What different roles does the color green play in The Great Gatsby?I need to know how to explain that the color green represents the American Dream?

Color imagery is especially significant in Fitzgerald's novel as it is both symbolic and descriptive in its imagery. The color green recurs throughout the narrative, suggesting various meanings and underscoring implications. Here are some examples:
Gatsby stands at the end of his lawn at the end of Chapter One, gazing with longing at the green light at the end of Daisy's pier, extending his arms and trembling with his hopes of winning Daisy back to him. For, Gatsby, then, green symbolizes the new vines of the future as he seeks to rise in social status by purchasing the house on West Egg where he is near Daisy, hoping to one day reclaim her for his own. Thus, green also symbolizes renewal as the light on Daisy's pier which Gatsby longs for represents his desire for renewal of their relationship. The mention several times of greenhouses implies regrowth for the relations between Gatsby and Daisy.
However, in Chapter Nine, Nick Carraway, the narrator, likens the green America of those who initially arrive on its shores to this green light--the aspirations toward an ideal. His analogy to Jay Gatsby's reaching for the green light, thus,places Gatsby's hopes as those of a false ideal as compared to the green bulk of America.
Gatsby's American Dream is an illusive one, for it is purchased with money and material possessions and not based upon genuine values. His almost mythical automobile has green leather seats, his green lawn is impeccable, and he always has a greehouse of flowers. When Daisy visits, Gatsby pulls out his many-colored shirts in which she buries her head delightedly, crying at the magnificence of what money can purchase.
Ironically, Gatsby senses the shallowness of Daisy, the corruption of social values in her response. With an absorbed look, Gatsby says,
"If it wasn't for the mist we could see you home across the bay....You always have a green light that burns all night at the end of your dock."
After Daisy puts her arms through his, Nick comments on the shallowness of Gatsby's dream of having Daisy,
Possibly it had occurred to him that the colossal significance of that light had now vanished forever.
The easy attainment of money on the part of Daisy--"Her voice is full of money" (Ch.7)--is a corrupting force, just as Gatsby's quick attainment of wealth through illegal channels is corrupting. As a result social values--"that light" are now less than ideal.
In Chapter Seven when Tom calls Gatsby and Nick outside onto his veranda, the water between Gatsby and Daisy seems green and sullied,
On the green Sound, stagnant in the heat, one small sail crawled slowly tward the fresher sea.
Later, when they head for the city, they stop at Wilson's garage. "In the sunlight his [Wilson's] face was green" after he "discovered that Myrtle had some sort of life apart from him."
In Nick Carraway's thinking, the ability to create meaningful symbols is an intrinsic element of the true American Dream, for ideals and values are necessary. Jay Gatsby's dream lacks these true ideals and values, for it is based upon the green of money and materialism that harbor envy and jealous, the elements of the decay of the soul.

In news startling the Bloggernacle on Joseph Smith's Birthday Eve, the Pussy Grabbernacle Choir, née Mormon Tabernacle Choir, announced its Telestial Outreach Tour. They'll be supported by opening acts Ted Nugent and Kid Rock.
The first tour stop will be at the swearing-in ceremony during the presidential inauguration at the U.S. Capitol next month in Washington, D.C. President-elect Donald Trump pulled off the coup by convincing Mitt Romney during a much -publicized recent dinner at Trump Tower, "What about those fantastic white-robed singers of yours? Dozens upon dozens of them, all singing the same song. Can you get them for me, Mittens?"
The Choir is giddy for the opportunity, "We'll probably call our fans on this tour "Detourables. It's a cute way to rally the masses," said Mack Wilberg, choir director.
The outreach to those Telestial-bound is a 180-degree shift away from former leaders' statements. Thomas S. Monson, Chairman of the Board of the Corporation of the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, once said, "Behaviors which once were considered inappropriate and immoral are now not only tolerated but also viewed by ever so many as acceptable. The moral compass of the masses has gradually shifted to an 'almost anything goes' position."
MoTab will have tough gowns to fill in D.C.: Beyoncé Knowles performed at the penultimate presidential inauguration back in 2013.

Samsung/Androids by far. I can chuck my phone across the room with 0 damage. 1 phone drop and boom screen shattered. You can do a lot more on androids anyways. Dunno why people like iphones so much.. they're kinda just a plain jane at a premium price in my opinion.42|20|0

This will obviously depend upon a few things.
I assume you are talking about current flagship models, so iPhone 6S/6S+ and Samsung Galaxy S7.
On the hardware side, the iPhone has a more powerful processor (the Apple A9 chip, vs the Snapdragon 820). On the flipside, the S7 has more RAM (4GB, vs the iPhone's 2GB). The S7 has a higher pixel count and pixel density (2560x1440 in 5.1"), but the iPhone screen is still pretty sharp (1920x1080, 5.5", 6S Plus).
Their cameras sport the same pixel count and video resolution (12MP stills and 4K video, although the iPhone's sensor supports 1080p recording at 120fps).
Their battery capacities are also similar, at 2750mAh in the 6S Plus and 3000mAh in the S7, although personally I find the 6S lasts a little longer. (More optimised OS, less pixels to power, etc).
As for the software, that will be purely objective.
I hopped off the Android train at around V4.3, and jumped on iOS at V9.2. While I can say iOS is going really well, even on my current 4S, I was having a bad experience with Android as I was on an older, budget smartphone (Huawei Y300). The OS choice will have to be up to you.
So really, they're fairly evenly matched.

EQT to Plow Pipeline Sale Proceeds into Marcellus, Huron Wells
EQT Corp. on Wednesday announced the sale of the Big Sandy Pipeline to Spectra Energy Partners, LP for $390 million. The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of 2011.
Big Sandy is an approximately 70-mile, 20-inch diameter, natural gas pipeline regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Placed in service in April 2008 with a current capacity of 171,000 Dth per day, Big Sandy transports natural gas from the Langley, Kentucky natural gas processing complex, to ultimately the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast markets.
"The sale of our Big Sandy Pipeline is another step in our commitment to prioritize our capital and accelerate our most profitable investment opportunities, which means primarily Marcellus and also Huron development activities. We will continue to fund this acceleration through our operating cash flow, additional asset sales and available debt capacity," said David Porges, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "We have contracted for capacity to ensure delivery of our growing Huron production and look forward to working with Spectra Energy Partners."
EQT will invest the majority of the proceeds in developing the Company's approximately 520,000 Marcellus acres, including associated midstream gathering; and to develop its extensive Huron reserves. EQT now expects to drill 100 Marcellus wells and 120 Huron wells in 2011. The Company's 2011 CAPEX forecast is increased to between $1,200 and $1,250 million; of which approximately 75% will be used for well development. As a result of this additional investment, EQT is increasing its 2011 production sales volume guidance to between 185 and 190 Bcfe; and establishes a preliminary 2012 volume target of between 245 and 250 Bcfe. A final 2012 target will be set when the Company establishes its 2012 capital budget later this year.
EQT Corp. is an integrated energy Company with emphasis on Appalachian area natural gas production, gathering, transmission and distribution.

