BBC info on John Williams appearance on the
Last Night Of the Proms
. ITS THIS SATURDAY - THE 10th. If I read the info correctly, the proms are split between BBC 1 and 2. Digital video recording gear has been verified is on standby. Now if only we can win the ashes.....

A minor family emergency meant that I had to go away for two weeks, but I'm back now and hope to make some inroads into my email backlog. At least I managed to get the update out of the way in time!
Tricky: the first half (i.e. pre-interval) of the concert is on BBC2 from 7.30 and the second half (including the pieces for which the Last Night is famous) is on BBC1. The CDA is the penultimate piece of the first half:
I notice you've admitted to having digital recording set up... Any chance for a copy in due course? Although I haven't yet got a DVD recorder I am planning to get one soon (I would've got one last week if not for my absence), but won't be in time for tonight...
Note also my separate message in the News topic re. tomorrow morning...

Assuming nothing goes wrong (recording/transmission/acts-of-god - see
) digital files, cdrs, dvdrs, P2P (I really must convince everyone to set up P2P sometime !!!) will be available.
I don't yet have a dedicated DVR, yet, (see
) - I'm not certain which models create PC compatible files - I DO have:-
a) a PC which
WILL record from a set-top Freeview digital box.
b) a second PC which
WILL record from analogue signals.
c) a third PC which
WILL record from a PC DVDB (digital) tuner. (I'll have to send my son to the pub while I commandeer it).
d) a VCR which
WILL record from a second Freeview digital set-top box.
Needless to say (see
), they'll ALL be running.
The timing of this is (thankfully) right. To give you an idea of the week I've had and haven't bought a DVR yet:-
1) 3 weeks ago builders were supposed to renewing my soffits/gutters, while I did some heavy-duty gardening/fencing/pointing etc. They wanted scaffolding. I got a scaffolder. After 3 weeks the builders told me they were too busy. The scaffolder wanted his scaffolding back. I sacked the builders and asked the scaffolder if he knew anyone. He did. 48 hours later (today) it's been sorted.
2) Took a school bus (a bit of part-time) into Manchester, parked up and was promptly hit by another bus - not my fault. Smashed 3 of the windows - had to throw my only brew away because it was full of glass.
3) Wasn't paid for the some hours I'd worked - (I have now - most people don't argue with me for long).
4) Wasn't paid for the last bank holiday - (I have now - most people don't argue with me for long).
5) Rewired/repaired my parents central heating system (that electricity hurts!!).
All this is as well as the normal niggles (run out of sugar, fuse blown in extension lead, stepped in dog poo, etc, etc, etc)
In all, it's been a s**t week so far. Still, mustn't grumble.

Sorry Richard. I sound very impersonal and antagonistic in my last post
(must be stress - note the lack of smileys). Everyone should stay away from dark alleys for a couple of days
I'll record the whole of LNotP (there may be some context value), post my progress in this thread and email you when I've burned (not literally) a dvd.

Richard, Tobias, anyone else, - watch this space...
But first, a quiz:- What's brown, curly, about 4 inches long and something I have to avoid stepping on at night?
A:- I've got a lizard in my garden!!
And now.... I've just (successfully?) recorded this from freeview - digital stereo, about 7 Gig, 704x576 pixels, 4:3 aspect ratio, but widescreen (11:9 - black bars top and bottom - no choice). (Drunk too!). As Richard has pointed out, it will be available from the BBC website - but audio only apparently. I'm not waiting 10 years for their dvd - I'll make one now.
The VCR blew me out, c) suffered from bad reception because of the weather - but a) and b) (see above) recorded OK. Why?
I've never watched LNotP in full before. What have I missed? - it's a damn sight more entertaining than I ever thought! Just how many people where watching this one?. (Look out for Scotland's contribution).
It's a good job I decided to record it all. Despite the Beeb's info, JW was in both halves - and there was barely time to flip channels in between. Interesting how he takes charge without seeming to. I could create files of just JW but the context etc. DOES matter here. In any case, it's All worth watching. I don't want to lose any quality on this, so it's probably going to run to 2 dvds - when you think about it, at over 3 hours it would.
More soon....
Have to be up and awake by 08:30 THIS morning to catch JW on BBC1's Sunday AM (Broadcast at 09:00. The alarm's in a vandal-proof steel cage)
(Stress levels falling slowly, alcohol levels rising fast, rum bottle emptying even faster)

