How best to learn manual transmission shifting?
How quickly should I be able to learn to drive a manual transmission vehicle well enough to manage some tricky conditions (large van, driving from Berlin to Brussels)? What are some tips and tricks? How often (and in what conditions) should I be practicing before I get there? Tips specific to German driving are welcome too. [more inside]
Why is my gear stick/stick shift wobbling and stuck in 2nd gear?
I was stop and go driving for about an hour today (hanging flyers for my job; the car's a manual transmission '95 Saturn) and after I finished I was heading back to the store when I hear a pop and my stick shift is just wobbling around. I still have to hold the clutch to start the car but it is stuck in second gear so I can get it going but only drive 10-15mph. What in the hell just happened?

Published trial data suggests Novo Nordisk's type 2 diabetes candidate, liraglutide, is better at lowering HbA1c levels than Byetta® (exenatide), the GLP-1 receptor agonist marketed by Eli Lilly and Amylin Pharmaceuticals. Liraglutide has been recommended for approval by the European Medicines Agency's CHMP, and was submitted for approval in the U.S. and Japan during 2008.
The study, one of a number of LEAD trials evaluating liraglutide, included 464 patients with type 2 diabetes who were not reaching recommended sugar targets on either the maximum tolerated dose of metformin, sylphonylurea, or both. The trial data is reported in The Lancet.
Data from the LEAD™ (liraglutide effect and action in diabetes) 6 study, which directly compared the effects of twice-daily treatment with exenatide and once-daily liraglutide, showed treatment with the GLP-1 analogue, liraglutide, led to a 1.2% drop in HbA1c levels, while exenatide therapy lowered HbA1c by 0.79% drop in HbA1c. The investigational drug was also significantly better at lowering fasting plasma glucose levels than exenatide.
"Because of the differences in how the body absorbs and eliminates these two compounds, we were very interested to see if there were clinically meaningful differences in the effect in people with diabetes", comments principal study investigator, John Buse, M.D., chief of endocrinology and director of the Diabetes Care Center at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. "The clinical benefits that liraglutide provides, from greater glucose lowering to weight loss to better tolerability and improvements in beta-cell function, represent a clinically meaningful treatment advance for patients with type 2 diabetes.
Byetta, the twice-daily formulation of exenatide, was jointly developed and commercialized by Lilly and Amylin Pharmaceuticals. The drug was approved in the U.S. in 2005 and in the EU the following year. Amylin and Lilly have also collaborated with Alkermes to develop a once-weekly formulation of the drug, which was submitted to the FDA for approval in May 2009.
Amylin reported net sales of Byetta were $678.5 million in 2008, compared with $636 million in 2007. Prescriptions for the drug took a dip during the second half of 2008, following the FDA's update of a prior pancreatitis alert, but Amylin said this decline stabilized by the end of Q4 2008. Lilly reported worldwide sales of Byetta were $751.4 million in 2008 up 16% over the previous year, with its revenues increasing 20%, to $396.1 million.
Under terms of the exenatide development and commercialization agreement between Lilly and Amylin, signed in 2002, the companies are sharing the U.S. development and commercialization costs of exenatide formulations and also development costs outside the U.S. Lilly is responsible for commercialization costs in non-U.S. markets. The companies are also equally sharing operating profits from exenatide products sold in the U.S., with Amylin receiving royalties on non-U.S. product sales.

My Fedora 9 system is partitioned as follows.
/dev/sda5 Swap Partition
/dev/sda6 Mounted as /boot
/dev/sda7 Mounted as /
It works fine, no problems.
In addition, I have data on /dev/sda1 and I want to mount this
partition on my file system. I added the following line at the end of
/dev/sda1 /mnt ext3 defaults 1 2 # just testing with /mnt
When I reboot the system, it works, the data on /dev/sda1 is visible
under /mnt. The problem is that this is only a test, I really want to
mount /dev/sda1 on /var/ftp/pub/fedora, not /mnt. This directory
chain exists. Therefore, I changed the previously added line in
/etc/fstab to:
/dev/sda1 /var/ftp/pub/fedora ext3 defaults 1 2 # this is what I want
This time when I reboot the system the partition is not mounted. I
can easily see this by running "# mount". The unusual thing is if I
now run "# mount /dev/sda1" the mount command reads fstab and mounts
/dev/sda1 on /var/ftp/pub/fedora. I don't understand why the entry in
fstab doesn't do the mount when the system is started. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
Here is some additional information.
1. Fedora 9 is installed on an external USB hard drive. My BIOS
allows booting from it.
2. When I installed Fedora 9 I used fdisk on the live CD to do the
partitioning on the USB drive. The USB disk appeared as sdb and the
computer's internal drive was sda. I also used the live CD to do the
install on the USB hard drive.
3. After the install was complete and Fedora 9 was booted, the drive
letters were reversed, sda is now the Fedora 9 OS and sdb is the
computer's internal hard drive.
4. Grub was properly installed on the USB hard drive.
5. It all works except for the mounting problem.
Thank you,
Joe Hesse

