D-A-D - Monster Philosophy
2010-02-20 04:08:23
cd review
View Comment Details
Overmuch better later than never never!
A significant percentage of the danish critics had decided that the 2008 album
Monster Philosophy
created by one of Denmark's finest rock'n'roll bands ever, was...well, a half-baked turd. I foolishly believed them, and it will never happen again.
I met Jesper Binzer (lead singer) outside Parken in Copenhagen before the AC/DC 2009 gig and he turned out to be just as friendly as I had expected. Why be a self-loving jerk just because you are in a rockband? Jesper is nothing like that.
I went to the Wacken Open Air 2009 festival and D-A-D fired up a fantastic show even if the wind tried to blow them away. I even bought the show afterwards as a MP3 recording. By then they had already proven the critics wrong. The new songs in the setlist were excellent and the band had never sounded better (and I'd seen them many many times in the past.)
As a bonus I have to add that Jesper's rather challenged attempt at speaking german is so hilarious that I kill myself everytime I listen to them MP3s. :-D
Next step was the release of the retro-spective D-A-D collection that spans thru their entire career. It is a freakin' awesome box. In it was obviously their latest cd:
Monster Philosophy
and I was blown away by 50% how cool it is and 50% fuck you liars/critics.
This is in my opinion one of the best D.A.D albums ever. It will face
No Fuel Left For The Pilgrims
Riskin' It All
without a single problem. A critically aclaimed album like
Everything Glows
doesn't even come close. The melodies are great, the singing from Jesper is perfect, the guitar from Jacob is outstanding (and the guitar sound is so fucking awesome that you simply can't believe it), it makes you go nuts just listening to it. Stig and Laust fill the rhythm department more than brilliantly. What more can you ask for? Nothing really. A few dead critics on stakes perhaps?
Best song on the album?
Money Always Takes The Place Of Life
. Starts off at a low level and rather quiet, but propels itself into one of the best D-A-D tracks ever. It is simply awesome!
I even relived my Wacken live experience as they played a gig at Ballerup "Industrial Waste" Arena that I attended. You can say a lot of things about Ballerup Arena, but D-A-D gave a fuck about it. It was fantastic and I don't think that anybody left - after
It's After Dark
had faded out - without a huge smile. Disneyland isn't closed at all. Disneyland is open and it lives in Copenhagen!
I'm sorry for ever having based anything upon the opinions of them f***s. I know a true band/musician when I hear and see one and I know a great album when it smacks me in the face!
See you guys next time! Cow skulls rock! Respect!

Thursday, July 31, 2008
Let me preface this by saying that I HATE going to the doctor here. For one, even when you have an appointment, you always have to wait an ungodly amount of time in the waiting room. Then, when you get into the doc's office, it's usually, well, an OFFICE with a desk and whatnot and he usually says, "Take off your clothes" right then and there... No little private room, no little paper robe, nothin', just get nekked. And yeah, I KNOW he's gonna see all my parts eventually, but there's just something dehumanizing about derobing in front of someone with little or no foreplay on a medical level like that, you know?
So, we go (yeah, that's right, I took my husband and three kids to the doctor with me and I feigned linguistic resons, okay?) and we sit in the waiting room which has NO air conditioning, of course, and has one tiny oscillating fan, but the windows are closed and everyone one in the waiting room is melting in their chairs. We sit there for an ungodly amount of time, during which Laurel decides she wants a boob and though I've been told that "In France, you can't just do it anywhere you want" (oh REALLY? but you can make out and almost have SEX in the park in front of my kids? You can unzip and piss wherever you want on any building or light post you want right in front of my kids while we're eating outside at a restaurant? but I can't discreetly give my kid a boob? Insert eyeroll here.). So, I'm giving her a boob and a doctor walks in, says a name looking directly at me and says, "So, is the soup good?" Meaning is my child's dinner good. I'm not sure if he's being funny or if he's trying to ridicule me into feeling guilty for my "indiscretion" or what, so I fight the impulse to say, "Looks like it," and instead just stare back at him. Whatevah. Later, Sam told me that the guy was an OB, so let's just hope he was being funny. Yeah, that's how we're gonna take it.
So, the doc comes into the waiting room and calls me. My boob is still in the baby's mouth. *sigh* I put things away and get ready to go back, but he says, "Maybe your husband and children would like to stay here?" I send Sam a pleading look, but he says, "Go ahead." I sent "you traitor" darts at him with my eyes, but sighed and went with the doctor, steeling myself to undress with no ceremony whatsoever.
But we get into his office and he has me sit down. He asks me all kinds of questions. One of them was, "How long have you been in France?"
"About three weeks," I say.
He drops his pen. "So, how is it that you speak French natively?"
I can't help it. Call it ego. Call it the ONE thing I have to be proud of that I EARNED with my own blood, sweat and tears (and I mean that LITERALLY) but I LOOOOOVE that reaction.
"Oh, well, I used to live here... I've been out of the country about seven years."
"Hmm. Obviously it's like riding a bike, huh?"
I smile.
He asks a few more questions, like why I'm there and about marathons and stuff. He asks if I plan to nurse my baby for much longer, "Because, you KNOW, nursing will make you tired..." Um, dude, listen, I have three kids, if you think you're sending me some kind of medical news flash.... shhhhh, Joelie, don't get all huffy.
Then, he does something that surprises the hell out of me. He tells me to go into the little exam room (well, it's sort of an exam ALCOVE with a teensy wall half-separating it from his office) and get undressed down to my bra and underwear. I had to scoop my jaw up off the floor. Huh? You mean PRIVACY? Cool! So, I did as he asked and then sat timidly in a chair waiting--that was nearly as embarassing as undressing in front of him, just sitting there in my skivvies, tee hee hee *snort*. He came in, weighed me (which was convenient because I needed to weigh in for Biggest Loser),asked me to lie down, poked, prodded and did all the reflex stuff. I figured it was just a formality. I've lost forty pounds since January (okay 42, but I've put two back on since I've been here) and up untill three weeks ago spent two to three hours a day exercising at the Y. I'm thinking he's just gonna say, "Yep, you're healthy. Good luck!"
But he doesn't. He keeps moving his stethoscope around. I'm trying to relax, but I really thought this was going to be like getting my oil changed.
"You have a murmur. Did you know that?"
A murmur. A murmur.... Hmmmm... Yeah, okay, so last spring, I had strep (thank again Anne for watching the kids when I thought I was about to DIE) and went to the doc and she said something about a murmur, but I've had at least one EKG since then and no one said anything further. But instead, I lie and say, "No."
He steths some more. "Yes, you have a murmur." Steths some more. He asks me to sit up and then does it again.
"So, what does this mean?" I say, praying he's going to say that it's nothing.
"It means I can't give you your certificate."
My heart drops into my stomach... But what about the half? What about the HOUSTON FULL???????
"...UNTIL you go to a cardiologist and he gives you the thumbs up."
Shew. Big brow-wiper there.
So, in the end, he reminds me that I'm overweight and that, though he can't give me my certificate until I see the cardiologist, I should in no way change my training habits as long as I'm not having any symptoms--very good news there--congratulates me on my weight loss, gives his own thumbs up to Weight Watchers (he says, "Oh yeah, that one is very good... very well equilibrated" I don't know how else to translate that) and tells me to come back after the EKG. He also tells me that I had better not dally. Everyone (no, seriously, EVERYONE) goes on vacation for the entire month of August and if I want to get this done in time for the half, I had better get a move on--and it may already be too late... I may be trying to get all this done in a quickie fashion in early September. Then, he shakes my hand, tells me good luck. I tell him that I'll send Sam in to pay.
That's it.
So, no undressing in front of him. But compared to a murmur that kept me from quickly getting my certificate... well, I'd rather have just stripped down, honestly.
Cross your fingers for me.
In other news....
Looks like it's going to cost an arm and a leg after all to get the AC fixed in the van. I know, I know, it ain't green. And I completely agree with you. BUT, it ain't humane to watch my children dehydrate in the back of that van. As much as I wish that keeping the windows open would keep them cool, it doesn't (unless we're on the freeway, but then, we're going 90mph and there's so much wind that they look like they've been riding a motorcycle by the time we get where we're going). So, we're gonna hafta dip into the farm fund and pay for air conditioning. Plus, my sister in law (who is selling us the minivan) is gonna tell us this evening how much they want for the van. Eeek! Cross those fingers extra tight on that one. Our whole point in buying from them was to save money... Let's hope that happens. By now, we already bought insurance on the van, so, it's too late to back out. *shrug*
Stay tuned...

