In part two of our Q&A, James tells us about his snowboarding trip, plans for playing new songs at this summer's shows and his recent karaoke adventures...
Where are you going snowboarding?
I'm going to France. I'm well stoked to be going again. I missed out last year 'cause I was touring.
Do you have to watch your wrists and things? Aren't musicians meant to go easy on that sort of thing?
Yeah, well I only seem to hurt myself when I'm trying to be safe. When I'm living on the edge, I'm usually alright! I think that's the way it works with me. And if you get too comfortable, you need to shake yourself up. Remember why you're alive. That's why I do it. I like kind of shitting myself about it.
Are you a good snowboarder?
I'm good enough to feel good about going again and again, yeah. I am a bit clumsy, but I only go because I think I can eventually be pretty good at it. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. My pride's on the line!
After all those months of being out on the road, and people recognising you and cheering you, do you enjoy the anonymity of being normal again?
Yeah, I do. I mean, if a whole year went by and no-one even noticed me, I'd probably feel like I needed to get my face out there again! It's a weird thing, because when it's there, you don't want it, then when it's gone, you do. But I think generally, over the years, I think I enjoy it more when I don't get recognised. When I'm on tour and playing the gigs it's always been about the music for me, and if people recognise me because of my music, then great. But if they just recognise me 'cause I've been on the telly or whatever, that's annoying.
Do you get invited to things like film premieres? You don't seem to do much of that.
Yeah, I get invited to quite a few things, but they're not normally my cup of tea. Like cricket or football or a tennis final. Quite good stuff, but not anything that I'm really interested in. I went to that Batman premiere, which was pretty cool for me, 'cause I was well into superheroes and drawing and comics when I was a kid. But generally I feel more uncomfortable in those situations because I always feel like I'm meant to be something more than I am. But when I'm at home, I just enjoy being at home. And I think the more time I spend at home, the more it makes me feel comfortable in those situations, because I'm more grounded again.
Do you miss performing when you're not doing touring?
I do in a way. Like I've been to a few bars and clubs where there's been a band up and I've thought, 'Oh I wanna get up and sing a song!" I think that's probably just my ego or whatever! I did karaoke recently too.
Yeah, I did Gangsta's Paradise, because it was the only one I knew all the way through out of all the songs that I thought I could pull off. I didn't wanna do it showy offy, so I tried to pick something that would make me look a bit of a dick. But the whole pub just went silent like they were really watching me intensely! It was a bit too much! But, generally, I'm enjoying not playing. I did so many gigs on the last tour. I've got a poster of all the gigs that we did in one year and it's like a hundred or something. When I look at it, I'm like "How did I get through that?!".
Did you have a good Christmas?
Yeah, it was good. Quite quiet to be honest. I took Elsie to Lapland beforehand. She loved it. We went on some husky rides and all that. And then we just chilled out at home over Christmas, 'cause I've only just moved into the place that I'm in, so I just wanted a quiet one. I'm used to Christmas being chaos and it was quite weird having it so calm!
Did you cook? *Can* you cook?
Yeah, I can cook. But generally I haven't been cooking much at all. If all my family came here, I would be, though.
Seen any good films recently?
I've watched quite a few, 'cause I've been on planes and stuff. Like the new Total Recall. But nothing that's really moved me on a deep level, which is always what I'm looking for.
Do you watch a lot of telly?
I've been watching a bit more, but it's just bullshit, really! And I've watched more children's TV cos of my little girl, like Mr Tumble! And I've seen Snow White about eight times. That's what you get when you're a dad. I know all the lines in Snow White now.
How old is your daughter now?
She's four. But we try not to let her watch it too much. I didn't. It's good to use your imagination, or take the dog for a walk, or whatever.
Do you do any sport or anything to keep fit?
I have been. But then I was ill for a bit so I got off it. But I got all my boxing stuff out, and I've got weights. I need to get back on it before my snowboarding trip.
Sounds like you've got pretty much everything you need in your house. You don't need to leave it ever.
Haha! Well, that's what I'm trying to do, so that I can become the agoraphobic that I've always wanted to be! I'm joking. But I like the idea of having it at my disposal.
You live out in the country. Do you miss city life at all?
Not at all. I miss the handiness of having good shops nearby and stuff like that, but I enjoy being rural and going to the local shop. It's a different feeling from a city, where you don't get that personal touch. Just stupid stuff like knowing the guy in the shop and recognising faces, rather than just drifting through London anonymously.
And you've already got some gigs planned for the summer.
Yeah, that's right. I think by then I'll probably be looking forward to doing something. And hopefully, if all goes well, I'll have some things that I can try out.
Are you happy to play songs live before you've recorded them?
Well, only if they're tried and tested in the studio. And maybe play them in front of a few people before I try them out on stage, definitely. I'm not *that* confident. I'm still learning a lot from writing and stuff. So I don't just wanna go out there and play something that's a load of shit. But if I really like it, then yeah, I'll do it. I'm certainly hoping that I will be able to play people some new stuff at those shows.

In her article on the science of criminal profiling (28 August, p 42), Laura Spinney quotes studies that play the game of testing the profilers' predictions. However, the serious scientific question in criminal profiling is: what reliable inferences can be made about criminals from how, where and when they commit crimes?
As with all scientific inferences, the task is to determine under what conditions any relationships hold. This task is faced by anyone trying to understand and predict human behaviour, not just those seeking to advise the police.
To further the utilisation of psychology in criminal investigations, the field of investigative psychology has been developed, which should avoid the pitfalls and myths associated with "profiling". The field deals with the challenges of how to use the information available to detectives, developing inference models and using the resulting conclusions to aid decision-making. Many studies in investigative psychology have now taken ...

