The Chatsworth-Murray library has an adult collection that includes books, audiobooks, movies, and music CDs.
Books & Audiobooks
The books and audiobooks are divided into fiction, non-fiction, and biography. Each type of books has a different way of being shelved.
New Books
New books, both fiction and non-fiction are kept across from the circulation desk. These are the most recent library purchases and typically check out the most. Books remain here for up to six months. If you don't see your book in the fiction or non-fiction areas, make sure you check in the new book section.
Fiction books are shelved in alphabetical order by author's last name, followed by author's first name. Finally, books by the same author are shelved according to the title.
Non-fiction books and audiobooks are shelved according to the Dewey Decimal System:
- 000 – Computer science, information & general works
- 100 – Philosophy and psychology
- 200 – Religion
- 300 – Social sciences
- 400 – Language
- 500 – Science
- 600 – Technology
- 700 – Arts & recreation
- 800– Literature

Biographies are shelved under B and then the last name of the person the book was written about.
Movies are shelved under video or VHS. The library offers VHS cassettes and DVDs. Fiction will be shelved by the title of the movie, ignoring "a", "an", and "The". Non-fiction will be shelved according to the Dewey Decimal System (see books section for the Dewey Decimal System information).
Magazines are in racks at the entrance with some soft seating available.
Books for Teens and Young Adults
All books designed for young adults and teens are in the adult department or the juvenile department. Ask a librarian for help finding a particular book.

What's your opinion??
Just saw this in a thread on another forum.
If it's true, (and Michel Belanger is quoted) I wonder if they did any real market research before making this leap?
This is a big change! Click and check it out.
UPDATE: Here's the e-mail I just received.
Hi Jud,
Yes, we're currently phasing in 25.5" scale guitars, but we still have some shorter scale guitars in stock.
All Seagull models will eventually have a 25.5" scale.

UPDATE to the last UPDATE:
Hi Jud,
I gave you the wrong info! Parlor and Folk sized models will keep the 24.84" scale.

The 1.8 in nut is what sold me too. I want to get a Maritime in the future but not if the nut width is reduced.
Update on differences between the 25.5 (approximately) Natural Element Gull and the 24.8 (approximately) Entourage Rustic Gull. The difference in .7 inch seems to be made up two ways. The bridge seems to be moved down about .35 inches and the neck is .35 inches longer. The body size is exactly the same when placed back to back.
Read in another forum that someone measured the frets for intonation for the new scale length and they are spot on. I am just using a measuring tape so I am not that accurate. I am also more concerned about not scratching my guitars than being accurate.
Well.....this may be a welcome change on some models. If the longer scale provides for slightly better action and a little more bass response, then I'm all for it. It's great to own/play an instrument that's not a run-of-the-mill guitar...and I think Seagulls have their own identity. They're a great value...and they're made in Canada...and not the Pacific rim...but there's always room for improvement. I look forward to checking out a Peppino model w/ the longer scale.
I did not measure my Natural Elements so thanks Ron. I should since I have a folk and mini jumbo. I do not like this change, I have a smaller hands. However, my NE Mini Jumbo is one of my favorites to play. I would just hate to see a company and brand I love may a decision that can hurt them. They have a good thing going.
Go and measure the scale length of your NE. I got a message saying my NE is 24.84 while I measure it at 25.5.
where exactly does one measure to determine the scale of the guitar?
Here's one pretty clear explanation:
I did nut to 12 fret and nut to saddle on e1. I know it should be nut to saddle averaged between g3 and d4 but my measurements are enough to determine that the Natural Element Seagull is long scale.
One thing more important than the scale is: Seagull now only sells its Artist (high end) series with CW and installed electronics. I do not want to have CW, and even less, ready installed electronics in my guitar. If Seagull doesn't change it's policy in this respect, no more Seagulls.
Harry -
Isn't the Artist Mosaic (dread) still available without QII?
Still on the website - but that may not mean anything... Is it not available without QII anymore?

There are many rules and regulations that you people need to follow to maintain good credit and keep their finances in good order. One piece of advice to those who want to keep a good credit rating is by not closing too many credit card accounts at one time. By closing the wrong credit card accounts, you will interfere with your credit score. But there are occasions where consumers are ready to close out old accounts that are not active. Some people will want to close an account that still maintains a balance in hopes that the closing will help them get a jump ahead on their debts. However, that theory may not make much sense in reality.
So, can your really close a credit card account when your card still contains a balance?
The answer to that question is "not really". While you can close your credit card account against any future purchases, cardholders cannot truly close out an account until the balance is paid in full. Some people will make the mistake of assuming once the account is closed, the credit card company will issue a traditional "final bill" and no additional fees will be incurred. However, that is far from the truth.
Credit card accounts that are closed with a remaining balance are still open to incur late fees and other penalties if you continue to dismiss the balance due. These penalties and fees can quickly add up, turning what once was a relatively small balance into a ridiculously large amount owed to the card issuing bank. Not only will you be responsible for all of the fees incurred, you will also see a dramatic decrease in your credit score.
Pay off the balances on any credit card accounts you wish to close first. It is too easy to forget or put off those small payments, especially if the card account has already been closed. Even though the card might be off of your radar screen, you still risk incurring the additional late and missed payment fees. Additionally, your account will likely be turned over to collections, who can be aggressive in getting the money paid so they can make their commission. It is in your best interest and the best interest of your credit score to pay off balances in full before closing any account.
If you are looking to reduce some of the credit cards you have actively open, you need to consider what damage it can do to your credit and work to make sure you are closing the right accounts. You will want to revisit the terms and conditions of each card and decide which ones to keep by comparing interest rates and other information. As years go by, it is easy to miss opportunities for better rates and rewards programs from another company. If you are closing the account because you are unhappy with the credit card company or the lack of incentives, don't give up hope just yet. Instead, take the time to contact your credit card lender and discuss your dissatisfaction with the present situation. If the lender is reluctant to lose you, this is especially true if you have been an excellent customer in the past, they may be willing to match other offers you have been considering, including lower interest rates, better incentives, or higher credit limits. It doesn't hurt to ask. You may even score a better deal with your current credit card company than you would with a brand new company.

Several hints have appear in regards to some potential announcement involving "GTA 5" in the near future. According to a report from Gamepur on Aug. 8, a YouTuber user going by the alias of "DomisLive" was able to find a source code from the Xbox Live Marketplace that points toward the release date for the new "GTA Online" DLC pack. The expansion is going to launch on Aug. 12.
In related news, the German branch of Amazon also momentary listed a release date for the PS4 and Xbox One ports of "GTA 5." According to VG247, the new versions are expected to launch on Nov. 14, which matches the same day posted by PCGamer. However, Amazon Germany quickly removed any mentioned of the date.
The aforementioned Aug. 12 launch for the new "GTA Online" DLC is going to occur on the same day as the GamesCom press conference held by Sony Computer Entertainment. Rockstar Games could use the media briefing to make several announcements similar to how "GTA 5" was announced for the PS4 during a stage event from Sony at E3 2014. The company is currently working to release multiplayer heists, which have already been delayed multiple times.
The development team is also rumored to be working on several other expansions. For "GTA Online," some players have found evidence that a casino and several other gambling features are going to be added soon. Another recent finding also hinted that some sort of zombie-based DLC pack is also being planned. Rockstar Games already did something similar with the "Undead Nightmare" expansion that came out for "Red Dead Redemption."
The Aug. 12 release could be related to casinos, multiplayer heists or zombie leaks. The same DLC expansions should be added to the upcoming PS4, Xbox One and PC ports as well. With so much content slated for release for the rest of this year, Rockstar Games should be providing updates on the launch plans in the near future. You can find an image showing off "GTA 5" for the PS4, Xbox One and PC located near the top of this article (via the official Twitter account of the Rockstar Games publishing company).

