A very special Christmas gift to all visitors from Roma Capitale, thanks to two special loans from the Fondazione Guglielmo Giordano and the Fondazione Sorgente Group: the exhibition of two paintings by Pinturicchio in the Capitoline Museums.
This display is featured as part of an exchange of works of art from prestigious European and American museums, the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth loaned to the Capitoline Museums refined bronze head of an Apoxyomenos, a figure of an athlete, who has just finished exercising, depicted in the act of cleansing himself in a traditional manner. With a slightly larger head size and, until recently, mounted on a draped bust of Renaissance date, the statue was probably a version of the bronze datable to the fourth century BC.
For the first time, an exhibition of sixty-six drawings that aims to provide a detailed comparison between two great masters of the Italian Renaissance.
Images, objects and videos of an extraordinary life tell the story of man who has marked an era: Pope John Paul II. An exhibition that aims to reveal even the Pope's intimacy, a man who gave all of himself to God's people, becoming a beacon of peace.
The Oath. Giuseppe Mazzini's Young Italy
On display, for the first time, the letter sent by Giuseppe Mazzini to Giuseppe Giglioli on July 21, 1831 containing the oath of membership to the " Giovine Italia" (Young Italy). The exhibition is sponsored by the Prime Minister's Presidency and Roma Capitale.
Second in the series "I giorni di Roma" (The days of Rome), this exhibition offers the chance to ponder on Roman portraits, a real communication tool used to affirm political and social prestige in public and commemorative monuments, tombs and private houses from the late Republican age.
On display are the copper axes (2500-2300 BC) from the Royal Palace of the ancient city of Batrawy (northern Jordan), discovered by the archaeological mission of the Sapienza University of Rome, after the restoration carried out by the Istituto Superiore per la Conservazione e il Restauro in Rome.

Iron Maiden frontman denies involvement with U.S. military drones
Listen to Iron Maiden on iHeartRadio
Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson is taking exception to being called a "warmonger."
The rocker is denying allegations from the "Dorset Eye" blog, which claims the singer is investing in a British company that has a $500 million contract to produce drones for the U.S. military.
In a statement to "NME," Iron Maiden's rep calls the article "spurious," "totally inaccurate," and a "malicious piece of writing." The rep confirms that both Bruce and Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood "were early investors in and remain great supporters" of Hybrid Air Vehicles, whose product has "nothing whatsoever to do with drones" but has "massive positive implications in many areas of life." The rep admits there could be future military use for HAVs, but says the vehicles are designed for applications would save lives.
The "Dorset Eye" is citing an announcement on the South African "Conference Speakers International" website, which has since been removed.
The Iron Maiden rep says the "Dorset Eye" article "seems to have stemmed from an unfortunate mistake in terminology" on the South African website, which the writer "used as a starting point and catalyst to go off on a flight of sheer fantasy."

Smartphone camera converter
By Gary
from West Milford, NJ
Best Uses
Takes too long to set up, sync with app to get a quick shot. But for taking a special sunset etc. it's pretty good. I took it on vacation and used it a lot less than anticipated. So it's a bit pricey for the amount of use you get out of it, also it should come with a carrying case.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

text: Did anybody else notice that this did not happen last game? I don't think that it is a coincidence that romo used less time to make his pre snap reads and had his worse game arguably ever. You might have also noticed that pre snap penalties were near non existant last game as well, probably not a coincidence either. As frustrating as it is to see that clock wind down and get those false starts I would rather let romo make his pre snap reads and adjustments and take the penalties if last game is the alternative.

Police have recovered the body of a mother of two who is believed to have fallen overboard from a boat moored in Rose Bay in Sydney's east.
The 49-year-old woman's husband woke at 2am on Monday to find his wife missing from the vessel, which is believed to have been moored in preparation for Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks.
The woman is believed to have fallen overboard at night.
A large-scale search was immediately launched for the woman, however that was called off at 6.30am when a woman's body was discovered in the water about 200 metres east of the Rose Bay wharf.
''The deceased is yet to be formally identified, but it is believed to be the missing woman,'' a police spokesman said.
''A post-mortem examination will be conducted in coming days to determine a cause of death.''
The woman had previously been seen by her husband and two children, a boy and girl aged nine and 12, at midnight before they left her on deck to go to bed.
When the woman's husband got up during the night he discovered she was missing and phoned triple-0 and a search was launched involving local command officers, water police and the police helicopter.
The Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter and a rescue boat from a nearby surf club also scoured the area.
Stephen Leahy, CEO of the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter, said the boat was moored about 200 metres off shore and a small inflatable boat, used to reach the shore, was still attached to the back of the woman's vessel.
''The suggestion is that she has fallen overboard,'' he said.
''Her husband got up and found her missing and then has called triple-0.''
He said police officers also walked along the shoreline searching for the woman.
The boat has been towed to Balmain for forensic testing.
Police could not say whether the woman and her family were tourists.

In centuries gone by only those of royal or noble blood and high ranking clergy were allowed to wear the color purple. The creation of the dye was an expensive and long drawn out process. It is not an unrealistic reach to see the association between the wearing of purple garments to the coveted use of the purple amethyst for adornment of the body.
Here the luscious color is evident in a round faceted amethyst of an estimated 1.5 carats. Double prong set, the noble gem is enhanced by a lace-like filigree mounting of 10k white color. Feminine and ornate, the contrast of the amethyst and the setting provides for an immediate visual impact.
Date: Circa 1930.

