The mother of a Chantilly man on Virginia's death row spoke out against the death penalty this week in Reston, relating the hardships her family faces as it tries to get him acquitted.
Terri Steinberg's son, Justin M. Wolfe, 31, has been on death row for 10 years.
In July 2011, Judge Raymond A. Jackson of the U.S. District Court in Norfolk vacated Wolfe's murder conviction and death sentence on grounds he was denied constitutional rights.
"But the state appealed that ruling and Justin still sits on Death Row," Steinberg told an audience Monday at St. John Neumann Catholic Church.
Steinberg was one of three speakers who called for the abolishment of the death penalty in Virginia, as part a forum sponsored by the group Virginians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty.
A 1999 graduate of Chantilly High School, Wolfe was convicted in 2002 of ordering the 2001 killing of Daniel Robert Petrole Jr., a community college student and Centreville High School graduate.
The slaying exposed a massive drug ring that supplied a large segment of Northern Virginia with a high-grade marijuana.
Petrole sat atop the regional ring, supplying Wolfe and others with multiple pounds of marijuana on a regular basis, according to testimony at Wolfe's 2002 trial.
A Prince William County jury convicted Wolfe primarily on the words of another former Chantilly student, Owen Merton Barber IV.
According to court documents and testimony, Barber gunned down Petrole after stalking him for more than an hour. As Petrole parked his car in front of his newly-purchased townhouse in the Braemar community of Bristow in Prince William County, Barber walked up to the passenger side of Petrole's car and fired his weapon into the victim. Barber pleaded guilty and received a life sentence instead of the death penalty for testifying against Wolfe.
According to court records, police found nearly 50 pounds of marijuana, more than $130,000 in cash, a large quantity of Ecstasy pills, several weapons and body armor in Petrole's house. They also found a list of people who owed Petrole money, including Wolfe.
Wolfe maintained his innocence in Petrole's killing, although he also was convicted of several drug and weapons charges. He briefly fled the area after Petrole's death, and later claimed he was scared of receiving drug charges as police investigated the killing. He then turned himself in to police, hoping to persuade prosecutors he had nothing to do with the killing.
"He said to me, 'Mom, they think I had something to do with Danny's death,'" said Steinberg. "He said to me, 'I have to clear my name.'"
In court, Barber admitted killing Petrole, but in December 2005 in a 13-page affidavit he recanted his claim that Wolfe ordered or had any part in the killing.
In that 2005 affidavit, Barber stated: "Justin [Wolfe] had nothing to do with the killing of Daniel Petrole. There was no agreement between Justin and me to kill Danny Petrole. I did not have any discussion, at any time, with Justin about killing Danny Petrole. I lied and implicated Justin because I felt I had no choice."
Barber detailed in the affidavit alleged pressure put on him by Prince William County prosecutors — led by Commonwealth's Attorney Paul Ebert — and his own defense attorney, to testify against Wolfe or face a possible death sentence. Ebert did not return phone calls left for him.
In 2010, an order from the U.S. Eastern District Court of Virginia for a new evidentiary hearing cleared the way for material not originally presented in court, including evidence the defense thought was withheld that could have benefitted Wolfe, such as recordings of interviews with witnesses, as well as Barber's affidavit.
This order led to the 2011 overturning of Wolfe's conviction, which the state appealed. A decision stemming from that hearing is pending.
On Monday, Steinberg related how her son's original death row conviction affected her family.
"It was an incredible sadness that we faced every day," she said. "Neighbors seemed to keep their distance and treated us as though we had something contagious. My 4-year-old daughter didn't understand of course, and would write letters to Santa Claus every year asking him to bring her brother home. We explained it all to her when she turned 11."
Steinberg said for 10 years her son has been kept in solitary confinement 24 hours per day in a 6-by 8-foot cell that contained only a bed, a toilet and a sink.
"I worry about how that environment has affected him," she said. "I worry even more that in the last 10 years he has seen 18 men — the very men who befriended him and taught him how to survive on death row — go to their deaths. When Justin first got to his Death Row cell, he was given only a thin mattress and a rough blanket. The other men on death row, these so-called 'monsters' gave Justin their own magazines and other items, so that he could have something that was his own. I have looked into the eyes of these so-called monsters and I have seen compassion, not people who committed horrible crimes. That is one of the reasons I oppose the death penalty."
According to Steinberg, one of the men who befriended her son and was later executed was John Allen Muhammad, the Beltway sniper responsible for a Washington, D.C.-area shooting spree that resulted in 10 deaths.
"Even this man who was the poster-child for why the death penalty exists, later showed compassion and often shared his vegetables with Justin, who he liked," Steinberg said." Before he was executed, Muhammad wrote me a letter that said 'If I get any relief in my case, I will ask that your son go home first.'"
For now, Steinberg said her son's coming home is contingent on a decision by appeals court Judge Robert King.
"Now we will just wait for a decision," she said. "We were told it could be anytime between now and September. …One way or another Justin will go home, but right now I don't know if it will be to me — or to the Almighty Father in Heaven."

