At around 10.30 on Saturday 7th January, I arrived in Mount Stuart Square to the magical cry of "action" emanating from around the farthest right-hand corner. As I approached with my 8 year old son Gareth and his best mate William, two armed soldiers dressed in camouflage uniforms marched around the corner towards us, followed by two young lads in suits, each wearing what looked like a hands-free ear-piece. Once rounding the corner they relaxed, as they were apparently now out of shot. We moved to one of the side buildings once we knew it was safe to be nosey, where we had a great view of the proceedings. Billie and David were about 30 feet away from us, between a row of parked cars, waiting for their cue for the re-shoot. As usual, they were happily larking about between scenes, despite the nip in the air.
The scene was re-shot twice more, involving the Doctor and Rose casually walking down the street chatting to one another, with about 30 extras (including policemen and soldiers) going about their daily business. A silver van was seen to be driving down the street, and was also present in the two other scenes I saw.
We overheard via a nearby walkie-talkie that the last shot was a goer and that they were relocating to a neighbouring street. This scene was a close-up discussion between the two leads, and took only 10-15 minutes to shoot - a quick rehearsal, followed by only two takes. It was at this point that I was spotted with my video camera, and I was politely requested to refrain from using it.
By now though, the boys were getting a little restless, not to mention cold. So we took time out to revisit the exhibition, as William hadn't seen it.
Returning about a hour later, and briefly encountering a certain Mr. Farr, we viewed the next scene being shot in another of the Square's very Londonesque streets. This involved much of the same (extras, walking, chatting etc); this time with close-ups and high shots using a crane.
Shortly afterwards, along with the collected crowd, we were ushered out of the street, as despite being quite a distance away we were all in background shot. We decided to call it a day then, because the boys' attention span had been exhausted, and I'd also promised to show them the Bad Wolf graffiti.

Collecting Stories
After both her parents died, Beatriz Gomez was adopted by an American family—a transition that brought her away from the familiarity of Mexico City and into a whole new world. Unable to speak English and unaccustomed to American traditions, Beatriz struggled to adjust to this new way of life.
Now older, Beatriz seeks out other immigrants to help them adapt to life in America—a process that has given her a very different perspective on the obstacles some face to get to the infamous land of opportunity.
This Montpelier, Vt. resident has traveled as far as Canada on her quest to help other Spanish-speaking immigrants. Whether filling out paper work for basic necessities like identification cards (many can't write or don't know English), or simply listening, her mission has been an enlightening experience.
"There are just so many stories," Beatriz says. "There was one person who didn't eat for a week to get here—another who lost his shoes while traveling over the border who had to keep walking without them. They tell me their stories and then they ask me how I got here from Mexico. And I tell them I took a plane. It's hard to know how to feel about something like that."
Through her conversations, Beatriz has discovered that many of the stereotypes about immigrants are inaccurate. In an effort to get out the truth, one of this communications major's goals is to develop a film based on the stories she has collected. She wants to portray not only the sacrifices people have made to make it to America, but also the struggles they endure while trying to live here.
"I think it's very important for people to see and understand what these people actually go through," she says about the project.
This latest project is not the first Beatriz has created about her native country. This past March, Beatriz submitted a video regarding religion in Mexio to the Green Mountain Film Festival, a project that was so well received she continues to field questions about it. Later this month, she plans to return to Mexico to get more footage.
"Every time I go to Mexico I get something new," she says when asked about the subject of this latest piece. "I just want to come back with something to amaze people—with something people don't normally see in America."
After Beatriz graduates in May, she would like to either stay in Burlington (where she recorded her first video) or move to somewhere in Latin America. Her experiences working for Green Mountain College's student-run newspaper The Mountaineer ensures that she could work there as a journalist. Either way, she'd like to continue to help immigrants.
"Helping them makes you so happy in a different kind of way," she says. "It's like a present that you give to yourself."

Who won For The Love Of Ray J last night? Here's a hint: there'll be a lot less of this from now on:
That's right. Fun went up against mature, and fun lost. More on the For The Love Of Ray J finale, plus bonus clips and screen shots from the last episode below.
Poor Platinum. She had so many qualities Ray J wanted in a woman, qualities that he thoughtfully enumerated out loud during their final date in Las Vegas. In short, she was:
- so original
- real
- sexy
- super hot
- but in a mental way too
But there were other things he liked about her as well. She was laid back. She was fun. And, when they were out to dinner on their last night together, she gently made fun of him for not wanting to eat foie gras, which made him appreciate her even more. "She's starting to see my hang ups and she likes every part of me," Ray J said.
Platinum even survived the show's toughest challenge: the dreaded ear exam. But she also let her insecurities show a little bit, telling Ray J that she didn't trust him as much as she could. To be clear, Mz Berry had her own jealous/untrusting streak, but she put it on Ray J to meet that challenge. "I just expect you to control yourself," she told him during their final date.
This was Ray J considering his future with Mz Berry. But Mz Berry was as upfront with her emotions as she was with her expectations.
In fact, she made her feelings pretty clear the entire episode.
Platinum's signals were a little less clear, except for this one. This dress was solely designed to make Mz Berry nervous about Ray J's date with Platinum.
And it worked. Platinum also antagonized Mz Berry by saying she felt hot flashes when she got sick. She asked Mz Berry if that was what menopause felt like.
But Ray J chose Mz Berry over Platinum despite Mz Berry's tendency to get jealous of other women. As he said at the end of the episode, laid-back Platinum reminded him of his past relationships. He wanted to move forward. And this season's winner, Mz Berry, made him think about his future: "Platinum connects with the man I am now, and Mz Berry connects with the man I wanna be."
In the bonus clip above, Platinum predicts that Ray J and Mz Berry won't make it, but also shows that she had no hard feelings toward him.

