New Delhi, Aug 12 (IANS) A tantrik has been arrested here for allegedly raping a 23-year-old woman after threatening to kill her brothers by using "black magic", Delhi Police said on Wednesday.
Abdulla Musharraf has been arrested on Tuesday from his hideouts in Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh following the victim lodged a complaint at Shakarpur police station in east Delhi.
Police said the victim made a complaint on July 24 accusing her neighbour Akshay Rajouriya and the Ghaziabad-based Tantrik for raping her several times.
"Rajouriya took the victim to Ghaziabad one year ago where he along with the Tantric raped her," Deputy Commissioner of Police Ajay Kumar said.
Kumar said the Tantrik had also made a clip of the act after threatening the victim to kill her brothers by using "black magic".
The officer said the victim was again taken by her neighbour to the residence of the Tantrik and "they confined her in a room for 19 days where she was drugged and raped by both of them several times".
The victim had also informed police that she was raped by two other people in Ghaziabad, who had paid money to the Tantrik.

Ellern Signs Deal to Buy Salt, Dor and Dankner Investments
Ellern Investments, which is controlled by Shmuel and Avraham Dankner, yesterday signed a $203 million deal to buy the controlling interest in the three companies comprising the Dankner Group.
Ellern Investments, which is controlled by Shmuel and Avraham Dankner, yesterday signed a $203 million deal to buy the controlling interest in the three companies comprising the Dankner Group: Salt Industries, Dor Chemicals and Dankner Investments. The transaction is to be completed within three months.
The deal leaves Nochi Dankner with 4.9 percent in Salt Industries (together with his father, Yitzhak, he owned 17.66 percent) and David Dankner with roughly 5 percent in each of the three companies.
Once Nochi Dankner no longer owns a substantial holding in Salt Industries, he will be able, through Ganden, to proceed with the acquisition of IDB Holdings. Since Salt Industries controls 11.63 percent in Bank Hapoalim, and since IDB took a $900 million loan from the bank, Nochi Dankner was until now prohibited from buying the company. If the deal with Shmuel and Avraham Dankner comes through, Hapoalim will also not be barred from financing the IDB deal alongside Leumi bank.
The deal reflects a valuation of $190 million for Salt Industries, $90 million for Dankner Investments and $65 million for Dor Chemicals. The deal still depends on a $100 million financing package, which will probably be provided by Leumi bank and maybe another bank, and on regulatory approvals. Since no new shareholders are being added, the regulator is not expected to mount any difficulties.
Meanwhile, Salt Industries announced yesterday that, according to a valuation prepared by Prof. Amir Barnea, the value of its holding in Bank Hapoalim is NIS 1.865 billion excluding the control premium (the added value that a controling interest has over smaller holdings). The market cap of the company's holding in the bank is only NIS 1.1 billion, while the value in the company's balance sheet is NIS 1.726 billion.

