From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Traffic report
Eurovision, Google Doodles, Mothers, and 5 May
Eurovision is known for being political, and it was a doozy this week. Anger over Vladimir Putin's anti-gay laws manifested both positively (in the form of victory for Austrian drag queen Conchita Wurst) and negatively (the booing of the guileless teenage Russian entrants). In other news, the transition from spring to summer in the Northern Hemisphere meant that TV and movies share roughly equal space. Expect movies to overtake TV sometime near the end of June.
For the full top 25 list, see WP:TOP25. See this section for an explanation for any exclusions.
For the week of 4 to 10 May, the ten most popular articles on Wikipedia, as determined from the report of the 5,000 most viewed pages, were:
Rank Article Class Views Image Notes 1 Audrey Hepburn 1,617,064 The Oscar-winning actress, UN children's ambassador, epitome of 60s style and embodiment of the "gamine" got a Google Doodle on her birthday this week; she would have been 85 if she hadn't died 22 years ago. 2 Cinco de Mayo 1,192,811 One of the most self-explanatory article spikes on Wikipedia ever, this celebration of Mexican-American culture (originally meant to commemorate a Mexican victory over the French) occurred, conveniently, on May 5. 3 Conchita Wurst 739,352 It wouldn't be Eurovision without some unsettling political subtexts, and while Russia's not-quite-invasion of Ukraine may have had less impact than expected (they both gave each other points, albeit not a lot) the same cannot be said for its antediluvian restrictions on the LGBT community, (Eurovision is known as the "gay Superbowl", after all) reaction to which almost certainly played a part in this Austrian drag queen's triumph over bookies' favourite, Sweden's Sanna Nielsen. 4 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 670,016 A franchise that no one asked for has proven a bitter pill to swallow, at least in America. While the series's box office numbers as a whole are flat, it has had to rely increasingly on worldwide sales to attain them. The original Spider-Man film in 2002 made half its money at home and half overseas. For the rebooted Amazing Spider-Man, (this film's predecessor) the split was 2-1 for overseas grosses and, while this movie might just attain its series's standard tally of between $700 and $800 million, the overseas share is holding steady at 3-1. This declining domestic interest is even more obvious once inflation is accounted for. How it will affect the franchise's future is uncertain; at least one more sequel and a Venom spinoff are planned, but it's possible later instalments may be retooled to better attract international audiences. 5 Mother's Day 649,026 The second Sunday in May (that's May 11 to all you ingrates who forgot) is far and away the most popular time of year to celebrate Mother's Day, and, even as the day fell, panicked college students in all participating countries rushed to their computers to see if they'd blown it. 6 Amazon.com 485,896 This article suddenly reappeared in the top 25 after a long absence, but at least it has a reason: Amazon Fire TV; a digital streaming device to watch online content on a HDTV. How it distinguishes itself from the three or four other such devices currently on the market is a matter of some dispute. 7 Eurovision Song Contest 2014 472,907 There's always a political undercurrent to Eurovision, but it surfaced pretty nastily this year. Even for such a gay-friendly event, it was perhaps a bit untoward to boo the Russian entry, the winsome, 17-year-old Tolmachevy Sisters, simply for the homophobic decrees of their leader. Still, from the looks of things, they bore the abuse with grace. 8 Game of Thrones 444,209 New seasons of this immensely popular show always draw people to Wikipedia. 9 Deaths in 2014 396,516 The list of deaths in the current year is always a popular article. 10 YouTube 363,717 A perennially popular article.

- FWIW, Tom Neuwirth has said in interviews he's a drag artist, not transsexual per se (though he is most pleased for Conchita to be taken as support for transsexuality), and Conchita Wurst is a character - David Gerard (talk) 21:29, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
- I was just coming here to say the same thing. Describing Conchita Wurst as a transsexual is incorrect. She's a drag queen. Tom Neuwirth is (as far as anyone publicly knows) a cisgendered man who dresses up as a woman (but with a beard for an extra genderfuck twist) in order to entertain. Willam Belli once said, "If I'm not getting paid, I'm a boy", and the sources suggest the same is true of Tom/Conchita. Angr (talk) 08:33, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

World of Tanks Coming to PS4 Next Week
Written Thursday, January 14, 2016 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
World of Tanks is coming to PlayStation 4 next week, on Tuesday 19th January. The release comes following a series of beta tests on the console.
The tank-based multiplayer game is free-to-play and does NOT require a PlayStation Plus membership to enjoy, which is nice. You can save all your cash to invest in a Premium Account or some in-game goodies instead.
Speaking of in-game goodies, developer Wargaming is dishing some out to players on PS4. Everyone who logs in before January 31st will receive a free T1E6-PS Light Tank with "exclusive camouflage", while PS Plus subs will also receive a Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. J German Light Premium Tank bundle, as well as three days of Premium Account time.
A World of Tanks Premium Account allows players to buy new tanks more quickly and dishes out 50% more Experience and Credits earned in a match. There are several membership lengths, stretching from a day to a year. More here.

