Lots of e-mails are submitted from prospective clients who require further information to help them understand the web design and development process and the elements required. Some questions are geared towards technologies utilized, internal processes, appropriateness of services and insight on the internet marketing industry.
Below you will find answers to some of our most frequently asked questions, however, feel free to make direct contact if you require more detailed information and assistance.
Questions Related to Web Development Projects:
How long does it take to develop a website?
The time required to complete a web development project depends on various factors such as: the size of the project, customer deadlines and how quickly clients provide required information. Generally, the average basic design and development project takes 2 to 4 weeks. Some projects may require a couple of months if the client's project is very technical.
Can I make changes to my site after the work is completed and how do I make those changes?
Yes, changes can be made to the website by Yuraki or by the client using the provided content management system. All clients are given access to a user-friendly content management system that allows real-time changes to be made to sites. Clients may also opt for a management agreement where site updates are assigned to a developer on the team.
Are websites developed by you compatible with all web browsers?
Yes, all websites are developed to be W3c compliant and take into consideration all major web browsers, their requirements and variations. Functionality and accurate presentation is guaranteed across all major browsers for all projects.
Can I choose you to design my website and use my own web hosting?
Yes, you may use a different web hosting provider and we will upload the completed website for you. You would need to provide your ftp server or web host control panel details and username and password.
What information is required of the client before any web development project commences?
Initially, the Yuraki team will meet with prospective clients to ascertain all needs, grasp a clear understanding of the clients' business and goals, then provide feedback regarding all elements that will be required to make the project a success.
Generally information relating to products/services, company history, employee profiles, contact details, pictures of products/employees and any marketing material. To assist with the process a questionnaire is provided to ascertain any relevant details.
Are websites developed by Creative Engine Jamaica secure against hackers and other malicious threats?
Yes, all sites developed by Yuraki are secured based on the prevailing web and software standards at the time of development. Sites will have the ability to easily integrate future security updates and fixes.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes, discounts are considered for schools and non-profit organizations
What is the difference between Web Design & Web Development?
The terms web design and web development are often used interchangeably. However, there are distinct differences.
Web design is the process of designing the web site's layout which often includes all graphical elements that will make the site visually appealing. This process aims to achieve goals relating to the clients' image.
Web Development describes the programming that is required to make the website functional, interactive and constructs the "back end." The back end is not seen by visitors and provides the framework for maintaining functionality and security.

How to install a .tar.gz pkg?
After a full installation of slackware, i need to install some of my favorites like geany, vlc, etc. All of these are not available in sbokpg or have dependency issues. So i decided to install using zipped packages.
Now the zip files with .txz or .tgz are installed without any issue i'm having issues installing those with .tar.gz extension. Some i managed to install using rpm packages.
Even though following faithfully the "solutions" to install .tar.gz, I could not install a single .tar.gz package. Could anyone help with the process of installing a .tar.gz?
Go to www.slackbuilds.org and search for the programs that you want. I'll admit that it's a little clunky, but it works.
The best way to keep track of packages you install is a package manager like Slackware's pkgtools (installpkg, upgradepkg, removepkg, etc.) and for this you need to use Slackware packages (perhaps by first compiling and creating them from source packages). Trying to use source packages directly is far harder than using SlackBuilds/sbopkg, so if you are considering this method because you have problems with SlackBuilds/sbopkg then you are simply making a mistake. It is not the way to go. You will only going to make your like more difficult.
For Vlc, save yourself some time and fetch a binary Slackware package from AlienBOB's repository here: www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/vlc/.
To install Geany, if you have 32-Bit Slackware you can use geany-1.22-i486-1gv.txz or if you run Slackware64 you can use geany-1.22-x86_64-1gv.txz.
If you want to build and install Geany from source using sbopkg, use the following command:
sbopkg -ki geany
Thanks for the quick reply.
As i'm new to this type of installations, i want some of my doubts cleared so that i may not do something harmful to the system.
Web suggests that both .tar.gz and .tgz is one and the same thing. So i was trying to install a .tar.gz as if it were .tgz. Now you have cleared the difference that .tar.gz is gzip compressed tar and is not a slackware binary package. When i browse through pkgtool (invoked in a directory containing .tar.gz, .tgz, .rpm), it doesnot show any entries that are .tar.gz or .rpm. Does it only show the entries that are binary packages?
I converted .rpm packages to .tgz using rpm2tgz and then installed the resulting .tgz packages. Its my mistake not to mention of this conversion in the original post. Does installing a converted rpm package potentially harm my system?
:study: I earnestly wish to learn how to install packages from source. Is there any concise tutorial/post about how to do this. I want to know how the ./configure, make, make install works. Also it will be helpful to know pitfalls, if any, of doing so.
Thanks again for the priceless help.
puru: .tar.gz and .tgz are the same type of file: GNU tar archives compressed using gzip.
You can examine their content from the command line by typing tar tzvf file.tgz or
tar tzvf file.tar.gz. The pkgtool utility uses .tgz files that contain an executable,
a manual page, maybe some libraries or extra documentation, and an installation script
but a random .tgz or .tar.gz file may contain either that or simply the source code (in C or C++)
to generate the executable. Before attempting to install, you should check the content with tar tvf.
As slackware executables go to /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin or /opt, if tar tvf shows these directories
in the archive, you have a package ready for pkgtool. If there is no such directory name, you are probably
looking at a source archive. You may then need to download a SlackBuild script to produce an installable package.
Concerning rpm packages, you can usually install them after converting them into .tgz files with rpm2tgz (unless
they are source rpm packages). The problem is that the distributions using RPM (RedHat, CentOS, Scientific Linux, Mageia, Mandriva,...) may use different versions of dynamic libraries (such as libXm.so) or place these libraries
in directories different from the ones used by Slackware. In such a case, the program will not start. You can locate
the missing libraries using ldd <executable>.
With source rpm, after unpacking the .tar.gz (or .tgz) file, you will need again to look for a SlackBuild script.
Thanks everyone.
TBOne: The pkgtool doesnot show any extension. What i mean is in a folder containing .tar.gz and .tgz, .txz only certain packages are shown in the pkgtool. It may be showing only binary packages.
I installed some packages usign ./configure, make, make install method successfully.
Thanks again everybody.:)