Interview: A Certain Trajectory: A Conversation with Holly Bynoe for AICA Southern CaribbeanWednesday, October 9th, 2013 Categories: ARC Partners, Features, Updates
For the last two and a half years Holly Bynoe and Nadia Huggins, artists from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, have published ARC Magazine, a not for profit print and online publication and social platform dedicated to Caribbean contemporary art. In February 2012, they were invited by the Ministry of Culture and Communication (DAC) Martinique in partnership with the Alliance Francaise of St. Lucia for a week-long studio tour, and were able to extend support to artists from Martinique such as Charlotte Robert, Jean-Baptiste Barret, Audry Liseron-Monfils, and Elizabeth Colomba among others.
Their second trip to Fort de France in October 2012 was for the symposium 'Revues en Vue' which brought together publishers and editors of several Caribbean journals including Annie Paul for Small Axe, David Mateo for Artcronica, Isabel Perez for Arte Cuba, and Dave Williams for Draconian Switch at the Department of Archives. This conference aided Bynoe and Huggins to strengthen their knowledge of the arts community of Martinique, and more broadly their context in the space of the creative Caribbean.
Due to the upsurge of contemporary art production and openness that ARC has created across the region, it has directly led to Bynoe's appointment as curator of the local pavilion in the upcoming inaugural BIAC Martinique.
This interview strives to provide answers to every question you might have about ARC Magazine, the objectives that led to its creation, the impact it has had in the region and beyond the borders of the Caribbean, along with the workforce and financial support needed to sustain it and finally, the director's prospects for the future.
Dominique Brebion for AICA- SC: What were your main objectives for creating Arc Magazine? After publishing seven issues, do you consider to have achieved these objectives?
Holly Bynoe: The main objective of creating ARC as a platform was to build awareness. We wanted to do that by facilitating exchanges, and opportunities to expand creative culture, especially within the visual arts industry across the wider Caribbean and its diasporas. As part of that overall mission, we hope to raise the profile for contemporary visual arts, increase local, regional and global visibility for Caribbean art, and expand opportunities for audiences – unfamiliar and existing – to experience Caribbean contemporary art.
After seven issues we are nearer to executing that vision, but you know what they say, the more you do the more there is to be done. Upon inception, both the print and online platforms were focused on specific objectives such as sensitizing the public to the brand and developing collaborations with writers, informal institutions and artists. We have expanded our mission and mandate based on the needs that we have identified across our creative networks, and I think we are now considering criticality in more challenging and motivating ways.
We still have a lot of growing to do, but we have determined that we need to continue to support and foster interaction, exchange and education by linking the development of emerging artists, writers, critics and cultural practitioners with local, regional and international peers. Our recent shift towards programming is especially significant, as it is a more tangible way of giving support to synergistic networks, which provide opportunities to share resources and ideas, and in turn builds solidarity and awareness.
DM: How regularly do you publish? Since creating this publication have you managed to keep up with this periodicity?
HB: In 2011 we published four issues quarterly in January, April, June and September, not fully understanding the nature of independent publishing in the Caribbean and its difficulties. We soon realized that moving forward at that speed would be detrimental in very intrinsic ways.
Firstly, we would need a much larger editorial and administrative team to keep up with that schedule, and we weren't in a financial position to do that. And secondly, and most importantly, we wouldn't have been able to develop programming – the development of launches, film screenings, exhibitions, artists' talks – that has led to our success and expansion. Engaging actively in a social way in various countries has led to practitioners understanding what we do in more immediate ways. This speeds up the process of trust and engagement, which is crucial for the growth of dialogue, community and, I hope in the end, upward mobility for the visual art industries.
To this end, I feel it was the right thing to do. Thus, in 2012, the directors of ARC- Nadia Huggins and I- decided to increase the content by 40% and release the issues biannually, every May/June and September/October. We have managed to keep this as a constant periodical, but I am hoping that as we develop our capacity and our resources we can think about a more substantial publication, with special projects and unique content produced specifically for each issue. We also hope for a publication that will broach linguistic barriers, making it easier for us to not only do work across the Caribbean but also engage with parts of the continental Caribbean that we have yet to explore.
DB: How many visitors log in to your site every month? How many online readers do you have? And from what specific areas do these readers come?
HB: Based on the data we have collected, we have roughly 20,000 visitors each month to our website. With that, we have amassed a database of over 4,000 people and we reach out to them on a monthly basis. This outreach and marketing has been quite structured since the beginning of 2013, as our programming and partnerships have increased. On a daily basis we circulate content to roughly 16,000+ people through our social feeds including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Vimeo etc. We are hoping to increase our visibility and viability on these platforms and make the website more dynamic in the coming months.
Nadia has been working tirelessly on a redesign which takes into consideration and envisions the growth of online platforms and where we need to be in terms of interface, usability, security – ensuring safety for sales – and mapping how people interact with video, live content and streaming media. We are also reconfiguring the template of ARC's online presence for it to be more inclusive and welcoming. This truly has been one of our biggest challenges, overseeing how we need to present information and what sort of hierarchical constraints we will determine for the platform along with design functionality.
Our viewers are mainly from the USA, Trinidad & Tobago, the United Kingdom, Jamaica, Canada, Barbados, The Bahamas, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, France, the Netherlands, Aruba, Germany, Suriname, Spain, Australia, Curacao, Martinique, Grenada, St. Lucia and the USVI.
DB: What is more important to you, the website or the magazine? Can you explain the specificities of each and are they complementary?
HB: Both are very important to the longevity and survival of ARC. One doesn't serve a higher purpose, as they both have very specific and separate aspirations.
The aesthetic container that we have carefully created with the print gives the works a visual structure, which sets a tone for the type of work we want to support – its aura, visual cohesion, balance etc. That visual structure involves the consideration of the form and content and how they relate to each other – whether supportive or challenging. Through this, we have shaped the interplay and complementary nature of colours, typography and images – and the visual language we use to communicate with our audiences.
We have ensured that once you come into contact with the publication, the quality stands apart and acts as something truly revolutionary, whatever your exposure to existing art publications across the region. The development of a critical edge to the print is intrinsic to the container, which acts as an archive of ideas and projects, initiating stimulating dialogues, and engaging with artists' portfolios in immediate ways via its form. There is a connection with, and to, the printed object that parallels initiation into a vast array of information and networks, which we hope will be the outcome of reading the magazine. The reader has to remove him/herself from the wider world and engage with the life and microcosm of this object.
This is a very primal interaction, where you learn to engage on various levels; the design, typography, weight of paper, the smell of the ink and its certain toxicity and the object's dimensions in your hands. Once the viewer is allowed to stream through its pages, all at once, there is the realization that its values and counter balances have been carefully crafted, allowing for a fluid and dynamic reading where you can move through content that isn't based within constraints of place and time; this is a space that is constructed by the viewer. There is a certain freedom to the departments, where there is no jarring change in interface from one section to the other. This contributes to a slower and more contemplative period of engagement with the work, building practices of reading and viewing, and modes of interaction.
Our editorial philosophies and practice take the dynamic of a collective enterprise into consideration; a place for experimentation, interrogation, cultivating and nurturing the spirit of criticality and action. We want to remain focused on the lack of visual and editorial hierarchies, as we hold the belief that the service and information provided to artists should inform them in a way that changes their vision of who they are in their creative communities, granting agency in their relation to the world around them, creating a domino effect.
ARC online was propelled by social media through its incubation period to become a sort of cult and underground phenomenon, where informal social groups, artistic collectives and those interested in general humanities attach themselves to our information feed as a way to determine what is going on in art in the Caribbean. Being a practicing artist in the region means that you have to keep up with the pace of the world, or there is the potential and possibility of your practice being timed out of opportunity and placement. There is also something important happening with the way artists use online presences as a tool for recognition, recording and representing themselves.
Internet based publications, serve a vital role in guiding artists of all media to instantly engage with a wide range of information. We set out to create something beautiful, functional and minimal. Even though it is a critical space, a lot of the information that is filtered through our daily content is centred on promoting opportunities that broaden the scope of the visual industry's development. This proactive research and gathering of information ensures that artists have access to calls for submission, residency opportunities that may be important to their development, regional and international conferences, granting and funding information, all of which can aid them in developing themselves and opening up their spaces.
In the context of the Caribbean, exchanges between different locations, professionals and realities help artists develop a sense of regional dynamics and histories, and can help overcome a sense of creative and intellectual isolation. We have also begun developing original content exclusively for ARC, and we hope to increase this from twice weekly, as it is now, to daily over the next year or two.
DB: What financial support do you have?
HB: Currently we are able to support the printing of the publication by subsidizing costs with advertising funds that cover up to 15-20% of production. Both Nadia and I work on various projects on a monthly basis and special projects to make ARC possible. We have submitted collaborative grants with various institutions across the Americas and we are hoping to engage in more grant writing over the course of the coming months (years), in order to make production more feasible.
Additionally, we have just acquired an agency that will be controlling outreach to institutions, museums, galleries, informal artist-led initiatives, libraries, universities, artists and foundations in order to build and maintain the working relationships that we have with our existing and envisioned partners. It is our hope to have enough advertising and collaborative revenue to be able to increase our volume over the next five years and acquire distribution on a more formal and sustainable level.
DB: What strategies have you developed to distribute ARC?
HB: It is difficult to consider strategies for distribution when you exist and operate within the Caribbean. Firstly we have to cover the high cost of shipping to distributors and we run the risk of losing packages and having the postal service at times destroy/damage/delay reception of the product. Coupled with custom and import duties, it is often impossible to trade productively. To combat this we ship from the US with freight forwarders to most of our distributors and if we travel to any island we carry on our physical being copies for local distribution.
In many ways, the inadequate and/or inefficient structural support for business in the Caribbean keeps us behind. We continue to struggle to find innovative ways to be profitable and develop our ideas. I am not sure whom we would start conversations with to allow, for example, the swifter and cheaper distribution of products, but we cannot expand the areas which we serve in the Caribbean until foundational things are considered by each island's government or regional statuaries. Till then we continue to cut corners to see what our best options are.
DB: What is the main role of the Caribbean diasporas for the visual arts?
HB: One of the conversations that I keep having in small pockets is about the role of the Caribbean diasporas in our development, and more so, the role of international cultural institutions that include the Caribbean in their mandate. I often wonder why there isn't more collaboration and proactive outreach regarding the development of projects. I also speak from a very Anglophone, and in particular a Small Island Developing State experience, where we – artists and cultural practitioners – are often omitted from opportunities and ongoing collaborations. It seems that the bulk of the work I do deals with sensitizing people to the mandate of ARC and the ways in which we want to see the cultural economy of the Caribbean evolve. This involves confirming and solidifying working relationships with the diasporas. In developed countries, cultural products and services have ways of being valued, quantified studied and sold. This developed economic model includes branded artists, collectors, numerous B.F.A and M.F.A programs, dealers, curators, galleries, critics, auction houses, publications, art prizes, educators, biennials and the markets needed to circulate these economies.
This standardized modus operandi provides ways to ascribe value to these types of works. Since this is not fully established in the Caribbean, we do not have similar systems of evaluating works. This makes it extremely difficult to participate competitively in the global art marketplace and within significant events held in the diaspora. Caribbean artists are often left to produce, promote and market their own works with little to no support; this is impractical and hinders growth of the sector.
The larger problem attached to that is the fact that visual arts has a legacy of being underdeveloped, under supported and undervalued. There isn't an economy of understanding or a critical mass attached to contemporary arts development, and often times the necessity for its genesis and evolution hasn't been supported in a practical way by local governments. Larger than that, most countries lack the infrastructure of higher education facilities, national galleries and museums, which provide a space to understand creations, artefacts and histories. This foundational lack creates a mammoth gap. Until we identify a strategic way to have these things be important parts of our cultural fibre, there is no way to consider its wider development, implication or expansion.
We cannot speak about the development of a visual arts industry in the Caribbean without a significant buy in from artists, institutions and foundations throughout the diasporas. At the end of the day it boils down to what you can access to become autonomous – funding, material, expertise etc. There is a need now more than ever to involve them in the conversations and make cultural institutions, academics, curators, cultural centres and foundations understand that even though the Caribbean has shifted in terms of socioeconomics there is a burgeoning creative enterprise present. We need to have qualified experts working within the cultural sectors in their countries in order for us to work more efficiently to develop cultural legislation, formal and informal spaces, scholarship and activities that lead to a more engaged public.
It is not practical for there to be large exhibitions and biennales in places like New York City, Miami, London and Venice without institutions and artists having at least 4 partners across the Caribbean who would also affect and benefit from the programming by housing satellite programs, screenings, workshops etc. It is counterproductive if we fail to reach out to say 'Yes, we want to be a part of this greater conversation and economy', or if the idea that we are on 'Island time' continues to be affirmed. We have been working hard to challenge this impression and people are beginning to take notice.
We however have a lot to battle with, as we come from a history of hoarding and of fighting to retain power and information, keeping critical data and connections locked away from the public or, from my experience, people who can benefit from it the most. This is why we have never been able to achieve a sense of an integrated Caribbean. It is this type of selfishness and fear that 'could do us in'.
This type of thinking was generated by and maintained by an antiquated system, which aims to ensure that the status quo is never questioned, interrupted or usurped. A system based on gatekeepers, who are so afraid to lose their power, they'd rather watch the city (region) stagnate and crumble.
This is no longer an operational model; to work within this construct means you become obsolete.
DB: What are the main obstacles to the development of your project?
HB: Well, there are always financial obstacles that prevent us from increasing our working capacity – whether it be hiring someone who we think would be critical to our editorial board, paying writers, affording the print or doing small things, like ensuring that we have developed a certain component of our website.
Larger projects have been put on hold, for example we are seeking funding for the editing of over 30 artists videos that we produced through 2012/3. Attending more art fairs and being able to engage throughout more islands on a regular basis is another capacity that we could consider, but it is dependent on acquiring partnerships and trying to understand the synergies.
Being able to secure more funds would change ARC immediately, we would be able to implement a series of changes that would enhance and fortify our core, our online and print platforms, our programming and outreach.
There are developmental concerns that I also need to address that accompany the growth of our creative communities, particularly how we can deploy mentorship to strengthen these networks. As an editor, artist and creative thinker, it is often hard for me to come to grips with how isolating my experience can be and, greater than that, how much energy I expend to be present for artists, partners, collaborators, writers etc. It is a lot of communication to consider and I am even wary going into this spiel. It would be great for me to have the core team more present, as that can give me the opportunity to interact with the projections and future for ARC, and help me to start mapping out a certain trajectory.
One of the other obstacles is the access to experts in the field of web development. This is something that both Nadia and I have battled with over the last three years, and we are looking for someone who can come on with us on a project basis to execute our vision and help drag some of the more ephemeral things into tangibility, especially given the amount of material we consume online and our knowledge of progressive platforms.
DB: Technically speaking how do you create this review: printing and graphics? Do you work with a permanent group of salaried workers?
HB: We work with 5 paid employees on a full time basis. Nadia and I have volunteered our time to ARC since its inception and that hasn't changed, meaning we still subsidize its production and visibility. Nadia produces all of the design and graphic work connected to the brand and development of ARC as an entity, along with all of our supporting events, programming etc. Our core editorial and administrative board is compensated on a monthly basis to develop features and to conduct editing, outreach, research, web content management, marketing and sales. As an operational NGO we employ most of our staff on a 10-hour a week basis. Ideally I would like to have 5 full time personnel clocking in 40 hours a week. We cannot do this until our revenue structure changes and that can only happen with a capital investment.
ARC's fixed and permanent employees include; Dr. Leanne Haynes (editorial Manager), Katherine Kennedy (my assistant), Pam Ratti (Editor), Nicole Smythe -Johnson (Senior Arts Editor and writer), Blake Daniels (Junior Arts Writer) and our new Media Sales Specialist which we will announce later this month. They are the true reason why this publication is still afloat. Without the ability to bring them on and keep them close to ARC's growth I don't know what it would be and I don't know if we could have lasted so long. Along with them, our greater editorial and administrative board comprise Vanessa Simmons-Rommens (editor and copywriter), Tracy Assing (Editor and Advisor), Natasha Drax (Editorial advisor). Once we have gotten to a point where we are happy about the design, then we send it through to a list of critical thinkers, eyeballs and artists including; Ville Kansanen, Justin Maller and Janyne Golia.
I try to also keep ahead of the game and give credence to those who have come before us and as such I have a close working relationship and sisterhood with Annalee Davis from the Fresh Milk Art Platform Inc, and I consider stalwarts like Christopher Cozier close to the development of our mission and mandate. My family has been instrumental in supporting my lifestyle and passion, without them ARC would not exist.
Of course we cannot forget the numerous volunteer contributors who work tirelessly to produce critical pieces for each issue and online on a regular basis. The fact that we have been able to retain some sort of continuity and hope for regular production means our contributors have developed a certain level of trust and know that we are trying to retain control of our engagement, niche and focus.
It is true that subsidizing ARC and employing the core personnel has taken a toll on Nadia and I emotionally, physically, and mentally. It has offered me some challenging dark days and some days filled with great hope and luminosity. I know however that the people we have chosen to occupy and lay claim to the centre of ARC's development are worthy of that gesture and more. The sacrifice, importance and presence of ARC greatly outweigh the emptiness that would be left in its wake.
We are still working with our amazing print house, Oddi in Iceland; we love the attention and the very meticulous working relationship that we have created with them. It is beneficial in that we get the project overseen by their experts who have been on the art publishing industry for over 70 years, and in return we get to have this printed publication that is one of a kind and unique to the Caribbean, and perhaps even globally, if you consider failures of representation and the various issues that come up when you start to address underrepresented art forms, demographics and peoples.
DB: How do you see the future of ARC?
HB: I would like to the see the publication continue to expand and grow its editorial focus along with its social engagement, building new collaborative projects and partnerships. Ideally we would want to have a substantial increase in yearly programming where we are invested in developing and overseeing various residency programs, continuing and expanding upon our investment in film and video art by creating more platforms to support New Media projects, not only with the trinidad+tobago film festival, but with other regional and international bodies, as well as ensuring that we can work with spaces that haven't had a chance to know ARC as yet.
We have identified certain areas that are a bit of a blind spot for us – the Hispanic and Continental Caribbean along with the northern Antilles, and strong diasporic communities that exist in the US and Canada, the United Kingdom, Paris, the Netherlands and West Arica. Given the scope of what we have been able to produce thus far, we are excited about furthering these dialogues and opportunities to work and build towards that greater creative economy.
One of my true hopes is that we will be able to convince our local and regional ministries that the visual art industry can now be a source of incredible growth in our countries. And now more than ever it is important that artists receive opportunities to travel, collaborate and seek out new means of educating themselves. The alternative to this is one where they continue to be unrecognized and their visions become distorted by the system and its failures. Ideally I would like to see ARC become one of the founding members, working to implement a regional Foundation/Centre for Visual Arts and its supportive market across the Caribbean; a space to nurture healthy creative output while engaging in local development of infrastructure and legislation.
And mostly and above all, I would like to see ARC become sustainable in order to fully execute its objectives in a holistic manner, by developing the required supportive framework to determine what mechanisms are needed to expand the growth of our region.

