Ever since the pancake-thin RAZR, Motorola has had a taste for style. It hasn't always been successful, but the ROKR E8 is worlds away from the blocky, disastrous E1.
This is a glossy black candy bar of a phone, slim and tactile with a glassy-smooth surface across the front. The keys have tiny dots that respond to a press with haptic vibration.
They're not touch-sensitive – you need to apply pressure. But that haptic buzz works well to confirm you've touched a key.
Clever buttons
The way the keys behave differently according to the mode you're in is one of the neatest features on the phone. Press the music icon and the keypad numbers disappear, to be replaced by play, pause and other relevant symbols. Nice one.
Seek out the 2megapixel camera in the multimedia menu and new icons appear to operate the digital zoom and switch from camera to video. You don't have to turn the phone on its side, either, unlike many camera phones.
Dodgy scroll wheel
The other standout feature on the Motorola ROKR E8 is the scroll wheel – well, it's a three-quarters wheel that you run your thumb round to change menu options, music genres and more. Trouble is, it's hard to master.
Thankfully, there are four of those precious glowing dots in the circle, at the north, south, east and west points, so if you tire of the circular movements and its unreliable results, you can plump for these four dots to guide you up and down, left and right.
Among the other music features is Song ID, a version of Sony Ericsson's Track ID that is here powered by Shazam, the original track recognition service. It works well, but the 2in landscape-format screen, though sharp, bright and detailed, is too small to be easy to read.
Decent music storage
The phone's 2GB memory will hold up to 1,500 songs, but you can get lots more on to a microSD card which can add another 8GB. This is a phone which aims to be a music player as much as a phone, so it's no wonder the screen wasn't a priority. Still, Motorola gave the ROKR E8 a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can choose your headphones.
There's an excellent on-off slide switch on the side which also works to lock the keys – simple but effective.
The ROKR E8 isn't without its foibles, then, but it's a cool looker and a decent music phone, as long as you're prepared to put up with the frustrating scroll wheel and the lack of a decent camera.

