"Whatever happens:
With W&H you are always prepared!"
"Whatever happens: With W&H you are always prepared!" - a large number of visitors followed this invitation and found out about the new W&H product innovations on the W&H stand. The trade fair visitors were particularly impressed with the new Synea generation with the sterilizable Penta LED+ as a global first. The Assistina 3x3 for instrument preparation was also presented for the first time, as well as Piezomed for bone surgery.
Not only as a result of new products in almost all application areas was the W&H exhibition stand also a centre of attraction for many visitors this time around. Presentations and live demonstrations on the topics of hygiene standards, intraosseous anaesthesia or Piezomed astonished our guests, as did our life-size image models. We would like to thank our guests for the positive feedback, the interesting conversations and we wish every success with the new W&H products.
Get an overview of all the new W&H products and a review with pictures of the W&H exhibition stand at the IDS. Enjoy experiencing the IDS innovations.
World first: Penta LED+
Synea Vision is the new exclusive instrument series full of innovations: With the new 5x LED ring (Penta LED+) from W&H in the Synea Vision turbines, for the first time it is now possible to achieve 100% shadow-free illumination, as the preparation site is not only illuminated from the mesial, but at the same time from buccal, distal and lingual/palatinal sides. Synea Vision – clearly a step ahead of the future.
Assistina 3x3 – the crowd puller.
The new Assistina 3x3 met with great approval. The fully automatic cleaning and maintenance unit for dental handpieces sets new standards in hygiene and care and is an optimal unit for internal and external cleaning and for lubrication of turbines, straight and contra-angle handpieces. With the subsequent rapid cycle sterilization in the Lisa autoclave, the instruments are available again after just 20 minutes in total: cleaned, cared for and sterilized.
Assistina 3x3"Unbelievable - the new Piezomed cuts through bone like butter"
Dr. Ulrich Fürst, dentist specializing in oral surgery, is enthusiastic about Piezomed. It is extremely powerful and yet gentle on soft tissue. With the automatic instrument detection, W&H has also achieved another world first: as soon as an instrument is inserted, Piezomed automatically detects the instrument and assigns the correct power class to it.
PiezomedNew access angle for surgical applications.
The new WS-91 and WS-91 LG high-speed surgical contra-angle handpieces feature a 45° angle head. They allow completely new, considerably better access to hard-to-reach operating areas such as in cases of wisdom tooth extraction or apical resection. The new surgical straight and contra-angle handpieces from W&H are also impressive in terms of durability, ergonomics and robustness.
surgical contra-angle handpieceSterilization in record time
Lisa 500 sterilizers offer made-to-measure automatic type B cycles and now also the option of rapid sterilization of unpacked instruments. Unpacked solid instruments and also turbines and straight and contra-angle handpieces can be removed fully dried from the Lisa autoclave after just 14 minutes with the rapid programme. This means huge time savings for every dental practice.

