I'm delighted to be writing the third of four Messages from the Chair for The SciTech Lawyer.
So far we've focused upon two reasons that our colleagues tend to belong to a professional association: to look like a better lawyer and to affiliate with other lawyers. I'm confident you'll agree that these notions go hand in hand.
Now that we're looking good and surrounded by similarly compelling
colleagues, what of our support for the broader profession that makes all of this possible?
Fortunately, SciTech has never needed to consider imposing any sort of "altruism tax" on its members. I can't recall any point in my 14 years of membership at which the Section failed to find willing volunteers for a worthy cause. It's abundantly clear that we continue to participate not just to enhance ourselves, but also to serve the legal profession as a whole.
The first state bar entity I ever joined, fresh out of law school, was the "Lawyers Helping Lawyers Committee." This outfit was designed to assist attorneys whose practices were jeopardized by addictive disorders. Its name certainly set us up for some occasionally not-so-good-natured jibes that tended to end with a punch line like, "What else is new?"
In fact, every time we managed to save an attorney from drugs, alcohol, or other behavioral problems, we were also helping to save that person's family, staff, clients, and colleagues. Stepping up to assist our fellow lawyers—singly or in groups—does good for more than just our profession's reputation. It affirms our obligation to make the world a better place for everyone touched by the practice of law . . . and it's difficult to imagine just whom this would exclude.
SciTech provides many opportunities for members to serve, and I encourage each of you to seek out some way to help the profession. One current opportunity to serve is by joining one of SciTech's working groups addressing recommendations from the ABA Ethics 20/20 Commission. Big changes are proposed in areas that include (1) technology: confidentiality; (2) technology: client development; (3) uniformity, conflicts of interest, and choice of law; (4) outsourcing; and (5) alternative law practice structures. Each of these areas can be informed by SciTech's unique combination of interest and practice experience. By lining up our working groups well in advance we can directly influence the next wave of professional guidance: the final recommendations from this project will result in revisions to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. If you are interested in serving on one of these working groups, please contact Section Director Shawn Taylor Kaminski at firstname.lastname@example.com.
In this issue of The SciTech Lawyer, you'll also see a notice from former Section Chair Gil Whittemore that describes volunteer opportunities recently developed by various committees. This notice includes a brief description of the project in question, specification of what volunteers will be asked to do, and contact information for the person who can provide interested members with more information.
We're committed to keeping you up to date on all avenues of service—and also to fielding your suggestions for volunteer projects we haven't considered. I'm always delighted to hear from you, and I hope you won't hesitate to contact me directly at 877-877-6692 or at firstname.lastname@example.com if I can help in any way.

Steve Hackett is renowned as an immensely talented and innovative rock musician. As lead guitarist with the star-strewn line-up of 1970s Genesis he made an indelible impression on the fabric of classic rock, demonstrating an unparalleled emotional and technical range that spanned the delicacy of Horizons and the masterful solo of Firth Of Fifth. Parting company with Genesis in 1977, Steve embarked on a solo career that has spawned literally dozens of albums, drawing on influences from blues, jazz, classical and ethnic music. Along the way he has collaborated with many of the music world's leading lights, Steve Howe, Brian May, John Wetton and Paul Carrack chief amongst them, and has been cited by countless guitarists as a major influence. 1997's A Midsummer Night's Dream, recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, was much admired by Yehudi Menuhin and along with Tribute, a dazzlingly virtuosic recording of Bach repertoire, helped to cement Steve's position as a leading exponent of the classical guitar. In March 2010, Steve was inducted into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in New York, a fitting testimony to a world class musician and public recognition of his stature as both performer and composer.After forty prolific years in the business Steve might be forgiven for taking things easy but the last four years have been the busiest and most productive for a long while. 2009's studio album Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth was released to an overwhelmingly positive response from fans and reviewers alike, and has conspicuously bucked the trend of a diminishing CD market. September 2011 saw the release of an eagerly awaited successor, Beyond The Shrouded Horizon, bearing all the nuance and majesty that fans have come to expect. Drawn from a hectic touring schedule, April 2011's Live Rails, recorded across three continents, showcases the rich musical heritage from which the current live electric band set is drawn. Perennial Genesis favourites such as the mighty Firth Of Fifth sit alongside solo classics, while more recent material, with much of Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth now included, demonstrate that Steve is an artist very much at the very top of his game. His latest album basks in the title of 'Genesis Revisited II'. A follow-up to 1996's 'Genesis Revisited', as the title suggests, it sees the guitarist reinterpreting the golden era of the great band - one in which he was crucially involved – while also remaining true to the original spirit which produced such a remarkable string of timeless songs. This will be a double CD, as well as a quadruple set on vinyl. That's nearly 150 minutes of music – "It's a project of Wagnerian proportions!" says Hackett.
The album is released on October 22nd 2012, and will be followed by a worldwide tour in 2013.

Ronke Ojo Oshodi Oke Not Living With Husband; Nollywood Actress Denies Marriage Crash
May 1st, 2014 – Ronke Oshodi Oke Ojo Explains Why She's Not Living With Husband "I'm Not An Outgoing Person"
Ronke Ojo Oshodi Oke Not Living With Husband; Nollywood Actress Debunks Marriage Crash
Nollywood's booblicious queen, Ronke Ojo aka Oshodi Oke has finally spoken up on why she decided to stay solo since her controversial wedding in 2009.
The actress who claimed she loves tranquility recently told City People why she hasn't been living with her husband Omogbolahan Anthony since they got married.
In her own words:
"There is nothing wrong with my marriage. That's how people are just feeling. Recently, City People magazine celebrated me. I received an award. My husband was there with me. So if there was anything wrong with our union, would he be there? Things like that, you can't hide them from the public. I just believe people only like fabricating issues for whatever reason or reasons best known to them"
My husband lives in Surulere, while I lives in Ijaiye, Lagos "If you have a partner or spouse who is your friend, you will understand each other very well. Fine, I am a reserved person and on the other hand I am also into showbiz. So for me to manage these things, you have to be in a reserved person. For instance when you are going out or coming in, nobody knows your movement. Secondly, I am friendly but I don't really like crowd. My husband likes Surulere, he is a Surulere person. I like surburbs like Abule-Egba, Ijaiye area and so on. So both of us know how to manage the situation.
Whenever I say I am going to Surulere, I just go there to catch fun, see people and things I love to see. But the fact remains even if I am in Surulere, people don't really know I am there because I don't go out. I am not an outgoing person. Most of the events you see me, its either I am invited as a Master of Ceremony or the celebrant is my friend.
Anytime I don't go out and I am not on set, I go to my husband's place in Surulere and he understands me very well. All these kidnappings here and there, one needs to be very careful. When they kidnap your child and they say they need ransom, what would you do? So we know how we manage the situation. He also comes to Ijaiye where I live. That's where my mum lives"
Is this a genuine reason for living separately even after wedding… I don't get this oooo

wikiHow to Get a Choke Submission from the Back Mount Position in Jiu Jitsu
Getting to the back of your opponent in sport Jiu Jitsu or self defense is one of the most advantageous positions there is. This is how to finish with a basic, yet very effective attack.
1Steve has Travis in the top turtle position.
2Steve reaches both hands under Travis' arms to grab Travis' collars. He also places his left knee next to Travis' left knee and starts to roll to his left.
3He rolls Travis on top of him while keeping the collar grips on Travis
4He then sits up and puts his hooks inside, securing the back mount.
5He then wraps his left arm around Travis' neck and grabs his own shoulder.
6Steve now grabs his right bicep with his left hand and places his right hand behind Travis' head. He squeezes his elbows together to finish the choke

