STUDENTS considering a career in uniformed service have been learning more about fire-fighting.
A group of Uniformed and Public Services students from Northumberland College took a trip to Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service's headquarters near Cramlington to find out first-hand about its work.
They learnt about the different types of incidents attended by firefighters, such as search and rescue operations and road traffic collisions, and took part in practical activities, including the safe use of hoses and pumps and cutting up an old car using hydraulic tools.
Chief Fire Officer Alex Bennett said: "We are delighted that our ongoing partnership with the college is delivering real benefits to students as they learn more about the emergency services. As part of the county council, we recognise the value of investing in our young people as they develop their skills and can also spread the safety message on our behalf."
The service was a sponsor of the college's recent awards' ceremony at Kirkley Hall, where prizes included £50 for Student of the Year Sarah Higgins, and £25 for Highly Commended student Jade Bridges.
College Principal Stuart Cutforth said: "We are thrilled to be working so closely with Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service and are pleased to welcome it on board as sponsor of our annual student awards' ceremony.
"The recent training was a fantastic opportunity for our Uniformed and Public Services students to gain invaluable experience and insight into their future careers."

A Southampton University professor is calling for an overhaul of the nursing education system and "tough" new policy measures to close the gap between what is taught in class and what is needed in practice.
Dame Jill Macleod Clark, the head of the university's school of nursing and midwifery, said the gap between education and practice that was identified 30 years ago still remained, despite "considerable efforts" by the profession to bring about change.
Writing in the latest edition of the Journal of Advanced Nursing, she said the basic problems identified in a 1976 paper written by the then registrar of the General Nursing Council for England and Wales, Eve Bendall, continued to cause concern.
Dr Bendall's paper, reprinted in the 30th anniversary edition of the journal, warned there was a danger of producing nurses who were "increasingly proficient on paper and decreasingly proficient in practice".
She had looked at the behaviour of 321 student nurses from 19 hospitals, examining 22 real-life situations. Dr Bendall compared students' written descriptions of what they should do with what they actually did. She found the two differed in 84 cases and concluded that nurses did not follow what they had been taught when faced with the reality of a hospital ward.
Dr Bendall told the latest edition of journal that she suspected similar conclusions would be reached today if the same research was carried out.
The professor, who is also the chairman of the Council of Deans and Heads of UK Faculties for Nursing and Health Professions, said nursing education was in need of an overhaul.
"We also need sufficient funding to resource and radically modernise the practice learning requirements and outcomes of nursing students in the 21st century," she said.
"As a profession we should be deeply concerned, indeed embarrassed, that the problems identified by Eve Bendall 30 years ago still persist in today's nurse education system, in spite of everyone's beset efforts to change."
The professor admitted that until "fundamental issues of an overstretched nursing workforce" were resolved, the gap between theory and sound practice would remain.
Last year, the Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) called for wholesale reform of the way medical education was funded.
Money for educating doctors, nurses and dentists is currently sourced from the NHS and the higher education funding councils. Universities and hospitals share resources, which has allowed some higher education institutions to secure more money from regional NHS bodies than others, said the thinktank.
Hepi estimated that funding for nursing and paramedical education in 2002-03 amounted to around £1bn, with £28,600 available per student, compared with medical and dentistry departments, which received £2.1bn, amounting to more than £230,000 per student.

