Evening Right, let's address the elephant in the room – the name of Tottenham's opponents this evening. Berner Sport Club Young Boys 1898 are colloquially known as Young Boys. This presumably is not a problem in Switzerland, but, for an English-speaking audience it is a name that has been known to spark the odd titter. The double entendres have been tumbling from reporters' mouths like Cristiano Ronaldo from a challenge that never happened. Throw in the fact their home ground used to be known as Wankdorf Stadium and well, what can you do – really?
The answer ... to what I had intended as a rhetorical question in that intro appears to be this. Thanks to my colleague Ian Griffiths for the heads up.
Team news: Roman Pavyluchenko, Giovani dos Santos, Wilson Palacios and Sebastien Bassong are all in for Spurs, with Peter Crouch, Aaron Lennon and Tom Huddlestone dropped to the bench and Ledley King not making the trip.
Young Boys: Wolfli, Sutter, Spycher, Affolter, Jemal, Lulic,
Tape Doubai, Degen, Hochstrasser, Costanzo, Bienvenu. Subs:
Burki, Marco Schneuwly, De Pierro, Christian Schneuwly,
Raimondi, Regazzoni, Mayuka.
Tottenham: Gomes, Corluka, Dawson, Bassong, Assou-Ekotto,
Giovani, Palacios, Modric, Bale, Pavlyuchenko, Defoe. Subs:
Cudicini, Kaboul, Huddlestone, Lennon, Keane, Crouch, Kranjcar.
Referee: Frank De Bleeckere (Belgium)
Young Boys, then My research into Tottenham's opponents tonight has been somewhat restricted by my own concern that Google might end up forwarding my details on to the authorities, but it seems the consensus key man for Young Boys is their goalkeeper and captain Marco Wolfli, who made more than one top drawer save over the two legs against Fenerbahce. Other than that there's Scott Sutter, the Englishman and Tottenham fan who moved to Switzerland at 16, and Henri Bienvenu, the Cameroon striker who has scored three goals for Young Boys so far this season. Their start to the season hasn't been great generally, though - five league games have yielded one win and just five points.
An email "Expecting to seeing Tottenham blow it tonight - and that is in no way a double-entendre on the Swiss name, just a prediction that having worked so hard for this chance it would be typical to see all that effort lost in a single match," parps Mark Ireland. "Anyway, since I do contribute to the charitable efforts so many other MBM and OBO readers take the opportunity to plug, can I get a mention of my own? It's for the Pacific Assistance Dogs society. We have an annual Walk/Roll/Run to raise funds. It's only 5k but it's my first ever race because I've never seen the point of running unless there's the chance of scoring a goal at the end. Folk can sponsor me at www.tinyurl.com/PADSRun and get more info on the organisation at www.pads.ca"
1 min Away we go. Sky's commentators are fretting a lot about the artificial pitch. Personally, I'm fairly confident that Tottenham's players will have done enough training on such pitches to know by now how to play on such a surface.
2 min Young Boys hit the post! I was just about to say it had been a scrappy start with neither team really getting the ball under control, but then Degen took the ball from a short throw-in on the left, turned and rolled it into the path of Lulic attacking the D. His low first-time effort caught Gomes flat-footed but ricocheted away off the foot of the post.
GOAL! Young Boys 1-0 Tottenham (Lulic 4 min) What a start this is for Young Boys! Doubai looked up and decided to chance his arm from about 25 yards out, but his shot struck the back of a team-mate inside the area, then rebounded off Dawson before falling to Lulic 10 yards out, where he simply sidefooted it into the far corner of the net.
6 mins Tottenham have been stung into action by that goal and Bale lifts a free-kick into the area, but Young Boys manage to hack it clear.
7 mins Ooh - what an opportunity that was for an equaliser - Giovani raced onto a throughball down the right inside channel and left two defenders in his wake as he ran straight through on goal. Wolfli was out sharply, though, and the forward's low effort was straight at him at the near post.
8 mins More good work from Tottenham, as Defoe reacts sharply to swivel and flash a wicked volley over the bar from a Pavlyuchenko knock-down just outside the area.
10 mins Tottenham certainly looked like they were caught off-guard by the way Young Boys started the game, but in some ways conceding quite so early may have its upside - the home side have really retreated into their shell a bit since the goal. Tottenham will have to hope they intend to sit on the lead.
11 mins Inevitably, as soon as I post that last update, Sutter bursts clear down the right and whips over a cross that Basson has to head behind for a Young Boys corner.
12 mins The corner is headed clear without any great fuss.
GOAL! Young Boys 2-0 Tottenham (Bienvenu 13 min) Wow. Just wow. There didn't look to be any danger when Doubai started carrying the ball forward from just inside Young Boys' half, but some horrific ball-watching by Tottenham's defence led to four players trying to close him down all at once and he was able to nudge the ball at the last second to Bienvenu, who raced 25 yards forward before placing a perfect finish into the bottom right corner. Stunning.
15 min Well now Tottenham really are reeling. Costanzo's free-kick from the right is only half-cleared, and Doubai sends the ball straight back in to the edge of the six-yard box, where Bienvenu is - thankfully for Spurs - offside.
17 mins "I don't get the issue with the plastic pitch," writes Michael Wilner. "If Young Boys play with a modern synthetic field, it's probably better on poor Ledley's knees than some slip-slidy mud patch or field full of divots. My Sunday league plays on a nice phony pitch – my knees feel great, I haven't turned an ankle on bad footing, and there are no grass stains on my jersey." Rather agree Michael - these certainly aren't the old astroturf pitches of my school days.
18 mins Another fine chance for Tottenham as Bale stops abruptly on his way down the left-flank before twirling a looping ball over that swings towards goal at the last to give Defoe the opportunity to get goalside of his marker. Five yards out, he can't quite get a clean contact on the ball and it dribbles wide of the far post.
20 mins Tottenham are trying to be patient - building slowly from the back and keeping the ball on the ground, but you can sense the frustration as one such move breaks after painstaking approach play as Modric runs straight into Jemal.
21 mins Harry Redknapp is up off his bench, barking curiously high-pitched instructions at his team. Behind him Peter Crouch sits under the shadow of the dugout, looking glum.
23 mins A not especially threatening cross from the left - with seemingly nobody in a Young Boys shirt attacking it - causes trouble for Gomes and Dawson, both of whom went for the ball and neither of them very successfully. The ball is cleared, but if you were looking for an indication of Tottenham's composure levels right now, that was it.
25 min Again the ball is whipped over from the left by Lulic and this time Tottenham are just grateful that Bienvenu doesn't get on the end of it after Bassong completely mistimes his leap.
26 min "Guess we can count Ledley King out of England for sure then," muses Andy. "Wembley's pitch is now part synthetic right?" I think at this stage there are many more pressing reasons to suppose King's international career might not have a lot left in it.
27 min Bale has been without doubt Tottenham's best performer so far tonight - his every movement down the left causing concern in the Young Boys back line. He cuts the ball back for Modric, who fires over from a few yards outside the area.
GOAL! Young Boys 3-0 Tottenham (Hochstrasser 28 min) So, so easy for Young Boys. From inside the centre circle, Costanzo looks up and plays the simplest of angled throughballs for Hochstrasser - the player Bassong should be tracking but isn't - and the midfielder hammers the ball across Gomes and into the net. Incredible.
29 mins The Spurs fans inside the Stade Suisse look totally dumbfounded. Who knew there was footballing life outside the Premier League?
31 mins Peter Crouch is up and warming up, along with most of the Spurs bench - there will be changes at half-time if not sooner. The stadium is absolutely rocking.
32 mins "Fire Redknapp," demands Adam Boscarino. "All that work to get to this point, the biggest game of the season, and he starts a B team. He should be sacked at the half."
33 mins Tom Huddlestone is already out of his tracksuit and ready to come on, though for the meantime he will just have to stand and watch as Young Boys roll the ball around the middle of the park with ludicrous nonchalance.
34 mins Bassong, who, let's be straight, is having an absolute shocker, once again allows Bienvenu to get goalside of him and despite being right on the edge of the box immediately grabs two fistfuls of his opponent's shirt. The foul is outside the area - just - and it's a free-kick to Young Boys ...
35 mins Costanzo fizzes his effort a foot or so over the bar. Not far off.
36 min Huddlestone on, Assou-Ekotto off.
37 min From a free-kick in the middle of the Young Boys half the ball is looped forwards towards the penalty spot, where Palacios gets ahead of Wolfli and heads the ball down to the penalty spot, but the flag is up.
39 min Defoe gets free down by the touchline on the right, but his square ball across the six yard box is cut out by Wolfli. "So let me get this right - the fourth best team in the 'best league in the world' are 3-0 down to the second best team in the 13th best league in Europe, after 30 minutes," muses Graham Terris. "Who woulda thunk it?"
41 min Redknapp has sat back down on the bench, but his head does seem to be turning a curious shade of purple - like a mid-transition Violet Beauregarde in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
GOAL! Young Boys 3-1 Tottenham (Bassong 42 min) To use the common parlance - a 'lifeline' for Tottenham. Young Boys gave away a particularly soft corner on the left - Sutter knocking the ball behind when he had time to turn, and after one false start - Tottenham trying to take the set-piece before the referee was ready - Bassong rushes in to meet the delivery, crashing a header straight at Wolfli but with enough force that the keeper can only push it up into the roof of his own net.
