Another urging hiss from behind me-okay hold onto your horses, I'm going. Five to ten paces takes me over the track, and now I scan the creek ahead trying to peer through the underbrush, to detect signs of enemy presence. Jesus, it's quiet; unnaturally quiet.another obviously more urgent hiss is sent out to attract my attention. Looking back over my shoulder I see the enemy soldier immediately; he is on the track looking directly at me.apparently oblivious to my presence. Has he seen me? screams through my brain. No!. Suddenly, the bastard takes off like a startled jackrabbit. Couldn't hold it together any longer, I think, as I try to get a shot in-but it's hopeless, no point in firing.in any case the remainder of the patrol is now thundering towards me...With his remarkably observant eye, Terry O'Farrell's personal account of his career as an SAS soldier vividly captures not only the military actions of his time in Vietnam, but the human aspects of soldiering-from surviving the intense selection process and training, to dealing with the ever-present fear of combat...Terry relives the long tense stretches on patrol in the jungle, ears ever alert to the sounds of the surrounding terrain and being caught by surprise and sudden contact with the enemy. He also entertains his readers with colourful tales of his experiences off the battlefield-the larrakin pranks during training, visits to Mama San and her girls, and the friendship and mutual trust that forms between soldiers...An absorbing, frank and humorous reflection, Behind Enemy Lines is a first-hand insight into the mind of a young SAS soldier...'Captures the true day to day existence of an Infantry solider.I had tears rolling down my face at some of the shenanigans.to being brought back to the nasty reality that was the war we all knew.

Gary Menes to Pop-up at Tiara Cafe: A Counter Experiment
Gary Menes cooking at Marche
Anne Fishbein
Gary Menes (Marché, Palate Food + Wine, Patina) has been working on opening his own place in downtown L.A. since he decamped from Palihouse after a short run. It should not come as a surprise that he's not quite ready to open. It should also not come as a surprise that he's been cooking anyway. The brick-and-mortar restaurant project being a willing suspension of disbelief sometimes as much as a long experiment in location scouting. Menes will be popping up at Fred Eric's Tiara Cafe, starting Thursday, October 13th and running for three nights -- Thursday, Friday and Saturday -- a week for maybe six weeks, or whenever it suits Menes and Eric not to do it anymore.
Menes will be serving his food at Tiara Cafe's counter, in what will in effect be a 12-seat open kitchen experiment. Eric's restaurant isn't open at night anyway, so both chefs deemed it a fun use of their time and resources, and Fred Eric's hilarious restaurant-as-art-installation space. There won't be reservations: It's first come, first counter stool. Eric is "the godfather of downtown," says Menes, who has known Eric for years. Menes and his longtime sous chef Wesley Avila will be doing pretty much everything, from cooking to serving to chatting with whomever is sitting at the counter. "I've worked in open kitchens before; I can see what works and what doesn't." Menes says that the idea he's working on for his own eventual restaurant will be an open counter-y place anyway, so this way "I can try out my concept."
As for what Menes will be serving, look for a 5 course menu for $45 using very local ingredients, many of which will probably be sourced from an urban farm in Menes' Long Beach neighborhood. Also probably some of the bread that Menes has been baking himself in Eric's deck oven. In other words, whatever strikes Menes as good to cook for you when you sit down at the counter. "It's going to have an omakase feel," said Menes. The counter will be open from 6 p.m. until 10, or "until the food runs out."
Gary Menes at Tiara Cafe: 5 courses for $45, October 13th through maybe the end of November, 3 nights a week. No reservations, but check Menes' twitter feed (@garymenes) and his Facebook page for updates.

