8 "Healthy" Snacks That Are More Fattening Than a Twinkie
Are these 8 fattening foods in your fridge? See the snacks that are sabotaging your diet now
Reduced fat peanut butter
Peanut butter caught some flak for having 25 percent of your recommended daily intake of fat in just 2 tablespoons, so many peanut butter companies came out with reduced fat options. But while they may boast "25 percent less fat than regular peanut butter," you will definitely not be "spreading some on without the guilt" like the Skippy's Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter tagline claims."When manufacturers remove the fat from their foods, they need to put something else in to pump up the flavor -- and that something is often sugar," says Ansel. "Many brands have up to a teaspoon of sugar in a 2 tablespoon serving." Skippy's 25 percent less fat option has 4 g of sugar in 2 tablespoons -- that's double the amount of the original, "fattening" variety. So, while we admit this is less than the amount of sugar in a Twinkie, it's still astounding.
Eat this instead: Rather than reduced fat peanut butter, try almond butter. While it has a comparable amount of calories, they're substantiated with extra doses of iron, magnesium, calcium, fiber, and vitamin E. Almond butter also has about half of the saturated fats than peanut butter.

Stretching from the subtropical north down to the windswept expanses of Tierra del Fuego, the land at the end of the earth, Argentina and Chile have a wealth of attractions, remarkable diversity and some of the most dramatic landscapes on earth.
Capital cities:
Argentina: Buenos Aires
Chile: Santiago
Official Language: Spanish
Religions: Roman Catholic 90%, small numbers of Protestants, Jews, and Muslims
Voltage: Argentina: 220 volts AC, 50Hz. Lamp fittings are of the screw-type. Plug fittings in older buildings are of the two-pin round type, but some new buildings use the three-pin flat type. Chile: 220 volts AC, 50Hz. Three-pin plugs and screw-type bulbs are used.
Currently EU, US, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand citizens can visit Argentina for up to 90 days without a visa. However, the situation does change periodically, so you should always check with your local embassy before departure. Citizens of other countries should check with their local Argentinean embassy whether a visa is required.
Nationals of Australia, Canada, Mexico and the USA entering Chile for tourist purposes will be charged a processing fee payable on arrival and in cash only. For nationals of the USA, the fee is US$100; for nationals of Canada, the fee is US$55; for nationals of Australia, the fee is US$34; and for nationals of Mexico, the fee is US$15. A visa is not required for UK citizens entering as a tourist for up to 90 days. However, as regulations are subject to change at short notice it is advisable to check with the Chilean Consulate for the latest information.
We recommend using the services of a specialist visa agency like Travcour
The unit of currency in Argentina is the Argentinean Peso (AR$) = 100 centavos. Peso notes are in denominations of AR$100, 50, 20, 10, 5 and 2. Coins are in denominations of AR$1 and 50, 25, 10, 5 and 1 centavos.
The unit of currency in Chile is the Chilean Peso (CH$) = 100 centavos. Notes are in denominations of CH$20,000, 10,000, 5000, 2000, 1000 and 500. Coins are in denominations of CH$500, 100, 50, 10, 5 and 1.
Please see XE.com for the latest exchange rate.
Imtrav Travel Tip - Bring a combination of cash and traveller's cheques (in US$). Notes should be blemish free.
We recommend that you bring cash/travellers cheques in US Dollars only. US Dollars are widely accepted. It can be difficult to change traveller's cheques in small towns. Currency exchanges are available in all the major cities. Most major credit cards are widely accepted. Check with your credit or debit card company for details of merchant acceptability and other services which may be available. ATMs are available in most cities but it is still best to carry alternative forms of payment.
You can change money at banks, authorised shops, hotels and restaurants, and casas de cambio exchange bureaux. Traveller's cheques may be difficult to change in smaller towns, and must be changed before 1200 everywhere except casas de cambio. Traveller's cheques in US Dollars are best. American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard and Visa are accepted.
Imtrav Travel Tip - Do not rely on your bank card as your only source of money, even if your bank says it will work. Always have a few back-ups with you.
The Pre-Departure Information contains general information about organising your spending money. Your Tour Leader will be able to advise you on local facilities.
San Pedro de Atacama
Buenos Aires has a good public transport network, with an extensive subway system – the subte.
Buses (colectivos) are generally reliable but can get crowded. Try and ensure you have enough change – fares are usually less than 1US$.
Taxis usually have yellow roofs and have digital meters. Remises are radio taxis without meters that cost about the same as a regular taxi, offering fixed fares within any particular zone.
Domestic flights from Jorge Newbery (Aeroparque) and Córdoba (COR) (Pajas Blancas) to destinations throughout Argentina are run by Aerolíneas Argentinas (AR). Air travel is the most efficient way to get around, but the services are very busy and can be subject to delay.
Buses are cheap and reliable. There is a luxury north–south service running most of the length of the country. Most long-distance coaches have toilets and serve food and drink. Micros are local buses which can get very crowded.
Santiago has an efficient, clean and easy to use metro system, costing around $0.75 per journey.
Most taxis have meters, but for long journeys fares should be agreed beforehand. The fare is shown in the windscreen – with two figures, the first is the starting price, the second per 200m. A surcharge of 50% applies on Sundays after 9pm. Taxis in Santiago are black and yellow. Tipping is not expected. Colectivos are shared taxis operating along fixed routes. These are cheaper than regular taxis, costing only slightly more than a bus.