First-annual Foreskin Pride March planned in Vancouver
WithPride Week under way, a Vancouver group opposed to male circumcision is planning to raise awareness about the issue of surgically modifying children's genitals.
The first-annual Foreskin Pride March takes place this weekend with related activities at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Sunset Beach, and elsewhere in the city.
Organized by the Canadian Foreskin Awareness Project, the events include protests, educational demonstrations, and participation in the Vancouver Pride Parade.
Glen Callender, founder of the Canadian Foreskin Awareness Project, said progress is being made on the issue of child circumcision.
"Circumcision rates in Canada have dropped considerably," he told the Straight by phone. "This is because, increasingly, Canadian parents know that circumcision of healthy babies is unnecessary, it's harmful, and it's unethical."
Callender said girls are protected from unwanted genital surgery or modification under the Criminal Code, but boys and intersex children are not.
"Some people do call the genital autonomy movement or anti-infant circumcision movement radical, but we're not," he said. "We're just asking for exactly the same rights girls have to be applied to boys and intersex kids as well."
Events planned for the Foreskin Pride March start on Saturday (August 4) at noon with protests outside a private clinic on West Broadway that provides circumcisions and at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. location in downtown Vancouver.
Also on Saturday, a rally is planned at the Vancouver Art Gallery at 3 p.m. and an adults-only education session on foreskin is planned at Qmunity queer resource centre at Bute Street and Davie Street at 7 p.m.
On Sunday (August 5) at 11 a.m., an adults-only "live foreskin demonstration" booth is to be set up at Sunset Beach Pride Festival. At noon on Sunday, a marching contingent is to take part in the Vancouver Pride Parade.
"This is an attempt on our part to start a new movement within the Pride movement, much like the dyke marches and the trans marches and other fixtures that you see routinely at Pride," Callender said.
"We are hoping that as consciousness of the issue of genital autonomy and the rights of children become more mainstream that this will grow and grow and grow."
Quite frankly, what this group is doing is shameful. It's piggybacking on real issues with the most trivial nonsense imaginable. Honestly, we don't care about your fucking penises, dudes.
Also, why don't foreskin advocates wear pants?
CFAP...see fap! Truth in acronyms!
If you could put your privilege aside for even one second, you would see how offensive this is.
Also: not a man-hating lesbian. I love that that's the immediate assumption. But, it's cool. I know you guys won't never be able to see past the ends of your noses and realize that your actions are incredibly offensive.
I'm Glen Callender, founder of the Canadian Foreskin Awareness Project (CAN-FAP) and the organizer of FORESKIN PRIDE. Thanks for telling our community that calling for the protection of male and intersex genitals from forced amputative surgery (exactly like the genitals of girls already are protected) is beneath contempt... at an event dedicated to ending sexual discrimination, of all places!
Since 2010, the organizers of Vancouver Pride, not to mention the 12 other Prides we've staged events at in Canada and the USA, have been delighted to have us. Why? Because THEY get it.
Circumcision removes more than half the nerves of the penis and the most sensitive parts of the penis--including parts that can achieve orgasm independently of the rest of the penis--yet you trivialize this horrific invasion of a defenseless child's sexuality (did you watch the circumcision video above?) by dismissing the foreskin as "a tiny scrap of penis". The foreskin IS a big deal, NCBY. Educate yourself.
Foreskin Pride isn't trivializing anything—we are bringing attention to one of humanity's most ancient forms of sexual discrimination and sexual abuse. If a girl has a human right to keep all of her sex organs, so does a boy, and so does an intersex child. Human rights aren't for one gender or another, they are for EVERYONE. That is why we call them HUMAN rights. This is an issue of basic human rights and basic equality, and your vicious tirade against this perfectly reasonable point of view shows that you are deeply threatened by what we are doing. And to that I say: Good! Welcome to the 21st century.
To everyone else: If you support the right of ALL children to grow up with intact genitals and decide for themselves if they want any of their sex organs cut off, join us this weekend! Visit the Canadian Foreskin Awareness Project website to learn more. http://can-fap.net
Removing foreskin is abuse. Its totally primitive, abusive and barbaric.
First - you're an idiot. Just because you don't think it's important, does not mean it is not an issue. In fact - it is on par with LGBT issues, because it's about human rights.
Second - that tiny scrap of penis skin you so detest is a big deal. It has been compared to cutting of your clit without permission in light of the difference in sexual satisfaction by those who have had the procedure done later in life. I am gay and I wish i still had one. I happen to like uncut dicks.
Well @no body cares? I like you. Why don't you like me? Is it because I have the real thing and you have to run with a strap on?
I know a guy who almost lost his pecker at 18 because of infection to his uncircumsized pecker. He's a believer in circumcision...now.

Feeling lost.
Because the moment that crazy dream left the space in my head and went to live in the space that is this blog and the real world, I was struck with just how crazy it is. Me. With no formal training in art, design, fashion, or sewing. Me, with nothing but a love for dolls and a possible talent for designing them. Me, with a pretty poor history of following through with dreams.
And yes, I know that the purpose of declaring my dream was to honor it, and not necessarily go right out and conquer it. To put it out there as a sort of symbol of the kind of work I'm meant to do -- to come up with cool ideas and to work with other, specialized people to bring these ideas to life. But because I have a whole lot of Really Mean Voices in my head, I started to tell myself how laughable it really was and how I had no business even having such a dream. And that I'd better find something else to do.
And then... I felt like I was wandering around in a fog, trying to find a purpose in life. And it hurt a whole lot, because that purpose (see above) was right there! Waving its little arms around and yelling at me to please, please stop pretending it didn't exist.
I've got to say, I'm really tired of this lost feeling. I'm realizing that sinking into the fog is way worse, and way less productive, than trying to make a go of something that might be impossible, or at least, will take a lot of work and strategic planning to move towards.
I'm also wondering if some of the lost feeling is tied to taking the dream so literally, or setting such a huge expectation on myself when I'm still struggling to find even a scrap of confidence. Big Crazy Dreams can be wonderful unless you're like me, and you use them to torture yourself. Then they can be a form of self-sabotage. Kind of like when I write myself a to-do list, and I make it so long I end up curling up on the couch and whimpering all day.
I've had a lot of dreams, and I always seem to get stuck at this point. Torturing myself by waving these huge expectations over my head, and giving myself panic attacks by demanding I meet them in a short amount of time. If I'm right about this, the way out is to have more realistic expectations of myself.
And that can be a form of copping out and settling for less, if I don't take the things I really want into consideration. I'm sure we've all had that mean teacher, family member, co-worker, or frenemy who's told us we'll never make it in fashion design, and that we should look into pole dancing instead (I exaggerate, but this is how those suggestions always sound to me).
What I really want is to make cool stuff. I want to give dolls the place they deserve in my life, and to do that by making cool stuff for/involving them. I'd like to make some money at it, even if I don't become rich or famous. And I'd like some help on the tougher stuff, like learning to sew and follow the patterns I make. And you know what? I see people doing that. Just working for themselves, selling cool things. Learning what they need to learn. And it doesn't feel like settling to me -- it sounds awesome.
(As long as I still have time to pursue different dreams that are just as important to me. More on that later!)
So I guess the moral of the story is that my Real Dream is to be a designer for myself. And maybe to collaborate with other designers on projects -- because for all my lack of sewing knowledge, I can bead the heck out of anything, I have an eye for itty bitty detail, and I've been told my color sense is not too shabby.
And my next step? Is to play with fabric. Just play. See what kinds of shapes and effects I can create with satin, with knits, with cotton, with hand-painted fabric. It takes the seriousness out of the process and focuses on my strength -- experimenting.
Now it's your turn: Do you have a Big Crazy Dream? What's happening with it? Is it in tune with what you really want, and what you can handle emotionally, or does it need some tweaking? I'd love to hear from you.
Sequintastically yours,
Sarah J. Sequins

