yea, a no brainer also is to use the touch pad for map navigation in games
for example, in assassin's creed, you should be able to bring up map by pressing the touch pad, and pan and zoom using the touch pad
but they didnt
oh and youtube
the youtube.com/tv is b/s. can't even access your playlist
In Assassins Creed 4 you do use the touchpad for the map, you can pan and zoom with it too. You can even place a waypoint by pressing it again

Re: PS4 Update Wishlist[ Edited ]
Great list. It covers nearly everything.
When you have 2000 friends coming online, your screen is going to be spam blasted with friend-online notifications. We need way more 'social website' managing tools.
-favorite friends, so i don't hear from the entire 2000 when they come online (for when a group buys a new game together, i'll always know its them and not the people still on ps3, for example, who i still play with occasionally) Can be changed at any time.
-better scroller searcher for invites ( five minutes later and i'm still in the A's)
-Easier way to sort a group who is playing my favorite game, so i can make decisions about who i really have games in common with. Easier trimming proccess makes way for finding better teams. If a friend i made in 2013 ends up selling his ps4, or just watching netflix on it , thats just clogging my search scroll and notification screen when he comes online.
The big difference between our site and a social friend site is that our goal is not to get as many friends as possible but to get as many good gamers who play our games as possible. There has got to be more easy to use tools to see that info on the fly before we make friends. And then, easy tools to find and invite them before we play from our 2000 list.
Edited to make post clearer and easier to read.
Re: PS4 Update Wishlist
Re: PS4 Update Wishlist[ Edited ]
I want the PS4 internet Browser to be able to permanently remember all of my logins that i log into my Facebook, YouTube, Twitter accounts etc because it's a hassle and a chore when i have to keep putting in my login info when the PS4 eventually automatically deletes all of my logins when i exit and return to the PS4 internet browser multiple times. Also i want the PS4 to support adobe flash so that way PS4 owners can easily watch any YouTube video on the PS4 internet browser.
I would like to have the option to add different background music on the PS4 interface. Also it would be nice if we had The Top Friends List section where we can organize our PSN friends LIst such as adding our Top PSN friends on a separate section. I would like PlayStation Home to come to the PS4. I want to be able to use the voice commands without the need of pluging the PS4 headphones into the PS4 controller. I want the load times on games like Warframe and DC Universe Online to load faster. I would like to be able to post comments on my PSN friend's activty feeds besides just clicking the LIKE button. Last but not least it would be nice if we could share our gameplay footages on our activty feeds for our PSN friends to see besides sharing them on Facebook/Twitter.

Spawned from, and postponed on #22336: Move all core Drupal files under a /core folder to improve usability and upgrades.
One of the best summaries of the issue is #22336-73.
Basically, we want to discuss whether the
sites folder is the best way to store site specific settings, modules, themes etc.
If #22336 is accepted, we then want to look at how we structure the remaining folders in the webroot.

Comment #2jstoller CreditAttribution: jstoller commented
I just read through all of the comments to date on #22336: Move all core Drupal files under a /core folder to improve usability and upgrades. I am against moving site files into webroot. To me, that just complicates things. Then the core/ directory will get lost in a sea of other stuff, reducing the benefits of having it in the first place.
All of my issues as a Drupal newbie (at least as they related to file paths) would have been solved if webroot contained two directories: core/ and sites/. That provides a very clear distinction between the core system (i.e. things I shouldn't touch) and the place where my websites go. All in all, this seems very intuitive.
I also don't think we need to hide the fact that Drupal supports multi-sites. So having sites/all/ and sites/default/ directories makes perfect sense. Again, moving sites/all/* into the root of sites/ would just cause confusion by mixing directories like themes/ and modules/ with directories for individual sites. I understand that this keeps the important site files deeper in the hierarchy, but that hierarchy exists for a reason. It makes it easy to find what you need, even if doing so requires a couple extra clicks.
If clarity is really what you're after, then I don't think changing the file structure is the key. Instead, I'd recommend adding a file at sites/README--about_sites.txt. This, more than anything else, would help newcomers to Drupal in getting their sites set up. This readme file could explain exactly what goes where in the sites directory, including for multi-site installations. It would duplicate much of the documentation in sites/default/default.settings.php, but that's a good thing. Newbies don't know to look in sites/default/default.settings.php for instructions. I sure didn't.

