Vancouver International Women in Film Festival
March 6 to 9 | VIFF's Vancity Theatre
Tickets & Info: womeninfilm.ca
Steven Spielberg's Jaws inspired a lot of nightmares. It also inspired Vancouver filmmaker Karen Lam to create some nightmares of her own, including Evangeline, her new movie that kicks of the 2014 Vancouver International Women in Film Festival on March 8 (International Women's Day).
Jaws, the movie that terrified everyone in 1975, is the first movie Lam's father took her to see in a theatre. She was five.
"I asked him last year why he took me to Jaws and he said, 'You liked fish,'" said Lam. "My dad has a really weird sense of humour."
This sense of humour clearly runs in the family; Lam laughs frequently as she talks to The Sun about her new movie and the meaning of horror.
She describes Evangeline as a "female revenge fantasy" that started as a superhero movie.
"It wasn't a romantic comedy," said Lam. "I think I was channeling something like The Crow. I started with the concept of a superhero who hunted serial killers in her own way."
Her superhero's mission was inspired by the tragic reality of Vancouver's missing women.
"I'm a news junkie so most of my mornings start with me reading The Vancouver Sun cover to cover and I follow stories and I get really involved," says Lam. "And most of the ideas I come up with start with a really political bent."
And most of those ideas turn into cinematic horror — or at least something scary — since "horror" is in the eye of the beholder and film festival programmers.
"I think Women in Film considers (Evangeline) 'horror.' In Horrorland they think I do 'thrillers,'" says Lam with a laugh. "In my mind I make thrillers."
But she admits that she makes thrillers that are more graphic than mainstream fare.
Her new horror/thriller (her second feature) has already screened in Sweden and at Toronto's Blood in the Snow festival, where Lam picked up the award for best director. The movie stars newcomer Kat de Lieva in the title role, Richard Harmon (who just picked up a Leo Award for his supporting role in the sci-fi TV series Continuum) and one of Lam's favourite actors, David Lewis, "who I kill in every film."
Says Lam, "I try to find inventive ways to kill David and occasionally I find out online that someone else killed him in a better way. He'll get harpooned, and I'm like, 'Why didn't I think of harpooning him?'"
Shooting locales included Capilano University and the University of B.C. She also did a bit of guerrilla filmmaking on Hastings Street "and we got yelled at by a prostitute."
"She was like, 'You guys might be filming and you think you're hot shit but I work here and you guys are seriously interrupting my business,'" says Lam.
Born in Toronto and raised in Brandon, Man., Lam moved to Vancouver to study law. While she was working in insurance law, Lam reviewed scripts for BC Film and made short films. "I thought I'd be a producer. Lawyer to producer makes a lot of sense. And then I had a year in which all of my projects imploded."
That was 2005.
"In desperation I wrote this script (for The Cabinet)," she says.
The script, a short Japanese-style horror film, won a National Screen Institute Drama Prize and launched Lam's career behind the camera.
Asked to explain her passion for scaring people, Lam is happy to talk about her lifelong passion for macabre movies. She recalls being an eight-year-old visiting relatives in Hong Kong when her aunts went to see a horror film and came home feeling sick. "They were so freaked out and so ill, so I wanted to go too."
By junior high, Lam and her friends lived for scary movies like Poltergeist. "All of my friends were big horror buffs."
Lam is also game to wax philosophical about why horror matters.
"I think as a society we need it," she says. "It's a place where we channel all our darkest fears and nightmares … And you can use evil in a metaphoric way with human monsters rather than having to deal with the documentary version which, I think, is pretty harsh."
But Lam feels it's always important to remember that unlike mechanical great white sharks, real-life serial killers are nightmare worthy.
"When you look at real-life monsters, it's important to remember that's what they actually are," says Lam. "They really are scumbags."
Women in Film and Television Vancouver launched a new mentorship program in February to help new female actors launch their careers.
The mentors — who will meet with their charges over a six-month period — include Carly Pope, Amanda Tapping, Gabrielle Rose, Ali Liebert, Christine Willes, Sonja Bennett, Luvia Petersen and Pascale Hutton.
The mentees were selected by a jury that included actor-director Jason Priestley and director-writer-producer Gary Harvey. Its first crop of mentees are Laura Adkin, Elora Braden, Jazmine Campanale, Aria DeMaris, Ashley Hunking, Kat Karpoff, Jennifer Kobelt, Jennifer Koenig, Kelly Metzger, Quynh Mi, Tijana Popovic, Sabrina Prada, Briana Rayner, Debra Sears, Olesia Shewchuk, Nicole Shorrock, Jax Smith and Orsy Szabo.
WIFT also sponsored a new mentorship program for screenwriters. The first three mentees are: Rebecca Gibson, mentored by Daegan Fryklind (Bitten); Crystal Wood, paired with Karen Walton (Orphan Black); and Kathleen Hepburn, teamed with Sharon McGowan (Better Than Chocolate). The three mentees are competing to win Best Screenplay, which is presented at the festival's closing night award's ceremony.

Here's every goal in Bahrain's 10-0 thumping of Indonesia, which was already fielding a bunch of junior players due to internal suspensions. Indonesia's goalkeeper was sent off in the third minute, and the floodgates opened.
Bahrain came into play 9 goals back of Qatar in their World Cup qualifying group, so naturally FIFA has opened a "routine" investigation. But whatever bribe Bahrain may or may not have paid, Qatar has more oil. They drew their match with Iran on an 83rd minute score, dashing Bahrain's hopes.

