A time capsule containing a cryptic message about the coming apocalypse sends a concerned father on a race to prevent the horrific events from unfolding as predicted in this sci-fi thriller directed by Alex Proyas (Dark City) and starring Nicolas Cage. 1958: As the dedication ceremony for a newly constructed elementary school gets under way, a time capsule containing student drawings of the future is buried on the grounds and scheduled to be unearthed on the school's 50th anniversary. Instead of submitting a drawing, however, one little girl scribbles a series of seemingly random numbers on her paper before it is buried. Fifty years later, the time capsule is unearthed for a new generation of students to examine. Young Caleb Koestler (Chandler Canterbury) is one of those students. The mysterious sequence of numbers falling into his possession, Caleb takes the paper to his father, Professor John Koestler (Cage), for examination. Studying the numbers, Professor Koestler soon discovers that they aren't random at all, but an encoded message containing the precise dates, death tolls, and coordinates of every major disaster since the time capsule was buried. Not only that, but the document also indicates that there will be three more such events, the last of which indicates a doomsday scenario that appears directly tied to Professor Koestler and Caleb. His desperate plea to authorities falling on deaf ears, Professor Koestler realizes that his only hope for preventing more lives from being lost is to take personal action. Though the author of the prophecies is no longer living, Professor Koestler is eventually able to track down her daughter Diana Wayland (Rose Byrne), and granddaughter Abby, who reluctantly agree to aid in the investigation. As the final date on the list draws near, Professor Koestler enters into a frantic race against time to prevent destruction on a global scale, in the process realizing that in order to save millions of lives, he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Add Lord of War to top of Queue
One man demonstrates how to get rich selling warring nations the tools of their deadly trade in this dark comedy drama. Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage) is an opportunistic businessman who stumbled into a gold mine after the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Huge caches of Soviet weapons became available at bargain prices (and even for free if one wasn't above stealing), and as literally billions of dollars' worth of Soviet military technology disappeared, it began finding its way into the hands of weapons dealers eager to sell it to the highest bidder. Orlov was one such dealer who found plenty of buyers for guns and military gear in unstable Third World nations, who paid cash and didn't appreciate too many questions. Orlov's exploits in the arms business quickly made him a very rich man, but they've also led to some unwanted attention from Jack Valentine (Ethan Hawke), an Interpol agent who is convinced Orlov isn't playing by the rules. Inspired by a true story, Lord of War also features Jared Leto, Ian Holm, Bridget Moynahan, and Donald Sutherland. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A man with the ability to see the future and change the outcome of events before they occur is forced to choose between saving himself and saving the world in this supernatural thriller starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Lee Tamahori (Die Another Day, The Edge). Cris Johnson (Cage) is a Las Vegas magician who possesses the unique ability to witness the events of the immediate future moments before they happen. As a child Cris was subjected to a series of cruel experiments by government scientists and doctors, but a change of name and a new identity allowed the tortured psychic to elude detection and start a new life away from the prying eyes of his former captors. Though his clairvoyant vision only extends a few minutes into the future, it has still allowed Cris to eke out a living as a low-rent Las Vegas magician while earning a little extra cash at the blackjack tables. Up to this point in his life Cris has never used his power for anything substantial, but when he experiences a vision of Los Angeles being incinerated in a nuclear holocaust, the small-time magician realizes that he could hold the key to saving millions of lives. But as low as he has tried to lie in recent years, Cris has never completely escaped detection by the government. Now, as terrorists prepare to unleash the ultimate horror on an unsuspecting city, FBI counter terror agent Callie Ferris (Julianne Moore) sets out to capture Cris and convince him to use his exceptional gift to prevent the nuclear nightmare from becoming a terrifying reality. Jessica Biel, Peter Falk, and Thomas Kretschmann co-star in the film, which is based on a short story by acclaimed sci-fi author Philip K. Dick. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Film superstar Nicolas Cage's directing debut, Sonny follows a very unconventional family as they struggle to overcome personal and financial adversity. Young Sonny (James Franco) returns home to New Orleans from Army service to find his mother Jewel (Brenda Blethyn), a prostitute, in dire financial straits due to her marketability decreasing exponentially as her age increases. Jewel takes heart at her son's return, however, as she had raised him to be a male prostitute and his mid-'20s vitality should be able to provide a much-needed boost to her family's income -- which until now has primarily been based on Jewel's boyfriend Henry's (Harry Dean Stanton) small-time thievery, as well as the income generated by Jewel's new recruit, Carol (Mena Suvari). Sonny initially scoffs at the thought, having been offered a chance for a legitimate job from his Army buddy (Scott Caan), but when that possibility falls through, Sonny finds he has no choice but to work for his mother. ~ Ryan Shriver, Rovi

