Yep, another airbag light thread
I finally got my BMW scanner and hooked it up last night to see why my airbag light is on. I got two errors using PA Soft, 50 Power Supply Undervoltage, and F0 Internal Control Unit Fault. These codes won't clear. I also got a power supply code for the radio antenna, which came back after clearing it.
After some researching it seems that the SRS module might need to be replaced and/or my charging/battery system is dying. My alternator has never been replaced and my battery is getting pretty old, so no matter what I have to check these. I'm not sure what this power supply error for my radio antenna means, but it makes me suspect as well. The only other culprit I came across could be the battery safety terminal, although the airbag light only recently came on and my car has not been hit recently, nor hit hard enough for any airbags to deploy since I've owned it. Aside from testing the charging system and battery does anyone have any ideas on how to diagnose this without throwing a few hundred dollars in parts at it? I haven't seen this combo of errors yet.

Audio Ukraine split over EU rejectionPhilip Williams
TONY EASTLEY: Still overseas - it has the look and feel of the bad old days of the Cold War.
In the Ukraine there was more violence between police protecting the pro-Russian government of president Viktor Yanukovych and a hundred thousand protestors angry at his decision to walk away from a deal that would have brought the country much closer to the European Union.
But while that was the spark for more than a week of street protest, the split is now much deeper, as correspondent Philip Williams reports.
(Sound of protesters)
PHILIP WILLIAMS: Just outside the president's headquarters in the capital, Kiev, hundreds of police in riot gear battled furious protestors.
(Sound of protesters)
Demonstrators used flares against police lines; they replied with tear gas and stun grenades
One hundred thousand people took to the streets in part to protest against president Yanukovych's last minute u-turn away from the deal that would have opened up trade and travel with the European Union.
The president made it clear he had come under pressure from Russian president Putin not to sign.
(Sound of protesters)
But what infuriated many was the heavy-handed response to one of the demonstrations in the capital early Saturday morning. "What sort of authorities are they to beat children," this man said. "We can't step aside, we can't stay at home. The feelings of hatred overwhelm me."
During the huge marches, a small group of masked men attacked buildings, smashing windows. The protesters quickly surrounded them accusing them of being agent provocateurs aiming to discredit the opposition. They were then chased away.
Despite the Orange Revolution in 2004, what seemed like an inevitable push towards the West has been reversed by the president - a man who says he cannot risk the relationship with Moscow by dealing with the European Union.
(Sound of protesters)
Now daily protests call for his resignation, an end to his government, it has become a political fight to the death.
Leader of the opposition Fatherland Party, Yarseniy Yatsenuyk
YARSENIY YATSENUYK: I know this government and this president, they will do everything in order to preserve and contain the problem. He has Plan B, and this Plan B is not actual written by the president Yatsenuyk. The author of this plan is president Putin - and in order to reinstate Soviet empire, they will do everything.
(Sound of protesters)
PHILIP WILLIAMS: It's nearly ten years since the people power Orange Revolution. Without a circuit breaker and none is obvious right now, more upheaval appears inevitable.
This is Philip Williams reporting for AM.

Title: Equivalence of Real Elliptic Curves - Part I - Linear Equivalence
Abstract: This is the first of several talks on elliptic curves given by Allen Broughton and Ken McMurdy. In the two talks by Allen Broughton a complete answer will be given to a question posed by Ken McMurdy during his job talk last spring. What is the moduli space of real elliptic curves like? Since then a complete answer has been worked out and it is surprisingly simple.
In the first talk a basic introduction to real elliptic curves will be given -- starting from definitions, smoothness, projective completion, the geometry of the group law, the geometry of tangents and inflection points and ending up with the notions of embedded linear equivalence, normal Weierstrass form, and linear classification. The main result is that there are two families of curves each depending on a single real parameter. Each curve in one family has one component and each curve in the other family has two components*. The talk does not use calculations more complex than high school algebra and the geometric concepts that we cover in our multi-variable calculus course (except a smidgen of topology at one point). There will be lots of pictures.
*Well that statement is almost true . The explanation of almost true will be given in the second talk, which will cover the complexifications of real elliptic curves, real forms of complex elliptic curves, the moduli space complex elliptic curves, and the automorphism groups of curves.
Title: Equivalence of Real Elliptic Curves - Part II - Birational Equivalence
Abstract: This second talk on real elliptic curves will complete the picture of birational equivalence of real elliptic curves by looking at the complex elliptic curve defined by the original curve. The complex curve is called a complexification of the real curve and the real curve is called a real form of the complex curve. The complex curve is a torus and it interesting to visualize the real forms as curves on the torus. We will spend most of the talk exploring the very interesting relationship among the real forms, mirror reflections on the torus, and the automorphisms of the complex curve.
Non-isomorphic real curves can have can have isomorphic complexifications. The main result we will show is that each complex elliptic curve defined by real equations has exactly two real forms which are birationally inequivalent. The most interesting part is that there is exactly one complex elliptic curve that has a real form with one component and another real form with two components.
We will not use any calculations more complex than high school algebra and
nor any geometric concepts beyond what we cover in our multi-variable calculus
course. The calculations are made quite easy by using the Weierstrass form
discussed in the first talk. The first part of the talk will be a recap of
the first talk in the context of complex elliptic curves. There will be lots
of pictures.

For most people with a financial interest in Twitter, these are going to be some happy holidays indeed. The company's confirmed a new round of funding, and reports indicate that it raised $200 million at a valuation of a stunning $3.7 billion.
Dick Costolo confirmed on the Twitter Blog that Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers was, as had been rumored, the leading force behind this round. Then other "existing investors" participated, too, according to Twitter's new CEO.
Unfortunately, the info regarding dollar amounts is a little less solid - Twitter hasn't confirmed anything yet - but Kara Swisher, who's almost always correct about these matters, was the first to mention both $200 million and $3.7 billion.
Those figures represent quite an accomplishment on the company's part. It's not too easy to find $200 million lying around, after all, and in September of last year, investors pegged Twitter's value at $1 billion. So the site's increased its perceived worth by 270 percent in 14 months.
Now let's move on to one other subject before wrapping things up. Costolo wrote, "[W]e've added two new members to Twitter's board of directors. Please join us in welcoming Mike McCue and David Rosenblatt. The experience these new directors bring to Twitter, along with this renewed investment, will help us continue to grow as a company and business."
McCue's served as the CEO of Flipboard, the CEO of Tellme, and a VP of technology at Netscape over the years. Rosenblatt's been the chairman at Group Commerce, president of display advertising at Google, and CEO of DoubleClick.

