Talks about office supplies usually center around pen, printing papers, marker, glue and post-its. Staplers are usually the last thing on everybody's mind, and most of the times, they are bought only when some documents need to be joined together.
In layman terms, a stapler is a mechanical device that joins sheets of paper or similar material by driving a thin metal staple through the sheets and folding the ends. Whether it's a government office, an eatery, a business office or a home, staplers are always a necessity.
Staplers, invented in the 18th century in France for King Louis XV, are a third-class lever. They are manufactured from metal as well as plastic.
There are five methods of stapling. Let's have a look into them.
- Permanent fastening: Under this method, items are bound together by driving the staple through the material and into an anvil – a small metal plate that bends the ends – usually inward. Most of the today's staplers have a rotating or a sliding anvil to change between bending the staple ends inward for permanent stapling or outward for pinning.
- Pinning: This method binds documents and other items temporarily. To pin the items, the anvil will slide or rotate so that the staple bends outwards instead of inwards. Some of the staplers pin materials together by bending one leg of the staple inwards and the other outwards. This kind of pining can be easily removed.
- Tacking: This method attaches objects such as bulletin boards to surfaces. A tacking stapler will have a base that folds back out of the way so that the staples can be directly put into an object rather than fold against the anvil. A tacking device without base or anvil is called a staple gun.
- Saddle staplers: These staplers are generally used for making booklets as they have an inverted "V"-shaped saddle for stapling pre-fold sheets.
- Stapleless staplers: Invented in 1910, these staplers staple documents by punching out a small flap of paper and weaving it through a notch.
Types of staplers
There are basically two types of staplers: manual and electric. Most of the manual staplers are hand-held but models that are used while set on a desk or other surface are also available in the market. For electric ones, several types of designs and models are available. They are primarily designed to join large numbers of paper sheets together quickly and smoothly. Generally used for industrial purpose, some of the electric staplers can join up to 20 sheets at a time.
For a normal stapling job, a desktop version – manual or electrical – is a good option. These staplers will fasten from two to 15 pages without any problem. Apart from being inexpensive, refilling them is easy.
For office purpose, a plier stapler is a good option as it can be used with one hand, and can staple up to 50 sheets at a time. These staplers can staple heavy envelopes without any problem.
For stapling books, programs and menus, go for long arm staplers. Their extended arm can span the length of the pages up to twelve inches, and can staple as many as twenty-five sheets of paper at a time. They are good for projects that require center stapling.
But for heavier jobs, opting for industrial type staplers – manual or electrical – is better as they can staple as many as 50 to 100 sheets at once. When the stapling task is large and time consuming, electric industrial type staplers are ideal.
If you are thinking to buy staplers, visit Acedepot.com. There you will find brands such as Swingline, Carl, GBC, Martin Yale, Master and Stanley Bostitch that offer optimum performance.

Ramen Kagetsu Arashi (Taipei)
November 24, 2011 in Best Of, Food, Reviews, Taiwan, Travel by pacejmiller
I love ramen. Did I mention I love ramen?
Unfortunately, having lived in Japan before, I have tasted the best this magnificent invention has to offer, and accordingly, everything else I have tasted outside of Japan pales in comparison.
However, I have heard good things about ramen in Taiwan, especially because a lot of the ramen restaurants are popular Japanese franchises. One of the best, apparently, is Ramen Kagetsu Arashi (らあめん花月嵐).
One busy evening, we went to the new Ramen Kagetsu Arashi store in the B2 food court of the new Hankyu Department Store in Taipei. The Hankyu Department Store is THE place to be right now because it's connected directly with the Taipei City Hall MRT Station as well as the Eslite bookstore building, my favourite bookstore on the planet. And the food court there is one of the most amazing I have ever set foot in. I'll be damned if I don't get to try every single restaurant and piece of cake in that place!
The problem with Hankyu is that it is almost always guaranteed to be jam packed. We started lining up at around 5pm and got in at 5:30pm, and if you go after 6 chances are the wait will be an hour or more. You might have better luck at the foodcourt of the Vieshow cinemas nearby.
Anyway, the Arashi menu has four main types of ramen, all of which feature the "genkotsu" (pork fist bone) soup base, loads and loads of garlic and lard! Healthy! There is the regular type, which utilises soy; the spicy type, which of course has lots of chilli; the miso type, which uses miso instead of soy; and the white type, which uses natural salt for flavour. There are always some seasonal specials but I assumed if the specials were that good they'd be on the regular menu, so I passed.
We went with the regular type ramen, which is supposedly the most popular. There are lots of additions you can pay for, such as extra spring onions, corn, egg, cabbage, sesame seeds and so fort. You can also get additional chashu (meat) because all ramen only come with two slices of pork, but that was enough for me. We also didn't get the meal set, which is essentially a beverage and a small bowl of rice with fried garlic sauce for an additional charge.
The aroma from the garlic in the soup was so strong that it made me drool. On top of that they can also give you extra cloves of fresh garlic which you can crush and toss into the soup, if you want to stink even more. The size of the bowl is decent — big enough to fill you up but not too big so as to make you get sick of it.
On every table is a range of condiments you can add to enhance the flavour if you so desire — chilli oil, chilli powder, vinegar, soy, special sauce and spices, etc. For me, the flavour of the soup was strong enough.
So was the ramen good? Yes. Very good. The ramen soup is the key, and Arashi's is sublime. The soup is so thick that it is opaque, and you can see the tiny blobs of fat floating in there, but I tell myself it's just the garlic (some of it is). The meat is also quite good, soft but not quite to the extent where it melts in your mouth. The noodles are average because they are not hand made, but then again, most ramen stores don't make their own noodles. In all, good enough to rival some of the ramen places I visited in Japan, but not quite in my "pantheon". That said, it's definitely good enough to warrant return visits, once you get the garlic smell out of your system.
But hang on, we didn't just have the ramen. We also got a hot plate rice. This dish is much like the stuff they serve at "Pepper Lunch", another Japanese franchise. Essentially, they give you a hot plate with fried rice and butter on it, which keeps cooking as you eat. We got, you guessed it, the garlic flavoured one. We figured if we were going to stink we might as well go all the way.
The rice was pretty nice — but then again, any time you mix garlic and butter it's not going to taste too bad. It was, as expected, a little on the oily side, but still a nice complement to the ramen.
I have to try more ramen places in Taipei, but at the end of the day, I would be very surprised if Ramen Kagetsu Arashi is not one of the better ramen places in all of Taiwan.
8.5 out of 10!

Bill Would Fund Evaluations for Minnesota Teachers
ST. PAUL (AP) — Lawmakers will discuss legislation this week that would help schools pay for evaluations of teachers.
Legislation passed in 2010 requires that teachers be evaluated on their classroom performance, and on the academic performance of their students. Those evaluations will start in the 2014-2015 school year.
But DFL Rep. Connie Bernardy says the 2010 legislation is an unfunded mandate. She says she's trying to get funding to ensure the teacher evaluation system is effective.
Bernardy's bill doesn't have a dollar figure attached to it. It's estimated the evaluation system could cost anywhere from $80 million to more than $200 million annually.
Bernardy says her measure would require that the state give schools money to pay for the evaluations.