Paragon Magazine Interview with Edward Douglas - October 2003
Ahh, nothing satisfies more this time of year than a good scare, right? We all look for it. for some reason, we purposely seek getting a
little bit of a frightful thrill around Halloween. That's what makes the season so much fun. Well, while you're out this year shopping for your Halloween decorations,
be sure to pick up a CD by Midnight Syndicate. These guys know how to send chills down your spine. And they don't need cheesy, cliche sound effects or twisted
voices to get the job done. They take music to a whole new level. Try listening to a CD of theirs while you're alone in a dark room, or out driving through
some dimly lit backroad. Fun stuff....
Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka, the geniuses behind this extraordinary musical soundscape called Midnight Syndicate know exactly
what they're doing. And because of their love of horror movies and scary stories, they know how to invoke emotions within their listeners tha will leave
you pretty paranoid of the dark. Their music is a favorite this time of year, featured especially at haunted attractions. Some of you have probably
already been to Halloween stores this time of year where a Midnight Syndicate CD was blaring. The music creates the perfect atmosphere to scare the
shit out of someone.
But Midnight Syndicate's music goes beyond just being All Hallow's Eve's soundtrack. Check out their discography. They've got
six albums of terror and imaginary journeys through darkness that'll excited you no matter what time of the year it is.
Paragon got the opportunity to interview Edward Douglas who helped us understand much better how they are able to produce
the music they do consistently. We'd like to think we successfully tapped into Ed's mind just enough to see why he's so great at what he does.
Midnight Syndicate is a very distinctive group, producing "soundtracks for the imagination," that stun and horrify the listener.
How did you guys form Midnight Syndicate, and what gave you the innovative idea to create such unique albums? Who was it that stood up one day and said,
"Lets take some background music, throw in some eerie sound effects, and make people feel as if they are living a horror movie!?"
E: When I developed the idea for Midnight Syndicate in 1991, the goal was to create music that would transport the listener to
a world or movie of their own creation - music that would provide an escape from reality. Originally it was not all dark and orchestral as we've become known for.
The first CD, Midnight Syndicate (1997) was a mixture of rock, rap, industrial, and new age among other styles. All over the place musically and
thematically but tied together by the goal of creating this alternate world. Unfortunately the themes and styles of music were too eclectic and too varied for
the disc to be completely effective. It was after that disc that I decided to do an album with a more focused theme and sound. The dark instrumental tracks
on that first disc were the strongest (and my favorite) so the dark sound of Midnight Syndicate took from there. Additionally, at the time there were no good
Halloween CDs. You had the cruddy $1 sound effect cassettes and the Monster Mash-type compilations but no real good quality, instrumental Halloween music offerings.
We saw it as the perfect avenue to help take our music to the fans without having to rely on traditional methods (like radio, concerts) which we realized
wouldn't work for what we were doing.
It's quite difficult to categorize the work you do, so how would you describe yourselves?
E: Gothic Fantasy Nightmare Soundtracks - I have to include the word "Fantasy" in there now after the Dungeons & Dragons CD which
definitely has more fantasy elements than the more strictly horror-themed discs we've done to this point. The CDs we do blend orchestral instrumental music with
select sound effects designed specifically to immerse the listener in this imaginary world that we try and create.
Obviously, your albums aren't the type that would be found in stores like Sam Goody. Nor are your songs the type that would be heard
on the radio. Where do you want your music to go? Are there any particular audiences or groups of people that you'd like to reach with your music?
E: Our fans are a diverse group. We have a lot of heavy metal and gothic music fans that enjoy our discs. Additionally there are a
lot of Halloween and Horror Movie aficionados and artists in the Haunted Attraction industry that make up a good part of our following.
Have you reached these goals? Where can your music be heard, and where can your albums be purchased?
E: Every year things are getting bigger, which is good to see. Halloween is a big time for us. We've been used on Monday Night
Football and The Today Show during this time of the year. We've also had our music used for Hugh Heffner's Playboy Mansion Halloween parties
and as pre-show music for King Diamond's world tour in 2001. Each year the music is licensed for use in hundreds of haunted attractions worldwide. In
addition to the many great independently operated haunted houses, this year's list includes Universal Studios, Paramount Parks, Six Flags, Sea World, Cedar Faire,
and Busch Gardens. As far as purchasing the CDs, most good Halloween outlets carry our music - the largest being, Spencer Gifts. During the rest of the year,
people can find our discs online as well as through gaming/hobby stores and at Hot Topic stores that have music departments. In 2004 we will be showing up in
more independent record stores as we work to make our music more readily available outside of the Halloween season.
All of your albums delve deeply in the darkest places of the human mind, and evoke some of the most terrifying emotions through the
music and the sound effects within it. You do this in tracks that range from several seconds to a few minutes in length, without the aid of any lyrics, and
hardly any vocals, aside from spoken word verses, correct? How do you produce album after album of such an intense, dark nature? Does dark imagery and sound
appeal to you both? What inspires the music?
E: I think that both Gavin and I have dark sides that we like to explore. For as long as I can remember I've been into ghost stories,
horror movies, and gothic/horror/fantasy imagery. That being the case, when it comes time to express myself artistically, the darker music comes naturally.
We draw inspiration from a lot of sources but mainly from those I just mentioned. I love Hammer horror films, the art of Joseph Vargo, Alchemy, and
Keith Parkinson, as well as Stephen King, Tales from the Crypt comic books, and roleplaying games.
Your albums can also be considered soundtracks to horror movies, and each album has its own unique theme (Vampires, Asylums,
Hauntings, etc.) Are you guys into horror movies and stories? Is your music a sort of release for your imaginations and darkest thoughts?
E: Of all the sources of inspiration, horror films and their scores are probably the biggest for us. John Carpenter, Danny Elfman,
Elliot Goldenthal, Wojciech Kilar, and Hans Zimmer, are just some of the great composers that have had a huge influence on our music. The imagery
and stories that appear in the movies also supplies plenty of ideas. The CDs are definitely releases for our imaginations and the goal is that it will do
the same for our listeners.
Two of your albums, Born of the Night and Realm of Shadows, mention a place called the Dark Tower. Gates of Delirium takes
place at Haverghast Asylum. Tell us more about these places. Where did they come from and what inspired them?
E: All of the albums' settings take place in the fictitious world of Linfaldia which was conceptualized while first putting together
the concept for Midnight Syndicate. The Dark Tower, the setting for Born of the Night, was thought up by Joseph Vargo. A few years later, he even
released a book of short stories called Tales from the Dark Tower which all revolve that setting. The Born of the Night disc and book compliment
each other nicely for a good nighttime read. Realm of Shadows is set in the town of Arcacia which was referenced in several songs on the first
self-titled CD and accompanying live shows. Haverghast Asylum was inspired by turn of the century asylums that Gavin and I toured before beginning writing for
that disc. There's a map in Realm of Shadows and Gates of Delirium that give clues as to how these three places tie into each other.
Who writes the chilling descriptions found on the back of each album?
E: Artist, Joseph Vargo wrote the descriptions for the back Born of the Night and Realm of Shadows as well as the narration
that is performed on those two discs. Since then, it's been me although I called in a writer to help with the Dungeons & Dragons disc. We spend a lot
of time on song titles and the text in the packaging. We try and give enough information to spark the imagination but hopefully not too much as to limit
the listener's interpretation of the CD.
Another great thing about your albums is the artwork. Describe for us the artists that you've worked with, and the art that they
created for your albums. It's important to have art that complements the music, so what do you look for in an artist and his/her work when considering them for
your album art?
E: Well Joseph Vargo was more than just the artist for the first two discs. He was integrally involved with the production of Born of the Night
from its inception to its completion. Not as much musically but as far as developing the cohesive look of the disc, adding the voice-over elements and working
as a kind of Executive Producer. That role carried over to a lesser degree with Realm of Shadows as well. I had originally approached Joseph because I really
liked the traditional gothic styling of his artwork. It helped that he was based in Cleveland too so we could meet in person and work hand-in-hand on the project.
For Gates of Delirium, we wanted to integrate more actual photos on the packaging and offer a different look. Mark Rakocy (who did the design for Midnight
Syndicate) is one of the finest graphic designers and photo manipulators I've ever had the pleasure of working with. The silhouette shot of Gavin and I that he developed
during that period has become the trademark Midnight Syndicate image we still use to this day. When it came time to design the packaging for Vampyre we wanted to go
back to a more traditional feel. Keith Parkinson is, simply put, one of my favorite artists - Gavin's as well. The work he did on the D&D module Temple of Elemental Evil
is a personal favorite and exactly what we were looking for the disc. We knew he could do a tremendous job and he did. I was extremely happy with the end product.
Like Joseph, his style is an excellent reflection of what Midnight Syndicate is all about. For Dungeons & Dragons we ended up using material from all the D&D
rulebooks and accessories. I've always been a huge fan of Dungeons & Dragons artwork so having free reign on that material was fun.
Your latest release, Dungeons and Dragons, is actually a soundtrack for the role-playing game, in addition to being a separate
Midnight Syndicate release. How did this collaboration come about?
E: For years, roleplayers have been using our discs as background for their gaming sessions - especially for the darker-themed games like
Ravenloft, Call of Cthulu, and Vampire: The Masquerade. Support grew to the point that we started setting up at gaming conventions in 2001. It was at our first show
that one of the heads of Wizards of the Coast came up to us and asked if we would be interested in doing a soundtrack specifically for Dungeons & Dragons. Needless
to say we were very excited by the opportunity. Not only were we fans of the game but Dungeons & Dragons sessions often provided inspiration for the music on some
of our other discs. The writing for the D&D disc came very natural and working with the developers at Wizards of the Coast was great.
Tell us about the process you go through when writing the material for your albums. Do you guys work together or separately,
producing your own songs, or helping each other?
E: First we decide upon the setting that we are trying to create and then fill in as many details on that setting as we can. After that
we both go to our own studios and write for the disc. Although we write separately, we continually bounce ideas off each other throughout the process to
make sure that what we are doing is cohesive and on track for the disc. Once all the material is written and arranged we come together and work together on
the mixing and mastering processes.
What instruments do you use to obtain such eerie, deep, and sometimes spine-chilling sounds? How do you choose exactly which sounds to use
at certain times to create the perfect atmosphere within the music?
E: I think instrument choice comes naturally. When you have a specific image or setting that you are writing towards, the sounds and
sometimes even melodies fall in line themselves. Before I begin writing, I pick pictures and images that I feel reflect the world I'm trying to create musically
and keep them near to me in the studio. I think that helps me maintain focus. For the Dungeons & Dragons disc I had the floor covered with D&D module covers
and artwork.
Where do you see Midnight Syndicate going in the future? Are you planning on releasing more albums?
E: Absolutely. Although it may not be released until February of 2005, we are already developing rough ideas for the next disc. It's early
right now but we'll definitely be going back to our more horror-stylings on this one. We plan on taking a little longer with the production and make it something
really special. We both have some ideas already and are looking forward to starting work on that towards the end of this year.
Are you satisfied with how far Midnight Syndicate has come thus far, or are you striving for higher levels of success?
E: I am really happy with our progress so far but know that there's still a lot left to do. Because of our style of music, it is very hard to
tour, or get spins in clubs and radio. As a result, there are still a lot of people out there looking for the kind of music that we do that don't know about
Midnight Syndicate. Fortunately for us, we have some of the greatest fans in the world. Word-of-mouth is critical for us so their spreading the word and turning others
on to what we're doing has allowed us to grow and continue producing CDs. As far as other future plans, I'd like to explore scoring films. I produced an independent
horror film called The Dead Matter in 1996. Scoring the production was the highlight for me. I'm very interested in pursuing that area further although to
this point, our schedule hasn't allowed us to take on any additional projects.
Do you ever perform your music live?
I think the most difficult element to Midnight Syndicate is the fact that, because of our style of music, we can't just walk into a bar or venue,
set up, and start playing. Making personal contact with your fans is really important to an artist and not being able to do that has been very frustrating (especially over
the past three years). Most bands that have been fortunate enough to see sales and support like we have, have already toured the US and Europe. We haven't played
out since before Born of the Night.
We did do a show in March of 1998. It was a multimedia concert to promote the first Midnight Syndicate (self-titled) album. The concert
blended original film, live music, computer animation, and theatrics. It was a very involved and resource-intensive project. So much so that it has really held us
back from developing a new one. We were considering it at the end of 2001 but when we looked at our time schedule we had to chose: develop a show and tour or release a
new CD. We couldn't do both. Needless to say we decided it best to begin writing for Vampyre since it had already almost been a year since Gate of Delirium's
release. Production on Dungeons & Dragons began almost immediately after Vampyre finished.
What are you planning on doing this Halloween? It has to be your favorite holiday!
E: It is. I'll be hitting plenty of haunted houses in our area and renting a ton of horror flicks for midnight viewings. We just had our first
child, Mary Kate, earlier this year so we'll be getting her dressed up and taking her out for her first trick-or-treating adventure.

