2010 Mitsubishi Outlander ProblemsErratic Blower Motor Operation Due to Failed Resistor and/or Fan Motor
Erratic HVAC blower motor operation may be caused by a failed blower motor and/or blower motor resistor. Our technicians tell us that if the blower motor resistor fails the blower motor should be checked. If the blower motor fails its functional test in should be replaced along with the failed blower motor resistor.
2010 Mitsubishi Outlander QuestionsMy engine cooling fans work when the a/c is engaged, but otherwise they won't (1 answer)
Could it be the thermostat or a sensor
This happened today, tried turning a/c off and back on, i can hear it click but nothing comes not, no air at all. It just suddenly stopped working while i was driving home. Any help would be much apreciated. Anything i can check myself?

After briefly trying a number of other slideshows, found this to be the easiest and most intuitive to use. Really nice admin interface, quick and easy to add slides, and can drag and drop them around to reorder.
Custom css very well integrated and flexible. About the only nitpit I'd have is that the title div is class "description" which is very common and picked up unintended styles from the theme (Suffusion) I'm using which I had to reset. Also the markup is placed after any containing element you may have put the slideshow shortcode in but all the slideshows seem to do this so maybe this is implementers not wanting to expose themselves to simple user errors.
If I'm still using it in a few weeks time I'll deffo donate a few quid. Ta!

Baritone Ukuleles
Baritone ukuleles are the big daddy of the ukulele family. They are the largest and lowest of all the ukuleles.
They are usually tuned DGBE from low to high - the same as the top four strings of a guitar. Because of this, they are popular with former guitar players and people who are planning on moving on to guitar.
Baritone ukuleles seem to be particularly popular with new folk acts such as Rio En Medio, Michael Leviton and Josephine Foster.

I have a bit of code that reads a directory for files to process. I currently use the dirent.h,opendir(),readdir() methods of doing this. I have been told that I need to do the same thing, only now it is a directory on a remote machine with SSH/SFTP access.
The only way (that I can think of) to do the same thing, without changing anything in the system except my source code, is to run a "ssh user@host ls" command, parse, and process based on the parsers results.
The real question here is, are there ways of doing opendir(), readdir() (or something similar) through SSH/SFTP?

Using Enthesis Robusticity to Infer Activity in the Past: A Review

In bioarchaeological studies, entheseal change is commonly used to infer patterns of activity in past populations. This category of skeletal modification includes both pathological changes (enthesopathies) and changes in size, shape and surface complexity (robusticity). Despite the recent impetus to reassess the use of enthesopathies as markers of activity, robusticity has received little critical attention. In this review, we reassess key assumptions that underpin the use of robusticity in activity studies, drawing on anatomical, physiological, biomechanical and sports medicine literature sources. We find that, whilst there is some evidence to support the assumption that variation in enthesis robusticity reflects different activity patterns, little is known about the process through which this variation is produced. Presently, the stimuli (dynamics of muscle use or muscle size) for entheseal adaptation are ill-defined, a situation that limits our interpretive abilities. Consideration of bone functional adaptation principles and of the relationship of entheses to soft tissue also highlights how other factors, such as age, sex and genetic background, may influence enthesis robusticity and obscure activity-related adaptation. Understanding how these factors influence enthesis robusticity helps define how robusticity studies should be controlled, but further research is required to clarify how these factors interact with activity in robusticity development and the precise relationship between activity and robusticity. Ultimately, this review emphasises the complexity of entheseal structures and their morphological development. Any interpretation of activity from enthesis robusticity should be approached with caution, but in some circumstances, the endeavour may be ill-advised.

Dynamic profile of health investment and the evolution of elderly health
A considerable number of studies have sought to examine the determinants of elderly health. Nevertheless, few of them incorporate a life-course perspective to analyze the dynamics of transition for both health conditions and their predictors. We utilize a nationally representative longitudinal data set of 4007 Taiwanese aged 60 or over and employ discrete-time duration models to investigate the association between annual mortality and its potential risk factors over a nearly twenty-year period (1989–2007). We place particular emphasis on the inherently dynamic character of Grossman's model, and specifically on how public and private health investment shape the personal health outcome over time. Our results support the hypothesis that depreciation rates depend on personal characteristics. In addition, we find that the dynamic profiles of both public and private health investment significantly influence the elderly mortality. An important implication of our study is that implementing universal health insurance and tobacco control programs are effective channels through which the government improves personal health.