It is very difficult for an outsider to write the worst Washington Post op-ed on a Friday because the columns of E.J. Dionne and Michael Kinsley appear that day. However, Shibley Telhami of the University of Maryland and the Brookings Institution accomplished this feat yesterday (aided, to be sure, by the fact that Dionne's piece was a tribute to Daniel Patrick Moynihan). Telhami attacks "the prevailing view in Washington that military victory will fix everything in the end." He objects that the defeat of Iraq will only cause despairing Arabs to turn to non-state miltant groups. Thus, he continues, military victory will not bring about peace throughout the Middle East.
The first problem with Telhami's argument is that no one is arguing that military victory in Iraq will "fix everything" or bring about peace throughout the Middle East. The Administration is promising that victory will fix two things — it will bring about the substantial disarmament of Iraq and it will make Iraq a far better place for its citizens. In addition, the Administration probably hopes that victory will help undermine the regime in Iran and that it will at least deter states like Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia from supporting terrorism. In the longer term, it may also hope that a relatively free and successful Iraqi state might one day provide inspiration to the region as a whole, but I don't think anyone expects this to occur soon.
The second problem with Telhami's piece is that he seems to assume that little is gained when states cease to be the instrument of Arab militancy because the militants turn to informal organizations. But the issue isn't whether the U.S. is better off being threatened by states or by informal terrorists organizations. The issue is whether the informal organizations that threaten us will have access to the vast resources of states like Iraq. The war against Iraq is an attempt to ensure that they won't.
Telhami points to Israel's experience. He says that the defeat of Nasser led to the emergence of independent Palestinian groups, and that military action against Lebanon has not ended militancy in Lebanon. However, Nasser posed a far greater short-term threat to Israel's existence than any Palestinian group does, and military action against Lebanon, to the extent that it was sustained, made Israel safer. These military actions didn't "fix everything," but they kept Israel ahead in its ongoing struggle to survive, which was their crucial purpose.
The final problem with Telhami's article pertains to his conclusion that we should reject "the overwhelming use of force as a primary instrument of foreign policy." The problem here centers around Telhami's view of what we should replace that instrument with, namely (big surprise) Arab-Israeli "peacemaking." Telhami assumes that "a fair, negotiated settlement of the Arab-Israeli dispute" would, essentially, fix everything. In reality it likely would fix nothing because only the elimination of Israel will satisfy Arab militants. Concessions only persuade these militants that Israel and the U.S. are weak, and thus fuel new acts of militancy. This is the experience of the 1990s, which Telhami, for all of discussion of historical record, overlooks. Our two major military excursions of the 1990s — in Kuwait and Kosovo — both assisted Muslims. The same would have been true of Clinton's primary diplomatic initiative, the one that culminated at Camp David with Arafat turning down Israel's overly generous offer. None of this curbed Arab militancy; to the contrary such militancy increased to unprecedented levels. Ossam bin Laden himself has said that various instances of perceived U.S. weakness were crucial to the success of his organization. The overwhelming use of force may not fix everything, but it should help fix that one thing, which is sorely in need of fixing.

Newbie girl here LOL
I have an Irritrol Rain Dial Plus. It has been working just fine since its initial install 1999. Now it is no longer coming on per the program. I can run it in the 'manual' mode just fine. I have unplugged and looked inside where the board is to see if I can visualize any evidence of 'burned' relays or wires or poor connections and nothing obvious to me. I went ahead and replaced the 9v battery and re-set the time for approx. 30 min later in order to test. It still didn't work.
Any ideas???
Does it make sense that the problem is most likely the controller since the system runs fine in 'manual'? If so, I can purchase a new controller. Thanks again!
Thank you!

The first direct shipments of U.S. rice to Iraq since before the Gulf War have begun to arrive at the port of Umm Qasr, officials with the USA Rice Federation announced.
The initial shipments, which arrived in late June and early July, are being distributed around the country free of charge by the Iraqi Ministry of Trade. Subsequent shipments will be delivered to retail outlets.
The first shipments were for a 60,000-metric ton contract announced April 7, said Khalil Assi, director-general of Iraq's State Company for Grain Trade. U.S. exporters have reported total sales to Iraq for 180,000 metric tons of rice.
"The Trade Ministry is looking forward to building a long-term partnership with the USA Rice Federation and working with its members to ensure sufficient quantities of American rice are available to the people of Iraq through food ration centers and retail outlets," Assi told reporters.
"Iraq is an important market for American rice producers, and we are delighted to be back in Iraq commercially, in supermarkets and grocery stores, and through the government's program," USA Rice Chairman Lee Adams said from his office in Houston.
USDA figures show that Iraq's consumption of U.S. rice peaked in 1987 when it imported 513,000 metric tons out of a total consumption of 547,000 metric tons, meaning that 94 percent of Iraq's imported rice in 1987 came from the United States.
Commercial rice shipments to Iraq ceased after 1990 as a result of an embargo placed on Iraq during the Gulf War. The only U.S. rice shipments to Iraq were non-commercial World Food Program shipments in 2000 and 2003 of only 31,000 and 41,00 metric tons, respectively. There were no shipments of rice in 2001, 2002 and 2004.
The loss of the Iraqi rice market to U.S. rice for the entire 1991-2003 period conservatively totaled nearly $2 billion, according to the federation.
Experts estimate that the current demand for rice in Iraq is just over 1 million metric tons per year.

While engineers and designers feverishly worked overtime on the advancement of a four-passenger cars they code-named the F-car, the Chevy public relations, advertising and marketing team prepared the world for the intro of an automobile they called the Panther.
All through the summertime of 1965 essentially every aspect of the car's design and development, from preliminary design sketches to clay models, was photographed and thoroughly documented. Chevy utilized the assets to develop a 30 -minute film The Camaro for sale in White Marsh MD , which was later shown on TELEVISION and in movie theaters. They also introduced females's clothing called the Camaro Collection as well as a Camaro roadway race online game.
Chevy Camaros For Sale
In November, Chevy sales executives and innovative people previewed prototype models at the GM Tech Center. Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's venerable advertising agency, instantly began work on brochures, direct-mail advertising and sales promo products, along with print, outside and TV/radio advertising. In April 1966, at the New York Automobile Program Interview, Chevrolet sales executives admitted no name had actually been selected for the brand-new automobile, however did announce that pricing of 1967 Chevy Camaro for sale in White Marsh MD model will remain in the Corvair-Chevy II range.
Throughout early 1966 Chevy agonized over a name for its Mustang-killer. GM's upper management was nervous about the aggressive connotations of the Panther name. A comparable bout of cold feet would later on cause the Pontiac version, code named the Banshee, to be renamed Firebird. Over its short lifetime, the F-car had been called by numerous names consisting of Wildcat, Chaparral, Leader and Nova. It's likewise reported that Chevy thought about utilizing the letters "GM" in the name, and created G-Mini, which developed into GeMini and lastly Gemini. However, GM's upper management vetoed the idea, fearing the automobile might be a failure.
Automotive legend has it that somebody at Chevrolet finally proposed the name Camaro and upper management quickly concurred. Although the name has no real significance, GM scientists supposedly discovered the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "friend" or "companion." It's reported that Ford Motor Business scientists also discovered other meanings, consisting of "a shrimp-like animal" and an arcane term for "loose bowels."
Since a number or pre-launch products had actually currently been launched utilizing the Panther name, Chevy's most pushing challenge was to now relabel their brand-new Mustang killer, the Camaro. Camaros are found in White Marsh MD by looking for classic car dealers.
Finally, on June 28, 1966, General Motors held a live interview in Detroit's Statler-Hilton Hotel. It was the first time in history that 14 cities were hooked up in real time for an interview by means of telephone lines. Elliot M. "Pete" Estes, who replaced "Bunkie" Knudsen as Chevrolet General Manager in July 1965, began the news conference by proclaiming all participants were now charter members of the Society for the Removal of Panthers from the Automotive World (SEPAW.) Estes with confidence revealed that Camaro was selected as the name for Chevy's new four-passenger cars to honor the tradition of beginning Chevy design names with the letter C such as the Corvette, Corvair, Chevelle, and Chevy II.

