Confusing language in abortion bill explained
How does a doctor terminate a pregnancy in a way that "provides the best opportunity for the unborn child to survive"? Many state representatives, including Sarah Davis, R-West University Place, were wondering the same thing after reading a passage in the omnibus abortion bill, House Bill 2. Davis, the lone Republican opposing the bill, asked …
Abortion debate on HB 2 starts out with a bang
The first couple hours of debate on an omnibus abortion bill in the Texas House ramped up with heated stand offs between state representatives talking over one another and graphic testimony from both sides of the aisle. Democrats and the lone Republican opposing House Bill 2 proposed amendments to the legislation for rape and incest, …
Sen. Wendy Davis, Planned Parenthood kick off bus tour
Texas Democrats pledged to fight back in a campaign – starting with a statewide bus tour – against Republicans aggressively pushing strict abortion restrictions they say will hobble women's health services in the state. "It's well past the time that those in control stop, think and listen to the people of Texas," said state Sen. …
Perry's sister an advocate for surgical centers
One of the controversial tenets of the abortion restriction bill would require all abortions to be performed in ambulatory surgical centers, which are a distinct type of healthcare facility set up for outpatient surgeries. Abortion rights advocates say the new requirement would force many clinics to close because they wouldn't be able to afford to …
Tommy Williams passes on comptroller race
Sen. Tommy Williams, R-The Woodlands, announced Wednesday he will not seek the office of Texas Comptroller in the 2014 Republican primary. Williams said his job as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee was "incompatible with the demands of simul… …

Texas Democrats get reality check in latest poll
Despite Fort Worth Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis's new-found fame, Texas Democrats got a reality check in a Public Policy Polling analysis issued this morning that shows her in the range of pretty much any Democrat in Texas — that is, losing to Gov. Rick Perry by 14 points. Worth noting: the poll points out that …
Senate Finance makes quick work of transpo bill
Thirteen hours of state Senate filibustering and commotion last week delayed a plan to redirect about $1 billion to Texas roads. Tuesday morning, it took the Senate Finance Committee about ten minutes to put the bill back on track. By an 11-0 vote, the committee recommended SJR 1 to the Senate, set to reconvene next […] …
UPDATE: Sen. Patrick pledges to stop any abortion bill filibuster
UPDATE: A call for a previous question wouldn't have ended Davis' filibuster on its own; the act would have allowed senators to vote on whether to end the filibuster. The maneuver has been used to end filibusters in the past, according to Express-News reports. "The only way a filibuster is ended is to sustain three …
Temperatures rising inside and outside the state Capitol
And we don't mean just the thermometer, which, if isn't north of 100 degrees, will be soon. Thousands of protesters on both sides of the abortion debate have converged for dueling rallies, which are scheduled for outside. But hundreds of activists have jammed the Rotunda on every level: Pro-life activists are singing "Amazing Grace," drowning …

THE TWIN Sails Bridge in Poole has been described as a triumph after winning a prestigious architectural award.
It features in a list of 11 innovative and outstanding new architecture to be given a RIBA South West Award 2014 from the Royal Institute of British Architects at a ceremony in Bristol held yesterday (May 8).
Designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects, Borough of Poole's £21million Twin Sails Bridge, which opened to the public in October 2011, was praised by John Pardey of John Pardey Architects.
He said: "The raised bridge looks simple, elegant, and does indeed evoke sails passing. But at night, another trick plays out, as the road is flooded in red light to help stop the traffic (along with barriers housed in sentinels each side) from LED strips housed beneath the handrails. Long carbon-fibre masts complete the sails, again with light piercing the sky."
Poole-based ECA Architecture & Planning was also named in the final shortlist of 15 projects selected from 55 entries across the south west of England, for their Knappings Barn house extension project at Cheltenham.

Joint Korea project halted; Putin says nuclear war would make Chernobyl look like 'fairy tale'
PAJU, South Korea — North Korea suspended its sole remaining major project with the South on Monday, compounding weeks of threats against the United States and South Korea, as Russian President Vladimir Putin said any nuclear conflict could make Chernobyl look like a "fairy tale."
Reclusive North Korea's decision to all but close the Kaesong industrial park coincided with speculation that it will carry out some sort of provocative action — another nuclear weapons test or missile launch — in what has become one of the most serious crises on the peninsula since the end of the Korean War in 1953.
Tension has been rising since the United Nations imposed new sanctions against the North in response to its third test of a nuclear weapon in February. Pyongyang has been further angered by weeks of joint military exercises by South Korean and U.S. forces and threatened both countries with nuclear attack.
Putin said the conflict could cause greater devastation than the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986.
"I would make no secret about it: We are worried about the escalation on the Korean peninsula, because we are neighbors," he said at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a visit to a trade fair in Germany. "And if, God forbid, something happens, Chernobyl which we all know a lot about, may seem like a child's fairy tale."
Analysts had suggested Pyongyang would continue to allow Kaesong to operate as it accounted for about $2 billion in annual trade, with 50,000 North Koreans working in the zone making household goods for 123 South Korean companies.
It generates more than $80 million a year in cash in wages — paid to the state rather than to workers.

I had a good stay in the hostel (5 nights) , the location is great , the rooms are really large . All the staff were helpfully with me as well with other travellers. The breakfest is a little bit poor ,so thats something they could improve. It has its own bar with very cheap prices and wonderfull drinks. I recommend the hostel.

i had a great time at the island and the hostel. The rooms are very good , with A.C , beds are confortable. The bathrooms and all the common areas were very clean , so nothing to say about that. It has a backyard with fridge and a place to eat that its very good to meet people. Only thing that could be better is the breakfast , but is okay. I totally recommend the hostel.

Snow is goodwrote a review of Vans Andreas Wiig Snowboard Boot on January 16, 2009
Very, very comfy, and also very, very stiff. I'm a freerider so I was looking for a stiff boot and I hit the nail on the head with this one. A couple of features: nice inner liner with ankle strap, it has a flexy material near the toes so you can wiggle them, the inside laces are attached to the shell, NOT the liner, keeping the liner tight against the boot. The outside shell is a little bulky, so make sure they fit inside your bindings. I used to wrap the laces around my ankle to make it super tight up there, but one pair of eyelets are attached to a flap of material that wrap around to the back of the boot, so when you tie the boot it pulls the top of the boot nice and tight around your ankle/calf. This will save your fingers a little from the rug burn you get from trying to pull your laces tight.
Drawback, that little flexy bit I told you about in the toe box, the one that lets you wiggle your toes, it's not as insulated as the regular liner material so your toes might get a little cold on really frigid days. But you can wiggle them so it's not all bad, just wear thick socks if it's going to be a cold one.

