Danish researchers and scientists believe that they will find a cure for HIV within months. They are presently waiting for results of clinical trials where HIV virus is stripped from human DNA and destroyed permanently by the immune system.
The technique consists of releasing the HIV virus from the reservoirs it forms inside DNA to bring it to the surface of the cell. Once at the surface, the body's natural immune system would destroy the virus through being boosted by a vaccine.
Dr Ole Søgaard, a senior researcher at the Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark says : "I am almost certain that we will be successful in releasing the reservoirs of HIV. The challenge will be getting the patients' immune system to recognise the virus and destroy it. This depends on the strength and sensitivity of individual immune systems."
They think that within five years we could see a cure that can be offered on a large scale! That is awsome! Keep it up friends 🙂

That could change millions of lives.
If those clinical trials are a success that would be great.
I think is great!!! Keep it up!!!
I pray to GOD all mighty that this true. it will help save so many young lives, n countless great people.
Best news ever, finally something good about the HIV cure after all this time . Happy for my two friends and everyone else around the whole entire world.
This is soooo beyond WONDERFUL!!!!! 😀
Sounds good to me! I hope they find the cure. Sooner than five years would be fantastic.
This is great news, however, this isn't the first time news like this has come out. There have been several potential cures and vaccines that have failed in trial stages. No one should get their hopes up just yet.
The headline implies that a cure has been found. It is only a hypothesis at this point. This is irresponsible journalism.
If there ever is a cure, I just hope people remember the lessons we've learned over the past 30yrs– but I fear that they won't.
If so, it's only a matter of time until something comes along that makes HIV seem like a stroll beneath the cherry trees… and we're back to the '80s, all over again. 🙁
That will be a dream come true something I never though he will happen one day
Maybe we still have hope one day the day light will come to blow away the dark shadow of my life
Bravo keep it up
This is incredibly great news and should inspire those of us who are Poz to keep taking our antiretroviral meds without missing a beat. Because the stronger our immune systems are the better they will be able to kill the virus once this new drug releases them from our cells reservoirs. And I'm sure next the researchers will then be able to create a preventive vaccine for all to take to make great strides in ridding the world of HIV!! Thinking positive in a whole new way. And praying that it happens sooner than later.
Wow that's awesome! Aside from saving so many lives and making people well it would also completely change the lives of so many gay men who have experienced social stigma and relationship or dating complications. I had a BF for about a year who was Poz who I loved dearly but it was a constant stresser on our intimacy because he was the top and I was the bottom and both of us really wanted to not have to use condoms and a few times there were slip-ups that finally caused a blow-out between us. I really think things would have gone differently between us had there been a cure because that stress would have never been there. I have met and/or talked to many poz guys who I wanted to date or be with since then but that experience has held me back. This would change EVERYTHING!
Great news. Knew it would be done. Only wish it could have been done years ago and saved so many that we lost to this terrible disease.
As much joy that this initially brought to my heart, something darker emerged. I suggest that everyone head over to YouTube and watch some videos about Agenda 21. This vaccine fits the profile of part of the plan. I probably will take my chances and continue on my anti-retrovirals. Creepy.
humm this would great sadly i havea few freinds who are hiv postiave and stauff that im not andsstuff tha i have lost a lover toehis vrious sadly he no linger alive and stuffbut thisw great if th founda cure for it butothe other hand not nessalry bea good thing casse tehre people there who think that hiv and aids cant hapendor will not happen to them tha they reuseste play safe and bare back well im off
I really do hope these clinical trials are successful. The wonders of how it will feel to be HIV Negative again.
This is awesome. Im still praying that there would be a cure for this virus and keep people safe. Good Work Denmark!!!
We've been hearing this quarterly for over thirty years now. While I remain hopeful of a cure, I see no more cause for celebration regarding this report than for any that preceded it ..
this is great, hopeful news.
however, its success depends on a follow-up vaccine. is there one?
it also doesn't stop the virus from being caught or transmitted in the first place, or take into account people being infected, cured and then reinfected.
what will it cost once it's available? how will the for-profit pharma industry make money off a one-time shot versus meds you have to take daily until you die, because you'll die if you don't take them?
This is amazing, one of the most feared diseases around the community being cured
Here's hoping for a better future for the entire human race…
I hope this is true but i still want to see /hear alot more info on this & want to know what the CDC & FDA have to say because a statement like this just makes more ppl go out & have unprotected sex thinking that if they become positive so what they'll be cured within months.
I want to sign up. What's the worst that can happen.
this is total BS. there will be no cure for AIDS. the government has a cure but is choosing to let people die.
The chances are that, like with other pernicious diseases, this cure will be buried in the vault of some drug company because it's more profitable to sell meds to "control" the disease for life than it is to cure it. I bet that the vaults at the big drug companies hold total cures for cancer, diabetes, leukemia and a host of other diseases for which they now can treat for decades without curing because they make more money that way.
If such a study I going on are there anystudies like that giomg on hear in the U.S. an if not we u.s. participate in one those studies an how .
Something doesn't sound kosher in Denmark. But all kidding aside, I truly do wish the researchers nothing but success with these trials. A cure for this disease would be amazing and would bring joy to so many lives.
That is AWSOME! How will it help people that has been living with HIV for many years?
mike: From what I red, it would eradicate the virus totally…If your immune system can kill the virus on top of the cells.
This is great news. Please remind your readers that this is not a license to be too casual and unsafe. Very often good news about HIV is interpreted as a reason to move ahead with sexual abandon. It is still a terrible disease, and if an individual is one whose immune system does not recognize the virus as a threat, the dilemma continues.
There's always been a cure or vaccine for HIV/AIDS. THE ILLUMINATI are just hiding it so poor people in third world countries, and gays can die off. It was made (or further advanced in a laboratory) to kill off certain demographics of people. This is an open secret.
This would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Humm, really? Highly unlikely. This article seems very suspicious. There is NO indication the Danes are working on anything like this in any medical journal that I can find.
Betty : The Telegraph! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/10022664/Scientists-on-brink-of-HIV-cure.html
Imagine being able to bareback without worrying of becoming poz. I would try so many new things omg please let this be true!
This is great news. Let's just hope that big Pharm doesn't make it so expensive that it's out of reach for most, or even worse, block it's release to save their precious profits on treatment drugs.
It's sad that we have to think that way at all.
If this pans out, and we must remember there have been similar announcements before, many in fact, it will bring about a new age. It will change society. Look back at how different things were before this plague began. The powerful beginnings of liberation, then this evil struck… This could bring about a great new time of not just freedom from disease, but deeper liberation. The best of the 60's and early 70's followed through? Who knows…
This sounds great, and I'd love to see a cure for HIV in my lifetime. However, this is all pie in the sky until we see something definitive, so let us not be lulled into a false sense of security. HIV is still a deadly disease so condom up, boys!
i read stories like this every year… then they turn into this: http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2013/04/26/179231916/failure-of-latest-hiv-vaccine-test-a-huge-disappointment
This is such amazing news. Any progress is a step in the right direction… even the ones that turn out to be "duds", we can at least rule them out and keep moving forward. Here's to a cure in my lifetime!
So, does anyone know exactly how much semen a stomach can hold?
"They think that WITHIN FIVE YEARS we could see a cure ." Hmmm . . . this is "months?" Well, yes, about SIXTY MONTHS.
This is very exciting. As a gay man I am ecstatic, but think of what this means for the people of sub-Saharan Africa!
who posting here has had to deal with hiv/aids since 1985? well…i have. i dont hope for a cure anymore. been disappointed too many times.
Guys, please be smart and don't take this as a definitive solution. Even if this becomes true (a few years from now) and they do find a cure, you still need to protect yourselves now and possibly even after a cure is found. They are talking about a cure not a vaccine that would make you immune, which means that you can become infected repeatedly. Only you can take care of yourself!. Be safe!
Man that wood be nice to have a crue the HIV
I pray to God this is true and look forward to the life changing blessing it will be for all of us…those living with HIV, AIDS and the Family and FRIENDS that are affected and effected by HIV/AIDS also!!!
This cure will restore my faith in gay kind……….I still believe the best is yet come……
As much as i believe a cure will be found at some point, it's not responsible to put up a headline like u did. nick
I don't even read news like this anymore. They start in the headline saying that the "cure" is here or around the corner, then the article itself states that the vaccine or cure "might" "could cure if" "has the hope to" "it is expected to" I mean then that is not a cure. They are about to try it; they themselves don't even know if it works or not. Later, we never hear about the trial or study again pr they let us know massively when it fails, like the article Mike pointed out. I don't think they should let people know about it until they come up with a successful experiment. It is not fair to play with people's feelings and hopes.
The few guys that are complaining, why ? You have yourselves to blame if you ever get an STD. Don't blame the government. It didn't force you to have unprotected sex with multiple partners. This disease could go away if people didn't sleep around so much. I hope they don't find a cure because then all the other STDs will be spread even faster. They're already becoming drug resistant and spreading fast. If you guys want to die, shorten your life span or just be sick, by all means do it. This planet needs a cleansing anyways.
That is great……until our evil governments decide to make something else to kill off our kind again! HIV is a genetic mutation that some whacked minds who want to play god and have their own agendas to eradicate homosexuals off the face of the planet …and little did they know they would loose control of it and it spread among the heteros….what pathetic fools to think they can wield power over life and death!
This is a great thing to hear about. But until the minds of those who are sexually active changes about how they go about protecting themselves during sex, people will continue to become affected. The focus should remain on how to prevent it, not how to get it and get cured from it.