The Dresden Files [TV Series]
Based on a series of novels by Jim Butcher, the weekly, hour-long Sci Fi Channel series The Dresden Files starred former 24 regular Paul Blackthorne as Harry Dresden, a Chicago-based private eye with a unique gift. Put simply, Harry was a genuine, bona-fide wizard--indeed, the only wizard who advertised in the Yellow Pages. Blessed (?) with the ability to cast spells, mix potions, fortell the future and alter fate--at least within the limits set down by the High Council of Wizards--Harry put his talents to practical use by investigating crime cases involving the paranormal, for a fee of 500 bucks a day plus expenses for those who could afford his services, but occasionally working gratis for needy souls who'd been caught in the crossfire of the Black Arts. Harry's chief assistant and spiritual adviser (in every sense of the word) was Bob (Terrence Mann), a misplaced ghost who was doomed to walk the earth for all eternity--and apparently, to dredge up clues and follow leads. Also on hand was cyical Chicago cop Connie Murphy (Valerie Cruz), who, though she suspected Harry of being a charlatan, begrudgingly called upon his services whenever she was up against an "unusual" case. Debuting January 12, 2007, The Dresden Files was originally conceived as a theatrical feature, but was converted into a weekly TV show after the release of another, similar film, Constantine. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The mystery of one man's guilt or innocence literally becomes a matter of life and death in this drama. David Gale (Kevin Spacey) was the head of the philosophy department at Austin University and the author of several well-regarded books; he was also an active and visible member of Deathwatch, an anti-capital punishment activist group. One of Gale's best friends was Constance Harraway (Laura Linney), a fellow Deathwatch activist with whom he became especially close, particularly since Gale's wife, Sharon (Elizabeth Gast), who had taken a lover in Spain, was usually absent. One night, Gale was seduced by an attractive student from his class, Berlin (Rhona Mitra), who had too much to drink; later, the remorseful student accused Gale of rape. While Gale was eventually cleared of the charges, the negative publicity cost him his career as an educator, and with no job and no wife, Gale turned to drink. When Harraway was found raped and murdered a few years later, Gale was charged with the crime, and convicted despite the best efforts of his well-meaning but ineffectual lawyer Braxton Belyeu (Leon Rippy). Now Gale awaits execution, and less than a week before his date with the fatal injection, Gale agrees to tell his story to Bitsey Bloom (Kate Winslet), a nervy journalist from a major newsmagazine, who arrives with her assistant, Zack Stemmons (Gabriel Mann). As Bloom discusses the facts of the Harraway murder with Gale, it occurs to her that the details simply don't add up, and soon a mysterious stranger slips evidence to her that suggests Gale has been framed -- leaving Bloom and Stemmons only a few days to solve the mystery and save Gale from the executioner. The Life of David Gale was co-produced by actor Nicolas Cage, who originally commissioned the script and intended to star in the film before prior commitments led him to hand the project over to director Alan Parker. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Inspired by the beloved segment of the Walt Disney classic Fantasia, The Sorcerer's Apprentice moves the setting of the story to modern-day Manhattan, where decidedly average teen Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel) hones his magical powers under the tutelage of master sorcerer Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage). Malevolent wizard Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina) is determined to claim New York City as his own. And Horvath isn't alone in his diabolical endeavor, because by joining forces with the sinister sorcerer, pop illusionist Drake Stone (Toby Kebbell) aspires to gain powers beyond his wildest imagination. Realizing that he can't take on Horvath and Stone alone, Blake recruits Stutler as his reluctant assistant and begins training him the battle that will determine the fate of the Big Apple. Teresa Palmer and Monica Bellucci co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A man struggles to get a grip on a life that's spinning out of control in this emotional comedy drama. Dave Spritz (Nicolas Cage) is a television weatherman on a high-profile Chicago news program. Professionally, Dave is doing just fine -- he makes great money for a job that demands little effort, and he has a shot at an assignment with a network morning news and chat show. But Dave's personal life leaves a lot to be desired -- his father, respected author Robert Spritzel (Michael Caine), is in failing health, he's divorced from his wife, Noreen (Hope Davis), and his relationship with his children is tenuous at best, especially his overweight daughter, Shelly (Gemmenne de la Pena). If Dave is to land his new job, he'll have to move to New York City, and with his time in Chicago running short, he dedicates himself to trying to salvage his ties with his family before it's too late, though he discovers this is even harder than he imagines. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A young child has gone missing and it's up to a haunted but determined policeman to travel to the remote island community where she was last seen and solve the lingering mystery of her disappearance in director Neil LaBute's updated reworking of Anthony Shaffer's 1973 cult horror classic. Upon receiving a letter from his one-time fiancée, Willow (Kate Beahan), imploring him to search for her missing daughter on the secluded island of Summersisle, Policeman Edward Malus (Nicolas Cage) quickly makes his way to the island to locate the girl and seek an answer as to why Willow suddenly and inexplicably disappeared shortly before their wedding date. Once there, Malus is troubled to discover that although there are traces of the child to be found in such locations as the local schoolhouse, the residents of Summersisle seem reluctant to offer any specific details as to the girl's apparent death. His investigation effectively stalled by the highly secretive Wiccan community, Sheriff Malus soon discovers that there are still some cultures that have their own unique beliefs about humankind's relationship with Mother Earth, and refuse to adapt to the rules of modern society. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Add World Trade Center to top of Queue
Director Oliver Stone once again offers a powerful and provocative story based on real-life events in this drama. Sargeant John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage) and William J. Jimeno (Michael Pena) were two officers assigned to New York City's Port Authority who were working their beats on a quiet day in early fall when they received an emergency call. The day was September 11, 2001, and McLoughlin and Jimeno were among the policemen who attempted to evacuate the World Trade Center towers after they were struck by airliners piloted by terrorists. Both McLoughlin and Jimeno were inside the fifth building of the World Trade Center when the towers fell, and were two of the last people found alive amidst the wreckage. As McLoughlin and Jimeno struggled to hold on to their lives as rescuers sifted through the rubble, their spouses -- Donna McLoughlin (Maria Bello) and Allison Jimeno (Maggie Gyllenhaal) -- clung to the desperate hope that their husbands would survive and be found. As the McLoughlin and Jimeno families waited for word on the fate of the two men, they watched as a city and a nation came together with strength and compassion in the face of a tragedy. World Trade Center was based on the true story of John McLoughlin and William J. Jimeno, both of whom cooperated with producers in the making of this film. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

No, people, normal people, at Soylent Green. [As well as the other Soylent products.]

