Re: followed all steps but can't see songs when garage band is selected in response to skarfskimask
You have to put a little more effort in explaining your problem/question.
- What steps did you do?
- You cannot "burn from iPad to disc, so are you talking a bout a two step process?
- By "PC" do you mean Windows machine (and not a Mac)
- With "Song", do you mean the Song File (GarageBand Project file to be opened on the computer) or do you mean the mixed and bounced version of your Song (audio file, i.e. mp3)
skarfskimask Feb 3, 2013 5:55 AM
Re: followed all steps but can't see songs when garage band is selected in response to Edgar
Edgar-thanks for the reply
Actually, what I'm doing is using Garage Band (on iPad) to rip vinyl. I've got the songs saved as single tracks in Garage Band. I want to share the songs via iTunes then sync to iTunes on a PC (yes, a Windows machine). After that I'd burn a copy to cd. Eventually, I'll do the same with original recordings mixed and bounced. So right now I guess the tracks would be Garage Band Project files.
This is what I've done following the steps outlined in Article: TS3642 (GarageBand for iOS: Sharing songs with iTunes for Windows.
1.) iPad- in Garage Band select My Songs<Edit then highlight song
2.)tap Share Song Via iTunes then
3.)the Choose Format screen pops up< select iTunes
4.) the Share song screen appears<enter artist, album name and select audio quality(high quality 192kBit/s<tap share.
5.) Garage Band then sends song to iTunes
6.) Sync iOS device (iPad) with my computer (Windows)
7.) In iTunes (on PC) select iOS device (iPad) click Apps tab, and select Garage Band
The last step is where you should be able to see your songs- I see Garage Band but not the songs?
So, I'm trying to get the songs into iTunes on my PC and burn to disc.
your reply and help are greatly appreciated.
Edgar Feb 3, 2013 10:26 PM
Re: followed all steps but can't see songs when garage band is selected in response to skarfskimask
Your steps are correct and your audio file should be available in the iTunes File Sharing section for GargeBand.
THe only thing I could think of is that you exported the GarageBand Project File and not the GarageBand (mixed) Audio File. Exporting a GarageBand Project File to a WIndow's iTunes doesn't make much sense because GarageBand 11 is not available for Windows.
Make sure to click on the iTunes button in step 2)Hope that helps

text: Home > Medical > ADHD > Overview Updated 19 May 2015 Causes of ADHD ADHD is caused by differences in neurotransmitter patterns in certain parts of the brain. ADHD has a genetic component, and a group of genes involved has been identified. 1 ADHD is caused by differences in neurotransmitter patterns in certain parts of the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that make it possible for nerve impulses to travel from one nerve cell to another, and therefore play an essential role in the functioning of the brain. The brain performs a vast range of tasks or functions, allowing us, for instance, to see, hear, think, speak and move. Each function is performed by a different part of the brain. In individuals with ADHD there are lower than normal levels of certain neurotransmitters (especially dopamine) in the regions of the brain that are responsible for regulating behaviour and attention. Research also confirms that the norepinephrine system is also involved in some patients.Genetic componentADHD has a genetic component and a group of genes involved has been identified. The genetic component is confirmed with epidemiological studies looking at family groups. Research has shown that in the case of identical twins, if one of the twins has ADHD there is an almost 100% chance that the other twin will show symptoms of ADHD.ADHD can also be present in some patients with neurological damage occurring either before or after birth. Certain developmental disorders or syndromes, like foetal alcohol syndrome, are associated with a higher incidence of ADHD.Diet is often cited as the cause for ADHD. Patients with malnutrition or a poor diet may manifest some of the symptoms. In a small subgroup, dietary factors may play a role in the worsening of symptoms, especially that of impulsivity/hyperactivity in younger children. Ongoing research is looking at the role that essential fatty acids play in some patients. Poisoning with heavy metals like lead will create a similar clinical picture in some patients.Although environmental factors do not play a causal role in ADHD, a disorganised, chaotic and stressful environment can cause behaviour which mimics that of ADHD.Read more:What is ADHD?Diagnosing ADHDTreating ADHDReviewed by Dr A van der Walt, MMed (Paed) BSc Hon (Human Genetics) April 2015.

There was a slight color shift but nothing like the orange cast and lack of contrast that ruined Polaroid 600 shots.
