RYA Day skipper onshore course and general advice needed
Im brand new to sailing. Just done my RYA level 1 Introduction to sailing and have the level 2 booked for end of September. After that I plan to join a local club and dinghy sail on inland lakes (I live quite far from the coast).
I really liked the RYA 1 course and think sailing could become a major hobby. By chance when looking at something else on my local college's website I was surprised to see they do some RYA courses.
Do you think it's worth doing the Day Skipper course for someone in my position?. Going past dinghy sailing on lakes and into the sea/ocean on larger boats sounds great but with cost (I could not afford my own boat) and distance what avenues are there to get into this kind of sailing?.
Lastly, if anyone has any opinions on the pro's and cons of home based courses as a opposed to lecture based. With my local college doing the Day Skipper I have the option of doing that 5 months course or one of the many distance Day Skipper courses offered by several companies.
Thanks for your help!.

Colombian low-cost carrier Aires has set a 25 November launch date for Bogota-Fort Lauderdale, its first of several planned US routes.
Aires, which currently operates mainly domestic services with the exception of a handful of turboprop flights to Panama, Venezuela and the Caribbean, selected Fort Lauderdale as its first US destination early this year. It secured route authorities for Bogota-Fort Lauderdale and Bogota-New York JFK from the US DOT in March but for several months had to hold back on launching either route as it waited for FAA approval to operate into the US.
Aires this week finally began ticket sales for Fort Lauderdale and will operate one daily Boeing 737-700 flight between its Bogota hub and the Florida airport from 25 November. Aires, which had looked at operating flights to the US at night to maximise the utilisation of its new Boeing 737-700 fleet, has decided it will operate from Bogota to Fort Lauderdale in the early morning with the return flight operating in the afternoon.
Aires, which all along has said the planned New York service would follow Fort Lauderdale, has not yet set a launch date for its second US route. Aires says it has the authority to operate five weekly flights between Bogota and New York.
The carrier says it also has secured authority from Colombia's CAA to serve Fort Lauderdale from Barranquilla seven times per week, from Cartagena seven times per week and from Cali four times per week. It also has permission to continue two of the planned seven Fort Lauderdale-Cartagena frequencies to Bucaramanga and three of these frequencies to Pereira.
Aires also has been approved by Colombian authorities to serve Sao Paolo from Bogota four times per week as part of its ambitious international expansion plan.
The carrier, according to Flightglobal's ACAS database, now operates five 149-seat Boeing 737-700s and 14 37-seat and 50-seat Bombardier Dash 8 turboprops. Its 737-700s have been used since February to launch domestic trunk routes while the Dash 8s are used on regional services domestically and to Panama City, Aruba, Curacao and Maracaibo.
New international routes to the US, Brazil and the Caribbean are planned over the next few months as Aires take five additional 737-700s. Aires also plans to add at least two 70-seat Dash 8 Q400s to its fleet next year.

CEDAR PARK, Texas The public s help is needed by Cedar Park police in identifying a man who broke into the Lone Star Bank on Cypress Creek Road late Sunday night.
Detectives say the man who they are looking for reportedly didn't take money or any other valuables. Instead, he can be seen in bank surveillance video holding a bottle of a liquid that he squirts on the carpet in front of the teller s stand. He then lit the liquid, causing a fire in the lobby.
The man quickly left the scene. He was inside for 37 seconds, according to one bank employee.
Cedar Park police Commander Bryan Wukasch told WFAA's sister station in Austin that the man they re looking for was wearing a black beanie, a dark-colored jacket and black tennis shoes.
On his black T-shirt is what appears to be a white snake or a dragon.
The unknown arsonist is also believed to be wearing a black mini skirt.
Investigators are looking into whether the same man is responsible for three to four similar fires in the Cedar Park area all of which happened this year.
Cedar Park police are working in a joint investigation with the Williamson County Fire Marshal s Office and potentially the F.B.I.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Williamson County Crimestoppers at 800-253-7867. You can remain anonymous and any tip leading to an arrest or conviction could mean a financial reward.

nVidia, TVOut via Framebuffer - all without X
I have 2 graphics cards - both are nVidia FX 5200.
One controls the primary monitor and the second will control a TV screen via an application I will write.
I don't want to use X at all so I currently just boot Ubuntu to a prompt with no Gnome graphics.
I want to use a Framebuffer to control the TV screen but am struggling!
I am so confused about "nv", "nvidia", X, xorg.conf, "vga=", "nvidiafb", "vesafb", "vga16fb", "devfb" etc.
Do I need to install the "nvidia" driver or can I rely on "nv"?
Do I need to use "vesafb" or "nvidiafb"?
At the moment, if I unblacklist the nvidiafb module, it gets loaded and I see 3 /dev/fb*'s. However, if I blacklist nvidiafb and unblacklist vesafb - I only get /dev/fb0 which is using vga16fb. I guess this is my primary monitor rather than my TV screen.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Re: nVidia, TVOut via Framebuffer - all without X
Of all the drivers you mentioned you can only get tvout when you use nvidia's drivers in combination with X. The other way to get tvout is to connect only a tv to a videocard and then boot the system. I don't think a framebuffer driver will work correctly with it.
Further note that the 'tvout at boot' way only works if you boot from the primary videocard. Other videocards aren't started at system startup, to initialize those you most likely need X.

