Detailed Expert Review On Force Motors Force Gurkha Car - 116902
Jun 01, 2013 : Expert Review By Aditya Chatterjee
Force Gurkha: The Alligator
This Pune based company has been growing very steadily in the Indian market. Being the pioneers to get MPVs and MUVs in India, Force Motors has always come up with convincing tough all terrain transport solutions.
The Matador, Traveller and Trax have been extremely popular in their own segments. Force was also flexible to change and upgrade with time. Their product line up ranges from the lightest Trump truck series to the world's first monocoque body Traveller 26. Being confident about their commercial vehicle section, Force ventured into personal car space with the Force One. Launched in 2011, the Force One clearly proved that the company is serious about the SUV market in India.
In an extension to this, Force re-launched the Gurkha which they claim is built for war. The Gurkha was launched in 2008 but back then the market has not evolved as much as the numbers sold were very few. With the 2013 Gurkha, Force makes up for the demerits of Mahindra Thar.
With a segment first, differential lock technology, the Gurkha clearly scores above the Thar but then is that enough to justify the higher price tag? We test the Gurkha on an extremely tough off-road track prepared in house by Force Motors.

Detailed Expert Review On Force Motors Force Gurkha Car - 116902
In 2008, the Gurkha was just a shorter looking Trax. The theme of Gurkha is very simple and lucid. There are no curves and lines. This is a pure bred no non sense looking vehicle. It draws its inspiration from the G Wagon and the styling screams the same.
The facia of the Gurkha is identical to the G-Wagon with the straights and corners cut in the same fashion. The round headlamps and fog lamps look very crisp. The only letdown on the front face is the plastic radiator grille. It looks tacky and unfinished. The Gurkha is available in three colors only which include the Copper red, Dragon Green and the Matt black. My favorite is the Matt Black as that is the closest it gets to the G Wagon.
It has turn indicators mounted on the hood which is useful while going through water bodies. It has a flat head bonnet which is very difficult to open especially in hot day conditions. There is also a beefy steel Snorkel planted. Apart from making the vehicle look good, it also helps the engine suck in clean air as well as helps the vehicle wade water of upto 550mm.
The Gurkha is available in both hard top and soft top 3 door versions. Personally, I love the hard top as it has a better profile but for the adventure seekers the soft top will score more. In the hard top, the flat hood line is paired with a taut A-pillar and then a hard roofline. In the Soft top, there is a cover mounted on the roof. There are also grilles mounted on the rear. The straight wheel arches have a body extension cladding which runs uniformly along the lower profile of the body. This cladding is done in Aluminum silver. There are heavy duty provided on both sides and indeed help getting inside the tall cabin.
The doors lack thud and appear tacky. It lacks finishing. The ORVMs and door handles are not body colored. The ORVMs appear small and are not very effective. The new alloy wheel design looks sporty and adding to the macho character are the 245/70 R16 tyres. The Gurkha also has the best ground clearance of 210mm. The area wherein the Gurkha scores heavily is its off-roading capability. It can take on gradients upto 40 degrees. It has an approach angle of 37 degrees and a departure angle of 34 degrees.
Rear profile reminds me of the Land Rover Defender. Spare wheel mounted on the rear door makes it look real tough. The small circular taillamps, turn indicators and reverse lights embedded on the rear bumper give it a very classy look. It also has the new "Gurkha" badge attached on it with the E.O.V (Extreme Off-Road Vehicle) badge on the other side.
Ignoring the tacky plastics, the Gurkha looks extremely good for a all terrain vehicle. It gets you closest to a G-Wagon looking vehicle at a low cost. The Gurkha has no ounce of extra flab on its body. With a military cut design, this design will click with hard core off-roading enthusiasts.

If you spend lot of time grooming yourself, setting your hair, getting the correct tie with the right shirt you might like to excuse yourself from the mighty Gurkha. The Gurkha interiors are bare basics and do very minimal in comforting the passengers.
The instrumental panel is older than basic. It shows little more than the one in Maruti 800. Sadly, in interiors the Gurkha does not climb the fence as the Thar scores heavily with its comparatively better instrumental setup. The seats are decent but can do with more cushioning. Surprisingly, the front row seats are equipped with arms rests which is of huge benefit on long journeys. Headroom is good while the legroom takes a beating.
Since it has 3 doors, the rear passengers can get inside after collapsing the front seats. This entire arrangement is not very comfortable as firstly, it is a tall vehicle to get inside and secondly the front seat collapse levers are not very efficient.
Talking features inside the car, the AC is the only one. It has a flat horizontally mounted unit on the slim dashboard. The vents work if they wish to. The AC cooling is not sufficient and may leave you boiling under the hot sun especially if the wanderer in you decided to take it on challenging terrains.
There are no utility space options. If you wish to carry a bottle of water, cups etc you might want to shove it in your bag. The absence of storage options makes the cabin less practical for mundane usage. The hard top has front facing seats while the soft sop has bench facing seats. The storage area in hard top is generous while that on soft top is enormous.
So interiors and stowage factor is less in the new Gurkha. This is the only area where competition would be smiling. Let's hope the company takes all these points into consideration while coming out with the second generation Gurkha.