45 min Tottenham win another corner - this time on the right - and once again it causes trouble - Wolfli punching away unconvincingly under pressure and Pavlyuchenko eventually retrieving the ball before seeing his shot deflected behind for another corner ...
45 min (+1) This one is headed clear more convincingly.
Peepety-peeep! That's half-time, and what a first half it has been. I need a quick breather but I'll be back in a sec with some emails.
Managerial musings "Maybe Fabio Capello should put himself forward to replace Redknapp after this game," chirrups Gerry Moran. "Revenge can be sweet!"
'Arry's pl'Ans "'Arry will no doubt try and sign one of their team at half time," reckons Dylan Holman. "That or blame one of his strikers before saying his wife Sandra could do better. Or blame Man City for not selling bellamy to him. Or all three."
European surprises "I know its not over yet, but the scoreline got me thinking about most unexpected (or perhaps I mean embarrassing) results in Europe for English teams," ponders John Ainsworth. "Blackburn vs Trelleborgs in 1994 springs to mind, but then it would as a Rovers fan." What about Tromso 3-2 Chelsea in the Cup Winners' Cup?
Job done "There you go - one back before the half. Scrape another in the second and all we need is a one-nil win at the Lane," points out Anthony Marc Hopkins. "Had it all the way, Spurs did."
46 min Off we go again. "That last goal will define the draw - as it stands, all Spurs need is two-nil at home," writes Stephen Hamilton. "Seeing as they should have beaten Manchester City (heirs to every trophy there is to win in football) 3- or 4-0 at home, this will be easily accomplished. And I hate Spurs. But I hate football fans who engage in schadenfreude even more." Personally I would be absolutely stunned if there aren't more goals in this first leg - the defending on both sides has been very poor. So maybe let's hold judgement on both sides till full-time, eh?
47 min There are lies, damned lies, and the statistics Sky just showed that reveal Tottenham had more possession and more shots in the first half. Tottenham's shots were mostly from outside the area in unthreatening positions - just about every one of Young Boys's efforts was from a fantastic position inside the area where they had been left to run free by the defence.
48 mins Sorry - meant to say, Kranjcar is on for Modric at half-time.
49 mins "Spurs fans needn't fret too much - the game will surely swing their way in the closing stages," parps Brian Guiney as Bale is dispossessed by Spycher on the left. "It will be well past the Young Boys' bedtime after all ... I'll get my coat."
50 mins Tottenham have started this half at a much higher tempo than they managed at any point in the first half, and Palacios powers his way down towards the goalline on the left before sending over a cross that beats Wolfli, but also, just, the leap of Defoe.
51 min Krancjar is right in the thick of things already, serving as a reference point in the middle of the Young Boys' half. He nudges one ball into the path of Huddlestone to give his team-mate a few yards to work in just outside the area, but he pulls his shot wide of the far post.
53 mins And again it's Kranjcar who surges forward and this time into the 18-yard box himself before playing a square ball for Pavlyuchenko, who is midway through a turn that calls to mind a docking QE2 when he is dispossesed by Affolter.
54 mins "Surely Everton have the crown for most embarrassing result in Europe with their nil - nil draw with University College Dublin in the CWC," suggests Robert James. "Yes they won the tie overall but 1-0 against a bunch of students really is rubbish."
55 mins Bale comes flying down the left flank again and puts an inviting low cross over that Defoe can't quite get his boot to before Pavlyuchenko shins it over at the back post.
56 mins It is very much all Tottenham so far this half.
58 mins Young Boys emerge from their half for the first time this, erm, half, and Bale is penalised for a challenge on Degen about five yards from the goalline on the right. Costanzo's cross is weighted perfectly, dipping right into the mass of bodies on the penalty spot, but Tottenham manage to head it clear.
59 mins Better football from Young Boys, as Doubai and Degen exchange passes on the right to send the former rumbling into the area, bouncing off one defender then another before a slightly clumsy but entirely fair challenge from Bassong puts it behind for a corner.
60 mins Sutter gets his head to the corner at the near post, flicking the ball across the area but nodbody manages to get onto it and the ball runs away on the far side of the area.
62 mins "It looked to me like Young Boys were deliberately targeting Assou-Ekotto while he was on the pitch," points out Niko Bakulich. "There were certainly a lot of hopeful balls sent that direction. It looks like it paid off, too, considering one of the goals came from his touchline and the other from a lack of organisation between him and Bassong. This isn't the first time an opposition manager has targeted his defending but hopefully 'Arry will learn his lesson after that display." A fair point Niko, and it certainly looked in the first half like Young Boys had done their homework on their opponents tactically where Tottenham looked like they hadn't. Maybe Redknapp had the same problems I was having on Google.
64 mins Pavlyuchenko tries his luck from the best part of 30 yards, but it turns out his luck's out.
65 mins Young Boys have sent Christian Schneuwly on for Costanzo. Tottenham may be making a change imminently too, as Defoe seems to be down hurt.
66 mins Sure enough, Robbie Keane is on for Defoe. Apparently it's a groin problem for the latter.
67 mins Not a minute has passed before Keane is making a smart run between Affolter and Sutter, but the long angled ball forward towards him is cut out by a slightly desperate lunge from Jemal.
68 min Oooh - oh so close to a fourth for Young Boys there, as Bienvenu rises unmarked at the back post to meet a delivery from the right, but he's leaning back ever so slightly and the ball whistles just over.
70 mins Bassong has picked up a yellow card - not entirely sure what for but I believe it was an incident where the referee decided to play the advantage.
71 mins Bassong, perhaps taking out a little frustration from that booking, lets fly with a very hopeful drive from a little way outside the area that screws away to the left off his boot and wide of the near post.
72 mins And now Bienvenu picks up a yellow for pulling Kranjcar back as the Tottenham player looked to make his way across the half-way line.
73 mins Affolter needs treatment after a late challenge from Keane. "In response to Stephen Hamilton on 46 minutes: what's the point of hating Spurs or any other club if you don't indulge in schadenfreude," demands Julian Wilson. "Does he just go round with clenched teeth and a scowl all the time?"
75 mins Oh what a ball that was from Bale. From out on the left and fully 10 yards behind the run Pavlyuchenko was making through the middle, Bale swings a stunning ball forward and right to the penalty spot that the Russian is inches away from. Bale has undoubtedly been Tottenham's best player tonight for me.
77 mins The game has become a little bogged down in the last quarter of an hour or so - in relative terms at least, when you compare it to the pace at which it had been played. You get the impression Young Boys are trying to play out time now, which I dare say might be a mistake.
79 mins Rory Delap eat your heart out - Bale lofts a huge long-throw in towards the six-yard box and Young Boys make an absolute mess of it - Wolfli flapping at the near-post flick-on and grateful only to a missed connection from Kranjcar at the back post with the goal at his mercy. Young Boys break at speed, though, Degen breaking away down the left before cutting a ball back from the goalline that comes all the way to Schnewly, but his first-time effort is palmed over by Gomes.
81 mins Oh my word - two huge, huge let-offs for Tottenham. First Palacios's woeful backpass puts Gomes in all sorts of trouble on the edge of his box - Bienvenu beating him to the ball but forcing himself wide with a loose touch in the process. He then nudges it to Degen, who might well have got a penalty had he gone down under the challenge from Bassong, but instead cuts it back to Schneuwly, who volleys just over with Gomes stranded.
GOAL! Young Boys 3-2 Tottenham (Pavlyuchenko 83 mins) Unbelievable. Just when it seemed Young Boys were the more likely side to score here in the latter stages, Pavlyuchenko is set free down the right after a one-two with Keane and he just wallops the ball into the roof of the net at the near post. Very similar to the goal David Ngog scored against Arsenal on Sunday, and - just like that goal - you would probably say the keeper should have done better. That may well be the goal that defines the tie.
85 mins I think that one's probably swung the tie in Tottenham's favour ... Young Boys suddenly look very, very tired.
87 mins To a chorus of whistles, Tottenham roll the ball gently back and forth inside their own half. An equaliser tonight would be nice, but clearly it's not a priority.
89 mins The match is now totally without energy - Tottenham unwilling to take any more chances, Young Boys too exhausted to chase them.
90 mins David Degen is coming off, to be replaced by Marco Raimondi. Degen looks like a man who has just run three marathons. We'll have two minutes of injury time.
90 mins (+1) Bale (yup, him again) gets in behind the Young Boys' defence down the left one more time, cutting it back to Pavlyuchenko, who turns and drives first-time into the side netting.
Peep! Peep! Peep! One minute and 40 seconds into the two minutes of added time, referee Frank De Bleeckere blows for full-time - safe in the knowledge that nothing would have happened in those last 20 seconds anyway. What a wild and thoroughly enjoyable game of foootball that was. The second leg at White Hart Lane next week should be well worth watching, but after that Pavlyuchenko goal I'd definitely make Tottenham the favourites. Anyway, that's it from me. Thanks for all your emails, sorry I couldn't use more.