I'm using Backtrack 4 booting from a usb stick.
My Sony laptop has the new Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6200 AGN adapter.
I was trying to get aircrack to work and i kept having that lame "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory" error...After a lot of searching i found out that it has to do with the adapter's firmware so i checked in /lib/firmware folder and it has firmwares for up to 5000 series and not for the 6000 ones.
Anyway,i found the the microcode image needed for my adapter are here: http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwif...-18.104.22.168.tgz
So, my 1 million $ question is.....Can i copy them somehow from the laptop's hard disk (using windows 7) to the usb stick and place them inside the /lib/firmware folder? If not, is there anything else i can do about the firmware?
Needless to say, i'm a total linux noob
try to
the command shows you all paths which contain string "iwlwifi"Code:# locate iwlwifi
As for updating i cant connect to internet with BT since i cant make my Huawei usb modem (using Vodafone 3G broadband) to work...
Is there a way to download the needed updates using windows and install them to BT manually??
P.S I no longer use a live usb to boot to BT, it's intalled to a hard disk partition
I am still having troubles with this. I copied over the files into the firmware folder but nothing loads. I see 5000 series drivers and 4965 drivers but not 6000 series drivers. Please help!

Man gets 20 years for cousin's death
Published: Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 9:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 9:46 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE — An Orlando man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for his part in a drug robbery in Tallahassee that left his cousin dead.
A Leon County judge sentenced 20-year-old Denzell Billings-Harrison this past week. He was convicted in May of second-degree felony murder and two counts of armed robbery.
Court documents show that Billings-Harrision and his cousin, Jamal Kee, attempted to buy marijuana in February 2012 from three other men at the Shaker Heights Apartments. After the men realized the cousins were trying to pay with counterfeit money, a fight broke out.
The Tallahassee Democrat (http://goo.gl/Oa5RI ) reports that Billings-Harrison's .380 caliber gun fired unintentionally, hitting one of the other men. The man who was shot then stabbed both cousins, killing Kee.

Teaneck Public Library
840 Teaneck Road, Teaneck, NJ 07666
Tel.: (201) 837-4171 | Fax: (201) 837-0410
Source: Teaneck Public Library Oral History file, taped March 1, 1976.
Interview With Lacey Walker, Age 84
I came to Teaneck in July of 1923 or 24, I lived here until 1960 when I moved to Englewood, then to Cape Cod and to Essex., Conn. After my second wife died I returned and now live in Ridgefield Park.
I lived first at 274 DeGraw Avenue. then 315 Crestview Place and at 205 Vandelinda Ave. from 1937 to 1960. 1 remember the trolley from Edgewater that came through Leonia, up DeGraw Avenue and on to Paterson. There was a ferry at 125th Street.
I was elected to the Township Committee and served on the Council in 1928 and 29 as fire commissioner. I was mayor or chairman of the Township Committee in 1930 until the Taxpayers' League took over in November,1930. I was on the other side, They elected five, I was a Republican candidate and was sixth after the Taxpayers League elected five. I'd have been elected if we hadn't had so many Republicans on the Council.
I was active in the Masons and in the Teaneck Building and Loan Association from 1929 to 42. Through mergers this became Central Bergen Savings and Loan Association. I was a director for 49 years and am now a director emeritus. I can attend all the meetings but I can't vote.
The Masonic Lodge got its charter in 1929. I've been a member 58 years. We bought property and built a temple at the end of Minell Place--bought it from Mrs. Lippman. We lost it in the depression. After that we met in Bogota and then at the Kenwood Fire house,
Among those I remember were John Kelly, Christ Gloeckler, James Reilly, Bob Lewis and Augie Hanniball.
The Building and loan business was good in 1928 and 29. One of the things we did was to have a master plan of Teaneck made by a professional. Nelson Ayers had a plan to develop State Street. It is unusually wide. He built one apartment building and planned others. He had a lot of ideas. He was away ahead of his time.
When I moved to Teaneck, Queen Anne Road ended about where Copley Avenue is. My wife, two children and I used to walk up and sit on the culvert. Everything north of there was Phelps Woods. There was a building on the hill on Palisade Avenue south of Cedar Lane where they purchased horses for the cavalry in World War I.
We had three volunteer fire departments--Glenwood Park, Morningside Terrace and Kenwood as well as the main fire house on Teaneck Road. I was a member of Morningside Terrace. All the land south of there was vacant. We used to have carnivals there. The Volunteer Fire department owned the land. We sold it to the township about 10 years ago and they have the fire house there now. When the Kenwood people sold the Masons bought it. I was active on the Council as fire commissioner and was a volunteer fireman. I'm an exempt Fireman now. They tell me that will help out with my burial.
Ken Ridley was fire chief. The Longfellow School fire was in 1922, My children went to Longfellow the next year.
Hillcrest Terrace ended at Morningside Terrace. There was a big house there with a fire ring and hammer out front.
I remember the Board of Education fought Route 4 because they thought it would interfere with the high school. The Phelps Golf Course was north of Cedar Lane, east of Teaneck Road. South of Route 4 they had a beautiful clubhouse. We used to have lots of Republican meetings there.
I was with the American Petroleum Institute from Jan.15,1921 to Dec.31, 1959--39 years. I was secretary, assistant treasurer, convention manager. We had conventions all over the United States. Big ones at the Stevens Hotel in Chicago--now the Hilton. We had 6500 members, We'd have as many as 150 committee meetings A week.
I was born in Osealoosa, Iowa, Feb.16. 1892. When I was 11 we moved to Des Moines. I worked a few years for the Rock Island railroad. Then I went to the Railroad Commission in the state of Iowa. When the commissioner moved to Chicago for rate cases he took me with him. I was there two years and was then offered a job with the American Petroleum Institute as a statistician. I went nights to the Walton School of Commerce and got a diploma.
The Blue Bird Inn was an active place in the old days. Benny Rossi ran it. It was popular during prohibition. Lots of political meetings were held there. After Benny sold he opened a place in Park Ridge. His wife was a good cook.
The West Shore Railroad was important. There were lots of commuters. I used to get on at Bogota and ride to Weehawken and go either to 42nd Street or Wall Street. There used to be a group on the 8:05 -- Republicans and democrats.
I had a responsible position in the town. I seldom sat down to the evening meal that some one didn't call wanting a job, a favor or something.
I remember once there was quite a fire on DeGraw Avenue and Queen Anne Road. An invalid grandmother died in the place. It was where there is a gas station now.
As for the excitement when the Taxpayers League took over, I remember one fellow brought a duck or something to the Council room. As for naming Votee Park, I think it's wrong. It should have remained Central Park.
There was a man from Glenwood Park on the school board--named Schulenberger. They generally called on him to vote first and he'd pass--then come back and vote afterwards.
The high school site was all woods. A lot of citizens went there and cut down trees before the building was built. When I was mayor they laid the cornerstone of the High School--1928 or 29. My daughter Mary was in the first graduating class. She did it in 3 1/2 years. My son John was 2 years later.
When I first came here there were about 4,000 people. Now there are about 44,000.
Floyd B. Farrant had an office where the Gulf State gas station is. Later he moved to where James Sweeney's office is. Floyd B. died and his son Floyd H. and daughter Louie Farrant Barnes took over. Farrant developed that area around DeGraw Avenue. The boys used to play baseball where the old A & P was.
When the Town Hall was built they made Jake Brinkerhoff custodian emeritus. He came over from the old town hall where School is now.
My first wife used to go to and give a lot of luncheons. Sometimes she'd take four or five women out for lunch. While I was on the Council, we used to go out with Augie Hanniball and his wife. They lived near the Armory. I remember Joe Kinsley--the former sheriff. He used to live in that Dutch colonial house on River Road. They had an enormous fire place. We used to have meetings there in front of that fireplace. Judge Ferry lives near there.
Where Fairleigh Dickinson is was all a park. Archie Hart had a big house there. Glenwood Park was called Frog Hollow. Bill Lindsay, the chief came from there. His son is now in the fire Department.
Murray was the Chief when I was on the council. He came with the Taxpayers' league. There were three Democrats and two Republicans on the Council. John Kelly was loud spoker I used to say You can't scare me. If you're reasonable, I'm with you. He built all those concrete roads. It turned out to be a good thing, It was Garrison that put in granite curbs.

