MSI bows X-Slim X410 with Athlon Neo
updated 09:15 am EDT, Thu September 17, 2009
MSI X410 now official
MSI this morning took the X-Slim line into AMD's territory by officially launching the X410. The crossover, 14-inch ultraportable uses the lower end of AMD's Congo ultrathin platform and uses both an Athlon Neo processor and the newer chipset to reportedly get twice as much battery life as a regular 14-inch notebook, although MSI is silent on actual numbers. The system uses the older Radeon X1250 for integrated graphics but claims its power is enough to decode 1080i video smoothly.
At just under an inch thick and about 3.3 pounds, the new X-Slim is still relatively well-equipped with at least a 2GB hard drive, a 320GB hard drive, 802.11n Wi-Fi and a webcam. Fully outfitted models have up to 4GB of memory and a 500GB disk, and an option exists for an external DVD or Blu-ray drive.
As is often the case with MSI launches, the initial news of the X410 doesn't include release dates or prices. Most X-Slim configurations are already available in the US; early European pricing may prove a clue as the X410 is selling for between 414 Euros and 499 Euros ($610 and $736).

Day 2 of my trek consisted of trekking from Ta Van to Giang Tachai. We left and started to make our way up the valley along some very muddy paddy fields where my feet slipped all over the place even though I had on brand new boots which I had bought in Sapa. The Black Hmong girls gave us a hand which we needed as at one point we had to cross the top of a terrace with a 4ft drop on one side and the paddy field in water on the other side.
Train to Sapa
This is not a danger but it is a warning. I booked my ticket for a sleeper to Sapa, and when shown my cabin and bunk, to my horror, it was the top bunk. This would not have been a problem if there was a ladder like we have on our trains, but there was only one small "foot ledge" to haul yourself up to the top bunk. If you are older or a bit incapacitated in any way, then I don't know how you would get up to the top bunk. I don't know if you can, but when booking in the future, I would try and see if I could book a bottom bunk.
Also, be aware that you may be a female in a 4 berth cabin with 3 other men for your overnight trip.
Thankfully for me, a lovely young Dutchman offered to take the top bunk, thumbs up to him for his kind consideration.

Not so child friendly street vendors
I have observed at night a sad ordeal of an elderly woman offering hasjis and mariuana to tourist on the streets of Sapa. My advice is obviously to NOT buy from her and others as this creates a demand for such substances. There are other ways of creating entrepreneurical opportunities for the local people, that will not harm both the ethnic minorities and yourself. But if the prospect of spending time in a Vietnamese prison appeals to you, who am I to judge..
Sapa Bus Arrival
I don't know if this happens with all the Buses that come from Lao Cai or not, but it did with mine. It was still dark when we arrived at Sapa. We were dumped at some Hotel and left to find our own way to our Hotels. The Driver briefly waved his hands in the direction, he couldn't or wouldn't help. It was quite nerve wracking being there alone, in the dark, not knowing where to go and without a map of the Town.
Try and get a map of Sapa, or take a Lonely Planet guide or something, in case this happens to you.

Lao Cai to Sapa by Bus
When you arrive at Lao Cai Train Station, there will be a lot of touts wanting your business to get on their ???bus to Sapa. As usual you bargain, I paid $3, I heard others paid $2, one paid $5, (2008) Try to have change as I offered a $10 note for the $3 fare, was given the change back in dong even though I asked and asked for US Dollars. When I could check it in daylight, it was wrong, I had been robbed!!!
This happens all over Vietnam, so be aware!

I missed my train from Sapa to Hanoi because they cross a one, and it looked like a number four. An american woman checked my ticket, and took it to be the same time as I thought, 8.45, not 8.15 (the correct time) There wasn't an agent to help me at this end, people at the station couldn't speak english. Two aggresive Vietnamese men yelled at me for missing the train. It was a very unpleasant experience.

Being located in the Golden Triangle where opium is being cultivated, raw drug is easy to be obtain here. In the evening, if you just walk around the town area, the H'mong men would offer to sell you Marawana.
Don't even try, you may ended up addicted and do something stupid which you going to regret later!