We are talking of a vehicle which is totally military in its approach. It has a chiseled body on outside and the interiors are not lazily comforting. The reason why we are calling the Gurkha, an alligator is because of its go anywhere capabilities.
Right from childhood, I was never an outdoor adventure freak though I did have my share of fun. Trekking and mountain climbing always seemed to be very challenging. It was not scare but lack of interest I chose to shy away from all these activities.
When Force Motors invited us at their off-roading track, I was skeptical as I have not done such serious off-roading. Seeing the off-road track, it was difficult to imagine to how a vehicle can go through this type of terrain. There were potholes sizing moon craters. Inclines and Steep drops which can make the vehicle topple. Lastly, it was the water wading patch which looked very interesting.
We strapped ourselves in the Gurkha and began our test drive. I was filled with all the technical knowhow about tackling different terrains and the scheme of locking the differentials but then on ground zero, things looked blurry.
I started battling the craters and was supremely impressed the way Gurkha was tackling it. Throw the Gurkha anywhere and it stubbornly stops to halt. The Gurkha keeps on crawling no matter how challenging the terrain is. The moment we got stuck in a ditch and were not able to get out, just pull the particular differential lock (front/rear) and the vehicle is back in motion.
There is also an option of choosing the drive mode. Using the hi-tech transfer case and a lever one can easily shift into 4x2 High, 4x4 High or 4x4 low. The differential lock comes into play once the vehicle is stuck and one of the wheels is in air or on a soft surface. It transfers traction to the wheel on the surface which helps the vehicle evade the necessary surface.
The Gurkha is powered by aOM616 Mercedes Benz TD2650 FTI BS-3 Turbo charged engine. It has a displacement of 2596cc and produces a power output of 82 PS at 3200 rpm and a torque of 230Nm at a range between 1800 to 2000 rpm. It is offered in a 5 speed Mercedes G1-18manual transmission.
The pattern of gear shift in Gurkha is unlike a conventional type. It has a Dog leg layout. Traditionally, this layout was used in cars where in the shifting focus was more from second to third than from first to second. In the Gurkha too, the intention is the same. However, shifting to first is a herculean task. There were some occasions when I was using both my hands to shift it to first. The gear stick is located at a very peculiar location.
Considering the fact that this was a very short track drive, the vehicle has a short turning radius of 5.8m but then it is not easy to maneuver as the steering wheel felt too big. Also, since it is a tall vehicle with such short turning radius, it was losing traction on sharp maneuvers. Brakes did a decent job with twin-pot 4 piston caliper disc brakes in front and drum type for rear.
One thing that really scored was the suspensions. The Gurkha has a solid torsion bar with hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers along with ant-roll bar for front suspensions. The suspensions just refused to give it and performed extremely well. We tried torturing the Gurkha in the most extreme way possible but there was no let down. I am sure if we tried this on any other vehicle, a tow truck would have taken the vehicle back.

Detailed Expert Review On Force Motors Force Gurkha Car - 116902
Do the drawbacks in features and finishing influence our decision against the Gurkha? Absolutely Not!! The Gurkha is one of its kinds in the SUV segment. This vehicle is a real Sports Utility Vehicle unlike the pseudo ones which carry the tag as they have flab around their waistline.
After completing the off road track testing, it was proved that the Gurkha can take on extreme terrain without any hassles. It is for someone who won't think twice before venturing into wild and lost. This one can make Ladakh a playground with its differential lock mechanism.
The Gurkha is available in BS-3 variant and a BS-4 is expected in the next 8-10 months. Force motors is very modest about its products. The other strong reason behind bringing the Gurkha in BS3 is also to support the dealers with more products other than the Force One. The Force One will also be getting two additional variants in the next two months which include the Base version and an ABS 4x4 version.
When asked bluntly if the Gurkha will be locking horns against the Thar, the company officials accepted that it does not intend to as the numbers are very small. With the new Gurkha, the company wants to get a market feedback and learn from the acceptability. Force agrees that as a brand there is lot more to learn and grow. The company is also planning on increasing its dealership across the country.
I would recommend the Force Gurkha very strongly to the hard core off roading junkies. This car is no poser car and is not good for the mundane. However, to break the mundane, the Gurkha should be sufficient. This Alligator won't take things lying down but instead will gulp anything that comes its way.
Starts at Rs. 6.39 - Rs. 8.69 lakhs

text: Deals Fon raises $14 million from Qualcomm to boost sharing of Wi-Fi, music Above: Fon's router, the Fonera, lets you share Wi-Fi with other Fon customers.Image Credit: Fon January 20, 2014 10:20 AM Dylan Tweney 0 Successful CMOs achieve growth by leveraging technology. Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston, where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited. Request your personal invitation here! Spanish Wi-Fi sharing company Fon has raised $14 million from Qualcomm Ventures. It's an indication that Fon's collective approach to sharing bandwidth, while slow-growing, still has some attraction to investors — particularly a strategic investor like Qualcomm, which makes chips for broadband wireless communications. It might also be finding some traction now that the notion of "collaborative consumption" is catching on, thanks to startups like AirBnB and Lyft — although Fon predates those startups by several years. Fon will use the funding to develop a new device, based on Qualcomm's Atheros chipset, that enables users to share music as well as their broadband signals, Recode reports. In addition, Qualcomm will build Fon's Wi-Fi sharing capabilities into its own Atheros chipset, GigaOm states. Fon has also struck a deal with Facebook so you can share your Wi-Fi with your Facebook friends whenever they come over to visit you "in real life." (That might not be often, as it turns out, since most of us see very few of our Facebook friends IRL.) Fon's main business is selling a hotspot device, the $49 Fonera, which shares some of your Internet bandwidth with other Fon users. In exchange, you get to use the shared bandwidth on other people's Fonera routers for free. That's an attractive model if you have more bandwidth than you need to use most of the time and you like the idea of being able to travel and have access to free hotspots. The new Fonera, which is currently available on the company's website, includes the ability for your Facebook friends to log on to your Wi-Fi using Facebook Connect. For carriers, it can help shift data load off their cellular networks and onto more manageable Wi-Fi hotspots that are connected to wireline data networks. The company has found much more traction in Europe (particularly France and the U.K.) and in Brazil than it has in the U.S., where carriers are opposed to the notion of rampant Wi-Fi sharing. It may also be a more effective business model in densely-populated areas, where the odds of finding a hotspot to share are greater, given the limited range of Wi-Fi signals. Fon has been around since 2006 and is currently used in more than 12.3 million hotspots worldwide, according to its website. Previous investors, who contributed about $58 million prior to this round, include Sequoia Capital, Index Ventures, Google, and Skype (now owned by Microsoft). The last funding round was in 2011.

