Minivan jumps pool, crashes into Orlando house
Home sustained structural damage, officials say
ORLANDO, Fla. – An out-of-control minivan carrying a mother and two young girls struck a car before crashing into a house Thursday morning in Orlando, according to officials.
The wreck happened around 7:50 a.m. near Hinkley Road and Hudson Street in Pine Hills.
The mother and her daughters, ages 2 and 5, were not injured in the crash, which the woman said occurred because her brakes failed.
According to the driver of the car that was struck, the minivan slammed into the front of her vehicle while she was stopped, drove through a couple of yards and jumped a swimming pool before crashing through a screened-in porch and into the house.
Two people inside the home were uninjured after the minivan came to a stop a few feet from where they were sitting.
The driver of the other car was also not injured.
The house sustained structural damage.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.

The Lions Dinnerstevejb68 on May 1, 2014 in Leadership
The Melrose Lions Club is one of several service organizations that do a great job of helping our community. They also support our Boy Scout troop. While our troop's usual fundraisers raise enough money for our regular program needs The Lions, VFW Post, and American Legion help us out when it is time to replace equipment like tents and dining flies.
Once a year, the Melrose Lions invites community volunteers to a dinner to recognize them for their service and commitment. Members of the fire department, the ambulance corps, and the police reserve attend along with members of the local food shelf, Project Give-A-Gift, Scouting, and others.
Three adult leaders from Boy Scout Troop 68 attended this year's meal held on Wednesday, April 23rd. Scoutmaster Jim, Assistant scoutmaster Eymard, and myself as a committee member enjoyed a great meal of chicken, dressing, mash potatoes with gravy, corn, and a choice of cookie. Joining us at the table were members of the police reserve and a couple members from the Lions Club.
It was a good night of fun and fellowship, and nice to be recognized for the many hours of service we all donate to our community. I would like to thank the members of the Melrose Lions club, and also thank them for all their support of Scouting over the years.

Viciedo content with White Sox outfield platoon
CHICAGO -- After his two-homer Opening Day effort, Alejandro De Aza was back in Wednesday's starting lineup. That move means Dayan Viciedo remained on the bench.
General manager Rick Hahn told MLB.com Monday that the De Aza/Viciedo left-field situation could break down as easily as a lefty/righty platoon. But he also stressed that De Aza had a great Spring Training and that the team and Viciedo are on the same page in terms of what they want from him. Now, they just want to see those talks between Viciedo and hitting coach Todd Steverson executed in games.
"Basically, being more patient," Viciedo said through translator and White Sox manager of cultural development Lino Diaz, of what the White Sox want. "We talked about being more patient and being more selective as far as the pitches that we pick to hit.
"We worked on that during Spring Training. We had pretty good results. It's a matter of staying consistent."
Viciedo is working in the cage through tee work and soft toss to stay sharp and keep ready for when his name is called. His ultimate goal clearly is to play every day, as is the case for any 25-year-old possessing Viciedo's ability.
"Yes, that's what every player wants. I want to play every day," Viciedo said. "But right now, you have to deal with what you have. You have to stay sharp. So when you get a chance to play, then you are able to do that and be able to help the team."

Court ruling that NRG allegations are without merit considered a major step in proposed acquisition
CHICAGO (June 22, 2009) - The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York today ruled that the remaining allegations raised in a suit filed by NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG) on March 17 are without merit. The court had earlier dismissed other allegations in NRG's lawsuit. By order dated June 19, the judge rejected NRG's remaining claim that Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC) does not intend to complete the exchange offer according to its terms and entered judgment in favor of Exelon.
"Despite NRG's many attempts to obstruct Exelon's offer, Exelon remains committed to a combination with NRG that delivers value for shareholders of both companies," said William A. Von Hoene, Jr., Exelon executive vice president, finance and legal. "We are now focused on the election of nine new, independent and experienced NRG directors who will act in the best interests of NRG shareholders at NRG's annual meeting of stockholders scheduled for July 21, 2009."
Exelon announced on October 19, 2008, its proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of NRG common stock at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.485 of a share of Exelon common stock for each share of NRG common stock, which represented a 37% premium for NRG stockholders based on closing prices on the NYSE on October 17, 2008, the last trading day prior to the public disclosure of the Exelon offer. After NRG twice rejected the Exelon offer, Exelon brought its exchange offer directly to NRG shareholders on November 12, 2008.

