YouTube is and easy choice when it comes to potential reach/viewer numbers. Actually profiting off of YouTube hits is another case entirely. Enter Vimeo On Demand. Simply put, any Vimeo PRO member (read: paid user) can opt to rent or sell their content and only have to fork over 10% of revenue generated from sales. Vimeo doesn't determine what price you should list your media at either. PRO members can sell entire films or shorter episodes and set their own price.
Your eager customers can hit up your channel or you can embed the content and sell it on your website as well. After your content has been paid for, customers can watch it virtually anywhere: Online, smartphones, tablets, and other streaming devices, most times in full HD quality, depending on your device.
Sure, it's probably easier to just throw some content on YouTube and let Google's algorithms do the rest while you cross your fingers and wait at the mailbox. Or you can check out Vimeo On Demand and have more control over your content and your purse strings.

Revision as of 20:17, 3 July 2012
Physically connecting the Arduino can be a challenge or fairly simple depending on the size of the vehicle. Skip to the section appropriate to your vehicle.
A Large vehicle
On a large vehicle, like the Interceptor, we will be using a full-size Arduino UNO, as well as a small breadboard.
Finding room
The first thing to do is analyze the vehicle and find where we can place both the Arduino and the breadboard without impeding the placement of the covering as we aim to replace this once the hack is completed. Looking at the Interceptor, a good place for the Arduino and breadboard seems to be here:
Attaching the Arduino
Now we need to investigate how to attach the components. The Arduino is above a hollow surface so it will need to stand off it by an inch or so. To do this, we will use standoffs. You can use any type you like. We used TETRIX standoffs as their screws fit the Arduino nicely.
WARNING! Adult supervision required when using power tools!
You need to drill holes in the base of the chassis which line up with the Arduino. You will need no more than two.
Now, it is a simple matter to screw in the standoffs...
And finally attach the Arduino to the top.
Attaching the breadboard
Since the breadboard is not as vital a piece of equipment, and because it comes with an adhesive backing, using zip-ties to secure it will be perfectly fine.
Be sure to trim the ends when finished.
Now you have attached the components, you are ready to begin wiring.

Shorts are just a unique and different version of long trousers, and the moment a lady dresses up in a short then there is a message that something more casual is on the way.

In the early eighties, African parents see it as a taboo for their young girls to put on shorts, even husbands do not permit its use but today everyone wants to look versatile, trendy and cool and so the wearing of shorts is an acceptable way of looking catchy, attractive and nice.

Most people hate to role-play. However, as professional salespeople you have to do it. Athletes have to practice, lawyers run mock trials, doctors work on cadavers, mechanics spend hours practicing before they are allowed to work on a machine, and pilots spend hours in flight simulators. Sales is the only profession that I can think of where the people that are doing the work actually practice on their customers. No wonder most stores don't maximize their potential in sales. Why do baseball players stand in the on-deck circle swinging two bats or a bat with a weight on the end? Why does Tiger Woods hit 5000 golf balls a day on the driving range? The answer is simple: In order to be the best they can be.
It amazes me that in many stores that I go into the salespeople have never sat down and thought about what they were going to say to a customer before they said it. Many have never written down, memorized, and practiced asking good, solid, information gathering, open-ended questions. Most have never written down, memorized, and practiced questions that cause the customer to tell them what other jewelry pieces they may be interested in buying not only now, but in the future as well.
We all know that people buy our products for a variety of different reasons. Some are emotion based, some technically based, others are impulse buys, and some are even just to keep up with their peers. Therefore, salespeople should have practiced all these different types of situations.
Practice giving Features, Benefits, and Agreement Questions. Most jewelry salespeople that I encounter give presentations that are chocked full of features, yet customers don't buy features, they buy benefits. It is not what the item has; it is what the item will do for the end-user, the customer.
As adults, it is very difficult for us to learn new information. Our brains are full of so much stuff that it is sometimes extremely hard to retain new information that is to be learned. Some people are visual learners others are more auditory and still others need to learn through hands on experience. The bottom line is that all of us need to learn, retain and apply new information in all areas of our lives, especially professionally when it comes to salesmanship. There is so much new information to learn and the industry is changing so quickly that it sometimes seems nearly impossible to keep up.
It is my experience that if an adult is to learn, retain and be able to apply new information the following five criteria must be met.
1) Hear the information - through the spoken word or through audio media.
2) Read the information - reading the information allows the participant to go back through the information and review immediately if the information wasn't understood completely.
3) Write the information - Written understanding, or testing, of the information being taught guarantees that the information was understood and through memorization the retention begins.
4) Role-play the information that was taught - through role-playing a person begins to retain the application of the information that was taught, thus increasing the retention and application factor.
5) Do it in real live situations - Doing the strategies or techniques as taught in real life makes the learned information "real" and proves to the participant that the information does in fact work. Again throughout the process adults will retain and be able to consistently apply the information being taught.
If you have taken responsibility for yourself and your own success, you will follow these five criteria for training. I can assure you the most important of the five is role-playing. Get yourself to the point of when a customer gives you an objection, asks an unusual question, doesn't know what they are looking for, doesn't have any product knowledge, etc., you will be saying to yourself, "I have practiced that situation a hundred times." True professionals get themselves to the point where when a customer comes in they are thinking, "I wonder how much I can sell them," as opposed to what most salespeople think, "I wonder if I am going to sell them." Role-playing gives you confidence and confidence makes good salespeople great.

- When women interrupt as moderators: "[A] moderator who interrupts risks being seen by viewers as rude. When Ms. Crowley told Mr. Romney she would 'get run out of town' if she didn't stop him, she not only stopped him, but cleverly put the responsibility for doing so on others. The fact that these moderators were women complicated the challenge for the debaters, who were mindful of the need to appeal to, and not offend, female viewers."
- Women, interrupted and interrupting: "It's well documented that women tend to be interrupted more than men, and that women who interrupt others are seen more negatively than men who do. (Some years ago John McLaughlin showed me a tape to illustrate what he'd noticed — that Eleanor Clift was cut off far more often than the men on his show.)"
- Women, interrupted by other women: "But it's also been found that there are more interruptions in all-women conversations, though the talking-over may be more a talking-along in a lively free-for-all."
You'll find more useful information about women speakers and interrupting in two of my favorite books: Tannen's own landmark book, You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation, a must-read for understanding how the genders converse differently; and Cecelia Ford's Women Speaking Up: Getting and Using Turns in Workplace Meetings, a thorough-going look at the research on how women interrupt and are interrupted, which is part of getting a turn to speak in a meeting.