Sixth-grader Angelo El Gamal, 12, pushes his half-eaten lunch to the center of the table and leans over his knitting. Like about 20 other sixth-graders in the Knitting Club at Camelot Elementary School in Annandale, Gamal uses part of his 30-minute lunch break to work on a scarf project.
Intent on perfection, Gamal explains that he is knitting two scarves — one for him, and one to give.
"It's a little bit sad, but only a little, that you're giving your knitting away," he explains. "But it will be worth it."
Students have already completed 18 scarves, which they plan to donate around mid-December to families using the Katherine K. Hanley Family Shelter in Fairfax. The shelter is currently serving 25 families — 32 adults and 39 children.
"What they're doing is amazing. We're so appreciative of what they are doing," shelter Community Coordinator Nurjan Ahmedova said. "It's going to help out so many kids and adults. And it's amazing to see this sort of [giving spirit] in kids."
Ahmedova said the need for winter gear grows as the season turns colder. The shelter needs coats, gloves, hats, scarves and more.
"Some people are less fortunate. They can't really afford anything and you see all these things you have," fellow sixth-grader Bernette Butler, 11, said. "It's nice to give back."
This is the overwhelming sentiment of 46 students who are in Camelot Elementary School's Knitting Club. Although they don't know who will receive their scarves, many students said they hope it goes to children like them.
"I started my scarf two weeks ago," said Fareeha Aslam, 12. "When you start knitting it's kind of addictive. It's fun because you see the yarn and then it turns into a scarf."
The school's knitting club kicked off last year after a field trip, said teacher and club sponsor Mary-Carol "MC" Sheard-Trock, who said she was knitting on the bus and students were interested in picking up the skill.
"It's gotten really big this year," she said. "Last year we had about 20 [students]. They just like knitting."
Knitting Club meetings are held twice a week during lunch time in Sheard-Trock's classroom.
"We almost always have someone in here knitting," said fellow club sponsor Fran Hitch, who is a teaching assistant in the school.
"It's fun and it's a good way to take out your stress," Andrew Thomas, 12, said, adding that he gets stressed about homework (if any teachers are reading).
Sixth-grader Julie Martinez, 11, said, "I like how when you finish it you can wear what you've done."
Martinez said she will feel good knowing something she made during knitting club is being used by someone who needs it.

Where can mold be found in homes?
Although shower stalls and basements are typical moist areas prone to the growth of molds, any moist area in the home can harbor mold. Drywall, ceiling tiles, carpets, furniture, ductwork, roofing, paneling, wallpaper, under sinks, and the areas around plumbing pipes are examples of areas in the home that can become infested by mold if the requisite growing conditions are present.
Mold from the outdoors can enter the home through open doors, windows, and vents. It may also become attached to clothing, shoes, and pets and therefore be carried indoors.
Mold can have many different colors and sometimes appears as spots. Additionally, a musty odor may be present. Mold growth may also be hidden underneath carpeting, on the back side of wallpaper, and behind drywall or paneling. Saunas, greenhouses, and construction areas are places where mold is commonly found.
What kinds of health problems may be linked to mold? What are symptoms and signs of mold allergy?
Molds produce irritating substances that may act as allergy-causing substances (allergens) in sensitive individuals. Furthermore, some molds produce toxic substances known as mycotoxins, but mold itself is not poisonous or toxic. The conditions under which some molds produce toxins are poorly understood, and the presence of mold, even a mold that is capable of producing toxins, does nor always imply that toxins are being produced. Mold may not cause any health effects, or it may lead to symptoms in people, including adults and children, who are sensitive to molds.
Allergic reactions to mold are the most common health effects of mold. Allergic reactions may happen immediately or develop after a period of time following exposure. Both growing mold and mold spores may lead to allergic reactions. Symptoms and signs of mold allergy may include
- sneezing,
- runny nose,
- coughing,
- wheezing,
- watery eyes,
- redness of the eyes,
- itchy eyes,
- skin irritation or rash.
Asthma attacks may be caused by mold or mold spores in people who have asthma and are allergic to mold. Even in some nonallergic individuals, mold can irritate the eyes, skin, and airways. For example, the "black mold" Stachybotrys, along with some other types of mold, produces toxins known as mycotoxins that can cause irritation of the skin and airways in susceptible individuals.
Sometimes, people may develop severe reactions to mold exposure. Symptoms of severe reactions, which are uncommon, include fever and difficulty breathing. People with compromised immune systems or those with chronic lung disease can develop serious infections of the lungs due to molds.
It is not possible to predict the degree of severity of the health risks associated with mold in the home. Allergic individuals vary in their degree of susceptibility to mold, and the risk may also depend upon the extent and exact type of mold that is present.
In 2004, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, cough, and wheezing in otherwise healthy people. Mold also was linked to the worsening of asthma symptoms in people who have asthma. Mold was also reported to be linked to hypersensitivity pneumonitis in individuals susceptible to this immunologic condition. This uncommon disease is similar to pneumonia and can develop in susceptible individuals after brief or prolonged exposure to mold.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "A link between other adverse health effects, such as acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage among infants, memory loss, or lethargy, and molds, including the mold Stachybotrys chartarum (Stachybotrys atra), has not been proven."

