|TechShop Announces Intel Sponsorship and Plans for Intel Technology Workshops
|Sponsorship also secures plans for new Silicon Valley TechShop location
MENLO PARK, Calif.
, October 10, 2013 --
TechShop, a membership-based, do-it-yourself workshop and fabrication studio, today announced that Intel Corporation is its newest corporate sponsor. The companies plan to collaborate on a series of workshops giving thousands of TechShop members hands-on access to Intel technology. The workshops will feature Intel's recently announced Intel® Galileo, the first in a line of Arduino-compatible development boards based on Intel® architecture.
Intel Galileo combines the performance of Intel technology and the ease of the Arduino software development environment. Intel Galileo features the Intel® Quark SoC X1000, the first product from the Intel® Quark technology family of low-power, small-core products. Designed for the maker and education communities, the development board is easy to use for new designers and for those looking to take designs to the next level.
Intel's sponsorship also solidifies TechShop's plan to move and rebuild its original Menlo Park location, offering a new state-of-the art facility that will also serve as TechShop's company headquarters.
"We're thrilled to work with Intel to create a new innovation hub in Silicon Valley and new coursework for TechShop members nationwide," said Mark Hatch, CEO of TechShop. "Intel is a true champion of innovation and this sponsorship furthers our mission of helping makers and entrepreneurs of all ages build their dreams and explore new ideas."
TechShop has been the birthplace for scores of invention prototypes, including Square, Embrace, underwater submarine robots, bipedal robot legs, and many more. This sponsorship reflects Intel's commitment to encourage innovation whether it takes place in a corporation, a classroom, a garage, or (the ultimate garage) a TechShop.
"We applaud TechShop's mission of providing its members with digital and physical tools to make almost anything," said Mike Bell, vice president and general manager of the New Devices Group at Intel. "We look forward to TechShop's new Silicon Valley location and to putting the power of Intel technology into the hands of TechShop members everywhere so they can make whatever they dream up even better."
With more than 5,500 members and six locations nationwide, TechShop is democratizing the access to tools of innovation by providing at each location more than $1 million worth of high quality machines, tools and software, such as 3D printers, waterjets, laser cutters, industrial sewing machines, digital prototyping software, among others. TechShop is upending the traditional paradigm of innovation by empowering entrepreneurs and makers to invent the next big thing with quicker time-to-market.

The MeccoMark fiber laser marking system from Mecco Marking and Traceability facilitates integration with factory automation networks using Ethernet/IP protocol. Along with embedded control technology, this integration capability is said to save time and money by eliminating the need for custom programming of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Instead, factory-floor PLCs can control laser marking systems, simplifying the communication process to one PLC for loading, configuring and marking a job file.
The versatile marking system features a universal rail design and accommodates power options ranging from 10 to 50 W. The fiber laser is equipped with an upgraded scanhead for faster marking speeds, an LCD screen for improved diagnostic capabilities and a sealed laser rail for better component protection in harsh industrial environments.

Maybe its sacrilege, but I had some left over matambre I made using the How to Grill recipe, so I put some in quesadillas and thought, not bad.
Then a light went off. I got a fryer for christmas, so I rolled the rest up in tortillas and fried it like a chimichanga.
Some might think that's plain wrong, but darn if it wasn't good.
I call it Chimitambre.

Today while looking through news headlines online, I noticed "India's First Married Lesbian Couple Under Constant Police Protection" from the Oregon-based LGBT website Just Out. And further down the list of headlines was this one: "In a first, Gurgaon court recognizes lesbian marriage," taken from The Times of India.
I read both stories, trying to piece together as much information as possible about this historic couple, and about the apparently constant state of danger in which they live. Then I went out and started looking for other news reports about the couple, since the two referenced above seemed to contradict each other in a couple of places. The Hindustan Times in Indian offered this report. The headline here reads "Same-sex couple fears for life."
There are a few things I am not quite sure on yet — for instance, the Times of India story talks about "khap panchayats," and I don't know what those are. But since these "khap panchayats" have been linked to so-called "honor killings," I am pretty sure they aren't good.
But here is the story as I understand it, based on what I have read so far:
Beena, 20, and Savita, 25, have been friends for many years, maybe as long as 15 years. Beena (spelled"Veena" in one report) has always been very boyish, and has always been accepted by her family who treat her as a boy. Savita, who is studying for a college degree, was forced by her family to marry a man late last year. Within five months, she ran away from her husband, got a divorce from a khap panchayat and went to live with Beena.
On July 22, according to Times of India, the two women went to a public notary in Gurgaon and got married by signing an affidavit that said, basically, they were marrying each other and were not being coerced into doing so. Then they ended up going to court to ask for police protection because certain people — namely members of Savita's own family — were threatening to kill them because through their relationship they had besmirched the honor of Savita's family.
In court proceedings, as best I can tell, the judge basically gave their marriage legal recognition simply by not disputing their declarations that they were married.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Just 45 minutes from my house by car there's a spacious and inviting Whole Foods Market ( WFM). Frankly, I seldom shop there.The main reason is because there's a locally owned and operated business in my community that sells only natural and organic food and other supplies. Like WFM, that company has an abundant "bulk" department where I can scoop out just the right amount of organic bran flakes for my breakfast and organic dried tart cherries that make my eyeballs roll back in their sockets with pleasure when I eat them. Plus, my local natural-food store gives me exceptional service with caring employees. Recently I drove by what used to be an abandoned Mongolian restaurant and noticed it had been leveled and a new building was being erected. It looked spacious and had lots of convenient parking. The sign out front read "Natural Grocers opening May 29." It's right down the road from our locally owned natural-food store.
When I arrived back at my office, I did some research and discovered that this new store is a part of a publicly traded company named Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage ( NGVC). The story of this company's origins reads like a dream come true for a hard-working couple from Golden, Colo. (Yes, the same city where Coors beer is brewed.) NGVC was built on the premise that consumers should have access to affordable, high-quality foods and dietary supplements, with nutritional guidance to help them support their own health. The family-run store has grown into a successful national chain with locations across Colorado, Texas, Utah, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Missouri, New Mexico, Montana, Kansas, Idaho, Nebraska, Arizona and Oregon. Altogether, the company has 1,800 employees. A news release about Natural Grocers, which is still managed by the original founding family, is worth reading. You'll learn about the company's culture and what, in my opinion, makes it a viable form of competition to WFM's near-monopoly until now. It's been a great run for both WFM and NGVC so far. Perhaps that's why the stock market has granted both a very generous forward price-to-earnings ratio for the stock of each company. WFM, with a market cap of almost $15.4 billion, trades at nearly 25 times forward (one-year) earnings. At the moment, it's trading near its 52-week low of $81.55 and pays an 80-cent dividend.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
To diagnose amnesia, a doctor will do a comprehensive evaluation to rule out other possible causes of memory loss, such as Alzheimer's disease, other forms of dementia, depression or brain tumor.
The evaluation starts with a detailed medical history. Because the person with memory loss may not be able to provide thorough information, a family member, friend or another caregiver generally takes part in the interview as well.
The doctor will ask many questions to understand the memory loss. Issues that might be addressed include:
The physical examination may include a neurological exam to check reflexes, sensory function, balance, and other physiological aspects of the brain and nervous system.
The doctor will test the person's thinking, judgment, and recent and long-term memory. He or she will check the person's knowledge of general information — such as the name of the current president — as well as personal information and past events.
The memory evaluation can help determine the extent of memory loss and provide insights about what kind of help the person may need.
Imaging tests — including MRI and CT scan — may be ordered to look for damage or abnormalities in the brain. Blood tests can check for infection, nutritional deficiencies or other issues. An electroencephalogram may be ordered to look for the presence of seizure activity.

