Snorkelling in Punta de Mita
Snorkelling is great at the Punta de Mita. For us, we rented a boat to the Marietas Islands and had seen different fishes there. I think, it is more fun fishing than snorkelling because I had an urge of catching the huge fishes!

Hairbraiders at the beach
When we were in Belize, there was this woman who was braiding hair at the cruise ship's terminal. There were children in line for their hair braided for $10! My daughter Sierra was envious of the other children and also wanted her hair done. However, the braider was braiding too long and we didn't have time. My daughter Sierra was so sad that I didn't allow her to have her hair done at that time. In Punta de Mita, Sierra got so lucky because there was a lady walking around selling jewelries and knew how to braid hair. She could not sell any of her jewelries so she asked me if I wanted my daughter's hair be braided. She showed me a picture and she told me the price. She even told me that it included the hair accessories.
To compensate what I owe my daughter in Belize, I allowed my daughter to have her hair done! And, it was done fast. This girl can braid fast. She braided Sierra's hair within 15 minutes! I paid the girl $10 including the hair accessories.
My daughter Sierra was so happy to have her hair done! And, she looked beautiful. As for me, I was pretty happy as well since I will not be telling her to comb her hair for a week!

Learning how to surf
For a small amount of money (in pesos) you can learn how to surf in Punta De Mita. The waves are not strong enough and it is great for learning.
I had seen a lot of father and daughter duos going out to the beach and the dads are teaching their daughters how to surf.

Fishing in Punta De Mita
I rented a boat for about two hours and head down to the Islas Marietas. On our way back, I saw this guy fishing. According from the owner of the boat that I rented, this guy had been there overnight and there's a lot of big fish here.
Some rent boats for fishing here. Not sure about the rent for overnight, but my rent was $100 for two hours - but that included a tour around the island, snorkelling, feeding the fishes, swimming in the Islas Marietas and the boat owner waited for us while we were swimming! He provided the gears, etc.

Paddling in Punta De Mita
I sat on the beach watching my daughter swimming and saw these guys paddling their surf boards. They were not actually surfing but paddling!
It is kind of cool to see a lot of them. They were all standing up paddling the boards.

Surfing in Punta De Mita
This must be one of the surfers' paradise because I saw a lot of surfers in the area. However, I didn't see a lot of rentals for surf boards (so make sure to bring your own!).
There are local surfers here who are amazing. The waves are not that big but good enough for average surfers and learners.
One great thing about the beach here ( I went only to one - down below where the bus from Puerto Vallarta loops around and wait for passengers), there are not a lot of tourists. So, surfing is safer.

Boat ride
Huga the boat capitano took us around the island after snorkeling... we got to see all types of bird species and crabs and rock formations. The island was used as a bombing target years ago, and you could see where parts of the island were torn or chunks missing, it's sooo beautiful, we went thru a few open holes and snorkeled in and around it.
This is what came to the boat when we stopped, actually I had a banana peel from the trip out and they took it out of my bag to feed the fish. These guys will eat anything and trained to come to the boats when they stop here.
Go fishing
You all know what an Alaskan outdoorsey gal I am and how much I love to fish, well fish for anything, and that I did. We did a 4hr fishing snorkelig adventure off of punta de mita to the Isle's, it's beautiful over there! I would recommend this to anyone. And although there were no fish other then red snappers to be caught it was stil FUN to me...
Talk to the locals
You know how much I love love people, and this little guy stayed in the hotel, I think his father was a worker from out of town, brought his family and vallentin was happy to see and talk to strangers under the watchful eye of his mother... she was very attentive to him, I see that they ate dinner every night together. Vallentin drew pics of animals for me, we played w/his dinosaurs, a typical curious friendly little boy... He gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek goodbye, I gave his momma a bag of fuji apples and some orange slices for them, as the agriculture inspection might take it away from us on our return to Puerto Vallarta.
Visit w/the Locals
Ok, this hotel that we stayed at, Hotel Coco's, a mexicano named Jesus ran it, could not speak english, and my broken spanish is horrid... I managed to get Dos Diaz, 2 days and gave him the money and he got a key for me and brought me to the room.
Jetskiing in Punta de Mita
I saw some people who rented a jetski in Punta De Mita. However, the jetskiers were just close to the beach and afraid to go far out the horizon.

This is the little boy my heart got attached to, he was such a warm, smiley happy little guy, curious.