Oh man, I feel this way every January when I go to set my goals for the year. "Who do you think you are?" "What makes you think you can do this?" "You didn't follow through last time." Well, that last one isn't always correct, so as soon as I find a chink in the mean voice's armor, I tell it to go pound sand!
ReplyDeleteOh, honey, do I hear you. I'm between (real) jobs right now, and while I initially saw it as a chance to redefine myself and start a new career path, I have run into my share of brick walls. It's hard to redefine yourself after twenty(mumble mumble) years on one professional path. It's even harder for others to redefine you in their own minds. So yeah, I understand that frustration, that fear, that self-doubt. I'm pushing myself into the deep end tonight, taking the first class in a certification program that I keep seeing as a requirement for jobs that look interesting. It may be the greatest thing since sliced bread, or it might be as appealing as a big ol' pile of overcooked cabbage. We'll see...I'll keep you posted, you keep me posted, and we'll hold each other's cyber hands as we figure out what we want to be when we grow up, okay?

The first episode of Telltale's brilliant point-and-click horror, The Walking Dead, has released on iPhone and iPad.
The game is based on The Walking Dead comic series - not the TV show - and has players working to survive the zombie apocalypse in a unique episodic experience in which every action and decision they make affects the outcome of each chapter.
It's slow-paced, point-and-click-style gameplay should lend itself perfectly to a touch screen device, and it's comic-book visual style will look brilliant on those portable screens, too.
The iOS version is only compatible with iPhone 4 or newer, and iPad 2 or newer. The first episode is $4.99 on iTunes.
Console and PC players are currently awaiting the release of Episode 3.

Influence of Crop Density and Weeding Frequency on Crop Growth and Grain Yield in Wheat
M. I., Tariful and A. K., Emran and M. A., Gaffer (1998) Influence of Crop Density and Weeding Frequency on Crop Growth and Grain Yield in Wheat. Pertanika Journal of Tropical Agricultural Science, 21 (2). pp. 123-128. ISSN 1511-3701
2935Kb |
Influence of seed rates at 100, 125, 150 and 175 kg/ha and four weeding frequencies Wo (no weeding), Wi (weeding after 20 days of sowing), W2 (weeding after 20 and 40 days of sowing) and (weeding after 20, 40 and 60 days of sowing) on growth and yield of wheat were studied. The major weeds species were Chenopodium album L., Cynodon dactylon (L) Pers, Dactyloctenium aegyptium L. and Vicia sativa L. The highest grain yield per hectare, panicle length, and filled grains/panicle were obtained with the seeding rate of 125 kg/ha. The lowest grain yield (3.11 t/ha) with minimum effective tillers/plant, panicle length and filled grains/panicle were produced by the highest seed rate (175 kg/ha). The plant population per meter square was significantly influenced by seed rates. Weeding at 20 and 40 days after sowing (W) gave the highest grain and straw yields along with highest effective tillers/plant, panicle length, and filled grains/panicle. On the other hand no weeding treatment gave the lowest grain and straw yields, effective tillers/plant, panicle length and filled grains/panicle. The critical period of weed competition was between 20 and 40 days after sowing. High seed rate with three times weeding (W) decreased weed dry weight/m2 significantly.