The world was quite possibly coming to an end. That was the first thought in Martha Jones' mind as she rematerialised in a patch of crispy, frozen grass, watching the false aliens rain down terror and destruction upon the world.
The rest…it flashed by so quickly it seemed like only a few moments of watching in horror as the small globes brought about the end of all she knew, fire flickering on all sides as smoke twisted and swirled into the air like angry dragons. Hopelessness stilled her heart as the full view of what was happening made the air catch in her lungs.
It was only yesterday that they were in Cardiff. It was only yesterday she'd been quite content in her jealousy over the abstract concept of Rose Tyler. Knowledge may be power, but ignorance was bliss—she'd been happier not knowing. Knowing seemed to corolate in her mind with the end of the world. So in that sense…ignorance really was superior to knowing even the slightest bit of truth regarding the legendary Rose Tyler, who knew the answer to every problem and, apparently, never wandered off.
It wasn't Martha's fault that she hadn't understood, but she hadn't understood. That much had been made painfully clear to her as she listened to the Doctor and Jack discuss the reason why the good captain couldn't seem to stay dead.
She'd thought Rose had been the ex-girlfriend. Or some object of his affections, maybe obsessions. She didn't know—the Doctor never gave up much of himself, and she had trouble figuring out what he'd mean, the first time he'd mentioned Rose, saying that they'd been 'together.'
Mostly she'd spent the last months wishing he'd forget about someone who had obviously hurt and left him, throwing away something potentially spectacular with the universe's most magnificent man. Rose had to have left him—why would he pine for her so desperately, saying that he wished Rose was there, that she'd know what to do. He hadn't wanted Rose to go. That much was obvious, even to Martha, with her limited experience with relationships due to the demands of her education.
Jack…made her feel like she was being noticed, though. Like she was a woman. But still, his first thought, upon seeing the Doctor had been to ask after Rose. Just what the hell had been so special about Rose Tyler, that two men were hung up on her? So special about someone who had both of them hugging and bonding over their mutual smitten-ness for some woman who'd left them high and dry?
Above her, angry grey smoke twisted along the orange fire in the sky. She had seen the future of the human race. What would become of that future—of her own past—if humanity fell today?
Martha forced herself to draw in another breath, something that had turned into serious work, suddenly. That wasn't all that great for an involuntary system, that was for sure.
She hadn't managed to gather much on her non-competition up to that point—Rose was with her family, and 'safe,' whatever that meant. That was—other than the myth and the legend. Obviously, the woman knew exactly what to say or do in any given situation with the Doctor, had left a trail of men across the universe, and was blonde.
The last detail suddenly seemed incredibly humourous after their wild stay in 1913 and the Doctor—nay, John Smith's falling for Nurse Redfern. Maybe the woman had been a substitute (perhaps only in the ghost of his subconscious) for Rose Tyler. Other than hair colour, Martha couldn't fathom what the two had in common—they seemed (from what Martha could deduce) to be such worlds apart. It was something Martha spent far too much time thinking about—what it was about Rose Tyler that had ensnared the Doctor so.
It wasn't so much that he did not notice her. Martha was kind of used to that. There were times when she felt invisible in her family or in her studies, just caught up in the tidal wave of her own life. It was that she couldn't figure out the competition—couldn't fathom her, really.
And it wasn't that she felt she was competing with Rose. She felt like she was competing with a memory—one so gripping that the Doctor didn't notice any attentions Martha paid him, friendly or otherwise. She kept him company and kept him from self-destructing, but she was a poor substitute for whoever this magnificent Rose Tyler had been. And on the level of a woman in love with an infuriating man, it hurt. But there was another level that it caused something beyond pain in Martha's heart—the one where she couldn't figure out how to be what the Doctor needed. She cared for him far too deeply to want to see him flailing about. She was almost a doctor herself—she wanted to mend him, help him in any way she could…and he had some ailment that she couldn't treat. All because she could not unlock the mystery of what Rose Tyler had been to him.
Now she knew. Not only had Rose been the heart and soul of the TARDIS trio, as it had been before their unfortunate separation, but she'd been the missing pieces of at least one of the two men left behind.
Martha knew she couldn't live up to that. It would be ridiculous to try. She had no idea how to help the Time Lord she saw as being so desperately in need of tending to, but she'd find some way to be there for him, as a friend. Even if he didn't notice her.
Well, that's what she'd thought, at least, before her world had collapsed around her, with her parents and sister the hostages of a mad-man, the Doctor incapacitated and humiliated at the feet of his enemy and Jack in no position to help himself, much less anyone else. That was before the skies glowed orange with the terrible destruction going on around her. It was a world without hope—one without a tomorrow.
Now she not only wished she could heal that terribly injured piece of her broken Time Lord, by being Rose to him, even if she knew she could never be. But she wanted to fix this broken situation and her damaged and dying world—she wanted to burn brightly with the sort of selfless devotion that had ended the Time Wars and had brought Jack back from death—albeit in a an imperfect manner. Martha Jones wanted be Rose Tyler to her family, to Jack and the Doctor…to her world.
I'm coming back…
She heard herself vow it, even though all that she knew seemed to be falling to ruin around her.
Martha Jones couldn't be Rose Tyler—there was only one of those. In this universe AND in the next, it appeared. Rose Tyler was just that powerful and mythic—now in a very tangible sense, instead of the shadow that hung between herself and the Doctor all these many months.
She would not be like Rose…it wasn't her path to burn with Time.
Martha didn't know what road was hers to take, but in all the confusion, when she had nothing to rely upon, not even that the sun would set in the west, she had some odd talisman in this woman who had gone before her.
She wanted to hate Rose Tyler and had tried. It had been easier when she'd been convinced that Rose had abandoned the Doctor to his own self-destructive devices. But now, that she'd pieced together that they both cared for the Doctor, more than anything else in the world, what could she do?
As she bolted for the tree line, the acrid smells of laser fire and burnt flesh tearing at her sinus cavity, she knew, almost mystically, that she'd manage to find her own way to do as Rose had done. She'd find a way to set this right—if she had to move heaven and hell to do it.

Inverters deliver increased energy efficiency
Post a comment
Eindhoven, Netherlands NXP has introduced the UBA2074, a high-voltage, full-bridge fluorescent backlight controller IC and a low-voltage counterpart, the UBA2072. These full-bridge fluorescent backlight controller ICs are aimed at larger display sizes and increased use of high-supply voltage backlight inverter solutions in LCD-TV applications.
NXP claims the UBA2074 is the industry's first true high-voltage full-bridge inverter controller IC. The device provides a full-bridge voltage up to 550 V, and integrates level shifters, bootstrap diodes and drivers. The UBA2074, with hard switching protection, targets 155-V to 400-V full-bridge, high-voltage backlight applications, while the UBA2074A, without hard switching protection, is used in 60-V full-bridge, medium-voltage backlight applications.
The UBA2072 is designed to operate over a wide low-voltage inverter supply, ranging from 9 V to 30 V, matching the requirements of larger LCD monitors, LIPS structures and 24-V supplied LCD-TV backlight inverters.
Pricing: Ranges from $ 0.65 each for the UBA2072 to $ 0.70 each for the UBA2074 in high volume.

WILTSHIRE Fire & Rescue Service is urging local people to make fire safety one of their new year's resolutions for 2013.
Smoke alarms can give you the few extra seconds needed to escape from a fire but they have to be tested regularly and periodically replaced.
In addition, larger properties or multi-storey homes will need more than one working alarm fitted – last year, nearly half of all household fires where the smoke alarm did not give a warning were because the unit was not close enough to detect the blaze.
To keep your smoke alarms in working order, you should:
• Test your alarm weekly by pushing the button
• Check the packaging to ensure that the alarm is still up to date
• Make sure there is at least one smoke alarm on every level of your home
• Fit smoke alarms on landings and hallways, and in rooms that have an electrical appliance in them
Watch Manager Neil Chamberlain, from the community safety department, said: "New Year is a time for resolutions, when we all try and commit to something that will improve our health or wellbeing.
"We know that most homes now have smoke alarms fitted, but it is vital that they are checked weekly to ensure they provide the protection needed. Also, most alarms only have a ten-year life, so they do sometimes need replacing."
Some households will qualify for a free home fire safety check from Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service. To find out more, call 0800 389 7849 or visit wiltsfire.gov.uk.

Snowmobile safety class is Dec. 4
The Rosemount Sno Toppers will host snowmobile safety training Dec. 4. The Rosemount snowmobile club puts on the class once each winter so locals can get their safety certificate, which is required by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to operate a snow mobile for everyone born after Dec. 31, 1976.
While some of the information is dry, club president Jerry Tompkins said it's important that kids have a good understanding of the safety and mechanics involved with the sport.
In addition to providing the class each year the Sno-Toppers take care of area trails.
The club grooms 25 miles of local trails around Rosemount. The extensive trail system starts in downtown Rosemount and goes all the way to Coates along 160th. The trails along 160th are one way. Most of the trails open Dec. 1.
Children of Sno Toppers members will be accepted first. Students must be at least 12 year old. The class will begin at 8 a.m. and go into the afternoon. Location to be announced.
Call Chad Hageman to register, 612-998-3207.

