I have tried this using Carrara 8.1 as well as 8.5 and as it has not been an issue before it must be a problem with compatibility with Mountain Lion which I ungraded to recently. The problem is, when you go to open a carrara scene and it can't find a texture it brings up a dialog with the title 'Please locate file: xxxxx' where xxxxx is the name of the file carrara is looking for. However when you try to browse within this window, none of the filenames show up so its impossible to point carrara to a particular file. I have a resources folder with a Poser Runtime within it but clicking on the resources folder from the sidebar wont show any of the files or directories under it.
The funny thing is that when I use the Open dialog from the file menu, I can navigate my disk fine, its only the particular dialog associated with the 'Please locate file:' heading that seems to be the problem.
I'm not sure how to file bug reports so I'm hoping someone from the Carrara development team can take a look at it or point me at a fix.

|Media type
|Magnetic Tape
|1035i or 480i
|Developed by
|Home movies, Home video, Video production
W-VHS is a HDTV analog recording videocassette format created by JVC. The format was originally introduced in 1994 for use with Japan's Hi-Vision, an early analog high-definition television system.
W-VHS was named so because "W" in Japanese sounds like "double" (Daburyū, ダブリュー) [1]
The recording medium of W-VHS is a ½-inch metallic magnetic tape stored in a cartridge the same size as VHS. The tape can be used to store 1035i (HD) or 480i (SD) and a double channel of 480i (for storing 3D programs[2])(SD2) analog signals (but not 480p, 720p or 1080i). The video signal is recorded using a method called "time compression integration" which "records separated component video, luminance and color signals are offset by time in alternating parts of the video track".[3] Because video signals are recorded in component form instead of the color under method used by S-VHS, standard definition image quality for W-VHS is typically much higher, due to the lack of noise caused by a chroma sub-carrier. Audio is stored in the VHS Hi-Fi or S-VHS Digital Audio formats.
W-VHS VCRs were one of the only devices consumers could use to record a standard or high definition video signal via an analog Y/Pb/Pr component interface. Very few devices with this capability exist, possibly due to content copyright restrictions. W-VHS has also been used for medical imaging, professional previewing, and broadcasting.
Currently, it is very difficult to find either W-VHS VCRs or tapes. Since W-VHS tapes are harder to find users have turned to the similar Digital-S (D-9) tape. While D-9 tapes are still not that easy to find, they are more available than W-VHS tapes in certain regions. JVC Professional even recommends the use of them for W-VHS. The running time between W-VHS and Digital-S is not the same; a Digital-S tape with a length of 64 min is approximately 105 min when used with W-VHS.

This morning at around 7am a gritter lorry slid off the road on the A886 and effectively closed the road to all traffic.
By 9am this morning a half-mile stationery tail-back had formed of drivers waiting patiently for recovery to happen and for the black ice to be cleared.
By 9.30 another gritting lorry had battled up the Leanachd to rescue its fellow also trailed by a huge number of vehicles wanting to get through.
Estimates of when the road will be cleared vary between 30 minutes and 3 hours.
The Gritter had taken four hours to get to that stage. The driver commented, 'Who needs coffee when you have black ice all along your route?"
Drivers are advised to keep clear of the area and find alternate routes.
Photos of the incident here.
UPDATE Midday: The road is now open

