here, so I'm glad we could offer them a full day of competitive face-to-face go," said Tournament Director Steve Burrall. Reports event organizer Roger Schrag, "Longtime local go leader and past US Go Congress co-director Ernest Brown took lots of pictures and made a beautiful slide show. I hope people who haven't yet experienced playing in a go tournament will watch it to get an idea of how rewarding, fun, and social it is to play go over a physical board with dozens of other go players all around you." Bay Area Go's Fall Tournament is scheduled for Saturday, November 2 in Berkeley.
Winners report: First Division (7d-2d): 1st: Naoyuki Kai 7d. 2nd: Norman Tsai 5d. 3rd: Marshall Quander 2d. Second Division (1d-4k): 1st: Roger Schrag 4k. 2nd: Peter de Blanc 1d. 3rd: Daniel Yoo 4k. Third Division (5k-21k): Douglas Miller 16k. 2nd: James Lee 10k. 3rd: John Lengyel 8k.

Takemiya Masaki 9P & Chihiro Chujo 1P Teach at Seattle Go Center
Friday August 23, 2013
During the week following the U.S. Go Congress, Takemiya Masaki 9p from the Nihon Ki-in and Chihiro Chujo 1p from the Kansai Ki-in each taught three times at the Seattle Go Center. Ms. Chujo was an enthusiastic go teacher, and an eager student of the English language. Her English vocabulary increased notably during her week-long visit. In his first lecture, Takemiya gave commentary on two of his games; one from the beginning of his career in 1969 and one with his friend and competitor Cho Chikun from 1988. Takemiya's second lecture was for kyu players, and stressed that "those who play where they want lose more games but get stronger faster". He admitted that sometimes there is only one move on the board, and showed an example of this situation, but he reassured the audience of 22 players that usually there are options to try out. Both Chujo and Takemiya played simultaneous games on Tuesday, Aug. 14, the busiest day of the week at the Go Center. Two of Takemiya's games with strong players were recorded and broadcast on KGS, and then shown in the kitchen with a digital projector. At one point there was a roar from the kitchen when the internet connection was temporarily lost, puzzling the players in the main room who did not know what had happened. The games are posted in the news section of the Go Center website, along with the two games Mr. Takemiya presented in his lecture.
There was also time for sight-seeing, and for good seafood dinners. Miss Chujo went for a canoe ride, while Mr. Takemiya had a fine round of golf, with three birdies, and also went tango dancing after one of his lectures.

West MI SportsCenter Morning Edition - 01/24/2014
Undefeated Big Ten leaders Michigan and Michigan State are set for their first meeting of the season tomorrow night in East Lansing. But bad news for MSU, the third-ranked Spartans will play the next 4-5 weeks without starting junior forward Branden Dawson, who broke a bone in his hand he slammed on a table during film review. MSU remains without Adreian Payne, who is likely to miss a fifth straight game with a foot sprain. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30pm tomorrow night - Tip-off at 7pm over on Newsradio WOOD 1300 & 106.9 FM.
The Detroit Red Wings host the Montreal Canadiens tonight in their first matchup as Atlantic Division competitors. Game time at the Joe is 7:30pm.
The Calder Cup Champion Grand Rapids Griffins visit the Texas Stars tonight and tomorrow night. Labatt Griffins Hockey pregame show coverage starts at 8:10 this evening over on WOOD Radio 1300 & 106.9 FM.
The Detroit Pistons are in action tonight at the Palace to play the New Orleans Pelicans for the second time this season. Tip-off is 7:30pm.
Reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer says a contract extension with the Tigers isn't imminent. The right-hander agreed last week to a one-year deal for more than 15-million dollars to avoid arbitration. Scherzer added during the kickoff to the team's winter caravan that he wants to remain in Detroit.
And just a reminder that tomorrow afternoon ESPN 96.1 will feature a local college basketball rivalry as #6 Cornerstone University visits #13 Davenport University. Bret Bakita and John Kenyon will be courtside with the call starting with pregame coverage at 2:45pm - Tip-off is 3pm at the D-U Student Center right here on ESPN 96.1. The game has been named the NAIA National Game of the Week!

Ordered a Shark Blue Golf TDI 6-speed w/Tech Package the end of February. I didn't expect to see it until sometime in July. Of course, nothing ever goes just right with me, and last week I read in the forums about the Shadow Blue being phased out on the GTI in November, and I'm feeling good that I'm going to get my Shark Blue at least.
Then I continue reading and come across Jay Pichardo's Ask a VW Salesguy Blog where I find to my horror that Shark Blue was discontinued the first week of February! Then the calls to the dealership start in earnest. They know nothing about it....my order is in, no commission number yet.... the **** has hit the fan, and I'm going down; because I don't want any other color.
I finally end up talking to the finance guy at my dealership, and he asks for a few days to get into what's going on. I call Saturday morning (having not heard anything for a few days) and he tells me my car is on the lot!! Yeah...rrright!!! No really...it's here. We found one in Baltimore, Md. and they were willing to trade cars!! It arrived at 6:00 AM this morning!
I drive down right away, and sure enough, they were telling the truth.
It will be a couple of weeks before I pick the car up. Have to get funds, and it will take time for my request to process. Like I said earlier, I wasn't expecting the car for a while, so now I have to get going.
I'm looking forward to this car. My Jetta has been an excellent car, but it will be going to son #2 next year, so I needed a replacement, and at 600 miles/week commuting, the TDI will fit the bill perfectly.