- If Steve were to roll to his left and stretch slightly then the choke would be even more effective.
- Remember, this is one of the best positions you can achieve in jiu jitsu. Even if you have trouble finishing the choke, there is little your opponent can do to you until he/she escapes. While training, look to get to this position often and you will be more and more successful in your training.
- Make sure to have the opponent's chin directly over your elbow. Their chin and your elbow have to line up. Take your time with this part. You can pull back on the opponent's forehead and reposition if necessary.
- Train only with a qualified instructor.

Press Release: IMF Executive Board Approves US$14.7 Million in Additional Emergency Post-Conflict Assistance to Haiti
October 19, 2005
The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) today approved SDR 10.23 million (about US$14.7 million) in Emergency Post-Conflict Assistance to Haiti, adding to the SDR 10.24 million (about $US14.7 million) in IMF Emergency Post-Conflict Assistance provided to Haiti in January 2005 (see Press Release No. 05/4).
Emergency Post-Conflict Assistance (EPCA) is designed to help IMF member countries with urgent balance of payments financing needs in the wake of armed conflicts.1 EPCA financing, which can play an important role in catalyzing donor support, is designed to be fast-disbursing but is coupled with IMF policy advice, covering the full range of macroeconomic policies and supporting structural measures, as well as technical assistance.
Following the Executive Board's discussion of Haiti, Mr. Agustín Carstens, Deputy Managing Director and Acting Chair, stated:
"The Haitian authorities have made progress toward restoring macroeconomic stability and implementing structural reforms under the program supported by the IMF's Emergency Post-Conflict Assistance (EPCA), approved in January 2005. They implemented the 2004/05 budget without net recourse to central bank financing, and tightened monetary policy in the face of the difficult macroeconomic and security situation as well as delays in donor disbursements. Important structural measures implemented include the completion of a census of employment in key ministries and public sector entities, progress toward completing a survey of domestic arrears, and stricter control over discretionary ministerial accounts.
"The government's program for 2005/06 adequately maintains the focus on preserving macroeconomic stability, enhancing governance and transparency, and increasing spending on infrastructure and social services. At the same time, continued international donor support will be critical for supporting the improvement in security necessary for safe and fair elections and economic recovery.
"The key objectives of the 2005/06 program are to strengthen the fiscal position, while avoiding central bank financing, to strengthen Haiti's external position, and to advance key structural reforms. In particular, revenue performance and expenditure management will be strengthened, and monetary policy will be tightened, to stem pressures on domestic prices and help ensure that the program's net international reserves target is met without undue pressure in the foreign exchange market. In support of these objectives, the authorities will take further measures to achieve a lasting improvement in the management and transparency of the public sector. These include: a more comprehensive census of public employees, based on a full headcount, once the security situation allows and resources become available; implementing a program to settle domestic arrears; continuing to publish the budget execution and the list of beneficiaries of government programs in support of the private sector; and moving ahead with the audit of public sector enterprises. The authorities are also committed to implementing a monitoring mechanism of fuel purchases and to ensure that new contracts on electricity production are based on open and competitive bids.
"Looking ahead, additional assistance from the international community will be required to support the authorities' 2005/06 program, the ongoing electoral process, and Haiti's longer-term development needs. In addition to providing a framework for donor support, it is anticipated that continued success in policy implementation under the EPCA-supported program will provide a basis for a possible PRGF-supported program and HIPC debt relief," Mr. Carstens said.

Finger food suggestions?
Hey ladies. My son really wants to feed himself. I'm trying to come up with more healthy, somewhat soft, finger food. Last night he had pasta, meatballs and broccoli, all cut into bite-sized pieces. He has egg and toast for breakfast. I'm looking for suggestions for lunch foods, I guess.

advocacy of Skepticism
...extent, skepticism is born of such reflection. Some ancient skeptics contended that all arguments are equally bad and, accordingly, that nothing can be proved. The contemporary American philosopher Benson Mates, who claims to be a modern representative of this tradition, has argued that all philosophical arguments are equally good.
On the basis of experimental findings such as these, many philosophers adopted forms of radical skepticism. Benson Mates, for example, has declared: "Ultimately the only basis I can have for a claim to know that there exists something other than my own perceptions is the nature of those very perceptions. But they could be just as they are even if there did not exist anything else. Ergo, I...

Gindl sent down, but should be back soon
Gindl sent down, but should be back soon
ARLINGTON -- His bags packed, Brewers rookie outfielder Caleb Gindl exchanged the customary handshakes and well wishes with teammates on Tuesday as he prepared to return to Triple-A Nashville after he was optioned to make room for Aramis Ramirez.
It was the second time this season Gindl has been sent down, but it was not all bad news. In his second stay in the Majors, Gindl performed well, with a .293 batting average (17-for-58), a .379 on-base percentage and a .483 slugging percentage in 22 games and 16 starts in the last month.
Moreover, Gindl will likely get to return as a September callup.
"I'll go back down and I'll hit and get myself right back up here," he said.
Gindl, who has hit .294 at Nashville and .282 with Milwaukee this season, said he spent much of his most recent Major League stint talking to older players to learn more about the game at its highest level. Starting pitcher Kyle Lohse was a frequent mentor, Gindl said.
"I talked to Lohse a lot as far as the way he pitches, the way he goes about things, trying to get me a better approach when I face a veteran pitcher, how he's going to go about his business," Gindl said. "I think that really helped me this go-around.
"This time, I learned more. The first time, you're in awe and you don't know what to expect. This time, you really pay attention, you settle down and you really learn a lot more."
The left-handed Gindl was the odd-man out among three young Brewers outfielders, manager Ron Roenicke said. Rookie Logan Schafer and Khris Davis remain with the club.
"It's a tough call, just because he's doing well for us," Roenicke said of Gindl.

