I am an 'adult male human' and can sing from A2 to G4 comfortably. It would be great if I can sing up to a whole octave below this. I am in no hurry and am willing to expend time and effort. I just want to know what are the techniques and what amount of work would be involved. Also, I would like to know what is the difference between a false bass and a true bass voice and when to employ which.
First off, let's start with the definitions of the terms.
False Bass (or "Fauxbourdon") is a French term relating to the harmonization of plainchant melodies in which the bass would be a 6th below the melody; thus creating a serious of first-inversion chords as the organum would typically be harmonized a perfect-fourth below the melody.
I believe you probably meant to ask about vocal fry, which is like a falsetto, but for the lowest part of the vocal range.
A Bass range is approximately from E2 - E4 though some operatic roles necessitate further range extension. However, a True Bass range can extend much lower - typically down to Bb1 though many singers - especially Gospel singers and Russians can sing even lower still.
There is a joke in music: "Russia, where the men sing like men...and so do the women!"
As for expanding your range, like anything worth doing, it takes time. How much time and how much work are up to you - your results will show accordingly. Practicing too much can overtax your voice and lead to complications. Practicing too little will not yield desired results.
If you want to expand your range down, you must also expand your range up. Yes you can absolutely only work on low stuff, but you would only fully develop your low range when you developed your high range as well.
A simple exercise to do would be to start at middle C on the piano (C4) and sing downward chromatically to your lowest note. It should be relaxed; not forced. Try 3 times to sing the note clearly. If it doesn't happen, leave it be and try again the next day. The same should be done for singing upwards as well. The idea is that over time you will eventually develop the necessary flexibility to sing those pitches; thus expanding your range.
Another simple exercise for developing a purer tone and increasing flexibility would be to sing "Nae-Yah" (spelled phonetically) outlining a perfect-fifth interval with each syllable. "Yah" is held as you outline the descending triad and the final 5-note scale that outlines the original interval; which can either be slurred or articulated with "ha".
There are a plethora of vocal techniques to list that can help you, but most of them should be demonstrated in some way, and you would not otherwise glean any assistance from my answer. My recommendation would be to find a friend who is a trained vocalist and have them show you some warm-up techniques that will "open" up your voice and give you more flexibility.
Two more thoughts:
1.) Always warm up your voice by singing down before you sing higher (in your case make sure you sing higher as well!)
2.) Every voice is unique, and an adult man with a high voice is actually a very attractive sound. So much so that in Italy they use to castrate boys before they reached puberty so that their voices would not drop and they retained the boyish purity of tone with the presence of a man. Having heard a recording of one of the last male castrati I can say that it is quite a unique and mysterious sound.
At any rate, I hope those thoughts were helpful and answered your questions.
I've found this to be quite a challenge personally. Developing the bass tone is difficult precisely because focusing attention tends to induce muscular tension and raises muscle tone making lower vibrations more and more difficult to achieve.
If at all possible, do your practice first thing in the morning and stop when you notice tension rising.
Bass note require more breath support. Try to summon the note from below with a lot of breath. Tension is applied only to select the pitch; don't ever push lower by squeezing anything.
Being a bass is not by working only, you have to have it basically... and with a range like that, I wouldn't get my hopes to high, but it can be achieved with techniques I guess! I'm 17 and my range is Eb2 - G4 my vocal coach told me I could grow up to be a bass... but with A2 as the lowest note, i'm not so sure about that...

Newsome grows accustomed to the media spotlight
SOUTHINGTON — Just about everything there is to say about Ansonia running back Arkeel Newsome's freakish athletic ability has been said. But another part of his development has been just as impressive.
The shy, soft-spoken Newsome sure has matured over the last few years. It used to be impossible to get more than a few words out of the 5-foot-8, 182-pounder after even his most productive games. Fast forward to Wednesday's CIAC media luncheon at the Aqua Turf, and it seems as though the UConn recruit has finally embraced his stardom.
"I'm definitely busy with all these interviews," Newsome said. "It gets tiring, but I like talking about me and my team."
As a sophomore in 2011, Newsome shattered the state's single-season rushing and scoring records en route to earning state MVP honors from just about every outlet. Everybody wanted a piece of Newsome, and he wasn't quite ready for it.
"I was a nervous wreck," Newsome said. "But I've gotten more comfortable with it and I'm definitely getting better with my interviews."
It's something not lost on Ansonia coach Tom Brockett, either.
"He's matured," Brockett said. "He was a scared cat when he was a sophomore standing in front of cameras. He's still not the most outgoing person in the world, but he's come out of that shell and is more comfortable with everything."
Newsome's improved comfort with the media pales in comparison to the way he deals with detractors, though. Twitter and blogs give fans plenty of opportunities to take shots at Newsome, but he's never responded with anything but his legs.
"A lot of adults can learn lessons from him," Brockett said. "You look at how he's carried himself and how humble he's been, and it's not easy because people have waited for a reason to knock him on or off the field. People should enjoy it for what it is. It's been the most remarkable career in the history of Connecticut high school football."
Slavin back as a 'backer: When he was a sophomore at Holy Cross, Chris Slavin experienced the Crusaders' Class S state championship victory over Cromwell. Now back at his hometown school, Slavin has a chance to do it again.
Slavin, a Prospect resident, wanted to spend his senior year at Woodland. He was a welcome addition for Hawks coach Tim Shea and his staff, who knew they were adding a quality linebacker.
"He's another experienced player," Shea said. "We lean on our seniors a lot. When we knew he was coming over the summer, we knew it was good. He's bought into what we're doing and he's been a great addition."
The 5-foot-11, 211-pounder recorded two sacks in the Hawks' 25-22 win over Naugatuck in Week 4 and enjoyed his best game the morning after Thanksgiving, when he notched 10 tackles and a game-saving forced fumble in Woodland's 22-19 victory over Seymour.
Since halftime of that game against the Wildcats, Slavin and the Hawks' defensive have picked up the pace.
"I guess something clicked," said Slavin, who has 76 tackles and 5 ½ sacks on the year. "We've worked hard all season but it comes down to crunch time. It's just (feeling vibes) off each other. We put more trust in each other."
Three-peat on deck: With a victory against Woodland, Ansonia can complete the 10th three-peat in the history of the CIAC football championships.
Since 1976, there have been nine teams that have won at least three straight state championships. Ansonia (1981-84, 1987-89) and St. Joseph (1980-84, 1988-90) are the only schools to pull off the triple more than once.
Other teams to win at least three in a row are Cheshire (1992-97), Bloomfield (1997-2001), Daniel Hand (2003-05), New Canaan (2006-09) and Xavier (2010-12).
A state championship would be Brockett's fifth in eight seasons. His teams won Class S titles in 2006, 2007 and 2012, and his 2011 Chargers took the Class M crown.
"They're all different," Brockett said. "They're all special, and you'll never forget them."
The road runs though Ansonia: Shea has as much experience standing on a sideline opposite from Ansonia as anyone. It stretches back to his playing days in the early '90s at Naugatuck, continues with his assistant coaching stint under Greyhounds coach Craig Peters later that decade and lives on now through his 11-year stint at Woodland.
Over the last couple of decades, Shea's learned at least one thing: Somewhere on a path to a championship, Ansonia will be waiting.
"When we first started at Woodland we made it a point of how important playing them is," said Shea, who joined Chris Anderson's staff in 2002. "In most years, the NVL and Class S goes through them. Over the years, a few things have gone right for us. Hats off to them for setting the standard."
The Hawks' only two victories over Ansonia came in 2004 and 2005. Both games gave Woodland ownership of the NVL Small Division championship, which led to the Hawks' two league titles and two Class SS crowns.
Odd one out: Shane Kingsley has two state championship rings. Cody Kingsley has one. Tanner Kingsley doesn't have one — yet.
Woodland's senior quarterback has one last chance to match his older brothers if he can engineer a monumental upset of the Chargers. Tanner has all the records a player could want, but Ansonia and North Branford stood in the way of his own ring last season.
"When Jack (Pinho), Levi (Fancher) and I were named captains in the summer, we knew what we had to do to get to this point," said Kingsley, whose team has lost to Ansonia in the last two NVL title games and fell to North Branford in the 2012 Class S semifinals. "Losing in the semifinals last year hurt, but all the hard work has paid off."
His brothers will join him on the sidelines at Arute Field in hopes that the youngest Kingsley can earn a piece of jewelry of his own. Shane is a volunteer assistant coach while Cody leads the wide receivers and special teams.
"Shane and Cody have experience playing in this game, and we've talked about it," Tanner said. "They're my coaches now, so it's a great feeling to be here with them."

