"No" is the fourth film of the 36-year-old Chilean director Pablo Larraín, and the third in his series of films about the era of Dictator Augusto Pinochet. Larrain was born in the early years of the Pinochet era to a more prosperous environment, his parents are politicians – his father was a senator "from the right wing," as Larraín says himself. Therefore, if he does not draw for his "Pinochet Movies" from autobiographical information, then here he succeeds even more: to make a national community memory visible.
80-s-retro aesthetic
The young advertising upstart Rene Saavedra (Gael Garcia Bernal) had taken over, really just to show the PR strategy for the list of "No" to his advertising agency boss (a "yes"-men) that he can do better. Larraín traces the campaign, with promotional pieces that occupy a third of the film.Pinochet's supporters and the opposition had to apply per day 15 minutes to their campaign on the national TV channel. He sold the principle of freedom exactly as if he would want to bring soft drinks to the people: with a rainbow and people laughing, dancing on the streets. Who would not want this life? Of course Saveedra advocated here as a fairy tale, like all propaganda is one, but Saveedra outperformed its opponent in an act of mimetic overfitting yet. The message, which he applied, was in essence different.
Nicole Kidmanas Charlene Wittstock
The Hollywood star Nicole Kidman (45) will be seen as Charlene Wittstock in U.S. theatres later this year. The Weinstein Company film studio wants the film "Grace of Monaco"to be in theatres in December. The start date is important because the film then goes into the race for the next Oscars.
Producer Harvey Weinstein said aloud release: "More than 30 years after her death, the story of Grace Kelly is a story of not to be surpassed fascination." Kidman was a perfect portrait of a woman created, which is not only been royal, but also a legend the screen and a fashion icon.

The sexy
Brothers & Sisters
star gives Cosmo an exclusive look into her life!
Sarah Jane Morris strikes a pose
Jim Spellman/WireImage.com
Special Offer
Let me first start by introducing myself. My name is Sarah Jane Morris (aka, Sarah, SJ, Morris, etc), and I play the character of Julia Walker, the steadfast-but-not-always-faithful wife to oldest brother Tommy, on the
ABC family drama
Brothers & Sisters
. I have been asked by the powers-that-be over here at cosmopolitan.com to write a blog that gives you readers some sort of insight into the exciting (or totally boring...you decide!) life of a working TV actress.
First, a little bit about myself:
I just turned 31, was born and raised in
Memphis, Tennessee
, and am the youngest of four.
I started performing when I was in the first grade play, cast as Bossy the Cow. I never looked back. (Side note: I was much more upset that the teacher had named my character Bossy than the fact that I was playing a cow.)
At one point in my life, I was very serious about
, but my mother insisted I continue to study classical voice. So eventually I gave up ballet to return to the musical theater world. I went away to college at SMU in Dallas, TX where I assumed my days of performing would be replaced by a real job in public relations after I graduated.
Amazingly, during my senior year, I was handpicked while walking through the student center! to be in a 20-page editorial spread in a womens magazine. A few months later, I got a call from the producer from that shoot, who explained that there was some big-time manager interested in talking and meeting me. (He represented Renée Zellweger!)
So I moved to L.A. and he took me under his wing and helped me get started. But that was just the beginning of a very long journey to where I am now. I managed to land my first commercial audition (a Burger King ad that never aired), and this gave me the confidence (and SAG card) I needed to push forward in this business.
I always say you have to
be positive
, patient and persistent to make it in this business. There were years when I had a lot of success (
Boston Public, Dark Angel,
) and years where I hardly worked at all. About three years ago, I married my college boyfriend, who now works as a successful musician. You might have heard of his band...
! ;) Things haven't been the same since.
Come back tomorrow and Ill tell you what its like to be an actress on a successful TV show, drive a car powered by vegetable oil, and be married to a rock star. Oh, and I must introduce you to my new friends, the worms, who are living under my kitchen sink turning my garbage into rich soil.
P.S. Write me a comment below and say
Would love to hear from you...

Bike for sale | Monday, April 15th, 2013
(I hereby promise that this will be the last automotive/motorcycle-related post for a while)...
So, I'm selling my wicked touring bike. This is the motorcycle I rode on my 12000+KM trip through Canada and the U.S. last fall; a 2005 Victory Kingpin.
Details copy-pasted from my Kijiji ad after the jump.