If you search detoxing on the Internet, the topic can become very, very confusing rather quickly. But detoxifying doesn?t have to be difficult. By following the right steps, you will discover that detoxification is something that you will enjoy doing because you?ll feel better and have more energy.
The first step is to eliminate or at the very least dramatically reduce your consumption of processed food and fast food. These foods are literally putting people in their graves years, or even decades, sooner than necessary.
Unfortunately, processed food and fast food is only part of the problem. Every single day our bodies are under assault; this is not an overstatement. Even if you opt for organic food, our environment has been substantially contaminated by the use of pesticides and DNA damaging chemicals that have been dumped and leaked into our environment. In the process, water and air contamination is reaching new levels.
There are over 80,000 chemicals being used and making their way into our environment. The vast majority of these chemicals have not been properly vetted for their effect on human health. Our bodies could use a little help.
Key Antioxidant-Alpha-Lipoic Acid
Some antioxidants are essential when it comes to detoxification. At the top of the list is alpha-lipoic acid. What makes alpha-lipoic acid such a superstar? ALA is an antioxidant that has the ability to protect the body?s cells.
Studies have shown that ALA can protect the body in a range of different ways and may even help with mercury detoxification. Any detoxifier that can help with removing mercury from the body is a welcomed friend!
B Vitamins, Milk Thistle and Detoxification
B vitamins can boost your energy, but they also play a role in detoxification. B vitamins are often sited as a way to help protect the liver and kidneys. Another great detoxifier for protecting the liver and kidneys is the plant milk thistle. Milk thistle has been shown to be a very powerful detoxifier, as it can help remove heavy metals from the body.
Cysteine is an amino acid that is essential for infants, but also is excellent for detoxification. Some dietary sources of cysteine include eggs, red peppers, garlic, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and oats.
Cysteine serves as a precursor to the so-called ?master antioxidant? glutathione and thus aids in its production. In terms of detoxification, cysteine has been used to treat the toxic effects of alcohol and cigarettes. The powerful antioxidant N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine is derived from cysteine. When it comes to antioxidants, cysteine ranks amongst the best.
Of course, there are many other ways to help your body detoxify. Drinking plenty of purified water, opting for gold fillings when having dental work, eating organic food and exercising regularly will all help you lower the amount of toxic compounds in your body.

Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman
Roberts' star power increased exponentially after the release of this 1990 romantic comedy about a hooker with a heart of gold who gets paid to spend a week with a rich businessman (Richard Gere). As part of the deal — and to fit in with his hoity-toity friends at galas and derby events — she trades in her risque streetwalking clothes and blonde wig for elegant designer dresses and chic up-dos. (The shopping montage in this film is a classic!)Back to top

As the title suggests, the overall feeling of this CD is light, airy and dreamlike. All of the compositions are originals by Marnix Busstra. He is a lyrical writer,writing music that is easy on the ears. Although the first track starts off reminiscent of something by The Doors, it settles into a lighter mood. "Pearl diver" begins with the melody played by Gevorg Vardanian on the duduk, an Armenian wind instrument with a sound quality resembling the clarinet. This track has a very gentle feel with a lyrical piano solo by Berthil Busstra. "Frog country" features some fastdriving drumwork by Chris Strik with the melody by the keyboards. "Grand-ma and the wolf" is a fun track which starts off quietly with Chris Strik on drums with a tango beat and builds with Marnix Bustra's guitar solo. The track entitled "Buzz Battle" sounds more like a game of tag than a battle....with the brothers taking turns on solos.
This offering is a very cohesive one. There are a lot of interesting solos and good work by Rene Dissel on bass and Chris Strik on drums. Obviously, the group had a lot of fun recording this because there is a lot of "feel good" music on these tracks.