A Crimson Tide Of Ink
MOVIEFONE INVESTORS ARE not exactly dialing for dollars lately. Since the theater-and-showtimes phone service went public in May, 1994, its stock has lost more than half its value, recently trading at 43/8.
One problem is that the New York-based company has continued to run red ink as it expands. MovieFone used the $28.5 million proceeds from the initial public offering to expand from 10 to 25 major markets, a costly endeavor.
Mostly, however, CEO Andrew Jarecki thinks Wall Street doesn't understand the way that the company makes money. When people dial MovieFone--777-FILM in many places--the call is free. The bulk of the revenue comes from a 30-second ad for flicks that people must listen to before they get what they called for.
Jarecki is sure a summer of hit films will make the quarter that ended on June 30 profitable, pleasing the stock market. If so, call it fade to black.

He shot to stop the threat.:brutal7::hand9:
Well done, I'd say. Circumspect, kept behind a locked door, kept his wits, then took steps to erase the threat. The more one hears of such situations, the more sensible videocam coverage around the house sounds.Quote:

I'm in this camp on this..
Why in the name of all that is holy are you opening the door at that time of the morning?
I'd be nervouis opening it for someone I knew at that time of the day, for fear they were being used as a human shield/excuse to get to me.
Quick thinking allowed him to slam the door and poke a few holes in the door.
Bet it was real quiet in the thugs car on the way home after that.
This took place in a very rural area. It's still normal to wave as you pass other drivers, help stranded tourists, and actually know everyone in a five mile radius of your home (provided some one actually lives within five miles of you). That said, the three guys doing this are living on borrowed time as everyone will be looking for them. My bet is that they will be identified within the next two days... You can't do this type of crime in a small community.

Tourism Hotline : 1912(Hotline service is only available when dialed within Sri Lanka)
A famous botanist once declared that Sri Lanka is simply one big botanical garden, nurtured by Nature itself. Yet when the British colonials arrived in Sri Lanka in the 19th century, they were determined to establish more gardens within this garden – man-made botanical gardens cloned from the mother Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in England.
In 1821 on the site of a pleasure garden first created in about 1371 for the King of Kandy. The British established the gracious Royal Botanic Gardens of Peradeniya. Another garden was set up in the hill country, established in 1861 at Hakgala south of Nuwara Eliya. And in 1876, yet another garden was established, this time in the lowlands at Henarathgoda, the Gampaha Botanic Gardens, designated for the trial planting of the country's first Rubber trees. Other private gardens such as the famous Lunuganga and "Brief", designed by world-renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa and his brother landscape artist Bevis Bawa, bring to life the paradisiacal charm that is refreshingly Sri Lanka's.
Sri Lanka's botanical gardens are a showcase of the country's botanical treasures and are botanical gems deserving the same admiration and wonder as the country's famed sapphires and emeralds.

Having spent a short while setting up the SoundStation3 it seems like an appropriate time to actually check out its performance. Having exhausted myself with the strenuous removal of polystyrene from a box I figured that it would be a good time to relax, chill out and chuck some light entertainment onto my PlayStation. Obviously that meant checking out a Blu-ray film of some sort and if you ask me they don't get any more lightly entertaining than Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. Although not anywhere near as immersive as a full 5.1-channel setup the SoundStation3 did put on a reasonable show of itself, managing to maintain a good balance between the low and mid ranges, although lacking slightly in the bass regions.
Switching over to the brilliant Casino Royale and things were very similar. Speaking subjectively one criticism I do have is that the Movie equalizer mode actually made the experience worse, but moving back to Game mode sorted that out and I'd happily concede that if I had the choice between standard TV speakers and the SoundStation3 I'd chose the later every time.
After getting my adrenaline going admiring Daniel Craig's manliness and Eva Green's… um… Eva Green-ness, I decided it was time to switch over to some music. To help with this area of testing I enlisted the assistance first of Kelly Clarkson's debut Breakaway. Playing the balladic titular track highlighted to me that those wanting to listen to vocally biased music may want to look elsewhere, as the SoundStation3 doesn't offer quite the level of audio clarity required for such material. However, switching to some more rocky fare, in the works of a little known (and unsigned band) named Star Scream I found the speakers were a lot less disappointing. The bass heavy track Death Shower Scene (which you can listen to on the band's website) for example, managed to hold up fairly well(although definitely not bettering them I might add) in comparison to the Shure SE420s on which I usually enjoy my music - as one would expect from a much larger speaker set.
Lastly I switched over to Paramore's Riot! which boats a fantastic combination of punk rock-esque music and the brilliant voice of lead singer Hayley Williams. Pleasingly the SoundStation3 again managed to meet my expectations. I would also note that the playback of the same MP3 file using the PlayStation 3 was definitely preferable using my iPhone, so bear in mind that you'll want a reasonably high powered input source to get the most out of these speakers.
Comparing again to the Gigaworks T40s I'd still have to say that the Creative speakers have the advantage when it comes to clarity, while the Logic3s take the crown if you're after something with a bit more kick in the bass regions, thanks to the dedicated subs. For the best results, I'd recommend using the treble and bass adjustments on the remote rather than relying on the reset equalizer setting. In fact without this ability the sound quality score above would almost certainly be a seven rather than an eight.
Last of all in my testing run, I figured it was about time I got myself another fix of Drakes Fortune and Ratchet and Clank, which, in case I still haven't enforced my opinion enough in other articles, are far and away the best games available to play on Sony's much-maligned console. Both these titles were accompanied by pleasing audio quality, and I found myself enjoying the hilarious Groovatron weapon in Ratchet and Clank all the more for the enhanced audio over a standard set of TV speakers. Uncharted, meanwhile, became far more immersive with grenade explosions and gunfire nicely distinguishable from the (surprisingly good) voice acting, and great music.
Ultimately the intended audience of the SoundStation3, which I figure as being semi-casual users looking to improve on the performance of their TV speakers without whishing to invest in an expensive 'decent' setup, won't be disappointed by the Logic3s and for the price they don't really have the right to expect anything better.
All things considered the Logic3 SoundStation3 offer a consistently above average level of performance only let down by the dubiously stylish design, which I feel is very much a love it or hate it affair. Yes in some situations something like the Gigaworks T40s will sound better, but they're also about £20 more expensive. Thus, for the £60 asking price I don't think the SoundStation3 is a bad investment for PS3 owners looking to get that little bit more than TV speakers can provide, just don't expect earth-shattering results.