With Valentine's Day close at hand you're rapidly running out of time to plan that perfect romantic dinner with that someone special in your life. Compounding the problem this year is that Valentine's Day falls on a Friday. Wait much longer, and you might as well pack your own dinner, and hope they let you eat on the restaurant's lawn. Here are some ideas for where to celebrate this Friday, especially chosen to appeal to those of us who love to live green.
1. Earth Bistro in Temecula is a earth friendly dining experience, with a touch of elegance about it. The staff is friendly, and the menu varied enough to meet even the pickiest of standards (even I found some items to love there). Their food is fairly priced as it is, but for Valentines Day they're offering a special that couples will love. Just go to their website, and under the Coupons & Offers button you'll find their V-Day special, offering dinner for two, for only $30.
2. Your next option is also in Temecula, and it's called E.A.T. Now E.A.T. isn't normally open evenings for dinner, but they make exceptions for special occasions such as V-Day. This year they're offering several dish selections (including everything from standard, to veggie, to vegan), but as of this afternoon they only had about 6 openings left for Friday night, so you'll have to act quick. If they can't accommodate you on Friday, don't despair; due to the high demand they've decide to repeat the event on Saturday night as well. This will probably fill up fast too, so get to dialing folks. If it's after hours, you may want to try and send your reservation via e-mail or their message board, as some people seem to have had some success with that (but try the phone first!)
3. In Old Town Temecula you can find the Public House Gastro Pub. They describe their menu selections as being gourmet versions of comfort food. The menu is primarily filled with locally grown and raised food options, and as a bonus, several of those options are organic to boot. They don't offer reservations; so with it being first come/first served, I'd suggest getting there early. Also, remember that this is Old Town, so allow extra time for parking. If you're familiar with where the Old Town Farmer's market is, then you'll have an idea of where I'm talking about. There is always the Old Town parking structure, but be prepared for a bit of a walk.
If all else fails, or you just don't relish the idea of trying out a restaurant on a crowded Valentine's Day, then there's always the old reliable option of cooking a romantic dinner yourself. Many local grocers now offer organic selections in their produce, meat, and dairy departments. Therefore, putting together a eco-friendly, romantic feast shouldn't be that hard. If you want something special, but are not sure what to make, the meat departments at the Farmstead Market in Murrieta, or at Organic Roots Market in Temecula can help with picking out something nice. For those of you who can't cook, or who just don't really want to cook a huge meal on V-Day; Farmstead, Roots, and Sprouts market locations also make pre-made main dishes that you just pop in the oven at home, for that semi-homemade feel. You can always turn to the experts at Cookingchanneltv.com and Foodnetwork.com, where they put together suggestions for special meals like this. For more suggestions I've also attached a video clip on how to put together a romantic meal for two, so make sure to check it out.
No matter where you wind up, it will be special as long as your with that someone you love, you know, just as long as you don't forget the flowers!
Come back next time for more Valentine's ideas for what to do during Valentines' day week as a couple, or for you and the whole family.

