[ 9/10 ]
Great place to go for the winter. Heated pool and hot pool were both very clean as were the showers and the rest rooms. You can practice your golf swing at the onsite driving net. The only downfall is the Marines Air base is across the hwy. They fly jets out of here and they are very loud at take off and landing.

This campground was clean and a great campground for a overnight stay. Not much to do here. If looking for a fun place to take the family this is not the place. I would camp here again for an overnight stay but would not spend a weeks vacation here.

Meramec Valley Camp Resort

I have been camping here since 2005 and have seen a big change occurring here. The park is under new management and has a new Board of Directors that seems to be committed to turning this park around. Many improvements have happened in the last 2 years. Campsites have been leveled and the roads have been repaired. This is a great family park with many weekend activities for all ages. I will continue to camp here.

Over the past seven decades, various actors have portrayed Bruce Wayne, a.k.a. Batman, in the movies, on television, and even on the radio.
So let's get to it. Please /msg or email me if you feel that I've left somebody out.
At some point in the future perhaps another actor could be added to this list, playing Bruce Wayne on Smallville. Series writers have been wanting to work him in for years and cruelly teasing fans of the show with the possibility. All they've gotten so far is one mention of Gotham City in a 2006 episode.
By the way, this list is by no means complete; these are just the notable ones that come to my mind. For a surprisingly long list, check this page out on IMDB.com (thanks rooty).

Frequently Asked Questions
1 . What is the definition of research?^
2 . When and why do I need to be concerned about research review at GU?^
2. Before starting a project at GU, all proposed research using human participants must be evaluated and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). In addition, some classifications of ongoing research are reviewed annually or when certain changes are made to the research's scope or activities. The University requires that all research be conducted within the highest possible legal requirements and ethical principles.
3. Legal requirements to protect human participants apply to a much broader range of research than you may realize. Often, additional ethical standards are applied in many disciplines.
4. Faculty, staff, or students conducting human participants research, or involved as key personnel in a research or training project, may complete an online educational tutorial. This tutorial is accessed through the National Institutes of Health, Office of Human Subjects Research website: http://ohsr.od.nih.gov/
3 . What kind of projects are reviewed and what standards are used?^
Private information, such as survey responses, educational records, medical information, etc., that can be identified with an individual - even if the information was not specifically collected for your research;
Legal permission from adults, minors, and children, such as the need for Informed Consent, the kind(s) of consent needed, and the manner of obtaining consent;
Safeguards, such as plans that must be put into place for protecting the confidentiality of the participants and tier relatives;
Materials, such as cells, blood, urine, tissues, organs, hair or nail clippings, etc. - even if you did not directly collect these materials; and audio and videotape materials.
4 . Why is Informed Consent required from human participants?^
5 . What are the responsibilities of GU's IRB?^
2. Evaluation of all proposals for initial (new) research, usually within 5-15 calender days.
3. Classification of all approved research proposals through one of these processes:
4. Continuing Reviews of ongoing research held (a) annually, or (b) when changes are made to a project that may result in a different classification.
6 . If I obtain all the data from collaborators, do I need to obtain IRB review of my initial research proposal and reviews of ongoing research?^
7 . Where on the Internet can I find help and additional information about researching human participants?^
(Federal) Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/ The Belmont Report http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/humansubjects/guidance/belmont.htm

In Victoria serving Vancouver island, the Gulf Islands, Powell River and Haida Gwaii
Scammers have been making phone calls posing as representatives of the Canadian Do Not Call List. The calls claim to provide an opportunity to sign up for the registry or ask consumers to verify their info. Of course, the callers are really trying to solicit personal information, which opens victims up to identity fraud.How the Scam Works:Someone calls you claiming to represent Canada's National Do Not Call List. The registry "official" asks for personal information, such as name, address and Social Insurance Number. The scam has several variations. In one, the caller wants to verify that you are on the National Do Not Call Registry. In another, he/she claims to give you a chance to register your phone number.Just hang up the phone; this situation is always a scam. Representatives from the registry will not call you. And sharing personal with the caller will just put you at risk for identity theft.How to Protect Yourself from Scam Calls: Don't share your personal information if someone calls you claiming to represent the Do Not Call Registry.Do not call the scammers back.Remember that your participation in the National Do Not Call List does not expire. Do not listen to claims otherwise.If you want to add your number to the Do Not Call Registry, go to https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/index-eng. If you want to verify your number, do so via the registry's website.To find out more about scams, check out the new BBB Scam Stopper at: http://www.bbb.org/scam-stopper/

The Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department (A/TCHHSD) has confirmed the deaths of two Travis County residents from West Nile Neuroinvasive Disease, a more serious form of West Nile Virus. The two people who died did match the CDC's profile for those at highest risk of severe illness--over 50 years of age with underlying health conditions.
The deaths occurred on 10/31/2012 and 11/6/2012. Onset of illness occurred 9/21/2012 and 9/17/2012. Until July of this year, Travis County had not had any reported cases of West Nile Virus (WNV) in humans since 2008 with the last reported WNV fatalities in 2007. Since July, the A/TCHHSD Epidemiology and Health Statistics Unit has investigated 142 reported confirmed and probable cases of WNV. That number includes the most recently reported deaths. Thus far this year Travis County has confirmed 5 human deaths attributed to West Nile Virus. Cooler weather has led to a significant decrease in mosquito activity in recent weeks. The last onset of human illness was reported on October 10, 2012.

In fish gelatin gelcaps! Exclusive crystal-free CoQ10 for superior absorption
Q-Best® is a proprietary, crystal-free preparation of coenzyme Q10 (aka ubiquinone) that consistently has demonstrated superior absorption over other forms of CoQ10, including dry powder, oil-based softgels, lipsosomes, micelles, and nanoparticle preparations.
All supplemental CoQ10 originates in a crystal (dry powder) form. However, this crystal form alone is not well absorbed because the crystals do not fully dissolve in the intestines and the body cannot absorb lipid crystals. When crystals are dissolved in a lipid-based delivery system (ie, oil-based softgels, liposomes, micelles, and nanoparticles), absorption is improved. However, there is still partial crystallization found in these preparations.
Q-Best provides CoQ10 in a fully dissolved, crystal-free, lipid-based form, allowing greater absorption by the intestinal mucosa. This is accomplished by a proprietary, tri-lipid delivery system. One lipid keeps the CoQ10 crystals fully dissolved at 10°C above body temperature; the second lipid keeps the CoQ10 crystals fully dissolved below body temperature; and the third lipid acts as a carrier molecule to facilitate absorption.
Clinical trials demonstrate superior absorption over dried powder preparations. In addition, a plasma CoQ10 bioavailability study observed absorption of Q-Best to be vastly greater than other forms of CoQ10, including oils suspension, nanoparticle, and liposomal preparations. This is why we believe Q-Best is the best CoQ10 formula available today.
Coenzyme Q10 functions as an intracellular antioxidant.* Due to its involvement in energy production within the cell, CoQ10 affects the function of all cells in the body, making it essential for the health of tissues and organs.* CoQ10 particularly benefits the most metabolically active cells: heart, immune system, gingiva, and gastric mucosa.* An adequate supply of intracellular CoQ10 is vital to the health of heart muscle.* CoQ10 supports normal heart rhythm and can help maintain already normal blood pressure.*

Implementation of Revised Absentee Ballot by Mail (ABBM) Form
To: | County Clerks/Elections Administrators |
From: | Ann McGeehan, Director of Elections |
Date: | July 12, 2010 |
RE: | Implementation of Revised Absentee Ballot by Mail (ABBM) Form |
Based on changes recommended by the Election Forms Focus Group comprised of county election officials, we have revised the official application for absentee ballot by mail form. The form has been designed to be more user friendly and we hope that it will be easier for your staff to process them as well. The new form does not incorporate any new laws or procedures so if you have a large supply of the older form, you may exhaust your current stock.
The new form is designed as a self-mailer for the voter, but when you mail out the blank form, you will need to mail it in a number #14 size envelope from office supply stores or from your local printer.
The new form includes fold lines and an adhesive seal with perforated tabs which will protect the voter's personal information once it has been filled out and folded in half. Voters will return the new form to counties as a bi-folded mailer. Upon receipt, election officials will have to break the perforated tabs to view voter information. Once the perforations are torn, the new ABBM forms will fit an 8 ½ x 11 inch personal scanner.
We have enclosed a small supply of new forms, and the new form has been sent to all certified printers. If you need to order a large volume of forms, please contact your printer as usual. If you wish to obtain a camera ready copy of the form, please contact our office.

