All the talk today has been of Wayne Rooney reportedly letting it be known that he wants to leave Manchester United, and that he is not interested in negotiating a new contract at the club.
Manchester United have let so many great players go in the past and they've coped well. It should always be the case that no one player is bigger than the club, whether that club be United or anyone else.
Wayne hasn't really helped himself. Things are against him at the moment - his confidence is low while he continues to be vilified in the press for his off-field indiscretions.
But things could all turn around for him very quickly. A few decent performances and the rediscovery of his scoring form would see both him and the team benefit.
United have already dropped twice as many points from winning positions as they did for the whole of last season. Surely the Wayne Rooney of last season would have played a big part in turning some of those draws into wins.
So it does seem a bit premature to be pulling out of contract talks and demanding a move, if indeed that is what has happened.
Only a few people really know what's going on at the moment. Right now, it's good for the media to be running this story. It sells papers and gets people talking.
But talk is cheap, and is also good for the player's agent to try and gain the higher ground in negotiations over a new deal. This will end in either Rooney getting a bigger deal at Old Trafford or moving for big money. Either eventuality will mean a nice fee for his representatives.
It's sad that the result of Rooney's scandal and poor form could be that he gets a big-money move to another top European club. What kind of message does that send out about the way that football works?
He should be the one with the point to prove, and take the opportunity to show his worth again. Then, and only then, should he be rewarded by his current employers or be touting for a transfer.
No one enjoys sitting on the bench, especially at a club like United. I know for myself that to be at a club of that stature and being sat there watching your team-mates play is one of the hardest things to do.
But that should motivate you to do all you can to get back into the team, rather than simply decide to quit.
Real Madrid had been the name on everyone's lips when discussing possible destinations for Rooney, but they have now said they do not plan to sign any attackers in January, because they would find it difficult to accommodate them into their squad.
They must have looked at the possibility of signing him and decided it was a case of the right player at the wrong time.

A disgruntled Bill Wyman has refused to play with the Rolling Stones on a permanent basis again, saying he has "better things to do".
The 76-year-old bassist was with the band for three decades until 1993 and joined them for the first of their 50 and Counting shows in London last year, but feels the "time has gone" for a permanent return.
He told the Daily Express: "Thirty years was great but I've got better things to be doing now. That time has gone."
Wyman was initially excited about performing at the band's reunion shows in London last November, but said: "It was great for five minutes because that's about as long as they let me play.
"I thought I was going to get quite heavily involved because I was led to believe that throughout the year by them. It was fun but I regretted not playing more.
"I came off just as I was warming up and getting into it. When they asked me to go to America for two weeks to do three shows there, I said for two songs? No thank you."
However, Wyman didn't part with the band on bad terms and is still in contact with them on a "social" basis.
He added: "Our lives are still intertwined but it's social - it's not business anymore."
Wyman also said Mick Jagger had asked him for access to his archive to write an autobiography, but he refused.
He added: "I've got the letter, it said 'I'm doing this book, so of course I'll need access to your archives'.
"And I went 'Not a chance'. So he had to give the money back because he couldn't remember anything."

All I want to get in the database is artist and title. Now, the nfo scraper will pick it up the filename is in the format Artist - title.ext . But I have my music videos in a folder named after artist, and the filename just the song title, i.e.
There's 2 reasons for this, both due to the length of the filename.
1. My music videos are stored on the xbox hard drive.
2. I want to see the song title on the screen, not scrolling.
(plus I have 1000+ clips)
Take the example
Queens Of The Stone Age - Everybody Knows That You're Insane
Now that's a long title, both to display on the screen and get around the fatx char limit.
(I'm only mentioning all this because I think it might be a useful feature/change for other users in the same boat).
So, I tried to adjust the regexp in the musicvideos.xml scraper. As all of my music videos are in artist\title , and I only care about these 2 fields, I thought the following would work, but no go:
<RegExp input="$$1" output="<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><musicvideo><artist>\1</artist><title>\2</title><year>\3</year></musicvideo>" dest="3">
I assumed this would give me any sequence of characters followed by a \ then any other sequence of characters, but it doesn't pick up anything.
So, does anyone know:
1. If what I want to do will work?
2. The syntax of the regexp?

WEST BRANCH, Mich. (AP) — Katie Couric is giving a Disney World trip to a 16-year-old Michigan girl who was elected as her school's homecoming queen in an apparent prank.
Whitney Kropp was named to the homecoming court of the 800-student Ogemaw Heights High School earlier last month but says she felt betrayed after some students suggested her selection was a joke.
She says she'd been picked on in the past, but it intensified afterward.
Her story sparked national interest and on Friday, residents and business owners in the West Branch area turned out to the homecoming game to show their support.
Kropp appeared Tuesday on Couric's new daytime talk show "Katie."
The Detroit News says the show gave Kropp and another bullied student guest Disney World trips.

Get the power sander you will not regret it. I tried to hand sand a ¼ inch rust spot off near my grille and it took 3 hours to sand. After that I used a power sander on my hood and it was so much better. It only took an hour to sand a 2 foot thin strip of rust on my hood and that was with a really bad sander. When I sanded my door at first I used the bad sander but I got tired and decided to try the Black & Decker sander that I did not think would be as good. The Black & Decker sand was great it sanded through rust like it was nothing so whatever sander you get make sure it is good. After I power sanded the rust and paint off I finished sanding the metal by hand. The paint came out great and now I cannot imagine painting my car without a power sander.