Films that focus on historical stories that are a bit out the norm always make for some of the best movies when handled correctly. The latest, The Railway Man stars Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard, Nicole Kidman, and Hiroyuki Sanada to bring together this true story to life, but does it successfully bring it to life and do it justice or is it a piece of history that should have stayed buried?
The Railway Man follows a former British Army officer, who was tormented as a prisoner of war at a Japanese labor camp during World War II, discovers that the man responsible for much of his treatment is still alive and sets out to confront him. The premise alone makes this a compelling film and with this cast involvement there is no reason it shouldn't. Where this film suffers is the pacing as it moves at a snails pace a lot of time. This is sometimes necessary with the story, but had they restructured it a little it would have worked a lot better. The story is told through a series of flashbacks, but as they pull you into the intense situations these men had to endure they jump back to the present. Both aspects of this story are needed to lead to the end game and to see where Firth's character is at emotionally, but just takes some of the effectiveness away. That being said, the film is still good and tells a really emotional tale of suffering, revenge, and torment that could never be understood by those not there. It is no surprise that Firth delivers a great performance having to shift through a wide variety of emotions to bring this character to life. The rest of the cast do a fine job, most notably the always great Hiroyuki Sanada whose role is brief in the film, but powerful. Some of the best and most interesting sequences are those of the flashback scenes involving what the soldiers endured and what they tried to do to survive.
While this film struggles a little bit with the way the film is crafted, make no mistake this is a powerful film dealing with a subject that a lot of soldiers do. The end result and direction of it all not only elevates what came before it in the film but also showcases a closure and sense of hope for humanity.

The Mayfield High and Cleveland State grad is our city's voice in national-magazine racks, a writer for Esquire since 1997, GQ before that.
He doesn't just happen to be from Cleveland, doesn't just drop an occasional burned-river reference. Clevelandness runs deep through his chip-on-shoulder prose and attitude toward famous profile subjects.
"To the extent I am grounded, it helps keep me grounded," he says over lunch with me and his son, Judah. He's in town to promote Real Hollywood Stories, his new collection of 20 celebrity profiles.
"I'm a Clevelander. ... I'm not wowed by your money, I'm not wowed by your beauty, I'm not wowed by your fame," Raab says, describing his approach to writing about Hollywood's biggest names. "Let's drop any pretense of top-down, and let's try to have a real human connection."
So in 1994, when basketball star Dennis Rodman would meet him only at a tattoo parlor — "I wanted to hang out, share his pain, ask him about Madonna" — Raab not only went along, he went under the needle and got Chief Wahoo inked into his forearm.
Raab took Drew Carey to a Los Angeles bowling alley, betting a dollar a pin. To test Carey's hometown loyalty, Raab baited him with a single name: John Elway. Carey snarled hatefully that he still won't perform in Denver out of revenge for the Broncos' 1987 playoff comeback that kept the Browns from the Super Bowl.
"It was just a couple of fat guys from Cleveland, sitting around, still mourning a loss," Raab recalls.
Real Hollywood Stories is filled with Raab's judgments of the celebs he's interviewed, from harsh to admiring.

Most folks looking to date AGAIN are doing so because they have divorced or have become widowed. While as young adults, dating was an ongoing process looking for the right one, now it has become a search for another right one from an entirely different pool of candidates. Back then most of us dated a variety of potential mates until we made our choice. After that commitment, not much was thought about the possibility that we would have to repeat the process. After all, wasn't it until death do us part? Oh, yes, for some it was death that took us apart. In either case, you now find yourself alone, and perhaps even lonely (big difference). You want to venture out and connect with someone on a higher level. Yes, you want to have sexual relations with someone new after 10, 20, 30 and even more years of being with the same person. You may not even want the sexual relations, but the possibility that your new mate just might want to indulge puts you in a state of confusion, anxiety, and basic fear of engagement (not the type that comes with a ring).
There are a few simple steps to dating AGAIN and moving forward.
Step 1 – Meeting Someone
Even meeting someone new can evoke a level of anxiety in those who were never the life of the party. The wallflower may actually remain alone for fear of socializing. This is not good and you really want to work on first getting out and talking with strangers you meet at various venues like the supermarket, museums, coffee shops and of course, online dating services. If your level of anxiety is overwhelming and keeping you as a shut-in, consider getting some professional help with a therapist. Who knows? You might even meet a nice shy mate in the waiting room (go to someone who has a busy practice).
When you analyze the reality of dating anew, the small talk, the meeting over coffee, the phone conversations and even the first date are nothing compared to eventually hopping into bed. This has got to be a stunning step forward into the unknown and actually the known. Yes, you know what's coming (oops, that word).
Step 2 Getting Naked
At this stage in life, getting naked in front of others is not just a natural thing, nor a matter of modesty. The fear of getting naked can actually be paralyzing for some. If under your clothing a Hut lays waiting (what's a Hut – like in Jobba the Hut), you may never want to become involved in a relationship that requires sex. For this you should be upfront and let your date know early-on that you are not looking for a sexual relationship. There are others with the same feelings and you can find them if you let them know that you are looking for a friendship with or without the possibility leading to nakedness.
If you haven't taken care of yourself (eat right and exercise) this may put you at a disadvantage. You may have feelings of embarrassment that actually keep you from seeking a new mate. If you can get past this, you will realize there are others out there who will appreciate your body no matter what the shape. If you still have issues about how you look, you may work toward correcting the situation by diet and exercise. Besides finding a new mate, you will be doing something important for your health.
Step 3 The Nasty – this is an urban word meaning "sex" taught to me by World Heavy Weight Champ, Joe Frasier
The sexual encounter, especially the first one, has got to rank right up there with things that can make you throw up. If you are, or were, a "player" you may actually enjoy the hunt and the kill. If however, you are like most 40, 50 60 or even 70 year old daters, this is not a fun experience. You have the fear of: do you really want to go all the way? Just like when you were a teen, that remains an important question.
For the ladies, you don't want to come off as a slut and for the guys, oh, wait, there is a double standard. You don't want to come off looking like a gigolo. It is important to pace the relationship. The older the generation you come from, the more you want to give the relationship a few dates before becoming intimate. Even if you were from the free love generation, being too promiscuous looks, well, too promiscuous. You have nothing to lose by waiting a few (three to five dates if you really like this person) before engaging in the nasty. Waiting much longer than that or sleeping too early sends the wrong message and if you really like this person, you don't want to scare them off.
Step 4 Managing Anxiety
Beyond the fear of meeting, being naked and finally engaging in sexual behaviors, there is always the performance anxiety issue. This affects both men and women, though men are more at risk because they are required to come to the bedroom with an erection. If he can't bring one along, that's a problem, unless he is dating a severely farsighted lady who might mistake a cucumber for his body part.
Both men and women worry about how good they are in bed when engaging in sexual relations with a new partner. "How will I compare to their other mate?" "How do I compare to their life experiences in bed?"
You certainly want to come off well and the comparison has much to do with who they were with before and how good you can perform under duress. Most people should understand that the first encounter, sexually speaking, may not go well and that is not uncommon. An understanding person will not have an issue with that first time unless they are uncaring.
So now you met, got naked and had sex. The next anxiety is all about "will they call back." And that is another story to be explored next time.