Amazon Kindle leads the growing e-reader market, but numerous other
competitors are expected to enter the market. As the market
expands, book publishers are still trying to work through royalties,
e-book prices, and electronic rights related to shared materials.An
estimated 2.8 million e-readers are in use in the United States --
excluding e-books read on PCs -- with 2009 e-book sales exploding
176.6 percent year-over-year.E-books make up just 3 percent
of books sold, but that number also is expected to increase while
consumers become more familiar with e-readers and e-books.Following
traditional print publishing, there are more women e-book readers at
the moment, while men favor magazines and newspapers. Both Sony
and Barnes & Noble discovered their products were being used more
by older users, but analysts are unsure if this is an industry-wide
statistic."We're not
finding the more-mature trend, and only a very slight tendency
for men to own e-readers more than women," Risa Becker, GfK MRI
VP of research operations, said earlier in the spring.Although
GfK MRI didn't see a trend towards older consumers, it will be
interesting to see if the recent e-reader price cuts are able to
bring in a younger audience. Younger readers may also be
waiting for e-book prices to lower and stabilize before purchasing an
e-reader and e-books -- though Becker did say e-book users are likely
to be college-educated, make more than $100K per year, and are very
tech savvy.

Ardent Mills, the largest flour miller in the U.S., has leased four floors in a building at 1875 Lawrence St. for its corporate headquarters, the company said in a news release Tuesday. About 200 people will eventually work in the office.
Ardent, the tie up of the flour milling operations of three agribusiness giants, officially began business in May after shedding four mills to resolve anti-trust concerns.
"Once built out over the next few months, we will have four floors of this 15-story facility, including one floor dedicated to our Research, Quality and Technical Culinary Center and bake laboratory," Ardent Mills' chief integration officer Bill Stoufer said in a release.
CEO Dan Dye said the downtown location places Ardent Mills in an ideal location to execute its corporate vision. "It gives us great proximity to our Colorado mills, provides linkages with farmers and close collaboration with public universities like Colorado State University and is reflective of the health conscious, active, innovative nature of the Ardent Mills' brand."
The company has 40 milling operations in North America, including mills in Denver and Commerce City where specialty flours are made from wheat developed at Colorado State University.

Hold on here. We are supposed to be reducing emissions not creating wealth! Solar PV is not very good at making significant carbon reduction in this country. Why do you think it has such a huge subsidy (thats what FIT is)? The whole PV industry emphasises income generation and without FIT nobody in their right mind would make that investment.
Having seen installations on North facing roofs, in total shade, etc, installed by so called MCS accredited companies it is more than apparent that the whole PV situation has been a licence to print money. Interesting to note that it is easy to find how much we have installed in terms of installed peak capacity but very difficult to find out how much has actually been generated. I wonder why?

