text: Hey all, have a quick question. I've had my 2008 S3 for a few months now, quite happy with it. After owing several jap cars, I always very careful with taking the time to let the car warm up. As a consequence I do the exact same with my S3. I have however noticed that my car takes quite some time to get up to temperature, it can take up to 8 miles / 10-15 minutes (dependant on how bad the traffic is) to get up to the 90 degree mark. Is this generally the case for other owners? Once up to temp, it stays there and there are no other issues that I can tell. Its just that I've never owned a car that takes so long to get to temperature, if any other owners could confirm if this is normal, I'd be much appreciated. Regards

3 Ways In Which the Massachusetts Senate Candidates Are Hugely Different
Click the image to share on Facebook.
Democratic Congressman Ed Markey and Republican private equity executive Gabriel Gomez are running to become the next U.S. Senator from Massachusetts.
The special election will be held on Tuesday, June 25, and June 5 is the last day to register to vote.
In local and national news, the coverage of the race has focused on the "horse race" and various things the two candidates have said – not so much on policy. But on issues affecting working families, there's are huge differences between Markey and Gomez that we wish were making bigger headlines.
1.) Retirement. As a member of Congress, Ed Markey has been a longtime defender of Social Security. When both Republicans and Democrats were considering a plan to change the formula used to determine Social Security benefits to "chained CPI," Markey opposed it.
"Chained CPI" (CPI stands for "consumer price index") assumes that when prices go up, consumers will choose a less expensive product. This formula results in a lower "cost of living" estimate because it assumes people need less; using this formula to calculate Social Security is equivalent to a benefit cut.
Markey has said that CPI really stands for "cutting people's income."
Republican Gabriel Gomez, on the other hand, supports the "chained CPI" benefit cut, which he announced at an April 10 debate. As the AARP points out, if the government makes this switch for both Social Security and veterans benefits, current and future seniors veterans could lose $146 billion in benefits over 10 years.
2.) Wall Street. Ed Markey voted for the groundbreaking Wall Street reform bill, which ends some of the worst abuses of big banks and corporations (those same banks have since fought tooth and nail to weaken the reform). He also opposes Republican plans that would increase tax incentives for companies that ship jobs overseas.
Gabriel Gomez, who made his fortune as a private equity executive, has relied heavily on the support of Wall Street and the financial services industry in his run for office. Individuals working in finance have given Gomez's campaign $278,000, 52 percent of his total campaign contributions. Bain Capital employees have given Gomez more than $12,000.
Not surprisingly, Gomez's policy positions closely mirror that of the financial industry. He said that "onerous taxes" and "excessive regulation" are obstacles to job growth. He opposes raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans, and has attacked the Wall Street reform law.
3.) Health Care. The candidates differ starkly on the issue of Medicare. Ed Markey opposes cuts to Medicare, while Gabriel Gomez has said he favors raising the Medicare eligibility age. On his website and in his public statements, Gomez refers to Medicare as an "entitlement," not as a guaranteed benefit.
Gomez hasn't said at what age seniors should be eligible for Medicare, but a popular proposal would raise the eligibility age from 65 to 67. According to Roosevelt Institute fellow Matt Stoller, that would mean that 5 million 65 and 66 year olds would not be able to get Medicare coverage for at least a year, and 7 million would not be eligible for at least a month. Even with Obamacare fully implemented and every state accepting Medicaid expansion, this policy change would leave at least 200,000 seniors without health insurance, primarily those on the lower end of the economic spectrum. Those seniors would be denied the earned benefit that they paid for over the course of their lives.
Remember, the special election is on Tuesday, June 25, and the last day to register to vote in this election is Wednesday, June 5. If you live in Massachusetts or know someone who does, please share these three crucial pieces of information about where Markey and Gomez stand.

"Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Rays, Pulsars, and Supernovae"
The origin of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs, particles arriving on the Earth with energy 10^17- 10^21 eV) is still a mystery. Candidate sources range from the birth of pulsars to explosions related to long-duration gamma-ray bursts or to events in active galactic nuclei. Young isolated millisecond pulsars have been scarcely discussed as sources of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECR) in the literature. However, the production of UHECRs in these objects could give a picture that is surprisingly consistent with the latest data measured with the Auger Observatory. I will discuss this original source scenario, and its observable signatures. In particular, these pulsars would be born in supernovae that could present interesting specific radiative features, due to the interaction of the pulsar wind with the surrounding ejecta. The resulting supernova lightcurves could present a high luminosity plateau over a few years, and a bright X-ray and gamma-ray peak around one or two years after the onset of the explosion. If such signatures were observed, they could have important implications both for UHECR astrophysics and for the understanding of core-collapse supernovae.

Well, I hoped that there would be more character development by now. What ever happened to Veronicas marriage? No more trouble? Not very convincing. Why is Carl so evil? This needs explaining. I liked the opening scene, hilarious.
The scene at the pool where Jack just stands there and says "Interesting." was just ridiculous! No meaning in there. The main case was quite interesting, but then again there were hardly any other patients, which I think is kind of unrealistic.
I didn't like the ending, because I'm not sure where the writers want to go with that. Do they want to show us, that yes, he is a man and behaves like one (having a one night stand with a patients daughter is somewhat unprofessional though)? Why would he do that? Just because she is pretty and intelligent and the daughter of his famous author?
I gave this episode a 7 anyway and that is mainly because I loved the scenes with Jack and Nora and the developing friendship between Jack and Veronica. They are absolutely great together. I could hardly help laughing out aloud when they compare their mornings after the sleepless night (bikeride vs. nap, cereal and hot shower) and him saying "You live an exiting life". That was just great!
I will definitely give it another shot!