Korg Monotribe System Update Adds CV/Gate Control
Several readers let us know about an update to the firmware for the Korg Monotribe that adds CV/Gate control:
Korg Japan have released a new system firmware, version 2.11, for the Korg Monotribe that adds a mode to control the Monotribe with analog control voltage and gate signals.
In CV/Gate mode, the Monotribe receives the CV/Gate signals from a 3.5mm four-connector TRRS plug inserted into the Sync In jack. A Monotribe with the update applied supports both exponential V/Oct and linear Hz/V control voltages, as well as positive and inverted gate signals.
Turning the octave select switch while in CV/Gate mode will transpose any incoming pitch signals up and down by octaves.
Here are some videos that demonstrate the new CV/Gate mode for the Korg Monotribe: Continue reading

A recent article posted in Quintessential Careers from Susan Jepson, Director of National Senior Networks, makes me think of how jobseekers of any age need to display a positive attitude. Susan writes about how mature workers need to address the interview, hone their technology skills, and seek help from career professionals.
In her article, Mature Job-Seekers: Are You Practicing Reverse Age Discrimination in Your Job Hunt?, Susan's first assertion is that mature workers must not come across as having an attitude.
"Without intending to, or without knowing it, mature workers can come across as arrogant, condescending; that behavior can invite rejection," she writes.
Susan's article reminds me that a negative attitude isn't inclusive of just older jobseekers. One's negative attitude shows itself in many of one's mannerisms. Demonstrations of your mannerisms precedes any opportunity to appear before an employer. Failing to control your mannerisms can prevent you from getting to the interview. Below are some signs of a negative attitude. These are things you should keep in mind when going out in public.
Arrogance impresses no one. You may have been outstanding at what you did, and you may be outstanding in the future, but keep in mind that dipomacy is your best card at this time. You will be relying on many people to help you in your job search, and most people don't appreciate being looked down upon.
Apparel is one aspect of your attitude. During the summer it's hot out there, but please refrain from wearing gym shorts and tee-shirts with Budweiser advertisements. At all times make sure you are well-groomed and presentable–you never know when a potential employer might be just around the corner.
Your countenance is more noticeable than you think. I've witnessed people who walk into the career center looking as if they'd like to strike anyone in their path. Their mouth looks like it was chiseled into a constant frown. There seems to be hatred in their eyes. This can be intimidating, let alone off-putting.
Be outgoing…or at least fake it. For you introverts (I can relate), try to use every opportunity to network. Your most vital job search technique must include networking. It's not as hard as it appears. You don't have to see networking as only going to arranged events. It's a daily thing and that's why you have to be on your game every day. One jobseeker I know told me he was meeting someone for lunch, and he was dreading it. Nonetheless, he met the person for lunch. He faked it.
Mind your manners. "Thank you," "it was great seeing you," "hope your day is wonderful," etc., go a long way. These are things we learned in Kindergarten, yet not all of us practice the niceties as much as we should. I am often thanked by customers after a workshop or in an e-mail. They're the ones who do the hard work, and their hard work will result in a job.
Offer advice. I personally appreciate it when people tell me what I've done wrong, or what would work better…as long as it's constructive criticism. This is another part of our persona that people notice. Good, honest advice delivered in a polite manner is priceless.
Don't appear desperate and despondent. Most people want to help you, but if you seem like you are giving up the battle, your peers, career advisors, and people employed in your industry, will doubt your ability to succeed at your next job. "Don't let 'em see you sweat."
Why does this matter?
Simply, your job search is ongoing. You are being judged, regardless of your age, wherever you go. The man or woman who has the authority to hire you, may be standing behind you in the checkout line. Those who try to help you take into account the aforementioned aspects of your overall attitude. If given the choice to recommend someone for a position, anyone is likely to back the person who has their attitude in check.
As I've said, maintaining a pleasant demeanor and appearing positive is difficult under an extremely stressful situation like being unemployed; but I'll guarantee you that a negative approach to conquering unemployment will not lead to quick employment. Be mindful at all times how you appear to others.

My website is http://www.meadowbrookglitter.com/meadow
I have a pulsate effect applied to part of the menu. I don't want the whole menu to fade in and out. I don't want the text to have the effect.
The code that I have so far is this;
$('#menu-item-429.menu-item-type-post_type.menu-item-object-page.menu-item-429′).effect("pulsate", { times:2000 }, 3000);
apply it to the links, the a tags. Then it should only be the link.
Great looking site, by the way! I couldn't have done better!
Thanks man, I tried that but it doesn't seem to work…
it looks like the jquery is animating the opacity, which effects the entire element. i think what you really want is to set the background color using an RGBa value and animate the a (alpha) value.
check this out: http://pioupioum.fr/sandbox/jquery-color/
Okay let's try this.
Set the background of the li element the way you want it. Set the width and height and everything.
Now set the background of the a link to transparent, and have it cover the whole li element.
Now apply your jQuery to the a link.
@dfogge, that's not quite what I perceive the OP wants. I think he's asking to get the text fading in and out, or is the background?
i could definitely be wrong but i think it's the background he's referring to due to the part where he says "I don't want the text to have the effect."

If you want to put your tech skills to work in healthcare, here's a high-growth opportunity.
#32 Best Job in America for 2015 according to U.S. News & World Report!
Radiologic technologists operate X-ray machines, and with additional training use digital mammography machines, computed tomography (CT) machines, as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners and other types of medical imaging equipment. Their responsibilities include:
- Preparing the patient for the exam by explaining the procedure.
- Positioning patients so that the parts of the body can be appropriately radiographed.
- Setting controls on the machine to produce images of the appropriate density, detail, and contrast.
- Placing the imaging plate under the part of the patient's body to be examined and make the exposure.
- Using a computer to develop and manage x-ray images.
- Providing basic patient care.
Radiologic technologists must follow physicians' orders precisely and conform to regulations concerning the use of radiation to protect themselves, their patients, and their coworkers from unnecessary exposure.
A great career field for those who like people, technology, and science.
Radiologic technologists are on their feet for long periods of time and have to help or lift disabled patients. Although there are some radiation hazards, these are minimized by the use of lead aprons, gloves, and other shielding devices. In addition, technologists wear badges that measure radiation levels in their work area and detailed records are kept on their cumulative lifetime dose. Technologists must be able to move, push, and manipulate equipment. They must also be comfortable working on a computer.
A career as a radiologic technologist could be right for you, if you:
- Like to work with people.
- Are interested in the human body.
- Enjoy working with technology.
- Are detail oriented.
- Like clear guidelines.
- Trust facts.
- Have good people and communication skills.

