Adventure Capitalists
For some, the thrill of the deal is enough. Others need danger with their adrenaline shot, an epic feat that will get them ready to return to work transformed
Winston Churchill was once overheard saying, 'The most exhilarating experience in life is to be shot at without result.' The stock reaction to this is to think: they made 'em tough in those days. But actually, Churchill had a point.
Modern life is so sanitised, so remarkably dull thanks to the insidious supremacy of the Health and Safety generation, that few of us get to experience that unmistakable thrill of forging into a danger zone and dancing through to the other side. It isn't helped by the fact that convention presupposes that long hours spent glued to a desk will help career prospects; escape seems impossible.
However, a successful life in the City can undoubtedly be combined with indiana Jones-style adventures. You just need to have the oomph – and the finances – to pull them off. The star of this is Glencore chairman Simon Murray. A former French Foreign Legionnaire, who has also climbed Everest, he became the oldest man to trek unsupported to the South Pole, aged 63.
There is a new wave of City adventurers following in his ski tracks. Between them, they prove that anything is possible...
Neil Laughton
When it comes to adventure, it's difficult knowing where to start with this former Royal Marine and SAS officer. In 1994, after more than a decade in the armed forces, Laughton completed a postgraduate business diploma and started up OPL, an office-design business, from his dining room with an investment of £2,000. Seventeen years later, OPL had a blue-chip client list including Goldman Sachs, Rolls-Royce and Diageo, and a turnover of £40m. Laughton sold the business in 2011 to Balfour Beatty for £8m.
Meanwhile, entering civilian life had barely made a dent in Laughton's saga of adventures. He was climbing Everest in 1996 when the mountain was hit by its worst storm in a century. Eight people were killed in the space of 24 hours; the tragedy was immortalised by Jon Krakauer's classic book, Into Thin Air. Since then, Laughton has completed the '7 Summits' challenge (climbing the highest mountain on every continent), trekked on skis to both Poles, motorcycled across the Atlas Mountains, and piloted a flying car from London to Timbuktu.
'It wasn't boring making the transition from the armed forces to everyday working life,' he explains, 'because the adventures provided me with spice and variety; they stopped me getting stuck in a rut. But the business career was always there to keep me on the ground financially.'
Organising each trip could take up to two-and-a-half years of planning: 'I would do a day's work in the office, but instead of going home in the evening, I'd spend two or three hours on expedition planning.'
The benefits, both professionally and personally, have been myriad. 'When you are developing client relationships, it helps if you have done some interesting things because you stand out more,' explains Laughton, adding, 'Personally, I've been stretched in good ways and my leadership, communication and general life skills have improved.'
Since selling OPL, Laughton has set up the Business Leadership Academy, which runs bespoke leadership and management training programmes. He is also on the point of launching a new airline, making trips between Brighton City Airport and Paris.
Despite having survived the sort of adventures that most of us can only gasp at on the Discovery Channel, Laughton is as proud, if not more so, of Project New Horizons, a charity that he helped set up a few years ago. It takes up to 100 disadvantaged kids each year on a six-month developmental programme that ends with an extreme expedition. 'The results we are getting are extraordinary,' says Laughton. 'Of last year's intake of 36 young people, 90 per cent were either in employment or back in education three months later.' The greatest challenge he faces now, he says, is fund-raising.
Ewen Cameron
When Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603, one of her courtiers, Sir Robert Carey, leapt onto the first of many horses and galloped tirelessly up the Great North Road to Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh to deliver the news to James VI of Scotland. The journey took less than three days – lightning speed in those times – and Carey's action was instrumental in securing the English throne for James over various other claimants.
Fast-forward just over 400 years and Ewen Cameron, a director of a property company and a former partner at a City firm of commercial property solicitors, is appointed to Her Majesty's Body Guard. A largely ceremonial position, it is a great honour to become one of its 32 members and Cameron felt that it provided
an opportunity to find a challenge.
'I was reading up on The Body Guard's history and the one thing that really stood out was Carey's great ride,' says Cameron. It was the ignition point for the solicitor to stage his own version of the Great North Ride, not to tip off a likely royal heir, but to raise funds for charity.
Teaming up with Major Neil Cross of the King's Troop, Cameron spent a year planning the trip. The logistics were immense – between them, they would need 160 horses; every inch of the route had to be recced and an army of helpers was essential to make sure each horse arrived at the designated place on time. As Cameron puts it: 'I had walked, driven or cycled every inch of the way; I now know where every gate is between London and Edinburgh.'
The difficulties of the trip should not be underestimated. Prince Charles summed it up succinctly in a letter of support to the pair: 'This is one of those rare challenges that with the advance of time and technology has not become any easier – and nor, I doubt, has the potential problem of saddle sores...'
However, the Great North Ride, in March 2011, went seamlessly and the pair arrived in Edinburgh 86 hours after leaving London. And averaging 14 hours in the saddle each day, Cameron indeed ended up with a hand-sized saddle sore. 'I was really well treated by our vet,' he says cheerfully. 'Although I think I was the first of his patients to answer back!' All in all, the adventure raised £60,000 for two military charities.
Cameron managed to organise and complete the ride without eating into any corporate time: 'I didn't get round to telling my fellow partners until a few days beforehand, when I mentioned it might be a good marketing opportunity. Typical over-cautious lawyers, they just asked, "What happens if something goes wrong?"'
He summarises: 'Being a lawyer is fine financially, but it does lack a bit of excitement. I find that sport and a bit of travel, well off the beaten track, is an excellent antidote.'
Roger Weatherby
There are few chief executives who can claim to having completed one marathon, let alone the five-in-seven-days of the hair-raising Marathon des Sables. But this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Roger Weatherby's adventures.
Chief executive of Weatherbys Bank since 2000, he is also a member of the Jockey Club. Horses have been a passion throughout his life and in 1996, after having spent 11 years at Cazenove, he rode across Spain unaccompanied. A subsequent break for a Masters in Finance at the London Business School was followed by two months riding solo through Pakistan's northern frontier province – the heartland of the 19th century's 'Great Game'. Despite being armed with only 'an idiot's guide to Urdu', he crossed four mountain ranges without a hitch: 'Like all these things, when you go to the poorest parts with the poorest terrain, you find the people there are the most generous anywhere.'
He still smiles when he recalls a letter from the British military attaché in Pakistan, which arrived just as he was leaving for his flight. 'It said, "Whatever you do, don't do this trip. It's too dangerous!" It was too late by then, so I just rolled the letter up and threw it away!'
In 2005, Weatherby and four friends completed an epic trip to the South Pole, replicating the last 200 miles of Robert Falcon Scott's 1912 expedition, not just in choice of route, but also in terms of equipment. 'We had reindeer sleeping bags, woollen underwear and tweeds covered by old-style Burberry macs. Our sledge and skis were exact replicas of the ones they used.'
Surprisingly, the clothes turned out to be more effective than their modern counterparts, unlike the sledge. 'It was very, very heavy and really hard to move. On the worst days, we didn't travel more than a mile an hour.'
When they got to the Pole, they each put a hand on the marker and walked round it, managing to achieve the seemingly impossible – to walk round the world in eight steps.
The adventure raised just over £400,000 for three charities. The team is planning another trip next year to travel to the North Pole. The benefits personally have been long-lasting, as Weatherby explains: 'It gives you an opportunity to come back refreshed and full of new ideas. You value your life, your family and everything around you. It's so much better than simply lying on a beach.'

