Hi All,
I've a LG GT540 Android 2.1 and am using LG PC Suite to sync with Outlook Contacts.
In Outlook my (over 2,000) contacts are set to File As 'Last Name, First Name' which after all is the Western norm.
Every time I connect my phone and sync with it, it changes all my Outlook contacts to be File As 'First Name, Last Name'! even though PC Cuite is set to sync the PC to the Phone.
Does anyone know how I can stop this happening and keep my prefered File As settings before this heap of s**T goes out a window?

To fit or not to fit: insights in the search for a job
The objective of this study is to gain insight in which organisation-specific information job seekers attach importance to, in order to determine whether they fit in an organisation. Our labour market is facing difficulties with inflow of labour forces. On the one hand our tight labour market situation causes that companies are unable to fill in their vacancies. On the other hand a high percentage of unemployed job seekers do not manage to find a job. In his selection-attraction-attrition theory Schneider (1995) states that people do not randomly come and work in an organisation, but that they select themselves in or out of an organisation. A good person-organisation fit can be considered as one of the critical success factors for attracting and retaining employees in a competitive and tight labour market (Kristof, 1997). Building on the above mentioned theories we propose that if organisations clearly communicate about their organisation-specific characteristics in beforehand, job seekers can form a better image of organisations. For organisations this can result in more effective selection processes, whereas for job seekers it can result in more effective application processes. Research until now has not covered this issue. To gain insight into the organisation-specific aspects job seekers attach importance to, a qualitative research was conducted consisting of 27 homogeneously composed focus groups. In a first stage unemployed job seekers were addressed, with special attention for those individuals who are unable or less able to search for a job independently. Next also employees and employment officers were involved in this research. Applying the Delphi-method and other discussion group moderating techniques, we found that clear communication of organisation-specific information plays an important role in the job search process of individuals. Based on the qualitative input throughout the different focus groups, we developed a typology of organisation-specific information items job seekers attach importance to in their search for a job.

Please confirm that you want to add Differentiate or Die to your Wishlist.
Get your team access to Udemy's top 2,000 courses anytime, anywhere.Try Udemy for Business
In this course, we go over the 4 requirements of differentiation:
That means more recognition, more authority, and more business.
The key to selling is the customer's perception of your ability to differentiate yourself from your competition.
Differentiation is not something you can fake. You either have it or you don't.
If your capabilities are perceived as valuable, YOU will be perceived as different, better, useful, and investment worthy.
What's your area of capability? Find it. Evolve it. Perfect it. Share it.
Your capability is how you will generate perceived value and differentiating firepower.
If you're human, you're creative. You just may not have brought it out of you yet.
Creativity is about applying your intelligence, imagination, and intuition to form new ideas from existing ones.
By applying your natural creativity to help customers, you are becoming differentiated.
Another word for courage is 'risk.' No risk, no nothing.
Being held back by fear is why most people look and act the same.
Conventional thinking is for conventional thinkers & conventional people. Think unconventional thoughts & act on your thoughts.
Your attitude is 100% up to you. It shouldn't be affected by the weather, the people that surround you, by your customers, or even your family. It's 100% up to you.
Your ability to laugh at yourself, at the world, and with your customers, is a top strategy for creating a differentiating lead over competitors.
If you think you can, or if you think you can't, your customers will agree with you.
To be different, you must first make a difference.

Tonight is the second of the presidential candidate debates, this one in a "town hall" format, with undecided voters posing the questions. We now see that the debates do matter, as Mitt Romney's good performance and Barack Obama's bad performance put the Republican back into contention. Do you think this town hall format will be to Obama's advantage, since Romney is often awkward among the masses? Obama said he was "too polite" in the first round, so do you think his being impolite will play well this time?
You will notice that when we live-blogged the debates–not just me, but also you readers and commenters–we picked up on the same themes that the pundits later made a big deal of. I think we owe it to the country to do it again.
This time I'll let you come up with the catch-phrases for our not-necessarily-alcoholic drinking game. What lines from each candidate can we expect to hear over and over?
Be back here at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time (that's 8:00 p.m. Central, 7:00 p.m. Mountain, and 6:00 p.m. Pacific) to help with the live-blogging.

As the Internal Revenue Service officially opens e-file today, giving the green light to U.S. taxpayers to begin filing their tax returns, TurboTax® confirmed it is up to date with current tax laws so Americans can file with confidence and be sure they're getting every tax deduction and credit they deserve. "Taxpayers know they can accurately and easily prepare their returns with TurboTax and get their maximum and fastest refund possible," said Bob Meighan, lead CPA with the American Tax & Financial Center at TurboTax. "TurboTax knows the tax law inside and out, so you don't have to. Our tax pros are here for you every step of the way and at TurboTax, if you have a question, you get expert answers from only qualified and credentialed tax professionals." Taxpayers can call TurboTax and an experienced tax expert will answer their questions. Only TurboTax lets people talk to CPAs, IRS enrolled agents and tax attorneys while they prepare their return, free. TurboTax is the nation's best selling, No. 1-rated tax software from Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU). More Americans trusted their federal returns to TurboTax last year than to H&R Block stores and all other major tax stores combined. IRS Now Accepting E-filed Returns The IRS begins accepting the majority of e-filed tax returns today, good news for taxpayers who have been waiting to file their return and claim their refund. Last year, 80 percent of taxpayers got a federal tax refund that averaged $2,700, according to IRS. The IRS has recently announced that it will not begin processing tax returns claiming the American Opportunity Credit and Lifetime Learning Credit on Form 8863 until mid-February. This delay applies to all tax preparation methods. Taxpayers claiming these credits can prepare their tax return now with TurboTax and be confident they're getting the full amount they're entitled to. TurboTax will submit these returns as soon as the IRS begins accepting them. The IRS expects to issue more than 9 out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days upon acceptance. The fastest way for taxpayers to get their refund is with e-file and direct deposit.

|The Classes I Teach Fairly Regularly
|City Growth / City Design
|Applied GIS and Social
|Topics in Transportation:
Bicycle Planning
|Mobile GIS
|(click title for syllabus)
|PPPM4/536: Applied GIS and Social Planning (Fall)
This course is designed to augment students' existing Geographic Information System (GIS) skills and to apply those skills to real-world projects. Learning GIS usually does not really happen until one is faced with data constraints, data error, and the expectation of saying something meaningful and useful given limited resources. This course will provide such an environment.
The class will be divided into a lecture and a lab component. The first few weeks of lab time will be crazy. Our community mapping day will be in mid October and everyone needs to be up to speed on ArcPad mobile GIS technology by that date. We will also be reviewing some key GIS skills that you need to have, and we'll be learning some more advanced GIS extensions – Network Analyst, Spatial Analyst, and 3D Analyst. Lab times in the middle of the term will be partly dedicated to the community project and the advanced GIS skills. Labs at the end of the term will be for your own individual project.
Our lecture time will follow a seminar format where we will discuss issues of relevance to the use of GIS and social planning, such as empowerment, citizen participation, and equity.
|PPPM4/538: Topics in Transportation: Bicycle Planning (Spring) )
This class is intended to answer the seemingly simple question: "Why don't more people get out of their cars and bike?" The purpose of this course is to give students the opportunity to explore the various elements involved in planning and advocating for increased utilization of bicycles as a form of urban transportation. The focus will be on three main areas: 1) Policy and planning; 2) design, safety, and legal issues; and 3) social change. The class will consist of a combination of teaching and learning approaches, including the use of lectures, guest lectures by practitioners, in-class exercises, and out-of-class hands-on assignments.
PPPM4/507: City Growth / City Design (Winter - will not be offered in 2010)
This course seeks to understand the broad range of issues that have molded and continue to mold cities and suburbs. The scope will be wide and will include everything from policy, planning, and transportation issues down to specific urban design and architectural approaches/strategies.
Through lectures, discussions, case studies, and group projects, you will be asked to tease apart and 'read' current development patterns in an effort to understand what must be done/dealt with in order to create change.
This course is co-taught with Professor Nico Larco in Architecture.
|PPPM4/507: Mobile GIS (Winter)
This class will explore the use of GIS on Personal Digitial Assistants (PDA) for use in bottom-up community planning and field data collection. Students will be given a PDA for use in the course and will learn how to use GIS in the PDAs as well as design sophisiticated data entry interfaces.