PACE, Processing and Cognitive Enhancement, is the leading cognitive skills training program available today. PACE is a twelve-week, intensive one-on-one, cognitive training program that corrects and enhances learning skills.
Is your child struggling in school? Does he have difficulty listening, following directions, or doing homework? He may experience frustration every day and may even have been called lazy, unmotivated, or "a student at risk."
If so, the real problem may not be a lack of motivation or proper instruction. Rather, he may lack efficient processing skills. In other words, your child may be able to see or hear information, but cannot identify, interpret, comprehend, remember, or stay on task.
If you have a struggling student in your family, call us. The PACE program is an intense, proven training method that strengthens underlying cognitive skills. We train the entire learning system to function properly.
How Does a Processing Problem Effect a Child?
Young children want to be successful in school. They want to be liked and accepted. Naturally, they cannot understand why learning is so difficult for them when it isn't for their classmates. They feel that something is wrong with them, and it's not getting better. To a struggling child, this is devastating. Most parents are at a loss as to what to do. They have examined all ordinary physical and social reasons for his behavior.
What the struggling student often really needs is a program like PACE. PACE will uncover the processing skills that are not sufficient for proper learning, and will train and strengthen them so that they are properly developed. Children who lack processing skills tend to avoid their schoolwork because it is difficult, discouraging, and frustrating. It's safe to predict that a child like this is already a potential dropout at age nine.
Could Your Child Be At Risk?
Does your child display any of the following behaviors?
• Is unable to sit still or stay on task for any length of time
• Avoids school work if it is complicated or hard
• Often requires instructions to be repeated
• Struggles with reading and spelling
• Has difficulty with comprehension or memory
• Has difficulty sounding out unfamiliar words
• Reversals are common. Reads "was" for "saw" or "b" for "d."
• Completes written work very slowly
• Is disorganized and often leaves task incomplete
• Makes careless errors
PACE May Be The Very Answer You Seek
An efficient learner does not struggle with academics. A child with strong cognitive skills completes homework quickly and correctly. Cognitive skills are learned and PACE directly teaches these skills.
I've had many parents say, "If only I had heard about PACE when he was in elementary school." If your child exhibits one or more of the behaviors above, call today to schedule a screening to evaluate your child's cognitive processing skills. It could be the most important phone call you will make during his or her school years.
What is the PACE strategy?
The training is designed to achieve maximum results in the shortest period of time. PACE is often referred to as a mental boot camp that uses game-like fun non-academic activities to address:
• Attention
• Auditory Processing
• Comprehension
• Logic & Reasoning
• Memory
• Planning
• Processing Speed
• Visual Processing
What if my child has already received extensive testing elsewhere? Do they still need to test at Brainworx?
Regardless of prior testing, all students take the Gibson Cognitive Battery/Woodcock Johnson III. It is a quick screening test that checks your student's performance in the six critical neurological areas that govern learning. Students and parents should bring any additional testing they may have to their initial consultation — including IQ, achievement tests, TAKS tests, neuropsychological evaluations, individual educational plans, reports of ARD meetings, educational diagnostics, and others.
What should we do to prepare for testing at Brainworx?
It is most important that students should be tested at a time of day when they are well rested.
Eat a high quality protein meal prior to the test. No sugar donuts! Hawaiian Punch, sodas and other sweets are discouraged — children sometimes become distracted, hyperactive and silly when they over indulge in sweets, and this can result in questionable test results.
The test typically takes one hour; after the testing you will make an appointment to set up your consultation.
All adult family members (major decision makers) are requested to participate in the initial consultation. If you are unable to leave other children at home, please bring a person to watch them in the lobby while testing and consultation are in progress.
Tutoring or the Brainworx Way?
How does our cognitive training approach differ from our traditional tutoring?
If your child is having problems in school such as having difficulty listening, following directions, or doing homework, fighting frustration every day of his life, or been called lazy, unmotivated, or "a student at risk", traditional tutoring is not the answer!
Simply stated, tutoring merely attempts to re-teach information or a subject such as math, reading, or history, to the existing struggling brain. Brainworx intends to strengthen and change the brain. Tutoring is only a temporary solution. The student never truly performs on his own. Many parents pay thousands of dollars year after year for tutoring. After completing the PACE and Master the Code programs a student has a permanently improved ability to perform independently, at school or work.
1. My child is a strong student … why do we need to come to Brainworx?
2. How often do students come to Brainworx?
3. Do we work with home school students?
4. What is an enhancement program?
5. What are PACE and Master the Code?
6. Why is individual treatment important?
7. What are typical results at Brainworx?
8. How has traditional education failed students with learning disabilities?
My child is a strong student…why do we need to come to Brainworx?
While 70 percent of the students we serve are reporting some type of struggle in the classroom or work setting, the other 30 percent of children and adults we serve are already the strongest students. Nonetheless, they perform the same brain exercises and also experience IQ increases, better ability to concentrate, better capacity to multi-task and higher grades, and are positioning themselves for scholarships.
How often do students come to Brainworx?
The brain needs to perform brain exercises at least five times per week — one hour each time — for structural change to occur. Most of our students attend five days a week for one hour of individual instruction. Some students attend three hours per week, and work with a parent for an additional two hours per week.
Do we work with home school students?
Yes, Many home school students come to Brainworx to catch up or to get ahead. Some students have been struggling with their home school curriculum for years and greatly benefit from our program.
What is an enhancement program?
An enhancement program is undertaken when it is needed after a student completes the traditional PACE and Master the Code programs. After the brain has been strengthened in the six critical neurological areas, some students need to re-learn certain academic material that their brain was unable to process before. Areas we customarily address in enhancement programs to bring the student as close as possible to age level and grade level performance include:
• Study card system
• Greek and Latin word roots
• Timed paragraph writing
• Advanced reading comprehension
• Mathematics
• Customized studies as needed
What are PACE and Master the Code?
The PACE program is designed to help children and adults, age five and older, improve their weak underlying learning skills. Significant gains will be seen in this twelve-week program, helping the student learn easier and faster. Master the Code is our sound-to-code based reading and spelling program, helping students build a solid foundation to sound out words and gain confidence in reading and spelling.
Why is individual treatment important?
First of all no child is alike. They all need individual treatment due to their different needs and different ways to learn. One of the most powerful aspects of a Brainworx program is that it is designed to specifically target your childs weakness's accordingly to their assessment.
What are typical results at Brainworx?
Results of student performance on the Woodcock Johnson that measure eight cognitive skills are often dramatically improved with Cognitive Training at Brainworx. This test measures the brain's ability to handle and process information in the following eight neurological areas most critical to learning:
• Processing Speed: How rapidly and accurately the brain can move through written material to find what it is looking for; how quickly the brain processes information
• Active Working Memory: The brain's ability to make a protein print (called an engram) and retrieve that piece of information from its memory
• Visual Perception/Processing Skills: The brain's ability to handle information from pictures, drawings and shapes. It deals with your ability to use maps, graphs, charts, or set up word problems. This helps the student in the area of math
• Central Auditory Processing: The brain's ability to blend, interpret, and use the 43 sounds of the English language. Problems in this area are one of the best indicators of Dyslexia. Problems in this area result in difficulty concentrating, listening, reading, remembering, writing paragraphs and papers, spelling and following directions
• Word Attack: The brain's ability to sound out and spell words. This allows you to successfully sound out and pronounce any word in the English language regardless of the length or difficulty of the word
• Logic and Reasoning: The brain's ability to break down complex projects into a sequence of steps. Students who are strong in logic and reasoning like to figure things out on their own. A short attention span makes this very difficult. Logic and reasoning trains the brain to focus, pay attention and concentrate. This helps with ADD/ADHD
How has traditional education failed students with learning disabilities?
Particularly in an era of standardized testing we are trying to load increasingly more information, faster and faster on younger and younger brains. Kindergarteners are now required to read, rather than just to follow directions and color. First graders are expected to write sentences and copy from the board. Second graders are expected to read chapter books and take tests independently on computers. As a result, when a brain is immature or struggling with undiagnosed learning disabilities, a child's grades can fall very quickly, a child's self-esteem can be destroyed, and is primed for a lifetime of struggle and difficulty.
In traditional education, children are taught in large groups. If a child is struggling, it is very difficult for the teacher to provide individual support and special instruction, or specific techniques that your child might need. Classrooms are filled with children who, due to these learning weaknesses, simply zone out, missing more and more instruction each day.
Even when teachers try to help, often they are instructed to teach to the students' strengths. Many students, particularly with language processing problems, are highly visual, but how practical is it for a high school student to "draw the Civil War" on the board? We find that teachers teach the way they are taught, and it is our job at Brainworx to provide individualized training to make your student as strong as possible in all critical learning areas — so that, regardless of the methods of instruction the teacher uses, your child will be able to keep up and succeed.
At Brainworx we identify your child's learning problems through our assessment testing, and immediately begin strengthening the brain so that it can handle and process the incoming instruction successfully.
How do we know Brainworx can Help?
If this describes your child, we can help!
• very bright but has frequent zeros and low grades or is failing in school
• hates school
• threatened with special education placement
• very bright and would like to take accelerated academic classes but cannot keep up with the work load
• high school student who wants to go to college but afraid they will flunk out
• receiving modifications in the classroom
• 504 student
• resource special education student
• diagnosed (or suspected) with Attention Deficit Disorder
• diagnosed (or suspected) with Autism
• frequently goes to the nurse's office or complains every morning of a headache or stomachache, begging to stay home from school
• You and your spouse are debating whether your child has something wrong or is simply lazy
• Your child's teachers think your child is bright and not working up to potential
• You receive frequent notes, phone calls, and emails from teachers
• You stay up all night helping your child do homework
• Your child frequently cries while doing homework
• You have a college age student repeatedly requiring remedial classes
• You have a child who is performing below grade level and you would like them to catch up
• You have a child who has been diagnosed with depression because of their school struggles
• You know an adult who hates their job
• You know adults who want to go to college but fear they can't cut it
• You know adults who can't pass a promotion exam
If you face these issues regularly, we can help!
Every one of these children or adults may have weaknesses in the six critical brain-based learning skills that cause them to struggle in the classroom or in work training no matter how hard they try.
Payment Options
How do I pay for this kind of help?
Treatment for learning problems is never an inexpensive process; however Brainworx offers a variety of payment options:
• Cash
• Checks
• VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express
• Installment payment plans, with zero percent interest
• Care Credit – a medical-based credit card with a low interest rate that allows families to obtain treatment for as little as $75.00 per month.
Do we take insurance?
Some families have been successful receiving reimbursements for their Brainworx program. We require that all Brainworx families pay for their services according to their financial agreements, and then they may file their own insurance and be reimbursed directly at a later date. We will be happy to provide letters of medical necessity, dates of services, invoices or other support documents to assist in this process. We do have a medical billing specialist who will be happy to discuss financial arrangements with you or your insurance company.
Students and Medication
We believe brain exercise and brain training are the missing components that make the difference in classroom performance with or without medication.
The decision to take medication for attention problems or for any other medical problems is a decision between the physician and parents/adult students. Brainworx does not make that decision, nor do we make recommendations.
Some of our students take medication while others do not.
Usually we find that taking medication alone will not result in a student's suddenly achieving the A/B honor roll or being promoted.
Many students are unable to take medication due to medical side effects.
My student routinely takes medication for attention/ concentration. Should they take medication on the day of the test?
Normally, students who routinely take prescription medication without side effects should take their medication on the day of the test in order to get best test results. Sometimes families are curious to see how their student will perform without medication. If this is your desire, please let our staff know ahead of time.
What medical diagnoses do we generally encounter in our students?
Most of our students are just regular kids who are struggling in the classroom, but we are particularly effective when the following problems are present:
• Aspergers
• Attention Deficit Disorder
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
• Dyslexia
• Developmental delay
• High functioning Autism—Student must be able to speak
• Depression
• Central Auditory Processing problems
• Sensory Integration Disorders
• Bi-Polar Disorder