Too much money made on the drugs. And what would the gay men do if there was a cure? Still treat u like a outcast and leper. I know, I have been poz 20 yrs now. The scene is worse then the disease itself. We want all these rights, but when it comes to sex, look out, they will STUMP u like a bug.
Is this really true and has this been verified? I only pray it's true and correct…I've had enough of this virus personally!
This is great news for all people around the world. So many Men, Women, and Children are dealing with HIV?AIDS. Having the chance to be cured is a wonderful reality. But let's not all go out and bareback, to your hearts content. Sexually transmitted diseases are still out there. Condom use should be the norm, not the exception.
I'm sure that what will happen when the vaccine does cure HIV is that it will also turn us all into flesh eaters and begin the rise of the zombie apocalypse…
Even though things like this are said EVERY SINGLE YEAR, I guess all you can do is hope. It's great that they are making progress. I really hope & pray that there is a cure by 2014. This is effecting so many lives. I'd love to feel happy for the people who suffer everyday. I hope this time it works!
Seems like they are always "on brink of" finding a cure… Yet the big pharm Company .. Continue to provide new and improved versions of current meds. That keep people alive and coming back for more meds. A cure??? Hey there's no $$ in that!?!?…new and improved !!!. Yeah !! Kaching!!!$$.. Sadly enough even if.. (That's a big if )they find a cure its only a matter of time B4 something else comes along . Good thing that came out of this horrible horrible dease is that it made "some" people a bit more cautious and safe also made people more LTR oriented ..unfortunately at a hefty hefty price..;(…
Very Nice, but I've Heard Many Things Claimed Before, for Many Years. Is There a Rigorous Scientific Study to Back this Up?
Hunter says that it will change millions of lives. Correction
Hunter…it will change everyone's life!
Any news that includes the possibility of eradicating this dreadful disease is good news. I know way too many people who live with HIV, and seeing them being liberated from everything that this disease causes them to go through would be a true blessing. Let this be the start of a new experience for the world community in general.
yes sounds awsome but unfortunately drug companys will never let it happen due to the loss revenue they would take.
Great news! Its been far too long! If it does happen, we still need to be resonsible and never forget those we have lost.
This could be a medical miracle that i dont belive but @ Dan just because you feel this world need a cleansing just remember when it happen you wont be here.You're forgetting youre gay and youre not making any babies either.Arrogant fag.
This is great and wonderful news. I hope that it pans out and we finally have a legit cute but hope people do something stupid. I hope that guys don't go out and start having crazy unprotected sex thing it doesn't matter cause they will have a cure next year. Almost the same thing with AIDS in the 80's every was worried but thought no matter we will have a cure in no time. It wasn't until people were dying and the true devastating nature if HIV was realized that we started to protect our selfs. It would be horrible for people to treat HIV like a common cold on the boosting of a doctor.
Delusions of grandeur; unfortunately, the sustainability of HIV/AIDS is in this day and age a fully culpable and financially accessible leisure, to the content of pharmaceutical companies like Bristol-Myers. WAKE UP people! The cure for HIV has already existed for years…. The industry is just smart enough to know that your private insurance or government-backed program is willing to front the bill!
Don't hold your breath just yet. Clinical trials are just that, "trials". They're still working to see if this, among many, will work. I don't mean to be a nay-sayer, but we've been down this road before only to have our hope dashed. Let's wait and see what happens and celebrate the steps that are learned with each and every experiment. Crossing my fingers here.
This story brought a tear to my eye. Great News. This would change many people's lives forever!
God bless and hat of off all the doctors and scientists researches may hopefully this time works and is not only hopes. my preys are always with you all
I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for sure. God Bless
Don't you think your headline is a bit irresponsible? Really!! As my mama used to say, the proof is in the pudding. Let's see published results of a definite cure.
To everyone who's excited about barebacking and not worrying of contracting HIV if this is true; there are other diseases out there so you should still wrap it up! Guys like you have contributed to this HIV epidemic and the spread of other diseases and should be shot…:)
Gotta love gays. "It'll let us bareback again!" No it won't you slutty asshats. Did you forget about all of the other diseases you get from skanking around the way so many of you do? You still have to practice safe sex. Using this possible cure as a reason to go back to unsafe sexual practices is immensely irresponsible and an abuse of the medical community. This vaccine, if it ever happens, should go to countries where HIV literally destroys populations, where people can't afford control drugs. Africa needs the cure so that people stop dying, gays want it so they can stop using condoms. We don't deserve it. Stop thinking about sex first and think about countries where the virus has decimated their population and society. If you can afford the drugs to control your virus, then you can wait.
Great News hope this is true eventhough keep safe guys condom always
This is news that brings much hope to the many who are suffering from HIV. The announcement will do wonders in lining up donors willing to financially support the research so they can be part of the profits that will be earned from the promised cure. For certain, too, the treatment will be available in Denmark long long before it even comes up for possible consideration in the US so US residents should contact Dr. Ole Søgaard now to find a doctor to work with in Denmark just as soon as he and his team deliver on the promise of a cure.
exciting, but not getting my hopes up — been poz for 27 years, and have heard a similar song before…. that being said, it would be fucking fantastic.
hey JAY and ANGEL- there is no GOD.
Scott — grow the fuck up. If you're that jaded that you can't even accept the possibility that this might be a cure, then just fucking give up now and save us your doom and gloom forecast.
Alex V — exactly! Even if there's a cure, be safe.
I pray for everyone be healthy and happy again I love live God blessing every one
Many of these type of reports appear to be lobbying attempts to gain more funding. These studies require more funding so I am quite pessemistic about premature reports coming out using the words CURE in it. Where there are lots of money at stake, there are lots of scams and half-truths.
Don't get excited so quickly. We all know that HIV can and does mutate quickly in humans, thus creating an unstable virus that is hard to treat. Should this treatment be successful in eradicating the virus from the cells, it would also need to overcome this challenge.
Could we all start being a little more optimistic people. Think about how far HIV research has progressed in the last 10 years alone. It is no longer a death sentence as you are all Hastily misled to believe. We are on the forefront of eradicating this Virus and you all are using every pathetic bone in your bodies to try and negate all of their efforts. Shame on You. It amazes me to this day how uneducated most people are about hiv, this so called virus that causes aids. Start educating yourselves and stop pigeon holing people who have this controlled, undetectable Virus in their bodies.
The Danish researchers have officially corrected what was stated in the Daily Telegraph. A cure is years–not months–away:
What a waste reading many of these comments.
The conspiracy posts are among the worst. People all over the world want American pharmaceuticals, especially HIV drugs.
There is no God? Without God there would be no "masterminds" belching that there is no God.
Want less R&D on medicines? Tell the government to take over healthcare. Oh yeah, Obamao and friends are already taking care of that.
To those who say another deadly STD will emerge, that's probably correct. There is reportedly an incurable strain of gonorrhea showing up in hookers in Japan.
Screw promiscuity.
60% of gay porn actors are reportedly POZ now. So hot, so edgy. Let's see if we can collapse a civil society.
Keep going guys – we sure will get there eventually. I just hope it's sooner rather than later for som of us.
Even though the process that will lead to a cure, the cure will still take a little while to become widely available. As a doctor, I get lots of calls from my patients asking me for updates. The truth is that there is hope, but a safe, secure and feasible process has to be developed. This is not a magic pill you take and the virus will leave the infected cell. SO please be patient and understand that even though we can affect the virus with a number of different chemicals outside of the body, it doesn't mean that it works the same inside the body.
Forgive my cynicism, but I've heard this song before.
Hello my name is Thalvin I want to give a testimony about my HIV virus that
was cured by a great spell caster. Since last 4 months I have being a HIV
AID patient. I never think I live long again and am so grateful about him
Dr.Ojuku who help me cured my HIV AIDS last 3 weeks. I was in a great pain
so I told one of my best friends; he told me that there is a great spell
caster that can cure my VIRUS. I asked her if she had his email, she gave
me his email, I emailed him he talked to me and he perform the necessary
rituals and he told me that after two weeks I should go for a test. Which I
did, when the doctor told me that am now a HIV negative I couldn't believe
myself I went to see another doctor the result was still the same, I was
human on planet earth, so I emailed him and thanked him. Please if you are
having a similar problem please visit him/contact him at ;
(firstname.lastname@example.com).com All thanks to Dr Ojuku regard…..
i am by name called, sophia andrew,I will says to the world to celebrate this great testimony with me, i never believe i can eve get rid of these horrible disease one day. My story and thanksgiving goes to dr.efosa the powerful man who help me to CURE MY HIV/AIDS disease from my life. I don't know how to say this to everyone, dr.efosa is a truthful man with high herbs power's he uses to save people's life. Last 2 weeks i came in contact with dr.efosa emails on the internet which people gave much testimonies about his kind fullness work. So i decided to contact him quickly because this disease was almost on the last step of taking my life from me. I have tried all my best in life to get heal but nobody could ever help apart from dr.efosa who finally help me to cure my HIV disease from me. I was amazed and overwhelmed when the doctor confirm that i am now healed from aids, and now, i am an HIV/AIDS NEGATIVE PATIENT. I wish anyone who is sick today and wants a healing please i will kindly advice you to contact this man called dr.efosa now at: email@example.com
I certainly hope for a cure soon….. but I tend to agree with the guy about BIG PHARMA having the secrets stored in their vaults along with cures for cancer …diabetes …and even heart disease …..THESE people are just TOO GREEDY !!!!
To everyone putting gay people down and saying stupid ignorant statements. First of all. The gay n bi sexuals are NOT the highest percentage of people still contracting HIV N AIDS. Its the straight n bi community who are contracting and transmitting HIV more than the gay community. Its been a very long time since it's been mostly the gay community contacting and transmitting the virus. That was in the 80's n early 90's. The gay community are the ones who know more,about the virus n the few ways of transmitting the virus and also have safe sex the most because you ignorant people who think your not going to get it because " its suppose tombe a gay diease " which by the way its not a diease, its a virus. Very different, you guys are the ones who don't worry about playing safe and are the ones who have the highest percentage of people getting it.