Very dull performance. Very poor 2nd movement. And he didn't even have his usual excuse of being technically flawless.
Richard posted on Sunday, 11 September, 2005 - 03:47 pm
Tricky, your
Last Night?!? Shame on you! :-)
The Last Night has been a constant fixture in my life since I was a teenager (although I only bothered with the silliness of the Second Half until I was a bit older). Although I'ver been to a few "ordinary" Proms in my time (when I lived in London), I've never been lucky enough to get into the Last Night.
There's been some discussion on the Proms forum on the BBC site about how silly some people are during the Last Night (in particular the people honking car horns during the Fantasia on Sea Songs), but my view has always been that however silly and downright anti-convention this might be, for one gig a year, I say the conventions of classical music should be allowed to be ignored. If the audience wants to make noise, let them! Anyway, it's not as if the Sea Shanties (in particular) are Great Classical Music which should be listened to with absolute reverence!
I would, however, expect the conventions of classical music to be maintained during the First Half and I grimaced along with JW and Paul Daniel when a sizeable proportion of the audience broke into applause after the CDA first movement. It's a concerto, so even if folks had never heard it before, it can be assumed to include 3 movements, not to mention the fact that the programme indicated a durtation of 22 minutes. People attending classical gigs
know that you don't clap between movements!
The big revelation of the concert to me was Andreas Scholl. I'm not a huge fan of "bel canto" solo singing (choirs are different) and apart from Carmen, I'm a million miles from being an opera fan.
I have, of course, heard of him, but I've never heard him (or, indeed, to my knowledge, any other counter-tenor) perform. The noises he came out with were just astonishing. And the purity of the sound beats spots of just about any vocal performance I've ever heard. I don't think I could manage a whole concert of that vocal range, but as interludes it was an awe-inspiring experience. Especially conisdering when he gave his short interview on air beforehand, his speaking voice is squarely in the middle range for an adult male.
On top of that, the two duets with JW in the second half were magnificent. I think JW and Scholl should definitely work together again - my own impression is that the guitar and counter-tenor seems to work even better than the usual tenor-guitar pairing one hears fairly often (is is just because most men sing in the tenor range?).
Tricky, I'm glad you recorded the whole gig, as apart from the Scholl, I certainly want to experience the Lambert and Korngold pieces again (both were new to me). Knowing that you were recording, I didn't bother, although I wish I had as writing about it now I'd really like to listen all over again (I'm currently listening to it online but it's not the same thing, especially as I'm having a few streaming problems).
On to JW's main contribution with the CDA. I agree with "The Ovenbird" (hi!) - it was a downright lacklustre performance. JW has played the CDA so many times that he could probably (quite literally) play it with his eyes closed. And if I hadn't seen it on TV, that's the way he seemed to be playing - entirely on auto-pilot.
I've witnessed JW play the CDA live probably a dozen times in my time (including, as it happens, conducted by Paul Daniel when he was with the LSO) and this was probably the least enjoyable. Maybe it's partially that I wasn't there, but even so...
I'm a bit strange in that the third movement is my favourite and normally I'm ready to explode with enthusiasm when it finishes. Yesterday I was nowhere close.
My other comment is that I'm completely baffled by what possessed the programmers to include this piece in the Last Night anyway. Apart from the general raucousness of the Last Night crowd which just doesn't fit this piece, it stuck out like a sore thumb from the overall theme of the evening (and indeed the whole 2005 Proms season), which was about the sea (partially because of this year's Battle of Trafalgar anniversary) and the usual triumphalism.
Don't get me wrong, I'm overjoyed to have an opportunity to hear JW play, but I don't think this was it - especially given his poor form last night. I'm surprised at myself for thinking this, but I'd've been happier to hear him play more with Andreas Scholl.
Tricky posted on Sunday, 11 September, 2005 - 10:34 pm
Richard, yes - the first time I've ever watched it all! After the stress and pressures of the week (yeah! sure!) I tend to turn into a lager lout at weekends. But I still prefer the pleasures of Saddleworth to Oldham town centre for a pint though!
After the effort involved in recording this I decided to order a DVD/HDD recorder this morning. Getting up at 08:00 to set a PC to record JW on "Sunday AM" - with a mild hangover - finally convinced me that lying in bed was preferrable. Myke has said you get better results too. I can believe it. More on this later in case you decide to get one.
I was taken aback when the clapping started in-between movements. Mild expletives formed on my tongue. Some of the audience weren't as smart as they thought.
The silliness in the second half? I rather liked it. Reminded me of HF playing Tuba Smarties at Westminster. It was nice to see people in the "cheap seats" genuinely enjoying themselves without a glass of ale in hand. Besides, they
being encouraged.
I liked the band (can't remember the name - can't access the file while the video editor's crunching away either) playing at Glasgow Green too. It made a rather surprising and enjoyable change.
I'm not sure LNotP was the right venue for JW playing (partially) solo, considering that the BBC new the rest of the content would not be purely classical. The Proms (at least this one) seem more geared to orchestral accompaniment. He just didn't seem to be in his element. Part of my enjoyment of listening to/watching him is the disbelief that there is only one guitarist playing multiple tunes simultaneously. My eyes and ears get enjoyably confused (without alcohol). Anyone more than 30 feet (can't get the hang of this new fangled metric system) away wouldn't understand this.
Ok. The recording. First half edited - ready to burn. Second half (waaiit forrr iiiit) 77% complete. Probably another hour to go. Still looking good. The trouble with digital video editing is that it takes 2-3 times as long as the original to render. You can see each frame as it gets processed (if you really want to) - and
PC is no slouch.
This is definitely a 2DVD set.
Now if I can hammer my printer into shape to make a cover....
More later.
Richard posted on Monday, 12 September, 2005 - 01:59 am
, indeed, Paul Daniel, like his predecessors, played up to the Prommers and egged them on as much as he could. Andrew Davis, who conducted the BBC SO (and thus the Last Night) throughout the 90s, was much, much "worse" in that respect, almost defying the Prommers to break his concentration with the noise.
The second half of the Last Night is what it is, and anybody who knows anything about it (e.g. the critics and the people posting on the Proms discussion board) isn't entitled to expect a normal classical gig, because that's not what it is. It's a celebration of music and, dare I say, "Britishness", with audience participation. I've often wondered how many people have become interested in classical music because of the "silliness" of the Last Night, but I'm sure it must be a sizeable number.
I can almost hold my own hand up for that, inasmuch as my first live attendance at a classical gig as a teenager was the "Last Night" of the CBSO Proms here in Birmingham - modelled closely on the RAH Last night. (My second was the Tchaikovsky night at the CBSO Proms which whilst not raucus, included the 1812 overture complete with "battle" sound effects, which always impresses teenage boys.)
Anyway, enough about that. OT question: what HDD recorder have you gone for? I'm in the market for one myself and there is too much choice for me to make my mind up. Myke, have you got any views?
Talking of covers (and of Myke), I created a DVD cover for the Westminster Abbey DVD Myke created based on the VHS version, if anyone wants it - it's absolutely huge (both in MBs and as an image), so that it can be decently printed on a photographic quality printer at 600 dpi. It's a TIF image (less lossy than JPG) and thus not as compressed as a JPG would be, so if you're up to downloading a TWENTY-FOUR MEGABYTE zipped file, get it here:
(I deliberately made the image a little larger than it needs to be because some printers have a tendency to be imprecise. Just trim if required.)

