Break the chocolate into a glass bowl, then put it over a pan of just simmering water to melt, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Line a lightly oiled 900g loaf tin with cling film.
Whisk the cheese, cream and sugar together, preferably with electric beaters, then stir into the almost-cool melted white chocolate until well combined.
Stir 50g raspberries with 2 tbsp of the jam. Spoon half the cheese mixture into the loaf tin, then spoon the jammy raspberries down the centre. Top with the rest of the cheese mixture, level the top, then press in the biscuits. Cover and chill for 6 hrs or overnight.
Set aside about 6 strawberries. Halve the rest, then warm in a pan with the remaining jam until soft. Whizz in a food processor or with a hand blender, then rub through a sieve to remove the seeds and make a sauce. Add a drop of water if the sauce is too thick.
To serve, carefully turn the tin onto a plate, lift it away and strip off the cling film. Halve the remaining strawberries, then arrange on top of the cake with the remaining raspberries and blueberries (if using). Pour over a little sauce and serve the rest separately for drizzling over.

Hello, as a Minnesota native I have known and loved the Bemidji area since I was a small child. My family has a picture of me posing with Paul and Babe when I was about 3 years old. Northern Minnesota gets and stays in your blood.
As a faculty member with Bemidji State University I look forward to working with students of all ages and backgrounds.
I recently completed my Doctorate of Philosophy in Adult and Post Secondary Education from Capella University. I received my masters degree in nursing from the University of Phoenix, my bachelor degree from Bethel University, my associate degree in science (RN) from Anoka-Ramsey Community College, and my LPN, applied associate of science degree from Anoka Technical College. As you can see I have been and continue to be a life-long learner.
In 2001 I started working as an adjunct clinical instructor for Anoka-Ramsey Community College. I have nursing experience in Medical – surgical, acute care, and maternal newborn. I have also worked as a charge or head nurse and the nursing house supervisor. Prior to joining BSU, I was the Dean of Educational Services, Nursing, PTA and Allied Health for Anoka-Ramsey Community College.
I believe that learning is a process that evolves over time and requires active participation from the learner and the instructor. Reflection and self-analysis are other key components. The three components of hearing, seeing, and doing simply state my theory of learning.
I enjoy reading, quilting, crafts and over the years have raised horses, sheep, operated a dairy farm, raised three children and have tried to see life as an exciting adventure. My children have grown and I have one grand-daughter, Sophia, who delights me every time she is with me.
Recently I completed the American Holistic Nurses Certification and received a certification as an Advanced Holistic Nurse (AHN-BC).
I look forward to being a part of your educational journey, as you will become a part of my journey.

Install ssmtp:
sudo apt-get install ssmtp
Next configure the ssmtp client to send emails using your ISP, open up the file /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf file and make the changes as suggested below:
# # Config file for sSMTP sendmail # # The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000 # Make this empty to disable rewriting. root=postmaster # The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required no # MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com mailhub= # Where will the mail seem to come from? #rewriteDomain= # The full hostname hostname= # Are users allowed to set their own From: address? # YES - Allow the user to specify their own From: address # We would want this to be on so that we can set the from line # from scripts as well. # NO - Use the system generated From: address FromLineOverride=YES AuthUser= AuthPass=
Now, check that you can send emails using the command :

Twenty years after Arnold Schwarzenegger gave Sharon Stone a beatdown in Paul Verhoeven's "Total Recall," Len Wiseman is in final talks to direct a remake of the Philip K. Dick adaptation.
"I've always been fascinated with Philip K. Dick's short story, and I'm excited at that prospect of diving even deeper into the type of world it evokes and the questions it asks. I love that the most crucial mystery our character is trying to solve is the one of his own soul," Wiseman said in a press release sent out by Sony.
Kurt Wimmer, who wrote the current Angelina Jolie spy thriller "Salt," has been hired to write a new script based on Dick's novellette, "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale," about a man who wishes to visit Mars, but lacks the funds. He settles instead for going to a company called Rekal, that promises to implant fake memories of him as a secret agent on the red planet. Things quickly get weird/bad/crazy as they tend to do in Dick's stories.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
After working in the art department on such films as "Godzilla," "Men and Black" and "Independence Day," Wiseman directed the first two "Underworld" movies, before helming the awesomely over-the-top "Live Free or Die Hard."
The first "Total Recall" was fun, if a bit dopey. It's best remembered for the fight between Arnold and Stone, the woman with the half-dozen breasts and Kuato, that super creepy baby-man-thing growing out of the dude's chest.
Yes, the whole reboot thing is overdone, but what's different about this project is that "Total Recall" wasn't a great movie to begin with. Remaking "Psycho" was pointless, you weren't going to make it better. "Total Recall," however...

Ferrari has shown us the 599 roadster--called the SA Aperta--that it will present at the Paris auto show next week.
Eighty SA Apertas will be built--and are all sold already. Ferrari decided to do 80 cars to celebrate Pininfarina's 80th anniversary, while the SA pays homage to Sergio and Andrea Pininfarina, whose company has done some of the more outstanding Ferraris over the years. There is a top, but Ferrari says it's "a light soft top designed to be resorted to only if the weather gets particularly bad."
Full specs will be announced in Paris but we do know the car is powered by a front-mounted V12 from the 599, producing 661 hp. Roll bars integrated into the rear are designed to protect in a rollover.
Ferrari claims the chassis is as stiff as the 599 Coupe. The price hasn't been announced but whispers are that it's in the $500,000 range.