Court Gives a Victory to Atlanta Street Vendors by Striking Down Government-Granted Vending Monopoly
On 12/21/12, Christmas came early for Atlanta vendors Larry Miller and Stanley Hambrick when Judge Shawn Ellen LaGrua of the Fulton County Superior Court struck down the city's Public Vending Management Program. In 2011, the two longtime street vendors who operate outside of Turner Field filed suit to challenge Atlanta's vending regulations that had already put numerous vendors out of business.

Do you know any Shih Tzus or Yorkies? How about a dog named Bella or Lucky? Chances are good that you do if you live in NYC. New York public radio station WNYC has created a really cool map detailing the most popular dog breeds and names in the Big Apple, neighborhood by neighborhood.
Examining dog licensing records for almost 100,000 dogs, WNYC found the most common pooch on the street is a mixed-breed named either Max or Bella.
While the map is super cool for finding the most common dogs in each NYC neighborhood, the data it uses—provided by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which runs the dog licensing program—also reveals a sad fact: Only one in five dogs in NYC is licensed.
So, what's the big deal? Well, not only is it illegal to have an unlicensed dog in the city, but licensing helps reunite lost dogs with their pet parents and assists with medical follow-ups for individuals potentially exposed to infected dogs. Plus, the proceeds from registration fees help support New York City's Animal Care & Control (AC&C).
"If the city encouraged and enforced dog licensing, we would be able to raise more revenue for animals in need," says Michelle Villagomez, the ASPCA's NYC Legislative Director.
According to the 2009-2010 American Pet Product Manufacturers Survey, if 50% of NYC dogs were licensed, the City could raise approximately $3.7 million to help animals.
"A well-funded animal population control program would likely reduce the number of dogs and cats euthanized and reduce potential threats to public health and safety," says Villagomez.
The license fee is $8.50 for an altered dog and $34 for an unaltered dog. The surcharge of $25.50 for unaltered dogs goes to the City Animal Population Control Fund to help AC&C implement a population control program.
If you're a New Yorker with an unlicensed dog, what are you waiting for? License that pup to help save lives!
Bronx resident Raul Sanchez has pleaded guilty to his involvement in a major dog fighting operation.
Sanchez, who harbored 50 dogs in a Bronx apartment building basement, was arrested in June and indicted in July on multiple charges related to animal fighting, aggravated cruelty to animals, and possession of a weapon. He faces one to three years in prison. If granted parole, Sanchez would be prohibited from owning animals during the length of his parole. He could also face deportation to his native Cuba after his sentence is served.
In 2012, ASPCA responders assisted the NYPD in the investigation and rescue of the dogs, who were suffering in cramped cages in a dark and dingy basement. The room included a makeshift fighting arena with capacity for dozens of spectators. The dogs were transferred to a temporary shelter, where they received care from ASPCA's veterinary staff and were evaluated by the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Behavior Team.
We're working nonstop to combat the cruel practice of animal fighting nationwide, and we're making progress. Earlier this week, legislators reintroduced the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, which would make it a federal offense to attend an organized animal fight and would impose additional penalties for bringing a minor to an animal fight.
Please join us in our efforts by asking your own House representative to support this important humane legislation.
The weekend is almost here! In case you missed this week's best news about animals, here's what caught our eye.
Have you ever seen a puppy so cute you wanted to eat his little face? A kitten so adorable you could just squeeze her to death? Turns out science may have an explanation.
Looking for a great story—and another reason to microchip your pets? Check out this cat's amazing journey.
What's that, you say? You could stand to read another amazing cat story? This cat survived a fire thanks to some special equipment that could one day help your pet.
If you're gearing up for the Super Bowl, meet this camel who predicts the winner. (Hint: It's bad news for 49ers fans.)
But if you're more of a Puppy Bowl person, get a glimpse of this year's starting lineup. We love all the Pit Bull mixes this year, but all the puppies are SUPER cute.
See you next week!
If ever there was a dog whose prospects looked grim, it was Carson the Shih Tzu. Two years ago, when the three-year-old breeding dog was rescued from a puppy mill in central Minnesota, Carson's face and underweight body were completely overwhelmed by huge mats of hair, urine and feces. When his rescuers bathed him, they discovered that his eyes had been eaten away by infection. There was nothing left to save: His eye sockets were cleaned out and his lids sewn shut.
Jessica Danielson was on Petfinder.com seeking a companion for her senior pooch Diesel, and although she wasn't looking for a challenge, she was drawn to Carson's posting. "I knew I could give him everything he needed. God put him right there and said 'This is the one. He needs you.' When I called the rescue to set up a meeting, Carson's foster mom almost started crying because she thought he'd never find a home."
"It took almost a year before he would trust me enough to cuddle me, kiss my face, and just feel safe enough to wander the house," remembers Jessica. In spite of his rough start, Carson is now a very loving and affectionate boy who has taught his new mom, in her words, about "survival, trust, and the real meaning of love!"
Carson's impact on Jessica doesn't end there. Now in love with the breed, she went on to adopt two more rescued Shih Tzus—Ernie and Mr. Wiggles—and became a volunteer foster mom for special-needs dogs through Ruff Start Rescue.
Did you adopt a puppy mill dog? Tell us your story by emailing [email protected]. And remember, never buy a puppy in a pet store or online—they almost always come from puppy mills. While a pet store puppy may be hard to resist, purchasing one dooms his parents, dogs like Carson, to lives of cruelty, filth and neglect.
Visit NoPetStorePuppies.com to learn more and take the pledge not to buy anything at pet stores or on websites that sell puppies.
Great news, animal advocates! Yesterday U.S. Reps. Tom Marino (R-PA), Jim McGovern (D-MA), John Campbell (R-CA) and Jim Moran (D-VA) reintroduced the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, an ASPCA-supported bill to strengthen our federal laws against animal fighting.
While it's already a federal crime to actively participate in an animal fight, it's the spectators who drive the enterprise and make it profitable. This bill would make it a federal offense to attend an organized animal fight and impose additional penalties for bringing a child to a fight.
The Senate passed this bill in the previous Congress, but even with over half the House in support, Congress was unable to pass a final bill. Reintroducing this bill in the early days of the new Congress gives us an opportunity to build on the momentum from the last Congress and help finally close the federal loophole for animal fighting spectators.
Ask your own House representative to support this important humane legislation! Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center right now to quickly email your U.S. rep in Washington and urge him or her to cosponsor the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act.