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Fisheries biologist Don Harrison recently was selected as the "Fishery Worker of the Year" by the Georgia Chapter of the American Fisheries Society, announces the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division.
The mission of the American Fisheries Society is to improve the conservation and sustainability of fishery resources and aquatic ecosystems by advancing fisheries and aquatic science and promoting the development of fisheries professionals. This award is presented to an individual in recognition of efforts that have made a significant impact on fisheries research or management in Georgia during the past year.
"Don Harrison not only efficiently handles his regular duties, but also took on the process of leading Georgia in the Section 10 Permit process for the shad fishery coastwide," said John Biagi, Wildlife Resources Division's chief of fisheries management. "This task was tremendously daunting in scope and Don is being the leader for many other states that will be following his example."
Harrison, a fisheries biologist for the Wildlife Resources Division for 17 years has developed, led and assisted with many outstanding achievements.
The Section 10 Permit process, which goes through the National Marine Fisheries Service, is a lengthy, complex and often frustrating process. No other state along the Atlantic coast has such a permit for shad fisheries. The permit allows the commercial shad fishery to continue to operate while protecting endangered sturgeon. Initiating this effort included developing the application, reviewing drafts and working with multiple agencies, including the Coastal Resources Division and federal agencies, such as the National Marine Fisheries Service.
In addition to overseeing the Section 10 process, Harrison also continued the shad management project for Georgia, supervised biological activities on Paradise Public Fishing Area, and serves the Southeast fisheries office as assistant supervisor.
"Don is always professional, dedicated and competent – but his persistence at tackling this permitting process is what led to, and ultimately, qualifies him for this award," said Biagi.

This is in regards to Scientific Linux 6.1 system, but should also apply to CentOS 6.1 & RHEL 6.1.
I am setting up a new Scientific Linux 6.1 system, using kickstart and DHCP (via xCAT). This machine should be named `'host2.example.org'.
I see that some programs are unable to resolving the hostname of this system.
It seems that RedHat 6 no longer puts a hostname into
/etc/hosts (See bug 668830 and RedHat KB DOC-57321 (login required)). In addition, the hostname is not defined in
# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
# cat /etc/sysconfig/network
# hostname
# hostname --long
hostname: Host name lookup failure
I was expecting to see the hostname in
/etc/sysconfig/network , but it's not there. Shouldn't something (like NetworkManager) put the hostname into a file somewhere? If so, why is there no HOSTNAME line in my
/etc/sysconfig/network? Should Kickstart or Anaconda do this?
For CentOS/SL 5.6, I believe the hostname was always added to

Medical experts from all specialties agree: breast milk is best for babies. Now there is a new way for local women to donate their breast milk to babies who need it. The Nebraska Medical Center is now a drop-off site for the Iowa Milk Bank.
"A lot of new mothers who are struggling with supply issues say, 'What are my options?'" said Lindsey Abbott, lactation consultant at The Nebraska Medical Center. "We also routinely get questions from women who want to donate their milk. Now we have a way to help!"
The Iowa Milk Bank acts as a distribution hub, supplying donated milk to hospitals and healthcare providers around the country. The medical center is one of 17 hospitals partnering with the milk bank. It's the second Omaha hospital to join.
The system is regulated by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA), which oversees milk donation programs in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Women wishing to donate their milk at The Nebraska Medical Center must first contact the Iowa Milk Bank. They must also have a blood test before they can donate milk. After they pass, they can simply drop their milk off at the lactation office in University Tower where their milk will be stored in a special freezer. The milk bank then pasteurizes the milk and uses dry ice to keep it cold during transportation.
"When it comes to nutrition, the World Health Organization has four rankings," explained Ashlie Bergren, lactation consultant at the medical center. "First, is breast feeding with baby and mother. Second is pumped breast milk from mom, and third is any breast milk. Fourth is baby formula. So any breast milk is better than none."
For more information about becoming a breast milk donor, women can call 1-877-891-5347 or email email@example.com.

Stunning Kommetjie sunset – Flickr pic of the day
This photograph of people taking a walk on the beach and enjoying the sunset was taken by our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. group member Simon Fishley.
Simon says, "I was attending a friend's 40th birthday party for which she hired a stunning beach house in Kommetjie. Everyone from the party had decided to go down to the beach (about a 5m walk!) to watch the sunset so we were surrounded by friends on a perfectly warm evening with barely a breath of wind. The beach was full of people having a good time. Truly a magical Cape Town day."
Do you have images of Cape Town you'd like to share with us? We'd love you to join the Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group!