More and more U.S. companies are generating an increasing share of their revenues from export sales. Over the years, a significant portion of these export sales have shifted towards open account terms with no payment guarantees (such as a traditional letter of credit). As the Ex-Im Bank explains, savvy CFOs should consider leveraging export credit insurance.

MORGANTOWN - Cleaning out a crowded notebook and a cluttered mind on the 10th anniversary of what was essentially the end of the most comfortable period ever in West Virginia University athletics:
Ah, those were the days.
No, it wasn't the most successful era, or the most financially rewarding. It wasn't the longest, either, by any stretch.
But the baker's dozen years between 1991 and 2003 marked the end of WVU's long search for an identity. The Big East, in order to satisfy its members, had delved into football and invited the Mountaineers to the party. Five years later, they would include WVU in the basketball party. After a quarter century of searching for a league and an identity since leaving the Southern Conference, the school had pretty much everything it ever hoped for.
And then 10 years ago Monday, the ACC's presidents formally voted to invite Miami and Virginia Tech. Boston College would soon follow. It was the beginning of the end for the Big East and a signal to other leagues and schools across the country that the free-for-all for greener pastures was on.
No, it didn't happen right away.
It was two more years before the Big East began plucking clean Conference USA. It was another seven before Colorado and Nebraska left the Big 12 for the Pac-12 and the Big Ten, respectively. Then all hell broke loose with Pitt, Syracuse, TCU, Boise State, Louisville, Rutgers, Maryland (and so many others as fallout) either coming or going, sometimes both.
Complain all you'd like about the seismic shift in the college landscape and the still-escalating arms race that has
gone along with it. Bemoan West Virginia's part in it or celebrate the school's soon-to-be-escalating wealth as a result of it, that's your choice.
But don't pretend that you don't yearn for a simpler time in which the Big East football conference was both strong and regional, the basketball assemblage was the best going and West Virginia was a part of it.
That ended 10 years ago Monday and your life as a fan hasn't been the same since.
Why I remember this so vividly so many years after the fact I'm not sure, but one of the best college football recruiters in the country once said that getting a verbal commitment from the players in the area he recruited often guaranteed only one thing.
"Most times,'' he said, "it means you're going to be one of his five visits.''
I guess that sticks with me because I'm continually amazed that media coverage (read: internet) of recruiting continues to expand. Just when you thought the monthly whims of 17-year-old athletes couldn't be chronicled any more comprehensively, they become the weekly whims, sometimes the daily whims.
This is not meant to criticize the athletes themselves, because they are merely the fodder for recruitniks. If they weren't being asked daily and incessantly about their state of mind regarding their college choices, they might just sit back and weather the onslaught of recruiters (another story, by the way) without uttering a peep.
Granted, some take to the attention and play it for all it's worth, enjoying the celebrity status of it all. But you also have to wonder how many simply commit to a school, then to another, then another, just to end a conversation.

Improve performance tweak
I've got a hunch regarding why the stock launcher is so slow versus other launchers, and I'd love for someone with a Marquee to try this out.
Before doing anything else (for the sake of a controlled experiment) download Quadrant, neocore, or any benchmarking app that display frames per second, and run it first, taking note of the displayed fps.We're going to see if that changes later.
Then (assuming you are rooted), remove or move libGLES_android.so from the system/lib/egl directory. I would recommend moving instead of deleting, just in case you want to put it back (as some apps may rely on it to work).
Reboot and run the benchmark again. Is the FPS higher now? How about the stock launcher? If so, its a standard issue that has to do with Android and the PowerVR GPU. Apparently, the Optimus Black runs its own launcher which knows how to utilize the GPU properly, whereas the stock Android launcher on the Marquee relies on this driver (which is conflicting with GPU acceleration). Removing the driver forces it to use the GPU (in most cases- in other cases it may cause a force close). That would really explain a lot of the initial experience complaints I was talking about!