Remember that the ISO 3200 is actually an ISO ~1000 formulation with a reflective back layer to add to the sensitivity. So it isn't nearly as sensitive to age as real ISO 3200 film.
Umm real "ISO 3200 film" is also actually 1000 that pushes well....
Also, so that's what the white backing is? It reflects light back onto the film for added intensity?

A Note from June
Back in the 1980s, for about a year, I commuted from Dutchess County to work for the Associated Press in Manhattan. I remember the day that I realized I couldn't do it any more. It wasn't the four hours a day on the train that did me in. It was the homeless man who slept stretched out across the entrance to Grand Central Station at Madison Avenue and 44th Street.
I realized one morning that I'd stopped seeing him.
I used to look to make sure he was breathing, at least. I'd think about the temperature, whether it was too cold to be sleeping outside. Sometimes, I'd think about tucking a dollar in his pocket, although to be honest, I never did.
But one morning, I realized that I was stepping over his legs without a thought. Right along with thousands of other people.
I blamed New York. This city is stealing my soul, I thought. If I go on like this, there will be nothing left of me. And, two weeks later, I accepted a newspaper job upstate.
Fast forward to 1996, and a place called Fountain House. I was living in New York with my fiancé, Bill Lichtenstein, and backward-commuting to work upstate. One day, Bill called me at work to say that he'd just received a substantial grant to make a film about people with schizophrenia. Did I think I could go over to this place on West 47th Street and find some people with interesting stories?
At that point I'd neither visited nor researched Fountain House. I'd imagined it, though. "Psychiatric rehabilitation center," we've all imagined that, right? Grey or green or pale pink walls. Scratched linoleum floors. Vinyl-covered furniture with cigarette burns. And the people: vacant-eyed, shaky people, sitting for hours in front of the television looking up only to swallow their medication or perhaps shuffle along to a crafts class.
Well, check your preconceptions in the front lobby (which looks exactly like the reservation desk at an exclusive resort hotel). The place is gorgeous. Crystal chandeliers. Persian rugs, real ones. Mahogany desks. The décor is more Ethan Allen than institution.
And the people are amazing. To begin, it is almost impossible to tell the staff from the people with mental illnesses, and the staff actually brags about that fact. And the people who are recovering there are "members," not "patients," because language is important, and this is their clubhouse, and they have as much say in its operation as anyone else. There are no closed-door conferences to talk about patients behind their back. In fact, there are very few closed doors of any kind. Staff and members also brag that at one time, you had to walk through the director's office to get to the bathroom.
People who come to this place are partners in their own progress. They may be resistant at first, from fear or anger or confusion, but there's a subtle and lovely compulsion that makes progress nearly inevitable. "If a person can't or doesn't want to wait on tables, we'll have them peel potatoes," the kitchen director told me, early on. "If they won't do that, we have them fold napkins. If that's too much for them, they can sit and talk to me while I work. Eventually, they ask if they can help. It's human nature to want to be a part of what's going on around you.
"You have to realize that for some people, just getting dressed and coming here in the morning is a really big deal."
The operating premise for a clubhouse like Fountain House follows a core belief in the whole-ness of an individual, the humanity inherent in each person. No matter how ill or confused, hostile or delusional, behind all the symptoms the clubhouse ethos sees a well person, someone looking for the same things we all need: a home, a job, some friends. And maybe a hot meal once a day.
Relationships formed through this therapy can be deep and lasting, and often transcend the place. Staff and members sometimes see each other on their "off hours" at night and on weekends. It's a community, egalitarian and inter-dependent.
It was a community strong and elastic enough to make room for a couple of filmmakers when we started showing up every day with a camera and a microphone. And we weren't just tolerated: these people, struggling with serious thought disorders and mood disorders, enfolded us. They remembered my name, and my birthday. They asked about my sick Mom, and about our wedding plans. I ate with them, went on outings with them and shared my life with them as they shared theirs with me.
I had no idea how unusual an experience this was. Because sadly, this is not the way people relate to each other elsewhere in the mental health system. Two years into our filming, I learned about that.
We'd been following Phil around Fountain House for months. We knew him to be a handful lively, loud and profane. I once asked his caseworker, a sweet older lady from Alabama, about Phil's diagnosis. Was he manic-depressive? Schizophrenic? Did he have an obsessive-compulsive disorder?