A Conversation With A Customer
I had a very human conversation with a white customer of mine yesterday. She was upset that Blomberg walked, because she thought it was a clear case of brutality, but she resented the fact that racism was implied by the protesters, because some whites get harassed too. I shares some of my perspectives, and the fact that I had experienced minor physical harassment as a youth and that I had witnessed much a much harsher physical attack against a friend of mine. I told her I could not fathom that race is not involved in brutality, but that all in all I thought it was a case of race, class and gender. I don't think that I convinced her. She agreed that classism existed, but she really could not accept the idea of racism. I told her about some of my mom's experiences at Woodlands Mall, and she thought it was "terrible," but remain unconvinced. She did think that Mexicans should learn English. I told her in a polite tone that whites never learned the native language and that they have done just fine for themselves. That actually seemed to make her think some. This was just an interesting exchange that I thought I would share.

I was wondering if it is possible to construct an explicit bijection from the set of primes to the set of square-free integers. Thanks.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

The $2$ sets have the same cardinality, so there exists a bijection. One explicit example would be mapping the $n$-th prime to the $n$-th square-free number: $$2 \mapsto 1 \\ 3 \mapsto 2 \\5 \mapsto 3 \\7 \mapsto 5 \\11 \mapsto 6 \\ \ldots $$
There is an obvious bijection between the set of finite sets of primes and the set of positive squarefree integers, which sends each finite set of primes to the product of all elements in that set (where the empty product is considered to be $1$). This is clearly surjective, and is injective. I wonder whether there is a nice general proof which exhibits a "natural" bijection between a countable set $S$ and the set of all finite subsets of $S$ (there is a bijection- it's just a question of whether it can be done in a uniform manner) I suppose some sort of lexicographic order should work, but I don't see a quick "trick" .