Grants will enable districts to provide high-speed broadband to support blended learning efforts
Forty-seven Georgia school districts and one state school will be awarded about $8.2 million through a collaborative funding effort that seeks to provide high speed broadband access required for blended learning, Gov. Nathan Deal's office said.
Connections for Classrooms is part of a broader statewide effort to expand classroom high-speed broadband access in response to Deal's Digital Learning Task Force recommendations as well as the state's efforts to enable personalized learning for Georgia students.
Connections for Classrooms grants are distributed in three rounds and funded through an effort between the Governor's Office of Student Achievement, the Georgia Department of Education and the OneGeorgia Authority.
The funds will enable the 48 entities to receive another $16.8 million in federal funds toward classroom network infrastructure.
"Georgia students gain a distinct advantage by learning skills applicable to rapidly growing sectors of the economy," Deal said in the release. "I charged the Digital Learning Task Force with developing a strategy to improve student achievement through digital learning implementation across the state. Today, our schools are more equipped than ever to properly prepare students to join a high-tech workforce."
Across three granting rounds, Connections for Classrooms provided more than $70 million in grants to 157 local education authorities to help them achieve personalized learning for their students.

On the Pittsburgh Steelers' official depth chart, running back Jonathan Dwyer is back at the top. Rashard Mendenhall was formerly No. 1, but two fumbles last week against the Cleveland Browns hasn't helped. In fact, between Mendenhall, Dwyer, Chris Rainey , and Isaac Redman , the four backs accounted for six fumbles, four of them lost. Dwyer had nine rushes for 19 yards, Rainey (5-17), Redman (2-7), and Mendenhall (4-6), as each back played miserably on Sunday.
Fantasy Analysis:
Considering the Steelers lost five fumbles and three INTs, it is rather surprising they only lost by six points. Even though Dwyer is for now the featured back, no Steelers RB is worth starting without a healthy Ben Roethlisberger. Furthermore, carries are being split up so much that none of them are able to accumulate much production. Rather than hope that Dwyer has the hot hand next week, there are other backs emerging at this stage of the season who might be worth a shot if they continue to start (Rashad Jennings or Bryce Brown , for example.)

The Sons Of Champlin
The group was formed out of the remnants of the Opposite Six, an earlier band led by singer/keyboardist Bill Champlin, playing its first show at the College of Marin in Marin County, CA, in the spring of 1965, with a lineup also including saxophonist Tim Caine, guitarist Terry Haggerty, bassist Al Strong, and drummer Jim Myers, later replaced by Bill Bowen. (Although still a teenager, Champlin was married and a father, which inspired the band name.) By July 1966, they were playing at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. They released their debut single, "Sing Me a Rainbow," on Verve Records in March 1967, but when it failed to chart, a full-length LP was shelved. (It later earned release under the title Fat City.) Undaunted, the group added two horn players, Geoff Palmer and Jim Beem (who left in 1969), and turned to a more R&B/jazz-oriented style. It took more than a year before they got another chance to record, signing to Capitol Records in 1968 and releasing their label debut, the double-LP Loosen Up Naturally, in April 1969. It peaked at number 137. The band quickly recorded a second album, for which they temporarily shortened their name to the Sons; the LP, released in October, bore that name. It reached number 171. Tim Caine left the band after the album's release.
The Sons toured to support their second album and played in the Bay Area in the winter of 1970, but then broke up. Various members played in other bands until the fall, when they were called back into the studio by Capitol, which demanded another album on their contract. Thus, their third LP (again as the Sons of Champlin), Follow Your Heart, appeared in April 1971. It did not chart, and the band broke up again after a few promotional shows. Champlin, Haggerty, and Palmer continued to perform together, however, adding bassist David Schallock and drummer Jim Preston. They were at first reluctant to use the old group name, but eventually relented, reverting to calling themselves the Sons of Champlin in 1972. In 1973, they signed to Columbia Records and cut their fourth album, Welcome to the Dance, released in April. Hailed by many as their best album, it unfortunately got lost in corporate politics as company president Clive Davis was ousted; it peaked at number 186.
The Sons responded to the debacle by forming their own label, Gold Mine Records, for their next LP, titled simply The Sons of Champlin and released in 1975. By that time, they had added a horn section consisting of Phil Woods, Mark Isham, and Michael Andreas. The independent release attracted sufficient attention that the Sons were able to sign a regular recording contract with Ariola America, which gave the LP a national release. In the run-up to their next album, Schallock left the group along with the horn section. The new bassist was Rob Moitoza (formerly of the Opposite Six), while saxophonist Steve Frediani also joined, followed by trumpeter David Farey by the time A Circle Filled with Love, the sixth album, was released in May 1976. For the disc, the Sons turned to producer Keith Olsen, just off producing Fleetwood Mac's big-selling self-titled album, in search of a more commercial sound. The LP reached number 117, the band's highest chart ranking, as the single "Hold On" got halfway up the Hot 100 and "Here Is Where Your Love Belongs" also charted. The Sons released their seventh album, Loving Is Why, in April 1977, and when it turned out to be a commercial disappointment, peaking at number 188, Bill Champlin, who had been doing session work in Los Angeles, decided to leave the band and did so at the end of their promotional tour for the LP.
The Sons of Champlin tried to carry on with other singers, but soon disbanded. There were occasional one-off reunions over the years, and the group finally reorganized on an ongoing part-time basis in the late '90s, as Champlin was able to fit it in around his solo career and membership in Chicago. A concert album fittingly called Live was released in 1998 by Arista Records. By 2002, Haggerty had dropped out and been replaced by Tal Morris, who appeared on a second live album (with accompanying DVD), Secret. DIG Music released a new Sons of Champlin studio album, Hip Li'l Dreams, in 2005. ~ William Ruhlmann

vertex and normals of Icosahedra
I've been trying to get our NeXt's version of Mathematica to spit out the
vertex directions and face normals of an Icosahedra, without any
sucess.The very early version of Mathematica on the NeXt doesn't have much
of the functionality that is listed in the manual I've got.
Can someone out there that as a up to date version send me such a list

