The following check aids a medical expert obtain a good approximation of your spectacles doctor prescribed. Intended for retinoscopy, everyone in the room lighting is dimmed as well as an tool including trolley wheels regarding lenses (known as the phoropter) is put when in front of up your eyes. You will be motivated to look at a thing throughout the space (some of the massive "E" on your wall information as well as display) although your doctor does well a light from the hand-held musical instrument in your face via arm's length plus turns unique contacts looking at the eye area.
Using the means sunlight reflects through the vision in this technique, your medical professional might get is sensible of what your own glasses prescribed must be. That examine is especially great for small children as well as non-verbal clients who're cannot correctly respond to the doctor's inquiries.
Using the wide-spread use of robotic instruments that will help identify eyeglass medications nowadays, many medical practitioners go without doing retinoscopy through in depth vision exams. Nonetheless, this specific examination can provide precious details about a resolution with the central lens and also other press inside vision. Therefore physicians who no longer conduct this kind of test regularly might still apply it when looking at someone that may be liable to cataracts as well as other inside attention difficulties.
This can be the test your medical professional makes use of to find out your own correct specs doctor's prescription. Throughout a refraction, your physician places the particular phoropter in front of you along with explains a few lens selections.see here She or he will then ask you which of the two upgraded lenses in every option ("1 or A pair of," "A and also N,Inch one example is) increase the risk for text letters on your wall information appearance clearer.
Based upon your responses, your personal doctor determine the quantity of nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism you may have, as well as the eyeglass contact lenses essential to proper these types of eye-sight problems (that happen to be known as echoing mistakes).

Your health care provider also may utilize an autorefractor as well as aberrometer to assist decide your current a pair of glasses pharmaceutical drug. Having both equally gadgets, any chin area relaxation stabilizes top of your head whilst you normally consider a establish regarding and other photo.
A strong autorefractor evaluates the way in which a picture is focused on your retina, in which eye-sight control transpires, without that you express everything. This could cause autorefractors in particular useful when viewing children as well as individuals who might have complications with a regular ("subjective") refraction. Robotic refractions and very subjective refractions are frequently applied together during a extensive assessment to view ones eyeglasses doctor prescribed.
A good aberrometer employs sophisticated wavefront technologies to diagnose also hide eye sight blunders in line with the technique lumination journeys through your eye.
Cover test out
Though there are lots of ways for the physician to check on that your little brown eyes come together, the duvet cover examination is the simplest and the majority of prevalent.
After a go over test, the attention medical doctor will have you focus on a little item at long distance and will after that handle every one of you alternately whilst you stare at the aim for. As they make this happen, vision doctors discover how a lot each and every eyesight must proceed any time found to receive the actual fixation goal. The test is going to be duplicated because you give attention to an almost concept.
Deal with exams can discover even incredibly subdued misalignments that may obstruct your eyes group thoroughly (binocular eye-sight) as well as lead to amblyopia or even "lazy observation."
Slit-lamp test
This pussy light fixture is an musical instrument how the optometrist uses to consider the healthiness of you. useful referenceOtherwise known as your biomicroscope, the slit table lamp supplies your physician a highly zoomed check out the actual structures with the eyesight, like lens driving the actual pupil, so that you can extensively review these people pertaining to indications of infection or condition.
Your slit lamp fixture is defined as an lighted binocular microscopic lense that is certainly installed on a stand and has a chin area relax plus mind music group to set the patient's scalp properly. By making use of hand-held improved lenses, a medical professional also can makes use of the slit table lamp to examine this retina (a light-sensitive inner coating with the back with the observation.)
Tonometry (glaucoma tests)
Tonometry will be the good name for a range of checks which might be carried out to determine the force inside the eye. Greater inner observation force could potentially cause glaucoma, that's eye-sight decline resulting from destruction of this sensitive optic neural behind the eye.
The most frequent approach used for tonometry could be the "air puff" test * in which an automatic guitar discharges a little broken of air flow to your the surface of your. Dependant on your current eye's potential to deal with the use the e-cig connected with oxygen, the equipment works out be successful as part of your eyes -- termed your own intraocular stress (IOP).
Though the examination by itself is usually startling, simply air variations your talent during this measurement and there's no potential for eyesight pain with the air drag examine.
One other popular technique to gauge attention force is with a device called a good applanation tonometer, which happens to be normally attached to a pussy lamp fixture. In this check, any green eyes shed lies for your view. The eye area can come to feel a little serious as soon as the droplets activate. This isn't some sort of dilating lower -- it's simply a mind-numbing adviser along with your green color. Next the health care provider will have an individual look direct onward within the slit light since he or she gently is situated the bright-blue glowing probe of the tonometer on the entrance of every eyes plus by hand steps the actual intraocular force.tso eye doctor

All these treated eyesight declines enlargen ones pupil settle down ! health care provider will get an even better view of the inner constructions at the rear of a persons vision. Dilating droplets usually acquire about 20 min to get started on doing work.

Its too bad it appears there is no way to get credit, but if anyone is more serious about we could try and do some assignments and check each other (optional).

Checking the Noisebridge wiki schedule Sunday looks pretty open. Mike, would that be better for you ? Anyone else ? The problem Wednesday as I see it is more than just a bad time for some of us, but also the environment as Noisebridge is noisy / crowded which rather interferes.

To the average consumer, purchasing bath salts indicates a night meant for relaxation and meditation. But according to recent news, several products on the market touted as "energizing the mind, body and soul," might instead be a ploy endorsing shoppers to buy a product that has a shockingly similar exterior look and after effects of one of our country's most nefarious drugs in cocaine.
The Drug Enforcement Administration reported that after either inhaling or ingesting these particular salts, a growing number of buyers have ended up in the hospital or psychiatric ward because of hallucinations or paranoia. The Administration also claims that trying these particular salts can result in death.
The active drug found is called MDVP (Psychoactive- and is also known as Super Coke, Magic, MDPK and PV) and first surfaced in 2004. According to the DEA, it is almost impossible to find after drug screenings, and is sold frequently at smoke shops across the country. The salts keep dopamine from being released in the brain. Usage of the substance can lead to violence, experts say. In fact, police in Panama City, Florida labeled the drug as the cause of two extremely violent occurrences, one in which a young woman apparently attempted to behead an elderly family member and a second having to do with a man destroying the backseat upholstery of his car with his own teeth.
Names like "Bliss", "Red Dawn" or "Purple Wave", are common and apparently come in packages structured similar to Kool-Aid. Costing anywhere from $20- $80 (and can be purchased via the internet), ingestion or inhalation of the salts have resulted in more than 250 calls to poison control centers this year.
With that in mind, states like Florida and Louisiana have banned all sales of these brands and New York Senator Charles Schumer (D) plays a key role in trying to produce a bill that will add these salts to the ever growing list of controlled substances. Adding these bath salts to the list may be the key to keep them from be- coming just another recreational drug that can potentially cause the death of thousands.