I wasn't as disappointed with the Aranjuez as others (although I did notice some "flubs").
Wasn't so keen on the duet. I'm not keen on operatic or bel canto singing at the best of times but especially not when they sing folk songs. I hated that in 60s and 70s when "posh" Scottish singers like Moira Anderson would do rustic folk songs in broad Scots but with plummy accents.
"Sally Gardens" is hardly rustic but I have other versions of it I would still rather listen to.
Tricky posted on Monday, 12 September, 2005 - 12:41 pm
Off topic but definitely related:-
The recorder I've gone for is the
"Ellion 120GB HDD and DVD +RW Recorder - DVR-950C"
. I've only heard the name recently but it's not shown up anywhwere as being crap. Wether it's any good or not I don't know - except from the review, which could just be a PR stunt. The tech spec looks good and it has 2 SCART sockets for easy connectivity. It doesn't mention a Freeview tuner but thats what SCART sockets are for.
It says nothing about recording to DVD-/+R, only +RW, or finalising discs, so you need a PC to do any editing or (proper) DVD burning - I always start recording early and finishing late then chopping it to suit anyway. It SHOULD be a doddle to tranfer files from a RW or via leads directly through to a PC. At least you won't get BSoDs at critical moments - and you can set the timer and go out for a pint (except when JW's on of course).
I did have some issues when recording LNotP which this recorder may well solve. Example:- freeview can transmit in stereo and at any aspect ratio. Nice - until the aspect ratio starts changeing during a recording (look at BBC1 sports on a saturday afternoon). It's something which startles you at first, then you stop noticing until your mpeg files go belly-up. PC capture cards can't
adjust to compensate, so you end up with files with odd AR's which need a hell of a lot of correction. My
automatically adjust - but it's too late when you've already burned a DVD and deleted the mpeg from your HD. Damn this new fangled technology!!!
The nice thing about it haveing a DVD/HDD recorder is that you can keep your files on the HD until you're
absolutely positive
you've got a good RW/transfer to play with. And no degredation.
Besides the statutory guarantee, Amazon has a 7 day returns policy, so I'll let my son set it up and give it some stick - he's good at breaking things:-)
(Does everything above sound too cynical ???)
Covers and large files. No problem. This is why I like P2P and broadband. I've had transfer speeds of over 500Kb/s at home. NTL hasn't got the technology in place to monitor "per user" daily transfers yet - so, if you'll forgive the pun, the sky's the limit.
I've now got 2 good, edited mpeg files of LNotP. They've both gone over 4.7Gb so might need tweaking - the burning software should automatically take care of that. NEXT STEP - BACKUPS! I've 3 hard-wired networked PCs, one for backups, one for video capture/editing/burning, one (server) for hosting my son's website - when he gets it going. My son's got another which I can use if needed (and there's another virused/spammed/donated one in the loft). After the backups I'll do some burning. What can possibly go wrong?
Could we do with other sub-topics for editing/P2P/downloads/tech talk etc ???. With P2P and a brodband connection files could be shared/downloadable.
I've spotted an article in a PC mag that mentions something about the BBC opening up some of it's archives and their copyright policy. I'll reproduce it in another thread (bo****ks to the copyright).
Bill D - I have to agree with you about the bel canto - the
of a man desperately needing a shave singing in that high a voice made me wince a bit.
Time to backup.
Tricky posted on Monday, 12 September, 2005 - 01:33 pm
One final OT comment about DVD/HDD recorders. I'm led to believe there are a few of these out there that you can use for editing and creating a (normal) DVD with a menu etc. without the need of a PC, but, just how deep are your pockets? Can the family watch Star trek while you're editing? Is it as easy as using a PC i.e. keboard and mouse - or are you using a fiddly remote with too many tiny buttons? What happens if you make a mistake - can you backup? What do you do if the remote's batteries go flat, the nearest shop's 30 minutes away and the kids are screaming at you because they're missing the Simpsons? I could go on - but won't:-)
Call me a Luddite if you wish, but I'm against too much integration. In combination with a PC, a DVD/HDD recorder should be OK (fingers crossed).

Bill D, Myke supplied me. There's a email link from his name under the Sky - "Westminster Laserdisc" topic. If you can't get in touch, I'll do a copy - but it may take a few days while I process the LNotP dvds.
LNotP - Although I have excellent mpegs, I've only managed to make 2 (dvd) coasters yet. I think I've been asking too much of the PC and software i.e - shrink a file to fit, create a dvd image on the hard disk, and burn the dvd - all in one go. It takes 3.5 hours to do this ONCE, then about an hour for me to check it. I'm going to have to do each operation seperately and check it at each turn, which will take even longer in total - but at least I won't have go right back to the start every time. (I'm learning - fast!) The end result will be worth it. Patience everybody!

Myke and I have been in contact and are sorting something out.
Tricky posted on Friday, 16 September, 2005 - 08:47 pm
Phew! Creating DVDs of "Last Night" has been somewhat of a marathon. As the broadcasts totalled more than 3 hours, it's had to be 2 DVDs to maintain the quality - and even so I've had to make compromises. I've lost count of the number of times I had to play with the data rates (1 to 3 hours per attempt per file!) to maximise the file size and quality while making sure each broadcast would still fit on a DVD.
The Freeview broadcast was in widescreen, so there's the typical black bars, top and bottom. Note the (broadcasted)
at the top right. It disappears after a minute. There's also no chapters. There's so much context in the form of commentary, interviews and interjection by the conductor, Paul Daniel, it's impossible to know where to start. My video editor was well into the "amber" and "pushing the red line" to keep the quality and still fit on the disks without them.
The "issues" I mentioned in an earlier post in trying to make DVDs look like they were being caused by background "assistance" programs and update software (take
, Scheduled Tasks}. So, goodbye iTunes, Quicktime, automatic updates and all other unmemorable poorly written rubbish. Now that I've been through the video editing "mill" I'm certain that leaving the PC to do everything automatically is a bad idea. It may take more time to do things separately but "your efforts will be rewarded"
I've successfully created a pair of "master" DVDs. I've now got the chore
of watching them to check for flaws. I've already had a quick "scan". You've no doubt seen pixellation occur on videos before, so you'll understand why I nearly had a heart attack when I saw Alan Titmarsh's tie. (You�ll see!!)
Now all I have to do is create a cover. Simple.
Richard, warm up your DVD player (or have you got a DVD/HDD recorder yet)!
More Soon!