Bike-riding thief on crime spree 'under threat from drug dealers'
A bicycle-riding thief who took thousands of pounds worth of goods from retailers in Belfast has been jailed for six months.
Jordan Boyd also made dozens of fraudulent purchases using bank cards stolen from two women at a party.
His lawyer claimed he carried out the three-month crime spree under threat from drug dealers to whom he owed money.
But sending the 23-year-old to prison, District Judge Liam McNally told him: "I have no doubt that then descended into a matter of pure greed on your part."
Boyd, of Willowfield Street in the city, targeted branches of Boots pharmacist, filling stations, convenience stores and Marks & Spencer at Forestside.
Belfast Magistrates Court heard he carried out shoplifting on 13 separate days between April and July this year. He stole more than £2,000 worth of cosmetics, and also took large quantities of meat products, detergents and fabric softener.
On one occasion he was stopped with 24 packets of cheese. Prosecutors said he was repeatedly identified on CCTV footage, often viewed leaving the targeted stores on a bicycle.
Boyd also stole bank cards from two women who attended a party with him in May.
Within a two-hour period the next morning the victims' cards had been used to make a total of 26 transactions, all under £30.
Following his arrest Boyd told police the cards had been dumped in a sewer. He claimed to have taken them to "buy fags and make a few quid", the court heard.
Boyd pleaded guilty to multiple counts of theft, fraud by false representation, going equipped for theft, handling stolen goods and attempted theft.
Defence counsel Richard McConkey said: "The only explanation for this is this man accumulated a very significant debt to drug dealers for substance misuse and he was under threat."
Acknowledging Boyd's admissions, Judge McNally ordered him to serve a total of six months behind bars for the crime spree.

Max is a about 1 year and 2 months old. He was left behind in a foreclosed home in Daytona Beach, FL. Found by a neighbor, he was brought into a veterinary clinic where he tested HW+. For the past 10 days, he has been sitting in a small kennel, day and night and on the weekends, he only gets walked twice a day :-(We are in the process of getting Max out of the vet's office and hopefully placing him in a foster home, where he can be socialized with people and other dogs and get the excercise he needs.
His treatment will take about 5-6 months and it will include daily medication and weekly shots, plus special diet. It will be very costly. We are waiting for the final estimate from the vet, but we are preparing for around $1000.Please, help us bring Max to health so he can have a better life.Thank you.

"It shall bruise thy head"
The most significant of all the Bible covenants is the first one, for it has to do with the means God has appointed for the removal of sin, the root cause of all mankind's problems. The other covenants made with Abraham and David concern the land of promise and the throne of God over Israel, but without the conquest of sin and its effects, they would go unrealized. Our aim in this lesson is to examine the promise of a redeemer who would conquer sin and re-open the gateway to life.
Genesis 3
The destiny God intended for man is set out in Gen. 1:26 — that he should attain 'dominion' over the earth. But whether he should realize his Divinely appointed destiny, depended upon his obedience to God's law (2:17). So long as Adam and Eve followed what God taught, all went well.
In our last lesson we considered how Eve was tempted by the serpent and how Adam likewise partook of the forbidden fruit which was offered to him by Eve. God put into effect His Law; death was the punishment for sin and this involved Adam, Eve and all their descendants. In Romans 5:12, Paul sums up how Adam's sin affected mankind at large: "Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all have sinned" (R.V.).
Note that Paul says that "through one man" four things happened. They were:—
- Sin entered into the world: When Adam sinned, sin as a principle of human action came into existence. From then on, Sin reigned like a king over mankind (Rom. 6:12).
- And death through sin: Death was the penalty imposed by God once sin had become a fact (Gen. 3:17-19; cf. 1 Cor. 15:21-22; "by man came death").
- And so death passed upon all men: Adam's descendants inherited from him a body which is mortal. Thus all are subject to death and corruption. What was a penalty to Adam, became to all others a law of their nature.
- For all have sinned: Adam's descendants inherited not only mortality from him, but also a nature prone to sin (Jer. 17:9; Mk. 7:21-23). This proneness to sin is so strong that men, left to themselves, will inevitably sin. For this reason Paul can say that through Adam's sin, all men have sinned (cf. Rom. 3:23). Also, because men will inevitably sin, it is quite just for God to make them all subject to death. Because of Adam's trespass, mankind at large has been locked into a cycle of sin and death. Only through the work of Christ is it possible to break out of that cycle. It was that work which was foreshadowed in God's punishment of the serpent in Eden.
THE PROMISE OF REDEMPTION (Gen. 3:15).
When God punished the serpent, He cursed him above every other animal. The serpent was to spend his days "upon his belly", grovelling in the dust of the earth (v.14). But something further was added, and it was this that constituted God's first great covenant with mankind — the Edenic covenant:— "I (God) will put enmity between thee (the serpent) and the woman (Eve) and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel" (v.15). The important points of this promise are:—
• Two parties will be involved —the serpent and his seed, and —the woman and her seed.
• There will be enmity between them. The two parties will be continually in conflict with each other.
• The conflict will finally be resolved. The seed of the woman will inflict the serpent with a fatal and permanent wound (i.e. a wound in the head). But while this is taking place the serpent will inflict a temporary wound (i.e. a wound in the heel) on the seed of the woman. The picture presented in these words is that of a man's foot about to descend upon a serpent's head, in order to crush it to death. But before the man's foot crushes the snake's head, it bites his heel, causing him to suffer pain, but only for a limited time.
The words of Genesis 3:15 have a literal sense. Throughout history, snakes have been deadly enemies of human beings. Most people are revolted at the sight or even the thought of snakes. However, the real importance of Genesis 3:15 lies in its figurative meaning:
• The serpent uttered the false teaching, in which he expressed the thinking of the flesh, as opposed to God (3:4-5). Thus the serpent represents the source of sin (human nature).
• The seed of the serpent then are those who display the characteristics of the serpent — those who speak and act after the flesh (cf. Matt. 3:7; 23:33; Rom. 8:7-8).
• The woman represents the truth of God's word, which she initially spoke (Gen. 3:2-3).
• The seed of the woman is, in the first instance, Jesus Christ. God was his Father, and he always displayed the mind, ways and character of his Father. The term "seed of the woman" implies that he was not to be the
seed of the man. In fact God caused a virgin to conceive through His Spirit power (Lk. 1:35; Isa. 7:14). In this way it was foreshadowed that God would have to be involved in human salvation.
The most important conflict of all time was the struggle between Christ and Sin. Although he had human nature, or in the words of Paul, was "in the likeness of sinful flesh" (Rom. 8:3), he never once yielded to sin. He gained the victory over sin by subduing his natural human desires and instead obeyed God. He did this not only in his life, but also in his death. So it can be said that through death, Christ destroyed that which has the power of death, i.e. SIN. Heb. 2:14 expresses this concept using the word "devil" as a personification of Sin.
Gen. 3:15 expresses the same concept as Heb. 2:14, only using the term "serpent" rather than "devil". Christ had to suffer death himself (be bruised in the heel by the serpent) because he had human nature, but this was not a fatal blow since Christ was raised from the dead after 3 days and given immortality. The victory came because he gave a fatal blow to sin — the serpent thinking (he bruised the head of the serpent). His conflict was not just with the seed of the serpent (the Jews and Gentiles of his day who conspired against him), but with the serpent itself — the origin of evil works — in order that, in due course, others would be released from the bondage of sin and death.
GOD'S PLAN OF REDEMPTION (1 Peter 2:21-24).
While the term "the seed of the woman" primarily refers to the Lord Jesus Christ, it also includes those who have accepted God's word and are baptised into Christ. They too are involved in the conquest over sin. Jesus is the great example "who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth" (1 Pet. 2:21-22). In his death, sin was overcome (Heb. 9:26), and God was shown to be just in condemning human nature to death (Rom. 3:23-26). This having been done, God could then justly open up the way of resurrection unto eternal life.
For sin to be overcome, we must follow a path which is similar, though not the same. Christ died as a sacrifice for sins, but we are baptised into Christ's death (Rom. 6:3-9).
In our baptism, we acknowledge that God is right in condemning human nature. God then forgives us our past sins and from then on we must "walk in newness of life", not serving self but serving God. We must follow in the steps of Jesus and give obedience to God. But God has provided a means so that when we stray from the path of obedience, we can seek forgiveness for our sins through Jesus Christ who intercedes with God on our behalf (1 John 2:1).
We must avoid sin at all times, but sin will not be completely eradicated from our lives until Christ returns and gives us, if we are worthy, eternal life. Then we will, under Christ, work to eliminate sin from the earth (Rom. 16:20). At the end of the millenium, sin will be completely destroyed and there will be no more death (Rev. 20:14 to 21:4). Then the victory over "the seed of the serpent" will be complete.
THE ATONEMENT IN EDEN (Gen. 3:21).
When Adam and Eve sinned, they realised they were naked and in their shame, they sought to cover their sin by clothing themselves with fig leaves (v.7). But God rejected this humanly devised covering and provided them instead with "coats of skins" (v.21). This required the slaying of animals.
In this, God was teaching a lesson. Nakedness in Scripture symbolizes the state of sin (Rev. 16:15). For sin to be covered and fellowship with God restored, a sacrifice provided by God is required. "Without the shedding of blood is no remission" of sin (Heb. 9:22). Adam and Eve were taught that the pathway back to friendship with God required a life of sacrifice to God in which the serving of self is put aside.
From the fact that Jesus Christ is styled "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Rev. 13:8), it is clear that the animal slain was a lamb and that it was intended to point forward to him as "the Lamb of God" (John 1:29, 36). What happened in Eden, therefore, foretold the work of God in Christ. We have natures prone to sin and are in as great a need of covering for sin as Adam and Eve. Baptism provides that covering. When we are baptised into Christ, we "put on" or "become clothed with" Christ (Gal. 3:27). Then, renouncing sinful ways, our "sins are covered" by God's grace (Rom. 4:7).
ADAM AND EVE EXCLUDED FROM THE GARDEN (Gen. 3:22-24).
Adam and Eve were finally driven from the Garden of Eden. God said, "Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil." There was the danger that Adam might "put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever." He was therefore sent forth from the Garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. At the east of the Garden of Eden were placed "cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life".
But even in that there was hope. Adam and Eve were barred at that time from the tree of life, but the way to it was preserved so that, through the later work of Christ, believers could have the hope of eternal life (Rev. 2:7).
- Through the disobedience of Adam and Eve, sin and death entered the world, thus marring God's creation.
- In Eden, God promised that the power of sin would eventually be destroyed by "the seed of the woman" (i.e. Christ).
• But in destroying sin, "the seed of the woman" would be bruised in "the heel" by "the seed of the serpent" (i.e. Christ would suffer death himself, but only for a time).
• By believing God and being baptised, we are forgiven our past sins. We must then put down sin in our lives, though forgiveness of sins is available to us through Christ.
• Christ is returning to eradicate sin from the world. Then the victory over the serpent's seed will be complete.