Mettā (Pāli) or Maitrī (Sanskrit) means unconditional and unattached loving kindness. It is one of the ten pāramitās of the Theravāda school of Buddhism, and the first of the four Brahmavihāras. The mettā bhāvanā (cultivation of mettā) is a popular form of meditation in Buddhism, practiced with mindfulness of breath, which provides concentration, so as to prevent the loss of compassion.
The object of mettā meditation is to cultivate loving kindness (love without attachment, non-exclusive love) towards all sentient beings. The practice usually begins with the meditator cultivating loving kindness towards themselves (though this is not specifically recommended by the Buddha himself in the relevant suttas/sutras), then their loved ones, friends, teachers, strangers and finally their enemies. It is a good way to calm down a distraught mind because it is an antidote to anger. Someone who has cultivated mettā will not be easily angered and can quickly subdue anger that arises. They will be more caring, more loving, and more likely to love unconditionally.
Buddhists believe that those who cultivate mettā will be at ease because they see no need to harbour ill will or hostility. Buddhist teachers may even recommend meditation on mettā as an antidote to insomnia and nightmares. It is generally felt that those around a mettā-ful person will feel more comfortable and happy too. Radiating mettā contributes to a world of love, peace and happiness.
Mettā meditation: the practice of loving-kindnessEdit
Mettā signifies friendship and non-violence as well as "a strong wish for the happiness of others", but also less obvious or direct qualities such as showing patience, receptivity, and appreciation. Though it refers to many seemingly disparate ideas, Mettā is in fact a very specific form of love – a caring for another independent of all self-interest – and thus is likened to one's love for one's child or parent. Understandably, this energy is often difficult to describe in words; however, in the practice of Mettā meditation, one recites specific words and phrases in order to evoke this "boundless warm-hearted feeling." The strength of this feeling is not limited to or by family, religion, or social class. Indeed, Mettā is a tool that permits one's generosity and kindness to be applied to all beings and, as a consequence, one finds true happiness in another person's happiness, no matter who the individual is.
Six stagesEdit
The full instructions for the theory and practice of mettā bhāvanā is available in the Visuddhimagga ("The path to purity"), Chapter IX, of the Buddhist scriptures.
The six stages of mettā bhāvanā meditation which are most commonly found involves cultivating loving-kindness towards:
- Yourself
- A good friend
- A 'neutral' person
- A difficult person
- All four
- and then gradually the entire universe
- (Kamalashila 1996, p.25-26)
For #2 avoid choosing someone that you feel sexually attracted to, or that is much younger or much older than yourself, or who is dead. For #3 choose someone that you might come in contact with every day, but who does not give rise to strong positive nor strong negative emotions. For #4 traditionally choose "an enemy", but avoid choosing a person who has just wrecked your life, unless you are very well grounded in awareness. For #5 treat them as equals, equally deserving of loving-kindness.
The Metta Meditation is attributed as words of the Buddha (Karaniya Metta Sutta, "Good Will", Sn 1.8):
- This is what should be done
- By one who is skilled in goodness,
- And who knows the path of peace:
- Let them be able and upright,
- Straightforward and gentle in speech,
- Humble and not conceited,
- Contented and easily satisfied,
- Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways.
- Peaceful and calm and wise and skillful,
- Not proud or demanding in nature.
- Let them not do the slightest thing
- That the wise would later reprove.
- Wishing: In gladness and in safety,
- May all beings be at ease.
- Whatever living beings there may be;
- Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none,
- The great or the mighty, medium, short or small,
- The seen and the unseen,
- Those living near and far away,
- Those born and to-be-born —
- May all beings be at ease!
- Let none deceive another,
- Or despise any being in any state.
- Let none through anger or ill-will
- Wish harm upon another.
- Even as a mother protects with her life
- Her child, her only child,
- So with a boundless heart
- Should one cherish all living beings;
- Radiating kindness over the entire world.
- Spreading upwards to the skies,
- And downwards to the depths;
- Outwards and unbounded,
- Freed from hatred and ill-will.
- Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down
- Free from drowsiness,
- One should sustain this recollection.
- This is said to be the sublime abiding.
- By not holding to fixed views,
- The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision,
- Being freed from all sense desires,
- Is not born again into this world.

With Jered Weaver on the mound, the Angels came, oh, so close to making it a true free-for-all in the AL West Sunday night. But in the span of four pitches in the seventh inning the Texas Rangers reasserted their division dominance with a display of instant offense.
It's almost too easy to be a Monday morning quarterback in this one. Angels manager Mike Scioscia elected to pitch his best starters, Ervin Santana and Weaver, on three days' rest in this series. Santana delivered seven innings of four-hit ball in an 8-4 victory on Saturday.
And Weaver appeared on the verge of similar success Sunday. But Weaver wilted in the 103-degree heat, unable to hold a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the seventh.
Instead of closing to within a game of the AL West leaders, the Angels, who were seven games out of first place less on Aug. 17, still find themselves three games behind the Rangers.
How did it happen? In a flash. David Murphy double, Ian Kinsler RBI single, Elvis Andrus bunt single, Josh Hamilton RBI single against reliever Scott Downs.
Throw in a two-run single by Endy Chavez and the Rangers were on their way to a 9-5 victory.
Was Scioscia wrong to start Weaver in the series? Was he wrong to send him out to start the seventh inning? His team had won seven of eight. The Rangers were showing cracks in their armor, having lost three of four to the Red Sox earlier in the week and watching slugging outfielder Nelson Cruz pull up with a hamstring injury in the sixth inning of this one.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram columnist Gil LeBreton suggests it was the unforgiving Texas heat -- that same heat often blamed for years of Rangers' futility -- that tipped the scales against Scioscia when he elected to ride his ace to the rodeo on short rest:
"For years, baseball people have told tall tales about the Texas heat, about the way it allegedly wilts Rangers pitchers and annually turns the team's pennant hopes into a puddle. … To me, you save this chip for the postseason. You ask your starters to dig deeper in balmy October, not in Sahara-esque August."
After the game, Scioscia was looking ahead, not back at his decisions.
"We can't let this series kill our momentum," he told the Orange County Register. "We've been playing good baseball. We can't hang our heads. We have to go into Seattle and keep playing the way we've been playing."
Weaver, at 15-7 and having a season worthy of Cy Young consideration, was of a similar mindset.
""Last time I checked, we play 162 games," he said. "It would have been nice to take two out of three, but we got one. It could have been worse than three games (back)."