The Big Fat Cow That Goes Kapow
by Andy Griffiths
No current Talk conversations about this book.
great book for rhyming and predictability. Teaches about writer's crafts and the different fonts and drawings. It's good for onomatopoeias too.
Z liked it, especially because it was a read by yourself book, but not as much the the Fat Cat On The Mat.
This book consists of 10 short stories for the beginning, emerging reader. They're full of silly, rhyming humor that's sure to get any reader laughting.
A good choice for reluctant readers, full of pictures and easy words, but hilarious content that gets kids thinking about expressions and double entendres. Very funny!

|Lung Diseases Sleep Apnea Syndromes
|Study Type:
|Study Start Date:
|April 1986
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|March 1989
The Sleep Apnea Syndrome consists of sleep-induced disturbances of breathing and breathing-induced disturbances of sleep. Symptoms of pathologic sleepiness and, less commonly, frequent awakenings and light sleep reflect the fragmentation of sleep by repeated respiration-related arousals. Snoring, intermittent choking, and nocturnal dyspnea reflect varying degrees of upper airway obstruction associated with Sleep Apnea Syndrome. Observations of breathing during sleep show varying combinations and degrees of periodic breathing, apneas, and hypoxemia. In more severe cases, cardiovascular complications, including systemic and pulmonary hypertension and cardiac arrhythmias, occur. The clinical spectrum thus varies from the asymptomatic patient, to one with chronic cardiac and respiratory failure who is at risk of sudden death. Most patients are disabled by varying degrees of pathologic sleepiness.
The rapid increase of clinical activity with the Sleep Apnea Syndrome created an urgent need for a more complete description of this condition. Clinical descriptions were derived from case series of severely afflicted patients. Limited epidemiologic data, however, indicated that symptoms and objective manifestations of Sleep Apnea Syndrome occurred commonly in the population. It was unknown whether subjects with these findings were unrecognized patients, premorbid individuals at risk, or normal subjects with no special impairments. There was a need to define the frequency of signs and symptoms of Sleep Apnea Syndrome in the general population, and to determine the health effects related to these findings.
Subjects were recruited from a previous survey, the Belen Health Study, conducted from July 1984 through November 1985. Based on the data of the earlier survey, 421 subjects were identified for recruitment and 275 actually participated. The Belen Health Study questionnaire included items directed at Sleep Apnea Syndrome. Subjects for the sleep study were selected based on responses to the initial questionnaire. For the sleep study, an additional questionnaire was used, as well as new techniques of home monitoring of breathing during sleep, and polysomnography to define the prevalence of symptoms and manifestations of Sleep Apnea Syndrome. An assessment of the health effect of Sleep Apnea Syndrome was made by reference to the demographic, socio-economic, and health data from the Belen Health Study. Diagnostic criteria and the utility of home monitors for clinical diagnosis were also determined.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds, the best pitcher and best hitter, in all of baseball, maybe ever, have proven how rampant drugs are in baseball. It's disgusting. And horrible for baseball. What other sport has had this level of disgrace?.. And survived? And it all comes back to Canseco.
What if Canseco and others were right that 50% to 70% of all baseball players were using PED (Performance Enhancing Drugs) at one point? Who can still be held sacred? It's a tough one.
It comes down to fans. Writers, radio guys, ESPN commentators, PTI guys, whoever all have their own opinion. There is a very good chance your favorite player did PED. If it matters to you, you have to decide to yourself whether you can still admire him.
All this cheating is to a degree. Some guys admit going from being a C- player to a B. Or bringing their A game to a whole new level. But what about the normal guys. A guy who used HGH to heal faster but was still out many months. Or just a good contact guy who was already a hard worker who wanted more power. A lot of his friends did steroids, so he tried it but it didn't really work. He was the same player. Even with PED it doesn't necessitate a better player on the other side.
How much can we punish the players for a problem that was rampant solely because baseball didn't stop it. Adults will cheat to get ahead like anyone will. If no one is watching, everyone is doing it, and no one is punishing the guys doing it… sounds dumb not to do it.
I'm still in a small group who thinks everyone should move on. Accept the era for what it was. Baseball should crack down on all the possible PED use. But beyond that, its like trying to piece together shredded up newspapers in a dump. Its a small piece after small piece, coming together for almost nothing. It's almost impossible to ever say any of these players 100% did PED. And only because we're talking about the best players in baseball do we dig as deep.
One word to describe it all: ugly.