Right-handed starting pitcher — Terry Doyle, Kannapolis (seven games), Winston-Salem (20 games): Doyle grew up in Red Sox Nation, but he's made a nice transition to the Pale Hose. The 6-foot-4 righty went 12-10 with a 2.94 ERA and an organizational-best 157 strikeouts in 168 1/3 innings between two levels. Only Chicago's John Danks (162) had more strikeouts in 2010.
"He's a tremendous competitor, he competes his butt off," said McEwing. "He wants the ball until the end of the ninth. He's able to mix four pitches for strikes at any time and able to locate to all four pitches — it's one of the biggest assets he's got. He competes at a high level and is able to throw four pitches at any time."
The Boston College product was especially nasty at Class A, going 4-2 with a 0.96 ERA in seven starts. He features a fastball, curve, change and a cutter-slider, throwing his heater in the 89-91 mph range with good control. He was promoted mid-season and earned Carolina League Pitcher of the Week honors June 7.
"He's very polished," said McEwing, who helped the Mets reach the World Series in 2000. "He almost had a big league season with about 180 innings, and he did an outstanding job. He wants the ball, he doesn't want to come out of the game. You wish you had five starters like that every day."
and Greg Walker on Tyler Flowers:
"He's a tremendously talented kid that is trying to correct some swing problems and some approach flaws, in my mind," White Sox hitting coach Greg Walker said of Flowers to MLB.com. "I'm still confident he's on the right track, but this winter is important to him."
Walker is also tweaking Morel's swing:
"There are a few things we are tweaking with his swing. He's still got a few misses that we are looking to iron out this winter, but he can be a productive offensive player. The more efficient he becomes with his legs and swing, the more pop you will see," Walker said. "Every time I see him, it's a little better. His swing and offensive game [are] evolving. He's working on some things, nothing major, just minor things to iron out."

Certification Came Quickly After One-Click Access to WikiLeaks Was Removed
"The U.S. government is probably the largest enterprise I know of," Google co-founder Sergey Brin said last year. And soon it will be one of Google's largest customers as well, if the company has its way.
At an event at its Mountain View headquarters this morning, Google (GOOG) announced Google Apps for Government, the first cloud application suite to be certified for government use, the company claims. Identical to the service's premier edition, Google Apps for Government has been authorized to operate at the FISMA-Moderate level, meaning it is government-certified to handle "sensitive but unclassified" information, a designation given to the bulk of government documents and communications.
"Government has an enormous opportunity to leverage the Web as a platform," said Dave Girouard, president of Google's Enterprise division. "IT is a massive part of the government spend each year. It's where a lot of our tax dollars go. In these days of shrinking budgets and lower tax receipts, cloud computing offers a great opportunity to create a more effective and responsive government."
Girouard's point: The cloud-computing paradigm, with its utility model, lack of upfront licensing fees and low ongoing operational costs are almost tailor-made for agencies tethered to costly, difficult-to-manage legacy systems. As CEO Eric Schmidt explained, "If you think about government services, almost all of them are well suited for Web apps. The fact of that matter is that things like renewing your driver's license, requesting a copy of you birth certificate are all perfectly suited to Web services."
But only with the proper security. To that end, Google says it has built a segregated infrastructure exclusively for Apps for Government and that any customer data it stores will be located in the United States only. Federal security certification came through last Thursday. "We view trust as the ultimate hurdle for cloud computing and we want to be the first to overcome it," said Girouard.
And then?
Claim as much of the market as it can. "We're quite committed to enterprise and cloud computing," Schmidt said. "And it's sort of an open field now. For the past 20 years vendors have really controlled the way enterprise software was delivered and there as a lot of lock-in. With cloud computing there's sort of a jump ball and we have a chance to rethink that….We have a hot product and what we're doing is knocking down barriers to adoption." Among the earliest government adopters are the state of Colorado and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Thank you, CFCA sponsors and donors, for all of the support youíve provided this year to our friends and families around the world. The gifts youíve given and love youíve shown to the children, youth and elderly living in poverty have made an enormous difference in their lives, the lives of their families and in our own lives. Itís a success that the whole CFCA community can share
|To qualify for a 2008 tax deduction…
What weíve done together
Even in the face of the economic downturn, we have achieved so much. With your support, weíve helped children go to school for the first time, and weíve helped older youth finish school. Weíve helped mothers give their families nutritious food to eat. Weíve provided roofs for houses, and materials for home repairs. Grandparents receive vital health care, children get to visit the dentist, and communities of CFCA parents are strengthened by the opportunity to learn income-generating skills or start small businesses.
We have partnered with our friends through sponsorship. Weíve also helped through donations to special funds. And through the Sponsorship Assistance Fund, weíve helped fellow sponsors continue their sponsorships during rough times like job loss and health issues.
Good news from 2008
We began 2008 with good news. Together, we reached the $100 million revenue milestone — a testament to the trust sponsors place in CFCA as good stewards. Itís really remarkable that each of us giving about $30 a month can make such a huge impact.
CFCA is also recognized for our commitment to responsible stewardship by three of the leading nonprofit watchdog agencies. We received the highest rating (four stars) from Charity Navigator; we met all 20 of the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Allianceís rigorous Standards for Charity Accountability; and we earned the American Institute of Philanthropyís A+ rating, the only organization listed in the child-sponsorship category to receive an A+.
And another achievement we can all feel especially good about: We will begin 2009 with more sponsors and more sponsored friends being helped than we had a year ago.
Year-end contribution deadlines
As much as we have done, there is more that we can and will do together. To celebrate the end of the year with a contribution and qualify for a 2008 tax deduction, here are the deadlines:
- Online credit card contributions: Midnight Central time, Dec. 31
- Automatic bank withdrawal, online or by phone: 2 p.m. Central time, Dec. 30
A blessed new year ahead
We are grateful for your compassion and partnership with CFCA. Together, we are making a difference in each life we touch. Together, we make the world a better place for everyone.