* Prices may differ from that shown
(Be advised, this is a 'layman's' review!)
I have owed my Lumix for around a year now and it has definitely become my trusty friend.
Like all friends it has its good and bad points.
- Compact and lightweight
- Nice design with choice of colours
- Quick response (there is probably a technical term for this but what I mean is that for a digital camera you can point and shoot without a big delay)
- Focuses easily and user friendly so if you want it to re-focus or focus on something else this is easy to do. Like with most cameras it involves a half-press of the shutter so you can see what it is focussing on.
- Functions and menus are straightforward eg turning auto-flash on and off etc. I have no patience for this type of thing but easily worked out how to turn on all the little features like if you are taking pics at night, or the panorama gismo where you take a picture, line it up and move along to take a second and third, creating an aligned panorama with 3 pics.
- Of course it has an Intelligent Auto system so you don't have to do any of the above if you don't want to.
- I find the battery lasts ages
- Video function which is easy to use.
- Good quality pictures and zoom which transfer to good quality files on my PC
- The dial mode selector is easily dislodged which can be frustrating if you want to take a picture QUICK and then discover it has switched to a non-picture taking mode, or the wrong mode etc. This for me is the biggest negative point.
- Although the battery lasts a while the indicator changes from full to empty very fast which has caught me out a few times.
- The E-zoom is not good quality, but then I believe this is the case with any compact digital?
- It is very 'flash-happy' which is not a great problem as you can of course turn off the auto-flash, but if on auto I do find it tends to want to use the flash when there is plenty of natural light so I often have to turn it off when I would have happily otherwise used the intelligent auto function and let the camera do the work.
This is our 'secondary' camera which we take along when we just need a point and shoot, rather than the Nikon SLR we have which takes a better quality picture but of course is MUCH bigger. it does the job well and all in all I would recommed it.
I love this camera, only the second digital camera ive ever had but still, its much much better than my first one, i dont think theres any negatives too it, maybe the price if your looking for somthing cheap, but my advice would always be to spend that extra few pounds on somthing thats going to work well, and for the price of this you get everything you need.
12.1 megapixels, i think that the highest you can go isnt it? and for the price thats really good in my eyes.
I find it really easy to use, simple menu layout, and not like some cameras where you accidently press a button and it deletes all your photos!!, not good! i also think its really cute looking, not that the appearence of your digital camera is a massive thing. Overall i really good product, i wouldnt be anywhere with out mine, use it all the time.
Oh and forgot to metion about conecting to computer, un like some cameras, the photos actually turn out like what they look like on the little screen, maybe that becuase its high mega pixels i dont know, but overall i love this camera.
The lumix DMC ZX1, is typical of what we've all come to expect from Panasonic. Good solid chasis, strong build quality, not to mention cutting edge specs.
Firstly it comes with a 8x optical zoom (this means the lens will extend to the power of 8 manually) this is ideal for familys who go on excursions, e.g safari and need a powerful lens to get closer to the subject.
8X optical zoom is well above the average for a compact camera, and I applaude Lumix for keeping the large lens in a less than large body.
Leica is the german brand who make the lens, arguably the best lens maker in the business! It also comes with an ultra 25mm wide angle lens , meaning you can get more in the shot, (great for panaoramic shots, vistas and landscapes!)
The menus are clear and intuitive to use, it takes (as is standard now) a normal sd card. Unique features such as flash burt mode prove a whizz to use and yield suprisingly good results even in low level lighting.
As a final point, this particular model does indeed support movie mode, and the results when played back I found quite startling, black levels seemed natural and edge detail was very crisp!
All in all a fine balanced camera.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC - ZX1 is a great point and shoot camera. Its small, slim design allows you to take this camera anywhere. It fits neatly into a back trouser pocket, so you will never miss a moment again. I was impressed by the large LCD screen that is incorporated into such a small camera. Its quality is sharp and allows you to navigate around the cameras functions with ease. The build quality of the camera seems sturdy and is finished quite neatly.
Overall I was impressed by the quality of the images taken. The colours are vivid and sharp, and the 8 x Optical Zoom Ultra Wide-angle lens allows you to get right up close on your subject and doesn't distort when taking the picture.
This Panasonic Lumix DMc - ZX1 is a fantastic camera for its price bracket, and is simple to use. (What more could you want out of a point and shoot) My only bad point about this camera is the battery does not seem to last long, and spare batteries are expensive.
Panasonic Lumix is a great quality camera and the pictures definitely do come out really sharp and captures the scenery the best I have seen it! I'm really impressed with the quality and it was definitely worth buying - good price!
Although I must say I don't think it is true that it's for people who don't know how to use a camera as it's not as straight forward as it could be! I found that at times despite holding down the button halfway till the green light comes on the picture came out awkward or fuzzy. I found it doesn't work so great at night time as the pictures don't fully capture the scenery as well as you would like! I think you need plenty of practice before you master it especially if you're not great with digital cameras!
Oh I love the video function on this - it's brilliant quality and captures it as it really is so you can really appreciate those holiday moments again and feel like you're there!! One issue I found was that the battery runs out fast it doesn't go a full day without needing a charge - only downside though!
Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX1
12.1 Megapixels
8 x Optical Zoom
Ultra Wide-angle lens
This is by all means a perfectly good compact digital camera that takes nice pictures at high megapixels and looks nice, with a large display screen on the back. It lacks in zoom and the picture quality isn't the greatest for its price range.
I have been using this camera for around a year and a half now and although it has a good wide angle lens that can take good landscape pictures but lacks in taking good quality portraits.
When taken onto a PC, the photos are high resolution and displayed at a good quality and although i've never printed pictures from it on photo paper, the normal prints work very well and are suprisingly high quality for what I have used previously.
Reliability-wise this camera is one of the best i've ever used. It had never broken, the battery life is really great and there have never been any problems with it. Again with the ease of use, this camera is perfect, with only a few buttons and user-friendly menus. I really reccommend this camera to someone who does not have much previous experience with cameras.
The features let this camera down slightly. For the proce you pay, there are many things that could be included although I believe this is mainly down to the fact that it is not meant for professional photography and just as a personal digital compact.
As I said before, within this price range, there are other cameras that provide a better picture quality and if this is what is most important, then it may be an idea for you to browse the market a little more.
Overall, this camera was a good purchase and the only problem I had personally is that I overpaid for it due to it's recent release then and now it has come down in price, I reccommend it as a camera for purely personal use and not so much for high-grade professional looking photography. A good purchase and highly reliable.

According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, 6 billion gallons of drinking water are lost every day, thanks in large part to old, leaky pipes and mains; the amount would be sufficient to serve the population of the state of California.
The topic of detecting and repairing leaks as early as possible took center stage at a session during the International City/County Management Association's 91st Annual Conference in September.
"It's important that we take every possible step to eliminate the loss of this precious resource," said Wayne Morgan, vice president of the northeast region for American Water, Voorhees, N.J.

Live updates
Boston survivor: Son and fiancee 'reason I fought to live'
Marc Fucarile, the last Boston Marathon survivor to leave hospital after the twin bombings, has told ITV News his fiancee and son Gavin were "the reason I fought to live",
"That little boy is my life ... I just couldn't think about not being with them," Mr Fucarile, who will marry his fiancee Jennifer Regan later this week, said.
"I wasn't going to let him grow up without a dad, I was going to fight no matter what," he added.
Mr Fucarile and his family created their own crowd funding website, Help Marc Fucarile, which has generated more than $190,000 (£113,700) so far.
Boston Marathon bomb attacks: One year on
As Boston prepares to mark one year on from the marathon bomb attacks, ITV News asks how are the survivors coping?Read the full story ›
Boston Marathon survivor calls for death penalty
A Boston Marathon bombings survivor has told ITV News those responsible for the attacks should be handed the death penalty.
Marc Fucarile, who lost his right leg above the knee and broke his spine, Washington Correspondent Robert Moore: "You know they're sick, sick people. They killed people that didn't do anything to them and I think they should pay the ultimate sacrifice.
"I think that anyone that thinks in that direction should also pay the sacrifice".
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died in a shoot-out with police four days after the attacks, and his brother Dzhokhar have been accused of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombings.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to 30 charges.
Boston bombings survivor 'lucky' to be alive
A Boston Marathon bombings survivor has told ITV News he feels "unbelievably lucky" to be alive.
Marc Fucarile, who spent 100 days in hospital following the blasts last year, told Washington Correspondent Robert Moore: "I looked at a picture - right next to me there was a piece of metal fencing ... bent at a 90 degree angle around the mailbox."
Mr Fucarile said the fact he was still here with just one leg missing "is amazing."
"I have no idea how I can still talk, think, walk ... I'm definitely lucky," he added.
Boston bombing report cites information lapses
Information that may have raised US scrutiny of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev fell through the cracks in communications among US intelligence agencies and between the United States and Russia, an inspectors general report released today showed.
US intelligence was alerted by Russian intelligence in 2011 that Tsarnaev might pose a threat, but lack of further information led to less heightened awareness of the danger he posed, said the report by inspectors general for the US intelligence community.
Two Chechen brothers, Tamerlan and his younger brother Dzhokhar, are suspected of planting pressure-cooker bombs near the race's finish line last April 15 in an attack that killed three people and wounded more than 260.
Tamerlan died after a gunfight with police while the younger brother is awaiting trial on charges that could lead to the death penalty if he is convicted.
US seeking death penalty for Boston suspect Tsarnaev
US prosecutors will seek the death penalty for Boston Marathan bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement today.
"The nature of the conduct at issue and the resultant harm compel this decision," Holder said.
Prosecutors say that Tsarnaev, 20, and his brother Tamerlan, 26, planted a pair of homemade pressure-cooker bombs at the race's crowded finish line on 15th April 2013, killing three people and wounding 264.
Three nights later, the pair killed a university police officer and later engaged in a shootout with police that left Tamerlan dead, it is alleged.
Mobster 'Whitey' Bulger sentenced to two life terms
Convicted mobster James 'Whitey' Bulger has been sentenced to two life terms plus five years in prison after being found guilty of gangland crimes including 11 murders.
District Judge Denise Casper told Bulger, now 84: "The scope, the callousness, the depravity of your crimes are almost unfathomable.
"Your crimes are made all the more heinous because they are all about money."