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Next Week's Game Plan (Final)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "There's more to this market that just oil prices," Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers on Friday as he laid out his game plan for next week's action. He said that the company's reporting earnings next week will paint a detailed picture of the economy as a whole.
That's why on Monday, Cramer said he'll be watching Priceline.com (PCLN) and Southwest Energy (SWN) . He said that Priceline will tell us if momentum stocks are back in vogue, while Southwest can tell us whether natural gas prices can still go lower.
For Tuesday, it's AutoZone (AZO) , Domino's Pizza (DPZ) and Markwest Energy (MWE) that will have Cramer's attention. He was bullish on all three of these stocks.
Then on Wednesday, Costco (COST) , Joy Global (JOY) and Staples (SPLS) will be reporting. Cramer said he's in listen-mode for these companies, and wants to hear how price inflation, weak coal demand and small business growth will be affecting these stocks.
Thursday brings the earnings of Kroger (KR) and Foot Locker (FL) . Cramer said that Kroger pales by comparison to Whole Foods Markets (WFM) , but Foot Locker will provide an update in the battle between Under Armour (UA) and Nike (NKE) .
On the IPO front, Cramer said investors should get in on the IPO of the business-rating site Yelp, but should not trade it in the open market. If the deal pops, he said, investors must "take the money and run."
Waiting to Happen
With President Obama talking up natural gas in recent days, Cramer once again spoke with David Demers, president and CEO of Westport Innovations (WPRT) , the country's leading natural gas engine maker. Westport's stock has seen a 20% gain so far this year and is up a stunning 263% since Cramer first got behind the alternative fuel play in Jan 2010.
Demers brought along with him a brand new Ford (F) F-250 pickup truck designed to run on both natural gas and regular gas, giving the vehicle a combined 600-mile range. Demers said the truck will be available to customers in the second quarter of this year and solves the anxiety surrounding "where do I fill up" until more natural gas fueling stations come into existence.
When asked about the transition to natural gas for vehicles, Demers said plainly "it's going to happen." He said everyone wants vehicles that run on a domestic resource that costs about half of what foreign gasoline does. He said while the Ford vehicle sacrifices some of its bed capacity to fit in the extra tanks, vehicles that run just on natural gas don't have to sacrifice any space or performance.

This item is available in stores only.*
Classic beautiful meets timeless elegance in this heavenly off-the-shoulder Oleg wedding dress!

Off The Shoulder Chantilly Lace Trumpet Gown Style CWG533
Extremely flattering!
This was the second dress I tried on, and it immediately became the one against which I judged all others. I am a street size 10, 36 DD. It was a challenge to find something that hugged my curves (in a good way) without showing cleavage. I didn't want to look sexy, I wanted to look beautiful. This dress made me feel gorgeous! I will be adding a grosgrain ribbon as a belt, though it doesn't need the embellishment, I just liked the look. I cannot recommend this dress enough. If there is a tiny downside, it is that this beauty weighs like 30 pounds.
December 5, 2013
Breath taking
I love this. I knew I wanted a lace dress but nothing in the store was quite... enough.... a lot of the lace patterns were atrocious and very gaudy or it looked cheap. I tried this dress on and the layers of lace just.... were perfect. The design is flawless and I loved that it came in a 0P (petite). I'm a tiny girl and all dresses fit odd. This fit perfectly.

Gorgeous, Vintage dress!
This dress is absolutely gorgeous! I am 5'9", and around a size 16. I have a large bust and ordered this dress in an 18W with extra length, if any curvier women are considering this gown. Being an Oleg Cassini, this gown is extremely well made, and better quality than the David's collection. I ordered the dress without trying it on #in store there was like a size 4 or 6# and have never regretted it! My wedding is art deco/vintage/gold and purple in a 1920's ballroom, so the style is a perfect fit, it had some sort of sleeve without being "modest", which I'm very glad about because most "modest" gowns are really very ugly. It's got enough sexy, but it's appropriate for everyone. Highly recommend! I also recommend the trumpet slip underneath, as it gives the bottom enough poof to really show off the design details of the bottom! I may update with photos after the wedding, as I'm trying to keep the dress as much under wraps as possible!
November 11, 2013
The Dress!
I absolutely love this dress! David's was the first store that I went to and this was the last dress that I tried on. I then went to two other bridal stores and nothing could compete. I was miserable at the other stores and I could not stop thinking about this dress. I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it. I had a thing for lace & buttons and the buttons that go all the way down the back sold me.

Santiago Canyon College (SCC) is a diverse learning community dedicated to intellectual and personal growth. Our purpose is to foster a learning environment that helps students develop knowledge and understanding, critical thinking, sound decision making, cultural awareness, effective communication skills, and a commitment to local and global citizenship.
Santiago Canyon College offers a comprehensive curriculum that includes university transfer, associate degree and certificate programs. In addition, we provide community services, career education, continuing education, basic skills development, and a range of support services for full and part-time students, including those with family and career responsibilities. At SCC we encourage students to plan, implement, and evaluate their educational progress through meaningful reflection and interaction with both the college and community.
One of the best things about SCC is that it is not a large college; it is a good size and it is easy to become familiar with. The teachers here are often incredibly understanding and easy to talk to; I have only encountered one teacher that I believed to be difficult. With my other professors, I have become personally acquainted with them. I have met many great students and faculty in my few years here.
Read MoreSome of the students were still young, and acted like they didn't want to be there. But once I got into my major classes, those were the people who were really serious. I definitely recommend finding the serious students to study with and work on group projects with. Otherwise you may find yourself with my work than you bargained for.