A year ago Ray Smith felt like his team just ran into the wrong guy in the first round of the PSAL playoffs.
New Dorp had the 13th seed and a home game in the PSAL playoffs after finishing second on Staten Island, but could do nothing against No. 20 Long Island City's Cristian Guerrero in a 5-2 loss.
Top pitchers can turn the first round of the city playoffs into a crapshoot, making lower-seeded teams look much better when they're on the mound. Is a team a few games over .500 because they have a few solid pitchers or one ace and not much else? It's in those mid-bracket games where you can never really tell what you're going to get.
That's the kind of game in which New Dorp, making its fifth straight playoff appearance and its seventh in the last eight years, usually finds itself.
This time the Central Cougars are in the opposite spot as a year ago after finishing tied for third place on Staten Island with MSIT and winning a tiebreaker and a slightly higher seed than the Sea Gulls by taking the season series 2-1. New Dorp is No. 19 and will play No. 14 HS for Construction, which finished in a three-way tie for first place in the Queens West division with John Adams and Newtown at 12-4.
"I'm expecting to see good pitching from them," said Smith. "I know they played in a tough division and they won 12 games in their division."
Smith believes he's got the pitcher to do the job. A year ago Justin Pedone lost that first-round game, sabotaged by a fly ball lost in the fog and an infield error. Pedone won four games for the 11-7 Central Cougars with a 1.43 ERA in league play according to PSAL.org.
Pedone struck out 65 in just 39 2/3 innings, but also walked 32. All those walks and strikeouts pump up pitch counts and that has kept Pedone from finishing games.
"We're going to throw our ace Justin Pedone and hope that he keeps his pitch count down and throws strikes," said Smith. "I think Justin can keep us in the game against anybody."
The Cougars are trying to break past a stubborn stumbling block. They've won just one playoff game in their last eight appearances, that in 2012.
"For us traditionally the first round has been a crutch," said Smith. "We just can't get past the first round. If you have two good pitchers and I think we do you get into that second round anything can happen. You see that team's No. 2 and you don't know what they have."
If the Cougars can get to the second round, they might have the No. 2 in Richie Hatton to keep Cinderella playing past midnight.
"It's a fun time of the year," said Smith. "You're always thinking upset. That's why you play."

Photographers Petition Adobe to "Restart Development" for CS7
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania-based photographer Derek Schoffstall has started a petition urging Adobe to "restart development for Adobe Creative Suite 7," following the company's announcement that it had "no plans for future releases of Creative Suite or other CS products." Adobe has already decided that the newest iteration of Photoshop - called Adobe Photoshop CC - will be available exclusively to Creative Cloud members (although it did add that "Creative Suite 6 products will continue to be supported and available for purchase"). The petition, which has already been signed by more than 1500 photographers from around the world, argues that customers ought to "have a choice between either CC or the creative suite."

Yeah right. Like Adobe's gonna listen...
M., Adobe is going to listen because this is a gargantuan can of expensive worms. There's already those now trying to the Federal Government to looking into them using their monopoly against consumers. People are looking into class action lawsuits. In only a day or two, the petition has already grown to thousands of people and it's growing rapidly as we speak.
Adobe has made a huge mistake. It's time for the Adobe CEO to step down. Shantanu Narayen needs to resign for this blunder ASAP.
You see, real professionals want control over their machines and the apps that run on them. Real professionals know what's going on with their machines to keep their own data and their client's data they have on their machines secure.
Other professionals and myself (testing it on a non-production computer) have already witnessed Creative Cloud phoning home more than Adobe claims it does. There has even already been premature subscription shutdowns in the middle of the month that stopped the entire workflow until it was addressed.
Are you a professional? You may think so, but I sure as hell wouldn't want MY client's data on your computer. I would never work with someone who put's my client's data at risk because they don't have command over their own security.
What about when Adobe's Creative Cloud is hacked and people can't get access to their apps and files once the subscription is up? How long before the subscription service protocol is hacked and hackers can disable your Creative Cloud apps remotely? Not long.
This is why this is a horrible idea for customers, but great for Adobe to price gouge its captive customers (cough! " subscribers") down the road.
Adobe is just another huge corporation that doesn't want American small businesses to own the products they buy.
This won't stop piracy, instead it will hurt the paying customers. The irony will be that some of the pirated versions of Creative Cloud will be safer to use than the legit version because the pirated version won't have a gaping hole in your computer to contact Adobe's servers or even hacker's servers who exploit the hole.
Government and businesses with high value sensitive data will need to hack their own CC apps to make them secure. Will Adobe sue these entities with a DMCA attack?
Get your head out of Adobe's FUD and look around...
It's the professional thing to do.
I totally agree with Carl. This is blatant arrogance from Adobe . It is reminiscent of the way Quark Xpress treated their customers some years ago and, as a result, they lost their dominance of the market. Photographers do not want their stuff to be controlled 'in the cloud' they want to control it themselves and know where they can find it. A major, major error this Mr Adobe. Alienating your customers? Who taught you your marketing skills?
Of course one can sympathise with adobe over piracy but 90% of piracy is by users who would never buy a full copy anyway - putting apps in the cloud may stop them but my betting is they won't sell one more subscription as a result.
So only legit users will be inconvenienced - own goal adobe.
Why we can't donate to Gimp, just "to make it better" ?
Will I have to wait six months untill I am home from the artic shoot in 2017 to do my editing. god my down times going to be wasted.

Our Mission
Bible Voice Broadcasting aims to proclaim God's Word to those who have never heard the Good News of Jesus Christ, to teach the Word of God and encourage Christian listeners throughout the world. From powerful radio stations Bible Voice Broadcasting can reach countries that are subject to political control and are closed to the Word of God, as well as isolated communities where there are no churches or missionaries. With short wave radio as our main medium, Bible Voice Broadcasting is committed to communicating hope, healing and salvation to all the nations of the world on its worldwide broadcasting network.
Wherever possible we support indigenous broadcasters those who can speak the language and understand the cultural nuances that make programming effective into a target area. We also air English programs into regions where it would be a second language to many, but encourage programmers to be culturally relevant and sensitive.
We make strategic use of various means of mass communication to fulfil our mission - shortwave and local FM radio, the internet, distribution of Bibles, books, videos, tapes, and other literature. Sometimes we are called on to meet human needs. Although not formally an oganization, there are times when physical needs are open doors to deeper spiritual ministry opportunities, and throughout its history the ministry has provided food, medical care and equipment, clothes, audio-visual equipment, blankets, toys, Christian libraries, Bibles, eyeglasses and orphan care to thousands.

With the low price of flash-mem and maturity of mp3, I'm
surprised that 'talking books' are not commonly available

Syncronising the 'writing with the sound' would also be

Perhaps even minimal cartoon-like graphics for stories

Who knows about the Blackfin CPU from Analog devices ?