Natural HistoryOn August 21, Patrick Dougherty finished his stickwork at BBG. Taking just over 2 weeks to complete, the piece is an incredible installation that beckons to be explored by children and adults alike. On the final day of construction, Dougherty and his assistant Andy Lynch debated what the official title should be. Many ideas had been discussed in the days leading up to its completion, but in the end it was an overheard conversation between a young visitor and his mother that gave rise to the title Natural History.
BBG is honored to exhibit Natural History in the Plant Family Collection meadow and encourages visitors to wander within its inspired woven-wood walls. The sculpture will remain on the grounds for one year, changing over time with the seasons and weather.

On Your Side: Slipping on ice
Published Thursday, February 2, 2012 2:56PM EST
Last Updated Thursday, June 7, 2012 2:28PM EDT
MONTREAL- Last February Karen Birkett took her dog for a walk and wound up almost unconscious, like all Montrealers at least once a winter she slipped on the ice.
Birkett didn't blame the ice, she blamed the Lachine borough.
"I fell, I went backwards and smacked my head right on the pavement and I fell very very hard," said Birkett.
The 10th Avenue resident was brought to a clinic, several stitches and bruises later she was released.
"There were people there with sprained and broken ankles," said Birkett. "There were lots of falls that particular day."
Maurice Chubry, Birkett's neighbour across the avenue, agreed.
"They're not giving enough service. Look at it. They should be out here!" said Chubry.
Both have lived on 10th Avenue for many years and say they've never seen sidewalks this bad.
"You can't walk down the street even to mail a letter," said Birkett. "I really think it has to do with budget, they're trying to save on manpower hours."
According to the Lachine borough, ice-control efforts were actually increased this winter, with nearly $19 million spent on public works.
"This is my second winter season here and we actually increased our output," said Martin Savard, the head of Lachine's public works. "This is a fairly unique season."
While Savard admitted that complaints were up, he blamed the slippery sidewalks on this winter season's vicious thaw-freeze cycle.
"It's really hard to walk on these sidewalks but overall it's OK. It's just today it's like a really complicated weather," said Cesar Herrera, a mail carrier for Canada Post.
Herrera admitted that some areas, like 10th Avenue, did seem to get less attention than they should.
In December, La Presse reported that the City of Montreal had to pay citizens $2.2 million for injurious falls over the past two years.

Associate Professor Richard Hillman & Dr Jeff Jin
Gay men are over 20 times more likely than others to develop anal cancer. The study will target men in Sydney who are 35 years of age or older, have had sex with other men, and have not been diagnosed with anal cancer.
The study aims to recruit a total of 1,000 men from community-based settings, 750 HIV negative and 250 HIV positive. Once enrolled, these men will be followed for 3 years. They will undergo scheduled study visits twice a year. The study will use PCR testing to determine type specific HPV infection in the anal canal and use anal cytology and histology analyses to detect precancerous anal lesions. This study will provide important data to guide the possible future introduction of anal cancer screening programs for gay men.
The study is funded by the National Medical and Health Research Council of Australia to run from 2010 to 2014. It is being conducted by Professor Andrew Grulich from the Kirby Institute, University of New South Wales, A/Prof Richard Hillman from IBAC and the Sexually Transmitted Infections Research Centre, University of Sydney, and Professor Andrew Carr from Immunology B Ambulatory Care (IBAC), St Vincent's Hospital.

Only the Beginning at Penn
Welcome to a bright New Year at Penn! I hope everyone enjoyed a restful winter break after a fall semester marked by achievements both great and small. I commend each of you for continuing to distinguish our University through your efforts. In 2013, we are poised to make this Penn's best year yet.
We kick off this new semester with a milestone anniversary to celebrate. Penn's Making History Campaign came to a formal close on December 31, a little over five years since we first announced our ambitious $3.5 billion goal. With the unflagging support of Penn's incredible alumni, parents, and friends, we have done much more than make history. We have dared to imagine all that is possible for Penn's future. All-grant, no-loan undergraduate financial aid; record-shattering alumni engagement; innovative interdisciplinary programs and scholars, including more than 130 newly endowed professorships; stunning sustainable parks and the finest teaching, research, and recreational facilities, and more. We will set aside time this spring to celebrate these and all of Penn's many other campaign achievements.
But this is not our finish line. We will build on our unprecedented momentum and launch Penn to even greater heights. "The riders in a race do not stop short when they reach a goal," Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes observed. "The work never is done while the power to work remains."
Penn's power to accomplish great things is only gaining strength.
You can see that power at work in the story of six-year old Emma Whitehead—the only child of Kari and Tom Whitehead—who had advanced leukemia since she was five. As Emma's parents watched her grow weaker, hope for their daughter faded. Then Dr. Carl June and his team at Penn's Abramson Cancer Research Institute offered Emma a new treatment for chronic leukemia. Their reengineered T-cell therapy (which costs far less than a bone marrow transplant) has beaten Emma's cancer into remission. Now she is back at school, laughing and learning and playing with her friends. She is wonderfully alive.
In classrooms and laboratories across campus, we will pave the way for more stories like Emma's. We will continue to pursue our core priorities with passion and vigor. We will expand access to a Penn education. We will support faculty and bring the finest minds together across academic disciplines. We will strengthen our engagement at home and abroad. We will find solutions to our society's most pressing questions and needs.
We also will explore exciting newer priorities, such as fostering better, faster methods for transforming Penn research into life-saving and game-changing applications. The therapies developed by Dr. June's team may soon become the definitive turning point in the fight against cancer, thanks to an exciting new partnership between Penn and Novartis. Together, we will build a first-of-its-kind Center for Advanced Cellular Therapies, devoted to maximizing the reach of Penn's intellectual resources. There are similar opportunities in various disciplines all across Penn's campus.
Another priority is the second phase of our award-winning campus development plan, Penn Connects. In the coming months, we will break ground for the Neural Behavioral Sciences Building, a vital new hub for life sciences at Penn. We will celebrate the opening of a beautiful green space in Spruce Street Plaza, as well as our newly renovated world-class Rare Book and Manuscript Library in Van Pelt. And we will complete the Krishna P. Singh Center for Nanotechnology, the spectacular new headquarters for cutting-edge innovation in this critical interdisciplinary field. All around campus, you will see our continued progress on renovations and beautification, outward signs of exciting developments going on throughout our University.
On the eve of the French Revolution, near a Scottish town named Dumfries, a poet set pen to paper and wrote a song. The poet, Robert Burns, didn't write just any song. "Auld Lang Syne" would become famous the world over as the song synonymous with New Year's, with toasting to dear friends and fond memories as the clock strikes midnight. It's a lovely sentiment, but with the continued efforts and exceptional talents of the Penn community, I know it isn't just fond memories I toast—it's Penn's magnificent future. This is just the beginning. Thank you once again for all you do on behalf of Penn. Have a great semester.
—Amy Gutmann