In this May 25, 2012 photo, newborn babies lie swaddled in fabric on a tabletop in the delivery room, at the regional hospital in Gabu, Guinea-Bissau. In Guinea-Bissau, one of the deadliest places in the world to give birth, a woman has a 1 in 19 chance of maternal death, compared to about 1 in 2,100 in the United States. Experts say women are increasingly heading to medical centers when things go awry, but logistical, financial, and cultural barriers are still keeping many pregnant women from seeking help in time.

Former Cheney Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was found guilty today on four out of five counts, including perjury and obstruction of justice. Sentencing is scheduled for June, though Libby has indicated he will pursue a new trial or an appeal.
U.S. News media correspondent Liz Halloran was at the federal courthouse in Washington for the verdict and has this to report: "They tell me it's nothing compared with the Clinton days, but the courtroom was full, and the full Washington media horde was out in force. Libby doesn't have a celebrity profile -- chief of staff to the vice president is not that sexy -- so there wasn't the usual gathering of curious onlookers looking to glimpse someone famous."
Halloran was also present for the statement of juror Denis Collins, who spoke to reporters after the verdict was announced. Collins said jurors had sympathy for Libby but that in the end they just didn't buy his faulty-memory defense. From the testimony, the jurors documented nine separate times that witnesses said Libby had learned of Valerie Plame Wilson and her job at the CIA.
"There was a tremendous amount of sympathy for Mr. Libby," he said. Some jurors asked, "Where's [Bush aide Karl] Rove? Where are these other guys?' He was the fall guy."
But the for matter-of fact jurors, who spent a week mapping out testimony on each of the five charges before starting to make their decisions, that was not a defense.

No child chooses to be a prostitute. No 11 year old girl spreads out her Barbies on her bed on a rainy Saturday afternoon to play "hooker and john." No teenage girl doodles her way through geometry class, dreaming about hitting the streets to have sex with a dozen nameless men that night.
"Child prostitute?" There is no such thing. Let's banish the phrase, call it slavery and work to solve the issue. Because stories like Tami's and Sandra's are too common, too horrific, and too real:
A pimp kidnapped Tami on her way home from school in Los Angeles. He held her captive for six months, raping, beating and starving her. At night, he sold Tami for sex with other men. Tami tried to escape by telling every john who purchased her that she was only a kid. For months, Tami pleaded with her buyers: "I'm only 15. Can you please take me to a police station?" But none did. When she finally encountered police officers, they did not rescue her; they arrested her…Sandra ran away from an abusive foster care home in Florida at 12. She was found at a bus stop by a pimp who promised to love and care for her forever. He sold her to at least seven men a night. Finally she, too, was arrested, for child prostitution.

I'm trying to figure out how to give 16 different divs the id names that are stored in a 16 elements long array.
This is so that I can randomize the divs "placement" for a memory game, since there will be 8 different div styles that will change along with the div id if that is possible.
My plan is to have the same name for the div id as for the style for that specific div.
Is there any way to set the first div's id and style as the value in myarray[0], and the second div's id and style as myarray[1], and so on?
var card = ["orange","orange","pink","pink","red","red","purple","purple",
for(var j, x, i = card.length; i; j = parseInt(Math.random() * i),
x = card[--i], card[i] = card[j], card[j] = x);

John* can't remember the names of all the medications he takes—there are just too many. In the morning, nurses watch him swallow 10 pills and give him an injection, and in the evening, they stop by with another two tablets. The regimen is tiresome, says John, but he is sick and has no other options. John is a multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patient at Kibo'ngoto National TB Hospital in Tanzania, one of few local facilities equipped to handle TB patients that have grown resistant two or more of the four drugs that comprise the standard treatment for TB.
John is only partially through his expected six-month stay at Kibo'ngoto, but even when he returns home, many more months of daily treatment await. John says it's easy for patients to become depressed and despondent—and give up hope that they will ever get better.

