Latest update October 28th, 2016 12:30 AM
Johnson should return for next game in Barbados
By Sean Devers
Chairman of the Guyana senior cricket selection panel Rayon Griffith disclosed that experienced Test batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who has played more Tests for the West Indies than any other player, will be back in Guyana's line-up for tomorrow's third round game at the Guyana National Stadium against the Windward Islands.
The 35-year-old Griffith, who captured 56 wickets from 22 First-Class matches for Guyana, told Kaieteur Sport yesterday that original Captain Leon Johnson, who was ruled out from Guyana's first three matches due to a knee injury, will be back for the fourth round match against CCC in Barbados.
However, former Test batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan who has not played for Guyana since the Regional Super50 in Trinidad & Tobago due to illness, was forced to pull out of the opening round four-day game in Jamaica because of a back injury, has to submit a medical report to the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) and could miss most, if not all of the matches in the 2014 Four-Day tournament.
Chanderpaul, the second highest West Indian run-scorer in Tests behind Brian Lara, who was also forced out of the first two games due to a thumb injury replaces Chanderpaul Hemraj in the only change to the squad.
According to Griffith, promising Essequibian fast bowler Ronsford Beaton who suffered a side strain while batting in Jamaica and missed the last match against Barbados, should be fit for the next overseas day/Night match from March 21 in Barbados.
In the absence of Sarwan and Johnson, Narsingh Deonarine, who made a double duck in Guyana's embarrassing defeat to Barbados in their last match, has been playing at this level since 1999 and with Nine First-Class tons to his name, joins 39-year-old Chanderpaul as the two most successful batsmen for Guyana.
Although Assad Fudadin and Vishal Singh batted resolutely in the second innings in Jamaica when Guyana reached 264, Guyana's woeful batting in the first innings of both of their games has resulted in them entering tomorrow's game against the Islanders at the bottom of the points table.
In the first game Guyana just managed 117 while in the second match they lost all 10 of their wickets for 48 runs to collapse from 92-0. This is the aspect of Guyana's cricket this year that's causing the most worry for the Guyana camp and Griffith is hoping that Chanderpaul's return should bring better batting results for the local team.
"Chanderpaul's return should lift the batting, especially in terms of temperament and shot selection since I am very disappointed with the way we have batted in the first innings of both games even when we had a 92-run stand for the first wicket in our last match but we still could not reach 150," Griffith lamented.
"We have basically had to play catch up cricket and so far we have not got a single batting point which is only available in the first innings. I am worried about the impact t20 cricket is having on the mentally of our young players" Griffith stated.
"Our bowlers have done a reasonable job for us but batsmen continue to get themselves out with rash shots and I am sure that now Shiv is back the mental side of our batting should improve" Griffith concluded.
Apart from Fudadin, Singh and Tagenarine Chanderpaul none of the other batsmen have batted for any significant length of time in this series and this has contributed to Guyana's poor performances so far.
The Guyanese had a practice session yesterday at the National Stadium where they also did some running and played a game of football. Griffith said that team spirit is still high despite the results. He added that the bringing forward of the match by a day due to the Holiday on Monday takes away some of the recovery time for the players.

Motorola patent suit against Apple thrown out
The U.S. International Trade Commission has thrown out the last patent-in-suit remaining in the original complaint against Apple from Google's Motorola Mobility in Oct. 2010. A Motorola patent for a "sensor controlled user interface for portable communication device" was found invalid. In December, Apple also won a ruling over Motorola, as Apple was found not to violate another patent. Google is currently appealing a decision to throw out three other patents; this new decision can also be appealed. [via FOSS Patents]

Basilar membrane nonlinearity and loudness103(1998); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.421379View Description Hide Description
Loudness matching functions for tones for persons with one shifted-threshold ear (hearing loss and noise-shifted thresholds) and one ear within normal limits were used to derive the presumed basilar membrane (BM) input–output (I/O) function in a normal ear. The comparison was made by assuming that the BM I/O function for the ear with the cochlear threshold shift has a slope of one (a linearized cochlea). The function for the normal ear was derived from the loudness matching function based on this assumption. Comparisons were made for archival basilar membrane data [M. A. Ruggero, N. C. Rich, A. Recio, S. S. Narayan, and L. Robles, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 101, 2151–2163 (1997)] for chinchilla and archivalloudness matches for long-duration tones for persons with various degrees of cochlear hearing loss [F. Miskolczy-Fodor, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 32, 486–492 (1960)]. Comparisons were made also between BM I/O functions and ones derived from loudness matches for persons with unilateral hearing loss simulated by broadband noise. The results show a close resemblance between the basilar membrane I/O function and the function derived from loudness matches for long-duration tones, even though the comparison was between human and chinchilla data. As the degree of threshold shift increases from 40 to 80 dB, the derived BM I/O functions become shallower, with slopes for losses of 60 dB or more falling in the range of values reported for physiological data. Additional measures with short-duration tones in noise show that the slope of the loudness function and the slope of the derived basilar membrane I/O function are associated with the behavioral threshold for the tone. The results for long-duration tones suggest a correspondence between BM displacement and loudness perception in cases of recruitment, but the relation between the degree of loss and the amount of BM compression and the relation between signal duration and compression suggests that other factors, such as the neural population response, may play a role.