There are frequent air services between main towns, and the southern part of the country relies heavily on air links. Reservations are essential.
The Pre-Departure Information that you will receive once you have booked your tour contains a comprehensive list of items that you should consider bringing with you. Please also check your Trip Dossier for any special requirements.
Imtrav Travel Tip - Bring a backpack or easy to carry luggage and travel light. You will have to carry your own luggage frequently – don't let this be an ordeal.
As a general guideline, clothing should be lightweight, loose fitting, hard-wearing and easily washed. In the hot summer months, cotton clothing is much more comfortable than man-made materials like nylon. It can get very cold, especially in the south or at altitude, so bring warm clothing. Be prepared for cooler evenings even in summer - for this reason you will generally find it better to pack several thin layers rather than one thick layer. A fleece can be invaluable and double as a pillow. See the General Information section for more details.
The north is subtropical with rain throughout the year, while Tierra del Fuego in the south has a subarctic climate. The main central area is temperate; hot and humid during summer (December to February) and cool in winter. In general, take European clothes for the main central area, lightweight cottons and linens in the north. Warm clothes are necessary in the south and during winter months in the central area. Waterproofs are advisable for all areas.
The climate ranges from hot and arid in the north to very cold in the far south. The central areas have a mild Mediterranean climate with a wet season (May to August). The far south is one of the wettest and stormiest areas in the world.
Take lightweight cottons and linens for northern and central areas. Rainwear is advised during rainy seasons. Warm clothing and waterproofs are needed in the south.
Prepare Yourself
Whilst few of our tours can be described as physically demanding you will find all activities more enjoyable if you are reasonably fit and active.
Toilet Paper
Some trips have a few days where toilets are not available. When you do answer the call of nature please burn your toilet paper – do not bury it. If it is not possible to burn it, take it back to the camp where it can be placed in the rubbish bin and disposed of appropriately.
Whenever you use a western- or squat-style toilet please place your toilet paper in the rubbish bin provided – do not flush it down the toilet as this may block the sewerage system. You may also want to carry your own toilet paper as not all toilets will supply it.
Imtrav Travel Tip - You may find it useful to take along a supply of antiseptic wet wipes and plastic bags to put your toilet paper in if it cannot be burnt/placed in a bin.
Throwing rubbish on the floor may be acceptable to some locals, but please hold on to your waste until you find a litterbin or somewhere appropriate to dispose of it.
Begging is not common in Argentina or Chile but due to economic pressures has been more in evidence in Argentina recently. Ultimately donations are a traveller's personal choice; however our recommendation is NOT to give money, pens, gifts or sweets to children as this encourages a begging mentality and is largely ineffectual. If you do want to help it is probably better to give to a recognised charity. If you choose not to give, simply say no with a smile and keep on walking. If you learn nothing else of the local language, try to learn to say 'no thank you'.
Argentina is famed for leather goods. Quality varies, so shop around. Shopkeepers are sometimes open to bargaining. If your visit coincides with a sale you might pick up some bargains. Jewellery is of a high standard, often using 18-carat gold. Gaucho paraphernalia is popular for souvenirs, such as maté gourds.
Chile is one of the best places in the world to find lapis lazuli, the deep blue semi-precious stone, the other being Afghanistan. The deeper the colour the better the quality. Bellavista in Santiago is the best place to find it. Woollen clothing knitted from alpaca is good value, and leather goods are popular. The far south is a good place to pick up some chunky knitwear.
It is advisable not to wear expensive looking watches or jewellery and don't carry a wallet in your back pocket or carry loose hanging bags. Keep your camera concealed when not in use. Remember that most thieves don't use violence but rely mostly on diversionary tactics which can take place at anytime of the day or night. Do not be paranoid, but just be aware that it could happen at anytime. Always be vigilant and the chances are nothing will ever happen to you. The safety of our passengers is our tour leaders' number one concern and they will provide all necessary local information during the pre-departure meeting.
Protective helmets of a reliable standard are not always available locally. If you intend to take part in activities such as bike or horse rides, you should consider bringing a suitable helmet from home.
If you have any safety concerns you should mention these to your Tour Leader immediately.
Your Tour Leader's role is to ensure all aspects of the trip run smoothly. He/she will share their local knowledge, advise on how to fill your free time and co-ordinate the day to day running of the tour – although occasionally he/she may need your understanding if things do not go according to plan. If you have any problems on the tour, please let your Tour Leader know so that steps can be taken to put it right. Tour Leaders are supported by our local agents and a regional Destination Manager.
Please note that some styles of trip, such as Imaginative Escapes or Imaginative Honeymoons, do not have a Tour Leader. However, there will be representatives on hand who will be able to assist you in arranging any excursions that you wish you take.