Chiefland Police Capt. Ray Tremblay was heading into Chiefland from Fanning Springs on U.S. Highway 19 Saturday shortly before 10 p.m. to work a second job when a gray 2016 Hyundai Elantra with five occupants blew by him.
Tremblay alerted officers on duty and started pursuing the vehicle as it headed into town at speeds that reached 105 mph.
Tremblay said in a phone interview on Monday that traffic was "kinda light" in Chiefland at the time.
The former office manager of the Levy County Extension Office was arrested on April 14 in Marion County and charged with misuse of a county-issued credit card in purchasing $7,700 in merchandise for herself.
But that arrest is not the end of the case as there is an investigation under way by the University of Florida IFAS Extension Service program into the finances at the Levy Office that is jointly operated by the county and UF.
Lacy Shae Harris, 26, of Ocala was booked into the Marion County Jail and released on $30,000 bond.
Owners of noisy animals in the city could face warnings and a court summons that carries a fine up to $300 if they are visited multiple times by Chiefland Police Department officers under a new ordinance adopted by the City Commission on Monday.
The ordinance, which goes into effect immediately was adopted unanimously after a discussion on whether multiple visits on the same day could trigger and summons and fine.
City Manager Mary Ellzey said the city will not be proactive in enforcing the ordinance, reacting to complaints only.
One of the developers of a 450-space RV resort says he is ready to begin construction of the $4 million-plus project that is expected to bring 30-35 jobs to the area. And that later will bring tourists and their business.
Tommy Miles, co-developer with Lois Livingston, of the Chiefland RV Resort, was in the audience when the Chiefland City Commission unanimously approved the final plans for the construction and an agreement on the infrastructure for underground utilities running along Suwannee Drive to the resort.
UPDATE: The Chiefland Lady Indians 1A state softball semifinal game against Franklin has been postponed from Wednesday, May 4, to Thursday, May 5, at 8:35 a.m. due to thunderstorms in the Vero Beach area.