Manhattan Opens Home Schedule With Doubleheader Split
Click here to view the 2012 Manhattan Softball Yearbook
RIVERDALE, N.Y. - After opening the season with 21 straight contests away from home, the Manhattan College softball team finally took the field at Gaelic Park on Thursday. The Jaspers (2-21) dropped a 9-0 decision to Stony Brook (22-9) in the first game of the doubleheader before rebounding for a 5-2 victory in the nightcap.
Game one was scoreless until the fourth, when Stony Brook rallied for five runs. The big blow in the inning was a bases loaded double by Shayla Giosia. The Seawolves then added four more in the fifth, with Giosia knocking another two-run double.
The Manhattan offense, meanwhile, was unable to mount a rally against Allison Cukrov. The Stony Brook hurler tossed a perfect game, striking out 12 of the 15 Jaspers she faced in the 9-0 victory. Cukrov (13-4) didn't allow a ball to leave the infield, retiring the other three hitters on popups.
Giosia led the Seawolves at the plate, going 3-for-3 with four RBIs and a run scored. Lauren Maloney was 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored, while Suzanne Karath and Alyssa Hawley both scored twice.
Kelsi Redding (Tucson, Ariz.) (0-7) took the loss for the Jaspers. She gave up nine runs (eight earned) on eight hits and struck out one.
In game two, Manhattan got on the board first when Amanda Babcock (Haverstraw, N.Y.) led off the third inning with her first home run of the season, a long solo shot to center field. It would remain 1-0 until the sixth, when the Jasper bats came alive. Meghan McDevitt (Nutley, N.J.) started the rally with a one-out single, then Jen Keller (Woodridge, N.J.) singled to right. Kelly Murray (Leominster, Mass.) followed with a three-run blast to left field that made it 4-0. It marked the second straight season in which Murray hit a three-run homer on Opening Day at Gaelic Park. Immediately after Murray's long ball, Mickayla Romero (Las Vegas, Nev.) increased the Jaspers' lead to 5-0 with her first career home run.
"We've been waiting for that," Head Coach Tom Pardalis said. "It was nice to get some long balls and drive in some runs."
After being held to just two hits through six innings, Stony Brook mounted a rally in the seventh. Bernadette Tenuto flied to center to start the inning before three successive hits led to a pair of runs. The Seawolves brought the tying run to the plate with two outs after Hawley and Karath delivered back-to-back singles to load the bases. However, Maloney lifted a fly ball down the left field line that Anna Gallacher (New Fairfield, Conn.) snagged in foul territory to end the game, giving the Jaspers 5-2 victory and snapping Manhattan's 16-game losing streak.
"It's a big monkey off our back," Pardalis said. "We needed to see that we can win. This game definitely gave the girls some confidence. Hopefully this can take some of the pressure off, and we'll play free and easy like we know we can do."
Amy Bright (Manlius, N.Y.) went the distance in the circle to earn her first collegiate win. Bright (1-5) gave up two runs on seven hits, struck out three and walked three. Six different Jaspers had hits in game two, and all five of Manhattan's runs came via the long ball.
Nicole Schieferstein went 2-for-3 at the plate, while Nicole Hagerty was 1-for-2 with a run scored and an RBI. As a team, the Seawolves collected seven hits in the nightcap. Christine Lucido (4-2) took the loss after allowing five runs and six hits while striking out seven and walking three in six innings of work.
The Jaspers now have nearly a week off before returning to action. Manhattan visits Albany (21-7) for a 3 p.m. doubleheader on Wednesday, April 11.

13 Mysteries of Spring Style, Solved in Seconds
Lubiam, the Italian tailoring operation, is celebrating its 100th anniversary, and this blazer from its L.B.M. 1911 line is minimally structured and expertly made. (The jackets are stitched together with undyed cloth and then garment-dyed to create distinct shades; if you're not a fan of this weathered khaki — which, by the way, goes with pretty much anything — there are plenty more options.) Even better, it doesn't cost a ton, so you can spend your money on the season's other standouts.
On John Freeman, waiter, New York: Two-button cotton-and-linen jacket ($795) by L.B.M. 1911; cotton shirt ($90) by Ascot Chang; cotton trousers ($187) by J Brand; leather belt ($170) by D&G; stainless-steel Infantry Vintage chronograph ($1,695) by Victorinox Swiss Army.
No shortage of gray suits this season, as usual, but for our money, we like this two-piece from Donna Karan's team at DKNY. This mild shade of light gray makes an easy transition from day to night, and its lightweight wool shell ensures comfortable wearing straight through summer. And notice, if you will, the price.