There have been numerous inquiries and discussions on the many food related Internet forums including this one about serving snacks for Super Bowl parties centered on the signature foods of the two cities, Chicago and Indianapolis. It seems most can quickly suggest the famous Chicago deep dish pizza or the Chicago style hot dogs for Chicago but then most people outside the Hoosier state are stumped about Indianapolis. I'm drawing the line and making my suggestion. It is not corn or popcorn, it is not fried chicken, it is not beans and corn bread, it is not green bean casserole, and save the sugar cream pie for dessert. It is the famous Indiana breaded pork tenderloin sandwich - a sandwich that has its roots in Indiana and is very popular throughout the breadbasket Heartland of the Midwest, but is relatively unknown beyond.
The problem is the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich is one giant of a sandwich if done right to live up to its reputation and will fill you up, muscle out other snacks and have you napping by the fourth quarter of the big game. I don't think anyone wants that. So, to make it more feasible, here is the mini pork tenderloin sandwich appetizer. What is it? It is a mini deep-fried breaded pork tenderloin sandwich of about a minimum of 2 inches to not more than 4 inches in size and served with small dinner rolls. If in Chicago you could substitute the dinner rolls with crustless white bread and slather them with gravy, but please don't. As you might infer it is not a signature food for Chicago in the way I am preparing them.
I have presented many breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches and how they are prepared in porktenderloinsandwich.com so we can skip the basics and concentrate on the differences.
I started with a package of pork tenderloins. They typically come packaged in pairs and weigh a bit over a pound each. Normally I can get about four sandwiches out of one tenderloin but in making the mini I found I could easily get twelve or more tenderloin pieces out of one by simply cross cutting pieces not more than 3/4 inches thick. Pounded flat the ranged from nearly 3" by 4" from the thickest part down to about 2" x 3" toward the end. They ended up about 1/4" thick on the average with three quick poundings with my favored Marples mallet. They were just right for the small 2" x 2" dinner rolls.
Marinating and breading was the same as for the larger standard pork tenderloin sandwiches. In frying I found I could batch fry several at a time in my fryer anywhere from four to six. I used a deep fryer but I think these are small enough that you could easily fry them in a skillet. I fried them 3minutes at 360 degrees F.
The whole pictorial details can be found at my web site...
Here is the result. I don't say bon appetite. I say just dig in and enjoy!

Please explain how this works-
If they will not finance you, you would need to obtain your own financing, through a lender, which can be located on the internet. What kind of lender are you suggesting?
You should start by looking on the internet at financing companies who handle leases and when you find a car you like, inquire about the process to obtain the loan from them, so you do not have to worry about getting approved, if you already have the financing lined up. Is this different than the above?.
The dealer Toyota does their own financing
Are you saying that the financing company would give me a conventional installment loan that would somehow be contingent on being linked to the
auto dealer?
so-----the financing company pay the dealer & I make payments to the financing company?

Noteworthy Articles and Adobe Muse Reviews
Better Business Bureau: A+BBB Complaints and Review
Adobe Muse CC – Adobe's reputation for being a tool of choice amongst professional designers may deter some people from trying Muse. And it's true that most of the reviews are from people who are experienced web designers or who, at the very least, have experience using other Adobe design and illustration applications. Once customer writes, "Our company needed an updated site and did not have any 'in-house' experience. We first pursued out-sourcing the project, but found it to be expensive and open-ended. After purchasing Muse, I had a new site up and running within a month." A month. Not a day or a few hours. Whereas other website builders take minutes or hours to master, Muse is not designed to afford the average small business owner mastery level efficiency in just a few hours. For web designers, however, Muse CC is a great choice. It earns 4.5 out of 5 possible stars with the highest marks (4.6 stars) being for ease of use. [Read more ]
PC Mag –Making fantastic use of their Master Layout concept and useful widgets, Adobe's mission is to answer the market's need for a site builder that allows websites to look the same irrespective of which device or browser being used to access it. Muse providers users with design flexibility and the ease of using a template-driven CMS without structure and coding work. "The software is now moving more into the realm of interactive, data-driven CMS-style sites, while still squarely focused on the needs of designers." [Read more ]
SiteBuilderReport – "Design from scratch. Steep learning curve." No doubt that statement would pretty much sum up the experiences of many small business owners who choose Muse as their site builder, particularly if they have no previous design experience. Muse allows users to plan and design a website from scratch. There are no templates to browse and color schemes to preview. You get a blank canvas with drag-and-drop abilities for most page elements like text, images, and widgets. While Muse provides lots of design freedom, that freedom could backfire when it comes to optimizing your site for search engines. You have to manually set up all headers, titles and tags in order for search engines to distinguish them from paragraph text. One big disadvantage with Muse is that it doesn't provide a blog feature, which means you essentially miss the SEO benefits inherent in starting a blog. Overall, Muse can be a strong site builder for anyone who already knows Adobe design software. If you don't, you're probably better off looking an all-in-one solution.[Read more ]

Hi everybody!
Now, I have this problem. I need to estimate the covariance matrix of the minimum of a chi^2 fitting. I'm using fminunc to minimize the objective function.
I have only 4 parameters, so a pretty easy task. (of course I've set "LargeScale" to off).
The minimization works perfectly.
Since I need the covariance matrix I was thinking about inverting the hessian given as an output by fminunc.
While googling I've found some guys saying that is not necessarily good to do so because the estimate might have some bias/problem/unpreciseness that might give a very bad covariance matrix estimate.
I didn't understand it very much, also because I'm not too much into optimization.
Can somebody expert tell me if it's good enough for what I have to do or, in case, which are the hypothesis under which it's not good anymore?
I've tried comparing the hessian given by fminunc with two different others.
I tried multiplying the function jacobian with its transpose. (I expect it to be equal to the hessian in a chi^2 minimization problem, near the minimum).
If I take the ratio of this hessian to the fminunc one I get a matrix of ones, with a 0.1% agreement in the worst case, usually much better. And that's very fine.
(I've tried with the same fitting function but with independent datasets)
Then, suspecting that fminunc uses the same approximation, I also tried to estimate the hessian without approximations but using finite differences.
If I do so and compute the ratio of this hessian to one of the other two I get a matrix of values spread around 1.... (-20%,+50%!!!!)
Which is not fine!!
I wonder which method is correct now, as I know that computing second derivatives with finite differences is not trivial.