For sometime, I have been reading controversies revolving around Dr Zakir Naik and his purported statements on Prophet Muhammad (SAW), terrorism, Osama bin Laden and Yazid. With little success in medical profession, Naik turned to Islamic research and moulded himself on the likes of Rashad Khalifa and Ahmed Deedat challenging all religion or the belief with his half baked truth and often stage managed shows.
What is the purpose of these debates? I was told by Naik supporters that many non believers were coming in the Islamic fold after hearing these so called `enlightened' debates. I asked for statistics; there were none. I am sure by scoring a brownie point in a debate which Naik forcefully try to do so can cause such a conversion. As such Naik has never impressed me.
I have never seen Naik discussing critical issues in Quran with the leading clergy in Islam or the Qaris who too have memorized Quran by heart. His audience largely includes those people who do not understand the scripture and are generally swayed by his photographic memory of the Quranic verses.
Extended logic is the domain with which people like him function. On Osama, Naik says 'if he is terrorising USA, he is with him' `Then all Muslims should be terrorist' are the adages he uses to pollute the mind and the image of Islam, the religion of peace.
One may ask why he is justifying terrorism. If US is indulging in terrorism, why attack its innocent people who more than often have come out in support of freedom and peace. If all Muslim become terrorists, then what is the difference with the US as he alleges?
Extended Logic
Dr Naik, don't fool people with these extended logics. There are so many tools to fight injustices and you belong to a country which won its independence through non-violence in the face of aggressive British imperialism. Had Mahatma Gandhi also felt that terrorism was the only way to get the British out of India, we may have remained confined in the yoke of colonialism as yet.
Did Prophet Muhammad (SAW) retaliate against the woman in Makkah who used to throw garbage on him everyday whenever he passed by. On the contrary, he went to enquire about her health once she fell ill. The Prophet (SAW) earned her goodwill this way and won the heart of the people. It is your action and 'seerat' that speaks and not retaliation.
Dr Naik, communalism cannot be fought with communalism; the only weapon you have is secularism. Terrorism and extremism, which you justify, has to be fought with reasoning and logic and not by terror. India, our country is a glaring example of fighting terrorism for well over three decades and yet we maintained our unity, pluralism and identity.
No Zakir Naik. Stop this non sense. You are living in pluralistic society, a nation which has assimilated so many cultures and has given you the freedom of speech and even allowed your abominable Peace TV on air. Don't let it fritter away with your concoction and later self denials. You also live in a world which has now grown into a global village so there are rooms for everyone, every ideology to prosper.
Islam has given sufficient space for all religion to exist as manifest in many verses. "To you is your religion and to me is mine" there is no compulsion in religion' are some of the verses. Why do you want to narrow down to one by undertaking these mediocre and senseless debates?
When you talk about Yazeed, I am surprised at the parochial nature of your thought. How can a man who claims to be an expert on Quran and exegesis ever support a tyrant and oppressor like Yazid bin Muawaiya whose atrocities can put even Hitler to shame?
There are no sectarian conflicts that you and your supporters do not try to create. Why you and your supporters are letting loose a hell on the sectarian conflict without realizing that it was a Sunni aalim from Lucknow that declared Zakir Naik a kafir. Sadia Dehlvi, I understand, is not a Shia. Most of the revered ulema who have condemned Zakir Naik are all Sunnis. They are all angered over your remarks on Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and wasilah and also calling Yazeed with honour.
It is the ideology Zakir Naik you speak of that justifies terrorism and denigration of all religions except the one you follow. You threaten the Shias; you threaten all those who don't adhere to your ideology by calling them Kafir and intimidating them by doling out wrong hadith or by spreading a message of hatred.
You are free to follow Yazid. But please don't distort history. This is where the conflict lies. By justifying Yazid and calling him as RA, you are condoning the bloody massacre of Medina at the battle of Harra by the Yazidi forces and the defiling of the sanctity of the Holy Kaabah to which all Muslims bow their head in prayers. I am not talking of Karbala as your heart cannot accept the fact that Imam Husain saved Islam on that day from the clutches of oppression and digression.
It is right to give discourse and convince people towards religion but it is equally important to give the right one.

Mohd. Yunus. I would have much preferred you answered me by quoting a piece of poetry or song. e.g: In translated form: "Give up prejudice O fool in the mirror house of this world. It is your own picture that you deem ugly."
You still have not won. Your statement: "Quran is lame without Ahadith" purports to undermine the Qur'an. On the other hand Ashraf Ali Thanvi statement "70 Ulooms are required to understand the Quran. don't read the Quran by yourself else you will go astray" virtually amount to youre say does not literally demean the Qur'an. But you must be around 30 and quite outspoken and of a generation behind me, so I give you the benefit of doubt.
Please leave the website if you want to be a good Muslim. My son is around 30. The only thing I have asked him since his early life is to be exemplary in conduct and behaviour (like our Prophet – I don't tell him this), hard and honestly and try to excel in whatever lawful thing he is doing (essence of Qur'anic message I don't tell him) and to share the fruit of his labour with the others (again essence of Qur'anic message I don't tell him). Here is my belated standard Eid message now forwarded to you as consolation prize for challenging us indefatigably: Hope fasting in the holy month of Ramadan has brought us closer to God, made a better human being out of us, cleansed our hearts of all negative feelings against others, prepared us to do our best in all our lawful activities, professions and pursuits and to share the fruit of our labour with others in the true spirit of greater jihad following the example of our beloved Prophet."
Bottom Line: Unless you take me to be a fool or a fanatic, you must take my 14 centuries namesake you/ others demonize habitually as Prophet of God. What greater proof you need.
Have patience please. Your problem – having topped all your exams and doing remarkably well in the academy, you are not adequately rewarded. Don't bother. Drive all defilements from your mind (rujza fahjur). This clear ayah of merely two words can make your life so happy and peaceful. But you want to speculate what agony (some may think lustful desire) went through the mind of the Prophet that the divine speech that did not mention the name of any single companion or wife of the Prophet was compelled to record it (33:37). You are like one going to a beautiful garden shining with galleries upon galleries of flowers. All you see is a 'Nim' plant and find fault in it for its lack of beauty or fragrance – without knowing there must be something good in it.If you do want to reply, please quote a befitting line of poetry or song.

Just in time for Saturday night's fall return, NBC's "Saturday Night Live" has added three featured players, Aidy Bryant, Tim Robinson and Cecily Strong. The comedy sketch show had to rebuild its cast ranks following the departure last season of key players Kristin Wiig, Andy Samberg and Abby Elliott.
Like many past and current members of the "SNL" crew, all three additions arrive at Rockefeller Center with pedigrees in improv from comedy breeding grounds in Chicago. Bryant (originally from Phoenix, Ariz.) trained with iO Chicago, Annoyance Theatre and was an ensemble member of the Second City E.T.C Stage. Robinson (from Detroit, Mich), also an alumnus of The Second City, performed on their Mainstage and in their National Touring Company. He has also performed at the iO Theater in Chicago and at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal. Strong (from Oak Park, Ill.has performed as a member of the Second City National Touring Company and has studied at the iO Theater.
The newbies will join featured players Taran Killam, Jay Pharoah, Nasim Pedrad, Vanessa Bayer and Jason Sudeikis, whose Mitt Romeny impression will be a key sketch anchor during the election season.
U.S. & World
SNL enters its 38th season on Saturday, Sept. 15, with comedian Seth MacFarlane as host and musical guest Frank Ocean. Other hosts this season include "Looper" actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Sept. 22) and James Bond himself, actor Daniel Craig, who will tackle the hosting duties on Oct. 6.

