Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:07am
July 24, 2010 marked the finals between Canada and the United States in the FIL World Championships. For Chris Sanderson, who was participating in his fourth FIL Championship since 1998, this was nothing new. As the goalie for Canada, he had led his team to the finals in all four of his trips to the world games, and he is the only keeper to have ever been named to the All-World team three times.
In 2010, however, Sanderson showed his true grit and competitive spirit by competing fiercely despite battling the brain cancer he was diagnosed with in 2008. Although Canada ended up losing 12-10 in the finals, Chris Sanderson notched 10 saves in the match and earned himself billing as the top goalie in the 29-team tournament. After fighting for more than three years against the disease that was supposed to claim him within months, Chris succumbed June 28, 2012, survived by his wife Brogann, and daughters Stevie and Clementine.
Chris Sanderson loved the sport of lacrosse and was fully committed to helping the game grow. Despite being dubbed the fastest growing sport in the nation, lacrosse still has not fully broken into the mainstream world of athletics. Professional lacrosse players make a fraction of the salaries their MLB, NFL, and NBA counterparts, with almost all of them complementing their lacrosse seasons with full-time careers. The smaller nature of the lacrosse community, however, has its benefits. In times of need, former teammates, rivals, and friends pull together to present a united front and achieve a common goal whether it is participating in a camp, or helping to get a good cause off the ground.
Such was the case in Charlottesville this fall.
Three months ago, only weeks after Sanderson's passing, former Virginia teammates Drew McKnight, Hannon Wright, Matt D'Urso, and Doug Knight started putting together a plan to raise money in Chris's memory. Their efforts culminated in a two-day fundraising event at the University of Virginia in the form of an alumni lacrosse game and morning lacrosse clinic.
Donations to the Chris Sanderson Memorial Trust are still being taken until Oct. 31. You can donate at this link: http://www.giveforward.com/friendsofchrissanderson
The Cavaliers, like many teams, have been doing an alumni scrimmage for several years. This year, the event capped UVa's fallball season and allowed local fans to enjoy a fun matchup for a great cause. "It's really nice," Virginia coach Dom Starsia said. "It just adds to the event that there is a really nice cause to be able to focus on, and this is a very special night tonight."
While the alumni got trounced by the current UVa players, 19-6, the experience was a positive one. Former Cavalier standouts such as Knight, McKnight, D'Urso, Wright, Ryan Curtis, Steele Stanwick, Adam Ghitelman, Ben Rubeor, Brian Carroll, Jamie Leachman, James Ireland, Chris Bocklet, and Jamison Mullen were on hand for the alumni, who were coached by 1972 National Championship team member Doug Tarring.
The game was free of charge, and fans filled the hill at Virginia's practice facility, despite the chilly fall weather. Keeping track of the alumni proved difficult because of the fact they were all wearing No. 22 in honor of Chris on their event T-shirts, but eventually fans recognized the play of their old favorites, such as Adam Ghitelman, who played not only his usual goalie position, but also saw time on attack, defense, and the wings for face-offs.
The following morning, the alumni — with help from some of the current players — hosted a free clinic for children in the Charlottesville area. Around 110 kids came out to "The Park" on the Grounds of the University of Virginia to take advantage of the experience of the 30-plus coaches and players in attendance. Coach Starsia kicked off the morning with a motivational speech, garnering the attention of the young players by having all the instructors raise their hand if they were an All-American. As the arms went in the air, the children's mouths dropped. Starsia summed it up perfectly by stating: "Kids, the most important thing you can do today is listen."
From that point, the coaches split up among the multiple fields and ran skill-building drills, with students switching locations periodically throughout the morning. Ryan Curtis, current Vermont head coach and three-time All American as a defenseman at Virginia, ran groundball and stick-handling drills while attack standouts Stanwick and Rubeor helped players bolster their control around the goal. Current Virginia players like Chris LaPierre, Rob Emery, Pat Harbeson and assistant coach John Walker were on hand to lend their time to the cause.
"For me, this morning, is really the most important part of the weekend," Brogann Sanderson said, continuing, "Teaching lacrosse to young people is really what Chris was all about, and I just think it's an incredibly fitting way to honor him and support our family."
In a once-in-a-lifetime experience, the young players received one-on-one instruction from some of the best players to have come through Charlottesville, if not the NCAA. Ages ranged from 7 to 17, and everyone came to play with a high level of energy and intensity. One of the most moving moments of the morning was during an offensive drill in which Steele Stanwick gave personalized one-on-one coaching to a younger player, and in running the play, the kid perfectly demonstrated the skill.
Above all for the two-day experience, the presence of Chris Sanderson's memory was prevalent in all of the activities. For former teammates, it was a time to get together and relive all of their favorite memories of their good friend. Doug Knight recalled their fun times, when Chris would "Wear jeans and a jean jacket out at night with a couple of his buddies." He also remembered Chris the player as, "a great goalie, a spark-plug really. He always had a smile on his face and just enjoyed the game."
Curtis, a defenseman for Sanderson, shared Knight's recollection. "As a defenseman, you always feel more comfortable when you have a goalie like Chris in the goal, and I don't mean necessarily from a skill standpoint. He made you comfortable…there wasn't a single guy on the team he wasn't friends with." Ryan Curtis also realized the impact that type of player had on his career as well, stating, "As a young defenseman like myself, learning how to play at that level, having a guy like him behind me helping me out, talking to me, certainly helped my career develop…he was a guy who always had a smile on his face, always came to practice and always had fun practicing."
Both events over the weekend were free to participate in, and relied solely on donations to the Chris Sanderson Memorial Trust to benefit his legacy and his children's education. Through the alumni weekend, more than $25,000 were raised for the cause, and the total as of Monday morning sits at $29,735. Donations are being taken online at http://www.giveforward.com/friendsofchrissanderson. The website will be open through this Wednesday, 31 October, 2012.
"It's what lacrosse is all about." Doug Knight summed up. "It's just a great, small community. It always will be a small, tight-knit community. The sport is growing tremendously, but if you stick around it long enough it's really going to pay you back a lot over your lifetime."
For Brogann Sanderson, those words truly do ring true: "I think for me, it is just a humbling experience to have all of these amazing players come together in Chris's honor and support our family."

Other charges against Richard James Smith, 56, owner of R.J. Smith & Associates, including a count of fraud/forgery, were dropped as part of the plea agreement, according to San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. Because the evidence was mostly circumstantial, prosecutors would have had difficulty proving fraud, said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti.
The judge dismissed all charges against a second defendant, Tariel Gusseinov, a former chief financial officer of the company, the district attorney reported. Because he was not the owner of the company, prosecutors might not be able to prove "that he was responsible for non-payment of the supplier, nor could we prove that he in any way personally profited from non-payment of the supplier," Ms. Guidotti said.
The original charges brought against the two men alleged they had fraudulently over-billed Atherton homeowner Larry Lowry by thousands of dollars and diverted money owed to a subcontractor on the project, the District Attorney's Office said. The total amount of alleged fraud was originally estimated at $400,000 by the Atherton Police Department.
Court documents said Mr. Smith's company was hired to do a major construction job on Mr. Lowry's Stockbridge Avenue home. The alleged fraud came to light when fixtures from a subcontractor were late and the homeowner contacted the subcontractors directly, the documents say.
Ms. Guidotti said Mr. Smith's primary defense was that, "while these may have been poor business practices, it did not amount to actual fraud or theft." She said the DA's office was concerned it could not prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt in a trial.
In addition to 60 days in county jail with no credit for time served, Mr. Smith was sentence to two years of probation. He must pay $7,000 in restitution to the victim as well as $235 in court fines. He had been out on $75,000 bail and was scheduled to surrender himself into custody on Nov. 1.