This photo was taken on Star City, Philippines an amusement and recreational activities for everyone, after all the rides we did we saw this pool on the corner with some people was relaxing their foot. We keep closer and observe what's going on I told hubby lets have a try it would be nice for our foot especially your foot hehhe. It's good idea too becuase we're so tired walking around, a great relaxing sitting in the pool for a 20 minutes soaking in the fresh water pool surrounded by hundreds of fresh water fish that nibbles and bites the foot, eat the dead skin as a source of therapeautic massage around it. The more fish that nibbles you it mean the more skin disease on your foot hhehe my sister and I were laughing on my hubby as at first when he put his foot, lots of fish are coming to him. It's fun doing it. It's only the close photo of my hubby as I'm 2 meters away from him in the pool.

My friends here can attest that I could talk about food for hours. I am not the world's best cook, I do not religiously follow celebrity chefs and I am no more of a restaurant snob than most college students. However, get me started on industrial agriculture, community gardens or school lunch programs, and I promise to tell you everything I know.
For me, food goes way beyond what we eat every day; food is a vehicle for social change. It is one of the most universal mediums and that connects people all over the world. Regardless of what background one comes from or how much one cares about environmental issues or economic justice, food is something everyone thinks about at least three times a day.
That is why I am proud to represent the Real Food Challenge. This nation-wide movement unites students in the promotion of food that not only sustains us as consumers, but also supports our planet and the people worldwide who produce the food we eat. The RFC group at Hamilton is part of a campaign to shift over one billion dollars of college and university food-purchasing budgets toward food that is fair, locally-sourced, ecologically sound and humanely produced. We at Hamilton are lucky; we just got back the results from an analysis of Bon Apetit's invoices and found that we currently purchase 20 percent "real" food, including some varieties of fair trade coffee, cage free eggs and certain locally grown lettuces and apples. We plan to set a goal of to around 30 percent "real" food by 2020 and present this commitment to the college on National Food Day on Oct. 24. This is higher than what many other colleges and universities are aiming for; we want to be one of the leading institutions that have an even greater impact in food sourcing, adding to Hamilton's reputation as a prominent college that values sustainability.
I hope, through the efforts of the Real Food Challenge, Slow Food, Bon Appétit, academic classes and other outlets, that we can stir up real conversation that considers food beyond what we see on our plates. It is so easy to be removed from the processes that go into food production, and I encourage everyone to start thinking and reconnect. Some farmworkers receive pennies out of the sales of the food they grow, areas of our country are destroyed from agricultural abuse and even though we produce more than enough food globally to support the world's population, one in every eight people suffers from malnourishment according to the UN FAO. On top of that, there are now more people who are overweight than those who are malnourished. The food industry in our country alone is riddled with competing issues of lack of access, an abundance of fast food, dietary concerns, industrial monopolies, and vanishing family farms. The decisions we make about what to eat are all at once unifying, divisive, traditional, avant-garde and ridden with political and economic issues.
But let's bring it back home. We are one of the fortunate communities that has the drive to work together to improve and transform our campus food purchasing. We can join together with colleges and universities across the country and purchase food that satisfies our palates, our budget, and our beliefs at the same time. So let's start thinking and questioning our food, and let's get excited for impact that Hamilton can have on food purchasing nationwide.