Rated 4 out of 5�by proudmamaw great company to order from the shipment was fast and I had other orders for bedding, etc. had some problems with my order, some on my part and some on their part. Very nice people in customer service and went above and beyond to help. My only suggestion would be to let people know that when they order your shams, pillows etc that they are going to have to order your pillow too!!!! your bedding accessories is not standard size and I was not aware of this and had to reorder for the pillows to stuff my shams and decorative pillows. The decorative pillows are not stuffed so I would call them decorative pillow coverings and let people know that only your pillows fit these accessories. Can you not make the shams a standard size and sell your decorative pillows stuffed?? Would be much more appealing in placing my next order. Would definitely recomment this company but more info on your accessories would be more helpful. November 1, 2012

LSU players spent part of their Monday being interviewed by CBS Sports. ESPN will be broadcasting live from campus throughout the day Tuesday. Sports Illustrated, USA Today and the New York Times have been interviewing players and coaches since last week.
The same type of stuff is going on in Tuscaloosa, Ala., site of the game between No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama on Saturday.
The media demands of this week and even during last week's open date are unprecedented for an LSU regular-season game and rival those for a Southeastern Conference Championship or a BCS Championship game.
"We tried to get as much of the big stuff as we could out of the way last week," LSU associate athletic director/sports information Michael Bonnette said Monday. "We knew this week was going to be off the charts."
In addition to head coach Les Miles, the most popular targets for interviews have been quarterbacks coach Steve Kragthorpe and quarterback Jarrett Lee.
"We're trying to keep it as routine as possible for the players," Bonnette said.
Miles said he plans to minimize the media responsibilities for the players, which end on Tuesday during game weeks.
"I want our guys to continue doing what they have been doing," Miles said. "I want them going out to practice wide-eyed, playing hard, having fun and playing as well as they are capable of."
Punter Brad Wing fielded an interview request from the New York Times, which also interviewed Crimson Tide defensive lineman Jesse Williams, who like Wing is a native of Australia.
"It was crazy," Wing said. "I told my mom that the New York Times wanted an interview, and she said, 'What?' I couldn't believe it, either. It's just crazy."
Engaging bye week
Guard Will Blackwell took advantage of the free time during the off week to turn his girlfriend, Laura Cummings, into his fiancée.
"I just got engaged Friday," Blackwell said. "We got the engagement out the way, and that's behind me. I'm ready for this week and the test of Alabama. I wanted to do it during the bye week, so I didn't have any games to worry about or anything like that."
Blackwell said he "wasn't too romantic" when he popped the question. When asked if there was more pressure involved with the engagement or the upcoming game, he said, "I would say both. They're right there on par."
Twitter-free Tigers
In addition to trying to minimize the amount of time players spend doing interviews this week, Miles is trying to eliminate any bulletin board material that could surface on Twitter.
"Coach Miles wants everyone to stay off of there," safety Brandon Taylor said. "We had a meeting the other day and addressed it. He just told us to stay away from it, because it won't win us any games. So we shouldn't be doing it. It's just a distraction."
Miles pretty much steers clear of Twitter.
"I think these games are played in between the white lines," he said. "It is overly important not to spoil an opportunity. Our guys have been guided along those lines as we approach this game. To be honest, I told them that we needed no Twitter personalities in this game. We want to as a team honor this opponent and play with our very best effort."
Ticket giveaway
A pair of tickets to the LSU-Alabama game will be given away at halftime of the LSU women's basketball exhibition game against Xavier (New Orleans), which tips off at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
Fans must wear LSU apparel to the game to qualify for the two tickets. A select few of those fans will be chosen to participate in a halftime dance-off promotion where one fan will then be selected as the winner for the ultimate prize.
No media darling
Miles said he never had to worry about interview requests when he played at Michigan even though the Wolverines played a lot of big games.
"No one wanted to interview me when I was playing. Are you kidding me?" he said with a laugh. "Did you check my career? I traveled and played. They didn't need to talk to me. I wasn't nearly as articulate as (LSU wide receiver) Russell Shepard or nearly as a capable as (offensive lineman) T-Bob Hebert. I was a team guy that wanted to contribute. They didn't really ask me my opinion. I would've given it to them."
No one missing
Miles, who has been coy about the status of defensive backs Tyrann Mathieu and Tharold Simon and running back Spencer Ware, was asked pointedly about their availability for Saturday's game.
"There will be no players withheld from this game," he said. "They will be allowed to come to the field and play when capable. There is no one on this team that is suspended."
The trio was held out of the Tigers' last game — a 45-10 victory against Auburn two weeks ago — for violating an unspecified team rule. Numerous media outlets have reported that they tested positive for a banned substance.
Miles said the players would return to their former spots on the depth chart. Mathieu has been the team's top defensive playmaker, Simon backs him up and Ware is the team's leading rusher.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/6/2012 (1905 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Temple Grandin is both the meat industry's greatest asset and its biggest curse.
The animal scientist from Colorado State University often credits her autism for her ability to understand how animals see things and how they experience fear, pain or discomfort.
But it's her way of speaking to people in such a way they want to listen that has made her famous, as illustrated by the 700 people who came out to hear her talk in Brandon recently.
It's tough sticking her into a category. She's not anti-meat, yet she is pro-animal. She willingly works with an industry of which she is its harshest critic.
Grandin won't defend practices such as sow-gestation stalls, but she also points out simply eliminating them without redesigning management of everything from feeding systems to sow genetics to handler training could be disastrous for animal welfare.
That's perhaps one of the most endearing qualities about her -- her uncanny ability to wrap her criticisms of how our society treats animals in incontrovertible straight-talking common sense. That, along with her creative use of descriptions, such as calling the modern-day bulldog a "freakazoid" result of breeding programs that make bad into normal.
Early in her career, Grandin focused on helping design humane handling systems in slaughterhouses, but she soon realized even the best designs would have little effect if management and workers weren't onside.
So she went to the top and began working with meat buyers, starting with McDonalds Corp. in the late 1990s, to develop purchasing policies that recognized animal-welfare goals.
The food sector, both retail and service, is increasingly exercising its might on the animal-welfare file. With the list growing daily of companies serving notice, it's virtually impossible to think sow-gestation stalls have a future in hog-production systems. Ditto for traditional tightly packed battery cages used in the egg industry.
Grandin even had a thing or two to say about the ongoing pink slime debacle in the United States, oddly enough in defence of the lean, finely textured beef, as it is called. Why? In her view, it is a sustainable product because it reduces waste in the order of 6.8 to 13.6 kilograms per carcass.
More beef from a carcass means fewer carcasses are needed, which translates into fewer animals being killed, less feed, fewer feedlots, and on it goes.
For the record, lean, finely textured beef has never been sold in Canada. Health Canada considers the ammonia treatment the product undergoes to kill off bacteria a food additive, which must be approved. No one has yet applied for that approval. That's not likely to change any time soon.
It's pretty hard to find the product in the United States either, after most of the plants manufacturing it closed last month, throwing hundreds of people out of work.
It's hard to say exactly where things started to go so terribly wrong, but it's clear the product's makers and ultimately the whole beef industry was caught flat-footed when the frenzy began.
They could be forgiven for that. After all, the product, which uses a centrifuge to separate the remaining bits of meat from the fat after the main cuts are removed from the carcass and treats it with ammonia to kill bacteria, had been in the food supply for two decades and was used in 70 per cent of ground-beef products.
But BPI Inc., the largest manufacturer of the beef product, refused to comment for two weeks after the story broke in the mainstream media. This was already after it had gone viral in social media.
Two weeks is a long time in the public-engagement business.
Grandin urged producers in her Brandon audience to use social media such as YouTube to tell their stories directly to the public about the ordinary things people do on a farm, not the pumped-up PR "fluff" campaigns. That way, people have a reference point with which to compare the atrocities or food-safety scares the industry's opponents document and circulate.
The animal industry has been good at explaining how important it is to the economy, but it has tended to hide behind the red barn-white picket fence imagery when it comes to its interactions with the public over production practices.
Her advice to a producer's question in Brandon was to post a video explaining what takes place on the farm or in a slaughterhouse in a straightforward, straight-talking manner.
But she also urged producers and the industry to be constantly searching for improvements in the humaneness of production systems, worker training and slaughterhouses.
As she points out, it's better for the people as well as the animals.