For Immediate Release
April 30, 2013
Dia Art Foundation presents Thomas Hirschhorn's Gramsci Monument from
July 1–September 15, 2013
Thomas Hirschhorn's first Monument in the United States and Dia's first public commission since Joseph Beuys's 7000 Oaks in 1996
(New York, NY) – Dia Art Foundation will present Gramsci Monument, a new artwork by Thomas Hirschhorn, on the grounds of Forest Houses, a New York City Housing Authority development in the Morrisania neighborhood of the Bronx, New York. Gramsci Monument will be open to the public from July 1–September 15, 2013.
"My decision to do Gramsci Monument does not come from an understanding of the philosopher Antonio Gramsci, rather it comes from my understanding of art and my belief that art can transform." -- Thomas Hirschhorn
Gramsci Monument is the fourth and last in Thomas Hirschhorn's series of "monuments" dedicated to major writers and thinkers, which he initiated in 1999 with Spinoza Monument (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), followed by Deleuze Monument (Avignon, France, 2000) and Bataille Monument (Kassel, Germany, 2002). This fourth monument pays tribute to the Italian political theorist and Marxist Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937), famous for his Letters and Prison Notebooks (1926–1937). Gramsci Monument is based on Hirschhorn's will "to establish a definition of monument,' to provoke encounters, to create an event, and to think Gramsci today. My love for Antonio Gramsci is the love of philosophy, the love of the infinitude of thought. It is a question of sharing this, affirming it, defending it, and giving it form."
Over the years, Hirschhorn has maintained a commitment to presenting his work in exhibition spaces such as museums and galleries, but also in "public space": urban settings, sidewalks, vacant lots, and communal grounds of public housing projects. Every work of Hirschhorn's aims to include the Other, and address what he calls a "non-exclusive audience." "The Gramsci Monument will remain an affirmation of an autonomous art work that is made as a gesture of love. This gesture doesn't necessarily call for an answer; it's both utopian and concrete. I want to create a new form, based on my love for a "non-exclusive audience."
"Gramsci Monument is a defining project for Dia, and working with Thomas is both a privilege and a learning experience. Every day we learn from his uncompromising commitment to art and audiences," says Philippe Vergne, Director, Dia Art Foundation. "Gramsci Monument reinforces Dia's commitment to off-site commissions, which is at the center of our mission. I am confident that through this project Dia will become a different, stronger institution — one that is even more engaged with the reality of art today."
With Gramsci Monument, Hirschhorn will apply his guidelines for "Presence and Production" by being present and producing on location during the full course of the project. "To be 'present' and to 'produce' means to make a physical statement, here and now. I believe that only through presence—my presence —and only through production —my production— can my work have an impact in Public Space or at a public location."
Hirschhorn's ambition is to create through his work, a form of "co-existence," where questions of autonomy, authorship, and energy are addressed, challenged, and ultimately reinvented.
Gramsci Monument will take the form of an outdoor pavilion constructed with easily available, "unintimidating," everyday materials. The structure will be built—and later dismantled—by local residents of Forest Houses, coordinated by Hirschhorn and Erik Farmer, Forest Houses Resident Association President and long-time resident. As was the case in his previous monuments, it is the artist's intention that Gramsci Monument be built and run with the help of local residents, employed temporarily and involved at every stage of the project.
The structure will include an exhibition space with a selection of archives and a library with books by (and about) Antonio Gramsci, borrowed from the Fondazione Istituto Gramsci in Rome, Casa Museo di Antonio Gramsci in Ghilarza, Italy, and the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute in New York, a theater platform, a workshop area, a lounge, an internet corner, and the Gramsci Bar, which will be run by local residents. The Gramsci Monument will be open daily, offering a daily program of lectures by philosopher Marcus Steinweg, a children's workshop run by Lex Brown, a play titled the Gramsci Theater, a radio station, and a daily newspaper. Weekly programs will include Gramsci Seminars led by eleven scholars, Poetry Lectures and Workshops led by eleven writers, Art Workshops led by Hirschhorn, open microphone events coordinated by the community, and field trips organized by the project's "ambassador," Dia curator, Yasmil Raymond.
In order to be continuously present on location throughout the production of his artwork, Hirschhorn will temporarily reside in the South Bronx (from July 1 - September 15) with Lex Brown, Marcus Steinweg, and Dia's curator, Yasmil Raymond.
"It has been a privilege to work alongside Thomas as he puts forth a new idea of the monument and creates an active space of exchange between people, ideas and communities. The depth of his engagement is exceptional. Thomas has the absolute will to include others, and wants to put the whole world in his work," said Raymond,. "We are deeply grateful to NYCHA Chairman John Rhea and the hardworking team at NYCHA for embracing this project. Above all, our most profound gratitude goes out to the residents of Forest Houses —in particular Erik Farmer, Clyde Thompson, and Diane Herbert —for joining us in this beautiful effort and offering a firm handshake from day one."
Hirschhorn has also created a website as part of the Gramsci Monument. It is an informative platform offering texts, notes, pictures and videos documenting the process of the artwork, from its earliest sketches. The website will be updated daily with the productions, philosophy lectures, newspaper and radio streaming that have taken place. It will also offer a "press-kit" with pictures and texts available for publication (free of rights). The website, following the monument's guideline, is meant to be temporary, and will end on December 31, 2013. For additional information, visit the archive of www.gramsci-monument.com.
To realize this project, Dia and the artist are collaborating with the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). Hirschhorn began "field work" two years ago, visiting forty-six Public Housing sites all around New York City, and meeting with residents in three boroughs, before focusing on seven locations in the Bronx: Castle Hill, Soundview, Monroe Houses, Patterson, Bronx River, Claremont and Butler Houses and Forest Houses. The "encounters" at Forest Houses with Diane Herbert, Clyde Thompson and Erik Farmer were decisive for Hirschhorn: "I was challenged and taken seriously. These were the real encounters between me and the Other—and one can easily understand that without these encounters, no decision regarding a possible location can be taken. This is why the Gramsci Monument will take place at Forest Houses."
"The New York City Housing Authority is very much looking forward to our residents engaging in this very special endeavor," said NYCHA Chairman John Rhea. "We especially thank artist Thomas Hirschhorn for bringing his unique vision to public housing, and totally involving Forest Houses residents. And we thank Dia Art Foundation for its generosity in making this artistic effort possible."
Gramsci Monument will be Dia's first public commission in New York City since 1996, when Dia extended Joseph Beuys's 7000 Oaks on West 22nd Street from 10th to 11th Avenues. The opportunity to work with Hirschhorn represents a new manifestation of Dia's commitment to enabling artists to achieve ambitious projects that cannot be realized within the museum context. In anticipation of the Gramsci Monument, from September 15–November 3, 2012, in New York City, Dia presented Timeline: Work in Public Space, which comprised a 30-foot linear layout of images, written statements, and text excerpts chronicling Hirschhorn's interventions in "public spaces" in urban and rural sites from 1989 to 2011.
Dia Art Foundation offers special thanks to the New York City Housing Authority. Major support for Gramsci Monument has been provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Maja Oeri and Hans U. Bodenmann. Generous support has been provided by Dia's Commissioning Committee: Jill and Peter Kraus, Leslie and Mac McQuown, Genny and Selmo Nissenbaum, and Liz Gerring Radke and Kirk August Radke; public funds from Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Arts Council; and the Jan Michalski Foundation. Additional support has been provided by the Martin and Rebecca Eisenberg Foundation, Pamela J. Joyner and Alfred J. Giuffrida, Stéphane Samuel and Robert Melvin Rubin, Lenore and Adam Sender, and public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

