Meet the Axis360: The Affordable Modular Motion Control System to Rule Them All
Here at No Film School, we talk quite a bit about the dizzying array of technical methods for creating camera movement (and even the reasons for moving your camera in the first place). In the past year alone, a seemingly absurd amount of camera movement products have hit the market, everything from brushless gimbal stabilizers to updated versions of sliders, shoulder rigs, and beyond. Sometimes these new products are unique tools that enhance our storytelling potential, and sometimes they're just more of the same. However, every now and again a product comes along that seems destined to change the way we move our cameras. The Axis360 Modular Motion Control System might just be one of those rare products.

Tessive's Time Filter Brings Film's Dreamy Motion Rendering to Digital Cameras (and Eliminates Rolling Shutter Too)
It's been one of my pet peeves ever since the advent of digital cinema cameras: at the same frame rate and shutter speed as a film camera, digital sensors looks more stroboscopic. There's more jutter and I find it distracting. For a long time I couldn't explain what I was seeing until Adam Wilt explained why in a piece about RED. Now Adam's the first to bring my attention to a new product called a Time Filter from Tessive. If you want a smoother shutter rendering on your digital footage, this is a serious innovation — brilliant, in my opinion. More »
Are These the First Screenshots of the New Apple Motion? And FCP X Ships this Month, Right?
There were no Final Cut Pro X-related announcements among the recent iOS and iCloud-focused Apple updates from WWDC, which was not unexpected (WWDC is not traditionally a film or video event). Except it was originally announced Final Cut Pro X will ship in June, which would mean the much-debanticipated (yes, FCP X hype deserves its own word, a combination of "debated" and "anticipated") software has a scant three weeks to appear in the App Store.

Appeal to trace man after serious assault
Police are appealing to the public to trace a man following a serious assault in Brentford.
Amish Kansagra is Asian, 5 feet 9 inches tall with short black hair and a goatee beard. He sometimes wears glasses.
Detectives want to speak to the 28-year-old - who frequents Hounslow, Ealing and Brent - after a woman was found seriously hurt on Sunday.
The 35-year-old was taken to a west London hospital where she's now in a stable condition.
Officers believe the two are known to each other.

He wasn't the King quite yet, but a series of photos of Elvis Presley at the age of 21 are still Smithsonian quality, and now they are making a rare visit from that museum to Nashville.
In 1956, photographer Alfred Wertheimer got what seemed like a simple, mindless assignment. He was sent to take some promotional photos of a 21-year-old singer from Tupelo who had just signed with RCA Records.
His name was Elvis, something.
At that time, he was still unknown, but the anonymity went away quickly that same year when he sang about that Hound Dog.
The stage and the adoring fans would stay with him for the rest of his life, and Wertheimer's photos capture those early, magical moments.
Fifty-six photos on loan to the Tennessee State Museum from the Smithsonian Institute show quiet, personal moments often hidden from public view.
In one, Elvis greets a fan on the street, and in another he seemingly first gets used to the idea of fan mail.
These are the photos taken before Elvis and stardom met. The pure, raw emotion in the photographs shows the charisma Elvis had at age 21 - a quality that he would hold on to the remaining 21 years of his life.
The exhibit, "Elvis at 21", will be in downtown Nashville through January, and the admission is free.

House Majority Whip Schools CNN's Candy Crowley on Why No Debt Deal
"Why can you not get this deal?"
That was the attitude of CNN's Candy Crowley on yesterday's State of the Union. She acted like if only the Republicans were "reasonable" and accepted some "revenue" enhancements, then a deficit deal could be cut. House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy set her straight on why the deal as presented was unacceptable. Oh, Candy tried and tried to make a deficit deal agreement seem reasonable but McCarthy kept knocking her assertions out of the ball park as you can see in the interview video below the fold. Candy led off by accusing House Speaker John Boehner of engaging in a "bargaining ploy" instead of serious negotiation. McCarthy hit that accusation out of the ballpark while simultaneously stressing the sad state of the current unemployment situation in this country:
CANDY CROWLEY: Joining me now to try to make sense of where things stand, House Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy of California. I just feel like we are -- if I am out there listening to this, I want to strangle all of you. Why can you not get this deal? This looks to me like a strategic bargaining ploy rather than where we're actually going to end up, from Speaker Boehner.
KEVIN MCCARTHY: Oh, I don't see that at all. Boehner has been very clear that there is no votes for a tax increase. And you look at the jobs data, it was only 18,000 jobs, Canada has fewer people than live in California, created more jobs than America.
Crowley later thought she caught McCarthy in an error about the size of the Obama stimulus.
MCCARTHY: Job growth in America today, start-ups is lower than it has been in 17 years from the policies of this president and this administration. He created a stimulus plan that created more than a -- spent more than a trillion dollars, it cost $278,000 for every single job. I think we have to do a new direction.
CROWLEY: OK. Just the stimulus plan was about $800 billion...
MCCARTHY: No, with interest, 1.1.
In the reasonable vs unreasonable vein Crowley then asked what the Republicans would "give up" since it appeared that Obama was willing to compromise:
CROWLEY: So what would you give up? Let's put it that way. It looks as though -- I mean, I think when you're looking at this, it looks as though -- at least we are led to believe, the president has said, fine, I will put in entitlements, Medicare, Social Security on the table, and you all have said no to anything on the revenue side, sort of consistently. So what are you willing to do that will get these things back on track?
MCCARTHY: Well, you want to know what we're willing to do? We're willing to set out a framework that puts America back on a real track, where it has tax reform, where it reforms the process. Then you close the loopholes.
And then a painful reminder that the "reasonable" Democrats haven't even produced a budget since 2009:
CROWLEY: ... taxes between now and the 2nd of August when this debt ceiling thing blows up
MCCARTHY: Well, you know what, we produced a budget in four months. You know this Democrat-controlled Senate, it has been more than 100 days. You go back to 2009. They never produced a budget. We laid out a reform to Social Security and Medicare to save them. The president has not.
Then Crowley brought up "Bush tax hikes for the wealthy" although in her confusion by this time, she probably meant "Bush tax cuts for the wealthy."
CROWLEY: So the speaker has -- the speaker could not -- even if he wanted to and we're led to believe he was willing, the speaker cannot let go of, for instance, the Bush tax hikes for the wealthy because you don't have the votes for it to back that up, is that correct?
MCCARTHY: Speaker Pelosi did not have the votes for it when they were in the majority.
CROWLEY: So you don't have the votes for it, either.
MCCARTHY: Speaker Pelosi did not have the votes when they controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House. Why didn't they raise them then? Because they know it is bad policy, especially in a down economy.
Crowley takes one last stab at the need for Republicans to "give" in the deficit negotiations:
CROWLEY: ...But the thing is, there just seems to me that there has to be some willingness to give, and I have not heard anything from you about, yes, you know what, I would go -- if we could get a deal that would cut 2.5 trillion in savings, I would agree to this on the revenue side. There's nothing on the revenue side you will agree to?
MCCARTHY: Well, you know, Candy, I've never found one tax increase that created a job. I have watched our economy sputter downward. I've been out across the American public, they want to go back to work. And I know those policies will fail. So in principle, no, we're not going to go there. But I also do know that government has spent too much. They have increased spending 73 percent in discretionary in the last three years. I don't know any American household that has done that. So, you know what, this government needs to live like those American households. I'm tired of the gimmicks, I'm tired of the budget tricks and the accounting tricks that goes forward. This has to be an honest approach. We are at a threshold that we need to change. We are not losing jobs because our credit card didn't have a higher limit. We are losing our jobs because we are spending too much. It's not that difficult to do. We have sat in the room honestly with the Democrats, we have moved forward with them all the way. But they keep saying one thing, they want to raise more taxes.
Annnnd....out of the ballpark it goes. This interview has to stand as a classic in how to respond when a member of the media accuses Republicans of not being "reasonable" by accepting phony deals offered to them by Democrats.

