Years of exposure to sweet syrupy pop turned Sweden into a breeding ground for punks such as Millencolin, writes George Palathingal.
Where Big Day Out, Sydney Showground, Olympic Park, Homebush Bay
When Tomorrow, 2.20pm at the Orange Stage
More information The Big Day Out is sold out
The Swedish music scene - particularly the punk rock scene - has gone into overdrive. First the Hives came out of nowhere and made what they've been doing for years sound fresh. And those who saw the International Noise Conspiracy play last October witnessed some of the most exhilarating shows of last year.
Skate-punks Millencolin - they're named after the skate trick "melancholy" and are into skate culture - are also on top form these days. Last year they released their fifth album proper (Home from Home) and celebrated their 10th anniversary together.
The icing on the (anniversary) cake is their slot on the Big Day Out tour. Particularly at this time of year.
"Here, cold weather is coming up, so it's very nice to go to the summer for us," says Nikola Sarcevic, the band's vocalist, chief songwriter and bassist, from his Gothenburg home.
"Big Day Out is a tour we've been hoping to get on for a couple of years. Now we have the chance we're looking forward to it."
It's a far cry from the band's first visit to these shores.
"Back in '96 we slept on floors and ... I think we played two shows every day, in very small places or squats," the singer recalls.
"We actually flew into Sydney ... but then the first show was in Adelaide! So we got into a small van and drove, I dunno, 26 hours.
And then the show in Adelaide wasn't that good either."
Millencolin have come a long way since then. Timing, as they say, is everything and the band have found themselves bringing their likeable punk-pop sound to the eager masses at a time when, thanks to like-minded rockers such as Blink-182, it has rarely been so popular.
Sarcevic is grateful for the success his music has brought him and cherishes his ties to the influential punk labels that helped Millencolin on their way: Burning Heart (in Sweden) and Epitaph (in the US).
Yet he's not immersed in the scene in the way you'd expect.
"I don't really listen that much to punk rock," he says. "I like playing it and writing songs that are sort of Millencolin songs. But what I'm into? At the moment it's mostly older music, like early Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel."
Sarcevic became a father for the first time last year to a daughter, Tea, but denies his surprising recent musical cravings have anything to do with becoming a family man and mellowing out.
"I've always been into all different kinds of music ... it's not because of her," he says.
He does, however, admit that the new arrival has had a considerable impact on Millencolin as well as himself.
"Lately I haven't really been thinking too much about the band - I've been busy," he says. "I'm actually bringing my family [to Australia]. Since there are not too many shows I thought it would be a good opportunity to bring them - even though it's a very long tour and my girl is very small. But I think she'll manage."
It seems these Swedish punks are not as intense as the last to visit here. International Noise Conspiracist Dennis Lyxzen bombarded listeners with his political views, but Millencolin have no such agenda.
"It's not something that I feel that I have a need to write about, politics," he says.
"We don't really have a message ... and I guess that's our message! We're just saying who we are and what we do in life and what we think about. It's not like we're saying what's right and wrong in the world. I don't believe in that - telling other people what's right and wrong - because it's not that simple, I think."
Millencolin did venture into Sweden's exploding cinema scene, but its only foray was less than successful.
"Our song was in the trailer for a Swedish movie that was the worst movie of the year! It was called Naked and it was about somebody who ran around in the streets being naked ..."

GetAbout plan draws a crowd
Controversial trail dropped from project list.
Published Wednesday, July 23, 2008
For more than 3½ hours last night, a line of residents snaked from the podium to the back of a packed Columbia City Council chamber as residents waited patiently for their three minutes to weigh in on the GetAbout Columbia project.
Some expressed support and some opposition, and in the end the city council scrapped one of the most controversial projects proposed.
The city council held the special meeting to gather public comment on how to allocate the remaining $13 million of funding available for the GetAbout Columbia project.
Columbia received $22 million in grant money in 2006 from the Federal Highway Administration to encourage residents to use forms of nonmotorized transportation, such as bicycling or walking, instead of vehicles. In 2010, the city will be measured on how well it achieved this goal.
The city already has allocated $9 million, including $3 million for promotion and education, $1.5 million for payroll and supplies, $1 million for three intersection improvements under way and $2 million for street markings, six minor intersection improvements and way-finding signs.
During last night's public hearing, which lasted a total of six hours, the council considered a list of about $17 million worth of projects to prioritize.
Two projects on the list of 18 received the most comments from the public: a neighborhood connector to the MKT trail from the end of South Garth Avenue, and a trail along the Hinkson Creek from Stadium Boulevard north to Rock Hill Park, with a neighborhood connector to Bluffdale Drive.
Mayor Darwin Hindman said he believed the proposed Hinkson Creek trail was critical to link the area to the University of Missouri campus. "When you're looking at an interconnected system, to be able to get to campus is important," Hindman said. "People in this area are only a short distance from the university, but they have to go to Stadium or Broadway and travel three or four times the distance."
Sixth Ward Councilwoman Barbara Hoppe, who lives on Bluffdale Drive, said she disagreed because of the steep terrain the trail would traverse from Hinkson Creek to Rock Hill Park and up Rollins Street.
"As the bird flies, it looks like a great idea, but the Rock Hill portion is steeper than going up the hills on Stadium or Broadway," Hoppe said.
Hindman said he also didn't buy Bluffdale Drive residents' reasons for opposing the trail, which included concerns of increased trash, vagrancy and crime. Hindman said if the city listened to those familiar fears regarding trails, the MKT wouldn't exist.
With all of the other projects the council was considering, Hoppe said, it didn't make sense to push a contentious, $1.6 million trail. "It's much better for people to want to hook into it in the future than shoving it down their throats, saying, 'I know you hate it, but one day you'll love it,'" Hoppe said. "It just seems that's not the right way to go, no matter how much funding we have."
Fourth Ward Councilman Jerry Wade said he couldn't support the project because of its adverse environmental impact.
"This is the one project that I think is totally incompatible with the geography," Wade said. "Just because we have the ability with our machines to drive through and overcome bad geography doesn't mean we should."
Fifth Ward Councilwoman Laura Nauser said because funding is limited, the easiest way to slim down the list is to eliminate the controversial projects.
The council eliminated the Hinkson Creek project and agreed to postpone construction. It also decided to design the Garth Avenue connector but hold off on construction until funding becomes available.
To bring the projects within budget, council members transferred $1 million from the way-finding budget, which will install signs for the trails, to keep infrastructure projects.
They also agreed to remove the Wabash walkway plan to build a multiuse trail along railroad tracks with the option of adding it back, possibly as a gravel trail, if funding becomes available.

Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes (375ML Futures Pre-Sale) 2011
Other Dessert from Sauternes, Bordeaux, France
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Superlively, with orange blossom, white cherry, pineapple, apricot and peach flavors all bouncing off one another. The long, piecrust-framed finish lets it all hang together nicely. Barrel Sample: 94-97"
Wine Enthusiast - "Opulent and finessed, this has great weight, and scents of ripe fruit and botrytis. Stylish flavors of yellow fruit, citrus and cinnamon combine with bright acidity on the rich palate.
Barrel Sample: 95-97 Points"
International Wine Cellar - "Bright golden yellow. Intense, deep aromas of ripe citrus, kiwi and guava are complicated by marmaladey smoky botrytis and a touch of honeyed mango, decadent notes that are rare in 2011 Sauternes. Very rich in the mouth, displaying extremely pure tropical fruit and acacia honey flavors that are given clarity and cut by harmonious acidith. Finishes very long and pure, with uncanny freshness that keeps this opulent wine light on its feet. This is far richer than most other 2011 Sauternes yet retains the vintage's freshness and crispness. Just three tries were carried out this year and the first one was done essentially to remove dirty, unhealthy-looking grapes. This is the best young Suduiraut of the last 15 years.
Range: 94-97"
James Suckling - "A Sauternes that grows on the palate with beautiful dried pineapple, honey and spice character. Full and compacted with a dense palate and a sweet palate. 150 grams of residual sugar. Long and very intense with so much going on. Lively. Subtle and changes all the time in the glass.
Barrel Sample: 95-96 Points"
The Wine Advocate - "Picked over three tries through the vineyard from September 12 until October 5, the Suduiraut 2011 has 150 grams per liter residual sugar counterbalanced by a pH of 3.7. It has an intense nose, albeit one that takes time to unfurl in the glass, offering attractive notes of citrus lemon, minerals, apricot and quince suffused with great tension. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, citrus-led fruit mingling with apricot and quince. It has less bravura and ambition than the 2009 or 2010, and you might consider it a Barsac-like Suduiraut due to its racy acidity. It has wonderful focus and satisfying length, and it should drink well both early and with age. Drink 2014-2035.
Barrel Sample: 93-95 Points"

Chateau Suduiraut Winery
Château Suduiraut is a perfect example of 18th century architecture: noble, stately and full of light. The château is surrounded by magnificent gardens designed by Le Notre, which make the estate even more attractive. The soil is composed of sandy clay and gravel.
Suduiraut is located in the commune of Preignac in the heart of the Ciron valley. The Château's privileged position fosters, from the month of September onwards, the growth of botrytis cinerea (the famous "noble rot") on the grapes. These are picked one by one in several waves. After the grapes have been pressed, the must is fermented in oak barrels for 18 to 24 months before bottling. View all Chateau Suduiraut Wines
About Sauternes and BarsacView a map of Sauternes and Barsac wineries (saw-TURN & BAR-sak)
Liquid Gold
The regions of Sauternes & Barsac are both located southeast of Graves, almost directly south of St-Émilion, and hug the Garonne River as it curves. Both areas are dedicated to producing sweet, white wines. The rains, the mists, the humidity and the climate, all help foster the necessary mold that leads to the unfortified, but lusciously sweet wines produced there.
Notable Facts
Semillon is the primary grape here as it takes well to bortrytis, also known as "noble rot." Sauvignon Blanc is used in the blend to add acidity to the richer, thicker Semillon. The process for making the sweet wines of Sauternes and Barsac is long, labored and costly. After it has reached maximum ripeness, the Semillon grapes are left on the vine until they are infected with botrytis. This helpful mold then shrivels the grapes, concentrating the sugars but maintaining the acids. Weather is not always agreeable and berries must be picked at just the right moment, all by hand. The grapes yield less juice than dry wines, due to their shriveled and concentrated state. Some houses, like the famed Chateau d'Yquem, will not make a wine in a less-than-perfect year. All these factors lead to highly prized, and often expensive, wine. However, the taste is well worth it. In the palate the wines of Sauternes & Barsac are luscious and sweet, yet with the balanced acidity to keep them from being too cloying or candied.Wines with the Sauternes AC must be sweet - dry wines are labeled under the Graves or Bordeaux AC. Barsac wines may be labeled either Barsac AC or Sauternes AC. Typically, Barsac wines are a little lighter in body and less intense than Sauternes.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Although Noel Noël Coypel is primarily known as one of the principal producers of decorative paintings for Louis XIV at the palaces of the Tuileries, the Louvre, and Versailles, he is also renowned for such important ecclesiastical commissions as the well-known painting of "The The Martyrdom of St. James" James in Notre Dame, Paris. Stylistically his mature works show the influence of Charles Le Brun; but his earlier paintings were in the manner of Poussin, and for this reason he was sometimes called Coypel le Poussin.

|You are in: Golf: The Open
Sunday, 21 July, 2002, 17:01 GMT 18:01 UK
Shots to remember - round four
Memorable shots from Sunday's final round when Gary Evans and Ernie Els salvaged pars from seemingly impossible situations.
If there was ever any doubt of Ernie Els' credentials as an Open champion, he provided proof of them at the par-three 13th.
The South African stood at the tee with a two-shot cushion but his challengers were coming at him thick and fast - a par was essential.
And then he dumped his tee shot into one of the five cavernous bunkers lurking around the green.
It was the same bunker that David Park had taken eight shots to get out of earlier in the day.
But despite being wedged up against the sheer side of the sand trap, Els produced a breathtaking shot which cleared the high bunker lip and landed a couple of feet from the pin.
It left him the simplest of tap-ins for his par.
It was an emotional day for Gary Evans, and it all hinged on the 17th hole.
The Englishman was outright leader of The Open when his second shot on the 546-yard par-five 17th found the rough.
Worse still, an extensive search by players, officials and members of the public failed to locate the ball in the wild grasses of Muirfield and he had to take a drop shot back on the fairway.
With his six-under status under threat, Evans this time put his approach somewhere near the green, but he still had a great deal to do.
His reaction was unsurprising then, as he sank a monstrous putt across the green.
He then high-fived just about everybody he could find and then mouthed the words "that's for you mum" into the BBC television camera.
Evans knew he had retained the lead in The Open - and that he had given viewers around the world a special moment with which to remember Muirfield 2002.