Thomas Hirschhorn
Thomas Hirschhorn was born in Bern, Switzerland, in 1957. He studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich from 1978 to 1983. Over the past thirty years, Hirschhorn has become internationally renowned for his critically engaged and humanistic aesthetic. He has created over sixty works in public space that pair everyday materials with a universalizing approach that proposes that both the work of art and the process of artistic creation are collaborative and accessible to a broad ranging audience. Since his first solo show in 1986 (Bar Floréal, Paris), Hirschhorn has garnered much critical attention and has had solo exhibitions at international venues, including the Art Institute of Chicago (1998); Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (2001); Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (2005); Museo Tamayo, Mexico City (2008); and Secession, Vienna (2008). In 2009, he completed a new homage to Spinoza entitled "The Bijlmer Spinoza-Festival," in Amsterdam, and he has most recently held solo exhibitions at the Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens, Deurle, Belgium (2010); Les Ateliers de Rennes, France (2010); the Sprengel Museum, Hannover (2011) and Gladstone Gallery, New York (2012). Among many group exhibitions, he has participated in Skulptur Projekte in Münster (1997); the Venice Biennal (1999 and 2011); Documenta 11 in Kassel (2002); São Paulo Bienal (2006); the Carnegie International, Pittsburgh (2008); Brighton Photo Biennal (2008); Tirana International Art Biannual (2009); the 8th Gwangju Biennale, South Korea (2010); Moma PS1 (2011) and, most recently, at the 9th Shanghai Biennale; La Triennale, Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2012) and Kunsthalle Mannheim (2013). Hirschhorn has received numerous awards and prizes, including the Preis für Junge Schweizer Kunst (1999), Marcel Duchamp Prize (2000), Rolandpreis für Kunst im öffentlichen Raum (2003), Joseph Beuys Prize (2004), and Kurt Schwitters Prize (2011). He has been living and working in Paris since 1984.

Has anyone tried putting Ubuntu on the new retina MacBook Pro? If so, were there driver issues?
I did, here is how.
First make sure you got enough space for the installation on your SSD. I resized the partion and left 50GB freespace for ubuntu. Don't make any Partition, just have some dedicated freespace on the drive.
After that Grab the latest Ubuntu iso from here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/quantal-desktop-amd64+mac.iso
Once the file is downloaded use
Assuming you Downloaded the file into your Downloads directory. Open your Terminal and check the dev path of your usb drive:
once you got the path
If you got any error messages or Permission Denied alerts you need to umount the drive first by
While dd does write to your usb drive go to http://refit.sourceforge.net/ and grab the latest rEFIt version and download the .dmg file, open it and install the refit package.
Once dd is done (takes a while - depends on your usb stick quality) reboot os x and once it's starts again you should be greeted by refit boot menu and a choice of available os's. Select Linux and you will be booting Ubuntu.
Make sure to use F6 key and select
Once Ubuntu loads, Install and profit. Just let the installer use the freespace, it will partition the drive and you can change the swap space size later (it does 16gb swap by default for 16gb mbp retina)
NOTE: I don't have wifi running yet but I installed Ubuntu 15 min's ago, once I do have Wifi up and running i'll post an update here. Otherwise you can google the solution yourself.
I Installed it using instructions on http://cberner.com/2012/10/19/installing-ubuntu-12-10-on-macbook-pro-retina/ I still have two problems:
I will update as and when I solve these problems.

Are there any grocery stores that are open 24 hours a day in South Jakarta (Jakarta Selatan)? Carefour and Lotte Mart close at 22:00. People on vacation sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and want to go and get something to cook or drink...
@Mark Mayo I believe this groceries do not open 24/7
The best you can get are
These groceries stores are easy to spot, even sometimes Alfamart and Indomaret are located side-by-side. Just FYI, Jakarta is very terrible when it comes to Zoning. Which means, some places (like grocery stores) are not within walking distance. At least you will need to use motorbike to get there (unless you dont mind walking for 20 - 45 minutes, roundtrip - just to buy a pack of smoke or a can of beer).
This was harder than I thought it would be. Eventually resorted to FourSquare, with some success.
It may well be easier once you're there - locals always know these things :)

SOUTHERN AFGHANISTAN (CNN) -- Five coalition service members died after a helicopter crash in southern Afghanistan on Monday, the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force said.
Neither the nationalities of the service members nor the precise location of the crash was released.
The news release said there was no enemy activity in the area at the time of the incident.
It was the first coalition helicopter crash with fatalities since September.
There have been 18 coalition deaths in 2013, including two U.S. service members who were killed Monday by an assailant wearing an Afghan National Security Forces uniform.
The deaths come just after newly installed U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel visited Afghanistan on his first overseas trip sin

It looks really good:)
Is it ok to eat this in an emergency?