Avoiding Tummy Troubles
We travelled with our teenage daughters and took some advice from our travel doctor before leaving. We had taken the recommended medications to protect against several things before we left.
When we travelled we all had our own personal small bottle of anti-bacterial hand gel which we used after the bathroom, before eating and any other time we thought we needed it.
We also travelled with antibiotics for diarrhea and a 'gut-stopper' medicine for the same - but we never needed this.
We were careful to always use bottled water when we cleaned our teeth and for drinking. We did buy food from street cookers (not the walk-about vendors) where we could see it being cooked - no problems with this. We also ate at little cafe places full of local people. This was a bit strange as it was more tricky to order and we didn't really understand "how things were done" - but we amused the locals no end and they did their best to show us.
We had no tummy problems with any of this.
We did meet one tourist who had been on a tour to Ha Long with a small tour group and had seafood and he became very ill with food poisoning. A good reason to go with a reputable company although I guess anyone can have bad luck.
Travelling by Train to Sa Pa
Commonly tourists take a 4-berth soft sleeper train cabin to Sa Pa. So you share with four other people. There isn't a lot of room but it is air conditioned. There is a squat toilet at one end of the carriage and a pedestal toilet at the other end.
The train provides passengers with a small bottle of water, a pillow and a quilt. No sheets so if you have your own silk sleep-sack, have it handy - you will be glad. A lot of the personal lights above the bunks, don't work, so a torch is also useful. There isn't really food available on the train (although it may not be necessary as you get on at 9pm and off at 5-6am). Some really evil coffee was available for sale in the mornings when they come to rouse you to be ready to alight.
You need to be very aware of security. There is space under the bunks and a void above the door for luggage storage. The train stops along the route and it has been known for some locals to hop on and help themselves into cabins, apparently, so the train staff kept emphasizing to us to use all locks and latches on the inside of the cabin door and to keep luggage under the beds at the window end.
Buy from me... buy from me....
Yes... loads of them... the young girls and the old ladies...
They hound literally follow you everywhere you go... and chant "Buy from me.. buy from me.."
I guess its the overcommercialization of Sapa now... but seriously.. some of their handiwork or trinkets are worth buying.. albeit... somewhat overpriced... but think of it this way... you're paying for a kid's meal or education... hopefully its for something useful...
I don't eat dog!!!
Tribal people's extreme cuisine, if you've already been to Bac Ha Market then there's nothing else to say!! Dog meat is very famous here, after I saw it with my own eyes (...and I did eat it!!) Make sure what you ordered is chicken or pork...meat means dog around here. By the way, don't forget to remark "Kom Un Jor" I don't eat dog!! THANK YOU

LG Prada II to hit UK stores Nov. 18th
updated 01:35 pm EST, Thu November 13, 2008
LG Prada II launch info
Expanding on official details from last month, the LG-built Prada II handset will launch November 18th, according to a Thursday report. The fashion phone expands significantly on the original with a 5-megapixel camera and a a QWERTY keyboard underneath the 3-inch, 400x240 touchscreen display preserved from the earlier phone. Unlike the original Prada, the handset will also have support for 3G data networks and video calling capabilities.
Fast Internet access is accomplished thanks to 7.2Mbps HSDPA on the cellular network or via Wi-Fi when connected to local hotspots. A full HTML browser makes Internet surfing less compromised than on lesser handsets. The Prada II will play back MPEG-4, H.263 and H.264 video formats as well as AAC, MP3, WMA, and RealAudio music files.
Pricing for the handset in Italy, UK, France, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands is expected to reach �600, or the equivalent of about $750. US information is still unavailable, though the Prada II is the first to support North American GSM and 3G bands and is more likely to reach the territory as a result.

If you are a property owner and you rent your house in London for a long term, it means that you need to take care of a lot of things. However, there are some things that you just need to control. One of those is, of course, the cleaning. If that was a short-term rental, you would have to be responsible for it, but in a long-term rental market, the tenant is the one who cleans all the mess. So how can you check, if the cleaning was made in an appropriate way and you can return your tenant the deposit?
When your tenant calls you telling that the cleaning is done, prepare to do a little inspection. You need to check all the spots that are difficult to reach and that are not usually seen. One of these places in located in the kitchen. When you are there, open the oven and the microwave and check if it's clean inside. Then go to bathroom and look at the cranes and the area behind the toilet bowl. Check if the curtains are washed and move to the rooms. In the rooms check if it's clean under the furniture like sofa, bed and cupboard. You might need to move some furniture a bit, explain your tenant that you are doing that not because you don't trust him, but because you want to give him a good reference for a future landlord.
In case if you have found dirt and think that your apartment could have been cleaned better, recommend your tenant an cleaning company to use. He can even get a special cleaning in Barking, called end of tenancy cleaning. Don't rush into argue when you see the dirt, there's no need to have an unpleasant conversation and threaten with not giving back the deposit. Give your tenant another chance and let him prove that it was an accident.

Nuclear Energy, energy released in large amounts by the splitting or formation of atomic nuclei. The light and heat of the sun and other stars is an example of naturally occurring nuclear energy. Artificially produced nuclear energy can be released either in a steady, controllable manner, as in devices called nuclear reactors, or in the form of a violent explosion, as in nuclear weapons. Properly speaking, the energy released by the process of radioactive decay is also a form of nuclear energy. In radioactive decay, elements such as uranium produce radiation when the nucleus of the element loses protons or neutrons, thus changing into a different kind of nucleus. However, this type of energy is generally not included in discussions of nuclear energy. This article deals with nuclear energy in the usual sense.
Nuclear energy is sometimes called atomic energy. However, atoms can be the source of both nuclear and chemical energy. Nuclear energy involves the atom's nucleus; chemical energy involves the atom's electrons—subatomic particles that surround the nucleus. Pound for pound, a nuclear fuel (a material used as a source of nuclear energy) will produce several million times as much energy as a chemical fuel such as gasoline. Nuclear fuels yield so much energy that even a heavy ship such as an aircraft carrier powered by nuclear energy can operate many years without refueling.