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings earned another home game.
Damien Brunner scored with 4:50 left in overtime, lifting Detroit to a 3-2 series-evening win over the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night.
Detroit defenseman Jakub Kindl started the winning sequence, passing the puck from behind Detroit's net up the ice to Joakim Andersson. He tried to connect with teammate Gustav Nyquist only to have Hiller poke the puck away.
Brunner, playing in his first NHL season, was in perfect position in front of the net and swatted in the puck to end the game.
Game 5 is Wednesday night in Anaheim and Game 6 is back in the Motor City on Friday night.
During the Red Wings' run of playing in 22 straight postseasons, they have won 11 of 19 series that were tied at 2-2.
Pavel Datsyuk scored a second tying goal for the Red Wings with 6:33 left in regulation. Brendan Smith made it 1-1 early in the third.
Matt Beleskey gave the Ducks their first lead 5:07 into the game and David Steckel put them ahead midway through the third period.
Hiller, who shut out Detroit in Game 3, stopped the first 32 shots and finished with 46 saves. Jimmy Howard had 31 saves for the Red Wings.
Detroit played with a sense of desperation, hoping not to face elimination on the road in Game 5. But it was on the receiving end of aggressive play early in the game.
Beleskey hit Detroit defenseman Kyle Quincey hard on the left side of the net and had enough space to shoot and score off his own rebound to put the Ducks ahead 1-0.
The Red Wings were outshooting Anaheim 27-15 through two periods, but had nothing to show for it.
Smith changed that thanks to a break, ending a 101:18 scoring drought that started after Detroit's 5-4 overtime win in Game 2. Smith's shot from just inside the blue line went off Ducks defenseman Francois Beauchemin and past Hiller 1:18 into the third period.
Steckel netted a go-ahead goal midway in the third period
The Red Wings, and their fans, thought Johan Franzen scored moments later, but referee Eric Furlatt waved it off and his call was upheld by video review.
Datsyuk gave the red-clad, white-towel waving crowd a reason to cheer when he tied it. He carried the puck up the left side, made a move to the outside that created space between him and defenseman Luca Sbisa, and flicked a wrist shot past Hiller's glove that knocked the water bottle off the top of the net.
That was his first goal of the series after leading the team with 15 scores and 49 points during the regular season.
Ryan Getzlaf, who had two goals and four points in the first three games, had a chance to put the Ducks up after Datsyuk's score, but his breakaway backhander was stopped by Howard.
The Red Wings were missing two key players and Anaheim was without one.
Detroit's Justin Abdelkader served his first of a two-game suspension for hitting Toni Lydman's head with his left shoulder. Red Wings rookie defenseman Danny DeKeyser was out for a second straight game with a broken right thumb. Lydman was scratched because of headaches and a sore neck and was replaced in the lineup by Sheldon Souray.
The Ducks had a power play early in overtime, but couldn't take advantage. In an even-strength situation late in overtime, Detroit controlled the puck and play in the Anaheim end, but couldn't get the puck past Hiller.
Then came the winner.

NSF announces certification of Italian faucet manufacturer
New lead content requirements in California, which will mandate a maximum weighted average lead content of ≤ 0.25% for plumbing products, are scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, 2010. Newform, an Italian high-quality faucet manufacturer, took the initiative to become certified to the new requirements well in advance of the deadline.
To obtain certification, Newform demonstrated compliance with NSF/ANSI Standard 61, Annex G–Weighted Average Lead Content Evaluation Procedure to a 0.25 Percent Lead Requirement. Newform is one of the first European faucet manufacturers to successfully meet all of Annex G's lead content requirements.
"Newform's proactive response to comply with Annex G's requirements well in advance of the Jan. 1, 2010 deadline demonstrates the success of a true global leader," said Bob Ferguson, vice president, NSF Water Systems. "We are pleased to provide Newform with this certification and support them in their efforts."
Manufacturers of faucets, valves, water fittings and other products that come in contact with drinking water must meet the new requirements by Jan. 1, 2010. After this date, any pipe, fitting or fixture intended to convey or dispense water for human consumption, through drinking or cooking, must meet a weighted average lead content of <0.25%.
"The certification of our faucets to Annex G, along with their high quality and unmistakable style, continues to emphasize our leadership in the industry," said Newform Sales Manager Massimo Giroldi. "Our customers will know when they see the NSF Mark on our products that all health effect and performance requirements have been met."
For meeting the new requirements, Newform's products bear the NSF Annex G Certification Mark. Newform is also listed on the NSF website to demonstrate compliance with the new requirements.

A behaviorally based treatment for autism that is widely considered one of the most effective ways to help children with the condition will come within reach of thousands of California families when a new law kicks in July 1.
Until now, insurance companies have classified the treatment, which can involve several hours per day of therapy and cost thousands of dollars each month, as educational rather than medical.
The new state law, however, will require most plans to cover it.
Local news from across Southern California
"It's very important that insurance companies fund this because it's medically necessary," said Dr. Susan Schmidt-Lackner, an autism specialist who is an associate professor of clinical psychiatry at UCLA. "Behavioral interventions are one of the mainstays of treatment for autism."
The treatment, called applied behavioral analysis, involves no medication and no special diets. Instead, therapists use a highly focused reward system to distill even the most complicated human interactions into a series of very simple steps that almost anyone can learn.
Monday, July 2: NBC4 Hosts Experts to Answer Your Questions About Behaviorally Based Treatment for Autism
These techniques are so effective that some children who receive the treatment are no longer considered autistic after they've had it. Others make years of progress in a few months.
But behavioral interventions are expensive, because they require hours of one-on-one work with every child or adult who receives them. A team of behaviorists may spend 25 to 40 hours per week working with a single child.
"We break down a complex skill into teachable units," said Paige Raetz, a behavior analyst and clinical director for Trumpet Behavioral Health.
An act as seemingly simple as learning to look another person in the eye, for example, may simply begin with a reward for a child who responds when a therapist calls his name. Another reward – perhaps a small piece of candy – might be proffered when the child comes to sit at a table where the therapist is waiting.
It might take several more steps – and rewards – before the child begins to learn the final goal of looking someone in the eye. Similar techniques are used to break down such varied behaviors as making a bed, playing in a group or even displaying the willingness to learn in school.
Even with the new law, the treatment will remain out of reach for many families, and ongoing treatment may be disrupted for many more.
Insurance plans provided by the largest companies are exempt from following many state regulations.
These companies will only cover behavioral interventions if they choose to do so voluntarily.
Families who are covered may find that the copayments are too onerous. And those who rely on state assistance to pay for their children's treatment may find that it is interrupted, as the state struggles to figure out which patients are eligible to receive care from insurance companies, and which ones do not.
"This is a huge concern," said Tammy Pederson, director of insurance for Trumpet Behavioral Health, a provider of behavioral services who has agreed to answer questions for NBC4 viewers during a special call-in discussion on Monday. "There is a long way to go with what is covered and how much is covered by the insurance side."
Still, the law is a giant step forward, advocates said.
"This is a huge validation for parents and families," Pederson said.
Coming next week: How to access insurance coverage for behavioral interventions, and what to do if you are worried about losing your state-backed benefits.