Removing a Thorn
Dogs like most other outdoor animals are susceptible to thorn, sticks and nail stabs on their paws. The pain is as real albeit the dog might try to keep strong. The first sign you will notice is of course a limping. Depending on the size of the thorn or extent and point of penetration on the paw, the dog will express pain differently. In extreme cases, the canine won't manage to walk on that foot and will be seen hoping on threes.
The first option you have is to try and remove the thorn at home. If not that, you can take the pet to the nearby vet. You need to know at what point you cannot handle the task and refer it to the vet for instance when the thorn is too deep in to the skin or when it's so painful and quite apparent that the canine does not want anyone touching the paw.
In most cases though, the dog will also be willing to sit still as you try to remove the foreign object. Ask a friend to hold her as you examine the paw. Use a torch to try and see the extent of penetration and the general condition of the paw. Wipe the paw gently with a moist swab. In as much as the pet is also willing that the pain is removed, the word gentle here cannot be overemphasized.
If you notice that thorn stub is protruding the skin, use clean tweezers to pull the thorn out. Ensure that you first get a tight grip without exerting pressure on the paw. Pull out quickly. Pulling out fast will be quite painful for the pet, but it's helpful.
But incase you are unable to remove the thorn; it is advisable you take the pet to the vet. Some surgical removal, antiseptic and bandage might be necessary.

Council congratulated for finances though stuck in the past
Hamilton Council congratulated for finances though stuck in the past
Though the Employers and Manufacturers Association has congratulated the Hamilton Council for outperforming its financial targets and getting its finances back into shape, it also said the Council seems to think it is still operating under the former Local Government Act.
At today's Council hearings on its Annual Plan EMA's Peter Atkinson advised the council it has a rare opportunity to change over its rating system to one based on capital value.
"Hamilton Council's goal to balance its books by 2017 looks achievable, and we warmly congratulate the council on this," Peter Atkinson told the Council hearings today.
"Saving $15 million this year and keeping debt down is a creditable achievement," he said.
"But the 3.8 per cent increase in rates proposed is too high.
"While we strongly support the Council's plan to review its rating system there appears no willingness to remove the business differential.
"Such a change would result in a fairer and more efficient rating system by aligning rates more closely with the benefits that ratepayers receive, and also with how other councils finance their activities.
"In not giving this due consideration the Council seems to be operating under the old Local Government Act.
"The role of local government used to be to achieve the 'social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing of the community' but these words were replaced in the 2012 Act by the words: 'to meet the current and future needs of communities for good-quality local infrastructure, local public services, and performance of regulatory functions in a way that is most cost-effective for households and businesses.'
"Using rates differentials previously was said to be to help achieve a fair and equitable distribution in the general rate between categories of land having regard to matters of 'social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing of the community,' but this is no longer the basis for setting rates.
"Since this is the case, the existing Hamilton business rates differential policy must also be called into question. A re-think is required.
"EMA also supports Council introducing a Uniform Annual General Charge in the interests of its residents and ratepayers.
"Council's response in the Plan to its
'unsustainable' debt levels which we support, includes
the following:
· Return to surplus by 2017
Limit debt levels to about the same level for the next 10
· Cut operating budgets by $11.7 million and reduce staff numbers
· Increase some user charges to bring in an extra $3.5 million per year
· Sell some assets and review others for possible sale.
"In our prescription these steps should be followed by
moves phased over several years including:
· A capital value system of rating
· Reduced business differentials
· Introducing a Uniform Annual General Charge
· Water by metering
· Sewerage by volumetric measurement."

Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 0 votes Yes, technically they are correct. However, the case isn't that there aren't any Shiny sprites coded, but rather the fact that the game is coded to never allow a Shiny Zekrom, Reshiram, Xerneas and Yveltal to appear (other non-event legendaries from Gens 5 and 6 can be found Shiny). If they didn't have Shiny sprites coded, then if Nintendo ever wanted to release a Shiny version of those Pokemon through the use of an event, there would be no Shiny sprite for the game to work with.

