First Integrated Live Camera Solution with Uplink 'Start-and-Stop' Controlled
And Displayed on Camera
SECAUCUS, NJ (March 20, 2013) – Panasonic has introduced the proprietary AG-SFU603G firmware upgrade key, expanding the functionality of its AG-HPX600 P2 HD camcorder. The solution combines LiveU's live video uplink technology with groundbreaking Panasonic acquisition equipment to deliver the first available integrated live camera solution.
The AG-SFU603G upgrade key integrates LiveU's LU40i handheld live HD video solution with the HPX600. The expanded functionality can be activated via the firmware key after installation of the upgrade.
In addition to the standard SDI connection from the HPX600 that feeds video into the LU40i, the upgrade key provides additional communication between the HPX600 and the LiveU device by activating a USB communication interface. This USB connectivity allows the LU40i's "start-and-stop" functionality to be controlled from the HPX600, and the device status to be displayed on the HPX600 viewfinder, so that a one-person crew can easily operate both camera and transmitter, and relay live video securely.
The AG-SFU603G firmware upgrade key is available at a suggested list price of $300.

Other, more interesting dim sum came by one at a time, and some were very good. But overall it was a rushed, pushy lunch, with decent, not noteworthy food. I'll take Hakkasan any day.

The Roxy Edge Of Camp Hoodie is the kind of subtly unique hoodie that will have people looking at you in admiration and at the same time not quite being able to put their finger on why. Is it the soft heathered poly/cotton material? Maybe it's the cool, loose hood. Or perhaps it could be the distinctive v-neck collar? Well, the truth is, it's all of those things in more. The Roxy Edge Of Camp Hoodie is that rare hoodie that is greater than the sum of its parts, and you'll look that much better for it.

someones forum the other day about getting too far into the gay scene and becoming just "the gay kid" got me thinking and when i read this in a book (its a bit random out of context but anyway) i thought id post it. it made me think.
"The Centipede Story"
"One day, a centipede is sitting in the garden minding her own business having a nice time in the sun when a worm comes along and starts chatting.
"My what a wonderfull set of legs you have" the worm says admiringly. "Goodness, dozens of them But tell me something, with all those legs, how do you work out which one to put forward first?"
The centipede is flummoxed. Its a queston she doesnt know the answer to and the more she thinks about it the more she cant find the answer and the more the more she cant find the answer the more she stays stuck, rooted to the spot. The question proves the death of her, for she never walks again." - from Crooked Angels by Carol Lee
Dont be a centipede, dont be the gay kid, be whatever you want to because you can. Be yourself.
That's exactly what I've realized about my past gay-centeredness.
Are you hanging on to something useless just because you think it's beautiful?

A Bit of a Blog Break
"On the road again…." — a great Willie Nelson tune. I'm going to be on the road, moving from the Dallas/Fort Worth area down to San Antonio, as my wife has a new job assignment for the next few years.
My blogging will be relatively light over the next few weeks. I'll have a podcast or two, some guest blog posts (contact me if you would like to submit one), and some updates about my upcoming book Healthcare Kaizen. I will probably also do some posts that are a collection of links to interesting things I've read, but with less commentary than usual.
Taking a bit of a break from the blog will allow me to focus on the important things related to this move. Thanks for your understanding.

Melting Brains with Chris and Chloe on "4 Points"
By Perry Michael Simon on June 20, 2012
Our pals Chris Hardwick and Chloe Dykstra join Alex Albrecht 'n' Alison Haislip for this week's edition of the Nerdist Channel's 4 Points with Alex Albrecht. The topics include melting brains, TV on tablets, the possibility of a real-life "touch of death", and pop bottle meth labs at Walmart. Separate stories.
Click here and subscribe to the Nerdist Channel so you and your melted brain don't miss a thing on your tablet while cooking meth in a bottle at Walmart. Whoops — left out the touch of death. Sorry.
I especially enjoyed the sounds of crickets at 09:42.
Goddammit, I've got to get back into this show. It's so good!
I must be an evolutionary throw-back, because I got goosebumps @ around 22:45 when it got real cold on the set.
No homemade C10 H15 N recipes from me, but it's fucking annoying to get carded for antihistamines now! Thanks tweakers!
I have the same t-shirt as Chris. Yesssssss.