METS: Andrew Brown's pinch-hit 3-run home run lifts New York Mets past Arizona Diamondbacks
PHOENIX >> Andrew Brown's opportunities are few and far between these days and he knows he needs to make the best of them.
He certainly did that on Sunday.
Brown's three-run pinch-hit home run broke open a close game and the New York Mets beat Arizona 9-5 on Sunday.
"Whenever you get a chance you try to do something productive, whether it's moving a runner over, walking, bunting," he said, "whatever plus it can be to keep me here a little bit longer."
Jonathan Niese (4-6), in his first start since June 20, came off the disabled list to go six innings, giving up four runs and seven hits in his first win since May 16.
"I thought he got better as the game went on," New York manager Terry Collins said. "You know it's been awhile since he's been out there. I was very happy with the way he threw."
The Mets took two of three from the Diamondbacks and have won five of six.
The Mets scored four unearned runs in the first, three on first baseman Paul Goldschmidt's fielding error with two outs and the bases loaded.
Aaron Hill's three-run home run cut the lead to 5-4 in the third, but Brown's three-run shot made it a four-run game in the seventh.
Arizona's Cody Ross was carted off the field in the first inning with a dislocated right hip.
Ross stumbled as he approached first base while trying to beat out a grounder, then fell to the ground.
He was grimacing and grabbing his right leg as he was loaded onto the cart. After X-rays, the team announced he had dislocated his hip.
"They took him to the hospital and put it back in," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "They are doing more tests on him to make sure there is no fracture and just evaluate the damage. It is possible he could have surgery, but they have not determined that yet."
The Mets' Wilmer Flores hit his first career home run, a solo shot off Heath Bell in the ninth.
Niese, out for seven weeks with a partially torn rotator cuff, struck out five and walked one.
He called it "a relief" to be back, throwing without pain for the first time since the first few weeks of the season.
"It feels like good," Niese said. "There's nothing like pitching in the big leagues. It's good to get back out there with all the guys."
The Diamondbacks' Zeke Spruill (0-2), in his second major league start, gave up a one-out single to Juan Lagares in the first, then walked Daniel Murphy and Ike Davis to load the bases. Mike Baxter's grounder to first deflected off Goldschmidt's glove and all three runners scored. Anthony Recker's double brought in the fourth run.
It was the fifth error of the season for the normally reliable Goldschmidt.
"I just missed it. I was in position right there.," he said. "It is a play I make every time and right there I didn't. It hurt us, it hurt the bullpen. We had to get the bullpen in early and Zeke had to come out early due to no fault of his own."
After Hill's RBI double in the first cut it to 4-1, the Mets had runners at first and second with one out in the third when Omar Quintanilla singled to center. One run scored, but Cliff Pennington's relay throw from center fielder A.J. Pollock cut down Baxter trying to score from first.
Pollock led off the Arizona fourth with a single, then Goldschmidt drew a one-out walk to bring up Hill, whose shot to left cut New York's lead to 5-4.
In the seventh, Davis drew a one-out walk -- the ninth consecutive time he'd reached base -- and Flores singled. Will Harris relieved Joe Thatcher and Brown's second pinch-hit homer of the season made it 8-4.
Spruill allowed five runs, just one earned, and six hits in three innings. He walked two.
Notes: Ross' injury opened the way for the major league debut of third baseman Matt Davidson, the MVP of this year's Futures Game. Davidson, called up from Triple-A Reno, entered the game when Martin Prado was moved from third to left to take Ross' place. Davidson singled to lead off the sixth for his first major league hit ... The Mets face the Dodgers in Los Angeles starting Monday, with RHP Jenrry Mejia (1-1, 1.96) ERA on the mound for New York against RHP Ricky Nolasco (8-9, 3.95). Arizona wraps up its eight-game homestand with three interleague games against Baltimore. LHP Wade Miley (9-8, 3.56) starts the Monday night's series opener for the Diamondbacks, with RHP Scott Feldman (2-3, 5.70) on the mound for the Orioles. ... To make room for Niese, the Mets optioned RHP Jeremy Hefner to Triple-A Las Vegas. However, Hefner was sent to New York for tests on his ailing right elbow and could wind up on the DL. ... Arizona placed 3B Eric Chavez on the 15-day DL with a left knee strain.

Justice Department to review Comcast, NBC deal
The Justice Department said Wednesday that it will be the agency to scrutinize Comcast Corp.'s plans to buy a controlling stake in NBC Universal's broadcast networks, cable TV channels and movie studios.
The announcement settles questions about whether the federal antitrust review of the deal, announced late last year, will be handled by Justice or the Federal Trade Commission. The Federal Communications Commission must also approve the combination, including the transfer of the NBC broadcast licenses to Comcast.
Even though federal regulators are expected to approve the transaction, many analysts and watchdogs believe they will attach significant conditions because a merger would give the nation's largest cable TV operator control of a vast media empire as well.
Comcast is seeking to buy a 51 percent stake in NBC Universal from General Electric Co., which is acquiring the portion of NBC that it doesn't already own from France's Vivendi SA.
Both the Justice Department and the FCC will focus on the implications of allowing one company to control of both the creation and the distribution of content.
NBC Universal owns the NBC and Telemundo broadcast networks; 26 local TV stations; an array of popular cable channels including CNBC, Bravo and Oxygen; the Universal Pictures movie studio and theme parks; and a stake in Hulu, which distributes free television programming online.
Comcast, meanwhile, has 23.8 million cable TV customers and owns some cable channels already, including E! Entertainment and the Golf Channel, as well as a controlling interest in the Philadelphia 76ers and Flyers.
Comcast's planned acquisition of NBC Universal will face a tough review at the Justice Department, where its antitrust chief, Christine Varney, has vowed to ramp up enforcement and take a tough look at potential abuses of market power.
Still, things may not have been any easier at the FTC, an independent agency whose members are nominated by the White House and approved by the Senate. Although the legal analysis at the two agencies would be the same, the FTC is potentially less insulated from political pressure.
If regulators approve the deal, they are likely to attach conditions that would prevent Comcast from denying access to NBC channels and sports programming to DirecTV Inc., Echostar Corp.'s Dish Network, Verizon Communications Inc.'s FiOS and other competitors. Regulators could also mandate binding arbitration in disputes over access fees and terms.
In addition, regulators are expected to impose obligations that would prohibit Comcast from dropping smaller, independent channels from its lineup. Comcast has been involved in a number of high-profile disputes in recent years over where it places channels on its lineups and how much it pays for them.
Just this week, the Tennis Channel filed a complaint with the FCC accusing Comcast of discriminating against its cable TV network by relegating it to a premium sports tier that reaches only a small number of subscribers, even as Comcast-owned Golf and Versus channels get much wider distribution.
The National Football League had also sued Comcast and complained to the FCC over the cable provider's decision to move the NFL Network to the premium package following a dispute over fees. The impasse nearly led to a blackout of the NFL Network on Comcast, but the two sides settled their dispute in May after the NFL agreed to reduce its price.
Comcast has already tried to address some of the concerns likely to be raised by regulators. When the deal was announced, Comcast and NBC offered several "public interest commitments," including a pledge to continue free, over-the-air broadcasts of the NBC and Telemundo networks and a promise to add new independent channels to Comcast's digital cable lineup.

Clarke confident about his fitness for Test against India
AUSTRALIAN captain Michael Clarke has never missed a Test through injury since making his debut against India at Bangalore in 2004 and has no intention of changing that statistic now.
He's confident that he'll overcome a hamstring injury and will be fit to be in the line-up for the first Test against India starting in Delhi on Friday week.
Clarke injured his right hamstring in the fourth ODI against the Windies at the SCG on Friday, which caused him to miss the final game in the series at the MCG on Sunday, but he said his rehab was going well before flying out of Sydney yesterday to join his teammates already in Chennai.
"There's so much time I don't think there will be any doubt I'll be fit for the first Test match," Clarke said.
"I'm feeling much better. I've had four days of recovery, rehab and a lot of physio, I'm certainly on the mend.
"I've got some time when I arrive in India to get myself 100 per cent fit as well, that's very positive for me."
The Australians will play a two-day game, which started in Chennai yesterday, and a three-day match against India A, also in Chennai, starting on Saturday, before the four-Test series begins.
Clarke said there was plenty at stake in the warm-up games as selectors are far from settled on a Test line-up.
"I think it's very open, hence the fact we've sent players in three different stages to get over there as soon as possible to prepare and get used to conditions," Clarke said.
"All the players will have an opportunity to make some runs and take some wickets, but most importantly get used to those conditions and then we'll work out the XI from there."
One spot that might prove to give selectors a headache is who will open, with Ed Cowan and Shane Watson potentially locked in a battle to join David Warner against the new ball.
Clarke gave nothing away.
"I think it's a really positive sign that we've got so many options in our squad. Obviously Shane needs to come back into the line-up somewhere," he said.
"I've said though, it's a lot different now that Watto's now bowling. As an all-rounder I think he walks into any team; as a batsman there's a much bigger pool of players.
"We need to work out what our best batting line-up is that compliments the team, and we'll go from there."
Testing time
- 1st Test: Delhi Feb 22- Feb 26
- 2nd Test: Mohali Mar 2 - Mar 6
- 3rd Test: Hyderabad Mar 14 - Mar 18
- 4th Test: Chennai Mar 22 - Mar 26