Just yesterday Sam Bradford, Rookie Quarterback for the St. Louis Rams and the number one overall pick in this past year's NFL Draft signed a 6 year 78 million dollar deal with a chance for it to be worth as much as 86 million. That's way too much to be paying any player let alone a guy who missed his last college season with a shoulder injury and who also has never thrown a pass in the League. The worst part though isn't just the amount he is going to be paid over the short span but that 50 million of that is guaranteed. Sam Bradford now can have a career ending injury 2 games in and be set for life and what can the team do about it? Nothing! Look at WR Dez Bryant, the number 24 overall pick by the Dallas Cowboys. He signed a 5 year deal worth 11.8 million dollars, 8.3 mil of that guaranteed and now just a couple of days into camp he is out 4-6 weeks with an ankle injury.
I think everyone knows who the financial burden for these huge contracts fall on. The Fans of Course! What type of penny pinching owner would even think about digging into their own pockets to fuel a championship contender? Not any that I know. Ticket prices have increased at an extremely fast pace and player salaries have done the same. Why do we keep paying these huge ticket prices? The responsibility for the rising prices fall on the fans, we just shouldn't be paying them. I also don't know anybody that needs to be making 14 million a year. If I had their talent I actually wouldn't want that, so my team could go and spend the extra cap space to bring in players to make the team a championship caliber team. What needs to happen in the next CBA is a set salary for rookies at each draft spot.
In no way should an unproven QB such as Bradford or even last years number one pick, Matt Stafford ( 5 year, 72 mil 41.7 guaranteed) be making as much, or more in a lot of cases as some of the better signal callers in the NFL. Joe Flacco, QB for the Ravens took his team to the playoffs in both of his first two seasons while becoming one of the best in the game. His salary, 5 years 11.9 million dollars seems like nothing when you compare it to what these kids are going to make. You never see him complaining though because he is a class act and he knows that he is getting paid more than fairly to play a game.
The NFL and commish Goodell needs to come up with a set system for rookie pay days because before long we will see a 100 million dollar rookie turn into a bust and send a franchise into disaster status for years to come because of one bad investment.