Next weekend, a nearly 20-year-old tradition at Germantown Friends School will continue with two nights of singing by a capella groups from a number of Northwest Philadelphia schools.
On Feb. 8 and 9, the school will host the highly anticipated annual A Cappella Fest, showcasing eight different groups over the course of the event.
The preview concert on Friday (7-8:30 p.m.) will feature the Penn Charter Quaker's Dozen, the Baldwin B-Flats, the Temple OwlCapella, and the GFS A Cappella.
The main concert on Saturday (8-10:30 p.m.) will include the Springside Chestnut Hill Academy Hillstones, the Penn Charter Quaker's Dozen, the Springside Chestnut Hill Academy Laurelei, the Keystone State Boychoir Grads, the Tufts Amalgates, and of course, the GFS A Cappella.
The A Cappella Fest has been taking place at GFS for almost two decades, featuring both high school and collegiate groups as well as individual performers, including notable performances by Bobby McFerrin and JD Walter, a progressive jazz vocalist.
"It's exciting to watch other groups perform because each group brings its own energy to the stage," said Dana Schulman, a junior and the first female beat boxer to be in the GFS A Cappella.
To conclude its set, GFS will perform a surprise medley, which is always a Fest highlight. Last year's Fest medley ended with the group members spraying the director, Allen Drew with Silly String on stage.
"The group has a great dynamic," said Schulman. "We have a lot of fun together and it shows when we perform."
The Fest is the GFS A Cappella's biggest performance of the year. Tickets can be purchased in advance by calling the school at 215-951-2300.