Leckie works at a commercial laundry, Ensign Services in the Australian Capital Territory.
Leckie's job involves folding towels, washers, sheets and other items. She then counts and bundles the laundry into the correct number of items in each bundle.
Leckie is slower to complete tasks than her peers and can follow simple instructions. She has difficulty concentrating and communicating. This is a result of Down syndrome.
Disability Employment Services provider, Job Solve has assisted Leckie to obtain the job, using the Supported Wage System. Leckie has been able to work full time for over 10 years using the productivity wages allowed under the Supported Wage System.
The productivity based wage has given Leckie an opportunity to work in the competitive labour market and her employer has gained a reliable employee.
In Leckie's case, her productivity was assessed at 70 per cent compared with her peers. This means her employer can legally pay Leckie 70 per cent of award wages.
Through the Supported Wage System eligible people with disability can access a reliable process of productivity based wage assessment to determine fair pay for fair work.
Job Solve also provide ongoing assistance to Leckie and Ensign, including:
fortnightly meetings with Leckie's manager and supervisor to work through any issues
liaison with Leckie's other support providers for transport to and from work.
Leckie and Job Solve hope to continue their relationship with Ensign for years to come.
If you are want to work in the open labour market, but cannot find a job at full wage rates, the Disability Employment Services can help.

I'm sure you've seen those long, long pages with copy that goes on forever. Those pages you need to scroll through screen after screen of copy to even find the price of the item for sale and the form to fill out in order to buy it. Pages with half of the words highlighted in yellow and the more you see them the more they look like spam. Could it be though, that those pages with the long copy actually convert better than pages with shorter copy?
A study I found not to long ago, Long Copy vs. Short Copy Tested would indicate those endless pages do indeed convert better. You might notice the study is almost two years old, but about a week ago I found the authors of this study reiterating the claims of the test in a magazine, having found similar results in studies beyond this one. I've also noticed many very legitimate sites who's copy seems to grow on pages directly selling a product. Take a look at the length of the page where Aaron Wall sells his SEO Book. If Aaron's using long copy I'm confident it works.
I found this test particularly interesting given that conventional wisdom and the advice from every online copywriter I've ever read has always been to make text online short and sweet. People tend to read less online they all say, while skimming more so pages of long copy have generally been advised against.
The long vs short copy test does show a clear indication that longer copy outperforms it's short brethren, though the testers do advise testing for yourself as all sites are different. Especially interesting was the result that shortening the checkout process actually decreased conversions. In this case though the page removed was a product page which I would think would be valuable in selling that product.
As the authors point out quality copy that is short will still convert better than long copy that is poor. This isn't about just adding words to a page so it's longer. You need to have a good reason for all those words, but long copy does give you the ability to answer more questions that a visitor might have and need an answer for in order to make a purchasing decision. And all that highlighting does allow visitors to skim the page, so in a sense you can have shorter copy within your long copy page for anyone who just wants the info quick.
One of the guidelines at the end of the study points out that in general higher priced products tend to require longer copy to convert. That makes sense as people will typically want more information before spending more money. You don't need to convince me much that your $5 product will improve my life. Worst case I'm out $5. But your $1000 product better do a little more convincing and assure me it's worth spending my hard earned dollars.
The study, along with the rest of the Marketing Experiments site, is worth checking out. It hasn't convinced me to arbitrarily increase the length of my copy, but it will make me feel more confident about leaving the copy I write at whatever length it happens to be and not think it needs to be broken up over several pages because it's too long. In then end I'll still go with leaving pages at whatever length they need to be to get the information across.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Sue
"This is a great recipe my Mom used to make. I believe it's a Depression-era recipe since it's made with round steak and flour dumplings. The trick is to let it simmer for a few hours to get the meat fork-tender. From the kitchen of Maureen Dutcher. Enjoy!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds
beef round steak, cut into 1/4-inch thick strips
1 tablespoon
garlic powder
1 teaspoon
salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon
ground black pepper, or to taste
1 (14 ounce) can
beef broth
onion, diced
1 cup
chopped carrot
3 cubes
beef bouillon
2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
baking powder
eggs, beaten
3/4 cup
water, or as needed
I could tell based on the ingredients that it would need more flavour. I added in 1 tsp thyme, 1/2 tsp sage and 1/2 tsp basil. It also seemed it would be extremely salty so instead of both beef broth AND beef bouillon cubes, I used 14oz water, and only 2 beef bouillon cubes. I also chose to toss the meat in the seasonings, w/ 2 Tbsp flour and did a quick sear and transferred the mixture to my crock pot. I deglazed the pan w/ 1/2 cup merlot and added that to the crock pot also. While this is a "great depression" recipe a bit of modifying can make it amazing. I think next time I'll add rosemary and port mushrooms
Very yummy and easy. I thought 1 TB of garlic powder would be too much so I cut it down to 1 tsp. I used canned beef consomme and 2 tsp of beef Better Than Bouillon. It came out just a little too salty. The dumplings are awesome, tender, cream-colored, and just right. I used sliced bottom round. Next time I will sub out the soup for a box of Rachel Ray beef broth, which is excellent stuff. I think it will help cut down the salt. I made it in my cast iron skillet and simmered it for about 2 hours.
7 Ratings
The dumplings were heavy and the meat was tough. I'm not sure how to make fluffy dumplings, but these definitely didn't turn out well.
Extra seasoning needed in the steak such as basil and sage. Add the same dry seasoning used in the steak to the dumplings. Boil the dumplings in equal parts broth and water. Family enjoyed with steamed cabbage.