David Ball owes his new Sparkle City album to a septic tank and a drainfield.
"Man, I was moving. Moving to Texas," said Ball, whose country chart successes include "Thinkin' Problem," "Riding With Private Malone" and "When The Thought Of You Catches Up With Me."
"I was going to be a regional Texas act. I wrote 40 or 50 songs over a three year period when I was planning on moving down there, and they were exactly what I wanted to write and what I wanted to say. I had sold my house, but. . . . well, the house is on a septic tank and it has a drainfield, and part of the drainfield was in the wrong place."
Ball got the situation straightened out, but it took five months, and in those five months the economy had begun to crash and his buyers pulled out. And it's hard to be a Nashville-based regional Texas act. But frustration washed away in favor of a one-foot-in-front-of-the-other approach, and Ball began assembling a Nashville band to play the songs he'd been writing. He found drummer Scott Metko, guitarist Troy Cook, Jr. and bass man Billy Pierce, and dubbed those players The Pioneer Playboys.
"If you've got to call it something, call it Texas Hillbilly music," said Ball, a South Carolina native who has logged hundreds of hours playing shuffle-happy songs in Texas dance halls. "We started playing a bunch of little places, from Puckett's in Franklin to Legend's Corner on Lower Broadway. Those Lower Broad gigs are fun, but they're tough — four-hour shows, and the people usually want to hear 'Thinkin' Problem' and then a bunch of Merle Haggard covers, and we were wanting to try out new songs."