Card fraud-fearing Brit terrorists carry cash
Four in five of Brits are worried about possible fraud if they use their cards overseas with many (60 per cent) choosing to carry cash instead. Card cloning tops the list of fraud worries (46 per cent) followed by card not present fraud (42 per cent) among a sample of 1,700 Brits quizzed on behalf of marketing and travel …
Every time you withdraw cash from a non-Nationwide account, you're subject to a charge for using an overseas ATM. So even if you do use cash rather than plastic, you're being ripped off.
As for just taking cash over with you, just yesterday morning, two Germans in my dorm had around €500 stolen from a handbag (we think by another two Germans in another room who legged it). So, yeah - there's a one in a gazillion chance your card will be cloned and you'll lose cash that you can claim back through your credit card. Or a slim chance you'll have your pocket picked or your bag gone through and you'll never see the money again.
If you *are* going to carry lump sums, spread it around - different pockets, different bags.
I'm sure you're at more risk with a large wad of cash than you are with plastic. Just take the same precautions you would at home, and if the worst happens; that's what insurance for.
NB. Your bank can also help; when I took a year off to go travelling, my bank's (HSBC) fraud team were all over my international movements like a rash; this was sometimes annoying (they always seemed to freeze my card at the most inconvienient time), but it proved they were diligient about potential dodginess.
What a crock of shit - "but consumers are still not taking the basic security steps needed to protect themselves"....
Seems to me they taking more secure steps. If you use cash you don't have to take all those extra security steps. Looks like people are catching on to the scam of plastic money and going back to cash. Everyone gets screwed by plastic money - the consumer and the merchant both. The only people plastic money benefits are the banks/card issuers. Screw 'em.
People seem to forget that a lot of 'card fraud abroad' is the result of cards being skimmed *in the UK* and then used abroad where there is no chip&pin to prevent it. Not taking the card abroad won't change that.
As to taking cash instead, that is plain daft. When it gets nicked you have no comeback, at least with card fraud you have bank guarantees and travel insurance to fall back on.
I've had my cards stopped by my bank for using it the mainland - even when I've told them I'm going on holiday to exotic places, e.g. Zeebrugge.
Add in bizzare charges for currency conversions or using ATMs in other countries, it really doesn't make it convenient for travelling
I've gone back to the wad of Euros gaffa taped to my bollocks for security when I go travelling, it's harder for my bank to screw me up.
That's why they advise you to tell them if you are going abroad you numpty.
If they did not have fraud monitoring systems and charged you for the lot you'd be crying foul.
Yes cards charge fees but its a helluva lot safer than carrying notes/greenbacks/coinage or however you want to term your currency.
I always use cash when abroad (other than large purchases), but unlike a lot of people, I have no issues with getting cash out of a machine over there... so I get the best of both worlds (no large pile of cash for any pickpockets!)
Most people worry about their card company stinging them with charges for getting cash out abroad, but in my case I've found that they charge a small fee, but still works out as a better exchange rate than when I got the euros over here!
I'd rather not be carrying a wad of hundreds of £ in foreign cash (that I'd likely have got at a rip off tourist exchange rate) and get mugged whilst looking like the typical Brit tourist that I am, than risk plastic.
Just carry some back up cards and the phone number of the relevant card issuer to get it stopped and report relevant fraud.
Though I do agree there is a higher risk. Many places in America for example just take your card out of sight, it's swiped, and that's it. You may sign a receipt but that makes crap all difference, the payment is done. Usually you sign and leave without anyone checking. Petrol (sorry "gas") stations can sometimes require you to leave a card behind the till while you fill up the pre-arranged amount you asked for. Who knows what happens to your card then? ! (which is why I try to find pay-at-pump places, though they don't always accept my card or they demand a ZIP code).
Anyway, using (of course) Nationwide for the no fees, both a debit and credit card, then take out small amounts of cash from a reputable bank ATM as you need it and pay the rest on credit card, and carry another card or two as back up. Other than that, I get a small amount of cash up front from Travelex ordered online (best rate) for bus/taxi/drinks/whatever before I can get to a local ATM.
And just avoid in-store ATMs which may charge a fee (regardless of being with Nationwide).
Yes, yes. credit/debit cards are wonderful - and sometimes useful abroad. However, when you find that "off the beaten track" little 2-star restaurant, finish your meal and wave the plastic, be prepared for embarrassment. It's not unusual for places away from cities to not take your particular card: or even cards in general.
Given that the "survey" was commissioned by a travel assistance firm ) and that they're probably merely trying to drum up some business by stirring the FUD, I'd say that carrying some cash is not only a good idea, but much more common that the "60%" figure suggests. As it is, most experienced travelers take both and have the sense to look after their belongings.
I'm more concerned with sterilising the Euros /before/ I stuff them in my boxers - an absorbent fiber matrix must be a wonderful breeding ground for bugs, and they're handled by dozens of people - who knows where they've been before you get them...
Most paper money tests positive for E-coli and other nasty bugs, and in Rome, apparently most tests positive for cocaine - so that E50 note has probably be stuffed up someone's nasal cavities... lovely...
So in brief - not worried at all (especially since it was a joke. I actually put it all in a suppository and...)
Yeah right, tell them before you go. That'll sort it...
Nope. I told my bank (who shall remain nameless *cough* Natwest *cough*) twice - once verbally on the phone to the branch and followed up in writing - that I was moving to the USA and would be using my card over there. Card worked for EPOS a few times and then whoops - would you believe it, first time I stuck it in a cashpoint, declined and blocked. "Please contact your issuing bank"
To be fair they unblocked it as soon as I contacted them but still, they knew and still blocked my card even though they were pre-informed.
So yeah, cash please, paid into a pre-pay debit in the local currency...
> who knows where they've been before you get them...
Quite. there might be another person who secretes their cash down their Y-fronts ... and then secretes.
You probably wouldn't be the first person to contract an STD from a banknote, but you might be the least blameworthy. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Take around 50 quid in cash with you. Open an account with the Nationwide and use that debit card to draw money abroad from a cash machine. Nationwide do not charge fees, or load the exchange rate against you, all other banks do. They're running it as a loss leader, in the hope it makes you bank with them. You don't need to move your account there, just open an account and shuffle money in before you go abroad. Also take your own main bank account card with you as a backup, and your credit card. Let all your card providers know you are going abroad 48-24 hours before you travel.
Be sensibly careful using ATMs abroad, you are less likely to spot a device installed on them as you are back home. If you're not comfortable don't use the machine. Be aware that some ATMs abroad may charge you for using them, and this is not your banks fault. In the US for example the majority that I've found charge, but I found that a particular supermarket (Publix) had ATMs that didn't charge. This is the _ONLY_ way I know of to avoid the treble bank fees, or double foreign exchange fees. (Bank fees - Bank charge for withdrawal, ATM operator charge for withdrawal, loaded exchange rate). (Exchange fees - Commission, loaded exchange rates). As a side note "Commission free" only means they've loaded the exchange rates against you higher. Travellers cheques are a bad idea too. Keep enough money to cover you for 2-3 days. When you have less than enough to cover you for today and tomorrow... go and get more cash. Don't get caught out because the only ATM around you're comfortable using is out of service, or doesn't look right.
The above assumes you're going to a country where ATMs are common and you can use your card there. That does cover most of the world, but check before you go.
I live in the states, and I do not have a credit card. I do have an ATM card, and pay cash for all transactions. In the US at least, credit cards place responsibility for fraud on the vendor essentially... Debit cards (which are being pushed more and more) place the responsibility ON THE USER. The bank *can* be nice and reverse fraudulent charges, but they are not required to do anything. Some dude could simply drain my bank account if I had one of these, and the bank wouldn't have to do a thing about it.
When I went to Russia I made sure the HSBC FIRST DIRECT knew I would be there, the dates I flew in and out, and the cities I expected to be in, so that they would know it was me and not fraudulent use of my card; so of course they BLOCKED MY CREDIT AND DEBIT CARD FOR THE DURATION!!
If I had not had a spare card from a different bank, I would have been fcuked.
This year I am taking three different credit cards, from three different banks and a Pre Pay credit card as well as my debit card.
As mentioned earlier, draw the cash out there, you get a better rate, no commission or fees beyond the overseas withdrawal fee, and then I spread it around different pockets and luggage.
HSBC FIRST DIRECT suck!!
Mine's the smugglers coat with 200 pockets full of plastic
As a fraud-fearing Brit I use cash in the UK as well as abroad.
I can offer some anti-pickpocketing advice which avoids the need for duct tape or suppositories: take an old pair of trousers fit for converting into rags, cut out a pocket, and sew it to the inside of your non-raglike trousers. Repeat as necessary for each pair of trousers or shorts you plan to wear on holiday. Then you can carry a day's supply of cash in your wallet and the rest safely tucked away where pickpockets can't get at it and muggers shouldn't notice it.
Ladies, this probably works with skirts as well, although it may be harder to make the stitching non-visible.
Of course, if you plan on removing your trousers / shorts (e.g. to go swimming) you should make sure you choose a hotel with a safe and leave your wad there.
I almost never use a card (debit, of course: no need to increase the credit crisis, right?), not at home either. The risks are just too big: you are not just risking your wallet but all your bank account and possibly even more.
Lately I don't travel so much and anyhow, euros are accepted almost anywhere you go, but in the past we used to either carry cash or, more commonly, traveller cheques, easy to convert in local cash anywhere. What happened with them?
And, well, I almost never make Internet purchases that require credit card either. What happened to the old good custom of paying for goods at arrival at the post office?
Yeah right, inform your bank in advance about your travel dates and destinations so the minimum wage teenager from the call centre can tip off his mates who will burgle your place knowing no one will be there.
I certainly don't trust some bank call centre employees any more than I would trust a bum on the street.
I have never had any problems using my fee free Nationwide credit card abroad, despite never informing them when and where I would go.
And if it get's cloned, tough sh1t, it's a credit cards so it's the banks money and problem not mine (has happend to me and wasn't any hassle for me at all, I just had to send them a letter disputing the transactions and that was it for me).
Remember unlike when you use a debit card, when you use a credit card it's the banks money you are spending not yours, you do not have any obbligation to pay for disputed transactions on the bill.
I'd rather loose 300 rand or whatever than several thousand dollars. Anyway, completely secure cryptographic payment is possible. That it is not used is shameful. Perhaps a credit card company could get some more customers by being the first to introduce truly secure payment through a cell phone. Yeah, right, maybe in another decade or two. The killer thing about NFC is it has the ability to be secured, but you know it won't be.
"Awareness about card fraud abroad is growing but consumers are still not taking the basic security steps needed to protect themselves."
Travelers Checks. 100% refundable if stolen, usually within 24 hours. 99% of tourists know about them, have the ID to use them (passport) and those that do have taken every step needed to prevent credit card fraud (by not using credit cards). Funny thing about travelers checks is they aren't subject to international currency scams, decent banks give you them for free and don't charge you extra money to use them in a foreign country (which is sort of the point of them in the first place).
Shit, in most western countries you can use them in a supermarket or a restaurant or pretty much anywhere you'd go shopping that wasn't some flee-bitten tat bizarre tourists lovingly call an open market. The days of needing a bank are long gone.
And of course the best part about them (aside from the guarantee they'll be refunded if stolen) is that you aren't using credit. So no nasty bills or currency scam surprises when you look at your next statement.

Prince George Citizen: Tyrell's Knee Injury "Significant"
The Prince George Citizen is reporting, as learned from sources, that the lower body injury Lightning prospect and Canada winger Dana Tyrell suffered last night is a "significant knee injury."
The newspaper said Tyrell is definitely out of Canada's second exhibition game scheduled for Sunday.
Sources have told The Citizen Tyrell has a knee injury and his participation in the tournament is in serious question -- national junior team officials have not confirmed the reports. Team Canada's first WJC game is Boxing Day against the Czech Republic.
A year ago, Tyrell suffered a knee strain that kept him from being at his best for the national junior team's final selection camp, and he was released, reported The Citizen.
The Citizen continues:
Tyrell set the Air Canada Centre abuzz on Friday night when he leveled star Swedish defenseman Victor Hedman with a clean, hard check along the boards on the first shift of the game. Tyrell was skating on a line with Canadian scoring sensation John Tavares, who is battling with Hedman to go first overall in the upcoming NHL entry draft, and Tyler Ennis, the top forward for the Medicine Hat Tigers. Tyrell's tenacity, work ethic and ability to play a physical game to open up ice for Tavares and Ennis was the reason Quinn and Team Canada scout Al Murray placed Tyrell, who had been slated for a checking role, on the top line.
Tyrell, a 19-year-old from Airdrie, Alta., is a signed second-round draft choice of the Tampa Bay Lightning, having inked a three-year contract less than two weeks ago. Tyrell is in his fourth season as a Cougar, and currently leads the team in scoring with 19 goals, 21 assists and 40 points in 30 games. The Cougars selected Tyrell in the fifth round of the 2004 WHL bantam draft.
If the injury is as serious as indicated by sources, the Cougars will have a difficult time possibly trading Tyrell by the Jan. 10 deadline. Tyrell has been the focus of speculation as the rebuilding Cougars look to add top prospects to build around highly-rated local product Brett Connolly.