What:Savages premiere (The movie hits theaters July 6)
When: Monday night
Where: Regency Village Theatre, Westwood
Guest list:Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively, John Travolta, Benicio Del Toro, Salma Hayek, Emile Hirsch, Demián Bichir, Sandra Echeverría, Diego Cataño, Joaquín Cosio, Jake McLaughlin, Joel David Moore, Leonard Roberts, Antonio Jaramillo, Ali Wong and screenwriter/director Oliver Stone. Also spotted: Nikki Blonsky, Connie Britton and Mary-Louise Parker.
Travolta's new role: In the film, Kitsch and Aaron Johnson play Laguna Beach pot growers who face off with a Mexican cartel (led by Salma Hayek) when their shared girlfriend (Blake Lively) is kidnapped. Travolta switches gears in the ferocious thriller playing a dirty-dealing FBI agent. On a day when a new lawsuit was filed against Travolta for sexual misconduct, he attended with his wife, Kelly Preston. The two kissed for cameras but bypassed press, walking quickly into the theater.
Director's cut: Stone commented on the much buzzed-about threesome that takes place between Lively, Kitsch and Johnson's characters. "Sexual scenes were done because…she loves them equally," said Stone. "And part of the movie is about whether there can be such a thing as a three-way relationship, two men and a woman," the director said. Lively wasn't sure how the steamy arrangement would work out in real life. "I don't know. I think it sounds pretty complicated," she said, "but that was the challenge for us in the movie to say, how could this relationship work? How do we alter their back story to make it believable?"
John Travolta, who plays a dirty-dealing FBI agent in the film, kisses Kelly Preston on the red carpet.
Plot notes:Savages is brutal trip to the drug-infused dark side. "This is a suspense movie, it isn't really about legalization or prohibition," said Stone . "These (movies) don't get made anymore," Kitsch told reporters. "It's like Goodfellas meets a Pulp Fiction and then some, with Oliver's touch on it."
Women on top: Women rule the pot-laced roost in Savages, with Hayek playing the unshakable drug lord Elena, and Lively playing O, the object of both Kitsch and Johnson's affection. Hayek called the film, "violent, which I'm not so happy about…but at the same time it's strange because it's so beautiful." Plus, "It's a film where women have a lot of power, and that's cool too," she said. "Normally, it's men in those positions."
New experiences abound: It wasn't only Travolta that tried out a fresh character in the drama-soaked film. Bichir moved on from his Oscar-nominated role in A Better Life to become a deal-making member of Hayek's cartel. "Unfortunately, he makes the wrong decisions," Bichir said. Kitsch traded in his action hero personas cultivated in John Carter and Battleship to become Stone's damaged, violent, scheming ex-Marine. "It differentiates myself from any role I've ever done, to be honest," said Kitsch. "I think that's the beauty of (acting)…taking huge risks and working with the best."
Lively talks kidnapping: In Savages, Lively's charcter is kidnapped and subjected to repeated cruelty. "Oliver introduced us to a lot of people in the cannabis community and DEAs and ex-cartel members" to prepare, said Lively. "I met with a young girl who'd been kidnapped by the cartel. (Stone) provided us with such an insight to that world and then we all just sat and rehearsed a lot." The director said his cast was a perfect balance. "It's a fun film for me, fresh," Stone said. "I worked with three young people who I didn't know before and three veterans who I deeply admired and wanted to be in the movie."
Stone's serious set: The cast agreed that Stone ran a tight ship on set, "Anyone who can hold you accountable the way he does, and the way he comes at you with his process, I love it," said Kitsch. "He expects you to be on your toes," said Del Toro, who plays a henchman for the drug cartel. "You better be focused (and) prepared. It makes it a pleasure to work with him." Lively agreed. "He's always throwing curveballs at you. It's a very intense environment. He knows what an honor it is to be able to work with him so he expects us to be up to your best abilities."
Fashion notes: Hayek glittered in a green Gucci gown and matching emerald jewels, while Lively wore an equally dramatic geometric black and cream Zuhair Murad gown.

I have had some interesting correspondence finding its way into my mailbox in the last few weeks. Each one of the half-dozen letters has been addressed directly to me using one of my many, frequently employed aliases: "Friend At."
Because I figured that anyone who knew me well enough to call me "Friend" would never be hooked up with some cheesy, low-budget, direct-mail scheme, I opened each of the letters promptly.
"It's a lucky thing I've been able to reach you!" began the first installment. "I have some important psychic information to share with you!" As I read down through the letter I quickly recognized this was indeed the work of a true clairvoyant. It was so eerie. It was as if this "Dear Friend" knew everything about me. She knew, for instance, that I was one of those rare individuals who has concerns about "love, money or career." Somehow she knew that I'm the type of person who might enjoy winning a sum of "$103,000 and possibly up to $342,596.50!" ("Two numbers," she wrote, "that keep popping into my head!")
My clairvoyant friend even knew that I had experienced a loss of some type over the past two years, but was apparently receiving a somewhat fuzzy message on this: "I can feel your sense of loss at the passing of a close or, perhaps, somewhat distant acquaintance, or a beloved pet or, perhaps, the beloved pet of a close or, perhaps, somewhat distant acquaintance." (How could she possibly have known about the tragic passing of my niece Christy's goldfish this past summer?)
I could hardly believe it! This obviously gifted, professional clairvoyant from "Psychic Pals Inc.," was striking with napalm-like precision at the very root-ball of my soul! And to think that she had somehow connected with me by simply reading my address off of some cut-rate, endlessly-resold mailing list! (The Bureau of Motor Vehicles perhaps?) Subsequent mailings contained more striking revelations such as; "You may have a secret admirer!" And, "I have a strong feeling that someone may be talking behind your back!"
I began to feel compelled to sit down and write my psychic friend, just to let her know how deeply moved I was by the fact that she could uncover so many details of my obscenely complex personal being without even knowing my name. But alas, there was no return address to be found amongst all of the, "Call now for your Psychic Reading," reminder cards. How could I, a mere mortal, even imagine speaking to such a gifted omniscient? Besides, shouldn't my Psychic Pal, after having sensed my deep concerns over love and money, easily understand that my love OF money actually precluded me from spending any of it to speak with her. Surely this wise one was somehow missing out on one of the most basic tenets of my personality. I decided to send her a strong mental message in hopes that she would be compelled to divert her powers away from this ceaseless concentration on a bum like me, and use them for the betterment of all mankind.
I thought it best to package my message as a poem so that it might find its way through the thousands of rambling, disconnected thoughts which must radiate from my mind to hers on any given day. Here it is:
Please read my mind just one last time.
You'll never hear my lips!
My meager woes just waste your time.
Go save some sinking ships!
We'll see if she gets the message.

Shop chartreuse sweaters on sale: J.Crew (free ship on everything), Madewell, and another Madewell
Chartreuse has become one of my favorite colors over the years. It's similar to classic mustard yellow, but has twinges of green and neon, making it very current. At first I didn't know what to do with two chartreuse sweaters, but soon realized how fun they were doubled up. There's something I love about layering pieces in same exact shade (see it here with emerald green) - It's like mom's favorite twinset, reinvented.
I've received some questions from readers on how to pair brighter or fluorescent yellow. If the color has a true fluorescent tint, I'd suggest toning it down with neutrals (taupe, white, camel, browns), or going full-on bold with a complementing print. If it's just a brighter yellow, I'd experiment with earthy pairings like deep red, olive, and leopard print. Here are some past outfits incorporating my favorite color (click images to visit post):
I had the hardest time styling these ankle boots with colored tights, but was inspired by a page out of a J.Crew catalog showing heathered-gray tights and cognac booties. I think this combo works nicely, as long as the rest of the outfit isn't too busy. I kept my blouse, skirt, and bag in the same monochromatic scheme as the booties, to not battle the bright yellow or heathered pattern.
This was actually the last outfit in my "style in a suitcase" series, but I forgot to snap photos while in California. I happily re-wore it on a mild weekend here in Boston.