text: nice bag at a steal. Thanks! Couldn't pass it up. I have a briefcase, carry on roller, backpack but no nice duffle/handbag. Knew there was no way I'd get another one that nice around that price range and I have been SUPER happy with their footwear. Guidi makes GREAT leather stuff at a fantastic price when on discount/slightly pre-owned. I think the reverse horse is going to not only wear well, but look even better in person than it does online. Seller also said he's pretty sure it was purchased in Paris during their first season of making bags. That's going to be pretty awesome if true.

Join as a member. There's a certificate with your name on it.
This project is not covered by Drupal's security advisory policy.
Provides a user interface to allow Drupal to bypass the token security check when generating image derivatives.
Drupal 7.20 comes with a security fix that changes all image derivative URLs generated by Drupal to append a token as a query string. ("Image derivatives" are copies of images which the Drupal Image module automatically creates based on configured image styles; for example, thumbnail, medium, large, etc.)
As an example, links that previously pointed to a URL like: /sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/field/image/example.png
will now point to a URL like: /sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/field/image/example.png?itok=zD_VaCaD
For more information on the security improvement, visit the release notes.
This is a fantastic security improvement, but in certain cases, has some ramifications. This module provides a configuration setting in order to toggle whether or not Drupal bypasses that token check.
Only use this if you are experiencing image display issues, and understand the security risks.
- Install the module as usual at sites/all/modules/image_allow_insecure_derivatives
- Enable the module in admin/modules
- The module defaults to allow insecure derivatives, but that can be toggled at admin/config/media/image-toolkit
- Troubleshoot by making sure the variable isn't already set in settings.php:
$conf['image_allow_insecure_derivatives'] = TRUE;

LSC-Tomball Community Library Begins a New Chapter
Please welcome Deborah Sica, our new Co-Director of the public library side of LSC-Tomball Community Library. When she begins July 30th, she will be the second public library Co-Director in the current location, succeeding Wendy Schneider who retired in April.
Deborah received her BA in English and Women's Studies from the State University of New York in Buffalo, her Masters of Fine Arts in Writing and Poetics at Naropa University in Boulder, CO, and her Masters of Library and Information Science at San José State University in San José, CA.
Since 1997 Deborah has worked in Research & Education. While working in the joint public and academic Martin Luther King, Jr. Library on the San José State University campus, Deborah acquired insight into how joint-use public-academic library systems can benefit their communities. She has also worked as an Assistant Librarian in an Austin law firm, a Collection Surveyor at the University of California, Berkley archives and as an Archivist at the Holocaust Museum in Houston. The Holocaust Museum experience was a turning point in her career. She realized the importance of equal access to library service and public resources as a basic human right. From that point on, her career turned to public libraries.
She began at Harris County's Katherine Tyra Branch Library at Bear Creek in 2006 and became the manager at the Northwest Branch eleven months later. She helped that branch 'embed' itself deeply into its community through social programs and liaisons with schools, senior groups and through her work with the Friends of the Northwest Library.

Pasadena CA (SPX) Feb 11, 2013
Type II supernovae are formed when massive stars collapse, initiating giant explosions. It is thought that stars emit a burst of mass as a precursor to the supernova explosion. If this process were better understood, it could be used to predict and study supernova events in their earliest stages.
New observations from a team of astronomers including Carnegie's Mansi Kasliwal show a remarkable mass-loss event about a month before the explosion of a type IIn supernova. Their work is published on February 7 in Nature.
Several models for the supernova-creation process predict pre-explosion outbursts, but it has been difficult for scientists to directly observe this process. Observations of emission lines radiating out form type IIn supernovae are thought to represent interactions between the mass ejected during and prior to the star's explosion
The Palomar Transient Factory team, led by Eran Ofek of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, observed an energetic outburst from a supernova called SN2010mc that radiated at least 6x1040th joules of energy and released about 2x1028th kilograms (one hundredth of a solar mass). This mass-loss was observed 40 days before the supernova exploded.
"What is surprising is the short time between the precursor eruption and the eventual supernova explosion--one month is an extremely tiny fraction of the ten million-year lifespan of a star," Kasliwal said.
Probability modeling showed that there was only a 0.1 percent chance that the outburst was due to random chance, indicating that the outburst and explosion are likely causally related. At the very least, such outbursts are two orders of magnitude more likely to occur in the immediate run-up to the star's explosion than at other times in a star's life.
By comparing their observations to three proposed models for the mechanism by which this mass is ejected the team they found that one model provided the best match. The high velocities lend credence to the idea that the mass is driven out to the envelope that form's the star's atmosphere by the propagation and dissipation of excited gravity waves, although more work is necessary to confirm this model.
"Our discovery of SN2010mc shows that we can mark the imminent death of a massive star. By predicting the explosion, we can catch it in the act," Kasliwal said.