EVGA showed of its almost-ready dual LGA-1366 high-end workstation motherboard at the ongoing CES event. The motherboard pictured sports a component cooling covering all its vital areas except for one of the CPUs' VRM areas, it gives a fair idea about what the final product could look like. The board itself was detailed earlier. The chipset cooler design borrows heavily from single-slot graphics cards. A monolithic baseplate covers the northbridge Intel 5500(?), ICH10-class southbridge, and the two NVIDIA BR-03 bridge chips. The heatsink becomes taller over one of the CPU sockets' VRM area. Air is drawn in from the round intake, and pushed out near the expansion slots. the gaps between the expansion slots will do their part in directing the hot air away. Source: PC Games Hardware
Aye had one on my bloodrage, you have to remove it, makes fitting a cooler very difficult when you decide to do it vertically
Heh, that must be the first VGA cooler on a motherboard. Looks funny, but it's skinny enough and already invented, so why not use it and save money
New records anyone? Two LN2 cooled i7 980X CPUs + possibly two LN2 cooled dual GPU Fermi cards in quad-sli = 100% pure kickass.
thx but are these limited production? i would like to get one once the price drops on Core i7 965 Extreme Edition
Details are pretty think on the ground right now, but rumours have it that it'll support Xeon CPUs - I'd like to i7 support, but unfortunately it's the waiting game.
Fits said the mobo will be $900+ and the chips will be like $1400 each. It's gonna take me all fckin year to save up $3700 for this beast
For some reason, the coolers on these dual socket motherboards are always hideous. Come on, add a little flair.
it should be around double the price of the Evga 762 as for the chips it depends on which model you go for
Well, the average target user of workstation/server boards doesn't masturbate while looking at a PCB. Besides, most boards look fairly normal, Skulltrail and this are the only two I can think of that look a bit silly. Even my Z7S looks "normal", and that one is aimed at a similar enthusiast market.
From what I understand, this board is meant to work with Bloomfield Core i7's, but I could be wrong. The board takes standard DDR3 memory, so no problems there, but you might be limited to what size modules you can fit, but again, not confirmed. Too many missing details at the moment to make heads or tails of this board.

Unparalleled Short Range Target Discrimination - Where it Matters MostLowrance Broadband Radar provides amazing target resolution, even at an unprecedented 1/32 nm range. Docks, channel markers, moored vessels, and other critical targets are displayed with pronounced clarity and separation, for added safety and confidence in close quarters. Broadband Radar technology eliminates the "main bang" of pulse radar - an obscured viewing "dead zone" immediately around the boat that prevents display of any close-in hazards.
Virtually No Radiation for Safe, Flexible Installation on Any Boat
Lowrance Broadband Radar transmits at 1/10,000 the power of typical pulse radars, emitting 5-times less energy than an average cell phone! So, Broadband 3G Radar is safe to mount in locations never before possible. Plus, with the lowest DC power draw of any X-band marine radar, it's the first and only radar ideally suited for sailboats and other fishing or cruising boats with limited power.
Navigation in an Instant
No more waiting 2-3 minutes for a pulse radar magnetron to warm up. The 100% solid-state Broadband 3G Radar design provides InstantOn navigation in seconds. In darkness, fog, or foul weather, you can view your surroundings, near and far, instantly. Ideal for sailboats and other boats wanting to save power, especially at anchor.

Long Island Without Panthers
By Ryan
Long ago the natural habitat of Long Island was different. Long Island was mostly covered by forests, grasslands, wetlands and sand plains. It had a different landscape and wildlife . Then Long Island started to become settled. As it got more populated, the settlers would cut down trees, built homes, make roads. Soon, the forests began to disappear because lots of trees were being cut. Also, grasslands were being cleared to make room to build.
Before the settlers arrived, the native habitat allowed different wildlife to exist in Long Island, such as wolves, elks and large cats such as the panther. The open land, hills, trees, wetlands and grasslands gave them shelter from humans, and lots of space to roam. It was and ideal environment for them to exist. Panthers were able to hunt large prey such as deer and other small mammals and rodents.
So, why don't we have panthers in Long Island anymore?
One reason is that the early settlers that arrived to Long Island hunted and trapped them because they thought that they would attack their livestock, and thought that they were dangerous creatures.
The next reason that the panthers are not here is that their natural habitat was being destroyed, changed, and the food chain was being affected for all wild life . For example, Panthers ate small animals such as porcupines, rodents and mammals. But since the habitat was changing , these smaller animals were leaving the area or dying because they too, didn't have enough food or shelter.
Finally, another reason that the panther is not here is that another animal, the deer, which was the main prey for the panther, and their main food source , were also being affected by the changes in the habitat, and were being hunted by humans.
Since their food source was scarce and the habitat was changing, the panther was forced to migrate to other places.
Today Long Island faces a big problem with the deer population . Since the deer do not have that many predators, such as the panther, their numbers have increased to the point where they are too many, and it is causing a huge problem for us. The problem with deer is that they eat anything. They are changing the ecology of forests and causing problems for farms by destroying their crops.
Deer are destroying trees and seedlings, so in years to come there may not be certain species of plants and trees. If certain types of trees die, then the forests will change or maybe even disappear. If certain trees disappear, then certain types of animal species may also disappear. For example, some birds need underbrush to nest, other birds like the songbirds need low ground trees for nesting. Certain species of animals may need to feed from the fruits of a type of tree, and if the tree disappears then they can not feed themselves anymore. Also certain type of insects like certain types of plants or trees and they would be affected by this problem, so they would either die or be force to migrate elsewhere.
If this continues maybe entire species of animals, insects , plants, fruits and trees could disappear completely forever.
The future of our natural habitat and our food supply are in terrible danger!
I think it would have been difficult to have settled Long Island without decreasing the panther population. The settlers needed the land to plant crops and to raise farm animals . The wild life would have had to compete with domestic animals for food, and if they didn't have a big enough food source they could have been a danger to humans. Although they usually do not attack humans, if they are hungry enough, panthers will attack.
I think what the settlers could have done is just to drive the panthers away far enough (to large areas that they were not being populated) so that they were not a danger to people. Then later they could have made a nature preserve for them. That way some of the original habitat would have been preserved and the food chain would not have been affected so much.

