46 U.S. Code § 3305 - Scope and standards of inspection
prev | next
(1) The inspection process shall ensure that a vessel subject to inspection—
(C) has suitable accommodations for the crew, sailing school instructors, and sailing school students, and for passengers on the vessel if authorized to carry passengers;
(2) In determining the adequacy of the supply of potable water under paragraph (1)(D), the Secretary shall consider—
(b) If an inspection, or examination under section 3308 of this title, reveals that a life preserver, lifesaving device, or firehose is defective and incapable of being repaired, the owner or master shall destroy the life preserver, lifesaving device, or firehose in the presence of the official conducting the inspection or examination.
Source(Pub. L. 98–89, Aug. 26, 1983, 97 Stat. 513; Pub. L. 99–36, § 1(a)(1),May 15, 1985, 99 Stat. 67; Pub. L. 99–640, § 13(e),Nov. 10, 1986, 100 Stat. 3551; Pub.

|Revised section
|Source section (U.S. Code)
Section 3305 consolidates, at one place, the basic scope of coverage of the inspection process. It is to be noted that the time difference in enactment of various statutes has resulted in some anomalies. Thus, for example, R.S. 4417 (46 U.S.C. 391) which had originally set periods of inspection and vested authority in "local inspectors" was expanded over the years to provide the base for inspection of certain classes of vessels as well as setting out the periods and scope. The distillation of inspection objectives and standards in later laws and the transfer of all functions of separately created bureaus and functionaries to the Coast Guard permit this consolidation. There are those who have a desire to see the scope and standards of inspection be more specific in law similar to those presently applicable to boilers and boiler plating that predate 1871. The Committee believes this serves no useful purpose since the specifics are either antiquated or too limiting and have, in fact, been superceded by the statutorily authorized adoption of various industrial specifications, standards, and codes by the Coast Guard. These include the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), American Welding Society (AWS), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and many others. In addition, Coast Guard regulations must also implement and conform to the numerous international maritime safety treaties to which the United States is signatory. The Committee expects that the regulatory flexibility being provided will not reduce the present vessel inspection requirements that have been historically developed.
Section 3305 (a) establishes the statutory scope of the Coast Guard's vessel inspection authority and duty. The inspection process shall ensure that a vessel is of suitable structure, equipment, and accommodations, is maintained in an operating condition consistent with safety of life and property, and complies with applicable marine safety laws and regulations.
Subsection (b) requires that defective life preservers and firehose be destroyed in the presence of the inspecting official, normally a qualified Coast Guard marine inspector. The Committee believes that if this equipment is defective for use on an inspected vessel, it should be destroyed so that it cannot be used on an uninspected or recreational vessel.
Subsection (c) provides flexibility in the inspection of various sizes of nautical school vessels.
2006—Subsec. (a)(2). Pub. L. 109–241realigned margins.
2004—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 108–293, § 416(b), designated existing provisions as par. (1), redesignated former pars. (1) to (6) as subpars. (A) to (F), respectively, of par. (1), and added par. (2).
Subsec. (a)(4) to (6). Pub. L. 108–293, § 416(a), added par. (4) and redesignated former pars. (4) and (5) as (5) and (6), respectively.
2002—Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 107–217substituted "section 558 of title 40" for "section 13 of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1986".
1986—Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 99–640inserted "or by an educational institution under section 13 of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1986".
1985—Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 99–36substituted "lifesaving" and "life preserver, lifesaving device, or firehose" for "life-saving" and "life preserver or firehose", respectively.

Dear Friend:
This site will familiarize you with the collection of scupltures created by American artist Seward Johnson. It is presented in a three part division moving from the Classic, the man-on-the-street series begun in the 1980's, through the Beyond the Frame body of work inspired by the Impressionist masters, and ending with the Icons series. Each of these groupings is ongoing, and new works are added by the artist as he discovers unique ways to further develop and complete his expression of the subject matter.
Each design is cast in edition and limited to seven castings, therefore, the availability of sculptures for purchase and exhibition shifts frequently. A comprehensive price list can be obtained for The Sculpture Foundation, along with a complete exhibitions and placements listing.
Thank you for your interest in this work, and enjoy the site.
Warm Regards,
Paula A. Stoecke
Director & Curator

Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel wrote, "Thanks to his exceptional abilities, and his commitment to the men and women under his command, we have made progress in Afghanistan and remain on track to responsibly bring America's longest war to an end later this year."
Gen. Dunford, if confirmed by the Senate, will succeed General James Amos in that role.

Comments On Mar 25, 2016:These tires split on the side wall and left me stranded 20 miles from my truck on terrain I had been over a million times on other tires. If you ride rocky desert they are not for you. The entire sidewall split on the of the tires and one of them was a factory replacement.

Comments On Jan 07, 2016:I decided to get new tires, when my original polaris tires, just did not do the trick. I was on icy, and snowy conditions that caused my Ranger to loose alot of traction, and almost be uncontrollable. After doing a lot of research, I decided to get the ITP terraCross tires, and so far I am really glad I did. I went out for a short ride this afternoon, and boy what a difference. No sliding around, and you really feel like you have true control. Plus they are great in the snow as well, so far.

Comments On Nov 10, 2015:Itp makes a good tire for a lot of surfaces. The wear seems to be one of the best out there and I've not had any issues with them. The only thing stopping me from buying more is the price. Way overpriced for such a small tire.

Comments On Mar 12, 2015:Great tires. They look and perform great. Used on all types of terrain and never had any issues or punctured tires.

Comments On Nov 29, 2014:I got the tear cross tires in 2012 and I have put 1700 miles on them. I also have a Rubicon 2001 that has the same tires and I have put 2600 miles on them. They are an outstanding tire for deep snow, hard packed, and handle well. I would recommend these tires to everyone!