Actress Samantha is no doubt the most sought after heroine in Tollywood. Currently she is part of three big projects in Tollywood. She is acting in �Atharintiki Daaredi� opposite Pawan Kalyan, 'Ramayya Vastavaiyya� opposite NTR and �Manam� opposite Naga Chiatanya. She is also acting opposite Surya in Lingusamy direction in Tamil.
However, Samantha shocked everyone saying that she will start signing small projects with substantial script and will not be a part of many big films.
We are not sure what made her to choose small films over big films, but will surely disappoint her fans and producers who are already facing the scarcity of top heroines.

For my "home video production" I'm searching for a camera shutter sound! Anybody able to help?
Thank's :wink:
I've been meaning to record these myself.
Maybe this is waht your looking for? http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=2014 its a flash.
Thanks a lot!!! But unfortunatly that's the sound of the flash, not the one of the shutter...
I've recorded the "shutter-noise" of my camera. As soon as I'm back at home, I will provide an URL to this sound. It will be at around 9:00 p.m. (CET).
Great I wait in suspence hock:
I've recorded the "shutter-noise" of my camera. As soon as I'm back at home, I will provide an URL to this sound. It will be at around 9:00 p.m. (CET).
I surely hope that means you'll upload it to freesound

Yes, of course As soon as I have uploaded it, I will inform you. Thanks for the hint.
I've uploaded two WAV-files: (1) shifting a photo and (2) noise of a shutter. The files haven't been moderated yet. I will edit this post as soon as the files are visible.
Thank you for your patience and bye,
P.S.: Here are the two sounds: http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/usersViewSingle.php?id=10251
by the way: I remembered that dpreview.com -a very professional site where they do camera reviews- has a LOT of camera-shutter sounds: for every camera they record the hutter sound.
For example (just ONE example of MANY)
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/NikonD50/Samples/Audio/d50-d70s-350d-jpeg.mp3 <- check the end of this one, it sounds really good.
It might not be "freesound" but it might help you.

Yeah i like that bram. A bit of hiss but you could NR (noise reduce) that. Have you contacted them yet? Perhaps they would be willing to upload their recordings to freesound
What a great community Thank you for all the answers!!!!

ST. CATHARINES, ONT.—Most of us try to remember war but some can never forget.
It's Friday, one week before Remembrance Day, and David Wince is perched in an electric recliner in the living room of his St. Catharines home. His medals, along with old newspaper clippings and a VHS copy of The Bridge on the River Kwai, rest on a nearby hutch.
More than seven decades and 15,000 kilometres separate the former prisoner of war from his World War II memories. But at the age of 91, these memories will not fade. He remains haunted by experiences that are impervious to time and space.
This is his story.
Before joining the British army in 1940, Wince planned to be a barber. But within a few months, at the age of 20, he went from apprenticing with scissors to training others with grenades and rifles.
"They were all young, rosy-cheeked country boys," says Wince, his voice suddenly choked with emotion. "Good lads, all of them. They were honest and they worked hard."
One of the lads Wince trained, one of many who would not return home, was killed while firing a machine gun during a lopsided battle with enemy forces.
"I can still see him even now," says Wince, averting his eyes. "I can still see his face."
In October 1941, Wince and fellow soldiers from the 18th Division left Gourock, Scotland, for Halifax. Upon arrival, they boarded the USS Mount Vernon, a former American luxury liner rechristened as a troop transport.
After stops in Trinidad and Cape Town, something happened that would forever change their lives: Japan invaded Malaya. The soldiers were diverted to Singapore.
"We didn't know what a Japanese soldier looked like," Wince says, recalling the disorienting arrival in Singapore, where the skies crackled with torrential rains and enemy air raids. "We didn't even know what kinds of weapons they had. We had no idea of what we were getting into."
Undaunted, the soldiers pressed into battle. It would be a short engagement. When Japan quickly took control of Singapore, Wince was in a civilian hospital, recovering from a mortar wound to his leg.
"One day I woke up and the hospital was empty," he recalls.
Most of the 18th Division had been captured. Allied soldiers laid down their arms and were held inside Changi barracks, where Wince would soon arrive and his nightmare would begin.
"We all knew one thing and one thing only," he says. "We were prisoners."
Wince and others were eventually herded into railway cars and sent to Thailand. They arrived at the Ban Pong camp to work as forced labourers. The prisoners were subjected to unfathomable cruelty.
For 12 to 14 hours a day, they toiled outside, clearing old banana plantations with crude implements, building embankments, carrying supplies across treacherous terrain, blasting through stone and mountainside without machinery. This would be the beginning of the Burma Railway, also known as the Death Railway, a Japanese wartime effort to link Burma and Thailand that would cost thousands of lives.
Those who did not die were trapped inside a living hell.
The temperature often shot past 37C, or 100F. At night, unprotected huts filled with scorpions, snakes, centipedes and mosquitoes the size of golf balls. There was no medicine, no sanitation. There was no connection to the outside world and no trace of humanity on the inside.
Beatings, torture, disease, starvation, even executions, Wince witnessed it all.
"We had no hope," he says. "There was no way of getting out."
In 1944, now in Burma to work on railway maintenance near the Three Pagoda Pass, after the bridge over the River Kwai was complete, the situation for Wince became even worse.
"One day I started feeling sick," he says, of the fever and blinding stomach pains. "I started shaking and shivering."
Based on the agony of others, Wince knew he was dealing with malaria and dysentery. And having passed hundreds of makeshift graves along the railway, he knew this could be the end.
He was put into a railcar and returned to Changi. Emaciated, Wince staggered toward the prison after the two-day journey. One of his buddies stared at him with horror.
"He looked at me and he said, 'Good God! What did they do to you?'"
Unable to eat his meagre ration of maggot-infested rice — the only food the prisoners received — Wince was moved to a dysentery ward.
"This was a place from hell," he says. "The smell inside there was indescribable."
Around him, men were moaning and dying. But a Canadian doctor — "the only Canadian I ever met," says Wince — gave him Epsom salts. Wince survived but would suffer another 25 relapses of malaria over the next 15 months.
Then nearly four years after it started, it was over.
In 1945, Wince was working in Bangkok, unloading barges of ammunition and building gun pits for Japan, which feared an invasion by allied forces. One day, without warning, a passing Thai man whispered two words: "War finished."
A piece of paper was pinned to the prison wall: An atomic bomb had been dropped. Japan had surrendered.
"We felt nothing," says Wince. "We didn't jump up and down. We didn't celebrate."
Wince was eventually flown to a hospital in Rangoon. A few weeks later, he was back in London, reunited with his family.
Wince moved to Canada in 1954, settling in Hamilton, where he worked, finally, as a barber. Fifteen years later, during a trip to Grenada, he met Dianne, a Toronto native who is now his wife of 40 years.
She sits across from him in the afternoon sunshine as he tells his story. She listens with rapt attention, staring with love and understanding. She knows the price he paid for all of us.
Her husband's Remembrance Day message is simple: "Nothing is worth war."

ANDY Goode stole the headlines with his late kick, but half back parter Joe Simpson took the top plaudits as he was named Man of the Match on his return to the side.
He scored Wasps' only try with a typically sharp finish from 30m and then robbed Exeter of a match-winning score themselves when he raced back to hold Henry Slade up over the line.
Director of rugby Dai Young said: "It was real determination from Joe to get back and keep us in the game. If that was a try that would have been it for us.
"He also scored a good try himself. We all know how sharp he is off the base of the scrum and if you give him that space he's going to capitalise.
"I thought his kicking game was excellent as well and kept us in the right areas of the field."
Simpson has faced a battle with Charlie Davies for the number nine shirt this season and has had to sit out the last few matches.

Topic: Garage sale shopping after chemo today
Chemo today went better do to the two nurses working together to access my port. None of the trauma of last week. One pressed on my skin to hold the port in an upright position while the other one pushed in the needle ....and it worked...and was the least painful of all the previous attempts since April to access this darned thing. It was the short chemo day, just a steroid and Gemcitibine.....and on the way home, we stopped for a burger and fries.....only thing that sounded good.....and then the car magically turned down a street with a garage sale. It was billed as "Having no more babies sale." Whoohoo!!! My friend , who had taken me to chemo, let me go to the sale and I picked up about 25 pieces of quality clothes for my little grandson for only $33.00. It was all name brand stuff.....Gymboree, Carters, Children's Place......nice haul. I hadn't gotten to do something like that for quite a while, so it was good therapy at the time, though very hot and humid. There's nothing I like more than buying some things for that little grandson, Robert. He turns 3 years old on June 24th.....let the spoiling begin. )))
The steroid I got during chemo gave me some issues this afternoon......very sleepy and some gastro type problems. Later this evening, that settled down and my stomach/chest feels better again. I'm not very tired.....again...probably the steroids...but will try to go to sleep in a little while. I am now starting finally to yawn.