Want your child to be a super kid? Get him midbrain-activated.
That's what the latest child development programme in town is advising parents. At least 20 centres of the 'midbrain activation programme' have already come up across the country, with six in Mumbai.
What it promises is magic. "A midbrain-activated kid can tell the colour of your shirt, read messages in your mobile and even cycle -- all blindfolded," claims Shubhada Bhave (27), who has already trained 45 kids across Mumbai.
However, to some – with eyes wide open -- like child psychiatrist Dr Milan Balakrishnan, the idea doesn't sound fascinating at all. "It's crap," he says bluntly.
Midbrain activation experts claim they can enhance imagination power, intuition and super intelligence among children in the age bracket of 5-15 years in a few sessions.
India First Foundation, Karjat, is one school planning to take a shy at this 'wonderdrug'. It's organising a midbrain activation workshop on August 16 and 17 at Ghatkopar with a company called Adsum Mentis, owned by Yogesh Shetty.
Principal Nitin Padte got convinced after one of his students, "Aryan Shetty, started doing well in his studies and developed an interest in music after attending the workshop."
It's only a coincidence that Aryan happens to be Yogesh's son.
The programme costs between Rs15,000 and 25,000 and it's usually a two-day workshop. It's embedded with brain gyms and special sound therapy, followed by a few sessions. After this, a child is declared "successfully activated".
"The activation would remain life-long, though kids need to do some brain exercises daily," said a parent, who now hopes that her 9th grader would not only excel in SSC exams but also qualify for pre-medical test.
When asked if she would discontinue her daughter's coaching classes after the midbrain-activation, she was silent.
Midbrain-activation experts say the trick lies in the equal use of right and left sides of the brain. "The human brain functions optimally if its left and right hemispheres are in equilibrium."
Ameet Parekh, founder of Brain Bard Edu, which has seven centres across India. including four in Mumbai, explains further: "We divide brain activities into five phases: Gama (ideas, language and memory processing, and learning), Beta (alert, busy, active), Alpha (relaxation, intuition/genius condition/brain optimum), Theta (deep meditation) and Delta (sleep).
Dr Milan Balakrishnan is again not impressed. "While helping kids to use both sides of the brain is fine, there are no scientific studies to prove that one can create geniuses or enhance imagination and intuition through such methods."
There are no short or long-term impact study available, though centres claim much better performance from the attendees, post sessions. Also, they have no licence or certification from any health or educational agency, they are catching up. Parekh himself plans to open 100 franchisees in 12-18 months.
"We don't need any licence. I have a certification from a global firm. I would not like to name them as they have no stake in our business model," says Parekh.
Trainer Bhave claims she got a certification from a Vasald (Gujarat) group.

INDIAN DIPLOMACY has been quick off the blocks. Within days of a new Government headed by President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad taking office in Iran, External Affairs Minister Natwar Singh will be in Teheran for talks with the leadership.
Mr. Singh, who will be in Iran from September 2 to 4, will have talks with his Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki, and is scheduled to call on President Ahmedinejad as well. Senior officials said planning for Mr. Singh's visit began soon after it became clear that a new and very different Government was going to take charge in Teheran. The visit comes at an opportune moment to clear the confusion caused by comments made by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh when he spoke of the "uncertainties" in Iran casting a shadow on finances for a possible Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline during a July 21 interview with The Washington Post.
Following the Prime Minister's remarks, questions have been raised about Indian intentions towards the project, especially on account of the open opposition to the pipeline from the United States. Though there has been no reaction from Iran, it is clear Dr. Manmohan Singh's remarks need to be clarified. Teheran also needs to be told whether or not New Delhi is serious about the project.
"We want to stress during the External Affairs Minister's visit that despite our improved relations with the United States, Iran remains very important to us," a top External Affairs Ministry official told this correspondent. Iran was a key energy supplier for India, the official said, adding that a new Government was in place and it was important for New Delhi to make contact with it. Apart from the pipeline project, India has signed an LNG deal with Iran and Indian companies such as the Tatas and Essar are keen on investing in that country.
The official also pointed to the visit to New Delhi by Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani, in the context of the nuclear pressures faced by Iran. The new Iranian leadership has left no doubt that it wants to expand the European troika with which it has been negotiating nuclear questions. Though the development of the Chabahar port in Iran and the road linkages to Afghanistan are a major example of India-Iran cooperation, New Delhi is aware that it needs to push ahead with the project and ensure its speedy implementation. This issue is also likely to figure in Mr. Natwar Singh's discussions in Iran.
In a sense, Indian policy towards Iran will be a litmus test of the Manmohan Singh Government's sincerity in pursuing an independent foreign policy. Washington will not be happy if India pursues strategic energy cooperation with it.
Indian officials often tom-tom that Islamabad is susceptible to American pressure while New Delhi is not. That proposition can be called into question given the stand taken by India on the pipeline. The American opposition to the pipeline also drives a bus through Washington's stated objective of promoting cooperation between India and Pakistan. The Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline, which is a win-win project for all three countries, has the potential radically to transform the energy scene in South Asia.
On the nuclear issue, there's little doubt that as a party to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT), Iran is well within its rights to carry on with a nuclear energy programme. However, it is equally clear that Washington has Iran in its sights and, in the months ahead, the issue of Iranian (remember the tall stories about Iraq) "proliferation" could well make its way to the United Nations Security Council.
Given the fact that Washington has hardly hidden its intentions towards Iran, the Indian position on the nuclear question will also be closely watched. The Iranian side, on its part, has been saying it wants to involve the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in the negotiations with the EU troika. Obviously, India will be important if the Iranian goal is to involve NAM in these delicate negotiations.
A good, first step has been taken by New Delhi in setting up an early visit to Teheran by the External Affairs Minister. It now needs to stay the course in building an enhanced energy partnership with Iran and taking an independent position on Teheran's civil nuclear energy programme.

