Liberty Media investors could get a gift this holiday season that instills more than good cheer: the spinoff of Starz. The premium cable channel is one of the most valuable assets owned by Liberty (ticker: LMCA), the Englewood, Colo.-based holding company led by media maestro John Malone, who aims to complete the transaction by year end. Starz's valuation and growth prospects could improve significantly once it becomes a separate public entity. The spinoff also could unlock value at Liberty.
Spearheaded by the popularity of Spartacus, a television series about Roman gladiators, Starz increased its subscriber rolls by 9% in the latest quarter, to a record 20.8 million. Starz is worth an estimated $3 billion, or about $22 per Liberty share, a value that isn't reflected in the parent's $108-per-share stock price.
Liberty trades at a big discount to the estimated value of its portfolio of assets. That discrepancy could mean opportunity in coming months, as the company adds to some holdings and spins off others, beginning with Starz. Liberty management expects a $1.8 billion cash dividend from the spinoff, which could be used to boost other assets.
Barry Konig, a portfolio manager at Cumberland Associates, and his partner Andrew Wallach have been investing in Malone's companies for 15 years. Konig thinks the stock is worth $130 on a sum-of-the-parts basis. "We know him, like him, and trust him," he says.
Canaccord's Thomas Eagan puts the value at $125 (see table below), 16% above the current quote.

Liberty saved Sirius from a bankruptcy filing in 2009 with a $530 million loan, and received a 40% stake in return. That has grown to 49.8%, or more than $8 billion, exceeding 60% of Liberty's market value. Analysts figure Sirius is worth more than $70 per Liberty share.
A bet on Liberty in effect is a bet on Sirius, whose prospects are attractive. Barton Crockett, an analyst at Lazard Capital Markets, sees Sirius' market penetration and profit growing sharply in the next few years, as the number of cars with Sirius radio climbs to 150 million from 50 million now. Sirius shares are up 51% this year, to $2.74. Crockett thinks the stock could hit $3.50 in a year.
Liberty is awaiting regulatory approval to take full control of Sirius, which could come this year or early in 2013. It's likely to spin off Sirius, perhaps as early as next year.
LIBERTY SHAREHOLDER Ian Shaffer of Galliant Capital Management in Montreal thinks Liberty Media's shares will trade up as the company gets closer to attaining 100% of Sirius. Investors, he notes, could end up owning shares in three separate companies—Starz, Sirius and Liberty. As spinoffs increase the transparency of all three, investors are likely to accord each a higher valuation. Until then, Liberty shares are likely to sell well below net asset value because the market typically discounts holding companies, given the difficulty in assessing their varied assets.
The Bottom Line
Liberty has been penalized by Wall Street for its holding-company structure, which makes it hard to tease out asset value. Shares trade for $108 but could be worth $130.
Fueled by gains in Sirius and Barnes & Noble, Liberty Media's shares hit a 52-week high of $116 early last month and are up 38% for the year. Shares took a hit recently when the company reported mixed results for the third quarter, with revenue rising 3%, to $555 million, while operating income was flat at $111 million. For the full year, analysts expect the company to earn $940 million, or $6.91 a share. But earnings aren't the point with Malone, who for decades has structured his companies and deals to avoid taxes, making money for shareholders every step of the way.
Says Andrew Weitz of Weitz Funds, which owns several Malone-related vehicles, Liberty is best viewed as a "public private-equity fund" led by managers with a "fantastic" track record. Investing alongside them could yield handsome results once again.

