I have a VO 5630 for sale on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1320277420&r=0&t=0&showTutorial=0&ed=1011480674&indexURL=0&rd=1 Hi, We have a shed load of used (10BRS) Umatic tapes here that we want to get rid of. If anyone is interested then they would need to come and collect them from Kentish Town in London NW5. Cheers. I have a number of Sony VP5040 going very cheap - �15.00. Any takers please email. Dave. It is possible that this is the wear on the reel "bearings" I talked about. Supply the reel axles with a SMALL! drop of thin oil and see if the noise disappears. Sometimes it takes time for the oil to work. Beppe. When you want to replace the upper drum in the 9600P, you need a micro checker. This is a test jig for measuring eccentricity of the upper drum. The drum eccentricity should not exceed 4 micrometers. Preferably less than 2 micrometers. When you are able to get the drum within 4 micrometer, you should re-aligne sections of the video and servo circuitry with an (expensive) alignment tape. It will work without re-aligning the video and servo, but than you won't get maximum performance. Hello everybodyI am located in a very small island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. I have a Sony VO-9600 P and the head is just gone. Can anybody please advise me on the difficulty of replacing it? Basically if it is possible to do it here with very basic instrument or it is necessary to do some alignment or such, in which case I will be forced to take the whole machine to Singapore or Europe. Also please, if it posssible to do it here, any web site that will allow me to order the head by paying with C/card and receive it by DHL or such??Thanks. Regards Beppe Rein, thanks! BTW: with my 5850 sometimes when rewinding there is a "godawful" noise, quite loud...I think this only occurs when rewinding the small-format tapes, so do you think this is the tape cassette making the noise or?? dave I always thought that the SP tapes were better polished. (Less noise and drop outs). I am not sure. Anyway, you can use them without any problems on a low-band VCR. If you have a back-tension meter (expensive) you could measure the different tape qualities. Yank, I know what you mean. It is unbelievable that modern VCR's can be so reliable. But when I look at the tape path of some modern low cost VCR it surprises me sometimes that the tape doesn't get damaged. You're not supposed to repair VCR's like that. By the way, if you have a VO-9800/50, oil the take-up and supply-reel with a little drop of oil on the axles. They tend to wear out (plastic bearings!) and than start to make noise when winding or rewinding. If they make noise, you may be too late and need to replace the reels. Still I think the VO-9800/50 can be a reliable machine. (Make sure there is proper ventilation. Cap's can dry out!) Rein, Hi, I havent been on the board here for quite sometime with moving my place of residence and the holidays and all. I have an easy question for you concerning Umatic tape. I came across some SP and XBR tapes and wanted to know if its safe (or Not) to use them with lo-band gear (BVU-110, NV-9450, and series 5 machines). I know that the XBRs are designed for the BVU-800s etc, and SP for SP machines but is this tape too abrasive on regular low-band heads? Thanks for your answer, I could not find this amount of detail on the U-site. Dave Many thanks for the info Rein ! It calms me down to hear that at least one of my VTRs is a real professional (albeit when I compare prices - as the VTRs were new - for that amount other companies provided the same for a *lot* less ). I didn't peek inside the BVU -950 yet, just inside my 9850 & 8800 - since I've heard the same "clamping" when changing directions - or from still to play-mode, I assumed the 950 would be the same. The only thing I've realised is that it appears to brake the tape a bit "smoother" - and the mechanism appears to react a bit more "intelligent" overall..I'm happy to posess at least one umatic