Public-Key Cryptosystems with Secret Encryptor and Digital Signature
In this paper, the authors describe and compares a variety of algorithms for secure transmission of information via open communication channels based on the discrete logarithm problem that do not require search for a generator (primitive element). Modifications that simplify the cryptosystem are proposed, and, as a result, accelerate its performance. It is shown that hiding information via exponentiation is more efficient than other seemingly simpler protocols. Some of these protocols also provide digital signature/sender identification. Numeric illustrations are provided.

|Vacant Facility
|Location Information
|Behind the scenes
|First appearance
The Vacant Facility is a small, disused, and overgrown base in the far south of the Blue Lagoon region on Pandora. There is an abandoned shack there with the top of it being overgrown with foliage, as well as, at some point in the past, the shack had its door ripped off by something, possibly a Thanator. Located on the left side of the shack is a fully functional GMI unit and close by there is a still functioning A-Pod. There is only one path out, which leads to the Avatar Station. On this path there are a few scorpion thistles. When facing the front of the shack, there is a chalice plant located on the far right side of the area. Also, when entering the base, there is another path on the right that leads to a dead end.
James Cameron's Avatar: The GameEdit
Able Ryder was sent to this area by Dr. René Harper to collect some plant samples. Upon entering the area, Ryder discovered that it had become overrun with viperwolves since its abandonment, with Ryder having to kill the Viperwolves to be able to collect the plant samples in peace. Beyond the cliff wall at the south end is Hellfire Glade, an unfinished area off the edge of the map. When assigned to this mission, the player is an Avatar. If the player comes into this area as a human, it is rather hazardous to traverse. The Scorpion Thistles will attack the player when they pass by, along with the Viperwolves, and if the player walks to the far right they will be attacked by the chalice plant.

Relay for life back for another year
Rosemount''s annual Relay for Life gets under way at 6 p.m. Friday and continues through 6 a.m. Saturday at Irish Stadium.
There are many aspects wrapped into this single event. There will be ceremonies throughout the evening, which are open to the public. Stacy Lufkin, the chair of Rosemount's Relay for Life, emphasizes that anyone is welcome to attend and be a spectator at the event. Supporting members of the community is a free aspect to this 12-hour event.
Speakers for this year's Relay include members of the community who have been touched by cancer in some way. Ryan Condon, whose father passed away from cancer in 2008, will speak, as will Lori Hannasch, a member of the community whose husband passed away from cancer earlier this year.
In addition to listening to the speakers and attending the ceremonies, there will be many other activities for participants to get involved in and tables to visit throughout the night. There will be food provided by local businesses, such as Las Tortillas, as well as the Rosemount Knights of Columbus. There will also be a silent auction, chair massages and games. Lufkin hopes adding in a carnival will provide entertainment for the younger participants.
"The whole carnival is a new piece, and it's teams running carnival games like ring toss and face painting," Lufkin said.
Lufkin also hopes that many survivors come out for Relay for Life. Those interested can decide to come the night of the event, without registering beforehand.
"Come and join us. We would love to honor you. We would love to have you there," Lufkin said.
The Survivor Lap is at 6 p.m., and immediately following is a reception in the survivor tent on the track. A luminaria ceremony will begin at 9:30 p.m.
In preparation for Relay for Life, teams have been signing up and doing fundraising. According to Lufkin, as of Tuesday 28 teams were registered, which includes almost 200 participants. They are also almost halfway to their fundraising goal.
"We are sitting in a good spot," Lufkin said.
The Relay team is looking for volunteers to help them set up for this event from noon to 3 p.m. on Friday as well as for volunteers to help take down everything on Saturday from 5:30 to 7 a.m. Registration for Rosemount Relay for Life is available online at www.relayforlife.org or by calling Stacy Lufkin at 651-260-6369.

Ontario police recruitment: B-PAD testing
In order to become a member for the Ontario police force, as elsewhere across the world, one must first pass a series of evaluations, one of which is called the B-PAD, or Behavioral Personnel Assessment Device, test. This is a "behaviorally-based public safety assessment tool" that "requires applicants to demonstrate their responses to scenarios rather than merely describe what they would do." The goal is to give interviewers an understanding of how an applicant will react in various situations that are ethically difficult and test interpersonal skills.
What Is Being Tested
Three main skills are tested by a B-PAD. They are:
- Basic Problem Solving Skills – That is, how one finds solutions to difficult problems that involve various factors or demand the resolution of conflicting demands from various parties.
- Interpersonal Skills – That is, how an individual conducts his or herself in the presence of others and how he or she is able to handle his or herself when confronted by disagreeable personalities.
- Ethical Decision-Making Skills – That is, how an individual navigates through ethically murky situations, in which no "correct" decision is readily available.
How These Are Tested
B-PAD tests are conducted by having an applicant watch a series of simulations, after each of which the applicant is asked to respond as if he or she were in the situation. Each response is videotaped so that a series of raters not then present can evaluate the responses in order to secure the most-unbiased scores possible.
Interviewers' direction and rating sheets are carefully crafted to minimize interaction between interviewer and applicant, to direct the focus more on applicants' specific responses. These sheets comprise four sections:
- A description of each scene, in order to prime the applicant for what he or she is about to view.
- Interview questions, which should under no circumstances be deviated from, in order to ensure consistent testing from applicant to applicant.
- Samples of both strong and weak responses, in order to compare with applicants' responses.
- The three main scoring competencies, which were mentioned above in the "What Is Being Tested Section."
Why The B-PAD Is Trusted
This style of test has been proven to be successfully predict competence among applicants and behavioral actions of future employees. In addition to this, the test has been now created and proven to be "independent of rater race and sex, as well as ratees race and sex," thus to eliminate bias as much as possible from the application process.
Some such biases that the test works to eliminate are:
- Halo Effect – That is, the ability of one impression to influence the opinion of an unrelated area, such as a dealership with a high-end car surrounded with mediocre vehicles.
- Leniency/Severity Bias – That is, when one often consistently scores one's work too high or too low, respectively.
- Central Tendency – That is, when one compares with a score with the center of a data set, calculated by the mean, median, or mode.
- Personal Bias/Rater's Mood – That is, how the rater feels at a given moment or deeply held prejudices owned by the rater.

If you haven't been able to see Britney Spears in Las Vegas no worries, it looks like she will be extending her contract!
Her shows have been doing well from the start. The hotel makes money and so does Britney and apparently she is being offered $12 million to extend her contract for another year.
$12 million for one year! We can't imagine anyone saying no to that.
She gets to fly in on a private jet and stays in a ridiculously awesome villa at Caesar's Palace when she is in Vegas to perform. Not a suite, not a pent house, a villa!
So get excited for more Britney at the happiest place on earth we all know as Las Vegas.