Our main criterion for choosing hotels is cleanliness. On Adventurer tours hotels are simple, but comfortable. On tours which travel through the more remote regions, rooms may sometimes be multishare or have shared bathroom facilities. Please bear in mind that hotels can sometimes suffer from minor problems and technical difficulties.
At each hotel your Tour Leader will try to organise the rooming arrangements to suit everyone's requirements. If you are travelling alone you will be allocated a room with another group member of the same sex. If you are travelling as a couple please note that we cannot guarantee the availability of double beds.
There are many places that do laundry, usually costing around $2.5 per kilo.
Local specialities are basically a mixture of Spanish and Italian. Argentineans are great carnivores and the beef is some of the best anywhere; you should visit a parrilla, or steak house, at least once. The asado is a traditional barbecue with a whole carcass grilled over a charcoal pit. Breakfast is typically continental, but lunches are large and dinner is usually held late at night. There are many places to buy snacks in between, such as empanada, pizza or churros, a kind of doughnut.
Wines are very good and inexpensive. Local distilleries produce their own brands of most well-known spirits. Whiskies and gins are excellent, as are classic and local wines. Quilmes is a popular brand of beer, as is Isenbeck. There are many varieties of fruit juice available, and coffee is always strong and freshly brewed. Other carbonated soft drinks are widely available. Tap water is usually OK to drink.
With such a long coastline, fish and seafood play a major role in the Chilean diet. King crab is a speciality of Patagonia and a Peruvian dish of marinated fish in lemon juice called ceviche is popular. Beef is the most common meat, and as in Argentina, the asado (barbecue) is popular. The potato is an important staple, and it looms large in Chilean mythology. There are many snack bars and cafés in Chile, usually serving draught beer and impressively large sandwiches. There are also a variety of hotdogs available that come with a selection of fillings including avocado, tomato and even sauerkraut.
Chilean wine is justifiably famous. The other main local drink is the pisco sour, an aperitif made from white brandy and lemon juice. Fizzy drinks are widely available, as are fresh fruit juices. Coffee tends to be instant only, and tea is not often encountered.
If you are a strict vegetarian you may experience a distinct lack of variety in the food available, especially in small towns. You might find that you are eating a lot of omelettes and other egg dishes. Our tour leaders will do their best to organise interesting vegetarian alternatives for included meals, but your patience and understanding is requested
Food Allergies
If you have food allergies or preferences, please make them known to your Tour Leader who will do their best to ensure that your requirements are met.
Please note: Unfortunately we can give no guarantee that special requirements can always be met.
As a guideline a simple meal in Argentina can cost as little as US$2, but US$4-10 is the norm. A meal in one of the best restaurants would usually be less than US$50. In Chile eating out is slightly more expensive; you can get a good set menu for US$5; a la carte is more expensive. Obviously this depends on what you order and if you have wine or other drinks which will certainly increase the bill.
All drinks such as water, soft or alcoholic drinks are at your own expense at all times.
Phone calls can be made from locutorios (telephone offices) which have private booths. You pay for the cost of your call at the cash desk. Public street phones can be used for local calls. Long distance calls tend to be around US$1-3 depending on the time of day – they are cheaper in the evening and at weekends.
Email and Internet
There are numerous internet cafés throughout Argentina, and many locutorios also have internet access as well. Connections are usually quick. The fee is generally between US$2-5 per hour.
The postal service is generally reliable but airmail is expensive.
Phones in Chile are very good with cheap rates. They operate via a complicated system of telecoms companies, each with their own access code. You can buy an international phonecard from kiosks which come in denominations of CH$3000, CH$5000 and CH$10,000.
Email and Internet
Chile is the most connected country in South America when it comes to internet access. Internet cafés are common, most with broadband. Prices vary but are generally around CH$200 for 15 minutes.
The Chilean postal service is good for international mail but can be erratic for local post.
Camera film is widely available and generally of good quality in both countries. There are plenty of places to burn digital camera memory cards to CD in larger towns, but ensure you bring adequate memory cards.
Subtropical in the north, temperate in the centre and cold in the south, Argentina's climate varies widely. The Andes region is hot with high rainfall and flooding in summer, but is temperate the rest of the year despite an occasional hot wind called the Zonda. The lowlands have a distinct winter dry season, and the summer can get very hot. Patagonia is cooler and often windy. Most rainfall is on the Chilean side due to the prevailing winds. In the far south it get s very cold; there is enough ice to form the largest glaciers outside Antarctica.
With its long, thin shape stretching down the coast of South America, Chile has some dramatic variations in climate. In the north lies the Atacama Desert, where the town of Arica has the lowest rainfall figures in the world. Even so there can be heavy rainfall between December and February elsewhere in the north. Summer and winter temperatures range from 15-25°C. Central Chile has more pronounced seasonal changes with average daily highs of 29°C from December to March, to around 14°C in June. Rainfall is heaviest in the winter months. The far south sees heavy snowfall in winter and Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego can be very cold.
Our tailor made adventure holidays will truly inspire and delight the senses and will live in your memory for ever.