MYSTERY teen Max King has emerged as the answer to Melbourne's big man worries against Richmond on Friday night.
The Dees are nursing back to health a clutch of key talls meaning new coach Paul Roos will have to field a makeshift forward line and ruck setup in their NAB Challenge opener.
King, a 200cm ruckman taken at No. 19 in last year's rookie draft, started the pre-season sixth in line in the club's ruck pecking order.
But the first-year tall from Wagga has become an unlikely bolter after injuries to Mitch Clark, Max Gawn, Jesse Hogan, Chris Dawes, Jack Fitzpatrick and Mark Jamar has left Melbourne with only two fit listed ruckmen, Jake Spencer and King, for Roos' first game in charge.
Dawes and Hogan are likely to return from knee problems for the Dees' second NAB Challenge game against Geelong on February 28 while Clark was continuing to deal with "little niggling injuries and soreness" in his comeback from two serious foot injuries.
Roos was delighted with the early signs from Melbourne's improved midfield group, including imports Bernie Vince, Dom Tyson and Daniel Cross, but conceded the club would "really struggle" with its big man setup "forward of centre" against the Tigers.
Roos said 18-year-old King, from the NSW/ACT under-18 team, was a certainty to help fill the ruck void.
"He'll definitely play," Roos told the Herald Sun.
"He's been going OK, but he's probably one of the ones that we just have to play because, although Jakey Spencer has done everything, we really haven't got a second (fit) ruckman.
"Ideally you probably wouldn't necessary want to play them (rookie talls) this time of the year, but having said that he's done a lot of training.
"He's quite athletic, he's like a lot of those raw sort of New South Wales athletes that I've seen a lot of, but he's certainly got some AFL talent.
"We might even throw him down forward to see what he can do down there, but I think it will be exciting for him."
Roos said the club did not want to burden spring-heeled goal kicker Jeremy Howe in an undermanned forward line.
"The one that suffers a bit from that is Jeremy Howe," Roos said.
"I'd love to free him up as a half forward-wingman, get him more involved, but he'll be standing at full forward or centre half forward.
"He is probably the one we have just got to be mindful of that we don't just leave him there and make sure we give him a bit of a run."
Utility Cameron Pedersen had also been swapped from the back line group to an attacking role help support him against the Tigers.
"Cam Pedersen has been terrific," Roos said.
"He was really good in the trial match. We probably saw him as a defender but three or four weeks ago we changed his mind set to a forward and he has been really good.
"He'll have a big workload Friday night."

Fatal Traffic Accident on Highway 42 East of Myrtle Point
Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers are continuing the investigation into Wednesday evening's fatal commercial vehicle traffic crash that occurred on Highway 42 east of Myrtle Point in Coos County. The crash resulted in the death of a 39-year old Myrtle Creek-area man.
According to OSP Sergeant Josh Young, on August 10, 2011 at approximately 6:27 p.m. a 2000 Freightliner truck pulling two loaded chip hauler semi-trailer driven by DAVID ALLEN HOOGERHYDE, age 39, from Myrtle Creek, was westbound on Highway 42 near milepost 23 when it failed to maintain its lane of travel while negotiating a right hand curve. The vehicle combination crossed the centerline, rolled onto its side and traveled across the highway and a portion of the exit ramp for Highway 242. The vehicles continued through a guardrail, crashing into a bridge abutment railing and over an embankment where it damaged a utility pole.
HOOGERHYDE was extricated from the truck by Myrtle Point Fire Department personnel and pronounced deceased at the scene.
OSP troopers from the Coos Bay Area Command office are continuing the investigation into the cause of the crash.
Myrtle Point Police Department, Myrtle Point Fire Department, Myrtle Point Ambulance, ODOT, Coos County Medical Examiner, Frontier Communications and Mast Brothers Towing assisted at the scene.
During the investigation and recovery of the vehicles, the highway was restricted to one lane of traffic for about five hours.

Customers of ereader.com have been waiting for a version of the eReader Pro program to hit the iPad. That wait is now over, as Barnes & Noble (s bks) released eReader for the iPad last night. This app is not to be confused with either the B&N eReader or the newly released Nook reader app from the company. B&N bought the ereader.com business in March of last year, and it has quietly continued to operate it in the shadow of its main B&N online e-book store.
I have been a customer of ereader.com for years; I have almost 500 e-books in my purchased library at the store and those are not accessible with B&N's other readers. The eReader Pro app has been available for almost every smartphone platform for a while, but the iPad version had been missing until now. This version is not pretty, which is in keeping with the eReader Pro philosophy of function over beauty. For that matter the lack of a flashy facade may be why it is so fast.
Users of eReader Pro on other platforms will feel right at home as the iPad app is very similar to existing versions. Access to the user library is done within the app, but purchases are made in a separate browser window. You can start shopping at ereader.com for books from inside the app, but it fires up the Safari browser for the actual shopping excursion. Books can be perused and purchases made in the web browser. It does provide a link after purchase to take you back to the reader app, which is pretty cool.
As on other platforms, the iPad app provides lots of display configuration options — fonts, themes, day/night display — and it is easy to set things up the way you prefer. Fans of the eReader Pro autoscroll feature — which scrolls the page up slowly to allow reading without page turning — will be happy to note this is possible in the free iPad version.