Our Hockeyville Kraft Night on January 24th was a HUGE success! We had lots of young crafters who were ready to get their hands dirty, and we were joined by a few fantastic team members from the Carleton Place Canadians!
We made some crazy goalie masks and everyone got to design their own hockey jersey as well! Our hockey players did a fantastic job helping the kids to create their "krafts". No one went home without a handful of projects, including the hockey players themselves!
We'd love to thank the members of the Carleton Place Canadians who took an hour out of their schedules to come and be with us. Not only did they learn the kids' names, they didn't even hesitate to get out of their comfort zones and get creative with us! It was a very fun evening and we hope it'll help towards our goal of making Carleton Place Kraft Hockeyville 2012!
A BIG thanks to Brodie Barrick, Shayne Morrissey, Luke Martin, Luke Edwards and Jessica Smith for helping us out. Go Carleton Place!

Loading calculators, spec charts, and other basic information is available in the Product Support section. Installing a new traveler system is a big project, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Harken Technical Service to make sure you're on the right track.
All Harken mainsheet cars except those in the Mini-Maxi, and Maxi families use CB and CB+ (captive bearing) systems, the ideal solution for the majority of mainsail applications. Ball bearings in CB and CB+ cars run smoothly and easily under load, and retainer clips keep the balls in place when cars are removed from the track.
How do I size my traveler car?
To size a traveler car, Tech Service asks these basic questions.
For a more detailed step-by-step guide see Ordering and for common configurations see Traveler Systems.
I have old-style Harken non-CB track and want to upgrade to a CB+ traveler car. Do I have to replace my old track?No. CB+ cars can be modified to run on old-style non-CB Harken track (supplied until 2002). To retrofit, remove the car retainer clip, remove the ball-routing corners, and then use a ball loader to replace the bearings and transfer the car onto non-CB track. Now you can use all the configurations available for modern CB systems: low profile ESP controls attached directly to the car, genoa lead cars with black racing-style sideplates, pivoting sheave catamaran cars, and soft attachments. Look for a + sign at the end of the car to confirm it is a CB+ car.
What happens if I force a Harken CB-only car (not CB+) onto a non-CB track?
Only CB+ cars can be modified. A CB-only car won't roll on non-CB track and can damage your equipment. The balls skid instead of roll and will soon flatten out. If you're lucky, you'll be left with an extremely high-friction slider car.
How high are the loads on my traveler car?
Use the specifications by car part number in the Traveler section and the Mainsheet System Loading Calculator to determine the mainsheet loads on your boat. The typical control line load you need to pull is about 20% of the car load.
How do modular CB mainsheet traveler controls help me?
Cars and end controls come in up to 6:1 purchases, allowing you to choose or change your traveler's mechanical advantage. If you want to increase purchase, a Harken conversion kit contains everything you need to make that adjustment yourself. See Purchase Selection Guide for car/end control combinations and system diagrams.
How do I choose my traveler purchase?
If you race occasionally, a 3:1 purchase allows fast adjustment but requires strength. For example, on an 11 m (35') boat there is as much as 32 kg (70 lb) of load on the traveler line. That's a lot of work for all but the strongest sailor. More common is a 4:1 purchase which, on an 11 meter boat, yields a maximum load of about 23 kg (50 lb). For most cruisers, a load of 16 kg (35 lb) is a good number. On an 11 m (35') boat, this translates into a 6:1 traveler purchase.
How do I tell whether I have Delrin® or Torlon® ball bearings in my traveler car?
Delrin ball bearings are white or black and are designed for Small Boat and other light-load applications. Torlon bearings are greenish-brown and are used in high-load cars.
Can I put a ball bearing car on my T-Track?
No. Ball bearings require special track to allow recirculation.
What track sizes and hole spacings are available?
22 mm Small Boat CB track:
Metric: 2720, 2725
Variable hole-spacing track for any spacing: 2721 high-beam
Retrofit 4" hole-spacing track: 373, 374
27 mm Midrange CB track:
Metric: R27
Variable hole-spacing track for any spacing: R27HB high-beam
Retrofit 4" hole-spacing track:
32 mm Big Boat CB Track:
Metric: R32
Variable hole-spacing track for any spacing: R32HB high-beam
Retrofit 4" hole spacing track: 3159
When I shackle my block to the traveler car, it flops around the deck so my lead isn't fair. What am I doing wrong?
You have probably attached the block to the shackle that is on the traveler car. We recommend replacing the shackle on the car with a stand-up toggle. Then remove the block's shackle and attach the headpost directly to the toggle. This will hold the block rigid. Another plus is that the toggle attaches lower to the car, so off-angle mainsheet loads apply less leverage on the balls. Cars accept loads to 40 degrees from vertical without binding.
If you are not using a toggle, a stand-up device such as a spring or boot can be used.
My traveler car toggle has ears. How do I attach the control blocks?
Attach your control blocks directly to the toggle ears. This reduces the load on the car so the bearings won't bind. For Small Boat and Midrange cars, remove the shackle on the block and attach directly to the toggle ears. For Big Boat cars, shackle the control block to the toggle ears.
In addition to shackles and toggles how else can I attach control blocks?
Soft-attachment cars offer a variety of rigging solutions. For example, you could loop or lash a lightweight Carbo soft-attach block to your car for traveler control.
How do I keep fair traveler leads and still adjust them from anywhere in the cockpit?
Swiveling cam cleats can increase working angles, some to nearly 180 degrees. This is an excellent option that will allow a fair lead to where you happen to be. Harken Extreme Angle Fairleads, which cleat and uncleat at up to 90 degrees, can also help you deal with poor leads.
How do I make my mid-boom cabin-top traveler dodger friendly?
Use 1849 risers for mid-boom travelers that must clear companionway hatches. Risers fit most cabin tops and articulate for use with either straight or curved track.
Depending on how your boat is laid out and how elaborate you want to make your system, you may be able to lead traveler lines under the cockpit coaming and have them emerge near the helm station. If you make this installation, be sure to have a swiveling cam in the system so that crew positioned forward of the helm can also adjust the traveler.
Can I use a recirculating control line?
Using a single line for both controls is good for end-boom mainsheet systems and helps keep line clutter to a minimum. Note that the line deadends on either block, so it is not truly recirculating or continuous. Keep the bight short so no one gets a foot caught inside it. This system also works well in a bridge deck layout, but not for a mid-boom traveler because the bight has to run across the companionway.
I used to race but am now more interested in cruising; how do I change my mainsheet traveler from an end-boom to mid-boom system?
The boom is like a lever arm and the loads at the end of the boom are much less than loads in the middle. As a result, changing from end-boom to mid-boom sheeting is not simple. If your boom was originally rigged for end-boom sheeting and you change it to mid-boom, the load doubles. Your existing boom setup might not be strong enough.
To determine if your equipment can handle mid-boom sheeting, first contact the boom manufacturer about the strength of the boom. Some booms can be permanently deformed after the sheeting system is moved forward. There are methods of preventing this, such as using multiple attachment points on the boom to spread the load. Second, make sure your mainsheet system can handle the loads. If you have a Midrange traveler that's on the upper end of its working load, you'll probably need to upgrade to a Big Boat traveler system. Third, if you're sheeting by hand, determine if you need different blocks for a greater mechanical advantage.
Does windward sheeting make tacking easier?
In light to moderate air, most boats sail upwind better with the traveler above the centerline. This reduces mainsheet tension and stops the leech from closing when the boom is trimmed to the centerline. With a conventional traveler car, you must manually release the leeward control line to bring the car above the centerline. Before tacking, the leeward control will require recleating before it becomes the new windward control.
The cams on a Harken windward sheeting car automatically cleat and release during the tack, letting crew stay on the high side and minimizing movement. You never have to touch the leeward control line because when you tack, the car stays where you left it and a special mechanism uses the mainsheet load to release the leeward cleat. The only thing you need to do is draw the car above the centerline. It's so easy, you'll never want to sail without a windward sheeting car again.
Can I turn my Harken mainsheet traveler car into a windward sheeting car?Yes. Windward sheeting adapter kits are available to turn standard Harken cars into windward sheeting cars.
Can I use the Midrange stand-up toggle in my Midrange windward sheeting car?
No. The Midrange toggle will not allow the windward sheeting apparatus to slide athwartships far enough to fully open and close the cams.
How do you use windward sheeting cars in heavy wind?
In heavy air you usually want the car below the centerline. As with any other mainsheet traveler, you just ease the control line to the position you want. On the opposite tack, a windward sheeting car automatically mirrors the position you set. You never have to touch the control lines.
What kinds of boats use windward sheeting travelers?
Harken has windward sheeting travelers for everything from small sport boats to boats up to 13.7 m (45'). You can convert most existing Harken travelers with a retrofit kit.
Why is my car running roughly?
The cars and track probably need cleaning with detergent. Also inspect the track for damage and corrosion. See the CB Installation Sheet for further information; the included maintenance information near the bottom applies to CB, CB+, and non-CB cars.
How do I clean and maintain my cars and track?Flush them frequently with fresh water. Occasionally squirt a detergent and water solution into the car's center openings and roll the car back and forth to distribute evenly. Flush the detergent out with fresh water. This maintenance is very important, particularly when the cars haven't been in use.
Frequently inspect shackles and control block fittings for signs of fatigue. Make sure every installation includes Harken track endstops and arrange the control tackle so cars do not hit endstops under load.
Be aware that using some teak cleaners and other caustic solutions can result in discoloration that is not covered under the Harken warranty. See the Harken catalog for full maintenance and warranty information.
Slider Cars
Use spray lubricants like McLube™ spray lubricant only on slider cars and slider track. Do not use with ball bearing cars.
CB & CB+ CarsDo not use spray lubricant because it will make ball bearings and ball bearing track so slippery that the balls will skid instead of roll. Use McLube OneDrop™ ball bearing conditioner on traveler track to repel salt and dirt so ball bearing cars roll more smoothly.