Re: Improve performance tweak
Moving the libGLES_android.so file did produce different end results w/ running Quadrant Standard
1st run:
1st Graphic: 13 FPS
2nd Graphic (Hallway) : 14-20 FPS
3rd Graphic (Moons): 8-9 FPS
4th Graphic (Blue/Red): 12-14 FPS
Quadrant Score: 851
2nd Run
1st Graphic: 13 FPS
2nd Graphic (Hallway) : 20 FPS
3rd Graphic (Moons): 40 FPS
4th Graphic (Blue/Red): 20 FPS
Quadrant Score: 1207
I appreciate the effort & your suggestion here. Although my results showed improved numbers, I didn't really notice "improved performance". I am not looking to fight w/ you but if I could make a suggestion to change this threads title as it could be perceived as misleading (I came here thinking there was a tweak here to improve performance). Yes there is an increased Quadrant score but there was ZERO noticeable difference w/ the stock launcher lag (unfortunately, the lag is still there).
My opinion is the stock launcher lag may be caused from a poor value set internally for its scrolling speed & opening/closing speed...I feel this way because once I tried other Launchers, the phone seemed to fly...
Personally, I am not really looking for the stock launcher to work faster as even if it was buttery smooth I would prefer to use a Launcher that I can customize a bit more (for example, I am not a fan of having a big "D" on the homescreen that I cannot remove )
For anyone considering this phone, If you have the phone & feel its "laggy" or want to be able to change your phones appearance, try out a different Launcher app from the market. There are quite a few of them, my suggestion is to try them out & find the one that works best for you. I can tell you this, for me installing Launcher Pro has definitely improved my overall feel of the phone. If the phone came stock w/ Launcher Pro installed there would be NO ONE talking about a "laggy" MarqueeLast edited by nosajsam; 11-22-2011 at 08:16 PM.

Re: Improve performance tweak
::scratches head:: you don't consider the openGL test going from 8-9FPS to a very respectable 40FPS a performance tweak?
Its a shame it didn't have any effect on the stock launcher, I was really hoping they would be related. But this is still something- as you pointed out, the stock launcher is sort of irrelevant at this point. But this tweak means certain heavy GPU related 3D games that may have had poor performance previously will run as smoothly as other modern handsets (as they should have all along).
Have you noticed any app or widget compatibility broken with this? - 11-22-2011, 11:31 PM #4
Re: Improve performance tweak
There is an obvious difference in numbers between 9 FPS & 40 FPS but because of how I use the phone, this change was unnoticeable. Let me clarify so to not be misunderstood, I didn't notice any change in the way MY phone was running with this change.
I use my phone for well....a phone.
I call, text, occasionally check email/go online. I am not a high tech, 3d gamer type looking to hopefully one day use their phone to launch the next space shuttle but more of a casual, average daily phone user.......yep, basically I'm boring.
With that said, I might be the wrong person to be doing this type of test as I really don't have many apps installed. Except for extended controls, I don't have or use any widgets & I don't use my phone to play games etc....but for someone who does, yes it is an improvement.
I do have a little bit more than average tech knowledge & experience (just unfortunately nowhere near enough to really get into & dissect this phone)
Since I do have the phone I am willing to try out any apps/widgets/games etc. that you think may benefit from this to see if there is any problems/compatibility issues....let me know.Last edited by nosajsam; 11-23-2011 at 09:02 AM.
Re: Improve performance tweak
follow up
Out of curiosity I moved the libGLES_android.so file back, rebooted & ran quadrant standard again.
3rd run:
1st Graphic: 13 FPS
2nd Graphic (Hallway) : 14-20 FPS
3rd Graphic (Moons): 8-9 FPS
4th Graphic (Blue/Red): 12-14 FPS
Quadrant Score: 1158
As you can see although the FPS numbers have once again decreased while the overall end score isn't too far off. Maybe you can add some incite as to why this is (sometimes these end numbers don't always make sense to me).Last edited by nosajsam; 11-23-2011 at 10:18 AM.