Energy trading involves the buying, selling or trading of standardized energy futures contracts that trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and a few other commodity exchanges. Energy trading offers traders a diverse range of trading options but energy trading also comes with risks.
What Are the Major Energy Trading Commodities?
All contracts traded on an individual energy commodity on a specific commodity exchange in the energy markets will be standardized when it comes to quality, quantity, time and place of delivery with only the price of the contract being the variable factor.
Major types of energy commodities traded on in the energy markets will include the following:
- Crude Oil. Since crude oil accounts for much of the world's energy needs, crude oil futures contracts are the most heavily traded contracts in the energy markets. Crude oil futures contracts are for 1,000 barrels and are deliverable for all 12 months of the year.
- Natural Gas. Given that natural gas accounts for roughly a quarter of US energy needs, natural gas futures account for a significant volume of trading in the energy markets. One natural gas futures contact equals10,000 MM Btus (million British thermal units) and are traded for delivery year round.
- Heating Oil. Many businesses will use heating oil futures contracts to hedge their energy needs. One heating oil futures contract controls 42,000 gallons (one rail car) of heating oil and are deliverable for 18 consecutive months.
- Unleaded Gasoline. Gasoline accounts for roughly half of all the refined oil in the US. One unleaded gas futures contract controls 42,000 gallon (1,000 barrels) of unleaded gasoline and are deliverable year round.
The Bottom Line About Energy Trading
It is important to remember that energy prices can be extremely volatile because energy is easily the most tactical and politicized product in the world. Hence, energy trading should be considered a risky endeavor for any new energy trader who has not spent a significant amount of time to understand what he or she is trading and what can influence energy prices.

From Spacefem
Zeph is a Texan USAn college student female. I think she joined in 2003. She likes soda. She has three cats. Her elephant's name is Clancey. Zeph has a lot of interests, her mood can be totally different depending on which day it is. She spends a lot of time on Spacefem, because she browses the web during work and she has a ton of online school work. She will probably go into International Law, where she will inspire world peace through her brilliant tattoos and sheer amazingness. Zeph apologizes for posting fifty times a day. For some reason she had to go off and get a boyfriend, causing much despair in the she-male spacefem community.

I'm 31 with 2 kids and an SO. I've been on my own since I was 19. My dad still helps with our bigger car stuff like tires, if it breaks down, etc. When the economy fell my SO took a 50% pay cut and still have the same mortgage and bills. My dad looks at it as doing what he can to help. He and my step-mom make much more than us and have way fewer expenses. We always pay him back and most of the time he pays before I can even object (our mechanic is a close family friend). He would rather us owe him a few hundred and still have the money to spend on our kids. I don't always like it. I'm very independent and it's hard for me to ask for help. I'm just extremely thankful that in those situations my dad can help.
I think it depends on the situation. Is the kid spending all their money partying and stuff? Or are they doing the best they can with what they have? Are they in school making good grades?
My family is very much "help in whatever way you can". When my mom was out of work and waiting to be approved for disability, and I was in a much better financial situation, I paid her mortgage and bills for two years. I'll never get that back from her but it was worth it to not see her lose everything.

Maldon's traders have claimed an online presence is vital after empty shops hit the highest rate in 15 months.
A British Retail Consortium report has found that the number of empty shops on the UK's high streets has hit the highest level since its survey began in July 2011.
The town centre vacancy rate is now over 11 per cent.
Although many are pointing towards the internet as a key driver behind the demise of the high street, Maldon traders said both must coexist to be successful.
Mary Powell, chairman of the Maldon Business Association, who runs Maldon Emporium in the town's High Street and Emporium Direct online, said: "In my opinion the future is most businesses are going to have use the internet as well as have a high street shop."

News: Dr. Anne Cubilie presents human rights and gender issues in Afghanistan
November 12, 2013
Filed under News
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
BY SULLIVAN CARTER, Staff Reporter
Spreading awareness of Afghani war crime survivors, specifically women, Dr. Anne Cubilie's spoke Tuesday afternoon in the Milo Smith Tower Theatre. Cubilie talked about her time spent collecting testimonies as a consultant for the United Nations in Badakhshan, Afghanistan.
In front of the 30 to 40 people attending the presentation, Cubilie shared that she began her work in Badakhshan in 2000 and it lasted until August of 2001. Her job was to collect the testimonies of 100 internationally displaced persons, referred to as IPD's. With these testimonies, Cubilie wrote a report on human rights and gender issues and later used them in the last chapter of her book, "Women Witnessing Terror: Testimony and the Cultural Politics of Human Rights."
Cubilie discussed what she learned from these testimonies and how difficult the process was to get them, saying that they averaged about 5 testimonies a day.
"We would sometimes have to hike into places of extreme poverty," Cubilie said.
During her time in Afghanistan, Cubilie ran into many serious problems such as lack of resources, including no transportation and only one, inexperienced translator. Talking about Badakhshan, she said, "It's almost entirely rural, and most people are illiterate."
Even with all of these problems, Cubilie explained that the most amazing and surprising part of her trip was that these women still understood that they were apart of a global community and often wondered why the rest of the world was abandoning them.
When asked how difficult the transition from living in Afghanistan to living back in the United States, Cubilie explained that she was unable to contact any of the people she received testimonies from even though she developed such strong relationships.
"It was a very upsetting transition," Cubilie said.
Cubilie is a former professor at Georgetown University and has been working with the UN for the last 13 years. She is currently a program officer for the UN but is making her way around the nation to spread awareness of the issue over seas.
Central freshman Beatrice Wambui shared her feelings on the presentation and her reasons for attending.
"I appreciate her attempt to educate people on the matter," Wambui said.
Wambui explained that it saddened her to think there are few steps being taken to help the situation and that Cubilie's speech might have an impact on what major she chooses. Wambui attended the speech to learn more about the problem in Afghanistan.