Interactions of forward and simultaneous masking in intensity discrimination103(1998); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.421373View Description Hide Description
Intensity coding mechanisms are explored in a paradigm involving both forward and simultaneous masking. For intensity discrimination of 1000-Hz pure tone in quiet, a near-miss to Weber's law is observed. However, as more stimulus components are added to this relatively simple experiment, interactions among components produce a more complex pattern of results. An intense forward masker, while not causing any threshold shift for the test tone, produces a nonmonotonic intensity discrimination function ["the midlevel hump," Zeng et al., Hearing Res. 55, 223–230 (1991)]. The midlevel hump can be removed by the presence of additional notched noise [Plack and Viemeister, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 92, 1902–1910 (1992)] or narrow-band noise whose level is increased along with the test tone's standard level. The same midlevel hump can also be enhanced by a fixed-low-level notched noise or a high-level, high-pass noise which causes minimal masking at the test frequency. Interactions of forward masking and simultaneous masking present a serious problem for a clear interpretation of these results. For example, the notched noise was originally intended to restrict off-frequency listening, but on-frequency masking compromised this original purpose and confounded the interpretation of the notched noise effects. By measuring systematically the growth-of-masking functions, the present study identified various interactions of forward and simultaneous masking and clarified the role of off-frequency listening in forward-masked intensity discrimination. Both peripheral and central mechanisms may have contributed to the occurrence, reduction and enhancement of the midlevel hump under these masking conditions.
Intensity discrimination for precedence effect stimuli103(1998); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.421350View Description Hide Description
When two identical stimuli are presented from two loudspeakers with a brief delay between them, a single image is heard near the source of the leading sound. The delayed sound or echo appears to be suppressed whereas the preceding sound determines perceived location, hence the name, the precedence effect. This study investigated normal-hearing listeners' sensitivity to changes in the intensity of the lagging sound. Pairs of 2-ms white noise bursts, with a 2-ms delay between the onsets of lead and lag, were presented from two loudspeakers 45° left and right of midline in an anechoic chamber. A 2AFC procedure was used to test discrimination of intensity changes in the lead, lag, and both sounds together. The untreated results showed discrimination to be poorest for changes in the lag stimulus. However, when the intensity differences were transformed into predictions of equivalent monaural level based on KEMAR measurements and binauralloudness summation, discrimination for the lag was equal to the other two conditions. A follow-up experiment found that listeners were highly sensitive to the presence of the lag, more sensitive than would be predicted from loudness changes. It is concluded that the precedence effect does not consist of a general suppression or attenuation of the lagging sound, but rather that suppression may be limited to directionality cues.
Ripple density resolution for various rippled-noise patterns103(1998); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.421351View Description Hide Description
Ripple-density resolution was measured in normal humans using rippled noise with a phase-reversal test. The principle of the test was to find the highest ripple density at which an interchange of spectral peak and trough positions (the phase reversal) is detectable. Different rippled noise patterns were used: (i) either frequency-proportional or constant ripple spacing; (ii) various bandwidth; and (iii) either steep or shallow slopes of the spectrum envelope. When tested with frequency-proportional rippled noise, ripple-density resolution as expressed in relative units (the center frequency to ripple spacing ratio) little depended on frequency within a range of 1 to 8 kHz: from 11.4 at 1 kHz to 14.9 at 8 kHz, mean 13.1. These values were virtually independent on noise bandwidth. When tested with constant ripple spacing, the resolution was of similar values taking the relative ripple density at the lower part of the passband. Being measured by noise with steep spectral edges, the resolution was five units higher than it was for shallow-enveloped spectra, thus suggesting some edge effects at the spectrum boundaries. The resolution values obtained were about twice higher than those predicted by peripheral auditory filter tuning.