Remember that our new challenge involves strength training. While I showed you several upper body exercises last week, there are more components to having a strong and healthy body than just bicep curls and shoulder presses.
In fact, too many people trying to improve their fitness focus only on cardiovascular activities and upper-body weight lifting, usually neglecting lower body training. This can be a big problem - lower body strength is critical for muscular symmetry, posture improvement, and the metabolic benefits of strength training.
Lower body strength training is important for many - including older people at risk of serious injury from falling and bone fractures. Lower body training improves balance and can markedly improve mobility in those with previous injuries.
Knee and hip injuries are the most common lower body injuries for senior citizens, so it is important for simple strength training exercises to improve coordination, stamina and balance. Muscle strength in the legs also correlates with decreased pain and injury in hip, knee and ankle joints.
Lower body training is for the young, though, too. Athletes of all sports find significant benefits from lower body strength training. Stronger leg muscles require less energy to remain motion; athletes with better lower body strength also have increased stamina.
Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, lower body training reduces the risk of being injured while participating in sports. Runners and other athletes must have strong ankles, knees, and hips in order to stay active and healthy - and simple weight lifting exercises can help promote that health.
Don't have access to a gym and still want to build strength? While some of the lower body exercises we highlight in this week's video can be done anywhere, there are still other ways you can strengthen your legs without a gym membership. One of the simplest is to climb several flights of stairs every day. The energy expended is used almost entirely in the lower half of your body, and this activity promotes balance and single-leg strength.
Speaking of single-leg strength, focusing on exercises one leg at a time goes a long way to improving balance and preventing injury. Single-leg training is also important for runners, specifically, who rely on each leg individually throughout the rotation of their running mechanics.
Step-ups, lunges, and the single-leg dead lift (shown in the video) are great choices to promote single-leg strength and joint stability, while working to prevent injury.
Just like with the upper body exercises, it can take a while to establish your lower body strength training routine. Use these exercises as a base, and strengthen those legs while focusing on preventing injury. Next week, we'll focus on core strength training exercises, posture, and lower back safety in our third and final installment of the weight lifting challenge. Tone up!

If you are attempting to save an XDP file in LiveCycle Designer ES2, created with an earlier version of Designer (i.e. 7, 7.1 or ES), then it can occur that the Save process never completes, and you must kill the Designer process manually in Task Manager. If you analyse the files on your local disk, you will notice some tmp files with large file sizes.
This issue is related to the Data Binding option Allow binding to data not defined by the default data connection. For some forms that contain data connections, Designer ES2 can get stuck in an endless loop while saving the XDP to an intermediary tmp file. You will see the tmp file will contain a huge number of repeated entries related to the DataDescription similar to the following:
<DATACONNECTION xmlns:dd="http://ns.adobe.com/data-description/" dd:additions="$template(DATACONNECTION)"/>
This issue has been fixed in LiveCycle Designer ES3 and later cumulative QuickFixes for Designer ES2. You should ensure you are using the latest QF for Designer ES2, or contact your support representative.
Removing the data connection will allow the file to be saved, and also disabling the option in the form properties Allow binding to data not defined by the default data connection. Also putting the sample XML data/schema file used to create the data connection into the same folder as the XDP, opening the XDP, refreshing the Data connection, will then allow to save properly.