Jesse Spikes
No, enthralling news on the home front. But the name Jesse Spikes has been coming up a lot on the news front recently. Who is Jesse Spikes? "He grew up in Henry County [, Georgia], the 13th child of a sharecropper. A special program for underprivileged kids allowed him to go to high school in Hanover, N.H. Later, he graduated magna cum laude from Dartmouth College (also in Hanover), then earned a post-graduate degree at Oxford [as a Rhodes Scholar], finally finishing with a law degree from Harvard."
He's running for Mayor of Atlanta as the outsider candidate who has never held office. Spikes looks to be an underdog. He only raised $44,280 in the last three months, which is less than all the other candidates including the frontrunner who raised more than $500,000 in the past three months. See his website, http://www.jessespikesformayor.com
More background on Spikes, donated to Dartmouth for at least the past 20 years, was profiled in the 1993 book Blacks in the White Establishment, studied English Lit, and ran track.
So if you want someone who makes Dartmouth proud, then Spikes is your guy.

Very friendly service: Volendam Cruise Review by MIT72
Overall Member Rating
Very friendly service
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Vancouver
The boarding process was very easy and efficient with no waiting. We arrived near the beginning of the boarding time and had immediate access to our cabins.
We had filled out the forms on our special needs prior to departure. The gallon of distilled water for our CPAP machines was in our stateroom, but the "pak and play" baby bed was not in our son, daughter-in-law and grandbaby's room. The error was quickly fixed.
Our cabin was very comfortable with a large amount of storage space. The bathroom was very nice, with a tub. There was plenty of room to shower and no problems with water escaping from the shower. We always had lots of hot water.
The staff in both the formal dining room and in the Lido were very friendly and worked hard to accommodate the baby and keep her entertained. Our grand daughter More loved some of the soups and one night we ordered a second bowl just for her.
The main courses at dinner were excellent. The desserts were not as good as the main courses.
The only problems we had on board were:
1) That our room was too cold even when the heat was left on the hottest setting. A person was quickly sent to our room when we complained.
2) The toilet clogged up one evening. A plumber was sent to correct the dire situation within 40 minutes.
3) The same evening was the blocked toilet, we received a phone call at 10:30 PM after we had gone to sleep asking us if we would switch cabins the next day (during the sailing in Glacier Bay to allow the wall paper to be changed). My husband thought that the request was a joke, but they were serious. When I explained out out-of-line and inappropriate the request was both in terms of time of night and that we did not wanted to stay next door to our grandbaby, they made amends by giving us a free dinner and nice bottle of wine at the extra charge restaurant.
The gym was very nice and I used it every morning except the last one.
The evening show was mediocre with dull material. The choreography was poor and one of the two female dancers was rather hefty. When a couple got up to walk out on the juggler, he ridculed them even when they tried to sneak out further to the back. I had been yawning and thought he might criticize me for that! Less

Cabin review: FF1958 Large Ocean-View Stateroom
Our room was very quiet. We didn't hear the baby next door. There were many other children in the immediate area and we didn't hear them either. The bathroom was well designed with a very good shower in the tub. The room was comfortable with a good sitting area. The window was not very clean and was not clean at the beginning of the cruise and was never cleaned during the cruise.Read All Large Ocean-View Stateroom (FF) Reviews >>

While his ageing father waits to die on the hard tile floor, and the tears trickle down his tired mother's face, the lounge room of Amrozi's house looks a long way from a terrorist hideout.
The neighbours come to sit and support the family they have known all their lives. They can offer nothing more. No one here has an explanation why Amrozi might have helped slaughter nearly 200 people.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe he could be involved in criminal things," said his mother, Tariyem, as she sat cross-legged on her floor, politely greeting the stream of visitors searching for an explanation why. There's more than just a mother's natural defence of her son in this tiny, hard-baked, corn-growing town six kilometres from Java's north coast.
Right across the street from Amrozi's simple house lives 23-year-old Kohlifah, who is adamant the man who was a regular visitor to her home could not be involved in such a crime.
He was a friendly person who spent time caring for his incurably ill father and often had friends around to their simple house where he worked in a large shed next door. "He likes to joke . . . I have never heard him talking about religion, I never heard him talking about the West or the US. I don't believe it," she said.
Her husband got to know Amrozi in Malaysia where he was doing construction work but she does not know what work Amrozi was doing for the 12 months he spent there many years ago.
Neighbours agreed he did not stay as long as many Indonesians working in Malaysia because they said he did not like it there.
With a small business selling aerials to make mobile phones work in his out-of-the-way town, and occasionally repairing motorcycles, there was no sign of a hidden life.
If Amrozi has good friends, none were coming forth yesterday from any of the scores of mosques that dot the little towns sprinkled across the country in this devoutly Muslim part of Indonesia.
At the Al Islam pesantren, or Muslim boarding school, the teachers and students grew increasingly defensive the more questions were asked. "I know him a little, I saw him when he came to pray," said Syuhada, a teacher, although he could not recall if they might have met five times or 50, even though they live a mere 100 metres apart. "I can not believe it because he's such a nice person, he's helpful . . . I never heard him talk about problems with the West."
Mr Syuhada said the school was appalled by the Bali bombings - "How could they do something so cruel . . . How could they do it?"
But he said the school had invited the man some Western countries, including Australia, have accused of being responsible for the bombing. He denied that Abu Bakar Bashir, the alleged spiritual leader of militant Islamic group Jemaah Islamiah, had visited the town five times. "He came here twice, last year and this year, for graduation ceremonies."
The school invited him because he was popular with students and his message was easy to understand.
But he would not say if the school supported Bashir's militant philosophy or endorsed his messages of intolerance.
Back at Amrozi's house there was hot denial that Bashir had visited there three times.
"Lies," shouted the neighbours who insist Amrozi had no signs of fanaticism.
Amrozi has married three times and has a six-year-old girl with his present wife.