Temporal processing of the pitch of complex tones103(1998); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.421352View Description Hide Description
The effect of tone duration on fundamental frequency discrimination is greater for complexes containing unresolved harmonics than for those containing resolved harmonics [Plack and Carlyon, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 98, 1355–1364 (1995)]. Three experiments explored this effect further. The first experiment measured sensitivity (as ) to fundamental frequency differences for two complexes, both with an of 250 Hz. The first complex was low-pass filtered at 1875 Hz to create a resolved complex and the second was bandpass filtered between 5500 and 7500 Hz to create an unresolved complex. The harmonics for the resolved complex were selected so that no two harmonics were the same between the two observation intervals. Performance for both complexes was measured for tone durations of 20, 40, 80, and 160 ms. For the unresolved complex, the effect of duration was greater than that for the resolved complex and greater than the predictions of a "multiple-looks" model assuming either peripheral (before sampling) or central (after combining samples) sources of variance. The second experiment replicated these results using an of 62.5 Hz with the cutoff frequencies of the bandpass filters divided by four, confirming that the effect is related to resolvability and not to spectral region. In the final experiment, discrimination for pairs of complexes separated by a temporal gap was measured relative to that for one complex. Performance for the resolved and unresolved complexes was similar: Very little effect of gap duration was observed and the results were consistent with the predictions of the peripheral-variance multiple-looks model. Taken together, the results suggest that the pitch mechanism for resolved harmonics uses a relatively short sampling window of around 20 ms, while the mechanism for unresolved harmonics may use a more complex strategy for optimizing the combination of information over time, perhaps involving a flexible integration time.
"Central" auditory gap detection: A spatial case103(1998); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.421353View Description Hide Description
Normal listeners were tested for their temporal auditory gap detection thresholds using free-field presentation of white-noise stimuli delivered from the left (L) and right (R) poles of the interaural axis. The noise bursts serving as the leading and trailing markers for the silent period were presented in either the same (LL,RR) or different (LR,RL) auditory locations. The duration of the leading marker was a second independent variable. Gap thresholds for stimuli in which the markers had the same location were low, and usually were independent of the duration of the leading marker. Gap thresholds for the LR and RL conditions were longer. These gap thresholds were sensitive to the duration of the leading marker, and increased as the leading marker duration decreased. This finding is consistent with the hypothesis that a relative timing operation mediates gap detection when the markers activate different perceptual channels. The present data suggest that this timing process can operate on perceptual channels emerging from central nervous system processing.
Inter-individual differences in binaural detection of low-frequency or high-frequency tonal signals masked by narrow-band or broadband noise103(1998); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.421378View Description Hide Description
Detection thresholds for either 500-Hz tones or 4-kHz tones were measured for a group of 19 listeners utilizing the interaural configurations NoSo and NoSπ. Both broadband (100–8500 Hz) noises and narrow-band (50-Hz-wide) noises served as maskers. In addition, direct measures of the listeners' sensitivities to changes in interaural temporal differences (ITDs) and interaural intensitive differences (IIDs) were measured using 400-Hz-wide noises centered at 500 Hz or 4 kHz. A rather large range of inter-individual differences in threshold was observed for 4-kHz tonal signals masked by narrow-band noise in the NoSπ configuration. This result is consistent with several sets of data from our previous experiments conducted over more than a decade. A broad range of thresholds was also obtained for 500-Hz tonal signals masked by narrow-band noise in the NoSπ configuration. This outcome, coupled with the fact that the use of a broadband masker did not yield a large distribution of thresholds for the detection of a 500-Hz tone masked by a broad band of noise, suggests that it is the use of a narrow-band masker, per se, that results in a large range of thresholds. Statistical analyses revealed that thresholds in the NoSπ detection tasks were not highly correlated with thresholds measured in the ITD- and the IID-discrimination tasks. Nevertheless, the five listeners who were the most sensitive in the narrow-band NoSπ detection and the five listeners who were the least sensitive in the narrow-band NoSπ detection tasks were those who were the most and least sensitive, respectively, to changes in ITDs and to changes in IIDs.
