Off-season offering
After a highly successful third summer concert series, the Lakes Area Chamber Music Festival is back for its first concert of the "off-season" at 3 p.m. Sunday at Tornstrom Auditorium.
Pianist Gregory DeTurck will return to perform a free concert that is open to audiences of all ages. DeTurck will perform solo works by Bach and Schnittke, and he will be joined by festival artistic director and cellist Scott Lykins for duos by Beethoven and Shostakovich. In addition to the performance, the organization will unveil future plans, including concert dates and information for the 2012 season.
In presenting six world-class classical music concerts in August, the Lakes Area Chamber Music Festival brought more than 50 guest musicians from around the country to the lakes area. Members of the Minnesota and St. Paul Chamber Orchestras were joined by aspiring musicians from top international music conservatories in a unique collaboration, from small ensembles to full orchestras. In addition to the August series at Tornstrom Auditorium, the organization presents a prelude series in communities around central Minnesota in July and a handful of educational opportunities for area residents of all ages. Each of these activities are free; free-will donations will be accepted.
DeTurck became an audience favorite in August, performing a duo recital with Lykins as well as a solo with the Lakes Area Chamber Orchestra for Beethoven's "Triple" Concerto on violin, cello and piano.
DeTurck began studying piano at the age of 4 and holds bachelor's and master's degrees from the Eastman School of Music and the Juilliard School, studying with Thomas Schumacher and Julian Martin. Upon graduation from Juilliard, he entered a two-year residency program as a Fellow of the Academy in New York City, a program of Carnegie Hall, Juilliard and the Weill Music Institute. He has performed around the country as soloist with the Minnesota and Philadelphia orchestras and the Los Angeles and Rochester philharmonics. Recent recital venues include Carnegie's Zankel and Weill Halls, Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, the Niemeyer Center, the Tanglewood Music Center and the Phillips Collection Series, among many others. This last spring he completed his doctorate at the Eastman School and this fall started his first semester as a faculty member in the Theory Department at the University of Pennsylvania. Upcoming performances include a solo recital for Radio Suisse Espace 2 in Geneva, Switzerland, and a week-long residency in Madeira, Mexico.
For more information on the festival and this concert go to lakesareamusic.org. This concert is sponsored, in part, by grants from the Brainerd Lakes Area Community Foundation and the Five Wings Arts Council through the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Australia, and Sydney most of all, is embarrassingly behind in the ballooning global bike-share stakes.
Yet we cannot pin the entire blame on our nanny-state obsession with compulsory helmets or knee-jerk partisan opposition to cycle paths that may get in the way of our beloved cars.
These are the trees that hide the woods, excuses for our inability to embrace reforms that could transform our capitals into far more liveable, enjoyable and authentically modern metropolises. And all through the ingenious public-private partnerships that have funded the schemes in standard-bearers such as Paris, London and now New York.
Australia's much vaunted world-class cities are worse than third-world when it comes to innovation in urban transport. Instead of bringing back the trams and instituting clever bike and car-sharing programs that really catch on, we are in gridlock, and not only while sitting in traffic jams from Perth to Adelaide and Sydney.
One factor bogging us down is the interminable insistence on obligatory helmets – yet studies show bike safety is best protected by other measures, with health benefits outweighing potential risks by 20 to 1.
Or as Macquarie University professor in finance and actuarial studies Piet de Jong told the New York Times : "Statistically, if we wear helmets for cycling, maybe we should wear helmets when we climb ladders or get into a bath, because there are lots more injuries during those activities."
Legislative and political inflexibility means Melbourne's bike-share scheme has had a less than impressive take-up. The daunting head gear obstacle blocks enthusiasts pushing for Sydney to get on its collective bike.
Tories taking the lead
At the same time, cities such as Paris are powering ahead with integrated city transport options. The city's government is adding vast, energy-efficient tramway systems that ring the centre, connecting suburban areas and building the sprawling car-sharing scheme called the Autolib on the same model as the brilliant, inexpensive, private-sector-backed Vélib bicycle-sharing marvel.
A quick trip to the French capital, London and now New York hammers home the reality that forward-looking, globally interconnected metropolises are embracing alternative transport.
Cities are being shared by pedestrians, cyclists and those who only want to use cars when necessary, instead of being ruled exclusively by those behind the wheel of a vehicle. Traffic and pollution improves, as does overall health and wellbeing.
The charismatic leaders doing the grunt work are not all left-wing greenies. Following the lead of Paris's visionary outgoing mayor,
New York, under its billionaire mayor, the Republican-turned-independent
There have been some predictable "Nimby" protests from West Village millionaires and restaurant owners, cross that the new docking stations will sully the look of their prime real estate or chic nosheries. In gentrifying once hard-scrabble working-class neighbourhoods of Brooklyn, some locals are protesting against what they see as white yuppies arriving and the rent and price hikes they bring.
But 70 per cent of New Yorkers are in favour of the program, according to surveys. This is in large part thanks to the crusading Bloomberg's leadership.
Over several years, he has installed successive bike lanes and made the entire city more friendly and therefore safer for riders and pedestrians. So why is Australia – notably Sydney – creative and innovative on so many fronts but lacking in long-term vision on urban planning and transport? It is not as if Australians lack knowledge that could inspire us to think big-picture about how we move around our congested urban areas.
New York City's senior bureaucrat in charge of the Built Environment and Healthy Housing program,
The issue is indeed complicated by Australia's draconian helmet laws. No one wants to share a helmet, and having to carry one in case you want to hire a bike for an hour won't work. The solution is a new legal framework leaving riders with the ultimate choice, and a cross-party political will driven by widespread public support.
Disappointingly, cycling has been too politicised in Sydney. With Lord Mayor Clover Moore being a lightning rod for all that the conservatives hate, bike paths have automatically and unfortunately fallen into that category.
Still, over in London, it is true-blue Tory BoJo who is spending millions, with Barclays help, on his treasured bike-share system. Amazingly, these bike schemes are flourishing in northern hemisphere cities with often miserable, cold climates. Imagine how pleasurable it would be to ride most places in Australian cities, blessed as they are with sunshine and generally milder weather.
There is a way to make this work so the private sector stumps up for plenty of the costs. The lowest-cost model for riders is the Paris Vélib, where the taxpayer paid very little for the program start-up. Income from Paris's lucrative bus shelter advertising is offered in return to JCDecaux, the firm that underwrites the scheme. Bloomberg, whose scheme is more expensive for bikers, has done sponsorship deals with Citibank.
France may have its intractable economic problems, but it could teach Australia much about urban transport. If we consider ourselves world class, bike sharing and the transport transformations it entails are frontiers Australia must breach.