The club
What heaven sounds like
"Is this the moment? Beckham, into Sheringham - and Solskjaer! Has won it! Manchester United have reached the promised land"
stoppage time v Bayern Munich, European Cup final, 1999
Then and now
1878: Workers at Newton Heath's railway yard set up matches against other railways. 2008: A £200m first-team squad, 16,000 square-foot megastore in Macau and Jim'll Fix It winner John O'Shea.
The credit cruncher
Reclusive sideburn-cultivator Malcolm Glazer, the leprechaun lookalike, must hope a pot of gold is at the end of the rainbow. Has saddled the club with a £666m debt but nobody seems to mind these days because they are doing League and European Cup doubles and the like.
Their prospects
The breaking-up of the Fergoz partnership is a concern, but the key to last season's success - the defence - is intact. And Wayne Rooney should smoke more than just killer sticks this term. A lack of goals from central midfield (eight last season) and a paucity of cover in defence and attack are potential weaknesses.
Mission for Doctor Who
Go to April 2001. Just as Royston Keane is about to take a shortcut through Alf Inge Haaland's shin, tell him that Triggs urgently needs a walk and cart him forward to 2008. And tell him prawn sandwiches have been banned by the state.
See the ground on Google Earth
Search "Old Trafford" and scroll left a bit. The quadrants at either end of the North Stand have since been raised. To the north, the ship canal, to the south the (original) Old Trafford, home of Lancashire.
The players
International game
A strong British core but the Portuguese-speaking contingent of Nani, Ronaldo and Anderson are the dressing-room pranksters and, if an end-of-season video is to be believed, find Rio Ferdinand's wobbly lips utterly hilarious.
Fab enough for Fabio
Ben Foster, who last smiled in 1987, might be the best keeper in the country but only the second-best at his club. He has more chance of an England call-up than Michael Carrick. But then so does Richard Keys.
Breaking through
According to his birth certificate, the languid forward Danny Wellbeck was born after Ferguson won his first United trophy. Fergie has likened Wellbeck to Kanu, which may mean he was really born before his boss won a trophy playing for Rangers.
United's got talent
Carlos Tevez is the frontman in Piola Vago, a shantytown cumbia combo. In lieu of a clue as to what she's talking about, Amanda Holden would probably describe them as "kooky little Brazilians".
Who'll give 110%
The underrated Park Ji-sung is so fit and diligent that he apparently once ran round the block for 44 days solid before his concerned family staged an intervention.
Who'll give 1,000%
If Cristiano Ronaldo can extricate himself from the shackles of slavery - and the silver hotpants he wore in LA - he'll offer the usual mix of exceptional and execrable.
Story of the summer
Ronaldo loses reality's contact details ... Rooney gets wed and proves that smoking doesn't always make you lose weight ... Gary Neville sits on the tactics sofa with Andy Townsend and lives to tell the tale.
The manager
Sir Alex Ferguson
Here are your best bits
Forty-two trophies, easing Liverpool off their perch and, of course, 1999's big achievement: the Mussabini Medal.
His tactics board says
"Wait, wait, wait. Reel them in then sucker punch the old men on the counter. Works every time." Played an ultra-fluid 4-6-0 last year but may revert to 4-4-1-1 now that Carlos Queiroz has gone.
His Post-It notes say
"Tell Garth the answer is still no" ... "Send Saga catalogue to Luiz Felipe" ... "Remember: press boys due a blasting"
New face
Pedro Atlético, Undisclosed
The tall Angolan was signed last December but loaned to Panathinaikos, where he scored on his debut. Now back at Old Trafford, he should be a valuable option off the bench. Once he recovers from the obligatory metatarsal injury.
Last season

Giant Schnauzer
Powerful, dominant hound with a thick, wiry coat that makes it ideal for all seasons. Responds well to a consistent and firm handler, but also known to be good with youth. Best not to rub it up the wrong way. No stranger to trophies: won the big prize at last year's most prestigious dog show.

Micro Center Vs. C300 Direct Comparision 12/05/2010
This review is from: Crucial RealSSD C300 1.8" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CTFDDAA064MAG-1G1
Fast So far - See Other thoughts
For my first PC build in 20+ years (last was an 80486 :) I got everything from NewEgg except a hard drive. To build it this weekend I was forced to go to a local chain store to get a respected $99 /64G house brand SATA 2 SSD.
After assembling the new rig (I7-950:) I did a fresh Win 7 / 64 install then patched / tweaked everything to SSD standards. Life was good
After doing some more reading and really wanting a SATA 3 drive I decided to try the C300 today.
Before I swapped the SSD's I did some benchmarking (results below) and yes it blows away the HOT Sanforce controller in the house brand drive in all but the critical 4k tests.
So far So good. SATA 3 rocks. NewEgg Rocks.
I may have misread another users comment and thought drive clone and cables were included with the C300/64 GB but i think i was wrong and those only come with the 256 SSD.
I used the free Snapshot Disk Imaging software to clone the drive with little issues.