I am a photographer/fine artist. I love trying new ideas using my photography, especially 'painting'. I am mostly self taught, but have attended many workshops and classes. I like trying a "let's see what happens if . . ." mode and have moved into a great deal of digital art. I also do a lot of photo restoration and hand tinting. I find one of the amazing things in life is that I can still see in my head images that I did as a child, teen and young adult that were 'successful' pieces. I think one of the reasons I became a photographer was this ability to 'see' art' in my head. I was born in Fargo,North Dakota, grew up in Ohio, lived 20 years in Wausau, Wisconsin and moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico in 1986. In 2011 we moved to...

When innocents are shot in a school or shopping mall, we feel great devastation, and rightly so. We search for the causes and cures for such senseless violence. Yet violence has many faces--and some of them are our own.
Image by Getty Images via @daylife
When peaceful protesters are shot by dictatorial regimes, we may deplore the violence. But do our governments speak out for us? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Consider Yemen and Bahrain. What have we done to help? Who sold the dictatorial regimes the weapons they turned against their people? Who supported their decades-long rule in the name of 'stability'?
Why, to this day, do we, do our governments, act as if people in Bahrain and Yemen do not have the same right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that we have?
When residents of the Fukushima district must leave their ancestral land, never to return, is not this violence? When did their right to live on their lands become less important than the military-industrial complex's lust for nuclear energy? When did "probable safety" become an adequate measure of environmental impact?
When 14,000 barrels of oil spill into the Ecuadoran Amazon, sickening the residents and destroying a pristine environment; when lives and livelihoods are lost in Louisiana due to the BP Deepwater oil spill, is this not violence? Who decided that the lives of Shiwaiar tribes or Louisiana fishermen were of less value than oil profits?
When children in Kenya go without food and drinking water because of drought, is this not violence? Eight million in Somalia face death by starvation, a direct result of our emissions of greenhouse gases. It is easy to weep for the funerals of thirteen children killed by a gunman in Rio. Our capacity to weep fails us when faced with the enormity of the African famine, the death of children whose names we do not know, whose funerals we will never see on television.
As Jesus makes clear in the gospel, in the end we shall be judged not just for what we did, but also for what we did not do. "I was hungry and you did not feed me, naked and you did not clothe me... sick or in prison and you did not visit me." In the violence of omission and apathy, our faces appear more often than we imagine.The hungry we did nothing to feed have in some sense died by our hand. The protesters and political prisoners we do not speak out for will speak out in our hearts during our final hours.
The problems are overwhelming but the solutions are close at hand. By giving alms to organizations such as Oxfam, who both feed the hungry and tackle the roots of poverty through environmental advocacy, we can feed the hungry and clothe the naked. By using our right of free speech, and by supporting human rights organizations, we can speak our for protesters and political prisoners in Yemen, Bahrain, Syria and around the world. Violence has many faces. Le them not be our own.

I am in Toronto March 12 and Ottawa March 13 for Freedom Wig consultations. Please get in touch if interested. www.imageevolutionhair.ca
Hi there,
I am in Toronto September 23-24 for Freedom Wig consultations. Please get in touch if interested. www.imageevolutionhair.ca
Happy Spring Everyone!
I am back in Toronto April 8-9 for Freedom Wig consultations and still have 2 openings. If you are interested please feel free to get in touch. www.imageevolutionhair.ca
Saw your request Kim, but did not make the link and messaged you to confirm you are in Canada. Ignore. I will approve you now. : ) Welcome!
Please Shelly if you found out about that group let me know because my whole family had this problem.
From what I am aware, we only have the few "AA" support groups across the country. But I know that there are people with other forms of alopecia who attend. I think it is really luck of the draw as to whether or not your particular group has a wide range of attendees in terms of forms of alopecia .. . You might have more luck online, as organizations like AlopeciaUK are more broad in their focus. And there is a very large group - over 8000 members - on Facebook that is called Alopecia Areata but has posts from people dealing with all forms. Happy to provide more resources if you would like. : )

Saints in 2nd at National Tournament After Day 1Posted by Roy under Athletics
The Seward County Saints finished day one of the NJCAA National Tennis Tournament in Plano, Texas in 2nd place, trailing the leader, Temple College, by just two points. Laercio Lobo started off the winning for Seward, taking care of Kyle Watson of Lewis & Clark 6-0, 6-2 and Carlos Souza beat Sam Murphy of Kaskaskia College 6-2, 6-1 to move onto the round of 16. Seward's #4 and #5 players Fernando Soni and Christian Romanzini won their singles matches 6-2, 6-2 and 6-0, 6-3 respectively over Lorenzo Pineda of New Mexico Military and Matt Lancaster of Pima CC. Nathan Nelmes lost a tough first round match with Romain Viellard of ABAC in a 0-6, 6-1, 7-5 decision while Eduardo Munoz lost 6-3, 6-2 to Justin Romero of New Mexico Military. In doubles play the Saints were perfect on day one as Lobo and Nelmes as well as Soni and Souza won in straight sets 6-0, 6-0 over Moraine Valley and Hinds CC and Munoz and Romanzini won 7-5, 6-1 over Gadsden State to move to the round of 16.