Style Stealer: Kim Kardashian Goes Grey
This is Kim Kardashian's take on casual. The Vogue cover model took a break from her usual super-tight dresses/crop tops/skirts fashion routine while traipsing around New York City this week and I happen to think she should do so more often. This simple grey T paired with grey jeans, white pumps and a fitted double breasted blazer looks just as chic, in my opinion, as some of the finery she dons every other day of the week. Plus, if you care about such things, doing the monochromatic thing elongates the body and makes you look taller and slimmer, like a ruler or a pencil or a popsicle. Get the look after the jump!

Just a few weeks ago, the small gardens beneath the classroom windows blossomed with bright pink cosmos and what seemed like a ton of food: potatoes, lettuce, bell peppers and okra.
There had been a lot of lessons in that dirt, said fourth-grade teacher and avid gardener David Caolo.
This is where his students at Bishop Larkin Catholic School learned a little about horticulture, including the importance of weeding, proper plant spacing and giving a newly transplanted seedling a gentle shower. They learned where seeds come from and something about far-away places like Nigeria when they pulled apart the okra pod the sisters brought back from there.
They learned that potatoes are roots, and onions are too. Some of the soil was brought inside in recycled food jars so they could see root systems develop. With the help of culinary aficionado and assistant principal Sylvia Peters, they learned how to prepare the food from their first harvest for eating.
Every school day at 2:15 p.m. they headed outdoors to tend their gardens and delight in the progress.
The project cultivated teamwork among the students, Caolo said.
But recent winter frosts were brutal, leaving small swaths of brown, scrawny patches and a hoard of unripened tomatoes in their wake.
The students who tended the garden were disappointed. But there's a lesson in that, too, said their teacher. So he told them to harvest the green tomatoes anyway and leave them to ripen on their desks so they could eat them later on.
"They were pretty amazed that you could do that," Caolo said.
Then, last week, when the cold subsided, students started planting again: tomatoes, white impatiens and bright red gerber daisies.
They dug new holes and gently watered the new seedlings, and learned, perhaps, that life indeed springs eternal.

Seattle Starbucks Corp.'s fourth-quarter net income nearly doubled as its revenue rose 17% from a year earlier, handily beating estimates. The coffee giant raised its forecast for its fiscal 2011 profit.
Starbucks reported net income of $278.9 million. Sales rose 17.2% to $2.8 billion. Same-store sales were up 8%.
Next year Starbucks plans to open about 500 new stores around the world, including 100 in the United States and 400 internationally, most of which will be licensed. Globally, the chain will focus on Chinca, where it has experienced double-digit comp-store sales.
For the full year, Starbucks beat its own expectations with earnings of $945.6 million, compared with $390.8 million in fiscal 2009. Revenues for the full year were up 9.5% to $10.7 billion.

Daring Fireball's BlackBerry vs. iPhone is a brilliant write-up of the way in which the iPhone's upcoming '2.0' software release nails the BlackBerry device on all counts.
Read it, if you care about portable computing devices and the near future of computing in general.
So, yes, the iPhone (with 2.0 software) will create great demand from employees.
But Gruber didn't talk about one key aspect of how BlackBerries end up in employee's hands.
The IT department
In my experience, 'IT' controls purchasing, set-up and fulfilment of handheld devices.
And we all know how much the IT departments in companies care about their user's experience, don't' we?
The problem for Apple is going to be similar to getting Macs into the Enterprise – users want them, IT departments don't.
Will companies switch carriers?
Another hurdle – in the UK (as in the US), only a single carrier supplies the iPhone. Centralised IT/Comms provisioning would presumably resist the upheaval of moving the company's cell provider (or using a secondary provider) 'just' for the iPhone?
Unless Apple made the genius move of only locking themselves into consumer contracts with AT&T, o2, etc, Apple's brilliant handling of providers to drive incremental revenue share from individual consumer subscriptions may prevent Enterprise adoption because of the iPhone's self-imposed telco monoculture.
While consumers readily switch providers to get at an iPhone, will companies?
Will aggregated (and/or high-ranking) employee demand work instead?
Building up individual employee demand -may- will work for responsive, caring companies (and this will be a big deal in itself), but I'm afraid I'm sceptical about the chances of larger companies getting on the iPhone clue train.
I assume Apple plans to target CIOs and other 'ranking' employee types who will simply demand iphones, and without the 'Outlook defence', IT depts will have a hard time saying no.
Another possible Apple marketing angle – iPhones, unlike BlackBerries don't depend on offsite routing of email through RIM's optimisation servers (which have very publicly gone down a couple of times in the last year).
If anything makes execs itchy, it is the risk of losing handheld email service (and perhaps a realisation that their internal email is not on their network?).
Consumer iPhone by Stealth?
Actually, I think many employees will use their personally purchased iPhones to access their corporate LAN and access email.
I just don't think the IT department will be involved.

Sleep Disorders
Adult bedwetting
I am 39 yrs. old and have wet the bed most of my life. Have had a year or so gaps with little or no bedwetting. Now seems to happen each month around my menstural cycle, and if I have done a lot of physical activity all day, such as surfing. Just wonder if there is any advice for me. It pretty much sucks. Thanks a lot.
Bed wetting during sleep, also known as sleep enuresis, often has a variety of underlying causes. Sleep enuresis is quite common in children but begins to decrease in frequency once above the age of 5. Only about 1-2% of 18 year olds will have this problem and it becomes even less frequent in adulthood until urinary incontinence becomes a problem with aging (mostly in the elderly, over 65 year old, population).
Most cases of sleep enuresis in adulthood are due to other underlying medical problems and do not represent a problem with the urinary system per se, though urinary tract disorders can also lead to enuresis. These conditions include obstructive sleep apnea (repetitive airway closing in sleep), congestive heart failure, diabetes, urinary tract infections, nighttime seizures, depression, severe psychological stress, and dementia. Of course, excessive intake of fluids or substances that promote urination (i.e. diuretic medications, caffeine, and alcohol) can also lead nighttime bedwetting.
In your case, if you have had problems since childhood, then this may suggest some anatomic problem with your urinary tract system. The fact that physical activity worsens the problem lends support to this. However, the long gaps of time without symptoms may suggest another cause. There have been some studies linking urinary incontinence to the menstrual cycle, though the incontinence occurs mid cycle and not near menstruation. If you delivered children via natural childbirth or had any type of gynecologic surgery, your risk for developing enuresis would be increased.
In order to clarify the situation and get help, I recommend you discuss this issue with his Primary Care Physician or Gynecologist. Specific factors in your history will be useful in determining how best to further evaluate and treat this problem. Referral to a Urologist may be needed. Evaluation by a Sleep Specialist in your area might also be considered if there is concern for an underlying sleep disorder.
If you would like further information about sleep disorders or sleep itself, I recommend the American Academy of Sleep Medicine website. In addition to information about sleep medicine, the website also contains a list of accredited Sleep Centers and may help you to locate one nearest you, if needed. The website Sleep Education.com also can provide consumer-friendly information about sleep disorders. Good Luck!

Munich (May. 24)
A bill which if enacted would prohibit the schechita, the Jewish method of slaughtering animals for food, is now under consideration in the Constitution Committee of the Bavarian Diet.
In the language of the bill slaughtering animals without previous stunning would be prohibited. Ten Societies submitted petitions to the Diet in support of the bill. The All German Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is among the petitioners.
The leaders of the Jewish community in Bavaria submitted a memorandum in opposition to the bill, quoting the opinions of experts to the effect that the schechita method is humane. In the Committee the measure was vigorously supported by the nationalist deputies who demanded the prohibition in accordance with a Diet decision of 1926, while the Social Democrats, joined by the Bavarian Volkspartel Deputies, fought against it.

