Where I stayed
The harsh reality was somewhat different, with our road trip adventure starting with tearing a hole in the roof less than 10 minutes after renting it, sweating the bit out in one of the world's hottest deserts with no air conditioning....and perhaps most importantly...running out of beer in Death Valley! Thankfully, this was America where no inhospitable landscape is without a steak grill, internet cafe and swimming pool...I shit you not...
After spending the evening in this desert oasis we returned to our RV, only to remember that we were in the middle of Death Valley and our RV had somehow managed to retain the sweltering heat from the day (despite Dave's best attempts at ventilating it)
Next morning was another early start, although we escaped a stoning from the locals this time! With the days objectives being to complete our last 119 miles into Vegas, to find a local mechanic who could reroof it for cheap and most importantly get Mark showered!
We arrived into Vegas fairly uneventfully (which for us is an achievement in itself) and spent the night in an RV park outside the main city, whilst we tried to figure out what to do about the gaping hole in the roof!
At this stage Matthew's fragile grasp on sanity was beginning to slip away, and led to him coining the timeless phrase, "Every facet of my life is falling apart, but I do have some rum left". We therefore spent our 1st evening outside Vegas, in a run down RV park, getting drunk beside the pool with only a group of wizened over 80's for company....the rum was pretty good though!
(The background to Matthew's 'facets' is rather extensive and unfortunately can't be covered in a family blog [adult content], please refer to 'Memoirs of M
D-DAY- Trip to the RV mechanic, with the hope of getting the RV repaired so we could return it without the rental company noticing. Quotes were as follows:
Roof patch up (which he explained would still look crap) - $3,000
Roof replacement - $5,000
Dave's Life Insurance Policy- $50,000
Hammer- $5
Understandably, this was fairly shocking news, and after short discussion we opted for 'offing' Dave for life insurance...nah, joking of course, the lifetime of slagging we're now entitled to is priceless, and for everything else there's Matthew's dads Mastercard!
Anyho, I feel this story has been dragged out long enough, lets just say there was an awkward phone call to Matthew's father (thanks again Mr. Williams!) in the early hours of the morning and that our bank accounts were somewhat lighter before we finally arrived in Vegas....now let the fun begin!
Now, I have to admit this is very exciting, not just because Vegas is world renowned for it's vibrant and wild party atmosphere but because I'm almost finished this cursed blog!! And the good news is, due to the vast quantity of alcohol consumed it should be a fairly short entry.
Fortunately, Dave's Aunt and Uncle very kindly offered to pay for our stay in Vegas, putting us up in the beautiful and luxurious Wynn hotel. The generosity that Barry and Alex provided during our stay was absolutely phenomenal and it's difficult for me to put into words how they made the last few days of our elective so exceptional!
Vegas itself was surreal, where nothing shocked, from a replica version of Venice, the dancing fountains of the Bellagio to the pirate ship battle of Treasure Island. We spent our time gambling (unsuccessfully admittedly), wining and fine dining, enjoying a luxury that we'd never experienced before, all courtesy of our generous hosts. Until finally it was time to pack our battered rucksacks one more time and board the last flight of our adventure.
And now I'm home, sitting on the sofa in tiny Ballyclare reflecting back on the trip of a lifetime, narcissistically preparing to thank my devoted readers, counting the ever increasing hole in the bank account and preparing for finals...or attempting to.
I would however, like to say a soppy big thanks to my girlfriend for putting up with me and letting me off the leash for this lads extravaganza
Over and out,
The End

|The Age home > Realfooty > Article
Hawthorn is waiting to see if coach Peter Schwab will travel to Tasmania with the playing squad next week after the sudden death of his father late on Thursday.
Frank Schwab died, aged 71, at Box Hill Hospital after a brief illness.
A former VFL umpire, Frank Schwab umpired 119 home and away matches from 1956-63, the pinnacle of his career coming in 1961 when he officiated the grand final between Hawthorn and Footscray, which the Hawks won to claim their first flag.
The brother of the late Alan Schwab, he is survived by his elder sister Joyce and his two sons, Peter and Ken.
His wife, Jean, died in August 2002.
Peter Schwab was expected to spend next week in Launceston at the Hawks community camp.
Late yesterday, Hawthorn officials were still unsure whether the coach would be able to participate in the camp in Tasmania.
Allan Nash, a former umpiring colleague, paid tribute to Frank Schwab yesterday.
"Frank was a lovely, well-liked man. Without doubt, he never had an enemy," he said. "He was a good umpire and nice young bloke."
AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou was in Perth yesterday for meetings with the two West Australian clubs.
As part of his meetings with all clubs before the start of the season, Demetriou has spent the past week visiting the six non-Victorian clubs. Yesterday was West Coast's and Fremantle's turn.
"It was good, they were basically outlining to us what the AFL sees as the big picture and the long-term strategic outlooks," Fremantle spokesman Keith Black said yesterday.
Meanwhile, Melbourne players braved the wet conditions yesterday morning at Optus Oval for a simulated match session.

Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., said, the MINER Act �is a major step forward for mine safety. This legislation will save lives. It will toughen safety standards. And it will mean fewer families will have to experience the pain that the Sago and Alma families are living with each day.� Besides the Sago deaths, six other miners have died in West Virginia this year, including two at the Aracoma Alma No. 1 mine in Logan County.Byrd also said on Wednesday that he believes the deaths at Sago and Aracoma �were entirely preventable� if communications technology, oxygen supplies and better underground mine seals had been in place.Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., urged House leaders to take the bill up quickly after it passes the Senate.�For the sake of the miners who died in the tragic accidents at Sago and Aracoma � and for the sake of the West Virginians and Americans who go into a mine every day � we cannot put this off any longer,� he said. �[House Majority Leader Bill Frist] should take up this bill before the Memorial Day recess.

I recently upgraded to 12.04 and found that with jackd latency coming out at 46mS, using my midi keyboard to play into rosegarden wasn't, in fact, very usable at all.
I found with some experimentation that I could get the latency figure down to a more usable 11mS by altering frames/period from 1024 down to 256.
Can someone give me an idea if there will be other repercussions to look out for? I seem to remember some online documentation for jackd that mentioned this, but I can't seem to find much in my searches.
I'm a guitar/bass player usually, so don't use keyboard input very often, maybe I should just change this parameter when I need to and stay at 1024 otherwise?

Kodak Gold 200: Expired But Still Full of Color!2013-07-08 3 7 Share Tweet
Recently, I found a dated roll of Kodak Gold 200 in my old camera bag. That roll had been in there for at least seven years, maybe even longer. It already expired at least five years ago.
Well, my camera bag was in the attic for years, and it is always pretty hot there in the summer, so these were really bad conditions to preserve rolls of film. Because I was wondering whether the roll would still give usable pictures, I put it in a simple plastic camera that I had received once as a gift from the Postbank. Then the little camera went with us on vacation to Paris.
First there was some doubt whether the roll was loaded correctly, but it turned out only the counter was broken. This resulted in some beautiful light leaks in the first pictures. Next, all family members shot some photos of the Paris landmarks, and of each other.
Because it was quite cloudy when making these pictures and already later in the afternoon, these are a little underexposed. The Postbank camera has a fixed aperture and shutter speed, and the iso 200 shows its limitations. Expired film becomes less sensitive to light over the years also. But precisely because of that, these pictures got a certain look that fits in well with the relaxed atmosphere of that afternoon in Paris.
Back in the Netherlands it turned out the roll was not yet completely full, and on a sunny afternoon the camera went with us to the swimming pool. At home we made a few family photos in the garden, where our youngest daughter managed to make an interesting composition.
Remarkably, these last pictures have become very bright and colorful, of course helped by the sun. But you can see that a pretty expired film certainly does not have to give unsatisfactory results. The Kodak Gold emulsion can certainly take a beating, and provides after many years, still the vivid colors it is known for!

Date of Stay: May, 2014
A small park, in the middle of the city of Peshtigo. Located in a park complex, including access to the Peshtigo river with boat launch, sand beach area, two pavilions available to rent, band shell with weekly Wednesday night music, horseshoe pits and 9 "hole" Frisbee golf course. Nice playground structures for the kids. Two public rest rooms, main with coin operated showers. Showers and rest rooms are closely monitored and kept clean. Campground host on site. Dump station. All sites have water and electric with picnic table, garbage cans and fire pits. Free Wi-Fi . Campground is separate from other activities. They also have two fairly new cabins to rent for $36/night. Both cabins have electric, twin bunks, a small table and two chairs. There is also water, a garbage can and a fire pit.
Date of Stay: March, 2014
An older campground, filled mostly by full time residents. Many older, run down trailers. Accommodates big rigs. WiFi is $1.00/night extra and a pain to deal with. Works sometimes and sometimes not. Propane sales on site. Small store with basic necessities. 24 hour laundry, reasonably priced. Local TV access only, no cable, or satellite. Nothing for the kids. A decent overnight stay. New Camping World and shopping available about 10-15 miles, south on I-5.
Date of Stay: January, 2014
I have been staying here monthly, for about 4 months. The sites are fairly close together. The park is well maintained. Prices are competitive. Office has a small store with very few items. There is a T/A truck stop on the same road, for any must have items. A new Camping World is just up the road, to be opened Spring of 2014. Propane sales on site. Very friendly staff. Fills up rather quickly during football season, UofO Ducks. Great over night campground.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
Stayed here for 2 nights. Campground is built into a hill and all gravel. I camped in a motorhome, but brought my motorcycle in a trailer. Hills, gravel, and motorcycles are not a good mix. sites are close together, not very level and roads are not identified. Small campground, but still needed to make a couple of passes to find the correct site number. People are friendly. Campground could use some upgrades. Level sites, repair sewer ground connectors, and WI-FI would be a nice addition.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
Stayed here for two nights while heading east. Convenient location just off the freeway. The owner is friendly and quite talkative. I didn't look around much. All the sites are gravel with some just having fresh gravel added. Not good for my Motorcycle. Cable TV is awesome. There were over 50 channels which is more than most campgrounds. The TV was welcomed. Little Bighorn Battleground is 20 minutes down the road. The office was cluttered, but wasn't an issue to me. Everything you need except a pool. I would stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2011
I am currently staying here for 1 month. The campground is clean, quiet with level, paved sites. Pool, and hot tub. Cable TV and free Wi-Fi. Gas and propane in the area. Management team is very friendly. Has a place to wash cars/RV's, no extra charge, a plus in my book. Most sites able to accommodate 40' rigs. I am leaving for the east next week, but will strong consider returning, for the fall.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
First time here. All we can say is "Wow! We will be back." This park is only about 4 years old, and they did it right. All sites are concrete. Many large pull through's to accommodate the largest rigs and tow vehicles. Very well landscaped grounds. Personal showers, including toilet and sink. Handicap accessible. Nice pool and hot tub, with "Adult's Only" times. If you like casino play, you can get a 10% discount on the stay, with a players card. Total cost came to $29.70 per night. Has 24-hour shuttle service to the casino and stores within-in reason, including the local golf course. Very friendly staff. Very secure, quiet location. An RVer's dream.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
Although the park wasn't manned during the week, prior to the regular season not yet started, the campground was fairly full. Easy self registration and accessibility to open camp sites. Close to a state highway, but not noisy. Sites were fairly level. Campground was clean, considering campers must monitor their own cleanliness.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
We stayed for three nights. When we registered, we requested a oceanfront site. They were unable to give us the same site for all three days, but they did make that happen; 1 night in one site, two nights in another. The campground is secured by an entry gate and kept clean. They promoted WiFi access, but the system was down, during our stay. While it is the closest campground to the city of Victoria, that distance is via water ferry. That can be quite costly, if that is your preferred transportation. The buses do not loop, and transportation can be a hassle, if you don't have your own. The closest feasible bus stop is about 6 blocks away, up a hill. There is an on-site coffee shop/restaurant. The view is spectacular. We were rewarded with seaplanes landing and taking off, on a regular basis, cruise ships arrivals, otters and various bird life, and the usual personal boat sightings. Very entertaining. Reservations were made on line and simple. We received confirmation, almost immediately. We will return.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
I have camped here many times, through the years. The owners are friendly, camping oriented people. Without a doubt, the best campground for adults, in the greater Dells area. Most campsites are pull through and big-rig friendly. There is lots of shade available. Super Wal-Mart is about a half mile away. It's close to all the activities, yet surprisingly quiet.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami men's tennis team jumped to No. 39 in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings released Tuesday, March 25, while senior Omar Aly has been ranked No. 92 as an individual.
The Hurricanes, who were No. 72 in last week's poll, defeated No. 18 Wake Forest and No. 31 NC State last week to make the leap. Miami has now downed three ranked ACC teams, including No. 52 Georgia Tech. The last time Miami men's tennis was ranked in the Top 30 was the week of Feb. 21, 2012, when the Canes were No. 36. UM started that year No. 31 and ended that season No. 69 in the ITA polls.
Senior Omar Aly is 12-3 this spring with a 7-2 mark in the top spot. Against Wake Forest, Aly defeated No. 20 Romain Bogaerts, 6-3, 7-6 (7-5) to earn the fourth point and get the team victory.
The Canes are currently riding a seven-match winning streak and have won 10 of their last 11 outings after defeating the University of Nebraska Omaha, 7-0, on Tuesday.
Miami hits the road for a pair of ACC matches this weekend, facing No. 4 Virginia on Friday at 3 p.m. and No. 54 Virginia Tech on Sunday at 12 p.m.

An Autobiography HTML version
Proportional Representation And Federation
In the debates of the Federal Convention I was naturally much interested. Many times I
regretted my failure to win a seat when I saw how, in spite of warnings against, and years
of lamentable experience of, a vicious system of voting, the members of the Convention
went calmly on their way, accepting as a matter of course the crude and haphazard
methods known to them, the unscientific system of voting so dear to the heart of the
"middling" politician and the party intriguer. I believe Mr. Glynn alone raised his voice in
favour of proportional representation, in the Convention, as he has done consistently in
every representative assembly of which he has been a member. Instead of seeing to it that
the foundations of the Commonwealth were "broad based upon the people's will" by the
adoption of effective voting, and thus maintaining the necessary connection between the
representative and the represented, these thinkers for the people at the very outset of
federation sowed the seeds of future discontent and Federal apathy. Faced with
disfranchisement for three or six years, possibly for ever--so long as the present system of
voting remains--it is unreasonable to expect from the people as a whole that interest in
the national well-being which alone can lead to the safety of a progressive nation.
Proportional representation was for long talked of as a device for representing minorities.
It is only in recent years that the real scope of the reform has been recognised. By no
other means than the adoption of the single transferable vote can the rule of the majority
obtain. The fundamental principle of proportional representation is that majorities must
rule, but that minorities shall be adequately represented. An intelligent minority of
representatives has great weight and influence. Its voice can be heard. It can fully and
truly express the views of the voters it represents. It can watch the majority and keep it
straight. These clear rights of the minority are denied by the use of the multiple vote. It
has also been asked--Can a Government be as strong as it needs to be when--besides the
organized Ministerial party and the recogonised Opposition--there may be a larger
number of independent members than at present who may vote either way? It is quite
possible for a Government to be too strong, and this is especially dangerous in Australia,
where there are so many of what are known as optional functions of government
undertaken and administered by the Ministry of the day, resting on a majority in the
Legislature. To maintain this ascendancy concessions are made to the personal interests
of members or to local or class interests of their constituencies at the cost of the whole
When introducing proportional representation into the Belgian Chamber the Prime
Minister (M. Bernhaert) spoke well and forcibly on the subject of a strong Government:--
I, who have the honour of speaking to you to-day in the name of the Government and
who have at my back the strongest majority that was ever known in Belgium, owe it to
truth to say that our opinions have not a corresponding preponderance in the country; and
I believe that, if that majority were always correctly expressed, we should gain in stability
what we might lose in apparent strength. Gentlemen, in the actual state of things, to
whom belongs the Government of the country? It belongs to some two or three thousand

The Merely Personal: Observations on Science and Scientists. Jeremy Bernstein. x + 246 pp. Ivan R. Dee, 2001. $26.
The Merely Personal (a phrase used by Einstein to describe the parts of his life less important than physics) is a collection of essays by Jeremy Bernstein, a theoretical physicist who for many years also served as a staff writer for The New Yorker. I occasionally thumb through a copy of the magazine at the dentist or barbershop, but perhaps because I have good teeth and no excess of hair, I had never before read a Bernstein essay. A physicist who writes for the general public is a curiosity, like the Russian dancing bear mentioned in one of these essays. But to perform in The New Yorker, the bear must also dance superbly. I approached this book with some pleasure.
Bernstein does write well, and he covers a lot of interesting ground. An article on the Bobby Fischer—Boris Spassky chess match of 1972 is an anomaly—most of the essays are about scientists or about scientists and poets, and, as it turns out, all of them are about Dr. Bernstein. For example, one that concerns a possible meeting between Johannes Kepler and the poet John Donne is mostly about Bernstein's needlessly elliptical investigation of the matter (in the end there appears to have been a brief encounter between the two, in which neither had the foggiest idea who the other was). Bernstein's style is to interject his first-person self wherever possible. Phrases such as "I will return to this point shortly" appear on nearly every page.
Sometimes he interjects himself in less innocent ways. In "Tom Stoppard's Quantum," he rips into the playwright for botching elementary quantum mechanics. In Stoppard's play Hapgood, a physicist named Kerner, who is also a double agent, explains the wave-particle duality to a British agent named Blair. The conceit here is that a double agent is like an electron. Trying to find out which side he's on, as Blair is doing, changes the result. The substance of Kerner's explanation comes right out of Volume III, Chapter 1, of The Feynman Lectures on Physics. But Bernstein, who describes himself as "a Stoppardian of the deepest dye," finds Stoppard's version not merely wrong, but intolerable, an affront to physics that must be set right. His point is that there is no wave-particle duality. The problem only arises if we make the semantic mistake of trying to describe what photons and electrons do using words like wave and particle.
Here I have to come clean and disclose my own bias. (Interjecting myself is a trick I learned from Bernstein.) Years ago, when Hapgood opened in Los Angeles, Tom Stoppard called me up ("a cold phone call" as he later described it) to ask whether I would show him and his son Oliver around Caltech. Oliver was just entering graduate school in physics, and Tom wanted to see where Feynman had dwelt. We have been in friendly contact ever since. That said, I think that Feynman (also a personal friend) would have been thrilled with Stoppard's brilliant riff on his account of the two-slit experiment, and that the majority of physicists would find it entirely unobjectionable.
Nevertheless, Bernstein goes on the attack. His technique is to quote from Kerner's dialogue with Blair, interspersing his own commentaries in brackets.
Let me illustrate by turning the tables and using the same technique on Bernstein. In a different essay he writes, "But the quantum mechanical oscillator always has a residual energy, which is usually called the zero-point energy. [Up to here he has it mostly right.] A collection of such oscillators can never be at the absolute zero of temperature because of this residual energy. [Wrong! The absolute zero of temperature cannot be reached, and all oscillators do have zero-point energy, but these two facts are completely unrelated. If a macroscopic body were in its ground state, zero-point energy and all, its temperature would be absolute zero, contrary to what Bernstein says.]" Incidentally, Bernstein's blunder comes in the essay he calls "Einstein's Blunder."
Bernstein clearly has a thing about Feynman. Of course he never attacks him directly—that would be physicist heresy. But he does attack, not only indirectly through Stoppard, but also through the editors of Six Not-So-Easy Pieces, which Bernstein regards as unfit to be read by anyone. I don't know how many people have actually read that sequel to Six Easy Pieces, a collection of the more accessible of The Feynman Lectures, but it has certainly been purchased by multitudes. Bernstein's problem with Feynman may have originated in his failed attempt to do a New Yorker profile of him. That story too is in the book.
The book ends with an essay about A Beautiful Mind, a biography of John Nash by Sylvia Nasar. As it happens, I know the book because I reviewed it for The New York Times. Here Bernstein goes about his Bernsteinian business, excoriating Nasar for a couple of trivial errors in mathematics and enlightening us on the meaning of Nash equilibrium. It is true that Nasar is not strong technically (I had to call an economist friend to find out about Nash equilibrium), but it's a fine book nevertheless.
Bernstein's book is actually fun to read, for its subject matter, its erudition and its ineffable snobbery. Most readers will be denied the malicious pleasure I had in writing this review, but The Merely Personal is worth a read anyway.—David Goodstein, Physics and Applied Physics, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has awarded a Dh802-million contract to construct the Dubai canal, footbridges and marine transit stations under phase 3 of the Dh2 billion Dubai Water Canal (DWC) project. Work on the project will start by June and is expected to finish by September 2016. Belhasa Six Construct Co will undertake the construction of this phase of the project.
Works in phase 3 are timed with the completion of Phase I, which started in September 2013.
Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of the RTA, said the phase 3 of the project comprises the construction of a water canal linking the Dubai Creek with the Arabian Gulf extending from the Shaikh Zayed Road, passing across Al Safa Park and Jumeirah 2, and terminating at the Arabian Gulf near the southern end of the Jumeirah Beach Park.
This phase covers the drilling of the water canal, constructing sides of the canal, constructing three footbridges linking the two banks of the canal, and constructing four marine transit stations to boost the role of marine transport particularly after the completion of the construction of a number of islands in the Arabian Gulf such as The World Islands and Jumeirah 2 Islands.
It also includes filling works to construct an artificial peninsula across the Jumeirah Park, which will double the length of the park beach, increase the area of the park, and offer room for adding more recreational activities.
Al Tayer said marine transit modes are expected to attract more than six million riders per annum, according to the strategic marine transport plan in Dubai. The canal will also boost the profile of Dubai as a leading destination of sea cruises.
He said the awarding of this contract has brought the total cost of the three phases of the DWC project to Dh1.766 billion.
In November 2013, the RTA awarded a Dh580-million contract to Turkish Gunal for the construction of the first phase of the road and bridge network of the DWC project. Earlier last month, the RTA also awarded a construction contract for the second phase of the project to China State Corporation.
The projects construction works have been split into three contracts. The first comprises the construction of an eight-lane bridge in each direction on the Shaikh Zayed Road above the course of the canal, allowing free navigation round-the-clock, and the modification of lanes of impacted roads to ensure integrated traffic movement between the two shores of the canal.
This phase also includes the construction of a bridge on Shaikh Zayed Road that passes through the highest point of the canal, allowing free maritime movement 24 hours a day.
Phase 2 of the project, costing about Dh384 million, includes constructing bridges on Al Wasl and Jumeirah Roads across the canal, allowing the passage of yachts up to 8.5 meters high. It also includes the construction of a free multi-tier interchange to link the traffic movement between Al Wasl, Al Hadiqa and Al Athar Roads to ensure smooth traffic flow after the completion of the project to replace the existing traffic signals. It also includes construction of bridges linking with the proposed peninsula to the south of the Jumeirah Park, shifting utility lines via conduits passing beneath the canal, and providing spare ducts for services under the canal to meet anticipated future needs.
Al Tayer said the RTA has already laid out a plan regarding temporary traffic diversions to ensure a smooth traffic flow, which will have the same number of lanes currently being used by the roads.
He said the company undertaking construction of the initial phase of the project will start construction works on the traffic diversion on the Shaikh Zayed Road in the direction from Dubai to Abu Dhabi next July and the traffic movement will be diverted from October 25.

This is a nice change from Thai chicken curry. Leftover turkey or pork can be substituted for the chicken.
Servings: 4
- For the noodles
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced into crescent-moon shapes, or 6 shallots, cut crosswise into thin slices
- 4 medium cloves garlic, cut crosswise into very thin slices
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 tablespoons red thai curry paste
- 14 ounces (1 can) low-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup homemade or no-salt-added chicken broth, such as Kitchen Basics
- 2 1/2 cups leftover cooked chicken, in chunks (may substitute cooked turkey or pork)
- 1/2 teaspoon light brown sugar, or to taste
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce, or to taste
- Juice of 1/2 lime, or to taste
- 12 ounces dried chinese wheat noodles
- For serving
- 2 scallions, white and light-green parts, cut on the diagonal
- 1 small red chili pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into very thin strips (julienne) or shredded
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges, for serving
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Add the onion or shallots and cook for about 6 minutes, until golden.
Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring, then add the turmeric and curry paste. Cook for 1 minute, stirring, until the spices become fragrant, then stir in the coconut milk and broth. Once the mixture starts to bubble at the edges, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes.
Stir in the chicken; cook until heated through. Add the sugar, fish sauce and lime juice; taste, and adjust the amounts of those 3 ingredients as needed. Keep warm on the lowest setting or remove from the heat.
Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain.
Divide the noodles among individual bowls. Spoon the chicken curry over each portion, then garnish with the scallions, red chili pepper and cilantro.
Serve hot, with wedges of lime.