Chelsi Rohloff was the featured player on the poster cover of UNO's soccer program Friday.
The UNO volleyball team was picked to finish ninth in the Summit League preseason poll released Thursday.
Coach Jason Mims firmly believes the best way to find out about your team is through a tough schedule. That's why he took his fourth UNO men's soccer team on the road to No. 4 UCLA, the top seed in last year's NCAA tournament, this week for its second exhibition match of the preseason.
UNO finally becomes eligible for Division I postseason play next year. But Rose Shires said she doesn't think of her program, entering its final D-I transition season, as a newcomer to the highest level of collegiate volleyball.
A year ago, CU made the historic move to the Big East Conference. A major conference. But what exactly is a major conference anymore?

AU - Peeta and Gale become friends after the games
I'm not really sure how it happened. By all rights, Gale and Peeta shouldn't be friends; the only thing they seem to have in common is me. But, one day, Gale traipses out into the woods with Peeta by his side, laughing at some joke that I'll never know. Unbeknownst to me, Gale had been teaching Peeta to set snares in exchange for baking lessons. I tried to wrap my head around the idea of them doing the other's activity, but found it impossible to fathom. It was odd at first, trying to fit Peeta into a life that had only held Gale and I for so long, but now it feels as if Peeta belonged there with us the entire time. Sure, he isn't quite as nimble as the two of us, but we can't fault him for losing his leg in games. For the most part, he can do pretty much all that we do, but with much more trepidation. There was a time, months ago, when Gale and Peeta did not coexist well in my thoughts, but now it is hard to think of one without thinking of the other.