Can somebody explain to me why the line $DB$ is equal to $\sin(\alpha + \beta)$. I haven't been able to figure it out. My image (which I would post if I could) is located here:
For example,
if I try to use the law of cosines then, $$(\cos \alpha)^2 + (\cos \beta)^2 - 2(\cos \alpha) (\cos \beta) (\cos(\alpha + \beta)) = DB$$ which does not obviously equal $\sin(\alpha + \beta)$.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I'm on this!
Insanely great deal. Thanks for posting.
Is this a good deal? Lets see
Pee-wee's Big Adventure [Blu-ray] $14.99
Beetlejuice [Blu-ray] $7.99
Batman unavailable unless you want to buy it from an outside seller for $59.99
Batman Returns unavailable unless you want to buy from an outside seller for $69.99
Mars Attacks! [Blu-ray] $14.49
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride [Blu-ray] $7.99
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory [Blu-ray] $13.96
Total $59.42 not including the two batman blurays.
Why havent you clicked "I want one!" yet?
The description says the aspect ratio is 1.77:1.
They haven't really cropped these down, have they? I know Mars Attacks! was shot 2.35 to one, and, without looking, I bet the others are all 1.85:1 or wider.
Edit IMDB confirms Mars Attacks! at 2.35:1, Pee-wee's Big Adventure at 1.37:1 (really?), and the rest at 1.85:1.
Amazon never accounts for separate aspect ratios on boxed set releases. None of these have been cropped in any way.
The Music alone from these movies are worth the price....
You can also get just 3 of these movies (Beetlejuice, Charlie, Corpse) for $10 if you already have the others or you're just a big cheapskate: http://www.amazon.com/Beetlejuice-Charlie-Chocolate-Factory-Burtons/dp/B007NPKPN2/ref=pd_cp_mov_1
This is a fantastic deal even if you already own a couple of them; I know Batman Returns has been has been hard to find for a while now. I haven't seen Pee Wee and a few others in a long time!
@dunderhead: agreed, just saying. more options > less options.
great deal! Thanks!
Some great movies, some not so great movies... overall I'm in for one. Need to get one of those BluRay players now. o_O

Xavier star set to join Addazio's BC program
EAST HARTFORD — Xavier High of Middletown quarterback Tim Boyle is set on keeping his verbal commitment to attend Boston College next fall.
The Middlefield resident will be one of the state's premier players who will sign a national letter of intent in February and be among the incoming freshmen class for recently appointed head coach Steve Addazio, the former Cheshire High and Temple University head coach.
Boyle will lead the Falcons against Norwich Free Academy in the CIAC Class LL state championship Friday night at 7:05 at Rentschler Field.
"I have close to 30 relatives in Massachusetts and I've grown up a BC fan," said Boyle, who was also being recruited by UConn and North Carolina State. "It's a place where I am most comfortable at."
Boyle has thrown for 25 touchdowns and 2,300 yards this season.
Boyle's teammates, 6-foot-5, 273-pound right tackle Jonah Dorsey and 6-4, 313-pound Benjamin Lisle are both expected to attend UMass.
Windsor defensive end Cole Ormsby is also set to attend UMass. Windsor plays Hand for the Class L state title Saturday at 5:30 p.m.
Familiar territory: Hand of Madison linebacker Matt Walsh is staying home and attending UConn.
Overlooking Rentschler Field Monday, Walsh said he had several opportunities outside of Connecticut, but he called Huskies head coach Paul Pasqualoni back in August that he was staying put.
"I've been to a lot of UConn home games the last few years," said Walsh. "It was my dream to stay in my home state and play for Connecticut. I had options, and it was a hard decision, but I feel I made the right decision for me and my family."
Walsh's teammate, Peter Gershon, a defensive lineman, is headed to Yale.
On Ansonia, two-way starter Andrew Matos has received plenty of interest from Division I schools such as Bowling Green, Rutgers, Temple, Stony Brook and Central Connecticut. He's not made a commitment.
Matos said Monday that he'll likely attend prep school, possibly Milford Academy, which is coached by Ansonia's Bill Chaplick.
The 2014 class is shaping up to be very good with Ansonia tailback Arkeel Newsome, Norwich Free Academy junior tailback Marcus Outlaw and Hillhouse junior Harold Cooper among the top of the list. A fourth tailback, Ervin Phllips of West Haven, is also highly regarded.
"Harold has already been offered by Boston College, and the numbers of schools interested will only increase with time," said Hillhouse coach Tom Dyer. "He possesses speed and power. He normally doesn't play defense, but we put him in the other night and when we needed a play, Harold made twoor three impact plays. He squats over 500 pounds andbench presses over 250 pounds and he's the 55-meter indoor state champion."

MARLIN (December 7, 2012)—A boil order issued on Nov. 8 for Marlin water customers after a mistake involving misdirected chemicals caused the city's water plant to shut down was lifted at 4:30 p.m. Friday.
Steps have been taken to restore adequate pressure and tests confirm the water is free of contaminants and that water intended for consumption no longer needs to be boiled, the city said.
While repairs were made, the city used a portable system, but the city's plant was up and running Friday and the portable plant is no longer needed, officials said.

Riccardo Vettraino was convicted in 1996 of shooting and killing Julie Speakman, and severely wounding her husband John, in the kitchen of their home in 1995. But in 2003, then Warren Circuit Judge John Minton set aside Vettraino's conviction, when it was learned Speakman had a gun in his night stand. That information had not been revealed in Vettraino's original trial, so now he gets a new one.
Today Judge John Grise set Vettraino's new trial for March 6, 2006. And Vettraino's attorney, David Broderick, says his client will soon be out of prison, once his $500,000 bond is met. That's to be done with $300,000 cash, and a $200,000 surety bond put up by Vettraino's family.
But there are conditions to Vettraino's release including: 24-hour home incarceration with electronic monitoring in his parents' residence in Michigan, and police can check at any time to make sure Vettraino is in his parents' home.