A tablecloth adds a touch of class to a meal and doubles as a giant napkin in case you spill a cauldron of soup on your shirt. Soak in a fine dining experience with this Groupon.
$50 for a Seven-Course European Tasting Menu for Two ($100 Value)
While the menu is subject to change from week to week based on available ingredients, a sample menu includes freshly prepared tastes of stuffed mushrooms with prosciutto and aged cheddar; beet salad with crème fraiche, tarragon, and jicama; carrot scampi with clams and shrimp; and a cheese plate, all paired with wine.
Chef Eric Osburn aims to cultivate Centurion as a place for what he calls "unpretentious fine dining." "[Almost] every dish on the menu has come from me making myself something for lunch," Osbun told ABC15's Sonoran Living. Centurion's casual dining space features dark wood and crimson accents, and there's an open kitchen from which the chef can lead games of I Spy while he cooks.
The menu incorporates ingredients and techniques culled from different European countries. It varies depending on what's available fresh from local farmers' markets or from Chef Eric's own herb garden.

Lauren Fix
Car Coach builds career around love of automobiles
Story by Pat Pollock
Winning race car driver; team manager of a Trans-Am series racing team; business entrepreneur; director of a performance racing driving school; host of her own DIY network TV show; guest expert and authority on automotive topics; journalist; author; mother of two children soon to be drivingthats Lauren Fix. Add her recent gig on Oprah Winfreys 2005 Live Your Best Life Tour and youll discover an amazing woman.
Fix loves her work, sharing her knowledge of car care, driving skills, vehicle selection and maintenance and safety issues on a moments notice. Known as the Car Coach, she is articulate, adept and comfortable on camera in front of millions of viewers, as she gets her messages across using non-technical language.
She learned about cars as a 10-year-old from her father, George Jonas, an automotive engineer. She discovered autocross racing in high school and set up a driving course in the parking lot for her senior speech project on how to race a car.
As an undergraduate in the UB School of Management, Fix took night classes, summer sessions and day classes to accelerate her progress toward graduation. After college, her first job was an entrepreneurial success: Driving Ambitions Driving School at Watkins Glen, New York.
Lauren Fixs first appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996 was a professional breakthrough; she has returned as a contributor many times since. This spring, Fix participated in the Live Your Best Life Tour, presented in Denver, Washington, DC, and Dallas. The Tours goal was to give women the tools and motivation to meet the challenges of everyday living, with speakers such as an exercise expert, a motivational expert and Fix.
Every day we drive some type of transportation, some kind of vehicle, she began, when it was her turn on the tour. Women make 85 percent of the buying decisions; 85 percent of the maintenance decisions. We are so powerful that we have 95 percent veto power when it comes to a car. We own 60 percent of the cars out there .
When Winfrey took the stage, she spoke of defining ones purpose, finding ones destiny. Fix appreciates those elements: For me, its helping people to feel more empowered, less intimidated about cars. I like to pass on my knowledge and enthusiasm.
Lauren Fix is still in high gearher future includes a new TV show and two more books; someday, shed like to market her own line of products.

Eric Liu Author and former Clinton White House adviser , WA:
McCain's assessment has the virtue of being true but the vice of being too late. Worse, it underscores how little meaningful change he is capable of delivering. For his admission that Bush's presidency has been a train wreck comes unaccompanied by any sign that Bush's party -- that is, McCain's party -- would in fact govern any differently if returned to power.

Bundles gives Envato good extra earnings and traffic. Final dot.
Further discussions is just wasted energy.
A "Print Designer" bundle with 3 ThemeForest items also a wasted energy for authors (indirectly) – if we do not pin point these things to Envato and if the next immediate bundle includes another 3 ThemeForest items that doesn't related to Holiday – the time and energy needed on these complaints becomes unavoidable, regardless of if staff can understand these or not.
Also we are not requesting Envato to stop taking profit. If they make profit without affecting regular sales numbers and value of our work, no one going to complain. Just a matter of strategy preference/choice.
Agreed! Until one day competition arrives and it always does.
pezflash said
VF saidRamesh, we both have been here for long, if i resume all the "pin points to Envato" authors have done over the time, i can fill up an entire book with them. Don't waste your precious energy.
(...) – if we do not pin point these things to Envato and if the next …
True, I have a schedule to stop spending time here. Man, thanks for reminding though.
thomas07 said
crozer saidyeah i got it…trust me envato shared enough information with us in the past about bundle releases and why and so on, this time wont be different…got it?
Stay on point, will you? This is about the community asking Envato to share more information with us authors, and a critique towards the methodology of running a bundle all too often. Got it? Now stop saying somebody is criticizing bundles themselves, because no one is.
I wasn't talking to you.
Carmen said
In no way are we planning to have a weekly or daily Bundle (I would probably die of stress if we did). We are still refining and learning about the Bundle process as we go and will definitely be taking on board your suggestions about including different authors. As always, thanks for having your say.
Carmen, with the first Bundle release few years ago i can exactly remember one of the staff members commented "In no way are we planning to have other than the Birthday Bundle"...but see where we are now. I hate to say it but (yeah again), i strongly believe the days of weekly bundle releases at envato are not that far.