netcat utility (nc command) considered as TCP/IP swiss army knife. It reads and writes data across network connections, using TCP or UDP protocol. It is designed to be a reliable "back-end" tool that can be used directly or easily driven by other programs and scripts. At the same time, it is a feature-rich network debugging and exploration tool, since it can create almost any kind of connection you would need and has several interesting built-in capabilities.
I also install the netcat package for administering a network and you'd like to use its debugging and network exploration capabilities.
One my favorite usage is to migrating data between two server hard drives using netcat over a network. It is very easy to copy complete drive image from one server to another.
You can also use ssh for the same purpose, but encryption adds its own overheads. This is tried and trusted method (hat tip to karl) .
Make sure you have backup of all important data.
Install netcat
It is possible that nc may not be installed by default under Redhat / CentOS / Debian Linux.
Insall nc under Redhat / CentOS / Fedora Linux
Use yum command as follows:
# yum install nc
Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "rhnplugin" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories rhel-x86_64-server-vt-5 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB 00:00 rhel-x86_64-server-5 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Debian / Ubuntu Linux netcat installation
Simply use apt-get command:
$ sudo apt-get install netcat
How do I use netcat to copy hard disk image?
Our sample setup
----------------------- HostA // 192.168.1.1 ------------------------ sda NETWORK sdb ------------------------ HostB // 192.168.1.2 -------------------------
Your task is copy HostA /dev/sda to HostB's /dev/sdb using netcat command. First login as root user
Command to type on hostB (receiving end ~ write image mode)
You need to open port on hostB using netcat, enter :
# netcat -p 2222 -l |bzip2 -d | dd of=/dev/sdb
- -p 2222 : Specifies the source port nc should use, subject to privilege restrictions and availability. Make sure port 2222 is not used by another process.
- -l : Used to specify that nc should listen for an incoming connection rather than initiate a connection to a remote host.
- bzip2 -d : Compresses image using the Burrows-Wheeler block sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. This will speed up network transfer ( -d : force decompression mode)
- dd of=/dev/sda : /dev/sda is your hard disk. You can also specify partition such as /dev/sda1
Command to type on hostA (send data over a network ~ read image mode)
Now all you have to do is start copying image. Again login as root and enter:
# bzip2 -c /dev/sda | netcat hostA 2222
OR use IP address:
# bzip2 -c /dev/sda | netcat 192.168.1.1 2222
This process takes its own time.
A note about latest netcat version 1.84-10 and above
If you are using latest nc / netcat version above syntax will generate an error. It is an error to use -l option in conjunction with the -p, -s, or -z options. Additionally, any timeouts specified with the -w option are ignored. So use nc command as follows.
On hostA, enter:
# nc -l 2222 > /dev/sdb
On hostB, enter:
# nc hostA 2222< /dev/sda
# nc 192.168.1.1 2222< /dev/sda
Using a second machine (hostB), connect to the listening nc process at 2222 (hostA), feeding it the file (/dev/sda)which is to be transferred. You can use bzip2 as follows.
On hostA, enter:
# nc -l 2222 | bzip2 -d > /dev/sdb
On hostB, enter:
# bzip2 -c /dev/sda | nc 192.168.1.1 2222
Further readings
- netcat command other usage - Linux port scanning with netcat (nc) command (you can also use nmap command for port scanning)
- nc and bzip2 command man page
- A good collection of netcat command usage
- Another good netcat disk image howto
How do I improve performance?
As suggested by anonymous user:
You should definitely use bs=16M or something like that. Otherwise, the copy will take forever. Copying a 300 GB hard drive over a 1 Gbps cross-over cable took about 1 1/2 hours or so using bs=16M Without this option, the same thing would have taken about 7 hours.
In short use command as follows:
# netcat -p 2222 -l |bzip2 -d | dd of=/dev/sdb bs=16M
Updated for accuracy.