Comments On Oct 16, 2014:These tires are amazing and super durable. Most of the 2200 miles on them have been extremely rocky. They do great in snow and mud. I run mine at 5psi and they handle great. Highly recommend these or the Bighorns my buddies run. Both are bullet proof. Tread on rear tires are about half done, fronts looks almost new still.

Comments On Sep 11, 2014:I have issues with the sidewall always leaking air. The tire just seems soft compared to bighorns or others. Traction was good but they never would hold air!

Comments On Feb 24, 2013:I just put new 25-10-12 Terracross tires on the back of my 2008 680 Rincon to replace original tires that were worn out. I plow snow with this machine and was worried about traction and ride. Both of those issues are important to a 66 year old.
There was no need to worry. I have found the Terracross to be excellent tires. They are smooth riding on compact snow/pavement and have unbelievable traction in the snow. They work great. No vibration. I just ordered new front tires for my Rincon from RMATV. ITP Terracross also. Made in the USA. Great tires.
The service provided by Rocky Mt. ATV has been excellent. I purchased a plow from them a couple of months ago and received the same excellent service I received with the tires. I live in northern Minnesota. I order on Sunday night and received both the plow and the tires by Friday. Excellent service.

Comments On Nov 30, 2012:Smooth execution of my order.
Originally I ordered the front wheel-tire combo from an on-line competitor, because the cost was a shade lower. The order was for both front & rear wheels and tires. The rear were delivered within 5 days but the front combo did not make it. I had to call customer support (No 800 number) to find out what happened, and was told they were on back order and would be delivered in another 3 weeks. Waited the three weeks, no contact from the vendor, called and they had to check with warehouse. Once again, I was told they were still on back order, and I'd have to wait another 3 weeks. Waited the extra time (now at 7 weeks) then with no word from vendor I called to ask what is the issue? This time I was told the size of tire that I'd ordered wasn't available anymore. Huh? I had to decide what to do, here I was with new "Radial" rear wheels and tires that did not match my OEM "Bias" tires and the front combo is no longer supported. Well, I called ITP direct and asked about the tire size being discontinued and they said "What? No way, any reputable vendor could have them overnight in the size I needed" ITP further suggested that they have heard excellent service from Rocky Mountain ATV and that perhaps I should cancel my non-filled order and then reorder from Rocky Mountain. I followed that advice, and the set of tires for the front arrived in less than one week.
Over the seven weeks dealing with the original dealer, I must have had to call their long distance phone number 15 times. Placed the call, put in the queue, then got the runaround. Those calls certainly evaporated any minute savings by not dealing with Rocky Mountain in the first place. From here on, Rocky Mountain will always get my order.

today definitely came off to a slow start but boy did it pick up. I started the day with a 3:45am wake up and a 4:30am pickup which dropped me off at LaGuardia at 5:15am. That is where an interesting thing happened. So I didn't really check to see what terminal I was in, I just assumed it was the delta terminal. But what I didn't know is that because delta has like 10 flights a day to chicago, boston, and D.C., those flights go out of a much smaller terminal called the Marine Terminal. So anyway after figuring that out I waited for a shuttle and took it to the new terminal. By the way, my parents don't know this, but my mom will realize it when she reads this, so I am hoping that by putting this on my blog will actually get my dad to read this thing. But before they get a change to worry, I still managed to get through security and to my gate 45 minutes before they boarded. I repeat, that was 75 minutes before take off. So, while I was on the plane I wrote my first blog entry which you might have read this morning, or if you haven't then you can read it, it's the post right before this one. Anyway, I landed at Chicago O'Hare, got in a cab, and went into the center of chicago. The rest of my group wasn't at the meeting place so I had to wait. Which was no problem considering the meeting place was a Starbucks. So I uploaded my first Day 1 blog entry from the morning flight, got the New York Times, and started reading. So then the rest of the group showed up, I said my hellos, and went to our first destination. Our first item was just walking around downtown chicago. So I'd like to talk about a good friend of mine, whose name is Travis Cuvelier. Travis is a republican, a die hard republican. And he is convinces that I am a democrat. I deny it, but that is beside the point. Travis and I love to debate current issues and since we hadn't seen each other in a while since Travis lives near Syracuse, we spent the first 2 hours talking about the new general in Afghanistan. Next we went to the Navy Pier, which had been turned into an amusement park. We then went on a boat ride in Lake Michigan. Our next stop was some museum. We were there for 2 hours. That was one of the slow moments of the trip. Then we went to eat, and then came the peak of the day. Sears Tower (which has been renamed Willis Tower) is the tallest building in North America. And one of there unbelievable attractions is called skyjack. Basically you go 103 stories high and go out onto a structure with a glass floor. Picture yourself 103 stories high looking down. Now picture yourself lying face down on the glass so you are literally looking straight down. It was awesome. In addition, the weather was great so you could see all of chicago. And for those of you who want to see pictures, they will be on Facebook and Flicker soon, and I will post the links on this blog within a week. Then came Millennium Park. It's hard to describe it, basically there are a lot of expressions of art, which again have been photographed and will be posted. What you can take from it now was that it was awesome. Then we got on a bus and right now I am on my way to Indianapolis. Tomorrow is kind of a rest day but I am going to go to a baseball game. Then saturday we start the NASC Conference on Leadership and Student Activities. This conference has started out great, and I can't wait for day 2 to begin (which by the time your reading this will have probably already started)!
Thanks for reading, please feel free to comment!