Montreal News | Local Breaking | CTV News Montreal
Customers and workers surprised as Best Buy shutters 15 stores, including Future Shop at Forum
MONTREAL—On Thursday morning, Ishmael Amin arrived at work to discover that he had become a statistic.
Without warning, electronics retailer Best Buy shuttered 15 locations across Canada on Thursday morning, firing 900 employees in the process. Amin was one of those Best Buy employees to find himself suddenly without a job.
For eight years, Amin had worked at the Future Shop inside the Montreal Forum—Future Shop is a brand operated by the American retailer.
Amin was one of hundreds of employees on Thursday who showed up at work to discover the doors locked and notices plastered on windows saying the stores were closed until further notice.
In Montreal, the Forum location was closed as well as a Future Shop in Laval's Ste-Dorothee sector. Two Best Buy stores were also closed in Lachenaie and Sherbrooke.
One former Best Buy employee contacted CTV Montreal to say he, along with more than a dozen other employees, had been laid off from the LaSalle store last Friday.
In a statement, Best Buy said it's part of a plan to "eliminate redundant operating systems and to optimize its real estate strategy to reflect a more a changing retail landscape."
While shocked loyal clients understood that some stores weren't busy, the one at the Forum was, leaving some employees wondering if the sudden closure had anything to do with a recent attempt to unionize the store's workforce.
An agreement between management and the budding union was due on Feb. 1, a day after the closure.
For its part, the union believed the closure more to do with disappointing sales. Regardless, the closure leaves a big hole to fill at the old Forum, one that owners said was very profitable.
Best Buy and Future Shop employees will receive severance pay, which is some good news for Amin, who has a young family to feed.
"Unfortunately, right now I don't think job opportunities are that great, so we'll see," said Amin.
Retail analyst John Winter says layoffs following the frenzied Christmas shopping season are commonplace.
"February is the cruelest month in retail because you find out how you've done in the holiday season," he said. "It's cyclical."
Despite this, the layoffs and the store closures can also be a signal that consumers are still not spending as much money in stores compared to pre-recession levels, and when they are making purchases -- they're increasingly doing so online.
Winter says the electronics sector has been particularly hurt by declining sales in music and large-screen television screens, two areas that used to be big money-makers.
They're also facing tough competition from discounters and online stores, a victim of what's known as "showrooming"—when people browse in stores and then buy the products more cheaply online from competitors such as Amazon.
Retailers are also preparing for the entry of U.S. discount chain Target (NYSE:TGT), which will be making its Canadian debut in March. Target plans to open between 125 to 135 stores in former properties owned by homegrown retailer Zellers.
"Everybody is just about to get hit by a tornado," said Winter.
On Thursday, Sears Canada announced it's letting go 700 workers across the country in a bid to "right-size" and restructure its business.
Future Shop was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1982, and expanded into the U.S. In 1999 the American company Best Buy bought all the U.S. Future Shop locations and two years later picked up the Canadian operations as well.
Best Buy continued to run both chains, in many cases with two outlets located in very close proximity.
Last year Best Buy shut down 50 stores in the United States.

The Chipley Kiwanis Club met for its weekly luncheon at Pattillo�s Restaurant at the Washington � Holmes Technical Center on March 12. Lunch was prepared and served by the students of the culinary program.
President Jan Page opened the meeting and recognized Program Chair Paul Goulding. Goulding introduced Darrin Wall, Manager of Gulf Power in Chipley, who presented the program.
Mr. Wall discussed some of the challenges and opportunities facing Gulf Power. Chief among the challenges are the new federal emissions standards promulgated by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency pertaining to coal fired electric generation plants. Georgia Power, another division of the Southern Company, plans to shut down 15 coal-fired plants at a cost of 480 jobs due to these regulations. Since coal and natural gas are the two cheapest energy sources next to nuclear, these regulations could drive the cost of electricity up.
Gulf Power started to develop energy conservation programs in the 1970�s. Demand has been reduced so much that it has not been necessary to build additional power plants. Mr. Wall noted that Gulf Power always makes decisions with an eye on how the decisions will impact the consumer. As a result, Gulf Power has raised rates only twice in the last twenty years. The latest increase was last year. Energy prices are based on two components: energy cost and fuel cost. They are not allowed to make a profit on the fuel component, so efficient production is a �must�.
Recently a new President, Mr. Stan Connally took over the reins of Gulf Power. Mr. Connally came from Georgia Power and is emphasizing Gulf Power�s role in community development. Only by having strong, growing communities can a utility like Gulf Power grow.
Mr. Wall also noted that the Southern Company, the parent company of Gulf Power, is building two new nuclear reactors on an existing nuclear site in Georgia. These reactors are almost completed and will the first new reactors in about twenty-five years. He also noted that the physical equipment of Southern Company and Gulf Power are in great shape. These companies have always had great maintenance programs. Southern Company has some �smart grid� technologies to monitor and control transmission and distribution systems.
Gulf Power has installed �smart meters� throughout its service area. The goal of these meters is to make customers happy with their electric service. While the equipment is somewhat different than that used by area electric co-ops, the goals are the same: to reduce cost and improve service. .
Gulf Power is working to strengthen local communities by supporting local economic development efforts. Recently Jennife Conoley was hired away from the Bay County Economic Development Alliance to provide more local support. Gulf Power also supports the United Way and the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.
Mr. Wall noted that the Chipley Water Tower would be demolished soon. The icehouse next to the tower was originally the Chipley Light and Power Office. In 1926 it was the first purchase of what became Gulf Power. The tower is structurally unsound. It will cost about $200,000 to repair, while it will cost only about $20,000 to demolish. The water tower was taken out of service some time in the 1970�s and no longer holds water. It was noted that it might be a historical landmark.
Jan Page, President of Community South Credit Union, announced that its Relay For Life Team would be grilling racks of ribs on Thursday, March 21 at the Credit Union. The ribs will be $20 per rack.
The mission of the Kiwanis Club is �To change the world, one child and one community at a time.� In order to do this, the Chipley Kiwanis Club conducts fundraising activities throughout the year to help support different activities throughout Washington County. The Kiwanis club meets Tuesdays at Patillo�s restaurant in the middle of the WHTC campus at noon. For an invitation, contact any Kiwanian or Laura Joine, Membership Chairperson at 638-0250.

Our local, most favorite pizza shop, Pizza X, gave us two small pizza boxes free for the asking, and pizza boxes are PERFECT for salt dough maps. They're cardboard, so they can withstand the low oven temperatures for drying the salt dough, they're sturdy, so they can withstand the wet dough itself, you can paint them, they have a lid, they're stackable, and you can use the extra surface of that inside lid for those miniature lapbook books that are all the craze right now.
I printed and cut out a map of Egypt on 8.5"x11" paper--it was just a tad small for the pizza box, so we were able to add the context of the surrounding area. If we ever wanted to use a bigger map in a bigger pizza box, I'd print the map on an overhead transparency and let the girls trace it directly onto the bottom of the box. As it is, the girls glued their cut-out map directly to the bottom of the box, painted the surrounding areas (we're going to do that again when we paint the salt dough, on account of both girls appear to have forgotten the Mediterranean Sea!), and then pressed the salt dough down onto the cut-out map:
Don't worry--there was also ample time set aside for the making of long-legged ballerinas from the extra salt dough:
And then they dance:
The girls used maps to place the Nile River and Nile River Delta:
You can put a lot of relief detail into the salt dough, and Willow sculpted in the elevation change from the Upper Nile to the Lower Nile, and also added in a couple of pyramids and a Sphinx:
If you want to do flags and labels, you can stick toothpicks into the right parts as you're sculpting the salt dough. They'll dry firmly in place, and you can make and glue on the paper labels later. I considered this, and also considered having the girls model tiny pyramids and monuments from FIMO to glue on later...but, eh. The salt dough was engaging enough as-is, and the girls learned a LOT about the Nile from it. Later we might put together a giant paper map of Ancient Egypt (Megamaps will let you print maps that are over six feet long!) and label that more elaborately with all the pyramids and such, Kushites and what-have-you).
Next, we oven-dry the salt dough, and then we paint!