Associate of Science in Radiological Technology Gainful Employment
What are the career opportunities in this field?
Radiologic Technology Career Paths
Radiologic technologists who are willing to relocate and who also are experienced in more than one diagnostic imaging procedure – such as CT, MR, and mammography – will have the best employment opportunities as employers seek to control costs by using multi-credentialed employees. Radiographers may specialize in more complex imaging procedures including:
- Fluoroscopy
- Computed Tomography (CT)
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- Mammography
- Angiography
- Supervisor
- Chief radiologic technologist
- Department administrator or director – Depending on the institution, courses or a master's degree in business or health administration may be necessary for the director's position
- Instructors or directors in radiologic technology programs
- Sales representatives
- Instructors with equipment manufacturers
Work Environment
Most full-time radiologic technologists work about 40 hours a week. They may, however, have evening, weekend, or on-call hours. Opportunities for part-time and shift work also are available.
Although hospitals will remain the principal employer of radiologic technologists, a number of new jobs will be found in offices of physicians and diagnostic imaging centers. Health facilities such as these are expected to grow through 2018, because of the shift toward outpatient care, encouraged by third-party payers and made possible by technological advances that permit more procedures to be performed outside the hospital. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of radiologic technologists is expected to increase by about 28% from 2010 to 2020, which is faster than the average for all occupations.

On Monday Ant will be 3 years old. It has gone by so fast. Last year around this time I got very depressed about not being pregnant with our second child and knowing we were several years away was a hard pill to swallow. Some how I got passed it and have been enjoying life.
At the end of January my Grandma passed. She was my last living grandparent and I still haven't dealt with this loss yet. Ant and I flew home to spend time with my family and it was great but my younger sister is pregnant with her third and see her pregnant is very hard for me. I am so jealous of how easy it is for her to conceive.
This trip has reignited my desire and want for a second child coupled with Ant's birthday has made it even harder. Most the time I am staying positive but the soonest we will be able to start again is next year around this time. It is hard being patient.

"I had taken Arabic for more than a year at a couple of other institutions before enrolling here. I wasn't expecting to learn that much in the first year of a program that only meets once a week, but was totally wrong. A lot of material is covered in the first year but the pace of the class is such that everything is explained in detail and Shaykh Khalid makes the effort that everyone's on board."Basit, New Jersey (Essentials PLUS Student)

(Some) very basic issues on taharah and salah which I sometimes overlooked before taking this course are now more clear in my mind.

"The best aspect of this course, in my opinion, is the sincerity and quality of teachers. They are very dedicated, learned, sincere and punctual. They were always available to help even after class hours. Time and again I emailed questions and got answers immediately. It's hard to find such level of dedication."Omer, Arizona (Essentials PLUS Student)