Comments about NeatReceipts® Mobile Scanner and Digital Filing System:
I got this item as a gift for my mom to help her be more organized. This product is for:
As a computer-literate person, I am able to easily use this item and its corresponding software on my PC. My mom, however, is not computer-literate at all. I would not suggest this gift for someone who is like her unless you (or someone else) are there to help.
This program does EXACTLY what it is advertised to do. However, if you have any receipts that are either worn (not very ledgible) or unusual (not your average grocery-type receipt) you will have scanning-to-software issues.
While the device and software can read and process many, common business receipts, sometimes the scan will result in incorrect prices or incorrect information/categorizing which you WILL need to manually edit in your Neat software.
Fortunately the program's form-fill-memory will make that easier as you go along and you won't have to continually type the same thing over and over.
LASTLY (the most annoying issue), if you use the program's automatic "Syncing" process, you will need to WAIT UNTIL ALL ITEMS ARE SYNCED before editing any information!!
If you start editing any of the scanned information BEFORE the syncing is complete, the currently syncing data will RESET (to what it was when first scanned) once the syncing is complete.
NOTE: The syncing feature is on as a DEFAULT. You will need to turn it off through settings if you do not care to Sync your information.

Moore Continues to Grow
The latest numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau ranks Moore 89th in the nation in population increase from 2010-2011. Moore, with an increase of 1,234 people (or 2.1 percent), was the only Oklahoma city included in the burea's national ranking of 100 cities experiencing the most growth (50,000-plus population cities only).
Deidre Ebrey, director of economic development and marketing for the city of Moore, said that the city's growth is taking place naturally and goes hand-in-hand with development across the Oklahoma City metro area. She adds that while Moore's high-quality school district and lower commute time than comparable cities has helped the numerical increase, it has taken careful planning to capture and direct the growth.
"It's just the consistent management of our larger growth that we did have back in the early parts of 2000, 2001, 2003 - I think we managed that really well," Ebrey said, "I think the perception and reality now are kind of matching up that this is a great place to raise a family."
Oklahoma City led the state in total population increase for 2010-2011, jumping from 580,001 to 591,967. Statewide, the fastest growing cities were Mustang and Piedmont (3.5 percent growth) and Yukon (3.4 percent). Eight of the state's 10 cities experiencing the largest numeric growth were in the Oklahoma City metro area.
Statewide, the population increased by 40,154 people to 3,791,508. that's a growth rate of 1 percent over the previous year, according to the Census data

Just a week to go to the new season – it seems crazy to write that! The off-season has gone by so fast. It seems like just a couple of weeks ago we were in Prague for the Fed Cup final.
I did my main tennis training in Dubai. Each time I visit I am amazed by how the place has changed. Dubai is a popular place for players to train before the Australian Open, because the extreme heat prepares you well for what we will experience in Melbourne.
I had a big team with me there: my coach, hitting partner, fitness trainer and physio were all in Dubai for a fortnight. It was a successful training camp – I played some good tennis and was especially happy with my serve and my movement.
The off-season is important because it kind of sets you up for the season ahead: it gives you a base to fall back on. The most successful years of my career followed good preparation periods, and I feel I've done everything I could do prepare myself properly for 2013.
Away from the court we had fun too. I visited some great restaurants, such as Nobu and Toro Toro, and one night we all cooked together: I did salmon and tuna fillets, while others in the team took care of other components. Joe, my hitting partner, was the master of salads!
This is actually the latest I've arrived in Australia in a long, long time, as I usually do my preparation here. I think it's important to change things from time to time, and playing six matches at the Hopman Cup (including doubles) means that I can have a good, focused week of practice in Melbourne before the Aussie Open, rather than playing Sydney like I usually do.
The Hopman Cup is for sure one of the most fun events in tennis and I'm delighted to be back in Perth. To say that they treat us well here is an understatement. But it's not just the players – they even serve lobster and champagne in the player box!! They really spoil us.