Holy cow! At least it's always interesting. I remember when I went to the doctor in France and when she told me to undress and I was looking around frantically for a dressing area...I told her how we do it in the US and she was all "that's a bit puritanical" and I'm like, I didn't ask for a friggin social commentary. Just check out my parts...sheesh.

Something like that happened to me too. I was told by a doctor that I had a slight heart murmur but that it was nothing to worry about. So, then I went to a dentist and had to fill out the medical information. Not thinking it would matter, I checked the little box next to "heart murmur" on the form (silly me). They wouldn't even clean my teeth because they said that plaque/bacteria may make it into my heart because of the murmur and that I had to get a consent form from my doctor saying it was ok. BACK to the doctor... who signed a form saying I was perfectly fine for teeth cleaning and whatever else. It was a huge pain in the arse for nothing. I imagine you'll hear the same news from the cardio guy. And thanks for teh reminder about BL... I almost forgot to submit my weight. Miss you much! (is2laugh)

We set the alarm for 5:30 but didn't leave camp until 8:15. The idea was to get the big 3000ft climb out of the way early in the morning to avoid the heat, especially as it was supposed to be over 100 degrees today, and get in a 25 mile day. But we were lulled into a false sense of security by the early morning clouds and we thought it was going to be the same as yesterday.
I set of first as Cool Breeze was doing his morning faffing and he will catch me up anyway. I had been walking for 3 hours before he caught me, I was listening to the podcast Serial on the way up – podcasts it turns out are great because they take your mind off what you're doing and you seem to go faster. By the time he caught me it was getting really hot. The sun had burnt off all the cloud and it was so humid. We stopped and had a snack and a nap and we ended up being there for 3 hours.
We fell asleep for a bit in the shade and ended up in full sun, hot and sweaty and dehydrated. We still had 1000ft left of the climb. We carried on 2.5 miles to the spring and tanked up on water. 3 other people came by. By the time we had left the water source it was 4:30. 10 miles in 8 hours! The day was not quite going to plan! So we decided to try and do 8 more miles to a camp site as the terrain was fairly even. The clouds had started to form and we were granted a bit of a reprieve from the heat although it was still really humid.
We got to the camp site at 7, ate dinner – don't leave your tortilla packet on your hot sweaty leg because you get a tortilla packet transfer tattoo that won't come off!
The clouds were gathering in the distance and it looks like there is a storm approaching.
18 miles today. We'll try harder tomorrow…
If you liked that, then you might like this...
844 million people globally don't have access to clean water. That's 1 in 9 people. In 2018 this is not ok.
I fundraise for Just a Drop in the hope that if I walk thousands of miles for clean water then the people who need to won't have to. Find out more