Riding for Charity
The Absa Cape Epic's two official charities, the Big Tree Foundation and JAG Foundation, aim to give back to the communities that host the race. But there are several more, with several teams riding for the charities of their choice in 2012.
From its inception in 2004, the founding crew at the Absa Cape Epic committed to helping the people living in and around the villages and towns that the race touches. We've heard the names Big Tree Foundation and JAG Foundation already – these are by now mature charities deeply involved in uplifting communities in the Western Cape. But it's not just the event organisation that is dedicating time and energy to helping others. In 2012, 94 teams rode under the banner of an official charity, raising funds to help causes closest to their hearts, many with considerable success – over R5m was collected.
Topping the list, at least monetarily, is Mark le Roux and Philip van der Merwe who've raised R460 000 for SAEP (The South African Environment and Education project), an award winning non-profit company, based in Philippi in the Western Cape, that aims to empower and expand the opportunities of South African township children. Le Roux says, "As fathers ourselves, we realise the importance of supporting our country's children in their earliest exposure to education. Their early childhood education program currently supports around 800 children and 10 schools – addressing children's basic needs such as school funding, proper nutrition, sanitation, and educational materials."

Father and son team, Andrew and Wesley Procter, of Team MTN Qhubeka 10ACITY rode in support of one of the most well-known charities in mountain biking, the distinctive yellow jerseys frequently spotted at races around the country. They believe strongly in the Qhubeka bike project, "In rural areas, kids' ability to get to school is severely hampered by a lack of reliable transport and infrastructure and by providing kids with a healthy means of transport, they can be physically fit and get to school on time." Through the Qhubeka organisation, children 'earn' their bikes by planting trees. "They're also helping protect the environment in which we, as fanatical mountain bikers, have the privilege to ride in. So everybody wins." So far, their efforts have raised R250 000.

One of the best-known organisations at the race is songo.info, not least because the logo appeared on the front of the leaders' yellow zebra jerseys of Burry Stander and Christoph Sauser every day in race week. John and Anton Sparks of Team Brothers in Arms were thrilled to have collected R150 000, "We went to one of their charity evening and were absolutely blown away by Songo Fipaza and his will to uplift the spirit of kids, who without a goal would most probably end up in the streets." Funds go towards the organisation's cycling facilities in Kayamandi, including a BMX track where youngsters practice their skills and develop their self esteem and sense of society."
Another notable team was foreign participants Andrew Sharkey (Hong Kong) and Graham Collins (Singapore) of Team CLIC Sargent. They rode in support of friends and colleagues who have battled cancer in the last year. Other charities represented included ICM Brain & Spine Institute, Safetynet, Mosaic and the Hemophilia Association of Mauritius.

The Absa Cape Epic event team conceived a program for riders who were unlucky not to gain an entry to the race. Prostective teams may still purchase one of the official charity entries available to riders via the Absa Cape Epic's official charities, The Big Tree Foundation and JAG Foundation. This year alone, JAG Foundation raised over R1m. Join the cause now if you still would like to ride the 10th anniversary race in 2013. There are still limited entries available.

That Spanish banks under an absolutely worst case scenario.
May need up to 78 billion US dollars to help fill.
Some of those holes left by bad loans that's far short as you say of the 126 billion dollars -- on offer from the EU.
-- -- will use the results of several audits to decide exactly how much to us -- for its banks but so there's still concerned that may need a full bailout.
That's why we've seen borrowing costs go so high.
But certainly as Spain battles its debt crisis is so the economy continues to suffer.
Earlier today I met with a small business -- who told us about some of the struggles she's facing.

During the Olympics, sometimes the agony of defeat includes actual agony. From wrestling to basketball to fencing to weightlifting (like Egypt's Khalil Mahmoud K Abir Abdelrahman's horrendous looking misstep, pictured on the left) we've seen some athletes during the 2012 Summer Games in London go down in some painfully spectacular fashions.
While the old adage ""No pain, no gain"" certainly applies to all Olympic sports, sometimes it's just ""All pain, no gain."" Check out our gallery of some of the most painful-looking, cringe-inducing injuries from this year's Olympics.

Gun Control Topics
Democracy Now!'s coverage of guns, gun control, gun-related violence, the NRA, and the mass shootings in Newtown, Aurora and beyond.
As the National Rifle Association pushes for armed guards in every school, we host a debate over what type of security measures should be taken in schools to prevent future tragedies. On Monday, the superintendent of Atlanta Public Schools proposed forming the school system's own police force. We're joined by Sean Burke, president of the School Safety Advocacy Council; and Damon Hewitt, an attorney with the NAACP Legal Defense and...Jan 16, 2013 | Story
Throughout its history, the National Rifle Association has portrayed itself as an advocate for individual gun owners' Second Amendment rights. But a new investigation finds the group has come to rely on the support of the $12-billion-a-year gun industry — made up of firearms and ammunition manufacturers and sellers. Since 2005, the NRA has collected as much as $38.9 million from dozens of gun industry giants, including Beretta USA;...Jan 16, 2013 | Story
Today we look back at 2012. In the most expensive election in U.S. history, President Barack Obama defeated Mitt Romney, forcing the Republicans to reconsider their policies, among others, around women and immigrants.