The CAMBRA (CAries Management By Risk Assessment) model, developed at the UCSF School of Dentistry by Dean John D.B. Featherstone and colleagues, is a reliable scientific procedure to identify caries (cavities) risk and prevent further caries, and now MyCAMBRA - a new iOS app for iPhones and iPads designed jointly by Drs Peter Rechmann, Richard Kinsel, and Dean Featherstone - enables dental professionals to quickly and easily assess a patient's caries risk.
Perhaps more importantly, the app communicates the assessment to patients clearly and effectively, and engages the patient in an ongoing remediation of of the caries problem.
Risk and remediation fall into four major categories:
- Low Risk: Cariogenic bacteria are in check, and the patient is healthy. Promote daily maintenance to keep caries risk low.
- Moderate Risk: Elevated caries risk is present and requires preventive treatment to avoid a frustrating cycle of drill and fill.
- High Risk: Intense, focused, preventive treatment is required to reduce cariogenic bacteria and lower the caries risk. Chance of new cavities is high.
- Extremely High Risk: Caries is a serious health problem. Aggressive preventive treatment is required to halt the disease and preserve existing teeth.
MyCAMBRA promotes dialogue and allows dental professionals to share health literacy information emphasizing the bacterial causes of caries, promoting better self-care strategies, and delivering a custom care plan targeted to the patient's caries risk level. An interactive "Risk Meter" presents the assessed risk and the expected effects of treatment graphically, with easy-to-understand treatment instructions, and an ongoing documentation of progress encourages the patient's continued involvement. HIPAA compliance is assured, using patient-specific encryption.
Dean Featherstone describes MyCAMBRA as a step into the new world of precision medicine, with CAMBRA taking hold in dental practices around the world.
Created in joint partnership between the UCSF School of Dentistry and Firsthand Technology, the MyCAMBRA app is available from the iTunes store and at www.mycambra.com [1], for iPhones 4 and 5, and for all iPads.
Possible future enhancements to the app are being considered, such as location services that could direct patients to MyCAMBRA-certified dentists.

Equipped with powerful TimeZero™ technology, NavNet TZtouch will completely transform the way you navigate. You can scroll, pan, zoom in/out with a smooth, fast and seamless graphics engine. Navigating in a fully 3D environment offers you a true perspective and wider area of view around the ship, which allows you to better plan your routes, while TimeZero technology updates the information on your screen with virtually no redraw.
Chart Plotter
NavNet TZtouch is the only chart plotter on the market that provides users the ability to choose from official NOAA raster and vector charts, or optional "C-Map by Jeppesen" and "Datacore by Navionics" vector cartography, etc. Fully integrating a cutting-edge data algorithm with a high-resolution image processing technique, MapMedia delivers digital navigation charts and satellite photography with absolute clarity. MapMedia vector and raster charts are built upon 3D architecture, which is smoothly integrated with NavNet's TimeZero™ technology.
Satellite PhotoFusion™
You can load any two ultra-wide high-resolution satellite photo areas at your convenience. Land areas (zero depth) are completely opaque, so these areas are displayed as high-resolution satellite photos on the chart. As the depth increases, the satellite photography becomes more transparent. This allows you to see where the shallows end and the deeper water begins, while still allowing the raster or vector chart to be visible.
Ultra High Definition (UHD™) Digital Radar
FURUNO has taken its NMEA award-winning radar technology to the next level with Ultra High Definition Digital Radar. UHD™ offers crystal clear target presentation with automatic, real-time digital signal processing. Antenna rotation speed (24/36/48 rpm) is automatically shifted to the appropriate pulse length. Commercial-grade radar performance is now available in the ultimate MFD navigation suite.

NavNet TZtouch employs revolutionary real-time digital auto Gain/Sea controls to deliver a crystal clear radar presentation. With this new technology, NavNet
TZtouch computes and applies an adaptive omni-directional anti-clutter filter with variable intensity depending on bearing.
NavNet TZtouch's simultaneous scanning technology allows dual progressive scan to display and update two radar pictures, both long and short range, at the same time as opposed to alternate update methods of typical conventional dual range radar. Autonomous control over gain and anti-clutter can be performed on each radar presentation. This can be used to have one screen with the gain set to locate birds and buoys, while you use the other radar screen to navigate.
A Radar image can be overlaid onto the chart screen. Not only is this possible with the conventional 2D chart format, but it can also be projected onto a 3D chart presentation. Radar range scales in the radar chart overlay entirely depend on the range scales in the chart presentation, allowing you to view the radar image on the chart information at any magnification level you desire. (Appropriate heading sensor required.)
Furuno Digital Filter (FDF™) Fish Finder
FURUNO Digital Filter (FDF™) Fish Finders feature advanced filtering capabilities and digital auto tuning, which eliminates noise, while delivering the ability to spot individual fish with clarity, accuracy and detail. Whether it is used for shallow or deep water, FURUNO FDF™ Fish Finders give you what you would expect from a Fish Finder at all times.
FURUNO's award winning network Fish Finders (DFF1/DFF3/BBDS1) offer a unique fish size analyzer function, ACCU-FISH™.