Why can't even the stubbornly liberal media understand that it isn't acceptable to agree to be a part of something that is clearly wrong (tax hikes) to get just a part of something that is clearly right (spending cuts)?

He'll cut some kind of deal to raise the debt ceiling, as well as go along with some "temporary" form of a tax increases, just as long as Obama promises to deliver on some obscure future spending cuts.
The debt ceiling will go up, the temporary tax increases will somehow become permanent, and the promised spending cuts will never happen.

This time cannot be any different. And it's not because of the players or the Tea Party or any of the other interesting, unique facets of the debate. It can't be different because pessimists can never be wrong. It's really ego and a morbid fascination with wanting bad things to happen just so that you can say you were right. If you are out of patience and really want to do something, then let's hear what you've done. But why bother, right? Just break out some hot dogs and roast them over the ruins, so you can say "I told you so."

Your opinion echoes my own, along with countless others from various walks. It is sad that this side-show carny act we call Congress is so predictable.
I see an eleventh-hour "compromise" resulting in an increased Line o' Credit, a tax increase that won't kick in until after the 2012 elections, along with promises of future spending cuts. For instance, by promising not to purchase Ford Motor Company, Obama has already saved or created $65 billion.
Obama's idea that spending cuts must be offset by tax increases is incomprehensible. I suppose the theory is that a $1.0 trillion deficit is better than a $1.3 trillion deficit. Why, that's $3 trillion saved over ten years - problem solved!
Oh, wait...in ten years our debt will grow to over $22 trillion. But, as Obama will surely reminds us, it would have been much worse had we done nothing.
We already have Obamacare to look forward to in 2014. What else will this buffoon foist upon us before we can run him off?

I would have told Candy, its time for dems to cave in for the first time. They owe us two rounds of spending cuts that we are still waiting on.
Its also crazy to say we'll increase spending 75% in three years and now cutting by 25% is not compromising. I'd say the fact that we aren't demanding 75% decrease is a huge compromise.

CHIVAS BROTHERS ROYAL SALUTE 38 STONE of DESTINY WHISKY
Named for the coronation stone of Scotland's monarchs, this new release from Chivas Brothers is a tribute to HM Queen Elizabeth II. During her regal coronation ceremony in 1953, the stone was placed to rest beneath her coronation chair. The blend is a marriage of Scotch whiskies, each aged for a minimum of 38 years. Its full robust flavor has cedar-wood and crushed almond characters finished with a sherried oakiness. The smooth taste hints of dried fruit followed by an aggressive spiciness. The whisky is packaged in a handcrafted porcelain flagon, adorned with granite-effect. Every bottle is crowned with a 24-carat gold-plated stopper inspired by the hilts of ancient Scottish swords – every front bearing a handcrafted gold-finished coat-of-arms – and is presented in a red and glossy black box. Suggested retail is $6OO for a 75Oml. Available from United Liquors.

The Miami Heat dismantled the Dallas Mavericks on TNT on Tuesday, 110-95, to improve to 17-6.
The Heat led by 16 points after the first half and by 30 after three quarters. Miami was steadied by LeBron James' 24 points, nine rebounds and five assists. Chris Bosh added 17 points on 8-for-14 shooting and seven rebounds while Dwyane Wade finished with 19 points and five assists.
The Mavericks struggled all game, shooting a paltry 38.5 percent from the field. The Heat held the Mavericks' leading scorer, O.J. Mayo, to just eight points on 3-for-14 shooting. Dallas was led by Jae Crowder's 15 points off the bench.
The Heat were splendid on offense, shooting 53.8 percent from the field, hitting 10 threes and 16 of 18 free throws. Normally a poor rebounding team, the Heat outrebounded the Mavs, 47-36.
The loss dropped the Mavericks to 12-14 on the season as they are still playing without the services of Dirk Nowitzki.

College Football Playoff logo contest manipulated by cyber-ballot stuffer
IP address in Austin cast 50,251 votes
Published On: Apr 25 2013 02:29:01 PM EDT Updated On: Apr 25 2013 02:35:32 PM EDT
The College Football Playoff's online fan voting has been manipulated by a cyber-ballot stuffer.
BCS officials say the contractor that runs the logo contest informed them that an IP address in Austin, Texas, cast 50,251 for one of the four logos.
The new playoff system was named College Football Playoff by the conference commissioners on Tuesday and the website www.collegefootballplayoff.com was launched. Fans were given the chance to decide what the new logo will be. The one that receives the most votes will be used for the postseason format that starts in 2014.
Officials say the extra votes for logo No. 4 -- a star, created by a compass with a football at its center -- will be eliminated. The winner of the contest will be revealed Monday.