About the project (in English) (in Bahasa)
We will address the question of how the household environment and host genetics shape the course of helminth/malaria co-infections. We will build into the program a secondary question of how the genetic makeup, environmental exposure and parasitic infections affect inflammatory disorders such as allergic diseases. It is important to realise that Indonesia is a country in transition from one with high burden of infection and traditional lifestyle to one where infectious diseases will be controlled and modern lifestyle will take over bringing along an increase in inflammatory diseases such as allergies and autoimmune diseases. We are therefore keen to build a network program that addresses specific questions on infectious diseases of importance now and inflammatory diseases that are expected to become important in the future, with the view to finding intervention strategies.
Flores Island
A Collaborative network of 3 Universities in the Netherlands and 2 Universities in Indonesia will bring together experts who will set up multidisciplinary field studies in Flores Island, where semi urban village Nangapanda and rural area of Anaranda will form the bases for epidemiological surveys. These areas are endemic for malarial parasites and helminth infections and provide the unique opportunity of studying the interaction between these infections within distinct environmental contexts in terms of a rural to urban gradient. The Geographical Positioning and Information System (GPS/GIS) will form an integral part of the data collection allowing entry of spatial, demographic, environmental and clinical data. This will allow the generation of maps as part of the multivariate analysis of data to reveal trends, dependencies and inter relationships that otherwise remain hidden in tabular data. The epidemiological surveys will be linked to basic studies in immunology, biochemistry and genetics to understand the molecular mechanisms behind interactions found at the epidemiological level. To this end, immunological micro assays that have been developed for population studies will be applied to gain insight into the innate and adaptive immune system while detailed genomic/proteomic studies of T cell subsets and antigen presenting cells will be performed in subsets of the study population. Indoor environmental samples collected from representative houses will be assessed for their content of carbon pollutants and microbial products using (bio)chemical assays. In vitro models will be set up to verify the specific interactions between immune cells and the environmental factors and to understand the mechanisms downstream of these interactions. For genetic studies, samples will be collected and polymorphisms analysed in family based studies as well as case control designs. Candidate genes involved in control of infections, allergies, pro and anti inflammatory immune responses will be targeted.
The data generated will be analysed within the following conceptual framework to determine multiple relationships among several related and unrelated variables:
Developing countries need to incorporate science, technology and innovation into their economy. It is the mandate of SPIN program to facilitate this process and the current proposal has been developed as a result of equal partnership between Indonesian and Dutch scientists who propose to carry out joint projects of highest scientific quality in the area of health. By generating a pool of young scientists with complementary skills that follow 9 PhD tracks, the program will build capacity for the future.

U.S. Border Patrol Agents Seize $2.4M of Narcotics by Land and Sea
San Diego - Law enforcement officials intercepted three smuggling attempts over the last week in San Diego and Ventura Counties. Agents arrested 22 suspects and confiscated $2,404,185 in marijuana and methamphetamine.
Tuesday at approximately 12:30 a.m., California National Guardsmen working in support of Customs and Border Protection alerted Border Patrol agents assigned to coastal enforcement duties of a panga landing near Deer Creek beach in Ventura County. Border Patrol agents responded to the scene and, through the collaborative efforts of several agencies including the U.S. Coast Guard, California National Guard, California State Parks and the Ventura County Sheriff's Department, arrested 20 suspected smugglers and confiscated 4,087 pounds of marijuana worth an estimated $2,048,095. The 20 suspects, narcotics, and boat were turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations (ICE HSI) for further investigation.
On Monday, at about 11:30 a.m., agents assigned to the Interstate 5 Border Patrol checkpoint encountered a 22-year-old male United States citizen driving a silver 2000 Mazda 626 and his 21-year-old male United States citizen passenger. Agents became suspicious of the men's demeanor and referred them for a secondary inspection. A Border Patrol K-9 performed a cursory inspection of the vehicle resulting in an alert. Agents searched the vehicle and discovered four bundles of methamphetamine inside the trunk in plastic grocery bags. The methamphetamine weighed 12.02 pounds and had an estimated street value of $240,400. The suspected smugglers and narcotics were taken into custody and turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration for further investigation. The vehicle was seized by the U.S. Border Patrol.
On June 8, at approximately 9:10 a.m., a Border Patrol K-9 team patrolling near the I-5 checkpoint stopped in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant. As the agent exited the vehicle, his K-9 alerted to the trunk of a nearby silver 2011 Toyota Camry. A subsequent search of the trunk revealed nine bundles of marijuana. The bundles weighed 231.28 pounds and had an estimated street value of $115,690. The marijuana and vehicle were taken into custody and turned over to ICE HSI for further investigation.
If you have information about maritime smuggling or suspicious activity along the coast of Southern California, please contact the Sector San Diego U.S. Coast Guard Joint Harbor Operations Center at (800) 854-9834.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.

ExhibitionPosted: December 17, 2010 Filed under: Talks and Exhibitions Leave a comment
On Wednesday when in London for my intern interview I took time out to visit this exhibition at the Barbican. Showcasing the beautiful and bizarre world of Japanese fashion with collections from designers such as; Issey Miyake, Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto and was curated by Japanese Akiko Fukai, Director of the Kyoto Costume Institute. Most inspiring exhibition I have been to all year.
Nadav KanderPosted: November 12, 2010 Filed under: Talks and Exhibitions Leave a comment
Went to a talk to the Nadav Kander talk at Grande Parade held by photoworks. He began by discussing the work he did for the New York Times titled 'Obama's People' (2008) in which he was invited to do portraits of all of Obama's incoming administration.
Pictured above is the image of the youngest member of the team; Eugene Kang who will be Special Assistant to the President. He was photographed with his little black book becuase this was filled with the numbers he had to call to contact people for the president. He wanted the images to be timelesss so to not date, he told each person to bring along something that they liked or best represented them. I found it interesting how when photographing Hilary Clinton she was very aware of the camera and would not have her photograph taken without her smiling, the image he caught of her is an inbetween smile, an almost happiness to show how feelings for her position under Obama.
He then went on to discuss his latest work; Yangtze- The Long River. I really liked the images he produced by travelling to China over 5 trips each 2 and half weeks long. He did separate trips because he thought that after too long in your surroundings your becoming used to it and no longer take notice. I agree with this idea, because when I have been travelling myself I found the images I took at the beginning of being in a new surrounding are a lot better quality in terms of interest and difference to the western world. My favourite is the image of the two ghostly bridges with the sense of foreground and background and the quote Navav Kander got from the local 'Why destroy to develop'.
I was a little disspointed that he did not discuss any of his fashion photography or commercial work but was overall impressed with his approach to his work in the way that he does not always have a concept behind it before shooting, but usually discovers what it is after he has shot the work through feedback. I saw similarites with his practise to the way I work so I found it very motivating.