The Certificate Program
The Online Professional Certificate in Fitness Business Management is an innovative Web-based Certificate (with an Optional Field Internship course) designed to teach students how to manage a Personal Training Program &/or a Health-Fitness Department as a Strategic Business Unit (S.B.U.). This knowledge can be applied in both commercial and non-commercial based health and fitness facilities in the United States and/or internationally.
The program was developed to establish an industry standard in fitness management education for allied health and fitness professionals, personal trainers, fitness managers, and entrepreneurs that wish to establish a successful business model and fitness operation. Specific learning topics include fitness management, marketing, entrepreneurship, finance, personnel management, customer service, and business administration concepts. The certificate prepares students to implement successful business systems in the following settings: private and commercial health clubs, medically-based fitness facilities, community wellness centers, personal training studios, physical therapy clinics, YMCA's, JCC's, college/university centers, recreational settings, and corporate fitness centers. A competitive advantage offered in the program is the optional field internship which enables students to practice fitness management concepts in a health and fitness setting.
This program is offered in partnership with IDEA Health & Fitness Association, Health Club Managers, Inc., and Personal Fitness Professional (PFP). IDEA has provided content/curriculum in the program; in addition, students receive a complimentary 6-month membership to the digital edition of IDEA Fitness Journal. Health Club Managers, a Health Club Staff/Management Training company, is providing graduating certificate students a preferred discount on their services. PFP is providing students with a 3 year free subscription, which includes 8 print issues per year, a bi-monthly e-newsletter, access to their digital magazine and an interactive website with blogs, polls, articles and much more.

Now i know it is smart to wear a helmet riding down Portrush Rd in heavy traffic, or tearing down from Mt Lofty on a race bike, but if i want to ride down to the local deli on my old school pushy or roll up and down Rundle St letting latte sipping hipsters admire my flowing locks, then i believe it should be ok to go sans helm. After riding all over Europe last summer i grew accustomed to riding with no helmet, and i never felt my life was in grave danger. If the roads of London became too scary i just got off and walked my bike till things calmed down or i could find another (quieter) route. I think minors should be made to wear helmets, but as a adult member of a free society i am quite capable of deciding when and when not to take my helmet on a ride. This topic has probably surfaced quite a bit on these forums but it needs to be discussed again as a progression for change.
Tags: choice, freedom, helmet, helmets, laws, progression
Replies are closed for this discussion.
We'll start with discussing the need for a grocer's apostrophe in your title. Is it necessary? Is it safe? Will you be vilified for free spelling?
As for the helmet issue, when you live in a area do as the local laws say or take the consequences. If you want to change the law, stand for parliament under the "I don't mind my brains smeared all over the pavement as it's my choice" party ticket.
Cheers and enjoy the bunfight (again).
Im out of buns
A hollowed out Kitchener bun...makes a great helmet and at the end of the ride you can eat it.
oohhhh I like the sound of that. Will grab one from Millies next time I'm there.
mmmmmmmmm buns
I am currently study baking at TAFE I made rock buns Tuesday.
if you are going to have a bun fight is using rock buns against the rules???
Might break out into a pie fight too. OOHH yeah!!, throw a pie my way just make sure it is a curry one from Meadows. Are pastries and custard tarts in the 'bun' classification (personally I don't think so but maybe we should do some research on the matter - perhaps we should start up a Bunnies sub-group to the Muddies franchise).
I have now corrected the title, thanks for bringing that to my attention in such a comical fashion. I appreciate your input and totally understand your point of view. Maybe a good compromise for you would be a relaxing of the helmet laws just within the city and parkland areas? This would encourage people to cycle more in the city limits and allow short term rental stations (like Melbourne bike share system) to be used by locals and tourists visiting our beautiful city, without the need to carry a helmet around all day. Perhaps a reduction of the speed limits for motor vehicles in the city and parkland areas to 40 kmph and the addition of more bike lanes will help make our city one of the most progressive and bike friendly cites in Australia.
Try explaining "freedom of choice" while sucking oatmeal through a straw.
Yeah public health and social safety nets are a complete and utter waste of money. I reckon we should just nip the inevitable decline and health related problems in the bud. Uh oh - better start running here comes a Sandman. Welcome to the Dystopia.
(Just wondering, are you suggesting that all these people should evolve through random mutation?)