The Equality Act 2010 prohibits discrimination on grounds of sex, race, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, pregnancy/maternity, marriage and civil partnership, and age.
During the consultation period, there was a view put forward that this list of "protected characteristics" should also include discrimination on the grounds of caste; a ranking according to a perceived scale of ritual purity generally associated with countries in South Asia and particularly India. The Government rejected this suggestion on the basis that there was little evidence of such discrimination in the UK in the fields covered by the Equality Act – employment, vocational training, education and the provision of goods, facilities and services, and insofar as there was anecdotal evidence of caste discrimination in choices such as whom to marry, it was considered that this was not an appropriate matter for protection under discrimination law.
However, the Government then suddenly accepted an amendment by a Liberal Democrat peer to include a power to make caste discrimination an aspect of race discrimination. The Government made a commitment to keep the decision about whether to activate this power under review. It therefore commissioned the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) to produce a report on the extent to which caste discrimination was a real problem. That report, entitled 'Caste discrimination and harassment in Great Britain', was published in December 2010 and concluded that the Equality Act's current provisions dealing with race and religion or belief were not as effective in tackling such discrimination as specific caste-discrimination protections would be.
In the specific context of work, the authors of the Report found evidence of cases of bullying, menial task allocation, exclusion from work, social events and networks, and humiliating behaviour based on perceptions of relative superiority and inferiority taking place. Such behaviour was evidenced in a case where women from 'upper' castes refused to take water from the same tap as that used by 'lower' caste colleagues. Despite this, the Government did not at that stage decide to outlaw caste discrimination.
That did not, however, stop Mr and Mrs Begraj from commencing an employment tribunal claim based on caste discrimination against their former employers, Heer Manek Solicitors.
Mr Begraj was a practice manager at the firm; his wife was a solicitor. She belonged to a higher caste than him, the same caste as their employers. They alleged that they had suffered caste-based discrimination, humiliation, victimisation and harassment as a result of their relationship. The tribunal heard evidence for 36 days but unfortunately the case collapsed in February 2013 when the tribunal judge recused herself after the police provided her with information about the Respondent employers in the wake of allegations by the General Secretary of Castewatch UK that his windows were smashed just two days after giving evidence on behalf of Mr and Mrs Begraj. They are currently considering whether to appeal that decision, and it is unclear whether they will pursue a re-hearing of their case.
The case was being watched closely to see whether or not a claim for caste based discrimination could succeed under the current provisions of the Equality Act or not.
There is, however, growing support for the Government to outlaw caste discrimination specifically. Earlier this month, the House of Lords voted in favour of enacting the power set out in the Equality Act. However the Government has made clear that it will oppose such a view and has instead appointed 'Talk for a Change', a Community Interest Company run by former Department of Communities and Local Government national specialist advisers, to engage with affected communities and run an educational programme. The Government believes this is an "appropriate and targeted" way of dealing with examples of caste discrimination which are not already susceptible to criminal law or other remedies.
In addition, the Government has agreed to the Equality and Human Rights Commission examining the nature of caste prejudice and harassment as evidenced by existing studies, and the extent to which the problem is likely to be addressed by legislative or other solutions.
The Commission will publish its findings later in 2013. The Government will retain the power in the Equality Act "in case the position should change".
It is therefore still unclear whether the Equality Act presently prohibits discrimination on grounds of caste. It will also be interesting to see whether further research suggests this is a significant problem or not. For now, employers should be careful to ensure that its employees are not treated less favourably on grounds of caste.

CARL Froch is struggling to hold his emotions together ahead of Saturday night's British super fight with George Groves, according to Swindon trainer Paddy Fitzpatrick.
Groves visibly got under Froch's skin in the build-up to the pair's last bout but with the help of a sports pyschologist, the WBA and IBF super-middleweight world champion has cut a calmer exterior during his verbal sparring with his rival.
Fitzpatrick however is not buying into Froch's calmer persona and likened him to a little kid who is about to spit his dummy out.
"He (Carl Froch) is trying to deal with it as best he can and that is exactly what he is doing," said Fitzpatrick, who trains challenger Groves. "He is rehearsing things that his pyschologist is telling him to say.
"He doesn't talk about George in a negative way any more because if he does it would be like opening the floodgate to the things that he wants to say and get off his chest and then that turns into a rant. He approaches him by calling him George, or Mr Groves, or George Groves and these are all things that he has been told he has to do."
Fitzpatrick claims it is only a matter of time before Froch will "explode" emotionally with the fight just days away.
He added: "Same as anyone that ever fought Mike Tyson, it is all right when you have 12 weeks to go, eight weeks to go, and then four weeks to go when everyone is telling you "you can do this, you can do this".
"But then a week to go it gets a little bit more real and the last press conference and weigh-in day is pretty imminent and now it has come home and you have got to do this but you are doing it on your own with no-one else and it's a hard thing to cope with."
Having digested all the pre-fight verbal sparring, Fitzpatrick is convinced Froch is spending too much effort in holding his emotions together.
"He will come out try to be controlled then he will explode then he'll implode," added Fitzpatrick. "We tell the truth and then they react to it.
"I expect Carl Froch to be putting a lot of effort into holding it together. It's like a little kid who you wind him up, and wind up but it's that last little poke in the belly and they spit the dummy out and it all comes out and they start screaming and shouting.
"No disrespect to Carl, but it is going to be the same thing with a grown man. He is going to be holding it together until he starts getting tagged and then he is going to explode.
"I've never seen a bomb explode over 12 rounds but he'll explode and he'll be extremely dangerous and then he'll be put back in his box by George's technique and then he will implode because he is thinking too much. But he will be very dangerous, we are not taking him for granted in any way, shape or form."

SE Qld - need your help!
as many would know I've made a trip up to Surfers with the family for a holiday. All well so far until I ran into some trouble today...
It looks like my alternator or voltage regulator is on the way out. The battery is only 2 months old and I don't believe the symptoms relate to a faulty battery.
ABS / DSC lights flashing for no reason (stand still on Cavill Ave), headlights dimming and coming back, car almost stalling for no reason, radio and instrument cluster going all haywire..... and me freaking out.
I managed to keep it in neutral and revs up whilst waiting for traffic to move which seemed enough to keep the charge up. Made it back to the hotel at Broadbeach where the unruly beast is sitting in the garage.
I realise that this is the holiday period and I'm in deep need to get this sorted ASAP. Scheduled to drive back on Saturday and obviously holiday plans are on hold to get this fixed.
Can anyone recommend a BMW tech / workshop in the area? Anywhere I can get an alternator repaired or replaced?
Alternatively, if there is a place to get parts and someone's tools and garage I can borrow, I would be very appreciative.
Thanks guys

Kitchen appliances come in all shapes and sizes, from the boxy and square to the rounded and organic. Though they are all made to attract the eye of the consumer, sometimes form is dictated by function. When it comes to food steamers, there is a reason for their vertical orientation. However, just because heat rises…

As reported yesterday, players were incensed by the cliffhanger ending seen in Dark Matter. Instead of a satisfactory conclusion, the game simply offers players an abrupt "To be continued ..." despite a notable lack of current plans for a sequel. Complaints about the ending poured in so rapidly that both Steam and Good Old Games opted to give customers refunds for the game.
In a message posted to the Dark Matter community on Steam, CEO of publisher Iceberg Interactive Erik Schreuder blames the problematic ending on the failure of the Dark Matter Kickstarter effort. This is crucial, as Gamasutra claims that the fundraiser's collapse not only crippled the game, but also led to the dismissal of the majority of Interwave Studios' staff (including almost all of the developers who worked on Dark Matter).
Gamasutra's report claims that a new developer has been handed the task of building a better ending for Dark Matter, but that this unnamed studio includes none of the original development staff. It's currently unknown when (or if) this hypothetically improved finale will appear.