I tried my first work-out from the Simplefit site.
I did the 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 squats in twenty minutes. All of my pull-ups after the first three were jumping pull-ups, which really felt like cheating. I got in 11 rounds with several periods of panting rest.
But it was a start.
Next week I head up to Syracuse for their foundations course and while visiting my girlfriend late this weekend, early next week, I should be able to visit Albany's crossfit gym for my first CF experience, sure to be a rude awakening.

Crave that unlimited budget style? The look of luxe ultimately is more about taste -- and a few tips and tricks -- than it is about never having to look at the price tag. For this edition of my Interior Inspiration series, I thought I'd share a few of the ways the Modern Millionaire gets that classic green-with-envy look.
Putting a lot of colour in just the centre will start to look awkward, so you'll need to make sure to put it on your surfaces as well. Drapery is an excellent way to bring colour to your walls without committing long term. You can also add art, or paint your picture frames, and include a colourful accent rug to bring life to the floor
In 1960, a German immigrant named Klaus Nienkamper came to Canada with $36 in his pocket, limited English skills, and a desire for success. It's a common dream, but Nienkamper succeeded. And today his son, also Klaus Nienkamper, is the president of a thriving furniture retail company that bears his name.
With the wintertime coming, many of you reading this have probably already covered up the BBQ, put away the patio furniture, or closed up the balcony doors. To help make your basement (or any other chilly and under-utilized space) look and feel warmer, here are my tips for designing your way to a cozy interior environment.

Bob Crane was born Robert Edward Crane, in Waterbury, Connecticut, July 13th 1928. In 1942, at the age of 14, Bob began drumming for the Connecticut Symphony Orchestra. He was dismissed a year later because he was not considered "serious enough." Shortly thereafter, Bob began a radio career which eventually took him west to Los Angeles, and landed him in the morning drive slot at CBS powerhouse KNX, where he became known as "The King of the Los Angeles Airwaves." His show was not only wildly successful, it was revolutionary. Bob filled the broadcast booth with wry wit and charisma, not to mention drums, chimpanzees, and movie stars. His show was the number-one-rated morning show in Los Angeles, and Hollywood's biggest stars were regular guests on his show; Marilyn Monroe, Ronald Regan, Jayne Mansfield, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Hope, and Frank Sinatra, to name only a handful.
It was during his reign as "King of the L.A. Airwaves" that Crane captured the attention of CBS television executives. He began making guest appearances on The Dick Van Dyke Show, among others. Soon he landed himself a regular role on The Donna Reed Show as Doctor David Kelsey. Then, in 1965 Crane was offered...Continue reading

To stop you from just hitting snooze and rolling back over, you can be made to do a math problem, scan the bar code on an item in another room or follow a patterned sequence.

This will wake you up! It gives you plenty of different options to allow you to wake up the way you want to. It has subtle alarms and blazing alarms, and gives you the ability to customize your alarm anyway needed.

Facebook Admin Roles – Manager, Content Creator, Moderator, Advertiser, Insights Analyst
Earlier this summer Facebook added 5 different access levels for administrators of company/brand/organization pages, known as "admin roles". These allow business owners greater control over what their employees and marketing vendors are actually able to modify on their pages and choosing access levels for each individual user is very simple. What FB didn't make easy was the process of actually adding new admins, which has always been chaotic and always changing. In today's post, we'll discuss the various ways you can add new admins to your page and more importantly – the best/easiest way.

Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
In clinical studies, 555 patients were exposed to Amyvid. Amyvid caused no serious adverse reactions in the studies and the reported adverse reactions were predominantly mild to moderate in severity. The adverse reactions reported in more than one subject within the studies are shown in Table 2.

It is not my intention to take issue with Mr. Adolph Lewisohn's conception of what constitutes America or a good American citizen, as expressed in his statement opposing Dr. Eliot's widely discussed remarks on Jewish and Irish nationalism. Every one these days seems to have a different opinion as to what is a true American, and Mr. Lewisohn is certainly entitled to his beliefs.

