SummaryEasily the best in the Elite series, although a bit buggy at times
The GoodRealistic Newtonian physics (for its time) provide a great and realistic atmosphere, good graphics (again for its time), and further helps improving this unique atmosphere.
I like the idea of seamlessly being able to travel from space to terra firma, with full 3D planetary topography - a feature that has never (to the best of my knowledge) been attempted again in any commercial game since First Encounters (Noctis is probably the closest thing you'll get, where the surfaces are even more detailed - but the transition from space to ground is still not quite as seamless as that in Frontier or FFE).
Exploration in Frontier is simply amazing, although it does get somewhat repetitive over time, combat is a bit frustrating at first, but ends up being one of the many unique features in the game as it evolves (space dog-fighting in Newtonian physics are indeed very hard – proving its not likely to ever happen that way in real-life).
The BadThere are a few bugs but - thank god - these are far lesser and less critical then in the sequel.
They could have worked more on the sounds and music, and also a tad more at the plot and missions - for not to mention trying to make the universe more dynamic.
AI is quite poor as well - I generally don't mind that, but Frontier really could use a bit refreshing on the computer brain part.
Also, I really wish we were able to actually leave the ship and explore a planet on foot - I mean, seeing all these mountains and lakes and rivers passing by really makes me want to climb out of the cockpit and explore them further. Unfortunately, Frontier doesn't seem to allow that; a shame really: all these detailed worlds, and so relatively limited ways to really experience them. Oh well, one can't have everything, I guess - and we have to remember Frontier was coded in a time when DOS was full of restrictions.
All of these are mainly just minor rants though, I'm sure I'll remember more after I've submitted this review...
The Bottom LineFrontier is quite easily one of the very best games in the Elite series - with all its detailed worlds and countless star systems. It has probably not yet been surpassed by any other commercial game (although Alessandro Ghignola's Noctis appears to be closing in fast to become the successor to Frontier's exploration elements).
Although the initial release was rushed a bit out the door, the few bugs that could hamper the Gameplay has been mostly removed; and only a very few remain.
Although occasionally a bit frustrating, Frontier makes it very clear why the series gained its popularity: although it does have a few lacks and mistakes here and there, Frontier was and remains quite simply a work of art rarely seen in commercial games
Final Score: 8/10

When Howard Webb was a full-time police officer, West Bar Station was the place every Sheffield bobby wanted to be posted.
And now Howard has returned to see why the new Hampton by Hilton hotel - the station in refurbished form - is expected to prove equally attractive for guests.
Gone are the days of cells and panda cars, functional offices and fingerprint files.
Instead the top football referee - who worked as a South Yorkshire Police sergeant at West Bar for eight years - got the chance to see the Hilton's plush hotel rooms, modern gym facilities and restaurant endorsed by Michelin-starred chef Marco Pierre White.
He was joined by enquiries desk assistant Janet Brown - the last person to lock up the station before it underwent its multi-million pound refurbishment.
Howard, currently back with the police in a community engagement role, said it was 'nice to see the building put to good use'.
"It was one of those iconic places in the police, where everyone wanted to be sent to," he said. "It's difficult to visualise where some of the things were, looking at it now, but I have quite a few nice memories of the place. It would have been nice to have had a bar!"
Howard said the rooms were a far cry from the basic accommodation provided to some young officers when he joined the force.
"It was like a barracks - you got an allowance and somewhere to stay if you had no living arrangements," he said.
A particular staircase in the hotel also brought back memories: "We used to time ourselves running down the stairs as a fitness challenge."
Janet said she thought the transformation was 'absolutely marvellous'.
Tomorrow the hotel is being transported back to its days as a police station for a special 'Whodunnit'-themed opening party.

Concern is growing for a missing Bainsford mum.
Catherine Hall was last seen by her son when she left him in Falkirk town centre last night.
The 53-year-old, of Dollar Gardens, walked away from Woodlands Games Hall, next to Comely Park Primary, at around 6.30 p.m.
She was last seen heading for Cow Wynd.
Catherine is described as around 5ft 6ins, of medium build with blue eyes and blonde shoulder length hair.
She normally wears black glasses and was carrying a black handbag.
Falkirk Inspector Paul Rollo said: "This is completely out of character for Catherine to go missing.
"We and her family are greatly concerned for her. I would appeal for Catherine or anyone who may have seen or spoken to her to contact us."
Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 or information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The Baltimore Orioles acquired veteran reliever Scott Proctor from the San Francisco Giants for cash Friday, according to multiple reports. Proctor will report to Triple-A Norfolk following the trade.
Proctor last pitched in the big leagues in 2011 for the New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves and pitched in Korea in 2012. The seven-year right-hander has played for the Yankees, Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers, posting a 4.78 ERA over 343 innings as a big leaguer.

The night before Mitt Romney announced his vice presidential pick, he called Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R) to say he was putting somebody else on his ticket.
McDonnell, long considered a contender for the No. 2 slot, said he was content with the consolation prize: having the Romney unveil his running mate, Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan, in Virginia.
McDonnell took that as a nod to the state's importance in the presidential race, although it turns out Virginia wasn't Romney's first choice. The Romney campaign initially planned to announce Ryan's selection in New Hampshire Friday, the Post's Philip Rucker reports. It shifted to Virginia on Saturday to allow Ryan to attend a memorial service for victims of a Sikh temple shooting in his district.
"Governor Romney called me Friday evening to let me know the fact that the decision for vice president had been made and that he was going to announce it the next morning in Norfolk," McDonnell said on WNIS-AM 790 in Norfolk. "And the candidate would be there, and that I would get a chance to introduce him. And then he would have the candidate come walking down the gangplank of the [USS] Wisconsin.
"So I thought, 'What a great venue that's going to be.' And it obviously showed the importance that he places on Virginia to make the announcement here. And, of course, with Paul Ryan, who is a fantastic choice, walking down the plank of the [USS] Wisconsin, the state that he's from, it couldn't have been more fitting and poignant. So I thought it was a great day. I was excited to get that call, and I think that this is a very good team for the future of our country."
A caller to the radio show said she had been "saddened" to learn that McDonnell would not be on the ticket, telling the governor, 'You're the most presidential person."
McDonnell said he was flattered that Romney had considered him, but said Romney would be well served by Ryan's "skill set" — his "astounding command of the federal budget. That's the biggest problem we have."
"It was nice to be kicked around with the names of a bunch of other very significant and talented people that were being considered by Governor Romney," McDonnell said. "He made a great choice that will be great for America."