It's easy to be cynical about the attention given to the first album in ten years, from one of the great figures of the 1970s and early 80s, David Bowie. An album which isn't even out for another week. Old man makes record which confirms to middle aged media types that the musicians of their teen really were the best. Ho hum.
It's worth noting though that just last week a lot of who weren't born until the '80s or '90s were among those who got very excited at the news that Kraftwerk were to perform eight of their albums in Australia. I get that excitement and share it but remember this, Kraftwerk essentially made little new, and even less genuinely striking music, in the past 30 years, their energy mostly spent.
In stark contrast is Bowie, a contemporary and spurned Kraftwerk collaborator whose influence was as ongoing and significant in its own way as the Germans'. He kept making challenging, adventurous, not always successful or good but constantly changing music right up until his 2004 heart attack seemingly presaged retirement. He didn't deal in nostalgia.
While not a perfect album (Boss of Me clumps along anonymously and Love Is Lost feels strained by its end), what makes The Next Day so interesting first of all is how it balances Bowie's tendency to look forward with its clear acknowledgement of the past: musical, personal and universal.
You don't have to work hard to hear echoes of some of his now-definitive moments. There's the honking sax and serrated guitar of Dirty Boys, so reminiscent of his thin, blond and paranoid mid-'70s. Or maybe the impassioned undertone of the "German albums" of the late '70s mixed with touches of the power rock of his '90s Tin Machine experiments in If You Can See Me and (You Will) Set the World on Fire.
Yet lyrically the subject matter can be very modern, as in the bitterly funny idea that celebrities are the voracious, probably alien consumers of our souls in the energetic sweep of The Stars (Are Out Tonight) and the bloody social cleansing of Where Does the Grass Grow. Or it is interchangeable with past, present and future, as in the jackboot tendencies in the title track and the glam-charged Valentine's Day.
The exception to the eyes-forward nature is the sombre, beautiful reminiscence of Where Are We Now? which seemed like a farewell more than a welcome when released earlier this month as the first single. Heard in the context of the album this song, which is in fact quite simple and unadorned, feels emotionally and sonically vast and appears a masterfully composed piece.
Which brings us to the other reason why The Next Day isn't just a sop to those locked in their own "glorious" pasts. This tough-sounding album is full of outright winning tunes and compact songs whose pop appeal is decidedly fresh. Dancing Out In Space combines a slick motor city soul/pop beat, some winding guitar and a monotone delivery (with brief doo-wop interjections) to make a sunshine bright song. If You Can See Me has the irresistible funk and drive of New York's TV On The Radio. And I'd Rather Be High is as high strutting as You Feel So Lonely You Could Die is soulfully intense.
This isn't a comeback nor the second coming and you should be wary of those who make such claims. It is however, a high quality record from someone who knows his way around a rock song and whose past is a comparison point, not an excuse or burden.
The Next Day is out on March 8