Binaural signal detection with phase-shifted and time-delayed noise maskers103(1998); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.421354View Description Hide Description
Detection thresholds were measured for interaurally in-phase sinusoids added to a narrow-band dichotic noise masker which was either interaurally phase shifted (NπSo condition) or time delayed (NτSo condition). The signals were spectrally centered in the noise bands and the delay τ equaled half the signal period. Both conditions were tested at 125 and 500 Hz for noise bandwidths of 10, 25, 50, and 100 Hz. In addition, NoSπ and NoSo thresholds were obtained. In contrast to expectations based on the EC theory, no differences in detection thresholds were observed between thresholds in phase-shifted and time-shifted maskers. The results also cannot be explained on the basis of more recent binauralmodels. The stimuli presented here might therefore serve as a useful validation tool in the development of new binaural theories and models.
Effects of sensorineural hearing loss on interaural discrimination and virtual localization103(1998); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.421355View Description Hide Description
Cross-frequency binaural processing was investigated in listeners with normal hearing (NH) and with bilateral high-frequency sensorineural hearing impairment (IH). In experiment 1 just-noticeable-differences for interaural time and interaural intensity were measured using -octave narrow-band noises (NBNs) centered at 0.5 and 4 kHz. These stimuli were presented in isolation and in different cross-frequency interaural combinations. IH listeners displayed the best interaural time discrimination when the 0.5-kHz NBN was dichotic and the best intensity discrimination when both bands were dichotic. Both NH listeners (time) and IH listeners (time and intensity) displayed the poorest interaural discrimination when the NBNs were presented simultaneously with interaural differences in only the 4-kHz NBN (0.5 kHz NBN diotic). Localization accuracy was measured in experiment 2 using the 0.5- and 4-kHz NBNs in isolation and with 0.5-kHz target/4-kHz interferer and 4-kHz target/0.5-kHz interferer conditions. Best localization of NH and IH subjects was seen for the 0.5-kHz target, with or without an interferer. Poorest localization of IH subjects was observed for the 4-kHz target and 0.5-kHz interferer. Results suggest that for these IH subjects, localization is most difficult when they are forced to rely on interaural information in a higher-frequency region with conflicting interaural information at low frequencies.
Diotic and dichotic detection using multiplied-noise maskers103(1998); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.421356View Description Hide Description
Detection thresholds were measured with a multiplied-noise masker that was in phase in both ears and a sinusoidal signal which was either in phase or out of phase (NoSo and NoSπ conditions). The masker was generated by multiplying a low-pass noise with a sinusoidal carrier. The signal was a sinusoid with the same frequency as the carrier and a constant phase offset, ϑ, with respect to the carrier. By adjusting the phase offset, the stimulus properties were varied in such a way that only interaural time delays or interaural intensity differences were present within the NoSπ stimulus. Thresholds were measured at a center frequency of 4 kHz as a function of bandwidth for and for In a second experiment thresholds were measured for a bandwidth of 25 Hz as a function of the center frequency. The results show that narrow-band BMLDs at 4 kHz can amount to 30 dB for the condition. For this condition, narrow-band BMLDs are also reasonably constant across frequency, in contrast to results obtained with standard Gaussian-noise maskers. For BMLDs are restricted to the frequency region below 2 kHz provided that the masker is narrow band, but BMLDs of up to 15 dB are found at 4 kHz if the masker is 50 Hz or wider. The frequency dependence of the binaural thresholds seems to be best explained by assuming that the stimulus waveforms are compressed before binaural interaction.
Radio frequency hearing: Electrostrictive detection and bone conduction103(1998); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.423111View Description Hide Description
A hearing aid patented by C. R. Schafer and supposedly based on detection of an amplitude-modulated carrier wave in the auditory cortex was re-examined. It is shown here that the hearing aid actually works by bone conduction of sound. It is concluded that detection of the modulation signal occurs by electrical nonlinearities and electrostriction in the bones of the face and skull.

