What with the recent release of Apple TV Take 2, iTunes rentals on both the device and the computer seem to be much more popular among the nerdfolk. Apple has responded to that demand today by introducing 99¢ rentals once a week, similar to its iTunes single of the week (except, you know, not free. But close!).
The weekly 99¢ rental will be available every Thursday, and the special pricing will run through the following Monday before going back to its previous price of a few dollars. Once you rent it, though, you have the same 30-day period as any other rented movie to watch it. As MacRumors points out, this week's rental is The Hours, which I shamelessly admit that I am going to rent right this second. What can I say—I'm a sucker for a good deal.
Apple also released a minor update to iTunes this afternoon, bringing the software up to version 7.6.1. The company says in its Software Update description that the update includes several bugfixes, and smooths things over a bit more with the Apple TV's new software. Grab it on Software Update, of course, unless you're the paranoid type who likes to see other people
lose their entire music collections test it out before you do. Ahem.

Pop princess Britney Spears announced during her show at The Axis at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas that she has signed a new deal to extend her residency. According to a release, she told the crowd, "I have some big news tonight… I am going to be in Vegas for two more years!" Dates will now run through December 2017.
Spears, 33, told E! exclusively on Wednesday how excited she is about continuing "Britney: Piece of Me."
"I'm not ready to leave Vegas yet! And I just really really love this show and this city," she said. "I'm so proud of the show, and my band, my dancers and my crew have all become such a family to me. When it came down to me really having to make this decision, I just couldn't imagine ending my residency at the end of this year."
U.S. & World

And even if you've seen the show already, be prepared to book another trip to Sin City because Spears has some new ideas in the works. "I definitely have some major changes planned. I'm getting together with my team this week to go over the set list, design some new costumes and dream up new props," she said. "There are a few songs that are fan favorites that I really want to add to the show. It's very exciting! If you haven't seen the current show yet, you should come out before the end of the year."
Planet Hollywood offered her a new deal at the end of July, but on Aug. 16 Spears told E! that she hadn't yet made a final decision.
"I'm not really sure," Spears said at the Teen Choice Awards. "I haven't made up my mind. I really love doing the show. It's a lot, a lot of fun, but I'm kind of torn right now. I don't really know what I want to do."
Spears celebrated her 100th show last month. Tickets for performances from January through April 2016 will go on sale Sept. 14.
Tune into E! News tomorrow night at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. to find out what she said about releasing some new music.

This listing is for ONE Box, 25 rounds; winning buyer, however, may take any number of additional boxes at the same per-box price and no extra shipping. Do the math, too; compare the big name 5 packs of Slugs at $1.00 or more per shell with these at 50 cents a round. Many folk miscalculate by not taking the .410 gauge seriously. More than all others, O.F. Mossberg company gave the small gauge some respect when it introduced the .410 Cruiser two decades ago. More recently, Mossberg has effectively marketed its 500 Home Defense series in .410 gauge. And our customers throughout the country, who have fallen in love with our little Norinco .410 Coach Guns respect it and rely on it. Our immediate Delta neighbors in the Hatchie and Wolf River basins have used the Snake Charmer, Snake Tamer, and Rossi's Snake Tuffy single shots to good effect for both protection and hunting. Many of us began deer hunting with a .410 single shot with one of these loads in its chamber. Photos show specimen boxes from a limited special law enforcement run of Nobel Sports' NS412S Rifled Slug Shotshell loads. These shells come in 25 round boxes. They are brass base plastic loads, 2 1/2 inch filled with a 1/5 ounce, approx. 95 grain, lead Rifled Slug. Muzzle velocity from a 25 inch barrel is 1200 feet per second. The factory does not publish muzzle energy, but it is somewhere in the 250 foot-pound vicinity, quite respectable. Taurus Judge owners should expect less, of course, and these shells show pronounced difficulty in extraction with the Judges; a person needs to plan on giving their revolver extractors some help with these, and not expect to reload quickly. In our local Mossberg .410s and Single Shots, they perform flawlessly. We're offering them by the 25 round boxes, each for only $ 12.50. A six box lot of 150 rounds, for instance, will total $87.00 freight paid lower 48; better, buy the 10 box, 250 round factory case, total delivered price only $ 137.00 lower 48.

Will Pundits Kill Windows Phone 8?
Windows Phone 8 is only doomed if we say it is. I've been losing patience with the growing meme among pundits that Microsoft's new Windows Phone 8 is a brave try, but not worth recommending because it doesn't have the most popular apps from other platforms.
Yes, that's true, right now. But it may not be true in six months. And those same pundits actually have a lot of control over whether or not it will be true.
App momentum is all about perception and zeitgeist. It's either a positive or negative feedback loop. Microsoft can prime the pump a bit, and it's doing so. If carriers want to absolutely shove a platform at users (as Verizon did with Android), that will also aid adoption. But in general, as long as the platform's SDK is acceptable (which it is), developers will write for a platform if they feel the users are there, and users will come if the developers are there.
That gives pundits an unusual amount of power, because they have some control over perception. If developers and users see everywhere that Windows Phone is up and coming, they'll give it a try - and it'll be up and coming. But if they hear that it's a damp squib because of a lack of apps, they'll stay away, maintaining the lack of apps.
Not Everyone Uses iOS
I've been seeing the "doomed" meme come up recently in the work of influential writers I respect, like David Pogue of the New York Times (unlinkable because of the NYT paywall), Chris Ziegler of the Verge and Todd Hasleton of TechnoBuffalo. They try to couch their words in conditional terms, but their columns all read to me like early obituaries. The underlying tone is that "Windows Phone doesn't have every iPhone game I love right now, so it's worthless."
Against that I'll hold Noah Kravitz's column, "The Windows Phone Problem," which goes more negative on desktop Windows 8 than I prefer, but at least acknowledges that Windows Phone is a solid offering with a fighting chance.
One thing I've noticed is that a lot of these guys tend to be iOS guys, at least to tell from their repeated references to some game called Letterpress. I have a whole half-column written in my head about how sick I am of hearing about this Letterpress thing, which seems to have become some sort of Twitter shibboleth for being a hipster iOS user. But not everyone uses iOS, and not everyone is surrounded by people who use iOS. iOS is vastly overrepresented among geeks and pundits, I suspect. Most Americans aren't suffering from an iOS network effect. Windows Phone doesn't have Letterpress, but it has enough apps to amuse, and if it gets more momentum, other apps will come.
In a nation where only half of the people have smartphones, there's still room for Windows Phone. But it will only survive if people believe there's room for Windows Phone, and that's where the pundits are key.
Why We Need Windows Phone
Everyone who loves competition and innovation should be invested in Windows Phone's success, because otherwise we're stuck with a duopoly. (Sorry, RIM.) Duopolies tend to be boring, stable, and pretty good at repelling new entrants. Take the desktop OS market. Divided between Windows and OS X, it was stable for a decade with no radical advances until just this year, when the threat coming from iOS and Android prompted Microsoft to radically innovate with Windows 8.
Duopoly also hasn't served the U.S. home Internet market well. With most Americans stuck choosing between sleepy, conservative DSL and cable providers, they've seen prices head steadily up over the years with no major improvements in service.
Maybe duopoly is inevitable, but I'm sure as heck going to fight it, because competition means all the choices become better.
Windows Phone is Not WebOS
Pundits are probably all a little burned from the failure of Palm's WebOS, a critical darling (and still a cult fave) that completely flamed out. But the punditocracy can't save a company that does everything wrong. Palm mismanaged partner relationships by first picking Sprint as its sole launch carrier, then alienating Sprint so the carrier was less than enthusiastic. It had one of the worst TV ad campaigns in history, it delayed phone releases, and then put them out in the wrong order (the Veer before the Pre 3?) and finally sold itself off to HP, a company which then replaced its CEO with a guy who hated consumer hardware products.
That's not Microsoft's story at all. The company made some missteps with Windows Phone 7, but the very fact that it made it to Windows Phone 8 shows that Microsoft is wealthy, patient, and committed to mobile. None of those three things could be said of Leo Apotheker's HP. Microsoft now has multiple carrier partners, high-quality phones, a solid SDK and ties to a major desktop OS. The pieces are all there. All it needs is the zeitgeist.
Windows Phone isn't BlackBerry, either. RIM waited until much later to acknowledge that it needed a new OS approach, missed the 2012 holiday season, and most importantly doesn't have synergy with any other large, successful product ecosystems. Without a desktop OS like Microsoft and Apple have, or super-popular Web services like Google, RIM is a pure mobile play and thus more vulnerable when it makes missteps with its mobile platform.
Windows Phone has a lot going for it. For people who like Xbox, for people who use Microsoft office software, for people whose friends don't all have iPhones or even just for people who like the cool interface of live tiles. Before we bury it, let's give the darn thing a chance.

