U know that could have been somebody else!
Someone more experienced will post, but the reason they pick up instead of handle is because it's the dog who needs the lesson and to not be rewarded with a bird by cheating. A lot of these folks have their eye on All Age stakes and really instill a good work ethic in their dogs. They aren't going to throw away all that training by allowing the dog to cheat at a trial. I've seen more than one handler pick up a dog in the Derby or Q that likely still would have placed or even won because it wasn't worth it to have the dog think he was in charge at a trial.
A "No! Here!!" is a tough love lesson that even some of the best dogs need sometimes!!

Seriously tho, Blake u definitely r wanting to learn the game & more about training. There r some good folks on this board & in the area where u live that can give u some pretty good advice (well sometimes)!! I am glad we got to meet & wish u & ur dog the very best .
Whistle, sit, No here, I practice it in training. Nothing more frustrating, then have a dog blow off many whistles, as you try to handle Or have to shut down the trial, go with a four wheeler to pick the dog up. It has happened to me with a FC/AFC more then once. I have judged some nice dogs one a National Amateur Field Champion, the owner/handler chased the dog down about a quarter mile from the running line! That dog had just won the National stake about three months before. There are many reasons for this behavior that could be discussed in another thread, but, not here. They are just dogs is the old many, times used, statements. Others times I have picked dogs up at the line, because of line issues and never let them have a bird, expensive yes, but it isn't all about ribbons, it's just because. Welcome to field trials.

February 23, 2002. Adam Gilchrist launched one of the most brutal assaults ever witnessed on a thoroughly decent South African bowling attack for a thundering double hundred. Arunabha Sengupta recalls the day when he scored the then quickest double century in Test history and just missed out on becoming a millionaire to boot.
It was the kind of sustained carnage unseen on a Test match ground. It was a savagery that led a normally sedate Wisden to remark, "Gilchrist was playing with them like a cat keeping a half-dead mouse alive for entertainment."
The first day had ended with the honours pretty much even. By the second afternoon, the balance had shifted devastatingly enough to leave South Africans tottering at the very edge of survival — a pulverised side shell-shocked into submission.
When Gilchrist had walked out to bat in the last hour of the first day, the Proteans had just about clawed their way back into the game. Matthew Hayden had provided a toned-down version of the left-handed destruction to follow, with a hundred studded with 18 boundaries and 2 sixes. But, he had been dismissed late into the fifth hour and Steve Waugh had not lasted too long. At 293 for 5, the game was evenly balanced.
Gilchrist and Damien Martyn had played out the remaining 10 overs of the day to finish on 331. The Australian wicketkeeper had not been overly aggressive during the dying moments of the day, apart from swinging Nel for six over square-leg.
It looked as if the home side, coming in from a demoralising 0-3 defeat in Australia, had settled down to provide a close contest. However, they ran into a hurricane on the second day.
The Hurricane
Martyn, classy and elegant, approached his innings with all the studious care of the archetypical Test match stylist. Gilchrist, however, had no such affiliation to the purists. Riled by some offensive taunts from the crowd as was he walking in to bat, he turned his focus on absolute destruction.
Bowler after bowler — quite a handful of them including Andre Nel, Makhaya Ntini and Jacques Kallis — faced the bazooka of a bat as the ball disappeared to all corners of the ground. Gilchrist reached his fifty in 89 balls with 6 fours and a six. South Africans had been hampered by the pulled hamstring Allan Donald suffered on the first day — his aging body finally gave up and he retired after the Test. Captain Shaun Pollock had been sidelined with injury. But, the remaining bowlers were a decent lot and treated with a degree of disdain that they did not deserve.
After reaching his fifty, Gilchrist stepped up the tempo. The second fifty took just 32 balls, and contained a further 6 boundaries and 2 sixes, both off Nicky Boje. All the while, Martyn had been as much a spectator as anyone else in the stands, doing little of note, apart from sending Nel to the boundary three times in an over.
After progressing watchfully to his half-century, Martyn opened up as well. His own second fifty took just 34 balls. An enthralling afternoon session produced 190 runs at 7.45 per over.
A hapless captain Mark Boucher, standing in for the injured Pollock, had to turn to the gentle medium pace of Neil McKenzie. Gilchrist, on 136, smashed him for 2, 4, 2, 6, 2, 4 — an annihilation almost poetic in its symmetry. The next over saw Nel being pulled for another huge six.
Almost a million
McKenzie bowled again, and after a quite five ball interlude containing just a two and a four, Gilchrist aimed for a million.
A local gold mine had placed an advertising hoarding — safely positioned well beyond the crowd at deep mid-wicket — offering a solid gold ingot worth 1.3 Rand to any batsman who could hit it. McKenzie pitched short and Gilchrist, by now toying with the attack, pulled it hard and high, following the ball with his eyes, egging it on with his gestures, jumping up and down in excitement. He missed the target by a couple of metres, reacting animatedly at the close brush with a fortune. However, he had moved to 175 with the stroke and the contest had been reduced to a game between Gilchrist and the limits of slaughtering havoc.
For a while, the long-standing 346-run sixth wicket partnership record set by Don Bradman and Jack Fingleton seemed under threat. But, with the stand worth 317, Martyn sliced one from Kallis down the throat of Gary Kirsten at third-man. He walked back for 133 at which point the score read 610 for 6. Neither batsman regretted missing out on the world record. According to Gilchrist, "It's best you don't tamper with those sorts of records. I don't think you want to knock The Don off."
There was no respite for the South Africans, though. In the following over, Gilchrist carted Boje for two more sixes off consecutive balls. And before Shane Warne fell at the stroke of tea, he too had pummelled Boje into the stands.
At the time of the interval, Gilchrist was on 199 from 211 balls. The first ball he faced after tea was from Kallis and he struck it for his 19th boundary to get to his double-hundred. It also contained 8 savage sixes and came off 212 deliveries, the fastest double century at that time — 8 balls quicker than Ian Botham's two-decade old record. Gilchrist also became the fifth wicketkeeper ever to get to 200, after Imtiaz Ali, Taslim Arif, Brendon Kuruppu and Andy Flower.
When Steve Waugh called him in at the end of the over, he walked back to a rousing ovation from an otherwise infamously parochial crowd. It had been a breathtaking unbeaten 204 from 213 deliveries, one of the most audaciously aggressive innings ever witnessed in Test cricket.
Australia had closed their innings at 652 for 7.
The aftermath of destruction
A shattered and shredded South African team could last just 86 overs across their two innings. They surrendered meekly against Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, Brett Lee and Jason Gillespie to lose within three days. The margin of defeat was the second heaviest ever inflicted in Test cricket — a whopping innings and 360 runs.
Brief scores:
Australia 652 for 7 decl. (Matthew Hayden 122, Mark Waugh 53, Damien Martyn 133, Adam Gilchrist 204*) beat South Africa 159 (Ashwell Prince 49) and 133 (Herschelle Gibbs 47, Glenn McGrath 5 for 21, Shane Warne 4 for 44) by an innings and 360 runs.