I can has Mac Version?
With pledges now exceeding $1.5 Million via Kickstarter and the total number of backers almost 30 thousand pledgees, Brian Fargo and InXile have committed to a Mac and Linux version of Wasteland 2… however they have confirmed that console versions, including the Playstation Vita, are extremely unlikely.
For those of you having problems donating via Kickstarter, you can now donate via PayPal - an extra $6k has already been raised this way. You'll still get the same goodies, but the levels top out at $500.
InXile have also committed to spend at least 5% of any profit made on Wasteland 2 on other Kickstarter Projects. Other kick-starter users are also being encouraged to pledge a similar amount under the brand "Kicking it Forward".
NMA to appear in Wasteland 2
No Mutants allowed have raised $1,221 in order to purchase a bar in Wasteland 2. Contributors to their fundraising effort will also have their names mentioned in game.
Liz Danforth talks Wasteland
Liz Danforth, who created the "Highpool" map in Wasteland 1, and is in the new Wasteland team has been talking wasteland and more on her blog. Here's what she had to say on her work on wasteland:
- WASTELAND :I wasn't a big part of the original project, but Highpool was one of the areas I wrote that appears early in the game. People still make sour faces when I grin evilly and say I was responsible for the tragedy with the kid and the rabid dog. I did other bits elsewhere in the game too, but that's the piece I hear the most feedback about.
- Still, the remarks aren't always kind! I recall a forum comment I read just a year or two ago, saying something like "What kind of sick mind thinks up a situation where you have to kill a kid's dog? And the kid too?"
- *ahem* Wasteland is a post-apocalyptic world set in our near future. An animal infected with full-blown rabies can't be saved in our world, today. With limited medical supplies and a trashed infrastructure, how in hell do you imagine you could possibly do anything but put a rabid dog out of its misery?
- You never had to kill the kid, either. He'd throw himself at you, yes, but you're playing a squad of big strong mega-weaponed Rangers! Grownups! Walk away. It's not like you were chickenshit for backing down from some evil-hearted final boss bent on scourging the world and all you loved within it. It was a little boy.
- True, if you passed through the area again, the kid would scream and yell and accuse you of terrible things — forever. But why would the boy forget the bad strangers who killed his beloved dog? He'd only asked you to help him.
- You were never allowed to forget either.
- EMOTIONAL CONTENT That isn't something that happened in video games of the time. I didn't know that — the scenario I created was the kind of thing I'd've written for a bit of fiction, or a tabletop game. I play with emotions, and I still delight in knowing a little story I wrote can make strong men and women cry. The rabid dog's tale was simply cause and effect, a touch of the unexpected (for the time), and the power of unforeseen consequences.
- I remember that I had to argue to keep that event the way I wrote it. I think it was Alan Pavlish who said "But you have to give them a way to save the dog!" I explained the medical reasons why I felt that was unacceptable, how effective it would be to keep it this way, and he finally said okie-dokie. And that's how the story was eventually programmed.
- That was just little tiny bit of storyline in a larger game that had many memorable moments. The whole team's joint efforts resulted in something amazing, with impact that still resonates. And even if it did get me called "a sick mind" decades later, people tell me they still remember the dog, decades later.
Selected Quotes
Straw poll on continuing coverage
Just thought I'd setup a quick straw poll on how much coverage people would like to see on Wasteland moving forward. The poll isn't a binding one (ie- if its something like 55% against continued coverage, 45% in favour then theres still a significant amount of people who want to see more coverage) its just to help me gauge what amount of coverage is right
Project Spotlight
Lots of Project news this Week, we have new user, and first New User Network participant CrimsonFrankie on his first project - The Fallout 1/2 Quote project; we follow this with SigmaDelta on the Weapons Conditions Project and Mystery Stranger takes us out with the Fallout 1 and 2 Characters Project.
New Project: Fallout 1/2 Quotation project
The articles of this wiki have an outstanding amount of information. As a long-term reader, I've always appreciated that. One particular part of the articles that I've always found singular was the quotes section: remarkable sentences that conceptually define the subject the article is about, be it a character or a whole faction. They literally open the article, and they provide the readers with in-game lines that sometimes can give them goosebumps – like the ones found on Marcus' article do with me–, and make those readers more familiar with the actual feeling of the game. Unfortunately, some notable pages lack quotes – especially from the earlier games –, and as a new editor, having already added quotes to several articles, I want to change that. The Fallout 1/2 Quotations Project aims to add those pleasant, precise quotes that may seem like a simple element, but that make Nukapedia so appreciable and complete. My intention is to improve and beautify Fallout 1 and 2 articles, but perhaps there will be another opportunity for a Quotation Project for the new games as well. That's part of my mission, and any contributor will be very welcome.
Crimson Frankie
Project Completed: The Weapons Condition Project
The weapon condition project is now officially finished! Big thanks to our participants, especially The Gunny, who spearheaded much of the project. The project's goal was to include information on weapon durability for every unarmed, melee, and projectile-firing weapons in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. If you haven't noticed already, these weapons pages now have a special durability subsection. Enjoy!

Project Completed: The Fallout 1 and 2 characters project
The project began in August 13th, 2009. It was started by Ausir. The project was dedicated to add images and info to Fallout 1 and 2 characters. Porter21, Onipix and Winterheart were the first to be the participants. However, people started not to work on the project, as seen in December 11, 2009 when Porter deleted names on the participants list, altough there were still more people contributing to the project. Unfortunately, the participants started not to contribute, as 18 were deleted from the list in november 11th, 2011. Luckily, I came to contribute. At first I didn't know that my work before was actually according to the project, so I added my name to the list in February 1st, 2012. After discovering the link (category:Fallout character models), not much difficulty was there, as it was difficult finding the images. Finally, after 2.5 years, the project ended with me and Jspoelstra as the last participants. However, I would like to say a big thank you for anyone who conteributed to the project!

Relic of the war that wasn't
Here at the news digest we LOOOOVE Nukes - Who doesn't right? And with nukes, like all things, surely the bigger the better right?
In October 1961 the Soviet Union detonated what was then, and still remains the worlds largest Nuclear bomb, at a mere equivalent of 57 Megatonnes of TNT - which was a compromise figure because they found 100 Megatonnes technologically too tricky.
You can learn more about the Tsar Bomba either on Wikipedia, or check out this video

My Newton connection
The first Newton in my pedigree is my 3x great grandmother Harriet Miller Newton, born 1814 in Cullercoats, Northumberland. Her father was my 4x great grandfather William Newton born in 1791 in Cullercoats. The Newton surname becomes a popular first name for several of Harriet's Henderson descendants.
Are we connected to a famous John Newton?
My Henderson relatives have suggested that we may have a connection to John Newton of Amazing Grace fame. Although both families are seafaring folks I have found no evidence yet to verify this theory.

Reduced energy consumption
Electric motors can account for 70% of the electricity bill
Cut energy consumption with SKF bearingsBy definition, bearings are energy savers, in that they reduce friction torque and minimize heat losses. SKF Energy Efficient Ball Bearings take these inherent advantages to unmatched levels, reducing bearing friction torque by 30 to 50% for most electric motor applications.
Best practices for repairs = better energy efficiency
In situations where a repair makes more economic sense than a motor replacement you must not forget its potential effect on the motor's efficiency and your total cost of ownership.
As independent research shows, electric motor repairs or diagnostics not conducted according to best practices can reduce machine efficiency by several percentage points. Over time, even the smallest efficiency losses from repairs can lead to higher energy and maintenance costs.
By using an SKF Certified Rebuilder for your repairs, however, you can be assured that your motor is running as efficiently as the day it was commissioned.