Remains of Boston bombing suspect claimed
- Bombing suspect%27s wife said earlier she would relinquish the remains to the Tsarnaev family
- The cause of death will not be released until the death certificate is filed at City Hall
A mortuary familiar with Muslim services will handle funeral arrangements for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died in a gunbattle with police after an intense manhunt, a funeral director said Friday.
Peter Stefan, owner of Graham Putnam and Mahoney Funeral Parlors in Worcester confirmed his facility will handle Tsarnaev's arrangements but he could not confirm whether he has possession of the body.
Stefan said everybody deserves a dignified burial service no matter the circumstances of their death and he is prepared for protests. He added that arrangements have yet to be worked out.
Several protesters showed up outside a North Attleborough funeral home Thursday night where Tsarnaev's body was taken following its release by the state medical examiner.
Timothy Nay of the Dyer-Lake Funeral Home said he is no longer in possession of the body.
Authorities are now closer to being able to make public Tsarnaev's cause of death.
Tsarnaev's remains were released at 5:30 p.m. Thursday by the Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to the funeral service retained by Tsarnaev's family, spokesman Terrel Harris said.
The medical examiner's office does not make public the name of the family member who claimed the body or the funeral home that is handling the remains, he said. Tsarnaev's widow, Katherine Russell, issued a statement earlier this week saying she would relinquish her rights to his remains to his family.
The medical examiner determined the cause of death Monday, but the death certificate will not become public until the funeral service files it at Boston City Hall, Harris said. City Hall is closed for the day, so the death certificate will not be filed today.
Tsarnaev, 26, died April 19 after a gunfight with police in Watertown, Mass. Police said he was walking toward police, shooting, when he ran out of ammunition. Police tackled him and had him on the ground when his brother, Dzhokhar, ran over him while fleeing the scene.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, is charged with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill and is being held in a prison hospital while he recovers from gunshot wounds.

HP Faces Trouble on Every Side Ahead of Earnings Report
When it reports quarterly earnings on Wednesday, Hewlett-Packard will give the latest update on efforts by CEO Meg Whitman to turn the troubled technology giant around.
After last week's huge earnings miss by Dell and news last month about the first earnings miss in eight years by IBM, it's hard to imagine a scenario where HP's circumstances look any rosier than they did three months ago. Whitman and CFO Lesjak will probably make an effort to remind shareholders and analysts that the turnaround they've been promising isn't expect to become apparent until sometime in 2014.
Analysts are expecting HP to report per-share profits of 81 cents on sales of $28.1 billion and to forecast earnings of 84 cents or better on sales of $27.8 billion for the quarter ending in July.
Here's the rundown of rough spots hitting other companies that will probably factor in to HP's results:
- PCs: Sales of personal computers are showing the largest declines since records have been kept. HP remains the world's largest vendor of PCs, which accounted for more than 28 percent of sales last quarter. Especially aggressive pricing by Dell hasn't helped.
- Printers: The other category where HP leads the world, its printing business, accounted for $5.8 billion or more than 20 percent of revenue last quarter. Weak results from Lexmark and Xerox don't augur well for HP generally. A recent product refresh by HP might help a little.
- Enterprise: Server sales are likely to be under pressure along with PCs and printers. Dell executives including CEO Michael Dell have been talking publicly about how Dell the company appeared to gain share in recent reports by IDC and Gartner. On Wednesday we'll see if they've been speaking too soon. If they are, then expect weak results from the Enterprise Group, which accounted for 24 percent of HP's sales last quarter.
- Enterprise Services: HP has been re-investing in the services group, the group largely made up of the former technology services firm EDS, and those investments aren't expected to pay off anytime in the near future. As Chris Whitmore of Deutsche Bank Securities wrote in a note to clients today, "Increasing the size and depth of HP's Services bench will likely take multiple quarters before translating into improving market share performance. As a result, we continue to expect a long, slow turnaround." The unit accounted for more than 20 percent of sales last quarter.

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, It's Off to the Asteroid Mines We Go?
Aug 13, 2013 4:45 PM PT
Researchers in the UK recently identified 12 small asteroids close enough to Earth to be used in mining operations that could begin as early as 2021.
The research was part of a larger effort by both private and public institutions to learn more about the potential for tapping into asteroids that could contain large deposits of valuable resources including platinum, iron-nickel ore or gold. Even if some of the resources were too expensive to carry back to Earth, certain minerals could be tapped to help refuel spacecraft already in orbit.
"If material or volatiles extracted from an asteroid could be used in space to feed an engine or to save launched mass from Earth -- water for life support, for radiation shielding -- the costs of space operations may drop considerably," said Daniel Garcia Yarnoz, PhD Researcher at the Advanced Space Concepts Laboratory at the University of Strathclyde and the lead researcher on the paper.
Of course, mining for those precious and industrial metals far away from Earth comes with several challenges. One of the technical difficulties is to find "easily retrievable objects," or EROs, that can be transported to Earth by changing their velocity by less than 500 meters per second. The EROs also must be maneuvered into an accessible orbit, meaning an L1 or L2 Lagrangian point, an area in space where the gravity of the Earth and the sun balance out.
Found 12
The researchers at the University of Strathclyde scoured a list of about 9,000 near-Earth objects and identified 12 that fit the criteria for possible mining. One of the asteroids, 2006 RH120, could be sent into orbit by changing its velocity by as little as 58 meters per second, according to the scientists, who said it could be done as soon as February of 2021. If it were set into motion then, the researchers calculated it could reach its destination in five years.
Since that mission would be on a smaller scale and using today's technology, that is a realistic time frame, said Leslie Gertsch, senior research investigator and deputy director of the Rock Mechanics and Explosives Research Center at the Missouri University of Science and Technology.
"Retrieving an asteroid of 2-5 meters diameter is certainly realistic in that time frame, within the constraints laid out in the Yarnoz et al. paper," Gertsch told TechNewsWorld. "Mining enough asteroids of that size to be economically viable is another thing altogether."
NASA Wants In, Too
The research was released around the same time NASA announced plans for a mission designed to help scientists learn more about the resources and experience needed to mine asteroids. The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is set to launch in September of 2016 and is expected to reach the asteroid Bennu in October of 2018.
Once there, it will scout the asteroid, looking for clues about its formation and the path of its orbit to better determine if mining could pose any threats to Earth. The OSIRIS-REx is then scheduled to return with samples from Bennu that will provide scientists with more clues about the possibilities for mining asteroids.
NASA's effort, together with research that is currently under way, will aid scientists and potential investors in understanding both the challenges and possibilities associated with asteroid mining, said Gertsch.
"The biggest hurdles from the commercial perspective are poorly known costs and poorly known markets; both aspects must be well understood to make a viable case to investors," she told TechNewsWorld.
"Technical questions center on 'How much will it cost?' rather than 'How can it be done?' In the beginning, it will be very expensive and inefficient. Costs will go down and efficiency will go up as experience is gained."
Overcoming Obstacles
The overall lessons about space exploration that could develop from studying asteroids could also be a catalyst for helping interest and public funding in asteroid mining, said Garcia Yarnoz.
"Some of the main limitations can also be the driving forces or part of the solution," he told TechNewsWorld.
"The cost per kilogram in orbit -- of the order of US$10,000 -- and the limitation in volume on a rocket fairing [are] pushing the industry either towards more efficient launch systems, smart deployable structures, and/or hopefully in the near future, in-site resource utilization," Yarnoz explained.
"The synergies between other asteroid manipulation endeavors may also aid the growth in the industry," he continued.
"The current threat posed by asteroids can spark international efforts to detect, catalog, monitor and characterize the asteroid family of NEOs," Yarnoz observed. "Several deflection techniques, such as laser ablation, have additional applications for opportunistic science or material extraction. Their development could kill two birds with one stone."