Re: Improve performance tweak
Wow, you sound like someone who has been using a Touch Pro 2 device for too long... Oh wait.
I'm just messing with you. But people do expect their handsets to be more than "just a phone" these days.
Anyway, back on topic- Things like augmented reality, 3D simulations and real time processing effects are likely effected by tweaks like this, not just games. Heck, having the GPU handle more of the load might actually take some stress off the CPU and save battery power, even if you don't notice more fps in benchmarks.
Who knows. Maybe keep an eye on that and see what else is effected by this change?
Since I do have the phone I am willing to try out any apps/widgets/games etc. that you think may benefit from this to see if there is any problems/compatibility issues....let me know.
Well, the benchmark tool tests all kinds of things- databse queries, h.264 encoding/decoding, memory read/write speeds, etc. The problem is, sometimes those numbers can vary wildly based on what the handset is doing. For example, a database query could be cached in a particularly fast memory address and give the result sooner on one test versus another. Or perhaps Android had to close an application in the background the first time in order to make room for the H.264 decoding results. Android is very complex, and this is why benchmark scores must be taken with a grain of salt. There is usually a range of values- I try to take at least 3 tests and average them out.
Meanwhile, that's why I specifically wanted you to note the fps. I'm aware that the final score numbers can change regardless of the GPU optimization, and don't particularly care about those right now. I wanted to see how fast it can output to the screen, and that should be relatively consistent.
(note that in the video I made for the transform ultra, I was impressed that the moon test displayed over 80fps. That's what got me more than the final score) - 11-23-2011, 12:09 PM #7

Chandra Highlights from the AAS: Black Holes and Jelly Beans
Last week, the American Astronomical Society held its bi-annual meeting in Austin, TX. (The AAS, as it's known, always has a winter meeting in early January and then a spring meeting around Memorial Day.) The AAS meetings are important because the AAS is the largest professional group of astronomers in the US and so they often bring some of their most exciting results to share.

Chandra Showcase for Google Sky
The latest version of Sky in Google Earth, released on January 09, 2008 at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Austin, Texas, now contains X-ray images from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. Along with images from other NASA satellites, the addition of Chandra into Sky in Google Earth provides scientists, students, and amateur stargazers new opportunities to explore the Universe across the electromagnetic spectrum.

X-Ray Astronomy vs. Medical X-Rays
A doctor's x-ray machine consists of two parts: an x-ray source at one end, and a camera at the other. The arm or mouth or other body part to be examined is placed in between these two parts. X-rays from the source shine through the impeding body part, and the camera records the x-rays that reach the photographic film inside. Bone is denser than muscle tissue and skin, so it stops more of the x-rays (and hence fewer x-rays make it to the region of the film that's behind the bone).
Do X-ray Astronomers Wear Lead Aprons?
Dr. Patrick Slane from the Chandra X-ray Center presented an overview of the Chandra X-ray Observatory to NASA's museum alliance. This part of the conversation talks about how X-ray Astronomy connects to medical X-rays and what people experience with X-rays from the doctor.
Everybody is familiar with going to the doctor and having a big X-ray machine kind of point at you and having a film put somewhere and then getting a picture. And at many times, I've been asked the question, is it dangerous to shine all those X-rays out in the space from Chandra.

my name carol and my husband name is morten.i come from kenya and he come from norway.we both met on this site.after chatting for sometime we both fell inlove and our love was growing each day up to date.morten is my life i love him and he loves me too.he is my soulmate.we tied knot on 14th september this year 2013 in a very colourfull wedding in nairobi and we are making plans so that we can leave together as one happy family.thanks so much afrointroduction for making our dream come true.for singles out there please be patient i know their some crazy people on this site but dont loose hope their others who are good.soon you will get your soulmate as i did.my husband is my my angel.the best thing that ever happened to me.im a happen woman.
We both registered in 2010 but we passed us at that time. This year in May 2013 we found us here on this page and communicated for round about 2-3 weeks over this page. After that we wrote emails, phoned over skype and I bought an international sim card for handy. We both have fallen in love without meeting each other in real. So in September 2013 I traveled to Nairobi and it was unbelievable. She also had birthday the time we met and now we will plan our future together. One day we will marry each other and no matter where we will stay, important is that we will be and grow old together. So many thanks to Afro that I was able to get to know a rare soul twin....We are one soul living in two body. Greetings.
Andrew & Sarah I have been a member on afro for 2 years, Sarah a member for * years. We made contact on Afro when Sarah sent me a simple interest notification in June 2013 and we corresponded every day from that day till we arranged to meet and get married in September 2013. The picture shows all went to plan and we were married in Nairobi on September 14, 89 days after that 1st contact on afro. For us both it is our 1st marriage, dreams really can come true.
It was one evening on the 21st of July, 2013, when on my usual search an interest popped up. I hesitated initially as these interests are the norm on Afro, and then by the third interest I decided to view her profile, there and then I discovered an Edo beauty of an inconceivable measure from Benin City, Nigeria. I swung into sending a mail at exactly 6:40pm with complete contact details. Eleven minutes after came her response in the same manner. The fire kept burning until we met in person at the Muhammed Murtala Airport, Lagos, Nigeria on the 33rd day from the day of our meeting on Afro, We are together now in Benin City planning our wedding.
She's being very caring and introducing me to some juicy Nigerian meals.
God Bless Afro!
Phil and I met on this site almost a year ago.We start chatting to get to know ourselves.Who would've thought it would grow into such a beautiful thing like we have now.We were married last week.Am so glad I met him.