So, hang on...do I understand you correctly? You want the BlackBerry company to control the TMobile company? For, you see, to accomplish what you have stated, such would be required.
Each carrier is responsible for the rollout of their UMA services, if they even have them. BlackBerry cannot control a carriers UMA service availability...the carrier must control that. So, to do what you stated and since BlackBerry cannot control TMO, BlackBerry would have had to delay the rollout of this fantastic new device while waiting for those few carriers that even have UMA to make it ready and available for the BB10 platform.
An interesting consideration, to be sure...but they must make their choices when they must make them...and so it's TMO that has the brunt of the "blame" here...not BlackBerry as far as I can tell...

Since UMA requires hardware you won't see it anymore. T-Mo has used Kineto on previous phones and now IMS -- both can be added OTA. Which is the whole point. There is apparently a Beta version for Windows Phones out there now. My wife has the original UMA on her older BBerry and hand-off works just fine.
This is the question I want answered before I upgrade. It took ages to get the sofware update for the 9900 Bold, so until the UMA is activated I will not be upgrading, I need it as no signal where I live.
the major difference between UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access) and WiFi Calling is that UMA uses a UNC (UMA network controller and wifi calling does not. the UNC is what enables GSM handoff.
The first thing a UMA enabled handset does when entering range of a Wi-Fi network is attempt to connect to that network's Wireless Router (WR) in order to get internet access. Once connected to the internet, the handset sets up a secure tunnel all the way to the provider's network (the Security Gateway). If the subscriber is authenticated and authorized for UMA service, the handset is connected to the provider's network, via the UMA Network Controller or UNC and is ready to provide service to the subscriber.
WiFi calling uses only a VoIP connection type without creating a virtual GSM connection between the cellular network and the VoIP network and this is why UMA has handoff capability and WiFi calling does not
05-30-2013 08:35 PM - edited 05-30-2013 08:36 PM
The last version of BBerry that got wifi calling (as an OTA) was the IMS version, not UMA. According to what I've read. My wife's 9xxx BBerry uses "real" UMA and has no issue with hand-off, and we've had 3G in So. Cal for years. Prior to IMS, T-mo used Kineto, which was another software-only that could be added, and was added OTA to many Android sets. When Z10 gets wifi-calling it is 90% sure to be IMS, and 90% sure there will be no hand-off. But, maybe. Neither IMS nor Kineto needed hardware on the phone and neither allowed hand-off.

In these existing reports we have demonstrated the expression of each aromatase cytochrome P450 and AKR1C3 in H295 cells at the degree of mRNA transcript and protein. CYP19 mRNA has been beforehand demonstrated in H295 cells and the presence of translated protein has been assumed based mostly on the detection of
selleck aromatase action using the tritiated drinking water procedure. On the other hand, although AKR1C3 appeared constitutively expressed, aromatase protein was only observed after remedy with the cAMP-PKA pathway agonists, VIP and forskolin. Because AKR1C3 is a reductive NADPH-dependent 17- ketosteroid reductase capable of in vivo conversion of androstenedione to testosterone and estrone to estradiol, our obtaining is indicative that H295 cells can biosynthesize the active estrogen, estradiol, straight from cholesterol. Notwithstanding the evidence that cAMP-PKA pathway agonists, specifically VIP and forskolin, elevated the amount of CYP19 mRNA transcripts in H295 cells suggesting an aspect of transcriptional manage of CYP19 expression, our conclusions are also strongly suggestive of notable translational control of CYP19 expression. This conclusion is dependent on the demonstration of a quite fast accumulation of CYP19 protein inside six hrs immediately after commencement of cure together with important degrees of CYP19 mRNA transcripts even in untreated H295 cells. One clarification from a JAK inhibitors amount of plausible kinds could be that a microRNA is lively in the untreated cells. The aromatase enzyme is the one solution of the human CYP19 gene. A number of signaling pathways regulate CYP19 expression in the different tissues wherever aromatase is located. The stop response to the multiplicity of signals is below the manage of numerous promoters utilizing choice splicing of different upstream exons with exon II that contains the start out web-site of translation. In the present research utilizing H295 cells after stimulation of the cAMP/PKA pathway with VIP we located that the principal aromatase promoters used were being promoters PII and I.3. The proximal regions of both of these promoters have cAMP response component -like sequences which could be activated in a cAMPdependent way by VIP acting via the VPAC1 receptor. Indeed it have beforehand proven that forskolin most probable activates aromatase expression in H295 cells by means of these promoters. It was of curiosity to review information obtained from the study of H295 cells with the predicament existing in two various examples of human adrenocortical tumors, a feminizing adrenocortical carcinoma and an aldosterone-generating adrenal adenoma. Western immunoblotting of these tumors AZD-2014 discovered that the feminizing adrenal carcinoma expressed notable quantities of the two CYP19 and AKR1C3 regular with scientific proof that it was secreting bioactive estrogens. Nonetheless, the aldosterone-making adrenal adenoma did not express aromatase enzyme and the degree of AKR1C3 was minimized when compared to that identified in the feminizing adrenal tumor. The level of CYP19 mRNA transcripts relative to 18S housekeeping gene transcripts in the feminizing adrenal tumor had been comparable to these observed in the H295 cells, suggestive that H295 cells are an appropriate product for in-depth studies of mechanisms fundamental progress of these tumors.

For me, normally I listen to calmer stuff (Simon & Garfunkel, Belle and Sebastian, a few of The Beatles), a bit of "alternative rock" (or whatever they call it, Interpol, Metric, The Killers, etc) and a few more up tempo stuff (Bloc Party) when I'm in the mood, but I'm trying to figure out what works well with coding still.
95% of the time I code in complete silence, but I have recently noticed that repetitious techno (Daft Punk, Tiesto) seems to make my coding "faster", as if I get more energetic from the music. So, I'm trying to figure out if anything else works the same way, or if it was just a fluke or a good coincidence.