The Great Escape (1963)
172 mins
The Perfect War Escapism
Well, with your permission, sir, I think I'll all on kives. Er, call on Ives - MacDonald
As a child I feel lucky that every year, sometimes even twice a year "The Great Escape", that bastion of never say die spirit, was shown on TV. It may cause some to groan when it now gets an occasional airing but for me "The Great Escape" reminds me that no matter how bad things appear, it doesn't mean you should just accept it. Which is all quite deep and a little profound for what is essentially one of the most entertaining, star studded, macho fuelled movies to have been made causing young children to enact out their favourite scenes whilst digging up their parents gardens and emulating Steve McQueen in the motorbike jump scene. But behind all the machismo and entertainment "The Great Escape" is also a poignant story about the men who despite being captured during the Second World War carried on fighting even though they new their efforts would most likely end in death.
In 1943, the Germans have created a new maximum security POW camp known as Stalag Luft North, created to hold all those prisoners determined to escape. But unwittingly the Germans have assembled the best escape team possible and under the guidance of Squadron Leader Roger Bartlett "Big X" (Richard Attenborough - The Lost World: Jurassic Park), the group including Flight Lt. Hendley "The Scrounger" (James Garner - Up Periscope), Flight Lt. Danny Velinski "The Tunnel King" (Charles Bronson - The Magnificent Seven) and Captain Hilts "The Cooler King" (Steve McQueen - The Towering Inferno) they set about staging the biggest and craftiest escapes in the history of the war.
Now I have to say that whilst I find "The Great Escape" completely entertaining, there is no doubt in my mind that although based on a true story there has been a serious amount of liberty taking in turning that story into something cinematic. What I mean is that "The Great Escape" blends different elements such as humour, action with that never say die spirit to make it fun, entertaining and watch able. In the opening scenes where the prisoners enter the new camp, there are a lot of humorous moments along with bravado and machismo making you smile rather than feel depressed at the situation. It's these sorts of liberties along with the composite characters and chain of events which stop it being 100% real and it's not a bad thing, because I am sure the depressing world of these POW camps would not have made for such an entertaining yet uplifting movie.
What is quite surprising is that once you get passed the situation of these prisoners of war, the movie actually plays like a heist movie rather than a war movie. Sounds strange, but if you look at all those well known heist movies such as "The Italian Job" and "Ocean's Eleven" they all go through three stages. You have the getting together of the group and the planning, this is followed by the actual heist and then ends with the get away. "The Great Escape" follows that routine with the prisoners of war all being thrown in together in the one camp, it then goes through all the clever planning, which it has to be said is both ingenious and real, then you get the actual escape followed by the attempted get away. It is a classic heist formula, just without the robbery and it has to be said it plays the formula better than any heist movie I have watched. The inspired ingenuity of the men, the way they covered their tracks, got equipment through cunning and disguised their activities are just some of the reasons why "The Great Escape" is so entertaining
Of course "The Great Escape" is a movie which is famous for the Steve McQueen motorbike jump scene as he attempts his escape. But that is but one moment in what is a movie which is filled with memorable scenes many of which manage to combine action, with emotion as well as a sense of the dangers these men faced. One of the most memorable scenes for me is when the tunnel collapses whilst the men are digging. It may not be the most action packed scene but it delivers the realism of the situation, that these men put their lives seriously on the line in order to make their captors lives miserable.
Whilst "The Great Escape" manages to be entertaining, humorous and action packed it is credit that between director John Sturges and writers James Clavell and W.R. Burnett they have still managed to show a glimpse of what life was like for these prisoners of war. I am not talking about the darkness of the situation, although watching Flying Officer Archibald Ives losing it hits home the desperate situation, but the camaraderie amongst these men. You do get the sense that despite the situation they found encouragement from each other to lift their spirits when they became down and made the unlikeliest of friendships, which probably wouldn't have happened in normal life. It's this side of the movie which helps to make it more than just an escape movie and that it highlights clearly that these men knew that they would die if captured really makes it quite a poignant tribute to those men, the real men not the characters in the movie, who died in action.
John Sturges also has to take a lot of credit for not just assembling a star studded cast which features the likes of Richard Attenborough, James Garner, Charles Bronson, Steve McQueen, James Coburn, David McCallum, Gordon Jackson and Donald Pleasance as well as far too many more to give credit to, but he creates characters, even the minor ones, which we care for, we will them on to escape and get emotionally connected to them when their lives are in danger. Yes Steve McQueen may be the first name to crop up when you mention "The Great Escape" either for that motorbike jump scene or because he does stick out a bit like a sore thumb. But the rest of the cast play in harmony, there is no one star more important than another and they all manage to deliver that believable camaraderie along with enough machismo to make them both entertaining but also likable.
Now here is the thing you have a male dominated movie, one which is all about male camaraderie and machismo, there is no whiff of romance or a prominent female character, which taking into account what the movie is about makes sense. But even so, and even though many women will groan at the mere mention of "The Great Escape" it is a movie which is as much loved by women as it is men. I have no idea why because theoretically it shouldn't but something about the movie, the humour, the characters, the indomitable spirit makes it appealing to who ever watches it.
What this all boils down to is that "The Great Escape" is a great movie and should get an annual airing on TV. It may not be a completely realistic war movie which revels in the darkness of the situation but it is one which demonstrates that fighting spirit, making it somewhat inspirational. It is also entertaining, humorous and full of action without destroying the emotional, poignant meaning of the story. It's also a lesson to all those heist movies, because it shows how to work that formula to perfection.