A note to those in my group. I have the base platinum prints made and will be going onto the next layers this week. Sorry I am running late. But, I am working on them.
Alright everyone I'm in. The prints are drying as we speak so tomorrow they will get packaged and then put in the post on Monday. Hope everyone enjoys.
Have a great weekend,
I have recieved Fred's prints. They're lovely! I really like the platinum one as it's a very interesting. My postie is still being crap and folded them to shove them through the post slot! But it's not a hard fold so I don't think they're permanently damaged, just a little unflat now.
I have posted my prints just now. The lady at the post office was a bit confused and wouldn't let me fill in the declaration forms so I hope they still sneak through to North America okay.
On Friday I recieved Fred Wong's prints. They are beutiful. The platinum print is exceptional in its tone and scale. The cyanotye is lovely. I am impressed with the extremely long scale in cyanotype. Thank you for the terrific prints.
Today I recieved Todd's print of the hard water stained wall. The tones are wonderful and the 4x5 size seems to fit the print prefectly. It is a beutiful little jewel. Thank you.
To up date all in my group, I finished printing my photographs this week end, but have not matted them yet. Unfortunately, I have to make a quick trip to Florida for business starting tomorrow morning. So, I will not get the prints matted and mailed until next week. Sorry for the delay. But the trip is business, and sometimes real life interfers with my true joy, photography.
I have received Freds prints this morning. Lovely work Fred. Thanks!
I still have not matted mine due to work pressures but hopefully a.s.a.p
Received a wonderful palladium print from Todd and 2 cyanotypes from Heather. Thank you both.
Heather, I have made quite a few cyanotypes but never reached a deep blue as on your Banana shot. Is it traditional cyanotype or Cyanotype II? If traditional what is you dev and clearing process? What paper?
I think Todd and I have exchanged 3 times now and his work is quiet excellent. The palladium image he sent this time has a depth to it unsurpassed in any print I have seen. Superb (PM sent)
Ah, Sorry I realise now I forgot to say any details for the cyanotype. It's traditional cyanotype, normal solutions, BUT I double coat. That's how you get those dark blues. I use Fabriano "watercolour studio" 300g/m2 paper (cheaper student-y version of their paper. Comes in tablets only, I think?) and I just soak the print in water face down for about 4-5 minutes. The Fabriano stuff clears nicely without letting the cyanotype blue wash away... I've been trying out more expensive papers like Arches Aquaelle and the famous Buxton paper.. but both of those papers I have an incredibly hard time getting the unsensitised solution out of the paper in the same short timespan. It's a bit odd but I guess I shouldn't complain that the cheaper stuff works better.
I have some Arches Aquaelle prints I gave up on soaking after half an hour and they're still blue & green.
Heather, Phill, Allen:
Thank you for the kind words.
Heather, sorry to hear that the package was bent, to fit in your mail slot. I had thought, the the stiffer package would suffice to discourage that, given the bubble packs I had used previously experienced the same treatment. I guess where there is a will there is a way. Maybe I will need to add additional cardboard to stiffen the package more.
Eagerly awaiting your contributions.
I received Jeff's prints while I was gone. The subjects are fitting for the cyanotype process. Well done, Jeff!
I am still unpacking from Foto 3 and will post in this thread again when I have some prints made.
I too received Fred's wonderful prints. Did you shoot 11x14 or is the palladium print an enlarged negative? Either way, I really like it! Water is a subject that I am constantly drawn to, and so I am drawn to your interpretation. Very nice! I also really enjoy exploring your cyanotype. How do you like this version versus your palladium version?
They are both wonderful prints!
Thank you,

At Sovereign Health, we offer specialized mental health, substance abuse and dual diagnosis disorder treatment tailor-made for the unique issues of each patient. Our comprehensive programs begin at admission, where our expert staff conduct a thorough assessment for any potential co-occurring conditions in order to create an accurate diagnosis so that each patient gets the right treatment.
If you have become involved with drug and/or alcohol abuse, you may find that you've fallen behind in your educational goals. Addiction might be affecting your willingness and capacity to learn and retain information taking a large toll on your overall education while you're using or recovering from drug use.
The consequences of drug use include short-term memory loss and a shorter attention span. Many users will often end up falling behind in class and may drop out all together. Interestingly, most chemically dependent people are highly adaptable, with a good capacity for learning and change. But when they fail to meet educational goals they lose self esteem because they know they can do better.
Through our educational program, we directly address the educational needs of people recovering from alcohol or drug addiction. Our EDU program is an educational program developed in conjunction with Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, Calif. Program participants enroll at an accredited college such as Saddleback and work towards one of several goals: starting to work towards a major, graduating high school or receiving a GED.
By enrolling in the EDU program, you (or your friend or relative) can begin a life journey you may not have believed possible in the recent past. Your self-esteem gets a boost and the healing process is enhanced as you and your peers support and challenge each other while you move in similar directions.
Those who enroll in the EDU program are provided with books and learning materials, as well as transportation to classes. After completion of classes, participants may continue on at Saddleback or transfer units to another college.