About Givenchy
Renowned throughout the world for his exquisite taste and style, Hubert de Givenchy was born in 1927 in Beauvais, France. Having shown a passion for fashion and a flair for creation since childhood, Givenchy moved to Paris at the age of 17 and studied under some of the great masters of the time. Hubert de Givenchy opened his Maison de Couture on February 2nd 1952. It was not long before his clothes collections became an enormous success and he was dressing famous figures such as Audrey Hepburn, Lauren Bacall, Greta Garbo, Elizabeth Taylor, Marlene Dietrich and Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis. In 1957 Hubert de Givenchy launched his own perfumery division, and his classic elegance was well suited to fragrance. His second fragrance, L'Interdit, was inspired by the legendary icon Audrey Hepburn.In 1980 Hubert de Givenchy was voted Personality of the Year and Most Elegant Man of the Year.
Givenchy has received a number of received a number of prestigious awards, including De d'or, France's most desirable fashion prize. Launch of the women's fragrance Ysatis caused quite a stir. The streamlined bottle was a unique blend of style and sophistication and was inspired by the New York skyline. After years of acclaim as a designer, Hubert de Givenchy retired in 1995 and passed the gauntlet to talented young designers such as John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and Julien MacDonald. Today, Givenchy is still the first word in elegance and both its classic and modern styles are an inspiration to icons around the world. Some of the most recent women's fragrances include Oblique, Hot Couture and Amarige, while the very first perfume to be launched by Givenchy, known as De, is still coveted by many.

About me
Posted on 14.09.11 by admin
I am Alison Gibb, an interiors feature writer and stylist. My husband, Douglas, is a photographer and together, we create features for Interiors magazines.
We act as 'scouts', actively looking for good stories. They could be anywhere – we do travel, but we live in Scotland, so that is where most of our work is based.
We live in a beautiful village, just outside Edinburgh, beside the seaside, called Gullane. A stunning part of the world, so we are never short of stories. It is very des-res and has some very glamorous inhabitants (ie my friends) who you will get to know in this blog.
Running a business with your husband is fun, if you get on well, and you both like bare-knuckle fighting…
I suppose I should show you our house….bits of it at least, not a real 'favourite', but a good place to start…
Our kitchen….we live by the beach and we were inspired by the idea of a beach cafe…
Our upstairs bathroom…partly designed by me, partly designed by Doug, I regret this now. I wanted the blue mosaic, Doug wanted the travertine. We have ended up with a bit of both, a half hearted compromise. Wish we had committed to one or the other.
Our downstairs bathroom was designed by Doug – I just left him to it. It has a strong identity and we both love it.
This beautiful glass topped driftwood table was made by by Doug. He and our kids dragged the driftwood up from Aberlady bay….let it dry out and then produced this. The pieces are all invisibly doweled together…He found the mantelpiece on Gullane Beach.
Last but not least, the latest addition to our home is our garden office. Quite an effort – first of all deciding to build it, then building it…taking photographs of it just about finished us off, I am not sure which bit was the most difficult? Probably the deciding bit, if I am honest – that went on for years!
But I have to say that it has been a total success in the end, we are both absolutely delighted.
A real favourite has to be my brother's house, however, courtesy of his wife, actually. Elaine is brilliant – she single-handedly managed the conversion of this old stone cow byre in West Lothian, sourcing the wood, which lines all the main rooms, from potatoe boxes, grabbing the kitchen from friends who were chucking it out….She fitted it herself, shouting at my poor brother constantly, to keep out of the way during the process, knowing that if he went anywhere near it the whole thing would fall down!
Mouth watering colours and textures result in a look that is definitely not off the shelf!
A nomadic mix of Middle Eastern treasures, family heirlooms and antiques unearthed in the most unlikeliest and unpromising of places ensure that Ian and Elaine's home is unique.
Elaine' eye for a bargain, mixed with her skill and taste has given their home a look that money alone simply could not buy.
Doug's family also deserve a mention I suppose!! Margaret and John – his parents – are completely monogomous renovators…..they never get sick of their house that they built in 1962 – they just change it!
John won a travel scholarship to Denmark as a young, architecture student, Margaret went with him and the pair of them have never looked back.
They came home and built this Danish-style courtyard house, in Edinburgh, completing it just as Douglas was born.
For Margaret and John Scandi-style is not just a look – it is a way of life!!
They have been working on their home for 50 years now, adding extensions, moving the kitchen…..they never stop – you could get quite dizzy!

Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA)
On 15 December 1998, the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) headquarters moved to a new 10- storey building located about 10 km south-west of central Seoul. Detailed information on the move of the Satellite Division and/or the Remote Sensing Research Laboratory (METRI/KMA) can be obtained at the KMA homepage (http://www.kma.go.kr and/or http://www. metri.re.kr).
There are 5 radar weather stations, 88 weather stations and about 400 automatic weather stations throughout the country. KMA contains the Satellite Office (14 employees), equipped with a new dual-satellite data receiving/analysing system and with the receiving system for GMS-5 and NOAA satellites. Reception of future meteorological satellite data is also being prepared, like FY-2b from China, the Geostationary Operational Meteorological Satellite (GOMS) from the Russian Federation and MTSat from Japan.
For the general public, satellite imaginary is serviced through the KMA home page since 1997. Because of the direct access, the number of hard copy images requested from the public decreased dramatically, from 3,200 to 1,700 and 103 images for 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Currently, infra-red, visible, fog and yellow sand images for the latest 24 hours are available. For in-house users, an Intranet server is being prepared by the MSD. The Intranet server provides more items and for longer time periods (at present data for one month) than the Internet server.
In the case of the numerical weather prediction model, the global data assimilation and prediction system (GDAPS) uses satellite data for data assimilation. Currently, the GDAPS uses the weekly averaged global sea surface temperature (SST) from the National Environment Satellite, Data and Information Service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States of America through the Internet. Inclusion of the weekly averaged SST data has significantly improved the assimilated temperatures and wind fields, especially over the southern hemisphere. The GDAPS also uses gridded data, which are useful for the improvement of humidity sounding, especially over the ocean. Although SST data, upper tropospheric water vapour data and data on total precipitable water near the Korean peninsular are generated, they have not been used for GDAPS input because of quality control and other problems.

It's all about having the quality of build to match the power, and with the Diana 350 you get the best of both worlds. It has enough serious power in the .22 calibre (and .177 I guess) to cover about 100% of your airgunning needs and you don't ever have to ask yourself if it will hang in there because it more than likely will. The rifle is an extremely well built unit and with its new T06 trigger is so smooth to fire. You do have to adopt a good hold to get great accuracy though and you should… Read Full Review

I agree with this review. I personally owned HW80 .22 (FAC version) for two and a half years and knew pretty well how the HW80 works and how much power it can deliver at 50 yards. When I bought my RWS 350 .22 TO6 trigger in June 2012, I quickly realised that it was much better than my HW80 .22 FAC version in all respect. I can proudly say that I don't use telescope with air rifles. I am happy with the iron sights. Iron sights are wonderful both in HW80 and RWS 350. The guns are easy to carry around without scope.
I recommend RWS 350 .22 to anyone interested in owning a meaningful spring air rifle. Happy save shooting...!