According to the Washington Post, new research from Damballa suggests that the Storm worm has its roots in "Bobax worm," a computer worm that first surfaced as early as 2004. Bobax spread by exploiting various vulnerabilities in the Microsoft Windows operating system, and turned infected machines into spam-spewing zombies. Damballa researcher Chris Davis asserts that the Storm worm actually first surfaced in late 2006 as seen on this SANS Internet Storm Center alert on 29 December 2006. On 19 January, F-Secure reported receiving a flood of spam advertising new versions of Storm. Researchers soon discovered that all infected systems were controlled using the eDonkey peer-to-peer file (P2P) communications protocol, the same technology
and networks used by millions of people to share movies and music online. Paul Royal, Damballa's principal researcher said "they basically took Bobax and made all of them become Storm victims, and then started the propagation of Storm through that method. So Storm used a big botnet to bootstrap
itself, and it was the vehicle by which Storm became very popular very quickly." Damballa
estimates that roughly 17,000 systems remain infected with Bobax.

Time to find a good taxidermist is before you bag a trophy
This is the time of year when Bob Hutchinson's frustration takes root.
It's outdoor show season. The Great American, the largest show in the country, runs through Sunday in Harrisburg, as does the Washington County Sportsmen's and Conservation League show at Washington Crown Center.
The Allegheny Sport, Travel and Outdoor Show is Wednesday through Sunday in Monroeville. Other shows will follow in Erie, East Brady, Philadelphia and elsewhere in the weeks ahead.
At each, sportsmen will book trips costing hundreds or thousands of dollars. Then they'll go home and make travel arrangements, practice with their bow, put fresh line on their rods and take the stairs to get in shape.
Only later, when the once-in-a-lifetime trophy they so eagerly sought is dead and in need of immediate attention, will they look for a taxidermist.
"Guys want to go out west to get an elk. They want to go to Africa on a safari. They want to go to Canada for a bear hunt. And they do it. They book the trip," said Hutchinson, who runs Hutch's Taxidermy and Wildlife Art in Mt. Pleasant.
"Then all of a sudden, they get something, and they start calling around because they have no idea where to go."
Hunters and fishermen should research taxidermists now to see who produces the kind of work they want to display, said Joe Simmons of Simmons Wildlife, a Slippery Rock taxidermy studio.
"You wouldn't go out and buy a car without looking around, maybe checking out the different makes and models. It's the same with taxidermy," Simmons said. "Guys need to do their homework."
Sportsmen can start next month when the Pennsylvania Taxidermy Association holds its 35th annual convention and wildlife art show from March 5-8 at Seven Springs Mountain Resort.
It's a trade show for taxidermists and a big one. The Pennsylvania association is the largest state organization in the nation, and this event offers members the chance to attend educational seminars, meet vendors and talk to others in the business.
From noon to 5 p.m. March 8, the show opens to the public. Sportsmen can stop by and view the 400 or so mounts prepared for competition by taxidermists from across Pennsylvania, other states and Canada.
"Educating the public about what good taxidermy is, that's what we're trying to push," said Hutchinson, the association's president. "We're trying to teach people how to find good taxidermy."
Not all work is equal, said Andy Lukatch, a Latrobe taxidermist and instructor at the Pennsylvania Institute of Taxidermy in Ebensburg.
"We don't put out one product, you might say. If you go to a convenience store and buy a Pepsi, it's a Pepsi. Then, if you go to another convenience store down the street and buy a Pepsi, it's the same thing. It's a Pepsi. I think a lot of people think of taxidermy as being the same thing," Lukatch said.
"But it's definitely an art, and everyone does everything a little bit differently."
Price often is the first thing people ask about, Simmons said. It shouldn't be as important as the quality of work, though, he added.
He suggests investigating what individual taxidermists are capable of. Most will have photos of past mounts, if not also a studio of some sort, he said.
Ask questions, Lukatch added. For example, does the taxidermist tan his hides? Not all do, he said. Ask what materials he uses. And check out the eyes, ears and noses of mounts: That's where a taxidermist's attention to detail shows up, he said.
Find out, too, whether a taxidermist is licensed by the state, with a tax identification number and business insurance, Hutchinson said. There are about 1,200 licensed taxidermists in Pennsylvania, he said, along with a lot of unlicensed ones. There's no guarantee what training or experience those latter people have, he said.
Also find out whether a taxidermist is certified by the state taxidermy association, meaning they've submitted their work for peer review and competition and attended seminars and one-on-one workshops, Simmons said. Being certified doesn't necessarily mean they're better than a licensed taxidermist who isn't, he said.
"But that's showing the client you are continuing your education, keeping up with the latest techniques and newest technology and producing the best mounts you can," Simmons said.
Taxidermists are doing good work these days, Hutchinson said. The mounts aren't like grandpa's deer head on the wall from yesteryear. They're "artistic representations" of wildlife, often featuring "habitat," with bears mounted standing on rocks surrounded by acorns, deer mounted next to fence posts and brush and trout mounted on pebbles, he said.
But as with most things, "you get what you pay for," Lukatch said.
"Guys aren't out there to rip you off. They're trying to give you something you'll be happy living with for the rest of your life," he said. "But taxidermy, it's an art. You have to educate yourself about it and figure out what kind of product you're going to get."

Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell
by Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë (1850)
Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell was a volume of poetry published jointly by the three Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne in 1846, and their first work to ever go in print. To evade contemporary prejudice against female writers, the Brontë sisters adopted androgynous first names. All three retained the first letter of their first names: Charlotte became Currer Bell, Anne became Acton Bell, and Emily became Ellis Bell. This copy is from the 1850 edition and includes Charlotte's additions of previously unpublished poetry by her late sisters. (from Wiki)

Boston's saga continues
David Boston had GHB in his system when he was arrested in Pinellas Park for DUI, according to the Pinellas Park Police Department, which released the information on Monday.
GHB is commonly referred to as a date rape drug because it can render a user unconscious. Boston was found unconscious on a road in Pinellas Park on Aug. 23.
According to published reports, Boston had 870 micrograms per milliliter of GHB in his urine. Cynthia Lewis-Younger, medical director for the Florida Poison Information Center in Tampa, told the Tampa Tribune that the amount is four times what one would expect to see in the urine of someone who received a prescribed, legitimate dose.
The drug is believed by some of to have bodybuilding properties, but that has not been proven. GHB is an illegal substance under law, but the NFL does not test for the drug, so it does not fall under the league's substance abuse policy. Nevertheless, NFL spokesperson Greg Aiello said a violation of substance abuse law is a violation of the league's personal conduct policy.
So the NFL will continue to monitor the case until its conclusion.
Boston's previous legal issues include a plea of no contest to two misdemeanor counts of testing positive for marijuana and cocaine after a traffic stop in 2002. He also earned a four-game suspension in 2004 from the NFL for violating the league's steroid policy. Boston appeal, but the appeal was denied.
Buccaneers general manager Bruce Allen — who vehemently supported Boston on Aug. 25 — had this to say through a statement on Monday:
"We are taking the allegations in [Monday's] report released by the Pinellas Park Police Department very seriously and we will continue to review all information as it becomes available," Allen said. "We will reserve further comment until all the facts surrounding the investigation are complete."
My take: I feel the need to set off my opinion because I don't want it confused with the facts of this case as we know them. GHB is becoming a common drug in the athletic community because some believe it has bodybuilding and recovery properties, and because the NFL doesn't test for it they believe that makes it a better alternative to steroids. But if you take a good amount of GHB, as Boston must have for his test to be considered that extreme, it can cause hallucinations and even psychosis, according to doctors. That may explain reports that Boston told police he was on his way to Tampa International Airport from Orlando to leave for a preseason game a full day before the Bucs were to depart for Miami, and more than a week after the Bucs returned from Orlando and training camp.
I think this will likely lead to a suspension for Boston, at least for four games, given that he has a history with the NFL. Boston hasn't given an explanation yet, though he said he's innocent. The NFL usually conducts its own investigation in these cases, so a suspension could come before the trial, if the NFL feels it has Boston cold. If he's found guilty, the NFL could suspend him longer than four games. I would expect, though, that Boston's lawyers will seek a plea agreement of some kind.
And, maybe it's time for the NFL to consider making GHB a banned substance. Why? Well, read this story on a young Tampa athlete and you'll find out why.
The players are off today. See you Wednesday.

Unaided stereo vision based pose estimation
Warren, Michael, McKinnon, David, He, Hu, & Upcroft, Ben (2010) Unaided stereo vision based pose estimation. In Australasian Conference on Robotics and Automation (ACRA 2010), 1-3 December 2010, Brisbane, Queensland.
Conference Paper
Published Version.
This paper presents the development of a low-cost sensor platform for use in ground-based visual pose estimation and scene mapping tasks. We seek to develop a technical solution using low-cost vision hardware that allows us to accurately estimate robot position for SLAM tasks. We present results from the application of a vision based pose estimation technique to simultaneously determine camera poses and scene structure. The results are generated from a dataset gathered traversing a local road at the St Lucia Campus of the University of Queensland. We show the accuracy of the pose estimation over a 1.6km trajectory in relation to GPS ground truth.

Don't you just love irony? I have dug out an 1988 Lancashire Evening Telegraph book entitled 'Blackburn Since 1900' written by Simon John and will share an extract from it with you: The big event of the 1930s was the abdication, and the coronation of King George VI, and Blackburn folk held street parties to celebrate.
The Blackburn Trustee Savings Bank promised to give a bank book credited with 10s to all chidren in the area born at the time of coronation.
There was controversy, though, over the Blackburn Education Committee's gift to pupils. The plan to give children souvenir mugs was attacked by one councillor on the grounds of refinement.
He suggested that they got a cup and saucer each instead, so they would not learn the habit of drinking out of pint pots!
The history of councillors bickering over Royal souvenir cups has been going on for over 75 years.