I'm on FreeBSD's csh. I want to form a row with domains of one user and then use this row to filter exim maillog to get only mail from/to this user's domains.
I wrote a script to form a row from a list of DirectAdmin-domains:
list=$(cat /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/$user/domains.list)
domaincount=$(echo $list|wc -w)
echo $list| tr ' ' '|'
Executing this script returns rows with domains like this:
'domain.com' or this:
Now I want to use this as an argument to
grep, but
cat /var/log/exim/mainlog |egrep `/path/to/rowscript`
returns nothing, while replacing manually
/path/to/rowscript with its result returns what I want to see.
Tried to use
grep -E "`/path/to/rowscript`",
egrep '`/path/to/rowscript`'
egrep `/bin/sh /path/to/rowscript`
egrep $(/path/to/rowscript)
getting "Illegal variable name."
etc., but still no luck.
date in backticks works well:
cat /var/log/exim/mainlog | grep `date +%Y-%m-%d`
What am I doing wrong?

BACKGROUND: Non-syndromic hearing loss is the most genetically heterogeneous trait known in humans. To date, 54 loci for autosomal dominant non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (NSSHL) have been identified by linkage analysis. METHODS: In this study a German pedigree has been identified segregating a progressive bilateral loss of lower and middle frequencies. RESULTS: A genome-wide screening and linkage analysis revealed the existence of a new NSSHL locus (DFNA57). The phenotype was mapped to a 10 degrees Mbp interval on chromosome 19p13.2 from 7.8 to 18.2 degrees Mbp, a maximum 2-point LOD score of 3.08 was obtained for the marker D19S586. The region overlaps with the recessive locus DFNB15. CONCLUSION: The results underline the heterogeneity of hereditary hearing disorders. Identification of genes can help to reach a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of hearing.

People are truly mesmerized by twins. And why not? They're cute, miraculous, and just different enough to be special. Since most people do not have first hand experience with twins, they haven't taken the time to learn some simple facts about them. However, a little bit of basic knowledge would go a long way towards preserving the already-fragile sanity of mothers of twins everywhere.
Identical twins do not simply mean they look alike. Identical twins occur when a single egg splits into two. Therefore, these types of twins are an exact genetic match. This means that boy-girl twins cannot be identical. Think about it!
Twins cannot run in the father's family. Identical twins are still considered a random, freak event with no genetic link. Fraternal twins occur when the mother (for a variety of reasons) releases two eggs that are then fertilized, etc. This "extra" ovulation can be caused by many things, including a genetic predisposition, fertility drugs, and age. It cannot be caused, however, by a man. No man is sexy enough to make a woman ovulate twice. Seriously. Not even Taye Diggs, whose lovely wife Idina Menzel delivered their first child, ONE baby, last fall.
As is widely known, many twins (or more) today were conceived via fertility treatments. This could have occurred in one of a few different ways. If the mother was having difficulty ovulating on her own, which is a common problem, she probably took some form of ovulation inducing medication. These drugs can cause the mother to release more than one egg. Then these eggs are fertilized through "normal" intercourse or artificial insemination. Alternatively, some couples have to escalate to in vitro fertilization for a variety of reasons. In this instance, a reproductive endocrinologist will transfer fertilized embryos into the mother's uterus. More than one such embryo can be transferred to increase the likelihood of success and then can proceed to cause a multiple birth. In addition, even if only one embryo was transferred to the uterus, the process can increase the likelihood of the embryo splitting into two, causing identical twins as described above.
With some same sex twins, only a genetic test done after birth can confirm the identical-fraternal debate, if it matters that much to the parents.

In honor of Mother's Day, here's a unique and fun way to surprise mom to celebrate the holiday – bring her to the New York City showing of "Listen To Your Mother." Part of a 32-city series of live staged readings held nationwide, this third annual New York City production features prominent local writers and performers who tell their own tales of motherhood with hilarious and touching insight.
This year's readings feature a diverse cast of influential and accomplished women, including:
- Nadine Baker (Writer)
- Amy Carr (Founder of ShareOurStories)
- Laura Clark (Teacher and Freelance Editor)
- Logan Fisher (Blogger at MuddledMother.org)
- Barbara Herel (Freelance Writer and Improv Mom blogger at Adoptive Families Circle)
- Neil Kramer (Photographer, Screenwriter, Blogger at CitizenOfTheMonth.com)
- Linda Kuriloff (Actress, Author of Linda Means To Wait)
- Ada Maris (Actress, Nickelodeon's The Brothers Garcia, Nurses, Star Trek: Enterprise)
- Doreen Oliver (Writer, Producer, Performer),
- Elizabeth Robinson (Performer, Blogger at 117-hudson)
- Lisa Samet (Writer Wake Up Goldielocks and Corporate Coach)
- Shari Simpson (NickMom Writer, Actress, Blogger at Dusty Earth Mother)
- Kerry Sparks (Author of My Name Is Pabst: Baby Names for Nonconformist Parents of Every Kind and Agent, Levine Greenberg Literary Agency)
- Elise Zealand (Lawyer/Mediator)
Cast member Barbara Herel told the New York Motherhood Examiner what inspired her to be part of this show:
"I first heard about 'Listen To Your Mother' from director Amy Wilson back in 2012 while attending the BlogHer conference in New York City. I thought, 'What a simple and brilliant concept for a show.' Kudos to LTYM creator Ann Imig, I mean, what person alive doesn't have a painfully hilarious, or beautifully poignant, or perfectly heart-crushing story to tell that relates to motherhood?
I have a background in improv/sketch comedy and write a personal parenting blog for Adoptive Families called Improv Mom. But let me stop here and say loudly and clearly: You DO NOT have to be an actor, a blogger or a mom to be cast in LTYM. Our cast is quite an eclectic group of gals – and guy.
My Improv Mom blog chronicles my open adoption relationship with my daughter's birth mom and family. I know open adoption sounds scary and decidedly foreign to people outside of Adoption World. Certainly before my husband and I adopted our daughter, it sounded that way to us. However, very quickly you realize how important it is for your child to know her whole family – adoptive and birth. Family is family is family, regardless of the adjective you put in front of it. So sharing an experience about openness in adoption, the baby steps you take along the way to create this on-going family relationship, is a story I was excited about sharing."
"Listen To Your Mother" is directed by Amy Wilson Amy Wilson (Broadway's The Last Night of Ballyhoo, off-Broadway's Mother Load and The Best of Everything) and Shari Simpson, and produced by Elizabeth Robinson and Holly Rosen Fink and Associate Producer Varda Steinhardt. The production will donate 10% of ticket sales to Women's Prison Association, a non-profit organization committed to helping women with criminal justice histories see new possibilities for themselves and their families.
Listen To Your Mother