Feb 3, 2012 - For the first time since 2008, a man other than Georges St. Pierre will lay claim to the UFC's welterweight strap.
Welterweight headliners Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit both made weight during Friday's UFC 143 weigh-ins at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, rendering their interim title tilt official. No stranger to championships bouts, Condit managed to hit his mark perfectly, tipping the scales at 169 pounds. Diaz quickly followed suit, skimming the welterweight limit at 169 pounds to a chorus of cheers from the adoring Las Vegas audience.
Diaz was markedly tempered throughout the proceedings, especially considering his well-documented aversion to weigh-ins. "I'm ready to take my ass-whooping," he declared. "It's whatever."
Likewise, Condit appeared to be high spirits. "Nick Diaz is the toughest guy I've ever fought," he coolly stated. "I'm as prepared as I've ever been. I can't wait to get out there and do this thing."
Elsewhere on the main card, Roy Nelson continued his commitment to a sleeker figure, tipping the scales at a trim 246 pounds. His opponent, Fabricio Werdum, marked the end of a three-and-a-half year UFC sabbatical by similarly registering in at 246 pounds.
Meanwhile, Mike Pierce played heavily to the crowd's dislike of welterweight rival Josh Koscheck. After weighing in at 170 pounds, Pierce donned a blonde Koscheck-esque wig, which instantly incensed the former All-American. Both fighters had to be separated by UFC President Dana White.
Full weigh-in results are below.
Main Card (Pay-Per-View):
Nick Diaz (169) vs. Carlos Condit (169)
Roy Nelson (246) vs. Fabricio Werdum (246)
Josh Koscheck (170) vs. Mike Pierce (170)
Renan Barao (136) vs. Scott Jorgensen (135)
Ed Herman (185) vs. Clifford Starks (185)
Preliminary Card (FX):
Dustin Poirier (146) vs. Max Holloway (144)

Thinking Outside the Box
Program #NORH003. Recorded in Boulder, CO on May 25, 2009.The current economic system, with its almost total disregard for nature, is steamrolling both people and the planet. Profits uber alles inevitably will lead to social and ecological breakdowns. Bold innovative ideas are needed to repair and nurture the earth. The traditional path of growth for growth's sake and conventional notions of development require urgent reexamination. Years ago consumption was another name for tuberculosis. Today it is a lifestyle. It is something desirable and is heavily promoted by corporate advertising. To paraphrase Descartes, We consume, therefore we are. But look at the real costs. Environmental degradation is accelerating. The scale of the crises demands replacing the dominant fragmented techno-economic worldview with a more holistic perspective embracing the interdependence of the natural world. More and more communities around the globe are discovering the value of self-reliance and exploring alternative models.

'Duck Dynasty' Star Suspended Over Anti-Gay Remarks
Duck Dynasty will have to roll on without Phil Robertson. The founder of the Duck Commander Co. was suspended Wednesday for anti-gay comments he made in an interview with GQ. In the interview, which was released Wednesday, he likened homosexuality with bestiality as a form of deviant behavior.
A&E Networks, which runs the show, said in a statement. "We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty. His personal views in no way reflect those of A&E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely."
No word if Phil's comment will affect any of the Duck Dynasty gang's licensing deals, but those hoping for a Duck Dynasty Chia Pet can rest easy. Only Willie's and Uncle Si's likenesses are featured in Chia Pet's collection of planters with growing beards.

Each year, thousands of Arizona residents email or call Rosie Romero's radio show with questions. His goal is to provide answers that suit the specific lifestyle wherever someone lives in Arizona. Here are questions from the Southern Arizona area.
There is a problem with drainage in my house every time I run the clothes washer. My utility room is next to the kitchen, and when the washer drains out, the sink in the kitchen starts to bubble up with liquid. I have tried plugging the kitchen drain, but then liquid starts to bubble up in the washing machine. Our house was built in 1993. What should I do?
A: It sounds as if you need to have your drains cleaned out. You can try using enzyme cleaners, but in the end you will probably have to have a plumber come in to clean the drain lines. The plumber may have the equipment to run a camera into the drain lines to see what the problem is all about, if a simple drain cleaning doesn't solve the problem.
Q: I have a very old house that has galvanized iron pipes. How will I know when I have to replace them?
A: Galvanized iron pipes are steel pipes that were covered with a layer of zinc. These pipes were installed in many homes built before the 1960s. Generally, they only last about 50 to 60 years. Then corrosion sets in, and you can have multiple leak problems. The quality of your drinking water can also deteriorate. If your house is 40 or 50 years old, there is most likely considerable corrosion on the inside of the pipes that will also dramatically decrease the volume of water available. Have a qualified plumber come out and look at the piping to give you an opinion.
Q: I'm planning to buy new dual-pane windows. I know your favorite window is aluminum clad with wood, but I'm interested in something that costs less. I'm looking at composite framed windows or fiberglass. What's your advice on that?
A: The most important thing about buying windows is that you choose windows from a company that has a top reputation for the quality of its windows and that offers great guarantees. If you're looking for a moderate-priced option, you might also consider a vinyl frame with steel or aluminum reinforcement which probably would be a lot better than having the entire frame made out of vinyl. Fiberglass is a great choice as well. It holds up well in our harsh desert environment and is a great thermal barrier. Make sure you get a good low-E glass with at least a half-inch of air space between the panes of glass.
Q: I have some beads of moisture that are developing inside my dual-pane windows. Isn't there a company that can repair the seals?
A: Moisture between the panes of glass means that the seals have broken. Moisture will keep entering the window and eventually could cause mildew to develop. It is true that replacing the window is your best option, but some companies claim that they can repair these windows. They drill holes at the top and bottom of the window and then suck out the moisture and air inside. Then they blow inert glass into the window and reseal the holes. This system is less costly, and will probably buy you a year or two before a new window must be installed.

Beneath its tough facade, Nikon's Coolpix AW110 is a sophisticated camera with built-in WiFi and GPS. Master its many features and you can even take photos with one hand.
How it works
The camera syncs with a smartphone through WiFi. Once you link the two devices, it's easy to share photos and video via e-mail without having to connect to a computer. Activate the GPS, and you can map your location and tag photos with the co-ordinates. It's a useful feature if you've forgotten where you ate a memorable plate of pasta in Rome; less so in remote national parks where the mapping function may not work. If you're carrying shopping bags, beach gear or a toddler, press the "action" button, tilt the camera back and forth, and manoeuvre through such basic modes as playback, movie and scene settings with one hand.
Pros and Cons
It takes two thorough reads of the user manual and a call to Nikon's technical support line before I get a handle on the WiFi functionality. The GPS and electronic compass features are much easier to figure out. Photos can be taken under water or in extreme temperatures, then cropped, retouched and sorted by such themes as landscapes, food, movies and pet portraits. The sorting process isn't always accurate (some of my landscapes ended up in the "close-up" folder), but it's a nifty way to separate people shots from scenery.
Final verdict
Although the rugged build is geared to action travellers, tech-savvy photographers will love the bells and whistles. Just be prepared to invest some time in the set-up before you can point, shoot, map and share. $379.95; nikon.ca