A client recently purchased a second hand computer which had been wiped by the previous owner, an Acer Aspire desktop. The way it was wiped effectively just left a version of Windows 7 that was 'unusable' I think the person who did the wipe just reinstalled Win7 leaving us unable to login or do anything really.
I obtained Win 7 Home Prem and reinstalled Windows myself today, however the major Acer drivers are missing, including the network driver. Which means I cannot connect to the network/internet.
I went to Acers website and downloaded a utility (on another computer and transferred it to a USB drive) however when running it, it requires a network connection to download the driver. Catch 22!
I'm at a loss as what to do next. I cannot find a standalone network driver for the Acer Aspire.
I'm considering getting a Wireless USB stick, the client has a wireless network, so that I can connect that way, however I'm not sure if the wireless sticks use the internal network drivers at all. Is this feasible, do you think?
That's all I can think of doing at the moment.
Any other advice would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Sur La Table's resident chef Joel Gamoran prepares three dishes, made with fresh, natural ingredients, that pair perfectly with fine wine. Here, he makes rosemary and lavender-rubbed flank steak, a goat cheese, fresh thyme and olive-topped flatbread, and a blackberry and balsamic crostata.
- 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, plus whole sprigs for garnish
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender
- 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 1⁄2 pounds flank steak, trimmed
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 fresh lemon
Baking Directions:
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees, and position an oven rack in the center. Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat. Use a pestle and mortar to crush the rosemary, lavender, herbs de Provence and lemon zest. Add the oil to the mortar and mix until combined with the herb mixture. Place the flank steak in a shallow non-reactive dish and, using a paring knife, make 1/4-inch slits in the flesh and then pour the marinade over. Turn the steak to thoroughly coat both sides, pressing the spices onto the steak. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes. Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan, heat through until the oil is shimmering. Remove the steak from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Place the steak on the prepared grill pan and cook 2 to 3 per side or until you can see grill marks on both sides. Take the steak off the grill and place onto the baking pan in the oven. Bake the flank steak until desired doneness, until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees, about 8 to 10 minutes.Transfer the steak to a cutting board, tent with aluminum foil; allow to rest for at least 5 to 10 minutes. To serve: Slice the meat against the grain; squeeze fresh lemon over the top and serve now or later. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse bread until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a medium bowl; add ground beef and ground pork.Place onion, garlic, celery, carrots and parsley in food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Add to beef mixture; combine using your hands. Add egg, 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 teaspoons dry mustard, salt and pepper; combine thoroughly, using your hands. Place in an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pan.In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup and 2 teaspoons dry mustard, and the brown sugar; stir until smooth.Brush mixture over top of the meatloaf. Place the pan on a baking sheet to catch drippings, and transfer to oven. Bake until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 160 degrees, about 1 1/2 hours. (If the top of the meatloaf gets too dark, cover with foil and continue baking.) Let meatloaf stand 15 minutes before slicing.
- 1/2 recipe Pizza Dough (recipe follows)
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
- 2/3 cup pitted Niçoise olives, roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, for garnish
- Zest of 1 orange, for garnish
- Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the dough:
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast or 1 3/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 cup (8 ounces) water
- 3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) olive oil, plus 2 teaspoons for coating bowl
- 3 1/4 cups (16 1/4 ounces) bread flour or unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Baking Directions:
Place a pizza stone in the oven. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Allow 30 minutes to 1 hour for the stone to fully heat.Place the dough (see below) on a sheet of parchment paper cut to fit the pizza stone. Dust the top of the dough lightly with flour, then press down with your fingers or a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a disk about 12 inches in diameter directly on the parchment paper. Brush any excess flour from the surface of the dough.Set the dough round on the parchment paper in the center of a pizza peel or rimless baking sheet. Brush the 1/4 cup olive oil over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the edges. Scatter the goat cheese and olives over the dough.Open the oven door and set the front edge of the peel or baking sheet at the back of the baking stone. With a quick jerk, remove the peel and allow the flatbread and parchment paper to settle on the stone. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, until the dough is golden brown at the edges and across the bottom, rotating the flatbread and parchment paper to brown evenly. Slip the peel or baking sheet under the parchment paper to remove it from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Brush the edge of the flatbread with the tablespoon of olive oil to give the golden crust a shine. To serve, garnish pizza with fresh thyme leaves and orange zest. Season with coarse salt and pepper. Use a pizza cutter or chef's knife to cut the pizza into 8 wedges and serve immediately.For pizza dough:To prepare the dough, pour the warm water into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the yeast, whisk by hand to blend and allow the mixture to sit for 5 to 10 minutes until the yeast is activated and looks creamy. Add the 1 cup water and the 3 tablespoons olive oil and whisk by hand to blend. Add the flour and salt. Knead the dough on low speed for 2 minutes or until the dough comes together in a cohesive mass. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp, lint-free cotton towel and let the dough rest for 20 minutes to allow it to fully hydrate before further kneading. Turn the mixer to medium-low and continue to knead until the dough is firm, elastic and smooth, 3 to 6 minutes.Lightly oil a large mixing bowl and scrape the dough into the bowl, turning to lightly coat the surface of the dough with a little oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature until doubled, about 45 to 60 minutes.Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Press down on the dough firmly to expel some of the air bubbles, but don't knead the dough again or it will be too springy and difficult to shape. If this happens, cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp, lint-free cotton towel and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes to give the gluten time to relax. Divide the dough in half, or quarters if making smaller individual pizzas. At this point, you can refrigerate or freeze all or some of the dough for later use.
To save time, you can buy the pizza dough
- 1 flaky pie dough or tart dough
- 1 to 1/2 pounds fresh blackberries, picked over
- 1/3 cup (2 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar, plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar (or 1 teaspoon turbinado or sanding sugar) for sprinkling
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) unsalted butter, melted
- Balsamic vinegar, for serving
Baking Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place a rack in the lower third. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Remove dough from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before you are ready to roll it out, so it can soften slightly. Generously flour a work surface, and place the chilled dough disk on the flour. Dust the top of the dough with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll chilled dough into a circle, turning and flipping the dough as needed with a bench scraper to prevent sticking, until the circle measures 14 inches wide and 1/8 inch thick. Starting at one edge, roll the dough around the rolling pin and transfer to baking sheet. Chill for 1 hour.Place blackberries in a medium mixing bowl and sprinkle 1/3 cup sugar, flour and lemon juice over the top. Using your hands, gently toss the fruit until it is evenly coated. Mound the fruit in the center of the chilled dough round, leaving a 1-1/2 inch border at the edge. Fold the border up around the fruit, pleating it to make a pretty, circular enclosure and leaving the center open. Brush the top of the pleated dough with melted butter and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar.Place crostata in preheated oven and bake until crust is deep golden brown and fruit is juicy and bubbling, about 40 to 45 minutes. Use a metal spatula to lift the crostata slightly and check the underside of the crust, which should be a beautiful brown color. Transfer to a rack to cool for 15 minutes. To serve, transfer the crostata to a serving plate. Drizzle with about 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. Slice and serve warm.