When I'm thinking about something, either if it's a way to solve something in the code I'm writing, or figuring out a part of the visual design of the thing I'm working on, I tend to listen to Tool, Interpol (like Andreas), Radiohead, or Pink Floyd.
When I have my algorithm all set up, and all I'm doing is implementing it, I switch to Nine Inch Nails, Puscifer, and I'll go as far as Alias and Air.
I haven't noticed this until recently, upon seeing Andreas' topic, that got me thinking. (topic that has brought me here)
I do not need a signature
I listen to only music solos (no songs) Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Safri Duo etc.
Really pumps up my work and designs.
I'm with Anogar.. for some reason Rap seems to get and keep me more in a flow of things.. I really don't have an explanation for it..

Harry: "Yeah, she stopped me in the lobby, and explained what was up. Then they slapped this bulletproof vest on me and gave me a gun!"
Lloyd: "But what if he'd shot ya in the face...?"
If you are in love, Carla Bruni is the best for programming...
Punjabi songs mostly and sometimes English and Hindi as well.
For me, when I do coding, I basically ignore any music running through my ears lol. Even though how awful it is, when you are really focus, the music seems non-existent. But its a good jump start, I prefer instrumental, trance and techno without vocals as it somehow interrupts brain from processing logical thinking and interpreting the lyrics simultaneously.
I am listening k-pop .. oh what the hallyu wave ! ^^
Chillout, ambience, a little dubstep but my favorites are: Synkro & Indigo and Jon Hopkins

Quick Take - Conns (CONN)
However, this is still an interesting and well run company. Long-time management (CEO Tom Frank has been with the company 48 years) has carved out a strategy that differentiates the business from direct competitors. Customer service is a big factor in successful retail ventures, and Conn's requires all of their sales personnel to take training to specialize their knowledge of home appliances or consumer electronics, even going so far as to send them on delivery and installation trips to put this knowledge to the test. For anyone who has encountered a clueless clerk at Circuit City (CC), the value of this is evident. Also, Conn's has a next-day delivery policy, and nearly 95% of qualifying purchases were fulfilled. Again, this is in stark contrast to most of the big box retailers.
But the biggest differentiation is Conn's in-house financing unit. Buying big ticket items like plasma televisions or a new washer/dryer is often done on credit cards, where providers earn big interest rates. Conn's decided it wanted to benefit from these by financing the sales of it's own products, and today close to 60% of all sales are done through the in-house credit department. The company earns over 19% interest on it's credit receivables while paying about 2.5% over LIBOR (currently under 4%) to obtain the capital for the loans, leading to an interest spread generally around 12-13%. Banks would kill for that spread. The financing business has been so successful that it now accounts for well over 10% of revenues.
Running the financing unit in-house puts default risk on the company's back as well. Fortunately, this has not been a major issue. Provisions for loan losses have typically been around 3%, and even last quarter (ending July 31) did not produce defaults out of the ordinary. Also, the company recently renewed their financing securitization facilities with banking partners, and the company believes it has enough access to capital to continue it's financing business through the next 12 months. This is extremely important news given the seizure in the credit markets today.
On top of all this, Conn's traditional metrics are good as well. The company has next to no debt and runs operating and cash flow margins roughly in line with it's competitors. The financing business plays a bit of havoc with the Magic Formula screening system though - financing income is included in operating earnings, but retained interest in the receivables is not, leading to a higher MFI return on capital than is realistic. MagicDiligence calculates about a 22% figure - not enough to land it on the screen in normal circumstances. Still, this is a well run regional player with some interesting competitive strategies and represents an attractive MFI pick.