In order to comply with recent EU legislation, UK copyright legislation is changing in some important respects from 31 October 2003.
All copying for commercial purposes from works in copyright now requires permission or must be done under licence. This invariably means payment of a fee.
This change applies to both published and unpublished works (unpublished works includes manuscripts and theses).
Most of the copying undertaken by University staff and students is not for a commercial purpose and the impact of this change is likely, therefore, to be limited. However, it may have implications for some researchers, depending on the nature and purpose of their funding; for staff working on publications which subsequently give rise to royalty fee income and for commercial ventures with which the University is associated.
- Copying for your personal use
- Copying for your students
- Requesting photocopies from the Library
- What is a 'commercial' purpose?
- Further information
Copying for your personal use
Up until now, it has been possible to undertake limited copying from works in copyright for personal use for the purposes of research or private study.
From 31 October 2003, such copying must only be "for the purposes of research for a non-commercial purpose ." or "for the purposes of private study". "Private study" does not include any study which is directly or indirectly for a commercial purpose.
University staff, and students on credit bearing courses, can also copy for their personal use under the University's licence with the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA).
At the moment, it is not entirely clear whether copying which could be regarded as having a 'commercial' purpose is covered by this licence. In any event, please note that all copying under the licence must be within the limits allowed by the licence, the publisher must be covered by the licence, any copies made must not be distributed to anyone other than another University staff member or student and copies may not be sold (although the direct cost of making a copy for another University staff member or student can be recovered from the recipient).
Further information about the CLA licence is available.
Copying for your students
Multiple copying for students on credit bearing courses is covered by the University's licence with the CLA and is not affected. As noted above, you must remain within the terms of the licence.
Requesting photocopies from the Library
The Library provides University staff and students with photocopies of articles from journals not available in the Library on request. From 31 October 2003, such photocopies can be supplied without payment of a copyright fee provided they are for research for a non-commercial purpose or private study.
The law requires the Library to ensure that you sign a declaration to this effect.
If the photocopy you require is for a commercial purpose, you must state this when you make the request. The Library will then attempt to obtain a copyright fee paid copy. The Library will cover the additional cost of doing this - but please note that this policy is subject to review (copyright fees range from around £5 per photocopy upwards).
What is a 'commercial' purpose?
It is your responsibility to decide whether a photocopy that you make, or request, is for a commercial or a non-commercial purpose.
Unfortunately, the legislation does not define a 'commercial' purpose. The following guidance is based on information from the British Library Copyright Office and other established authorities. However, please note that this guidance cannot be regarded as formal legal advice.
- 'commercial' is in practice synonymous with directly or indirectly income-generating (and, therefore, has a broader meaning than profit-making)
- it is your intention at the time of making or requesting a copy that counts in deciding whether it is for a commercial purpose - not a later, originally unforeseen, use that you make of the copy
- the fact that you work for a non-profit making organisation (such as a University) does not mean that all copies that you make or request are, as a consequence, for a non-commercial purpose
The following are examples of what could be considered a 'commercial' purpose.
- Work done for a spin-off company owned by the University or a charity, even if all profits are covenanted to the University or the charity.
- Work done in drafting a book, book chapter, or an article for a scholarly journal for which the author will be paid or receive royalties.
- Work done in preparation for a conference speech for which the speaker will be paid, over and above expenses.
- Research undertaken or contracted-out by a commercial company in support of its commercial activities.
- Market research or competitor intelligence in all organisations.
- Searching for legislation and regulations for a commercial company.
- Research whose results will be passed to a commercial company for commercial use.
- Work done to assist in private medicine.
- Work done by an information broker for clients.
Further information
Further information about copyright is available.

Happy new year everyone!
NP: Moby – Jam for the Ladies (Nevins Club Blaster mix)
Since it's already that time of the year again, merry Christmas everyone! I hope you're able to spend the holidays with the ones you love and enjoy a merry, merry Christmas! Have fun everyone!
BTW: Am I the only one who really hates this freakin' "Last Christmas"-song by WHAM!? Why the heck do the radio stations here in Germany have to have this crap on A-rotation every end of the year? This year I really tried to avoid this song by not hearing radio or watching music television. But I made a major mistake: I went to the Christmas fair… guess what the first song was, I heard when I arrived? Thank god there was enough mulled wine around to ease my pain

Since I received a terrifying amount of insults via mail for not implementing this feature request after my last blog entry, where I asked for help developing rng, I'd like to make my position about this issue clear.
Why I was opposed to implement it:
However, I agree that the stuff in /usr/share/bug isn't completely useless. The opposite is true, it makes the life of maintainers easier and rng should make use of it where possible.
So what can we do now? Maybe we can start all over and discuss this issue in a more friendly and constructive way?
Here's my offer: rng will support bugscripts, but it will not feature a terminal popping up asking a user questions. I'm developing a GUI application and a popping up terminal is not very GUI'ish for me. What can we do about this? Is there a way to implement this?
Supporting presubj might be okay too, but I don't want rng to be annoying. Popups are annoying and having to read the same stuff again and again when reporting multiple times on the same package is annoying too. Maybe rng could spawn a pop up with a checkbox "Don't show this text again when reporting a bug against this package"? Maybe we could have an option in the (not yet implemented) preferences window where we could suppress those messages completely?
And please, don't use abusive language or even insults when contacting me about this issue. My rng-time is currently very limited and my motivation to work especially on this issue is already very low. We're speaking here about a fully optional feature. Providing the output of some scripts or having to read a presubj is helpful, but not mandatory when reporting a bug. So please, be nice! I really don't need all that stress right now.
Is anyone out there interested in helping me developing reportbug-ng? I'm currently very busy with my diploma thesis and can't spend as much time on my pet bug reporting tool as I'd like to spend. The package itself has some small bugs, is not yet feature complete, but in a fairly good shape and quite popular too.
If you're interested you should have experience with python, QT and maybe some SOAP-skills. You don't have to be a Debian Developer or -Maintainer!
I haven't done this before so I don't know that the best practice for such a situation is. I'm currently thinking of something like:
Interested? Then write me a mail to: venthur at debian org.
Oh, and please don't write if you just want to get your pet-bug-which-I-still-refuse-to-fix fixed.
PS: If you prefer guys over chicks, you're welcome too
Dear Lazyweb,
I'm happily using the win32-loader from goodbye-microsoft.com to install Debian/Etch on several Lenovo X61s subnotebooks which don't have a DVD drive but a running XP preinstalled. The installer correctly detects a 64bit architecture and therefore installs AMD64. Unfortunately I want to run i386 on those machines. Is there a way to force a specific arch for the win32-loader?
Edit: Of course I already tried to install Debian from an USB stick on those machines, but the Debian installer refuses to work at the point where it's unable to find the DVD/CD drive on the subnotebooks without one. I've tried netinst and businesscard, none of them worked from USB for me. Any hints?