Why do women from the USA look for abortion pillls online?
Women on Web helped identifying women who wanted to participate in a new research by Abigail Aiken that has just been published in Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health.
In total 32 people from 20 states who sought abortion medications online were interviewed anonymously. A major barrier for participants living in states with restrictive laws was the high cost of clinical care. Other participants described major logistical challenges resulting from state abortion laws, such as waiting periods and ultrasound requirements. Other access barriers were long distances to clinics, lack of transportation and difficulty finding information.
Another reason for considering ordering medications online, was that some people preferred doing their own abortions at home instead of seeking care within the formal health care setting because of convenience, privacy and the comfort and familiarity of one's own home.
"Our study shows that there is a public health justification to ensure that people who do self-manage can do so safely," Aiken said.
Women living in the USA who need an safe abortion can always contact Women on Web for further guidance.

We can't dismiss red flags before Fort Hood tragedy
Army Maj. Nidal Hasan went on trial in a military court at Fort Hood, Texas, this week, with his life on the line.
Hasan killed 13 people and wounded dozens more in a 2009 shooting rampage at the post. He has admitted that, meaning the Army court martial's purpose amounts to determining whether he should be sentenced to death.
More than a formality may be involved, however.
It already is known that Hasan, a fanatical Muslim and supporter of Islamic terrorists, displayed many warning signs during a very troubled career as an Army psychiatrist. Yet military authorities did virtually nothing about him until it was too late.
Of course, Army officers in charge of the court martial will not want testimony about that fatal neglect to be heard. But more needs to be known about it, and perhaps the trial will offer an opportunity for the American people to hear such testimony – and then to ask whether the Pentagon has changed anything.


text: HD800S - best solid state reasonably priced amplifier? 2018-06-12 17:43:54 Hi,I've just purchased a Sennheiser HD800S and would appreciate some guidance on the choice of a headphone amplifier. The HD800S has an impedance rating of 300 Ohms but I understand that this can vary across the frequency range. I have become quite jaded having read Head-Fi for many years and been to two CanJams. Disappointments include the Focal range, the Stax SR-009 and a plethora of overrated valve amplifiers. I currently also own a Stax SR-007A and SRM-300 which conveniently avoid (unless you're in the pay of Blue Hawaii) complications regarding amplifiers.On the short list are the NJC Reference II and the slightly pricier Lake People RS 02. To the extent that the power ratings below are accurate, the Lake People RS 02 would seem to be more powerful and versatile. Would this necessarily translate into better performance, i.e. more bass and volume, on the HD800S or is the NJC Reference II already sufficient? Both are equal for distortion and probably frequency response. I've read a thread here which suggests that either the O2 (not Lake People) or an Asus STX II soundcard (I can hear the audiophiles with their pitchforks) are sufficiently powerful to adequately drive the HD800S, but I would like to get an uncompromising amplifier which has ample power to drive the HD800S.NJC Reference IIBoth channels driven (<1% THD) 3.7W (22 Ohms), 3.1W (32 Ohms), 2.2W (50 Ohms), 195mw (600 Ohms)Lake People RS 02Both channels driven ( 1 kHz / < 0,1 % THD+N) 19,0 Veff in 600 Ohms = 600 mW 18,1 Veff in 300 Ohm = 1100 mW15,5 Veff in 100 Ohm = 2400 mW9,7 Veff in 50 Ohms = 1900 mW6,2 Veff in 32 Ohms = 1200 mW3,4 Veff in 16 Ohms = 710 mWMartyn