A Thunder first — a real streak
It took 61 games, but the Oklahoma City Thunder finally has itself a winning streak.
Three previous times this year, the Thunder had won two consecutive games, but it could never count to three. In big-time sports vernacular, two straight victories do not a winning streak make. Thunder television play-by-play man Brian Davis calls two straight wins "a nice little run." The Thunder finally hit the trifecta with an 88-83 victory Wednesday night over the Washington Wizards inside the Ford Center. Sure, the Wizards stink, but it still counts. Given the Thunder's current health status, you're darn right it counts. Wednesday was a showdown between the only two NBA teams without a three-game winning streak this season. With starters Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler, DeShawn Stevenson, Brendan Haywood, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and Desmond Mason out with injuries for both teams, this one was a bit of an eye-sore. This was a night you needed a roster for both teams. You wondered who the players were and from whence they came. While the Thunder started little-known Kyle Weaver and Thabo Sefolosha, the Wizards countered with Andray Blatche, Darius Songaila and Dominic McGuire. (A free car wash to anyone able to name their places of origin.) The Thunder used the same starting lineup to beat the 14-46 Wizards that it used to beat the 36-23 Dallas Mavericks two nights earlier in the Ford Center. Ask Thunder coach Scott Brooks to explain a win, any win, and he'll relentlessly use the word "effort." Ask him to explain a loss, any loss, and he'll use the word again. "You can never be satisfied with your effort," Brooks said. "I think when you do that you have a tendency to relax." Brooks preaches the effort must remain constant, whether Durant, Green and Mason are in the lineup or in street clothes.

The music of Otis Redding – sung by some of his hippest contemporaries, and by a whole new generation inspired by his talents! The tunes here are all numbers you'd know from Redding's famous recordings for Stax and Atlantic – yet the versions are nice and fresh – some done with a gritty down-home feel that's rougher than any of Redding's records, others done with an inventive style that pushes the music forward into new modes – possibly those that Otis might have explored on his own, had he not been taken from us so soon! The package is a great testament to the Otis Redding legacy in soul music – and is filled with a whopping 25 tracks, all of them well-chosen – including "Baby Cakes" by Maxine Brown, "Just One More Day" by Clarence Carter, "Give Away None Of My Love" by Buddy Miles, "Wholesale Love" by Arthur Conley, "Hawg For You" by Tina Britt, "Hard To Handle" by Patti Drew, "Chained & Bound" by Bettye Swann, "I'm Missing You" by Mitty Collier, "Sister Pitiful" by Judy Clay, "These Arms Of Mine" by Albert Washington & The Kings, "Monkey On My BacK" by Jackie Hairston – plus the previously unreleased "Loving By The Pound (part 2)" by Otis Redding himself! © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
As a rule, Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.
This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

Thanks for helping us associate the correct Pornstars to this video!
Help Us: Do these Pornstars appear in this video?
Pornstar Name:
Video Description:
We are starting to lose count of the amazing scenes featuring the wonderful Eufrat. This scene begins with beautifully delicately and teasing kissing as new girl Angel enjoys playing with Eufrat's mouth, teasing, caressing and licking her luscious lips before things really start to heat up as the girls kiss and tongue suck with more and more intense passion. They all but rip each other's clothes off as lust consumes them to get inside one another. A 69 is the one way they can simultaneously express their desire for pleasure as they work themselves into a fever before Angel tribs herself wildly on Eufrat's thigh to climax, all the time the girls are kissing passionately. Really one of the hottest moments we've seen in some time!

Age: 22
Height: 170cm
Weight: 83kg
Position: Scrum half/stand off
Club: Bradford Bulls
The scrum half has had to play second fiddle to the Paul brothers at Bradford but has already been made England's vice-captain and proved his worth in last year's World Cup when he belied his age and organised the backs to great effect.
He made only 11 starts for the Bulls this season. However, following Henry Paul's departure to union, he will be confident of more action next year and a good showing at the highest level will do his cause no harm.