'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' dog 'Cheddar' dies
The dog who played Cheddar on hit sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine has died.
The death of the 13-year-old corgi, whose real name was Stewart, was announced by its owner in a heartfelt Instagram post on Tuesday.
"My precious boy Stewart crossed the rainbow bridge today," an image of the pooch in a cart at the beach was captioned. "We went to the beach (his favourite place) where he frolicked in the surf and then enjoyed a picnic lunch at In & Out burgers."
The emotional tribute also revealed Stewart was put to sleep on the beach: "Our veterinarian met us there later and Stewart went to sleep peacefully in my arms while listening to the sounds of the ocean," the post continued. "He was a one in a million kind of dog, he was my supaah staah."
Bosses at the network E4, which airs Brooklyn Nine-Nine in the U.K. also honoured the beloved pet.
"R.I.P Cheddar. You served the people of Brooklyn and the 99th Precinct with distinction," a statement posted to Twitter read. "You'll be in our thoughts and our hearts forever."
Stewart portrayed the dog of 99th Police Precinct's Commanding Officer Capt. Holt, played by Andre Braugher. He was also featured as the ring bearer at the wedding Andy Samberg and Melissa Fumero's characters' wedding.

Browser plugins
There are two types of browser plugins, based on the plugin API they use:
- Netscape plugin API (NPAPI): these plugins work in most smaller browsers (Firefox supports only the Flash Player plugin, Chromium and Opera do not support these plugins).
- Pepper plugin API (PPAPI): these plugins work in Chromium (and Chrome), Opera and Vivaldi.
Most plugins on this page are NPAPI-only, unless noted otherwise.
- 1 Flash players
- 2 PDF viewer
- 3 Citrix
- 4 Java (IcedTea)
- 5 Pipelight
- 6 Multimedia playback
- 7 MozPlugger
- 8 Troubleshooting
- 8.1 Flash Player: no sound
- 8.2 Flash Player: blocking sound for other applications or delayed playback
- 8.3 Flash Player: performance
- 8.4 Flash Player: black bars in full screen playback on multi-headed setups
- 8.5 Firefox: old Flash Player version shown after upgrade
- 8.6 Firefox: plugins are installed but not working
Flash players
Adobe Flash Player
The package you will need to install depends on the browser you use.
- The NPAPI version can be installed with the flashplugin package.
- The PPAPI version can be installed with the pepper-flash package.
- Standalone version can be installed with the flashplayer-standaloneAUR package.
- Some Flash apps may require the ttf-ms-fontsAUR package in order to properly render text.
- The freshplayerpluginAUR package provides an experimental adapter to use pepper-flash with NPAPI based browsers like Firefox. It can be configured (e.g. for enabling HW-acceleration) by copying
If you are using Firefox, please make sure to follow this instruction first.
To change the preferences (privacy settings, resource usage, etc.) of Flash Player, right click on any embedded Flash content (for instance adobe's flash home) and choose Settings from the menu.
You can also use the Flash settings file
/etc/adobe/mms.cfg. Gentoo has an extensively commented example mms.cfg.
To enable video decoding with hardware video acceleration (NPAPI-only), add/uncomment the following line:
EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode = 1
It might also be required to add/uncomment the following line:
OverrideGPUValidation = 1
Multiple monitor full-screen fix
When using a multiple monitor setup, or swapping between virtual desktops, it is possible to lose focus on a fullscreen flash window. In such a case, the adobe flash-plugin will automatically exit full-screen mode. This may not be to your liking.
Unfortunately, this behavior is hard coded into the binary. In order to change this behavior it is necessary to alter the binary.
Fixing this issue only works for the NPAPI plugin and this issue can be fixed via 2 ways.
- Using the flashplugin-focusfixAUR[broken link: package not found].
- After the package has been installed, backup
# cp /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so.backup
- Then, you will need to alter that file using a hex editor like ghex. You must open it with root privileges obviously.
# ghex /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
- Using the hex editor find the string
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW. In ghex the readable string is on the right hand side of the window, and the hex is on the left, you are trying to locate the readable string. It should be easy to find using a search function.
- Upon finding
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOWrewrite the line, but do not change the length of the line, for example
- Save the binary, and restart any processes using the plugin (as this will crash any instance of the plugin in use.)
Playing DRM-protected content
See Flash DRM content.
Gnash is a free (libre) alternative to Adobe Flash Player. It is available both as a standalone player for desktop computers and embedded devices, as well as a browser plugin, and supports the SWF format up to version 7 (with versions 8 and 9 under development) and about 80% of ActionScript 2.0.
Gnash can be installed with the gnash-gitAUR package.
Lightspark is another attempt to provide a free alternative to Adobe Flash aimed at supporting newer Flash formats. Lightspark has the ability to fall back on Gnash for old content, which enables users to install both and enjoy wider coverage. Although it is still very much in development, it supports some popular sites[dead link 2020-02-23].
Lightspark can be installed with the lightspark-gitAUR package.
PDF viewer
PDF.js is a PDF renderer created by Mozilla and built using HTML5 technologies.
It is included in Firefox.
For Chromium and Google Chrome it is available as extension in the Chrome Web Store.
External PDF viewers
To use an external PDF viewer you need #MozPlugger.
If you want to use MozPlugger with Evince, for example, you have to find the lines containing
/etc/mozpluggerrc file and modify the corresponding line after
GV() as below:
repeat noisy swallow(evince) fill: evince "$file"
evince with something else if it is not your viewer of choice).
When using Firefox, you may need to change 2 values in
- Change
pdfjs.disabled's value to true;
- Change
plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types's value to an empty value.
Then restart Firefox to use the plugin.
See Citrix.
Java (IcedTea)
To enable Java support in your browser, you have two options: the open-source OpenJDK (recommended) or Oracle's proprietary version. For details about why OpenJDK is recommended see [1].
To use OpenJDK, you have to install the IcedTea browser plugin, icedtea-web.
If you want to use Oracle's JRE, install the jreAUR package.
See Pipelight.
Multimedia playback
Many browsers support the GStreamer framework to play multimedia inside HTML5
<audio> and
<video> elements. Check the optional dependencies of the browser package (or of the web engine, e.g. webkit2gtk or qt5-webkit) to see if GStreamer is supported. See GStreamer#Installation for the description of each plugin.
For media formats that are not natively supported by your browser (e.g. most browsers don't play
.mkv files), the following plugins are available:
- Rosa Media Player Plugin — Qt-based NPAPI plugin that uses MPlayer as backend.
- VLC Plugin — NPAPI plugin that uses VLC as backend.
MozPlugger can be installed with the mozpluggerAUR package.
MozPlugger is a Mozilla plugin which can show many types of multimedia inside your browser. To accomplish this, it uses external programs such as MPlayer, xine, Evince, OpenOffice, TiMidity, etc. To modify or add applications to be used by MozPlugger just modify the
/etc/mozpluggerrc file.
For example, MozPlugger uses OpenOffice by default to open
doc files. To change it to use LibreOffice instead, look for the OpenOffice section:
... ### OpenOffice define([OO],[swallow(VCLSalFrame) fill: ooffice2.0 -nologo -norestore -view $1 "$file" swallow(VCLSalFrame) fill: ooffice -nologo -norestore -view $1 "$file" swallow(VCLSalFrame) fill: soffice -nologo $1 "$file"]) ...
and add LibreOffice at the beginning of the list:
... ### LibreOffice/OpenOffice define([OO],[swallow(VCLSalFrame) fill: libreoffice --nologo --norestore --view $1 "$file" swallow(VCLSalFrame) fill: ooffice2.0 -nologo -norestore -view $1 "$file" swallow(VCLSalFrame) fill: ooffice -nologo -norestore -view $1 "$file" swallow(VCLSalFrame) fill: soffice -nologo $1 "$file"]) ...
doc files.
As another simple example, if you want to open
cpp files with your favorite text editor (we will use Kate) to get syntax highlighting, just add a new section to your
mozpluggerrc file:
text/x-c++:cpp:C++ Source File text/x-c++:hpp:C++ Header File repeat noisy swallow(kate) fill: kate -b "$file"
To change the default of MPlayer so that mpv is used instead, change the appropriate lines such that:
... ### MPlayer #define(MP_CMD,[mplayer -really-quiet -nojoystick -nofs -zoom -vo xv,x11 -ao esd,alsa,oss,arts,null -osdlevel 0 $1 </dev/null]) define(MP_CMD,[mpv -really-quiet $1 </dev/null]) #define(MP_EMBED,[embed noisy ignore_errors: MP_CMD(-xy $width -wid $window $1)]) define(MP_EMBED,[embed noisy ignore_errors: MP_CMD(--autofit=$width -wid $window $1)]) #define(MP_NOEMBED,[noembed noisy ignore_errors maxaspect swallow(MPlayer): MP_CMD($1)]) define(MP_NOEMBED,[noembed noisy ignore_errors maxaspect swallow(mpv): MP_CMD($1)]) ... #define(MP_AUDIO,[mplayer -quiet -nojoystick $1 </dev/null]) define(MP_AUDIO,[mpv -really-quiet $1 </dev/null]) #define(MP_AUDIO_STREAM,[controls stream noisy ignore_errors: mplayer -quiet -nojoystick $1 "$file" </dev/null]) define(MP_AUDIO_STREAM,[controls stream noisy ignore_errors: mpv -really-quiet $1 "$file" </dev/null]) ...
For a more complete list of MozPlugger options see mozplugger(7).
Flash Player: no sound
Flash Player outputs its sound only through the default ALSA device, which is number 0. If you have multiple sound devices (a very common example is having a sound card and HDMI output in the video card), then your preferred device may have a different number.
For a list of available devices with their respective numbers, run:
$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: DX [Xonar DX], device 0: Multichannel [Multichannel] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: DX [Xonar DX], device 1: Digital [Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
In this case, the HDMI output is
card 0 and the sound card is
card 1. To make your sound card the default for ALSA, create the file
.asoundrc in your home directory, with the following content:
pcm.!default { type hw card 1 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 }
Flash Player: blocking sound for other applications or delayed playback
If sound is delayed within Flash videos or Flash stops sound from any other application, then make sure you do not have
snd_pcm_oss module loaded:
$ lsmod | grep snd_pcm_oss
You can unload it:
# rmmod snd_pcm_oss
and restart the browser to see if it helps.
Flash Player: performance
Adobe's Flash plugin has some serious performance issues, especially when CPU frequency scaling is used. There seems to be a policy not to use the whole CPU workload, so the frequency scaling governor does not clock the CPU any higher. To work around this issue, see CPU frequency scaling#Switching threshold
Flash Player: black bars in full screen playback on multi-headed setups
The Flash plugin has a known bug where the full screen mode does not really work when you have a multi-monitor setup. Apparently, it incorrectly determines the full screen resolution, so the full screen Flash Player fills the correct monitor but gets scaled as if the monitor had the resolution of the total display area.
To fix this, you can use the "hack" described here. Simply download the source from the link given on the page, and follow the instructions in the README.
Firefox: old Flash Player version shown after upgrade
Solution for Firefox: delete file "pluginreg.dat" in user's profile directory.
- Close firefox
- Go to
- Delete file "pluginreg.dat"
Firefox will automatically rebuild this file once it is started again. Make sure to substitute <username> and <profile_folder> with the appropriate information.
Firefox: plugins are installed but not working
A common problem is that the plugin path is unset. This typically occurs on a new install, when the user has not re-logged in before running Firefox after the installation. Test if the path is unset:
$ printenv MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH
If unset, then either re-login, or source
/etc/profile.d/mozilla-common.sh and start Firefox from the same shell:
$ source /etc/profile.d/mozilla-common.sh && firefox