Did you know that reindeer leather is beautifully soft and delicate and is used just in the same way as cow and lamb leather, well, I have to admit the thought never really crossed my mind before I saw the fall collection from the Finnish designer Heikki Salonen during London Fashion Week.
His collection featured some really nice leather pieces, among them a dress, pants and top and unisex boots and I like the idea that use of reindeer leather fulfill the criterias of ethical and sustainable fashion which I give high scores to, feels so modern in a way.
Unfortunately my camera was on streik that day so here's all the images I've got but you can see the lookbook video below.

Wedding day:
Oct. 20, 2012
Her story:
Devin Robinson, 24, grew up in Baltimore. She is an auditor for Ellin & Tucker, a public accounting and business-consulting firm. Her father, Dwayne Robinson, works in sales for Verizon, and her mother, Bobbie Robinson, is an underwriter for Blue Cross & Blue Shield.
His story:
Joey Rumph Jr., 27, grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He is a technical recruiter. His mother, Sherri Coval, is a homemaker and his father, Tony Rumph, is a police officer in Boca Raton, Fla.
Their story:
Devin and Joey met at Jacksonville University in Jacksonville, Fla., when Devin was a freshman and Joey was a junior. Devin was on the track and field team, and Joey was a linebacker for the football team.
"Actually, the first time we met was outside of the training room, where athletes go for injuries," says Devin. "He was flirting with me and asked to take me to Red Lobster that night."
But sparks didn't immediately fly, and the two didn't start dating until Devin's sophomore year. Eventually, Joey decided to make things official when he proposed to Devin on Mother's Day last year.
Joey proposed to Devin inside the Zales at Tyson's Corner in McLean, Va., with a pear-shaped diamond solitaire on a white gold band.
"The saleslady asked if I'd like to take a seat, and I said, 'No, I'd like to take a knee,' " says Joey.
The place:
About 150 guests attended the ceremony at Morning Star Baptist Church, the bride's home church, in Catonsville. Bishop Dwayne C. Debnam officiated the ceremony.
"The ceremony was definitely my favorite part," says Devin. "I really felt a lot of the things the pastor was saying. Just walking down the aisle is a feeling I could never describe."
Her dress:
Devin and her mother traveled to Frank Bernard Ltd. in Wilmington, Del., to find her wedding gown — a strapless mermaid-style gown with flowers on the bottom by Jasmine Couture.
"I fell in love with it, and that was that," says Devin.
Bridesmaids' dresses:
The bridesmaids wore strapless burnt-orange mermaid dresses from Frank Bernard Ltd.
"I really loved them because I liked how they mimicked my dress," says Devin. "I love the mermaid style."
Men's apparel:
Joey and his groomsmen wore traditional black Calvin Klein tuxedos from Men's Wearhouse. The groomsmen wore burnt orange vests and ties to match the bridesmaids, while Joey wore an ivory vest and tie to match the color of his bride's dress.
The reception:
The bride and groom hosted their reception at the "Top of the World" observation deck of the World Trade Center in the Inner Harbor.
"We both really wanted a place with a really nice view and a lot of windows," explains Devin. "Once we saw that one, it was perfect."
Ms. Desserts in Baltimore supplied the wedding cake, which was three-tiered with red velvet and strawberry mousse yellow cake with strawberry filling and buttercream frosting.
The couple chose DJ Kermit, a friend of the family, to entertain the crowd. During the father-daughter dance, while dancing to "Your Joy" by Chrisette Michele, Devin surprised her father with a slideshow of some of their fondest memories.
"I just liked the fact that we had all of our friends and family in one place on one dance floor," says Joey. "I enjoyed celebrating the night with them."

Press Coverage
Freeside Hackerspace is a 5,500 square foot facility that feels like it just goes on and on...If you have a project in mind, they've got the space and tools to make it happen.
...it's a place where people passionate about science, technology, and digital projects can meet, collaborate and hang out. It can be an open community lab, a machine shop, a work shop, a studio or a combination of these where people can share resources and knowledge to build neat stuff.
'You don't just have to hack computers,' says interim President James Sheheane. 'You can hack metal, you can hack wood.'
'That speaks to what we're all about,' Storey says. 'Making cool stuff out of nothing.'