Hello everyone! Hope you're well :)
I'm gonna have to really seize the day again today. So much studying to do, and time is running out. It's a countdown and the pace is making me slow...
Also, I have to run by the optician today to get new contact lenses, and get my eyes checked as well (I have a feeling they got worse...). Then in the afternoon, I've got horse riding practice.
Guess it's obvious that the least-fun part of my day will be the biggest one - the studying part. If anyone has any words of motivation up their sleeves, do tell ;)

Top H&M, Neon lace bra Gina Tricot, Tie-Dye Jeans DIY, Denim shirt H&M, Shoes Converse, Tote bag H&M
And we went back to the park again! A very casual outfit again, for a day at uni. I wish I could've worn shorts to this one, but it wasn't really that warm.
Anyways, today's my day off uni, so I'm all in studying mode. Hope you guys have more pleasant things planned ;)

Blogger Inspo: Shewearsfashion
Another one of my favourite blogs! This time it's a lady from the UK (yay!). I discovered Kavita's blog quite a while ago, and it's been fun to see it grow ever since. I'm in love with her style, so girly with loads of dresses and skirts, but very chic and fashionable. This blogger darling is also the queen of vintage, carboot shopping and bargaining. The pieces in her wardrobe are all amazingly pretty (in fact I just ordered that union jack jumper! oops..).
It's one of the view blogs I actually take the time to read, not only look at the pictures. Definitely worth stopping by!

Mermaid Nails
Essie 'Turquoise & Caicos' + some random silver glitter nailpolish
I wear nailpolish nearly every day, and have been for years. Most of the time, I change the polish at least once per week.
This time I was trying to copy a look I came across via Pinterest (see here) which looked like a little sprinkled egg. My nails turned out to look mermaid-ish, but since I'm quite the water person I really like it! What do you think?

Top H&M, Boyfriend Jeans Levi's, Blazer H&M, Loafers Primark, Bag Etam
We shot these photos at a park near campus, and I think it's easily becoming my new favourite spot in town! It's an official botanic garden kind of place, so it gets really well taken care of. Really pretty! Will definitely go there again soon (and shoot maybe).

wearing H&M Trend floral pants, DIY jumper, Fossil watch & Swarovski bracelet
Details of an outfit I wore earlier this week.
I'm in uni right now for an early lecture. Got one more later and then some work at the office. Then tonight I will need to study and also go for a run! Talk about seizing the day... Are you guys busy, too?
June 20, 2012
Trousers Cubus / Blouse Primark / Shoes Cox
I was opting for an all pastel look with this one. I actually added a pastel-pink lipstick to it, but it doesn't really show in the photos.
I had almost forgotten about this blouse (god, it feels really bad to say this!), but turns out I really like it! I think I should wear blouses more often, I own quite a bunch of them now and I don't think any of them has gotten to their full "cost per wear" yet.

New in/Sandals
Latest addition to my wardrobe: sandals from S.Oliver.
Now my wardrobe is basically perfectly ready for summer - so, sun, where are you?
Diary 13/2012
been really into lipstick lately / worked out almost every day / sunset view out of my bedroom window / lecture in the morning / shopping for shoes / eating yummy strawberries / bought my new blush / made bicolour cheesecake / more lipstick / also into feather earrings / outfit from my perspective / my hair looked so nice though I hadn't styled it at all

I recently bought the 'Melba' blush by MAC. I didn't know much about it, just that there was a huge hype about it and I needed a good coral-ish blush. So far, it's living up to the hype! Really well pigmented, and I guess it goes with pretty much every skintone.
I had intended to show you last night's outfit today, but we didn't manage to snap any photos. Need to shoot more now! I'll probably drag my man out of the house tomorrow for at least one little outfit shoot session. I always make it my goal to make the 'outfit recap' posts at the end of the month bigger and bigger. Speaking of goals, I have to run now! Just came back from a workout, will hop in the shower and then watch the game with my dad and the boy. Will you be watching, too?

Blazer H&M / Shirt Gina Tricot / Jeans Levi's / Bag, Shoes Zara
Here's the full outfit from yesterday!
This crappy weather really leaves me quite uninspired outfit-wise. I have never owned so many shorts before, yet I can't wear them (I'm really over tights at the moment). Let's hope summer will be back soon.
In the meantime: studying. Taking a break tonight though, to celebrate my girl D. who turned 21 yesterday. So, I'm off now, the pure fun of economics awaits me (...) and I have a cheesecake to make! Talk to you later.
June 15, 2012
Sneak peek
Today's details. Full outfit to come tomorrow!
Picked up those cutesy shoes at Zara yesterday. My heels hurt like hell, I hate it when flats are so darn hard in the back (see how I tucked in my pants?). But, what the hell! Waited for what seemed like forever till the shop assistant finally got me the shoes in my size, so they're mine now and I love 'em!

Inspiration/Closet Organization
sources: passions for fashion, angelica blick, shopping is my cardio, purse n boots, elin kling, apartmenttherapy, cottds
I don't know about you, but I find it very difficult to find a 'permanent solution' for my closet. It's safe to say I have the biggest closet and own the most clothes out of all of my girlfriends (duh!), yet still I'm a loser when it comes to organizing all the stuff.
Unfortunately, I don't have the possibility to create my own walk-in closet, and my closet is an open one (I'd rather not share any photos!). The closet does feature a rack, but it's so full I can barely see all the pieces. It happens more and more often that I dig into my closet like a pig on the hunt for truffels and stumble upon pieces I had completely forgotten about. That might me due to my shopping behaviour - but it might also be because of the way I organize my clothes. So I took the time to look for inspiration around the net. If you have any tips, photos or favourite websites - feel free to share!
I'll certainly post about it if I ever find a solution to my little wardrobe crisis...

neon necklace, mint collar H&M / crystal necklace, earrings and set Swarovski / chunky earrings and necklace H&M / evil eye necklace Mango / sunnies H&M
As I told you I recently stocked up on vibrant accessoires. I have a feeling you're gonna see these a lot around here! You've seen the neon necklace here, the chunky earrings here and the collar here before.
How do you like my new stuff?