Via Guy Benson, who must have leapt out of his skin when he first saw this clip on Morning Joe yesterday. Asked about allegations that the select committee on Benghazi is nothing more than a partisan witch hunt, Chuck Todd argued that it looks that way because all of the questions about Benghazi have been answered. However, listen to which questions Todd refers, and what he says afterward:
I'm going to dissent, but only in part. Here's the case against Todd from Guy, paragraph breaks my own:
Yes, there have been a number of investigations into the deadly raid, including revelatory House hearings, a Senate report, and a State Department-mandated review. The House proceedings answered some questions, but raised others. The Senate Intelligence panel's report concluded that the attacks were preventable, and rebuked the Obama administration for "unnecessarily hamper[ing] the committee's review." The State Department's "Accountability Review Board"declined to interview key players, including Secretary Clinton. None of the Benghazi survivors have testified publicly.
Furthermore, new information and perspectives have come to light within the last few weeks. A court-ordered document release turned up a relevant, previously-withheld email that further undermines the White House's official version of events regarding their post-attack talking points, and an Air Force General who was on duty at AFRICOM that night said the military never received a request for help from the State Department during the eight-hour ordeal. He went on to suggest that the US government should have attempted a rescue mission, which other military officers have testified wouldn't have been logistically feasible. A majority of the House of Representatives — including a handful of Democrats — clearly believes that unanswered questions remain. A large majority of the American public is skeptical of the White House's veracity and supports keeping the investigation open and ongoing. Two former top CIA officials have endorsed the proceedings.
Most Beltway Democrats, and apparently Chuck Todd, dissent. Todd is a journalist. It's therefore a bit jarring to hear him declare that "all" questions pertaining to a controversial matter have been answered, thus intimating that the issue is settled — particularly after previously-unseen evidence has just recently emerged.
Be sure to read Guy's post to see at least ten questions about Benghazi that have gone unanswered. However, the list itself tends to validate Todd's larger point that the select committee has to focus on more than just the talking points. Only two of Guy's questions deal with the false narrative used by the White House in the immediate aftermath of the attacks. The rest of it has to do with the larger policy and competency issues that Todd explicitly says are legitimate areas of inquiry — and he's right.
In fact, I made the same argument last week in my column for The Week:
The bigger question about Benghazi is not about the cover-up, but the incompetence that led to the attack on the anniversary of 9/11 and the lack of response during it. That starts with the decision to decapitate the dictatorship of Moammar Gadhafi without planning for the predictable power vacuum that resulted, in a region already known for its Islamist terror activities.
Last week, retired Air Force Gen. Robert Lovell testified before Congress that the U.S. military should have responded immediately to the attack. As the commander of intelligence services for the U.S. Africa Command at the time of the attack, Lovell testified that no one seriously thought that it was anything other than a deliberate, planned offensive on the diplomatic post left vulnerable despite ever-increasing warnings about terrorist activity in and around Benghazi, especially with al Qaeda affiliates. The testimony raises the question — again — as to why the U.S. military was not prepared to respond to a terrorist attack in the AFRICOM area of responsibility on the anniversary of 9/11, especially in an area known to have rapidly escalating enemy activity.
That question becomes more acute as the situation in Libya continues to deteriorate. Daily Beastnational security correspondent Eli Lake reports that the region has now been flooded with radical Islamist terrorists from around the world, eager to operate within the failed state of Libya that the NATO intervention created. One counterterrorism contractor calls it "Scumbag Woodstock," while another intelligence official calls eastern Libya "a jihadist melting pot." The situation presents a threat to the region and to the U.S. far beyond what existed three years ago, before Obama intervened on behalf of the rebels.
The select committee should focus on that larger context of Benghazi, the editorial board of The Washington Posturged this week, asking Republicans to eschew the cover-up for the "actual failings in Libya" from Obama and his administration.
"The Obama administration and its NATO allies bear responsibility for this mess because, having intervened to help rebels overthrow Gadhafi, they then swiftly exited without making a serious effort to help Libyans establish security and build a new political order," they wrote. "Congress might usefully probe why the administration allowed a country in which it initiated military operations to slide into chaos."
We haven't actually heard all of the answers about what happened during the attack or in the hours afterward that produced a deceptive narrative that oh-so-coincidentally provided cover on these larger questions. But even Todd knows that these are the larger questions, and focusing exclusively on the talking points — which Gowdy pledges not to do, by the way — ends up serving the same White House purposes.