due to the nature of this instructable and the many failures that have been had by many fellow makers, i will no longer be providing support for you if you mess up your pandigital tablet. i have now in the last year alone not even have owned one of these silly things, so let it be made known, if you continue, your on your own!, so sucsess of failure will be determined on your comprehension and exact execution of these instructions.
so it occured to me yesterday that this stupid pandigital e-reader was actually a super locked down version of andriod that lacked the regular interface, i mean Heck, it said it ran on android right on the side of the box! but since it was supposed to be a "e-reader" the manufacture locked down the front end of the system (not cool guys) so it would preform one task and one task only, but were gonna change that and this is how:
btw: your gonna need a sd card:]
after a large community response to the flaws with pandigital's download site and their android open platform , and a desire to have the android market place, the ability to change the background, retain the ability to read E-books, and many other features its lacked, i have done extensive research into how to add this functionality back in, but in doing so i have discovered someone who has already done so, this individual goes by the name jackbox he is a member of the slatedroid forum he released 3 versions of his work all of which i have briefly tested and the best one is his second version which you can download from media fire here their is only one problem with it is that you still cant change the background easily but i found an app called AndroPaint Lite which can be installed by just copying it to the sd card and selecting it through the file browser to install it, this should give you the ability to change the background which you can download from this instructable. thanks goes out to slatedroid member jackbox!
due to users being fruskrated with thier device regardless what they try to do to it, i am including a list of urls that will tell how to restore the device back to factory settings so they can return it and get their money back cause ill admit it the pandigital novel is a complete piece of crap not worth the money.
WHERE TO GET FACTORY FIRMWARE AND HOW TO USE IT :http://www.pandigital.net/?PageID=391
Please note, this update is for Pandigital Novel 7" Color Multimedia eReaders only!!!!
Thanks Kyle, this worked just like you said it would.
I have a huge problem! I tried everything you told me to do. i got to the part where it starts to download. it got to 25% then the whole system shut down. I can't turn it on anymore. it won't even charge! i clicked reset, power on an vol+ nothing!! I unplugged the battery an i finally got the ac cable charging light to come on but once I try an turn on the ereader the light goes off an the ereader still wouldn't come on! and i would have to do all the same process just to get the charging light to come on! idk if my pandigital is bricked or not but please help me fix it!
im not entirely shure if its bricked, I wish i could help but its been 3 yrs since i owned one of these, now i have a galaxy tab 3. chances are if you used a pin to hold the reset button down for 15 seconds it would probably default to factory firmware...
I need your help, I want to works again.
i have the same problem that sqy21 (black screen) after update the firmware....
i have to read much much and find the solution in other post, is the following_
the problem is the kernel file and the recovery.img file.....therefore the system not recognized this files and the screen not function, but the pdn is on.......
ok, you must download the sdk, kernel and recovery.img files
see this post, there is part of the solution....
there describes step by step the solution
if to do this steps and the screen is on but the operative system no charge, you must installing the jackbox firmware or the original kit firmware again and the screen is black again...then....do the step ADB again and the pdn is on and funtinally.......
if no undertand write me and try to solution both.......
thanks for the instructions to install this version of android, the last version I was using required to rebind the volume keys, and DOS in to install apps.
I have tried with the two g-mail accounts. But I still get a server error....
Do you another way to get the market working?
Thanks anyway
I hope it helps. It worked on my tablet arnova 9 2G
I need much help here. Also did this just to get "Scrabble free" app for my mommy :)
When searching google for pandigital hacks, your FIRST :D!! lol....so naturally everyone clicks your link!

I found this link and it explains how to find apps that do work.
If I may post this link to help those that are looking for help on their 9" black pandigital....

The former director of the Reston Zoo has pleaded guilty to animal cruelty and is currently serving time in jail on the charge, according to her attorney.
Last September, Meghan Mogensen, 27, was convicted and sentenced to 360 days in jail on both animal cruelty and drug possession charges and ordered to pay $1,250 on the combined charges by Fairfax County General District Court Judge Ian O'Flaherty; the judge immediately suspended 330 days of her jail time. Her attorney, Caleb Kershner appealed O'Flaherty's ruling.
An appellate hearing was originally scheduled for November in Fairfax County District Court, but a plea agreement was reached last week.
Mogensen pleaded guilty to the animal cruelty charge — a class one misdemeanor — in exchange for the drug possession charge being dropped.
Kershner said Mogensen is currently serving out her 30-day jail sentence on the animal cruelty charge but that she is expected to only be incarcerated for 14 of the 30 days.
"She should be out on, or around, Jan. 13," he said.
As part of Mogensen's plea agreement, she also is banned from making any euthanasia-related decisions should she resume her position in the future as an animal caretaker.
"That will not be an issue, because she is moving on to other employment," said Kershner on Friday.
Mogensen's family owns the zoo.
On Jan. 26, 2012, after receiving a tip from then-zoo employee Ashley Rood, Fairfax County police opened an investigation relating to allegations of improper treatment of injured animals and improper use of euthanasia drugs. Rood has since resigned from her position at the zoo.
"This was a complex, five-month-long investigation that included both state and federal agencies," Fairfax County police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell said at the time Mogensen was charged.
Mogensen was charged with animal cruelty by county police, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
According to court testimony and a Feb. 16 warrant filed in Fairfax County Circuit Court, Rood told police a sick wallaby was found dead in a trash receptacle after having earlier been placed into a crate. Wallabies are part of the kangaroo family.
Rood said the crate later was empty and the wallaby was discovered in a nearby trash container. Rood told police she feared the wallaby had been illegally drowned.
Mogensen said she euthanized the wallaby with an injection of a drug called Beauthansia because it was suffering from a severe eye injury, but police said no injection mark could be found on the wallaby.
Police said in the search warrant that the zoo was not legally authorized to euthanize animals.
In their search of the zoo, police also found amounts of the prescription tranquilizer Ketamine, a controlled substance also known as the street drug "Special K." Police said the zoo did not have a permit to possess the drug.
"Meghan is a tremendous person, but the state felt that in this case her actions constituted animal cruelty, so she is complying with her sentencing," Kershner said Friday.