The shot cross fades to an interior shot of three employees in a break-room. The manager, played by Ian Gomez, is speaking to two underlings, played by Josh Simpson and Marisa Pinson. Ian Gomez: Okay, okay. Most famous people ever to work here? Marisa Pinson: It was the kid who slept with the teacher. Josh Simpson: No way. It was the chic who get caught on security cam peeing in the coffee pot. Ian Gomez: You are both wrong. The most famous people ever to work here were the guys from the Blue Man Group. Josh Simpson and Marisa Pinson (in unison): Cool. Ian Gomez: Oh, it was a nutty, nutty crew. The shot fades to flashback and the Ian Gomez suddenly has hair. Ian Gomez (to the Blue Man guys): You guys got that? The shot pans to the Blue Man Group. They say nothing and look at each other. Ian Gomez (voiceover): But, of course, they made some mistakes. The shot cuts to Ian Gomez and one of the Blue Man Group members standing at the counter. An angry customer, played by Joe Hartzler, is complaining. Joe Hartzler: The problem is I ordered a cheeseburger, not a bag of marshmallows. Joe Hartzler tosses the marshmallows onto the counter and the Blue Man picks them up. The Blue Man pulls out a marshmallow and throws it out into the lobby where it is caught in the mouth of a second Blue Man. The second Blue Man then throws an indistinguishable yellow item at the third Blue Man who catches it with a metal tray. He kisses the tray and spreads the yellow substance into a pattern with his lips. The shot then cuts to Bob Turton eating his lunch at a table. One of the blue men sits down and begins eating food of Bob Turton's tray. The shot cuts back and forth between the Blue Man eating and Ian Gomez looking horrified and reaching out as though to stop the Blue Man. The Blue Man then has explosive vomit which lands on Bob Turton. The shot then cuts to Ian Gomez lecturing the Blue Men in the drive thru window. Ian Gomez: It's called fast food. Alright, we have got to get these orders out faster than we have been doing it, guys. Let's go! The Blue Men look at each other and the shot then cuts to them with a slingshot setup in the drive thru window. They pull back food in the slingshot and shoot it out the window. It lands on a man in his car. Drive Thru Man: Whoa! What the f… The food in slingshot maneuver is repeated several times. A young woman is shown at the drive thru. Young Woman: Can I get a cheeseburger, fries and a… Food is sprayed across her windshield and hood. Alex Fernie is shown at the window. Alex Fernie: Oh hey, sorry, I was just here. I forgot to grab some ketchup and mustard. The Blue Men spray Alex Fernie extensively with ketchup and mustard. Alex Fernie: Uh, and some napkins. A Blue Man reaches out and gently affixes a napkin to the side of Alex Fernie's head. It sticks to the ketchup and mustard. The shot cuts to a Blue Man wearing a cheeseburger headset and covering Alex Gomez's head with bacon as though it were hair. A second Blue Man is shown with a french fry mohawk. A sizzling sound is heard and the third Blue Man is shown sitting in a fryer. Ian Gomez (voiceover): It was kind of a rite of passage for me. Ian Gomez is shown putting on a pair of safety goggles. Ian Gomez (voiceover): It was when I became a man. The Blue Men repeatedly hit Ian Gomez with milkshakes launched from the slingshot. A montage of images is overlaid on top of the image, including one of Ian Gomez holding a picture of the Blue Men. The montage ends with the Blue Men and a milkshake covered Ian Gomez Lifting their hands in victory. Josh Simpson (voiceover): And you never saw them again. Ian Gomez (voiceover): No, no, no. But I keep them with me. The Blue Men are shown leaning their heads against the restaurant wall outside of the drive thru window. Three blue marks are left on the wall. Ian Gomez (voiceover): And, I use what they taught me, you know. The shot cuts back to the break room. Ian Gomez: Especially when I'm talking to the ladies.