Portable Speakers Review
Why Get a Portable Speaker?
The top performers in our review are the JBL Pulse 2, the Gold Award winner; the UE BOOM 2, the Silver Award winner; and the Bose SoundLink Mini II, the Bronze Award winner. Here's more on choosing a product to meet your needs, along with detail on how we arrived at our ranking of the top 10 speakers.
Back in the 1980s and early 1990s, portable speakers were called boomboxes. They played cassettes or CDs and were large, often heavy devices that resembled three cinder blocks cemented together. Nevertheless, these boomboxes were portable. They had handles and took batteries or plugged into an outlet. Boomboxes allowed people to take their music into the street, onto the playground and into the park. This was a time when break dancers spun about on cardboard while someone off to the side held a boombox on their shoulder.
However, the popularity of the boombox declined as the preferred music format shifted from CDs to MP3s and other digital audio. With the new format, your entire music library could fit on a device that slipped easily into your pocket. Boomboxes still existed with ports for these MP3 players, but they weren't nearly as popular. The ports for the MP3 players were rarely practical enough for the speaker to be very portable. In addition, few people wanted to haul these large speakers on their shoulders.
As smartphones became common, so did the wireless connectivity of Bluetooth, and with Bluetooth came the ability to play music from your phone on Bluetooth-compatible speakers. Still, for many years, portable speakers were something of a novelty with only a few quality manufacturers taking the market seriously, partly because the Bluetooth streaming capabilities weren't very good. However, as music streaming apps have become mainstream, overtaking the digital format as the preferred way to listen to music, and as Bluetooth's audio streaming algorithms have improved, portable speakers have returned to the mainstream. Only these portable speakers are nothing like the large cinder block suitcases of the '80s and '90s.
These portable speakers are generally small enough to fit into a backpack and often weigh less than a pound. Many of these speakers take the term "portable" very seriously. They can be water, dust and impact resistant, and you can get straps and mounts for some of these portable speakers that allow you to take them biking, skiing, surfing and more.
There are several types of portable speakers. Depending on your needs and preferences, you can find one that works for you. However, we considered all types of portable speakers for our comparison. We viewed the speakers' audio performance as the main factor in our ranking of products.
Mini Portable Speakers: The Smaller, the Better
The best portable speakers are small and light enough to take everywhere you go. As mentioned earlier, modern portable speakers aren't the cinder-block boomboxes of old, which you had to rest on your shoulder. Today, the best portable speakers are no bigger than a brick. Many are even smaller. This makes it easy to throw them into a bag or backpack and go on your way.
Most portable speakers weigh around 0.7 pounds. However, their small size doesn't necessarily result in small sound. For example, at just 1.8 inches tall and 7.5 inches long, the Beats Pill is the smallest portable speaker that made our lineup. In fact, it's so small you can slip it into your pocket. Still, this tiny device reached a max volume of 97.7 dB in our tests, which is easily loud enough to fill a large room with your favorite tunes or provide a soundtrack by the pool.
Waterproof Portable Speakers: Surviving the Elements
Some speakers in our review are portable beyond being a small, handheld device. Many portable speakers on the market today are designed to handle water, mud, drops, spills and dirt. They are meant to be taken in the great outdoors. You can mount these speakers to your ski pole or surfboard and take them on the ride with you.
For example, both the UE BOOM and the UE ROLL are IPX7 rated. This rating means they can play music while submerged under a meter of water for up to 30 minutes. The UE ROLL even comes with a bungee you can tie to things like your swimsuit, backpack or bike. You can also use these speakers in the shower.
The Altec BoomJacket is another rugged portable speaker capable of surviving the elements. With an IPX67 dust- and water-resistance rating, the BoomJacket can withstand being submerged in a meter of water for up to 30 minutes, and the casing is dust tight. This means you can drop it in the mud and wash it off in the lake, and it will still play your favorite music. When it comes to durable outdoor speakers, it's among the best available.
Other Speaker Options
Not all wireless speakers are small devices that rely on the relatively narrow bandwidth of Bluetooth for streaming audio. If you're looking for something with greater fidelity and volume, you should check out our review of Wi-Fi speakers. These speakers stream music using your wireless internet. They aren't generally designed to be portable, but the sound quality is ideal for people who value high-quality audio in their homes.
Portable Speakers: What We Tested, What We Found
When purchasing a speaker of any kind, the audio quality is paramount. It doesn't matter how flashy it looks or how small or big or loud or durable the speaker is if the audio quality isn't very good. As such, audio quality was the most important feature we tested in our review. After audio performance, the speaker's battery life is the next consideration. The best portable speakers don't require charging very often and offer many hours of airplay between charges.
Sound Quality