"Honey," Odie drawled, "Phil's got it ALL."
We also knew Phil as a person who carried some responsibility at Fountain House. He worked in the kitchen/dining room, preparing food and waiting on tables at lunchtime. And his jokes made us laugh. One day, we arrived to learn that Phil had become louder and a little more confused than usual, and was staying temporarily on a psychiatric ward at a fine New York hospital, respected worldwide for its research and treatment of serious mental illness. We knew the director, and got permission to visit Phil and bring our camera.
I sort of suspected the psychiatric ward would look different from Fountain House, more institutional. I expected the locked doors and the antiseptic décor. I didn't expect that they'd treat my friend Phil like half a person. And I really didn't expect that at lunchtime, we'd be escorted to a glass-enclosed cubicle to lunch with the staff, while the patients were fed at a table outside. The nurses and psychiatric aides were astonished and clearly a little appalled when Bill and I excused ourselves and went back outside to eat with Phil and the other patients.
That day, all of the patients talked to us. Phil was happy to be back on camera. Other patients asked if they could be, too.
Phil's psychiatrist, on the other hand, ducked whenever we pointed the camera at her. We eventually cut the whole scene, in part because audiences were confused by her disembodied voice off-camera. And his social worker carried on a completely bizarre discussion about whether Phil had chalked up enough brownie points to allow him to go to the dining hall with an escort. "Are you going to behave now, Phil? Keep taking your medication and sleeping through the night?" he asked, in exactly the same tone I use with my cranky three-year-old.
I was so upset after that visit that I had dreams about breaking Phil out of the hospital. I asked everybody I knew who worked in mental health: Why do they talk to people like that? Does treating a person like a child improve their prognosis? And what about all the walls and doors and why, please, why won't the staff eat with the patients?
Why, that's the way it's done everywhere, they told me, a little amused at my naiveté. Didn't you know?
And suddenly, I did know. Fountain House, and its special therapeutic mix of respect and responsibility, was an anomaly. No wonder so many people with mental illness around the country are terrified to seek treatment.
Making this film was a life-altering experience. I will never again look at someone with a disability, any disability, as if he or she is a lesser person. Or, for that matter, even different. They are just exactly as complex or simple-minded, warm or irritating, brave or whiny, as am I.
And I learned that mental illness is a great leveler. Black or white, deaf or hearing, rich or poor: schizophrenia, depression and manic depression don't discriminate. What's the biblical saying? "No Respecter of Persons?" That applies. You can have an Ivy League degree or two and parents with homes on three continents, you can be well-read and well-traveled, you can be in your third year at Julliard ... and you can still find yourself homeless and hungry, on the street, talking to the voices in your head.
Perhaps the most profound experience for me has been traveling with the film, seeing it through the eyes of a new audience every few weeks. The response has been the same, from Paris to Cleveland, Atlanta to Vancouver. People with no experience of mental illness find the stories heart-warming, tragic and inspiring all at once, and say it changes the way they see these disorders. Family members with a sick relative want to know how to find a place like Fountain House in their town. Psychiatrists and social workers say they're moved to reconsider the way they relate to their own patients.
This is important, useful feedback because it means West 47th Street is having exactly the impact we hoped it would. It means that we're helping to break down barriers that keep people apart.
But for me, all of that pales in comparison somehow to the people who come up to us at the end of every screening. They hang back until everybody else has left the room.
"I have a mental illness," they whisper. "I know what it's like.
"Thank you for telling my story."
— June Peoples

Unisys announced in September a four-part cloud computing strategy that will enable clients to move their enterprise application workloads securely to tailored cloud environments and give them confidence in maintaining the integrity of their critical information.
In this Exclusive Q&A with Cloud Computing Journal in the run-up to SYS-CON's 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo (November 2-4, 2009) - Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan speaks with Rich Marcello - Unisys President, Systems & Technology - about the Unisys Secure Cloud and sets the scene for the upcoming Unisys Cloud-in-a-box.
Cloud Computing Journal: Starting at 35,000 feet, what overall relationships does Unisys see between cloud computing and the increasingly real-time needs of today's enterprise?
