All Rise...
For Judge Daryl Loomis, nothing occurred last night.
The Charge
Who did you sell her to?
Opening Statement
In Italian cinema, two of the hottest genres of the late '60s and early '70s were the poliziotteschi, cop thrillers, and the gialli, those most lurid of crime movies which I've spent many hours sucking down. They're very specific styles of film, with very specific elements that a required to fit into the genre, unlike in America where a thriller can mean any number of different kinds of things. That's what makes Death Occurred Last Night such an anomaly. It features elements from both genres, but can't really be classified as either. But leave the cataloguing to the librarians, because I have a movie to review.
Facts of the Case
When a nymphomaniac with the mind of a child is kidnapped, police inspector Duca Lamberti (Frank Wolff, Once upon a Time in the West), convinced that she's been sold into prostitution, combs the criminal underworld looking for her. When he discovers that, while he was right, she has also been executed. Now, he must find the killers before her father (Raf Vallone, Decedenza), driven mad with grief, can exact his own personal vengeance.
The Evidence
While the idea of the girl with the mind of a three-year-old may make Death Occurred Last Night seem a little too prurient, it's really a fairly grounded crime movie. Sure, that little bit is pretty disgusting, but once her mental state is established, they don't really dwell on that side of it. In fact, the girl (Gillian Bray, The Bod Squad) is barely in the movie at all.
Instead, the story is split pretty much evenly between Lamberti's investigation and the father's growing insanity. Lamberti's side is standard cop fare, with Lamberti working the beat, talking to pimps, going to brothels, roughing up johns, stuff like that. To give him some sympathy, he brings one young prostitute, who gave him his only lead in the investigation, into his home to try to straighten her out. She doesn't like it, but it's better than the cathouse.
The father's side is where the gialli elements emerge. In focusing on his loneliness and grief, sympathy for him is a given, but as he starts to go mad, those feelings start to erode and, when he finally learns the truth (in an extended flashback that is very typical of the genre), it's rampage time and it's pretty tough to have much sympathy for a guy who is crushing people's faces into glass.
By straddling the line between the two, director Duccio Tessari (A Pistol for Ringo) is allowed to have the story as lurid as he pleases, while still maintaining a grounded cop story. Most in the police genre focus on things other than sex crimes, but that's what pretty much every giallo is about, so we get the best of both worlds.
Tessari doesn't inject a lot of style into the movie, but he puts in a solid journeyman effort. The story moves along smoothly and sensibly, which is a little surprising considering how much is actually going on in it. The violence, while relatively slim, is handled well; it's fairly brutal, but it makes sense in the context of the movie, so it feels inevitable. The only part of Death Occurred Last Night that verges into the weird is the musical score by Gianni Ferrio and, especially, the grating title track sung by Mina. Often, the music is completely inappropriate for the onscreen action; while that's going to put off some people, it's relatively common in Italian genre movies, and I tend to enjoy that kind of thing.
If nothing else, Death Occurred Last Night is a worthwhile oddity. Certainly not as stylish as the best of the gialli and certainly not as tight as the best of the poliziotteschi, the genres are combined in an interesting and satisfying way. It's hard to tell what kind of value it will carry in subsequent viewings, but at least as something I'd never heard of before, it's a pretty good time.
Death Occurred Last Night comes to Blu-ray from Raro Video in an average edition. The 1.75:1/1080p transfer looks reasonably good. The colors are a little soft, but that was very common for Italian cinema of the time, and there's a bit of damage to the print. The clarity is pretty strong, though, with some fine detail, though it's nothing you're going to show off to your friends. The sound fairs similarly with its simple two-channel PCM mix. There's no background noise to speak of, but there's no real dynamic range, either. Still, the dialog and that weird score are clear enough. The only extra beyond the trailer is an introduction to the film by Chris Alexander, which is nothing to write home about.
Closing Statement
An unsung gem of Italian crime movies, Death Occurred Last Night will most definitely satisfy genre fans. Others might recoil at the humorless grimness of the movie, but hey, the stuff that Raro releases isn't really known for its mainstream appeal. This is one of those cinematic obscurities that makes wading through all the garbage worth it…sort of. Recommended.

I think you'll find loyalists on both sides. I think the best advice is to get what works best for you. The manufacturing / quality control for one company is definitely better than the other, but I won't say which...you decide. Go to the gun store, heft both (better yet...find someone at the range that owns both and shoot 'em both).
One thing that is suprising...The Benelli Nova (lower end) is NOT well regarded by ANY of my clients. Unless you plan to spend $1700 on an M4 (which is an amazing gun, in it's own right), go for a Mossie or a Remington.