Release Candidate for KDE 4.3.0 Out
Today, three days before the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit starts, the KDE team released KDE 4.3.0 RC1. RC1 is an early candidate for what will become KDE 4.3.0 at the end of this month.
Missing duel head support
As far as I know there is still no duelhead support (2 desktop on 2 screens) in kde 4 and therefore not good enough for me. I have tried with 1 desktop on 2 screens but I did not feel right.
But I hope the rest of you enjoued the new kde while the rest of os is stuck with kde 3.5.
I am looking forward to joining you

@beer: I'm not sure what you exactly mean, but just yesterday I was able to do something like I think you want. I hooked up an external monitor to my laptop and set it up with nvidia config tool and it let me use it as "twinview" which let the monitor become another desktop/activity. At least to me, it seems you can set up another desktop/activity.
By eyecreate at Wed, 2009/07/01 - 1:04pm
If that is true I will use
If that is true I will use kde 4.3 as soon as it is ind debian unstable. Last time I tried it (kde 4.2.4 one of the screen was permanently black). I really hope it has been fixed
By beer at Wed, 2009/07/01 - 5:06pm
Hey, I'd like that too, but
Hey, I'd like that too, but you don't hear me constantly whinging about it. It's a very small minority who want that set-up, and none of the plasma devs use it, they all have Xinerama set-ups which plasma does support very nicely (yay, multiple sys-trays!). As Aaron has explained several times, if someone with that set-up wants to work with the plasma devs to make it happen, they could try work something out, the architecture is there.
Really, the whingers are having to find more and more obscure corner cases why not to adopt KDE4.
By odysseus at Wed, 2009/07/01 - 3:01pm
I tried to look into the code
I tried to look into the code where the changes should be made. The little I know of C++ is not enough to get it fixed. So I can only tell the plasma devs that I am still here and I hope that they will fix it sooner rather than later.
I have a few problem with Xinerama itself eks if I start a program on screen 2 sometimes it pups op at screen 1 and the other way around. And a lot of of open source games does not work well with Xinerama. Have you tried to play glob 2 or widelands in full screen? Those games then tries to fill the whole desktop (both screens). And the only way to make sure that they only cover one screen is to only have one desktop on one screen. The last problem with the Xinerama is my screens have different highs witch then make some of the desktop will not be visible
By beer at Thu, 2009/07/02 - 4:31am
About your problems with
About your problems with Xinerama:
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768-1024x768 1024x768 800x600 640x480"
This way SDL can find resolutions for a single monitor, and it will work correctly.
* I have 2 monitors of different heights too... and that's absolutely not a problem.
Oh, and it's not that the devs do not care about the users. But with limited resource (the amount of developers), you'll have to prioritize. Obsure configurations like having a X session for each screen simply get's a lower priority.
By pinda at Fri, 2009/07/03 - 9:17am
I can understand that the
I can understand that the devs have limits amout of time since they often tend to work with open source in there spare time. But the problem has been know around 1 1/2- 2 year by now. Just like the famous root/admin button in system settings. Somethings just take a bid longer before it is ready. It is like food. Good food takes long time to make.
Kde 3.5 was released back in november 2005 and it is so old that it is in debian Old stable. I am looking forward to kde 4 will be ready. And hwn it is it will rock hard

Was that necessary?
By majewsky at Thu, 2009/07/02 - 9:24pm
This corner cases was
This corner cases was reported as a problem back in the kde 4.0 beta fhase as a problem for some users so I do not think it is obscure. Just becouse you do not need it other people do.
For me it is a killer function that I cannot live without. Becouse if this issuse I am beginning of looking for some other DE that suits my need but so far I have not found anything as good as old kde 3.5 (or kde 4 with dual head support).
It will be an interresting day when debian stops with support kde 3.5 and if this issue is not resolved
By beer at Thu, 2009/07/02 - 10:04pm
Did you read my comment at all?
All I said is that I'm uncomfortable with people flaming on those who have problems with missing features in KDE 4.
By majewsky at Sat, 2009/07/04 - 9:47am
"Really, the whingers are
"Really, the whingers are having to find more and more obscure corner cases why not to adopt KDE4."
Yeah, like being able to print odd/even pages or getting correct results when evaluating simple mathematical expressions in krunner mini-commandline.
By odalman at Sun, 2009/07/05 - 11:28am
Isn't that supposed to be dual and not duel?
Anyway I would just like to say congrats to the no.1 desktop team in the world. Guys you are fast, innovative and doing a supurb job. keep it up.
I have something to complain about nonetheless, even at this stage it's still not possible to configure KDM. This bug is there since KDE 4.0 and continue to move from version to version without anything being done to get rid of it AFAIK. Don't get me wrong, I am really impressed by KDE 4.3 but I think that this is a bit annoying and sad at the same time. When are we going to be able to get back this feature?
By Bobby at Wed, 2009/07/01 - 3:51pm
Re: KDM
> it's still not possible to configure KDM
What is missing for you? I can open the KDM control module from System Settings, and everything seems to work fine (though I only used design selection and the "Hide the user list" setting up to now).
By majewsky at Wed, 2009/07/01 - 9:46pm
No Administrator mode possible
Everything is missing! I can't change the default picture, i cant't change the theme, the font, I can't configure anything at all. Are you sure that you are using the RC or KDE 4.2.4 with the openSuse hack? The openSuse hack gives you a pop-up dialogue so you can enter you root password and configure KDM according to your taste but this is not possible if you are using "strait" KDE 4 packages and it's also missing in KDE 4.3.
By Bobby at Thu, 2009/07/02 - 6:02am
4.4 material
Now that PolicyKit has been integrated with KDE, such a thing can be implemented. That would be 4.4 material. though.
By Luca Beltrame at Thu, 2009/07/02 - 7:48am
Or 5.0 material ;) I would
Or 5.0 material ;) I would really love to see this feature working properly in KDE 4 but I don't want to put the devs under pressure and since I can't code and don't know how difficult this implemation is then I will continue to wait and hope that it will be ready for prime time by the time openSuse 11.2 is released.
By Bobby at Thu, 2009/07/02 - 5:51pm
If it's about missing root privileges...
then "kdesu kcmshell4 kdm" should do the trick for you, until 4.4 brings proper PolicyKit integration with System Settings.
By majewsky at Thu, 2009/07/02 - 9:25pm
I will just notice people
I will just notice people that it has now been fixed in 4.4 and the fix will maybe be in 4.3.2

Was Korganizer ported to Akonadi? Can it now easily sync with the Google Calendar? If so, Is there a nice plasmoid for administering the calendars (kind of like Lion Mail for Mail)?
By Raúl Gómez Muñoz at Wed, 2009/07/01 - 4:44pm
KOrganizer was not yet ported
KOrganizer was not yet ported to Akonadi. Actually, porting has just started in a separate work branch in SVN.
There is an Akonadi resource for accessing Google Calendar in extragear.
There is no LionMail for calendars yet, to my knowledge. However, that shouldn't be too difficult to write with the high level APIs that Plasma and Akonadi provide.
By TMG at Wed, 2009/07/01 - 7:02pm
Google Calendar
Is the stuff with the google Calendar documented somewhere? I dont find the place where I can set up an "Akonadi Compatibility Resource".
By etienner at Sat, 2009/07/04 - 3:34pm
You can set up additional
You can set up additional calendars/resources in the system settings, under the "Advanced" tab, the "KDE Resources" module. There you can add additional resources, and you should add a "Akonadi Compatibility Resource" if it is not already there. In the settings of the new resource, you can add Akonadi resources as calendar sources.