Imprisoned in China
Shi Tao is serving a 10-year sentence in China on charges of "leaking state secrets abroad." Shi worked as an editor for Dangdai Shang Bao (Contemporary Trade News), a newspaper in the city of Changsha, in Hunan Province. He also wrote essays calling for political reform that were posted on overseas news Web sites that are banned in China. He was arrested in November 2004 for posting notes from a directive issued by China's Propaganda Department that instructed the media how to cover the 15th anniversary of the military crackdown in Tiananmen Square. Shi's appeal was rejected in June. His mother has filed for a review of the appeal, charging "serious procedural defects." Shi's imprisonment highlights the Chinese government's intense efforts to control the Internet, the only alternative to China's officially sanctioned print and broadcast media. The government monitors Internet content, blocks Web sites, requires bloggers to register their identities, and solicits the help of companies doing business in China. In this case, the U.S. Internet giant Yahoo helped authorities identify Shi through his e-mail account. Half of the 42 journalists imprisoned in China at year's end in 2004 were jailed for work distributed on the Internet. Many had written for Chinese-language Web sites hosted overseas. Read his e-mail describing the Chinese government's directions Read his essay, "Helping, Complying, Informing." Read his essay, "Flies and Tigers, Fish and Bicycles." Below is a translated transcript of the e-mail Shi Tao distributed describing the Chinese government's directions on Tiananmen Square anniversary coverage: Excerpts from Document Eleven issued by the General Offices of the Communist Party of China and the State Council Provided by 198964 On April 20, propaganda departments in China distributed to news organizations at various levels a Document 11 issued by the offices of the Communist Party of China and by the offices of the State Council. The content of the document was "A notice concerning the work for maintaining stability". An extract is as follows: 1: An analysis on the current situation: (1) This year will see the 15th anniversary of the "June 4th event," and overseas pro-democracy activists have been busy, and are preparing to commemorate the day by adopting very intrusive activities, and preparing to infiltrate China (2) On the problem of liberalism, its main tenet is to deny the leadership of the Communist Party and the socialist system, and carry on what is known as studying the people; and therefore some antagonistic forces are politicizing criminal cases (3) Evil "Falun Gong" members are carrying out damaging activities (4) Various kinds of harmful information are being spread on the Internet. (5) Mass events have become prominent, such as those that have resulted from resettlement after demolition or relocation of residential housing, and appeals for help from higher authorities (6) Overseas antagonistic forces are trying to draw young people and teenagers through such channels as religion (printed matter and Internet), or developing academic activities and assistantships to study in schools, and engaging in illegal activities (7) The Hong Kong problem. The key points above are about the "June 4th event," "Falun Gong" and about "mass events." 2. Departments at various levels should take widespread preventive measures on the following: (1) Resolutely stop pro-democratic activities from infiltrating the country (2) Take strict precautions against all kinds of activities (by this they mean outlawed ones) (3) Take strict precautions against hostile elements who use the Internet to organize activities (4) Take strict precautions against mass events taking place (5) Take strict precautions against the "Falun Gong" evil cult organization sabotaging events (6) Take strict precautions for the safety of key departments and personnel (7) Take strict precautions against certain factors that would have adverse influences on stability and unity Five crucial jobs that must be seriously tackled: (1) To adhere to correct theories and sense of responsibility (2) To thoroughly strengthen intelligence information so as to be aware of any activities (3) To preserve in influencing public opinion in the right way, effectively prevent sabotage by overseas antagonist elements; never say any thing that is not in line with the policies of the central government (4) Stress the key points, and effectively carry out preventive controls against them (5) Reduce the number of petitions to higher authorities from the masses (Also monitor contacts between overseas pro-democratic activists and editors and reporters of mainland media. Report immediately once such contacts are discovered. ) (Originally published on Democracy Info 2004.4.20) Helping, Complying, Informing Published by Democracy Forum Web site on May 23, 2001 By Shi Tao Translated by Henry Sanderson China's Central TV station broadcast a commercial that was illegal and had serious political problems. When a reporter from the Jiawang Television Station, Xuezhou City, Jiangsu Province, discovered this he reported it immediately to the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television (SARFT) and sought a correction. And in the end CCTV was ordered to stop broadcasting its illegal commercial immediately. Reason tells us this is a good thing. All business must exert a measure of self-control, consciously accepting society's limits, and CCTV is no exception. This is an expression of society's responsibility, and can also be considered a help to the government; the government has often encouraged the news media to "assist and not create trouble." Another situation is simply compliance. Writers are afraid to offend the government, and instead follow the proverb "Don't beat tigers, only beat flies." They write inoffensive articles, taking up the American concept of "lifestyle services"--detailing for example the way to smoke a cigar. In this manner of self-protection, media companies are able to go on existing, while following a principle of "not assisting and not creating trouble." Most frightening are the accomplices of the government. Today the competition between newspapers and other media is fierce to the point of a life and death struggle. In these conditions, people light fires to get the upper hand, desperately giving their help to the government. Informers emerge who participate in the restriction of the media by naming instances of "forbidden speech." These accomplices clamp down on press freedom, and freedom of speech. They are more rigorous, cruel and efficient than the Propaganda Department itself, because they are the heads of news departments and belong to the "intellectual elite." For their own purposes they raise their voices to exert control over the very nourishment of the intellectuals, while specifically studying all the government's restrictions on the media. With a magnifying glass, they seek "incriminating" evidence from their rivals. They wait to find something valuable, and then, like rats, they immediately report it to all levels of the Propaganda Department. When their competitors have received criticism, and a warning from the police, or their publishing title is revoked for restructuring or a "large-scale reorganization," the true colors of the informers are revealed, and they hold banquets to celebrate their success. In every large city in China, each member of the media is walking on ice because of these accomplices, and lives in fear. Because this informer could be your classmate, colleague, fellow professional, even your drinking buddy or your Mahjong friend - or it could be that person with whom you spent the whole night talking excitedly about democracy and freedom in a hostel that year. For they live in the same sphere as you. Everybody tacitly understands this, and just tries hard to succeed in a private darkness. Not long ago, a group of journalists met at a dinner party. Everyone freely discussed the politics of the time, offering their thoughts and ideas. During the evening one journalist from Shaanxi, without thinking, brought up rumor that had spread on the Internet concerning General Secretary Jiang Zemin and the singer Song Zuying. The result was that one journalist from Beijing who had been sent there reported the joke internally. The Shaanxi journalist subsequently lost his job. And every journalist who heard this felt an icy chill. |

HOST is not available in iSQL*Plus.
HO[ST] [command]
where command represents an operating system command.
Executes an operating system command without leaving SQL*Plus.
Enter HOST without command to display an operating system prompt. You can then enter multiple operating system commands. For information on returning to SQL*Plus, refer to the platform-specific Oracle documentation provided for your operating system.
Operating system commands entered from a SQL*Plus session using the HOST command do not affect the current SQL*Plus session. For example, setting an operating system environment variable only affects SQL*Plus sessions started subsequently.You can disable HOST. For more information about disabling HOST, see SQL*Plus Security.
In some operating systems, you can use a character in place of HOST such as "$" in Windows or "!" in UNIX, or you may not have access to the HOST command. See the platform-specific Oracle documentation provided for your operating system or ask your DBA for more information.
On some platforms, an _RC substitution variable may be created with a HOST return value that is operation system dependent. It is recommended that you do not use the _RC substitution variable in scripts as it is not portable.
SQL*Plus removes the SQLTERMINATOR (a semicolon by default) before the HOST command is issued. A workaround for this is to add another SQLTERMINATOR. See SET SQLT[ERMINATOR] {; | c | ON | OFF} for more information.
To execute a UNIX operating system command, ls *.sql, enter
HOST ls *.sql
To execute a Windows operating system command, dir *.sql, enter
HOST dir *.sql

Did George have any more acceptable material pre-revolver that was recordable aside from You Know What To Do? Ringo was also writing back then just mostly rehashed country stuff, it took almost 4 years for Dont Pass Me By to be accepted. A lot of John and Paul songs were either dumped on other artists or completely forgotten because they weren't up to scratch.
Im not saying that George got much of a help from John and Paul when developing as a songwriter but lack of quality material might have been as big a reason as any for only 2 songs on Help! and Rubber Soul but he was only 2 behind John or Paul on Revolver, every one just adds it up that johnandpaul got 10. Neither am i saying George didnt deserve more space later on as what he was trying to get recorded was every bit as worth as what the other 2 offered, if not better.

Apparently Matchbox was intended to be on AHDN, never knew that, but just happened to be reading the piece on Matchbox as it was song of the day.
''In June 1964 the group were considering which songs to record for their third long player, A Hard Day's Night. Matchbox was intended to be Ringo's feature on the album, but was later deemed surplus to requirements and so it appeared on the Long Tall Sally EP.''
I must say it wouldn't have fitted in on AHDN anyway. Doesn't really go well with the rest imo.
14 May 2013
All the 13 songs were already recorded, and:
Ringo: Hey guys, what song I'm going to sing?
Paul: No Ringo, you're not gonna sing in this album
Ringo: Why!?
John: Because you already chose the title of the album. That's enough participation!
Ringo: But we need 14 songs!
Paul: Meh!