Hope Solo: Dancing with the Stars Will Make Solo Better Soccer PlayerSeptember 21, 2011
As everyone may know, Hope Solo has taken a break from her day job as goalie for U.S women's national soccer team to participate on Dancing With the Stars. She was able to waltz her way into the second round, but this is just the beginning of good things for the soccer star.
Solo has always been a very outspoken athlete. She knows who she is, what she believes in and is not afraid to call anyone out when she feels they are in the wrong.
Case in point: the 2007 FIFA World Cup. Solo was benched in the championship game for Briana Scurry, who had not played once during the tournament. She was not happy about the decision—not that she should have been; she was playing as well as any goalie in the world at that time—and let her opinions be heard.
Solo had every right to be angry, but she made the whole situation public. She criticized her coach and showed no support to her teammate, which is not what you want when you are getting ready to play in the most important game that any of them will ever play.
But now that she is on Dancing With the Stars, Solo will have to learn discipline and self-control in order to be successful. In turn, she will take what she learns as a dancer and apply it to what she does on the soccer field.
Solo's intensity is one of the things that make her great, but it can also consume her. She gets lost in her own head and that filter that she should have isn't there.
No one is ever going to tell Solo what to do, and that is fine because she should be her own person, but now she can become an even better athlete and person. Dancing can be a very strenuous activity, but it is also very soothing to the soul.
Solo does not have to completely change—she is still one of the best goalies in the world—but a little tweak here and there will make her even more dangerous when she is protecting the net.

Shawn Horcoff has missed only two games. Ryan Smyth has been absent for just five.
But with the Edmonton Oilers mired in a four-game slump and seeing as how the pair make up two-thirds of the top line on a team that has scored only six goals in its last four games, the time span seems like an eternity to the productive twosome.
"Terrible, it's the worst," said Horcoff of the helpless feeling. "Especially with being at home. If the team was on the road, I could watch on TV and I'd have my daughter with me which would make it a little easier to swallow. When the team's at home, you're around the guys before the game and in between periods and you're watching with all the fans around you which makes it pretty difficult.
"It feels like weeks to me and it's only been a couple of days."
Horcoff and Smyth were on the ice yesterday when the Oilers hit Millennium Place for a practice, although they were out earlier and on a different rink than the rest of the team.
Horcoff's bruised right shoulder is on the mend. There's some discomfort at times, such as taking wrist shots, and he'll likely test it with a few bumps in practice later this week.
Smyth took his first skate on the damaged knee which has been fit with a new brace that replaces the brace he's worn for the last seven years. No timetable has been set for his return, but he initially had hoped to better the medical staff's first prognosis of two to six weeks. That won't happen now, yet Smyth is optimistic of his future.
"I don't have any negative longterm thoughts at all," said Smyth, who suffered a sprained left MCL against Vancouver on Oct. 8.
"I can't go in with any mindset like that. Injuries are part of the game and it was a freak thing that happened."
While the pair's health issues have them temporarily in the dumps, a boost came yesterday when they were joined by teammates Chris Pronger, Michael Peca and Steve Staios as members of the 81-man consideration longlist for the Canadian Olympic squad submitted to the IIHF. The final roster will be selected by Dec. 22.
Smyth's biggest pain right now is seeing his team struggle along and realizing that he's unable to do his part in trying to turn things around.
"Every player hates sitting out and watching whether they're injured or a healthy scratch especially when things are not going so smooth," said Smyth, who notched a goal and three assists in two games.
"You feel like you can contribute and be a part. But it's better now than later on in the season."
The injury threw an odd twist in Horcoff's season. Prior to the start, many felt the Oilers needed a significant upgrade at centre because of his inconsistent production. Thanks to his torrid start with three goals and three assists in six games, Horcoff showed he could carry some scoring load.
The injury occurred on a harmless-looking play last Friday against Colorado. All of a sudden, half of the doubters were clamouring for the Oilers to make a deal with both Horcoff and Smyth shelved while the other half were praying for their speedy returns to health.
Go figure.
"I know I had confidence that I could come out and prove it but it was a matter of being able to do it," said Horcoff.
OIL SPILLS: Smyth and Horcoff were joined on the ice by draft pick Tyler Spurgeon, who is recovering from off-season shoulder surgery. He was not expected to rejoin the WHL's Kelowna Rockets until Christmas but is now in line for an earlier return date.

Breastfeeding in emergencies
Protecting the vulnerable in times of vulnerability
Nutrition seminar
Tuesday, 6 August 2013
11:00 to 12:00, Salle B
Ms. Linda Shaker-Berbari
University of Balamand, Beirut, Lebanon
Natural disasters, war, civil unrest and other catastrophes continue to disrupt, and often seriously endanger, the lives of millions of people around the world. Whatever their cause, emergencies pose a particularly grave threat to the health, nutritional status and very survival of infants and young children. Fortunately, much of the disability and death typical among this age group in such circumstances can be averted - provided proper feeding and care can be ensured.
This year's World Breastfeeding Week theme is Breastfeeding Support: Close to Mothers, support is especially needed when vulnerable groups live in times of vulnerability, such is the case of emergency situations. Ms. Shaker-Berbari, as an expert in the work on breastfeeding in the context of emergencies, will present the experience related with protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding and the challenges faced because of the Syria crisis.
She will make an introduction on the importance of breastfeeding, issues related with breastfeeding during emergencies and as a life saving intervention. Ms Shaker-Berbari will also present the WHO guidelines as well as the operational guidance for breastfeeding in emergencies.

text: I am interested in trying thicker versions of the MOJO gut hybrid in an open string pattern. The question is does anyone have experience with the new Pro or Control instead of the Classic? I like the idea of not having to string 10% higher. Also concerned that the Classics aren't shown on the Isospeed website, so I figure why get hooked on a string that is likely discontinued. But does the new Pro and Control provide the same benefit as Classic in a gut hybrid? There was no TW feedback for Control Classic but the feedback comments for Control appear to be for the older Classic. Now I am really confused. Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