- You can change the beneficiary if your circumstances change.
Click here to learn more about this option.
Gifts Through Your Life Insurance Plan
Donating your life insurance could be a wonderful way to fulfill your desire to support our work. By making Franklin College the beneficiary of an existing policy, you make good use of your resources and expand your ability to make a significant gift.
Franklin College accepts gifts of life insurance either as the beneficiary of a policy or as the sole owner and sole beneficiary.
Designating the College as a Beneficiary of an Insurance Policy
You can name Franklin College as primary beneficiary of your life insurance policy or as contingent beneficiary should your other beneficiaries not survive you. After your lifetime, the benefits from your policy pass to us free of federal estate tax.
- Personal Satisfaction – In completing your estate plan and providing for the people and charities that matter most to you.
- Easy to Give – Involves little effort or paperwork.
- Financial Advantage – Continued ownership of your policy.
- Freedom and Flexibility – You can change your mind and your beneficiaries at any time.

- Changing your beneficiaries is easy. Simply contact your insurance carrier and request a beneficiary form.
Years ago, Jason bought a life insurance policy to protect his family. His family no longer needs this protection and he decides to name Franklin College as the beneficiary of the policy. After Jason's lifetime, the policy benefits will come to us to further our work.
Making an Outright Gift of a Paid-up Insurance Policy
You can donate your paid-up life insurance policy to the College. If the policy has a cash value, we would have the option of either holding the policy until the maturity date or surrendering the policy in order to receive the policy's current cash value.
- Income Tax Savings – Claim an income tax deduction.
- Future Tax Savings – Removes the asset from your potential gross taxable estate.
- Leave a Legacy – Your gift will ensure support for future generations of Franklin College students.
Jane bought a life insurance policy years ago that she now wants to donate to Franklin College. Since she gave the policy to us, Jane can claim an income tax charitable deduction. The total amount of the policy is removed from her estate, and we will use the gift to further our mission.

Acer Aspire One 531
Average of 12 scores (from 14 reviews)
Reviews for the Acer Aspire One 531
Heir to the Throne? Acer already landed a direct hit with the first Aspire One A110, which became the best-selling netbook of 2008. As these tiny devices have provided a proper boost to the balances of many manufacturers in such a short time it is no surprise that Acer also wants to see other models meet the same success of the A110 with future models. Following the Aspire One D150, the Taiwanese manufacturer brings another compact 10-incher onto the market with the Aspire One 531.
Source: PC Advisor
The original Acer Aspire One has proved one of the best selling netbooks, we hear, helped along by its competitive price circa-£200. That first model had a 9in screen and ran a friendly graphical Linux operating system; now we find Acer has kept the bankable Aspire One name and followed the crowd with a 10in Windows XP mini laptop. Unlike the original Aspire One, there's less to get excited about by this me-too Windows netbook. But while it offers the usual roster of netbook facilities, there is the just-higher than average netbook speed performance, and the distinction of two memory card slots. Battery life is good too.

Acer's Aspire One 531 keeps the netbook ticking over nicely. Acer has led the way at the budget end of the netbook market, but there's little to distinguish its more expensive offerings. The Aspire One 531 looks set to change this, offering a desirable design and good quality. Although the Aspire One 531 doesn't significantly move the netbook market on any further, it is a smart and well-made choice. It's just a shame the battery life is merely average.

Acer has impressed on several occasions with its cut-priced netbooks, but its Aspire One lags behind rivals when it comes to quality and usability. The Aspire One 531 doesn't offer anything genuinely new, but it's one of the nicest netbooks available when it comes to styling and quality. Although it comes in at the top end of the Aspire One range, it's well equipped, with the option of 3G/HSDPA, and if you're in the market for a mid-range netbook it comes highly recommended.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
Power efficient, cheap and slow Netbook single core CPU. Because of the in-order execution, the performance per MHz is worse than Core Solo or Celeron M processors. Compared to the N270, the N280 is only minimally higher clocked and offers a higher FSB.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
This is a typical display size for tablets and small convertibles.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.
1.22 kg:
This weight is typical for big tablets, small subnotebooks, ultrabooks and convertibles with a 10-11 inch display-diagonal.
Acer: Acer Incorporated is a Taiwanese multinational electronics manufacturer. Its product lineup includes desktops and laptops, as well as personal digital assistants (PDAs), servers and storage, displays, peripherals, and e-business services for business, government, education, and home users. Acer is the third largest computer manufacturer in the world (by sales) after HP and Dell Inc (2007). The company owns the largest franchised computer retail chain in Taipei, Taiwan. Originally named Multitech, it was founded in 1976. Gateway and Packard Bell are economically connected with Acer. Market share regarding sales of personal computers in 2007 (market research IDC): HP 18.9 %, Dell 16.4 %, Acer 9.9 %, Lenovo 7.5 %, Apple 5.7 %
83.83%: This rating should be considered to be average. This is because the proportion of notebooks which have a higher rating is approximately equal to the proportion which have a lower rating.