APPLE VALLEY — Five big plays handed Burroughs its third loss of the season. Burroughs lost to Apple Valley 34-21 on Friday night at Newton T. Bass Stadium, mainly because the Sun Devils came up with too many big plays for the Burros to overcome.
APPLE VALLEY — Five big plays handed Burroughs its third loss of the season.
Burroughs lost to Apple Valley 34-21 on Friday night at Newton T. Bass Stadium, mainly because the Sun Devils came up with too many big plays for the Burros to overcome.
"We fought well and we matched their physicalness — that big-play burden just killed us," Burros head coach Todd Mather said. "It's part of the game — we had to stop it and we didn't."
The first big play came in the opening minute of the game. Burroughs (1-3) received to start the game, and disaster struck on its second play from scrimmage when quarterback Ryan Sanford pitched the ball over the head of running back Trevor Baker on a sweep play.
Apple Valley linebacker Jacob Munoz scooped up the loose ball and ran 31 yards for the game's first score. The Sun Devils' extra point was blocked, and Burroughs trailed 6-0 less than a minute into the game.
"It was a bad start — it's a play we work on all the time," Mather said. "That tested our kids and we came right back."
After allowing Apple Valley (4-1) to take an early lead, Burroughs answered later on in the first quarter. The Burros drove 82 yards on their third possession of the game, and scored on a 29-yard pass from Sanford to receiver Kyle Cornell down the sideline. The extra point gave Burroughs a slim 7-6 lead with 1:43 remaining in the opening frame.
The second big play of the game came in the second quarter, and put Apple Valley back in front. On the second play of the Sun Devils' drive, quarterback Justin Connors threw an 85-yard touchdown pass to receiver Brandon Mapstead. Apple Valley's two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful, and Burroughs trailed 12-7 with 7:59 left in the second quarter.
After surrendering a second big play, Burroughs again answered with a touchdown of its own. The Burros drove 80 yards in 12 plays, a drive kept alive by a Sanford sneak on fourth-and-inches from the Apple Valley 27-yard line.
Baker capped the five-and-a-half minute drive with a 3-yard touchdown run that put Burroughs ahead 14-12 with 2:32 left in the half. The Burros took that two-point advantage into the break.
"The halftime score was what I expected the whole game to go like," Mather said. "I didn't realize we'd give up so many big plays in the second half — that's what hurt us."
The third big play of the game again came from Connors, this time on the ground. On the third play of the second half, the Apple Valley quarterback sprinted out to the left side, hit the corner and took off down the sideline for an 82-yard touchdown run. The Sun Devils converted the two-point conversion to grab a 20-14 lead with 10:49 remaining in the third quarter.
Burroughs took its next possession deep into Apple Valley territory but came up empty. On fourth-and-goal from the 6-yard line Sanford threw a swing pass to Baker, and the running back was tackled for a 6-yard loss that gave the ball to the Sun Devils on downs.
"We missed some blocks — we were hoping to outrun their linebacker to the corner, get two good blocks by our wideouts and let Baker use his speed," Mather said. "That's on me. We have a play ready for that and I keep it in my back pocket — it's still in there for later in the season."
The fourth big play of the game came on Burroughs' next offensive possession. The Burros got the ball back after stopping an Apple Valley fake punt, but a tipped pass interception by defensive back Justin Wagner on the last play of the third quarter ended the drive — and led to the Sun Devils taking control of the game.
The Burroughs sideline strongly disputed what it thought was a missed pass interference call on the interception, and was hit with a sideline warning and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after the play was over. Following the penalties and turnover, the Sun Devils had the ball at the Burros' 19-yard line.
"You can't change what they call, and it was a horrible pass interference no-call — he annihilated our kid. We just don't have good luck with that and it just drives me nuts," Mather said. "We were moving the ball again and that was a big play."
Five plays after the turnover, Connors completed a 1-yard pass to Mapstead to put Apple Valley ahead 27-14 with 9:42 remaining. In a back-and-forth contest, that touchdown marked the first time either team had a two-score lead.
With time running short, Burroughs responded with a touchdown on the next drive. The Burros scored on a 4-yard run by Adan Peña with 6:17 left in the game to make the score 27-21.
The fifth big play of the game came on the first play of the next drive — and was the knockout blow for Burroughs. Apple Valley running back Tevin James ran untouched through the middle of the Burros' defense for a 64-yard touchdown run.
"We challenged the defense and that was a shocking play," Mather said. "I don't know if we guessed wrong, but he just popped it quick."
Apple Valley's final big play of the game was the dagger. It put the Sun Devils ahead 34-21 and was too much for Burroughs to overcome. The Burros failed to convert a fourth down on the next drive, and the Sun Devils ran out the clock for the victory.
"Our philosophy is to try and grind it out and let teams make mistakes and not put drives together," Mather said. "We didn't do that tonight — we have to take a look at the film and see where we missed."
Burroughs' third loss of the season didn't come without its positives. The Burros had more than 400 yards of offense, including a season-high 258 yards rushing.
"I was very, very happy with the offense tonight," Mather said. "I thought we moved the ball very well. We were patient, and the extra work in practice paid off."
Baker led Burroughs with 98 yards on 22 carries, and Jones had 54 yards rushing and 59 yards receiving. Peña finished with 58 yards on 12 carries, as the Burros found success running the ball against Apple Valley despite giving up size to the Sun Devils on the line.
"The run game was where it needed to be," Mather said. "This was a test because up front they were huge and their backers put a lot of pressure on us — the kids fought and they passed the test."
Sanford had a solid game in the air and on the ground in defeat. The senior was 11-of-25 for 144 yards passing with a touchdown and interception, and ran for 28 yards on eight carries.
"Ryan was incredible tonight with his feet — when a play was broken, he made things happen," Mather said. "He's a playmaker, and when they have good coverage he runs. He had some huge first downs."
Burroughs begins Desert Sky League play on Friday night at Adelanto, and enters league play with a 1-3 record. The Burros will look to defend their league championship after a tough non-league slate.
"Our goal in the preseason is to improve every week, and I think we've seen our team continue to improve in the past two weeks," Mather said. "This was a much better opponent than last week and we did some very positive things. We're going to be fine if we continue to progress like this."