However, the rate of surveys i received once i completed over 40 surveys, seems to have fallen drastically. One significant plus point - at least for me in Singapore, is that paypal rewards are credited sometimes within just a few hours, to at the longest 3-5 days. In around 4-5 months i've joined, i'm cashed out around $85. Not too bad.
This Site Is Owned By Survey Sampling International.They Rip People Off And Do Not Pay Money They Owe People.Do Not Waste Your Time.
This site I think is a sister site of Opinion Out Post. I was getting plenty of surveys with no compensation except for charity. Then I would get an onslaught of surveys worth 100 points each, most I didn't qualify for. Then I've gotten several survey invites which I've done, between 100-450 points each, spent 30-40 minutes doing the entire survey and go to submit only for the web page to say after all that I didn't qualify. That'll bring my opinion of a survey site down real quick! Nothing worse than spending all that time doing a survey only to not be compensated for actually doing it
Got my account terminated with more than a 1000pts(which worth more than 150 hkd which is like 20bucks) without any explanation and notices (yes! not even an email) send email to the helpdesk no one ans.
later I checked the policy I signed to in the first place, apparently they have the lawful right to terminate ur account with or WITHOUT any reason and dont need to notify u
I am absolutely appalled by the number of surveys that I have done which have led to technical error messages from the client site, which have precluded me from receiving my incentive. When you contact the panel, they respond with carbon copy emails, which shows they haven't really considered the SPECIFIC incident that you've raised with them.
It's also worth noting that for many surveys that last 20-25 minutes, you are credited a tiny 50p! Absolutely terrible!
Also, last year, I did an SMS study for about a week, in which I shared my experiences with mobile networks via text. During the screening study, I was told I would get about £5 upon completion of the study. After complaining to the panel about my lack of reimbursement several times, they have done NOTHING about it! How dare they!? This is robbery!
Avoid them at all costs.

If you know of or witnessed a newsworthy event this How To will tell you how to write it up using an accepted, classic form known as the inverted pyramid format and submit your story for publication.
Things You'll Need
- Notebook and a pen or pencil
- Word processor program
Using your notebook write down everything you know about the event. Always get your six best friends-who, what, when, where, why and how. Get as many details as you can and write down everything, even what you think you'll remember. I can not stress this enough-take copious notes.
If you think of any information that seems to be missing from your notes, try to find it out. Ask questions of the people involved or any witnesses. Being a reporter is a lot of investigative work and the little details can make the difference between a page six blurb and a half front-page story.
Make your notes a list and reorganize them in order of importance, from most important to least important. Eliminate any redundant notes and combine them where possible. Two notes reading, "Hit by a car," "15 year old was driving," and "Foot run over," could be reduced by eliminating the first one-that information is given in the other two-and combing the other two into "15 year old driver ran over a pedestrian's foot."
One popular form of writing taught to journalists is called the inverted pyramid format. This style is accomplished by imagined a triangle, point down. This triangle is your news item. At the top of the triangle-the wide base-is the most important information in the story. That is the first paragraph. When someone reads that first paragraph they should understand the facts of the event and the focus of the article, as well as whether or not they want to continue reading. Who, What, When, Where, How and Why should be included in this first paragraph, or "lead."
Continuing down the upside-down triangle, the next section of your story will add more relevant details about the event. These details should help people get a deeper understanding of the event, as well as keeping them interested.
The next section of the article can have more details of interest to wrap up the story followed by relevant statistics, contact information or related information.
After you've written your article, checked the facts and made sure it's not rife with typos you can submit it to the newspapers for publication. Pick up copies of the papers you want to submit it to, find the masthead-that's the list of editorial personnel-and email the article to an editor that covers the subject of your article or follow their submission guidelines. If they don't list their email address call the office and ask to whom you should submit articles.
Only submit the article to one newspaper at a time. The waiting is the hardest part and, if the article is time sensitive, you may want to include in your submission a time limit. You can say, "Please respond by [this date] if you are interested." That's a gamble, but it does cover you if you need to submit your story elsewhere. Once you have a relationship with an editor the submission process will become much easier.
Tips & Warnings
- Your lead should be completely factual and no-frills, but as interesting as possible.
- Newspapers like dense writing when reporting the news. Fill your article with fact, no opinion of yours.
- Active, tense writing makes for good reading and is more likely to get you printed.
- Take pictures! A good picture can sell a story, and also proves you're not just making it up.