If your concerned about warranty, your best bet is to head to the service centre and forget about OCTANS. I would say if you updated via PC Suite, which I suppose is the official method of updating your phone firmware/Rom, and it goes wrong, then Samsung needs to deal with it.
In my case, my country hasn't even got the Omnia 2, so the service centre here wouldn't even know what to do with it if it hit them across the face. So OCTANS is really my only method. Whether it voids warranty is debatable in my opinion, because the firmware and Rom's that Secany provide are still official Samsung ROM's. Its just that they just haven't been flashed by an official means (but Samsung don't know that, so you can use that to your advantage).

Jason Becker's instrumental masterpiece, "Perpetual Burn," has been a perpetual source of inspiration — and challenge — for guitarists since it was originally released in 1988. In fact, we decided to challenge our own staff, who turned in a spot-on, 17-page transcription of Becker's shred classic in the new July 2013 issue of Guitar World magazine. Now it's time to challenge you!
If you missed the 2013 version of the Orion Music + More fest, which took place on Detroit's Belle Isle over the weekend, we hope this photo gallery will help set the scene.

GuitaWorld.com is revisiting Steve Vai's classic mag column, "The Ultra Zone," for this crash course in ear training. As I mentioned last time, a valuable method of training your ear is to practice singing the notes that you play on the guitar. I'd like to elaborate on this fun approach and offer you some specific advice on how to go about doing this on your own.

Even though Black Sabbath's new album, 13, isn't even out yet, Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler has already dropped a hint that this latest effort might not be the band's last.

Animal Factory
Dir: Steve Buscemi, 2000. Starring: Willem Dafoe, Edward Furlong, Danny Trejo, Mickey Rourke. Drama.
Animal Factory is the story of a young man (Furlong) who gets prosecuted for drug dealing. He is sent to a maximum-security prison, putting his life and soul at stake.
Edward Bunker and John Steppling's screenplay is raw to the bone writing—not trying to spice up the dialogue, rather providing a very realistic cadence to the way these prisoners speak and interact. The screenplay is based on Bunker's novel, which was inspired by his own stints in the penitentiary. Modern audiences mostly know the author as "Mr. Blue" in Quentin Tarantino's debut Reservoir Dogs.

December 2009, Vol. 131, No. 12
Nominations Sought for 2010 Julius Shiskin Award
Nominations are invited for the annual Julius Shiskin Memorial Award for Economic Statistics. The Award is given in recognition of unusually original and important contributions in the development of economic statistics or in the use of statistics in interpreting the economy. Contributions are recognized for statistical research, development of statistical tools, application of information technology techniques, use of economic statistical programs, management of statistical programs, or developing public understanding of measurement issues. The Award was established in 1980 by the Washington Statistical Society (WSS) and is now cosponsored by the WSS, the National Association for Business Economics, and the Business and Economics Statistics Section of the American Statistical Association (ASA). In 2009, Dr. Helen Stone Tice received the award for her innovative research in developing improved measures of the activities on nonprofit institutions throughout the world and for leadership in providing users with comprehensive documentation of the methodologies used for the U.S. economic accounts.
Because the program was initiated many years ago, statisticians and economists often ask, "Who was Julius Shiskin?" At the time of his death in 1978, "Julie" was the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS); he earlier served as the Chief Statistician at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the Chief Economic Statistician and Assistant Director of the Census Bureau. Throughout his career, he was known as an innovator. At Census he was instrumental in developing an electronic computer method for seasonal adjustment. In 1961, he published Signals of Recession and Recovery, which laid the groundwork for the calculation of monthly economic indicators, and he developed the monthly Census report Business Conditions Digest to disseminate them to the public. In 1969, he was appointed Chief Statistician at OMB where he developed the policies and procedures that govern the release of key economic indicators (Statistical Policy Directive Number 3), and originated a Social Indicators report. In 1973, he was selected to head BLS where he was instrumental in preserving the integrity and independence of the BLS labor force data and directed the most comprehensive revision in the history of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which included a new CPI for all urban consumers.
Nominations for the 2010 award are now being accepted. Individuals and groups in the public or private sector from any country can be nominated. The award will be presented with an honorarium of $750 plus additional recognition from the sponsors. A nomination form and a list of all previous recipients are available on the ASA Website at www.amstat.org/sections/bus_econ/shiskin.html.
For questions or more information, please contact Steven Paben, Julius Shiskin Award Committee Secretary, via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 202-691-6147.
Completed nominations must be received by March 5, 2010.

Last week, Village Trustee Wayne Jordan in a coltimn which was not sent to THE LEADER, accused Mayor William White and Ws administration of fooling the people on the subject of tax Increases.

In a final summary of his tax : figures, Jordan stated that "if. : you divide the $6.93 rate for 1973-74 by the 510.21 rate for 1977-78, you "will find there was a .67%tax hicrease in the first four years of the Mayor White- Trustee Storm administration."

