A guided tour of the Forbury Gardens in Reading, Berkshire, is being held on Friday as part of the national Heritage Open Days campaign.
The gardens have been closed since May while the year-long conservation work is carried out.
Specialist restorers have already begun vital work at the nearby abbey ruins.
Maiwand lion
Improvements have also been carried out to the gardens themselves, with boundary walls cleaned up, ivy and shrubs removed and the fountain drained ahead of its restoration.
Councillor Catherine Wilton, Reading Borough Council's culture boss, said: "The Forbury restoration project is one of the most important schemes under way in Reading and I am sure people will be interested to have a look at the work in progress."
Work is also to be carried out on the Maiwand lion statue and bandstand during the lottery-backed scheme.
The gardens themselves will be closed until 2 May, 2005, with the abbey ruins only closed until this November.

KATIE ZERR: DOJ's investigation of reporter wrong on every level
A sports fan can tell when a coach is beginning to lose control of a team. There are signs that not all is right when cameras catch heated exchanges between the players, or the players and coaches. Sometimes it is one or two players telling the press about what is happening in the locker room or that there are certain members of the team who are not doing their job.
When it becomes obvious that not all is good in the locker room, it is time for the team's leader to step up and take action. Usually a coach will loose his job, or the offending team members are .
In Washington, it is becoming clear that there is unrest in the ranks and President Obama is losing control of the team.
With the media and Congress pushing for action to be taken, whether or not it is needed, the president is between a rock and hard place. It is clear that he has not had control of his coaches or some of the players and it is coming back to bite him.
Some of the "scandals" in Washington are not as serious as they are being made out to be, but there are serious situations at the White House. Obama needs to get control of the team for the fans to feel comfortable that he is in command.
The Department of Justice's (DOJ) actions in the case of Fox News journalist James Rosen is such a situation. The scandal revolves around the DOJ's seizure of emails from the Rosen's personal g-mail account.
A 2010 FBI affidavit used to obtain a search warrant showed that the government viewed Rosen's aggressive solicition of a leak of classified information as aiding, abetting or conspiring with his source in violating the "Unauthorized Disclosure of National Defense Information" statute. The DOJ considered Rosen someone who possessed evidence about the source of a national security leak and an indictable law-breaker. Rosen, it seems, was discussing with a contractor North Korea's reaction to sanctions with more nuclear tests.
The DOJ was already in hot water over the revelation that federal prosecutors had seized the phone records of reporters and editors from the Associated Press in a separate leak probe. It had caused a firestorm of criticism from the media, civil-liberties groups, and members of Congress. The actions of the DOJ were an egregious offence against the sanctions of a free and unencumbered press.
The DOJ's investigation of the Associated Press involves a 2012 leak of classified information about a foiled al Qaeda plot to down a commercial airliner. In a time when terror is our greatest foe, the DOJ seemed to get a little leeway on this investigation.
But the Rosen case is outrageous from the beginning and if the DOJ does not have solid, irrefutable evidence that Rosen committed treasonous acts and is an enemy of the state, then heads should roll in Washington.
Attorney General Eric Holder bears a direct responsibility. He approved a search warrant that labeled Rosen's work as an investigative reporter as criminal conduct.
He is the coach that should take the responsibility for the public losing confidence in this team. He is responsible and he should answer for it.
The Obama administration is still drowning in the allegations that the IRS targeted conservative groups and the Benghazi attack. The Attorney General's department has not only overstepped their bounds but have committed an act that harms the functions of the freedom of the press. The loss of liberty in the press muzzles the watchdog of the government.
Thomas Jefferson, a man who had a love-hate relationship with newspapers once said, "Our liberty depends upon the freedom of the press."
We cannot have an administration that tolerates the squashing of that freedom.

The singer will start rehearsal for the upcoming North American tour soon after he comes back from his European promotional effort.
Following his performance at the April 14 result show of "American Idol", Adam Lambert visited Ryan Seacrest's KIIS FM radio show the next day for an interview. Among other things that he discussed was his forthcoming North American tour.
"I am working on it right now," he said. "I am actually about to leave on Sunday for three weeks to go over to the U.K. I go over there. My album [For Your Entertainment] is coming out, I'm so excited to do some TV shows and promo out there. All over Europe, it has been a really good response. Then I come back, and right away I start rehearsals for my first North American tour."
On what he plans to offer, the 28-year-old singer revealed, "I want it to be atmospheric. I want it to feel like you are somewhere else. I want it to transport people. I can tell you right now that it is going to be called Glam Nation. And it is going to be very glittery and sparkly, but it is going to have that mystery and the mood and the sexy and the celebration. I think the fans are going to be in for a real treat."
Beside talking about the traveling show, Adam Lambert also commented on his laser beams performance on "American Idol". He explained, "I wanted to make it sound and look different. I also wanted it to be different from the things that we see on American Idol. I asked for laser beams and they gave me laser beams."

At the conclusion of the Durango Fall Classic tournament Saturday, four San Diego section volleyball players were named to the All-Tournament team for their performances this weekend.
Torrey Pines players Reilly Buechler, Mikaela Duhs, Savannah Rennie and Rebecca Seaberry received four of the 16 total spots on the team following the Falcons' tournament victory, their second-consecutive championship.
In addition, Buechler was named tournament most valuable player.
Torrey Pines defeated Kamehameha (26-14, 23-25, 26-24) in the finals. The Fall Classic runner-ups produced the second most All-Tournament players with three, one shy of the Falcons.
The annual Las Vegas invitation-only tournament, which showcases 64 girls volleyball programs, fielded four San Diego county teams — Francis Parker, Cathedral Catholic, La Costa Canyon and the Falcons — and several nationally ranked programs, most notably No. 21 Assumption and No. 36 Archbishop Mitty.

Six-year-old Samuel Nakkan has played his last game of soccer. But his dreams of emulating the swimming feats of his hero Ian Thorpe remain intact after ground-breaking surgery to save his left leg.
In the next 24 hours Samuel is expected to take his first steps since a surgeon at Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick, removed a cancerous thigh bone last week and replaced it with an expandable prosthesis that can be adjusted as the patient grows.
The surgery, the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere, is expected to eliminate the need for multiple operations. Samuel's next surgery is not expected until he stops growing, when a permanent prosthesis will be required.
Dr Ian Woodgate, who performed the five-hour operation last week, said that until now children like Samuel, diagnosed with osteosarcoma, usually had their leg amputated, or expanded using a painful and invasive endoprosthesis to increase the limb length.
"With every operation . . . there is the risk of infection, the risk of further damage to the muscle, further damage to the nerves and arteries, prolonged rehabilitation and increased pain," he said.
The $65,000 cost of the implant also compared favourably with the $400,000-$500,000 needed for multiple operations, he said.
Used for the past five years in the US and Europe, the prosthesis, also available in an upper arm version, can be expanded as often as necessary to match the length of the other limb.
"It can be done as a day procedure, so [Samuel] can walk in and walk out with virtually no pain relief required," Dr Woodgate said.
The implant had been customised to extend by 10-11 centimetres, Dr Woodgate said.
Samuel's parents, Beth and Craig Nakkan, of Mortdale, said Samuel had complained of pain in his leg after a soccer match in May. X-rays and biopsies led to the diagnosis of cancer.
Mrs Nakkan said that apart from some discomfort, Samuel - who underwent 10 weeks of chemotherapy to shrink the tumour before surgery - was happy and positive.
Glenn Marshall, an oncologist, said a four-month chemotherapy program would begin next week to mop up any residual cells, but rated Samuel's chances of remaining free of cancer as high.
Any impact activity, such as running, will be restricted, so he must now focus on his other sporting passion, swimming.
Mrs Nakkan said: "His hero is Ian Thorpe, and he said to me, 'Mummy, I'd like to beat him out of the pool'."
"But I said to him, 'It won't be at the Olympics any more, sweetie; it might be at the Paralympics'."

