Connect the BNC interface of the receiver to the monitor or other recording equipments.The clamping order of the modular plug is shown as follows (TIA/EIA-568B):Adjusting method:Adjust "BRIGHTNESS" knob to adjust the image brightness, then adjust "SHARPNESS" dial switch to compensate the image sharpness and color. The compensation size in turn is 1 as minimum and 4 as maximum. Pressing dial switch shows the compensation of this position is turned on. Next or multiple switches can be pressed according to the requirements. The four dial switches can compose 16 compensation values (as shown in the following figure) to meet the requirements of different transmission distances.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhy does my video look like a scrambled Cable TV signal?This typically indicates reversed polarity. Can shielded twisted pair be used?Some customers have successfully used shielded wire up to a few hundred feet. However we do not recommend it. Its high-frequency roll-off will severely degrade the distance performance. Can Category 6 wire be used?Yes. Unshielded Twisted Pair wire, Category 5 or better, can be used with UTP video transceiver.Can I transmit more than one video signal in a multi-pair wire bundle?Yes. One of the benefits of using UTP video transceivers is interference rejection. UTP video signals can reside in the same wire bundle as multiple video signals, ringing telephones, Ethernet, low voltage power, RS-422, RS-485, etc.Application Diagram Other products 24vac 2.5amp ac power supply for 9 surveillance cameras (24vac2.5a9p) Price: contract price 12vdc 25a rack mount cctv power supply (12vdc25a16p/r) Price: contract price 24w 24vdc 1a iec60950 plug-in cctv power supply with south african plug (s2410z) Price: contract price Single channel screwless cctv passive video balun(vb103e) Price: contract price Company Info Chinasky Electronics Co.,ltd Contact Person: SylviaWang SylviaWang Phone: 86-0086-85854305 Contact now × Contact form Your name: Your E-mail: Your Phone: Subject: Enter a message: Close

Derry city is one of the oldest inhabited settlements in Ireland and has a fascinating history. 'The Story of Derry' exhibition uses a wide range of techniques and artefacts to narrate the story from monastic times, plantation, siege of Derry, through to the growth of Derry during the 18th and 19th centuries. The city played its own part in the dramatic events of the early 20th century and during partition. Life during the 20th century is also outlined, in particular the build up to the Civil Rights Movement and the impact of the Troubles on the people living here. The exhibition ends with a glimpse of where the city is today.
'An Armada shipwreck – La Trinidad Valencera' narrates the story of La Trinidad Valencera, one of the largest ships in the Armada Fleet. In 1588 it foundered in Kinnagoe Bay in Co. Donegal during a violent storm and was discovered nearly 400 years later by divers from the City of Derry Sub Aqua Club. The exhibition tells the story of the people involved, the soldiers and sailors aboard the Trinidad Valencera and the divers and archaeologists who discovered and excavated the ship.
An array of exciting artefacts on loan from the Ulster Museum, recovered from the ship includes cannons, textiles, pottery, wooden bowls, pewter dishes, goblets, coins and shoes along with many other items. Innovative exhibition design and layout encourage a sense of exploration and discovery while audio-visual and interactive displays offer a wealth of information for student, visitor and tourist alike. Audio guides of the exhibition are available in a choice of six languages.
Highlights include:
- The Story of Derry' exhibition uses a wide range of techniques and artefacts to narrate the story.
- 'An Armada shipwreck' narrates the story of La Trinidad Valencera, one of the largest ships in the Armada Fleet.
- The Discovery Zone - find out more about archaeology, dinosaurs, early people, Colmcille, woodlands and the contemporary City.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I'm don't usually leave company reviews but I feel that the internet does provide an oppurtunity to share the other side of the story with the consumer since companies spend huge amounts of money to mold the image they want the consumer to see whether or not that image is true. I can tell you that the image this company is projecting is not the way they deal with the customer once something does not turn out the way it was suppose to or according to the expectations the customer was given.
I purchased a mattress from this company because of I thought they had a good product at a competitive price. That being said my experience was very different. After I purchased a mattress and got it home I found that the mattress was very different from the display model my wife and I had tested in the store. I immediately contacted the sales person and she sent my concern to the corporate office. A short time later I was contacted by an individual who claimed to be a V. P. or district manager or such. The person was rather condesending in their discussion with me and admitted that there are 8 levels of firmness you may actually get opposed to the product you would have expected having tried the display model. That in itself is an admission they have no quality control standards. The company would not allow me to return the product (many companies will allow this and you should only do business with one of these) but offered to provide a pad that could be placed on top of the mattress as a supposed 'fix' for the problem.
In conclusion 'Don't do business with this company' would be my only recommendation. Do business with a company that places customer service before profits and has enough confidence in their product to truly stand behind it.

White Screen of Death!
From: [ Version 32.0.1700.95 (Platform version: 4920.71.0)]
The latest update : [ Version 32.0.1700.103 (Platform version: 4920.82.0)]
Had a really strange effect on my system. Whenever I started booting up the system right after the update, I would just go into a cycle of white screens or I would see the default background for a few minutes and then it would just turn all white! It got so annoying, I started calling Acer Laptops about it and requesting a Chrome OS Ninja for help on this issue. They said I would have to send in my laptop and wait 7 to 10 business days for it to be resolved. I didn't have that time or luxury to not be without a laptop so I went back on my resolve to figure this little issue out. The only thing I could come up with is to go download a new version of Chrome OS for my Acer Laptop by using Windows Recovery Option. Strange Google should have a way for me to download an ISO of the latest version without having to having to do these steps.
Recovery Options
By Pressing Esc+Refresh then hold down the Power button. I was able to bring up the "Chrome OS is missing or damaged" message and then after I made a new usb card for my device it booted without a problem. I do not know what actually happened but it was quite frustrating and Google needs to start providing more ways to recover the system without having to go through so many hoops.
Has anyone else had this type of problem? I'd like to know!

So my wife and I are expecting number 3, we've recently discovered. First thing she asked me was can I brew an O'douls clone. I, in my infinite wisdom immediately said Honey it's like brewing a light beer at home- too much difficulty/control variables- and really- you'd want 5gallons of it?
Now, I think, maybe she'd appreciate it-and I do have that 3gallon carboy.
Anyone go there? Not for #3, but for N/A brew? I gotta admit, I've posted before doing ANY homework.

Ash Cloud Expected Over the North
Ash from Iceland's Eyjafjöll volcano may cause problems in the airspace over northern parts of Finland this coming weekend.
The Finnish Meteorological Institute is forecasting a shift in winds that could bring a cloud of ash over the north starting on Friday.
Forecasts of the movements of the ash cloud are still tentative, but projections over the past three days have indicated that it will move into northern Finnish airspace within a few more days.
Earlier this week, ash from the volcano again disrupted air traffic in parts of western Europe, forcing airport closings, for example, in the UK and the Netherlands.

New member and already need advice!
Well after lurking on here and reading I finally joined :)
I have wanted a jeep for a long time and finally bought a 2003 TJ on Thursday. Got one in amazing shape with low mileage even had it checked out by a mechanic to be safe and it passed with flying colors. Brought it home and put it in the garage and already over night there is a puddle of power strewing fluid on the ground no bigger than the palm of my hand. I had a quick look and it looks like it is the steering box.
Obviously took it right back to the shop that gave it the mechanical the day before. They told me there was no leak at all and I had to go and show them where it was coming from. They said a seal maybe in the future but that it wasn't a big deal and not to fix it yet and they recommended just leaving it till it gets worse because it was almost undetectable. They even offered to show me how to check my power steering fluid apparently cause I am a girl I must not know how to do this lol!
Anyway I have read a fair bit on here about steering box on the 2003 TJ's and i am still not sure on what my options are? The Durango box won't just bolt on, but is it still possible to make it work, if the stock boxes aren't very good replacing it with one just doesn't make sence, can the leak be fixed? Do I just leave it for now? I was hoping for at least a few months before I had to start getting dirty and fixing things that's why I had a mechanic check it over! It not my DD so I can afford to be patient. Any advice is appreciated!
This may not work for everyone, but I ordered a little additive on the internet called AT205 leak sealer. It swells up rubber seals and is effective at stopping leaks in them. In any case, after pouring this in to my power steering pump the leak has stopped over time. Some auto parts stores sell it but it's hard to find there. I recommend amazon.
It either has a leak or not. A palm size puddle overnight isn't something I would ignore. You need a new mechanic. Additive to stop any fluid leak? Never!!
It definitely has a leak! And yes I will NOT be going back to that shop again I am very mad they didn't notice the leak or I could have negotiated the price I paid for the jeep, still would have bought it but would have taken a few bucks off the price. That is why I had a mechanic check it over before I bought it.
Still not sure what my best fix is though replace with another crappy stock box, any better ones out there? And of course how much is it gonna cost me?

News: Tagged as Communication Arts Typographic Annual
Communication Arts Award for FF Franziska
We are delighted to announce that one of our newest FontFonts, FF Franziska by Jakob Runge, has been included in the prestigious Communication Arts 2015 Typography Annual.
The latest annual is the fifth edition and 140 winners were picked from over 1,800 entries. This year's judges included John Clark, Juan Carlos Pagan and Laura Worthington.
Jakob Runge's typeface FF Franziska started life as his Master's thesis at Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel, Germany. A hybrid of a serif and slab serif, it is discreet, functional and modern yet has a real playful personality and is great for body text. Read the full story behind FF Franziska on FFFranziska.com.
Previous FontFont winners of the Communication Arts Typographic Annual include:
- Slávka Pauliková's FF Dora
- Felix Braden's FF Scuba
- Nina Stössinger's FF Ernestine

Communication Arts Award for FF Dora
Seven days into 2014 and we've already received an award!
We are excited to announce that FF Dora by Slávka Pauliková is listed as one of the best Typeface Designs of 2014 in the Communication Arts Typographic Annual 2014.
Showcasing the best in typography, the Communication Arts Typography Annual is judged by three typography experts: Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich, Sibylle Hagmann and Erik Marinovich.
Originally drawn as a graduation project, FF Dora was designed by editorial and book designer Slávka Pauliková. It is a strong-willed type family consisting of five styles: Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic and Display. Based on a detailed study of today's handwriting styles it focuses on transforming handwritten shapes into a serif text typeface.
As a major competition with around 1800 entrants, inclusion is one of the most-coveted awards in the typographic industry. Receiving recognition for one of our fonts in the 2014 Annual is a great way to start the year!
Previous FontFont winners of the Communication Arts Typographic Annual include:
- Felix Braden's dynamic and lively FF Scuba

You no longer have to book a flight to New York to get your hit of American fashion.
J Crew, the latest US-based brand to head to Britain, will open a store on London's Regent Street later this year. It joins a swathe of American fashion retailers making the UK their home – Banana Republic, Anthropologie, Abercrombie and Fitch and Forever21 have all also held their debuts in the UK in the last few years.
But unlike fashion, American homeware and product design remains a rarity on this side of the Atlantic, a gap in the market that Fate London, a boutique website that launched this month, is hoping to fill.
The site, fatelondon.com, sells a selection of interiors products with a particular focus on US designers.
"In Europe and the UK, products tend to have clean lines and an architectural feel. We like the raw, natural quality of American design," the Fate London founder Louise Bliss says.
"Designers there tend to focus on mastering traditional craft. It's about creating investment pieces rather than seasonal updates. The products have weight and texture; when you hold them you know you'll keep them for a lifetime." Some of the best products on the site include the raw brass bottle opener by Brooklyn-based Fort Standard, Pendleton's woollen blankets inspired by Native American geometrics and Anna Design's striped candles.
Other American designers to look out for in the UK include Bec Brittain, whose geometric lighting is available at SCP (scp.co.uk); Stephanie Housley's Coral and Tusk textiles (try couvertureandthegarbstore.com) and Araya Jensen's wooden Wind & Willow Home collection (also at couvertureandthegarbstore.com).
And if that has whet your tastebuds for more, some US-based designers don't have British stockists but do sell direct online and ship to the UK. Iacoli & McAllister (iacolimcallister.com) creates beautiful furniture and lighting using marble, brass and wood and Workstead (workstead.com) designs striking industrial lighting. For smaller pieces try Mociun (store.mociun.com) and Love Adorned (loveadorned.com).

Munitions found in Alamogordo storage unit
ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP) — Alamogordo police and Air Force investigators are inventorying weapons, mil[auth] itary ammunition and other items found in a storage locker to find out whether it includes government property.
The Alamogordo Daily News (http://bit.ly/10TYlO ) reports that police and Air Force Office of Special Investigations agents seized the unit Tuesday.
Police Detective Sgt. Roger Schoolcraft says the items seized included armor-piercing ammunition, military signs and a spotting scope as well as weapons.
Schoolcraft says investigators are trying to determine whether items found in the unit were taken from military installations.
Alamogordo is the location of Holloman Air Force Base.

Australia's Catholic church acknowledges "shame" of child abuse
By James Grubel
CANBERRA (Reuters) - The head of Australia's powerful Catholic Church acknowledged the "shame" of child sex abuse among the clergy and welcomed a sweeping inquiry on Tuesday, but also warned that the extent of the problem within his church had been exaggerated.
On Monday, Prime Minister Julia Gillard ordered a rare Royal Commission, the highest form of investigation in Australia, into how churches, government bodies and other organizations have dealt with possibly thousands of child sex abuse claims.
George Pell, Australia's only cardinal, said the Church would cooperate fully with the new inquiry, which can compel witnesses to give evidence and produce documents, and that he did not believe the Catholic church was the main perpetrator.
"We are not interested in denying the extent of misdoing in the Catholic church. We object to it being exaggerated, we object to it being described as 'the only cab on the rank'," said Pell, who is also Archbishop of Sydney.
"We acknowledge, with shame, the extent of the problem and I want to assure you that we have been serious in attempting to eradicate it and deal with it," he told reporters in Sydney.
Gillard called the inquiry in the face of mounting political pressure after explosive reports that orders within the Catholic Church had covered up abuse claims and hindered police inquires over several decades in New South Wales and Victoria, Australia's two most populous states.
Pell denied the Catholic Church actively covered up any child abuse and said comprehensive procedures introduced in 1992 ensured full cooperation with police and swift action against alleged abusers.
"We will cooperate fully. We have nothing we want to hide," Pell said. Continued...

I was out with the kids… and I saw someone smile at me from across the way. I smiled back because I didn't want to be rude. A few minutes later, he comes walking over to me, says my name and how happy he is to see Jordan.
I feel so bad. I couldn't remember his name. Terrible.
That's the challenge of being a mom of a child who is physically different. People remember you. You may have met once, but they remember you. Being the parent of a limb different child means you're in the public eye. I work in a television newsroom where my anchors (who are my friends) are even more a part of the public eye… But I'm in the public eye as a mom. So that means I can't mess up. Inappropriate parenting in public with be remembered. Anonymous life does not exist if I'm hanging out with my kids. That's just the way of life… And it makes me feel SO bad when my memory fails me and I can't connect a name to a face. I feel doubly bad when I can't connect the name to the face AND they remember everything about me and my kids.
Every interaction is a potential long-term relationship because I'm in the public eye.
That's an exhausting thought… But as I've said to Cameron before. He and I are fortunate to be in the public eye thanks to Jordan. But when she grows up and isn't with us all the time, we fall out of the public eye. Jordan will never avoid it. There are pros and cons to this… and I hope she's able to remain positive as often as possible.

Jackie Mason: interview
Legendary American stand-up Jackie Mason is preparing for his final UK shows. Ben Williams talks to the 'Ultimate Jew' ahead of his swansong
'He'll eat you alive!' pretty much sums up the response I receive from my colleagues here at Time Out when I tell them I'm interviewing Jackie Mason. They've got a point. I'm 23 years old. Mason is 75. The self-styled 'Ultimate Jew' has been in the comedy business for twice my lifetime: what could I possibly ask him?
In his half-century as a stand-up Mason has achieved more in the UK than many of our most beloved British comics. He's notched up a total of eight Royal Command Performances (more than any other American entertainer), has performed at London's most iconic venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Palladium and Wembley Arena, and in 2003 he became the only comedian to have played the Royal Opera House.
I expect him to shoot down any question I put to him with a sardonic remark, yet I find he's surprisingly warm. He tells me he should never be taken seriously, but where the onstage persona stops and the real Jackie Mason starts is difficult to tell. Perhaps that's the sign of a true comedian; they only have one agenda: to make an audience laugh, no matter what. It's certainly what this septuagenarian stand-up is aiming for as he prepares to bid Britain farewell with his final UK shows.
You've spent a lot of time in Britain over the years. Did you ever expect to be so popular in the UK?
'Everybody I met in America – every agent, every manager; everybody – predicted that I would stink in England. They wouldn't understand me, they wouldn't know what I was talking about, they wouldn't be able to relate to this kind of a personality, because they never heard anybody talk like this or come from a background like this. And I was very, very grateful and thrilled that as soon as I came on the stage, exactly the opposite happened. Because I was so different they got a kick out of it, they found it such a novelty that they started laughing right away and I said to myself, "Thank God!" '
What are your favourite memories of performing in London?
'The Royal Opera House was a phenomenal thrill for me. I knew that they very rarely have a comedian there, that it's a place that has the status symbol of a cultural icon of the country. When a person wants to feel cultured where does he go? A ballet or an opera. And all of a sudden here it is: a Jewish comedian! To me, that was a status symbol of achievement. That, and the Royal Command performances. These are things that became, to me, the symbol of success in England and a symbol of success all over the world.'
Your persona on stage is very high status: you're the most intelligent person in the room. How did that style come about?
'I honestly have never had a design for it, I just felt it instinctively. My comedy doesn't come from any calculations and studies. I can't pretend that I'm a great student of the art of comedy because anybody that becomes philosophical about humour doesn't know what he's talking about. I don't believe that anybody has come to a conclusion on why something is funny. It's funny because it's ridiculous and it's ridiculous for different reasons at different times.'
Over the years you've been criticised for statements you've made, both on and off stage. Have you ever apologised for anything you've said?
'I was never apologetic for a second because I think anybody who attacked me for anything I said is either a liar, a fake, a fraud or an opportunist. Because there never was for one second in my heart any intention of insulting or abusing anybody. There's no prejudice or hate or hostility of any kind in my heart. I have nothing but love in my heart and everything I say is just an instrument for laughs. Anybody [who] could see anything wrong or diabolical or venomous or hateful about it is a sick human being looking for attention themselves. The only thing I hate is prejudice and hate. And the only thing I hate more than that is a person who could invent hate in a wonderful person like me. A person like that, if there was any decency in this country, would be shot. People should be shot immediately in the street if they say Jackie Mason is a bad human being. Because nobody can find any time, any place in my life that I hurt anybody in order to better myself and advance my career or feel any kind of animosity towards any human being on this earth who didn't deserve it. If you punch me in the mouth I hate you. But if you don't, if you leave me alone, all I have for you is jokes.'
Yet you seem very opinionated about everything from religion to everyday grumbles. How seriously should people take what you say on stage?
'I don't think anybody should take anything I say seriously, that's why I'm a comedian. If I say a word or a line or even a sentence that doesn't get a laugh then I throw it out because it's not important to me to deliver a message. I think any entertainer who's trying to deliver messages should go into a different business. People don't want to hear your messages or your opinions, they want to get a laugh. So what right do I have to impose it on them? You have no right to sell them something that they didn't come there to buy. If I came to buy a cookie, don't give me a watermelon.'
You're outspoken about your Republican views on your YouTube vlog – your motto is 'If it's in the news, it's in the show.'
'The truth of the matter is I'm not really a determined kind of a Republican. I happen to be talking more about Republicans than Democrats because it gets me more laughs. But I don't really particularly crusade for one side or the other. I think it's not my place to promote any agenda. I think you'll find the jokes I tell about Barack Obama make people think that I'm against him: I'm not against him or for him, I just like to find all the comedy I can find about him.'
The comedy scene – and entertainment in general – has changed a great deal in the time you've been performing. What are your opinions of today's comedy crop?
'I can't believe in the generality that young comedians are no good. Everybody has a nostalgic yearning for the past and the longer he lives the more he tells you how much everything was great many years ago. Everybody tells you as they get old that a baseball player 50 years ago was a hundred times better, the first batter was better; the teacher was better, the guy who fixes the toilet was better; everything was better 30, 40 years ago. They're driving in a new car that has ten times the comfort of a car that existed 40 years ago but they convince themselves that a car 40 years ago was ten times better. They go for a walk and even the way of walking was somehow better. It's nonsense to say things were better years ago, because years ago it stunk: there was nothing going on, that was the problem.'
You say that after 50 years in stand-up you still enjoy being on stage. Why have you decided to retire from performing in Britain?
'I decided to retire from doing complete weeks of shows and any sort of performance on a daily basis. To me, every show is the most important show, and to give everything requires very hard work, intense concentration and effort and time. It has to be new material and it always has to be fresh. It's too draining to do that on a daily basis. I'll still perform [in the States], but it'll be hard to find me because I'll be performing every once in a while, here and there. I still love it. Let's be honest about it, every performer loves it. They like to convince themselves they love it because they like to bring happiness to people. That's the biggest fraud in the world. I'm not that stupid or phoney or crooked that I'm going to pretend I'm doing this just to help people. I'm doing this because I love the idea of being the belle of the ball. I've found a way to enjoy my own ego trip while at the same time I'm giving everybody pleasure. What could be a better combination than that? I can't deny that basically it's a selfish profession. Why do you think performers never retire? Because in their dying days they want to be on stage because they need the attention. How come a plumber retires? Because hanging around in a toilet is no ego trip. You don't get any satisfaction or applause in the toilet.'

Echo Automotive says production won't begin until the first quarter of 2015, since things are still in the development stage and the company is awaiting a patent on its EchoDrive technology. The company calls it, "a revolutionary patent-pending cost-reduction solution for converting fleet vehicles into highly fuel-efficient hybrids and plug-in hybrids." The GM vans will follow the company's conversion of EchoDrive units onto Ford E-Series van platforms. The E-Series conversions are scheduled to begin later this year (orders currently being accepted).
Echo Automotive thinks adding the Chevrolet Express to its lineup will make for a smart investment, given that it's second only to the Ford E-Series vans for commercial fleet registrations in North America. It also follows right behind the E-Series and Dodge Caravan in government fleet registrations.
It's a three-pronged victory for fleets using the EchoDrive technology, according to the company's chief executive. "We look forward to demonstrating the impact EchoDrive delivers to fleet managers in reducing operating costs, delivering greater fuel efficiency and promoting sustainability across both the Ford and GM platforms," said Dan Kennedy, CEO of Echo Automotive, in the press release, which you can read below.

Company Broadens Market Footprint and Opens Plug-In Hybrid Option for More Fleets
Scottsdale, AZ--(MARKETWIRE-February 18, 2014) – Echo Automotive, Inc. (OTCQB: ECAU) ("Echo Automotive", "Echo" or the "Company") a developer of technologies enabling the cost-effective aftermarket addition of fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid capability to new or existing vehicles, today announced plans to extend its industry award-winning EchoDrive plug-in hybrid system to GM 2500 and 3500 vans, including the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana, model years 2010-2014. Production is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2015.
The Chevrolet Express is second only to Ford E-Series vans in North American commercial fleet registrations, and trails only the E-Series and Dodge Caravan in government fleet registrations, according to the most recent statistics published by Business Fleet. EchoDrive currently is available for Ford E-Series vans.
"The addition of support for the Chevrolet Express platform is a natural expansion for EchoDrive from both a technical and a market perspective, and one that allows more fleets to benefit more fully from our EchoDrive plug-in hybrid system," said Dan Kennedy, CEO of Echo Automotive. "We look forward to demonstrating the impact EchoDrive delivers to fleet managers in reducing operating costs, delivering greater fuel efficiency and promoting sustainability across both the Ford and GM platforms."
EchoDrive delivers a non-invasive plug-in hybrid solution for new or existing vehicles without high infrastructure costs. It offers fleet managers a low-cost point of entry to high fuel efficiency as well as a long product lifespan and financing options that make shorter return-on-investment possible. A nationwide network of industry-leading install and service providers supports the EchoDrive system. Orders are currently being accepted and production of EchoDrive units for the E-Series platform is scheduled to begin later this year. Production for the GM series is expected in early 2015.

Were I at home I would now be putting out the chairs for church in the sports hall where our church community meets. Last night I was at the South Pole - one of the pubs in Anascaul, so called in memory of Tom Crane, a local boy who went to Antartica with Shackleton and Scott. That's quite a story; maybe I will write a diary entry reflecting on how a lad from a tiny Kerry village ended up with the public school types who got into polar exploration.
But today I am reflecting on the conviviality experienced last night in the pub. I remember reading a book by a guy called Ivan Illich called 'tools for convivality' when I was a student. I can't remember anything of what it was about, but the word conviviality has stuck with me. And Saturday night here in the South Pole is surely an example of conviviality.
The place fills up as the evening goes on; a mix of locals and visitors; of native Irish and foreigners; of folk down for the weekend from Dublin, or for the start of the summer holiday, and those of us from further afield. There are old and young. All talking ten to the dozen. There's a duo in the next room - a guitarist and accordionist - playing a mix of trad and modern music, a bit of a sing-a-long is underway. It is a good place to be, a convivial place.
I wonder if church should not be more like a good pub on an Saturday evening? Or is this a daft idea? How much of the craic could be recreated without alcohol? And how inclusive in reality is the cross section of the community gathered in the pub?
No, it won't do. We can't recreate the buzz of a good pub in church. But we should be creating a distinctive buzz, that generates the same sense of cwell being that was there in the South Pole last night; some of the components are the same. There should be good conversation and laughter. There should be music and singing. There should be a diverse group of people.
But we are there to give worth to the Other, the Source, the Way. It should be His joy that infuses our meeting together. We are meeting with Him. We shouldn't need spirits or ale to lift us, for our meeting should be saturated (or is that sozzled?) with the Spirit.
And we are to weep with those who weep as well as celebrate with those who are celebrating. The downside of pubs is that they are places to drown one's sorrows, and drowning never did anyone any good. Church must be a place where we not only share our burdens, but bear each other's burdens. So its not always going to be easy going.
So maybe true community goes deeper, further than simple conviviality. And church should be a profound expression of community.

The UMP Open-Wheel Modifieds had Double Points and $1500 on the line and they made it interesting. From the start it was an uphill battle for Buzzie Reutimann and the 00 group as the right rear went down and Paul Sizemore chose the lesser of 2 evils and destroyed the right side of his car as he hit the rear of Buzzie's 00. Both continued for a few laps or more. Steve Whitener pulled off from 3rd at this point and left a hole for 5th to take a shot at the lead. The restart resulted in Dave Barber spinning down the enbankment, Devin Dixon breaking the right front suspension, and Larry Mott spinning. After a lap was scored Kent Corbin spun and Sizemore, Reutimann, Michael Flick, and Rich Maguire all made evasive action and missed the OK car. Meanwhile Robert Dixon was charging from 27th position. Jeff Mathews brought the 33 out, but ran the entire race 1 lap down. Lap 2 saw Jamie Carter and Larry Mott ending Carter's night on the frontstretch after contact. The restart gave Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. the lead from Rich Pratt and he started to pull away until the lap 8 caution came out after Larry Mott blew a left rear tire and knocked Pratt into the wall. No hard feelings between the drivers as they mutually agreed on what caused contact and Pratt retook 3rd. On the restart Maguire spun and tried to reverse the flow of traffic, but brought out the yellow instead. Laps 15-17 were unkind to Hammond Motorsports as Bronson hit the wall on 15 then after the restart Wayne Hammond got loose and the 40H went into the wall, bounced and hit the top of the fence. Hammond didn't roll the car and was okay after the accident, as was innocent bystander Brian Morgan who was having an incredible run in the top 5. The stands were evacuated and racing got under way soon after. The race was cut by 5 as the timer ran out on lap 17, but it was too late for Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. as he pulled off as the field took the 2 to go sign. Started pole, clobbered the wall, and took home the trophy it was Rich Pratt in Victory Lane for his first dirt Modified win. Garret Stewart again smelled victory, but waits for the taste. Jim Passino and Dale Murray were 3rd and 4th, respectively, as they kept their noses clean all night. Reutimann drove back to 5th as Ronnice Chance took 6th, Scott Mooers was 7th in his first season in a Modified, Robert Dixon gained 19 spots for 8th, Michael Flick was 9th, and Donnie "Henry" Hall rounded out the top 10.
The first 2 attempts at a start saw Brian Penrose and Allen Craig flip their Florida Mini Sprints, but 3rd time was the charm and they went 2 lap before the 30 of John Crowder stopped for the night. On lap 6 Justin Kolves took the lead from Luke Fidler and began to pull away, but points leader and winner of the FMSA's last event, Chris Pacetti, was driving through the field. Luke Fidler lost the right rear and brought the yellow out for a 1 lap dash with team-mates Kolves and Pacetti 1-2. They almost didn't get the 1-2, but Kolves held it on all 4 and Pacetti drove on top of Kolves front end and won by a wheel and some sheet metal. One team-mate was happy and the other was wondering what he has to do to win again. David Pleaugh was 3rd, Steve Crabtree 4th, Dirk Miller 5th, Pete Smith 6th, Eddie Moss, Jr. in 7th, David Hall was 8th, Dylan Colding, the young driver of the 23D was 9th, and Luke Fidler was able to take home points for 10th.
Gladiators battled and it was a big stage out on the clay. Brandon Haseleu, 3rd in points lost his IronMan streak as the car wouldn't fire as a system in the engine thought Haseleu was trying to steal the car. Frank Pelusio, Stephen Frankland, Robert Graham, Reid Christensen, and JT Holly were involved in the lap 1 turn 1 incident, but only Holly and Graham were done for the night. Matt Kramer and Wade Lear also pulled off at this point. On the restart, "British Bulldog" found himself facing the wrong way, but rejoined the field after he fired it up and the yellow came out. The final 14 were green, and with 11 to go "The Dominator" Steve Cox took the lead, but didn't pull away as usual. The yellow flags didn't fly and the S&S Boys, Steve Cox, the Biggest Mover, and Steve Johnson, took the 1-2 as Frank Pelusio was 3rd. Tommy Ausburn, Jr. avoided the wrecks and took a well deserved 4th as "British Bulldog" came back for 5th. Reid Christensen and Ken McCloud were laps down, but still finished 6th and 7th, respectively. Art Souther was 8th, Robert Graham in 9th, and JT Holly in 10th.
RaceCar Engineering Late Models return, as do the Amsoil V-8 Thunderstocks. Also, the Hobby Stocks, Mini Stocks for Double Points and a $1500 payday, and the Gladiators race. For more information you can check out www.bubbaracewaypark.com or call the Speedway hotline.