The University of Cambridge and Cancer Research UK have appointed Professor Simon Tavaré to be the next director of the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute. He will take up his new post in February 2013, succeeding Professor Sir Bruce Ponder.
Professor Tavaré said: "I'm thrilled to be taking on this exciting new role. We will make further strides in our understanding of cancer while enhancing the international reputation of the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute. Our understanding of cancer is at a turning point. We are uncovering more of cancer's secrets – and these secrets are taking us down new avenues of research that can lead to better treatments. Cancer research is indeed in an unprecedented age of discovery."
The Cambridge Institute is one of Cancer Research UK's five institutes, playing a key role in its world-class research to find new ways to tackle cancer. Each year, thanks to the generosity of its supporters, Cancer Research UK invests £21m in the Institute to support this work.
Patrick Maxwell, Regius Professor of Physic and Head of the School of Clinical Medicine at the University of Cambridge, said: "I am delighted that Professor Tavaré will be leading the Cambridge Institute. One of my main aims in Cambridge is to cross-fertilise different disciplines and Simon's work applying mathematical approaches to understanding cancer is a fantastic example of how powerful this can be."
Dr Harpal Kumar, Cancer Research UK's chief executive, said: "It's a great pleasure to announce Professor Tavaré as the new director of the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute. His research into statistical modeling and its application to genomics and cancer has earned him worldwide recognition. These are some of the new frontiers of cancer research that will yield more discoveries. The significant challenges that cancer poses are not insurmountable, and we look forward to Simon leading our Cambridge Institute in carrying out the high-impact research that will help us to cure more cancers sooner."

Dark - Preview @ Strategy Informer
A preview of the 'vampire stealth game with some RPG in it' Dark can be found at Strategy Informer.
Dark is very much a back-to-basics game, and the developers have tried very hard to recapture the 'root' of the stealth game. Despite my previous protestations, the cell-shaded look combines with the comic-book style perfectly, presenting the player with a highly stylised world that's not boring. As for the stealth part – it's all down to you. There are no guns for Eric Bane (protagonist, voiced by Geralt of Rivera) to use, no weapons... you simply have to use your natural strength and guile, as well as the array of Vampire abilities you can unlock over time. Vampire abilities range from doing a shadow leap – going from one spot another instantaneously, to Vampire vision so you can scout out the area. Abilities require blood points to use, which you can get by feeding on moral enemies as we've just mentioned. A standardised RPG system allows you to level up and develop, and offers some flexibility in terms of what route you take.

All of these paper models are about formula one (F1). Formula One, also known as Formula 1 or F1 and referred to officially as the FIA Formula One World Championship, is the highest class of single seater auto racing sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The Formula One series originated with the European Grand Prix Motor Racing of the 1920s and 1930s. The "formula" is a set of rules which all participants' cars must meet. Formula One was a new formula agreed after World War II during 1946, with the first non-championship races being held that year. A number of Grand Prix racing organisations had laid out rules for a World Championship before the war, but due to the suspension of racing during the conflict, the World Drivers' Championship was not formalised until 1947. The first world championship race was held at Silverstone, United Kingdom in 1950. A championship for constructors followed in 1958. National championships existed in South Africa and the UK in the 1960s and 1970s. Non-championship Formula One events were held for many years but, due to the increasing cost of competition, the last of these occurred in 1983.

i must admit that i was a bit of a fan of JoJo the first couple of times i went. but the last two occasions The Kid and i dined at JoJo left us wishing we had gone to Taiwan Cafe.
on our last visit (6/27) we started with the pig ears which were loaded with garlic but a bit too hard and crunchy. the mini steamed buns were decent but the wrappers tore way too easily losing most of the soup.
moving on to the beef with longhorn peppers which we love at TC but JoJo's preparation lacked a depth of flavor and heat.
next we tried the three cups cuttlefish and while the cuttlefish was properly tender the sauce was not only muddy tasting but appeared to have actual mud in it, not good at all.
the only thing we really liked were the tofu skin rolls and even on those the wrappers fell off the filling too easily.
we'll probably give it another shot, but not any time soon


text: First off thank you so much for this awesome, easy to follow guide. I have used it a bunch of times on 4.2U wii's and a couple of times on 4.3U wii's and it works perfect. But I ran into a little problem when I just did it to a new black 4.3u wii and wanted to share my problem and how I fixed it. I am by NO MEANS anywhere near an expert on any of this so please forgive my novice language and terms. Also if this has already been covered I apologize also. So what happened was after I modded with the guide for 4.3 and using USB Loader GX I noticed the wii was very slow loading games and froze on call of duty black opps. From having this problem before on older 4.2's I had to upgrade cios 249 to cIOS249wad[57]-v20.wad. BUT the cios249 was already version 21, after following some other suggestions I found on here with no luck, I decided to "downgrade" my cios to cIOS249[57]-v20.wad and believe it or not that fixed all the problems I was having, made the wii A LOT quicker loading and played all my games. I don't know how or why, I just know that it worked for me. But I suggest that before anyone follows what i did to check with Mauifrog or any of the other staff on here, these guys really know there stuff and sorry again if I'm covering something thats already been said or if I'm putting this in the wrong place.