Standing stalwartly against any regulation of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, the National Rifle Association continues to block any gun-control laws whatsoever, and even trumpets its efforts to block the global Arms Trade Treaty, slated for negotiations at the United Nations this March.
"Blood on Your Hands": CODEPINK Interrupts NRA's Wayne LaPierre as He Calls for Guns in U.S. Schools
"NRA Killing Our Kids" — that was the message of CODEPINK activists as they interrupted the first public address by National Rifle Association chief Wayne LaPierre since the Sandy Hook massacre. LaPierre broke the NRA's post-Newtown silence on Friday by calling for armed guards in every school. CODEPINK protesters disrupted him by holding up banners reading "NRA Killing Our Kids" and "NRA: Blood On Your Hands."...Dec 26, 2012 | Story -
As the debate over gun control intensifies in the United States, work continues on an international treaty to regulate the global arms trade.

The initial shock of the latest semiautomatic weapon-fueled massacre has passed, but the grief only grows. Since President Barack Obama took office, there have been at least 16 major mass shootings, after which he has offered somber words of condolence and called for national healing. But what is really needed is gun control, serious gun control – as was swiftly implemented in Australia in 1996, after another...
After losing both her father and her brother to gun violence in St. Louis and later being victimized by domestic violence, Goldie Taylor purchased a gun for her own protection. On Monday, three days after the Newtown massacre, Taylor wrote: "After my father and brother were murdered, owning a gun made me feel secure. Now it's time to give it up." As President Obama vows new action on gun control, Taylor joins us to discuss her...Dec 20, 2012 | Story

Invisible Cities: Choose Your Own Opera
At LA's Union Station last Sunday, I saw composer Christopher Cerrone's opera based on Calvino's novel, also called Invisible Cities. The production managed to be at once extravagant and subtle, with the audience listening to the live performance on wireless headphones while wandering freely through an actual, historically scenic train station.

From Darmstadt to the Shopping Mall
There have been few additions to the canon of "classical" music from Africa, or most of southern Asia and Oceania. And yet, despite the efforts of extremists in various parts of the world, some form of music is created, performed, and listened to in every nation on the planet; music is one of the few pan-terrestrial human activities.

Societies with Polygamy don't work
- Details
- Published on Saturday, 18 February 2012 06:56
- Written by John Draper
- Hits: 2405
Perhaps in ancient times when the men kept getting killed in wars, it might have worked but now new research shows that polygamy causes greater levels of crime, violence, poverty and gender inequality. There are some small religious sects that practice it, notably fundamentalist Mormons, but Muslims are the largest group who currently allow polygamy. Because the Qur'an says that Mohamed did it, and if he had multiple wives it must be acceptable, then polygamy is OK. To be more precise, multiple wives are OK, not multiple husbands. Of course in today's sexually liberal world, we tend to think that if polygamy works for them, it's not immoral. That would be true if only one or two practised it but when whole societies do it, it's a problem. The concern is not just academic - Muslim countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan have no laws against it although the majority frown on it.
So what's wrong with it? Research conducted at the University of British Columbia found that societies have "systematically evolved away from it because of the social problems it causes". It's not just the gender inequality suffered by women, but there are problems for young men.
The scarcity of marriageable women in polygamous cultures:
- Leads to increased competition among men for the remaining unmarried women
- The greater competition increases the likelihood men will resort to criminal behavior to gain resources and women. Men feel they need to be wealthier to attract the women.
- Leads to significantly higher levels of rape, kidnapping, murder, assault, robbery and fraud.
Conversely, monogamous marriage decreases competition for younger and younger brides, increases the age of first marriage for females, decreases the spousal age gap and elevates female influence in household decisions which decreases total fertility and increases gender equality. By shifting male efforts from seeking wives to paternal investment, institutionalized monogamy increases long-term planning, economic productivity, savings and child investment.
Monogamy's institutionalization has been assisted by its incorporation by religions, such as Christianity. Monogamous marriage also results in significant improvements in child welfare, including lower rates of child neglect, abuse, accidental death, homicide and intra-household conflict, the study finds. These benefits result from greater levels of parental investment, smaller households and increased direct "blood relatedness" in monogamous family households.
Note that the wives may well say that they are happy with the arrangement. The husband's demands are shared and there are other women to share the work. The men are no doubt happy too! The problem is not the polygamous marriages as such but the effect it has on society as a whole.
This finding was backed by the history of cultures that were previously polygamous (for men) and became more successful when they banned the practice. Polygamy was outlawed in 1963 in Nepal, 1955 in India (partially), 1953 in China and 1880 in Japan.
The study's lead author, Prof. Joseph Henrich, says that monogamous marriage has largely preceded democracy and voting rights for women in the nations where it has been institutionalized.
It is clear that the path to a civilized society includes an end to polygamy. While the practice is legal and tolerated, the strong and wealthy will be favoured and democracy cannot flourish. But Islam says it's OK so another requirement is that Muslims must start to reject parts of their religion. If one part of their religion is wrong, maybe other parts are wrong too! The fact that many in Pakistan frown on polygamy is a good sign - there is hope yet.