Defending Pakistan
A draft policy paper for the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf.
Meinhaj Hussain, Grandestrategy.com
May 16th, 2012
"The key aspect in removing this brown sahib mentality is to carefully consider the institutional aspects by which the disease replicates itself and then making policies to judiciously correct those elements."
Despite the doom and gloom of the present crisis in the Western Front, the Pakistan defence establishment remains one of the few institutions in the Muslim world that have the ability to execute successful long-term strategic defence policies. Some of the highlights of this success include the pursuit of nuclear weapons, the establishment of such weapons manufacturing facilities as Wah, Kahuta, Kamra and Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) as well as various defence laboratories and facilities that produce everything from tanks, combat aircraft, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and a wide variety of other devices. We shall later look more closely at the vital importance of such a nascent military-industrial complex. To achieve this feat, Pakistan has had approximately 50,000 engineers, scientists and other skilled workers, and an additional 10,000-15,000 foreign qualified engineers and scientists.
I will not bore the reader with the basic data of the armed forces of Pakistan in general and other well-known information, instead this paper is going to focus on some key and lesser known aspects in the most concise manner possible. This paper will begin by looking at some of the weaknesses of the Pakistan armed forces and how they can be addressed. It will then look at the problem of building a viable military-industrial complex. Afterwards I shall move on to considering a solution to the endemic problem of military coups and finally end by considering the future of warfare. I am broadly considering a 5-10 year time-frame in this paper.
As a final word before we begin, criticism of the Pakistan armed forces is sometimes taken as unpatriotic and anti-state. The following section is written with all good intent and a desire to fix some of the issues for a better and stronger Pakistan.
1. The Problems of the Pakistan Armed Forces
1.1 Under-Equipped & Out-dated Equipment
1.2 Secular-Servile Mentality
1.3 Incompetence in the basic art of war
1.4 Joint Forces Coordination Problem
1.5 Organizational Restructure
1.6 Close Air Support
1.7 Air Defence Artillery
1.8 Air Force
1.9 Navy
2. Building Real Military Strength
3. People's Army
3.1 A Three-tiered Army
4. The Future Ahead.
4.1 Air Defence and the Future

Hey Vermonter's I am looking to start a paintball team in the Rutland area. My name is Scott, I am 25 years old and love the sport! I play woodsball and looking to get into speedball. I have plenty of gear (enough for 6 other people to play) if they dont already own gear. This would be a great opportunity to play some paintball and meet some new people. I just moved to the area not too long ago and haven't found anybody locally that wants in... Let me know if you are at all interested! Hope to hear from you all soon,
-Scott (Vermont Woods)

'Black Ice' is in stores now and the critics are raving about it! The 15 song album is an instant AC/DC classic. The Vancouver Sun declares "On their 15th longplayer, the band is in full rock 'em sock 'em mode, blasting away like a bunch of crazed teenagers intent on giving themselves some serious tinnitus.†Metro goes on to say that "AC/DC seem so appealingly familiar that even when Brian Johnson screeches and thrusts his way through tracks such as War Machine and Spoilin' For A Fight, it comes across as a jolly singalong.â€
Be sure to pick up your copy of the album today to make sure our favorite Aussies top the charts with this impressive new release!

Check out Exclaim! this month for this killer timeline that highlights AC/DC's career since the beginning. The timeline spans their early days in 1963 up until the new 2008 release 'Black Ice'

Created by Harmonix, the leading developer of music-based games, and MTV Games, AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack marks the first time ever the band has offered an entire album for video game play.
AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will feature the master recordings from the best of the band's live performances specially remixed for Rock Band by Mike Fraser, who mixed the band's forthcoming album, 'Black Ice', at the Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, BC. Players will be able rock-out to 18 of AC/DC's biggest hits, allowing for more than 99 minutes of game play for each instrument. Included are:
"Shoot to Thrill"
"Back in Black"
"Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be"
"Fire Your Guns"
"The Jack"
"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"
"Hells Bells"
"High Voltage"
"Whole Lotta Rosie"
"You Shook Me All Night Long"
"Let There Be Rock"
"Highway To Hell"
"For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)"Full of the band's classic songs, the game will be available in Canada at all fine retailers in November. All tracks from the AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will also be available for play in Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and other compatible music game peripherals.
"When MTV first launched in 1981, we promised that people would 'never look at music the same way again' and, with Rock Band, we continue to fulfill this commitment," stated Paul DeGooyer, MTV's Senior Vice President of Electronic Games & Music. "We're excited to be part of AC/DC's and Columbia's global plan for the release of their new album, DVD and now, videogame. Being the first to present these revered songs in interactive form, exclusively on the Rock Band platform is a true honor. For those about to rock with the AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack, we salute you!"
"AC/DC fans can now experience performing live, on stage with the band," said Columbia Records co-Chairman Steve Barnett. "An unforgettable concert is now an ultimate at-home entertainment experience with the AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack."
The AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will be available in Canada on November 2nd on XBox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 and on November 16th for Wii.

After selling out their first batch of dates in no time at all, AC/DC added more North American dates to their tour due to the incredibly high demand.
The first eighteen dates sold out in record time, and shows have been added in Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Oakland due to unprecedented fan response. The first Toronto date at the Rogers Centre sold out in fifteen minutes; faster than any concert in the venue's history, and Vancouver's General Motors Place concert sold out in 4 minutes, a record for that venue as well!
On-sale information for tickets to the second Toronto concert will be announced at a later date. Keep your eyes on this site or sign up to the newsletter to find out!