Safeway targets 'profitable' shoppers
Safeway, the UK's fourth largest supermarket chain, has said it is to concentrate on attracting high-spending customers to maintain its growth.
Safeway's finance director, Simon Laffin, said the chain would ignore "cherry pickers" who concentrate on cheap items in promotions, and instead stock products that "profitable" shoppers wanted.
His comments came as Safeway reported sales growth figures which lagged behind two of its main rivals.
Underlying sales for the first half of the financial year grew by 1.9%, compared with 3.9% growth achieved by Tesco.
During the 16 weeks to 12 October, underlying sales grew 1.1% at Safeway, compared with 2.4% growth over the same period at Sainsbury.
But Safeway said it would report "solid" first-half profits, helped by good margin and cost management.
Playing its own game
"Safeway is a business in transition," said Mr Laffin.
"What we delivered (in the second quarter and the first half) were according to plan."
Safeway is currently rolling out new store formats and has introduced 900 new products this year in a drive to increase the average amount spent by each shopper.
"The sector is very competitive, with everyone playing the 'promotional game'," Mr Laffin said.
"We tend not to play other people's game. We will continue to play on our current strategy."
Bid speculation
Recent reports have suggested that rivals are preparing a takeover bid for Safeway, with Asda, owned by Wal-Mart, seen as the favourite.
But Safeway said it planned to stay independent.
"We've said three to four weeks ago that we didn't receive any approaches and we have nothing to add to that," said Mr Laffin.
"We will continue to build on a strong, independent Safeway and that's what we're currently focused on."
In the City, Safeway shares closed 0.5p lower at 214p.

Tocabe liquor license hearing today
Tocabe: An American Indian Eatery has been open less than two weeks, but the sleek restaurant at 5356 East 44th Avenue has already gained a loyal following with its native American twist on fast-casual food.
And that following could grow -- fast-- if the liquor-license hearing scheduled for 9 a.m. today at the Wellington E. Webb building goes well. Tocabe is across the street from Billy's Inn, the very updated roadhouse that reopened earlier this year, but the competition shouldn't be a problem, since one of Billy's Inn's owners, Joe Vostrejs, is also listed on the liquor-license application as an owner of Tocabe, along with members of the Jacobs family -- including Tom Jacobs, who had the Grayhorse, a food-court spot on the 16th Street Mall with a native American focus, more than two decades ago.
Now his son, Ben Jacobs, is bringing native American food to a new generation. He's in charge of day-to-day operations at Tocabe, and opening without a liquor license was no problem, he says, since "the focus here is the food."
But a beer never hurts -- and it certainly helped in the case of Chipotle, another homegrown fast-casual concept that really took off here.