=== "Arturopoligists" make flawed case for Canastota ===
By Lyle Fitzsimmons
Cape Coral, FL - As a Cincinnati Reds fan, I've been saying it for 25 years.
Though he's long been known for a loathsome personality, one Peter Edward Rose
has more hits than anyone else who's ever played major league baseball. Which
means, without his plaque on the wall in the bucolic enclave of Cooperstown,
N.Y., the National Baseball Hall of Fame is a fraud.
Meanwhile, just 69 miles northwest in the Syracuse suburb of Canastota,
another such statement can be made about the home of stars in another sport.
Though he had a career most would envy, if Arturo Gatti makes it onto the wall
there next year, then the International Boxing Hall of Fame is an abject
And with apologies to election-season poll heads, "likeability factor" should
have nothing to do it.
While Rose is by consensus a lying egomaniac with a bloated sense of self, his
performance on the field is measurably as good as anyone who's ever gripped a
bat. It's a stark contrast to Gatti, who admittedly thrilled a generation of
wide-eyed fans, but fell flat -- literally -- against the best of his peers.
Rose -- a rookie of the year, an MVP, a three-time batting champion and a 17-
time all-star -- has been barred from enshrinement for more than two decades
by voting rules concocted to punish him for being defiant, rather than
reverential, when it came to explaining off-field foibles.
At the same time, Gatti's admirable accomplishments -- five defenses of
alphabet titles in two weight classes -- are raised to legend by the Jersey
Shore set because he tended to wobble and bleed a lot before rallying to beat
fighters who'd never caught a whiff of a pound-for-pound list.
Whether or not you can stomach baseball, the comparison is valid. And if my
fellow boxing voters lean on car-crash nostalgia rather than cold, hard logic,
the symbolic blood on their keyboards will be as red as that which has caked
under holier-than-thou major-league fingernails for two decades.
While the baseball case for Rose can be made with barely a glance at his body
of work, the only way to justify "Thunder's" inclusion in 2013 is by waxing
poetic about ambiance in Atlantic City and holding seances in the flickering
DVR glow of train wrecks with Micky Ward, Ivan Robinson and Gabriel Ruelas.
"But those were all named fights of the year," the enraptured masses wail,
mentioning neither that the foes were light years from elite, nor that Gatti
actually lost two of the brawls. "And he was part of three rounds of the
year," they cry, though their hero, too, was a measly 1-for-3 in those fights.
Devotion, to them, apparently trumps disclosure.
No matter how it's inspired, the induction dossier for Gatti hardly goes
beyond a revisionist history recap of a run that was really big on highlights,
really small on greatness. And once past the claims that Gatti was both an
action fighter and very popular on his adopted home turf -- neither of which
is up for a vote, by the way -- the "Arturopoligists" have precious little
else with which to buttress their cases.
Hey, don't get me wrong. If all we're talkin' about here is a barroom nook to
honor the greatest Italians to ever crack a few skulls in the Garden State, I
concede my cohorts' lingering man-crushes are enough for me to say
"fuggedaboutit" to dissent.
But when it comes to halls of fame, there really ought to be something more,
don't you think?
Something more than never being undisputed? Something more than never being a
pound-for-pounder? Something more than half of what Felix Sturm totaled in
terms of title defenses?
And something more than sycophants simply insisting he had more heart, courage
and guts than contemporaries, simply because he got hit a lot more and fell
down twice as much?
It's the sort of popularity contest mentality that chips away at Canastota's
remaining relevance.
Whether he drew crowds of dozens or thousands and whether he played rooms in
Jersey or Joliet, a fighter ought to be judged on his acumen, his
accomplishments and the level of his adversaries. He needn't have won every
fight or looked good in every triumph, but at the end of the day, it should be
a no-brainer that he meets the litmus test of "Was he one of his generation?s
Take away dramatics against guys of his ilk, and the answer for Gatti is a
resounding "Hell, no!"
He was only one of the best at 130 in the days of Nelson and Hernandez, and
got pounded far below that depth when he wandered from the Branco/Dorin/Leija
wading pool to the Mayweather Jr. deep end at 140 a few years later. A
contrived resurgence at welter was a flop as well -- save for a defeat of
forgettable Dane Thomas Damgaard -- and it ultimately ended not in a
unification coronation, but with consecutive "somebody ought to stop this"
losses to guys barely graduated from reality TV.
If you can find me a Hall-worthy stretch in any of that, I'd love to see it.
But in truth, he was a lot closer to 20-lap feature night at the local
fairgrounds than the Indianapolis 500, and a lot nearer to Spider Rico than he
ever got to "Italian Stallion." And if he'd have ever actually tangled with
the real-life likes of Apollo Creed, they'd have never needed a second movie.
This week's title-fight schedule:
IBF/WBO junior featherweight titles - Carson, Calif.

Dear Fellow Montanan,
I am writing today to alert you to a sophisticated credit card scam that is targeting Montanans.
It works like this:
- A caller phones you and claims to be with your credit card company. The caller claims unusual charges have been made on your account and he or she wants to "verify" them. The caller usually lists three or four charges, totaling thousands of dollars, and asks if they are correct.
- The caller then says he or she believes you have been the victim of credit card fraud and gives you a number to call to "clear up" the charges – a number that will only draw you further into the scam.
- The scam takes several forms. In the one circulating in Montana now, the person who answers your call eventually claims to have cleared your account of the charges. Some victims have been asked to call back more than once to give the individual "time to investigate" and clear the fraudulent charges from your account.
- At some point, the scammer asks for your credit card number and three-digit security code. In other versions of the scam, the caller already has your credit card number and is seeking only your three-digit security code. Once the scammer has that information, he or she begins to charge things on your card.
Betty Husted of Missoula was hit by this scam last month and shared her story with my office here. [link] This scam succeeds because it sounds real. Many of us have received legitimate calls from a credit or debit card company making protective inquiries into our accounts.
Be suspicious of anyone who requests your credit card number, security code or card expiration date over the phone. Many banks monitor their customers' credit cards for unusual activity and will contact a customer if they suspect fraud has been committed, but banks never ask for your personal credit card information over the phone. They don't need that information; they already have it. If you receive a phone call about suspected credit card fraud, do not give out your personal credit card information. If at any point, you become suspicious of the call, hang up and call the 1-800 number on your credit card or the number of the bank that issued the card.
Please forward this information on to others. Scams move quickly and the best way to defeat them is through information to prevent them before they occur.
If you or someone you know has been targeted by this scam, please contact my Office of Consumer Protection at 1-800-481-6896 and report it. You can also report scams online here at our website.
Thanks for your time,
Steve Bullock
Montana Attorney General

EPILEPSY's unpredictable side could soon be a thing of the past. A new brain implant can warn of seizures minutes before they occur, helping people with the condition stay safe.
Epileptic seizures are triggered by erratic brain activity and usually last no longer than a few minutes. Their unpredictability makes them hazardous and disruptive for people with the condition, says Mark Cook of the University of Melbourne in Australia. Like earthquakes, "you can't stop them, but if you knew when one was going to happen, you could prepare", he says.
Cook and his colleagues have developed a brain implant – a small patch of electrodes that measures brainwaves – to do just that. Over time, the device's software learns patterns of activity that indicate a seizure is about to happen. When it detects such a pattern, the implant transmits a signal through a wire to a receiver implanted under the collarbone. This unit alerts the wearer by wirelessly activating a handheld gadget with warning lights – a red light, for example, signals that a seizure is imminent.
Cook's team tested the device in 15 people with epilepsy over four months. In 11 of them, the system predicted at least 65 per cent of seizures, giving at least four minutes' warning of each. In two of these people, it predicted every seizure. But it didn't work well in four people, two of whom experienced side effects (Lancet Neurology, doi.org/mfg).
Advance notice of seizures could give people a chance to stop driving or withdraw from potentially embarrassing social situations and generally avoid hazards, says Cook. "Just being able to predict them could improve people's independence enormously," he says.
Theoden Netoff at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis agrees. "It may be life-changing even if it has limited predictive power," he says.
The device could also be linked to deep-brain-stimulation implants, which deliver small electric currents to the brain to halt seizures. Being able to trigger implants in advance might stop seizures before they happen, says Cook.