Research Institution:
AbstractBuilding upon a well established wave-optics propagation code, we propose to develop a generalized and sophisticated beam-control simulation tool that will predict the performance of a High-Energy Laser (HEL) beam-control system for ship self-defense.During Phase I, we propose to add to the existing code a number of features specific to the ship self-defense problem. These features include:(1) Modeling of near-sea-level atmospheric turbulence.(2) Incorporation of certain optical attenuation and scattering information.(3) Tailoring and exploration of an existing thermal blooming capability.(4) Incorporation of simple target models for targets of interest to shipboard HELs.We propose the use of WaveTrain, a wave-optics simulation tool developed by MZA principally in support of the Air Force's Airborne Laser Program. The basic code is already well developed, but requires additional features specific to the marine environment.We also propose a Phase I Option. During the option period, the objective will be to begin the construction and initial exercise of a prototype system model for overall performance prediction for a shipboard HEL system. This would provide a transition toa Phase II effort, during which we envision a broad elaboration of the prototype system model, incorporation and/or improvements of individual component models, and the exercise of the enhanced system model over a significant range of ship self-defenseengagement scenarios. BENEFITS TO THE NAVY: When we complete our proposed work, the ship-board-HEL research community will have its disposal powerful simulation and analysis capabilities which will assist in the design, implementation, and diagnosis of candidate designs andfielded systems. Users will be able to initially evaluate beam control concepts using inexpensive simulations rather than field experiments. Naturally, final real-world confirmation will always be required, but our project will directly assist inreducing the cost, development time, and risk of fielding proposed HEL weapons systems. These reductions in required research and development resources will allow the war fighter to receive more effective weapons in a more timely manner.POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS:Potential commercial applications of the adaptive-optics type of beam-control technology exist in at least three sectors. First, some wavefront-sensing and beam-control techniques are beginning to be used in ophthalmology, particularly in conjunction withlaser eye surgery. Second, propagation through atmospheric turbulence is involved in the design and construction of

I want to create a truecrypt container using ext4 in a linux server. I also want to access the truecrypt volume over the network from a windows desktop.
The docs mention something about having to mount the encrypted container (as read-only), but if the container is in ext4, will windows be able to recognize the ext4 volume? I know linux can recognize windows filesystem, but the reverse is not true without some ugly hack.
Would using a TC FAT container be the only way to do this?

TLM has been dying ever since it was forced to sell its fantastic Sudan project by the self-righteous churches and other equally misguided pinheads. That sale not only accomplished no "greater good" whatsoever, it forced TLM to redeploy capital into poorly-understood, high-risk areas much too quickly, and an extended period of costly exploration failure was the result. Columbia was one of them.
With an asset like Sudan in this oil price environment, TLM would have been fine, and it would not have been compelled to make such rash strategic moves. In fact, it could very easily been an acquiror of other distressed assets...what if.
A year ago, China bought Nexen, after allowing the Canadian government to screw around with it. They've regretted it every moment since, and other players took note. The environment for big, complex energy acquisitions remains comatose.
So thanks, church hypocrites. You enjoyed your 15 minutes of fame, you ultimately did no one in Sudanmuch more harm than good, you instigated the downfall of a very valuable, well-run, ethical company, and you skulked away back into the shadows without having to answer for it since. A perfect, arrogantly stupid grift.
Oh look...Sudan is a tinderbox on the verge of exploding into civil war all over again. But how could that be? Driving Talisman out of there was supposed to make everything gum drops and rainbows, wasn't it?

The distributed system is becoming increasingly popular, and this produces the need for more sophisticated distributed control techniques. The authors present a method for distributed control using simple finite state automata. Each of the distributed entities is `controlled' by its associated automaton, in the sense that the entity examines the state of the automaton to determine its behavior. The result of the collective behavior of all of the entities is fed back to the automata, which change their state as a result of this feedback. They give a new method of analysis which derives the steady state behavior of this system as a whole, by decomposing it into two parts: describing and solving an imbedding auxiliary Markov chain, and analyzing the behavior of the system within each of the states of this auxiliary chain

A facial-themed video as the title implies, Head Nurse nonetheless features a pair of solid scenes from Alexandra Silk and a blonde Nikki Sinn. Silk goes on a housecall to care for Guy DiSilva. The roles are reversed, however, when DiSilva gives Silk a proctology exam. He literally explodes on her cute mug. Sinn's romp with Dave Hardman, featuring assplay as well, is top notch as expected.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (September 6, 2013)--Four people were shot and wounded Thursday night when gunfire broke out at an anti-violence vigil in Charlotte, N.C., police said.
Mothers of Murdered Offspring sponsored the vigil Thursday night to call attention to the death of a man who police say was shot and killed as he tried to rob a convenience store.
During the vigil, someone pulled out a gun and opened fire, a police statement said.
When officers arrived, they found that most people had fled, and there were no shooting victims, but they later police learned there were four victims, each of whom called 911 from a different location.
Police have made no arrests.