Now, i have seen so many threads on diferent forums about this up from the moment tobi was known to the anime. I wanted to make a new thread about who tobi could be, basicly because im curious about him, and i wan't to know who he is before its released. No one knows who he is, right? So. . . to find out we can take away the people we know his not.
- Obito - no; We know that Tobi is not Obito! For those who still thinks that, im going to explain it to you. Obito is at kakashi's age, and kakashi and Obito was a part of Team Minato(Yondaime's genin team). We know Obito was observed while tons of rocks burried him, so he is most likely dead. And during the invading in Konohagakure, only a few months after he died(most likely), Tobi was fighting Minato. At that time, Kakashi and obito should only have been 12 years old(Think kakashi is 28 now in shippuden, 16 years after the invation). now, how can a 12 year old boy instantly get grownup? And there is so many more examples to look at!
- Tobirama Senju - High doubt; There are a few things they have in common, he is from the senju clan. As far as the manga has told, Tobi has Senju DNA in him. If he is from the Senju clan is a different story though. Rinnegan is only achieveable inside the Senju bloodline, and Tobi said after killing Konan that he was the one giving Nagato rinnegan. Also, Tobirama Senju was called Tobi. But he would be over 140 years old now if he was Tobimaru.
- Kagami uchiha - Possible? ; Kagami was one of the 3 in team Tobirama, along with danzò. During danzò's fight with sasuke, we could see how Tobi whished to kill him, and how he told about his munipilation inside the hidden leaf. If i recall right, he called him a trator to Konoha and uchiha(or something). Listen now people, Kagami means "Mirror". He calls himself "Tobi", what kagami's teacher called himself, he representent himself as a uchiha(but no one really knows if Tobi is an uchiha or not), he tells about how he is going to mirror the six path's powers, and recreate the moon to make piece in the shinobi world. Now at last, he announces that if the people wished to call him madara, he was madara. He represent himself as an mirror to what the other thinks he is.
Now, the last bit of "he being kagami theory" is something i feel strong about. I think Tobi is representing himself as an mirror. We should know by now that he knows EXTREAMLY much about madara, that dosent mean he has to BE madara. but maybe someone he stands close. In the end, as the naruto forums says... Madara was aware of Tobi's existance.
What i think is that Madara fought Hashirama and lost, but gained some of his DNA(that was what he told after being ressurected). And then he would escape and manage to obtain the rinnegan. He could then have offered his life to form the dominique statue to capture the tailed beasts, then formed a "vessle"(Tobi) who would have Madara's sharingan powers. Remember, Tobi's ability is a space-time ability, allowing him to travel so fast that it breaks the line of time. In this case, it would possibly mean he could travel so fast that time would stand still in his presense, while the world around would go around. That means in theory that Tobi never ages. Sounds like a perfect plan for madara to create piece.
Anyways guys, this was my thoughts of Tobi.

Pain (Patient)
IntroductionThis patient summary on pain is adapted from the summary written for health professionals by cancer experts. This and other credible information about cancer treatment, screening, prevention, supportive care, and ongoing clinical trials is available from the National Cancer Institute. Pain associated with cancer can be controlled in most patients but is frequently undertreated. This brief summary describes the management of cancer pain with the use of medication, physical methods, and psychological intervention. This summary is about pain in adults with cancer. OverviewCancer pain can be managed effectively in most patients with cancer or with a history of cancer. Although cancer pain cannot always be relieved completely, therapy can lessen pain in most patients. Pain management improves the patient's quality of life throughout all stages of the disease. Flexibility is important in managing cancer pain. As patients vary in diagnosis, stage of disease, responses to pain and treatments, and personal likes and dislikes, management of cancer pain must be individualized. Patients, their families, and their health care providers must work together closely to manage a patient's pain effectively. eMedicineHealth Public Information from the National Cancer Institute

NAPLES, Fla. - Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson quit the Republican presidential race today, after a string of poor finishes in early primary and caucus states.
"Today, I have withdrawn my candidacy for president of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort," Thompson said in a statement.
Thompson's fate was sealed last Saturday in the South Carolina primary, when he finished third in a state that he had said he needed to win.

When all of these push pollsters from all over the US finally figure out that the polls were closed and will STOP CALLING ME!!!
GO AWAY!!! I already made my comparisons of voting records, honesty, and sincerity months ago. I ALREADY VOTED!!!!!
I've already told off six that had real people on them. The recordings I just immediately hang up on.
If I wasn't already decided, being told who to vote for on election day would just torque me off so bad I'd vote for someone else. Anyone else.