It's important to note that audio quality is largely a subjective benchmark. Objectively, speakers move air to create frequencies that we can hear, and those frequencies can be measured for accuracy. That said, not only does every person have unique hearing abilities, but the listening environment can also affect audio quality. A portable speaker will sound different in a bedroom than out by a campfire, for better or for worse. This is because of the way the sound frequencies bounce off objects, like ripples in a pond.
To evaluate audio quality, we connected all of the speakers to a switcher, which is a device that allows us to play music from a single source and switch the audio from one speaker to another. Doing this provided an easy side-by-side comparison of audio quality.
We matched each device's volume so louder speakers weren't mistaken for having better audio quality. After equalizing the volume, we blindfolded reviewers and had them rate each speaker's audio quality as we played music pulled from a wide variety of genres. Each reviewer rated the audio performance based on overall sound quality, bass response and vocal clarity. We then collated their responses, averaged the data and graded the results to reflect the comparison.
Maximum Volume
Loud doesn't always mean good. In fact, at high volumes, you typically hear more distortion – though not the good kind of distortion common with certain music genres. That said, higher volumes allow you to fill up more space with music. Louder speakers are better for the outdoors, and some people prefer their music turned up all the way regardless.
Testing maximum volume is fairly simple. We turned each portable speaker's volume to its highest setting and then measured the volume using a sound decibel meter held 1 meter away. Most speakers in our test maxed out at about 97 dB, which is about as loud as a hand drill and just a little quieter than standing about 300 yards from a jet plane taking off. This is loud enough to cause hearing damage when exposed to it for long periods.
Battery Life
Second only to audio quality, battery life is an important consideration with a portable speaker. A long battery life means more uninterrupted music, which equates to more fun and more entertainment. According to manufacturer specifications, a speaker's battery life can range between seven and 40 hours. This could mean the difference between a few hours of music on a campout or having music on the entire trip.
To test this, we started by ensuring each speaker's battery was fully charged. We then set up a GoPro camera in the Purch Labs Audio Visual room. The speakers were arranged such that their battery indicator lights were clearly visible to the camera, and we set the camera to take pictures every two minutes. We played music through the speakers at medium volume until their batteries died, and the camera allowed us to pinpoint when the battery died to within a few minutes.
We opted not to use a Bluetooth connection to stream music during this test because we needed a reliable signal throughout the entire process. Instead, we connected the speakers to an iPad using several splitters and wired connections. Still, it's important to note that using Bluetooth generally requires more from the speaker's battery than a wired connection. It's also important to note that there isn't a standardized way of testing batteries in the portable speaker industry, so manufacturers can bolster their battery life specifications based on their own tests, which you can bet are performed under ideal circumstances. For the sake of our review, our results are comparative – tested under the same circumstances and in the same environment.
Once the battery drained, we performed the test in reverse to see how long it took to fully charge the battery. Most of the portable speakers fully recharged in two to three hours, though some took as long as four hours. After the batteries recharged, we ran the battery life test again to see if the first results could be replicated. In almost every case, a significant amount of battery life was lost on the second test.
For example, the Altec Lansing BoomJacket had a 36-hour battery life in the first test, but the battery life dipped to 22 hours and 33 minutes in the second test. The best explanation for this is the fact that rechargeable batteries degrade a little every time you drain and recharge them, which results in a loss of battery life over time. Some simply degrade faster than others.
Bluetooth Speakers: Our Verdict and Recommendations
The JBL Pulse 2 earned our Top Ten Reviews Gold Award for best portable speaker. Not only does this speaker have fantastic bass and an output capable of filling a large room, but it's also the only speaker that received an A in every audio quality category. This speaker also has a good battery life, lasting over 18 hours on the first test and 17 hours on the second, which was well above the 10-hour specification provided by the manufacturer. While this speaker doesn't have the durability features of other portable speakers, the casing displays a light show to enhance your listening experience.
The Silver Award was given to the UE BOOM 2. This portable speaker does a little bit of everything. The audio quality isn't superb, but it's above average. It has an IPX7 waterproof rating, which means you can fully submerge it under 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Also, the battery life is excellent, lasting up to 22 hours in our tests.
The Bose SoundLink Mini II received our Top Ten Reviews Bronze Award. This speaker was among the most loved in our blindfolded listening tests. The battery life exceeded the manufacturer's specifications by several hours. However, this isn't a speaker designed to handle the elements, which limits its portability.
Portable speakers are no longer a novelty item with poor audio quality. They not only provide excellent audio, but many can also handle whatever you throw at them. With a portable speaker, there's no reason why you can't have your own soundtrack. To learn more, read our articles about portable speakers and other electronics.