Darwin's Family Legacy: In 2000 Darwin's great, great grandson declared:
"I don't believe in God: how could I, given my great great grandfather's theories? But perhaps I would feel happier if I did. Just because I have rejected conventional religion, it does not mean there isn't a void to be filled."
Sunday Times , (UK) 12 Nov 2000
Evidence News, 16 December 2009
Charles Darwin was a bright young theological graduate, but by the end of his life he had turned his back on God, denied that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and declared Scripture to be "manifestly false". What happened?

Warmest of greetings to you from Jinja, Uganda!
We wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that we've arrived! We are just getting started and already we've seen God's favor at work in absolutely amazing ways! From catching flights and trains on time, to experiencing limited delays, having favor with hotel staff, luggage arriving in tact, smooth flights and ease heading through customs, etc. etc.
God is good!
Based on our 2007 adventure here, we had prepared ourselves, as well as the team, for a real third-world airport experience. Much to our surprise upon arrival, we discovered that the Queen of England (Queen Elizabeth) had preceded us for the Common Wealth Heads of Nation summit. Instead of being greeted by the incredible force of Uganda's heat, and entering a primitive cinder block building, we stepped out onto a cool jet-way that led to marbled tiles. The airport had been transformed, as well as the roads from Entebbe all the way to Jinja making for a pleasant journey to the Pierce's home where we will be staying these next few weeks. Praise God for no flat tires or sore tailbones.
Roses, Thorns, and Buds
As we sat around the dinner table this evening sharing in a Pierce family tradition talking about our roses (highlights of our day), our thorns (challenges that we faced) and buds (what we hope to take away from tomorrow) I was encouraged to see the Lord at work...some of the highlights included: Reunions with the Pierces, experiencing culture in the market place and the worship service at church this evening. Some of the challenges were heat exhaustion resulting in headaches and sunburns, and loss of electricity.
Tomorrow morning we'll have the opportunity to assist with the K-5 school in Don and Danielle's home and in the afternoon we will head to Iguluwibi village to share with the women and children there. Please pray for our outreach with these women and our program with the kids. Pray also for our adjustments to culture and the heat and that the Lord would work not only through us but IN us in powerful ways.
Michelle for the team

Seriously, I totally support these developers but what's the difference from this, and using activator(which is free) to setup these exact same gestures? I mean you can use activator to setup one or two finger slide gestures for calling the multitask menu or home button. I really don't see how this app is relevant aside from the pause your finger for combined effect. Don't hate. Just my .02 cents
i find it better than activater it has a smoother output in the way it follows your finger and activator only has a limited type of guesture and cannot run as smooth zerphyr has a more apple like guesture i guess thats what i like most about it
Dosnt work with dreamboard
I installed this yesterday (before this thread was started) and it didn't work with Activator.
Gunna reinstall it today, in the hope that the two are now fully compatible.
Hi folks! Great forum.
Just downloaded the updated Zephyr 1.1 and while in an app, I can only swipe up to close it. There is to way to half-swipe my finger to the top in order to show the app switcher. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Works like a charm, thanks a lot. May have pulled the finger off to soon.

This particular customer is in Italy, so her local collection society is SIAE, but the same applies in other countries. For example, if you're in the UK, the performing rights society is PRS and if you're in Germany, they are GEMA. But pretty much, the same principles apply.
Many of you will have noticed that whilst you search or browse for music on our site, you always have the option to "Display PRO and Non-PRO Tracks", or "Display Non-PRO Tracks only". But what really is the difference, and when / how / why does it matter?
PRO in this case does not stand for "Professional" as you may first think. It stands for Performing Rights Organization. PRO tracks are composed by composers who are members of Performing Rights Organizations. For those composers, neither we, nor any other stock music site, can legally sell the Performing Rights to their tracks. Non-PRO tracks are composed by composers who are not members of a Performing Rights Organization, and as such, we at Shockwave-Sound.com or other stock music sites can in fact sell you the Performing Rights to their music.
In a music track there are three "rights", three different parts of the copyright:
- Sync rights = The rights to use the music and put it into a media project, such as a film or a video game.
- Mechanical rights = The rights to produce CD's, DVD's or other physical objects that contain the music.
- Performing rights = The rights to broadcast the music on TV or radio, or to play it in a public place (such as a restaurant, cinema, etc.)
Or maybe you are going to make a film about your local city and make 1,000 DVD's of that film. And you want to use our music in your film. Then you need the Sync- rights (to put our music in your film) and you need the Mechanical rights (to manufacture DVD's that contain the film that contains our music). But you don't need the Performing rights, because you have no plans to broadcast this music on TV or Radio, or to play the film in a public place such as a restaurant etc.
|Broadcasters such as NBC, BBC etc
already have performing licenses, so
you don't need one.
So... you see, whether or not you need Non-PRO Tracks, or just any tracks from our site, depends on how you are going to use the music. If you are going to play the music in public, or on your website, then you need the Performing rights. But if you are not going to play the music in public, or on a website, then you don't need the Performing rights. And if you don't need the performing rights, then you can use any tracks from our site.
If you need the Performing Rights to a track, and that track is "Non-PRO", then simply buy the track from our site. With the Non-PRO tracks you are buying all three rights from us.
If you need the Performing Rights to a track and that track is "PRO", then you have to buy that right from the performing rights society in your country. From our site you can buy only the two other rights; the Sync rights and the Mechanical rights.
As it turns out, the vast majority of our customers do not need the performing rights. They only need the Sync- and or Mechanical rights. And if that's the case, it doesn't matter if you choose "PRO" or "Non-PRO" tracks. Many royalty-free music websites don't even tell you which tracks are PRO and which are Non-PRO, because they figure it is so unlikely that you actually need the Performing Rights, that they don't want to confuse you with PRO vs Non-PRO music.
On our website you can choose to browse only Non-PRO tracks if you like. As you Search or Browse for music tracks on our website, take a note of the options: "Display PRO and Non-PRO Tracks" / "Display Non-PRO Tracks only" options on top of the list of tracks.
I hope this has been helpful.