Hey, I was looking for this issue!
I think this is a great idea, personally. It would use the behaviour we currently don't like in Drupal 7 and below ("Oh, look! Here's a modules folder! Let me stick my modules in there!") to our learnability advantage. These ideas I'm pretty sure were already quicksketch's, but putting them here cos I couldn't find them documented anywhere else.
Picture the following:
- core/ - SLAP! Core's stuff. Do not touch this. Just trash the whole folder and replace it upon upgrade.
- modules/ - *My* modules! (equivalent to today's sites/all/modules)
- profiles/ - *My* profiles! (equivalent to today's /profiles)
- themes/ - *My* themes! (equivalent to today's sites/all/themes)
- .htaccess - Because this has to go here.
- README.txt - Because OMGWTFBBQ.
- example.gitignore - Because this has to go here.
- index.php - Because this has to go here.
- robots.txt - Because this has to go here.
- settings.php - *My* settings.php! (equivalent to sites/default/settings.php)
- web.config - Because this has to go here.
That's the default directory structure. settings.php ships with a setting:
$multisite = FALSE;
If you want to use multisite, then you change that variable to TRUE and add a "sites/" folder to the mix as well, which operates on the standard lookup pattern in 7.x and below. The difference is it doesn't do the 99% case thing *last* after it's already eliminated the other 30 possible options of where the $conf_path could be (Rasmus chided us for this in Szeged in 2008 and we still haven't fixed it).
I think the concern about the core directory getting lost is a bit overblown. We're only talking about 4 directories here in the default case, 5 if you're using multisite, and *possibly* an extra one if we chose to move docs like CHANGELOG.txt into a "docs/" directory for security hardening (separate issue plz).
Comment #5catch CreditAttribution: catch commented
I think this is definitely worth looking at. If we could guarantee settings.php is always available in always the same place, then that might fix one chicken/egg issue with the class loader too.
The difference is it doesn't do the 99% case thing *last* after it's already eliminated the other 30 possible options of where the $conf_path could be (Rasmus chided us for this in Szeged in 2008 and we still haven't fixed it).
It's fixed by #1055856: Optimize settings.php discovery and #1055862: Require sites.php to opt-in for multi-site support/functionality, the latter we don't need if we require settings.php (in fact we can completely remove sites.php and just use the root settings.php to hold the $sites array), the former is dying for a review :(
Comment #6Bojhan CreditAttribution: Bojhan commented
Sounds good to me, does that mean that out of the box you can't do multi-site setups? It will be pretty similiair to how you make your site multi-site with wordpress
Comment #7catch CreditAttribution: catch commented
You'd have to edit settings.php to allow multisite, but it'd only be a one-line change.
Comment #8naxoc CreditAttribution: naxoc commented
I also really like the idea that modules/ and themes/ are in the root. I think everybody I have ever tried to teach installing modules would put them there anyway.
Comment #9naxoc CreditAttribution: naxoc commented
I guess the sites/default/files folder should also go in the root by default.
Comment #10naxoc CreditAttribution: naxoc commented
Here is the easy part. All I did was move the folders in sites/all to the root. It seems to work with both themes, modules, and profiles but I am sure it does create all kinds of problems I havent found yet.
I have also still to clean up all references to sites/all.
I wonder if moving the settings file to root should be its own issue?

Comment #13naxoc CreditAttribution: naxoc commented

PASSED: [[SimpleTest]]: [MySQL] 40,631 pass(es). View
Here is a patch that uses a settings file in the root folder. I applied the patch from #1724252: Allow and encourage top-level directories instead of /sites/all/* directories before I started work on this because it kinda lays the foundation for not using the sites all folder.
I can see that stuff similar to the this patch already has been discussed and worked on in #1055862: Require sites.php to opt-in for multi-site support/functionality.
This patch is still very rough and naive. Documentation I haven't even touched yet because I would like some feedback before that (rather large) task starts.
Here is what the patch does:
- Moves
sites/default/default.settings.phpto the drupal root.
- Kills
sites/alland moves
themes, and
profilesto the drupal root.
- Assumes that the default install uses a
settings.phpin the drupal root.
- If there is a
sites.phppresent in the drupal root, it reads that and reacts to that just like in the old days in the sites folder.
- Simplifies the code in
find_conf_path(). This is either me not understanding what the original code did or a great simplification.
- webchick suggested a variable in
settings.phpthat says multisite TRUE/FALSE. I tried working with that concept but I kept running into the chicken and the egg problem so the existence of a
sites.phpfile is used as that in the patch.
I have tested this with both multisite and without. I have run almost all of the tests and they pass, but I can't run the Bootstrap tests right now for some reason (see #1756348: PageCacheTest fails).
I took extra care manually testing the installers for both multisite and not, and they seem to work for the testing I have done.
Comment #14klonos CreditAttribution: klonos commented
How about:
1. we should either look for a sites.php file or a
$sites variable/array in settings.php - not both
2. having a sites.php would imply
$multisite = TRUE;
3. instead of having a
$multisite variable in settings.php *and* a
$sites array, have only
$sites and that would imply
$multisite = TRUE;
4. either keep
$sites in sites.php (for clarity/distinction/findability) or in settings.php (for simplicity - if so, then ditch sites.php and #1055862: Require sites.php to opt-in for multi-site support/functionality)
Comment #15naxoc CreditAttribution: naxoc commented
@klonos I agree. The patch in #13 assumes no multisite unless there is a sites.php. $sites lives in sites.php. There is no multisite config in settings.php.
Comment #16klonos CreditAttribution: klonos commented
Great! So, how is this different from #1055862: Require sites.php to opt-in for multi-site support/functionality? Also this issue's title is in the form of a question while it is set to a feature request. What are we trying to achieve here? I can only test-review the patch in #13. What should I test?
Comment #17sun CreditAttribution: sun commented
Hm. This patch is unfortunately trying to do too many things in one fell swoop... :-/
I think we should focus on #1055862: Require sites.php to opt-in for multi-site support/functionality first to get that out of the way.
Second, #1724252: Allow and encourage top-level directories instead of /sites/all/* directories already deals with ditching sites/all/* in favor of top-level directories, so let's keep the changes for that in there.
On the rest:
- All paths in Drupal never contain a trailing slash, so the change to conf_path() is bogus.
- The clean-up to conf_path() essentially removes the site folder discovery that allows to use e.g. 'sites/example.com' as a wildcard/catch-all for all subdomains of example.com, and I believe we want to keep that, so that looks bogus to me as well.
What essentially remains for this issue is the topic of moving settings.php to the top-level directory. However, it might make sense to create a dedicated issue to have and concentrate on that discussion...?
Comment #18naxoc CreditAttribution: naxoc commented
|Needs review
|» Closed (duplicate)
Yeah, this kinda is the omni-patch. Lets split it up. I made another issue on the settings php in #1757536: Move settings.php to /settings directory, fold sites.php into settings.php
Regarding the trailing slash we can most definitely find a better way.
I didn't think of wildcard domains at all. That would explain the great simplification :)
Marking as duplicate.