O2 Amplifier Kit & PCB Groupbuy, Worldwide
Since the first GB is in the last stages and there is not much work left with it, the second installement can begin.
I know the following text is long and I am sorry for this. Please read every paragraph.
That answers most questions and provides a clear guideline for you to place an order.
The last GB was offered as a service to this community in the same spirit as RocketScientist invented it.
This time around, I need to be able to justify the significant time put into this.
The prices have therefore been increased a little to reflect the time and effort from my side.
THE O2 COMPONENT KITS: 25€ per kit
The O2's creator, RocketScientist, provides the BOM via his Blog NwAvGuy.
I have used his latest BOM with no modifications.
His BOM does list alternatives. These will be used if, and only if, the first choice parts are unavailble.
All resistors listed under "Gain Resistors" are included for ease of handling and your convenience.
This also means there are NO 9V batteries included, as these are prohibitet from standard AirMail.
The kit also includes NO transformers, NO enclosures, NO printed circuit boards, NO low-power Op Amps, NO "Desktop O2"-parts and NO solder/wick.
Except for the batteries, the other parts are available to you through this GB.
It is NOT possible to order a kit and replace the pots or with only a certain type of gain resistor.
This would increase the workload for me by a significant amount and only save you pennies.
Additional parts are available as "extras" via the section labeled "extras" below.
You can therefore order a component kit and then buy a different pot as an "extra".
THE TRANSFORMER: 25€ per transformer
A custom transformer is made for this GB from a company in Europe.
This ensures a high quality transformer according to european laws and regulations, no questionable chinese copy.
(I don't claim all chinese parts are bad, but I can't very well reach or control a chinese manufacturer.)
Since this transformer can only be ordered in larger batches, we need at least 30 orders on these.
It is a 230V transformer and not suitable for countries with deviating power grid voltages.
A picture of it can be found in my signature.
THE ENCLOSURE: B2=20€ / B3=22€ per enclosure
The O2's PCB has dimensions of 80x100mm's, so all enclosures for this size of board will fit.
As in the last GB, I provide a possibility to purchase one type of extruded aluminium enclosure.
It is available in different colors (black/silver/red/blue/green).
The standard height (B2) is sufficient for the standard set of components.
However, it is also available in a taller version (B3).
Pictures can be found in the gallery in my signature to help you choose a size and color.
THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD: 8€ per PCB
A high-quality PCB is also available for your convenience.
I will order them in larger batches directly from a known and reliable source.
They are the same guys that manufactured the PCB's for Ollie's O2 PCB group buy that many people used.
The PCB will feature black soldermask, white silkscreen (the writing on the PCB), electroless gold plated contacts and FULL e-testing.
This ensures only first class boards are produced and shipped to you.
You can see a picture of an identical circuit board in the gallery in my signature.
THE SHIPPING: As listed below
By default, I will ship all orders with the Deutsche Post / DHL.
Included in the shipping costs below are the packaging (padded envelope) and ESD bags for all kits.
up to 500g : 5€
up to 1kg: 8€
up to 2kg: 10€
up to 500g: 5€
up to 1kg: 10€
up to 2kg: 18€
Shipments above 2kg are not available, they have to be split and will incurr multible shipping charges.
(It is possible via Deutsche Post / DHL / FedEx / UPS, but more expensive than multiple shipments.)
At your discretion, shipping with FedEx and UPS is possible.
Be advised that FedEx/UPS are only shipped once a week and may add significant cost to your order.
THE EXTRAS: cost as listed by Mouser/Farnell
I will order all the parts from Mouser and Farnell (except custom transformers and custom PCBs).
For your convenience, you will be able to order any parts from these two companies through me.
However, I will not process an order for extras if it contains 90% of a component kit.
This has happened before (where I did not forbid it, so no blame) and I spent 40 minutes on one order.
Also, no volume discounts will be given for extra parts, even if multiple people order the same components.
This is meant as a service to you, please do not exploit it with large orders that would be better placed with Mouser/Farnell directly.
Please provide any extras in the following format:
(Quantity)x (space) part number from dealer (space) (Mouser)or(Farnell).
1x 568-NYS367-2 (Mouser)
3x 577-1810-5F (Mouser)
Popular extras from Mouser are solder and wick. Here are their part numbers:
Solder: 590-4890-18G
Wick: 577-1810-5F
Is possible via PayPal ONLY to ensure I am notified of any incoming funds immediately.
Screening my bank account for incoming payments and linking them to orders is too time-consuming.
I have done a market analysis, but unfortunately there are no fully working crystal balls available.
Therefore, to be able to link payments to orders, I need your real&forum names in the PayPal payments.
Also, please send an eMail to the PayPal address that includes both your forum name and your address.
It is very important you provide the address in the format you wish me to write on the envelope.
If your country writes the city before the ZIP-code, write the city before the ZIP-code in your eMail.
I will photograph all outgoing shipments with timestamps and geotags to be able to prove shipping.
But if the mail company in your country can't compute your address because it was provided to me in the wrong format; then I will not be able to issue a refund or a second shipment without charge.
Again, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
(In case you wonder about all the capital letters, 40% of the people in the last GB failed to do this, causing me several hours of, completely unnecessary, work. So please excuse me for being extra clear on this.)
I can be contacted via PM and email (see PDF in my signature).
However, I want to ask you to place your orders only in this thread.
That makes it easy for me to find them and others can follow what happens.
I will then put your forum name in the PDF, where it will automatically display the amunt you owe.
THEN, and only then, you can send the money via PayPal. Please wait to be included in the PDF.
Sending money before placing a confirmed order does not speed up the process, it slows it down. A LOT.
If there are any questions, please feel free to ask them in this thread.
And thank you for reading throug all of this. I know it is a pain.
But this is the only way to keep the amount of work to an acceptable level for me.
Otherwise I would not be able to offer you a way to purchase the parts you desire.
And now, there is only one thing left to say:
Gentlemen, start your engines!
I would like to order
2 kits
1 transformer
1 enclosure
Hah, perfect...
The first person that reads my entire post and orders accordingly and I immediately find a mistake in my post:
If you actually care about the color of your enclosure, please don't forget to list the color.
All other enclosures will automatically be black (the most popular color from the first GB).
P.S.: The new order PDF will be up and running later today.
First I need to thank you for your hard work on make the group buy. I really appreciate your efforts on this amazing project! I waited this second GB to start and now you make me very happy! Thanks!
Now my order:
1x kit
1x transformer
1x enclosure B2 (blue)
1x 590-4890-18G (Mouser)
(shipping to italy)
P.S. NwAvGuy have recentely changed R25 & R9 (see NwAvGuy: O2 Details )
the standard kit will have this change or not?
Dear Jokener!
Thank you very much for all your efforts with the first GB!
For this GB, please:
1x PCB
Shipment to: EU (Lithuania)
Thanks Jokener for the efford.
I would like to order;
1x Kit
1x Pcb please
The kits will always feature the most up to date BOM at the time I place the order.
I have asked him and there will be no PCB-change in the immediate future.
-> PCBs are the only thing I buy in larger volumes up front, but all component kits will fit perfectly.
(This reduces the cost and has no disadvantages. After all, PCBs have no expiry date.)
And as a big surprise, I have ordered some red/blue/white/yellow PCBs as well.
If they turn out gorgeous, they will be available for a small price premium.
(Order quantity on those is much smaller, so the prices for manufacturing are much higher.)
And I just ordered 1000€ worth of PCB's.
So, if anybody needs boards: I got spares :-)
They are set to arrive within 20 working days from today.
(12 instead of 20 days would have increased costs by 50%... just not worth it.)
The hippie-boards (Red, Blue, Yellow, White) will be available for 20€ a piece via the extras.
If demand for these is high enough to justify another production run, costs will be lower.
But for now, anybody with acrylic cases or a sense for exclusivity: Get 'me while they're hot.
And because I was asked a good question: No, you do not HAVE to order a kit.
It is entirely possible to order just a transformer, just a case or any combination.
The only exception being the extras: If you want any of those, I'd ask you to order them with at least one of the other items as I don't earn anything on extras or shipping.
Best regards,
I order following:
1x kit
1x pcb
Hello jokener..
how is your delivery time to denmark?
And if i order a kit consisting of
1 x black b2 enclosure 20
1 x Pcb kit 8
1 x Component kit 25
1 x Delivery ?