电竞平台Disinfect and protect with alcohol-containing caps.
3M™ Curos™ Stopper Disinfecting Cap for Open Female Luers
Curos disinfecting port protectors are alcohol-containing caps that twist onto I.V. access points for disinfection and protection. Consistent use of Curos disinfecting caps on I.V. needleless connectors is associated with decreased central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs).
Each Curos disinfecting port protector contains 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA). The IPA bathes the surfaces of the port and disinfects it in 1 minute.
电竞平台3M's Curos disinfecting port protectors is the only brand on the market that has offerings to help reduce risks across all intraluminal access points.

The effectiveness of Curos disinfecting port protectors was tested in vitro电竞平台 against**: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida glabrata. All test samples exceeded the minimum 4-log reduction after one minute. (3M data on file.)
The traditional standard of care in port disinfection has been a thorough manual scrub of the port with an alcohol pad, often referred to as "scrubbing the hub." Curos disinfecting port protectors provide several advantages over the scrub the hub protocol:
Curos alcohol-impregnated caps provide fast passive disinfection, saving nurses valuable time compared to most scrub the hub protocols. In addition, no drying time is required to achieve disinfection.
They provide a physical barrier to contamination between accesses, for up to 7 days.
Once a Curos cap is twisted into place, it provides consistent disinfection.
电竞平台Curos caps' bright color help caregivers verify that a port is clean at a glance.

Deploys Chandra X-Ray Observatory
Space Shuttle Columbia lifted off for its 26th flight -- mission
STS-93 -- on July 22, 1999, at 11:31 p.m. CDT (0431 GMT July
23, 1999). The purpose of the five-day mission was to deploy
the Chandra X-Ray Observatory.
when Columbia reached orbit, it was 11 kilometers (7 miles)
short of its target. This was due to premature main engine
cutoff an instant before the scheduled cutoff. This problem
was traced to a hydrogen leak in the No. 3 main engine nozzle.
The leak was caused when a liquid oxygen post pin came out
of the main injector during main engine ignition, striking
the hotwall of the nozzle and rupturing three liquid hydrogen
coolant tubes. Columbia eventually reached its proper altitude
and continued its mission.
On Flight
Day 1, the shuttle crew successfully deployed Chandra. The
observatory was propelled into orbit by a two-stage Inertial
Upper Stage, or IUS. Following
the second IUS burn, Chandra's solar arrays were deployed
and the IUS separated from the observatory as planned.
the rest of the mission the crew activated secondary payloads
and experiments, including the Southwest Ultraviolet Imaging
System which was used to capture ultraviolet imagery of Earth,
the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter.
The astronauts
monitored several plant growth experiments and collected data
from a biological cell culture experiment. They used the exercise
treadmill and the Treadmill Vibration Information System to
measure vibrations and changes in microgravity levels caused
by on-orbit workouts. High-Definition Television equipment
was tested for future use on both the shuttle and the International
Space Station to conform to evolving broadcasting industry
standards for television products.
Becomes First Female Shuttle Commander
With the launch of STS-93 on July 22, 1999, Col. Eileen
Collins became the first woman to command a space shuttle
became an astronaut in July 1991. Her first space flight was
in February 1995 as pilot of STS-63.
Her participation in this mission to rendezvous Space Shuttle
Discovery with the Russian Space Station Mir made her the
first woman to pilot a space shuttle. She also served as pilot
on STS-84
in May 1997. This shuttle mission was the sixth to dock with
Mir. Collins and her fellow crewmembers conducted several
experiments and transferred nearly 3.6 metric tons (4 tons)
of supplies and experiment equipment between Space Shuttle
Atlantis and the Russian space station.

We held our meeting last night and had a good time. Thanks to those that were able to make it out. Comments made after the meeting were favorable. People enjoyed the meeting, there was a lot of discussion, and some good information disseminated. Oh, and we had PIZZA too.
Our first presentation was a product review of a RedGate tool. RedGate was kind enough to provide the software and information so Kerry could demo it for us. The tool is called SQL Source Control. RedGate has integrated SVN with their product line to be able to use a source control for SQL Server. This tool will also integrate nicely with SQL Compare (allowing you to compare from Source to a Database – very handy). The tool is pretty easy to use and will probably gain some popularity in the coming months. I don't see it on RedGates product page currently though.
The second presentation was by Stacia Misner. She gave us an informal presentation on some of the new BI features in R2. It looks to be more productive and will be good for the BI arena.
Thanks to all who helped pull the meeting together last night (RedGate, presenters, attendees).

St. Petersburg Black Foot Soldiers are reportedly issuing as a statement calling the young generations of brothers willing to sacrifice their lives standing up against historic white police terror (WOT) "the youthful martyrs of God who hear his calling and rather than run, submit or bow down -fight"
thirty nine year old Hydra Lacy whose January 17th protest against WOT found him feeding racist St. Pete Police regime terrorists Jeffrey Yaslowitz & Sergeant Tom Baitinger the cake the never got to eat as just desserts for their misrepresentation of justice. "We are Thankful These two State Commissioned Racial Terror-ists Are Dead No Longer Have Opportunity To Profile Harass Our Citizens. We Will Celebrate Their Funerals Killings," Pinellas County Florida Black Foot Soldiers hailed. "His brother is a champion boxer and now Hydra has established himself in the historic struggle against white police terror. He is a hero."
Pete Soldiers have also hailed sixteen year old Nicholas Lindsey a resist white police terror hero and providing him support, counselling and commissary relief for his February 21st protest against racist St. Petersburg Police regime terrorist David S. Crawford. Crawford is believed to have profiled Lindsey as a prowler while the courageous teen was reportedly looking for reparations offenders to stage a reparations protest against.
Reportedly, Nicholas was illegally taken into the custody the Racist St. Petersburg Police Regime about 24 hours after regimist Crawford's apparent attempt to racially profile profile him. Unconfirmed sources allege the regimist certainly threatened Nicholas' life. "He was right to defend himself," one source said. "They're killing brothers here routinely and getting away with it."
Noting the seemingly racially motivated killings of brothers all throughout the State of Florida, Soldiers in nearly every major city have produced advertisements warning blacks to not be the historically racist State's next lynching victim:
Twenty year old Bradley Bolden who, after his May 16th resist white police terror protest against racial terrorist Mathew F. Little and in an interrogation allegedly said: he doesn't like law or trust white law, is also being praised for his confidence and courage in standing up against injustice and knowing what is right.
"We want our brothers like Bolden to know in standing up against white police terror they have done no wrong and they have a support system with them," says leading and controversial Florida Black Foot Soldier Claude Neal.
"We don't believe in or advocate violence, but we have the right to defend ourselves against this continued racial terrorism our children, brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers face.
"Brothers need to know that these are the same conscienceless, greedy, self justifying and demonic whites our ancestors fought against. They hold their forefathers degenerate values. They need to know that God is always looking for brave young soldiers to stand up against evil."