Guide to Finding the Right Joint Supplement
We tested over 30 products to find the best supplements on the market... We found some shocking results.
By, Keith Lesbin
Senior Editor
Consumers Guides
Whether it was an old sports injury, arthritis, or just old age, painful and swollen joints can have a huge impact on the rest of your lifestyle.
The right joint supplement can make these ailments a thing of the past and help you tackle every day with energy and vitality.
The problem is that there are just too many products out there claiming the same thing. So which product should you choose?
That's where we come in...
Our team of unbiased and independent researchers gathered 33 of the best joint health supplements and tested and analyzed each one of them for effectiveness, safety, and value.
Simply put... we wanted to find the best joint supplement on the market.
Part 1: Choosing Ingredients That Work
The first step to creating an effective supplement is to use the right ingredients. Some products claiming to be the best either don't use the right amount of ingredients, or don't use the right ingredients at all.
Here are 3 ingredients that NEED to be in your Joint Health Supplement:
Part 2: Ingredients to Avoid
Some companies have tried to fool consumers in the past by using cheap, low-quality ingredients, to cut costs and boost profits. Here are two ingredients to look out for:
Part 3: Analyzing the Products
Here's everything we focused on during our testing:
The Top Joint Supplement on the Market
More than half of the 33 products we tested FAILED to even pass our initial ingredients test. They either didn't have the proper ingredients, didn't have an effective formula, bulked up their supplement with artificial fillers, or used potentially harmful substances.
Other companies were untrustworthy - not having customer support, or only selling one product (a red-flag for fly-by-night companies looking to get rich quick).
This left us with only a handful of high-quality supplements from trusted suppliers.
Of this group, though, there was one clear winner that stood high above the rest - Whole Body Research's Joint Stimuflex.
This supplement:
Our Top Picks:
#1 Joint Supplement: Whole Body Joint Stimuflex
Whether your joint problems are due to sports injuries, arthrities, or just normal wear-and-tear, this product is for you.
Out of every product we looked at, Whole Body Research had the highest quality supplement, making it the only one we can safely recommend you purchase.
They include all the ingredients we wanted to see, in the most effective doses possible. That includes 500 mg of Natural Eggshell Membrane, 300 mg of Boswellia, 200 mg of Turmeric, and 100 mg of white willow. These numbers exceeded all of our minimums, and for the price, you won't get more bang for your buck.
Similarly, Whole Body Research is an established company that makes supplements that customers love. They've been selling supplements for a long time, and they aren't one of those companies that just pops up overnight hoping to get rich fast.
On top of all this, they use strict third-party testing to guarantee that their products are perfect before they offer them for sale. This shows a concern for the customer, not just for their bottom line.
They also back every single one of their products with a 90-day, money-back guarantee- something none of our other finalists could match. Standing behind their product like this tells us that they absolutely believe it works, and they're willing to put their money where their mouth is.
If there is one negative we could find about Whole Body Research, it's that they have difficulty keeping their products in stock. And as word continues to spread about their products, it seems likely that they'll continue to have issues with being sold out more often than not.
Click the link below to read our full review of Whole Body Research's Joint Stimuflex. We've also provided a link with a special discount if you're interested in trying it for yourself.
(Note: Consumers Guides makes no guarantees about the availability of the product. As mentioned, this product sells out often, and we cannot promise that it will still be in stock when you read this.)

# 2 Second Choice: Instaflex Joint Support
We also like the joint support supplement from Instaflex. Like Whole Body Research, Instaflex uses high-quality ingredients. The product also had a fair price, but upon closer inspection, you'll see that the price isn't quite right.
This is because the ingredient that we most want to see, Natural Eggshell Membrane, is replace by the more traditional Glucosamine. This helps the company cut a corner, but also means they're missing the biggest thing in joint health going on right now.
They do include white willow, Tumeric, and Boswellia, though. So while the egg membrane is missing, we're still happy to see this other joint-happy ingredients.
Instaflex doesn't use binders or synthetic ingredients. But they do have a few filler ingredients that don't really need to be there and don't third-party test as far as we can tell. While this is nowhere near as effective as the supplement from Whole Body Research, it still earns our second spot thanks to positive customer reviews and a supplement with most of the ingredients we want to see.
#3 Third Choice: Natural Factors Natural EggShell Membrane
Natural Factors Natural Eggshell Membrane will round out our list of top supplements. These guys generally do a good job with supplements, but this one left us wishing for more. Like the others, they don't use binders and synthetics, but that's probably because they don't use much else.
This supplement has the always-effective Natural Eggshell Membrane and a veggie capsule, and that's it. This just isn't enough to get higher on our list. Eggshell membrane is great, but when combined with the other ingredients we've mentioned, you get a truly amazing product.
So while this nice supplement gets a nod, it just doesn't offer enough to make it higher on our list.
P.S. While Whole Body Joint Formula is the best joint supplement we've found, we would still love to hear about any others you've tried. If you have had a great experience of your own, please send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com with the details. We'll check it out and if it looks good, we'll post it here.

Aboriginal Services
The Aboriginal Services Unit (ASU) was established in 1995 as a result of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (RCIADIC). It was recognised that in order to respond to the Royal Commission recommendations it was necessary to establish the required resources to monitor the outcomes.
The ASU is responsible for advising and developing the provision of culturally appropriate services to Aboriginal prisoners and offenders, and is a significant contributor to policy development for the management and rehabilitation of Aboriginal offenders.
The Unit actively participates in the development of partnerships and support for Aboriginal community organisations and other Government departments, in the provision of services for Aboriginal offenders.
Aboriginal offenders require special attention in any correctional system because of their culture and high level of representation. In the South Australian system, Aboriginal offenders come from urban backgrounds and traditional lands in the far north and western areas of the State. The ASU develops and implements policies and practices applicable for managing these offenders and liaising with key advocacy groups.
Culturally competent programs and services are critical to reducing re-offending by Aboriginal offenders and improving outcomes for Aboriginal people.
The latest Report on Government Services, released 28 January 2011 indicates the average daily Aboriginal imprisonment rate in South Australia as 23% in 2009-10 (this is 3% below the national average of 26.1%). The Department has therefore put a number of strategies in place. These include:
- providing programs for rehabilitation that are culturally competent;
- the employment of Aboriginal Liaison Officers;
- the construction of 'Pakani Arangka', an Aboriginal accommodation unit at Port Augusta Prison;
- focusing on literacy and numeracy;
- recruitment and retention strategies for Aboriginal staff; and
- maintaining an Aboriginal Services Unit.
The Aboriginal Services Unit also coordinates the Prevention of Aboriginal Deaths in Custody Forum, which is held every six weeks at different prisons.
This Forum is directly focused on achieving better outcomes in reducing reoffending and ensuring ongoing commitment to the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (1991).
It is chaired by the Chief Executive and provides an opportunity for Aboriginal prisoners to communicate issues important to them.
As a result of these strategies, Aboriginal deaths in custody have drastically decreased. Up to 14 June 2011, there has only been one death of an Aboriginal prisoner as a result of suicide since 2003. DCS provides a wide range of services to Aboriginal prisoners including:
- access to all programs developed for all prisoners; and
- access to special programs specific to Aboriginal prisoner needs such as:
- Violence Prevention Program - modified to ensure culturally appropriate;
- spiritual programs involving Aboriginal Elders to promote healing; and
- Aboriginal Health Services, through the Department's partnership with Nunkuwarrin Yunti.
As at May 2011, the Department has 67 Aboriginal/Torrens Strait Islander employees, which is approximately 4.1% of all Departmental employees, well above the State's Strategic target of 2%.
In October 2001, the Department firmly established its commitment to reconciliation with Aboriginal people with the signing of a Declaration of Reconciliation.
In June 2011, The Department reaffirmed it's commitment to reconciliation with a renewed Declaration of Reconciliation.