Many people talk about dreams, but few act on them.
World traveler and inspirational speaker Allan Karl acted on his dream when he embarked on a three-year adventure across the world alone on a motorcycle.
At the Neville Center in North Platte Tuesday, Karl spoke about the challenges and rewards he encountered.
He logged more than 62,000 miles over five continents, traveling through 35 countries on his motorcycle.
Years before the journey, Karl co-founded Wirestone in 2000, one of the countrys top 50 digital marketing agencies.
After serving as the companys director and achieving much success for several years, Karl realized he wasnt happy with his life. In the midst of a divorce, he quit his job.
I was jobless, my marriage had fallen apart and above all, I was alone, Karl said. In many ways, I felt Id reached the end of my road.
Karl said he wanted to harbor resentment, but knew it wouldnt get him anywhere. He was enthusiastic about motorcycles, traveling, writing and photography all his life, but never acted on those passions.
Karl said he also wanted to visit as many World Heritage Sites as possible.
After nearly two years of preparations, he decided to sell most of his possessions to pay for a trip across the Americas. His initial goal was to travel as far north and south as possible, but the trip grew much bigger.
In 2005, Karl left his hometown in southern California to begin his journey.
I set out to discover not only our planet, but the opportunities it holds for all of us, he said.
Most of Karls friends thought hed gone crazy and tried to discourage him. They were sure hed either be killed, kidnapped or stripped of everything, but he didnt listen.
Karl envisioned a world full of smiling faces, and thats what he found.
He traveled north into Canada, clear into the Arctic Circle. With a feeling of self-revival, he returned to the U.S. and headed south. He said the trip north was more-or-less an experiment, but the real journey began when he crossed the Mexican border.
At the time, many Mexican villages and roads had been destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, but he often saw children laughing and playing outside despite the disaster. Roads, however, were often washed out roads and forced him to find another path. Karl said he often experienced decision fatigue, but used his intuition to keep going.
The things we perceive as obstacles are merely opportunities to explore other possibilities, he said.
Karl crossed the Panama Canal and reached the Columbian border. Although the U.S. government urges Americans not to tour Columbia, Karl kept on riding.
Theres so many stories about foreigners getting killed in the jungle, but I was so close I could smell the Columbian coffee. Karl said. I decided that even in the face of danger, I still had the power of choice. I chose not to take the safe route.
In Columbia, Karl saw many primitive villages that seemed trapped in time. Several families let him stay at their homes and many people went out of their way to offer directions. When Carl reached the southern border, he was stopped by police who advised him of the dangers of the jungle and urged him not to go any further.
Nonetheless, Karl kept going south.
At one point, he stopped to take a picture of a waterfall and was greeted by two men holding machine guns. Karl said he was terrified, but ended up befriending the men. He said they led him deep into the jungle to see an even better waterfall. Karl said he only spoke broken Spanish at the time and had no reason to trust the men, but his intuition told him to follow them.
Eventually, they reached the secluded waterfall and wound up having an afternoon full of laughter. Karl said the men allowed him to hold their guns while they experimented with his camera.
My camera probably cost more than both of those men make a year, Karl said. It was great to share the powerful gift of human connection.
After Columbia, Karl watched an 82-year-old Ecuadorian woman effortlessly hauling pails of water up a steep hill. The woman said her name was Rosalgarcia, and she walks miles every day to fetch water for her family. Rosalgarcia was overwhelmed with joy when Karl gave her the instruction manual for his motorcycle helmet. She said shed never owned a book and it was her dream to learn how to read.
A woman in perhaps the worlds most impoverished nation still had dreams and passions, Karl said.
Karl later went to Peru and saw Machu Pichu, as well as the remains of many ancient Incan cities.
Seven months into his journey, Karl decided his next goal was to reach the Salar de Vyuni salt flat in Bolivia.
To reach the salt flat, he had to travel 300 miles uphill on a muddy dirt road, far away from civilization. At one point, Karl lost control of his bike and took a hard fall, breaking his leg in three places.
He sat alone in the hot sun for several hours. Two Bolivian boys came and sheltered Karl with umbrellas. He said they laughed when he joked about his light skin being sensitive to the sun.
Twelve hours after the accident, a makeshift ambulance arrived and took Karl to a hospital in Potosi, the highest elevated city in Bolivia.
Karl was forced to return to California for treatment of his severely broken leg. Hardware was inserted and Karl underwent months of physical therapy, then he returned to Bolivia.
I didnt start my quest just to give up on it, he said. I was yet to achieve my goals. I realized -- this is just the start of a new adventure.
After several more mishaps, Karl reached the salt flat. He camped there for several days to embrace the joy of his accomplishment, but the journey didnt end.
Karl continued cycling south, eventually reaching Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost town in South America. A family took him in for a short time until arrangements were made to fly to Cape Town in South Africa. From there, he began riding his motorcycle again, heading north on a different continent.
Using the Nile River as a guide, Karl reached Cairo, Egypt.
While in Zambia, he met a 105-year-old man who said his village must be rebuilt every three years due to flooding.
After negotiating with border patrol for days, Karl was allowed to tour Syria, but couldnt enter most middle-Eastern countries due to the wars.
Three years into his journey, Karl decided to return to his hometown, Leucadia, Calif., in 2008.
He took more than 50,000 photos throughout the adventure.
He plans to explore the middle-East more in the future, but for now he is working at clearcloud ctc, a digital marketing consultant firm in southern-California.
In an upcoming book, From the Boardroom to Bolivia and Beyond, about his odyssey, Karl shares the places and faces he encountered, including 43 World Heritage Sites designated by the United Nations.
Karl encourages people to think outside the box and be optimistic in their toughest times. He said people need to step outside their comfort zone to see the worlds possibilities.
Rather than highlighting the differences of our worlds culture, we need to focus on the similarities, Karl said. Were all human beings. The universal language that communicates better than anything is a smile.