Hi! I'll try to keep this thread updated with the latest versions of my (and others') scripts to enhance the site. Subscribe to this topic (you can also click on the same message at the bottom of this page) to receive an e-mail when new information appears here.
How does it work?
These scripts adds or changes the functionality / design of some parts of the site. They require Firefox browser and Greasemonkey. When you have both installed, just click on a link for a script, click "install" and you're done! You can disable or remove a script whenever you want.
LINKS FOR DICTIONARIES (and other kanji info) AND STROKE ORDER DIAGRAM
[version 0.8, 29.05.2007]
Show links to other sites with information about the kanjis, such as meanings, readings, compounds, stroke order diagrams, and so on. Hover the cursor over a kanji in the review / study area to see the links and SODs.
These are sample links for the kanji 課, chapter (frame 1123):
- Jim Breen's WWWJDIC Kanji Display
- Rick Harbaugh's Chinese Character Links
- Wiktionary (new!) (also see the one for 会, it is more interesting) ;-)
- Taka Stroke Order Diagrams
- Google
- Google Images.
It is enough for me, but if anyone have a good suggestion, tell me and I'll update the script with more links.
[version 0.4, 25.01.2007, updated by woelpad]
On the study pages, a sign like this will appear by the side of the user's names -> [+]. Click on the [+] sign and the story is copied to you area. No more copy-and-paste! :-D
[version 0.7, 08.06.2007]
You can enter blank lines while editing your stories, but they show up just as (horizontal) spaces when displayed. This script will show blank lines as you typed then. As of version 0.5, it will also alert you when your story is greater than 512 bytes, saying how many bytes must be removed.
Last edited by Ricardo (2007 July 07, 10:57 pm)
Thanks Ricardo, these are excellent! Adopting a story is a feature I'd been wanting for a while
I've noticed a bug that appears on the study page when your scripts are enabled, however. For some reason, the keyword in your story box is no longer bolded. If you disable Greasemonkey and refresh the page, the keyword will be bolded again.
I should probably help you hunt down the bug, but I just thought I'd report it at least.
Last edited by rgravina (2006 August 11, 12:35 am)
I believe the story with line breaks script is doing it.
storyview.innerHTML = textarea.innerHTML.replace(/\*(.+?)\*/g, '$1') .replace(/\#(.+?)\#/g, '$1').replace(/\n/g, '
');
This line here will work only if you use # to delimit the keyword. When it is spelled normally, it usually isn't used. Hence, you won't be putting the bold tags around it.
One solution would be to surround any string matching the keyword with bold tags also. There is a DIV tag that looks like this on the study page:

keyword

But I believe to get at it you need a unique ID? If not, you're set.
A more elegant solution might be to use the existing code created by Fabrice, and then swap carriage returns for
's?
Sorry, I'm not too familiar with the site design/code at this stage.

Exactly! As I always use #'s, I never had the problem... :-)

The HTML code of the formatted story doesn't have any CR / LF (Fabrice's code strip them). :-(
I'm sorry but I'm not sure about the best way to fix this, but as it's a minor problem, I suggest to add the #'s where they belong... when I find the time I might fix it (or maybe someone else might want to give it a try).
Thanks for the feedback!
Only downloaded the "Copy Story" script so far, but I love it. A real time-saver.
I've even enhanced it with an extra link for those stories that have their keywords in uppercase. When clicking this added link (a little 'o') the story will be copied to the story box with all uppercased words lowercased and either slanted or in bold face (occasionally both). I tried it out on a range of examples and it seems to work ok in most cases, and doesn't act too badly in the odd few out. It doesn't capitalize keywords at the start of a sentence and it doesn't make exception for abbreviations or exclamations, but these are small points.
Ricardo, if you give me an address, I'll send you the adapted script so that you can upload it to your site.
*Edit* Silly, I didn't notice the email link at the bottom of the poster's information block before. Will use that instead.
Last edited by woelpad (2006 November 24, 5:03 pm)
Ricardo replied to me twice, but seemed to be too busy to introduce my change. Therefore, I'm making it available here:
Kanji.Koohii: Copy Story
Includes both the original (for which I should really get Ricardo's permission, I guess) and the lowercasing code.
Last edited by woelpad (2006 December 12, 9:48 pm)
Ricardo released his under the copyleft license, which means I should be in the clear modifying it and redistributing the modified script free of charge.
I've now also uploaded a modified version of the Kanji.Koohii: Story with Line Breaks, which fixes the keyword bolding problem earlier mentioned, as well as uppercasing the initial letter and adding a dot, similar to the small tweaks of the original site code. Small difference: I only add a dot if the final character is a letter or a number. So no dots after a bracket and the like (will still be added if you make your story public though).