POMONA - Alexis Ayala went through a series of vision tests Monday at Western University of Health Science.
Those tests told a team of optometrists just how they could help him make better use of his limited vision.
Alexis, a senior at Hemet's Tahquitz High School, has X link retinosckesis, a condition in which layers of the retina don't seal together, said Robert Gordon, a doctor of optometry and associate dean of clinical affairs at the university's College of Optometry.
The teen has the problem in both eyes but it is more severe in one than the other.
After going through the tests Gordon and his team were able to recommend several devises that will allow their patient to maximize the vision he has.
"We can give him a simple pair of glasses to read," Gordon said.
With the help of a monocular, he will be able to see the classroom board and with "a surgical telescope, like the ones surgeons use, he will work with his hands," Gordon said.
The latter is particularly important since Alexis wants to become an auto mechanic.
Alexis was among several students tested during Monday's Low Vision Clinic Day at the university held in partnership with the Northern California-based California School for the Blind.
Through the partnership the university provides assessments to students who are visually impaired.
The exams are arranged through a student's special education teacher who works with the family to complete an application, said Nikki Blackburn, teacher for the visually impaired for San Bernardino City Unified School District and coordinator for the California School for the Blind Low Vision Clinics at Western.
The assessments bring together a student, his parents and teacher and the university's team so they can determine what challenges the student faces at home and at school, Blackburn said.
The university team goes over a student's opthamologists report to familiarize themselves with the child's or teen's medical condition and the university optometrists then work on assisting the student make "the best use of their vision," she said.
By working together parents and teachers can then discuss making adjustments in the school and home setting that will benefit the student, said Linda Pang, doctor of optometry and coordinator of Low Vision Services at the College of Optometry.

Group 7 - Sony VCR
Executive Summary
The objective of this project was to dissect and analyze the internal components and systems of a Sony VCR model number SLV-751HF. The page below documents the step by step process used to dissect and interpret the operation of the product. Before starting dissection, the VCR was tested for proper performances, and was found to be inoperable as a VHS cassette reader, but was able to receive input signals and output them to the TV. As the product was disassembled a log of parts and tools used was kept as a record of dissection information. Once disassembled, the VCR was analyzed and observed to determine how it operates. At this point the reasons for inoperability were discovered. After sufficient research and reassembly of the VCR, suggestions were made for improvements and modifications to maximize consumer satisfaction.
A VCR provides an interface that allows users to view and hear recorded media. The Sony Model VCR provides a control interface that allow the user to control the functions of the VCR (play, pause, fast forward, etc.). Concurrently, the VCR has A/V and coaxial inputs and outputs that allow for a link between the viewing medium and another output device.
Before the Disassembly
Purpose of the VCR
The purpose of the VCR is to provide consumers with an affordable in-home method of viewing and recording VHS cassette tapes. A VCR can also be used to watch, record, or export external media sources via the coaxial and audio/visual inputs and outputs. For example, the VCR can receive cable transmitted TV stations, via the coaxial inputs, or view videos housed on a video camera through the A/V inputs.
Hypothesized Operation
A VCR operates by receiving power from a wall outlet, and converts it to usable electricity for the rest of the VCR. When a VHS tape is put in the cassette is put onto a reel, which spins the magnetic tape, progressively reading the data on this tape. This data is then converted to usable data, and then sent to the television screen through either the coaxial or A/V outputs.
The product was tested before disassembly, by plugging it into the wall outlet and turning it on. Immediately observed, was the fact that the VCR distributed power properly, as indicated by the lighting up and proper operation of the LCD display. A VHS cassette was then inserted into the tape loader, but was unable to be read, because it got stuck during a mechanical motion (assumedly being put into place for reading). The problem that arose during testing was assumed to be a mechanical glitch due to the knocking sound made from the VCR in a location near the front of the VCR, such as an arm hitting another arm, which would hopefully be easy to fix. The A/V and coax inputs and outputs were then tested by connecting an XBOX 360, and the cable signal from the wall, respectively to the VCR. Each was able to properly output a signal to the screen and speakers.
Assumed Components and Materials
Before dissecting the VCR assumptions were made about the components and materials. The estimated number of components was around thirty separate parts. Materials used were assumed to be:
- Aluminum
- Copper
- Gold for circuitry
- Plastics
- LED lights
- Magnetic alloys
- Rubbers
This is the process we used to disassemble the VCR. Once the main shell pieces are removed most of the inside components can be removed in any order.