Foreign Languages
History of Spain
This website gives a very detailed description of the history of Spain, from the first human settlements of the country to the modern day parliamentary monarchy. It is in an easy to read format and highlights all of the major Spanish historical accomplishments.
Latin - Latin texts online
The Latin Library includes html copies for almost every major Latin work and author in Classical antiquity. There is also a substantial number of Latin works from the medieval period. Since the html can easily be cut and paste into a Word document or saved as a .pdf, this site is very useful for Latin teachers who want to incorporate digital copies of the texts that they are reading into handouts and presentations.
Latin - Mythology
Greek Mythology Link
This site is an excellent source for background information, images, and maps on various individuals and events in Greek and Roman mythology. The heading "Achilles," for example, includes the background of Achilles (with citations for primary sources), links to all mythological figures connected to Achilles, a genealogical chart of the hero, and images from antiquity to the present which depict Achilles. This site is an excellent resource for students and teachers alike.
Latin - Professional Organization
ACL - American Classical League
ACL is the most popular professional organization for Latin teachers in the United States. For NEW TEACHERS, this site is important because it provides the most updated and comprehensive list of OPEN TEACHING POSITIONS across the country. In order for Latin students to join JCL (Junior Classical League) or participate in the state JCL convention, their Latin teacher must be a member of ACL. In addition to membership information and listings of teaching positions, the ACL site has links to teaching resources, related professional organizations, and various national student exams (Latin, Greek, mythology). This site is essential for teachers who wish to participate in classical organizations outside of the classroom.
Latin - Rhetorical Devices
This well-organized site offers an excellent overview of ancient rhetoric and various rhetorical devices. Under the heading "hendiadys" for example, the website defines the Greek term, gives a clear definition of the device, offers several examples in English, and finally suggests links to related rhetorical figures on the same website. This site is useful for Latin teachers who plan to teach rhetorical figures in Latin III and AP Latin.
Spain Recipes
Here is a site that has various recipes from Spain in both Spanish and English. This is a great way to get students involved in the cuisine of the culture they are studying. Some of the recipes include gazpacho, paella, and horchata de almendra.
Spanish - EspanOle
This website was created by a former teacher in Florida and contains links to many different resources for Spanish students. The page called "La lengua española" gives a link to many activities for Spanish students including historical information, games, and flash cards. The best part of this site, in my opinion is the ease of navigation. It is uncluttered. This makes it very easy to find exactly what you are looking to find. The links on this website lead to reputable, fun sites for learning Spanish.
Spanish - Interactive Games
Apples 4 the Teacher holds many different interactive games for learners of all content areas. The Spanish games, however, are excellent. Many of the games read aloud to the student as they play. The games load easily and do not need special software downloads in order to work. There are four games for Spanish learners. The games are called Spanish Alphabet, Spanish Counting Game, Spanish parts of the face game, and Counting backwards in Spanish. These games are fun, interactive, and appealing to students.
Spanish - Online Games and Reference Books
Education World offers many resources to foreign language learners. This website not only offers many fun and educational activities devoted to Spanish, but also offers an online Spanish/English dictionary and a search bar that searches educational websites only for links to information about the culture and language. There is also a media and entertainment link that offers videos and music clips of Spanish speakers and Spanish music. This is a fantastic website that can assist in learning the Spanish language, pronunciation, and culture.
Spanish - Pen Pals
Epals is an interactive website that safely connects students around the world. Through the Epals website, students could interact with native Spanish speakers. This could be very beneficial to Spanish students. By interacting with native speakers, they could ask questions about the culture and traditions of Spanish-speaking countries and practice using their vocabulary and grammar skills as they compose letters to their pals. This website is easy to use and very safe. Classrooms around the world participate and it would be easy to facilitate these interactions.
Spanish - World News
BBC news has a service that will be fun and interesting for foreign language learners. The website offers all news stories translated in to different languages. The URL listed here is the BBC news in Spanish. This could help my students learn the target language by offering the stories in both English and Spanish. The website also reads the news stories aloud in many languages.
Spanish history
This website gives a brief outline of all of the eras in Spanish history. It is in English, and can be a useful guide for both teachers and students to refresh their knowledge on the History of Spain.
Spanish jokes
This site gives a Spanish joke of the day. The jokes are free from obscene words, and do not make any racial or political jabs. This page is a great tool for students who are trying to find humor in another language and learn about the culture at the same time.
Spanish Music Lyrics
This website is a great source for teachers because it allows them to incorporate music into the classroom. This can be used for a warm-up activity where students can fill in the blanks in the lyrics as they listen to the songs.
Spanish tongue twisters
This is a website that contains a lot of popular Spanish tongue twisters. This can be a fun way for students to practice their pronunciation of Spanish sounds while possibly learning some new words as well.
Spanish Verb Conjugator
This is a helpful website for students who are trying to learn their verb conjugations in Spanish. It has a box where the student can type in the infinitive form of the verb and it conjugates it in all of the persons of all the tenses. This is also something that teachers need to keep in mind that students easily can access, and make sure that they are not simply conjugating all of their verbs online.
Useful Spanish Links
This page is a good resource for Spanish teachers. It includes a wide variety of links to different sites that can be useful in the classroom at a variety of levels, in areas such as grammar, vocabulary, and culture.
French Language Resources
About.com: French Language
This is a website covering French grammar in the beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. This site includes grammar tips, lessons, and quizzes to test what you have learned.

Youth Club Please read Jamie
Hi, me and a friend are in the process of setting up a Youth Club at Portchester Community Centre in hampshire. The main aim will be to take the youth of today off the streets and give them somewhere to go on a Friday night and day trips on a Sunday. Although we are subsidised by Fareham Borough Council we are a charity. Although nothing top do with cooking I was impressed with the way Jamie influenced the kids to eat properly and ensure that school dinners were improved. The reason for liking the way you did it was that the he got on there level. If Jamie can improve school dinners, why cant we improve where they go of an evening or of a weekend. We have been very lucky for getting alot of support from Hampshire Police for the set up. The Youth Club starts April 2007 and we want it hopefully to be a start of rebuilding youth groups with communities. The kids will enjoy themselves, be given the opportunity to develop there skills learning by enjoying. Some of the work will include learning how create a CV on computer. We want the kids to come along and not treat it like school but have fun. I myself had a Youth Club when I was Younger and Im sure Jamie did as well. Most of the kids will be aged 12-16 yrs old and we hope they gain something out of it. I myself will be later on teaching the kids basic cooking skills and other life skills will be taught by the other Volunteers. I am also the resident DJ and will be DJing for the first time in front of strangers in April. !!!Getting rather nervous!!!!
In June we will be having a community fun day to open up the centre to all the kids and there families to come in and hopefully some of the parents may join some of the activities within the centre. Jamies I have a question. How did you convince Mr. Blair to improve school dinners in every school? The reason I ask is that I was thinking of starting a campaine called "Clear the streets", this is to try and convince the government to improve more communities by opening more youth groups with dedicated volunteers. This would give the kids a place to go of an evening and learn something they wouldnt in School and would also make the streets safer at night. Jamie you are my idle and what you did with school dinners was amazing well done. Oh and Jamie anytime you feel the urge to pop into the centre let us know. Dont worry there will be No press or stupid TV interviews just a bunch of volunteers and kids. Also dont forget we are a charity so if any of your agents want us to pay well we cant.