A hunter missing since Monday has been found today after walking out of Aorangi Forest Park 15km from where he became separated from his hunting party.
Michael Lindsay, 22, has been taken to hospital with minor injuries after he found power line contractors working at the edge of the park who called 111.
Police said the Upper Hutt hunter was not carrying a personal locator beacon when he ventured into the Wairarapa park.
Police and a Land Search and Rescue team had more than 50 volunteers and two helicopters, including an Air Force Iroquois, conducting an extensive search of an area around the Kawakawa Hutt.
Inspector Simon Perry said people venturing into the outdoors needed to carry emergency equipment so they could be found if they became lost.
"If they become disoriented but find their way to a hut they should remain there until help arrives," he said.

Yardbarker Blogger Poll: Week 6
Back in the saddle for yet another week of digital collaboration with a bunch of dudes I met on the internet. More professionally; the weekly Yardbaker Power Ranking, brought to you be Gillette Fusion. With some solid experience behind us, these Week 5 rankings should provide a little more relevance. Our team of experts have deduced that there is nothing more relevant than Archie Manning's parenting skills. Seriously. I mean, the guy must have been a wizard with Lincoln Logs and pumping vegetables down his children's throats; namely, Peyton and Eli - who sit atop our Power Rankings for the second straight week. Other notable movers and shakers: the Broncos, Eagles and Bengals. What can we say? Our professionals are easily influenced by teams with animal names. You hear that Rams, Bucs and Lions? Give us a little and we'll give you a lot.
- Matt / Joe Sports Fan
Black Sports Online: At this point in the season it is becoming clear who the contenders and who have absolutely no shot (sort of like Rush Limbaugh chances of owning the Rams). But remember it is still early; it isn't how you start, it is how you finish. I think there will be a lot of movement over the next couple of weeks as some of the big boys start clashing with each other.
Rumors & Rants: Carson Palmer showed me something with that game-winning drive on Sunday. Maybe, just maybe the Bengals are for real. This is also a huge week for the AFC West. The Broncos look like they're for real, but their Monday night matchup with San Diego looms large for both squads as it could decide the division title in October.
Cold Hard Football Facts: The NFL makes up for the Week 5 debacle, the worst week of games in memory, with a battle of statistical juggernauts in NYG and NO. If not morbidly obese, we'd jump for joy. Cincy, meanwhile, is easily the No. 2 surprise team of 2009, after Denver. Remember, the Bungles were 0-8 last year. They're 8-4-1 in the 13 games since.
Sportz Assassin: I'm finally giving in to the Broncos. This team is good. I'm not as sold on the Bengals yet. I still think the Colts are the best team playing right now, though watching the Giants and Saints go after it this Sunday will be awesome!
Awful Announcing: The top ten, and bottom ten, are probably similar across the board. My trouble is where do you rank underachieving teams compared to those that are overachieving. There's no way I think the Bengals could defeat some of the teams in the middle of the pack (Arizona, Dallas, SD), but you have to give the Cardiac Cats some credit.
Midwest Sports Fan: I'm buying into both the Bengals and the Broncos. Don't crown them yet, but they have both impressed me thus far. The Patriots and Ravens take a big dip this week. I'm sure they will both make the playoffs, they both must step up their game to hang with the Colts and Broncos and even the Bengals in the AFC.

My mother-in-law (who is a knitter) recently bought the new children's book Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Jon Klassen after reading a recent review of it in the Grand Rapids Press. She brought it to our house and read it to my preschool-age daughter. Although I am crafty, I am not a knitter (yet!) so I was surprised to be so thoroughly charmed by this beautiful and sweet story.
The best books for kids have equally strong stories and illustrations. The very best books for kids create magic when the words and the images seem made for each other and both are enchanting. Extra Yarn hits that sweet spot – perhaps because the author was inspired to write the story after viewing a piece of art by the illustrator.
It is not industry standard for authors and illustrators to know each other or even meet. However, as I discovered in Jennifer Ackerman Haywood's interviews with both the author and illustrator, these two did know each other and collaborated on the creation of this book. So it headed to the publisher as a package deal.
The story is wonderful and the extra yarn brings life and color and humor to an otherwise drab town. The ending has a dash of the unexpected and magical, allowing children to bask in a sense of wonderment. Check it out today!
PS If you enjoy the illustrations by Jon Klassen you might want to check out his hilarious, if slightly darker, I Want My Hat Back. I loved it so much I had to buy it. It made me laugh so hard I cried.

Alberta seeks solution to traffic-jammed highway in oilsands country
Highway 63 is the only route the 57,000 people who work in oilsands operations at Fort McMurray have to drive to work, and about half of those workers do drive, creating traffic jams comparable to those in Los Angeles, and Alberta is focusing on options, such as a dedicated bus lane, that move more people rather than vehicles.