CFL Preview - Hamilton (1-2) at Saskatchewan (3-0)
From The Sports Network
By Gregg Xenakes, CFL Editor
DATE & TIME: Sunday, July 21, 7:00 p.m. (et).
GAME NOTES: For the only team in the CFL that is undefeated after three weeks of play, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are keeping a close eye on their star quarterback as they prepare to host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Mosaic Stadium on Sunday evening.
Darian Durant left the game against Toronto last Thursday, an eventual 39-28 triumph, after suffering a right foot injury in the fourth quarter, but subsequent MRI results came back negative which means he still could take the field versus Hamilton.
Durant managed to connect on 14-of-19 passes for 245 yards and three touchdowns before giving way to backup Drew Willy. Making the job that much easier for Durant prior to his exit was Taj Smith who reeled in touchdown grabs of 61 and 70 yards, and finished with a game-high 141 yards receiving on just three catches.
Because of the efforts of Smith and other skill players on offense, Durant has completed 72 percent of his pass attempts in 2013, resulting in eight touchdowns and no interceptions. With numbers like those, it should not come as a surprise that Durant is blowing away the competition with his 135.1 efficiency rating.
Helping to spread the field for the Roughriders was Kory Sheets as he carried the ball 26 times for a hefty 178 yards and a pair of majors of his own. With his huge effort against the Argonauts, Sheets is easily the top rusher in the league at the moment with 442 yards and four TDs on 69 totes.
For his efforts last week, Sheets was named the CFL Offensive Player of the Week.
In addition to Sheets being rewarded for his strong play, so was teammate Renauld Williams who tallied eight tackles, including a pair of sacks, and a pass defended while picking up CFL Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Through three games, Williams leads the Riders in total tackles with 14 and has recorded three sacks. Despite the three quarterback takedowns by Williams, Saskatchewan is still third in the league in total sacks with 10.
While the Riders are crossing their fingers when it comes to the availability of Durant, Hamilton doesn't have the luxury of even considering a change at quarterback at the moment, even though Henry Burris took a beating during the team's 25-20 victory over Winnipeg at home last week. Burris, who was sacked seven times, still managed to complete all but six of his 32 pass attempts, leading to 362 yards and two touchdowns.
Burris, who also led the squad in rushing with 47 yards on six attempts, took entirely too many hits from the Blue Bombers defense and that is something that needs to change in a hurry if the Ticats hope to have him lining up for the long haul this season.
One of only two QBs in the league to have thrown for more than 701 yards Burris, who leads the CFL with 957 yards, has six TDs and two picks on 105 attempts. Now in his 14th season, Burris is coming off his best campaign in terms of touchdown passes and yards, having thrown a total of 43 scores and 5,367 yards a year ago, which is why his strong start to 2013 shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
As well as Burris has been playing, it is the running attack that needs to be ramped up for the Ticats to experience any true measure of success. Hamilton is one of three teams with just a single rushing score. The defense could also stand to be more aggressive as well, considering the group has forced a league-low two turnovers and is tied for the second-worst turnover margin at minus-two.
Saskatchewan is by far the best in the league in terms of turnover margin with a plus-six. The bulk of that can be credited to Durant who has been virtually flawless in his offensive approach.
In recent news off the field, the Ticats announced the naming of their future home beginning in 2014 as Tim Hortons Field. Named after the restaurant chain which was established almost 50 years ago, the new venue will also play host to international soccer events, major outdoor concerts and future Grey Cups.
Hamilton slipped by the Riders in the most recent regular-season tussle on July 28, 2012 by a score of 35-34 in Regina, snapping what had been a two-game win streak for Saskatchewan. The Riders have won 15 of the last 18 regular- season matchups and currently maintain a 40-38-4 edge in regular-season dates going back to 1961.
The squads are slated to meet up again in just six days in Hamilton to complete the season series.
At some point the opposition will catch up to Durant and the Saskatchewan offense, but until that time comes the Roughriders will be the favorite, especially when they are playing in the comforts of home.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Saskatchewan 34, Hamilton 23

Posts Tagged 'library'
Today, I have a super cute guest post/ tutorial to share from Caitlin of the blog Packagery. Caitlin also runs an adorable packaging supply shop by the same name; and she created this fun diy with just a handful of materials. Its a mini library card notepad tutorial. These notebooks are perfect for jotting down short little notes or lists. And is a great way to recycle some of those paper scraps you may have lying around. So, let's get to it. Here's Caitlin's project…
Materials: 1. a stapler (make sure it has staples) 2. scrap paper (graph paper, handwriting paper, etc.) 3. cardstock (library cards, index cards, old postcards, etc.) 4. paper trimmer (or scissors, x-acto knife, etc.) 5. bone folder (or a spoon) optional extras: 6. embellishments such as stamps, stickers, labels 7. corner rounder
Step by Step Instructions: 1. Trim your paper the same size as your card. I used a 3″ x 5″ card, with 6 sheets of scrap paper cut down to 3″ x 5″. This will give you 12 sheets/24 pages per notebook. You can also tear your paper down to size, for a different look. To do this, lay a ruler on top of your sheets and tear along the edge of the ruler.
2. Fold paper in half and crease with a bone folder. Do the same to your card. Place the folded paper inside the folded card, and crease again.
3. Make sure everything is lined up and folded nicely. Then carefully unfold your notebook and staple once or twice along the outside folded edge.
4. Done! You can round the corners of your notebook for a neater look, or add some cute stamped images.
*If you're looking for library cards, you can find them for sale in my shop here.
Tips: To make your notebooks flatter, stick them under a pile of heavy books for a day or two. Where the heck do you get a corner rounder? I got mine here from amazon. It's a Zutter Round-It-All and it's a pretty neat tool. You can't trim a ton of paper at once like you can with a (very expensive) commercial rounder, but it handles these notebooks just fine.
Thanks so much Caitlin for sharing this tutorial with us! For more inspiration, visit the Packagery blog and Caitlin's packaging supply shop.