What does it take to develop a compelling, innovative app for Nokia Lumia smartphones? For the developers of the TouchMountain app, it helps to be attracted to the Windows Phone UI. 'It was fascinating to find out how much you can do with a smartphone,' says André Meyer, a student and TouchMountain's main developer, 'and to learn how much potential we can find in this young platform.'
TouchMountain is a mobile tourist guide to finding mountain peaks. The app, which started as a 12-week university project, has been published by MIT-Innovation AG, a technology development company in Wollerau, Switzerland.
The TouchMountain app combines and integrates several mobile technologies to let Nokia Windows Phone users find and learn about nearby mountain peaks. TouchMountain uses the phone's camera and Augmented Reality to let users discover local mountains. The app then uses data from the phone's GPS sensor, accelerometer or gyro-sensor, digital compass, plus the Internet connection, to visualize recognized peaks on the phone's display. Users can also find peaks on a map or text list. To learn more about any peak, users tap a mountain peak on the screen; TouchMountain then offers information on more than 750,000 peaks worldwide, including elevation, distance from the user, live webcams, Wikipedia articles on the surroundings, and local weather. TouchMountain also features a compass, navigation, sharing, and pictures of the landscape that include images of annotated mountains.
You can meet André and see the app in action in this TouchMountain video.
To develop the TouchMountain client, Meyer and his colleagues used a variety of programming languages, third-party libraries, and developer tools, including the Telerik RadControls, a suite of UI controls for creating engaging and interactive UIs for Windows Phone apps. (Access to the Telerik suite is among the benefits of the Nokia Premium Developer Program, of which MIT Innovation AG is a member.) Meyer describes the RadControls as 'simply stunning' and adds that the experience was so good, his team also bought a license for Windows 8 and WPF applications. Along the way, valuable help was provided by both Nokia and Microsoft. 'Nokia and its employees do an amazing job with their developer platform', Meyer says, 'helping developers with questions, test devices, and other support.'
Next, Meyer and his colleagues are going to concentrate on promoting their application. They plan to use the geotargeted Promotions feature of Nokia Ad Exchange (NAX) to promote TouchMountain in other apps to users in countries where such an application is relevant. NAX is an easy-to-use, cross-platform ad exchange that links developers with more than 120 ad networks worldwide and enables payments in more than 200 countries.
Early feedback from TouchMountain users has been overwhelmingly positive, Meyer says, adding, 'We get absolutely incredible feedback from our users everywhere around the world.' Some users have even offered to add new features to the app, including translations into additional languages and new peaks for the database. Perhaps that's not surprising; TouchMountain's developers were also its first users. 'As avid outdoor athletes,' Meyer says, 'we always wanted to know the name of the wonderful mountains we found.' Now they, and other mountain fans worldwide, can.

Republicans haven't won a House seat in Massachusetts since 1994, and though they came within inches of knocking off 6th CD Democratic Rep.

Instead, the biggest target in 2014 will again be Tierney, who will likely...
House: Recent Updates
One look at Maryland's congressional district map is all it takes to realize Democrats can't claim the "moral high ground" on gerrymandering. In 2012, Democrats artfully altered their already-contorted map to safeguard all six of their incumbents and defeat 20-year GOP incumbent Roscoe Bartlett in the western corner of the state, for a 7-1 delegation. Now, the only question in 2014 is whether...
If you think about it, all the ingredients necessary for a political explosion are in place: Congress's unfavorable ratings are at record-high levels, and, according to Gallup, its favorable ratings are down to 9 percent (who knew members had so many friends and family?). A large segment of the electorate is furious with Republicans over the shutdown, and a second group is boiling over about...
One of the more common questions the Cook Political Report receives is, "Do you have a list of all the Tea Party challenges to Republican incumbents?" Or, the reverse: "Do you maintain a list of moderate challengers to Tea Party incumbents?" In reality, there are far fewer serious primary challenges to sitting House incumbents than most observers of Congress might guess, in part because...
The day after Election Day 2012, the worst fear for many Republicans was that the GOP's problems—in terms of the overall party brand and its image among minorities, young people, women, and moderates—would not improve. The biggest concern for many Democrats was that their success had peaked with President Obama's reelection and that it would all be downhill after that, most likely as a result...

Charlie Cook's Column
Uphill Battles
December 6, 2013The 2014 elections are now 11 months away, but the political scene has already undergone dramatic changes just in the past three months. Republicans went into a political free fall after the government shutdown, and shortly thereafter Democrats plunged into boiling water thanks to the botched launch of and early public reaction to the Affordable Care Act.