The protest against Monday's acquittal of two former Fullerton officers in the 2011 death of Kelly Thomas drew about 200 people, police Sgt. Jeff Stuart said.
He said most of the protesters were peaceful, but some took over intersections, blocked streets and vandalized business.
Video broadcast by KCBS-TV someone whose face was covered by a bandanna striking the camerawoman. She fled into her news van, and her crew called 911 when a group surrounded the vehicle, Stuart said.
The attack prompted police go declare the protest an unlawful assembly. Officers in riot gear came to disperse the crowd, and arrested at least 10 for not complying, Stuart said.
In addition, police arrested the assault suspect and two others for scrawling an obscenity and an anarchist symbol on police property.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Thomas' father thanked the demonstrators at a rally in front of the Fullerton Police Department. He said that without their protests in the summer of 2011, his son's case might not have ended up a trial at all.
"If you were here for 2011, for the protests," Ron Thomas said, "give yourself a hand. You are the people, you made this happen.
Kelly Thomas, 37, died five days after a violent confrontation with six officers in July 2011. A surveillance camera captured him screaming for his father and begging for air as the police kneed him, jolted him with an electric stun gun and used the blunt end to strike him around the face and head.

Hi guys! My username in Alteil is Mitsuhide, I joined a long time ago (I forgot when) and quit playing for a while now and now I'm back. I joined the turkey hand contest of 2009 and was made one of the winners. I was given a Dalos Avvie and I thought that was pretty sweet.
So I came back and I was drawn in again by the new changes the management has set up. I really liked the new pre-built files and the fact that newbies get a card every level until 30. I was amazed at the FM lottery and the EX lottery (amenities we didn't have back in 2009...) and was optimistic about the growth of alteil.
When I looked into the forums however, I was shocked at all the attacks towards alteil and was beginning to feel pessimistic as well. Most of what the others were saying were true, and it seems like alteil has a long way to go.
But I came here not to complain, there's too much of that going on already and my complaints will just be one among millions of unsatisfied complaints. Instead I'll go ahead and be one of the few people who will do something different.
First I'm going to thank alteil for all the innovations they have done so far. It took them many years and their progress is slow, but changes are changes regardless and any attempt to please the player base should be shown gratitude instead of impatience. So, I thank the alteil team for creating pre-builts and the new level up system for prizes. Hopefully, you are listening to the wishes of the threads and are still trying your best to create solutions to our growing list of problems.
Now, time for some arts :3
I've been practicing in gaia online and people said I've gotten really good. So every once in a while, I will post my "alternate art" versions of my favorite cards in here. Why? Honestly, I kinda hope alteil would use my art in some form of event or something... I would be honored if my art is used in alteil events (hopefully it's a free event... kinda want my art to be free for everyone). I'm also encouraging optimism with my fellow iczers. Hopefully my art can offer hope in alteil's desperate times.
feel free to criticize my art... I still have a lot of room for improvement.
I also want to know if you would be happy use my alternate art, any praise is greatly appreciated!
Alright enough talk time for the first alternate art!
I drew Crest Lady Paladin. I spent half a day sketching and colouring her. I hope you guys enjoy my attempt to portray her character!

Best Practices and Information for Program Planners
from the ALCTS Program Committee
Submitting a Proposal
Most proposals come from ALCTS sections, interest groups, or committees. However, proposals may also originate with individuals or other groups without obtaining approval from a sponsoring unit first. The "Sponsoring Unit" section of the proposal form is optional.
Complete the Proposal Form (You must log in with your ALA credentials before entering the proposal system.)
In Section 4 of the online proposal form:
Program Planning Chair's Contact Information is for the Program Planner, usually the person completing the form. Do not enter the contact information for the Program Committee Chairs—the completed proposal form is routed to them automatically.
Program Structure and Speakers
All program time slots will be either 60 or 90 minutes. It may be possible to split longer programs into two time slots, but there will be at least a 30-minute break even between consecutive time slots.
ALCTS programs (except the President's Program) should include at least two speakers. The Program Committee usually recommends that perspectives from more than one institution or type of institution be represented.
Speakers who are not attending the conference other than for the program may receive a 1-day speaker badge. (Request speaker badges in March.)
There should be no more than three speakers for a 90-minute program.
If there are more than two speakers during the session, hold questions until the end.
If there are more than two speakers, have a timekeeper.
Leave time for discussion and questions and answers.
Advertising and Promotion
Write your program description carefully. This is your primary opportunity to sell the program.
There never can be too much advertising.
An ALCTS e-forum prior to the conference may help generate interest in a program. Contact Rebecca Kemp Goldfinger (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Nadine Ellero (email@example.com), the e-Forum Co-coordinators.
"In-name-only" cosponsorship expands advertising for the program. Think about possible in-name-only cosponsorship in advance of meeting with the Program Committee. Cosponsorship should be from groups (divisions, committees, affiliates, interest groups) within or outside of ALCTS. Please ask the cosponsoring group to complete the cosponsorship form.
Do not approach a potential sponsor or funding source on your own. ALCTS and ALA have specific procedures for seeking sponsorships for monetary support from organizations and companies.
Contact the chair of the ALCTS Fundraising Committee, Lenore England (firstname.lastname@example.com) to discuss sponsorships.
See the Cosponsorships page for more information.
Room and A/V Setup
The standard room setup for programs is theater-style seating. If a different setup is desired, the committee must be notified and be given justification.
The standard AV setup for ALA Conference sessions consists of:
1 screen
1 LCD projector
1 computer (Windows, includes internet access)
1 podium with microphone
Requests for special A/V arrangements must be approved by the ALCTS Executive Director and ALA Conference Services. The deadline for special A/V requests is usually in February.
Handouts to be reproduced by ALCTS are limited to two pages, which should be double-sided. These handouts usually consist of abstracts and brief speaker biographies.
The deadline for program handouts that are to reproduced by ALCTS is usually 4 weeks prior to conference. Send these to the ALCTS office.
Speakers or program planners are encouraged to post materials on the ALA Conference Scheduler before or after the conference. We recommend that you post any available materials before the conference if possible. If not, please share materials in the Conference Scheduler after the conference.
Use the sample program evaluation form or create your own evaluation.
ALCTS recommends paper evaluations for programs. (Response rate for online evaluations for programs has been extremely low.) ALCTS will reproduce a 1-2 page evaluation form.
Webinars, web courses, or publications may be good follow-ups to a program. To turn your program into continuing education, contact the chair of the Continuing Education Committee.