Chair:two in One by Viktor Kovtun
Viktor Kovtun Presents The Two in One Chair
Viktor Kovtun, the designer of the award winning project Chair:Two in One by Viktor Kovtun illustrates, I think that the combination of the jewelry from plastic and plywood (wood) is very perspective. The basis of the idea and construction of this chair is arc-horseshoe. The arc-horseshoe can be of any color, but shall be obligatory reinforced by the two pairs of steel rods, as the negative slope of the front legs creates an additional moment, and, for this reason, additional load on them. The back part of the chair can be made from the plywood and proceeded on the numerical controlled machine. The back and front parts can be produced individually and then glued (on pins) or assembled .

A Look Inside the Facebook Data Center
Last week we gave you a peek into Google's Data Centers and today we're happy to share some images from Facebook's Data Center. The building was designed by Sheehan Partners and is located in Prineville, Oregon. At 332, 290 square feet, the building uses as much energy as a small town.
Due to the center's advanced technologies, the building has achieved LEED Gold status, the second highest status awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council. The center achieved this by cutting power at every opportunity, resulting in a building that runs 38% more efficiently than other state-of-the-art data centers yet costs 24% less to construct.

FRIDAY, Nov. 11, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- With their teachers' help, children who have been abused can return to school and excel academically, according to a new study.
Researchers from the University of Missouri found that among children with a history of abuse, the most successful kids were those who focused on everyday management skills, such as self-control.
"The first step, of course, is for teachers to watch for signs and stop the abuse to the child," said Stephen Whitney, associate professor in the department of educational, school and counseling psychology in the university's College of Education, in a university news release. "My colleagues and I worked with Child Protective Services to examine test scores to determine what factors indicate future achievement, and of those factors, what ones actually translate to the classroom. Teachers and counselors can help the student succeed by focusing on daily living skills."
In conducting the study, recently published in the journal Child Abuse & Neglect, researchers reviewed the math and reading test scores of about 700 maltreated children, ranging in age from 6 to 10 years. They found the type of abuse and how long it endured had the biggest impact on their school performance.
But the authors also found the abused children who had their teachers' help managing everyday skills -- controlling their emotions, paying attention to detail and finding the inspiration to stay motivated -- had the most success academically.
"The key to a successful response to an unprecedented life event is to control what you can. Children who can translate that skill into the classroom can have an advantage over others who cannot," said Whitney. "Teachers are the gatekeepers to reporting abuse, getting kids the help they need and then providing crucial support in helping those kids overcome their past."

Illuminance Limited-Edition Box SetRinko Kawauchi
Availability: Limited quantities
"I prefer listening to the small voices in our world, those which whisper. I have a feeling I am always being saved by these whispers, my eyes naturally focus on small things." —Rinko Kawauchi
This limited-edition boxed set includes a specially bound copy of the artist's monograph Illuminance (Aperture, 2011) and two beautiful photographs of images found in the book, all presented in a clothbound case. The highly anticipated monograph is the latest volume of Kawauchi's work and the first to be published outside of Japan. Gorgeously produced as a clothbound volume with Japanese binding, this impressive compilation of mostly previously unpublished images is proof of Kawauchi's unparalleled, unique sensibility and her ongoing appeal to the lovers of photography.
Kawauchi's work has frequently been lauded for its nuanced palette and offhand compositional mastery, as well as its ability to incite wonder via careful attention to tiny gestures and the incidental details of her everyday environment. In Illuminance, she continues her exploration of the extraordinary in the mundane, drawn to the fundamental cycles of life and the seemingly inadvertent, fractal-like organization of the natural world into formal patterns, as evidenced by the photographs included in this very special set.
Rinko Kawauchi (born in Shiga, Japan, 1972) studied graphic design and photography at Seian Junior College of Art and Design. Among her awards and accolades are the 1997 Grand Prix Prize at the Guardian Garden's 9th Hitotsubo Exhibition, the 27th Ihei Kimura Photography Award in 2002, and the 2009 International Center of Photography Infinity Award in Art. She has had solo exhibitions at Foudation Cartier, Paris; Photographers' Gallery, London; Galleria Carla Sozzani, Milan; Hasselblad Center, Göteborg, Sweden; and Museum of Modern Art, São Paulo, among other international venues. Kawauchi lives and works in Tokyo.