EDMONTON - May 1: A dejected Steve Yzerman of the Detroit Red Wings talks to the media in the locker room after being eliminated by the Edmonton Oilers in game six of the Western Conference Quarterfinals during the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs on May 1, 2006 at Rexall Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Edmonton defeated Detroit 4-3 to win the series 4-2. (Photo by Jeff Vinnick/Getty Images)
Steve Yzerman is once again committed to defense. Only days after Yzerman's Tampa Bay Lightning missed the postseason, the GM overhauled his team's roster, trading for a promising young goaltender and signing a slew of free agent defensemen. Paced by Steven Stamkos' 97 points and league-leading 60 goals last season, Tampa Bay also fielded four other 20-goal, 40-point players. But they finished last in the NHL with a 3.39 goals-against average. If last year proved anything, offense means little to a team if it can't protect its own end. It's a lesson all too familiar to Yzerman. A prolific goal scorer early in his playing career, the former Detroit Red Wings captain experienced little playoff success in his first 10 seasons. Detroit rarely got past the first round -- if it even made the playoffs at all. Scotty Bowman took over as coach in 1993, transforming Yzerman into one of the game's premier two-way pivots and the Red Wings into an annual Stanley Cup contender. In the three s...

NAPA, Calif., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Senetek PLC (OTC Bulletin Board: SNKTY), a Life Sciences company engaged in the development of technologies that target the science of healthy aging, today announced that results of a clinical study of Pyratine-6(TM) have been featured in the February issue of the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology.
The study was implemented to determine the efficacy and tolerance of topical Pyratine-6(TM) over 12 weeks for improving the baseline clinical signs and symptoms of photodamaged facial skin. In the single-arm longitudinal study with observations at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks, efficacy and safety were evaluated by clinical observations, digital photography, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin capacitance, and silicon replicas at each time point.
The study concluded that treatment with Pyratine-6(TM) over 12 weeks improves roughness and skin moisturization in 2 weeks compared to baseline and mottled hyperpigmentation (brown spots and discoloration) and fine wrinkles in 4 weeks compared to baseline. Reduction in facial erythema was observed as early as two weeks.
Dr. Jerry McCullough, lead investigator in the study stated, "In addition to the encouraging results in the treatment of photodamaged skin overall, another important finding is the significant reduction in erythema at 2 weeks and the additional reductions at weeks 4, 8, and 12. To my knowledge, this is the first report to show reduced erythema associated with use of a topical non-prescription therapeutic product."
"We are delighted to have made this important treatment available through leading plastic surgeons and dermatologists across the country", said Frank Massino, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Senetek, "and look forward to extending the significant clinical findings for Pyratine-6(TM) through additional ongoing clinical investigation."

The truth is, the gospel was designed, like a little leaven, to leaven the whole lump; to operate secretly upon mens' minds, till it should, by its divine influence, form them to its own temper, and produce its effects in a moral way; which is analogous to other proceedings of its divine author: and if the justice and benevolence it enjoins under the highest sanctions, were practised amongst its professors, there would not at this day have existed any ground of controversy respecting the slave-trade. (Nickolls, 64)The London committee was also quite prepared to appeal to the national interest; its report of 15 January 1788, published in the Gentleman's Magazine, cited the heavy loss of life experienced by our own seamen, in addition to the sufferings of the slaves, during the long sea journey from Africa to the British colonies in the Caribbean (GM, 162).

Innovation and the Creative Industries Cluster: A Case Study of Singapore's Creative Industries
Gwee, June, Innovation : Management, Policy & Practice
To address the constraints of a comparatively small economy amidst globalisation challenges, Singapore embarked on diversification as strategy in the mid-eighties to develop clusters and ensure economic survival. This paper examines the development of the creative industries cluster of a city state that shifted its economic focus from manufacturing to innovation. Using Singapore as a case study, this paper will describe how the creative industries started in the city, discuss the policy areas critical to the development of the innovation system of this cluster, and propose an approach to how this cluster should be cultivated to create innovation for the country. It will present the challenges that are specific to Singapore and describe the limitations and potentials of the smaller nation's innovation policy and innovation system.
Keywords: creative industries, Singapore, cluster strategy, innovation policy, innovation system, economic development
In the 2003 study on Singapore's growth and innovation policies commissioned by New Zealand's Ministry of Economic Development (Evans et al. 2003), the facilitation of clusters was identified as one of Singapore's innovation policies in enhancing the country's innovation framework; one of the sectoral initiatives identified was its creative industries. In most literature, the creative industries sector has been less discussed than the state's other sectoral initiatives - such as manufacturing, petrochemical, bioscience and information technology industries. Similarly, reference to innovation policy has also been more frequently associated with technology and R&D activities (Mani 2001), and less with creative activities. This paper will address that gap by linking creativity and innovation through an in-depth look at Singapore's creative industries cluster.
Discussions about creative economy have been commonly linked to culture and cultural policy because the concept of 'creative' is synonymous with 'artistic' and 'culture' in certain places. Singapore's artistic and cultural developments have often been overshadowed by its economic developments. More recently, observers of the city's development (Wright 2009) have noted Singapore's shift from 'cultural desert' to 'cultural oasis'. However, it would be wrong to suggest that the arts did not exist in the city prior to 1985 when its economic strategy shifted. In fact, Singapore in the 1950s, under colonial rule, was home to Chinese and European-trained artists such as Georgette Chen, Liu Kang, Chen Chong Swee, Chen Wen Hsi and Cheong Soo Pieng. They were also known as Nanyang artists where Nanyang art - a style, technique and medium that is a blend of East and West - was one of the earliest modern art movements in Singapore during the 1950s and 1960s. Visual arts and performing arts were equally present in the city. The earliest form of Singapore Arts Festival also began in 1959 as a national festival to celebrate local arts and multi-dimensional cultures in Singapore and the Southeast Asia (Purushothaman 2007). This was followed in 1963 by a regional event, the first Southeast Asia Cultural Festival. However, at that time, the arts were primarily a social voice to facilitate diversity, nation building and multi-racialism. At a secondary level, it was a vehicle to exchange ideas, information and indigenous heritage.
Kong (2000) had argued that the nation's artistic and cultural activities were promoted because they presented economic potential while Yue (2006) offered that the concept of culture was used to create new industries and business services. These observations are accurate to the extent there is inherent economic value in culture (Frey 2003). However, development of the creative industries cluster in Singapore, inclusive of promotion of arts and culture, originated not as a cultural strategy but as an economic strategy.
The incorporation of creative activities as part of Singapore's economic development started in the mid 1980s. …