Cute Couple Confessions
More Cute Confessions
Jane Watkins, 32, and Darrin Dingman, 35, Miami, Florida. How We Met: "My husband was the tennis pro at my apartment complex. I had a crush on him, so I signed up for lessons. Then I found out he refused to date students." She dropped out so she could date him. How Long We've Been Together: Eight years. "We got married two years after we started dating, and just celebrated our sixth anniversary." We Confess: "We go kayaking once a month. We point out manatees, sharks, and pelicans, and then drop our little anchors and enjoy the sights while eating the lunch we brought. It is amazing how we both open up. For some reason, being on the water allows us to relax and let down our guards."
Amy Kowal, 29, and Paul Kowal, 32, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. How We Met: "A friend insisted on us meeting, and we've been together ever since." How Long We've Been Together: Nine years. "This September, we'll celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary." We Confess: "We hardly ever call each other by our given names. We have various nicknames -- Big H and Little H (Big Honey and Little Honey) are favorites. Another special thing we do is our 'pillow talk' time. When we crawl into bed after an exhausting day, we spend quiet time and simply chat about anything -- work, something that's bothering us. It might be 10 minutes or an hour -- and whoever nods off first, the other person doesn't get offended. Those minutes alone are cherished -- no phones, no puppy wanting to play -- just us."
Jody Jaffe, 50, and John Muncie, 56, Silver Spring, Maryland. How We Met: "We were fixed up by a friend. We clicked right away, and John started wooing me with e-mails since we lived in different cities (he Baltimore, me DC)." How Long We've Been Together: Five years, married last October. We Confess: "Since we've met we've written two mystery novels together -- Thief of Words and Ragspring Summer, [Spring 2004, Warner Books]. Our fun ritual is taking a 4-mile walk at a nearby park each morning when we discuss what's going to happen next in the book. Then we go home sweaty, relaxed and ready to write."
Arlison Hall, 37, and Patrick Hall, 32, Stafford, Virginia. How We Met: "When I turned 35, I decided that I was never going to meet Mr. Right, so I made plans to purchase a condo and adopt a child. It was a miserable day with movers, furniture delivery people, and phone workers in and out all day. I was exhausted. I was hot. I had no makeup on and my hair was piled on top of my head. Knock-knock at 3:35 p.m. I opened the door and there stood a vivacious, red-headed Irish guy ready to install my cable. Within five minutes, he asked me out. We went out two nights later." How Long We've Been Together: Two years. "We married this past August." We Confess: "Patrick had not had much of an opportunity to travel, and I worked for the Peace Corps for four years, so I have been all over the world. One of our rituals has been for him to join me on work trips at my current job [as public relations director for Share Our Strength] and [for us to] explore the cities together -- Las Vegas, New York, New Orleans, to name a few. We have also taken weekend trips to explore the local area. When it's just the two of us, the quiet time in the car is priceless. When Patrick's kids are with us, the loud time in the car is just as good."

HiRise for iPhone 5 & iPad mini thoughts
If possible, I try to purchase accessories for my iPhone that I will be able to use for a 'long' time, and particularly because I will likely have an iPhone 6 soon, and so I decided to buy the Twelve South HiRise for iPhone 5 & iPad mini. At £30 it is not cheap, but the customisation of the depth of the lightning cable and the backing means that it will work with any lighting iPhone or iPad mini and it will not matter if I have a case installed or not.
What surprised me the most was how useful I found the raised height to be and despite my reservations of positioning my iPhone like a king on a thrown, it is something I got used to, and preferred, very quickly. Thrown in the tools you need, wonderful build quality and and unobtrusive design and we are left with a flexible accessory that will serve for a very long time.

An M.A. in anthropology is required for admission into the Ph.D. program. An M.S. in Museum Sciences from CU-Boulder may be used in place of an M.A., although course deficiencies may be stipulated and must be fulfilled. Students who plan to continue on from the M.A. to the Ph.D. program within this department must submit an application to be considered by the faculty in the appropriate subdiscipline. Their decision must, in turn, be approved by the faculty as a whole. Such internal applications must include: (1) a letter of intent outlining the student's plans for doctoral work and indicating why CU-Boulder is an appropriate place to pursue these plans; (2) a formal graduate school application; and (3) brief letters of support from three tenured or tenure-line faculty members in Anthropology who will form the core of the student's committee, including one from a faculty member who agrees to be the student's primary advisor. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
Internal applications must be submitted by December 1 to continue on as a Ph.D. student in the following spring semester, and by May 1 to continue in the following fall semester, unless otherwise notified.

Requirements for the Ph.D. degree include successful completion of the following:
- Annual Plan of Study
- Required core courses in each of the three subdisciplines
- Ph.D. Qualifying Examination for doctoral students in Biological Anthropology
- An approved statistics course (or an approved "tools" course for students in cultural)
- Credit hour and course requirements within the subdiscipline
- Ph.D. Comprehensive Examination (oral defense of prospectus of dissertation research) Preparation for this defense includes a Preliminary Paper review and discussion.
- Ph.D. Final Examination (oral defense of dissertation)
- Residency requirement (six semesters)
A more detailed description of the program and requirements is available in the Anthropology Department Handbook for Graduate Study and the University of Colorado Catalog.