If you are looking for a completely different holiday, different from South Bali's Kuta-Seminyak vibrant atmosphere, then you should head north to Bali's Lovina Beach. Situated some 9 Km from Singaraja, capital city of the Buleleng Regency, Lovina Beach facing the Bali Sea is the perfect definition of tranquility, where one can enjoy the true meaning of a laid back and relaxed life.
Lovina stretches across a swathe of over 8 kms coastline comprising a string of coastal villages, which are: Kaliasem,Kalibukbuk,Anturan, and Tukad Mungga – collectively known as Lovina. The heart of Lovina is the village of Kalibukbuk situated in the Buleleng District, Buleleng Regency.
Unlike other white-sand beaches on Bali, Lovina beach is of grey and black volcanic sand. Just as the nearby Pemuteran Beach, Lovina also features incredible underwater life to plunge in for those who enjoy diving and snorkeling. But, the main attraction here are the bottle-nosed dolphins (Tursiops truncates)n who haved made this coast their playground. .
Dolphins normally appear early in the morning just when the first rays of the sun rise on the horizon. These incredibly smart creatures will come and swim near boats and cavort around creating a truly fascinatingspectacle of nature. This anazing attraction can be viewed from traditional boats called "Jukung" that are offered by many operators or individuals on shore.
The name Lovina itself is said to be derived from the word "Love" and "Ina" which is Balinese for "mother". Therefore, Lovina means Love for the Motherland or the country. The name Lovina was once banned from being used here since it was considered alien, so that tourist businesses in the area used alternatived names such as Manggala, Krisna, Angsoka,or Nirwana. However, when tourism to north Bali grewsignificantly, the name Lovina was used again since it was easier for tourists to remember and was, therefore, favored by tour operators.
The history of Lovina cannot be separated from Anak Agung Panji Tisna who had travelled all over Asia and Europe. He became interested in the way of life of the people in Bombay, India, which led him toreplicate this in Buleleng. Returning from abroad in 1953, Anak Agung Panji Tisna immediately applied his ideas and established an inn called Lovina on his plot of land. The facility featured a 3 room cottage with a seaside restaurant. Over time, Lovina grew from a simple cottage to an extensive tourist destination.
There are a number of accommodation options available along Lovina Beach, among these are:
Lovina Beach Hotel Bali
Phone: +62 362 41005
Aneka Lovina Villas & Spa Bali
Jalan Raya Kalibukbuk Lovina Beach
Phone: +62 362 41827
Rini Hotel
Phone: +62 362 41386
Suma Beach Hotel Lovina
Phone: +62 362 41566
Do remember that dolphins appear only when the weather is right, so that there is no absolute guarantee that dolphins will automatically surface at any time. Dolphins will usually be attracted to rise to the surface of the sea when it is sunny and bright.
The best time to see dolphins is during the dry season , which is between April to October

ITA, local, and state officials all broke ground Friday on a new $5.5 million, 33,000 square foot training facility located on the Transpark site.
The new facility was part of the package that drew the Transpark's first tenant, Magna International, to the industrial park, and will help train employees of other new businesses who may move in.
The state was originally supposed to pick up the tab, but the project faced a delay after the General Assembly failed to pass a budget last year. In the interim, the Warren County Fiscal Court has stepped up to front the money, and will be repaid from state coffers when the new budget passes.
"We're an education community, that's one of the reasons we're thriving, and it bodes well for the future," said House Speaker Jody Richards (D-Bowling Green).
"People work on shifts in a manufacturing environment. And it's better if they can go out of the back or front door of the plant, and go right down the street to the training site, so it actually promotes the level of training and the convenience of it," said Dr. Jack Thomas, President of the Bowling Green Techincal College, who will staff the facility.
Warren County Judge Executive Mike Buchanon said "This will be a project that will enable many many people to find employment, and those people who graduate from WKU who wanna stay here, it'll give them an opportunity to stay here."
The facility is expected to be ready for use in 9 months.

An NHRA drag race that had been in jeopardy will go on as planned, according to race promoters.
The NHRA Hot Rod Reunion race is scheduled for June 20 at the Beech Bend Raceway, but park officials were worried that a lack of access to a disputed roadway would force race officials to move the race, and its 25,000 out-of-town fans, to another location.
As NewsCenter 13 reported Monday, the Warren County Attorney's office ruled in a letter sent out on Friday that Riverview Road is a private drive, and not public property. This ruling prevents Beech Bend officials from using the road as access for tractor-trailers to the raceway.
However, owners of the property on either side of the road said they would be glad to grant a 30-day extension which will allow the park to use the road through race weekend.

(From NASA) -- The Mars rover Curiosity has arrived at the "promised land" of Glenelg, a site of particular scientific interest on the Red Planet, said John Grotzinger, Mars Science Laboratory Project Scientist and professor at California Institute of Technology, at a news briefing Thursday.
For a little over a week, the rover has been sitting at a place called Rocknest, where it has used its scoop three times to pick up Martian material. The rover threw away the first two samples because they were used for cleaning high-tech instruments. Curiosity inserted material from the third sample into an instrument called Chemistry & Mineralogy (CheMin), which will analyze the minerals of which the material is composed.
"The most important thing about our mobile laboratory is that it eats dirt," Grotzinger said.
Scientists have been seeing something unexpected in the soil where Curiosity is scooping: Small bright objects. At first, they looked man-made and out of place, Grotzinger said. But upon closer examination, these one-millimeter flecks – about the size of the granules in the soil – were not uniformly bright, and didn't appear to have come from the rover.
"The majority of the science team felt that this might be something that is actually indigenous to Mars," he said.
There are two prevailing theories about what these flecks might be. One is that certain classes of minerals, when broken along a cleavage plane, would have a flat surface that reflects sunlight. Or, perhaps they're part of a soil-forming process.
This is likely not connected to the object that Curiosity found last week, which NASA scientists believe was "a shred of plastic material, likely benign."
The images that the rover sends from this location will help scientists come up with more hypotheses about how this area was formed. They will eventually pick a rock for the rover to drill into.
"Beginning with some rocks we studied before the scooping began, and going on now for the several weeks in front of us, those images will help guide us and give the team options of what I'm starting to call tours," he said.
The rover has been operating on Mars since its spectacular landing on August 6. After Glenelg, it will head to Mount Sharp, a three-mile-high mountain made of layers of sediment. Curiosity will examine these layers for organic molecules, evidence that life could have once existed there.
Curiosity's mission, which costs $2.6 billion, is slated to last for two years, although other rovers have far outlasted their expected lifetimes. The Opportunity rover is still chugging along, having landed in 2004.