And Happy Birthday, Bullets
~Killjoys, make some noise~
And Happy Birthday, Bullets
~Killjoys, make some noise~
After all the hype and subsequent disappointment over what My Chemical Romance are planning for September 23rd, the announcement of a re-release of the Black Parade seems almost anticlimactic. "We wanted a tour and got the same old music!" Killjoys cried online.
I know how you feel, because we all feel it. Disappointed. Upset. Let down. Maybe even angry.
But no matter how you feel, no matter what you think, please don't blame Gerard, Frank, Mikey and Ray for this. I know you wanted a tour, a reunion, a new album - we all did.
the whole MCRX thing wasn't on them, so please don't spam them with hate tweets/comments/whatever. I know it sucks, but theres no need to be an asshole about it.
Much love,
-Audrey J
I don't know if anyone even reads these but it's worth a shot.
Very long story short...last month I left my long term boyfriend. After putting up with a lot of abuse towards myself and my 4 year old daughter I packed us up and moved across the country as far as I could.
Give an enormous "F*CK YOU" to Warner Bros. Records! Oh cruel trickery, thou heartless b*tch. Remember, Never Let Them Take the Light Behind Your Eyes, even if they tear your heart out, stomp on it, and leave you begging for more :)
Just a friendly reminder that "mcrx" had nothing to do with the guys. It was a publicity stunt / pathetic con by that horse shit, Warner Bros. Please, do not tweet Gee about it or Mikey, Frankie, and Ray. Be kind to them because this is not their fault.
it always says that. like last year it said that.
Warner Brothers, you got thousands of hopes up, and hurt so many fans. If MCR doesn't want to get back together most of us are completely understanding of that because they are busy people.

I am trying to copy data from excel into SPSS. I have 80 excel files and need to copy and paste the same cells from each workbook into my main SPSS database. Is there any way I can do this aside from manually copying and pasting each individual value?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Another approach if you have at least SPSS Statistics 17 would be to use the SPSSINC PROCESS FILES extension command available from the SPSS Community website (www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral). This can loop over a set of files and apply SPSS syntax to each, including GET DATA to read the files. So it could read through the Excel files you want, open them in SPSS Statistics, and then select out whatever portion of the dataset is appropriate.
This requires the Python Essentials/plugin for your Statistics version also available from the Community website, but no skills other than with SPSS syntax are required.
HTH, Jon Peck

SEJONG, July 15 (Yonhap) -- The amount of foreign direct investment (FDI) pledged to South Korea grew significantly from a year earlier in the first half though the amount of FDI actually arriving here dropped, the government said Monday, apparently due to political risks created by North Korea.
The amount of FDI freshly pledged to the country in the first six months of the year came to US$8 billion, up 12.5 percent from the same period last year, according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
The ministry attributed the growth to a large increase in new FDI pledges from the United States and the European Union.
In the first half, new FDI pledges from the United States doubled from a year earlier to $2.52 billion with those from EU countries spiking 77.3 percent to $2.48 billion.
New FDI pledges from Japan, on the other hand, plunged 48.6 percent on-year to $1.36 billion though Japan's total overseas investment shrank only by 1.3 percent in the January-June period, according to the ministry.
Despite a large increase in new FDI pledges, the amount actually arriving here dropped 9.3 percent on-year to $4.41 billion.
"New FDI, in terms of the amount arriving here, jumped significantly in the second quarter as geopolitical risks dwindled with additional uncertainties stemming from the country's economic policies also removed," the ministry said in a press release.
The relations between the divided Koreas quickly worsened following the North's launch of a long-range missile in December and its third nuclear test in February.
In the first quarter, the amount of FDI arriving here came to $1.47 billion. The amount doubled to $2.94 billion in the second quarter.