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewHighly evolved Apex Predators on their homeworld of Parnack, the Yahg are a brutal sapient species deemed by the Citadel Council as incompatible with wider galactic society. Towering creatures and rather imposing, they are said to put the Krogans' savagery to shame. Beyond their massive size, strength and aggressive nature, however, they are also a race with seemingly limitless learning potential.Though highly intelligent, the Yahg evolved with with their more animalistic behaviours intact, they are an extremely violent species and exhibit a strong pack mentality. This mentality is so strong that when a leader is established - whether through violence or social manipulation - all others will fall in line behind it, including any former rivals or enemies.HistoryThe Council discovered the Yahg at a technological state equivalent to that of the Human race's 20th Century status. They attempted to make first contact but the Yahg were insulted that they would consider themselves equals and not subordinates. This quickly led the Yahg to massacre the Council's entire contact party. The Council then quarantined the species from the rest of the Galaxy, determining that due to their size, brutal nature and obsession with control that they would not be able to integrate with the galactic community without incident.The Shadow BrokerOnly one Yahg is known to have made it off Parnack, a Yahg whom was revealed to be The Shadow Broker in Mass Effect 2's Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC. Liara surmises that this Yahg had killed its predecessor and then taken his place as Shadow Broker for the following 60 years.It is revealed through mail archived on The Shadow Broker's ship that his predecessor had sought to use the Yahg as his own personal shock troopers or bodyguards. Smuggled willingly away from Parnak by Operative Kechlu, within merely a few months of arriving on The Shadow Broker's ship this Yahg exhibited the incredible learning potential of his race, learning seventeen languages and making political predictions that bettered some of The Shadow Broker's best agents. By the end of those same few months the Yahg murdered Operative Kechlu and assumed his duties - a course of action that had been anticipated by The Shadow Broker.Soon, however, The Shadow Broker determined that the Yahg was too great a threat and attempted to order it killed. While in the process of doing so, however, the Yahg managed to kill The Shadow Broker and replace him without his subordinates knowledge thanks to the inherent secrecy surrounding The Shadow Broker.

[Editor's Note: Voter registration has now started for South Sudan's January 9 referendum on independence -- an event whose occurrence is threatened by North Sudan's intransigence and by logistical hurdles, but which is necessary to help prevent a disastrous return to north-south civil war. Below, the Episcopal archbishop of Sudan offers an on-the-ground perspective of why the churches in South Sudan are essential to building a lasting peace.]
During the war, the churches in the Southern Sudan were the only platform bringing the communities together, because the political platform was not there; the church was the only civil society in the country, especially in the South. They were the only hope of the people of the Southern Sudan.
But after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed in 2005, we did not stop there. We know that our people who are coming home [after having been displaced by war] are traumatized by the war, so we set up a mechanism of bringing the communities together, because the communities were divided for 21 years. Some were in the North Sudan, and some were in East Africa. And those who were within the country, it was very hard for them to understand [each other], because a young generation has grown up in a completely different culture. They may be related, but in culture they have changed. It was the church who managed to bring their differences together and [help] them to begin a new life during the five years of the CPA that we have had. We have held conferences between communities, we have brought consolation between communities, and we are continuing doing that. Even recently, we asked the churches who have managed to sit together with the government of the Southern Sudan to reconcile, because they have been having problems among themselves.
Before the election in April this year, people were not expecting that the election was going to take place; people were afraid. People were going to fight. But the churches took it upon themselves to go to every village to educate people to tell them the importance of the vote, of being a citizen -- it is your right to vote. It is only the first one after 55 years; we never voted before. So we, as the church, took up the challenge to educate our people so that they can experience voting.
At first, they were reluctant to register. People were thinking that it was a waste of time -- and wondering what is going to be done against them later on. But when we went in and explained the differences between the present election and the past one, then they could understand. I and the Catholic archbishop, Paulino Lukudu [Loro], went and registered ourselves; then we invited the media to let the people see what we are doing and have been saying. The following Sunday, everybody went for registration. So we persuaded the people, because they have confidence in the church leadership. We could give you a lot of examples of what we are doing as a church at the moment concerning reconciliation and peacemaking.
The Rt. Rev. Daniel Deng Bul is archbishop of the Episcopal Church of Sudan. This blog is taken from an interview last month with Sojourners associate editor Elizabeth Palmberg.

Pizza Hut provides food for thought
Page Tools
Not even the most ardent Pizza Hut fan would describe the popular franchise's fare as haute cuisine. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
"In China, Pizza Hut is a high-value, deluxe brand. One pizza costs the equivalent in China of $30," said senior Austrade executive Barbara Hilder, a former trade commissioner in China and Japan.
"It's considered a status symbol and is highly regarded," said Mark Sutherland, managing director of Melbourne trade consultancy 2gro international .
The lesson, delivered to a gathering of small-business people in Melbourne, is that would-be exporters should do their homework. Mr Sutherland, who has a masters in international business, said exporters had to research the most basic information about their markets, including the age of the population, the standard of living, education levels, gross domestic product per capita, and how the government came to power. These factors indicated the development stage of the country. "The political structure — how the government came to power — indicates risk," he said. Business should ponder: "Can the government seize my investment?"
Mr Sutherland said understanding the target culture was crucial, including psychographic patterns — lifestyles and trends — and patriotism.
"Does my product suit this culture or jar with tradition?" he said. McDonald's had learnt this lesson. In Germany it sold its hamburgers with beer, it sold lamb-burgers in India, not beefburgers, and riceburgers in Japan.
Mr Sutherland said exporters needed to do an in-depth screening of their product. Creative marketing could create a new use for what they wanted to sell.
In Taiwan, for example, Coca-Cola managed to associate its drink with traditional Chinese food. Mr Sutherland said exporters should investigate where the target market was serviced from, locally or by imports, or the belief system surrounding the product. In China, for example, he said there was not much interest in brands. "The focus is on country of origin," he said.
Mr Sutherland also said products had their own lifecycle. A product, such as a refrigerator, could be out-of-date for one market but ideal for another.

Does Sprint plan to offer or support this device?
Thanks for your Community Post inquiring if Sprint will provide support for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, in what capacity are your referring to offering support? If you have any question about the device, we are definitely available to assist you. You may also acquire additional support by visiting www.sprint.com/support.
Thank You,
Yahkie W.
Sprint Social Care Team
I don't see the device for sale in the Sprint Store. If I were to buy it from Samsung(or 3rd party) off contract would I be able to use it in my current plan?
I currently have a Note 2 on contract.
We currently do not offer the Samsung Galaxy Note tablet at the moment, but we do have the Galaxy Tab 2 available and fully support it.
EDIT: I have not heard of a supported chipset, but if you are able to find a the tablet with a wireless chip that states that it supports wireless activation on Sprint we can activate it on your account and we will offer support for the wireless connection. It would only be best-effort support for the operating system since we don't carry the device and thus don't have documentation on it.
Thank you,

Here's a recording in a mystery language.
Can you identify the language, and do you know where it's spoken?
Here's a recording in a mystery language.
Can you identify the language, and do you know where it's spoken?
So far, the same one as last week! Same recording…
I agree with Simon. It's a different recording for sure. I don't recognize this language, but it sounds like something either very closely related to Bengali (i.e. another Eastern Indo-Aryan language) or highly influenced by Bengali (or by another Eastern Indo-Aryan language?). (It sounds a lot like Bengali itself, but not quite).
To throw out just a few possibilities I could think of: Assamese? (Probably not). Sylheti? Santali? Nagamese?
I got exactly the same recording on this and last week's clips on my iPad earlier this morning, and same thing on my iMac this afternoon. No difference.
I also have the exact same recording.
Really? If you go to the following link:
do you still hear the exact same recording? (Also, I wonder whether this has something to do with Apple products. I don't have an iPhone, iPod, or i-anything, but I can hear the new recording Simon put up on my PC).
That's the new one. The problem is: The hypertext link takes you to the new recording, but the embedded player has last week's recording. At least that's the problem on my browser. I doubt it's a Mac thing.
That being said, I don't recognize the language.
Ah! Thanks for the link, Vijay: now I hear the correct file.
Although itbsounds possibly Indian (i.e. from the subcontinent), I will hazard a guess that this is from Colombia. I hear what sounds like a Latin American pronunciation of "Cartagena" a couple of times—though I admit ther may well be a place of the same name in some other Latin American country too…
Nope, it ain't from Colombia! I found the actual recording. Here's a clue: it's one of the languages I guessed!
According to the Spanish Wikipedia, there are places called "Cartagena" in Mexico, Cuba, Costa Rica, and Chile, as well as in Spain and the Philippines.
@Vijay: I think also in Argentina … and in some countries in the middle east as well.
It is indeed Santali, but I personally don't think National Geographic is anywhere near as good as it used to be. (For instance, my dad pointed out that when conflict JUST broke out in Kosovo, they dared to predict very correctly that it would go on to be much worse. I don't see them doing anything like that now).
So, I'm going to provide a link to another traditional Santali story, with nice illustrations and subtitles in Santali written in Devanagari script:
There's a (UK) English translation of the story that you can also find on YouTube or Bookbox (with subtitles in English), but I haven't looked at it yet. For now, I'm satisfied with what I understand from the pictures 🙂
For some reason, when I tried to play the clip, it repeatedly stalled out Windows Media Player