The decision made by Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr to halt his Mahdi Army's attacks on occupation forces and Iraqi security is likely to be considered the single most promising breakthrough for the

Al-Sadr's recent decision was, predictably, welcomed by the Americans, who are likely to take any opportunity to prove the successes of their most recent operations. Top official Gen. David Petraeus has already boasted about the troop surge leading to a reduction in sectarian fighting. Statistics, however, directly contradict such claims. Figures from the Associated Press show that the month of August registered the second highest civilian death toll in

However, despite his seemingly erroneous strategies and media depictions as a 'radical', al-Sadr has actually adopted a very careful balancing act. He has continued to appeal to his Shiite followers in a way that sets him apart from al-Sistani, while simultaneously maintaining good relations with al-Sistani and
Yet his relative political shrewdness could hardly bridge the gap between the various Shiite groups, which remains essentially ideological and an extension of the theological contention between the Hawza followers of al-Sistani and the followers of Mohammad Sadiq al-Sadr, Muqtada's father. The divide between the two religious Shiite schools is as real as ever and the new economic woes and power struggles are likely to bring back to the fore – and further fuel – these differences.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - Fire crews were on scene well into the afternoon Monday when a large pile of hay bales caught fire near Lake Hallie.
The call came in around 8:30 this morning. According to the Chippewa Fire District, around 600 hay bales close to a barn caught fire. The district used its ladder hose, and they say conditions made fighting the fire difficult.
"Because of the location, it's easier to fight this fire from above than with hand lines from below. It gives us a broader pattern and a quicker fire suppression. The weather today with the brisk winds is fanning that fire, making it more difficult to fight," said John Andersen, a Deputy Chief with the Chippewa Fire District.
No one was injured and crews were able to keep the fire from spreading to nearby buildings.

I, like many Bama fans, have been overjoyed since Thursday night. However, my joy has turn into disgust for the pundits who have made the Colt McCoy excuse for Texas. I am not going to pretend that Colt, if healthy, wouldn't have provided a different challenge for Bama, but that doesn't mean he would have given the Longhorns the victory. It is possible that he could have played worse. I outline the following points for the reasons the Colt McCoy excuse has no validity.
#1. Here is what I posted on my brothers wall word for word on Thursday before the game.H----- T--- Establish the run. Effective Play-Action passes. Take away the short passes. Knock the hell out of colt "ragdoll" mccoy
Thu at 3:49pm ·
Now I am not trying to say that I am a prophet, but if the History Channel runs another documentary on the new Nostradamus then I should be included. In all seriousness anyone could have posted that statement, but please pay special attention to the last sentence.
I got a little sidetracked, but as a football team you want to establish physical dominance over a team. You want to hit the quarterback every single time and you want to hit him hard. There is not a defensive coach that would say that he wouldn't wantto hit the quarterback every single time. Especially a quarterback as small and frail as Colt.
Colt McCoy is not Tim Tebow. McCoy was listed at 6 foot 1 and 180lbs coming out of high school. Before the game I heard a coach in the Big 12 say that Colt was closer to 6 foot and that is why they blitz down the center, because Colt couldn't see over the line. Don't get me wrong I think colt is a good athlete, but do you really think he would hold up in the SEC running the ball. Think about Colt and now think about Tebow. If you were a coach and you had your qb has the focal point of your rushing attack, who would you put your money on making it through the season?
Also, all that nonsense about Colt being a better runner than Tebow is garbage. Don't believe me. If Colt can't succed at qb at the next level is there a backup position he can play? I didn't think so.
What were Alabama fans and even SEC fans saying before the NC game about Colt. I remember people saying Colt McCoy was too small and not built to take hits against an SEC team. Guess what? They were right. Colt can say that he has been hit like that all season, but apparently he wasn't.
#2. These statistics are for quarterbacks that we played that ranked higher in qb passer rating than Colt McCoy.
I have listed where they finished in QB rating, their qb rating, and their rating against Bama.
#1 Tim Tebow averaged164 had a 120 against Bama
#8 Ryan Mallet averaged 152 had a 76 against Bama
#14 Tyrod Taylor averaged 150 had a 83 against Bama.
Colt McCoy had an above average season, but Bama had success against good quarterbacks all season. there is no reason to think that success wouldn't have been sustained by Bama. All those quarterbacks had some success against Bama, but Bama was able to adjust their defense and dominate accordingly.
#3. Fluke Injury? I think not. Those who think that Marcell's hit was not solid are fooling themselves or their last name is Griese. Whenver your body is exposed to contact there is always the chance of injury. For example, I never played high school football and I decided to walk onto a div 1 football program. Everything was going as plan. I was doing well. I decided to play pickup basketball with some of my teammates. I went up for a rebound and another player made contact with me. I came down wrong and tore my acl. I wasn't hit hard, but my body was exposed to contact. I also tore up my shoulder a year later during flag football. An injury that was much worse than what Colt experienced and required surgery. By the way I finished the game and that season and two more seasons after that before I had surgery, but I'm trying to question his forititude. You get the point? Whenever you expose yourself to contact there is always the possibility of injury. Injuries are a part of the game. Ask D Hightower, T Prothro, GMc, Mark Ingram, Julio Jones, W Britt. Where were these people making excuses for Texas when Alabama's offense flustered once Tyrone Prothro broke his leg?
4# Finally, if you don't remember anything I said please focus on this point. Texas lost because of.................................
Bad Coaching. Yes, bad coaching. If you have read the previous points then you probably know what I'm going to say. It's not Bama's fault that Colt got hurt. Mack Brown called the qb stretch/option to the middle of the field exposing his quarterback to unnecessary contact. Yes, Marcel hit Colt, but what is he suppose to do. All Texas had to do is watch film and realize that Bama has hurt bigger and stronger quarterbacks this season. Ask jordan jefferson, ask ryan mallet who was yanked because of how many hits he was taking. I am not providing any information that wasn't afforded to the Texas Coaching staff. Instead of running up stats and trying to win the heisman for Colt, Mack could have decided to develop the young Gilbert in blowout victories. But Gilber only threw 28 passes throughout the entire season. Also, if Colt was so important to the success of the offense then why expose him to unnecessary hits. if you couldn't afford to lose him then why put him in situations where he is taking free shots from a 300lb defensive end.
Don't fool yourselves Texas and Auburn fans. That game could have been 37-6. Alabama could have decided to call offensive and defensive plays in the third qtr.
I have few questions for you pundits who think Colt would have made the difference.
Did Colt play defense too?
Also, what happened to that "vaunted" rushing defense" I thought you guys only allowed 62 ypg. Bama had two backs that each almost doubled your ypg average, but I guess this fact can be attributed to the emotional loss of Colt McCoy.