A growing body of literature links nutrition to mood, especially in epidemiological surveys, but there is little information characterizing food intake in people with diagnosed mood disorders.
Food intake obtained from 3-day food records was evaluated in 97 adults with mood disorders, whose diagnoses were confirmed in structured interviews. Information from a population nutrition survey, national guidelines for nutritional intakes (Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide) and North American dietary guidelines (Dietary Reference Intakes) was utilized to evaluate the quality of their food intake.
Compared to the regional nutrition survey data and national guidelines, a greater proportion of study participants consumed fewer of the recommended servings of grains (p < 0.001) and vegetables and fruits (p < 0.05), and less than the lower boundary of the Adequate Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for α-linolenic acid (p < 0.001). The study sample also had greater intakes of high-fat whole grain products (p < 0.01), processed meats (p < 0.00001), and higher sugar, fat or salty foods (p < 0.00001). Of the 1746 total meals and snacks consumed, 39% were from sources outside the home, suggesting a lack of time devoted to meal preparation. Finally, a subsample of 48 participants agreed to have blood tests: 44% had mild hypercholesterolemia (> 5.2 and ≤ 6.2 mmol/L) and 21% had hypercholesterolemia (> 6.2 mmol/L).
Much research has proposed multiple ways in which healthier diets may exert protective effects on mental health. The results of this study suggest that adults with mood disorders could benefit from nutritional interventions to improve diet quality.
Bipolar disorder and depression are associated with long-lasting disability and significant mortality through suicide, medical illness, and accidental death. As current pharmaceutical treatments have only partial benefit [1], other therapies such as nutritional interventions [2,3] continue to be investigated. Several lines of scientific evidence linking nutrition and mood exist. A substantial number of studies suggest that intake of the essential fatty acids can prevent psychotic disorders [4] or improve mood symptoms [5]. In addition, several nutrition-related concerns have been reported in mood disordered populations [6], such as low income, social isolation, presence of other health problems, drug-nutrient interactions, and suboptimal eating behaviours [7,8]. Finally, recent epidemiologic investigations of dietary intakes suggest the protective effect of better diet quality [9,10]. It appears that there is a compelling reason to examine dietary consumption in people with diagnosed mood disorders; however, to date, no studies have actually compared the intakes of this uniquely vulnerable group to nutritional standards.
The sampling frame for this study consisted of adult (> 18 years) members of the Mood Disorders Association of British Columbia (MDABC) who resided in BC's lower mainland. Using a computerized random number generation analysis tool, the names of 146 randomly selected MDABC adult members were drawn and sent a letter of invitation to participate in a cross-sectional survey of food intake (73 invited in the summer and 73 in the fall/winter). When an individual declined participation, the interviewer attempted to complete a non-response questionnaire asking about lifestyle habits.
When an individual agreed to participate, the research coordinator explained the study over the phone and trained the respondent to complete a three-day food record (reporting three non-consecutive days, two of which were weekdays and one was a weekend day). Participants were also asked if they would provide a blood sample to measure their cholesterol levels.
At the first appointment, participants read and signed the consent form approved by the University of Calgary's Conjoint Health Research Ethics Board. Then they met with a trained clinical interviewer who administered the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders [11], the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) Scale (GAF) [12] which measured social, occupational, and psychological functioning (scale of 0 to 100), the Hamilton Depression Scale (Ham-D) [13] and, the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) [14]. Those with conditions associated with psychotic symptoms, dementia, thyroid dysfunction, or neuro-degeneration were excluded. Eligible individuals were subsequently interviewed by a registered dietitian who reviewed the participant's food record, administered a validated food frequency questionnaire [15], and asked selected demographic and health related questions. The procedures for collecting dietary data followed that of the British Columbia Nutrition Survey (BCNS), a study of 1823 British Columbians aged 19-84 years. Detailed reports are available at http://www.health.gov.bc.ca/library/publications/year/2004/bcnutritionsurvey.
The software program Food Processor SQL [16], which contains the Canadian Nutrient File [17], was used to analyze the food data. The data were compared with the recommended serving ranges of the national guidelines for Canada, Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide (Food Guide) [18], the North American Dietary Reference Intakes [19], and data from the BCNS [15,20]. Components of the Dietary Reference Intakes that were used were 1) Adequate Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR): range of intakes for a particular energy source and expressed as a percentage of total energy intake that is associated with reduced risk of chronic disease while providing adequate intakes of essential nutrients, and 2) The Estimated Average Requirement (EAR): a nutrient intake value that is estimated to meet the requirements of half the healthy individuals in a group. If an EAR was not available, Adequate Intakes (AI) were used instead. The AI is a recommended daily intake level based on observed or experimentally determined approximations by a group (or groups) of healthy people [19].