Chelsea were dealt a huge blow as they lost 1-0 to Aston Villa and finished the game with only nine men.
Chelsea had the chance to go nine points clear at the top of the table with Manchester City still having three games in hand, and a lot of the blame was being targeted at referee Chris Foy, who Chelsea believed was out to get them.
TV host Jeremy Clarkson tweeted a humorous message summing up how many Chelsea fans felt like after they saw both Willian and Ramires sent off. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was also sent to the stands.
Chris Foy had been accused of having a poor record when it comes to officiating The Blues, having six red cards to Chelsea players in their last eight games he has officiated.
Mildly surprised the Chelsea Villa ref didn't send me a red text telling me to stop watching

Saline to Silicone via Areola - Is this possible?
- drishti206
- Last updated: 4 years ago
I got my saline implants under the muscle 4 years ago (230cc each side) and went from an AA to a B/C/D (i'm all over the map on bras). I wanted to know if it was possible to get silicone implants thru the areola with a slighty larger size. I would also like more natural feeling breasts as I can feel the ripples of my implant at the sides. Thinking of going a tad larger on the right side as it seems to be smaller than the left now. Also, if possible, any recommendations in the Seattle/Bellevue area on PS that can do this type of revision? Thanks!

I'd read great things about a preschool near work, but I'd also read it was hard to get past the waiting list. How lucky are we that they have availability for next year?!
You know how you instantly have a good feeling about something? That's what happened for both Boyfriend and me here. Bug instantly took off and started playing with the train table (of course, that kid loves his trains.) And after admiring the kids' backpacks Peanut followed right along. The Director even mentioned that they were showing no signs of apprehension - that's a good thing in my book!
My sister'd brought the boys up to work for us so we could take the least amount of time off so she sat with the boys while B and I talked to the director. She was so nice and you could just tell that she cares so much about the kids.
Class was going on in the corner, they were playing an alphabet game when suddenly we realized that the boys were shouting out answers too! We could tell because a lot of the time when Bug answers a question, he kind of hops along with his answer. My sister said he kept yelling, "Four!"
It was at that moment I realized they are so ready for school.And then I teared up.
The school is set in a park so when the weather is good they'll get to run outside and play at recess, they'll eat lunch at school with their little classmates - how cute is that?! I can't wait to buy them lunchboxes, backpacks and rain jackets. As hard as it is letting them go, I know this is the right thing to do. They're still talking about "schoo." Except, Bug says he wants to ride the bus, and then he wants to ride the train to school and sometimes it's the trolley. I have a feeling that Bubble Guppies or Team Umizooni has an episode about school.
The other kids yelled and had fun, but were so well behaved, B and I joked that the minute we left they'd be swinging from the rafters :)
The boys are still on an early nap schedule so after we dropped B off at work, my sister and I took the boys to buy a box of animal crackers. I wanted something relatively mess-free, somewhat healthy that would take a while to eat so they wouldn't fall asleep in the car and screw up their schedule.
Apparently Bug scarfed them down faster than my sister's ever seen him eat anything. And, before you get on my about coats in the car seat, these are thin and we still get the straps really really tight to protect them. Sadly I had to head back to work, but I was on a high all day so excited that we got into our first-choice preschool.
I'm so sad that they're growing up, but I'm so excited for what's to come for them.

In my opinion, the pistol is the most difficult firearm to shoot accurately offhand. There are many reasons for this, ranging from sight radius to grip. In this thread, I will focus on improving the shooters hold and reducing wobble in the front sight.
Before I begin, let me clarify some of the terms that I am going to be using.
1. The Hold: The ability to hold the sight on target and releasing the shot without moving the sights.
2. The Wobble: The movement that the shooter experiences through the front sight in a figure-eight fashion while in the process of The Hold. (The point here is to release the shot without disturbing the established hold on the target.) For the sake of this thread, we are going to assume that the shooter has a good grasp of trigger manipulation, and that the only thing that could disturb his hold is the wobble.
Now lets get to the focal point of this post. What can we do to reduce the wobble of the front sight while we are in the hold? There are several things that one can do to reduce the wobble (notice I said reduce not eliminate). You cant completely eliminate the wobble, but you can reduce and manage it.
The following are some techniques to help you accomplish said management:
1. Relax and Breathe. Some shooters tend to increase their grip pressure right when they are about to release the shot. This increase in grip pressure will dramatically increase the wobble and make it very difficult to manage. Focus on your front sight and take some deep breaths, as this will help you in holding the sights in place while you release the shot, especially if you release the shot at your natural respiratory pause.
2. Go to the gym. When holding a pistol in place, you use a lot of large and small muscle groups to achieve your hold. With that being said, it stands to reason that strength training these muscles will improve your hold. Shooters should strength train three times a week focusing on arms, shoulders and back muscles in order to improve the hold. Add in a thirty-minute cardiovascular workout three times a week and you are in business. Being in a good cardiovascular shape will make your breaths less labored, which in turn will improve your hold.
3. Dry-fire. Injecting a dry-fire training regiment into your overall training program is the best investment you can make. By dry-firing, you are conditioning your mind and body to see and feel the perfect shot. You should dry-fire three times a week, 20 minutes at a time. Work on holding the shot for as long as you can, to the point where you are almost unable to pull the trigger. When you arrive at that point, press the trigger gently. If the sights dont move, you have achieved your goal. Relax and repeat the drill ten times. This drill will help you develop all the necessary muscles that are used to achieve a perfect hold.
4. Follow-through. This is the commitment on the part of the shooter to continually apply the fundamentals throughout the life cycle of the shot. Be committed to the shot and visualize the shot happening several times in your mind before you release it. Implement a visualization program that you can practice several times a week. Visualization is a very powerful tool that is free and the shooter can practice anywhere, anytime. When you visualize, visualize everything being absolutely perfect, so that when its time to make the shot you have shot it (perfectly) hundreds of times in your mind.
The above-mentioned tips are just a few that can help you as a shooter in improving your hold, and in my opinion, give you the best return on your investment.
For many years, I ended each practice session by shooting slow-fire groups at a 4x4 piece of paper at 25 yards. I would take all the time I felt that I needed to shoot the smallest five shot group possible. I would shoot five groups each session, keeping the smallest group for my record. This is a great exercise to ingrain all the above tips. Good luck..