Here's an idea for wrapping your gifts this year. Its super inexpensive. In fact, I used materials that I already had around the house- so it literally cost me nothing. I just used a brown craft box, a vintage library card with envelope and some string. I wrote a note on the library card, stuck it into the envelope and attached it to the front of the box. Then I wrapped the box with string several times and tied it in to a bow.
Don't have these supplies? Don't worry you can still get this look for free! Here's how… Use a brown paper bag from the grocery store. Cut it so its flat and cover a box you already have. Then use these free downloadable library cards from Creature Comforts. And finally, use any kind of string you have available to finish the look (this could be yarn, twine, even dental floss, whatever you have lying around).
And if you want to add some extra flare, just create a paper holiday ornament on your computer. Print it out and cut to shape. Then attach underneath the string.
My dad was a librarian in Michigan in the '80s, very near the Herman Miller worldwide headquarters. So I grew up around mass-manufactured steel office supplies, molded plastic chairs, books, and the things associated with books: tote bags, Kik Step stools, bookends, bookmarks. Though I came close, I never became a librarian. But several of my friends are currently in library school. So if the career is coming back, why not bring back the style, too?
Two of my dad's pet peeves: people who thought librarians said, "Shhh," and people who pronounced it, "li-bary." What a radical!
I love vintage library furniture. It acts as an industrial-strength junk drawer, or a no-nonesense place to get work done. Who couldn't get work done on this desk?
And don't forget the hardware — a handy date stamp and some date due cards and pockets.

On Blast! comedy series throws battle of the sexes at House of Rock
CORPUS CHRISTI - The "On Blast!" comedy series presents its first comedic Battle of the Sexes next week.
Hosted once a month at House of Rock, the series will continue its live comedic battles starting at 9 p.m. Thursday.
"On Blast," which showcases an array of local and regional comics, welcomes returning patrons and first-time comedy show goers for $5. Prepare for the night's epic comedic battle with House of Rock's Thursday night specials including $2.50 Dos Equis and keep in mind that 'On Blast!' is an 18 and older event only.
Organized as an onstage competition, "On Blast!" presents two groups of three comedians who go head-to-head with their best routines.
Performing on the ladies' team is local funnygal Ellen Buschang, Donna Dean, and gender-bending Divina Cifuentes.The guys' team is Rocky Ramone, House of Rock regular Bert Garcia, and Raymond Gutierrez.
The series, organized by local comedian Javier Luna, celebrates its first event of the new year with Thursday's competition.
"Our first 'On Blast!' show was in May of 2012 and we try to keep the event going once a month," Luna said. "The original concept was to do a comedy showcase but we wanted to put a twist on it, which is where the competition comes in. During the final round of the competition, we let both teams aim their jokes at each other and the improv can get pretty humiliating."
Luna, who has been active in Corpus Christi's comedy scene since April 2011, has seen the rapid growth of local comedy culture.
"I started my comedy open mic because I was frustrated with fighting for stage time at music open mics but with the support of John Roman and Nino B (of Comics Live Comedy Club) it saw some success in audience and new comics,"Luna said. "Now the scene has around 20 active local comedians and this current group has collectively taken responsibility for the scene."
Having the comedy series at House of Rock seemed like the perfect venue."'On Blast!' is a fast-paced show which lends itself well to the atmosphere of House of Rock and we'll be here as long as they'll have us," Luna said. "The comedy scene here is developing nicely and it's really turning into a local and regional comedy showcase, which is something to be really proud of. And as long as the comedians are having fun, the audience is sure to have a good time."