Statistical comparisons between the sample and BCNS as well as analyses within the study group of socio-demographic variables, type of mood disorder and dietary attributes were carried out using Student's t-tests, Mann-Whitney two-sample statistics, binomial tests of two proportions, Pearson's or Spearman's rho correlations, and ANOVA where appropriate.
The overall response rate was 75% (number of participants/number of possibly eligible participants based on the initial phone screening). Of those who declined participation, 44% (11/25) answered the non-response survey: no differences in lifestyle variables (e.g., smoking) were found when compared to the respondents. Sociodemographic characteristics of the sample with comparisons to the BCNS are outlined in Table Table1.1. Slightly more than half of the sample had bipolar disorder (i.e., 59.8% had bipolar disorder and 40.2% had depressive disorder) with relatively high GAF scores (62.7 ± 14.7) suggesting most were only mildly to moderately impaired. The Ham-D scores indicated that 14 (14.4%) were severely depressed, 14 (14.4%) were experiencing moderate depressive symptoms, 44 (45.4%) were mildly depressed, and the remainder were asymptomatic. Based on YMRS scores, 2.6% (all females) were experiencing symptoms of mania. The sample tended to be overweight or obese (67% had a BMI ≥ 25). The main psychiatric medications taken by the sample included various antidepressants (72.9%) and mood stabilizers (52.9%).
Analysis of nutrient intakes and demographic attributes indicated significantly higher intakes of protein [F (3, 93) = 4.40, p < 0.05] and fibre [F (3, 93) = 3.07, p < 0.05] based on education, and significantly lower intakes for energy (t = -2.19, SE = 195.03, 95% CI = -815.01 to -40.63, p < 0.05) and fibre (t = -2.40, SE = 2.87, 95% CI = -12.60 to -1.19, p < 0.05) for those who were considered single (i.e., widowed, divorced, separated, or never married). All nutrients were also compared based on age (18 to 34, 35 to 49, and 50+ years for food group analysis and 19 to 30, 31 to 50 and 51 to 70 years for nutrient analysis to be consistent with the standards used). None of the study participants exceeded the age of 70; therefore the subsample of 1320 participants aged 19-70 from the full 1823 BCNS sample was used as the comparison group. Only 19% of participants indicated they were following a therapeutic diet; this subsample had significantly lower carbohydrate intake (255 g ± 103 vs 341 g ± 145; t = 2.40, p < 0.05, 95% CI 14.78 to 156.07).
Eighty-nine (92%) participants claimed to have heard of Canada's Food Guide, but less than one-third (n = 30; 31%) actually used it; there were no significant differences in major nutrient intakes between those who reported that they did and did not use the Food Guide. When compared to the 2007 Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide [18] (Table (Table2),2), intakes of the study sample within the recommended serving ranges of each of the food groups were significantly lower than the BCNS (p's < 0.05 to 0.0001) with the exception of milk and milk alternatives. Analyses according to age groupings and gender indicated significantly more males between the ages of 18 to 34 and 35 to 49 years ate less than the minimum recommendations for fruits and vegetables (p < 0.05) and grains (p < 0.001) compared to the BCNS. Significantly fewer females between the ages of 35 to 49 years consumed the recommended 5 to 12 servings of fruits and vegetables per day (p < 0.05) compared to the BCNS. There also tended to be more males across all age groups consuming less than 100 g of meat and alternatives per day (range of p < 0.05 to p < 0.0001). In summary, only 6.2% of the sample consumed the minimum recommended level of servings across all food groups. In order to meet the Food Guide standard, at least 45% of the sample needed to add 2-3 more daily servings of vegetables and fruit; about 15% required 2 extra grain servings daily (30% need 1 extra grain serving); and about half would need to add 1 serving/day of milk and alternatives.
Median energy intakes (kilocalories) of the study sample were 2520 (25th percentile 1920; 75th percentile 3050); there was slight under-reporting. The study sample had significantly higher total fat intakes (45% vs 19% of the BCNS, p < 0.0001) and lower α-linolenic acid intakes (91% vs 23% of BCNS, p < 0.001) (Table (Table2).2). Median α-linolenic intakes did not meet the AI of 1.6. grams/day for males and 1.1 g/day for females and intakes were consistently lower than the BCNS (Figure (Figure1).1). About 10% of the sample were below the EAR (0.66 g/kg/day) for protein, which is considered the minimum continuing intake of dietary protein required for body nitrogen equilibrium [19].
Age and gender analysis revealed that a significantly lower proportion of males (12%) between 31 to 50 years had fat intakes that were 30 to 35% of total calories (41% for BCNS). In addition, 2% (all females 51 to 70 years) were consuming less than the EAR for carbohydrates. Median carbohydrate intakes (grams) of females 19 to 30 years (488 vs 257, p < 0.05) and 31 to 50 years (326 vs 219, p < 0.05) were significantly higher than the BCNS. Only females 19 to 30 years met the AI for fibre. Fibre intakes may be underestimated by about 5 g/day, as inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides were not included [19].
Compared to the BCNS, the study sample had significantly greater intakes of less healthy foods such as high-fat whole grain products (e.g., granola cereals), processed meats, and higher sugar, fat or salt foods (range of p's < 0.01 to 0.00001) (Table (Table3).3). When comparing those who were and were not taking psychiatric medications, there were no differences found for food group, fat and sugar intakes. Participants were also asked about the frequency of meal and snack food intake from sources outside the home based on the three day food record. Of the 1746 total meals and snacks consumed, 11% were from fast food sources, 10% from vending machines or snack bars, 18% from restaurants, take-out or deli. When asked who prepared most of the foods they ate that day, males reported fewer food preparation days (n = 25/84; 29.8%) than females (199/207; 96.1%) (p < 0.0001).
