It was all before everyone saw Daniel Radcliffe's very private magic wand on Broadway, Rupert Grint grew a ginger beard or Emma Watson turned into mini Mia Farrow.
On November 19, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 opens in theaters, which means the final chapter of Harry Potter's saga will draw to a close -- or, at least, the first half of the final chapter.
The second and final chapter, not in theaters until July 15, 2011, features the mother of all cinematic pay-offs for Potter fans -- the highly anticipated showdown between Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his arch nemesis, Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes), in the Forbidden Forest. But we're not there yet, Hogwarts fans.
In order to reach what will be a very drawn-out and emotional conclusion (though not drawn out enough for many fans who can't bear to see the films come to an end), we have to get through Part 1, not lose our minds at an inevitable huge cliff-hanger, and then count the minutes until Part 2 opens in July.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, which some are calling a Harry Potter road movie, begins with Harry (Radcliffe), Ron (Grint) and Hermione (Watson) setting out to track down the Horcruxes, the secret to Voldemort's immortality. Their destruction is the only way Voldemort can be destroyed, but as dark forces begin to take over and they are hunted by Voldemort's Death Eaters, "The Boy Who Lived" uncovers the old, almost forgotten legend of the Deathly Hallows, which could give the evil Lord the unending power he seeks.
Get ready for the Battle of Hogwarts and for a long, tear-stained farewell to Harry Potter.

So that means you're female, yes? Or gay. I can't tell. Anyway, welcome to the board and i absolutely LOVE your username!
George says hello. No, this is not some weird variant of "Simon says" I'm George A from B in G, and if you want the last two in full, just add "onn" and "ermany". Thing is, I'm technically not even from there, I'm kind of from India but not an Indian... ...yeah, I know, it's confusing. Have I mentioned that I lived in Austria last year? IRL, I work for my Family and am the proud owner of Lufthansa... ...no, other way round. No, my posts will not consist of a joke every second line, it's just that it's 02:37 AM here, so, yeah... Aaaanyway, as for a random trivial fact, I love ships with more than two nacelles Any questions, please ask
Re: George says hello. Hello, but I believe there is a thread at the top that is for introductions, as not to spam up the boards too much. However, welcome.
Re: George says hello. Captain Obvious strikes again... I like them too, I'm just saying that I absolutely *adore* ships like the Galaxy-class refit from "All Good Things".
Re: George says hello. Geroge, ignore my earlier comment. This is turning out to be a multi-nacelle discussion, then. I love the Stargazer. Four nacelles. <3 EDIT: Just as a tip, George, you can use the "Multi Quote" function. Just click on the ones you want to quote, and when you reply, you get all of the quotes in instead of three to 4 messages in a row.
Re: George says hello. Ah thanks, that comes in handy Anyway, I must say I'm not too much of a fan of the constellation class to be honest. The saucer looks as though the nacelle pylons were pierced through it. I prefer the Prometheus class, or, better, the Cheyenne class.
Re: George says hello. Jesus. How long have I been here? And I didn't know that until now? I used to copy\paste quotes... Anyway, welcome George!
Re: George says hello. *banishes Robert Maxwell to the Lit forum for being a meanie.* Welcome. That being said, there is a thread right up at the very top for you to introduce yourself in. Also, if you look at the bottom of the main page, you will see the "Red Shirt Lounge" which is also a good place to pop in and say hi. I'm going to leave this open for a while, and will probably merge it into the welcome thread early tomorrow. That's where most people seem to look for new members, George, and this way we can make sure they see you.

Guy Who Pays the Bills and Gets the Death Threats--Yeah, that's why I stated in my previous post to progress from hitting a bag, to hitting an opponent. (I was posting the above from Scrapper's computer at his work).
The point though was mainly for someone who's never done any punching on the ground to try and see for themselves what it's like. Power generation is completely different on the ground than it is standing up.

State-run station rejects new Newstalk TV ad after taking a leaf out of Nile TV's book and rejecting anything that doesn't toe the party line! The new TV ad from Newstalk is a continuation of their hard hitting outdoor campaign and again carries the "Get the news without the State-run spin" message which is presumable why RTE have refused to air the TV ad in its current form.

An expanding, grody pink blob that takes over a suburban home and eventually smashes through the windows in this spot by Colenso BBDO for the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation.
The agency also created an installation in downtown Auckland, with an initially tiny blob growing so large it blocked the street. Local white-collar types didn't seem to mind, and the well-intentioned stunt made the nightly news, drawing attention to the cause.
The New Zealand campaign successfully treads the middle ground: It's "wacky" enough to catch viewers' attention and slightly sinister, emphasizing that early detection can avert problems before they grow out of all proportion.

Retro Halloween cocktail recipe
28 October 2011
Calling the Ronrico Rumkin a Halloween cocktail is a bit of a stretch since none of the ingredients has anything to do with Halloween.
The recipe for the Ronrico Rumkim, as it appears in the above 1983 ad:
1 oz. of Ronrico Rum
Orange juice
Dash of grenadine
Pour Ronrico Rum into a highball glass with ice cubes. Fill glass with orange juice. Add a splash of grenadine. Stir lightly.

The recent irregular ordination in Singapore is, in my opinion, an open and premeditated assault on Anglican tradition, catholic order and Christian charity.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The consumers of the world are ready for a new console generation, and Nintendo is giving it to them on two screens. The Wii U is selling out wherever it's marketed,
making for a solid 400,000 units in the first week. The company is taking a loss on every console sold, but as long as any given customer also buys one game, the Japanese company is in the black.
It doesn't take much to get Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Amie excited, but he was happy to share the figure with CNET.
"Wii U is essentially sold out of retail and we are doing our best to continually replenish stock," he told CNET. "Retailers are also doing their best to get the product to store shelves. But as soon as product hits retail, they're selling out immediately."
It's a good figure for a system that pundits, at Forbes and elsewhere, had doubts about, even if it lags the Wii by about 200,000 units. I'd guess that the Wii U now has one year to cement a large install base and secure its position as the only next-gen console before Microsoft and Sony announce a couple of meaty machines in the coming months. The Wii was plagued by a lack of third-party support and a problem with consoles gathering dust after their owners got tired of Wii Sports, but I think Nintendo is going to have an easier time with that this time around. The Wii U is less friendly to gimmick buyers, but packs more varied utility into its tablet controller.
Elsewhere, the New York Times published a weekend feature that suggests the Wii U is the beginning of the end of an era when consoles dominate the video game market. Which worldview is correct? Determining that will take a time, but for right now, Nintendo has bought itself breathing room.