text: There was a debate on Synthtopia about how much the virtual instrument Vir2's Electri6ity sounds like an electric guitar. The general consensus was that, while it sound more guitar-like than most other non-guitar instruments, it still doesn't sound like the real thing. Then someone in the comments section referred everyone to this clip. Whether this sounds like a guitar (personal opinion: yeah, kind of), the giant whammy bar device that this keyboard has is pretty cool. Adds a little more visual flair than the pitch wheel.

Paul Krugman says centrism is a cult that is destroying America, and I think he's right. Not that the right isn't doing its part — it is. But it's this insistence on being in the middle of two "extremes" that is killing us.
Centrists wear blinders that keeps them from telling the truth, from knowing the truth about the right. And the prime offenders: My beloved colleagues.
Think about what's happening right now. We have a crisis in which the right is making insane demands, while the president and Democrats in Congress are bending over backward to be accommodating — offering plans that are all spending cuts and no taxes, plans that are far to the right of public opinion.
So what do most news reports say? They portray it as a situation in which both sides are equally partisan, equally intransigent — because news reports always do that. And we have influential pundits calling out for a new centrist party, a new centrist president, to get us away from the evils of partisanship.
It makes me crazy. Back when I worked for a big media outlet, we didn't have execs coming down to tell us we had to toe the party line. We did it ourselves, as if we were afraid to do our jobs. Somewhere along the line — and it started with Spiro Agnew's "nittering nabobs of negativsm" — we lost the will to tell the truth and instead adopted a policy of stenography. "He said she said" isn't journalism. It's minutes of the meeting.
What all this means is that there is no penalty for extremism; no way for most voters, who get their information on the fly rather than doing careful study of the issues, to understand what's really going on.
You have to ask, what would it take for these news organizations and pundits to actually break with the convention that both sides are equally at fault? This is the clearest, starkest situation one can imagine short of civil war. If this won't do it, nothing will.
And yes, I think this is a moral issue. The "both sides are at fault" people have to know better; if they refuse to say it, it's out of some combination of fear and ego, of being unwilling to sacrifice their treasured pose of being above the fray.
No, not blinders then. Blindfolds. With blinders, you can at least see what's in front of you. But with blindfolds, you see nothing, and that's what my colleagues — and others who claim to be centrists — see. Nothing that matters, and very little that doesn't.
At least Krugman tells the truth about the right.
But my feeling about those people is that they are what they are; you might as well denounce wolves for being carnivores. Crazy is what they do and what they are.
Which points the finger right back at the centrists — and Democrats who, what, don't want to rock the boat?
So, no, both sides aren't equally at fault. Not in this instance, and not during the 2008 election campaign when racism and ugliness owned the Republican campaign and my colleagues bought the lie that "both sides do it." No, they don't. That's not to say that some left wing bloggers and such don't get nasty. Hell, I get nasty. But I never advocated shutting down the government to keep George W. Bush from getting re-elected. I never heard one single Democrat say that either, or say that their No. 1 priority in 2004 was to prevent a second term.
What I did see, and continue to see, is constant capitulation on the part of Democrats to Republican threats , just to make something happen. And now, the president has drawn the line.
I just hope he has the guts not to move it — or, worse yet, erase it altogether.