Of the 48 participants who agreed to blood tests, 44% had mild hypercholesterolemia (> 5.2 and ≤ 6.2 mmol/L) and 21% had hypercholesterolemia (> 6.2 mmol/L). The prevalence of total cholesterol levels exceeding 5.2 mmol/L in the Canadian population is 41% [21]. Blood cholesterol levels did not differ based on psychiatric medication use, type of mood disorder or BMI status.
The primary aim of this study was to examine the quality of dietary intakes in adults with diagnosed mood disorders using comparisons to national and international nutrition standards as well as regional nutrition survey data. Our results were consistent with others [22] that have revealed many indications of poor diet quality in this population.
The low intakes of grains, vegetables and fruit, and meat and alternatives coupled with the high intakes of foods with excess sugar and fat may compromise mental health status [23,24]. Comparison of carbohydrate (main sources are plants) intakes with the AMDRs showed that more than a quarter of the sample (28%) were below the lower boundary; two participants consumed less than the EAR which is based on the amount needed to produce enough glucose for essential brain activities. About 10% of the sample had intakes of protein less than the EAR, suggesting that important neurotransmitter precursors such as tryptophan may be lacking in the diets of some individuals. Nutrients commonly associated with good mental health include polyunsaturated fatty acids (particularly the omega 3 types), minerals such as zinc, magnesium, and iron, a range of B vitamins particularly folate, and antioxidant vitamins such as C and E most of which are found in diets rich in dark green leafy and orange-coloured vegetables and whole grains. Evidence is accumulating that the combination of polyunsaturated fats, minerals and vitamins may help to relieve the symptoms of some mental illnesses and improve the effectiveness of medication for some conditions [25,26].
Closer examination of the intakes of the major nutrients suggests many implications for negative mental health effects in this population. The high total and saturated fat diets found in this sample have been associated with reduced hippocampal levels of neurotrophic factor, a crucial modulator of synaptic plasticity [27], which can induce cognitive dysfunction [28]. Low intakes of omega-3 fatty acids impair astrocyte-mediated vascular coupling that contributes to reduced gray matter volume in the prefrontal cortex [29] and research has suggested that lipid profiles comprising a low docosahexaenoic acid percentage and omega-3 proportions predicted risk of suicidal behaviour among depressed patients over a 2-year period [30]. The high proportion of participants with hypercholesterolemia (further suggesting excess fat intakes) also has mental health implications. Studies of people with elevated blood cholesterol levels have shown that global severity of psychological symptoms is worsened with high fat, low-complex carbohydrate diets [31]. Lipid-lowering medications are standard treatment for hypercholesterolemia, however, these drugs can form complexes with lipoproteins, alter the medication's pharmacokinetics and lead to deterioration of mental symptoms [32]; dietary interventions do not present these risks.
The limitations of this study include biases related to recall, sample selection (i.e., participants were drawn mainly from an urban sample of a non-profit network), and misclassification (i.e., with AMDRs). Males were under-represented, which may limit generalizability. The samples compared (i.e., study versus BCNS) did differ on some variables (e.g., income levels) that can affect food choice, however both samples were drawn based on random selection. Finally, this cross-sectional study cannot determine the temporal sequence of disease and nutrient intake.
One of the study's strengths is that it provided quantified comparisons of nutrient intakes to the general local population, which have never been reported previously for mood disorders. This investigation also determined the prevalence of various nutrition-related factors in a mood disorder sample and is therefore useful for future hypothesis generation and planning of health services.
Dietary intakes in this sample of adults with mood disorders tended to consist of a high proportion of foods associated with neuronal impairment (e.g., high fat, high sugar) and limited dietary components associated with neuro-protection (e.g., fibre, antioxidants). People with mood disorders have a greater frequency of poor diet for several reasons such as the occurrence of depressive episodes that exacerbate a sedentary lifestyle associated with lack of exercise, weight gain, and cardiovascular disease and diabetes risk, or manic episodes that may be associated with treatment non-adherence. Other factors such as food insecurity, co-existing medical problems, or substance use may also explain the association between mood disorders and poor nutrition status. The negative impact of poor dietary intake in individuals with mood disorders may be exacerbated by the fact that health providers are unlikely to discuss diet habits with them, according to patient report [33].
Based on these findings, it is evident that individuals with mood disorders would benefit from diet-specific interventions that go beyond familiarization with Canada's Food Guide to optimize health. However, there is lack of research indicating what types of nutrition-related programs would be most effective for individuals with serious mental disorders. Future directions in the area of diet in mental disorders should focus on interventions that include appropriate modification of the major nutrients and that increase foods offering neuroprotection and the investigation of their outcomes.

