Change your email signature
It may be a trivial point, but there's a debate to be had on whether having a "Sent from my iPad" signature is really a good idea.
There are a couple of reasons for this. First and foremost, whereas an email signature on your phone may let recipients know that you are out of the office but still responsive, a "Sent from my iPad" could come across as unprofessional (points expanded on by iMore's Rene Ritchie).
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, letting every email recipient know that you have an iPad could make it more likely to be stolen. Granted the odds of this actually happening are low, but why take the risk?
To change your email signature simply head to 'Settings', 'Mail, contacts and calendars', to 'Mail' and then 'Signature'. You'll then be able to change the signature as you see fit.
If you want to set-up different signatures for different accounts, this is also possible. You just have to tap 'Advanced' and change the email signature per email account.
React quicker to work emails by tweaking sounds
Waiting for a business email and want to know instantly when it has arrived? You can do to an extent on the iPad by setting up email alerts and sounds for different email accounts.
Go to 'Settings, 'Sounds' and you can then configure sounds for new email, sent email, new Tweets, Facebook posts, Calendar and even reminder alerts.
Note: Don't bother tampering with the ringer and alerts volume, because the volume is not affected by tweaking the volume controls.
Get smarter by previewing more emails
The Mail client on the iPad previews two lines of incoming emails by default, but you can adjust this if you would like to see more or less information.
Do this by heading the 'Mail, contacts and calendars' and then 'Preview'. You can then play with the preview options with having no preview lines of the email (so just the person's email address) or up to five lines of preview text.
Turn off push notifications for less important messages
It can be difficult keeping on task when your iPad's notifying you every two minutes about emails that are frankly not so important. Luckily, there are ways to get around this.
In Mail settings, there is an option to 'Fetch New Data'. You can set emails to be fetched every 15 minutes, 30 minutes or hourly or hit the 'Advanced' bar to manually decide per email account.
This may be useful if, for example, you'd rather the iPad fetches your work email but not new messages from any personal accounts. If that were the case you would set the work email to 'Fetch' and the personal accounts to 'Manual'.
Get to Drafts faster than before
If you want to get to your Draft inbox faster than before, there's a very quick and neat way of doing that.
When you're in the Mail app, simply tap and hold the compose button and you should find the Drafts box appearing in the bottom right hand corner.
Set up VIPs to become even more productive
Another way of keeping an ear and eye out for emails from important contacts is by using the new VIP tool on iOS 6.
Put simply, it allows you to set "VIPs" and prioritize these emails by setting alert sounds for individual contacts. As an added bonus, all emails from these people can be found in the VIP section.
To set VIPs, you need to touch on the blue arrow to the right of the VIP section. It will then show which people are listed as VIPs, give you the option to add more and also enable you to set custom alerts for emails from these people.
You could, for instance, choose to have VIP emails display in a certain way on the lock home screen and pop up with a mail sound.

Birthdays for Wednesday, Jan. 28
Here's wishing the happiest of birthdays to five fine, fine folks…
Mohammed Alabri is a multimedia specialist for the Public Authority for Radio and Television in Muscat, Oman. A 2012 graduate of the Nizwa College of Applied Science, Mohammed interned at the Oman Establishment for Press, Publication and Advertising and with Brand One Media and Public Relations. Find Mohammed's Twitter feed here.
Randy Foster is managing editor of the Sun Journal of New Bern, N.C. A 1982 graduate of Cal State Northridge, Randy spent seven years as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps and then worked as a private investigator and an insurance adjuster before entering journalism as a reporter for the Daily Journal of Ukiah, Calif. He worked for a number of small papers in California and New Mexico before becoming news editor of the Fayetteville (N.C.) Observer in 2001. He made a go of running a small independent paper in Fayetteville and doing some consulting before taking command in New Bern in 2009. Find his Twitter feed here. Randy turns 55 today.
Katie O'Leary is a designer for Jacqueline Wells Photography and Design of Cleveland, Ohio. A 2013 graduate of Ohio University in Athens, she worked as a page-one designer for the student paper there, the Post. Katie served internships at WYEP-FM in Pittsburgh, the Chautauquan Daily in New York and with UQ marketing, a peer-to-peer marketing group. She moved into her current position in 2013. Find her web site here and her Twitter feed here. Katie turns 24 today.
Jeanette Garcia Polasky is a speechwriter and communications specialist for the Baltimore County government in Towson, Md. A 2003 graduate of Duquesne University, Jeanette worked for the Evening Review of East Liverpool, Ohio, and as a correspondence analyst for the city of Baltimore. She earned a master's degree from Johns Hopkins University in 2008 before becoming deputy director of correspondence and constituent services for the city of Baltimore mayor's office. She also serves as an executive production coordinator for Clearpath Entertainment and is associate editor of Shockwave magazine. Find her web site here and her Twitter feed here.
Eva Finley is a retired postmaster for the U.S. Postal Service. She worked the last few months of her career out of the same post office where she started out as a rural lettercarrier back in the early 1980s in Bradley, S.C. Along the way, she was postmaster in a number of towns in Texas and South Carolina, edited the state postmasters' newsletters for both states and finally served as editor of the national newsletter for the National Association of Postmasters –a newsletter that, really, was more of a slick magazine.
Eva Jane is also my mother. Surely you can see the resemblance in that picture, taken in 2010 when she hired me to speak to a gathering of state postmaster newsletter editors in Washington, D.C.
Here's a funny story about my Mom: She was on her way to Houston when she found out I was interviewing for a job here in Victoria. She hadn't seen me in a couple of years — since I had moved to the West coast — so you can probably guess what she did.
I have the only mom in the world who'd crash a job interview.
Mom is something like 39 years old today. Which doesn't explain how she has a 52-year-old son. But, whatever…
Katie, Jeanette, Mohammed, Randy and Mom share a birthday with actors Elijah Jordan Wood, Barbara Klein (better known as Barbi Benton) and Alphonso Joseph D'Abruzzo (better known as Alan Alda); musicians Sarah Ann McLachlan, Arthur Rubinstein, William Leonard Roberts II (better known as Rock Ro$$), Joseph Anthony "Joey" Fatone Jr. (of 'N Synch) and Nicholas Gene "Nick" Carter (of the Backstreet Boys); sports greats Jessica Ennis (track and field), Daunte Rachard Culpepper (football), Andre Tyler Iguodala (basketball), Jermaine Trevell Dye and Magglio José Ordóñez Delgado (both baseball); authors Susan Sontag and Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (who normally went only by her last name); painter Paul Jackson Pollock; French leader Nicholas Paul Stéphane Sarközy de Nagy-Bocsa and comedian-turned-TV reporter Maurice Alberto "Mo" Rocca.
In addition, today is Data Privacy Day, National Kazoo Day and Thank a Plug In Developer Day. Seriously.
Have a wonderful birthday, y'all! Best wishes!