"... one of the leading lights of the New Jersey pop underground."
- The Newark Star-Ledger
"NJ's best acoustic/indie/pop act" - NJ
"Simply put, The Front Bottoms
play an eager and honest brand of indie rock/punk. They are
catchy and accessible but they are simultaneously punk as hell..."
- AbsolutePunk
"The Summer of Steroids"
NJ's THE FRONT BOTTOMS Release
Self-titled Debut on September 6th
Riding on a crest of anticipation for a debut full-length, New
Jersey indiepop duo THE FRONT BOTTOMS have
announced a September 6, 2011 release date
for their self-titled album on Bar/None Records
(The Feelies, Of Montreal, They Might Be Giants).
The band is launching the album with a FREE
download of the first single "THE BEERS,"a
paean about wooing a muscle-loving girl ("And
I will remember that Summer / As the Summer I was taking steroids
/ Cuz you like a man with muscles / And I like you"),
which can be downloaded here: http://www.reybee.com/the-beers.
The band are also playing a handful of shows straight through
the Summer, including a supporting slot for Seattle buzzband
He Is We (tour dates below).
A well-kept secret in their homestate, the release
of The Front Bottoms marks the band's national debut
which will undoubtedly fuel a big step for the boys. With shows
playing with bands
as diverse as Minus the Bear and Vanessa Carlton and well-received
spots on Bamboozle, Cupcake Fest, and Northern Jersey's
indie festival Waynestock among many others, their
live shows have been creating quite a stir. Described
rather accurately as "quirky, endearing and unapologetically
unpolished duo" by The Bergen Record,
they credit their undeniable creative fusion from their long-running
friendship. The Indie Post voted them
as "Band to Watch in 2011," saying,
"I am almost certain that the Front Bottoms will remember
this Summer as the Summer their careers finally took major flight."
Quirky yet
fiercely addictive, The Front Bottoms is an oddly endearing
collection of songs that is intensely musical and immediately
infectious. Circling around the compact setup of acoustic guitarist
Brian Sella's engaging, cracking vocals and
Mathew Uychich's compelling drumming and bullhorned
backing vocals, the album pulls out all the stops and propels
you into a surreal world of angst-riddled observations of youth,
foolish romance, and the kind of hilarious wordplay worthy of
David Sedaris. It kicks off with the skewed high school nostalgia
of "Flashlight" ("a lot of the
kids we graduated with are now homeless") to the vivid
fantasy of parental revenge ("I have this dream that I'm
hitting my dad with a baseball bat... and maybe halfway through
it, it has more to do with me killing him than it ever did protecting
myself") to the propulsive schadenfreudian pop of "Maps"
("one day you'll be washing yourself with handsoap
in a public bathroom") to the cautionary tale of buying
fireworks in "Mountain" ("I
bought fireworks / A big bag in Pennsylvania / I'm gonna light
'em up when I get home to Jersey / They'll probably arrest me").
Front Bottoms is Brian Sella (vocals/guitars)
and Matt Uychich (drums). Their debut album
The Front Bottoms will be released
September 6, 2011 on Bar/None Records.

A month ago, news spread out that American country crooner Taylor Swift, 22, and One Direction's Harry Styles, 18, had been in a "short fling," which resulted to mixed reactions and emotions of their fans worldwide. This news slowly died down, but went crazy again when X Factor host Mario Lopez revealed that he saw the two holding hands backstage at the U.S. X Factor last month.
Just this Sunday, the lenses of the media caught Taylor and Harry for the first time together, and this just only added more fuel to the rumor mill.
They were seen having some romantic stroll through New York's Central Park, hugging a friend's baby, and obviously playing the part of a happy couple.
Another insider—Mario told listeners of his 103.4 MY FM radio show: "Taylor Swift was the special guest performer, and [here's] a little inside scoop for you. During rehearsals, Harry from One Direction came and slapped me on the back, and said, 'Hey, Mario, how ya doing?' And I said, 'What are you doing here?' And he sort of [pointed] toward Taylor."
Cue the sound of million of hearts breaking. What do you think of their romance, Candy Girls? Is Haylor the next "big" name in Hollywood's celebrity couples list?

Private Practice Season 5 Finale PromoMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Well, babies born with anencephaly vary in how much of the brain is missing (brainstem is sometimes intact) and have lived anywhere from a minute to 2 years old depending on their care. I think it comes down to if the baby can't breathe on its own and they are willing to let nature take its course, then hooking the baby up to a ventilator etc to save the organs would be allowed, but it is hard to say.
I guess they would have to take the baby's organs while it is still alive (which would have to be during these first hours before inevitable death). The baby won't be "braindead" in the conventional sense, like the normal organ donators. So yes, it is murder, because it's too late to donate the organs after the baby has died by itself.
But that's just my guess.
The child has no brain right? So how is she killing it? It will be dead in minutes, because you can't go on living without a brain telling your body to breath, or have a heart beat right? So I'm not understanding the ethical dilemma, and why her boss needs to confirm with the lawyers weather or not she can donate her baby's organs while they are still functioning. Isn't this her choice?