Meet us at Visual Studio Live – Redmond
SoftFluent sponsors Visual Studio Live!, taking place in Redmond WA from October 17th to the 21st. If ever you happen to attend the event, this could be a great opportunity to have a chat together ;)
See you there!
Arguments in CFQL
CFQL methods can take arguments. Arguments in CFQL are composed of an optional type name and a name.
If the type name isn't specified CodeFluent Entities looks for a property in the current entity matching the argument name.
For instance, instead of writing:
<Id />
<Code />
<Price />
<cf:method name="LoadByCode" body="load(string code) where Code = @code" />
You can write:
<cf:method name="LoadByCode" body="load(Code) where Code = @Code" />
Note: CFQL is case insensitive, writing "Code" or "code" or "LOAD" or "load" doesn't matter.
This actually allows you to write flexible models: since if you change the property type, you won't have to update your methods.
Keeping the same concern in mind, you can write expressions using entity names instead of their keys, such as:
<cf:method name="LoadByRole" body="load(Role Role) where Role = @Role" />
This should be preferred to writing methods such as this one:
<cf:method name="LoadByRole" body="load(guid roleId) where Role.Id = @roleId" />
The result will indeed be the same, however, if you change the type of the Role identifier, or if you update the Role entity to have a composite key your code will break. To the contrary, using the first method using the "Role = @Role" statement will keep on working.
CodeFluent Query Language Overview
CodeFluent Query Language (CFQL) is a simple yet powerful language which allows developers to write stored procedures in their models. Therefore, CFQL is platform independent and its producers which will translate this query into an actual stored procedure.
The language itself is a mix of traditional SQL and object-oriented syntaxes (btw, the language is case insensitive):
<method> (<arguments>) [from <source>] [<where> <expression>] [<order by> <expression>]
Available methods are:
- Load / loadone: creates a procedure to return one or multiple instances from the database,
- Search: similar to load methods, however arguments are optional/nullable, supports wildcards (e.g. '*'), and the resulting SQL is built dynamically at run time in order to support as many optional parameters as you desire,
- Count: return a number being the result of the count operation (uses the count SQL clause),
- Delete: allows developers to delete batches of records from the persistence layer (and avoid doing deletes in a foreach)
- Raw: allows developers to specify custom persistence code because CFQL does not intend to replace persistence code, so you can't do everything with it.
Modeler Hot Keys
Using the Modeler, a graphic interface to CodeFluent Entities integrated to Visual Studio 2008 & 2010, several hot keys are available to ease developers' life while designing their model.
CTRL + Click on a relation property
Clicking on a relation property whilst holding the CTRL key down zooms on the referenced entity and surrounds it with an animated red square so you can easily spot it:
SHIFT + Click on a property
Clicking on a property whilst holding the SHIFT key down allows you to create relations. Holding SHIFT while selecting a property makes an arrow appear which you can use to point to another property or entity.
Once you pointed to the referenced entity/property, the "Add New Relation" dialog will appear so you can define the relation's multiplicity (One-To-One, One-To-Many, Many-To-One, Many-To-Many)
CTRL + Scrolling with the mouse wheel
Holding the CTRL key and scrolling with the mouse wheel lets you zoom in or out where the mouse points. It's dead simple, yet so convenient!
CTRL + Dragging anywhere on the surface
Doing so allows you to zoom in a specific area. CTRL + dragging will make a dashed rectangle appear symbolizing the area in which the Modeler should zoom in:
Converting an existing CodeFluent Entities project to the new Visual Studio CodeFluent Entities format (.cfxproj) –Part 2
In a previous post we introduced how to convert a former CodeFluent Entities project into a Modeler one. What is said in this previous post is still valid, nevertheless, a quick update can be done as the convert form is now directly included in Visual Studio.
- Start Visual Studio, and go in File > Project > New…
- Select CodeFluent Entities, and the Legacy Model template,
- Make the Package Path point to your source model
- Set your project path to the Target Directory Path and hit Next.
And that's it your done! A new cfxproj was created and opened in Visual Studio.
Using the Property Grid in a CodeFluent Entities Project
All Visual Studio developers are familiar with the Property Grid which allows developers to view and edit all properties of the currently selected object.
The Modeler provides its own, available when editing a Surface or the XML, and which is organized into three views:
- Default view
- Advanced view
- Aspects and Producers view
You can switch from one view to another using their corresponding button available at the very top of the property grid.
The Default View
In the default you'll find all "common" properties, those most frequently used.
The Advanced View
The advanced view provides access to all other properties. Properties available in this view are optional and provide extra features you can set on the currently selected element.
The Aspects And Producers View
Finally, this view allows developers to access extra-properties brought by aspects and producers which were added to the project.
Meet us at DevConnections Las Vegas
SoftFluent sponsors DevConnections Las Vegas, taking place in from October 31st to November 3rd 2011.
We'll hold a booth over there, so come have a chat with us!
CodeFluent Entities – License
CodeFluent Entities is activation-based, meaning that the first time you launch the product you're going to have to activate your product.
A dialog will pop-up asking for your license key.
Your license key is available on your "My Account" page on www.codefluententities.com.
Activation requires an internet connection as the product connects to our servers to validate the license key. If for some reason you can't contact our server due to some network settings, you can also activate by email as explained here.
After activating once, your licensing information is cached per Windows user, so you don't have to type your license key over again.
Then, whenever activating is needed, that is to say:
- when installing a new CodeFluent Entities version,
- for a new Windows user,
- on a license change (e.g. upgrading from a Professional to a Ultimate)
The product will activate using your cached license key.
Note: You can disable automatic activation and switch it to manual using the SoftFluent.Licensing.Client.exe.
CodeFluent Entities & Bitness
First, we need to distinguish two different environments:
- at modeling time: during developments, when building your model,
- at run time: the built application.
At Modeling Time
- The Modeler runs in 32-bit mode exclusively: this is due to the fact that the Modeler is an extension of Visual Studio which is a native 32-bit process,
- All other tools provided (.exe) both have 32-bit and native 64-bit binaries versions available,
- All tools can run with 32-bit WoW64 on 64-bit machines
- Some producers are supported in 32-bit mode exclusively like the SQL Server Producer v1.
At Run Time
Regarding run time, generated applications are completely "bitness agnostic": using CodeFluent Entities you can create 32-bit, 64-bit, or "Any CPU" applications. By the way, this is possible because CodeFluent Entities run time assemblies are compiled as "Any CPU" so it'll use the bitness of the built application (x86 or x64) or the bitness of the target machine if your application is built in "Any CPU".
What's the Entity Display Name?
Having a look to what the WPF Smart-Client Producer generates (producer is still in Beta), you'll note that the generated screens have their comboboxes directly bound to entity instances without any extra-code:
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource CustomerCollectionLoadAll}}"
SelectedItem="{Binding Path=Customer}" />
So, one might ask how does it know which property value to display?
You'll notice that in the generated Business Object Model, all entity classes are decorated with the following attribute:
As you can see a TypeConverter is specified, and it is set to be the NameTypeConverter provided by the runtime.
The NameTypeConverter provides a simple type converter to display a name for any object.
To do so, it uses the IDisplayable interface, or the ICodeFluentEntity interface or ultimately searches for a property called DisplayName or Name.
It also just so happens that all CodeFluent Entities generated classes implement the ICodeFluentEntity interface which provides a property named EntityDisplayName.
As documented here, by default, the EntityDisplayName of an entity is the first string property declared after the identifier.
However, if ever the collectionKey attribute is used on one of the string typed properties, it will use this collection key.
Finally, you can define the EntityDisplayName property yourself by setting the entityDisplay XML attribute (Is Entity Display in the modeler) on your desired property.