I love the way this tells the story from two diffrent points of view. You are very talented!
How does the title connect with the context? I hope you don't take any of my questions wrongly.
Do you have any siblings? Mine are NOTHING like your Nauriel and Legolas.
Author's Response: I have way too many siblings for my own good. One brother and five sisters. None of us really hate each other, we're just sort of indifferent unless someone tries to kill one us. Then we're united.
I don't know... I'll write you back, but this is a a really good 1st person with Legolas so far. Keep writing!
wow it sounds like a angst story i like it! and if it isn't then oh well i still like it! XD keep on posting!

No Politics Please, We're Oscars
The inauguration of President Barack Obama today will be the first of three events to transfix the nation in the upcoming month, preceding the Super Bowl on February 1 and the Oscars on the 22nd. In terms of momentousness, however, it will not only overshadow both those annual events—which promise to be particularly anticlimactic this year (what's more stirring, Frost/Nixon or the Arizona Cardinals?)—but will likely also eclipse any public ceremony in the foreseeable future. It's not every day—not even every inauguration—that History is made so visibly.
Obama may well be the world's biggest celebrity, as McCain's team put it months ago, and his life story is the stuff movies are made of. But the joy that millions of people felt while watching him herald a new era affected them directly and personally, unlike the vicarious thrill of watching Sally Field really feel liked, or Roberto Benigni make love everyone in the audience.Certainly, the long road that led an African-American to the presidency has passed through the stage of the Academy Awards (Hattie McDaniel, Sidney Poitier, Halle Berry). But this year, if they truly believe in Obama's calls for change and bipartisanship, Oscar presenters and honorees should refrain from using the Kodak Theater as a giant soapbox. A new poll reveals that the No. 1 viewer complaint about the Oscars is the political speeches. Self-righteousness about Obama's victory would be especially out of place in a year where so few black actors are being considered for nominations. (Yes, there's Viola Davis in Doubt but it's shocking that Jeffrey Wright was hardly mentioned for Cadillac Records.)
Celebrities had their chance to celebrate Obama over the weekend. So on Oscar night, they should stick to celebrating what they know and love: themselves. Being unjustifiably opinionated is a blogger's job, thank you very much. Luckily, neither Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, nor George Clooney are up for anything. Sean Penn is, but we'll grant him a pass if he wins for his Obamian portrayal of Harvey Milk.
So this year, let's sit back and watch our dashingly flamboyant Australian host sing and dance, and leave the world-changing to professionals. Oh, and go Dark Knight!

For many years the Trumpet has informed its readers of the true imperialist agenda of certain elites in Germany. Many, in their ignorance, laughed. Now, however, some of the brightest and best of analysts are waking up to the true nature of the agenda of the current generation of German imperialists.
Our long-time readers will know that one of the sources we often quote is Texas-based think tank Stratfor. We first noticed the astute analysis of Dr. George Friedman, Stratfor's ceo, during the Balkan wars of the 1990s. We even published a cover story featuring an article he wrote exposing the falsehood behind reports of Serbian-instigated genocide.

CogniPrime Advantage (60 capsules, 30-day supply) | memory vitamins & supplements
Item# MME
Save 10% Plus Get FREE Shipping on Today's Order with AutoDelivery! What is AutoDelivery?
Studies on the nutrients in CogniPrime® Advantage reveal quicker memory, clarity, and focus
- Significantly increases attention and focus
- Enhances short-term memory and recall
- Improves long-term brain health
- Safe to take with Coumadin
- Stimulant free!
Over the years I've encountered people with concerns about their mind and memory. Now you can quickly improve your sharp, quick mental edge. My CogniPrime Advantage memory supplement contains a specific combination of nutrients that work fast to boost your brain power.
CogniPrime Advantage's incredible mental edge comes from two clinically studied nutrients. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that both quality and speed of memory improved quickly in the subjects taking Cereboost™, a premium American ginseng rich in brain-nourishing ginsenosides. That means quickly recalling numbers, names, and words!
Tried-and-true Ayurvedic herb in CogniPrime Advantage supports long-term memory
The next superstar, BacoMind® is a clinically studied extract of Bacopa monnieri, a well-known Ayurvedic herb. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, participants with memory decline were given 450 mg of BacoMind. At the end of 12 weeks, those taking BacoMind scored significantly better on both attention and verbal tests.
In a second double-blind, placebo-controlled study, participants taking BacoMind daily for 12 weeks performed significantly better in 6 different memory function tests than those taking the placebo. It's safe to say BacoMind gives you excellent long-term memory support.
Preserve your brain health with vitamins B6 and B12 in CogniPrime Advantage
My CogniPrime Advantage also gives you vitamins B6 and B12. These B vitamins support neurotransmission and overall brain health.
Vitamin B6 contributes significantly to cognitive development. B6 also plays a role in the transmission of nerve impulses. Plus, B6 boosts your mood and motivation by facilitating the production of key neurotransmitters, serotonin and dopamine. Every single thought, idea, feeling, and memory you have is a result of the neurotransmitters in your brain—the messengers that are in constant communication with each other and every part of your body.
Vitamin B12 supports the synthesis of myelin (the sheath that protects the nerve axon and helps conductivity). Healthy nerves means normal brain function.
The critical link between homocysteine levels and brain function
Today, more and more research has emerged linking homocysteine levels and brain health. That's why I've included folic acid in CogniPrime Advantage. Folic acid promotes normal homocysteine levels for optimal cognitive function. In fact, in a recent study, elevated homocysteine levels were associated with a decline in recall memory, while in another study high folate levels were associated with maintaining verbal and cognitive skills.
CogniPrime Advantage also gives you vitamin D for improved cognitive performance
The next nutrient, vitamin D, has a long list of benefits. And now we can add brain health to its impressive resume. Research shows that vitamin D positively affects proteins in the brain directly linked to learning and memory. In two European studies, participants with higher blood levels of vitamin D demonstrated better cognitive performance.
The first study assessed vitamin D levels in more than 3,100 men aged 40 to 79 in 8 different countries across Europe. Scientists found that the higher the levels of vitamin D, the better performance in tests of attention and speed of processing information.
A second study, this time looking at 752 women older than 75 years, found that women who were deficient in vitamin D scored lower on the SPMSQ cognitive status test.
Only you control the destiny of your mind
CogniPrime Advantage provides cutting-edge nutrients that quickly improve your ability to recall names, dates, words, and numbers. You'll feel clear, focused, and sharper—without the jitters you may get from other memory supplements that rely on stimulants.
Each nutrient has been studied and shown to be effective, and the only place you'll find them together, in the research doses, is in my CogniPrime Advantage. Take CogniPrime Advantage daily to stay focused, to sharpen your mind and reduce mental fatigue, and protect your brain for the long term. Always remember that you control what happens to your mind and you have the ability to keep it sharp and focused.