MILWAUKEE -- In 49 states, when you order breakfast in a restaurant you might be asked if you would like pancakes or an omelet.

Colleges Should Encourage -- Not Suppress -- A Diversity Of Viewpoints
WASHINGTON -- A specter is haunting academia, the specter of specters -- ghosts, goblins and "cultural appropriation" through insensitive Halloween costumes. Institutions of higher education are engaged in the low comedy of avoiding the agonies of Yale.
Last October, the university was rocked to its 315-year-old foundations by the wife of a ...Read more
A Judicial Slap To A Careless Congress
WASHINGTON -- Another small step was taken last week on the steep and winding ascent back to constitutional norms. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, the nation's second-most important court, did its judicial duty by reprimanding Congress for abandoning constitutional propriety.

A Trotter tribute in three courses this week at Prodigal, in Walker's Point
Guests at Prodigal Gastropub in Walker's Point this week can try three-course dinners that pay tribute through his recipes to the influential Chicago chef Charlie Trotter, who died Nov. 5.
Prodigal chef Van Luu, who worked for Trotter from 2006-'09, said he chose three dishes he distinctly remembers from his time there: slow-poached escolar with red bell pepper purée, French beans, Nicoise olive sorbet, 8-hour egg and pickled shallots; duck breast, confit and consommé with five-spice rice puff, oyster mushrooms and red wine-braised bitter gourd; and poached quince with rosemary shortbread crumble and sesame ice cream. »Read Full Blog Post

Fullsteam Chatham County Paw Paw
RATINGS: 7 MEAN: 3.66/5.0 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.4/5 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 243 ABV: 8.1%
Forager Series
Paw Paw (Asimina triloba) is the largest edible tree fruit native to North America but you may have never seen one before. The nondescript trees grow in wet, shady groves, often along the banks of rivers. Paw paws taste like mango-meets-butterscotch-meets-banana. In other words, theyre delicious. But the fruits notorious short shelf life keeps them from being commercially viable.We forage for wild paw paws around Jordan Lake, and a few North Carolina foragers who know the fruit bring us their harvest.
Most of our paw paws come from the amazing Wynn Dinssen, owner of Full of Life Farms in Chatham County. Hes a modern Johnny Pawpawseed. In the late summer of 2013, we collected over 300 pounds of native paw paw and froze it, waiting until this years paw paw harvest to release the beer. The sweet, tropical notes of the paw paw matched up wonderfully with the Belgian Goldens notes of fruit and spice and the spicy Jarrylo hops.
Availability: FALL. 8.1% ABV.

Since the demise of the old security thread, and the number of frequently asked I thought it might be a good idea to start a new 'Afghan FAQ' thread attempting to cover the most frequently asked questions and provide up to date information in one thread on not only security, but the most frequently asked questions about flights, travelling the Khyber pass and the classic 'is it safe?', since so many gems of information get lost in individual threads.
Hopefully everyone here, both our regulars…
I am considering to go in Afghanistan mid-November. I look to go with a tour but it is way too expensive...
How easy/safe it is to travel as a solo backpacker. I'm a 36 yo canadian and traveled in about over 50 countries so far.
I would like to spend a bit of time in Kabul, than drive to Mazar-E-Sharif, visit Balkh and maybe give a shot to Panjshir valley. (Try fly fishing maybe)
What should I expect as a budget if I travel solo. Anything I should really visit apart from what I'm…
What health insurance can you advice for when staying in Afghanistan?
has anybody fixed a visa at the Afgan embassy in Tehran ? i have emailed them and no response.
Any idea how long it takes and if i need any letter of invitation ? thanks
Hello guys,
I am a documentary photographer from Taiwan, im looking forward going to Afghanistan in the near future.
As i ilke to take street photos, could i just hold the camera on my hand all the way on the street in city like Kabul or Herat?
Or should i hide it as much as i can? (Or most of the time whild i am not using?)
Because i read lots information here, people said these cities are safe, but i am not sure if i can just bring a DSLR hanging around the city? Even with a big black…
Hello hello helpful people,
I'm planning a trip through Afghanistan around late September/early October. I'm combing all of the existing threads here for general trip planning information, but I haven't found very much on what I'm most curious about: traveling in Afghanistan as a female!