Welcome to Fearless Formula Feeder Fridays, a weekly guest post feature that strives to build a supportive community of parents united through our common experiences, open minds, and frustration with the breast-vs-bottle bullying and bullcrap.
Please note, these stories are for the most part unedited, and do not necessarily represent the FFF's opinions. They also are not political statements – this is an arena for people to share their thoughts and feelings, and I hope we can all give them the space to do so.
I saw the most awesome tweet today, from a Canadian physician named Dr. Daniel Flanders. "Want to improve
#breastfeeding rates without guilting moms who choose not to breast feed?" he asked. "Think 'SUPPORT' not 'PROMOTE'".
I don't know this guy from Adam, but I wish I could buy him a pony out of gratitude. (Provided he wants a pony, of course. They might be kind of messy and expensive to feed.) There is a marked difference between promotion and support, and this is the fundamental problem in how breastfeeding is being handled in today's society. Laurie, whose story is below, could have been spared a lot of grief and bother – and may have had a better breastfeeding experience all around – had there been care providers around her armed with better research and skills. When we focus so much on raising breastfeeding rates, rather than on fixing the common and (not actually so) rare problems which can impede or destroy a mother's attempts to do what she feels is best for her baby – well, we're the failures, not the moms.
There is no reason women like Laurie should be left feeling guilty, and yet they do. Not that I advocate guilt, but honestly? If anyone should be feeling ashamed, it's those championing a system which put zealotry above real research, and statistics above individual experiences.
Support, not advocacy. Wise words.
Happy Friday, fearless ones…
The FFF
Laurie's Story
I was determined to nurse my first child. I had no desire for an unmedicated childbirth, but I was all for breastfeeding. Best-laid plans…after a very long labor in which my epidural failed miserably, I got to the pushing stage and then, before I knew what was happening, my baby's heart rate had dropped dangerously, and I was going into shock and being rushed into an emergency C-section. It was such an emergency, in fact, that they hadn't even finished putting me under before they started cutting. Turns out, I had a uterine rupture. After a few very scary hours (for my family, not for me — I was unconscious!), it seemed certain that I would pull through. And, thankfully, my son was just fine.
So…Evan was perfect, but I was not. In fact, before long, the breastfeeding thing really had me discouraged. In my breastfeeding class, we were told that holding your baby skin-to-skin within the first two hours of birth would increase your likelihood of breastfeeding success by 80%. Well, guess what? I was unconscious the first several hours after his birth and didn't even get to see him until 6 hours later, so that didn't happen.
When we did try nursing, it did not go well. Evan seemed to latch on but then would get frustrated and scream. The lactation consultant at the hospital was not very encouraging. Leaving aside her pronouncement on my shortcomings (inverted nipples, if you care to know), she informed me that Evan's mouth was too small to keep a latch and as he got older and bigger he might be able to nurse, but in the meantime I should just pump. A few weeks later, the pediatrician diagnosed tongue-tie, and we got that fixed, but things were no better. Every time I tried to nurse, Evan just screamed. I originally tried to follow the La Leche leader's advice and feed him only with a medicine dropper so that he wouldn't get nipple confusion, but do you know how long it takes to feed a baby even two ounces with a medicine dropper? By the time I finished, it would be time for the next feeding!
But pump I did, with the hospital-grade pump I rented, every 3 hours around the clock. At most I was getting 2 oz. at every pumping, and Evan soon needed at least 24 oz. a day, so, if you do the math, you will see that I had to supplement with formula. I tried to boost my production by taking a zillion herbs, eating oatmeal, drinking lots of water, even drinking beer, but nothing seemed to help. My doctor called in a prescription for Reglan for me, and I was told that if I followed the dosing schedule, my production should double within 5 days. Alas, I am allergic to Reglan. I took my first dose and woke up with a red, itchy rash all over my neck and chest.
I threw in the towel at 6 weeks. Formula felt like failure. I know lots of people were given formula and turned into healthy, contributing citizens (I'm one of them, actually!), but I also knew (perhaps you've heard?) that breast milk is best. So, even though Evan is a now very healthy toddler who has only had a handful of colds and one ear infection in his life, I held out hope that things would go better with my next child, at least on the breastfeeding front.
Unfortunately, I had another rocky start with my second son — he was born at 30 weeks, so I didn't even get to try to nurse until he was 4 weeks old. It was just me and that darn pump again. Once I was able to try, though, I found that Ben latched immediately and was a very good nurser. While he was in the NICU I got to nurse him once every day when I visited, and he was getting bottles of my pumped milk. At first my supply seemed pretty good, but it never increased to more than 2.5 oz per pumping session. I tried nursing him around the clock when he came home, then supplementing with what I pumped, but he was losing weight because he had to work so hard to get very little. The NICU LC was the first one to tell me that my problem is not low supply, it's the fact that my nipples are so inverted that I have an exit problem. (Apparently, this only happens "in very rare cases.") The milk is not able to exit, which signals my body to stop making so much milk, which means that even though I was pumping religiously, the amount I was able to pump kept dropping. A lightbulb went on when I got this diagnosis — that's why with Evan I kept getting plugged ducts even though I thought I had a supply problem. I was sending my body mixed messages.
My preemie is 21 weeks old now, a whopping 12 lbs., and I bid the pump adieu more than two months ago. I am not beating myself up about it this time around, but I am sad that my problem wasn't detected before; apparently I could have had surgery to correct it in between pregnancies, but it's too late now. I am glad that my preemie was fed breast milk exclusively for the first 7 weeks of his life — at least he got all those touted immunities when he was most vulnerable. But now when someone asks if I'm breastfeeding (and people do, even mere acquaintances who really don't have any business asking about the functioning of my breasts), I can just say, "No" and not feel the need to go into the whole sordid story so that they know it's NOT MY FAULT. Having gained a little perspective after my first child, I now know that the time when my babies are getting only liquid nutrition is fairly short in the grand scheme of things, and my breastfeeding "failure" was only the first of many, many opportunities for mommy guilt.