Seek to go public
Page Tools
Online employment website Seek; plans to raise up to $170 million in an initial public offering to fund new growth opportunities.
Seek's prospectus said it expected to offer between 75 and 85 million shares at an indicative price range of $1.80 to $2.20 per share.
The actual number of shares to be offered will depend on the number of shares certain existing shareholders ultimately sell through a share buyback that is being conducted concurrently with the IPO.
The offer price will be set through an institutional bookbuild process, resulting in an offer size of between $150 million and $170 million, giving Seek an expected market capitalisation of about $560 million.

Mark Allen from Machine Project says,
This Saturday from 8-10pm at Machine Project in Los Angeles we have a new performance by Brody Condon (the same artist who staged a medieval battle inside the gallery in 2004). This time 10 performers outfitted in medieval/space/fantasy armor re-create Bruce Nauman's 1973 work "Tony Sinking into the Floor, Face Up and Face Down". Performed in slow motion and combined with movements based on computer game death animations, this piece is accompanied by a high volume binaural beats reputed to induce out of body experiences.
Link to the event page with photos, video and more information. Other projects by Brody Condon include his series of "self-playing" modifications of Northern European Late Medieval religious paintings of 15th century using the Unreal game engine, which can be seen on his website.

Italian luxury fashion label Ermenegildo Zegna is getting into wool production for the first time, buying into Achill, a 175-year-old sheep farm in NSW's New England region.
Zegna will take a 60 per cent stake in the joint venture with owner, sixth-generation wool grower
"This joint venture will complete the entire circle of our operations. In our manufacturing to retailing, wool production is the only step we missed," Ermenegildo Zegna global chairman
"It's part of a dream. Understanding wool growing is so special. Now our customers will know more about wool, the product that goes into our clothes, and also the production process."
The Coventrys' Achill property will supply the wool to Zegna.
The Achill property has 2564 hectares of land and 12,500 sheep in production.
"We will not be supplying other brands, only Zegna," Mr Coventry said.
Zegna will be using Achill's super fine – 14 to 17 micron – wool in its top range product line as well as in knitwear and sportswear.
Mr Zegna said pieces which use the wool will be sold in any of its 80 markets around the world with some even coming back into Australia.
"We have launched this joint venture because we want to know what is behind the wool growing industry. Where the wool comes from, what the wool grower's life is, what they believe in," Mr Zegna said.
The Zegna group and Mr Coventry inked the joint-venture deal before the recent drought.
A long history of farming
The Coventry family has been sheep farming for 175 years in Australia.
Going against the trend of sheep farming closures, which is a result of a declining wool market, Mr Coventry opposed to an outright sale to the Zegna Group.
"I love my farm. It is in my family. It is in my blood," Mr Coventry said.
Mr Coventry said there will be no changes in the Achill operations.
He and Mr Zegna will set up a new company and wool buyer, Don Belgre, will join the company as the third member of the board.
Wool production has declined in the past 20 years, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
The decline is partly due to competition from synthetic fibres.
"This joint venture is a clever move and one step towards invigorating the marketing of wool," chairman of Australian Wool Innovation,
Mr Zegna said changing the perception of wool will take several years. "We are just at the beginning of the process. All of us have to convince the younger generation that wool is more precious, and deserves a different attention. That's why we have to go into novelty products, sports, top end of the range and knitwear," Mr Zegna said.
"In order to make people confident again, we have to lead the market with something special. We are making a statement in the wool industry."
The joint venture is the first known union between a label and an agribusiness in Australia.
Mr Zegna said Ermenegildo Zegna is not planning an expansion into wool production.
"You do one thing at a time. We need to concentrate on making this venture successful. How far will we go, we don't know," he said.

Through community events, partnerships and interpretive programs, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park expands the meaning of the park to new audiences, providing an opportunity for communities and park visitors to learn more about their heritage.
Three years ago, nine communities along the C&O Canal formed the Canal Towns Partnership, an economic development initiative with the goal of cooperatively marketing and making improvements, such as the addition of bike lanes and bike racks, to attract visitors into the canal's gateway communities. In 2012, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park, in partnership with the Canal Towns Partnership installed a series of waysides and hosted events to increase visitor knowledge of the unique towns located along the canal and their local and canal heritage. Additionally, the Canal Towns Partnership is working with the park to support park visitors, providing the resources needed as visitors travel the C&O Canal Towpath from town to town. The Canal Town Partnership has not only strengthened the relationships between the park and adjacent towns, but also improved the communications between the towns.
With nearly 200 miles of towpath, the C&O Canal is the backbone of dozens of communities along the Potomac River. Events to connect these communities with local heritage occur each year and include unique opportunities such as the Hancock Bluegrass Events - featuring local musicians playing bluegrass tunes along the canal and telling stories of the community and canal operations long ago.
Tradition is vital to communities and local heritage, and the C&O Canal has played a vital role in each community along the 184.5 mile canal for many years prior to becoming a park. Local communities have enjoyed canal tour boat excursions intermittently along the C&O Canal for nearly 70 years. Additionally, the park features Canal Family Reunions each summer in numerous towns along the towpath. These events feature guest speakers from the local community to share their stories and connection to the C&O Canal. From children's fishing rodeos are held annually in watered sections of the canal to the newly opened Visitor Center at Ferry Hill featuring living history programs, special events enable local communities to connect with their heritage along the C&O Canal.

It's basically the A-Rod deal:
Sammy Sosa, who joined with Mark McGwire in 1998 in a celebrated pursuit of baseball's single-season home run record, is among the players who tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug in 2003, according to lawyers with knowledge of the drug-testing results from that year . . .
. . . Sosa, who is sixth on Major League Baseball's career home run list and last played in 2007, had long been suspected of using performance-enhancing drugs but until now had never been publicly linked to a positive test.
This is not exactly shocking news. But unlike all that has come before on the subject of Sosa and PEDs, it is actually news, so the anti-Sammy Sosa dogpile finally has some sort of official imprimatur.