Here's a link to a conference I just learned is coming to Portland at the end of April. It looks like an interesting sounding option for spending your continuing education budget if the WVDO conference doesn't work with your schedule. It appears to focus at least in part on the new for-profit/non-profit hybrid approach to revenue generation. If you're interested in microfinancing and alternative forms of investing, this could be great for you.

text: NATICK, Mass., July 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) has launched a clinical trial to determine whether occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) using the Precision™ System can safely and effectively treat chronic migraine when used in conjunction with anti-migraine medications. The OPTIMISE trial -- a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled study -- is expected to be used to support various regulatory approvals of this novel therapy for chronic migraine. The first patient to undergo this procedure was treated at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Mo., by Benjamin Lampert, M.D., using the Boston Scientific Precision System, which features multiple independent current control (MICC) technology. With ONS, a small programmable implanted device sends electrical impulses to the greater occipital nerve, which runs from the top of the spinal cord to the base of the scalp. Initial studies suggest that by stimulating the occipital nerve, it may be possible to mask the pain associated with chronic migraine 1-3. "By directly targeting the occipital nerve with neurostimulation, we are potentially able to offer patients an effective and relatively low-risk therapy," said Richard Lipton, M.D., professor of neurology and director of the Montefiore Headache Center at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York and principal investigator for the study. "I am excited to further evaluate the clinical utility of the Boston Scientific Precision System with MICC technology as a treatment for chronic migraine." Migraine is a neurological disorder affecting one in 10 adults worldwide. Sufferers have headaches that last more than four hours a day with some adults experiencing headaches 15 or more days per month. Migraine is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be one of the top disabling conditions worldwide. Despite the available treatment options, many migraine patients are unable to find relief.

A Young Folks' History of the Church HTML version
Removal To Ohio
The scriptures often speak of a time in the latter days when the people of God shall be
gathered together to build up the Lord's kingdom and prepare for his second coming. The
gospel should be preached to all the world, and those who would believe should go out
from Babylon, or the wicked world, and came together with the people of the Lord. Every
elder who has been on a mission will tell you that as soon as persons accept the gospel, a
desire comes to them to gather with the main body of the Saints. Thus the Lord puts the
spirit of gathering into the hearts of the believers, and his purposes are fulfilled.
The Lord told the prophet Joseph that the time for this gathering had come, and that the
central gathering place for the Saints on this land was somewhere in the West, though at
first the exact location was not told him.
In December, 1830, the word of the Lord came to Joseph that the Saints should gather to
Ohio. This was westward and in the proper direction. The western missionaries had
raised up large branches in Ohio, so it was not like going into a new place. The Church
was growing steadily, and many revelations were given to the Saints. We might say the
Lord was assigning lessons for us, which we have not yet learned very well.
Preparations were made for this removal by holding the third conference of the Church at
Fayette and setting its affairs in order.
One day, about the 1st of February, 1831, a sleigh containing two men and two women,
drove through the streets of Kirtland, Ohio, and stopped at the door of Gilbert and
Whitney's store. One of the men alighted, and springing up the steps, walked into the
store where one of the owners was standing.
"Newel K. Whitney, thou art the man!" exclaimed the visitor, extending his hand as to an
old friend.
"You have the advantage of me," replied the storekeeper, "I could not call you by name
as you have me."
"I am Joseph, the prophet," said the stranger, smiling. "You've prayed me here; now what
do you want of me?"
Mr. Whitney, you will remember, had joined the Church sometime before, and of course
he was delighted to see the prophet. Joseph and his wife, Emma, stayed at Brother
Whitney's house for some time. Shortly after this, Newel K. Whitney was called to be
bishop at Kirtland, and later he became the second presiding bishop of the Church.
Early next spring, 1831, the Saints from New York began to come to Ohio, buying land
in and around the town of Kirtland.
Before leaving Fayette, Joseph had been visited by a young man who had walked two
hundred miles to see him and have the prophet tell him what his duty was. This young
man was Orson Pratt, brother of Parley P. Pratt. Joseph received a revelation in which

That being said, I'm in love with this song. I think it's beautiful and a great progression from Illuminate and Assailants. I also agree that this song is about closure. I'm thinking the first song, "Hailey" will be one more 'This December...' type of song then this one is about closure. But who knows? Maybe it's just a song. So excited to hear the entire album!
HeBrokeAStringon September 28, 2011 Link
0I agree. That's the sad thing about some people who are fans of a band. When the band releases an album that becomes the sort of fan-selected "best album" from them, then that's all some fans want to hear. Screw progression and trying different things, all they want is another 10 albums that sound like Illuminate...I hate when people act like that. I've also seen several people talking about how they feel like Assailants sounded "half-done" or just not executed as well as it could have been, but I don't understand that either. I thought Assailants was a great album. While I'm not a fan of "Music Makers" I thought every other song on that album was amazing...the only "problems" I had with Assailants was that the songs were all rather short...and there were only 7 songs on what was supposed to be the band's final album lol. If they did, indeed break up for good I would have been a lot happier with a 2-disc final release or something. But...we don't have to worry about that now because we're getting new Lydia music again :) I agree though, I'm excited to hear the entire album as well...only 6 more days until it's released :) I just hope the pre-orders get to the people who bought them on the 4th...otherwise I'll be jealous of the people who just waited to buy it on iTunes lol.Flag PrettyToy712on September 28, 2011