The Public Trust Environmental Legal Institute of Florida is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our mission is to protect and enhance the lands and waters in the public trust. While this is often accomplished through legal means, we determined that there was a need for a comprehensive guide to entice recreational paddlers to this beautiful segment of the Intracoastal Waterway. The result was this Paddling Guide made possible through a grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Coastal Management Program, and our supporting partners.
Many thanks go out to our Partners – The City of Atlantic Beach, The City of Jacksonville Beach, The City of Jacksonville, and Kayak Amelia. Without their support in the form of documents, equipment, knowledge and financial assistance, this project would not have been nearly so successful.
Thanks also go to the artist who created this masterpiece – Patti Cross with Tom Cross, Inc.
About the Guide
The guide consists of a map and narrative description of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) and associated waters from the St. Johns River south to the Duval County/St. Johns County line. We hope our guide and this website will encourage people to use and enjoy the natural resources of the area. The areas depicted on the map are accessible by both the experienced and novice paddler, and may be enjoyed for anywhere from an hour to a full day. The four parks highlighted in the guide can also be enjoyed on foot.
The map includes launch points, amenities available at the parks, and GPS coordinates for the trail, and random points along the Intracoastal Waterway. Some of the areas have strong currents and/or heavy boat traffic, so be careful! Watch the tides carefully, as some of the waterways leading to launch points become dry during low tides, and paddlers may become stranded until the tide comes in again. (See link to ICW tides on this website, and note these caution areas on map).

It Takes Two to Tangle
By Theresa Romain
Sourcebooks Casablanca
Sourcebooks Casablanca
Release Date:
September 3, 2013
September 3, 2013
Henry Middlebrook has returned from the Napoleonic War a changed man, externally and internally. The most obvious change is that he has lost the use of his right hand, a devastating loss to an artist. His attempts at painting with his left hand have been less than stellar, and his frustration at daily adding to the list of things he can no longer do gracefully such as present flowers to a lady or write a response to a letter is mounting daily. Worst of all, Henry no longer feels at ease in the society that he left behind when, over the objections of his older brother, the Earl of Tallant, he became a soldier three years ago.
His brother and sister-in-law are persuaded that a wife is just what Henry needs to ease his adjustment back into tonnish activities, and on this issue at least, Henry is in total agreement. When he meets Caroline, Countess of Stratton, a beauty who has taken England by storm since her own return to London after the death of her elderly husband, he decides she will be the perfect wife. Given the number of gentleman in Caroline's court, he enlists the help of her companion, Frances Whittier, a woman whose honesty presents a marked contrast to the mannered moves of most other guests.
Upon the urging of his sister in-law, Henry makes the acquaintance of Caroline, Lady Stratton, a widow and one of the most sought-after catches of the season. One look at Caroline and Henry knows that he needs Caroline: he needs her confidence, connections and, most especially, her popularity. Seeing the competition for Caroline's attention, Henry employs the assistance of Caroline's companion, Frances Whittier, a woman of wit and acumen in whose company he feels surprisingly at ease.
Frances Whittier, daughter of a baronet and six years a widow herself, has accustomed herself to blending into the background as companion to her cousin, the beautiful Caroline. The handsome Mr. Middlebrook wins her interest and her sympathy when they meet, and she agrees to aid him in his courtship of the popular Caroline. When Henry's first visit to Caroline ends awkwardly, she sends him an encouraging letter that he concludes was penned by Caroline. He asks for Frances's help in writing a response, and Frances, conscious that correcting his error would embarrass both of them, chooses not to correct his error. As the exchange of letters continues, complications ensue, Henry, whose focus on Caroline is fixed, is slow to realize that it is Frances who is his perfect match.
It Takes Two to Tangle is the first book in Romain's Matchmaker Trilogy. It is a promising start to the series. Henry's heroism, both in the late war and in his attempt to rebuild his life, evokes ready sympathy. I also found his relationship with his brother and sister-in-law interesting. Their affection and concern for him rang true, as did their inability to fully understand the changes that had taken place within him and their inability to ease his way back into the world. But it is Frances, the more complex character, who wins this reader's greater allegiance. Her intelligence, her ability to understand those around her, and the past that has shaped her make her an appealing, layered character.
She was always out of step. She had grown up in wealth but married a workingman. Now she served as a companion, yet she raised her eyes to the son of an earl. She did not know for which world she was better suited. At times, both lives chafed, as though she lived in a garment cut wrongly and fitted for another's body.
Romance readers who know Romain through her Christmas romances, Season for Temptation and Season for Surrender (with Season for Scandal scheduled to be released October 1) will find the same charm and blend of humor and darker elements in this book. If you haven't discovered Romain yet, this first book in a new series is an excellent way to remedy that omission. The second book in the Matchmakers series, To Charm a Naughty Countess, will be released in May 2014. Romain describes it as a marriage-in-trouble romance, one of my favorite tropes. I'm hooked already.
Correction: Ms. Romain tells me that Season for Scandal is the marriage in trouble story. To Charm a Naughty Countess is a take on Pygmalion with a virgin hero. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that sounds like a story I don't want to miss.
Matchmakers seem to be popular in historical and contemporary romance fiction. What's your favorite matchmaker romance?

I am looking for a laptop to have as a backup to my native system as well as being able to do some work on when I travel.
Most of my audio post projects are under 20 min. and about 10 tracks, but there is usually very intricate editing on a few of those tracks with many files referenced.
And on a mix I am usually using 8 - 10 or so plugins. Recording is not an issue it is all playback.
Does anyone have a suggestion of laptops to look at?
How are SSDs for the data files? Not sure how their speed compares. Any real reason to RAID SSDs?
Thanks for any help.