This bake element is found on the bottom of the oven.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, KENMORE®, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Unscrew the old one, pull it out, along with a few inches of wire. Use a couple of clothes pins to keep the wire escaping back behind the oven as you unhook them from the damaged (bad) one. Then reverse the process with the new one. No big deal. Works great now and the wife is happy.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
After 26 years, the element burned out. I followed the diagrams on this website. Basically, I took out the screws that hold the element in place and carefully pulled the old element forward. The wires had fittings that slipped off the old element (with a little help from the wrench.) When the wires were disconnected, I clipped the adjustable wrench on the one of them to make sure they didn't slip back through the holes in the back of the oven. The old fittings slipped right onto the new element (couple of taps with a small hammer to get them all the way on). Them I slipped the wires back through the holes and put the two small screws in the plate at the back of the element. Quite simple, even for a guy with four thumbs.
Removed the old element and replaced it with the new element. Very straight forward
Remove to screws pull old element out, unplugged old element and plugged new element in. Replace screws and baked a cake

BeschreibungIn O'Brian's most ambitious book to date, Napoleon escapes from Elba, and the fate of Europe hinges on a desperate mission: Stephen Maturin must ferret out the French dictator's secret link to the powers of Islam, and Jack Aubrey must destroy it. An intriguing exercise in "what if . . ". history, encompassed in a magnificently rounded and complex work of fiction.
PortraitPatrick O'Brian's acclaimed Aubrey/Maturin series of historical novels has been described as "a masterpiece" (David Mamet, New York Times), "addictively readable" (Patrick T. Reardon, Chicago Tribune), and "the best historical novels ever written" (Richard Snow, New York Times Book Review), which "should have been on those lists of the greatest novels of the 20th century" (George Will).Set in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, O'Brian's twenty-volume series centers on the enduring friendship between naval officer Jack Aubrey and physician (and spy) Stephen Maturin. The Far Side of the World, the tenth book in the series, was adapted into a 2003 film directed by Peter Weir and starring Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany. The film was nominated for ten Oscars, including Best Picture. The books are now available in hardcover, paperback, and e-book format.In addition to the Aubrey/Maturin novels, Patrick O'Brian wrote several books including the novels Testimonies, The Golden Ocean, and The Unknown Shore, as well as biographies of Joseph Banks and Picasso. He translated many works from French into English, among them the novels and memoirs of Simone de Beauvoir, the first volume of Jean Lacouture's biography of Charles de Gaulle, and famed fugitive Henri Cherriere's memoir Papillon. O'Brian died in January 2000.

Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005-2016 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2006-2016 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
Synopsis :
The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related
Description :
The current default algorithm for creating 'message digests'
(electronic signatures) for certificates created by openssl is MD5.
However, this algorithm is not deemed secure any more, and some
practical attacks have been demonstrated which could allow an attacker
to forge certificates with a valid certification authority signature
even if he does not know the secret CA signing key.
Therefore all Ubuntu versions of openssl have now been changed to use
SHA-1 by default. This is a more appropriate default algorithm for the
majority of use cases
however, if you still want to use MD5 as
default, you can revert this change by changing the two instances of
'default_md = sha1' to 'default_md = md5' in /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf.
A detailed explanation and further links can be found at
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable

MRC Technology Lends Expertise to Chinese Academy
MRC Technology, a technology transfer charity and company, entered into a strategic drug discovery collaboration with the Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology (SIBCB), Chinese Academy of Science (CAS). The agreement will combine the SIBCB's research expertise in generating potential new drug targets, with MRC Technology's experience in further developing early-stage research for pharmaceutical application and commercialization. The focus of the collaboration is to fast-track innovative drugable targets to create potent and selective novel therapeutics.
"SIBCB is one of the world's leading academic research institutions and the initiative reflects our joint commitment to delivering drugs for the treatment of diseases of global significance," Dave Tapolczay, MRC Techology's CEO commented. "The collaboration gives us a strong partner in China and access to potential new targets to further develop into drug therapies."
In May, MRC Technology launched two collaborations with Mauro Perretti, Ph.D., at the William Harvey Research Institute, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) to exploit G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) identified as effectors of endogenous resolution.

text: Bright and early this morning, a big group of runners getting out before the heat and humidity reached it's peak. The 37th annual Tour du Lac going on in Bucksport. 7:30 was the start time for a race even Tim Throckmorton's run in before. The 10-miler is part of the Sub 5 Road Race Series. Runners young and old were out on the course today. The good thing was…the race started and ended at the Bucksport Community Swimming Pool, so when the finish line was crossed, it was time for a dip! Another unique part of the race was that trophies aren't handed out to competitors. Instead, they get a jar of jam!The most popular flavor seemed to be Bumbleberry. The people that participate in this race annually say it continues to be very special, year after year.

Stocks ended higher across the board Monday following dovish comments from Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen.
The Nasdaq rose 1.0%, while the Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 each added 0.8%. Advancers outpaced decliners by more than 3-to-1 on the Nasdaq and the NYSE.
However, volume fell across the board in the stock market today, according to preliminary data.
Yellen said interest rates will remain low "for some time" due to continued weakness in the labor market. Her comments appeared to assuage investor fears that the central bank could start raising its benchmark lending rate by mid-2015, as she indicated after the most recent Fed meeting.
Auto parts maker Gentex (GNTX) climbed more than 2% in heavy trade as it tries to overcome resistance at both its 50-day moving average and its 10-week moving average (see weekly chart). The stock is working on a flat base with a potential 34.51 buy point, but most of the base has formed below the 10-week line so far.
US Silica Holdings (SLCA), a producer of materials used in oil and gas fracking, rose 4.5% and cleared a 37.35 buy point of a cup-with-handle base. It's now up 2% from that proper entry point. Volume was weak but the stock's Relative Strength line is hitting new highs.
On the downside, Internet banking stock BOFI Holding (BOFI) fell more than 2% in active trade, slipping back below its 50-day line and erasing some of Friday's 14% jump. The stock is 4% past an 82.37 buy point after being up as much as 29%.
Amid the current correction, investors should always consider taking profits in stocks that rise more than 20% above their buy points, as most tend to correct at that point. At the very least, sell before a nice gain turns into a loss.

Mariner Christmas Cruise: Mariner of the Seas Cruise Review by nkslewis
Overall Member Rating
Mariner Christmas Cruise
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Galveston
Cabin: We decided to splurge on a balcony cabin. The cabin itself was a good size and had plenty of storage. We found the bed and pillows uncomfortable (too soft for our liking). Our room attendant was great, aside from an unfortunate incident on the last morning when I emerged from the bathroom partially clothed to find him changing the sheets. I am someone who can laugh such things off, but I think he about died from embarrassment. The wind was terrible on our sea days, which limited our use of the balcony. It was nice to have, but I could go back to an OV or inside and not miss it.
Sea day activities: This was our first RCL cruise. We'd cruised Alaska with Princess and wanted to try another line for comparison. We thought RCL would offer more activities, which may be true but, at least on this cruise, they were focused on families. Tons of kids were aboard, so I get that two adults sailing alone weren't the main focus, but we didn't find there was much of interest for us to do on the sea days. We aren't big drinkers and don't gamble, and those were the main adult-focused activities. We enjoyed relaxing in the solarium and walking around the ship, which was decorated beautifully for Christmas. We went to the nondenominational service on Christmas day, the ice show (which was great) and watched a movie poolside, but beyond that we didn't find any activities we wanted to participate in. By contrast, when we sailed Princess we often had to make a tough decision about which activity to do because there were several of interest happening at the same time.
Food: We ate nearly all of our meals in the MDR. We had first-seating dining and were given a table for two, which was a surprise. I wouldn't have minded sharing a table and enjoyed the people we met while sharing a table for breakfast and lunch. We found the Windjammer breakfast and lunch not to be very appetizing the one day we went there instead of the MDR. Lunch in the MDR on sea days was very good, especially the salad bar. Breakfast was hit-or-miss in the MDR, which seemed to suffer from inconsistency. Sometimes the eggs were spot-on the way we ordered them, sometimes not. One day the French toast was amazing, other days it was dry from not enough time in the batter. Our dinner serving team, Anisha and Michael, were beyond wonderful. We got to know Anisha quite well as she often came to chat with us between courses. Michael was attentive and playful, giving us toothpick puzzles to solve over dessert. Anisha also provided good suggestions on food choices and we enjoyed nearly everything we were served. We dined at Chops for the Wine Pairings Dinner on the last night of the cruise and didn't enjoy it. The food and wine were just OK and not worth the $75/person charge.
Ports: We booked a private excursion in Ocho Rios to Dunn's River Falls and the Cayoga Gardens. It was a crazy, busy day in Ocho Rios (Boxing Day, a national holiday) and DRF was crazy, but we had fun. If you go, avoid all eye contact with the vendors in the craft market unless you really plan to buy something. We had a bad experience here of letting ourselves get swindled when a vendor sucked DH into looking at his items. In Grand Cayman, we were a bit leery of scheduling anything due to the tendering situation, so we just shopped and walked around town. In Cozumel, we took the Chankanaab excursion through the ship. There were 6 or 7 ships in port that day and the terminal area was a mad house. Once we got out of there and over to Chankanaab, we had a wonderful time. In retrospect, we would have had more time there if we'd taken a taxi on our own and would have spent less on the excursion.
Debarkation: Getting off the ship was almost as unpleasant as getting on. We spent an hour in line after our number was called. I don't really understand why they called us given that there were so many people in line ahead of us. I guess they needed us off ASAP.
Other notes: We are big college football fans and were very pleased that many of the bowl games were shown on the poolside screen and in-room TV. That constituted our evening entertainment since we aren't much on going to shows.
Overall experience: We might cruise RCI again, but wouldn't do a Christmas cruise. We had hoped for more holiday activities that weren't focused on families with small children. The ship was unpleasantly crowded and given the upcharge on the cruise over a non-holiday week, we felt we didn't get our money's worth in terms of activities or the onboard experience. I'm sure many of those with children or large family groups might find it worth it, but in general I felt like we paid extra to subsidize activities we weren't invited to participate in. Less