Step 1
Pick up the table and take it to a place where you have room to work, such as out in a garage. Set the table, with the top down, on the floor.
Step 2
Find and remove the screws, if any, used to secure the legs to the table with the screwdriver.
Step 3
Measure the height of each of the table legs with the tape measure. Make a note of the measurement of the shortest table leg.
Step 4
Measure the other table legs to the measurement you noted in Step 3. Make a mark on the each table leg with the pencil.
Step 5
Place a carpenter's square on the pencil marks and draw a straight line. This will be where the table legs need to be cut or trimmed.
Step 6
Set one of the table legs on a pair of saw horses and secure it with a clamp.
Step 7
Plug the circular saw into an electrical outlet. Align the blade of the saw on the pencil line you made in Step 5. If you do not have a circular saw, use a hand saw.
Step 8
Pull the trigger on the saw and cut along the line. Repeat Steps 6 through 8 for the remaining table legs.
Step 9
Reattach the legs to the table and turn it right-side up. Place a level on the table to see if it sits level on the floor.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Oasis Ministries for Spiritual Development, Camp Hill, PA, USA
Spiritual direction training with Oasis Ministries opened me to look and listen for God's presence in everyone and everything. It changed the way I relate to people. I found I am not called to be a spiritual director; Teaching and adminstration are my gifts. But Oasis has led me into a more open and a deeper space with those gifts. Oasis invited me to be a board member and I learned how to approach analytical and organizational decision-making in a contemplative way. There is a healthy balance within the organization and within the obard. It is good.

Seoul, Feb 19 (IANS) The recent shutdown of an inter-Korean industrial complex will have little impact on the South Korean economy, South Korea's finance minister said on Friday amid rising concerns about heightened geopolitical risks and an economic downturn.
Seoul closed the joint factory park in the North Korean border city of Kaesong, the last remaining symbol of South-North cooperation, in retaliation for Pyongyang's nuclear test on January 6 and long-range rocket launch in February, Yonhap news agency reported.
The measure has drawn mixed views on its effect, given the fact that 124 local manufacturers had run factory lines there with their output amounting to over $500 million last year.
"The production from Kaesong accounted for 0.04 percent of the total gross domestic product," Finance Minister Yoo Il-ho said.
"Many global credit rating agencies, including Moody's, have mentioned the Kaesong issue, but they made it clear that they will not change the country's grade."
Earlier this week Moody's said the closure of the Kaesong complex will be "credit negative" for South Korea due to the heightened geopolitical risks, but it left the country's rating unchanged.
The agency upgraded South Korea's credit rating to Aa2, the third-highest on the company's sovereign table, in 2015.
Yoo did not give details on speculation that North Korea used the money paid to its workers at the joint industrial park to fund its nuclear and missile programmes.
To aggressively cope with fast-escalating uncertainties in the world economy such as the cooldown in China, the finance minister said the government may take further expansionary fiscal policy measures down the road.
Earlier this month, the finance ministry announced an additional 21 trillion won ($17.4 billion) pump-priming stimulus for the first quarter including a six-month extension of a consumption tax cut programme.
"We don't consider an expansionary fiscal policy at this point, but it will be necessary if we face further challenges in the future," Yoo said.
"We need to carry out short-run measures to some extent because an excessive short-term shock can undermine a country's long-term growth potential."
To rein in the growth pace, the financial authorities came up with a plan to stiffen the loan screening process by money lenders and encourage fixed-rate loan programs.
Against this backdrop, Yoo said it is not necessary to tighten a set of mortgage regulations of the loan-to-value (LTV) or debt-to-income (DTI) ratios.
The LTV and DTI were eased in mid-2014 in order to give homebuyers greater access to mortgages and thus help boost the sluggish local housing market, as well as the overall economy.
The finance minister also said the government has no plans to lower taxes imposed on gasoline amid rising concerns that the local fuel tariffs have kept gas prices at the pump from going further down despite falling crude prices.

The Federal Government has announced another $10 million will go into the Farm Finance scheme in NSW, but not a dollar has been paid to farmers.
A rural financial counsellor in Bourke says other forms of assistance are also failing to reach drought-affected farmers.
So far, farmers have been offered a waiver on state government fees for the Livestock Health and Pest Authority and more money is going to rural financial services and livestock extension officers, who can advise farmers on how to manage stock in the dry conditions.
The Nationals Member for Dubbo, Troy Grant, is the parliamentary secretary for natural resources and he sits on the NSW Government's social policy committee.
He concedes that no-one has received any money from the Farm Finance package as state and federal governments haven't agreed on how to administer it.
"There has been a delay, which is regrettable. There are 100 applications and that money will flow very soon and apologies for the delay."
The Rural Assistance Authority says financial arrangements between the State and Commonwealth are now in place for the funds to start to flow and the RAA is processing the applications as quickly as possible.
Another $3 million of federal money will go into water infrastructure works on farms, as long as the NSW Government contributes some funding.
And while the two levels of government negotiate on how to manage the schemes, farmers are getting anxious.
Bourke rural counsellor Sharon Knight says immediate assistance is not reaching people.
"The pipe and cap bores are a great opportunity and really good - when you're not in drought. Right now, though, people need practical, on ground, immediate assistance."
She says the criteria for the Transitional Farm Family Payments are too tight for most farmers, who are asset rich and cash poor.
"I'm hoping that some of the criteria will be relaxed. We've flagged different hurdles that people have to get over...we're hoping that they will be relaxed."
Mr Grant says the State Government is doing everything it can for drought-affected farmers.
"We're in their corner and providing every bit of assistance we can."
The other issue troubling farmers is the Federal Government's decision to use unallocated Landcare funding for drought relief.
Doug Painting, a farmer from the Southern Tablelands, says Barnaby Joyce's drought announcement is like taking money from the left hand and giving it to the right and the value of Landcare in rural communities cannot be underestimated.
"If we take $10 million out of Landcare to prop up the (drought) problem at the moment, we're going to have $10 million less to put towards prevention of these problems in the future, for making sure the degradation hasn't carried on in the countryside."
Landcare groups in the state's north are also disappointed and concerned by the redirection of funds by the Federal Government.
The North Coast Regional Landcare Network's vice-president, Bob Jarman, says the groups are already operating on a shoestring budget as a result of State Government reforms to the sector.
He says broken promises by the Coalition could make it tougher.
"This year alone we've been cut by 80 per cent already, so further cuts will just makes us totally unviable."
Dougal Pottie, who comes from a farming family in the central west near Molo, has a different view.
He supports reallocating money to drought relief.
"It makes sense to ease the pressure on the land area impacted by drought. Drought assistance to primary producers in those areas should be a priority when directing taxpayer provided assistance. Other programs should be paused."
He argues that not all primary producers belong to Landcare, so that assistance is not universally available.
"Some of the projects the various Landcare groups succeed in funding probably should be funded out of the farmer's pocket. Should the taxpayer fund projects...which are really luxuries?"
Mr Grant says the State Government is working alongside farmers to get through the drought.
"I think the fundamental thing to remember is a lot of the people that make up Landcare are farmers themselves; they're not two separate entities and it's a matter of making sure that money and resources are going to the need at the time," he said.
"It's about making sure the whole landscape and the communities are sustainable as well."
He doesn't believe using $10 million of unallocated Landcare money will have an impact on Landcare.
"The money for Landcare projects has been significantly enhanced under this government. A lot of money has been quarantined as the Local land Services structure gets up and going."