Jennifer and Sylvie's Passwords book project provided an opportunity for me to express a bit about my own story of what I have experienced on my journey. I feel that a lot of others like myself in my generation, have mixed emotions when it comes to religion, however I am not against it. There are so many different paths we all can take in today's world, and religion is only one of them. I feel it is important that we each find what we love to do, that which embraces us with the most comfort and joy. Follow your own heart's desire, whatever that may be, and allow others to do the same.
Seas of Love and Skies of Light,

2. What is the theory test and what is the pass mark?
3. Do I have to take the theory test?
4. Can I take the practical test first?
5. Why do the questions keep changing?
6. How do I prepare for the test?
8. When are test centres open?
10. How much does the test cost?
11. How do I cancel or postpone my test?
12. What documents do I need to bring to my driving theory test?
13. At the test centre, how will I know what to do?
14. If I don't pass, when can I take the test again?
15. Why do I have to retake both parts of the test if I only fail one?
16. What does the independent driving part of the practical test involve?

19. I have hearing difficulties - can I get any help?
20. Are all theory test questions in the official DSA publications applicable to Northern Ireland?
21. Can I practice driving my car on my own?
1. At what age can I learn to drive or ride?
Normally, for car drivers, the earliest date your provisional licence can become valid is your 17th birthday. You can apply for the licence up to three months before your 17th birthday however, you will still have to wait until your birthday before you can take your theory test.
If you are receiving disability living allowance at the higher rate your provisional licence will come into effect when you are 16, but you can apply for it within three months of your 16th birthday.
If you want to ride a moped (engine capacity not exceeding 50cc and maximum speed not exceeding 50Km/h) you can take your theory test when you are 16, but again you must make sure you have completed compulsory basic training (CBT) and have a valid provisional licence.
At 17 you can move from moped to learner motorbike. A learner motorcycle has an engine up to 125 cc and a power output not exceeding 11 kiloWatt (kW).
Riders aged 21 or over, or those who reach 21 before their two year restriction ends (25 kW and a power/weight ratio not exceeding 0.16 kW/kg), have other options after further practical assessment.
Drivers of large vehicles and buses must usually be over 21 years.
For more information on the vehicles you can drive or ride and minimum ages click here: www.direct.gov.uk/motoring
2. What is the theory test and what is the pass mark?
The driving theory test has two parts; part one is a multiple choice test and part two is a hazard perception test. You need to pass both parts on the same day to pass the theory test.
Multiple choice: A question and several possible answers will appear on a computer screen - you have to select the correct answer. Some questions may need more than one answer.
Some car and motorcycle questions will be given as a case study. The case study will:
- show a short story that five questions will be based on
- focus on real life examples and experiences that you could come across when driving.
Category | Time allowed | Pass mark |
Car and motorcycle | 57 minutes | 43 out of 50 |
Lorry and bus | 1 hour and 55 minutes | 85 out of 100 |
Hazard Perception: You'll then be shown a series of video clips on a computer screen. The clips feature every day road scenes contain at least one developing hazard - but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards.
The earlier you notice a developing hazard and make a response, the higher you will score. The most you can score for each developing hazard is five points.
To get a high score you need to:
- respond to the developing hazard during the early part of its development
- press the mouse button as soon as you see a hazard developing
Category | Video clips | Developing hazards | Pass mark |
Car and motorcycle | 14 clips | 15 | 44 out of 75 |
Lorry and bus | 19 clips | 20 | 67 out of 100 |
For more information on the theory test go to www.direct.gov.uk/theorytest.
3. Do I have to take the theory test?
If you are a learner driver you must take and pass your theory test before you book your practical test.
If you already have a driving licence, you might not have to take another theory test if you want to start driving a different vehicle:
- if you want a licence for a new category of vehicle, for example, if you have a car licence and you want a motorcycle licence you WILL need to take a theory test.
- if you want to upgrade within a vehicle category you will not normally need to take a theory test.
Foreign licence holders:
- If you hold a valid Community licence and you are visiting Great Britain, you can drive any vehicle for as long as your licence remains valid.
- If you hold a full driving licence issued outside the EEA it may be possible to exchange it for an equivalent British licence. You should contact the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) to find out if you can exchange your foreign licence. If you cannot exchange your foreign licence you will have to apply for a British provisional licence and take a theory and practical test.
Find out more here: direct.gov.uk/motoring.
4. Can I take the practical test first?
No. You have to pass your theory test before you can book a practical test.
5. Why do the questions keep changing?
To make sure that all candidates are being tested fairly, questions and video clips are under continuous review. Some questions may be changed as a result of customer feedback. They may also be changed to reflect revised legislation and DSA publications are updated to reflect such changes.
6. How do I prepare for the test?
To prepare for the theory test the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) recommend that all candidates study The Official Highway Code, Know Your Traffic Signs and the relevant books, CD-ROMs, DVDs or downloads from the official DSA range - written by the people who set the tests. You can also take mock multiple choice tests using the official DSA products.
For more information on the full range of DSA publications, visit the DSA publications section of this website.
7. Where can I take the test?
There are over 150 theory test centres throughout England, Scotland and Wales, and six in Northern Ireland. Most people have a test centre within 20 miles of their home but this will vary depending on the density of population in your area. Use the Theory Test Centre locator within selected official DSA software and interactive download products to help you find your nearest test centre, or check online at direct.gov.uk/motoring.
8. When are test centres open?
Test centres are usually open on weekdays, some evenings and some Saturdays. Check with your centre for full details.
9. How do I book my theory and practical tests?
Theory test appointments can be booked, and subject to three clear working days notice, be changed and cancelled using the DSA online booking service or the telephone. You can also download an application form and apply by post.
Book online here: direct.gov.uk/drivingtest or call 0300 200 1122.
10. How much does the test cost?
Make sure you book your test directly to avoid paying extra. Book online at direct.gov.uk/drivingtest