BOULDER--Summer thunderstorms are notorious for triggering flightschedule mayhem. In the midst of this season's share of delays andcancellations, a new forecast tool is quietly providing the airlinestheir best shot at spotting thunderstorm hazards across the nation.
Developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) withfunding from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the NationalConvective Weather Forecast has been whipping out storm updates everyfive minutes over the Internet since June 1, and the major airlinesare tuning in.
"We check the updated forecast throughout the day. It's invaluable aswe determine routings and select altitudes for our aircraft," saysSteve Caisse, flight superintendent for Delta Air Lines and pastpresident of the Airline Dispatchers Federation. "It givesdispatchers a better picture of where the thunderstorms will be overthe next several hours, which is a critical element in the safe andefficient execution of our flight schedule."
Among the other major airlines using the National Convective WeatherForecast are American, Northwest, Southwest, and TWA.
An official National Weather Service guidance product, the on-line"nowcast" operates out of the NWS Aviation Weather Center (AWC) inKansas City, Missouri. Its one-hour national thunderstorm forecastautomatically updates every five minutes to help commercial airlines,the FAA, and general aviation keep planes safe and on time.
"We're working to provide the most accurate, current, and usefulthunderstorm information available within today's technology," saysNCAR project scientist Cynthia Mueller. Mueller, along withcolleagues, developed the system for the FAA over the past year fromher NCAR office in Boulder, Colorado. It is the most recent outcomeof 15 years of NCAR research and development aimed at providingthunderstorm forecasts for the aviation community.
The nowcast is used together with another recently developed guidancetool, the Collaborative Collective Forecast Product, now in itssecond year of operation at the AWC. The collaborative forecastprovides airline meteorologists with a best first guess atthunderstorm activity over the next two to six hours. Every few hoursthe AWC meteorologists, FAA flow control managers, and airlinemeteorologists adjust this initial forecast during a conference calland then plan accordingly.
But thunderstorms are not very predictable six hours ahead. Forstrategic decisions over the next hour, dispatchers need an accuratelook at the current situation. That's where the NCAR nowcast comesin, with its frequently updated national map of where thethunderstorms are now and where they're forecast to be in one hour.
According to the FAA, about 69% of air traffic control delays during1999 were due to weather.
The FAA's Aviation Weather Research Program sponsored NCAR'sdevelopment of the National Convective Weather Forecast. Someresearch assistance was provided by the MIT Lincoln Laboratories, NWSAviation Weather Center, and the National Severe Storms Laboratory(part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).
NCAR's primary sponsor is the National Science Foundation. NCAR ismanaged by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, aconsortium of more than 60 universities offering Ph.D.s inatmospheric and related sciences.

The Devil's Paw HTML version
Chapter 14
It was a little more than half an hour later when Julian ascended the steps of his club in
Pall Mall and asked the hall porter for letters. Except that he was a little paler than usual
and was leaning more heavily upon his stick, there was nothing about his appearance to
denote several days of intense strain. There was a shade of curiosity, mingled with
surprise, in the commissionaire's respectful greeting.
"There have been a good many enquiries for you the last few days, sir," he observed.
"I dare say," Julian replied. "I was obliged to go out of town unexpectedly."
He ran through the little pile of letters and selected a bulky envelope addressed to himself
in his own handwriting. With this he returned to the taxicab in which the Bishop and
Catherine were seated. They gazed with fascinated eyes at the packet which he was
carrying and which he at once displayed.
"You see," he remarked, as he leaned back, "there is nothing so impenetrable in the world
as a club of good standing. It beats combination safes hollow. It would have taken all
Scotland Yard to have dragged this letter from the rack."
"That is really - it?" Catherine demanded breathlessly.
"It is the packet," he assured her, "which you handed to me for safe keeping at
They drove almost in silence to the Bishop's house, where it had been arranged that
Julian should spend the night. The Bishop left the two together before the fire in his
library, while he personally superintended the arrangement of a guest room. Catherine
came over and knelt by the side of Julian's chair.
"Shall I beg forgiveness for the past," she whispered, "or may I not talk of the future, the
glorious future?"
"Is it to be glorious?" he asked a little doubtfully.
"It can be made so," she answered with fervour, "by you more than by anybody else
living. I defy you -you, `Paul Fiske - to impugn our scheme, our aims, the goal towards
which we strive. All that we needed was a leader who could lift us up above the
localness, the narrow visions of these men. They are in deadly earnest, but they can't see
far enough, and each sees along his own groove. It is true that at the end the same sun
shines, but no assembly of people can move together along a dozen different ways and
keep the same goal in view."
He touched the packet.

You are welcome!Originally Posted by polejumper21
Thank-you This is the pattern. Have a wonderful day. Nimble Thimble
I did do some ripping and rearranging on the top I've been working on because this did happen to me. I really didn't mind spending the extra time since my eye went right to those two spots. I'd like to try a scrappy one with no two fabrics just for fun, some time.Originally Posted by noveltyjunkie
I like your quilt. Your colors touching give it a personality of its own. Sometimes when the colors touch it just gives it an unappealing look but yours doesn't. I like it.Originally Posted by polejumper21
Thanks burnsk..it was fun to make and I am starting on another one this weekend..
Thanks for sharing ...am a beginner and this one seems within my scope rt now.
Yes, this is in essence the "lasagna quilt". I never made one, but my friend did and she said it was so tedious....sewing a row, cutting it off, sewing another roll.....this technique does away with all of that.....I saw it here, and my quilting ministry group did it at our annual quilt away weekend. There was some initial whining because sewing the long strips is tedious, but it gets shorter as you go along and suddenly you have a quilt top. We had 4 of us who made a second quilt top. The second time, I didn't use a jelly roll, but pulled the same amount of strips out of my leftover binding bins and put them together....it looked great! I have a 3rd and 4th quilt in me....until the binding is gone!Originally Posted by dixiechunk
There are lots of quilt stores who carry jelly rolls. Check locally. I can even get them here in small town Alberta! (Canada)Originally Posted by Maurene
I just made this quilt, but my center is much bigger than the example given here. It's 72" x 64", but it is 32 strips wide??? I was hoping it would be a bit more rectangle...what would you do to it?