North Bridge, South Bridge and overclocking - q6600
Hey guys,
I got a q6600 running at 2.8ghz fsb of 1245 with memory running at 880mhz 4-4-4-12 timings.
Im at a stage where i just cant stop overclocking and want to push it a little further (preferably without damageing it) I try to overclock past 1260fsb and it wont start. Then i tried raising the vcore a little and got to about 1270.
By this time im getting a little annoyed with resetting the cmos as one does, and i thought i would try setting the Asus Striker Extreme motherboard to auto adjust voltages on the south bridge, north bridge and the vcore. BINGO! i got it to what ever i wanted the fsb to go to (i stopped at 3ghz).
however i thought the motherboard had chosen voltages a bit above what i believe should achieve 3ghz. I think the problem had to do with the north bridge as the south bridge voltage remained stock when i tried to oc (i think). What is the north bridge and is it dangerous to raise the voltage?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check your CPU:RAM ratio. I think it's out of whack.
Should be 1:2 ---> your CPU 266 x 9 / RAM 266 x 2
You should comfortably get CPU 333 x 9 = 3GHz / RAM 333 x 2 = 667
*Edit: I believe this can be done at stock voltage, otherwise, bump CPU Voltage to 1.3V.
Would someone correct me if I'm wrong here, I haven't got the Quad yet, still on my Pen D 945.

check your mem divider ... looks like you are only at 311 FSB ... that CPU should easily do 333FSB x 9 at stock volts
have you locked your PCIe and PCI ? if not, you are automatically overclocking these and that could be a reason why you can not go above your current overclock.

Ok I'd love to know some of the back stories of the guys here on AJ. We all eventually decided we loved music and had to write it ourselves. When, where and why?
My story in a nutshell…I spent a lot of time at my grandmother's house as a kid while my parents worked. She had a book shelf, a TV (which my grandpa was always using) and a piano.
I saw the classic horror movie "Halloween" at a very young age – young enough to be warped by the experience and decided to dedicate my life to directing horror movies (a non music related pursuit but eventually linked up). But I was intrigued that the director of the movie also composed the score. Didn't think it was that out of the ordinary as a kid, but it is. You can count on two hands the film directors who compose their own scores frequently (and you don't need many fingers on the second hand.)
Anyway – the theme music is very memorable, anyone who's seen the movie knows it. So I started trying to figure it out on the piano. Took a few days but I got it. It's simple, wasn't trying to play Beethoven or anything. But that little success gave me drive to keep going and learn more stuff. Xmas carols, pop songs whatever. Inside of 6 months my parents were proclaiming me a child prodigy – not true, but I could ape music pretty well.
So then the 80s arrived with the midi-synth tidal wave that was such a big part of that decade. I was desperate to get my hands on a synth. I went to a music expo in Melbourne with my Dad where Korg had all their latest models on display. I started a paper round delivering newspapers and junk mail for 2 years until I had enough cash to buy a Korg DW-8000. Changed my life, to this day I think it was the most excited I've ever been about owning a material possession.
So I tried a year of piano lessons but was already too far down the road with my own "play by ear" method and dodgy fingering. Midi was my saviour. Still is!
But as the years rolled on and technology improved I upgraded to a Korg O1-W (with floppy drive, that was a BIG extra back in those days), a Korg Triton, Roland stuff until we finally arrived at the era of DAWs and VSTs that we all love.
I just loved music so much I had to figure out how it worked, without all that pesky music theory that I tried but was no good at. Somehow the teachers made it less fun that I knew it was. So I have no formal music training on keyboards, although I did do the full violin thing and passed all exams. Haven't touched a violin since 1989 though so I'm sure I suck on that at present.
Anyway – I write scores for my own movies now, a lifelong goal. And audiojungle is a nice way to have an excuse to write new tracks that are requested by clients. I do a lot of that stuff still, and love it, but need an outlet for music that I write only for myself (and hopefully AJ clients).
Love to hear from you guys how you started in the game and why. I'm sure there are many experiences we've all shared in common. The common link is passion for music. What's your story…?
Good story Jamie, gotta love the early Korgs. Get back on that violin, it can't be very useful!
Music is my only identity and all I'm really good at. I've tried many times to give up "THE DREAM" of making a living with music and go full time school or work but I keep coming back, over and over. Its been a very hard ride going back and forth. I worked for a short time as an accountant and then a financial analyst and for me the difference between making music and working at an office is like the difference between breathing in crisp ocean air and breathing in smog.
I'm very grateful to AJ for giving me hope. We are all so lucky/blessed if you think about it.
At 12 my parents bought me a Casio home keyboard for christmas and by 14 they also bought me a Boss digital delay. By connecting the two together and feed into the aux input of a hi-fi I could create a "big" psuedo synth sound. At 16 I bought my first real synth – Korg Polysix. At 19 – a grandad died and I had inheritence money and bought a Yamaha V50 workstation. Also with this money I got a Korg M1. At 22 – final year at film school I specialised in writing music for moving image – sponsored by company to design sounds for M1 and major project shown at BAFTA. Bought loads of synths Ensoniq Mirage, Roland S-760, Akai S3000 XL, EMU E4 – Syquest cartridges for storage etc plus loads of rack synth modules – wrote loads of UK television programmes – remixed boy bands etc. With a huge arsenal of sounds I still could not find this elusive sound in my head – no not strange voices. Music work dried up went to teaching multimedia – had stable income and last year I invested in music gear. Korg Kronos 88, Korg M3M and also a super computer. Now with Cubase 6.5 and the adequate processing power – 3.7 ghz 32Gb Ram and approx 1.5 TB of sample library – spent about £10k On decent library last year my sound in my head is becoming a reality. Freelance work is picking up very nicely once agin and I am having the time of my life.
Thanks Sky and Graham for your stories. Cool to know we're all driven by the same internal fire to do music no matter what. It's amazing how hard it can be to pursue this passion – especially if you expect to get paid for it. I can't count how many fellow film student's scores I wrote for free, or ads I did on spec to get noticed – but they were all such amazing fun and wouldn't swap any of them.
So you both get joy out of life through music that isn't possible any other way – that's what I felt. There is something so wonderful about writing music and creating emotion through music.
I can hear it in both of your work – I send all my best wishes for years and years of joyous music in your lives. May we all get to use our passion for music for as long as possible. Good stuff.
Thank you 008!

In 2 years old, my parents bought a piano for me and in 4 the first time I realized that it is possible to play , 6 years old go to the music school, 14 graduated, 15 enrolled in music college …17 graduated it and entered the Conservatory, ...23 graduated from the Conservatory (with 18-19 served in the Army in the orchestra :)). Why I started writing music? In my family all in music education, beginning with my great-grandmother … Synthesizers from: Polyvoks (no VST, natural USSR), Vermona (GDR, Germany), Electronica, Unost(USSR).. many Yamaha (Pss & PSR), Roland JW-50 ( I like it too ), E-96, Korg M-1 & Fantom G8 … and maybe more I'm forget now I write on PSR-540, recently sold Fantom …
At 9 my Dad introduced me with his melody in his head and he played on my Casio synth. First time i feel deep emotional felling in music… From that moment till now i created music! On & on! Forever!
Hi Jamie, the first bit of mine might interest you
This is the first time I have ever thought about it. My story as a composer…goes something like this:
When I was a young boy, I used to love the old Hammer horror films and I used to sneak downstairs when staying at my grandparents house late at night to watch them. One day whilst at my uncle Brian's house, he learnt of this interest and gave me a book about horror films (A Pictoral History Of Horror Movies, published by Hamyln…still got it). Anyway, he also had an old home organ…two manuals and pedals. He let me have a go and I started composing my first music…all scary, dark sinister noises and thunder and lightning trying to emulate the creepy music of the films I loved.
Well that was the start. My parents got the family an organ and eventually when my feet could reach the pedals I was allowed to go and have lessons. During my time learning to play I became interested in Jazz and Blues and how in those styles you could 'make' up stuff. Improvise, compose on the fly. I loved that. I was fascinated by it.
Moving on after switching to piano and acquiring a Roland D50 synth…making noises was also marvelous fun…I ended up studying for a music degree after dropping out of art college. Whilst doing the degree, I continued my interest in improvisation but had to start composing 'proper' music….writing, scoring and arranging.
I had always dabbled at composing but that it where I started to understand how to contruct music more professionally. When I left I went on to compose for videogames and also for some other projects such as advertising etc…
I have always mainly been a performer, in groups etc but Audiojungle has sparked my interest after a long time away, in composition once again