- Updated avant-preferences to handle the new options.
Heres a clip of the text bubbles (google video page):
No auto-hide just yet, still trying to get rid of the bugs, but hopefully I can commit this soon!
I wanted to know if you guys would be interested in a 'tile' instead of just a text label when you hover over a icon. So this would be like:
| | | Application Name |
| | icon | Launcher details/Window Name |
| | | Some other useful info |
This would be constrained to a certain width and height, But I think it would look quite sweet. It will also be useful when I get round to adding the DBus backend for apps to control their icons.
Let me know if your interested in this feature, and I'll code it.

Seisia is Australia's most northerly community and departure point for a range of marine based activities - day trips with fishing guides, tours to explore the Torres Strait Islands or a walk to the end of the jetty, the social epicentre of the community. You can also do it yourself - there's a boat ramp to launch small vessels while dinghies can be hired from nearby New Mapoon.
There is a popular beachfront camping ground with a budget lodge and seaside self-contained cabins. Give yourself the time for a lazy conversation, an opportunity of sharing moments with the locals. Adjust to northern time, where the day is measured not by the clock but by the flow of people and nature.
Supply vessels unload cargo at this port and vehicles and passengers are taken on board to cruise back to Cairns through the Great Barrier Reef islands. This one-way land, return-sea option offers a comprehensive insight into this part of the world or you could use the Peddells ferry to explore the wonders of Thursday Island.
Seisia has a petrol station with vehicle and boat fuel supplies, hire cars, a taxi service, well-stocked supermarket, mechanical repair shops and an airstrip 17 kilometres to the south.
Seisia is one of five communities of the Northern Peninsula Area Regional Shire Council: Bamaga, Injinoo, New Mapoon and Umagico. All communities in this area are only minutes apart.
The Northern Peninsula Area has an Alcohol Management Plan (AMP). AMPs aim to reduce alcohol-related violence. AMPs vary from community to community. They include alcohol restrictions, home brew bans and dry place declarations within a 'restricted area'.
Penalties apply for possessing or attempting to bring illegal alcohol into a restricted area.
To find out more about AMPs for each community, visit the Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Multicultural Affairs web site.

Most fitness experts recognize that nutrition is a key component for weight loss and management. But there's more to a weight-loss program than combining nutrition with a club's existing exercise component. A successful program will require a change in the way that weight-loss services are commonly presented.
Instead of referring to it as a diet program, call the program a strategy for nutrition and health. Your staff could organize and run the program, but the involvement of a registered dietitian — an expert in food, nutrition and weight management — is critical. A comprehensive program also involves an exercise physiologist and a health educator/counselor who could speak weekly for a brief period of time or speak for one entire session. In addition, you can use the American Dietetic Association [www.eatright.org, (800) 366-1655] as a resource.
The Right Approach
With the focus clear and a team of experts in place, the club must next develop an approach for the program. Each person has unique calorie, carbohydrate, protein, fat and nutrient requirements based on his/her age, height, weight, gender, activity level and goals. A registered dietitian would be able to determine each participant's needs and assign the appropriate nutrition plan.
After assigning the plan, the program's team must work toward participant compliance. Weekly meetings seem to be the best option for helping people stick with the program. The meetings should be set for 90 minutes. One-hour meetings often become 40-minute meetings, as people come late and then start to lose focus with five or 10 minutes left.
I suggest optional weigh-ins at each weekly meeting. For some, the thought of having to get weighed each week is motivating — for others, intimidating. Therefore, participants should choose how they will measure their success other than scale weight (e.g., body composition, clothing size, stress, energy levels, etc.).
Progress Through Education
During the meetings, participants and experts can go over food logs, something that the participants should keep. Food logs demand accountability and teach.
The latter point is crucial. Education is the key to a successful program. Participants must receive the tools and life skills they will need to achieve long-term success. Don't hand them a menu to follow. Teach them about foods, portion control, variety, etc.
I believe the Exchange System — developed by the American Diabetes Association [www.diabetes.org, (800) 232-3472] — is still the best teaching tool for permanent change. You need to supplement the system with topics such as label reading, meal planning, shopping, meal preparation, eating on the run, dealing with social situations, and so on.
Length of Program
Most experts agree that permanent behavior change takes approximately six to eight weeks to occur, so logically, a weight-loss program should run for the same time period. Any shorter and you are leaving the participants with much work to be done on their own. Much longer and you may start dealing with the issues of cost and attrition rates.
This doesn't mean that you can't maintain a relationship with the participants after the six to eight weeks. Keep in touch with some sort of less labor-intensive follow-up component. For example, all participants can receive weekly emails with tips and encouragement.
The ideal program would provide counseling for each participant on an individualized basis, but this method is expensive and would require the full-time services of a dietitian. The concept of a class provides an affordable option in a supportive group environment.
Christine Karpinski, M.A., R.D., is a registered dietitian and exercise physiologist, and is the owner of Nutrition Edge ([email protected]). She also consults for Platoon Fitness outdoor fitness company (www.platoonfitness.com).
The Basics for a Weight-Loss Program
The best weight-loss program will:
CHANGE FOCUS — The program should shift from weight loss to the development of a healthy lifestyle.
USE THE EXPERTS — A multi-faceted team is required to make the program work.
PERSONALIZE — Each participant should get his or her own plan.
EDUCATE — The program should use the Exchange System and teach skills to the participants.
MOTIVATE — The program can keep people interested with weekly classes, measures of success, food logs, etc.

Well, the Stuff White People Like blog has added its 99th entry: grammar.
It turns out that, in addition to study abroad, Barack Obama, coffee, bicycles, Arrested Development, multilingual children, organic food and David Sedaris, white people like grammar.
Considering that this blog could pretty much be called Stuff Kate Likes, I absolutely knew that this was coming.
When asking someone about their biggest annoyances in life, you might expect responses like "hunger," "being poor," or "getting shot." If you ask a white person, the most common response will likely be "people who use 'their' when they mean 'there.' Maybe comma splices, I'm not sure but it's definitely one of the two."
And what of the people who actually correct grammar?
Another important thing to know is that when white people read magazines and books they are always looking for grammar and spelling mistakes. In fact, one of the greatest joys a white person can experience is to catch a grammar mistake in a major publication. Finding one allows a white person to believe that they are better than the writer and the publication since they would have caught the mistake. The more respected the publication, the greater the thrill. If a white person were to catch a mistake in The New Yorker, it would be a sufficient reason for a large party.
I'm not going to lie — if I found a mistake in The New Yorker, I would experience a huge burst of emotion. Not of pride, however — of anger.
That is DEFINITELY taking it too far.