For several moments in the eighth inning, the Comerica Park scoreboard listed the Angels as leading 8-3 despite not having a hit. ... Despite the tension between the teams, Valverde did his normal dance after recording the final out. ... Before Izturis' single, the closest the Angels came to a hit was Alberto Callaspo's hard grounder in the second inning. Guillen made a backhand stop at second.

A popular destination for senior travelers is Hawaii. Hawaii is known for its beautiful landscapes, beaches and wealth of tourist activities – most will suit the tastes and interests of senior travelers. Here are some our tried and true suggestions of the top 8 things to do for senior vacations in Oahu, Hawaii.
1) While you're on vacation in Hawaii, make sure you have a rental car. Renting a car in Hawaii will make getting around a whole lot easier. I recommend renting a jeep – the only way to go, and not much more expensive than renting a car. You'll see more of Hawaii in your own rented vehicle.
2) Drive to the north and eastern shores. On the north shore, there's the Banzai Pipeline beach, famous for the surfing. Enjoy the beach as well as watching the surfers.
3) Waimea Beach State Park is not to be missed, surfers, swimmers, sunbathers. Gorgeous beach. Enjoy basking in the sun here.
4) We had lunch at Jameson's by the Sea for the best seafood in Haleiwa. Address: 62-540 Kamehameha Hwy #1. Dine on fresh fish, shrimp sandwich, shrimp everything and New York steak.
6) Don't forget to taste the pineapples, you'll think it's the first time you've ever eaten one. Visit a pineapple plantation and sample some of the freshest, most delicious pineapples you've ever had.
7) Taste the local brews of Hawaii if you're a beer connoisseur. There are a few good local brews in Hawaii. Try a coconut porter from the Maui Brewing company. The coconut porter really impressed me, in spite of myself.
8) Play golf at one of Oahu's premier golf courses. The mountains, palm trees, the greens and blue skies of Oahu, you couldn't ask for a better golf experience.
Hawaii is a great destination for a senior vacation whether going it alone on an self directed Hawaiian vacation or all-inclusive Hawaii package. It's got a well-established tourism industry and plenty of fun activities for the senior traveler.

Mixed martial arts (MMA) fans who were expecting a "tweet" from Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White after Fedor Emelianenko's shocking loss to Antonio Silva at Strikeforce: "Fedor vs. Silva" on Feb. 12, probably didn't go to bed last Saturday night disappointed.
In fact, they might have gotten a little more than they bargained for.
White, who tweeted a simple ": D" after "The Last Emperor" was submitted by Fabricio Werdum back in June 2010, engaged in a three hour mud-slinging contest via his official Twitter account to let the "butt-hurt" Fedor fans know "reality is a bitch."
Emelianenko suffered his second straight defeat last night when his quarterfinal grand prix match-up against "Bigfoot" Silva was stopped in the second round after the cageside doctor ruled the former PRIDE heavyweight champion unfit to continue.
Click here to see why.
White, obsessed with the acquisition of Emelianenko during 2009 negotiations with M-1 Global, went from blank checks to "no thanks" after the former WAMMA kingpin ended his 27-fight winning streak against "Vai Cavalo" in San Jose, who at the time was considered to be UFC refuse.
The Russian gladiator was first up for grabs following the collapse of Pride FC in 2007. The UFC lobbied hard to bring the Sambo champion on board however, talks broke down when the parties could not agree on an exclusive fight contract, eventually leading him to Affliction under his own terms.
After "The tee-shirt guys" collapsed under the weight of their own spending, co-promotion once again trumped cash, as Strikeforce brought M-1 Global into a partnership similar to the one it had with the now-defunct Elite XC back in 2008.
Emelianenko's record since that partnership is 1-3.
Did Dana White get the last laugh? Or will Fedor still go down as the best ever?

Before I go into my rant here I feel it necessary that I note some of the folowing things to qualify my Bruin faithfulness/fanaticism:
Tonight, I will be leaving Las Vegas at 2AM to drive overnight to the OC, catch a nap at my aunt's house and then head to Westwood for the Ben Ball opener against Fullerton, I will then drive back to Vegas after the game
Two days ago, I gave my mother a Christmas gift request (to this day she insists I try to make a Christmas list every year). I asked for a pair of custom made Blue and Gold Vans to match my myriad UCLA shirts.
Two years ago, on a trip to Europe, I felt compelled to visit Milan almost entirely as a pilgrimage to the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio, the building upon which the facade of Royce Hall was modelled.
Three years ago, I put $1000 on the Bruins to win the NCAA Tournament before the season started and refused o hedge my bet (though I could have easily profited $2500 to $4000) because I felt it would have been disloyal.
I could go on and on but I think you get the point.
Now, all that being said I offer the following - the USC football team has been really really good over the last several years.
I don't know why it gets under my skin so much but it totally bugs me when fellow Bruin fans attempt to dismiss what SC has done in recent years. Doesn't anybody else here like a formidable villain. I look at SC as the Ivan Drago of college football. Rocky IV was awesome because of its awesome villain and its villain was awesome because of the following:
He was a natural rival (like the Scumbags from crosstown)
He cheated (like the Trojies)
He was an arrogant jerk (sound familiar)
He was a dominant force (there's no denying this)
I feel that our dismissal of the SUCsters dominance under Cheatey is just as foolish as Leinert's "I still think we're the better team" comment after the Rose Bowl loss. Both are instances of people dismissing empirical evidence (for Leinert it was the fact that they had just lost, for us it's the fact that nobody consistently crushed top 25 opponents the way the Trojies did during their recent run) and forming opinions based more heavily on their personal allegiances.
My hope is that this year is a relative abberation for the squad of arrogant overpaid "amateurs" at the University of Spoiled Children. I hope that they come back with avengance next year and for many years after. I hope that they consistantly lose one game each year and I hope that each year as they are on the verge of dropping that lone loss the UCLA fans in the stands cheering on their undefeated Bruins as they prepare for a Rose Bowl or National Championship game don't offer that ridiculous "OV-er-RA-ted" chant because everyone will know that the Trojies were rated correctly as the #2 team in the country behind UCLA. Is it just me or would that be way sweeter than crushing an SC team that had returned to pre-PC mediocrity?