Internet Marketing
Building a Power List of Subscribers to Earn Money Online Over and Over Again
Marcus Boo
Building a power list of loyal subscribers that are willing to gobble up anything you throw at them is the key to maintaining and expanding an online business. This list will be the main focus of any online business to earn money online successfully. Every online business provides either a great product or service focused on solving a problem for the customer and generating satisfaction. This satisfaction that customers get from the product or service can make them become loyal repeat customers and let you earn money online over and over again. They may even be so satisfied with your product as to recommend you and your site to other people.
The first step of building a power list is to capitalize on your current traffic and entice them to subscribe to your mailing or opt-in list. This list of subscribers has agreed to receive promotional materials such as newsletters and catalogs to keep them informed of the latest updates to your business or niche. Such promotional materials are sent through emails to the subscribers at various time intervals or as an occasional broadcast message.
Email marketing is the perfect media of advertising for online businesses. With email marketing, there is no need for any high costs as sending an email is absolutely free. Building a power list of subscribers will make sure that whatever you send them is received and read and not easily deleted. Email marketing will allow you to earn money online successfully as you build a base of loyal subscribers.
Your emails should ideally consist of information about all your products, new products or services as well as any promotions and special deals that you are currently having. Tell them that these promotions are your way of saying how special your subscribers are to you and is your way of thanking them. Making them feel special will ultimately make you huge profits in the future. There may be a chance that they will even forward your promotions to other potential customers as they recommend you and your site to their families and friends letting you earn money online with ease.
Occasionally, subscribers will unsubscribe if they feel they are not getting what they want or expect. It is not possible for you to please everyone but it is possible for you to improve your email marketing strategies and keep your subscribers loyal and excited. The following are some tips to build your own power list of responsive subscribers that will let you earn money online many times over.
Do some due diligence and research on what your customers are looking for. You can do this simply by asking them what kind of information or service they desire in a broadcast email. This will also show that you truly care about your customers and help build a long-term relationship and undying loyalty. You can even go one step further and look for fresh and exciting things that you believe they will be interested in. Having new and fresh things to excite your customers will definitely keep them ogling for your next email.
Provide good and valuable information with great articles will also keep your subscribers happy. They are interested in this niche and will definitely value good information. If your subscribers enjoy your articles, they will go to your site by clicking the links you put in your newsletters to read some more. Make your articles diverse and interesting, such as writing humorous articles, to ensure that they are well received. With both information and humor in your articles, you can be sure your subscribers are going to stay happy and loyal.
If you are afraid that you will not be able to provide great articles because you don't writing, this is not a problem. There many professional and experienced article writers that can do the job for you for minimal fees. They know what they are doing and can provide the need that you have for your newsletters. The money that you pay for your articles are going to be met with good reviews, which can result in potential sales and profit for you. But of course, this is your own online business and nobody knows more about it better than you do. Ideally, you are the best person to write the articles that will allow you to earn money online successfully.
One great way to "one up" article writing is to create and send an ebook to your subscribers about your niche or business. Use your knowledge and expertise in the field you have chosen to help other people who are similarly interested and in turn they will help you to earn money online. You can write about anything informational and helpful to your subscribers. If you don't like writing, hire a professional to create one for you for a small fee. Offer this ebook for free on your site to entice more subscribers and also to your present subscribers. Share this ebook with everyone and even other sites. This ebook will improve your credibility and can potentially be passed around to more people than your current reach of customers. Your ebook with your website link in it is a very powerful tool to earn money online the fast and easy way.
One final tip is to add e-coupons in your newsletters that will give your subscribers special discounts. Make it such that the e-coupons can only be used once. Your subscribers will be exhilarated to find special discounts in your newsletters. This will in turn make them eager to receive your newsletters in anticipation of what you are promoting next.
Building a power list of subscribers and keeping them loyal, happy and responsive is by far the most profitable way to earn money online successfully. Your subscribers will benefit from your expertise and you will be able to profit from them as well. This is an incredible "win-win" situation that will develop into a mutually beneficial long term relationship that can only mean more business for you and aid you to earn money online over and over again.

By Christine Leja, CDP and John J. Zeman, your very grateful 2003 conference co-chairs
AITP President George Koscho and Conference Co-Chair Chris Leja hold up a proclamation from the City of St. Louis
The 2003 National Conference delivered a traditional conference with new offerings that received good reviews from the attendees and vendors. Attendees felt the conference tracks were the highest quality they had seen in some time. Congratulations to the outstanding speakers!
National Conference Firsts
ICCP certification training and testing was available for all attendees at no additional cost. Two attendees received their CCP. From the St. Louis chapter, Aaron Nance was one of the CCP recipients. Congratulations, Aaron!
Web-casting of all conference sessions, the AITP awards ceremony and the annual meeting of the members was donated by WebEx. Ten professional chapters across the U.S. participated, including: Big Country, Capitol, Central IL, Cornhusker, Mile High Denver, Milwaukee, Northeast WI, North Central Florida, Polk Country and Windy City. The SIU student chapter from St. Louis also participated.
CIO Security Forum brought together vice presidents of security from major companies and agencies representing different industries and included the FBI, MasterCard, Novell, Robert Half International and SBC to name a few. The speakers indicated that no one had brought them together before to share security issues. And the discussions were truly awesome!
Attendees, Partners, Sponsors and Vendors
AITP National Conference partnered with Data Connectors and was sponsored by Robert Half to bring 40 vendors and 500 local St. Louis attendees. The Webcast was provided by WebEx at no cost to AITP and was delivered to 10 chapters across the U.S. Out of state AITP member attendees numbered 100, including the executive committee, the association board of directors, region council presidents and Region 5 meetings. Southwestern Illinois College provided printed programs and space for the presentation slides.

He was first a neatherd in East Lothian, to a gentleman there.
Yes, wretched beasts that they are, how false a neatherd was theirs!
And about noontide he came to a certain cottage of a neatherd that stood all alone in a very pleasant dale.
There he saw where lay the neatherd, and had his head in one boose and his feet in the other; and he lay cast on his back.
And she had none to send in quest but Cuddie, the neatherd.'
Thereon the women shrieked aloud, and the neatherd,—he burst out laughing.
While men were marvelling the neatherd came in, and said he had been awake early in the byre, with a sick calf.
Acorns are the pride of the oak, apples of the apple tree, the calf of the heifer, and the neatherd glories in his kine.
And shortly after rising of the sun, he met a neatherd, driving of a car laden with bread and wine and other things.
This remark of the neatherd increased Orberosia's apprehensions and added to her solicitude for the husband whom she loved.