Nixon's Jew-Counter Returns to Spotlight
Virginia governor taps Fred Malek
Slate's Timothy Noah has a nice screed against Fred Malek, the longtime political operative most recently appointed by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, a conservative Republican, to a government reform commission. The problem with Malek is that, in the 1970s, at the direction of President Nixon, he appears to have compiled a list of Jews (or, more precisely, people with Jewish-sounding names) at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and then played a role in many of these folks' demotions. Later on, he lied about this.
Writes Noah,
Malek has not lifted a finger publicly to correct these lies, much less apologize for the actions they were meant to conceal. …
Malek's Jew-counting past probably played some role in his investment group's failing to win Major League Baseball's approval to own the Nationals, the D.C. baseball team—Malek had previously helped supply the cash for George W. Bush to acquire the Texas Rangers—but given the Nationals' performance, that may have been a blessing in disguise. Malek has lately emerged as a leading adviser to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
Now Malek is reorganizing Virginia state government. I wouldn't go so far as to say that in giving Malek this job, McDonnell is coddling an anti-Semite. I believe that Malek was probably repulsed by what he ended up doing for Nixon. But he did it, and ever since Malek has lied to avoid admitting the depth of his involvement in this grotesque episode. If that's atonement, then I'm St. Francis of Assisi.
One quibble: Check the sports section, Mr. Noah! The Nationals are currently one game above .500!

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Hôtel le A
4, rue d'Artois, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 8th Arr. (Champs-Elysées/Madeleine)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The first thing that's notable about Hotel le A is the style. Any time a high-design, architecturally modern hotel opens in Paris, it's news. First because there are still few of them — the Paris hotel scene remains in thrall to a century-old vision of architecture and interior design — and second because here, in one of the world's style capitals, only the best contemporary design has a chance of surviving without being laughed out of town.
That's no danger, in this case. The design, by Frédéric Méchiche, is as contemporary as can be, a clean and simple vision in a monochrome palette, with ebony-stained wood floors and chocolate-brown sofas and armchairs against a backdrop of dazzling white. Some unique lighting effects lighten the mood, including an elevator ceiling that changes color at each floor.
There's more to a hotel than visual impact, of course. Beneath its modern surface, the Hotel le A deals in classic luxury. Rooms are smallish but spare no comfort, and are decorated with original works by the contemporary French artist Fabrice Hybert. Downstairs a library and lounge, complete with fireplace, offer space for relaxation. It's a modernist oasis hidden away within a classic townhouse, all the more notable for the contrast between its interior and its location, in a buzzing commercial district between the Champs-Elysées and the Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

What I liked:
staff was very friendly, it is in a good location
What the hotel could do better:
They try too hard to be exceptional and do not quite make it (the elevator changes light colours 3 times before you get to the second floor) on the basic services they should offer. The shower is beautiful, in a stone and glass box, but it floods the rest of the room and it is not functional to what it is supposed to be doing! There was basically no amenities included in the room, just very expensive extras. it was very disappointing, the price is not worth the stay.

NEW YORK — "This is killing everything out there!" Kanye West exclaimed while listening to his own album, Late Registration. "Who can't hear that?"
And at a listening session for the album in New York on Wednesday, the answer was: No one. Even though the album isn't finished yet, even though not all of the completed songs were played and some songs weren't played all the way through, and even though the video for "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" that he was unveiling actually premiered on television during the event, a large crowd — including Common and a tardy Lil' Kim — packed into a tiny room at Sony Studios to hear and see what Kanye's been cooking up.
"I wanted to take this opportunity to play [the album] and show off," Kanye said unabashedly.
First he played the video, directed by Hype Williams, which opens with a shot of a diamond mine and a subtitled introduction that reads, "When I was a boy, I worked in the diamond mines deep in the dark mountains of Sierra Leone. Children worked there day and night under the watchful eyes of soldiers. Every day we feared for our lives. Our only hope came from when we would sing" — then the sample from Shirley Bassey's "Diamonds Are Forever" kicks in (see " 'Diamonds' Remix: Kanye Raps About Rocks, Jay Raps About Roc" ).
Throughout the black-and-white clip, there are shots of Kanye walking through Prague in a wool coat, children working in the diamond mines, and skewed versions of the De Beers diamonds commercials where, after the wholesome couple agrees to get married, blood flows from the woman's ring finger (see "Kanye West Shooting 'Diamonds' Video In 'Pray-Goo' " ).
Later in the video, the kids are featured underneath the display case in a jewelry shop, then a car drives into it, knocking West down outside of the store. The kids come to his rescue, and they all run into a cathedral together, where Kanye double-fists pianos for the song's finale.
|Click for photos of the listening session
At the listening session, a minimally blinged-out West said he expects to catch a lot of flack from people for having Williams behind the lens — because of his flashy, all-style-no-substance videos — but Kanye defended Hype by saying that it was the other people who copied his style who made it into a full-fledged trend.
After the video, West played tracks from Late Registration, including the "Diamonds" remix with Jay-Z, the second single, "Gold Digger" (which features Jamie Foxx) and "Drive Slow," featuring Paul Wall and GLC (see "Kanye, Jay-Z Give An Early Peek At West's Late Registration" ).
When "Crack Music" (featuring Game) started playing and Kanye thought the crowd wasn't paying close enough attention, he stopped the song and asked the listeners for their concentration. "The lyrics are very good, trust me," he said. On the track, Kanye says the government intentionally spreads AIDS and implicates Ronald Reagan in bringing down the Black Panthers.
'I'mma kill you, n—a, I'mma kill you, n—a, I'mma kill you, n—a' — but saying, 'I'm going to dinner with a white woman' or 'Diamonds come from Sierra Leone' is way more disruptive," Kanye explained. "But I had to get it off my chest."
Then he played "Bring Me Down," which was arranged by the album's co-executive producer Jon Brion (Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple) and has a chorus sung by Brandy. West said he thought it would be interesting to have the former sweetheart say, "I always knew that one day they'd try to bring me down." Brion's other string arrangement on the album is "Celebration," a straight-up party song that Kanye said he particularly enjoyed using a 20-piece orchestra for, because the hook goes, "You know what this is?/ It's a celebration, bitches."
West said he appreciated the broader palette that Brion brought to his music. "[Rap music] is so formulaic: 16 bars, chorus, 16 bars, chorus," he said. "I had just one verse. It was a mad long verse, but that's all I had to say."
After that, it was game time. The first game was peek-a-boo, where Kanye would only play a snippet of a new song because there is a guest on the track that he's not ready to reveal yet. And the second was a guessing game: West played "Heard 'Em Say" and asked everyone to guess who was on the hook.
Someone shouted out Smokey Robinson, but it actually turned out to be Adam Levine from Maroon 5. "They were so big that I thought they'd be less ill, but I heard them rehearsing backstage at the Grammys and he was hitting all them mockingbird notes and I said, I have to get him in the studio.' "
Kanye revealed that his third album will break him out of his underdog-themed titles and be called Graduation, then indulged in some more self-promotion. He dismissed the concept of time constraints when putting a record out: "I won't put music out unless I cold talk my sh–," he said. "I'm the [Muhammed] Ali of this sh–." Then he addressed the press directly, urging them not to be afraid to write as many nice things as they want to about him. "When you had dreams of being writers and writing about the Rolling Stones or Prince … yes, only Kanye would put his name in that group," he laughed.
"Seriously, how many perfect albums is that under my belt? I'm sorry," he said, before adding, "Actually, no, I don't apologize."
Late Registration is due on August 16.