I hear you about dropping a series... the Phils did the same thing after sweeping the Mutts, losing a series to Florida, of all teams.
No matter how hot your lineup has been , at this point in the season, it always comes down to pitching and who's healthy and who's not. And if all else fails, football starts next Sunday....
too much baseball on this blog, Eurobasket 2007 just started !! Nowitzki, Parker, Gasol etc etc
tonight Italy-France (wow !), do you have games on tv there ??? it starts at 1 PM your time
Yeah Ricky, you're right....
We're all so wrapped up in baseball, we're forgetting about the Sixers... is there any news on how the summer league did and how the new guys looked?
Does Eurobasketball overlap the NBA season? Do any Sixers play over in Europe? Is former Sixer Pepe Sanchez still around?
Louis Williams rocked in the Summer leagues, let's just hope he carries it over into the regular season. The only other news has been Dalembert playing for the Canadian team.
guys there is a continetal competition for national teams going on, with some dozen NBA players, Nowitzki, Gasol, Kirilenko, Okur, Turkoglu, NBA last mvp Parker (just torched us), Bargnani, Belinelli, Diaw, Biedrins, Calderon, Garbajosa... need more ???!!!
no Pepe Sanchez, unfortunately :-)
Not a single Sixer playing in that, right Ricky? Disappointing.
but we always knew that our int'l scouting sucks big time, if we could never do better than Efthimios Rentzias...

Left front parking lamp malfunction
Yesterday I got this message on my console "Left front Parking Lamp Malfunction" then i Noticed that my left side angels lights are not longer working....My question is the following:
1 - Is the problem just light bulb...
2 - Is the problem the entire light set...
3 - What will be the cost before I bring the car to the D this saturday....
4 - Can I do this myself without problems....
i had the same thing... it was the bulb alone... weird thing though... my front right halo and rear licence plate light went out atthe same time... magically the halo turned back on though... the dealer still replaced both bulbs under warranty and i am yet to have any furthur issues...
Min does this like once a month with the same message. I would have the dealer fix it but it always works itself back out again?
I have the same problem, I think im going to replace Angel Eyes on both headlights,
Anyone know where I can get some nice ones at a decent price?
It's the bulb. The dealer will recommend replacing both, since they are expensive and the labor is also high. It requires loosening the bumper to get at the bulbs. It can be done by an owner, but if you make a mistake and break a headlight, it gets VERY expensive.
bulbs are $26 for a pair at bavauto.com. Check the DIY section for a good writeup. It takes a couple hours with simple tools. I am doing it this weekend. BTW I just got OEM bulbs... I like the stock look, plus i'm not a pimp.
so.. there are two bulbs per side...im not looking for anything fancy, im just a symetrical type person, and i know one side they work and the other they dont.........it might be easy to break other side, JK.. thanks for the help..
no, one bulb per side= a pair for the car.
And, larsizzle, since you have the pre-facelift 745, you don't have to loosen the bumper or anything, just unbolt the headlight assembly and move it forward a little.
I had the same malfunction and the dealer fixed it this past Tuesday. It was the left side and both angel eyes were out however they told me only one needed to be replaced. They possible could be stringed together like christmas tree lights when one goes out they all go out. They did not charge me but let me know CPO does not cover it, to my surprise.
I had the same problem, OFF/ON, OFF/ON, thought it might be electrical and not the bulb. Eventually I just decided to replace the bulb, found the info on how to replace it in the DIY section here. The bulb cost around $35 at the dealership but I put off replacing because I was avoiding the task of taking off my bumper. When I finally did it, it was easier than I thought. The DIY pics are accurate and very helpful. It only took me about an hour; bet I could do it in 30 min if I had to again. Everything has worked perfectly since. Forgot how much I missed those beautiful Angel Eyes!
Same experience here as jssmi. Searched and read and took it on. If you are patient and mechanical, it really is a simple task.
Hi Guys,
I own 06 750li and had same issue. I know everyone here is talking about taking the bumper of to replace the bulb but infact I didn't have to do all that. I found it was faster to take out the air filter intake (I think that's what's it called) thing and once the whole thing was out I just open the light over from the back and counter clockwise the socket and i had the bulb in my hand. Thought I would share this it took me 15min to do all this. I didn't take the picture as I was in a rush and sort of first timer so was more worried about everything else then making a video. Maybe next time. I paid $100 for OEM Sylvania HID at autozone for the bulb. Stealership was charging $250 for the labor.
Thank you to everyone posting on this blog it has save me alot of money. Hope this helps.
so an 04 745li model dont need to have the bumper tooken off if replacing both bulbs meaning right and left light? I have the same problem both parking light malfunction.
I didn't take the bumper off to replace mine. PITA without it off, but you can do it.
I had an error about the right front parking lamp but I was looking at it and it is the Angel Eye that is not lighting. One dealer said it is the entire assembly for active headlight and wanted $2k+ to replace. What joke. I will pull the filter intake case as was stated by hwarris and replace the bulb.
its just a simple bulb replacement which we carry that is guaranteed to solve your error code
Yes, it's just the bulb replacement.

And You Thought Fox News Was Nuts
Big media outlets are up in arms over the Venezuelan government's decision not to renew the license for TV network Radio Television Caracas (RCTV). The reports have seriously watered down the charges against the station. The New York Times describes the situation as a political beef with the station's "editorial policies," while the Independent calls it retaliation against RCTV "for being critical" of Chavez. Sort of like Timothy McVeigh was "critical" of the U.S. government.
Here's a rundown how the station spent its spring break a few years back:
> In April 2002, coup organizers plan an anti-government march in downtown Caracas, attracting thousands of demonstrators. RCTV and other private stations encourage Venezuelans to participate. At the last minute, the route of the march is redirected toward the presidential palace, and mercenaries begin firing on the crowd, killing 18.
> Amidst the bloody chaos, rebel military leaders kidnap President Chavez and transport him to a Caribbean island. RCTV and other private stations broadcast a statement that Chavez had…um… resigned.
> Interim President Pedro Carmona (Pedro the Brief) promptly suspends the Venezuelan Constitution, dissolves Congress and the Supreme Court, and basically appoints himself emperor. RCTV president Marcel Granier is there for the fun .
> Coup leaders appear on television and explain how it all went down. They single out RCTV, thanking the network for its assistance.
> RCTV calls on Venezuelans to rat out friends and neighbors who had been associated with the Chavez administration and turn them in for arrest.
> When word gets out to the public, via international reports, that this had been a coup, not a resignation, RCTV bans its reporters from covering the story.
> 24 hours later, after widespread popular protests surround the presidential palace and the military captures coup leaders, RCTV suspends its news programming in favor of an emergency cartoon marathon.
If this happened in the U.S., station officials would be in jail or at Guantanamo. Suspending their license seems like a sane, if merciful, step.