Awesome background Studio Etude. Musical family is a great way to ensure your musical skills are not washed away by other circumstances. Can hear in your words the passion for music and the heritage. I was blown away when I learned at around 12 that I had a long history of musicians on both sides of my family – except while I was a kid none of them (except my grandma) were alive. My Dad's father (grandpa #2) had a pianola in his house that no one had played since his mother had died – always resented me playing it for some reason but when I learned the history of the piano it was a nice feeling. To feel like it was still being loved by the surviving musician in the dynasty (lol).
My mum's mum – (grandma #1 to this day) was from Germany and very musical family. Without her I would have never discovered music at the right age. I have 10 year old son who would rather play xbox or playstation than play on Dad's awesome musical rig. I literally would have never made friends as a kid if I had all these toys back then… Trying to expose him to music in a way he will come to like I did, but so far…I seem to be failing.
Music is the most wonderful thing man has invented – in my opinion. We are all so lucky to have this form of expression and AJ as an outlet. Viva musicians everywhere! Thanks Mr Etude.

Four Bright Buttons and Two Joysticks "Neo Geo"
Keith Apicary
Four Bright Buttons and Two Joysticks "Neo Geo Song"
Neo Geo, Neo Geo. Four bright buttons and two joysticks.
Neo Geo, Neo Geo. Cool red cab and a name that sticks.
No one quite did 2D fighters like you did.
No one quite did runnin' and gunnin' like you did
No one quite did Puzzle Bobble like you did
I'll always love my four slot model cause I, I...
I played that cab for hours on end to the point where that thing was my only friend.
With a heavy machine gun in my hand I beat Metal Slug over and over again.
You're 32 bits of endless fun. You're a 1990 revolution.
You're ahead of the game. You are the best. You're the SNK king of MVS.
You're an attractive machine in a pretty red dress.
When I'm playing as Mai I wanna give you a kiss.
Forget Chun Li when there's Shiranui.
She'll knock you out with those big ninja bee's.
I'm the Samurai Showdown digital god when you're playing against me
and my ninja dog. I'm like Galford with my cool blond hair.
But I dont have a ninja dog. I have a ninja chair.
Neo Geo, Neo Geo. Four bright buttons and two joysticks.
Neo Geo, Neo Geo. Cool red cab and a name that sticks.
OK so we all know that Neo Geo MVS arcade cabinet is the best thing to ever exist on the planet. That's obvious. If you were born then you know that. If you don't know that then you're technically not alive. So you might wanna get that checked out.
but there's also another best thing on the planet. Listen up.
ScrewAttack's the place it's all at. With a name like that it's so bad,
ask me where I get my retro games. The answer I give will never change.
It's a magical land named GameAttack. OK it's just a store but it's near Dallas.
The place to be is SGC. If you went down there then you saw me.
I'll never forget the wet konga or the hotel front desk babe named Sonya.
I never did get my kiss of death. But if I go next year I'm sure she'll say yes.
Yeah ScrewAttack is really cool but I ran out of material.
I dont know what else to say about that website so I'll just say go to it
cause it's really cool. Uh right? Was that good? You like my song?
Neo Geo, Neo Geo. Four bright buttons and two joysticks.
Neo Geo, Neo Geo. Cool red cab and a name that sticks.
The guys on RacketBoy are gonna love this one.

A POWERFUL track gallop left no doubt that reigning Melbourne Cup winner Dunaden was on track to snare Saturday's Caulfield Cup, but jockey Craig Williams and trainer Mikel Delzangles kept reality in check after the workout.
Dunaden strode out purposefully over 1400 metres before upping the tempo under a good hold over the final 600 in 35.8 seconds and his final 400 in 23.9 seconds.
The trainer was happy to see the horse moving freely after the stallion suffered a foot abscess earlier in his preparation in France.
"That was good, I am happy with him, but I think we are maybe a week behind because of that foot problem he had in France. He is not 100 per cent cent fit, but he is very close", Delzangles said.
"Craig [Williams] is happy and I am happy. The horse is stronger this year and definitely better this year, but four kilos better [at the handicap]? I don't know."
Williams agreed that Dunaden had returned to Australia stronger and said the horse had improved significantly from a track gallop seven days ago. Williams believes that a favourable barrier is crucial for Dunaden.
"The barrier will determine how confident I will be going into the Caulfield Cup. I'd like to draw a barrier between one and six in the Caulfield Cup and let him take up a forward position," he said.
"He is definitely a lot sharper this year.
''I spent the first 400 metres of today's gallop getting him to settle. Then he got into his rhythm nicely down the back straight and then I asked him to quicken and he ran good time down to the line, it was a nice, solid piece of work.''
Dunaden has not raced beyond 2400 metres in five runs since his Melbourne Cup win but has been extremely effective at that distance with a win in the Hong Kong Vase and three group 2 placings this year.

Thanks for your kind help, Pat. I had the photo named correctly, it just
wasn't showing up. I have switched to cute ftp. Works like a charm, not as
easy as using ftp directly from Frontpage but works well enough. Thanks for
the nice answer to my questions. I have been successful uploading using
ONLY users.freepages.rootweb.ancestry.com. Users.freepages.rootsweb.com was
unable to connect. I'm back up and running-just having to get used to
something new is mildly annoying when I don't have much spare time. Thanks

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you've decided to
see beyond the imperfections.

If the Republican presidential primary is the heavyweight fight in Illinois today, then the intra-party battle between GOP Reps. Don Manzullo and Adam Kinzinger is at the top of the undercard.
The incumbent vs. incumbent race in Illinois' 16th Congressional District is the first of the year to feature two Republicans, and one of more than a dozen made possible because of redistricting.
Also facing primary challenges in Illinois today: Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and Iraq veteran Tammy Duckworth, also a Democrat.
STORY: Romney vs. Santorum in Illinois primary
STORY: Redistricting pits lawmaker vs. lawmaker
The race to watch is between Manzullo, a 10-term veteran, and Kinzinger, one of the GOP freshmen elected in 2010 with Tea Party support.
Kinzinger has the backing of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the No. 2 GOP leader. FreedomWorks, an organization closely aligned with the Tea Party movement, is supporting Manzullo.
"They are trying to out-conservative each other," says Matt Streb, chairman of the political science department at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. "The distinctions they make are silly. Both are conservative on fiscal issues."
Streb, however, notes the Cantor endorsement could be viewed as a sign that Kinzinger is viewed by the GOP establishment as having the brighter future. Manzullo, meanwhile, could have an edge on the ground because more of the new district was in the area that he used to represent.
In other Illinois congressional races:
8th Congressional District: Duckworth, who lost both her legs when the helicopter she was co-piloting was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, faces Democrat Raja Krishnamoorthi. He lost a close race for Illinois comptroller in 2010.
Duckworth left her post in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to make her second run for Congress, and she's been helped by Obama strategist David Axelrod and U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
The two Illinois candidates are among a record number of Asian-American candidates running for Congress this year. The winner in this primary will face freshman Rep. Joe Walsh, considered one of the most vulnerable House Republicans, in the fall.
2nd Congressional District: Jackson, the son of the civil rights leader, is seeking a ninth term, against former representative Debbie Halvorson.
The House Ethics Committee is investigating whether Jackson or one of his representatives raised money for then-Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich in exchange for an appointment to Barack Obama's U.S. Senate seat. Jackson has denied any wrongdoing, and Blagojevich last week reported to prison.
Jackson was leading Halvorson, 59% to 23%, in a recent Lake Research Partners poll. He skipped a debate with his opponent, who served one term in Congress, to attend the funeral of New Jersey Rep. Donald Payne, a former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus.