Dodgers unable to reward Magill in stellar debut
Right-hander fans seven in 6 2/3 innings after recall from Triple-A
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers' bullpen squandered a quality start from Matt Magill in his Major League debut and an opportunity to beat the Brewers with a patchwork lineup.
Matt Guerrier served up a two-run homer in the seventh, plus another in the eighth, and the Dodgers lost to the Brewers, 6-4, on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium.
Magill, 23, started in place of Stephen Fife, who was placed on the disabled list before the game with right shoulder bursitis. The right-hander, called up from Triple-A Albuquerque, didn't appear to be rattled under the bright lights and allowed two runs on four hits in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out seven against two walks and made 103 pitches.
"I was just amazed by his confidence and his composure and his ability to slow the game down," catcher A.J. Ellis said. "He was in complete control of his mannerisms and his body and he was great. He was amazing. It was a big pick-me-up for our team."
Magill, ranked No. 7 among the Dodgers' top prospects, walked off the field to a standing ovation in the seventh after striking out Jean Segura to end his outing. As Magill headed to the dugout, it looked as if he would go out a winner with the Dodgers leading, 3-2.
"Walking off the field was awesome," said Magill, who grew up in nearby Simi Valley. "Everyone cheering for me, that was huge and I really appreciate all of it."
But the Brewers rallied against the Dodgers' bullpen to improve to 10-2 in their last 12 games.
Paco Rodriguez relieved Magill and allowed a bunt single to Norichika Aoki. Second baseman Skip Schumaker, starting in place of the injured Mark Ellis, grabbed the slow roller with his bare hand and fired it into the Brewers' dugout, allowing Aoki to move into scoring position.
Guerrier came on for Rodriguez, and Gomez took the right-hander deep to left on a 1-1 curveball that caught too much of the plate. Gomez was looking for that pitch too, and didn't miss it.
"I knew he was going to come with a front-door curve on the inside," said Gomez, a former teammate of Guerrier's with the Twins. "I was going to stay back, wait until the moment I could drop the head [of the bat] to the ball, and that's what I did."
It was the matchup the Dodgers wanted, though. Gomez had been 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in his career against Guerrier.
"Matt has good numbers with these guys, good numbers with Gomez and it didn't work out tonight," said Dodgers manager Don Mattingly.
Guerrier returned for the eighth, and Martin Maldonado belted a hanging slider into the Dodgers' bullpen.
"That's what happens when breaking pitches hang in the zone a little bit longer than you want," A.J. Ellis said. "It's kind of the fine line you have to play when you're throwing breaking balls. When they're good and down in the zone, you get a lot of outs and swings and misses. But when they hang and they stay up, they go a long way."
The Dodgers tried to mount a comeback, but came up just short.
Andre Ethier launched a solo shot to left to lead off the eighth and cut the deficit to 6-4.
In the ninth, the Dodgers had runners on the corners and two out. A.J. Ellis hit a grounder up the middle that looked like it would reach the outfield, but Brewers shortstop Alex Gonzalez ranged to his left to snag the ball, turned and bounced a throw to first to end the game.
"Off the bat, I thought it had a chance up the middle, but that's one of the best defensive shortstops of all-time in my opinion," said Ellis, who had an RBI single in the third. "As soon as I saw him enter the picture, I knew it was going to be tough [to beat the throw]."
Adrian Gonzalez was scratched from the lineup an hour before the game due to a small skin infection on his right leg. The first baseman went to the hospital but was back in the Dodgers' dugout by the second inning and came on to play first after a double-switch in the seventh and went 0-for-2.
The Dodgers hoped Gonzalez would be back in time to start the game, but it took longer than expected to receive antibiotics at the hospital.
"It's not bothering me, we just wanted to be proactive," said Gonzalez, who leads the team with 17 RBIs. "We didn't want [the infection] to get out of hand so we decided to go to the hospital."
That forced Mattingly to play Jerry Hairston at first for only the second time in his career. Hairston was solid defensively, though, and doubled in his first at-bat.
The Dodgers aren't planning on keeping Magill in the rotation for an extended period because Chris Capuano is likely to return from the disabled list as early as May 6. Nevertheless, Magill said it felt good to show the organization he can be an effective Major League starter.
"I just wanted to come and show that I could do it," Magill said. "Whatever happens here on out, I have no control."

"Pit start" for snakes, reported in ScienceNOW 15 Nov 2004. The complete item reads: "Biologists have long thought that pit vipers use the heat-sensing pits on their faces mainly to track warm-blooded prey. But a paper in the 15 November Journal of Experimental Biology finds that the pits also help the snakes gauge the temperature of their surroundings. Knowing when to slither underground to beat the heat is a key survival skill for these cold-blooded creatures, and the researchers say that thermoregulation, not hunting, may be why the pits evolved."
Editorial Comment: This is good evidence for the historical accuracy of the book of Genesis. In the very good world God created, snakes would need thermoregulation even if they didn't hunt prey. As the world degenerated after the Fall of Man and Noah's flood and many animals became carnivores as food availability decreased, pit vipers were able to use a heat detecting sense organ they already had for another function.