Strigi Search - OS X Spotlight
Hey Guys,
Does anyone know whats going on with Strigi? I was hoping Strigi was gonna be like Spotlight for KDE but so far I haven't found a client for it. I heard it was gonna be integrated into Krunner. Does anyone one know the status for such a feature?
By Zubin Parihar at Thu, 2009/07/02 - 7:10pm
Simple answer
As far as I'm concerned, the main problem is lack of developers. Some GSoC students are working on improving it, and first results should already be available from the nepomuksearch KIO slave (type "nepomuksearch:/" into Konqueror's or Dolphin's URL bar, but do not expect too much for the moment).

4.3 is great!
I installed KDE 4.3 overnight in Gentoo (using the "kde-testing" overlay via portage 2.2: emerge -C @kde; emerge -uDN world; emerge @kde), and I like it a lot!
On the first login plasma didn't look right (the corners were still Oxygen, the rest Air), but that was fixed in the second run (plasma needs a "report bug" function, I think), and I needed a bit of time to get used to the Air theme, but aside from that everything seems to work - and the shadows are fast, now!
Now I just wait for a Starcraft2 theme :)
... and for support for the video and audio tag in Konqueror :)
By Arne Babenhauserheide at Sat, 2009/07/04 - 9:05pm
I just reported my first Bug directly from the DrKonqui wizard, and it's great!
I'd wish every GNU/Linux program would use a similarly great crash wizard. It's damn convenient reporting bugs that way!
Many thanks to the dev who wrote it!

I am very glad that Mongoose had done the MINOR RACES sourcebooks .It gives a new depth to the races that most players might not play or now gives them a reason to play them ! I am looking forward to the next MINOR RACE book !
I bought this Minor Alien Module because I already own all the Alien Modules from mongoose and I am very impressed bu them (and eagerly waiting for the new ones...). The idea of a female dominated culture was intriguing too so I decided to get it. It was good, but not very original nor exceptional.
My God, Bones [or pulp SF character of your choice...], it is a Planet of Women. Long a standard trope of pulp Science Fiction speculates of planets where 1950s gender roles are reversed, so it was a matter of time before Traveller would also tramp over this fertile field.
However, this is no adolescent heterosexual or lesbian fantasy power trip this is an intelligent and well written guide to what if women would dominate an entire pocket empire with a ratio 2:1. Ok, there is some creative imagery in terms of the writing (which clearly was not passed on to the art director, as the art shows nothing what the text would suggest, in fact, the opposite) notwithstanding for the most part, the writing is solid and clear cut. There are some problems with the text, as critical reaction tables are reversed thus it is necessary to read through the text to weed out the errata. But these are nitpicks for what presents a great new resource for a new minor race.
Naturally, one gets a comprehensive history of the race, new careers associated with the race, unique gizmos (mainly in the area of reproductive technologies but also ships along with deckplans) and a discussion of the worlds under the influence of the Luriani. So, other the disappointment with the art not conforming to the text (maybe the cover is the exception) – one should pick up this judiciously and cleverly written booklet. Hopefully, sooner than later, Mongoose will put several of these together for a deadtree copy (along with revising the art).