Sean Williams gives a glimpse of the 'competitor' he can be
|04.25.12 at 8:24 am ET
Sean Williams was regarded as one of the best shot-blocking talents coming out of college when he declared for the 2007 NBA draft out of Boston College.
Tuesday, with no Kevin Garnett and Greg Stiemsma, the Celtics had to look somewhere for bench help to support Ryan Hollins, and it was the newly-acquired Williams who got the look-see.
In nearly 20 minutes, he scored five points, hauled down two rebounds, had two assists and yes, blocked two shots in Boston's 78-66 ugly duckling win over the Heat at the Garden.
'It was OK," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said of Williams Tuesday. "He's a shot blocker, doesn't know a lot of our stuff. You know he was pressing early; him and Ryan they were pressing way too much early on. And I thought as they settled in, one thing I did like about Sean down the stretch: he's competitive. And you can see that. He wasn't going to back down to anything, got some great blocked shots, so that was good to see.'
So, back in Boston, Williams had the juices flowing in the first half, almost too much. Rivers could tell he was a bit nervous, and Williams didn't deny that.
'Yes I was a little," Williams said with a smile. 'You go out there your first time you get tired real fast, your legs get down on you real quick, everything kind of shuts down on you so I caught my second wind I guess in the second half.'
Technically, Williams is eligible for Boston's playoff roster since he waived by Dallas before the March 23 NBA deadline for rosters. Could he help off the bench as a shot-blocking force if Stiemsma's sore feet act up?
'I'm just trying to come in here and help these guys reach their goals, getting that 18th ring, that's all I'm focused on," Williams said. 'I'll let Doc decide that. Its not up to me. I just come here every day and try to get better at what I do.'

Need a form of exercise that does not strain your joints? The Stott Pilates Reformer might be an answer, writes LOH FOON FONG.
THE Stott Pilates Reformer, a bed like frame with moveable carriage where a person sits or reclines and does his or her stretching, is an excellent way of exercising without hurting the joints while strengthening muscles.
"The way the spring works on the Reformer makes exercises smooth and acts a lot kinder on the joints," says Lisa Jones, Pilates Reformer trainer at Fitness First in the John Hancock building in Kuala Lumpur. This is the only Fitness First outlet that offers the Pilates Reformer as an exercise option.
While the use of springs in the Reformer creates resistance and builds up strength, it also provides a gentler environment for joint movement.
"The Reformer isolates the muscles a lot better. It also makes the stretch deeper. The 'mermaid' stretch, for instance, is enhanced when the moveable carriage is pushed away from the stretch," says Jones.
"While Mat Pilates is still an excellent way to work on the pelvic floor, abdominal and core muscles, it does not use resistance in stretching like the Reformer," she says.
"Moreover, people get more 'worked out' from the Reformer. It can stretch the arms and legs better and there are more choices of exercises," she says.
The Reformer, easily adjusted according to each person's size and ability, is a total body workout and is used only under supervision of a trained and qualified instructor. The exercises do not build up bulky muscles but lengthens and strengthens muscles and focuses on developing a strong torso.
The exercises are a lot more creative and gentler on the body than gym work outs and effectively stretch so many muscles in the body that people do not even realise some of them exist.
The exercises may look simple but they are not at all easy because much concentration is needed in getting the breathing, posture and muscle exercise right. Even in exercising, the abs are also being worked on, says Jones.
"The men tend to think that Pilates is easy until they try it," she says.
Unlike Joseph Pilates's original fitness programme that promotes a flat spine, Stott Pilates came up with his own interpretations and workouts that maintain and realign the spine's natural curves, she says.
Most of us have over-trained our muscles by doing too much forward bending and not enough stretching and strengthening of the back. Similarly, athletes tend to overuse certain muscles while neglecting others.
Pilates builds up the weaker side of the body and helps correct posture and put the balance of strength and flexibility back into the body, says Jones.
"With weight lifting, people can cheat and not do it correctly. However, you cannot cheat with the Reformer. You will not be comfortable when that happens," she says.
"It's initially difficult to understand how to exercise muscles that are hardly worked on but after five or six sessions, people usually begin to understand better, and after 10 sessions, they start to feel stronger and by the 20th session, they start to see changes in the way they look," she says.
"People say they walk away feeling light. Migraines disappeared for some people. We even have people who had suffered slip disc, hernia and back problems and we help them build up and strengthen their body slowly," she says.
While most clients are in their 30s and 40s, the oldest client is 68 years old, she says. Pilates attracts mostly women; however, more men are beginning to join the classes.
While Pilates helps with muscle strengthening, Jones says that people should still do cardio works in separate exercise sessions.
Pilates is a brainchild of Joseph Pilates, a German born in 1880. As a sickly child who suffered from asthma, rickets and rheumatic fever, he was determined to become physically stronger. He studied and became good at bodybuilding, diving, skiing and gymnastics.
In World War I, Pilates became a nurse in camps and trained internees in physical fitness exercises he developed. He also helped hospitalised fellow German internees in England recuperate during World War I. He mounted springs onto hospital beds to provide resistance for bed-ridden patients to exercise.
He was widely credited when none of the inmates succumbed to an influenza epidemic that killed thousands in England in 1918.
After the war, Pilates continued his fitness training programmes in Hamburg, Germany, and used his methods in the police force. He immigrated to the United States in 1926. On the ship to America, he met his wife Clare and upon arrival, the couple founded a studio in New York and became a hit among well-known dancers who came to him for training or rehabilitation from injuries.
Pilates died in 1967 and his exercise methods are used until today.
Moira Stott improvised Joseph Pilates's method and started the Stott Pilates Studio in 1987 in Canada.
At Fitness First, the Stott Pilates Reformer is offered on an individual basis or to a group of five. Each session will take an hour and cost between RM50 and RM100. Block schedules are also available.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Touted as a cross between Russ Meyer, Blaxploitation, and Memento, director Rick Jacobson's Bitch Slap is the latest proof that calculated camp in the form of homage is near-impossible to pull off. (Last year's Black Dynamite was the rare successful experiment.) When the femme trio of a seemingly naïve stripper, a drug-running gun-for-hire, and a corporate powerbroker try to abscond with a psycho gang-lord's fortune in diamonds, things immediately go awry and bodies pile up left and right. Co-written by Jacobson and Eric Gruendemann, the film is structurally ambitious, though derivative, in that each successive flashback takes the viewer further back in time as the layers of the main characters are gradually peeled back. In keeping with the film's giddy superficiality, what's revealed is a series of sexy poses passed off as character depth. All the backstabbing, shifting alliances, and dark motives are held together by adolescent, innuendo-laden dialogue and thick Sapphic overtones aimed purposely at hetero male titillation. Matters arent helped by the fact that Jacobsons clunky sampling across genres and mediums (from Kill Bill to Victoria's Secret television ads) underscores the fact that he's stuck in snickering, 14-year-old fanboy mode, merely riffing on the surfaces of the things that gave power to the B-films and filmmakers he's emulating.