We knew it:
"According to a recent study by Packaged Facts, U.S. supermarket sales of environmentally sustainable or "ethical" products will rise about 8.7 percent in 2009 to nearly $38 billion, proving that despite the recession, holiday shoppers will still favor eco-friendly goods", Amanda Wills from Earth911.com writes in an article published today. Organic food is more popular than ever. And there's a reason for that or as Wills puts it: "Your favorite fruits and vegetables taste great in organic form" – exactly
That's why we want our muesli to be all organic: it just tastes better, seriously! So if you don't want to order muesli from us (but may I ask: why wouldn't you?) … that's fine. But at least get an organic one when shopping for groceries next time.

It may not have the most features or best image quality, but the new Fujifilm JZ500 is still a compelling travel-zoom camera, particularly for point-and-shoot beginners.
Image quality isn't the JZ500's strongest suit, with visible noise at ISO 400 which becomes progressively worse at the faster settings, a little too much unwanted purple-fringing in high-contrast situations, rather obvious barrel distortion and visible softness towards the edges at wide-angle settings, and a restrictive maximum shutter speed of 4 seconds. Similarly the feature list isn't as long as most rivals - 720p movies bring the JZ500 up to speed for 2010, with the ability to use the 10x zoom lens during recording very welcome, but there are few other bells and whistles that make this camera really shine.
What the JZ500 does major in, though, are a beginner-friendly approach and that ever-crucial component, price. Fujifilm have included a veritable treasure trove of hand-holding technologies, from the SR Auto mode that picks the right scene mode for you, reliable Tracking Auto Focus which ensures that your subject will be sharp regardless of whether its moving or not, to the clever Face Recognition technology that places the emphasis firmly on your friends and family. And if your close ones are canine or feline in nature, then the JZ500 can prioritise the furry members of your family too.
Finally, as with most of Fujifilm's 2010 compact range, the JZ500 is certainly competitively priced - £179.99 / $249.95 full retail for a 14 megapixel camera with a 10x zoom is great value, even if you ignore the clever technologies inside. So if you don't mind the slightly no-frills approach and merely average image quality, the new Fujifilm JZ500 represents a cheap and very cheerful way into the point-and-shoot travel-zoom camera market.

Looks like the holiday deals are not over. This time, it is the Nikon D7000 that goes on sale, with more goodies from B&H to sweeten the deal. While I do not consider this as good of a deal as the Nikon D600, it is still a pretty good sale for those that do not want to part with their DX lenses and stick with the APS-C sensor. This sale is a good indication that the D7000 will be replaced pretty soon, probably in Q1 of 2013. If you would like to check out my thoughts on the D7000, see my Nikon D7000 review that I published a while ago.
So here are the details for the Nikon D7000 discount:
- Nikon D7000 SLR Digital Camera $1,196.95
- Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II Lens $846.95
- Nikon Normal AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D Lens $124.95
- Vello BG-N4 Battery Grip for Nikon D7000 $69.95
- Sandisk 16GB SDHC Extreme Class 10 $24.06
The price is discounted by $765.91, so you get the whole deal for a total price of $1,496.95
On top of that, B&H will overnight this camera to you, so that you get it before Christmas.

Not all books make good audiobooks. So how do publishers decide which ones to transform into audio versions?
Audiobooks are the fastest growing segment in publishing. It has grown into a billion dollar industry, with millions of people downloading them to their media players or purchasing them on CDs each day.
Audiobooks are a huge advantage to those with vision problems or dyslexia, and the average audiobook has enough content that the listener can get a week's worth of entertainment during their long daily commute to work.
For road warriors listening to radio stations play the same songs over and over can get on the nerves. An audiobook, however, provides an ongoing story to stay entertained between stops.
But what exactly is it that makes a book a good candidate for an audiobook?
We reached out to several publishers to get their take on the subject. Learn more in today's VOX Daily.
What makes an audiobook marketable?
If the audio version of a book is edited and narrated well, it has huge sales potential. In fact, audiobooks are usually sold at a higher price point due to the production involved, which can earn excellent secondary revenue for the author and publisher.
Eddie Jones, Acquisition Editor for the indie-publisher Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas, says, "At LPC, we focus on top-sellers first – those titles that demonstrate strong print and eBook sales on Amazon and have lots of 4-5 star reviews."
LPC has had great success with mysteries that have strong female protagonists and political suspense thrillers aimed at men. Fiction titles do well at LPC, but they've also found nonfiction to be a growing market.
Knowing what areas have strong demographics and what will be engaging to different markets is important. Business-minded listeners, for example, are more inclined to purchase an audiobook than a print book due to their work schedules and lifestyle behaviors. They usually tend toward non-fiction audiobooks related to business and marketing topics rather than fiction titles.
At TCK Publishing, founder Tom Corson-Knowles, says "Self help books and romance novels tend to sell very well, whereas children's books tend to sell very poorly."
Knowles suggests that the way the book is organized should be considered as well. "Books loaded with pictures and visual tutorials may not fit the audiobook format very well," he says. "If it's in a good market but the content doesn't work, we often either ask the author to rewrite some parts for audiobook or publish an abridged version."
TV Producer and media consultant Jacquie Jordan, founder and CEO of Jacquie Jordan Inc., told us they turn all of their non-fiction books into audiobooks.
On hiring narrators, she says, "Unlike other publishers, we prefer to have our audio books read by the actual author. [However] as a published author myself, when Audiobooks.com bought the rights to my book, "Get on TV," they hired a voice over actor to read my book.
As a publisher, our customers enjoy the experience of the voice of the author, especially since our books are expert driven."
Many expert driven books are written by authors who are professional public speakers and that experience lends itself well to narration in that genre. However, the narration can make or break an audiobook so it should be carefully considered. Hiring a professional narrator and voice actors to act out the characters will ensure the quality of the writing is not compromised and will enhance the listening experience for fans of the author.
Good editing is also a must. Pages and pages of descriptive text may work well and serve a purpose in the hard-copy but it doesn't lend itself well to audio versions of a novel.
Jones says, "Bottom line? The book needs to engage the reader [and] listener."