I decided not to go on a drunken binge tonight as I was close to sorting out the "Last Night..." DVDs. My "video editing" PC has suddenly acquired a remarkable degree of stability. I don't think it's because of the lack of alcohol, more likely because I've removed or disabled the background update and hidden "assistance" programs some software insists on loading (TSRs).
I'm watching the last few minutes of the second half as I type. The quality's very good. (I'm not patting myself on the back here, all
done is press a few buttons)
Now that I've watched it again in full, I wish I could retract my earlier comments. You notice things - such as the volume for JW's guitar should have been 50% louder in the first half. The JW/Andreas Scholl combination in the second half wasn't bad either...
A word of advice when playing "Loud Noise" - the piece from Glasgow Green, near the end of the first half - turn all your volume controls to maximum. (Alan Titchmarsh mangled the band's name so much, I can't even guess the spelling).
Ok. Take stock. I've 2 master disks, dual DVD cases, full backups and a knackered printer....
posted on Tuesday, 20 September, 2005 - 10:03 pm
The dvds and a cover are now complete. At over 8 Gigabytes there is no chance of these being available on P2P. If anyone wants a copy, email me.

A slight :-) correction to the post of Saturday, 17 September, 2005 - 11:56 pm. After consulting the BBC's website I've found out that the band at Glasgow Green were the "Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers" playing "Big Sound". (I still think they were impressive!)

If you have P2P software such as edonkey, search for "proms 2005". There appears to be a mpg of the CDA. You're more likely to get a hit at evenings/weekends. BTW, it's not one of mine so I've no idea of the quality - or even if it's a fake. If you want some idea of the DVD's quality, search for "Last Night of the BBC Proms 2005". You'll see 2 files for Glasgow Green and Singleton Park. The same timing applies.

Even with fairly tall sidewalls on the 65-series tires, the car's steering response was reasonably quick and positive, with far better off-center feel and response than Jeeps of old. The only time the car felt at all discombobulated was during braking on bumpy surfaces at high speeds, when the softly sprung Jeep floundered a little.
Other than that, this Grand Cherokee will hound all but the best drivers of sports sedans through the hills. Then, when it gets to the dry riverbed, it will leave them for dead. As we mentioned, there are three four-wheel-drive mechanisms. Quadra-Trac I is a full-time single-speed transfer-case supplied on 3.7-liter V-6 models that splits torque front to rear on a 48/52-percent basis. Quadra-Trac II--fitted to 4.7-liter V-8 and 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 models--has Jeep's two-speed NV245 transfer case with an electronically controlled clutch pack to vary torque distribution from its center differential. It also incorporates brake-operated traction control.
Our 5.7L Limited featured an even more elaborate arrangement known as Quadra-Drive II, with the NV245 transfer case augmented by electronically controlled hydraulic clutch packs on the front and rear diffs. Although the hydraulic pumps activate the system when wheel-speed disparities allow the rotors to turn relative to their housings, there is some capability in this system to lock the clutches even when wheel speed has been equalized.
All of this endows the 5.7L Limited with fairly amazing rough-terrain mobility. We tried it out at Camp Jeep near Santa Barbara, California, and this new truck scaled steep slopes and negotiated deep gullies with relative ease. The various traction enhancement devices allow the immensely torquey Hemi engine to tow the vehicle out of tough spots without breaking a sweat. Short body overhangs and carefully trimmed approach and departure angles allow some dramatic maneuvers, even though ground clearance at the Jeep's rear axle is a relatively unimpressive eight inches. Because the Hemi's throttle is electronically operated, it utilizes separate control mapping when the car is in low-range four-wheel drive, dramatically slowing throttle rotation. That's not true of the 4.7-liter engine, and the throttle in that model was particularly difficult to control in slow and bumpy going.
Another thing about the Hemi V-8: It really propels this SUV. The Grand Cherokee managed 0-to-60-mph sprints in just 7.0 seconds, despite having put on a few pounds in its new guise. Now weighing a fairly portly 4860 pounds (complete with virtually all options and loaded with the expected gadgets and safety trappings of a modern full-size luxury SUV), the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4WD 5.7L tripped the quarter-mile lights in 15.5 seconds at 90 mph. This thing eats other vehicles on long upgrades, then switches off half its cylinders to save fuel going down the other side (although even with the engine's cylinder-deactivation feature, we still averaged a gas-hog 12 mpg).
Strange though it might seem in a real "trail rated" vehicle, there is a list of extravagant options such as Sirius satellite radio, a powerful six-speaker Boston Acoustics stereo, and navigation and DVD-entertainment systems. A rear-park-assist gizmo and trick new smart-beam headlights, which automatically dim through several stages at the approach of other vehicles, reveal the extent to which Jeep engineers plumbed the combined resources of the German-American empire. With all those engines, drivetrains, and options, the Grand Cherokee just about covers all the bases. Of course, we still think the best news is that it now has a Hemi.

Oakland Athletics vs. Kansas City Royals MLB Pick, Odds, Prediction - 8/1/14
Kansas City Royals (54-52) at Oakland Athletics (66-41)
MLB Baseball: Friday, August 1, 2014 at 9:35 pm (O.co Coliseum)
Jeremy Guthrie (R) (6-9) (4.636) vs. Sonny Gray (R) (12-3) (2.654)
The Line: Oakland Athletics -190 / Kansas City Royals +180 --- Over/Under: 7 See the Latest Odds
The Kansas City Royals and Oakland Athletics play game one of three on Friday night.
The Royals have won seven of their last nine games and have jumped to three games above a .500 record. The Royals pitching staff has really carried the team during this stretch, allowing three or fewer runs in seven of their last 10 games. The Royals have an ERA of 3.69 and have won five of their last six games when allowing three or less runs. Offensively, Alex Gordon has 13 hits in his last 10 games and Billy Butler has eight hits in his last nine games. Jeremy Guthrie gets the ball, and he's 6-9 with a 4.70 ERA and has 84 strikeouts in 132 innings. Guthrie is 3-4 with a 4.80 ERA in 10 career games against the Athletics.
USA TODAY Sports
The Athletics are 7-5 since the All Star break and 25 games above a .500 record. While the A's remain the best team in baseball, their pitching staff has been a little shaky lately, allowing four or more runs in five of their last eight games. The Athletics have an overall ERA of 3.19, but just allowed a combined 19 runs in a three-game series against the Houston Astros. Offensively, Josh Donaldson has eight RBI in his last 10 games and Brandon Moss has hit safely in eight of his last 10 games. Starting is Sonny Gray, who is 12-3 with a 2.65 ERA and has 121 strikeouts in 139 innings. This is Gray's first career game against the Royals.
The Royals are 27-12 in Guthries last 39 starts vs. a team with a winning record and 2-8 in their last 10 vs. American League West. The Athletics are 4-0 in Grays last 4 starts as a home favorite and 20-7 in Grays last 27 starts overall. The Royals are 0-4 in the last 4 meetings in Oakland.
There's no way in hell I'm buying the A's at that price, especially with the way Guthrie has been against winning teams. The Royals are playing solid baseball and have a chance to steal this matchup and put some big money in your pocket.