Rich Marcello: I believe that cloud computing will revolutionize the way enterprises obtain IT and business services because of a number of converging factors - 1) the economy has forced enterprises to rethink their traditional cost models and minimize their capital expenditures in favor of pay-as-you-go models, 2) the need for anywhere, anytime IT since data sets continue to grow exponentially, and 3) the shift in the way IT works with, for example, virtualization and automation, which enable cloud computing.
Cloud Computing Journal: So cloud computing isn't just a buzzword, it's actually a glimpse of the future of enterprise IT so far as you are concerned?
Rich Marcello: Absolutely. When you think about "IT as a service", ease of delivery, access from anywhere at anytime, the ability to have a totally flexible IT infrastructure, and the cost benefits of a subscription or pay as you go model, you realize very quickly cloud computing, in any of its forms (internal, external, hybrid) is here to stay.
Cloud Computing Journal: I understand, though, there are some concerns with moving to the Cloud.
Marcello: That's right. Security is a big concern as well as privacy of the data once it leaves a client's data centers and the ability of a cloud provider to meet the client's compliance requirements. Additionally, there's concern about whether or not a client's applications can be moved to the cloud without rewriting them. Unisys addresses each of these concerns with Unisys Cloud Computing Strategy and solutions portfolio announced June 30, 2009.
Cloud Computing Journal: Tell me more about this new Strategy and what it means to your clients.
Marcello: We announced a four-part cloud computing strategy that will enable clients to move their enterprise application workloads securely to tailored cloud environments and give them confidence in maintaining the integrity of their critical information. We're delivering on the first two parts this year beginning with our June 30 announcement and the availability of our Cloud Transformation Services, followed by our Unisys Secure Cloud Solution available on July 31. Our "Cloud-in-a-box" solution planned for later this year is a comprehensive IT infrastructure package that will enable quick and cost-effective implementation of a private cloud. We also plan to deliver hybrid cloud technologies early next year that will provide the best of managed and dedicated services by combining public and private cloud capabilities.
Our comprehensive Cloud Transformation Services include Advisory and Assessment services that can provide our clients with strategic guidance on how best to move to the cloud.
Cloud Computing Journal: How are you leveraging your breadth of Enterprise IT experience?
Marcello: We believe our strong heritage in Data Center Transformation and Outsourcing is foundational to cloud computing - you can't begin to offer a cloud computing solution unless you understand the data center and are true experts. We've been helping clients transform their data centers and make the right IT sourcing decisions for a long time by leveraging our services, technology, and outsourcing capabilities so they can achieve maximum return from capital expenditures, reduce operating expenses, and increase business performance. Our heritage of experience and innovation combined with our independent thinking, innovative infrastructure and sourcing capabilities deliver data center solutions that are secure, productive and reliable. We see all of this as a key advantage over other cloud providers who are just entering this market.
Cloud Computing Journal: How big an issue is security for enterprises who wish to migrate toward this kind of an infrastructure wholly or in part?
Marcello: As I mentioned earlier, security is the biggest barrier to cloud adoption as cited by organizations and industry analysts, as well as our own clients in a recent survey we conducted.
When it comes to security in a cloud it's really about the workloads and how clients can confidently move them to the cloud. A lot of vendors talk security in the cloud but we've tackled this issue head-on and believe we have an advantage. Security is inherent in all Unisys operations and offerings and, like Data Center Transformation and Outsourcing, is one of Unisys four key areas of strength.
We address security by ensuring operational excellence. Unisys Secure Cloud services teams operate ISO 20000-certified delivery processes that are ITIL V3-compliant. All of this protection is delivered in independently audited and ISO 270001-certified delivery centers. We utilize security best practices - a layered multi-vendor approach to security with Intrusion Detection and Prevention Services (IDPS), firewall management, 24x7 security monitoring, advanced correlation and analytics, auditable logs, and so forth.
From a cloud perspective, our commitment is to provide a security framework that is as good as or better than any clients could establish for themselves. We do all of this and more with the addition of our patent-pending Stealth technology that allows private communities of interest based on FIPS 140-2, 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption and cloaks the data with proprietary "bit splitting". Unlike other approaches to security, Unisys Stealth is very simple to deploy and does not require rewriting applications. We believe this is a key differentiator as Stealth technology allows different groups in a multi-tenant client environment to share the same IT infrastructure without fear of exposing one client's data to another, and there's no need for the client to rewrite the applications it chooses to move to the cloud.