Gemini is symbolized by the Twins which is a mutable/air sign. The ruling planet of this sign is the Mercury. Gemini people are many sided, quick both in the mind and physically. Thus, they are witty, lively, communicative, intellectual and versatile. They can also be too inquisitive, nervous, superficial and cunning. Their best mates are Virgo, Libra, and Sagittarius.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might want to make this a lazy day. You could be so busy that you won't realise the strain of the hectic pace. Touch base with a dear friend, whom you often confide in. Let go of needing to have your way in a close relationship.

text: I want to be an educator to serve people. I genuinely care about the success of others, and want to help them succeed. Providing knowledge is one of the most important tools for success in life. With knowledge, we are able to pursue the many different avenues in life and careers. What motivates me to be an educator is for the "ah-ha" moment. It's that moment where a student makes the connection, and completely understands the lesson I am teaching. Being an educator is one of the most important tasks, because we are providing children with a powerful resource, so they can have a future in something that sparks their interest . I want to be the person who helps motivate, encourage, and develop a child when that spark of interest has risen or a certain talent emerges. In society today, a child needs this encouragement to be successful and stay focused. Being a part of something important like the Education Field is crucial to my lifes fullfillment. I enjoy seeing the development of something new completely blossom to its fullest potential. This feeling is magnified even further when it comes to the education field. Watching someone develop educationally is not just a career to me, it is my motivation, and the adrenalize from the "ah-ha" moment makes it all worthwhile.

Senate approval of judicial nominations took a step in the sane direction this week as eight Republicans voted with Democrats to break a GOP-led filibuster against Arizona Supreme Court Justice Andrew D. Hurwitz and his nomination to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Hurwitz's nomination had been blocked because Hurwitz supports abortion rights. "The much-criticized viability cut-off point that formed the basis of Roe came directly from Judge Newman's opinion," said Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the ranking Republican on the Judiciary committee, later adding: "I think by any fair measure, it is impossible to read Justice Hurwitz's article and not conclude that he wholeheartedly embraces Roe, and importantly, the constitutional arguments that supposedly support it. "
It is worth noting that Grassley is leading the charge against renewal of the Violence Against Women Act in the Senate for some context on how supportive the Senator is of women's rights.
Among those who voted with Democrats were both Arizona Senators Jon Kyle and John McCain. The other Republicans who joined the vote were Senators Lamar Alexander (R-TN.), Scott Brown (R-MA.), Susan Collins (R-ME), Richard Lugar (R-IN.), Lisa Murkowski (R- AK) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) also voted in favor, as did the Senate's two independents, Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
Democrat and abortion-rights foe Joe Manchin (D-WV) broke with his party to oppose the confirmation.
Hurwitz's nomination advancing is good news, but it's too early to say that it is a sign Republicans are moving away from their extreme positions of the past three years on all matters of the federal judiciary and abortion rights. But for this moment a qualified and reasonable judge who has expressed his support of Roe is one step closer to filling a seat on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In our current political climate, that deserves some recognition.

Now let's see how long it takes to get confirmation approved. That Joe Manchin voted with the repubs on the losing side doesn't surprise me at all. The Dems I know from WV are very upset with him and his legislative record. He is no Robert Byrd that's for sure. Thanks for the article Jessica.
Good news. It's way past time our Congress started governing and stopped the partisan nonsense.
It's about time Republicans stopped blocking every single thing and started working for the country instead of the extremists.

Taking some pressure off parents...
"How do you calculate the volume of a sphere?" or "What's the difference between an element and a compound?" are probably not questions you want to hear at the end of a long day.
Parents often say that helping their child with homework in the evenings can be stressful. Students can get frustrated, tension can be high near exam times, and for some parents it has been a few years since studying those subjects themselves.
The library provides free yourtutor access - online, on-demand help from real-life local teachers and tutors. This means that when a student has a question in maths, English, writing, the sciences and more, they can get some guidance, without needing to ask mum or dad. The online tutor will never 'give' an answer, students will build confidence, critical thinking, and come to an answer independently, and parents are relieved of the pressure to be 'subject experts' after-hours.
Students can sign up for their own library member card number to sign in for free, from the library or from home. http://yourtutor.com.au/watch

The Heartland Institute is "the world's most prominent think tank promoting skepticism about man-made climate change."
— The Economist, May 26, 2012
The Heartland Institute is a 31-year-old national nonprofit organization devoted to discovering, developing, and promoting free-market solutions to social and economic problems. Heartland's Center on Climate and Environmental Policy promotes pro-environment policies based on sound science and economics, not alarmism or ideology. Our strong stand against the politicization of science on matters of public health and the environment have earned us the enmity of many liberal public health and environmental groups and their allies in the mainstream media.
In 2012, The Economist called Heartland "the world's most prominent think tank supporting skepticism about man-made climate change." The New York Times called us "the primary American organization pushing climate change skepticism." We also address other environmental issues including renewable portfolio standards (RPS), clean air standards, smart drilling and hydraulic fracturing, sustainable development, food safety, and more.
Through events, publications, social media, and government relations programs we have changed public opinion on climate change and other environmental topics, and consequently helped change public policy not only in the U.S. but in other countries as well. In 2015, we plan to . . .
■ Publish and promote the third volume in the most important series of books on global warming: Climate Change Reconsidered II: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerabilities.
■ Host the largest gathering of global warming "skeptics" in the world, the Tenth International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC-10) in Washington, DC.
■ Publish the most influential monthly publication on environmental issues sent to every national and state elected official, Environment & Climate News.
■ Produce a dozen other books, booklets, policy studies, and a new edition of Ten Principles of Energy Policy, and send them to tens of thousands of the most influential people in the world.
■ Distribute more than 150,000 copies of our "Global Warming: Crisis or Delusion?" flier and poster.
■ Conduct a comprehensive communications campaign including online and social media, public speakers, exhibiting, direct mail, and more to confront "junk science" and oppose unnecessary regulations and government spending.
■ Work with allies in other countries to oppose global warming alarmism there.

The fossil of an ancient worm-like creature, which had legs, spikes and a head difficult to distinguish from its tail, has finally been placed in the evolutionary tree of life.
A new study suggests that your diet can trigger genetic effects that cause you to age more rapidly, according to a recently completed study at the University of Southern California Davis.