Success stories
The difference is in the detail
A company that is the brainchild of just a few people and soon manages to grow and compete with some of the top names in the industry, is certainly worthy of mention. We are talking about SOR, a company located in the Czech Republic that today produces around 33 different types of buses and has made laser technology a vital element of its business.
"Most of our production is buses and coaches" says Dr. Petr Hajek, executive head of SOR. "Last year we produced over 550 coaches." Today, Sor has a head count of 600 and more than 75% of its coaches are for the domestic and Slovak market.
About 25% is exported mainly to countries such as Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Serbia and Russia. "We are also successful in Belgium, Hungary and Denmark, and recently 20 coaches went to the Faroe Islands."
The fixed idea of producing coaches
Engineer Frantisek Diblik, Chief Technologist of SOR, is one of the promoters and founders of the company and tells us how it all started in 1990 when, along with three other managers who came from another major bus manufacturer, they took over a company specialised in the production of prefabricated elements for the construction field and re-directed it towards the automotive industry.
"Thanks to our expertise and experience" - explains Diblik - we started out by manufacturing spare parts for buses, but the real goal was to produce coaches. Therefore, in 1995 we manufactured our first vehicles for passenger transport, a small 7.5 m bus, which was not very common on the market and, in fact, there was no competition. Nevertheless, it was still difficult to start with a product like that, because at that time the name of our old company was synonymous with coaches in our country. However, gradually we expanded the range of models produced, adding the larger buses from 9.5 to 12 m and also differentiating the models. Production has steadily grown until reaching a production of more than 200 buses a year; but the real turning point came in 2005 when J&T, a finance group joined SOR. In 2007 production reached 400 buses. Since then we have kept these volumes even through the 2008/2009 economic crisis.
Today SOR is the absolute reference on the Czech market and has major supply contracts with the cities of Prague (650 coaches in five years) and Bratislava (100 coaches).
The difference is in the chassis
Coaches are sold through public tendering where the determining factors for winning are price, lower consumption and lower operating costs. "We have a good price and performance relationship. " We can provide whatever necessary for a modern coach at a good price. Our coaches have an attractive design and in no way inferior to those of our best competitors." Says Martin Drabek, technologist of the company.
The low service cost also comes from the major use of technology
in the company's production processes; but how can a low price and
technology be combined in one product?
"Today, no serious producer can avoid fitting accessories of the
highest quality," says Drabek. "Parts such as engine, gearbox,
brakes, axles and air conditioning components are pretty much
standard and are made by specialized manufacturers whose parts have
to be used in order to be competitive on the European market. This
is not where the savings are. The difference is in the chassis.
Then there is the hourly cost of maintenance, the margins on spare parts and the reliability of the coach. All these factors contribute to achieving a reduction in the operating costs that have already been mentioned."
A natural choice
Speaking of the production processes employed by SOR, it must be said that the laser technology, especially that supplied by the BLM GROUP for cutting structural components of the chassis, is the heart of the production activity. "I can't imagine production without the use of lasers," says Mr. Diblik. "Before, we had several traditional mechanical cutting machines, but the demand for more accurate pieces and the increase in production volumes led to us opting for the laser. It was a normal and natural selection."
The first choice fell on the LT COMBO, a universal machine that processes steel sheets and tubes and for this reason it was the first to be used over three shifts. With the increase in production volumes, however, the amount of rectangular tube to be cut also increased. "When we had to increase production, we chose a laser tube system because in our area there are no third party suppliers of laser cut tubes to count on and therefore the second machine also acts as a stand-by in case of failure to the first" continues Diblik. "We managed to double production in the same production area. The advantages, however, are not only measurable in increased production. Before having the laser, we carried out many recovery operations that are no longer necessary because the laser ensures an already finished piece. The accuracy of the components thus increased, meaning that new types of joints could be made with fittings that were previously inconceivable and, in turn, this has simplified the welding equipment. The cutting bending system has helped to reduce the number of cuts. Very useful as well is the engraving that speeds up the next step by indicating the point where the next process has to be carried out, if any with the precision of a laser machine.
"Among the strengths of the laser systems adopted by SOR there is definitely the Rofin laser source, which is a guarantee of quality and reliability in the field of CO2 lasers, despite having to process many high-reflective materials that still cannot be cut and knowing that ADIGE could also provide a fiber laser system capable of carrying out this work. "
Two years ahead
"2012 is likely to be a complicated year," says Mr. Hajek. "The public transport companies have been actively trying to reduce costs. For this reason I say that 2012 will be positive if we can maintain the production levels of last year. To be better than our competitors, we have always been pioneers in thinking about certain coach models that would allow us to anticipate trends and issues.
We were the first to make "low-entry" vehicles and the small 8.5- m coaches, but above all we were forerunners in developing and manufacturing electric buses. Our electric battery run coaches guarantee self-sufficiency of 150 km with a single recharge. We were the first to make articulated coaches with five doors, now others have done the same."
"We rely on this ability of ours for the future," continues Hajek. "Although we are small we feel that we are leaders in new ideas that we put on the market. This is what has always helped us to grow and our competitors have always been behind us."

OD260 is calculated from the following equation, OD260 = (A260 * V) / p where A260 is absorbance at 260 nm, V is the solution volume in mL, and p is the length of the light path through the sample (cm). Thus, OD260 has the units mL/cm. Starting from the oligo molar extinction coefficient, ε260, ε260 = L/(mol · cm) = 103 mL/(mol · cm) Since OD260 has the units of mL/cm, the equation can be written as, 103 OD260/mol = 103 OD260/ 109 nmol = OD260/ 10-6 nmol Combination of both equations yields, ε260 = OD260 / 10-6 nmol and this can be rearranged as, nmole/OD260 = 106 / ε260

MUMBAI – As Daimler AG this month exits its 5-decades-old relationship with Tata Motors Ltd., the German auto maker is looking to strike out on its own in the burgeoning Indian market.