Honesty pays off for homeless man who returned $42,000
More than $122,000 (£76,030) has been raised for a homeless man who handed a backpack stuffed with cash that he found to police.Read the full story ›
Police photographer releases Tsarnaev capture stills
A police photographer who documented the unfolding drama of the hunt and capture of Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has released a full set of images to Boston Magazine.
Sergeant Sean Murphy released a small number of the photographs to the magazine in July because he was "furious" with the way Tsarnaev had been portrayed on the cover of Rolling Stone.
Boston Magazine has now published around 50 of the striking photographs taken by Sergeant Murphy, who was suspended and then moved to nightshifts as an apparent punishment.
Ex-Boston mob boss was inspiration for The Departed
James 'Whitey' Bulger, once the most feared mobster in Boston who was found guilty today of 31 out of the 32 criminal charges he faced including 11 killings, was the inspiration for Jack Nicholson's character in The Departed.
The Martin Scorsese film, which also starred Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Wahlberg and Ray Winstone, won four Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director.
The plot centres around the police waging war on an Irish-American Boston gang which is headed by Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson).

It is completely sad what happened to Hector, but this situation could happen to ANYBODY....ryan hehir IS NOT A MURDERER, someone wrote, he will kill again!!! what are you talking about???? you think this was all planned!?!! Ryan has a son too, and if Hector hit him and Ryan died, im sure Hectors family would have some totally different oppinion on the matter. do not think for one second that ryan is a murderer or intended this to happen, I know him ,he is a good person and a good father, AND one person wrote, why did it take hectors friends so long to get him to an ambulance....if he was so badly hurt, dont u think they would have called 911 ? why did they wait? God bless hectors family, i can only imagine the pain and grief, i feel terrible for you all....I know you are angry, but you need not to mix up your grief with pure anger and hatred trying to put an innocent man in jail. a murder dosnt happen in 3 seconds outside a bar after an argument breaks out, a murder is planned or done somewhere NOT SO PUBLIC Ryan is not a murderer, he is a friend, a father, a good person..if police are saying ryan is the one who hit hector yada yada, this all comes down to someone being strong and a fight that tragically ended up in a death, but like I said, if ryan had hit hector soo hard to "KILL HIM" . Dont you think his brothers would have called 911 or even the bartender or owner of bar if it had looked as serious as it did when hector finally arrived at er? Obviously not a graphic scene, just a fight broke out.....why the hell was hector not in the ER until HOURS after teh fight, obviously his friends didnt think that this punch was hard enough to kill hector, so there you go, ryan didnt put hard srength intending to KILL A MAN, and after hours of hector being "unconcious", why didnt they bring him to ER RIGHT AWAY?? do not point fingers at ryan calling him a murderer saying to drag him out like an animal and beat him, and he will kill again and to lock himm up forever...... im very sorry to hector family, but if your son was being attacked and yelled at by a man who insisted to fight him, and your son fought in self defense, and the man died afer his friends didntbring him to er for hours after teh fight, would you be saying your son was a murderer and deserved to be locked up forever? NO. so you are just judging ryan by his record, so for all you who dont know ryan, he is a good person, good friend, will give the shirt off his back to help you , good father and he and his family do not deserve to read people writing all this crap about him that isnt even true! get your facts straight! Very Very sorry to the Rivera family, sincerely, but please close your eyes and think if the situation was reversed adn your son was in other position you would stand by him, accidnets happen, it wasnt murder, it wasnt intended, You want justice to be served to send an innocent man to prison for MURDER????? murder, are you serious...loook up the defintion of murder in the dictionary, and dont forget to close your eyes and picture this situation reversed. Then write what you think. Dont judge someoe because of their record....you say your son wasnt a drug dealer and ryan has a record of selling drugs, that makes him a killer?? your son may not have been a drug dealer but he was a drug user, not one person is better than the other and none of that has to do with this accident. Please try to cut some slack after the anger level of grief dies down , for the Hehir family.. Im sure you would also be devastated if the situation was reversed. Murderer? You still think? Ryan is a very great person. I know him, and I knew of Hector.. RIP to Hector, and both families: I wish you all the best, RIVERAS:just please try to be reasonable here to Hehir family the way they are being reasonable to your family before you try to 100 percent stand by putting an innocent 23 year old in jail for a bar fight.

Leominster Friend Ryan - You are funny! Ryan is a good friend and a good father and not a murderer? Did he not shoot someone on Mechanic Street a few years back in a "drug deal gone wrong"? Did his son not hit his sister in the head with a hammer?? Hmmm, sounds to me like a murderer and a bad father. This kid is beyond help. Do you realize that since his release on this murder charge he has been arrested again for drug trafficking and resisting arrest in Fitchburg?!?! Hello!!!!
Listen, I am all for someone saying they made a mistake and asking for forgiveness and changing their lives around. But this kid did not say he was sorry and has NOT changed his life. He is still dealing drugs and getting arrested. The life of a loser! Sad! So was he not raised right??? Who knows, but I dont blame his parents for his actions. He is an adult now and can be held responsible for his own actions. It is just unfortunate that his family also has to suffer for his poor choices and have our family suffered. The only things that keeps me going is the thought of Ryan behind bars where he can no longer deal drugs, neglect or be a bad role model for his kids and not kill again, hopefully!
#34 Mar 8, 2011
First of all, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.....RYAN DID NOT SHOOT ANYONE, READ THE PAPERS, IT WAS A DIFFERENT GUY, RYAN DID NOT HAVE A GUN AND DID NOT SHOOT ANYONE...GOOGLE IT IF YOU WISH....HE NEVER WOULD SHOOT AT SOMEONE, YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HIM! and what the hell are you talking about his son hittin his sister in the head with a hammer >> how true do you know that is?? and if it did happen, im sure it was a plastic hammer and kids being kids and how come you are blaming that on him, not the mother, and some kids are bad when they are young ITS NOT ALWAYS THE PARENTS FAULT and thats bullshit his son never did that. You never even met Ryan and your acting like you know everything about him based on what you "hear" , do you know how much shit went on around about Hector, I knew of him too as a drug dealer, heroin crack cocaine dealer... your quick to judge someone and their parenting when your son was on drugs, I KNEW HIM TOO. And seconly, you said since Ryan has been relesed he was been arrested for drug trafficking, read the papers and get your facts straight on that one, and what does that have to do with him being a "KILLER" and he did not get arrested for resisting arrest in Fitchburg, you have no idea what your talking about, I do, so stop making up shit about him. And your saying he hasnt even said sorry, for what, Hector starting a fight and self defense ending terribley? thats a hard scene to facce and say sorry and also, Ryan isnt even 100% linked to this, dont blame someone for something they havnt been found guilty for. Terribly sorry for your loss but you are being ridiculous sayin he wasnt raised right because he is selling drugs and getting arrested.....You are in denial whoever this is about Hector and HIS "loser life" choices, he had cocaine in his system, and probably on him which is why it took so long to get him to ER, hiding his stash maybe hmm..u wanna make assumptions, if u can dish them out, expect to get it back....Hector was no saint with drugs, he was involved in them, all kinds. And has been arrested before as well....you are calling a man a killer because of his RECORD.......THAT IS SOOOO RIDICULOUS! And whatever keeps you going to keep you strong through this grief, I DO WISH YOU THE BEST because this was HORRIBLE , I am in no way trying to belittle your family and the grief, but you are saying that the thought of ryan behind bars not being a drug dealer helps you sleep at night? Do you think if ryan goes to jail there isnt going to be 104320583058395 millionn drug dealers on the streets. THATS LIFE, ITS NOT RYAN hes not pablo f*ckin escobar, and how do u know hes a bad role model for his kids when you NEVER MET HIM, all you know is waht you have heard, media isnt always right and neither are peoples bullshit words. and for u to say hopefully he will not KILL AGAIN, WOW....u really dont get it do u???? RYAN DIDNT F*CKIN KILL ANYONE.......... WHAT IF YOU WERE DRIVING AND SOMEONE JUMPED IN FRONT OF UR CAR ADN U HIT THEM AND THEY DIED, ARE U A MURDERER??? A COLD STONE KILLER? THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS PERSON YOU DONT EVEN KNOW
#35 Mar 8, 2011
and police have not linked ryan to the scene of the fight at all!! Wouldnt you feel terrible watching an innocent man get sent to jail, the wrong guy ?
#36 Mar 10, 2011
Cluess, Nuts , Disagree....I cannot imagine how different your views would be if the situation was reversed, especially when the other person started the fight in the first place.
#38 Mar 11, 2011
stop judging my f*ckin comments and write something rather than hitting that stupid judge button. Anyways, "my very thought" , JUST ME is right, no matter what u dont snitch, especially when she made bullshit UP that wasnt even true
#39 Mar 11, 2011
I guess no matter what you're right. Now I hope you don't go and overdose on crack and pry your crying eyes out with a rusty screwdriver or there will be 3 pieces of shit off the streets instead of two. Have a nice day