In some cases price does relate to quality. Then there are my Magnepan 1.6s, which sound easily better than most speakers at twice the price. Also, my Brystom 7BST amps that carry a Class A rating at less than half the price of any of the other amps in that category. Or then there's my Paradigm Servo-15 sub . . . Hmmm, maybe price doesn't mean all that much after all.
Do you equate price with quality in audio equipment?
Audio equipment prices range from dirt cheap to off-the-chart. How does price affect your perception of products?
People sometimes think that money buys qualityand people selling quality-oriented products sometimes up the price to get more interest from buyers. Personally, I stay away from their silly ploys and go for the quality products from honest companies.
If the manufacturer is reputable, and most are in the higher price ranges, you can see as well as hear what the extra dollars buy. There can also be great value in any price range by taking less, and receiving more. As in features and performance.
The best sounding gear normally involves good components, and this has a cost. However, some manufacturers spend several times the component-cost to build an appealing case, so the final product ends up costing three to ten times the "right price". So, I always trust my ears, nothing else !
Sometimes, because the equipment I am interested in purchasing provides the most realistic presentation of the music I want to hear within my personal price constraints. As long as the listening experience approaches the excitement of a live experience, it really doesn't matter how much you pay.
In most cases, prices do affect sound quality in high end audio. Sure there are a number of outrageously priced items that don't sound as good or even sound worse than some lower priced gear. Yet, in order to obtain a higher level of fidelity, one has to spend large amounts of cash. The terms "bang for your bucks" or "land of diminishing returns" have come to mean a great deal to me because of the higher priced audio gear that I wish I could afford. My perception of price and the reality of what I can actually afford have not come together as of yet. But hey, I'm still trying to get there.
For me, the ratio of "purchase price" to ability accurately reporduce the sound of music equals value ($ : fidelity = value). A company that produces accurate audio equipment at a modest price as provides a good value.
I rarely listen to inexpensive equipment. I usually have in mind the equipment I would like to review when I enter a store. To review several amps requires trip to a store per item. My time is limited.
Generally, you get what you pay for. And the best audio gear is undeniably expensive, with some of the best speakers costing more than I paid for my house. But there is no inherent relationship between price and quality, and very large increases in cost often lead to very marginal improvements in sound. An audiophile who is willing to shop with care can get fabulous sound for an affordable price.
In one way or another, price always impacts how I look at a product. Sometimes I wonder how a manufacturer can charge so much for so little; sometimes I am amazed at how great a component can sound for so little money. However, cost does not automatically mean better. It's the sound, stupid!
A product can be of high quality regardless of price. I don't necessarily think inexpensive equipment and expensive equipment are aimed at the same consumer and there are high- and low-quality offerings at both levels.
Price/performance can be so very subjective in itself. I'm one of the many happy Zen Triode owners who thinks he got a bargain paying $500 for 1.8 watts! Then again, that's $277/watt! What if it was 25 watts/channel? That would be $6,945!!
I have to admit I was a little dissappointed when listening to a $100,000+ system. I was also floored by a more "modest" $30,000 system. Of course, my best guage is when a system can get me dance. My current $6K system does just that!
It shouldn't be " sometimes" but when i see some expensive products i imagine that their sound is gorgeous.But too often an elevate price means only a better build quality or a thicker faceplate.
I personally can't see the value for my dollar at the cost of some higher end Hi-Fi equipment. My guage is if I can go on a month long holiday overseas, then I can't justify a piece of audio equuipment.
Within limits, no. I have a limited budget, and I am looking for something that delivers the goods sonically. Many approaches (especially in the digital domain), need not be hideously expensive to implement. The Sharp SACD player and 50W digital amplifier are a indicative of a welcome trend, in that a superior technical approach will probably lead to less expensive and extraordinarily good products further down the line. May that trend flourish!

This varies based on the education program for which you establish eligibility. Each education chapter is unique, and the entitlement-time period to use the benefit is established by law. There are fact sheets for each education chapter at the gibill website.
All outside bins are normally emptied once a week on Fridays.
We believe that writers and writing ability evolve slowly, unevenly, and awkwardly. We also believe that writers and writing can always improve. Writing is not a skill that someone either has or doesn't have, not something that someone either can or can't do. It is a process that involves critical thinking and reasoned decision-making.
So it only makes sense to encourage you to visit the Writing Center as often as possible. One session with a Writing Center consultant won't make you a great writer. Nor will it guarantee an "A". But many visits over the course of your college experience, along with hard work and extensive revision in your courses, will help you develop as a writer from wherever you may be the first time you enter our door.
Doane submits an enrollment certification report to the VA each term/semester you are enrolled. These reports are done after census. Check the academic calendar to find the census date for the current term/semester.
Official transcripts are mailed out 2-3 days after the request is received.
If you are applying for financial aid and receive a scholarship from a source outside Doane College, that scholarship becomes part of your financial aid package and is included in your total aid award. All resources available to the student must be included in a student's financial aid package. In some instances, it may be necessary to adjust other aid, usually a loan or work-study, to meet federal regulations. Please notify Doane's Financial Aid Office as soon as you receive any scholarships from outside sources.
When you arrive for your appointment, you and your consultant will open a new session record form, logging your name, the details of the session (i.e. date and time, new or returning visitor, etc.), the details of the assignment (i.e. the class, the professor, etc.), and your objectives for the session. Then, toward the end of your session, you and your consultant will complete the form, making note of several things: paper strengths and weaknesses, issues covered or discussed during the session, plans or suggestions for improvement, etc. Two copies will be printed and signed by you and your consultant. We will keep one copy in the Writing Center, and you will get the other to give to your professor, if you choose.
With that said, you should visit the Writing Center because YOU want to improve as a writer, not because your professor told you to. Why? Good writing isn't an accident. It requires hard work and time, and if you aren't willing to commit both, the consultants in the Writing Center (no matter how caring and well-intentioned we may be) can do only so much to help you.
Eligibility is established by the Department of Defense, not VA. Tuition assistance that is State-funded is not considered a duplication of benefit. Check with your National Guard Education Service Officer if you have questions.
This depends on if withdrawing from the course impacts your academic load, changing your status for example from full-time to part-time. If you do withdraw from a course and your load changes, you need to submit a statement explaining the circumstances. If you are having difficulty with a particular course, the VA does have a tutorial assistance supplemental benefit.

National Zoo panda cub experiences snow
WASHINGTON (AP) - The National Zoo's panda cub got a chance to experience snow.
The zoo said in a message Friday on Twitter that Bao Bao, who was born in August, isn't quite ready to go outside. Instead, keepers brought snow to her inside on Friday morning after the city got a dusting of snow Thursday evening. The Tweet included a picture of Bao Bao sticking her nose in a large bowl of the white stuff.
Bao Bao is expected to make her public debut on Jan. 18.