Post Game TV Recap: HEROES S4E7: "Strange Attractors"
Kicking off NBC's week of Halloween-themed shows, this week's episode of Heroes was promoted all last week on the network with ominous spots showing Sylar cooing, "I'm back in charge now," and almost immediately after this week's episode started, it became evident that those bits of footage weren't as self-explanatory as I'd explained last week. Mostly because, after a three-week hiatus, Matt Parkman reappeared, bringing with him the subconscious Sylar that Nathan/Sylar appears to be missing, despite Samuel's best attempts to bring it out last week.
"Strange Attractors" opens on Parkman and his wife making love. Parkman quickly dissolves into Sylar, and as the camera moves back down we see Parkman sleeping next to his apparently-sleeping wife. For a moment he (and the viewers) can assume it was only a dream sequence—but she quickly looks over to tell him how great it had been last night, and Parkman looks the other way to see the intangible Sylar eating some of Parkman's food and mocking Parkman by way of making a pun to horrible and witless to bear repeating.
Moments later, Jeremy the teenage healer has been taken into custody by Podunk Sheriff #2 (you'll excuse the lack of a name as long as I can excuse the lack of any sincere human characterization), who has decided to lock up Jeremy because the evidence that Noah forged in "Tabula Rasa" to make the deaths of the kid's parents look like an accident wasn't convincing enough for him. Or something. At any rate, the cops aren't going to release him into the custody of the "family friend" who appeared just in time to report the deaths of the victims, even if he's cleared of charges. The sullen kid looks on, continuing to be sullen, and Noah makes a mysterious phone call. In the next shot, Tracy appears in Georgia and is presently convinced to impersonate the kid's aunt (using some fake ID that Noah managed to manufacture, apparently out of thin air) and sign him out of jail.
At the nearby (and fictional) Arlington University, Claire and Gretchen are having their first heart-to-heart conversation since the bizarre, random lesbian kiss that happened a few weeks ago. The pair's conversation is again interrupted (as it was last time) by an invasion of sorority sisters, this time dressed as cartoon ninjas and trying to kidnap the pair for some kind of initiation rite. The insidious sorority leader (who's part of Samuel's carnival family) has a few seconds to chat with Claire before throwing a bag over her head and tossing the pair of girls in a trunk. More suggestive dialogue implies that there might be a future for Claire in a lesbian relationship.
Frankly, this doesn't bode well for the show. It seems that, since Claire as a character has zero history as a lesbian and a string of boyfriends, the "I don't know," "I could be open to it" kinds of responses really mean "We're gradually easing the viewers into a new dynamic for Claire, because the writers appreciate that suddenly dating a girl would be somewhat out of character." And while I have no problem with the notion of Claire as a lesbian on principle (and I'm sure many, many others will), I do have a problem with one of the show's most likable characters getting into a relationship with another person of any gender, where the significant other is irritating and dull, and where there is no discernible sexual chemistry when the two appear onscreen, even when bound together and bouncing in the dark, their lips nearly meeting by serendipity or inertia.
The sorority, apparently totally unaware that two of their new "sisters" are working their way gradually toward a very un-sister-like relationship, arrive at their destination, re-bag the pledges' heads and send them off on a "screaming scavenger hunt," which divides their numbers in half and gives whomever finds the "treasure" at the end amnesty from "Hell Week."
Tracy, meanwhile, finds herself in a room with Jeremy where, despite the lack of any soundproofing or, you know, WALLS that aren't made of glass from floor to ceiling, and despite a guard stationed right outside the door, she proceeds to tell him in explicit terms how Noah forged paperwork to help get him out of jail. Jeremy suggests that maybe he shouldn't be allowed out of jail in the first place, given that he killed his parents. Tracy, who has been pretty standoffish about helping Jeremy so far in spite of the hefty bodycount she's racked up in the last couple of years, just kind of stammers awkwardly and viewers familiar with this season's dynamic can anticipate the scene change even before it comes.
Parkman and Sylar are arguing—I kind of wish that they'd have an "alternate angle" of these scenes that just shows what everyone else sees, with Matt standing around yelling at himself about sleeping with his wife—and while it takes a few minutes to get there, the gist is that Parkman's mad, but Sylar knows that he's not mad about the sex, but mad that Sylar was able to take charge of the body for a while. So cop and killer face down about what will happen to Parkman's wife and son the next time Sylar's able to gain control for a few minutes.
Claire, Gretchen (luckily, they were put on the same team) and a couple of other girls make their way through an old, abandoned slaughterhouse that the sorority has chosen for their scavenger hunt. True to its name, the other two girls titter and scream through the whole thing, although how having all four girls wander the building together and find things at the same time can possibly result in a winning "team" is anyone's guess. While Claire is functionally immortal, and has been through so much over the last few years that it's reasonable she wouldn't be scared by anything a sorority could subject her to, Gretchen's total lack of capacity for fear, perspective or empathy for her terrified classmates is a little off-putting, likely sending viewers back our original "This girl is a little nuts" diagnosis. It's dangerous ground for the writers, as they're likely to get some backlash from special-interest groups if the first homosexual character introduced on a high-profile show turns out to be an unrepentant loon.
While Tracy finally starts to relate to Jeremy, Noah is outside talking to Podunk Sheriff #2, who still refuses to release him into the custody of his "aunt." Podunk Sheriff #5 joins the mix, reading entries about death from Jeremy's oh-so-emo spiral notebook. With a lack of real evidence failing to deter the police from holding Jeremy in custody, Tracy resorts to calling some Washington friends for favors—and her phone call is cut short by Samuel, who tries to sell her on bringing Jeremy to the Carnival when he gets out of jail. Making it appear all around, he explains to her the function of the Carnival (in the truncated, generalized terms that viewers are so used to).
Wandering through the slaughterhouse's killing floor, Gretchen explains the episode title—an abstract physics concept—to Claire and the viewing audience while the invisible carnie-girl follows them around. If the pair end up as a couple, it's almost certain that Samuel and company knowing about Gretchen's sexuality can lead them to understand the relationship and use her as a damsel in distress for Claire to rescue. And that all starts…RIGHT NOW, as the invisible girl tries to nail Gretchen with a flying meathook, but Claire prevents it by tackling her fellow "strange attractor" to the (disgusting, blood-crusted) ground.
Back at the carnival, while Samuel is giving Tracy the hard sell about bringing Jeremy to the Carnival, Nathan/Sylar sees her from a few feet away and starts having Nathan's memories about helping her. This, combined with Tracy's apparent rejection, pushes Samuel out of his usual, affable character and into an irritated debate with Nathan/Sylar about whether or not Nathan's memories are real and, if they're not his, where his mind has gone.
Which is, of course, answered a minute later when Parkman is seen packing a bag. Confronted by his wife, he's forced to explain to her what he did to Sylar (in general enough terms so as not to give Sylar any more specifics than he already has, or something, I don't know). All of this is played for comic effect as Zachary Quinto provides a commentary track for the scene that must have been hard for the other actors in the room to ignore. Kudos to Greg Grunberg and Lisa Lackey (whose real names sound much more like Silver Age comic characters than do their character names, by the way). His wife, who is apparently much smarter than him, argues that she should in fact take the son to an undisclosed location, leaving Matt at their home. In this way, Matt reasons, he won't know where they are and so Sylar shouldn't be able to access the information.
And then came the moment we've been dreading all season: Parkman calls Suresh for help.
A minute later, though, he realizes on his own that apparently alcohol can "hurt" Sylar, who's trapped down inside his subconscious. That promises to be an interesting story beat.
Back in Georgia, Noah is pleased to find out that Tracy's friend has made all the arrangements to have Jeremy released. He's set the boy up with a new identity and a new apartment a few doors down from Noah in his apartment building. Despite visible reservations about the plan (will she defect to the Carnival?), Tracy stands by Noah in front of the boy and suggests that helping him be "invisible" by controlling his powers and changing locales is a good thing.
Claire and Gretchen, realizing that there's a possibility another superhuman is wandering the slaughterhouse looking to gut Gretchen, decide to join their screaming, preening sorority sisters. In exchange for the peace of mind that Claire will get out of protecting everyone, she tells the others they can have the prize when it's found and all she's worried about is everyone getting out safely.
Set upon by an angry townie, Jeremy's power involuntarily takes over and he kills the guy. While Noah urges him to cure the guy, and an angry mob of gun-wielding Podunk Sheriffs and locals mewl around our trio, Jeremy instead lets the man die in the street and turns himself in to the police. Moments after Noah and Tracy are denied entry into his cell to reason with him, though, Podunk Sheriff #5 has literally taken him out back to shoot him, spewing hateful rhetoric as he does so. Having a faceless townie chain Jeremy to the back of a pickup truck, Podunk Sheriff #5 talks a little smack and goads Jeremy into conflict. Showing the fundamental decency that Noah always saw in him, though, the boy chooses to be dragged to death with a smile on his face, as opposed to making his last earthly act the killing of someone who was literally asking for it.
Another ten or twelve shots into the next scene, Parkman thinks he's killed Sylar by downing the last of a bottle. He stands to celebrate, but falls almost immediately—which is conveniently timed so that he can fall into the arms of his wife and his partner from the force, who have come to check on him. Or something.
On the slaughterhouse's killing floor, the pair of bratty sorority sisters decide that really, they didn't want to stay with Claire and Gretchen anyway and wander off. Claire and Gretchen find "the treasure," share a moment where Gretchen admits Claire's life is too insane to be pressuring her into a relationship. A second later, just after Claire says, "I need you" to her unbalanced (girl)friend, another meathook comes floating through space—but this time, instead of eviscerating her, this one's leather strap is bent on strangling Gretchen to death. Claire, sensing that she's dealing with an invisible assailant and not telekinesis, gives and takes a few shots with Sister Becky. She impales Claire, who then slices her face with a meathook and she becomes visible for just long enough that Claire and Gretchen can know she's the villain. When the other girls enter, though, Becky runs like hell (not taking TOO much care not to be invisible in front of the other sorority sisters) and they see Claire hanging from an outcropped wire or hook or whatever it is that's impaled her, attached to the wall.
While the pair are wondering what to do about their friends who have clearly seen too much, Noah and Tracy are off discovering the body of their young charge. This scene was actually a little disconcerting to watch because every shot of Noah, I expected his phone to ring and Claire to be looking for the Haitian. Tracy, traumatized by the incident and fearing that it truly means that people with abilities will never be able to live openly in society, tells Noah never to call her again for one of these "rescue missions." Noah's left to wander the streets while Tracy drives away, virtually guaranteeing that Ali Larter will be playing a villain again when she withdraws one of Samuel's compasses from her purse and seems ready to set off for the Carnival.
Parkman awakes from his alcohol-induced coma to find his wife and partner/sponsor standing above him in the living room. His partner hands him back his discarded rehab token and suggests a do-over, Janice hugs him and all seems right with Parkman's world. Of course, to the surprise of absolutely nobody except Matt Parkman, Sylar was feigning injury, using the alcohol to lull Matt into submission and take over the body. And here's where the "Now I'm in the driver's seat" that NBC has had plastered all over the ads comes from.
Bringing closure to another beat, the hot Georgia sun beats down on a small town where one police car rolls to a stop on a quiet street. Its lone pedestrian, a man in a duster, stops over a smear of Jeremy's blood in the street and watches Podunk Sheriff #5 and the local who helped him kill the boy enter the police station. Of course, the pedestrian is Samuel and moments later the station is reduced to a crumbling pile of rocks, presumably killing the pair and anyone else unlucky enough to be inside of it. I'm still wondering what, if any, connection his tattoo/art powers have to his earthquake/matter manipulation powers, but it's about time we saw a cool, in-story use for the latter.