Die-hard summer people are probably yelling, "Summer is not over yet!" Trust me, I do not want to see the warm weather fade away like a sunset. But with today's economy, being a smart retail shopper means taking advantage of opportunities like summer sales. Now is the perfect time to scoop up summer deals for you and your home. Below are just a few summer bargains worth checking out in your neighborhood store that could save you lots of money.
Backyard Bargains
Remember that backyard furniture you saw in early spring you felt you had to have, until you saw the price tag? Now is a good time to go back and check to see if it has been marked down. Umbrellas, chairs, tables, and play areas for kids are all being discounted now to make room for school supplies and other Fall items.
Linens and Home Accessories
White sales are end of season sales for all things linen. These sales help to move out all the old bedding and home styles. Things like comforters, pillows, rugs and a variety of home accessories are all reduced in price to help make room for holiday stock.
Summer Clothing and Essentials
Summer clothing also gets a big markdown at the end of the season. Many retailers are trying to move the summer stuff to help make room for back to school clothes and new Fall fashions. Summer items like sandals, bathing suits, flip flops, shorts and tank tops are all getting big discounts. As long as they are not overly trendy they can be great finds. Sunglasses, self-tanners and shampoos with scents that are inspired by summer are usually discounted greatly. Beware of getting sunscreen on sale, it does have an expiration date on it and may become expired before you get a chance to use it next year.
If having the latest greatest tech item isn't that important to you, now is the time to pick up on some electronic goodies. The beginning of the season for new gadgets is usually before Christmas. Items like laptops, GPS, MP3 players and even cell phones are all discounted to move out the old and make room for the new.
Home Improvement Supplies
Home improvement stores are great places to pick up portable coolers, patio furniture, grills and fencing. Air conditioners and above-ground pools get big discounts too so big box stores don't have to waste space storing them in the off season.
New models of vehicles come out around early Fall. Dealerships will be having great deals on last year's models to help make room for the new year of inventory. This is another area where if a new model of something isn't that important to you, you can save a lot of money by getting the older model.
Keep your eyes peeled, the later into the season the deeper the cuts will be on these summer items. It's important to take a few trips to the stores to check out the discount aisles and racks. As long you don't mind having last year's model when it comes to electronics, then you might as well try and save some money with great end-of-summer deals. Remember, with a practical budget in mind, you can nab some great finds that will come in handy during warm months for years to come.

Police Maverick
- For the police helicopters in GTA III and GTA Chinatown Wars, see Police Helicopter (GTA III) and Helicopter (GTA CW) respectively.
|Police Maverick
|VCPD Police Maverick in GTA Vice City, in its first appearance in the series as a controllable helicopter..
[[Appearance::GTA Vice City
GTA San Andreas
GTA Liberty City Stories (in missions)
GTA Vice City Stories
|Vehicle type
|Police aircraft
|Body style
|4-door helicopter

The Police Maverick, also known as the VCPD Maverick in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, is the police adaptation of the civilian Maverick helicopter, and the first controllable police helicopter introduced in series when it debuted in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
The Police Maverick possess many characteristics of the preceding police helicopter in Grand Theft Auto III. When flown by police units once the player obtains a 3-star wanted level, the helicopter has an "invisible" 50mm machine gun on the fuselage (similar in both sound and power to the M-60), as well as a searchlight, and a loud speaker (used by the police to address the player from the skies) only absent in the GTA Vice City Stories rendition. The helicopter can also airdrop up to four SWAT units on ropes in GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA Liberty City Stories, and GTA Vice City Stories, when the player's wanted level is 4 or more.
The Police Maverick controls similarly to a normal Maverick, differing only by its ability to pitch steeper than a regular Maverick (especially in games prior to GTA IV). In addition, Police Mavericks obtainable by the player will have no microphone or machine gun fire. A toggleable search light is also available on the GTA San Andreas rendition (see #Trivia).
GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories
Like the Maverick, the helicopter has made repeated appearances in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories, the helicopter is usually always parked on the roof of the main police station of the city. In GTA Liberty City Stories, it is also not available in a normal game, but can be obtained by a third party trainer program. Like the Maverick, the Police Maverick originally featured two rotor blades.
With the exception of GTA San Andreas, two versions of the Police Maverick exist in all its appearances between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories. Airborne Police Mavericks operated by the police feature its back doors slide back, but the same back doors of Police Mavericks available to the player swing open instead. In GTA Vice City Stories, the slide-door variant retains GTA Vice City's green and white livery while the swing-door variant is only available in a olive/gold and white livery. The slid-door variant is not normally available to the player, but it is possible to spawn a slid-door VCPD Maverick in GTA Vice City Stories through a cheat device.
In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Liberty City Stories, there is no visible pilot flying the helicopter when it is flown by an NPC. This visual goof was rectified in GTA Liberty City Stories by simply having the windows of the helicopter blackened, obscuring the interior; Police Mavericks spawned using a cheat device, however, feature transparent windows. In GTA Vice City Stories, there is a pilot appearing as a normal police officer without any pilot gear.
Once the player has destroyed a VCPD Maverick in GTA Vice City Stories, it drops a Pistol and a Nightstick.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Police Maverick is in turn based on a redone Maverick, and as a result, features a rear slid-doors and a four-blade main rotor. In place of an "invisible" machine gun under the fuselage are two officers seated on both sides of the helicopter, programmed to shoot the player with M4A1s; its ability to deploy tactical response units has also been dropped in the game. In The Ballad Of Gay Tony, the officers will be armed with Advanced MGs (M249 SAWs) instead.
The Police Maverick is slightly faster than a regular Maverick and can turn faster, thus giving it more maneuverability.
- In GTA Vice City, the red light on the back of airborne Police Mavericks is dislocated, and remain in the same place as its predecessor.
- In GTA Vice City, the police pilot voice actor is arguably the most intimidating police pilot in the GTA series.
- In GTA Vice City, there is no pilot in the chopper and is preferably "driving by itself" this was fixed in GTA Vice City Stories however as you can see a pilot and his weapons will become obtainable after taking down the helicopter.
- During development of GTA San Andreas, there were LSPD Police Mavericks.[1]
- GTA San Andreas is the only GTA game to date that lets the player turn on its powerful search light, but its the direction can only be controlled in the PC version - in console versions, it moves in the opposite direction to the movement of the helicopter. The light can only be turned on at night by pressing the left analog stick (Xbox), R2 button (PS2) or Left Shift key (PC).
- If the player manages to steal the Police Maverick in GTA San Andreas, the helicopter will remain hostile. For example, if the player parks the helicopter and gets out, the helicopter's underbelly will shoot at the player from the ground; this is due to programming limitations however.
- In GTA San Andreas, the mounted gun oddly bypasses any coding that would make the object/character invisible. For instace, it will damage the player even if the "Invincibility" cheat is activated. It also can damage Rhino, which would be impossible with any other firearm; only molotovs, flamethrowers, and crashing the tank have the ability of damaging the Rhino.
- In GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories, the player is able to steal the Police Maverick chasing them on certain occasions.
- To ensure the player does not manage to gain control of an NPC Police Maverick in GTA Liberty City Stories, the helicopters are programmed to explode upon contact with the player, or fly higher than the player.
- Whilst all Police Mavericks have police radios, the GTA Liberty City Stories rendition is equipped with a conventional radio.
- The Police Maverick appears in Rockstar North's Manhunt 2, bearing the VCPD's color scheme.
- There is a Glitch involving the Police Maverick in Grand Theft Auto IV where once Niko gets out, the helicopter will start flying away and fall once it is realised that there is no pilot. This is because the game still reads the helicopter as AI controlled. Holding Y (Xbox 360) or Triangle (PS3) to shut off the engine will prevent this. This will no longer happen when the player goes back to the safehouse from a considerable distance away from it.
- In GTA Vice City, AI Police Mavericks can be seen flying around without a wanted level. They are not solid and do not have any engine noise, for example, when you touch it you go right through it. They can't be destroyed.
- The Police Maverick in GTA Vice City Stories is the first in all the GTA series (excluding GTA 1,2,and Advance)to not feature a loudspeaker. Although it has an actual pilot, no comments are ever made towards the player.
- GTA Vice City
- GTA San Andreas
- On top of the LSPD rooftop in Pershing Square, Los Santos after completing the mission Learning to Fly.
- GTA Vice City Stories
- On roof of the Downtown and Washington Beach police stations (Before and After mission From Zero To Hero)
- Only obtainable by sniping the pilot, making the helicopter slowly hover to the ground undamaged. It only works 5/10 times. Also obtainable by an even more frustrating process in which the helicopter is disabled at a low enough altitude that all occupants live, and then the chopper is pushed into a safehouse parking spot. That method probably works less often than the previous. Other than that, you can only fly the Police Maverick in multiplayer race mode.
NOTE: If the player manages to lure the helicopter over the pond in Middle Park, it will be easier to obtain, although the helicopter must have an open space and the water must be shallow.
- The Ballad Of Gay Tony
- (Multiplayer only) On the rooftop helipad of the East Holland police station in Algonquin.
- During the mission "Not So Fast", you can steal a Police Maverick when you have to climb back on to the roof to get back in Yusuf's Buzzard by waiting a few seconds, when a Police Maverick will land on the roof.