'Shaloks (English)'
Farida Jo Tai Maaran Mukkiyan…
Farida Jo Tai Maaran Mukkiyan Tinhe Na Maare Ghumm
Aapnare Ghar Jaaiye Pair Tinha De Chumm
Fareed, do not turn around and strike those who strike you with their fists. Kiss their feet, and return to your own home.
Farida kiddi pavandiyi..
Jitt dihaadde dhan vari, saahe laye likhaai,
Malku ji kanni suneeda, muhu dikhaale aayi.
Jindu nimaani kaddiye, hadda ku khaddakaayi,
Saahe likhe na chalni, jindu ku samajhai.
Jindu vahuti marnu var, le jaasi parnaai,
Aapan hatthi jouli kae, kae gali laggae dhai.
Vaalhu niki puraslaat, kani na suniaai,
Farida kiddi pavandiyi, khadda na aapu muhaai.
The day of the bride's wedding is pre-ordained. On that day, the Messenger of Death, of whom she had only heard, comes and shows its face. It breaks the bones of the body and pulls the helpless soul out. That pre-ordained time of marriage cannot be avoided. Explain this to your soul. The soul is the bride, and death is the groom. He will marry her and take her away. After the body sends her away with its own hands, whose neck will it embrace? The bridge to hell is narrower than a hair; haven't you heard of it with your ears? Fareed, the call has come; be careful now – don't let yourself be robbed.
Farida dar darvesi gaakhaddi…
Farida, dar darvesi gaakhaddi chalaan duniya bhati,
Bannih uthaayi potali, kithae vanya ghati.
Farid ji says that it is so difficult for one to be a humble selfless saint at the door of Lord. The ways of the world have tied me up and I have created a bundle of this filth. Where should I throw this bundle?
Farida je tu akal lateefu…
Farida, je tu akal lateefu, kaale likhu na lekhu.
Aapanadde giruvaan mahi, sir nivaan kari dekhu.
Farid ji tells us to stop saying bad of others. Rather, look into your own collar and correct your own vices.
Not every heart is capable
The following couplet was a favorite of Farid's:-
Not every heart is capable of finding the secret of God's love.
There are not pearls in every sea; there is not gold in every mine.
I wish ever to live
A Student asked Baba Farid if singing was lawful and proper. He replied that, according to Islam, it was certainly unlawful, but its propriety was still a matter of discussion. Nizam-ul-dauliya told Nasir-ud-din a disciple of his, that one day when he went to visit Baba Farid he stood at his door, and saw him dancing as he sang the following :-
I wish ever to live in Thy love, O God
If I become the dust under Thy feet, I shall live
I thy slave desire none but Thee in both worlds;
For Thee I will live and for Thee I will die.
Last night sad thoughts
The following sentences are taken from Baba Farid's sermons:-
Last night sad thoughts possessed me,
But afterwards I reflected on my beautiful Lover.
I said I would do everything to go to His door.
My tears ran, and my Lover then caught my sleeve

I use Firefox for my browser, and it does a pretty good job of eliminating password problems. However, I was setting up an old laptop and could not remember the passwords. On going to my mainframe (iMac) I tried to look into Firefox to get a couple passwords.
Try as I might, the Keychain access program doesn't seem to work.
I have never set up new Keys, just use the default one, but I could have sworn that in the past I was able to see the passwords for all my internet links.
Using the Help key was useless...
Any tips?
Thanks for posting, this has actually come in handy for me.
In Firefox's preferences > Security there is a button for saved passwords.
This will list all your sites, selecting show passwords will let you see all the site passwords.
You should get a prompt (as I did) to set a master password, at least now that saved password setting has a master password to protect it now.
Thank... that's what I thought, but on going there, it only lists two sites despite there being a bucket full of sites. None of the sites I regularly visit are there, and no exceptions are selected. No Idea why.

It wasn't exactly Oprah Winfrey and Brad Pitt, but the Democratic Party's official election party in Los Angeles did attract a few celebs.
Joy Bryant, Brad Garrett, David Alan Grier and Chris Tucker were among the thousands who crowded into the Hyatt Century Plaza hotel to celebrate Barack Obama's win.
"I thought it was so good because he won so early and I had just voted three hours before," said Mischa Barton, who hit the party with some friends. "I was just blown away."
An Obama presidency means Barton is staying in the U.S. If John McCain had captured 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Barton said she "probably would have taken my residency out of this country."
So we had to ask: If invited to any inaugural balls, what will she wear?
Interestingly, it won't be an American designer. Instead, Barton cooed, "Something fabulous like Chanel."

Appropriations Bill Rider Threatens Organic Label
Thanks to all of those who have already acted but more help is still needed!
ACTION NEEDED TODAY to Stop the Weakening of Organic Food Production Law. Three quick phone calls.
(February 28, 2003) It is time to make your voice heard to protect the organic law! Join consumers, organic companies, and trade groups from across the county to stop Congress from weakening the standards for organically labeled food.
CALL your two U.S. Senators and one U.S. Representative NOW to either thank them for joining this effort or urging them to co-sponsor this bill. Introduced by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Representative Sam Farr (D-CA), the bill, S.457 "Organic Restoration Act" A bill to remove the limitation on the use of funds to require a farm to feed livestock with organically produced feed to be certified as an organic farm will repeal a provision in appropriations legislation passed by Congress on February 13, 2003.
In its $397 billion Omnibus Appropriations Bill, Congress attached a last-minute rider allowing an exemption to the requirement that organic livestock be fed 100% organic feed. The language allows farmers to feed livestock conventional feed if organic feed is more than twice as expensive and still label the meat as organic.
Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), the original co-sponsor of the 1990 Organic Foods Production Act, announced at the time that he would launch an effort to repeal the rider and restore the intent of the law. A repeal bill will be introduced today by Senator Leahy and Representative Sam Farr (D-CA), who are seeking co-sponsors in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. The bill will stop the weakening of the organic label by repealing Section 771 of the Omnibus Appropriations Bill.
Consumers and supporters of organic food are a powerful force behind a $10 billion organic industry. They showed their influence in Washington, DC, when in 2000 a record number of people stopped a U.S. Department of Agriculture proposal to allow in organic production genetically engineered organisms, sewage sludge, and irradiation.
Two websites provide additional information that can assist you further with this effort, http://www.ota.com/SUAaction.htm and http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/issues/org_feed02-03.html.
Also see an article in The New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/02/27/politics/27FOOD.html
To read the exact language of the rider, see http://www.ota.com/FeedLanguage.htm.
The bill, introduced February 26, 2003 has 41 cosponsors including:
Arizona: John McCain
If you have any questions, please contact Jay Feldman or Jessica Lunsford.

Ted discusses the first face of WITI. Stu Armstrong was the first person who ever appeared on WITI FOX6, and we've learned he passed away last month at the age of 88.
Ted had the great honor of talking with Stu in 2006 when WITI was celebrating its 50th anniversary.
May 21st, 1956, Wisconsin Independent Television Incorporated (WITI) went on the air, and the first face viewers saw was that of Armstrong, a former football standout from Wauwatosa. Armstrong flew combat missions in the South Pacific during World War II, so he was hardly daunted by live TV.
When Ted asked Armstrong what that first day was like, he said simply "I said 'Hello,' and went right into the news. There wasn't a lot of fanfare.'"
There's a memorial for Stu Armstrong Wednesday, January 11th at the Harwood Place Retirement Community.