About Me
Make the most of the city life :D
Perhaps a mother´s view is an honest one: After I come back home after having lived abroad my mother usually calls me something that refers to where I was. I have been her indian girl for quite some time, but now, after a summer in Kulusuk Greenland, she calls me her little inuit. She captures two essential parts of me, the urge to be in different places, and that the places I stay at always take a large part of my heart.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
My first CouchSurfing experience was in Germany a few years ago and now I used it on my travels in India, which was truly amazing.
Unfortunately I have not been able to host travelers but I will, and Im looking forward to it, as soon as I have a place of my own again.
CS seems to be the brilliant way to get information about the places where you travel so I will start surfing through that as well.
I do think it is a brilliant way to travel because the local´s site of things is always more real.
Nature is what makes my life worth living... being in the mountains, hearing the rivers flow, and seeing the endless horizon on the ocean gives me the energy I need to do my things. If that is not an option, dancing can do the trick.

The Vetus thruster was fitted 3 years ago, and never had a problem. It has stopped working on one side, please help.
That will most likely be in the lower gear housing. It could also be just a shear pin on the thruster propeller. Either way, you likely sucked in a piece of debris that stopped the blade cold.

A Frivolous Government
The testimonies of Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak to the Turkel Committee reveal grave flaws about their judgment and discussions on the most sensitive diplomatic and security matters.
The testimonies by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak to the Turkel Committee arouse considerable concern. In describing the decision-making process before the takeover of the Turkish flotilla to the Gaza Strip, the two men revealed grave flaws about their judgment and discussions on the most sensitive diplomatic and security matters.
The suspicions that arose immediately after the operation were confirmed in all their gravity in the testimonies. Netanyahu testified that a decision by the defense minister had imposed the naval blockade on Gaza at the time of Operation Cast Lead; the defense minister had apparently informed the prime minister at the time, Ehud Olmert. According to Netanyahu, no discussion was held in any larger forum about the blockade and its implications. When threats about breaking through the blockade grew, the government tried to use diplomacy to thwart the flotilla, and when the diplomatic effort failed, it resorted to the bullying takeover of the ships.
According to Netanyahu, the main consideration guiding him in his decision later to open the gates of Gaza was Israel's image in the international media. The Palestinian population's suffering was not on his mind beyond the general statement that "there is no humanitarian crisis" in the Gaza Strip.
In the same spirit, the meeting of the forum of seven senior ministers before the takeover focused on the implications for "the media effect," as Netanyahu said. He recalls a cursory discussion: "I received several ideas, issued a few instructions ... but we didn't get into a discussion of the operation's details."
Barak presented a completely different version, to the point that it's hard to believe that the prime minister and the defense minister took part in the same discussion. According to the defense minister, the ministers and officials went into detail, asked serious questions and expressed concern about complications: "There wasn't a situation of people not understanding the situation." Barak praised the government and attributed the responsibility for the hitches to the military, just as Netanyahu had attributed the responsibility to the defense minister.
The Turkel Committee has done well not to be content with the narrow mandate it received from Netanyahu and Barak and in deciding to examine the nature of their decisions. The significant contradictions between the testimonies and the attempts by the prime minister and the defense minister to pass the buck on down show that something basic is creaking at the top. The committee must thoroughly examine the issues so we can learn lessons and reduce the risk of similar mishaps in the future.

How the West will be won depends so much on how well Tim Duncan can hold up to the pounding that will punctuate this year's matchup with Memphis and its two-headed monster.
The Grizzlies are a lot of things, but pretty is never mentioned in the conversation, a grind-and-grit approach that earns few style points.
In many ways, the Grizzlies are a throwback to an era when defence was the priority, when virtually every offensive set went inside first, a half-court style that does not lend itself to high-scoring games or attractive viewing.

beekermartin Where can I check what version chipset drivers I currently have installed? I am not use to Windows 7 yet and I am having a hard time finding stuff. lol
loveha To me sounds like an issue with your RealTek Network Drivers. Yea I know sounds dumb. Give this a try with the 260.99 Drivers. It may fix it, it may not. If it doesn't just revert to the ones that are working for you. I wrote that guide after I had the exact same issues you were. RealTek does have drivers out now that works with SLI, but there website sucks when it comes to navigation and finding what you want. I did get the latest in a windows update. so you may want to check your windows update to see if you have any.
beekermartin I just installed the chipset drivers just to be safe. I am still using 260.89 though. 260.89 seems to be working so I think I will just stick with that for now. It appears 260.99 isn't the most stable for SLI setups. I will wait for the next set of drivers to be released. I don't feel like chasing down driver issues for countless hours. If I start having problems with 260.89 then I will try what loveha posted next. Thanks guys!
beekermartin Well it has been a few weeks and so far no problems. It appears the realtek windows update has fixed the problem. Awfully strange that a ethernet driver update would fix a video driver problem but that appears to be the case here. Thanks again loveha!