As much as I love Apple's Time Machine, it's a hard drive pig. If not carefully watched, the little porker will use every spare byte of free space it can. What is particularly obnoxious, however, is that you might not realize you have a problem until it is too late and you're backup drive is filled to capacity.
Take my situation as an example. I have a single MacBook Pro notebook with a 250 GB hard drive. Most of my files are text based and on the smallish side. In comparison, my networked backup is a hefty 1.5 terabytes. The combination of small hard drive and large backup drive had me thoroughly convinced that I wouldn't have to worry about free up space for years.
I was wrong.
Because of the size of the backup drive, I like to keep other files on it – mostly music and video files – so that I have a duplicate copy. But earlier this week, I got a nasty surprise while trying to add an album I had just downloaded from Amazon Mp3. The Mac informed me the backup drive was full.
As you might guess, I found this to be very confusing. How could the drive be full? Sure … I had three or four hundred gigabytes of music and video files on it, but there was no way that the Time Machine backup could be over a terabyte in size … Could it?
This situation didn't smell right, so I decided to investigate. I mounted the backup drive and tracked down the Time Machine sparsebundle and confirmed the impossible. My Time Machine Backup was a whopping 1.15 terabytes worth of disk space. "How in the world could the backup be so large?", I asked myself. "Time Machine is supposed to be an incremental system. 1.15 terabytes is big enough to hold every bit and byte on my computer four and a half times over!"
First, I got annoyed; then, I got angry. What really tipped the scale toward seething fury, however, was failing to find any straightforward way of getting the space back. Yet another spectacular example of Apple's "simple over useful" approach to computer design!
After the first bout of obscenities, I came to a simple conclusion: I could publicly express my dissatisfaction with Apple's product line or I could go about trying to find a solution. Publicly spouting off was unlikely to help much, so I opted for the latter option. What follows is a brief summary of what I learned.

[Toronto, ON] -- Ding, ding ding! Round
3 is about to begin, ladies and gentlemen.
After failing to acquire the Pittsburgh
Penguins and Nashville Predators, Blackberry billionaire Jim Balsillie
has his sights set on purchasing the Phoenix Coyotes and moving them
to Southern Ontario.
First, I must certainly give Balsillie
credit. He won't back down; he wants to bring another team to Ontario.
And frankly, another team in this market would be a smart move.
That being said, the NHL and the city of
Glendale aren't about to roll over and allow things to go ahead as
Balsillie would like. Both parties have a huge issue with the fact
that Coyotes CEO Jerry Moyes filed the team for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
According to the Arizona Republic, Moyes
did this because it was the only way to void the team's 30-year lease
with Glendale.
"He didn't have a lot of choices," Earl
Scudder, Moyes' financial and legal adviser, told the paper. "He had
gone through extensive marketing efforts and was unable to get offers
for the team that would take care of the creditors."
Glendale coughed up $180 million for the
$220 million Jobing.com arena that opened in 2003. City officials have
confirmed that bankruptcy does allow Moyes to void any penalties.
All parties will be in bankruptcy court
tomorrow, and the NHL will argue that only they can determine what's
best for their own operations. However, a bankruptcy judge might be
forced to overrule the league if the decision is in the best interest
of the creditors and offers the best financial relief. Ironically, the
league is the second largest secured creditor (which means if money is
available, they must be paid first), owed approximately $35 million.
The highest secured creditor is SOF Investments, which is associated
with MSD Capital. They are owed $80 million.
Balsillie's attorneys will be asking the
court to start an auction for the franchise, which would begin in June
and end before June 26, the first day of the NHL Entry Draft in
Montreal. In order for another bid to exceed Balsillie's $212.5
million offer, they must surpass it by at least $5 million.
The money would be used to pay back the
two secured creditors and an additional 40 unsecured creditors. Moyes
has the largest claim ($103.8 million).
None of the parties involved have
offered to comment much on the situation, outside of their formal
press releases.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman did,
however, indicate he's uncertain if the League's Board of Governors
would approve the sale or a move when speaking to reporters earlier
"I don't know whether or not he could
get approved," he said. "That's, as I said, something I don't get a
vote on."
As for Balsillie, what I find most
interesting about his bid is the following comment he made: "I am
excited to move closer to bringing an NHL franchise to what I believe
is one of the best un-served hockey markets in the world."
Un-served hockey markets? Okay, so that
would lead me to believe that he doesn't plan on moving the Coyotes to
Toronto. (Good, I've never been a fan of a second team in this city)
So, where does that leave us? Hamilton
again? They are home to the AHL's Bulldogs. What about his hometown,
Kitchener? Well, they have the OHL's Rangers. Perhaps he meant north
of the Greater Toronto Area?
Okay, I might be reading a little too
much into that comment... but if you want my take (and this is purely
my own speculation should this move actually happen): Balsillie will
house the team in Hamilton's Copps Coliseum, and pay the territorial
rights fee to the Maple Leafs and Buffalo Sabres, until he builds a
new state-of-the-art facility (Blackberry Forum) in Kitchener, which
is out of the Leafs, Sabres and Detroit Red Wings' territorial zones.
But before we all set ahead of
ourselves, the parties must meet tomorrow in bankruptcy court. And
after that, we'll all have a much clearer picture as to the fate of
the Phoenix Coyotes.