Wonderful fresh flavors right in the middle of winter! And beautiful colors for Christmas. It really is key to let the veggies sit in the dressing for a bit....makes it so delicious! Thanks for sharing! Made for "For Your Consideration" tag game on Yuku.com
We loved this salad! I have an abundance of green beans growing in my garden and am always on the lookout for different ways to make them so they are not boring. This was lovely.
Different and delicious salad. There is something 'new' happening in your mouth with every bite, which makes it a lot of fun to eat. Loved the Asian flavour profile. Will make again.
This was made using a fresh garden tomato that had the liquid and seeds removed. The salad was made first and allowed to hang out on the counter until the rest of dinner was ready to serve. It went nicely with recipe #482610 and Rice With Coconut Milk. Made for ZWT9.
I made this with yellow beans instead and we loved it! We were getting a little tired of the "harvest" and this was a perfect change-up. Made for ZWT 9

Skip to comments.NRA Discourages Board Members From Testifying Against Kagan
Posted on 06/28/2010 5:03:01 AM PDT by libstripper
On the eve of confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan -- and for the second time in two weeks -- the National Rifle Association (NRA) is under fire from conservatives. According to RedState's Erick Erickson, a prominent conservative blogger, "internal Senate emails confirmed by NRA Board Members show that the National Rifle Association's management team has explicitly and directly told the NRA's board they are prohibited from testifying about second amendment issues" during the Kagan hearings.
(Excerpt) Read more at politicsdaily.com ...
i've supported them too. Today i'm giving them a call & piece of mind
You could see it coming during the Klinton Years. I still say that GOA and the JFPOFO have more conviction than the NRA.
You could see it coming during the Klinton Years. I still say that GOA and the JFPOFO have more conviction than the NRA.
I am not a life member like libstripper, but I am currently a member with a 2 year agreement.
With the DISCLOSE ACT compromise, the NRA just lost me as re-upping member. And this puts icing on the cake.
Is there another 2nd amendment organization I can join?
Have they been killed off and somehow reborn and separated at birth with that other FAR LEFT LIB LOON OBAMA/DEMO-RAT-SUPPORTING Organization, the AARP?
Me, I'm canceling my Membership with a strong letter of condemnation.
Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership
Speaking of JPFO, I just noticed when looking at JPFO's website that they have their ''Gun Control'': Gateway to Tyranny available for sale at $19.95 at this webpage: http://shop.jpfo.org/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=24. This book demonstrates the strong links between Senator Dodd's GCA and the Nazi weapons law. Here's the introduction to the book:
Are you tired of being told that "gun control" is a chronic pain that you have to accept because there's no cure? Do you -- a law abiding person -- want to be free: to own whichever firearms you want to own, regardless of where in America you live; from waiting periods, gun bans, magazine capacity restrictions, etc.; to spend your time on the range or in the field, rather than fighting "gun control"?
Are you tired of giving hard earned bucks to efforts that have at best only slowed the gun grabbers' push toward firearms registration and confiscation? If you have had enough of death by a thousand cuts, you are ready to take action to wipe out "gun control" -- now.
Members of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) consider "gun control" to be an aggressive cancer. JPFO has a cure, a way to destroy "gun control". JPFO has hard evidence that shows that the Nazi Weapons Law (March 18, 1938) is the source of the U.S Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA '68). Adolph Hitler signed the Nazi Weapons Law. The Gestapo (Nazi National Secret Police) enforced it. In "Gun Control": Gateway to Tyranny we present the official German text of the Nazi Weapons Law and a side-by-side translation into English. Even more deadly: a side-by-side, section-by-section comparison of the GCA '68 with the Nazi Weapons Law. If you have this in your hands, no one can tell you that you're imagining things.
The clincher: JPFO knows who implanted into American law cancerous ideas from the Nazi Weapons Law.
The likely culprit is a former senator, now deceased. We have documentary proof -- see below -- that he had the original text of the Nazi Weapons Law in his possession 4 months before the bill that became GCA '68 was signed into law.
This former senator was a senior member of the U.S. team that helped to prosecute Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg, Germany, in 1945-46. That is probably where he found out about the Nazi Weapons Law. He may have gotten a copy of it then, or at a later date. We cannot imagine why any U.S. lawmaker would own original texts of Nazi laws. To find out his name, read on.