Hybrid Cars
I'm fairly convinced that if you need a smallish, not fancy 4- door these days, the hybrids are the way to go, but my skeptical husband is opposed because he says they are significantly more costly, even over the long run, than a basic Honda Civic. He hasn't done the research, though, and I'm not sure I have time to before his current car breaks down for good... Has anyone out there done the math to see whether a Prius or HOnda hybrid is ''worth it'' economically, given that gas is surely going to be well over $2 a gallon going forward (or know of a website that answers this question)? (Of course, I think the hybrids are worth it environmentally, but that's not going to convince him...) Are there tax advantages or state rebates or anything like that to offset the higher cost of the car up front? Thanks for any guidance that might convince a skeptic to go green (or greener)! raissa
Because the tax break is a deduction, its value varies, depending on your tax bracket. If you're in the 33% tax bracket, a $2,000 deduction will reduce your tax bill by as much as $600. If you're in the 15% tax bracket, it could be worth $300.
* You don't have to itemize. Instead, you should claim it as an adjustment to your income. Record the deduction at the bottom of your Form 1040, and write clean fuel on the dotted line.
* The deduction is limited to vehicles that have been certified by the IRS. So far, the IRS has certified the Toyota Prius, the Honda Insight, and Honda Civic Hybrid. R.K.
When we bought it, a Hybrid was about $10K more expensive than a regular Civic, and that's a big difference to make up just through gas money (especially because I suspect service will be more expensive throughout the life of the car). As far as environmental impact, yes, I have gotten an average of 45 mpg, but you'll find you get stellar gas mileage and responsible levels of emissions with *any* small Honda. (My husband's '94 Honda Civic hatchback still gets about 40 mpg.)
As a driver, I find the car very comfortable and well-equipped (although perhaps I think this because I never before had a car with automatic windows or climate control). The back seat is not painful, although certainly not generous in size, and thanks to the electric battery, the trunk is *very* small. It doesn't have the acceleration at high speeds that a sportier car would, but it is still nimble and I don't feel unsafe. We chose a manual transmission, and it has that nice Honda pick-up in low gears. It's fun to drive.
There used to be a federal tax break for buying a clean-air vehicle, but guess which president eliminated it? We just slipped in under the wire by buying in 2003. There are no other governmental advantages that I know of (our governor hasn't yet passed the law that allows hybrids to always use the carpool lane).
So why *did* we buy a Hybrid? We bought with our hearts, and to send the world a
message, and because it just seemed less boring than a regular Civic. If you just
want to be environmentally responsible and save money, you can achieve that with
an ordinary small sedan. On the other hand, I do still enjoy my choice as a symbolic
vote for the environment.
Green Machine
On long trips, it can get 50 mph. Around the city, I find that I get between 32 and 39 mph, depending on various factors.
I test drove the Prius, and for someone as short as I am (5'1''), it had some problems. Most notably, if I had the seat forward enough to drive comfortably, then the left side of the touch screen monitor in the dash was cut off from my view. I also found that too gimicky for my taste. The honda is exactly like your standard civic, except for the hybrid nature of the workings.
In short, I'm thrilled with the Honda and believe we've gotten excellent value for it -- both in gas costs and repairs.
Good luck in making your decision. Laurel
If you have bought a 2003 or 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid, would you please tell me where you bought it and how much you paid? I'm almost sure we want to buy this car (with a manual transmission) but am intimidated by buying a new car from a dealer, and there aren't many used hybrids out there. I have tried to do research online (autobytel, edmunds, consumer reports, kelly blue book, and fighting chance) but am not having much success figuring out what a fair price would be. Thanks! Afraid to Haggle
Many auto dealers are less than truthful about what an amazing deal they're ''giving'' you and most have their scenarios carefully worked out, so don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. You WILL get the car of your choice if you hang in there. Tell them what you're looking for and what you want to pay, and don't hesitate to walk out the door and back to your old car if you don't get it, even if you're being told that this is the last Honda Hybrid in Northern California or some other doubtful story. In fact, if you're buying the car with a spouse or partner or whomever, it's wise to work out your own scenario, such as a prearranged sign or glance that means, ''Let's leave right now.'' Salespeople can recognize a decisive consumer and they want their commission, so make them earn it. Melanie
I'm considering buying a hybrid car and am wondering if anyone has bought outside of CA in order to get it faster? Any idea how long the wait is here and whether there is any negotiating on price? Thanks all! jennifer
After many years as a one-car family, we are now considering a second car. To minimize our resulting environmental impact, the hybrids sound like a good option. Those of you who have the Toyota Prius or the Hnda hybrid - tell me all about it! Is the gas mileage really as good as they say (we'd use it mostly for city driving)? Is it comfortable to drive? Reliable? Good with car-seats? What are the down-sides? Is maintenance expensive? How about insurance (relative to similar size conventional autos)? Any information on your experience would be valued. Thank you two-car family?
Recommendations received:
Everyone I've asked seems to really like the Prius. Does anyone out there have experience with the new 4-door Honda hybrid? Melanie
Our family has been Honda hybridized (2003 model) for the last three months, and we've grown very fond of our vehicle. The mileage is not as good as a Prius might get (we achieve about 38 mpg city--short trips; lots of stop-and-start--and 48 highway), but I think our Honda handles better than the Prius. It's a comfortable, quiet ride, with pretty nice audio, too.
Both are good cars, though, and either one is worth buying. You're paying more than you would for a standard Toyota or Honda, but the mileage, of course, is better, and the emissions much lower. (And as far as I know, there are both federal and state tax credits for buying a hybrid, and this is the year to do so, as the credits will supposedly start decreasing in 2004.) If you can afford the extra bucks now, you're doing a good deed for the environment and a pleasant deed for yourself.
By the way, there's a Honda hybrid owners' chat club on the Internet--and undoubtedly one for Prius drivers as well--full of advice and discussion from enraptured hybrid drivers: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/civic_hybrid/ Melanie

Do you live in North America and want a pink and white 3DS XL? Good news! You can get one. Nintendo stealthily teamed up with Gilt for two limited edition bundles. There wasn't even a press release or announcement, which is crazy because you'd think Nintendo, Gilt or both would have wanted people to know these bundles existed.
As I've mentioned, there are two pink and white 3DS XL bundles and they're pretty similar. Both include the system. Both cost $219.99. The only thing that sets them apart is one comes with Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask and the other comes with Style Savvy: Trendsetters. I'm pretty sure you know now who the target audience is for this promotion. (Hint – It's woman and girls!)
Gilt is a membership-only online store. Apparently, membership is now free though, so that's something. After you make an account, you can buy one (or both) of the bundles. I'd do it quickly though if you're truly interested, as these are both limited edition 3DS XL bundles.
I'd recommend going with the Style Savvy: Trendsetters bundle if you're looking for advice. I received that game as an early birthday gift and it's fantastic. I've played it every day since I got it last Friday. It's just such an amazing shop simulator game.