Simberi is the northern most island in the Tabar group of islands in the province of New Ireland - the eastern most province of Papua New Guinea (PNG) some 900 kilometres from the capital of PNG, Port Moresby. Most of the island's coast is steep (up to 300 metres in elevation) and surrounded by a fringing reef and deep plunging seawalls given the island's volcanic origins. Rainfall is high throughout the year with a not so distinct wetter period from October through to April. Mean annual rainfall is 3 meters with monthly totals varying from 30mm to 600mm.
It is home to about 900 islander locals, who speak a common language, Mandara, and share the same cultural ties and beliefs across the island chain. Many speak English and Pidgin. The Tabar island clans are traditionally matrilineal.
Access to Simberi is via a three hour charter flight from Port Moresby. Charter flights also stop at Kavieng (the capital of New Ireland province) and at Rabaul (in New Britain province). The 1400 metre airstrip is adjacent to the Piking Plantation some 3km from the process plant whilst a cargo vessel, the "Lady Geraldine", provides supplies to Simberi at the 20metre long concrete wharf at Pigiput Bay. Fly-in fly-out staff and contractors stay at the 250-bed Pigiput camp.
There is evidence of very limited alluvial gold workings, probably dating from the 1920s, near the Matanabol Creek on Simberi. In 1982 Kennecott (later acquired by Rio Tinto), Nord Resources and Niugini Mining formed the Tabar JV to explore for gold on Simberi. In 1993 Nord acquired all the interests and undertook exploration and in 1996 commissioned a feasibility study which led to the grant of a Mining Lease (ML 126) in December 1996. As gold prices fell in 1997 the project was put on hold.
Allied Gold became involved in 2004 and reinstituted a feasibility study and by 2006 mine and mill construction commenced. In November 2007 mining operations began at the Samat East deposit and the first ore was processed in February 2008. Allied was acquired by St Barbara in September 2012.
Current mining activities are restricted to the eastern half of the island covered by a 2,560 hectare Mining Lease (ML136). Ore at Simberi is sourced from seven currently defined open pits: Sorowar, Samat North, Samat South, Samat East, Pigput, Pigibo, and Botlu South. The Sorowar Pit is currently the largest defined oxide pit. The stripping ratio for the first few years was less than 1:1 with 'free dig' bulk mining using traditional truck and shovel. Current mining plans of the oxide cap suggest a strip ratio of 1:1 for the foreseeable future. Ore from the pit is delivered to the ROM pad (Sorowar feeder) where it is crushed and conveyed down an innovative and energy-efficient 2.7 km rope conveyor that transports the ore to a stockpile in front of the process plant.
Processing involves a traditional Carbon in Leach (CIL) process with five CIL tanks. The plant underwent a 'debottlenecking' program in 2010 to lift mill throughput to 2.4 Mtpa. During late 2013 the plant capacity was expanded to 3.5 Mtpa with installation of a SAG mill to lift gold output over time towards a run rate of 100,000 ozpa.
Power is generated on-site. This is scheduled to transition from diesel to heavy fuel oil during 2014.
Sulphide Study
Below the oxide pits on Simberi is a significant sulphide ore resource. In November 2010 a prefeasibility outlined the options for a 1.5 Mtpa sulphide circuit. A future study is planned to examine potential expansion of the plant to allow processing of sulphide material.

Today marks week 8 and, finally, the week that ended my plateau! Yeah!! The scale started moving again!
I heard a story on NPR yesterday that really has been stuck in my mind. Baghdad NPR staff member Saleem Amer told listeners about how he and his wife were preparing to have a baby in war-torn Baghdad. I believe Saleem's family was Shiite. There were two hospitals, but the best, closest and most practical to them was a Sunni hospital. (I could have this reversed -- I have an awful memory).
In any case, they chose the Sunni hospital. Now, when he said hospital, it's not what you think. They have to bring their own water, blankets, pain medications, space heaters, etc. Even someone from the family has to be with the patient at all times to administer their care. Saleem's wife was scheduled for a C-section. So, I guess the doctors cut, deliver and close -- the family does the rest.
What made this day the best and worst in Saleem's life was information the nurse shared with him. She told himthat the malitia comes to the hospital every night checking for Shiites, who when found were killed. Saleem didn't want to leave his wife and (at the moment) unborn child. The baby, named Yousef, was finally born. Saleem was filled with the glory that only a new parent could fathom. That moment you meet your child for the first time is just beyond description, so I won't even try.
Of course Saleem was torn as to what to do; stay in the hospital with his family or leave with his brother. His family encouraged him to go and be safe. After the birth of Yousef, Saleem could not leave his family. In the end he bribed the nurse and their names were removed from the list of those in the hospital. Saleem barely slept through the night, but they made it through and the nurse kept her promise to them.
Knowing that kind of pressure just escapes me. The closest thing to that kind of fear I've ever experienced was when the doctors though my Daughter had neuroblastoma when she was 4 months old. Both my husband and I would have nights when we'd just lay in bed crying, for fear of the unknown. We spent 2 or 3 days in the hoptial with her to have tests run; it was the most harrowing experience of my life. Just hearing Saleem's story brought a wave of fear back over me. Of course the situations are different, but it prompted my feelings nontheless.
It reminds me how blessed we really are.

Trying to recuperate from an injury I didn't know I had, I've spent a lot of time moving from bed to couch to chair to bed to… well, you get the idea. I have the dueling problem of torn muscles in my hip which makes it hard to stand and an injured tailbone which makes it hard to sit. To sit… to stand… to lay?
It's made me think about dueling desires I have as a performer to be true to myself vs actually making a living. Which made me think about dueling banjos, which made me remember this clip, which is an amalgam of some of the things I like the most: accoustic stringed instruments, Steve Martin and the Muppets. Watch:
Oh how could you not love it? I loved The Muppets so much during the heyday of their TV show. If you've never seen it, you have missed some of the best TV ever. It debuted in 1977 (can that be possible?) and ran until 1981, but reruns continued for some years. Jim Henson and Frank Oz created some of the most memorable characters ever, with Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Animal, and Gonzo among others. Guests included Pearl Bailey, Carol Burnett, Johnny Cash, Bob Hope, Elton John, Liberace, Roy Rogers & Dale Evans, Sylvester Stallone and Raquel Welch among many, many others.
The Muppets became famous on Sesame Street, of course, but muppets were seen earlier, most notably Rowlf the Dog on the Jimmy Dean Show in the 60s. If you don't want to watch the opening set, forward through the first minute: As a little girl I used to watch it with my fingers crossed saying "Please let Rowlf be on!"
My early and continued love of the Muppets has helped me remember through the lean times as a performer that puppets are magical. Blogger Jill Tooley says that from Sesame Street she learned things like "don't be afraid to be yourself", "rely on your trusted colleagues" and "remember your manners". Amen to that, sister.
Most of all I like to remember, when pulled in different ways to try to market more effectively or become a little more "edgy" or add more techno-wizardry to a show that it was Jim Henson who said "Simple Is Good" .
I've learned to use my ipod, to build a website, to blog and to send emails, but when it comes to my performing, I think it will always be just me and a stage and a roomful (or handful) of laughing children and a puppet.
What could be better?