Proof of eugenics
31 05 12 - 09:38They're downplaying this, but the proof that genetics works comes from the Ashkenazi Jewish population, one of the highest scorers in the average IQ game:
While several Ashkenazi Jewish mtDNA Hgs appear to derive from the Near East, there is also evidence for a low level of introgression from host European non-Jewish populations. HVS-1 sequence analysis revealed increased frequencies of Ashkenazi Jewish haplotypes that are rare or absent in other populations, and a reduced number of singletons in the Ashkenazi Jewish sample. These diversity patterns provide evidence for a prolonged period of low effective size in the history of the Ashkenazi population. The data best fit a model of an early bottleneck (approx100 generations ago), perhaps corresponding to initial migrations of ancestral Ashkenazim in the Near East or to Europe. A genetic bottleneck followed by the recent phenomenon of rapid population growth are likely to have produced the conditions that led to the high frequency of many genetic disease alleles in the Ashkenazi population. - European Journal of Human Genetics
The good part of this strategy: 100 generations ago, when it came time to choose those who were going into Europe, the Ashkenazis chose to take the top 10% of their population by intelligence. (This may have occurred naturally, as the richest traders took up new homes in their new target markets.)
Where they ran into some trouble was in the rapid expansion since; had they reproduced more slowly, there would have been more time between generations for mutations which would diminish some of those gnarly recessive traits.
If the Western world were to take its top 10% people by intelligence, health, vigor, morality and sense, and kill everyone else, the result would be a smaller Western population of much greater ability. If this population expanded slowly, it would not run into the penalties of inbreeding that we see here.
Either way, the naysayers are wrong. Eugenics works. Unless of course these naysayers want to live in a dumber population.