Prescot Cables earned a point in a hard fought encounter with Warrington Town at Hope Street. It was the least Cables deserved and with better finishing they could have taken all three points.
Cables manager Dave Powell made three changes from the side which beat Garforth two weeks ago. Benn, Edwards and Pianna replacing Dempsey, McCulloch and Gratton.
Warrington managed by ex Cables manager Shaun Reid kicked off playing towards the Hope Street end. Andy Fowler was soon on the attack down the right, his cross being cleared by Hollett. Cables were soon to reply, Edwards shot being blocked by the Warrington defence and Lambert scooped the rebound over the bar. Benn then played the ball inside the box to Dawson whose shot was deflected for a corner. From the corner taken by Dawson, Hollett headed over. It had been a good spell of pressure from Cables and they could quite easily have been in front at this stage of the game.
Warrington eventually managed to get out of their own half and were awarded a free kick 30 yards out. From the free kick Ruane flicked the ball on for Kilheeney who fired over from close range. After 15 minutes Ruane intercepted a pass from Shinks but his cross was cleared for a corner by the Cables defence. Cables then had an opportunity to open the scoring on 24 minutes when Dawson dispossessed a Warrington defender but shot straight at goal keeper Robertson who saved comfortably. Kilheeney then put Ruane through for Warrington who shot wide of the far post as the game ebbed and flowed from end to end.
After Dawson was fouled by Warrington skipper Dogan, there was a set to involving several players from both sides, Dogan was cautioned and Cables were awarded a free kick. On 37 minutes Town won a corner when Kilheeney's shot was blocked. From the corner Mannix's shot was saved by Reid. After 40 minutes Town almost snatched the lead when Fowler was clean through on goal, his well placed shot rebounding to safety off the far post. From a corner just before the break Cables could have taken the lead when after the ball bobbled across the goal mouth Pianna just failed to prod it home, Murphy eventually shooting wide.
The second half began with Cables Jack Webb receiving a caution for a late challenge. Cables took the lead on 50 minutes when Edwards played a long ball into the path of Dawson who held off the challenge of a Town defender to score with a well placed shot inside the far post. Cables then had an opportunity to increase their lead when Webb was fouled outside the box. Dawson hit the free kick over the Town defensive wall but wide of the post. Brown then had an opportunity for Town his shot from outside of the penalty area being comfortably saved by Reid. Brown then crossed for Kilheeny whose powerful header was saved on the goal line by Reid. Cables substituted Bathusrt for Pianna as they sought to clinch the game. Cables were awarded a free kick when Lambert was fouled. The free kick taken by Webb was high over the bar and wouldn't have looked out of pace at Langtree Park. Cables won another free kick for hand ball outside the box. The free kick taken by Edwards flashed past the far post. Against the run of play Town snatched an equaliser on 75 minutes when Davies and Newby linked up well down the right. Reid failed to hold onto Newby's cross and Miles slotted home from close range.
Cables pressed forward in search of the winner and Lambert had a shot blocked. A long ball over the top of the Warrington defence put Bathurst clear his shot was pushed away by Robertson for a corner.
Both sides pushed forward in search of the winner in the closing stages. A free kick on the edge of the box taken by Miles was headed away by the Cables defence for a corner. Reid then produced a fine save from close range to deny Newby. Kilheeney then had a shot blocked and Reid punched a cross clear as Town threatened. Cables were awarded a free kick in injury time, Rimmer heading on for Webb who shot wide.
Prescot Cables: Reid, Shinks, Benn, Murphy, Hollett, Webb, Evans, Lambert, Dawson, Pianna, Edwards. Substitutes: Kelly, Rimmer, Bathurst, Jeffries, Doig.

|Recipe by Lori Ross
Leaving the fresh okra whole, trim top stem from okra. Place one layer of okra in microwave safe dish with 2 tablespoons water. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 2-3 minutes on high.* Drain and place in bowl. Serve with lemon and soy sauce for dipping. Eat!
if your okra is large, you may have to cook longer...try one minute increments. I have never tried this with frozen okra but I am sure it would work well to microwave once defrosted.

|Risi E Bisi (Rice and Peas) - Italian

|By Lori Ross
I love risotto and often make it with brown rice in the microwave when on the boat. Microwave risotto turns out a bit less creamy than stove-top but it is wonderfully cooked with only one stir during the cooking process. This is appealing on the boat as it dirties fewer dishes and allows me to wander away from the galley to be with my guests. Serves 4 to 6.
2 tsp oil
1 medium onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 ¼ cup brown rice
2 cups chicken broth
½ cup white wine
1 bay leaf
1 cup green peas (fresh are best, but frozen are good too)

|by Lori Ross - of Middle East and India
Mujaddara is the Arabic word for smallpox; the lentils among the rice resemble pockmarks. The first recorded recipe for Mujaddara appears in a cookbook compiled in 1226. Mujaddara is a popular dish throughout the Arab world, and is generally made using green lentils and rice, that can be seasoned with cumin, coriander, or mint. It is topped with fried onions and is generally served with yogurt, among other vegetables and side dishes, either hot or cold.

Pour lemon juice mixture into a medium baking dish and transfer to the freezer. Using the tines of a fork, stir mixture every 30 minutes, scraping edges and breaking up any chunks as the mixture freezes, until granita is slushy and frozen, about 4 hours.

This is a very healthy and flexible little tart that uses ground dried fruit and nuts for the crust (no butter) and just enough sugar to sweeten the fresh fruit. It is absolutely delicious! My most luscious tart included dried apricots and walnuts with a filling two fruits…one layer of applesauce and a layer of blueberries cooked with port! I suspect making this with a layer of fig jam, apples and topping it with blue cheese would create a rococo masterpiece! This tart may also be made with graham cracker crust (see Key Lime Pie) or half crushed nuts and half graham cracker...... Read More

Because these premier four weren't taken until the mid-40 rounds on Wednesday. Shortstop/second baseman Taylor Stark was the 42nd-round pick of Washington; shortstop DeMarcus Henderson the 43rd-round choice of Houston; pitcher/infielder Daryl Norris was taken in the 46th round by Texas; and outfielder C.T. Bradford was taken in the 48th round by Cleveland. Also, infielder/pitcher Wes Rea was undrafted. Based on both prep careers and pre-draft evaluations all would have merited much higher drafting(s) had not their 'signability' been a real question for big league clubs.
Cohen will caution that there is still a long summer stretch until fall semester classes begin at Mississippi State. This will allow drafting clubs to monitor their late-round selections over the course of off-season play; as well as see which of their other draftees sign or not, what positions their farm system is showing up short in, and what un-spent bonus money might be available to sweeten offers. So these deals are not absolutely done in the Dogs' favor…but based on history the odds are encouraging for all four.
The Mississippi State skipper wishes he was equally optimistic about the one recruit who was drafted on day-two. Outfielder Corey Dickerson was picked early in day-two, going in the eighth round to Colorado. This potent hitter from Meridian Community College could do big things for the Bulldog batting order…if he were to show up.
"I'm just concerned about Dickerson," Cohen said today. "That will be a tough one."
State did not have any underclassmen drafted this week, though realistically the only one of concern was centerfielder Jaron Shepherd. A two-time pick already, out of high school and junior college, Shepherd will have to wait his turn in '11 or perhaps pursue a free-agent offer over this summer. That latter track is one more and more clubs are willing to take with players who offer at least one sure skill, and Shepherd's ability in the field certainly earned notice in his junior year at State.
One more graduating senior was drafted, as lefthanded pitcher Tyler Whitney was picked in the 34th round by Seattle. He joined day-two Dog draftees first baseman Connor Powers (21st round San Diego) and second baseman Jet Butler (26th round New York Mets). Also, former Diamond Dog pitcher Forrest Moore was drafted in the 38th round by the Florida Marlins despite taking 2010 off. He pitched in five games as a 2009 sophomore.