What's up family?
This day is always a somber one for me; it's a day that I don't let slip by without giving some thought or consideration because it's just too important. On this day, 45 years ago, on the catwalk outside Room 306, the world was forever changed. So today I'm going to share what April 4th means to me.
That's not a stock photo, but this is a picture that I was fortunate enough to take. Back in May of 2011, I was invited to join my professor, and his father, on a road trip to Memphis. We were there for a funeral service conference, but he didn't leave us cooped up in the hotel. He got us out to see the sights of Memphis. As a member of the Church of God in Christ, you would think that I have been to Memphis countless times, but I had been there only once before. We (My sister Kim, my father, and myself) drove 16 hours to go to Bishop G.E. Patterson's funeral in 2007. We got there before the service started, about 6 AM. Then after the service, we drove 16 hours home. I don't think we'll be doing that again… But this was my first time to see Memphis as a tourist and I was able to take in the sights, the sounds (blues), and the food. YOU MUST GO TO THIS PLACE TO GET SOME CHICKEN:
Gus' World Famous Fried Chicken – 310 S. Front Street, Memphis, TN. Believe it or not, I have not had that chicken since I went in 2011. But I made it a point to remember the address. I don't have to look it up. The chicken is that good.
I promise this post isn't about chicken….I digress. But the Lorraine Motel was converted into a Civil Rights museum. I would encourage anyone that is able to go, to do so. It was such an eye opening experience of the entire movement and culminated with the death of Dr. King.
We often see pictures of Dr. King giving speeches and leading marches. But these images are some that I don't want people to forget:
So here are some of my reflections on these images. The first may be a point of view you might not have considered. But with aspirations of being a funeral director one day, and ironically traveling to Memphis for a funeral service conference, the thought did cross my mind about the amount of pressure that the funeral director would be under to have to prepare the body of Dr. King. I've seen some large funerals and I know the nervousness is there, but nothing can compare to this. I could only imagine standing over the slain body of a leader of this magnitude. The preparation aside, I would just wonder if I would be able to hold myself together.
Interestingly enough, I remembered a story airing on my local news channel, WAVY-TV 10 about the embalmer that prepared the body of Dr. King. He broke his silence for the first time almost 41 years after he performed this daunting task. Not to get to technical, but the official cause of death was: "gunshot wound to the chin and neck with a total transaction of the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord and other structures of the neck." Here is a drawing from The [US] House [of Representatives] Select Committee on Assassinations Investigation of the Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.. This drawing is based off of photographs taken during the autopsy:
This image shows that Dr. King had extensive damage to his face and neck. What this translates to a lot of funeral directors is: "Closed Casket Funeral." But R.S. Lewis, the undertaker responsible for preparing Dr. King's body, knew that this man meant a whole lot to so many people. He knew a closed casket wouldn't do; there were 20 million Negroes in the country that would want to see Dr. King one last time. So he did, in my estimation, and humble opinion, a masterful job, considering what he had to work with. Click here for the article or you can watch this short video interview with Mr. Lewis:
So my first reflection is how important funeral service providers are. It is with the works of their hands that people are able to start the closure process with the departing of their loved one. But this video is proof that all funeral directors are morbid people removed from emotion. I'm touched by death myself… Yesterday, I visited the graves of my late Cousin Flossie, my Great-Grand-Ma Virginia, my former pastor, Bishop Clark, his son Dr. Clark, and his aunt, and my special friend, Aunt Clara. Death hurts and when it is somebody so loved and so revered…you can't help but to feel something. But I wanted to pay some respect to Mr. Lewis because 45 years later, I still think that he did an outstanding job. Oftentimes, funeral directors, or undertakers (the old school word that I prefer), work behind the scenes and don't often get credit for their work. He did a wonderful job… But his rationale for coming forward is how I will segue into the thrust of my reflections on today…
Mr. Lewis pretty much said that he came forward because he didn't want anybody to forget that Dr. King died. That in and of itself is such a poignant statement…take a minute a reflect on that.
Consider this: Nature prefers the paths of least resistance. Imagine a small stream and you but a boulder in it. What will happen? The water will find the path of least resistance and either flow around or overflow. Our bodies are created the same way. When you think of how your circulatory system works (that's your heart, arteries, capillaries veins, etc.), it is a closed system. If you can look at your hand right now and see no bleeding, then that system is working as it should. But the moment a finger get's poked or you scrape a knee, that closed system is now open. That opening provides no resistance, so you bleed. We tend to go after the things that are the easiest to cope with. The things that are easiest to understand. But the fact of the matter is as long as life is in the body, whether you bleed or not (whether the system is open or closed), that doesn't stop the blood from flowing.
Here's my point. It's easy to remember pictures of Martin Luther King alive. We can sing wonderful songs about him. We can pick up trash in the neighborhood on his holiday. We can quote his speeches and get filled with sorts of Black History Month nostalgia. That's the path of least resistance. It's friendly. It's likable. It's tolerable. Just to say his name, to some, is supposed to bear significance. Listen to this following track. I apologize in advance for the vulgarity of the language, but receive it in the light that I'm delivering my message:
I had heard this song before…when it opened up with, "Martin had a dream." I knew that it would end up going down hill from there. And it did. In disbelief, I continued to prowl YouTube in search of this "Backseat Freestyle," and I saw that Kendrick Lamar performed this in the UK. One of the comments on that particular video was something to the effect that this rapper got people in the UK to say, "Martin had a dream." I'm sorry, in my estimation, that wasn't a "we shall overcome" moment. It's easy to just think about Martin as a living individual and reminiscing on the dream he had. But it's through the path of resistance that strength is gained, events are appreciated, and truth is revealed. As great as it to know that Dr. King lived, it means more to me that he died. And that's one thing I wish our entertainment sector would remember.
To all of those bragging about how many cars you have, how many b**ches you pull, how much money you have, how fly you are…place yourself on the catwalk outside of Room 306, at the Lorraine Motel, on April 4, 1968, at 6:01 PM. At this time one shot rings out. The leader you were just talking to is now laying on his back. His knees are bent, his feet are tucked under the railing, he has a gaping wound in is face and neck, he's sinking into unconsciousness he's laying in a pool of his own blood. Once you place yourself in that situation, at that hour, on that day, how relevant is the money? How important is the womanizing? How much does it mean to you to drink and smoke away millions? Does that matter at all? His blood, along with so many others, was shed so we could have an opportunity to excel…but degrading our women, filling up jails, and murdering each other? Is that why he died? To brag about how rich you are when the people supporting you might not have enough money to make rent…is that why he died?
It is important that he died because I realize why. And to ensure that he didn't die in vain, I have to do more than throw his name in a rap song. I have to do more paint an orphanage on the third Monday in January. More is required from me. What is required that I take advantage of the opportunity that his blood, and blood of countless others, purchased…not by taking advantage of others. Not by misguiding others. But leading others, especially the youth, down a path where they can make this country even greater. That's what April 4th means to me. This is the path of resistance, but it's by the this path that we can empower the future generations to make the most of what Dr. King and others died for.
I don't want people to forget that he lived, but I certainly don't want people to forget that he died and why.
There's one more thing about death…my father pointed this out Resurrection Sunday. The seed has to be buried in order to bring forth life. From the death and burial of Dr. King, I would like to think that new life can be brought. Please don't think that I'm esteeming him as a god, but follow my logic. The new life I'm speaking of is an appreciation of past struggles and stride for higher heights. I'm not speaking of just the material, but the mental and cultural capital. A new life that makes the lives of the generations to follow better than what w enjoyed.
In closing, I just want to encourage you not to forget the importance of this day. The path of least resistance is to look out for one's self, but on this day, I challenge you to take the path of resistance and reflect on how you can help somebody else reach their full potential. Think of ways that you can help somebody else be great. With his act of martyrdom, Dr. King did just that for us. And I don't take it lightly.
I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself, but my next post will have something to do about Blacks and the Democratic party…and a doctor that's not afraid to speak… He's been making headlines here lately. Do you know who I'm talking about? Until the next time…

Intel IoT Instructable Posted
The Intel IoT Invitational Instructable Contest was extended a few times. It closed monday 9Nov. Our entry for the AINA: Field Lab Using Edison IoT was successfully submitted and is garnering interest (1400+ views in about 1 day). The project proved out several of its goals, found some issues with the Edison/Bluetooth, and leaves many options for ruggedization and enhancement.
Some of the major issues to be addressed:
- Bluetooth activation and pairing seems to require console access (command line tools) on the Edison. Rather silly for an embedded device with no or minimal human interface.
- Grove connectors and cables are not adequate for outdoor use
- Proper housing of a field lab unit has many issues not addressed in the project
- weather protection of electronics
- exposure of sensors to elements they need to test
- ventilation while protecting from flora and fauna (geckos, bugs, mold, etc)
Please check out the instructable and Vote for it before Nov 12!

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Fuyao Glass America has been fined more than $200,000 in 2016 by OSHA and the Department of Labor.
In a release from the Department of Labor, workers began making complaints of unsafe working conditions shortly after the plant opened in October 2015 leading to eight separate federal investigations and $226,937 in penalties.
Those inspections found several violations including machine safety problems that "expose workers to amputation and other serious injuries, as well as a lack of personal protective equipment, electrical hazards, failing to train workers about hazardous chemicals in use and unmarked exits."
The Department of Labor says Fuyao has contested all the following OSHA violations issued this year.
According to Department of Labor records, Fuyao has been investigated eight times this year and found to have 24 safety violations. The records do not detail the specifics of each instance. You can find more details about these complaints and fines on the Department of Labor website.
The United Auto Workers said in May that workers at Fuyao Glass America filed formal complaints with the Cincinnati office of OSHA.