Last Thursday evening, TFN's Jordan McDowell was asked to scout out the Best Dressed attendees at the Screenfields outdoor cinema screening of Sex And The City in Spinningfields. Here's what happened:
"Whilst season ticket holders and those coming along for the one-off carried their yellow deck chairs to the big screen in Hardman Square I prepared for my duty as Style Judge by having a large glass of White at The Alchemist; just as I'm told Simon Cowell does before The X Factor.
The Fashion Network was asked to help Spinningfields locate their 12 best dressed Screenfields attendees and spying an opportunity to channel my inner Amanda Holden I jumped at the chance. As guests settled down under blankets on the grass ready for the film I was on the prowl for the best dressed armed with vouchers for booze and fashion.
Despite the fashion credentials of a film like Sex And The City the pickings were slim at Hardman Square that evening as people opted for warmth against the characteristic chilly Manchester July and left their on-trend heeled sandals and Raybans at home. However, not intimidated by the endeavour I convinced the powers that be that we should open the competition up to gentleman folk as the grass verges were littered with rolled up chinos and straw trilbys.
The twelve runners up. (well, nearly all of them)
In all, twelve runners up were treated to a free cocktail at the Mojito Bar courtesy of The Alchemist, the selected winners donning everything from SATC inspired fancy dress to leather jackets, picnic blazers and 'TOPSHOP Princess' hair bands. Once the runners up had got their drinks the final four were selected (just because we felt we hadn't judged enough). The final four each took home £50.00 worth of vouchers for either Flannels or LKBennet on The Avenue in Spinningfields. Hey Little Cupcake also created four special treats to commemorate the film, a Carrie lemon cupcake spiked with Cointreau, a Miranda Ginger Nut, Charlotte angel cake and Samantha dark cheery chocolate (my choice) which were given to the winners and on sale throughout the screening."

Screenfields plays to the crowds every Thursday until September 1st, tickets are £2 p/showing.

Higgins, Drew Set Climb To The Clouds Mark
GORHAM, N.H. – Subaru Rally Team USA's David Higgins and Craig Drew won their third consecutive Rally America National Championship at the Subaru Mt. Washington Hillclimb, Climb to the Clouds June 29, and set a new record in the process.
Their resounding victory added a larger buffer to their overall points standings lead at the midpoint of the Rally America National Championship season, and against their main rival and teammates Travis Pastrana and Chrissie Beavis.
Higgins and Drew drove a flawless Hillclimb to take the lead after the very first stage with Pastrana and Beavis just 2.9 seconds behind. Pastrana stayed in attack mode until a massive Stage 3 tire puncture ripped through the body work of his car to lose nearly 30 seconds. On Stage 5, Pastrana was down on power and lost another minute to Higgins before salvaging a second place finish.
With a single stage left, Higgins found more speed to destroy the record he previously set that morning by at least two seconds with a time of 6:09.09.
"It was a great event and we put in a big effort for those few seconds," explained Higgins. "There is so much history here and it's great to be a part of it again for Subaru. This was a big challenge this weekend as we had Pastrana and our old record staring us down. But Craig (Drew) was perfect on the notes and Subaru gave me a car that was perfect."
The team was uncertain the record would be attainable with a less than ideal hill climb car. But the possibility of breaking the record materialized when the team found that Higgins was a second slower off his 2011 record when combining his best Friday and Saturday stage times from the lower and upper half runs.
Notably, FY Racing's Adam Yeoman and Jordan Schulze suffered car issues at the start of the rally event that immediately forced the team into service and reenter the next day with time penalties according to Super Rally rules.
The Climb to the Clouds will be a memorable event for Super Production's Dillon Van Way and Andrew Edwards who took third overall and their very first Super Production Class victory.
Van Way's victory comes at an important juncture in his battle with class rivals Nick Roberts and Rhianon Gelsomino in the points standings. Not only does Van Way remain second overall in the overall standings, but he also increases his SP points lead by 14 over Roberts.
In the Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) category, Andrew Comrie-Picard and Ole Holter dominated in their Ford Fiesta ST to take their second victory this season.
William Petrow and Ryan Symancek set the fastest 2WD time up the mountain in their 1991 Nissan 240sx with a time of 7:09.95.
The Climb to the Clouds' only all female team of Erika Detota and Mary Warren finished ninth overall and fourth in the 2WD Class.

If you are planning a "best of the best" gathering, whether it be a Wedding, a family reunion, milestone birthday, or any other momentous occasion, The Broadmoor Hotel and Resort offers the best of everything! They happen to be rated by Forbes as one of 53 hotels in North America with a 5 Star rating. And in addition to this, the Broadmoor Spa has received the same award but in an elite group of only 18 in North America. That is quite an accomplishment.
The Broadmoor would be a great backdrop to the perfect wedding and reception. With a lake, bridges, mountain views, a championship golf course, spa, restaurants and ballrooms, you would be sure to please all the decision makers of the event. Bride, Groom, In-Laws and guests would leave the Broadmoor with memories of the best wedding they ever attended. When it's time to celebrate your 30th, 40th or 50th anniversary, what better way to commend yourselves than to visit the very place you were married.
This place has it all and I hope that you will get the privilege to visit this Award winning and unique Resort. Having stayed in the Resort and having visited the Spa at the Broadmoor on a few separate occasions, I would have to agree that this is one of the best spas in North America. See, I am a wanna-be "spa connoisseur" of sorts. I have been to spas in Las Vegas, California, Hawaii and in Colorado- Vail, Beaver Creek, Estes Park. But am pleased to report that my favorite of these is right here in Colorado Springs, nestled against the mountain base. I go back every time I get a chance, and each time is the best experience you could imagine.