Science Reasoning Center - Projectiles
There are three Projectiles passages that target students' science reasoning abilities. They are ...
Up and Down
8 Questions
This passage describes a demonstration in which a ball is launched upward from a cart moving at a constant speed. The motion of the ball is analyzed using video analysis and the results are presented in the form of a position (both x- and y-) vs. time graph and a velocity vector diagram. Questions target a student's ability to read, interpret, and interpolate from a graph, to formulate models that are consistent with data, and to translate information from one representation to another representation (e.g, from a diagram to a graph, and vice versa).
Maximum Range of a Projectile
10 Questions
This passage uses Excel-generated plots to describe the trajectory of a projectile, to compare the trajectories for three different launch angles, and to show the effect of launch angle upon range for three different launch speeds. Questions target a student's ability to read graphical information, to interpolate from graphs, to recognize the effect of one variable on another variable, and to use information presented in graphs to answer related questions.
12 Questions
This passage describes the trajectory of a rotating juggling club moving through the air. The trajectory of three points on the club are presented in the form of a position (both x- and y-) versus time graph. Questions target a student's ability to select information from a complex graph and to use graphical information to make conclusions regarding the club's orientation and the relative position and rotational direction of various points on the club.
On the Resource CD:
A Resource CD is being prepared to assist classroom teachers in using this section of the website more effectively within their classrooms. The Physics Classroom plans to release the CD during the spring semester or summer of 2013.
The Projectiles section of the CD will include seven different passages, including these three passages. The passages are accompanied by questions, answers with thorough explanations, and a table that associates each question with a specific science reasoning skill (or college readiness standard). Each passage includes considerably more questions than those presented here in the Science Reasoning Center. In addition to PDF files, the information on the CD is also available as Microsoft Word files, allowing teachers the ability to pick and choose questions from the large bank of questions associated with each passage.
More information about the CD can be found at the Resource CD page.

Archived:Authorization requires authentication in Bluetooth security manager on S60 2nd Edition (Known Issue)
The article is believed to be still valid for the original topic scope.
Tested with
S60 2nd Edition FP3
S60 2nd Edition FP2
S60 2nd Edition (initial release)
Contents |
Using authorization mandates using authentication when the TBTServiceSecurity class is used in certain devices. If there is a need for an authorization feature, also authentication has to be set.
The Bluetooth Security Manager faced some changes in Symbian OS v8.0a. In contrast to earlier platforms, it is not possible to use authorization (user confirmation for the inbound connection) without authentication (bonding between two devices).
How to reproduce
Set TBTServiceSecurity's authentication OFF (false) and authorization ON (true). Then connect the devices. The devices get connected without any dialog for the user to accept/decline the connection request.
You have to set both authorization and authentication ON (=true) to be able to use authorization (which is actually also recommended to ensure better security).
An example of how to set authorization ON:
// Get the port and set it to the listening socket
TInt channel;
( iListeningSocket.GetOpt( RFCOMMGetAvailableServerChannel,
KSolBtRFCOMM, channel ));
TBTSockAddr listeningAddress;
listeningAddress.SetPort( channel );
// Define security for the application (unique service ID,
// authentication ON, encryption ON; authorization ON)
TBTServiceSecurity serviceSecurity;
serviceSecurity.SetUid ( KUidBTPointToPointApp );
serviceSecurity.SetAuthentication ( ETrue );
serviceSecurity.SetEncryption ( ETrue );
serviceSecurity.SetAuthorisation ( ETrue );
serviceSecurity.SetDenied( EFalse );
// Attach the defined security policy to the socket
// Bind the socket