One of the world's most celebrated vocal ensembles, The King's Singers have a packed schedule of concerts, recordings, media and education work that spans the globe. Instantly recognisable for their spot-on intonation, impeccable vocal blend, flawless articulation of the text and incisive timing, they are also consummate entertainers: a class act with a delightfully British wit.
During the 2013-2014 concert season, The King's Singers perform across the globe in some of the world's most famous venues. Their concert schedule will take them to the United States, Russia, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Spain, The Netherlands, Belgium, Latvia, Hungary and Poland.
Launched in autumn 2013 at the Royal Albert Hall (London), new studio recording and live performance project "Great American Songbook" includes seventeen brand new arrangements written specifically for the group by Alexander L'Estrange.
With a discography of over 150 recordings, The King's Singers have garnered both awards and significant critical acclaim, including a Grammy® for their studio album "Simple Gifts" on Signum. In June 2013, the group's contribution to classical recording was recognised when they were selected as one of only two vocal ensembles to join the Gramophone Hall of Fame, marking their influence and inspiration across the years. A new collaborative project sees the group work with oboist Albrecht Mayer for a disc of works on the theme of winter, released on Deutsche Grammophon.
Deeply committed to new choral music, they have commissioned over 200 works from prominent contemporary composers and choral luminaries, including Whitacre, Richard Rodney Bennett, Berio, Maxwell Davies, Ligeti, Lukaszewski, Penderecki, Rutter, Takemitsu and Tavener. The group are committed to maintaining and developing the international choral canon by commissioning new works from both young and established composers, with the 2013-2014 season seeing new works from both James MacMillan and Joanna Marsh.
The King's Singers have an extraordinary history of television appearances. A favourite of The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, they performed with them for the Winter Olympics and appeared in their recent Christmas concert, which was broadcast on PBS across the US to a combined live audience of 80,000 and is available on DVD. Their televised performance at the BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall, London was awarded a Midem International Classical Award.
In addition to their sell-out concerts worldwide, The King's Singers share their artistry through numerous workshops and masterclasses, and by publishing prodigious quantities of sheet music: at present, they have over two million items in circulation through their publisher, Hal Leonard. Their arrangements are sung the world over by school and college choirs, and by ensembles both amateur and professional.

Accrington Stanley boss gets by with a little help from his friends
12:10pm Friday 9th November 2012 in Sport By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
LEAM Richardson's manag-erial career may have started a little earlier than he expected but he is relishing every minute of it as he uses 'the old pals act' to succeed.
Accrington Stanley's new boss, who became the second youngest manager in the Football League when he made the step up from assistant in the wake of Paul Cook's departure, has made an unbeaten start to life in the hot seat.
And, ahead of his first home game in permanent charge, as Northampton Town visit tomorrow, Richardson has revealed how he is using all his connections to help him be the best he can be.
Richardson, who is currently searching for new recruits on the field as well as an assistant boss off it, said: "It is something I have always wanted to do, even though it has come a few years earlier than is probably ideal.
"You just have to sink your teeth into it.
"I have had some very, very good advice from people who have very, very good jobs in the game.
"From the Premier League down to the Conference.
"I am taking that on board. I still speak to the two previous managers at this club, John Coleman and Paul Cook, on a daily basis, which is fantastic.
"I don't think you ever stop learning or getting the advice that you need.
"There are too many to name.
"Neil McDonald at West Ham, Phil Brown, Rob Kelly at Nottingham Forest. Alan Irvine at Everton.
"There are so many more, it is fantastic help for me.
"They are not only giving advice but will help me out with players as well.
"It doesn't harm if you have good links. People like that who have been around the game for so long, it is fantastic to get help from them."
Stanley entertain Northampton tomorrow sitting in 13th position in League Two, a point ahead of the Cobblers and just four points off the play-off spots.
Richardson believes the next couple of months could be a defining period in the club's season.
He said: "If you want to do anything in this league you must look to get positive results at home.
"It is great how far we have come and we won't stop by trying to push further.
"In a matter of a week you have seen everything that we have to offer.
"Against Bristol Rovers I thought for 90 minutes we offered a threat, going to Fylde we offered a great goal threat going forward and then at Morecambe our shape and distribution was not great but the desire and application was still there."

Police were able to apprehend 31-year-old Billy Joe McCleand from fingerprints left on the labs contents. Two other suspects are expected to be arrested in the next few days.