as well build as my "pro"-VHS's. Hearing such terms like "idler" and "brake-band" gives me wrinkles :). I've today repaired a Goldstar (no-name) VTR for my mother - being surrounded by pro-VTRs at home it always creeps me out - how horribly build a consumer VTR really is (nowadays). Hi Jank. The Sony BVU -950 is a direct drive VCR and this used to be a broadcast SP machine (Broadcast Version U-Matic). The only belts used are for loading the cassette tape and lacing it in. The VO-9850 uses one motor for supply and take-up reel with a brake band for the back-tension and a belt with idler for driving the reels. The BVU -950 is older but one step up in quality from the VO-9850 (broadcast/professional). The JVC VCR's I know are the CP-5550, CR-6650, CR-8250 and PR-900. They all use direct drive mechanism. The CP and CR machines are top loader LO-band and the PR-900 is front loader HI-band. Is a JVC PR-8800E a Hi-Band U-Matic (or Lo-Band) ? I know it's a top loader and so far as I've seen all JVC PR machines are Hi-Band. So is this JVCs version of the top loading BVU200 ? Thanks, Keith. Ok folks - as far as I can see, some of you have experience with non-Sony-Umatics, so I'd be glad if someone could answer me a question that's bugging me for some time now. As far as I've heard, especially the JVC's (albeit most of them toploaders) have a very good build quality -I got my hands on a Sony 9850 & 950. Both apparently aren't completely direct-driven -> they have redundant & critical mechanical parts. Q: Are there any Umatics, that came with a completely direct-driven mechanism ? (Any of those SP capable ?) - I heard there are HB's from JVC, but never heard of some SP's despite of Sony-made Ampex models. I'd really appreciate to see a well manufactured SP. And, as usual - thanks in advance.- JanK I have a Sony VO-2630 machine plus a tape that I no longer use. If anyone is interested in it please email me and make me an offer. I'm almost giving it away to a good home - it takes up too much room in our cramped house! Hi Keith, I have a full VO-2630 in working order you can have if you likeI also have a pair of 2 series edit decks and a RM-400 edit control with cables up for grabs if anyone is interested. Cheers, Brett >Does anyone have the following cabinet parts for a Sony VO-2630 Top >Loader The control knobs for Audio level (Trk 1 & Trk 2), System >Select, Input Select and Audio Limiter. I think these controls has >been removed by the previous owner ( a hospital) to stop whoever was >operating it from changing them. >Thanks, >Keith, The PR-900 is a Hi-Band machine. It will also play and record Lo-Band on a Lo-Band tape. The PR-900 is not worth a lot of money, but I think it is a well made machine. Check the hour counter at the back. The PR-900 should be able to run wel over 1000 hours on an upper drum.I have used the PR-900 for a long time without major problems as a recorder in an A/B roll editing set. I stopped using it because the colourframing cirquitry in the PR-900 needed re-aligning. But the colourframing is only important in an editing environment. It isn't strange that a VCR of that age needs re-aligning.I think the PR-900 can be a reliable machine (with RS-422 control!) hi I have some u matics KCS-20BRS tapes and i need a machine to play them. i would appreciate some infomation on what model of player I need to buy,how much they cost and where i could get one from.I only need to watch the tapes so there is no need for a flash expensive one. John Hi Rein,PS. are they hi or lo band Thanks Rein, I've been offered thes machines at a reasonable price, and want to run camera iso tapes in them.I have no idea of age or wether they are worth investing in. Does anyone have the following cabinet parts for a Sony VO-2630 Top LoaderThe control knobs for Audio level (Trk 1 & Trk 2), System Select, Input Select and Audio Limiter.I think these controls has been removed by the previous owner ( a hospital) to stop whoever was operating it from changing them. Thanks, Keith,