It all began on February 28, 2011. It was like any other day. I had breakfast, went to school, ate lunch, came home, had a small bowl of ice cream and watched some TV. However, at supper time everything changed. My dad and I decided to go out to eat at a local restaurant. I was feeling fine, but as soon as I walked in and smelled all the food, I instantly became nauseous. I ran to the bathroom thinking I was gonna throw up, but nothing happened. I sat there feeling nauseous while my dad ate his food. When I got home I ran to the bathroom, because I still felt like I was gonna puke my guts out. Again, nothing happened. For the next four days I was so sick that I couldn't eat or drink ANYTHING. I lost over 8 pounds in those 4 days, which put me below 100 pounds. On the 5th day I went to my family doctor. The doctor took some blood for testing and checked my abdomen out. He said, "You most likely have acid reflux. Take this medicine and go home." I was so surprised at his care-free attitude.
The next day, I was still sick, so my mom took me to the ER. They had to hook me up to an IV since I was so dehydrated. After some x-rays they said, "We don't se anything wrong." They sent me home.
Two days later, I had to take another trip to the ER, this time we went to a different one. They hooked me up to an IV because I was dehydrated again. They took some x-rays and said, "Your really constipated. Try some laxatives at home." I went home, took laxatives, and had a bowel movement. However, I was still nauseous!
Fast forward a couple months: I went and got an upper-GI scope & stomach biopsy done. Everything came back normal.
In May 2012, I finally went to an alternative doctor who almost immediately order a blood test to be done. She wanted to test for allergies. When the results came back I was amazed. I had several food allergies and Celiac Disease. I slowly weaned myself of gluten, because I didn't want to upset my body by getting rid of it too quickly.
To this day I still have nausea, mild to severe, and the doctor has no clue why. She is still trying to figure it out. Well, that's my story, I tried to make it as short as possible.
Here is a list of my current symptoms:
Nausea (mild-severe, get it almost every day no matter what food I eat, I do take some anti-nausea medications to help)
Headaches/Migraines(can last from 30 minutes to 1 week, pain ranges in severity)
Unexplained Weight Loss (went from 118 pounds to 92 pounds, made it back to 98 pounds but can't seem to gain anymore than that)
Chronic Constipation (I always had trouble with this as a kid, but it wasn't as severe as it is now. I currently take laxatives once a week, if I didn't I wouldn't have a bowel movement for more than 3 weeks)
Eczema (I've had it since I was very young. I read that this can be a symptom of Celiac?)
Can Celiac Disease cause all these symptoms I'm experiencing? I've never heard of somebody with Celiac that has constant nausea before. Could it truly be Celiac or is it something else?
Any Ideas, Tips, Websites, etc. would be very welcome! Thanks.
What do you eat? Could you be pregnant or have any hormonal issues? Have you been checked for anemia? Find a good doctor that is actually interested in helping you. Celiac can cause many problems due to malabsorption among other things. All of this needs investigated for you. Many doctors are quickly in and out, not giving the time or interest to investigate a case like yours that may take a little time. I urge you to find one who does.
One thing you might try in the meantime. Eat only real food, small amounts and add a small amount (1/4) cup of fresh digestive enzyme foods such as fresh papaya, pineapple or kiwi each time you eat. If that helps it is a big clue.
The test said I was allergic to all dairy products, goat's milk, some types of fish, clam, corn, some spices, wheat(including its derivatives), and a few other things.
I have cut all dairy out. I now use Rice Milk instead.
The only "symptoms" that I remember having before Feb would be:
Canker Sores in my mouth
Troubles with bowel movements
I've always been skinny/thin for my height
A weak immune system
Irregular Menstrual Cycle
I'm definitely not pregnant, so that's not what's making me sick. My doctor suspects I might have hormonal problems, but doesn't want to do a test for that just yet.
I have been checked for anemia, the result said that I was very slightly anemic.
Thanks for the advice!
Celiac is sometimes activated fully after a crisis.
You mentioned stomach biopsy, but did they do a small intestine biopsy? this is usually the concrete diagnosis for Celiac. You are definetly naming malnutrition problems associated with Celiac. They now have a camera to look at the digestive system from one end to the other. It is painless, you only swallow a small pill (camera). Maybe you should ask for that.
No, they didn't do a small intestine biopsy, just a stomach biopsy. I know now that I should have gotten that done before I went gluten-free. To get a small intestine biopsy done now, I would have to eat gluten for at least 12 weeks and I don't want to chance getting any more sick than I already am.
Immunologic Markers
Biomarker Result Reference Range
Total IgA----------------286 - sufficient--------69-446 mg/dL
IgA (tTG IgA)-----------1.3 - negative--------<4.0 U/mL
Gliadin IgA
(DGP IgA)---------------16 - negative----------<20 U/mL
Anti-Gliadin IgA
(AGA IgA)------------36 - strong positive------<20 U/mL
Anti-Gliadin IgG
(AGA IgG)------------13 - Negative-------------<20 U/mL
It said that the results were consistent with gluten sensitivity, but my doctor said that the blood test used isn't always accurate(we used Genova Diagnostics). Also, I have many symptoms consistent with Celiac, actually I had quite a few of the symptoms as a kid before I got really sick as a teen.
In many cases tTg is not seen to be elevated even when IgA gliadin is elevated.
Your results would make me suspicious if I saw this result in someone I suspected of gluten problems.
In general, the blood test 'suck' unless someone has had gluten issues for a long, long time.
I'm finally going in for a colonoscopy tomorrow! I know it's weird to be excited about something like this, but if you felt like I did every day you'd want to go throught this test too. I hope they find "something" just as long it nothing really serious.
If they don't find anything, i'm going to the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, or this place that specializes in Celiac over in Chicago.
I just want to feel better!

Last month Premier Dalton McGuinty found himself facing a firing squad of inflammatory and poorly-informed right wingers who screamed from rooftops that a proposed new sex education curriculum was an affront to morality and religious freedom.
These groups said that the new curriculum was "bordering on criminal" and tantamount to "indoctrination of a special-interest agenda."
In a turn of events terribly discouraging to thinking people, McGuinty ended up agreeing to delay the new curriculum to conduct broad consultations with the public.
I wrote my defense of sex education in this blog and there was a vigorous debate in the comments. Many were supportive, but some insisted that sex education does nothing to help delay sexual activity or prevent teen pregnancy. "Concerned Mom" said:
"I don't think that having this kind of sex education will prevent in any way teens from having babies as you mention or of having sex at all. They will do it or won't anyways mostly depending on the education they have had at home."
A commenter who went by "Upset Mom" said:
"Education does not prevent anything...if it were true then the rate of teen pregnancies would have dropped, and it has not."
Well, actually, it has. And today we have recent proof of that. The Sex Information and Education Council released data that shows teen pregnancy dropped 36.9 per cent between 1996 and 2006.
Francine Kopun's story "Teen pregnancies plummet in Canada" outlines the details, including that Canada has the lowest teen pregnancy rate among the countries surveyed. The others were the United States, Sweden, England and Wales.
The researchers postulated that access to contraception and higher quality sexual education were the reason behind the drop in unwanted teenage pregnancy by more than one third.
Several commenters shared how lack of access to basic instruction on sexual health and human reproduction negatively impacted their lives:
"Sarah" said:
As someone who grew up in a household where no straightforward information about sexuality was permitted... I can verify that nothing leads to experimentation with sex like absolute ignorance! I didn't want 'how to' information, I wanted 'about' information."
Kenn Chaplin shared this:
"Guess where I stand as a kid who only figured out I was gay when school kids said enough derogatory, descriptive things that bore some resemblance to my innocent feelings, bullied by a head teacher who broke his trust with me and made my first seven years of schooling hell, I was then abused by a much older sexual predator. If there had been more formal talk and less learning important words outside and in illogical order…who knows how much better even just a little sensitively-discussed information would have helped me and others."
Jillian Walker had this interesting perspective:
"I grew up in a household where sex was an open topic of discussion. My girlfriends grew up in households where sex was a taboo subject. Is it a coincidence that those same girlfriends were all having sex by aged 13, and I was almost 18? I don't think so. I believe that if my kids have all of the correct information (including what repercussions may follow, be it a disease, a broken heart, a soiled reputation, a teen pregnancy), they will make informed choices about what they will do, when they will do it, and who they will do it with. I'd rather them make informed choices than make blind choices that they have to pay for later.
"Bravo to you for writing this blog. Cheers to all of those people who support the proposed curriculum changes, and to those who don't...do your research, get informed, and don't come crying to me when you find out your 14-year-old is going to be a parent because you refused to keep a supply of condoms available for them just in case."