Something to Call My Own
I really can't think of any other feeling that compares to that of writing something new.
I write for many reasons, as I'm sure we all do. However, for me, the idea that I can pull any number of thousands of words from my mind and place them together like a puzzle to end up with something that has never existed before is truly awesome.
Just knowing that I've created something new is reason enough; if what I've created, however, means anything to someone else or affects others in any way, well, that's really just icing on the cake; but mainly, I write for myself.
I don't think anyone can deny that feeling of pure accomplishment after writing something that you are proud of. It has nothing to do with ego, its simply an undeniable feeling of 'Yes! I've done it!"
My life, thus far, isn't full of great accomplishments. I'm not good at sports, I couldn't draw to save my life, and I've never really done anything of any noteworthy significance. But I can write.
My writing is my accomplishment. And everytime I do it, I'm reminded of that. Everytime a friend or family member asks me how the writing process is going, or when they'll be able to read my book, I know why I do it. Even those stubborn writer's block moments, or those 'middle of the night' moments, jumping out of bed to scrawl something on a notepad (I now keep one on my night-table) or the times when hours are spent looking for just the right word...I know all of that is totally worth it. Because at the end, when I read what I've written, I get to be proud that it's mine.
But that's me; why do you write?

Where I stayed
Tony's lovely house!
What I did
An Elevator in a Mountain!
We met Tony on our flight from Auckland to Brisbane, back in August, when we headed from French Polynesia to family in Brisbane. Tony is a 60+ men who has a son living in Brisbane and his daughter in Palmerston North, back then he was flying for the first time in his live. Pretty good of you, tony! As he was sitting next to Maria, she helped him sorting out with all the buttons and inflight information. During the flight we were chatting with him and telling about our journey so far
As we now reached Whanganui, it was time to meet him again. We already informed him a few days ago, about our plans and our plan to visit him. Tony was really happy to have us over and so it happened that we arrived on a rainy Sunday afternoon at his place. A warm bed in a warm – open fire – house instead of a 5 millimeter iso-mattress and a sleeping bag in a tent is what we really enjoyed considering the weather outside! We chatted all evening over a delicious dinner – Barbeque (on his self-made grill) about his trip in Australia and our journey so far! Tony had enjoyed the flight so much back in august that he is now considering what his next destination would be, isn't that great??!! We also got the change to do our laundry and dry it at the fire place!
The next morning, it still rains, rains, rains,…….. Tony offered us an extra day! Yeag, we would love to do that! Rain and camping in New Zealand is not always a good option so we are glad with this extra day. We even made it to the tower from where you had a perfect 360 degree view over Whanganui and its surroundings. Maria decided to bake some Dutch pastries – the Appelflap
From Whanganui, we are now driving to Palmerston North (North, because in the south you have the real Palmerston) to collect our Lord of the Ring location guide. With this book, you can find almost every place/scene where the trilogy has been shot. As we are also on our way to the national park of the Pitangirou Pinnacles – on the south shores of the northern island – we found this place also in the location guide where the scene "riding through the valley of the death" was taken. So it is true, you can find almost every location. Although some locations are difficult to reach therefore they are only accessible by helicopter.
So the Pinnacles, what does that mean? Well, we did not know to expect but as we were making our way up to the lookout on this area, it became clear
After a long cold and wet night – really Tony, your place was much better – we quickly put down our tent and drank a warm cup of coffee (made on our (n)ever lasting gas burner). Today, we have to drop off our great Daihatsu Sirion in Wellington. Before doing so, we had a list about what to do. First we would drop off our luggage in our hostel – hostel Cambridge – for tonight and then onwards to the studios of Weta Caves.
To read more about the Weta Caves – and you will – wait for our next entry as we reveal the secrets of the Lord of the Rings and more Hobbits!

Black goo on passenger floor?
Has anyone had black goo/sealant drip down on their passenger floor? There was also a small piece of carpet that came with it. It is right under the glove box/HVAC box.
I think you've been slimed!
Maybe a crack in your heater core housing behind the dash. Can you get up under there with a flashlight and inspect it?
These AC systems (2009) originally came with some insulation that was glued onto the housing on the passenger side. When it got hot (closed cab in the summer) the insulation would keep falling down and the glue drip so they just removed it
I think there was an RRT about this, the dealer was to take the insulation off and clean the glue off the housing. They did this to mine.
Mine does that too
Mine keeps coming off. Wonder what I could use to clean the black stuff off of the housing. I love my truck but there have been some nagging issues with it including this one, the 3rd brake light leaking and the ambient temperature sensor having to be replaced and reprogrammed several times.

Program 1
Visions of a Betterr World Conference
Organized by SUN affiliate the Taskforce for Humanity Coalition
The Conference will be held on October 10, 2009 at Seton Hall University Jubilee Hall 10am-5pm.
The purpose of this conference is to inspire a humanitarian consciousness. to motivate people to make a personal contribution to creating a better, more compassionate world. We wish to demonstrate, using creative, dynamic and compelling techniques various ways, many of them simple each individual or group of individuals can make a difference. We will accomplish this goal with 6 types of programs that aim to:
Change Mental Attitudes
In order to make a difference, we have to believe we can do it. We must change our innate belief systems regarding our ability to effect change as well as our attitudes toward our planet, animal life and our fellow human beings.
Often, people need to be educated either to invoke their compassion, or to show why it is in their best interests to engage in certain behaviors. Once they receive the facts, they are likely to become more motivated to change.
These include practical activities, many of them simple, that people can do that if done in large enough numbers, can make a difference.
We live in a busy, stress-filled world. It will be difficult to have the energy to contribute to world betterment if we do not have adequate ways ofrelieving stress and maintaining our health.
In order to create lasting impact our values as a society have to change from that of a material, consumerism to one that values compassion, inclusiveness, Goodwill and a humanitarian consciousness.
Spirituality provides meaning and purpose to approximately 95% of the World's population. For many, it provides the foundation upon which they base their lives. Spirituality uplifts and provides an ideal toward which to work and is crucial to creating a better, more compassionate world.

Our SDK SP1 can be found up on the insider site in the Developer's Corner, on the Downloads page and at the Microsoft Download Center. It contains a full set of tools for Gmax (including some new scripts, the updated attach point tool and animation manager and the LOD and name tool), as well as a bunch of updates and fixes for 3d Studio Max, sample files that actually work for both (including scenery, aircraft, animation, skinning, materials, etc.) and a whole mess of new documentation.
A quick note about setup: read the documentation. Everything is set up very differently from how it's been in the past. You shouldn't need to move anything around anymore. It should all work where it is installed if Max and Gmax are setup properly. This is because of all the new dependencies on files like the modeldef.xml file and the new FS Tools menu. So if you're getting missing script errors, read the setup documentation, it will explain where to point the plug-in path for Max and Gmax.
Hope you enjoy, and now we'll get to work on SP2. 😉