Civil forfeiture law could result in hotel owners losing their business
9 Responses to Civil forfeiture law could result in hotel owners losing their business
That is why I tell everyone that it is cheaper to rent than to own a home.
1. The landlord pays for all maintenance, on the property.
2. The landlord pays for insurance to insure his property. The renter can get low cost renters insurance.
3. The landlord pays all State, County and Local Taxes.
4. The landlord pays for all sewer fees.
5. The landlord pays all special assessments in a Condominium.
6. If the landlord keeps raising the rent, you can always find another place to stay.
7. If you like moving from place to place, all you have to do is store your property temporarily.
8. Renting teaches you to live simply, and not accumulate junk
9. Money that is used to pay the mortgage only makes the bankers rich.
10. Homes are overpriced, and built to a building code standard of D-.
11. Realtors rip off the buyers in commissions by doing a D- job. So do the Home inspection services.
12. Insurance company's reimburse property owners cents on the dollar when the homeowner files a claim (depreciation)
13. Try collecting for flood damage from a hurricane from an insurance company.
With these kinds of civil forfeiture Laws that allow the Government to seize your property, it makes no sense to own a property.
It is another one of those Urban Myths that has been perpetuated by the Bankers, Realtors, Insurance Companies, and the Government.
If you look at your Deed you will see that you are listed as a tenant , unless you have the land patent updated into your name you are just renting so they can do whatever they want .
So the idea is this let everyone rent no one own …because the only people who you should own .. have multiple sky scrappers (by the time americans with quasi-patroitism take over everything like your reserve bank your kids will swear for you on your tomb stone)

civil forfeiture = code for the gov stealing your shit
Police Asset Forfeiture Squads Out of Control!
Like a spreading plague, media reports of Police using Civil Asset Forfeiture to seize property from innocent owners is frightening off buyers of motels, bars, restaurants; residential rental property. Investors and property owners increasingly believe they are sitting ducks for police to confiscate their property. Investors have noted the publicized civil asset forfeiture of Motel Caswell by Federal & Local Law Enforcement Agencies from the Caswell family that owned and operated the motel for two generations. The Caswells cooperated with police to abate infrequent drug problems at their motel caused by guests. This family Motel was free and clear and provided police a target for asset forfeiture. See: "United States v. 434 Main Street, Tewksbury, Mass."
Bars, restaurant and rental property owners increasingly fear police; strongly believe police can make it a point—to shut down or seize any bar, restaurant, motel or residential rental property by arresting a customer or tenant unbeknownst to the owner—possessing or distributing drugs; or by undercover police / informants steering drug sales or buys onto private property to forfeit it. Some owners of bars, restaurants and rental property have become police informants, report on their customers—in the erroneous belief police won't target their business or property. There are more than 350 laws and violations that can subject property to government asset forfeiture. Government civil asset forfeiture requires only a civil preponderance of evidence for police to forfeit property, little more than hearsay. No one need be charged with a crime. Corrupt Police can create hearsay. If police civil forfeiture abuse is not brought under control it is foreseeable many Americans will be afraid to own real and personal property that comes in contact with the public.
It is understandable more business and rental property owners fear police. Almost every week, national news reports police, including high-ranking police and sheriffs being arrested for selling drugs, robbing, extorting or protecting drug dealers, planting evidence; and perjury to send innocent persons to prison.
Police are in the end, human beings,subject to the effects of greed… just like politicians who are responsible for legislating the laws that defend these injustices. If the laws were changed to where there has to be a crime committed, it would be easy for police to invent a crime to implement seizure. since 9-1-1-,americans have had their rights eroded until we are guilty until we can prove that we are innocent. Just try to prove your innocence in a U.S.court of law…unless you 1. are a lawyer 2. have untold sums of money 3.are a cop,or4. flee chaces are you will be proven guilty by means of a cops word over your own..we have lots of empty private prisons that need to be filled! cops are the only ones who seem to be bucking the recession trend..how is this so? Most are high school bullies with a chip on their shoulders.. but they all seem to be living well above their means, while getting away with behaving like storm troopers. free cars, free rent ,free drugs,you name it, they have it.While you have none of these, and are guilty of some made up infraction of the law. So wear your seatbelt america we have to find some way to facilitate this kind of police behaviour!
The answer to civil forfeiture may well be revolution. Will it happen? I don't know. Should it happen? Well, I'm not 100% sure the time has come. But would the founding fathers have put up with even a fraction of what Americans put up today? Obviously not. They would have stormed the White House by now and set up a new free republic. Think about it. Maybe, just maybe, Jefferson would have said something like this: "Do not talk to the police. And don't vote, except for someone who proves he or she is for our rights. Don't join the armed forces or the police. Join a militia instead. Get trained to fight the tyrants in government at all levels." Are we there yet? Maybe. It sure looks like it to some.