This was not cheap to buy around 460 Euro plus a decent zoom scope & of course Diabolo Exact pellets. I tried the standard 4,5mm pellets but the velocity so so high that the pellet exceeded sound speed ( audible crack when fires) & accuracy was poor. So I tried 4,52mm & boy what a difference. Accuracy over 65 meter was perfect & would break a vodka bottle filled with water at that distance on first hit. The gun oozes quality, construction is solid & the gun is relatively heavy compared to my… Read Full Review

I have bought my brand new RWS 350 .22 magnum air rifle a few days back. My first shots with H&N Baracuda 21.10 grain (sorry, don't remember the exact weight) and H&N Field Target Trophy 15.10 grain pellets, made in Germany, are great. I had owned HW80 .22 (FAC), Gamo Stutzen .22, Winchester X1000.177, and Hatsan Mod.60 .22. I have also test-shot several pellets from Webley Patriot .22, Gamo Extreme 1250 .22 and other strong springers. My experience tells me that 350 .22 magnum is, so far, the… Read Full Review

I have 2 RWS 350's, a Feuerkraft in .177 and a Magnum in .22. Both are one hole shooters if I do my part with a consistent hold. At my indoor 25 foot range I regularly put 10 shots in a 1/2" bull. I rest the rifle just ahead of the trigger on a bundle of rags using my off hand to steady my shooting arm that is also resting. This target hold gives very tight groups with all types of ammo so far. If the groups begin to widen it is solely because I was sloppy with the stock to shoulder… Read Full Review

The compensator I used on the Feuerkraft .177 was a 10" Picatinney converter unit made by UTG for RWS's with the T05 trigger. It is just out so it may be hard to find for a while.

Just started working with my new 350. Great accuracy and trigger but I'm not getting the high FPS always quoted in the catalogs. Most lead pellets are turning in something between 790-830 FPS over my Crony. When I do the math it means they are all giving me between 20 and 21 pounds. I was kind of hoping for a 24 pound rifle but that is kind of an arbitrary figure I pulled out of the air I guess. Maybe as the rifle breaks in the FPS will climb a little. Overall, I'm very happy with the rifle… Read Full Review

I've owned an RWS 350 .22 since they were introduced, the only problem with this gun I've ever had was scope creep. Thats intrinsic with any springer this powerful, all real magnums have this problem. The best remedy for this I've found so far is use the beefiest one piece scope mount you can find, and as for that set screw near the front of mount that is supposed to go into that dimple on the scope rail (slide the mount forward and let that set screw hang down in front of the scope rail) plus… Read Full Review

I'll openly admit I'm a sucker for power. Dollar for dollar the RWS 350 will give you the best power and quality combination of the magnum class springers I have tried. I simply could not justify the 3x price of a new Theoben Eliminator even though I'll admit it is the "class" of the big springers. The Theoben is a beautiful air rifle and a bit more powerful than the RWS 350. I liked the looks of the Gamo Hunter Extreme better than the RWS 350 and even got to shoot one. It was much harder to… Read Full Review

I've been shooting my RWS 350 with a Golden Antler scope and JSB or Predator pellets. My rifle is tuned and the barrel is chopped and crowned. I would recogmend this procedure to anyone with this rifle. It lessens the weight,eases cocking,and improves accuracy.
It's important to master the artilery hold on this one… Read Full Review

I have had the RWS 350 for over a month now (.22 cal), broke my first scope with it and purchased a leapers 3x9-50 scope with utg rail mounts. Will see how long that lasts. Accuracy is good enough to shoot the tops off dandelions at 35 yards and hit pop cans at 70 yards all day long with crosman premier hollow points.
After about 2000 rounds it is cocking really smooth now and settling in.
I like the accuracy but don't like the weight. BUT for a break barrel rifle it doesn't get much… Read Full Review

While 1,200 f.p.s. sounds impressive, experienced airgunners know it's best to keep the terminal velocity of diabolo pellets below the threshold of the sound barrier for best accuracy. Any object traveling at or above the speed of sound (a variable velocity that remains around 1,100 f.p.s. at sea level) creates a wave of pressure through which it must pass. That wave is disruptive to shapes not streamlined for supersonic flight - which the diabolo pellet definitely isn't. The pressure wave… Read Full Review

With a long rail scope mount and a decent scope it's is a killer combination for ground squirrel, rabbit and other furry critters in the same size range. Choose your ammo wisely.

hmmm... I would have normally said : "you probably got a lemon"... but I suspect you are not holding this quality German air rifle correctly. search on Google: how to properly hold an air rifle. It makes the world of difference!!!!
Written on: 23/05/2009
I suppose I'll have to concur with you on the occasional poor manufacturing quality of the 350's that are made. Most are well made. As 99% of the reviews are positive.

I also encountered a poorly made 350 model that slipped through the final inspection. I did have to send it back, of which upon a quick turn around time yielded an extremely reliable & accurate rifle.

It is a big gun, requiring the shooter to work out physically so as to "learn" to shoot such a power plant. Mine is a .350 in .22 caliber. And yes I get tired holding it up, shooting and cocking. After an hour I'm pooped, I don't bench rest the gun, I sit or stand free.

Yes there are guns that shoot easier and are more accurate if not just as. But I feel the reason the RWS 350 in either caliber is so popular is that buyers, consumers or airgun shooters want the "power" ....and the balance of better made manufacturing components & quality than most other brands that have cut costs by using plastic or producing it "off shore".

I hope you give the RWS 350 another chance. And if not that's okay too, I'm just as picky as to what I like to shoot. The 350's come in a wide array of features & configurations now, if you go to diana mayer gammel spacher.com or diana airguns .com.

As for Umarex and their customer service, I was treated well. I always approach customer services carefully.

Never criticize your mechanic before or when he is tuning your car.

You did not say if you have the .177 or .22 caliber. If the .177, be aware the Velocity rating is listed at 1250 fps. Anything over 1080 fps is going supersonic so ANY pellet will begin to tumble and lose accuracy. You must slow it down either by using a heavy pellet or by detuning.