Natracare Ultra Pads 14
Natracare Organic Cotton Cover Regular Natural Ultra Pads with wings. Plastic free. Totally chlorine free. Natural Materials. Perfume free. Ultracare pads with wings. Why natural Pads? For each monthly cycle, it makes sense to choose a pad that is made from natural materials. Many gynecologists have advised women with sensitive skin to use natracare pads to reduce their contact with chlorine bleached materials and also products containing synthetics and super absorbents made from petrochemicals. Natracare menstrual pads and certified organic 100% cotton tampons are available worldwide, offering women a quality natural choice. Biodegradable. Made in Sweden. 14 Regular ultra pads (individually wrapped)
WAS $9.95 - SPECIAL OFFER $ 7.95 - Only 1 left
Size14 Pads with wings
Suggested Dosage
How to use: Peel back the paper strip and fix the pad to panty, folding the wings over the edge of them.
Disposal: Natracare advise you to wrap the pad in paper and put into a waste bin. Natracare pads are over 90% biodegradable and are compostable under the correct conditions.
Health Information
Some women suffer from skin allergies and irritations, which can cause discomfort in varying degrees. Symptoms such as uncomfortable soreness and/or itchiness are often heightened during menstruation due to synthetic and plastic ingredients in sanitary products. Natracare tampons are made from organic, 100% cotton, which is GM free and 100% non-chlorine bleached.
Natracare tampons are free from rayon, binders, plastics, surfactants, resins and fragrances. Natracare's panty shields are made with a breathable liner, which is designed to allow air to circulate freely. What's more, Natracare pads do not contain polyacrylic absorbents or have plastic covers that lie next to the skin, both of which can cause irritation. Many women have found relief from irritation when changing to Natracare products.
Dioxin pollution is a family of toxins which is one of the world's most serious environmental problems. Dioxin builds up cumulatively in the body over time from birth, so heightened exposure means heightened risk. The production of dioxins in the manufacture of paper pulp products such as tampons and sanitary pads, etc are not only harmful to the environment, but also unnecessarily expose women to low levels of dioxins every time they use these products.
Many people are worried about the use of pesticides in farming and choose to buy organic produce wherever possible. Non-organic cotton is sprayed with pesticides that release toxins, including dioxin, into the environment, leaving residuals in the cotton. Organic cotton avoids the practice of spraying crops with these pesticides.
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a rare but fatal disease caused by a particular type of bacteria that can produce toxins in the body. The symptoms of TSS come on fast and are often severe. Menstrual TSS has been linked to the use of super-absorbent and synthetics in tampons. Results of a study published, in, The journal of Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, suggest that the use of 100% cotton tampons may reduce the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome compared with tampons that contain rayon. The study was carried out on 20 tampon varieties, including Natracare's 100% cotton tampons and concluded that all-cotton tampons did not produce the dangerous TSS toxin from the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, while other tampons did.

How to Roll A Sushi Burrito
Must have ingredients:
Sushi Rice (cooked)
Hand rinse solution (equal parts rice wine vinegar and water)
Nori (seaweed)
Makisu (bamboo sushi rolling mat)
Clean hand towel - for drying/wiping hands
Filling - The Stuff I Used
(You can use whatever you want to fill your sushi burrito.)
Diver's Sole fried in turmeric, ginger, and olive oil
Steamed bok choy
Sauteed red bell pepper
Fried tofu
Step 1
Set up your work space so that you can easily reach your filling ingredients, rice, and hand rinse. Lay a single nori sheet in the center of your Makisu, making sure that the creases on the seaweed are parallel to the bamboo rods on your Makisu.
Step 2
Dip your hands in your hand rinse solution - this will keep any rice from sticking from your fingers. Sprinkle a light layer of rice onto the nori and gently massage it JUST until your rice lays in a flat bed. Rinse your hands off as needed.
Step 3
Lay out your filling ingredients neatly at the bottom portion of your nori. Try to keep your ingredients from coming too far up the nori (max 2 inches).
Step 4 - The Tricky Part
Lift the bottom edge of your Makisu and fold it over your filling. You can use 1 or 2 hands for this - don't try to be fancy here ;)
Step 5
Once you've made it over the first hump, compact the sushi burrito roll by pulling the rolled section towards you - be careful not to press DOWN as this will is squishy XD. Pull the far end of the mat away from you to give yourself some leverage.
Step 6
Keep rolling your burrito upwards in the Makisu and stopping regularly to compress it towards you for a nice, tight burrito.
Step 7
When you are finished rolling your sushi burrito, give it one last, good roll-around with the Makisu in your hands to keep all the yummy-ness inside.