DETROIT (AP) - Slip & fall lawsuits once were a staple for injury attorneys. But they've become extremely tough in Michigan courts, due to a strict standard set by the state Supreme Court.
The court's conservative majority raised the bar last summer in a case involving an Upper Peninsula woman who fell outside a health club in Ironwood. The court said Charlotte Hoffner was aware of the ice and wasn't forced to enter the club. Four justices said property owners can't be expected to absolutely ensure everyone's safety.
As a result, courts across Michigan have more reasons to dismiss slip & fall lawsuits. Detroit-area lawyer Mark Bernstein says he's been forced to turn away clients. He says slip & fall cases tied to weather represent just 2% of his firm's work, compared to 20% in the 1990s.

Yes, PhilT; you do call it like you see it. I like that. Too many people play politics in their daily lives. Someone told me to make it in the Philipines; I'd have to show respect for everyone. I countered that I could only show courtesy to everyone, and respect to those who had earned it. I think that like jackpeterson, you and I won't always agree, but I can respect the fact that any opinion you express is based on your thoughts. In a sense; I don't have any friends either, and I certainly never will if the only eligible people are the ones that always agree with me. Robert K
Hello Robert my first friend on this forum...lol...why do you like my posts?...well I try to tell it like it is I suppose consequently I have no friends!...I will make a point to watch any of your posts also

Right at 9:30 p.m. the first fireworks exploded patriotic colors into the night sky in Burlington.
Tens of thousands of people waited patiently for hours on the waterfront for the fireworks spectacular.
"Kind of just hanging around. Going on bouncy houses, eating cotton candy and things like that," said Cole Paquette, on how he stayed busy waiting for the fireworks.
"I'm just excited. I wanted to come last year and didn't get a chance to come down because of work so I'm excited," said Amanda Michaud. It's her first time at the event.
Cole Paquette had high hopes. "I'm expecting a big finale and lots of cool fireworks," he said.
And he wasn't let down. Neither was Donna Roche-- she scouted out her spot more than six hours before the show.
"I would say around seven it started to get more crowded," Roche said.
The park was nearly empty when she arrived, but by show time it was jam packed.
"There's a few sprinkles, everybody seems to be happy. A lot of eating of food," Roche said.
"We've been here three, four hours," said Pierre Cotton. "We've eaten the food, played on the jumping castles, having fun with the kids and family."
Cotton says the iffy weather made him rethink his arrival time. He's been coming to the show for 12 years.
"Usually we get here around two or three in the afternoon, but today we didn't get here until six or seven," Cotton said.
The show packed in 3,000 fireworks in just 25 minutes and is the largest production in the state.

Even in metro Baton Rouge, many people spent plenty of money after the hurricanes clearing the countless trees that fell. As a new hurricane season kicks off, some homeowners are rushing to get old or dying trees cut down. As WAFB's Cyndi Nguyen reports, that's got the tree man's cell phone and chain saw working overtime.
Blake Tanner and his crews with Tanner Tree Services have been making lots of house calls these days -- an average of 15 appointments a week -- and the visits aren't all about keeping yards beautiful.
"After Katrina and Rita, they are really starting to second guess about things they didn't think about before," says Tanner.
The hurricanes both serve as powerful reminders to what the force of winds can do to trees and homes in their path. These days, Tanner says there are plenty of things people can do to preserve their trees before disaster can strike.
"What they really need to worry about first is watering, watering watering everyday," Tanner explains. "Using a large sprinkler over the base of the entire tree."
And then there are the no-no's -- the things Tanner says most people do too much -- like over-prune their trees. He says a key thing to remember is to remove only dead wood and leave the healthy limbs alone. That way, if a tree does fall, the extra limbs help to break the fall and minimize damage to your home.
Tanner also says make sure the tree company you hire is a licensed and insured company: "There have been a few cases around town where people, they go on the property, hurt themselves and sue the homeowner."
Or in other cases, if an uninsured company damages your home while cutting a tree, your homeowners insurance won't cover the costs.
Just one more thing to keep in mind as hurricane season heats up.