AdTruth Helps InMobi Ad Tracker Toss Its Cookies
The trouble with mobile tracking takes up a fair chunk of the OPS agenda on Oct. 4, including sessions from former Razorfish exec and current MoPub Head of Strategy Paul Gelb as well as AdTruth General Manager James Lamberti – the latter is humorously subtitled "Life Without Cookies Is Pretty Sweet."
AdTruth had some joint news with InMobi on Tuesday – version 2.0 of InMobi Ad Tracker (check out our Q&A on the first edition) has integrated AdTruth's global device recognition technology for advanced conversion tracking, now sans cookies. Ad Tracker – which it should be noted is an independent tool from the company's mobile ad network – will use AdTruth's tech to anonymously match mobile ad clicks to downloads – both mobile web and app-based.
"As a result of this partnership with AdTruth, InMobi Ad Tracker version 2.0 eliminates browser opening at the first application launch, known as a 'swishing,' in the iOS and Android SDKs – no longer requiring cookies," said Chandrashekhar Vattikuti, VP of Products at InMobi. "This new capability will increase the track-able inventory thus improving campaign scalability for our customers. Ad networks and advertisers integrated with InMobi Ad Tracker will continue to benefit from real-time conversion feedback, allowing them to effectively optimize their campaigns."
I've long been interested in device recognition or server-side tracking's (whatever you do, don't call it device fingerprinting!) growing role in digital advertising, especially on the mobile front where tracking has been a lost opportunity. AdTruth's latest whitepaper, "Improving the Economics of Mobile Marketing," (PDF) suggests that tracking and measurement are the biggest obstacles to channel growth (while also noting that fraud and privacy are huge factors). The paper pushes the idea of a consumer-friendly, scalable ad tracking technology – which it claims to have created through AdTruth. Looks like InMobi agrees.
Just for fun, here's a little infographic from the AdTruth folks.
|Macro-level changes are coming, and you can sieze the opportunities that follow at OPS NY. This event will bring together digital advertising leaders and ops professionals to discuss a rapidly evolving landscape and develop strategies for monetization. Register today for OPS NY which will be held Oct. 4, 2012.