Hedda Gabler
Adapted by The Wild Duck from the play by Henrik Ibsen
Directed by David Lawrence
The Comfort Hotel Wellington season
at BATS Theatre, 1 Kent Tce, Wellington
From 15 Apr 2009 to 2 May 2009
Reviewed by John Smythe, 16 Apr 2009
Why? Because an actress - who has, as it happens, been BATS' Business Manager for four years and is now heading off overseas - has always wanted to play the title role. Which is not, in itself, a good enough reason. But it's as good a starting point as any, provided it produces a result that engages us in the themes and content of the play. And it does.
One especially interesting aspect of this group-devised adaptation - set in modern day Wellington, rendered in everyday language and directed by David Lawrence - is that it is not a 'star vehicle'. It places Hedda and her frustrations in a highly credible modern world that is not editorially prejudged, i.e. the suburbs, marriage and academia are not portrayed as stultifying and therefore worthy of her contempt (and ours).
Hedda, her anthropologist husband of six months Jörgen (George) Tesman, their lawyer friend and neighbour Max Brack, and the intellectual 'nomad' with a drink and drugs problem 'Eliot' Løveborg, all went to Victoria University together. And now they are attempting to consolidate who they are by what they do with their lives.
But Hedda has no purpose, no plan, no strategy for fulfilment. While she was the most popular, and intimidating, girl at school, and attracted a coterie of admirers at varsity, she has gone and married the fellow student who walked her home to Aro Valley because she felt sorry for him, he promised to look after her and she lacks the courage to claim her independence and settle on her own vocation.
Now, after a six-month so-called honeymoon in Guam and despite her new home being the very place she once told Jörgen she dreamed of living in, she is bored and is mindlessly inclined to fill the vacuum by punishing the credit card they can no longer afford to have.
In a prologue, Clare Kerrison links her own family history to Hedda's romantic mind-set by brandishing a pair of duelling pistols and telling us, in breathless tones, of the Great Great Great Great Grandfather* who used one to shoot a man in Bowen Street, more specifically in the groin. She clearly finds it outrageously exciting: "Even in 1844, who does that kind of thing?"
It emerges that what people might think constantly vies with her desire to break out - but to where, for what ...? She admits to being a coward and admires those with the courage to make a commitment to something, even if it is to end it all with a flourish. Her sudden, irrational, destructive urges are counterpointed with vulnerable moments of need for connection and meaning that all too quickly morph into envy and distain.
Kerrison has a clear handle on all this and exposes the heart of Hedda more in vivid flashes than in repose (if that's the right word for Hedda). On opening night I was a little unsure as to whether it was the character or the actress who sometimes seemed to be on the outside looking in but on reflection I see it as the character.
This Hedda does not so much feel stifled and trapped (the usual interpretation) as lost in a world where the freedom to be whatever you want can be daunting in itself. The question is, is the behaviour this state engenders a madness that could/should be medicated or the logical outcome of a value system that has somehow failed to get rooted in the realities of life?
Brack has settled into a law firm. Clearly gay ("You know how I like to come in the back way"), he is fiercely loyal and protective towards his 'fag hag' girl friend Hedda. As epitomised with wit and panache by Salesi Le'ota, he is fun yet dangerous, soft yet sharp, sophisticated yet savage: not someone you'd want to cross.
Tesman, for whom Brack is hosting a belated stag party, has spent most of his honeymoon checking out ancient artefacts in Guam and now has expectations of a permanent appointment to a lectureship at Vic. The boyish innocence Asalemo Tofete brings to Tesman's commitments - to his work, his Samoan culture and, of course, to Hedda - is a refreshing change from the fusty fusspot that this character so often becomes.
Even the "desperate, alcoholic, drug-addicted fuck up" Ejlert (Eliot) Løvborg has got his act together, thanks to Thea Elvsted, the hitherto bored wife of a Hawkes Bay wine maker, who has dried him out and got him back in touch with his genius. Not only has he written and published a popular book - Dancing With The Stars: a cultural history of the universe - but now he is working on a future-focused sequel; a more substantial 'Stephen Hawking' opus, as compared to the lighter fare of his 'Bill Bryson' effort.
Full-bearded Michael Ness is every inch the reformed alcoholic and the brilliant scholar whose paranoia about digital electronic technology and its capacity to be abused and used against us makes him eschew computers and cellphones for the relative safety of a secretary - Elvsted - who faithfully records his dictated manuscript in longhand. The irony is that this approach produces only one copy and no back-up (which is crucial to the plot, of course).
Amy Tarleton's Thea Elvstead embodies all the determination yet vulnerability of a woman who has at last found her role in life, linked into the highest levels of intellectual enquiry. And as George's sister* Julia Tesman, Tupe Lualua convinces us totally that caring for the old and infirm can be a genuinely fulfilling vocation.
"The only talent I have," says Hedda, "is to bore myself to death." She also defines courage as "the ability to know when it's time to go." And somehow her quest to escape the former makes her idealise the latter, with tragic consequences
The Pacifica dimension of this adaptation, which includes Max Brack as a cousin of the Samoan Tesman's (the ailing Rina is Aunty to them all), adds to Hedda's sense of alienation and offers an allegorical resonance: once part of the dominant settler culture, she now faces more of an identity crisis than those who have belonged to this part of the world for centuries longer and are reclaiming their cultural identities while achieving with confidence in palagi terms.
Names are important in exploring this theme. 'George', whose official name appears to be 'Jörgen' (that's how he's listed in the programme) is delighted when, towards the end of the play, Hedda calls him by the name his sister uses: Saiosi. Ejlert reclaims the correct pronunciation of his name ('Eye-lert' rather than 'Eliot') and talks of returning to Norway. But when Løvborg keeps calling her Hedda Gabler, provocatively, she insists her name is now Hedda Tesman.
It turns out that back in their varsity days, she and Løvborg shared a secret and significant late night experience - drug or alcohol-fuelled? - that has somehow bonded them. This is recalled in a highly stylised poetic duologue that seems to articulate the subtext of their doomed mutual attraction as they look at her honeymoon photos.
Director David Lawrence also employs the stylistic device of a freeze-frame at the end of a scene and/or starting the next by cutting straight into dialogue that's already under way, as it were, thereby dispensing with time-consuming entrances, exits and scene-setting exposition. This, the trimming of text and dispensing with the maid character*, distils the four-act play to a dynamic ninety minutes (no interval).
The key turning points are all Ibsen's: Tesman's fear that Løvborg will score his job; Tesman's utter admiration of Løvborg's new manuscript and awareness he could never achieve such excellence; Hedda's perverse quest for power by tempting Løvborg off the wagon; Løvborg's metamorphosis from focused genius into abusive drunkard and his own worst enemy; the loss of the manuscript and the moral challenges it raises in the hands of Tesman and Hedda; Hedda's gift, to Løvborg, of a duelling pistol ...
The inevitable ugliness of the hoped-for beauty in the outcome is as strong as ever, confirming that this adaptation serves rather than distorts Ibsen's intentions.
Penny Angrick's excellent set, superbly lit by Ulli Briese, evokes a modernised two-storey home with three vertical mirrors in the back wall demanding we see ourselves in this picture.
The conventional style that is usually imposed on Ibsen (some say erroneously) is naturalism. Done well, this can transport us into the characters' reality and command our empathy because we recognise and relate to its compelling exposure of the human condition.
Lawrence tends to use meta-theatrical touches throughout that remind us this is a play, which works especially well with non-naturalistic texts (e.g. Shakespeare). Thus with this Hedda Gabler I find myself more the objective observer than the empathising fellow human.
This may be because the cast are still conscious of what they are doing as co-adapters of the text, and have yet to let themselves be these people in these given circumstances. Or maybe The Wild Duck co-operative is more interested in provoking our objective appraisal of these lives and what they imply.
Either way their Hedda Gabler is thoroughly accessible and a highly stimulating reworking of a play clearly worthy of being called a classic.
*Note: [added 9.15pm 16/4] For the record, the mythologized great great (etc) grandfather replaces the General father of Ibsen's original; Tesman's sister Julia replaces his Aunt Juliane; and the dropping of Berte the servant denotes both our relatively classless society and a capacity to deal with exposition with more flair than Ibsen managed.