Cabin review: D19560 Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony
Location was forward, so we walked a lot, but the cabin was very quiet. The only time we heard our neighbors was when we were on the balcony at the same time. There was plenty of storage and the bathroom was an acceptable size.Read All Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony (D1) Reviews >>

Rolling Stone Article on Boston Marathon Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Slams UMass Dartmouth and Community
The latest issue of "Rolling Stone" magazine has many people upset because of the cover picture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. CVS and Walgreens are among the stores that refuse to stock the magazine and Boston Mayor Tom Menino denounced the magazine for their celebrity treatment of the bomber.
Now, there's another reason to be upset if you live on the Southcoast. We checked out the article on-line today and found a section on page 4 about UMass Dartmouth. Janet Reitman writes:
A middling school an hour and a half south of Boston, UMass Dartmouth had one distinguishing feature – its utter lack of character. "It's beige," says Jackson. "It's, like, the most depressing campus I've ever seen."
Jahar arrived in the fall of 2011 and almost immediately wanted to go home. North Dartmouth, where the university is based, is a working-class community with virtually nothing to boast of except for a rather sad mall and a striking number of fast-food joints. It has a diverse student population, but their level of curiosity seemed to fall far below his friends' from Rindge. "Using my high-school essays for my english class #itsthateasy."
You can read the rest of the Rolling Stone article here.

Sad and outrageous as this might be, 50 or 110 killed in a few days is no more a significant number compared to the moderate estimate of 650,000 Iraqi killed since the American invasion and occupation of Iraq.
It's obvious that the neo-fascists ruling from Washington D.C., with the drunk behind the wheel as their leader, are achieving their goals in permanently destroying Iraq. They want to liquidate the young Iraqi population with their schemes of creating infighting among the different factions of the population.
Additionally, they are frightening the well-to-do segment of the population to flee the country for safety,(and this number runs now in the over a million figure) and leave the country with the few surviving poor and disabled. This will give them the chance to claim, as the Zionists did early in the history of their movement,of a land without people for a people without land, justification to permanently colonize Palestine, that this is a country (now Iraq) without people for a people without jobs in their countries, who need to exploit the land and its resources for the wefare of humanity and to keep the oil flowing for the wellbeing and prosperity of the West!

Former Montreal Mayor Michael Applebaum is now implicated in a decades-long "system of corruption," that police now believe involved developers bribing public officials with "thousands of dollars" for zoning changes, the Montreal Gazette reported.
When Applebaum, 50, was arrested in July of this year, he faced 14 charges of fraud, conspiracy, and corruption among others due to two questionable real estate deals dating to his mayoral tenure of the Montreal borough Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce from 2002 to 2012.
On Thursday, Montreal police widened the scope of the investigation against him.
Police told La Presse and Radio-Canada that they are now investigating 10 major real estate transactions between 2002 and 2012 in the Côte borough. A city councilor and borough mayor are also under arrest.
Applebaum was the first Jewish person to serve as mayor of Montreal, as well as the first anglophone in 100 years, although he speaks fluent French. He is schedule to make his first court appearance on October 9.
The Montreal Gazette pointed out that Applebaum is just the latest in a string of mayors from the Quebec province who have been implicated in corruption scandals. Mayor Gilles Vaillancourt of the town of Laval, in the south of the province, was arrested in May 2013 and charged with Fraud and gangsterism.

The first trailer for Behind the Candelabra, a film dubbed "too gay" for Hollywood by its director, has been released.
Behind the Candelabra stars Michael Douglas as the piano master Liberace and Matt Damon as his young lover Scott Thorson.
Rob Lowe appears as Liberace's taunt, fake-tanned plastic surgeon while Dan Akroyd and Debbie Reynolds, a real-life friend of the pianist, play his parents.
The film, which will screen on US TV network HBO, is based on Thorson's book, Behind the Candelabra: My Life With Liberace.
Its trailer revels in Liberace's famed excesses, showing characters wearing giant fur coats and even bigger hair in scenes of over-the-top emotion and drama.
Director Steven Soderbergh said the film was almost never made because Hollywood executives thought it was "too gay".
"Nobody would make it. We went to everybody in town," he told The Wrap. "We needed $5m. Nobody would do it. They said it was too gay. Everybody. This was after Brokeback Mountain, by the way. Which is not as funny as this movie. I was stunned. It made no sense to any of us."
Soderbergh and the film's two main stars are all Academy Award winners.

Specialty vehicles spark mainstream sales
Eric Mayne
The Detroit News
TRAVERSE CITY — Specialty vehicles such as the Chevrolet SSR sport truck do more than generate buzz, they drive sales of mainstream products, new research shows.
Among pickup truck buyers surveyed by Rochester-based Foresight Research, a significant percentage said their purchase decisions were influenced by an automaker's specialty vehicle offerings. Some said they weren't even shopping for pickups — they only visited their dealers to ogle specialty vehicles.
"Clearly, such cars and trucks have a big impact on generating new sales and pushing profits," said Steven Bruyn, Foresight's chief executive officer.
The survey results provide a measure of vindication for automakers. Industry critics and some Wall Street analysts have dismissed specialty vehicles because they waste financial resources but are sold in low volumes.
Paul Wilbur, president and CEO of specialty vehicle builder ASC Inc., told attendees of the 2004 Management Briefing Seminars here that specialty vehicles are fueling industry expansion.
In the last 10 years, the number of car and light truck models has grown by 100 to about 350, Wilbur said.
"What people want is change," Wilbur said.
Foresight surveyed 2,200 pickup buyers and asked what motivated their purchase decisions. Of those who bought Chevrolet Silverados and Avalanches, 15 percent were "somewhat" influenced by the halo effect created by SSR.
But 8 percent indicated their purchases were a direct result of initial interest in the SSR.
Similarly, Foresight found that 6 percent of Ford F-150 buyers were influenced by the SVT F-150 Lightning high-performance pickup. And Dodge Ram buyers were influenced — five percent indirectly and two percent directly — by the Dodge Viper sports car.
Even though the Ram and Viper bear no resemblance, Ram buyers were intrigued by the notion that Dodge was associated with both vehicles.
"The Viper demonstrates capabilities and design far beyond what the brand is typically known for," Bruyn said.
Automakers aren't surprised that specialty vehicles influence sales of high-volume products, even though the degree of influence had never before been measured.

The NBA announced the All-Star reserves in both conferences on Thursday, and the news was surprisingly good for Chicago Bulls fans. Although the Bulls had no starters on the Eastern Conference team, both Luol Deng (making his second straight appearance) and Joakim Noah (a first-time All-Star) made the list of bench players for the East.
Both players obviously deserve enormous credit for keeping the Bulls in the playoff picture while superstar Derrick Rose rehabs his injured knee. That said, the All-Star Game is meant to recognize individual excellence above all, and it's hard to justify sending both Chicago standouts in a year when some very strong candidates are staying home.
Deng seems the more plausible choice, as he's shown immense versatility while carrying the Bulls' offense. He's averaging a team-high 17.4 points per game, pulling down 6.4 boards a night in a terrific frontcourt, and playing his usual impeccable defense.
The most obvious objection to Deng's presence on the roster is that Boston stalwart Paul Pierce, a similar small forward with a much more impressive track record, missed the cut. However, Pierce's numbers are so similar to Deng's (18.9 points and 5.6 rebounds a night) that it's pretty much of a toss-up who should go, and Boston already has an ill-deserved starter in Kevin Garnett.
The tougher call when it comes to the Bulls' representatives is Noah, who admittedly is having a career year. He's seventh in the league with 10.9 rebounds per game, he's blocking 2.1 shots a night and (as always) is a wonderful passer for a big man with 4.0 assists per contest.
However, with Garnett serving as the only post player in the East's starting lineup, the bar for reserve centers gets set awfully, awfully high. As well as Noah's played, Nets center Brook Lopez has been even better.
Lopez has matched Noah's shot blocking and turned in a solid rebounding effort of his own at 7.4 boards a night. Most crucially, he's the leading scorer on a very good Brooklyn team, pouring in 18.6 points per game (against Noah's pedestrian, albeit career-high, 12.2).
If Deng hadn't turned in another season well worth honoring with an All-Star nod, it would have made sense to reward Noah and the Bulls by sending the hardworking center to his first All-Star Game. With Deng also on the roster, though, Noah just doesn't have the production to deserve a spot ahead of Lopez this season.684859