Yet another script: Kanji.Koohii: Add upto flashcard number. Requested in the Add flashcards thread.
Last edited by woelpad (2006 December 18, 11:06 pm)
Feels like I'm monopolizing this thread Another script, this time to overcome a minor quirk in the study area and improve the efficiency of updating stories even further.
Ever noticed how after canceling a story, then editing it again (or copying in another story with the Copy Story script), the canceled text would always reappear? Feels quite counterintuitive, even if once in a while you might indeed have pushed Cancel inadvertantly and regretted it afterwards if not for this "feature".
Kanji.Koohii: Clear and restore story tries to remedy this by offering a Restore button after having canceled a story, and otherwise behaving predictably (no unexpected reappearances). It also has a Clear button to quickly clear the story area and start a new one (or copy another one from the contributing list). Enjoy.
Don't feel like that, I'm sure everyone appreciates it!
I had a go at writing a simple script yesterday to change the font family for kanji that appear on flashcards. I was able to change it ok, but I found that (at least on the mac), it was very picky about font names. I tried the display name, the postscript name, and (where the names contained kanji) an escaped version of each. In fact, the only CJK font I could get it recognise at all was Kai, which is Chinese and doesn't seem to contain many of the japanese kanji.
Any assistance would be appreciated!
No Mac available here. You could google a bit on japanese font families supported by the Firefox browser on Mac, or simply look up a few Japanese sites and see what fonts they are using and how they define it. E.g. the kanji.koohii site requests your browser to either use MS Mincho or MS Gothic.
How do I know? Upon visiting the page, I inspect the page source (in your browser's View menu, or using the Ctrl+U shortcut) looking for <link rel="stylesheet" ...>, then opening the page to which the href attribute refers to, usually on the same site. In this case: /css/base1.css. Open that page and look for the style class the kanji on the original page is written in.
In the page source you can find the kanji in Unicode (colored in red in the page source reader), surrounded by
一
. Bingo, the kanji style class. Look it up in the css file: .rtkframe .kanji { font: 50pt "MS Mincho", "MS Gothic"; margin-top: 10px; } Easy as pie.
Last edited by woelpad (2006 December 20, 7:37 pm)
I don't know if this is possible with Greasemonkey, but the Yamasa online dictionary has handwriting samples for a number of kanji (see the What does your writing look like? thread for more info). You can link to the GIFs directly by Nelson index. Any way of doing this through Greasemonkey?
Thanks for the work guys! Especially to Woelpad for answering my request for Kanji Frame number entry.
Greasing it in? More scripts to answer a few requests. Kanji.Koohii: Change kanji font, what colonel32 was trying to do; for background and usage, see the Font used in review card thread. Furthermore Kanji.Koohii: Tag title, requested by dingomick in Suggestion: Page Title. Fun to do, but I'm forgetting to study my kanjis. Hmmm
Last edited by woelpad (2007 February 23, 3:21 am)
Use the gifts you're blessed with! Thanks!
Flattery works. So much so that I can now scrap the "Tag Title" script, because the site creator has in the (short) mean time already implemented it. For more details and tips on how to deactivate the script in your browser, see the Suggestion: Page Title thread.
*edit* Altered to deal with the Forum title instead, as described in the same thread. Works also in Opera. *edit*

Thanks, the same goes for you. BTW, any chance that you make your "Download to PalmTop" tool public?
I've made an update to the "Change Kanji Font" script. For details, see the Font used in review card thread.
Made an update to the Kanji.Koohii: Story with Line Breaks script. It now recognizes multiple keywords and will uppercase the first letter and add a dot for each paragraph.
Released Kanji.Koohii: Substitute keywords. Particulars can be found in the Substitute keywords thread. Also any updates will only be reported in that thread.
Anyone here used this scripts with Trixie? (Trixie is to Internet Explorer as Greasemonkey is to Firefox)
I made a test with my scripts (didn't try woelpad's yet), and just the "Line Breaks" works. The script with "Kanji Links" gives an error, and the "Copy Story" doesn't seem to do nothing... :-(
Maybe I'll try to make the scripts compatible with Trixie, so they can help out much more people... but as always, I don't have right now the spare time to take another project on my list.
Last edited by Ricardo (2007 January 19, 6:42 am)
Tried Trixie over the weekend and I'm not holding my breath.
First off, it requires the Microsoft .NET Framework, which needs to be downloaded for XP, but is part of the base installation for Server 2003 and Vista. Other platforms, you're out of luck. The download and installation took about an hour on my home PC. I'm betting that quite a few people that didn't install FireFox yet don't like or have explicit orders not to install anything extra on their machines.
Second, the latest update for Trixie was June 2005. GM is a project that's still under active development, the latest version dating from Oct. 2006. Notably in the security area, never M$'s strongest point, they did quite a few things, as can be read here. Will Trixie support all the things I rely upon? I have my doubts, though the proof is in tasting.
Third, there doesn't seem to be an error console in IE, making it hard to debug. More than ever it will be trial and error trying to fix things (heavy use of alert() is always an option of course).
I tried the simplest script of all, the one for adding flashcards, and it gave me an error on loading. That's about the current status.
I have far more confidence in a different browser that claims support for GreaseMonkey,
Conversion to Opera successful. Read more about it in this thread.
Just found out that Sleipnir, which falls in the same category as FireFox and Opera, has its own script handling extension, called UserAction. Sleipnir is built by a Japanese company and it's quite popular in Japan. Anyone of you using this? I.e. does it make sense to investigate their script feature any further?
*edit* Gave up on Trixie. The installation of .NET seemed to have a significant negative effect on the startup-time of my PC, so I quickly uninstalled it. *edit*
Last edited by woelpad (2007 February 23, 2:21 am)
Update to the Kanji.Koohii: Copy Story script. Improved handling of troublesome HTML code: '&' (which would previously show up as '&') and the like, and unnesting nested tags (e.g. bold tags within bold tags).
*edit* Edited the link to point to the right script. *edit*