Interactive Course Book CD-ROM
By David Morgan and Nicholas Regan
Category: Professional & Business English, Take-Off
Level: Pre-intermediate to upper intermediate
CEF: A2 to B2
IELTS: 3.0 to 6.5
Take-Off: Technical English for Engineering Interactive Course Book CD-ROM
Take-Off has been designed for non-native speakers of English who are studying Engineering (NVQ Level 2 and above. The aeronautical context is particularly aimed at technicians and engineers who are going on to work in the aeronautics industry.
Take-Off is an ESP course for intermediate-level students. Unlike many ESP courses, it teaches genuine transferable skills and is ideal for students who need to further their technical training in English. The focus is on skills development, using relevant contexts, with grammar taking a strong supporting role.
Reading and listening development is dealt with in the context of understanding instructions and information in technical manuals. Students develop the speaking skills of asking for and giving factual information, and the writing skills necessary to complete workplace documentation, such as accident reports and safety assessments.
Take-Off uses a communicative methodology, with graded tasks that are careful scaffolded to involve and motivate the students, providing them with a clear sense of achievement. The wide variety of texts and task types will appeal to a broad range of ages and nationalities.
The Take-Off Interactive Course Book is a digital replica of the Course Book, with the following additional features:
- Embedded audio for display using data show projector
- Easy-to-use tools - highlighter and draw tools, moveable sticky motes, stopwatch and a drag-zoom function - which enable teachers to use Course Book pages to suit individual lessons
- Additional interactive activities
A bank of tests are provided online. Please contact us if you have purchased the book and would like access to these tests.
Key Features
- Practical skills developed for dealing with oral and written instructions and documentation
- Task-based approach ensures achievable lesson outcomes
- Variety of texts and tasks on a wide range of aeronautical topics
- Two review sections to consolidate skills and vocabulary knowledge
- Glossary and electrical appendix
- Audio CDs for further self-study and homework

"Take-off: Technical English for Engineering describes itself as an ESP course for intermediate-level students. It is particularly aimed at 'technicians and engineers who are going on to work in the aeronautics industry' but would also be useful for anyone heading in the mechanical engineering direction. Students heading for civil, chemical and electrical engineering, however, may well be turned off by the aeronautical examples and the strong mechanical bias. The text is also based on the premise that English teachers may have little or no technical background knowledge of engineering, so authentic texts have been modified to make them more accessible, and tasks are designed to focus on language development, not technical understanding. As a core text for students entering the aeronautics industry it works well, having a strong practical emphasis and a clear goal of enabling students to function well in the training and work environment. Since listening is a critical skill for maintenance crew members, for example, there is a higher proportion of listening exercises than one would expect in a more general course book. The recordings introduce a number of regional English accents and some Australian and American accents, and the exercises for training students in listening strategies are well thought out. The reading and writing exercises are similarly well balanced, seeking to enable students to deal with texts that will be required in the workplace. The reading texts, for example, have a heavy focus on extracting data from dense technical texts, interpreting diagrams and labeled drawings, and working with bullet-pointed manual instructions, whilst the writing tasks include transferring data from listening text to pictures, from diagrams to instructions and filling in forms. The teacher's book and workbook are well-structured, and the teacher should be confidence that answers are comprehensively supplied, with explanation if necessary. The workbook provides welcome extra practice, and is clearly linked back to the course book. The glossary, word list and electrical symbols list at the back of the course book are a useful addition. Since we do not have students who are seeking to enter the aeronautics industry, but we do prepare students for entry into undergraduate and postgraduate engineering and physics programmes, we were interested to see whether we could use parts of this course to supplement our current texts and to expand our range of readings to suit the more technically-minded of our students. Texts of a suitable level on purely scientific matters can be difficult to find, and are a welcome addition to a portfolio of texts with an arts/commerce/environmental focus. Whilst this course is necessarily very rich in technical language, we nevertheless found a number of lessons - which were sufficiently general in terms of vocabulary to be relevant and useful to all students - on subjects such as robots, the power of water, skeletons, etc. and which could be easily exploited in the EAP classroom. All in all, whilst this text does have a limited audience, it is nevertheless one that we will find useful to keep on our shelf."- Laura Hasely, in consultation with Peter Reynolds and Dr Alison Adams, Bridging Programmes, Universi

After losing my little Sony Cybershot at CES and mourning the absence of a Smile Shutter in my life to pick up my friend's most accidentally contorted rictuses, I decided I would buy myself a Canon G10 in the hopes that it would bridge me from retarded point-and-shoot territory into the world of DSLRs.
What I've learned so far has been laughable, but I'm pleased with myself: I no longer have to smugly nod when people talk about ISO or aperture to mask my ignorance. I actually know how to manually focus a digicam now, which is leading to some more interesting photographs. And, biggest lesson of all: I've learned using the flash on a camera almost always results in photographs that just suck.
This guide to DIY Lighting Hacks for digital photographers is good fodder, then. Granted, it's mostly aimed at the DSLR crowd, but stuff like the DIY flash diffuser and party bouncer card is still stuff I could fit into my Canon G10. And if you're a more advanced photographer than me — and it's almost impossible to imagine that you aren't — there's sure to be at least a few tips here that will save you a couple bills in equipment costs.

Now that Steelmakers Australia has stopped courting
Arrium shares will trade this morning for the first time since Steelmakers Australia's announcement that it would "cease seeking engagement with the Arrium board".
Deutsche Bank analyst Emily Behncke downgraded Arrium to "sell" and said in the absence of another offer, Arrium shares should trade at about 71¢. CLSA analysts said they were worth 73¢, while Goldman Sachs was more positive at 96¢.
Steelmakers Australia's bid was made with a bearish view on the iron ore price, which has rallied recently and made its offer less attractive.
CLSA said the iron ore price rally had alleviated Arrium's risk of an equity raising that was previously priced into the stock.
"At the same time, holding ARI in expectation of an improved bid is high risk in our view in light of the lack of visible funding and the fact that the stock price is likely currently pricing in a successful outcome," CLSA said.
Deutsche Bank said Arrium's board was unlikely to entertain a price below $1.20 to $1.40 a share.