When former tennis pro Owen "Game Set" Match gets fired from his cushy job instructing the blue bloods at the affluent Fountain Club, he's forced to take a position at the gritty public courts at the Derby City Recreation Center. Under the leadership of Sherry, a strong-willed single mother with a teenage goth son (and secret tennis hopeful) named Jake, Owen sees a chance to get back his self-respect and the respect of his new co-workers, a ragtag group of tennis pro misfits. It won't be easy, especially since it includes the Coach he fired on his climb up to the pro circuit.
As Owen begins to win over his colleagues, repair his friendship with Coach and help Jake fix his serve, he finds a romantic connection with Sherry, despite her insistence that she doesn't date tennis pros.
Just when things seem to be going well, Owen's former Fountain Club boss and court nemesis, Charles, challenges the Derby City club to a showdown in the Combo Cup, an annual tennis tournament at the Louisville Boat Club, located on the scenic Ohio River. As he leads his team of misfit pros and Strippers and oddball amateurs, Owen will learn the most valuable lesson of all.
Whether you're on the court or off... everybody gets a 2nd Serve.

Newry, ME (February 5, 2014)—The Video Games Event series (VGE), presented by GoPro, will again bring its high jinks to Sunday River Resort this month. VGE is a "digital mountain sports series" that combines riding and on-mountain experiences with creative digital endeavors: filming and editing.
This year, the East Coast series includes six events, from Pennsylvania all the way up to Maine. VGE comes to Sunday River on February 15, 2014.
VGE works like this: Competitors must form teams no greater than four skiers and/or snowboarders for each resort stop. Teams must then complete an on-mountain scavenger hunt, film themselves, and produce a video edit of two minutes or less, following pre-set guidelines. The edit goes online, and the number of views plays a huge part in determining the winners, along with the quality of filming, action, creativity, and story development.
This year's prizes include GoPro Hero 3s, Dakine backpacks, and DVS shoes. The grand prize, awarded after the final tour stop in Sugarbush, Vt. on March 15, is an all-expenses-paid trip for four to Buttermilk Resort in Aspen, Colo. on April 3.
"The goal is to get competitors to think outside of the box, ride the whole mountain, formulate a strategy, and accomplish some goals, all while working together as a team," says Andrew Mutty, owner and operator of Reel Theory Productions, the company behind the series.

Santa Cruz police are offering a commemorative glass with a painted mustache on it for information leading to the arrest of a whiskered shoplifting suspect dubbed "El Mustachio the Magician," the department announced Tuesday.
The suspect is a man who has entered a Costco warehouse store at 220 Sylvania Ave. in Santa Cruz, where he has stolen electronics three times since July and made a fourth attempt last Tuesday before running away, according to the Police Department's blog.
After the first theft July 7, "El Mustachio" tried to disguise himself by wearing different clothing and adding color to his hair, but police recognized him in videos from his mustache and Ugg-style boots, according to officers.
On July 7 at about 2 p.m., the mustachioed suspect, described as a man between 30 and 40 years old, entered the Costco store wearing a jacket, shorts, Ugg boots and a dark ball cap, officers said.
He is seen on surveillance video taking Bose SoundLink speakers off a shelf and walking outside of the view of the store video camera, at which point police say he took the speakers out of the box and slipped them under his shirt and jacket before leaving the store.
Police asked the public on the department's blog to help identify him after the first shoplifting case and invited people to send in nicknames for him.
The department selected "El Mustachio the Magician" as the winner due to his facial hair and the way police said he made the speakers disappear into his clothing.
On July 17, the suspect was in the store again wearing his mustache and this time long pants, athletic shoes and no hat. He shoplifted a laptop after tucking it under his shirt, police reported.
The man appeared in an Aug. 21 video clean-shaven, in shorts and with a light tint added to his hair, wearing the same Ugg boots and making off with another laptop underneath a dark T-shirt, police said.
Then last Tuesday, police said the suspect returned to Costco and tried to steal an Xbox video game console.
When an employee made contact with him, the suspect dropped some cables from his pockets to the floor and fled the building, officers said.
The man was wearing a long-sleeved flannel shirt despite the 85-degree temperature outside, according to police.
On its blog, www.santacruzpolice.blogspot.com, the Police Department placed photos and video clips showing the "El Mustachio" suspect and a picture of a commemorative beer pint glass with a mustache painted on it as a reward for information resulting in his arrest.
The department has also offered to have Police Chief Kevin Vogel sign the glass for the recipient.
Santa Cruz police are asking anyone with information about the suspect to call the Investigations Unit at (831) 420-5820 or the anonymous tip line at (831) 420-5995.
Those with information to report may also go to the department's website at www.santacruzpolice.com for instructions on how to submit tips by text message or by using the department's smartphone app.

New Climate Report Emphasizes Urgency
Bangkok is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city, home to more than eight million people. However, a new report released by the World Bank today paints a grim picture for the Thai capital. It notes that, without adaptation, a predicted 15cm sea-level rise by the 2030s coupled with extreme rainfall events could inundate 40% of the Thai capital and almost 70% of Bangkok by the 2080s. While I certainly hope it doesn't happen, words cannot describe the impact this would have on the lives and livelihoods of people residing in this city. And Thailand isn't the only country that could be affected by rising temperatures.
The report - Turn Down the Heat: Climate Extremes, Regional Impacts, and the Case for Resilience - was commissioned by the World Bank's Global Expert Team on Climate Change Adaptation and prepared by a team of scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Climate Analytics. It looks at the latest peer-reviewed science and with the aid of advanced computer simulations looks at the likely impacts of present day (0.8°C), 2°C, and 4°C warming across three regions – Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and South East Asia. It focuses on the lives and livelihoods of people in the developing world by analyzing the risks to agriculture and food security in sub-Saharan Africa; the rise in sea-level, bleaching of coral reefs and their impact on coastal communities in South East Asia; and the impact of fluctuating rainfall patterns on food production in South Asia. The poor and the vulnerable are the ones that will be most affected by the impacts of climate change.

Making a game, and starting with sprites. I'm not really good at drawing stuff(i.e. dysgraphia), so I'm taking a unique approach in that I've started at 32 x 64 pixels and worked together a basic image, and from there I'm stretching it and then fine tuning it.
So without further adieu, here's my progress with making a person.
I started by making sort of a basic framework, and then creating a sort of skeleton on that.
Cleared out the framework, fleshed out the base image, and filled hollow areas for better visualization. For posting purposes, I made a spare image and filled the surrounding area white so you can better see the edges. The grey represents areas which are to be partially filled.
Filled out basic colors, stretched to 64 x 128 pixels, and trimmed image. forgot the image before I stretched it, but it doesn't really matter.
If you have any feedback to help me improve, than it'd be greatly appreciated. I may or may not have addressed a certain aspect of the image by the time you post, but it's better to assume I didn't.
EDIT: beginning to work on something other than sprites, so I changed OP accordingly.