Ashley Hahn has a great primer on what's so wrong with minimum parking requirements in walkable neighborhoods over at the PlanPhilly blog. To put this in the context of what it all means for Philly's development future though, I'd pair it with this post from Angie Schmitt at Streetsblog, Enticing Car-Lite Households to Take the Next Step.
Zoning is about how you want the city to develop in the future. Right now, Philly has a big group of people who don't use cars, a big group of people who use cars a lot, and a really big group of people in the middle who use cars but less often. Let's call them car-lite households, to use Angie's term.
The parking minimums debate is a debate about whether Philly should pursue a development future in which a bunch of the people in the car-lite group opt to join the car-free group, or a future in which auto-centric development keeps car-lite folks in the car owner group.
In the first future, Philly can fit a whole lot more residents, since the need for car storage won't choke off the population growth. That is a future where SEPTA and public transit thrive, and cycling mode share continues to grow.
But for some reason Council President Darrell Clarke seems to think the second future would be better, and says as much to Inga Saffron:
In the last few years, we've experienced what might be called the "Brooklynization" of Philadelphia, especially in the rowhouse neighborhoods fanning out from Center City. As a tide of post-college-age residents has swept in – call them gentrifiers if you want – the administration has responded by embracing everything this demographic loves: parks, waterfront trails, bike lanes, farmer's markets, outdoor cafes, live-work housing. Even as the nation's housing industry struggles to get back on its feet, multistory apartments are rising around Philadelphia.
It's a mistake, however, to assume such changes are universally welcome. Density remains a dirty word in many parts of Philadelphia, City Council included.
Listen to Council President Darrell L. Clarke: "I don't agree with the notion that we should increase density," he told me this week in an interview. "We have 60,000 acres of vacant land in this city and we should be spreading people around."
That view, which runs counter to the conventional wisdom about rebuilding cities, helps explain why Clarke wants to amend the zoning code. His bill, which was introduced by Councilman Brian O'Neill because the council president can't sponsor legislation, is aimed at preventing developers from dividing rowhouses into small apartment houses. Even with three or four units, they help add density, making Philadelphia a livelier place.
Inga is dead-on with this point. What she means by "livelier place" is that it's the density of residents which activates street-level neighborhood retail. "Spreading people around" shrinks the market for neighborhood retail, making neighborhoods less walkable.
Walkability is nothing more than business density – it's a measure of how many of your daily needs you can access within walking distance. A neighborhood with higher residential density can support amenities like grocery stores and laundromats and barbers and restaurants and all the other service providers that make a great city neighborhood great. A modern service market is made of people. The more people who live in the neighborhood, the more small businesses that neighborhood can support.
Rather than looking at the surplus of vacant land as an opportunity to spread people around in more car-oriented neighborhoods, City Council members should be looking at it as an opportunity to grow the city's population by developing a whole lot more high- and medium-density walkable neighborhoods, and all the small business opportunities that come along with that.
It's especially important to get this right now, since Philly rents have been increasing, and maintaining housing affordability is going to require pro-growth policies that don't pointlessly cap the housing supply. There's real demand for walkable housing right now, and Philly is poised to benefit big-time from the growth as long as people can get past the parking paranoia.

Hello everyone, this is my first post and doubtless it's a question which has been asked many times on here
I am just setting out on my 'learning Python' journey and there seem to be mixed opinions as to which version I should be learning. I have been 'messing around' on and off with Python and have now bought myself a book named 'Python Programming For The Absolute Beginner - Third Edition'. Python 3.1 is the version used in the examples in the book. My first goal would be to become good enough to be able to create 2D style games (which Is a very long way away at the moment of course.) Having checked on various sites online I'm now left confused as to whether I should switch to learning Python 3.1 as per the examples in the book or continue with the version I currently have on my PC. I'm currently running Python 2.76 on Windows XP Home Edition. It would seem to make sense to learn the more up to date version but then I read of various problems with doing so when it comes to things such as Pygame for instance. I have already encountered the print ".." and print("..") differences and l was left thinking that as I'm taking my first steps into learning Python it would obviously make sense to set off on the right path now as opposed to having to change paths in a few months time.
Could anyone advise accordingly please ?
Thanks very much.

Benefits of Vitamin D-3:
Vitamin D-3 has long been known as a critical hormone precursor that supports the immune system by regulating the functions of cells in the immune system. Further, it regulates the health of at least 20 different tissues, including those in the brain and joints, while it also plays an integral role in regulating cell growth and bone formation.
Benefits of EpiCor:
EpiCor begins as simple yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, called �baker�s yeast.� After undergoing a complex proprietary fermentation process which stresses the yeast and induces it to produce beneficial metabolites, the entire fermentation broth is dried to a powder. The result is EpiCor, a nutritive dried yeast fermentate that modulates immune function:

The woes of the building sector are showing no signs of easing, with another privately owned NSW-based home construction company collapsing.
Hall Chadwick was yesterday appointed voluntary administrator of Holmwood Builders, which has turnover estimated at $40 million. It trades as Procorp.
The Procorp group has 50 employees, 500 creditors and offices in Sydney, Newcastle, the South Coast and Albury.
Hall Chadwick is conducting an "urgent assessment" of Procorp's business affairs with a view to releasing a report to creditors in about a week, Hall Chadwick partner Domenic Calabretta said.
The administrator was trying to work out "who are the creditors, customers and employees".
"Further detailed information will be provided to creditors in the next few weeks regarding the administrators' recommendation as to the future of Procorp," Mr Calabretta said.
The Australian and Securities & Investment Commission statistics had so far this year recorded the most insolvency appointments since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, he said.
NSW topped the list of Australian states for insolvency appointments this year, Mr Calabretta said.
The construction industry has been hit hardest, with key players such as Kell & Rigby and Southern Cross collapsing.
This would lead to further pain for service providers and subcontractors who had lost big sums of money in large corporate failures, Mr Calabretta said.
NSW Fair Trading Minister Anthony Roberts said every support would be offered to consumers affected by the collapse.
The exact number of homes under construction was still being determined but Fair Trading understands between 80 and 100 dwellings across Sydney, the Hunter, South Coast and Riverina could be affected, Mr Roberts said.
Fair Trading is in contact with the Administrator and the Home Warranty Insurance Fund.
"Fair Trading is ready to respond and assist the affected consumers while also working with the administrators and insurer to determine the best options for all parties as quickly as possible," Mr Roberts said.
"Home buyers should have been given a Home Warranty Insurance Certificate by Holmwood Builders Pty Ltd shortly after they entered into the building contract and that certificate will identify their insurer," Mr Roberts said. "Consumers who have signed a contract with Holmwood Builders are advised to contact the insurer immediately.
"Any subcontractor or supplier who believes they are owed money by the companies should lodge a proof of debt, along with supporting documentation, to the administrator," Mr Roberts said.