Parts Description
Each part has its own functional goal to meet as well as preform and be physically appealing to its consumers.
- Power supply
- -The power supply's purpose is to convert household outlet power into usable forms for the VCR's components to use. It's built compactly to fit behind the tape deck and it's circuit board within the frame. It's gray and the metal is unfinished since its out of view inside the housing. The power supply is inside a metal shell to protect the surround plastic and other electrical components inside the frame near by.
- Circuit boards
- -The boards provide a circuit path to all the components in the VCR as well as hold most of the electrical components. It's built to hold all the necessary pieces in an organized and compact fashion without expanding the overall size of the unit. It's also unfinished and exposing all its wires to visually see where the paths are going and to keep as open to cooling as possible. The boards are made from the certain materials to remain sturdy for components and durable to heat changes.
- Control panel
- -The control panel allows for user input into the system to control its function. It's built to look good to personal preferences while providing useful operations. It's smooth and painted with easy to read text. The panel has to blend into the unit and be useful to the users.
- Wire bundles
- -The wire bundles carry electrical signals through the unit. It's built to easily make connections between boards and components. They are multicolored strands. The bundles are light and flexible to make it easy to work around other parts of the VCR like the frame and have easy recognition with it's colors.
- Power cord
- -The power cord carries the electrical power from outlets to the power supply in the back of the unit. It's built to give the user a way of powering the VCR in any location in a home. It's painted black in color to blend in and not be noticeable upon focus and draw attention away from it. The cord is flexible and easy to work with in small, varying environments.
- Tape Deck
- -The tape deck's purpose is to hold VHS tapes and record the information into signals that the VCR uses to display its pictures and sound. It's built to fit the VHS tapes and be able to feed the tape through its readers and wind back up into the VHS. It's unfinished metal exposed along with its plastic components. The deck is made from metal to hold all its components and take the stress of the tape feeding through its parts as well as the VHS spinning its feeders on its parts.
- Tape Loader
- -The tape loader feeds the tape onto the deck as well as ejecting the tape when the user wants to remove it. It's built snugly hold VHS tapes and secure it to the tape deck. It's plastic is painted black so it blends in when people insert and remove tapes it blends in. The loader has a metal surround the tape to remove the chances of breaking that might happen to plastic over time lifting and moving VHS tapes.
- Housing
- -The housing protects the components inside of the VCR. It's built to fit over all the components and frame and keep users out while having openings for ventilation in high heat areas. It painted a stone gray color to look good in appearance and match the rest of its outside visible parts. The housing is made from aluminum to be durable in movement and absorb heat off the components.
- Frame
- -The frame gives a rigid support to attach all the components to as well as seal off the system. It's built to fit all the parts and maximize space while keeping its overall size small. It's painted black to provide a contrast to all the components inside of the VHS. The frame gives the unit's components protection from damage and space out the parts to minimize heat.
- Connections/bridges
- -The connections/bridges provide connections between board's circuits. It's built to fit inside the frame and fit onto the circuit boards. It's exposed wire and plastic since users wont see the part. The connections/bridges are flexible to allow for different distances between boards to be connected with the same part.
- Display
- -The display shows the user what the VCR is currently doing as well as provide useful information about the VHS tape or other things it may be doing. It's built to fit in front of the unit while being large enough to read. It's made to match the rest of the parts in the front and flow with the overall look of the unit. The display's clear coating allows users to read the light material and process data.
- Rear panel cover
- -The rear panel cover is to provide information on the inputs and outputs on the back off the VCR. It's built to fit on the back of the frame where all the plugs come out of the unit from one of the circuit boards. It's black in color to match the frame. The panel is made separate from the frame because its easier to print the information on a small cut piece of plastic instead of the large frame.
- Feet
- -The feet provide a balance to the system so it sits level in its location. It's built to fit underneath the VCR and be the same height as the feet on the base piece. They're black to match the unit and not be noticeable. The feet have rubber on the bottom to give the unit grip so it doesn't move around once you set it in place.
- Spacers
- -The spacers provide rigidity in the unit in areas where pressure by a user carrying it may damage components inside the VCR. It's made to fit in its two different locations. The are white in color to be easily identifiable. The spacers protect important parts from harm and hold weak areas together in the unit.
- Base
- -The Base seals the bottom of the VCR. It's made to fit the frame of the unit. It's unfinished metal since it's underneath and not noticeable. The base is hard and gives some support to components attached to the frame and heat sinks the boards while keeping them off the ground with its feet.
We mostly reversed the order in which we removed each part from the frame and put the surrounding panels back on.

Assembly Diagram
This image assists with placement of the major components inside the frame and outer surrounding pieces. As explain in our assembly processes, the circuit boards will be the first to get placed inside the frame from the bottom and in front of the frame. Then the power supply can be added and all the wire bundles and connections/bridges attached. Finally all the main body panels are added and secured into place. Its that simple and can be done with no more than a pair of hands and a Phillips screwdriver.
How the VCR Works
Viewing a VHS tape
This video shows how a VCR loads a tape onto the tray and pulls the tape around its reading components. This isn't the VCR shown throughout the page that model was non-functioning from the outset of the project.

The tape deck contains many rotating heads on it that each serve its own function. The first one that a VHS tape will pass is the erasing head on the left hand side. This piece clears the material off the tape before reaching the writing head. The writing head is the large silver drum in the back portion. It's angled a bit so the groves along the head can etch frames of video into the tape. Next it reaches a cleaning brush that wipes away access material before the optical head. This is where the etches are processed into images that we see on TV screens. Finally the tape reaches and audio head that translates sounds off the tape. The tape then gets wound back up into the VHS tape. The audio and video signals read from the tape are then sent a converter box which relays the signals to the motherboard. The motherboard relays the signals to the A/V and coaxial outputs for viewing on a television or other compatible medium.
Controlling the VCR
When the user wants to preform an operation on the VCR they press a button on the control panel. This signal is then sent through jumpers to the circuit board with the LCD display. This signal is relayed to the motherboard where it is processes and sent back to the display to show what action was taken as well as to the circuit board under the tape deck which performs the operation on the VHS tape.
The VCR runs on 120 V alternating current not in excess of 25 A. This current is converted by the power supply to direct current that the VCR can use.
Analyses and Testing
Model Assumptions
- A VCR will on average be used 3 times a week
- Product lifespan 10 years
- 3 uses/week*52 weeks/year*10 years = 15,600 uses
- 15,600 uses * 3 =46800 uses (error allowance)
- Test one out of every 1,000 tape loaders
- Use a machine to simulate inserting and ejecting tape
- If tape loader reaches 50,000 then pass the batch
- If tape loader fails before 50,000 further testing required
Further testing
- Test 5 tape decks of the group of 1000 that failed
- If one of 5 fails discard batch
- If all 5 tape decks pass, release batch
- Maintain record of pass/fail, and batches tested for future reference
Reflection on Disassembly/Assembly
The disassembly and reassembly, were hardly labor intensive, requiring only use of hand, a Phillips head screwdriver, and pliers on rare occasion. The reason for such ease in deconstruction and reconstruction was, the product is designed in separate modular components. Reassembling the VCR was almost the exact reverse of the dissection, although many different reassembly processes could have been chosen. The steps used to put the VCR back together were chosen based upon the initial deconstruction by the group. In rebuilding the VCR the same screwdriver was used, however, it was manageable to put the product back together, without reusing the pliers. The entire product was reassembled to the original configuration initially given, with the exception of a repaired gear in the tape loader, which originally did not work.
Design Changes
For the time period
- Make the device smaller
- Layered printing of circuit boards - Reduce empty space by stacking circuit boards and including a fan for cooling - Smaller front control panel by reducing the size of large buttons
- Second tape deck for recording or dual play of VHS tapes
- Include a receiver for better audio quality and amplification
Modern Improvements
- Include DVD player for recording VHS to DVD and convenience of an all in one media player
- MP3 Line in to allow music playback
- Manufacture
- Plastic clips to hold secure circuit boards to frame to reduce manufacture time and separate components
- Maintenance
- Use more durable backings of buttons to reduce tendency to break and malfunction over time
- Recycle
- Use more plastic parts for ease of recycling