The first dilemma I had when writing this article was putting aside several biases, the first of which was my love for sea cliffs. Over the past 10 years the coastal regions of the UK have been my favoured place to climb, as a result my first two 'attempts' at writing a list consisted of:
The more observant out there will note that these are simply lists of routes on Gogarth's Main Cliff and Huntsman's Leap in Pembroke (and what lists they are too!). But no, a little more diversity would be required.
The second dilemma was that this list wasn't going to please everybody. I know I've sat shaking my fists at the screen of my computer whilst reading previous articles (I mean Chimes of Freedom, one of the best E2s in Britain - really?!?). As each day went by I felt greater and greater regret in having accepted this challenge, what have I done?
Finally, my last concern and confession: I have never climbed in Ireland. All I can do is offer a formal apology to the people of Ireland with regards to this glaring omission. I am wholly aware that Fairhead and the Burren could probably have 5 of the best E5s within the British Isles – much as Main Cliff/Huntsman's do – but due to an inexcusable madness I have never been. Please forgive me.
Anyhow, with all that said and done here is my list. Please be kind…
Have you done all Rob's top 5? If so why not tick them in this UKC Logbooks Ticklist!
Also in this series:
This initial choice could be seen as somewhat controversial, seeing as the true classic at Pentire is Pat Littlejohn's Darkinbad the Brightdayler - it's got the history, it's in Extreme Rock and it's clearly a very, very good route. However, Black Magic is the one that left a lasting impression.
Unlike Darkinbad which is quite cruxy, Black Magic is a more sustained affair sweeping it's way majestically up the wall. Many small wires/cams protect, but it's so long you've got to run it out a bit else you'd run out of gear too soon. And the moves keep coming, and coming, and coming. Never desperate, always good, you reach the belay spellbound – wow… For added effect it's worth waiting until late in the day when the crag gets the sun.
Driving home afterwards just as the sun was setting, I couldn't stop smiling. "Wow…". Not many routes do that to you.
Dare I say it, but Black Magic is so good it makes Right Wall on Dinas Cromlech look crap.
Many years on, many E5s later, my attitude had changed. The Leap had transformed from a place of terror into a place of joy and the West Wall of the Leap - with its selection of some of the best E5s in the country – the object of my desire. Climbing any route in the Leap is a memorable experience, it's a place with a real atmosphere: the noise, the tide, the darkness, the intimidation. Nowhere is this more pronounced than the underneath the chockstone where Darkness at Noon begins.
The route winds its way up alien cocoon-like formations until forced out through wild overhangs. The climbing itself is quite unconventional in style and the position ridiculous, it's definitely more than just the moves – you are on the centre stage of one of the premier trad venues within the British Isle.
I have chosen Hunger because it's essentially got a bit of everything. A very unlikely lower wall, featuring some classically wide Gogarth pinches, leads to a rest (a much needed rest!) before the final moves up the bicep blowing overhangs. After this rather physical pitch comes the psychological second pitch, which always seems a bit more trying than it should.
One tip I would have for anyone wishing to do these routes at Main Cliff is to wait until 12pm at the earliest before getting on the route. A mid-afternoon low tide and a gentle breeze will make all the difference to removing the Vaseline that coats the cliff throughout most of the morning. In this lubed up state routes will feel a lot harder, but isn't necessarily reason not to get on them – just prepare for a bit of a fight.
Shere Khan is all the more memorable due to it's rather wild position and bold upper groove. When I did it last summer I bumped into James 'Caff' McHaffie at the base of the crag, he'd been out for a quick solo (?!) in preparation for this years Lakeland 100 - reported here - and he offered me the advice: "the starts a bit pokey, but the tops all fine – you're on big holds". It was at that point in time that I realised Caff suffers from some sort of gross distortion of reality, as what he described is essentially the exact opposite of what actually occurs. The start is well protected and the upper section borders on unjustifiably bold, in fact it was so obvious you could see this from the ground?! Anyhow, maybe I'm exaggerating slightly, but it's definitely a route with 'character' on a cliff with 'character'. I guess you could say I was sandbagged by a 'character' at the base of it too…
If you hit Scotland in good weather, without the midges, then it is quite simply the best place on earth. Mistime it and it's probably the worst.
After a week of perfect weather, coupled with a gentle breeze, I had grown complacent. The sea-cliffs on Lewis had been our home for the past week and it was now reaching the end of our time away – just one day left to go. It seemed logical that we should spend our last day climbing on The Strone, a legendarily overhanging cliff and formidable rock bastion, pierced by only a select few long, hard routes.
It had rained heavily the night before, and with this rain came the midges… Approaching the crag (which I would definitely recommend doing with a bike) there was a stillness in the air, not a breath of wind, and it was humid – so very, very humid. Alarm bells were ringing already and as we finally got underneath the route midge level had hit Defcon 3. The humidity meant we were sweating buckets, yet we had to wear everything we had: trousers, long sleeve tops, long socks in our rock-boots, and finally the lifesaver – the midge net over our heads. Without the latter we would have almost certainly have died. At this point I couldn't comment on the beauty of the cliff, the valley, the route or the surroundings. Survival was key.
Thankfully two pitches up the midges had gone and a breeze was swirling around the crag, finally we could enjoy ourselves. The highlight of the route is without doubt the 45m groove pitch, which features both superb moves and protection, then probably the finest stance I have ever had the privilege of belaying on within the British Isle. A golden eagle circled around above us and down the valley there were two men fishing on the lake, there was a certain tranquility that contrasted with the utter horror we had experienced earlier.
Polaris and The Lean Machine, Swanage - There are two Swanage E5s that stick firmly within my memroy: The Lean Machine and Polaris. Originally I had opted to include The Lean Machine, trad climbing doesn't get much steeper or wilder than that - it's a must; however, after having a conversation with the evergreen Nick Bullock my decision was swayed. Polaris has the same levels of steepness as The Lean Machine, but with more adventure, guano and loose rock thrown into the mix - what isn't there to like about that?! Interestingly when I asked Nick was his Top 5 E5s would be he said: Crow, Helmet Boiler, New Moon, Bobok and Death Trap Direct. This list definitely doesn't come HSE approved and most of them are so unpopular they don't even feature in the UKC Logbooks!
Supersonic, High Tor - Much though I love Peak Limestone, a lot of it is - for want of a better word - crap. That's not to say I don't like it, I do; it's just that it isn't always of the highest quality (if you've convinced yourself otherwise you're lying). High Tor is the exception to this rule, with its immaculate pocketed walls, and Supersonic taking the immaculate line up the centre face. The runout at the top makes it all the more memorable, not that the rest is exactly forgettable...
Psycho, Caley - Being based in Sheffield I am sure I could be hung for including only one route on the gritstone. As if that wasn't enough, the one I've chosen to include is in Yorkshire. Psycho could be considered a highball these days, but I thought I'd include it anyway as it features very different climbing to all of the routes listed above. The start move rocking over onto the slab is without doubt the crux, but it's the moves at the top that really test the nerve. Also, where else on grit do you find chicken-heads?!?
Pacemaker, Lower Sharpnose - The fins at Lower Sharpnose Point are some of the most unique formations I have ever climbed on and it is a marvel, considering how thin they are, that they're still standing. I'm still not sure which I preferred out of Fay or Pacemaker, but why choose one when you can go down there fit enough to climb them all - none will disappoint.