Monday, April 16, 2012 | 11:56 a.m.
Thoughts from the third of three days on Weekend 1 of this year's SoCal desert music fest:
1. Weather report: perfect, at last. There have been many, many boiling hot Coachella days, and (after Friday) there have been freezing cold Coachella days, but there has rarely been a day at Empire Polo Club as ideal for walking around a giant field listening to music as Sunday. (The Weekend 2 forecast has the high around 100 on Friday and Saturday. Ugh.)
2. Seun Kuti, son of Nigerian Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, provided the perfect accompaniment to the mellow weather—a set of grooving, horn-flecked jams that had bodies at the Outdoor Stage moving like they were in the dance tent.
3. Coolest Sunday stunt (no, it wasn't a hologram—more on that later): Hives frontman Howlin' Pelle Almqvist asking his band's giant main-stage audience to sit, then pop up as one. Neat ending to a memorable overall performance by a group many left for dead years ago.
4. Call it a cash-in tour if you want, just make sure you see the reunited At the Drive-In if you get the chance. The El Paso five-piece absolutely raged in its nighttime main-stage slot, proving that whatever their motives, the members have taken the task of presenting their old music to new (and longtime) fans extremely seriously. Impressive.
5. That hologram ... Okay, so by now you've surely heard that Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg employed a hologram version of Tupac Shakur during their headlining set Sunday night. My take? It was confusing, to say the least (Is that an actor up there? Could Tupac possibly be alive?), but more so, it was disturbing. The dead ought to stay dead, particularly when it comes to performing live. Here's hoping this doesn't open the door for more silliness of this kind. Beatles tour next summer, anyone? Please no.
6. Kudos to Coachella staff and local police for making Weekend 1 so logistically friendly. Having spent hours inching my way out of the parking lots and through the surrounding streets in past years, I'm highly appreciative of the smooth exit plan implemented by the festival this time.
Look in Thursday's print edition of Las Vegas Weekly for Spencer Patterson's full festival account.