Peak current at partial throttle
I have seen in several threads the concept that at partial throttle the peak current pulled by a motor is the same as the full throttle current regardless of the throttle setting. I have asked why this is so in other threads, but so far no one has been able to explain it other than saying the current is switched and referring me to the Castle Creations article on the subject. If this is in fact true, I am hoping that someone here can explain this phenomenon in a more concise manner.
First I will tell you what I know about the subject. I have read the Castle Creations article and IMHO it is seriously flawed. For those of you who have not seen it or want to refer to it, you can find it at http://www.castlecreations.com/media/castle-scribe.html . Select Issue #1 and scroll down to Myths and Mysteries Explained. Basically the article sets up a scenario where a motor pulls 15 amps at full throttle. It also states that a meter will measure an average current of 10 amps at three-fourths, or 75% throttle. Also 75% throttle will give a 75% duty cycle where the ESC is on for three-fourths of the time and off for one-fourth of the time. Now we are told that during the ESC on-time the motor will pull the same current as at full throttle, in this case 15 amps.
So far so good. Although the article doesnt state it, full battery voltage is also applied to the motor during the ESC on-time. Therefore, the article implies that with full voltage and full current the motor will be producing full power for 75% of the time and no power for 25% of the time. Thus the motor is averaging 75% power at 75% throttle or duty cycle.
This is where their logic falls short. At 75% duty cycle a motor does not produce 75% power. It produces only the power needed to turn the load. And since our load is a propeller, it only requires 42.2% power at a 75% duty cycle. This is because the power required by a propeller changes with the cube of the change in RPM. Since the average voltage seen by the motor is 75% of full battery voltage, the RPM will be 75% of full throttle RPM. Therefore the power required by the propeller will be the cube of 0.75 or 0.422.
While the propeller requires 42.2% average power at the reduced RPM, we are still working at a 75% duty cycle. Therefore the peak power required during the ESC on-time will be 0.422 / 0.75 = 0.563 or 56.3% of full throttle power. Therefore, the peak current at 75% throttle will be 56% of full throttle current or 8.44 amps, not the full 15 amps as stated in the CC article.
Thats my story and Im sticking to it . That is unless someone can point out any errors in my logic. I am willing to learn.
I had doubts about the Castle article too.
The current drawn by the motor will be effected by the load and the inertia of the prop will even out any power pulses from the ESC.
Also the damage done by high current is from heating and we have the thermal mass of the batteries and ESC to consider. Thats why the continueous rating on batteries and other electroic components is less than this peak rating.
Terry Rigden
What law of physics is it that makes 75% duty cycle equate to 75% rpms ? You're assuming that rotational speed is proportional to duty cycle but I don't know of any reason why that would be true (and the simple measurements I've done don't show anything like that).
BTW to my mind the CC article is fine except that it assumes a resistive load. I.e. that simple Ohms Law applies. This isn't really the case for (highly inductive) motors. But I'm not convinced that's enough to explain your theory of rpm proportional to duty cycle.
Certainly the motor will draw less current at low throttle. But the problem with your theory is the assumption that current flow is constant during the 'on' portion of the PWM cycle. It isn't.
Take a look at these two oscillograms, showing measurements I made of current going into an ESC (GWS ESC-25A, GWS 2205-15T, EP7035, PSU set to 7V). At full throttle my wattmeter showed 8A. The 'scope showed current climbing a bit during each phase, from a low of about 7A to a high of about 9A.
At 2/3rd throttle my wattmeter showed just 3.5A, but the instantaneous current spiked to almost 9A! In this case the peak current at 2/3rd throttle was higher than the average current at full throttle!
Very good graphs Bruce.
The full throttle trace shows how the motors inductance limits inrush and the current is fairtly steady.
Part throttle shows the final current is higher by far..this is what you expect, because the back EMF from the motor is well below supply.
Now to calculate the actual power losses in both cases...
Thanks Bruce. Hope that helps folks show how their ESC's really work.
Also shows why most ESC's are so non-linear in throttle response.
But, I'm still sticking to the contention that these "tests" were performed on a "bench" with the motor statically loaded. In flight with a lightly loaded model in a cruse condition, amp draw will be less, because the power needed to sustain flight is lower. I'm not saying the motor never draws full amperage at part throttle, but it does not draw full amperage all the time at part throttle. This depends on the load.
Thank you for the O'scope shots.
The "full current at partial throttle" theory, is most often refered to when someone wants to limit amps by using partial throttle, when say their ESC is rated below their WOT current as measured for the setup, simple answer NOOOO This seems to be a recipe for smoke.
Now I have seen references to the peak current being a problem for lipos in particular, but I am clueless, as I don't have the engineering level training to have an opinion on that one, any thoughts from anyone?
Also, would there be any value in adding filter capacitors to our Wattmeters to give a more accurate "average" reading.
Thanks to all for attempting to enlighten those of us who are not "electron gurus" out here!
My basic question about all of this is just how the ESCs and motors are rated for maximum allowable load. Are they rated for the maximum amperage spike that they can survive, at a certain voltage, or are they rated for an "average" amperage, (as read by a watt meter)? I suspect that it's the latter, and I've always wondered why they aren't rated for maximum allowable wattage, as that should paint a truer picture of thermal and mechanical stress on the components.
If the components are rated for an "average" amperage, then part throttle operation should provide a margin of safety, since a watt meter will show a much lower amperage draw upon seeing even a minor reduction of throttle setting.
They are rated to not blow up and thats 99.99% from overheating. The heat is proportional to the RMS current through them. The meter will probably measure the average current.
Thats why they CAN get hotter at part throttle, than full.
May do some maths later..
After all that, let me say that most of what everyone perceives allows them to work out good combinations for flight. The only real problem is getting an ESC that is correct for your application, ie, whatever your peak voltage and current draw are.
The ratings of a motor are based mainly on the wire size, which dictates the amount of current that can be run through them without shorting. Secondly, the heat generated by that current has to be able to escape, which is why there is a Watt rating as well. Peak ratings mean that the immediate heat will not melt anything, but, that it needs a while for all that energy to get out of the motor. So, full throttle for a few seconds, then at partial throttle it has time to cool down. The watt meter is sufficient to measure both of those.
ESC's are limited by the FET's (Field Effect Transisitors, which are like high frequency switches) capacities. Their load rating is based on peak voltage as well as current (heat generation). Too high a voltage can break down the circuit inside the FET. They still have to get rid of heat (like a motor does) which is why you see large heat sinks on ESC's for cars and boats.
Part throttle operation does provide a margin of safety. But, other things can suffer if you take it to the extreme. If you cruise at 1/4 throttle, then you have only 1/4 of the stick movement to setup for landing. Kinda coarse controls.
The key is to make sure your peak voltage is within the limits of the components, then keep the current draw to reasonable levels. You can rely on throttle control for this, but, it is risky. I've burned up a motor using this logic. At least it was only a sp400 and not a big brushless.
The motor is not seeing constant voltage. It is seeing full pack voltage, then none, full, then none. Not all of your "excess" 75 watts are staying in the battery. Some are being converted to heat due to the inefficiencies of the system.
Take a look at some of the power systems being used in 3D foamies with their absurdly low wing loadings. They often don't need more than a few clicks to maintain level flight, but the power systems can run very hot, despite being out in the breeze and running almost the entire flight at partial throttle.
Static on the bench it is only seeing max load if you give it full power, same as in the air. Partial power settings in the air, and on the bench, are just that; partial power.
Thayer, I know the voltage is not "on" continusly, and is switched at the ecs rate, What I'm talking about is when factoring watts, the voltage is "Constant"
Like: Amps x Volts = Watts
If a motor draws 10 amps on a bench at 1/2 throttle, in a lightly loaded plane flying at 1/2 throttle you say your still drawing 10 amps? I say its less and dependent on the motor load.
Static on the bench it is only seeing max load if you give it full power, same as in the air. Partial power settings in the air, and on the bench, are just that; partial power.
I thought your claiming its seeing full power (amps) but switched at a lower rate by the esc?
Static load on the bench and load in the air are different beasts. Most of the time the static load at any power setting is higher than the same throttle setting in the air.
One exception is when you have a propellor blade that is stalled when testing static. That conditions tells you almost nothing about flight performance.
Other exceptions (not all of them) are hovering, high AOA maneuvers, takeoff roll, rapid application of throttle.
I use static testing to tell me if I am exceeding limits when at full throttle. Very little more than that.
Please don't mix current draw, power, and voltage. They are different.
The ESC switches full voltage on and off. The current draw that responds to the depends on the motor and load conditions.
In your simple measurements were you using actual duty cycle or throttle position? They are not the same in most, if not all, ESCs. Some ESCs are better than others, but none have a completely linear throttle.