Yet the report caused an uproar. The recommendation that 12 of the allergens, including eugenol, citral (from lemon and tangerine oils) and coumarin (from tonka beans and apricots) be limited to .01 per cent of a finished product would render them useless as components, charges a spokesman for the perfume industry. "Almost all of those materials are naturally derived substances," says Stephen Weller of the International Fragrance Association. "You could put them into a product at 100 parts per million, but that is no good for smelling."
The real backlash – the one that made perfume company representatives practically swoon in horror – was reserved for the outright ban proposed for HICC, tree moss and oak moss, which White says have all started to cause more allergies. HICC is widely used in soaps, eau de toilettes, aftershaves and deodorants, and is the chemical most frequently linked to fragrance allergies – with 1.5 percent of the European population now allergic to it.
The tree and oak mosses, derived from lichen, are ingredients that give classics such as Chanel No. 5, Miss Dior and Mitsouko by Guerlain their distinctive, long-lasting woodsy notes. There were cries that if the recommendation to ban the three components becomes law, it will be the end of perfume as we know it.
The proposed ban is a threat to Europe's "olfactory cultural heritage," warned a spokesperson for LVMH, the luxury goods empire that produces scents including Miss Dior and Mitsouko. Sylvie Jourdet of the French perfumers' society told British Vogue that "Chanel No. 5 has never done any harm to anyone. It is the death of perfume if this continues."
White, the straight-talking dermatologist, has heard the outcry, but stands firm that health comes first. "We estimate that 1 to 3 per cent of Europeans have fragrance allergies," he said from his office at the St. John's Institute of Dermatology.
"That doesn't mean their hands get a bit chapped or they get a spot of rash behind an ear after dabbing on a drop of $100 perfume. These kinds of allergies affect quality of life. People quit their jobs. They lose their livelihoods. They can't sleep. It's a public health issue, nothing less," he says.
The EU parliament is considering whether to update the current legislation – and the debate is shaping up to be a battle between the world of medicine and one where tradition, scent and profit intertwine to the tune of $25 billion a year worldwide, including the $9.5 billion American market for fragrance, cosmetics and skin care.
The companies have since gone silent, letting the IFRA's Weller respond in more measured tones. Perhaps the companies will end up having to highlight a product's allergens on labels more clearly, he says. Or maybe, in a world where most consumers have smartphones, they'll develop apps that have ingredient information easily available at the touch of a finger.
"Yes, if these recommendations are implemented as is, a lot of iconic brands would have to be reformulated. In the end, there's always compromise, we are hoping for proportionate measures," he says. White, who has completed his term as chairman of the scientific committee, believes the recommendation should stand as is – and says that if history is any guide, the perfume companies will simply use the considerable funds at their disposal to find new ingredients.
"It's not as if they haven't done that before," he says. "Fragrances are like fashion and fashions come and go. They change. They evolve." Besides, when the health of the consumer is at stake, he doesn't think there should be an argument, period.
"The safety of the people should be the highest law," he said. "The quote is from Cicero – and I once used it while being questioned by politicians in the European Parliament. All of a sudden, the room went quiet. No one had a response."
Back in Chicago, Beckinsale has mostly had to teach herself how to deal with her allergy issues. "Regulations and labeling like they have over in Europe would totally change my world," she says wistfully.
She would still have to take precautions about her other skin triggers, such as nickel, but to browse pharmacy shelves of shampoos and the beauty departments of the big department stores without fearing for her health would be liberating.
If the even stricter European regulations go through, that could even open the door to her finding a famous brand safe scent, which still seems an impossible dream.
"I'd be able to go out on a date with my boyfriend and wear a little perfume without having to worry," she says, excited just considering the prospect. "Being able to smell good? How wonderful would that be?"

Map of Construction Zone speakers space
Construction Zone speakers space
158 S. Seventh St., Las Vegas
So a choreographer, serial entrepreneur, nuclear scientist, food engineer, futurist, cancer-detector inventor, multisense designer and violinist all got together one day.
And the punchline?
There isn't one. This is actually happening and you can watch it all via livestream video in the downtown Construction Zone speakers space, 158 S. Seventh St., through Friday.
It's all part of the TED conferences, which bring together the world's foremost speakers in the areas of technology, entertainment and design. The conferences take place twice a year, on the North American West Coast and in Edinburgh, Scotland
Downtown Project paid $2,500 to purchase a license to broadcast TED talks, currently under way in Long Beach, Calif. Tickets to attend the TED conference live cost $7,500. Anyone interested can see the talks for free downtown.
What are TED talks?
They are 18-minute presentations on subjects that run the gamut of humanity, science, religion, art and everything in between. Two talks Tuesday, for instance, dealt with the questions of the value of smartphone "apps" and other Web-related content versus inventions such as indoor plumbing.
Then the presenters of those opposing views had a mini-debate.
For times and a complete list of speakers go to downtownspeakers.com.
Joe Schoenmann doesn't just cover downtown, he lives and works there. Schoenmann is Greenspun Media Group's embedded downtown journalist, working from an office in the Emergency Arts building.

It is great to see public officials are bringing the removal of graffiti to public eyes ("Gennaro gets hands on in war against graffiti," Fresh Meadows Times, Oct. 1).
If all Council members took on this obligation and committed themselves to an ongoing program, together with voluntary civic associations and Citizens Against Graffiti Everywhere our city's graffiti plague would disappear in a matter of months.
Bay Terrace is a community that has zero-tolerance for graffiti and a dedicated group of volunteers within the Bay Terrace Community Alliance who rid our neighborhood of this eyesore with the help of CAGE on an ongoing basis.

