Bangarang Release Candidate 1.0
The media player Bangarang has qualities that could soon make it the default player for KDE. This latest release fixes a few bugs and is compatible with KDE 4.4.
Among the features of the new KDE media player are mixed play lists for films and music and closer integration in the KDE 4 desktop. With the help of Nepomuk, Banagarang saves the ratings for videos and individual music and makes it available for other KDE applications. For example, the data manager Dolphin. For playback, Bangarang utilizes Phonon, therefore supporting all data formats of the Phonon backend.
The release candidate fixes issues in the meta data update and the album covers in ID3V2 tags. The meta data update of saved play lists now also functions as it should. Head developer, Andrew Lake, has also built in Dolphin drag&drop support, and added Chinese localization.

My numerous trips to places such as Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, the Bay Area, Point Reyes, Bodega Bay, Napa Valley, Sonoma County, the Gold Country, and Yosemite National Park have given me just a taste of the beauty and diversity that you can see in these images of Northern California:

Favouritism in Mutual Fund Families? Evidence on Strategic Cross-Fund Subsidization
We investigate whether mutual fund families strategically transfer performance across member funds to favour those more likely to increase overall family profits. We find that 'high family value' funds (i.e., high fees or high past performers) overperform at the expense of 'low value' funds. Such a performance gap is above the one existing between similar funds not affiliated with the same family. Better allocations of underpriced IPO deals and opposite trades across member funds partly explain why high value funds overperform. Our findings highlight how the family organization prevalent in the mutual fund industry generates distortions in delegated asset management.

Review by shawnd
This is a somewhat unreadable book detailing the life of Chaka, a unifying king of previously unaffiliated and often warring Southern African communities/kingdoms. The book is halting and the flow is strained. The author has jumbled spurts of accounts of the daily life of 19th century African tribal life, spiritual rituals, political philosophy, and other detail. This winds around the life story of Chaka, an orphan of sorts, born into a situation where everyone around him in power wants him dead or sent away. The story follows his life and extreme struggles to become the most powerful tribal king in recent memory in Southern Africa. The story is filled with myth almost enough to seem cosmological. One especially painful recurring gush is the repetitive, repeating discourses of Chaka's spiritual mentor/witch doctor, who says the same five sentences more than twenty times throughout the book. Ultimately Chaka returns to a small kinghood and slowly accumulates and stretches his realm. In the process, he betrays the one closest to him and becomes something very far from his original innocent self.
Review by StevenTX
Chaka, or "Shaka" as his name is more commonly written, was the greatest king of the Zulu nation, reigning from approximately 1816 to his death in 1828. Thomas Mofolo's novel presents Chaka as a tragic and semi-mythical hero who owed much of his military success to a Faustian deal with a sorcerer. From being a brave and virtuous youth, Chaka is corrupted by his unlimited ambition, becoming a cruel and ruthless conqueror who bases his power on the awe and fear he instills in his followers by arbitrarily killing friends and enemies alike, even members of his own family. Eventually he find himself hemmed in by his own web of fear and distrust.The basic facts in the novel are true to the historical record. Chaka is a king's oldest but illegitimate son, and he and his mother are banished from their homes because of his illegitimacy. His remarkable bravery and prowess in combat, however, earn Chaka the patronage of another king, Dingiswayo, to whom Chaka's father owes tribute. Through a mixture of violence and charisma, Chaka first succeeds his father, killing his younger brother in the process, then Dingiswayo himself. As king among kings, he revolutionizes the Zulu army by developing new weapons, tactics, organization and training regimens. He literally restructures Zulu society around his military aims, subordinating everything to conquest. The results are remarkably successful but devastating to the countryside and the people of southern Africa.The novel's Chaka gradually goes from being a sympathetic character, to a tragic hero, to a heinous villain. Chaka ceases to rely upon his own merits and depends on the magical aid of his mentor. This sends him into a spiral self-delusion and moral decay. This is a sophisticated and entertaining novel that teaches us much about Zulu culture and history, but whether it is a fair portrayal of Chaka is open to conjecture.