Beauty pageants are out of date
The whole Miss Universe kerfuffle signals that the pageant is in its death throes.
For those few of you who are not avid followers of this fine competition: Miss Howick, Avianca Bohm, won the national final on Sunday. Lucky! That means she gets to go and parade herself in front of The Donald, who says things like, "My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been well documented, are various other parts of my body."
Pause for shudder.
Now it seems she may miss out on that treat of a lifetime. Because yesterday, it emerged that Avianca is not a New Zealand citizen. Which means she was not eligible to win. (It's unclear whether she was eligible to enter: the rules on the Miss Universe website say "to qualify for Miss Universe New Zealand" you must be a NZ citizen).
No-one's accusing Avianca of being sneaky here. She actually told pageant organiser Val Lott, who said she should enter anyway, because it would be confidence-boosting and great for Howick. Val says she gave the judges a heads-up that Avianca couldn't win. The judges gave the tiara to her anyway (and dispute Val's version of events).
Blah blah blah, he said she said, the interesting thing here is that a woman who was never going to win, was allowed to enter at all. I bet that's because they're not getting enough entrants. Which is great. In other encouraging news, the official Miss Universe entry form says they'll consider entrants for direct entry into the national competition "as there has been an absence of regional pageants in many regions". Brilliant. Well played, ladies of New Zealand.
I have heard a rumour, also, that pageant organisers are paying promo models to enter competitions, simply to make up numbers. I have no idea whether this involves Miss Universe and I am not saying that it does. But I'm not surprised. I've always wondered where they get these girls from. I mean, are there really that many conventionally beautiful, poised, sweet, safely non-controversial women aged between 18 and 27, who have the time and energy (but not necessarily talent: there is no 'talent' section in Miss Universe, they've put that in bold on their website so all you stupid talented women don't miss it) to enter a thing like this? Who WANT to win a competition that means Donald Trump gets to ogle them?
Would you ever enter one of these pageants? Would you let your daughter enter? Will you celebrate with me when beauty pageants finally give up the ghost?

I've seen companies pick Visual Basic because it's easier to hire certified VB6 developers than python/C/etc. FWIW, some Sun database product has about a thousand or two certified people http://www.mysql.com/certification/candidates.php ; as well as having expensive books to study for it http://www.mysql.com/certification/studyguides/ IMHO their certification tests seem to have a reasonable degree of detail.

Natwest and Royal Bank Of Scotland (RBS) customers can now withdraw cash from an ATM using their smartphone. This has been made possible thanks to a new service called "Get Cash".
The service works by using the Get Cash application , which is passworded , which gives you a code to enter onto an ATM. Once the code is entered correctly you can withdraw up to £100, which is lower than the maximum you can withdraw using a card for security reasons.
Security is paramount in the new feature and the application won't unveil the code you need to enter until you tap on the screen, just incase anyone is looking over your shoulder. We assume the code changes in a similar way to the portable card-readers used for online banking, but we havn't had this confirmed.
The Get Cash application is currently available to download on Android, Blackberry and iOS devices !
3G thinks this is a really great idea because there have been numerous occasions when we've left the house without our wallet, but we never leave our smartphone behind. One question we do have about the service is whether your account will be locked if you enter the code wrong 3 times in a similar manner to with regular credit/debit cards.
With the uptake of NFC and new solutions such as Get Cash it shouldn't be too long before bank cards are a thing of the past !

James Shields Shuts Rays Down In Royals 6-0 Victory
James Shields (9-4, 3.71 ERA) last appearance at Tropicana Field was one of his most impressive. On the second to last day of the 2012 season as a member of the Tampa Bay Rays he held the Baltimore Orioles to one run (earned) on just two hits striking out 15 while walking none. Unfortunately for him the Rays bats were silent that day and he took a 1-0 loss.
Last night bore a lot of similarities to his last time on the mound at Tropicana Field. He delivered a solid seven innings of work holding the Rays scoreless on just three hits striking out 10 and walking one. Like last time the Rays bats were silenced and the Royals walked away with a 6-0 victory. The loss ends the Rays three game win streak and drops their record to 41-51.
Jake Odorizzi (started for the Rays and pitched well allowing just two runs (earned) over six innings of work striking out eight and walking two.
The Royals scored both their runs off Odorizzi in the top of the third inning on an RBI single by Alex Gordon and a RBI ground out by Omar Infante.
The Royals extended their lead off Juan Carlos Oviedo with a pair of runs in both the eighth and ninth innings.
After Shields left the game former Rays pitcher Wade Davis worked a scoreless eighth and Scott Downs delivered a scoreless ninth.
The Rays and Royals play the middle game of their three game set this evening at 7:05 as Jeremy Hellickson makes his first start of the year against left hander Jason Vargas who is 8-3 with a 3.32 ERA.