I have just seen this Hedda Gabler again. All the stylistic issues are resolved: everyone is fully engaged; it is a superb distillation of humanity and inhumanity made extraordinarily accessible without compromising Ibsen's genius at all. It gives us realism no longer confined by the rigours of naturalism (which many scholars say was never Ibsen's milieu in the first place, especially in his later plays).

(PRWEB) October 03, 2012
On August 31, 2012, TMI International and TACK International concluded their Annual Global Event with the theme "Making our Mark" in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The seven-day event drew more than 150 participants (members of the TMI International Family and TACK International Family) from more than 50 countries around the world. This hallmark Event is a major platform to leverage the diversity of the 2 brands and their people and capitalise on developments throughout the TMI International and TACK International international Network and share new insights, expertise and know-how.
The structure of the Event composed of 8 parallel 3-day BootCamps, 8 parallel Competence Development MasterClasses per day as well as an inspiring Keynote Speaker in the Morning Plenary of every Day of the Event. The culmination of the Event was the TMI International ONE STAR Awards and the TACK International ATTACK Awards that were awarded, during an extravagant Gala Dinner, to recognise this year's outstanding individual performances and winning projects.
An exciting novelty of this year's Event was the 1-Day Asia-Pacific Conference titled Achieving World Class Results through People, Service and Sales, which was organised as an integral, seamless part of the main Event but at the same time open to clients/professionals from the Asia-Pacific countries. This Conference featured prominent Keynote Speakers, Industry Experts and Thought Leaders in sales, customer service and people.
Over 300 participants had the privilege to hear from Ten World-Class Minds - acclaimed, international speakers, 5 best selling authors and leaders, coming from 7 different countries and 4 different continents.
Some of the key tangible take-aways from this high value 1-Day Conference included:
On the final day of the 7 day event, Kostas Hatzigeorgiou, Director of Global Operations, in his closing address, remarked that "The title of this year's Event was: "Making Our Mark". I'm thrilled that we actually brought it to life!
I have seen so many people "making a mark" for others during the Event.
The tangible value that this Event delivered to all participants is the highest testament of the unparallel profundity, uniqueness, depth and breadth of the TMI International KNOW-HOW and the TACK International KNOW-HOW.
At the same time, we were able to experience the outstanding power of the cutting edge know-how of our strategic allies OMG, TrueValue4U, Think! Inc and Idea Navigator.
Even more, we have deeply appreciated the value and opportunities that are made available to us, our clients and the people in our clients' organisations through the newly-established strategic cooperation with the University of East London."
Every member of the TMI International and TACK International Family is inspired, motivated and eager to bring the new know-how and competences in their countries to provide best-in class service and create world-class results and value for their clients and their people!