Summer BBQ - How to deal with something tactfully
Was invited to a summer bbq this coming weekend. Asked if I could bring anything, hostess said no. Then she sent an email to me this morning not only asking me to bring a dessert, but to make something very particular. I could see a request for something particular if it is something I am known for (ie "Mary, please bring your delicious cheesecake!") but the hostess has asked me to bring something I have never made before that is of a specific ethnic origin that I am unfamiliar with (not hostess ethnicity but theme she is going with for the bbq).
I think this is rude. Should I just suck it up and make the dish? What would you do?
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Not true. You don't know Chip. He puts character above BCS, unlike Miles, who will be lucky if he gets his team's mojo back after this. He shoulda suspended the guys for breaking team rules to show that he, and his team, stand for something more than BCS games.
As a result, he, his team, and you LSU fans have been treated to a week where you look almost as bad as Miami since there's nothing new from that story and this one's had legs all week. Bad call to keep the bum on the team, and Miles might be able to focus that anger against the Ducks, but in the public eye, his team's a villain now. Especially to marines, who are all now loyal Duck fans. Nice job, coach.
Are you guys able to play the Les Miles film? For some reason his won't play for me on this or the other page.
I do have a dog in this fight--and this close to game time, slipping in Mett the Cannon could actually be quite a spark on offense you guys haven't had though our secondary is excellent. Does it seem to you guys like they're being especially careful and nurturing around the players? I saw the footage of their lawyer upset that these boys are scared and crying because of the media. Are all potential criminals coddled or just LSU players?
Jim, here's a question for his show. Thanks for your steady reporting on this.
Coach Miles, Chip Kelly benched his starting CB for a speeding ticket for this game because that's what responsible coaches do. Are you planning to bench your QB Jordan Jefferson for breaking curfew and kicking a marine in the head, and if not, do you think that is how you want to portray LSU football to young men and women who are marines serving overseas?
No, if they got away that night, and sent guys to the hospital, it comes down to violations, misdemeanors, and felonies. As well as team leadership and being good role models for young Louisiana kids.
If the Baton Rouge police postponed this so JJ could play--and that looks likely--then LSU has much more to be ashamed of than a bar fight.
You've got to be kidding me. Nice job, LSU boosters. Looks like the Police'll get that new fishing boat they always wanted.
Stay classy, Baton Rouge.

Whatever you do today, avoid Tysons Corner Mall unless you want to be trampled by hundreds of teenage girls on their way to see Justin Bieber (unless that's your thing).

White Lap Frame is a sturdy, lightweight alternative to embroidery hoops, stretcher bars, tapestry roller frames and more.
Size: 11" x 11"
5 out of 5 found this review helpful.
Recommend: Yes
Brilliant- I have been stitching for a few years and after looking for a suitable frame for needlework, this is perfect. I plan on buying all the sizes to have for future projects.
Was this review helpful? Yes No
Report inappropriate review
After using hoops for years a friend recommended that I try this. It is very easy to put together and once you clamp your project on the frame it holds it nice and firm! I love having more space to stitch without having to move a hoop around constantly.
4 out of 4 found this review helpful.
This is, by far, the best frame I have ever used in 40 years of doing needlework! This one is even better than another brand of this style of frame because this one holds more firmly. This frame will not leave marks on your fabric like traditional hoops do, no matter how long you leave it on. It's much easier to set up than traditional hoops. Unlike scroll frames, this frame holds tight from all 4 sides. This frame is also much easier to tighten up when the fabric loosens up. I'd give this frame 10 stars if I could!

Video:Essential Gadgets for College Studentswith Tim Silva
If you want to pick the right gadgets for college students, our expert will give you some great ideas and pointers. See these suggestions for gadgets for college students.See Transcript
Transcript:Essential Gadgets for College StudentsHi I'm Tim Silva for About.com.
Gadgets for College StudentsWell it's about that time of year. The kids are going back to school. And that means the college kids are going back to college. So today I'm going to talk to you about 3 gadgets no college student should be without.
MP3 Players and iPods for StudentsOK, gadget number one. Well you probably saw this coming. When was the last time you saw a student who wasn't wearing headphones. mp3 players and iPods have become a popular staple of student life. Today's mp3 players and ipods are more than just music players. They can have calendars and reminders and help get your students life organized.
Now you may find an mp3 player on line for instance for as little as $25 or $35. But buyer beware. Remember, you get what you pay for. The cheaper the price, probably the smaller the storage capacity. And you want to be careful too that the sound quality of the unit doesn't deteriorate the sound of the music you enjoy so much.
1 gigabyte of storage will get you just under 250 songs. So 2 gigabytes will get you 500 or just under. In general, expect to pay between $100 and $400 for a good quality mp3 player or iPod.
You can go ahead and shop online from sites you purchased from before and sites that you trust. Or go ahead to your local retail store. Another nice thing about mp3 players and iPods is that these devices are actually small hard drives, which means you can store different kinds of files on them. Like say, digital photos.
Digital Cameras for StudentsAnd that brings us to our number 2 gadget. Some people have said to me "Well my son has a cell phone with him at school and that has a built in digital camera." And the only problem I see with those is that some of them are not very good quality. They tend to take darker pictures and a bit more grainy and a lower resolution. So for under $200 you can get a 7 megapixel digital camera that will take excellent pictures. The resolution is good enough to make fantastic 5x7 quality prints or great quality 8x10 photo prints.
Now you can purchase separate storage cards for the camera and say you get 512 megabyte card that will allow you to store over 200 high resolution photos. The other benefit of a digital camera is that it's actually easier to download the photos from here to a laptop to get access to them than it is from a cell phone. And again, when you're shopping for a digital camera I'd go ahead and use those trusted online sites that you've shopped at before or run over to your local retail stores. There are plenty of selections there, with plenty to choose from.
Portable Hard Drives for StudentsOK, so now what you need to back up all this data, your mp3 and digital music files, your digital photos, brings us to gadget number 3, which is a portable hard drive. Many students can get by with a portable hard drive that will hold between 80 - 100 gigabytes of storage. That's typically plenty of storage to hold typical text and word files and term papers and things like that.
If you have a student who does digital art or works with digital video files they're going to accumulate much larger files. So you might want to look at hard drives that will hold between 200 and 500 gigabytes worth of storage. For under $200 you can get a portable hard drive that's about 500 gigabytes. That's plenty of storage to cover most of your storage needs. That could actually back up an entire laptop.
One thing to look for in portable hard drives is that they usually come in two flavors - USB2.0 or Firewire and that's just your basic connection between the hard drive and your computer. Now PCs typically use the USB 2.0 connection and some also have a Firewire connection. Apple computers typically have both - USB 2.0 and a Firewire connection. If you have a choice I like to go with the Firewire connection. I find a slightly faster transfer speed reading and writing between the portable hard drive and the computer.
So that brings us to the end of our three gadgets for the college student. We have the mp3 player or iPod, the digital camera, and the portable hard drive to help back up all the data that they collect while they're on their journey to knowledge. That's if for now.