Geforce 8600 GS in Samsung Sens X65
Posted 26 July 2007 - 08:36 AM
Checking some forums and found it is a know problem, and the solution is to update to the newest nVidia drivers. And then the fun starts...
The official drivers on nVidia's homepage reports it could not find any compatible hardware. And an email to nVidia gave me the following response:
"Display drivers for notebook GPU's are custom made for the notebook make and model they are used in to support some of the hot plug n play features your notebook supports. For this reason, the desktop Forceware display drivers which are available on our website will not work on your notebook. I am sorry, however you will need to visit the website of your laptop manufacturer for customer display drivers for your notebook. "
Okay, so using the Samsung update software, and it found no updates. And I basically cannot locate any laptop specific drivers anywhere. I tried some of the drivers on this site, but got the same error code again, no compatible hardware found
Can anyone help?
Posted 26 July 2007 - 09:56 AM
Posted 26 July 2007 - 10:58 AM
Oh, actually I assumed the modified .inf was included in the driver download from this site. Duh, thanks!
Did you download the modified *.inf and replace it.
I tried again now, replacing the inf, and I now got passed the "did not find any compatible hardware" message. It seemingly installs correctly, but when exciting I get a warning from Vista: "This driver did might not have been installed correctly".
After a reboot I am trying to locate the version number of the driver, which is pretty well hidden. It reports "220.127.116.11" under Display Settings/Advanced Settings/properties/driver, while I installed 9809_vista driver. Hm, the version numbers noes not make sense, so I guess something went wrong..? How to confirm if the driver installed correctly?
Also, after updating the same problem occurs in the GRAW2 game.
Any ideas?
Posted 26 July 2007 - 11:46 AM
Posted 27 July 2007 - 06:46 AM
If the problem persists,try with other driver (insure yourself that is for Vista 32!)
Good luck and sorry about my english!.
Posted 28 July 2007 - 03:47 AM
Thank you! After trying your method with many different drivers, I finally found one that worked: 15615_vista. It installed well, and I verified the version number really changed...
Hi man. Firstly you should uninstall the nvidia drivers of your laptop. So, go to: control panel/programs and features/add remove programs and unistall the nvidia driver. Then reboot your laptop. After that, ignore any warning from Vista,and just go to the driver's folder. Double click in setup.exe and accept in all the screens. Finally you should reboot again. If the warning "This driver did might not have been installed correctly" appear again, just pick in "not, it´s installed correctly" or something like that,I don't use Vista at this moment and not remember exactly.
If the problem persists,try with other driver (insure yourself that is for Vista 32!)
Good luck and sorry about my english!.
Unfortunately it did not solve the stuttering problem I experienced in GRAW2, but at least now I can feel more relaxed I did everything I can do and wait for a patch for the game itself instead... Having the latest driver cant be bad anyway, so thanks again.

Carlton on Breakfast with Hector
2012-06-28 11:00:00
Last weekend Dublin took on Kilkenny in the Leinster Hurling Semi-Final and despite Dublin gaining an early lead they didn't manage to keep up the momentum. Kilkenny were on top form and gained a strong lead on Dublin after two goals in the first half. The Cats eventually beat the Dubs 2-21 to 0-09 and will now go on to play my home county Galway in the Leinster Final.
In Carlton news this week we have been very busy with our Mini Explorers campaign as we continue with the relaunch for the summer. This week we are running a promotion with Hector's Breakfast Show on 2fm, giving away a family break every day on the show. Each day this week we have given away a five night family break worth €1,500 at different Carlton Hotels in Ireland. Plus the week will end with Hector broadcasting live from the Carlton Shearwater Hotel tomorrow where he will be giving away the final family break. If you're in the area make sure to call in for a bit of breakfast as I'm sure there will be plenty to see. I'm not going to make it myself but our Director of Sales & Marketing, Jean O'Connell, will be writing a guest blog tomorrow to fill you in on how it went.
Although they missed out on a Leinster title for Hurling, Dublin will have another chance at the Leinster final as they take on Wexford in the Football Championship on Sunday. My focus on Sunday will be on my adopted county Kildare as they take on Meath. Kildare have been playing well lately and have a strong team this year so I'm hoping they'll be on top form on Sunday as they take on Meath.
Make sure to tune into Hector tomorrow to listen to the live broadcast from the Carlton Shearwater Hotel!

In conjunction with the standard RYA Radar training Allabroad go one stage further with full Marpa training with simulators. Marpa is a great tool but in order to fully understand Marpa we teach manual old school Radar plotting first and then apply that knowledge to our Marpa training sesions. Marpa can be a great tool in thick fog and at night in busy areas where there is more than one target in view at any one time. The Allabroad simulation suite allows you to practice without the risk!
MARPA in more detail...
User selected Targets are initially highlighted on the display with a small box whilst MARPA resolves the relative motion by comparing the relative motion of the target on the screen with the true, actual motion (speed and heading) of the tracking vessel. Once resolved the acquiring box will become either a Circle for safe targets or a triangle for dangerous targets. MARPA can indicate further information with 2 very different but similar looking vectors: True Vectors and Relative Vectors.
True Vectors
True heading and speed of a target can be ascertained with a True Vector, the length of the line indicates the distance the target will actually cover per duration of vector, usually 6 or 3 minutes (this is user selectable) although, range permitting, the 6 minute vectors provide quicker mental calculation of speed. Eg True 6min vector (TV6) of 0.75 NM indicates the target's true speed is 7.5 Knots, the direction of this vector indicates the vessels heading relative to the tracking vessel or its electronically fed heading if one exists.
Relative Vectors
The relative motion of a target can be seen with Relative vectors, these just show the future position of the target on the Radar screen as per Vector Duration, again usually 6 or 3 minutes depending on range in use. A relative vector of 6 minutes (RV6) would be a line representing the movement of the target for the next 6 minutes. Most colour Radar displays can show both TV and RV simultaneously. It is essential that users of MARPA do not confuse RV and TV, especially on Radars that can not display both. True vectors allow users to, at a glance, determine the aspect of a target, something that is virtually impossible to do without manually plotting, Relative vectors provide users with, at a glance, information about which vessels pose a collision risk, a RV pointing at the centre of the Radar screen indicates there is a risk of collision.
All the information pertaining to a target is also available numerically however when tracking multiple targets this information distracts the user from the image, and with proper training, viewing vectors is much safer.