If I upgrade from my Logic Studio with Logic Pro 8, will my Mackie Control Universal Pro be fully compatible please?
- Asked by Steve K from Wells

Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
That is really a question to ask the people at Mackie as it is their hardware, see if they have a driver update. But from what I know, if it is compatible with the Core Audio system in your version of Mac OS X, then it might work.

iPod classic 5th gen motherboard
Hi guys, this is my first time posting, but well, without any further fuss...
I have a 5th generation iPod Classic which I got from my friend as he dropped it and claimed hard drive no longer worked. Upon replacing the hard drive, it still wouldn't boot. Then I discovered there is a busted component on a motherboard, just right beside the battery connector.
After some googling I found out there is an identical component to the left side of the dock connector. So my question is- what is this component called and is there any way I could find a replacement online?
Here are few photos attached, hope it makes some sense.
|Feb 20, 2014, 12:39 PM
The parts you are referring to are soldered on to the mainboard and it may be just as costly to get replace those parts as it would to buy a replacement mainboard. A replacement mainboard usually runs $50-$60 on eBay and requires a somewhat careful approach and delicate hand to replace, but it is definitely easier than soldering parts. Just make sure you look at the part number on the rounded edge (just below the screen. It is either 820-1763-A or 820-1975-A).
Repair guides can be found at ifixit: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPod+5th...eplacement/615
Or you can go with a repair service where you send in your iPod, pay them for the part and installation. Rapid Repair does this kind of work.
|Feb 20, 2014, 04:00 PM
Thanks, brsedu. I looked at iPods with faulty hard drives, they run at around £20-30 (that'd be around 40-50USD). I think I might just get one and swap the parts around, and keep the rest for further spares.
Although getting a repair service would be most reliable of all, I think a working iPod 5G would be cheaper than getting one fixed
Why I was asking for those parts, it's just my dad works in a place where they make computer boards so I could get it soldered no probs. But if they're costy as you say, it's not worth the effort I suppose :/