How much? for a yet nuther unit using old chip ckts...with it's RAZOR SHARP machining!!! Homie don't want no cuts from poorly finished products....how many THOUSANDS and teh edges are razor sharp, that comes from cheap stamped processes to make stuff, cheap stuff. Godo maching well finished has smooth finished edges, i bet this is just another grossly overpriced stamped consumer product hyped into the stratosphere. A friggin top loader, come on the world's first Philips unit i got was a top loader, I shoulda' kept it from over 20 years ago and sold it as aCLASSIC on E-Bay, now overpriced players revert back to the very user unfriendly top loading method, just a way to add useless features to a very overpriced product. Yeah, and that's without hearing it, I thought EMMLABS has teh best there is, and it's only $10K and it plays SACD/CD and does that artificly UPSAMPLING to 2X DSD rates, that means it has modern chips, and ckts, not something from teh 90's. Ever wonder why chips are stopped being made, or certain transistors like teh original Hitachi MOSFETS used in Hafler, whcih are no longer made (Hafler being teh FIRST to use MOSFETS in audio amps) now are replaced with BETTER, FASTER, CHEAPER Exicon. Chips are obsolete, now the new markeing scam is to use old designs and claim they really where better...BS. Even teh great Haflers are updated to 21st century SS devices and make them better than ever...and you know who does that. Naim, $28K Cd only player, top loading one disc player!!! What a deal....Come on And it don't even give you digital output....Oh, Their's don't need that, like any other player does.And once again, in the effort to push wire sales, the Tara vacuum, not really vacuum Zero, is what made all teh difference, how come Naim doesn't ship the CD player with that magic wire if it made such a difference, teh mfg doesn't know about teh magic of this wire? Ony a mag reviewer? Maybe not using a Shunyatatatatatatata AC cord could have made teh ZERO not needed or the use of a ZERO with a Shynyatatatatatam, switched to a JPS AC, back to a Non snake cable, with a Audiodharma Cable Cooker (set too hot maybe?) Oh no MF used the Oyaide AC wall jack what da' heck is dat? Why would he need a Shunyata RESEARCH? V-Ray Reference? Reference to what? What the heck is all this stuff anyway And 4 different LP cleaning machines? I thought this was a Cd player? And what, no Furutech DEMAGNETIZATION, then this review is bogus, is there no sanity, no DEMAG no peace
You are here
Do you read this magazine to hate it?
When I see the highly respected Mr. Dudley trade in his Naim or Sony unit for the new one I might buy into a $28K cd player. But, DUP is right, buy the EMM Labs unit and get over it.
I doubt that we will find Ayre C5-XE or DCS P8I owners jumping off the roof either.
Stereophile is great, entertaining I read it every month cover to cover. Some of the stuff is so absurd, I can't NOT read it. I've read subscribed to StereoPhile back when Gordon Holt was praising Dynaco PAT-4...then the updated PAT-5 biFET. Back then their was a lot of reality based stuff, he loved Audio Research stuff, at the same time also heard the genius of Dynaco and Hafler stuff, I think even checked out some AVA. AR TT's priced at $69 And they were musical and worked forever. I didn't get rid of my AR-XB for over 25 years.Current StereoPhile seems to ignore a lot of stuff that has a more realistic approach to great sound reproduction, priced for mortals, and delievering great sound. The extreme fringe of $100,000 TT's $45K CD only players are actually comical, and highly entertaining, how writers like MF just lay on the praise, make it seem like the sound is so much better than anything ever made before....when in reality, it's pure BS. I still say MF couldn't tell which CD/SACD player was playing between a good Philips EMMLABS, Onkyo, Marantz etc, priced in the few thousands,(or even a Philips for a few hundred!) versus his absurd Zander types, or whatever else in previous issues that had goofy shapes and extreme prices. Let alone knowing if his demagnetized LP was played on a sorta mortal priced VPI MKII or MKIV with a JMW arm or his RockPort or continum..and just a few years ago the TT they use in the Library of Congress was the ULTIMATE...man, he drops ultimates, at the drop of the next higher priced TT. Or some of teh absurd phono pre amp components going for tens of thousands of dollars, one ultimate replacing next months ultimate. Without JA doing reality based measurements and observations, MF and his type would be out of control!!!! Like they ain't now? Nothing like a battery powered phone stage for tens of thousands of dollars!!! How does the phone ckt know or care where it gets it DC supplies. Like power supplies haven't been perfected for low noise, etc...I'm sure someone will have audio grade BATTERIES too. around acolades each month like everything is the next breakthrough, it's ENTERTAINING....can't get enough of it

Flyers Energy, LLC was formed in 1979 by four brothers: Tom, Walt, Steve, and David Dwelle. Their grandfather, Walter B. Allen, founded Beacon Oil Company in 1931, providing a legacy the Dwelle brothers would carry on with their purchase of seven gas stations in the greater Sacramento region. Naming the company Nella in honor of their grandfather (Allen spelled backwards), they have since created a forward-moving company with a strong, dynamic culture.
In 2011, Nella Oil Company changed its name to Flyers Energy, LLC to align with the recognizable Flyers brand, as well as reflect its expansion into alternative energy sectors.

Mario Hoops 3-on-3 - NDS - Preview
E3 2006 First Look Preview
When Mario jumped on the court and showed off his talent in the GameCube version of NBA Street V3, many wondered if this was Mario's first step into the realm of sports games. Then he appeared in the latest SSX, kicking as much butt on the slopes as he does in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Six months later and E3 2006 has come. Nintendo confirmed what many had been hoping for: Mario would star in his own basketball game – Mario Hoops 3 On 3. Join Mario, Peach, Wario, Bowser, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Diddy Kong, Yoshi, Waluigi, Shy Guy and Birdo for a b-ball experience on par with his other sports adventures.
Mario Hoops looks great with plenty of cool court environments and at least a couple of special moves inspired by the Mario universe.
Following the trend set by The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Mario Hoops throws traditional D-pad controls off the court in favor of the touch screen and stylus combo. Light touching, dragging, and consecutive tapping influence the way that Mario and co. function. Tapping adjusts the speed of the ballers, while dragging the stylus moves the character along the court. Furthermore, players may execute special passes, super shots, complex dribbles and other fancy moves by manipulating the screen with the stylus. It's a match made in hoops Heaven.
Three characters are allowed on each team (hence the subtitle, "3 On 3"). As expected, power-ups are going to be a part of the Mushroom Kingdom-inspired courts. Red shells and Bob-ombs (and who knows what else) will give the players who have them the edge. Meanwhile, the team that's on the receiving end of these power-ups will be dealt a blast they won't soon forget.
The Nintendo DS has been a great source of graphical pleasure this year, and Mario Hoops is no exception. The effects, animations, and solid flow of the game have that classic Mario Bros. feel. It's an impressive title to watch that had many people lining up behind it to take a peak. Do I even have to question how great it will play? Doubtful. Look at the track record: Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, and Super Mario Strikers. I'm ready to add Mario Hoops to that list.