Leominster Ryan Friend - It is unfortunate that you are getting so angry and speaking with such vulgar language. Certainly would make anyone question your level of maturity and intelligence. I can understand that you are trying to defend "your friend", but at least you can see and talk to him and hug him when you want. We don't have that luxury anymore. I never blamed his parents for his behavior. Matter of fact, if you read what I wrote carefully I said he is an adult and is responsible for his own actions. I am not saying Hector was innocent but Ryan bragged about what he did, brought Hector's hat home and gave it to his son and then proceeded to hide from the cops instead of coming forward while all his friends from that night were brought in for questioning one by one. So, if he didn't do anything wrong, other than self defense why was he bragging and hiding from the cops?
You know what, it doesn't matter. Justice will be served and Karma will prevail. He may not have gone out with the intentions of murder, but there is a family left without a son, brother, father, uncle and cousin due to his actions and he does need to pay for that.
I hope he does clean himself up for the sake of his family. When people like himself make the choices that they do the family suffers right along with them unfortunatley.
And for those of you who think this girl shouldn't have snitched... How would you feel if your loved one was taken from you and someone knew who did it but they didn't talk? When you lose someone you love you appreciate the good in people who come forward and help justice prevail.
#41 Mar 14, 2011
Leominster Ryan Friend - I am very sorry you can not hold and hug you loved one. I cant even imagine. Maybe I am not seeing it from your shoes, I do feel terrible for your loss, all I wanted to do on here was to let you know that Ryan isnt a murderer or what you think he is, honestly.... and you said " I am not saying Hector was innocent but Ryan bragged about what he did, brought Hector's hat home and gave it to his son and then proceeded to hide from the cops instead of coming forward while all his friends from that night were brought in for questioning one by one. So, if he didn't do anything wrong, other than self defense why was he bragging and hiding from the cops?"
Well, I MUST tell you know...you said you want people to speak up when they know something....RYAN NEVER BRAGGED. NEVER. and HE did not bring a hat home to his son, His "babymama" Alicia is CRAZY and lies and that is why I said it was ridiuclous for her to LIE to the police.... The only reason why I am on here is to show you that Ryan is not the person you think...... Please understand that. I am SO sorry for your loss, I have lost MANY people close to me and its the worst feeling in the world..... And to answer our second question, Ryan didnt RUN from the cops or hide from them,they showed up and arrested him a month later and he was confused out of his mind. He didnt know what was going on....so how can someone run from cops when they dont even know they are being chased? If I were you, and I thought Ryan did this, brought a hat home to his son and bragged, ID SPIT ON RYAN. He didnt. There are two sides to every story. And like I siad im just here trying to clear up any misunderstandings that lead you to believe Ryan is a murderer...who bragged....DEFINITELY NOT.
you wrote "You know what, it doesn't matter. Justice will be served and Karma will prevail. He may not have gone out with the intentions of murder, SEEEEEEE! YOU JUST ADMITTED IT RIGHT THERE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH......HE MAY NOT HAVE GONE WITH THE INTENTION OF MURDER, see we are MAKING PROGRESS IN COMMUNICATING RIGHT NOW, BEFORE U WERE SCARED FOR HIM TO BE ON STREETS FOR HE WILL "KILL AGAIN".....I THINK NOW YOU ARE STARTING TO REALIZE THIS WORLD IS CRAZY, TERRIBLE THINGS HAPPEN, MISTAKES, THINGS THAT MAKE THE PIT OF YOUR STOMCH TWIST AND TURN, ITS EASY TO TAKE GRIEF OUT ON SOMEONE....AND I DO TOO.....AND I KNOW THIS MAY SOUND SOOOOOOO BAD, BUT HOW DO U THINK RYAN FEELS? U THINK HE DOSNT CARE DONT YOU? YOU DONT KNOW HIM. PLESE REMEMBER THAT...THAT IS ALL IM GOING TO SAY ABOUT THAT INCIDENT THAT NIGHT, JUST KNOW, U HAVE HIM, AND HIS FEELINGS ALL WRONG....oops I had my capitals on im sorry....
you said "but there is a family left without a son, brother, father, uncle and cousin due to his actions and he does need to pay for that." I feel so terrible for your loss, I REALLY DO!, I just want you to turn the situation around, would you want your son to pay for it? Tell me PLEASE...
you said "I hope he does clean himself up for the sake of his family.:"---so do I.
you said :When people like himself make the choices that they do the family suffers right along with them unfortunatley. YOUR EXACTLY RIGHT.
And for those of you who think this girl shouldn't have snitched... How would you feel if your loved one was taken from you and someone knew who did it but they didn't talk? When you lose someone you love you appreciate the good in people who come forward and help justice prevail.---its not about snitching, it about lying.....she lied about the hat and lied about alot of things. Thats all I am trying to get your family to realize.....I cant imagine how your days are getting through them, everyday must be a struggle and I pray for your family, I am truley sorry , I AM....I just wanted to clear up misunderstandings you had about Ryan.