7.92 x 57mm Mauser
This article has many issues. Please help fix them or discuss these issues on the talk page.
The 7.92x57mm Mauser, aka 8mm Mauser round is a German bullet first used in the G98 Mauser rifle. Other German rifles chambered (Size of the bullet the gun can take) in 7.92x57mm include weapons such as the K98, MG34, MG42, FG42, G41, and G43. A variant (Different style) of the 7.92x57mm, the 7.92x33 mm "8mm Kurz", was created as an intermediate cartridge intended to be used in urban warfare, as the German army learned from fighting in cities, mainly in Russia after Operation Barbarossa. The 8mm Kurz was used in the STG44. This round, weapon, and concept was picked up and expanded on by the Russians after the war, and this led up to the development of the 7.62x39mm cartridge used in the SKS45, AK47 (and varients), and the RPD light machine gun.

great value pepper mill
so glad I bought this rather than a new pepper mill. Works great, not sure why previous reviewer did not receive a pepper mill as stated

not a mill
Please note, I ordered this last week, and contrary to the description it is not a mill, just a bottle of peppercorns.

The peppercorns are good quality but the packaging is very unreliable. Sometimes it grinds perfectly, other times the plastic buckles, the lid pops off and the entire contents of the grinder go over your food or, worse, in your pot. On balance, it's not worth to risk of a ruined meal or dinner party.

Cover popped out twice!
It might just be a packaging defect but the black lid came unscrewed twice when I was about to grind the mill, on separate occasions, spilling whole peppercorns all over the food I had prepared. Would be good if they made sure it could stay screwed on tightly somehow..but otherwise, the peppercorns are full of flavour.
Oriental-style Chicken with Guacamole

Steak Slice with Lemon & Thyme
This recipe, or rather the method, was suggested to me by my agent Ed Victor, and so is known familiarly as Ed's Tender Rump. The method is this: instead of marinating the meat before cooking, you marinate it after; it really does keep it extraordinarily tender. Please feel free to play around with the herbs; I think Ed himself uses oregano rather than the thyme I love. I like this with broccoletti or those leggy tender-stem broccoli. A couple of packets, lightly cooked, drained, and sitting in the marinade after the beef's out and sliced, is the most heavenly accompaniment. And I can't tell you how good both steak and broccoli are cold later.

Treacle-Cured Salmon
This Treacle-Cured Salmon is a delicious alternative to smoked salmon. It is ideal for the festive season because you can prepare it ahead of time and it will last for up to a week in the fridge. The fresh and zingy cucumber pickle offers a sharp contrast to the richness of the salmon. Part of our Daily Brunch with Ocado recipe collection.

October 14 – November 13, 2010 Opening Reception Thursday, Oct 21, 6 - 8 pm
Ricco/Maresca Gallery is excited and honored to present Home.Sweet.Home, a unique collaboration between renowned playwright/filmmaker Neil LaBute, and artist/photographer Gerald Slota, delving deep into the skeleton-ridden closets of domestic Americana.
Published in part for the first time in Aperture's Fall 2009 issue, the exhibition was the culmination of twisted phrases provided by LaBute simply known as "thoughts," which Slota then developed into sinister digital montages in order to bring them to life. Pushing one another to the darkest corners of their psyches, they found that the harder each one pressed, the more inspired each became. Both known for their ability to transform otherwise innocuous situations into wickedly enticing concepts, their individual talents combined to create disturbingly beautiful pieces which manifest the latent malevolence of even the most seemingly benign of souls.
Though never having met in person during the entire process, corresponding entirely through email, LaBute and Slota continually challenged each other's artistry and imaginations; each image and underlying message pealing back the layers of pretension to reveal the haunting truth behind their characters' facades. When viewing the world through LaBute and Slota's looking glass, nothing is sacred: the underbelly of humanity stands mischievously exposed.
Neil LaBute is a writer/director for theater, film, and television, and, on occasion, writes short stories and non-fiction. His new play, "The Break of Noon," will premiere in NYC this fall, and another new work, "In a Forest, Dark and Deep," will debut in London's West End in early 2011.
Gerald Slota has been widely exhibited across the US and abroad. His work is included in collections at the LA County Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of Art. His images have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, BOMB, Blindspot, ARTNEWS, and Art in America.

Good Points
Good articals (if you are interested in fashion)
Good photoshoots
Freebies are always good quality
Bad Points
Lots of advertisements
Not much of a read on the beach/in office
General Comments
Vogue magazine is the best known magazine yet the contents are questionable at the best times. I myself believe that when you pay in excess of £2 you expect something to read. The teenage version has more articles. Also the clothes prices are high ended so that if you couldn't afford them you would be very jealous. However the photos are good and if you're trying to advertise something it maybe a good idea, although I doubt someone would pay this much for advertisements they pay for through their teeth.
Stupid question at the end of this 'would I recommend this to a friend?'Yes if they like photography, fashion and advertisements. No if they want something to read!

- "My father and mother are the richest on the island... and that includes Councilor Morvayn."
- ―Mirri Severin[src]
Mirri Severin is a Dunmer who lives on Solstheim.
She is purportedly the daughter of Vendil Severin and Tilisu Severin and part of a wealthy family that has contributed to Raven Rock.
Served ColdEdit
Mirri is one of three named characters trying to assassinate Lleril Morvayn due to his ordered assassination of their ancestor. The Dragonborn will be asked to find proof of her and her parent's involvement in the assassination attempt and will ultimately end up killing them.
- When passing by Mirri, she may state an attraction to the Dragonborn.
- The Severin family has hired members of the Morag Tong to assassinate Lleril Morvayn.
- If not killed in the Severin Manor, Mirri will be later encountered in the Morag Tong hideout, dressed in Morag Tong Armor. Her Dunmer Clothes are nowhere to be found.
- When using the command console to reveal Mirri's relationships, it is revealed that Mirri is supposedly Vendil's lover and not his daughter, while Tilisu is listed as a co-conspirator, not a relative.
- When Adril Arano is asked about the Severin family, he mentions how people have noticed that Mirri appears close in age to Vendil, giving support to the actual relationships mentioned above.
- Sneaking into Severin Manor while Mirri and Vendil are the only ones there can also allow you to eavesdrop on a conversation that involves Vendil expressing worry that Tilisu is catching on to their affair. The conversation ends with Mirri telling him not to worry, with the word "father" at the end being in quotes if your subtitles are active.