Seven scams that target small businesses
Being vigilant against fraud is not only good for a company's financial health, it also strengthens customer trust in the business.
Every year the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) receives thousands of complaints from small business owners who fell for an invoicing scam or were misled into paying for products and services they didn't want.
Scammers aren't always trying to steal money from a business; sometimes they are after a company's financial or customer data and will use many kinds of high and low-tech methods for getting it.
Becoming a victim of fraud can have a negative financial and reputational impact on a business. The BBB is warning business owners to look out for the following scams that commonly target small companies:
Directory scams. A problem that has plagued businesses for decades involves deceptive sales for directories. Commonly the scammer will call the business claiming they just want to update the company's entry in an online directory or the scammer might lie about being with the Yellow Pages. The business is later billed hundreds of dollars for listing services they didn't agree to or for ads that they thought would be in the Yellow Pages.
Office supply scams. Some scammers prey on small business owners hoping they won't notice a bill for office supplies like toner or paper that the company never ordered. Every year, the BBB receives thousands of complaints from small business owners who were deceived by office supply companies and billed for products they didn't want.
Overpayment scams. Be extremely cautious if a customer overpays using a check or credit card and then asks you to wire the extra money back to them or to a third party. Overpayment scams target any number of companies including catering businesses, manufacturers, wholesalers and sellers on sites like eBay, Craigslist and Etsy.
Data breaches. No matter how vigilant your company is, a data breach can still happen. Whether it's the result of hackers, negligence or a disgruntled employee, a data breach can have severe impact on the level of trust customers have in your business. Learn how to defend your company from a data breach for free with BBB's Data Security - Made Simpler at www.bbb.org/data-security.
Vanity awards. While it's flattering to be recognized for your hard work, some awards are just money-making schemes and have no actual merit. If you are approached about receiving a business or leadership award, research the opportunity carefully and be wary if you're asked to pay money.
Stolen identity. Scammers will often pretend to be a legitimate company for the purposes of ripping off consumers. When it comes to stolen identity, the company doesn't necessarily lose money, but their reputation is tarnished as angry customers who were ripped off by the scammers think the real company is responsible.
Phishing e-mails. Some phishing e-mails target small business owners with the goal of hacking into their computer or network. Common examples include e-mails pretending to be from the IRS claiming the company is being audited or phony e-mails from the BBB saying the company has received a complaint.
If you receive a suspicious e-mail from a government agency or the BBB, don't click on any links or open any attachments. Contact the agency or the BBB directly to confirm the legitimacy of the e-mail.

The mission of the BBB is to promote, through self-regulation, the highest standards of business ethics and conduct, and to instill public confidence in responsible businesses through programs of education and action that inform, protect and assist the general public

It worked great side by side with my LG and I really couldn't notice a difference in quality from one to the other. That is until today. I turned on my computer, and my bios was inverted on my Hanns-g monitor. I thought it was a little weird. But then when my computer got to my log in screen that's when I knew I had a problem. The monitor color was inverted. Is this common!?? I have never had a monitor do this to, which is very upsetting since I have only had this monitor for almost 2 months. What the heck!?
I want a fix, refund, or new monitor because this is complete cr*p!

[quote:D. Bunker:MV8xOTc0NTc2XzMzMTYwNDIyXzVCRkFGOEU5] My opinion remains that Israeli concerns will be far more focused and immediate. I maintain my belief that Iran is not the primary short term target of choice for the IDF. I think it is in their interests to remove the 'clear and present danger' of Hezbollah first. While some concern is certainly valid for the NE border as well as their southern border, somewhat diminished in recent days, the primary threat is within Lebanon. Remove it and the card house falls down. Deployments of new systems center around the Hezbollah threat and it is far more doable than a total regional war. Some will believe that attacking Hezbollah must equal a regional conflagration, but I do not believe other states would join the fray if it were a convincing Israeli offensive. The concern then is whether Israel CAN convincingly engage with minimal political fall out and can win. The last round was a draw. Anything short of liquidation of Hezbollah seems outside the norm of Israeli strategy and while boldness is a signature theme, they also normally choose smaller far more executable quick operations that maximize gains and minimize risk. Total war is not a choice I expect them to make. An attack on Iran can only escalate into a wider war that would involve far too much chaos to control. [/quote]

In continuation of a series of years of World at War,THIS IS A SPECIAL EDITION BASED UPON URGENT PENDING MATTERS, the following was the 2011 thread.
Thread: The World at War, Official 2011 war thread for North Korea, Iran, Israel, China, U.S.
The following is the 2012 Thread up to the end of August.
Thread: World at War, Official 2012 Thread for Israel, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, PA, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, India, North Korea, Russia, China, U.S.
Now we enter into the last four months of 2012. Follow the past year to see where we are at. I try not to give much BS and only ask that if you do not care for the topic or format, do not visit this thread.
Trolls, you will be deleted or blocked, you can start your own thread if you wish, just leave us alone!
As stated at the start of 2012, 2012 will be the start of much chaos economically as well as militarily. We have gone through much doom and gloom already. But now, it is of urgency that we wait to see whether Iran goes nuclear, whether Israel takes it upon herself to attack Iran, whether the US leaves Israel to fend for herself, what the results of the US election have in store for Israel, the Mideast and the US, and what will happen in Syria.
Israel must face the challenge of a nuclear Iran with or without the U.S. to protect her. Further, Syria feels threatened as did Libya where Assad may lash out at Israel. The Hezbollah may too jump on in. Lebanon and Jordan may face their own arab spring. Egypt may tear up the Israeli peace treaty any day. Turkey looks as Israel with jealousy for Israel's gas and oil reserves in the Med.
China and Russia wish to impose retrictions on America's once global dominance where there will be more challenges to U.S. interests leading to possible military blows.
North Korea's tender young leader has no fear in challenging U.S. might and may cause further military adventurism.
Pakistan has nukes that could be stolen and/or Pakistan and the U.S. may enter into more vis a vis hotile interactions.
Iran is threatening to challenge the west and is due for a nuclear detonation soon. What the U.S./and or Israel do to stop Iran is worthy of watching every day.
Iraq is now under Iran's thumb and likely will further become a feifdom of Iran.
Afghanistan is soon to force the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
India and Pakistan may soon come to blows.
Will the global economic crisis resolve itself, will the crisis collapse the world economy, or whom may come forward with some new currency?
Further, spiritually, 2012 looks to be a year of turmoil.
There are seers warning of some type of sign from God this coming year. The Mayan's seemed to predict something. The Pope may flee Rome? A comet in the sky? Great earthquakes? Signs in the sky?
Look further at bug-outs or going grey, everyone should be prepping by now in case things really do go bad. I am just saying.
So, if you wish to discuss the above mentioned or wish to hear it from others, feel free to drop in and leave some good 5 stars if you find this inforomation either entertaining or productive.