It's exactly a year since Ford unveiled its completely redesigned 2008 Focus at the 2007 Detroit auto show, and for a company desperately in need of a successful vehicle--especially in the newly fashionable compact segment--Ford needs its entry-level model to be a hit. The revamped Focus represents something of a radical styling departure from its predecessors. Out go the hatchback and wagon body styles of the previous generation, replaced with a more bulbous and curvaceous European design reminiscent of a squished Ford Mondeo. It is on the inside, however, that the game really changes for the 2008 Focus, with the availability of another product that headlined in Detroit last year: Ford Sync. Designed by Microsoft, and exclusive to Ford Motor products, Sync represents a quantum leap forward for Ford (and the auto industry in general) in terms of controlling in-car media and communications. Our 2008 Ford Focus tester was the review car we have seen with Sync (it comes as standard equipment on the SES), and, after testing it to its breaking point, we can report that despite a few niggles, we're impressed. Very impressed.
Test the tech 1: The telephone game
The two standout functions that Sync offers are control of Bluetooth hands-free calling and control of digital music via a combination of voice command and a hard-button control interface on the car's central column. (There are several additional features, which we cover below: See the In the cabin section.) So what's so different with Sync? We have seen more than our fair share of Bluetooth hands-free calling systems in the past, some of which were voice-activated; many of which are best forgotten. The problem with many Bluetooth systems is that they are often more trouble than they're worth. With the notable exception of Acura and Honda systems--and some recent Infiniti systems--hands-free calling is often far from "hands-free," requiring drivers to physically punch in numbers (either to their cell phone or an in-car keypad) to make a call; to remember specific numbers for voice dialing; or to go through the lengthy process of voice-tagging entries in an address book to dial by name. Even with the few high-end factory systems that copy over cell phone address books, drivers have to use some kind of interface (Audi's MMI, COMAND, iDrive, etc.) to scroll through names before making a call. With Sync, the whole process is a lot more straightforward and intuitive.
The setup process for the Bluetooth hands-free link on Sync is similar to that on many other systems: set the car and the Bluetooth phone to search for each other, and then enter a passcode on the phone when the connection is made. In fact, we actually had more problems pairing our Samsung SGH-T619 to the Sync system than to others we've tried, but we had more luck with a Motorola Z6C. With the connection made, the simple dash-mounted display asks whether the user would like to transfer the phone's address book to the system. The transfer process took about 1 minute for us, but may take longer if you have more friends. With the contacts transferred, users can access the names on the display using the menu button and the scroll wheel, and make a call by pressing the Enter button.
Big deal, you might think--up to here, the process is no different from any other advanced Bluetooth system. It is with the voice-command system, however, that Sync stands head and shoulders above the competition. With the phonebook transferred, Sync automatically indexes all of the contact names, which are then accessible to dial by voice command. Where other systems require voice tagging or a dodgy connection between the car system and the (equally dodgy) voice recognition system on the phone itself, Sync indexes the text names of phonebook entries and makes them all accessible by voice command. And it is accurate.
For our test of the voice-dialing feature, we decided to enter into our cell phone six names with similar spellings and pronunciations to try to catch the system out. Our test names were: Andrew, Andrea, Andreas, Andre, Andy, and Anthony. For each one, we attempted to call the contact by voice command (saying "call Andrew," for example). With one exception, Sync managed to understand our requests the first time. On the occasion that it did struggle (calling Andrea instead of Andreas), we enunciated more deliberately the second time, and the system dialed the correct contact.
Test the tech 2: Play it again, Sync
We usually do just one tech test with our review cars, but seeing as this was our first review of Sync, we awarded ourselves another challenge, this time based on the system's music playback ability. As with phone calls, Sync can be used to control music using either hard button controls or via voice command. While we generally like the hard button interface for searching and selecting music from connected iPods, Zunes, and other MP3 players and USB devices, we did have some minor issues with them (see In the cabin). For our test, however, we once more opted to use the voice-command system.
Ford has made much of its partnership with Microsoft as its partner on the Sync project, so we thought that an interesting evaluation of the system would involve pitting Microsoft's very own Zune MP3 player against the Apple iPod. Would there be any advantage, we wondered, in the ability of the Sync to play music from the Zune versus its ability to find tracks on the iPod. Sync's voice-command interface for music selection is much the same as it is for the phone, although the initial data download process is obviously longer. For our Zune loaded with 30GB of music, the system took nearly 3 minutes to index all the tracks--a one-time process, thankfully. In the interests of impartiality, we loaded the same test tracks onto both our Zune and our iPod. We would use voice commands to select music by artist name, album name, and track name for both players and record the results. For artist, we chose Badly Drawn Boy; for album, Ultra Chilled; and for track name, "Come back loaded roady." Pressing the voice-command button, we tried each in succession on both players (we felt a little silly saying "play track come back loaded roady" to our car's steering wheel, but it actually worked!).