The 6 Most Frequently Quoted Brain Facts (That Are Total BS)
#3. "I'm Getting Older, so My Mind Isn't What It Used to Be."
What you heard:
It's common knowledge that the brain deteriorates with age. That's why your grandpa keeps forgetting things, referring to the television as "the wireless" and calling you by your father's name. It's also why he's cranky all the time, and complains when anyone is making too much noise -- he's just getting on, and his old deteriorating brain can't handle the hectic modern world.
We might as well bury him now.
The truth:
Discounting the ones who actually develop mental disorders like dementia or Alzheimer's, old people actually have better brains than the rest of us. Ironically, that's kind of what makes them seem so stupid -- their seasoned brains are taking in a whole lot of information that your comparatively idiotic brain just doesn't notice.
He's a lean, mean information processing machine.
As it turns out, although your body tends to deteriorate as the years go on, your brain only gets sharper. Research has shown that, the older you get, the more information you take in from your environment. As a result, older people are actually better at problem solving, even though they become curmudgeonly and easily distracted at the same time due to the sheer amount of information their superior brains are taking in. Kind of like a kid with A.D.D., except they're a lot slower and quieter and sometimes have to use little motorized vehicles to cart them around.
Lucky old farts.
This, by the way, is also why the old lady downstairs is always yelling at you about turning down the TV, and shouting at the neighbor kids to cut out that racket. The fact that older brains absorb more information means they're actually impacted more by noisy distractions. It'd be like if you had a superhuman sense of smell, but as a result were constantly bombarded by an entire city's worth of farts. Suddenly you'd seem cranky, too.
#2. "You Get New Brain Wrinkles When You Learn Stuff."
What you heard:
At some point you probably heard someone try to tell you that the number of wrinkles in your brain has something to do with how intelligent you are. Or maybe you heard Donald Glover's character on Community claim that every sudden revelation "wrinkles his brain."
Pickling is another fine way to wrinkle a brain.
It kind of makes sense -- the more you learn, the more room your brain is going to need, but because it's all cramped up inside your skull, it has to fold over on itself as it grows. Why else does your brain look like it's been soaking in a bathtub for six weeks?
The truth:
By the time you're born, your brain is about as wrinkly as it will ever be, barring some kind of cosmetic brain surgery.
"Could you shoot some botox in there? I don't want wrinkles anywhere."
So why are brains wrinkly? We're sad to say that nobody really knows, but a leading theory suggests that it might have something to do with shock absorption. Computer models have shown that, if your brain was smooth, you'd sustain a lot more damage from hitting your head on stuff. So it turns out we have an evolutionary tolerance to heavy metal fandom.
And drunken bike rides.
Then again, some scientists believe that the more advanced animals, like primates, have more wrinkles in their brains because they allow for neural connections to be much faster. The brain has more surface area, so it has more neurons to deal with your monkey problems. Or, maybe it's both. But it certainly doesn't get wrinklier the more you learn.
Donald Glover lied to us. We never knew it would hurt so much.
Though that brings us to easily the most common brain myth of all ...
#1. "Whoa, He's Smart! Check Out the Big Brain On That Guy!"
What you heard:
It has been said by many a grandmother that their grandchild's huge skull means he or she will probably be a genius. No, Granny Dumbass, that kid's just ugly. People throughout the ages have assumed that brain size has some correlation with intelligence, which is why really intelligent people in pop culture have always been portrayed as having giant, bulbous noggins, and stupid people have tiny little pea brains.
As illustrated by this educational cartoon.
The truth:
Here's one clue: human beings don't have the biggest brains in the animal kingdom -- that award goes to the sperm whale, whose brain actually weighs about 9 kilograms (that's a little more than six times the size of a human brain). Dolphins also have bigger brains than us. Does it make them smarter? When was the last time a dolphin landed on the moon?
Where's your iPad?
The fact is, brain size doesn't have much to do with intelligence. That's why mice can navigate mazes but whales keep getting caught in fishing nets. It's not the size that counts, it's what you do with it. You're not going to get any smarter by swapping your brain with a big, juicy elephant brain -- you're just going to stand around like an idiot trying to pick things up with your nose. As it turns out, brain size correlates pretty much with how big the animal is, and that's about it.
And among individual humans, brain size has no visible effect on standardized intelligence tests. And though lots of dubious claims have been made about men being smarter than women because they have larger brains on average, the average IQ among men and women is pretty much exactly the same. Men have around 4 billion more brain cells than women, but there's no measurable difference in intelligence, so presumably those are the cells that males devote to learning the process of peeing various shapes into snow.
Also, shirtcocking.