With this hard evidence in your hands and in your head, you can destroy cancerous "gun control". You can challenge anyone who backs "gun control". You can show them the Nazi ideas, line by line.
The parallels between the Nazi law and GCA '68 will leap at you from the page. For example, law abiding firearm owners in Illinois, Massachusetts and New Jersey must carry identification cards based on formats from the Nazi Weapons Law. Nazi based laws have no place in America. Thousands of Americans died or were wounded in the war to wipe out the Nazis. They did not suffer or die so that Hitler's ideas could live on in America and kill more Americans. Remember Killeen, Texas! The 23 who died in Luby's Cafeteria there died because they obeyed Nazi inspired "gun control" laws. The law forced them, unarmed, to face an armed madman.
To destroy "gun control" before more law abiding Americans are murdered by criminals or madmen helped by "gun control", you need to get hold of the evidence as presented in "Gun Control": Gateway to Tyranny. You can then challenge the media, the most aggressive backers of "gun control". Ask media personalities in your city or town why they back Nazi based laws. You can help to erase "gun control", Hitler's last legacy.
(You can find more of this intro as it appeared in "Guns and Ammo" back in 1993 at http://www.jpfo.org/filegen-a-m/GCA_68.htm.)
That is the plan
I have heard for years that the NRA was ultimately propped up by forces who wanted to create a weak organization to take up 2nd Amendment proponents and render the movement impotent.
The same guy was saying Greenpeace was ultimately funded similarly.
It makes people invest their money and passion in organization (or people in the case of politicians or talk shows) in something or someone that will not actually DO anything.
Looks like the NRA just proved this theory has some merit.
I wish I could remember the person saying all this...but he said it goes on all the time, and people would be surprised where the strings lead. Who knows..but if it is true the NRA is doing things like this...
Thanks for posting that. Have not gotten that e-mail yet from them. If this article is true, it would have really made me angry coming so close on the heels of the Disclose Act fiasco. I'm starting to think it's stretching the truth trying to create a circular firing squad.
The NRA is like the GOP.
We are stuck with it. Its the only game in town right now.
THe solution is to do what the Tea Party People are doing with the GOP. INFILTRATE IT.
If you are not a member, JOIN IT.
Then vote for people who will represent YOUR views on these subjects and vote to OUST the Libs.
I had just sent them money for the UN gun grab. Now I find out they support Reid, Kagan and the Disclose Act.
As my membership is coming due I will find another organization more in line with my thinking.
Wayne LaFooFoo and the Chris Cox, the Boy Blunder, have got to go.
Yes, because someone finally took a case to the supreme court and won! The NRA is scared to death of the court finally coming to its senses, and declaring that the 2nd amendment needs to be taken as seriously as the 1st. Their reason to exist will cease, and they'd have to go back to just doing finarms education.
Speaking of which, I heard the decision on the chicago case was supposed to be released by the court today.
Sounds like the NRA needs its own Tea Party. Clean house at the next convention, throw all the bums out and start over again, focusing on what matters instead of selling out to the power structure in Washington.
Just another demerit against the NRA; Not Really for America.
I would like to add that in the States that gained concealed carry the NRA was absent in most cases. The PEOPLE of each State did their own leg work and did great. I live in Colorado and many here were instrumental in 2nd amendment issues and without the NRA involved. We do not need the NRA selling out our rights just to give us scraps and then lay claim to feeding us. Exercising our rights to keep and bear arms is what works, not membership in some sort of political action group.
amazing...simply amazing. I ripped a flaming email off to them...
Yep, I think you're right. They get the exemption in exchange for tacitly endorsing Kagan. barf-o-rama.
How long ago was it that they sold their souls to the devil?
Seems like it happened right after the 08 election.
Yes...they are backing him in the election...
No...I wont be renewing my membership or my instructor certs..
The NRA has lost it!!
I am doing some research and will get back to you with the whole truth on this when I can.
as Reid will rubber stamp anything that zerObama wants, I cant see how the NRA can back him in the general.
like I said I have put out my feelers to Nevada members and will get back to you.
I'm personally planning to let my membership lapse when it comes up for renewal. I'm pretty much done with these people.
I've been a life member for many years. I have assumed (silly me) that the NRA leadership is still pro-gun, pro-Constitution, pro-conservative and pro- America, thus I have not been actively involved for some time in the inner-workings of the NRA; but, that's gonna change now.