Parker Gilbert: Deliberations Begin
Trial Commentary: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7.
The jury in the Parker Gilbert case began its deliberations at 3:30pm yesterday. Closing arguments contained nothing unexpected, save for the comment from Gilbert's attorney Rob Cary that shortly prior to their interaction in the complainant's room, Gilbert and the complainant had crossed paths in the hallway of their common dormitory. Such a statement by Cary might be directed at the count against Gilbert of criminal trespass — the one charge against him that is not related to sexual conduct.
The goal of this comment would be to raise a doubt in the minds of jurors about the reason Gilbert came to be in the complainant's room. Given that Gilbert did not take the stand, he could not testify as to the chance hallway meeting, and Cary undoubtedly made the choice not to ask the complainant about it, given that she might not recall it, and go on record as saying that it did not occur. The complainant's friend, who spent the night with her and did not awaken during the sexual interaction, was also not asked about the supposed meeting.
The jury has a specific task here, one that should inform conversations on campus as well. The issue is not who has more credibility in recounting the events on the night of May 2, 2013 — that would be a discussion for a civil case where the standard of proof is the preponderance of the evidence. Rather, the question is whether the complainant's account of the night's events is true beyond a reasonable doubt. Put another way, the issue is not whom you believe more, but if you do not fully believe the accuser. If you do not, then Parker will be acquitted.
Either way, two promising lives have been badly compromised.
Addendum: The Valley News described the Gilbert family's background as follows:
Although Gilbert and his family moved to London when he was 6, they have strong Upper Valley ties.
His paternal grandfather, John J. Gilbert, is a retired biology professor at Dartmouth College who has been attending the trial regularly, along with dozens of other family members.
Parker Gilbert's father grew up in Hanover, and the defendant's parents, John and Lynn Gilbert, are listed on Newbury, N.H., assessing records as the owners of a home on Lake Sunapee.
The story omits to note that Gilbert's father, John Gilbert, was until recently a senior investment banker for JP Morgan in London. He worked as the Senior Country Officer for the Benelux and Scandinavian countries. Gilbert père left his post last year to return to the United States, and he took a sabbatical from the firm in order to be closely involved in his son's trial, the cost of which must be enormous by this time.
Addendum: Gilbert is no longer listed as a student in the publicly accessible Dartmouth Name Directory:
The complainant, whose name is widely known on campus, is also only listed as an alumna.

Accelerators on hidden menu
I want to add an option to show or hide the menu bar, the problem is that keyboard accelerators doesn't work when the menu bar is hidden ( menuBar.setVisible(false) ).
I've finally made a class called "JXCollapsibleMenuBar". When collpasible property is set to true the menubar disappears (by putting height to 0, key events are processed), but when a MenuItem obtains the focus (for example by pressing alt key) the menubar appears again.
Here is the class: http://txigreman.pastebin.com/qd7NtRB2
PD: Yes, menu's listener should be deleted when the menu item is removed... Maybe in v2.0, I don't remove menu items. lol
Add [url=http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/keybinding.html]key bindings[/url] (short cuts) for the menu actions as well.