All About Camp Stimey
It's okay. I am here to help.
Each summer, with varying levels of success, I plan Camp Stimey, an at-home summer program designed to keep your kids learning and having fun while keeping them the hell off of your back. Camp Stimey (or Camp [insert your family nickname here]) involves work, but it's worth it.
Following are summaries of each of the theme weeks Team Stimey has participated in, with links to relevant posts, detailing the disasters and/or successes of each.
I will update this post at the completion of each week, so if you don't find something to your liking yet, come back in a couple of weeks and check again!
Please feel free to leave suggestions for future Camp Stimey activities in the comments. Did you do at-home camp with a successful theme? Let me know what you did and I will shamelessly steal the idea for myself.
The Origin of it All: I'm going to be honest here and tell you that I originally stole this idea from my friend, Lindsay, and have since given her almost no credit for her suggestion. This is how Camp Stimey, orginally Camp Here and Now, came to be way back in 2008.
We started by making collages with pictures of food cut out of magazines. The great thing about Cooking Week is that you can make your trip to the grocery store fit in with your theme. No, I'm not dragging you on errands! I'm teaching you! Try making macaroni art and then cook pasta for dinner. I wasn't very good at chronicling Camp Stimey back in those days, but cooking week evidently also included making playdough.
Animal Week: Animal Week started with Day One: Pets. We read stories about pets and colored pictures. We also petted our dog. Later in the week, we did animal races (you yell the name of an animal and your kids have to race, while walking/running/crawling like that animal). We also took a trip to the C&O Canal, where we went on a boat ride where the boat was pulled by mules. We were also in the middle of our Ant Farm Nightmare during animal week, which fit in well, although insects could be a whole theme week of their own.
Soccer Day, which is pretty self explanatory. Actually attending a real sports game is a fun way to spend a day of Sports Week. I suggest you look for a minor league baseball team or women's basketball. These games tend to be mellower and cheaper, but just as much fun. We took a day to go see our local minor league baseball team, the Bowie Baysox during this Sports Week.
Camp Stimey returned in earnest in the summer of 2009, and was my best planned and executed Camp Stimey to date. This post lays out my goals for the summer.
Transportation Week: This is one of my favorite weeks of all times. Most kids can really get behind this and there are so many methods of transportation to choose from that you are almost guaranteed to find fun activities no matter where you live. You can read my summary post of the whole week and a more in-depth post about Day Five: Bus Day.
College Park Aviation Museum, a local repository of all things airplane. Day Four was Boat Day. We went to a nearby lake that offers rental boats, including the most small-child friendly of the boats, the pedal boat. Be forewarned: You will do all of the pedaling. Day Five, of course, was Disguise an Errand as Bus Day.
Government and History Week: This is a very easy theme to conduct if you live in the DC Metro area. It may be harder if you live in, say, Ruralville, North Dakota. But I believe in you, faithful campers! You can do it! You can read about my ideas for this week in my Coming Attractions post. There are a lot of easy things to teach your kids about government including the three branches of government and basic history. Schoolhouse Rock can help you out a lot here. I like to schedule this week around July 4th, but the problem with that is that everyone else does too. Your local attractions will be busy that week.
Our week included trips to the US Capitol Building, a journey to the birthplace of George Washington, and a trip to the National Museum of American History (highly recommended!), which was preceded by a tour of the Main Justice Building of the Department of Justice, facilitated by government lawyer Alex. Check out the full details in my summary post. Oh, we also celebrated July 4th.
"Ology" Week: Think geology, paleontology, archaeology, and then mash them all up in one week of confusing science. This week had some extraordinary successes as well as a couple of spectacular failures. But as they say, when it comes to science, you can learn more from your failures than your successes, right? RIGHT?!
Speaking of failures, now might be the time to mention those. We went letterboxing, unsuccessfully our first time, successfully the second, and we attempted to create homemade stalagmites and stalactites. That didn't work either. I also attempted to dye sand so we could make sand art. That also didn't go so well.
This week also featured our first Camp Stimey Meet-Up, which is a fun way to meet some new people in your area, or even people you already know. We went to a local nature center. Aside from some customary Team Stimey shenanigans, I'm going to count this one as a success.
Our biggest outing was to Luray Caverns, where you can tour a giant underground cave. If you live near any caverns, check them out. This was a high point of our summer. I hope to go back sometime soon.
My summary from that week covers most of our activities, including Entomology Day; Letterboxing Day; Letterboxing Day, Take Two; Archaeology, Paleontology; and Spelunking.
Sports Week, Year Two: See, I told you that this one is fun and easy. I just have a Coming Attractions post and a Summary post for this week, but we packed a lot in, which you can read about in the summary.
We started with Golf Day, when I took my kids to a driving range to hit golf balls. They had fun, and if you go on a weekday, there are not a lot of serious golfers there for you to annoy. Field Hockey Day came next, in the form of my mother's helper, who acted as a Camp Stimey Counselor for the day. We also crammed in soccer, football, baseball, and soccer. I also took my own advice and took my kids to a women's basketball game, in our case, the Washington Mystics.
Boot Camp Week: This is not, as Sam originally thought, a week to learn about boots, but rather a week when you can spend five days barking orders at your kids without guilt. We didn't do this in 2009, but I would recommend closing up your Boot Camp Week with a trip to laser tag.
This week for us included learning about the branches of the military and having water gun fights. If you do this type of week, I would recommend morning calisthenics and daily "training" obstacle courses.
but mostly I cut up a United States map and had my kids learn a little bit about each state, then draw something relevant on each state. This was a great idea and a lot of fun, but took longer than I expected, meaning we didn't get farther than the western states.
Colonial Week: This is a good week to do if you live anywhere near Virginia. It might be harder elsewhere, but I'm sure you could try to recreate colonial times in your backyard or make a colonial meal with ease. In fact, the more I write about Camp Stimey, the more I see missed opportunities. Maybe I need a Camp Stimey is Better the Second Time Around Week, where I take advantage of what I learned the first time.
For us, colonial week meant that we went to Jamestown in Virginia (on the hottest day of the year, apparently) and then the next day we constructed a little model of Jamestown. It was fun. I don't know how much my kiddos learned, but I sure did get a better appreciation for what the original settlers had to go through.
Where Does Our Food Come From Week: This is one of my favorite Camp Stimey weeks of all time. I loved that my kids got to learn a little bit about what happens to food before it gets to the grocery store. I wanted to let Alex handle the first day of this camp by having him force the kids to help him with his vegetable garden, but he took them swimming instead.
Day Two involved blackberry and peach picking and my mom baked a kickass blackberry crisp. On Day Three we made homemade bread, butter, and peach pie. It was completely awesome. Most of this information is available in my summary post.
On Day Four, we went to a farm that we found on the internet. It turned out to be not really what I would call a farm, but there were some animals and there was a tree maze and we had fun, so it doesn't really matter.
Day Five was super fun because we went to a dairy farm and got to see real cows being milked. We also got to feed the calves and pet kittens. Plus, we drank brand new milk, straight from the farm, which was delicious!
Simple Machine Week: This is the week of Camp Stimey that has stuck with my kids more than any other week. Jack in particular really internalized the message of this week and can identify a simple machine at thirty paces. It's easy to plan this week because simple machines are part of everything. On wheel day, you can go bike riding. On lever day, you can dig a hole. On inclined plane day, you can...drive up an on ramp.
We found examples of simple machines, learning about a different one or two each day, and then we did little experiments with them. It was fun. Plus, I keep finding little pictures of simple machines in Jack's backpack, so I know he really learned something. This is concrete enough for the youngest of kids, yet can be made more complex for older kids. It's the perfect topic!
If you are in DC, you can finish up Simple Machine Week with a trip to the National Building Museum, which we did. We didn't end up doing any of the building activities because there was a Lego exhibit there that kind of stole the show, but usually the activity packs you can borrow are good options. If you don't live in DC, maybe go to a construction site and try to spot all the simple machines you can find.
Human body week was necessitated by my desire to make sure my kids received some sex education prior to learning it on the streets. You know, where they often hang out. Don't worry, though! If you're not ready for THAT particular lesson, there are many other parts of the body to explore. For example, we built a skeleton out of paper bones. It would be fun to add muscles on top of that, then skin, and then dress the person, but we didn't get that far before I ran out of energy. Other ideas include exploring the five senses and doing fingerprinting.
Water Week: I had all kinds of plans to teach my kids about oceans and water life during Water Week, but for the most part we just played with water. You can read all about the things we did in my recap post, but here's a quick round up: We did a lot of swimming, had a water balloon fight, found a local park with a stream in it, visited an aquarium and did some water-related crafts and experiments. For example, we experimented with food coloring in water and then making music by clinking spoons against glasses with different amounts of water in them. We also did some watercolor painting (of aquatic subjects) and made giant stuffed fish.
Five Senses Week: This week was planned better by me than implemented. It turned out that we got busy and didn't have a lot of extra time to do activities. Plus, my older sons weren't too interested in the five senses because they'd already learned all about them at school. This might be a better theme for younger kids. We did do some fun stuff, including thinking about sounds and a general lesson on the overall senses. I had planned to put objects in socks and have my kids feel them, then draw what they thought they were. We were also going to bake for Smell Day and flavor popcorn with salt, sugar, and Parmesan cheese on Taste Day. If you Google "activities for five senses," you will come up with a plethora of things to do!
You are now up to date on Camp Stimey. Check back again because I'll be adding information as we complete more weeks! You can always access this post by clicking on the Camp Stimey button on the top right of the sidebar.