Jon Krakauer: Writing is like Rock Climbing
Travel Blog • Eva Holland • 04.26.12 | 9:51 AM ET
This week I've been making my way through a collection of interviews called The New New Journalism: Conversations with America's Best Nonfiction Writers on Their Craft. It's an interesting read. The writers—everyone from Gay Talese to Eric Schlosser and Susan Orlean—describe how they work, from story idea through interviewing to writing and editing.
In one section, Jon Krakauer explains his use of outlines. It involves a lot of hand-written scenes pinned to his office wall in sequence. The book's author, Robert S. Boynton, asks him where he got the technique.
Here's Krakauer's reply:
Rock climbing. When you embark on a really big climb like, say, the Salathé wall of El Capitan, which rises three thousand vertical feet from the floor of Yosemite Valley, the enormity of the undertaking can be paralyzing. So a climber breaks down the ascent into rope-lengths, or pitches. If you can think of the climb as a series of twenty or thirty pitches, and focus on each of these pitches to the exclusion of all the scary pitches that still lie above, climbing El Cap suddenly isn't such an intimidating prospect. By following an outline I can focus on the chapter that's in front of me… It makes writing a book much less terrifying.
5 Comments for Jon Krakauer: Writing is like Rock Climbing
Spencer 04.26.12 | 9:36 PM ET
For me writing is like a rolling rock down a hill. Once you give it a little push the momentum takes it further and further.
Solo Female Nomad 04.28.12 | 4:01 PM ET
Love the comparison! I will have to apply that to my writings.
Bill Walker 05.06.12 | 11:50 AM ET
Heckuva' interesting comparison. Like in golf, focus on the next shot, not the entire course. It becomes more workmanlike. Perhaps you could even call travel writing a Calvinist pursuit.
tourist places in India 05.08.12 | 1:38 AM ET
this article is so really wonderful one to read and get a new information about this kind of blogs….
Chris Chinniah 05.23.12 | 11:28 PM ET
Many writers have their own ways of writing and crafting their tales. Some do it like how the article described, like rock climbing. Others use comic book panels with drawings to help them flesh out ideas, and some just write with no problem. Having a good storyboard will give you insurance in case you get a writer's block, and find yourself losing creativity. Going back to the board will give you more inspiration about how the story should continue.

Talk about leading a full life… Edna Parker (pictured right), the world's oldest person, has died at age 115. Reading about Ms. Parker, I learned a new term – supercentenarian. It's defined as anyone who reaches the amazingly small club of 110-year-olds.
The ever pervasive question is, of course, what was her secret to longevity? She apparently didn't offer much in the way of advice. However, she claimed to not have ever drank alcohol or smoked.
"She kept active," said her grandson Don Parker, 60. Describing his trips to her nursing home he said: "We used to go up there, and she would be pushing other patients in their wheelchairs."
Her only actual advice to those who gathered to celebrate when she became the oldest person was "more education." With that oblique bit of guidance, I began to wonder what other supercentenarians had attributed their longevity to. So, I did a bit of research, and this is what I came up with from the two oldest known people in history: (more…)

Vermont gas prices downStaff Report | March 04,2013The price at the pump in Vermont fell 1.7 cents a gallon in the last week, averaging $3.83 a gallon, according to the latest GasBuddy.com survey of 626 gas outlets in the state.
The national average fell 2.8 cents a gallon to $3.70 gallon.
Gas prices in Vermont over the last week were 1.7 cents a gallon higher than the same day a year ago and are 10.8
cents a gallon higher than a month ago.
The national average increased 21.6 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 0.7 cents a gallon lower than a year ago.
GasBuddy.com senior petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan said the current national average prices are now under year ago levels.
"And perhaps the best news is that the national average will likely continue to decline in most areas east of the Rockies in the week ahead as wholesale gasoline prices have given up ground," DeHaan said.

First Windows Phone Preview June 23 Pep talk by Mr. Elop 0 commentsJun 23, 2011 9:38 PM
This had to be an intentional release but Mr. Elop asks all employees to rurn off recording devices before they show the first Windows phone. If you listen carefully to this speech there are some interesting tidbits. e.g. the reference to the "China problem". Obviosly there was a supply line problem in China that someone in management was reluctant to talk about. As I have stated before I am long NOK. While there are many reasons I went long I think this is a beaten down stock that has fallen to far. The smartphone battle will be a long one and there will be multiple winners (other than AAPL) . Further I believe that the entire supply chain of handheld devices is the growth story of the coming decade. I see the handheld device as our personal portal to our digital world. Obviously a small device will not be our sole computing device but it will enable us to connect with the rest of our data and apps wherever they may be. Sharpen your wits investors this sector will be fun.

DragonFire Has New Door Panels for RZR XP1000 0
Although the XP1K is a prettysweet machine, the perfectionists at DragonFire have found two items to improve on: the doors. Although visually stunning, most serious offroaders would actually prefer something a bit more substantial. To that end, DragonFire introduces their new door panels and "Slammer" kits for the big Polaris UTV.
The door panel set-up fills the void left in the stock door in order to provide plenty of protection from trailside hazards. Each aluminum panel is laser cut for a precise fit and then gusseted for strength and added durability. Aesthetically, the custom bends match to OEM lines. The panels are sold in sets and come complete with DragonFire's exclusive "Slammer" latch kits.
Also available separately from the door panels, DragonFire's Slammer kit updates the hardware on the stock door, providing a much sturdier system overall. Not only do these kits reduce the free-play found in the factory door, they help keep the striker pins and latches aligned and the doors securely shut. Best of all, this peace of mind is available for right around $20.
Door Panel Features:
Complete kit with two door panels and hardware
Slammer Kit included for optimized function
Constructed from aircraft grade aluminum with built-in gussets
Bent to match OEM body lines
Powdercoated in textured black for style
Graphic kits available
Slammer Kit Features:
Reduces free-play in factory door
Helps keep alignment of factory latch
High-grade hardware for longevity
Direct stock replacements
For more info on the Door Panels & Slammer kits, click here:
Next time you jump onto the Internet, be sure to "Like" DragonFire on Facebook: www.facebook.com/DragonFireRacing
The name says it all! DragonFire continues to crank up the heat when it comes to the best products in the UTV business. DragonFire has everything from engine.
and suspension components to bolt-on accessories! We feel your passion, so when you think of UTV parts and accessories think of the Dragon… and Feel the Heat!