A lot of imaginary football is about to be played out between now and the beginning of the NFL regular season for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
A team which rarely asks rookies to play significant roles in their first seasons is creating a scenario where the "next man up" strategy steps up, beginning with open position battles across the entire roster. Here is a look at the possible favorites of each roster opportunity by position:
QB: Ben Roethlisberger, Bruce Gradkowski and Landry Jones - Roethlisberger is still the franchise quarterback. The competition in this group falls behind him. Gradkowski has veteran experience, but Jones has a potentially bright future ahead of him. Should Jones exceed his fourth-round draft expectations, he could surpass Gradkowski as the No. 2. John Parker Wilson will most likely become this year's Jerrod Johnson.
HB: Jonathan Dwyer, Le'Veon Bell, Isaac Redman and LaRod Stephens-Howling - Even though the team tried to use Dwyer as trade bait during the final rounds of the draft, he is the incumbent starter heading into the preseason. Bell has a real opportunity to take over the starting job if he can assimilate to the offense and its blocking schemes. Redman will also be in the mix, although the team would prefer to start one of the first two mentioned. Redman's experience will be invaluable as the team develops young Bell. Stephens-Howling could be the front runner for returning duties, while providing receiving threat out of the backfield on third-downs. If he takes over third-down, there could be little room left for Baron Batch, no matter how well he blocks.
FB: Will Johnson - Johnson needs to continue to improve his blocking, but he is easily the best fullback the Steelers have had since Dan Kreider. David Johnson may be back in town, but his non-brother Will is in no fear of losing his job.
TE: Heath Miller, David Paulson and Matt Spaeth - If Miller is unable to go at the beginning of the season, the team may opt to place him on injured reserve with designation for return, which would grant the team a roster exemption in his absence. If so, David Johnson or Jamie McCoy will be needed to provide a third tight end until Miller is cleared to come back.
WR: Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, Jerricho Cotchery, Plaxico Burress, Markus Wheaton and Justin Brown - After signing a big deal last year, Brown has become the cornerstone of the passing game. After a big deal was made about signing an offer sheet with the Patriots, Sanders returns to bookend Brown. Cotchery brings veteran wile to the slot, as does Burress to short-yardage situations. The big battle comes for the fifth spot. David Gilreath, Derek Moye and Justin Brown could find themselves in a three way battle for a sixth-spot, with a practice squad spot reserved for at least the runner up. Gilreath could leapfrog J. Brown if he can win a returner's job on special teams.
OT: Mike Adams, Marcus Gilbert and Mike Ferrell - While the Steelers have plenty of quality talent to field one of their best lines in years, they just don't know where to play them; or who to play if they get hurt. Adams and Gilbert will be competing for both starting spots, while the loser will take the other. Either way, they will both start. Behind them, the team has no other tackles, outside of futures and undrafted players signed to the off-season roster. Because of his family ties to the NFL, this post was leaning toward Long, but settled on Farrell because of his height advantage over his peers; although it is just as likely for another free-agent to be brought in. At least one undrafted guy will wind up on the practice squad. Guards Foster and Beachum have the ability to move to tackle in emergencies.
OG: Ramon Foster, David DeCastro, Kelvin Beachum and John Malecki - Last year's starting left guard Willie Colon was released days after Foster signed a multi-year deal with the Steelers this off-season. Foster and DeCastro look to be the team's opening day starters. The team's website has Beachum listed as an interior lineman at left guard, after starting several games at tackle during his rookie season of 2012. Malecki's chances for making the roster would increase if he can become starting center Maurkice Pouncey's backup. With Doug Legursky gone, the team no longer has an insurance policy in place. The team brought in a few undrafted centers, but Malecki has experience with the team.
C: Maurkice Pouncey - In case there was any doubt...
LE: Ziggy Hood and Al Woods - Aaron Smith's old position will remain as it has since his career came to an end. Hood is out to prove he was the right choice to replace Smith. Woods is out to earn a future as a solid backup for a position not actively addressed this off-season.
RE: Brett Keisel and Cameron Heyward - The Beard returns for what will most likely be his final season in Pittsburgh. Heyward will need to find a way to prove to the team he is ready to replace Keisel when the time comes, or the team will be seeking his replacement as soon as next year's draft.
NT: Steve McLendon, Alameda Ta'amu - With Casey Hampton put out to pasture, McLendon will get his first crack at leading the defensive line as the primary starter. Ta'amu will be seeking redemption this pre-season, after poor judgment almost cost him his career and more during his rookie season. His redeeming efforts could set him above Hebron Fangupo and draftee Nicholas Williams.
LOLB: LaMarr Woodley, Adrian Robinson ROLB: Jason Worilds, Jarvis Jones and Chris Carter - Carter and Robinson could be fighting over the final spot, should the team keep only four outside linebackers. The best backup option behind Woodley is Worilds, but he is slated to start on the right side this year. Robinson, Carter and Jones are all projected as right side backers; although Jones could possibly handle the left side better than the other two. Should something happen to Woodley, it would be more likely to see Worilds moved to the left promoting someone else to right side starter. This mock kept all five, using one primarily for special teams or gameday inactive duty.
ILB(Buck): Larry Foote, Vince Williams, ILB(Mack): Lawrence Timmons, Stevenson Sylvester - While the team may see different roles for Willams and Sylvester, they could replace either should a more suitable candidate make their presence known in camp, like a Brian Rolle or Marshall McFadden. The Steelers have said they will give Sean Spence another season to recuperate; he will spend the year on injured reserve.
CB: Ike Taylor, Cortez Allen, William Gay, Curtis Brown, Josh Victorian and Terry Hawthorne - Taylor and Allen are virtual locks for the outside starting spots. After shaky play down the final stretch of the 2012 season, Gay was brought in to sure up the depth in nickel packages. Brown, Victorian and DeMarcus Van Dyke will be battling it out for whatever roster spots remain, along with fifth-round selection Hawthorne. Lake has expressed an interest in working with the draft pick, giving him a good opportunity to make good on his coach's favor.
S: Ryan Clark, Troy Polamalu, Robert Golden, Shamarko Thomas - The Troy and Ryan show is slowly winding down, and the team needs to begin developing the talent behind them. Golden made the team as an undrafted rookie last season, and could have an inside track on Clark's spot. Thomas could be groomed to play a Polamlu like role, although with Will Allen and Ryan Mundy both gone to new teams, Cromartie-Smith could also make the roster as insurance disguised on special teams..
K: Shaun Suisham P: Drew Butler LS: Greg Warren - Expect this unit to look much like it did last year, only with better results under new positional coordinator Danny Smith. Danny Hrappman is on the roster to push Suisham, but Suisham had his best season as a pro last year, and the team will most likely wish to see him repeat his success. Brian Moorman was recently added to push sophomore Butler, however Moorman could simply be a mentor to the young Butler. Moorman is a veteran technician who could turn Butler into one of the league's best; or he could just steal his job. Warren is too consistent to consider someone beating him out this year.
Practice Squad
The following eight players may not make the active roster, but could be retained by the team for developmental purposes:
RB John Clay - Curtis McNeal is the only RB remaining on the roster not previously mentioned in this post. Because Batch is no longer PS eligible, the team will most likely stash a back on the squad - but it probably won't be the tiny McNeal. Expect the team to make several swaps of camp bodies this off-season, one of them being a running back - possibly a return of Clay. Clay is not currently under contract with the team, but will serve as a placeholder here until the team finds their scout team back.
WR David Gilreath - Gilreath made the roster for a few games last season, even seeing some returner's duty. This writer is under the impression Gilreath is still PS eligible, even though he also spent a short time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year before returning to Pittsburgh. If he doesn't make the team in camp, he should still make the squad.
WR Derek Moye - Moye has Burress like size. If he can learn to utilize it to his advantage and develop a rapport with Roethlisberger, he could become a pet project for the future of the offense when Burress is gone.
TE Jamie McCoy - With D. Johnson back in camp to serve as a third TE in Miller's absence, McCoy should remain as the team's scout team tight end.
OT: Joe Long - Long, brother of the Rams Jake Long, does not share his sibling's exact skill; however, he may carry enough of the NFL gene to make the squad as an emergency tackle option. Long will have to beat out fellow tackles Golic and Penn State's Mike Farrell.
OG: Nik Embernate - When an NFL team brings you in for a visit, but doesn't end up drafting you; usually it means they closed the door on you. Embernate is one of the rare instances where a team who showed interest before, but passed on him in the draft only to sign him anyway as an undrafted free agent. The team obviously sees something in this young man.
NT: Nicholas Williams - If Williams proves the team right for drafting him in the first place, he could land on the scout team, if not the inactive active roster.
DE: Brian Arnfelt or Cordian Hagans - Both men stand 6-foot-4, at around 300 pounds of mass. With Keisel nearing retirement and the uncertain futures of Hood and Woods, expect the team to retain a LE on the squad.
NT: Anthony Rashad White - Weighing in at 335 pounds according to the team's official website, White sounds like he knows all about big snacks. Perhaps this sleeper could cause the team to forget about Fangupo or Ta'amu. White represents the wild card squad spot. This spot could easily go to LB Marshall McFadden, DB Isaiah Green or one of the draft picks. For this exercise, White's size seemed the most intriguing thing remaining.