Togo Murano
Tōgo Murano (村野 藤吾 Murano Tōgo, May 15, 1891 – November 26, 1984) was a Japanese architect. Although his formative years were between 1910 and 1930,[1] he remained active in design throughout his life and at the time of his death was responsible for over three hundred completed projects.[2]
Although his work lacked a distinctive singular style[3] he was recognised as a master of the modern interpretation of the sukiya style.[4] His work included large public buildings as well as hotels and department stores and he has been recognised as one of Japan's modern masters.
After serving two years in a volunteer military corps Murano entered the Department of Electrical Engineering at Waseda University in 1913. In 1915 he transferred to the Architecture Department before graduating in 1918.[5] Unlike his contemporaries, he moved from Tōkyō to Ōsaka and started work at the Kansai office of Setsu Watanabe. Murano spent eleven years at Watanabe's office learning all aspects of design and working on many large projects such as offices, commercial buildings and cultural facilities. In 1920 he was sent to America and Europe to further his knowledge and architectural vocabulary. In 1929 he left Watanabe to start his own office.[6]
During the Taishō Period when culture in Japan became liberated for the first time from authority, culture became politicised and nationalistic overtones brought modernist architects into conflict with the state. The liberal Murano channelled this conflict into an interest into sukiya architecture which allowed him to balance tradition and modernisation in his work.[7] Unlike his contemporary, Antonin Raymond, Murano courted simplicity, concentrating on the high arts like tea ceremony and conceptual elegance.[8] As well producing many sukiya-style buildings, such as the Kasuien Annex to the Miyako Hotel in Kyoto, Murano used the sukiya style to incorporate Japanese tradition with borrowed elements of Western style.[9] The emphasis of the sukiya style on surfaces, the juxtaposition of materials and elaborate details can be found in his work, for example, the mother-of-pearl encrusted ceiling of the Nihon Seimei Hibiya Building and Nissei Theatre in Tōkyō.[10]
In 1949 Murano reorganised his office and entered into partnership with Tiuchi Mori.[11] During Murano's trip to Europe in the 1920s he became interested in Nordic architecture. Aspects of Saarinen's and Östberg's work such as Stockholm City Hall can be seen in his post-war projects such as the Memorial Cathedral for World Peace (1954), Yonago Public Hall (1958) and the Round Library at Kansai University (1959).[12] Some of his later projects introduced angular motifs, circular plans and sensuous curves (like the Tanimura Art Museum in Itoigawa). In others, like the Industrial Bank of Japan, he blurred the boundaries between wall and ground.[13]
The scope of Murano's work throughout his career covered many styles of architecture. He was influenced by Japanese and Western architecture but did not commit himself to one particular ideology.[14] Although the sheer volume of his work led him to be criticised as simply a commercial architect,[15] he always gave top priority to the requirements of his clients.[16]
He was the author of a few publications in his lifetime. These included Staying above style! in 1919 and The Economic Environment of Architecture in 1926. In his 1931 Looking While Moving he riled against Le Corbusier and the Modern Movement and declared that the skyscrapers of Manhattan were the way forward.[17]
In addition to his works of architecture, Murano designed the first-class lounge and dining rooms for the luxury cruise ships, Argentina Maru and Brazil Maru, both launched in 1939. The ships were sunk during World War II.[18]
In 1973 Murano was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Waseda University. Docomomo listed five of Murano's buildings in its selection of the 100 most important Japanese modernist buildings. Japanese design magazine Casa Brutus named Murano one of Japan's modern masters in their April 2009 special issue.[19]
Morigo Company Tokyo branch[edit]
This was Murano's debut work after he left Setsu Watanabe's office. Completed in 1931 the Morigo building was a seven storey office building situated in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. The baked salt tiles on the façade give it a warmer presence to the street than would normally be expected for a building of its size. The regularly spaced windows sit flush to external face of the wall and this along with the curved corner and expressed eaves-line reduce visual clutter and give the building clean lines. In 1960 an eighth floor was added but this has not been detrimental to the overall appearance.[20]
Ube City Public Hall[edit]
To celebrate 40 years in industry, Ube Industries donated this building to the city of Ube in 1937 to commemorate its founder Yūsaku Watanabe. The complex was designed around a fan shape with the backstage areas at the pinch point of the fan radiating in turn out to the stage, auditorium and entrance plaza. Six free-standing concrete finned columns (three to each side) frame the main entrance and represent each of the six affiliated companies who donated money for the building. Originally the tiles on the three concentric circles of the main façade had a salt-glazed finish in burnt carmine, but during restoration work in 1994 they were replaced with reductive fired tiles in burnt umber. The exposed concrete columns were also painted at that time.[21]
The interior of the building reveals more decorative details than the volumetric exterior. Massive circular columns support curving spaces that are lit by indirect natural daylight. The reverse-slab construction of the roof was a pioneer of its day and both the acoustics and visibility are recognised as being excellent.[22]
Memorial Cathedral for World Peace[edit]
The original Catholic cathedral in this location was destroyed in the atomic bomb explosion in 1945. A design competition was launched in 1947 to find an architect for its replacement. A total of 177 designs were submitted from Japanese architects such as Kenzo Tange and Kunio Maekawa, but no overall winner was declared.[23] Murano ended up doing the design although he was actually one of the jurors.
The cathedral is situated between Tange's Peace Memorial Park and JR Hiroshima Station. The volumetric treatment of the design was influenced by Auguste Perret, whereas the inclusion of a circular dome over the sanctuary and small cylindrical chapels on either side of the main volume are echoes of Byzantine architecture.[24] The post-and-beam concrete frame with internal panels is reminiscent of traditional Japanese architecture as are the shapes of the windows penetrating the tower. The brick infills in this case were made from earth containing ashes from the atomic bomb and are laid so that their rough surfaces cast shadows across the façade. Architect Kenji Imai designed the sculptures above the main door. Murano undertook a number of religious projects after this one and converted to Catholicism later in life.[25]
Kasuien, Miyako Hotel[edit]
Murano designed this annex to the Miyako Hotel in Kyoto in a sukiya style. The site plan of Kasuien is laid out to enclose a garden and was inspired by Kyoto's Daigo-ji. The annex is set out as a series of pavilions set within the sloped landscape and connected by enclosed walkways. Although the overtone of the design is one of the Sukiya tradition, ordered by the principles of the tea ceremony, Murano grafted onto this his own modern interpretation by the use of materials like steel and concrete as the primary structure. He used these materials to change otherwise traditional details making them slimmer and lighter.[26]
Nishinomiya Trappist Monastery[edit]
The Nishinomiya Trappist Monastery designed in 1969 is situated in the Rokko Mountains in Japan. It is home to about 90 sisters. The building is located on a sloped site in woodland and is planned around an elevated cloister onto which the building elements face. Although it has been compared to Le Corbusier's La Tourette it differs by having a much more intimate relationship with its natural surroundings and a lighter façade.[27]