Payday: The Heist – Demo impressions
Today marks the release of Overkill Software and Sony Online Computer Entertainment's PayDay: The Heist. If you haven't been keeping track of this fantasy first-person shooter involving robbing banks and completing heists then shame on you. Payday: The Heist is currently ready for download right now on PSN (Playstation 3 store) and on STEAM. For this particular article I played the demo on my Playstation 3.
After checking out the menus and whatnot. Before I played a few online matches I noticed the depth this game has integrated into it. Its true this is just an arcade game but it does have layers of depth associated with its gameplay. There is a class system centered around the Assault (massive firepower), Sharpshooter (distance suppress) and Support (support gang, med packs etc). Default guns ae well unlockable guns are different per class. Assault: Mark 11, Crosskill .45 and Brenner 21. Sharpshooter: Locomotive 12G and M308. Support: Bronco .44, Compact-5 and Reinbeck.
Each class truly plays different and comes with its own unique upgrade tree. Reload dampener, speed reloaders, damage increase, sight increase, body armor increase, fire rate increase. Those are just a few of the upgrades I saw while browsing the Upgrades menu. Most importantly each class has a different upgrade tree and the unlocks vary accordingly. Most times each upgrade can or does unlock up to three stages. As far as I know you can't choose which upgrade you unlock. Maybe its possible but from what I saw it seems like there is a specific path regarding unlocks.
There is also a Challenges menu where you can keep track of in-game achievements. Challenges are broken down into Completed or Active. After just my first match I made progress in a few challenges in Payday: The Heist most notably "Me vs. The Law !" where killed 14 cops in my first match but needed 100 to complete it. There is also a full fledged stat menu that keeps tabs on statistics like time played, cash stolen, reputation and favorite heist.
The demo of Payday: The Heist features one map for single player and online multiplayer called First World Bank. Imagine a mega sized bank smack dab in the center of downtown getting robbed in broad daylight? The movie HEAT springs to mind as the opening in-game gameplay scene showed us walking into the bank and holding it up. The matches I played today were 4-player online co-op. The rooms filled up very fast while waiting in the lobbies. Much like Left 4 Dead you pick your class/character before the game begins. You can host or join matches.
The first thing you notice when you actually start playing Payday: The Heist are its average visuals. The graphics just aren't good. They remind me of Battle: Los Angeles which isn't a good thing. Textures looked washed out and muddy. The color palette was decent however. The clown masks were creepy that the protagonists wore. The sound design wasn't that distinct or crisp. The music was good and contributed to a dramatic feeling while you're holding up this mega bank in broad daylight.
The latter paragraph was mostly filled with negatives. Now some positives. The gameplay is really good in Payday: The Heist. The level of cooperation you must facilitate goes beyond games like Left 4 Dead in my opinion. Whether its reviving a crew member, not shooting hostages or laying down protection fire so your crew mamber can crack a safe it was all well designed and fun. Sticking together and doing each specific in-game task properly is paramount. If even one guy does something stupid, the entire heist might be compromised and rightfully so. Payday: The Heist does tend to give off a "realistic" approach to pulling of bank heists in-game.
After you perform a few mini in-game tasks throughout First World Bank the police will start to invade the bank. Snipers, shield wielding cops and cops with heavy firepower will try and not only rescue hostages from inside the bank but kill you as well. The gameplay is challenging and that is why its so important for you to be on the same page as your team (especially in online co-op).
The demo is really good for Payday: The Heist for the fact its replayable online. You can play around with different classes and people till your heart's content. The substandard visuals and sound design do add a sense of low quality but the gameplay more than makes up for any real blemishes this game seems to have. It is a demo when its all said and done and can be either worse or improved experience from what I played. Either way, if you own a Playstation 3 or PC, give Payday: The Heist a go. Thanks for reading.

Still, the competition winners were announced this week, and the effort by Alastair Parvin and Lukas Barry took the prize, with their design for a grass-covered fortress that could be a decent redoubt for a 21st-century Unabomber. Their vision of bucolic brawn and Hardy Boys-style fort building wasn't unique: other entries included a series of underground reed tunnels and an adventure park.
The designs will be on display at the Oxo Tower between 2nd and 6th June.

Castle Rock is a wonderful place to live, work and play. It's a community where the people are as resilient and vibrant as the natural features that surround their home; a place where life-long residents and visitors alike feel they are part of the same tight-knit family. Read more about our Vision for Castle Rock.
Castle Rock, the Gateway to Mount St. Helens, is situated between the Cowlitz River and Interstate 5, located 134 miles south of Seattle and 63 miles north of Portland, Oregon. (Link to map of Castle Rock.) It is the northern most city in Cowlitz County, with a population of 2,120. Spirit Lake Memorial Highway (State Route 504) connects the city to the Mount St. Helens National Monument and Spirit Lake recreation areas – two of the most outstanding tourist attractions in Washington State. The City of Castle Rock received the Association of Washington Cities 2004 Municipal Achievement Gold Medal Award in recognition of the Riverfront Trail Project. Link to our parks department for more information on community parks.
Castle Rock's historic downtown features a wide variety of shops, antique stores, restaurants, and accommodations. Other activities include the Castle Rock Exhibit Hall/Visitor's Information Center – displaying carvings, photographs and exhibits relating to Mount St. Helens.
The town's namesake, a 190-foot-high rock, was a landmark for Cowlitz Indians and Hudson's Bay Company traders as early as 1832. Castle Rock prospered as a Cowlitz River steamboat port and trading center for valley farms. A local sawmill was the first to produce cedar shingles, using the Western red cedar, which grows in abundance in the region.

When 'Extreme Couponing' and 'Jersey Shore' combine...Add to Favorites | Extreme Couponing
Question: What happens when you combine the reality show horrors of "Jersey Shore" and "Extreme Couponing"?
Answer: Really awkward catchphrases.
In this preview for tonight's (Nov. 9) episode of TLC's "Extreme Couponing," one single mom takes the sleazy charm of "Jersey Shore's" most memorable acronyms and awkwardly crams them into a couponing context.
"Are you DTS?" asks 33-year-old Nicole. (Down to save, she means.) She then puts her own, clever twist on "T-shirt time" by informing us that it's "Free stuff time!"
Hey, we don't begrudge her saving techniques (if only we had such patience and time to dedicate to bargain-hunting), but we do begrudge her trying to make DTS happen. It's not going to happen.
Check out Nicole's catchphrases in action below:

Although the act of actually riding waves is obviously the best thing for your surfing, there are a myriad of different exercise routines practiced by surfers in an effort to step up their game in the water. To find out what works for those placing themselves in some of the most physically demanding surf on the North Shore, we spoke with Kauai-native-turned-Oahu transplant JD Irons:
Within the past year we've started a pretty solid workout routine at the Volcom House. KaiBorg leads the workout and there's usually between eight and 16 people in the group. It's basically a CrossFit routine that we do about three times a week. It's a high-intensity workout that utilizes your own body weight to get you fit. So there's a lot of sprinting, push-ups, sit-ups, stuff like that. The point is to get your heart rate up and keep it there while you're working out. The whole routine should only take about 40 to 45 minutes. Here's a sample workout that we do four sets of, with little or no break between exercises:
