Delhi-NCR 'lives, loves, dances' with Sunburn 2013
Sunburn 2013 brought to Noida eight international and local artistes including Dash Berlin and Nervo.
Noida: The much awaited Sunburn festival once again hit North India on Sunday. Overwhelming crowd turned up for the musical carnival at Galgotia University in Noida, dressed in their wacky self.
To witness and be a part of Asia's top festival, music lovers started thronging the venue from noon itself even as the music fest began at around 2 pm. Sunburn 2013 brought to Noida eight international and local artistes including Dash Berlin, Nervo, Porter Robinson, Anish Sood for an eight-hour long party from 2pm to 10pm.
Some disappointed faces wandered around the gates as the event began an hour late. But the gloominess soon disappeared when DJ Vipul rolled out his numbers at the Space Jungle stage and DJs NDS and Blue took control of the Space Station stage.
The entire arena was divided into two stages - Space Station and Space Jungle for electronica and trance lovers respectively. As the evening progressed, the beautiful varsity lawns began brimming with party enthusiasts and love for music enveloped the Sunburn grounds.
Some came dressed as pirates, others with colourful wigs and geeky glasses. While girls upped the hotness quotient, boys proved that there was no crowd as crazy as Delhi's.
The mood for the evening was set when Goa-based DJ Anish Sood took over the stage and virtually half of the crowd danced its way to Space Jungle where he rolled out his hit favourite 'Wanna be your only love'. Hands went up, heads started swinging and everyone got lost in 'trance' as the DJs lived up to everyone's expectation and played some crackling music.
"Sunburn, which began its journey six years ago in Goa has covered 65 Indian cities," said Shailendra Singh, Inceptor of the mega event. He credits his hard working team for Sunburn's success and popularity and says people who do not put their heart into their work get sacked! And for the youngsters, his only message is 'dream big'.
The authorities took security at the grounds seriously as police teams were deployed at various points and PCR vans were stationed at the gates. Flee markets, food joints, bar, Sunburn stores lined up at the venue but no major trouble was reported at the stalls despite all the rush.
Even as the pumping gigs of international producers Shogun, Rank1 and Porter Robinson kept the party on, everyone eagerly waited for Nervo twins from Australia and Dash Berlin, who were the final acts.
As darkness engulfed the sky, began the magic of flashy lights. Blue, yellow, green, red, pink, they had it all. A look from any corner of the grounds and you know what the party was heading to.
While the ticket-buyers danced away their evening at Noida, the event was also live streamed on YouTube for its followers to catch all the missing action.
With just a few more minutes to go for the last slot of artistes Nervo and Dash Berlin, a rather confused fan, Varun, came across, who said that he was disappointed with the line up as he wanted to hear both the producers play but could not as they were performing on different stages at the same time.
Shailendra Singh, inceptor of Sunburn, however reacted to this saying that he wanted to give the best of both the worlds - electronica and trance as the final gigs and hence the arrangement of artistes. The man behind one of the craziest festivals across the world added, "Delhi has surprised me, the crowd is super cool. It is very relaxing. I am very happy with the fact that 40 per cent of the attendants are women."
Sunburn magic reached its peak when Nervo and Dash Berlin appeared at the stage and the crowds welcomed them with hooting, bows and whistles. As the two acts got into their groove, everyone went ballistic dancing and singing to their tunes. People screamed their lungs out in the last two hours and many were seen swaying to the music with their friends sitting on their shoulders.
Fireworks lit up the evening sky and the gala ended with everyone bowing to the artistes for their love and passion for music and for an evening that would be etched in their memories for a lifetime.
Sunburn Noida will return and take the capital city by surprise all over again, assured Shailendra, leaving the message - Live, Love, Dance.

Former Ambassador Suspects Government Stoking Iraqi Civil War
Former British Ambassador Suspects Government Stoking Iraqi Civil War
Dire situation goes from bad to worse and provides only excuse for troops to stay
Steve Watson & Paul Watson / Infowars.net | October 18 2006
Former British Ambassador to the Central Asian Republic of Uzbekistan, Craig Murray, writes today that he suspects the ongoing sectarian violence in Iraq has been intentionally provoked and continued by US and UK special forces in occupation of the country.
Murray states:
"As the catastrophe in Iraq continues to unfold, an unresolved question remains on the role of Bush, Blair, and the US/UK military. To what extent were they passively incompetent in facilitating the decline into civil war, and to what extent were they actively pursuing policies that promoted that outcome?"
Murray suspects that as part of a "divide and conquer" strategy, the same strategy used by British forces in Iraq 85 years ago, Special forces are being used to intentionally foment civil war by training and equipping Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and Shiite militiamen, to target Sunni insurgents and their sympathizers.
The adoption of the 'Salvador Option' by the US in Iraq was reported and discussed from the beginning of 2005 onwards.
Newsweek reported that this Pentagon or CIA handled operation "would even extend across the border into Syria, according to military insiders familiar with the discussions... The current thinking is that while U.S. Special Forces would lead operations in, say, Syria, activities inside Iraq itself would be carried out by Iraqi paramilitaries."
"The evidence that the US directly contributed to the creation of the current civil war in Iraq by its own secretive security strategy is compelling." Murray continues.
He goes on to point out that US Congressman Denis Kucinich took up the issue in April of this year in a letter to Donald Rumsfeld requesting all records pertaining to the plan.
Kucinich weighed in on the matter, providing further evidence that the Salvador Option was being implemented, he wrote:
."About one year before the Newsweek report on the "Salvador Option," it was reported in the American Prospect magazine on January 1, 2004 that part of $3 billion of the $87 billion Emergency Supplemental Appropriations bill to fund operations in Iraq, signed into law on November 6, 2003, was designated for the creation of a paramilitary unit manned by militiamen associated with former Iraqi exile groups. According to the Prospect article, experts predicted that creation of this paramilitary unit would "lead to a wave of extrajudicial killings, not only of armed rebels but of nationalists, other opponents of the U.S. occupation and thousands of civilian Baathists."
John Pilger wrote further about the Salvador Option in the New Statesman earlier this year, shedding light on the origins of the plot:
"The real news, which is not reported in the CNN "mainstream", is that the Salvador Option has been invoked in Iraq. This is the campaign of terror by death squads armed and trained by the US, which attack Sunnis and Shias alike. The goal is the incitement of a real civil war and the break-up of Iraq, the original war aim of Bush's administration. The ministry of the interior in Baghdad, which is run by the CIA, directs the principal death squads. Their members are not exclusively Shia, as the myth goes. The most brutal are the Sunni-led Special Police Commandos, headed by former senior officers in Saddam's Ba'ath Party. This unit was formed and trained by CIA "counter-insurgency" experts, including veterans of the CIA's terror operations in central America in the 1980s, notably El Salvador. "
The confirmation that the Salvador Option had been invoked came quite publicly just over a year ago when British SAS were caught dressed in Arab garb and attempting to stage a terror attacks on Iraqi police. the soldiers were "rescued" by British troops using extreme force and a media blackout ensued.
In addition to the Salvador option, we have also exposed other US and Israeli policy documents stating that it would be beneficial to the overalk strategy to engender strife in the region.
In 1982, Oded Yinon, an official from the Israeli Foreign Affairs office, wrote: "To dissolve Iraq is even more important for us than dissolving Syria. In the short term, it's Iraqi power that constitutes the greatest threat to Israel. The Iran-Iraq war tore Iraq apart and provoked its downfall. All manner of inter-Arab conflict help us and accelerate our goal of breaking up Iraq into small, diverse pieces."
Ethnic cleansing, maimed children and thousands of dead American soldiers are a small price to pay because for the Globalists the end always justifies the means and untold bloodshed and misery and bloodshed won't stand in their way.
That agenda was again underscored recently when Daniel Pipes, a highly influential Straussian Neo-Con media darling, who told the New York Sun that a civil war would aid the US and Israel because it would entangle Iran and Syria and enable those countries to be picked off by the new world empire without the need to sell a direct invasion to the public.
Stephen Zunes, professor of Politics and chair of the Peace & Justice Studies Program at the University of San Francisco, recently wrote,
"Top analysts in the CIA and State Department, as well as large numbers of Middle East experts, warned that a U.S. invasion of Iraq could result in a violent ethnic and sectarian conflict. Even some of the war's intellectual architects acknowledged as much: In a 1997 paper, prior to becoming major figures in the Bush foreign policy team, David Wurmser, Richard Perle, and Douglas Feith predicted that a post-Saddam Iraq would likely be "ripped apart" by sectarianism and other cleavages but called on the United States to "expedite" such a collapse anyway."
"One of the long-standing goals of such neoconservative intellectuals has been to see the Middle East broken up into smaller ethnic or sectarian mini-states, which would include not only large stateless nationalities like the Kurds, but Maronite Christians, Druze, Arab Shi'ites, and others. Such a policy comes not out of respect for the right of self-determination indeed, the neocons have been steadfast opponents of the Palestinians' desire for statehood, even alongside a secure Israel but out of an imperial quest for divide-and-rule. The division of the Middle East has long been seen as a means of countering the threat of pan-Arab nationalism and, more recently, pan-Islamist movements."
The machinations of the Machiavellian's are unfolding according to plan. Let Iraq cascade into chaos and dilute the insurgency by manipulating it to become fractious and watch in-fighting ensue. Blame Iran and Syria for the anarchy (a sentiment echoed by Rice during the cartoon riots) and then move the troops in to decapitate two more rogue nations.
With the news today that nine American troops have been killed in bombings and combat, raising to 67 the number of U.S. troops killed in October, and public support for the war at an all time low, things are only getting worse.
A poll conducted for CNN over the weekend suggests support among Americans for the war in Iraq is dwindling to an all-time low. Just 34 percent of those polled say they support the war, while 64 percent say they oppose it.
Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also acknowledged over the weekend that the overall strategy in Iraq is under review. Gen. told CNN that military plans, including the linchpin of U.S. exit strategy -- reliance on Iraqi forces to take up the fight -- is being reviewed.
Furthermore, British General Richard Dannatt created a furor last week by saying that British troops should "get ourselves out sometime soon because our presence exacerbates the security problems."
A poll published Sunday said 74 percent of Britons agree with Dannatt's comments. He also won the support of several top newspapers and the British Army. Despite this overwhelming support, Dannatt was the subject of a vicious Whitehall whispering campaign as Labour ministers furious at his devastating outburst over Iraq called for him to be sacked.
A new study published by The Lancet also emerged in the past week, estimating that 655,000 Iraqis, the vast majority of them innocent civilians, have been killed as a result of the bombing and occupation of Iraq.
However, Bush would have the world believe that it is us, the war critics that are "Propagandizing," and "engaging In "Illogical Behavior". Likewise for the rest of his cronies who still go around telling everyone that being in Baghdad is like being in Manhattan.
The AP also reported this week that reconstruction funds are drying up, that is the funds that did not go missing or were just wasted away, and America's big builders are pulling out, leaving completed projects and unfulfilled plans in the hands of an Iraqi government unprepared to manage either.
The only excuse for not withdrawing troops with immediate effect is that the situation has become so bad that it is a catch 22 dilemma. This is hogwash. The real reason troops will stay in Iraq is nothing to do with protecting the Iraqi people or the "fledgling democracy", it is purely about geopolitical and strategic positioning. It's about an aggressive occupying force setting up base and being in position for it's next target.
The myth that the occupation is about liberating the Iraqi people is now a known lie. Iraq is now a total and complete military police state, where the "liberated" people enjoy virtually no fundamental human rights. This so called freedom under occupation makes Saddam Hussein look like Nelson Mandela in comparison.
The reasoning behind the war has changed half a dozen times. President Bush keeps revising his explanation for why the U.S. is in Iraq, moving from narrow military objectives at first to history-of-civilization stakes now.
In a remark he made last year about the constant attacks on US troops in Iraq, Bush said: "The insurgents are being defeated; that's why they're continuing to fight." This stunning Orwellian reversal of all logic epitomizes the worsening situation in Iraq. Measuring success in terms of how far you are from success. The Straussian ideology in full flow means that the Bush administration in it's own separate logical world actually does legitimately have a reason to remain in Iraq.
The reality is that The Neocon hordes need to stay in Iraq to order to see through their insane Imperialist project for a new American Century, and the only way they can now do this is by practicing violence in the name of fighting violence. We used to be told that terrorists kidnapped and killed people, I guess it becomes moral when the 'authorities' are behind it.

The Lenovo ThinkPad W540 mobile workstation provides users with a feature rich load out and offers great performance and value for the professional on the go.
We find ourselves on the go more often now and need a powerful mobile laptop/workstation out in the field. Several vendors provide these, and they each have their own following. Lenovo went to the drawing board and assembled a mobile workstation with components that complement each other well, and then Lenovo installed them in a case made of a carbon-fiber-plastic composite material that is strong, lightweight, and has an excellent feel to it.
Let's look at the specifications for the W540.
Basing the system on the 4th Gen Intel Core i7-4800MQ mobile processor with 4 cores/8 threads gives the W540 a powerful CPU that also uses low power. The NVIDIA Quadro K2100M with 2GB of RAM increases performance in demanding applications and workloads.
The NVIDIA Quadro K2100M uses NVIDIA Optimus Technology that will automatically switch to discrete graphics when needed, and that extends battery life without sacrificing high performance. The W540 uses a 256GB SSD, which gives it fast response, quick boot times, and low power use.
Lenovo offers two battery choices: a six-cell (5.2Ah) or a nine-cell (9.21Ah) battery. Our review unit came with the larger capacity nine-cell battery.
The display on our W540 is a 15.5-inch 3K IPS (2880x1620) (300 NITS) with an optional X-Rite Integrated Color Calibrator color sensor. The W540 also comes equipped with stereo speakers and Dolby Home Theater.
For extra security, the W540 has a fingerprint scanner and Intel vPro Technology. Intel vPro Technology makes managing the W540 in an enterprise type setting more convenient. You have the ability to manage, protect, repair, or locate deployed laptops from anywhere in the world.

Dale Arnold, Chris Price, Matt Chatham and Kevin Faulk are live at Toby Keith's at Gillette and they review the big Pats win vs. the Bills last week and talk about what they saw from the running game, the defense, and Gronk.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Welcome to Toby -- I love this bar in relic Gillette Stadium patriot place here in Foxborough where this afternoon at 425. The New England Patriots kick it off against the Denver Broncos except everybody on the planet knows. He really has nothing to do with either of those two teams it is Tom Brady against Peyton Manning that's that's with. Apt to happen when these two teams like this is unchartered territory rights. And it belts on paper as many years I've been involved with -- which -- all the has always been Sunday morning nine. And this year we sort of move things around the first ball wouldn't be here. Which is really guys and second of all when the patriots got a whole world -- game and it's -- well this year. Well this thing to want to 4 PM at. In effect become your pre game shall we hope that if you like join us talk about the game whole bunch of Europe parking lot those of you wants the -- on one like. Some of what we're here recently -- as a whole -- oral forests and we're broadcasting live here my name's Dale Arnold Chris writes from W we got that comes along side. Former patriots running back Kevin ball is it left into the it was announced it here it. Former patriots linebacker Matt -- that the right into the table and you do the same thing plateau are here right over here. And now fellas get to see you -- secretary back in and I -- -- back and good to be back with the out of it I love covering games on the road but the -- time. When you do with the show you feel disconnected the guys that -- you back if you talk football. That coupled lose your. I'm very curious if you guys opinions when we look back at last Sunday's win in buffalo. 5220 with final score many people including me -- no way am raising my hand here sick you know. And if the defensive effort on the part of the patriots in the 28 point in the quality -- Then I went back and look at look at afterwards. Given the Patriots defense is much credit as they answer as I look back -- they were better than I thought they were despite what the cleanup efforts my Alley. I'm so that you read. I'm so glad because I want to say that that we would have. You know you can't then it was an idiot I -- the -- -- the -- -- -- -- and we've given them. It's like we always heard the that we -- go through two weeks before. 32 degrees and of course the game that that happens and as a team you expect you're good to users -- in he'll be loud scene in saying quote. But that's it could have whenever we got to Terry who was in office and we need to you know with the points in eighty formal affair Saturday and without these things. Back on the field right after being on the field consecutively. Now Ryan Fitzpatrick. What's great a couple of passes were really wounded duck -- passes but the defense also. Took the ball away and did it on a consistent basis throughout the game I didn't put enough importing. Big difference in the -- three takeaways giveaways all there generally accorded the same way and I think when you. You know you you come up and feel -- and literally watching guys flying just don't know ball movement ground. That's right that's not a give away. Tipped passes those takeaways knocked it way up. It -- but the point is -- missed few but it really aggressive and they're going to keep the ball off his opponent and in the other thing that I would save your right what this defense is just. What's her moxie -- whatever -- you wanna give it there was really critical point afterward would have gone one way down we once. Come back -- what the what the great stop obviously it would stop before halftime but they also came back into office the office to stop on the opening drive of the game. So although the second half to right. That was really to me and we -- look back in the season and you know critically we broke one of three teams that really who have been sort of the field to -- -- kind of thing that could've gone either way it. And the way that because -- route from that point on no more of them really bad. But we play that would be through the cornerstone -- the that you would speak to the badly with the big miss. Which is eighty yard Jones thing right of the publicity without through bad angle -- -- -- That really colors statistical performance as much as anything but I think just the risk that they showed in other situations where it bounced back in the second half I think it would them what. -- Boca -- call agree bolt right -- just realized I I think Kevin's point I think he played. Not so great complementary football for staff that includes both offense defense and special teams that while the two missed field goal for a I think that played a role when it is well and I think we saw that the second half. Special teams in defense what your offense in position to do well. And I think we thought it down the stretch they think that's why they have the success they had. To the first half what it really good complementary football they got back to that second half he agreed to accept both sides as well without special -- penalty to the coincidence. We -- it out you know they are garbage time if you will -- yup and the confidence but we can talk more about that they'll road. But I think they got back to playing really good complementary football second look. This is there is no such thing in the NF Pelosi soft hitting football. OK we all know that if -- violent game played by violent men my friends here not include necessarily although they were violent men when they played through. What the patriots are ringing in this mentality that I haven't seen from this defense for a couple of years they are for a smaller faster. So it just the laws of physics tell you that they are getting harder because they're there they've got more speed when they get there. But secondly the speed that they have allows them to get into position to make plays. To a greater degree than they were able to do last year. But the Patriots defense they -- the -- body one thing that hopes. Steve and I think it's a little bit. Experience helped was the you know them explosives review -- -- steal -- -- times on the field. Is taking that's more stuff. You should there quicker which often made him look after. Sometimes it looks slower because you don't know what you're doing enough to function sometimes so. I know that -- your impression that there's greater speed and we'll have a guy like Cameron says it may be that the report this yes. It's no column but still that's from the linebacker this year about the same miserable -- right position. Seat maybe comparable but I think what happens as he wrote the gathering in late in the Lofton and you've got the right. You got the right experience level. You start anticipating plays reachable faster you get down harder spy at that point spike plays a great read it's a great -- and often I've wanted to for him at Johnson recognizes that -- -- that human being. -- what could be right there with one. But -- -- -- fast because we don't want to read so great he sees hope for anyone else with the war or. You would see that down down walked in the round you started so well right that makes them who you -- oh god that's what. And maybe that's awful enough right there with -- work with visits play. Or in the game you need better is where they can -- fast it got guys. And -- in that -- -- -- to go and he's going. Knowing that you would you attempt to. Well and and let's get to that point for a minute because and and Chris you've been around this team did today for a couple of years now. I think Kevin's point about trusted to go to and it is I'm not sure they necessarily trust that and Belichick talked about this all the time do your job. What if you're not convinced that that Chatham beside me is prepared to do his job maybe -- -- and over to his side a little bit. Went you know when the play is is underway maybe I'm worried about him being able to do with so I'll get over there to help him do it. If you know the guy out beside you was gonna do his job you're just focused on one thing. Not a company have a younger team because you really don't know that that -- -- magnitude you don't understand something that he's going to do with. That all comes with experience in -- -- of course if you're playing good quotes received. In the first first quarter of the season right distrust and they got it to me that stability when you're. In understanding through a few viewers as well. I think that's one of the things that you talk about last year's team and they've struggled -- I think right at the gate there was -- an inability to Ottawa team inability to trust but you have to learn how to play together -- that learning how to -- he deepened to have to learn how to trust guys. And I think it's nice to have a young team a fast team those young legs but at the same time it takes time. You'll that insisted he do that brought. And on -- defense where it is there a lot of new partner left yet this is that this is a very scheme an assignment that depended sort of defense so. Some play some -- is the route through laughter not about trying to back in the sky but. Overpaying for example with god if we make plays with a often in individual situation stressed that make the play which means to make it. Or -- why do people run through. And I think I actually don't mistake that officer course that sometimes young -- if you to get the play assignment football because there's not that sort of stressed the -- of flavors that concern that if I don't do the job that the coach you know as sort of drawn up -- might be off the field so. It's you know it's very assignment based -- the fire technique I'd stay in this one but -- I stay in this. If you were the defense -- -- don't feel like I ever have to read my response we get -- done. The poll itself will make the play. I think it makes it leaves you so sometimes the more multiple young group can actually work here that don't forget what have you been doing -- -- got to watch last -- fight. What does that mean he struggled -- -- everything we went back and forth on Twitter on a couple of people but a guy who. Blew up a couple plays -- -- just really fun to watch any candidate yet at the Arizona game -- Brady talked about that this that this week eat it. He's one of the most amazing. Play makers defensively right Brady stopped talking about this really really important point by that though and I think this is something that we were going to rate or you've been beat them -- -- It would bet for series game. And build build twelve play and play a -- it runs -- with the coverage on the field. With him and rock out to be perfectly -- coach Steve and not say that's discredit a -- I'll credit him because he made in game adjustments they've got that same front urban. Early it after the first drive you didn't see those problems in the that's a sign of a -- it's -- triple that's growing it's getting better. You know honestly the breakdowns and -- drive for a lot of him and -- happened at a phenomenal games with a deck of the comeback. Make the adjustments you're right the one overreact as we think he's the guy for me would be great. He knew it growing into that role at the rate. Middle linebacker run stopper what those guys beat you need to have a a truly great defense. I hit noted mission if you talk a little bit about it he said he'd been a little bit inconsistent you don't like where you. Like now you look at his whole body work but he's clearly rolling to that will lead to drifting through bit. Essentially. Pepper Johnson if it had become for -- Right coverage with him almost. When he forced up in the relationship between -- and bill talk with -- about the fly after the there -- a lot of similarities there between what pepper brought the field in what rated. Well and you bring up an interesting point to beat his -- and you used the term code -- matter a few minutes ago we hear that term a lot about players. I'm thinking is that the particularly. Johnson high tower. They may be comfortable and I think they probably are. But don't we just over complicate things don't think just how more talent. Then younger players that we're used to seeing here they wanna make 21 round picks you would expect those guys be able to step in and play and they can. Because they're better. If Jones is definitely that would fit them wanna fight nor does not like -- has on the ground have the -- not solemn. You know I'm trying to -- -- -- Witherspoon like crazy range over the field linebacker he moves really well he -- -- more and -- really. Places more welfare already he's NFL ready that's and he used it infuriating city area that I think the thing with him -- Would really gut feeling with me today. Knowing that he's the coach it will that I -- -- very cool guy he already knows the that -- and if the at years 34 right now is. Even now helping out help 88 football in the fight at just the thing. Tell me tell -- football terminology issue. That that -- -- playing you know it Ohio State is gonna know -- a guy playing for the patriots is gonna. One of things is things you look -- you will -- Look at how you make your read the a lot of guys. And then more polished repertoire probably include a lot of guys and other programs that that may be -- You know just to -- the back -- they're the guys from the view there's a different way to read this book she wouldn't walk from the box but boxes -- theory inside the tackles for friends out there. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- When you walked out against the receiver that brings imminent part of its own rules -- reunion mental -- the tackled through the back. Quarterbacks are always things for reform passed until the scheduled to rub basically if he seems more in depth if you even read faster. Which is it's not you know you are half player vaccine coverage -- -- have what happened for me it's a quick stepped to. Right and he seems that half the stuff where it looks like he's adept. You -- -- -- sort of lost in the wind kind of went from young guys if you'll see that as much with him like that that's colonel Kevin it's because you're living through real quick you've been five minutes with the minister not to discredit any little from the locker room. But he has got an astounding football like you. Don't think he just he knows stuff and have for your relief for. That guy's work when he threw 2324. Years old probably don't know it yet -- keep you -- way ahead you know a lot of guys didn't fit that you would have thought about that. Let me give you one tit bit of football -- -- we go to break we'll come back here just a couple of minutes. According Adam -- but ESPN. The NFL is not investigating the Buffalo Bills for not properly just -- disclosing -- Mario Williams wrist injury. And they don't take kindly to that sort of thing as Bill Belichick has found -- the past two hits to his dismay. According to Greg -- of the Boston Globe. The patriots were looked at as well concerning Logan Mankins knee injury. They were cleared. Because Mankins told the NFL. He would tell medical staff had a knee injury. So you can't quite put a bad knee injury report -- player doesn't tell the trainers that tell the doctors he's just saying screw this I'm gonna got it out anyway sonnet tell anybody. According to Greg Bedard that's what happened with the patriots they were investigated about Logan Mankins here -- sort -- meet the needs last year yeah national -- Supposedly you play the whole year with a torn AC Alitalia and subsequently found out that that yet and according half. And according to Logan Mankins. He never told the medical that. Which will now take it back into the category of if he is the toughest that's opium plant. Which raised the question what is an injury to Kevin. You know how many times you've been banged up at what point you have to cross that threshold and they go reported you know we've got were covered in bruises -- palaces and -- this is and that's windows across the threshold if you haven't missed time and that's important or -- missing practice time you can go fully available. The fact the more Williams you know had to put extra tape on it were a little split. But never missed anything I just I -- having to work its way in about say in the either side is wrong but it fizzled when -- in capital we have about who's watched us all that stuff going on when there's an injury become an injury. And in the in the Mario Williams case I guess we're what we're with a mop is a guy doesn't appear on the injury report all we want to make him my rounds on. That is the way that you and it held regularly talked about that but he played great that. So while events that the right. Well again heat -- -- -- afterwards. He had arrested actually kind of ruffled -- yeah yeah yeah oh yeah if you don't get that at all that he's saying well I couldn't play the way I normally play at my -- to her room and all of sudden. The NFL's that was coming your wrist hurt you weren't on the injury report with the electorate being -- now it it's that there's an easy way out of this week in Logan Mankins. Well he didn't know what all the it that the that the real battle with -- for. Really interesting that a question is you know in terms of a player's rights and what he can and cannot tell the team -- chooses not to help the team. In terms of going. Getting it and you know -- allies are getting work done. How will -- dead in its gonna be interesting to see if there's any sort of legal precedent here that because of what look at the --

As footage from the frontline goes, it was more embarrassing than outright scandalous. The ministry of defence was scrambling yesterday to explain why British servicemen in Afghanistan were fooling around with a £40m Harrier jet, after video pictures emerged apparently showing them playing a game of chicken with the warplane.
The 15-second video, shot at the Kandahar air base, shows a soldier with his back to the approaching jet. As it gets closer, his mates egg him on. But as the Harrier is about to fly overhead, the soldier looks over his shoulder and dives to the ground, shouting expletives as he does so.
It is not clear if the plane was taking off from the air base or deliberately flying low. The footage was posted by a 44-year-old former RAF serviceman on the internet video sharing site YouTube.com.
The Ministry of Defence yesterday was adopting a sanguine view. A spokesman said: "The Harrier provides excellent support to our guys on the ground, but we do not recommend that they fly that low, so we will have a word with them. The soldiers in Afghanistan are under pressure and this is them letting off steam."
"Imagine the Taliban underneath," said another defence official. "Harriers can be used as a show of force rather than dropping munitions."
Harrier pilots have been active in battles with Taliban fighters in southern Afghanistan. Wing Commander Martin Sampson, described as a "fearless and courageous airborne warrior", was recently awarded the Distinguished Service Order for action there. His citation says that in April his squadron was scrambled to help troops under heavy fire. As the situation became desperate, "at low level and in the face of heavy enemy gunfire, he received a broken message to drop all his rockets on to a different aim point", the citation says. "Unflustered, he readjusted his aim and neutralised the target." The wing commander flew more than 100 missions in 12 months.
Last month Major James Loden of 3 Para berated the RAF for being "utterly, utterly useless". He lambasted the pilot of a Harrier fighter-bomber for firing phosphorus bombs closer to British troops on the ground than the enemy.