Updated 9 Jul 2013
Bottom line: This convertible rear/forward-facing seat features good safety as well as good ease of use and ergonomics.
Join today and get instant access to all test results and research.
(No obvious bad points.)
Safety includes front- and side-impact scores as well as scores for belt-routing and stability on the car seat.
Ease of use and ergonomics assesses child comfort and space as well as ease of securing and adjusting the seat within the vehicle, avoiding incorrect use, fastening the buckle, and using the instruction manual.
Harmful substances measures the level of substances (such as phthalates, heavy metals and flame retardants) on seat components that come in contact with the child. Harmful substances only affect the final score if the levels found exceed the test criteria.
Weight range shows the different weights the seat can carry in its different modes. The European standard takes 36kg as the maximum weight for a booster.
Price is the recommended retail price or is from an online retailer.
Convertible rear/forward-facing seats and forward-facing/booster seats can be used in different modes which offer different levels of impact protection. To simplify matters, we've given scores for each seat in its weakest mode.
The European tests are carried out by ICRT, the international consumer testing organisation. ICRT puts the seats through front- and side-impact tests at 71 and 28km/h respectively. The seats are also assessed for ease of use and ergonomics. Seat parts that come in contact with the child are screened for substances such as phthalates, heavy metals and flame retardants. The overall score is determined by safety as well as ease of use and ergonomics. The score for harmful substances only affects the overall score if a harmful substance is present above test limits. ICRT rates seats on a five point scale: "poor", "bare minimum", "satisfactory", "good" and "very good".
The Australian tests are performed by the Child Restraint Evaluation Program (CREP). The programme puts the seats through a front-impact test at 56km/h, and side- and oblique-impact tests at 32km/h. Each seat is also assessed for ease of correct use. The Australian test results are freely available on the CREP website. Child seats are rated on a five-point scale: "meets the Australian/New Zealand standard", "average", "above average", "good" and "excellent".
Suitable for children weighing 18kg when used in a rear-facing position; suitable for children weighing 9-18kg when used forward-facing.
The European test method

Easy to transfer from different vehicles, nice having my daughter sitting high in our SUV she has great visibility. My daughter will be 4 in August and still fits the seat comfortably although she is rather on the short side. Love the magnets that hold the straps out of the way when taking bubs out of the car seat. Fits perfectly in most of our vehicles and doesn't take up much room.
One major downside I feel in this car seat is when my daughter is asleep her head always tilts forward, there is a recline position on the seat but it's not enough.This problem has been since we purchased the seat when she was very young.i have even tried to tie wide soft elastic around the head area and attached a cushion to it so that the cushion pushes her forehead back, but this has been unsuccessful.Because of this problem I would never recommend this seat.i purchased the seat from global baby and they were terrible to deal with they did not want to take the seat back.
Recommend it?
Maybe, it depends on what you're after.

Product use: 6 months or more
Our son will be 3 in November 2014 and he still comfortably sits rear facing even on long journeys.
It is easy to install and its great crash test results give us piece of mind. There is a lot of poor information out there, even from supposed experts on what is a safe seat. This seat still out classes many others in tests and is rear facing for longer than most.
It is a little heavy if you have to move it from car to car bt this is a small price to pay for the safety it offers.
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.

Wingshan Smith reflects on TEDx Courtauld Institute 2014, "Colouring Life"
Volunteering for TEDx Courtauld Institute was a great opportunity to shadow an awesome organisation. After so many hours of watching inspiring TED talks online I was quick to sign up, especially because we would get to know all about the nitty gritty of planning such a complex event.
Amongst setting up food and drink, folding the leaflets and learning how to use fancy phone apps to tick people off the list as they arrived, we were able to catch a few talks completely free of charge.
For me, the talk given by French travel writer Alexandre Poussin stood out. He described an adventure he took with his wife across Africa, exclusively on foot, without the aid of any maps, modern technology or local knowledge.
Later, when I was clearing up after the event, I managed to personally speak to Alexandre and left the day with a few words of wisdom… plus some leftover cheese, which tasted like heaven.
Wingshan (second from right) is a second year student at the Courtauld Institute of Art and editor of FRESH Magazine.

Finished reading a small one - 2001, a Space odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke. On the kindle. All this while, I have been spotting 3001, 2010, on bookshelves but somehow 2001, the first of this series was always unavailable. So when a friend shared this book, the soft copy, I started reading it and this one surely didn't fail to impress. Somehow, since I watched Avatar also during the same time (One real fun movie. Hats off to imagination, to the shoot - at one point, I stretched out my hand to touch the jungle foliage. What I liked most - screwed gravity, magnetic mountains or floating mountains). So, the point is, some of my 2001 is mixed with avatar in my mind. But what I liked most about the book - the way Clarke approaches the prehistoric era - the learning ignited by external forces, or rather the idea of engineered learning rather than human beings inspiring themselves to evolve. The real fun part is when you try to juxtapose the situation in today's times. What is the situation? - this really really old times ape -man who can just think of the immediate thing, food for the day, fearing the night, the wild...and nothing else. One fine day, the monolith arrives - and this ape man gets hypnotised/suggestive hypnostism by this monnolith which gives this being a new idea, a new desire for a healthy, safe life and literally was putting concepts in this ape-being's head. Even things like throwing a stone or eating meat to save himself - which the ape man couldn't even imagine he could do....freeze frame. Now, try to imagine all those things (out of the box) which you wouldn't even imagine you can do...difficult, but still try doing it. And then imagine you can do all those things. the potential, the power, the power of potential. Deeds cant dream what dreams can do. Time is a tree, this life one leaf. Mr EE Cummings, you were never more right.
So thats the beauty of these books and people like Arthur C Clarke. Content apart, even concepts like these act as a spark for the firepowder in your own head - and the extent of the imaginations is Beautiful. I really like such books. Douglas Adams, Clarke, Cameron, yes, Avatar is beautifully imaginative, its a fresh way of looking at things- you just have to be ready to believe anything and leave all the earth given prejudices, nay, civilization given prejudices behind.
All this - just for that sweet sense of wonder - and that overpowering sensation that one doesn't know who rules, who runs all this, one can't even imagine what lies beyond this small little planet of ours. Happy with our toys, occupied, living life as people ask us to do it, lost in this huge random web, made complicated by our own choice - and not even a second spent to justify all this! Not many people feel its wonderful, but that's ok, wonder and awe, like beauty, lie in the eyes of beholder.
What happens after 2001? Next book is 2010. I don't have it on my kindle. The one which I have is 3001. So - next visit to airport for the holidays, I buy it - and not read it. And meanwhile, given its holidays, more coffee and bookshop stuff - and i end up buying more stuff - latest ones are Herta Muller (land of green plums), Sylvia Plath (bell jar) and Ishiguro -remains of the day. So yes, all these about toys and life on this planet -me too away from my wonder stuff. You need the right setting :) Not sure whether I'll finish anything in 2009 - if I do, it should be one of the above...that reminds me, I have to do a book count for 2009. Don't have my notebook on me right now...those updates saved for later.
Looking forward to 2010 (the year, the book), and more reading. Happy New Year.