The question researchers are trying to answer: Can weekly fasting reduce a person's risk of diabetes and coronary heart disease?
Researchers are now seeking participants for the study, people who have pre-diabetes, or those with diabetes who control the disease by diet alone.
New research suggests that routine periodic water-only fasting could reduce the risk of diabetes and coronary heart disease by reducing metabolic problems. Researchers want to build on that understanding. "Based on previous studies, our working hypothesis is that the potential benefit that we'll see from fasting is that it may renew the metabolism, or re-sensitize the body to insulin," said Benjamin Horne, PhD, director of cardiovascular and genetic epidemiology at the Intermountain Heart Institute at Intermountain Medical Center.
Participants in the five-week long study will engage in a 24-hour water-only fast, consuming nothing more than water and appropriate medications, six times over a five-week period. They will fast once at the beginning of the study and then a fast once per week at the end of each of the remaining five weeks.
Researchers will measure and record changes in their weight, blood pressure, and biomarkers of metabolic, cardiovascular, and general health over the course of the study to see how fasting affects the different variables.
"We expect people that are likely to being diagnosed with diabetes would benefit most by this study," said Dr. Horne. "We're looking for people who are willing to try fasting to see if it is something that will benefit their health and the health of others like them, that are on the verge of having diabetes."
People eligible to participate must also meet the following conditions:
-Are between 30 and 69 years old.
-Have at least three of the following metabolic challenges: moderate to high blood sugar, high blood pressure, obesity, high triglycerides, and low "good" HDL cholesterol.
-Don't suffer from coronary disease, heart attack, stroke, clots, or heart failure.
-Aren't taking medications to control diabetes.
-Aren't pregnant.
To participate or get more details about the study, please call the Intermountain Heart Institute at Intermountain Medical Center in at 801-507-4769.

Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams has said that at least two TDs were drunk during the Dail debate on legislation to liquidate IBRC as part of the promissory note deal.
"There were, in the chamber on the night, members of other parties who were intoxicated and other people know that as well," Adams told TheJournal.ie. He stressed that "the vast majority of TDs probably don't take a sup at all."
"I imagine they are here to do their work. But I do think it's an anomaly that you have a bar, you actually have two bars, in a work place," he said.
The debate in the Dáil last month to pass legislation that would liquidate Irish Bank Resolution Corporation went on into the early hours of the morning as the government sought a deal to abolish the promissory note repayments.
When TDs argued when to start debate on the bill Adams asked Ceann Comhairle: Could I honourably suggest that if you want some order from the government TDs then perhaps you should close the Dáil bar.
"That may be a useful way to get some order here."
Adams said he wasn't being flippant when he raised the issue that night and asked that the Leinster House members' bar be closed.
He raised the again last week during the debate on the Finance Bill by asking that "the bar be closed or that breathalyser tests be introduced for Teachtaí entering the chamber."
"I'm not against having a drink, don't get me wrong. I am not a killjoy in terms of having a jar, I enjoy a jar," said Adams, adding that there was a "culture" in the Dail.
"This is a big bubble that we have in here," he said.
"The vast majority of people in here are good people who took up public office and who joined political parties to bring about change. But it's quite an archaic system and quite dysfunctional system."