11. How do I cancel or postpone my test?
You can cancel or postpone your theory test online or by telephone. You should contact the booking office at least three clear working days before your test date, otherwise you'll lose your fee. Only in exceptional circumstances, such as documented ill-health or family bereavement, can this rule be waived.
Find out more here: direct.gov.uk/drivingtest.
12. What documents do I need to bring to my driving theory test?
You'll be expected to show both parts of your valid driving licence (the photocard and the paper counterpart) at the test centre. If you have an old-style licence without a photo you must also bring a valid passport.
13. At the test centre, how will I know what to do?
Once you have been registered at reception you'll go through to the test room. You aren't allowed to take anything into the room with you. All your personal items must be stored in the lockers provided.
Once you're in the test room you aren't allowed to talk to or distract other candidates.
The computer screen will display your name and the type of test you're taking.
If you have any problems during the theory test, you should raise your hand to attract the attention of a member of staff.
Before the test starts you'll be given instructions on how the test works. You can also choose to go through a practice session of the multiple choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practice session the real test will begin.
After the multiple choice part you can choose to have a break of up to three minutes before the hazard perception part starts. Before you start the hazard perception part, you'll be shown a short video clip about how it works.
When you have finished the test you can leave the test room - but you won't be able to go back in. You'll then be given your result by the test centre staff.
14. If I don't pass, when can I take the test again?
If you fail your test, you've shown that you're not fully prepared. You'll have to wait at least three clear working days before you take the theory test again. Good preparation will save you time and money.
15. Why do I have to retake both parts of the test if I only fail one?
It is really only one test. The theory test has always included questions relating to hazard awareness - the second part simply tests the same skills in a more effective way. The two parts are only presented separately in the theory test because different scoring methods are used.
16. What does the independent driving part of the practical test involve?
Your practical driving test will include approximately 10 minutes of independent driving.
During your test you'll have to drive independently by either following:
- traffic signs
- a series of directions
- a combination of both
To help you understand where you are going when following verbal directions, the examiner will show you a diagram.
For more information on independent drivers, see our page here.
17. My English is not very good - can I receive help?
If your first language is not English, or you can not read or understand written English well, you can request a voiceover in one of 21 languages. A voiceover allows you to hear the theory test instructions and questions through headphones. The questions will automatically be read out to you, you can hear the answer options by touching the text on the screen. You can hear the questions as many times as you like, you simply need to touch the text of the question onscreen again.
Foreign language voiceovers are available in the following languages:
Albanian, Arabic, Bengali, Cantonese, Dari, English, Farsi, Gujarati, Hindi, Kashmiri, Kurdish, Mirpuri, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Pushto, Spanish, Tamil, Turkish, Urdu, Welsh.
You will need to mention this at the time of booking.
18. I have reading difficulties - can I get any help?
If you have dyslexia or other reading difficulties you can ask for an English or Welsh voiceover. You can also request to have up to double time for the multiple choice part of the theory test. If you require more than the standard time of 57 minutes for the multiple choice part you will need to send in evidence of your reading difficulty to the theory test booking customer services.
19. I have hearing difficulties - can I get any help?
If you are deaf or have hearing difficulties you can ask to take the theory test in British sign language (BSL). The BSL interpretation will run alongside the standard test questions and answers. If you do not use BSL, an interpreter can be taken into the test centre. This facility needs to be arranged through the theory test customer services section. There is no extra fee for either facility.
20. Are all theory test questions in the official DSA publications applicable to Northern Ireland?
No. Some questions will not be used on theory tests in Northern Ireland: these are marked NI Exempt.
21. Can I practice driving my car on my own?
No. As a learner driver you must be supervised by a qualified driver and display L plates (L or D plates in Wales) in a conspicuous position on the front and rear of the vehicle you are driving. You must also have the minimum of third party insurance which covers your use of the vehicle. The accompanying driver must be over the age of 21 and must have held (and still hold) a full licence, in the relevant vehicle category, for three years.
If you can't find the answer to your question, please take a look at direct.gov.uk/motoring where you will find lots of helpful information.
Alternatively, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 0300 200 1122.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVY BASE, Cuba -- It was supposed to be a safe haven for six months. Now, 40 years later, dozens of Cuban day laborers have grown old in what they thought would be temporary residence in this U.S.-controlled corner of Cuba.
Theirs is a curious Cold War subculture - an aged, dwindling population of Cuban workers that chose to side with the U.S. Navy in the early, chaotic days of Fidel Castro's revolution.
Rather than move on and resettle in the United States, these exiles have continued to work and live here with special Pentagon dispensation, some still shunning offers of U.S. citizenship, in a limbo-like existence, while they wait to go home.
Meantime, these Cubans live in Navy housing - rent-free. They get the best Defense Department healthcare - cost-free.
Most have retired on U.S. government pensions, but about a dozen still work. One bags groceries for tips. Another walks each morning from his bachelor suite to his clerk's job at a Navy supply office. Two are waiters at the Windjammer, a restaurant and nightspot on this mostly sleepy 45-square-mile base where sailors and the 64 special Cuban residents live in suburban-style white stucco housing - alongside international terror suspects inhabiting seven-by-eight steel cells.
Although they have been community fixtures for years, their story is seldom told. After months of requests, the Navy finally let The Herald get a rare glimpse inside the lives of these Cubans who live with a special Pentagon status: "Long Term Visitors."
The Cubans here are people such as Paulina Wilson, 70, who as a nanny and housecleaner left her two children in her mother's care on the communist side in 1962. She has since remarried, raised two more children and these days runs the Navy Hospital's linen room, neither ready to retire nor to move on.
"It feels like Cuba because it's Cuban land, " she said, explaining why she has spurned suggestions that she relocate stateside.
And there's Ramón Ramírez, 59, who helped his grandfather deliver fruits and vegetables on a boat that plied the Guantánamo River. He moved onto this outpost on Dec. 28, 1959, after he realized that his grandfather was right - communism was coming to Cuba. He was 17.
"My grandfather said, 'If you want to stay alive or out of jail, you'd better stay here, ' " Ramírez said. He has visited the United States, but always comes back to the base known as Gitmo because, after four decades, it has become home.
"We have the only geriatric Navy housing anywhere, " said Navy Capt. Robert Buehn, the base commander. "Don't look for any regulations that cover this. It's a funny place. It evolved this way and we're just trying to take care of the people the right way."
The oldest of the "temporary guests" are 90 and 91, house-bound widows who require visiting nurse care. Once a month, a Navy volunteer takes them to the graves of their husbands, who died here and were buried on the base.
The youngest member of the base's Cuban community is José, 5, the son from a recent union between a septuagenarian Cuban waiter called "Boxer" and a Jamaican contract worker who is less than half his age. Because of his father's status here, the boy can live on the base through high school.
One of the men has for years taught judo and karate to Navy children.
Another resident is Gloria Martínez, 69, a grandmotherly figure who can be found most days working for tips at the checkout line of the Navy Exchange, Gitmo's grocery store.