An imaginative documentary on Nick Cave. Michael Fassbender wearing a giant fake head as the enigmatic lead singer of a band. And portraits of musicians as different as Jimi Hendrix, Britpop's Jarvis Cocker and Afrobeat's Fela Kuti...
From opening night on, music seeps through the program at the Sydney Film Festival this year. There is just one live show – a disco night dedicated to female rockers at the Festival Hub – but there is a fascinating mix of features, documentaries and blends of the two forms.
Festival director Nashen Moodley says films about musicians or styles of music are always popular.
"Lots of people go to films if it's an artist they really like," he says, citing the particular enthusiasm by fans of The National for the documentary Mistaken For Strangers at the festival last year.
While many films on musicians are traditionally driven by promotionally minded record companies, Moodley says the festival wants films that are more insightful about their subjects.
Six such films screen in the Sounds on Screen program this year; others music films feature elsewhere in the festival, starting with 20,000 Days On Earth, a look at the fictitious 20,000th day of Nick Cave's life by English visual artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard.
"We're seeing films concerning music having a more prominent place throughout the festival," says Moodley. "20,000 Days On Earth is the prime example as the opening film, also playing in the competition. I think it's an extraordinary film that's about a great musician but is also much more than that."
The film, which shows Cave having ethereal visits from Kylie Minogue, actor Ray Winstone and former band mate Blixa Bargeld, grew out of a long-time friendship that started when the directors made music videos for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
Pollard says it is very different from a traditional music documentary.
"It's weird and dark and strange and wonderful, maybe as weird and dark and strange and wonderful as his music," she says.
"We see him talking to a psychoanalyst about childhood and the death of his father. And every time he gets in the car, a figment of his imagination, a person from his past, manifests."
Cave invited the directors to film while writing his 2013 album Push The Sky Away.
"He's never let cameras in that early," says Pollard. "We knew it was a unique opportunity and we had to grab it."
What followed was an intimate close-up of Cave's creative life.
"It felt closer to this band than I've ever seen anyone get and we knew it needed to be - deserved to be - more than your standard music doco," Pollard says. "It had to do something bigger and better, more epic and more unusual, that was fitting for the artist that Nick is.
"Let's face it: he's one of the greatest, the most unpredictable, relentlessly brilliant, ruthless artists that we have in the world so we needed to make something that matched that."
Fittingly for a film screening in Sydney - at the State Theatre - 20,000 Days climaxes with a live performance of the song Jubilee Street just down the road at the Opera House.
Pollard believes viewers will see a different side to Cave in the film.
"In the past, maybe there's been a picture painted of him that he's a dark, humourless, mysterious or difficult character," she says. "That's not the truth: he is one of the funniest guys I've met. His lyrics are constantly sardonic."
Just as imaginative is Irish director Lenny Abrahamson's offbeat comedy Frank, which follows a would-be Irish songwriter, Jon (Domhnall Gleeson), who joins an eccentric band of avante garde pop musicians.
Their frontman is Frank (Fassbender), a musical genius who always wears a large fake head.
The film takes a fictional leap from the life of British comic and musician Chris Sievey, whose alter ego, Frank Sidebottom, wore a similar fake head.
Abrahamson (Garage, What Richard Did) found the story "very funny, moving, strange and challenging" when he read the script cowritten by Jon Ronson (author of the book The Men Who Stare At Goats) who once played in a band with Sidebottom.
"You have this character who on one hand is a kind of joke, Frank, but on the other manages to move you at the same time," he says. "I always find that combination very powerful - the tragicomic quality of the central character was something that really drew me in."
For Fassbender, acting inside a fibreglass head is about as far away as possible from his nude scenes in Shame.
"Many a lady, particularly, has felt slightly shortchanged by that," notes Abrahamson. "When Michael expressed interest in doing it, he already knew what it was, so it wasn't like l was going to him and saying, 'Hello, big movie star, I have a great idea. Let's put a bag over your head'.
"He's an actor who likes a challenge and he's an actor who doesn't always pick the most obvious roles. He loved the script and was drawn to the character and the challenge of playing the character minus his most recognisable feature."
While it has serious moments, Frank takes a whimsical look at the creative process and the idea of celebrity versus authenticity.
"It fit into the thematic territory of the film to take a famous actor whose face is a kind of brand and absent that from the image," says Abrahamson. "What you're left with is still most definitely Fassbender, but you're forced to interact with him in a different way as a viewer. It felt playful and fun to do that - and perverse in a way - and in keeping with the outsider spirit of the film."
If that comic excursion of indie pop doesn't appeal, Alex Gibney's documentary Finding Fela! is a portrait of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti; Johnny Winter: Down And Dirty focusses on the blues guitarist's comeback from years of excess and bad management; and Keep On Keepin' On shows jazz veteran Clark Terry taking on a new student - a gifted pianist who is blind.
The Sydney Film Festival runs from June 4-15. 20,000 Days on Earth screens on June 4 (sold out) and June 8 at SFF, while Frank screens on June 7 and June 10 before being released nationally on June 19. Go to sff.org.au for details and tickets.

I purchased a 1969 Plymouth GTX some years ago the motor work had already been done sometime in the early 90s it had a radical cam .30 bore the heads remachined and I'm not sure what all else was done as none of it was properly documented over those years. I am planning to add a 2 stage supercharger and blower with twins 600 carbs within the next two months. The blower is being done by supercharger USA and the carburetors by CNJ engineering and I am going to redo the motor to fit the specs they require for the system and what they need from me is a motor that has a compression rating between 8.6:1 to 9.2:1 to ensure that I shall be able to run the system on regular 92-93 octane pump gas. I am planning on tearing the motor down to at least the top cam and possibly the lower bottom and what I need to know from anyone that can help me is what all I will need to do to that motor to get in the required range for the system I will be operating. The system will be running between 5 and 6 pounds of boost ensuring that the supercharger maintains a 94% efficiency rating.THIS IS "NOT" BEING BUILT TO RACE... STREET USE ONLY .Any help on this subject matter would be greatly appreciatedy
No racing so I'm guessing this blower stuff is for looks only?Let's start here,Just for the compression ratio calculations you will need to know how your engine is built now, your cylinder head volume, the head gasket thickness and diameter, the piston deck height and the piston volume.Generally in boosted applications you would use a 2618 forged piston and piston clearances, rings & gaps for boosted engines.You'll run a camshaft with wider lobe separation to avoid blowing excess fuel and air out the exhaust during the cam overlap phase.
what? : engine, trans, rear gear. 5# boost an dual quads is more than looks, maybe +100 horse. measure some for 9:1 comp ratio, u may get that with the pistons u have. and if they are forged use them, and a cam around 228 degrees intake duration @ .050" and around 236 exhaust with 114 degrees lobe seperation.