According to Sunday's China Daily, yesterday marked the beginning of the annual Spring Festival peak travel season when hordes of college students and migrant workers traditionally travel home to visit their families. The paper says that in addition to the 2.85 billion road trips expected to take place over the next 40 days, 34 million Chinese will travel by air and nearly 6 million passengers per day are expected to take rail journeys. A Reuters story describes it as the "... biggest movement of humanity in the world."
In the past, people wishing to travel by train during the Spring Festival usually had to queue for hours at train stations in extremely long lines. A Business Insider article sums it up thusly:
"Historically, the only way to buy a train ticket in China has been to wait in line at a train station or ticket agent office. With tickets available only 10 days in advance, and demand running high, many travelers can find themselves waiting in line overnight in the cold, sometimes for multiple days, in order to secure a ticket. Complicating matters are much-hated scalpers, who snap up tickets ahead of the crowds and resell them at inflated prices."
This year, however, the Chinese Rail Ministry decided to set up a website as well as a phone reservation system that let passengers purchase tickets up to 12 days in advance. Furthermore, says the Business Insider, purchasers had to give their real names—a move meant to reduce the likelihood of ticket scalping.
According to the Chinese Daily, the Rail Ministry website received over 1 billion hits during the first week of 2012. Over 100 million people also are said to have registered on the site.
Unfortunately, news reports (including one from Reuters) bore the bad news that the Rail Ministry's website crashed just minutes after it was launched last week. And when it did come back online (only intermittently), website visitors found themselves subject to long wait times before they could purchase their tickets. In some cases, the Business Insider article reported, many would-be rail passengers were charged for tickets that were not issued or found out after a lengthy wait that the tickets for a particular day were already sold out.
The Rail Ministry is reportedly working on increasing the website's bandwidth, and will be issuing refunds to those who were mistakenly charged, according to this AFP report.
The new Chinese Rail Ministry website wasn't the only one that experienced glitches last week. Numerous computer problems forced the shutdown of the London Olympics and Paralympics' resale ticketing system, run by Ticketmaster. The resale system was set up as a link between Olympic event ticket holders wishing to sell their unwanted tickets back at face value and sports fans seeking to purchase the t.
The resale site was also set up to reduce ticket touting. (The fine for selling London Olympic tickets above face value is £20 000.)
Unfortunately, both ticket sellers and buyers had problems soon after the web site launched Friday, reports a Financial Times of London article. A UKPA article said that:
"People trying to buy tickets were able to click on to apparently available tickets, but after several minutes were told these were not available. However, hours later, the web site showed the same tickets still apparently available."
According to the London Daily Mail, sellers saw their tickets taken but never put up for resale .
The London Olympic organizing committee was very unhappy about the situation, stating that:
"We have temporarily suspended the ticketing website while Ticketmaster investigates ticket resale issues that some customers have been experiencing. This website will reopen once Ticketmaster has resolved these issues. You will also be able to purchase Olympic Football and Paralympic tickets from this time."
The London Olympic organizing committee also admitted last week that the sale of 10 000 more tickets to the synchronized swimming events than actually existed was due to "human error." To smooth things over, says the Sydney Morning Herald, Olympic organizers are said to have contacted roughly 3000 of those holding the oversold synchronized swimming tickets with an offer to exchange the tickets for those giving admittance to other events for which the purchasers had also indicated a preference.
The London Olympics ticket system and ticket allocation scheme have been heavily criticized since they were introduced last Spring.

BAYCHESTER, NY -- Neal Rosenberg has joined photobooth company Apple Industries as director of operations. "We have grown so fast in the past three years that it became necessary to find a key person to oversee our complete internal operations day to day," said Apple president Allen Weisberg. "Neal is a perfect match for our company."
Rosenberg is a lifelong member of the coin machine industry and last year was presented with the Joe Robins Award, the American Amusement Machine Association's highest honor. He most recently served as president of Elaut USA, which represents the business interests of Belgium's Elaut NV, a maker of skill cranes and other amusement products, in the United States. Prior to Elaut, the industry veteran spent two decades at Betson Enterprises (Carlstadt, NJ) as director of operations.
Early in his career, Rosenberg joined his late father, Leo, to form Beverly Music & Vending Services, which provided technical support to smaller operating companies. The elder Rosenberg was a close business associate of Weisberg's father, Abe, who also provided contract technical services.
Rosenberg called Apple Industries the premier company in the photobooth category and predicted its continued growth in the year ahead. "At this stage in my career," he said, "the excitement has definitely returned. I am happy to contribute to Apple's growth."
Apple Industries manufactures and markets the Face Place photobooth and is the North and South American representative for Digital Centres of Barcelona, Spain. The Digital Centres New Generation photobooth delivers the patron's choice of color or black-and-white digital photos on four-view strips. Rosenberg can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Apple's corporate headquarters is based at 1107 E. Gun Hill Rd., Baychester, NY 10469, tel. (888) 607- 2444.

Local teachers, principals and other educators worried about the recent flurry of changes to their jobs got a chance to talk directly the man who will be most responsible for making those changes — Louisiana Superintendent of Education John White.
Local teachers, principals and other educators worried about the recent flurry of changes to their jobs got a chance to talk directly the man who will be most responsible for making those changes — Louisiana Superintendent of Education John White.
During the more than two hour-long meeting, White paced in the aisles of the auditorium at South Lafourche High School, answering sometimes terse questions from about 75 Terrebonne and Lafourche teachers.
"These are big, big shifts in the way we deal with education. And up until now, a lot of the discussion has been about politics," White told the crowd. "It's time to return this discussion to the classroom, where all of you are doing the real work. And I need to know what the situation is like on the ground."
Many veteran educators said White's visit is a first.
"This is the first time that I know of that a sitting superintendent has actually travelled down here just to talk to teachers," Lafourche school superintendent Jo Ann Matthews said. "I'd say it's a really great opportunity for [teachers] to come talk with him one on one."
White is touring parishes throughout the state, holding conferences with school administrators and giving town hall-style forums with teachers.
After giving an overview of Louisiana's current education performance, recent improvements and planned reforms, White gave the microphone over to teachers. Many said they feared a recently passed school-voucher law would allow private and voucher schools to sap resources and high-performing students from traditional public schools.
White pointed out that a small percentage of students in the Houma-Thibodaux area could make the switch.
"You have 10,000 kids [in Lafourche] who are eligible for vouchers, and you've only got 1,000 private-school seats available," White said. "And each parish only has one charter school, so you're looking at a tiny fraction of students. I just don't see your parishes being seriously affected by this."
White said safeguards in the new law should prevent schools from picking and choosing students, even though he acknowledged some "bad actors" might attempt such maneuvers.
"That's something we have to police," he said. "But I wouldn't be too worried about it down here. I haven't seen any requests for charter schools in this area come across my desk."
Many teachers also expressed confusion and concern over the new system that will be used to judge their performance. It involves a complicated formula that measures a student's previous test scores, family background, attendance and a host of other factors to set student-performance goals each teacher must meet.
Teachers said they were worried that the formula might not sufficiently account for things outside their control, like parental involvement and students' natural affinity for certain classes.
White pointed out that in Terrebonne Parish's pilot of the test system this year, only 16 teachers out of more than a thousand would have faced disciplinary action as a result of their students' performance."
"I bet most of you are already doing what you need to do to make the right scores," he said. "Most of
you aren't going to be anywhere close to getting punished, because you're already doing a good job."
Gaye Cheramie, principal at Golden Meadow Upper Elementary, said she and her fellow teachers have many concerns after White's visit.
"There are still so many unanswered questions," she said. "So much is happening so fast that many educators aren't able to keep up with it all."
Still, Cheramie said she is thrilled that White took the time to drive "all the way down the bayou."
"It was awesome," she said. "A lot of times in this area we get ignored because we're so far away from where the power is. I really applaud him for coming all the way down here to take what he knew were going to be some hard questions."