1.19.12 MEN'S BASKETBALL: Cavs Rally From 19 Down at Malone to Keep Cup
Men's Basketball, 2012-01-19
Walsh (16-3) rallied from a 19-point first half deficit to defeat Malone University (8-10) 99-94 before 1,030 fans at a packed Osborne Hall in the 48th Annual Mayors' Cup Game. The win was the fifth straight for the Cavs in the Cup Series, where they hold a 29-19 advantage. The Cavs lead the all-time series 65-40 and have won 25 of the last 28 meetings. The win was also the fourth straight for the Cavs. Walsh is home on Saturday against Cedarville University at 4 pm. The game will be broadcast live on NewsTalk 640 AM WHLO.
Malone led 3-2 when they scored the next 18 points to take a 21-2 lead with 13:47 left in the half. The Pioneers connected on four of six three-pointers in building the lead.
Walsh would climb out of the hole behind the shooting of Ron Kinney (6-7, Sr., Cleveland, OH/Rhodes) and finally cut the lead to single digits at 36-28 with 6:14 to play in the half. Malone pushed the lead back to 15 points (48-33), before the Cavs scored six points to close the half on back-to-back three's from Kinney and Ryan Vanderhorst (6-3, So., New Knoxville, OH/HS). Kinney finished the first half with 16 points on 4-5 from three point. Rian Burrell (6-3, Fr., Zanesville, OH/HS) added nine first half points. Walsh was 6-10 from behind the arc in the first half, while Malone was 9-19. Cory Veldhuizen scored 14 first half points for Malone.
Walsh came out of the gate quickly in the second half with a dunk from Kinney on an alley-oop from Brad DuPont (6-0, So., Massillon, OH/Jackson/Wheeling Jesuit), a three from Kinney and a dunk and lay-up from L. J. Sutton (6-7, Sr., Youngstown, OH/Cardinal Mooney) to tie the game at 50 at the 17:37 mark.
The second half would feature five ties and seven lead changes. Walsh took their first lead at 55-54 on a Cameron Mitchell (6-4, So., Cincinnati, OH/Taft) three at 16:49.
Malone built a 75-71 lead with 8:19 when the Cavs went to work. Walsh regained the lead on a Jeff Copeland (6-5, Fr., Toledo, OH/St. John's Jesuit) and DuPont three at 76-75 with 7:43 left. Malone's Che Richardson then hit a jumper to give Malone their final lead at 77-76 at the 7:07 mark.
Walsh tied the game at 77 on a Sutton free throw at 5:04, and then took the lead for good at 80-77 on a Vanderhorst three.
Walsh led 85-81 at the 2:26 mark Richardson hit his season-high fourth three to cut the Walsh lead to 85-84. It would be as close as Malone would come the rest of the way.
Despite DuPont and Sutton fouling out, Walsh outscored Malone 14-10 the rest of the way, with Burrell hitting four free throws and scoring on a layup.
Walsh finished the night 16-22 from three-point, including 10-12 in the second half. The Cavs outscored Malone 58-46 in the second half and shot 62% from the floor in the half and 53% (32-60) for the night.
Ron Kinney led all scorers with a career high 29 points. Kinney was 9-14 from the field, 7-8 from three-point and 4-4 from the line. Burrell added 19 points and was 7-7 from the line. Sutton scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds before fouling out. Vanderhorst had 12 points and DuPont 13 points, six rebounds and seven assists.