The action got started right away as Cesaro made his way to the ring with a slight change in music for a match against Jack Swagger. The two stronghold grapplers were evenly matched but the "Real American" garnered some momentum following chants of "We The People" from the patriotic crowd.
"The King of Swing" had a few choice words for Zeb Coulter who was ringside to support his companion but the lapse in concentration allowed Swagger to hit a big boot following the Patriot Lock.
Cesaro quickly tapped out, which allowed Swagger to grab the American flag for a celebration that was cut short with the interruption of Lana and Rusev. The Russian duo challenged Swagger to a flag match at Summerslam, to which was met with an acceptance from the Americans as they stared each other down.
The Viper Returns As The Apex Predator
Randy Orton sluggishly walked to the ring to cut a promo on Roman Reigns following his attack on the powerhouse on Raw. Orton said that Reigns deserved the attack because he stole the chance for a WWE World Championship shot away from him. "The Viper" dared Reigns to dare him to step in the ring with him at Summerslam because he will be met with an injection of poison and signed off by telling the fan favourite to "Believe That".
The action resumed with a rematch between Bo Dallas and R-Truth following the veteran's conquering of the former NXT Champion's winning streak on Monday night. The match was ended swiftly by the referee due to Dallas' relentless ambush on R-Truth despite the official's warning to stop. Dallas was evidently upset at his loss but still proclaimed that he "Bolieves" and knows deeply down inside that the fans "Bolieve" in him too.
AJ Lee skipped down the ramp for a match against Rosa Mendes who is the new star of the next season of Total Divas. Rosa screamed "I want a title shot", which was met with a Black Widow by the WWE Divas Champion for the win. AJ celebrated on the stage where Paige sneaked up from behind and knocked her "Frenemy" off the stage. Paige then said shouted that AJ is her best friend despite the attack as the confused rivalry continues to set up a rematch as Summerslam.
The Authority put Dean Ambrose up against Seth Rollins and Kane in a handicap match as the "Lunatic Fringe" sought to get his hands on his former tag-team partner. The match was at a slow pace with Kane and Rollins alternating between each other to keep their opponent down. Ambrose soon had enough of the games and grabbed a steel chair and hit his opposition with it to end the match in disqualification. Ambrose landed a post-match DDT on Kane but Rollins craftily rolled out of the ring and ran up the ramp to avoid further confrontation with his rival as the tension mounts between the two.
The intensity calmed with a match between Fandango and Diego with El Torito, Summer Rae and Layla accompanying the Madadores member. Fandango had the match under control but his former girlfriends danced ringside with Torito for Diego to land the backstabber finisher to steal the win. The victorious party danced up the aisle for Fandango to look on in anger following a series of defeats at the hands of his former allies.
Dolph Ziggler took on Alberto Del Rio with The Miz on commentary to keep a close eye on the Intercontinental Championship contenders. Ziggler landed an elevated DDT on Del Rio but The Miz grabbed a mic and addressed "The Show Off" before he could go for a pin. The "Hollywood Superstar" said he wasn't finished thanking people regarding his championship win as he went on to thank his parents again, his wife Maryse and Ziggler himself has he gave Miz the opportunity to win the title. Dolph was unable to find his way following the interruption as Del Rio locked in the cross armbreaker to win by submission.
Jericho Breaks The Code
The main event of the night saw Chis Jericho take on Erick Rowan with an added stipulation. If Y2J was able to beat The Wyatt Family member then Rowan will be banned from ringside during the proposed Summerslam match with Bray Wyatt. Wyatt watched on as Rowan manhandled the veteran with a series of body slams and throws into the ring posts.
Jericho was finally able to counter with an Enziguri and Lionsault combination but this was not enough to pin Rowan who responded with a shoulder block. Rowan tried to slow Jericho down with a bear hug but the former World Champion reversed with an Irish whip into the corner and finished with a Codebreaker for the three count. The win meant that one Wyatt Family member is now banned from ringside as Jericho signalled that he seeks to get the other one banned in the coming weeks before SummerSlam.
The rivalries are reaching boiling point as "The biggest blockbuster of the Summer" approaches in two weeks. The Ambrose vs. Rollins match is set to be the showstopper as the two workhorses continue to infuriate each other week after week. The fans witnessed the words of a newly reformed Randy Orton who has returned to the ways of the "Apex Predator" for his rivalry with Reigns. Jericho is looking fresh as ever and the battle with Wyatt is becoming more naturalised to add further value for their match on August 17.
Jack Swagger defeated Cesaro
R-Truth defeated Bo Dallas via disqualification
AJ Lee defeated Rosa Mendes
Kane and Seth Rollins defeated Dean Ambrose by disqualification
Diego defeated Fandango
Alberto Del Rio defeated Dolph Ziggler
Chris Jericho defeated Erick Rowan

TU to Dedicate Tiffin University Nature Preserve
TIFFIN UNIVERSITY, TIFFIN, OHTiffin University will dedicate the Tiffin University Nature Preserve on Tuesday, June 5, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. The community is invited and encouraged to attend.Located on Miami Street, the Nature Preserve is a partnership between Tiffin University and The Seneca County Park District, The Seneca County Commissioners, The City of Tiffin, The Hopewell Township Trustees and supporting funds from the Clean Ohio Grant Fund.
Tiffin University is one of the few Ohio colleges and universities to access the Clean Ohio Grant fund and the only one to utilize both statutory objectives of the fund.
The Clean Ohio Fund was established to preserve natural areas and farmland, protect streams, create outdoor recreational opportunities, and revitalize urban areas by returning contaminated properties to productive use.
The opening of the Tiffin University Nature Preserve completes a three-year project to permanently protect approximately 29 acres of streamside forest. The nature preserve provides an enhanced natural setting for gatherings of students and staff, as well as accessible natural areas for Tiffin and Seneca County-area citizens.
This is the first of two projects to be completed with the assistance of the Clean Ohio Fund by Tiffin University. Tiffin University, in cooperation with the City of Tiffin, is using the program to renovate and reuse toxic sites in Ohio by transforming the former Rosenblatt property into a new recreation center.
The Tiffin University Nature Preserve will preserve, restore, and enhance the Wolf Creek stream corridor running through the Tiffin University Athletic Fields. The University created a nature preserve of approximately 29 acres of forested floodplain wetland and vernal pool complex to improve water quality, and create public access to its existing public facilities with three new bridges and 4,000 linear feet of nature trail. The nature preserve will enhance the Tiffin University campus by providing a naturalistic setting for informal student and staff gatherings and will provide an open-space preservation in the countys most populated area. A conservation easement on the nature preserve will be conveyed to Seneca County Park District - creating the second largest regional park in Seneca County.
For additional information, contact Dr. Michael Grandillo, Vice President for Development & Public Affairs at 419.448.3418.