Symptoms of a female's heart attack can be very different than those in a man, and as a result, may often be misdiagnosed. Women are more likely to suffer pain in the jaw, back and shoulder than are men.
Signs & Symptoms of Heart Disease for Women
Studies have shown that the signs and symptoms of heart disease for women are often different from those for men, and may often be misdiagnosed or ignored as something else. This is why women should become more educated in the signs and symptoms.
Symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease
Symptoms of a Heart Attack
Common heart attack symptoms are shortness of breath, unusual fatigue, cold sweat, dizziness, discomfort in the back or chest, nausea or a burning sensation in the chest or abdomen.
Angina or pain in the chest should be regarded as dangerous in women, just as in men. If you do not have a nitroglycerine prescription, you should call 911 if the pain persists for five or more minutes. If you do have a prescription, take one pill and put it under your tongue. Wait five minutes, and if the pain persists, call 911.
Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is the rapid and irregular beating of the heart. When this happens, the heart cannot efficiently pump blood out of the heart, and as a result the blood might pool in the heart chambers, which increases the chance of a blood clot. Signs of atrial fibrillation are weakness, light-headedness, shortness of breath, chest pains and heart palpitations.
All signs and symptoms discussed signify a warning that something dangerous may be happening within your body. These should be treated as such, and you should seek immediate medical attention. Call 911, rather than get someone to drive you to the hospital. The ambulance will have EMTs who are trained in dealing with heart problems, and they will also have equipment onboard to immediately start treating you.

Operation Peace for NetanyahuHere, with perfect timing, organized
precisely now, just two months before the elections, comes an escalation in
the south: Bombing led to the firing of missiles, which led to bombing, and
so on and so forth.
By Tamar Gozansky<http://www.haaretz.com/misc/writers/tamar-gozansky-1.476639>
05:35 16.11.12 | 0
Their chests puffed out with importance, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
and Defense Minister Ehud Barak announced to the media and the public the
start of another war, this time in Gaza. As was to be expected, the two
waved the time-worn excuse of "a war of no choice," and as was to be
expected, politicians from Kadima and the Labor Party also grabbed onto
this excuse; from their point of view, bombing the Gaza Strip is a reason
to salute the government.
Experience has taught us time and again that at the start of every war, the
government declares festively that this time there will be an end to the
firing of rockets on Israeli towns and villages. But then every time yet
another war comes around that is supposed to solve the problem "once and
for all." Lies follow deception, which follows the intoxicating illusion of
In the past year, Netanyahu and his partners prepared us for a big military
campaign against Iran, explaining to us time after time that Iran is an
"existential threat." But for a war against Iran, it is still necessary to
have an American partner, and that partner, so far, has not given Netanyahu
the go-ahead, and thus, as he announced, the war against Iran has been
delayed until the spring.
But meanwhile there are elections; Netanyahu and Barak apparently said to
themselves, So if there is no war against Iran, how can we arrange things
in a way that suits an election campaign by the right-wing coalition
partners, which embrace the settlers on the one hand and the families of
the tycoons on the other? So here, with perfect timing, organized precisely
now, just two months before the elections, comes an escalation in the
south: Bombing led to the firing of missiles, which led to bombing, and so
on and so forth.
Even the Netanyahu-Lieberman-Barak government knows that the bombing of
Gaza, and even an invasion, by the IDF will not solve any problems. It is
worth recalling that on November 27, 2008, Barak - who was also defense
minister then, in Ehud Olmert's government - declared the beginning of
Operation Cast Lead, that war that was supposed to deal Hamas a decisive
beating. And now, four years later, this same Barak is again waging war,
and again on Gaza. And now, again, they are stuffing us full of the wonders
of assassinations and destruction, so long as they can fool the Israeli
public that this time the problem will be solved.
But the similarity between the war that has just begun and Operation Cast
Lead is not merely the bluff that it will be a matter of "bang and we're
finished." Both now and in 2008, the war had a transparent political aim:
to inflame the public atmosphere and in this way get more votes in the
Knesset elections. Therefore a suitable name for the war that has just
started is "Operation Peace for Netanyahu," or, if you prefer, "Operation
Peace for Netanyahu and Barak," and not the rather poetic name, "Pillar of
War always was, and still is, a very powerful tool for wiping social
problems off the table, for hiding the worsening housing crisis and the
daily price increases for basic commodities, as well as for justifying the
harsh spending cuts in the 2013 budget. In short, they tell us: Sit quietly
and let us waste another NIS 15 billion on another war, and then let us
justify the budget cuts still to come in unemployment benefits, child
allowances, hospital care, education and infrastructure.
Sometimes I wonder: How much longer the two peoples, Israelis and
Palestinians, will have to suffer until the penny drops we finally
understand that military force does not solve the problem of rockets on
Israeli communities, and does not ensure a tranquil childhood for the
children of Sderot and Ashkelon?
During the last war, Operation Cast Lead, we chanted at demonstrations: "In
Gaza and Sderot, the children want to live." I hereby commit myself to
continue chanting that same cry for life in the demonstrations we shall
hold against the present war, and on behalf of peace between Israel and the
Palestinian state that will arise alongside it.
A Pillar Built on Sand
November 16, 2012 � Leave a
The great John Mearsheimer has a brilliant piece on the LRB
It is the most comprehensive historical and political analysis of recent
developments in Gaza. Two passages in particular bear highlighting. The
first one is about Israel�s long-standing strategy:
John Mearsheimer
Israel�s leaders have a two-prong strategy for dealing with their
Palestinian problem. First, they rely on the United States to provide
diplomatic cover, especially in the United Nations. The key to keeping
Washington on board is the Israel
which pressures American leaders to side with Israel against the
Palestinians and do hardly anything to stop the colonisation of the
Occupied Territories.
The second prong is Ze�ev Jabotinsky�s concept of the �Iron Wall�: an
approach that in essence calls for beating the Palestinians into
submission. Jabotinsky understood that the Palestinians would resist the
Zionists� efforts to colonise their land and subjugate them in the process.
Nonetheless, he maintained that the Zionists, and eventually Israel, could
punish the Palestinians so severely that they would recognise that further
resistance was futile.
Israel has employed this strategy since its founding in 1948, and both Cast
Lead and Pillar of Defence are examples of it at work. In other words,
Israel�s aim in bombing Gaza is not to topple Hamas or eliminate its
rockets, both of which are unrealisable goals. Instead, the ongoing attacks
in Gaza are part of a long-term strategy to coerce the Palestinians into
giving up their pursuit of self-determination and submitting to Israeli
rule in an apartheid state.
The second passage is about the timing of this particular assault:
The timing of the present operation is easy to explain. For starters,
President Obama has just won a second term despite Netanyahu�s transparent
attempt to help Mitt Romney win the election. The prime minister�s mistake
is likely to have hurt his personal relations with the president and might
even threaten America�s �special relationship� with Israel. A war in Gaza,
however, is a good antidote for that problem, because Obama, who faces
daunting economic and political challenges in the months ahead, has little
choice but to back Israel to the hilt and blame the Palestinians.
The Israeli prime minter faces an election of his own in January and asMitchell
Plitnick writes<http://www.lobelog.com/continued-us-support-for-israeli-bombing-of-gaza-bodes-ill-for-obamas-second-term/>,
�Netanyahu�s gambit of forming a joint ticket with the fascist Yisrael
Beiteinu party has not yielded anything close to the polling results he had
hoped for.�* A war over Gaza not only allows Netanyahu to show how tough he
is when Israel�s security is at stake, but it is also likely to have a
�rally round the flag� effect, improving his chances of being re-elected.*