Gallery: O-14 GREEN DUBAI TOWER
Form truly follows function when it comes to the façade of the lean green O-14 (pronounced "oh-14″) office tower which broke ground this past December in Dubai. At 22 stories tall, the 300,000 square-foot commercial tower's most unique feature is its façade, which is made of 16″ thick concrete containing over 1,000 circular openings.
Designed by RUR Architecture, the building's façade perforations serve as a solar screen, letting in light, air, and views through to the interior occupants. The one-meter space between the façade and the building's glass surface also yields a chimney effect causing hot air to rise, creating an efficient passive cooling system. The façade also serves as a structural exoskeleton, absorbing all of the tower's lateral forces and acting as a physical barrier for the building's window wall.
The Architects Jesse Reiser and Nanoko Umemoto of RUR Architecture designed O-14 in collaboration with developer Shahab Lutfi. The result was a fruitful relationship between developer and architect- both Reiser and Umemoto comment on the significance of their working relationship with Lutfi, with particular regard to his outlook and enthusiasm for innovative architecture.
Dubai is fast becoming the global leader of bizarre upscale developments — for more interesting Dubai architecture, check out the rotating solar tower, and the floating mosque and floating communities which are currently being developed.

form follows function is dead. please strike this empty jingle from your lexicon of cliches. if the form of the building's concrete exoskeleton were expressive of structure, the force transfer lines would be much more obvious. the building's large architectural gesture here is that the envelope seeks to destabilize the relationships of the interior floor slab construction, in order to produce a building that is somewhat scaleless. (this is one of reiser+umemoto's fundamental principles, and for further reading you should refer to atlas of novel tectonics) sure, the sustainable stack-effect is worth congratulating, but i really think that the passive cooling of the building is not as interesting as its subtle critique of the rest of dubai's architecture. o-14 does much more with much less. in a way, it goes along the lines of the rem koolhaas diagram of difference that makes no difference, inserting a rather clean prismic form within a urbanism of ridiculous towers.

so they havnt built it yet?
are they going to build it or still desiding
i recon they should build it coz it looks COOOOOOOOL!!!!!
February 15, 2007 at 11:35 am
Not since HK has there been a city so forward thinking in Architecture design. Can't wait to see what this is going to look like…
February 12, 2007 at 12:06 pm
Dubai is to architecture what Paris is to haute couture.
In the years ahead, we will likely see adaptations and interpretations of Dubai's exciting exciting designs. It is likely already happening.
February 9, 2007 at 2:50 pm
I do love Dubai's recent architecture projects. The designs are definitely not cookie-cutter and they're really worth seeing. But while they do take into consideration the structures' energy-efficiency and all, I hope they're also putting some importance on the materials and land use.
February 6, 2007 at 2:20 am
Dubai's architecture maynot exactly be experimental as a whole. But bizzare it is. It commercial value being of paramount importance, architecture is often simply aped from western examples- not very innovative, u'd agree. Attractions like Dancing towers & Burj Dubai (highest tower- planned) are there as well. But 0-14 is one of the few environmentally concious buildings I have seen. Huge amount of glass and a/c in a hot climate with only concrete used as a building material is what the avreage scenario is like. Is that soemthing to learn from? I wonder if it isnt another repition of follies we've already experienced in the past in more developed environments, where we r now trying to make amends.
February 5, 2007 at 10:02 pm
I'm all for experimental whacky architecture, especially when I don't have to live/work in it – but why do they have to create such inhuman streetscapes? Is it not possible to create a street-level facade that reads as a building or is scaled to be comfortable for the users?
February 5, 2007 at 12:44 pm
I also like a lot of what Dubai is doing. They are investing in themselves for when their oil money runs out. Nice to see our, the US, money going to good innovative use. Instead of just building more gilded palaces, buying more jumbo jets and horses (thank you House of Saud and other arab princes for you contributions to Kentucky's economy) Dubai is also experimenting with their architecture. This will allow the rest of the world to learn what works and what doesn't.
February 3, 2007 at 7:46 pm
I like what Dubai is doing in terms of Architecture. They are building around their culture and they represent that in theri buildings. It is both progressive and also keeps the appreciation of both the culture and the people there, and its a great view for tourist too.
February 1, 2007 at 4:36 pm
i think passive cooling was perfected by termites… also working in adobe.
January 31, 2007 at 9:59 pm
As far as modelling to make sure it works, the idea of passive cooling is not new. It was perfected by an English architecht, working more with adobe than concrete, in India in the past century. Natural heating and cooling through design. Very energy efficient.
January 31, 2007 at 4:07 pm
What an interesting move away from the mundane office blocks. It is a clever, sophisticated design and the architects should be proud of themselves. It will be a focal point in the Dubai skyline for many years to come!
January 31, 2007 at 2:11 pm
"Dubai is fast becoming the global leader of bizarre upscale developments…."
What do mean?
It's like living in a mall and never leaving.
January 31, 2007 at 12:03 pm
embodied energy of concrete? environmental costs of construction? what happened to cradle to cradle thinking here?
January 31, 2007 at 6:30 am
I hope they've modelled it to be sure the idea really works…if so, then, impressive!
January 30, 2007 at 10:51 pm
impressive use of geometry to create a very unique and funtional piece of architecture. We can be sure to expect more from Dubai, with new building projects poping up every 3 months or so.