Boy Burns SelfWith Mother's Lighter
Asix-year-old Far Rockaway boy suffered serious burns to his chest on Friday, after he accidentally set himself on fire with his mother's cigarette lighter, police say.
Loud screams brought Cynthia Holmes into her son's bedroom at about 1:30 a.m. on September 7.
She found her son, Nasir, on fire. The mother of four yanked off his burning t-shirt and tried to calm him down, as he cried out in pain, relatives said.
Nasir, who suffered second-degree burns, was taken to Nassau University Medical Center, where he remains in stable condition, sources say.
Sources at the hospital said that his undershirt caught fire as he tried to burn a small, round hole in it with his mother's cigarette lighter.

Gombis ( The Drama of Ephesians: Participating in the Triumph of God , 51-2)illustrates the way powers work by transcending individual choice and creating enslaving institutions by describing a discovery that he and his wife made when they began to work with the urban poor. Why do people remain in poverty, he wondered, when "there are endless government programs and charities available." His answer is that "the mind-numbing complexity of government agencies works to ensure that people will never get out of poverty. At least it's the case that people in poverty feel that way."
He explains further: "The endless demand by agencies for documentation and the overlap of government organizations leaves people feeling defeated, depressed, and discouraged . . . . let's say my friend John identifies four agencies that he can utilize to get help. He goes to the first one and finds that if he gets a job, then he loses the benefits he's already getting that allow him to feed his family. He goes to the second and finds that if he makes a certain amount of money, which is slightly less than he's currently receiving from the government, he forfeits the help that agency gives. At the third, he finds that if he gets the help that the other two agencies offer, he can't get any benefits from this one. Not only this, but every time he goes back, he is told that he needs yet another form that he was not made aware of previously. After a few days or weeks going around to the various agencies and being treated as just another nuisance, John is discouraged and finds that he'd rather maintain the status quo and allow his family to at least eat."

Best Health Food Store
In a world of supermarket-sized health food stores, complete with mergers and corporate takeovers, we love this little individually owned gem tucked away in a tiny shopping plaza in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Nature Boy has a small but specially selected stock, a full menu, a handful of aromatic daily specials, and a long counter staffed by a friendly proprietor. The place screams, "Welcome." The shelves feature vitamins, a focused array of packaged and canned goods, and a refrigerator full of healthful drinks. The Far Out Salad takes us back to the '70s, as does the prominently featured brown rice and the alfalfa sprouts you can add to any of the dishes. A dozen types of smoothies, miso or seasonal soups, salads, sandwiches, nori rolls, and a couple of varieties of tofu round out the menu. The store closes at 5 p.m., which guarantees friendly service -- who wants to buy food guaranteed free of artificial growth hormones from a cranky, overworked proprietor? This woman knows how to take care of herself so she can come back the next day and provide you with some tasty nutrition.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
This is the first of a weekly column on all things New England Patriots.
Sunday was just great. There's nothing like the opening day of the NFL. It may not have the history of opening day in Major League Baseball, but seeing your team run out of the tunnel onto the field for the first time still gives me goosebumps.
Before the 2004 season (the year the Pats took down the Eagles), I remember looking at the schedule and the Patriots roster and commenting to a friend, 'In all honesty, we shouldn't lose more than a game or two all season.' Well, the Patriots proved me right, losing only to Pittsburgh on the road and that bizarre collapse by Brady and the boys on Monday Night Football against the Dolphins. Other than that, the prophecy was filled and the Pats beat both co-NFL MVPs on their way to a Super Bowl XXXIX win against the Eagles.
Get ready New England, because our team is locked, loaded and ready to start the march towards Super Bowl XLII in Phoenix.
The Patriots were simply dominant in Sunday's 38-14 win over the J-E-T-S, Jets Jets Jets. Despite missing two of their defensive stop gaps in Rodney Harrison and Richard Seymour, the Pats never seemed in any trouble of faltering in against the unproven Jets. That's the key thing to remember here. The Jets may be the best competition in the AFC East this season but they are far from an elite team. After consulting several different media outlets it's apparent that not only are the Patriots receiving heaps of accolades from their performance, but everyone seems to be keeping the good start in perspective. The Pats have no room for error with the San Diego Chargers coming into town next Sunday night.
Tom Brady now has an arsenal of reliable weapons. Randy Moss now has a coach-quarterback combo that even he can't complain about. Wes Welker has as many touchdowns in one week than he had all of last season. And Donte Stallworth only caught one pass in the blowout win!
The offensive line was simply outstanding on Sunday as Brady never tasted dirt and had a jersey as clean as the Pope's driving record. If the line can keep some semblance of that dominance in the future, there is no way defenses will be able to stop the Patriots attack. Injuries will take its toll and the Jets do not possess a dominant pass rusher, but anytime you can give your quarterback the time to look to three or four options, it's commendable.
A story broke yesterday that someone "with the Patriots" was caught taping the Jets' defensive coaches while they signaled in plays. My first reaction is "so what", and my second reaction is, well, "so what!?". First off, nothing has been proven so far, so it's tough to react on allegations. But if true, not only would I suggest that most teams in most sports try to get an edge (though I would hope most would be more conspicuous about it) but that the Patriots don't need to know what defense the Jets are running to run rings around the Meadowlands.
Adalius Thomas dropped an easy interception and overall didn't have much of an impact. I'd like to believe he is still acclimating to the inside linebacker position. While one Patriot favorite seemed non-existent (Tedy Bruschi – four tackles) another is back at his old position and thriving. Mike Vrabel recorded seven tackles and two and a half sacks on Sunday. Because of the addition of Thomas and the return of Seau, Vrabel will be able to come off the edge and remind us of his glory years (remember now, he was the pass rusher which forced Kurt Warner to throw a second quarter interception returned for a touchdown by Ty Law in Super Bowl XXXVI). This defense – once Harrison and Seymour return – will be better than any of the defenses the Patriots Super Bowl teams had.
This Sunday night, we'll find out more about this Patriots team. It is not a win or die game however. If the Patriots fall to the highly talented Chargers we won't look back to the Jets win as an aberration. The Patriots will dominate inferior teams this year like we've never seen them do. How they'll fare against the likes of San Diego and Cincinnati remains to be seen.
One thing is for sure: I will be one of the 65,000+ screaming Patriots fans at The Razor next Sunday night with the expectations that Brady, Moss and company can show just how much potential this Patriots team has. Enjoy this season Patriots fans, it could be something special.
Football is back.