Maybe it's time to start from scratch in Congress.
At least that's the message voters are sending in a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Wednesday. Nearly six in 10 (57 percent) said they would vote to defeat and replace every single member of Congress -- including their own representative -- if they could, a high dating back to 2010. Just 39 percent said they would not.
The response is striking, even as it's become crystal clear in recent years that Congress's overall image is in the toilet. (Americans give Congress an embarrassing 12 percent approval rating in the survey.) Why? Because while Congress as a whole is unpopular, incumbents continue to keep their jobs at an impressive clip. Roughly nine in 10 members of the House and Senate were reelected in 2012.
Not bad for a body less popular than cockroaches.
So do the new numbers mean we are going to see major turnover in Congress come 2014? Not necessarily. Consider that in January of 2012, 56 percent of voters said in the same survey that they would vote to defeat and replace every single member of Congress, nearly identical to the percentage saying the same thing now. But, that clearly didn't prompt voters to kick out their members en masse last fall.
A Gallup poll released in May showed that respondents approved of the job their representative in Congress was doing much more than they approved of Congress as a whole. Call it the institution-vs.-individual paradox.
What the latest NBC/WSJ numbers suggest is that voters have grown very weary of what they have seen from members of Congress, including their own. And it's not a partisan issue. Voters are split down the middle over whether they prefer a GOP- vs.-Democratic-controlled Congress.
Still, the devil-you-know attitude voters have displayed will probably keep many members of the 113th Congress in place for the 114th Congress.

In face recognition, quality is typically thought of as a property of individual images, not image pairs. The implicit assumption is that high-quality images should be easy to match to each other, while low quality images should be hard to match. This paper presents a relational graph-based evaluation technique that uses match scores produced by face recognition algorithms to determine the quality of images. The resulting analysis demonstrates that only a small fraction of the images in a well-studied data set (FRVT 2006) are low-quality images. It is much more common to find relationships in which two images that are hard to match to each other can be easily matched with other images of the same person. In other words, these images are simultaneously both high and low quality. The existence of such contrary images represents a fundamental challenge for approaches to biometric quality that cast quality as an intrinsic property of a single image. Instead it indicates that quality should be associated with pairs of images. In exploring these contrary images, we find a surprising dependence on whether elements of an image pair are acquired at the same location, even in circumstances where one would be tempted to think of the locations as interchangeable. The results presented have important implications for anyone designing face recognition evaluations as well as those developing new algorithms.

Storms Ravage Putnam
Strong storms pelted Putnam Tuesday resulting in power outages to thousands of area residents.
Wind gusts of up to 55 mph accompanied by torrential downpours flooded roads, toppled trees, caused transformer explosions and kept emergency responders on the go around-the-clock.
At the height of the storm, NYSEG reported more than 23,000 Putnam residents without power. The Putnam 911 Dispatch Center answered more than 350 emergency calls. Every fire department from Carmel to Cold Spring was dispatched for a variety of alarms. The Brewster and Mahopac departments each handled 17 calls during the storm.
In Mahopac Falls, a tree fell onto a moving vehicle on Secor Road injuring its driver. A tree fell onto a house on Tower Road in the Hilltop Manor subdivision in Carmel.
Putnam Valley received so much wind damage that schools were forced to be closed Wednesday due to a lack of power and many roads impassable due to fallen trees.
Several secondary roads in Putnam Valley were closed due to flooding conditions.

Very nice Blazer for warmer weather
By CAROLINE
from TORONTO, Ontario
This blazer would go well with a long sleeved thinner turtleneck for the winter or cooler weather as the fabric is very light.Nice and cool with short sleeved or sleeveless tank top for warmer weather.Very stretchy, comfortable and light! Stylish print!Love all of Joan's fashions!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Beautiful Jacket!
By Lover of jewellery!
from Toronto
I received the jackets in blue and in brown and I am thrilled with them. I couldn't have made a better choice. These are very well made the finishing is beautiful. They are quality cloths as I always expect from JR products. I love everything in both jackets and the best thing is that it hides any body defects. I only want to say that you have to get a size smaller as it is on the larger side.

Bought TWO
By Sun Lover
Any female with a large bust who has a hard time fitting into regular jackets will love this one.Just the right fit and amount of stretch. Hope Joan brings this in more colours!!!
Fabric quality is good
By winter47
from Ottawa
A good fit; however I agree with one reviewer who called the style "mumsy". It is, but given that I am over 65, it suits me fine.The brown leopard pattern is a little dull, and certainly not the most flattering on me, but I've worn it and it's comfortable.It's great for those who like more classic styles.