Happy Birthday to: iRONIC, Sarah K_O_M, bell_6, xJESSiCA, tosha_tiger_angel and nikkolai!
Here are three facts about you. One, people love you. Two, you're a good example of why some animals eat their young. And three, you're so gullible you actually believed the lie in fact one! Any part of your personality that is wilful or possessive could be exposed this week, for there are opposing forces determined to bring out the best or worst in you. So drink less or you'll regret it. You have a great talent that no-one else has: you are so annoying that the mere look of you makes people want to stab you in the eye with a scalpel. So my advice to you this month is to avoid hospitals and clinics, and to wear a bag over your head if you must visit one... which will be likely after something bad happens to you next week.
Some people from your past will be thinking deeply about you this week when they burn an effigy in your likeness. You have made some very powerful enemies in your past; I would think about hiring police protection or at least making a sacrifice to the gods if I were you. Your face is grey from eating too much junk food. You know that funny square item in your kitchen that makes things hot? That's called a cooker and it would make sense to use it once in a while instead of just getting a McDonalds every week. You've been there so often that you're on first name terms with the staff and they always send you a card on your birthday. Then again, they are the closest thing to having friends; due to your unlikeable personality, most people avoid you like a dead fish on a hot plate.
You have an inventive mind and are inclined to be progressive. You lie a great deal, but on the other hand make the same mistakes again and again. Basically, everyone thinks youre a twit. They won't say so to your face, but guess what, everyone discusses you behind your back constantly. That solves the mystery of why your friends always stop speaking to each other when you come up! You will find a half penny coin on the floor of your room. The joy of discovering this outdated piece of legal tender will be immeasurable. Remember this feeling when you go to try use it in an arcade or parking meter, messing up the machine for the rest of us, and dont. Dont be that person. Do you want to be even more hated than you are already?
You are bull headed and thick skulled. Stones just bounce right off your head, and there have been many people throwing stones, lately. You know what I'm talking about, don't try and act all innocent around me. That saying, "A fool never learns" could have been made for you. You will never be respected cuz you just keep on performing the same random acts of idiocy over and over again. Your attitude this week needs to be one of understanding rather than anger or rejection. So, say, if someone takes the last beer from the fridge, seek to understand their reasoning rather than instantly condemning them. Or if the same person steals your food. Or uses your car without your permission. Just trust me on this.
Go listen to Dark Side of the Moon. Dont ask me why. The week will just be infinitely better if you do. You probably won't listen to this good advice, so look out on Wednesday this week when you will be forced to admit I was right all along. Ha! I'm looking forward to that, even if you're not. You are quick tempered, impatient, and scornful of advice. This is the cause of your downfall this Wednesday. In other news, you are very demanding of those around you, which means you are an idiot. Shut the hell up or someone is going to kill you. Upon engaging people in public you will experience light tension due to realizing that well all either die suddenly or after a long period of debilitation. Your bed sheets are the wrong colour.
Now that it's finally summer, you can quit wearing all black clothes and dig out your summer clothes in pastel colours. Do it. No-one wants to be driven to depression by looking at your black clothes and unsmiling face. You have a responsibility to the world at large to cheer the hell up. And stop listening to REM, for god's sake. At the time of the full moon, when your true personality comes to the fore, you will experience many new things. Don't try to resist it; just relax and enjoy it. You may find that you actually like howling at the moon and chasing down prey in the moonlight. For once, quit trying to plan everything and just go with the flow! It'll be worth it, I promise. Close friends and relatives will shower you with gifts and chocolate. Apparently someone started a rumour about you winning the lottery and it is best to just go with it.
Youve been feeling an increasing need to smack a loved one upside the head. When you do attempt to fulfill this desire, make sure you have an alibi and some fool ready to take the fall for you. If you are alive, you might or not might enjoy a birthday this month. Your friends will be incredibly generous this year. They will arrange a big birthday bash in your honour but will forget to invite you. Try to forgive them their trespasses. After all, you have been stealing all of their birthday gifts throughout your entire life! Your neighbour is beginning to realize that you have been spying on him. Its best to remove all the surveillance equipment perched over the wall. Deny that you ever had a neighbour if the police come to question you.
Beware of friendly looking dogs this month. Our sources tell us theyve been conspiring against you. Also avoid pink pillows that wink in the dark and chairs that appear to mock you as you walk by. Youve been letting your anger get the better of you lately. You must learn to forgive your enemies. Nothing will annoy them more. Youll have one of those days where you wake up on the wrong side of the bed because, long story short, someone pushed you. You know who it is, so give them a good kick to stop them doing it again. It's the only way that they'll ever learn. The truth always hurts, which is why you knock out a guy for calling your dress ugly. Don't feel too guilty; he had it coming.
Beware of those who come to you for help this month; they may be trying to use you. For what? Thats hard to say. You certainly don't have the brains to give out anything worth having. Perhaps they have just come to steal your shoes. Chances are that you'll do nothing of any merit this week. A co-worker will smile at you. It may mean something, or they may just be trying to be friendly. You never can be too sure with smiles, so beware... it could be a bad sign. The one that you bump into cuz you're too busy checking your Facebook on your phone is certainly a bad sign. You will have a black eye due to your carelessness all month so try and find a good concealer to cover it up so people aren't constantly asking you who punched you.
Your sense of humor will get you into trouble once again this month. The only way to avoid being lynched is to gag yourself effectively and to count sheep until the urge to speak passes. Here's a fun fact; nearly all Scorpios are either murdered or become murderers. Which are you, I wonder? When you wake up on Tuesday morning, you will discover that your bath is filled with tomato sauce, that your ability to not bump into the walls is gone, and that dinner is burning. Have you kept up to date with the animal sacrifices? I thought not. Perhaps you ought to do one now, just in case. That is one angry god that you have to appease this month, so I would get on that right now if I were you.
Saying that you look like the back end of a bus is an insult to all buses everywhere. You may grow concerned about your weight this month. This is due to a number of factors, not least of which is your weight-based star sign. Many who are unfortunate enough to be born under the sign of Sagittarius are morbidly obese. However, you can change your destiny if you work hard! You are sympathetic and understanding toward other people's problems. They think you are a sucker. You were abducted by aliens three days ago. They took out your brain, examined it, and decided that you were not intelligent enough for further experimentation. You think that your dreams actually mean something profound. Guess what, they don't.
Your friends are planning an intervention. Your love for world domination is really beginning to weird everyone out. You really must learn to take time off from your day job to relax a bit. There is no shame in admitting that you need help and usually others are only too happy to offer their services. Helping others makes them feel better anyhow, so consider yourself as doing them a favour by taking up their offer. Your paranoia can get often the better of you. That guy who keeps knocking on your door every morning is just the postman trying to deliver a parcel. And those voices in your head are only trying to reassure you that youre not actually crazy. Youre finally ready to forgive yourself for the most embarrassing moment of your lifetime and move on with your life. However the fact that its still getting 50,000 hits a day on YouTube is still a bit of a pain.

The real definition of a honey dip is in the song Honey Dip by Juelz Santana of Dipset..People seem to confuse honey dip for a pretty woman with a nice body. As said in the lyrics (let you hit then she splits thats why i got a honey dip) A honey dip is nothing more than a booty call that you have sex with and dont give them any way of contacting you again. Again said in the lyrics (She wont see a contact, adress book, or buddy list)

I am looking at a set of Organic Disc brake pads. The brake pads come with a steel back plate or as an aluminium back plate. Why would I choose one over the other?

Some Tektro calipers use a magnet to retain and position the brake pad. The magnet is part of the caliper piston so the pad backing material would have to be steel.Most hydraulic brake pistons are aluminum to reduce weight and resist corrosion.If your pistons are aluminum I would use the aluminum pads due to the possible corrosion caused by the disimilar metals (steelpad against an aluminum piston).
Aluminum has better heat transfer properties than steel, the pads should run cooler. Shimano's XT rotors are aluminum sandwiched between two stainless layers and Shimano claims they run cooler by as much as 100 degrees Celsius.

Jay P. Lefkowitz '87
Ever Ready
Jay P. Lefkowitz '87 believes in the power of being well prepared. The senior litigation partner at Kirkland & Ellis regularly readies for appellate arguments by asking his three-person team to compose 25 tough questions that he might be asked by judges. Lefkowitz writes out answers to each question. Then his colleagues propose three follow-up questions to each of his answers, and Lefkowitz prepares responses. That makes for 100 questions—for every court appearance.
"I developed that habit from presidential briefings," says Lefkowitz, who served as a White House adviser during both Bush administrations. "I prepared for each briefing the same way: By asking myself what are the 20 questions the president will ask me, and what might his follow-up questions be. There's nothing more precious than the president's time."
Lefkowitz's work for George W. Bush made a lasting impression, and, in 2005, after serving as a White House lawyer and senior policy adviser, the president appointed him U.S. Special Envoy for Human Rights in North Korea.
Recently, Lefkowitz, who is also an adjunct professor at Columbia Law School, drew from his experience in both the private and public sectors to successfully argue a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. The case dealt with the preemption of state lawsuits challenging the adequacy of generic drug labels, which are regulated by federal law. To prepare, Lefkowitz bolstered his normal preparations with seven mock oral arguments before colleagues and co-counsel, as well as a three-hour session before a group of seven Columbia Law School professors. Lefkowitz was grateful for the additional grilling, explaining, "You can never prepare enough."