The Impact of Hurricane Katrina on the Coastal Vegetation of the Weeks Bay Reserve, Alabama from NDVI Data

Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data were used to investigate vegetation changes after Hurricane Katrina (2005) for the Weeks Bay Reserve and surrounding area of coastal AL. Landsat 5 satellite images were acquired before landfall (March 24, 2005), after landfall (September 16, 2005), and 8 months after landfall (April 28, 2006). The March 2005 to September 2005 image comparison showed that average NDVI values decreased by 49% after landfall. Continuing into the next year, average NDVI values were −44% lower in April 2006 than they were in March 2005. Among habitat types, the estuarine emergent wetland experienced the largest average NDVI value decrease (−64%). The estuarine emergent wetland NDVI values continued to decrease by −27% from September 2005 to April 2006, whereas other habitats increased in NDVI. This continued suppression of NDVI values was attributed to increased salinity from the storm surge and to regional drought conditions that occurred after landfall. These results provide insight into the sensitivity of coastal vegetation from the interactions of both tropical cyclones and long-term environmental conditions.

Taming Data Explosion in Probabilistic Information Integration

Data integration has been a challenging problem for decades. In an ambient environment, where many autonomous devices have their own information sources and network connectivity is ad hoc and peer-to-peer, it even becomes a serious bottleneck. To enable devices to exchange information without the need for interaction with a user at data integration time and without the need for extensive semantic annotations, a probabilistic approach seems rather promising. It simply teaches the device how to cope with the uncertainty occurring during data integration. Unfortunately, without any kind of world knowledge, almost everything becomes uncertain, hence maintaining all possibilities produces huge integrated information sources. In this paper, we claim that only very simple and generic rules are enough world knowledge to drastically reduce the amount of uncertainty, hence to tame the data explosion to a manageable size.

UC students are helping the public reach for the stars
There is more than meets the eye in the night sky and two University of Canterbury (UC) physics and mathematics students are showing this to the public.
Ryan Ridden-Harper and Toby Hendy, members of the Canterbury Astronomical Society, were keen to show passion about astronomy and developed the Christchurch Urban Astronomers along Malcolm Locke from the society. Their aim is to educate and inspire the public.
"The Urban Astronomers initiative is a way to encourage people to look up at the sky and consider what it may hold," says Ridden-Harper.
"We want to show people that astronomy is not just an abstract subject but rather one with great influence to life on Earth and our perspective of the universe."
Ridden-Harper and Hendy have been running the Urban Astronomy sessions since late last year, showing the public interesting bright objects such as the moon, Saturn and Venus, and more recently, allowing them to see the sun using solar telescopes.
"We started running night time Urban Astronomy sessions in September last year, at the Pallet Pavilion. We began using the solar telescopes in January this year. We've run a few sessions across Christchurch, mainly at the Re:Start Mall," says Hendy.
The group mainly targets foot traffic so it can reach people who might otherwise never have used a telescope, or had the opportunity to develop an interest in astronomy.
"Generally, people are curious about the telescopes and approach us to see what we are doing. This gives us a wide range of people to talk to such as Christchurch residents and tourist from all over the world.
"We welcome anyone interested in becoming involved. All that is needed is a passion for science and a willingness to interact with the public," says Ridden-Harper.
Ridden-Harper and Hendy say they have received extremely positive feedback from the public.
"We have had comments that we have made a real impact on people's knowledge of the sky and have introduced them to ideas that they had not yet considered.
"Many are blown away that they are able to see such objects in an urban area. With solar viewing, people are often surprised with what the sun looks like when it is made safe to view through filters.
"One of the most rewarding things is to see children leaving with an enthusiasm to learn more about what we have shown them," says Hendy.
The sessions are weather dependant.