There were some tense moments Thursday morning as panicked parents got word a school district in Lycoming County was dismissing early.
Officials said the East Lycoming School District received a threat of some type Thursday morning, leading to the dismissal.
Investigators and school district officials are not saying much about that threat, but students at all four schools in the East Lycoming School District were dismissed early in case the threat was more than just a hoax.
Police and parents were outside the Hughesville Junior Senior High School not long after a threat prompted school officials to send students home at 10:30 a.m.
"If there's a bomb in there or anything, they need to get the kids out of the building," said parent Lisa Wilt.
Concerned for her daughters' safety, she came to get them. The school district contacted parents by phone, letting them know the situation was under control.
"We used our One Call Now system. That is a phone system that automatically contacts parents," said Superintendent Mike Pawlik.
Officials in the East Lycoming School District said they wanted to err on the side of caution when they received the threat early in the school day. Not only did they dismiss students at the Hughesville High School complex but also at elementary schools in Lairdsville and Picture Rocks.
"They said there's some safety issues, that evacuate the building and get home safe," said ninth grader Ian Hufnagle.
Students poured out of the high school headed for home and away from any possible danger while police planned to search the buildings.
At first, ninth grader Julia James said she was somewhat scared when she found out that her school day would be shortened by some sort of threat.
"A little bit. We didn't know what was going on, saw the cop cars outside," James said.
Most parents said they were glad the school district chose to dismiss students, Keri Krause included. She stopped by to take her seventh grade daughter home again.
"As a parent you always have that what if panic attack, but I think everybody's going to be okay except for that one person that's going to get in big trouble," Krause said.
There is still no word what kind of threat led to the early dismissal or whether anything was found in the high school.
East Lycoming School officials said they are still investigating and that school should return to normal Friday.

basically, she will be installing it herself, and it needs to be reeeeeeeally simple. i gather it is undoing a couple of screws, then slotting the card in. i could do it if i was in wales, but that will be a few months unfortunately.
so, are the instructions that come with the card good and easy to follow, for a total newbie, or is a small amount of technical skill needed?
also, how compatible is the card with BT broadband, using the BT hub? i understand it should be fine as an 802.11g netwrok, but i am a pc bod myself, only having been introduced to macs very recently by the lovely lady in question
they are pretty cool aren't they?
thanks for any and all advice in advance

Make sure the emac is disconnected from the mains and placed on a non static surface.
Once the case is removed she will see where the card goes on the motherboard. The built in arial needs to be plugged into the card & the card just pushed into place. It will only fit one way.
Refit the case, plug in & boot up. Click the Blue Apple (top left) and select 'About this Mac'. Click more info>Network>Airport Card. If it's fitted correctly and working it will be displayed. :headphone
Alternatively, find an excuse to pop down to Wales. I'm sure she's 'worth it'!
As for compatability, I've no idea but see no reason why not.

I've been thinking about the concept of happiness quite a bit lately. Maybe it's because I'm growing older and wondering what it's all about, or because I lost my father-in-law this year, or because the world becomes more complex and demanding by the minute. The good news is that science has revealed that we can actually change our brains, making happiness attainable. Two good books about how our brains adapt are The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains by Nicholas Carr, whi
I discovered Emily Bronte in 1992. I wasn't the first to discover her and I won't be the last, but my initial reading of Wuthering Heights during my 17th year was as marvelous a discovery as any. See, Wuthering Heights was written for me. Sure, you've read it, too, but I daresay it's a different book for me than it is for you and that's why people continue to read it and
You know how there are some books that, when you pick them up, you're pretty sure you're only going to read a few pages and then release it back into the wild or to its 2,000 library holds? And then you discover that it is, in fact, one of the best reads ever, and you can't put it down, and you've been completely blindsided by this heretofore-unloved-by-you but now precious-work-of-genius book? No? That's just me?
In the pursuit of exploring my own literature derived masochism, I recently tackled David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest, a notoriously 'difficult' novel. Over 900 pages of narrative combined with 300 pages of footnotes later, I have some very brief, truncated thoughts on the text. These epistles do not represent the whole of the superbly rich experience (an ongoing series into perpetuity could ma
Generally speaking, I love strange people. Let me clarify. I love the quirky, offbeat, and freakishly brilliant. These are people who might obsess over a certain historical figure or know everything imaginable about farming practices during the Neolithic period. They might read 5 books a week on whatever topic has captured their keen attention and then move onto their next area of study. If they were teenagers in the late 1980s, they made hundreds of mix tapes full of songs by unknown bands. While perhaps a bit socially awkward, these kinds of people are both infinitely gifted and g