The proposed Rosemont Mine is likely to harass this country's only known wild jaguar, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says. But that won't matter much, the agency adds - at least not in terms of jeopardizing the jaguar as a species or destroying its prime habitat.
That view comes from a new draft biological opinion on the mine that the service finished recently, and that the Star obtained this week.
The opinion, if it's finalized, will be a key document needed for approval of the highly controversial project.
But it's already come under criticism from the Tucson-based environmental group whose litigation forced the wildlife service to list the jaguar as endangered 17 years ago.
The wildlife service's view rests on the presence of 30,000 jaguars in Mexico, Central America and South America, and the service's opinion that the adult male jaguar known to be living near the proposed mine near Tucson is the only one likely to be hurt by it.
It also rests on the existence of hundreds of thousands of acres of proposed jaguar critical habitat in Southern Arizona that the mine wouldn't touch.
"Although abundance and population trends for the jaguar rangewide are not well known, and populations throughout their range continue to be at risk, the Rosemont Copper mine will not have an appreciable impact" on the entire population or its U.S. habitat, the opinion says.
But "to say that we have jaguars in place A in one country so we don't need them in place B in this country is contrary to the Endangered Species Act," counters Michael Robinson, an activist for the Tucson-based Center for Biological Diversity. "They are essentially writing off this one jaguar. The bottom line is that this is an endangered species that under law and ethics should be recovered."
The center's lawsuits have prodded the wildlife service to list the animal, to propose designating jaguar habitat and to prepare a recovery plan - all over the agency's original opposition.
The wildlife service's 418-page opinion also says the mine won't jeopardize eight other endangered and threatened species known to live on or near thousands of acres that would be disturbed for the mine in the Santa Rita Mountains southeast of Tucson. That's despite the fact that a "reasonable certainty" exists of inadvertent harm or death to members of five species total including the jaguar, the service said.
Mitigation measures
Backing these conclusions, the service cites planned land purchases, monitoring plans, non-native species removal programs and numerous other mitigation measures that the mining company, Rosemont Copper, has committed to.
Before the opinion becomes final, it must be commented upon by a group of local, state and federal agencies by the end of this month. Then it must be signed off on by the U.S. Forest Service when it decides on the mine. Regardless of the final decision, one side or another in this hot dispute is likely to sue to overturn it.
"We are pleased to see that the biological opinion confirms that there is no jeopardy to any of the listed species. We appreciate the agencies' efforts and their staffs' thorough and credible work to complete all the detailed and comprehensive analysis that went into this document," said Kathy Arnold, Rosemont Copper's vice president for environmental and regulatory affairs.
Rick Grinnell, vice president of the pro-Rosemont Southern Arizona Business Coalition, said this biological opinion shows the mine's overall approval process is working.
"Whatever mitigation will occur will happen between Rosemont and the Forest Service, and the public will be aware of details down the road," Grinnell said.
On the jaguar, the wildlife service predicts that one will be a victim of "take," a legal term meaning to kill, harm, wound, capture or harass an endangered species. That would be due to construction, operation and restoration of the open-pit mine and associated roads that disrupt normal behavior patterns including breeding, feeding or sheltering.
But this "take" isn't likely to appreciably reduce the species' chances of recovery and survival, since the jaguar ranges south to Brazil, the opinion said.
As for habitat, the mine likely would impact no more than 19,626 acres of proposed critical habitat, the opinion said. That's less than 6 percent of the 343,000 acres of Unit 3 of the proposed critical habitat that covers the Santa Rita, Huachuca and Patagonia mountains and 2.3 percent of all critical habitat proposed for the jaguar in the United States.
The Mexico connection
Proposed conservation measures for the mine would protect 1,727 acres, partially offsetting the mine's impacts, the opinion said.
To prove the mine would illegally destroy critical habitat, it would have to be shown that the jaguar would be unable to traverse a constricted area of that habitat near the site and that smaller sections of critical habitat would be inaccessible to jaguars and remove their connectivity to Mexico - and those arguments can't be justified, the opinion said.
The Center for Biological Diversity's Robinson, however, said it's premature for the wildlife service to say that the jaguar habitat damaged by this mine isn't significant for recovery because it has not yet established formal jaguar recovery goals. While the jaguar's recovery certainly depends on northern Mexico, having a more robust U.S. jaguar population could prove important in saving the Mexican population, Robinson said.
"Their overall problem is the same one that has hurt them in court before - they have always sought to marginalize jaguars in the United States," he said.