March Blog
A few things had to be done this year for Polly Tikkle Productions to stay afloat and in the game.
Upgrading to a Second Hand Apple MacBookPro.
Why this is a good decision?
My 2007 darling finally died. As most things that leave me, it did so with an explosion. No melting away into oblivion. The battery blew up. It was a little poop, but still as far as laptops go I should not dismiss the event as anything but an extraordinary goodbye.
I was delighted to discover that Apple is cheaper in Australia due to Australian dollar being quite weak in comparison to the English pound.
The new MacBookPros cannot run older operating systems and the new operating system will not run FCP 7 smoothly, and I am not interested in learning FCP X from scratch. I would rather learn Premier. The fact that FCP X is an entirely different program to which an FCP 7 project file cannot be upgraded to is the deal breaker, or ball breaker if one possesses them. If Apple can do this to its consumers, than I no longer feel safe being professionally shackled to Apple.
In London, the Apple FCP experts at the mega store in Covent Garden, assured me that FCP 7 would run smoothly on the new 10.9 operating system, but after reading countless forums suggesting that it doesn't, I wanted to test run it. In line with the general decline of customer services, that are relentlessly plummeting in unison, globally, no Apple store on the planet will allow you to test run the ancient hobbling obsolete (err not!) FCP 7 on their new operating systems. The mere suggestion of test running a product, before dishing out £2500 - £3000, is considered at best, a joke.
So I bought myself a second hand 2012 MacBookPro with 10.7.3 installed on it. It's 2.6GHz Intel Core i7 with 8GB of RAM for $AU1400. So far so good.
In the next few months I must remember to do any small projects that come my way on Premier so I can increase my skill level in this application, the reputation of which has been steadily on the increase for years now. With two long form films in FCP 7, now is not the time to do any drastic changes to their work flow.
I was transcribing for 6 weeks from Jan 03 to Feb 15, pretty much full time. This is the work I did while in Oz. I had wasted so much time trying to find ways around transcribing systematically, to 'save time', that now that I have bitten the bullet so to speak, I am daunted by the long ride ahead and disappointed in myself that I did not take my need to make this film more seriously sooner.
For some years now I have used Excel. I divide the A4 vertical page into three columns. In the first column I write the timecode, the second the details and/or dialogue and the third I usually leave blank for me to write notes in while I read the work and formulate the film.
I am looking forward to that moment.
I would like to hear how you transcribe. What programs do you use? Have you discovered an automated way of doing it yet? Dragon Speech does not help us yet does it?
To transcribe I usually have two computers working at once. On one I have the Final Cut Pro project file open, the browser of which I use to open the clips by right clicking them and opening them up in Quicktime 7 so I can play them at half speed and record the true time code intermittently. If I could find a way to play clips in FCP at half speed I would not need to open them in Quicktime.
I struggled to think how I would collate the footage. Eventually I settled on transcribing it in time consecutiveness.
On the other computer I type like crazy. I now type at around 35 words a minute which is still pretty slow but I hope to get faster. It takes me about 4-5 hours to do one hour of interview.
Each worksheet is a full tape and labelled by date and key words. I amalgamate the worksheets into monthly workbooks. I have completed November 2011 and have started on December 2011. It is hard to admit that I do not have any footage from October 2011 when the Occupation started but I do not. Transcribing is gruelling work but it is imperative. To be honest I am going through it quicker than I thought. Making on the fly decisions can be problematic so I am very conservative with that although at times it is obvious that I will not use certain bits of footage so I skip out on transcribing that.
Atomos Ninja 2 troubleshoot
Visiting the Atomos headquarters in South Melbourne was a treat. The customer service was impeccable. I was taken into a meeting room where a technician David allowed me to speak at length about the issues I had with it.
My Ninja would stop recording quite randomly even when it was static on a table in a sit down interview,
Dave did numerous tests and discovered that it was getting confused with the double triggering. I had chosen the option of Sony for the HDMI trigger and something is wrong with that apparently. I should have chosen the No Trigger! GO figure trigger! I explained to Dave that the interface is quite confusing. Little about it is intuitive. I suggested that two battery icons instead of floating numerals :1 2, would help users know that touching the screen there would lead to battery usage. I gave a few more suggestions that I cannot remember. I also emphatically disagreed with the apparent choice Atomos made to make deleting files on the Ninja 2 impossible. I was satisfied with the thought that it was somehow a cost cutting necessity but to discover that it was a choice so that the film makers does not accidently delete any footage (err make it a three step procedure?) led to rambling reasons why that is not a good idea – at all.
Wall Street Film
Watching capitalism gun down democracy
The 99% film from Occupy Wall Street has been completed already and is doing the film festival circuits and it is quite fantastic. The video quality is really extraordinary and when one sees the small army of post production personal one can accept how that could be.
Where is my army? Where can I get one from?
The variety of folk interviewed in The 99%, including a police officer who chose to get arrested, and the unforgiving Naomi Wolfe, and, the clear footage of voluminous protests and significant violent against peaceful protest make this film what it is. Bloody brilliant! It is none other than an in depth expose on the attack of the right to protest in America. Ani Di Franco's lyrics "Watching capitalism gun down democracy" come to mind. It got Sundance Film Festival funding. Mine will be the London version.
OK that is all for now folks. I will show you my disastrous home made steadi cams next time....
Until then... if you are selling a house I have just moved into porperty video making. £200 a pop is what i say!