dystonia 1, torsion, autosomal dominant
An autosomal dominant condition (OMIM:128100), which is the most common and severe of the hereditary dystonias, characterised by involuntary, repetitive, sustained muscle contraction or posture involving one or more sites of the body, in absence of other neurological symptoms. Typically, symptoms develop first in an arm or leg in childhood; it progresses in ±30% of patients to generalised dystonia within 5 years. Distribution and severity of symptoms range from mild and focal to severe and generalised dystonia.Molecular pathology
Caused by defects of TOR1A, which encodes an adenosine triphosphatase thought to act as a chaperone and thereby assist in protein folding.

Min poignantly captures the dilemma of second-generation Americans as they try to find a place in their universe, but she also tells of a quest for self-discovery, which is universal.
Secondhand World: Summary and book reviews of Secondhand World by Katherine Min.
There was even an undertone of softness that recalled poignantly the Eris she had known in the days before the War'the old Eris who now seemed almost as remote and as lost as if he were lying with all the others out there on the plain.
The cathartic moment recalls the poignantly naïve flip-book coda of
Friends and family recalled the poignantly parallel lives and eerily similar deaths of Dee Dee Kohlmeyer and Kristie Bedard yesterday after the drivers accused of running them over in separate accidents in the past week pleaded not guilty in Superior Court.

Great shots James. Thanks for the pics of my Hawk. I'll see if I can salvage any of the ones I took of your Hawk and post them when I get home from vacation. Didn't plan it right. If I stayed over this upcoming weekend I could have enjoyed this show although the rest of the family would have been bored: http://www.jber.af.mil/arcticthunder/
Now I get the PICTURE, some of us have to go to work after the Grandest Jet Rally in the World and others go on vacation. I must be doing something wrong. Marty let me know what I have to do to get a vacation next year after the meet.

Simple. Retire.
We've been on the road since mid-June. Sending this from a campground near Anaconda, Montana on our way to Seattle and Vancouver. Should be getting home around the end of August.
Highlight of the trip so far? (Other than flying jets) Having a 10,000 foot beer at the top of Mount Rendezvous above Jackson Hole, WY.
Looks like your enjoying yourself there Jim. Did you cut your elevators on the SS yet or waiting till you get home?
Hey Marty! Looks can be deceiving. I'm not enjoying myself, I'm having an absolute blast! I highly recommend that everyone get out and see the rest of the country that you live in. (I'll be seeing the rest of my home country in a week or two...)
Will be doing the SS elevator thing over the winter. Along with putting together the Xcaliber and a new Phoenix.
I agree. I left for Alaska the day after getting home from KY and it was pretty amazing. Met two couples in Anchorage during a segway tour who drove to Alaska. One from Florida and one from Ontario Canada.
Great pics Marty!

Thanks Chris.
Outstanding Pics thanks for taking time to capture some of the action.

Patrick, It was good talking to you in the pits about Hawks and on the "photo-flightline"
Hey Lewis,
Here is a pic of the fittings on my taxi tank. I think it has my name on it too. If it's in your pile of taxi tanks please bring it to the NightHawks if you are coming.
PS it's a 50oz Dubro.

I woke around 2am and took my thyroid meds... of course I knew I wasn't going back to sleep. I laid in bed and drifted in and out of a light sleep until 3. I stopped fighting it and woke-up. I went to bed at 7:30 last night... so almost 7 hours is good enough.
So now I'm pretty much ready. Packed my needs up last night and here I sit on the computer looking for that last little piece of motivation that will keep me positive through the race.
While today won't define who I am, it will define my mental toughness and ability to either push-through and believe in my abilities, or whether I dial it in and say, "It's too late now... forget it."
I'll be blogging later, for sure! In the meantime... from my Daughter...