Walkthrough - Ability/Item FAQ
Watchmen: The End is Nigh Abilities & Items FAQ Version .5 - March 08, 2009 by William Birkin - thescarletorder at gmail dot com ================================ Introduction ================================ So, after the first few days of owning this game I wasn't seeing any progress on a guide anywhere. Most forums were busy trashing the game and discussing why the ending of the movie was changed from the comics. Anywho I made this guide with the help of some folks at XBox360Achievements.org and here you have it. I hope you all enjoy the guide, if there are any errors feel free to e-mail them to me (my address is up above.) FYI: The abilities/combos will be further elaborated on in a later version. ================================ Legal Stuff =============================== Here's the part where I pretend like this document is actually copyrighted by me. Then I go on to talk about trademarks and copyrights found in the document belonging to theirrespective owners/trademark owners/copyrights. No infrin- gement is intended, don't sue me, it's just a guide that I am not profitting from. You can print this document out for personal use, you can't put it up on your unofficialwatchmenthegamefansite.com website without written consent from me, in the form of an e-mail. The following sites have permission to post and/or link to this walkthrough: GameFAQs - http://www.gamefaqs.com XBox360Achievements - http://www.xbox360achievements.org ================================ General Stuff ================================ Amount of Cards and/or Batteries per character in each level: * Chapter I - 1 * Chapter II - 2 * Chapter III - 2 * Chapter IV - 2 * Chapter V- 3 * Chapter VI - 0 Amount of Abilities per character in each level: * Chapter I - 5 * Chapter II - 3 * Chapter III - 3 * Chapter IV - 1 * Chapter V- 1 * Chapter VI - 0 Nite Owl Tips: * In some cases, you can not adjust the camera all the way up to see the grapple points if there are still enemies on the screen. Make sure you defeat all enemies if you are having trouble locating grapple points. * Some grapple points won't activate (allow you to grapple to them) until all enemies are defeated. * All of the owl batteries are found while in night vision mode. In some cases night vision mode is a part of the story, so make sure to look around when this is activated before progressing. Rorschach Tips: * When lock picking, go from smallest to biggest, this will usually work. Also be aware that the right trigger MAY trigger a different bolt/pin than you are trying to work on. It takes patience, a calm hand, and some strategy. * Some locked doors won't activate (allow you to lock pick them) until all enemies are defeated. * Almost all of his cards are located behind locked doors. ================================ Chapter 1 - Abilities & Items ================================ Rorschach ------------ Stun = Entrance Throw = After Generator Counter Attack = Stairs before Cell Block C, top of steps. Bull Rush = "Rehabilitation they call it..." doorway. Knock Down = Entrance to Second Lever Room Cards ------------ 1 of 1 in this stage is located right after the Knock Down ability, pick the lock right in front of you and explore the little room Nite Owl ------------ Stun = Entrance Throw = After Generator Counter Attack = Before the Stairs prior to Cell Block C. Grenade = "Rehabilitation they call it..." doorway. Knock Down = Entrance to Second Lever Room Batteries ------------ 1 of 1 is located deep within a grapple point you discover when you first enter the room of flames, just look up and you should be able to grapple. Then follow the path until you get to night vision mode, keep following the path, don't go down the stairs instead go the other direction and you'll cross a bridge, keep going and you'll find a battery sooner or later. ================================ Chapter 2 - Abilities & Items ================================ Rorschach ------------ Fast Stun = Take a left at the fork in the road at the start of the game, you can't miss it. Rage Mode = After getting Fast Stun head forward until you get into a clearing, look to your right and you'll see it right behind a gate, time to pick the lock! Extra Damage = Right after you split up, it's down the alley, can't miss it. Cards ------------ Rorschach's cards are usually behind locked doors, but this is not always the case. 1 of 2 take a right when the path splits at the beginning of the game and pick the lock. Head down the alley, make a left. To your right is a yellowish alley/dead end after the scaffolding, look there for the card. 2 of 2 is located in the open by that drop-off point right before the "final" area where you take on a ton of bikers and Nite Owl states he hates bikers. Nite Owl ------------ Area Attack = Located on your left down the long blue lighted alley (before you split up.) Fast Knock Down = After you decide to split up, you will grapple up three points (from the ground level up) then you will encounter a small gang of thugs, take them out and then run to your left, the power up is hidden behind a tiny staircase. Electrify Owlsuit = "Streets belong to the city..." gateway. Batteries ------------ Nite Owl's batteries are in areas where you grapple to a roof and have night vision. 1 of 2 is by Rorschach's power up that's located behind the locked fence, you grapple to a roof nearby. 2 of 2 is located where you guys first split up. ================================ Chapter 3 - Abilities & Items ================================ Rorschach ------------ Area Attack = Between gate after first couple of bad guys Fast Area Attack = Before Nite Owl holds up a door for you, it is towards the end of a dock behind some trash cans. Rage Mode Upgrade = After climbing a pipe (2nd pipe you'll climb in the chapter) onto a roof top, you will need to drop down onto a catwalk above a large room. There will be a card on this catwalk. Cards ------------ 1 of 2 - The first card is early on behind a locked gate with 6 tumblers. It's near the top of the tall staircase you need to go down. 2 of 2 - After defeating some enemies, go through the door that Nite Owl opens up, and you'll be outside in a fenced in area, go right, and in the middle of the clearing at the end there will be a card. Nite Owl ------------ Extra Damage - (Y+X+X+Y) Located in a corner behind a large shipping crate just past the stairs into the lower area. Owlsuit Upgrade - (LT) Located in the crane. Just keep climbing and it will be right next to the lever that you have to pull. Can�t miss it. Fast Stun - (X+X+X) - Again, can�t miss it. Rorschach �gets an Idea� and climbs up a pipe to let you in. Nite Owl says, �Everything go okay?� You fight some dudes and get this as you leave the area through the doorway on the right. Batteries ------------ Nite Owl's batteries are in areas where you grapple, as per usual. 1 of 2 is located when you split up and Rorschach says to find a way in from outside, grapple up and go outside and jump down. Go left by two fans and look up. Grapple up and owl battery is here. 2 of 2 is found after Nite Owl finds Fast Stun, go outside and trigger the cutscene, the grapple point is behind you. ================================ Chapter 4 - Abilities & Items ================================ Rorschach ------------ Maximum Damage = After the open column filled room, you will be back in a small tunnel, that will curve right then left, and then come to a dead end. To the left is a small area with the Rorschach Ability. (Right is the rest of the level.) Cards ------------ 1 of 2 - After defeating the enemies in the large, open room filled with columns, you will need to climb a pipe to turn a valve. When you climb the pipe, you will see the Rorschach card right in front of you. 2 of 2 - After the two rounds of enemies drop down on you in the large room (after climbing the ladder). You will be given an option on which gate to go through, take the left path (the one that was on the left when you came up the ladder). This will lead you to a room with a bunch of barrels, and a small ledge around the outside. Take the stairs up onto the ledge, and follow it around until you come to a locked gate. Pick the lock, and you will find the card behind the fence to the right of the gate. Nite Owl ------------ Fast Area Attack = found after group of bad guys with knives, you'll see the "shining" door at the end of the hall, turn right into a dead end and you'll find it. Batteries ------------ Nite Owl's batteries are in areas where you use night vision, be alert. 1 of 2 is easily found, night vision will activate and soon you begin down a steep hill. Look to your right as you begin down and the owl battery is here. Its kind of behind some curb height wall so it may be hard to notice at first. 2 of 2 is located after you go down the hill, go left. Night vision will start up again. Owl Battery is here. ================================ Chapter 5 - Abilities & Items ================================ Rorschach ------------ Fast Knock Down = Right after the initial fight with the police. Go down the alley that leads away from behind the cop car. It's a dead end, but if you go all the way to the end, then turn around to the right, and you'll see it. Cards ------------ 1 of 3 - After the you split up with Nite Owl, there will be a battle with three police officers. Defeat them, and look around for a pipe. In relation to the police car, it's straight out from the driver-side window. Climbing it will lead you to a small roof with nothing but a Rorschach card on it. 2 of 3 - After you reunite with Nite Owl, a helicopter will spot you. Shortly after, you'll run across a group of police officers. Look to the right of where they are standing. It's between the edge of the building, and three smokestacks (just before you jump over the gap). 3 of 3 - After splitting up with Nite Owl for the second time, you will immediately drop down a pipe, then jump down, then drop down two more pipes. After doing this, you will find the Rorschach card to the right in the short alley. You should now have all 10. Nite Owl ------------ Maximum Damage = it's on the roof where you meet back up & the chopper appears. Just slowly walk & drop down letting the spotlight shine around which showed me where it was. It's next to some stairs by the edge of the roof. Batteries ------------ Nite Owl's batteries are in areas where you grapple/split up/have night vision, big surprise. 1 of 3 is found after your first split up, after you have gone up to the roof, jump down and instead of attacking the cops go left. You will see a "Way Up" sign. Grapple up and look up for the next "Way Up" sign. Grapple up and the battery is behind the water tower. 2 of 3, after getting the previous battery, jump down and fight past to waves of cops. You will proceed to a "Way Up" sign. Don't go up but look to your left and go up the "Way Up" sign there. The owl battery is here. 3 of 3 is found shortly after Rorschach says to split up. Grapple up and climb the ladder. Turn left when night vision turns on and the owl battery is here. You should now have all 10. Chapter 6 - Abilities & Items ------------ Rorschach ------------ No Abilities or Items in this stage. Nite Owl ------------ No Abilities or Items in this stage. Thanks to OGsmokeTICAL, & flavaham for their detailed contributions. Thanks go to JasonBlade for locating Nite Owl's ability in Chapter 5.