Friday's Freeware: Luftikus
This week's freeware is an equalization plug-in called Luftikus, created by lkjb Plug-ins for Mac and Windows.
Luftikus is based on the modeling of an analog equalizer offering five half-octave bands (10Hz, 40Hz, 160Hz, 640Hz and 2.5kHz) and an additional Boost for the high frequencies at 2.5kHz, 5kHz, 10kHz, 20kHz and 40kHz.
The original gain range has been extended to allow additional cuts. A Keep Gain feature and a trim function are also available, which are enhancements compared to the original hardware, and prevent the EQ from clipping. The trim allows for manual adjustments while the Keep Gain reduces the gain while conserving, the global volume as much as possible.
Lastly, you can choose between an "Analog" behavior or a "Mastering" mode with stepped controls.
Luftikus is available in VST format for Windows and VST and AU for Mac OS X, both in 32 and 64-bit. You can download it for free from code.google.com/p/lkjb-plugins/ ("Downloads" tab).
Have a great weekend!

Schobel, Bills face roster bonus deadline
IMHO this does not bode well for him staying. Not to mention asking a 32 year old to play a new position. Would OBD be better off drating a 3-4 hybrid DE/LB? Or signing a FA ala Travis Laboy for less $$? Not a given that Schobel can make transition.

Council to pay living wage
From today, Brighton & Hove City Council will become an accredited Living Wage Employer.
Last year a council committee approved plans to pay all council staff the UK Living Wage rate of £7.45 an hour.
A living wage is defined as enough to provide someone with the basic necessities and comforts of life.
The UK minimum wage is currently £6.19 an hour for someone aged over 21.
Under the scheme, 128 permanent staff will benefit - 98 of whom work in the city's schools - plus staff who work for the council on a casual basis. The council will also be looking at its contractual arrangements to try and make sure that those who work on the council's behalf benefit as well.
– Jason Kitcat, leader, Brighton & Hove City Council
This is a really important step. Poverty pay has no place in society; we know that paying employees a living wage helps tackle inequality and helps families become more independent. Council employees should be paid enough to live here and we are leading by example, we want the living wage to become a real consideration for businesses throughout the city."

Harris Links Vistamax with Automation Products
Cincinnati - Sep 23, 2009 - Harris has entered into strategic business relationships with multiple radio software and automation vendors to extend digital studio workflow options for broadcasters. The relationships will allow vendors to interface their radio automation systems to the Harris PR&E VM Quadra, the latest entry in the company's range of PR&E Vistamax audio management systems.
Introduced at the 2009 NAB Show, VM Quadra is an interface between Vistamax digital studio networks and radio automation systems.

MISSION, KS -- (Marketwire) -- 02/14/13 -- (Family Features) Chefs continue to be inspired by global ingredients in 2013, and home cooks can take a cue by spicing up their own menus, too. Asian-inspired comfort foods with Thai, Vietnamese and Korean seasonings are at the forefront of flavor, and it's never been easier to dial-up your dinners.
Fresh herbs and vegetables are key ingredients when it comes to Asian cooking and, paired with pork, you are sure to deliver a dish that packs delicious flavor. Whether it's a quick weeknight meal during the cooler months, or a themed-dinner party, try prepping the Simple Vietnamese Pork Noodle Bowl as an ultimate crowd-pleaser. Savory pork tenderloin and fresh lime contrast the spicy and sweet essence of vibrant basil.
Additionally, pork tenderloin is one of the leanest proteins available, containing only 3 grams of fat per 3-ounce serving, so fans can dig in with a happy heart. In fact, the American Heart Association (AHA) has recently certified pork tenderloin as a heart-healthy food with its iconic Heart-Check mark. Now there's no better way to say "made with love" than by plating pork for any mealtime occasion.
You can vary this pho-inspired noodle bowl by mixing up the vegetables and garnishes. Try thinly sliced chiles, crushed red pepper flakes or chili sauce to bring on the heat. For a clean punch of flavor, cilantro, mint leaves or scallions will refresh your palate.

Simple Vietnamese Pork Noodle BowlPrep Time: 20 minutesCook Time: 35 minutesMakes: 6 servings1 1 1/4 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch slices12 ounces rice noodles4 cups prepared slaw mix1/4 red onion, thinly sliced4 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth4 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce2 tablespoons canola oil or other neutral-flavored oil1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves1 lime, cut into 6 wedges
Prepare noodles according to package directions. Arrange the noodles in 6 serving bowls. Top with slaw mix and onion, and set aside.
While noodles are cooking, in medium saucepan, combine chicken broth, fish sauce, and soy sauce and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to very low, to keep the broth just below a simmer.
In very large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the pork and cook until browned and cooked to 145 degrees F, 1 to 2 minutes per side (you may have to do this in batches). Let stand at room temperature for three minutes. Arrange the pork on top of the noodle bowls.
Ladle in piping-hot broth, garnish with basil and lime wedges, and serve.