After Boston and Butte, Montana (trust us), New York might be the most St. Patrick-ingnest city in the country. "I'm beginning to think you do St. Patrick's Day better than we do," says Tullamore Dew brand ambassador Tim Herlihy.
So there's no shortage of spots for you to get your Green on this weekend, or on March 17 when the big day actually takes place this year. Still, it's nice to know what options are out there beyond your corner bar, so we've rounded up a bunch:
Innis & Gunn Irish Whiskey Cask Stout: You could go the traditional route, ordering Guinness or Harp or (shudder) green beer. Or you could hunt down this innovative stout made with Scottish malts, roasted barley and Super Styrian hops, then aged with whiskey-infused oak chips in I&G's signature "Oakerator." You can buy cans at the store, or find it on tap at St. Andrews (140 W 46th St), Highlands (150 West 10th St) and The Ginger Man (11 E 36th St).
Astoria Whiskey Society St. Patrick's Day Tasting: Well, it's on Sunday, March 16 but this devoted and casual collective of whiskey fans meet once a month. This time it was a no-brainer to team with Tullamore Dew for a St. Patrick's Day blowout at Hell Gate Tiki. AWS members will start with a VIP tasting of the Tullamore Dew portfolio. They'll then be joined by general revelers for $3 Tullamore Dew shots and $6 Luck of the Irish cocktails while enjoying live cocktails and an Irish BBQ from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Space is limited for the free VIP event so an RSVP (and free AWS membership) is required. 12-21 Astoria Blvd, 718.204.8313 hellgatetiki.com For the VIP event, astoriawhiskeysociety.com
Louro: This West Village contemporary American spot might not pop into your head for St. Patrick's Day, but chef David Santos is taking advantage of the date landing during his weekly Monday Night Supper Clubs. On the 17th he'll present an Irish-inspired meal with dishes like shepherd's pie with braised lamb and potato foam, Dublin Coddle, Irish whiskey and cheddar soup, his interpretation of corned beef and an Irish coffee dessert. It's BYO on wine and beer, but Louro's bar is always open. 142 W 10th St (between Greenwich and Waverly), 212.206.0606, louronyc.com/march-17
STK: If Irish whiskey isn't your thing, consider the Green Intensity served up at both NYC locations of this sleek steakhouse/nightclub combo. Made with Absolut Elyx, simple syrup, lime juice, basil and jalapeño, the vibrant green drink will still get you singin' "Danny Boy" throughout the night. Pair with STK's insanely good bread with chive oil and you've got the night covered. 1114 Avenue of the Americas (646.624.2455) or 26 Little West 12th St (646.624.2444) togrp.com/togrp-stk
Virgil's Real Barbecue: The Times Square classic BBQ spot will be ready for the chaos with a special cocktail. The Left Handed Cherry Bomb is made with Left Hand Brewing Co's Stout, Bailey's Irish Cream, Jameson and topped off with a cherry. 152 W 44th St (between 6th and 7th Aves), 212.921.9494, virgilsbbq.com
Lexington Brass: This gem of a restaurant located, unexpectedly, in Midtown East, is serving up an unusual dessert treat for St. Patrick's Day. The Irish Cereal Milk consists of Jameson, simple syrup, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch milk. That is, milk that's been soaked in the revered kid's sugar cereal. The whole thing is topped with fresh, crunchy Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal bits and a cinnamon stick. Because, why not? 517 Lexington Avenue (at 48th St), 212.392.5976, emmgrp.com/restaurants
Four Points by Sheraton Hotels: From 5 p.m. through 11 p.m. on St. Patrick's Day, you'll find special offerings. The new 312 Urban Pale Ale from Goose Island (the brand's first national Pale Ale release) along with signature seasonal Best Brews will be on tap. And at the Four Points Manhattan Chelsea location (160 W 25th St), you'll find traditional Irish meals served all day long at the Westside Brewhouse. Options include corned beef with cabbage and potatoes, shepherd's pie, Jameson's whiskey fish and chips, and specials on shots of Jameson and pints of Guinness. Bartenders at all three locations will be wearing Four Points St. Patrick's Day rugby shirts, and there will be plenty of big screens with big games. Multiple locations around town.

Second eavesdropping bug is found in Google Chrome
Unplug your mic and put tape over your webcam
A SECURITY BLOGGER has discovered a flaw in Google Chrome that allows attackers to turn any victim's machine into a listening post.
A blogger named Guya explained that a deprecated speech API known as "x-webkit-speech" can be harnessed to run in the background without any indication to the end user that their microphone is on. His blog post includes a video that demonstrates the flaw, which you can view below.
A developer simply needs to add a single line of code to a website to exploit the bug and gain access to an audio feed of the victim's environment.
As Guya explained, "There is absolutely no indication that anything is going on. There are no other windows or tabs, and [not] some kind of hidden popup or pop-under. The user will never know this website is eavesdropping."
Any on-screen indication or windows can be set to appear on the edge of the screen or covered with images or other page elements.
Guya has reported the problem to Google, which has yet to comment. However, this is not the first time this year that an eavesdropping issue has been reported in Google Chrome.
In January another blogger named Talater revealed that he had reported a similar issue to Google the previous September, and despite having been advised of a patch within four days the exploit was still functional four months later.
Around the same time, Google removed several extensions from its Chrome Store because of concerns about malware.
Despite these flaws, Chrome recently overtook Firefox to become the second most popular web browser in the world. µ

Li Na's U.S. Open Run Ends
It took 38 minutes before China's Li Na held serve for the first time in her U.S. Open semifinal match on Friday afternoon. Standing across the net was the No.-1 player in the world, Serena Williams, who was in the midst of a streak of 24 consecutive games won. Prior to Li's service hold to even the second set at 1-all, Williams had won the first seven games of the match. "Finally I can play tennis," the 31-year-old Li said after the match about the second set.
In Li's lone win against Williams in nine prior matches (Stuttgart, 2008) , she lost the first set 0-6, before rallying 6-1, 6-4. But there was little Li could do on Friday to stop the momentum Williams has built during her U.S. Open roll.
The No. 5-seed Li broke Williams's serve in the subsequent game but dropped five of the last six games of the match, to fall 0-6, 3-6.
The match's most dramatic moments occurred in Li's service game during the second-to-last game of the second set. Li saved six match points in a game that lasted nearly 14 minutes. Li finally held serve but Williams ended the match a few minutes later with a 107 mph serve that Li hit into the bottom of the net.
Li acknowledged in her post-match news conference that she was unable to relax during the beginning the match. "I mean, should not be like nervous because not first time to play semis. But when I walk to the court I was feeling the court so big."
Li, the first Chinese player to reach the U.S. Open semifinals, said her run in New York was "pretty good."
Williams advances to the final on Sunday, where she'll play No. 2-seed Victoria Azarenka, who beat Flavia Pennetta in Friday's other semifinal.

The only way the Angelic Human Races can be saved is through a shift in time into a new Cosmic Matrix. Our Starry Families have been working on this plan for millions of years, and continue to modify the needed plans day by day to achieve the success of their plan. The Zetas and Draconians have continuously tried to sabotage this plan. The Earth would had been obliterated three times this year already if it hadn't been for their continuous moving us forward in time and counteracting their Darkness with Light.
This is entire process will be completed through the direction of Sun Ra - The Ra Confederacy will remove all that is not in atunement with the Law of One. The Law of One has every thing to do with spinning into Oneness with Source. We have been given the tool of the Merkaba to spin at the speed of Divine Love the Clock wise Electric and the Counter-Clockwise Magnetic fields in the appropriate spin ratios. This balance that will be achieved as the harmonic universe one spins into at one ment with harmonic universe two will transform Earth into Tara.
On December 21, 2012 Earth's angular rotation of particle spin will shift 45 degrees and aligns into oneness with Inner Earth and Tara. Earth's fastest particles begin to transfer to hyperspace and the halls of records begin transmitting data through the Earth's grids. Universal memory will begin transmission through planetary grids. That shift will move us through time about 4000 years. The shift will then balance out to about 23 degrees, which will align Earth into At One Ment with Inner Earth, and then we will begin balancing into the new reality of a new time of about 2000 years. It will be the first pull into the future that will appear as darkness to the 3D perception. That darkness is equivalent to the darkness that appears as ante-matter or spiritual substance that we may create our new reality upon. We see ourselves in our blue body at this time created as an immortal being in a more etheric form included within a Divine Template of Immortality. The darkness is the prime time to make dreams come true. We create through the mid brain frequency specific atunement with Source Consciousness. We create by knowing that we are now and always have been this perfect self who can manifest anything the heart desires. We can know at that point in time that you have always been wealthy. We have always been healthy. We have always been the Christ Consciousness of the All Knowing Mind of God.
May 5th will begin the AWAKENING on Earth.
The more we gain our frequency specific mid brain connecting into the mind of God through our Soul, we connect to the Source field when anything we desire already exists. We inhale that reality into our mid brain and project into our holographic realm. We make Gods movie on Earth. We create heaven on Earth.
First, on May 5th, a 12th level avatar will be born on Earth which will open the Sphere of Amenti to cause the carbon based death seal of 666 to be removed from the human race. This carbon based inorganic seal will melt away and we will begin our awakening into the crystal based organic eternal life bodies. A spontaneous MASS AWAKENING WILL OCCUR on May 5. The Blue Flame of Amenti will embody within the Blue Flame Keepers.