Yes, my model is quite simplified and, to paraphrase if I may, your graphs definitely show that reality is stranger than theory.
I do have a question about your wave forms. The major cycles are occuring at 125usec intervals which gives a frequency of 8khz. Is that the PWM switching frequency or the comutation frequency?

CriticalBlue supporting Power architecture with Cascade
Post a comment
SAN FRANCISCO Embedded systems design tool startup CriticalBlue has added support for IBM Corp.'s Power architecture to its Cascade co-processor synthesis tool.
According to CriticalBlue (San Joe, Calif.), co-processor synthesis boosts embedded systems processing performance by creating a loosely coupled programmable co-processor to accelerate the execution of compiled binary executable software code offloaded from the main processor in the system. Optimal utilization of general purpose embedded processors, such as those based on the Power architecture, is achieved through offloading certain compute intensive functions which are commonly found in today's embedded software, the company said.
Co-processor synthesis reduces system power consumption while freeing up the main Power microprocessor to perform other tasks, CriticalBlue said, ultimately accelerating the execution of embedded software running on Power devices.
According to the company, Cascade users do not need to alter their methodologies of flows for software development or for hardware implementation. Cascade reads in the application executable code, which has been compiled, for the main Power microprocessor in the system, then allows users to select which software routines are to be offloaded onto the co-processor as well as setting performance and area constraints for the software synthesis stage inside Cascade, CriticalBlue said.
During synthesis, CriticalBlue said, Cascade optimizes the co-processor data cache architecture and sizes both data and instruction caches. It also optimizes the datapaths inside the coprocessor based on low level analysis of the software application itself, the company said, then produces register-transfer language (RTL) which is ready for logic synthesis. CriticalBlue said Cascade automatically deals with all the hardware and software interfacing issues between the main Power microprocessor and the generated coprocessor, via the system bus.
Cascade will initially support the 405 and 440 Power Architecture cores. The underlying support will be for the Power instruction set, CriticalBlue said, making the addition of other Power cores in the future a straightforward process.
"Engineering work has already started on the Power version of Cascade and we are actively engaging with early adopter customers and scheduling evaluations for early in 2006," said David Stewart, CriticalBlue CEO, in a statement.
CriticalBlue was among eight companies that joined Power.org, an open community developing standards and applications around the Power architecture, on Monday (Sept. 26).

Have you ever had a lead generation campaign and your merchant services company encountered someone completely new in the ways of business? Furthermore, this person came to run a business from being a consumer in the same market he or she is now catering to. Some might consider this person a pro and would consider them an excellent prospect for the lead generation campaign.
The truth is they could still just be akin to fantasy adventurers trying to become merchants. Your lead generation strategy might want to consider testing how much they know about selling to customers instead of trying to qualify them right away.
When Lead Generation Targets Intrepid Merchants
Intrepid Merchant is the name given to a recurring character trope in fantasy settings. These are people who start out as adventurers but have developed a penchant for selling the things they find on their journey. If your lead generation strategy targets prospects with similar business models, you are basically targeting Intrepid Merchants.
Obviously, these sound like they belong in the small business segment of your market. Then again, so what? It is not like even small businesses do not qualify for credit card processing leads. These people already have a shop and a system of selling to their own customers. Why should your lead generation strategy exclude them? Better yet, what can it do to include them?
To start, use these traits to build the definition your lead generation strategy needs to find Intrepid Merchants in real life:
- They move around on the occasional adventure – They may have a shop but circumstances could have them moving around (taking a vacation, joining events, looking for new suppliers). Make sure your lead generation strategy is flexible in terms of getting past geographical obstacles. Be as available and noticeable as possible wherever they are (internet, social media, even niche media).
Related Content: Lead Generation – Are You A Nomad Or A Settler?
- They are skilled in creating/acquiring what they sell – Another unique trait is that these business owners are selling things they either made themselves (e.g. craft items, art designs) or at least really good at getting them (e.g. suppliers, collectors). Your B2B lead generation strategy should consider the fact that these are but the natural products of other activities they are passionate about.
- They may not be skilled in selling (yet) – On the opposite end, they may not entirely be business savvy enough to make the most out of what they are selling. It remains important though and is an important message you need to send using your lead generation tools. They may not need an MBA but a few helpful tips would be, well, helpful!
- They want things simple and profitable – Finally, it is highly likely that these people do not want to be bothered with too much complexity when it comes to selling. A good lead generation strategy knows how to minimize (if not eliminate) any sign of red tape or bureaucracy when it comes to a better way of having customers pay them.
Related Content: Lead Generation – Your Results Tie With Your Customers
To sum it up, these are people who do not like to be chained down, not even by the offers you leave around for them to see in your lead generation campaign. They are merely the type who want the fine balance between doing what they want to do and making money off of it. So if you run into them among your B2B sales leads, know that you are making merchants out of adventurers!

Mile Trivia
- The word "mile" comes from the Latin "mille," meaning thousand. A mile was 1,000 Roman strides, a stride being two paces.
- The current world record in the mile is 3:43.13, set by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco on July 7, 1999. The current women's record is 4:12.56 by Svetlana Masterkova of Russia, set on August 14, 1996.
- Roger Bannister averaged 15.037 miles per hour when he first broke four minutes. El Guerrouj averaged 16.134 mph during his WR.
- The longest-standing world record in the mile is El Guerrouj's current record. It has stood for more than 14 years and 9 months (and counting).
- The shortest period between world records is two days. Steve Ovett of England lowered the WR to 3:48.40 on August 26, 1981. Sebastian Coe, also of England, broke that record on August 28 with a 3:47.33
- The first American to break four minutes was the University of California's Don Bowden, who ran 3:58.7 on June 1, 1957.
- The oldest person to go under four minutes was Eamonn Coghlan of Ireland, who was 41 when he ran 3:58.15. The oldest person to break five minutes was Derek Turnbull of New Zealand, clocking 4:56.4 at age 65. The oldest under six minutes was Scotty Carter of Massachusetts with a 5:57.2 at 75. The oldest under seven minutes was Harold Chapson of Hawaii with a 6:43.3 at age 80.
- The fastest mile by a high school runner is 3:53.43, by Alan Webb of Virginia on May 27, 2001.
- A two-year study of more than four million high school students during the early 1980s found that the average boy took 7:40 to run a mile. The average girl took 9:51.
- The so-called "metric mile" of 1500 meters is 119 yards, 21 inches short of a Roman mile.
- A 3:42.43 at 1500 meters is the equivalent of a 4:00.00 mile.
- The current 1500m record of 3:26.00 by El Guerrouj equates to a 3:42.27 mile. Qu Yunxia's women's 1500m world record of 3:50.46 equates to a 4:08.66 mile.
- Daniel Komen's 7:20.67 world record at 3,000m is equal to 7:56 for two miles.
- On a scientifically-based table of comparative performance, a 4:00.00 mile is equal in effort to a 2:12:30 marathon. The current WR of 3:43.13 equates to a 2:03:10 marathon.
- The fastest mile by a racewalker is 5:38.2, on an indoor track.
- The record for running a mile backward is 6:02.35, by D. Joseph James of India on August 10, 2002.
- Based on the world 1500m record of 1:46.43, a world champion speedskater can cover a mile in about 1:55, a champion rollerskater in about 2:25.
- Based on the world 1500m record of 14:34.56, a freestyle swimmer should be able to complete a mile in about 15:44, about the same time as a fitness walker.
- The world record for a mile by a race horse is 1:32.1.
- If world-class sprinters were able to maintain top speed for a full mile, they would cover a mile in 2:16 to 2:17.
- The fastest any human has covered a mile without mechanical aid is 19.45 seconds. That is based on the 185 miles-per-hour reached in a free fall from a plane. At the other extreme, the last mile up Mt. Everest has been known to take a week or longer.
- A "country mile" is a distance that seems a lot longer than a Roman mile. No one has yet broken four minutes for a country mile.
- Roger Bannister did not run the first four-minute mile. An exact 4:00.00 was first achieved on September 3, 1958 by England's Derek Ibbotson in a fourth-place finish behind Herb Elliott at White City.