I'm currently a junior Java developer with 1 year of experience. And I want to know how to become an Architect. what things should I focus on to reach that goal or to be more specific what is the road map to be a great architect?
closed as off topic by GrandmasterB, gnat, World Engineer♦, Matthieu, Walter Sep 13 '12 at 12:24
Questions on Programmers Stack Exchange are expected to relate to software development within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Just so you know, you're probably very junior right now. As with virtually all human activity, it takes around 10 years of hard work (i.e., about 10k hours of pushing yourself) to become an expert in something. There's no real short cut to that; it relates to how long your brain takes to lay down certain types of pattern.
A software architect is really an expert position, having responsibility for selecting the components and interaction patterns used across a whole project to achieve that project's goals. Not all projects need that much architecture of course — sometimes it's obvious to everyone what needs doing — but when you've got a complex problem that requires 20 interacting services each with its own technology stack, the skills of a good architect will really help. If the architect gets it wrong, the project will either fail completely (with huge recriminations on all sides) or "succeed" in the worst way possible (e.g., results that can't be rolled into production because they're so utterly intertwined with everything else in a way that only the original developers can understand). Be aware that software architecture typically has to bear in mind project management too; solutions must be buildable after all.
The roadmap to being an architect starts with becoming a good programmer. It pretty much requires that the proto-architect spend plenty of time learning many different paradigms, languages and libraries so that problem-spaces and potential solutions can be understood and evaluated rapidly. It also requires a lot of reading, and more than a few experiments which end in partial failure; when something goes wrong, try to understand why so that it doesn't happen again. And naturally, it requires good communication skills: the forces can only be understood by listening to others and the proposed architecture must be communicated to all relevant parties to be of any value.
I suppose one of the key things is that you've got to understand the problems in terms of multiple levels of abstraction. That's not very easy, because each level of abstraction has its own restrictions and domain of applicability, yet there is coupling between the levels too. Details matter, yet can overwhelm. Finding a good balance, especially one that you can explain to others, is difficult.
Will you become an architect in time? I don't know. You might get it in your job title after some amount of time, but job titles aren't very relevant: it's whether your peers would describe you as such that matters. (Remember, there are other possible career paths out of plain programmer-hood too: if it turns out that you're good at project management, then please do that instead. There are far too few good project managers out there.)
Software architect is an individual contributor role in most companies. And btw, it is just a term that different companies allow differently. (After all, every developer "architects" his piece). So I am assuming you want to know about the person who decides the end to end design/architecture of a complex piece.
The growth path usually depends on the size of the company, but it could go like Developer -> Senior Developer (multiple levels here) -> Principal developer (usually architects) -> Senior principal or Partner developers (usually architects at a much bigger level).
Having said that you should look at what makes a senior developer into a principal. The senior developer is expected to influence the code written around her/his team, but the principal / partner developer is the person who decides the interactions / drives projects across teams. So the biggest contributors would be,
As you grow up the Individual contributor path, the ability to define your contribution in terms of source code files etc. goes away (Your junior developers will be writing a ton of code in many of your projects and obviously the architect won't be able to match them line to line or even in complexity). So you also have to learn to show your value at a meta level, in a way other than SLOC / bug count.
Good luck!
Only take positions with room for improvement, unless the positions are temporary. Set yourself up to be able to earn the next position up the ladder. If you're in a company where that's not an option - or not really an option - look to move, and move in a professional manner.
The path to be a great architect is working as a programmer with passion and professionalism in several projects the next 10 years and keep learning things. Eventually your peers will see you as an architect.
If you are interested in being a "Senior Architect", a certified architect on something or another fancy role name, follow your company politics to get there, but a role without proper experience is just an empty box.
With one year of experience you still don't know, not even by name, a lot of stuff that you should be knowing associated to software development process and software architecture 10 years from now.

Translating entries in the Components menu
From Joomla! Documentation
Revision as of 20:16, 9 May 2008 by Maintenance script
Entries on the Components menu and its sub-menus may be translated using a mechanism that allows translators to include translations for third-party developer extension entries.
A language INI file in the administrator/languages/<lang> directory, called <lang>.<component>.menu.ini will be loaded when the administrator menus are built and should contain language replacement strings for the menu item and its sub-menus.
For example, the Banners component, com_banners, has a menu translation file in administrator/languages/en-GB called en-GB.com_banners.menu.ini in which you will find:-
COM_BANNERS=Banner COM_BANNERS.BANNERS=Banners COM_BANNERS.CLIENTS=Clients COM_BANNERS.CATEGORIES=Categories
The first of these strings replaces the menu item in the Components menu. The other three replace sub-menu items within the Banner entry in the Components menu.

Destination guide: Tahiti, Polynesia
Tahiti is in the South Pacific and is the biggest island in Polynesia. Its capital is Papeete, its official language is French and its economy is mainly based on tourism.
Together with the islands of Moorea and Bora Bora, Tahiti is a true paradise which hundreds of tourists from all four corners of the globe come to visit. If you're looking for an unforgettable vacation, check out our promotions and travel to Tahiti with LAN Airlines.
Tahiti - Weather Overview
French Polynesia has typical South Pacific temperatures between 20°C (68°F) and 30°C (86°F) at any time of the day, any day of the year. Humidity is usually high, but the even temperature and fresh sea breezes mean conditions are never too stuffy.
The dry winter period from May to October is the best time to go; the weather is cooler and there is much less rainfall during this time. Temperatures rise during the summer rainy season (November to April) when it's humid, cloudy and very wet. Three-quarters of the annual rainfall happens during this period, mainly in the form of brief, violent storms. However, torrential rains lasting several days are not uncommon.

Specialised Multi Adventure Company (SMAC Adventures) is located in the beautiful Seychelles Islands. The Centre was established just over a year ago and we are thriving with Adventure!
Seychelles is an island paradise well known for beautiful white beaches, azure blue seas, year round tropical weather, pristine forests, and mountains punctuated with majestic granite outcrops. It is these granite outcrops that provide the venue inside Ephelia resort for a newly developed activity in Seychelles – Rock Climbing and Ziplines.
SMAC Adventures – a group of dedicated adventure enthusiasts have embraced the facilities provided by nature and developed a new sport for the islands. With many years of adventure sports experience behind them, the crew at SMAC Adventures has established a Rock Climbing, Zipline and Abseiling facility within the Resort at Port Launay.
Employing a beautiful 18 meter high natural granite rock face, SMAC Adventures have developed a rock climbing facility whereby everyone, from beginner to accomplished, can experience the exhilaration of this sport in a safe and comfortable environment.
All the gear needed is available and all one has to do is "climb the crag" – Don't be sorry for not doing it!
A short buggy drive up the Hillside, a short walk climb up the mountain, with breathtaking views of the Bay at Port Launay, and you arrive at "The Icebreaker" – the first of a series of adrenalin pumping zipline rides through the canopy of the beautiful forest that covers the hillside of Ephelia.
SMAC Adventures has created the next generation in adrenalin pumping excitement to hit the Seychelles – A series of aerial Ziplines, that suspended both within and above the forest that covers the hillside on Ephelia, allows the adventurer the opportunity to experience this pristine environment in breathtaking fashion.
Built to International standards, checked out and certified by an International firm of structural engineers, this zipline activity will endear to young and old alike – From 6 to 60 – all are welcome.
Come and expose yourself to this unique Seychelles experience – You will not be sorry that you did, but you will certainly be sorry if you do not.
Check out this video of our Ziplines - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_rrUMm2xUc