DAN Cann scored the first goals of his second spell with the Magpies in a pre-season triumph at Willand Rovers on Saturday.
Dan Smith gave Dorchester a first-half lead from the penalty spot, before Cann put the visitors 2-1 ahead after the hosts had levelled.
Striker Cann, who joined the Magpies from Poole Town earlier in the summer, grab- bed another in the second period and Jake Smeeton rounded things off with a well-struck fourth.
That took Dorchester's tally to nine in two games following the 11-0 drubbing by Bournemouth, a result that manager Phil Simkin believes has now been put to bed.
As for Cann, Simkin was understandably pleased to see his man get off the mark in what were very testing conditions.
"The conditions were very difficult, it was so hot and humid," he said. "Dan is a big lad and it wasn't easy for him in conditions like that.
"But he did really well and opened his account for the club with a brace.
"The first was from a Dan Smith cross from the left that he side-footed in after losing his marker.
"The second was blasted in from about 20 yards after a one-two with Ben Joyce, who was outstanding with Dan Smith."
Ryan Woodford played his first full 90 minutes for the Magpies after signing last week, and Simkin was impressed with the performance of young defender Oakley Hanger.
Nick Crittenden and Jamie Gleeson were both rested following knocks against Bridport, while the likes of Tony Rolls, Jason Brookes and Emmanuel Clement all got game time.
"Willand gave us a good game," added Simkin. "I'm disappointed we conceded a goal but pleased we had a good workout again.
"Ryan Woodford was excellent and Oakley Hanger was outstanding at right-back, so, all in all, it was a pretty good day."
Dorchester entertain Portland United tomorrow night (7.45pm).

UNH Athletics Top 20 Moments from 2012-13 (Part 1)
As the University enjoys a little down time between sports seasons and our student-athletes busy themselves coaching at UNH sports campus and other summer occupations, we offer a two-part series looking back at the top 20 moments in Wildcat athletics during the past year.
Let the countdown begin.
The Wildcat women's soccer team extended their postseason run to 12 straight America East Tournament appearances, hosting Stony Brook at Lewis Fields on October 23. Under the guidance of new head coach Sam Lopes, the Wildcats will look to make it 13 straight playoff appearances come fall.
At a March 9 Penn State meet, the gymnastics team scored a 49.425 on floor exercise to shatter the school record. Kayla Gray (Buffalo, N.Y.) led the way with a career-high 9.925, while teammate Austyn Fobes equaled her personal best with a 9.900. Hannah Barile (Sinking Spring, Pa.) and Jannelle Minichiello (Tewksbury, Mass.) also contributed with career-high scores of their own.
The volleyball team started off America East conference play with a perfect 4–0 mark, including seven straight wins overall, and a road victory over eventual conference champion Binghamton (Sep. 15–Oct. 5). Morgan Thatcher (Brockton, Mass.) led the 'Cats in kills in each of the seven victories and the Wildcats put together back-to-back sweeps of Providence and Dartmouth amid a span of eight-straight set wins.
In front of a senior day crowd at Lundholm Gym on March 3, the men's basketball team completed a season series sweep of Maine for the first time since the 1994–95 season. Ferg Myrick (Philadelphia, Pa.) led the charge with a career-high 27 points, including 22 in the second half. Chandler Rhoads (Berryville, Va.) and Patrick Konan (Gainesville, Fla.) added 13 points apiece.
On April 17, the women's lacrosse team defeated Boston University, 13–12, at Cowell Stadium to help propel the Wildcats into the America East Championship tournament. Jenny Simpson (New Canaan, Conn.) and Nicole Grote (Ellicott City, Md.) recorded three goals apiece to lead the Wildcat offense and the 'Cats never trailed in the contest. A late surge by the Terriers was stymied by Amber Casiano's (South Windsor, Conn.) goal with 20 seconds remaining, sealing the triumph for the Wildcats.
Sam Coffey (Snowmass, Colo.) and Taylor Vest-Burton (Breckenridge, Colo.) of the men's alpine ski team each earned All-America First Team honors in slalom while competing at the 2013 NCAA Skiing Championships in Vermont on March 8. Coffey notched third place in the event while Vest-Burton crossed the line with a time good enough for fifth place.
On March 1, John Henrion (Holden, Mass.) scored a goal with 3.7 seconds remaining in regulation, sending the Whittemore Center crowd into a frenzy and forcing overtime between the fifth ranked men's ice hockey team and the UMass Minutemen. The goal marked just the beginning of a memorable weekend for the senior forward; Henrion posted his first career hat trick the following night en route to a 4–0 Wildcat victory.
The men's cross country team compiled a second-place finish at the America East Championships on October 27. Cory Sinotte (Manchester, N.H.) placed second overall to lead the Wildcats to its best finish since 2009. Daniel DeCrescenzo (New Milford, Conn.) also helped the effort with a sixth place finish.
The men's ice hockey team orchestrated a pair of comeback wins over Denver, including a 5–2 triumph in the NCAA Northeast Regional semifinal at the Verizon Wireless Arena on March 29. Trevor van Riemsdyk (Middletown, N.J.) knotted the score with a second period power play goal that ignited a stretch of four unanswered tallies, sending the Wildcats to the regional final for the third time in five years.
On December 3, the men's ice hockey team rode an eight-game winning streak to a first place ranking in two national weekly polls. The Wildcats compiled a 11–1–2 mark through their first 14 games and saw themselves as the nation's number one team for the first time since 2007. The team's .857 win percentage matched the best start through 14 games in program history.