New Aid Available to Students Who Take Rigorous High School Courses
The Minnesota Office of Higher Education reminds students planning to attend college next fall to apply now for financial aid. Beginning January 1, students and families may submit financial aid applications for the fall 2008 term. A single application - the Free Application for Federal Student Aid - can determine students' eligibility for a wide range of federal, state and college-specific financial aid.
"You will never know what you are missing if you don't apply for financial aid," said Susan Heegaard, director of the Minnesota Office of Higher Education. "It costs nothing to apply. Many students and families are surprised to find they qualify for some financial aid."
The FAFSA is submitted to the federal government and the results are then forwarded to the colleges designated by the student on the form. With this information, colleges and universities construct a financial aid package for the student and typically send the information to the student in a letter.
The FAFSA may be completed online at fafsa.ed.gov. Paper applications can be obtained by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3243 or downloading the form at studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa. Students returning to school who completed the FAFSA last year should file the Renewal FAFSA application.
New this year is a state scholarship for students who complete a rigorous course of study in high school. The Achieve Scholarship is a one-time award of $1,200 to Minnesota students whose families' Adjusted gross income is less than $75,000 and who has completed a series of college-preparatory courses while in high school. Details on eligibility and a required separate application for this scholarship are available at www.ohe.state.mn.us/achieve. A grant with similar academic requirements is available through the federal government for students with financial need. Details on this program are available at www.ohe.state.mn.us/ac.
"Completing the FAFSA can take time, but it's a worthwhile effort," said Susan Heegaard. "Too many students and families rule out some or all their college options, based on the sticker prices they hear about. College is a huge investment. But financial aid can bring the price of college into reach for many."
Detailed information on state and federal financial aid programs is available from the Minnesota Office of Higher Education at www.ohe.state.mn.us. Families may request a copy of Paying for College under "Publications". The site also includes a financial aid estimator (www.ohe.state.mn.us/estimator). It can provide families with a general sense of eligibility for federal and state aid, federal higher education tax credits and provides information on institutional scholarship available at some Minnesota schools. Students and families needing help completing the FAFSA should contact the student's high school counselor, a college admissions representative or attend one of several scheduled college goal events listed at www.mncollegegoalsunday.org.

Paris, 16 Mar 2006
Tiny stellar 'corpses' have been caught blasting surprisingly powerful X-rays and gamma rays across our galaxy by ESA's gamma-ray observatory Integral. This discovery links these objects to the most magnetically active bodies in the Universe and forces scientists to reconsider just how dead such stellar corpses really are.
Known as anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs), the stellar corpses were first spotted pulsing low-energy X-rays into space during the 1970s by the Uhuru X-ray satellite. AXPs are extremely rare with only seven known to exist. The X-rays were first thought to be produced by matter falling from a companion star onto the AXP.
An alternative was that each AXP is the spinning core of a dead star, known as a neutron star, sweeping beams of energy through space like a cosmic lighthouse. When these beams cross Earth's line of sight, the AXP blinks on and off. However, this scenario required the AXP's magnetic field to be a thousand million times stronger than the strongest steady magnetic field achievable in a laboratory on Earth. Nevertheless, the Integral observations show that the magnetic solution is correct.
The newly detected emission, known to astronomers as a 'hard tail', of high-energy ('hard') X-rays and gamma rays also comes in the form of regular pulses every 6– 12 seconds depending upon which AXP is observed.
Discovered in three of the four AXPs studied, the hard tails have a distinctive energy signature that forces astronomers to consider that they are produced by super-strong magnetic fields.
"The amount of energy in the hard tail is ten to almost one thousand times more than can be explained by a kind of magnetic friction between the spinning AXP and surrounding space," said Wim Hermsen of SRON, the Netherlands Institute for Space Research, Utrecht, who together with SRON colleagues made the observations. This leaves so-called 'magnetic field decay' as the only viable alternative.
Neutron stars with super-strong magnetic fields are dubbed 'magnetars'. Created from the core of a gigantic star that has exploded at the end of its life, each magnetar is only around 15 kilometres in diameter yet contains more than one and a half times the mass of the Sun.
Magnetars are also responsible for the 'soft gamma-ray repeaters' (SGRs), which explosively release massive quantities of energy when catastrophic reorganisations of their magnetic fields spontaneously take place. The big difference between an SGR and an AXP is that the process is continuous rather than explosive in an AXP and less energetic.
"Somehow these objects are tapping the enormous magnetic energy contained beneath their surfaces and funnelling it into space," said Hermsen.
Exactly how that happens is the focus of future work. It is possible that SGRs, of which five are known, turn into AXPs once they have exploded enough of their energy into space. All known AXPs except one are clustered towards the plane of our galaxy, the Milky Way, indicating that they are the result of recent stellar explosions; some are even wreathed in the exploded gaseous remnants of their former stars.
The other known AXP is in a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The hard tails were discovered by Integral serendipitously, thanks to its unique wide-field camera, the Imager on-Board Integral Satellite (IBIS).
"This is one of the things you hope for when you run an observatory like Integral," said Christoph Winkler, ESA's Integral project scientist. As the AXPs prove, the stellar afterlife is more alive than astronomers once thought.
Notes to editors: The findings are accepted for publication in Astronomy and Astrophysics, in a paper titled 'Integral survey of the Cassiopeia region in hard X rays', by P.R. den Hartog and L. Kuiper (SRON, Netherlands Institute for Space Research, Sorbonnelaan, Utrecht), W. Hermsen (SRON and Astronomical Institute 'Anton Pannekoek', Univ. of Amsterdam, The Netherlands), J. Vink and J.J.M. in 't Zand (Univ. of Utrecht and SRON), and W. Collmar (Max-Planck-Institut fur extraterrestrische Physik, Garching, Germany).