Botulism takes fatal toll on thousands of Great Lakes birds By James Janega | Chicago Tribune reporter
The bird die-off was obvious as soon as Gary Rentrop and his English setter turned onto the Lake Michigan shore. The sugar-white sand, long buried in the crushed gray shells of invasive mussels and mats of rotting algae was now, suddenly, littered with dead birds.
"It was almost like a war zone of birds," said Rentrop, a Michigan lawyer who recalled his November stroll along a Michigan beach.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a much anticipated social searching tool called the Facebook Graph Search. The Facebook founder and CEO announced the Graph Search during a conference on Tuesday that was specially organized for launching of the mysterious tool. The Graph Search was kept undisclosed till the event and many speculations came from Social Media bloggers about what new Facebook is going to give to its billion users. Facebook team has been working on Graph Search for years.
So, what's Graph Search?
Graph Search, as the CEO explained, is a search tool that uses the existing Facebook Social Graph to let users explore photos, places, interests and what people are doing. For example, in the demo video, it's shown that by searching "Photos of my friends who live in New York" you will get a whole set of pictures of your friends living in New York. This is cool.
Is Graph Search a competitor to Google, Bing and other Search giants?
Not really. Mark Zuckerberg made it clear during the event that the Graph Search is not a web search tool. It will only search content from within Facebook Social Graph depending on what audience it is available for. Most features that have been disclosed till now need users to login to their Facebook account. Graph Search is more like an answering tool.
Does Social Graph kill privacy?
Facebook users have always been concerned about privacy of their content. Whenever a new feature is rolled out, the most hot topic revolves around "how that feature affects privacy of users". The search results will be available for friends, friends of friends and to the public depending on privacy settings of the content. However, there is also option to search for content from pages that would be available to all users.
How does Social Graph look like?
Facebook says:
"Graph Search will appear as a bigger search bar at the top of each page. When you start typing to search for something, it will make suggestions of searches you're looking to perform and once you select the search it will return results on a page that you can further customize and filter."
With the first big feature of 2013 rolling out on Facebook, users expect much more from the social networking giant. Let's hope Facebook gives us features that don't hurt much of users' privacy and expectations.

Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Our consumer testers liked the Hot Tools Salon Flat Iron, but there was no one area where this styling tool really shone. While styled hair felt somewhat smoother, it took a while to straighten, and frizzed under humid conditions. Our volunteers were happy with how quickly this model heated up and said it straightened effectively without drying out their hair, but there were other, less expensive models they liked better.

A few days ago Ford Harding received a unique email from a professional, Ivan Hernandez. It was unique and interesting because it was our firm's first and unsolicited YouTube video referencing his book, Rainmaking: Attract New Clients No Matter What Your Field. As I watched it for the first time I was so pleased for Ford that a virtual stranger would be so moved and inspired by the book's teachings. As I watched it the second time I chuckled at how this video, made much like those that I have of my kids at their birthday parties can capture my attention and entertain me in an odd way. As I watched it the third, and so far, last time, I recalled the business trend moving towards video and YouTube mentioned in a recent AMCF social media workshop that I attended with the who's who in consulting and led by gurus of McKinsey & Company and Bliss PR. I guess the world is moving beyond email, in concert with LinkedIn, with Twitter and towards YouTube? I needed more convincing, so I quickly searched the internet for data on YouTube to convince myself that YouTube has gone beyond being able to showcase music videos and personal teenage snip-its. It has.
I found a study by Burson-Marsteller that collected social media data from 100 of the largest Fortune 500 global companies. Here are some of their statistics: 50% of the Fortune Global 100 use YouTube to reach their audience. Of those, 68% posted 10 videos on YouTube in the past month. 69% of the Fortune Global 100 have YouTube Channels. What amazed me was the statistics on the channels! They tracked an average of 38,950 views per channel! 452 average subscribers per channel! And more than half of those with YouTube channels said they get comments from viewers!
That's inspired me to try an experiment and ask that anyone who is willing to step up to the plate as a YouTuber, share with us another point of view about the book or our Rainmaking programs please do so via a YouTube video and send it to me. My request has two purposes, first, it will help me answer the question, "Will sharing these videos with you make a difference for us?" We'll track it with metrics and share the results with you. Secondly I'm wading in to YouTube and would love to see a few more relevant ones before I do my own video clips in the market. Stay tuned for more on YouTube!
For those of you that are curious, here is the YouTube video that Ivan sent to Ford:

Comments about RUSTY SURFBOARDS SLAYER:
Great all around board. Works well in all sizes of surf, not just big waves. Lots of volume under the chest but still quick and snappy off of the back foot. You should probably order it 2" shorter than you think you need.