Have I ever mentioned I have the greatest husband in the world?
Well I do.
I know what you're thinking..."mine is better". NO! You would be lying. Mine is the greatest.
Does your husband mow the lawn without being asked?
Does he gladly bathe and change poopy bottoms?
Does he clean up your breakfast dishes because you made breakfast and fed him?
Does he refrain from rolling his eyes even though he knows you really don't need that new book or ebook, but you're going to buy it anyway?
Will he watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse instead of his football or hockey game just because your little one handed him the remote and said "bickey"?
See...I told you he is the GREATEST!
So when this arrived I was very excited.
Can you guess yet what it is?
Introducing...(drum roll please)....
That is right, my amazing husband bought me a New-to-ME sewing machine.
I've been BEGGING for a long time!
I'm mean come on, I do teach sewing and my Walmart machine just wasn't cutting it.
I wanted a machine you could throw across the room and it wouldn't break.
You know, the kind your Grandma had.
And if you know my husband you know that he researched and researched and went online to like a million places until he found exactly what he was looking for.
Which would have taken weeks and weeks!
Isn't she beautiful!!!
Thanks Love!

The Cleveland Browns own two picks in the first round of the NFL Draft, which gives them a great opportunity to improve a team that has lost at least 11 games each of the past six seasons.
Where the Browns go with the first pick depends on philosophy.
Is it essential that they draft a quarterback first and hope (like so many others) that he turns into the franchise player the team has lacked? If so, this brings one of three passers into play: Central Florida's Blake Bortles, Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater or Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel.
Or, do the Browns build a team and pick up a quarterback where they feel the value is right, either in the second round or third round? If that is the case the Browns could ponder linebacker/defensive end Jadeveon Clowney of South Carolina or receivers Marqise Lee of USC or Sammy Watkins of Clemson with their first selection.
The second pick -- 26th overall -- depends on the first of course, but the Browns have need at receiver, running back, guard, linebacker and the secondary. The one pick that would be the biggest surprise? A first-round running back. It seems unlikely the Browns would trade a running back like Trent Richardson and then draft another one high the next season.
Check out Mel Kiper's Mock Draft 1.0 to see what players he thinks the Browns should target with their first picks.

submenu bg color
I would like to change the color (or opacity) of the sub menu flyout (http://tnwida.wildapricot.org ) I'm using the tranquity theme. The sub menu color is a little hard to read, but I can't change it in the options anywhere - it's an background image in the theme. I don't want to do the theme override thing, cause this is my first time using WA, so I want to play it safe. It there any other way around this? CSS Customization maybe?

Here is the site
Hi Julie,
Please post a link to your website so I can take a look.
Julieb commented
I used your code you suggested to get ride of the background color -- I am using Nature Serenity. So the Blue is now gone. But I still can't figure out how to get ride of the green when you first pull over to the sub navigation? Is this where you said to use the background image code? If so, what size image do you use. I sure would appreicate any help you can offer. Your other suggestion worked perfectly to get rid of the blue!
Thank you,
You are FANTASTIC!
Create a new Page, and set it as "Admin Only". Then Create a new subpage which will be the Privacy page and make it visible to everyone. It won't be in the menu because the parent page isn't visible, but the subpage will be accessible via a link.
Something else I've asked but no one is getting back to me ...
Is there a way to create a page but not add it to the menu, like a Privacy and terms of use page?
Thanks for your time.
This isn't possible either, but if you make an image of the ArtText, you can set it as the background for the title bar of the Gadget using CSS.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - thanksvery much for your help.
Another question I had, but no one is answering the post, can I make the heading for the News and Events page ArtText?
No, adding opacity via CSS would make the entire element translucent, including the text.
You would need to create an image with the correct color and opacity and then use it as the background image for the submenu.
is there a way I can adjust the opacity of a solid colour?
You are correct, this theme uses an image for the submenu background. You can use CSS to change the image or set a solid color. Each of these are done on separate elements.
If you want to change the background image, use this (changing the image URL):
#idMainMenu .dynamicMenuLevelContainer ul.dynamic {
background-image: url("/resources/my-image.png") !important;
If you want to change the background to a solid color, use this (changing the color name/code):
#idMainMenu .dynamicMenuLevelContainer ul.dynamic li {
background-color: blue !important;

The east coast is facing another natural disaster – Hurricane Irene is heading for North Carolina, and the Red Cross is getting ready to provide relief.
Director of Health and Safety for the Muskingum Valley Chapter of the Red Cross Julie Davis said the organization isn't wasting any time.
"We don't wait until disaster hits," said Davis. "We have warehouses across the country filled with stuff ready to go."
Davis said one of Muskingum Valley's volunteers has been called to the scene to organize shelters. She said the Red Cross could ask for more volunteers from our area if the damage is severe enough.
"What we need to worry about in this area, because we're in a flood-prone area, is if a hurricane gets really bad there, we're going to get all that rain," said Davis. "When you get a lot of rain, you get a lot of flooding, so we may be having some of our own problems here."
Officials said Hurricane Irene has been upgraded to a Category 3 storm, and evacuations are underway in the Outer Banks region of North Carolina.