A NATIONAL campaign to halt the spread of bovine TB could change the face of the New Forest by halting the movement of cattle.
Under proposals drawn up by the Government, animal owners will have to get their cows tested by vets every time they are moved on or off the open forest.
In some cases the tests will need to be carried out every day, which could force Commoners to abandon their ancient way of life.
Now the Verderers, the organisation in charge of Forest stock, are urging the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) to introduce a licensing system instead.
The Forest is famous for its ponies but also has 3,500 cows owned by 140 Commoners.
Many of those living next door to common land turn their cattle out every day in the winter – and all the animals will have to be tested each time they leave their home if the DEFRA proposals are approved.
The threat to the Forest was revealed at the Court of Verderers in Lyndhurst.

Champlin City Council approved a preliminary 2013 operating budget and preliminary tax levy at their Sept. 10 council meeting.
The preliminary tax levy has increased by $604,775 in the General Fund and the debt levy increased by $474,100. The levy as presented represents an 8.71% increase from the 2012 levy. The preliminary proposed levy is the maximum amount that the city may levy for 2013 once the levy is approved. The City Council may choose to decrease the levy prior to final adoption in December but the levy may not be increased from the preliminary levy that is set.
The preliminary tax levy would have a net impact of a $2 decrease for the city tax portion of the property tax bill, on a median valued home of $166,000 (as compared to a median value home in 2011 of $181,000). The city council is adopting a preliminary levy without knowing the true tax effect to homeowners of all of the taxing districts.
The budget is preliminary in nature and is still under review by staff and the city council. The budget shows an increase from the budget that was adopted in 2012 of $457,280 (7.29 percent) of which $375,000 is for additional transfers to infrastructure.
A work session will be held with the city council on Oct. 1 for the purpose of staff presentation of a balanced budget and discussions with department heads regarding the final budget to be presented at the public hearing on Dec. 10 at 7 p.m. The public is encouraged to speak at the public hearing.

tastercakeswrote a review of Burton Cartel Re:Flex Snowboard Binding on January 25, 2011
Umm pretty sick just not for me
The theory is sick, I did enjoy the flex and the looks were rad. I hated the lack of stance options so I sent them back and used Union contacts which to me are an awesome binding. Plus you dont have to rock Burton! I thought I would give the Cartels a try and wasn't impressed especially with what else is available for less. But I will say that the build was great, they arent a bad binding just not for me.

Laramie, Wyo. - The Cowboy defense posted one of its best performances of the season to help guide the University of Wyoming football team to a 41-14 homecoming win over UNLV on Saturday in front of 22,985 fans at War Memorial Stadium. UW's fourth-consecutive win over the Rebels in Laramie gave the Cowboys their first Mountain West win and improved them to 4-2 overall.
Wyoming steadily built a 20-0 lead in the first quarter, before the Rebels (1-5) scored two touchdowns of their own to go into halftime down by six. The Cowboy defense stepped up in the second half by forcing five three-and-outs, a turnover on downs and a fumble to allow the UW offense to add 13 more points in the blowout. Wyoming's other score in the second half came courtesy of a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown by junior Chris McNeill.
"I thought our defense came out in the second half, after we really challenged them at halftime, and just shut them down," UW head coach Dave Christensen said. "UNLV got a little momentum in the first half after we turned the ball over on the punt return, and they had to stay out there and gave up the touchdown. From that point on in the game, we just started making plays in all areas."
Senior defensive tackle Gabe Knapton paced UW's defensive effort with 10 tackles and a sack to move into eighth on the school's all-time tackle chart. Fellow senior Brian Hendricks added 10 tackles also, while junior safety Luke Ruff notched 10 stops as well. Junior defensive tackle Ben Durbin added two sacks. Junior Luke Anderson had an interception and Kurt Taufa'asau recovered a fumble for the two turnovers.
"I think it was a great day for the defense," Knapton said. "We showed what we're capable of and what we can do if we all play assignment-sound. We had guys step up like Ben Durbin and Kurt (Tau'fauasau). They did a great job. I think we all came together and got a team win."
Offensively, freshman quarterback Brett Smith tallied 96 passing yards and two touchdowns on a 10-of-19 performance, while adding 59 yards on the ground. Freshman wide receiver Josh Doctson had three catches for 11 yards, as Smith hit eight different Cowboys for completions during the game. Junior running back Alvester Alexander rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown.
"We emphasized playing more disciplined and not having stupid penalties," Christensen said. "Our kids did a great job of that. The main thing is we found a way to win a football game, and that's the bottom line."
Wyoming outgained UNLV 231-154 on the ground and earned a 355-258 advantage in total yards, while going 4-4 in redzone chances. The Rebels committed nine penalties for 73 yards to one for five for UW.
The Cowboys received the ball to start the game and dominated the majority of the first quarter. Smith started the game with a 27-yard rush, before finding freshman wide receiver Dominic Rufran wide open over the middle four plays later for a 41-yard touchdown pass. The drive took just 1:28 and put UW up 6-0 after the Cowboys missed the point-after attempt.
The UW defense showed it came to play also, as Anderson intercepted Sean Reilly on UNLV's first pass attempt and returned the ball 12 yards to the Rebel 43-yard line. The pick was the first of Anderson's UW career. The Cowboys went to the ground on the ensuing drive with six-straight rushes, including a one-yard plunge by Alexander for his 25th career rushing touchdown. The score tied him for fifth all-time in UW's record book, while the extra point put the Cowboys on top 13-0 five minutes into the contest.
The squads exchanged punts, before UNLV crossed midfield for the first time in the game. Durbin came up with a highlight-reel sack on the next play, though, and UNLV was forced back onto its side of the field and into a punt.
UW responded with another touchdown to go up 20-0 with seven seconds left in the first quarter. The Cowboys couldn't convert a fourth-and-six from UNLV's 37, but a pass interference penalty gave UW the first down and Smith tossed his second touchdown pass of the game two plays later. Once again he found a UW receiver wide open over the middle, this time sophomore Spencer Bruce, for the score. The touchdown was the first of Bruce's career.
The Rebels climbed back into the game in the second quarter with two touchdowns of their own. Wyoming muffed a punt that the Rebels jumped on at the UW 29 and punched into the endzone nine plays later. Tim Cornett rushed in from three-yards out with 7:03 left in the half to put UNLV on the scoreboard.
The Rebel defense held the Cowboys to a three-and-out on the next drive and crafted a balanced drive for UNLV's second score of the half. The Rebels' 65-yard march took 2:51 and drew UNLV within 20-14 with 3:12 to go, as the teams would go into the break at the same score.
Smith completed 6-of-12 passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns in the half, while adding 65 yards on the ground. Alexander has 30 rushing yards on five attempts and all six of Smith's completions went to different UW players. Knapton had seven tackles to pace the UW defense. The squads had almost identical stats with total yards at 187-183 UW and rushing yards at 119-104 UNLV.
The Cowboys came out with renewed passion to start the second half, as the Cowboy defense held UNLV to three consecutive three-and-outs and UW put 10 points on the board. Wyoming drove to the UNLV eight on its first drive of the half, before settling for a 24-yard field goal from freshman Daniel Sullivan to extend their lead to 23-14.
The teams exchanged punts again, before McNeill took a UNLV punt 76 yards to the house with 2:50 to go in the third quarter. The play was McNeill's first career punt return for a touchdown and UW's first since 2004.
With two minutes left in the quarter, the Rebels crossed midfield but came up short on a fourth-down attempt. On the drive, Knapton moved into a tie for eighth all-time on UW's tackle chart with 324 stops in his career.
The Cowboys dialed up some trickery to start the fourth quarter with McNeill completing a 28-yard touchdown pass to Smith on the first play. Smith handed off to McNeill on a sweep and snuck out to the left side of the formation, as McNeill stopped and tossed the ball back to him. Smith outran one UNLV defender down the sideline to give UW a commanding 36-14 advantage. McNeill completed a two-point pass attempt on the next play for a 38-14 Wyoming lead. The touchdown pass by McNeill and touchdown catch for Smith were both career firsts.
Wyoming once again held UNLV to a three-and-out, but was forced to punt on their possession as well. The Cowboy defense forced the Rebels into a turnover on UNLV's next drive. Senior defensive end Josh Biezuns sacked Reilly from behind and was able to strip the ball, while Taufa'asau fell on it deep in Rebel territory. An ensuing 28-yard field goal from Sullivan put UW in front 41-14 with 6:18 to go and that's how the game would end.
Knapton earned a sack on a late drive, which moved him into sole possession of eighth on UW's all-time tackle chart.
Wyoming has a bye week, before returning to action on Oct. 29 at San Diego State. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. MT.