I still can't get over the fact that The Rock is playing a character with a teenage son in "Snitch". It just feels … weird somehow. He's actually old enough that this could very well be true in real life, but still, in the movies it kinda feels wrong for some reason.
Anyways, here's a new trailer for "Snitch", in which The Rock takes on some bad guys in order to free his son from prison. Personally I think the better movie might be if The Rock busted his son out of prison. Or went undercover in the prison to protect him. You know, sort of like a big-screen version of "Prison Break". Maybe they'll go in that direction for the sequel…
Dwayne Johnson stars as John Matthews, a businessman hit hard when his teenage son is wrongfully ensnared in a drug bust and threatened with a terrifying 10-30 years in federal prison (under the US government's draconian minimum drug sentencing laws). The only option to reduce the sentence is to "snitch." A desperate Matthews makes a deal with the politically ambitious federal prosecutor (Sarandon) and infiltrates the operation of a violent drug dealer (Williams). When his amateur undercover work unexpectedly exposes a major player in the Mexican drug trade (Bratt), the rules suddenly change and an already dangerous venture turns decidedly deadly.
Also starring Nadine Velazquez, Jon Bernthal, Susan Sarandon, JD Pardo, Harold Perrineau, Barry Pepper, Michael Kenneth Williams, Benjamin Bratt, James Allen McCune, Melina Kanakaredes, and directed by Ric Roman Waugh.
The Rock be snitchin' February 22, 2013.

DUI arrests reported
State police at Lehighton reported on several driving under the influence (DUI) arrests made by troopers over the past weekend.
Troopers said about 7:09 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 28, they responded to a crash along SR248 in Bowmanstown. Troopers said Heath C. Bullard, 40, of Lehighton, was driving a 2008 Mazda westbound when the vehicle left the roadway and struck the rear passenger side of a Ford F550 truck with the front driver side of the Mazda. The Ford was parked and operarted by Craig A. Johnson, 50, of Reading.
No one was injured. Troopers indicated Bullard is facing a DUI count and a charge of driving on roadways laned for traffic.

So it has been a long time since I have used my Wii, so the question is How do I make burned backups run directly through the disc channel without needing any launcher or rebooting, just plain and simple. :D
My Wii is a korean, region-changed 4.1U. Softmodded with homebrew channel installed that was installed on 3.2U. I don't remember if I have CiosCORP installed or not.

Photographer's Note
Antigua, Guatemala is a charming small city to the southwest of Guatemala City. All of the city maintains the style and flavor of "Old Guatemala", with colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, etc. In that regard, it reminds me very much of Taxco, in south central Mexico.

As the Obama administration awaited an official response from Iran as to whether it would abide by a draft plan concerning uranium enrichment, two Pennsylvania lawmakers highlighted efforts on Capitol Hill and in Harrisburg to enact deeper sanctions against the Iranian regime.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) and State Rep. Josh Shapiro (D-District 153) touted those efforts during an Oct. 26 news conference held at the Jewish Community Services Building in Philadelphia. Casey and U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) introduced the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act, which would authorize state and local governments — and their pension funds — to divest from companies doing business with Iran's energy sector.
The bill passed the House of Representatives on Oct. 14, and is now in the hands of the Senate Banking Committee.
Casey has also co-sponsored a Senate version of the Iran Refined Sanctions Petroleum Act, which would allow the president to impose sanctions on companies that help Iran import or produce refined petroleum (Iran imports 40 percent of its refined petroleum). That bill was slated for debate in the House this week.
Since 2007, Shapiro has advocated that Pennsylvania divest its pension funds from investing in foreign-owned companies that do business with Iran.
His Terror Free Investment act passed the House in 2008, but died in the Senate as the economy went into a tailspin. He's now working on getting more support in the Senate this time around.
A number of Casey supporters and influential Jewish Democrats attended the session. While no Republican lawmakers were there, both Casey and Shapiro stressed that their bills have bipartisan support.
A Jolt of Momentum
Since the revelation that Iran had a secret nuclear facility, sanctions legislation has gotten a jolt of momentum.
Last month, more than 300 Jewish leaders converged in Washington to lobby Congress.
Much appears to depend on Iran's next move.
The draft agreement would require Iran to transfer about 80 percent of its uranium to Russia for additional enrichment, then send it to France to be made into fuel rods for cancer treatment.
Joseph Smukler, a Center City attorney who introduced Shapiro at the event, said that he's worried that, in terms of sanctions, the United States may be stalling and giving Iran time.
He also noted that Iran's cooperation would certainly hamper support for new sanctions, but "if they turn it down, it's a different ballgame."