2011 will be the year of green celebrity babies.
Alyssa Milano has joined other eco-conscious like Natalie Portman, Alicia Silverstone, Marion Cotillard, and Jessica Alba in announcing that she's expecting later this year. "Yes, it's true," she tweeted yesterday. "And we couldn't be happier. Thank you for your warm wishes and love!"
Late last year, Milano told Celebrity Baby Scoop that she and her husband, agent David Bugliari, were purchasing both a Nissan Leaf and a Chevy Volt in an effort to reduce their footprint — and become good role models for any future children.
"After the oil spill, I had this strong feeling that if I ever were to be blessed in having children, I never wanted my kids to see me pumping gas at a gas station," she said. "I think it's our responsibility to make the changes that we need to take regardless of convenience. I know it's more inconvenient to have an electric car, but I'll do what I have to do. I'm also a vegetarian. I have 5 dogs and 10 horses and about 90% of them are rescues."
Congrats to the happy couple! Who's next?!

Maybe Will Rogers said it best: "You can't pass a park without seeing a statue of some old codger on a horse. It must be his bravery; you can tell it isn't his horsemanship. Women are twice as brave as men, yet they never seem to have reached the statue age."
Since March, the Mayor's Commission on Public Art (COPA) has presented a series of public forums entitled "The Power of Public Space," setting out its process for selecting and maintaining the city's public art.
All were funded by the generosity of three savvy women who understand that historically, external legal freedoms were often denied women (juries, voting, education) but today, external artistic freedom need not be.
During Friday night's forum viewers skipped down West Main Street via powerpoint that took us from the Pee Wee Reese sculpture to The Tornado, past David, ending with The Bat, with intermittent stops at various bike racks and a small park, all testosterone-laden images.
The idea that only Louisville men have done anything worthwhile is outdated. OK, I confess. Sculptures named Molly the Rhino and Lucy the Giraffe are at the zoo, but there is so little public art of species woman that you could not name one.
Without visible female statues, we deprive visitors and citizens the opportunity to celebrate the importance of our women. Every female, old and young, looks at Louisville's public art wondering, "Where is someone who looks like me?"
I know COPA wants to correct the female gaps in public art, but it will take concerted leadership to make women visible in the future art pieces they select. It would be a fitting example of how COPA's community process came together for positive change, offering tributes to women's contributions.
Without commemorating women, COPA continues that "men only" narrative that marginalizes women.
In 1776, Abigail Adams asked her husband "to remember the ladies," but he did not do so. In the 21st century, women have reached statue age. I have complete faith that COPA will do better by Louisville women, the best reason being that we all want to inspire the next generation of girls - and to give Molly and Lucy a new friend.

U.S. as Iraq?
Many times I have wondered how it must feel to be in Iraq and leave the house to get groceries wondering if a suicide bomber will take you out before you return home.
The chaos of killings is a sure sign of a government failure to provide basic security to its citizens.
Increasingly it feels as though life in the United States is just as arbitrary.
Go to a movie and get gunned down; attend classes at a school and get shot by someone mad at a teacher.
Show up for work and get killed by a disgruntled co-worker.
Attend a house of worship and have an activist or skinhead kill you.
Or lead a community meeting and get gunned down.
Would the public dialogue shift a bit if survivors and families of victims of random gun violence would begin suing state and local governments for failing to provide basic security?
Which human right is the trump card? The right to own a military weapon with multiple-round magazines even if you are mentally ill, or, the right to live, work, pray, and attend school in security in your home community?
The only way the NRA will be stopped from turning us into an Iraq is for ordinary citizens affected by gun violence to begin to sue the government officials for failure to provide basic protection.

Are you concerned that your metal implants may set off metal detectors at the airport? The possibility exists, and it depends on factors, such as the size and metal content of your implants and the sensitivity of the metal detector.
Since the probing energy of metal detectors are capable of penetrating body tissue, the presence of metal inside your body may sound the alarm. However, studies examining patients with orthopedic implants (eg,
hip replacements
) found variable results from airport screening detectors.
One study conducted by Basu and colleagues compared patients with various types of implants. They also looked at the metal detector response to individuals with implants and volunteers with metal prosthetics strapped to their bodies. This study found that Richards cannulated screws (a type of hardware used in implant surgery) were the only metallic objects to consistently set off the detectors. Some artificial joints did sound the alarm, most notably Austin Moore prostheses, but others—specifically single joint replacements—did not. The results were similar for the implants and metal prosthetics strapped outside the body.
Travelers' mixed experiences with metal detectors at airports are due to a number of factors. The sensitivity of metal detectors is based on a scale of 1 to 15 (1 being the least sensitive, 15 being the most sensitive), and the average airport detector is set at five. Some detectors, particularly in high-risk security areas of the world, are set at seven. Detectors set at 10 will be activated by objects with very low metal content, such as coins and jewelry, and thus would create many false alarms and even longer lines at security checkpoints.
Implants with high iron content, such as Austin Moore prostheses, are the most likely to set off the alarms. Newer implants are often made with metals such as titanium and are less likely to set off detectors. These characteristics may also be influenced by outside factors, such as nearby sources of electromagnetic radiation.
Not all studies have found that surgical hardware in the body sets off metal detectors. In fact, with recent medical advances, many implants contain metals less likely to set off metal detector alarms. However, if you are traveling in an area considered high-risk, heightened security measures may require higher detector sensitivity settings, increasing your risk of setting off the alarm with your implant.
If you have metal implants in your body, it is possible that an airport metal detector will find it. Some doctors will give you a note explaining your condition. However, since there is no official card you can carry to verify the existence of your implant, if you set off the detector you will be asked to step aside for further screening.
Setting off the detector is not harmful to your body, but it may be an inconvenience in your travel schedule. So be prepared, especially in the United States and other areas with elevated security, to undergo further inspection and questioning at the airport. It is important to know that the possibility of your metal implant activating a detector does exist, so you should be prepared for a longer wait at the security checkpoint.