2 NEWS contacted Fuyao Glass America about the Department of Labor release and received a written response.
"Fuyao remains committed to total employee health and safety. Since beginning operations, Fuyao has spent over three million dollars on protective equipment, training, machine guarding, and other safety equipment," the statement said. Fuyao confirmed they challenged the citations and proposed fines, they also said they, "look forward to continuing to work with OSHA as well as on other safety initiatives in our facility."

The other day mom called a well-known company that sells medical alert systems. She wanted to inquire about obtaining one for my grandmother, who lives next door to her. After the customer service rep gave her the information, this happened:
Mom: "Well, I'd like to think about it."
Woman: "What's there to think about? THIS IS YOUR MOTHER!"
Mom: "Uhh, excuse me but if I wanted a guilt trip, I'd get it from my mother!" Then she hung up the phone.
A short time later, mom talked to her sister, who gave her information she had obtained from a competitor. Mom called the company and spoke to the man in customer service my aunt had talked to earlier. He was polite and knowledgeable, discussed the product and service in detail with mom, and answered her many questions. Afterwards mom felt confident enough with the information that she decided to purchase it from that company. NO GUILT TRIP REQUIRED!
And here ends the lesson on how to sell...or better yet, how not to sell a product.

What can Andrew McCutchen do this season?
A .274 average, 19 homers, 65 RBIs, 100 runs, 28 steals.
That's what we project for Andrew McCutchen in 2010, and honestly, I think it's very accurate. Well, I suppose the runs and steals could be a tad high, but it's at least reasonable to expect that from the 2009 call-up.
But here's the real question: Is that ninth-round material in a 10-team league? I mean, he obviously hasn't yet had the season we've projected above; we're just speculating he will. With that in mind, is he worth being taken over Michael Young (fresh off a .322 season), Johnny Damon (.282, 24 homers, 82 RBIs, 107 runs, 12 steals in 2009) and Hunter Pence (.282-25-72-76-14 in '09)?
McCutchen is being taken, on average, 87th in ESPN average live drafts, ahead of the other three players above. Maybe it's just me, but I'd feel a lot more comfortable taking the player who has had the season we're projecting above, rather than the guy who might have it.
That's my problem with McCutchen. I like the player and his 25-homer, 25-steal potential (and yes, potential is all it is right now), but in the drafts I've been in, he's being taken when he's barely a blip on my radar screen, at least a full round before I'd even consider him. In fact, I'm shocked he's being taken as late as 87th in ESPN standard leagues; in the leagues in which I've already drafted, he was taken among the top 75. I'll bet that has happened -- or will -- in many of your leagues, too. Point being, if you really want him, you'll likely have to take him by at least early in the ninth round.
OK, so let's go back to that projection. Hmm sounds a little like, well, like a typical Alex Rios season. Rios had a down season in 2009, but the three previous years he was a top fantasy outfielder, going for a .291 average, 15 homers and 32 steals in 2008. We have him projected for .276-22-79-23 in 2010. Oh, and he's only 29, far from over the hill. Well, he's being taken, on average, with the 116th pick, three rounds later.
Or there's Nate McLouth. In 2008, he had an even better season compared to what we're projecting for McCutchen (.296-26-94 with 113 runs and 23 steals). He missed time last year because of a hamstring, playing only 129 games between Pittsburgh and Atlanta, and he still finished with 20 homers and 19 steals. We have McLouth projected at .266-22-72, with 95 runs and 22 steals. He's being taken, on average, with the 114th pick in ESPN standard leagues.
You see what I'm saying here? There are scores of reliable players being taken after a player who tailed off greatly -- .268 average, three steals, one homer in 112 at-bats in September -- once the book got out on him. Lance Berkman is being taken after McCutchen. Raul Ibanez. Jason Bartlett. Denard Span. Michael Bourn. If you throw in pitchers, you have Ricky Nolasco, Matt Cain and Cole Hamels.
I'm just not seeing it. Is it fair to like McCutchen this much to pick him over proven top players? I mean, I know he's young and has come on strong in the past few years, but he's a career .286 hitter in the minors, with 43 homers in nearly 2,000 at-bats. Oh, and in case you think he's headed for a 40- to 50-steal season, here are his steals by year as a pro: 17 in 2005, 23, 22, 21, 34 and 32 last season. That's not the track record many 40-steal major leaguers have.
But what about his brilliance after being called up in 2009? Hey, no arguments there; the kid was a lot better than any of us could have expected. But it's not like it wasn't anything we haven't seen before. He didn't even win the NL Rookie of the Year award, though he played four full months in the majors; he lost out to fellow outfielder Chris Coghlan. McCutchen's 2009 also isn't a true precursor to a top-100 season. He got 433 at-bats in 2009. If we take his production out to the 602 at-bats we project him to get this season, we're looking at .286-17-75, with 103 runs and 31 steals. Good numbers, but not extraordinary, surefire top-100 numbers. Not enough that I'd take him over Young or Pence.
McCutchen is an impressive player, with great all-around ability both offensively and defensively. He's just too young to expect big numbers from right now. In August I saw a player who was being challenged by opposing pitchers, and he showed he can hit the fastball. One month later, I saw a player who was getting a steady diet of breaking balls. (He struggles to hit the breaking stuff; in 2009, he hit just .147 against righty curveballs and .077 against lefty curves.) To his credit, he was smart enough to wait out the breaking stuff and draw walks, but he also struck out once per every four at-bats in September. He's a good enough hitter to someday make the adjustment and learn to hit the hook, but for now he's still an incomplete hitter, not one you bank on for a big
And it's not like his team is going to help him much. In two of the five roto categories, runs and RBIs, a hitter's team plays a big part in his production. And the Pittsburgh Pirates were dead last in runs scored in 2009. They scored 111 runs fewer than even the league average, and it's not like they've loaded up on hitters for 2010. Remember a few years ago when we would downgrade Jason Bay because of the team he played on? Why would we not do the same thing here? Certainly McCutchen has 100-run ability, but we can't really expect that many from him when his team scored only 636 runs all last season.
If you're the type of owner who likes to roll the dice and take chances on young players, pick McCutchen right around the spot he's being drafted now. Be my guest. But while you're taking him and hoping he produces the numbers above (or slightly better), I'll be taking hitters who have proved they already can, or in some cases just did.
McCutchen will be in that "already-proven" class someday, probably in the next 2-3 years. Of course, by then we'll probably be writing about some other hot second-year "phenom" who just had a better-than-expected rookie season.