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Constantly fighting with your partner over the same thing? It might be worth hanging onto the relationship, with a recent survey finding couples argue less, and get better at resolving differences, with time.
The online survey, by New Zealand counselling firm Relationship Services, polled more than 1,500 couples in long-term relationships and found that 78 percent were having ongoing disagreements.
But the survey showed that people get better at handling disagreements, with those in relationships for three to seven years reporting a higher level of recurring disagreements than those in relationships lasting 21 years and more.
"People in longer relationships may have sorted out many of their differences, but it was also clear that they handle disagreements in ways that better support the relationship," said Hilary Smith of Relationship Services on the company's website.
"For a quarter of people, disagreements and how they dealt with them actually had a positive impact on how they felt about the relationship and their partner," Smith said.
The survey listed the money and financial security as the issue couples argue about most -- four out of ten people, regardless of income levels.
Parenting and childcare caused 35 percent of disputes, the survey said, and added strain to a relationship, with 86 percent of people who have children at home saying they have recurring disagreements, compared with 68 percent for those without kids.
Other common causes of disagreement are work pressures (31 percent), time pressures (29 percent), housework (26 percent) and sex (25 percent).
They survey also found that during arguments, men perceive women to nag them when they are talking, while more women complain that their partners do not listen.
"When counsellors hear the phrases 'nagging' or 'not listening', we know there is a communication issue in the relationship to work on," Smith said.
The survey, titled "Dealing with Disagreements", was conducted this year.

GBP/USD (a 4-hour chart)
UK GDP increased by 0.3% in the Ist quarter of 2013 compared to the IV quarter of 2012. These data were published by the country's National Bureau of Statistics on Thursday. The economists predicted just such a growth rate. In annual terms, the UK's GDP grew by 0.6% according to the final data which also coincided with the analysts' forecasts and the preliminary data.
The growth of the British economy in a I quarter of 2013 was due to increased activity in the services sector (the UK service sector usually makes a significant contribution to the evolution of GDP) and the oil and gas a quarrying recovery in the North Sea.
At the same time, consumption spending grew in the first three months of 2013with the slowest pace since the III quarter of 2011., rising just 0.1% qoq. Despite this, consumption spending have made a considerable contribution to GDP dynamics in the I quarter of 2013., which also contributed to the increase in inventory.
UK GDP is growing slowly, but against their European counterparts - France and Germany, it looks brilliant.

This is the worse company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. I have asked several questions about a holiday I booked and the day before we travelled I received a card saying my queries will be dealy with in due time! They were not!!
Is the holiday suitable for those with walking aids??? Apparently yes then they were given a hotel with 7 steps to front door and no ramp. Overnight hotel given room on first floor with no lift!!
Food was like school dinners, hotel manager didn't care either and the only saing grace was the lovely coach driver.
Money is the overriding concern for this company, not its travellers!!

During a recent phone call with the excellent Elise of simplyrecipes, Elise wished aloud that I would address the nitrite issue directly. "Trader Joe's carries it! Go look. Is there one near you?" Indeed there is, and indeed they sell at least two products pitching themselves as a "healthier" bacon because they don't add sodium nitrite. This is as odious as those sugar laden granola bars trumpeting "No Fat!" on their label—food marketers preying on a confused consumer who has been taught to fear food because of harmful additives (such as the recent, apparently genuine, Red Dye 40 warnings). Full disclosure if you don't already know: I am a vocal bacon advocate, and one of my books, Charcuterie, relies on sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate for many of its recipes to cure foods such as Read On »

This is the last of the whiteonricecouple's video we did at the end of the BlogHer conference in San Francisco last fall. They were off the cuff experimental food and cooking editorials, and this one came on the tail of my linking Richard Wrangham's contention that it was the cooking of food that gave us the calories we needed to make the leap from hominid to human and what it might have to say about our current state, having largely given up cooking in America for the past 60 years (that's video here). This video has nothing to do with food, but it does have something to do with awareness, and that has everything to do with the kitchen.