"The Loneliest Planet," from director and screenwriter Julia Loktev, might just be the next film-festival sweetheart that could
"The Loneliest Planet" will keep viewers questioning the nature of human relationships.
Julia Loktev's mysterious and quiet love story, which claimed the Grand Jury Prize at AFI Fest, follows a young engaged couple, Nica (Hani Furstenberg) and Alex (Gael García Bernal), as they travel throughout the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia with a local guide the summer before they marry.
Everything goes swimmingly at first, until a small gesture is made that makes the couple question everything they thought they knew about each other.
The film comes out Oct. 26 — meanwhile, check out the trailer below and see if it piques your curiosity.


text: This is a very easy, inexpensive project and the end result is simple and beautiful. I picked a few of my favorite leaves and pressed them between books until they were dry. I then purchased 6 dollar store frames (two of the same frame) and used the glass from the second frame to press my leaf on the first frame. Just like that, you can preserved the beauty of colorful fall foliage!

The action starts with a literal bang as the irresponsible behavior of drinking/driving/texting Michal (convincingly played as a ticking time bomb by Tali Sharon) causes an accident. After Zev (busy thesp Alon Aboutboul), a handsome older man returning from military reserve duty, hits her car from behind, he winds up driving her -- along with her bags and considerable emotional baggage -- to her parents' cramped apartment in Herzliya, a Tel Aviv suburb.
Edgy, in-your-face lensing by Shai Peleg captures the tense energy of the narrative and performances, while cutting by Ronit Porat doesn't shy from the confrontational.
Dreifuss, a professor of screenwriting at Tel Aviv University, worked with lenser Peleg and editor Porat on her two Cinefondation-selected shorts: "Wax Hurts" (2001) and "Visiting Hours" (2005). Impressive thesp Sharon was the star of the latter.

New Mexico Telegram » New Mexico Senate, Roundhouse » Senate passes texting-while-driving ban
Senate passes texting-while-driving ban
The state Senate passed a bill that would ban texting while driving passed the Senate on a 37-5 vote after extensive debate.
The legislation isn't new — in fact this is the fifth time such legislation has been introduced — but this is the first time that such legislation passed the Senate.
The bill really covers more than just texting. The bill would also ban answering emails on a phone or even changing Pandora stations. While one would be able to make phone calls with a Bluetooth or other type of headset, the bill would require those driving in New Mexico to pull over to dial the phone.
There was opposition to the bill, including Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, D-Belen.
From the Associated Press:
State Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, who voted against the ban, said he was concerned that the bill would give police a "cart blanche" to pull over motorists for something as mundane as glancing down at an ashtray. "I see that as a very serious problem," he said.
Others felt the proposal took away from resources from police and was hard to prove in court.
From the Fiscal Impact Report on the original bill:
SB 19 defines "handheld mobile communication device" as a wireless communication devise but excludes global positioning or navigation systems (GPS), devices that are physically or electronically integrated into a motor vehicle and voice-operated or hands-free devices that allow the user to write, send or read a text message without the use of a hand except to activate, deactivate or initiate a feature or function. "Text message" is defined to include e-mail, instant messages, a text or image communication and a command or request to an Internet site, and to exclude communications through the use of a computer-aided dispatch service by law enforcement or rescue personnel.
And, yes, this bill would ban taking selfies on your cell phone while driving.

What the Heck Is A Female PUA?
A Female PUA is a woman who is interested in the study of social dynamics and the Venusian Arts. They have their own reasons for being here, which typically include an interest in social or sexual psychology, a desire to better understand the community, a desire to learn more about how the male race thinks, or simply to become better at picking up men.
Contrary to common belief among PUAs, women can be a rare and valuable resource for understanding the mind of the opposite sex. A woman who is willing to openly communicate her thoughts, beliefs, and emotions can provide a seemingly limitless amount of information for a smart Venusian Artist. As such, every member of this forum is expected to treat the women of this forum with the utmost respect, maturity, and tact, and failure to do so will result in harsh consequences.