As on their CD, the group opened with a real burner Dizzy Gillespie's "Be-Bop," and continued with Lee Morgan's lovely bossa nova "Ceora." From the outset, the group's two strength's were evident--top quality solo work supported by first-class writing. Flutology is fortunate to include two excellent arrangers, Wess and pianist Mike Wofford. They have both produced charts that allow the group to transcend its unusual instrumentation, so much so that Norman Weinstein could write in his review of First Date at AllAboutJazz.com: "This is simply a major mainstream jazz album of 2003 by any standard, and the fact that it showcases flutes makes it that much more singular and breathtaking." This was evident throughout the set, which featured more arrangements from the CD, Hank Mobley's "This I Dig of You," Wess' "Equal Parts" and Bill Cunliffe's "Flutopia," along with some new charts, Thelonius Monk's standard "Straight No Chaser," and Denny Zietlin's "Quiet Now," an especially beautiful arrangement that drew a gorgeous sonority from the front line, with both Hoffman and Ryerson on alto flutes.
Writing is certainly important but a jazz group lives or dies on the strength of its soloists. Flutology's excellence in this department does more than transcend the limitations of the flute--to a large extent it reflects them. As Ryerson likes to point out, the flute is a "beautiful" instrument rather than a "strong" instrument. To be successful as a soloist, a flutist must rely on tonal beauty and melodic inventiveness; there is little scope for honking or squealing. Back in the midst of the avant-garde revolution of the sixties and seventies, in response to a lot of finger-waggling-while-overblowing saxophone solos, Herb Ellis wrote an article in Down Beat magazine called "New Thing Too Jive For Guitar." To the extent this is fair, it applies equally to the flute. There are extended techniques for the instrument, such as the vocalizations popularized by Rahsaan Roland Kirk and Yusef Lateef, and other techniques from contemporary "serious" music. But none of the Flutologists go in for any of this.
Frank Wess, in fact, blazed another trail for the instrument by combining classical training with a flair for improvisation. He was followed by Paul Horn in the sixties and flute legend Hubert Laws in the seventies, and Ryerson and Hoffman are among the leading torch-bearers for the current generation. When he gave up the flute, feeling that the performance standards were too high to allow for doubling, altoist Bud Shank named Holly Hoffman as one of the few performers who might fulfill the potential of the flute in jazz. She continues to justify the faith Shank placed in her with powerful, bluesy, bebop-based lines, as in her feature, her "roommate" (read husband) Wofford's "No Mercy" in which she demonstrated that the flute and the blues scale are by no means strange bedfellows. Hoffman is complemented perfectly by Ryerson's elegant phrasing and burnished tone, especially on the alto flute of which she is probably jazz' leading exponent. She was featured on "Alice in Wonderland" in the later set. Binding the whole sound together with his writing and his Lester-Young-on-the-flute phrasing is the veteran Wess, whose first recorded flute solo was with Count Basie in 1953, several years before Hoffman and Ryerson were born! As Weinstein wrote in his CD review: "I have rarely heard a band with a three musician front line in recent years with as many creative ideas that so seamlessly mesh."
We shouldn't forget the Flutology rhythm section. Quite simply, they supported the soloists perfectly. Wofford is a fine, perhaps slightly underrated soloist in his own right, drummer Victor Lewis provides both drive and shading, and James King, subbing at somewhat short notice for the group's regular bass player, demonstrated that he is the consummate professional, reading the charts, according to Hoffman, "as if he wrote them."
Detractors of the flute maintain that it doesn't work in jazz because the sound is too shrill and the ear gets tired of it. Perhaps, as a flutist myself, I am impervious to this. But judging by the reaction of this evening's audience, which gave both sets standing ovations, I am not alone in my enthusiasm for Flutology. We await their next recording with impatience.