This says you can shower, as long as you don't drink the water.
I think adults can shower but not kids but we are getting conflicting reports.
but I've been reading that the toxin comes from algae blooms. And algae blooms had been noted on Lake Erie prior to this. Seems like they knew it was a possibility.
No wastewater plant says "We can save money by putting toxins in the water" "Brilliant Johnson. Let's do it"
The toxic substance in the water has a lower boiling point than water (although much higher than ambient). That's tricky. Hope nobody decides to heat it up regardless.
Trust me I am probably more critical of the City of toledo than you Blue-by-u but being happy that Toledo is not part of Michigan because of this problem and implying you are better, is inappropriate in this instance.
My friend studied this at BGSU. Went out took samples and came up with some sort of algorithm which used satellites to track these blooms. (Way over my head). He tried to sell this to the city and/or the EPA and they did not want it. I always thought he was just a crazy tree huger but I was wrong.
When I was out today 8am, you could not find water at kroger, meijer, home dept, anywhere. Luckly I work at a place that sells cases of water wholesale so I had no problem. Anyways water is in beer so drink clean beer!
I was wondering why so many people were buying water at Cabellas today.
No, but seriously. My sister-in-law just moved to Toledo and we packed up my mother-in-law's van with water and Gatorade and took it down there.
Hell with Ohio.
Kidding aside, hope they get things figured out soon!
This isn't just a Toledo problem it's Also in southeastern Monroe County. Here in lower Michigan we are going through the same issue.with the water
The late summer Lake Erie algae blooms are trending worse and worse every year (it was especially bad in 2011). There's a few reasons why: fertilizer run-off, different creatures in the Lake which have an effect on the food chain.
I've read that Toledo/extreme SW Lake Erie are especially susceptible --- the Lake Erie currents aren't as strong there as elsewhere in the Lake to "churn" the water, plus proximity to all the Maumee River run-off.
All the best for thos affected .......
I was at the Meijer in Taylor, MI (nearest me) and saw an abnormal amount of Ohio license plates, which I assumed was tied to this problem. Normally, we're the destination of choice for the folks from Ontario who will often leave with monumental amounts of food and other items.
In any case, there are supposedly - per Kroger and Meijer feeds - veritable convoys of trucks with water being sent to the Toledo / southern Monroe County area to help provide some temporary relief, and there was a story earlier which said the results of the next tests are supposed to be available at around 7:30 PM, if indeed the report is accurate.
Avoid the water, drink and cook with beer.
Just let the FREE market take care of it... they don't care about profits if it affects your health!
must be new here. (seriously, I'm on the app and can't see point total. )
People are so damn dumb. My cousin came down yesterday from near Lansing in Fowlerville and people went all the way up there to get a freaking year's worth of bottled water. Then of course all the shity Ohio drivers were making the drive even better.

Uggla is expected to play second base for Atlanta. His arrival frees up Martin Prado to share time at first base with rookie Freddie Freeman, provides insurance for Chipper Jones at third, and also log some at-bats in left field.
Infante was a first-time All-Star who hit a career-high .321 with eight homers and 47 RBIs. Dunn was 2-0 with a 1.89 ERA in 25 games in his rookie season.
The Uggla trade continues a busy offseason for the Marlins, who dealt outfielder Cameron Maybin to San Diego and sent pitcher Andrew Miller to Boston last week.