How do you dry your hair?
I am trying to get on the CG bandwagon-but it isn't easy! I am now using No Poo, One C, B'Leavin, and Angell. I had my haircut yesterday per CG style-and I really do like it. BUT-I like to diffuse my hair on warm. I plop for about an hour while I get my baby up and fed and such-then I diffuse on warm-takes about 15 minutes. My hair does frizz I think quite a bit-so I know the heat is part of the problem. My stylist really wants me to let it air dry. It looks so nice and curly and full after being diffused. I don't want to have flat hair. Those of you who let it air dry-is your hair full? It will take HOURS for it to air dry. I really want to follow this to the T-but can I do it? Especially with winter coming! I know my hair can be healthier-and letting it air dry will save me time-but is it worth it? And how long did it take before your hair started looking healthier after not using a hair dryer? And how can you have a "hair-do" with your hair wet?
I wrap mine in a micro fibre towel straight out of the shower and leave it on while I get dried, do my face etc. (Can't plop as I get a tangled birds nest!). Then I let it loose and leave it to dry for at least an hour, then I finish it off with a diffuser (about 5 mins). I can't diffuse from really wet as I just end up with frizz and little definition, nor can I just let it air dry as then I end up with flat, stringy curls. I can let it air dry completely but I still have to diffuse a bit as otherwise my hair would look wet and stringy all day. It's very weird and very trying! I have to say though, that I really don't like too much volume.
I picked airdry because that's what I do most of the time. Sometimes I might diffuse on low for 5 minutes, but that's only if I'm extremely short on time. I get better clumping when I air-dry, which is what I like, and less fly-aways. I plop for as long as I can, but I think what really helps speed up the drying time a bit is that I use these really absorbent, cloth-paper towels to scrunch my hair with right after I've added my products. I scrunch quite a bit until the 3 towels are soaked, then I plop for at least 20 minutes, but sometimes up to an hour. I still takes a few hours for my hair to completely dry, but at least it's better than the several hours it would take if I didn't do the above. I think my hair can be deceiving because while it's not coarse, I definitely have a lot of it, and every stylist has always commented on how much moisture it sucks up and how long it takes to dry.
Thanks ladies! I just don't know what to do. I showered this morning-used only One C (yay for me-I didn't even use my no-poo) and plopped for an hour. Now my hair has been down for an hour or so-and showing no signs of it wanting to dry. I know I should really give air drying a chance-as I know my hair will be healthier and less frizzy. I guess I just fear that it won't look good-it'll look flat. I know diffusing on cool would take forever-but it wouldn't hurt my hair like the heat would-right? I keep telling myself to just give air drying a chance. But-as soon as my baby wakes up from her nap-we have errands to run. And it is raining outside and cool. What's a curly girl to do? Argh!
Do you all wash your hair at night-or in the morning? I don't like the idea of going somewhere and still have wet hair. Can you tell? I also think my hair would look bad if I showered in the evening and let it dry then or overnight.
Lush-one more thing-you are the second person to say they towel squeezed their hair AFTER products were put in. How come? I would think a lot of the product would come out? I'm still learning here! :oops:
I do my hair in the morning. I rinse upside down, apply products upside down, gently squeeze out excess water with my microfiber towel (some product gets squeezed out but it's mostly water) then plop for no more than twenty minutes. I diffuse with warm air for 20 - 30 minutes then I let it airdry the rest of the way. When I don't diffuse and just let it airdry, it does end up pretty flat. The heat doesn't do that much damage to my hair.
Curlygaladi, I'm thinking maybe you are plopping too long. If I plopped for an hour my hair would be nothing but frizz. Twenty minutes is the max I can go. Just a suggestion! :D
Thanks Ab-star! I don't know if plopping even does me any good-right now it is a matter of convenience. I don't think it makes my hair any frizzier-it is still pretty wet after I take it down (I use a T-shirt). I think I will try to diffuse on cool here in a bit. It has been air drying for an hour now. This is supposed to be easy-but I am finding very complicated to do NOTHING to my hair! :cry:
You might find that airdrying first and then diffusing will create frizz.
I also plop in a t-shirt, it just seems like the longer I leave it up the more frizz I end up with. Don't get frustrated, it's hard to find what works for your curls...I'm still trying to figure it out too! :D
I wash my hair at night, usually 3-4 hours before I plan on going to bed. (Once I'm home from class, I don't usually go anywhere, so I don't have to worry about going out with wet hair.) I plop for 20-30 minutes and then diffuse for 10. I let my hair air dry the rest of the way. Diffusing for 10 minutes takes a full hour off of what would be my typical airdrying time. Then I go to bed with my hair 100% dry; if I go to bed with it wet, some parts straighten out and others curl too tightly. Overnight my curls inexplicably coil more tightly, even though my hair's already dry, so I wake up in the morning with tight curls and nice volume (albeit a little frizz, which doesn't bother me so much). I scrunch in some re:coil, and occasionally I'll apply some cream to my crown if my frizz is too bad, and I'm good to go.
I air-dry my hair only. Using direct heat on my curls just isn't even an option for me anymore.
I wash my hair mainly either late afternoon or early evening for the most part. By the time I wash up and go to bed at night, my hair be completely dry. And I only wash my hair (in a week's time) 1 or maybe 2 times. Never more than that.
I only airdry my hair. 2 reasons: 1. My hair looks healthier and more defined 2. SOOOO Much easier. I don't have time to sit there and dry my hair. ~~jax
And I was about to recommend what unique just said regarding the clips. That's what I do and it helps give me lift at the roots. I just put those small silver duckbill clips (about 10 or so) at the roots, and leave them there while my hair is airdrying. It really helps! :) I must say though, that yes, airdrying does take a long time, but my hair looks so much better when I let it airdry all the way instead of diffusing some. For example today, I washed my hair at 11 this morning, and it's almost 8pm here now and my hair is finally completely dry. When I checked at 7pm, it was still damp in many parts.
I plop for about 20- 30 minutes and then airdry. I do my hair in the morning. I don't diffuse because- well, because I don't have the patience and I don't own a hairdryer! :)
I diffused for about a week after buying an ion ceramic dryer with diffuser but I'm back to air drying. If I need to go somewhere I'll disffuse on warm but 99% of the time I air dry.
My curls need time to wind around and they can do that better air drying and I don't have to sweat that way. Diffusing raises my body temp whew!
I am really surprised at the amount of us that airdry. Where the heck are you?? I never see any of you around town!! When I go out with wet hair I feel like the only freak that airdries, lol!!
We stay very busy and I leave my house every morning at 7:20. I don't have enough time to airdry! I get up at 5:30 as it is. I do like the way my hair looks better when it's diffused but I like to airdry sometimes - I just hate going places with a wet head. (Although I did get a compliment on my wet hair the other day - ??)
I am impressed by how many of you airdry too! It would make life a lot easier-but I don't know if I can do it! I know it would be SO much healthier on my hair though! Today I plopped for 15 minutes then diffused on COOL for 10 minutes. Then air dried for 30 minutes or so and then ended up diffusing on COOL the rest of the way. I didn't want to go to church with wet hair. Yeah-I never see any curlies out there with wet hair! Where are you?
Tell me-will diffusing on cool damage my hair? I know the heat does-but will the cool air? I SO want healthy beautiful hair!
How long after making the CG changes did it take for your hair to look dramatically different (to you at least)?
I tend to get a stringly/noodly look if I airday. I either sleep with it plopped in a microfiber towel or I plop for 10-20 and then diffuse.