CBRE has been retained as the exclusive adviser for the sale of Castle Hot Springs, located at the base of the Bradshaw Mountains, seven miles northwest of Lake Pleasant Regional Park in Peoria.
The 210-acre property, which includes the historic resort and year-round natural hot springs, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Dave Headstream, Jason Hyams and Mike Ratliff of CBRE's Land Services Group in Phoenix are handling the sales responsibilities on behalf of property owner, Ektornet US, Inc., a New York City-based Swedish real estate company.
"This represents a unique opportunity to own an irreplaceable asset and a piece of Arizona history," Headstream says. "Its location makes Castle Hot Springs an ideal choice for a destination resort, corporate retreat, organizational team-building facility or private residence, not to mention the tremendous value-added potential in the surrounding acreage."
Opened in 1896, Castle Hot Springs was considered one of the premier resorts in the U.S., attracting prominent families, such as the Vanderbilts, Astors and Wrigleys. During World War II the property was converted into a rest and recuperation (R&R) facility, leased by the U.S. War Department, where, reportedly, Lt. Cmdr. John F. Kennedy spent time recuperating from combat injuries. In the early years, Castle Hot Springs was the first territorial winter capital of Arizona and was the first property in the state to receive a telephone number, which was "1."
Today, just a few structures remain, including the administrative building, which is situated among a lush lawn containing 550, 100-year old palm trees and adjacent to a 125,000-gallon naturally-heated swimming pool. Other structures include a barn and stable, a large maintenance shed and a guest house. The property also has electric service and a self-contained water supply.

Self watering Fresh Flower Bucket
I always like the look of metal containers, but they usually don't have any drainage holes, and I hate to destroy them by hammering holes in the bottom. This copper bucket not only has drainage, but it comes with a water reservoir in the bottom. Less watering and an indicator to let you know when it is time to refill.

Pub: The Pheasant in London Road, High Wycombe
What do you like about it? It's friendly and I'm with all my mates. It is handy as I live down the road. It is good banter- you know everyone and it's a good laugh. It is one of the last local pubs in town. It is local people after work, in the evenings and at the weekend. A lot of the pubs you go to in the evening and no-one knows each other. Here is how they all used to be 20 years ago.
How long have you been coming here? About eight years.
What do you usually drink? John Smith's.

Stanford University assistant professor of electrical engineering Ada Poon has demonstrated a tiny, wirelessly powered, self-propelled medical device capable of controlled motion through a fluid — blood, to be exact. The era of swallow-the-surgeon medical care may no longer be the stuff of science fiction. Poon's medical devices can be implanted or injected into the human body and powered wirelessly using electromagnetic radio waves.
Some of these new devices, like heart probes, chemical and pressure sensors, cochlear implants, pacemakers, and drug pumps, would be stationary within the body. Others, like Poon's most recent creations, could travel through the bloodstream to deliver drugs, perform analyses, and perhaps even zap blood clots or remove plaque from sclerotic arteries.
The idea of implantable medical devices is not new, but most of today's implements are challenged by the size of their batteries, which are large and heavy and must be replaced periodically. Poon's devices consist of a radio transmitter outside the body sending signals inside the body to an independent device that picks up the signal with an antenna of coiled wire. The power is transferred wirelessly. It can be used to run electronics on the device and propel it through the bloodstream.

I have found that JTR actually took care of this for me. I didnt try cracking the hash with JTR after BT5r1, so I was unaware of the updates to JTR.
Just goes to show you that you shouldn't ever give up on your tools!
This was a mistake made by me, but I'm glad that I was able to get some help making it work.

Sam Keen had a great line, "You are caught by what you are running from." Genius.
We attempt to structure our lives to avoid our fears but that's about as intelligent as straightening the deck chairs on the Titanic. The best way to overcome a fear is to face your fear. As a matter of fact, every time we do something we've been avoiding, we take back the power that seemingly scary or difficult thing had over us.
Every Leader Without a Title and world-class Productive runs toward what they are most resisting versus toward the exit door. They feel the fear of tackling a game changing project and do the project anyway. They acknowledge the sweaty palms before the high-stakes presentation, and give the presentation anyway. They experience the runaway heartbeats accompanying asking for the biggest order in the history of their company, and they ask anyway. And that's what makes them great.
Keep Leading Without A Title.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/9/2012 (1797 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg head coach Tim Burke is ready to put a heavy load on quarterback Buck Pierce, who is getting his first start since he was injured July 13. But Burke was quick to point out the rest of the team must share the burden.
With Pierce back in the lineup after missing eight games, the Bombers (2-9) will look to Pierce to lead the offence to the end zone for the first time in 13 quarters against the Tiger-Cats (4-7) tonight at Canad Inns Stadium.
"The thing I told the offence was Buck is going to be back, that's really positive, we're all happy with that, it instills some confidence in the offence. But we all have to do our jobs," Burke said after Thursday's walk-through at Canad Inns Stadium. "He can't win the game if he's lying on his back on the turf. He can't win the game if he's got to run for his life all the time. We can't win the game if he throws the ball to us and we drop the ball. We've got to catch it, we've got to turn it up-field and we can't turn it over. Same thing with the running backs."
HAMILTON receiver Chris Williams is eating up yards and at least one record this season, but he might want to watch what else he eats while in Winnipeg.
Williams is second in the CFL (to Toronto's Chad Owens) in combined yards with 1,918 and his six punt return/missed field goal return touchdowns are a single-season CFL record. He's tied the CFL record for punt return touchdowns with five.
Praising Williams as "a great guy," Bombers head coach Burke joked there may be only one way to stop Williams today.
"He is really fast and really quick. I don't know, if we maybe poison his food tonight or something like that," Burke said, with a smile. He added ball placement and good coverage lanes by the cover teams are keys to stopping the dynamic Williams.
Williams leads the CFL in touchdowns (12), in punt returns (746 yards on 46 returns and five TDs) and missed field goal returns (256 yards on five returns and one TD). He is third overall in pass receiving with 900 yards on 55 receptions.
"I caught a little whiff of that (from Twitter) as we got off the plane, it's just funny," said the 5-9, 155-pound Williams, who was the CFL's most outstanding rookie in 2011. "I don't know, man, I'm going to have to make sure I take a couple guys with me (to eat). Maybe get Peter (offensive lineman Dyakowski) to test it out for me. Those big guys, they'll test it out and make sure it's safe."
THE Hamilton Tiger-Cats defence isn't planning any special treatment for Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Buck Pierce, playing for the first time in eight games, except to haul away a Ticats' win from Canad Inns Stadium.
The Bombers are on a four-game losing streak while the Ticats have won just one of their last six games.
"I'll shake his hand before the game. Buck and I go way back to B.C. and it's good to see him back out there, I'm always rooting for him and want to see him do well. But when we're opponents, not so much," said Tiger-Cats linebacker Jamall Johnson, who was with the B.C. Lions in 2005-2008 when Pierce was also with B.C.
"We've had a good week at practice behind us and we'll try to go on the field and confuse him when he's back there, get some pressure on him and get some hits when they're available."