USB Sound Card or DAC
Does anyone know of a USB sound card or USB DAC that will work with Corsair SP2500 speakers and sound as good or better than the ASUS Xonar Essence STX sound card?

What is better? depends on the user and what they want or hear. What one person considers "great" someone else may consider mediocre.
e.g. I like the HT Omega sound cards better than the Xonar or SoundBlaster for PC audio. I have a (home) recording studio and I have other high end audio devices and studio monitors for that specific application. What I have some would consider "crap" and others wish they had it.

CEA Technology and Standards Dept Honored at NABRecognized for Standards Development and Broadcast Services Projects (April 19, 2005)
The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) department of Science and Technology honored the Consumer Electronics Association's (CEA) Technology and Standards Department during a dinner last night held in conjunction with the 59th annual NAB Broadcast Engineering conference. NAB honored CEA for work conducted over the years on standards and projects for broadcast services.
Upon accepting the honor on behalf of the association, CEA President and CEO Gary Shapiro stated:
"It is a great honor for CEA to receive this special recognition from NAB. This honor represents the hard work of our many volunteer leaders and staff, both past and present.

Indeed, it sometimes seems that the headlines only come when we have differences. But the truth is that together, we have changed the world.
"Our work has transformed cultures, blurred geographic borders, brought the sights and sounds of localized events to the world. And now, together, we are the vanguard of the digital revolution, bringing instantaneous access to information, entertainment and education content in a clarity of sight and sound that was only imagined by the early pioneers. Together, we can celebrate our collective past accomplishments even as we move forward to create new wonders."

I suppose that I still occasionally wonder if A4 would be better, but the cost and previous lack of colours other than black put me off. The A4 Finsbury has been available in the raspberry colour for some time now, but it's always been a bit too expensive for me. Thanks to Amazon, I managed to pick one up recently for nearly half price and thought that seeing one in the flesh would finally put my mind to rest on the matter!
On its arrival, I was a bit disappointed as it was packed between two flimsy pieces of cardboard in a plastic bag, with only paper for padding in the box. The poor strap had taken a bit of a battering and I think that Amazon could learn a lot from Steve about how to properly pack a Filofax for postage.
My first thought on removing the Finsbury was that this raspberry is not the colour of the fruit, as it's more of a pink/purple colour. On the Filofax site it is described as 'textured rambler print leather with hand finished colour'.
On the left hand side, there are four card slots, one mesh ID window, a leather pen loop, two full depth slots and a full length slip pocket behind. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture without inserts, but there is a notepad pocket on the right hand side and another leather pen loop. The ring mechanism is 25mm, and the spacing means that you could use a normal four hole punch.
I used a purple mini Finsbury as a wallet some years ago, but don't really have much experience with this model. Looking more closely at the leather, the finish almost reminds me of a leopard's spots, with some more faded areas which I think add a bit of interest. If I was using an A4 for work, I would happily get this out in a meeting as I feel that the colour would still look professional enough for me.
My personal Malden looks quite small in comparison.
Looking at some previous polls on 'what size Filofax organisers do you own?' in 2009 and 2011, it seems that the A4 isn't that popular when compared with other sizes. To be honest, it didn't take me very long to make my mind up about whether I would be keeping the Finsbury, and I have already returned it for a refund. Ultimately it's just a bit too big and it's helped me realise that A5 is perfect for when I want more space for storage, planning and organising projects. I can easily use an A5 at my desk with space to spare, and it wouldn't be too cumbersome if I wanted to take it to the library etc. However, I'm glad that I've had the chance to see one of these in the flesh to decide, and to be able to write a review to share it with you. Steve has also written a great post about his A4 Classic here for anyone that might be considering trying out this size.