Cloud Computing Journal: What kinds of applications need security that your cloud offers?
Marcello: Clients who have workloads that require application, database or user security will have exposure if they put such workloads onto an unsecured cloud service. Consequently, today companies are primarily using unsecured cloud services for workloads that have few security needs, such as Application Development and Testing or basic Web services, along with some less secure email workloads.
With Unisys Secure Cloud, you can move conventional business applications that contain patient data, employee, financial, or customer information, or document management or disaster recovery applications to the cloud environment. In addition to security, most of these applications tend to require quite a bit of IT infrastructure and staff time to manage even though they tend to run in spurts and are quite cyclical or the workloads can dramatically vary in size from one period to the next. For example, they may only run at the end of day, end of week, month, or year. Some good examples are: Budgeting and planning; or HR systems like employee self-service, or time reporting. Retailers have massive swings in system demand from one season to the next and need flexible capacity. IT also has workloads that are cyclical in nature, including back-up, disaster recovery, and quality assurance, each of which has very high security requirements. And, most of the time they are not using all of the hardware dedicated to them. This is why the average enterprise server utilization is only 5-10%. Think of the savings in capital and IT operations if these applications could be moved to a cloud service where you only pay for what you use.
Lastly, large OLTP-based workloads, or ERP systems or web store fronts are the most critical applications for your business. If you are a manufacturer, it could be your order, inventory and supply chain systems; for banks, it's core systems like deposits, transfers, etc; for airlines it would be the reservation systems. When these go down, the business is all but dead. Therefore, these are the kinds of systems that make sense to continue to invest in traditional, in-house IT infrastructures. Because these kinds of workloads tend to run nearly all the time, it makes good economic sense to buy the infrastructures to support them.
Cloud Computing Journal: How would someone decide if cloud computing is right for their business and which workloads to move?
Marcello: It's really about understanding what makes the most business sense for the client and what they are trying to accomplish. As part of the June 30th announcement, we have Unisys Cloud Transformation Services, available now, which allow clients to plan and migrate to the type of cloud environment that best meets their business goals. These services help clients assess what application workloads can be moved to the cloud, how that can be done, and the technology, financial and security implications of their choices.
Cloud Computing Journal: How about virtualization and automation, where do they fit in the big picture?
Marcello: These are fundamental to cloud computing and for Unisys, our Real-Time Infrastructure technology powers our cloud. Virtualization is an enabler that helps us supply only the needed amount of IT resources based on the workload demand of the business at any given time. Automation adds elasticity to the environment, reduces the time needed for changes, and eliminates or at least simplifies the manual intervention in a potentially rapidly changing environment.
Cloud Computing Journal: And what kinds of governance and service management tools does the enterprise need?
Marcello: From a service management perspective, many vendors operate as siloed mechanisms. Unisys, on the other hand, has built into our secure cloudware stack an integration layer that enables us to interface with our clients' service management framework as well. The virtual data center, regardless of the location of the resources, is managed seamlessly. Unisys makes it look like one holistic environment. A key point to keep in mind is how hard it is for any IT organization to develop world class governance and service management. With Unisys Secure Cloud Solution and "Cloud in a Box" we have developed a broad set of ITIL best practices, which are fully automated, and which allow us and our clients to run a very efficient IT infrastructure. With this, a lot of automation occurs, and this can save money by minimizing manual tasks, reducing errors, and getting much higher utilization rates.
Cloud Computing Journal: What verticals among your customers are leading the adoption of the Cloud?
Marcello: We're getting a number of inquiries from a broad range of Unisys clients in telco's, financial institutions, transportation, and the public sector as well as partners who are interested in Unisys hosting their solutions within our Secure Cloud.
Cloud Computing Journal: What does Cloud Computing have to offer to mid-tier enterprises?
Marcello: Cloud computing is compelling for mid-tier enterprises since it minimizes the need for capital expenditures as well as lowers the need for on-going operational support. They will be interested in our Secure Cloud Solution, especially secure Software as a Service (SaaS).
Additionally for those clients who want to build an internal cloud, the Unisys Cloud-in-a-box that we'll deliver later this year will be a cost-effective, simplified cloud deployment alternative.