I have basically said what I am asking in the title. We can discuss what the films would be like and how much better or worse they could have been. I will start by saying:
Bernardo Bertolucci (Days of '36) swaps with Theodoros Angelopoulos (1900/Last Tango in Paris/The Conformist)
Bela Tarr (Taxi Driver) swaps with Martin Scorsese (Damnation) I think this swap would be very interesting, especially Tarr's take on Taxi Driver.
John Ford (For a Few Dollars More) swaps with Sergio Leone (My Darling Clementine)
David Lynch (The Fountain) swaps with Darren Aronofsky (INLAND EMPIRE).
Yep, I'm asking for it…
I (The Trial) swap with Welles (Nothin'). Actually I still haven't seen it, but I think I could do it better. I think Welles' ending contradicts the book's (and the film's? Welles includes the Before the Law story and that's enough) philosophy re passivity and I think that Kafka's absurdity is smothered by a batshit style. I don't claim to be an expert on the book by the way.
Why Tarr for Taxi Driver? Only seen The Man from London and I don't remember it.
Kenneth Branagh (DUNE) swaps with David Lynch (MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN)
Visconti (LOLITA) with Kubrick (THE STRANGER)
Ridley Scott (PLANET OF THE APES) with Tim Burton (HANNIBAL)
Martin Scorsese (The Prestige) swaps with Christopher Nolan (The Departed)
David Fincher (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) swaps with Tomas Alfredson (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo)
[P.S. Love the suggestion of Branagh doing Dune!]
Wiseman (Tie Xi Qu) trades with Wang (Belfast, Maine).
Gosho (Design for Living) trades with Lubitsch (Burden of Life).
Ozu (Doctor Bull) trades with Ford (An Inn in Tokyo).
The Lumiere bros. (At Sea) trade with Hutton (New York Portrait I, II & III).
And most interesting of all…
Tati (Rebels of the Neon God) trades with Tsai (Playtime).
Leone swaps Duck, You Sucker! with Peckinpah for his Straw Dogs.
Fincher swaps The Game with Nolan for his Following
Lang swaps M with Clouzot for his Diabolique
Scorsese swaps Goodfellas with Lumet for his Serpico
Pasolini swaps Teorema with Bunuel for his The Exterminating Angel
Fassbinder swaps In a Year With 13 Moons with Wenders for his Wings of Desire
The Wachowskis swap Speed Racer with Araki for his The Living End
von Trier swaps Breaking the Waves with Paul Thomas Anderson for his Punch-Drunk Love
Kubrick swaps Eyes Wide Shut with Kurosawa for his High and Low
Kaurismaki swaps Shadows in Paradise with Bertolucci for his Last Tango in Paris
oooh i want to see fassbinder's wings of desire!
Angelopoulos (Wings of Desire) swapped with Wenders (Eternity and a Day)
Alfonso Cuaron (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol) swapped with Brad Bird (Children of Men)
James Cameron (Life of Pi) swapped with Ang Lee (Avatar)
David Gordon Green (Chop Shop) swapped with Ramin Bahrani (George Washington)
Martin Scorsese (Schindler's List) swapped with Steven Spielberg (Hugo)
Arthur Penn (Badlands) swapped with Terrence Malick (Bonnie and Clyde)
Bernardo Bertolucci (Once Upon a Time in America) swapped with Sergio Leone (The Last Emperor)
George Lucas (Solaris) swapped with Andrei Tarkosky (THX 1138)
^ Ang Lee's Avatar probably wouldn't be so hard on the eyes, would it?
@Matthew(sic), I think that Tarr's Taxi Driver would be quite cool, not sure why.
George Lucas on Solaris would be great!
Cronenberg (Suicide Club) switch with Sion Sono (Crash).
Cronenberg would add just enough comprehensibility to Suicide Club to make it linger near the area of uncanny, and Sono would add just enough quirk and humor to Crash to make it all feel worth it and not so dispassionate and disinterested.
Lucio Fulci (Ikiru) switch with Akira Kurosawa (The Beyond)
Mamet swaps Oleanna with Haneke for his Cache
Polanski swaps The Ghost Writer with Stone for his The Hand
Takashi Miike swaps Graveyard of Honor with Kitano for his Getting Any?
Akira Kurosawa swaps Dersu Uzala for Sergei Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible.
Robert Altman swaps The Player with Mike Leigh's Topsy Turvy.
Wong Kar Wai swaps Ashes of Time with Fritz Lang's Dr. Mabuse, The Gambler.
Werner Herzog swaps Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans with Sam Peckinpah's Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia.
Coppola The Conformist Bertolucci The Conversation
Andrei Tarkovsky swaps The Mirror for Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life.
Stanley Kubrick swaps Barry Lyndon for Federico Fellini's Il Casanova di Federico Fellini.
Mel Brooks swaps Young Frankenstein for David Lynch's The Elephant Man.
Marco Ferreri swaps Dillinger Is Dead for Jean-Luc Godard's Pierrot Le Fou.
Franco Piavoli swaps The Blue Planet for Werner Herzog's Encounters at the End of the World.
Jacques Tati swaps Playtime for Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums (just try to imagine Bill Murray as Monsieur Hulot!).
^ "Andrei Tarkovsky swaps The Mirror for Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life"
Wouldn't they just be making the same film in different settings and stylizations? Ha ha. But it'd be interesting to try and see Malick trying to exactly replicate Tarkovsky scenes such as the bird and burning house and have the latter trying to make sense of the muted family melodrama in Texas.
The Elephant Man as helmed by Brooks without the help of Lynch is a terrifying prospect to consider, considering how it had gone down. Not that I think Brooks would do damage to the material, but imagining it in his usual comedic style is really scary. For instance, something like this coming about:
Not a fan of the PUSHER series, so I'd like to see Michael Mann give those a go. Big improvement, surely, and the material is in Mann's auteurist wheelhouse .
And, in return, I could live with letting Nicolas Winding Refn get a crack at the script for THE KEEP. Not that I don't like Mann's version.
What fun!
Brad Bird for Avatar and James Cameron for The Incredibles.
Mike Nichols (Philadelphia) swaps with Jonathan Demme (Angels in America)
Andrei Tarkovsky (DON'T LOOK NOW) with Nicolas Roeg (THE SACRIFICE)
Fritz Lang (INSOMNIA) with Christopher Nolan (M)
Henri-Georges Clouzot (THE SOCIAL NETWORK) with DAVID FINCHER (LE CORBEAU)
Alfred Hitchcock (MARTIN) with George A. Romeo (THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY)
Oh yeah, and Andrzej Żuławski (SLEEPING BEAUTY, CINDERELLA or BEAUTY AND THE BEAST) with Walt Disney Animated Classics series (THE DEVIL)
I think it'd only be fitting, considering how much Drive felt like a cheap ripoff of his films.
I'd love to see the Romero version of The Trouble With Harry.
Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. Cape Fear and Schindler's List.
Fellini swaps La Dolce Vita with Woody Allen's Manhattan
Godard swaps Le Mepris with Bela Tarr's Werckmeister Harmonies
David Lynch swaps Blue Velvet with Polanski's The Tenant
Michael Powell swaps with Alfred Hitchcock. Peeping Tom and Psycho are often discussed in tandem, but I think even The Red Shoes and Black Narcissus could come out quite interested as Hitchcock pictures while Rear Window and The Birds would be likewise lurid if realised by Powell.
Nicolas Roeg (The Ring) with Gore Verbinski (Performance).
Moar witches and time travel in The Ring, moar dry drunk jokes in Performance.