Science and Quality
- In a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, 32 healthy adults (age 18–40) were given single doses of Cereboost (100, 200, or 400 mg) or placebo and performed a series of cognitive tests measuring attention, working memory, and secondary memory. Significant improvements were seen in immediate word recall, choice reaction time, numeric working memory, and Corsi block tests. While all dosages had some benefit on cognitive function, 200 mg appears to be the dose associated with the best overall effect.1
- In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 44 subjects (average age 64 years) were given 450 mg of BacoMind or placebo daily. All test subjects complained of memory impairment for at least one year, but none exhibited any major cognitive deficit based on the Mini Mental State Examination. Test subjects performed a battery of memory, attention and cognitive tests at the beginning and end of the 12 week study period. Results show that those taking BacoMind scored significantly better than placebo on the following attention and verbal memory tests: backward digit-span task, list learning, delayed recall, paired associates, dissimilar delayed recall and visual retention.2
- In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, Bacopa moniera extract (300 mg/day for 12 weeks) was shown to improve cognitive function in healthy human subjects by improving visual information processing, learning rate, and memory consolidation, with maximum effect at 12 weeks.3
Vitamin D3
- Researchers studied vitamin D levels in more than 3,100 men aged 40 to 79 in eight different countries across Europe. They found that the higher the levels of vitamin D, the better performance in tests of attention and speed of processing information.4
- A second study, this time looking at 752 women older than 75 years, found that women who were deficient in vitamin D scored lower on the SPMSQ cognitive status test.5

Huskies' Terrence Ross, Tony Wroten in no-lose situation, but here's how they win
One more year in college basketball could be an investment worth tens of millions of dollars when they become NBA players.
Seattle Times staff columnist
UW @ WSU, 5 p.m., ROOT
The lobbying began late Saturday afternoon with an eruption of "One more year!" chants directed at Terrence Ross. As the Edmundson Pavilion sellout crowd filled the arena with its wish, Ross shook his head, not in defiance but in humility. The mellow sophomore guard is still growing into his stardom.
If such a late-game moment had presented itself for freshman Tony Wroten Jr., the crowd likely would've rooted for his return with similar passion. The duo — quite possibly the best tandem in Washington men's basketball history in terms of raw talent — has arrived as a true force in college basketball, and the Huskies are making another late dash to the NCAA tournament mostly because of their stars' maturation.
Ross and Wroten are roommates with complementary skills. Ross is a gazelle with unlimited athleticism and shooting touch, and his game is cloaked in silk. Wroten is a bulldog — not just a Garfield High School Bulldog, but a true, hard-edged competitor — and his game is a combination of stellar quickness, rare court vision and unrivaled fearlessness.
Together, they're clicking now, and the clock is ticking on how long they'll remain in college. While both players will wait until season's end to make an informed decision, everyone else is forming an opinion now.
The general consensus figures to be cries that they're not ready because, well, that's what people are predisposed to saying. But what does "they're not ready" really mean? Our perception of their games is affected positively or negatively by watching them all the time. In the Age of the Unpolished Prospect in the NBA, we tend to evaluate young players' NBA readiness in a vacuum and hold them to unrealistic standards.
In reality, pro readiness should be gauged by asking three primary questions:
• Is the player good enough right now to get a guaranteed contract (all first-round picks receive that automatically; some second-rounders earn it)?
• Is the player mature enough to handle the inevitable struggles of being a pro?
• Most important, how great are the benefits of staying when measured against the opportunity to realize a dream and make good money by leaving early?
It would be a moderate surprise if both Ross and Wroten stay. It's probable that one stays and one goes. It's clear that another year of school would help Ross and Wroten, but if both players decide to leave and are drafted in the first round in June, it'll be hard to argue with their decisions.
So, how should you frame your "One more year!" pleas? There's a more persuasive alternative to "they're not ready."
The most compelling argument centers on the chance to enhance both their legacy and earning potential.
Both Ross and Wroten should be first-round picks. Ross is a potential lottery pick in what should be a loaded 2012 draft. Wroten has more things to prove, such as perimeter shooting ability, but he's a 6-foot-5 point guard with multiple obvious NBA skills (quickness, court vision, size and great athleticism for a point guard), so he's too intriguing for 30 teams to pass up.
But how much money could Ross and Wroten make, over the life of their pro careers, if they refine their skills in college another year and enter the NBA truly ready to make an impact, not just ready to be in the league?
One more year could be an investment worth tens of millions of dollars.
Ross and Wroten will have to think not only about their rookie contracts, but determine how to be in position to maximize their second contract, which is where they'll make the majority of their money.
Besides money, what's a legacy worth? Isaiah Thomas had to answer that question last year. He had an opportunity to break records and set a new standard by making the Big Dance four straight years at Washington. But Thomas decided it was his time to go. Some mocked him. Now, despite being taken with the last pick in the draft, he's starting for the Sacramento Kings, and he just dropped 23 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds on No. 1 pick Kyrie Irving.
Of course, Thomas had three years' worth of accomplishments when he left. Ross and Wroten are underclassmen. Do they want to be in the record books? Do they want to have multiple chances to make a deep tournament run? Do they want to come back to the Northwest every summer knowing that they owned this region instead of renting it? Do they want to leave Washington as two of the greatest winners in program history and not just arguably the most talented? One more year could cement their legacies and their draft stock.
Ross and Wroten have the talent to make any decision a good one. If they stay healthy, they're destined to be good pros. Don't frown on them if they make the jump now. But if they defer the money and stick around, it's a decision that could be both pleasing to the masses and lucrative in the long run.

One south metro teacher has taken matters into her own hands to prevent student absences, and better their overall health, by adding a little sunshine.
Alison Zak, a teacher at Twin Oaks Middle School in Prior Lake, said she noticed the winter months bringing a higher rate of absences and illnesses in her students.
Zak is a part of the ATLAS program at the school. ATLAS, which stands for Achieve To Learn Academic Success, uses unique instructional approaches for students in grades 7 and 8 who struggle in a traditional school setting, according to the school. She has two students who have been diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
SAD is a type of depression that typically occurs each year during fall and winter.
Zak, along with the school guidance counselor, came up with the idea of SAD lamps to have in her classroom. According to a report from the Mayo Clinic, light therapy boxes can offer effective treatment for SAD.
Light boxes mimic outdoor light. Researchers believe this type of light causes a chemical change in the brain that lifts your mood and eases other symptoms of SAD, the report said.
She started using the lamps in her classroom Thursday. She said students have had a positive response to the light fixtures, which the students soak in for no more than 20 minutes at a time.
Makers of the lamps say excess use can have adverse effects such as irritability and hyper activity.
Zak was able to buy them with a $500 grant she received from the Laker Educational Foundation. The school purchased five lamps, three for the classroom and two that will be used in the guidance office.
"We felt they were important to the students," Zak said. "I know there is a lot of emphasis on testing scores and educational development, but middle school is also a time of tremendous social and emotional growth."

So I went on the Today Show yesterday to talk about some themes you know well by now — deconstructing meals, picky eaters, my Trickle-Down Theory of Dinner (see page 10!) and of course, the book itself. I've known about this segment for about three months now — my publisher called me with the news while I was watching soccer practice — and if I were a certain kind of person I suppose I would have been broadcasting this news all over the world, posting it on my events page and facebook, tweeting from the green room and all that, but the truth is: I was kinda terrified about the whole Live TV thing. To the point where over the past few months I've been dividing my life into two distinct eras: (more…)

Far Cry 2
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.01
Timedemo or Level Used: Ranch Long
Developer Homepage: http://www.ubi.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.farcry2.com/
The Dunia Engine was built specifically for Far Cry 2 by the award-winning Ubisoft Montreal development team. It delivers the most realistic destructible environments, amazing special effects such as dynamic fire propagation and storm effects, real-time night-and-day cycle, dynamic music system, non-scripted enemy A.I. and so much more.
Across the board we see some good gains from Far Cry 2 with the best being seen at the lower resolution, much like we just saw in Crysis Warhead.

2012-05. Third Month of Resistance Against a Radius Gold-owned Mine in Guatemala
June 4th, 2012
San José del Golfo and San Pedro Ayampuc, Guatemala, Guatemala.
May 30th, 2012.
Issues: Mining / Land Tenure
Barely 28 kilometers northeast from Guatemala City, community members from the municipalities of San José del Golfo and San Pedro Ayampuc, also within the Department of Guatemala, have blocked the entrance to the Tambor gold mine since March 2nd, 2012. The mining project, also known as Progreso 7 Derivada, belongs to Exploraciones Mineras de Guatemala, S.A. (EXMINGUA), local subsidiary of Canadian junior mining company Radius Gold Inc.
The community members in resistance who have come together to form the so-called North Metropolitan Peoples in Resistance Front (FRENAM), base their principal demand on their constitutional right to a community consultation, or local plebiscite. The industrial mining project began exploratory operations earlier this year without any consent from the local population nor has the government of Guatemala, at any level, carried out a consultation.
Locals hold a banner in front of the temporary camp that reads: "Mining exploitation is contamination. Do NOT sell your lands. Yes to life!"
Angelina Noj, from San Pedro Ayampuc, holds her son Esmit in front of the blocked entrance gate to the Tambor mine.
Local children sit on top of the entrance gate to the mining project. Members of FRENAM have blocked all access in and out of the mine since March 2nd, 2012.
On Saturday May 26th, 2012, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Guatemala, Monsignor Óscar Julio Vian Morales, paid a visit to the temporary camp on his way to the inauguration of a local church.
Yoli Oquely Veliz, neighbor from San José del Golfo, pleads Monsignor Vian Morales to support their "pacific resistance in favor of life itself and for the future of their communities and children." Nevertheless, Monsignor Vian Morales' visit was rather brief and the Archbishop did not mention anything specific regarding the struggle in San José del Golfo and San Pedro Ayampuc.
Despite not stating a strong posture verbally, many locals viewed the Archbishop's visit as a significant one full of symbolism in favor of their struggle.
Marleni Morales, from San Pedro Ayampuc, stands in front of a banner that reads: "Every Mine Contaminates."
Efren Sinay, from San Pedro Ayampuc, laments the harassment suffered by the locals in resistance. Particularly, Mr. Sinay denounces the events that took place last May 8th, 2012. That night, a little after midnight, several National Police vehicles escorted heavy machinery and attempted to enter the mining site by force. Locals quickly gathered numbers and managed to avert the convoy.
Members of FRENAM prepare tortillas in order to feed those protesters who will spend the night under the temporary shacks outside the entrance gate to the Tambor gold mine.
"The Grandmother", a neighbor from San Pedro Ayampuc, serves dinner plates made up of rice, black beans and corn tortillas.
Isidra Bac, from San Pedro Ayampuc, lays in a hammock as she prepares to sleep over in the temporary protest camp. This will be her fifth full night since the protest began on March 2nd. Ms. Bac believes the excellent organization by the locals has helped their cause, as a well balanced rotation has kept anyone from living permanently outside the company's gate.
Behind the official welcome sign to San José del Golfo, locals have hung a large banner that reads: "Stop! The extraction of our natural resources means only progress for foreigners. No to Mining! Mining contaminates, sickens and kills."
Arcadio Monroy, from San Pedro Ayampuc, sits in front of the entrance gate to the Tambor project. Local members of FRENAM have vowed to continue their peaceful resistance until their constitutional right to a community consultation is approved and carried out. Despite their resistance, FRENAM published a communiqué on May 30th stating the possibility of an imminent eviction carried out. (1)

OUR NEW STUDIO WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY HURRICANE SANDY. Tape machines, consoles, mics, and all of our gear were submerged in salt water and the toxic waters of the gowanus canal. 15+ years of collecting, building, rebuilding, and modifying gear all destroyed. We have insurance for some of the gear, but the 7000 sq ft facility we built over the last year is not covered. If you can help with donations to help rebuild, that would be fastastic. We have a site up to donate here.
We can also use many types of non-monetary help too--help in trying to clean equipment, space to work on trying to restore the consoles, etc. If you can help with anything, please let us know.. Thanks!
While rebuilding, I'll be working out of several great studios around Brooklyn. Please let me know if you want to work on something!
The Civil Defense website is currently under construction. If you have skills in web design or development and want to trade studio time, please get in touch!
We are a recording studio that was established in 2005 in Williamsburg.
We recently moved to a brand new, much larger and nicer facility in Gowanus, Brooklyn right off the F/G/R trains, and also, and have recently expanded to include another huge tracking space in gowanus, so there are plenty of tracking options for any size project.
You can find information about the studio and things we've done here on Sonicsearch.
Please visit us on facebook here.
And we recently got some press on Sonicscoop.
On either of the first two links you can find info on rates, gear, bands, and spaces. We've done some major changes in the last year or two, including building a new studio with 5 isolated tracking areas and installing a classic 1979 MCI JH 528c console, a 24-channel pro tools hd2 setup, and a 2" 24-track tape machine, and we're really excited!
Current special: Any session booked in 2012 at the new space will get a special introductory rate! Get in touch for details. I'm also doing an ongoing discount for anyone I've worked with at my old spaces--your whole first session will get the introductory rate, whenever you do it.
To meet up, get demo clips, or for any other questions, please email us.

Slow Food Weighs in on Animal Welfare
Belgium - 12 Feb 14
An ever-pressing issue when it comes to how our food is produced, animal welfare has become an important topic for Slow Food in recent years, with increasing attention being given to the debate and our projects that have a direct impact on the conditions in which animals are raised. This month we continue to make our voice heard – this time in Brussels, as we participate in two conferences on the issue.
Today, Piero Sardo, President of the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity, will talk at the European Commission at the conference: Main achievements of the EU strategy for the welfare of animals 2012-2015. The European Commission is organizing the conference on occasion of their mid-term assessment of the EU strategy on animal welfare. The Commission is due to start the preparations for the draft of the EU general animal welfare framework law. It is therefore of utmost importance for Slow Food to engage in dialogue with the EU at this stage in discussions to ensure the views and needs of small-scale farmers on this issue are not overlooked.
Also in Brussels, next week Anne-Marie Matarrese, representing Slow Food on animal welfare, will speak at the conference: Averting Farmageddon: Sustainable Food for All, organized by Compassion in World Farming and the Greek Presidency of the EU. The event will focus on the impacts of intensive animal agriculture – on people, on the planet and on animals – as well as the positive solutions available to us. Matarrese will discuss the importance of a holistic approach to food and farming in European policy, an approach that must include animal welfare as a priority. Other speakers will include Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Right to Food and Ben Caspar, Coordinator of the EU Sustainable Food Communication in EU Commission Directorate-General for the Environment. This event is open to the public. Find out more.
Find out more about our position on animal welfare.

Buying property in Thailand
RE: RE: What Century are you in?
A lot of "inactive" posts get into corruption, land-grabbing, etc., etc. -
to become active again.
In fact one major reason why they became corrupt in the first place - while in their supposedly "active" posts was that there was enough money to be made on their low salaries. This especially so with Thai police.
The only way to really sort out this mess is more free-market reforms : let foreigners buy much more - but tax them. And above all else - pay the police a decent salary !! Thailand could do that through increased foreign buying, and increased taxes there-from.
RE: RE: What Century are you in?
Foreigners arrested in Samui raids
Thai also nabbed in bogus land titles case
Three foreigners and a Thai former land official were arrested yesterday in police raids to shut down a syndicate allegedly issuing illegal land rights documents on Koh Samui. Peter Watkin Jones, 40, of Britain, Kim Lindegaard Neilsen, 36, of Denmark, and Pramual Somwong, a former Samui land official, were arrested in raids on the island.
A second Briton, Crispin John Grandvil Paton-Smith, 43, was arrested in Pattaya.
The three foreigners are charged with illegal assembly and extortion, while Mr Pramual was charged with malfeasance.
They are among seven suspects wanted by authorities for alleged involvement in the illegal issuance of land documents on the island in Surat Thani province.
Three others _ Peter Buch Rosenberg, 35, of Denmark; Pratheep Muangkaew, who runs an accounting firm on Koh Samui as well as being a prosecutor attached to the Labour Court in Bangkok; and Samroeng Buanak, a local influential figure _ remained at large.
The Koh Samui raids were conducted by teams of police and officials from the Department of Special Investigation (DSI), the Office of the Narcotics Control Board and the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO).
The raids targeted luxury hilltop villas and business venues in four villages on the island.
DSI chief Pol Gen Sombat Amornvivat, assistant national police chief Pol Lt-Gen Chalor Chuwong and Police Region 8 chief Pol Lt-Gen Kamol Huayhongthong yesterday flew to Koh Samui to interrogate the suspects.
Pol Gen Sombat said the raids came after receiving information from the British, Danish and Swedish embassies that members of the Bandidos motorcycle gang in Thailand had colluded with a British mafia group to buy up extensive commercial interests on Koh Samui.
They allegedly ran many businesses on the island, including property developers, restaurants, entertainment and tourist enterprises, as fronts for unlawful activities.
The foreign suspects are believed to be members of the criminal organisation. It is not known if Mr Pramual is also a member.
Some Bandidos chapters have been accused of operating a trans-national crime network involved in drugs, extortion, human trafficking, weapons smuggling and money laundering.
Pol Gen Sombat said the motorcycle gang extorts money from local businesses on Koh Samui or uses drug revenues to take them over. They have also bribed local officials to issue illegal land ownership documents on public land.
Amlo will be asked to take legal measures against those involved in money laundering, said the DSI chief, adding seven cases of land encroachment on Koh Samui were being investigated by his department.
RE: RE: What Century are you in?
Two bikiesdenied bail
The Criminal Court has ordered that two foreigners, members of the Bandidos motorcycle club, arrested in connection with an alleged land grab on Koh Samui be held in custody for 12 days pending further investigation.
The Department of Special Investigation opposed bail, saying it feared witnesses may be intimidated. Checks would also be made to see if the suspects had criminal records overseas.
Kim Lindegaard Neilsen, 36, of Denmark, and Crispin John Granville Paton-Smith, 43, of Britain, have denied charges of illegal assembly and extortion.
Tuesday's raid followed a complaint to the DSI by British businessman Neil Patrick Williams, who had a bungy jumping business with the two suspects and another suspect, Peter Watkin Jones, 40, also British. When Mr Williams learned of their alleged illegal activities and tried to withdraw, they allegedly threatened to silence him.
RE: RE: What Century are you in?
Firm to be sued for illegal land deals
Title deed on Samui issued unlawfully
A panel investigating the issuing of land documents on Koh Samui is preparing legal action against a company for alleged illegal acquisition of land on the tourist island. Sunthorn Watcharakuldirok, director of the Forestry Department's forest protection and suppression division, who heads the inquiry, said they had finished compiling documentary evidence relating to the occupation of a 96 rai block of land on Khao Duang Nok mountain.
There was evidence on the ground showing that the issuance of title deeds for the plot was illegal, he said.
Plans to take legal action against staff involved in issuing the land documents are also being drawn up.
The panel had handed its investigation report to caretaker Natural Resources and Environment Minister Yongyuth Tiyapairat.
A court order would be sought to revoke the land documents so the land could be returned to the state.
The investigation was ordered by Mr Yongyuth following an uproar over an advertisement for the sale of a 514-rai land plot by The Peak property project posted by a foreign firm.
The project developer was selling the land for eight million baht a rai, totalling more than 4.1 billion baht.
The probe report handed to Mr Yongyuth found that title had been unlawfully issued for 96 rai of land on Khao Duang Nok mountain because the Sor Khor 1 land rights document held by the firm was for only 26 rai, not 96. The Sor Khor 1 paper was needed to apply for the title deed. The issuance of a land document for the firm's second plot, of about 500 rai, was being investigated.
Mr Sunthorn said the panel would extend its investigation to look into the issuing of title deeds for ''several hundred rai of land'' on Lamai mountain that had been earmarked for development as a nine-hole golf course.
The panel's coordinating centre had been flooded with complaints that several forest and public land areas on the island had been encroached upon, he added.
Surat Thani provincial authorities yesterday met local leaders in Koh Samui and Koh Phangan districts to allay residents' fears that their land documents would be revoked as a result of the inquiry.
Provincial governor Vichit Vichaisarn gave an assurance that lawfully issued documents would be left untouched. Only areas suspected of part of public or forest land would be investigated, he said.
RE: RE: What Century are you in?
Land scandalon Samui needs study
Prachachart Turakij editorial _ Over two decades ago, Samui was known as a paradise island with beautiful beaches and verdant forests. As tourism grew, property developers descended on the island. New hotels and luxury housing projects sprouted up. Land prices skyrocketed.
Samui is back in the news, but for a different reason. Two weeks ago, Surat Thani provincial authorities began looking into possible encroachment onto forest reserve land and other illegal ownership.
Caretaker Natural Resources and Environment Minister Yongyuth Tiyapairat flew to the island with investigators. He said there was evidence that several plots of land around Khao Dang and Khao Duangnok might have been obtained illegally for sale to foreigners.
Meanwhile, another investigation was launched by Pien Yongnu, head of the Bangkok Metropolitan Waterworks Labour Union, who claimed that leading members of the ruling Thai Rak Thai party had bought large parcels of land from local villagers and later obtained title deeds.
Sand was dumped onto rocky beaches while local authorities were ordered to cut a new road into the area, Mr Pien claimed.
Our own investigations reveal that foreign companies are involved in the current land development boom on Samui. Big advertisements for property projects have appeared in Thai and foreign media to draw foreign buyers.
Some of these projects are operated by foreigners who use Thai proxies to set up companies here. With a lot of money at their disposal, these foreign property developers buy land along the beaches and on the hills.
We urge caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to look into this matter and take action against anyone found to have violated the law.
RE: RE: What Century are you in?
Ex-prosecutor surrenders to face land title bribe charges
A former prosecutor wanted in connection with land encroachment on Koh Samui yesterday surrendered to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI). Pratheep Muangkaew, a former prosecutor turned land developer, was charged by the DSI for bribing land officials into issuing land documents for his property.
However, he insisted yesterday that he had acquired the land legally and without the use of bribery.
Mr Pratheep bailed himself out of the Criminal Court with a 350,000 baht title deed after the charges were laid.
''I have sold several plots on Koh Samui over the years but had no clue that the foreigners who bought them from me had a bad history. As a developer, I admit that there are problems with title deeds on Koh Samui but I did not know which process was problematic,'' he said.
He bought land through lawyers and never knew any members of the Bandidos motorcycle gang.
''It was not possible to know all your clients and who they really were,'' he said. The DSI in a raid last Tuesday arrested three foreigners and a Thai, who was a former land official on Koh Samui, and charged them with extortion and malfeasance.
Mr Pratheep was one of the seven suspects implicated in the illegal issuance of land documents on the resort island.
The DSI yesterday also brought Kim Lindergaard Neilsen, a 36-year-old Dane charged in the case, to the Criminal Court.
Meanwhile, the Land Department has transferred three land officials for their alleged involvement in the illegal issuance of land documents to developers of the Peak property project, a reliable source said yesterday.
The three were ordered transferred by Land Department chief Pirapol Tritotsavit. The suspects, who were not named, were moved to inactive posts to facilitate the inquiry.
One was transferred on July 18 and the other two, who were C-5 and C-6 level officials, on July 21.
State action on The Peak project on Koh Samui, which had allegedly acquired land illegally on Khao Dang and Khao Duang Nok mountain, followed after advertisements for the sale of 514 rai of land on a website and in a property trading guide were placed by Samui Property Solutions, a foreign firm.
The land, being sold for up to eight million baht a rai, for a total of 4.1 billion baht, set alarm bells ringing and a crackdown was ordered to put an end to land encroachment by tourist resorts.
Surat Thani Ssenator Pravit Nilwatcharamanee said the government should take the land scandal seriously and bring those behind the encroachments and money-laundering to justice.