Who doesn't love a good lasagna? With hearty marinara sauce, bubbling cheese, and crispy bits on the top, it's the perfect comfort food. So what do you do when you're vegan? You still make a lasagna, damnit! Being vegan doesn't mean depriving yourself of delicious food. And even if you're not vegan, I guarantee you'll like this lasagna because it's tastes like classic Italian comfort food.
The main components of this dish are (1) marinara sauce, (2) tofu "ricotta" cheese, (3) mashed butternut squash, (4) sautéed mushrooms and shallots, and lasagna noodles. But you can easily customize this recipe to make it your own. Try adding sautéed kale or frozen, thawed spinach to get in those greens; substitute eggplant for mushrooms; or substitute the marinara sauce with pesto.
Finally, this dish is as easy to make as any lasagna. Don't let the "tofu ricotta" trick you into thinking this is hard. It requires no cooking and takes 5 minutes to make! Bon Appétit!
Vegan Butternut Squash & Mushroom Lasagna with Tofu Ricotta
Serves 8
- 1 24-ounce jar of marinara sauce (I use this brand)
- 1 9-ounce package of no-boil whole wheat lasagna noodles (can substitute gluten-free noodles)
- 1 medium butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons of Earth Balance vegan butter or coconut oil at room temperature
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- 5-6 shallots, chopped
- 1 pound of shiitake mushrooms or mushrooms of choice, sliced thinly
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 10-15 thyme sprigs
- Large handful of fresh sage leaves
- Olive oil for cooking vegetables and greasing pan
- Tofu Ricotta Cheese (recipe below)
- 2 tablespoons of vegan parmesan cheese (optional, I use this brand)
- A few fresh basil leaves or parsley, sliced thinly or minced
Tofu Ricotta
- 1 14-ounce container of firm tofu
- 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 scant teaspoon of sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1.5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 10-15 basil leaves
- 1 lemon (half of the zest and all of the juice)
- 2 tablespoons of vegan parmesan cheese (optional)
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- For the tofu, place unwrapped tofu on a cutting board or plate. Wrap with a few paper towels. Place a heavy can of beans or several books on top of the tofu to press out the excess water. Do this for 30 minutes or so.
- Meanwhile, make the butternut squash. Simply slice the squash in half, vertically. Scoop out the seeds and stringy flesh. Lightly brush the flesh of each half with olive oil and salt and pepper. Place skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until the flesh is fork-tender and soft.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350 F.
- While the squash is cooling, make the mushroom and shallot mixture. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the mushrooms, shallots, and the thyme sprigs, and salt & pepper to taste. Cook for 7-9 minutes until browned, and discard the thyme sprigs.
- In the same skillet, head 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add 6-8 sage leaves at a time, and fry for 5 seconds on each side. Drain on a paper towel, and repeat with remaining leaves.
- Once the butternut squash is cool, remove the skin. If it is tender, the skin should be easy to take off. Put cooked squash in a bowl. Add vegan butter (or coconut oil) and salt & pepper to taste. Use an immersion blender or potato masher to mash the squash, as you would for mashed potatoes.
- To make the tofu ricotta: crumble the pressed tofu into large chunks and put in a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until you have a creamy texture like ricotta cheese. Taste for salt, acidity, and cheesiness, adding more salt, lemon juice, or nutritional yeast, respectively, as needed.
- To assemble the lasagna: Lightly oil the bottom of a 13×9 baking pan. Pour about 1 cup of marinara sauce onto the bottom of the pan. Top with 4 no-boil lasagna noodles. Spread noodles with butternut squash mash, top with mushroom and onion mixture, scatter a few crispy sage leaves, add a layer of tofu ricotta and spread it out, and finally top with a layer of marinara sauce. Repeat the layers, ending with marinara sauce.
- Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover the pan and top with 2 additional tablespoons of vegan parmesan cheese, if desired. Bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes.
- Top with fresh basil or parsley leaves.

Tall & skinny, the Distrikt Hotel is 32 floors/155 rooms of boutique chic-ness. Every three floors is done in a different "theme" with art dedicated to NYC's neighborhoods. We stayed on a Harlem floor – there's also Chelsea, the Financial District, Central Park & others. One thing I loved about the hotel is how it seamlessly blended in with its neighbors in the Fashion District's transitioning neighborhood. I was nervous about the fact that the hotel was located across from the Port Authority Bus Terminal, but never felt unsafe, even at 1am. Even more encouraging, the hotel is active in the Fashion Center Business Improvement District & the over 60 non-profits that call the area home. I was also excited to learn that the hotel was totally locally focused – the walnut wood used in the amazing carvings in the elevators & behind the front desk was locally sourced, the architecture firm is based in Manhattan, the designer is based in Brooklyn, & even the welcome treats that greet every guest are baked locally. It's the first hotel in New York City to completely focus on the City.
Our Grandview King room felt palatial by New York City hotel standards, but was actually only 250 sq ft. The amazing view of the Hudson River, Hell's Kitchen & Times Square made me want to spend as much time as possible in the room. The linens were crisp & soft, the dresser & wardrobe space ample, & the little touches like the cupcakes they left us along with a "Happy Anniversary" note made the stay feel special.
The other thing that sets the Distrikt Hotel apart is the customer service. After a bit of a glitch & a rocky start at check-in (which I Tweeted about), our concerns were immediately addressed by the front desk manager & more than made up for. The majority of the staff was welcoming & even remembered little details like the fact that we had our anniversary dinner at Le Bernardin (& allowing us to gush about it the next day).
While the Library Hotel will always have a soft spot in my heart, it's nice to have another chic, comfortable boutique hotel option in New York City. Distrikt Hotel, we will be back.
If you go, know…
– It's definitely worth it to pay a little extra for a "Grandview" room – especially if you're not a regular NYC visitor. Even on our third day there, I still could not get over how spectacular the view was.
– The breakfast in bistro downstairs was a bit limited & a bit pricey. It probably fits the needs for the European travelers who seemed to fill the hotel, but if you're looking for a big, American-style breakfast, you're better off to hit one of NYC's many diners.
– I never found a book in our room that detailed the hotel's services & area attractions, but learned it never hurts to ask – the front desk was able to shine my shoes for me!
– The robe provided in the room is lovely, but there's only one. Probably could have gotten a second one if I had asked, but it seemed odd that I would have to ask when the reservation was for two people.
– You won't be able to get a cab to save your life. This isn't the hotel's fault; it's just how the City is. So be prepared to walk, or take the subway – it's very conveniently located to the hotel just down W. 40th.
You may be surprised to know…
– the bellman speaks six languages
– starting in November 2011, the hotel will be using completely green solar & wind energy for their electricity needs
– the hotel is part of Choice Hotels Ascend Collection. Better known for their budget road trip options, Choice started acquiring boutique hotels three years ago
– the tile work in the lobby is an exact match to that in Grand Central Station
– the spelling of Distrikt comes from the Dutch spelling – the original settlers in New York City