- - Re-Naming A Boat (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/86579-re-naming-boat.html)
Re-Naming A Boat
My boat has had several names over the years. I was thinking about re-naming her, but am afraid about any bad luck it might bring.
Would it be ok to write the previous names on the stern in small (1-inch high) letters with the new name in larger lettering. Would this appease the Poseidon or upset him?
Re: Re-Naming A Boat
uhh, I don't know... Isn't that a little like making a mark through the tatooed names of old girl friends and getting a fresh tatoo of the current girl on your arm? We just bought an Olson 30 and I'm planning on doing plenty of ocean sailing (up/down the coast, and a possible double-handed venture to Bermuda), so I'm personally not taking any chances. This is what I'm going with before renaming her properly- 48° Vigor's Interdenominational Boat Denaming Ceremony
Re: Re-Naming A Boat
Nooooooooo! That will upset him for sure and will absolutely positively bring 100% certain doom!
ALL references to old names have got to go.
Here, look it's even on the Internet so you know it's true: Renaming Your Boat - BoatSafe.com
Re: Re-Naming A Boat
When you're dealing with Gods, make sure you don't skimp on the quality and quantity of champagne (see above referenced Vigor's ceremony). All references to past names must be removed from the boat and they should never again be spoken while aboard. To do so is at your peril. Many have chosen to ignore these well known truths, but they've all suffered terrible fates.
Re: Re-Naming A Boat
I think on this thread one can only express their personal beliefs on the subject.
For my 2peneth I think the honour and privilege of naming a baot belongs to those who commission the build.
I have only been able to buy 2nd hand boats so far, but I do look forward to the day when one day I can name my first Oyster! :)
__________________________________________________ ______________
However, I believe that a case could be made that the changing of name has nothing to do with the gods but the subsequent 'bad luck' is nothing more than law of attraction manifesting mis-fortune because you have the idea of 'bad luck' festering in the back of you mind...
And so because (on some level) you are thinking about mis-fortune, so shall you come to experience it...
Re: Re-Naming A Boat
Scrape it all off and put the new name on. Screw the jinx it's all in your head!!! If you sail stupid and sink is that a jinx or if you sail with total awareness and find your port is that luck?
Re: Re-Naming A Boat
Re: Re-Naming A Boat
Re-name her- get lots of champaign and friends and enjoy the ceremony. I did ours on the trailer at home and had the party oops ceremony at the dock when we put her in the water.
Re: Re-Naming A Boat
I too believe in keeping the original name. I can do that now because my new boat has a cool name that I like (Oceana) and it has always had the same name since 1938 AND it's welded onto the transom in big block letters. :) I'm pretty sure it's written in ink in Poseidon's ledger.
My last boat had a stupid name. And it had already been changed before I got it. So in that case, I pretty much HAD to change it because you never know if it was done correctly, and.... well it was stupid so duh!
Re: Re-Naming A Boat
Thanks for the good suggestions. I will not paint multiple names on the hull. I am actually thinking about renaming the boat back to its original name. While working on the boat I have found many references to this original name (under sole boards, under cusions, under galley access hatches) so this name was never totally gone from the boat.
I am not generally superstitous, but sometimes when boarding a boat, entering a building, or walking in an area, you get a feeling of past history. You do not want to disturb that history. Maybe it will not bring you bad luck if you do, but you may have better luck if you do not as you have not disturbed the energy of the area or object (I believe boats can store a lot of energy, that is why people are so drawn to boats, and particularly sailing vessels, as large engine can disturb the flow of energy) If I do rename, I will use the proper ceremony.

Object in Garbage Disposal
:help: Help!! Was rinsing some food off and I heard something bounce off the sink and go down the drain. When I tried to activate the garbage disposal after rinsing the food, the disposal made loud crunching noises...as if something metallic or plastic is in it. After trying to activate the disposal again once or twice and getting the same result, I immediately shut it off...I'm afraid to operate it again.
I have a feeling that what may have fallen in the disposal was something that came from the inside of the faucet...an aerator or washer or something like that as I was replacing the "water spray attachment" yesterday(not sure what its called--it sprays the water to facilitate rinsing).
What's my next move? Call a plumber and replace the disposal? Run the disposal and hope it clears? Try to take it apart myself?(I'm not the handiest person on earth)
Thanks in advance for any advice...
The first thing I would do is shut the power off for the GD and look down inside with a flash light and see what is in there. I would then try to remove it.
Do not run the disposer hoping that it will clear.
Success!! I took a spoon and manuvered it down the drain and was able to position an object towards the center of the GD. Then I got some ice tongs and grabbed the object. It was a piece of steak bone about the size and shape of a small rock!! No wonder the GD was raising so much !*%#$.
I went to my local hardware store and picked up one of those screens that fit over a kitchen drain...a small insurance policy for a couple of bucks. I don't want to go through this again...
Allan, HF, thanks for the input...:thumbup:

iOS 7 - Speculation.
Sir Jonathan Ive. So much postulation is bandying around about how he is going to 'revolutionise' the iOS UI, slay the skeumorphic dragon and rescue the princess, he can't possibly live up to being the shining knight… or can he?
In terms of track record; nothing more needs saying. In terms of intent; does he actually want to make the radical changes that some people are clammering after and should he?
One of the most satisfying things about the iOS platform is the affordance and tactility of the interfaces which urge and woo you into touching them.
There's some pretty obvious applications that need an overhaul (take a bow Game Center) and I think it's a given that we will see a paring down or even an almost total dismissal of a lot of the 'real world' textures and faux-leather of yester-year. But in terms of a radical overhaul, who knows? One of the most satisfying things about the iOS platform is the affordance and tactility of the interfaces which urge and woo you into touching them. I'd be very surprised if he peeled back all familiarity to follow the latest design trend - in fact, I think we both know it's out of the question. However, if we look at the updates that were made in iOS 6, you can notice a more subtle and paper-esque style to the UI. When I say paper-esque, I'm not talking about some corny crumpled texture. I mean a high quality Italian 300gsm beautifully crisp off-white paper. That's a texture I can get behind.
Almost every native app escaped any decent UI updates with iOS 6 but one particular one managed to slip through - the Music app.
Comparatively to the rest of the native applications, Music is a veritable masterpiece of subtlety and restraint. But most tellingly it's also almost completely devoid of the signature iOS 'gloss finish'. The improvements from iOS 5 are immense but, to me, it also seems to signal a very positive move forward in terms of the direction that the iOS design is going. The textures are still resident but in the restrained, high quality tones of a pastoral symphony, instead of a brash and gaudy pop song shouted by spandex-clad morons. Note: it's still not flat design but merely minimalist - there are gradients but they serve only to hint at the touch elements instead of emulating a duplo button. The difference is phenomenal and if they can make similar improvements across the board, the whole iOS experience will be enriched.
Another simple but noticeable improvement was the weather app which pulled back all the keylines to single pixels, de-bolded the text and took out the heavy drop shadowing.
As such, I've created an example of the settings page (in response to a Dribbble post by the insanely talented Louie Mantia) showing my ideas of where they might go with iOS 7.
There's a number of simple elements which I could see them using from other popular apps and design patterns currently in iOS, such as the notion of 'cards' to place the information upon.
Instead of the old 'cut out' blocks, a subtle card placed on top of the background layer (which itself has been simplifed).Also, the characteristic gloss has been ditched to give a simpler and more subtle feel to the icons and the on/off switches.Visual indicators which are almost semi-redundant such as the chevron have been backgrounded.The nav bar has been smoothed out and, along with the shadowing, given a more subtle, crisp feel. The main blue has been brought down to a classier, almost royal tone. I also dropped a couple of cheeky 'wishes' in there; for multiple accounts on one phone and the possibility of widgets on the desktop.

I have a small indented scar on my left cheek, can I expect it to flatten and smooth out with time?
hi, I a small indented scar on my left cheek, will it flatten out, fill out, or smooth out with time, the scar is about a month old, I'm afraid I have no photo for you, need some expert advice to put my mind at rest, thanks.
Doctor Answers 2
Scars and Healing Time
Great question. All scars are different and all people heal differently. Depending on how deep the scar is (what it is from), your own healing tendencies, and location of the scar all make a difference in the final outcome. A month is still a short period of time and your scar will continue to improve in appearance; likely filling in as well. After 3 months, or even sooner-- you may consider being evaluated by the proper physician to address the possibilities of dermal filler, laser resurfacing, or even surgical scar revision. The first two are non-invasive ways to really improve the texture of scars after a series of treatments on the cheek. Good luck!
I have a small indented scar on my left cheek, can I expect it to flatten and smooth out with time?
It is possible that this scar will improve over the next 11 months to a point that you will be happy with it. It's impossible to give specific advice without seeing the scar. However, if the scar is still indented at 12 months post-injury typical options include scar revision, laser resurfacing or filler treatment to raise the depressed area.

The Impossible Advantage
Before a full-house at ESMT, Ned Wiley engaged participants in new ways to consider disruption. Using his depth of experience working on four continents, with major firms as well as start-ups, Ned presented a series of fascinating case-studies bringing to light the critical keys to business success. As is customary for our ESMT Open Lectures, the small group environment lent itself to a stimulating interaction with the many entrepreneurs in the audience.
Ambassador John Kornblum, Chairman of the John F. Kennedy Atlantic Forum, spoke to Inforadio about the US elections.
The interview includes a long section on immigration, innovation and start-ups, around 15 minutes into the discussion.
Expanding Your Startup Business to the US: An Insider's Perspective
On March 16, 2016, JFKAF and GTEC were pleased to organize a conversation with Joshua Cohen on a topic of high interest to international entrepreneurs – the risks and rewards of expanding to the U.S. As a serial entrepreneur, adviser, and innovation consultant, Josh Cohen clarified not only ecosystem distinctions, but the impact of "frictions" in the market as well as the critical but intangible cultural differences that entrepreneurs must be prepared to address in any move to the United States:
JFKAF wishes to express appreciation to Dr. Michael F. Keppel for his support for our 2016 programs.
For 2016, JFKAF is continuing its partnership with the German Tech Entrepreneurship Center (GTEC), one of Europe's leading entrepreneurship platforms. JFKAF and GTEC are generating a unique synergy in promoting a spirit of achievement based on a culture of risk and reward, with programs such as serial entrepreneur Josh Cohen discussing the prospects for start-up expansion to the U.S. on March 16, 2016 at GTEC/ESMT.
In November 2015 our conference "Tel Aviv - Berlin - New York: Entrepreneurial Hotspots: Innovative Ecosystems in a Virtual World" explored the Israeli ecosystem for entrepreneurship and the expanding synergy with Germany and United States:
Another 2015 highlight was our conference "Failing as Opportunity: Towards a New Transatlantic Risk and Reward Culture", organized in cooperation with the Herrhausen Foundation:

text: Hi all, Scanned through the forums for my problem and it sounds like other people have had it. I have a 2001 Suburban LS and my issue is the interior lights stay on and only turn off after the car has been off and the 20 minute accessory power-down kicks in. The dome override switch has no effect. I am pretty sure that the driver door switch is working (the door that gets 99% of the use) because the accessory power to the radio shuts off when I open the driver door. I did take off the battery ground for a minute to reset the system but the problem remains. Lights come on and stay on while I am driving. Is there anything else I can try? I saw someone mention the courtesy light module and/or a 30 second delay module...... Which is the bum part? Is it difficult to get to and replace? Where is it? Expected cost? Thanks alot for any assistance!