ASK A QUESTION Como se dice " agua de jamaica"
El agua de flor de jamaica es muy saludable
6 Answers
Flor de Jamaica is hibiscus in English, and the hot infusion thereof called hibiscus tea.
I've never seen it drunk cold in English and do not know of a standard name for it...
How about "ice Ibiscus tea" ?
Bienvenido al foro!
This is the best I can make of it.
The water of the flower of Jamaica is very healthy.
El agua de la flor de Jamaica...
If we are discussing a hydrosol obtain from distilling the petals or other part of the flower it would probably be called Jamaican rose water. (like Rose Water or Orange Water). Otherwise, it would probably be called a juice, extract, syrup, tea, etc. of the flower depending on how it is derived.
"agua de jamaica" in Mexico is a known in the carribean as "sorrel". The leaves are dried, then boiled and you add sugar to the drink, usually around Christmas time.
I recall the first time I ever came across this drink. I was vacationing in Los Cabos, México and was wondering why would anyone call un refresco after a country, right? I was intrigued by this purplish liquid in a large jar and was quite pleased when I requested some from the puesto proprietor...bottoms up! (gringo's on point!)

No. 16 Miami at Clemson, noon, ESPN2
Clemson DE Da'Quan Bowers was the country's No. 1 prospect, according to some recruiting services two years ago and finally seems to be living up to his potential. He has five tackles for loss and is a fixture in opposing backfields. Both teams are opening ACC play, and the Hurricanes (2-1) lead it in total defense (252 yards per game). They will key on Andre Ellington and Jamie Harper, who have helped the Tigers (2-1) average 215 rushing yards, third in the ACC. The teams have met three times since the Hurricanes joined the conference. All have gone to overtime with the road team coming out on top each time.

Saturn 31, Swans 41
SATURN were knocked out of the Somerset Cup at the semi-final stage after losing 41-31 to Swans.
Saturn were slow out of the starting blocks, which Swans capitalised on, pulling away from the offset and leading 12-7 at the end of the first quarter.
With renewed vigour, Saturn started the second quarter more positively, pulling back level with Swans following great movement and shots from the shooting duo of Sammy Kemmish and Katy Cheese.
However, Swans weren't about to give up and despite pressure in the defensive circle by GK Sally Haysham, the Swans shooters rarely missed, still leading 22-18 at half time.
Saturn knew they had to dig deep in the second half to turn this game around if they were going to make it to Cup Final Day.
Both teams were evenly matched in the third period, as Imogen Setter at centre kept pace with the opposition, pressurising each pass.
Whilst player of the match, Michelle Stone at WD, made numerous defensive interceptions, keeping Saturn in with a fighting chance.
The final quarter saw an increase in urgency from Swans, who successfully turned over missed shots from Saturn with ease to pull away with 41-31 victory.
Mars 19, Hendford 59
MARS fielded another new line up for their cup game against Henford.
The game was end to end, with Henford taking the lead despite some good shooting by Aerin Phillips (GS) and good defending by Emily Harwood (GD).
Half time saw team changes due to injury, with Kayleigh Haste moving to GK, Cerys Etheridge to GA and Elaine Bartlett to C.
The team worked well and never gave up, but lost 59-19.
Player of the match Kayleigh Haste.
Neptune 37, Wyndham 59
SATURDAY saw Neptune take on Wyndham for the second time this season with a new line up.
Neptune started strongly and kept a handle of the experienced opposition in the first quarter.
The Neptune defence of Coleen Bartlett (GK) and Morgan Middleton (GD) worked hard in the circle getting some vital interceptions despite Wyndham narrowly taking the lead 11-7.
Neptune continued to pressurise the game with some impressive shooting from player of the match, Lianne Fothergill (GS), supported by Karis Holleron (GA) and later by Sarah Perry.
However, Wyndham started to pull away with the match, with the half time score 14-32.
Changes were made in the second half of the game and were much more effective as Neptune played some positive netball, with good movement from centre court players Dawn Fothergill (C) and Annia Holleron (WD).
Neptune finished the match strongly, although too late, as the final score was 37-59.

OutMusic Awards countdown: Pop song nominees
Last December we were pretty excited about the OutMusic awards because Dallas' own Gary Floyd was up for three of them. But the day came and without a whole lot of fanfare, the awards were postponed. Ouch. That initial sting is gone and now the awards are set for May 23, three weeks from today, and take place at Live Nation's Irving Plaza in New York.
With 20 awards to be handed out, along with the usual special awards and honors, I'm going to post some of the nominees, as well as introduce some LGBT artists that may not be on your radar, every Monday up until the awards happen. We'll talk more about Floyd as the time comes, but in the meantime, enjoy these nominees after the jump in the Pop Song category.
Anti-gay musician Buju Binton's Dallas show canceled
Change.org reported yesterday that concert promoter Live Nation has canceled Buju Binton's concert at the House of Blues in October. Live Nation was under fire by the people at Change who protested Live Nation's involvement with the Jamaician dancehall musician and petitioned members to boycott the promoters. Binton is notorious for including severely homophobic remarks in his songs.
Live Nation announced the cancellation yesterday which included his Dallas and Houston shows, both at House of Blues.
Kettle Art owner and artist Frank Campagna paints the concert panels House of Blues posts outside. He read about the cancellation today from the Advocate. "I painted this sucker for them and now it's no good. And that's just fine because obviously he's no good," Campagna said.

More 7QT over at Jen's Conversion Diary
1. Why do we have a love/hate relationship with Candy Corn? No one likes candy corn to eat it year round, but when it comes to this season no one can stop gorging themselves with it from the candy dish on the table.Ginny S. addresses this problem.
2. NPR covers the strained Foster Care system. I mention it over at Alexandria.
Alex Morales, the CEO of the Children's Bureau of Southern California, says the U.S. needs to focus on how it's going to prevent this problem in the first place. "How do you reduce the situation so that you don't have 140,000 reports going on in a year?" Morales says. "You try to start very early with families … prevention is ultimately the direction we need to invest in." While prevention may be the key, Morales says there's still a crisis going on with Los Angeles Foster Care. There just aren't enough homes to take in kids, and that ongoing crisis in Los Angeles is one that reflects a national problem.
3. Remember when we use to call prevention, marriage? That was about a decade ago. What happened. Back in 2002, (Remember this when you read the quote) PBS Frontline covers the decline in marriage and the effects on children. That's right, PBS. It reads like it was directed from the Family Research Council. This was when marriage, meant marriage, and not some paranoid media campaign to target anyone who says marriage is really in a grand conspiracy against homosexual persons.
""Let's Get Married" traces the evolution of the public policy debate over marriage -- from Daniel Patrick Moynihan's explosive 1965 report on the erosion of the African-American family, to 1992, when Vice President Dan Quayle's criticism of TV character Murphy Brown's unwed pregnancy made headlines. But FRONTLINE's interviews with social scientists and researchers reveal how -- on both the right and the left -- there is a growing consensus that, all things being equal, two-parent families are best for children."For those whodon't remember, marriage as a matter of public policy and the community was a pretty serious discussion about the needs to stop the fragmenting of the family. The focus was a foundation, and not 'the frosting.' Remember when they reference two parents, it was a reference that both parents were in fact biological kin to the child. Now when people say two parents, it doesn't matter if both are strangers.
4. "Before the government hands over a child to strangers all efforts to find family must be exhausted" Yes, that is still our public policy.
5. The Catholic Church speaks up against the redefining of breakdown of marriage in the 1880 version. In fact here reference the breakdown within the Bible and over the course of history.
". This form of marriage, however, so excellent and so pre-eminent, began to be corrupted by degrees, and to disappear among the heathen; and became even among the Jewish race clouded in a measure and obscured. For in their midst a common custom was gradually introduced, by which it was accounted as lawful for a man to have more than one wife; and eventually when "by reason of the hardness of their heart,"(3) Moses indulgently permitted them to put away their wives, the way was open to divorce. But the corruption and change which fell on marriage among the Gentiles seem almost incredible, inasmuch as it was exposed in every land to floods of error and of the most shameful lusts. All nations seem, more or less, to have forgotten the true notion and origin of marriage; and thus everywhere laws were enacted with reference to marriage, prompted to all appearance by State reasons, but not such as nature required. "Remember... 1880.
6. Nihilism hurts the young the most. By Thomas Gelsthrope
Nineteenth-century nihilism achieved the status of an official philosophy derived from the Latin word for "nothing," and explainable with all manner of high-falutin' jargon, arguing that true knowledge is unattainable, all morality is subjective, human existence is without meaning or purpose, and so on. For the purposes of this column, it can be condensed into a two-word sentence: "Life stinks."
7. This news article bothered me. Men can be important, no matter their profession. Second community forum on violence in Cleveland geared toward men, explores link between fatherless upbringing and crime
"Boys in our community are being raised by gangs and by wayward men, who also had no role models growing up," Conwell said. "We need more men with skills and resources – more lawyers, doctors, men with MBAs -- to help us out."I know men who do not have degrees or a lot of resources, but they are not in gangs or wayward. But then again, this community may have absolutely no working/middle class either.