The intermittent rain showers on Thursday afternoon, August 21 didn't deter Market Rally and Avalicious from their main objectives as each won their respective $60,200 divisions of 3-year-old trotting fillies in New York Sire Stakes at Monticello Raceway. Both fillies, from the powerful Ron Burke stable, were driven to victory by Jimmy Morrill, Jr..
The two trotting events were the last of the NYSS preliminary legs prior to the top point earners in the summer-long series convening at Yonkers Raceway on September 13 to compete in their $225,000 Division Final.
With her victory in a time of 1:57.3 Market Rally finished with 325 points which will undoubtedly make her the favorite in her rich NYSS finale. Avalicious, on the other hand, was victorious in 1:57.4 and finished with 175 points as second best.
There's no argument that Market Rally has been the best NYSS sophomore trotting filly this year and her 9-length victory over Gammy's Girl (Mark MacDonald) and Cutup Hanover (Jeff Gregory) only emphasized it.
With her triumph on Thursday the daughter of Cash Hall-Supreme Dish has run her seasonal bankroll to over $262,000 on the strength of six wins and one second in nine starts.
Sent off the1-9 favorite from the pole position Morrill hustled Market Rally to the lead as Gates Brunet and Driving Miss Crazy left strong from the six hole. The two fillies were wide open on the first turn but unfortunately for Driving Miss Crazy's connections she went off-stride and Market Rally was alone on the front-end when she tripped the first quarter timer in :28.2
Two lengths in front as she passed the half in :57 Morrill was looking to give his filly a breather. When she passed the third stanza in 1:27 Market Rally had a five length lead which she opened to nine at the wire.
"We were getting out of there pretty quickly and I got my filly wound up, and because of that we got to the half faster than I wanted to, "Morrill related. But from there she was on cruise-control the rest of the way."
Owned by the Burke Stable, Weaver-Buscemi, Our Cents Stable and the Panhellenic Stable, Market rally paid $2.30 for win.
In the other NYSS split Morrill eased Avalicious away from the gate slowly and at the first quarter they were in sixth position, some nine lengths off the leader.
Morrill bided his time in the early going and at the half he moved the filly out behind cover and it up the backside and into the final turn before he gave Avalicious her head. And when he did the daughter of RC Royalty-Say Your Prayers rallied to a three length victory, her fifth of the year.
Asked why Avalious was four, or so, lengths off the gate at the start of the race Morrill explained; "I wanted to ease her away so she'd stay trotting. She gets a little anxious behind the gate but once she gets away (on the trot) she's usually steady the rest of the mile."
Avalicious, owned by M.C. Crawford, A.C. Crawford and P.D. Crawford, was sent off as the 3-10 betting favorite and returned a $2.60 win mutuel.
Three Excelsior Series trots bolstered the undercard with the locally owned Dreamsteeler the most impressive.
(Local) owner Andy Herzog was on hand to watch his Cash Hall-Dream Street filly maul her competition with Jimmy Morrill, Jr. at the lines. It was Dreamsteeler's seventh win in eight seasonal starts after going 10 for 10 last year.
Sent off five cents on a dollar, Dreamsteeler was victorious in a time of 2:01 and paid $2.10 for win.
After the photo was taken in the winners circle Herzog was asked why Dreamsteeler doesn't race in the sire stakes. "I bought her in mid-June and she wasn't eligible to them (the NYSS), only to the Excelsior Series. But she's already won my money back and I got a pretty nice filly trotter to boot."
Other Excelsior winners were Ski To The Max (Gates Brunet) in 2:02.1 and Slice Slice Baby (Charlei Norris) in 2:00.2.

Childhood dance lessons aren't just about little girls in tutus anymore. From ballroom dancing to hip hop to ballet, boys and girls are enrolling all across the state and the benefits don't stop at physical fitness.
Childhood dance lessons aren't just about little girls in tutus anymore. From ballroom dancing to hip hop to ballet, boys and girls are enrolling all across the state and the benefits don't stop at physical fitness. Children who take dance lessons develop social skills, self-confidence, and leadership tools that can help them succeed in school, college and beyond.Competitive Dance
Dance Fever in Newton is the largest competitive ballroom dancing studio in North America. When it opened seven years ago by Lithuanian born Emil and Ruta Ioukhnikov, this type of dancing for children was common in Europe, but hadn't yet hit the United States. Now, with the popularity of hit reality shows like Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance, business is booming. Students begin as early as 4 years old, and as they progress through lessons, can decide to participate in competitions, 75 percent of which are held in New England.
"It's a way to find positive company to socialize with," said Emil Ioukhikov. "Later, they can decide if they want to compete."
Dance Fever lessons are as popular with teenagers as they are with the younger set. The lessons can get a 14 or 15-year-old ready for school dances and socializing, all while building self esteem. "You can't dance and be in a bad mood," Emil Ioukhikov said.
"You also can't dance without talking to your partner…after a while, you become friends and are ready for the stage."Energetic Dance
AnneMarie McVicar, owner of Dance Explosion in Dedham, offers everything from jazz, tap, hip hop, theater, and voice lessons to children as young as three at her Dedham studio. Parents frequently enroll their energetic children as a way to give them a creative and physical outlet. From jumping, hopping, skipping and basic ballet positions, McVicar and her instructors are able to teach children how to take direction in a classroom setting, which will benefit them once they enter school.
"That's part of our job—we teach them how to behave in a dance class," she said. "If they can pay attention in a dance room, they'll do much better in a relaxed classroom."
The gregarious students aren't the only ones who do well at Dance Explosion. McVicar also has children who are shy and parents who think dance class might help. "We let [the children] sit off to the side and every few minutes ask them if they'd like to join," she said. "They need to do it on their own time and eventually, they do."Fitness Dance
Peanut Butter and Jelly Dance in Brookline has a professional company of adults who teach children about dance, as well as a professional company of children who perform for the community. In addition, PB&J offers dance classes to children from 3-9.
"Dance has a lot of benefits besides keeping children physically fit," said director and teacher Jeanne Traxler. "Children practice coordination, problem solving, and thinking and moving at the same time."
Things like basic vocabulary and group games can prepare a child for preschool and get them used to trying new activities in a social or classroom setting. Activities like preparing for a recital or performance can give children a feeling of accomplishment and completion as well as getting them used to standing in front of an audience. "Dance doesn't have to be competitive," said Traxler. "You're not a winner or a loser, you just have a good feeling at the end of the day for a job well done."
Tips when choosing a studio
Whether you want dance to help your child with self-esteem, shyness, or physical fitness, McVicar urges parents to do their homework. She suggests Web sites like www.dancemoms.com, and www.danceart.com. "It should be fun, but it's also a school," she said. "You don't necessarily want to choose one just because it's down the street from you or because all of your child's friends are going there."
Features like hardwood spring floors help dancers avoid injuries while they're jumping, and studios that offer classes like Pilates are interested in building strength and developing muscles in their students in addition to helping them become great dancers.
Additional information
Dance Fever—offers lessons to children starting at age four through adults. They have five large ballrooms where classes run from 8 a.m.-10 p.m. Those just getting started may decide to take two one-hour classes a week, while others may come every day in preparation for competition. Visit their website at www.dance-fever-studio.com or call 617-969-0874.
Dance Explosion—offers lessons to children three years old through high school. Classes include ballet, tap, jazz and hip-hop, and students can choose to participate on a competition team, or simply as a recreational student. Learn more at www.dance-explosion.com or call 781.251.6662.
Peanut Butter & Jelly Dance Company—offers lessons to children ages 3-9, while children ages 7-9 have an additional option of being in the children's performance company.