Calling All Blog Donors
Lance Mannion, his face to the wind and the bill of his captain's cap tipped to shield his eyes from sea spray, will be liveblogging tonight's edition of Studio 60 on Aaron Sorkin's Sunset Script, hosting a virtual house party for the remaining Studio 60 holdouts. Given Lance's generosity, not to mention his masochism for enduring yet another punishing bout of snippety dialogue from Sarah Paulson and company, you might want to show some appreciation by giving his tip jar a nice dink.
And while you're feeling fellow-spirited, consider making an offering to the needy coffers of the valiant and beleaguered Arthur Silber, and help lighten his valley of woes. He has a post up today showcased at Antiwar about ideological bombardier Joshua Muravchik, who, like Norman Podhoretz, has Iran in his hairy sites:
More than half a year later, as the immoral and criminal occupation of Iraq worsens by the hour, and as things fall apart throughout the Middle East -- in largest part as the direct result of the infernal meddling by the United States, a course of action which has never ceased since World War II -- one might think Muravchik would feel a bit chastened. Perhaps he might even entertain a few second thoughts -- only very gingerly and with extraordinary reluctance, to be sure, but perhaps, just perhaps, he might consider questioning the previously unchallenged and unchallengeable axioms which have supported his worldview.You might think all of that. You would, of course, be wrong. We have long resided in Backwards World, where failure necessitates that one cling to precisely those policy prescriptions that have resulted in disaster with ever greater ferocity. The greater the failure, the more stubbornly one must refuse to reexamine even the smallest particle of the tiniest notion of the most minuscule principle that has brought one closer to the most dangerous precipice of all. Even that is not enough: one must significantly enlarge the scope of one's actions -- precisely those actions that have already resulted in widespread calamity, and the murder of over half a million innocent human beings.
In Backwards World, none of this is our fault or our responsibility in even a microscopic degree. This is a longstanding principle of neoconservative thought...
Always remember the primary [warhawk] principle: Nothing is ever our fault. They made us do it.
Continuing the same theme at Antiwar, Justin Raimondo sounds the alarm over the latest legislative machinations of "Tom Lantos, Warmonger," and what they may portend:
While the American people pine for peace, our leaders are intent on war: that's the anomaly of American "democracy," one that speaks ill of the effort to export our system at gunpoint. Adopt "democracy," and you, too, can be ruled by a warmongering oligarchy.Americans oppose an attack on Iran 2-to-1. By almost every measure, they want negotiations, rather than confrontation, with Tehran. Yet the House Foreign Affairs Committee recently gave its approval to a bill that, in effect, would fire the first shot at the Iranians, imposing draconian sanctions similar to those enacted against Iraq in the run-up to the invasion and occupation of that country. Similarly, this new sanctions regime sets the stage for the coming war with Iran.
The Iran Counter-Proliferation Act [.pdf], so-called, doesn't bother targeting goods and services that Iran might put to military use. Instead, it takes a broad-brush approach and openly seeks to strangle Iran economically. The legislation, written by champion warmonger Tom Lantos, would prohibit the import of any and all items from Iran, ban dealings with Iranian banks, stop the export of items having to do with civil aviation, and ratchet up the pressure on other countries to impose similar restrictions. Furthermore, Lantos wants a report from the White House every six months on the "progress" being made to tighten the chokehold on Iran.
Looking at this from the Iranian side, it is clearly an act of war, especially in the context of the Iran Freedom and Support Act, which provided millions to fund "regime change" in the land of the mullahs The Lantos bill is a naked provocation that stops just short of an all-out attack - and paves the way for military action, in spite of a proviso that reads "Nothing in this Act shall be construed as authorizing the use of force or the use of the United States Armed Forces against Iran." Having already declared our intention to bring down the regime by funding opposition groups, this latest vow by the U.S. Congress to destroy the Iranian economy is the equivalent of the Wicked Witch of the West skywriting "Surrender Dorothy" in the skies above Tehran.
Tilting at scarecrows such as Ann Coulter diverts us from the wheels of war that are being set into motion.