Lol - yes but these explanations aren't all that satisfactory. Earth is moving fast, Qo'onos is moving fast. We can't beam you out of a volcano or from inside the katric ark (which in fairness might be shielded) but we luckily can beam you from one planet to a specific deserted location on another planet?
A repeated theme in this movie that seemed surprisingly consistent: it's a lot easier to beam someone DOWN than it is to beam them back again. Thinking back, this seems to be the case in the STXI as well: beaming Spock down to the surface is a pushbutton operation, but beaming him and the council back to the ship is "I have your signal. Don't move! Transport in five... four.. three... OH NOES!"
TOS is actually what set the precedent for this one. Apparently beaming people down is so easy that you don't even need to have a solid understanding of where you're beaming them to, hence Kirk accidentally beams two security officers into deep space because he never bothers to check to see whether or not the Enterprise is anywhere near the beamdown site.
Was it sheer luck that Harrison transported at the exact time that the planetary locations were aligned or can they beam through the hot centre of planets but not volcanoes?
With transwarp beaming, you can go through just about anything, including shields, warp fields, the hulls of starships, water tanks, etc. However, you have to really know what you're doing and your equations for your destination solution have to be perfect, otherwise the transwarp beam will wander off target and god only knows where you (or Admiral Archer's prized beagle) will end up.
Actually, we understand from that Enterprise episode "Daedalus" that transwarp beaming isn't technically all that challenging, all you're really doing is piggybacking a transporter signal on a subspace carrier wave. The trick is getting the payload to materialize at the proper destination; if you miss your target, you either wind up in a random place on the far end of the universe, or you fail to materialize at all and wind up floating in subspace until somebody can dig out your pattern and rematerialize you.

2007 Chevrolet Avalanche Recalls
The heated washer module under the hood could overheat due to excessive current draw. Under certain conditions, this could result in an under hood fire. This previous recall attempt in 2008 to repair this concern did not have the expected success. Dealers will now permanently disable and remove the heated washer module to correct this concern. This recall is expected to begin on June 20, 2010.
The wiring to the washer system heater may overheat due to a failure in the heater module. This could cause other electrical features to malfunction, smoke to develop, and an electrical fire could result. Dealers will install a wire harness with an inline fuse to protect the washer heater module. This recall is expected to begin on September 12, 2008. The General Motors recall number is 08048.