The H2Go! ministry at St. Michael's Lutheran Church is a way for members of St. Mike's to get to know their neighbors -and at the same time offer a free bottle of cold water. During the warm summer months H2Go! members can be seen passing bottled water around the Concordia neighborhood-often times pulling a wagon filled with bottles. Members pass out the water and engage their neighbors in pleasant conversation in hopes of letting people know who we are, getting to know who they are and telling them about JESUS.

A diabetic diet is all about balance and the choices you make. It works best when you eat a variety of foods in the right portions and at the same times each day. It does not mean that you have to give up your favorite foods.
Your food choices should come from three groups:
Eating the right foods can help keep your blood sugar in the normal range. That can give you energy to do the everyday things you enjoy. So, how can you help make sure you are getting enough of each type of food each day?
Imagine your plate divided into quarters. Use it to control your portions.
Now that you have an idea about how to fill your plate, let's look at some of your options in each group.
It is best to eat sweets and snacks rarely. You can lessen the amount of other carbohydrates you eat on the days you want to splurge. Some good choices you can make to help meet your nutritional needs include:
Small Doable Steps
Proteins are your meat, poultry and fish items. Milk products also contain protein, as do most beans and legumes. You need them for energy and to keep your body in good shape. Here is a list of some high-protein foods:
Small Doable Steps
Fats should make up the smallest portion of your daily diet. Fats are found in many processed foods so be sure to read the labels. Some fats are better than others. In fact, we need fats in our diet to keep our bodies working well.
Unhealthy fats are trans and saturated. Healthy fats are monosaturated and polyunsaturated. Healthy fats are found in:
These items also contain essential fatty acids, such as omega-3 and omega-6, which can help lower cholesterol.Even a very small amount of fat has a large amount of calories. Foods that include unhealthy fats are: butter, ice cream, coconut oil, cheese, cakes, cookies, crackers, chips, candy and some margarines.
Some people with diabetes still use exchanges, which are a simple way to plan your meals. A full day of meals might include three exchanges of whole grains, three exchanges of protein, three dairy, three vegetables and three fruits.
A dietitian can help you plan your diet and assist you with questions about certain foods and portion sizes. If you have trouble finding a dietitian, call us toll free 1-888-830-4300 (people who are deaf or hard of hearing should dial 1-800-855-2880) to speak with a BlueChoice HealthPlan Medicaid diabetes case manager.