#ThrowbackThursday: Aboard Cunard in the 1970s
November 14, 2013 | By Chris Gray Faust | No Comments
When my father traveled with me last month on Cunard's Queen Mary 2, I expected to hear a few tales of déjà vu. After all, he had sailed with my mother on Adventurer, one of the line's smaller ships, back in 1974.
(The vessel, along with its twin Cunard Ambassador, represented a departure from the transatlantic company and was one of its first ventures into leisure cruising. Interestingly enough, after years with Norwegian Cruise Lines, the ship still lives on with Louis Cruises, first as Coral and now as Rhea.).
Back then, cruising had yet to become a mainstream vacation (this was well before The Love Boat sailed into America's hearts), and the pictures my parents took it proved it. "There wasn't much choice in those days," my father noted. Traveling out of San Juan, the ship made stops in Aruba, Grenada and Caracas, Venezuela, a port that you don't see on too many itineraries anymore.
On this #ThrowbackThursday, here are a few more changes that my father noticed since his last Cunard outing (he's also traveled on Crystal, Carnival, Princess, and Viking river):
The cabins are more luxe. Our suite in Princess Grills bore little resemblance to the ship my dad described. "Cabin was NOT great. We had bunk beds!" he told me. Also, the ship had no balconies, although there was a porthole for light.
The officers eat separately. Because of my job at Cruise Critic, we were graciously invited to dine with the captain on QM2, a lovely experience on formal night. But back in the day, officers were assigned to every large table and ate with passengers every night, Dad said. "We were with the ship's doctor. He had us for cocktails in his cabin." (Personally, I love those mid-century Mod chairs).
Changes in the dining room, food. "I think the food quality went down as the variety of eating places went up," said Dad, although he's quick to note that his palate has changed drastically over the years ("We were 30 years old, we didn't know much.").
Changes in the dining room, service. Back in the '70s, "waiters were more friendly and every table had a busboy assigned to it," he said. While we were assigned to Princess Grill (and only ate dinner twice there over five days), Dad also quibbled with the more casual approach toward drinks served with the meal. "Our wine steward was rarely seen, even in PG. It used to be more of a big deal."
Now it's your turn – we're dying to see your #ThrowbackThursday cruise photos! Send them to firstname.lastname@example.com with Throwback in the subject line.

Boiler Pipe Insulation
I have lots of my boiler pipe under the house in a crawl space and some in the basement and none of this pipe is insulated. I just bought the house last year and this past winter my gas bill was crazy high. Can I increase efficiency by insulating these pipes and what are some other ways to keep the gas bill lower by optimizing the my boiler system?
Thanks and I look forward to your answer……….Bill – Pittsburgh, PA
You can definitely save a lot of money by insulating those pipes unless you have a good reason to heat under your house or your basement. Some people can use a little heat in their basement but using the boiler pipe to heat the basement is not an efficient way to heat a space as the pipe is designed to transfer heat from the boiler to a radiator designed to release the heat to the space. All the piping in the loop aside from near boiler piping where the pump and controls such as zone valves and water loop air management devices need to be insulated. The more pipe that is insulated the better your efficiency will be as this will lessen the heat loss experienced in the non-insulated boiler loop pipe. There are alternatives for insulating the boiler loop pipe and in certain cases you need to proceed with caution. Read on for more Boiler Pipe Insulation information.
Boiler Pipe Insulation – Safety First and the Old Asbestos Insulation
There are lots of homes and businesses that have asbestos insulation on the pipe and sometimes this asbestos insulation is falling off or in some kind of disrepair. Asbestos is very dangerous to your health and it is best to hire a professional asbestos removal company to mitigate or remove the old asbestos. In some cases the old asbestos can be encased in something so that it is never a danger to anyone ever again unless it is disturbed and re-exposed but it can be covered up so that the old asbestos does not present a problem to anyone ever again. Believe me, you will want to be careful around asbestos…………………..my uncle suffered and eventually died from asbestos related illness so take it very seriously and be careful around the old asbestos. Hire an asbestos removal company to get rid of it forever and then you can insulate those pipes with something safer like the fiberglass insulation shown in the photos here.
Boiler Pipe Insulation Types
Fiberglass insulation is made especially for pipe and boiler applications and can be used on boiler piping insulation with temperature ranges from -20 degrees Fahrenheit up to +500 degrees Fahrenheit which covers the range of temperatures if you have either a steam boiler or a hot water boiler. Fiberglass insulation (as in the photo) will make the best type of insulation for either steam or hot water boiler piping and can be purchased in various sizes along with various fittings such as T's, 90′s, and 45′s. Wear some gloves when handling the fiberglass pipe insulation as this insulation will make you feel itchy if it comes into contact with your skin. Additionally, the best you can get is the fiberglass pipe insulation with a jacket on the outside and an adhesive strip to join it after you wrap the pipe. This makes it look professional and neat and it is also durable. Fiberglass does lose its R value if exposed to water and the jacket will prevent limited contact with water if there is a leak or drip on the pipe insulation. The jacket will not be that effective if flooding occurs but probably nothing will be effective in a flood.
Boiler Pipe Insulation
Rubatex pipe insulation would not be a good pipe insulation for steam boiler piping insulation as there is a temperature limit (steam pipe temperatures exceed 200 degrees Fahrenheit) however Rubatex would be suitable for hot water boiler pipe insulation. Rubatex is flexible and can easily be fitted for T's, 90′s, and 45′s and is available for purchase for very small pipe 5/8″ all the way up to over 6 inches. Another consideration for Rubatex is the UV rating if the insulation is going to be exposed to sunlight. Some Rubatex pipe insulation is not rated for direct sunlight use so keep that in mind if the pipe you are insulating is in direct sunlight. Rubatex is also purchased as a solid and split seamed with and without an adhesive strip to join the Rubatex after it is applied to the pipe. There is a special adhesive you can purchase to join the Rubatex with the adhesive. It is painted on the seam with a brush and after it dries the Rubatex is permanently joined for a good seal. A good seal is normally not important for boiler applications as it is for chilled water or refrigeration lines that operate below the dew point. In that case it is very important the pipe is properly insulated to the point that it provides a vapor barrier to prevent air moisture from getting to the pipe. If moisture gets to the pipe then it will leak water as the cold pipe without insulation operating below the dew point will condense the water from the air surrounding the uninsulated pipe. This can create problems especially with wood damage, mold and mildew to the dwelling. Rubatex is commonly used for residential air conditioners and heat pumps to seal the suction line which commonly operates below dew point and will drip water creating problems. However Rubatex insulation can also be used to insulate hot water boiler piping. Make sure you check the temperature ratings before purchasing as there are different types of Rubatex insulation with different temperature ratings.
Boiler Pipe Insulation
There are several other types of foam insulation available for boiler pipe insulation applications however the two types of insulation above are the most common and the most available for purchase either locally or online. Rubatex can even be purchased at one of your local big box hardware stores to get you started on your boiler pipe insulation project. While you are at it you can go ahead an insulate all the hot water pipes coming from your water heater. That will help the efficiency of your water heater and help the hot water get to the faucet faster. Good luck and I hope I have answered your question.

Moore graduated from Washington University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1937. He worked for General Electric in airborne gunfire and missile guidance systems until 1946. He worked for two years at the Washington University Research Foundation until being hired by North American Aviation as Leader of their Aerophysics Laboratory Electromechanical Group in 1948. Under his leadership the pioneering inertial navigation system and automated flight control systems for the Navaho intercontinental cruise missile were developed, which led to later systems for the Hound Dog cruise missile, X-15 and B-70 aircraft, and Apollo. His leadership made what became North American's Autonetics Division one of the premier American sources of expertise in advanced aircraft inertial guidance and control systems. Moore was named President of that division in 1960.
He was considered a prime candidate to become North American's President once Kindelberger retired and Lee Atwood moved up to the CEO position. After the acquisition of North American by Rockwell Corporation in 1967 Moore indeed became President of North American Rockwell. However things did not work out well with the new corporate headquarters, and by 1970 he moved to McDonnell Douglas where he founded and then became President of the Nitron McDonnell Douglas microelectronics subsidiary. He left McDonnell Douglas in 1978, then joined Northrop in 1979, eventually becoming General Manager of Northrop's Electro-Mechanical Division in 1985.
Moore was an accomplished engineer, reported to be debonaire, a snappy dresser, and a lady's man.
Born: 1916.