OCH Regional Medical Center will hold a retirement reception for Arthur C. "Sonny" Kelly.
Wednesday from 4:30-6 p.m. at the OCH Regional Medical Center Educational Facility. Kelly's last day at the medical center is Wednesday, after 38 years of service.
Kelly is father to son Davis Kelly, who is married to Shelly Kelly and they have three kids: Douglas, and twin girls Madeline and Jillian. Kelly's daughter Ann Marie Neave is married to Stuart Neave, and they have two children, Zoe and Eilidh. Sonny and Gail Kelly's son, Zak, is a 5th grader.
Kelly said after 38 years at OCH Regional Medical Center, he feels the most rewarding part of his career has been a constant reaffirmation of his belief that some of the finest people in the world are those that devote their lives and talents to the healing arts.
"In our community, those people consist of citizens that serve on the Board of Trustees, physicians on the medical staff and the professional and nonprofessional employees of the hospital employee staff," Kelly said. "Most people never think about the hospital until it is needed in times of illness and medical emergency, then it becomes the most important part of the community to them."
Kelly said his proudest accomplishment from his tenure has been the simple fact that the hospital has been able to grow and change with the community, as the local community and those in other areas using the hospital have grown.
"We have been able to provide some of the best physicians, facilities and equipment available anywhere," Kelly said. "I do not see this as an individual accomplishment but rather an opportunity to be a part of a great combined effort of many individuals."
Although Kelly looks over his career fondly, he said is definitely looking forward to having more time with his family in retirement and seeing what the next chapter of his life will bring him.
"I have five grand children, three in Starkville and two in Scotland, and a son age 10 still at home," Kelly said. "I look forward to seeing them develop into the potential they all have. I also plan to travel and see some of the other states that I haven't visited and maybe, if good health and opportunity allows it, to start up another late life career."
Kelly said he'd like to thank all of his family and friends for helping him keep a sane mind in what has been a high pressure career.
"I want to acknowledge all those I have worked with over the years, board members, physicians and employees of the medical center past and present, the two other administrators of the medical center who straightened me out occasionally and provided wonderful personal and professional support, the people of our community who have steadfastly supported their medical center and the many professional affiliations I have had with others over the years," Kelly said.
OCH Regional Medical Center Assistant Administrator and Chief Operating Officer Mike Andrews said he has worked with Kelly for 26 years and has throughly enjoyed every minute.
"He is the best boss anyone could have," Andrews said. "He cares so much about his employees — many of us will never be able to repay him for all that he has taught us and done for us through the years."
Andrews said Kelly's commitment to OCH Regional Medical Center and the Starkville and MSU community is profound.
"He has played an active role in the area's economic development efforts," Andrews said. "His continual efforts to improve, upgrade and/or expand hospital facilities, services, equipment and staffing, and his work to recruit the very best physicians has ensured that our hospital remains competitive with other area facilities. He is without a doubt responsible for OCH's growth and success."
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Mississippi Hospital Association Sam Cameron said Kelly has contributed tremendously to the state with his involvement in organizations outside of OCH Regional Medical Center.
"He is well respected by his peers and can always be counted on to give wise counsel on issues of great complexity," Cameron said. "I appreciate his involvement in all aspects of the association. On a lighter side, I look back with fondness on several 'road trips' that he, Dale Saulters, myself and others took over the years. Those will always hold a special meaning to me for the close bond that was developed, and I look forward to many more years of our continued friendship."
Former Winston Medical Center Administrator Dale Saulters said Kelly is one of a dying breed.
A hospital administrator with 38 years at the same facility is unheard of this day and time," Saulters said. "He put OCH on the map and has been totally dedicated to the local community and to making sure that hospital and the services it provides are top-notch. I enjoyed working with him over the years, and I'm fortunate to call him my friend."
Richard Hilton, who becomes the new OCH Regional Medical Center administrator and CEO on March 1 said Kelly recruited him in March 1983 to begin working as the associate administrator.
"It was during this recruitment process that I saw something in Sonny Kelly that set him apart from other hospital administrators," Hilton said. "Sonny was very zealous in promoting OCH and the Starkville community, and he had a clear vision of what he wanted to see happen in the years to come. OCH was starting the 1983 South Wing construction/expansion project at that time, and now, six major capital projects later, under Sonny's leadership, the Starkville area now has access to medical facility comparable –– if not nicer than –– many in cities such as Jackson, Birmingham, Ala. and Memphis, Tenn."
Hilton said Kelly's continuing inspiration for the hospital, the developing medical staff and the overall community has taken OCH Regional Medical Center where it is today.
"My hat goes off to a very dynamic individual with a proven track record for making quality health care readily available through OCH," Hilton said. "Given the wealth of his background, health care knowledge and expertise, in my mind, he is irreplaceable. I commend him for a job well done and wish him well in his retirement."
Chief Nursing Officer Dr. Martha Fulcher, RNC, BSN, said she was not sure she could adequately put her thoughts and feelings of respect and admiration into words.
"I'm not sure where to start," Fulcher said. "Sonny Kelly has had a tremendous influence on my professional life and career. I still remember how very impressed I was when I met him as a new nurse on the hospital's third floor 33 years ago. It was about 8 p.m., and he was walking the floors making rounds. He stopped to introduce himself, and when I introduced myself, he immediately knew who I was, specifically acknowledging the fact that I chose to drive all the way from Nanih Wayih to work everyday. That meant so much to me and really inspired and motivated me."
Fulcher said Kelly has always been very supportive of the hospital's nursing services.
"In my many years as a unit manager, as well as the last eight years as chief nursing officer, I have experienced his commitment first hand," Fulcher said. "Whether related to training or equipment or process, he has always been willing to listen to our requests and whenever possible, provide the resources needed for the benefit of our staff and our patients. He has also been a regular part of our annual Nurses' Day celebrations and festivities –– even dressing up and playing the role of a cowboy, army general, or whatever was needed to carry out our theme."
Former Oktibbeha County Sheriff Dolph Bryan said he's known Kelly for over 35 years and considers him a fine man who is ready to help in any situation.
"Sonny is very community-minded and is willing to do whatever is needed to help our community," Bryan said. "He has also always wanted to give back to our community, and with this in mind, he came to see me, and I put him to work as an auxiliary deputy sheriff. He has served Oktibbeha County well in this capacity for over 20 years. I am proud to call Sonny Kelly a very good friend and a dependable member of my staff. The citizens of this county and the surrounding counties are very fortunate to have had him as the administrator at OCH for the past 38 years."
President of Sullivan's Office Supply and 2012 Greater Starkville Development Partnership Board Chairman Steve Langston said Kelly has guided the OCH Regional Medical Center from infancy to the state-of-the-art facility it is today.
"The hospital and the medical community are a vital part of our economic success in Oktibbeha County," Langston. "They comprise our county's second largest employer and do so much for our quality of life which attracts people to our area. Sonny has always been active in the GSDP and all areas of community development. He fully understands the important fact that success in each and every aspect of the community helps the entire community."
Dr. Chester Lott of Starkville said Kelly offered him his first job in health care as an EMT at the hospital.
"He was instrumental in my decision to go to medical school and provided continual encouragement while I was there," Lott said. "It was wonderful to return to Starkville and OCH to practice, where he was still at the helm, actively pursuing his vision of developing first class facilities, offering the latest technology and recruiting a well-trained workforce along with a diverse staff of physician specialists."
Lott said when one looks around Mississippi, one sees that very few county-owned hospitals have survived.
"Thanks to Mr. Kelly's tireless efforts, OCH has not only survived, but thrived," Lott said. "His commitment to the local community and dedication to providing quality health care are evident in the hospital facility and medical community we have today."