Bram Stoker?
I'm Belac Reteet. I (no offence to whoever is behind these articles) oppose the presence of Dracula and Bram Stoker on this wiki. However, Dracula at least has refrence, and Bram Stoker doesn't even have one of those. One could argue that he is neccesary for Dracula's presence here, but it still seems pretty tidious to me. Again, no offence intended. Catch ya later!belacreteet (talk) 20:02, March 11, 2013 (UTC)
- He is notable - the Chocolate Frog Card specifically states:
Notorious vampire who inspired the fictional Count Dracula created by Bram Stoker. Father of Vlad the Impaler.
He is explicitly mentioned in canon and thus gets his own article. --Hunnie Bunn 20:05, March 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, alright. I'm still against Dracula though.belacreteet (talk) 01:30, March 12, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, it's like Hunnie Bunn said, the character is mentioned in canon, so we can have a page about him. I know you've expressed concern about this before, but we generally err on the side of inclusionism here, though we do have a notability policy. See also here where I bring up an important point regarding this matter. ProfessorTofty (talk) 06:07, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

Agriculture is going to have to get much more attention if economic growth and social stability is to be preserved in poor and emerging economies, the World Bank warned in the World Development Report published yesterday. The report called for the agricultural sector to be placed at the centre of the development agenda from now on.
Not only in Sub-Saharan Africa, but also in key emerging markets such as China and India, the agriculture sector must act as a cushion against rising unemployment and growing income disparities that threaten growth and stability, the report suggested. Its an illusion to believe that [the poor] will be absorbed by development outside of agriculture to which most attention, and domestic and foreign investment, is directed at present World Bank chief economist Francois Bourguignon argued at a briefing on the latest WDR.
The report, which is focused on agriculture for the first time, says it has suffered from neglect and underinvestment over the past 20 years, even as public and private investment in emerging economies has expanded dramatically. While 75% of the worlds poor live in rural areas, a mere 4% of official development assistance (ODA) goes to agriculture in developing countries.
World Bank president Robert Zoellick said that a dynamic agriculture for development agenda could benefit, in particular, 900 million people in the developing world who live on less than $1 a day, most of whom are engaged in agriculture.
We need to give agriculture more prominence across the board, he suggested, by cutting subsides, opening markets and giving farmers more say in setting the development agenda. In key emerging markets such as China and India, agriculture contributes on average only 7% to GDP growth, and lagging rural incomes are becoming a major source of political tensions and a threat to social stability, the WDR says.
Dynamism in the rural and agricultural sectors is needed to narrow the rural-urban income gap and reduce rural poverty for 600 million poor people, while avoiding subsidy and protection traps that will stymie growth.

text: Nov 14 3:42 PM CT By Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com IRVING, Texas – If Ben Bass did not live in Plano, Texas, it's doubtful he would have received an invite to the Cowboys' rookie minicamp following the draft. "I really didn't know how the entire process worked, as far as being called as (an undrafted) free agent," Bass said. "I thought you'd get called immediately after the draft. I didn't know anything about getting called on Monday, so that Monday I was actually getting prepared to make a resumé and get out into the real world and work a 9-to-5 and all that other stuff." At 6-foot-5, 283 pounds, Bass had the look of an NFL player, but he did not excel at Texas A&M. But that height and weight earned a call from the Cowboys. "Great example of guy, came in presented with an opportunity," coach Jason Garrett said. "You try to draft guys as well as you can draft them, then you sign guys as well as you can sign them after and you think you know more about some than the other guys. We liked him, but from Day 1 he came in and showed us be belonged here in some way, shape or form. Read the rest: http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowb...n-bass-resume-building-includes-defensive-end

Album review: SlyDigs - Never to be tamed
Last month saw Warrington based rock and rollers 'SlyDigs' release their debut album 'Never To Be Tamed'. Released through West London label Flicknife Records.
Intro track 'Worth your weight in gold' kick starts the punchy rock and roll sound 'SlyDigs' carry throughout their tunes, great riffs, banging solo's and lively, funky choruses. Quick breath and its straight into track two 'Bang,bang & my bullet was gone',.with a 'Pixies' sounding guitar intro backed up by a 'Round our way' saxophone. Front man Dean delivers lyrical poetry before flying into the chorus, nice solo's, great vocals and a lively beat.
Track three 'Stone cold killer' is a great bluesy rock n' roll track followed by track four, the brilliant 'The love that keeps on giving' that kicks off sounding like a top 90′s 'Charlatans' track quickly picking up pace to get your head banging to some amazing riffs and delivery to resemble the best of 'Primal Scream', this song wouldn't be out of place on a Glastonbury sunny afternoon shared with a Jamaican Woodbine Brilliantly uplifting!
The next track has to be good to follow that, and it is! The title track of the album 'Never to be tamed'. Another top intro had me bending my head to the speaker waiting for the drums to get rolling and the riffs to kick in – and they didn't disappoint. I can't help thinking this would be a great track to close a SlyDigs show, an encore, a summing up showing off the attitude, confidence and swagger of this band with the chorus lyrics – "I am a lion..never to be tamed". A great way to say "This is us, this was us, see you next time".
All the tracks on the album are written by front man Dean Fairhurst, with the exception of track eight and the next track, six – 'Something to believe in' which was co-written by Louis Menguy, founder member and guitarist in the band. Its starts a little slower in comparison to the previous tracks but as the song progresses so does the tempo leading up to an energetic rock n' roll climax.
Track seven 'She's my rattlesnake' has hints of American blues rock with psychedelic edges and country riffs combined to deliver a warm, happy tune contradictory to the chorus lyrics – "She's my rattlesnake". Caution though, will have you walking round singing "woo hoo, woo hoo…yeahhh".
'I can't wait forever' is the next track and the second that was co-written with Louis, straight into 'SlyDigs' rock n' roll territory from the off, a proper tune, i don't know whether to play air guitar, air drums or sing…so f**k it, i'll do all three!
Track nine is a personal favorite of ours – 'Bitter end' gets flying with Kravitz style stand out guitars and gentle rolling drums leading to a brilliantly crafted, funky chorus, a dance floor hit at gigs.
'Hellfire blues' next on the album features haunting vocals, slow guitars and subtle drums maintaining the rhythm throughout with guitar solo's and toe tapping beats thrown in. A different feel to the other more up tempo tracks and a glimpse at SlyDigs diversity then BOOM – 'Electric love', and your right back deep in SlyDigs rock n' roll turf. Speedy guitar work, banging drums and a stomping groove.
The final track on the album is 'Aint no place like knowhere', delivered with crisp vocals with hints of 'Be here now', closing the album in true Digs style! SlyDigs – Never To Be Tamed ,out now on Amazon.
SlyDigs are also Mancunia's featured artist for October 2012, read it here - http://www.mancuniapromotions.co.uk/featured-artist-slydigs/

BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks depreciate more slowly than passenger cars -- and here's a look at five 2014 SUVs and trucks that seem likely to lose their value the slowest of them all.
"Whether a vehicle retains its value well really comes down to basic economics: the balance between supply and demand," says Eric Ibara of Kelley Blue Book, which recently honored some two dozen 2014 cars, trucks and SUVs with the firm's 12th annual Best Resale Value Awards.
KBB believes the winning models will depreciate the least over the next five years of any offering in each vehicle's respective class.
That's good news for people who buy the winning rides, as depreciation is one of the biggest "expenses" car owners face. For example, KBB predicts that the average 2014 will lose 60.3% of its original value to depreciation by 2019.
But the firm recently analyzed millions of used-vehicle sales to identify those models that seem likely to depreciate far less. Judges added their picks for low-depreciation 2014s based on each model's appearance, performance, features and popularity with consumers.
Ibara says vehicle shoppers worried about depreciation might start by steering clear of passenger cars and focusing on SUVs or trucks instead; KBB predicts that the average 2014 SUV or truck's value will decline by 58.3% over five year, whereas the typical 2014 sedan or hatchback will lose 62.2%.
That might not seem like such a big difference, but it translates into nearly $2,000 if you buy a $50,000 SUV or truck this year instead of a $50,000 passenger car.
Ibara says SUVs hang onto their value better because they're harder to come by in the resale market. "There are just more cars out there," he says.
As for trucks, the expert believes pickups tend to retain more of their value partly due to customer loyalty. "Truck buyers tend to be very loyal to their chosen brand," Ibara says.
Click below to check out the 2014 SUVs and trucks KBB predicts will depreciate the least in percentage terms over five years in some of the most popular market segments. (Or click here to see five 2014 passenger cars that the firm expects will retain their value best.)
Dollar figures refer to manufacturer's suggested retail prices for each 2014's base version, while estimated resale values reflect an average estimate for all of a model's various trim lines.
Best crossover/compact SUV: Jeep Wrangler
Estimated value after five years: 58% of what you paid
Ibara says the Jeep Wrangler's one-of-a-kind look should help the $22,395 model hold its value better than rival small SUVs from Honda (HMC), Toyota (TM) or other automakers.
"If you're just in the market for a compact utility vehicle, you can look at the Honda CR-V or the Toyota RAV4 or a lot of other strong choices -- but if you want something that looks like a Jeep Wrangler, there really aren't any alternatives," he says.
All Wranglers come standard with plenty of features to handle bad weather and off-road driving. For instance, even base models feature four-wheel drive, a six-speed manual transmission, a detachable soft-cloth top, high- and low-range transfer case gears and a 285-horsepower V-6 engine.