Hunter Hayes Performs 'Somebody's Heartbreak' at the 2012 O Music Awards
Hunter Hayes might be all about country, but that didn't stop him from crossing genres and helping indie rockers the Flaming Lips try to break a Guinness World Record. This week, the Lips started out on a short tour to top the record for Most Shows Played in 24 hours (Multiple Cities) by playing eight shows with a slew of special guests. Hayes helped out at Benny's Boom Boom Room in Hattiesburg, Miss. earlier today (June 28), where he laid down this live version of 'Somebody's Heartbreak,' complete with rockin' guitar solo, in conjunction with the 2012 O Music Awards.
The O Music Awards are different from other awards shows in that they run for 24 hours straight in the form of a live-streamed and live-blogged bus tour through the south. The MTV bus rolls from Memphis to New Orleans -- and everywhere in between -- to give music fans across the southern states a chance to see unforgettable performances.
Taylor Swift and Blake Shelton are up for a few O Music Awards this year, but they aren't the kinds of categories you'd expect. Swift was nominated for Fan Army FTW, which honors the most devoted fanbase, as well as Most Extreme Fan Outreach, which gives props to the star who has found the most innovative ways to thank his or her fans. Shelton is up for the Must-Follow Artist on Twitter award, which comes as no surprise to any of us who have experienced his hilarious tweeting.

Two portions of culture with chips & mushy peas please!
Some influences in our lives seem like the holy panacea of Omega 3-rich fish. Most of us have had experience of listening to the ubiquitous, humdrum mantras telling us X, Y or Z is 'good for us so incorporate more into your life…'
But let's face it, we're still a nation where Mr or Mrs Average feel much more comfortable when they're consuming their seafood in one state and one state only – once it's been battered, deep-fried and served up with a mammoth portion of chips (and don't you dare forget the mushy peas if you're 'oop north').
Often the intention's there to go for the saintful salmon menu option. Maybe that's when the 'good for you' mantra replays through their head like one of those invasive radio commercials that never seem to be off the airwaves. The next thought then comes. 'Oh but I know what I like!' So they order the cod with all the trimmings instead, same as ever.
Just as this tentative attitude to our scaly friends runs through society, the idea of culture can be a slippery concept to catch for many a woman or man in the street, who don't actively participate – whether it's work or play – in this, what they might call 'arty-farty' arena.
As someone who's naturally drawn to many creative activities, including music, art, books, photography, film and dance, I don't suffer from this mental mindblock. To me the word 'culture' sums up any response to an activity which serves to elevate me out of my every day thoughts and stirs up new ideas and emotions.
That's why I've been avidly following and supporting the bid Sheffield – the city that's become my much-loved home since moving here from London three years ago – is making to become the UK's first City of Culture 2013. http://www.sheffieldcityofculture.com/ Twitter:#shefcityculture Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sheffield-City-of-Culture/194649648888?v=app_4949752878
As part of this campaign, last Sunday an open-to-all Culture Debate was held in the lofty surroundings of City Hall in the centre of town. I was an audience member in this debate, where seven speakers, who in my view represented a pretty broad brush-stroke of Sheffield's cultural heritage, discussed 'the big questions' surrounding culture(starting with, not surprisingly: 'What is culture?')
And so the debate rumbled on…..while the audience slowly warmed to the idea of piping up with welcome questions or comments (the general consensus aired to explain this initial reticence, was Sheffielders had a tendency to be shy about their talents) I was struck by the number of empty seats at this free and accessible event.
Perhaps the fresh bout of snow had put the mildly-curious off attending. I also found myself wondering if Mr and Mrs Average of Sheffield were aware the debate was happening at all, as I hadn't seen much evidence of prior high-profile promotion of this event throughout the city.
For those that don't know much about the city of Steel, beyond the stereotypes of The Full Monty and those famous but now-departed cooling towers, here's a few cultural facts about this glorious place which may surprise you:
• 7.2% of the population is employed in the creative industries – that's twice the national average
• The city's Showroom is the UK's second-largest independent cinema www.showroomworkstation.org.uk
• Sheffield boasts the largest number of active art spaces (studios/workshops) outside of London.
I could go…..I might even shout about it, just to make up for Mr and Mrs Average who might be too shy to speak up! At least I'm not the only voice who's hollering away. Here's an interesting article by one of the Culture Debate panellists, BBC Radio Sheffield presenter Paulette Edwards, about the bid and culture in general(and all that arty-farty, fishy business!): http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/sheffield/hi/people_and_places/arts_and_culture/newsid_8528000/8528251.stm
Just days after the debate, I had something else to make some noise about when the Department for Culture, Media & Sport announced Sheffield made the shortlist for the UK City of Culture 2013 title, along with just three other contenders – Birmingham, Derry and Norwich.
Looks like I've got loads more yelling to come but I have a voicebox and I ain't afraid to use it. Go, go, go Sheff!

Breaking News
Oscar Pistorius' GF Reeva Steenkamp was supposed to give a speech on the hardships of abusive relationships on Feb. 14th -- the same day she was shot dead in her boyfriend's home.
Reeva was set to speak to a group of teenagers at Sandown High School in South Africa ... to talk about her own experience suffered at the hands of a previous boyfriend -- not Oscar -- this according to the Daily Telegraph.
In the notes for her speech, the former model reportedly urged the school kids to "be brave, always see the positive" and "make your voice heard."
The Olympian is now charged with her murder.

Tongariro Ski Club
See http://www.tongariroski.co.nz - One of the oldest Ski Clubs in New Zealand - a strong sense of history and many third and fourth generation members. We have lodges based at the two major skifields in NZ's North Island on Mt Ruapehu - with the most comfortable and well appointed facilities of any of the many clubs based on the mountain.
We have a strong family focus, most of our members are, or have been young families involved in getting their kids loving skiing from an early age. Many of us form lifelong friendships with others at the club - we're bound by a mutual love of skiing, and of doing things with a degree of style.
We recently celebrated our 75th Jubilee (in 2007) with a grand dinner and ball, a book written for the event and a DVD produced.
Our history goes back to pioneering days on Mt Ruapehu, but we also put a lot of emphasis on having the most modern and comfortable accommodation. It's also about each doing our bit to contribute to the club (there's a relatively light duty roster each day).
Our cooks are very experienced, and produce wonderful meals which are shared by adults and kids. There's nothing better than relaxing in front of a roaring fire with a glass of wine telling tall stories to your friends after skiing.
We have great parties, including some fairly outrageous themed celebrations. We also enjoy friendly rivalry with other clubs on the racing front.
Our members and target members are typically families from NZ who love skiing. We're not all wealthy (club skiing is a lot cheaper than staying elsewhere) but we do all enjoy the finer things in life.
Our retro skier on our website (normally in red and facing the other way around) is much cherished by our members, so he needs to be part of what we do going forward.
However, we need to interpret him in a way that communicates the wider context of our club values.
Not just the tradition and history, but also fun, families, friendships, laughter, the love of skiing.
We also need to have a brand that can be applied to different contexts - such as e-newsletters, merchandise, teardrop banner that will be seen on the snow, medals, updating our website, as well as our documents.
In the past we had a shield which could incorporate other elements; some suggestions are to try this through the font of the name; alternatively maybe a strap line could help (a possible combination of something like "eat. sleep. laugh. ski" is an option - or maybe you have a fresh idea.

Re: make Shodan in October this year ?
Means you get the black belt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shodan
Shodan literally means "first degree", because by then you should have the "complete base". At that moment you've practiced for a minimum of for 6 years, likely longer. After that your Aikido keep evolving. You'll learn to implement the techniques in different forms (i.e. using lot's of space and avoid all friction, or applying pressure to a partner, etc..)