Learning HypnosisYou will read this page carefully, put yourself into a deep state of relaxation, and once you are finished you will be aware of how learning hypnosis can help you and possibly give you a new career path!
Of course, hypnosis isn't as simple as reading and following directions in an article, but you get the idea, you must be willing to learn hypnosis from a certified professional before you can practice it.
Hypnosis is the practice of going into a deep state of relaxation. It has been used throughout the ages, but just within the past 50 years has enjoyed a resurgence of people wanting to undergo hypnotherapy to end chronic pain, remember deep buried or traumatic events of the past or to end some sort of addiction, such as smoking. A 1995 study found that many people could be relieved from chronic pain associated with cancer, tension headaches and irritable bowel syndrome. It really isn't known exactly how hypnosis works, but it is thought to work as many other meditation techniques do, by allowing the brain to become so relaxed, it is open to the power of suggestion.
Those who embark on a commitment to learning hypnosis can work in assisting people with problems such as those, or you might be able to work with law enforcement to help solve cold case crimes by putting witnesses under hypnosis. Therapists and psychologists also sometimes use hypnosis in their practices.
Learning Hypnosis is as Easy as Watching the Crystal
Learning hypnosis is really easy. First, you must find a certified, state licensed school near you. This could be a school certified by the American Hypnosis Association or one of the most respected in the industry is the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners. You can find a list of schools licensed through your state through your state's websites.
To be certified with the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners, you must have at least 200 of instruction. To become a certified hypnotherapist through that certification organization, you must have at least 300 hours of instruction. Once you decide you want to enter a program learning hypnosis, you might decide to take a weekend and evening program learning hypnosis so you can work on your day job while you study your new skill. According to some reports, about 70 percent of schools that teach hypnosis offer online classes, making learning hypnosis even more convenient.
However, before embarking on a program learning hypnosis online, make sure it is a certified and licensed program. Learning hypnosis can be moderately priced and can range into the very pricey range. You might want to do some research on your own learning hypnosis and the basics before committing to an expensive program.

About the location
Penzance 1 mile.
Nestled next to Penzance, and although still a quaint village in its own right, Newlyn is actually the third largest fishing port in England, and an important Port of Refuge for all sea baring craft. It is unusual in that visitors can still watch the landing and auctioning of fish at the market, as many families have for centuries before. This Cornish village is clustered around the harbour, with its historic 800 year old quay (the Mayflower actually left for America from this quay, not Plymouth) curling around a few small boats on the western side. Famous for the Newlyn school of Art and Newlyn Copper, the Cornwall Coastal Path passes through the village, as does the level Mousehole to Marazion cycle path. An abundance of wildlife and flora can be enjoyed along both, with basking sharks, dolphins and grey seals often seen. The Cornish coast is renowned for surfing, and Penwith offers some splendid beaches on which to enjoy this sport as well as surf fishing for sea bass. Mounts Bay also offers a wealth of opportunity for watersports enthusiasts as well as giving visitors an opportunity to relax and unwind in beautiful surroundings.

Thursday morning's third and final one-dayer is a chance for New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum to turn rhetoric into reality by showing the team has an uncompromising attitude under his leadership.
Fans are well aware of the dichotomy in performances at test and one-day level, but put that aside briefly. A clean sweep of the three-match series against England in Nottingham would send a clear message New Zealand deserve respect and can intimidate if given the opportunity in the Champions Trophy.
Yes, England were without the services of Steve Finn and Stuart Broad for the first two games. Their absence is notable but it says more about a lack of depth that others (including prolific test wicket-takers Graeme Swann and James Anderson) have not provided sufficient cover.
New Zealand have been without Daniel Vettori for both games and Tim Southee for the second, yet they have won emphatically both chasing and setting a total. Expect Southee to add pep to the New Zealand attack if fit. However, odds on Vettori playing remain slim.
The extent of the aggravation to his Achilles tendon remains a medical moot point.
"Our confidence [of using him in the Champions Trophy] is slowly increasing but I don't want to put extra pressure on him," McCullum said.
"With his record of 272 games he will walk back in when fit and ready but I guess my brother [fellow spinner Nathan] will have something to say about that," McCullum grinned. "We'll see. There might be an opportunity to play two specialist spinners."
After the second match, McCullum reflected on winning an ODI series which no other side has managed away against England since Australia in September 2009.
"Considering where they are on the rankings [third versus eighth at the start of play in the second ODI] and in their own conditions, it was great to wrap up the series in two games. It shows how good the team can be when we get things in order."
McCullum said Southee had been rested but there was no place for further rotation in the final match.
"A 3-0 result would be as good as it gets. We want to continue building momentum. Our selections will reflect that."
McCullum has the countenance of someone with unfinished business. He will not have forgotten they let a 3-0 series victory slip in South Africa when Ryan McLaren hit James Franklin for six off the last ball at Potchefstroom to win by one wicket.
While it was a fine recovery for New Zealand, sans Ross Taylor, to win a series 2-1 after a 2-0 test trouncing, McCullum hardly wants a repeat. Any suggestion their footing gets uncertain near an opposition's throat would be a jittery look heading into a tournament which quickly turns knockout.