There were 3 NRA guys standing out in front of the court too--and one of them told me we were making fools of ourselves. I didn't ask, but got the impression that they were some of the higher ups in the NRA, waiting for their turn to go in and listen for a few minutes to the proceedings.
Whatever--they were entitled to their opinion, but I thought they were a bit rude.
That's when I let my membership in the NRA lapse.
The NRA is going to start falling apart.
It has started falling apart.
For the nation's oldest and largest civil rights group to not take a strong stand against this radical anti-civil-rights activist is almost unbelievable.
This woman is not just hostile toward the Second Amendment. She is hostile toward the First Amendment, Ninth Amendment and Tenth Amendment as well.
Their position should e that this will be the only vote scored this year and a vote for this radical will be scored an F-.
The Second Amendment Sisters started right here on FR and grew from a core group of about 6 wonderful ladies into a national organization.
Every FReeper should be a member of SAS as well as being a member at least one other listed group.
You need to include LaPierre in that comment as well. Maybe Wayne can hold the door open for Chris to leave and then follow right out behind him.
It is amazing how some NRA members will defend anything the organization does.
They are prohibited from testifying about Second Amendment issues? Then what are they there for?

Like you, I too have been a Life Member for quite some time; several years ago I upgraded to Endowment class as well. Over the years, NRA's political pandering has grown steadily worse with the explanations becoming thinner and thinner. Today, on issues like DISCLOSE and Kagan, the NRA sounds more like Big Tent RINO Central (RNC) than a principal defender of the Second Amendment. Sadly, it is no longer possible to defend or explain away NRA's very serious and obvious political misadventures.
infiltrated by muslim terrorist enablers also. check out debbie schlussel's 8/7/2008 col. 'NRA had a spy in gun control group.....muslims had a spy in the nra'. this is the story that got the entire thing exposed on grover norquist's involvement as an agenda setter, lobbyist, fund raiser and overall heavy hitter for CAIR......(you read correct...CAIR, the muslim terrorist front group here in America). AND long time NRA BOARD MEMBER!!!!!!!!!! the NRA KNEW of his anti American activities for years and looked the other way. my funds go to the second amendment foundation, GOA local clubs now.
GOA, and local clubs...oops.
That's right. The NRA has done a great deal of good things. It's too valuable to let it go to the libs without a HUGE fight. IIRC the same problem occurred about 20 or 25 years ago when a bunch of libs penetrated it, there was a massive battle, and they were purged. We need to fight that battle again. The best first step is to refuse to make additional contributions, explaining exactly why in each case. If the DC Freepers and Tea Party people have some extra time, it would be well spent on a trip to NRA HQ to stage an angry Tea Party, possibly in conjunction with the August 28 Glen Beck demonstration or the 9/12 demonstration. Then, let's stage a real fight during the 2011 board elections and at the 2011 convention, which isn't that far off.
It's a great group. You'll be glad you joined. They've done a lot to educate women about guns, the Second Amendment, and self defense.
I've been a Life member for years...my wife dropped her yearly membership.
Be Ever Vigilant!
The NRA-PVF has not endorsed Senator Harry Reid. The NRA-PVF has not released ratings or endorsements for the Nevada Senate race at this point. Ratings and endorsements will be decided closer to the election. You can find our most recent ratings and endorsements at www.nrapvf.org.
In 2004, Senator Reids last election, the NRA-PVF did not endorse him and he received a B rating: www.nrapvf.org/ELECTIONS/State.aspx?y=2004&State=NV. NRA-PVF has not contributed to Sen. Reid for reelection in this election cycle. However, as Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Reid has proven himself to be a supporter of our Second Amendment rights.
Early last year, Sen. Reid flatly stated that he would oppose any effort to reinstate an assault weapons ban if the Senate were to vote on it in the future. And Sen. Reid was instrumental in Senate passage (and eventual enactment into law) of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which shut down reckless lawsuits against gun manufacturers and dealers, that attempted to hold them liable for the misuse of firearms by criminals. Sen. Reid also cosponsored S. 659 (PLCCA) in the 108th Congress and voted against poison pill amendments to it, including the Feinstein Amendment to ban so-called assault weapons, and the Kennedy Amendment that would have banned most hunting ammunition.
Sen. Reid voted for legislation that became law in 2006, to prohibit gun confiscation during states of emergency. He also voted for legislation to allow commercial airline pilots to be armed in the cockpit to protect their passengers and crew. In this congressional session, Sen. Reid voted for the Ensign Amendment to repeal the Washington D.C. gun ban and restore self-defense rights in our nations capital. He cosponsored similar legislation—S. 1414—in the 108th Congress. He also voted for an amendment to allow law-abiding citizens to carry firearms for self-defense in national parks and wildlife refuges. This federal policy change just took effect on February 22. In addition, Sen. Reid voted last year for the Thune-Vitter Amendment to provide national reciprocity for state Right-to-Carry permits. Sen. Reid also voted twice for the Wicker Amendment allowing Amtrak passengers to include firearms in their checked luggage. A vote on all of these amendments was made possible procedurally by Harry Reid in his capacity as Senate Majority Leader. Finally, Sen. Reid was among the 58 Senators who signed the pro-gun congressional amicus brief in the McDonald v. Chicago case, just argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on March 2, to decide whether the Second Amendment applies to states and localities.