Google is making waves with Gmail a lot these days for a variety of reasons, and this week, users are freaking out about something the company said in a court document regarding email privacy. Combine that with the new compose box that is getting people riled up, and the recently launched tabbed interface, and a lot of people are finding new reasons not to like Gmail.
Have any of these events influenced your thoughts about Gmail as a user or as a business? Let us know in the comments.
A 39-page court document (via TheVerge) has Google saying:
Just as a sender of a letter to a business colleague cannot be surprised that the recipient's assistant opens the letter, people who use web-based email today cannot be surprised if their emails are processed by the recipient's [email provider] in the course of delivery. Indeed, "a person has no legitimate expectation of privacy in information he voluntarily turns over to third parties."
On the surface, this may look like Google is saying that Gmail users shouldn't expect privacy, but this quote that has drawn so much attention is actually in a section about "non-Gmail plaintiffs".
But that hasn't stopped some from running wild with the story. Frequent Google privacy critic Consumer Watchdog, for example, put out a press release under the headline, "Google Tells Court You Cannot Expect Privacy When Sending Messages to Gmail -- People Who Care About Privacy Should Not Use Service, Consumer Watchdog Says."
Consumer Watchdog says.
Even The Daily Show managed to get in a jab, saying on its Facebook Page:
TDS Breaking News: Google: "Gmail users can't legitimately expect privacy." Just like Google can't legitimately expect us to use Google+.
Even if there is no real issue here, perception is a whole different story. And it probably doesn't help Google that this also follows a recent marketing campaign from Microsoft designed to create unease with Gmail's privacy policy, not to mention the whole PRISM thing. People aren't exactly trusting of big companies when it comes to privacy these days.
The Compose Box
But this whole privacy discussion is really only one part of the current backlash against Gmail, and the others are very real things that Google has implemented for better or worse.
Back in October, Google began testing its new compose box. In March, Google began rolling it out to everyone, though it was still optional. This week, the company announced that it will no longer be optional. Users are going to need to get used to it.
The problem is that a lot of users aren't getting used to it. In fact, a lot of users just downright hate it. Personally, I don't really see the big deal, but people have been quite vocal about it in comments on our coverage of the feature since it rolled out.
There have been quite a few comments like, "new gmail compose is absolutely terrible" and "Absolutely the worst interface ever."
Again, I just don't see it, but clearly a lot of people agree with these.
Google has even gone so far as to provide users with the option to make the compose box full screen, but users still aren't into it.
"Now that that option is available, we're saying farewell to the old compose and switching everyone to the new compose over the next few days. The new compose opens drafts as a minimizable window so you can write multiple drafts at once, keep an eye on incoming email, adds support for inline images and much more," says Google in a Gmail Google+ post.
A more recent comment, which again, is after the inclusion of the full-screen option, says:
Everything is hidden and needs more clicks. It reminds me strongly of MS Vista. Sure it had improvements but many things were buried under more clicks and more mouse movement. I hope Google comes to their senses quickly. Or maybe everyone in their management uses tablets for 90% of their work now and they are out of touch with people who use a mouse and keyboard with a "real" computer.
So frustrating. I can't remember ever feeling the urge to find an alternative to gmail before but I definitely felt it today. No, I probably won't switch, but that's only due to the hassle of it...
More comments like these continue to roll in even as I write this.
Finally, the new tabbed interface.
This one is easily fixable if you don't like it. You can adjust the settings to basically make your inbox look the way it used to. I haven't seen quite the amount of online backlash over this as I have over the compose box, and that's probably why. Most of the people I have talked to about the interface immediately adjusted their settings to revert back to the old style as soon as the new one was thrust upon them. I'm still using the old style on one account and the new one on another (personal/work). I honestly haven't made up my mind on which I prefer.
Regardless of what users think about, it does present some new things for businesses to think about in terms of getting their email messages viewed by consumers (yes, consumers who have opted to receive such messages).
It's still early, but there is some research out there, and it's actually not so bad for businesses. The good news is that those who were already engaging with marketing emails are doing so more with the new interface.
Last week, we looked at research from Return Path, which showed that users who are "routinely engaged" with marketing email are reading a slightly higher percentage of their marketing email now – an increase of 2.11%.
On the flip side, the study found that read rates have dropped to around 10% for Gmail users who have had a "medium engagement" level with marketing email (which makes up 88% of all Gmail users, according to the firm). Those with the lowest engagement level read far fewer marketing messages dropping from 2% to 0.4%.
Again, this is early research, and we don't know how many users are actually using the new tabs. It's still something marketers are going to have to show some level of concern about.
When it comes to redesigns, new features or any other issues with online services, the disgruntled ones are always the most vocal, so regardless of how many complaints there are about any of these things, it's not necessarily an indication that Gmail is going to lose many users.
It's hard to say if any of this will lead to any significant change in webmail market share, but competitor Yahoo is having a hard enough time keeping users happy itself. Perhaps Microsoft does have something to gain.
Are you concerned about Gmail privacy? Do you like the new compose box? How about the new tabbed interface? Are any of these things making you rethink your Gmail use, or how you conduct your email marketing? Let us know in the comments.

Eggstravaganza set for Saturday at Jeannette Assembly of God
The Lenten season finds the faithful seeking out fish fries and worship services while little ones await a visit from the Easter Bunny.
At the Jeannette Assembly of God on Route 130, the faithful can find a mix of all of this.
Now in its eighth year, the Easter Eggstravaganza has entertained about 150 kids and their parents and, with activities such as face painting and hair creations, the number may increase.
The Rev. Joe Charest, youth pastor at the church, said that "trying to reach out to the community" and a public representation of faith is an important message to send.
After majoring in recreational studies at the University of Massachusetts, Charest was encouraged by his roommate to attend a Christian group on campus.
After several requests, Charest said, "Finally to appease him, I went. The people there seemed genuinely interested in me and I figured if someone's praying for you, it has to be good, right?"
Soon after, he entered into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
He attended a Baptist Church for a time and then attended services at a Pentecostal Church in Northampton, which he described as a different experience.
In what might today be considered a risky move, the church members invited him and his friends to their home after church services.
"They didn't even know us," he said.
As a result of the pastor talking about Central Bible College in Springfield, Mo., Charest and four of his college mates went there together. Charest earned his degree in religious education.
He met his wife, Tina, at a UMass reunion and the two married in 1974.
They have three children, Jen, who is 32 and a pastor's wife; Joel, 30, who is a missionary to Mozambique and is also a cancer survivor; and Jonathan, 29, who is a United States Marine and attends classes at North Carolina State majoring in business.
Charest became involved with the Assembly of God Church in Worcester, Mass., and after spending some time as a volunteer, he was asked to become a full-time employee.
A call from a pastor who wanted him to work at a school changed his path, then, after a visit, Charest said, "From that moment, I knew I was supposed to be there."
He spent 20 out of his 24 years at the school as principal.
He and his wife decided to follow their daughter, Jen, to Erie and taught for three more years and then felt the call to move to children's ministry.
Charest then became involved with the New Stanton Assembly of God, but three bouts of serious illnesses landed him in the hospital and he had to resign his position.
That ultimately brought him to the Assembly of God in Jeannette, where he is celebrating his fourth year as children's pastor.
Charest is excited about the Eggstravaganza this weekend and all the activities that the church holds. The Eggstravangza will be held from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday on the church grounds.
Kids from preschool through grade six can enjoy games like plinko and knock the bunny down and board games. There will be hair creations by Stephanie Kurlej and free food like hot dogs, chips, drinks and cotton candy.
Wendy Rose, the artist who worked in conjunction with Charest to paint murals on the interior of the classrooms, will offer face painting at the Eggstravaganza.
All the activities will culminate in an Easter egg hunt in which more than 4,000 eggs with prizes and candy inside are waiting to be found on the property.
The hunt will occur rain or shine, although some activities will be moved indoors if the weather is too severe.
Also appearing is Charest's own "Happy the Clown," a gentle, loving clown who is just happy in Jesus. Charest has been portraying his alter-ego for more than 40 years at birthday parties, preschools, Lions Club activities and other events.
For children who are nervous, he's accompanied by a timid friend, Tink the Turtle, who is shy.
Tabitha's Closet, in which gently used clothing is given away for free, occurs every spring, and vacation Bible school will be held from July 7-11 and will offer classes not only for children, but teens and adults, as well.
The Jeannette Assembly of God offers something for every member of the family and welcomes anyone willing to visit.
Services begin with Sunday school at 9:30 a.m. and worship begins at 10:40.
Church services can be heard on the radio for a live broadcast on KFB 770AM at 11 a.m. and Children's Church begins at 11:15.
At 6 p.m., Evening Evangelistic Services are held.
Each service has a fully staffed nursery, van transportation for those who need a ride and a handicapped ramp.
Tuesdays are family nights with service starting at 7, adult Bible study, Royal Rangers for boys, MPact for girls and Youth Alive for older teens.
The church staff can be reached at 724-832-7066 during business hours. All are welcome.