Sorry if I missed this previously...I've been without internet for 10 days (moving house...). I thought I'd recalled that I Call Your Name was the intended song but didn't make the cut.

Apparently it had been written long before that. The article on the song says it was written even before Hamburg. It was indeed held off AHDN due to it's similarity to You Can't Do That. So that doesn't necessarily mean it was intended to be the 14th song, right? Am I the only one who thinks it's funny that they obviously had enough songs but still only put 13 songs on the album?
18 November 2013
I'd never thought about this...I can also hear Ringo doing I'll Cry Instead....as it stands, the album seems to lack a proper ending, so I would have picked No Reply to close it.

Interesting choice - but then 13 is my lucky number so it's nice to have one of their albums with that number of songs on it

Well, it (presumably) stands to reason that if he started getting into songwriting a year or two earlier he'd have had a few more songs to submit from '64-'67. Then he reached his most prolific songwriting period from '68-'70 yet STILL couldn't get more than his standard 1-song-per-album-side.
But this limitation, and the frustration it caused, probably lead to George's songwriting improving. He had so few songs an album he needed to make them perfect, couldn't write a filler song. Abbey Road just shows how he mastered that limitation with two near-perfect songs probably the best on the album.
1 May 2011
Was reading the June 1964 edition of 'The Beatles Book Monthly' and on page 15 it's written "Incidentally, George has had another stab at composing . . . and his song will probably be on the album, though it is not in the film" (you can see it in the image attached). Presumably this would have been 'You'll Know What To Do' and it was rejected more to give Ringo his cut, which never happened due to being taken ill, or just down to not feeling it was ready or good enough yet for a Beatle album.
Am going chronologically thru the books so will be interesting if its picked up on in future editions or is never mentioned again.

Freedom Truck Displays 3D HD Holograms
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Provision Interactive Technologies is a leading developer in 3D Holographic displays. To show off their latest development they have created what they call the "Freedom Truck.†This truck is a customized Ford F150 pickup truck and uses the truck bed to display a high resolution 3D hologram. Because the display is actually a hologram and not just dual images on a screen, the 3D image doesn't require special glasses in order to see. The best part is that the company claims that the process to manufacture these displays is cost effective and simple to use. The F150 has been decorated to commemorate the USA's military services by having scenes of troops and machines airbrushed all over the chassis. The Freedom Truck is currently on display at the SEMA convention, but it will be touring through out the USA.

Swap your black or white lace dress for a cute colourful one, because bright lace is one of this season's hottest trends!
If you've got it, flaunt it! This cute printed cropped tee is the ultimate summer item to wear if you've got washboard abs.
One of our summer must-haves is a pretty printed playsuit. Team it with a pair of sandals if you're off to the beach, or throw on a blazer if you're heading on a night out - love!
Socks and heeled sandals? Yes, please! This trend is far from over, so take note girls.
Don't forget that the silly season is all about having fun with fashion! If you're used to a certain way of dressing, why not mix it up by wearing some bold jewellery (love those earrings) or a cute backpack (if you're used to totes)?
The playsuit really is one of summer's most effortless outfits! A simple black one is ideal, as you can mix it up with loads of different items.
Pretty in prints! We are lucky enough to live in a country filled with beautiful printed fabrics, so take advantage of it by hitting your nearest craft market and pick up some gorgeous printed pieces - they are seriously hot this season!
We love a neon belt that cinches at the waist - it takes this simple blue maxi dress up a (couple of hundred) style notches. Remember girls, it's all in the details!
Love your tee!
Hello Grecian Goddess! Embrace summer style by wearing fabulous flowing dresses in bright colours - we simply love this one with the gold detailing!
Another seriously sexy summer look. Maxi dresses are the perfect items to help you beat the summer heat!
Thought clashing prints was over? Think again! Get clashing girls.
Pop your colour with a pair of bright summer heels! This nautical inspired look is taken up a notch thanks to those cute neon heels.
You don't have to have abs like JLo to pull off a cropped tee, for a perfect summer look just pair it with a high-waisted maxi skirt!
Got a hot pair of legs? Summer is all about showing off your assets, so throw on a cute shift and make the boys go gaga.
Printed tees are making a big comeback! Not sure how to wear them? Give a soft skirt an edge by throwing on an cool tee - we simply love the Henry Holland for Mr Price ones!
Who said you couldn't wear jeans in summer? Throw on a fitted pair with an edgy tee and pair of A-list sunnies to look too cool for school!

Best Uses
Comments about Magic White Ice, 1.7 oz.:
I was bummed that this product was not as wonderful as most of the reviews suggest. All in all, it was a disappointment, particularly for the price.
The pump stopped working shortly after I started using the moisturizer. Since it would no longer dispense, I can't comment on how effective the product actually is. That said, I couldn't get past the fact that it smelled sickly sweet--like a cross between Bazooka bubble gum on the one hand, and a portable toilet that's trying too hard to smell good, on the other hand.