|the west of England, southern Germany, some Scandinavian forests
|First appearance in canon
|Detention with Dolores (OP)
Bowtruckles are magical creatures that live in trees that are usually used for wands. They dwell in western England, southern Germany and certain Scandinavian forests. They are pixie-like bark-coloured tree-guardians of about eight inches in height. They have knobbly arms and legs, two twiglike fingers on each hand and a barklike face with small beetle-brown eyes; a camouflage that makes them difficult to spot in their natural habitat. Even though they seem harmless, they have got really sharp fingers; many woodcutters often get injured. They feed on insects, especially woodlice and fairy and Doxy eggs (FBAZ, OP13, DH28). Bowtruckles are generally shy and peaceful, but they become aggressive when their tree is in danger. Woodcutters can distract them with an offering of woodlice (FBAZ, OP13).
Bowtruckles in Care of Magical Creatures
Bowtruckles belong to the group of creatures that most commonly show up on Care of Magical Creatures OWLs (OP13). Professor Grubbly-Plank therefore introduces them to her fifth-year Care of Magical Creatures class in their first lesson on Tuesday, September 2, 1995. She shows them a table seemingly laden with twigs and asks who knows what they are called. Predictably, Hermione Granger raises her hand and is mocked by Draco Malfoy for it. Pansy Parkinson breaks into a laugh that turns into a scream when the "twigs" leap into the air. Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown loudly admire them and Grubbly-Plank asks them to keep their voices down. She scatters wood-lice on the table and the creatures immediately start to eat. Hermione correctly identifies them as Bowtruckles and names their favourite food, earning ten points for Gryffindor. Grubbly-Plank holds a short lecture about Bowtruckles and orders the class to examine and draw them in groups of three.
While Hermione and Ron Weasley try to persuade their Bowtruckle to keep still, Harry Potter asks Grubbly-Plank where Hagrid is, but he receives no answer and is taunted by Malfoy. Grabbing the largest Bowtruckle, the Slytherin hints that Hagrid might have been "messing with stuff that's too big for him." Harry anxiously tells Hemione and Ron of Malfoy's remark while they make their drawings. They can overhear Malfoy saying that Hagrid will hopefully be sacked and Harry grips the Bowtruckle so tightly that is almost snaps and lashes at him with its sharp fingers, leaving two gashes on his hand. To the great amusement of Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, it then runs off towards into the Forbidden Forest and leaves Harry with a bloody and unfinished sketch.
Due to his string of detentions with Dolores Umbridge, Harry has no time to complete his homework. On Wednesday, September 3, he he has to devote his lunch hour to the drawing. Grubbly-Plank assigns more homework on Bowtruckles during class in the afternoon. Harry knocks up an essay on the proper treatment of Bowtruckles late that night (OP13).
The fifth-years are still studying Bowtruckles when Umbridge comes to inspect Grubbly-Planks teaching on September 10 (OP15).

In keeping with tradition, I present you with my year-end photo post! But first, part of the tradition is to also share a little bit about the growth of the site in the last year.
It's only been 3 months since @Booooooom launched on Instagram, and there are already close to 14,000 of you following along! I owe a big thank you to the guest posters that have taken over the account each week – thank you, thank you, thank you. Our Twitter and Facebook now have a combined following of over 200,000, which is incredible, but the craziest growth has been on Google+. It's hard to fathom that a year ago we had 300 followers on there, and today there are over 1.9 million. Kinda wild!
A little update on our first-ever Booooooom Book, it's in its final stages, and will be finished really soon. I'm not used to working on a project for so long but it's been a great experience working with Chronicle Books. It's gonna be amazing to finally share it with you all.
I looked back at the goals I mentioned in my previous year-end post and one of them was to have a physical space for Booooooom. Well, I'm excited to say I finally have a space, and I'll share more about it soon.
There's a small part of me that feels extremely satisfied with the incredible growth the site has experienced this year. The other part of me though, the part that makes up most of me, is completely unsatisfied. I was too safe this year, my dreams were all entirely possible. I didn't realise it until now, so I'm dreaming super naive impossible dreams for 2014. These past five years, all of it, it's all still the beginning. It would be really dumb to be satisfied with the beginning.
Here are 50 photos by 50 photographers (technically 52 photographers, two images are collaborations). Not every image here was produced this year, I just came across them all in the last 12 months. Enjoy.
Photos by Matthew Tammaro. More below!

It is a little overwhelming for me to look at how much this place has grown in the last 12 months. Our monthly traffic now tops 3.2 million pageviews with visitors coming from more than 200 different countries. More than 27,000 of you follow Booooooom on Twitter, and our Facebook family has grown to nearly 42,000!
So I want to thank all of you! It was your support for the site that allowed me to bring our Small Victories show to Hong Kong and then follow it up with another show here in Vancouver! It was also your incredible submissions to our Little Drifters project that spread all over the internet like dandelion seeds, inspiring people as far away as Armenia to launch similar projects. The kind of community we have here is rare, I don't see it on any other site. Thanks for spending so much time around here, commenting on articles, getting involved in projects, sharing links on Twitter, and interacting with each other on Facebook! I feel really blessed to call this a job.
This next year I'll be doing my best to continue cultivating a community of creative people (and aliteration). I will continue hunting and gathering art but I also have a few things planned that are bigger than anything I've attempted so far. So I'm a little anxious. It's good to be anxious I think! I hope my successes this year outnumber my failures, but if I don't fail a bunch in 2011 it will mean I didn't try hard enough.
Last year I posted 64 photos by 64 photographers.
This year I've collected 75 photos by 75 photographers that I came across in 2010. These photos weren't necessarily produced this year, I simply encountered them for the first time in the last 12 months.
I'm gonna take a week off and spend Christmas holidays with my family. I'll be back at it first week of January!
Happy New Year you guys! Enjoy the photos!

Everybody who's written or blogged about climate change on a prominent website (or, even worse, spoken about it on YouTube) knows the drill. Shortly after you post, the menagerie of trolls arrives. They're predominantly climate deniers, and they start in immediately arguing over the content and attacking the science—sometimes by slinging insults and even occasional obscenities. To cite a recent example:
What part of "we haven't warmed any in 16 years" don't you understand? Heh. "Cherry-picking" as defined by you alarmists: any time period selected containing data that refutes your hysterical hypothesis. Can be any length of time from 4 billion years to one hour. @!$%# off, little man!