There is obviously a lot of research that went into this. I did a lot of research for An Unnatural Soldier, so I recognize the quality of work here. Youve done a great job of capturing the tone of the times, especially the Kings pardon and the friction between the papists and those members of society who belong to the more accepted religion.
The fight scenes are well-done, with lots of good description: lots of weapon research there. And I love how youve captured the tempestuous relationship between Calico Jack and Anne.
However there are some problems. The dialogue for one; its a mixture of what we know of eighteenth century speech and something Ill call Pirate-speak. There is no way to know for sure how people in the early 1700s spoke. We have no records of their actual speech: only letters. And the language of letter-writing was as carefully crafted as the penmanship. Even letters between close friends, or among family members, were not allowed to stray into common vernacular.
I dont believe that people of that era, or any other era, actually spoke the way we hear them in their letters. I dont believe that people who watched Shakespeare spoke that way themselves. The written language of those days was more flowery and descriptive than everyday speech, and I think this is a common mistake that writers make when trying to re-capture the essence of those times.
As to the Pirate-speak, I think most of that was adopted in the popular telling and re-telling of the tales of Pirates when the stories were handed down orally. The region was a mix of language and culture, so those people who had been born speaking some other language would certainly have sounded more like Pirates than those who had been educated in English-speaking schools as children.
I believe James Bonny, Jack Rackham and Mary Reade would have all sounded closer to modern Brits in their speech, except for vernacular expressions. Mary Reade was born in England, so I doubt she would have used be for are or any of the other variations that set Pirate-speak apart from day-to-day Plain-speak. I think its a mis-conception that Pirates spoke like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean.
I also think that even if people did use more flowery period speech in the actual time, it should still be modernized for the movies, just to make it easier to understand. You can see this in the more successful adaptations of period pieces. And I think the film-makers for Pirates went the opposite route of emphasizing the Pirate-speak to make the movie more fun.
Another problem is that script is quite obviously a period piece, and they dont do well in Hollywood. The difference between this script and say 300, or Romeo and Juliet or Just Visiting is that all of those scripts came from people who had already made money doing more mainstream work, and that they were made primarily to entertain, not to exactly re-tell the events of a certain point in history.
At least youve studied the value of set-pieces. This script just bristles with them. I really like all the descriptions of the noises of battle and when the ship runs onto the reef and into other ships. Didnt think of that one!
Speaking of flaws, the third one is pretty bad. This story really suffers from the lack of a specific antagonist. This is the same mistake I made with my Civil War script and I think really hurt its chances when it was being reviewed by Script Shark for the SOM.
The antagonist in Anne Bonny is a shifting mass of English government, her own internal religious struggles, and other pirates, but there is never any one person who directly opposes Anne and her goals. And there is no showdown in the third act. Audiences love a good fight between the hero and her enemy, especially in a story that can be classified as action/adventure. After seeing review after review for An Unnatural Soldier and trying and failing to come up with a specific antagonist, I vowed never to make that mistake again. Now I always set it up when Im doing character studies during the outline phase. Who is my heros enemy? Why are they enemies? What are the enemys wants and needs?
The enemy becomes the enemy because he is the hero of his own story. In The Fugitive, the enemy is very clearly Detective Gerard, who is most definitely a good guy. But hes the antagonist because he opposes the person the writer has set up as the hero: Dr. Kimble. So the antagonist doesnt have to be a bad guy: just the person who directly opposes the main characters main goal.
Having a clear antagonist is what creates conflict and conflict is what creates drama.
Other than that its a fine story. It reads well and is easy to follow. The characters are clearly drawn and maintain their personalities from scene to scene, never an easy thing to do. There is a lot of work that went into this script and it shows in every word and every line. Good job.

Solving Simple Logarithmic Equations - Concept
In order to understand solving logarithmic equations, students must understand the basics of logarithms, and how to use exponentiation to access the terms inside the logarithm. Some more complicated instances of solving simple logarithmic equations require knowledge of the product, quotient and power rules of logarithms in order to simplify complex terms.
Solving simple logarithm equations and what I mean by simple logarithm equations is basically logarithm equation that is in logarithm form. so basically you have a log, a base, your term and then an answer. So basically, 3 things, I'll call this a simple logarithmic equation.
Really all you have to do whenever you're solving something in this form is put into exponential form, okay? No matter what the x is we're going to deal with x's in all 3 of these spots. Just put into exponential form and solve, okay? So this one the 3 is going to come up and around leaving us with x=3 to the -2 and this problem has now just turned into evaluating an exponent. The negative puts everything in the bottom, the 2 squares it and we end up with x=1 over 9.
So whenever we ha- any time we have an equation in logarithm form, in order to solve it put an exponential and then solve it as you would in the other exponential equations.