I'm mostly curious as to what I should be wearing (headscarf? burqa? muumuu?) and if there's anything in particular I should be cautious of or keep in mind. For a bit of context, I'll be traveling around with…
Hi friends!
Me and my friend will go to Afghanistan monts later. Want to stay about 10-12 days and see some different places. I read interesting things about Andhoi, Samangan and Sorobi. We want go here.
Is anyone been at this places last monts? How is it? And can you recommend places to sleep in this cities... We find nothing in Couchsurfing...
We arrive at Kabul about 20.30... In this time we can only use a private taxi to the center? How much it should be?
Speaking in total, what is better…
Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has any feedback in relation to getting an Afghan tourist visa in Mashhad?
I'm curious to know if it was successful and if so how long it took to obtain including cost?
Hello everyone!
Basically I want to know is it feasable hahaha. We are planning on entering Afghanistan from the wakhan and then ride down to Torkham in an effort to cross into Pakistan. What is the current security situation and does anyone know if some good routes? I understand it isnt the most incredibly safe thing to do but how does that region compare to others? Would it be smarter to pay for transport for the horses and drive? Thank you all for your help, hope to get an answer soon.
I have written a trip report for Jun-Jul 2016. I have never written one so any feedback would be helpful, e.g. any additional information that a traveller would be useful but I didn't include.

text: I'm not discriminating against the city folks, but their carry handgun requirements may be different. How many of you may change and carry a different handgun according to what you are doing? I just thought about this because I just got done bushhogging and have on my Ruger NV .45 in a merkle highrise holster. It's cool today, so I can put on my denim jacket to go get some diesel fuel and stay ccw, but have it in the field if I need it. If I have on my coveralls, I have a Uberti .45 sheriff (no ejector) birdshead that fits in my right pocket perfectly. This summer when it was so hot, my town gun is a KelTec PF-9 in a pocket holster, cargo pants or shorts, or Levi Dockers. My Glock 22 is for when I can wear a coat or suit and for trips to the big city.It is also my bedside gun because it has a light and laser on it. (Dark out here) During squrriel hunting (until it get colder), I have a .22 Single Action I carry with the full brass crimped snake loads just in case old copper is around. So I realized I may change and carry 2 or more different guns in one day according to what the day brings. Can anyone relate?

Cobourn primed for good run at Chico
August 15, 2014
Andrew Cobourn knows he has a long way to go entering his sophomore cross country season at California State University, Chico.
Then again, the 2012 Douglas High School graduate couldn't be more excited as he comes off a strong summer of training. Cobourn, in all likelihood, has never been in better shape.
That was evident by his recent runner-up finish at the highly-challenging Squaw Valley Mountain Run, where he completed the 3.6-mile distance — and 2,000-foot vertical climb — in a time of 29 minutes, 43 seconds. He only trailed the winner, J.P. Donovan, by 15 seconds on a course where dipping below 30 minutes is considered a significant achievement.
"So far, I'd say I'm really excited for my cross country season," Cobourn said. "I've been on a training program and putting the miles in."
Some of those miles have been logged on training runs at Lake Tahoe, where he has worked this summer at Sand Harbor as a life guard. And his supervisor just happens to be Donovan, a three-time Squaw Valley race winner.
"We did train together a bunch this summer and he showed me a lot of the trails up there," Cobourn said. "It's definitely a friendly rivalry since he's my boss."
Cobourn was leading with just a quarter-mile to go at Squaw Valley, however, he was unable to hold off Donovan over the sandy and uphill stretch run.
"I just didn't have enough gas left in the tank at the end," Cobourn said. "J.P. is such a natural athlete. The last quarter-mile is pretty sandy; he said if he was close at the end, he would get me in the sand."
Cobourn did come away with one nice consolation. His time was a personal record on the course by more than a minute. He also ran 53:42 on June 8 in the Bay Area at the challenging Dipsea Race, 7.5-mile trail from Mill Valley to Stinson Beach — a three-minute improvement from his effort in that race in 2013.
Add to that the personal best time of 15:10.53 for 5,000 meters he ran in April on the track for Chico State, and it's easy to see why Cobourn is upbeat about the coming cross country season.