Susan Boyle has realised another of her life long ambitions, after meeting and performing for the Queen on Sunday.
The Scots singing sensation joined a host of stars, including Rolf Harris and Dame Helen Mirren, for the extra special Diamond Jubilee Pageant at Windsor Castle.
Susan performed Mull of Kintyre, complete with pipe band, before meeting the monarch backstage.
She told The Sun: "Another dream ticked off my wish list. To say it was an honour was an understatement.
"The best moment was meeting the Queen and Dame Helen Mirren, a memory I shall cherish."
The pageant featured performances from some of the Queen's favourite acts and spectacular horse shows, to celebrate her love of all things equestrian.
Speaking before the event, Simon Brooks Ward, the director of the pageant, said: "The Diamond Jubilee Pageant will reflect the truly global impact The Queen has had during her 60-year reign by bringing horses, people, music and their culture from around the world to join the party.
"When you think of all the State occasions The Queen has been involved with, horses have always been there. The Queen's passion for horses is one that the public recognise as her most treasured."
For Susan, the performance was the icing on the cake of a busy weekend, which also saw her wow on the Britain's Got Talent final, with a moving rendition of Madonna's You'll See.
Performing the queen of pop and meeting the Queen are just the latest achievements in a long list that Susan can look back on and be extremely proud of.
Since auditioning for Britain's Got Talent in 2009, she has gone on to enjoy global success, breaking musical records previously held by the Beatles, singing for the Pope and now she can add royalty to her long list of celebrity fans. Not bad for a church volunteer from Blackburn who came second on BGT.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Aaron Walters, a neuroscience major who graduated from Westminster College in May, published his senior thesis project in the Journal of Student Research.
"Exploration of the Hemispheric Differences in Number Processing of the Brain" examined how reaction time and accuracy differed in the left and right visual fields by altering various dot clusters in both number and organization. The findings indicated that different numerical judgment abilities do exist within hemispheres. Walters was advised by Dr. Sandra Webster, professor of psychology, and Dr. Alan Gittis, professor of neuroscience emeritus.
Walters also presented his research at the Eastern Psychological Association meetings in Pittsburgh in March, and the Westminster College Undergraduate Research and Arts Celebration in April.
He is a son of Michael and Jeanne Walters and a graduate of Oil City Area High School.

Cycling for cancer (and contacts)
PUBLISHED: 03 May 2012 15:30:00 | UPDATED: 03 May 2012 19:14:07PRINT EDITION: 02 May 2012Riding in the Tour de Cure is a chance to bond with c-level executives. Photo: Dean Osland