What's phase one for you both? Do you outline heavily or do you just get an idea and let it flow out?
Dunham: It depends. If it's an episode another writer is doing, we'll outline. If it's an episode I'm doing, we'll just kinda kick around ideas and then I'll go off and play and then send them the vomit pass. I'll write a scene…when I write with somebody else, I'll write a scene, he'll write a scene, we'll see what happens when we put it all together. It's a free process and there isn't like a crazy stringent set of rules about how we get it done, as long as it gets done.
What about, say, after you get to the vomit pass and you're just stuck at a scene where you have writer's block and you don't know how to approach it? Do you just ask other people or what do you do?
Apatow: Yeah, then we give the drafts to everybody on the staff and we all just do…sometimes we give it the network and see what they think, and take a deep breath and start on page one again.
What about for theme? The show is covering that interesting phase of being a young and broke artist. I'm sure both of you probably had that phase. Does that just come out naturally while writing?
Dunham: I think we just thought about this specific time of life and the themes of it are sort of really clear, because your whole life you are dealing with change, and you are dealing with transition and uncertainty. But this is a moment where it is particularly vivid. So I think the themes emerge pretty naturally from the period of time that we're dealing with.
Apatow: If you don't think about the themes at all and just write about what you are thinking about, you can always figure out the theme later. It's always going to be there whether you like it or not, it might just be a different theme.
Dunham: It's true.
Apatow: It might be the "I hate myself theme" or the "about to murder my parents" theme.
Dunham: I know! "When you thought what you were doing was the height of an artist" theme.
Well, say, for like Funny People. That movie is a lot about failure and success. I'm sure you think about that when you get older and obtain commercial success. Does it just come from what you are thinking about at the moment?
Apatow: Yeah. Because at the time I was working on that, there were a lot of people that were sick in my world, and you just start thinking, "What's the point of any of it? What's the point of this work? What's the point of the sacrifices we make for approval?" When you are really wounded and something traumatic happens, like someone getting sick happens, you are forced to assess all your theories about your life.
Not that I'm in that mode now. [Laughs] You know, why do we want to get a laugh so badly? What does it do for us? Is it just some really sick narcissistic thing? Or is there a way to be creative and giving, and is there a way to share your life with people that makes people, you know, feel, as Lena said before, the world is a smaller place and we're all together. So there is a way positive way to create and then a really selfish, crazy way to create. You might get a good movie or a good record out of either of them.
Dunham: I just like that you did you that instead of having that experience and crawling into bed and not coming out for a year and going, "What's the point of even eating food?" Like, to me that's what's inspiring. One of the reasons I loved Funny People is it clearly came out of a place of…I mean not to project, but it clearly came out of a painful place. And a comedy made from that perspective, to me, is the most interesting thing, and the most generous thing that a person can do.
That's a good point. Like your films, the show isn't afraid of showing characters in an unfavorable and honest light. How far do you always try to push that?
Apatow: That's why HBO is great, because you don't have to clean it up for anybody. You don't have to resolve any storyline. It is why the end of The Sopranos is so great, because life does just go on. And with movies a lot of the time, it so desperately wants to be told that everything is going to be OK. And when you make a movie that says everything is going to be like it always is, or maybe it will be a little better but it's still hard, sometimes you get disappointment. They just want everything to work out and end on "the kiss".
With television, you can just end on the worst moment of someone's entire life and people are so excited, and they say, "That was a great episode! I loved it! Did you see what happened? Everything in his life is falling apart!"
Working on TV, which is something I wasn't looking to do at all, when it's coming together and people like it and you are allowed to do it on a continuous basis, there's nothing better than that. I mean this situation [xx 20:45] to make this show for a while with a lot of creative freedom, it's the best case scenario for a writer.
I remember when Garry Shandling was doing The Larry Sanders show. It just felt like he could do anything. Any week he has a notion and it's like, "Hey, Warren Beatty is on the show this week with this weird thing he thought of the other day!" It's just the most fun thing in the world.
Dunham: It's interesting, because I watched two shows Judd's been involved…I've watched all the TV that Judd's been involved with before I even met Judd. But particularly, Larry Sanders and Undeclared that I, like, watched really quickly during specifically challenging periods in my life. Like, I watched Larry Sanders when I was away at like a weird poetry summer program in Boulder, Colorado.
I was so homesick. I was so…I was literally like crying all night every night, and I bought Larry Sanders at the used video store and I watched all of it. Even though it wasn't like sunny TV, it gave me that "everything is going to be OK" feeling. I watched Undeclared my first week of college.
So I sort of felt like the medicinal power of TV in a certain way, and that was so exciting to me. And so, when I found out I was going to be working with Judd on a show that I hoped might have that affect on girls, or even people, in this place in their life, I was excited.
You mentioned that sense of approval you always want to get when you tell a joke. Being very personal storytellers, how much does that matter to you? Like, say last night it was just crickets.
Apatow: It used to bother me a lot more. I've just been through every variation of it. I've had things go well, and sometimes that's surprising because you think, "Well, that couldn't have gone better. I guess that's as happy as I get." Like, I met the president and he had just seen Funny People and was very complimentary, and was talking about specific ideas. And I thought, "Well, there's no more approval I could get from anyone on the planet. This is my level of happiness." And then that's, like, "Well this is as happy as I get. When the president likes my movie, I actually can't get more happy than a 7 ½." [Laughs]
And it's the same thing with the opposite. I've been destroyed in certain reviews or articles, and I realize, "Oh, that's my bottom. That's as depressed as I'll get if someone hates me." And then, when you've been around for a long time, it starts to amuse you because you think to yourself, "It's happening again! This is what bottom feels like! I've been here! You're OK!"
Dunham: Yeah, totally! I remember I found it comforting when after I made Tiny Furniture and I started to read good reviews, or read bad reviews, or have somebody whose work I admire tell me that they admired my work, it's sort of like mostly like the fact that good reviews and photo shoots and stuff didn't put me in a great mood. I was like, "I'm kind of relieved to know that this isn't the reason that I do this." Like I'm sort of relieved to find out that I'm not…I think there was always the quiet fear that I was just a demented narcissist. If somebody took my photo I'd be totally satisfied and could just go home and sleep soundly. So it was good to realize, "Oh, I actually do this because I love this job and I'm not happy if I'm not working." That was a relief to me to know that.
To wrap up, obviously the show is dealing with that period of being a struggling artist in your early 20s. When you were in that period of your lives, how'd you get through it?
Apatow: I just never for a second thought I wouldn't find a way to make a living. I started trying to work…when I was 14 I was a dishwasher at a comedy club. And in my head I thought, "In 20 years I'll be 34." I always thought how many years it would take. So when I started doing standup I thought, "If I start at 16, in seven years I'm going to be 24 years old." As long as you are always open to getting better and never thinking there's nothing left to learn, I think you can do good work. I mean if you have some talent, I guess.
There's very hard working untalented people out there. I think everybody has something to offer if you are committed to it and really give up yourself to the work and reveal yourself. Sometimes people say, "I like this actor more than that actor." I always think, "I kinda think any actor could be incredibly interesting to watch. Any human being could be the lead of a movie."
Girls premieres this Sunday (4/15) on HBO.