National Removal Companies in Rivonia ?
If you have been thinking about opening your own client based business, you will need a place to meet with these patrons that is not in a packed coffeehouse or the basement of your own home. You want a professional, quiet meeting space to entice and land the client of your dreams. How are you going to make that happen with little finances, no office equipment or supplies, and no staff? It can be quite costly and scary to open yourself up to potential failure, but that is the only way to make your way in this world. Keep reading, and you will learn the difference between executive suites and standard office space rentals so that you can make the right decision for your business. Cost One of the most significant differences between executive suites and office space rentals is the cost difference. With a traditional office, you need to pay upfront a 12-month security deposit to lease or rent the office space. Most contracts are for a minimum of two years. How can you afford to lock yourself into a two-year contract when you do not know if you will succeed in the business you are starting? That is a lot of pressure to place on yourself. With an executive office, you will only have to pay a one-month security deposit and the minimum contract is for one month. This is much more realistic and will not break the bank if your small company does not expand as you hope it will. Appearance The next most substantial difference is the appearance of the office spaces. When signing the lease for a 2-year office space, you will be signing for an empty room. You now need to furnish the building as well as purchase office equipment, business supplies, hire a receptionist, and numerous other tasks just to get your business to have a grand opening. With a virtual office space, you will be getting a five-star address in the heart of the business district in the major city in which you live. You will also be getting a beautiful view, elegant meeting rooms with expensive furnishings, a fully functional prestigious office to immediately start using, and support staff to assist you in your endeavours. Communications Communications are critical in a startup business and a well-established company, respectively. With a traditional office space, you will need to set up internet service as well as communications for the telephone. With a conventional office space, you need to schedule these services and pay for them to be set up as well as continually pay for the service monthly after that. With a virtual business solution such as executive suites, you will have a state of the art telecommunications system readily available. Will be gaining global IT network that allows local, national, and international calls with many added features. You will also have a high-speed internet connection with a 99.9% uptime with a one to one ratio, a dedicated tier one bandwidth, as well as the most beneficial and reliable broadband service in the industry. Support With a traditional office space, you need to hire an office staff. That can take a lot of time and energy and limits you on when you can open your business. Not only will you have to go through the ad placement for help wanted, but you will also have to perform the interviewing, background checks, hiring, and provide benefits, this is both costly and time-consuming. With an executive office solution, you will gain a dedicated team and office management personnel. You generally will be provided with an office manager and a dedicated receptionist. In addition, you also will have staff who will deal directly with package deliveries, both incoming and outgoing, as well as mail couriers. Why Virtual Office Solutions and Executive Suites are the Answer for Your Business As a small or large business entrepreneur, you know you have to take risks to expand and be successful in business. Instead of going with the traditional office rental, why not look into more innovative and manageable solutions to your company office issues? Executive suites and virtual business solutions assist in this process by allowing you to get the needed physical location and services that you are wanting. Since the budget is usually the most substantial factor in business operations, using a virtual office should be a definite winner as you are not locked into an extended contract, and you do not have to pay a large sum of money up front. In addition, you will receive better communications, a great looking office with grand boardrooms, and all the help you need. Check into executive suites when starting or expanding your business!
Selling or Moving My Furniture When Relocating
Your floors need special protection when undergoing remodeling, during new construction, moving heavy furniture or equipment, and for other events beyond day-to-day use. Protecting flooring makes sense and saves money. A spill of paint, the drop of a hammer, a scratch from heavy furniture can cost thousands of dollars in replacement and repair costs. This article describes surface protection products for floors so that you can make informed choices on the best product to use for your needs.
Types of Protection Packaging:
Floor protection products are commonly packaged as either:
(1) Products by the roll: These include common adhesive films, rolled paper products and rolled textile protection. Protective materials purchased by the roll are commonly measured in thickness by mils (e.g., 2.5 mils thick up to 48 mils thick).
(2) Products by the sheet: These include corrugated plastic, masonite, and other rigid protection. Protective materials purchased by the sheet are commonly measured in thickness by the inch (e.g., 1/4-inch thick) and normally come as 4 feet by 8 feet.
Type of Flooring Protection:
Paper protection is suitable for all hard surfaces and resilient surfaces but does not work well to protect carpets as it can tear when flexing under footsteps. Paper products are breathable so that glue fumes and cement curing vapors can escape. One disadvantage to paper products as they require tapes to secure them to flooring and tapes can often leave adhesive residue when removed. Common paper protection products include:
· Ramboard™ A coated compressed paper board 38 mils thick that is breathable, water resistant and made from recycled paper.
· Kraft paper is a lightweight brown paper that is inexpensive but does not afford any impact protection and can easily tear
· Scrim paper may incorporate coatings or reinforcements to make them water resistant as well as scrim threads to reinforce the paper and prevent tearing. These improved papers are longer lasting than regular Kraft paper or rosin paper however they are also too thin to offer much impact protection.
- Surface Liner Vapor™ is the newest textile product to market and is both breathable and leakproof. Microscopic pores in the plastic liner allow vapor to escape yet are too small for common liquids to penetrate. This rolled product is also easy to keep clean as the plastic top can be swept daily to keep it looking good.
- EZ Cover™ is manufactured to protect cement slabs or decorative cement while curing. It has a soft felt bottom and compressed paper backing that allows the floor to breathe. EZ Cover is commonly used in both commercial and residential applications and is easy to cut to size as needed.
Applying the Surface Protection
In order to obtain the full benefits of using surface protection, proper application is a must. The floors should be clean (vacuumed or swept) prior to covering with the protection products. The proper choice of protection should be made so that moisture is not trapped on floors that are still curing. Trapping moisture can cause a full product failure and will invalidate a wood floor manufacturer's warranty. For heavy traffic or loads, several protection layers may be needed.
In summary, there are many choices in temporary floor protection available today. When choosing a protection product, it is wise to consider the cost, duration needed, breathability and potential to reuse the product. Successful floor protection also includes proper installation and preparation of the floor. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendation for use so the potential for adhesive transfer is avoided. Protecting valuable floors is a wise investment in time and money. Surface protection experts are also available to help you choose the best floor protection for your needs.