If you are driving along the Burnett Highway in Queensland this week and are waylaid by a pack of MAMILs (middle-aged men in lycra) with a few women, don't get road rage, it's likely the Tour de Cure.
The long-distance bike ride to raise money for cancer research and treatment is now in it's sixth year.
When we spoke yesterday afternoon, UXC Connect CFO Wayne Banks had skived off work early and was happy to be packing his bike into the car to go join the ride for the third time. In 2010 he rode the full tour from Sydney to Brisbane and again in 2011 from Sydney to Melbourne.
Banks is unable to ride the full 2012 tour, 1656 kilometres from Brisbane to Mission Beach, as he is recovering from a car accident with a truck in February and says he is envious of those who are.
However, he is strong enough to ride two days from Noosa to Hervey Bay. "That's 270 kilometres in two days, a mere 14 hours on the bike," he says.
Singtel Optus CFO Murray King, speaking from Sydney airport late yesterday, was disappointed he had to pull out of the ride altogether due to a last minute trip to Singapore, where Optus's parent, Singapore Telecommunications, is based. King has also participated for a number of years.
Riders also stop to visit primary school students along the way talking to them about prevention, healthy living and listen to their stories.
People from all walks of life participate in the ride. There is a minimum fund-raising obligation of $12,000 for those completing the full course or a pro-rata amount of $3500 for the two-day leg Banks is completing. This, combined with the desire of many of the corporate sponsors to get more media coverage through employee participation, attracts a c-level crowd, making it a business networking bonanza.s
"Sitting on a bike in a peloton of 250 riders, two abreast most of the time, riding along at about 30 kilometres per hour, is an excellent way to get to know people from other sectors," says King.
That's how he and Banks met during last year's ride and since then the two have kept in touch. It's not surprising the two have things in common to talk about considering they are "both CFOs in the ICT [information and communication technologies] industry that are into cycling", says Banks. This year Banks is riding with the Optus team.
Bankers will also be prominent in the peloton. UBS's David Kinsman, Rory Lucas, and Chris Williams are riding, having hit up colleagues and friends for $50,000, while David Curran is leading a team from the Commonwealth Bank, having raised almost $60,000.
There's a lot of talk about connectedness these days but the blunt difference between networking and socialising is that the former might land you a job one day.
While he couldn't name names, King confirms he knows of some Tour de Cure riders who have gone on to work with other rider's organisations.
Optus is a major event sponsor and a number of its employees participate.
The fund-raising and school visits "cover off the corporate social responsibility agenda in many ways" says King and great positive media coverage of the event, especially on Channel 7 due to Sunrise presenter Mark Berretta's participation makes it good value for the corporate sponsorship dollar.
"The event is about raising both money and awareness and this means leveraging networks as widely as possible," says King.
"It's not a race, but it is a competition," he says, "the competition between teams is not about cycling but raising money."
The fund-raising target for the ride is $2 million. At the time of publication the event website was reporting a total of $1,576,720.44 pledged.
Banks is still plugging for donations. "As a CFO I'm glad to let you know that all donations above $2 are tax deductible," he says.

I don't live in Fla, I am in the Chicago area. Gravity Hobby's warehouse is in Miami and products are manufactured in China. I never said anything was manufactured in the states, I said the company is managed in the states and run here in America. Did you think the Cox Warbirds were maunfactured in the states? Quote:
I understand you are mad at Cox for leaving you in the dark about the P-38 project, but don't toss your dirty laundry on me Joe. Furthermore, private PM's are just that, I believe there is a rule against posting private messages. I have chosen to take the high road, so I will not be posting the PMs you sent me. |

Some clarity
I am a REP for Gravity Hobby.
I do not run/own/make decisions for said company. As you all know, starting a new company takes time and the road is a bumpy one to say the least. We want you to have our products, but we have decided to run things wisely in this economy. All I can ask is for you guys to be patient. If you have a question, email me. If you don't get a response via the Gravity Hobby website, emai lme. I will personally find the answer or solve any issues. Matt Gravity Hobby |

OK fella's everything is sorted, now TEX how about kicking the I.T. guy in the backside and getting him to allow international visitors (read customers) access to the website. If you don't have the power, can you speak to someone who has, surely you Gravity don't want to exclude international customers (half the posts in this thread and the Cox Micro Warbird II thread are from people located outside the USA).
Perhaps if Gravity Hobby own these "cox warbirds - classic warbirds" they could find international dealers / distributors (locate one in Australia first please ... ) |

Thanks so much for staying in on the threads, I have seen many Vendor Reps bail after being chewed on harshly in the past. I think that speaks multitudes for integrity. Mr Lin (we all know who he is) is one thick skinned man in my opinion It's nice to see you following in the same vein. Chuck |