The two sisters accused of killing their father, a police warrant officer, and two other co-accused (who are also brothers), briefly appeared in the Vuwani Magistrate's Court on Friday (23 February).
The four are accused of the brutal murder of W/O Alugumi Nemugumoni at his home in Tshakhuma Village, near Thohoyandou on 19 February. He was stabbed as he entered his house last week.
They were identified as his daughter, Nyambeni Nemugumoni (26), the deceased's other daughter, Phophi (21), alleged assassin Khathutshelo Tshisudi (24) and his brother Calvin Tshisudi (19). The four appeared on charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
''The brothers are known to be notorious criminals and are likely to be connected to other crimes," said provincial police spokesperson Brig Motlafela Mojapelo.
After their brief appearance the four's case was postponed until this coming Friday (2 March), when they are expected to bring a formal bail application.
In the meantime, Mojapelo confirmed that police investigations into the matter are still being finalized.

Publisher's Description▼▲
Managing an acolyte program, like managing any volunteer program, requires knowledge, skill, the ability to plan, budget, write reports, and most importantly, the ability to train, motivate, and encourage people. The Acolyte Leader's Resource Guide provides everything someone new to managing an acolyte program needs to know, as well as tips that even the most experienced leaders will find useful. This manual will help any acolyte director manage an effective program and cut down the administrative duties to a reasonable size.
Beginning with a history of the acolyte ministry itself, Donna Barthle, an experienced acolyte leader, provides details on the duties of each acolyte position, followed by suggestions for dealing with training, scheduling, maintaining rosters, budgeting, writing reports for the vestry, and general supervision of acolytes and the program. Instructions for training acolytes for regular Sunday worship as well as festivals and special services, plus sample forms and letters to use in managing the program, make this an indispensable resource for acolyte leaders.

Last Friday night the whole family hung out in the kitchen and cooked together. There was loud music, and singing, little ones playing in dishwater bubbles and helping with the pasta machine. And in among it all we managed to throw together a double batch of focaccia dough and whack it in the fridge. The next morning I turned the oven on, punched out half the dough and set it to rise in the griller section of the stove. By the time the oven was 250 deg the dough was ready for oil and salt and before we knew it we were having hot steamy goodness for breakfast. And because it was so good, we did it all again come Sunday morning. And the best thing about it – the flour, the oil, the salt and the herbs all came from within 100 miles of home.
1/2 tsp caster sugar
2tsp dried yeast
1kg plain flour
2 tsp salt
Mix together well in an upright mixer using a dough hook.
When well combined and with the mixer on low add:
800ml blood temperature water and
2 tblsp olive oil
Transfer onto a lightly floured board and knead for about 8 minutes or until smooth. Rub the inside of a large bowl until all covered with olive oil and transfer dough into it. Cover with a large bee eco wrap or similar and leave in a warm drought free place until doubled in size ( approx 1-1.5hr) An alternative to this is you can pop it in the fridge overnight for 8 hours or so. If you plan on doing this alllow at least an hour for the dough to warm up in the morning out of the fridge before moving onto the next step.
Punch down the dough back to its original size and roll out to fit a pan approx 30cm x 40cm with sides of at least 3cm.
Lightly oil the pan and press dough in to fit to the sides.
Turn oven on to heat to 220 deg C and leave wrapped pan and dough nearby to rise again (between 1 and 2 hours).
Add herbs (thyme, rosemary and marjoram are good options), local salt if you have it, and a good dash of olive oil. Poke finger holes in the dough and pop in the oven.
You will be able to smell it when it is almost ready. The whole house will in fact! At this point just keep an eye on it to check if it needs rotating to even the browning (old ovens have a habit of having hot spots that need attending to 🙂 ).
Eat hot, with your fingers, with loved ones. There is not much better.

The Liberty philosophy
In the early 2000s George Kramer suffered a severe hardship. His house was destroyed. More importantly he had spent 12 years building that house with his father. It had all his belongings in it. All his company inventory and supplies. Other than his car and his family he lost everything that day.
What had caused the damage was a tree that came down in his back yard and leveled his structure. George's belongings may have been saved if someone had come quickly. It took 3 days to hear back from the insurance company and two weeks before and adjuster even came to offer support. George and his father were getting fined by the day for have a down tree in their community. The tree removal alone was in the thousands. Each day that passed made the hardship more and more costly.
The best the insurance company could do was settle for depreciated wood costs for the structure. George's dad was so desperate he attempted to settle only getting the insurance company to offer an additional $200. That was the best they could do. This wasn't even enough to remove the tree. Let alone demo and removal of the structure, debris, contents and construction. Feeling the pressure George's father agreed to settle and pay out of pocket for the remainder of the tree removal.
George begged his dad for one week. If he could get him a bigger settlement then could he get one week. It took less than that period of time for George to prove his case as to why they deserved more. After 2 and a half additional weeks of negotiating, George got his family and additional 690% more than their original offer. It wasn't enough to replace everything. But it was enough to rebuild the structure and help the family get back on their feet. George knew then the system was unfair and began his work for the insured. George knew people need defense and protection when life throws a curve ball. This is the same passion and the same drive that Liberty provides to you. The drive to protect and serve you.