Ghana's Sports Minister backs Kwesi Appiah to lead Black Stars to success in Brazil
K. Appiah
By Patrick Akoto
Ghana's Sports minister Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah has reiterated his confidence in Kwesi Appiah to lead the Black Stars to success at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Appiah will become the first indigenous trainer to guide the Black Stars at the global piece after qualifying the side to the tournament.
However, media reports about the potential appointment of Serbian Milovan Rajevac as a backroom staff has raised several questions about Appiah's credibility to lead the team to chalk success in the South American country.
But Ghana's charismatic sports minister Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah insists his outfit will offer unflinching support to the ex-Kotoko great to deliver the ultimate in Brazil.
"I haven't met the FA President who has just returned from Zurich so I don't know if any such thing has gone on,†he told the public,†he said
"Our position is that Kwesi Appiah is the coach and the leader of the team and we're ready to support him in whatever it will take for him to deliver.
"As to who it's going to be (that will assist Kwesi Appiah in Brazil), that conversation has not come to my attention. It's only when such a conversation has come to me that I can comment on it in an informed basisâ€.
Ghana are anxious to go a step further this year after reaching the quarter-final stage at the last tournament in South African four years ago.

Suddenly for Nicolas Lapentti, the ostentation of a swish Paris hotel, just off the Rue de Rivoli, is the norm. Having leapt from 92nd to eighth in the world rankings in the space of 11 months, the 23-year-old Ecuadorean has qualified for a debut at this week's ATP Tour world championships in Hanover. Welcome to the five-star world, el niño from Guayaquil.
Suddenly for Nicolas Lapentti, the ostentation of a swish Paris hotel, just off the Rue de Rivoli, is the norm. Having leapt from 92nd to eighth in the world rankings in the space of 11 months, the 23-year-old Ecuadorean has qualified for a debut at this week's ATP Tour world championships in Hanover. Welcome to the five-star world, el niño from Guayaquil.
Since Ecuador is too far removed from the climax to the tennis season, Lapentti spent the past few days honing his game at the Roland Garros indoor facilities. Also, he concedes with a small smile as we converse in deep-carpeted, high-chandeliered splendour, he is enjoying himself. "It's a beautiful city, Paris," says the handsome, dark-haired six-footer who knows about things beautiful, having achieved the high-water mark in his sport by dating Anna Kournikova.
This has been a historic season for South America, with three men reaching the top 10 (Gustavo Kuerten of Brazil is third and Chile's Marcelo Rios ninth) for the first time since the ranking system was instituted in 1973.
Brazil and Chile are nations with other sporting distinctions but what Lapentti's emergence means to Ecuador, a nation of 13 million, was demonstrated at the Paris Open earlier this month. At the press conference following his semi-final loss to Andre Agassi, Lapentti's every comment was repeated into a mobile phone by a radio reporter to his station back in the capital, Quito.
"Right now, Nicolas is the most popular athlete in the country," said Andres Gomez, who knows a bit about Ecuador's thirst for success. When he won the French Open in 1990 and got to world No 4, Gomez was given a ticker-tape parade and went on to a party that lasted a week. Pancho Segura, the bandy-legged genius from Jack Kramer's tennis pro circus, Gomez, and the 20km walk gold medallist at the 1996 Olympics, Jefferson Perez; that was the sum total of Ecuador's sports giants until Lapentti. Their highlight as a nation remains a Davis Cup victory over the United States in 1967.
Gomez is related to the Lapentti family, being a distant cousin of Nicolas' mother, Maria-Cecilia. He has been a huge factor in the development of the youngster and, at the age of 39, is his Davis Cup doubles partner. But it was Lapentti's father, also called Nicolas, who set his son on the path, taking him to the beach as a small child to play ball with solid wood paddles. "By the time I was four I was already good and when I went to tennis for the first time at six I had the rudiments." Since tennis still tends to be sniffed at as elitist in Ecuador, where there are no public courts, Lapentti was fortunate that his father, a former national basketball player and now a politician, could afford membership for his family of five children at the Guayaquil tennis club, the place which produced Segura and Gomez.
Lapentti, a descendant of Italian immigrants called La Penta whose name was changed by his grandfather, had an outstanding junior career, culminating in victory at the Orange Bowl of 1994. Transition to the professional circuit can prove a chasm, as many in Britain will testify, but Lapentti appeared to have completed an effortless vault when, in 1995, he moved straight from winning seven out of eight events on satellite tours in Ecuador and Colombia to qualify for, and win, the ATP tournament in Bogota aged 19.
Lapentti looks back on Bogota as an unfortunate landmark. "I thought 'Oh, it's that easy is it? I don't have to work too hard because I have everything.' It took me a while to realise I needed to be more professional." Though another tournament victory eluded him, Lapentti moved into the top 100 in 1997. But by the end of last year he had slumped from a high of 55 down to 92. The local media proceeded to write him off and Lapentti thought they might be right. "They said I was maybe just another ATP Tour player. I thought: 'Nothing is happening. I am in the top 100 but I want more than that.'" On the advice of his Chilean coach, Patricio Rodriguez, Lapentti hired a fitness trainer, Carlos Aranda,and spent the Christmas period working with him.
It was a sacrifice which paid off spectacularly. Never having previously gone beyond the second round of a Grand Slam, Nicolas won successive five-set matches against three Swedes at the Australian Open and marched to the semi-finals before being brought down by another Swede, Thomas Enqvist. The 27 sets of singles and eight sets of doubles he played with Kuerten swept away any doubts over ability and durability. Having kept close to his chest the ambition to mark 1999 with a place in the top 20, Lapentti found himself inside the leading 40 after one tournament and he has been building impressively from there.
Four years after that Bogota success, the kid reared on clay won the Indianapolis hard-court title in August, then set off for the indoor season in Europe. He arrived with an indoor career record of no wins and nine losses but in the Grand Slam Cup defeated Fernando Meligeni in a 16-14 third set, the longest in pro tennis this year. Then he beat Lleyton Hewitt to win the Lyon crown and crashed the top 10 with that semi-final in Paris and the quarters in Stockholm. He has gathered more than £1m in prize money this year, won 58 of his 79 singles matches and lost in the first round once. The leap of 84 places into the top 10 is a one-year achievement second only to Agassi's rise from 122 to sixth in 1998.
His 13 indoor victories this autumn, many of them over specialists on that surface, have further boosted the confidence of a sturdy-legged athlete with the perfect physique for tennis, who has blossomed beyond recognition.
Agassi, who beat him in Paris with much difficulty, paid tribute to Lapentti's "wheels". "That's how I learned on clay, running a lot," said Nicolas, fingering the diamond stud in his left ear. "I don't have the same game as Agassi but if he has to run as much as me he will get tired, for sure." Right now, after two solid months in Europe, it is Lapentti who is tired, for sure. But before he flies back to the family home in the luxurious Guayaquil suburb of Puntilla for a break, the world championships beckon and Nicolas confesses to a "very strange feeling".
He explains: "When I was a little kid I remember watching it on TV at Madison Square Garden, watching Lendl, who was my particular idol, Becker and Edberg. Playing this tournament was only something I could dream about as a kid, so it will be very special." His impressive command of English faltering for once, Lapentti vowed, "I will fight my heart off," then added, "If you've had a great year you want to finish it well."
Then, of course, there is the 2000 season to relish. "When I was 90 in the world it would have been a bit silly of me to say I wanted to win a Grand Slam. But now, in the top 10, I have the right to say it. That is, for sure, one of my goals and maybe I can finish in the top five." Andres Gomez thinks it could be top three, eclipsing his own mark.
If that happens, Nicolas Lapentti may match the walker, Jefferson Perez, and find his face on an Ecuador postage stamp.Reuse content