There are a myriad of rumors regarding the NRA cluttering the internet but one in particular is causing me personal anguish. That rumor reports that the NRA staff has issued a gag order to the NRA Board of Directors regarding comments on the nomination of Elena Kagen to the Supreme Court. Let me explain something about the structure of the NRA; authority to do anything within the NRA comes from you the members of the NRA. That authority is delegated to your elected Board of Directors who in turn elects officers and formulate policy that is then issued to the Executive Vice President/CEO who then turns that policy into action through the professional staff. Gag orders for the Board of Directors do not exist.
Friends; those of you close to me should know by now that telling me I cant speak up on an issue of vital importance to the 2nd Amendment is going to get you into a war. I spoke vociferously regarding the nomination of Sonya Sotomayor to the Supreme Court; in fact I joined a number of national 2nd Amendment leaders protesting the appointment and urging through a nationally published letter she not be confirmed. I did that because of her ties to New York State and the position she took, on then recent, anti 2nd Amendment decisions. I have not taken a position on Elena Kagens nomination to the Supreme Court because I find it absurd that anyone with no judicial experience would be nominated to the Supreme Court and fervently hope the Republican Senators will block this nomination.
The 2nd Amendment protects all the rest. Why would the NRA, the protector of the 2nd Amendment, attempt to limit the 1st Amendment rights of its own Board of Directors? It does not but if you think the Board members you voted for could be gagged then you voted for the wrong guys.

None of us have been given instructions to not testify. There is a standing policy decided a long time ago by the Legislative Policy Committee and approved by the entire Board of Directors that matters such as this will be handled by the ILA division of NRA, but I don't view that as a "Gag Order". Having ILA handle matters this important just lends itself to good operations.

the anti NRA but Pro 2nd crowd is strong here at FR.
there job here it seems to lie, as often as possible and denigrate any pro NRA members by calling them Koolaid drinkers....
instead of working togehter , their job seems to be to destroy other pro 2nd organizations that are not the ones they belong to.
the NRA is the first and still the best.
lies are for cowards.
"I must reiterate what I have mentioned here before....the NRA is NOT a conservative or libertarian organization. It is a Pro 2nd amendment organization "
New stories indicating the NRA is going to endorse Harry Reid. NRA is all about keeping things the same with our gun rights at risk. That way they can continue to be relevant and raking in the donations.

Marketed as a Celtic-flavored pop band since their debut in 1995, the Dublin, Ireland natives' first two albums were actually made entirely in the USA. This time around they stayed home, and the result is a flowing, relaxed collection of songs that builds on and updates the foundation laid by countrymen such as Clannad.
The Celtic feel on most of the new songs is very subtle, and at times nonexistent. Producers Robert John "Mutt" Lange (Shania Twain, Backstreet Boys) and Mitchell Froom (Sheryl Crow, Los Lobos) have taken the family group's trademark vocal harmonies and drenched them in trip-hoppy beats and teen-pop synthetics. Various Corrs are credited with tin whistle, bodhran, and violin, but the only noticeably "Celtic" influence in the mix is the fiddle/violinand even that only sparingly. On the upbeat dance numbers like, "Give Me a Reason", this bolsters the band's previously thin-sounding pop, but the approach saps the slower numbers like "One Night", of everything but their overly sentimental core.
Lange's heavy hand is evident in Spice Girls-lite balladry like, "All the Love in the World", but thankfully they only let him get his hands on a few tracks. Froom emerges as a sympathetic partner for the band's post-Fleetwood Mac take on the boy-girl pop group vibe, though the band themselves had a hand in producing most of the album—a smart career move for artists whose sound is shaped so much by the recording studio. Throughout the new disc, the band's pretty folk-rock is repeatedly perched atop bubbly dance beats that recall Madonna's work with William Orbit, only Andrea Corr is nowhere near the sexually charged Material Girl when it comes to slyly sexy vocal come-hithers.
Where the band's most satisfying direction lies may be in the textured midtempo songs like "Say", which captures the sisters' sibling familiarity on a jaunty pop hook hanging somewhere between Olivia Newton John and Britpop faves like Oasis; or the perky, Mary Lou Lord with a fiddle sound of "At Your Side". It is here, where the dance beats take a back seat to the melody and the song is strong enough to withstand the breathy, compressed vocals, where they really hit on truly blue-eyed pop.