Whereas the UH Board of Regents Policies specify that "Units' overall plans for general education are developed cooperatively by faculty and administrators and approved by the Board of Regents. Detailed general education requirements are clearly and accurately described in official campus publications. (Board-approved core and general education plans for the respective units are made a part of this section and located at the end of the chapter)" (BOR Policies, Academic Affairs 5-12.b); and
Whereas the Board-approved "end-of-the-chapter" general education plans referenced above include, under "General Education at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa," separate "UHM Core Requirements" and "Special UHM Graduation Requirements" (BOR Policies, Academic Affairs, pp. 5-24 and 5-25); and
Whereas the WASC standards under which UHM is accredited state that an accredited "institution's faculty exercises effective academic leadership and acts consistently to ensure both academic quality and the appropriate maintenance of the institution's educational purposes and character" (WASC Handbook/2001, The Standards 3.11); and
Whereas UHM must comply with the WASC Standards Guideline which says that an accredited "institution has a program of General Education that is integrated throughout the curriculum, including at the upper division level" (WASC Handbook/2001, The Standards 2.2); and

Love the concept - a little unsturdy
By Linda
from Crystal Lake, IL
I love this product. BUT my husband and son had a little bit of a difficult time tightening the center bands. One or two of them would NOT tighten, thus making it a little unsturdy as you stand it between floor and ceiling. Mine seems to be leaning against the wall, so each tier doesn't turn as easily, but at least it's not falling over. SO FAR - hubby has not gotten to the job of trying to figure out how to make it sturdier....

"Instant" it's not
By Megan's best friend
from Waltham, Ma
The product fills all the "pros" listed above, but if you are untrained in putting together items (as I am), it is not in any way "instant" as the first word of the product description claims. There are no words, only pictures, for directions. The pictures are not to scale, and it is sometimes hard to distinguish which part is which. Your best best to sort things out is to count the number of items that are the same. If there are seven circular looking objects, then that part is probably part H". To attach the clamps around the rod, you must insert a clamp screw, then use the Allen wrench to fasten the screw and tighten the clamp. This even I get. But you have to have a jeweller's sense of fine motor coordination to get the screws into the clamp. And the product comes with only the right number of screws--no extras. I did a lot of searching within my rug and the wooden floor around it. My dog thought it was curious to see me down there. Anyway, it's up and running and does the job.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Poorly engineered
By Sgt Maj
from San Diego, CA
The shoe racks are held up by a plastic ring secured to the center post with a single set screw. With this configuration anything over three pairs of shoes on each rack, designed for six pair, caused the racks to slide down the pole to the base. I solved the problem with hose clamps purchased from the hardware store. To top it off, the wordless directions are so tiny as to be almost unusable.

Shoe Rack
By jrg742
from Stevensville, MT
The design is sound. An extra collar should be included to replace one that might break.

Sturdy, excellent
By Too-many-shoes
from Toronto, Ontario
This is a sturdy, space-saving, and efficient shoe rack.It took about 45 minutes to put together, mostly because the small parts are in plastic bags and not labelled. I recommend sorting the parts first on a table, in the order they're identified on the parts list (by picture and quantity). This will make assembly much easier.
Don't buy!

Way to flimsy. Would not recommend this product.

It sure gets shoe clutter from the close
By Sunshine
from Shepherdsville, KY
My husband has a large foot and so his shoes are quite heavy and bulky. So, I wish it were a little stronger. It seems to weave a little when you spin it to get to other shoes. Otherwise, I really like it.

Quality shoe storage
By M
from Palo Alto, CA
This space saving shoe organizer neatly holds my entire family's regularly worn shoes and keeps the floor clutter free. It has replaced bulky shelves and messy baskets and bins that I've previously used to store shoes. Added bonus: my kids put their shoes there without being asked to.
very practical space saver
By jeronimus

Very practical space saver in clost. Illustration of some of the parts in the directions was not very clear and was somewhat challenging

What is this cup from which Christ said He must drink? What does it signify?
Each time we drink this grape juice as part of the observance of The Lord's Supper, that fruit of the vine which reminds us of our Saviour's blood shed for us, we drink all of it remembering that Christ drank from the cup of God's wrath and finished all of it so we would not have to drink from it! Christ "drank damnation dry" for each one for whom He died.
The second stanza of Anne Cousin's hymn, "O Christ, What Burdens Bowed Thy Head" sums it up best:
Death and the curse were in our cup: O Christ, 'twas full for Thee;
But Thou hast drained the last dark drop, 'Tis empty now for me.
That bitter cup, love drank it up; Now blessing's draught for me.
This message was delivered to prepare the hearts of the congregation before the observance of The Lord's Supper.

Hi, after successfully running an injection test on my AP using aireplay-ng I went to my router (D-Link WBR-1310) to look at the logs to see if I could see the mac of the adapter. I clicked all options in the menu but found nothing. Currently using firmware version 4.13 for the router, if anyone who has the router and knows where to look could you please tell me (I can see my stations but not my wifi cards mac). Or is aireplay-ng passive?
How can it be passive if it's injecting packets?