Team with Miss Teen Kamloops
Vahnessa Espig, Miss Teen Kamloops - World 2011, dropped by for an intimate chat and Victorian style Mother's Day tea at the Kamloops Museum & Archives.
About Miss Kamloops
She is not only beautiful, she is also uncommonly engaging. Possessing a natural charm, it is easy to see how this locally born and raised 19 year old became crowned Miss Teen Kamloops - World 2011. What is most striking is her passion for social justice, particularly on behalf of women.
Vahnessa's journey began while attending South Kamloops Secondary School participating in school clubs where after following up on an English research project, she created a campaign to raise awareness on the issue of human trafficking called, Stop Sex Trafficking: Innocence Is Not For Sale.
Fellow students were quick to respond and embrace the cause, asssiting Vahnessa by donating their time and effort to increase awareness and raise funding. The campaign was very successful and continues on to this day.
Vahnessa possesses a winning spirit, likely fostered through nearly a decade of competitive swimming with the Kamloops Classics and Tsunami swim clubs. She still holds the Tsunami club record for the 50m Butterfly race. She graduated high school with district honours and now attends the University of British Columbia. Currently, she is in her second year of Arts, majoring (not surprisingly) in Political Science.
Vahnessa volunteers with Canada Fights Human Trafficking and Women In Leadership. Her ultimate goal is to become a lawyer to improve human rights, here in Canada, as well as abroad. She maintains her high performance schedule with regular workouts at the gym and swimming.
Vahnessa is setting her sights on the Miss Teen Canada - World title.

Chargers Win...Is That All You Should Ask For?
Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm the one who is in the wrong because I expect so much more from this team. I mean, the Chargers won Sunday, 29-24. That should be good enough, shouldn't it? Shouldn't it?
Coming into this season, I never would have imagined this team would be 4-1 at their bye week. Scratch that. I imagined it, kind of like I imagine world peace or steak and lobster dinners that pay you to eat it. Never gonna happen. Regardless of what they should or shouldn't do, early season success is not the Chargers' style. I became used to their stumbling and bumbling to a 2-3 record. Stumbling and bumbling to a winning record? I'm just not sure what to do with that.
The Chargers sit at the top of the AFC West, and you can't take that away from them. Beyond that, I don't know what to say.
Optimistically, there is still time for the defense to gel and become a more consistent unit. And many of the injuries that have plagued the Chargers early could be healed in the coming weeks.
The pessimist in me can't get past the 4-15 record of the opponents they have beaten this year, a stat that is meaningful only because the Chargers had such difficulty in beating those bad teams.
One quick stat that sums up my concern for the Chargers at this point in the season. The Chargers scored 6.25 more points (on average) than their 4-15 opponents in their four wins. They are scored less than a touchdown more per game than these bad teams, who all rank in the bottom half of the league in total offense and rank 15th or worse in scoring.
Blame it on injuries. Blame it on new faces. Blame it on bad coaching. Whatever the problem is, things are going to get a lot harder following the bye week.
On to the good and bad of Sunday's win:
Ryan Mathews- With 125-yards rushing, he is living up to his first-round-pick billing, a complete back who can run it inside or out, and who is dangerous on the ground or catching it out of the backfield. And I think his best is yet to come. Even better, the offense combined for over 200-yards rushing on the day.
Jacob Hester- Due to the fact that the Chargers carry fewer running backs/fullbacks on the active roster on game day than almost every other team in the NFL, the Chargers fullback had to carry the load after injuries to Mathews and Mike Tolbert, with their starting tightend filling in at fullback. And Hester stepped up to the challenge. He got yards when they needed them, and most importantly, he held on to the ball. And I hope he never has to do it again.
Nick Novak- 5-5 on field goals, with a strong leg on kickoff. Nate Kaeding is already brushing off his resume.
Donald Butler- Four tackles and an interception, and another consistently solid performance. The front seven did not do much this game, but Butler has more than proven has value as a former third-round pick.
Five Sacks- And here I thought this offensive line was better at pass-protection. Sure, that is a problem shared with your tightends and running backs, but together they have to be better. You can't beat your tougher opponents with the pass protection we saw on Sunday.
Front Seven Defense- The Chargers had zero sacks. That sucks. Worse, the front seven gave up almost eight yards per carry to Broncos running back Willis McGahee. That's embarrassing.
Red Zone Offense- Four of Novak's five field goal came with the ball in the red zone. On only one drive did the Chargers throw the ball more than they ran it when within 20-yards of the end zone in Denver. That's nothing new- opposing defenses know as well as you and I do that Norv prefers to run when he gets close to the goal line. Injuries don't help, but perhaps that predictable play calling is why they have become a red zone disaster this year?
Lot of questions to be answered in the next two weeks. Can the Chargers get healthy? Can they play better, regardless of who is healthy? Do they have enough to beat the likes of the Packers, Lions, Bills, and Raiders? Share your thoughts below!