Driver Screening and Evaluation Program
Volume II: Maryland Pilot Older Driver Study
The measures obtained during the Maryland Pilot Older Driver Study included low-cost "first-tier" indicators of functional status; selected computer-based tests offering potentially greater specificity and/or more objective and standardizable measurement capabilities; and questionnaire responses describing (self-reported) driving habits and health problems of study participants. The materials and procedures involved in collecting the functional performance and questionnaire data for the identified study samples are described below. Key driving abilities associated with each included measure are also noted.
The pilot study was designed to examine the validity and evaluate the administrative feasibility of measuring functional status as a driver screening and evaluation program activity. Thus, multiple criteria were applied in defining a battery of candidate measures of perceptual-cognitive and physical functions important for safe driving. These included brevity; low cost; and the ability to be administered by either professionals or volunteers, with limited training, in diverse settings; plus an expectation that the selected procedures would be the most valid indicators of gross changes in functional status for key driving abilities, based on a synthesis of prior research.
The goal of assembling a battery of gross indicators of functional ability deserves emphasis. There was a very explicit recognition that the selected measures could lack the sensitivity and specificity claimed by more sophisticated tests administered by specialists under controlled conditions. But the need in this research to identify the most scientifically valid and practical tools for program administrators was paramount; these considerations jointly served as the defining attributes of the gross impairments screening (GRIMPS) battery applied in the Maryland effort.
The GRIMPS battery included five perceptual-cognitive and four physical abilities measures, as described in the following pages. As an adjunct to the GRIMPS battery, one component of the Useful Field of View test protocol was included in the pilot study, under the sponsorship of the National Institute on Aging.1 To conform to the time-of-testing limitations associated in this research with "first-tier" screening, the full protocol (see page 21)--which can require 20 minutes or more to complete--was abbreviated to provide the type of functional assessment deemed most valuable in the context of this study.2 Briefly, the Useful Field of View Subtest 2 was used; this subtest, instead of examining differences in the size of drivers' area of visual attention, measured the peripheral target duration required for correct detection by a driver, at a single angle of eccentricity. This procedure is described in more detail below.
Five tests were chosen to measure perceptual-cognitive abilities: the Motor-Free Visual Perception Test (Visual Closure subtest); Delayed Recall; a Scan Chart test to detect visual neglect; the Trail-Making test (Part B); and a PC-based variant of the Trails B procedure using a dynamic traffic scene instead of a blank background.
First, the Visual Closure subtest of the Motor-Free Visual Perception Test (MVPT/VC), was used to detect poor visual pattern perception and as a measure of the ability to visualize missing information. The MVPT is a multiple-choice test that measures a person's ability to visualize incomplete figures when only fragments are presented (Colarusso and Hammil, 1972).
This ability is important to the driving task, insofar as drivers must recognize a sign or other traffic control device that is only partly visible, or quickly perceive the safety threat represented by a vehicle or pedestrian that is partially obstructed (e.g., by a building or parked car) at the side of the road, and may be about to move into the driver's path.
The MVPT stimulus booklet for the Visual Closure practice item and Visual Closure stimulus items 22 through 32 are required to administer this test. To begin, the test administrator shows the examinee an example containing a practice figure and four alternative figure fragments (see figure 2). He/she points to the four alternative figures, saying, "If you finished drawing these figures, which one would look just like the one above? Please point to the correct alternative." After the examinee responds, the examiner points to the correct alternative, then to the stimulus figure, saying, "Yes (No), if we added these lines, this one would look just like this." Then the examiner proceeds to the actual test items stating "Now I'd like you to do the same thing for the figures I'm about to show you."
The MVPT/VC test includes eleven test items, each showing a target figure above four alternatives as in the example in figure 2. The only response required from the examinee is that he or she point to whichever one of four alternatives is correct. The examinee is not allowed to trace any figures. The test administrator encourages the examinee to look at all four alternatives before making a final decision. This is not a timed test, and the examinee must be given a reasonable amount of time (about 15 or 20 seconds) to answer each test item. No confirmation or feedback was given for the examinee's responses. The test administrator scores the responses by marking the appropriate space on an accompanying scoring sheet, then presents the next item, until all eleven responses have been obtained. At the conclusion of the test, the test administrator records the total number of incorrect responses given by the examinee. This procedure was designed to be completed by most examinees within 3 minutes.
The Delayed Recall test, from the Mini-Mental Status Examination (Folstein, Folstein, and McHugh, 1975), was used in GRIMPS as a measure of working memory. Working memory is important to safe driving because it allows a driver to recognize and remember the meaning of traffic control devices and roadway features; to remember and apply rules of the road and safe driving practices; and to perform navigational tasks that require the sequential recall of route-following instructions while actively searching for navigational cues and meeting moment-to-moment demands for hazard detection and vehicle control.
In performing this brief (~30 sec) test, the examinee was required to repeat back as many of a probe set of three words presented earlier in the Cued Recall test as possible, when requested by the test administrator. As per MMSE procedures, the Cued-Recall test was used to confirm understanding of the 3-word probe set that the examinee was required to remember for later recall. The probe set ('bed', 'apple', 'shoe,' or one of three equivalent alternative word sets) was initially presented by the test administrator, who stated, "I'm going to say 3 short words now as a memory test. Please repeat them back to me." If the examinee could not repeat all 3 words, they were presented again, up to a maximum of 6 times. After successful repetition by the examinee, the test administrator said, "I will ask you again later to remember these same 3 words and say them to me." Delayed Recall was measured, approximately 10 minutes later after a number of intervening procedures in the test battery had been completed, by asking the examinee to recall same memory (probe) set repeated earlier. Performance was scored as the number of items recalled correctly.
The Scan Chart test developed for this project was based on the Brain Injury Visual Assessment Battery for Adults (BiVABA) ScanBoard (Warren, 1990), following the recommendation by an Occupational Therapist and Certified Driving Rehabilitation Specialist (OT/CDRS) active in the MRC that a screening procedure was needed to rule out neglect of one side of the visual field (hemianopia) while driving. This is a deficit associated with recovering stroke/cerebral vascular accidents (CVA's). The research literature also documents driving impairment resulting from age-related effects combined with the effects of visual field losses in older patients with CVA's (Szlyk, Brigell and Seiple, 1993).
The Scan Chart developed for GRIMPS measured 140 cm by 22 cm (55 in by 8.5 in), and contained 10 common symbols arranged in 2 rows of 5 columns each (see figure 3). With the chart held at eye level, one arm length in front of the examinee by the test administrator, the examinee must identify each shape without turning his or her head (i.e., scanning is accomplished by eye movement only). Specifically, the test administrator stated, "Without moving your head, scan the chart and identify each shape you see. Please name all the shapes you see in any order that you wish." The examinee's verbal report indicates a normal scanning pattern vs. hemi-neglect. A normal scan pattern of a cognitively-intact individual may be any of three: (1) rectilinear (left to right/top to bottom); (2) clockwise; or (3) counterclockwise. Drivers with impaired scanning capabilities demonstrate disorganized, random and/or abbreviated or truncated strategies. Those with hemi-neglect often show an asymmetrical pattern, initiating visual search from the right side rather than the left and confining all search efforts to the right side. Also, whereas intact persons do not overlook or repeat a stimulus on this test, those with impaired scanning abilities may commit both of these errors. The test administrator scored performance as normal, versus erratic (haphazard pattern) or neglect (two or more shapes ignored) on this procedure. Administration time for the Scan Chart test was gauged at under one minute.
The Trail-making test, Part B, was used to measure participants' abilities to perform a directed visual search and to divide attention effectively (Reitan, 1958). This is a continuous demand when navigating a route in the information-rich, visually complex driving environments common to cities and suburbs. As per clinical applications of this procedure, Part A was administered first; as described below, this afforded examinees practice on the aspect of the test devoted to directed search for an ordered sequence of test stimuli, before introducing the divided attention aspect of the test.
Specifically, in the Trail-making test the examinee uses a pencil to connect a sequence of numbers (integers) or a mix of numbers and letters, printed on a blank piece of paper, in ascending order as quickly as possible. Part A of the test contains only numbers; Part B contains numbers and letters that must be connected in an alternating fashion. Performance is timed. If an error is made during the test, it is pointed out by the test administrator, who instructs the examinee to continue with the test from the last correct connection. The clock does not stop during error correction. In both Part A and Part B, the time-to-complete all items is the examinee's score, measured to the nearest second. Only Part B was scored for GRIMPS. Longer times connote poorer performance on this test; the maximum value scored for this procedure was 6 minutes, at which point the test was discontinued.
As applied in GRIMPS, Part A was abbreviated to contain only the numbers 1-8 instead of 1-25 as used in clinical applications. This shortened the test administration time while still providing examinees some understanding of what they would be expected to do in the Trails B procedure. First, examinees received the following instructions for the (abbreviated) Trails A procedure: "Now I will give you paper and pencil. On the paper are the numbers 1 through 8, scattered across the page. Starting with 1, use the pencil to draw a line to connect each number to the next higher number. I will time how fast you can do this. Ready? Go." After this was completed, the examiner placed a practice version of Trails B containing only four numbers and four letters in front of the examinee and said, "Now you will do the same thing, only this time with numbers and letters, like you see in this example. This time, start with 1, then draw a line to A, then continue the line to 2, then to B, then 3-C, 4-D, alternating back and forth between numbers and letters." This practice was not timed. After pointing out any errors and insuring that the examinee understood the test requirement, the test administrator said: "On the other side of this sheet of paper the numbers 1 through 13 and the letters A through L are mixed up in the same way. Starting with the number 1, draw a continuous line that alternates between numbers and letters, until you finish with the number 13. I will time how fast you can do this." The test sheet was then turned over, and the test administrator said, "Ready? Go," while directing the examinee to place his/her pencil at the starting point (number 1). The Trails B test sheet is shown in figure 4. The planned duration to provide instructions and to conduct the abbreviated Trails A procedure, the Trails B practice exercise and the actual Trails B screening measure, together was 5 to 6 minutes.
A variant of the Trails B procedure was developed for GRIMPS to further increase the divided attention demands of the test. This "Dynamic Trails" procedure used a PC to present a similar mix of numbers and letters, but they were overlaid on a background that showed moving traffic, versus the blank background used in the paper-and-pencil version of the test. The dynamic traffic scene was stored on the hard drive of the computer as an MPEG file. Examinees' responses were registered on a touch screen using a light pen. If an error was made, an audible buzz sounded, and the computer prompted the examinee to return to the last correct letter or number in the sequence, which was identified for the examinee. This protocol was designed to remove an element of subjectivity in the way instructions are delivered and errors are corrected by test administrators.
A shorter set of test stimuli was used for the Dynamic Trails procedure, containing only the numbers 1-7 and the letters A-G. This reduced the anticipated test duration to under 3 minutes. A data file of the examinee's performance was generated which included the time-to-complete, as well as the exact time of every response during the test (including error responses); plus identifying information entered by the test administrator.
The final perceptual-cognitive measure applied to collect functional status information in the Maryland Pilot Older Driver Study was subtest 2 of the Useful Field of View battery that has been shown through prior research to be significantly related to crash involvement (Owsley, Ball, Sloane, Roenker, and Bruni, 1991; Owsley, Ball, McGwin, Sloane, Roenker, White, and Overley, 1998). Aspects of visual attention addressed by this procedure include the detection, localization and identification of suprathreshold targets in complex displays. Using a PC-based test apparatus that displays central and peripheral targets within a 35-degree radius visual field, three variables can be manipulated--target presentation duration, the competing attentional demands of the central and peripheral detection tasks, and the salience of the peripheral targets.
The complete Useful Field of View protocol includes three subtests that, together, provide a measure of the percentage reduction of the maximum 35-degree radius field. An abbreviated version of the first subtest, which measures processing speed capability and vigilance, was used as practice for the second subtask, which measures divided attention capabilities; this was the specific measure of interest for this study. During the practice, examinees were required to identify a centrally-located object which varied in duration, by pressing an icon of a truck or a car (whichever was presented) on the touch-screen display, after the target was presented. Subtest 2 required this same identification; but in addition, the examinee was required to locate a simultaneously-presented peripheral target of varying eccentricity (these could appear in eight locations, spaced near the edge of the computer screen every 45 degrees around the central target) as quickly as possible. The response format for subtest 2 is presented in figure 5. Subtest 3 was not used in this research. Differences in response latency measured via a touch screen for targets presented in a visual field of constant size was therefore the dependent variable acquired in the Maryland research, not differences in the size of drivers' "useful field of view" per se.
Examinees used a light pen to identify central targets and to locate peripheral targets. They were given a chance to practice with the device before being tested-an important control to minimize differences between drivers on Subtest 2 due to a "practice effect." The instructions for the example exercise were as follows: "For this test, you will see an object--either a car or a truck--inside of the box in the middle of the screen. The object will stay on for a short period of time and then disappear. You will need to decide whether it was a car or a truck and then touch the light pen on the car or truck icon on your screen in the answer section." After the examinee completed the practice session, he/she was given the opportunity for more practice or to begin the test. The instructions for Subtest 2 were as follows: "The car or truck icon will again be presented in the middle of the screen, and will disappear. After the object disappears you will see another object presented on one of the 8 spokes radiating from the center of the screen. You will need to identify whether the object in the center was a car or a truck, by touching your answer with the light pen, and then touch the light pen to the location where the second object was presented on one of the 8 spokes." The length of the display varied in duration, depending upon performance; it was adjusted until a 75% correct threshold was attained. Accordingly, the examinee's score which was the briefest duration of peripheral target presentation that could be correctly identified, in milliseconds; this measure was recorded to a data file by the computer. It was anticipated that the instructions, practice, and completion of Subtest 2 as described above could be accomplished in approximately 5 minutes.
Measures of physical ability incorporated into GRIMPS included tests of lower limb strength, endurance, and coordination; and upper body flexibility. These procedures, as they were administered in the Maryland Pilot Older Driver Study, are described below.
Leg strength, endurance, and coordination were measured using two different but related procedures: the Rapid Pace Walk and the Foot Tap tests. Each procedure was designed to be completed in less than 1 minute. The physical abilities targeted in these tests were those needed to sustain pedal control without fatigue and to quickly and accurately shift back and forth from the accelerator to the brake pedal when circumstances demand it. Also, a gait that is slowed significantly could be indicative of a higher risk of falling, which is related to crash risk as well (Marottoli, Cooney, Wagner, Doucette, and Tinetti, 1994).
For the Rapid Pace Walk, an examinee walked along a 3-m (10-ft) path marked with tape on the floor then returned along the same path to starting point, as quickly as possible. The instructions to the examinee were as follows: "I want you to walk along the side of this tape line to the end, turn around, and walk back here as quickly as you can." The test administrator demonstrated the walk and path, then said: "I am going to time you. Go as fast as you feel safe and comfortable. If you use a cane or walker, you may use it if you feel more comfortable. Ready, begin." Timing started when the examinee picked up the first foot, and stopped when the last foot reached start/finish point. The total time to traverse the 3-m (10-ft) path up and back (total of 6 m [20 ft] walked) was manually recorded by the test administrator, using a stopwatch.
For the Foot Tap test, a 75-mm (3-in) binder was used. The open binder was placed on the floor in front of a chair, where the examinee was sitting, oriented such that the rings were crosswise in front of the examinee, and such that the examinee could place his/her foot flat on the floor beside the rings while seated in the chair with the (right) foot extended slightly forward of the knee. The examinee was instructed: "Please place your feet on each side of this binder. Now move your left foot under the chair so it will be out of the way." The test administrator then tapped across the rings, alternately touching the floor on each side, as an example, while continuing with the following instructions: "When I say go, move your right foot back and forth, lifting it over the rings, alternately tapping the floor on each side of the binder. Tap each side five times for a total of 10 taps. I will time how quickly you can do this. Ready? Go." The test administrator manually recorded the time to complete the foot tapping task with a stopwatch.
To measure upper body flexibility, the GRIMPS battery included an Arm Reach and a Head-Neck Rotation test. Each procedure was designed to be completed in less than 1 minute. Upper body flexibility is needed to turn the steering wheel quickly in an emergency, and to look to the sides and over the shoulder to the rear to check for approaching traffic when merging and changing lanes.
For the Arm Reach test, an examinee was asked to raise each arm as high as possible over his/her head. To pass, the arm had to be raised so that the elbow was above shoulder height. Instructions for this procedure were as follows: "Please raise your right arm as high as you can over your head. You may put your arm down... Now please raise your left arm as high as you can over your head." The test administrator recorded "pass" and "fail" scores manually, for each arm.
For the Head Neck Rotation test, the examinee sat in a chair equipped with a seat belt; this restricted his/her ability to pivot at the waist to look to the rear instead of turning the head, neck, and upper torso, as required when driving. The test administrator checked the seat belt to insure that it was tightly fastened, then moved to a position 3 m (10 ft) behind the examinee at a pre-marked location and held up a cardboard clock face with the hands set to either the 3:00 or 9:00 position. The instructions to the examinee were as follows: "Just as you would turn your head and upper body to look behind you to back your car or change lanes, please turn and read the time on the clock face I am holding behind you." If the examinee could not turn far enough in one direction to read the clock, he/she was asked to try turning the other way. The test was scored as a "pass" if the examinee could read the clock. The test administrator manually recorded the "pass" or "fail" outcome.
Self-report data describing driving habits and providing categorical estimates of the level of driving exposure were obtained for the study samples in the Maryland Pilot Older Driver Study using a "mobility questionnaire." The Mobility Questionnaire sought information about avoidance of specific driving situations, plus mobility-related health issues such as falls, or difficulty in walking or in climbing stairs, that have been correlated with crashes in previous research (Sims, Owsley, Allman, Ball, and Smoot, 1998; Koepsell, Wolf, McCloskey, Buchner, Louie, Wagner, and Thompson, 1994; Marottoli, Cooney, Wagner, Doucette, and Tinetti, 1994). The data collection instrument is shown in figure 6.
The intent behind the development and application of the Mobility Questionnaire was to characterize the study samples in terms of their self-imposed limitations in the amount of miles driven, and/or in the situations they choose to drive, and if possible, to identify relationships between such self-regulating behaviors and the indicators of functional status and the safety measures obtained in the pilot study. Notwithstanding inherent problems with the precision and reliability of self-report data, the responses of the older drivers to the questionnaire items could provide valuable insight into the extent to which safety problems linked to functional decline might be mitigated by self-regulation.
The Mobility Questionnaire was administered after completion of the functional testing battery for the License Renewal and Medical Referral samples, and either before or after functional testing for the Residential Community sample depending upon whether participants in this study group had to wait to be screened. Responses were recorded on the paper form shown in figure 6, then were entered into a spreadsheet program for later analysis.