This Is Ground
Satisfactory storing, but strong leather smell
The idea of having all cords in one place seemed very practical, so I ordered this piece. Indeed, it can carry all cords necessary for a mobile phone, as appears in the photo, but the two pockets fit the recharger plug rather tight, so either I carry it separately or end up with some extra volume. Since the idea is to have all necessary equipment together, I guess some extra volume is ok to handle. What is unpleasant about this item is its very strong smell of leather that doesn't seem to wear off. It was packed in plastic, but even after sometime in fresh air the smell is still strong.

- 1 tablespoon chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- One 1 1/2-pound flank steak

In a processor, pulse the garlic with the onion, lime juice, chili powder, salt and cumin. With the machine on, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until a wet paste forms. Rub the paste all over the steak.
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Grill the steak over a medium-high fire for 10 minutes, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 125° to 130° for medium rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
Cut the steak across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the meat on a platter. Squeeze 2 lime wedges over the steak slices, then top with the shredded cheese and cilantro. Serve with the warm corn tortillas and the remaining lime wedges.

SWG Star Wars Galaxies Lok
One of the first planets in the Karthakk system to be colonized, the harsh world of Lok was originally home to outlaws, who saw the world as a potential staging ground for raids into the Mid-Rim. Over time, Lok became known as a "pirate world," where anarchy and violence were the only constants.
Lok has fairly varied terrain, ranging from the dangerous sulfur pools to bubbling lava pits. The landscapes are generally foreboding: jagged mountain ranges, long expanses of baked desert, and desolate flats are typical environments on Lok. The presence of pirates and others is evident in the shipwrecks, burned-out bases, abandoned settlements, and destroyed vehicles that litter the planet.
Before the Battle of Naboo, one of the most prominent leaders on Lok was a Feeorin pirate named Nym. The hardy alien - who has only become more formidable with age - spent many years battling the Trade Federation. He is now a local crime lord, but it is also rumored that he is very sympathetic to the Rebellion...

Chefs' Picks: Favorite Spice Blendsby Samantha Lande in Restaurants, October 10th, 2015
Chefs' Picks tracks down what the pros are eating and cooking from coast to coast.
To say spices are an important part of cooking is to put it mildly: Spices have started wars, inspired love, spawned exploration and made food much better tasting. From curry to BBQ rubs, custom blends to single seasonings, four chefs from across the country share their most-loved spice.
Fennel Spice Rub
Chef Eric Donnelly of the seafood-centric RockCreek in Seattle creates his own self-described "totally bulletproof" spice rubs throughout the menu. "I use it on a ton of items including fish, some lighter meats such as rabbit and pork, even roasted vegetables like cauliflower and potatoes," he says.

We had and have quite some trouble with the WYSIWYG integration provided by media.
I think one of the reasons is that people that should / would solely focus on the media handling are bothered with WYSIWYG stuff - which's quite another problem space.
There's enough work in the Media / File Entity world already, and interruptions by WYSIWYG stuff doesn't help getting the work there done.
Proposed resolution
One general module that provides the basic handling including a JS API for WYSIWYG integrations similar to / the same as the one provided by Media.
With integrations for each WYSIWYG integration module e.g. WYSIWYG, CKEditor incorporated.
- Provides by default an enabled wysiwyg file display mode (Ensures only a single html tag (
) is used as placedholder).
The default behaviour could be overwritten by more complex WYSIWYG integrations..
- The WYSIWYG JS API as currently provided by media - to be extended.
- The integration into the WYSIWYG module as currently provided by media
- The integration into the CKEditor module as provided by #1504696: Integration with CKEditor module (second priority).
#2142571: Spin-off WYSIWYG support in dedicated module / project
#2062721: Add a white list of file fields that can be overwritten when the file is added in the wysiwyg
#2194821: Embedded media objects should honor display suite settings
#1792738: Allow custom file view modes for WYSIWYG display
#2126697: Wysiwyg -- Alt and Title fields require some special handling.
#1504696: Integration with CKEditor module
#2328493: Async behavior of wysiwyg plugin attach/detach leads to some media tags not being replaced in time
#2348439: Allow dynamic WYSIWYG markup
Original Report
Ok, so inline embedding of media via the plugin supplied by the media module. It almost works!
What I'd like to do Is help in a push to get the work finished. Here's my findings and my current set up.
Ok so using media v1 (not the unstable v2) both dev and beta 5, latest stabl and dev of wysiwyg and Drupal 7.8.
Ok, long story short, the problem with the current dev as I see it is that when editing via wysiwyg (CKEditor) the current media-wysiwyg plugin tries to render the complete player (passes rendering to the media module, in turn to the file display formatter). It should be using a placeholder and only applying the formatter on node display, when relivent JS/CSS libs can be added ect)
in more detail...
From what I can tell, as far as adding the inline media elements goes, all works well, if you stick to the file display mode (under media) as generic file there is no problme at all.
The problem is that if you set the display formatter (via media) to anything other than generic file the wysiwyg removes the markup on attach as it fails to render properly, also if anything other than generic file is selected the media embed popup breaks and won't submit on the output settings form.
It's soo close though, adding a file (formatting set to generic for all types) works, as does displaying the file (icon displayed), and clicking edit shows the file icon as expected too!
However once the output formatter gets changed the editor strips the media embed on attach, and trying to add media inline does not work as the submit button fails on the output mode screen.
As a test I tried adding the media via wysiwyg with the output formatters all set to generic file. No problem there, once I'd edited the node I went and changed the output formatter to a video renderer (mediaelement is being used for testing) and the inlien media is rendered correctly and formatted in the chosen formatter! Only problem is this formatter breaks the wysiwyg on re-editing.
My opinion is that when in the editor a placeholder image should be used regardless of output styling (currently it seems to want to try to style the output within the editor, which breaks it). and that the output styling should be applied on the input format level (replace the image with forced attributes with the relevant formatter), the last piece to the puzzle is parsing the media inline code (the [mediaxxx] coding) when the edit button is clicked back into the placeholder with attributes.
It seems that this is not too far from the direction dev is taking. Anyone out there that I can talk to to get involved finishing off this (currently broken) solution??
Please shout! I'm gonna get in touch with the maintainers of Media to see if I can get involved, push this forward, but I need help with defining starting points ect, as this work is pretty deep in Wysiwyg Javascript and drupal file handling core. Any help, either in getting involved or getting this fixed up would be so much appreciated!

I have been struggling with this issue too ( http://drupal.org/node/1261194#comment-5162928 )
Maybe I could help on the javascript side (and php too). I think the comments in #0 is right about the image placeholder, judging by this comment:
// @TODO: the folks @ ckeditor have told us that there is no way
// to reliably add wrapper divs via normal HTML.
// There is some method of adding a "fake element"
// But until then, we're just going to embed to img.
// This is pretty hacked for now.
Comment #4idflood CreditAttribution: idflood commented
Here is a buggy patch, but it highlights what pieces are wrong. It's buggy in a sense that it will eventually break things, but I can embed audio with it.
Reading the @todo again, we might want to use the "fake element" method instead of the the placeholder image. This ckeditor feature isn't really well documented but it may be the proper way of doing it.
Comment #5idflood CreditAttribution: idflood commented
looking at the code, I saw why the "fake object" solution hasn't been used:
* Due to problems handling wrapping divs in ckeditor, this is needed.
* Going forward, if we don't care about supporting other editors
* we can use the fakeobjects plugin to ckeditor to provide cleaner
* transparency between what Drupal will output

* instead of just , for now though, we're going to remove all the stuff surrounding the images.