In a slow period today my coworker mentioned that the world will end in 2012. Being curious, I decided to research a little to see what it's all about. Googling these things is worthless, so I stuck to wikipedia. Interesting stuff. I generally am doubtful of apocalyptic predictions, but I have an open mind. I'm going to talk to him about this tomorrow at work... end of civilization eschatology ultimate fate of the universe 2012 The only think I'm actually worried about is the olduvai theory, which, after a year of studying environmental science, is all too realistic.
Finally, a poll I can totally relate to. I don't think I'll have it all ready by 2012, but I'm working as fast as I can. Tell your co-worker that it'll be ready to go by 2020 at the latest!
Well, that user name came about before I came into control of this whole process, and wasn't sure when the end date would be. But now that I'm runnin' the show, I guess I should change my name to "livinguntilMarch3rd2019"
No, not by 2012. But soon, and it's going to be slow and painful. The more and more pollution that is done, its just killing us slowley. Summers here are SO hot (35ºC) and winters are (-40ºC) it's just insane, this is not how it was a few years ago. If people keep up this lifestyle, earth is going to root. Nasa better figure out a way to get everyone from earth onto a new planet, and soon.
Nah, the world won't end then. But unfortunately, you'll be dead in 2008. I'm pretty psychic about these things. Sorry for the bad news.
My dad was just talking about somehting happening in 2008. A completion of something. I don't remember, but it was something about earth and 2008, maybe you know.
They're my 'interesting reading' material I felt could be cool...as to 2012: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012#Apocalypticism.2FSpiritual_transformation
Maybe our civilisation could be brought to the brink of destruction by 2012 but the world will certainly not "end." This planet has been much warmer and much colder than it is now, had much more and much less CO2, more and less oxygen, water, land, ocean, ice, desert. The only problem now is that the dominant species on the planet has the ability to not only alter the climate but comprehend the consequences of such changes. We might not survive but the Earth will, life will survive somewhere and evolve into new species far removed from what is here now. That's what I think anyway.
The world will not end in 2012, but it will be radically changed. A meteor will strike the Earth, there will be mass devastation, climate change, etc., and the human civilization will have to change the way it lives from then on. Aliens may finally make their presence known to the public as opposed to just the military and other select few, and will assist the survivors. It will be the dawning of a new era. You asked.
The Mayan calander ends in 2012 and since they were buddy buddy with the spacemen some people think they knew when the end is coming. According to the experts on shortwave the end will be here any day now.
Well that's what I keep saying, but no one will listen. What people don't realize is that these aren't prophecies, they're warnings. Warnings that we just keep ignoring. So basically, it's what you would call a self fulfilling prophecy. If you go by the estimates, it's around Dec. 21st 2012, allowing for the proper adjustments. Don't worry too much though, we're trying to find a way to stop it.
Hah, I chose "Yes". I don't really think that it will end in 2012, really... I'll take a look at those links though.
how does 2029 sound? from what my astronomy professor told us, an asteroid will pass close to us in 2029 (april 13th I think he said), and there's a slight chance it will hit us. edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99942_Apophis
Man you guys are way behind..The world's already ended. This is just a dream, A vaccum machine, It sucks you into thinking this way.