Two of the best things going in American pop culture will meet early next year, when Patton Oswalt appears as a guest star on FX's acclaimed crime drama Justified.
According to TVLine, Oswalt will play Bob Sweeney, "a local constable who went to high school with Raylan [Timothy Olyphant] and has been hired by the lawman to watch Arlo's house." It's unclear if the spot is for one episode or multiple ones.
Oswalt has been on quite a roll the last couple of years, with a successful standup career, an excellent book called "Zombie Spaceship Wasteland," one of the more entertaining Twitter feeds and a well-received dramatic role in last year's movie "Young Adult."
He should fit in well in Harlan County, but I'm waiting for some network to give Patton a Louie-like show.

Picture: Jake Shears and Gina Gershon Opening party for Juicy Couture 5th Avenue flagship store - inside New York City, USA - 06.11.08
Jake Shears is glad the forthcoming Scissor Sisters album has been leaked online - because the response from fans has been "amazing".
The band's third studio release, Night Work, isn't due to go on sale until 28 June (10), but the tracks have already been illegally uploaded onto the internet.
However, Shears remains upbeat about the album's early outing, insisting the group's followers will help boost sales by creating an online "buzz" about their new material.
He tells Britain's Daily Star, "I'm actually really excited about the leak because the response has been so amazing. I went on the internet and had a look around and I haven't seen any negative comments.
"The people downloading it will be our hardcore fans who will want to hear it before everyone else. If they like the album it means they're going to tell everyone that it's good so it will get a buzz going before the record comes out."

ACROSS MISSISSIPPI — The Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce is urging farmers to practice extreme caution when making pesticide applications this spring when especially high winds increase the chance of pesticide drift.
Applicators are reminded to pay close attention to wind speed, direction, and the distance to neighboring crops and other sensitive areas before spraying.
In the interest of public and environmental safety, Bureau of Plant Industry inspectors are actively patrolling the state to monitor pesticide applications. Individuals who are observed spraying in high winds or in a negligent manner will be cited. Penalties for these negligent applications can be up to $5,000 per violation.
Current state regulations prohibit aerial applicators from making any herbicide applications in winds exceeding 10 miles per hour and require individuals utilizing ground spray equipment to follow wind restrictions as indicated on the pesticide label.

EVERETT — The Everett Silvertips arrived at training camp bigger, stronger and fitter.
Now they're hoping that equates to playing better.
Everett began preparations for the 2012-13 WHL season Thursday with the opening of training camp at the Comcast Community Ice Rink, and they did so with several of the players providing clear visual evidence of the work they put in during the offseason.
"Everyone worked hard this summer and is here to compete," said overage winger Cody Fowlie, who is the poster child for those offseason efforts after adding 20 pounds of muscle. "I think it's going to be good competition."
Everett is coming off a season where it finished 22-40-2-8 and only secured a playoff spot on the last day of the season, before being swept in the first round by Tri-City. The Tips want to improve upon that showing this season, and offseason training was the first step in achieving that goal.
"You look at some of the guys and physically they look good, their (off-ice physical testing) was real good," Everett coach Mark Ferner said. "Now it's just a matter of making sure we're in good shape on the ice. Some guys put a lot of hard work in this summer. At the end of last season we talked about how that's going to be the foundation of our season, how much hard work they put in, and they did. I know they're excited to come back, and today I was pretty impressed."
Thursday was the first opportunity to put that offseason training to use. The players went through practice sessions in the morning, then participated in scrimmages in the afternoon. While the players are not yet in midseason form, and although some of the newer players showed some nerves, play in the scrimmages was generally spirited.
"The first day went well," Fowlie said. "I think the (afternoon scrimmages) felt a lot better than practice in the morning. We got the rust off the boys in the morning and came out flying (in the scrimmages)."
The first day of training camp also turned out to be a crash course for the youngsters. In past years training camp scrimmages consisted of one-minute shifts that ended with the horn being blown, which kept the veterans playing against the veterans and the rookies playing against the rookies. This year the horn was taken out and line changes were made on the fly.
Therefore, the rookies frequently found themselves on the ice against the veterans.
"It was way different playing with them than against bantams," said 15-year-old defenseman Kevin Davis, Everett's first-round pick in this year's bantam draft. "They're so much bigger to move in front of the net.
"It was intimidating."
Nevertheless, Ferner was pleased with the way the younger players rose to the challenge.
"I thought it was pretty good, to be quite honest with you," Ferner said about the first day of camp. "I think the young kids came in here and made a real positive impression. I think they're pushing our older guys. I'm not saying our older guys were terrible because I know they came here in pretty good shape. But I think it speaks volumes about the parity in camp."
That played a part in prompting a format change. The original camp format had each of the four teams practicing in the morning each day, then playing one scrimmage in the afternoon. However, the Tips decided to scrap the morning practices after the first day and instead will have each team scrimmage once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
"The first day was more about feeling good, getting them out there and being familiar with one another," Ferner explained about the change. "We have some real tough decisions to be made, and those decisions aren't going to be made in practice, they're going to be made watching these kids play."
Today's scrimmages begin at 8:30 a.m.
Slap shots
Two of Everett's top returning forwards are not skating in scrimmages. Overage winger Ryan Harrison is dealing with a case of mononucleosis, while center Kohl Bauml is still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. The Tips expect Bauml to be ready at some point during the preseason. They hope Harrison will be ready by the time he finishes his four-game suspension that carried over from last season's playoffs. … Also not taking part Thursday was returning goaltender Austin Lotz. However Lotz, who was held out as a precautionary measure because of a minor hamstring strain, should be able to return during camp.