My name is Audrey and I drive a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV).
There, I've said it. Apparently, I'm supposed to feel relieved now. I've admitted I engage in a socially unacceptable behavior. Now I've only got 11 more steps to go before I can rejoin the civilized world.
If you believe many people who write letters to the editors of local newspapers, call in to radio shows and, in some cases author rather shrill columns on the subject for daily newspapers - people like me are the scourge of the highways and byways of New Jersey and the rest of the nation.
In fact, if some of the irrational ramblings I have read and heard on the subject are any guide, people who wouldn't hurt a fly, let alone execute a convicted murderer, would gladly hang SUV drivers from bridges.
I've been driving on our wonderful Garden State roads for about 20 years now. It has been my observation in that time that there are bad drivers, inconsiderate drivers and just plain stupid drivers driving all sorts of vehicles. After all, before the mass popularity of SUVs, one presumes the idiots driving SUVs were driving something else. Maybe the bad drivers in SUVs are just easier to spot than bad drivers in some cars.
I will leave it to the insecure male columnists of advanced middle age who drive flimsy high performance sports cars in a state where it is often impossible to go the speed limit, let alone exceed it, to make sweeping statements condemning millions of people based on the type of vehicle they choose to drive.
I used to drive cars too. Then we moved to a neighborhood where our own driveway was a long, substantial hill and our street and the connecting streets were curvy, hilly roads. My husband suggested I buy a used four-wheel drive vehicle. We went out, I drove one and was extremely comfortable with it. I don't drive a super huge vehicle. I drive a four-door, six-cylinder ugly SUV because it is practical for me. It isn't any worse on gas mileage than cars I've owned and many a time I have been grateful to have four-wheel drive, but it certainly isn't a pass to drive anywhere, anytime in any conditions. Ice is ice and poor visibility is poor visibility regardless of what you are driving.
Would I rather be driving a two-door convertible? You bet I would. If I was driving a two-door convertible would I have been out in some of the intense snowstorms we have had this winter? No, I wouldn't have. It would have been unsafe and it would have presented a hazard to other motorists. That, however, didn't stop many of the people I encountered as I traveled to and from work on some of those snowy days.
On a recent Monday we had about a foot of snow fall over the course of the day. I was driving home past Gardner Field, taking my time because there was several inches of chopped up snow on the road. Coming toward me, fishtailing like mad and going much faster than I, was a man driving an older model four-door sedan. Apparently that driver's logic was that if he stopped, he would be stuck, so he just wasn't going to stop.
I had to move over to the side of the road and let this person pass me. Who was the idiot? Presumably, he was going to encounter a stop sign, a red light or a hill at some point. What was he planning on doing? Praying no one else was coming his way or counting on everyone else to yield?
Every vehicle and every driver has limitations. It's up to each of us to know ourselves and our cars.
Of course, as the cliche goes, fools rush in, heedless of such details as ability to see, warning signs on the road and poor road and weather conditions. The rest of us have to deal with them. It never ceased to amaze me back in high school that the biggest dopes in class always passed their driver's test on the first try. They couldn't read, pay attention for two consecutive minutes or outthink a potted plant, but gosh darn it, they were licensed to drive.
Tractor trailer operators who drive for a living regularly tried to drive under the railroad trestle bridges on Route 53 down the street from our Denville office before the trestles were finally raised. This despite a huge warning painted on the bridge indicating the low clearance.
At least once a month, a tractor trailer got stuck under the old rusty trestle bridge. I remember once a driver solved the problem by letting most of the air out of his tires. Police were usually stuck there for ages assisting the stuck truckers and directing traffic. Sometimes, they issued tickets to the drivers.
Everybody has been stuck behind a Nervous Nellie type driver who has decided the place to be is the fast lane, even if one is driving 30 miles an hour.
A friend of my husband's was recently in a bad accident. Why? Because the twenty something male driver of a pickup truck thought he hit something on Route 3 at 5 a.m. He stopped his truck in the fast lane just over the crest of a hill, turned off his lights and got out of his truck to look. Jim's friend was the passenger in the van that was the first vehicle behind this genius. The driver of the van came over the hill and had absolutely no chance to react when he saw the truck stopped in front of him.
Some people appoint themselves traffic cops. They stop when they have the right of way and wave vehicles out into traffic. On Route 46 in Rockaway Township at Pierson Street where Burger King is located, drivers on Route 46 west routinely stop dead in the fast lane to allow drivers headed east who want to turn into Pierson Street to do so.
The only problem is other westbound drivers coming up in the slow lane don't see the vehicle turning in front of them until it is too late. The drivers making the turn are incorrect because you aren't supposed to pull out without a clear view. They, of course, don't have a clear view because their vision is blocked by the jerk who improperly stopped dead in the fast lane to let them turn. There have been some near fatal accidents at that spot.
I have read lots of accident reports where the cause was one of these Cathy Courtesy types. After causing the accidents, the drivers who yielded incorrectly drive off. They should be ticketed. I have had some of these people get very annoyed with me when I have refused to pull out at their invitation. Silly people.
There are drivers of all ages who just physically aren't up to driving. While many are old people, there are some not so old people. They can't see at night. They can't turn their heads. They are deaf, or appear to be deaf. They have poor depth perception. They are not able to make good judgments quickly.
How else can you explain the people who are sitting at an intersection with no cars within a half a mile except yours. You are getting closer to them and closer to them and still, they haven't pulled out. Finally, when you are just about at the intersection, they pull out in front of you. When this happens to me, I look in my rear view mirror to see if the reason the person pulled out is because I had 20 cars behind me. Invariably, I see there are no cars behind me. Apparently some people can't pull out of an intersection unless they are pulling out in front of someone.
People changing lanes and turning without using their turn signals are so commonplace, it isn't worth mentioning. Occasionally, you encounter the drivers who never turns off their indicators. Mile after mile, intersection after intersection, they trundle along signalling the turn that never comes. Until you finally give up. That's when they stop dead and turn.
And what about the people who drive with their dogs in their laps? It makes you wonder if the dog is the one with the brains in the vehicle. I imagine the dog directing the driver; one bark for stop, two for go, three for look out, you're about to hit a family of five.
I also love the people who pull half-way across four lane highways and put up their hands indicating you, with the right of way and dozens of speeding cars behind you, should stop dead to let them in front of you. Since they are blocking the lane, it isn't as if you have much of a choice.
Is it any wonder some people decide they'd better get a bigger vehicle to have a chance at survival on the road?