Biomod/2012/Team Sendai Old
From OpenWetWare
Tohoku University
All the creatures on Earth are made of cells. The exterior and the interior of the cell are compartmentalized by biomembranes. A nanodevice that is able to actively transport only the specific oligonucleotide through the biomembrane has a great potential to deliver siRNA into the cell or to extract mRNA expressed in the cell. Here, we decided to create a novel device with such a function. We have designed a cylindrical injector/extractor device made of DNA origami. Inside the cylinder, a cascade of single stranded DNAs is planted. Once the outer-most ssDNA binds to a target oligonucleotide, the target is passed to the inner-ones one by one because of the higher bonding energy assigned to the inner ones. We also investigate how the cylinder penetrates the biomembrane by using liposome as a model membrane.
Selector: Single stranded DNA. Once the outer-most ssDNA binds to a target, the target is passed to the inner-ones one by one. Gate: Cylindrical structure connecting the inside and outside like gates. A cascade of the "Selector" is planted in this. We can use this as an injector or extractor. Membrane: The exterior and the interior of the cell are compartmentalized by biomembranes. We use liposome as a model membrane.
Coming soon
Confirming interaction of Porters and the target
To see if the target is passed to the porter of higher bonding energy by hybridization, and successfully transported between three porters, we did electrophoresis.
>>DNA sequencesへのリンクを
First, we mixed porter 1 and the target for reaction.
Second, we added porter 2, expecting that the target is passed from porter1 to porter2.
Finally, we added porter 3, expecting that the target is passed from porter2 to porter3.
We waited for 15 minutes at each step, for the target attach to a porter of higher bonding energy. The concentration of the target was one-second hat of porters.
When the target is passed well between the porters, from the left, bands of the target hybridizing with Porter1, 2, and 3 should appear.
In the gel, bands are above each Porters.
The result shows that target hybridized with available Porter during 15 minutes, and then it moved to Porter which has higher bonding energy during another 15 minutes. Therefore, this indicates that Porters successfully works as "porter" of the target in the gate.
Comparing effectiveness and efficiency of porter and toehold
We saw that Porters can catch the target more effectively than the toehold structure by the simulation. In addition, we actually confirmed this idea through experiment.
We compared the carrier set of the target as below.
porter1 and porter2
toehold A and toehold B
First, we mixed the target and Porter1. At the same time, we also mixed the target and toehold A.
Second, we added porter2 to the sample of Porter1 and the target. At the same time, we added toehold B to the sample of Toehold B and the target.
We waited for 15 minutes at each step, for the sample to react.
Similar to Interaction of Porters and the target, porter 1 and porter2 attached to the target respectively (figure2: lane6 and 8). Also, the target was passed between porters(lane 7).
As for the toehold structure, the target hybridized with toehold B. On the other hand, in the lane of target and toehold A, the band of the target is still strong (lane 9). So the target didn't hybridized with toehold A. It follows that toehold A cannot catch the target only for 15 minutes, and that the target cannot be delivered between toehold structures.
Therefore, we concluded that porter structure, which has some loops, is more effective and efficient than toehold when they catch the target.
fig.2 Lanes are (1) porter1, (2) porter2, (3) Target, (4) toehold A, (5) toehold B, (6)target and porter1, (7)target and porter1 and 2, (8)target and porter2, (9)target and toehold A, (10)target and toehold A and toehold B, (11) target and Toehold B, (12) 20kb ladder The target was passed between porters(lane 7). But the target didn't attach to toehold A(lane 9) So the target cannot be delivered by toehold structure(lane 10) The gel was 20 % acrylamide. The electrophoresis was for hours at 4 degrees.
Confirming working of Porter in the gate
To confirm working of "Porters" in the gate, we prepared a gate with and without Porters.
We mixed each gate and the target and made four samples.
They are Target and Gate with P1, Target and Gate with P2, Target and Gate with P1 and P2, and Target and Gate without Porter.
We did electrophoresis of them. The results is following.
We successfully confirmed that Porters can also transport the target in the gate.
Making the Gate
We mixed M13mp18 and staples of tube and annealed them. We tried two annealing method. The one is annealing with boiled water, and the other is annealing based on " A Logic-Gated Nanorobot for Targeted Transport of Molecular Payloads". And we did electrophoresis using this sample. This results is following. As a result of the experiment, we got that the Shawn annealing was better than annealing with boiled water.
And the tube structure made on Shawn annealing was observed by AFM. This result is following. This object whose shape is rectangular object may be tube because we consider that the shape of the tube is transformed when it is crushed by cantilever.
Determining the annealing time
Next,we compared the speed of cooling.We tried 20h annealing,(20hアニーリングの条件を書く)40h annealing,(40hアニーリングの条件を書く)and the annealing based on the article proposed by Dr. Shown Douglas [1].For the result, the tube annealed by 20h annealing and 40h annealing could been seen as a band when we did electrophoresis but could not been seen when we observed by AFM.On the other hand,when we observed the tube annealed by the condition based on the article proposed by Dr. Shown Douglas [1] by AFM, we could find some structual object.In general, we considered the best condition of annealing is next;the condition of Mg is 8mM and the speed of cooling is based on the article proposed by Dr.Shown.
Adding cholesterol to the Gate
Next,we tried to create the tube which can be decorated with cholesterol to connect it with liposome. We call this tube "connect-able tube".When we annealed the connect-able tube and did electrophoresis,the band could be seen at the similar position compared with normal tube. For this, we consider the connect-able tube also may be created and we could find many guranular objects when we observed the connect-able tube by AFM.
We purified the annealed Gate.
Because when we do experiment that the target binds porter in the Gate, it is better there are no sufficient staples and porter which is not in the Gate. Our purification is divided into two steps. First, we purified the Gate by using filter(フィルター精製書き方わからない), and do electrophoresis of the Gate. The results is following. Next, we cut band of the Gate and purified by using spincolumn(?). By these steps, we succeeded to remove sufficient staples and porter from the Gate.
Making mini-gate
We prepared a preliminary step to that cell gate insert into the liposome. We designed a smaller tube and attempted to insert into liposomes using it.
Similar to the cell gate, we stretched single-stranded DNA of 10 bases that can be modified cholesterol from the side of this tube.
We attached cholesterol to the single-stranded DNA, and confirmed by electrophoresis.
We expected that these enter into the hydrophobic portion of the liposome. Then, it is likely to that the tube stick to the liposome.
Confirming Gate attaches to the membrane
We use fluorescein to confirm that the tube insert into the liposome.
For example, We put Lucifer Yellow fluorescein into big liposome and made a hole using the α- Hemorijin into liposomes. Then, we observed that fluorescein was flowing out from it. Alpha-hemolysin is toxin which makes a hole in the cell and is often used in experiments liposome system.
The figure shows that fluorescein flowing out from a liposome.
Therefore, we are sure that observing fluorescein would be a confirmatory experiment which our tube stuck to the liposome or not.
The composition of liposome
DOPC 5mM 10μL
DSPE-PEG2000 0.5mM 1μL
Fructose 10mM 50μL
Tube 20μL
Chloroform 70μL(90μL:when Tube is not used )
We dry a sample of that composition, and we add
1×Hoechst 1.25μL
1×2/100mM Lucifer Yellow fluorescein 2.5μL
1×TAE Mg2+ 121.25μL
After that, we observe by a fluorescence microscope.
Making liposome
We examined the appropriate composition of the liposome. And we decided the composition; DOPC:DSPE-PEG2000: Fructose = 100:1:1000. We put this composition of DOPC, DSPE-PEG2000, and Fructose into a glass tube and then, we added chloroform. We dried chloroform in this mixture using argon gas, and we also dried by vacuum equipment. As this picture, we observed liposome. So there seems to be some liposome. </div>

"Californication": a hit criminal download in Michigan
The real estate blog Movoto reports its unscientific study of "torrenting", which is one method of transferring very large data files over the internet. Some people use programs like BitTorrent to spread illegally copied movies and songs, although many users legitimately share photo albums and home DVDs.
Movoto says it found most of the criminal internet torrents in Michigan were of people sharing illegal copies of the TV series "Californication." So were folks in North and South Carolina.
The most popular illegally copied movie to make the data stream in Michigan is "Captain America." That was also number one in four other states, including Wisconsin, next door.
Interestingly, the favorite in Virginia, the bedroom of many of America's political movers and shakers, is "Jackass."
And the most popular illegally copied game download was Watch Dogs, an action-adventure game released in May of this year.
In conducting the study, Movoto said it checked on the available torrent "seeding notes" and that no illegal materials were downloaded to its computers.

WWF WrestleMania
Review by Rick L
"The first! The fun! The...umm....something!!"
This game was one of the first WWF games I played. I didn't really pick the game up until after other good games came out, but I loved it. I had a blast just kind of practicing.
Graphics: 8/10
People, these characters are not underdetailed stick figures!!!! I should smack some of the guys that said that. Anyhow, the graphics are very well done! The characters look like themselves and the animation is alright. Again, the character portraits didn't go over very well, and they just seem to look like black splotches on grey paper. (''Tell me, Rick, who is that?'' ''Umm....my mother?'') In the ring, there are some lacking things, like a crowd. Even if it wasn't very detailed, it would've been nice to see the crowd.
Sound: 8/10
The game seemed to rely heavily on music in this game. Nevertheless, the music is good to listen to, and it doesn't get repetitive all that quick. During the match, it's cool that you get to hear the entrance music to the wrestlers that are in the match. The lack of sound effects in this game is a minus. It would've been cool to hear the crowd cheering if they pulled off a big move like a bodyslam or a leap off the rope.
Gameplay: 6/10
This, in my opinion, is where it lags. The controls are good, but the whole thing feels slow. The wrestlers just don't seem to move fast enough, except when they're running. It feels like it takes forever to turn around from left/right or right/left. It seems that I could leave the game, go make lunch, eat it, come back, and he'd be halfway done turning around. There is a variety of moves in the game, which is a plus, but the only grappling move is the bodyslam, which is a bummer. While it was good, it could've been better.
Replay Value: 5/10
While you're going to tire of this game sometime, you're going to be coming back to it every so-often to play it again. It has that certain charm to it that some old games have. I guarentee you'll be coming back to this game.
Overall: 7/10
One of the better NES wrestling games, and also one of the first to have the WWF license. The game's charm and fun will keep you playing it for a little while. But once you put it down for a while, you will be coming back!
This is the Rick, tellin' you to go play!
Reviewer's Rating: 3.5 - Good