Ace Sanders returned to Jaguars practice on Sunday morning after a month-long leave of absence to deal with personal issues.
"I just felt back at home," Sanders said. "I got nothing but support from my teammates and everybody was happy to see me."
"In the team meeting, we welcomed him back and guys clapped," head coach Gus Bradley said. "It was more after the team meeting that guys went up to him. But Ace's spirit is great and the team felt it right away."
Sanders did a conditioning session on the practice fields but is hopeful he can play on Thursday when the Jaguars face the Falcons in the preseason finale.
"I think it depends on my conditioning," Sanders said. "I'm striving to be out there on Thursday."
Sanders will miss the first four games of the regular season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. League rules allow Sanders to participate in training camp and preseason games, but the wide receiver said he felt it was best to step away from the game.
"I got a lot of stuff worked out that I needed to get worked out," Sanders said. "I just gotta keep moving on from this point. It was a much bigger positive than I thought it was. I learned a lot about myself and life in general."

Sunndach a tha mi

Tog orm mo chiall, tog orm mo bhith
Le cridhe aodrom, cridheil, ciuin

Is ged tha an saoghal dol bun os cionn

Gaelic translation:
The road is stretching to the north
Great glens scattered on every side
The sun glinting through the mountain pines
Arrows of gold wounding us in joy
My soul said, "Come across to see me
Put your burdens and hardships behind you
This temporary place will give us welcome
And I will be with you again"
I am contented
Passing through the beautiful, eternal landscape
You were always in my thoughts
Through the low days and the heartbreak
Lift up my understanding, clothe me in my existence
With a light, a pleasing and a gentle heart
Many were the oceans that carried your people
As they journeyed far from you
Although the world has turned upside down
And the distance of yeasis upon us
And although my hope is riding to the heights
Many clouds will approach the summit
But the skies are blue, the skies are warm
With a warmth so profound it can not be described
And the flower that is growing an Domhnall Ban's croft
Is as yellow as it ever was

An bhfuil aon duine co/ip den da/n seo as Gaeilge?

=46rom the Middle Irish
(trans: Whitley Stokes)
Thus sang the sages of the Gael
Athousand years ago well-nigh
Hearken how the Lord on high
Wrought man, to breathe and laugh and wail,
To hunt and war, to plow and sail,
To love and teach, to pray and die!
Then said the sages of the Gael:
Of parcels eight was Adam built.
The first was earth, the second sea,
The third and fourth were sun and cloud,
The fifth was wind, the sixth was stone,
The seventh was the Holy Ghost,=20
The last, the Light which lighteth God.
Then sang the sages of the Gael:
Mans body, first, was built of earth,
to lodge a living soul from birth,
and earthward home again to go
when time and death have spoken so.
Then of the sea his blood was dight
to bound in love and flow in fight.
Next, of the sun, to see the skies,
his face was framed with shining eyes.
from hurrying hosts of cloud was wrought
his roaming, rapid-changeful thought.
then of the wind was made his breath
to come and go from birth to death.
and then of earth-sustaining stone
was built his flesh-upholding bone.
the Holy Ghost, like cloven flame,
the substance of his soul became;
of light which lighteth God was made
man's conscience, so that unafraid
his soul thgrough haunts of night and sin
may pass and keep all clean within.
Now, if the earthiness redound,
he lags through life a slothful hound.
But, if it be the sea that sways,
in wild unrest he wastes his days.
whene'er the sun is sovran, there
the heart is light, the face is fair.
if clouds prevail, he lives in dreams
a deedless life of gloom and gleams.
If stone bear rule, he masters men,
and ruthless is their ransom then.
But when the wind has won command
his word is harder than his hand.
the Holy Ghost, if He prevail,
Man lives exempt from lasting bale,
and, gazing with the eyes of God,
of all he sees at home, abroad,
discerns the inmost heart, and then
reveals it to his fellow-men,
and they are truer, gentler, more
heroic than they were before.
But he on whom the Light Divine
is lavished bears the sacred sign,
and men draw nigh in field or mart
to hear the wisdom of his heart.
for he is calm and clear of face,
and unperplexed he runs his race,
because his mind is always bent
on Right, regardless of event.
Of each of those eight things decreed
to make and mold the human breed,
let more or less in man and man
be set as God has framed his plan.
But still there is a ninth in store
(Oh grant it now and evermore!)
our freedom, wanting which, we read,
the bulk of earth, the strength of stone,
the bounding life o' the sea, the speed
of clouds, the splendor of the sun,
the never-flagging flight of wind,
the fervor of the Holy Ghost,
the Light before the angels' host,
though all be in our frame combined,
grow tainted, yea, of no avail.
So sang the sages of the Gael.