AbstractThe prevailing approach to non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of aircraft components is to set an inspection schedule based on what is generally known about the component in question. Engineers perform tests on samples, get field reports, and include a safety factor based on criticality. Then, when the schedule dictates, the component is inspected and a binary decision is made: Back in service? Or retooled/scrapped? Unfortunately, this approach throws away much of the useful information that can be gathered from non-destructive evaluation. When a component is inspected, a detailed picture of the current health of the component is generated. However, the engineer would have to characterize and integrate the flaw data into the CAD model of the component for this information to be useful for predictive modeling. This is a time-consuming process, especially considering the sheer number of aircraft components inspected each year. Cybernet Systems is uniquely positioned to solve this problem, possessing the multi-disciplinary experience necessary to do so. We propose to leverage our experience with Sikorsky's inspection process, as well as our work in the fields of motion tracking and position/orientation determination for augmented reality, to design and build a system that is able to determine component orientation, track sensor head position/orientation, quantify sensor data, and update the component CAD model to represent the results of the non-destructive evaluation

I took lessons for 9 years as a kid and forgot a lot of shit, actually pretty sad. Now, I remember chords, inversions, and picked up a sound for music though. My advice would be to just learn simple chords and you'll grow from there. Check and see if youtube has tutorials for some of your favorite tracks; that's always pretty fun. I used to try and learn songs from like N.E.R.D. and Outkast in high school. Pretty cool

2008 Adventures in Race Relations with Mitt Romney
posted by January 21 at 14:56 PMon
First, there's this (via Andrew Sullivan):
Governor Romney paid tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. when speaking to a group of employees at Gate Petroleum today and then shook hands and posed for photos with African-American families at a parade.
The presidential hopeful met a friendly crowd at the Martin Luther King, Jr. parade here. The former Massachusetts governor often runs back and forth across streets during parades to greet people and today was no exception. He shook hands with ROTC members, tiny beauty queens, police officers and many parade-goers, including children screaming his name. He jumped off the Mitt Mobile to greet a waiting crowd, took a picture with some kids and young adults and awkwardly quipped, Who let the dogs out? Who who.
He took pictures with many in the crowd and greeted one baby wearing a necklace saying, Hey buddy! Hows it going? Whats happening? You got some bling bling here!
And then there's this:
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has released a new Spanish-language campaign ad in Florida entitled Mi Padre (My Father), featuring Romneys son, Craig. Craig encourages voters to get to know my father, Mitt Romney. Romney himself then chimes in with: Soy Mitt Romney y apruebo este mensaje (Im Mitt Romney and I approved this message).
Think Progress, which also has video of the ad, points out:
Its interesting that Romney is so interested in reaching out to Latino voters in Spanish. In the past, he has been stridently English-only:
English needs to be the language that is spoken in America. We cannot be a bilingual nation like Canada."
You strengthen the American people by securing our borders and by insisting that the children who come legally to this land are taught in English.
Ah, but that was before Florida was so important to your campaign, Mitt.