They wore high heels and oh-so-smart suits and carried their snub-nose revolvers in their handbags.
"We were both pretty good shots," says Alice Birdman Maguire, who, along with Joan Reinke Robles, served as Tucson's only two policewomen in the early '50s.
While their police badges proclaimed them as Tucson Police Woman 1 and 2, respectively, the honor of being first actually goes to Nora Nugent, who served from 1929 to 1933.
Maguire and Robles came next — but only after considerable arm-twisting by the League of Women Voters.
"They didn't like the idea of men searching women and children," says Maguire, who was already keeping track of traffic records for the Tucson Police Department.
In early 1952 she easily passed the civil service exam and was on her way for two weeks of training at the police academy in Los Angeles. "They taught us judo and shooting," says Maguire, who returned just in time to meet Robles, her new partner.
"My nose was out of joint," Maguire admits. "I thought I was the big thing. Now they had a second one. But we became good and fast friends."
Unlike Maguire, Robles had just been passing through on her way from Minneapolis to San Francisco.
"I was having such a good time I decided to stay," says Robles, who escaped a "boring" receptionist job here in Tucson for one that would prove to be considerably more exciting.
And, yes, some of the male police officers were not too happy about females in their midst. "They thought we were spies for the chief," says Robles.
Starting salary was $276 a month. As for their uniforms, "we wore suits and heels and shoulder bags with a nice holster for the gun," says Robles.
"The chief was always after us to get uniforms," says Maguire. "Hymie Myerson, at Myerson's White House, ordered all the uniforms. We said we didn't want to wear them. He said, 'OK, I'll keep telling the chief I ordered them and they haven't come in.'"
Given little direction as to what they should do, the women patrolled in an unmarked car, checking on bars, bus stations and theaters.
Their first day on the job, they wandered into the balcony of what was then called the Paramount theater, where they discovered a man sitting with a rifle on his lap.
"One of us tapped him on the shoulder and asked him to follow us downstairs. He said, 'OK,' " says Maguire. "I was walking down the stairs. He had the rifle in his hands behind me. We couldn't have been more naive."
After backup arrived, they discovered the rifle was loaded — and its owner had escaped a mental institution.
The majority of their calls, however, were of a more routine — and serious — nature, working with abused women, juveniles and sex crimes.
Once, they posed as the wives or girlfriends of detectives during a drug bust. Another time, Maguire served as a decoy, posing as a coed whose sorority house had been getting harassing calls.
She got her man.
Most of the time, the women worked the night shift. "We would get so bored I'd bring my ukulele to work. Alice drove and I played," says Robles.
"We were attached to the detectives' bureau and used their car," says Maguire. "One time they complained that the car smelled of perfume. So we bought the cheapest perfume we could buy and sprayed the whole interior."
Yes, of course their male cohorts got even. "They rubbed Limburger cheese on the hot engine block," says Maguire.
Only once did Maguire pull out a gun. "I was on a domestic-violence call. The man sat there and pulled out a knife. I opened my purse and eased my gun out so he could see it. He put the knife away."
By then Robles had gone to San Francisco, leaving Tucson in early 1953 after about a year on the job. Maguire soldiered on for a few more months — this time with a male partner. "He was a wonderful person," she says.
Married and with her second child on the way, Maguire took a leave of absence in September of '53, seven months into her pregnancy.
But when she tried to return, "the chief told me he did not want me to come back and that I'd be on permanent graveyard."
Twenty years would pass before Tucson would get its next policewoman, in 1973. Today the force numbers 859 male officers and 149 female officers.
Robles returned to Tucson in 1967 and married lawman George Robles the following year. Maguire left Tucson in 1958 and now lives in the wine country north of San Francisco.
Still fast friends, the women see each other a couple of times a year.
And while they now look back at their time at TPD with amusement, both recognize the inherent dangers of the job.
Says Maguire: "I do know that one of the L.A. policewomen who graduated from the academy with me was shot and killed the week after we graduated."