The aging process brings its share of challenges and rewards. We recognize that God is continually at work in the lives of 55+ adults and has purpose and plans for us whether we are 9 or 99. At Huguenot Road Baptist Church, we seek to help mature adults stay connected and provide outlets for discipleship, service, fellowship, and education. Whether you are 55+ or someone interested in working with this population, we have a place for you! Don't hesitate to contact the church office if you have questions.
Our traditional senior adult ministries are focused around four main areas: discipleship, education, fellowship, and service. We remain an active part in the life of the church and the community. Many of our folks are serving daily in settings like leading Bible studies in assisted living facilities, mentoring students at a local elementary school, serving dinner to residents at Oregon Hill, and more. Our members are actively involved in Bible study on Sunday mornings as well as various times throughout the week. We also provide regular seminars on topics that are important to the aging population and their families.
Healing Hearts
The vision of this ministry is "To be a loving, compassionate, supportive group to those who have experienced the ultimate loss of a spouse by death. To be committed to minister as they work through their losses." While not exclusively a 55+ group, the Healing Hearts holds dear the words of II Corinthians 1:3-5 in supporting one another through the loss of a spouse. This ministry remains very active incorporating the activities like periodic meetings, service projects, regular phone contact, and mutual love and support to one another. If you have experienced the loss of a spouse and would like more information, please contact the church office.
Baby Boomers
For years, Baby Boomers have defined many aspects of our culture. For this generation born between 1946 and 1964, they have used their influence to alter the work force, change elections, and change the way products are marketed. Now community groups regularly sponsor forums discussing the impact this group will have on the culture as they age. At HRBC, we seek to be proactive in addressing Baby Boomer issues from a faith perspective. We also host a regular support group for Boomers who are providing care for a parent or loved one. Contact us for more information.

Low winter sun provides all the lighting required for these shots.

Trying to be creative in the woods, I used my flash gun on-camera with colour 'gels' – actually transparent sweet wrappers, to capture these images. Someone on Facebook said the featured image looked like a woodland barcode, hence the title of this post.

The last of the mist lingers in the field below the trees, as the cloud forms from the early morning, thick freezing fog. I've processed this in HDR to bring out the details of the sky, and you can see the movement of the cloud in the top of the image, even though there was a split second between exposures. I processed the 3 RAW exposures, (+2/0/-2), in Canon's DPP software and finished editing in PSE.

Accessing older, potentially unsafe buildings isn't easy in the UK, they're usually boarded up and fenced off, so it's nice when I find something I can attempt a shot of. This rickety old shed is in Rushmere Country Park, so I just had to try some shots. I've used on camera TTL flash and processed in HDR to bring out the detail and highlight with curve adjustments in Photoshop to enhance the old look.
Landscape HDR taken while sitting on the decking of the Rushmere Country Park Lodge & Cafe.
One of my favourite images from the recent photography trip to London, taken from a spot next to Shakespear's Globe Theatre (behind me as a I took the shot), the trees frame St Paul's Cathedral on the north side of the Thames, with interest added by the individual passing through the frame.
It's a little disappointing when you finally get a chance to enjoy a beautiful evening in the hope of a sunset shoot, however when nothing special materialised, my mind turned to trying something else, like these longer exposures as I drove home (2-5 seconds each). The tripod was firmly fixed between the car dashboard and passenger seat, and I used my transceivers to trigger the shutter as I drove along. Perfect timing too for the blue twighlight sky.

I'm keen to explore the new options my recently acquired 50mm F/1.8 provides, apart from the obvious benefits for portraits. I took these shots during a walk in Rushmere Park and I particularly like the depth it gives at the right aperture, to the woods disappearing into the distance.

There were some interesting comments following my recent "Into The Woods" post of abstract images, mostly from friends saying ' ok, so how on earth……….?!' I think that if I get the focal point right it looks like hidden portals. There are plenty of walks and suitable pathways around Leighton Buzzard – woodland and urban, that I intend to visit and keep developing this theme. This time I've kept the images colour, albeit desturated with in camera settings, as the start of autumn is adding some extra golds and browns. Images are as taken in-camera.
All Images Copyright Dale Rockell Photography
With an overcast day as I went for a weekend walk through the woods with my son I decided I to try something a bit different with my camera. More and more I want to create something in-camera rather than spending too much time processing in Photoshop, so I experimented with a longer exposure to try and create a more mystical walk through the woods theme in monochrome. What do you think? All of these images are straight from camera, and now I have the bug to create more abstract images in various locations.