Like the fabric but....
By Benz11
from Fonthill, Ont
The fabric in this jacket is very light and nice quality, however, the style is mumsy and not exciting. A good fit, perhaps a bit generous. Just did not have enough chic for this gal!!!Had to return.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Nigel Farage today performed a no-show at his party's carnival of colour in Croydon because the area is "unsafe" and a "dump", Ukip's local candidate claimed.
The rally, at which the under-fire Ukip leader was due to hit back at claims of racism in his party, was plunged into confusion when he didn't turn up.
Dozens of Ukip supporters - and vocal protesters - had been on hand to greet Mr Farage, only to discover he was not coming.
Ukip candidate for South Norwood, Winston McKenzie explained the absence was a result of Croydon's run-down reputation.
"It's not a case of being scared, it's a case of realising you're a responsible family man and leader of a political party," he said.
"When you're going into a ring there are certain people and situations you have to avoid. When you weigh up the situation in Croydon and how violent it has become... Just a few weeks ago someone was murdered, chopped up and thrown in the bin.
Asked in front of onlookers if Mr Farage was "chicken", Mr McKenzie continued: "It's not a good idea. If he's not shown up he's a very sensible man.
"What used to be the place to come, the place to shop, has now become a dump.
"How can you ask an international leader to turn up somewhere that's not safe?
"This is a very sensible man. Croydon has deteriorated over successive years. Now we have a coalition where Croydon has descended into depravity.
"He wouldn't feel safe and who would blame him?"
Mr Farage's party had been due to attend hold a rally, complete with a steel drum band, after he suggested he would not feel safe if Romanians moved in next door to him.
Protesters chanted "we are all Romanians" as the crowd waited for the Ukip leader and local candidates canvassed for votes against the backdrop of steel drum music.
Earlier, Mr McKenzie had been challenged by onlooker Anthony St Croix, 26, about a Ukip candidate who recently claimed Lenny Henry "should go back to a black country".
Asked what he thought of Ukip attracting black candidates to stand in the area, Mr St Croix told the Standard: "For me it's a classic divide and conquer to be honest with you.
"'Let's get a couple of them onside and the rest will follow'.
"But unfortunately what people have got to realise is that the youth are actually smarter than the media portray. We have got some educated people here in Croydon, but we are stereotyped and we are judged."
Today it was revealed Farage had been reported to Britain's racism watchdog after he suggested people in London would be right to be concerned if Romanians moved in next door.
The watchdog confirmed that it has powers to investigate acts of prejudice and take individuals to court.Reuse content

Vibration isolation for autonomous helicopter flight
Dunbabin, Matthew, Brosnan, Peter, Roberts, Jonathan M., & Corke, Peter (2004) Vibration isolation for autonomous helicopter flight. In Proceedings 2004 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation ICRA '04, IEEE, Hilton New Orleans Riverside Hotel, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, pp. 3609-3615.
Published Version
(PDF 640kB)
The mechanisms of helicopter flight create a unique, high-vibration environment which can play havoc with the accurate operation of on-board sensors. Vibration isolation of electronic sensors from structural borne oscillations is paramount to their reliable and accurate use. Effective isolation is achieved by realising a trade-off between the properties of the suspended instrument package, and the isolation mechanism. This is made more difficult as the weight and size of the sensors and computing hardware decreases with advances in technology. This paper presents a history of the design, challenges, constraints and construction of an integrated isolated vision and sensor platform and landing gear for the CSIRO autonomous X-Cell helicopter. The results of isolation performance and in-flight tests of the platform in autonomous flight are presented.

text: Here's what they fail to take into account. The anti-gun lobby has been trying to stress that all of those guns sales were to existing die-hard gun owners who already have guns. But being that most states do not run a NICS check if the person as a concealed handgun license, that means all of the die-hard gun purchases wouldn't even show up as part of the NICS check.