So, you want to know how to fight porn addiction?
Fighting a pornography addiction is not easy. In one of my research studies I asked individuals who were attempting to stop viewing pornography to respond to the following statement:
"I have been doing well in my efforts to quit looking at pornography,
but it is a lot harder than I thought it would be."
Well over 50% of them acknowledged that it was a lot harder than they thought it would be. Over the years, I have observed hundreds of individuals attempting to quit viewing pornography. Some of them have cried in my office because they simply couldn't stop. They felt helpless in their efforts to quit viewing it. None of us like feeling out of control.
If you want to reclaim your life, it is going to require a lot of hard work and effort. Hard work is not something to be discouraged by, rather look at this as an opportunity to achieve something hard. You are going to prove to yourself that you can do hard things.
Consider the following image
This is what you are trying to do. You are attempting to step out of the mud and into a clean world where you can reach your full potential. Pornography has prevented you from achieving your full potential. It may have destroyed your confidence. At times you may feel helpless and hopeless like you will never get out of the mud—this is the lie. You can quit. You can reclaim control of your life.
So how can you begin your fight against pornography addiction?
Here's five steps you can take to fight your battle against pornography.
Step #1: Get Prepared
The first step is to prepare yourself for success. How can you prepare? Here's a short list:
Assess your readiness to change. I have written a short assessment that evaluates your readiness for change. You can find it at "Are You Ready to Break a Porn Addiction." Once you have completed it, you will have a better feel for your readiness to change.
Next, I would encourage you to take the Pornography Addiction Assessment. More than 5000 men and women have completed this online assessment. When you have completed it, you will have a feel for your level of involvement in pornography. This information will help you understand the extent of your challenge ahead. The higher your level of involvement, the more energy and effort you will need to succeed.
Another way to prepare is to discover your triggers. In other words, you will want to know when you are most vulnerable. In my book "Treating Pornography Addiction" I recommend that individuals increase their awareness by identifying their most vulnerable times—by doing this they discover when they are at greatest risk. This helps them see the patterns that lead them to relapse.
In my first session with clients struggling to stop viewing pornography, I ask them what they have done in an effort to quit viewing pornography. Rarely do my clients describe identifying their triggers. It is almost impossible to change a behavior like pornography if you aren't aware of the triggers that lead to relapse.
Step #2: Rediscover Yourself
What does it mean to discover yourself? In many instances pornography has taken control of your life. You have forgotten about true joy and happiness. You may have stopped participating in events and activities that you used to enjoy. When my clients succeed it is primarily because they have found themselves again. They realize that they are not the bad, evil, rotten person that pornography made them feel like.
For some reason, pornography is a destroyer of joy. It is what I call a joy killer. You weren't created to feel horrible or rotten about yourself. Rather you have incredible potential to be a person who shares and gives and loves. As you understand this concept you will find more resolve to stop viewing porn and instead find true joy and happiness in life.
Step #3: Find and Create True Intimacy
One of the most critical elements of recovery is discovering true intimacy. Porn taints intimacy. In many instances, it prevents and even destroys intimacy. This creates a very big problem—since most humans long for a deep intimate relationship. In an effort to explain how pornography influences intimacy, I wrote a special report titled, "Addiction and Intimacy". In this article I discuss how addictions destroy intimacy and I conclude with specific suggestions on how individuals can rediscover true intimacy in their life and relationships.
If you would like to read an article on ways to improve the intimacy in your life, here's a link to a short article titled "Relationship Intimacy: Are You Ready for More?" This article talks about different types of intimacy that will be important for you to learn as you begin to succeed.
Intimacy is probably not something that you are enjoying yet in your life. My research indicates that pornography use has a significant impact on individuals trapped in pornography as well as on their partner. I discuss this in-depth with my colleague Geoff Steurer in our CD Series "Strengthening Recovery Through Strengthening Marriage"
Step #4: Find Social Support
In the next step in your recovery you will want to find social support. My research shows that individuals who reach out for help are more likely to succeed. What exactly does support look like? It comes in the form of 12-step groups, getting a sponsor, connecting with friends, and/or talking with a religious leader. Each of these critical supports should be aware of your progress. You should be open and honest with them about your recovery. Reaching out for support is so critical that I can tell you that I have never seen someone succeed without it. If you develop a team of supporters, your chances of success will increase significantly.
Step #5: Keep Learning and Growing
Your success will not happen overnight. It is very important to continue learning. Here are four things that you will want to continue doing as your recover.
First, learn from mistakes. Most people relapse. Don't give up when you do. Instead, learn from the mistake. Identify what happened and what you could have done differently. As you do this you will want to tell the people of your support network what happened and what you will do differently next time. This powerful tool makes you accountable and will help you eliminate one more barrier.
Second, continue to build upon your knowledge. In reading this article, you are demonstrating a desire to learn. There are many books, resources, counselors, groups, and educational classes that you can take to improve your life. I often recommend that my clients become experts on the recovery process. I encourage them to study and read from good books—not just pornography related. Knowledge is power.
Third, develop your skills and talents. Recovery is more than just stopping a behavior—it is creating a new you. Take the time to discover your true talents. If you are an athlete, get involved in sports. If you are an actor, do a play. If you are a writer, write. If you are someone who enjoys serving others, give to others in your community.
In conclusion, if you want to truly fight porn addiction, carefully following the steps outlined here will get you started. Remember that true change will require time and effort. As you put in this effort, you will reap the rewards of reclaiming your life.

There is hope. You can fully recover. There are so many resources out there, like this website, to aid in your recovery process. Another great resource I have found is SA Lifeline. They are dedicated to helping support individuals through their recovery. Visit salifeline.org for more information.
Porn has taken over my life and is destroying my relationships.
I cannot control the urge to go online & watch free porn movies! They make it so easy to fall into this addiction!! There are thousands of free movies available,..they have so many catagorys of porn that draw me in. Every day,.I start out thinking I can make it through the day without doing it,..and I always fail,..and I fail even sooner than I expect!
And every time I do try to seek help on the net like this,…at the end of all the info,.there's always some kind of connection to god or religion of some sort! I don't need or want that,..an imaginary "being" dancing around in the clouds is not a solution to my problems!
I would just like to know if there is any truly legitimate help out there for this addiction. Not some site that will eventually direct me into buying books, bibles,..etc., etc.,.church, or some other fantasy program.
I have really tried to fight my addiction but without any much hope. i stopped buying adult DVDs but i already had a stash of over 200 which i have failed to destroy. i really need to fight this addiction
Porn is a very powerful tool designed to keep us…gripped and trapped in the wrong side of things…is NEVER a good thing… it can be fun…it can be sensual…but that is how it gets to us, until is too late to push it away…. it does not matter if you are religious or not….this is one of those tools, some forces use to take us away from joy, goodness, peace and a clean life….we CAN NOT fight it alone… the forces behind the people who produce those things are more powerful than any one of us…and they are MANY…. books, therapy, professional help, friends, family can help us to slow it down but…it will never get away if we try to fight it alone… the forces you are trying to fight are not human, you can not see them but they are there.. and they are as real as your left hand and the things you are observing at this very moment … if you really want to get away and stay away from it…you need a force more powerful, a force that is on your side and that will remain on your side… you need to ask for help to God… there is not one else who can help you… that is the only way you can recover your peace, joy of things and the clean life you think you can not have… you can not serve two masters at the same time…. is my personal experience.
I'm so done with porn. I know it won't be easy but I think about my relationship and value my girlfriend so much more then all those raunchy videos. I'm ready to stop. I have to stop.. its so sad to think about it but I want to expierince the real pleasures of sex and intimacy instead of scanning the web for "fix".
It can be done. What one man has done, another can do. In addiction to the excellent suggestions in the article, I would say the development of a Sobriety Plan that delilmits bottom line behaviors that you just don't screw around with, middle level behaviors. These contain ALL POSSIBLE TRIGGERS. Next to each trigger is an action plan to escape it's draw. You should also draw out Carnes, "Cycle of Addiction". Look at the cycle. At each point in it, you can step out of it if you have the awareness and alternative activities written out, right there in your notebook.