Just two days before the Season 2 debut of HBO's Veep, real life Vice-President Joe Biden spent some time with his fictional counterpart. Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Friday. The meeting was part of the Being Biden series where the VP's office sends out a picture via his Twitter account with accompanying audio explaining what is going on in the photo. The series debuted on the White House website on March 3. The Emmy-winning Louis-Dreyfus, who plays high maintenance and ineffectual Vice-President Selina Meyer on the HBO series, did the voice-over for today's segment. "This is a picture of two vice presidents hard at work in the vice president's office in the West Wing. I came to have lunch with Vice President Joe Biden, and I surprise him by sitting at his desk, so he thought he'd just ask my advice on various briefs he had to deal with. And I was happy to give him my advice, which he paid no attention to whatsoever, which is why he is such a wise vice president. And we had a lovely lunch, and it is a day I will never forget," she said. Not that the real VP is limiting himself to an online audience. Besides the five Being Biden segments that have gone up so far, the real VP made a cameo back in November on NBC's Parks And Recreation. Veep returns on April 14 at 10 PM on HBO.

Your tax dollars at work.
Not the appropriate forum I know, but Biden AND Obama each paid 18.4% in taxes for 2012. EIGHTEEN POINT FOUR! When everyone — EVERYONE — was savaging Romney for paying three measly points less?
Is the TOTAL absence of outrage due to the fact that everyone is in a state of muted shock at Obama's "fair share" hypocrisy, or has everyone been so brainwashed that their warped minds have found a way to believe that this is somehow okay?
The difference, of course, is that Obama and Biden have campaigned to raise their own tax rates. The President has explicitly said "I should be paying more in taxes." So there's no hypocrisy at all, is there?
of course this government can't accomplish real change when its leaders are hamming it up for sitcoms. What's next, a Michele Obama exercise video?
I'll be sure to mention that to Sen. John McCain (Parks and Recreation) the next time I run into him.
Love love love Julia. And she would probably make a better vp than the one we are stuck with. Not to mention the other guy we are stuck with. Violins, Rome etc.
She would probably make a better vp than the one we are stuck with
Hmm. If Biden is so terrible, what does that say about Paul Ryan and Caribou Barbie?
Neatly overlooking the previous administration that got us in this mess in the first place.
That's okay, though. People like me will be there to remind you.
Because Obama is in his second term, that inept previous term you're referring to is actually Obama's first term. Oops. So yeah, Obama inherited a mess… from himself. Lolz.
Funniest half hour on tv….I don't understand why it gets overshadowed by Girls and Enlightened. Real comedic genius in front of and behind camera.
"… which is why he is such a wise vice president."
If she delivered that line with a straight-face, she deserves a dozen Emmys!
Wow…"Being Biden"…can we get that on DVD? That sounds like riveting viewing.
Please tell me this jacka$$ doesn't think he has a shot at being president…uh…what…oh yeah, I forgot who 51% of the voters were dumb enough to vote for last time. I guess Biden might have a shot afterall. Hair Plug Joe vs Old Hag Hillary!
You might want to refrain from references to "VP" and "has a shot at" since that is certain to bring up references to the last (disastrous) administration.
Imagine the insanity and fury from the left if this had happened with Dick Cheney…
It's not like Biden could be doing something useful. Like trying to stop a nuclear escalation with North Korea. On second thought…maybe let's have him play Veep with the actors and let someone else handle North Korea.
Yes, that forty-five minutes means that North Korea is now going to nuke Seattle.
This is puzzling. As anyone who sees "Veep' knows, the show depicts everyone in Washington as arrogant, obscene, unproductive and incompetent jerks. Clearly this guest appearance was done more for the delight of the cast and producers than for the audience.
Can people stop saying this idiotic sentence every time a politician shows up anywhere besides their office? Such a reactionary and ignorant comment. They're public servants.. not slaves.
When we are under attack from Iran and Biden spends all day at an open call for "Glee" then races to his shift at the saddle ranch, maybe complain then. But is the man not allowed to film a guest spot? Do you say "your dollars hard at work" every time you see war footage? Or when Bush spent 8 years as Crawford Texas' Number 1 brush clearer?
Don't you people ever get tired of this constant bashing? Like Bush never played golf while he was in office or Cheney didn't go for the occasional hunting trip. The 'right' and 'left' are equally vile when the other is in office – so GET OVER IT!
Ha ha ha. She called him "wise"..wait, she WAS joking, right ?
I was wrong on my earlier post to say that our present administration sucks. What I should have said is that EVERY POLITICIAN AND WOULD-BE PUBLIC SERVANT SUCKS! I had such great hopes (as we all did) for Obama and he has turned out to be no different than the guy with the Texas swagger. As Frank Capra said in "Meet John Doe" (via Walter Brennan) "The world is being shaved by a drunken barber and there's not a damn thing we can do about it"…
The anger from the GOP is amazing. It seeps into a photo of Julia Louis Dreyfua and the Vice President. The job everyone says is ineffectual unless the POTUS dies. But somehow people take issue with the VP taking a few minutes to take a photo with a woman playing the VP on TV. Like this photo is going to prevent Biden from doing his job that everyone says is a nothing job. LET IT GO FOLKS
They can't. When a false sense of victimization fuels you, your stomach is never full. And the weed of Conservatism bears bitter fruit.
Republicanism does not pay.
The Shadow knows.
90 million unemployed and Barry and the Gaffe Master are have the time of their lives.
"twenty years o' schoolin' and they put you on the day shift"–Bob Dylan. Like i said…all politicians are useless, just want to keep their jobs by building bridges to nowhere and are the complete antithesis of true public servants.
Yeah 90 million, and that's not even counting child laborers.
I don't know how she does it, but I swear she just keeps getting hotter. She needs to reveal her secret and give it to us normal folks.

De Ceuvel is a planned workplace for creative and social enterprises adjacent to the van Hasselt kanaal off the river IJ in Amsterdam North. The land was secured for a 10-year lease from the Municipality of Amsterdam after a group of initiators won a tender to turn the site into a regenerative urban oasis.
The former industrial plot will be turned into the most unique and sustainable urban developments in Europe. The site, which is now heavily polluted, will feature imaginatively retrofitted houseboats placed around a winding bamboo walkway and surrounded by an undulating landscape of soil-cleaning plants. Each of the upgraded boats will house offices, ateliers, or workshops for creative and social enterprises. The plan also includes a public restaurant, Ceuvel Café, and a bed & breakfast.