Go ahead! use your expired films!
Just like food, film comes with an expiration date on the package. Don't worry, they will not give you indigestion and actually are pretty fun to use if you like Lomography style effects. Film can generally still be used many years after it has expired. But when a film is expired, things can sometimes start to get a little unpredictable, resulting with strange color shifts and much more!
If you have a film that will expire soon and want to keep it nice and fresh, put it in the fridge! It will help preserve the film for much longer!

Hoops Rumors is looking ahead to offseason moves for all 30 teams. We'll examine free agency, the draft, trades and other key storylines for each franchise as the summer approaches.
Coaching Search
It'll be interesting to see whether president of basketball operations Larry Bird holds himself accountable in the same fashion by which he held Frank Vogel to a dauntingly high standard. If so, he'll have to nail the search for Vogel's replacement. Among the legitimate candidates, Nate McMillan and Brian Shaw have Pacers ties, but their track records don't favor the go-go style Bird seems to want. Count Mike Woodson squarely in the stagnant-offense group, too. Jim Boylen was to help speed up the Bulls offense as an assistant this year, but that experiment flopped. Mike D'Antoni helped forge the NBA's small-ball revolution, but it's fair to question whether Bird wants to deal with a strong personality like his. The same goes for Mark Jackson, though he and Bird had a successful working relationship as player and coach.
Jeff Hornacek is much more understated and did masterful work with a two-headed point guard look his first year in Phoenix. Randy Wittman ratcheted up the Wizards offense to the fifth-highest pace in the league this season, according to NBA.com, and the Indiana native would help win over a fanbase skeptical of the Vogel firing. Hornacek and Wittman are the best fits in the running thus far.
What Happened To Ty Lawson?
Transitioning to a quicker attack is about more than finding the right coach. The Pacers lost two starting-caliber big men from their 2014/15 team but replaced Roy Hibbert and David West with only one proven starting option on the perimeter in Monta Ellis, so Bird needs to use the ample cap flexibility at his disposal to make at least one major addition. An outside chance exists that the upgrade is one the team already made when it signed Lawson in March. A foot injury he suffered five minutes into his first game with the Pacers knocked him out for two weeks, and he never became a major contributor, essentially falling out of the rotation late in Indiana's first-round series against Toronto.
Perhaps Lawson failed to deliver because Vogel didn't give him enough of a chance, or maybe the blame rests with Lawson, who didn't succeed with the Rockets, either. Regardless, the speedy point guard is only 28 and just a year removed from averaging 15.2 points and 9.6 assists per game for the Nuggets. He may well prove one of the few value plays on the free agent market this summer if he takes the right approach and has the right voices in his ear. If so, and the Pacers re-sign him, he'd be the missing piece in the starting lineup, with everyone else sliding down a position. Of course, that assumes Paul George would be more receptive to guarding power forwards than he was at the beginning of this past season, but maybe the right coach can either convince him or devise lineup combinations that would limit his time at the four.
Free Agent Targets
The Pacers are set to open plenty of cap room, and just how much flexibility they'll have will come down to whether they're willing to keep Ian Mahinmi and give him the significant raise it would take for them to do so. Bird is duly impressed with Myles Turner, and a decent chance exists that the rookie's strong performance this season was enough to convince the Pacers to let Mahinmi walk and turn the starting center position over to the 20-year-old from Texas. Such a move would free money for the Pacers to go hard after the perimeter player of their choice.
Indianapolis native Mike Conley would be an obvious candidate, though one for whom the Pacers would have fervent competition. Harrison Barnes would appear to be a strong fit, no stranger to a modern, souped-up offense, and he's just the sort of perimeter player who could guard power forwards and let George play the three. Still, his free agency is restricted, and it may well take the max, or close to it, to convince the Warriors not to match. Nicolas Batum's free agency will be unrestricted, but it seems like he'll be tough to pry from Charlotte. Plugging Luol Deng into the same small-ball power forward role in which he's thrived with Miami would represent a cheaper and more feasible alternative, and the Pacers could always attempt to crack the riddle that is Jeff Green.
Potential Trades
Another way to use cap space is to absorb players into it via trade, and the Pacers could revisit their reported discussion with the Hawks about Jeff Teague. Still, plenty of teams figure to call Atlanta about either Teague or Dennis Schröder, driving up the price. Bird and company could see what it would take to trade for Derrick Rose if they're willing to overpay him for a season before his contract runs out. Ricky Rubio's name comes up frequently in trade rumors, though newly minted Wolves executive Tom Thibodeau is a wild card. The Pacers have all their future draft picks to offer up, but they'd probably have a tough time finding a taker for anyone on the roster who isn't part of their core.
Draft Outlook
- First-round picks: 20th
- Second-round picks: 50th
The Pacers have four players taken in the last two drafts plus undrafted developmental player Shayne Whittington, but only Turner sees meaningful minutes. The Pacers probably trade this pick if Bird doesn't identify someone at No. 20 who'd motivate him to move on from Whittington, Joe Young or Glenn Robinson III. Perhaps Baylor small forward Taurean Prince, who played four years of college ball, would contribute immediately for Indiana if he were the pick here. Indiana's second-rounder is in a prime spot for the always cost-conscious Pacers to trade it for cash.
Other Decisions
Bird said he wouldn't rule out re-signing Solomon Hill, but the ill-fated decision to decline his team option for next season sharply limits what the Pacers can offer him and almost certainly closes off the possibility of him remaining with Indiana. Fellow soon-to-be free agent Jordan Hill was an efficient rebounder, as usual, but Vogel went away from him during the stretch run and the playoffs, and he doesn't seem a fit for a new coach's faster style, either. The non-guaranteed salaries of Robinson and Whittington become fully guaranteed on August 1st, so the moves Indiana makes in the draft and free agency, rather than their training camp performances, will decide their fate.
Final Take
Bird seems impatient for the team to return to the Eastern Conference elite, and it's tough to blame him for wanting a more unified focus than the team had this past season. Still, Vogel did a splendid job with a roster in the midst of transition. The team's cap flexibility means it'll probably have better players next season, but they risk offsetting the upgrade to their lineup with an inferior coach.