The New York Mets today announced that they have selected righthanded pitcher Matt Harvey from the University of North Carolina with the seventh overall pick in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft.
Harvey, 21, just completed his junior season as the Tar Heels were eliminated in the NCAA Tournament on Sunday. The righthander was 8-3 with a 3.09 ERA in 14 games this season. In 96.0 innings, he allowed 80 hits, 42 runs, 33 earned, with 35 walks and 102 strikeouts. Harvey held opponents to a .224 batting average.
The 6-4, 225-pounder struck out nine batters over 6.0 innings on June 4 against California in the Norman Regional during the NCAA Tournament. Harvey was named to the Normal Regional All-Tournament team.
Harvey, who was born in New London, CT and resides in Mystic, CT, ranks ninth all-time in UNC history in strikeouts (263) and 10th in wins (22).
Harvey is 22-7 with 3.73 ERA in 54 games, 43 starts during his three years with the Tar Heels. In 238.2 innings, he has allowed 220 hits, 142 runs, 99 earned, with 124 walks and 263 strikeouts.
He was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Pitcher of the Week for his 15 strikeout performance on April 23 vs. Clemson.
Harvey went 6-1 with a 0.64 ERA with 112 strikeouts in 54.2 innings of work during his senior year at Fitch High School in Groton, CT and was named the Connecticut Player of the Year by the Hartford Courant and Gatorade. He was a 2007 third-round selection (118th overall) by the Los Angeles of Anaheim but elected to attend the University of North Carolina.
Harvey is the highest Mets draft pick since the club selected righthanded pitcher Philip Humber with the third overall pick in 2004.

SOME people stand in the darkness . . . but Burnley actress Alice Barry certainly isn't one of them.
The Shameless star donned Pamela Anderson's iconic Baywatch swimsuit as she once again signed up to support Sport Relief.
The 68-year-old grandmother is not afraid to show off her cheeky side and has previously recreated scenes from Flashdance and American Beauty to raise cash and awareness for Sport Relief and Comic Relief.
Alice, who has also recently appeared in Benidorm, braved the winter weather in nothing but a red swimsuit, a blonde wig and her trademark black glasses in a bid to emulate Pamela's iconic beach scenes.
She posed to encourage people to sign up to the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Games next month.
The picture was taken on a freezing beach in Blackpool to show that anyone can get involved in the games.
Alice said: "You really don't need to be sporty to get involved with Sport Relief, and this year there are even more ways to participate with the first Sainsbury's Sport Relief Games.
"I loved transforming into Pamela Anderson for Sport Relief. Why not sign up to the swimathon and get sponsored to swim your way to the finish line?
"The money you raise will help to transform lives in the UK and the world."
The Sport Relief Games will take place over the weekend of March 21 to 23.