I just want an open NAT so I can play some Co Op games with my friends. NAT is soo annoying.......ugggh, who created such a monstrosity. Anyway. I'm not a cpu expert to the slightest bit. I've tried this portwarding crap with my router and psn, but it did zilch.
People tell me going to wired will fix it but I cant. My PS3 is upstairs and my router is downstairs and diagnol. I can't use my PS3 on the TV nearest to the modem b/c my family uses it 24/7.
I heard of that removing my firewall or something like that will fix the problem too. But I have ZERO clue on what that is. But, it sounds to me as if it requires making my router unprotected with no password. I don't want to have to do that, I live very close to my neighbors as the homes are connected. But how do I take down this firewall? and if I want to put it back, can I easily?
What are my solutions :/

Belize's 107,000-acre Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve is home to exotic wildlife such as Cougars, Jaguars, Ocelots, Crocodiles, and many bird species. For the best chance of spotting a big cat, go on a moonlight jaguar hunt (of the non-violent kind).
The Rio On Pools are one of the best attractions in the reserve. Waterfalls flow over smooth granite, creating shallow pools perfect for sunbathing and lounging. Take the stairs down to the lower pools, or hike upstream for better views and bigger pools.
If you're interested in Mayan history, be sure to check out Barton Creek Cave. Mayan artifacts have been found all over the area, and it's believed that the Cave was a former ritual site.
Where Is it? In Southern Central Belize's Cayo District. Fly to Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport in Belize City (check prices).
Where to Stay? At the Blancaneaux Lodge, a 20-room luxury lodge on the banks of the Privassion Creek.
What Else Should I Know? The rainy season, which runs from July to February, is not the best time to visit.
Who's it for? Wildlife spotters, Mayan fans, hikers.

Get a higher end video card with whatever system you decide to buy and windows 7 64 bit with 8gb of memory.
Before you buy, run the Windows 7 upgrade advisor on your current system and see what it says about your application programs. When the analysis is done then you'll see twoTABS at the top. One is for 32 bit and the other for 64 bit. Since you are planning to buy a new system then ignore the hardware and driver issues. Just review the applications.
Look at the HP HPE-180t as it has the blu-ray writer. Start with the base configuratiion and add the upgrades you desire.