I'm glad Monique is gone too, but mainly because I kept getting her mixed up with Mikaela. Neither of them have really distinguished themselves, but now at least there's only one of them!
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' - Isaac Asimov
I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"
Well, Alexandria looks like a meth head so...
I'm like Mikaela more and more. I don't think Tyra's criticism of her eye contact is necessarily fair - she has heavily lidded eyes which just naturally make her a little sleepy-looking. Molly is still my favourite, however.
If you type "google" into google you can break the internet.
I did like that Tyra said some shots were good eye contact, some not. And in a group photo, the not-good eye shot of you might be used if overall everyone looks better there. I heard it as she is making progress, but she still needs work. I agreed that she should have been kept over Monique.
I was surprised that no one on the show mentioned Monique's constant cussing. It seemed like they were always having to bleep her out. That with the eye-rolling and diary-reading makes me glad she's gone.
This wasn't the most entertaining of episodes. Tyra going on about modeling archetypes was just a boring lecture. Will this be on the midterm, Ms. Tyra? *yawn*
You've gotta hustle if you want to earn a dollar. - Boston Rob
Glad Monique is gone. Pretty girl, but oh so annoying.
Can I say how much I love Tyra's hair this season? Such a huge improvement over previous seasons.
I adore Jaclyn. And Hannah. Brittani takes some nice photos but her personality is starting to annoy me.
I like Mikaela in motion - she's very pretty and animated and modelly. But in still photos, she's always got the dead-eye thing going on. She has a lot of potential though.

James Knigt and his Knight Vision Studios is a TOTAL SCAM. They take you money and can't deliver the motion capture data.
I hired them for a music video shoot when they were located at Raliegh Studios / Best Practices Lab.
On day 2 one of our dancers was injured, when a mocap camera fell from an over head rail (10ft). The dancer fell into a c-stand. They broke their left wrist and had had a 4 inch cut in their scalp that needed stiches. They were taken by ambulance to Cedars Sinai. The EMS bill was $2,200, The emergence room bill was $3,700.00. Our company's workemens comp covered their wages. Knight Vision Lied on the contract they gave us. They charged us $250.00 per day for insurance, though the DID NOT HAVE INSURANCE. Raleigh Studios said James rented the stage and it was up to Knight Vision to provide insurance. Knight Vision was not a partner with Knight Vision. [continued below]....
We finished the shoot with another dancer. James delived the data 3 weeks Late. The Data was JUNK! It was not sovled or retargeted. It was WORTHLESS. James said he would fix it. We got the fixed data 1 week later and it was WORTHLESS.
We did not pay the balance owed to Knight Vision. We sued Knight Vision for deposit we paid, as well as the EMS Bill and Hospital Bill, Orthopedic Surgeons Bill and Physical Therapists Bill.
JAMES Filed Chapter 11.

Value point distributions Doesn't deliver and steals your money after lies Mill Valley California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.

My husband ordered a hot tub in March 2014 for delivery in May 2014. We never received an email about delivery so we called 3 days after the date. We were told there was a problem in production and now delivery is now for August. We were guaranteed the May delivery or the order would have never been placed.
On August 20th we got a call saying our money had been stolen by the distributor and we needed to call our credit card company to refund our money. My husband said to them that they knew this 3 months ago and why didn't they tell us then. They said they were hoping to get it resolved. Then they had the balls to ask if we wanted to place another order! My husband's response was if they could deliver the hot tub we would give the driver cash. They said they would get back to us. Never heard back
This company needs to have charges filed so they cannot continue this! DO NOT order anything from them!!

Let's face it: We subject our tresses to a lot of stress. From teasing to highlighting, it's a wonder they haven't broken up with us yet. To help repair our relationship (and our split ends), we swear by this kit from Number 4™ Hair Care. It's got everything you need to get rid of product buildup and bring back smoothness and shine. A $76 value!
I am officially obsessed with Number 4. I was torn because, given the priciness, I was considering hedging my bets and buying the volumizing shampoo (I have fine hair, and not enough of it). In the end, I decided to get this b/c I already knew I liked the clarifying shampoo and I *love* the leave in treatment. Other reviewers note a smell - I don't really notice much of one at all. The serum and masque are terrific as well. All in all, would highly recommend buying.5
I have a ton of fine hair on my head and living in the South does not help my hair at all! It can be hard to manage and the humidity can make it go crazy! This kit has already made my hair so much more manageable and I have only had it a week! It comes with two generous samples of the oil and masque, and the two full size products alone can't be purchased for the same price!! This is such a great buy to me!!! It leaves my hair smelling so amazing that even a shift as a chef in a hot kitchen full of food can't take the smell fully away!! So addicted to this kit already!!5
I love No.4 hair products! They work well with my hair type (color-processed) and the smell is wonderful! I use the clarifying shampoo and masque at least 3 times per week to keep my long locks looking healthy and smooth! The kit is a great purchase price for the amount of product you receive.5
I was a hairdresser for 25 yrs. This is absolutely the best leave in spray I have ever used in my life. My hair is coarse and curly, one spritz and you will see a difference. It doesn't weigh you hair down and the feel of your hair after using it is soft and controllable. I received it in my box this month! Thank you Birchbox!5
I received the trial size cleanser in my birchbox and loved it so much, I had to order the full size. I also love the conditioner and leave in spray. I use this once a week, and my hair and scalp always feel so clean and fresh after. I've never found a clarifying shampoo that truly feels like it cuts through all the buildup and leaves your hair so refreshed!5
These products are top notch. The leave in Prep& Protect is an all-time fave. My hair feels great and has volume. The shampoo is just as impressive...a very little bit goes a long way. The best part about this kit is the savings! Not only is it a discounted price, but it qualifies for free shipping as well--bonus!5
I received a sample of this shampoo and conditioner and FELL IN LOVE, so much so that I ordered this kit right away! I am very hard on my hair I die, change it, burn it, style it, and everything else! So needless to say I need my hair products to step up to the plate! The shampoo removes all the build up and removes all the kinks so i dont condition every time. I will never live with out the Prep and Protect spray again! It makes it very silky and smooth! Its perfect for detangling your hair when dirt too!5
I received the shampoo in my first Birchbox and loved it so I knew I wanted that but after seeing all the positive reviews about this set I was curious. I love it! My favorite thing besides the shampoo is the detangling/protecting spray. I don't even have to use conditioner and I just spray it on after the shower and comb through my hair. The conditioner is also nice but for me I can't use that and the detangling spray (the box says you can but I don't think that's a good idea for thin/fine hair). I haven't tried the hair oil yet. These products give my hair great volume and I like the smell.5
My hair is fine, and has always gotten matted and knotted and tangled after washing and conditioning, it is greasy if I don't wash it every day, and it holds water like you wouldn't believe. It is unbelievable how long it takes me to blow dry my hair, even my hair dresser is shocked every time, as it takes anywhere from 25-45 minutes.
I've been using these products for 2 months now. I was a bit skeptical, because the shampoo doesn't lather like traditional shampoos. I was afraid the spray was only going to make my hair greasy and I seriously doubted the mask was going to help...I thought it would weigh my hair down and make it greasy.
After using this shampoo for a few weeks my hair is unbelievable! I can get out of the shower, throw it in a towel for a few minutes, and then run my fingers through my WET hair without it being a tangled mess! My hair dries in under 20 minutes and it has tons of body! The best part is, I can go 2-3 days without washing my hair! I NEVER thought I could do that!
The mask is wonderful and doesn't weigh my hair down at all, and I only use the spray if I had teased my hair that day and it was particularly knotted, or if I plan on flat ironing my hair.
Everyone who knows me has commented on my hair lately, and several of them have started using the shampoo also!