Let us explore for a moment the notion that the Catholic Church is a safe haven for criminals -- if not a criminal organization, then at least an organization whose leadership engages in criminality.
Such a topic goes beyond the comfort level of some people because it is interpreted as an attack on religion, or specifically on the Catholic Church. People are entitled to their own expressions of faith, to express God in the manner in which they choose, or to refuse to acknowledge the existence of a higher power or Supreme Being. With that said, religious organizations, of which the Catholic Church is an example, are merely social constructions, entities devised by human beings to meet certain goals. No institution is sacrosanct and beyond the laws of nations. There is no mysticism involved, no divine hand sweeping down to make the rules, just people with their selfish motives. Their policies for self-preservation, including maintaining power and the status quo, may or may not correspond with the needs of their followers. Often, the followers be damned so that the corporation can remain intact.
The recent news coming from the Catholic Church does not bode well: when he was a cardinal, the current Pope refused to defrock a Wisconsin priest who molested as many as 200 deaf boys. Another priest faces extradition to Ireland for raping a 15-year-old boy 40 years ago. European politicians are calling on the Church to hold sex abuse inquiries in Ireland and Germany. Germans want to know what the Pope and his brother knew about the decades-long abuse in an elementary school and a German boys' choir that the Pope's brother once directed. And new abuse scandals have cropped up in Switzerland, Austria, and Brazil. Once viewed as solely an American phenomenon, the problem is going worldwide. The Vatican tells its bishops to cover up the sex abuse cases or risk being thrown out of the Church. Child victims are forced to sign statements vowing that they will remain silent about the abuse they suffered. Pedophile priests are not fired or turned in to the authorities but are transferred to other parishes, where they continue to prey on children.
In a game of bait and switch, the Vatican has pushed back at the criticism, attacking the media for a "conspiracy" against the Church for focusing on allegations of the Pope's role in covering up the abuse. But those who themselves are engaged in a criminal conspiracy are in no position to blame their accusers of a conspiracy. That's just getting to the facts.
Surely, some will point to the good deeds of the Church, and good deeds exist, to be sure. A track record of charity, of helping the poor, and of improving society exists alongside a troubling history of participating in slavery and colonization and maintaining indifference towards the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. All institutions are human and therefore flawed. But to whitewash a systemic problem of child sex abuse and pretend it doesn't exist? What is there to fear in the truth, and whose interests are protected by covering up the scandal? The interests of the children? Certainly even the most ardent parishioners cannot excuse the inexcusable and must realize that there is no wiggle room when it comes to the rape and torture of children.
I have concluded that any nonreligious organization with such a track record of abuse would have been indicted under the RICO Act a long time ago. Racketeering, pedophilia, rape, assault, and criminal conspiracy to cover up all of the above -- these are the things for which prisons were made.
The Vatican and its agents are a major worldwide repository for child abusers and pedophiles. Surely, part of the reason for this is the environment of secrecy and sexual repression. Another part of it is a vow of celibacy that encourages an unhealthy attitude towards human sexuality. And it always comes back to sexuality, doesn't it? A policy of homophobia forces gay priests to remain in the closet, in a Church where a sizable proportion of priests is likely gay. The Church condemns contraception, an irresponsible stance given the rampant spread of AIDS in Africa and elsewhere. And the subjugation of women allows an all-male club of crusty old dudes to dominate the Church hierarchy. Certainly, one can envision a more open atmosphere if women were allowed to become priests and provide leadership to a Church badly in need of new leaders.
The Catholic Church is hemorrhaging money due to the billions of dollars in compensation required to settle the sex abuse claims. And no one wants to become a priest, for obvious reasons. This is an anachronistic institution that refuses to change to meet the realities of a modern world. Such institutions eventually die under the weight of their own irrelevance, intransigence, and corruption. And if Church authorities' top priority is saving the Church rather than saving lives, protecting children, and weeding out the criminals in their midst, then it is a fitting demise indeed. Ultimately, those who truly care about the future of this or any other Church should strive to change it.

Lacrosse season in review
After their 2001 Patriot League Championship appearance,
the Crusaders were poised and ready for the 2002 season.
Despite returning eight starters to the team, the women faced
a challenging schedule without the help of Jen Amendola
'01former co-captain, a three-time All Patriot
League selection, 1998 Patriot League Rookie of the Year,
a career-record holder for goals and points and a 2001 Northeast
Region All-American.
This season, the Crusaders were lead by tri-captains, midfielders Taylor
R. Connolly '02 (Skaneateles, N.Y.) and Beth A.
Pugliano '02 (Loudonville, N.Y.) and defensive player, Susan
MacWilliams '02 (Arnold, Md.). Holy Cross started the
season with an overtime win against Fairfield University,
highlighted by a three-goal performance by MacWilliams.
After a tough loss to Massachusetts, the Crusaders rebounded
with a win over Sacred Heart, which included a four-goal
performance by Justine A. Reeber '03 (Newport, R.I.),
three goals by two-time All-Patriot League selection Erin
G. Rowse '03 (Baltimore, Md.) and 18 saves from goaltender Mary (Kellaigh) Malangone
'03 (Lake Grove, N.Y.).
Following back-to-back losses to Davidson and American,
the Crusaders battled back with wins over Howard and Colgate.
With a 4-3 record, the Crusaders were getting worthy contributions
from all players, especially midfielder Catherine E. Britt
'04 (Winchester, Mass.), who quickly emerged as the team's
leading scorer. After her five-goal performance against Villanova,
Britt was selected as the Patriot League Women's Lacrosse
Offensive Player of the Week, an honor which Rowse had also
received one week earlier for her effort against Colgate.
The end of March marked the start of a very difficult stretch
for the Crusaders who closed out their season by losing seven
of their final nine games. The two victories include a 13-9
win over Vermont and a 10-9 overtime win over Bucknell. The
Crusaders showed sincere effort in tough games with Villanova,
Albany and Lehigh. All three games were lost with time winding
down in the second half.
Holy Cross finished the season with a record of 6-12, 2-4
in the Patriot League. The team was led offensively by Britt,
who scored 36 goals, and Rowse, who chipped in with 23 goals
and 26 assists. Rowse earned Second Team All-Patriot League
honors for her efforts. Also contributing greatly were Reeber,
(24 goals and 10 assists), Heather E. Bryce '03 (Arnold,
Md.), (10 goals and 7 assists), and Kerry M. Daly '04 (Pelham,
N.Y.), (12 goals). Defensively, Holy Cross was led by MacWilliams
and Roth, who also earned Second Team All-Patriot League
With as many as 19 players returning for the 2003 season
and the expectations of a great recruiting class, the Crusaders
have a right to be optimistic about the future.