Alternative to rsync to send the most x recent podcasts from my home server to my phone, AND delete older podcasts (self.commandline)
submitted 3 years ago by rapidsalad
I was wondering if there is an alternative to rsync that can sync files by number in a folder, by date or some similar functions AND delete old files. I am a couple hours into making a custom script and I'm not a big fan of my own work so far.
My podcasts are organized in a folder called "podcasts" within subfolders by name of podcast. I only want to send the 2 most recent files to my phone on the network over ssh. I would also like to be able to limit the files to sync by date added, but its not completely necessary. I don't think this is possible using rsync since rsync can't delete old files or limit syncing by number of files.
Is there an alternative to rsync that can do what I want?

This is so much better than my attempt to do this that it makes me mad.
[–]Nesman64 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Maybe I'm missing something, or you like doing things the hard way (no shame in that) but have you tried a feed reader? It shouldn't be hard to set up an rss feed for your podcast folder and use any old podcast application on your phone.
I looked into this but didn't find a simple way to do it. The difficulty came in serving up the page without apache installed.

NFS mount
EDIT: Scripting is the best way to go IMO.
[–]sulami 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Yes, I would definetely go with scripting. If you name the files with timestamps, you should easily be able to select the two newest ones and send them to your phone. And deleting should be even easier.

Calling all divers! We're teaching a Shark Conservation Specialty course AT COST to help spread awareness of the threats these beautiful creatures face. I will give a two hour presentation on sharks: their unique features, the threats they face, the impact of a decline in numbers and how we can HELP. We will then go on two dives to look at sharks and the threats in this area.
The PADI Master Scuba Diver rating is the highest nonprofessional rating in the PADI system; it is a diver classification that denotes superior achievement. To attain this rating, a diver must be a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and PADI Rescue Diver (or hold qualifying certifications from another organization) with proof of 50 logged dives, and must hold certifications in any five PADI Specialty Courses.
The broadclub cuttlefish gathers in large numbers to spawn close to the Tip of Borneo during Dec to March. TRACC is hosting a series of volunteer diving expeditions to a variety of different reefs around the Tip of Borneo to experience this unique event.
Come join the Dive Utah team for a no-cost presentation on Shark Conservation. Why are sharks important to the oceans? What perils do they face? How can you help? Sharks have gotten a bad reputation courtesy of the media and entertainment industries. Find out the truth and learn how you can help!
This will include the knowledge development material from the PADI Shark Conservation Specialty Diver Course.
Results of our Ocean Action Project on the movement behavior of juvenile blacktip sharks will be presented to local authorities, the Galapagos National Park, the municipality and the general public at:

7150 TIE Fighter & Y-wing
Name: TIE Fighter & Y-wing
Theme: Star Wars Episode IV
Set Number: 7150
Pieces: 407
Year released: 1999
Minifigures: 3
Price: Can't remember, but $50.00 according to Peeron
This is one of my favourite OT sets. Love both the ships and and the figs. I don't have the other Y-Wing (#7658: Y-wing Starfighter) or #8017: Darth Vader's TIE Fighter so I can't compare this set to those two (they look good though).
Let's start with the instruction manual.
The minifig pages.
And a random page.
At the end of the manual there's a short comic.
The minifigs in this set are great: Darth Vader, a Y-Wing Pilot and an R5-D4 Astromech Droid.
This was the first set in which Darth Vader appeared and also the first one I got. I know have a couple of him. His cape is a bit tattered and folded because he has been sitting in his TIE for almost ten years now (!).
Without his helmet.
The Y-Wing Pilot is also a nice fig. Great torso and I like his face His helmet is also pretty awesome (good pic here: http://www.peeron.co...v/parts/x164px1).
The last fig is an R5-D4 Astromech Droid. He also appeared in a couple of other sets and I own three of him.
The one thing I hate about this set is that it's called 'TIE Fighter & Y-wing'. It's clearly not a TIE Fighter, but the TIE Advanced x1 (http://starwars.wiki...TIE_Advanced_x1). Oh well.
Vader presents his ship.
A look at the back.
And from the top...
...and bottom.
The 'wings' are connected by two pins.
You can change the wings from this...
...to this.
A close-up of the printed piece with the Imperial sign on it (it's on both wings).
The same piece is also on the top of the cockpit.
The cockpit opens up like this.
A look inside.
Darth Vader is ready to crush some Rebels.
There's not really any place for his lightsaber so I just placed it next to him.
The next ship is the Y-Wing.
Top and bottom.
Let's have a look at the cockpit.
It has a big gun on top which can swing in all directions.
The inside of the cockpit.
A look from the other side. The slope brick with the trench pattern is also available in a couple of other Star Wars sets.
Here is where you can place R5-D4.
The back can open up like this. There's nothing to put in though.
At the left and right side are two printed pieces.
In the middle of the ship is a place to store a container box. The door with the Rebel sign on it is a pretty rare piece.
A look at the engines of the Y-Wing.
They are connected by two pins each.
The landing gear which can be removed.
Luke is lying comfortably inside his cosy little cockpit. Yes, Luke. I put him in accidentally. So don't look for him because he is not included in this set
And of course R5-D4!
And to wrap things up, a look at the complete set.
Price: 9/10 - Pretty cheap in my opinion for two ships.
Parts: 8/10 - Lots of useful pieces and a couple of rare ones.
Playability: 9/10 - Two ships that can 'battle' with each other so that's good
Minifigs: 9/10 - All really good.
Final: 9/10 - Awesome set. Great ships and figs and doesn't cost that much (at least back in the day ).