Cloud computing delivers on-demand resources that provide businesses with flexibility and cost-savings. The challenge in moving workloads to the cloud has been the cost and complexity of ensuring the initial and ongoing security and regulatory (PCI, HIPAA, FFIEC) compliance across private and public clouds. Manual security compliance is slow, prone to human error, and represents over 50% of the cost of managing cloud applications. Determining how to automate cloud security compliance is critical to maintaining positive ROI. Raxak Protect is an automated security compliance SaaS platform and ma...

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome" is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken.

Turkey detains 49 officers for espionage
Turkey has arrested 49 military officers in the second phase of an operation to dismantle a military espionage ring in the country. Turkish newspaper Today's Zaman quoted Izmir Chief Public Prosecutor's Office as saying that the 49 arrestees were among the 51 officers against whom arrest warrants had been issued on Wednesday. Sting operations were launched simultaneously in 16 provinces. The detainees are reportedly holding high-profile positions in the Ministry of Defense, the Land Forces Command, the Naval Forces Command and the Gülhane Military Academy of Medicine (GATA). The officers are accused of blackmailing, and illegally obtaining military information. The gang reportedly used prostitutes to blackmail and obtain classified security information from high-ranking officers and senior bureaucrats. The first phase of the operation was launched in May when 20 people were arrested for involvement in the espionage gang. Based in Izmir, the gang is reported to have branches in a number of provinces, including Istanbul, Ankara, Bursa, Antalya, Mugla, Manisa, Zonguldak and Ordu. The Turkish military, which has been the self-appointed guardian of secularism in the country since the founding of the republic in 1923 and was widely regarded as an important element of the deep state, has overthrown four governments in coups in 1960, 1971, 1980, and 1997.

Possibility theory is a mathema)cal theory for dealing with certain types of uncertainty and is an alterna)ve to probability theory ... when first introduced possibility was an extension of the theory of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, others added to this a proposed min/max algebra to describe degrees of poten)al surprise.
Formalization of possibility
For simplicity, assume that the universe of discourse is a finite set (Ω), and assume that all subsets are measurable. A distribution of possibility is a func)on such that: It follows that, like probability, the possibility measure on finite set is determined by its behavior in singletons (unit X): provided U is finite or infinite.
Axiom 1 can be interpreted as the assump)on that Ω is an exhaus)ve descrip)on of future states of the world,
because it means that no belief weight is given to elements outside Ω.
Axiom 2 could be interpreted as the assump)on that the evidence from which possibilities are constructed, is free of any contradic)on. Technically, it implies that there is at least one element in Ω with possibility 1.
Axiom 3 corresponds to the addivity axiom in probabili)es. However there is an important practical difference. Possibility theory is computa)onally more convenient because Axioms 1–3 imply
Because one can know the possibility of the union from the possibility of each component, it can be said that possibility is composi)onal with respect to the union operator. Note however that it is not composi)onal with respect to the intersec)on operator. Generally:
When Ω is not finite, Axiom 3 can be replaced for all index sets, if the subset variables, are pairwise disjoint.
Whereas probability theory uses a single number, the probability, to describe how likely an event is to occur, possibility theory uses two concepts, the possibility and the necessity of the event. For any event X, the necessity measure is defined by the complement of the elements of Ω that do not belong to axiom 3.
Note that contrary to probability theory, possibility is not self-dual. For any event, we only have the inequality: However, the following duality rule holds:
For any event, possibility = / < 1 but > 0, or necessity = 0
Accordingly, beliefs about an event can be represented by a number and a bit. ... Interpretations ...
variable Z is necessary, true. It implies possibility is 1.
variable Z is necessary, and false. It implies possibility is 0.
variable Z is necessary, impossible. It implies possibility is 0.
variable Z is necessary, possible. It implies possibility is 0 - 1.
variable Z is unnecessary, true. It implies possibility is <1 (1 – drag of unnecessary V Z)

Pair nabbed after stolen car breaks downComment on this story
Grahamstown - Two men were arrested in Grahamstown on Tuesday for possession of a stolen vehicle, Eastern Cape police said.
Four members of the Grahamstown highway patrol came across a white Madza 323 being pushed by two men while two young women sat inside, Captain Mali Govender said.
"On stopping and making enquiries, the suspects, both in their twenties, stated that they had a flat battery."
After investigations, police found the car was reported stolen on Monday in King William's Town.