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College has
created a new scholarship to encourage the development of future
church leaders.
Beginning in fall 2013, the Wesley Scholars Church Leaders Program
will award two full scholarships a year to incoming freshmen who
are interested in pursuing a career in church leadership. The
scholarship will cover tuition, room and board.
Named in honor of Methodism's founder, John
Wesley, the purpose of the new scholarship program is to
"attract and educate future leaders of the church," said LWC Dean
of the Chapel Terry Swan.
In less than a decade, LWC's Christian ministries program has grown into
one of the top majors among the more than 100 United
Methodist-related colleges and universities in the United States,
Swan said. LWC was founded in 1903 by the Louisville Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South; it is now affiliated with
the Kentucky
Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church.
In addition to a bachelor of arts in Christian ministries, LWC
offers a minor in Christian ministries.
"Our Christian ministries bachelor's program is already a national
model," said Swan, who developed the major.
LWC's Wesley Scholars Program is open to prospective students of
all faiths, Swan said.
"Most teenagers and young adults no longer think
denominationally," he said. "Lindsey Wilson has a history of true
ecumenism and the 'catholic spirit' John Wesley spoke of so
To apply for the scholarship, students must be active members of a
church, have a minimum cumulative high school grade point average
of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale and letters of reference.
Students selected for the scholarship may choose any LWC major,
but they must also concurrently either double major or minor in
Christian ministries. Recipients of the scholarship will be
required to be involved in community-service initiatives and work
with the LWC chaplain's office.
"We think this program will be a great way to draw in the next,
exceptional generation of Christian leaders," Swan said.
To Apply ...
To apply for the Wesley Scholarship Program, students
should: complete an application to Lindsey Wilson College and the
Wesley Scholars Program; complete the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid; submit letters of reference from a pastor and teacher;
and attend Wesley Scholars Day on March 23. For more information,

I am ready to go with off-beat whites but a note on a chilled red I opened last night.
WTN: `07 Matane Negroamaro Puglia.
Joint venture between importer Empson and winemakers Sciotti and Baccalaro. 13.5% alc, $16 Cdn, small natural cork, chilled and opened one hour.
The color is almost black in the centre, violet tinges on the rim. Intense nose of strawberry, spice, berries and blackcurrant.
Black cherry to forefront on entry, soft tannins, juicy when chilled. "Not too rustic eh" from across the table. Has some ripe sweetness, medium-bodied but could use some pepper? I figured it had some brambleberry that one associates with Primitivo.
Warming up to room temp, I found the finish a tad on the bitter side and not as approachable.
Great with braised leg of lamb, parsnips and herbed carrots. Chilled, I think might work with duck.

Going back to work
How do I get over the anxiety of going back to work and leaving my son with a nanny? My husband and I have no choice but to work all day. How can I ease the anxiety?

I like to encourage moms to gradually transition back to work slowly..one day a week, then 2 days...starting off part time...then add more days as your able.
Most new moms find that this system helps them transition back to work and the separation anxiety is less on mom and baby this way.
Some moms have found leaving work and going home for your lunch and or breaks..to nurse baby or even to cuddle your little one.
It would be awesome if your work place is close to your home.
If not try the above suggestions and I'm sure everything will transition smoothly for you all.

Is your home near to your office? I think it is good if your home is near to your office. You can check your baby during breaks like lunch or coffee break. It is important that you trust the one who will take care of your baby. I think you should leave her to your mom's or to your trusted relatives. Maybe a part time job can help you. You can spend lots of time with your baby.

Sen. Mike Lee addressed a big conservative gathering just outside Washington last weekend, with a call to return society to the point where everyone took care of each other rather than relying on government to do so.
And then there was the pudding story.
Lee told the Conservative Political Action Conference that he was on a trip to southern Utah once with his family and opted to try the salad bar at a fast-food spot so he could impress his wife that he wasn't just scarfing down hamburgers. A buffet of "healthy greens and dreadfully nutritious vegetables" awaited him.
"I was quite uninspired for an appetizing lunch that day when to my great surprise and delight at the very end of the salad bar I found chocolate pudding," Lee told the crowd.
But after snatching up a good portion and hiding it behind a row of greens, Lee took a bite of the pudding only to discover it was rancid and spoiled. Searching out an employee to warn the restaurant, Lee found a teenage girl who rolled her eyes at his concern.
"I'm not on the salad," the girl told Lee.
" 'I'm not on salad,' " Lee repeated the girl. "Instead of that shoulder shrugging, what we need in this town, in Washington, is some serious shoulder squaring, in the sense of [bringing back a] civil society. In that sense, we are all 'on salad.' "
Next time, the senator might want to opt for the burger.
Balanced bragging • During a hearing last week on the proposed Dwight D. Eisenhower memorial in the nation's capital, the former president's granddaughter just had to brag.
Her grandfather, Susan Eisenhower told a House Natural Resources subcommittee, balanced the budget three times in his eight years in office and reduced the debt.
In a Congress that hasn't been able to balance the budget in some 15 years, Susan Eisenhower's comment just rubbed it in a little too much.
"Don't gloat," Rep. Rob Bishop shot back to laughter from the audience.
Hatch, the deal-maker? • In a speech trashing the Democrats' budget proposal for not taking more steps to reduce the nation's debt, Sen. Orrin Hatch was nostalgic for a time when members of Congress more easily sought compromise instead of producing competing plans.
And he hinted of his openness to returning to his glory days as a senator, when he was known for striking accords with Democrats such as Ted Kennedy, Joe Biden and Henry Waxman.
"Admittedly, we need to have both parties working together. We used to do that. I used to be part of that; I wouldn't mind being part of that again," he said on the Senate floor. "But we have got to find some way of getting together and getting these fiscal problems under control."
Perfect gift • Hatch celebrated his 79th birthday on Friday and Facebook helpfully suggested his friends and acquaintances might want to send him a gift. The site suggested a Starbucks gift card. As one faithful reader pointed out, the site still hasn't perfected its algorithm when it comes to members of the LDS faith.