TribLIVE.com story
Hero & Leander (Tapete)
Having earned comparisons to indie icons like Belle & Sebastian, the xx and Arcade Fire, British sextet Hero & Leander makes quite a first impression on debut full-length "Tumble." With Emily Sills and Gary Cansell working the boy-girl singing dynamic to perfection, H&L serves up a catchy collection of 11 tunes. Just about every song works, with "Collider," "Kiss Me By the Water Cooler," "Everything Will Be," "One Three Four" and "Here Comes the Sun" (no relation to the Beatles tune of the same name) the cream of the crop. This is a band on the rise.
'The Mountain Moves'
Treetop Flyers (Partisan)
Even though newcomers the Treetop Flyers hail from England, the quintet owes a debt of gratitude to the Laurel Canyon country rock sound that emanated from Southern California in the late 1960s. "The Mountain Moves" is a terrific debut album that finds frontman Reid Morrison and his mates justifying their inclusion in the Partisan Records stable of artists. Opener "Things Will Change" sets the mellow vibe, and Treetop Flyers additionally soar on "Waiting on You," "Rose Is in the Yard," "Haunted House" and "Storm Will Pass." Highly recommended.
'The Hidden World Revealed'
The Three O'Clock (Omnivore)
You'd be hard-pressed to launch a career with a pair of albums as uniformly excellent as 1983's "Sixteen Tambourines" and 1985's "Arrive Without Travelling," but that was how the world got to know psychedelic garage rockers the Three O'Clock. Lineup changes and some sub-par albums followed and, by 1988, the band had called it quits. Original members Michael Quercio, Louis Gutierrez and Danny Benair have cobbled together some of The Three O'Clock's earliest recordings for "The Hidden World Revealed," a 20-track gathering of rarities and unreleased songs that serves to remind just how talented this band was. Among the many highlights are "All in Good Time," "Stupid Einstein," "Jet Fighter," "Sound Surround," "On My Own," "Seeing Is Believing" and a fantastic cover of the Byrds' "Feel a Whole Lot Better."
'American Ride'
Willie Nile (Bloodshot)
Though he's carved out a respectable career, it's easy to wonder "what might have been" for singer/songwriter Willie Nile. After showing tremendous promise with his first two albums (1980's self-titled effort and 1981's "Golden Down"), Nile became embroiled in disputes with his label and walked away. It would be a decade before Nile hit the studio again. Since then, Nile has churned out mostly excellent albums every few years and "American Ride" ranks among his most enjoyable. With keepers "This Is Our Time," "Life on Bleecker Street," "She's Got My Heart," "Say Hey" and "There's No Place Like Home," the 64-year-old Nile still has plenty of gas left in the tank.
'By the Lamplight'
Larry and His Flask (Cascadian)
★★★★ ½
My first exposure to the intoxicating country punk of Larry and His Flask came with last October's release of the "Hobo's Lament" EP. The six-piece has risen even higher in my esteem after spinning sophomore full-length "By the Lamplight" pretty much non-stop for the past month. Striking the perfect balance between a hoedown and a mosh pit, Larry and His Flask deliver a winner in this 12-track gem. You won't find a clunker in the bunch, though the guys soar highest on "Out of Print," "Barleywine Bump," "Log, Hearth and Ash," "Home of the Slave," "Cruel Twist of Fate" and "All That We've Seen." Track down a copy of this one. You won't regret it.
'Chasing Ghosts'
Morning Fuzz (self-released)
Big Apple's Morning Fuzz has generated some buzz with a pair of solid EPs and makes its full-length debut with the solid "Chasing Ghosts." There are some nice moments on the 10-track release — most notably "Ready to Go," "Pizza and Bullets," "Summer Camp" and "Look at Me Now" — but the album falls short of must-have status. With a bit more seasoning, Morning Fuzz might have a terrific platter in it yet.
'Love Casualty'
Night Club (Gato Blanco)
Back in March, synth-pop duo Night Club introduced itself via a self-titled EP. It was a dancetastic gathering of five tunes and vocalist Emily Kavanaugh and DJ/producer Mark Brooks are back for more with a new EP, "Love Casualty," that's almost as good. Opener "Don't Wanna Love You Forever" is the clear-cut highlight, and Night Club also delivers on "Give Yourself Up" and "Precious Thing." "Poisonous" and "Strobe Light" aren't as effective, but Kavanaugh and Brooks are on to something special.
'Jay Arner'
Jay Arner (Mint)
Vancouver, British Columbia native Jay Arner is a musical jack-of-all-trades who has played with a handful of bands, remixed the music of a few more and now steps out of his relative anonymity with a self-titled debut album. This 10-track collection of indie pop is a fun gathering of tunes made all the more impressive by the fact that Arner wrote, performed, recorded and mixed every note himself. Lead single "Midnight on South Granville" is the standout, but Arner also impresses on "Broken Glass," "Sacrifice," "Don't Remind Me" and "Wildest One."
'Water Tiger'
Frank Lenz (Velvet Blue)
Frank Lenz earned his stripes as a drummer for bands like Pedro the Lion, Starfler 59, the Weepies and Everest and he dabbles in ambient rock on the almost entirely instrumental new album "Water Tiger." It's an intriguing sonic experiment, albeit one that grows a little tiresome over the course of almost 50 minutes. Songs like "Complex Miles and His Undersea Adventure," "Pentasynth," "Oh Key Dough Key," "Hey Be Us Corps Us" and "Debts Lance" are pretty good, though it's a record best absorbed in smaller doses.
'Bull Goose Rooster'
Watermelon Slim & the Workers (Northern Blues)
Though he started life as Bill Homans, the Boston-born, North Carolina-bred bluesman is best known in music circles as Watermelon Slim. He and his Workers backing band can be counted on to deliver a sizzling album every few years and "Bull Goose Rooster," like "Ringers," "Escape From the Chicken Coop" and "The Wheel Man" before it, is no exception. From the opening notes of "Tomorrow Night" to the final strains of "Words Are Coming to an End," Watermelon Slim hits every note. Other standouts on the 16-track LP include the title track, "I'm a King Bee," "Prison Walls," "I Ain't Whistling Dixie," "The Wobble" and "The Foreign Policy Blues." Enjoy, y'all.
'Little Lonely'
Little Lonely (self-released)
★★★ ★½
It's time you make room in your iPod for Juli Cain — aka Little Lonely — whose self-titled debut album is one of the best indie folk releases thus far in 2013. The Missouri native has a delightfully twangy voice and she puts it to good use throughout the 11-track release. Though you won't be able to find a misfire on the album, Little Lonely shine brightest on "Penny's First Available," "Carnival King," "The First Time You Left Me," "Jesus in My Swimming Pool," "Little Lonely's Lament" and "Buttonwillow." This one is a must, folks.
'The Sun Dogs'
Rose Windows (Sub Pop)
★★★ ★
There's an old-school approach to the psychedelic rock of Seattle-based newcomer Rose Windows, which is sure to turn the heads of longtime Black Sabbath fans on its expansive, ambitious debut. "The Sun Dogs" is a sprawling nine-track platter clocking in at 49 minutes, as Rose Windows takes time to let each song unwind at its own pace. "The Sun Dogs I: Spirit Modules" is the ideal lid-lifter, and Rose Windows delivers the goods on "Walkin' With a Woman," "Seasons of Serpents," "This Shroud" and "The Sun Dogs II: Coda." Probably best enjoyed when under the influence of, uh, glaucoma medication, "The Sun Dogs" is a winner.
'Parts of Speech'
Dessa (Doomtree)
You might know Dessa as the lone female emcee in Minneapolis indie rap collective Doomtree, but her solo work has eclipsed her efforts in that buzzed-about outfit. Latest album "Parts of Speech" is her most personal song cycle to date and that introspective approach pays off in spades. The one-two punch of "The Man I Knew" and "Call Off Your Ghost" are flat-out terrific, and though she can't maintain that pace, Dessa delivers on "Skeleton key," "Dear Marie," "The Lamb," "Beekeeper" and "It's Only Me."
Hausu (Hardly Art)
It's fitting that indie rock newcomer Hausu is about to embark on a tour filled with all-ages shows because not every member of the four-piece is old enough to buy beer. Promising debut full-length "Total" has generated some deserved buzz for a band that, with a bit more seasoning, could turn out to be something special. There are flashes on the 10-track debut, most notably lead single "Chrysanthemum," "1991-2091," "Recovery" and "Kool Off," but a few inconsistent tunes prevent it from being an essential release. Keep your eye on Hausa.
Montag (Carpark)
Not to be confused with reality TV "personality" (and wannabe pop singer) Heidi Montag, Montag is the nom de plume of Montreal electronic musician Antoine Bedard. "Phases" marks the culmination of his ambitious 2012 in which Bedard wrote and released a digital single every month of the year. The 12 tunes have been gathered together to form a surprisingly cohesive and effective album that should raise Montag's profile considerably. "Trip the Light Fantastic" is the best of the bunch, but Bedard also scores with "Next Life," "New Found Land," "There Is a Voice," "Phares" and "The Last Call."
'Every Man Should Know'
Harry Connick Jr. (Columbia)
It's been a busy year for Harry Connick Jr. In February, the soon-to-be 46-year-old crooner released "Smokey Mary" to mark the 20th anniversary of Krewe of Orpheus, a Mardi Gras parade in his native New Orleans that he co-founded. He's back already with "Every Man Should Know," a personal collection of 12 originals that Connick said finds him diving deeper "into my inhibition pool" than ever before. There's a mellow groove to the album and Connick gets a boost from pals Branford and Wynton Marsalis on standouts "Let Me Stay" and "Being Alone," respectively. Other keepers include the title track, "Love My Life Away" and country-leaning closer "Time to Go."
'The Best of Merry Clayton'
Merry Clayton (Ode/Legacy)
Though Merry Clayton's most enduring musical legacy is her work as a backup singer for the Rolling Stones ("Gimme Shelter"), Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, Joe Cocker and the Supremes, she experienced some success as a solo performer in the early 1970s. "The Best of Merry Clayton" is her first compilation album and includes her five charting singles and 11 album tracks among its 17 cover tunes. Clayton adds new life to familiar hits like "Southern Man" (Neil Young), "Country Road" (James Taylor), "Grandma's Hands" (Bill Withers), "Suspicious Minds" (Presley), "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (Simon & Garfunkel) and "A Song for You" (Leon Russell). Wow.

what's the girls name?
Quando passei por isso, eu ainda era quase uma menina, tinha só 17 anos. E meu patrão era um cara arrojado! Cheguei a ver até estrelinhas... mas suportei tudo e ainda me transformei na melhor amante dele.
nnothing beats a tight young white butt being ravaged.
i wna try anal with a girl so bad
What an incompetent idiot. Lube and patience are the key to anal sex, when you do it right, she'll be back for more
I remember my first anal. Hurt as hell, and actually a lot of blood came out, but then I found out that my boyfriend was just being incompetent. Anal is great.
Pensa que dar o cú é fácil?!? Se fosse com meu ex patrão não tinha essa moleza não! Tinha que sentar, levantar as pernas e "pedalar". Ou era tudo ou nada! Mas que era gostoso... isso era!!!
Guys name?
Eu adoro louras, asiáticas, morenas, negras, mulatas, indias, ... mulheres.......
i love to try anal with an girl
Poor girl has to take a monster kielbasa the first time. She should have gotten broken in with my little thing. Love the tan lines--reminds me of 1960's Playmates.
Gosh her tan line!!
I first tried anal when i was 14, absolutely loved it, he did it rough ;)
want to exchange photos my email is: markocroatia@hotmail. com
I remember the first time I fuck a girl in the ass while in Peru. It was by accident but she didn't say, stop
she is so tight and hot..
very cuuu !
she's brasilian! gostosa!
Miss my ex, she was a real anal whore. It's great but pussy is so much better
I am not sure if i ever would. Would rather not hurt the girl. Unless she has gone through the 'first time' thing already.
Technical problem!