Yemeni President Says Islamic Jihad behind UK Embassy Attack
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh said on Al Jazira satellite channel on Wednesday that a member of the Yemeni Islamic Jihad carried out the "criminal" attack last week on the British embassy in Sanaa.
"A member of the Islamic Jihad was responsible for the attack on the British embassy in Sanaa and he has been arrested," he said, during the interview on "No Limits" show.
The perpetrator had thrown a hand grenade over the wall of the British embassy, he disclosed.
Yemen recognized earlier on Wednesday that the bomb blast at the embassy in Sanaa was a "premeditated and criminal act" and said its aim was to damage ties between the two countries, said AFP.
Prime Minister Abdel Karim al-Iriyani, in a meeting with British ambassador Victor Henderson, said "the explosion in the British embassy compound in Sanaa was a premeditated and criminal act", an official Yemeni source told AFP.
"This act was aimed to damage relations between Yemen and its British friends," the prime minister said.
Just hours after the blast, Britain's Foreign Secretary Robin Cook said a bomb had been thrown over the embassy wall on October 13 and described it as a "terrorist attack". No one was hurt -- (Several Sources)

No Itinerary has been set as yet.
"Great Trip"
Jordan and the staff at Authentic Ireland listened to our needs and planned a fantastic trip for us . We did the self drive and had no problems what so ever including, all hotels, B&B, Car and pre Paid sightseeing. We did a southern loop including Dublin, Kilkenny, Cork county, Kalarney, the western coasts up to Galway and Connemara. venturing off the beaten path was the best of all. Get yourself lost on a country road and stop to talk to local farmers..They love it and provide great advice for a few secret spots! Thanks again Jordan. We will use and recommend you in the future!
"Ireland Adventure"
Edna assisted in planning a dream trip to Ireland for me and my friends, and I could not have been happier with the experience! From the beginning, Edna understood our desire to travel across Ireland on a small budget. She was quick to respond to my questions and willing to make last-minute adjustments when our plans changed. She reserved a rental car for us which was unbelievably easy to pick up and drop off and booked us at B&Bs with comfortable rooms, friendly hosts, and fabulous food. Ireland must be the most stunning place on earth, and I can't thank Edna and Authentic Ireland enough for sending me to this magical place.
I hope to begin planning a trip to Scotland soon and will certainly be using their services!
"A Great London & Scotland Visit"
Another wonderful vacation made possible by Con Jager and Authentic Ireland! A trip full of history, beautiful places and friendly people is all anyone should hope for and that is what we found for two weeks. The hotels/B & B's/castles were great places to rest after busy days of tours, visits, and walking all over London and the English and Scottish countryside. Our guides and chauffeur were both teachers and pals for happy hours and days of busy but relaxed enjoyment. Thank you Con
"Wonderful Experience"
I had a wonderful experience with Authentic Ireland. This was the first international trip we've taken and Kati made it easy and very special. She worked with me to incorporate everything we wanted to see and do, took care of all the details, responded quickly, and answered all my questions. All we had to do was show up and have a great time. I highly recommend planning your next trip wherever it may be through Authentic Ireland. Thank you, Kati!
"Ireland 2017"
The trip that Emma planned was absolutely amazing! The only thing I would've wished for was a place closer to the city center in Galway, but that's because I preferred parking and walking.
Having two full days in Dublin before picking up the rental car allowed plenty of time to go to the Guinness Storehouse, Jameson Distillery, Trinity College, and shop along Grafton Street.
Each of the hotels and B&Bs were comfortable. Breakfasts were extremely filling. The suggestions for site seeing, both in the cities and along the route were great.
Communication with Emma was wonderful. Any questions that I thought of were answered quickly.
I would definitely recommend Authentic Ireland to anyone planning a trip, and would definitely use them again in the future.

Video of Kenny Loggins Doing a Surprise Performance at a Wedding
Kenny Loggins performed an impromptu set at a wedding in Michigan a few weeks ago. He was a guest because he knows the bride's dad and he wasn't initially planning to perform.
But the dad twisted Kenny's arm, so he agreed to play a short set, which included 'Footloose'!
There aren't a lot of things that can save a dull, summer wedding . . . but I'd think an open bar and a surprise performance from Kenny Loggins could make ANY wedding tolerable.

The finance and insurance sector continued to be the only sector to show a year-to-year decline in revenue, which edged down by $35.0 billion to $3.3 trillion for 2011. The Service Annual Survey provides the most comprehensive national statistics available annually on service activity in the United States. In 2009, the survey was expanded to collect data for all service industries, capturing 55 percent of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). The 2011 Service Annual Survey provides another year of estimates that can used to evaluate the performance of service sectors after the most recent recession."

As per AstroSwami, CAPRICORN Yearly 2010 Horoscopes general zodiac predictions are:
* Ruling Planet: Shani (Saturn)
* Vedic Astrology Name: Makar
* Lucky Numbers: 9, 8, 6
* Lucky Days: Saturday, Friday, Tuesday
* Lucky Colors: Black, Brown, Ark Green
*Lucky Stones: Neelam, Pukhraj, Pearl, Gomeda
All Capricornia are extremely reliable, trustworthy, demanding, attentive and persuasive. This is the reason why people adore and like them. Capricorn 2010 year horoscope is one that brings these people a sense of deep satisfaction. It provides them relaxation, sense of comfort and encouragement. Most Capricornia will pursue projects left behind during the last year. In the process, they may reach success level of their dreams. This year 2010 will be carrying results in the broad sense, and more particularly those which will allow you awakenings essential to your personal blooming. You feel a need for progress which rightly shows you the way to be followed. You are during one ideal time to project you in the future because you dominate concretely events. Some marital issues or family problems will trouble you. You will feel tense sometime during middle of the year but with the support of friends and family you will easily overcome that situation. Take care of your health otherwise you have to bear a lot. Control your expenses and your anger. Flow of money will increase and it is good and appropriate time to invest money.
You courageously advance in the right direction, it is the adequate period to sharpen your weapons, to improve your assets, to act in-depth and perfect the files in progress. Your career will be in the foreground of your thoughts. On the other hand, it is necessary for you to take care not to even show you too hard with you, under pretext of advance more quickly. Everyone will certainly not be on the same energy level than you, be magnanimous… You will work steadily, which with excess, can lead you to overwork and return to you pessimistic while at the same time you are on the road of success. Slacken as soon as possible between April and June particularly, you will also avoid disconnecting you from your optimism, which can in extreme cases isolate you from those who surround you, whereas at the bottom, you wish more than all to give fruits of your efforts to your clan. However, occasional problems related to office workspace may bother throughput the year.
Professional life could be complicated because of workplace jealousy and competition. This is so true during the first four months of the year. Your superiors may not cooperate with you because of many unknown reasons. Business investments may run into trouble while your competitors may start to trouble you with ulterior motives. One word of caution – Never ever lose your patience or get angry, because it may wash all the good work carried out by you in the past. On the other hand, the second half of the year is quite good and satisfactory for all Capricorn people, because things will stabilize by themselves during this time. They will be able to solve most of the problems with their patience and intelligence.
Capricorns are generally very ambitious. There approach towards life is very practical. They are also very caring and fun loving. There personality is much disciplined therefore discipline is one of the positive points about them. If we talk about negativity then they are pessimistic, over conventional and rigid. It is possible to solve all these problems by talking over the existing problems. Relationship with children will be wonderful and love will gently flow between all the family members. The later parts of the New Year will be smooth and fluid with no visible problems whatsoever. Social life will be just out of the world as people may mingle with friends and colleagues with a sense of purpose. The 2010-year Capricorn yearly horoscope indicates a blissful family life coupled with complete satisfaction and contentment.
At the beginning of the year, you will meet circumstances which will enable you to acquire a broader maturity and more retreat on your goals and major motivations. You will be well inspired to question some of your relations, to take distance compared to others in a general way. An assessment is essential within your relations, do not hesitate especially to take retreat faced to your social relations who invade your private life. Your rhythm of life accelerates, and situations which you will meet will make it possible you to cross an additional course towards maturity, in particular between April and September. In October, you will be able to raise the foot and to note fruits of your efforts.
Overseas travelling is a very likely possibility during the later part of the year.
Students, teachers, academicians, researchers, scholars and professionals will also do extremely well during the New Year. Academic career for students will be smooth with chances of scholarships and overseas travel becoming distinct possibilities. Intelligence and smartness will guide these people towards their goalposts. Academic rewards and successes will come naturally to these people especially in the field of research and development.
The first three quarters of the year are extremely peaceful and healthy, while the last quarter may pose some minor health problems related to chest and stomach. Otherwise, all Capricorn people are extremely careful about their health and well-being.
This year 2010 will mobilize your basic energy, you will have difficulties to find the time necessary to resource yourself, it will be necessary to force without scruples to release this so invaluable time. Be careful not to be overworked, reserve the good share with relaxation if you want to hold over the duration. You need to cut you to your everyday life, offer exits, leisure, in particular between April and June, to your preferred leisure, your devotion will find there the relaxation which you miss. First steps of success as from May give you a perfume of contagious optimism, it is the ideal moment to resource yourself by seeking the escape . You will need to give you good time to morally resource yourself, through leisure, spectacles, escapades in mountain. Great visual horizons will effectively help you to centre your energies particularly in autumn.