Hi Ben and Jamal, Are you guys sure that getdayoftime per packet is a big overhead on Gbps connection? Do you compare the performance with getdayoftime per packet and without? I guess RFC 1323 specifies that each packet should have a timestamp (although not from getdayoftime). Also, what's your testbed's configuration, Ben? (I guess if we can use faster hardware to overcome this effect...) Thank you:) ps: I am working on some high speed TCP experiment and may want to make getdayoftime every packet... -David Xiaoliang (David) Wei Graduate Student in CS@Caltech http://www.cs.caltech.edu/~weixl ==================================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Greear" <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "jamal" <hadi@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <netdev@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 25, 2002 9:34 PM Subject: Re: packet re-ordering on SMP machines. > > jamal wrote: > > > That doesnt sound impressive at all.

Su Casa: A Stylish Bedroom Update
Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member Zeke Cohen from the Su Casa group:
I covered the walls with Ralph Lauren metallic paint. I was able to update a traditional look by using mirrored dressers, lucite lamps, and an absence of color. The bedside lights are on dimmers. The switches are affixed to the back of the dressers, which are within arm's reach when you're in bed. The lumbar pillow is faux croc embossed leather.
Have you made any decorating updates lately? Be sure to post photos and details in the Su Casa group!

By Fredreka Schouten, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON The companies with multimillion-dollar contracts to supply American airports with body-scanning machines more than doubled their spending on lobbying in the past five years and hired several high-profile former government officials to advance their causes in Washington, government records show.
L-3 Communications, which has sold $39.7 million worth of the machines to the federal government, spent $4.3 million trying to influence Congress and federal agencies during the first nine months of this year, up from $2.1 million in 2005, lobbying data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics show. Its lobbyists include Linda Daschle, a former Federal Aviation Administration official.
Rapiscan Systems, meanwhile, has spent $271,500 on lobbying so far this year, compared with $80,000 five years earlier. It has faced criticism for hiring Michael Chertoff, the former Homeland Security secretary, last year. Chertoff has been a prominent proponent of using scanners to foil terrorism. The government has spent $41.2 million with Rapiscan.
"The revolving door provides corporations like these with a short cut to lawmakers" and other decision-makers, said Sheila Krumholz, of the Center for Responsive Politics.
The use of body-scanning machines has ignited controversy over privacy and health concerns.
In a statement, Transportation Security Administration officials said they conduct "comprehensive" research and testing before buying a product.
The lobbying by both firms covered a broad array of topics. This year, L-3 Communications reported lobbying on nearly two dozen bills, ranging from homeland security appropriations to military construction. Among the bills targeted by L-3 lobbyists: legislation proposed by Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, that would limit the use of the scanners at airports as a backup measure only.
Chaffetz's measure passed the House last year, but it stalled in the Senate after Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's alleged attempt in December 2009 to ignite an explosive powder on a flight to Detroit.
The attempted bombing contributed to the bill's demise, Chaffetz said, "But I also routinely heard that 'Secretary Chertoff believes this is the right thing to do. Who are you to challenge him?' "
Last week, Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, took to the House floor to criticize Chertoff's role in promoting the scanners.
Chertoff's firm provided advice to Rapiscan on "non-aviation security issues" and is no longer a consultant, said Peter Kant, a Rapiscan executive vice president.
Chertoff spokeswoman Katy Montgomery said Chertoff's firm "played no role in the sale of whole-body imaging technology" to the government, and he was not compensated for his public statements.
Daschle, the wife of former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle, lobbied against Chaffetz's bill. She said bombs represent a real threat. "I don't think it was Linda Daschle that made the difference" in L-3 Communications' success, she said. "I think it was people understanding what the threat is and seeing these capable solutions."

Mitt Romney's Tax Returns, and His Dignity
Abby Huntsman and Ryan Grim of the Huffington Post spoke with some unnamed former Bain Capital executives and were told that Mitt Romney has a strong, principled objection to releasing his tax returns:
Mitt Romney has been determined to resist releasing his tax returns at least since his bid for Massachusetts governor in 2002 and has been confident that he will never be forced to do so, several current and former Bain executives tell The Huffington Post. Had he thought otherwise, say the sources based on their longtime understanding of Romney, he never would have gone forward with his run for president. ... Underlying the resistance, sources close to him say, is Romney's belief that voters simply don't have a right to see what should be private financial information.
This doesn't sound like the Mitt Romney we know. The Mitt Romney who changes his principled policy stands to match the preferences of whatever electorate he currently faces. The Mitt Romney who has run screaming from his key policy achievement as governor of Massachusetts, health-care reform. The Mitt Romney who went to the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas to receive Donald Trump's endorsement on live television. Romney will do those things in pursuit of the presidency, but releasing his tax returns would be beneath his dignity?
If we know anything about Mitt Romney, it's this: He would wear a suit made of his tax returns and do a striptease, tossing the pages into a crowd of eager reporters, if he thought that would get him elected president. If he's not releasing his tax returns, it's because he thinks doing so would not serve his presidential ambitions; it's certainly not because he's placing a belief in privacy above them.

Current Design Concept
We would like to think that the many documents and actions that you can follow on this site illustrate that engaging with one's own community is an opportunity to bring together diverse interests for the betterment of that community. The church's mission has always been that of serving Washington, DC, and our sincere intent in this redevelopment effort has been to contribute to the City's effort in preserving its special nature while developing for the future. We join our developers' statement in a recent hearing that we are both humbled and honored by the opportunity to contribute to such a significant corner of the City.
We are still in the early stages, and undoubtedly refinement of the design will take place. In following us through our journey thus far, continue with us as we go forward in what we hope fulfills the wish of the architect of our current church when he said, "My work should not be fossilized, but when you replace it, make sure the replacement is an even greater gift." To that end, we believe that the developers that we are partnering with, ICG Properties and The JBG Companies, have taken the time, invested the funds and assembled the best team possible to develop that greater gift.