I don't think I told you (my lack of Internet is still getting in the way of anything but the most basic blogging - this update is via iPhone), but I just arrived home to the Triangle (NC) for a friend's wedding and general having of fun. I'm looking forward to seeing loads of friends (I've had to resort to writing out my schedule 'cause it's packed full!), a quick jaunt to Miami to see family, and taking care of a few errands.
I got here Friday afternoon and the wedding was yesterday at Fearrington House in Chapel Hill. It was beautiful, but relaxed and fun. A total success! Weeell, except for the grooms's aunt tripping and dislocating her shoulder, but aside from that....!
Today I get to see my church family at CHBC and lounge around at Weaver Street in Carrboro, before meeting up with my cousin and her daughter later this evening.
I LOVE vacation! :-)

It happens to me last year. actually i didn't used adBlocker, but this is what happened. Last year I had very slow internet connection, so when a video ad come up when i watch YouTube video i scroll the page up and down very fast. I think that glitches the video ad or something the ad will disappear before it start playing when i do that. at that time It was worth it for me because if i late a video ad play it will take more then 3 minute to finish for a 30sec ad. Then a few month later i couldn't watch any YouTube. Every time i try it say flash player turned off, but it wasn't the true. The truth is i got blocked from watching YouTube video.
What do you mean by "Nope"?
I don't use the website
Even if I did, my school commissioned computer has an (apparently) epic virus prevention software
Your friendly neighborhood dropout loser.
Man all you have to do is mention something about software and you get so many armchair IT professionals giving epically bad advice "Norton is terrible you need to use (insert bloatware av program) instead!!"
The antivirus the OP has is irrelevant to this discussion since the question is if Norton triggering a block on MAL meant it was safe or unsafe. I don't use Norton, I use MSE and I saw the block myself because my router has a Norton web filter attached to it. People also will see the same thing if they use Norton's DNS service. It's not all about the AV client here :P
People should be glad Norton found those bad ads, since no other companies did. It made MAL aware of the issue and it was quickly fixed.

A veteran is dead after being shot by police who went to his home on a welfare check. Seventy-four-year-old Army veteran James Allen had heart surgery last week, and when his family in another county couldn't reach him, they asked police to check on him. That's when things went terribly wrong.
Police say when they first arrived at the house in Gastonia, North Carolina, they knocked but no one answered. An hour later, they went to the back door and forced their way in. That's apparently when Allen greeted them with a gun. A police officer killed him.
A family member speculates that Allen, disoriented, heard someone breaking into his back door and grabbed a gun to protect himself. Police say they made many announcements that they were police and to drop the weapon.
Family, however, are shocked, saying the elderly man "wouldn't hurt a fly." The officer who shot him has been placed on administrative duty.
Sounds like a horrible tragedy all the way around. Allen was probably shocked and afraid to see people standing in his home. On the other hand, would he not have recognized policeman attire? Was he confused from the operation and his recovery?
Only the people who were there know what happened, but it seems a shame that the very people who went there to help him ended up killing him. I'm sure that is not what the police wanted either.
This is the thing about guns: they can be for protection, but you don't always know what you're protecting yourself from. There have been news stories of people shooting their own relatives, people shooting innocents who came to their door looking for help. It's not always easy to know who is a threat and who isn't.
It's just too bad this had to happen and Allen's family must be devastated.
What do you think happened?

This is the man at the centre of the investigation into graffiti daubed on a war memorial.
The word 'Islam' was sprayed onto the £7 million Bomber Command memorial in London's Green Park.
Experts have so far failed to repair the damage done in the early hours of Monday.
The footage shows a man walking around the memorial, and appearing to spray the wall, just after 3am.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said officers were examining the footage and that the investigation was "very much still ongoing".
No arrests have been made so far.
Similar graffiti was daubed on the nearby Animals in War memorial, also in the aftermath of the killing of Drummer Lee Rigby in Woolwich.
Gerry Abrahams, 90, of Margate, Kent, who flew more than 31 bombing missions, told the Daily Express: "If anyone knows who this man is, please tell the police. He should be brought to justice. I am shocked and appalled by this vandalism."

Hi I'm Bryce
I'm a world traveler. I know God loves ALL of His children. I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am a Junior at Utah State University, dual majoring in Business Administration and Marketing. I love spending my time with my family and friends, exploring new parts of the world, playing soccer, riding bikes, kayaking and singing my heart out wherever I go.
Why I am a Mormon
My mother was born into an active LDS family. While growing up, she was forced to attend church functions and activities. So when she moved out she stopped going. Consequently, I wasn't born in the church, but I had many friends that were. One Sunday, when I was nine years old, I noticed that none of my friends could play with me because they were all at church. I didn't know which church, but I wanted to play with them. So that morning my sister and I woke my Mom up and told her we were going to church. We have all been active members ever since. I know Heavenly Father is mindful of us-always. But more than that, He understands each of us: our needs, our wants, and our desires, fulfilled and unfulfilled. He loves us more than we are willing to recognize.
How I live my faith
Music is a powerful way to express oneself. I am in a student-led choir that seeks to share testimony and faith in Jesus Christ with anyone who will listen!