Alcohol, Drugs, and Born Again Christianity
I reflect on the recent outreach efforts of a Born Again Church. I also reflect on a BBQ put on the next day in exactly the same spot by a group of alcoholic derelicts which turned into a drunken melee. About the first, they had everyone holding hands and calling out the name of the idol on cue. About the second, there was a huge quantity of both beer and hard liquor, and it turned violent. It was the same people at both events.
With the Born Again Church a very high percentage of their congregation have serious histories with drugs, alcohol, and domestic violence. To listen to them talk it sounds like such things are never far behind, but that was until they got Saved. They talk about how "Jesus is coming for his own, but there is still time for more people to get Saved". "Jesus says we're supposed to talk about it. I wouldn't want to be waiting in the line for heaven with all of my friends in the *other* line saying, 'Why didn't you tell us?'" They explain how, "God has placed dinosaur bones on this earth in order to test our faith." They have weekly classes on Biblical Prophecy, meaning that they look to the Bible for predictions of the future.
One woman was visiting her daughter in the hospital due to respiratory complications resulting from decades of drug use. Some were saying, "Write her off, she's a drug addict, she's as old as I am." I was angered by this and so I sent to the mother, "I commend you for standing with your daughter." What came back was, "If I didn't, Satan would have his way with her." Where as I had felt good about this mother being at her daughter's bedside, now I did not. Later the mother explained to me of the whole episode, "Well she really didn't get the help she needed." I learned that by this she meant a psychiatric hospital.
Every one of their families seems to have its Black Sheep, someone designated from an early age as the scape goat. Usually this means alcohol and drugs. If the Black Sheep is female, then it also means sex. Its whatever it takes to justify the idea that the Black Sheep is other. Then when the Black Sheep gets their throat cut and dies in a back alley somewhere they say, "He/she had stepped forwards many times in order to be cured of his/her addictions. At this point I have to wonder whether he/she was really Saved or not."
With the alcoholics most of the women are kept hoped up with psychiatric medication. It makes it easier for the authorities to deal with them. If they didn't do this, then our society would have to deal with what is under the surface, which most likely is going to be familial sexual abuse. Besides, the women accept the medication so that they can get disability money. Medication, plus Born Again Christianity, makes them easier to handle and it keeps ugly truths hidden.
The BBQ quickly turned into a taunting of parks workers and police. Police found the huge cash of beer cans, but they couldn't do anything about it because none of the cans were opened. This only egged them on. Soon strangers were being knocked off of bicycles. The woman who had shelled out for most of the food and all of the beer got punched in the face with a closed fist and fell to the ground.
At the Born Again Church they want prayer in the public schools, lower taxes, smaller government, school vouchers, and the end of social programs.
The alcoholics all profess belief in the self-reliance ethic and a harsh criminal justice system. They say, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime." They cite individual choice as the source of all problems.
I'm not seeing much difference between alcohol and drugs, and Born Again Christianity. Its the same people who subscribe to both. Its just that they play different roles with regards to them. They serve as two poles for people to oscillate back and forth between. So you cannot get people to stop drinking by preaching Born Again Christianity. Its not that much different from drinking.
What we should instead be doing is getting people to renounce Born Again Christianity. When someone can make an informed and conscientious rejection of Born Again Christianity this means that they have already rejected alcohol and drugs, because they have rejected the group identity, approval seeking, fatalism, and escapism which underlie them.

BO to Forum, Someone is unhappy with my previous post
Minor §1 violation: Unwanted forum behaviour Hello Becoming Other, We want our forum to be a place where people want to be, and where true debates can be held. For this reason, the forum rules (http://debate.atheist.net/faq.php?faq=vb_faq#faq_forumrules) state: ---Quote--- Refrain from using language that is intentionally denigrating, malicious, racist, pornographic or threatening, with regards to people, or groups. Refrain from behaviour that is noisy, threatening or harassing, as well as other types of anti-social behaviour. ---End Quote--- Your posting history looks like one long string of posts that are threatening or harassing, even though it is not directed at atheists, but at Born Again Christians. We appreciate that you attempt to start a debate, but the tone and subject of your posts are not conducive to debate, and the result is the meagre responses that you get. Probably for this reason you are posting the same stuff elsewhere also which is again against our rules. Please stop trying to use our forum as a starting point of a war against certain kinds of Christianity. This is only a warning, but if your continue the same behaviour, we will have to step up the pressure to stop this kind of posting. The Moderating Group **************************************************************************************************************
Its actually the Born Again Christians who are harassing, as their belief is that anyone who does not make the same professions as they do is damned. This underlies everything they say and do. Sometimes we miss this because we don't understand that everything they say is also saturated with pity. For them there is no need to start a war, as it is already guaranteed by their prophecies.
But just imagine, someone thinking that I would want to start a war.
I've not been posting lately because I've moved from talk to action and so things have been happening fast and furious on the ground. But I will be back.