- For discussion of the area sometimes termed southwest Asia, see Middle East.
The culture of Asia is the artificial aggregation of the cultural heritage of many nationalities, societies, religions, and ethnic groups in Asia. The continent is often divided into geographic and cultural subregions, including the Caucasus, Central Asia, East Asia, South Asia (the "Indian subcontinent"), North Asia, and Southeast Asia. (Southwest Asia and the Middle East are often considered geographically but not culturally Asian). Asian cultures also range from rural and tribal indigenous cultures, such as much of Mongolia and central Asia, to highly urbanized and cosmopolitan metropolitan areas, such as Singapore and Hong Kong.
Asian art, music, and cuisine, as well as literature, are important parts of Asian culture. Eastern philosophy and religion also plays a major role, with Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism, Islam, and Christianity all playing major roles. One of the most complex parts of Asian culture is the relationship between traditonal cultures and the Western world.
Nationalities and ethnic groupsEdit
There are an abundance of ethnic groups throughout Asia, with adaptations to the climate zones of Asia, which can be arctic, subarctic, temperate, subtropical or tropical. The ethnic groups have adapted to mountains, deserts, grasslands, and forests. On the coasts of Asia, the ethnic groups have adopted various methods of harvest and transport. Some groups are primarily hunter-gatherers, some practice transhumance (nomadic lifestyle), others have been agrarian/rural for millennia and others are becoming industrial/urban. Some groups/countries of Asia are completely urban (Singapore and Hong Kong). The colonization of Asia was largely ended in the twentieth century, with national drives for independence and self-determination across the continent.

- Main article: Asian architecture
Until contact with European influence, some cultures would build renewable buildings. For example, in Japan, the temples of Kyoto and Nara might be over 1,000 years old in style, but be completely rebuilt, in the same style, every few generations or so. The primary reason for this was that the materials might be wood and thatch rather than stone and tile.
Other cultures might build from stone, but the jungles and forests might overgrow the buildings, as in Angkor Wat.

Central AsiaEdit
- Main article: Central Asian music
The music of Central Asia is as vast and unique as the many cultures and peoples who inhabit the region. The one constant throughout the musical landscape is Islam, which defines the music's focus and the musicians' inspiration.
Principal instrument types are two- or three-stringed lutes, the necks either fretted or fretless; fiddles made of horsehair; flutes, mostly open at both ends and either end-blown or side-blown; and Jews' harps, either metal or, often in Siberia, wooden. Percussion instruments include frame drums, tambourines, and kettledrums.
Instrumental polyphony is achieved primarily by lutes and fiddles. On the other hand, vocal polyphony is achieved in different ways: Bashkirs hum a basic pitch while playing solo flute.
East AsiaEdit

Southeast AsiaEdit
- Main article: Southeast Asian music
In Punjab, India, bhangra is popular.
In Southeast Asia, dance is an integral part of the culture; the styles of dance vary from island to island. There are courtly dances, found, for example, wherever there are Rajahs and princesses. There are also dances of celebration. For example, according to oral history, in 1212, when 10 Bornean datus left the rule of Sri Vijayan empire on Borneo, they sailed away and negotiated settlement rights with the chieftain of the Negritos on the island of Panay. In commemoration of the agreement, they danced; the Negritos danced as well. This section is a stub. You can help by adding to it.
Mythology and folkloreEdit
The story of Great Floods find reference in most of the regions of Asia. The Hindu mythology tells about an avatar of God Vishnu in the form of a fish who warned Manu of a terrible flood. In ancient Chinese mythology Shan Hai Jing, the Chinese ruler Da Yu had to spend ten years to control a deluge which swept out most of the ancient China and was aided by the goddess Nuwa who literally "fixed" the "broken" sky through which huge rains were pouring.
The regions of Asia has a rich variety of mythical fauna. Japan has Nekomatas, cats with two tails and having magical powers; whereas Balinese mythology has child-eating Rangdas. Hindu mythology have Pishachas haunting the cremation grounds to eat half-burnt human corpses, and Bhuts hanting the desolate places. Asia has a rich tradition of folklores and storytelling. In the Indian subcontinent, the Panchatantra, a collection of fables 200 BC, has remained a favorite for 2000 years.
Asia is a continent with great linguistic diversity, and is home to several language families and many language isolates. A majority of Asian countries have more than one language that is natively spoken. For instance, according to Ethnologue over 600 languages are spoken in Indonesia while over 100 are spoken in the Philippines. Korea, on the other hand, is home to only one language.
The main language families found in Asia, along with examples of each, are:
- Austro-Asiatic: Vietnamese, Khmer
- Austronesian: Indonesian, Malay, Javanese, Sundanese, Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilokano, Tetum, Atayal, Paiwan, Cham
- Dravidian: Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu
- Indo-European: Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Gujarati,Sanskrit, Nepali, Persian, Tajik, Kurdish, Pashto, Russian, Armenian, English
- Japonic: Japanese, Okinawan
- Sino-Tibetan: Mandarin, Cantonese, Burmese, Tibetan
- Tai-Kadai: Thai, Lao
- Turkic: Turkish, Azeri, Turkmen, Tatar, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz
Other languages that do not belong to the above groups are Korean, Mongolian, Georgian, Ainu, Hmong, and many others.
In Tang and Song dynasty China, famous poets such as Li Bai authored works of great importance. They wrote shī (Classical Chinese: 诗) poems, which have lines with equal numbers of characters, as well as cí (词) poems with mixed line varieties. Early-Modern Japanese literature (17th–19th centuries) developed comparable innovations such as haiku, a form of Japanese poetry that evolved from the ancient hokku (Japanese language: 発句) mode. Haiku consists of three lines: the first and third lines each have five morae (the rough phonological equivalent of syllables), while the second has seven. Original haiku masters included such figures as Edo period poet Matsuo Bashō (松尾芭蕉); others influenced by Bashō include Kobayashi Issa and Masaoka Shiki.
The polymath Rabindranath Tagore, a Bengali poet, dramatist, and writer who was an Indian, became in 1913 the first Asian Nobel laureate. He won his Nobel Prize in Literature for notable impact his prose works and poetic thought had on English, French, and other national literatures of Europe and the Americas.He also wrote the Indian anthem Later, other Asian writers won Nobel Prizes in literature, including Yasunari Kawabata (Japan, 1966), and Kenzaburo Oe (Japan, 1994). In Pakistani literature, Saadat Hasan Manto (Urdu: سعادت حسن منٹو) was a Punjab (Pakistan)-born Kashmiri short story writer who was notable for confronting controversial topics — including incest and social injustice — with wit, humor, and satire.
- Main article: Eastern philosophy
Asian philosophical traditions originated in India and China, and has been classified as Eastern philosophy covering a large spectrum of philosophical thoughts and writings, including those popular within India and China. The Indian philosophy include Hindu and Buddhist philosophies. They include elements of non-material pursuits, whereas another school of thought Carvaka, which originated in India, and was propuned by Charvak around 2500 years before, preached the enjoyment of material world.
During the 20th century, in the two most populous countries of Asia, two dramatically different political philosophies took shape. Gandhi gave a new meaning to Ahimsa, and redefined the concepts of nonviolence and nonresistance. During the same period, Mao Zedong's communist philosophy was crystallized.
Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism originated in India, a country of South Asia. In East Asia, particularly in China and Japan, Confucianism, Taoism, Zen Buddhism and Shinto took shape. Other religions of Asia include Bahá'í Faith, Shamanism practiced in Siberia and Animism, practiced in the eastern parts of the Indian subcontinent.
Today 30% of Muslims live in the South Asian region of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. The world's largest single Muslim community (within the bounds of one nation) is in Indonesia. There are also significant Muslim populations in the Philippines, China, Central Asia, Iran, and Russia.
In the Philippines and East Timor, Roman Catholicism is the predominant religion; it was introduced by the Spaniards and the Portuguese, respectively. In Armenia, Eastern Orthodoxy is the predominant religion. Various Christian sects have adherents in portions of the Middle East.
Festivals & celebrationsEdit
Asia has a variety of festivals and celebrations. In China, Chinese New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Moon Festival are traditional holidays, while National Day is a holiday of the PRC. In Japan, Japanese New Year, National Foundation Day, Children's Day, The Emperor's Birthday, and Christmas are popular. Buddhist festivals include Vesak and Asalha Puja.
In India, Republic Day and Independence Day are important national festivals celebrated by people irrespective of faith. Major Hindu festivals of India include Diwali, Dussehra or Daserra, Holi, Makar Sankranti, Pongal, Mahashivratri, Ugadi, Navratri, Ramanavami, Baisakhi , Onam, Rathayatra, Ganesh Chaturthi, and Krishna Janmastami.
In the Philippines, there is a very strong Spanish influence in their festivals. The Spaniards infused their love of merry-making to the Filipinos, thus making the Asian Philippines, distinctively occidental. Fiesta is the term used to refer to a festival. Most of these fiestas are celebrated in honor of a patron Saint. Some prime examples include Sinulog from Cebu and Ilo-Ilo's Dinagyang.
Food & drinkEdit
This diversity is also reflected in Asian cuisine, in the use of basic ingredients as well as in the style of preparation and cooking techniques.In East Asia, rice is a staple food, and it is mostly served steamed or as a porridge known as congee. China is the world largest producer and consumer of rice. In India, people often eat food with their hands, and many spices are used in every dish. Most spices originated around India or neighboring countries such as Sri Lanka. In the Middle East, it is customary to share a large family dinner, often with spices like saffron. Rice, poultry, and vegetables are common in Arab cuisine. Durians are a common fruit in Southeast Asia, which, Alfred Russel Wallace, attested to its delicious flavor as worth the entire cost of his trip there.