How to Untethered Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S
Untethered Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S now has been released. Today we have got excellent news that we have new jailbreaking Team that has been created and that is after pod2g the genius iPhone hacker who developed the Jailbreak 5.0.1 Untethered has announced that the hacker Planetbeing, MuscleNerd, and P0sixninja have joined their powers to release the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 untethered jailbreak iOS 5.0.1.
He revealed that the exploit he had used to perform the untethered jailbreak relied on a developer account so it can't be released publicly.
He has just revealed in a blog post titled "Sandbox difficulties" that other members of the jailbreak community such as MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev team and planetbeing who had ported Android to iPhone, have joined him to figure out a way to release the untethered jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 users.
pod2g has stated that on his blog:
"@planetbeing, the legendary hacker behind iPhone Linux and lot of jailbreaks has joined the A5 research!
The famous @MuscleNerd , the leader of the iPhone Dev Team, who did a lot of tests for Corona and whom integrated it and made it simple in redsn0w is willing to help also.
And last, but not least @p0sixninja , the leader of the Chronic Dev Team, and my partner for years on iPhone security research has started to code and fuzz the Apple sandbox.
We now have a dream team to find a path for a public release of the A5 jailbreak."
Now, after this team was created, we sure that the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 untethered jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 will be official released very soon. Thanks for pod2g and his team for their efforts.
Earlier yesterday, the popular legendary iPhone hacker pod2g teased the untethered iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S by showing a video demo on iPhone 4S device. In the previous blog post, he said "Only a few to wait now".
Let's hope they figure out a way to perform an untethered jailbreak on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S that can be publicly distributed.

Hello - We're in the process of installing outdoor lighting in the front of our house (see two pictures). We want to accent the two front stone areas (left and right side of the house). However, I'm at a loss what to do by the front center area (right and left of front door) - particularly, in front of the large window on the right. We installed a light on the left side between the two windows, but the area where the one large window on the right looks bare. We're also doing two small path lights on the stairs to the door, but this won't affect the front area in question (I don't believe).
Also, what is best: Well lights or Spot Light? TIA!!! |

Racers fly over the European-style road course, whipping past red-and-black boundaries as they maneuver in and out of the turns and straightaways. While they jockey for position and widen the gap between them and the competition, they listen to the race coverage on their radio helmets, striving to improve on their last lap time by cracking a whip over their engines until they gallop up to 40 miles per hour. This is the Andretti Challenge, one of five go-kart tracks within the six-acre Andretti Thrill Park.
The park?s attractions span amusements for nearly every age, from tyke-friendly fun on Rookie Row to single and double karts on the Super Speedway. The park also encompasses nonmotorized fun, such as the Andretti Edge climbing wall, mini bowling, and a tokenless, card-based arcade. And as expected at any family amusement park, Andretti's staff includes a team dedicated to handling parties so that parents don't have to sneak into the park at midnight and power the arcade with their car battery. This scope and quality of entertainment earned Andretti Thrill Park the 2011, 2012, and 2013 Best of Melbourne Award: Amusement Parks from the US Commerce Association.
The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex celebrates the past, present, and future of space travel with educational exhibits and hands-on activities for visitors of all ages. And as a reminder that the history contained here is still being written, the center displays a countdown clock marking off the seconds until the next scheduled launch.
As a conglomerate of paintball facilities, Paintballtickets.com is a one-stop shop for weekend warriors seeking some chromatic outdoor combat. Partnering with fields across the country, the company helps players live out their battlefield fantasies, whether they're sneaking up on an enemy installation, executing tactic strategies, or painting Water Lilies on the chest of a charging opponent.
Skatetown USA entertains speedsters with a slick rink full of friction-less fun during open-skate sessions on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. Skaters can careen in the company of a partner or assemble a gaggle of friends, family members, or doppelgängers to perform choreographed rink routines. Family packages help to replenish energy spent on glissading across the floor or perfecting quadruple axel jumps with a hot pizza and slurpable sodas. Bask in retro glory with four-wheeled skates or for an additional fee, spring for a pair of speed skates or rug-cutting roller blades to ensure hummingbird-paced conga lines.
Plantation Pet Resort helps pets feel at home by giving them ample exercise and attention on 11 acres of grassy play space. Dogs bound into the day at 7:30 a.m., roaming in two shaded outdoor play yards—one for big dogs and one for small. A fenced grassy area provides plentiful space for energetic games of frisbee, fetch, and Pin the Tail on the Schnauzer. Canines barrel across turf and engage in friendly tussles for two hours as staff members give pets' heated and air-conditioned suites a thorough clean. Happily weary dogs are led back to their spacious accommodations for breakfast and a nap, returning outside four to five more times during the day for a half hour or more. At night, TVs, DVDs, and radios keep pets from missing the comforts of home and the antics of favorite talk-show hosts.
The only way to get into Gatorland is to walk straight into an alligator's toothy maw. The giant mouth provides entrance to 110 acres of marshy wildlife preserve––home to a vast ecosystem populated by thousands of alligators, crocodiles, and birds, including rare wading birds and four rare white alligators. Among these, more than 130 gators splash and lounge in the park's breeding marsh, which visitors can view safely from a three-story observation tower or while sitting on the shoulders of Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
Yet one of the biggest thrills of Gatorland is the reptile's raw power. Visitors can see this on full display during the Gator Jumparoo show, where alligators leap four to five feet out of the water to snag food directly from a trainer's hands, or during the Gator Wrestlin' Show, where a handler demonstrates survival skills. True thrill-seekers can even dangle over the breeding marsh while riding the 65-foot-tall Screamin' Gator Zip Line. And to experience the unsettling sensation of stumbling upon a swamp filled with alligators at night, the Night Shine takes participants deep into gator territory armed with only a flashlight and a few hot dogs.