text: echeng 0 Posted July 24, 2009 I've just posted Howard Hall's review of the Gates DEEP RED housing for the RED ONE camera: On July 19, 2009 I disembarked the Nautilus Explorer after spending two weeks diving in Southeast Alaska. This was my first experience using my RED ONE camera in the new DEEP RED underwater housing. A couple years ago, John Ellerbrock (owner of Gates Underwater) approached me with the idea of collaborating on the design for DEEP RED. He asked what specifications I thought would make the best possible professional system. I gave him the following criteria: The housing should be built in three sections: A front port (both dome and flat ports should be available) including a lens-specific port extender, a center section where the camera is mounted and where most controls including all cables are attached thus eliminating constantly flexing and interfacing connections when opening and closing the housing. This is then covered by a rear bell. I asked that controls for run-switch, zoom, aperture, and focus be fingertip accessible without releasing either handle on the housing. I wanted to access all the menus allowing the same flexibility as a surface user. I felt the camera housing should take an extremely wide variety of lenses from digital still camera lenses to Ultra Primes. I suggested the housing should be able to withstand a depth of 450 feet. Finally, I wanted the housing to be as compact and light as possible. My coming up with these specifications, although derived from a lengthy career of designing and using professional underwater motion picture housings, was the easy part. Implementing the design would require a bit of genius. Full review here: http://wetpixel.com/i.php/full/howard-hall...rwater-housing/ I'm working on getting full-resolution TIF screen grabs.

SizeBy Leanne Shapton
I am the first one in Stockholm's Centralbadet this Monday morning, followed by James, then by an old man wearing big yellow goggles, who does a steady breaststroke around the perimeter of the pool. Watching him, I switch to breaststroke myself and match his speed. It feels comfortable. It feels relaxing. As the three of us swim counterclockwise, I channel my old age, my flabby form, my unself-conscious senior. I think of the two older women I passed in the locker room, whose modest black tanks encased humps and bones and bumpy flesh. The cruel phrase a friend once used to describe a woman's backside: "a bagful of doorknobs." I watch my hands trace their double ellipse in front of me, my mother's wrists, my grandmother's knuckles.

|Fuji Xerox
1. How many times can I refill toner into a cartridge?
Varies according to condition and type of cartridge - some cartridges would tolerate up to 2 or 3 refills. However, customers should expect manufacturing variations within certain models. Most times, OEM cartridges would have higher number of refills than remanufactured cartridges.
2. Will using a remanufactured toner cartridge void my printer's warranty?
Yes, doing so would void customers of their printers' warranties - according to all printer manufacturers, using a remanufactured toner cartridge will affect coverage under the printer's warranty.
3. Do refilled and compatible cartridges last as long as the originals?
Yes - the yield of a toner cartridge is dictated by the amount of printing on a page and the printer settings.
4. Is refilling toner into cartridge harmful to the printer or copier?
Yes, if not refilled with care or using the right kits and components – customers often seek the cheapest toner powder and kit to refill toner cartridges. This approach positions them in being exposed to the risk of obtaining low quality toner powder that is harmful to printers and copiers.
5. What is the shelf life of toner powder?
1 – 2 years – if kept in a controlled environment and sealed in packaging, toner powder has a shelf life of 1-2 years.
6. Can I use Jadi's toner powder in printers/copiers that are not recommended in Jadi's product list?
No guarantee for non-recommended models - as a manufacturer, Jadi's toner powder is developed and tested through rigorous processes to ensure that the print quality is equivalent to OEM's standard.
7. Are new compatibles the same as re-manufactured (recycled) cartridges?
No - a new compatible is a cartridge that is made from brand new parts (to mimic the original parts) to replace damaged or defected original parts. While for a re-manufactured cartridge, it is made from a combination of new and recycled components.
8. Why is my page yield lower than the OEM standard in the product's page?
Page yield is commonly rated with the assumption that customers such as yourself would consume the toner cartridges with standard printout of ISO standard (5% page coverage) - manufacturers estimate that a page of text (no photos or graphics) will use toner on approximately 5% of the paper (100% coverage would signify that the page is completely covered with toner).
9. Why does my printout has defects?
Please thoroughly check condition of all components of the cartridge and refill toner powder according to industry standards - although the toner powder remains to be a vital part of the printing process, the steps taken to refill the toner powder or condition of the cartridge can lower the printout quality.
10. How can I tell if my toner is defective?
Run a thorough check on the cartridge and other components - whether you buy OEM, remanufactured or compatible cartridges, there is a chance that you will receive a defective cartridge. While some cartridges are clearly defective (arriving with broken parts or leaking), other defects in printing could be more discreet.
11. Why is my bottle / foil bag not completely filled with toner?
To prevent the bursting of product packaging due to external forces – during shipment of products, Jadi is unable to fully guarantee that forwarding / courier companies would not mishandle the goods. Therefore, to prevent external forces from easily causing the bursting of the packaging, air space is accommodated to absorb possible dent or damages.