text: Subsequent to the 1930 Vocational Education Act, a technical school was opened in the Workhouse, Dunshaughlin in January 1933. Mr. Ciaran O' Connell was the headmaster and there were three other teachers. The subjects taught were Rural Science, Domestic Science, Woodwork, Irish, English, Mathematics, History and Geography. Rev. Fr. Murphy P.P Dunshaughlin gave religious Instruction weekly. Many of the boys obtained scholarships to Warrenstown Agricultural College and the girls availed of domestic science scholarships to St. Martha's College, Navan. Some girls went to train as nurses in England while the majority either remained in their own homes or went into domestic work. The boys took up positions as apprentice carpenters, building labourers, farm workers and gardeners or worked on their own farms. Night classes were also organised in Irish conversation, Irish dancing, Woodwork, Domestic Science and Rural Science. The average attendance in 1945 was 37 pupils in day classes and 30 in night classes. The school continued in the Workhouse, except for one year in the local courthouse 1950/51, until Mr. Sean Moylan, Minister of Education on 3rd October 1951, officially opened a new two room Vocational School. The attendance in 1951/52 was 38 day pupils. Mr. Gerard Commins was headmaster and there were three other teachers including Liam Carey who taught Woodwork and Drawing. Liam was to give many years sterling service to the school both as teacher and vice principal until his retirement in 1988. 1955/56 saw the school extended to four rooms. The attendance was 54 in that year. In November 1958 Mr. Commins became C.E.O in Co. Kildare V.E.C and his replacement was John Holland who had been headmaster in Nobber. John's remarkable 35 years as principal were to see a huge expansion in post primary education in Dunshaughlin 1960 - a metalwork room was built. 1966/67 Introduction of the Free Education Scheme and the Intermediate Certificate Course to Vocational Schools. The attendance was 76. 1967/68 The attendance jumped to 104 pupils and 2 prefabricated classrooms were built. 1968/69 3 further prefab classrooms were added to accommodate the attendance of 149. 1970/71 The Senior Cycle- Leaving Certificate was introduced. The attendance that year was 191 and one further prefab was built. Feb 1974 A Parent Teacher Association was formed and pressure put on the Department of Education through a number of meetings for the sanction of a Post-Primary School under the auspices of the Co. Meath V.E.C. 3/2/1974 Mr. John Bruton T.D. Minister of State for Education, announced at an Adult Education Seminar in Dunshaughlin that the Department of Education sanctioned the building of a 510 pupil Community type school, with the aid of World Bank Money. It was to be a 24-room school to accommodate 510 pupils and was to include a sports hall. The cost was in the region of .75 million pounds. Subsequently the building of the sports hall was shelved due to an embargo on such buildings for financial reasons. 1974/75 The further prefab classrooms were built to bring the number of prefabs to 12. The number of day pupils in the following year was 312. Sept 1977 A real landmark as students and teachers moved into the new building. 25/4/1978 Mr. James Tunney T.D. Minister of State for Education officially opened the new school on an 18-acre site. It was called a Community College to differentiate it from a Community School. It was the first Community College in Ireland. That year pupil enrolment was 381, with an Adult Education enrolment of 1100. 1984 / 85 Enrolments reached an all time high of 706 students coming from the following 20 national schools: Dunshaughlin, Culmullen, Ratoath, Rathbeggan, Dunboyne, Kilbride, Ashbourne, Curragha, Cushinstown, Garristown, Ardcath, Rathfeigh, Skryne, Dunsany, Kilmessan, Kiltale, Moynalvey, Kilcloon, Mulhussey and Batterstown. By now there was an accommodation crisis alleviated only by the introduction of the perennial prefabs. Governmental policies of financial rectitude pursued in the 1980s made it impossible to obtain money for a permanent extension. Feb 1988 Mr Liam Carey retired as Vice Principal and was replaced by Jim Marsden; formerly a metalwork teacher in the school since 1973. Sept 1993 Arrival of Dan Toole as Principal following on the retirement of John Holland after 35 years of great achievement and expansion. On his retirement John was the longest serving post primary school principal in Ireland. By now such was the growth of population in southeast Meath that two new post primary schools – in Dunboyne and Ashbourne – were opened in the area. Because of this numbers in Dunshaughlin Community College began to ease to a more manageable 600 or thereabouts. April 1995 Opening of a permanent extension including woodwork, technical drawing and science rooms by Minister for Education, Niamh Breathnach June 1998 Retirement of Jim Marsden as vice principal after 25 years service to Co Meath VEC. Audrey Scott was appointed for the 1998 –99 school year. Seamus Ryan became Deputy Principal the following year. Oct 2000 Almost 25 years after it had been first promised the Community Leisure Centre was opened behind the college – an invaluable PE and sports resource to both school and community.