Man of Desire
Original TitleL'Homme de désir
- Director: Dominique Delouche
- Writer: Dominique Delouche
CGiii Comment
Etienne Christian, a writer, stops one day and takes Rudy, a boy rebel into his car. In the car, the tension mounts. Etienne can not help but look insistently at the young man, so much so that it's almost indecent.
The teenager, he quietly steals money from his wallet. Hardly had the two been met and Stephen feels that an obsession is being born. He definitely wants to see him again.
Rudy is a boy with a fuzzy personal history, who spends his time hanging out in the streets with his gang of thugs, making half hustling, stealing and physically assaulting men who came looking for youngsters for a fun time.
Etienne on the other hand, lives in a beautiful house with his wife Valentine (Emmanuelle Riva of "Hiroshima Mon Amour") that on their wedding day told him " I love you too much to love only you." The couple obviously is having an open relationship and it is understood they have already experienced a triangular relationship with a young woman.
Etienne speak rather freely to his wife about his feelings for Rudy . But still some hypocrisy: he says he wants to help them get back on the right track when in reality he is obsessed by his youth and desire he bears . Rudy finally agreed to see him and even come spend a weekend in the bourgeois couple. Between hatred and repressed desire, it ends up no longer support the false calm atmosphere of a home where everything is subject to ambiguity. Gradually, Etienne is lost in his fascination and desire to possess Rudy, to the point of hurt and put his own life at stake...

Measures to improve local environments take shape
Proposals for improving local environmental quality which were first mooted by the Environment Department (DEFRA) two years ago have been firmed up and extended in a further consultation paper.1 A range of new statutory powers for tackling fly-tipping, litter, abandoned vehicles, graffiti and other nuisances is proposed - along with other provisions on waste and contaminated land which DEFRA is hoping to squeeze into a pre-election environment Bill.

This simple chair moving device makes mealtimes safer and easier when moving people to and from the meal table.
Over one thousand customers have experienced how the millie-mova chair moving system for disabled and elderly people improves the day to day working lives for carers and family members.
Unlike other possible solutions to the problem of moving elderly or disabled people whilst safely seated, the chair fitted with a millie-mova retains high stability when unoccupied. This means that a person unsteady on their feet can lean on the chair and it does not "scoot" away from them. This could lead to a fall, with dire consequences. The braking system is AUTOMATIC.
Why should I use it?
It will protect the carer from injury. It will make mealtimes far less of a chore. The seated person will enjoy a far more dignified mealtime. The chair and floor will last much longer.
How does it work?
It is a simple lever with wheels. On pressing the pedal it lifts the front chair legs off the ground and onto the wheels. Combined with the rear wheels this makes it much easier to move the occupied chair forwards or backwards. Simply point the chair where you want it to go, press the lever and move. Do not move more than your stride allows – make two or three shorter runs, if necessary.
Is it safe?
The device is suitable for clients up to 130kg. It is fail-safe, in that if it broke mechanically (very unlikely) the chair would return to normal. Unlike some devices purporting to solve this problem it does not make the chair too easy to move – an obvious potential hazard with people that are unsteady on their feet. The kit provides extra stability for the front legs as it contains two high-friction rubber discs for the bottom of the front legs. Ferrules are required for metal leg chairs to provide the same stability.
How do I know if it will fit my chair(s)?
The millie-mova system will fit most chairs. If it does not fit, then return the millie-mova system and we will refund your money. The only significant issue that could make it unsuitable is if the chair has a very low crossbar (below 3 inches from the floor).
It will fit even if your chair legs are round, not vertical, metal or plastic.
Can Jenry Ltd fit them?
We provide only a local service (Dorset), but any DIYer or Handyman will find it easy.
Can I fit it to "ski" chairs?
Yes, if you remove the skis by unscrewing them. The wooden skis are redundant.
What warranty do you offer?
We supply a two year warranty as standard. We have an outstanding reliability record.
How may I buy one or more?
You can phone, email or text. We can discuss your requirements and send you what you need.
I am not part of an organisation, just a private carer at home – can I buy?
Yes, of course.
Do you negotiate deals for larger numbers purchased?
Yes, no problem.
I live in Europe/the USA – can I purchase here?

Beverly Elliott, Abbeyfield Winchester, 2014
I stumbled upon this small business by chance when looking for a chair that I could buy for an elderly resident with mobility difficulties. Rather than buying a new expensive chair this gadget enables current chairs to be adapted meaning that my resident is able to join others at meal times and her chair looks the same as everyone else's. Having seen the demonstration I was absolutely bowled over at what a simple yet effective idea this was. In fact when my own father's mobility was affected and my mother had difficulty getting him close enough to the meal table. I immediately knew the answer and so I bought a Millie-Mova system for his chair. This gadget means that the carer does not harm themselves and the chair is not damaged either. Often the simplest ideas are the best and this is one of those occasions'
You can buy the Millie-Mova today on Really Useful Stuff for just £49.98 making this a very affordable easy adjustment