What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar. —Romans 3:3-4, NAS
Everyone, at some point in their lives, feels that God has betrayed them and let them down. They find He seems more like an enemy than a friend. Nine out of ten people say, "Well, God, if that's how You want it to be, then I'll go my way and You go Yours." Only one out of ten, I reckon, breaks that betrayal barrier and holds on, like Jacob who wrestled with the angel and said, "I won't let go unless you bless Me."
The same kind of thing happened to Abraham. We read in Genesis 22:2 how God tested Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his son—his only son. That made no sense to Abraham. But Abraham showed he was willing to obey God, and God honored him for what he was prepared to do.
Sooner or later, God will ask you to do something that makes no sense at the time. Perhaps the barrier you have to break is the one that doesn't make sense at the time, but you must give God the benefit of the doubt. Abraham obeyed God and was never sorry.
We want God to be partial for us, but we have to come to the place where we allow God to be God. Would we affirm Him if He were to work powerfully in another church, in another denomination? Would we say, "That is God"?
During the American Civil War, someone came up to President Lincoln and asked, "Is God on our side or their side?" Lincoln's reply was, "All I want to know is whether we are on God's side." That is what we need to learn. When it comes to understanding God, we need to be on God's side and let God be God.

The SkiFever and Snowboard Show returns to Seattle but in a new location at the Washington State Convention Center for its 43rd edition for three days in mid October.
Dan Schindler, the show's promoter, said, "Every major specialty ski and snowsport retailer in the Northwest will be represented. The selling atmosphere is competitive, which is good news for the consumer."
Those consumers can consult manufacturers' representatives from the ski and snowboard industries before buying, in an effort to sort through the complexities of new designs and styles from Salomon, Rossignol, K2, Dynastar, Ride, and others.
In another part of the hall, visitors can visit the resort area to consult spokesmen for resorts and tour operators on their winter vacation and travel plans. Here they will find discounts available only at the show.
With admission comes a coupon book good for two-for-one lift tickets and other discounts during the snow season.
Top athletes will excite the crowd with flips and big air, while dancers will entertain in a fashion show of the latest styles from Columbia, Betty Rides and others.
There will be hourly drawings for merchandise and trips, culminating in the grand prize, an Alaska Airlines "Fun Packed Ski Vacation" to Whistler Blackcomb.

Tell Her For Me is the culmination of Darragh's varied experiences expressed with maturity, as he finds his voice now crooning jazz standards and originals while sitting at the piano, backed by upright bass, guitar, sax, trumpet and drums. While many debut releases seek to show-all, tell-all, Darragh instead focuses in on an understated cool" theme that swings, and the recording stands as a collective work of art, rather than a series of unrelated singles.
Much of the subject matter of these tunes covers regret, negotiating heartache, and unrequited love. One original is even entitled Regret, which begins with: I didn't ask her name. Nervous was I, too afraid."
While Missing You was written about a relationship with a girl who suddenly shipped off to college, he says it's not related to Wrong Ending, which was another story, not related to Early (originally named Not Yet) about a relationship that was just before its time. When a friend's mother died, Dream Boxes was written for the memorial service. None of these relate to his current relationship which has made Darragh ridiculously happy," and we can all expect more uplifting songs from him in the future.
But through it all Darragh is able to communicate heartfelt music that swings, and features his understated piano that floats through the room like a wisp of smoke, with expressive vocals that drip honey even when they are remorseful. The sentimental moments are made even more meaningful thanks to a few well-chosen bits of humor, such as on Everything Happens to Me (Adair/Dennis), a tune that gives new meaning to being down on one's luck:
I've telegraphed and phoned;
I sent air mail special, too;
Your answer was goodbye--
And there was even postage due.
I fell in love just once;
And then it had to be with you,
Everything happens to me.
The last song of the CD, The Harvard Dictionary Of Music Song, ends with the line just order one and your wildest dreams will come true," so it's good to know at least one possible solution to the blues.
The musicians on this recording do a good job of matching the mood. Solos by Carol Morgan (trumpet), Seth Paynter (tenor sax), Erin Wright (guitar), and Darragh himself on trombone, give the music the richness it deserves, whether it be a ballad or up-tempo swing tune. Glen Ackerman and Erin Wright trade off on upright bass, and Chuck Payne delivers the goods on drums. To hear sound clips, or view Henry Darragh's itinerary, visit HenryDarragh.com.

AN ELDERLY typewriter in Beaminster Museum inspired a schoolgirl to write a prize-winning poem.
Ten-year-old Choka Ayunga was presented with the first prize for the museum's Junior Literary Competition, for her poem entitled The Typewriter That Hides Upstairs.
The prize of a £20 book token and signed copy of The Palace Library by local author Steven Loveridge was presented by Christophe Dupuy, another local children's author who writes about Ruby the Routemaster.
This competition was held in conjunction with the museum's exhibition 'Local Writers and Local Writings' which showcased the significant number of authors and poets who lived in or wrote about the local area.
Young visitors up to the age of 12 were invited to submit a short story or poem inspired by anything they had seen in the museum or based on Beaminster or one of the nearby villages.
Entries were submitted to a panel of judges comprising Steven Loveridge and Christophe Dupuy with the museum's curator, Brian Earl and education coordinator, Sue Morse.
Choka's poem now enjoys pride of place in the museum alongside the artefact – an early 20th century LC Smith & Corona typewriter – that inspired her poem. It can also be read on the museum's website on beaminstermuseum.org with two highly commended entries; 'The Netherbury Knight' by Georgina Gardner and 'Together at Last' by Isabel Hallett. Beaminster Museum opened its doors to the public on Saturday, April 5, with a new exhibition, 'Water: Shaping Life on the River Brit' which shows how settlements in the area were determined by the availability of water and how man, over the centuries, has attempted to manipulate water for his own ends.