Home › Forums › Off Piste › Photography › Upgrading to dslr, did i make the right choice?
Oct 1, 2012 at 7:49 pm #1294633
I have always brought my Canon s90 on backpacking trips. I wanted more crisp pictures and decided to try a SLR.
I just bought a used Nikon d40 with 18-55mm lens for 250 dollars. I chose it because it was cheap and small. Has anyone used both cameras, how do they compare? I mostly shoot landscapes and sometimes star shots. My favorite place to shoot is in the sierra. I know the d40 doesn't have the best high iso quality, do you think it will be better than my s90?
KevinOct 2, 2012 at 4:37 pm #1917625The d40 might just be your "gateway drug" to nicer Nikon bodies, and you did fine. The D40 is light, has pretty good battery management and the kit lens you got with it is also light and good. That's not a low-light/high ISO setup you have there, but it's got better metering and a much faster focus engine than your pocket camera does.
Get out there with it!
Oct 2, 2012 at 9:23 pm #1917699Cool. After I buying it, I felt worried about it being an older model. I'm excited to get some shots with it.
Oct 2, 2012 at 9:27 pm #1917701I still shoot with my first dslr. It's the d80 so it's heavier and older if a bit higher positioned in the line up.
You get a lot of nice options with that camera. And a good price so you can find out if dslr is for you.
Oct 3, 2012 at 11:00 am #1917809I shoot with a lot of different bodies, however I constantly find myself resorting back to my D40 for shooting as my "go to" body. Although Nikon refers to it as their "Amateur" body, when I compare it to my D200, D7000, etc. it's hard to tell unless I'm blowing it up for print. Screen savers, print material < 24" tall, Facebook (although I never post anything on facebook in spite of how bad it compresses the photo) it's perfect.
If I were to recommend a camera to someone wanting to learn how to shoot and get away from the "Auto" function, no doubt it would be the D40. Also the other plus side is you paid very little for a great body, and still hve left over cash for some great glass to shoot with!Oct 4, 2012 at 5:48 pm #1918269D40 is fine. It'll make very good photos at lower ISOs, and much better high ISO photos than a p+s camera. You'll have a lot more control over your photos, too, which is great if you want to do that. You might want to get an extra battery and a circular polarizer for the lens. Also, you may find some use for a small tripod — I often wish I had one after the sun has gone down in the mountains. Even just the Gorillapod DSLR can be useful, and it's light.
And if it gets trashed falling down a cliff, it was only $250….. :)
Oct 6, 2012 at 3:31 am #1918605Now that you have a lens that you can screw it onto, get a polarizer filter.
This will be $40 to $90.
And make sure it is multicoated or you will get strange colors.
When you take pictures, rotate the filter so that the sky is the darkest before taking your shot.
for an example of why you want a polarizer:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/victorvonsalza/2387551911/I keep one on the lens when I am outside and the sun is up. It makes (almost) all of the pictures look better.
I love the shot that you included in your post.
Another fun thing to do is to get some neutral density filters, There are some 9 stop filters that appear black. Then when you take pictures of fields of grass, or of moving water, everything seems to flow, and is smooth. You can get pictures in the 2 minute range that are magical.
amazon link: about $50 http://www.amazon.com/Hoya-Neutral-Density-ND-400-Multi-Coated/dp/B001197322/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pdT1_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=22FWH9DPO1EIT&coliid=I1ZCHR27FTYIGV

Gamebryo 2.5 was released on June 4, 2008 and subsequently replaced with version 2.6 on November 12, 2008. The current version is included in Gamebryo Lightspeed, a developmental package which bundles a variety of middleware tools along with the engine, released April 2, 2009.Gamebryo was first developed by Numerical Design Limited. Numerical Design later merged with Emergent Game Technologies in August of 2005. Emergent is not itself a game developer; as the Gamebryo Engine's developer, it licenses the engine code to development houses.Use in GamesGamebryo has very widespread use in the industry, especially for developing cross-platform titles. Prominent developers that frequently use or have used the engine include Rockstar (Bully), Bethesda (Oblivion, the Fallout 3 games), Firaxis (Civilization Revolution) and Mythic (Warhammer Online). The engine has also been licensed for use by Square Enix on an unannounced title. On top of that, the engine has been used every major genre of games: 3D action games (Splatterhouse), large-scale RPGs (Divinity II), tactical games (the Freedom Force franchise), platformers (Epic Mickey), racing games (Speed Racer), even adaptations of board games (Axis & Allies).However, the Gamebryo Engine has often been criticized for being riddled with bugs. Of particular note in this regard are large-scale open world titles like Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fallout 3 and Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout: New Vegas.TechnologyThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion uses the Gamebryo engineGamebryo 2.5 runs in DirectX 9 and 10 (DirectX 11 support is slated for the next release) on the PC and on all the current major platforms. It consists of a suite of middleware, as well as providing built-in support for a range of other such tools, like Nvidia PhysX 2.8.1 and SpeedTree 5.2. Recent iterations of Gamebryo have concentrated on adding more functionality on top of the basic engine: Gamebryo Lightspeed, for instance, includes tools to help quicken development, like rapid prototyping, rapid iteration and the ability to display changes to the game world in real time. The engine can be licensed either as a set of binaries, or with its full source code.Gamebryo is coded in C , with object-oriented design, plug-in architecture, and a save/load system. It is designed to make seamless use of 3dsmax or Recent additions include systems to make better use of multi-processor systems across different platforms (PC, Xbox 360 and PS3), and a suite of tools to allow terrain and other assets to be created independently of the engine code. The engine's developers aim to provide as flexible a development kit as possible, and to that end they have included a system whereby new functionality can be added to the engine without having to modify its source code.FeaturesHigh-end texturing and rendering effectsFlexible rendering, sorting and culling methodsCross-platform support for 3D acceleration and multi-core architecture.Integration with major 3D modeling tools including 3ds Max, Maya and Softimage|XSI.Powerful art tool chain integrationHierarchical scene graph representationEfficient visible object cullingDynamic collision detectionParticle systems and customizable shaders for vertex colors, material, alpha transparency, textures and moreSupport for 3D audioMiddleware IntegrationsNvidia PhysX and APEX,Scaleform GFx,Wwise,Speedtree,Illuminate Labs,NaturalMotion,Lightsprint,Aristen,Umbra,xaitment,memoraze,Allegorithmic,RAD.

Fatigue on OxandroloneAug 14, 2013 Hi Nelson. Tried Oxandrolone at 20mg per day then dropped down to 10mg per day for about six weeks. experiencing extreme fatigue. This a supposed side effect of oxandrolone. Very disappointed. Very little lean body mass gain also. I tried to replicate the 1999 study were 100mg of test and 20mg of oxandrolone for 8 weeks resulted in 17lb increase in weight. Concerned about the fatigue. Any ideas? Bill |
Response from Mr. VergelIf you are taking it with 100-200 mg per week of testosterone, your T levels should be OK. Oxandrolone wipes out your testosterone. Like any androgen, it can also increase sleep apnea. But out of all androgens it is the one with the least water retention (which can cause fatigue in some patients) Have your doctor check your testosterone blood levels and do not forget to watch your liver enzymes and HDL cholesterol since both can be affected by this lean tissue gaining oral drug.