I found my horses absolutely hate the sweet iron bits. They gape their mouths and bull and don't seem "happy in the mouth". If that's not it I would seriously be looking at teeth and if nothing is found change dentist, then get his back and neck, in general his hoe body worked.
If that turns up nothing, change the bits, single joint egg butt is what all my horses like ( I have 5, of the 5, 3 like it, the other to, I haven't worked.) Even straight bar could be an idea. I wont ever again put forward the notion of a a french link/pea/double jointed bit, but I know I just can't stand them, and when I ride with them my horses fuss and fiddle. ;)

Jerusalem Dispatch: True Colors

Imagine the likelihood of thousands of American students, intellectuals, and Hollywood celebrities marching in support of George W. Bush, and you will begin to appreciate the marvel of the Israeli leftists now rallying around Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Reviled for engineering the Lebanon war, for masterminding the settlement movement, for opposing every attempt at reconciliation with the Palestinians, and as the personification of Israeli militarism and anti-Arab racism, Sharon today is viewed by many leftists as the settlers' bete noire and Israel's foremost champion of peace.

INHERIT THE WIND Billy Tauzin of Louisiana was one of the most venal politicians ever to sully Capitol Hill. As Michelle Cottle chronicled in these pages ("Cajun Dressing," October 6, 2003), the Republican representative used his perch on the House Energy and Commerce Committee to shill for almost every big business in America--until a business broke enough laws to spark public outrage, at which point Tauzin would hold showboat hearings and recast himself as a consumer champion.

It took only a few sentences on Wednesday for Donald Rumsfeld to demonstrate why he is both morally and strategically unfit to serve as secretary of defense. In a townhall-style meeting at a staging area in Kuwait, Rumsfeld was asked by Specialist Thomas Wilson of the Tennessee National Guard why soldiers were forced "to dig through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromised ballistic [i.e., bulletproof] glass to uparmor our vehicles?" There was a short pause, and then many of the 2,300 troops in attendance erupted in cheers and applause.

For more than a decade, you could take several things for granted in Turkey. Islamists normally had no role in government, the army was ultimately in charge of politics, and Ankara was a staunch ally of Israel. The rise of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's popular prime minister, whose party was elected in 2002 in the biggest vote in recent Turkish history, changed the first two assumptions. Erdogan hails from an Islamic party that had pushed for the legalization of the headscarf and other blurrings of the line between mosque and state.

Jerusalem, Israel--The Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, had planned on offering the usual complaints when he visited Prime Minister Ariel Sharon last week. There was the stalled road map, Israel's security fence, and the recently announced expansion of West Bank settlements close to the Green Line. But, before he arrived in Jerusalem, something happened that changed Lavrov's agenda: the massacre of Russian children by Chechen Islamist terrorists.

THERE WAS A BRIEF PERIOD in European history, roughly from the beginning of the eighteenth century to 1941, when it was easy to distinguish between combatants and non-combatants; when wars were fought by soldiers clothed, equipped, and trained by the state; when men trained to be murderers on behalf of the state were severely punished if they tried to use the same methods when not in military service.

RETIRED GENERAL Wesley Clark has faced many enemies in his career, from the Viet Cong to Slobodan Milosevic. At last week's Democratic debate in New Hampshire, however, Clark was ambushed by an unexpected foe. ABC News anchor Peter Jennings took the general to task for staying silent while liberal filmmaker—and Clark supporter—Michael Moore labeled President Bush a "deserter" at a campaign rally. "That's a reckless charge not supported by the facts," Jennings admonished Clark, all but demanding that he exhibit "a better example of ethical behavior" by repudiating the claim. An off-guard Clark

I. Adolf Hitler's so-called second book was not published in his lifetime. Written, as Gerhard Weinberg convincingly speculates, in late June and early July 1928, the book's publication was postponed because Mein Kampf, Hitler's first massive text, was selling very badly and could hardly stand competition with another publication by the same author. Later, after Hitler was appointed chancellor and Mein Kampf became one of the greatest (and allegedly most unread) best-sellers of all times, the second book was apparently seen as disclosing his foreign policy plans too explicitly to allow publica