Health Information
Physical Development, Ages 11 to 14 Years
Topic Overview
Adolescence is a time of rapid growth in height and weight and of physical changes throughout the body. Most of these changes occur near the time of Reference puberty Opens New Window, which in the United States and Canada usually begins for girls between the ages of 9 and 11, and for most boys between the ages of 9½ and 13.
Breast buds—slight elevation and enlargement of the nipple area—are one of the first signs of puberty in girls. Also, pubic hair usually starts growing around the same time. In boys, the first sign of puberty is that the testicles increase in size, followed by the growth of pubic hair and by penis lengthening.
Girls usually grow rapidly during early puberty. Then growth slows down with the first menstrual period (menarche), which most commonly happens sometime between ages 11 and 14. (It can happen as early as age 9 or up to age 15.) For boys, the height spurt occurs after other signs of puberty have developed. While boys lag behind girls in height in early adolescence, they typically end up being taller than girls. This happens because after growth starts, boys grow at a faster rate and for a longer period of time. Girls reach their approximate adult height around 16 years of age, and boys at about 18 years of age.Reference 1
There has been a long-term trend toward earlier puberty and larger growth related to better health and nutrition. Also, race seems to affect the timing of puberty. For example, African American and Mexican American girls may have breast development earlier than Caucasian girls.
The surging Reference hormones Opens New Window related to puberty often stimulate the sex drive in both males and females. It is normal for members of both genders to masturbate in private. Hormones may also trigger episodes of difficult behavior, such as challenging parents and other authority figures.
Growth in body parts may occur out of sync with each other. For example, the nose, arms, and legs may grow faster than the rest of the body. Other physical development during puberty usually includes:
- Bone growth, which increases your child's height.
- An increase in skull bone thickness. The forehead becomes more prominent and the jaw grows forward.
- Weight gain. A teen's weight almost doubles during adolescence.
- Changes in body fat composition. The amount of body fat in boys increases. And girls' existing body fat shifts to the pelvis, breasts, and upper back.
- An increase in the size of organs. The heart doubles in weight, and lung size increases.
- Growth of facial hair in boys. Hair growth usually starts on the upper lip, gradually reaches the cheeks, and then the chin area.
Gynecomastia, the development of breast tissue, occurs in many boys during early puberty to middle puberty. It usually goes away in 6 months to 2 years.

I just installed head phones and it see,s to give me some errors. I followed the total htpc guide.
When I launch application from the icon in my windows explorer, it fails to add the "/home" to the URL and as result ie fails to open right URL.
If I amend URL with /home manually it opens. However once I add an artist (eg lady gaga) it does not show her real albums. Same for 2pac. So I manually add artists, after a bit it finds albums, but gives me invalid URL if trying to add album to download.
Anyone experience such issues?

Kevyn Collins-Thompson is a Researcher in the Context, Learning, and User Experience for Search group at Microsoft Research (Redmond). The CLUES group does research at the intersection of information retrieval, human-computer interaction (HCI) and machine learning.
My primary research goal is to develop algorithms for improving information systems that can reliably and automatically adapt to users and their information needs, especially to help human learning. A key component of my work involves modeling and understanding users' information-seeking behavior and how people interact with information in different contexts.
One area of special interest is development of robust algorithms for risk-sensitive information systems that can effectively balance risk and reward, a research direction that I introduced in my PhD thesis. This work connects information retrieval with portfolio theory and other areas of computational finance to arrive at new models, algorithms, and evaluation methods that account for risk. For example, it shows how the reliability of algorithms for core IR tasks like ranking and query expansion can be greatly improved by using learning frameworks that jointly optimize for risk and reward objectives.
I'm also interested in large-scale data and text mining, natural language processing, educational applications of IR and machine learning like predicting reading difficulty and computer-assisted language learning, and how the brain acquires language skills.
My Ph.D. is from the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, where my advisor was Jamie Callan. I was a member of the Language Technologies Institute. My undergraduate degree (B.Math.) is from the University of Waterloo. Apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks that CMU and Waterloo are a great combination!Context, Learning, and User Experience for Search Group's home page.

In Response to 87 year old looking for easy to use netbook: i am looking for an easy to use netbook or tablet. This book must be durable as I am prone to dropping things from 2-3 feet off the floor, my floors are carpeted, but my son says that an iPad is out since they break to easily and that I should look into a sturdy netbook. All I wan't to do is use facebook and use gmail. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. J Posted by jeanhawkins23 That is a difficult request to meet since so much of this technology has weak points whether it be the screen or the hard drive. An Ulta book could help you with the drive if it has an SSD instead of a hard drive since there are not moving parts in an SSD as there is with a hard drive. The problem is that it drives up the cost. Ignoring part of what you requested I can tell you about a netbook I bought my wife. I was considering a tablet or an IPAD but she had no desire for anything but a wifi connection. I came across a netbook at Costco which was only 349 and it included a 500gb hard drive and 4 gb of memory. Its size is not much more than a tablet and it has a lot more power. She is delighted with it. It does not have a cd/dvd drive but it has a usb port so you can use flash drives to copy files. Some netebooks go down to 10 inches but of all those I saw, they only had 2 gb of memory and it was not a full version of Windows 7. My wife has commenyed many times how much she likes it, Her main reason for wanting it was to set up her recipes on a system which she could take into the kitchen and use there. Even if I got her a tablet, she would want a holder so it would not lie flat and an optional keyboard to enter a lot of informmation. One of the benefits of Costco is they extend the warranties of theit pc's. |