--Fitness is the key. If you always 'run out of gas' then you will not remember much, and you will have no fun when sparring.
Review the class, make notes, and always remember to bow at the right time to the right people, flags, photos. Etc. Thats key to excelling too.

Spar people who don't do TKD. Specifically spar: boxers, kickboxers or Muay Thai fighers, wrestlers and BJJ artists. These styles will help you improve and see holes in your game.
Styles that will be fun to spar against but may not help you improve in any way include: Wing Chung, Tang Soo Do, Ninjitsu, etc.
TKD is great for the rules they spar under, you just need to try and adapt to a more expansive ruleset.

--Maybe it would help if you told us what you mean by "excel at TKD"..... Do you want to be a good martial artist in general, want to be able to defend yourself or concentrate mainly on TKD point sparring matches?

Beginning this week, I am now a featured "Expert Blogger" on BlackDoctor.org, a website dedicated to the health and wellness of African Americans. Despite the target population of the site, there is plenty of great health and wellness information for everyone, and I do encourage all of my readers to pay the site a visit.
That said, you can follow this link to my first post on BlackDoctor.org, a post which focuses on the many benefits of bringing more laughter into your life.
As always, my blogging on BlackDoctor.org will in no way preclude my regular posts here on Digital Doorway, so never fear.

Heritage Video Productions
Heritage Video Productions were formed initially as a way of introducing the work of local award winning heritage film director Chris Abram to the general public.
Coming from a background of public relations, event staging and running his own award winning heritage tourist attraction, when he retired to his beloved South Lakeland/North Lancashire he decided to use his experience to make films about various aspects of life and heritage of the area.
This has led to the "OUR HERITAGE" series of dvds as well as a whole raft of shorter programmes dedicated to more specific aspects. The "OUR HERITAGE" dvds each take Chris in the region of two years to research, script, film and edit.
Many people have bought `High Definition Ready` televisions due to the enforced digital changeover and this also means that the size and shape of the screens have changed. This coincided with Chris's purchase of new broadcast quality, high definition cameras and the very latest digital editing suite. For him this has mean't stunning quality pictures in a 16:9 filming format, which shows his work off to its best advantage.
About this time he was also introduced to the wonderful work done by The North West Film Archive at Manchester Metropolitan University in collating and preserving old films of the area and by their generosity he has been able to utilise some of their footage into his latest films. It has opened up a new visual world of understanding of our past times for thousands of ordinary people. Not only that, their cooperation has allowed him to stage high profile shows featuring their renovated films in addition to his own heritage productions.
From the outstanding success of these films has led the staging of two sell out shows at "The Dome" in Morecambe, plus many smaller ones giving after dinner video presentations and talks to groups, historical societies, the W.I. and other organisations around the UK.
It is hoped to expand this website into a centre for promoting the heritage of Britain in its many forms and would welcome approaches from other video producers, book publishers, UK heritage tour operators, tourist boards and heritage attractions, to name just a few, who are sincere in promoting our BRITISH heritage.
All the local tourist authorities now actively support these programmes.

Pennsylvania Moms
Not really a big thing for us. If it works out, me might go out to get the kayaks we want. They are on a big sale, but they would be "old" and being out new ones in March so on sale again then ish too. So not going to really stress if not. We usually go out after like 11 to see what is left too. We will see. I work 8a-12p Friday. Hubby isn't sure what the plan is this year. They are normally off, but they changed them from regular to salary with OT option, so no clue if they are off yet. ( he was away on a business trip to Taiwan & didn't ask before he left ).