In this tutorial you will learn how to create a very nice looking fashion advertisement, using Adobe Photoshop. We are going for a cold and frosty look, by using cold colors and frost textures. Here's a look at the final image.
Jump in and you might learn a thing or two!
- Tutorial Requirements: Photoshop CS2
- Difficulty: Intermediate
- Time: 1-3 Hours
We are going to use this stock photo by DeviantArt-user Katanaz-Stock When you are done with the tutorial, be sure to check out her work and maybe drop a line or two as a good gesture!
Step 1
Open the photo in Adobe Photoshop. First we are going to extract the girl from the background. This can be done in billions of ways, but we are going to use Calculations.
Duplicate the background layer (always work on a copy of the original photo).
Apply Image Calculations, by using the menu Image > Calculations. The trick now is to get a high-contrast outline of the model so that the extraction will be as detailed as possible.
While playing around with the settings, we found that these worked pretty well for this particular photograph.
Step 2
Select the recently created Channel "Alpha 1″, select all on this Alpha-channel and paste it on a new layer. (Ctrl + A, Ctrl + C, then back to the Layers palette and Ctrl + V).
Your layers-palette should now look something like shown at right.
NEXT: In step 3 we'll add contrast and create layer fills ...

New Haven Pizza, Part One: Frank Pepe's
Three cars. Seventy-nine point nine miles. Ten people. Two pizzerias. Nine pies. One hundred and twenty-some dollars. That's the Slice New Haven trip by the numbers.
We left Greenpoint, Brooklyn, at 12:30 p.m. Saturday and arrived at Wooster Street, home to New Haven's famous Frank Pepe's and Sally's Apizza, around 3 p.m. We were there to try New Havenstyle pie, which only a few among us had had before. We'd heard that the pizza in this seaside Connecticut town was as good as, if not better than, New York's best and we wanted to try for ourselves. Our plan was to get hit Frank Pepe's around 2 p.m., eat some pie, take some photos, talk to some folks, and then get out and get in line at Sally's Apizza by 4:30 p.m. for the joint's 5 p.m. opening. (A kind reader had tipped us that we needed to be outside Sally's by that time to get in for the first seating of the day.)
We arrived a little later than planned and got on line at Pepe's around 3:15 p.m. After a 15-minute wait, we were in. The short wait gave Seltzerboy and I a chance to talk to filmmakers Michael Dorian and Joe dos Santos (left, from left) of Cat Price Productions. The pair were shooting video for a documentary about pizza and were in New Haven killing two birds with one stonedocumenting Pepe's and talking to Slice editors. [The rest of the epic journey to Pepe's, after the jump.]
The prospect of appearing on the silver screen was appealing, but we were hungry, and our table was ready. We crammed eight people (two would show up about 15 minutes later and take a second table) into a long booth and were greeted by Donna (right), our superfriendly waitress. Donna welcomed us to Pepe's and was more patient with us than we probably deserved, what with us getting up, taking photos, wandering around to look at the enormous kitchen and gigantic oven, and asking tons of questions. Her down-to-earth charm was the first of many differences between Pepe's and Sallys, but more on that later. We were relieved to see her remove the "No Clam Pies Available Today" sign from the door soon after we sat down. This is New Haven, afterall; clam pies are said to have been invented here, and we had to sample one at each place.
We ordered three large pizzas. One white (no sauce) clam pie, one with mushrooms, and one with mozzarella. Now in New York, we'd call that a "plain" pie. But New Haven ain't New York, and when we ordered a "plain" pie, Donna asked us, "What do you mean by 'plain'? 'Plain' here is just red sauce with a sprinkling of Parmesan, flavored with garlic and oregano." Hence we ordered "one with mozzarella." But the New Havenstyle plain pie sounded good too, so we ordered a small one (left foreground; in the background, Seltzerboy holds a mozzarella slice, crust-side up to show the camera the tasty bits of charring from the coal-fired oven).
One of the main differences between New Haven and New York pizza is the crust. While still a thin crust, it's a little thicker and doughier than New Yorkstyle. Second is the sauce-and-cheese balance; New Haven pie seems to run a little heavier on the sauce. At Pepe's, this wasn't a bad thing, as the pizzeria's mixture had an exceptionally fresh tangy tomatoey taste. Nor was it a problem at Sally's, but the sauce didn't seem as, well, peppy. Third is that both New Haven places seemed to leave the pies in long enough that the oil separated from the cheese, rose to the top of the pie, and almost seemed to "fry" the mozzarella, giving it a mottled golden-brown color. These factors were true of both Pepe's and Sally's and are visible in the pie shown at right, which is from Sally's.
But, back to Pepe's. The pies arrived about 20 minutes after ordering. We found out that "large" was an understatement. They were huge, oblong, roughly 20-inch-diameter pies cut into numerous irregularly sized slices (see photos at top for an idea). The crust among all the large pies was pretty consistent: crisp, chewy, and light with a golden-brown bottom with evidence of the tell-tale coal-oven char here and there. It was doughy almost like bread and had a nice salty taste that complemented the tangy fresh tomato sauce. While consistent among pies, the crust thickness varied from superthin to puffy thick on each pie, often becoming puffiest at the end crust, resulting in "too much empty real estate for my taste," as Amanda G. noted. (See the photo at left, just above; the slice on the left illustrates the puffy lost-real-estate concept.) Even in these spots, though, the worst that happens is that you end up eating what "tastes like really good Cosi bread," as pizza-clubber Joe D. put it.
With such a large group, opinion was all over the place, but the mushroom pie was the unanimous last-place finisher. The mushrooms were rubbery and looked like they might have been the canned variety. Though not everyone's favorite, the top pie was the white clam. With fresh whole clams (below left) cooked perfectly, it was more about what the clams weren'tthey weren't rubbery or too "clammy" tasting and didn't leave a bad aftertaste as low-quality clams often do.
Friend of Slice Tien Mao inquired as to the origins of the clam pie and was told that Frank Pepe himself came up with the idea as a lark. The local fishermen in New Haven always had bushels of clams on hand, and Mr. Pepe had the idea of putting them on pizza. After baking one up, he was surprised it worked and hence the clam pie was born. By the time we left Pepe's (around 4:15 p.m.), we were told that Pepe's had gone through six bushels of clams since opening at 11:30 a.m. I had to look up how big a bushel was, and it's 35.239 liters. Six bushels equals roughly 223 quarts, or about 56 gallons (give or take some for dry-weight/liquid-measure discrepancies).
Want another amazing number? How about 500 pies a day? That's roughly how many we were told came out of Pepe's enormous oven. On a Saturday, that's 1.33 pies every minute. And the oven is more than capable of handling this volume. Perhaps one of the most striking things about Pepe's is its gargantuan oven with gigantic prep area and oarlike pizza peels to match.
The oven floored us all. The pizza peels were long. We're talking looooooong. So long that the board end of the paddle rested on a special shelf bulit into the oven wall and the handle then extended upward at a 45-degree angle and rested on a hook built into the ceiling (see Joe Schumacher's post, fifth photo, for reference). At one point, the pizzaiolo at the oven opened the coal door (see Tien's sixth photo) and you could feel the heat from about 25 feet away.
This oven, however, is not the original. Don't get me wrong. It's as old as it lookscirca 1936but the original oven, and the original Pepe's, is just around the corner. Called "The Spot," this original location, established in 1925, was so popular that Pepe's had to expand in 1936 to the building we've documented here. The original building's coal-fired oven dates to the 1880s.
After eating, Slice met Gary Bimonte, Mr. Pepe's grandson and a co-owner and manager of the place. Mr. Bimonte, who was as welcoming as his wait staff, related bits of Pepe's history, noting that the place has served presidents Reagan and Clinton (Bill really likes the pizza, huh?) and that it was once slated to host Hillary but the Secret Service nixed it ("Too many rooftops around here," Mr. Bimonte said, "We ended up catering that one off-site").
All total, we dropped $100 at Pepe'sincluding tipfor the four pies, two pitchers of beers, and one bottle of diet birch beer. We estimate that Greg and Mike at the second table spent about $16. That $12.50 per person bought so much food that we were stuffed long before we even made it to Sally's Apizza, just down the street. What about Sally's, you ask? More to come later today ...
For now, click through to the jump to see photo outtakes from the day.
OK. That's it for now. Check back as the day goes on. I'll add more photos as I'm able to. And watch for the second installment of our New Haven trip, our visit to Sally's. More to come!