I have an early 2008 Macbook Pro (not sure on the exact model as I do not have it with me) which is having some interesting (annoying) power issues.
When the laptop runs flat and the machine turns off, I plug in the charger, and attempt to boot. Nothing. The machine will not turn on for roughly 30 mins, or until the battery is 20-25% charged.
Alternatively if I take out the battery and attempt to boot with the charger plugged in, but still no response.
I have recently purchased a new battery but the problem remains.
Any suggestions would be great!

What is the best editing tool for simple procedures. I do not manipulate pictures in anyway, except simple dark room stuff. I still shoot a lot of 6×45 film for my landscape. medium format still does a great job of capturing color. Dark room means things you used to do with film. I have Elements 9 on my old computer but have never used it. Panoramas and hdr does interest me a little. I'am interested in looking into larger prints, would a cheaper 24 pixel camera help here. EG Nikon 5300 or 3300. Thanks Old Ron Here.

Amsterdam Bar, Ao Plaaylaem
It's a bit of a hike up to this bar overlooking Ao Playlaaem — you'll have to climb a series of steps that'll make your thighs burn — but it'll be well worth it when you see the incredible vistas from the restaurant area. Sit back with a chilled cocktail or beer and ponder your day as you observe one of Ko Pha Ngan's late afternoon best panoramas. (T: (077) 238 477; http://www.amstardambar.com)
Haad Thian, West
This little-known beach is just south of Haad Salad, and has incredible sunset views without the crowds. The road is dirt much of the way, so be careful if you're travelling by motorbike. If you can find a spot up on the hill to watch the sunset, you'll get the best view of all.
Secret Beach, Haad Son
Secret Beach may not actually be much of a secret, with its name written on a brightly-coloured board in front of the road that leads to it (find it just south of Haad Yao), but it still has a quiet charm to it. Enjoy the sunset from the beach's family-owned bar and restaurant, which serves up Thai and Western dishes, as well as refreshing beers and cocktails. It sits alone on the beach, with the only other facility being a large hotel at the north end of the beach. Some of Ko Pha Ngan's most vibrant sunsets can be witnessed here.
Songserm Pier
Does your boat arrive or leave right when the afternoon ends? Don't fret about missing your last Ko Pha Ngan sunset; some stunning sunsets can be seen from Thong Sala pier. You may not see the sun sink into the sea, but the sky can be transformed with streaks of bright reds, purples and oranges.
The sun sets on the island between 18:00 and 19:00, so make sure you have a seat at whichever destination you choose before then, to ensure optimal viewing. Happy sunsetting!