Richard Koo, Chief Economist, Nomura Research Institute describes what he calls "Balance Sheet Recession." He struggles for a term for it, but what he describes is exactly what I call "Debt Saturation."
His discussion is good because it shows the dilemma and cycle created by deficit spending - deficits increase until they are no longer tolerated, financial reform comes in and that causes yet another contraction because balance sheets (debt saturation) have not been repaired.
This is why financial reform will fail – because you are saturated with debt, financial reform causes another contraction. Where Mr. Koo misses the boat in discussing Keynes is that the root cause of this dilemma is our monetary system – it is what sets up the need for fiscal stimulus and is the root of that cycle. We will not escape the problems created with debt cycles until we fix our underlying monetary system. (ht Kevin)

Miguel Barquet arrives in a flourish with an armful of tequila bottles.
"Are you ready for your tequila education?" the sommelier asks excitedly.
My wife and I and our 11-year-old daughter nod.
We're on the terrace of Sky Bar at Grand Velas Resort on Mexico's Riviera Maya just as the sun is setting.
Three different-shaped glasses in front of us are quickly filled with premium tequilas, each progressively darker than the other.
Being 11, our daughter only sniffs each, scrunching up her nose.
"Mexicans sip tequila straight," Miguel declares. "We never shoot it. We never take it with lime or salt or make a funny face when we drink it. And most Mexicans never touch a margarita."
We are so looking forward to having many a margarita on this Mexican holiday.
Ironically, we start by sipping white Don Julio tequila out of a shooter glass, concurring with Miguel that it's delightfully grassy, a result of it being distilled from the heart of the agave plant.
The amber-coloured Herradura reposado gets its hue from oak aging and is served in a glass reminiscent of a little brandy snifter.
The Tres Generociones anejo is almost black and so smooth it deserves to be served in the special tequila glass esteemed crystal maker Riedel designed for the drink.
We thank Miguel, feel educated and go into dinner at Grand Velas' Frida. Yes, the restaurant is named after Frida Kahlo, the famous unibrowed Mexican artist.
My wife and I immediately order margaritas, the delicious cocktail of tequila, triple sec, lime juice and ice, served in a salt-rimmed glass with a wedge of lime garnish.
We also have it blended into a refreshingly potent frozen slush, apparently another Mexican no-no.
The tequila tasting is the start of a weeklong Mexican foray that will take us through many more meals and margaritas, frolicking on the beach, lounging by pools, ziplining, swimming in an underground river, visiting the seaside ruins of Tulum, strolling vibrant Fifth Avenue in Playa del Carmen and being pampered at the spa.
Grand Velas, south of Cancun and north of Playa del Carmen, is one of the new breed of luxury resorts that kicks the all-inclusive concept up a serious notch.
Most of the 500 suites at this Leading Hotels of the World property have private plunge pools on their patios and balconies.
The decor is modern, with Mexican touches, and the amenities go on and on and on.
To start, a beach with powdery white sand and aquamarine Caribbean Sea. Then there's the three pool complexes, five à la carte gourmet restaurants and Signature Spa.
Xavier Perez Stone, the slim and bespectacled man in charge at Cocina de Autor, was named best chef in Mexico in 2012 and his resto is the only one at an all-inclusive to receive AAA's Five Diamond rating.
Our cooking class with Xavier includes kitchen and dining room tours and hands-on work to help create the green Mexican sauce, tomato and red pepper skins, raspberry sauce and anise bread that shows up in dishes on the eight course tasting menu we come back to enjoy a couple of hours later.
The Signature Spa earned No. 1 ranking in Latin America from Leading Spas of the World.
My wife and I indulge in the seven progressive hydrotherapies in the modern cathedral-like space that includes pools, steam rooms, saunas and showers, then go Zen during a side-by-side couples therapeutic Velas Maya massage.
We did tear ourselves away from this luxury a couple of times.
Ana Mari Irabien, who works with both Velas Resorts and Riviera Maya Tourism, takes us to nearby Tulum to admire the seaside ancient ruins of the sophisticated Mayan city and stroll Playa del Carmen's famous Fifth Avenue to shop and down margaritas at a sidewalk café.
Ana Mari is the consummate guide. She has her own half-hour TV show on national network Excelsior called Vision Tourism every Saturday.
"I guess I'm a little bit famous," she says nonchalantly.
"Sometimes I get recognized on the street."
Xplor is a nature park created by an asteroid smashing into the earth 65 million years ago. It created the perfect setting for us to swim the underground river, explore caves and zip line over jungle, through caverns and under waterfalls.
Air Transat packages flights and stays at the five-start Grand Velas as part of its Luxury Collection.

Uplift Lofting
You are an experienced kiteboarder and are flying a 15 m, four line inflatable with onshore 18 to 22 kt winds. You just launched your kite and are dragging along the sand waiting for your friends to launch. Your kite comes within 20 ft. (6 m), of the windward face of a six story building as you are dragging along. The next thing you know you are being dragged out of control towards the building at speed with your kite rapidly flying towards vertical or the zenith the closer you come to the building. You think you are going to be dragged into the side of the building when you suddenly are lofted free of the ground. You rapidly rise up off the ground until you are about 20 ft. (6 m) high. You start to panic, fail to control the kite, stall it and fall into the sand along the base of the building. You suffer some broken ribs, a concussion, cuts and bruises. You are not wearing a helmet or impact vest.
What should you do?
1. How to avoid the problem in the first place.
a. Once you launch go offshore without delay. NEVER fly a full sized traction kiteboarding kite on land for any longer than strictly necessary. Wait beyond 300 ft. (100 m) from shore, if you need to wait or delay launching.
b. Avoid onshore wind conditions. If you do fly in them be extra cautious.
c. Never allow your kite to come close, 50 to 100 ft. (15 to 30 m) of the windward face of a vertical surface (cliffs, buildings, dense trees, hills, walls, etc.), in onshore winds. If it looks like you are coming within that distance be prepared to activate your kite depowering leash rapidly.
d. Always wear adequate protective gear, helmet, impact vest, gloves, etc.
2. How to deal with the problem if it is too late to avoid it.
a. Once you are being dragged towards the building activate your depowering leash immediately.
b. Test your leash periodically and inspect it frequently to improve the chances for proper performance.
c. If you are lofted continue to fly the kite at all costs. Your chances of coming through uninjured at this point are not good but may be aided by the following.
d. If you maintain kite control you may glide out of the slipstream and be able to land, hard but potentially with minimal injury.
e. If necessary steer lightly to the left or right to glide out of the standing pressure wave generated by the face of the building. Once you start to fall you have left the slip stream but continue to fly out.
f. Be ready to depower your kite just before impact to disable the kite from dragging your into further problems should you hit hard and lose control.
3. KSI accounts, if any, that are related.
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kitesurf/ ... g%20Safety%
41. Incident # 6 02 1
19. Incident # 1 02 1
7. Incident # 5 01 1
Comments: Uplift lofting could be a relatively common problem considering the frequency of vertical surfaces near launches and onshore wind conditions. The winds don't have to be very high to create such an incident. Twenty knots, perhaps even less could do it. With today's larger kites and higher wind speeds flying up the windward face of the surface relative to the onshore wind speed, causing uplifting lofting is easy to do. You only need to come close enough. How close is close, that is hard to say. One hundred feet is a good practical distance to shoot for. So, you stall a kite on launch and you are dragged downwind, you carve a turn too near shore and let your kite go over the uplift zone, you bust a jump near shore and get dragged downwind, etc. It is easy to do, remember in kiteboarding "distance is your friendâ€