In light of recent events occurring nationwide associated with gun-related violence in schools, the American Anthropological Association (AAA) has released the following statement on gun violence on behalf of the Association's more than 11,000 members.
American Anthropological Association Statement on Gun Violence
The tragic events at Sandy Hook Elementary and Taft Union High School, the latest in an escalating series of mass shootings, remind us that gun violence is a major cause of death in the United States. Every year over 30,000 Americans are killed by guns. This is only slightly less than the number killed in car crashes and accidental poisonings (including drug overdoses). The abundance of guns in the U.S. also poses problems for neighboring countries. Since it is necessary to understand a problem in order to solve it, there is an urgent need for research by social scientists, public health experts and others into the relationship between guns and public safety and into measures that might reduce the number of lives lost to gun-related violence every year. The U.S. has a long history of public funding for research in the general interest – on agricultural innovation, public health, and product safety, for example.
Unfortunately, in 1996 the U.S. Congress defunded research on gun safety and gun injury at the Centers for Disease Control. It subsequently imposed constraints on research on guns and public health sponsored by the National Institutes for Health. Far from fostering a better understanding of gun deaths, the U.S. government seems to be actively impeding it.
Therefore we call upon the Congress and the Administration to rescind measures that obstruct the development of empirical knowledge about guns and public safety. Further, we call on the Congress and the Administration to make additional federal funds available, as an urgent national priority, for rigorous peer-reviewed research by experts from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to investigate ways of reducing the tragic loss of life in incidents involving guns.

Much Thanks!0
I am having a serious problem with my 04 isuzu axiom and I have replaced the fuel pump in the parking lot of autozone all day today. I also changed the fuel filter and check the spark plugs. I checked all the fuses under the hood and they are all good to go. I had talked to a few people and they said it might be a spark plug coil. I do not know and probably don't have the tool to check a coil. The car cranks and doesn't start. If anybody has any ideas. Believe me it will be appreciated. I'm about done with this car today. Tomorrow is another day. Any suggestions?0
check engine light has been on for awhile. It used to go off from time to time. Also got lucky passing emissions because the engine light went off while I was driving to emission station. Then I knew it would pass as long as that light stayed the hell off. It stayed off till the next day. Now it's been on for the past couple months. I change the oil regularly. I have replaced three alternator's in this vehicle so far. I bought it at 80,000 miles. I now have 124000 roughtly. I had to replace a battery as well as a fuel injector. And now this unusual problem. Before all this happened, I got into an accident. Somebody hit me from behind at roughly about...35 mph. Moving forward I'm back to square one and now don't know where to start. oh, I went and tried to replace all the spark plugs and when I got them from the auto part store they did not fit my car and the employee searched by year, make, and model. Could it possibly be that the engine has been replaced with a different model or something?0
Tell us the year, make, model and engine size and we'll post the correct spark plug for your engine.0

imidazol97 Crossroads of America I70 & I75 Posts: 23,889You can do some sleuthing as to the origin of the light or you can take it to a box store that does free code checking to see what code is showing that's turning the light on. Don't buy anything based on the code, just report it and let some folks try to help narrow it down.
The items besides the gas cap leaking that can cause codes are the purge valve and the vent valve along with some rubber tubing that carries the vacuum to the tank to do emissions checks.
The rubber parts deteriorate and crack causing a leak of the vacuum setting off certain codes. Heat above the engine aggravates the aging.
The purge valve may not be turning on to send vacuum to the charcoal cannister to let air flow through to remove gas vapors caught in it.
The vent valve may not be closing for the times when the emissions check verifies that there are no leaks in the tank, cap, tubing, etc., to allow the gas fumes to vent to atmosphere instead of being forced throught the charcoal canister where they will be caught by the carbon granules.
There also is a pressure sensor on top of the tank that measures the vacuum drawn on the tank/system by the purge valve and how quickly that vacuum deteriorates (measuring the leakage of air into the system).
Also note the relationship to the volume of fuel in the tank. The typical GM algorithm is to only run the leak tests when tank is between 15% and 80% or so in gasoline. Also the engine needs to be luke warm--not cold and not full normal temp. Try keeping your tank between 1/4 and 3/4 for a couple of weeks and lots of key starts. See if the light goes off because the system is able to correctly do several leak checks. The computer has to do a certain number of good tests before it will turn off the light.
Good luck.

thx-it turned out to be an air fuel sensor-spent close to $600 to get it replaced at a Toyota dealership.Hoping to get a few more years out of my 14 year old Sienna with 200k on the clock. Gotta admit though this car is getting expensive to keep on the road0

text: it's towards the tail end of summer, where I live but it's still high 90's, and it's just come off some 100 degree plus days. I don't have a climate controlled garage but try to wait till evening when the weather has cooled down a little and the car paint isn't warm anymore. When I'm polishing, I've been using the Flex XC 3401 VRG, and after just a few seconds of buffing, the polish is caking up and the Flex is actually spitting out little chunks of dried compound. I've tried adding a little more lubrication to the pad to hopefully luibricate the pad and compound a bit more, as the pad is also getting quite warm. Any ideas what my issue may be and possible fixes? I've also been using my torq 10fx, for smaller panel areas and it seems to work a little bit better though the polish seems like it's still drying up after a little bit of usage.