NEW YORK, May 1, 2001 - Composer and novelist Liu Sola spoke with the Asia Society in advance of the Asia Society's May 9, 2001 concert Crossovers: Sola and Friends.
You're well known as a novelist in China. I think it's really interesting that someone who has this other life as a writer composes songs that are made up of abstract sounds rather than words. How does your writing inform your music? Why do you choose to use sounds rather than words in your music when words compose the bulk of your literary life?
I'm not trained as a professional writer but I am trained as a professional musician and composer. I've been looking for a musical style for a long time. It's harder for me to achieve my musical style than it is to achieve my writing style. I was educated in China and I learned only about classical music composition. No one ever introduced me to blues and jazz. In China, folk music is mostly used for propaganda. Classical music is also a mainstream thing. That's all we know about music. Somehow there was something I needed that I couldn't find in China. Even after I studied classical music, I just didn't feel right. It was more simple to explain in writing so people immediately understood my writing and got excited about it. I was still searching for my musical style. I left China and came to the States and heard blues for the first time. That changed my life. It has taken more than ten years to really find my musical style since then.
How were you first exposed to blues and jazz?
The first time I heard blues was in Chicago in 1987, the first time I came to the States. It was a shock. I decided that this is something I have to study. I never heard about it before 1987. There was nothing about blues in China.
Is that still true today?
In China today there is still more interest in Western mainstream culture. Everything written in history books is about classical music. People still think blues music and jazz music is not mainstream. But it's a slow process. There is a Chinese jazz festival now. I think it takes time to put in people's mind that the most beautiful soul music is from the US. For me, I went in this direction and it took me a long time to find my style.
What is it about blues and jazz in particular that attracts you and lends itself to this combination with traditional Chinese music?
It's very soulful music. When I first heard blues, I could feel the soul. The singers know soul…. That really touched me, especially because I like to write fiction. I feel very emotional about that music. From the way blues singers and jazz musicians communicate, I hear Chinese music. I understand one side of Chinese music that I've never been taught when I was in China. In our education, people forget there is soulful Chinese music…. From blues and jazz, I heard Chinese music. I started digging to find what was actually there in Chinese music. This is my life-long research.
The sound of your voice transcends boundaries. Using sounds rather than words gives the music a transcendental, other-worldly quality.
There is more room for imagination without lyrics. The voice then becomes like an instrument. Using words is like writing poetry, but if you don't sing words, it's like writing novels or fiction. The sentence can be long or short. Also in fiction things can be completely emotional. That's why I don't use lyrics.

At Oakland Zoo we pride ourselves on the "protected contact" system of care for our four resident African Elephants. This system is based on positive reinforcement and prevents the need for keeper domination through barbaric tools such as the bullhook. Each year we host "Celebrating Elephants" to benefit the Amboseli Trust for Elephants in Kenya, and at this event we encourage people not to attend "free contact" elephant programs such as amusement parks where elephant rides are given and circus shows featuring elephants and other animals.
Well, I figured it was time for me to put my money where my mouth is. This last Friday our longtime volunteer Cheryl Matthews, my sister Chelsea, and I decided to boycott the local circus show at the Oracle Arena in Oakland. There was a group meeting there and the directions were pretty clear: Just Show Up.
I really wasn't sure what to expect. I've never been to the circus before – as a protestor or a patron – so I wasn't sure how exactly we were to go about protesting. I'm not a very confrontational person and the idea of yelling into a megaphone or accusing people of wrongdoing didn't exactly appeal to me.
Luckily this group is about educating people through peaceful means, not aggressively. Signs were provided for all of us and we were given flyers in both English and Spanish to offer to people as they walked by. Each of us was instructed to be polite, and to try to be as friendly as possible despite potentially negative reactions.
Truth be told, there were far less 'angry' people than I thought there would be. Many people refused our fliers and seemed irritated at being offered them, but no one was rude. Many people also took them on their way in. And holding signs is an attention-grabbing mode of spreading the message as well. There was an Oakland A's game that night at the Coliseum and far more people were headed to that venue than to the circus. There were also encouraging people like the man who told my sister what a good job she was doing and that even if people don't take the flier, they are listening, we are still a presence.
My hope is that for everyone that took a flier on their way into the show, they'll at least give that flier a look. Maybe they were unwilling to tear up their tickets or turn around and drive home, but maybe that flier, and our message will make them think twice the next time the circus comes to town. And maybe if we're really lucky, there won't be a next time.

The introduction of 20mph zones in Otley is being hailed as a major road safety boost – but has already left some residents scratching their heads.
Signs announcing the new lower limit, which is being imposed on more than 100 residential roads south of the river, started going up last week.
They mark the end of phase one of a long-running campaign, spearheaded by Councillor Colin Campbell (Lib Dem, Otley & Yeadon), to improve safety on the town's roads.
The placement of some of the signs, however, on cluttered, narrow back alleys and other locations where high speeds seem unlikely, has been branded as ridiculous and a waste of money.
Granville Terrace householder Chris Kelly was one of a number of residents who flagged up the issue.
He said: "We have had a new speed limit sign added outside our house. This I can understand, and in terms of the lower speed limit I am most definitely in favour.
"But another sign has been added at the back of our house, presumably to warn traffic not to exceed 20mph on our back alley.
"To me, it seems quite bizarre and a waste of time and money."
Lucy Wilkinson was equally damning about the new sign that has gone up at the back of her home.
She said: "I arrived home on Tuesday, March 4, to find two Leeds City Council workers, or contractors, putting up 20mph signs on a private back road behind the houses on Neville Road where I live.
"This is a dirt track that belongs to the houses of Neville Road and on it you can't possibly go more than 5mph without hitting lots of black and green bins.
"I find it highly ridiculous and a waste of council money. I have seen maybe five or less cars going up this street in two years."
The Otley & Yeadon ward's three Lib Dem city councillors say they have raised the problem of "inappropriately placed" signs with the highways department.
But they also point out that there is a legal requirement to have the new limit signs displayed on all relevant routes – including back alleys since they are, technically, a highway.
Coun Campbell, meanwhile, is convinced the overall scheme – which is receiving financial support from the Town Council – will deliver real benefits to Otley.
He said: "This is a major boost to road safety in the town.
"There is sound evidence from across the country that lower speeds on residential streets save lives and our priority in Otley is to protect young children."
Coun Downes added: "It has taken a long time to get this in place.
"We started surveying residents about four years ago and found there was overwhelming support for lowering the speed limit. It has taken all this time to both find the funding and go through the legal process but we have got there at last."
Coun Lay said the intention was now to look at introducing a similar initiative for residential roads north of the river in Otley, while two schemes are being considered for Yeadon. "All three look promising and we hope to see progress on these later in the year," he said.