U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Michigan on Asian Carp
The U.S. Supreme Court, rejecting a bid by Michigan, refused to order Illinois and the federal government to permanently separate the waters of Chicago-area rivers and canals from Lake Michigan to stop the migration of Asian carp.
Today's rebuff was the third this year for Michigan at the nation's highest court, which previously declined to order the temporary closing of area locks and dams as a step to keep the carp from entering Lake Michigan. Illinois officials and President Barack Obama's administration urged the court not to get involved.
Michigan and other Great Lakes states say that, should the carp reach Lake Michigan, they would spread rapidly, consume nutrients needed by other species and potentially devastate the region's $7 billion sport-fishing industry and much of its tourism business.
"The fight to protect Michigan's jobs and environment now falls to President Obama and Congress," Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox said in a statement.
Illinois and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers told the Supreme Court they are already stepping up their fight to keep the fish from reaching Lake Michigan.
"The state of Illinois will continue its extensive work in collaboration with the federal government and all the Great Lakes states to protect the ecology and health of the Great Lakes by combating the progression of Asian carp," Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan said in a statement.
As part of its bid for Supreme Court intervention, Michigan sought to reopen an 80-year-old high court case centering on the allocation of Lake Michigan water rights.
The dispute has divided the Great Lakes region. Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania and Ontario have all backed Michigan at the Supreme Court.
The lead case is State of Wisconsin v. State of Illinois, No. 1, Original.

The purpose of our study was to assess the effectiveness of these new treatments, Ringer continues. We found that neither of these newerand more costlycoils performed any better than the bare platinum coils.
To determine whether the new strategies posed an improvement, Ringer and his research team analyzed the outcomes during a 3 -year period of 100 successively treated patients who had suffered ruptured aneurysms of medium size (five to 15 millimeters in diameter).
At the end of one year, the bare platinum coils were associated with the least number of repeated treatments. The percentage requiring repeated treatment was 6.4 percent in the platinum coils group, 11.5 percent in the expanding gel-coating group, and 20.9 percent in the polymer-coating group.
The results, Ringer says, suggest the possibility that a factor, or factors, other than coil-surface coating may be responsible for reducing aneurysm recurrence.

For that matter, I'm still curious how the Alliance was able to make the "atmo and gravity close to Earth-that-was" or whatever Zoe said. I mean, altering the atmosphere is one thing, but playing around with the mass or gravity of a planet seems light years ahead of what we saw of Alliance technology. It makes absolutely no sense.
Well, they had artificial gravity on their spaceships, so artificially augmenting a planet's gravity just seems like a larger-scale version of the same technology. So it doesn't seem that inconsistent to me.
Besides, most of the tech we saw was the tech used by poor, struggling settlers on the frontier. We didn't see much of the tech level used by the most advanced, prosperous parts of the civilization. That's one of the great things about FF/S -- it reflected a reality rarely seen in SF, namely that technological advancement is not uniform. Today, we're making all these incredible technological breakthroughs, but there are still hundreds of millions of people who don't even have plumbing.

Well yeah. It's an awesome show no doubt about it but the science is a little wonky.
That's being generous. Consistent worldbuilding has never been one of Whedon's strengths. It wasn't until the movie that they even settled on whether the series took place in a single star system or a whole galaxy.

While last week gave us a number of exciting games (West Virginia/Baylor shootout, Texas' controversial last-minute touchdown to beat Oklahoma State, Nebraska's comeback win over Wisconsin, etc.), it was lacking in marquee games between ranked teams or conference rivals. But this week will make up for it in a big way with five games between ranked teams, including not one but two Top Ten matchups in the SEC.

[movieperson id="373803″]Taylor Lautner's[/movieperson] got abs of gold. "New Moon" has reeled in $288 million in just seven weeks in theaters, making it the fifth-highest-grossing film of the year and climbing. Now the movie's star is about to get paid. Big-time.
Lautner is set to earn $7.5 million for his next picture, according to a Deadline Hollywood report, making him the highest-paid teen in Hollywood. The film, titled "Northern Lights," is about a young aerobatics pilot who falls in love with a female pilot. Helmed by "Max Payne" director John Moore, the film is set to start shooting on April 1.
According to the Deadline.com story, young stars like Zac Efron and Miley Cyrus have not commanded a paycheck nearly as large as Lautner's. And the "Twilight" werewolf might get even more cash for his future projects.
A December report in Variety indicated that "Breaking Dawn," the final book in the "Twilight" saga, may be split into two films , which would force Summit Entertainment to reopen negotiations with Lautner and co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Based on the blockbuster success of "New Moon," that would likely mean a monster raise for Lautner.
Lautner should also see a hefty payday for his starring turn in "Max Steel." Based on a Mattel toy line and comic book tie-in, the action flick would feature Lautner as an extreme-sports star who encounters nano-machines that endow him with superpowers. The script is still being tweaked, though, leaving the actor free to jump into "Northern Lights" in the spring, just a couple of months before the arrival in theaters of the next "Twilight" film, "Eclipse."
Check out everything we've got on "Twilight: New Moon."