It's 8 a.m. on a sweltering Tuesday morning at Male High School. On the football practice field at the back edge of campus there are no cheerleaders, no scoreboard, and no public address announcer barking out the names of playmakers. In fact, there isn't even a football in sight as the June sun burns away the morning dew.
All you will find on this day is Bulldogs strength and conditioning coach Paul Mandeville, three aspiring college athletes and a 125-pound sled.
"This is the part of football no one sees,†says Mandeville, a former standout receiver at Campbellsville. "Muscle failure is the name of the game today,†he adds, only half-kidding.
Foremost among his summer pupils is Lorentez Barbour. The recent Male graduate was an All-District defensive back last season and is due to report to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. on June 28. The Midshipmen open their season against Notre Dame in Dublin on Sept. 1 and Barbour hopes to deplane in Ireland as a starting safety.
Meantime, there is work to do, and after a brief warm-up, Mandeville summons Barbour to the power sled. A flat slab of welded steel with nylon straps, the sled is weighed down with four 25-pound plates and looks more like a farm implement than a tool for building speed and endurance.
Mandeville blows a whistle and Barbour explodes in a backward sprint, dragging the sled behind.
"Go, go, go, go, go,†yells Mandeville as Barbour treads and grunts his way from one sideline to the other and back.
30 seconds down, two months to go.
Sled pulls are just one element of the five-days-a-week workout plan that Mandeville devised to prep Barbour for the Academy.
They are not alone. Throughout the city, with no fanfare or bright lights, scores of athletes are putting in the hours necessary to elevate their games and lay the groundwork for next season.
This week The High School Sports Report takes a look at the summer workout regimens of Barbour and two other recent graduates who are gearing up for the next level.
Lorentez Barbour
- High School: Male
- Sport: Football
- Bona fides: All-District defensive back in 2011 with 66 tackles, five pass breakups and an interception; top-10 finisher in long jump (10th, 20-5.5), triple jump (7th, 42-5.75) and high jump (5th, 6-0) at the 3A state track meet in May.
- College: Navy
While the beginning of football pre-season looms in August, Barbour must first get through the Naval Academy's Plebe Summer, which begins with Induction Day on June 28.
This rigorous seven-week program for first-year midshipmen, or plebes, includes strenuous calisthenics, hand-to-hand training, obstacle and endurance courses, as well as long distance runs and sprint training.
Barbour has taken a varied approach in his last weeks at home. "We usually mix it up and do different stuff,†he said. "A lot of stop-and-go and quick reaction stuff.â€
A typical speed workout might include a series of 110-yard sprints (in 16 seconds or less), 300-yard shuttles in 50-yard increments (56 seconds) and 200-yard shuttles while holding a 25-pound plate (45 seconds). Work with a reaction ball and cone footwork drills top off the session.
In addition, the 6-foot-1, 185-pounder spends two to three hours a week in the weight room, where Olympic lifts make up the majority of the exercises. Recently, Mandeville incorporated a circuit of eight bench presses with each bench carrying a different weight between 70 and 185 pounds.
With so much on the horizon, does Barbour ever get nervous?
"Not so much,†he said. "The way I see it there's a thousand other people that are going and there's thousands of people who've been through it.â€
Mallory Tyler
- High School: Collegiate
- Sport: Field Hockey
- Bona fides: 2011 Miss Field Hockey; four-time First Team All-State selection; 100 career goals; Academic All-American; 22 varsity letters—field hockey (4), lacrosse (5), swimming (6), track (2) and cross-country (5).
- College: Michigan State
One of the stated goals in the Michigan State field hockey summer fitness packet is for the Spartans to be "the fittest team on the planet.â€
Fanciful though this ambition may be, Mallory Tyler intends to arrive in East Lansing prepared for the pursuit.
In an average week, the Collegiate graduate takes on two days of interval training, two days of cross-training and a fifth day devoted to fartlek runs. Fartlek, which means "speed play†in Swedish, is a form of training in which a runner alternates between an intensive pace and a slower recovery pace.
Tyler, a forward, said the runs replicate well the light-switch nature of her position and have become a favorite early evening workout.
"I like running at night because it's generally colder and it's quiet. It's kind of peaceful and I get to clear my mind,†she said.
Even for a five-sport athlete, the first sight of her summer workout schedule was flooring.
"I was pretty overwhelmed,†Tyler said. "I figured it would be a lot of running and I like it because it pushes me and I like being challenged.â€
Tyler has been accepted into the prestigious Honors College at Michigan State and will report in early July to take a summer school course in art history and begin working out with her new teammates.
Blake Scinta
- High School: Kentucky Country Day
- Sport: Basketball
- Bona fides: Honorable Mention All-State; First Team All-7th Region; averaged 20 points and 11 rebounds in 2011-12.
- College: Centre
For nearly a year, Blake Scinta has been working with personal trainer Greg Fredrick at the Louisville Sports Performance Institute, and this summer the two have implemented exercises recommended by the basketball staff at Centre.
"I can tell I've been jumping higher. I feel stronger,†said Scinta, who works with Fredrick three days a week. "My shot comes easier and I don't get fatigued as easily.â€
The 6-foot-9, 210-pound forward has a skill set that allows him to step out on the perimeter and workouts are tailored to maintain that mobility while also helping him add the weight necessary to be effective on the block in college.
"I know that if I don't work out and train almost every day that when I get to Centre, it's going to be ugly,†said Scinta, who has gained 12 pounds since February and is looking to add 10-15 more.
The first workout session of the week includes both upper and lower body exercises, followed by a day of legs only and a third day of strictly upper body work. Speed and agility exercises, including ladder footwork and cone drills, supplement each workout.
In addition to his time in the weight room, Scinta is on the hardwood at KCD six days a week for 90-minute shooting sessions.

Listen free for 30 days
Quickstart Spanish
Quickstart Spanish is a simple and effective way to get going and build your confidence. This engaging and well-structured approach breaks down the key language into manageable chunks, and gives plenty of opportunity to listen and practise, as well as produce the language yourself. You will follow three Spanish friends throughout their stay in Barcelona in 14 episodes.
A brief introduction leads you straight into time to listen, which gives you all the language you need to follow the action and get the gist of the first conversation. You will then hear the conversation for the first time.
Then it's time to reflect. This section gives a step-by-step explanation of the language you have just heard to help you understand how Spanish works. There's also plenty of opportunity to practise your pronunciation by repeating the words and phrases used in the conversation.
Then it's time to kickstart your Spanish. This is your chance to practise the language you have just learnt by constructing sentences on your own.
And finally, you'll have time to recap. Listen again to the conversation, and see just how much you've picked up already. After that you can move on to the second conversation.
The course comes with a 40-page booklet, which gives the dialogues, their translations, and the key phrases and vocabulary from each episode. There is also a useful pronunciation guide.