The closest I've come to playing polo is wearing the shirts. Yet here I am in the middle of a scrubby patch of grass in northern Thailand, helmet on head, stick in hand, waiting for a chance to score.
Someone shoots the ball my way. I lean over, swing, and thwack! It rolls through a maze of mallets and animal legs and dribbles past the posts. One nil. The crowd goes … well, the crowd cheers politely. My teammates and I congratulate each other. Then I give credit where credit is due: to the roughly two-tonne elephant I'm sitting on and her mahout, or keeper.
" Khob khun krub," I say to Hum, thanking him in Thai before slapping Nam Phun's rubber-thick skin. It's unlikely she notices.
Elephant polo, which sounds like a bastard child of colonialism, is the last thing I imagined myself doing on this trip, or even in this life. My match on this hot day in February capped off a weekend of firsts that included bathing with these gentle giants, tearing around a Myanmarese border town in a tuk-tuk, and downing shots of cobra whisky from Laos. And to think things started out so simply.
" Sawadee ka, welcome," Kookkai and Beau say in unison when we arrive at the pier for the Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle. My wife and I are a little groggy after the 12-hour journey from Tokyo, but excited to be in this storied part of the world, where the borders of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos meet, where farmers and various hill tribes once harvested the world's largest supply of opium and heroin. The poppies are largely gone now, at least in Thai territory, replaced by tea and tobacco, coffee and pineapples.
We board a long-tail boat and speed down the cappuccino-coloured Ruak River, floating in a watery no man's land that divides two countries, with the hills of a third in the distance. Rounding a bend, the first of the camp's 15 tents appear up ahead, sitting serenely on a ridge and framed by bamboo. Once onshore, Kookkai leads us up a steep set of stairs
"We apologize there's no gym," she says over her shoulder. "We will keep you walking though."
No joke. Over cool, lemon grass-infused drinks, the staff outline the packed itinerary: a day trip to markets and temples in northern Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos; a morning spent riding elephants; and an afternoon at the camp's open-air spa to chase away aches and pains.
But first, sunset cocktails. After resting in our luxurious Asian-design-meets-African-safari tent – with its views of Myanmar's southeastern flank – we head to the bar for a drink.
Spending time with elephants is the main reason people come to this secluded spot. Thais have relied on the animals for centuries to help them succeed at war and work, but a ban on logging in the late 1980s left thousands of mahouts without a way to feed their hungry charges. The Four Seasons and another hotel support the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, a conservation group that provides a living for mahouts who would otherwise take their animals to urban areas to beg or work in entertainment. Now, the foundation's 30 elephants spend their days digesting thousands of pounds of sugar cane, bamboo and bananas and lumbering through the jungle with tourists on their backs.
Before we get up close and personal with the pachyderms (for polo and other pursuits), we decide to visit the neighbours. A cool morning finds us motoring along the Mekong River to the Thai town of Chiang Saen, where our guide, Somkid, takes us to the local market. Outside, vendors sell barbecued fish and deep-fried chicken heads. Inside, tables are loaded with everything from lettuce and tomatoes to fresh rice noodles and meat. A woman sits crouched in one corner selling live frogs, bound into bunches of 10 by a thin piece of bamboo that's woven through their legs. Next to her, someone hawks ant eggs.
"What do you do with those," I ask Somkid, gesturing to what looks like a pile of tapioca.
"Sometimes you make a sauce," he replies. "Make it a bit spicy or sour or sweet, and just mix the eggs inside, uncooked."
The lunch we eat on the drive to Myanmar seems tame in comparison – sandwiches and vegetable fried rice. Fresh from a blessing by a monk at the Wat Chedi Luang, a 14th-century Buddhist temple, we've crossed the border and are now silently cheering on our tuk-tuk driver as he wills his sputtering, three-wheeled contraption uphill to the Tachilek Shwedagon Pagoda.
"This is a replica of the golden pagoda in Yangon," Somkid tells us as we walk sock-footed around the 32-metre structure, built for the faithful who are unable to make the 1,100-kilometre trip to the former capital. Rubber trees dot the surrounding slopes. On the streets below, people navigate a bustling market on the hunt for CDs, DVDs, clothing, bags, jewellery and much more, the vast majority of the products knock-offs from China.
"Even the liquor is fake," Somkid warns us.
Happy as we were to have seen a snapshot of Myanmar, we were happier to get back to our tent in the jungle, where our days began at dawn watching a curtain of mist rise to reveal the Myanmarese countryside and listening to the free-jazz soundtrack of birds, bugs and snorting, trumpeting elephants. Most guests rely on superlatives and hyperbole to describe their time here: beautiful, gorgeous, once-in-a-lifetime. Our experience wasn't any different. It was thrilling to amble through the forest atop the elephants, beings only God, nature or George Lucas could have created. They would stop every so often to snake their trunks up trees to snag succulent leaves or snap off a branch. " Pai, pai," the mahouts would say, urging them forward.
So slow and languid are their movements that few guess that they can actually run, which is why I'm surprised to find myself atop one of them, charging down a field after a small, white ball. We arranged the pickup game the night before after a round of Laotian cobra whisky shots – the snake still in the bottle, a scorpion in its mouth. A team of pros, led by millionaire Texas oilman Ed Story, played the first match of the morning. Then I took to the field with a ragtag bunch of amateurs that included a business consultant from Mexico, a model from the Netherlands and a fashion photographer from London.
"I'm coming for you, Ed," I shout toward the sidelines, seconds after I score. But the euphoria soon wears off. When the final whistle blows, my team loses 2-1. Still, after dismounting, I hint I'll be back in March to take part in the tournament marking Thailand's Elephant Day. Ed Story, a fierce competitor, dashes my dreams. "You did well," he says in his southern drawl. "But you had the best elephant and the best mahout."
I agree with him. How could I not – he sponsored the match. But between you and me, I'm confident I've uncovered a hidden talent, one that will surely spice up my résumé. At least around these parts.