- Publisher's Summary
- Most observers agree that modern physical theory attempts to provide objective representations of reality. However, the claim that these representations are based on conventional choices is viewed by many as a denial of their objectivity. As a result, objectivity and conventionality in representation are often framed as polar opposites. Offering a new appraisal of symmetry in modern physics, employing detailed case studies from relativity theory and quantum mechanics, "Objectivity, Invariance, and Convention" contends that the physical sciences, though dependent on convention, may produce objective representations of reality. Talal Debs and Michael Redhead show that both realists and constructivists have recognized important elements of an understanding of science that may not be contradictory. The position - "perspectival invariantism" - introduced in this book highlights the shortcomings of existing approaches to symmetry in physics, and, for the constructivist, demonstrates that a dependence on conventions in representation reaches into the domain of the most technical sciences. For the realist, it stands as evidence against the claim that conventionality must undermine objectivity. We can be committed to the existence of a single real ontology while maintaining a cultural view of science.

Drug Sweep Hits Hammel Houses
Deputy Inspector Thomas Barrett, the commanding officer of the 100 Precinct, led the team of police officers who executed 10 search warrants in the Hammel Houses and nearby locations.
One additional warrant was executed at the Edgemere Houses as well.
Police sources say that the Wednesday morning raids came as a part of a longtime undercover narcotics investigation in Rockaway's public housing projects, in which the undercover cops bought large quantities of narcotics from the present defendants.
In January of 2008, a drug sweep at the Hammel Houses netted 34 narcotics arrests.
In February of 2007, cops busted 42 drug dealers at the Hammel Houses. In that four-month undercover operation, cops made 150 separate buys of cocaine and marijuana.
Many of those arrested in the sweeps were members of the Bloods and Get It In Bricks (GIB) gangs.
In June of 2008, police officers from the 100 Precinct Housing Unit executed a search warrant at the Hammel Houses arresting three residents and confiscating several weapons, including a machine pistol, as well as a quantity of heroin.
Both police sources and a spokesperson for Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said that they were still sorting out the defendants and the possible charges against them as The Wave went to press.

1. Recite the Kalimah or any Dua on your way to work. We spend at least half an hour or more commuting to our workplace. To fully utilize this particular time, make a habit of reciting the Dua as you step out of your doorway, and continue with the recitation of the Kalimah or any Quranic verse silently. Those who travel in trains or busses can open up their favourite Quran apps on their gadgets and listen to or read the recitation along with its translation. Allah (swt) will reward you for each and every effort that you do to please Him, no matter how little it may be.
2. Greet your colleagues with Salam. Maintaining cordial relations with the people around you is a major part of following the Sunnah. Upon meeting any fellow Muslim, saying "Assalamu Alaikum" is a very simple Sunnah to follow. Prophet Muhammad (sa) said: "Greet those whom you know and those whom you do not know." (Bukhari)

First year bee keeper here. I got 4 hives this year, two packages, two established hives. The two packages are killing it, two deeps and one super on each. The two established hives are not doing well. I found a un mated queen laying only drone brood in one hive and dispatched her today. The other established hive has laying workers. I ordered two Cardovian Queens today, one for each hive.
My question is how do I introduce a queen to the laying worker hive with out them killing her.
Is a shake out 100 yards away the best thing.
Should I add her in a queen cage for a couple of days with some open brood.
Any help would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.......

Raised Panels?
Hey guys, i was wondering if anyone has ever done raised panels. I saw they sell pre-made ones ready for install but i want to learn to make them myself.
Basically what im asking is if anyone could tell me how or give me a guide on making raised panels and tell me what tools are required to do it.
I would suggest that you stick with the pre-fabricated panels. The reasons are because of the level of tools required, bits and extensive detail work involved. See for yourself:
On the other hand, if you have a wood shop, money to spend on tools, and time on your hands.....go for it.
Here is another link I found, tho, I don't know how good the results would look:
If you got a shop with a jointer, planer, table saw, router table, dust collector, sander, good flat workbench and a bunch of parallel clamps, you should be good to go.
The tablesaw method is very easy and you can produce quite a few panels in little time. If you're using a Bies fence, build a support jig out of MDF or CG plywood. It should look like a lowercase 'h'. This will slip on top of the fence and the verticle member will be the support. Using a good blade, you will have very little sanding.
sorry but by raised panels i was talking about for walls not doors, i wasn't too specific in my question.
It's no different doing them for walls.
Raised panels are simple for any intermediate woodworker who owns a tablesaw, and a router. Doing flat raised panels on a table saw is very effective, and easy. Finish them off with a hand plane, because sanding them will destroy the crisp edges.
The more difficult part of raised panel cabinetry is the rails and stiles. Although with wall panelling that is much easier because the frames do not have to be structurally strong.
I have to respectfully disagree with your comment about being long-lasting and of no structural strength. While they may not be as strong as traditional MT, they do serve the purpose of building solid well built panels/doors. If your assessment is correct, there's going to be a whole bunch of cabinets falling apart...that's what the majority of cabinet manufactures use. For many it comes at the cost of the bit set and a router with a decent table and fence. Most can not/will not spend the $$$ for the bits that may be used on one small project. If one was doing a whole kitchen, of course they could justify the expense.
Raised panels mounted to a wall could use pocket screws to hold the frame together, they'll never be seen and are strong.
For the OP, In a wall application, there are many techniques using molding and plywood that will allow you to have the raised panel look...with out the expense and problems of solid wood panels. And depending on whether you're planning on painting or staining the panels, each technique has it's own advantages.

The Spirits Industry Vocational Qualification (SIVQ) is a competence-based qualification that has been developed and endorsed by the Scotch Whisky Association and is awarded by SQA.

I have found SQA to be very approachable. Each time I have a query it has been acted on efficiently and quickly. Employers that we work with in the meat industry recognise the SVQ awards and are happy for us to deliver these qualifications.
SQA registration and certification is very easy to do and very reliable. There is no guessing when registrations will be approved or certification completed as it is done on a very regular basis.