Dr Oz: Tips to Lose Weight Fast
Three of the most dreaded letters in the English language are F-A-T because they makes us feel discouraged and angry and we wish it would instantly disappear. Today Dr. Oz comes to the rescue with his tips to flush fat fast and help you get the body you have always wanted!
Dr Oz: Litramine Weight Loss Review
Dr. Oz says even if you have been holding onto the same fat for several years there is still a way to flush it fast and he has the solutions to help you do it. The first is a groundbreaking new ingredient called Litramine that literally helps you poop out fat faster than ever before and the best part is you will be shedding pounds in no time.
Litramine helps you lose weight by attaching to your fat and taking it out of your body. A recent study of 123 people who took Litramine for 12 weeks showed them to lose an average of 5 pounds, or roughly ½ a pound per week. Dr. Oz says he likes Litramine because it is a fat binder that does not change your brain chemistry or boost metabolism, which makes it a very safe product to use for weight loss.
- Look for 100% Litramine
- Available in drugstores and online
- Take 3 grams per day, 1 gram after each meal.
Dr Oz: Green Tea with Garlic Weight Loss Drink
The next tip Dr. Oz has to help you flush fat fast is to recharge your pancreas, which is an important fat-flushing organ. The best way to accomplish this is by drinking Garlic Green Tea, which Dr. Oz says tastes more like a broth than a tea. Garlic helps to regulate blood sugar and green tea helps flush out fat, so the two together make a winning weight loss combination.
- Steep Green Tea bag with a clove of garlic for about 20 minutes.
- Drink one cup per day
Dr Oz: Vitamin C-Rich Foods
Dr. Oz says researchers have recently discovered that obese people are low in Vitamin C, which can cause some people to be more resistant to burning fat. Dr. Oz says increasing your intake of this simple vitamin could be the secret to flushing more fat and shedding unwanted pounds.
- Get just 75 MG of Vitamin C per day to help melt fat stores.
- Good food sources include broccoli, strawberries, papaya, kiwi, lemons, oranges and grapefruit.
Dr Oz: White Vinegar Fat Flusher
Dr. Oz says the final way to flush fat fast is to drink 2 tablespoons of white vinegar after every meal, which he believes could be the most important tip of the day. While it is very easy to add vinegar to your diet every day, Dr. Oz prefers you consciously start making it a part of your daily routine. White vinegar helps to reduce blood sugar spikes that are caused when you eat sugary foods or refined carbs, which means it can literally prevent your body from holding onto fat.

There is a handfull of us, sitting in a circle, all looking tired, stressed, itching to do something to break the unbearable tension.
Finally, one of us is brave enough to stand up and say...
"My name is _______"
Everyone replies "Hi _______"
The man continues "and I'm still running the stock Orange firmware"
applause erupts! And the room goes wild.
Ahem, anyway. All this talk about the xolo ICS update is making me uneasy. I want to keep my warranty, I want to behave and stay on stock firmware, but not even a month into owning my shiny new phone, and I've just downloaded (but not applied) the xolo firmware update.
Give me some support guys. Tell me why I shouldn't update here and now.
Why are you staying with stock? Or are you struggling, just like me? Is the call of nearly bloat-free ICS just too much? Let's get a support group going!