Good news to all Windows Phone 7 users, soon! you will be getting the ability to take screenshots on your WP phone. No, it's not official, but a homebrew app, courtsey Julian Schapman.
"Using the Windows Phone Device Manager, developed by Schapman, in conjunction with his app 'TouchXperience' one is reportedly presented with the ability to take screenshots on their device. Requiring the form of multitasking, this is a fantastic feature to bring to the homebrew table. The guys at Smartphone France proved their word by taking a bunch of screenshots on their LG Optimus 7."
WPCentral reports that the developer is planning on releasing the Windows Phone Device Manager and TouchXperience for WP7 "soon" and is still undergoing testing with private testers (only donators are eligible for enrolment).
Smartphone France have used the application, and even provided screenshots which prove it's legitimacy.

Amber Najm, well known for being the wife of famous Rapper T-Pain, had a rather controversial past since both the duo admitted to have been involved in threesome with other women. There was news all over the media about the unknown question of whether T-Pain's wife Amber was a bisexual.
In a telephonic interview of T-Pain with TT Torez, he opened up about his threesome with his wife and other women. He was clear cut about his intensions and that he loves his wife more than anything.
A lot of people were saying me and my wife were swingers and that we had like a Will-and-Jada kinda open marriage and I was just telling them that me and my wife just sleep with other girls together. It's not like we can just go off and have relationships with other people. People were assuming we got married for nothing. Just because we smash a every now and then doesn't mean we have an open marriage.
Did you know that T-Pain had a child with someone other than his wife - at the time when he was still married to Amber? According to Baller Life, the Up and Down singer had a child with reality star Elisa Hood. There was also a controversy created where the mother of the baby boy sued T-Pain for not providing for any child support.
After 11 years of marriage, in an interview with Sister 2 Sister, 31 year old T-Pain expressed that he understand the meaning and importance of his family and wife. T-Pain has three children with his wife - a daughter named Lyriq, and sons named Muziq and Kaydnz.
I definitely wanted to be a better husband, a better father, and just better my life so that my family can live good. I came to a point that, even though I had so much money and even though I was doing so good, none of that stuff is going to mean anything if my family ain't okay.

Thanks jo.i was going to put up a cider bottle or two in the tunnel but i guess theres no need to now.By the way,...monsanto?
Thanks dovefromabove.On closer inspection i think they are indeed hoverflies,smaller antennae and body.Are they friend or foe to the gardener?
Ithink i might have a problem in my tunnel.Just this afternoon i noticed there was maybe a hundred or so wasps in my tunnel,all congregated at one end up at the roof of it.They all seem to be young wasps and they did not bother me (nor i them i might add)whilst i was doing my daily chores in tunnel but i want rid of them asap.There is no sign of any nest in or around the tunnel as far as i can see.WIll they damage my crops in tunnel,i have a super crop of toms starting to ripe and was wondering if the wasps will attack and eat them.
What do i do?
hi all,
my carrots are or should I say were thriving up until a few days ago but now I have a problem.They are all beginning to die off on me.At the moment they are approx 6 inches high in good soil surrounded by an anti carrot fly mesh barrier the whole way around them.I have four drills of them and they are beginning to die off in patches.The foliage is a healthy green all over with no rust that then just sags off and dies.It would at first impression appear that it was drought but thats not the case.If it were carrot fly I didnt think it killed the foliage this early (had carrot fly last year hence the mesh barrier)
Any advice please,also if Iwere to unearth all existing carrots and resow them in same place would it be a waste of time if it was the dreaded carrot fly in the soil at this time.
Hawthorn or whitethorn would probably work better alright but I wasnt intending to plant anything else at the time.Maybe I should leave well enough alone .Thanks for all advice folks.
Thanks Salino I will have a look and let you know what happens
Actually Pansyface what I was intending was to plant the trees so that they would be growing up through the hedge as it were,with the laurel covering the bottom 4 to 5 feet of the tree rather than having divisions in the hedge making them look like slabs which I agree with you would not look the part.Do you think this would be possible.
The hedge is both a windbreak and a screen over a wire fence by the way.
I do take your point absolutely Dove but I just feel with a bit of colour around it,it might add to it somehow.If I were to plant a cherry blossom tree for arguments sake, could I remove a couple of laurel plants from the hedge ,say 2 or 3 (to replant elsewhere in the hedge to thicken it up) and plant the tree flush with the hedge,which I would prefer, or should I plant them in front of or behind the hedge
Im no "monty" pansyface but all I can say is that it is very good soil no stones and I grow a nice sized veggie patch in the back garden with all usual veg and no problems.

Municipal Court House
Thursday, April 17th
7:00 pm
A public meeting regarding Trails in Victoria County will be held. The main hope, purpose, of this meeting is to involve the public in hiking trails in the area.
The immediate hope is that this will result in a local hiking trail's group being formed to guide the application for a hiking trail between Little Narrows (turnoff @highway 105) and Seal Island. The long term hope would be that this group will promote and encourage hiking trails throughout Victoria County.

[Review of previous edition: ] Basketball's Greatest Stars is a collection of 5O profiles of some of the greatest players in the game, from Bob Cousy and Bob Pettit to Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Grange divides them in the "Best of the Best" and the "Best of the Rest." given over to players who, despite their great talents, never quite made superstar status -- Dave DeBusschere, Elvin Hayes, Pete Maravich, and John Stockton. And it's loaded with great game images of high-flying, slam-dunking players.--James D. Watts Jr."Tulsa World" (12/19/2010)
Michael Grange is an award-winning writer who is an on-air personality for Sportsnet and a contributor to Sportsnet Magazine.
Basketball is an elite professional sport and players command stratospheric salaries. The spectacular success of the NBA is based on its stars' performances, which excite fans game after game, championship after championship. Basketball's Greatest Stars features detailed profiles of the 50 greatest and most exciting players in basketball history. They're all here: the score-at-will centres, the quick-dishing guards and the take-it-to-the-hoop power forwards. The book also features the players whose star power has gone beyond the court into the culture of celebrity. Action photographs celebrate the play of every superstar past and present, and the 30 franchise profiles chart the league's rise to greatness. Included in this edition are: New stars Carmelo Anthony, Andrew Bynum, DeMarcus Cousins, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Greg Monroe, Rajon Rondo, Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, Deron Williams; and Stars Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Erving, Kareem Abduhl-Jabbar, Rick Barry, Shaquille O'Neal, LeBron James, Dirk Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Karl Malone. The author also examines the sport in three insightful essays, covering the leading men and defining moments that have shaped the sport, the international game and the changing nature and importance of statistical analysis. Basketball's Greatest Stars is a superb book for the fan and a compelling history of a great game.