The 2013 Lexus GS will make its formal debut on August 18 at the Parc du Concours in Pebble Beach, California. The production model was expected to arrive soon after Lexus displayed the LF-Gh concept at the New York Auto Show as a teaser. According to sources, the production GS is nearly identical to the LF-Gh concept in terms of looks.
The GS 350, which will soon have its debut in California, is powered by the 3.5-liter V-6 engine that's used throughout the Lexus portfolio.
It's believed that there won't be an eight-cylinder option as the new GS Hybrid, which uses that same V-6 mated to Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive system, will be the range-topping model for now and in the near future. Motor Trend said that the most significant changes are centered on the driving dynamics and sheet metal.
The LF-Gh concept may have a drastically different look from the current model but modifications to its suspension and steering are expected to increase the refinement and agility of the luxury sport sedan.
Those who want a sportier version will be glad to know that Lexus offers an F Sport package, which won't feature the IS-F's V-8. Instead, it has been fitted with larger wheels and tires, larger front brakes, and a new four-wheel steering system that can revise the toe setting of the rear wheels and boost cornering ability. Dealerships will get the GS just in time for the beginning of the 2013 model year.
The engineering team behind the design of the new Lexus GS wanted the new model to convey agility and strength. The engineering team also wanted a more fun drive for Lexus GS drivers. To do this, they created a new aerodynamic body that has a stiffer structure and a wider stance. They also threw in a transmission that allows for quicker shifting and a distinct purr coming from the engine and the exhaust.
The re-engineered platform is now more rigid than previous models with the addition of more spot welds as well as the addition of laser welds at specific places. The wider track now has 40 mm more at the front and 50 mm at the back. This further helps the suspension design to give the car a more stable appearance as well as outstanding cornering capabilities.
The new suspension system guides the new Lexus GS with precise cornering. The front has aluminium upper and lower controls that have bigger bushings, while the rear subframe was redesigned to be able to take in the new multi-link suspension. With the modified design, control at the rear end is now enhanced. The stiffer platform and the use of lightweight materials as well as the lighter viscosity oil in the shock absorbers result to faster responses to even the smallest inputs. Aluminium lessens unsprung weight and this makes the car more agile and the ride more comfortable, on top of helping increase the precision of steering and body control. The ventilated disc brakes have four piston aluminum front calipers and have been fitted with the latest electronic improvements to give better braking control and balance.
The devil is in the details
The exterior of the new Lexus GS brings together distinctive style and functionality. It sports a sculpted exterior that hints at the carmaker's new design philosophy that will be seen more in new models.
The details of the Lexus GS include fins being embedded into the sides of the tail lamps and the boot area being redesigned to direct airflow over the car and go past it. The spindle grille has trapezoidal contours placed into the more athletic front bumper for easier airflow. The signature design feature is combined with high-tech headlights and LED daytime running lamps and gives the car a more confident character. The headlights feature a projector beam design, which gives way to outstanding illumination, and a chiseled look.
In profile, the Lexus GS looks very spacious, with a road-hugging appearance. The lower door sills are tapered and the front overhang is short, giving the GS a moving and dynamic appearance. Meanwhile, the wheel arches give it a more athletic look.
The rear bumper has a diffuser and aero fins to help the control of airflow beneath the body. The rear bumpers also have the L-shaped LED lights that you see up front. All in all, looking at the Lexus GS from the back, you could guess just how high-performing it could be.
Lastly, the paint technology has been improved on, helping make the understated bodylines noticeable and giving the surface a finely buffed look. Glass flakes were mixed into the paint, giving the color high luster and brilliance.
Even the paint technology has been developed to make subtle bodylines more noticeable and for the surface to appear more finely polished. New colours will benefit from glass flakes incorporated into the coating, adding a high level of brilliance. The engineers at Lexus have also come up with an improved coating technology that makes the paint more radiant looking, with an additional metallic texture that helps give the paint sharp and defined highlights.