Comment #7idflood CreditAttribution: idflood commented
I've tried to document myself about these fake objects, and if the following is correct I would say it's the way to go.
- possible to have an edit button. So we could then edit the media and not the placeholder image (select different format, ...)
- it's cleaner and will simply display the embed code in plain text for other editors (than ckeditor)
- also use most of the time a placeholder image, so displaying the real object in wysiwyg is still not possible
Comment #8dman CreditAttribution: dman commented
Chipping in, following a direct enquiry from idflood.
I have a manifesto/rant posted at http://drupal.org/sandbox/dman/1075470 my embedder sandbox project. This runs down my evaluation of a dozen previous "media" embedder filters. I'm planning to abstract and re-imagine them all into one pluggable, somewhat consistent approach. Nice big read.
TLDR: No more fake embed tags and markdown!
HTML,XHTML,HTML5 are capable of handling new-ish objects with additional valid attributes. It is actually EASIER to get a WYSIWYG, or inline filter to parse and render valid HTML-style tags and do interesting things to them than it is to rewrite yet another [square-bracket=tokenizer] made-up syntax.
I've worked already on WYSIWYG integration for my playground WYSIWYG project (works), and if I can figure out how to get right-click context menus working under wysiwyg.module+ckeditor I'd be done.
I'll revisit the status of my sandbox and see if a D7 port can go places.
I don't have all the background yet on the media project (though I tried again last week with uneven results) so not 100% sure about the current state of play, but between this, embedder and http://drupal.org/sandbox/dman/1110890 image_ownage and a few other render libraries I haven't released yet ... I'd like to help us all move forward to a nice generic solution.
Comment #10dman CreditAttribution: dman commented
I'm not talking about any special features of HTML5 or new tags, and my own work on government web standards and accessibility with Drupal should demonstrate that.
No, my whole big noisy point is that we should use SGML/XML/HTML style extensible markup
<tag attr="val" /> and not another
[[tag|attr=val]] markdown syntax.
When it comes to rendering, we would still scan, parse and re-render our elements using whatever filter options we like - normal.
When using the WYSIWYG, we *may* need to re-render and swap between representations when switching to view-source and back ... as we currently do anyway, but I think the code will be simpler if transforming html to html than it is transforming something that has to be string matched and tokenized.
And when the code is saved in the database, it is valid, useful, stand-alone code. Not something that will leave
[[fake,custom=markdown]] pseudo-tags in the source when you try to export the database.
This is my mission, and I'd cry if I saw media project moving forward with its own made-up markdown, when there is already a well-known syntax that can do everything we want, with a thousand tools already written to work with it - it's called HTML.
Comment #11aaron CreditAttribution: aaron commented
We can't use standard HTML in our markup, because of the security risks involved.
Comment #12dman CreditAttribution: dman commented
"security risks"? Do you know what they are?
Are you saying that something like

... that gets rewritten by the output filter *anyway* is a security risk on your setup but the equivalent in
[square brackets] are not?
Sure, we have to be aware of nastiness that people can attempt to insert into style tags and attributes ... but that can be filtered normally anyway. There are a few things to be aware of, but stop and identify them first.
[fake markdown] syntax only became popular because
- it was less scary for editors in very simple cases, and
- was mostly compatible (that is - ignored) and safe with both non-and-wysiwyg editors.
Seeing as we are building full WYSIWYG integration anyway we don't have to be limited to a dummies version of HTML for the internal syntax, we can do it properly again. As I demonstrated on my embedder project page - after a while, the dummies version gets *more* complex and harder to write than real markup as it tries to sandwich more settings in.
If we use XML-style markup, the tools - like jquery and xpath and DOM manipulation - work for free. With
[square brackets] people are just inventing their own language and need to write their own parsers.
If you have real security concerns, please be specific.
Sorry for dragging this issue a little off-topic and raising this idea here, but it's something I've been working on for years now, and feel strongly that it is very neccessary for any media embedding solution to progress. I'd love to get it working with the media project - if we can abandon the turn-of-the-century-style bbcode and get comfortable with SGML again.
Comment #13Lukas von Blarer CreditAttribution: Lukas von Blarer commented
I totally agree with dman. But: Shouldn't we work on a solution so that people like me do not have to dump the Media module once again? Am I currently seriously not able to embed a PDF in WYSIWYG?
Comment #14Lukas von Blarer CreditAttribution: Lukas von Blarer commented
I am trying to get this issue resolved for now, but I cannot wait until we figured out a clean approach to this. Except you have already.
The media/js/wysiwyg-media.js is the main file of concern, right?
Here is the issue:
- I upload a PDF inside a WYSIWYG (TinyMCE or CKEditor)
- I try to select a Format for the file e.g. "Full"
- I get an error "imgElement is undefined" in wysiwyg-media.js on Line 195.
Am I wrong or does this file assume that every element we embed hat a image placeholder? Could the maintainer of the WYSIWYG integration tell me how this works and I will try to fix this.
Comment #15emptyvoid CreditAttribution: emptyvoid commented
I'm browsing the wysiwyg-media.js and as was mentioned the code expects an image. However this breaks when uploading local audio/video media as (unless you install something like the video module the media won't have a thumbnail). In the previous module Embedded External Media the uploader could select and or upload a thumbnail for the local media (I won't elaborate on that subject as is isn't what this thread is about).
What if, based on the mime type (file extension) add a place holder icon for the file type?
What would be even better is documentation or sample source code for registering a rendering display for a given community module. Like stipulating how to register the JW player module (embedmedia.js or the 20 or so other client-side player/renders) to render both on the view state of an entity and during the edit state in a wysiwyg editor.
I also agree with dman that instead of using markdown that using a img tag with additional attributes could cover the "edit" mode display of a given display renderer.
Quick search (http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=m...)
So would automatically adding a mime type icon make the js and input filter work half way?
Or maybe a shorter answer is to just have 5 icons to broadly represent the 5 different file types?
Comment #16Lukas von Blarer CreditAttribution: Lukas von Blarer commented
Documentation is really needed since I really had no idea how and where to fix this issue.
The placeholder approach sounds good. I think generalized icons would be enough for now. Lets take the default file types: Application (multipurpose), Audio, Image, Text, Video, Other
Can someone tell what needs to be done?
Comment #17emptyvoid CreditAttribution: emptyvoid commented
After toying around with it further it has become obvious that actually we need to specify three states for a style and or rendering display.
- Rendering in View mode.
- Rendering in Edit mode.
- Rendering thumbnail in media browser mode.
Expended requirements:
- Provide a default behavior and icon displays for any rendering display that doesn't specify a thumbnail rule set.
- Provide an API to define a rendering hook for each state that can be registered for a rendering display.
- Provide a default form with the ability to override/extend the form per rendering display for properties and settings to override the default rendering properties.
Thoughts, additions?
update: I have successfully setup JW Player to render video locally. However, the problem is defining the rendering display type. It doesn't work completely but here is the following scenarios where I got it to work.
Video as a Field of a Node (content type)
I created a "Video" content type and added a file field that uses the media browser as the display option (when editing). Browsing and selecting an uploaded view was successful. To make the video selectable in the media browser I had to specify a Content type icon display for the "Preview" style.
Next, I defined the JW Player render mode for the File Field in the Content Type and book it rendered the field as I expected.
Placing a video in the body of a node
Here is where it all falls apart.
The goal would be to place a local video via the media browser into the Wysiwyg editor and have the ability to see a placeholder that you could move around in the body DOM and change properties on.
As mentioned in the previous configuration I had a:
- Video type
- Multiple File Styles ("preview", "large" being the more relevant).
- File rendering styles (Icon Media Type and JW Player)
In order to place a local video I had to specify the Preview file style to use the Mime type icon renderer. Specifying the JW Player renderer for any of the File styles resulted in rendering a tiny JW player in the media browser and the "element" reference totally disappearing in Edit mode.
However, if I use the Mime Type icon rendering while in edit mode I could place video. But when viewing the parent node the icon would render. If (without editing the node again) I change the render display (for the video type and the render type) to JW Player. Then BOOM, the JW player appears and plays the local video.
But as soon as I click "edit" the "element" never renders and is gone from the wysiwyg DOM. :(
Does this make sense and have I described the problem accurately?
Would this module help? http://drupal.org/project/entity_view_mode or http://drupal.org/project/ds
Comment #18emptyvoid CreditAttribution: emptyvoid commented
Lukas von Blarer the good news is the module already comes with a few themed icon sets. We just have to figure out how to make the "mime type icon" rendered and make it render for a local video in the media browser and the edit state while allowing a different file renderer on view.
For now I've dodged a bullet on my current project. But I may have time over the next few months to work on a few patches for this.. I won't post anything until I feel it doesn't cause everything to become unstable.
I'll post my research and thoughts to the group and I hope everyone else can confirm/deny and or contribute some thought to figure this out and getting a patch committed.. it is a long time coming.
Till then. happy holidays.
Comment #19Lukas von Blarer CreditAttribution: Lukas von Blarer commented
Hey emptyvoid
This is quite much what I experienced. I have never had elements disappearing from the DOM. One problem I had is that it saved the node with the body containing the placeholder image saved in it.
I would love to see progress here. Tell me if I can help somehow.
Comment #20langworthy CreditAttribution: langworthy commented
I can confirm that with media 2.0-unstable3 and mediaelement 1.2 I am unable to add audio files of a certain format (ex: Large) only if i've applied a display to it (ex: MediaElement Audio). The submit button simply doesn't do anything. Should I open a separate issue for this?
Comment #21nikosnikos CreditAttribution: nikosnikos commented
I think emptyvoid is right in #17 when he says that the problem is in wysiwyg insertion and that media should have two render modes : one for wysiwyg edit (an image) and one for node view (the real media rendered).
Actually for the moment media can not insert anything in a wysiwyg edit field but an image. It is hardcoded. And it is not simple for a module to say "I want you to insert this image in wysiwyg and this rendered media in node view"
I don't really know how, but media_vimeo and media_youtube can insert an image in wysiwyg and render a vimeo/youtube embeded object in node view. So it is probably possible but how ? It's probably necessary to add some js.
PS. langworthy : there's already an issue about that : #1062948: Issue getting Media, Styles and WYSIWYG working together with MediaElement.js
Comment #22gollyg CreditAttribution: gollyg commented
There are at least two issues preventing this from working.
- currently the js looks for an img element in the inserted files rendering. In the case of a video, for example, there is not an img element in the code, and this breaks the js. The suggested approach of using the media.preview seems like the right approach for now, as it will insert the rendering that appears in the media browser, which should correspond to the media files preview display mode.
- The other aspect is the Drupal.setting.tagMap object. This keeps a mapping of filter string (eg format [[something]] > preview HTML. The filter string is always the bit stored in the node body, and then the wysiwyg swap out the filter string for its corresponding HTML snippet. Keeping this in sync is vital for the operation of the editor - if it is out of sync then data can be lost when editing the node.
I am happy to look into this when I find a little time.
Comment #23emptyvoid CreditAttribution: emptyvoid commented
Hey nikosnikos, the secret is a input filter.
I've used a module in D6 to emulate the media module: http://drupal.org/project/nodereference_explorer
it uses markdown for the object saved into the node body.
But it includes two renders: one for the WYSIWYG state (using a post-processor client-side/ajax script to replace the object in the DOM of the editor) and another rendering state of the node view (using an input filter)
Perhaps this technique could be used to address the problem we've been talking about?