Advice on how to make a good presentation
Select statistics, if available
The use of statistics is almost compulsory when it comes to professional presentations. But follow the below guidelines to make sure, they complement your presentation instead of distracting it:
- Use statistics in a clearly visible format. Word and Excel is full of templates which look good and are visible on a slide.
- Use data which is easy to comprehend to and which has a clear and direct connection with what you are to say.
- Do your best for all the numbers and letters to be comprehensive even from afar.
Make sure you don't overuse statistics one or two of them is more than enough.

HINDRAF have obtained reliable information from members of the public including sympathisers from the Malay Community that the underworld "3 Line and Mat Rempit " gang are mobilising a large number of superbikers into Kamunting on Saturday, June 13, 2009 to "teach" the Indians a lesson as a result of the racial clash that sparked on June 8, 2009.
HINDRAF wishes to stress that we do not condone to any form of violence let it be from the Indians, Malays or any race for the matter.
The racial attacks in Kamunting on June 8, 2009 and the ongoing unrelated, unprovoked attacks on innocent Malaysian Indians in Kamunting are being perpetrated by outsiders in gangs of superbikes believed to be members of the underworld Malay "3 Line and Mat Rempit" gangs.
Over the last 2 days Indians in groups (in Kamunting) of more than 3 are told to disperse by the police or face arrest but they seem to deliberately ignore the large groups of the underworld superbikers who are patrolling and intimidating the Malaysian Indian folks in Kamunting.
A Hindu Temple namely the Madurai Veeran Temple in Batu 4, Kamunting was also torched by members of these underworld and Police is yet to investigate the report lodged by members of the said Temple .
The impartiality of the Royal Malaysian Police Force is questionable as they are fully aware of these gangs' activities in arousing racial clashes in Kamunting and it appears that they are colluding with these gangsters in continuing their activities for motives only known to them.
HINDRAF calls upon the IGP to act in accordance to the oath he had taken in providing protection to all citizens of the country and prevent Kamunting from turning into another Kg. Medan massacre that took place from 8/3/2001 to 23/3/2001 (15 days in a row without any interference from the Police Force to restore law and order) where hundreds were seriously injured and 6 lives were lost.
We call upon the IGP to take a pragmatic and realistic approach particularly in mobilizing his men on 13th June 2009 to prevent any untoward incident planned by the underworld gangs which could lead to unnecessary cost to innocent lives.
There has to be more patrols and protection to the people of Kamunting and those culprits who have been attacking innocent people over the last four days must be arrested immediately and charged in Court, failing which the confidence of the people in the Royal Malaysian Police Force would be eroded further.
P. Waytha Moorthy.

BizBrief: It's a wrap for Hollywood Video
Beleaguered Hollywood Video closed its Charlottesville store at Barracks Road March 15, NBC29 reports, and its space in the north wing of the shopping center will be occupied by Anthropologie. Attempts to get anyone to answer the phone at parent company Hollywood Entertainment in Wilsonville, Oregon, were unsuccessful.
1 comment
From my understanding talking to employees, the local store was doing fine under the current management. This whole situation has nothing to do with Hollywood video per se and everything to do with Barracks Rd. Shopping center that forced them out. This seems to be a trend in Charlottesville, where we have good businesses with helpful staff forced out for trendy chains. Its the same kind of logic that forced out Innisfree from the Mall. I know this isn't a local store per se, but the people at Hollywood were good people and we appreciated the convenience of the store, and we now have no reason to go into that shopping center anymore.
I wish some local video store could run a similar deal like the one Hollywood offered. We only get one TV Channel where we live, and so we rented an average of one video per day throuh their MVP program. Our family will now have no choice but to go to Netflix.
Oh, yeah, and sneak reviews or someone please hire Jennifer, we like her movie recomendations.

Let me set the scene for you.
Me. Hair blown straight, curled at the ends. Liner and mascara framing my eyes. Black and white knit jacket, zipper on a bias, edged in soft black leather. Black pencil skirt, black tights, black boots balanced on three-inch heels. Head to toe, ready to impress.
The room. One long table in front of the window, lined with wine glasses and bottles of red and bottles of white. Ten round tables, ten plates of macarons, ten seated men. The sound of French chatter. Lots of smiles. This is speed dating at the French Library.
I walk towards the empty chair, hand plunged into the depths of my purse, feeling for … for what? a pen? my phone? a beret? I don't remember … for whatever I'm looking for. My fingers fumble over something they don't recognize. It's round and plastic and squishy. Eyes locked with my first "date," I withdraw a totoche. Lilli's pink pacifier weighs awkwardly in my palm. I stare down at it. I stare up the man standing in front of me.
In my mind, I explain that last night I met my friends' newborn daughter and, oh là là!, her binky must have fallen into my bag. Out loud I merely say, oh là là! and stuff the totoche back into my bag.
I tilt my head and brush back my hair and bat my lashes and shrug. He shakes my hand and says bon soir. We sit down.
That was my Valentine's Day. How was yours?
Bulgur and chickpea salad with parsley and mint
Here's a salad that I made for lunch a few weeks back. It has nothing to do with this story, but I've been meaning to share it for a while. Inspired by a pile of small cucumbers and a bouquet of herbs, I found this tabouli-inspired recipe. I added the extra step of peeling the chickpeas. This takes about 5 minutes per can and, while some might find it tedious, I find it soothing to fall into a rhythm while letting my mind wander.
Makes 4 lunches
– 1 C medium or coarse bulgur (I used coarse)
– 2 C water
– 2 15-ounce can chick peas
– 25-30 sprigs fresh parsley (1/2 C finely chopped)
– 15 sprigs fresh mint (1/4 C finely chopped)
– 3 small (Persian) or 3/4 large (English) cucumbers
– 3 scallions
– 1/4 C fresh lemon juice
– 1/3 C extra virgin olive oil
– 1/2 t cumin
– salt and pepper
Simmer. For coarse bulgur: Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the bulgur and salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat, and allow to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes. For medium bulgur: Place the bulgur in a bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pour on 2 cups hot or boiling water. Allow to sit for 20 to 25 minutes, until most of the water is absorbed. Drain and squeeze out the water.
Peel. Rinse and drain the chick peas and then peel them. Grasp each chickpea between your thumb and forefinger, apply a little bit of pressure, and the outer transparent skin will slip right off. Each can took me about 5 minutes.
Chop. Finely chop the parsley and mint. Cut the cucumber into approximately 1/2-inch cubes. Slice the scallions into thin rounds up until the point where the green turns dark.
Shake. Shake in a jar (or whisk in a bowl) lemon juice and olive oil with cumin. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Toss. Mix the bulgur, chickpeas, herbs, and scallions in a bowl. Toss with half the salad dressing, adding more to taste. The salad is even better the next day.