Arizona's 2007 season is one-third completed after four games and the UA is off to a shocking 1-3 start. The offense isn't to blame though, and here's a look at what we've learned from that side of the ball, position by position.Quarterback:Willie Tuitama: 121-194, 1,254 yards, 10 TD, 4 INTStatistically, Willie Tuitama has had a very good season, but the stats are a little bit misleading in this case. Tuitama has had some very good moments and has done a good job, considering he's adjusting to a new offense, but he's also made some critical mistakes that have cost his team in losses to BYU, New Mexico and Cal.Poor decision making has been Tuitama's biggest flaw, but again that's expected when you're learning a new offense, not to mention the fact that he's a junior who played for half a season in each of his first two years at Arizona.You can say this about Tuitama, he's leading the UA offense downfield with much more ease than any previous team, or quarterback, in the Mike Stoops era. The Arizona offense is finally a legitimate threat, and Tuitama will end up breaking a good percentage of the UA passing records if he continues on his current pace.Backup Kris Heavner has only taken six snaps for Arizona this year, and the UA's third string QB, Tyler Lyon, is indefinitely suspended following an MIP arrest before the New Mexico game. ...More...

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- The Fiscal Cliff has many college students and their parents on edge. They are worried about their financial aid money.
In the District, more than 6,000 college students could lose part of their "Tuition Assistance Grant." This program is also called TAG. It gives students in the District grants of up to $10,000 a year towards tuition for out-of-state, public universities. They could stand to lose a lot of money if Congress can't reach a compromise by the end of the year.
The DC State Superintendent of Education and her staff are already working on a backup plan. The problem is that they don't like any of their options. Students would likely have their grants reduced by up to $1,000 each. She hopes Congress is thinking about the nation's future leaders

The Verge reports that the company will hold an event on May 21 to reveal the new console, with a more complete look to follow a few weeks later at E3 2013.
Industry watchers had initially expected Microsoft to unveil the successor to the Xbox 360 later this month, but sources tell The Verge that the event was pushed back. Windows blogger Paul Thurrot corroborated that during a recent episode of 'What the Tech', pointing out that indeed the date was pushed from April 24 to May 21. Yahoo! Games has independently confirmed the pushback of the event from April to May, but we've been unable to verify the exact date.
[Related: What to expect from the Next Xbox]
If the May 21 date is indeed correct, it will come almost two months to the day after Sony took the wraps off the PlayStation 4. It would also follow a precedent Microsoft set with the introduction of the Xbox 360, which was first unveiled during a televised event just a few weeks shy of E3 2005.
Like the PlayStation 4, the next Xbox (currently codenamed 'Durango') is expected to be on store shelves before the end of the year. People familiar with Microsoft's plans say the system's features are, in fact, remarkably similar to what Sony has already unveiled.
Microsoft has always had an advantage with the non-gaming components of its consoles, though, and recently hired the former president of CBS Television Studios to lead its efforts to form an Xbox studio. The company is also expected to unveil an integrated (and vastly updated) version of the Kinect motion sensor as a component of the new Xbox.
What many are wondering about most are rampant rumors that the system will require users to always be connected to the Internet, an fear that was boosted after last week's Twitter incident involving a creative director at the company.
We may not get the answer to that particular question at the May event. Like Sony, Microsoft is likely to leave several features unannounced, and considering the outcry over the concept of an 'always on' system, Microsoft could well avoid the topic altogether for now. May's introduction is likely meant to whet the appetite of gamers and keep them talking about it until a more complete unveiling takes place during the company's annual press conference during E3 in June.

Debtors and Creditor balance
On VT stat accounts,debit balance on Director current accounts is reducing accruals figures instead of showing as a Debtors. This is wrong. Does anyone know how I can show as a debtors on balance sheet and notes on debtors.
Move account
If you are using VTT+ then move the directors account to the debtors ledger, then refresh balances.
Alternatively, do it directly in VT Final Accounts 1 thanks
Alternatively, in VT Final Accounts in the VT Final Accounts drop-down menu, select Tools and then Trial Balance Analyser (second option down). The Trial Balance Analyser window opens and you can select the director's current account in the first column. A list of statutory account heading then appears in the right-hand window and you just select the heading under which you want your director's balance to appear.
So, to clarify:
1. VT Final Accounts drop-down menu (the first drop-down menu)
2. Tools
3. Trial Balance Analyser
4. Select account in left-hand window
5. Select heading in right-hand window
6. Click OK.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Khaleesi is a Dothraki title referring to the wife of the khal. A khaleesi's status varies greatly from khalasar to khalasar. She could be very influential, riding next to the khal, or she could be worth practically less than the khal's horse, since the khal's bloodriders would sometimes sleep with the khaleesi, but they would never share the khal's horse.
Known Khaleesi
- Daenerys Targaryen, called "Daenerys Stormborn" and "Mother of Dragons".
In the books
It is Dothraki tradition that if a khal dies, his khaleesi must retire to join the crones at Vaes Dothrak, known as the dosh khaleen.
According to the TV series official pronunciation guide developed for the cast and crew, "Khaleesi" is pronounced "Khal-EE-see". However, the "Game of Thrones language maker" (official title) David J. Peterson revealed that it should be pronounced "KHAH-lay-see," not "ka-LEE-see."