This application claims Paris Convention priority of DE 199 57 332. 8 filed Nov. 29, 1999 the complete disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The invention concerns a transverse connector for osteosynthesis for connection of a fixation rod interconnecting several vertebrae.
Curvatures of the spine are conventionally treated by interconnecting several vertebrae via a fixation rod and are thus correctly positioned. Towards this end, pedicle screws are screwed into the vertebrae or bone plates are disposed on the vertebrae into which the fixation rod or, optionally, several fixation rods are introduced. With extreme curvatures of the spine, the curvature of the fixation rod may not be sufficient for binding the vertebrae, the bone screws screwed into the vertebra, or the disposed vertebrae plates to the fixation rod. For such curvatures of the spine, several fixation rods, which are connected to one another, must normally be used so that several bone screws have to be screwed into the individual vertebrae. This can cause problems since the strength of the vertebrae suffers.
It is therefore the underlying purpose of the present invention to provide a transverse connector which can also correct extremely curved spines.
This object is achieved in accordance with the invention with a transverse connector for osteosynthesis, wherein the transverse connector comprises a rod-shaped section to fix same and a clamping section for connecting the fixation rod.
The transverse connector in accordance with the invention facilitates use of fixation rods which are less curved even in the event of extremely curved spines, wherein the fixation rods are connected to the bone screws or bone plates and thus to the vertebrae via the transverse connector in accordance with the invention should direct connection of the fixation rod to the bone screws or bone plates not be possible. The transverse connector in accordance with the invention can thus safely transfer, without play, the correction forces from the fixation rod to the corresponding vertebrae. The transverse connector is connected either to the bone screw or to the bone plate via the rod-shaped section, wherein the fixation rod is mounted to the transverse connector via the clamping section.
A further development provides that the clamping section has an opening for receiving the fixation rod, said opening having a slot which is open at an edge. The fixation rod is guided through the opening and retained by reducing the cross-section of the opening after insertion of the fixation rod. This is usually effected by screwing in a screw to reduce the size of the slot and thereby clamp the fixation rod in the opening. It is also possible to screw a fixation screw into the clamping section which directly engages and holds the fixation rod. Clamping screws of this type are usually designed as stud screws.
In a preferred manner, the clamping section is formed in two pieces, with a clamping lid. The clamping lid thereby forms part of the opening for the fixation rod. This embodiment of the clamping section has the essential advantage that the fixation rod can be inserted into the opening in a relatively simple fashion and that the clamping lid is disposed only after insertion or introduction of the fixation rod to thereby close the opening.
The clamping lid is disposed on the rod-shaped section in a preferably pivotable fashion. The fixation rod can be removed relatively easily by pivoting open the opening and the opening is closed after insertion of the fixation rod by pivoting closed the clamping lid, as mentioned above.
In a preferred embodiment, the clamping lid has a shackle surrounding the rod-shaped section of the transverse connector thereby securely retaining the clamping lid. Moreover, the shackle transfers the clamping and retaining forces of the clamping lid to the rod-shaped section.
An embodiment provides that the shackle bends away from the plane of the clamping lid through an angle of about 900° and surrounds the rod-shaped section orthogonally to its longitudinal axis. This embodiment of the shackle permits pivoting or raising of the clamping lid while facilitating optimum force introduction and fixation of the clamping lid on the rod-shaped section.
To produce a defined position of the clamping lid, the shackle comprises a shoulder forming a bearing which is supported on a counter bearing of the other part of the clamping section. The two parts of the opening into which the fixation rod is inserted are also aligned with respect to one another via these two bearing parts.
In a preferred fashion, the bearing with associated counter bearing and the clamping screw are disposed on opposite sides of the opening for the fixation rod. The shackle surrounding the rod-shaped section is also disposed on the side of the bearing with associated counter bearing. This embodiment guarantees that even large forces can be easily introduced from the fixation rod into the transverse connector without changing the position of the fixation rod in the clamping section.
Further fixation against displacement and/or turning of the transverse connector in the bone screw or the bone plate is provided when the rod-shaped section has a surface structure having, in particular, grooves extending in the longitudinal direction. A surface structure, in particular comprising grooves extending in the longitudinal direction of the opening, can furthermore be provided on at least sections of the inner surface of the opening for the fixation rod. This surface structure prevents change of the position of the structural component in the associated clamping element. Other surface structures, such as fluting, a threaded structure etc. are also feasible.
In order to be able to easily use both fixation rods as well as the inventive transverse connector on the same bone screws and/or bone plates, the diameter of the rod-shaped section corresponds to the diameter of the opening for the fixation rod, wherein the transverse connector does not require any special bone screws and/or bone plates.
Surgery is facilitated when the clamping section has a securely fastened screw. This precludes parts of the transverse connector from becoming lost after insertion of the transverse connector and before the final clamping of the fixation rod. The screw for mounting the clamping lid is always securely retained on the clamping lid.
Further advantages, features and details of the invention can be extracted from the dependent claims and the following description describing, in detail, a particularly advantageous embodiment with reference to the drawing. The features shown in the drawing and mentioned in the claims and the description may be essential to the invention either individually or collectively in any arbitrary combination.
FIG. 1 shows a side view of the transverse connector in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 shows a top view of the transverse connector in the direction of the arrow II in accordance with FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the transverse connector.
FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a transverse connector 10 in accordance with the invention. This transverse connector 10 is formed by a rod-shaped section 12 and a clamping section 14. The rod-shaped section 12 of the transverse connector 10 is connected to e.g. a bone screw (not shown) or a bone plate (not shown). The cross-section of the rod-shaped section 12 thereby corresponds essentially to the cross-section of a fixation rod (not shown) for correcting curvatures of the spine. This rod-shaped section 12 has a round cross-section having grooves 16 extending on the outer side in the longitudinal direction to prevent rotation.
The clamping section 14 is formed from two parts and comprises a first part 18 integral with the rod-shaped section 12. The second part is formed as clamping lid 20 and is disposed on the rod-shaped section 12 in a pivotable fashion. As clearly shown, in particular in FIG. 3, the clamping lid 20 comprises a shackle 22 surrounding the rod-shaped section 12, which is angled through 900° in a curved manner and away from the plane of the clamping lid 20 and is disposed with its end 24 opposite the clamping lid 20 essentially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the rod-shaped section 12.
The clamping lid 20 and the first part 18 of the clamping section 14 form an opening 26 having a slot 28 open at the edge. The fixation rod (not shown) is inserted into the opening 26 and clamped. Clamping is effected by screwing a clamping screw 30, rigidly retained in the clamping lid 20, into a corresponding threaded opening in the first part 18. The clamping lid 20 is clamped onto the fixation rod by means of the clamping screw 30. The clamping lid 12 is thereby pivoted about a pivoting bearing 32 formed by a shoulder 34 and a counter bearing 36.
To be able to securely fix the fixation rod in the clamping section 14, the opening 26 comprises longitudinal grooves 38 in its axial direction which are provided on part of the inner circumference of the opening 26.
Easy insertion of the fixation rod into the clamping section 14, even if the transverse connector 10 is mounted to the bone screw, is effected by pivoting the pivoting lid about the pivoting bearing 32 after unscrewing the clamping screw 30. The rod-shaped section 12 thereby pivots in a kidney-shaped opening 40 surrounded by the shackle 22. The fixation rod can be easily inserted into the open opening 26. Fixation is effected by pivoting the clamping lid 20 and securing the clamping screw 30 to the first part 18.
In an embodiment not shown in the drawing, the clamping section 14 is formed as a single piece, i.e. the clamping lid 20 is integral with the first part 18. The opening 26 thereby tapers and holds an inserted clamping rod through elastic deformation of the clamping section 14 by screwing in the clamping screw 30. In this embodiment, the transverse connector 10 has to be pushed onto the fixation rod before fixing same on the bone screws or bone plates.