When I'm planning a meal or going to the grocery store, I always check the USDA food pyramid to make sure my list is on track and ensure that I have a healthy lifestyle. Don't you? The USDA released Dietary Guidelines last week and while they're more sensible than in years past, I honestly wonder, do they really do any good? Is it more helpful to suggest that people reduce sodium than to suggest they reduce the amount of processed food they eat—which would help on numerous levels, not just the salt issue. My belief about salt, this very essential rock we eat, is that if you don't eat processed food, and are otherwise healthy, your body will automatically regulate the salt you desire. I don't worry over salt. Remember when we were told that Read On »
I've heard so many chefs say they look for cooks with "passion," I just kind of accepted it without thinking. But I've long since stopped listening to this. What does passion mean? That you love to cook? That you work really hard? I have no idea, which is why I try not to use the word. Thomas Keller agrees. Speaking about this issue a while ago, he wanted people to use the word desire. But I think there's an even better word, one that describes Keller's extraordinary success in the kitchen, and it's a quality that will lead to success in any area of life.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'After Hours Lounge (Off Topic)' started by Empirefan70, Dec 7, 2009.
updating new information
The only "issue" is that you're using downrezzed youtube videos on a computer monitor (has your monitor been calibrated?) to assess the quality of Blu-ray discs. It's impossible to take you seriously.
Huh? If I understand the OP correctly (which I don't, but I think I understand enough), then this is a thread for anyplace on HTF except After Hours.
What -- you think someone moved it here? This is where the OP placed it. Like you said, understanding the OP isn't easy, which makes choosing an alternate location a less than straightforward task. When in doubt, I prefer to think about it. Maybe one of my colleagues will have a better idea.
Updating new information coming soon
No I don't think someone moved it here. I was saying to the OP that although I don't know what the heck he's talking about, I feel I understood enough to say he posted in the wrong area.
And by the wrong area you mean, "Earth", right?
I've read, or tried to, the thread on the other forum. So far Ashley hasn't managed to post a single coherent message about any of this and the screen caps and YouTube videos are, of course, worse than useless. This mysterious "green smear" doesn't exist as far as I can tell. I've been an HT enthusiast for more years than I care to admit and I've never seen anything like it on any of the thousands of VHS tapes, laserdiscs, DVDs and Blu Ray discs I've seen - on a total 7 or 8 monitors and through 5 AVRs.
The fact the Ashley keeps comparing DVD and Blu Ray to VHS and laserdisc tells me that an ability to discern image quality is not one of his (her?) gifts. If the problem isn't with the OP's equipment it is with his eyes, or possibly with the aparatus behind them. When everyone on two forums tells you you're wrong, it is time to consider the possibility that you are, in fact, wrong. And stop blaming those who have done you the courtesy of trying to battle their way through your wretched prose to understand and help you.
I have the "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" BD and I have never noticed any "green smearing" during any of the times that I watched it. In fact, it is a very good transfer that reproduces the look of the film quite well. Your message gets lost when you start comparing youtube videos, old laserdisc transfers, and DVD transfers to Blu-ray discs. Furthermore, you do not reveal what kind of equipment you are using or whether it has been properly calibrated. For all we know your "green smear" could be a display issue due to lack of calibration.
What do you want to bet his monitor is a CRT with the green gun out of alignment? Hence everything he sees has a green fringe.
Oh wait nevermind, I went to his other thread, and he's just complaining about how some films are leaning too much in the green direction when they're mastered for home video.
He's confusing the issue by inventing the term "green smear" when all he means is he'd prefer less of a green cast. He sees it mostly where blue shifts towards aqua-blue... and chances are (given how much ranting he's done) that on his particular monitor, aqua-blue is coming across as more green than it should, making it more problematic for him than for anyone else.
Hey, EmpireFan, take a breath, and then adjust the color settings of your monitor. It doesn't take much to shift green towards blue, where you will be happy. They colors are extremely close on the spectrum, so just a nudge away from green and towards blue will fix your problem. You should also check to make sure you don't have your saturation set too high, or it may be making very bright blues slide into green as well.
I think the green smear he's talking about is the old green magic marker trick on the sides of CD that helped keep the laser inside the cd so the sound was better. Either that, or he's talking about green cream cheese on a bagel.
Ashley actually does provide an equipment list (of sorts) in the other thread. The post is here.
It mostly consists of a ton of antiquated DVD and LD players, plus at least one CRT TV and a front projection system that sounds like it is hooked-up with using the RGB input. It is very hard to tell, given Ashley's continuing struggle with the English language, but I'm not even sure any of the monitors is HD, much less properly connected or calibrated. Yes, I can well imagine a Blu Ray player outputing via an s-video cable to a PAL resolution CRT monitor looking like absolute crap. But that's hardly an indictment of the format.
Ashley needs to list make, model and connection type for every piece of equipment (a simple list, the less "written" the better and please, no attempts at "description") in this setup. Then we can try to figure out that this "problem" is supposed to be. In the meantime, Ashley can go on calling us "green smear deniers". Regards, Joe
updating new information...
updating new information coming soon...
I'm not the only one who has no clue what this thread about, right?
Green smearing is very real! Bluray is a losing format.
No, Travis. You are definitely not the only one.
Is this the appropriate thread in which one can discuss Star Trek?
No, it is not. As noted above, this thread is for the green magic marker trick. Or perhaps green cream cheese and bagels? Maybe green eggs and ham?

UAE investments to help Armenia economy reveal its potential- deputy minister
YEREVAN, June 3. / ARKA /. Investments from the UAE to Armenia will help disclose the latter's economic potential, a deputy economy minister Tigran Harutyunyan said today after commerce and industry chambers of the two countries signed a cooperation agreement in Yerevan.
He quoted prime minister Hovik Abrahamyan as saying earlier during the meeting with UAE business delegation that his government is ready to support foreign investors in Armenia. According to the deputy minister, this guarantee significantly reduces any potential investment risks.
He argued that Armenia's 37th position on the World Bank's Doing Business rating is a good condition for the agreement signed today to become a basis for subsequent joint projects.
He also recalled that the two countries had signed an agreement on investment protection. 'Given this it is necessary to make every effort to direct investments from the UAE to the disclosure of the economic potential of Armenia ," said Harutyunyan.
The trade turnover between Armenia and the United Arab Emirates in 2013 amounted to $77.7 million. Armenian exports totaled $9.4 million. -0-