Sonakshi Sinha is the latest Bollywood celeb to become a punching bag on the micro-blogging site Twitter. Sonakshi's forehead trended for over 24 hours on the social networking site on Wednesday, with people making fun of her "broad forehead".
However, Sonakshi Sinha says that she is not offended with the funny remarks, in fact she is amused.
In an interview to a leading daily, Sonakshi said, "I was laughing. We had gone for the match to Wankhede stadium on Wednesday. On our way back my friends and I were reading those tweets and laughing our guts out. They are funny, intelligent tweets. I don't know why some people are saying they are not in good taste. It's fine, it's humour. If taken in the right spirit, they are quite funny. Luckily for them, I have a good sense of humour."
No doubt, the actor has a great sense of humour. Soon after the jokes started, Sonakshi tweeted, "Sonakshi Sinha's forehead is mighty pleased ;) gnite funny people! (sic)".
Here are some funny tweets on Sonakshi Sinha's forehead:
Biswajeet Rana
Sonakshi Sinha's forehead - Helipad.

Icy conditions still a change for drivers
Areas near the Columbia River Gorge will be the last to thaw and icy road conditions may have contributed to a semi that crashed Monday morning on I-84 westbound at Troudale.
The freeway was completely blocked and there was a fuel spill.
Traffic was diverted to the Troudale off ramp and to Marine Drive before rejoining the freeway. It caused extensive delays during the morning commute.

Greg Van Avermaet has said that winning the Tirreno-Adriatico is good to have on his palmares.
The Belgian took the overall victory by a single second from Peter Sagan following the individual time trial and became the first rider from his country to win the race since 1977.
Speaking to the BMC press office, Van Avermaet, who is now one of the favourites for Saturday's Milan-San Remo, said: "It's amazing to win this race and it's really nice to have this on my palmares.
"I'm feeling really confident going into Milan-San Remo this Saturday."The Classics are still my main goal but I'm going in with a few nice victories in my pocket. It's nice to now go to the first big Classic a bit more relaxed."

The Orlando Magic and Dallas Mavericks dropped close games on Friday, with the Magic losing 106-100 to the Charlotte Bobcats and the Mavericks falling 117-114 to the Oklahoma City Thunder in overtime. As a result, both teams will look to get back in the win column when Dallas visits the Magic on Sunday at the Amway Center.
O.J. Mayo is leading Dallas (17-24) at 18.2 points per game, while Dirk Nowitzki is averaging 14.0 PPG to go with 5.5 rebounds per game. Darren Collison is tallying 13.0 PPG and 5.1 assists per game, Chris Kaman is scoring 12.6 PPG and pulling down 6.3 RPG, Vince Carter is notching 12.3 PPG and Shawn Marion is recording 10.4 PPG and 8.1 RPG.
The Magic (14-25) are getting 17.5 PPG from Arron Afflalo, 15.3 PPG and 7.6 RPG from Glen Davis and 15.2 PPG and 7.2 APG from Jameer Nelson. J.J. Redick is averaging 14.6 PPG and Nikola Vucevic is totaling 11.6 PPG and 11.1 APG.
"Because of the position we're in right now, we can't allow these kind of games where we can come out with a big win like two days ago and then tonight we play with no energy," Vucevic said following Friday's defeat. "So we can't have that, we have to play hard every night."
Sunday's contest is slated to tip-off at 6:00 pm on FS Florida.

Sometimes I surprise even myself, you know, I really do.
So, yesterday, while I was cleaning the kitchen? I picked up the new aerosol room spray thingy that Terry bought because Rubin just WILL NOT STOP PEEING on the washing machine. "I know!" I thought. "I will give the room a quick squirt with this here spray. It will make the house smell lovely and homely."
So I point the can at the washing machine, take aim, and… fire it RIGHT INTO MY OWN FOOL FACE. Because the nozzle? Is supposed to point at the thing you're spraying. Not at your own face.
Of course, I don't need to tell you guys this. I expect you learned how to use air freshener when you were still in short pants. Me, on the other hand? Still learning. I do smell "pine forest fresh" now, though…

Mel Gibson's Screaming Rant At Ex #4: Profanity By The Numbers
Memo to future girlfriends of Mel Gibson: he wants a blowjob before the Jacuzzi, got it?
Another day, another snippet of an alleged abusive screaming phone call from Mel to his ex/baby mama, Oksana Grigorieva. Having listened to all of Mel's psychotic screaming and creepy panting, I can say this one is the scariest.
After the jump, Mel's profanity and blowjob requirements, tallied up. Number of time Mel says "f**k" or "f**king," including "I deserve to be blown first, before the f**king Jacuzzi!": approximately 16
Number of time Mel calls Oksana a bitch: 2
Number of time Mel says "I should have f**king woken you up and said 'blow me!'": 2
Number of time Mel tells Oksana "you're a pain in my ass!" 3
Number of time Mel says "I've done nothing but be nice to you!": 3
Number of time Mel says "You know how to f**king push my buttons! I can't get like this anymore and you know you're doing it!": 1
Number of time Mel says he wants his and Oksana's daughter to stay with him: 2
In case you want to catch up on Mel's previous screaming, abusive rants, we've got them all here:
Mel's Screaming Rant At Ex #3
Mel Gibson's Screaming Rant At Ex #2
The Latest In Mel Gibson Grossness
Sure, the racist and misogynist crap he said — "if you get raped by a pack of n***ers it'll be your own fault," "wetbacks" — was disgusting. But judging by what they're fighting about in snippet #4, Mel thought Oksana would be a prostitute/maid, not a girlfriend. He deserves a blowjob from Oksana before she falls asleep just because: "I deserve to be blown first, before the f**king Jacuzzi! I'll burn the goddamn house down, but blow me first!" He'd rather have a maid than Oksana because "they make the goddamn bed when you did not!" And Mel blames Oksana when he "get(s) like this" and says "you know you're doing it!" Ugh, blaming someone else for your own behavior is classic domestic abuser behavior.

Find the coordinates of midpoint S of segment PQ and the midpoint T of segment PR. Then find the slope of segment QR and ST. Thank you for your help.
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
To find the midpoint of PQ and PR, we need to find the average of the endpoints of each line segment.
Since `P=(0,0)` and `Q=(2a,2b)` , then the midpoint is
Similarly, the mipoint of P and R is
Now we find the slope of the two lines using the slope formula
So the slope of QR is
`m_{QR}={0-2b}/{2c-2a}` factor 2 from numerator and denominator
The slope of ST is
so both slopes are the same and the lines are parallel.
The slope of QR and ST is `m=-b/{c-a}` .

Ok, No, my water hasn't broken.
For down the road, though.... I know hospitals have the rule of when your water breaks you go straight to the hospital right away, and baby needs to be out in 24 hours due to risk of infection.
I'm wodnering how legit this concern is. I want to have my birth be as natural as possible, but I also want to keep myself and baby healthy. I'm trying to do research on this subject, but wanted to hear from you ladies as well.
Any research you've heard of or done would be so appreciated.