I think the ability reads:
Using the Daredevil upgrade will result in a stress token and Boost might result in stress tokens as well. The only thing stress tokens will do to this ship is prevent red maneuvers. I don't think the A-Wing will have many red maneuvers anyway (probably the same number as a TIE fighter is my guess). The only issue is that Daredevil (and possibly boost) won't be available because it involves executing a red maneuver.

Fisher, Susannah and Surminski, Swenja (2012) The roles of public and private actors in the governance of adaptation: the case of agricultural insurance in India.

Climate change adaptation is an increasingly important field and will involve a range of actors from national governments to private companies, communities and households. There is a growing policy discourse supporting the involvement of the private sector in adaptation, however there is little empirical examination to show how the sector might be involved and how adaptation might be governed. This paper uses evidence from the field of risk governance and insurance and analytical frameworks from the wider governance literature to draw important findings for the governance of adaptation. We use the recently published Compendium of Disaster Risk Initiatives in the Developing World and a case study of agricultural insurance in India to argue that the role of the private sector is increasing but so far within a particular model of engagement. In the context of climate change, how the public-private relationships are constructed is key to how adaptation can be leveraged from such an arrangement. The evidence in this paper suggests that due to commercial viability and other concerns there will continue to be a role for the public sector alongside the private sector to ensure adaptation measures address vulnerability. In conclusion we argue that the type of relationship between the public and the private actors has a significant influence on the adaptation outcomes. The question is not purely about involving the private sector which is how this is currently framed within policy and academic work on adaptation, but how the private actors are engaged. . Governments seeking to engage private actors need to build those relationships with the desired adaptation outcomes in mind.

Culture Challenge of the Week: Growing up with Miley?
Miley Cyrus, who became famous as the wholesome TV character "Hannah Montana," is growing up. So what's the fuss?
At least that's pop star Justin Timberlake's take on Miley's sexually explicit dance routine during the recent MTV Video Music Awards show. "I like Miley. I like her a lot. I think, you know, she's young. She's letting everyone know that she's growing up."
This from the guy whose "growing up" included ripping off the front of Janet Jackson's camisole/bra to reveal her bare boob to millions watching the Super Bowl 2004 halftime show. To those who drive popular culture, does "growing up" (aka, becoming more mature) really mean being naked or simulating sex in front of the world? Evidently so.
In the music world of MTV and all the other branches of industry that make money from it, that kind of behavior also passes for "just entertainment." But parents whose daughters idolized the young star as Hannah were heartbroken. Moms and dads are seeking someone — anyone — in the entertainment world to hold up as role models for their daughters. As Miley stripped down on stage to a nude, skin-tight bikini and endlessly used her hands and other objects to direct attention toward her crotch, she, once again, reminded parents of the selfishness and greed that drives much of the entertainment industry: "It's all about making a buck, our children and their futures be damned."
Miley's new image is purposeful. Her own mother was stage-side to show her support, and her manager declared afterward, "It could not have gone better."
Also, Miley's performance was not much different from what the music industry's stars, Lady Gaga and Madonna, do on a regular basis.
That is what makes Miley's crass, sexualized routine so sad: "Growing up," at least for today's youths, is being defined by "role models" as sexual exhibitionism and sexualized behavior. Without parental guidance, many youths are adopting the trend.
The trouble is, dressing that way, behaving that way, doesn't work so well in real life.
On the daily stage of life, teenage girls sext their boyfriends because, well, that's what sexy grown-ups do, right? Sixteen-year-old girls, "comfortable with their bodies" and feeling sophisticated, wear short shorts with their bottoms hanging out and cleavage-baring tops to school in the name of "personal style." Sexed classes tell youths to have sex when they are "ready" (instead of when they are married), marking sexual behavior as a "coming of age" thing instead of a deep personal expression of love and lifetime commitment. Our children learn instead that "growing up" means, "You have the right to remind us that you have sex, and that you like it."
So Miley is all grown up. She's also incredibly "successful" and making millions of dollars off of her irresponsible behavior. Miley's just another desperate "star," so caught up in her obsession with self, that she is willing to use our sons and daughters to line her pockets and further corrode American culture. Her tawdry sexual display was the talk of Twitter and the morning shows, and her new "brand" is garnering tons of attention around the world and a lot of cash.
How to save your family: Define 'maturity' and 'success'
Parents, don't let your children grow up to be Miley.
I know, you're probably not worried that your daughter's lip-syncing will bring the talent scouts knocking. But you should be worried that your sons and daughters will be vulnerable to the "Miley messages" about maturity and success.
Maturity doesn't mean the ability to do "adult" things; it's a reflection of becoming an adult "on the inside." Maturity requires the long-term view and prioritizes according to life's enduring realities. It depends on character traits that form the authentic foundation for adulthood: responsibility, respect, kindness, deliberation, prudence, honor and self-discipline.
What Miley doesn't realize is that "growing up" is not a function of age or exposure to adult things. Maturity is something acquired along the way, as we build character and orient our lives toward the things that last. That's why it's equally important that our children understand what real success looks like.
Success is not money, power, status — or having millions of fans. Success means living a good life, in light of eternal realities, and being the "best" at what God calls us to be as we strive to love God and people above all else.