"Further investigations revealed that one of the suspects was sought on several other serious cases, including murder and assaults in King William's Town," Govender said.
The two would appear in the Grahamstown Magistrate's court on charges of possession of suspected stolen property.
The women were not arrested.

We live in a world today that is constantly evolving, whether it be improvements or advancements in technology, communication, the medical field and even in nutrition.
There is the endless updating of gadgets of communications such as cellular phones and laptops; and medical advancements are also very much keeping up as new evidences of advanced medical treatments are being currently practiced.
Much like all these breakthroughs, nutritionists have unceasingly studied and experimented to better and further human nutrition.
After all, who shall benefit from the above mentioned developments if the main characters (humans) are not enjoying healthy lives? The much publicized outcome when it comes to nutrition is the discovery of vitamin supplements.
Vitamin supplements are a very hot item on the market today, as people are striving to achieve healthier bodies and longer lives.
These vitamin supplements are fashioned to meet human body needs that are no longer met by simply taking in food as the basic form of acquiring nutrients.
It is generally known that a lot of "unhealthy" food are publicized and promoted for consumption in the market; while most of these fashioned to complement the fast-pace human activities such as instant-microwavable treats and ready-to-eat-or-drink food, it is similarly indisputable that quality nutrition is compromised.
Even the way raw food or ingredients such as chicken, meat, fruits and vegetables are grown are not spared from the technological spotlight. Certain chemicals found in fertilizers are added to catalyze their growth making them appealing to consumers.
With all these reasons, people today are submissive enough to realize the need for further nutrition, hence, their patronage for vitamin supplements.
I, for one, believe in the benefits these vitamin supplements provide. Since a healthy meal is not a assurance everyday, I rely on vitamin supplements to give me the lacking nutrients my body needs.
Furthermore, they are easier to digest and come in handy bottles. You can similarly purchase the vitamin you believe you need more of or have a multivitamin which is a combination of essential vitamins all in one tablet or capsule.
Advancements are everywhere, but it does not imply that I can simply neglect the most basic things my body needs, such as nutrition. I find ways to keep up with the progress surrounding me, and one of these ways is taking vitamin supplements.
While growth is taking its toll in the world and on people's lives, we on the other hand, need to make sure we remain in control of all these, and that begins with taking utmost care of our health by reassessing our nutritional needs and making sure we actually get a dose of these. After all, the primary investment on all this progress is us (humans).
Bewildering how finding the balance in everything actually benefits the world as a whole. Vitamin supplements, as understandable as their contribution is to human nutrition, is indeed a great help in promoting general health to the people and the world.

2006 Mercury Monterey • 110,000 miles
I replaced the alternator on my 2006 Mercury Monterey with one that I purchased from O'Reillys ( Ultima part number 01-3749M) and also had to purchase a different electrical plug for the wiring connection since the clip from the regulator did not match. The colors of wiring do not match up. Do you know the color code I should use. The new plug has three wires and the old one had three wires, just different colors.
October 17, 2012.
October 17, 2012.
You seem to have the wrong alternator. There is no reason to have to change plugs unless there was some kind of retrofit and in that case, instructions and a new plug would be included.
On the test equipment it operates just fine, sending voltage to the battery and the car seems to run fine and I just guessed at rewiring the new plug

Serena at the Snowflake Ball
yeah her dresses always had to show her boobs. it is annoying but most of time, her dress are pretty but a cut always looked wrong or she got a super clevage showing that is so unnesccary
I think she is gorgeous though.
If you've got it, flaunt it.
even though she should flaunt less.
87% of what she wears screams BOOBS!
All that xtra clevage is soo unnecessary..
does anyone know where i could buy a dress similar to that?
Yes, I do agree that the dress shouldnt have been cut so far up the dress. If it didnt show so much of her legs, then it would have been much better. And she is also too skinny for the dress. If it covered her assets more, then it would be even more beautiful. But it definitely is NOT ugly. This dress is gorgeous.
The dress would have been amazing if if it wasn't cut at the front- Serena's usually flawless dress sense is kind of wavering in this season =\ It doesn't suit her at all.
ugly ugly dress..

When Dan King considers why he survived two shotgun blasts in 2012, he first credits fellow St. Paul police officers, paramedics and doctors.
But King also swears by a makeshift tourniquet he had been carrying with him for about a year.
In the frantic, painful moments after an assailant ambushed him, shooting him in the left arm and back, King turned to the tourniquet, which was nothing more than an old cloth belt.
"I wrote the arm off," recalled King, a former Army Reserve officer and Cottage Grove police officer paramedic. "I saw how destroyed it was and I said, 'OK, forget the arm ... I gotta stop this bleeding.' All I cared about was staying alive."
King managed to dig out the tourniquet, rolled up in his side cargo-pants pocket, before officer David Randall ran up to help.
"It saved me," said King, who at the time was one of a few St. Paul police officers who carried tourniquets. "I had been meaning to buy an official tourniquet forever but just never did. And I ended up using the one I expected to use on somebody else on myself."
In part because of King's success story and others like it, including those from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, a growing number of police officers locally and nationally are carrying combat-style tourniquets to help increase the chances of saving lives, including their own.
After King was shot, police officers in St.
It didn't take long for one to be used.
On Aug. 15, Marshall Titus, a rookie St. Paul officer, put one on the upper thigh of a 9-year-old boy whose feet were severed by a slow-moving freight train in the city's North End.
Before paramedics arrived, Titus put the tourniquet on the boy's leg that was bleeding the most, while his partner, Jennifer Hale, worked to keep the child calm.
"He's a super heroic kid," Titus said.
Just three months earlier, St. Paul patrol officers received tourniquets from Regions Hospital and went through training on how to use them.
"I always just started carrying it in my side pocket," Titus said. "You hardly even notice that it's there. But it truly is a lifesaving tool."
Titus noted how two Minneapolis police officers applied a tourniquet to a stabbing victim last month, likely saving her life. This month, a St. Paul resident used his tourniquet on a motorcyclist who was hit by a car near Maryland Avenue and Frank Street.
"They're so easy to use -- you could train somebody in a matter of minutes -- and it really takes just seconds to use," Titus said, adding they are designed to be applied with one hand.
Tourniquets were popular in ambulances in the 1960s. But they eventually were pushed aside because long transports often resulted in the person losing a limb from a lack of blood supply caused by tourniquets, said Keith Wesley, medical director of the HealthEast Medical Transportation.
"But what has transpired over the last 10 to 15 years is the improved ability of microvascular surgery and the ability to deal with the trauma that occurs even after the tourniquet is applied," he said.
Improved design and effectiveness in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars also changed attitudes toward them, Wesley said.
West St. Paul police Sgt. John Hinderscheid shows how to apply a tourniquet.
"The problem with the old stick and cravat tourniquet is that it ended up putting pressure on only one point," he said. "These Combat Application Tourniquets actually have an internal elastic band so that as you're turning you're not constricting the skin but instead applying even pressure around the limb."
In April, HealthEast Medical Transportation provided one tourniquet for every police officer in the communities it covers for 911 emergency calls -- Eagan, Rosemount, Inver Grove Heights, Mendota Heights, West St. Paul and South St. Paul.
They are in addition to tourniquets the Dakota County Domestic Preparedness Committee bought through a federal grant for every squad car and fire station in the county.
"What we found is if we go into a mass-casualty situation -- God forbid like Columbine -- you're going to wind up with individuals with multiple injured limbs, and the goal would be to have an average of three to five tourniquets on every ambulance, with every officer," Wesley said.
He noted how Boston police officers started carrying tourniquets after the 2013 marathon bombing, where many of the injured were treated with belts and other makeshift devices to control bleeding.
In King's case, surgeons were able to save his arm.
Last month, he had his 11th surgery to try to improve wrist and hand movement "and there's talk of a 12th."
Since the Oct. 23, 2012, incident in St. Paul's Payne-Phalen neighborhood, King, 46, remains on a leave of absence from the police department and doubts a comeback is possible.
"I'm done ... the hand is just too messed up," he said. "I can't fight. I can't hold a weapon with it. In light duty, you're in some office somewhere, and I would hate that."
He uses his experience to talk to other police departments about what he learned. The talk always includes the same advice: Keep a tourniquet close at hand.
"It's something that every cop in the nation should have in their pants pocket," King said. "Just get one on you and don't leave it in the trunk of your car. If you're on the third floor of an apartment building somewhere and something goes down, you're not going to have time to go get it ... and you're going to be ripping T-shirts."