A campaign of 75 revenue flights by Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air using a biofuel blend, which begins tomorrow with flights from Seattle to Washington and Portland, is intended to show fuel producers there is demand for alternatives, the carrier says (Aviation Daily, Nov. 8).
"Biofuel production is not at a scale to make it price-competitive [with conventional jet fuel], but we believe it is important to highlight our interest–to show the biofuel industry there is demand," says Megan Lawrence, Alaska's managing director of government and community relations.
The Seattle flights, using a 20% blend of biofuel derived from waste cooking oil, and a Nov. 7 Houston-Chicago United Airlines flight using a 40% blend of biofuel from algal oil, come at a critical stage of negotiations among feedstock providers, fuel producers and private investors to scale up bio-jet production to commercial quantities.
Alaska plans 11 Seattle-Washington biofuel flights with a Boeing 737 and three daily Seattle-Portland roundtrips—a total of 64 flights—with a Bombardier Q400 turboprop. "Demonstrating transcontinental with the 737 was a no-brainer, but we also wanted to show short-haul with the Q400 on a route where there is a lot of competition from vehicles," says Lawrence.
While other airlines have used blends as high a 50% biofuel, Alaska was limited to 20% by the price and availability of fuel, Lawrence says. Using the 20% biofuel blend on 75 flights will result in a reduction in CO2 emissions of 10% over conventional jet fuel, she says. "Using a 20% blend in all our flights for a year would be equivalent to taking 64,000 cars off the road." While Alaska highlights the environmental benefits, its main interest is in biofuel as a way to put competitive pressure on the cost of conventional jet fuel. "We view biofuel as an alternative that can help with fuel price volatility," Lawrence says. "Competitive pricing is important, as fuel is our single largest cost."
To source the biofuel for the flight campaign, Alaska worked with SkyNRG, a company formed by European partners, including Air France/KLM, to accelerate development of a market for sustainable jet fuel.
The fuel supplied to Alaska was produced in Louisiana by Dynamic Fuels, a joint venture of Tyson Foods and Syntroleum. Amsterdam-based SkyNRG also supplied biofuel from cooking oil to KLM, Finnair and Thomson Airways for use in revenue flights.

P. G. Suh
Pann-Ghill Suh, DVM & PhD Department of Life Science Pohang University of Science and Technology, Pohang, South Korea Dr. Pann-Ghill Suh joined the Department of Life Science of Pohang University of Science and Technology(POSTECH) as an Assistant Professor in 1989, right after his post-doctoral training for four years at NIH, U.S.A. He obtained his Ph.D. at the Seoul National University (SNU) Medical School in 1986, after his DVM degree at SNU in 1980. He served as Dean of Research Affairs of POSTECH and is now a full professor as national scholar and Director of National Research Laboratory for Cellular Signaling Network. Dr. Suh focuses his research efforts on understanding the entity and the basic principle, of phospholipids-mediated signaling networks, and their patho- physiological roles in human body. For the first time, Dr. Suh, in collaboration with his colleague Dr. Ryu, discovered multiple isoforms of phospholipase C in brain tissue and cloned these cDNAs during his post-doctoral fellowship in NIH, USA. Over the last decade, he has achieved considerable understanding of the mechanisms by which signals are conveyed from receptors at the plasma membrane to specific phospholipase C isoforms and of their significance in many cellular physiological responses. Recently, Dr. Suh has expanded his research into new BIT research programs aiming to identify novel ligands for GPCRs by means of knowledge integration with computer science. "Work on the molecular dissection and functional significance of protein-protein interactions in signal transduction is a primary focus of our lab." explains Dr. Suh.

I have a sample from VariaTEA. :)
So about an hour ago I decided to brew up some more tea, only I accidentally splashed water on my regular timer and killed it dead (boo). I decided to try the timer in the Steepster app, only it failed horribly. I'm not sure if it's my phone or the app, but the timer didn't go off and then when I remembered about the tea and went to finish logging it, the timer said -58:00 and then the app re-loaded to the search screen. IDK why my phone is doing this, but it is CONSTANTLY RELOADING and it's making me MAD.
Anyways. I strained the tea thinking it'd be horrible, but it's not! It's totally drinkable, only a little bitter. Tastes like I've put loads of sugar in it – all sweet sugar fluff dissolving on my tongue. How is this possible? That's amazing!
Thankfully I have a couple more cups of this to try, but it's good to know that so far I like it!

Carl Froch has insisted that he is fully focused on his personal challenge against Andre Ward, and is not concentrating on reviving hope in British boxing.
It has been a disappointing month for Brits following Amir Khan's controversial defeat to Lamont Peterson and John Murray relinquishing his WBA lightweight bout with Brandon Rios.
"There tends to be a little bit of an emphasis and pressure on me restoring the pride in British boxing but that's all part and parcel of it," said Froch. "I'm the last man standing in this tournament and I suppose I'm the last man standing this year in terms of fighting overseas.
"I'm not looking at what everyone else has done wrong and how they've all lost or thinking I can steal the limelight because of what Murray's done or what Amir Khan did at the weekend.
"I'm just concentrating on what I'm doing. None of that matters to me. It's a shame for British boxing that all these other fighters have lost but it's an individual sport."
The 34-year-old could lose his WBC super-middleweight title to unbeaten American Ward when they face off in Atlantic City tomorrow.

Bob Marley, Derrick Harriott (on Bob's day!), Lester Sterling, Arthur Lyman (the inspiration for a few choice Skatalites covers for Top Deck) and Hal Blaine, who gave us a percussive psych instrumental for every month of the year.

January 22, 2010 : – – After a bit of shifting due to a high surf Hawaiian winter, Shane Dorian will host his Keiki Surf Classic at Banyan's on the Kona side of the Big Island this Sunday, February 24th, 2010. The low-key, down-home style event raises food for charity and provides a free entry for all the local kids to participate in a prestigious competition that is fun for the whole family.
"A lot of the contests these days are expensive for a local amateur," says Dorian who covers the costs with his own funds and sponsors like Billabong. "It's great to have top surfers come and surf with the kids and give them a chance to raise their experience level without breaking their pocketbooks."
The one day event is held annually in January, and is limited to the first 50 entries taken. The two age categories are U13 (for kids under thirteen) and U17 (kids from fourteen to seventeen.) Shane has become one of the most respected all-round surfers in history and the Keiki Classic is testimony to the quality of his talent and the generosity of his character.