Citizens' Academy
Program Details
The 10-week course is offered near the beginning of each year and involves two hours of training on Wednesday evenings with two optional Saturdays.
The intent is not to produce civilians trained in law enforcement, but to help residents and business owners become more familiar with the workings of their local Police Department and be better acquainted with its officers.
What to Expect
Participants are presented with frank and candid explanations of how each unit in the department functions and have the opportunity to ask questions of guest speakers.
There are no tests to pass and no educational credits earned, but participants gain a better understanding of the department's decision-making processes, how and why policies are created, and learn about the kinds of situations officers face every day. More importantly, citizens can determine more accurately how effective the department is in serving the community.
Here's a video from the 2015 class that may help illustrate what to expect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqtAO0_x8BI
Some of the topics covered include traffic enforcement, narcotics, investigations, criminal law, defensive tactics, and identity theft. Also included in the program is the opportunity to ride with an on-duty patrol officer, a tour of the 911 dispatch center, Kitap County Coroner's Office, and Kitsap County Jail.
What the department gains in good will cannot compare to the benefits community members gain by knowing more about the men and women who serve them.
Apply For The Next Class
It is not necessary to be a resident of Bainbridge Island to apply for the Citizens' Academy, although city residents are given first priority. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age, willing to make a 10-week commitment, and undergo a criminal background check. The next academy runs from Wednesday, February 3rd through Wednesday, April 6th, 2016. To sign up for this academy, fill out the application form and turn it in to the Police Station. The class will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Our mailing address is 625 Winslow Way East, Bainbridge Island, WA, 98110.

Mental Monky Ballet Rocking the St Pauls Church in association with the 12 step program The Stockholm based rock/alternative band Mental Monky Ballet, is invited to "rock the St Pauls Church apart"! When playing there in August this year, they performed a soft version of the MMB songs and the band was blown away by the powerful feeling the crowd radiated. Now it's time to crank it up loud and rock'n'roll - the way MMB usually hits the stage. Mental monky Ballet will deliver a powerful, sincere, melodic energetic and world class show. These are all frequent words from audiences in Sweden and from their recent tour around New York and Woodstock, US. Listen to and find out about MMB here: www.mentalmonkyballet.com The show is open for you and everybody else, and there will be a moment right in the middle of the show where you can get a glimpse of the so called 12 step program, The 12 step program is an independent, non religious, non political and non profitable organization of people helping people to personal developement. It has for many years boosted the spirit in individuals in need, often with difficult or even abusive situations. People who decides to do something about their lives for the purpose to heal and help others in the process. The program is practiced all over the world! Pelle xxxxxx, affectionate, Charismatic fellow human being, will be guiding you through this special and spiritual moment in time.

This time Mental Monky Ballet has been asked to "rock the St Pauls Church apart"! When playing there in August this year, they performed a soft version of the MMB songs, but now it's gonna be totally different. MMB was blown away by the powerful feeling the audience radiated. Listen to and find out about MMB here: www.mentalmonkyballet.com The show is open for you and everybody else but the main reason for the occasion is to bost the spirit in the AA people with a past in drugs and abuse. YEAH, this is going to be quite a different AA meeting and the experience from before is that it's going to be an intence and rocking vibe in the hall. The AA guys are on the path of finding out how to be "high on life" instead of "high on drugs" because it's the only way out of misery and selfabuse/abuse. For you who celebrate Christmas, this will be the perfect way to get in that special and sweet holliday mood. For everyone: You might wanna get in the rocking mood every day of the year!

"I listened to the EP. The title track "Into The Open" starts with a deceptively calm synth with the voice of an angel singing over it. Two lines of lyrics, almost whispered. Out of nowhere I am punched in the face by a galloping guitar and bass driven powerhouse sound that demands to be turned up loud. This song is crafted very well, and my favorite section is the slide guitar in the middle…didn't see that coming. I strongly urge you to view the Youtube video of this track. The last song on the EP is called "Get Around This." This is just plain good songwriting. The chord progression is dreamy and the mixing is very good, very clear and clean. Every one of the seven tracks is extremely well performed and the production is heavenly. I notice a very strong balance that presents itself in the vocals. My favorites: "Different" and "Get Around This." I would like to find the lyrics so I can be sure of what I'm hearing. I highly recommend you check these guys out."

Expert to examine Army deaths
An independent forensic consultant has been given permission to enter the Deepcut Barracks in Surrey to investigate the suspicious deaths of four soldiers there, the Ministry of Defence said last night.
The families who are employing Frank Swann, said the move was a major breakthrough in what they said was their search for the truth. They have been backed by MPs in their call for a public inquiry.
Mr Swann is to meet Army officers at the barracks on Monday to discuss how the examinations will be carried out.