Most will agree that men and women differ greatly in interests and behavior.
Now, a new study suggests that the personality differences between sexes have been greatly underestimated.
The study is published in the online journal Public Library of Science.
Researchers used a new method to compare "multiple trait" personality profiles of 10,000 men and women.
Women scored significantly higher than men for sensitivity, warmth and apprehension.

MOBILE, Alabama -- A man with a history of arrests in Mobile County faces nine more charges today after police said he crashed a stolen motorcycle on Government Boulevard.
Officers noticed a motorcycle speeding near the Interstate 65 exchange about 4:30 p.m., when the rider lost control and crashed, according to a news release from the Mobile Police Department. The rider ran across the street before he was taken into custody.
Police discovered the motorcycle had been stolen out of Gulfport, Mississippi, and the rider, Cornet Larry Beard, was charged with first-degree receiving stolen property, the release stated.
Beard, 35, also faces charges from several traffic warrants, including driving on a suspended license, driving on a revoked license, improper lights, no drivers license, driving the wrong way on a one-way street, speeding, switched tags, and having an open container, according to the release.
Beard's arrest record shows a considerable list of charges dating back to 1993 -- from traffic citations to theft of property and drug possession to attempted murder -- in Mobile County, according to the Metro Jail log.

Huffington Post Publishes Klinkner's Blog on VP Pick

In a Huffington Post article titled "Why the Ryan Pick Fizzled," Philip Klinkner, the James S. Sherman Professor of Government, discussed why assumed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's selection of U.S. Representative Paul Ryan as his vice president nominee didn't generate an overwhelmingly positive response among voters.
Klinkner pointed out that most Americans know little about Ryan. He also noted that "the Ryan choice didn't give anyone a reason to rethink their presidential vote since there are few undecided voters in this election and there's nothing either demographically or ideologically different about Ryan compared to Mitt Romney."