FreeBSD 6.2, WordPress hangs in browser.
I am having a problem with FreeBSD6.2 and wordpress. I am using the same version of mysql, apache and php as on a freebsd 4.8 box but when I try to access parts of wordpress that redirect (no matter what browser I use) it just kind of hangs forever(says loading but nothing ever loads). The access log shows a single line with a redirect such as:
xx.xx.xx.xx – – [01/Feb/2008:13:22:08 -0500] "GET /wp-admin/plugins.php?action=deactivate&plugin=akismet/akismet.php&_wpnonce=b4338ce3c5 HTTP/1.1" 302 5 "http://www.bgtest.3dadultcomics.net/wp-admin/plugins.php" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; InfoPath.2)"
This suggests to me that the redirect is being sent to the browser but nothing happpens. No looping, no white page, nothing.
As I said it only happens on FreeBSD 6.2. I have the very same site using the same database server on a freebsd 4.8 machine and it works fine. Also if I try it locally on the (6.2) server itself using command line lynx it works as well. It gets to the point in all browsers I've tried after a few attempts, the browser must be completely closed and reopened to even get back to the main blog page.
I cant imagine that this is a browser issue as the same thing happens in firefox, safari, ie6 and ie7, in multiple sites and computers. Go to this page and see for yourself. If you can manage to login try clicking plugins and try activating or deactivating one.
user admin
pass 56e402
Any help anyone can think of would be great.
Things I have tried:
Checked all logs, no errors or signs of looping anywhere(the php process is no longer running as well)
Tried 6 different versions of php ranging from 4.3.9 to 5.1.2
Tried 3 different versions of apache in the 1.3.x branch.
Tried every browser I can think of.
Searched google for possible solutions but because its so difficult to explain and there are so many similar but not related problems I couldnt find anything.
Please let me know if anyone else has ever had this problem. I have a customer I need to move from a FreeBSD 4.8 machine to a FreeBSD 6.2 machine and keeping 4.8 is not an option.
Thank you.

Question about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7 Digital Camera
After about 10 months of superb quality photos, suddenly about 1/4 of my photos are broken files. Either nothing downlaods for the fram, or it will have anywhere from 1 to 4 lines crossing it with various stages of exposure and sometimes from one line to the next the object will be displaced. The lines are mostly horrizontal, but also happen vertical--like your shot took place between two frames.
Do I have something set wrong in my camera settings? Or is my camera in need of repair?
Posted by MsSueMB on
This is NOT a printing problem. The file itself is corrupted.
This is not the memory card...I tried another--same thing. The problem is with the file...you can see it on the camera image before ever downloading to computer.
They are already corrupted ON THE CAMERA.
Can't seem to do soft...and can't get initialize choice by pushing the up and down...no luck.
Ahhh...I have a new wrinkle to add...When the camera was new I took a few photos without my memory card and used the internal memory. They have remained there all this time. Yesterday I downloaded those photos along with my new ones on memory card. Guess what. You guessed it, the old photos were about 25% corrupted just like the new on memory card! So does this mean that the problem is with my software of computer? Or does it mean that the problem is with the camera in the transferring process?
If its within one year you get it service by the company this seems to hardware failure, try to reset the factory mode if this does not work, if within warranty you need to contact the Sony and get it fixed..................................if any manual opening of the camera you lose the warranty ,
To contact support:
Posted on Jun 09, 2008
If the files are corrupted when transfered to computer you need to reinstall the sony software again in your computer and transfer the data..........Try using online driver:
Then you need to contact the company and get it serviced as its in warranty.......
Offhand, I think that what is needed is simply a re-format of the memory or worst case, replace the memory card. I sincerely doubt if it is a hardware problem of the camera which should otherwise be a common fault to all the pictures taken. I understand that "format" is a built-in feature of this model (as in most other digital cameras).
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
Thank you for using FixYa.
Posted on Jun 09, 2008
An alternative is to try using a memory card reader (should you have access to one) to access the picture files and not straight from camera to PC.
Hi again,
Appreciate the postback and additional information.
Try a soft reset, press on the menu button for at least 30 seconds; or re-initialize the camera (set to default) Select [Initialize using the up/down, left/right button then press the circle. The message "Initialize all settings" should appear. Select [OK] with up button, then press again the circle. The settings should be revert back to facotry defaults.

Campus 2009
Guest of the Orchestra Campus 2009 was the orchestra of the Vietnam National Academy of Music Hanoi which was established in 1956 under the Ministry of Culture and Information. Vietnam's largest and finest center of music education has three main sections: education, scholarly research and performance. Its goals are to reserve, strengthen and develop the country's traditional musical heritage while absorbing musical influences worldwide. These activities are to lead to the development of a modern Vietnamese music that identifies with tradition.
In the last ten years, many conservatory students have been selected by the Asian Youth Orchestra, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, the London Royal Academy of Music and the Pacific Music Center to participate in seminars and concert tours worldwide. International professors teach and perform regularly at the conservatory to acquaint teachers and students with international music of high standard.

O'Neill joins the US firm's London corporate practice, bringing the total number of partners at GTM to 15.
The firm's London head Paul Maher said O'Neill's move is part of GTM's strategic focus on building a corporate and M&A practice in the City.
Maher said: "It's important for us to build up in this area. We'll be continuing to look for good corporate lawyers for London. Laura's a good fit for us. Her experience in Africa's also a real asset for us. It has great synergies with our capital markets team."
Maher added that part of the firm's strategy is to focus on Africa as an emerging market, capitalising on the experience of former White & Case partners Tim Jeveons, Andrew Croxford and Andrew Caunt.