How to make a fire with household chemicals
Posted 1 July 2010 - 02:04 AM
1. It cannot be explosive
2. It cannot create any hazardous materials such as chlorine or molten iron.
3. You have to be able to buy the ingredients from a local walk-in store.
Is there any fun experiments that make fire that I could use?
Btw, it would help if I could get some idea's before this Saturday. Thanks a million.

But is a chemist the same as a "local walk-in store"? I don't think anything you can purchase from a grocery store or pharmacy that ignites when mixed would violate our HazMat policy.
I know a couple of things one can get from a local chemist that will spontaneously ignite when mixed.
Here's something that might work. If you could dip a test tube (or a dowel, a pencil or something else long but thin) in melted candle wax several times about halfway up its sides, then remove the tube, you would have a mold you could put a small amount of gasoline in. Add a candle wick to the bottom, fill it to the top with gasoline, position it in your kindling so the wick has some air and then light the wick. When the flame melts through the wax, it should release the gasoline. Assuming the gasoline doesn't douse the wick before it can ignite the fumes, it should start quite a nice fire in a very short time.

At your own risk.
Potassium permanganate () will spontaneously ignite when exposed to glycerine (propan-1,2,3-triol).
Assuming it is not too cold, a small pile of potassium permanganate will ignite when a drop of glycerine is added within a few moments. This can then be used to ignite other combustibles.
Both are readily available in chemist shops.
Potassium permanganate is an oxidising agent and has medical use as a disinfectant. Glycerine is used in foods and pharmaceuticals.

Just kidding, take along a coffee can to scoop out the leftovers from the ashes the next morning, and chuck the can in the trash.
Keep an eye on the immediate area, it looks like the reaction can spit out some hot material bits. Not a big deal.

That seems great! Can I just throw the products away or do I need to disspose of them spiecally?
Looking up the products, they don't look particularly dangerous, although I'd still use care to avoid getting them on your clothing or your skin. Perhaps put them in their own sealed bag.
I'm not sure of specific disposal regulations though. There may be rules.

Id suggest a square lantern battery wired to a bit of steel wool, but that might cause a little bit of molten steel (which would violate condition #2 in OP), and over-using the battery due to high current just might over excite it, resulting in a *ahem* catastrophic failure (which would violate condition #1 in OP). Ive seen this done safely, and have done it safely myself, yet Scouting is Scouting, and we must follow the rules. (PS -- check with your Scoutmaster about this experiment, maybe hell approve it.)
Justification for this method: You're near something (say a huge forest fire), and you need to start a backfire to stop the fire from advancing. Trouble is, the blaze is so hot you can't even get close enough to it to light a stick in your hand. You think to yourself, if you could just collect all that heat in one place to get it hot enough to start a fire. Hmm then you remember a posting on a science forum
Heres something along the lines of unique or never-thought-of methods. Use a magnifying glass to focus the energy from a campfire onto starter material, such as paper. Use a 3-inch glass -- bigger is better. Yeah yeah, I know, it doesnt seems unusual to start a fire with a fire, but I think no ones ever done it this way before.
Justification for this method: The suns just set and you need to start a fire. All you have is the very warm side of a boulder or cliff (thats facing west into the setting sun, of course) and a magnifying glass. You think to yourself, if you could just collect all that warmth in one place to get it hot enough to start a fire. Hmm then you remember a posting on a science forum
If Method 2 seems too weak or obvious, try this niftier method. Put a flat solid object (such as a metal plate, cast iron frying pan, slate, flagstone, etc) against the fire, and use it as the source of heat energy to focus with the magnifying glass. When the stone becomes too hot to touch, it should be radiating enough energy to burn paper. I just invented this method, so Im assuming this will work because we can sit in the sunlight okay and still start a fire with it, so a surface too hot to touch should definitely burn paper.
(Caution: Never put a stone in a river/water into or near a fire. Stones can become waterlogged over time, and when heated by the fire, the water can turn into steam and cause the stone to explode.)
Focal Length
For an approximation of focal length for Methods 2 and 3, use the focal length found when focusing light from the campfire. The image below shows that focal length is a function of wavelength, so the infrared focal length is even longer than that for red, thus, youll need to increase the focal length a bit to properly focus the heat (not light) from the fire or hot object. I have no proof that this method will work, but it seems like it should. Try it out first before you decide to use it.