I eat meat, my father is a butcher, so i've grown up in a world of guts!
I could be a vegetarian though, eating meals of only sprouts and peas would be rad!
I eat meat because it tastes good.
Yes. Meat and potatoes are my favorite. Filet mignon. Rack of lamb, chicken.
I was a vegetarian for a total of about 3.5 years. I chose vegetarian to be cruelty free and also in an effort to improve my health and decrease my weight. Being cruelty free is a total plus, and I lost a lot of weight, but unfortunately I also lost nearly all of my hair. I didn't know it was my veggie diet until long after I was diagnosed with vitamin deficiencies, and supplements and shots did not restore the vitamins and protein I was not ingesting from meat.
Soy protein is okay, but has additives that I get sick from, usually MSG, so I would not ever eat it.
Reluctantly I went back to eating meat. I still need supplements from the damage done to my system. I am a little heavier than I want to be, but I prefer to have hair and not look sick.
Everyone is different, everyone should not look the same, but even in nature animals rely upon meat to sustain their protein metabolizing bodies. Your body is built to break down protein whether you provide it or not, and it will substitute with your own hair, cartilage, bones if you don't put some into it.
Zero meat here.
And NO, it ain't because I give a flying fuck about the animals. However, I do give a shit about my health and what I put in my body!
People care more for what type of fuel they put in their cars, than what type of "fuel" they put in their bodies these days!!
I've never felt better physically - Have not touched meat for the past 5+ yrs. Have ran three marathons since, and not too shabby of a time either

One of the first things you should learn as a beginning cyclist is to ride with your elbows bent slightly so that you can maintain control in unexpected situations. Having sleeves that are designed to bend with the arms is a nice thing. Assos takes care to do this with their armWarmers.S7. They combine their traditional RX fabric from arm warmers of yore with their new RXQ. The result is a warmer that stretches well and bends easily. The RXQ material is lighter, but with its channeled structure, it traps air against your skin and maintains excellent warmth.
The two-panel design allows the seams to contour the arm better than single panel designs. You can see how it forms around the muscles. Because of the better fit, Assos only needs to put half a gripper, sewn to the RX half on the warmer around the bicep. The tailored fit does the rest of the work to hold them in place.
The Assos armWarmers.S7 come in three colors -- Black, Red, and White. There's a reflective tab on each upper arm. Sizes are 0, I, and II.

Good stuff
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Been cycling for over 15 years, but these are first arm warmers I've purchased. Liked them so well had to order a second pair. Perfect fit and feel good on your arms.
Katherine S.
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
My Smartwool arm warmers were wearing out after six years of use and I needed new ones. I have cyclist-noodle arms and in general I always have a hard time finding cycling clothing that fits, arm warmers included. I had heard about the excellent quality of Assos items but never experienced it in person because the stuff is seriously expensive. When I saw these on sale I thought I should snag them and give them a shot. I pulled them out of the packaging and I had nothing short of an arm-gasm at how soft and luxurious they felt. I'm 6'1, 145 pounds, and again have the "TDF emaciated" look. The length on a "size II" is spot on for me. They cover from that knobby bone on wrist to my upper bicep (well above the cuff on my SS jersey). The circumference is excellent for my arms, they are snug but due to the anatomical/articulated structure and soft, stretchy fabric they never have that binding straight-jacket feeling that so many others do (*AHEM* GORE).
My first ride with them was a definite trial by fire. 6am roll out, September in Wisconsin (meaning we could see anything from 20 to 70F temps, sun, rain, snow, you name it, by noon). It was pouring rain and 35-40 degrees. My buddies weren't backing down so obviously I wasn't going to either. 72 miles of freezing rain and my arms were never cold. I had pulled the warmers up over the short sleeve cuff on my jersey but they kept sliding down (smooth fabric on smooth fabric) so I tucked them under the cuff and they stayed put. That's my only complaint, an elastic gripper or even a little extra elasticity in the fabric at the top of the warmer would make these an absolute home run. The extra scratchy tags on the inside would be my last nitpick (but my expert seamstress mother removed them). Other than that freezing rain ride I have used them down to non-rainy freezing temps and been very comfortable. They also dry out very quickly under a bathroom hand drier. Grade A all around, and the sale price was competitive.

Great arm warmer for thin arms
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I am petite and thin (5' tall, 105 lb). Other arm warmers slide down my arms, but these in size 0 stay put. Also very comfortable and surprisingly warm with their thin fabric.
Kenneth I.
$80 for arm warmers???
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Absolutely! These were my introduction to the Assos line. Like many cyclists I have more arm warmers than I'll every need. My wife got these for me as a gift, and I've never used another set since. The materials are amazing, the fit is perfect, they cover a broader temperature range, and they are the only warmers that I've never had to adjust during a 5-6 hour ride. I don't care if I'm the only guy on the team not wearing the matching team kit warmers. I'm sticking with my Assos.

So you've made the commitment to train for a marathon, triathlon or other endurance event. You dedicate time and follow your workout schedule, logging each hour and type of workout. But your log may be missing some key information if you're not monitoring your fluid and dietary intake.
Why is it important to pay attention to sports nutrition? The right fuel can help you optimize your training and reach your personal best — or at least finish upright and feeling good.
Here are a few suggestions to get you thinking and perhaps retooling your drinking and food habits during your training. These tips are for those training more than an hour a day.
Dehydration will compromise performance. Drink fluids, mostly water, during and between meals.
Carbohydrates are the primary fuel for your muscles. The longer and more intense the exercise, the more carbohydrate your muscles need. Are you eating nutritious carbohydrate foods at each meal and snack? Examples include fruits, grains, such as cereals, breads, pasta, rice, quinoa or barley, and starchy vegetables, such as peas, corn, and potatoes, as well as milk and yogurt.
Take a close look at your meals and snacks. What are the carbohydrate-rich foods? Do you have a few servings at each meal? Do you carry a water bottle all day? How often to you refill it? Can you tolerate eating and drinking before, during and after your workout? If you're already practicing some of these tips, has it changed your performance?
Need more specific advice tailored to your body size and training needs? Seek out a registered dietitian or certified specialist in sports dietetics (CSSD).
To your health,
Jennifer K. Nelson, R.D., L.D.