The Truth about Tattoos HTML version
Storm and the Winds and the Weather, they worshipped the Gods of Fertility, and they
had tremendous perverse acts went with it - and they got themselves tattooed.
It was part of the allegiance to their Gods that they had the tattoos. A tattoo's just a
mark in ink, but actually it's what it opens your life to, is what's important.
So when God gives this command, He's talking in the context of making sure you don't
get defiled by demonic powers. Notice what He says here:
Verse 4 - "Do not turn to idols, nor make yourself moulded Gods, for I am the Lord your
Verse 28 – "You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh. Don't mark, cut or destroy or
blemish your flesh for the dead; nor any tattoo marks on you, for I am the Lord".
You go down a little further, and then He begins to talk more in Exodus 20:1, He talks
about then the practices in the land; so this scripture on tattooing is set in the context of
occult involvement that went on in Egypt, and went on in Canaan.
God was quite strong, and very forceful, in His directions about being involved in the
occult. He said: "do not be defiled by them". Do not do any of these abominations. In
other words, do not open your life to occult practices in any way - you will give room for
demonic powers to enter your life.
So the reason that God set this principle in place was because He knew the connection
between: tattooing, and the occult realm. He wanted to keep His people free from occult
involvement, so that they could walk in the blessings and inherit their land.
So the only other places that there are references to this kind of thing - of the cutting of
the flesh - are found in 1 Kings 18.
Remember the story when Elijah had a confrontation with the prophets of Baal; and
when he had a confrontation with them, he called on them to demonstrate the power,
the supernatural power of their Gods.
What they did was, they began to cut their flesh! They made themselves bleed; and he
just mocked them and belittled them; and then demonstrated the true power of a
covenant keeping God.
In the New Testament, there's a story of a man called the Gadarene, in Mark 5. When
we look at that man, he was heavily demonised. He had a legion of demons in him -
that's 6,000 demons.
Here's the interesting thing it said: "when he came near Jesus, the demons began to
manifest" - and the guy used to cut himself! So you notice the cutting, the marking of the

Whanganui Police are still seeking information on three youths who held up the Castlecliff Four Square with a tomahawk at the weekend, the latest incident in a spate of robberies in the city.
And police are warning copycats to think again, with a maximum sentence of 14 years in jail awaiting those who commit such crimes.
The shop was targeted on Saturday night and saw three young men, believed to be in their mid to late teens, threaten the shopkeeper with a tomahawk and escape with cash and cigarettes in a stolen Subaru Forester stationwagon.
The car was found in the shed of an unoccupied Cornfoot St house, having been reported stolen on August 20, the day the Fitzherbert Ave dairy was robbed.
Whanganui CIB detective senior sergeant David Kirby said one youth wore a distinctive green Boston Celtics basketball singlet with the number 01, light-coloured tracksuit pants and black shoes.
The others wore dark jackets and pants. One had a hooded jacket and the other wore a vest over his jacket. Scarves and hoods obscured their faces.
Mr Kirby said robberies tended to come in cycles and, over the past three months, there had been an increase in the number of robberies of dairies, shops and residential homes.
While some arrests had been made, including those responsible for brandishing a knife at the Rangitikei St store, others, like Saturday's robbery and two recent robberies of the Fitzherbert Ave Dairy, were ongoing investigations.
In particular, the increase in frequency of robberies of cigarette outlets had increased since cigarette prices had gone up.
However, Mr Kirby warned anyone contemplating such an offence as an easy, quick way to get cigarettes and cash that they would be caught and faced a maximum 14 years in prison.
As in the latest robbery, where two witnesses were in the shop at the time it was held up, Mr Kirby said people who found themselves in that situation were advised not to aggravate the situation.
If possible, they should take a good look at the offenders, taking in details of their clothing, voice and facial features - but only if they could do it safely.
Robbers were usually in a heightened state of excitement and it didn't take much for them to do things they hadn't planned, including harming people.
Whanganui Police would like to hear from anyone aware of cigarettes being sold cheaply, or who saw the Subaru stationwagon from Saturday's robbery between August 20 and 26 or knew anything about the distinctive basketball singlet or the robbers. Contact Constable Tim Cameron, on 349 0672.