If anyone is looking for a temporary solution I got this working by creating an image formatter based on the media_youtube one. This is all pretty hacky but works.
This creates an image display called "Video Preview Image" that you need to enable at /admin/structure/file-types/manage/video/file-display and put above "MediaElement Video"
There is a hardcoded image called video_placeholder.png in root of files.
EDIT: module is called "atwork_video", change as desired
* Implements hook_field_formatter_info().
* Copied from media_youtube
function atwork_video_field_formatter_info() {
$formatters = array();
// add image formatter for wysiwyg placeholder
$formatters['video_placeholder_image'] = array(

function atwork_video_file_formatter_image_view($file, $display, $langcode) {
$wrapper = file_stream_wrapper_get_instance_by_uri($file->uri);
$image_style = $display['settings']['image_style'];
$valid_image_styles = image_style_options(FALSE);

I am not able to find any resolution for #29. Basically when I attempt to add the audio file using the wysiwyg. The modal closes but doesn't actually add the audio "media" tag. So no file is added. I can add images and youtube fine.
Comment #53Michael-IDA CreditAttribution: Michael-IDA at Internet Design Alliance commented
Adding my 2 cents, as after after 6 years?, Media 2.x only seems to handle in line embedding of an image in to a WYSIWYG field.
Media 2.x basically breaks if any of the "Link" or "Advanced" tab options are used on the media browser button, Image Properties, pop up.
The only way I've gotten the media browser button to create an in line image with a link to a colorbox in a WYSIWYG edit field is to follow most of the instructions at #2082037-98: Document Upgrade Path from Media 1.x to Media 2.x/3.x with special emphasis on the section ::Colorbox and the note [1].
While Media 1.x was a bit of a pain to do this, it did it well and allowed you to use any Display type.
Using the media browser button to add images with links is also an arcane art. It occasionally works, but so far I haven't found any reliable way, or a guide on what the specific steps are, to do it consistently.

80s at 8 for 4-2-2014
Welcome to the 80's at 8 blog, updated daily with today's show content and the music videos for all the songs we've played. If you keep Steve Martin's speech to Mrs. Poole handy for dealing with incompetent customer service reps, if you were ever blown away by the deadly combination of Magnum PI's mustache and red Ferrari, if you think there's certainly nothing wrong a little pizza on our time, or if you've ever been tempted to go ahead and cross the streams, then you're in the right place; this is the 80s at 8. We're kicking today's show off with a song from 1984 that was a worldwide number 1 hit, and Prince showed off all his skills that year, but not only starring in the movie Purple Rain, he also directed the music video. Here's "When Doves Cry"
From 1983 David Bowie "China Girl" If you ever rushed home from school to watch After School Specials with titles like "High School Narc" and "Just Tipsy, Honey", then you're listening to the right station; this is the 80s at 8 From 1983 Naked Eyes "Always Something There To Remind Me"
From 1983 Taco "Puttin On The Ritz" If you ever picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue or if you'd die before you put Baby in a corner, then you're listening to the right station; this is the 80s at 8 From 1981 Human League "Don't You Want Me"
From 1981 Human League "Human" That song was the biggest seller of 1981 in the UK, moving 1.4 million copies and was the first #1 in the UK for Richard Branson's Virgin label. Here is the answer to the timeline, in which year did each of the following things take place?
Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated.
Crockett and Tubbs introduced the world to white and pastel suits with the premiere of Miami Vice.
& City kid Kevin Bacon showed an uptight preacher and a town yearning for excitement how to cut Footloose in 1984. That same year also saw the release of a song that was a German protest song and originated from a Rolling Stones concert. Here's Nena "99 Luftballoons"
From 1983 The Fixx "One Thing Leads To Another" If you'll never eat rabbit because Fatal Attraction gave you nightmares, if you'd change political parties for Alex P. Keaton or if you're keeping your hair crimper in storage in hopes that look comes back again, then you're in the right place; this is the 80s at 8 1985 Eddie Murphy "Party All The Time"
From 1984 Twisted Sister "We're Not Gonna Take It" If you're hoping to have a baby boy someday who could appreciate your Transformers and Castle of Greyskull, then you're listening to the right station; this is the 80s at 8 From 1982 The Motels "Only The Lonely"
From 1983 Frankie Goes To Hollywood "Relax Come Fighting" If your tastebuds know the difference between Juicy Juice and Capri Sun, then you're in the right place; this is the 80s at 8 From 1988 The Proclaimers "I'm Gonna Be 500 Miles"