Selecting "Submit" signifies that you have read and agree to our posting guidelines.
I agree with Susan. Three of my workouts each week last about 2 hours, half at high intensity (80+ percent of max. heartrate). In addition to water, I sometimes have a very small snack between cardio and resistance sessions -- a square of dark chocolate or half granola bar. Nor do I feel like eating for at least an hour after my workouts.
Sports drinks are a waste of calories and money; a post-workout beer is better on hot days.
The best nutrition advice I have received from exercise physiologists and elite athlete friends is to have a generally sound, balanced diet, low in saturated fats, sugar and salt. Sports drinks, "sport goop" and supplements are neither necessary nor helpful.
No one, unless he/she is an elite athlete working out for more than 2 hours at significant intensity needs to drink or eat carbohydrates during a workout. Would never recommend sports drinks - very little in them is actual food.

While some Rieslings are bone-dry, most (especially in California) have a degree of residual sugar—the percentage of sugar remaining in the wine after fermentation—for these food-friendly wines range from ±1% (or dry) to ±2% (or off-dry) and V. Sattui makes a wine at each of these levels. Our White Riesling, made from the true Riesling grape of Germany's bereich covering the entire Rheingau region, and which grows so well here, has intense tropical fruit aromas with clean, green apple, honey and apricot flavors. Its finish is softly floral, rich and opulent. Its medium-sweetness invites sipping even on it own, but certainly with many foods.

April 8th, 2013
This is the tenth installment of "Eat This List" - a regularly recurring list of things chefs, farmers, writers and other food experts think you ought to know about. Today's contributor is the pseudonymous blogger The Bitchy Waiter. He lives and works in New York City, and has appeared as a guest on Dr. Phil and a guest commentator on CBS Sunday Morning. Follow him on Facebook and on Twitter @bitchywaiter - and don't forget to tip.
If you have never had the pleasure of working in a restaurant, you may not be familiar with the term, "in the weeds." First off, allow me to congratulate you on never having worked in a restaurant.
"In the weeds" is what we restaurant folk (we're similar to "circus folk" except we smell like fajitas and honey mustard instead of cotton candy and clown tears) say when we are very behind in getting everything done that needs to be done.
One is thrown "in the weeds" for a variety of reasons: the dish guy hasn't run the silverware through the machine when tables need to be reset, the hostess is extremely adept at seating multiple parties at once, or maybe the restaurant is short-staffed because two servers called out sick to go to an audition.
Sometimes, it is the customer who throws us in the weeds and they have no idea they are doing it. Here are five ways that customers, unknowingly, throw their server into the weeds.
Do you know for certain that all eight people at your table actually want that water you just ordered for them? Think about how much time is going to be wasted for the server to retrieve eight glasses of water when only two or three people will drink them.
2. Saying you're ready to order when you're not ready to order
If your server says something like, "I can see you're not quite ready, so let me give you some more time and I'll be back in a few minutes," just agree. I promise that the server will come back. If you say, "No, wait, I'm ready," and then proceed to say, "Ummmm," your server will be displeased.
3. Letting your child order for him or herself
"Tell the man what you want, honey. Go ahead, you can do it. Don't be shy, sweetie. You told me what you wanted, so now you can tell the nice man. C'mon honey, the nice man is waiting. What's the matter, you don't know anymore?"
I don't have time to coax an order out of a child. Give them a chance to order and if they can't live up to the task, do it for them. They're kids, for crying out loud. Don't make them talk to the waiter if they don't want to.
4. Not listening to your server
When your server is talking to you, he's doing it for a reason. He is conveying information because he already knows what the specials are and you don't. Repeating the specials an extra time is fine, but four times just means that you're not paying attention and you're wasting my time.
5. Asking for separate checks at the end of the meal rather than at the beginning
Servers don't mind doing separate checks, we really don't. What we do mind is having to rush through it when you are ready to go. And by the way, if you are doing separate checks, it's helpful to sit in close proximity to the people you are sharing a check with. Pointing to some random person at the other end of a 14-top with whom you'll share a check with is the opposite of helpful.
Do you want that wrapped?
Contrary to popular belief, servers want you to have a good time in a restaurant. We also want you to be able to move in and out quickly because the way we make money is by turning the table over and getting more people in our section. We don't want to be in the weeds anymore than you want to wait a long time for your food.
If we servers try harder to keep ourselves from falling behind and customers try harder to not give us tasks that will put us in the weeds, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Of course, it could also just be a financial transaction where one party leaves with a full stomach and the other party leaves with an apron full of tips. Either way is good.

Saturday was a busy day for tree removal crews as they started to clean up the damage left behind by Friday night's high winds.
"I thought it was thunder and lightening because it made such a big sound," said Elsie Collins of hearing an entire tree come crashing down in her yard. It missed her home by only a few inches.
"Oh I'm glad it didn't land there, it could have knocked me down because I was on the couch," she said.
Right next door Collins' neighbor was dealing with problems of his own as tree limbs were blown off and crashed into several fences around his house.
"About 6:30 this morning I heard another crash and it was that big limb back there that fell across the back of his car and damaged it pretty heavily," said Johnny Usrey.
Considering the mess left behind, both neighbors say they are thankful the damage wasn't any worse.
"I'm just happy everything turned out like it did and I hope we get these trees out of here so we don't have anymore problems," said Collins.
Trees falling onto cars. Trampolines blowing down the street. Goalposts twisting in the wind.
Described by some as hurricane-force, strong wind hit Southern Colorado Saturday, leaving a trail of damage in its wake. Viewers sent 11 News photo showing what they saw.