An interview with Logan Lerman and Sarah Gadon, the stars of James Schamus' "Indignation."
"Shanghai Knights" has a nice mix of calculation and relaxed goofiness, and in Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson, once again teams up two playful actors who manifestly enjoy playing their ridiculous roles. The world of the action comedy is fraught with failure, still more so the period-Western-kung fu comedy, but here is a movie, like its predecessor "Shanghai Noon" (2000), that bounds from one gag to another like an eager puppy.
The movie opens with the obligatory action prologue required in the Screenwriter's Code: The Great Seal of China is stolen by sinister intruders, and its guardian killed. The guardian of course is the father of Chon Wang (Jackie Chan), who, as we join him after the titles, is sheriff of Carson City, Nevada, and busy ticking off the names of the bad guys he has apprehended. Hearing of the tragedy from his beautiful sister Chon Lin (Fann Wong), Wang hurries to New York to join up with his old comrade in arms Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson).
The movie's plot is entirely arbitrary. Nothing has to happen in Nevada, New York or its ultimate location, London, although I suppose the setup does need to be in China. Every new scene simply establishes the setting for comedy, martial arts, or both. Because the comedy is fun in a broad, genial way, and because Chan and his co-stars (including Fann Wong) are martial-arts adepts, and because the director, David Dobkin, keeps the picture filled with energy and goodwill, the movie is just the sort of mindless entertainment we're ready for after all of December's distinguished and significant Oscar finalists.
The plot moves to London because, I think, that's where the Great Seal and the evil plotters are, and even more because it needs fresh locations to distinguish the movie from its predecessor. The filmmakers click off locations like Sheriff Chan checking off the bad guys: The House of Lords, Buckingham Palace (fun with the poker-faced guards), Whitechapel and an encounter with Jack the Ripper, Big Ben (homage to Harold Lloyd), Madame Tussaud's. Charlie Chaplin and Arthur Conan Doyle make surprise appearances, surprises I will not spoil.
For Jackie Chan, "Shanghai Knights" is a comeback after the dismal "The Tuxedo" (2002), a movie that made the incalculable error of depriving him of his martial-arts skills and making him the captive of a cybernetic suit. Chan's character flip-flopped across the screen in computer-generated action, which is exactly what we don't want in a Jackie Chan movie. The whole point is that he does his own stunts, and the audience knows it.
They know it, among other reasons, because over the closing credits there are always outtakes in which Chan and his co-stars miss cues, fall wrong, get banged and bounced on assorted body parts, and break up laughing. The outtakes are particularly good this time, even though I cannot help suspecting (unfairly, maybe) that some of them are just as staged as the rest of the movie.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

We are located on Main Street in the Village of Cambridge. Our little hamlet has long been known as a center for artisan crafts and especially, pottery. Over the past 2 years Dane County and a group of volunteers have poured money and time into creating a fantastic trail system that offers cross country skiing, snowshoeing (off-trail) and double track, hard pack bike trails.
The most unique feature of the trail system, however, is the incredible single-track mountain bike trail. This trail offers some easier riding but includes miles of challenging and even expert level riding. There are some awesome terrain features and a vast array of challenging obstacles.
In addition, CamRock Café & Sport sits along the shoreline of the Koshkonong Creek offering some scenic, casual wilderness paddling.
All of these activities are located right out the back door of our shop and all of the charm and shopping that Cambridge has to offer is located smack dab in front of our shop.
We offer comfortable seating around a beautiful stone fireplace as well as an outdoor patio to enjoy some wine, beer or any of our tasty food offerings. We hope you will start and end your trip to Cambridge at the CamRock Café & Sport!

Michael Schumacher F1 neck injury fears | Formula 1 legend Schumi calls off comeback
Michael Schumacher has called off his shock F1 comeback amid concerns over a neck injury.
The motor racing legend wrote on his homepage: "Yesterday evening, I had to inform Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo and Team Principal Stefano Domenicali that unfortunately I'm not able to step in for Felipe.
"I really tried everything to make that temporary comeback possible, however, much to my regret it didn't work out.
"Unfortunately we did not manage to get a grip on the pain in the neck which occurred after the private F1 day in Mugello, even if medically or therapeutically we tried everything possible."
He will no longer replace the injured Felipe Massa at the European Grand Prix in Valencia. Test driver Luca Badoer (38) will now get the chance to fill his boots.
Schumacher said a neck injury was the main cause of his pulling out: "The consequences of the injuries caused by the bike accident in February, fractures in the area of head and neck, unfortunately have turned out to be still too severe."
He fractured his skull in the accident and he has been forced to admit that the injuries sustained were more severe than he had intially let on.
"My neck cannot stand the extreme stresses caused by Formula 1 yet. This are [sic] the clear results of the examinations we did on the course of the past two weeks and the final examination yesterday afternoon.
"As there were no improvements after the day in Mugello, I decided at short notice on Sunday to do that thorough examination already yesterday."
The news will shock and disappoint Formula 1 fans across the world, and not least Schumi himself: "I am disappointed to the core.
"I am awfully sorry for the guys of Ferrari and for all the fans which crossed fingers for me. I can only repeat that I tried everything that was within my power.
"All I can do now is to keep my fingers crossed for the whole team for the coming races."
His brother Ralf Schumacher is also disappointed. He told BILD: "It is of course a great shame, but if Michael and the doctors make the decision it is the right decision.
"If something had happened the risk would have been much greater. Fractures in the vertebrate are not something to be dismissed lightly."