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/4/2014 (1201 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
An adjunct professor with Brandon University has published a comprehensive, first-of-its-kind reference work on a topic of growing concern to individuals and nations alike — the quality of life.
Dr. Alex Michalos spent the last five years creating the "Encyclopedia of Quality of Life and Well-Being Research," a 12-volume set containing essays from scholars in 58 countries on hundreds of topics, including friendship, illiteracy, marginalized communities, yoga, gambling and 22 of the most popular quality of life indexes used by governments and public policy institutes.
"This is a shared public space for the exploration of what is true, beautiful and morally good — a repository of the vast scope and complexity of scientific and scholarly research on quality of life, especially from the past 50 years," Michalos said.
Michalos hopes the 75,000-word treatise gives direction to the next 10-20 years of research and informs public debate.
Michalos is a member of the Order of Canada (2010), served as director of research for the Canadian Index of Wellness (2006-2011), and received the highest honour from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Gold Medal for Achievement in Research (2004).
Emeritus professor in political science from the University of Northern British Columbia, he has published 26 books and founded or co-founded seven scholarly journals, including the Journal of Business Ethics, the most frequently cited journal in the world devoted to business ethics.

In her first British race since her Athens double, Holmes dominated proceedings from the outset to surge to the tape in four minutes 28.7 seconds.
A large crowd lined the course in the bracing Tyneside conditions to celebrate another Holmes victory.
She took two seconds off Sureyya Ayhan's record of last year, with Helen Clitheroe a distant second in 4:33.4.
"I was really nervous when I woke up this morning," said Holmes, who now plans to enjoy a delayed holiday.
"It was just like a major championship race with so many spectators coming to
the event.
"I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who has supported
me this year."
Ivan Heshko claimed victory in the men's Great North Mile, denying world 5,000m champion Eliud Kipchoge with a thrilling last-gasp charge.
Kipchoge had led from the the gun until Heshko brushed past him by the narrowest margin in his final stride.
Both were given the same time, four minutes 02.6 seconds, eclipsing Briton Michael East's course record of 4:03.08 clocked a year ago.

CD Out of stock
We're out of these, but it's still available as a download here, and there are still plenty left at VHF Records.
Black Twig represents the continued persistence of a type of Appalachian folk music that has come and gone from the popular radar over the years, but has never really disappeared from the band's Southwest Virginia home. The songs on "North Fork Flyer" are mostly traditional numbers (with a few originals sprinkled in) that form the backbone of a century-plus-old tradition - the music of bonfires, front porches, coal miner's festivals, and informal gatherings. Over the years, "mountain ragas" (as the group calls them) like "Angelina Baker," "Spike Driver's Blues," "Poor Boy Long Ways From Home" and "Sail Away Ladies" have been recorded, performed, and revised continually by luminaries such as Bukka White, Mississippi John Hurt, John Fahey, Bob Wills, Holy Modal Rounders, New Lost City Ramblers, etc, etc - a who's who of true American artistry. Recorded live to DAT on front porches and in family rooms, "North Fork Flyer" blends fiddle blues, sinewy guitar and the drone and twitch of fretless clawhammer banjo with the band's rough-around-the-edges but warm harmonies. Played to the accompaniment of night insects, passing trains, and the noise of wandering children, the music retains the charm of tradition but is free of fake antiquarianism and nostalgia - regardless of age, the music is just as relevant today as it was 100 years ago and the band plays it like they mean it. The band name comes from the oldest, most crotchety apple variety in the orchard that fiddler Ralph Berrier's family maintains along the musically fertile Virginia-North Carolina line. 17 Tracks, 50 Minutes.

Artist: The New Trust
Date Released: September 21, 2004 (recorded 2003)
Label: Slowdance
Produced By:
- This Invitation has Meant the World to Me
- Don't Even Get Me Started on Jebus
- All Things are Moving Toward Their End
- Crashed Out
- I Thought that We Getting Together
- I'm a Sucker for Backwards Drums
- Live You Mean It
- When the Bombs Go Off
Never has an album (or EP in this case) been so aptly titled. The New Trust's We Are Fast-Moving Motherfuckers. We Are Women and Men of Action is 8 tracks of upbeat and catchy as hell indie-rock that clocks in at around 18 min. Averaging at about 2 minutes a piece, each song is a raw combination of guitar hooks, simple, yet effective bass lines, snare/cymbal patterns and slightly punk-y vocals that express concerns about religion, politics, death and relationships (but not in a diluting way). The band features members of new-to-the scene acts including The Velvet Teen, Benton Falls and Transistor Transistor; and this EP, which is actually a re-release, has been added to the up and coming Slowdance catalog. If you dig fast-paced and fun indie-rock that is as intelligent as it is catchy, you will love The New Trust. Mpardaiolo


text: * Strong Japanese earnings limit declines * Correction likely be short-term - fund manager By Ayai Tomisawa TOKYO, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average dropped on Friday morning after U.S. shares languished on concerns that interest rates could rise sooner than expected, but strong earnings from Sony Corp and Panasonic Corp limited the losses. The Nikkei dropped 0.3 percent to 15,581.03 in mid-morning trade. For the week, the index looked set to gain 0.5 percent. The U.S. S&P500 stock index posted its worst daily fall since April on worries that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates sooner than some have expected after news that U.S. labour costs recorded their biggest gain in more than 5-1/2 years in the second quarter. "The market is very sensitive about the direction of U.S. interest rates now," said Masashi Oda, chief investment officer at Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank. "The data triggered profit-taking since U.S. shares were at record highs and Japan shares were hitting multi-month highs recently. It will likely be a short-term correction." He added that Japanese corporate earnings for the April-June quarter have so far boosted expectations that companies have managed to weather the impact of a national sales tax hike enacted in April. Sony jumped 6.5 percent to 1,887 yen, the highest since late April and was the third most-traded stock after its quarterly operating profit unexpectedly doubled, helped by a strong performance in its games and networks division. Panasonic soared 3.1 percent to 1,296 yen, the highest since March 11 after it posted an 28 percent rise in operating profit for the first quarter, beating analyst expectations. Other exporters lost ground on profit-taking, with Toyota Motor Corp shedding 0.6 percent and Honda Motor Co dropping 1.2 percent. The broader Topix shed 0.4 percent to 1,284.70, and the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 declined 0.4 percent to 11,688.52. (Editing by Eric Meijer)

Let me try to view it from your shoes a bit.
Yes, I get that if you are a first time Bimmer owner and have an out of warranty problem you should still leave it the professionals. If you have no mechanical history or don't even know how to unscrew a light bulb, you should not be looking under the hood of a BMW. There are many new owners coming up asking for advice on what I would consider to be very minor issues. I have to calm myself by humbly remembering what it was like when I was new. Just give the information to the best of your ability (possibly references), and let the member take care of the rest.
There are people that hear that nasty quote from the dealer, run and then jump on forums for guidance. I've seen it quite a lot. Those individuals have the most issues. There was a member on the E90 side who took his servotronic motor off and couldn't get it back on.
I told that member they didn't do their homework prior to starting the VCG repair. The vehicle ended up getting towed many miles away to a dealership to finish the repair. (Just that motor)
What I'm getting at is if you can read instructions (the same ones the techs use), then add the input from some VERY knowledgeable members on here that has some experience, then one should be well. I've seen people who has never held a wrench or screwdriver before that did their own oil change and become so proud of themselves that they start crying.
You have to start somewhere. These forums are confusing also, especially when compared to some of the other ones out there, and all you want to do is get help. The moderators do their best to get the questions to the right people. You have to remember that when you're looking for help and you have an issue, you really don't know where to turn. All you want is that guidance to get you started. It is a truly lonely feeling for some. Maybe they bought the wrong car, but they still crave that help and we should give it when we can whenever they do find their way here.
If a member obviously did their homework before attempting repairs, gathering all necessary information that include possible damages, they would have no trouble at all. And those are the members who stay and share additional knowledge.
Check your mirrors as often as it takes for you to know where everyone is around you!