Russia is sending armed troops to Syria amid escalating violence there, United States military officials told NBC News Friday, in a move certain to frustrate Western efforts to put pressure on the regime of President Bashir Assad.
(Excerpt) Read more at worldnews.msnbc.msn.com ...
Our Russian allies. As trustworthy as Pakistan or Saudi Arabia.
"Russia is sending armed troops to Syria" because only a dumbass would send UNARMED troops. Geez, I hate the media.
Muslims killing Muslims killing Russians????
Where's the downside?
"Our Russian allies."
We do not have a treaty alliance with Russia so they are not our allies.
Putin has beaten Barack Hussein Kardashian to the punch. The punk with the prompter now CANNOT send troops to Syria without tangling with the Russians, and we KNOW the punk doesn't have the BALLS to do that.
The ENTIRE Middle East policy of this jerkwad is a disaster. He is a friend to NO ONE in that region, and has done untold damage to our reputation as an ally.
Iran and Syria have been able to count on Russia as an ally.
Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan and Israel have seen America (really, Obamugabe) as an UNRELIABLE ally.
Decades will be taken to repair the damage done by the punk in this region...globally, too. Consider: if Obamugabe so quickly threw our allies in these nations under the bus, why would ANYONE trust us for ANYTHING? He is a diplomatic septic tank.
Is this big? This seems big to me. Russian involvement seems big. I have a brother in Syria. I have to go take a shower.
We should send in Orville Redenbacher armed with popcorn. He'd be pretty busy with our allies!
Just in case anyone missed it, this is exactly the type of military adventurism that creeps up when you cut your own forces too much.
We can attribute this directly to Barack Obama's failure as president, and the Republicans who let him get away with gutting our military.
We're going to war, and I'm not talking about nations that don't have nukes here.
The average U. S. Citizen doesn't have a clue.
Exactly. Spengler's recent column noted that this was a proxy war between Shia Islam and Sunni Islam. We want both sides to win. Any Russians are a bonus.
Arab Spring -> Arab Winter -> Cold War Redux -> ?
Remember when the Ruskies got to some important airport in former Yugoslavia first and General Weasel Clarke wanted to use force to kick them out until a British commander told Weasel that he would not allow him to start World War III.
Pristina Airport redux. Only thing missing is General Wesley Clark...
Good for the Russians. The Alawites in Syria protects the Christians. If the Alawites are overthrown, it'll be open season on Christians in Syria.....
MSNBC certainly isnt talking about Hillay's "Reset Button" with Russia much anymore.
My, it sure was easier to criticize Bush when the Left wasnt in power...
Who do we want to come out ahead in this battle?
The Almighty is about to press His reset button and than the SHTF for the false messiah and his minions.
Gee whats very close to Syria. Sounds almost biblical
Russia may actually protect the Christians there.
Gog, meet Magog.
Kind of funny. Putin isn't a Christian? After all, he was a kGB Agent.
Looks like the Russians thought they were being over charged for that reset button.
Unfortunately, the overthrow of the Alawites with a government support by Saudi Arabia is in the best interest of the United State. It cuts Iran Shia Crescent in half and could ultimately lead to the overthrow of the Mullahs in Iran (assuming Obama is not the president and blows it again).
The problem is the US does not call in its blood and money spent in the Middle East an insist that Christians are protected.
Good for the Russians. Syria is now, officially off limits to any American expeditionary force assembled by Barack Hussein Obama and John McCain.
We'll save countless lives-American lives
LOL ! Report is also here:
What will our usurper president do now _____ ? Send in U.S. troops by illegal executive order, probably.
Or surely to call on demonic powers to aid him and possibly to prostrate himself before a huge statue dedicated to the Satanic deity known as Molech . . .
Will Obama to go to Bohemian Grove himself or just send one of his appointed minions to represent the government ___ ?
This is like the late 70s and 1980 all over again. A lousy economy led by an incompetent president, high oil prices, the Soviets invading some muslim country, our Armed Forces being dismantled and demoralized, bad music on the radio...
Muslims killing Christians (who are unfortunately 'allied' with Assad). Russians indiscriminately killing everyone.
I'm supporting the Christians which means rooting for the Russians, Syrians (Alawites) and even the Iranians over Saudi Arabia and the Muslim Brotherhood.
The best thing we can do is order up plenty of popcorn and sit on the sidelines. If I was president I'd call Putin and encourage him.
Allies? Sense when? Russia is no one's friend. BUT we are trapped in a classic Chess move—The Fork—Putin is a master Chess player. If we move on Russians in Syria, he will close our land route to Afghanistan leaving our guys trapped with no supplies. Pakistan will not let fuel or ammunition come in. This was well thought out plan to pull Syria into the New Russian Empire—These guys will put an end to the Civil War with a brutal crackdown. They start with a port—end with the whole nation. To stave this off Obama will have to get clever—and he has no "clever" to use. Now Hillary might have something up her sleeve—Use french troops??? She is as clever as a snake and just as poisonous. I don't think this will end well for the USA.
That was my point.
Putin is a bigtime Christian—or at least he says so and goes to Church and holds the candle. Whats in his heart? Only God know that. The question is what sort of Christian is he? His Russia is building and restoring churches—I think for political reasons at home he may well protect Christians in Syria. Remember the 3rd Rome legend that Russia will bring Europe and the world to Christ—if they want it or not.
Here is an archive photo:
Perhaps this information was intentionally released to create uncertainty. At the cost of one free news item the whole Syria is now off limits to Obama.
This reminds me of the Balkans, Libya, Egypt—all the atrocity stories the press highlighted to get us into a war. Like Afghanistan, Russia's going to find it's a lot easier to go to Syria than it will be to leave Syria.
Secretary Clinton is in her office, hitting the "Reset" button like crazy.
Yep it will happen, sooner rather than later with liberals in charge.
One of many ignored reasons why we can't afford to stop working while we give them everything. We need to work to save all our lives.
I agree.
It's fashionable . . . considered even erudite and PC by even conservatives normally hostile to PC . .
to be dismissive to fiercely hostile and derisive about
demonic spiritual forces . . .
particularly as acting through globalist political elite stooges of satan.
People who talk about THE TRUTH as The Bible warned so clearly about in the END TIMES ERA . . . are even considered by some to be kooks, ignorant, insane, etc.
I wonder what they'll tell themselves when the new gestapo shows up at their doors.
That's a great question!
We gonna support the radical Muslim Brotherhood or a nasty arab dictator... It is hard to believe anyone calls what Obama has done in the Middle East an American foreign policy. He's leading us into a world war.
Putin caught Bush off guard when Bush made the assumption he was harmless and Bam has mistaken Putin for a friendly fellow travelor from the KGB. America is Putin enemy.
The US certainly did not help the Christians in Egypt or any other country that was supporting "Arab Spring." Helping the Muslim Brotherhood seems to be more important to this current administration.
Post perfection.
Us getting drawn in this summer.
He also cannot bomb Syria, or do Predator strikes, without risking hitting a Russian, which is probably why Putin sent them.
You think Clinton would have bombed the Serbs if there had been Russian advisers there?
Barry is simply extending the Mideast damage from the Carter administration into warp drive.
It will be an islamic caliphate by the time this moron is through.

looking for a layout
I'm currently making a tower defence game. Visually, this is going to be a "playingfield" where all the action happens and some buttons and textfields etc. below that to give the player some extra options. I'm curently developing the "editor mode" first because it is simpler because it hasn't got moving monsters and shooting tower. Also the game class itself will take in a whole level from the editor (or memory).
Currently, the editor class makes a 2d-array filled with squares and sends them their location in the grid and their size. Based on that, the squares (a seperate class) calculate which pixels they need to change color and draw a square there. This worked perfectly untill I needed a reset button. Using the borderlayout I added it to south, but it looked bad. So now my question is, can anyone suggest a good layout or help me find a good layout?