I read all the reviews Icould before buying a 350. It seems most complaints are about accuracy. I've had a R1 and FWB 124 about 20 years ago, so I know what accurate air rifles can do,and I know how to shoot them. This is the first air rifle that I have shot with iron sights, as I always had a scope on my other rifles. I have found, at least for me, that I need to have a light hold on the front of this rifle for it to be accurate. Or at least accurate for me with iron sights. The 350 I have… Read Full Review

were you using a scope and mount designed specifically for airguns? probably not
Written on: 15/04/2015
If the scope mount, as well as rings are properly tightened, this should not be an issue. Springers do produce recoil, especially the RWS 350. On my .22 Mod 350,I use a good 30mm scope mount and Leupold tactical scope. Supported, this combination gives me regular sub-MOA accuracy. My RWS mod 34 (.177) gives me even betterr accuracy and its 20 years old!
Note on scopes used with air rifles - check with the scope manufacturer and ensure it is suitable for springer (air rifle) use -- not all scopes are intended or made to perform with types of recoil springers produce.

I'm very displeased with the acuracy of this gun in .177. Thus far I have put about 150 rounds thru the gun. I bought the heaviest pellets I could find locally. RWS Superdomes, 8.3 gr. and then Crossman Premier Hollow Points that I didn't go to the trouble of accurately weighing but which tipped the scales set at 8.3 in the heavy direction. Probably over 9 gr. According to info I've read these weights should be sufficient to keep the velocity well below the speed of sound. My groupings… Read Full Review

I am trying almoust 20 different pellets. The best is Baracuda Match heavy 4,53. You can hit 20mm c.t.c. at 50m easely.

Do not use pellets under 10gr. weight.

I BROKE TO SCOPES IN THE BEGINING (HAWKE 4-12X50 AND NORCONIA 8X56, BOTH AFTER ONLY 50-100 SHOTS)

WITH WALTHER I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM AFTER 2500 SHOTS.

YESTERDAY I AM TRYING THE FIRST TIME JSB EXACT HEAVY 4,52 - 10,3gr. ON 50m I GOT THE SAME ACCURACY LIKE BARACUDA (20mm/c.t.c.) , BUT 2 cm HIGH. THERE IS A VELOCITY TEST:

BARACUDA 4,53 - (974f/s-1m) and (703f/s - 50m)

JSB EXACT HEAVY 4,52mm - (993f/s-1m) and (806f/s -50m). IN THE EVENING I SHOT RABIT ON 55-60m IN CHEST AND PELLET GO THRU HIM. AFTER TWO JUMPS, HE DROP. THIS IS A GREAT HUNTING PELLET, IT HAS THE BEST BALISTIK OF ALL MY PELLETS AND HIGH VELOCITY AT THAT WEIGHT.

IT HAS ALLSO A LITLE SMALLEST HEAD AND IT IS EASY TO PUSH INTO RIFLE. TRY IT?

I HOPE, I HELP YOU. IF YOU LIKE TO KNOW SOMETHING...

YOU WILL SEE, THAT YOU HAVE AN EXELENT RIFLE!

Negative Camber Truck Club - Club Profile
Pimping Minis Since 1992
Negative Camber is easily one of the most recognized names in our scene. When it comes to being "minitruck famous" this club has really helped set the standards. Not only is it one of the oldest clubs around, it has really set its mark in the history books of minitrucks. Founded sometime around Resolutions of 1992, five friends from different clubs decided to start their own group. Picking up a few pointers from some other clubs, Negative Camber was born as the first un-club.
So, what is an un-club? It's basically a group of friends-with the same passion for nice trucks, in a laid-back and unorganized atmosphere, who all wear the same shirts, and sport the same logo. The first five members of NC didn't believe in the rules of the other clubs at that time. Courtney said, it seemed like the rules were set so one guy could act bigger or more important than the next guy. But, to these first five, minitruckin' was more than rules. It was about hanging out with your real friends, enjoying a cold brew, all while watching people enjoy your ride. And for the past 15 years, NC has stuck to its same beliefs and lives by them.
Besides having a plethora of feature and cover trucks in its ranks, many members are also involved with the automotive scene. In its ranks, NC has had shop owners, magazine editors, fabricators, painters, and so on. In 2007, it had three cover trucks and won Club of the Year for the second time, becoming the first club to ever do this. Courtney said that even though the club became smaller in 2007, it helped the members become even closer.
We had the pleasure of interviewing Courtney on all things Negative Camber, as well as a few other guys. Here's what they had to say.
Club Profile: Negative Camber
Date Founded: Winter of '92
Interview with: Courtney Halowell
Date Founded: Winter of '92
Interview with: Courtney Halowell
How many members or chapters are there?NC has a few hundred members all over the U.S. and in a few other countries, such as Australia and Japan.
Could we have a history of why the club began?It started sometime around Resolutions of 1992. A group of five of us decided that the clubs we were in just weren't all of what we were looking for.
Number of chapters:Who knows?
Are there any rules, examples of what it takes to join?Somebody has to vouch for you, it takes years of dedication, and you really have to put your work in. It's more about the people than just the truck.
Website and information:www.negativecamber.com
Are there any major accomplishments?We won the first Club of the Year Award and then again in 2007, making us the first club to win it twice.
Has it had any cover vehicles?The club's had too many to list, but these are two of the first: Brian Jendro's chopped Toyota Hi-Lux and Sal Marchese's Truckin' cover.
Is there any community involvement?Any event that you ever see the name Negative Camber attached to it has to be for charity. Something most people never knew is that they judged the car classes at Showfest in Greenville.
Are there any club standards?You have to be invited, that should say it all right there. It has to be pretty nice. It has to be a feeling, it can be painted, patina; it's a case-by-case basis. Look at the vehicle for what it is. It could be a hot-rod, a mini, a car, or a bike. Once you're in with a truck, you can build whatever you want, but you have to get in with a truck.
How would you define the club?The very first un-club.
What was the best or worst moment for the club?One night, when the show "Saturday Night Live" was on, Travis Barker wore an NC hat that a member had given him. So, that's the best moment obviously. The worst was probably the guy who waited six months to get in and didn't even last the weekend before he joined another club. Well, it seems more funny than bad.
Is there an ultimate goal or reason for being?The real reason Negative Camber started is actually pretty crazy. The guys were trying to keep the girlfriends from lynching one another. That pretty much sums it up; besides the whole un-club thing.
Who were the first five?Courtney Halowell, Brian Jendro, Sal Marchese, Boomer Glassner, and Mike Peters.
Anything else you would like to add?If you're doing it for the trophies, you're doing it for the wrong reasons. Shows are just an excuse to sit in a lawn chair and have a couple of beers with your homies. Don't stress over the five points for a fire extinguisher the judge might have missed.