Ratings for Dr. Terry Lyn Evans
We had a wonderful experience with Terry Lyn. Very knowledgeable and patient with us, we never felt rushed during our appointments. She was incredible during the birth, very calm and held dr.'s off from using forecepts and vaccume...we would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!
We are so thankful for the wonderful medical care we had with Terry Lyn. We had a hospital birth and then home birth and both situations felt supported and safe and the post partum care is incredible. We had some complications and Terry Lyn always kept us informed and supported. Thank you!!
Thanks to Terry Lyn and the staff at Pacific Midwifery, I have nothing but positive memories of my pregnancy and birth experience. She is kind, respectful, super knowledgable and professional. She is a former Maternity RN and has a great rapport with the staff at BC women's. I had total trust in her competency and decision making. I felt totally supported the whole way through. Thank you Terry Lyn!
As all these ladies have said Terry-Lyn is AMAZING! She was a rock during my birth and brought my son safely into the world. While that alone is enough to explain why I think so highly of her, she also gave us so much support and baby care wisdom postpartum, it was a lifesaver. I thought I knew a lot about babies and had done "my homework" but Terry-Lyn shared there pearls of wisdom that made things so much easier those first few days, weeks, and months. She is the best resource and I'm so very thankful that I had her in my corner. She has delivered about 10 other babies of friends of mine and I know everyone holds her in the highest regard. Terry-Lyn's partner Carolyn is also a gem as is Penny who keeps the office running.
Terry Lyn has delivered all three of my children and has been incredibly professional both in the office and at the deliveries. She has outstanding medical training and is not afraid to seek a second opinion when needed. She has excellent bed side manner, is calm under pressure, extremely knowledgeable and very caring. I would not hesitate to recommend her- in fact, I already have to many friends and family.
Terry Lyn was my midwife for both my pregnancies. Her professional demeanour along with her staightforward answers were exactly what I was looking for in a midwife. She was a delivery room nurse for over 10 years prior to becoming a midwife so she had a lot of experience and knows how to keep a stessful sitution calm, nuturing, and EMPOWERING! She made my deliveries an amazing experience for everyone involved. My last birth I was up in the delux delivery room at BC Women's and had the huge tub. Terry Lyn casually asked if I wanted to get in the tub for the rest of the delivery. I said only if you get me the portable tank of laughing gas which she did no problem. My daughter was born 20 minutes after getting into the water and it was a very calm and beautiful birth. You can't always plan these things in advance as you don't know how things will go but we went with the flow under the guidance of Terry Lyn and I will cherish my birth experiences forever!
I was lucky enough to get Terry Lyn Evans as my midwife by chance, in the end she was my midwife for both my pregnancies and delivered both my babies. Terry Lyn is by far one of the best midwives in Vancouver, and if you can obtain her services for your pregnancy/delivery you would be lucky to have her. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, calm, responsive and has many years experience and seen virtually every type of delivery. If I ever decided to have a third baby, I would choose Terry Lyn as my midwife again. She seemed "to the point" when I first met her, but I quickly came to appreciate her calm style and to trust her judgement. I always felt completely safe during the delivery of both my babies, because of Terry Lyn's expertise and manner. I would highly recommend this midwife.

Lindsay Lohan Told Her Dad Dina Was High On Cocaine, Is Probably A Good Judge Of That
"Be a good girl and suck all those dicks like I told you. Mommy loves you."
Seen here conveniently hugging in front of the paparazzi after their drunken brawl last night, Lindsay Lohan and Dina were apparently fighting over money last night, according to Michael Lohan who was actually the one who called 911 but not before winning another Father of the Year Award recording Lindsay's frantic phone call to him so he could immediately sell it to TMZ. Which he did:
Lindsay Lohan made an hysterical plea for help to her father, as she claimed she was being kidnapped by Dina Lohan, screaming, "Dad, she's on cocaine. She's like touching her neck, and s**t" … and TMZ has obtained audio of the conversation.
During Lindsay's conversation, Lindsay tells her dad the fight ignited over money. Lindsay says she gave her mom $40,000 because Dina claimed she needed it to save her home from foreclosure. Nonetheless, Lindsay wanted her money back, and that's when fireworks erupted.
Lindsay told her dad, "She's saying disgusting things to me … I'm dead to her now."
Lindsay says her mom is calling her "nuts."
During the conversation, you hear Lindsay tell her mom, "This is what you do. You ruin people," adding, "She's like the fucking devil right now."
I honestly don't know what to think here because on the one hand you have Lindsay Lohan who knows exactly what the signs are of losing your shit on cocaine because there's usually a mirror around. But on the other hand, you have Lindsay Lohan who will lie straight out of her freckled anus. So no one really knows what happened in that car except for Dina's driver who you know has helped a john covered in blood flee across the border before, so he's not talking. And even if he did, no one would believe him. "Mees Lohan, she open her mouth and out come the head of a snake that said 'choo better bring me a baby to eat,' and I was all like, 'DAY-AMN, I dunno if I can letchoo finish this blowjob, Mees Lindsay.' I never seen any-ting like it in my life. The snake, not the blowjob, that's how she pay me."

Liquid Force Wakeboard Sizing
Choosing the correct size wakeboard is based on rider weight and riding style preference. There are reasons to size a wakeboard either up or down from what is suggested on the chart. Sizing Down: Less swing weight to help a rider spin faster. More aggressive feel and a quicker response from edge to edge. Less overall surface area means harder landings and a tendency for the nose to dip. Sizing Up: The ride will feel slightly slower but smoother. The larger base surface area will provide the rider with softer landings when going big but the response time from edge to edge will feel less responsive.