STREAMING: Scott Kelly Solo Album Song Premiere/
Although you might remember him from such Neurosis albums as Souls at Zero, Enemy of the Sun and Through Silver in Blood, let's not forget that guitarist/vocalist Scott Kelly has staked out quite a nice little solo career outside of the band. His latest release, which "streets," as the kids say, on August 14 (Neurot), is called The Forgiven Ghost in Me and mines the same dark Americana vein of previous efforts and his recent work with Scott "Wino" Weinrich. It's basically Kelly, an acoustic guitar and a whole headful of woe (plus a few guests). It's certainly no more spiritually uplifting than his day job's music. But, c'mon, what'd you expect? Fans of bleak, down-beat trad music (a la Mark Lanegan) will no doubt find much to be gloomy about here. Kelly has a rich baritone that resonates like the lower strings of his trusty acoustic. His solo material doesn't exactly have Neurosis' apocalyptic vibe, but it also isn't joyously upbeat and hopeful. And that's why we like it. Give the title track a spin below and see what you think.
The Forgiven Ghost In Me Track Listing: 1. A Spirit Redeemed To The Sun 2. The Forgiven Ghost In Me 3. In The Waking Hours 4. Within It Blood 5. We Let The Hell Come 6. The Sun Is Dreaming In The Soul 7. The Field That Surrounds Me 8. We Burn Through The Night

Tyre Information: Understanding and Reading a Tyre Size and Load Index
Every tyre sold by Tyre Shopper has some markings on the tyre sidewall to indicate key information about that particular tyre product.
How do I read the markings on the sidewall for my tyre speed rating?
The markings indicate the tyre manufacturer, the tyre size, the tyre speed rating, its model, and other information. Both low-profile and standard tyres use this marking standard.
Here is an example:
165 – Refers to tyre section width of 165 millimetres
R – Radial tyre type
13 – Tyre suitable for a 13" diameter wheel
79 – Tyre load index
H – Tyre speed rating of up to 130mph (209.2kmh)
With tyre speed ratings, there are several levels:
S = Up to 113mph
T = Up to 118mph
H = Up to 130mph
V = Up to 149mph
Z = More than 150mph
W = Up to 168mph
Y = Up to 186mph
It is a good idea to only replace a worn tyre with one that has the same or a greater speed rating. As a general rule, a higher speed rating means that the tyre is a better quality product. The improved quality is reflected in superior cornering power, better braking, improve grip to wet roads, and a more responsive steering.
Load Index
Depending on the car, there are some models with a requirement to carry greater loads and those need a higher inflated pressure reading. Check the manufacturer's manual or handbook to confirm this information. Tyres that are designed for higher loads bear the markings XL (Extra Load) or RF (Reinforced).
Low profile tyres have a different marking system to regular tyres:
Here is an example:
185 - Refers to tyre section width of 185 millimetres
60 – Indicating that the sidewall height is 60% of the tyre section width
R – Radial tyre type
14 - Tyre suitable for a 14" diameter wheel
79 = Tyre load index
H - Tyre speed rating of up to 130mph (209.2kmh)
With a standard tyre, the sidewall height is usually 82 percent of the nominal section width. When cutting the percentage of sidewall height compared to tread nominal section width (known as the "aspect ratio"), this enables wider tyres to be used that have extra tread to help grip the road better.
Is it possible to use larger tyres?
Whilst it is recommended that the driver use the tyre size for a specific wheel size, with a profile and width as noted in the owner's manual, a change in size is possible when bearing in mind the wheel offset / inset value. This avoids over-sized wheels and tyres becoming a hindrance to the proper functioning of the wheel arch or suspension on the vehicle.
When making a change in tyre size, be sure to retain a tyre and wheel assembly diameter (aka its rolling circumference) of roughly the same value so that the speedometer and gearing remain unchanged. For more information on this point, take a look at this Car Bibles article which also includes a useful calculator to experiment with different size combinations.
A basic rule to use is that for every 10mm boost to tyre width, a reduction of 5% in the height of the sidewall (known as aspect ratio) is necessary. This calculation only makes sense if the wheel size is unchanged.
For illustrative purposes, it is possible for a 165/70 R13 T tyre to be switched for a 175/65 R13T tyre. Using the calculator from the linked Car Bibles website, the rolling circumference changes with the tyre switch from 1692.54mm to 1681.98mm which is only a (0.62%) or (10.56mm) difference. Aiming for a maximum 3 percent variance when swapping wheels and tyres is a good rule of thumb here.
With that said, the tyres and wheels selected must fit under the wheel arch without making contact with it or being a problem for the vehicle's suspension.
Tyre Shopper Provides Expert Guidance for Tyre Size Changes
Our staff at Tyre Shopper can provide advice to tyre buyers looking to change their tyre size and/or wheel size for something different. Staff can run through the options available with the customer's vehicle. Call us or email at email@example.com.
Please bear in mind that a tyre size / wheel side change is considered a "modification" by some insurance companies in the UK. The insurer needs to be contacted, before making a purchase, to verify that they will continue to insure the vehicle once upgraded.

ince the very beginning of his career, Otomo Yoshihide has been virtually impossible to categorize. Working on the absolute fringes of so many different styles that even his biggest followers must have lost track years ago, hes continually refused to sit still long enough for anyone to pin him down. His roots are in improvisatory jazz, which he started playing at an early age. From his earliest days playing in some quasi-traditional free jazz groups throughout Japan, he quickly moved on, expanding his interests into noise collages and sampler-based music.
Yoshihide first found prominence with his group Ground Zero, a defiantly noisy amalgam of jazz, rock, and the avant-garde that was completely unlike any of those three, and decidedly not fusion either. The group shattered minds with their five phenomenal albums, before disbanding in 1998. But even while a member of Ground Zero, Yoshihide never limited himself to one project, as his increasingly unstoppable flow of releases throughout the late 90s and early 00s has demonstrated. Encompassing turntable-based noise (Sound Factory), abstract, on-the-edge-of-hearing sine wave music with frequent collaborator Sachiko M (Filament 1), or a return to jazz with his New Jazz Quintet, his music at the turn of the millennium has been a never-ending stream of innovation and exploration.
Yoshihide has also been increasingly working in a group context, becoming a major player on the international Improv scene. His records with electronic manipulators Voice Crack and Gunter Muller on a pair of Erstwhile Records collaborations show a musician willing to stretch out even further than ever in his attempts to discover new sounds and styles. Wherever Yoshihides restless muse takes him in the future, it will doubtless be to totally new areas of music, heretofore unexplored corners where this innovator can settle in and carve out his own unique niche.