Chin Surgery - 3 Years out - Boston, MA
About three years ago I decided to take the plunge and get a little work done. My chin was always a little square for my liking and I wanted it to look more "feminine."

What fossil fuel costs the U.S. military
The U.S. armed forces have made the adoption of renewable energy technologies a strategic priority. Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn said last April that reducing the military's dependence on fossil fuel sources is correlated with its ability to project power overseas. President Barack Obama even touted the Navy's use
of solar power during his State of the Unionaddress on Tuesday. But the Pentagon's interest in renewables isn't political, it's strategic. Learn about the impact of fuel requirement in the infographic below.

he Solar Stellar Irradiance Comparison Experiment (SOLSTICE) is one
of ten instruments on the Upper
Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) One of the main UARS science goals
is to understand better the ozone chemistry and trends in the upper atmosphere.
Ozone abundance is known to change naturally by solar UV variability and
dynamics in the polar regions and by man's influence such as CFCs. UARS
was launched in September
1991 from the Space
Shuttle Discovery during the
STS-48 mission.
The primary scientific objective for the SOLSTICE program is to make precise and accurate measurements of the solar ultraviolet (UV) spectral irradiance over the spectral range 119 to 420 nm. Moreover, it has the goal of measuring solar variability over arbitrarily long periods, for example, over the duration of the UARS mission that may exceed ten years. The requirement for absolute accuracy is on the order of ± 10% (2 value), but the requirement for absolute accuracy between any two measurements spaced throughout the UARS mission is ± 2% (2 value). To achieve these goals the instrument response is determined from both preflight calibrations and from in-flight calibration and validation programs. SOLSTICE has been designed with the unique capability of monitoring a number of bright blue stars (those with O and B spectral type) using the same optical elements and detectors employed for the solar observations. These stars, which vary by only small fractions of a percent over long time periods, provide a stable reference for deriving the SOLSTICE instrumental degradation rates.
The primary science requirement for SOLSTICE is to provide one full solar spectrum per calendar day, and to achieve this, the data processing algorithm combines typically 15 individual observations to form the single daily spectrum, adjusted to 1 Astronomical Unit (AU: mean Sun-Earth distance). This daily SOLSTICE spectrum, called the Level 3BS product is reported for each 1.0 nm interval (centered on the half nm) between 119 to 420 nm and is available from the NASA Goddard data center.
A second instrument, the Solar Ultraviolet Irradiance Monitor (SUSIM), is also aboard UARS measuring the solar UV irradiance with basically the same spectral coverage and resolution as SOLSTICE. However, SOLSTICE and SUSIM have quite difference optical designs and, moreover, employ dramatically different in-flight calibration techniques. The UARS solar instruments are mounted on the Solar Stellar Pointing Platform (SSPP) that provides tracking of the Sun and the stars from the UARS satellite.

What are you talking about? Where did you get this information? Actually I think I know what you are talking about, because after Keith Moon drummed through a wooden floor, Jesus Christ came and resurrected all the dead and sent all the believers to heaven. True story.

Frederick Seares was born in Michigan and raised in Iowa and southern California. He earned his B.S. at the University of California, after which he continued his studies in Paris and Berlin. He taught and investigated comets and variable stars for eight years at the University of Missouri, where Harlow Shapley was his student. In 1909 he joined the staff of George E. Hale's Mt. Wilson Observatory, where he remained for 36 years, fifteen of them as assistant director. He photographed stars in "selected areas" as part of Jacobus C. Kapteyn's worldwide effort to determine the structure of the sidereal universe. Using photography Seares standardized the stellar magnitude system and extended it beyond the 18th magnitude. He used absorbing wire gauze screens and reduced apertures to compare stars of vastly different brightness. He was a pioneer in measuring and interpreting color indices of stars. He also published extensively on the brightness of the Milky Way compared to that of external galaxies and investigated interstellar absorption and reddening of starlight. For many years he supervised the Mt. Wilson computers (human, mostly female) and edited the publications of the Mt. Wilson Observatory.

The CDC says that as pool season starts up, it's important to remember that kids headed to swim are ready and safe.
Drowning is the second-leading cause of death for kids under age 14, and for kids under age 4, 30 percent who died of an unintentional injury died from drowning. The CDC says swimming lessons greatly reduce that risk.
For some low-income and minority children, swimming lessons can be tough to access, so through a grant, the McLeod YMCA at Comanche and Tramway will provide free classes for 220 kids. They're specifically for those groups of kids.
"Those are areas that might not have had the chance to swim in the past and we want them safe in the water," YMCA director Marc Lewis said.
People should stop by the McLeod YMCA on May 17 to sign up. The lessons start June 3, and there are several different class-time options.
It's a way to make summer fun for kids and more stress-free for parents.
"It becomes a non-issue when you know that your child is safe in the water and drowning is something no parent ever wants to half to deal with," swimming instructor Audra Powers said.