As a longstanding CranioSacral Therapy Certified Teaching Assistant for The Upledger Institute International he has experienced multiple courses in the entire curriculum, including many direct associations with Dr. Upledger. Richard has been a Diplomate Certified CranioSacral Therapist since 2012 and enjoys working with a variety of clients including pediatric and general physical therapy, massage therapy, and sports medicine in the Western New York area. He is a contributor to Working Wonders 1 with his work with pediatric clients. Mr. Hofner has taken a number of courses in the Chikly Health Institute Curriculum through the Brain 3 level courses and with the Barral Institute up to and including the Thoracic Level courses. The incorporation of a variety of techniques to enhance a patient's experience is an important part of his "philosophy of treatment."
Welcome to The Upledger Institute Clinic, an integrative healthcare center recognized as a world leader in light-touch therapy that relieves your pain and discomfort at its source — so you can feel well for life.
The clinic was established right here in Palm Beach Gardens in 1985 by Dr. John E. Upledger, the physician featured in TIME magazine as one of America's next wave of innovators. He's celebrated for his development of CranioSacral Therapy, an innovative approach that releases tensions deep in the body to allow all your systems to self-correct.
Clinicians here are carefully selected for their advanced skills in CranioSacral Therapy and other holistic approaches that activate your own remarkable healing capabilities. We offer an array of ancient and innovative therapies, each one chosen for its ability to complement your conventional care.
Few structures in your body have as much influence over its ability to function properly as the brain and spinal cord that make up your central nervous system. And few systems have as much impact on the brain and spinal cord as the soft tissues and fluid that surround and protect them — the craniosacral system.
Every day the body endures stresses and strains and your structures compensate for them. Unfortunately, over time these compensations can cause your soft tissue to tighten and distort the craniosacral system, which in turn can put pressure on the brain and spinal cord.
The result? A barrier to the healthy performance of your central nervous system — and potentially every other system with which it interacts.
CranioSacral Therapy is designed to release those soft-tissue tensions. Practitioners use a soft touch — starting with the weight of a nickel — to evaluate how well your craniosacral system is performing. Then they use gentle techniques to release any tensions they find.
By restoring the best possible environment for your brain and spinal cord, CranioSacral Therapy naturally helps the rest of your body self-correct. It eliminates the negative effects of stress, strengthens your resistance to disease, and enhances your overall health and well-being.
CranioSacral Therapy has been used successfully to relieve numerous health problems. They include migraines, neck and back pain, TMJ dysfunction, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, ADD/ADHD, central nervous system disorders and many others. And because it's so gentle, it's been proven effective for all ages, from newborns to elders.
"People have a belief that life is difficult and healing is painful. CranioSacral Therapy helps them let go of that belief. The healing process can be much more gentle and subtle." — S.H., Abbeville, La.
Patients travel from all parts of the world to receive treatment at The Upledger Institute Clinic for CranioSacral Therapy. Why? Because this remarkable therapy was developed by our founder after years of clinical testing and we maintain the authenticity of his orginal therapeutic approach.
Now after more than 30 years in use, CranioSacral Therapy has been instituted in healthcare programs throughout the world.
Find out how much better you can feel when you visit The Upledger Institute Clinic. It's a remarkable resource for you and your family – right here in your own backyard.

Bear in mind the following was told to me by a drunk buddy who, while not a habitual liar, may have been fucking with me in the particular instance;
I heard a horrible story concerning the GWOT where a guy was dispatched to kill a terrorist halawada (google it) in an allied country. As he wanted to frame Shin Bet, he chose a ruger .22 pistol modified to be fully automatic. (Shin bet likes to empty an entire clip of .22 into a guys neck then run off on a motorcycle.)
Without going into too much detail, he wound up chasing the man down the street at 3am with 20 rounds of .22 jostling around his windpipe, and had to bash his head in when he collapsed after a few blocks. So even in the right hands, a .22 is not well suited to a controlled, well planned assassination, much less spontanious, confusing and terrifying self defense.
Start out with a .357 or a .40 - you only really need one firearm unless you're compensating or a hunter. With the money you save, buy your wife a present.
edit: the .38 is a f4g0t round that doesn't kill. Look into the US invasion of the Philippines.

The street argument is retarded. BJJ is so much overkill for the street that its ridiculous. Unless you're the idiot that picks a fight with the high school wrestling team, barring knife or gun play, the opponent shouldn't make it past double leg + ground and pound - Osiris
Go to a gun store that rents guns. Tell them up front what you are looking for. Let them know that you are serious about buying - from them - and they will bend over backwards with advice and assistance.
You can spend $50-$100 in an afternoon of shooting many different models and calibers. In the long run that money will be well spent. Professional experience + first hand experience = winning combination.

Advances in Abrasive Technology V (Key Engineering Materials,)
The history of abrasive technology dates from the very dawn of mineral utilization and continues to this day with the development of precision-finishing technology. The current requirements of high precision and high quality surfaces for critical components and devices, such as silicon wafers in the semiconductor industry, lenses in the precision optics industry, and dyes in the injection molding industry, make the technology of abrasives more important than ever, and essential, albeit indirectly, for the rapid development of information technology. This book therefore plays a valuable role in presenting recent advances in the field of abrasive technology. The topics covered include the micro-machining, grinding and turning of brittle materials, measurement and surface quality assessment, cooling and coolants, polishing, grinding wheels, advances in truing and dressing for grinding, novel abrasive techniques, the mechanics and control of grinding processes, and novel machining techniques. Among these topics are reported novel designs for systems and machine tools and new techniques and processes. The modelling and investigation of the characteristics and performance of abrasive processes are also analyzed. The book presents applicable discoveries for the benefit of active researchers and engineers and should form the basis of further research in the abrasive technology field, aimed at creating new and practical machine tools, systems, and processes, and at identifying new applications for them.

Can anyone give some advice on whether I should stick to original Epson ink cartridges or perhaps try some aftermarket ones...perhaps even refillable ones?
It would be a bit like buying half a dozen lenses with your first camera, without knowing what you might end up shooting.
With the included 150 ml cartridges, it might be quite some time before you need to replace one, and the shelf life of pigment ink while quite long, is not infinite.

Because of the online gambling banning bill (UIGEA) passed by the United States Government, US citizens are finding it hard to gamble online. Many of the biggest online casinos are pulling out of the American market and many of them have already done so.
This disturbing turn of events leaves US gamblers at a loss as to where they can or cannot play anymore, especially since these casinos appear to be jumping the gun. It will take another 270 days after the President signs the bill before the law can actually be implemented. This leaves you with a lot of time to still be able to gamble without any repurcussions whatsoever. This also leaves a lot of time for things to maybe even change – at this stage it is really a "wait and see" problem.
Below we have listed a number of online casinos that still accept US players to open accounts and play their favourite games. Please note that even though we try to keep our site and details up to date, the situation at one or two casinos could change and we have not been informed about it yet.

Medical Data Entry Training Programs and Courses
Community colleges and vocational schools offer training in medical data entry through such programs as an Associate of Applied Science in Medical Coding & Billing.
Essential Information
Medical coders, also known as medical billing specialists, are healthcare professionals who specialize in recording patient data and medical procedures for insurance and billing purposes. Most are trained through 2-year associate's degree programs that teach them the specific skills needed to quickly and efficiently compile medical data into appropriate documents. Some programs are available through online study.
Students enrolled in a degree program related to medical data entry must learn the various codes, medical terms and abbreviations that apply to procedures and diagnoses. Those codes are used by insurance companies to make payments for ill and injured patients. Students also get an overview of the various types of employers that require data entry skills, including hospitals, doctor's offices, insurance companies and nursing homes. During the program, students should build a strong sense of professional standards and communication in order to better interact with medical personnel and patients.
Education Prerequisites
A high school diploma is one of the most standard prerequisites to gaining acceptance into any associate's degree program, including an associate's degree program in medical data entry or medical coding. Students should also have strong keyboarding and computer usage skills.
Program Coursework
A degree program in medical coding, billing and data entry should include courses that focus on the practicalities of the profession while also preparing students to work in one or more healthcare environments. Some examples of common courses are listed below:
- Healthcare environments
- Medical terminology
- Coding systems
- Reimbursement methods
- Pathophysiology
- Coding principles
- Government regulations
- Medical records
Employment Outlook and Salary Info
Medical records and health information technicians held down more than 182,000 positions in the field in 2013, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov). The majority of professionals worked for surgical and general hospitals, but the top-paying employer is the pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing industry. As of May 2013, the median annual wage for these professionals was $34,970. The BLS projected job growth of 22%, much faster than the average for all occupations, for medical records and health information technicians from 2012-2022.
It is common for medical coders and other health information technicians to earn certification or credentials. The American Health Information Management Association allows professionals to become Registered Health Information Technicians once they earn an associate's degree and pass a credentialing examination. The American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) and the Board of Medical Specialty Coding (BMSC) also offer certification in the field.

Marlies On Verge Of First Round Victory
Jeff Veillette (Jeffler)
April 29 2013 01:39PM
For the Toronto Marlies, last year's playoffs had a bit of a different atmosphere. With the Maple Leafs out of the playoffs, the team was heavily focused on by fans, media, and the parent club alike. Last year's team was filled with NHL talent; eight players (Matt Frattin, Jake Gardiner, Nazem Kadri, Joe Colborne, Ryan Hamilton, Mark Fraser, Colton Orr, and Ben Scrivens) are currently calling the Air Canada Centre their home. Ricoh Coliseum was full and loud, with fans looking for hockey to be excited about in the early spring months. Mainstream media that typically rolled their eyes at the AHL were around to see what was up. It was a unique situation, and an exciting one as the blue and white headed to the Calder Cup Finals before being swept by the Norfolk Admirals.
Speculating all over Tyler Bozak's injury status

Dave Nonis said that he expected Tyler Bozak to be on the ice and ready for Game One, but he didn't practice with the team today. Mikhail Grabovski spent time between Joffrey Lupul and Nik Kulemin on the second line with Nazem Kadri with Phil Kessel and James van Riemsdyk on the first.
Steve Simmons, of all people, noted that Grabovski was staying out for extra faceoff practice.
So maybe there's a disconnect between what the Leafs are preparing for in Game One and what the Leafs are saying. Elliotte Friedman was on the Canucks Army podcast last night and did note that you can't trust teams at this time in the season to be entirely truthful and up front when it comes to injuries.

Is Anne Murray available to sing the anthem at Leaf playoff games?

Did you know it's been a while since the Toronto Maple Leafs last played a playoff game? It's true. Be reminded every day between now and about the first intermission of Game Two, and possible for the first two periods of Game Three when the Leafs play at home.
The Leafs overcoming some very long odds to make the postseason is a pretty cool story, and their opponent has yet to be determiend. (Although it may be determined by the time you read this column, but I won't be able to file anything else until about 3 a.m. Eastern, and who is going to read anything at that time?)
Part of what's gone on in the time that it's taken the Leafs to make the playoffs is that it seems every team has developed some sort of national anthem schtick—Rene Rancourt in Boston fist pumping after singing the Star-Spangled Banner, Mark Donnelly in Vancouver letting the crowd sing the middle section, Montreal fans booing the Star-Spangled Banner and Phoenix fans showing up late, if at all.
What can Toronto do to separate itself? Well…

The Leafs lose to the Habs, and in doing so, might not get to play the Habs. Wait - what?