A forest tour in Nykøbing F. - Sønder Kohave 3.8 km
See the route on Google Maps
Sønder Kohave (1) the nearest forest to Nykøbing Falster is located one short kilometre from the Town Hall. In the old days, cows used to graze here and it was once the site of a well-visited dancing pavilion, but now it is a natural landscape for joggers and keep-fit enthusiasts.
You take Vesterskovvej and Østre Allé. Just after the entrance to the Zoo turn left towards the Folkedanserhuset (folk dancing hall), where there is a car park. The Danish Heart Association has marked a route that starts at the little bridge and is signposted anticlockwise.
It is a delightful nature walk amongst a wide variety of tree species, which include some old oak trees that are around 200 years old. If you stay at the hostel or at the camping site then all this beautiful nature is just outside your door.

From a NADA leaflet:
Stop the deportation of Iranian asylum seekers
The Australian Government is intent on deporting Iranian asylum seekers from Australia to Iran. They have offered $2000 to individuals
agreeing to be removed voluntarily, backed up with the threat that unless they agree to go in within 28 days, they will be forcibly deported.
Unbearable pressure is being applied to Iranians detained in on-shore detention centres to sign the deal. While DIMIA tells asylum seekers that
the Iranian Government has agreed to accept forced deportees, the Iranian Embassy has denied that this is the case (Financial Review, May 2,
Iran, just like Afghanistan and Iraq, is a country that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade bluntly warns Australians against traveling to,
yet at the same time is willing to forcefully deport asylum seekers to, who will face almost certain persecution and imprisonment, if not death.
The Iranian government is well known around the world for its repressive policies in particular those aimed at political activists, gays and
lesbians and members of the Baha'i community.
The deadline for the so-called voluntary repatriation package for the 466 Iranians currently held in detention centers is May 28 and on that day
the newly formed National Anti-Deportation Alliance (NADA) will be holding actions in all major capital cities to announce our intention of
mounting a campaign to stop the deportation of any Iranians against their will. NADA also pledges to work against all future forced deportations
of other asylum seekers whether in detention centers or in the community.
From the rally:
No One Is Illegal offer to Alexander Downer- $2000.90 if he agrees to relocate to Iran:

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance For The WiiReviewing: Activision Wii | Rating:
Genre: Fantasy/Fighting
Players: 1-4
Ultimate Alliance for the Wii was one of the first titles out for the wii. The game is multi platform, and has a few different characters differ in each. The wide range of characters in each game is astounding. I have Moon Kight, Ms. Marvel, Dr. Strange, Ghost Rider, Mr. Fantastic, Thor, Storm, Invisible Woman, Luke Cage, Captain America, Thing, Iron Man, Blade, Electra, Colossus, Iceman, Spider Woman, and my favorite team of Deadpool, Spidey, Human Torch, and Wolverine. Plus I still have four people to unlock. The missions are interesting, some can be kinda hack and slash. Some of the puzzles are odd or redundant. The basics of the game is to go through the missions given to you to stop Dr. Doom. You have a team of four of your choice. Certain combos by two teammates at the same time give you bonuses. The characters get * special moves, mapped out by either hitting A when the icon is selected, or with certain moves, are mapped out to movements of either sweep up, shake, sideswipe, and thrust down. These mapped movements are very picky and it is easier for you just to use the "hit a" method. Up to four people can play, but the game requires each player to have a wiimote AND nunchuk. Other moves are pretty intuitive, but I wish they didn't make the camera dependant on the nunchuk position. Sometimes it's nice to rest the nunchuk hand, but then the world starts to spin. One kinda cool feature I have found though is that with costume changes come power changes. Different costumes are usually the different eras of that hero's life and powers do change. Example: you gain regeneration when spidey has on his "black costume". Bosses also drop items with stat boosting abilities (but characters can only use one at a time, and some are character specific). The controls could have had more potential, and is so far the least played Wii game I own (at only 20 hours played thus far) and I have still have yet to beat it, but I think I'm pretty close. Despite all of that, it is fun to play most of the time, the controls are easy to learn, and is pretty safe for small ones (The battles are comic book like, mostly against cyborgs, etc). It's definitely a rent before you buy.

Five BMW M235i Coupes go drifting
Clearly not to be outdone by that pesky Toyota GT86 and its ability to smoke its tyres at will, BMW has released footage of what it calls the 'Driftmob'.
Taking the 'flashmob' innovation to the automotive sphere takes guts. And skill. And tyres. Something these five BMW M235i Coupe drivers have in abundance, because they took five red Coupes and drifted around a Cape Town roundabout.
Obviously, BMW had to close off the road, but the spectators had no idea what was to happen. The whole film was shot by one of the guys behind The Fast and the Furious, too.
Have a watch above. Does that sate your appetite for sideways? If not, read our review of the M235i Coupe here.