So, I've been watching BBQ Pitmasters and all those other shows (Reichman on PBS) for years and years and years. So a lot of stuff is already ingrained in my noggin.
I was driving through and stopped at this BBQ place a month ago on the way home. Had smokers in the parking lot, went in got their half smoked chicken and brisket... and that was it. I had the bug.
I did some minor research and wound up with a Smokey Mountain two drawer smoker for $240 shipped.
Slapped that together on Saturday, took about twenty minutes or so.
Ran out to the store and got some chicken quarters and brined them waiting for sunrise the next day. I rinsed and rubbed those quarters. Dropped some red-oak and apple in the smoker box. Spritz occasionally. 3-1/2 hours later.... YUM!
Also my brother brought over a pork butt and that stayed in for another couple hours and we made pulled-pork sandwiches.
I was expecting some sorta failure but happy with the results.
I am taking time to go through all the forum posts now...

TANYA NOLAN: The Aboriginal Tent Embassy outside old Parliament House in Canberra has become a symbol of resistance. Despite many attempts no political leader has ever been able to get rid of it.
While prominent Aboriginal leader Warren Mundine say the embassy is now "irrelevant to the mainstream of Aboriginal people" advocates say on its 40th anniversary the embassy is more relevant than ever.
Bronwyn Herbert reports.
PROTESTERS CHANTING: Land rights now! Land rights now!
BRONWYN HERBERT: Forty years ago four young Aboriginal men erected a beach umbrella on the lawns of what is now Old Parliament House to make their case heard.
EXTRACT FROM DECLARATION OF ABORIGINAL SOVEREIGNTY (archival): We therefore draw the attention of the International Community and the United Nations to our peaceful and lawful right of occupation of our land and territories.
BRONWYN HERBERT: The umbrellas were replaced by more permanent tents and since then there's been protests and confrontations with both police and politicians.
(Sound of protesters)
BRONWYN HERBERT: Many of the original protesters have died but some of the few survivors have told the Awaye program about their motivations to get involved with the movement.
SAM WATSON: The Aboriginal Tent Embassy changed the face of Australia, truly. It gave international recognition to the Aboriginal movement and to the plight of Aboriginal people internally.
It also made the white people in this country wake up. You know, and this is the first time they've been jolted out of their conservative state of mind you know. Because always it was, you know, over there, out of sight, out of mind. Now we were on their doorstep.
BRONWYN HERBERT: But on its fortieth anniversary Indigenous leader Warren Mundine questions the embassy's relevance in 2012.
WARREN MUNDINE: They need to look at why, celebrate what that cause did for us. You know, I'm a benefactor of that. I wouldn't be sitting here today except for the Tent Embassy and the people who did that.
But for the last 20 years it has become irrelevant. It has been hijacked by people who want to stick their own agendas on it.
LES MALEZER: Completely wrong in terms of saying it's irrelevant. I think that why so many people marched yesterday to come here and so many people are here have come through is to really say it is as relevant now as it was 40 years ago. And in some ways it's more relevant today.
BRONWYN HERBERT: That's Les Malezer who leads the National Congress of Australia's First Peoples.
He says the embassy is an important symbol of the ongoing struggle for Indigenous people.
LES MALEZER: Forty years ago we had politicians, we had senior lawyers, people who came, judges and so on sitting amongst us and so on.
Now I look around and I see Aboriginal and Torres Islander people all around me but I don't see any of those politicians and I don't see the legal people and the people that are in official and professional positions in Australia. They should be fighting for our rights and that's a big disappointment.
BRONWYN HERBERT: Why do you believe it's more relevant today than 40 years ago?
LES MALEZAR: Because 40 years ago the federal government only just assumed responsibilities for Aboriginal affairs. And 40 years ago the struggle was to try and get recognition towards the fact that we have land rights and we have right to our own political representation and political voice.
That recognition is no longer here today. It's not here. And in fact we can see examples of it in the last few years of knowing the Commonwealth Governments, the state and territory governments passing what is laws, bad laws through bad political process, undemocratic processes, processes they wouldn't use to pass laws about white people in this country and taking back control of all the services and the organisations that our people set up over these 40 years.
BRONWYN HERBERT: Celebrations for the Tent Embassy's 40th anniversary will continue over the weekend.
TANYA NOLAN: Bronwyn Herbert reporting.

Aboriginal leaders divided over Tent Embassy relevance

National League Standings, June 9, 2000
May 19, 2005
I was at Yankee Stadium for this one. When Piazza hit the grand slam, the Mets fans took over. The funniest thing was the level anguish the Yankees fans were in. It was like they were losing Game 7 of the World Series! Idiots...
There was a big brawl where I was sitting. There was this guy with a Mets banner the size of a bedspread and waving it. Some Yankees fan tried to rip it and a big fight broke out. The guy with the flag started jabbing a Yankee fan with the flagpole!
At that point the game was all but over. It was a good time to leave.
Example One
The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with
any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:
Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a
double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith
and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in
the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and
we would let it remain.
We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our
site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take
steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate
Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments,
and would thus be less enjoyable to visitors like you.
Thank you!