|It's Vermont Open Studio Memorial Day Weekend
While traveling around Vermont this Memorial Day weekend, look for artists and craft workers who have opened their studios to visitors. Some of these are retail operations that are usually open anyway but many others are located at the artist's home (or barn, in some cases!). This is a rare opportunity to see their actual studios which I think is more interesting than seeing their works in a gallery.
There will be oil and watercolor paintings, pottery, hand-blown glass, wood furniture, photography, sculpture, jewlery, quilting, fiber arts. The best place to get information is at the Vermont Crafts Council website. There is also a very well done brochure that you can pick up at any of Vermont's Vermont Welcome Centers and other information racks located in stores, inns, gas stations, etc.

|Dandelion Festival May 19
In suburbs all over this country, homeowners are gearing up to do battle with lawn weeds this spring. The king of all weeds, the dandelion, is often number one on their hit list. But naturally, here in Vermont, we take a different tact - people here cultivate the darned thing for heaven's sake. And wouldn't you know, there's even a group of Vermonters who have a festival celebrating America's most frustrating weed. To top it off, there is another group of Vermonters who actually show up at the event. Go figure.
You should come out and take a look at these quirky folks. You'll find they are friendly and relaxed. Some of that may have to do with the fact they are drinking white wine that's made from their exalted weed.
So, while the rest of the country digs, cuts, chops, burns, poisons, and generally mutilates the poor plant, you can find a place that celebrates it with raised glass and grateful palates. This festival is a good chance for you to make an entry in your list of goofy but fun stuff you did with your time on this planet.
The festival is Saturday, May 19th at Grandview Winery from 1:00 to 5:00.Admission is free. There will be music along with other types of wines to taste. Grandview Winery is located about 15 minutes north of Montpelier. You can get directions here. It's a very scenic area to drive around exploring. I recommend a drive up through Plainfield and Marshfield over to the town of Peacham and just pick some side roads to explore. It's a lot of fun to see the beautiful vistas and farms back in the hills and you will no doubt find some good places to photograph. The area around Peacham is one of the most photographed in the state of Vermont. Cabot Cheese factory is nearby in the town of Cabot and it's worth a visit for the factory tour and cheese shop.
The dandelion blossom produces a wine that tastes surprisingly good. It is aromatic and lightly sweet. Quantities are limited and the price is about $15 a bottle.

I'am not much happy with the colors you have used.. Use cool colours (take codingforums.com site for example bro, these colours are not hard for the eye.. Use similar tones but use variations of Blue Colour or keep the site to Grey Variations). When it comes to menu bar, the structure is fine but its nice if you can use only one particular colour for hover effect. Add some images or sliders to the home page to make it look interesting.. Other than those issues, rest is ok for me...

The concept of your website is nice, the content is great as well. The key thing you have to focus on is design. It's too bluish, don't you think so? It's not a secret that blue is one of the best solutions when it comes to color choice, but in your case blue is overused. Try to dilute it with some other hues, for example, white or grey. If your site is mostly blue-colored, the use of red, orange etc, when mouse over, is not the best option. As to the style of header and footer, make them more appealing and noticable. You can add a slideshow in the header and more footer links in the footer. I think this will add more dynamics to your website.
Hope this will be helpful ))