Sofoklis Schortsanitis has made himself relevant to the NBA fan every few seasons since being drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers in the second round of the 2003 NBA Draft.
The big man's last appearance was with the Clippers entry in the Vegas Summer League last year, but for those hoping to see what improvements he's made since at the EuroBasket 2011 competition, that doesn't look like it'll be happening.
The 26-year-old power forward left the Greek National team on Tuesday due to personal reasons, according to the FIBA website, apparently citing an illness to his girlfriend. The team's coach was adamant that one of his team's best players didn't have permission to leave the team, however, leaving possible further sanctions awaiting Schortsanitis.
"I want to clarify that he did not wait for permission to go," coach Elias Zouros said. "He told us that he wanted to stop with the national team for personal reasons, which he did, despite the efforts of the technical staff and the team to keep him here."
Without Schortsanitis, and due to a rash of injuries hitting the majority of the Greek roster, Greece looks like it will struggle to earn a spot at the 2012 London Olympics.

When she first burst onto the Republican scene, we wrote a few posts about the Religious Right's newfound love of the idea of Sarah Palin as Vice President even though they would have opposed the idea of allowing her to be a leader in their churches. For those right-wing leaders who didn't outright oppose the idea that Palin might have an "unbiblical" career outside of the home, their explanation was that so long as her husband Todd approved of her candidacy it was okay.

Barack Obama claimed the state of North Carolina today, which hasn't gone to a Democrat since Jimmy Carter. But before we could reflect on this historic triumph, we were reminded of something we read last week, which made us think of this: Don't worry. We can explain. Senator Lindsey Graham, warming up a North Carolina audience for McCain, assured them that McCain would win: "He fits North Carolina like a glove…I'll beat Michael Phelps in swimming before Barack Obama wins North Carolina."

In the weeks leading up to Tuesday's historic election, the McCain campaign and RNC led a coordinated campaign to cast the integrity of the vote into doubt. They claimed ACORN was engaging in massive voter fraud. They claimed that Obama was receiving illegal foreign contributions. They claimed that the "liberal media" was skewing the polls in favor of Democrats. In other words, they were writing themselves an insurance policy in the event of a contested election or narrow loss. But it wasn't even close.

Among the myriad of excuses the Religious Right will roll out tomorrow should John McCain lose will be the idea that McCain just didn't energize the base and so they stayed home. That may very well be the case, but it certainly won't be because right-wing leaders sat on the sidelines and didn't do everything in their power to mobilize their base. Case in point: the God TV Election Special, which has been airing in constant rotation over the last several days. Because it is my job to watch these things so that you don't have to, that is...

Did you know that Alan Keyes is still running for president? Well, he is. And I for one am quite pleased about it because it was rather entertaining to read his latest piece in WorldNetDaily blasting Religious Right leaders for being bad Christians because they are backing John McCain rather than him: Regardless of the outcome of the presidential election, the 2008 election cycle has been a winnowing season for all Americans who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ.

I just wrote a post about the traditional claim from Religious Right leaders and activists that their votes are beholden to God and not tied to any one particular party. It's an obvious fraud, as demonstrated by the fact that they'd rather vote for Satan than a Democrat, but it's what they have to say to convince themselves that they are somehow more principled than your run-of-the-mill partisan voter.In my last post, I didn't provide any concrete examples of this contradiction because it is frankly so prevalent that I didn't think it really needed any.

The AD5114 provides a nonvolatile solution for 32-position adjustment applications, offering guaranteed low resistor tolerance errors of ±8% and up to ±6 mA current density in the A, B, and W pins. The low resistor tolerance, low nominal temperature coefficient and high bandwidth simplify open-loop applications, as well as tolerance matching applications.
The new low wiper resistance feature minimizes the wiper resistance in the extremes of the resistor array to only 45 Ω, typical.
The wiper settings are controllable through an I2C-compatible digital interface that is also used to readback the wiper register and EEPROM content. Resistor tolerance is stored within EEPROM, providing an end-to-end tolerance accuracy of 0.1%.
The AD5115 is available in a 2 mm × 2 mm LFCSP package. The parts are guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.