Well, I'm keeping up my bi-monthly posting habit. Much has happened. My contract with the company was shortened, due to their financial problems. The company is land poor, which is a hard thing to swing. They underestimated their operating costs by more than a half million dollars a year. So, obviously, giving me the axe was the solution to that problem! Oh well. I was about ready to get out of there anyway.
So I went to New York for a few days.
Interesting things seen/heard in New York:
* A woman in her late fifties or early sixties walking down 8th Avenue in Chelsea wearing a pair of Lilly Pulitzer capris and black espadrilles---and a black tube top. The top was gravitating towards her waist, as was what she was trying to cover, and she was putting forth a valiant effort to pull it up.
* The woman at School Products arguing with someone in the back room in Russian, then sweetly asking me in English if I needed help or advice. They give good advice there, and have some excellent samples on display. I bought mercerized cotton there to make a chickami. Chicknits
* Watching white tourists in Chinatown. Yes, I know I'm white, and I was technically a tourist, but the throng of mosly southerners that I saw on the sidewalks of Canal Street were so damn stupid/naive. Like talking about the asian proprietor of a stall while standing next to him, as though he wasn't there or didn't speak English. Many cringeworthy conversations overheard.
* An Indian man with a blue MZ-N707 on the E train headed north from W. 4th Street. I so rarely see other MDers, so I was excited.
* A megamix of every hit Madonna's ever had played at H&M in Soho. It was hot, and made me nostalgic for simpler days. Like when I didn't decide to walk all over lower Manhattan in 90 degree heat.
* I discovered that Virgin Megastore (and it is mega) in Times Square cut its tiny minidisc section. Now I have no idea where one might purchase pre-recorded minidiscs. At the same time, I've never purchased a pre-recorded minidisc, so I suppose I can't really complain. I'm just disappointed.
*I bought a pair of orange kicks at Pearl River Mart. They're satin with beaded embroidery on the toes in the shape of a pair of frolicking dragonflies. My grandmother complimented me on them yesterday, which is the ultimate footwear approval in my family.
*I was riding one of the many buses in Manhattan, headed uptown to The Yarn Co., when I began to fuss with my minidisc player. This caused the spare battery that I'd crammed into the case with the player to fall out onto the floor and roll a short distance up the aisle of the bus before I snatched it back up. I casually threw it in my purse. Fifteen minutes later, while browsing yarn, I felt a great heat emanating from my purse, as though my lighter was playing a nasty joke. I thrust my had in quickly and realised that it was the battery! Apparently, its dramatic drop and roll on the bus had kick started a chemical reaction that was throwing off a lot of energy. I quickly got out of the store and threw the offending battery in the trash at street level.
* On Lewis's recommendation, I went to see CAMP at Landmark Sunshine Cinema. An excellent choice. I loved the movie, but I loved seeing it with a theatre literate audience even more. I wasn't ever the only person laughing at a joke. And there were some obscure references thrown in for all the theatre kids out there.
Upon leaving New York, or why am I such a shit magnet?
I got a voicemail from my friend who had given me a lift into the city on Sunday morning. He was visiting friends on Long Island, and it was sort of assumed that we would meet up in the city. I assumed that meant that he would also give me a ride back to the Berkshires. No, no. He decided to spend a few days with his step-sister in Connecticut instead. No apology or offer to help me make alternate plans.
So I decided to take the Metro-North back, and called an acquaintance to ask for a ride from the station. No problem, he said. Well, it was, because I had to wait at the station in Wassaic, the middle of nowhere, the end of the line, for four and half hours. The acquaintance never showed up. I used up my phone card trying to reach him. Of course, my cell phone didn't work there. His girlfriend finally told me that I should find another ride. Incredibly lame. Fortunately, a generous Australian was also waiting and gave me a fistfull of change to make calls. I called my roommate, who came and got me just before it got dark and started to rain.
The only lucky thing about this tale is that I decided to leave New York on Tuesday, instead of Thursday as originally planned. I drove back to Chicago on Wednesday, leaving the Berkshires around ten am and arriving here at about 3 am EST. It wouldn't have taken so long had I not been caught in horrendous construction traffic in Gary. They foolishly did not set up an alternate route or even open the shoulder to traffic, so 80/90 was down to a single lane. All that fuss so that they could work on a piece of pavement the size of my living room.
Well, I'm keeping up my bi-monthly posting habit. Much has happened. My contract with the company was shortened, due to their financial problems. The company is land poor, which is a hard thing to swing. They underestimated their operating costs by more than a half million dollars a year. So, obviously, giving me the axe was the solution to that problem! Oh well. I was about ready to get out of there anyway.

On Nov. 11, 2015 the Toronto Paramedic Association was represented by board member Michael Hull at the North York Remembrance Day ceremony. The ceremony was held at the Toronto Centre for the Arts and included veterans, currently serving military personnel, representatives from three emergency services and their respective associations, several other civilian organizations and various levels of government. The indoor ceremony was very well attended filling the George Weston Recital Hall. The ceremony included an Honour Guard and the Laying of Wreaths was presided over by Ms. Lilian Jardine. Every year following the official ceremony, she asks all military personnel who have ever served or who are currently serving, including the Canadian Coast Guard, to stand and be recognized for their bravery and commitment to this nation. As the representatives smartly stand the audience vigorously applauds these men and women. Scanning the room, it is quite moving to see these brave individuals receive a small token of gratitude for their service.

In response to the growing relevance of Linux-based applications in mobile communications , ARM, Freescale, IBM, Samsung, ST-Ericsson and Texas Instruments among others have joined hands to form a not-for-profit company called Linaro targeted at building momentum for Linux-based devices. The company intends to help open source developers working with Linux on System-on-Chips (SoCs) and Linux distributions including Android, LiMo, Meego, Ubuntu and WebOS by providing appropriate resources and coordinated engineering support made possible by this new alliance. They are hoping to open up fresh possibilities in terms of new investment and to set the pace for technology advancements via updates on optimized tools, kernel and middleware software applicable for a wide range of SoCs, every six months. This would in turn help reduce time-to-market for products such as smart phones, tablets, digital televisions, automotive entertainment and enterprise equipment.
Linaro's first software and tools is planned for release in November 2010, and will provide optimizations for the latest range of ARM Cortex processors. Additional partners are expected to join Linarao and further expand the resource base for the open source community.

Making of the CWE Top-25, 2010 Edition
Pascal Meunier - Purdue University

Watch in your Browser Watch on YouTube
AbstractFor the second time, MITRE's Common Weakness Enumeration project has released a Top-25 list. However, this year's is a much more sophisticated document, created using a systematic and more rigorous approach. It contains several sections and tables as well as profiles, and isn't only a list. I will
explain what the CWE is, what the purpose of the Top-25 is, how it was created,
which problems it faced and which it still faces, how it has been improved
since last year, and how you can use it.
About the SpeakerPascal Meunier received his B.S. in Physics in 1986 from Laval University, Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University of Québec in 1990, and M.Sc. in computer science from Purdue in 2000. Dr. Meunier has since worked at CERIAS on projects such as the Cassandra system (https://cassandra.cerias.purdue.edu), vulnerabilities of PDAs in a wireless environment, and vulnerability analysis (https://coopvdb.cerias.purdue.edu). He has been on the board of editors of the CVE at MITRE since 1999, and is adjunct faculty in Norwich University's program for their online Masters in Information Assurance.
Unless otherwise noted, the security seminar is held on Wednesdays at 4:30P.M. STEW G52 (Suite 050B), West Lafayette Campus. More information...