1. dual-sim..
2. 2500 mah battery(has battery optimization)..
3. ics(you can tweak many things with this phone to optimize settings etc.)..
4. good camera without flash..
5. can play radio with speaker w/out connecting headset also can record but not that good as expected..
6. stand-by time is great.. it could last 2 days moderate use. or a day and a half for a heavy user.
7. micro sd card
1. build quality is fair enough
2. charger seems to fit china-phone rather than Lenovo's.. im using LG charger or htc charger instead
3. headset is not that good also
4. no camera flash
5. slytly heavy bcoz of the battery
i am sorry i havent experienced other dual sim droids but ill go with this phone..
Wow! Simply amazing. Personally I think this phone comes second only to the Razr Maxx. Just hope the GPU is a PowerVGR SGX540 or an Adreno 220.
i hope this device categorised in Xenium devices,which boasts REALLY HUGE battery life.
Anonymous, 12 Jul 2012Single core Android yea it's going to lagTroll ahoy!
FYI, it's not CPU that causes Android to lag (and I know lag very well, I own a SGS1). But it's the RAM that causes lags. The moment my phone hits 50MB of free RAM threshold it start lagging, so this phone will be really smooth with its enormous RAM and will last for a few days (maybe even up to a week with nice custom ROMs and kernels (if the bootloader will be unlocked that is)).
what is the point of having a slim phone with all the hi-fi features if the battery doesn't hold up even half a day. Like philips and motorola, the smart(phone) companies should come up like the droid versions - the slim droid(1780 mAh) and droid maxx (3300 mAh), allowing the user to select.

Which is my point, you do agree with me, and that is what i meant, the software - or the user experience - is the most important thing, if the software fast and smooth then the CPU or the hardware does not matter.
AnonD-10196, 12 Jul 2012Can't tell if trolling or simply clueless when it comes to technologyYowanvista is correct. Arm 11 is just ancient tech...trash ..pure trash by today's standards. Get over them symbian phones..nobody uses commodore today...ciocu mic.
what wow, 12 Jul 2012Philiphs make very good quality phones. I've had a philiphs savvy once :D very very sturdy :D ... moreI agree....jelly bean will b the best part of whole android ecosystem till date.....only if companies come out wid bigger batteries like dis phone,m sure android will start a massacre of windows or ios etc......

Anonymous, 12 Jul 2012I really don't understand, why would anyone care about cpu and cores? it all depends on the us... moreIt does matter else we'd all be using single core PCs which is obviously not the case. A multicore approach saves power and reduces the need to have single processors set at high clocks which would obviously waste power. Multicore processors have a higher efficiency rate (Like the Tegra3 with its 5th companion core). Single, Dual or Quad core will not matter if the software can take advantage cannot take advantage of such (Which was the case with previous versions of Android) but on the other side WP7.X is optimized a Single Core ARMv7 snapdragon SoC that that feature a processor clocked at 1.4Ghz and yet it is smoother than almost anything else, Nokia Symbian phones are literally put to shame when compared to such.
I really don't understand, why would anyone care about cpu and cores? it all depends on the using experience, it does not matter if the device have dual core or quad core if it provide poor experience, and i really don't care if the device have 200MHz cpu as long as the interface is smooth and fast.
Remember the megapixel craze from digital camera, more MP does not necessary means better picture, the same thing with cores and cpu, more power does not necessary mean better experience.
AnonD-10196, 12 Jul 2012Can't tell if trolling or simply clueless when it comes to technologyGet your facts clear dude, if you don't think that my words reflect the reality then simply obtain the information elsewhere. Whatever I said earlier makes sense & is perfectly valid. All current Nokia Symbian devices use the obsolete ARM11 Cores in contrast to anything newer (Android, iPhone & WP) that sport an ARMv7 Cortex-AX CPU.
And the 808 Pureview indeed shows a lot of lags & clutter in the Web Browser. Youtube videos/review shall enlighten your mind which seems to be that of a Fanboy
AnonD-30486, 12 Jul 2012Except that modern Smartphones use the ARMv7 architecture and the energy efficient Cortex A8+ ... moreCan't tell if trolling or simply clueless when it comes to technology
This isn't a high end device, and what is wrong with a single core CPU? If it get's the job done, then it gets the job done! This phone doesn't compete with SGS3 but rather with some offerings in it's price category. To me it looks solid.
I'm using a Lenovo P700 using the same chip as this Philips and half its RAM on ICS and it does not lag (unless you have so many opened apps). The 1GB RAM on this is a welcomed addition.
stylinred, 12 Jul 2012lol ICS on a single core 1ghz phone rofl... and people laugh at symbian an OS that isnt power ... moreExcept that modern Smartphones use the ARMv7 architecture and the energy efficient Cortex A8+ cores compared to your crappy Symbian devices which still rock ARM11 cores which are way too obsolete. Those ARM11 Cores are just like old P4s overclocked. They are in no way superior nor equivalent to the newer ARMv7. A proof of concept is the horrible Web Browsing Experience on the 808 Pureview.
Philiphs make very good quality phones. I've had a philiphs savvy once :D very very sturdy :D
And of course ICS runs on 1 core 1ghz cpu.
Loot at the 2011 Xperia phones...1 ghz 1 core all around except for Xperia S and Arc S.
Also with Jelly Bean i'm sure even 1 ghz will seem more than enough since it's extremely smooth do to Project butter.
web browsing of 10.5 hours...!!! is it possible no smartphone in android does that

A hijacked Ethiopian Airlines flight has been forced to land in Geneva. The suspect - the plane's co-pilot who was seeking asylum - has been arrested and the passengers were able to safely disembark the plane.
On Monday morning, authorities said they had arrested the man suspected of hijacking the flight, which originated in Addis Ababa and was headed to Rome before being diverted to Switzerland. Reports soon emerged that the plane's Ethiopian co-pilot had been the hijacker. He has since asked Swiss officials for asylum.
"He said he felt threatened in his country and wants to seek asylum in Switzerland," Geneva police spokesman Eric Grandjean told a press conference.
Grangean said the 31-year-old co-pilot - later identified as Hailemedhin Abera Tagegn - locked the door when the captain went to the bathroom. He then asked to refuel at Geneva and landed at the airport.
"He parked the plane on the taxiway, he cut the engines, then opened the cockpit window, threw out a rope, and used it to descend to the tarmac," Grandjean said. "He ran towards the police and immediately identified himself as the co-pilot and hijacker."
The co-pilot was unarmed and there was no risk to the passengers, Grangjean added. He is currently being questioned by police.
Greandjean said that, technically, the co-pilot can be charged with "hostage taking," and could face up to 20 years in prison.
Passengers unaware
Geneva airport chief executive Robert Deillon told reporters that the hijacking began over Italy, Switzerland's southern neighbor, and that two Italian fighter jets were scrambled the accompany the plane.
The co-pilot himself alerted authorities to the hijacking, but the plane's passengers were unaware it had been hijacked.
The aircraft, Ethiopian Airlines flight 702, landed in Geneva just past 6 a.m. local time (0500 UTC) after departing from the Ethiopian capital at 2130 Sunday UTC. It was parked at a far end of a runway and surrounded by police and other emergency vehicles. Police escorted the Boeing 767-300's 2002 passengers and crew from the aircraft into waiting vehicles one by one with their hands over their heads.
Geneva airport temporarily closed to other flights, but operations resumed around two hours after the plane landed.
"We hope everything will return to normal in the afternoon," Deillon said.
According to police, it was the first time a hijacked plane had been forced to land in Geneva since 1987, and the first time in Swiss history a co-pilot had hijacked an aircraft.