As the two leaders continue to square up over a second United Nations resolution over Iraq, Downing Street confirmed that the official gift was one of a number Mr Blair has chosen to keep during his premiership.
The pen is part of an extensive list of gifts given to Mr Blair and other ministers by foreign governments, companies and others.
The release of the list follows controversy after Downing Street initially rejected a recommendation from the Parliamentary Ombudsman that items should be disclosed to the public.
But the list only includes items considered to be worth more than £140, meaning that small gifts given to ministers will remain unknown.
Ministerial code
The list reveals that most of the items are held by government departments and includes works of art, watches, wine and jewellery.
According to the list, gifts given to the prime minister include three guitars - one of them from rock star Bryan Adams.
There is also a dagger from the Sultan of Oman, a nativity scene from Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and a selection of mementoes of a G8 summit, including a dressing gown.
Mr Blair chose to pay for a £275 camera, a wooden screen from Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf, a painting from China, two tennis rackets from a sports firm and a ring from an anonymous admirer.
He donated three hampers, given to him last Christmas, to charity.
Ministerial gifts
At least one item, an Arab sword given to a Scottish Office minister, is to be displayed in a museum.
Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon was given a silver eagle by the Government of Albania and a pen by US defence technology firm General Dynamics.
Other gifts given to ministers include a tie, two walking sticks, an Argentinian cigar box and a Bahraini coffee pot.
The Muslim Council of Britain presented Home Secretary David Blunkett with a painting while his ministers were also given a rug from the government of Afghanistan.
Lord Chancellor Lord Irvine was given a porcelain tea set, a Chinese painting, a card holder and a collection of prints
from various foreign governments. A junior in his department was given an engraved trowel from a building firm.
Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, a former ship's steward, was presented with a model ship along with a camera, two brooches, a necklace and cufflinks by a number of firms in September last year, at the time of the TUC conference in Blackpool.
Several departments have declared receiving no gifts over the £140 mark.
The register will appear annually and has come after the Guardian newspaper made a complaint to the Parliamentary Ombudsman over Downing Street's refusal to reveal the list.