Below I've written down a couple of free basic exercises which have been kindly provided by a penis exercise website. There exercises are very basic and are only designed to give you a start to a penis exercise program. These are two exercises taken from Penis Health which contain over 35 exercises described in detail in images and professional movies. Obviously I can't do that for you so I've written them down.
The exercises below are quite common and just designed to start you off. I hope they help you out.
Warm up exercise - to get more blood into the penis.
To perform a warm up you will need a small towel or small piece of cloth and some warm water. Soak your cloth in the warm water until it gets hot but not too hot. Wrap the cloth around your penis and testicles. This may feel a bit strange or uncomfortable but you soon get used to it.
Keep the cloth in place for 1 minute or until it starts to go cool. Then soaked the cloth again in warm water and repeat the process. After a few minutes you should feel warm enough to start with your exercise routine. If you don't then simply continue with the warm up until you feel loose and feel the blood flowing. A warm is essential to increase gains and prevent injury.
Exercise in a nut-sack:
- Use a small hand towel.
- Wet this hand towel using warm water.
- Place the hand towel around your penis.
- Wet the towel again to keep the warmth.
- Leave the hand towel on the penis for 2-3 minutes.
- Temporary discard of the towel and perform workout.
- When workout is finished re-heat the towel.
- Apply the towel to the penis for another 2-3 minutes.
- Always use the same towel for hygiene reasons.
The Long Shlong Basic - a very very basic stretching exercise.
Ensure that you are fully warmed up and ready to exercise and that your penis is completely soft and flaccid – performing exercises when you have an erection is difficult. Take the head of your penis in your hand holding just underneath the head (if you are uncircumcised pull your foreskin back, you are pulling on your penis not stretching the skin). Then stretch it straight forward holding for 10 – 15 seconds. If performed correctly you will feel the stretch at the base of your penis. Repeat that 5 times. After take a 1 minute break and massage the head of your penis to restore normal blood flow.
Now, hold your penis and pull it to the right. Keep pulling it to the right until you feel pressure on the left side of your penis. Hold the stretch for 10 – 15 seconds. Repeat the exercise 5 times. After, massage the head of your pens to restore blood flow. Now, repeat the exercise but this time pulling to the left. Once you have learnt the exercise and performed it you will have a basic understanding of what to do.
Perform the exercise until you feel a good stretch at the base of your penis. Stop immediately if you feel any pain or discomfort. Ease yourself slowly into the exercise to get your body used to it. Unwanted injury will only slow down your progress. The exercises can be performed daily for either a number of reps or minutes.
Exercise in a nut sack:
- As per usual warm up thoroughly.
- Grasp the tip of your penis firmly, below the head.
- Pull it out in front of you and hold for 15 seconds.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
- Relax and gently massage head of penis.
- Stretch penis to right and hold for 15 seconds.
- Relax and massage head of penis.
- Stretch penis to left and hold for 15 seconds.
- Always repeat for desired number of reps.
These are just a couple of basic exercises to start you off. For a full professional penis exercise program with videos take a look at PenisHealth