A baroque musical offering
After months and weeks of preparation the baroque festival is upon us and Valletta, from January 8 to 26, will resound to the wonderful musical creations of Bach, Vivaldi and Handel, whose names, in the baroque firmament, burn brightly like comets in a galaxy of twinkling stars.
Bach, Vivaldi and Handel dominated a world which was called The Age of Elegance, an age during which the so-called 'enlightened despots', like Catherine the Great and Frederick the Great, read the works of the encyclopaedists and idolised Voltaire while he was exiled from France by Louis XV. This was an age when Frederick in his jewel like palace of Sans Souci held concerts in which he, an accomplished flautist, participated and in connivance with one of Johann Sebastian's sons, Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach, set the thema regium with which old Bach, then considered, quite wrongly, to be terribly old fashioned, created the fabled Musical Offering which still astounds the listener with its innovativeness, stateliness and grandeur.
In Malta, always a microcosm of Europe, we can safely say that, of the grandmasters of the 18th century, the two Portuguese, Manoel de Vilhena and Pinto de Fonseca, definitely qualify as enlightened despots and patrons of the arts. Crescent moons, winged hands holding swords and rampant lions are heraldic evidence all over Valletta that these princes availed themselves of the politics of art to create a lasting memorial tothemselves and the Order that they epitomised.
The greatest monument to this glorious period is undoubtedly the Manoel Theatre which although extensively remodelled since its inauguration in 1732 still retains that inimitable 18th century courtly feel. The Manoel embodies the spirit of an age where the Michael Jacksons of the day, the Farinelli brothers, castrato and composer, caused people to swoon with the sheer audacity of their high Fs.
It was, of course, with V18 looming on the horizon, a mere matter of time before the realisation that we would be missing out, that caused the Valletta International Baroque Festival to materialise, and to do that we had to persuade the authorities that not only was it viable but also sustainable. I am delighted and grateful that it was not hard to persuade them to share my vision and that I have had unstinting support all the way from the ministries and entities concerned not to mention private sponsors who have seen the efficaciousness and the business opportunities a festival like this can generate.
January is what is called a shoulder month where tourism needs to be boosted and where the post festivities blues need to be blown away in a splendid event which celebrates our capital city as never before. From the 8th to the 26th top local and international ensembles and orchestras, many specially flown over, will be performing in Valletta, in the Manoel Theatre, in the Jesuit Church, the All Souls Church, the President's Palace and last and not least St John's Co-Cathedral wherein the star concert on the 17th will take place with two of the greatest baroque works, Vivaldi's Gloria and Bach's Magnificat performed by the fabled and world famous Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and filmed by Mezzo for posterity.
Other wonderful performances like the exquisite Johann Christian Bach opera Zanaida produced by Paris based Opera Fuoco and Handel's Ballet Terpsichore produced by Versailles habitués Les Talens Lyriques under the baton of the renowned Christophe Rousset, not to mention our own Malta Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Michael Laus with the participation of violinist Carmine Lauri, will be performing the entire Quattro Stagioni while The King's Consort and Combattimento Ensemble will be putting on top Handel and Bach programmes. New Century Baroque is an ensemble set up from one of the European Baroque Orchestra years in which our own Nadia Debono takes part regularly while connections with contemporary Maltese composer Ruben Zahra created a lovely programme from the Jeune Orchestre Atlantique in which a number of works by Maltese composers will be performed. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Moliere's Don Juan in Maltese with English surtitles and a pyrotechnical recital by countertenor David Hansen with the MPO and other smaller recitals by chamber ensembles will be taking place, crowned with an all Bach organ recital by our own Wayne Marshall on Sunday the 20th at 3pm at St John's Co Cathedral.
Irrespective of the recession, irrespective of post Christmas blues, a pensioner may listen to the King's Consort perform for as little as €5. Where else in the world can one do that? This festival would not have been possible without the help and cooperation of a tiny but enthusiastic workforce based at the Manoel Theatre itself which has pledged itself to finance fully this gift to Maltese culture established by the Government for the "honest recreation of the people" as decreed by Grand Master Vilhena.
The spinoffs from the festival are endless. Already we have established the Valletta International Baroque Festival Ensemble which performed with honours at St Paul's Anglican Cathedral on December 5 with celebrated soprano Emma Kirkby and which, throughout the coming year, till January 2014 that is, can perform anywhere in Malta or abroad under the festival's name. I am very, very proud of this ensemble made up as it is of Maltese and foreign musicians on a 50/50 basis. From ensembles to special academies, workshops and centres for the restoration of harpsichords and other specialised instruments, to exhibitions of baroque art and artefacts like reliquaries or ostensories, the activities that could be possible should we all pull the same rope and realise how natural the baroque idiom is within the Valletta ambience.
I look to you all dear readers to establish this festival as a yearly event that will go from strength to strength and not just a damp January squib, by supporting as many events as you can through attending and showing Europe and the world that, in so far as Capital of Culture is concerned, we Maltese mean business.
Kenneth Zammit Tabona is Artistic Director of the Valletta International Baroque Festival.

What a good product

I got a chance to use it and it worked perfectly.I always had a hard time until this product came along. Thanks TSC.

It Works!!!
Par Mel

Amazing gadget! Buy one for all your girlfriends, your Moms & Grandmothers for Christmas. Seriously, we all are too busy and struggle to get those bracelets and necklaces fastened and we are always rushing to get ready to go. A life saver in reducing our stress levels. While it is made of sturdy plastic it is worth every penny.

What a gadget!!
Par operalover
de Halifax NS
As I write this I have FIVE bracelets on my wrist. I have tried every type of clasp, every weight and every thickness of bracelet. The bracelet buddy works for all of them.I live alone and have problems with fine motor control -- there are only so many times you can go across the hall and ask a neighbour to fasten a tricky clasp!This is SO easy to use, I rate the product a 5, even though it is light-weight plastic and I fear it may break. Kudos for finding this, although I suspect it will not be good for my pocket book. I had stop purchasing new bracelets, but now...,p.s. This would be a great gift to anyone who loves to wear jewellery, especially if they have fine motor skill issues.

couldn't do without it
Par MARY ELLEN
de BURLINGTON
Get it!!!!!! This is such a useful item. TSC has had other items like this before & I have always missed getting them so I jumped on this one when I saw it. It is not just for someone who has difficulty (arthritis, etc.) with their hands/fingers, this is for everyone. I have some bracelets that just have clasps that are difficult. This item allows you to anchor them so you just have to deal with one end of the bracelet. I am thinking of getting a few more of these to give to friends as hostess gifts or stocking stuffers. Get it, you won't regret it.
Works well, nice to have finer tip
Par Kathy
de Calgary
I have used this a couple of times, took a bit of learning how to manoeuvre it but it worked well. It would be nice to have a slimmer tip for more delicate clasps as the tip is fairly bulky. All in all good product
Par DIANNE
de EDMONTON
No more excuses of not wearing my bracelets because no one home to help me put them on. It works EXACTLY as shown in the video....wish I had of thought of it!!!! With having arthritis it makes it a breeze! I HIGHLY recommend this product!!
finally help is available
Par lupins0
de Moncton NB
finally. I have looked for ages to have something to help me fasten bracelets and necklaces. Some of the fasteners are so small that even fingers cant do the job. I am so happy to have something that makes this chore easier.
Par Donna
de Langley BC
If I could give this product more stars, I would. No more leaving my bracelets in the jewellery box because there's no one home to help me put them on. It works EXACTLY as shown in the video....wish I had of thought of it!!!! I HIGHLY recommend this product!!