I guess no matter what you're right. Now I hope you don't go and overdose on crack and pry your crying eyes out with a rusty screwdriver or there will be 3 pieces of shit off the streets instead of two. Have a nice day
Wow....for someone who names their post MANNERS, that was real nice, and for the record, you sound like your on crack....what are you talking about pry my eyes out with a rusty screwdriver..sounds like you need some help...I am not on crack, im trying to take the false accusations out of this terrible tragedy. I know who the other 2 pieces of shits you are referring too, butttt if your referring to me as the 3rd to get off the streets...Im not on the streets.
#43 Mar 14, 2011
FED UP WROTE:to the family who lost a wonderful man, im sorry. but to wish the same fate for someone else? maybe the families are to blame. it makes me sick reading all of these posts. havent we lost enough? give this man his life back, and i promise he make something of it. what if the same thing happened to hector.. what if he got in some stupid bar fight, and ryan went home in the ambulance. how would you feel, everyone calling hector a murderer.. tell me that you wouldnt try to defend him, tell me you try to reach out to the family who lost there son,brother,father... put yourself in someone elses shoes. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.. a horrible accident. and someone lost their life. but how could you say hes a murderer and has to bear the burden for the rest of his life. a young man, who has everything ahead of him.. it could have been anyone, and it was one punch. ONE. he didnt take the pole stick out with him, or a crowbar, hes not a killer. he didnt shoot him, he didnt beat him, no one helped him. he defended himself, one punch. god has greater plans for us than we could ever imagine
#44 Mar 14, 2011
I'm sorry and I guess I may have been a little out of line. I wasn't refering to you so please don't take it personal. The last thing I would want is for you to take your welfare check stubs tie them into a rope put them around your neck attach them to a car and be dragged down the street. He may be a relative but he is also a murderer. Have a nice day.
#45 Mar 14, 2011
Leominster Ryan Friend - One punch? I think not. Have you read the medical examiner's report? I understand you are trying to get Ryan's side "out there" but let's see what the judge has to say, the trial is right around the corner, May 23rd. We'll see the DNA results, medical examiner's report... I understand that the shoe could have been on the other foot, but it isn't and we will never get to hug, kiss or hold Hector again. We'll never get to say happy birthday or I love you to him or hear him say it to us again. I have to hope and trust that there will be some justice whether it was an accident or not. There is a reaction to every action, there is a consequence for everything whether it was intentional or not. Good thing for you and your friends and Ryan's family is that even if he is behind bars for any length of time you can still tell him happy birthday and I love you. We don't have that opportunity and never will.
Manners - You made me giggle just a little. That was kind of funny.
#47 Mar 17, 2011
Manners...you dont even know me, welfare checks? You assume I am on welfare because I know Ryan, that is funny....and RUDE AS HELL... your pretty much saying you wouldnt care if I KILLED MYSELF or died.......and your calling someone else a murderer. If you drove down the road and someone jumped out and you hit him with ur car, you would get charged manslaughter if he died. This was a friggan FIGHT , a murderer is a sick person that intends to kill a person, hector started a fight, they fought, something terrible happened...maybe it wouldnt if his friends didnt wait 4 hours to bring him to ER.
and family member u said I understand that the shoe could have been on the other foot, but it isn't and we will never get to hug, kiss or hold Hector again., U JUST SAID U UNDERSTOOD THAT HECTOR COULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING, AND THE SHOE WOULD BE ON THE OTEHR FOOT.....what would you do if your son did that, call him a murderer? Especially if Ryan came over to him and started the fight when he was trying to play pool and mind his business? This is pointless. Trial was March 10. Hes in Jail, happy ?
#48 Mar 17, 2011
Yeah you are right, he will pay for the shit he has done, the CRIMINAL STUFF, but this was an accident. IM DONE arguing here, im not saying ryan is a saint, HES NOT, NO ONE IS, but accidents happen and to call him a MURDERER is CRAZY, it was a man on man FIGHT and something bad happened!! something terrible! RYAN DIDNT START THE FIGHT! How can you call someone a murderer who was tryin to play pool and mind his business?
#49 Mar 17, 2011
Manners---you make NO F**********CKIIINNNGGGGGGG SENSE!!!!! tie welfare checks into a rope and put them around my neck and attach them to a car to be dragged down street....... u have like NO INTELLIGENCE, why didnt u just say, "go kill yourself", you cant tie welfare stubs around your neck and attach them to a car, your weird analogies are NOT funny and they make NOOO SENSE,, and you are so rude. HES NOT A MURDERER, and if you keep saying that, KARMA is going to kick u in the ass for real because RYAN DIDNT GO TO THAT BAR INTENDING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE!!!!!!!!! a MURDERER KILLS SOMEONE FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH NEED!!!! manslaughter is what hes charged for right....which by definition means ACCIDENT not M U R D E R, read a friggan dictionary, or better yet, stop writing because all the stuff you write is so weird , rusty screws and welfare stubs? I make ALOT of money and live in a beautiful house....dont judge someone because you read the newspaper about a manslaughter case .....you dont know him ,or me, so shut the f up for real, u are so rude and the stuff you say is TERRIBLE

Yep..."bigbaddaboom" exactly the same here. I'm 55, was tired, no energy, grouchy for no reason. Was diagonosed with type II diabetes last june 2nd, put on Glipizide and Metformin and supplemented with "Androgel" 8 pumps a day. Proved not to be enough and she added a 1.8mg "Victozin" injection daily. The improvement was almost immediate. After 1 year I'm down to 4 pumps of Androgel" and feel like I did 20 years ago.
I put off going to the DR. for a couple of years, I knew "something" wasn't right. I was just dreading what I would find out, and although it wasn't good news, it wasn't horrible, and was very easily treated. I guess what I'm trying to say is...it's nothing to mess around with. And like most things, left untreated it will only get waaaaay worse.

I have searched and can not find a specific after to this question. I am using a new HD install of BT4 (pre) Final and an ALFA AWUS036H and try to start airodump-ng (ran airmon-ng start wlan1 -- prior to setup monitor) and receive this error;
ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80122,
ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead. Make
sure RFMON is enabled: run 'airmon-ng start wlan1 <#>'
Sysfs injection support was not found either.
I see lots of issues with the drivers for RTL8187. Are the RTL8187 drivers installed in BT4 working? Should I revert to BT3 drivers?

Hi CHMOD,
I think I have a solution for you, unlike the previous poster who probably does not have a clue on the answer either.
Try using airmon-ng start wlan# (# is the number of the interface.)
If you're using the Alfa USB device and have an internal card, the Alfa will most likely be wlan1. Determine this through iwconfig.
Then you can use airodump-ng mon# (once again # is the number of the interface in monitor mode. Most likely mon0.) The airmon-ng command will give you this information you seek.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Its amazing that the time some people take to reply with such cr@p they could have at least gave a hint or a USEFUL point in the right direction. When we all help each other answer questions, no matter how dumb they may seem, we help everyone as a whole. This will help bring LINUX to the forefront of other OSes.

In late 2009, to replace the issuing of Picture Australia postcards, an account with Zazzle was set up for Picture Australia contributors to sell collection images on a small range of merchandise. Although it is still possible to see what those images were, the purchasing has been disabled as there have been few sales in recent years.
As part of the integration of Picture Australia into Trove, we will investigate a link between the Trove buy option and your collection. More details will be provided when they become available.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Freshman Nathan Kraisser became the second Tar Heel to earn ACC Wrestler of the Week this season as he was tabbed for the honor Tuesday.
Kraisser went 2-0 on the weekend with a pair of impressive wins over top 10 opponents.
Friday saw Kraisser claim an 8-5 win over Virginia's Matt Snyder who entered the week ranked No. 7 in the country. Kraisser opened the first period with a 5-2 lead after the first period before adding a takedown in the final period for the win.
The 125-pounder made it two for two in upset victories on Saturday as he jumped out to a big lead on No. 4 Jarrod Garnett of Virginia Tech in the first period. Kraisser added an escape in the second period and a takedown in the third to claim the 9-2 win over Garnett.
With Friday and Saturday's wins, the 13th-ranked Kraisser defeated the two wrestlers who have won the last three ACC Championships in the 125-pound weight class.
Kraisser joins Evan Henderson who claimed the honor on Nov. 13.
The Tar Heels return to action this weekend when they travel to Maryland to take on Navy on Friday and Maryland on Saturday.