P38 BeCM Repair Service
We have been repairing P38 Range Rover BeCM's for many years and can carry out repairs for any faults or problems that can happen, we have huge stocks of components and parts, including the dificult to obtain processors, relays and mosfets, in fact every component in the BeCM. Repairs when necessary are charged depending upon the work necessary to fix that particular part and does vary, exact cost will be advised before commencing the repair.
All repairs are tested on one of our fully working P38 BeCM's, we have a few of these vehicles in our workshop that allows us to fully test the BeCM under load, in the same situation that the BeCM will be expected to work under in use on your Range Rover.
Typical Repair Cost
The typical cost of repair is about £100.00 plus the testing fee and return carriage at cost. So for the UK this would normally be about £274.90 all in. Exact cost of repair will be advised once testing has been completed.
Should extensive repairs be required (due to serious water damage for example) we may recommend an exchange BeCM is supplied this includes the transfer of the programming from the old to the exchange unit and is a plug and play solution - the cost of an Exchange BeCM is £450.00 plus carriage at cost. (The cost of an exchange BeCM includes the cost of testing of your original BeCM if required)
We Guarantee ALL our BeCM Repairs for TWO YEARS.
Typical Turnaround Time
Most testing and repairs are completed within 48 hours of receipt, with many being completed the same day we receive the BeCM. There can sometimes be delays depending upon the number of units received that day but this is unusual. If you are desperate to get your BeCM back quickly, do let us know and we will do all that we can to help. As an example it is not uncommon for BeCM's to be sent by our customer on a Monday afternoon and receive it back ready to go on the Wednesday morning
"Fantastic Service, They managed to get my BeCM working again after others failed!" ☆☆☆☆☆Tim Green rated Turner Diagnostics stars

John McAfee, the anti-virus software founder who has evaded Belizean authorities in a homicide investigation, said Thursday that he is glad to be in the U.S.A.
"It's good to be back in America," the 67-year-old British native told reporters Thursday outside the Beacon Hotel, the hotel on Ocean Drive where he is staying.
McAfee had been deported to the United States from Guatemala Wednesday after sneaking in illegally from Belize, where police have wanted to question him in connection with the death of a U.S. expatriate who lived near him on an island off Belize's coast.
Thursday, McAfee said that U.S. authorities haven't questioned him since his arrival in Miami. He added that there was no need for them to do so.
"I don't need a lawyer," he said. "I'm not charged with anything."
After arriving from Guatemala, he said his worry now is getting two women, both of whom he says are his girlfriends, to the United States.
He said he would stay in Miami until the women arrived to meet him there. He said they are in Guatemala legally after they, too, recently fled from Belize.
U.S. & World
John McAfee Arrives at Miami International Airport After Release in Guatemala
"I'm waiting here until I get visas for Amy and Samantha," he said. "Their lives are in danger. I'm appealing to the State Department for help."
Police in Belize have wanted to question McAfee about the November killing of Gregory Viant Faull, who lived a couple of houses down from McAfee's compound on Ambergris Caye, off Belize's Caribbean coast.
McAfee on Thursday said he didn't kill Faull.
"Did I kill Mr. Faull?" he said. "No, let me be clear, I have absolutely nothing to do with the murder in Belize."
McAfee said he would be in danger if he turned himself in to Belizean authorities. He accused them of trying to extort money from him.
"When someone storms your property, threatens your life, shoots your dog and then says, 'Are you going to pay us the $2 million?' Wouldn't you think your life might be in danger if you don't pay the money?" he said. "I did not pay the money. I am here."
He said Belizean authorities over time made up several allegations against him, including accusing him of running a drug lab.
"If I were to get back on drugs, I have the resources to buy good drugs," said the creator of McAfee security software. "I mean, the margin in selling meth can't be as good as the margin in selling software."
Faking a heart attack in Guatemala bought him some time, allowing his lawyer to arrange for him to be sent to the United States instead of being sent back to Belize, he said.
He said all his funds still were in Belize. "I don't have a home here [in the United States] anymore," he said. "I don't have any money."
It remains unclear whether U.S. authorities have any interest in talking to McAfee. An FBI spokesman in Miami said the agency wasn't involved with McAfee's return to the U.S.
Other U.S. agencies haven't said whether McAfee would be questioned or detained in the country. Officials said there was no active arrest warrant for McAfee that would justify taking him into custody.
Several tourists in South Beach took pictures with the newsmaker of the day, including Suzanne Swanson.
"We're staying in Miami," she said. "We just came down to South Beach to look for movie stars."

The UFC's Pittsburgh debut is undergoing a little change.
UFC officials today announced that Matt Riddle has been forced to withdraw from a planned contest with T.J. Grant (16-5 MMA, 3-3 UFC) and Charlie Brenneman (12-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) has been tapped as a replacement for the UFC on Versus 4 bout.
UFC on Versus 4 takes place June 26 at Pittsburgh's Consol Energy Center. The night's main card, including an Anthony Johnson vs. Nate Marquardt welterweight headliner, airs live on Versus.
The change to the preliminary-card bout was first reported by MMADieHards.com.
Grant looks to rebound from a December decision loss to the recently-retired Ricardo Almeida. A six-fight UFC veteran, Grant has alternated wins and losses since his April 2009 octagon-debut win over Ryo Chonan. Five of his six UFC bouts have gone the distance.
A Pennsylvania native, Brenneman looks to build on a January decision win over Amilcar Alves. The victory came after a TKO loss to Johny Hendricks at UFC 117 that snapped a six-fight win streak for "The Spaniard."
A timetable for Riddle's return was not announced.

Jeremiah 10 condemns Christmas trees!
Jeremiah 10
1 Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.
2 Thus says the LORD:
Do not learn the way of the Gentiles;
Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven,
For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the peoples are futile;
For one cuts a tree from the forest,
The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
4 They decorate it with silver and gold;
They fasten it with nails and hammers
So that it will not topple.
5 They are upright, like a palm tree,
And they cannot speak;
They must be carried,
Because they cannot go by themselves.
Do not be afraid of them,
For they cannot do evil,
Nor can they do any good.
6 Inasmuch as there is none like You, O LORD
(You are great, and Your name is great in might),
7 Who would not fear You, O King of the nations?
For this is Your rightful due.
For among all the wise men of the nations,
And in all their kingdoms,
There is none like You.
8 But they are altogether dull-hearted and foolish;
A wooden idol is a worthless doctrine.
9 Silver is beaten into plates;
It is brought from Tarshish,
And gold from Uphaz,
The work of the craftsman
And of the hands of the metalsmith;
Blue and purple are their clothing;
They are all the work of skillful men.
10 But the LORD is the true God;
He is the living God and the everlasting King.
At His wrath the earth will tremble,
And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.
Jeremiah 10 condemns idolatry, both in the letter and in the spirit, whether a physical idol or an idolatrous tradition based upon HEATHEN CUSTOMS like the "Christmas tree" that history clearly exposes as pagan in origin. Those who adorn their Christmas trees and remain in denial about its pagan origin, who play deaf, dumb and blind to the facts, who attempt to dismiss or downplay how it's a heathen custom, are living a lie and shamefully reject the clear commandments of God that speak against such spiritual adultery, mixing and matching pagan error with biblical truth, and will suffer the consequences for being so dishonest and deceitful.
Pagan holidays like Christmas and pagan customs like Christmas trees are both abominations to God. True Christians shun both, we avoid them like the plague, because we love God more than idolatrous traditions of apostate men!