Allah, Who creates the life of this world as a place of trial for His servants, bestows infinite blessings to them. Every need or anything he may like is prepared for him even before he is created. Allah created the clean air, birds that fly in the sky, plants of infinite beauty and variety, enormously beautiful flowers, unique blessings, beloved ones, cute living beings, the flawless system in the world and many other details for man alone.
When a person comes into this world he finds every need ready for himself. He is surrounded with great comfort. Everything is compatible with his own dimensions and life conditions. Vegetables, fruit and food of every kind make his body work properly and meet his needs.
Man makes almost no effort to obtain these blessings. He simply leads his life in a perfect environment. Our Lord creates all these blessings for him:
This aside, through His messengers, Allah also revealed a Book to guide us in this life of this world. This Book contains all sorts of knowledge a person may need throughout his life. This fact is related in the Qur'an as follows:
"...We have not omitted anything from the Book..." (Surah Al-An'am, 38)
Allah revealed us a Book full of wisdom to us from which we learn the kind of morality and deeds deserving Allah's good pleasure:
"This is a Book We have sent down to you so that you can bring mankind from the darkness to the light, by the permission of their Lord, to the Path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy.." (Surah Ibrahim, 1)
What befalls a person who is surrounded with blessings equipped with all those tiny details is to live by the morality which is in compliance with the commandments of Allah related in the Qur'an. He is expected to lead his life as a servant who turns to Allah alone and to shape his life in compliance with our Lord's pleasure.
Allah is also the sole protector and helper of a person who knows that Allah is his only friend and who seeks refuge in His mercy and trusts in His superior intelligence and compassion. A person who knows that everything Allah creates is a manifestation of a superior mind and that there is goodness in them trusts only in our Lord and seeks refuge only in Him. Consequently one of the fundamental attributes of a person of faith is in this life of trial is to put trust in Allah. Putting trust in Allah is to take Allah as a sole friend while engaging in any deed. For a Muslim, it is a requisite of faith to experience the feeling of security that stems from putting trust in Allah since he is aware that it is Allah Who creates every incident throughout his life.
Other than Allah Who continuously creates goodness with His infinitely beautiful morality, there is no one a person can take as a friend. Consequently a Muslim who lives by the morality of the Qur'an only puts his trust in our Lord throughout his life. This is related in the Qur'an thus:
"And put your trust in Allah. Allah suffices as a Guardian." (Surah al-Ahzab, 3)

Fans of HBO's "The Wire" know that Idris Elba's character Stringer Bell was one of the most fully-formed criminals to ever knock off a college textbook.
Elba is one of the few "Wire" alums to continue to flourish even after his "Wire" demise -- in parts ranging from the big boss in "The Office" to the gun-toting traitor in "The Losers." But the English-born thespian still hasn't completely spread his wings since leaving Baltimore's tough streets.
Hopefully that will change soon. BBC/BBC America announced yesterday that it has placed Elba back on the other side of the badge in "Luther" a six part psychological thriller to air later this year. Elba plays John Luther, an intellectually brilliant but emotionally impulsive murder detective. It'll be fascinating to see an actor who has always kept his stuff intact start to lose it. But that seems to be the BBC plan.
Meanwhile EW.com reports that Elba will join the cast of Showtime's "The Big C" this summer -- as a lover not a fighter. He'll join the cast as cancer-stricken Laura Linney's lover. This will be further complicated by the fact that she is very married. Has this man lost his code?
It doesn't matter. Elba will appear in four episodes ending Aug. 16. We can't wait.

Producers BOT (formerly of the world famous Crookers) and TAI join forces on the newly released Nuthin But Fire EP, available now on Dim Mak Records.
Combining BOT and TAI, two producers from starkly different backgrounds and genres, could be risky. Instead, the result of this sort of collaboration evolves beautifully with the release of the Nuthin But Fire EP, four tracks of teamwork genius. Totally unique and impossible to categorize, the Nuthin But Fire EP stands heads above the rest with its blend of jungle and '90s breakbeat sounds. In the presence of two producers who truly understand what it means to make groundbreaking music, Nuthin But Fire blazes through the speakers and provides a sound that is unforgettable.