Why dragons? I'm not quite sure. One day I had a craving for dragon images, and started doing some research. I discovered that in some cultures, dragons had been a symbol of the Divine Feminine, at least before they were vilified. This first dragon I made was brass with a kyanite at its core.
I love the culture of the Silk Road lands, from China, Mongolia, and India, through Central Asia, and on to Turkey and North Africa.
Here I am, the mad scientist, trying to figure out the best way to etch sterling silver, copper, and brass. Eventually, after using some hazardous chemicals, I settled on a method that involves running electricity through a chemical bath while the piece is suspended in it. At first I used an old car battery charger,
I like big. I like plenty of "canvas," so to speak, to create my designs. Rings are small. So it's been a challenge to come up with interesting ring styles that give me a sense of freedom to play as I'm making them. But eventually I created some swirly rings that are fun to craft
One of the joys of my work is seeing how my designs evolve as I make them over and over. I like this soldered and polished version of the phoenix even better than my earlier riveted and textured ones. Stay tuned for one with faceted marquise-shape peridots, coming in January 2015.
Somewhere, inside a volcano on an island in Indonesia, our planet has been busy making its newest stone. It's called bumblebee jasper, and the intense yellow is caused by arsenic and sulfur. It was recently featured in Lapidary Journal – Jewelry Artist, and someone even mentioned that some of the specimens stink like rotten eggs,
I love to draw henna patterns. In the world of henna designs, there are no mistakes. If I 'accidentally' draw something I didn't plan, it just becomes incorporated into the larger picture. For quite a while, I've been yearning for a way to incorporate the freedom and joy I feel when quickly drawing freehand henna
I'm a jewelry artist fraud, and I'm gonna be found out. Do you know that feeling that you're a fraud in some creative area of your life, like calling yourself "a writer" or "a dancer"? It sounds so – well – audacious. Like who am I to say I'm a jewelry artist? I don't have
Most belly dancers I know love peacocks and peacock feathers. Drawings of peacocks and their feathers are iconic in henna patterns. A few years ago, I was asked if I would create a pendant based on a photo of a henna design that a client received in India. She had some little sapphires that we
I had an interesting piece of azurite-malachite, the blue and green stone in the photo, that I'd been wondering where it belonged. And I had a pendant design, inspired by henna motifs, that I'd drawn ages ago. One day the two things came together in my mind, and here's the result. Then as I so
Because I'm a belly dancer, and belly dancers like sparkle and shine, I tend to want to make pieces that are bold and chunky and have some heft to them. But the price of sterling silver can be a challenge, which has nudged me in the direction of working with copper and brass. On this
For this pendant I chose seraphinite, the stone associated with a lovely image of the Spirit of Sophia, (Wisdom), draped in vines, crowned with leaves, and walking through the forest, and white moonstone, radiating strong feminine energy. Then the variations started — seraphinite with garnets:
An iconic flower, the lotus offers so many possibilities for jewelry making. As with so many of my pieces, a client sparked the initial idea. Could I make a larger lotus with a smaller lotus dangling below? Here is that piece, a teardrop-shaped moonstone gracing the upper flower while a blue kyanite forms a petal
These iconic dragon pendants have been so much fun to make that I've made lots! Black druzy, pyrite, carnelian, and amethyst. Let me know what kind of stone you want!
Could I make a wolf howling at the moon? Iconic jewelry at its best! I made the first one with, of course, moonstone, and later made a smaller one using white turquoise. True white turquoise is very rare, and only comes from the Buffalo Mine, hence the name.
I belly dance with my soul sisters in the Anam Cara Dance Company. These pendants are based on our logo, designed by our director. I've made pendants based on the logos of several other troupes. Please contact me if you're interested in creating a pendant from your troupe's logo.
In honor of our Maori sisters and their luscious 'poi' dance, you complete your tribal fusion costume with this copper pendant of the triple twist symbol. A while back, I was contacted by a woman who asked about the possibility of a custom design for two matching triple twist symbols. She sent me a photo
At the Denver Gem & Mineral Show, I bought the most amazing piece of sugilite. It was expensive, and I planned on making it into a piece for myself. I looked at it many times, but a design never came to me. Then, I was asked by the belly dance troupe I dance with if
As so often happens, someone saw a photo on my Facebook page of the larger phoenix pendant I had made for a Denver belly dancer who goes by 'Phoenix,' and asked if I could make a smaller one. The client chose kyanite for the bird's body, and the flames are copper and brass on a
I've made my signature pieces in dozens of different stones, with a variety of finishes such as brushed, textured, or high polish.
Why dragons? I'm not quite sure. One day I had a craving for dragon images, and started doing some research. I discovered that in some cultures, dragons had been a symbol of the Divine Feminine, at least before they were vilified. This first dragon I made was brass with a kyanite at its core.
As sterling silver continues to rise in price, I've been playing with cheaper metals, copper and brass.
There is an amazing belly dancer here in the Denver area who goes by the stage name of Phoenix. She asked me if I could create a phoenix rising from the flames for her, and that request launched me into the making of iconic jewelry: wolves howling at the moon, dragons, medicine wheels, and more.
The process of being asked to make something using stones that someone else picked out, or according to an idea someone else has in their head was quite the learning curve for me. I've learned many good lessons about making something my client loves while still staying within the framework of my own artistic tastes
I spend hours and hours sketching henna designs and playing with placing loose stones on them. Over my first year or so of silversmithing, I came up with several more designs to add to my stock of signature designs. For the most part, these designs use standard sizes of oval or round stones, or the
The process of oxidizing sterling silver is fun because it's pretty hard to control what colors you're going to get. Will the piece come out a rainbow of blues and purples, or almost orange like copper, or will it instantly turn gunmetal gray? Early on in my exploration, I was still working out of our
Rhodochrosite, Colorado's state stone, is bands of white and pink or almost red. Some of them look almost like candy. This early piece became one of my signature designs, and I've since recreated it in many other stones.
My spirit animal is the tiger, and this piece was inspired by the stripes of a tiger slipping silently through long grasses, stalking her prey. I'd love to make this piece using an orange stone called fire citrine instead of the green peridot. Please contact me if you're interested.
When I took my first silversmithing class in 2009, the very first night I took those tools in my hands, I felt like I'd been making jewelry all my life. The saw just fit, the drill felt natural, and I was filled with joy. This pendant was the second project in the class, after a
I sell my work at vending events, an art gallery, and also on my Etsy site, www.MagicCarpetDanceArts.etsy.com.

I can almost always create something similar to one of my past pieces. Contact me if you're interested!
Please feel free to contact me at email@example.com. I can almost always recreate one of my past pieces, and I love custom orders. If you see something on my website that you like, let me know! I'm happy to work with you to find exactly the stone you're looking for, and many of my designs can be tweaked to be larger, smaller, or to accommodate a stone of a slightly different shape.

Mimi Kuo Deemer
Mimi is a senior teacher at triyoga and a faculty member on their two-year teacher training course. She has been a student of yoga since 1995 and an avid lover of dance since 1978, when her mother put her in ballet school for walking with turned-in toes. Mimi mainly teaches a breath and alignment-based vinyasa yoga that is cross-pollinated with aspects of Daoist and Buddhist teachings, but also teaches restorative yoga and qigong. She champions meditation as the answer to just about all of life's most pressing questions, and never underestimates the strength and clarity that yoga can provide at times when life turns grim corners. Her two main teachers in the yoga world, Erich Schiffmann and Donna Farhi, continually humble her with the idea that yoga is the art of living, listening, and learning to embody a deeply spiritual tradition.
Originally from Tucson, Arizona, Mimi moved to Beijing, China upon graduating from Stanford University. She spent 14 years working in journalism in China, primarily as a photojournalist. In 2002 she also co-founded Yoga Yard, the city's first and leading yoga studio, where she taught for 7 years before moving to London. She is now a full-time yoga teacher, part-time photographer, qigong affection-ado and student at SOAS (University of London), where she is pursuing an MA in Traditions of Yoga and Meditation. She is the author of the DVD "Vinyasa Yoga: A Steady, Mindful Practice," and teaches workshops and retreats around the world. www.mkdeemer.comwww.mkdeemer.com

The Navigon 8410 is a nicely designed, premium sat-nav. Had it been released a few years ago, it would have been very competitive. Unfortunately, the battle has now moved onto mobile data-enabled functions. The 8410's sibling the 8450 will be offering these, but we haven't got our hands on that yet. So although this is a 5in widescreen device, its price looks steep next to the cheaper Garmin 1690, which includes a year's live-enabled services.

Internationally bestselling author and ministry leader Angus Buchan is the author of Faith Like Potatoes and the founder of Mighty Men Conferences, which have drawn more than 500,000 attendees to Buchan s Shalom Farm Ministry in South Africa, with additional Mighty Men Conferences drawing thousands more worldwide.
Although Buchan speaks to thousands all over the world, he and his wife, Jill, are simple potato farmers who know what it means to allow God to do more through them than they could ever imagine.
They founded Beth-Hatlaim, a ministry that aims to provide a permanent home for children who have been abandoned or orphaned, with no known relatives. Buchan travels and leads crusades similar to the likes of Billy Graham.
This 365-day devotional will help you see what God can do in your life when you believe big and open your heart. Devotions focus on sharing your faith, serving others, and becoming a little more like Jesus each day.
Living a Mighty Faith by Angus Buchan was published by Thomas Nelson Publishers in May 2016 and is our 9717th best seller. The ISBN for Living a Mighty Faith is 9780718076290.

The good thing is that there are many tutorials online showing you how to convert .flac to .mp3. The bad thing is that most of them use shareware flac converters for Mac, which usually works for a few days before you have to purchase it.
Converting the lossless flac files to mp3 (or any similar format) is necessary for compatibility. For example, iTunes does not play flac files. In this tutorial, however, I will show you how to convert FLAC audio files to MP3 files using a freeware flac converter: All2MP3. All2MP3 works on Mac OS 10.4 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard and 10.6 Snow Leopard, so most users would find the instructions below useful.
If you are a Windows user, you can use dbpoweramp or WinAmp to play flac files.
Tools for conversion
Download All2MP3. It is a .zip file, which you can double-click to get the installer. When the installer is obtained, double-click it and install All2MP3.ADVERTISEMENT
All2MP3 is a free application with a single drag and drop method interface. Upon opening it, you will be presented with a simple window with an option for quality.
Mac OS X application All2MP3 converts FLAC files to MP3
Drag and drop the .flac files that you want to convert. Then, set the Quality at 192 Kbps (standard MP3 is at 128 Kbps, so 192 Kbps would be good quality) and hit All2MP3. Once the conversion is over, you will find the MP3 files in the same location as the original FLAC files.
What is .FLAC
FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Lossless formats have high file size and high quality. Most people prefer .mp3 format because of its lower size and excellent compatibility on various devices.
The good news is that quality difference between .flac and .mp3 is undetectable for most humans. By careful compression, which retains only those frequencies which a human can hear, .mp3 can be nearly as good as .flac files for most purposes.