Women scientists 'face institutional sexism'
Women scientists have gone "beyond the bottom-pinching stage" but still face "institutionally sexist" attitudes, the Government was told yesterday.
Britain cannot afford for women to leave science, said Lady Greenfield, an Oxford University professor and director of the Royal Institution.
Submitting a report on career prospects for women in science to Patricia Hewitt, the Trade and Industry Secretary, she said: "The future of Britain Ltd depends on keeping women in science."
The report highlighted bullying, isolation, lower research budgets and a lack of support for those returning from maternity leave as difficulties faced by women choosing scientific careers.
It recommended funding retraining and part-time or job-sharing incentives, and setting up a Working Science Centre to help employers bring more women into science and raise their profiles.
Club toasts female members
A Conservative Club that had its drinks licence revoked because it denied women full membership has agreed unanimously to change the rule.
All 104 members of Harrogate Conservative Club who attended a special meeting voted to allow women full voting rights in order to prevent a dry Christmas. Alan Peters, the club secretary, said: "I am delighted. We are moving forward and bringing the club into the 21st century."
Bush advert ban 'over-zealous'
Television regulators admitted yesterday that a commercial poking fun at George W Bush should not have been banned.
The Independent Television Commission conceded that the Broadcasting Advertising Clearance Centre may have been over-zealous in banning the advert, which was promoting a video of the ITV animated sketch show 2DTV.
The commission will call on the BACC, which vets commercials for the broadcasting industry, to be flexible when interpreting the ITC's advertising standards code.

Surgery for spoon-fed spaniel
Milly, an 11-year-old King Charles spaniel, has had a £750 operation to remove a six-inch silver teaspoon from her stomach.
Her owner, David Stanway, 61, a retired local government housing officer, from Crewe, Cheshire, said: "Milly is an extremely greedy dog and we can only think there must have been something extremely tasty on the spoon."

Patterns and uncertainties of species' range shifts under climate change
present address: W. Thuiller, Climate Change Research Group, Kirstenbosh Research Center, National Botanical Institute, P/Bag x7, Claremont 7735, Cape Town, South Africa, e-mail: email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
Although bioclimatic modelling is often used to estimate potential impacts of likely climate changes, little has been done to assess the reliability and variability of projections. Here, using four niche-based models, two methods to derive probability values from models into presence–absence data and five climate change scenarios, I project the future potential habitats of 1350 European plant species for 2050. All 40 different projections of species turnover across Europe suggested high potential species turnover (up to 70%) in response to climate change. However variability in the potential distributional changes of species across climate scenarios was obscured by a strong variability in projections arising from alternative, yet equally justifiable, niche-based models. Therefore, projections of future species distributions and derived community descriptors cannot be reliably discussed unless model uncertainty is quantified explicitly. I propose and test an alternative way to account for modelling variability when deriving estimates of species turnover (with and without dispersal) according to a range of climate change scenarios representing various socio-economic futures.

Check out the details below, via the event's Eventbrite page: Legalized marijuana is one of the fastest growing industries in America.

There are many ways to make cannabutter. I have seen people use methods with boiling water, with machines, with a pan on a stove, with machines, crockpots, and many other ways.

Pick a way that suits your needs and go with it. High Times recently released a series of videos showing different methods of making butter, and compared the results.

OK, I'm studying the shot of the promo pic, and I'm wondering about the pots to the left of the quads. The orange and pink ones are the same size, while the reddish brown one is bigger. Are the orange and pink ones cream color bases and the reddish brown is a blush, or maybe the opposite? Anyone have any insight?

I'm actually a little WTF about including Kissables here along with lipsticks AND Tendertones AND Cremeblend blushes. Cremeblend blush is something I'd expect to come around about once a year or so, like lip gelees. It's a popular product that lots of people like, but has a certain seasonal aspect to it. Same thing for Tendertones, if not more so. To also stick Kissables in there with these once a year, seasonal things, cluttered up on top of them in a huge collection doesn't seem right to me, considering it's much less of a seasonally oriented finish and it's such a good product on its own. Why lump it in together, rather than building a separate collection around them where people will come out for them specially? It seems like they'd just get lost in the mix like this.
After thinking it over, my only explanation is that perhaps we're going to see more Kissables more often as a compliment to a variety of collections, like how it's already done with Cremesheen Glasses. I really hope this is the explanation, at least! I frikken love them so much.

Stargazer, no offense, but I would hate to mop up code after you. What M.Hirsch & Scorpions4ever has told you holds true for the entire industry. How can everyone else be wrong except for you?
I don't know of a teacher who would accept that and I definately don't know of a project team leader that would accept that either.