Difference between revisions of "Split"
Revision as of 05:32, 16 August 2014Split is a city in Central Dalmatia, Croatia. The city was originally built around the Diocletian palace (a palace/fort built for the retired Roman emperor Diocletian) where the locals sought refuge centuries ago. Despite initial appearances, however, the city is not a small tourist town, and extends over a large area well beyond the ancient core. With over 300,000 people in the wider bay area, its the economic hub of the eastern Adriatic shoreline (the unofficial "capital" of Dalmatia). Wandering the historic centre of Split you can still clearly see the Roman walls, squares, and temples. ContentsUnderstandBecause of its ideal climate, with 2,800 hours of sunlight each year, local people have a few nicknames for Split: "The most beautiful city in the world" and "Mediterranean flower". Many famous Croatian sports people are born in Split, so locals often nicknamed their city as "The sportiest city in the world". The most popular sport institution is the football club Hajduk. The whole city is painted with the club's colors and logo. This is done by Torcida, the oldest supporters group in Europe, established in 1950. Beside bell tower of St. Duje, the symbols of city are the Dalmatian dog and a donkey. Locals have a high place for the donkey because of its past indispensable place in field work and transport across Dalmatian mountains. Winters in Split are generally mild, with temperatures above 0°C, but despite the popular saying that the city experiences snowfall once every 30 years, there is actually at least one snowy day nearly every winter, usually in January or early February. If you find yourself in Split on a day with significant snowfall, expect serious traffic disruption. Get inBy planeSplit Airport (IATA: SPU) (ICAO: LDSP) [1] is, after Zagreb Airport, the most important in Croatia. Scheduled services fly to major European cities, with summer charter flights from more. The airport is about 25 km west from Split, near the city of Trogir. It has free WiFi internet. Airport buses run from the terminal to the city and stop at the eastern end of 'Riva'. A single ticket costs 30 kn. Local buses run from the road outside the terminal -- walk through the parking lot and go to the bus stop on the other side of the road. Bus number 37 runs about every 30 min and costs 16 kn (tickets are bought from the bus driver). Bus 37 does not take you all the way to the historical centre and you need to switch to bus 9 or 10, or just walk about a kilometre along the major road that runs by the bus stop (stops for buses 9 and 10 are also by this road). In addition, a small fraction of the departures from Split main bus station to Trogir on work days use the road next to the airport. In the on-line timetables [2] search for ZRAČNA L.-AIRPORT (but take into account that the timetable is not necessarily 100% correct). Going to the airport, onboard the bus tell the conductor that you want a stop at the airport. A shuttle bus run by Pleso Transport Company [3] operates between the airport and the city centre. If you ask locals for directions they will automatically point you towards this bus, but beware if you are travelling with another airline then this bus schedule is a bit irrelevant. A single ticket costs 33 kn (about €4). As of August 2013, it appears as if the shuttle bus meets all scheduled arriving flights even those not from Croatia Airlines and goes up to every 10 minutes in peak season. When exiting the terminal go to your right and you should see the buses. The bus stops at the central bus station by the port at a dedicated stop with an "AIRPORT" sign. For an up-to-date schedule, ask at a Tourist Information Centre. Taxis will also take you into town. A taxi to Split centre (ferry port or Diocletian's Palace) takes a bit over 30 min and costs about 270 kn on the meter, though most drivers will agree on 220 if asked in advance. If your transfering to a ferry tell the driver the ferry departure time so he can rush if neccesary. Most of the taxis have a preorder option for a cheaper price. For 0-24 coverage you have lots of options.
If leaving Split by plane, be careful to plan the journey to the airport in advance, as local buses don't run before 5 AM or after midnight. Flights to and from Belgrade, Serbia were reintroduced in June 2012 after a 21-year hiatus. As of July there are four flights per week. As expected, there is massive demand for these planes, so book with Croatia Airlines [5] or Jat Airways [6] well in advance in order to get a cheaper ticket. If you are seated next to the window, you can catch a magnificent glimpse of Sarajevo from 21,000 feet. By trainSplit train station is right in the city centre, it is a few minutes walk from the port and from the old town. Expect very friendly grannies to be waiting with signs saying "Sobe" (rooms) at all arrivals and they will jump on anyone with a backpack. The train station is rather basic, because train travel is not much used to Split. Trains run between Split and Zagreb, Split and Perković (where you can change for Šibenik). Timetables can be found from Croatian Railways website [7]. Trains are generally slower but slightly cheaper than buses in all of Croatia. Trains to Perković through the picturesque valley/village of Primorski Dolac depart 5 times a day and stop in every station taking 1 hr exactly to do the journey. This is a very picturesque journey to make, and although Perković is simply a collection of houses you could get off and have a coffee or go for a walk in the hills before returning to Split. Connecting Trains leave Perković for Šibenik several times a day, and should be marked on the timetable in Split station. By busFrequent buses run to and from Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Sibenik, Zadar, Rijeka etc. There are also regular buses to and from Mostar (125 KN, buses start leaving Split at 06:00) and Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (210 kn), Belgrade (Serbia), Trieste (Italy) and major cities of Germany and Austria. You can get detailed information on [AK Split [8]] about departure and arrival times. In the summer season there are more lines then off-season, for example in June-July-August, daily night buses to Banja Luka and Gradiska, north of Bosnia, as well as buses to Niš, Serbia twice a week. On most intercity buses you pay a fee for luggage. This fee of about €0.5-€1 (7 KN, July 2013) per piece of luggage is paid to the driver upon boarding. Some drivers are rather picky about being paid in exact change in the correct currency (sometimes a local currency, at other instances requesting to be paid in Euros) and sometimes also refuse to be paid in too small coins. So keep some change ready. Local buses run to and from Trogir and Solin. Regular bus from Budapest, Hungary Budapest Split Bus By boatFerries run three times a week across the Adriatic to and from Ancona and Pescara (Italy). There is also a large ferry that runs twice a week up and down the coast between Dubrovnik and Rijeka, stopping off at a couple of islands along the way. Split is the main hub for local boats and hydrofoils in Central Dalmatia. Several a day run to and from Brac, Hvar, Solta, Vis, Korčula and Lastovo.
Get aroundCentral Split is quite compact and most sights can be easily seen and best experienced on foot, but there are frequent local buses to outlying attractions and the airport. By car
By busPublic transit is organized by Promet [28]. Most of the city buses in Split are new, but some are very old and dilapidated. Tickets can be bought at kiosks or from the bus driver. Only single-journey tickets can be bought in buses.
When you board the bus you must validate your ticket in the yellow machine or give it to the driver for validation. By bike
Rent a bike and enjoy beautiful biking along Split's waterfront (Riva), continue to Marjan hill (approximately 7 km), climb to the top of the hill for great view on the Split town and surrounding islands. You can bike to the east side, along the coast to nearby village of Stobrec. Another great option from Split is to take a day tour to nearby islands of Solta, Brac, Hvar or Vis. You can take the bike on a regular ferry (they leave approximately every couple of hours in the summer season) and bike along quite roads and charming villages, explore great beaches and restaurants and return in the evening to Split [30]! Older but rideable mountain bikes are available for 15 kn/hour (March 2012) at the northern entrance to Marjan hill (near Mandalinski put). New bikes for rental in Split area fare prices. Delivery to your address http://rent-a-bicycle-split.com/ +385 95 887 56 26 (electric bikes, MTBikes, City bikes) Delivery free of charge in Split Hybrid touring, Cannondale road and tandem bikes available for rent at Meridien Ten ( http://meridienten.com/ ) or call + 385 21 388 951
By boatCompany Adria Seafari [32] provides speedboat services such as passenger transfers to islands (Hvar, Brač, Vis etc.) from /to port of Split or Split Airport, organizes sea safari tours for small groups and providing any other sea service you may require. Also is possible to rent a whole boat with or without skipper ad explore Adriatic sea by yourself... Boat rental, excursions and boat transfers Mayer Charter 00385912518222 There is a speed boat from Split or Split airport to Brač,Hvar,Šolta and Trogir [33]. They offer day trips to Hvar, Pakleni islands (Palmižana) and Bol(Zlatni rat) in one day. See
SailingThere are lots of companies running boats, such as Busabout, Topdeck and Contiki. The majority of sailing charters start from the city of Split. There are many charter agencies where you can charter a sailing or motor yacht which are based in Split. Most of them operate from ACI marina Split, marina Zenta or marina Spinut. There are also many charter agencies based in marina Kastela which is based in the vicinity of Split. When you charter a yacht through a charter agency and arrive to the designated marina there are a few things that need to be done. The most important thing is the yacht check in (usually Saturday around 4PM). Take your time doing yacht check in. Familiarise yourself with the chartered yacht and with the yacht equipment. The rule of thumb is the more time you take for the yacht check in, the less time you will need for the yacht check out. After that you have to do the shopping for the charter vacation. Don't neglect the groceries shopping because the sea is unpredictable and you don't want to get stuck on the boat without sufficient provisions of food and drink. You can do the shopping in a marina although the prices are usually much higher there, or you can order from yacht provisioning services who usually deliver the products to the marina at no extra fee. In Jam Yacht Supply [35] offer an online provisioning catalogue and you can order from a large selection of groceries and other products months in advance, everything you order awaits for you at the marina.
Shopping malls
EatThe most famous local delicates is Soparnik. It originates from nearby Poljica region (formerly known as Poljička Republika or Republic of Poljica). It is a dough filled with mangold vegetable and baked on fireplace. On top comes olive oil and garlic. You can find it on Pazar (green market). Italian influences dominate on Croatia's coast, amongst the best are; Risotto with tender white scampi or black calamari, a dish beloved by all Croatians. A wide selection of salumi, magnificent Istrian and Dalmatian hams (Dalmatinski pršut - comparable to Parma or Speck) and cheese from the island of Pag, are well worth trying, as are the large varieties of excellent Croatian wines and beers. Do not miss Dalmatian pašticada s njokama (Gnocchi). Please note; in a world suffocating under the weight of processed foods, Croatia's coastal cuisine is unique in that most of its produce is organic. Ćevapi or Ćevapčići (diminutive), are small grilled rolls of minced beef, pork, or lamb, or a combination of any of these three. Usually served with chopped onions, Kajmak (similar to clotted cream) or Ajvar (a relish made from bell peppers, aubergines, garlic and chilli). Ćevapi are traditional Bosnian dish and they are popular across the Balkans. Split's eateries are to be found in a variety of settings, ranging from the romantic to the vibrant. It isn't difficult to enjoy superb food and wine in a classical environment with good friends and/or family. Plenty of fast food joints between the Old Town and the bus station.
DrinkDalmatia is well known for its world class wines, but when in Split it is a must to try soda drinks called Pipi and Orela, produced by local beverage manufacturer Dalmacijavino [39]. Lots of outdoor cafés are to be found along the Riva seafront.
NightclubsThere are many clubs on Bačvice beach.
Private AccommodationsSplit and surrounding parts of Dalmatia have an extensive system of private accommodations where visitors can rent a room ("Sobe") or an entire apartment ("Apartman") from a local host. Some of these accommodations can be arranged ahead of time via booking sites on the internet, but most are arranged in person upon arrival. Look for Croatians holding signs or greeting tourists at the bus station or ferry port and ask about their accommodations. They will want to know how many people are in your party and how many nights you would like to stay. You will want to ask how many beds are in the room, where exactly the rental is located (travel with a map and ask them to point out the exact location), and the approximate price. Some haggling over the price is common, and you should ask to see the room before finalizing a price or handing over payment. Rentals typically include sheets and towels and do not include breakfast. It is normal to be asked to hand over your passport upon arrival. Hosts are required to use your passport register your presence with the local police, and they should return your documents within a few minutes. Mid range
Stay safeDo not go to striptease bars because they are a tourist trap. ContactInternet accessThere are internet cafés in the old centre of the city
There are several more Internet cafés by the harbour just north of the train station. One provides Ubuntu Linux.
There is free internet via WiFi in the People's Square next to the Lacoste store. Search for "Split Hotspot" Get outKlis: The Klis Fortress (Croatian: Tvrđava Klis) is a medieval fortress situated above a village bearing the same name, near the city of Split, in central Dalmatia, Croatia. From its origin as a small stronghold built by the ancient Illyrian tribe Dalmatae, becoming a royal castle that was the seat of many Croatian kings, to its final development as a large fortress during the Ottoman wars in Europe, Klis Fortress has guarded the frontier, being lost and re-conquered several times throughout its more than two thousand year-long history. Due to its location on a pass that separates the mountains Mosor and Kozjak, the fortress served as a major source of defense in Dalmatia, especially against the Ottoman advance, and has been a key crossroad between the Mediterranean belt and the Balkan rear.
Try renting a bike or scooter for exploring the island. When renting, take into account that the rental service normally closes rather early but when you ask for it, they are quite flexible as most people are in Split. A return ferry ticket should cost about 70 kn and has no time restrictions within the same day.

In common with some other Central American countries, Guatemala experiences high levels of violent crime. State authorities have come under criticism for what many perceive as a failure to control spiralling violence and to provide public security. The murder rate for both men and women has continued to rise, with 23 % more murders in 2005 (5,338 murders) as compared to 2004 (4,346 murders) according to police figures, with 2005 figures representing the highest figures since the end of Guatemala's internal armed conflict (1960-1996). This places Guatemala amongst the countries with the highest murder rates in Latin America, with approximately 44 murders per 100,000 inhabitants.(10)
The precise number of women who have been murdered continues to be disputed with the Public Ministry, the National Civilian Police (PNC) and the Judiciary generating and referring to different statistics.(11) Establishing a comprehensive overview of the statistics regarding both the numbers of women killed as well as the identity of the perpetrators is still therefore extremely difficult. According to the police unit charged with the investigation of murders of women in the department of Guatemala, during 2005 there were up to a total of 665 murders of women throughout the country - 246 murders of women in the department of Guatemala alone -- a 26 % increase from 2004 (527). (12)
Around 4,800 men were murdered in Guatemala in 2005. These cases also appear not to be investigated effectively with press reports indicating that only four percent of cases end in criminal sentences.(13) Many of the concerns expressed in this report apply equally to the failure to adequately investigate murders whether of men or women. Unlike the murders of men, however, in cases of women, the gender of the woman is a determining factor in the motive of the crime, the way women are killed (female victims often suffering exceptional brutality before being killed including rape, mutilation and dismemberment), and the way in which the authorities respond to the case.
It is difficult to establish a clear picture regarding the extent of the violence perpetrated against women or to draw conclusions regarding the identity or the motives of the perpetrators due to the poor quality of investigations and the absence of documentation regarding gender-based violence suffered by the victim prior to being killed. In the absence of thorough investigations, various non governmental organizations (NGOs) and other groups have presented their own investigations and analysis regarding the reasons behind the killings.(14)
According to research carried out by the Human Rights Ombudsman's Office (Procuradoría de Derechos Humanos -- PDH) in the majority (80%) of cases of murdered men they are killed using fire arms with no intimate physical contact between the victim and the perpetrator. In the case of women, however, 69% are murdered using a firearm and in 31% of cases the attackers use direct physical violence (knives, blunt objects, strangulation).(15) Many victims are raped, tortured or mutilated before being killed. According to the PDH, "the difference is that in the case of women they make them suffer more before being killed."(16)
Continued impunity for killings

In the first week of lower sixth, my art class went on a field trip to the Lake District. A whole week of painting and drawing, undisturbed and being at one with nature. At the start of the trip my teacher said, "After this week you will never see the world in the same way again. Everything will be a potential photograph or painting. You will always see the world through an artists eyes."
Mr Power was right, and some years later I was studying Fine Art at Lancaster University.
I chose Lancaster for a number of reasons. The art department has 24-hour studio access which was a real selling point. Being a professional artist isn't a 9-5 job, so if you wake from a crazy dream at 3am full of inspiration, then you could act on it. The lecturers would constantly emphasise the importance of 'studio culture', and the 24-hour access certainly helped with this. Students were able to work together outside of a formal structured learning situation which helped create a more professional environment.
Students are treated as professional artists from day one. This can be pretty daunting, as you are expected to be independent and self-motivated, but the lecturers were always there to guide us and provide weekly critiques.
This independence extended beyond 24-hour studio access to the field trips we took in the first and second year. A week in Berlin and New York respectively. The degree is what you make of it, and on the trips, we were trusted to structure the week to see the galleries we were most interested in. Both in Berlin and New York, my group chose the hardcore option of early rises and late finishes, packing in as many galleries as was humanly possible - with quite a bit of sightseeing and cocktail drinking in between. It all went fairly smoothly - although the photos of me looking confused at a map might suggest differently.
I think the hardest part of the degree was the workload. Juggling a full-time degree (studio practice and dissertation), a part-time job, relationships and the all-important volunteering and internships could prove to be quite taxing. But it also equipped me with excellent time management and organisational skills. The internships that I worked on were invaluable for my CV and finding a job after University. As one of my lecturers once said, 'network or die' - and this is certainly the case in the art world.
There is also a level of uncertainty with an art degree - it's not like a mathematical equation where there is a right or a wrong answer. You could pour your heart and soul in to a piece of work for viewers to just not get it. This could be heartbreaking, but it definitely helps you build a thick skin!
At Lancaster there is a real emphasis on becoming a professional in the art world - whether that is as a practicing artist, working for a gallery, or going on to further academia. The whole course is structured to provide you with the skills to enable this to happen.
The first year is fairly structured as you spend time completing projects in each of the different disciplines: painting, drawing, sculpture and digital. There is also the opportunity to work on group projects and collaborations, which help to promote the studio culture.
Being able to explore the different disciplines proved invaluable for me. As with many fledgling artists, I began the degree thinking I would be a painter or drawer - but by the end of the first year I was specialising in digital and performance. In both the studio sessions and art theory lectures we would constantly analyse what was important to us as artists – what did we value in art? E.g. visualness, the process of making art, or the meaning behind the work? My work was about people and society, and I felt performance and digital media was the best way for me to express my message.
Lancaster was definitely the best place for me as a digital artist as the staff really are experts in their field. One dilemma I faced was whether my dissertation lecturer would be flattered, or would think I was looking for brownie points for quoting one of his books in my thesis! In studio practice we would also have regular practical tutorials, or 'tech methods'. For the digital group this would range from how to use an SLR to creating an animation. Our lecturer would tailor these sessions to meet the group's needs.
The culmination of any art degree is your degree show. This is your opportunity to present yourself to the world as a professional artist. Students spend the year fund-raising, marketing, promoting themselves and putting together the exhibition catalogue. Organising the degree show equips students with skills that are transferable to the business world of art. I was responsible for the promoting of the show, which included social networking, inviting VIPs, applying for funding and gaining drinks sponsorship (It's not a decent exhibition if there isn't free booze). Through this I discovered my passion for arts marketing and went on to complete an internship in this area.
I now work for an arts marketing company in London, this is all thanks to the emphasis the Fine Art department gave me in the importance of networking, CV building and having a professional attitude. I can also thank Lancaster for allowing and encouraging me to be creative and expand my mind for three years. Understanding the history of art and the power that art can have - not just in reflecting what's happening in our world, but shaping it as well - has helped me to see the world in a different way.

Channel Web, responding to the early end of the latest big money ads and Vista's continued problems, declares the Seinfeld add campaign a failure.
Get a grip. The only way to fix Vista's PR woes is to fix the product itself. Read my lips. It hasn't worked properly from day one. Driver issues and compatibility issues have made the product in far too many cases simply unusable.
Great advertising or marketing can make a good product into a blockbuster product. But it can not transform a bad product into a great product. What's ironic is that Microsoft was once considered a master marketer that was able to marginalize the far superior Macintosh experience with flat out more aggressive marketing and salesmanship.
The author is delusionally optimistic about M$'s ability to fix things. Vista has been on the market for two years and was in development for at least five. If they can't get it right in seven years, they never will. A reasonable person would look at Vista's DRM and question M$ commitment to making things work for the user or sanity. Then again, the author believes XP can be secured. Only someone able to ignore that kind of failure could believe a system that is so openly hostile and restrictive will ever work.
Update: Steve Ballmer says M$ is all about advertisers too.

Hi in my school we have to make our subject choices before we do the actual junior cert so i am finding it difficult to decide what subjects to do (i go to an all girls school so no wood work , metal work ect..) I know that i will keep on a language and a science subject to keep my options open but i am unsure of what to do for my 3rd and 4th subject ? ANY IDEAS ? Thanks
go through LC exam papers
I heard ecnomics is actually realllyyyy good! I picked French , Biology ,Chemistry and Art as well as LCVP for LC. So maybe that can give you an idea
You have no woodwork metal work? Wow. I'm doing DCG, german, geography, physics and applied maths. Chose which class is more enjoyable and which subject is your best grades wise. Its the right thing to pick a science and a language so pick something that suits your learning style. If your practical do something maybe like home ec or another science or if your more into English do history or geography as they require more reading and learning off. If you are more logical do something like accounting or applied maths because they suit that kind of learning
Hey :)
I do both chemistry and biology (I'm in 6th year). Biology is very easy, especially if you prefer to learn stuff off - there's a lot of learning! It's not difficult to understand and there's also no maths element which is nice.
Chemistry is much more challenging but it's my favourite. It takes a while to get used to but it is well worth it if you think you may do something science related in college! (Having leaving cert chemistry will make 1st year a whole lot easier!) However, there is a maths aspect to chemistry - but not overly difficult! Be aware that chemistry is compulsory for some college courses - eg: veterinary.
I also do geography. Really interesting subject! Large volume of learning but if you're organised and learn your essays throughout 5th and 6th year, you'll be fine!
Hope that helps a bit,
best of luck in the junior cert :)

Just wondering because in Star Trek IV, the UT wasn't considered an option in communicating with the probe. What about Spock on EVA? Couldn't he have tried to talk to the probe al-a V'ger/Ilia?
Well, if the probe were draining all power from the ships, bases and planets in the area, it would seem likely that any attempt at an EVA would be doomed, as the power used to control the person's movement would be disabled. And we know that Spock has to be in physical contact with the subject in order to establish good two-way communication. As for the universal translator being an option for communicating with the probe, that's a good point. If the whalesong is supposed to be an actual form of language that allows for conversation between the probe and the whales, it would seem the UT should be able to translate it. But, as we know, the UT is a rather ambiguous concept that has come and gone and changed dramatically with the needs of the plot. It's ranged from a hand-held device used for specific needs to something embedded in a communicator that is constantly providing translation to apparently being completely forgotten and unused such as in TVH and TUC. So who knows what it can or can't do?
actually, we've seen Spock communicate through walls, by staring and with gloves on (TMP) Good point about the power drain and the UT. That wouldn't have worked.
We've seen him communicate in some fashion without direct contact, but have we ever seen him establish meaningful two-way communication without it? For example, he was able to plant a "suggestion" into the guard's mind in "By Any Other Name," but had to have physical contact with the Horta in "Devil in the Dark" in order to be able to have a dialogue with it.
Regarding power drain, the Probe didn't drain power from humans. So simply use a UT powered by the same sort of processes that run within the human body. That's a classic and pretty idiotic scifi cliche, really - that technology stops working, but somehow humans don't stop working. Let's face it: we are technology, too. We run on the very same processes that fire up our mobile phones or automobiles or submachine guns. If the alien entity of the week jams those technologies, odds are that we will perish in horrible pain as well. Regardless, I'd think the UT was already doing its automatic best at translating the Probe's rantings. It just wasn't having much success. We could speculate that most of the alien languages encountered by our heroes are relatively easy to decipher because they follow the same sort of patterns, inherent in the humanoid psyche and brain structure that is nearly identical across the galaxy. Or we could speculate that the UT is always slow in catching up with new languages, and that it only seems to be so fast and successful in standard ship-to-ship encounters with new aliens because standard ship-to-ship encounters involve the polite exchange of helpful data bursts between the respective computers before communications begin. The probe simply didn't send such a burst to the Federation UTs. Timo Saloniemi
EMP weapons destroy electronics, yet don't harm people. There's plenty of technology that can "jam" or "wipe out" technology but not harm humans.
Only unprotected technology, though. If you want to EMP out a computer circuit that has been properly protected, you're going to fry out the person holding that circuit in his pocket first. That's the classic conceit: that all scifi technology is jammable in a manner that doesn't harm the proximal lifeforms. In the usual case, one would assume that most technology would be far more robust than the corresponding biological functions in the target area, and that only a select few pieces of technology would be truly vulnerable to "nonlethal" weapons. Not so in scifi... Except for SG-1, perhaps. (But they, too, eventually manage to find a way to jam supposedly foolproof submachine guns without jamming O'Neill's digestion or knee joints. Although I trust the Tollan technology would have been able to selectively jam O'Neill's knee if he literally tried to kick Tollan ass.) Timo Saloniemi
No, they're TOUGH! They use those awful "Latin I" texts from the ancient high schools and work their way back to the future.

"That darn cat is at it again in the promotional service of the Chat Noir cabaret. The design was no doubt meant as a satirical comment on Mucha's posters, with Steinlen's well-travelled cat's long tail replacing the long tresses in Mucha's images and the halo here having the inscription "Mont-Joye-Montmartre." (Rennert, PAI-XLI 534) "Steinlen and his wife left for Paris in 1881, and he was soon introduced to Rudolphe Salis. Salis was an extravagant Swiss showman, who was to boast that 'God made the world, Napoleon set up the Legion of Honour, and I created the Montmarte.' He was in the process of setting up a new nightclub, the Chat Noir...Salis, always willing to help a fellow Swiss, commissioned him to execute some drawings of cats to scatter through out the Chat Noir. It soon became the regular meeting place of artists, composers and writers... In 1896 he (Steinlen) produced a poster for a provincial tour by Rodolphe Salis' Chat Noir company. This showed a black sinister, hieratic cat on a red slab."(Belle Epoque 53,55)