For many heart patients and their families, how they cook is as important as what they cook. Reducing salt intake is often the biggest challenge. Controlling saturated fat and cholesterol consumption also is important.
To reduce salt:
* Don't add salt when you cook.
* Don't season meats and vegetables with prepackaged mixes, which often contain a lot of salt.
To reduce fat and cholesterol, don't fry foods in oil, which adds unwanted fat and calories.
Instead, the American Heart Association suggests these healthier techniques:
Stir-fry. Use a wok to cook vegetables, poultry and seafood in vegetable stock or a small amount of oil. Avoid high-sodium seasonings like teriyaki and soy sauce.
Microwave. This fast alternative doesn't add fat or calories.
Roast. Put a rack in the pan so the meat or poultry doesn't sit in its own fat drippings. Instead of basting the meat with pan drippings, use fat-free liquids like wine, tomato juice or lemon juice. When making gravy from the drippings, use a gravy strainer or skim ladle to remove the fat.
Grill or broil. Always use a rack so fat drips away from the food.
Bake. Bake foods in covered cookware with a little extra liquid.
Poach. Cook chicken or fish by immersing it in simmering liquid.
Saut. Cook in a nonstick metal pan; it allows you to use little or no oil without having food stick. You also can use a small amount of nonstick vegetable spray to keep food from sticking.
Steam. Steam vegetables in a basket over simmering water. They'll retain more flavors and won't need any salt.
For more heart-healthy recipes, visit Western Baptist's online heart care center at westernbaptist.com/heart. Click on the "Steps to Living Longer" link for holiday treats, appetizers, main dishes and more.
You also can make favorite recipes healthier by substituting ingredients to cut down on fat content. This table provided by the American Heart Association can get you started:
When your recipe says | Try this instead |
Whole milk (1 cup) | 1 cup fat-free or nonfat milk plus one tablespoon of unsaturated oil |
Heavy cream (1 cup) | 1 cup evaporated skim milk or 1/2 cup low-fat yogurt and 1/2 cup plain low-fat cottage cheese |
Sour cream | Low-fat cottage cheese plus low-fat or nonfat yogurt (fat-free sour cream also is available) |
Cream cheese | 4 tablespoons margarine blended with 1 cup dry low-fat cottage cheese; add a small amount of fat-free milk if needed |
Butter (1 tablespoon) | 1 tablespoon polyunsaturated margarine or 3/4 tablespoon polyunsaturated oil |
Shortening (1 cup) | 2 sticks polyunsaturated margarine |
Egg (1) | 1 egg white plus 2 teaspoons of unsaturated oil or commercially made, cholesterol-free egg substitute |
Unsweetened baking chocolate (1 ounce) | 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder or carob powder plus 1 tablespoon polyunsaturated oil or margarine. Carob is sweeter than cocoa, so reduce sugar in recipe by 1/4. |