Why Not Ask Her Out?
The fate of dating in a hook-up world
Dating was once common and everyone knew the rules. You asked a girl out for a soda or a movie but it didn't mean marriage, or sleeping together by midnight. It meant you both wanted to share a good time and get to know one another better.
Today, evidently, it's different. In a youth culture of hook-ups and no-commitment, one-night stands, dating is considered awkward and old-fashioned.
To help young people rediscover the fun and virtue of dating, the Love and Fidelity Network developed an initiative called Bring Dating Back. With a focus on Valentine's Day, the program uses innovative graphics and social media to spread its message.
Fathers for Good spoke with Brittany Crippen, director of outreach and communications at the Love and Fidelity Network, for an update on the initiative.
Fathers for Good: How many years has Bring Back Dating been running?
Brittany Crippen: We released the first poster campaign in February 2015 and unveiled an updated version of the original campaign in February 2016.
FFG: What has been the response?
Brittany Crippen: When we released the campaign, the response was overwhelmingly positive. We saw so much energy and excitement on campuses all across the nation.
FFG: What's so great about dating?
Brittany Crippen: We launched the #BringDatingBack campaign to encourage college students to feel more comfortable asking each other out and intentionally dating, instead of "hanging out" or hooking up. The great thing about the campaign is it reminds students dating can be fulfilling and fun—without all the emotional and physical complications of the hookup culture. While the hookup culture fosters an attitude of "whoever cares less wins," discouraging genuine care about and communication with one's partner, dating provides a fun, low-pressure way of getting to know someone that is both respectful and relaxed.
One goal for the campaign was to overcome the awkwardness so many college students associate with dating. To revive the lost social script of asking and being asked on actual dates, we used posters with casual cartoons and simple "how-to" instructions for asking each other out. Their light and jocular tone was a huge hit with students!
FFG: What are the benefits of dating?
Brittany Crippen: The promise that women would be liberated by embracing a "playboy" lifestyle is a lie. Our contemporary sexual climate has resulted in women being more likely to feel disrespected by their partners, to experience depression and anxiety, to contract STIs, to suffer from sexual assault, the list goes on and on.
The Austin Institute released a fantastic short film called the Economics of Sex that explains today's modern hook-up market—and points out exactly why men have the power in it.
This is not to say that relations between the sexes are ever totally straightforward. Men will always be a bit of mystery to women, and the same is true (perhaps even truer!) in the reverse. But that's the great thing about dating: it gives you the chance to look at someone of the strange, confusing, mysterious, opposite sex and say, "I'd really like to know you. Tell me something about yourself."
FFG: Has online pornography changed the dating equation?
Brittany Crippen: Undoubtedly pornography has changed the dating equation. It harms relationships in myriad ways. Pornography habituates users into thinking of people as objects for their own gratification and makes sex a solitary recreational activity rather than a moment of intimacy and self-gift within a loving relationship. It has directly changed the perceived norms of healthy sexuality and of what kind of behaviors are expected in relationships. Its prevalence has also cheapened the price of sex (to borrow the language of economists), acting as a competitor to, and, in some cases, a replacement for, women in the dating market.
It's clear that in order to foster an atmosphere of healthy dating, we also need to be having more conversations about the harms of pornography and the damage it inflicts on the human heart and on our relationships.

Hey everyone,
I've been pulling my hair out with this one, but maybe someone can be my angel!
Alright here's the question:
"Let T be a binary tree with n nodes. Define a Roman node to be a node v in T, such that the number of descendents in v's left subtree differ from the number of descendents in v's right subtree by at most 5. Describe a linear-time method/function for finding each node v of T, such that v is not a Roman node, but all of v's descendents are Roman nodes."
a pseudo code solution is required
So basically from what I understand, a Roman node is a node where # of children in left or right differ by <= 5. I am to create a function which find each node that is not a Roman node, but all of its descendants are (inherently).
My most sensible approach to this is to start off at the root node and traverse it all the way down one side, arbitrarily the right side. once it hits it's last node, traverse the left branch of every node as it backtracks and keep a count somehow of each node in the subtree.
I suppose I'm most confused on how to find the number of differing descendants per node in O(n) time.
Maybe I'm totally over complicating this. Can someone please enlighten me? Thank you so much in advance

Rockefeller to hold meeting in Martinsburg
MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., will hold a town meeting Monday at the Berkeley Senior Center, 217 N. High St., Martinsburg.

"Given our budget surplus, we have an unprecedented opportunity to secure Social Security and Medicare, pay down the national debt and provide meaningful tax cuts to all West Virginia families," he said.
The meeting begins at 12:30 p.m.

And please tell me your thoughts about the Pages, too (the menu across the top). Thanks!

QUESTION: I want to remove my old carpeting, which is glued directly to a concrete floor. How should I do it?
Brent Evans of RSS Distributors, a Leola, Pa.-based equipment supplier to the tool-rental industry, says:
ANSWER: Begin by pulling up the carpet, starting in a corner; it should peel up easily. If the room is big, slice the carpet into manageable pieces with a utility knife.
Odds are that the rubber backing and adhesive on the carpeting will remain stuck down. The quickest, easiest way to remove them is with an electric floor scraper, a walk-behind machine with a vibrating blade that plows up the residue.
Floor scrapers rent for $50 to $70 a day. They're loud, so wear earplugs--as well as eye protection--while you work. You might also want to rent a small hand-held scraper with a razor blade for corners and other hard-to-reach areas.

Two decades ago today, I did something immensely stupid: I left home. Literally and figuratively. Twenty years ago, I was still sleeping in my room on Gatestone Avenue in Oakville. While I had lived on my own at university, and while I was on my co-op work terms in Ottawa, staying at home was … comfortable. And as my parents didn't object, it seemed like a good idea. Literally leaving home wasn't the problem — I'd already done it a dozen times.
Figuratively leaving home — notably the familiarity of the Greater Toronto area, but Ontario in general — was another matter. I'd not really lived abroad, where going to my parents' house was something I did in an afternoon. I decided to throw myself into the world without any plan whatsoever.
Twenty years on, it was the smartest move I ever made.

What a brilliant idea to make a ribbon frame . . never thought of that and may have to plagerise that idea (if that's ok?).
Your card is very vibrant and I love the touchy, feely design you have built into the card. The visually impaired children at school would just love to receive this card . . . may have to make my own version.