If you have never tried Indonesian food, you are missing out ! True flavorful indonesian food can be found in Holland and the islands of Curacao, Aruba and Bonaire. It's rare to find a restaurant state side that serves authentic Indonesian. Well, not anymore. This place is amazing. Excellent service, delicious Indo food and wonderful ambiance ! Highly recommend it ! We drive all the way from Coral Springs to come dine here. Despite fuel being so expensive in the times we live, this place is STILL worth the 40 mile drive. Bravo !
Best Under-the-Radar Restaurant Miami 2008 - Indomania
Did you know jaja is an Indonesian word for "fishing net," but jaja jaja indicates an AC electrical outlet? Didn't think so. Indonesia isn't the world's highest-profile country, nor is its cuisine globally embraced like that of China, Italy, or Mexico. So it isn't surprising that Indomania hasn't stirred a mania among the masses. The location on 26th Street off the corner of Collins Avenue in Miami Beach doesn't exactly shout out for attention. Neither the humble Dutch husband-wife owners nor the modest, informal setting are the sorts that grab front-page headlines. All Indomania offers is an array of tempting traditional Dutch-Indonesian cooking in a friendly atmosphere and at excellent prices (appetizers $6 to $12, all main courses $20 and under). To wit: Rijstaffel, a plentiful "rice table" with eight plates of different tastes (just $22 per person); nasi goreng, a.k.a. fried rice with a kick; and two exceptional house specialties — duck or snapper steamed in a banana leaf with Balinese herbs. Next time you are looking for a no-fuss place for dinner, aim your radar a bit below the obvious choices.

I think in this case it would help to make all the elements work consistently, i.e. in syntax version 3.2 we would remove support for <destination> entirely from <download> and <unpack> and let them support <base> instead. This allows users to have multiple downloads/unpacks in the same stage and not have to specify the target path repeatedly in each download/unpack element. I know this is a more radical change than the Bugzilla entry was asking for, but I think it makes sense.

Mark Alliegro
Dr. Mark Alliegro is a cell biologist with a background in biochemistry and molecular biology. He is interested in the genesis of the cell division center (the centrosome in animal cells and its functional equivalents in others), both in the living cell and from an evolutionary standpoint.
Biogenesis of the cell division center is of clear biomedical importance because it regulates the timing of the cell cycle as well as progression through the steps of normal chromosome segregation. At the same time, understanding the composition and dynamics of the centrosome will help us to understand evolutionary relationships between the prokaryotic and eukaryotic worlds. Dr. Alliegro's laboratory is credited with demonstrating the presence of nucleic acids in centrosomes, a long- and hotly-debated issue.
To study the physiology and evolution of the centrosome, the Alliegro lab has developed a unique set of probes and approaches concentrating on the role of ribonucleoprotein complexes. These tools have already shown us that elements of the centrosome are derived from an enigmatic nuclear compartment known as the nucleolinus. High-throughput sequencing and analysis of unique libraries of centrosome- and nucleolinar-associated RNAs will enable the lab to evaluate the biological function and evolutionary relationships of these molecules.