Study objectives: To determine the causes of death in
patients dying within 30 days after lung transplantation at the
University of Florida, to assess the importance of several diagnostic
modalities for determining the causes of their decline, and to
construct an algorithm for the evaluation of patients with severe
respiratory compromise occurring early after lung transplantation.
Design: Retrospective review of medical records and
pathology slides from all patients dying within 30 days after lung
transplantation, and biopsy specimen diagnoses from all lung allograft
recipients at the University of Florida.
Nine deaths occurred during the first 30 days after transplantation
among 117 patients undergoing 123 isolated lung transplantation
Results: Infections accounted for the
greatest number of deaths (bacterial pneumonia, four patients;
catheter-related bacteremia, one patient). Persistent pneumonia
confirmed by biopsy specimen was usually accompanied by histologic
manifestations of acute cellular rejection and was associated with poor
patient outcome (ie, death or subsequent development of
bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome). In two patients, antibody-mediated
rejection either was the immediate cause of death (hyperacute
rejection, one patient) or preceded a fatal case of pneumonia
(accelerated antibody-mediated rejection, one patient). Other causes of
death included hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy secondary to an
intraoperative cardiac arrest (one patient), pulmonary venous
thrombosis with bacterial colonization of the thrombotic material (one
patient), and ischemic reperfusion injury (one patient). In most
patients, more than one type of diagnostic technique was needed to
ascertain the cause of the catastrophic decline.
Conclusions: The causes of early posttransplant death in
our patient group included infections, antibody-mediated rejection,
hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy secondary to cardiac arrest, pulmonary
venous thrombosis, and ischemic reperfusion injury. Because these
processes often demonstrate overlapping clinical and morphologic
features requiring multiple diagnostic techniques for resolution, a
systematic multimodality approach to diagnosis is advantageous for
determining the causes of decline in individual patients and for
estimating the incidences of the different causes of early graft and
patient loss in the lung transplant population.

Chapter 2: One or the OtherMature
Narrator: Leslie Defiere
I was letting myself be flooded with many a condolences, half of which would be given by people close to strangers, therefore without sincerity. This society of manners made it an obligation for one to offer their sympathy. It annoyed me immensely, and I hid behind my squeaky locker door.
"Oh, Leslie, I'm so sorry. How are you? You look just the same – even better than usual!" Jamean said much too enthusiastically. She had an almost mocking tone, as though she was saying sorry to me after hearing about baked beans being poured all over me. I failed to see similar humor in the death of my only parent.
"Thanks, but I'm fine. Honestly," I said as politely as I could. The two plain words, 'fuck off' were roaming my head, and wasn't only directed at Janine but the increasing numbers of stares and pitiful gestures.
"Of course. If you need anything you just let me know. I'll have your back, okay Les?" She smiled gently at me.
"I don't think I'll require your help, but thanks anyway." I looked away as to signal the end of our conversation; she said bye and walked away with an unfamiliar classmate.
Truly, I was not only hiding from the unwanted commiserations, but from the guy whose ring was in my bedside table drawer. The guy whose name was so prominently written on the spine in black marker. I had written as a love struck girl, unaware of the road of misfortunes that were ahead of me. Well, us, actually. Ahead of me was Adam, and that was something far from a misfortune. And the guy who thought I loved him. I was good at fooling Brent.
I took out my hand phone, seeing if Adam had messaged me since the hour I'd woken up and seen a notification for one new message that wasn't his. It was Brent's cheesy Monday 'Good Morning' texts, towards which I replied that I loved him too and I was sorry to have to leave him for a shower.
I had slept facing the wall on my right, and woken up towards the opposite, where my bedside table stood. The diamond seemed to get brighter everyday, as though it were reaching out to me, pleading for it to be worn. Over the years, I'd learned something – inanimate objects are only so when the choose to be. They understand your situation and even acquire an opinion on it; it's up to us owners to notice. However, in this case, I feel that the ring may be dissatisfied, for I refuse its refuge on my finger.
Clara was heading in my direction and I quickly slid up my phone, and talked animatedly into it. Not laughing, but serious; I knew that joy would stir rumors implying I was emotionless, lacking in filial piety, or if it was to come to an extreme, a murderer. None of which I am, for I know myself to have an erupting bottle of emotions, and I tried my best as a daughter, even as a replacement for my mother. And the last would be the most inaccurate label for me.
"Whom are you talking to?" A deep voice whispered from behind, accompanied by a startling tap on the shoulder.
"Oh! Gosh dammit, CJ! Nobody – I was just trying to make myself seem unavailable to the over-pitiful and over-polite beings," I informed him, my cell phone back in my jeans pocket.
"Of course. Where might I ask, is Michelle? You did arrive with her, didn't you?" CJ asked.
"Her mom dropped us both, but she had last minute homework to catch up on. I think she's in one of the Drama studios." I was grateful for her having left me so quickly. Conversations always led to the heart-rending subject, which would cause tears in her eyes, rather than in mine.
"I see. Well, I was going to compliment on how well you look and ask how you were coping – but that seems rather daft of me; it's only normal you wouldn't want people swamping you with such," He said sympathetically, and I smiled gratefully at him.
"So maybe I've got something to cheer you up… I was wondering if you wanted to head back home with me, and perhaps you and Adam could meet up?" The thought of seeing Adam elated me, and I took a deep breath as my eyes widened. I was still unable to come to terms with the way he made a quaver circulate through the wires of my body, making me cold and warm simultaneously.
"I'd have to ask Michelle's mom, but thanks CJ. Yeah, I think I might come," I replied with eagerness to receive permission.
In spite of all the innuendos I threw at Junior, much to his discomfort, and the every so often shameless exhibitions of my vulgarity, which were far from his tastes – he always managed to do the good thing. The good thing without suggesting he wanted something more than the friendly hospitality. He saw friendship as a necessity, and relationship (or with some, booty calls) as a choice. Something that people believed the world would come crashing down if 'no' is selected.
"Hey! Sad One!" A person yelled out a few meters away from us, in the middle of the corridor. CJ turned around, obviously familiar with the voice, as I also surprisingly was.
"CJ!" And the figure appeared. The face was that face. The voice was that voice. All thoughts disappeared from my mind, and I thought of the time I said 'yes'.