Marrying Passion and Science
Ruckelshaus is the director of the Natural Capital Project, a partnership whose objective is to improve the state of biodiversity and human well-being by motivating greater and more cost-effective investments in both. She has a bachelor's degree from Stanford University and a PhD from the University of Washington. Ruckelshaus has been a Washington state trustee for eight years. She also serves on the global Science Council for The Nature Conservancy and has served on the Conservancy's international Board of Directors.
Read a press release about Mary Ruckelshaus
Tell us about an important experience in nature for you.
Mary Ruckelshaus:
One of my most formative moments was when I was in high school and my family had just moved to Washington state from Washington, DC. (Mary's father is William Ruckelshaus, the first and fifth director of the Environmental Protection Agency.) I was in awe of the mountains here and got a job with Youth Conservation Corps doing trail maintenance in the Alpine Lakes. Because we were in wilderness we used only non-mechanized tools. My first week out there we came across a huge old Douglas-fir down across the trail. It took us all week to cut through that one tree with cross-cut saws. That experience gave me a huge appreciation for the majesty of our wilderness areas, and for the work that goes into trail-building that has stayed with me through all the backpacking I do with my family.
Salmon have been a big part of your career – where do you think we stand on salmon recovery?
Mary Ruckelshaus:
We are making headway in terms of understanding what salmon need. It's not just a harvest problem, or a hatchery problem or a habitat problem. In the old days we tried to deal with one of the pressures on salmon at a time. Now we're looking at it holistically, from the headwaters out to the ocean. Getting those strategies coordinated will definitely help salmon. Here in the Northwest and throughout the region we're now calling the Emerald Edge—Washington, British Columbia, Alaska—there's a lot to build on. If we can bolster the salmon and add to their resilience there's a good fighting chance for them.
You have so many claims on your time and your expertise and such a broad world to work in. Why do you choose to volunteer with The Nature Conservancy, and particularly with the Washington program?
Mary Ruckelshaus:
It's really because of two things. The Nature Conservancy appeals to both my heart and my brain. The people are committed and passionate about what they do, and the work is science-based and evidence driven. And of course Washington is where I live, and where I love experiencing nature.
The Nature Conservancy has long been known for buying land to protect it. We're working in new ways now to ensure that whole natural systems can function, and we're talking a lot more about the benefits nature provides to people, like clean air and clean water. Why should our members get excited about this?
Mary Ruckelshaus:
The Conservancy has always included people in its strategies. We've always worked with the people who are closest to the lands and waters where we're working, like ranchers and fishing communities. What's new is thinking bigger about getting the benefits to people from nature. By working on whole systems, we'll be reaching a greater fraction of the earth's land, air and water, and support it in a state that people can still get the benefits of clean water to drink, healthy food to eat, clean air to breathe.
Climate change – what gives you hope?
Mary Ruckelshaus:
Climate change is definitely the challenge of our generation and the next generations. We face it in all aspects of our lives. I find hope in human ingenuity. Many of the things we're already doing to promote resilient natural systems will help us adapt to climate change as well: protecting intact ecosystems, using working lands and coastal systems better. We have to pay much more attention to adapting to the climate that we are going to have to live with.