BRISBANE defender Ivan Franjic has been ruled out of the Roar's clash with Wellington Phoenix on Sunday at Suncorp Stadium due to concussion.
Franjic was taken to hospital following his collision with teammate Michael Theo in the first half of the Roar's AFC Champions League qualifier against Buriram United on Wednesday night in Thailand.
An ordinary Brisbane lost 3-0 in a penalty shootout after neither side could score in 120 minutes of football.
Brisbane's failure to reach the group stages of the Champions League has increased the pressure on interim coach Mike Mulvey.
"We're all bitterly disappointed with the result of the match, but I believe every Brisbane Roar fan can be proud of the effort their team showed against Buriram," Mulvey said.
"Every single player gave everything they had for the shirt, the club and the fans.
"We understandably have some very tired boys right now, but there is a real steel and determination to go to Suncorp Stadium on Sunday and secure a positive result."
The Roar will be boosted by the return from injury of midfielder Massimo Murdocca and attacker Henrique for Sunday's home clash against the Phoenix.
"Not only are they important players, but both bring a real energy to the playing group," Mulvey said.
"The buzz both of these players bring to the squad can only help energise the players around them."
Originally published as Franjic to miss with concussion

Allahabad, Oct. 2 (ANI): Calling Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's performance in the Press Club last week a drama, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday said the opposition did not believe that the Congress number two was against corruption as he claimed .
Commenting on reports suggesting that the Congress core group has decided to withdraw the proposed ordinance on convicted lawmakers, Prasad said: "Rahul Gandhi has not won, he has simply done drama. ... Am I supposed to believe that Rahul Gandhi and his government are separate? Rahul Gandhi is quiet during every instance of corruption...so, this sudden urge to distance himself from the government is what I take as drama."
"But yes, public pressure and pressure from the Bharatiya Janata Party has ensured that the right thing is done," he added.
While reiterating his party's stance on the Ordinance, Prasad said: "The BJP was extremely concerned and that is the reason why we went to meet the President. Convicted lawmakers must complete their term of punishment. The laws of this country would not let Lalu Prasad contest the next elections, with or without this law."
Earlier today, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh met President Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan here to brief him on the decision taken by the Congress Core Group with regard to the Ordinance on convicted parliamentarians.
According to sources, the Congress Core Group has decided to withdraw the Ordinance. The meeting was attended by the Prime Minister, party chief Sonia Gandhi, Ahmed Patel and others. Finance Minister P. Chidambaram and Defence Minister A.K. Antony were not present at the meeting.
The meeting of the Congress Core Group was significant in wake of Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's public outburst against the Ordinance.
Rahul Gandhi met the Prime Minister for about 25 minutes earlier today. This was the Prime Minister's first interaction with Rahul Gandhi after his return from U.S.
A special Cabinet meeting has been called at 6 p.m. today.
Dr. Manmohan Singh, who returned home yesterday after his five-day visit to the United States, said there is no question of him resigning from office.
"I have seen Rahul Gandhi's statement. He has written to me on this subject also, and, let me say, that when issues are raised in a democracy, in a democratic polity, the right course is to start trying to understand what is agitating the minds of the concerned people. When I go back, I will discuss these matters with Mr. Rahul Gandhi. He has asked for a meeting with me, and, I will also take my Cabinet colleagues into confidence. We will see which way the wind blows," Dr. Singh said onboard Air India One.
When specifically asked to respond to the opposition's demand that he should have resigned from office immediately after Gandhi's criticism of the Ordinance while he was abroad, Dr. Singh said: "Well, there is no question of resigning. I said I will put all these issues before my Cabinet colleagues. These are all matters which are discussed before the highest body, the core group of the Congress Party. The Cabinet discussed this matter twice, not once. But, it is always possible to change one's mind, and, I will consult my colleagues on all these issues," he added.
In a major embarrassment to the ruling UPA, Rahul Gandhi had earlier on September 27 dubbed the Ordinance to negate the Supreme Court verdict on convicted lawmakers as 'complete nonsense', and said it should be torn up and thrown away.
"I personally think what the government is doing on the Ordinance is wrong. It was a political decision, every party does it, and there is a time to stop this nonsense," Gandhi had said in New Delhi. (ANI)

SLE Patients See Good Outcomes in Blood Cancers
Risk of hematologic malignancy may be increased in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus compared with the general population, but outcomes with these cancers are about the same, a small retrospective study suggested.
Patients diagnosed with hematological malignancies before or concurrently with SLE in the study presented with earlier-stage disease and often achieved cancer remission, according to the report in Lupus Science and Medicine.
SLE patients have been known since the 1970s to be at higher risk for cancer, especially for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which in earlier studies resulted in higher overall mortality among SLE patients.
The study analyzed 45 patients at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor with confirmed SLE and hematological...

A Letter to President Obama
The President is getting hammered on the Catholic issue again. It's not Notre Dame this time. Now it has to do with someone he named to his Faith Council.
Harry Knox from the Human Rights Campaign has said some pretty controversial things about the Pope. Now some leading conservative leaders have come together and have sent the following letter to President Obama. It was just released this morning. Read it below:
Quick comment: mark my words: one of the key religious themes of the 2012 campaign is already taking shape. We have a Catholic battle on our hands. Conservative, pro-life Catholics are going to try and label the President as anti-Catholic. Moderate Catholic groups will defend the President and his policies. The Obama team won this battle in 2008. They'll have to work overtime in 2012 to overcome a mounting offensive.
President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20500-0003
Dear Mr. President,
On April 6, you named Harry Knox to your Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. You claim to have created this Council, among other things, to "bring everyone together – from both the secular and faith-based communities."
Harry Knox is the hate-filled antithesis of this noble objective. Knox is a virulent anti-Catholic bigot, and has made numerous vile and dishonest attacks against the Church and the Holy Father. He has no business on any Council having to do with faith or religion.
We do not know if you or members of your Administration were aware of Knox's deplorable, abusive attitude towards the Church and Pope Benedict XVI when you named him to the Council. We assume you were not. But since then, there have been numerous press reports on Knox's loathsome, and clearly bigoted rhetoric, so there no longer is any excuse for your failure to act. We can remain silent no longer.
As Catholics, we call on you to remove Mr. Knox from his position and to formally disassociate yourself from his militant anti-Catholicism. Failure to do so will result in the tainting of your Faith-Based Council—and indeed, your entire administration—as anti-Catholic. We urge you to give this matter your immediate consideration.

"Global warming is bringing more frequent and severe heat waves, and the result will be serious for vulnerable populations," said Dr. Amanda Staudt, National Wildlife Federation climate scientist. "That means air pollution in urban areas could get worse, bringing increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and asthma attacks. Children, the elderly, poor, and people of color are especially vulnerable to these effects."
More extremely hot summer days are projected for every part of the country, and 30 large cities are especially vulnerable.
Unfortunately, climate models indicate that an average summer in 2050 will have even more days topping 90°F if global warming continues unabated.
Many Americans in the eastern and southern United States experienced sweltering heat during the summer of 2010. Global temperature records were set during the early summer months, and states and cities also set numerous temperature records.
Watch more about heat waves and how global warming plays a part with Dr. Amanda Staudt, NWF's climate scientist:
See how several cities fared in 2010 compared to past years (click to open pdfs):
Scientists project that if global warming continues unabated, we will see the following impacts:
Heat waves disproportionately impact people who are poor, elderly, children, or have asthma or heart disease, or live in big cities.
"Global warming is one of the gravest health emergencies facing humanity. It's life-threatening and it's affecting us now," said Dr. Peter Wilk, MD, executive director, Physicians for Social Responsibility. "The science confirms that the frequency and duration of heat waves has increased significantly over the last 50 years. In the United States, heat waves already kill more people during a typical year than floods, tornadoes and earthquakes combined. Given these worsening trends, taking decisive action to stop global warming becomes a medical necessity."