Chuck Norris
March 1, 2012 by staff
Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris is in a pitched battle against an 18th-century empress – and he's kicking her butt.
The Slovak Republic government has set up an online contest to allow the public to name a bridge stretching across the Morava River to Austria, Reuters reports.
The way it's going now the Chuck Norris Bridge is looking like a real possibility.
The polling will end in April, but as of Thursday the "Lone Wolf McQuade" star has got 74% of the ballots with 1,175 votes. The dead Hapsburg royal Maria Theresa has been left in the dust with just 8%, according to the wire service.

Re: how to change radio button value dynamically
If this is a JavaScript question, the value of the radio button is determined by the currently checked choice:
function fnGetRadio(pRadio) {
// get the value of the currently selected radio button
for ( var i = 0; i < pRadio.length; i++)
if (pRadio[i].checked)
return pRadio[i].value

Made in the USA — Supplier Connection Program
Caterpillar is bringing jobs and manufacturing back from Japan. Ford is investing in and adding hundreds of jobs at an engine factory in Ohio. And, as the President said in his State of the Union address, Apple will start making Macs in America again. These decisions build on the momentum we are seeing in American manufacturing, which has added over half a million U.S. jobs in the last 37 months, the most of any such period since 1986. According to the Boston Consulting Group, on-shoring of U.S. manufacturing is likely to continue as companies recognize higher U.S. worker productivity, increasing labor costs abroad, and other logistical advantages of U.S.-based production.
So what can government and the private sector do to further fuel this trend? And how can we strengthen what Gary Pisano and Willy Shih, of Harvard Business School, refer to as "the commons" – the local business environments where manufacturers draw their resources, their workforce and where they connect to local suppliers?
Strengthen America's Supply Chains
Harvard Business School's Michael Porter and Jan Rivkin noted in FORTUNE that "companies find huge advantages with excellent, nearby suppliers – low logistical costs, rapid problem solving and easier joint innovation." To strengthen America's supply chains, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has launched an Administration-wide initiative called the American Supplier Initiative.

Then you have Virtual Servers, that are great for E-Commerce. And finally, dedicated servers. Make sure you read up on what each of these are, so when talking to the web hosting companies, you won't be sold the wrong server, which means wrong pricing.
Other items you want to research on the hosting companies is their customer service, reviews on hosts, how much storage the host provides. As well as, additional services provided, bandwidth, connection speed and uptime claims. Finally, make sure they host has ALL the proper security tools.

St. Louis, MO/December 19, 2016 (STLMedia.Agency) As the year is quickly sneaking upon us one likes to look back on ones accomplishment (s) to evaluate their contribution to their company, family, clients and even society. While St. Louis Media, LLC was only founded in 2014 there have been many accomplishments. But 2016 appears to have been a successful year.
One of the most important tasks that we provide to our clients is traffic. Traffic to a business website does convert into dollars at some point in time. A business can build a website, but if prospective customers do not know that you exist the chances of them running across your business in a Google organic search are very slim if non-existent.
Our top priorities are to design attractive websites that are "search engine friendly". Meaning, if somebody searches for a web designer in the St. Louis area through a Google search that your website will show up on the first or even second page of the results. If you are found on page 10 your website is doing very little from a marketing perspective.
Nonetheless, our two primary focuses are to build attractive websites that are search engine friendly. Part of what the major search engines take into consideration when deciding where to rank a business website is the quality of the design, keywords, and inbound links.
To further assist our customers we have created several websites that will help our customers be found either in a directory or even in Google News, Bing News, Apple News, News360.com or more.