Bulletproof vest saves HPD officer in car burglary
HPD: Bulletproof vest saved officer
Car burglary suspect shoots policeman returning to his apartment, department says
Published 5:30 am, Sunday, August 12, 2007
A bulletproof vest protected a Houston police officer when he was shot by a suspected car burglar this morning at his southwest-side apartment complex, officials said.
The officer, who has not been identified, was returning home from work about 4:40 a.m. when he spotted someone breaking into cars in the parking lot of his apartment complex in the 2400 block of South Voss, police said.
The suspect ran when the officer called out to him. The man turned and fired several shots at the officer, and at least one hit him in the chest area, police said.
"The bulletproof vest prevented the bullet from penetrating," said Sgt. Nate McDuell, an HPD spokesman.
The officer, who returned fire, was treated and released from Memorial Hermann Hospital, police said.

The ony close result is House District 47, where Donna Keel (and all that Craddick-friendly money) has pulled in 47% to Rep. Valinda Bolton's 53%: A comfy margin for the incumbent, but there's still all of today's votes to be counted. That said, Keel woud have to take a monster share of election day ballots to take the race, but there's 43 precincts to come in.

Someone help ?
Ok, I have a micro SD (8GB) and I use it with the USB adapter to play my games with USB Loader GX, but in the Intro/CG of many games, it causes lag, sometimes big lag, and I want to know why i'm getting lag in the Intro/CG of the games.
Pls help, the game works fine (Super Mario Galaxy NTSC) but anything that shows wonderful graphics, causes lag ;/
Someone help ?
It might just be the micro-sd to usb adapter causing the lag. I don't think too many people have experience using one of those for usb loading. If you don't get an answer that's probably the reason. Best I can suggest is try a flash stick or other usb peripheral to rule out your adapter as the source of the lag. Or try reinstalling your cIOS as they sometimes get a bad install, though it doesn't sound like a cIOS issue.

So I was at working my job logging highlights last night for the Brooklyn Nets at Dallas Mavericks (which was on the ESPN broadcast), and there were at least 20-30 updates/mentions/ohhhhh-ing and ahhhhh-ing about the Heat Cavs game where the Heat found themselves down more than 20 only to come back and win it. Jeff Van Gundy is like that annoying friend you keep around in your group – he does something funny half the time then irks you the other half. On the tip-off between Chris Kaman and Brook Lopez he said, and I'm paraphrasing, "that was the worst tip in NBA history, they shouldn't be allowed to tip off ever again!" Pretty good stuff. Then, and admittedly I was checking the score too, all he and the other guy were talking about was the Heat game. What about the other fans? Even at halftime, the crew said they would give highlights for the Thunder game and Bill Simmons was like, "no I'm watching the Heat game." I get it ESPN it was the biggest game of the night, but sheesh.
After a rough first half, LeBron James absolutely went off, ending his night with both a rainbow line and a triple-double going 8-22 FG (3-7 3PTM) 25 Pts 12 Rebs 10 Asts 3 Stls and 2 Blks. If that's not gonna win you your first round of the playoffs, then you need better ancillary players! Ok so I'm a hypocrite and my open is all about the Heat game and nothing else… Let's just dive right into other action:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Manchester City has officially completed the signing of midfielder Javi Garcia from Benfica.
Goal.com understands the fee for the Spaniard is worth a total of 18 million pounds, an initial fee of 15.5m pounds plus an additional 2.5m pounds in potential add-ons.
The swoop for Garcia makes it a successful transfer deadline day for Roberto Mancini's side, who have also signed Scott Sinclair, Maicon, Matija Nastasic and Richard Wright.
The 25-year-old came through the ranks at Real Madrid, with whom he has had two spells, and has also played for Osasuna in La Liga.
The signing has come too late for Garcia to be considered for selection in Saturday's game at home to QPR, but he will be eligible for selection in the game away to Stoke City after the international break.
The Premier League champions are yet to release any details on the contract length for their new signing, who had to wait until just before the transfer window slammed shut for the paperwork to go through on his switch.
Garcia has been handed the No.14 shirt at the Etihad Staidum for the remainder of the 2012-13 season.

Theoretical Approaches to Services Advertising and the Differences in Practice: AContent Analysis of Services Advertising in Turkey
Intangible nature of services makes it necessary to implement different advertising strategies. Academics studying on services marketing have suggested various managerial frameworks about services advertising to tangibilize the services in the minds of consumers. Presenting physical evidences of services, providing documents, using symbols, showing the customer and personnel interaction are among these suggestions. Various researches about services advertising indicate that advertising strategies in practice, do not match with the suggestions of the theory. In this research services advertising are analyzed by content analysis. 133 services advertisements that appeared in 12 issues of Capital Journal are chosen for analysis. The content of the advertisements are analyzed in terms of price information, quality claim, use of symbols, headline, advertising appeal, availability of web address, personnel, customer, personnel and customer interaction and availability of physical evidences.

Use the Snug Carrycot as a to-go bassinet to carry a snoozing baby from room to room as you go about your day, or mount it on the carrycot stand (sold separately) so she can sleep at your bedside.
To install the Snug Carrycot on your Phil & Teds Dot or Navigator Stroller, just install the included attachment brackets, giving your Carrycot click-and-go functionality. Popping on the Carrycot gives your stroller the look of an elegant pram – and, most importantly, it keeps baby comfy.