Historical Ignorance Warps American Politics: Jonathan AlterJonathan Alter
June 17 (Bloomberg) -- In Woody Allen's charming new movie, "Midnight in Paris," Owen Wilson's character, a modern-day novelist, travels through time to the 1920s. He wishes he could stay, so he could keep hanging out with Hemingway and Fitzgerald. His love interest from the '20s wishes she were living in La Belle Epoque. Both discover when they travel back to the 1880s that Degas and Gauguin wish they were living in the Renaissance.
Most of us occasionally experience Era Envy, a wistful feeling, captured in Edwin Arlington Robinson's poem "Miniver Cheevy," that we were born too late. Cheevy "wept that he was ever born."
Politicians, being more practical, wield such themes to win favor with nostalgic voters. Nowadays we're past the point where Democrats invoke the 1960s and Republicans the 1980s. On the right, in particular, the time horizons are getting longer. Conservatives openly yearn for a pre-New Deal social contract under which Americans would largely fend for themselves as they did in the 19th century. (Glenn Beck went so far as to call Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive Era a "cancer.") And the Tea Party folks, of course, want to go even further back in time and restore the spirit of the founders.
The problem is that spreading a romantic gauze over history distorts our sense of the present. It makes our politics treacly, trivial and unaccountable to historical truth. It doesn't help that test results released this week from the National Assessment of Educational Progress show that students in fourth, eighth and 12th grades do worse in American history than in any other subject. This will leave them unarmed against distortion.
History Left Behind
One explanation for this poor showing is that the No Child Left Behind Act has pushed schools to be so focused on reading and math that subjects like history are left behind. Another is that a growing preference on the part of teachers for teaching social studies (which can double as civics) has meant that only about 60 percent of history teachers majored in history while in college. Imagine teaching physics if you majored in biology.
A bigger obstacle to understanding history is the instant gratification offered by the 24/7 social-media culture, where a Twitter posting that's more than a few hours old might as well have not been posted at all. In this world, a story like the BP oil spill, which soiled everything in its path a mere year ago, leaves almost no media residue. This culture is increasingly non-linear, and thus divorced from narrative, which is a killer for a discipline that depends on great story-telling.
Hackneyed Fairy Tale
I study history and write history, and it pains me to see it taught in a boring way that turns students off. But I worry even more about it being transformed into a hackneyed fairy tale that warps our political debate.
The Disneyfied history invoked by Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann is more about marketing than genuine Era Envy. Palin drew hoots recently for claiming that Paul Revere was warning the British as well as the colonists on his famous midnight ride (then she angrily refused to admit she made a mistake). Bachmann thought the battle of Concord took place in New Hampshire. These are the forgivable errors of the uninformed.
But Bachmann, a newly minted presidential candidate who says she changed parties after reading Gore Vidal's novel "Burr" and finding herself repulsed by his critical treatment of the founders, is playing a more destructive game with history. She isn't conjuring the past; she's wielding it as a weapon.
Natural Dog Whistler
Bachmann, like Palin, is a natural dog whistler. In politics, a dog whistle refers to a coded message meant to appeal to certain constituencies while flying right past the general public. A classic recent example was George W. Bush's saying in a 2004 debate that he wouldn't appoint anyone to the Supreme Court who supported the Dred Scott decision. This peculiar reference to an 1857 slavery case was meant to signal right-to-lifers that opposition to Roe v. Wade was a litmus test for Bush.
Bachmann is dog whistling when she pledges to "take back America." The question this raises is: from whom? From a "socialist" president?
Let's give Bachmann the benefit of the doubt and stipulate that no racial message was intended. A subliminal racial message, among others, will still likely be received. "Take back America" is also a dog whistle for "Take America back" -- back to a better time before a man like Barack Obama was president. Before, say, the number of Hispanics taking the national history assessment test in eighth-grade more than doubled in a mere five years.
John Wayne Era
In some ways, things were indeed better in what Bachmann calls the John Wayne era. Prosperity was more broadly shared when we had a vibrant middle class. People knew their neighbors and shared more common values.
But in many ways, it was worse -- more racism (in the '50s under Eisenhower), more threat of nuclear annihilation (in the '60s under Kennedy), more economic pain (in the '70s under Carter), more crime (in the '80s under Reagan), more pollution.
Who will stand up for the historical record? When Bachmann said during the Republican debate this week that she would eliminate the "job-killing EPA," none of the candidates disagreed. This is a perfect illustration of how the ignorance that sometimes lies behind Era Envy can be exploited politically. Contrary to predictions when it was established by President Richard Nixon in 1971, the Environmental Protection Agency killed no jobs. It did clean our air and water. Would Bachmann prefer that Americans hunt and fish in filth?
Hemingway wouldn't. Neither would John Wayne.