Site: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Varsity Tennis Center)
Score: Tulsa 4, #12 Michigan 3
Records: Michigan (7-4), Tulsa (11-4)
Next U-M Event: Thursday, March 17 -- at LSU (Baton Rouge, La.), 1 p.m. CDT
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 12-ranked University of Michigan men's tennis team returned home for the first time in one month but had its three-match win streak end, falling to Tulsa, 4-3, on Friday (March 11) at the Varsity Tennis Center.
Michigan won the doubles point for the second straight match -- and third time this season -- to start off the contest. Freshman Shaun Bernstein (Plainview, N.Y./Plainview Old Bethpage JFK) and sophomore Chris Cha (Eureka, Mo./University of Missouri H.S.) beat Grant Ive and Alastair Barnes (Tulsa), 8-5, before Tulsa picked up a win at No. 2, bringing the point down to the No. 1 match. Sophomore Evan King (Chicago, Ill./Kaplan) and senior Jason Jung (Torrance, Calif./West Torrance) reunited after playing the last two matches apart to defeat No. 22 Ashley Watling and Clifford Marsland (Tulsa), 8-5. King and Jung, the nation's No. 11 doubles team, grabbed the momentum after breaking the Tulsa pair to go up, 5-4, a lead they did not rescind.
Tulsa quickly seized momentum in singles, winning at Nos. 3 and 4 to take a 2-1 lead. King then tied the match up with another win at No. 1 -- his eighth in a row and sixth over a ranked opponent in that stretch -- beating No. 53 Marcelo Arevalo (Tulsa), 7-5, 6-4, after being down 4-2 in the second set.
After the tie, Tulsa won the next two matches at Nos. 2 and 6 to take the match. Jung lost to No. 117 Ashley Watling (Tulsa), 7-6 (5), 6-2, at No. 2 despite battling leg cramps throughout most of the second set, while Madden could not complete the comeback against Tristan Jackson (Tulsa), who was inserted at the last second to the Golden Hurricane lineup. Madden was down 5-2 in the third set and was battling an injury of his own, withstanding three match points to force another game, but was broken in the final game, sealing the win for Tulsa.
Despite the match being over, Michigan ended on a bright note, as freshman Justin Rossi (Novi, Mich./Laurel Springs Prep) won his third singles match in a row, downing Grant Ive (Tulsa) at No. 5, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (2).
After the brief stay at home, Michigan goes back on the road for a four-match road trip, beginning next Thursday (March 17) at LSU in Baton Rouge, La. The match is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. CDT.
The following are match-by-match results:
No. 1 -- #27 Evan King (U-M) d. #53 Marcelo Arevalo (Tulsa), 7-5, 6-4
No. 2 -- #117 Ashley Watling (Tulsa) d. #45 Jason Jung (U-M), 7-6 (5), 6-2
No. 3 -- #97 Clifford Marsland (Tulsa) d. Shaun Bernstein (U-M), 6-2, 7-6 (2)
No. 4 -- #117 Japie De Klerk (Tulsa) d. Barrett Franks (U-M), 6-3, 6-1
No. 5 -- Justin Rossi (U-M) d. Grant Ive (Tulsa), 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (2)
No. 6 -- Tristan Jackson (Tulsa) d. Chris Madden (U-M), 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-3
No. 1 -- #11 Jason Jung/Evan King (U-M) d. #22 Clifford Marsland/Ashley Watling (Tulsa), 8-5
No. 2 -- #39 Marcelo Arevalo/Japie De Klerk (Tulsa) d. Chris Madden/Barrett Franks (U-M), 8-4
No. 3 -- Shaun Bernstein/Chris Cha (U-M) d. Grant Ive/Alastair Barnes (Tulsa), 8-5
Order of Completion: Doubles 3-2-1, Singles 4-5-1-2-6*-5
* Clinched match
Michigan falls to 6-1 all-time against Tulsa.
It was Michigan's first home match in one month. Its previous home match came on Feb. 13 against Vanderbilt (lost, 5-2).
U-M's last four matches have ended 4-3. Michigan had won the previous three.
It was the second straight match that Michigan won the doubles point, and third time this season. It previously had lost the doubles point in eight consecutive contests. Michigan is 2-1 when it wins the doubles point and 5-3 when it loses it.
The doubles teams of Jung and King (at No. 1) and Bernstein and Cha (at No. 3) played together for the first time since Feb. 19 at Notre Dame.
King has won eight singles matches in a row.
Michigan Head Coach Bruce Berque
On the loss to Tulsa ... "We are playing a lot of awfully good teams this season, and Tulsa is certainly right up there. Their ranking doesn't really do them justice. They are a very good team. It's a disappointing loss, especially after we played well in doubles and won that point. We've had a lot of 4-3 matches this year and have been on the winning side of them more than the losing side, but we'll take a lot from this and get better."
On doubles ... "We're playing better, and that's really a function of how we are practicing. I think the addition of Chris Madden back has been big for us. It's allowing us to go with some different options and we are starting to execute on a more consistent basis. We've got a disciplined group. Our guys are buying in."
On Evan King ... "He's really practiced better over the last month. He was always going to do well on the college level, but he's starting to take more ownership in his play and his maturity. The key for him this season is that he's been able to improve his play at a quicker rate. He's playing phenomenally right now, no question."
On Justin Rossi ... "He's just a fighter. One of the best I've ever had. He's got high standards for his play every time he steps out onto the court, whether for a match or for practice, and he's always like that. Even though the match was over, he showed a tremendous amount of heart out there to win that match the way he did."
U-M Sophomore Evan King
On his singles play ... "I think I'm playing pretty well. I've been practicing hard Monday through Thursday and putting work in there, and I think that's starting to show up in my results. My confidence is high, and I just have to keep playing at a high level for this team."
On what Michigan takes away from the loss ... "I don't think we got cocky. Whether we were ranked eighth, 12th, whatever, we know we are going to get every team's best shot. We knew Tulsa was going to compete. We need to come into every match focused and with a chip on our shoulder. This was a good lesson."
On doubles ... "We've been practicing doubles quite a bit recently, and I think we've really improved there. Everybody is working hard, even the guys that aren't in the lineup. Every player on this team has the skill to play, I have no doubt about that. Whether Jason and I are together or split, we know we can be successful, and it's starting to show."

The Netherlands international is raring to go for the Bavarians after the summer break as he is determined to put behind him the disappointment of last season's triple defeat
The Bavarians were beaten to the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal titles by Borussia Dortmund last term, while also losing in the Champions League final to Chelsea on penalties at their own Allianz Arena.
The Dutchman conceded that he and his team-mates failed to achieve their targets, but assured fans that they are now only thinking about the new campaign.
"Last season was really disappointing," Robben was quoted as saying on the club's official website. "We simply didn't pick up the trophies we wanted. It's all behind me now, though.
"You can't go back and you can't change anything. I'm delighted we start again from scratch as usual. We may even be more motivated than before.
"Last week, I noticed that I am fully recovered. I'm fresh and I'm looking forward to the new season."
Bayern start the 2012-13 Bundesliga campaign with an away match against Greuther Furth on August 25.

I have the same experience with my SEL. It happens so quick that I have not been able to observe the tach, it is like the engine cuts out for a fraction of a second and occurs both with the cruise control on and without the cruise control on at interstate speeds. This did not occur prior to the re-flash for the transmission. I have taken it to two dealers and both say they have never heard of this and have no (flight recorders) so can't help me. On average it happens two or three times in a 90 mile trip. In the Red River Valley of the North (I-29) it is completely flat . I have observed this even occurring once during acceleration. Never have observed it driving around town at 40 mph or less. So, don't know if the clutch is disengaging or the engine is shutting down but again, it is sorta like a hesitation and loss of power for only a 1/4 or a second or so while traveling at the same speed with or without cruise engaged on a level road.