by one of its subscribers.
I have a client looking for a remote Linux Developer with the following
They need someone capable of doing Linux driver development and modification
on an embedded system, preferably with experience with the LPC3250 ARM based
processor. The tasks involve modification of the preliminary boot software,
modification of the touch screen driver, and implementation of a USB WiFi
dongle into the Linux kernel.
It is imperative that we find someone who is well versed in what they need
and won't have a very big learning curve. They own a company that makes GPS
units for golf carts. They are based in Hilton Head, SC. This would be a
contract position and is remote. It would be an on-going position as needed
but getting it up and running is the most important thing right now. The
position pays $50/hour and is 100% remote. No on-site work needed at all.
If you have the skills mentioned above, please submit your resume to

The community near the site of Chotuna is one in need, living without electricity, a sewer system, or even clean water. Part of the community's rich cultural heritage includes a group of local artisans who specialize in weaving native cotton textiles, a tradition passed on from civilizations long past. Despite their poverty, the community longs to help protect their precious cultural heritage site.
The archaeological site of Chotuna, Peru, is a stunning 235-acre monumental temple complex where several royal tombs have been discovered, one of which contained the skeletons of 33 women (see feature by National Geographic here), and one, just discovered earlier this year, which contained four corpses that was likely built by an ancient water cult and meant to be flooded (see National Geographic article here). Without sustainable preservation, this site will cease to exist as a resource that inspires and teaches future generations.
Our project partners with Chotuna's head of excavations, Carlos Wester La Torre, and invests in the local cotton textile artisans, constructing a facility for artisan training and production as well as a small picnic and sales area for their work near the archaeological site. The project will also build a store and showroom for these handicrafts in the nearby city of Lambayeque, as well as promotional materials for the site.
By creating jobs and generating sustainable income for the impoverished communities living around the site, our project gives the local community an economic incentive to preserve its cultural heritage.
We will soon be launching crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for our project at indiegogo.com! Due to the generosity of one of our donors, any donation you make will be matched, doubling your contribution to the project. Please help us save the site of Chotuna-Chornancap and empower a local community at the same time: Donate to our project!
Stay tuned for results from our crowdfunding campaign and, once underway, the project itself!

Want to go back to Tiger, but can't
View Single Post

I have a 8 core Mac Pro that I'm having a problem re-installing Tiger on.
Here is what I have tried so far to go back to Tiger after erase and install of Leopard:
1) Removed all connected peripherals (except KVM)
2) Removed all RAM except original 1GB
3) formated HD with GUID option
4) tried booting from original disks, didn't get any kind of screen
5) tried booting with Tiger install disks from a purchased copy of 5 user licence, this one at least made it to the point where it said it couldn't be installed on this machine. (are there specific PPC and Intel family packs?)
6) performed PRAM reset
7) SMC reset
I have tried installing using different HD's with GUID and non-GUID formats.
In the end I re-installed Leopard, which worked, but I'm having to many issues with Leopard to use it right now and just want to go back to Tiger until Leopard gets more stable.
I also have a MacBook that I installed Leopard on (erase and install) and was able to restore it back to Tiger with the original disks.
Is there something Leopard does to the bios or something that prevents it from loading a previous version of OSX?
I just don't understand why I cannot boot with the original disks. I think I remember reading something somewhere about the 8 core having different install disks than any other Mac, don't know if there is any truth to that or not, but I have tried everything I can find on all the forums and all the advice that the guys at the local Apple store have suggested (even they are stumped as to why it won't boot from the original install).
Any comments or even guesses will be appreciated at this point.

ok so who am I going to try to outbid on the Solo Stormtrooper?
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
My guess is that he probably thought he typed '4' for '124' but hit either the '5', '7', or '8' key by mistake to actually bid 125, 127, or 128, to have placed the 124.50 bid. In any case, all good prices for Yakkie.
Tokyo Hunter had a post of this the other day. You can order with him until the 25th of July, but I don't know what his fee will be.
He's charging 4000 yen per piece not including shipping