how to check the processor in the computer is 45nm or 65nm without looking inside the processor. And also what is the difference between 45nm and 65 nm other than the size?
How-To Geek Forums / Build Your Own PC
how to check the processor in the computer is 45nm or 65nm?(2 posts)
Get CPU-Z, it will give you all the info on your cpu, mobo, and ram. http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
Other than the size, the main difference is the transistor density on the chip. The smaller chips usually run a bit cooler and usually draw a bit less power.

text: juniors declare mario top-5 vernnon top -10 santonio mid first maroney late first pollard late firs 2n ray CB/returner Devin Hester, Miami kindo of a surprise. know nas las lethal returnman and really a non-factor much of the season 1 INT 11 tackels (punt 14.2, KO 18.5) ... he averages. He has not yet been able to carve a nitch as to what position he will play, He didnt put it all together in college so he will have to do it at NFL. RB Laurence Maroney, Minnesota (5-11, 207) Been productive the last two years. only thing that bothers me is yards per carry has gone from spectacular to good (6.9 as a freshman to 5.2 as a junior). figures to be in the late first round TE Vernon Davis, Maryland (6-3, 250) doubt you will find - ever - with more physical gifts. how many. Spectacular pass-catching tight end. He should project in the top 10 of the first round. WR Santonio Holmes, Ohio State (5-10, 180) Best junior WR and with senior class mediocre (Derek Hagan and Moss Miami) he could be the first receiver to come off the board. Averaged almost 18 yards a catch. middle of the first round DE Mario Williams, NC State (6-6, 285) 20 TFL, 13 sacks Does at times fade from the action that is the only knock on him. But with the way he finished, 10.5 sacks in 3 games (vs USM and Maryland). He has physical gifts but does need to be more consistent. has a chance to be elite DE in the NFL. Based on that he should be a top-5 pick. WR Greg Lee, Pittsburgh 6-1.5, 200 2004 showcased plenty of talent, looked like he could develop into a great receiver as a sophomore. receptions went down 68 to 49 but did show big-play ability when he had his hand on the ball (19.6 yards per catch) .. does drop very catachable balls. based on talent and 20 YPC wouldnt surprise me if he was a 2nd- or 3rd-round pick. S Bernard Pollard, Purdue (6-2, 228) Linebacker size with great run-support skills. DE Ray Edwards, Purdue (6-5, 273) this was a D that was supposed to be one of the best in college FB and was anything but. could end up being a 2nd-round draft choice. Notable bowl game performances TE Owen Daniels, Wisconsin 3 receptions,46 yards, 1 TD in win over Auburn CB Marcus Hudson, NC State, CB (6-2, 203) QB Marques Hagans, Virginia (5-9 1/2, 220) 25-32-358 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT in win over Minnesota ------------- I'm pretty surprised at some of the typos, but it's something.

Reality check
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 10, 2015POSTED: Tuesday, November 10, 2015
The customer called and requested a service call to diagnose her failed water heater. The heater was diagnosed, parts ordered and we collected $125 as quoted for the first visit.
Second visit was scheduled and we returned upon the part arriving at the home. Upon arrival, we were sent away by a male who answered the door.
Recorded phone calls were made to figure out what the situation was. No return calls. We then received the customer's check back as cancelled. Not sure how this customer sees this as a rip off. The reality is this customer committed a crime, theft of services followed by defamation. Upon contacting the customer, she expressed that she was unaware of this report.

We went out Saturday for our last duck hunt for the season. It started ruff, while building up our blind my dad stabbed himself in the eye with one of the bushes. When he jerked away it ripped his glasses off and into the lake. After feeling around the freezing water for ½ hour we gave up. Luckily he still had his old pair in the truck, but it was a long walk back to the truck for me to get them (he stayed behind to finish setting up). We cut it close to opening time, with me getting back 5min to opening and finish setting right as it opened. It then started to improve. As we both shot birds before 3 min. into the hunt. In the end we both limited on ducks.
Me) 2 Drake gadwall, 2 drake shoveler (one had rice breast), a hen pintail (had my first band on its leg) and a drake pintail (going to the taxi). 3 Ross and 2 snow as well
Dad) 2 Drake Gadwall, 1 Drake pintail, 1 hen shoveler (had rice breast) a drake green head, and a green wing teal. 1 Ross 2 snows as well. (Not bad for shooting half blind)
The band info was not in their data base. They said it is most likely because they have not received the data from the bander yet. Sooooo How long does it take for the bander to get the info in? It was a juvenile hen clearly banded recently, so I am sure the data is not mind blowing but I am still dyeing to know.
Summery: 2 limits, first band, bird to the taxi, memories money cannot buy. Yep it was the best hunt of the year for me. (This is 2 years in a row I have gotten my taxi duck on the last day of the year)