Mr. David L. Karas, Owner/President
ADAO, Inc.
3215 East 42nd Avenue
Denver, Colorado, 80216
Dear Mr. Karas:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspected your food manufacturing facility, located at 3215 East 42nd Avenue, Denver, Colorado, on December 15-17th and 20-22nd, 2010. Our investigation found serious violations of the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations in manufacturing, packing, or holding of human food, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 110 [21 CFR 110]. These violations cause the products manufactured in your facility to be adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) [21 (U.S.C.) § 342 (a)(4)] in that they have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have been contaminated with filth, or whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health.
Furthermore, during the inspection, our investigators collected labels of your food products. Our review of the labels and other evidence collected during the inspection indicate that your firm's Double Cheese Stack, Mediterranean, Grilled Chicken & Provolone Cheese, and Mandarin Orange products are misbranded within the meaning of Section 403 of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 343] and its implementing regulations in 21 CFR Part 101. You may find the Act and its implementing regulations through links on FDA's website at http://www.fda.gov.
Your significant violations include:
1. Pests must not be allowed in any area of a food plant, and effective measures must be taken to exclude pests from the processing areas and to protect against the contamination of food on the premises by pests, to comply with 21 CFR 110.35(c). However, your firm failed to exclude pests from the kitchen, old dairy cooler room, hummus production room, delivery dock, warehouse, and garage. For example:
• Eleven apparent rodent excreta pellets were observed in a plastic tote containing packages of elbow pasta, bowtie pasta, and rice paper.
• At least 4 apparent rodent excreta pellets were observed in a clear plastic container holding cleaned and sanitized utensils intended to be used during food production.
• Apparent rodent excreta pellets too numerous to count were observed along the entire perimeter of the old dairy cooler room.
• Approximately 154 apparent rodent excreta pellets were observed in the southeast corner of the hummus production room, underneath and behind food storage and equipment racks; 54 apparent rodent excreta pellets were found along the southwestern portion of the hummus production room; and 14 apparent rodent excreta pellets were observed along the raised curb on the southern side of the hallway leading into the hummus production room and the kitchen from the warehouse.
2. Your firm failed to provide adequate screening or other protection against pests to comply with 21 CFR 110.20(b)(7). Specifically:
• There was a gap of 12 inches in height and 14 to 1 inch in width between the metal frame and gasket on the west side of the loading dock door, and a gap of 90 inches in height and a maximum of 2 inches in width between the metal frame and gasket on the east side of the loading dock door.
• The exterior kitchen door exiting to the outside trash compactor did not close adequately once the door had been opened, leaving variable gaps open to the outside; a gap of approximately 86 inches in height and a maximum of 2 inches in width was on the west side of the southern old dairy cooler rolling door; and a hole, approximately 18 inches in height and 12 inches wide was in the northwest wall of the kitchen, near the exterior door.
During the inspection closeout meeting on 12/22/2010 you stated that all stored product was removed from the dairy cooler room and the room's floor was washed. Your response to FDA on 1/14/2011 indicated you (b)(4) pest control services, and plan to hire (b)(4) to replace your exterior doors and cooler door. Your response also notes that you are in the process of filling interior holes and installing new gaskets on doors, that you have cleaned and sanitized all the areas where mouse droppings were found, removed all clutter from the old dairy cooler room and main warehouse, and have sealed the interior entry point to the garage with a sliding door and new gaskets. However, your response is inadequate in that you have not provided a timeframe for when all the repairs will be completed.
3. Your firm failed to properly store equipment and remove litter and waste that may constitute an attractant, breeding place, or harborage area for pests within the immediate vicinity of the plant buildings or structures to comply with 21 CFR 110.20(a)(1). Specifically:
• In the garage you stored boxes containing personal belongings and wooden pallets holding flattened boxes, office equipment, an aquarium, a raised garden bed containing dirt, an unused refrigerator and other extraneous materials on 12/20/10.
• Unused wooden pallets, piles of soil and vegetation debris, trash, and other debris were along the southwestern exterior wall.
During the closeout meeting on 12/22/10 you stated that the dirt from the community garden, which is in close proximity to the building along the southwestern side of the facility, was removed. However, your response is inadequate in that you have not addressed whether you have removed all the soil and vegetation debris from the exterior of your building, and you have not provided a timeframe for the removal of any other debris present and adjacent to the exterior of your building.
4. Your firm is not constructed in such a manner as to allow floors and ceilings to be adequately cleaned and kept clean and kept in good repair to comply with 110.20(b)(4). Specifically:
• The kitchen and hummus production room floors are comprised of brick that was cracked, missing grout, and unsealed, and does not allow for the floors to be adequately cleaned. Food debris was observed between the unsealed bricks in both rooms.
• Two ceiling tiles were missing on the north side of the kitchen, creating an opening to the space above the ceiling.
During the closeout meeting on 12/22/10 you stated that employees use bleach when mopping the floor and that you purchased ceiling tiles. Your response received 1/19/11 indicated you are
in the process of re-grouting the floors and replacing some ceiling tiles in the main kitchen. FDA recommends all flooring in food preparation and storage areas be smooth, non-absorbent, easily cleanable and durable (e.g., no cracks). Your responses are inadequate in that the documents do not provide specific details of your corrections to flooring in the kitchen and production room, or replacement of ceiling tiles. In addition, you have not provided a timeframe for completion of the corrections.
5. Your firm failed to handle work-in-progress in a manner that protects against contamination to comply with 21 CFR 110.80(b)(5). Specifically, celery was draining in the right basin of the kitchen's 2-compartment sink where an employee was washing hands in the left basin sink adjacent to the celery. A second employee rinsed and drained red peppers in the same basin used for hand washing. Soiled food equipment and utensils were stored on the drain board adjacent to the left 2-compartment basin.
In addition, we have reviewed the labels for your Double Cheese Stack and Grilled Chicken & Provolone Cheese sandwiches, and your Mediterranean and Mandarin Orange salad products, and determined that they are misbranded within the meaning of Section 403 of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 343]. Specifically,
6. Your Double Cheese Stack and Grilled Chicken & Provolone Cheese sandwiches and your Mediterranean and Mandarin Orange salad products are misbranded within the meaning of Section 403(w) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 343(w)] in that the labels for your deli products fail to declare completely or accurately the known major food allergens they contain, specifically milk, soy, egg, wheat, and tree nuts.
Section 201(qq) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(qq)] defines as "major food allergens" milk, egg, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, and soybeans, as well as any food ingredient that contains protein derived from one of these foods, with the exception of highly refined oils or ingredients derived from such oils. A food is misbranded if it is not a raw agricultural commodity and it is, or it contains an ingredient that bears or contains, a major food allergen, unless either:
• The word "Contains", followed by the name of the food source from which the major food allergen is derived, is printed immediately after or adjacent to the list of ingredients [Section 403 (w)(1)(A) of the Act; 21 U.S.C. § 343(w)(1)(A)]; or
• The common or usual name of the major food allergen in the list of ingredients is followed in parentheses by the name of the food source from which the major food allergen is derived, except that the name of the food source is not required when either the common or usual name of the ingredient uses the name of the food source or the name of the food source from which the major food allergen is derived appears elsewhere in the ingredient list (unless the name of the food source is listed but not as a major part of the name of an ingredient which is not required to be declared as a major food allergen) [Section 403(w)(1)(B) of the Act; 21 U.S.C. § 343(w)(1)(B)].
For example:
• The Double Cheese Stack sandwich includes cheddar and pepper jack cheese (which contain milk) and mayonnaise (from a container that bears the statement "contains egg"). According to the wholesale menu this product is available on whole wheat bread. The revised label provided during the inspection bears the statement "Contains wheat and milk products", but fails to declare the allergen "egg."
• The Grilled Chicken & Provolone sandwich includes chicken, provolone cheese (which contains milk), mayonnaise (from a container that bears the statement "contains egg") and according to the wholesale menu, is available on whole wheat bread. The revised label provided during the inspection bears the statement "Contains wheat and milk products", but fails to declare the allergen "egg".
• The Mandarin Orange salad contains a tofu ingredient (which is made from soy) and walnuts. The revised label provided during the inspection, bears the statement "Contains 'nuts, soy, and milk ingredients." However, section 403(w) of the Act requires that the specific tree nut be declared, and the revised label fails to make the appropriate declaration for the specific tree nut.
• The Mediterranean salad includes pita bread (from a package that declares "Contains: wheat, milk, and soy".) The revised label provided during the inspection states, "Contains milk ingredients," but fails to declare "wheat" and "soy," which are declared on the pita bread product label.
7. Your Double Cheese Stack and Grilled Chicken & Provolone Cheese sandwiches and your Mediterranean and Mandarin Orange salad products are misbranded within the meaning of Section 403(i)(2) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 343(i)(2)] because they are fabricated from two or more ingredients, but the labels fail to bear the common or usual name of each ingredient as required under 21 CFR 101.4. For example:
• Your Grilled Chicken & Provolone Cheese and Double Cheese Stack sandwich ingredient statements declare mayonnaise, which is a multi-ingredient component. Your labels for these products fail to include soybean oil, water, com syrup, egg yolk, vinegar, salt, spice, calcium disodium EDTA, all of which are sub-ingredients contained in the mayonnaise which is used in the manufacture of these two products. In addition, provolone cheese and the "cheese" in your Double Cheese Stack are foods comprised of sub-ingredients that are not listed on your finished product label's ingredient statement [21 CFR 101.4(b)(2)].
• Your Mediterranean salad ingredient statement fails to include cherry tomatoes, which are contained in the product according to your wholesale menu. Furthermore, the pita bread, feta cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette dressing are foods comprised of several sub-ingredients, which are not listed on your finished product label [21 CFR 101.4(b)(2)].
• Your Mandarin Orange and Mediterranean salad ingredient statements fail to include the types of organic greens contained in the product. Specifically, your label reads "with Organic Greens", but there is no reference to any "Organic Greens" in the list of ingredients.
• Your Grilled Chicken & Provolone Cheese and Double Cheese Stack sandwich ingredient statements are made with bread, which is a food comprised of several sub-ingredients, which are not listed on your finished product label [21 CFR 101.4(b)(2)].
The requirement to list these component ingredients (or "sub-ingredients") may be met by either parenthetically listing the component ingredients after the common or usual name of the main ingredient, or by listing the component ingredients without listing the ingredient itself. Under the first alternative, the component ingredients must be listed in descending order of predominance within the multi-component ingredient; and under the second alternative, the component ingredients must be listed in descending order of predominance in the finished food.
In addition, we note that your product labels must declare the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor in accordance with 21 CFR 101.5. For example, the statement of the place of business must include the street address, city, State, and ZIP code. Some of your labels in use at the time of the inspection list only the location of the business as Denver, CO 80222. The street address may be omitted if it is shown in a current city directory or telephone directory. In addition, you fail to provide the name of your business (ADAO, Inc.) on your product labels. Unless your line names, e.g., (b)(4) are names of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor, these products of yours are misbranded.
Your January 14, 2011 response to the FDA 483 partially addresses the above labeling deficiencies. You did not submit labeling corrections for all the food products identified as non-compliant during the inspection or at minimum demonstrate correction has been achieved. We only received the extended ingredient lists for your microwavable "World b'eatin" meals. In addition, based on the proposed corrections you submitted, your "Contains" statement and/or "Allergy Warning" in the extended ingredient lists for your microwavable "World b'eatin" meals are not declared in accordance with Section 403(w)(1)(A) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 343(w)(1)(A)].
The above violations are not meant to be an all-inclusive list of deficiencies in your plant and on your product labels. It is your responsibility to ensure that your processing plant operates in compliance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and all applicable regulations, including the Good Manufacturing Practice regulations (21 CFR Part 110). You should take prompt action to correct all of the violations noted in the letter. Failure to do so may result in regulatory action without further notice, including but not limited to, seizure and/or injunction.
Please respond in writing within fifteen 15 working days from your receipt of this letter. Your response should outline the specific things you are doing to correct these deviations. You should include in your response any documentation, such as records, revised labels, photographs, or other useful information that would assist us in evaluating your corrections. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond, you should explain the reason for your delay and state when you will correct any remaining violations.
Please send your written reply to the Food and Drug Administration, Attention: Carolyn A. Pinney, Compliance Officer, at the above letterhead address. If you have any questions regarding any issue in the letter, please contact Carolyn A. Pinney at (303) 236-3024.