NBA Game Summary - Brooklyn at Washington
(Friday, February 8th)
Final Score: Washington 89, Brooklyn 74
Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Nene poured in 20 points and pulled down 11 rebounds to lead the Washington Wizards to an 89-74 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.
Nene had half of his points during a dominant second quarter, when the Wizards held a 30-11 scoring advantage. John Wall added 15 points and nine assists and Martell Webster dropped in 16 points for the Wizards, who have won three straight games for just the second time all season.
"We are finally trusting each other and playing hard. We are really going strong on the defensive end and moving the ball to make big time shots," Wall said.
Deron Williams scored 20 points, Joe Johnson scored 14 and Brook Lopez added 13, but the trio finished just 16-for-43 from the field.
The Nets fell to a team with a record below .500 for just the second time this season.
The Nets kept it close over the first 12 minutes, trailing by no more than four in the period, and went into the second frame down 21-20.
Washington, though, opened the second on a 16-1 run to take a 37-21 lead. Webster's trey at the 2:50 mark pushed the spread over 20 at 45-24, and the Wizards took a 51-31 lead into the break. The Nets shot 4-of-22 from the field in the second quarter.
"We just didn't have that continuity, we weren't on the same page," Johnson said of the second quarter. "They made a run and we couldn't bounce back from it for whatever reason."
Brooklyn made up ground in the third, outscoring Washington 22-14 in the quarter, to go into the final stage trailing 66-53. The Nets scored 11 points off of six Wizards' turnovers and held Washington to just 33.3 percent (6- for-18) shooting from the floor in the period.
The Nets managed to cut the deficit to 11, 69-58, early in the fourth, but Webster buried a trey to ignite a 20-13 swing.
Game Notes
Washington has won eight of its last nine games at Verizon Center ... The Nets are 18-2 against teams below .500 ... Brooklyn fell to 15-7 under interim head coach P.J. Carlesimo ... The Nets struggled shooting all night, going 25-for-76 (32.9 percent) from the field, 5-for-18 (27.8 percent) from 3-point range. They were a dismal 19-for-32 (59.4 percent) from the free throw line.

Blu-ray Sales: Mad Money for Madagascar
November 5th, 2012
Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted was one of seven new releases to reach the top 20 on this week's Blu-ray sales chart. It took first place with 768,000 units / $15.36 million for an opening week Blu-ray share of 45%. This is good for a digitally animated kids movie. In fact, this wouldn't be bad if it were an action film. Prometheus slipped to second place with 251,000 units / $5.20 million over the week for a total of 940,000 units / $18.97 million after two. That's not bad, but not great either. Thanks to its 3D debut, Avatar returned to the chart in third place with 162,000 units / $4.06 million over the week for totals of 6.19 million units / $136.37 million. It was a milestone week for The Avengers. Over the week the film sold 146,000 units and generated $3.59 million. This pushed its running tallies to 4.05 million units / $85.49 million. Cinderella fell to fifth place with 133,000 units / $3.32 million for the week giving it totals of 1.21 million units and $28.62 million after three weeks of release. This is an excellent run for a catalogue title. Then again, films from the Disney vault are not your typical catalogue release.
Moonrise Kingdom just missed the top five with 83,000 units / $1.65 million during its first week of release. Its Blu-ray share for the week was 44%, which is outstanding for a limited release dramedy. On the other hand, That's My Boy was not good earning eighth place with just 45,000 units / $892,000. Its opening week Blu-ray share was just 28%, which is weak, even for a comedy. Chernobyl Diaries was just behind with 40,000 units / $892,000 for an opening week Blu-ray share of just under 30%. That's not a good start. Mad Men: Season Five just missed the top ten with 31,000 units / $945,000 for the week. TV on DVD releases rarely have strong Blu-ray shares, so 25% is better than expected. The final new release to chart was Pete's Dragon, which landed in 15th place with 20,000 units / $389,000. This is inline with most catalogue releases.
The overall Blu-ray market was again mixed. Despite having a family film as the number one Blu-ray for the week, the total market was higher than last week, albeit by single-digit margins. There were 9% more units sold and 8% more revenue generated. Compared to last year, Blu-ray sales were 3% lower in terms of units and 22% lower in terms of revenue. However, as I mentioned last week, this week last year, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was released on Blu-ray Combo Pack release only, so that complicates the comparison. On the other hand, DVD sales were well up compared to last week with increases of 45% in terms of units and 49% in terms of revenue. Compared to last year, 58% more units were sold while total revenue was 64% higher. The overall Blu-ray share slipped to 38% in terms of units and 42% in terms of revenue. This is lower than it has been recently, but hopefully this is just a temporary blip.
Next week's new releases are led by Magic Mike and Tinker Bell: Secret of the Wings. I don't think either will be huge sellers on Blu-ray. On the other hand, last year's new releases were led by Captain America, which sold 701,000 DVDs and 756,000 Blu-rays. I don't see that figure being matched this year, so we will likely see another week of declines on the year-over-year comparison.