Jesus Christ was Not Simply a Moral Teacher
- 2014 22 Oct
Did Jesus Claim to Be God?
"I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever!"—Revelation 1:17-18
When Jesus came to Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples the mother of all questions, "Who do you say I am?" (Matthew 16:15; Mark 8:29; Luke 9:20). Mormons answer this question by saying that Jesus is the spirit brother of Lucifer; Jehovah's Witnesses answer by saying that Jesus is the archangel Michael; New Agers say Jesus is an avatar or enlightened messenger. Jesus, however, answered by claiming that He was God.
First, Jesus claimed to be the unique Son of God. As a result, the Jewish leaders tried to kill Him because in "calling God his own Father, [Jesus was] making himself equal with God" (John 5:18 NIV). In John 8:58 Jesus went so far as to use the very words by which God revealed Himself to Moses from the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). To the Jews this was the epitome of blasphemy, for they knew that in doing so Jesus was clearly claiming to be God. On yet another occasion, Jesus explicitly told the Jews: "'I and the Father are one.' Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, 'I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?' 'We are not stoning you for any of these,' replied the Jews, 'but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God'" (John 10:30-33).
Furthermore, Jesus made an unmistakable claim to deity before the Chief Priests and the whole Sanhedrin. Caiaphas the High Priest asked him: "'Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?' 'I am,' said Jesus. 'And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven'" (Mark 14:61-62 NIV). A biblically illiterate person might well have missed the import of Jesus' words. Caiaphas and the Council, however, did not. They knew that in saying he was "the Son of Man" who would come "on the clouds of heaven" he was making an overt reference to the Son of Man in Daniel's prophecy (Daniel 7:13-14). In doing so, He was not only claiming to be the preexistent Sovereign of the Universe but also prophesying that He would vindicate His claim by judging the very court that was now condemning Him. Moreover, by combining Daniel's prophecy with David's proclamation in Psalm 110, Jesus was claiming that He would sit upon the throne of Israel's God and share God's very glory. To students of the Old Testament this was the height of "blasphemy," thus "they all condemned him as worthy of death" (Mark 14:64-65).
Finally, Jesus claimed to possess the very attributes of God. For example, He claimed omniscience by telling Peter, "This very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times" (Matthew 26:34); declared omnipotence by not only resurrecting Lazarus (John 11:43) but by raising Himself from the dead (see John 2:19); and professed omnipresence by promising He would be with His disciples "to the very end of the age" (Matthew 28:20). Not only so, but Jesus said to the paralytic in Luke 5:20, "Friend, your sins are forgiven". In doing so, He claimed a prerogative reserved for God alone. In addition, when Thomas worshiped Jesus saying "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:28), Jesus responded with commendation rather than condemnation.
What Credentials Back Up Jesus' Claim to Deity?
"When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples to ask him, 'Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?' Jesus replied, 'Go back and report to John what you hear and see; The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.'" - Matthew 11:2-5
Jesus not only claimed to be God but also provided many convincing proofs that he indeed was divine.
First, Jesus demonstrated that he was God in human flesh by manifesting the credential of sinlessness. While the Qur'an exhorts Muhammad to seek forgiveness for his sins, the Bible exonerates Messiah saying Jesus "had no sin" (2 Corinthians 5:21). And this is not a singular statement. John declares, "and in him is no sin" (1 John 3:5), and Peter says Jesus "committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth" (1 Peter 2:22). Jesus himself went so far as to challenge his antagonists asking, "Can any of you prove me guilty of sin?" (John 8:46)
Furthermore, Jesus demonstrated supernatural authority over sickness, the forces of nature, fallen angels, and even death itself. Matthew 4 records that Jesus went throughout Galilee teaching, preaching "and healing every disease and sickness among the people" (v.23). Mark 4 documents Jesus rebuking the wind and the waves saying, "Quiet! Be still!" (v.39). In Luke 4 Jesus encounters a man possessed by an evil spirit and commands the demon to "Come out of him!" (v.35). And in John 4, Jesus tells a royal official whose son was close to death, "Your son will live" (v.50). In fact, the four Gospels record how Jesus demonstrated ultimate power over death through the immutable fact of his resurrection.
Finally, the credentials of Christ's deity are seen in the lives of countless men, women, and children. Each day, people of every tongue and tribe and nation experience the resurrected Christ by repenting of their sins and receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior of their lives. Thus, they not only come to know about Christ evidentially, but experientially Christ becomes more real to them than the very flesh upon their bones.

Reaching millions weekly through his live call-in radio broadcast, Hank answers questions about Christianity and religion on the basis of the Bible, careful research, and sound reasoning. Additionally, Hank regularly brings to his listening audience live interviews with Evangelicalism's most significant leaders, apologists, and thinkers.
Hank came to faith in Jesus Christ after examining the scientific evidence for creation, the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus, and the cumulative case for the divine inspiration of Scripture. With an uncommon intensity he immediately embarked on a rigorous course of Scripture study and memorization, and by the Lord's grace and calling his heart ever since has been to equip others to know God in Christ.
With the release of his new book, The Last Disciple, a novel co-authored with Sigmund Brouwer, Hank reveals significant aspects of his highly anticipated 15-year study of the Bible's teaching on the end times. In a spellbinding story of faith and fulfillment of prophecy, Hank and Sigmund initiate a series of novels in which they explore the lives of Christians who struggle to survive and spread the gospel during the climactic turbulence of "the last days." Readers discover the "code" of Revelation as they begin to see it through the eyes of the persecuted believers to whom it was written.
Hank lives in North Carolina with his wife, Kathy and is the father of nine children.