If you had to make the choice between French Doors and a sliding patio door, and you knew either one would work perfectly well for your space, which would you choose???
Lets say they are both the same price, same efficiency level, same color, and same "R" value.
One of THESE...
From fixthehome.com
From Window World
Image From Acanthus and Acorn
From the Laurel Hedge
OR one of THESE...
From rusco windows and doors
From Brenewalby
From archiexpo
Which one would make you feel more glamorous?
My husband would ask, "CAN doors really make you feel glamorous?"
Answer: ABSOLUTELY!!! Duh!
It's the same feeling of luxury as when you walk on hardwood floors with your favorite heels on. Nothing makes that same sound of power and solidity. Everyone recognizes that sound, and no matter who is walking in those heels, they become the sound of authority. See how much can be associated with just a common sound?
Now how much can be associated with the feel of opening a door? Well, if am to believe that my home is a castle, and I do, all 1400 square feet of it, then would I SLIDE the doors open? Or swing the doors open? Which one sounds more like a castle?
Made your decision yet?
Well I did, and I won!! In case you didn't already guess, French Doors get my vote.
If I didn't win because of this solid argument, then it was because of the little performance I put on at the store, as I demonstrated how fabulous it feels to open French doors.
Yep. I was the crazy lady at the store swinging open the doors and dancing through them as if I was in this movie...
Not that I have anything against sliding doors, they just don't bake my muffins if you get what I'm sayin :)
Hope you're all getting a great start to your week!

Oil descends on profit-taking as traders eye US stockpile data
On Tuesday, during Asia trade crude futures slipped, traders took profits after prices surged more than 3% in the previous trading session.
American West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 38 cents, hitting $45.55 per, having risen 3.3% in the previous session. Brent crude futures lost 43 cents, trading at $46.91 a barrel, having closed up 3.2%.
The evergreen buck was also applying pressure on prices having soared against a basket of key currencies, while a Reuters survey revealed a build in American crude stockpiles the previous week.
Major crude producers are going to gather in Algeria for a three-day meeting, which could see moves to drop or freeze crude output in an effort to support crude prices.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries as well as other crude producers led by Russia are gathering informally on the sidelines of the International Energy Forum from September 26-28 in Algeria.
However, markets are quite skeptical that crude producers would reach a deal.

Choosing your Venue
Decisions, decisions, decisions...
I'm in the process of visiting venues and weighing the pros and cons. I swear if it isn't one thing, it's another.
PW, theKnot, and weddingwire have all been helpful in locating some beautiful places, but something has been lacking in all the venues I've went to thus far.
I believe this wknd, my FI and I will cross some more off the list and get back to the drawing board. It's becoming frustrating but I do feel like we are getting close.
There is only 1 place I visited and absolutely loved but it was WAY out of the budget. and I'm still thinking how I can make it work once I reach out to the planner. I can have the gift of gab at times lol...at least I like to think so.
Anyway, how did you know your venue was THEE venue? What did you settle for and what were you not willing to budge on?
A sml part of me has wondered if I'm missing out b/c of something I don't like...i.e an ugly carpet that some of these places have.

Is Lucic really up to full speed?
|02.27.10 at 12:42 pm ET
WILMINGTON — With 22 games left and a playoff spot up for grabs, the Bruins would like to know that they finally have everyone on their roster healthy and ready to contribute to the grind.
For Milan Lucic, that may not exactly be the case.
The Bruins were running 2-on-1 drills midway through practice on Saturday. Lucic was paired with Michael Ryder who backhanded a pass from behind the baseline that deflected off of the blade of Lucic's skate. It must have buzzed through his bad ankle and his leg because the hulking left winger winced momentarily before resuming his spot in the drill.
"It was all good," Lucic said. "That type of stuff happens all the time. It feels good, better since before the break. That is what is seems what the break was good for."
Lucic still keeps the ankle pretty heavily taped but says that it is a precautionary measure.
"You kind of have to because it is so easy to re-injure that you want to be safe," Lucic said. "I don't like being taped before every game and every practice. It is a little different, a little annoying but it is something that you got to do to get through this."
Coach Claude Julien more or less agreed with his forward and said that if Lucic thinks he is fine, Julien is not going to second-guess him.
"You have to take his word for what he is saying," Julien said. "I am not going to second-guess him but an ankle injury is an ankle injury. Those things don't totally disappear but I haven't heard him complain about it and it is effecting him. Our trainers seem to think he is good. I think what you are seeing is more of a guy who has had so many setbacks this year that it is going to take him a while to catch up. I think that is what we talked about when he came back."
Baseball players will tell you that wrist injuries are some of the hardest to really recover from because they tend to linger. Baseball players use their wrists for just about everything they do and every year you will see a plethora of hamate bone breaks and sheath tendon tears (Dustin Pedroia had the former, David Ortiz the latter). In hockey, the ankle is a similar type of malignant injury because it is hard to come back from considering all the stopping and starting skating requires.
The Bruins company line right now is that Lucic's ankle is fine, yet it is easy to wonder how fine it actually is. Even after the initial buzz from Ryder's pass that Lucic said "happens all the time" he still looked like he may have been favoring it at the end of the practice, especially after a puck battle drill in center ice. The battle went back and forth (kind of a "keep away" type of drill) and the pair broke towards the goal and Lucic slipped in the offensive zone. He came up wincing after and did not look like he wanted to put too much weight on the ankle.
No matter how well the ankle is actually feeling, do not look for the young wingman to miss any time unless another dramatic injury occurs. For now the ankle is well enough to play on and Lucic do so, no matter if it is slowing him down or not.
— The practice lines were the same they have been the last two days.
Saturday participation by sweater color:
White — Daniel Paille, Marc Savard, Mark Recchi
Grey — Blake Wheeler, Vladimir Sobotka, Michael Ryder
Red — Byron Bitz, Steve Begin, Lucic, Shawn Thornton
Defensemen — Dennis Wideman, Andrew Ference, Mark Stuart, Matt Hunwick, Derek Morris, Johnny Boychuk
Goaltenders — Tuukka Rask, Matt Dalton