Reno, NV (KRNV & MyNews4.com) -- Under the Rose Brewing Company opened on 4th Street in Reno last summer and co-owners Scott Emond and Jesse Kleinedler say business is going well.
"I made my first batch, looked at my wife and said I want to do this for a living," says Scott Emond, a co-owner of the Under the Rose Brewing Company.
Under the Rose Brewing Company produces four different beers, a Blonde, a Saison, a British and a Porter beer.
Scott says what inspires him is the culture, "I like the sense of community that's already there and that's why we are kind of down here to further create a community down on 4th street, kind of act as a cornerstone down here."
If you want to be a part of something local, Scott, Jesse and their dog, Avi will be waiting with a fresh pint.
On Thursday, April 24, 2014 you can head to the Under the Rose Brewing Company for dinner and a drink. The Mellow Yellow Food Truck will be set up inside the brewery from 5p.m. to 8p.m.

Bindings should not be affected by a spec change. Right now, the bindings do not care about spec. They don't care about characters either, do they? I'm guessing not, because I can't figure out how to use different key binds for each character.

Unwelcome guest tased by police on SLC front porch
Published April 22, 2014 3:29 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2014, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
A 26-year-old man was tased by Salt Lake City police Monday after he was found allegedly intoxicated, sitting on someone's porch without permission.
According to Salt Lake City police, officers responded to 2246 S. 900 East just before midnight on Monday on reports that the homeowner had an unwelcome guest sitting on his front porch.
An officer arrived and ordered the 26-year-old man to get on the ground, but the man would not respond or comply with the officer's order. Police say that once the man replied "No," to the officer's commands and took "a fighting posture," the officer deployed his taser.
He was arrested and booked into jail on suspicion of public intoxication, trespassing and resisting arrest.

|Screening chemical libraries for compounds that affect protein sorting to the yeast vacuole.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 24306869 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Protein trafficking to the yeast vacuole has been extensively studied using a series of deletion mutants. In these genetic screens, mis-targeted vacuolar cargo proteins were used as phenotype markers. Here we describe a similar approach employing pharmacological effects of diverse chemical compounds to mimic molecular phenotypes caused by conventional genetic mutations in protein trafficking genes.

Rhubarb and Asparagus Top Chef Style
Leave it to Top Chefs to come up with interesting seasonal recipes using fresh produce from farmers' markets. This pickled rhubarb and asparagus side dish is from Stephanie Izard, winner of Top Chef Chicago, but it's nowhere to be found in Bravo TV's collection of recipes from the show. It was posted in Green City Market's website back when she was the executive chef of now-defunct Scylla.
Stumbling upon a list of recipes from Chicago's well-regarded chefs is such an interesting find for me. Surprisingly, most of the dishes seem accessible enough while taking advantage of the season's best offerings.
A quick search for rhubarb recipes usually turns up desserts so this savory preparation really stood out from the rest.
recipe adapted from Green City Market
Pickled Rhubarb with Roasted Asparagus and Pistachio Roll Cheese
For the pickled rhubarb:
rhubarb stalks, sliced thinly
1 cup sugar
1 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
Bring the sugar, vinegar, and salt to a boil. As soon as all of the sugar is dissolved, pour over the sliced rhubarb. Let stand for at least 3 hours.
To Serve:
Serve with crisp roasted asparagus. I had some fresh cheese rolled in pistachios and it was the perfect substitute for the goat cheese and almonds suggested in the original recipe.

New high school inflates city's commercial construction totals
The past year recorded 68 building permits for new single family homes, according to a rough draft of the city's year-end report.
The homes valuations total more than $5.6 million and drew in $13,600 in parks fees. The city uses fees acquired from developments to finance new parks that sustain the added residents. However, developers can also choose to donate park land instead. The recreation commission has suggested the city revise the way it acquires park fees in order to acquire more money.
Many of the single-family home permits were for the Wakarusa Ridge Estates and Shadow Ridge developments.
The city approved permits for just three duplex units in 2002. Plans for duplexes for an area south of Prairie Estates failed approval in fall 2001, and duplex proposals for a Shadow Ridge addition passed rezoning just recently. The permits for duplexes in 2002 were for the senior citizen housing near Eudora Nursing Center.
No apartment permits were granted for the year, and the multifamily rezoning request for the Shadow Ridge addition was modified for duplex during the approval phase.
The valuation on added commercial permits exceeded the $5.65 million valuation for single family housing units, even though those permits reflect just four different endeavors. That's because the $8.2 million and change in valuation included about $7.7 million for the new Eudora High School, said building inspector Rick Treas. The rest of the amount reflects city projects and the Warren-McElwain Eudora Chapel.

Daniel Radcliffe isn't afraid to fess up to his self-deprecating demeanor.
"It's more important for me to be very critical because I've grown up in an atmosphere where everyone is always wanting to be nice to me and say what I'm doing is great," the former Harry Potter star muses in a recent interview with MailOnline. "And so you don't trust that. Ultimately you have to look to yourself or a handful of people to get a proper opinion. I'm seriously critical of myself—if I wasn't I would be worried."
Always keen on bettering himself, the 25-year-old stud admits to watching the Harry Potter flicks with an intention of finding fault in his work, and despite the praise for his acting, the handsome Britt would prefer if his early endeavors were not caught on camera.
"I never liked watching myself on film but I do make myself sit through it," he says. "And that's why it's hard to watch a film like Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince, because I'm just not very good in it. I hate it."
Although Radcliffe calls the Potter films an "incredible blessing," he can't help but express his distaste for his own personal performances.
"My acting is very one-note and I can see I got complacent and what I was trying to do just didn't come across," he explains. "My best film is the fifth one [Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix] because I can see a progression."
While the beloved boy wizard may still have trouble shedding his Potter persona, he has come into his own after starring in films such as Kill Your Darlings in addition to the play Equus, where he went fully nude on stage.
"I certainly think that after Kill Your Darlings and my role on Broadway in The Cripple of Inishmaan, the debate as to whether I can do things outside of Potter is near to ending," he admits (presumably breathing a sigh of relief).
Meanwhile, Radcliffe makes his rom-com debut in the flick What If, in which he plays a boy who falls in love with his best friend.
NEWS: Daniel Radcliffe talks losing his virginity and sober sex
"I think this is the part where I play someone most like myself," he reveals. "I'm definitely the geeky guy who wants to be in a relationship. And it was a big thing for me to do a modern-day romance. There was no point in this film where I had to get covered in blood, or cry over the body of someone, or pull someone out of a muddy bog."
The Woman in Black actor is currently dating his Kill Your Darlings co-star Erin Darke, who must have both beauty and brains, considering the celeb says he only goes for "intelligent girls."
"I'm a serial monogamist, though," he admits. "I think the shortest relationship that I was in was six months and I think I've been pretty lucky because I've never gone for the wrong type of girl."
Radcliffe, who also shares that he's "never actually been dumped," adds that he's hasn't had to worry about girls dating him for the wrong reasons because he's a "pretty good judge of character."
Unless, of course, he's assessing his acting ability (don't be so hard on yourself, Daniel!).

While looking through your PF to find the original image of 'Anger or Despair' (TGIF) I stated at the last page, and worked my way through to about page 37 (which I think is where I found TGIF). At some point, I'm going to go through from page 1 to page 37, to look at the rest because while doing it, I've realised something ... You've got a very particular style of processing which I thought I'd get bored of page after page - but in fact the opposite's happened. I think it's absolutely brilliant. It's something you do incredibly well, and although it may not be to everyone's taste, I'm finding that it's very definitely to mine! I think it's because you suit that particular process to the subjects you take. In fact, I don't think I found a single image of yours so far where it doesn't work
Your work is hugely inspirational, and I hope you don't mind me saying so.

I live in Massachusetts an we have "socialized" health care system that you have to buy health care or you are fined. It was created by Mitt Romney and Obama based his health care plan on it.
It works as long as you never work. I didn't have a job when it first came around and never had to pay a co-pay, went to hospital for free, never did a thing. Six months after I got a job they screwed me over and dropped me. Which reminds me I need to call them and see what is going on.
Pretty much, the American health care system is the biggest joke in the world, and "Romney-Obamacare" doesn't really do a thing to fix it.
While I agree Obamacare is a poor substitute for universal/single-payer what-have-you, I still support it because it has managed to push the idea into the public discourse that access to healthcare just might be a human right. There's no way Obama could have passed single-payer, but now us far left loony liberals have something to sink our teeth into and drag the conversation back to the left a little bit.
Actually Obama could have based a single payer system. He had the votes in the house and the senate, but he didn't push for it hard enough, because, like most liberals, he's a whiney crybaby that just sits in the corner and bitches about Republicans instead of taking them on. I will never forgive him for the fact he just sat around and did nothing while the bill got watered down into nothing. Companies shouldn't have control over my health and profit from me being sick, or let me die because it's cheaper.

I couldn't get health care through my job, because of Mass Health. At Lowes you could get insurance for part time workers until Masshealth passed, then it was dropped. Then I quit that job, and got a seasonal one that pays more. So now even through I'm not employed, I'll probably have to pay some stupid monthly fee based on a jobI no longer have.

Am i training my horse to lunge right?...
I don't know how to lunge a horse correctly or train one to do it, but i wanted to try training my horse in my own way...So I started by rubbing the whip all over him so he wouldn't fear it then i made him stand where he was and i backed away from him and stood at his side about 8-10 feet away then i lifted the whip and popped it behind him (didn't hit him)and when he started moving around me i followed him with it while holding it out and up level to his thigh and then lifted it higher and popped it for going faster and then to stop him i lowered the whip and told him whoa and pulled him toward the center. I assumed that if he learned that higher whip meant faster and lower, slower, and whip touching ground, stop, i wouldn't have to pop it anymore or pull him to the center. Is that anything close to how you are really supposed to do it?...
To slow down but not stop, move your body forward smoothly and slowly and stop all "driving" motions. Get about least even with the shoulder line, drop the whip point, and maybe even aim it away from the horse.
Use your vocal command to tell him what gait you want: "Trot" when he is cantering, "Walk" when he is trotting, "Walk" when he is cantering. I usually make the sound sloooooow and calm: "waaaaaaaa-aaalk," "Teeeer-roooot" and so on. You'll want to use whatever you find easiest and works for the horse.
Watch him and move in response to his reactions. If he suddenly throws the brakes, then you moved too forward too quickly. If he doesn't respond, move more forward or more noticeably. Every horse is individual. You will need to watch him as you move and make adjustments.

Ignoring All The Gun Safety Rules
Someone who should have known better:
Authorities say an employee at a New Mexico gun shop was unloading a handgun when he accidentally shot a customer in the back, wounding him.
Besides forgetting the basics, I'd be curious to know why the gun was loaded in the first place. I've never been in a gun store where the guns were - already or not - loaded for the customer.

The Irrationality of Emotion?
News of the Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown CT has quickly erupted into an ideological war on gun legislation at social media sites (e.g., #GunLawsNow) and among various news organizations (both satire and serious). Many are saying that, on the day of the shooting, it is too soon to discuss these issues, that the country is too emotional to make rational decisions about a polarizing topic like gun legislation.
It is problematic, however, to argue that emotion is an inherently irrational human experience. Catherine A. Lutz writes in her book, Unnatural Emotions: Everyday sentiments on a Micronesian Atoll & Their Challenge to Western Theory:
When the emotional is defined as irrational, all those occasions and individuals in which emotion is identified can be dismissed, and when the irrational is defined as emotional, it becomes sensible to label "emotional" those who would be discounted. In this society, those groups which have traditionally 'been conceived of as passional beings, incapable of sustained rationality' . . . include 'infants, children, adolescents, mental patients, primitive people, peasants, immigrants, Negroes, slumdwellers, urban masses, crowds, and most of all, women' . . . . Emotion becomes an important metaphor for perceived threats to established authority. . . . To the powerful, this is their chaos; to the groups themselves, it is their impulse toward freedom.
Certainly events like the Sandy Hook shooting stir up deep emotions within us, but this is not what it means to be irrational. The person who shoots 20 children and 6 adults needs to be our example of a person acting irrationally. In our emotional state, we are reminded that we need to take "meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this."
My sympathies go out to the families of the victims and all of those affected by today's tragedy.

Until the American populace takes seriously underdiagnosed/undertreated mental illness that can lead to an event like this, I don't think anyone can rest safely. . .with or without guns. At best medication compliance in the mentally ill populace is 40%. . .at best! Recent studies have shown that patients with certain mental health disorders that show 100% compliance with their medications, reduces criminality across the board. I can provide the article on that one if any readers are interested. Sandy Hook, like the Colorado theater shootings of recent, were most likely perpetrated by mis/underdiagnosed/noncompliant mentally ill. Reform mental health initiatives and research funding, and you'll have my interest in politics. . .maybe for the first time.
Thanks for posting this. Looking back in my life I have always had a bias against emotion and its expression. This goes back not only to my Church of Christ heritage* but my personal nature as well. Mr. Spock of Star Trek was my hero and I thought of him the model of how one ought to be. He was of course meant to be the archetype of reason and logicality and to play off of the opposite pole of the emotional Doctor. It would have been beneficial for me to have read the marvelous quote from Catherine and to have been led in that direction. She is right that emotion is perceived by some of the powerful as a threat to their authority. It is also feared by adherents of the status quo and lovers of order as the route to chaos. That being said I still want to attach the label of irrational to those who are afraid to budge even an inch on gun legislation. Images can provide a good means of emotionally conveying valid messages about this issue. I like the one titled "Second Amendment Scoreboard" which shows a blackboard and two columns. One column has a list of Tyrants Overthrown the other column is labelled Co-workers, Teachers, Students, Store Clerks, etc and of course there are no marks on the left hand column but dozens are marked off on the right.
So what about mental illness? Back in the seventies the general culture was paying attention to psychology and what it could learn from it and how it could help. But the irrational and overly emotional leaders of the religious right inveighed against it and culture in general lost interest. Acknowledging and focusing on mental illness produces discomfort in those who desire to connect all bad things with sin.

Pretoria siblings win Spirit of AfricaComment on this story
The Pretoria brother and sister combination of Jaacie Visagie and Irma Schoeman are the 2012 Amarok Spirit of Africa champions after following the finals on the farm Aussenkehr in southern Namibia.
By all accounts it was the toughest Spirit of Africa in the competition's eight years. Just how tough is illustrated by the fact that the winning score was 62 percent compared to 87 percent in 2011.
According to the convenor, race and rally legend Sarel van der Merwe, the terrain, on the northern bank of the Orange River, 25km from the Vioolsdrif border post, was spectacular but very difficult and varied from sand dunes to rock climbs. The 20 tests included both technical exercises, usually carried out at very slow speeds, as well as high-speed tests.
The runners-up were Callie Otto and Neels Labuschagne and third were Piet and Madelien Kotze, twice previous winners of the event. Christiaan Otto from Bultfontein, winner in 2010 and 2011, was fourth with his wife Chane.
Making up the top 10 were Tiaan and Sanet Theunissen with 1 123 points, Nico van Staden and Soon Bezuidenhout (1 090 points), Salomon and Anton Victor (1 036 points), Juan Grant and Douw Roode (987 points), Leon and Lienkie Labuschagne (976 points) and Andre and Yvonne de Villiers (950 points).
The top three teams won cash prizes of R50 000, R30 000 and R10 000 respectively.