"Divergent" debuted at No. 1 for movies on demand from Aug. 4 to Aug. 10, 2014, according to Rentrak. "Divergent" is a thrilling action-adventure film set in a world where people are divided into distinct factions based on human virtues. Tris Prior (played by Shailene Woodley) is warned she is Divergent and will never fit into any one group. When she discovers a conspiracy by a faction leader (played by Kate Winslet) to destroy all Divergents, Tris must learn to trust in the mysterious Four (played by Theo James) and together they must find out what makes being Divergent so dangerous before it's too late. Based on the best-selling book series by Veronica Roth. "Divergent" got mixed reviews from critics but was a blockbuster hit.
"Noah" fell from No. 1 to No. 2. Russell Crowe stars as Noah in this film inspired by the epic biblical story of courage, sacrifice and hope. Directed by Darren Aronofsky. Also starring Jennifer Connelly, Ray Winstone, Emma Watson, Anthony Hopkins, Douglas Booth and Logan Lerman. Most critics gave "Noah" mixed-to-positive reviews, and the movie was a hit when it was released in cinemas.
"Heaven Is for Real" dropped from No. 2 to No. 3. In the drama "Heaven Is for Real" (based on a true story), Greg Kinnear stars as Todd Burpo, a small-town pastor whose son Colton (played by Connor Corum) claims to have visited heaven during a near-death experience. Colton recounts the details of his amazing journey with childlike innocence and speaks matter-of-factly about things that happened before his birth — things he couldn't possibly know. Todd and his family are then challenged to examine the meaning from this remarkable event. "Heaven Is for Real" got mostly negative reviews from critics but was a box-office hit.
"Need for Speed" debuted at No. 4. In the action film "Need for Speed" (which is based on the video game of the same title), Aaron Paul plays Tobey Marshall, a street racer who was framed by a wealthy business associate. Fresh from prison, Tobey joins a cross-country race with revenge in mind. His ex-partner, who learns about the plan, places a massive bounty on his head as the race begins. "Need for Speed" was a flop with critics and in cinemas.
"Oculus" debuted at No. 5. In the horror movie "Oculus," siblings Kaylie Russell (played by Karen Gillan) and Tim Russell (played Brenton Thwaites) are haunted by a tragedy from their past: Several years earlier, when Tim was a child, he was found guilty of the brutal murder of their father, Alan (played by Rory Cochrane). After Tim gets out of a psychiatric institution, he goes to live with Kaylie, who is convinced that a big, ornate mirror in the family home was responsible for the murder — and she is determined to prove it. "Oculus" got mostly negative reviews and did mediocre business at the box office.
Also noteworthy: The religious drama "God's Not Dead" (starring Shane Harper and Kevin Sorbo) debuted at No. 6.
Here are the Top 5 movies on demand for the week of Aug. 4 to Aug. 10, 2014:
1. Divergent (debut)
2. Noah (No. 1 in the previous week)
3. Heaven Is for Real (No. 2 in the previous week)
4. Need for Speed (debut)

Whilst still not yet made offical, leaked specs of ASUS' very soon to be released Ion based Eee PC 1201N have briefly appeared on EeePC.
liliputing were quick enough to take note of what it's likely to shape up with; a 12.1-inch screen, dual-core Atom 333 CPU (a nice adjustment over the previously rumored Atom 270), 3GB of RAM, 320GB HDD, HDMI out, multitouch trackpad, six-cell battery and of course Windows 7. There's three color choices for the unit; black, blue, or red.
If the Ion based unit isn't your cup of tea, a more laid back non-Ion version dubbed the Eee PC 1201HA is also said to be launching at the same time with lesser specs across the board.

|Effect of air temperature on the abomasal and small intestinal digestion of a milk substitute diet given to young calves
|M. S. Cockram, T. G. Rowan
|Animal Production
|Start page
|End page
|Twelve Friesian calves with abomasal cannulae were kept in a controlled environment chamber and given a milk substitute in buckets at 12-h intervals. Calves were exposed to air temperatures of 25°C from 4 to 10 days old, 5° from 11 to 14 days old, and 25° at 15 days old. At 9, 10, 11, 14 and 15 days old, the abomasal contents of the calves were sampled at 2-h intervals and the temperature and pH of the abomasal contents were recorded at 40-min intervals for a period of 12 h. Rectal and abomasal temperatures of the calves were lower at 11 than at 10 days old, and were greater at 15 than at 14 days old (P<0.05). In a similar experiment 4 Friesian calves with ileal re-entrant cannulae were exposed to air temperatures of 25° from 5 to 19 days old, 5° from 20 to 26 days old, and 25° at 27 days old. At 18, 19, 20, 26 and 27 days old the ileal contents of the calves were collected and sampled for a period of 12 h. There were no significant effects of air temperatures of 25° and 5° on abomasal digestion (acidity and proteolytic activity of the abomasal contents) and ileal apparent digestibility.

Spring of Tirta Empul located in the area of Tampaksiring, Gianyar County, is famous for its uniqueness. The holy water is often used as an option to perform self-purificatory rite or melukat to acquire serenity and clarity of mind as well as inner peacefulness. It has been believed by Hindu community in Bali since the 10th century to the present. On holy days like full moon, new moon and Kliwon, the springs situated on the spiritual tourist area is thronged by many people, starting from local community, those of outside Bali to overseas. They usually come with their relatives and then submerge themselves, clear mind and heart.
People performing the self-purificatory rite usually bring along ritual oblations such as canangsari and incense to be presented on the Padmasana shrine. After saying prayers, the journey is continued to the sacred area in the upstream of Pakerisan River. In this upstream area is called Madya Mandala, equipped with a pond having tens of showers. Here is the location of implementing the self-purificatory rite by means of canangsari and incense. With a piece of cloth to wrap the majority of body, the pilgrims do self-purification by soaking themselves in the water source through the showers. After that, they change clothes and come into to the innermost courtyard to pray at the shrine of Tirta Empul Temple.
People believe that the shower water can improve the existing kundalini aura in the body, where there is a shower used to get rid of negative elements such as pain and bad feelings. Before plunging into the pond, the pilgrims must deliver an offering with the intention of getting permission that they will start the self-purificatory rite. The Tirta Empul as relics of the kingdom in Bali has many ancient relics. On the highland in the west side of the temple sits the Presidential Palace which was built during the rule of President Sukarno.
One of the local temple attendants told that the temple name was taken from the name of spring located within the temple namely the Tirta Empul. 'Tirta Empul' means the water springing out of the ground. The name Tirta Empul has something to do with the mythology on the battle of King Mayadenawa of Batu Anyar (Bedahulu) with Lord Indra. In the mythology, it is told that the King Mayadenawa was authoritarian and did not allow people to carry out ceremony to beg salvation to God Almighty. After the act was known by the gods, then the gods under leadership of Lord Indra attacked Mayadenawa.
Ultimately Mayadenawa could be defeated and fled northwards and arrived at Tampaksiring village. Due to his power, Mayadenawa created a poisonous spring causing many troops of Lord Indra to die after drinking the water. Seeing this, Lord Indra immediately plugged the spear so it emitted water out of the ground (Tirta Empul) and the holy water was then used to sprinkle all the gods so that not long after that they regained their life. For travelers wishing to visit the Tirta Empul must first purchase a ticket worth IDR 6,000 (adult) and IDR 3,000 (children). (BTN/015)