Great article with some useful tips. It's one of the areas that I find I constantly struggle with so I'm looking forward to using these ideas. Thank you.
Dec 12 Posted 5 years ago
Well done!
Dec 9 Posted 5 years ago
Good question! There are so many social networks and online communities on the web, I drew largely from common examples. I also left out Bebo, many of the asian social networks which are in many cases larger than the US based ones, as well as the many many gated online communities that tailor to specific subject matters. If I were to be all inclusive or exhausive in my examples, the post would have been too long and likely unfocused!
I debated including Facebook for a bit and decided to leave it out. Since personal and professional interactions are often blended on facebook due to the nature of the medium (we look at friends pictures and endorse a brand all in the same fell swoop on Facebook) - I think it is sometimes a difficult platform for new social media users to start to develop a social media habit due to it's complexity.
But the primary reason was I couldnt possibly list them all so I drew upon examples that I think would be best suited for the jump start emersion program.
Dec 8 Posted 5 years ago Curious - why did you leave out Facebook?
Dec 7 Posted 5 years ago
And, yes I completely concur that taking 20 minutes a day to participate in social media will not yield mastery of the skill. Like anything in life, you get out what you put into an activity. But the idea of 20 minutes a day is about behaviour change! Many people are reticent to begin and havent developed the habit of participating online as the perceived and actual hurdles of doing something new can be quite daunting. Easier to remain static than to endeavor to change. However, rooted in learning theory, a commitment to *just try* something new is often a gateway to change. Just as no marathon runner ever started their first foot journey with 27 miles, no social media participant starts with hours of effort. And if they do, most likely there will be frustration and fatigue. The idea behind 20 minutes a day is to socialize and expose a new social media user to the experience so that they can choose to scale over time, or not. But at least they have a reasonable starting point with a clear direction in mind.
Dec 7 Posted 5 years ago
I acutally times this based on low effort- Of course a person can take much longer expecially with a salient post or comment, but for the beginner just getting started this hopefully provides a guide to a quick way to get started. And yes, I am a fast reader :)
Dec 7 Posted 5 years ago
You must be a fast reader.

In September 1972 a totally new car generation of the upper class was presented to the public. For the first time the name "Mercedes-Benz S-Class" was officially used. It replaced model series 108/109 and at that time consisted of Types 280 S, 280 SE and 350 SE. Since November 1973 the prolonged version was also available as 350 SEL, since April 1974 finally also as 280 SEL.
A remarkable technical novelty in the saloons of type range 116 was the double-wishbone front wheel suspension with zero steering-offset and brake dive support. It improved the handling characteristics of the car considerably. The rear wheel suspension corresponded for the most part to the construction which had proved itself for years in the "Stroke Eight" models and was also used in the 350 SL.

Britt was born and raised in the suburbs of Virginia, but he's always felt a strong desire to be in the wilderness. Several years in the Boy Scouts, along with many camping trips and hikes, helped propel his love of the wilderness. After 30 years in Virginia, he relocated to the rural farms and forests of Ohio. There, he began a family and continued a more focused study of bushcraft and resourceful primitive living. He now enjoys spending his time acquiring more skills, while passing on knowledge to his 6-year-old son, Campbell, who is already expressing his love for the wilderness.
Here are the ten items Britt selected to bring on his survival journey to Patagonia:
1. Sleeping Bag: 0°, synthetic
2. Ax: 31-inch felling ax
3. Saw: 24-inch bow saw
4. Pot: 2 quarts q/ handle
5. Fishing Line & Hooks: 25 hooks
6. Ferro Rod
7. Paracord
8. Knife
9. Rations
10. Rations

The Curved Arrow
Love and death in a time of great peril (And balls of gas)
I wonder;
Do the stars admire our glow?
Beneath or into the immense expanse,
Do we carry weight in the
Weightlessness of space?
Eternal grandfathers,
Ancient; beyond time
Beyond minds and beyond
All but the sky itself…
Parallax bodies and
Parallax souls,
Eyes of the blind,
Breakfast cereals
In the shape
Of the moon
At half mast.
So soon, so soon,
It's half past
And I must go,
As the sun sets east
I set west,
To the sea of dreams,
To meet with the trees,
Who's peculiar prosody,
A penchant for pedant,
Seems detrimental,
If not rude.
Oh, a crude joke,
A cruel yoke to bear,
I'm so sorry dear,
A gust of wind
Has caught your hair
And blown you close,
Cheek to cheek,
I've fallen in love
I do believe,
And those stars above…
Well they need not speak;
I know they care.