Avid Cruiser Voyages: Expedition Antarctica
For many, a voyage to Antarctica is the crown jewel of the expedition cruising world. The ultimate adventure, a voyage to the Southernmost Continent is a veritable rite of passage within the cruising world, and representative of what may very well be one of the least-visited places on earth. Read a day-by-day account of Ralph… [Read More]
Avid Cruiser Voyages: South Africa's Eastern Coast
South Africa is a destination that inspires wonder and amazement.

Avid Cruiser Voyages: Asia
An up and coming cruise destination is the subject of this week's installment of Avid Cruiser Voyages. Asia is perhaps a poor descriptive of this expansive region, simply because so many cruise lines and travel agent booking sites tend to lump Asia cruises for itineraries visiting countries like Japan, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea,… [Read More]
Avid Cruiser Voyages: Australia Cruises
In a previous installment of Avid Cruiser Voyages, we wrote about the natural splendors that awaited cruisers in New Zealand. It's almost impossible, however, to talk about New Zealand without mentioning another country, equally as fascinating and diverse, located just a few days' cruise away. We're talking, of course, about the land Down Under –… [Read More]
Avid Cruiser Voyages: Baltic Cruises
Baltic cruises are among my favorite. From the opulent palaces of the Tsars in St. Petersburg to Stockholm's breathtaking harbor and Copenhagen's spectacular Tivoli Gardens, few cruising regions offer such diverse treasures as the Baltic. Best of all, most ships dock in the center of the cities and towns, allowing you to hop off and explore on your own. In many ways,… [Read More]

For some time ago the obvious fact that the coffee Zinzino distributes, Rombouts & Malongo, can be imported from Continental Europe to North Europe perfectly legal has been highlighted here on zinzinotruth. And for a while an operation like this has been run in Estonia. What is being offered is to get pass the hassle of ordering coffee yourself since Rombouts tries to cut all parallel streams of goods. You will need a few tricks in your sleeve to order the coffee yourself.
You can also order coffee to other Baltic and Nordic countries from kohvitellimus.ee. We have been sent word from a customer in Finland that it works fine. You can order both coffee and espresso machines cheaper than ordering from Zinzino.

"My son was asked to take cakes to share at his cub scout camp and I thought I'd try these - they were a big hit and I will definitely make them again. I didn't have enough butter so used oil and it worked fine, will try them with butter next time. Thanks!"
"Very nice! I found I needed to add quite a bit of milk to the batter as it was very stiff (this might not have been the recipe, could have been that I used slightly smaller eggs or whatever). I had no allspice and used mixed spice instead. Just realised the recipe calls for nuts and I think they'd be great but I had none - muffins still superb!"
"Really taste like doughnuts, well, like a very muffiny doughnut ( which is good!) will make these again!"
"I added a chopped green pepper I happened to have when I made this. It was a really tasty dish and I'd make it again, there's no need to cook anything else to go with it - though it is great with a simple green salad."

@letshearit - The judge your friend was dealing with sounded quite fair to me. I think that too many people with addictions really struggle with getting clean and their could be an entire probation department just dedicated to helping them.
Has anyone ever heard of creative probation? Can you think of some examples of it?
Creative probation is when the judge will come up with something a bit odd, but quite terrible in the case of something like a misdemeanor probation violation.
When my friend was in high school she got caught shoplifting and as part of her probation she wasn't allowed in the mall for a year and had to participate in teen workshops letting other teens know about the downsides of shoplifting. The embarrassment over the whole thing really scared her straight.

The Prostate Cancer Risk and Prevention Clinic is for patients at high risk for developing prostate cancer. Patients are determined to be at high risk based on family history, African-American ethnicity, an elevated level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), or a previous prostate biopsy that showed abnormalities, such as atypia or prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN).
When several members of a family have cancer, particularly at a young age, suspicions are raised about the possibility of inherited cancer-causing genes. This is called having a "genetic predisposition" for cancer.
In some families, genetic testing may identify altered cancer predisposition genes that are passed from parent to child. Genetic information may help some people learn if they have an increased likelihood of developing certain cancers or if inherited factors contribute to their own cancer. People at an increased risk for cancer may take steps to reduce their risk through regular screening and prevention strategies.
Our clinic is an extension of the UCSF Cancer Genetics and Prevention Program at Mount Zion.
The clinic's services include:
Certain criteria may indicate a higher risk for prostate cancer. For example, African-American men in general have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer than Caucasian men. Other criteria include:
