"I'm really into sound collages and I love recording sounds and then taking them and putting them places they shouldn't have been," James told Rolling Stone of his recording techniques. "I want people to feel like [the album] helps their life in some way, or that it helps them celebrate or helps them mourn or laugh or cry. I just want it to feel useful." James also said that he plans to tour next year. "I want to tour for this record and I'm gonna bring a band 'cause I want to play the record as it is recorded, with all the instrumentation," he said, "but then I'm sure I'll probably do a couple of songs each night acoustic and stuff like that but I want this show to be more of a more danceable affair."

Thanks for posting the link to this. I have forwarded it to many friends. Thanks again! -Danno
I have sunflowers in the garden, but they frequently have no honeybees on them! Does that mean I have a low population? How many more hives should I get...:)
Many of the hybrid sunflowers have no pollen for the bees. The original wild sunflower is the one you want according to the web site.
I found the link to where to buy them, but the poster had the link to a hybrid.
Here is the correct link to the wild sunflower that they want you to use. http://www.americanmeadows.com/Wildf...owerseeds.aspx
1/4 lb for 7.95 they say a lb contains over 20,000 seeds so a 1/4 lb should be about 5000 of them. That should plant a pretty nice garden.
I'm a bit fuzzy on how this "Great Sunflower Project" will help, even after reading the "How Will the Great Sunflower Project Help" section on the site. Sounds like a great way to sell sunflower seeds.
When I read "urban poor, who spend 50-70% of their income on food", with no references to this supposed "fact", I became a skeptic.
Here are some findings on food expenditures as a share of disposable income:
I have been told (so I cannot verify the correctness of it) that sunflower pollen is a low grade inferior pollen and the honeybees will only work it if there is no other better source to be found.
I planted some food plots this spring for wildlife. I have over an acre of sunflowers spread around my property and have not seen my homeybee's on them ever! I hope they get something out of them but I dont see honeybee's taking a shine to them.
lol "homey". I recon I have about as many gangsta's in my neck o da woods as over your way! Nobody said I could spell!!!!!!lol good eye riverrat!
Yup I have about 1.5 acres of sunflowers for dove hunting and havent seen one honeybee on them. I have however seen several bumblebees. Next year I plan on planting a large plot of white clover. Does anyone know of any other wild flowers that would benefit bees?
While the sunflower seed (black oil) volunteers from the bird feeder grew and when they bloomed they had honey bees all over them. There were mints, clover and other blooms also with bees all over all but the dandelions and a couple other blooms that had no honey bees on them. I have noticed that I have never seen a honey bee on grey stripe (?) sunflowers or the huge nine and ten foot monster plants. Come to thionk of it I've never seen a bird on them either, just the black oil.
My son-in-law gave me some of the large 10-12ft. high sunflowers seed last spring. I planted them and they are now large flowers ,only bumble bees and wasp are working them. I was going to save enough seed to plant the whole field next year .However I am not interested in planting for BB's .
The 10-12 footers are hybrids. In order for honey bees to like them they have to be the original wild sunflower plant.
See my link to the original wild sunflowers in an earlier post.
Wild sunflowers are only 2-3 feet tall and the flowers are proportionately smaller too.
I'm going to order some and give it a go next spring. Last frost here in FL is Feb 15th, so about Valentines day is my planting goal.

Session 1: Pumping at the Microbial Well
Section 1: Advanced Plant to Advanced Fuel
Presented by Jay D. Keasling,
In order to produce long-chain carbon compounds for diesel and jet fuels, it is possible to engineer bacteria like E. coli to produce them the way they produce long fatty acids for their membranes, but in a better form for extraction. Also, plants produce many terpene compounds for defense, such as bisabolene, that can also be good for fuel, and bacteria can be engineered to produce these too, but it can be tricky due to these compounds' toxicity.
Paper on good efflux pumps for biofuel production: Dunlop et al, 2011, Mol. Sys. Biol. 7:487 doi: 10.1038/msb.2011.21
Section 2: Is There a Path to Cellulosic Biofuels?
Presented by Thomas W. Jeffries
His main point was that the use of fossil fuels should be a transitional state between the pre-industrial era and a sustainable system of renewable energy. Fossil fuels should be an investment in the future, not something we should build our whole infrastructure around. They are going to run out someday, after all.

Session 2: Uncovering the Function of Unknown Proteins
Section 1: Evolution and the Proteome: Insights into Protein Function from Deeply Conserved Gene Modules
Presented by Edward Marcotte
How should one go about figuring out the function of unknown proteins? Possibly by comparing homologs in other, even distantly related organisms. Even homologous genes in yeast and humans can have similar functions. And of the ~500 essential proteins in yeast that have human homologues, 60% of them can be replaced with the human version and the yeast will still be viable.
Section 2: Small Proteins Can No Longer Be Ignored
Presented by Gisela Storz
Her group has discovered some bacterial proteins smaller than 50 amino acids long, that seem to be related to metal metabolism.

Inhaltsangabe: What caused the fall of Rome? Since Gibbon's day scholars have hotly debated the question and come up with answers ranging from blood poisoning to rampant immortality. In recent years, however, the most likely explanation has been neglected: was it not above all else a military collapse? Professor Ferrill believes it was, and put forth his case in this provocative book.

Eating habits among Canterbury women became unhealthier after the earthquakes to cope with stress, a study has revealed.
Canterbury University psychology expert Dr Roeline Kuijer said women who suffered post-traumatic stress after the quakes reported unhealthier eating habits and were more likely to choose food for mood and familiarity reasons.
"Women with higher levels of self-control were more likely to maintain choosing food for health reasons and natural content. Scores on an earthquake impact index - looking at issues like damage, financial strain, whether or not people had power or water - was unrelated to changes in eating habits or motives for food choice."
Rolleston woman Dianne Matthews whose North New Brighton house was destroyed in the February earthquake, said her eating habits changed due to the stress of dealing with insurance issues.
"It felt like each meal could have been my last, that's why I did it. It was a matter of convenience with food. There was no power or water so it was a case of putting a can of spaghetti on the barbecue instead of eating healthy food.
My vegetable garden had fresh produce in it but it was full of liquefaction so I couldn't eat that. I ate a lot of canned food and packet meals, not fresh food," she said.
"It was a stressful event. It was like someone had shaken a snow globe. It was utter chaos. You gave yourself excuses to eat unhealthy and you had more important issues to deal with rather than worrying about what you ate. I lost the discipline to continue to try and eat healthy. You had to deal with EQC and insurance issues."
She moved to Rolleston after the quakes.
"I eat less chocolate now that I've got back on track. I feel like I am almost back to normality. It did take a lot of months for people who were struggling to start to feel normal again. People are still going through the hard yards with their insurance companies and EQC," she said.
The university study, started in 2007 but the focus changed after February 2011 and it became a study that looked at health, well being and eating habits as a result of the earthquakes.
"This is the first study in New Zealand and possibly internationally that has examined eating habits and food choices before and after a natural disaster," said Dr Kuijer.
"Our study started in 2007 but the focus changed after February 2011 and it became a study that looked at health, well being and especially eating habits because of the earthquakes.
"The fact that we had participants before the earthquakes makes this study unique.
"They were all Canterbury residents mostly middle aged and 75 per cent of them were women. For the research questions relating to eating habits only the responses of women were used.
"We asked them what they ate each day, whether they ate junk food and how much they ate. Until after the earthquakes eating habits were fairly stable. Following the February 2011 earthquake participants started reporting unhealthier eating patterns.
"We were interested in whether food choice had changed after the quakes. What they loved to eat to help them cope with stress, easy food to prepare and familiarity became more important in their food choice," Dr Kuijer said.
Respondents mostly preferred food that made them happy and natural content became less important.

annual gross sales, burlington community, CSA, Food Hub, food system, Intervale, Intervale Center, Intervale Farms, local food, real food, vermont farmers
Have you seen our big white truck around town? Or heard about a friend's Food Hub CSA share and wondered, "What is this all about? What is a Food Hub anyway?"
The Intervale Food Hub is a growing enterprise of the Intervale Center that markets and distributes local food (hence the word "hub"). The Food Hub's goal is to provide the greater Burlington community access to high-quality foods while returning a fair price to farmers. Over 20 Vermont family farms sell products to hundreds of community members right where they work through a multi-farm CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program. This program also delivers shares to public schools and Burlington-area colleges.
Here's how the CSA works: farmers deliver their products — be they sausages, yogurt, tomatoes, frozen fruit, or kohlrabi — to the Food Hub. Food Hub staffers sort and pack the products into customized CSA shares that are then delivered in handy orange shopping carts right to customers' workplaces, so they don't even need to stop at the grocery store on their way home!
Projected growth of this important enterprise shows $1.1 million in annual gross sales by 2016, with $700,000 returned to Vermont farmers.
But the Food Hub isn't just bringing more local food to more consumers, it's also opening new markets to farmers. Over 50% of Food Hub customers each year are new to the concept of CSA entirely — and, with a season of CSA membership under their belts, they're more likely to feel comfortable choosing and buying local food at farmers' markets and retailers.
As Eric Seitz and Rob Rock of Pitchfork Farm stated,
As our farm has grown, much of our success is due to the innovation and foresight of the Intervale Food Hub. Almost overnight, a whole new market became available to us. We would never have been able to achieve that without the Food Hub. To us, it really is the future model of local food distribution!
Finally, the Food Hub's impact extends far beyond Chittenden County – our work has had a statewide and national impact. We've been sharing our model with other groups seeking to build or expand local food networks. As Kate Collier of the Local Food Hub in Charlottesville, Virginia, said,
There is nothing more valuable and inspiring than actually seeing the Intervale first hand. The Intervale team has worked on community food systems for over 20 years, so they continue to be a valuable resource for us as the Local Food Hub works through the many opportunities and inevitable challenges that come with maturity.
With spring shares underway and summer share signup just beginning, the Food Hub is gearing up for another great summer of moving local food forward!

A drunksexual is one who is willing to experiment with a person whom is of the same gender or different orientation only when drunk. Drunksexuals are generally looked down upon in the homosexual community as can be seen by the Lesbian outcry for the drunksexual national anthem, "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry. If you make out with someone sober often but need to get drunk to sleep with them, that does not make you a drunksexual.
"Oh my Gawd! I'm so gotdamn wasted. That girl's lookin' sexy!!!"
"Oh Malysa you're such a drunksexual!"
"Oh Malysa you're such a drunksexual!"

actually use a template so that i dont have to measure the holes all the time... but you still need to check and work from that front hole!
there is a good bit of trimming to do on that area and you can tget too far into the spring in the front either...
just some careful planning is all it takes.
Thanks for the come back. I assume one could use the holes in an ar15 receiver to make a template to work from to maintain the proper relation of the pins and parts. I'm on the road and working from memory and your pictures on interior layout of the frame. The spring you refer to is the mag catch spring, correct?
yes its the mag catch spring in that front "inner housing".... there is actually a template here on the site that you can print off for your ARfcg holes.. its been a while but i did see it here.
it actually came from an old SGN article and someone scanned it in and PDF'd it.
i took that and cut out a little plate and drilled it to exactly the right spots and trimmed it for use on these tommy's and then thats how i spot them and work them around to take any guess work out of the location... but as we mentioned eaerlier ive done quite a few of the tommy's now.
a guy only doing one just needs to locate that hammer hole, make sure it clears all and then spot the rear one as well.
Dutigaf- Thanks for the tip. Found a drawing posted on this site by KernalKrink that had the pin layout measurements. Now to get home and get started. Need to find the front piece with barrel threads and extractor holes and I should be good to go. Thanks again.

Cipriani's Key Player
Talking travel with the newly minted dean of the Ibiza scene
GIUSEPPE CIPRIANI GREW up in Venice, where he watched his father and grandfather run Harry's Bar and the Hotel Cipriani. The third-generation restaurateur and hotelier moved in 1985 to New York to work on expanding the family business, which now encompasses over 20 venues, from London to Abu Dhabi. There are 10 Cipriani outlets in the U.S., including a Los Angeles hotel called Mr. C Beverly Hills, and five restaurants, with a sixth to open in Miami later this month.
Since late 2011, Mr. Cipriani has split his time between London and Ibiza, Spain. He has a house outside the Ibiza town of Jesus and entertains on Gin Tonic, the company's 121-foot yacht. Though the 47-year-old is no stranger to life's sybaritic pleasures, he maintains that overseeing the business remains his passion. Last year saw the opening of the restaurant Downtown Ibiza. The nightclub Bomba Ibiza will open this summer.
The lifestyle mogul, who took a hit in 2007 when he and his father, Arrigo, pleaded guilty in the U.S. to tax evasion and were ordered to pay back taxes of $10 million, is again in fine form. He finds himself traveling internationally at least once a month. He also spends a week at his house in Punta del Este, Uruguay, every winter. Mr. Cipriani spoke from his boat in an Ibiza marina about how he found his sea legs and the difficulty of keeping in touch with old friends.
On sensible luggage
I always carry a Tumi carry-on case when I travel. Simple, elegant, strong.
On traveling in good company
My ideal companion would always be a smart, funny and interesting woman.
On the life aquatic
I come from a city built on water, and it doesn't feel right when I spend too much time away from the sea.
On discovering Ibiza
I first came here with friends when I was 19. Holidays with the boys were a new thing. We'd just got our driving licenses and so we were making the most of it. I have driven many different cars in my life, but these days my little Fiat Panda is perfect for getting around the island.
On finding his sea legs
When I was a kid I got seasick. My father used to take me fishing and I would get sick, but then it just went away. Now I love it when I'm on my boat and it's rocking. It sends me to sleep.
On yacht mooring
I think the Marina Ibiza might be the most expensive in the world. The prices stifle life at the marina in the winter, the low season. I guess it works for the owners, but as a client I wish they could be more reasonably priced.
On running around
I cannot express the feeling of freedom I get from running on the beaches of Formentera [an island south of Ibiza]. Incredible.
On traveling light
I wear the same shirts every night, made by the same shirt maker in Venice I've used since I was a kid. My father uses them also. And because I like to travel with as little luggage as possible, I keep fresh shirts in New York, Venice, Ibiza, as well as on my boat.
On Italian brands
I am loyal to what I think is good quality, which most of the time coincides with an Italian brand. I love Tod's shoes and leather accessories.
On keeping in touch
I hate both phone and email. I'm more of a face-to-face person, but I'll call if I need to get something done. I only learned how to text so I could communicate with bankers in the U.S. Nobody ever answers their phone there.
On keeping odd hours
As kids in Venice, we weren't allowed in the family restaurants very often. We would eat before the restaurant opened, at 11:30 a.m. or 6 p.m. Working in restaurants, you tend to work when other people are enjoying themselves. So you have to learn to enjoy other times of the day.
On his favorite retreat
My Christmas vacations are always in Punta del Este in Uruguay. I've had a house there for 20 years.
On restaurants that get it right
Two of my favorites are Can Pau in Ibiza in the winter for its coziness, and La Grenouille in New York for the great service and beautiful flowers.
On international dining
Eating habits have changed, mostly because of Asian influences. Japanese and Chinese people tend to share more, and I think we're learning from that.
On zeroing in
To relax, I like playing backgammon, because it takes all my attention. There are so few times in a day when you really have to focus on one thing. I like car racing for the same reason—you have to focus completely. Otherwise you'll crash.
On the nature of friendship
I think you change friends as you go through life. I moved to New York in 1985, so it's been hard to stay friends with the people I grew up with. The friends you have today are the people that you make space for in your life.
On canine companions
I have 10 dogs. Golden retrievers, a bulldog, a beagle. They're called Fettuccine, Bruno and Cips, to name a few. I keep them in Uruguay, where they are in very good hands.
On the morning after
The first thing I do when I wake up is have an espresso, one of several I will drink throughout the day, including one after dinner. Segafredo makes the best coffee.

Corrections & Amplifications
The nightclub Bomba Ibiza was incorrectly called La Bomba Ibiza in an earlier version of this article.

Here in beautiful Cowtown Ks. we haven't had a real hard freeze yet. We still have green leaves and blooming plants all around.
However, seventy five miles north east up at the farm in the beautiful and seanic Kansas Flinthills, it's D-E-D dead. No blooms, no where.
Well, it was absolutely beautiful this weekend, balmy, high sixtys, and the girls were out and buzzin' everywhere. And the only thing they could find they liked was the horse feed, and they love it!
Dear old dad put out the feed for his 'girls', about a gallon and a half each per horse, of his special blend of rolled grain and the horses couldn't get past the bees to eat. The bees absolutely covered the grain to the point that you could hardly see it. The grain bin door looked like the front of hive getting ready to swarm. The word was out and every forraging bee from twenty three hives were working overtime, a virtual feeding frenzie.
Muzzles getting stung, whinniening, and thrashing about, heals up in the air, starving horses, and it's all my fault... good thing it was my birthday, or I'd be sleepin with the hounds.
We got them fed before it got up into the fortys today so the poor ponies didn't starve, but dad says he's gonna need more honey next year for all the horse feed the bees are carrying off.
Bullseye Bill

Linda J Harris wrote:
I have macros with names `antigen01' to `antigen40'
I want to create a two way graph with the following:
1) scatter plots with a variable # of these items (approx 5 and not in numeric
order), each with a different marker
2) linear fits for the same items, with lines in the same color as the markers
3) a linear fit that is based on the aggregate selection of items following to
a selection of these antigens (say approx 5):
If possible, I would like to use a loop with a foreach statement rather than
having to modify the specific items and # of items each time i ran this.
I know that the last line is wrong - just have no idea how to accomplish this
This is my first posting - hope I've done it right! I'm also new to Stata
programming, so hope this isn't too trivial a question.
example - say want `antigen01', `antigen04' `antigen05'
twoway ///
(scatter yvar xvar if ANTIGEN==`antigen01', mcolor(red)) ///
(lfit yvar xvar if ANTIGEN==`antigen01', lcolor (red)) ///
(scatter yvar xvar if ANTIGEN==`antigen04', mcolor(green)) ///
(lfit yvar xvar if ANTIGEN==`antigen04'), lcolor(green) ///
(scatter yvar xvar if ANTIGEN==`antigen05', mcolor(blue)) ///
(lfit yvar xvar if ANTIGEN==`antigen05', lcolor(blue)) ///
(lift yvar xvar if ANTIGEN oneof [`antigen01' `antigen04' `antigen5'],
If I understand what you're trying to do correctly, then you'll probably want to
write a little ditty ado-file to call with your desired list of antigens as the
argument. Something like that below. It will create the bunch of
individual-antigen scatterplots and line-fit plots and the pooled-data line-fit
plot and leave them all behind in memory, each with a unique name that you can
then refer to them by.
Usage would be something like:
graphem my_antigen40 my_antigen2 my_antigen35
<do what you want to do with the graphs>
graphem my_antigen2 my_antigen5 my_antigen18 my_antigen29
<do what you want to do with the graphs>
and so on.

One of the distinctive aspects of Ball State and our department is that we take a hands-on approach to learning.
Research is very important at the undergraduate and graduate levels. About 80 percent of our students do research with us, and you can begin research as early as your freshman year. You can even take advantage of a special summer program that's a model for other universities.
Poster sessions are just one of the research opportunities you'll have to prepare you for life after Ball State. The sessions allow you to learn the skills and protocol necessary to present to members of the American Chemical Society (ACS).
The idea is that one day, you will be presenting at an ACS meeting, and we need to get you prepared as soon as possible.

Central Oregonians give back on 'Day of Service'
Hundreds of volunteers help honor King's legacy
BEND, Ore. - For many, it was a relaxing day off -- but for hundreds in Central Oregon, Martin Luther King Jr. Day was a busy "day on."
"When we get to go in and get our hands dirty and do great stuff for the community and see our result, it's so much fun," said Americorps Vista Program member Alyssa Bostian.
Groups, volunteers and organizations around the High Desert participated in a wide variety of service projects, including building a chicken run at a local school, making quilts for needy children and crafting flower arrangements for hospice patients.
These projects and a couple of dozen others were organized by Volunteer Connect.
And despite a chilly morning, event organizer Natasha Smith says giving back is a blast.
"It feels great -- that was what we were trying to promote people to kind of give back to the community and make it a day on and not off," Smith said. "And it was great that people were inquiring about it, and just really wanted to give back."
While some tools used Monday were better suited for big hands, there was no shortage of little hands pitching in.
"There's a lot of kids here just helping to help homeless people and were working with the KIDS Center and stuff," said a young girl making quilts.
Charlene Schulz with 'After School Buddies' told NewsChannel 21 the organization's quilt projects for the KIDS Center and their dog food drive for homeless pet owners are also about teaching kids the importance of community.
"One of the little quilt squares said, 'You are loved.' Another one says 'You are not forgotten' And so they get it -- it's not just a craft project, it's actually a gift of service," Schulz said.
Martin Luther King Jr. once said "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'" And on Monday, Central Oregonians answered that question, helping to fulfill Dr. King's living legacy.
If you want to learn more about giving back to your community as a volunteer, there are plenty of opportunities year-round: visit http://www.volunteerconnectnow.org/

Behold, my ultimate signature dish! Before this book, only two people had the recipe, but I want to share it with you because it's too good to be kept under wraps. I'm not even going to be modest: I think one of my crunchy chicken nibbles dunked in creamy blue cheese sauce is as close to taste perfection as you can get - and my friends and family agree! We've spent many a sunny afternoon on the deck with a cold beer in hand, a giant pile of wings in front of us, great music playing and a game of cards on the go. Now you can do the same. Enjoy!
Serves 4
• 1 free-range egg
• 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 cup rice bran or canola oil
• 100g blue cheese, chopped roughly
• 1-2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
• salt and pepper
Hot sauce
• 100g butter
• 1 x 60ml bottle Tabasco
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• ¾ cup plain flour
• 2 tsp salt
• 1-2kg chicken nibbles
• rice bran or canola oil for frying
•carrot and celery sticks to serve
1. To make the aioli, place the egg, garlic and lemon juice in a small food processor and blend until well mixed. With the motor running, slowly add the oil in a thin stream. The mixture will thicken.
2. Add the blue cheese and parsley, and process until well combined. Taste and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Set aside.
3. To make the sauce, slowly melt the butter in a small saucepan without stirring. Gently pour the yellow liquid into a bowl, leaving the white milk solids behind. Discard the milk solids. Add the whole bottle of Tabasco, paprika, sugar and salt, and whisk to combine. Set aside.
4. Preheat the oven to 50°C.
5. Mix the flour and salt in a bowl, then toss the nibbles in the mixture to coat. You may need more flour and salt, depending on how many nibbles you have. Set aside while you heat the oil.
6. Fill a saucepan with enough oil to half submerge the nibbles and heat to medium-high. Cook the chicken in batches for around 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with salt and place in the oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining nibbles.
You can either coat the chicken in the hot sauce, or serve it on the side as a dip along with the blue cheese aïoli. Add some carrot and celery sticks to the plate to serve.

Very fast service and friendly staff. Reasonable prices too and will consider using the garage for work in the future
Courteous & efficient, would recommend
Great job, amazing people!
Very fast efficient service would definitely recommend to friends and family
Work carried out quickly and correctly.I dropped my car off at 9am and was called back by 11am to say the work had been completed.Would definitely use again.Thanks.
Excellent customer service gives confidence that the service was done well.
Yes was good experience
Really good service for front brake pads. They rang me and informed me at all stages required. Quick and efficient ... nice garage too.
excellent service, I was kept well informed through out the day of any work that needed doing and it was completed quicker than expected, would definitely use their services again
This is the first time I've been to Mike Brewer Motors. Took 2 year old Fiesta for interim service and because of the location walked into town centre rather than wait. The service took 2½ hrs rather than the 1½ to 2 hrs stated but that wasn't a problem. When I went to pick up the car it was gleaming. Communication was very good, with reminders and a follow-up courtesy call. The free health check identified a driveshaft oil seal leak that needed attention. I was able to have this fixed under warranty saving me £176 so many thanks to Mike Brewer Motors for that.
Very happy with the service the garage provided, i would certainly use them again
Very good service
Very good garage. I will recommend them for fast and professional assistant. They helped me a lot.
Convenient location in the centre of town. Got the service done quickly on a Saturday morning. Very easy.
Good service.
No problems, happy with everything, would recommend,
Great people and got the job done a.s.a.p
Reasonable prices. Had a few other things done the same day. Quick and friendly!
Recomend for fast friendly sevice and good value
Really friendly staff, got the car sorted quickly and i came away happy with the work done.
I took my car to Industry autos with an ABS fault on my Citroen Picasso C4. They fitted a new wheel sensor but after a few minutes driving the same fault came back up.I had just paid £139 for nothing. I was told it was a computer fault and could be fixed for £350 plus vat, £450 pounds in total. I took my car to Evans Halshaw Citroen dealers, They carried out a technical assessment and said it wanted a new brake pedal switch costing £11 50, there was nothing wrong with the computer, it just wanted all the faults erasing from the system.Total bill was £142, I could have paid £450 and it would not have fixed the problem. The car was also valeted ,an excellent job all round, If you have a problem with your car go to your main dealer, it is cheaper in the log run,they know what they are doing.
Good friendly service, honest, given clear options on cheaper vs more expensive parts. Will definitely use again.
very prompt response from this garage who did a home visit and diagnosed the problem on-site. Provided a very professional and friendly service. Explained in detail the problem in detail and offered options on how to fix the problem. Pleased with both quality of work and price. Highly recommend.
Would recommend garage, but not impressed with Who Can Fix My Car booking system, had to do it direct myself. Car was being done when I received email that it was booked in the day after.
Happy with work carried out!

Movie Review: Prometheus
Rebello reviews Ridley Scott's much-anticipated Alien prequel...well, not exactly prequel.
Director: Ridley Scott MPAA Rating: R Studio: 20th Century Fox
It can be frustrating to watch a new science fiction flick, all the while fantasizing about how much better it would have been had director Ridley Scott been at the helm. It's even more dispiriting to sit through Prometheus, Scott's much-anticipated sorta Alien prequel, and think the same thing. But let's face it: the futuristic movie that marks the great Scott's return to the genre after a 30-year absence is, unlike the director's earlier Alien and Blade Runner, no game-changer, no groundbreaker. Instead, it's an enjoyable, intelligent film with age-old philosophical underpinnings – and gross-out gore. For much of its excellent first half, Prometheus, set in 2093, investigates such questions as who were those Alien creatures, what were their motives and who made them – in other words, what's life in this universe all about?
An idealistic scientist (Noomi Rapace) is exhilarated by her discovery of cave paintings thousands of years old that depict extraterrestrials landing on Earth; this sends her and a crew of 17 experts and grunts on a trillion-dollar expedition to a solar system far, far away. In the end, though, after Scott and screenwriters Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof throw around lots of lofty questions, symbols, allusions and provocative imagery, the movie runs out of steam and ideas and descends into no more than an alien vs. human all-you-can-eat smorgasbord. That's a shame, because Prometheus is so visually ravishing with stunning special effects, especially in 3D. But the characterizations are thin and one-note, leaving most of its talented cast members (like Charlize Theron stuck in deep-freeze Ice Queen mode) without much interesting to say or do before they get chomped, stomped or otherwise iced. One exception is Michael Fassbender, who is witty, inventive and oddly sympathetic as a dutiful, androgynous HAL-like robot harboring a trick or two up his sleeve and a mighty Peter O'Toole/Lawrence of Arabia fixation. Rapace, the original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, is certainly up to the physical demands made on her, and although she gets to do some of the movie's juicier scare scenes, those scenes disintegrate into the gelatinous goo of illogic even while you're watching them.
Beware of high expectations. They can be crushing.

FIRST OF ALL - I'm dissapointed it took Game Revolution a whole week to review this game. IGN had the first review I saw online, before I wrote mine on Epinions.
Second, the singleplayer isn't garbage. Its a mishmash of incredible visuals held together by a ridiculous plot. The game really, really reached hard to try and one up itself again and again, but by the time I got to the White house battle, I was getting bored.
This game is all about the Multiplayer and I'm dissapointed to say that the first game's was better although this game definitely packs more content.
Maps are incredibly huge, and incredibly detailed. The AIRPORT map definitely takes the cake with a huge terminal and an airplane to get on and snipe from. Unfortunately all of these maps have been DESTROYED by this game's development team to take away every possible cover you could have. Just when you think you have backed into a corner, you turn around to realize there is a huge open space behind you - with enemies closing in. Just when you thought you'd found a great sniper nest, you get shot or blown up. There are roughly 3 to 4 entrances to every sincle position. That's REALLY ANNOYING. This time around, bullets pass through walls like they are looseleaf paper. If you get spotted YOU ARE DEAD. AND YOU WILL BE SPOTTED.
#1 What's the point of being a sniper in a Ghillie suit if you are easy to spot? For a game that wants to make itself feel realistic, going out of its way to make everyone notice you seems...wrong.
If you kill someone, the killcam (which you can't turn off) lets them know exactly where you are. Add to that, the game spawns them less than 20 meters from you and even points them in your direction. Isn't the point of a sniper to be undetectable ?
#2 The game has a ridiculous number of killstreak bonuses. This isn't bad, but why does the game let you call in multiple helicopters or ...ahem..."B2 Spirit carpet bombings?" Not to mention predator drone missiles. The most difficult bonus to get is the tactical nuke which ends the game by killing everyone, but getting 25 kills in a row to get it is ridiculously hard and you'd have to be hiding and camping to possibly get it.
I got a 30 kill streak, but I had to camp the exact same spot for an entire match.
#3 I'm not as angry at the killstreaks as I am with the games weapon customization. While I like having to complete challenges to unlock new technologies, why is it I need to use a perk to equipt my gun with 2 attachments. Why is it I can't simply attach the scope I want and the silencer I want without all the bullshit? Even Rainbow 6 Vegas felt less contrived.
Yes many people will like this perk "bling" that lets you attach two devices to your rifle, but you really need the "scavenger" perk because the game puts you constantly in situations without enough ammo.
#4 You are NEVER, EVER SAFE. Not even for a moment. You shoot someone then get shot in the back. You peek out a window and get shot in the head. You try to run from one building to the next and either you get:
a) hit with a predator drone missile, b) hit with a helicopter's cannon, c) hit with shells from an AC130 Spectre ,d) hit with bullets from harrier jets, e) bombed by B2 Spirits or sniped from the other side of the map.
The Spawn point system sucks.
The killcam sucks and you should be able to vote it offline
The floating name above your head which gives you away sucks.
the computer guided grenades that land at your feet when thrown from 100 yards away suck.
This game has been tailor cut for accessibility for little kids that shouldn't even be allowed to play it since they aren't 18.
I know lots of people are going to disagree with me, but the first game had less glitz and glamour and was actually the better game.
Hurts me to say that since this game probably has the best graphics and best visual presentation of any game on the market - including Crysis, but, its how I feel about it. Its too difficult and too frustrating for all the wrong reasons.

Reviews of this property
We are delighted with our stay in Milan. The apartment is exceptionally spacious and very clean. We were able to cook small dinners in the kitchen is very well equipped. In addition, the apartment is located near a metro station and we were in the center of Milan in a few minutes. The proximity of a supermarket was also very helpful. Small bonus, the shuttle bus to Malpensa Airport is 2 minutes walk! We recommend this place with great pleasure! Is October 1 !!
Nous sommes enchantés de notre séjour à Milan. L'appartement est d'une propreté exceptionnelle et très spacieux. Nous avons pu préparer de petit repas le soir dans la cuisine qui est très bien équipée. De plus, l'appartement est situé à proximité d'une station de métro et nous étions au centre de Milan en quelques minutes seulement. La proximité d'un supermarché était aussi très utile. Petit bonus, la navette pour se rendre à l'aéroport Malpensa est à 2 minutes à pied! Nous recommandons cet endroit avec grand plaisir! C'est un 10!!
Io e la mia ragazza ci siamo trovati molto bene nell'appartamento di Filiberto a Milano, è stato un soggiorno veramente bello e l'appartamento era molto pulito e in ordine. Molto spazioso, confortevole e facile da raggiungere grazie alla metro. Il padrone di casa è stato gentilissimo e ci ha spiegato tutto molto bene. L'unico problemino era la doccia che a volte era fredda e non capivamo perché non uscisse l'acqua calda... Tutto sommato è stato un viaggio davvero piacevole.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Me and my wife spend 4 days at Milan staying at the flat. The location of the flat is very convenience, close to central station from where you can take bus to Malpensa airport and main trains put of Milano like Venice, Como lake etc. Alos the shopping area is a short walk about 20 minutes which we didnt bother. Walking around the town is better rather than taking taxis and busses. You get to know the city better and see all shops. Near the flat is the big skycryper of Unicredit and a small financial center. Is the area where you can see all new skycrypers and new buildings. There is also a near supermarket at the near plaza which is very cheap. The decoration of the flat is very old which looks better from wimdu pictures. Its one bedroon flat with living room , kitchen and bathroom. Bedroom is a reasonable size with retro furniture. The wifi was not working and ask the landlor to fix it. Till the day we left nothing happened. Wonder if they have fixed it. Looking back to old reviews some others had the same problem and now i wonder if they ever had a workable wifi. We had one set of towel each with not replacement. The bedroom was very well climate with the central heating working all day. Hot water was 27/7 however we had a bit of problem is shower. Hot water could not stay all time same tempreture which was annoy. Also when another person was using other water tap the water was becaming very cold. Windows was very old single glase and difficult to open or close. TV had many channels including some english ones. Bed sheets was not clean so we asked for fresh ones who have provided. The landlord claimed that the sheets were cleaned but they offered fresh ones. Overall cleanless of the flat was not up my standard if i compare with a hotel i would say a 2 star bedroom. If you dont mind the flat contintion but you prefer a good location then go for it. You get what you pay.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We had a nice stay. The water was cold and we sent a sms and it tok them 20 min ti fix it. Close to metro and Close to the things you want to se. 3 min to supermarket. 2 min to metro. I can recoment this Place.
A pleasant place to stay in Milano. 10 min walk from Central Station, service was good and informations helpful.
For questions answer mail was always quick and kind so no stress of organizing the trip. Room was clean stylish comfortable for short stay of mine.
Perfect location for city holidays. Recommandable!
The apartment was nice and clean and had working AC. It was nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. A great thing was that the renters had put out different trashcans for easy recycling.
Another thing to mention was how sweet and caring the renters were! Really helpful, me and my friends were overall very pleased with this stay!
My daughter and her partner went to the appartment. Picking up the keys was easy and convenient. Location of the appartment couldn't be better, near the metro and supermarket. Inside it was really noisy, next to a heavy door that people banged shut. Two of the nights the neighbours upstairs moved furniture around for more than an hour around 2.30 in the morning it was terrible. When you are out all day walking you really need to sleep.
A nice little lamp would be cosy instead of the bright light.

Ive been looking into gettin a small enclosed trailer to put all my goose decoys, duck decoys, layout blinds, and what not so it is easy for me to just hook up and go after school and not have to load and unload my truck all the time and i can just keep them locked up in there. i know i want swing open doors not a drop down gate because they can get jammed up with mud and not close. so i was wondering what is a good size for say up to 6-8 doz decoys, up to 4 layouts, blind bags, and waders ?
i was thinking in the 5x8 or 5x10 range? something easy to pull around, and small

Explore a 7-step approach to exercise and lifestyle by Dr. Nicholas DiNubile, a well-respected and famed orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine and presenter at the ACE Symposium. Fitness professionals are on the front lines in promoting optimal health in an aging population. Find out how you can preserve function and durability among your clients and prevent deterioration of musculoskeletal fitness.
You will learn:
Excellent course!
Good info
Good use of graphics to illustrate the teaching points. Makes one want to create exercise programs for orthopaedically challenged clients. Further study is warranted in order to be able to do that.
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for the feedback Philip!
I had issues with the test at the end. Although I passed, it was a real pain to get the the test in the first place & then when taking it, it would not let you go back (although there was a button for it) and make any changes. It would only let you skip.
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for your feedback, Lisa. We are looking into the issue of the quiz and will be fixing the error as soon as possible. Thanks again for letting us know!
Very helpful overview -- not much depth, but high quality for what it is.
A must read for current and future fitness professionals!
The information presented was eye-opening and will give me much to talk about when I do my public speaking. The format (video), however, took too much of my time for the CEC credit that it earned. I will not likely purchase CEC's in this format again.
The charts and tables used in this lecture were not on screne long enough for study. Subject is very interesting. Seems like a book promotion rather than a continuing education offering.
Excellent topic and presenter.
It was a lot of statistics that as trainer for a long time I have heard in several lectures and articles and news papers over the years. It seems to me that it was more of an advertisement for the good doctors book. Some of those exercise modifications for the slew of framework problems would have been much more helpful for A.C.E. trainers specifically A.A.R.P. trainers.
Learned alot and looking forward to getting the book and using the new FrameWork for the Future of Fitness.
Very good information. It helped to print my own copy of the powerpoint to follow along while he was talking since the video did not always keep the power point displayed.
You may consider slowing the speed and presentation of the information. This will allow for a greater understanding and retention of the material.
Dr. DiNubile is not only a briliant presenter, but this lecture is packed with important information that will far enhance the quality of your training! His work is innovative, and pushes both medicine and fitness to a whole new level. I believe that fitness professionals who study his work in depth should be rewarded with a special title and more recognition, because what he has to offer is far beyond the scope of what other fitness professionals are doing today!
informative and interesting
Enjoyable, informative, very relevant and frequently humorous.
Not much information...seemed more infomercial.
Very good overview of how our framework is impacted due to a multitude of factors. Dr. Denubile does a great job of presenting the material in a clear and entertaining way that makes it very easy to follow and understand.
The downloadable pdf of the powerpoint demonstration is also a very helpful tool in going through the presentation and a great resource for quick review of the information.
Good statistics and it's good to see an orthopedic surgeon talking about the importance of exercise and posture. Would be even better if he talked about how posture is the key to joint/bone/muscle health and longevity.
One of the best courses I have taken!!!
Good information.
A GOOD SPEAKER. Easy to understand, informative and interesting. I am inspired to learn more about the musculoskeletal framework. I only wish ACE would allow these types of courses to show incorrect answers; However, this was a very easy course and enjoyable to learn. A great short course to enlighten and inspire. Highly recommended!
Must see!
ENLIGHTENING and awesome. Great stuff and I loved the quote at the end from Thomas Edison.. :)

Has anyone else picked up British columnist Caitlin Moran's new book, How to be a Woman? I was reading it on the train out from Manhattan earlier this week and could not stop laughing! Imagine a book that takes on traditional feminist issues (subjugation by the patriarchy, the perils of princess iconography) but somehow manages to be funnier than The Bloggess; a book that asks women, among other salient questions:
- Why are so few of us (a mere 29% in America, 42% in Britain) comfortable with calling ourselves feminists?
- When did the complete removal of female pubic hair become mandatory?
- Is cheap and easy access to online pornography killing our sexual imaginations? How about the imaginations of our adolescent children? Also: do any of the participants in porn appear to be enjoying themselves? Could pornography be joyous? Shouldn't it be?
I was going to suggest that we make this a GeekMom Book Club selection but How to be a Woman stridently demands to be read as a real-life book club pick; begs to be cherry-picked and read aloud, favorite passage by favorite passage, to cackling groups of women surrounding hors d'oeuvres-laden tables, all on their third glass of box wine.
I absolutely think that we women need to get together and talk among ourselves about the topics that Moran brings up: Continue Reading "How To Be a Woman" »