Re: make Shodan in October this year ?
And of course you forgot to mention that Shodan used to be a character in a DOS computer game called SystemShock.
Perhaps you noticed the domainname in my e-mail. Shodan is also a free Dutch hosting service but is going to be shut down anywhere soon when people don't request anymore accounts soon. Oh, and I did not name it Shodan myself, some student did :-)

The tragic case of former Army psychologist Captain Peter Linnerooth reveals that wars don't spare those there to help their comrades.
There have been numerous reports on suicides in active duty troops. Another report is hitting the streets Tuesday about the highest (again) suicide rate in U.S. military history — 349 suicides in 2012.
Less has been written about the effects of the suicides on their caretakers. When a patient suicides, as happens too often, it is devastating for their caretaker. Lots of investigations, reviews of records, self-recrimination: should I have done something differently?
"When my patient shot his wife and then himself, it made me feel how hard it is to predict, in a population chronically at high risk, who will ultimately lose control and who won't," says Dr. Chris Nelson, a civilian psychiatrist at Camp Lejeune, N.C. "You go into the clinic thinking, `Is he next?'"
Military mental health workers—Army, Navy and Air Force psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and others—also face combat situations. When they return home, instead of returning to a lighter garrison schedule, they find themselves back in the clinic again. There they listen and treat the Soldiers and Marines, re-living the tales of war and gore. Caregivers are clearly not immune to the strain on their marriages, and the tension of not knowing then they will deploy again. Quietly they joke about their own Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Leadership knows about these stressors and strains and tries to do something about them. Back in 2008, the Army surveyed its own workers for compassion fatigue. Overall, the medical force was doing well. A notable exception was for mental health clinicians, especially those who had deployed. While Dr. Linnerooth deployed and ended up with PTSD, he never lost a patient to suicide. "He was often called to the aftermaths of suicides, to provide counsel, etc.," says Brock McNabb, who served alongside him in Iraq as a combat medic. "But never lost one of his own guys."
Unlike Dr. Linnerooth, who repeatedly sought help, most clinicians are resistant to going into therapy themselves. They fear, as do all Soldiers, the effects on their careers. They know about the electronic health record, which allows other people with the right credentials to access all health records.
After 11 years of war, it is a very tough world for military mental health clinicians, many with PTSD themselves. They are a tough lot. They weep quietly, or not. But how long can they keep it up?

RIT dedicates Sustainability Institute Hall
World-class building and 'living lab' houses B. Thomas Golisano Institute for Sustainability
A. Sue Weisler
Hundreds of visitors, including industry and political leaders, received a firsthand look at the new Sustainability Institute Hall during a dedication event Friday at the Golisano Institute for Sustainability (GIS), "a living lab" that represents RIT's commitment to the environment.
Cutting-edge "green" technology has been incorporated into every inch of the 84,000-square-foot building, from the solar panels on the soaring canopy to the vertical wind turbines located near its entrance.
The building houses the GIS master's degree and Ph.D. programs in sustainability and architecture along with specialized research labs, student work areas, classrooms and office suites. Its distinctive features include a fuel cell, microgrid, geothermal system, green roof and a green wall.
"This new facility will enable RIT, and the Greater Rochester region, to become a world-class hub for sustainability research and education," says RIT President Bill Destler. "It represents a significant new chapter in RIT's commitment to serve as a major economic driver for our region, a leader in innovation and cutting-edge technologies, and a key partner with the community, government and industry."
Since its construction began in 2011, the GIS facility was designed and built to exceed Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum standards of the U.S. Green Building Council—the highest standard that can be achieved. Specialized research areas include the Staples Sustainable Innovation Lab, Eco-IT test bed and a fuel cell test bed.
According to Nabil Nasr, assistant provost and director of the Golisano Institute for Sustainability, Sustainability Institute Hall is more than an impressive structure.
"This facility is going to turn out a new generation of engineers, architects, scientists and policymakers who will have the opportunity to conduct research and study at RIT like very few places in the world," Nasr says. "It represents the next step in the university's development as a leading innovator in sustainable development."
Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy said the new building will play an important role in achieving Gov. Andrew Cuomo's vision for a "greener" and more efficient New York.
"The Rochester Institute of Technology and the Golisano Institute for Sustainability are core strategic assets and partners in driving New York's innovative green economy," says Duffy. "Through investments made possible by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and personally as a proud RIT alumnus, I am glad to see the tremendous research and development being performed by the Institute, which will continue to flourish and allow New York to maintain an edge in an increasingly competitive global economy."
Phillip Singerman, associate director for Innovation and Industry Services, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), U.S. Department of Commerce, noted the exceptional breadth of sustainability expertise at GIS.
"The Golisano Institute for Sustainability is a unique institution focusing on sustainable practices in manufacturing, transportation and building technology," says Singerman. "NIST is one of the leading research organizations in the nation in these fields, so we are particularly proud to have played a part in making the Golisano Institute possible."
In addition to remarks by several RIT, industry and political leaders who played key roles in making Sustainability Institute Hall a reality, the dedication event featured guided and self-guided tours of the building's specialized research labs and test beds.
The Golisano Institute for Sustainability was established in 2007 with a $10 million gift from Paychex Inc. founder, philanthropist B. Thomas Golisano. RIT was awarded a $13.1 million grant by the NIST Construction Grant Program, and $10 million in funding from the state of New York that was used toward construction of the facility. GIS received an additional $5 million as part of the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council's funding award in December.
Partners and affiliates include Staples Inc., Caterpillar Inc., the Clinton Global Initiative, Eastman Kodak Co., General Motors Co., Xerox Corp. and Rochester Midland Corp., with program support from the Henry Luce Foundation. Go to www.rit.edu/gis for more information.

Hard to believe, but Fox's "Bones" has turned into a steady ratings machine that is celebrating its 100th episode (airing on April 8).
So does star David Boreanaz, who directed the 100th, believe the show has legs for another 100? "I take it episode to episode, show to show," he says. "But the future is very bright for this show. I see it as a show that's really found its legs."
"But I don't set myself up for too much discouragement if it were to end tomorrow."
It's a good thing, because the show has been a slow burn, building its audience with each season. "We take it one step at a time," says Boreanaz. "We're the little show that could, and the little show that has. And we're very fortunate to have succeeded on Thursday night."
As for the 100th, we can say the will-they-or-won't-they relationship between Boreanaz and co-star and onscreen partner Emily Deschanel will be put to the test. But to what end? As for long term prospects for the two onscreen, that might have to wait for another time no matter what the tensions are.
"For right now, I think I still maintain that they should be partners and let's see what happens after this season, where they go," he says.
"They work very well together and it's great to see them solve these crimes," says Boreanaz. "I think everybody wants to see them together in a different way, " he admits. "Whether that's as a couple, in a relationship."

(Reuters) - The Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks were given a welcome boost on Thursday when running back Marshawn Lynch ended a one-week holdout by reporting for camp at the team's practice facility.
Lynch, Seattle's leading rusher for the past three seasons, arrived after the team's morning practice and television cameras showed him wearing a hooded "Beast Mode" sweatshirt and a woollen cap.
The 28-year-old, a Pro Bowl selection in 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2013, was seen in the lobby of the practice facility and the Seahawks later tweeted: "#BeastMode is in the building."
Lynch signed a four-year, $30 million contract with the Seahawks in 2012 and is scheduled to earn $5.5 million in 2014.
He has incurred a $30,000 fine for every day missed at training camp, though that can be waived by the team, according to the NFL Media Insider.
Before Lynch can be added to Seattle's active roster, he will need to pass a physical.