Or, if you want the Reset button at the bottom, add it to a JPanel which has its default FlowLayout, then add that panel to the frame's SOUTH.

Boondoggle. Travesty. Debacle. These words come to mind when reliving yesterday's Steeler loss to the Browns – not because Cleveland did not deserve the win, but because Pittsburgh took every opportunity, and chose to shoot themselves in the collective foot again and again and…well, you get the point.
As any casual football fan knows, turnovers often spell the difference between winning and losing. Then, there are games like yesterday's Steelers / Browns game that make you shake your head and wonder how it was so close. Shockingly, the Steelers never faced a deficit of more than six points. When the final whistle was blown, the Browns had upset their rivals 20-14. This lackluster performance reminded me of the 2009 Thursday night game in Cleveland, which allowed the Steelers to continue a five-game skid, and ultimately miss the playoffs.
Eight turnovers is unacceptable for peewee football, let alone in the NFL. Pittsburgh has that dubious distinction of giving the ball away EIGHT TIMES to the Browns! Give Cleveland credit – they were certainly taking their swipes at Steelers ballcarriers to dislodge the pigskin. 8 forced fumbles, 5 fumbles lost, and 3 interceptions is not a way to win a football game. Coach Mike Tomlin made that abundantly clear during his postgame press conference.
Usually, I break down a game into game-changing sequences along with winners and losers. Well…for game-changing sequences, how about all eight nauseating turnovers? Each turnover sank Pittsburgh further into an abyss from which they could not recover. Each young man that calls himself a Steeler halfback – Rashard Mendenhall, Isaac Redman, Jonathan Dwyer, and Chris Rainey – lost a fumble. Charlie Batch threw three interceptions in relief of the top two quarterbacks, Ben Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich. The running game accounted for less than 50 yards, while Batch threw for under 200 yards. The defense somehow managed to hold the Browns to 20 points, despite being put in untenable positions all day long thanks to the onslaught of turnovers. There were no winners today…just a whole slew of losing football. And, here's the cherry on top of the sundae – Pittsburgh (6-5) visits Baltimore (9-2) next week, and may still be without Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, and Troy Polamalu.
What looked to be a relatively easy final four games all of a sudden appears to be a challenge that could well doom the Steelers' playoff hopes. After their toughest road test of the season in Baltimore, Pittsburgh hosts San Diego (4-7), travels to Dallas (5-6), before returning home to face Cincinnati (6-5) and Cleveland (3-8). A 9-7 record may be good enough to get into the playoffs for the lesser conference that is the AFC. However, if anyone thinks that the Steelers will beat the likes of New England, Baltimore, Houston, or Denver playing this brand of football, then they are sorely mistaken.

This report describes the typical weather at the Spirit of St. Louis Airport (St. Louis, Missouri, United States) weather station over the course of an average September. It is based on the historical records from 1987 to 2012. Earlier records are either unavailable or unreliable.
St. Louis, Missouri has a humid continental climate with hot summers and no dry season. The area within 25 mi of this station is covered by forests (46%), croplands (19%), grasslands (18%), built-up areas (14%), and lakes and rivers (4%).
The month of September is characterized by rapidly falling daily high temperatures, with daily highs decreasing from 85°F to 74°F over the course of the month, exceeding 93°F or dropping below 63°F only one day in ten.
Over the course of September, the length of the day is decreasing. From the start to the end of the month, the length of the day decreases by 1:12 hours, implying an average day-over-day decrease of 2.4 minutes.
The shortest day of the month is September 30 with 11:48 hours of daylight; the longest day is September 1 with 12:60 hours of daylight.
The earliest sunrise is at 6:32am on September 1; the latest sunset is at 7:32pm on September 1; the latest sunrise is at 6:58am on September 30; the earliest sunset is at 6:46pm on September 30.
Daylight savings time is observed in 2012 but it neither starts nor ends in September, so the entire month is in daylight time.
The median cloud cover is 30% (mostly clear) and does not vary substantially over the course of the month.
On September 15, a representative day, the sky is clear or mostly clear 55% of the time, partly cloudy 11% of the time, and mostly cloudy or overcast 31% of the time.
The average probability that some form of precipitation will be observed in a given day is 35%, with little variation over the course of the month.
Throughout September, the most common forms of precipitation are thunderstorms, light rain, and moderate rain.
Thunderstorms are the most severe precipitation observed during 46% of those days with precipitation. They are most likely around September 1, when it is observed during 20% of all days.
Light rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 31% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around September 28, when it is observed during 12% of all days.
Moderate rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 15% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around September 30, when it is observed during 6% of all days.
Either snow is exceptionally unlikely to fall at this location in September or this station does not reliably report precipitation types.
The relative humidity typically ranges from 44% (comfortable) to 95% (very humid) over the course of a typical September, rarely dropping below 28% (dry) and reaching as high as 100% (very humid).
The air is driest around September 30, at which time the relative humidity drops below 53% (mildly humid) three days out of four; it is most humid around September 5, rising above 93% (very humid) three days out of four.
Dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find the weather than relative humidity because it more directly relates to whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid.
Over the course of a typical September, the dew point typically varies from 45°F (dry) to 68°F (muggy) and is rarely below 34°F (dry) or above 74°F (very muggy).
The time of the month between September 9 and September 30 is the most comfortable, with dew points that are neither too dry nor too muggy.
Over the course of September typical wind speeds vary from 0 mph to 13 mph (calm to moderate breeze), rarely exceeding 19 mph (fresh breeze).
The highest average wind speed of 6 mph (light breeze) occurs around September 29, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 13 mph (moderate breeze).