text: Occupational Safety and Health Administration Westinghouse Faces Fines for Alleged Worker Safety Violations By Amy Quinton • Mar 2, 2012 A Westinghouse plant in Newington New Hampshire is facing $82,000 in fines for workplace safety violations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Westinghouse Electric for allegedly exposing workers to hexavalent chromium at its stainless steel component manufacturing facility in Newington. In response to a complaint, an OSHA inspection found that employees performing welding work were exposed to airborne concentrations of the carcinogen in excess of permissible limits. Hexavalent chromium can cause damage to eyes and skin upon contact.

I have thoroughly looked through this forum and I have not found a solution to this issue. When my app launches during the splash screen I want a 5 sec sound clip to play then stop when the app is done launching and the home screen is shown.
In the AppDelegate.m
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
NSURL *musicFile = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]
AVAudioPlayer *launchClip = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:musicFile error:nil];
[launchClip play];
Now I have a whole bunch of stuff loading within
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions this is just one of many things. The sound won't launch in the simulator nor will it launch on my phone. So am I missing something? Again it is a 5 second clip that I want to play when the app launches for the first time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

More Messages: Further Examination
At first blush, the classifiedad
recently posted on the Denver area ofCraigslist.com
seems pretty unexceptional. The main copy, which appears under the slug "Get Paid to Blog," reads: "Examiner.com, a progressive news and information website, is hiring professional bloggers. If you have an edgy, unique writing style that attracts and engages users, this is a great gig for you. Compensation is based on usage. For consideration, send your resume and URLs of your active blogs. We'll check them out — so you'll get at least one extra pageview just for applying."
An interesting offer -- but what it might portend is more intriguing. After all, Examiner.com is the online arm of Denver gazillionaire Phil Anschutz's Examiner newspaper project, which got its start in 2004, when Anschutz purchased the venerable San Francisco Examiner. Since then, Anschutz has launched Examiners in Washington D.C. and Baltimore as free, home-delivered daily newspapers.

Could Denver be next for a similar product? The city isn't the likeliest choice for such a launch, since it already has two daily newspapers, the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News, that remain viable, if not as profitable as they once were. (As noted in this article by the News' Roger Fillon, Scripps, the Rocky's parent company, lost $3 million bucks on the Denver tab during the second quarter of 2006.) Then again, Anschutz has trademarked the Examiner name here, as well as in more than sixty other cities, and Denver remains his hometown.
Besides, there's already a Denver page at Examiner.com; it's one of twenty cities without a print-edition Examiner to be so honored. There's not much local content yet; today's home page lists six top Colorado stories, all ripped from the Associated Press wire -- and one of them, about Governor Bill Owens signing an immigration bill, dates back to July 31. But the infrastructure is in place to do more with this page -- like, perhaps, add blogs specific to Denver.
It's impossible to know for certain what's next on the horizon, since Anschutz, despite owning a newspaper chain, is notoriously press shy. Still, the ad above is certainly worth further examination. -- Michael Roberts

I have a Toyota Tacoma pick-up and the headlights were beginning to oxidize pretty bad. I was at the dealer getting my oil changed when I inquired on the replacement price. I about fell over when they said $279.00 + tax (7%). I could not believe the headlights would be almost $600 to replace so I went online to www.Go-Parts.com and seen the same headlights for $50.00. I ordered one thinking I would take a chance and worried if I would be disappointed. They arrived quickly and to my surprise were exactly the same (minus the oxidation) and went in no problem. They even came with new bulbs already in them. I ordered the other headlight and had the same great experience. Go-Parts has exceeded my expectations in service, quality, and price. I recommend the site to everyone I know!