I setup a test user and user group to test prefixes and do not see a way to make them act any different other then color tags. Didnt seem to change anything.
The help menu at XF does not cover the above options or even mentions them, so I have no idea how to manipulate them. If some one could give a break down it would be appreciated.

WiFi extenders?
Does anyone have any recommendations for WiFi extenders? Maplin and others advertise these but I am concerned about pumping data along mains cables and the resulting QRN likely to be produced, especially in the lower HF spectrum. Does anyone know of one that is electrical quiet, if that is even possible?
In distance terms, the shack is about 20m from where the router is likely to be located, but the microwave signal will have to get through 3 doors (one is metal) and 3 walls. In the current home the router is upstairs and is a decent signal in the lounge downstairs, but through one more door the signal is non-existent. Incidentally I use a recent Netgear super hub supplied by Virgin Media.

You can use most WiFi Routers, surely the TPLink ones to act as an extender by configuring it that way. I do use mines with OpenWrt instead of the native firmware, but I do believe it can be made with the native firmware as well. The only drawback is that for all nodes connected to the "far" router the bandwidth will be halved, which typically isn't even noticeable in day to day usage. 73 de Pedro LU7HZ.

Almost any router these days has an "extender" mode. Since range is the issue, for obvious reasons try to get a box with one or more external antennas.

Hi Roger, I use a Netgear N600 and have several older DG834s acting as relays under WDS protected by WEP and MAC address lists. (people moan about WEP but its secure enough for my uses, I don't think GCHQ would have any desire to hack me and if they did, then I think WPA2 would fold easily!). DG834s can be picked up cheaply off E**y and get a v3, 4 or 5 which on some firmwares will run WDS. G7NKS

4.You will pay taxes
- unless you have your stocks in a qualified retirement account you will pay taxes on gains as you sell and on dividends along the way.
- so you have to beat inflation and cost of taxes.
5. Stocks can be volatile
- volatility is when your investments rise and fall in a short amount of time.
- stocks are more volatile than bonds
- when stocks fail the investors lose everything.
- owning more than one stock will reduce the risk of bankruptcy

Camel's milk beauty craze
Every week there's a new beauty trend promised to give amazing results, and one of the latest is camel's milk. Yep, you read it right - the hump-backed mammals are behind one of the industry's most sought after products, which has countless benefits.
Here to take us through them is Korean beauty blogger Vicky Lee, founder of www.sorabelle.com, who begins by telling us where this craze began.
"Legend has it that the first woman to realise the beneficial properties of camel's milk was Cleopatra, who used to bathe in the stuff daily to achieve soft and supple skin," Vicky told Cover Media of the Egyptian queen.
What is it about camel's milk that gives us smooth, silky skin? Vicky explains thanks to it being a rich source of lactic acid, part of the exfoliating alpha hydroxy acid (AHAs) family, it fills wrinkles and can help freshen up any discolouration or dark spots.
Furthermore, there are more useful natural proteins in the drink which aids anti-ageing, as the expert notes: "It's high in collagen, elastin and vitamins B and C. Collagen and elastin are two proteins that are essential to maintain the skin's firmness and elasticity, while vitamin C is an antioxidant that can fight free radicals and boost the production of collagen."
The level of vitamins and minerals found in camel's milk soar above that in cow's milk, though it isn't as easy to find. Specialist food shops may have it available, or health food stores.
And it's even being used in beauty products in Korea, so it may be worth keeping an eye out for this ingredient making it big worldwide in the near future.
"The most popular of these has to be the Tony Moly Camel Milk Cream Premium RX, a nourishing wrinkle-filling cream that improves the firmness and elasticity of skin," Vicky shared of her experience with the skincare market in Korea." The camel's milk it contains also helps even the skin tone, while the vegetable butter creates a shield on the skin that locks moisture in, resulting in a smoother and softer complexion."

Mumbai :To celebrate 15 years of Lakme Fashion Week this year, its organisers have planned interesting things like presenting a line up of 100 designers, including those by 21 debutantes.
The organisers said they want to make the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015 memorable. The fashion week is scheduled to be held between August 26 to 30 here.
"We are excited about this season as we celebrate 15 years. There will be a mix of established as well as new designers. We want to redefine fashion with ace designers and encourage new talent as well," Purnima Lamba, Head Innovations Lakme, told reporters here.
There will be 100 designers this season including 21 debut designers, Lamba said adding 11 new models will walk on the ramp at this year's gala.
Ace designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla will open Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015 and designer Gaurav Gupta will present the Grand Finale collection at an off-site location.
Established designers like Manish Malhotra, Ritu Kumar, Tarun Tahiliani, Neeta Lulla, Narendra Kumar and others will showcase their "best-ever" collection.
The "Reinvent Banaras" campaign will be launched to revive and celebrate the Banaras handlooms.
"We are looking to uplift Banaras handlooms with India's leading designers. We put focus on Banras handlooms through exhibitions, fashion films. We are lending our support by providing platform to designers to showcase their collection with the help from Banaras weavers," Saket Dhankar, Vice President and Head Fashion at IMG Reliance said.