Maybe all those years reading French Deconstructionists has finally run its course. A concern for truth is returning to our political life, and not a moment too soon.
This morning, Kathleen Parker, who is hardly a screaming leftie or Dem partisan, chastises both Mr. Romney and Mr. Ryan for running as someone they aren't, or at least as someone they have never been before.
And, Melinda Henneberger also jumps into the discussion of facticity with a column about the need for all of us to become fact-checkers.
Congressman Paul Ryan's speech seems to have been something of a "tipping point" on the need for veracity. Politics has long been in the business of mischaracterizing an opponent's record. I recall working on a campaign in which our candidate had, several years earlier, not received the service fee bill for trash collection in his home town. The fee was paid to the city and he paid it the next quarter when the bill did arrive. This became a campaign ad for our opponent who charged our candidate with failing to pay his taxes on time. That sort of thing is ugly, to be sure. But, Ryan's speech spoke to something deeper, the tendency of partisans of both left and right to buy into whole narratives that make false claims believable. If you only watch Fox, you will find just about any outrageous claim about Obama plausible. If you only watch MSNBC, you will believe just about anything about Romney and Ryan. It is time for some truth-telling - and some soul-searching.

(5/5 Stars) Great Job by Darlene -05/11/2013
Today was a really horrible day until I called Best Price Plumbing. I woke up to my bath tub full of gross smelly water. I called a couple of well known companies in town and told them what was going on. The first thing out of every one of their mouths was Well sounds like you need to have your tank drained. Now take note that not one of them even offered to come out and look. Now I am in tears and I called Best Price Plumbing and they told me they would come and look at the problem and see what needed to be done. I was sooo thankful that they would just look at it. They got there in under an hour. They spent about 30 minutes tracking the clog and found that I had a clog just before the clean out. They fixed the problem and everything is as good as new. I was so relieved to find out that some people really do care about their customers and they charged a really really fair price for the work. I was so disgusted with the other companies that I called and complained to the managers, but got the same response.Sorry madam, we should of taken a look at it, and I will be talking to my dispatchers to find out why that was not done. you know that did not happen!!!! I thank Best Price Plumbing for taking the time to get to know the problem and taking care of their customers. I will be a customer for life. Thank you again for the great work.
(5/5 Stars) Very Good by Phil -03/16/2013
Gilbert and Ralph showed up on time and when my problem was explianed to them, they got right on the task and had the drain unclogged in no time. They even asked if I wanted them to install the new disposal I had and they went above and beyond what I expected for a price you'll be glad you called them first. I strongly recomend their services to anyone. Very Satisfied customer.PhilAvra Valley
(5/5 Stars) Great Job. by puff - 09/21/2012
Showed up quickly when water was running out from under my toilet. Did a quick and clean job. Left my bathroom looking better than when they came. Can't ask for more.
(5/5 Stars) Fantastic work by Rambo1205 -11/02/2011
I got the best service ever from Best Price Plumbing. All my drains where backed up and I called several company's and they all told me (over the phone, without ever looking at it) I needed my tank pumped out. I was really not looking forward to the price I had been told from these different company's. Best Price Plumbing told me they would come out and look at it. When they arrived they dug the tank up opened the lids, and found out that the baffle just needed to be unclogged. They saved me hundreds of dollars and I am good to go for along long time now. They took the time to come out and look at the job before telling me what had to be done. They are a real customer friendly company.

As with most things in the investing world, dividends are pretty simple … except when they're not. While payout ratios are a generally a good gauge of a company's dividend since it simply can't pay out money it hasn't earned, there are always exceptions.
One limitation for a payout ratio is the fact that earnings are used for the calculation, when cash is (usually) what's actually used to pay dividend. Thus, non-cash charges and asset depreciation might weigh on earnings for some companies — increasing their payout ratio — but not actually affect the company's ability to pay shareholders.
This has been the case with telecom stocks like AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ). In fact, the telecommunications sector had an average payout ratio of 156% as of the end of the second quarter, with the sector's ratio sitting above 100% since the end of 2011.
At first glance, it would appear that telecoms are paying shareholders more money than they earned. But that's partially because AT&T and Verizon have suffered from pension problems and asset impairment charges — non-cash charges that weigh on earnings, but don't weigh on the companies' actual ability to produce cash and return it to investors.
In a case like this — when companies suffer non-cash charges or asset depreciation — you should do a similar exercise, but look at the dividend compared to free cash flow. Free cash flow is the company's operating cash flow, minus capital expenditures. And again, a ratio north of 60% or is enough cause for concern.
Consider telecom stock Verizon, for example. The company had operating cash flow of $31.5 million in 2012, but spent $20.1 million on capital expenditures. That leaves $11.4 million of cash — more than enough to cover the $5.2 million in dividends it shelled out, as seen by the resulting dividend-to-free cash flow ratio of 45%.
A similar, although more complex, story can be told for real estate investment trusts, or REITs. For one, these companies generally have high yields because they are required by law to pay 90% of their taxable income to shareholders — great news.
But REITs make money — and I'm simplifying here — by buying real estate, then renting it out. The value of that real estate depreciates over time, which can make its earnings and thus payout ratio give a false representation of the payout's path. Instead, you have to use "funds from operations" in this case — which is net income minus that depreciation.
A similar story is told for limited partnerships, which also are required to pay the bulk of their income to shareholders and should be judged based on cash flow as opposed to earnings.
It's a tricky topic that requires more explanation, but the key takeaway is simply that payout ratios are useful, but they're not a one-size-fits-all calculation.
We'll cover more about these complex investments down the line, but for now, just remember that there's more to a dividend than a headline yield.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi, I'd like to help you with your question.
If you are talking about Adderall regular strength then 4 hours or so, taking into account your size and weight. If you are taking Adderall XR which is time release, then it is about 10 to 12 hours.
If it has been 9 days, the drug should be well out of your system.
I hope this has helped,
I'd say after nine days it is not traceable in urine. It usually leaves your system completely after 3 days.