List managers/masters: Sorry if this is too long or too basic but I wanted to give as many facts as I could. Thanks in advance for all you help. I am in the process of setting up a majordomo listserver. I think that I have everything but perl in place. I have a base copy of perl ( just the executable file ) that I found a while back. I tried to send a message to my majordomo 1.93 server ... echo help | sendmail -v majordomo and I got the error: Can't locate ctime.pl in @INC at /soft/majordomo/bin/majordomo line 53 and I found in one of the majordomo config/help files: If you get complaints about being unable to find "ctime.pl", then either your version of perl is too old, or is not installed properly. I got a copy of Perl 4.x and tried to compile it under Solaris 2.4 with gcc but was unsuccessful. Question 1: Does anyone know where I can get a full binary version of Perl 4.x for Sparc Solaris 2.4? --------------------- Can't locate ctime.pl in @INC at /soft/majordomo/bin/majordomo line 53 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I put all of users on the /soft drive ( makes it easy to backup ) and I have installed my limited copy of Perl as /soft/bin/perl. Question 2: Will I be able to keep it that way? What kind of problems will I run into? ( Yes, I think I got all of the references to the !/usr/local/bin/perl changed to !/soft/bin/perl ) List manager wanna be :-) Paul S.

Apple's New iBooks 2, iBooks Author Apps Hit 440,000 Downloads Combined in First 3 Days

About 350,000 textbooks were downloaded from the iBooks 2 store while iBooks Author had 90,000 downloads
Just last week, Apple unveiled its efforts to
reinvent the textbook
via two new apps called iBook Author and iBooks 2, and both have gained significant popularity in their short time since release.
IBook Author and iBooks 2 launched January 19 at Apple's education event at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. IBook Author is Mac software that allows textbook writers and publishers to create textbooks
specifically for the iPad
while iBooks 2 is a sequel to the iBooks app that provides students with textbooks on the iPad as well as new study options like note-taking.
Global Equities Research, which provides research in global equities with a focus on near-term to long-term trends, has been keeping its eye on Apple's latest educational offerings via a proprietary tracking system. According to its findings,
Apple's two new apps
are already a huge hit.
Global Equities Research's tracking system determined that there were 90,000 downloads of iBooks Author within the first three days of availability while 350,000 textbooks were downloaded from the iBooks store within that same period of time.
The new textbook apps seem to be a winner for all parties involved, since iBook production costs about 80 percent less than print publication according to Global Equities Research. With supply chain markup on textbooks between 33 and 35 percent, cutting out the middlemen between the publisher to the retailer and instead delivering digital textbooks from the publisher to the student via iBooks will present considerable savings.
The textbooks in iBooks 2 are high school level books that are starting at $14.99 or less for now. These prices will increase over time as the selection expands. The books offered in the free app come from publishers like Pearson, McGraw Hill and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, which combined make up 90 percent of textbooks available.

This is a get along-go along culture where individualism isn't well developed.
By sticking to the variation you hold by, there is individualism.
Instead, each American should spend his days cultivating his individualism, his selfhood.
The Cossacks stood for freedom and individualism, and central Russia would do anything to keep them from spreading their ideals.
Ross Douthat offers a clue when he calls ours the "Age of individualism."
He wrote as a liberal in whom the spirit of individualism was active.
There was this idealism at the very beginning of their individualism.
individualism has been a much misunderstood thing, be it a social movement or a logical condition of inductive thinking.
The individualism of Americans resented the interference of government in other matters.
To protect his individualism from taint, the United States soldier must bear part of the financial burden.
"self-centered feeling," 1827, from individual + -ism. As a social philosophy (opposed to communism and socialism) first attested 1851 in writings of J.S. Mill.
A majority can never replace the individual. ... Just as a hundred fools do not make one wise man, a heroic decision is not likely to come from a hundred cowards. [Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf," 1933]
A view that stresses the importance and worth of each person. In economics, it is the doctrine that individuals best serve the public interest by pursuing their own self-interest. For example, the businessman who expands his company to increase his profits also creates jobs for many people and thereby serves the public interest. (See laissez-faire.)

Mike Frank Russell's goal after five minute set Kerry on their way but they went down to 14 men when Kieran Donaghy was dismissed for an off-the-ball kick.
Kerry led 1-7 to 0-2 at the break and they remained on top to the end.
Kerry's Ronan O Flatharta was sent-off in the second half for two yellow cards before Erne keeper Chris Breen was red carded after a clash with Russell.
The reigning league and All-Ireland champions had 1-3 on the board before Fermanagh registered their first point.
The Ernemen's chances were rare but Diarmuid Murphy had to make a superb save to keep out Eamon Maguire's first-half shot.
O Flatharta was dismissed by referee Michael Hughes after 59 minutes with Breen following him down the tunnel three minutes later.
The result leaves the Ulstermen bottom of the division and without a point from three games.