Junior writer Benjy Stone sets to work on his new comedy show and prepares to welcome actor Alan Swann as that week's guest star. But when King Kaiser, the show's headliner wants to get rid of Swann, Benjy tries to save his hero and is made chief babysitter.
Light comedian-turned-director Richard Benjamin (Goodbye Columbus, Catch-22) created his most enjoyable film via tales of the backstage antics on Sid Caesar's top-rated 50s TV series. Here Joe Bologna is demented megalomaniac King Kaiser, whose live show is doomed to mayhem when drunken has-been swashbuckling movie star Alan Swann (Peter O'Toole) reels on the week's guest slot.
O'Toole, who was nominated for the Best Actor Ocscar in 1983 for his role here, is a riot as the uncontrollable, permanently carousing rake with innocent production assistant/minder Mark Linn-Baker trailing with helpless admiration in his wake.
A sentimental touch too far for some, but there are splendid comic performances by one and all, and some killer gags

The moons Importance
Destiny Wells
2nd hour
The moons role
The moon has many different things going on with it. The changing relative positions of the moon, Earth, and the phases of the moon. The different shapes of the moon you see from Earth are called phases. When an object in space comes between the sun and the third object, it casts a shadow on the object, causing an eclipse t take place. Tides are the rise and fall of ocean water that occurs every 12.5 hours or so. Tides are caused mainly by differences in how much gravity from the moon and the sun pulls on different parts of Earth.
There is eight different moon phases. In order they are new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, waning crescent. We have the phases of the moon because the sun is behind our part of the Earth and the Earth casts a shadow on the moon. That's why we see part of the moon sometimes.
Their combined forces produce a tide with the greatest difference between consecutive low and high tides, called a spring tide. The Sun's pull is at right angles to the moons pull. This arrangement produces a neap tide, a tide with the least difference between consecutive low and high. Tides occur because of the moons gravitational pull. They effect Earth because one minute it could be flowing one way but the next it could flow the other way.
There are two types of eclipses: solar and lunar. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly Earth and the sun, blocking sunlight from the Earth. A lunar eclipse occurs at a full moon when Earth is directly between the moon and the sun. We have phases because the moon passes between the third object causing it to cast a shadow. They don't really effect us on Earth except they are really nice to see.
In conclusion, the moon is important because it moves the tides and it affects the climate. Our lives would be different on Earth. We wouldn't have the same tides all the time.

- "It's a hit!"
- ―Naytaan during the Battle of Yavin
Nozzo Naytaan was a human male Rebel pilot who served in the Galactic Civil War. A member of Red Squadron, he flew in the Battle of Scarif with the callsign of Red Nine. Both from Corellia, Naytaan and Lieutenant Attico Wred, a fellow Rebel pilot who flew with Green Squadron as Green Four, had a friendly rivalry.[1][3] Just days after the Battle of Scarif, Naytaan would die during the Battle of Yavin.[4]
Behind the Scenes.Edit
Naytaan's voice is heard in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. His two lines of dialogue, "Red Nine standing by" and "It's a hit!" were both spoken over the comm systems of his X-wing starfighter, although his second line wasn't associated with his character until 2008. He was identified as Red Nine at the Battle of Scarif by Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide. Pablo Hidaldo later re-canonized Nozzo's participation in the Battle of Yavin via Twitter shortly after the release of the film.
In legends, Naytaan was stated to be born on Regellia. But according to Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide he was born on Corellia.

From twelve men to five thousand members—and more people joining the group every single day. How did the early church grow so quickly? Today on Truth For Life, Alistair Begg examines that first century community and their passion for "Continuous Evangelism." Listen to Truth For Life with Alistair Begg! More
- Topics:
- Evangelism
Seven Marks Of An Effective ChurchWhat makes a church effective? Is it having a functional building, excellent worship music, a vibrant youth program or a teaching ministry? Our answers may vary, but the burgeoning church in the book of Acts clearly provides us with seven elements to which every church should strive. These marks include: The Apostle's Teaching, Fellowship, The Sacraments, Prayer, Mutual Care, Worship, and Continuous Evangelism. No church will ever master all of these elements, but they should be the marks to which church leaders are guiding their people. Is your church on the right course? If you're searching for a church in which to be involved, then these are the elements the early church displayed and should be the marks for which we look in an effective church.