Courage is knowing your fear, knowing what consequences can--and very likely will--happen if you stand up and act in the face of risk or danger or injustice, and deciding to stand up anyway. (iStock Photo)
Courage is a prerequisite for a successful career and life as a law enforcement officer and, by extension, to succeed as the husband or wife, child or kin of the LEO.
Fortunately, for most, the process of getting hired and graduating from recruit to trainee, to probationary cop and, finally, to fully certified peace officer is designed to separate the wheat from the chaff, and put the best, brightest and bravest on the street. Of course, there will always be poseurs who slip past the censors, getting by on luck or pretense, but they really fool no one over the long haul. For the majority of cops, courage is a core value on which a career is built.
"Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage without fear." --Eddie Rickenbacker, a WWI flying ace
We should probably define courage. By courage, we're not talking about the absence of fear. There really are people who truly lack a fearful response and, when facing risk, either do not or cannot see or appreciate the inherent danger before them, or they simply don't care. They're rarely appreciated in law enforcement because of the risks they bring upon themselves, their colleagues and the agency in terms of physical and legal liability.
Courage is knowing your fear, knowing what consequences can--and very likely will--happen if you stand up and act in the face of risk or danger or injustice, and deciding to stand up anyway. Courage is meeting the demand to do what's right when all your instincts push you toward what's safe. Courage allows you to move forward when everyone else freezes or flees. Courage allows you to speak truth to power when all the others are daunted. Courage allows you to defend righteousness when everyone around you makes excuses or embraces ambiguity. And courage allows you to act with the confidence of conviction, secure in your gifts, skills, training and friends, where most would balk. Courage lets you be a cop or someone who loves a cop.
But has your courage stood the test of time? Are you living boldly? Do you still feel the confidence of youth inside you, or have you chosen instead to take a spot on the bench, hoping for the best, cheering the warriors still on the field while safe the sidelines? Understand, we're not talking so much about physical courage--although that can wane, too--here but courage of conviction.
Time has an odd effect on us. For some, experience emboldens. Confidence builds with the thrills of success and the lesson that failure is survivable and ever better strategies can emerge from it. For others, experience teaches the opposite--that risk is bad, sticking your neck out brings it dangerously close to the chopping block or that it's always safer to shut up than stand up. Still others just get tired and decide courage takes too much time, too much energy, and opt to lay low and coast in on whatever momentum they've already engaged, victims of apathy or cynicism. These all hold true professionally, personally, and relationally, and with many forms of courage.
"It is curious that physical courage be so common in the world and moral courage so rare." --Mark Twain
We commonly bestow honor on those whose physical courage demands notice, who place their lives at great risk to protect others, who take up arms against tyranny or who stand watch against danger so others less bold can sleep at night. These people should be honored for their willingness to sacrifice when their acts follow their stated ideals--as when first responders or warriors do--and especially when common folk, who have no mandate to act on others behalf, do anyway.
What we're not so good at is honoring or rewarding moral courage, those acts of righteousness and goodwill that, although they offer little threat of physical harm, can destroy someone professionally or personally. It takes a special courage to look a boss, a colleague or maybe even a friend in the eye and say, "What you are doing is wrong and I cannot abide it. You must make this right!" Moral courage demands a lot of us--maybe a lot more than physical courage--and holds sometimes greater risks. A great many cops who would step into the literal line of gunfire to protect a fellow officer balk when it comes time to call out that same officer for legally or constitutionally questionable behavior, or their best friend for morally impure actions, or their spouse for destructive decisions.
Bravery so easily summoned in the face of death too often crumbles when the risk is an ostracized life.
"Fear sometimes stops you from doing stupid things. But it can also stop you from doing creative or exciting or experimental things. It can cloud your judgment of others, and lead to all kinds of evil. The control and understanding of our personal fears is one of the most important undertakings in our life." --Helen Mirren
One of the best things about being a kid--and by kid we mean well into young adulthood--was how eagerly and fearlessly we could sample the new, exotic and exciting. And, sure, sometimes it didn't work out as well as planned. Bumper skitching on icy streets looks fun but requires excellent balance, a pretty high pain threshold, and a good supply of Bactine and bandages. That especially twisty double-black-diamond run with the extra steep grade is a lot of fun starting out. Lugging ski gear back to Illinois with a broken arm? Not so much.

Comments On Sep 18, 2013:Money well spent. Old seat was torn with broken foam that was so flat there was no cusion at all. Might as well been sitting on plastic seat base which was broken also. Installed with no problems. Bolted right up. I'm over 6 ft. tall so I went with the tall height and it's perfect. Excellent upgrade for an older bike.

Comments On Sep 05, 2013:The fit of this seat on my bike was perfect. The seat is good looking, comfortable, and quality. At first it was on the hard side but after the first ride it softened. I would highly recommend replacing the stock unit with this product especially if your around 6ft tall.

This is the second of four reports from Stephen Regenold on his experience racing in the Ultimate Mountain Challenge, a multidisciplinary competition at the 2009 Teva Mountain Games in Vail, Colo.
My legs are still sore. My lungs are searching for more air. Stage No. 2 of the Ultimate Mountain Challenge was the Sobe XC Mountain Bike race, which entailed two tough laps up, up, up on Vail Mountain. Indeed, the climbs were excruciating and long, and I could barely find a gear low enough to spin up the slope.
But then you go down. Hold on. The singletrack was technical and tough, including rock gardens, drops, thousands of roots as obstacles, switchbacks, and make-it-or-crash rock "staircases" adjacent to the ski slopes. I rode a Giant Anthem X2, a dual suspension mountain bike new for 2009 that retails at $2,900. It was a nice balance between the beefy downhill bikes many competitors used and a lighter crosscountry model.
Still, the Anthem's suspension could not keep up. My hands went numb after gripping the vibrating handlebars. (So numb that at one point I had to shift with my palm!)
But in the end the race went well, considering the altitude and my recent arrival from (flat) Minnesota. I took 1 hour 21 minutes to do the two 5+ mile laps (10+ miles total), which put me in 32nd place out of 72 in a tough field that included elite cyclists as well as locals who train on these trails any given weeknight for a common ride.