Pens Vs Caps Grades
Pens Overpower Caps
Even Strength Offense: C
It wasn't much to write home about. They had only 45 shot attempts, and that includes the power play. They had only 10 shots in the first and third periods combined. So it certainly wasn't Pittsburgh Penguin Ice Hockey (which will henceforth be called PPIH). Probably the best thing they did at even strength was draw penalties. They did put two past some pathetic Capital goaltending, neither of which will end up on the How To Beat A Goalie instructional video. Dupuis kind of whacked one between Neuvirth's legs, which so ticked off Adam Oates that he pulled his sieve. Then Matt Cooke(!) zinged one past a sleeping Holtby off a faceoff. And that was it for the even strength offense.
Even Strength Defense: B
The defense was sound most of the night, though they did allow Ovechickensh!t too much space on many occasions. Memo to Bylsma: never match up Deryk Engelland against number 8. Engo is still looking for his jockstrap after that move Ovie put on him..
Power Play: A+
The first power play was so horrid that I decided not to watch the second one. Bang, they score 10 seconds in on a tic-tac-toe passing play (holy cow, one of Sid's cross-ice passes actually worked!). But they were just getting started. Kunitz and Neal combined for a beautiful goal on the transition. Then Sid batted on out of midair just moments after Holtby had robbed him on a similar play. Food for thought: does the power play outburst make you wonder if Letang is the issue on that unit?
Penalty Kill: D
Um, the Caps have this guy named Ovechickensh!t that likes to hang out in the left circle on the power play. You might want to be aware of that. I'm talking to you, Craig Adams (Harvard grad) and you, Deryk Engelland.
Goaltending: A-
Fleury made a couple spectacular saves on Ovie, who was basically Washington's only offensive threat. He really had little chance on either goal. He was knocked off balance by Orpik on the first one, and Ovechickensh!t just blew it by him on the power play. He was standing tall and challenging shooters all night.
Overall: B
It's nice to finally beat this outfit in regulation at home. First time in six years. Granted, the Caps aren't who they used to be. The offense really doesn't threaten anyone right now.. The goaltending is very shaky. And once they got down, they seemed to lose interest. But the Pens took full advantage, too, so give them credit. It certainly wasn't their best effort, but the power play bailed them out. Yes, you read that right. The power play was the difference, scoring three times. Once they got the read, they did what they needed to in the third period to maintain it.
And now, the rest of the story…
Sid: A
A very weak first period, but who can argue with three points in the second?.
Geno: A
James Neal: C
I didn't think he was particularly good, but he did have two points.
Z-Boy: F
He's one of those guys who looks flashy but never produces. The Geno line has produced zero ES goals since they put Z-Boy on it. The chemistry just isn't there.
Matt Cooke: A
He's rounding into form.
Tyler Kennedy: F
Can a winger be any more awful?
Dylan Reese: A
He played 14 minutes and I never noticed him. That's the ultimate compliment for a 7 or 8 defenseman.
Robert Bortuzzo: A
He continues to impress. The next step is to try him on the PK if Letang is out any length of time.
The Capitals: F
Boy, what has happened to this team? Caps blog Japers Rink offers their take. It's a great read.
Striped Buffoonery
My compliments to Walkom and Kimmerly. I thought they had butchered the Caps' first goal when Fleury's mask came off. But they got it exactly right. It was Orpik who hit Feury and the mask coming off doesn't stop play unless the Pens had possession.
The save Fleury made on Ovechickensh!t when the latter undressed Engelland. Spectacular!
Bibsy's Creative Language
He described Ovechkin's move on Bortuzzo as "a slew type foot like a trip.†What were you tripping on, Bibsy?

Tonight's dinner; turkey meatballs with greek seasoning, tzatziki sauce for dipping, couscous and a warm spinach-romaine salad with a balsamic vinaigrette and topped with toasted almonds and dried cranberries.
I haven't posted in awhile (hell, I haven't cooked in awhile), it's a busy time of the year for me. Lots of birthdays and graduations coming up (more cake pics coming soon!), not to mention I'm trying to get my spring yardwork and gardening done! Soil amending, planning, planting yadda yadda yadda. Today I felt like stretching my culinary legs so to speak, and try out some recipes that my buddies have posted.
Anywho, I decided I wanted to finally make a tzatziki sauce. Of course, what I really wanted was gyros; Pita bread, shaved lamb, onions, tomatoes, creamy tzatziki sauce....the whole nine yards. YUM! I've been craving them for so long. I would have loved to try my pal Shane's version of gyros, in fact, I had purchased the Greek yogurt and cucumbers, but I totally spaced getting lamb the last grocery store trip and well, I was too lazy to go back to the store today. Then I remembered one of my other buddies, Spryte, had posted a recipe awhile back for turkey burgers with tzatziki sauce. I was out of a couple of ingredients, but able to find suitable substitutes. (I would have much rather used fresh dill, fresh lemons and added the mint) So after picking both their brains, my modified version of sauce didn't turn out half bad. In fact, dinner was quite "awesome and A-ma-zing" according to my teenage daughter and her friend. (thanks Jess and Kelsey!) ;)
Here are my version of the recipes:
- Crumble sausage and turkey into a large bowl. Add bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Quickly and gently toss together.
- In a separate bowl, mix together water, eggs, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over meat mixture and gently, but thoroughly, mix with hands.
- Using a 1 oz scoop or tablespoon, roll into equal size balls and place on prepared baking sheets spacing about ½-1 inch apart.
- Bake at 375° F for about 15 minutes. Rotate pans on oven racks and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Allow to cool and place in zip lock baggies.
- You may refrigerate for a couple of days until ready to use or freeze for up to 6 months.
Tzatziki Sauce
2 C greek yogurt, strained
2 Tbsp olive oil
- Strain yogurt in a fine mesh strainer fitted over a bowl for at least 6 hours in the refrigerator, or over night. This will remove any excess liquid.
- When ready to make the
Tzatziki, place finely chopped cucumbers into a fine mesh strainer, lightly
salt and allow to drain.
Combine drained yogurt, olive oil, garlic, onion, dill and chives; mix well. Mix in cucumber and season with garlic salt and pepper. Chill for at least two hours before serving. - Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill just before serving.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rosie, a Kettering Labrador Retriever/Basset Hound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Basset Hound for sale in Kettering, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Basset Hound dog from a breeder in Kettering.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Kettering already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Kettering breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Basset Hound breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Basset Hound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Kettering paves the way for another one to be saved.