Ring finger
ring finger | |
The ring finger on this hand is extended (left hand). | |
Latin | Digitus IV manus, digitus quartus manus, digitus anularis manus, digitus medicinalis |
Artery | Proper palmar digital arteries, dorsal digital arteries |
Vein | Palmar digital veins, dorsal digital veins |
Nerve | Dorsal digital nerves of radial nerve, Dorsal digital nerves of ulnar nerve, Proper palmar digital nerves of median nerve |
The ring finger is the fourth proximal digit of the human hand, and the second most ulnar finger, located between the middle finger and the little finger. It is also called digitus medicinalis, the fourth finger, digitus annularis, digitus quartus, or digitus IV in anatomy. It may also be referred to as the third finger.[1]
According to László A. Magyar, the names of the ring finger in many languages reflect an ancient belief that it is a magical finger. It is named after magic or rings, or called nameless (for example, in Chinese: 无名指, unnamed finger).[2] In Sanskrit and other Indic languages, the name for the ring finger is Anamika ("nameless").[citation needed]
The wedding ring[edit]
Before medical science discovered how the circulatory system functioned, people believed that a vein ran directly from the third finger on the left hand to the heart. Because of the hand-heart connection, they chose the descriptive name vena amoris, Latin for the vein of love, for this particular vein.[citation needed]
Based upon this name, their contemporaries, purported experts in the field of matrimonial etiquette, wrote that it would only be fitting that the wedding ring be worn on this finger. By wearing the ring on the third finger of the left hand, a married couple symbolically declares their eternal love for each other.
In Western cultures, a wedding ring is traditionally worn on the ring finger. This developed from the Roman "anulus pronubis" when the man gave a ring to the woman at the betrothal ceremony. Blessing the wedding ring and putting it on the bride's finger dates from the 11th century. In medieval Europe, the Christian wedding ceremony placed the ring in sequence on the index, middle, and ring fingers of the left hand. The ring was then left on the ring finger. In a few European countries, the ring is worn on the left hand prior to marriage, then transferred to the right during the ceremony.[citation needed] For example, a Greek Orthodox bride wears the ring on the left hand prior to the ceremony, then moves it to the right hand after the wedding. In England, the 1549 Prayer Book declared "the ring shall be placed on the left hand". By the 17th and 18th centuries the ring could be found on any finger after the ceremony — even on the thumb.
Left or right Hand[edit]
In some Orthodox Christian, Roman Catholic and Protestant countries[3] such as Russia, Greece, Georgia, Poland, Austria, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Venezuela, and India, the wedding ring is worn on the ring finger of the right hand.
In other countries, such as Ireland, Sweden, Italy, Slovenia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Mexico, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the USA and the UK, it is generally worn on the ring finger of the left hand, although right hand wearing is becoming more common. In Brazil, the ring is worn on the right hand until the actual wedding day, when it's exchanged to the left hand.
The ring is more noticeable on the right hand due to the traditional shaking of right hands in greeting.
Several traditions exist in traditional Jewish wedding ceremonies: most commonly today, the ring is placed on the index finger; but other traditions record placing it on the middle finger or the thumb.[4] Today the ring usually is moved to the ring finger after the ceremony. Some Jewish grooms have adopted wearing a wedding ring.
A wedding ring is not a traditional part of the religious Muslim wedding; wedding rings are not included in most Islamic countries. However, if a wedding ring is worn in an Islamic country, it may be worn on either the left (such is the custom in Iran) or the right ring finger. As opposed to the wedding ring, use of a ring to denote betrothal or engagement is quite prevalent in Muslim countries, especially those in West and South Asia.
Rings are not traditional in an Indian wedding. However, in modern society it is becoming a practice to wear rings for engagements and not for actual marriage. Though the left hand is considered inauspicious for religious activities, a ring (not to be called wedding ring) is still worn on the left hand. Men generally wear the rings on the right hand and the women on the left hands.
In Sinhala and Tamil culture, the groom wears the wedding ring on his right hand and bride wears it on her left hand ring finger. This can be seen in countries like Sri Lanka where there is a rich Sinhala and Tamil cultural influence in the society.[5]
Scientific study[edit]
This section requires expansion with: Studies not about the ratio between index and finger. (November 2012) |
The ratio between index and ring finger is believed to be linked to exposure to testosterone in the womb. On average, men tend to have longer ring fingers and women longer index fingers. The higher the testosterone, the greater the length of the ring finger and the more "masculine" the resulting child – whether male or female. The longest ring finger is known as the "Casanova pattern".[6]
In a study of stock traders, Cambridge University researchers found that the most successful had a relatively long ring finger. According to this study, the finger-length ratio was boosted by higher levels of testosterone in the womb during a crucial phase of gestation. Traders with long ring fingers made up to 11 times the earnings of their counterparts, the study found.[7]
Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley found the difference in the length between women's ring fingers and index fingers tend to be greater for lesbians than straight women. The same study also found that a greater difference in length of men's ring fingers and index fingers for gay men with several older brothers as compared to straight men.[8]
Scientists at the University of Bath found that children who had longer ring fingers are better with numbers-based subjects such as mathematics and physics, which are traditionally male favorites.[6]
Canadian researchers from the University of Alberta have found a correlation between length of the ring finger and levels of physical aggression.[6]