UDC Clinical Services Receives Public Health Hero Award
Congratulations to our very own blog writer Logan Clark. He alone with his colleagues at Utah State Prison received an award for how they handled a medical emergency at the prison.
Here is what was written by UDC:
The Utah Department of Corrections Clinical Services team was named the 2012 Utah Public Health Hero for its response to last year's high-profile botulism incident. The case impacted approximately a dozen prison inmates after they brewed and consumed an illegal (and, as it turned out, poisonous) substance.
The nomination credited the Draper prison's medical staff for decreasing the severity of the illness, and even for preventing deaths thanks to its speedy recognition and treatment of the food borne botulism.
The illness is very rare, making it difficult to identify in a timely manner. Prison staff played a critical role in noticing the symptoms and getting them treated before they worsened to an irreparable stage.
The entire prison medical staff earned high praise for its emergency response in a nomination form that was filed with the Utah Public Health Association. Specifically commended for their individual efforts through the emergency situation were Pauline Sturdy, Colleen Guymon, Dr. Richard Garden, Dan Ritter, and Logan Clark.
When inmates began exhibiting symptoms of the illness, nurse Colleen Guymon conducted interviews to help discern exactly which offenders actually had botulism as opposed to which inmates either had less-severe illnesses or were being disingenuous in effort to manipulate the services.
Guymon insisted on sending inmates to the hospital to obtain care needed – She was knowledgeable, responsible, and experienced in dealing with this population, the nomination stated.
Pauline Sturdy had worked extensively with public health to establish an ongoing relationship with allied agencies. She was commended for her participation on conference calls throughout the ordeal, as well as for her efforts to educate staff and inmates during continued efforts to flush out all botulism cases. "Pauline has always supported public health, and her service is exemplary – Her medical/public health knowledge and experience greatly benefits the community," the nomination said.
Through all the praise for the medical staff's swift and potentially life-saving response to the extremely rare and high-profile case, Dr. Garden remained humble and honest, stating, "We are just doing our job."
Public Health officials also thanked clinical services and the prison for allowing officials from the CDC to study the botulism incident as part of a broader effort to benefit public health at large. Health officials hope to turn this life-threatening ordeal into a positive learning experience that will allow them to benefit society by formulating forward-looking lessons.
At a later point, several individuals including Logan were received at an Awards Luncheon by the Utah Public Health Association where they received the Utah Public Health Hero Award (organization). Here are a few pictures from that event.
The second picture is of other award winners for the State of Utah. This is not including the group from the Utah State Prison.

So far we've taken in a few hundred donations (teddy bears) for kids but its not quite enough.
I was told you could help or maybe you knew someone that could help us get the word out.
Feel free to contact me anytime. Anything you can do is appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

There is an adjustment you can do, either moving it higher or lower (accessible by two covered holes under the door) or there is a harder adjustment- remove the door panel and raise or lower the window until you see the rear window mount. Remove the screw from the mount and you will see an extremely large allen hole- this adjusts the "wedge" that will bring the window toward or away from the roof of the car. I thought my car had a window regulator going bad, but found loose hardware and found that previous repair put the wedge in wrong. I have it back together, but need to adjust it to seal at the roof more. Take note for a rubber band or oring- it needs to be there to hold the wedge assembly together while the bolt is out.. mine wasn't there.

E-Cigs battery powered and provides smokers inhaled doses of nicotine by delivering a vaporized liquid nicotine solution. When the body absorbs the nicotine, users exhale a water vapour which looks like puff of smoke to the common eye. In addition to delivering nicotine, this vapor also provides flavour and a physical sensation very similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no tobacco, smoke, or combustion is actually involved.

So...I ended up buying one which works fine.

Wing Ding expected to raise thousands for UCP Development Center
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Eating wings to raise money sounds like something fun and simple, but it's an event that one Mid-Missouri organization counts on.
The Wing Ding event is Tuesday evening in Columbia at the Holiday Inn Executive Center. It's been going on for 26 years to raise money for the United Cerebral Palsy Heartland's Child Development Center in Columbia.
In the past few years, giving has been down for many organizations including the UCP Center off Nifong.
It's a place where children from six weeks through 12 years with many different needs, such as Autism, Down Syndrome, or children who are developing typically can go for child care.
It's shaped many children's lives and been a relief for many parents.
Tony Schwinke is a regular at the UCP Development Center, dropping by often to check on changes.
"This area does a great job of demonstrating how you can create an area for play for children with disabilities. It's a very even surface that a wheelchair can roll on."
The center is near and dear to Schwinke for how it helped his family.
"When our first son Evan was born, he was born early he had some breathing issues and had a tracheotomy until he was 5 years old," said Schwinke.
After Evan was born, Tony and his wife had planned to get back to work, but spent 6 months looking for a child care center that would take his son and where they could feel comfortable leaving him.
They found the UCP Development Center, a center accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, where all teachers either have a degree in early childhood education or are working toward it.
The Schwinke's were amazed with the dedicated staff.
"In Evan's case it was important for the staff to care for his tracheotomy, so we would meet with them every month to sit down and go through some of the care."
Care like that can add up, but here they like to keep costs down for parents. Tuition is around the same you would pay at other daycares in town.
"It's really important to get money from outside donations, private sources, as well as these fundraisers that we do so that we can help out with scholarships for families who may not be able to afford it," said teacher Heather Demand.
Recently, times have been tight and they've had to cut back on some programs like Camp Friday, which is a service on Friday nights that allows parents to drop kids off to get errands done or just have a night off.
"Our cars program is one that's really important. It provides car seats and car beds for children who need specialized car seats and we've been having to cut that program as well," said Demand.
Because the center helped out the Schwinke family, they like to give back.
For more than a decade Tony has helped with the Wing Ding event, where almost every dollar goes to the center.
The Wing Ding event brings in around $15,000 each year.

Hello the list,
I have a CW45 and the PM40 and am experiencing a very stiff slide release problem.
I'm not so concerned about the cutting edges...yet. The real problem is that it takes both thumbs to get the slide to release. I am not a weenie. No Popeye thumb, but I have never encountered a slide release this brutal.
Will this ease up as the pistol gets broken in? As it stands now, if it doesn't get better I will either have to dump the pistol or have a thumb tab welded on to the release. I really do like the way these pistols handle. The recoil on the CW45 is actually comparable to my old S&W 3913 9mm.
If you have an answer, or a source for a lever with tab, please let me know.