Showing off vacation highlights or making a music video with a professional touch is just a few keystrokes away with Premiere Elements 7. In Premiere Elements 7 Essential Training, Jeff Sengstack, Adobe Certified Expert in Premiere Pro, breaks down the editing workflow into bite–sized pieces, about everything from setting up a project to exporting the final video to any format. In between, Jeff covers the basics of editing as well as advanced features like picture–in–picture overlays and dazzling visual effects. Exercise files accompany the course.
Once you have added Scene Markers and Stop Markers and Beginning Markers to your timeline, you are ready to have Premiere Elements automatically create your DVD menus. I have set up a project here with two videos in it. You can follow along by opening up 13-dvd-menus. You will see that there is a little horse story here, the thing that you have seen before if you did the Markers tutorial, and then I've added a little underwater thing over here with some music on it. Two separate videos. You'll notice there are a bunch of green Scene Selection or Chapter Markers, a couple of red Stop Markers that indicate the end of the video, and tucked away right here underneath this green thing-- I'll expand it a little bit by putting the current- time indicator there. If I expand the timeline by pressing plus, you see there is a Marker indicating the main menu that's the beginning of this particular video and that will add a button to the main menu that allows you then to go to this video directly.
Let me go back and hit the Backslash key to see the whole timeline, and there it is. Now, I want to now create a DVD menu and a Scene Selection menu for this project. The way you do that is by going to Disc Menus. Open up Disc Menus, you see a bunch of templates. Opens up by default with the Entertainment templates, but I'm going to go over to something else and since we are doing something about sports, we will just click Spots. It doesn't necessarily match our horse and fishing thing, but we will just do sports and get a generic one there. So there is a nice generic movie menu background.
We will select that. So I click on that, and notice that it selects both. This is what the Main Menu template will look and this is how the Scene Selection template will look. Once I have selected it, I click Apply and now it's analyzing our timeline and it comes up with this, which is really pretty cool. It has a Main menu and two Scene Selection menus. One with four buttons for this guy, because there are one, two, three, four scenes here, and one with four buttons for this guy, one, two, three four. If I had let's say three scenes here, and three scenes here, this first one where there are four buttons, three for the first and one for the second. This one, we will have two for the remaining two.
So I set it up on purpose to be 4 and 4. So that one Scene Selection would apply to this guy, and one Scene Selection would apply to this guy. Now, if you look over here, you see it says Main Movie title, Scene Selection bonus features. Now, Premiere Elements is not so smart that it know that this is a second separate video, it just calls it Bonus Features, but we can change the words Bonus Features to Fish or Underwater or something like that. So we can do all that to customize this menu. So let's start by doing that. Instead of main movie title, I'm going to double-click here, which is what it tells me to do. I want to change it to something like lynda.com DVD Tutorial Example, look that. I guess lynda.com should be lowercase to be proper here. There it is. The large, so we are going to take the ends here and stretch that a little bit. There we go.
Now, instead of play movie, I want to double-click to edit that and say, Writing. I'm going to double-click on this and call that one Underwater. Since it's not sure what that is, it will open up a different menu, and we will keep seeing selection the way it is because it goes to this Scene Selection menu, and that's all we need to say there. Now, I'm going to click on this guy. We can say Scene Title Menu or we can say, this is the Writing Scenes. It's fine, click on this guy, double-click on this one, and we will say, Underwater Scenes.
Now notice in the menu, each scene is named with the names that are put down here in the chapter markers. So I'll double-click on the chapter marker here, I'll go back here, this chapter marker, the fourth one should say classes over, let's see. There it is. Classes over. So it took what I have put here for the marker name and put that in the Scene Selection button. Now, notice it says Arrive as black because the first frame inside Arrive is a Dissolve up from black, so it looks black. So I could maybe remove the dissolve, and that would make that actually a piece of video there. But we will leave it the way it is for now, and just continue with this.
So let me click on this guy and we can customize these menus. The button is selected. So I'm going to deselect the button, select the entire menu, and then all the little options show up for how we could customize this menu. I can change the background for example. It's a lovely background, and if I click Preview, you will see that it's an animated background with music in it that doesn't apply whatsoever to what we are doing here. So let's try to find a different background. Now, for Underwater and Horse Riding, I think of a different background, but I wanted to show you how to do it. So I want to go Browse, and I want to pick out let's say a different video for this one. So we'll do this one, we'll have this be the background for the opening main menu. It's a video, so I select that.
That's going to replace the previous menu with a video that runs in the background. Now, I want to have some audio that runs with it. I can click on Browse to audio. I've created a little audio for this called the SmartSound DVD Main Menu Music. So I'm going to select that. So now we have music that we will play with this. Let's just take a look at that. (Music playing.) You might notice that the music was exactly as long as the clip. Before I selected it, I looked at that clip, and I knew that the clip was 11 seconds long.
So I went to SmartSound and created a piece of audio that was 11 seconds long to match that. So as it loops, the music loops in coordination with the video. Now we can do the same thing with the Scene Selection menu as well. I'm going to click away from this. Click the button to select it right now. I'll click away to select the whole menu. I can put a little video in the background. I will browse to a different one. I will go to this particular video, let's say this one instead, bring that one in the background. I can run some audio behind that too. I've also created some audio for that. It will be a little different sounding, but the same theme called Scene Menu.
So now we have created audio for that one. I'll click on this Scene Selection. We get different video running in the background. I get, let's say, a fish video running behind this one, but we will just stick with the horse theme for now because it makes it easier. But I could browse to the horse theme, and I could add some music here as well. So we will just stick with the music for now because we want the music to be consistent, but we will not have any more horses behind the fish video. That would look kind of weird, right? So we have got this menu, this menu, each has their own background. Let's go preview the Main Menu and see how that works. Now, if I click on Scene Selection, it goes to the Scene Selection menu, plays that music. These are the scenes. If I click this button, it goes to the next set of scenes with the same audio, but a different background. If I click on Ray & Shark, takes me to that section. Click this button, takes me back to the main menu. Now, I'm done.
So that's basically how it works. You put the Markers on the timeline as you did before, and then Premiere Elements could automatically create menus. You can substitute backgrounds and substitute audio for it, and once you have done this, the next stage is to actually burn the DVD, which we do when we talk about sharing your projects.

text: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Ed Geary Jr. SUFFOLK COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HELPS THE MDA RAISE OVER $29,000 AT LOCK-UP EVENTSouth Boston — On August 24, members of the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department participated in a fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) at Jimmy's Harborside Restaurant. Office and business workers from around the Dorchester, South Boston, and Downtown area signed up weeks prior to the event as volunteers and helped raise money aiding in the battle over Muscular Dystrophy. Sheriff's Department Corporal Tom DeRosa, along with Public Affairs Officer, Edward Geary Jr., went in a marked Suffolk County Sheriff's Department cruiser with mock warrants to pickup the volunteers, referred to as jailbirds, and brought them back to a MDA Bailiff who made them put on a jail uniform and take a mug shot behind bars. The jailbirds then used telephones to raise their bail money by contacting their pledge supporters. After the bail amount was reached, they were released and given a ride back to their offices in a limousine. The event held at Jimmy's Harborside helped raise over $29,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Seventy—six percent of every dollar the MDA spends goes directly to research and services. Here are just some examples of what the funds raised at the Lock—Up can achieve: $25 provides an annual flu shot for one person, $63 funds one minute of research, $600 sends a child to MDA summer camp for a week, and $2,000 can go towards the purchase of a wheelchair, a set of leg braces or a communication device. The Muscular Dystrophy Association of Greater Boston sponsors the Lock—Up event quarterly at various restaurants around the City of Boston. The Suffolk County Sheriff's Department has been a strong supporter of the MDA for over six years now and enjoys helping to make the event a huge success. The Suffolk County Sheriff's Department is looking forward to continuing their tradition by helping the MDA at the next neighborhood Lock—Up. |

Oil isn't just for engines | LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor:
First of all, I am a conservationist and as such deeply concerned about the mess on the Gulf Coast. The prospect of people being denied the opportunity to work productively to support themselves and serve the rest of us with their products and services is disturbing. The loss of wildlife and habitat is grim, ugly and unnecessary.
However, those who would shut down or seriously curtail our nation's energy sources until alternates are produced, in my opinion, are seriously misguided. On the internet
I looked up "Products Made from Oil." Ten of the 128 products listed are: heart valves, telephones, antiseptics, safety glass, antihistamines, tires, water pipes, food preservatives, anesthetics and cameras. I fail to see how wind power, solar power or even nuclear power can replace oil. It isn't just used for running our motorized vehicles. It is a basic element for most of our economy.
We could go back to having hemp for rope and boar bristles for our wooden toothbrushes. We could use catgut for guitar strings. We could go back to cash only instead of credit cards, but I don't think we would want to.
We also don't need to drill offshore in mile-deep water. We have oil fields right here on land in the Dakotas, Alaska, etc. where if there is an accident such as in the Gulf, the well can be capped with minimal damage to the surrounding area.
Yes, the mess in the Gulf is horrific, but we can't throw out the baby with the bath water. We have built our economy on oil, and until we can come up with something better to replace it, we're stuck with it.

Dragonball Z The most popular cartoon series gets a lot of attention from Flash artists!
Author Comments
OK, I just wanted to say I KNOW THERE IS NO VOICES!!! JESUS! WILL YOU STOP MENTIONING IT! FFS. That is all.
Wow. Got onto the DBZ Collections! A big THANKYOU to Tom and Wade!
Anyway, work is well underway for my next tribute, watch out for it! ;)
If you liked this animation, please give me a review, I try and reply to them all, so give me a review to let me know what you think, thanks.
Well this is my first submission to newgrounds and my first true animation now don't switch off and blam, cos this is my first animation, this isn't like the crappy first animations most submit! This is fully drawn, and well animated!
I started this in around October and throughout this animation you can see my drawing skills improving.
If you're a DBZ fan you'll LOVE this, if you're a neutral and decide to vote on how well done this is you'll find this to be good, if you hate DBZ and blam anything with DBZ in it then please, leave now.
This was a college project and we were originally supposed to do a storyboard of 4-5 (original or based on a tv show or movie of you choice, I chose a DBZ tribute) scenes and put into Flash and add some sound, smooth animation and tweens, well I done over 50 scenes with many sounds and music and I got a merit (which means I showed initiative and went beyond the set goals that had to be met) pass for this, it really is that good.
This is when Goku turns SSJ for the first time on Planet Namek, this is from the time Krillin gets blown up until the time Goku goes SSJ and Frieza is wondering: WTF?!
The music is from the Japanese and English versions of Dragonball Z. It features the original Jap theme song "Cha-la Head Cha-la" (used as main theme for this animation) by Kageyama Hironobu as well as the SSJ fight theme from the Jap DBZ. The other music is "SSJ Transformation" and "Rock the Dragon" by Bruce Falcouner. There are sound effects for lightning, rocks cracking and wave sounds and I can't remember where I found those, but credit to the creators of them.
OK some specifications for best performance:
If your PC is under 1000MHz or you are running many programs turn down the quality so the music is synched right.
If you computer is 1000MHz or higher then it should run perfectly.
Special Thanks go to John Butler, my 2D animation lecturer for helping me with the preloader and teaching me flash and also Akira Toriyama for creating DBZ!
For info on any upcoming projects and storyboards for this visit http://groups.msn.com/DBZ Flashmovies
Now, on with the show! ENJOY!
Rated 0 / 5 stars
same shit as the show.
nothing new
Hey Moron.
It's quite clear you don't like DBZ, so why did you watch?
It was also quite clear that this was a TRIBUTE to the show and was also clear that it was a remake. Did you expect anything else? Idiot.
Anyway, regardless of this, if you reviewed on the QUALITY of the flash, you would NOT give a 0, especially if you gave graphics and sound a 10. This is quite retarded.
What is even further retarded is your review. You typed 2 words, it gave no reason as to why it deserved a 0 or why you didn't like it. A review that actually used some INTELLECT would've gave reasons.
"nothing new"? Well, I've already explained why, and you should've realised that anyway BEFORE watching anyway.
Therefore it is quite clear that you, sir, are a fuckwit.
Now, begone, fool!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
very nice
man this is pretty cool i love hoe you did the transformation good job
Thankyou for your review!
Watch out for Vegeta SSJ!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
WOW this is good!!!!
man this is great i mean perfect to the cartoon in everyway even the lines were exact but too bad no voices i know it would sound gay anyway but i think that was cool art man especially freehand coo if possible can you tell me where to get the program to do this i been wanting to try but cant find it thax good luck with the rest
At least you understand my reason for not putting in voices! ^_^
The program is Macromedia Flash. It's a program you have to buy for like £100+ if you find it cheap. Try amazon.com or ebay.com to look for some deals on Flash.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Ok, lets review..........
1st and foremost, good flash. Nothing of any real negativity to comment on BUT just a couple small suggestions:
1. For your next piece try and incorporate sound into your movie (with Vegeta, right?)
2.Fluidise the animation a little more, just to take away the occasional jump that occurred in the Goku movie.
3. For freehand animation it's real good but I must say the arms were (slightly) out of proportion....no biggie, jus a little constructive critisism.
Oh, and if you feel pissed off that I had the gall to suggest you aint the worlds foremost flash animator, don't go commenting that I haven't submitted any pieces myself. I don't do the artistic creation thing, moreso the observation thing. Good luck with the next movie, hopefully I'll be able to throw down a perfect score next time round.
Hey man, no problem! Your review is good. I wouldn't get pissed at a review that gives reasons why it didn't get a higher score. You give constructive critisism, that's good. I only get pissed off at the retarded reviews that just say I suck, but reviews like this are perfectly fine! :D
Did you mean sound as in voices? I've explained before my reason for not having them due to synching issues and tackyness (in my opinion, although it's brilliant if done correctly), as I am not the world's best flash animator. ;)
Be rest assured that the animation in my next movie will be much better and have better drawings too. :)
Thanks for the good review!