Then again, Chico State features a highly competitive cross country program that expects to be extra strong this fall. The Wildcats have won 12 straight California Collegiate Athletic Association titles and h15 consecutive top-10 finishes at the NCAA Division II Championships, and now feature a bumper crop of incoming community college and high school recruits.
"The team is so stacked," Cobourn said. "I'm trying to work myself into the top seven, or even top 10. My real goal is to be in the top seven. It may not happen this year, but that's the goal I'm working toward. I just want to move up and make contributions to the team."
Sadie Gastelum, another 2012 Douglas grad, also returns to Chico State after a stellar redshirt freshman season in 2013, as she ran for the Wildcats at the NCAA nationals, placed 26th at the West Region Championships and 18th at the conference meet. She ran a personal best of 22:39.91 for 6 kilometers at the University of Washington's Sundogger Invitational. Chico State is also the seven-time defending CCAA champion.
The Wildcats open their season on Sept. 27 at two meets, at the Stanford Invitational and the Willow Hills Open in Folsom, Calif.

Corsair Nova V128 SSD review -
Corsair V128 Series SATA II 2.5" SSD - 128GB
Corsair V128 Series SATA II 2.5" SSD - 128GB
Roughly three maybe four weeks ago during CeBIT 2010 Corsair added a new product in its performance Series SSD family: V series, NOVA, a high-performance solid-state drive, two Nova's models are currently available.
- V128 under SKU CSSD-V128GB2-BRKT 128GB SATA II 3.0Gb/s
- V64 under SKU CSSD-V64GB2-BRKT 64GB SATA II 3.0Gb/s
The performance of the 64GB SSD is rated at 270/130MB/Sec (Read/Write), while the 128GB SSDs are rated at an impressive 270 read and 130MB/sec write performance (sequential).
Check out the features
- Available in 64GB and 128GB and 256GB capacities
- 64MB Onboard Cache
- Seek Time: <.1ms
- Slim 2.5" Design
- 99.8 x 69.63 x 9.3mm
- Lightweight 80g
- Operating Temp: 0C ~ 70C
- Storage Temp: -45C ~ +85C
- Low Power Consumption: 2W operation, 0.5W standby
- Shock Resistant 40G
- MTBF 1 million hours
- 2-Year Warranty
Let's focus on some of the more important aspects and features of the drive, as there definitely are some things you guys needs to be aware of.
The Nova uses Indilinxs latest version of the Barefoot controller which is labeled under the ECO series. The ECO is a slightly revised and tweaked controller that adds support for new NAND memory types, namely new 34nm memory. For this specific SSD the memory comes from Micron and not Samsung.
The new 34nm NAND Flash memory is apparently cheaper to manufacture, thus cheaper for companies to implement, and for you as a consumer cheaper to purchase.
The read and write speed for the tested 128GB model are advertised at 270 MB/sec read and 195MB/sec write performance, which makes the product position itself in the upper mainstream to high-end SSD segment. Good performance at a better price. Oh, and the V series comes from Nova.
The Indilinx Barefoot ECO controller is paired with 64MB of Elpida cache memory. Why is that so important you ask -- that 'cache memory?'. Well, if you do not have cache and need to write a lot of really small files (1 to 4KB files) simultaneously these drives started to choke up every now and then, your a-typical data bottleneck within a storage unit. Large data-caches solve that issue very well.
So a big help totally bypassing the small files issue for SSD drives is using a nice big mamma SDRAM buffer. For the V128, 64MB cache to be precise. Have a look at the innards of today's tested SSD.
In the above photo we see the SSD opened up. To the left we spot the newer 32nm MLC flash NAND memory chips, the SSD is paired with MLC flash memory chips. Included a count on the backside we spot 16 chips, each with a 8GB capacity for a total drive size of 128GB.
To the upper right the Indilinx Barefoot ECO controller chip and just above it 64MB cache memory from Elpida. All combined they form the heart and soul of the SSD.
We stated it many times and explained this a lot. But the seek time on SSD drives are insane, short from amazing; at less than 1ms -- 0.1ms as we actually can measure. The average seek time for a traditional HDD is roughly 9ms. Do the math, hey, no more moving and spinning mechanical components are key here.
The traditional HDD is a limiting factor on the overall PC experience you guys. Also, storage performance like this would, for example, greatly enhance load times of Photoshop, Generic applications, Office, games and even simply stuff like browsing the web will become a much faster experience.