Camelbak follows up on its built-in filter bottle with an insulated version that keeps water cool longer.
I recently reviewed the groundbreaking water bottle called the Camelbak All Clear, which takes tap water from places you're not supposed to drink the tap water and makes it safe for you to gulp down. This Groove Insulated bottle has a filter in it, but it's not meant to be taken that far. Rather, this is a bottle meant to wean people off their commercially filtered bottled water that's dinging their wallet and destroying the environment. Picture the last time you had to dump out your water bottle before going through security at the airport, then were faced with the prospect of spending another $3 on the other side to duplicate it. With this Groove bottle, you just fill up at the water fountain (remember those things?) and you're good to go.
I just spent three weeks in Eastern Europe and used this bottle daily, not once needing to pick up a bottle in the supermarket. You can drink the water there and sometimes it's natural spring water that tastes great, but with this I could fill up anywhere and never get hit with the taste of chlorine.
The way it works is, a tubular filter in the middle is attached to the spout where you suck out the water. The force of that pulls it through the filter and it comes out the other end tasting neutral. The way the insulation works is, there's a double wall of plastic. That's not as effective as stainless steel, so don't expect the kind of stellar "ice cold for hours" results I got with the Under Armour Thermos bottle I tried out last year, and it only holds 20 ounces (6/10 of a liter), but it'll fit into most backpack pockets and water carriers.
Eventually you'll have to replace the filter and the only way to know that time is here is when you can taste that it's not doing the job anymore. The specs say it'll go for 48 gallons on one, which is a good stretch. Replacement ones are $10 for two, $25 for six.
Camelbak has a good reputation for quality and they back up these bottles with a good replacement warranty. I did find this bottle to leak at the top sometimes, but overall I've been happy with it otherwise. It takes a lot less suction force than I expected to use it, so the filter part hasn't been an inconvenience at all. I once bought a no-name brand bottle with a filter like this before a hike a few years ago and was ready to stomp it to pieces by the end of the trek: it kept coming apart where the filter meets the spout. No such troubles with this one as it's much more intelligently designed.
The Groove Insulated bottles come in the color you see here plus a gray/black version and an aquamarine version. This one is easy to find in stores or shop for it online with these direct links to Backcountry, REI, Moosejaw, or Amazon.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Audi S4/A4/A4 Cab (B8 Chassis)' started by Scuba79, Jun 29, 2013.
Please can anyone provide some buying advice on a 2008 A4 3.0 TDI (B8).
Many thanks
I've only had mine 5 months so can only give you a few pointers which probably apply to many other cars too.
Things to keep an eye open for:
1) A slight shudder when pulling away in first or reverse. Could indicate the clutch will need replacing soon.
2) Cracks in the plastic headlights can let in water leading to fogging.
3) For the saloon with the boot up open the flap behind the lights. Water might come out indicating the rubber seals around the light might need replacing. I think these should have been done as a workshop action on the early B8's but mine wasn't. Also check the spare wheel well for water.
Apart from that it's a great car and the engine is sweet.
Thanks Stonefish for your advice.