|Bill Sexton has told
stories to his History Class about what he has seen. One student
I had Mr. Sexton for History when I was in High School. He told us of his freeing people from the concentration camps. I can't remember which of the famous concentration camps they found so many people that were almost dead and of the graves where bodies were thrown on top of others and piled high. He told us that the people told of when they were in the concentration camps, the guards would tell them they were going to take a shower and were given a bar of soap, and a towel and instead of a shower, they turned on the gas and the thing that the prisoners relayed was that the people never came back from the "showers" as they were gased to death. He told the name of the camps but I can't remember them. There were many photographs that showed these camps. He said that it was so terrible that he was haunted by the sight and smell.

We took these photos this morning in the local common, I think it's going to become our little photo taking spot. It was funny weather today, one minute super hot sunshine the next all cloudy and looked as if it was about to tip it down. Luckily while were out walking Coco and then out to lunch with Dave's family we managed to avoid any rain.
I'm wearing this old jacket with my newish white dress, my new leather bag hat. Well there not all that new but I just haven't had time to show you. I got the dress on uniform and the bag as a treat to myself after my concussion. Then the hat was a present from my friend Allen. It's from New Look and I must say that I'm really impressed with there A/W collection, there's so many things I want to buy. I will slowly build up my collection over the next few pay days. The main thing I have my eye on is a dress with little dogs on it. It's super cute!

Sad news
One of my MoM friends lost her little boy tonight. He passed away unexpectantly at only 20 months of age. Little JW has the hearts of so many people. My heart aches for Tiffany and her family, please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. She has supported me through many of Jaxon's dark days, so please pray for them to find the strength to get through this unbelievable time. This is quite the reminder to hug your children and be thankful. (http://blakeybabies.blogspot.com/)

Let's not forget what is it all about
Posted by I'm the penguin | Posted in | Posted on Monday, October 25, 2010
" Finally, when we examine the normal science, we would like to describe this investigation like a tenacious and fervent attempt to force nature to enter into the conceptual frames provided by professional education"(T.S Khun 1962)
Should we see science as a cumulative compilation of knowledge that has grown through history? If so, wouldn't we be conceptualizing science as an entity build by history, with a sole destiny from the start? Would that be going against the very definition of science - ask, work and get rid of paradigms-?
In such case that we would only see past discoveries as myths believed by the undeveloped, we'd be discrediting observations and results that, in their time, were well structured science. Plus, by that same line of thought, we'd have to assume much of what we know today are still myths, for much more explanation to the universe and the entities that conform it is needed.
So, what's left?
Observing the periods of time in which some certain school of thought was believed in its own context, while intertwined with future investigation, stood on its own, as well made science. Only in that way could we learn properly about the history of science, and see it as an everlasting project that hasn't reached a limit or peak at this time.
Formal (normal) education insists on lecturing and describing this process as a cumulative sequence that has led to what we know today, when in reality science is not about an accumulation of knowledge, but a process of reasoning, asking questions and working to get reasonable answers, even if these defy established knowledge.
So, lately I've been reading T. S. Khun

1st 3D Movie Experience - The Last AirbenderWent to watch The Last Airbender earlier at GV-Bishan.. K insisted on watching it in 3D (thou' reviews are that it's not worth), so we booked tix for the 3D show! This is actually my FIRST TIME, yes, FIRST TIME in my adult-life, watching a 3D movie on the BIG screen!!! Was pretty excited thou'... =D
Okay, turns out, 3D show was reali not bad lor!! But too bad, this show doens't have much scenes with graphical effect and all that (like that of Avatar etc), so most of the time, it's just that you're seeing the people and things in a "larger & nearer to you" version.
Overall, this show is good.. And i'm sure there'll be the sequels coming out soon, hopefully not having to wait too long, like "Storm Riders" (approx. 10yrs)... LOL!!!
Okay, I will definitely go watch another 3D movie, but haven't really decide which is a more worthy one thou'... Any suggestions pls???

In the creative arts group of the 59th annual Primetime Emmy Awards from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, South Park's beloved "Make Love, Not Warcraft" episode won in the Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour) category. This episode of Comedy Central's animated series originally aired on October 4, 2006. The South Park creators collaborated with Blizzard Entertainment to craft machinima scenes using shots of in-game footage. "We were excited to hear that the creators of South Park were interested in featuring World of Warcraft in the opening of their new season, and we really enjoyed collaborating with them to make this happen," said Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment.
Well deserved a great episode of south park and showcases the positives and negatives of online gaming. Way better then the Simpson's spoof of online RPGs.
Also showed what good sports people at Blizzard are.
I couldn't stop but laughing my ass off while watching this episode.
I love the scene where cartman calls for his mother and then craps into a bin because he's too fat and too addicted to WoW to stand up. xD
This is a great episode. LMOA when I see Jimmy and Timmy in their avatars! My friends all wanted to see it, so I've probably seen it a half dozen times and it's still funny as hell.
Southpark rules over the Simpsons and especially Family Guy. I love being able to download the episodes from XBL. They look awesome upscaled to 1080P and Comedy Central seems to have no plans for HD on cable or sat any time soon.
Congrates. Great episode.
So clever and funny.