Price Quality Average: 5 / 5 starsI received my replacement passenger-side rear mirror in very good condition and in a timely manner but without directions. We were able to find directions on the computer. The mirror replacement was a little more difficult than anticipated because on the 2007 Toyota Rav4, the door panel had to be removed which took time. The problem came in that the original mirror's screws were coarse thread and the replacement mirror had fine threads. Also, the cord was much longer than necessary. Thank goodness, we had replacement screws at home that fit. The replacement mirror did look like the original mirror on the car. Just need someone to clean the driver's side so it will look nice and shiny!!by J.M.Gray

The currency of Andorra is the Euro. You can exchange money at most hotel receptions as well as being able to take money out of cash machines in the village, and even up on the mountain! Just watch out for the exchange rate at receptions though as they can be quite low! The closest banks can be found a 10-15 minute bus ride away in either Pas de la Casa or in Canillo.
Andorra is well known for its duty free shopping opportunities, the best place to take advantage of the bargains on offer is in the capital city of Andorra la Vella, which is within easy reach of both Soldeu and El Tarter, just a 30 minute bus ride away and with good public transport links is a relatively quick and easy trip to make.
However if your prefer not to venture out of the resort there are a few places you can indulge in a spot of retail therapy in and around Soldeu and El Tarter. Soldeu is home to a small selection of quality ski and snowboard shops where you can pick up everything you will need for a ski or snowboard trip. Esports Calbo (located within the main gondola building) is one of the larger sports shops in Soldeu with a good selection of clothing, equipment and gift ideas. It is also worth mentioning Slidewayz (great for snowboarders), Pic Negre and Esports Bonell which are all located on the main road running through the village and have an excellent and varied selection of ski and snowboard related goods.
There are a few small supermarkets in Soldeu, where you can pick up everyday groceries, postcards and gifts; these include Supermarket Post and Pirineu Supermarket both located on the main road "Carretera General".
Shopping in El Tarter is a little limited, however you do not have far to travel to Soldeu, Andorra la Vella or Pas de la Casa. In El Tarter you will be able to stock up on groceries at Supermarket Pirot located near Dylan's Bar.
On the main road just at the edge of El Tarter you will find Caves Manacor, a never ending store specialising in delicatessen products, cheeses and typical foods from the region which you can sample as you wander around the store, they also stock a large selection of liquors, cigarettes, household items and gifts. Just next door in the car park you will also find a perfumery.
The other alternative would be to take the 15 minute bus journey over to the neighbouring resort of Pas de la Casa which due to its location on the French border is famous for its large selection of shops specialising in duty free goods such as cigarettes, alcohol, perfumes and clothing. Find out more about Pas de la Casa by clicking here.
For more extensive shopping opportunities you might want to pay a visit to Andorra la Vella, the capital city. If you want to go, there are a couple of options:
Firstly is public transport. Buses depart from the main road through the villages of Soldeu & El Tarter, and pick you up on Av. Meritxell in Andorra la Vella for the return. See timetable below for further details.
Second option is a taxi. They work pretty much the same as anywhere else, hotel receptions will usually call one for you, or you can flag one down if you see one. The official price set by the government is €1.12 per km during the daytime (07:00 - 21:00) additional supplements apply at night, during public holidays, for journeys outside of Andorra and for large items of luggage. Taxis cannot be prebooked in Andorra, therefore you just have to wait for it to come.
Once you're there, you can expect to find a fantastic array of shops selling predominantly electrical goods, jewellery, perfume, alcohol, cigarettes and tobacco, all at duty free prices! Contrary to popular belief Andorra is not completely tax free, in 2007 a sales tax was introduced and this currently stands at 4.5%, however this is still very low and therefore prices generally remain much cheaper than most other parts of Western Europe. A top tip would be to do your homework before you go however, to make sure that you are getting a bargain!
The bus service to Andorra la Vella is operated by two companies - Hispano Andorrana and Cooperativa Interurbana Andorrana. It costs €3.30 one way from Soldeu and El Tarter to Andorra la Vella and the main line number is L3 (although you can also catch the L4 which runs less frequently). Tickets are bought in cash on the bus. The bus stops in Soldeu and El Tarter are on the main road. The bus stop to return is on Av. Mertixell in the centre of Andorra la Vella.

Was as I expected. Fair,

Pretty redundant in that it was not unlike other holocaust movies I have seen. Superficial character development.

Powerful story line but a little disjointed, especially because of the titles.
Quotes & Highlights
Learn more about Habermann at the film's website.
The film is prresented in Czech and German with English subtitles.
This heart-rending story attempts to atone for the Nazis disruption of 700 years of peace between Czech and German families in a Sudetenland village. German sawmill owner August Habermann is the major employer in his small hamlet. On his wedding day, the SS invades his village, and Nazi Major Koslowski and his soldiers insert themselves into the everyday lives of the townspeople, pitting them against each other. Ultimately, long-hidden family secrets are revealed.