On this day...
by Kate Smith
Tommy Smith was SAFC's FA Cup hero back in 2004.
2004 – Two extra time goals from Tommy Smith secured a fifth round FA Cup replay victory at Birmingham City. The win set up a game with Sheffield United, which Smith once again scored the winner in to send Sunderland to the semi-final to play Milwall at Old Trafford.
1961 – John Goodchild scored a first half hat-trick in his only appearance during that season; a 4-2 victory at Leeds United.
1950 – A first half Len Shackleton goal secured all three points against Blackpool. The win saw Sunderland move to third position in the top flight.


text: Stephanie Butnick: Sarah Posner writes on The Daily Beast that the "media scrum"surrounding the 10 Baptist missionaries from Idaho charged with child trafficking in Haiti is drawing attention to the problem of undersupervised American missionaries abroad. The highly publicized incident illustrates the need for mission organizations to administer more rigorous volunteer background checks, familiarize volunteers with local regulations and perform better oversight. Posner writes, "The exhortation of evangelical organizations such as the Southern Baptist Convention—to go forth to all nations to preach the gospel—can lead to naive or inadequately trained missionaries finding themselves in more complicated situations than they anticipated."

Motorola cools on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich updates
They won't always work so it won't always do them
PHONE MAKER Motorola has irked its users by telling them that it will not be updating all of its smartphones to the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.
In a blog post at the end of last week the firm explained to users why they are not getting the updates that they want. "Wondering about software updates for your device? You're not alone," it said.
"You may be wondering why all devices aren't being upgraded to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Here's the deal. We work very closely with Google and cell phone carriers for every software update. And, obviously we want the new release to improve our devices. If we determine that can't be done-well then, we're not able to upgrade that particular device. Happy upgrading!"
Users are not happy, and are complaining that their phones, which are less than a year old in some cases, are being denied a refresh while others are getting it with no problems.
"My Droid 3 isn't even a year old, and Motorola has decided not to upgrade it. Phones with slower processors, less RAM, and manufacturers with fewer resources have been upgraded to ICS. This is an infuriating call by Motorola, as it was made with one factor in mind: money," said one poster in the comments.
"Google are going to have a seriously difficult time trying to rebuild any trust in the Motorola brand," added another.
Although some devices will get the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update, many will not. Motorola updated its upgrade information pages to coincide with its blog and it shows that a good cluster of its hardware releases will stay on Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
While the Razr, WiFi only Xoom and Xoom 2 are already earmarked for upgrades this Summer and beyond, the Atrix MB860 and MB861 are still being evaluated for suitability along with the Xoom with WiFi and 3G. There are 15 devices in the No Upgrade column in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region.
Set to linger on Android 2.3 Gingerbread are the Defy Mini, Defy+ MB526, Fire, Fire XT XT531/XT532, Milestone 2 A953, Motoluxe, and Motorola Pro+. Running behind them, limping away on Android 2.2 Froyo are the Defy MB525, Milestone A853, Pro XT610, Charm MB502, Flipout MB511, and Milestone XT720. Lagging even further behind are the Backflip MB300 and Debt MD200, both of which are stuck on Android 1.5.
In the US the lists are pretty similar, albeit with some different names and more advanced releases, for example the Xoom 3 and Droid 3 are listed as sticking with Android 2.3.
Motorola has provided a full list and timetable for any users that are looking to get mad about their device's upgrade prospects. µ

College Hockey:Santaguida stops 31 as Vermont rallies to tie North Dakota
GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Vermont Catamounts coach Kevin Sneddon knew his 10 freshmen were going to get their feet wet, and then some, in making their debuts in front of sellout crowds at the raucous Ralph Engelstad Arena this weekend.
"I talked to a couple of them this morning, and they don't even remember (Friday's) first period, they were so nervous," Sneddon said.
The Catamounts (0-1-1) got over their nerves and got over a two-goal deficit to salvage a 2-2 tie with North Dakota (1-0-1) Saturday night in front of a crowd of 11,803.
Drake Caggiula had another multi-point night, registering a point and an assist, but ultimately Vermont weathered a first period storm packed with two goals and 14 shots on net and somehow climbed back into the game to stake out a tie.
"Certainly not the start we wanted," Sneddon said. "North Dakota did a great job in the first period of putting us back on our heels. I thought we played very tentative, very nervous. But all the credit goes to them. I thought they did a real good job. It was a great response for us in the second period. I thought we came out with a lot more energy and a lot more resilience. We played relentless."
Caggiula created both first period goals himself. The sophomore linemate made a great play to keep the puck in the offensive zone on a power play, then dished to linemate Rocco Grimaldi to make it 1-0 at 10:58. Then at 19:17, Caggiula finished a rush created by linemate Adam Tambellini, roofing a backhand shot over Mike Santaguida's (31 saves) shoulder for a goal of his own.
Caggiula and Grimaldi made for an electric tandem last season, and that chemistry appeared to build in both Friday and Saturday night's games. The two combined for three of the five goals in Friday night's 5-3 victory, too.
"Rocco and I like to play a little fast; he's a bit, not slower, but more controlled, and it's a good blend," Caggiula said.
That speed continued, but Vermont held them and the rest of North Dakota's speedy forwards off the score sheet the rest of the way. Robert Polesello's goal at 3:34 of the second tilted the ice in the other direction, and despite UND making every attempt to push the lead further, Chris McCarthy's short-handed goal at 17:14 evened it up.
"I thought they had a real good push coming out of the second," said UND coach Dave Hakstol. "I thought that was the best hockey they played throughout the weekend. You know that's coming. We did a pretty good job getting through that rough patch. We turned one puck over at the blue line and that puck ended up in the back of the net. After that, I thought we smoothed things out at 2-1 and then they scored short-handed."
UND had chances to pull away, but instead of the back of the net, UND's offense found the goal post three times down the stretch.
Vermont kept the foot on the gas, peppering Zane Gothberg (25 saves) with 10 shots in the last 20 minutes, but neither team could pot the winning goal, forcing overtime.
Both teams had two shots on goal in the extra five-minute session, but despite rushes in both directions, the game ended with no victor.
Vermont rarely sees ice time in such big arenas, but before returning to the more cozy confines in Hockey East, the Catamounts will play Penn State on Oct. 26 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Sneddon told his guys to appreciate the experience.
"It's a great experience for our guys," Sneddon said. "We played these two games in front of 12,000 fans; our game (in two weeks) is at Wells Fargo Arena in front of 19,000 fans. For those freshmen to get that experience was huge."
North Dakota won the unofficial postgame shootout, 2-1, with Grimaldi and Michael Parks beating Santaguida. Nick Bruneteau tallied the only shootout goal for the Catamounts.

The company battled it out against the ATI Radeon HD 4800 series for a while, but long story short, last September ATI was already shipping brand new parts that were faster and more efficient, while Nvidia wasn't giving out any specific details on Fermi. These new Radeons became the first products to steal the performance crown away from Nvidia in a long time, and they did so in a very convincing fashion.
Nvidia's new Fermi architecture is debuting with the GeForce GTX 480 and GeForce GTX 470 graphics cards. Designed to be the next evolution in GPU computing, we are excited to see what these new boards are capable of, and whether or not they'll be able to bring Nvidia back into the spotlight.