James Cameron Talks The Avatar Sequels
'It's a family saga like The Godfather....'
Work is proceeding apace on the Avatar sequels, especially now that James Cameron has hired a team of writers to work with him on the second, third and fourth trips to Pandora. He's just opened up to the Associated Press (spotted via The Hollywood Reporter) about what we can all expect. There's nothing particularly revelatory here, but Cameron seems enthused for the future, at least.
"At first I thought I was going to take it onto other worlds as well, in the same solar system, but it turned out not to be necessary," the director told the Associated Press. "I mean, the Pandora that we have imagined will be a fantasyland that is going to occupy people for decades to come, the way I see it."
But if you thought it was all going to be diving into the moon's oceans, it appears Cameron has other ideas. Perhaps he's sick of sea missions after all that diving? "There's a fair bit of underwater stuff. It's been inaccurately said that the second film takes place underwater. That's not true. There are underwater scenes and surface-water scenes having to do with indigenous ocean cultures that are distributed across the three films."
As for the story of the new films, especially given that the first Avatar was criticised for its less-than-revelatory plot, "It's really the story of Jake Sully's family, the family that he creates on Pandora. His extended family. So think of it as a family saga like The Godfather." Careful with the comparisons there, chief.
One final bit of Avatar news: like the original film, the sequels will be shot in New Zealand thanks to a new tax deal from the country, and Cameron plans to relocate his family to work on at least the production of the new films there. He and Peter Jackson will be divvying up the filmmaking talent to make sure they both have enough crew to work on their various projects. The Avatar sequels are now expected for late 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Jessica Simpson has quashed rumours she is to star in a remake of 'Working Girl'.It had been reported that the 'Dukes of Hazzard' actress was going to play Tess McGill - an aspiring businesswoman, who was played by Melanie Griffith in the original - in a reworking of the popular 80s film.Jessica insists she has no plans to appear in the movie and is currently busy with other projects.She said: "I don't know where those rumours came from. I'm making a film called 'Blonde Ambition' that I'm doing with Luke Wilson."Jessica believes the confusion may have arisen because her new film has a similar plot to 'Working Girl'.She added: "It's along the same lines as 'Working Girl'. A small town girl moving to New York and turning into a great businesswoman."Apart from Griffith, the original 'Working Girl' cast included a host of top Hollywood stars, such as Harrison Ford, Sigourney Weaver, Kevin Spacey and Alec Baldwin.