During the first week of the 2013 Keeneland September yearling sale, consignors reaped the benefits of an enthusiastic and deep demand for their offerings, and three recent September sale milestones were met or passed in the process.
The 2013 sale's first checkpoint: surpassing the seven horses that sold for $1-million or more last year. That figure was eclipsed by the end of Tuesday's second session.
The next target: selling a horse for more than last year's sale-topper. That was achieved during Thursday's fourth session, when M.V. Magnier of Coolmore Stud secured a War Front colt for $2.5 million, an $850,000 improvement over the 2012 leader.
Nearing the end of the fourth session, another notable accomplishment was within reach. Eighteen seven-figure yearlings sold during the 2008 Keeneland September auction, which was underway when the Lehman Brothers/Wall Street crisis occurred. During the last handful of offerings on Thursday, a Tapit yearling sold for $1 million to put the 2013 sale on even terms with 2008 with regard to high-end purchases – and there's still more than a week to go.
Perhaps most important of all, the stated goal among Keeneland executives was for the sale to post improved week one figures compared with last year. Again, mission accomplished.
During the first four days, comprising the Book 1 section, a total of 546 horses sold for revenues of $153,385,000. Gross revenues increased 15 percent compared with last year's four-day total of $132,853,000 from 655 sold. The week one average of $280,925 jumped 39 percent from $202,829 in 2012, while the median rose 38 percent, from $150,000 to $207,500.
The buyback rate of 27 percent decreased slightly from last year's figure of 29 percent.
"There was huge, diverse buying, both internationally, domestically, new people, old people, pinhookers, end users – you name the criteria of buyer, they were here," said Geoffrey Russell, Keeneland's director of sales. "Week one was a great success."
The Coolmore partnership made its presence known at the top of the market throughout the first week, making four seven-figure purchases. The tickets were signed by M.V. Magnier, son of Coolmore's John and Susan Magnier.
The group took its biggest swing on the previously mentioned $2.5 million War Front colt, making him the most expensive yearling purchased at a North American public auction since Mr. Besilu went for $4.2 million at the 2010 Keeneland September sale.
The dark bay or brown colt is the first foal out of the stakes-placed winning During mare Blading Gold Ring, who is a half-sister to Grade 1-placed winner Emerald Gold. Bred in Kentucky by Fred Hertrich III and John D. Fielding, the colt is from the family of Grade 1 winners Willa on the Move and Will's Way, as well as Grade/Group 3 winners Undermine and Holberg.
Peter O'Callaghan's Woods Edge Farm consigned the colt as agent. O'Callaghan said that his reserve was set at around $350,000, and that Coolmore's team first visited his barn to inspect the horse several days ago, returning every day leading up to the sale.
The transaction marked the second seven-figure purchase by Magnier of a yearling consigned by O'Callaghan during this year's sale, after he secured a $1.4 million Galileo colt on Wednesday.
"You're obviously surprised at that kind of level," O'Callaghan said about the War Front colt. "I never imagined he'd make that kind of money, but he had enormous interest. When you have Coolmore and the Arab outfits – whether it is Sheikh Hamdan or Sheikh Mohammed or the Qatari outfits – really eager to buy your horse, anything is possible."
The colt was a $150,000 purchase as a weanling by Brittlyn Stables at the Keeneland November breeding stock sale, making for a wildly successful pinhook.
"He was just a really nice horse," O'Callaghan said, giving his assessment of the colt as a weanling. "He was a very strong horse, very correct, and a great mover. We were War Front believers from the beginning, and at the time, it probably was plenty of money for [the colt]. A lot of people thought it was too much money, but we bought him, we took a chance, and got lucky."
That purchase was the highlight of Thursday's session, which featured 142 horses sold for $41,874,000. The average sale price during the fourth session was $294,887, while the median price was $210,000. The buyback rate held steady at 26 percent.
Through the first four days of selling, Taylor Made Sales Agency led all consignors with 68 horses sold for a combined $18,390,000. Their roster was led by a $1.75 million Tiznow filly sold during Wednesday's third session, out of the Canadian champion Silken Cat, by Storm Cat. She is a half-sister to champion sprinter and leading sire Speightstown. Borges Torrealba Holdings bought the filly.
Sheikh Hamdan al-Maktoum's Shadwell Estate Company Ltd. was the leading bidder by gross during three of the four sessions, making him the week's overall top buyer with 25 purchases totaling $11,300,000. His biggest purchase came near the end of Thursday's session – giving the sale its 18th seven-figure yearling – when he went to $1 million to secure a Tapit filly out of the winning Tabasco Cat mare Evrobi, dam of Grade 1 winner Tell a Kelly.
Gainesway sire Tapit was the leading sire by gross sales during the first week of the Keeneland September sale, with 31 progeny sold for a total of $13,995,000. Galileo, who stands at Coolmore's headquarters in Co. Kildare, Ireland, was the week's leading sire by average, with five yearlings sold for an average price of $523,000.
Following a dark day on Friday, the Keeneland September sale will resume with Book 2 sessions Saturday and Sunday, beginning each day at 10 a.m. Eastern.

--additional reporting by Matt Hegarty and Nicole Russo
I remember when Tiznow stood for $15,000 as a new sire. Considering his fighting spirit (won or placed in 14 of 15 starts) and his pedigree (from Man O' War line), I fell in love with him. Of course, his looks didn't hurt. Lol. I've watched his Breeder's Cup Classic wins over and over. He refused to lose. Horse of the Year, etc. Since then, he has sired some good runners: Folklore, Well Armed and Colonel John. Now we have recent winner Strong Mandate. He is being bred to better mares now and is currently among Keeneland's top ten sires by average sold. Go Tiznow! Sneaky good.
I hope no one bought a Green Monkey. Lol a lot of money for somebody who dad was good at something. Love billionaire need more younger ones to interested in sport. Only if I could be one. I would buy a fleet of tiznows, Galileos and Awesome Agains colts and fillies. Fault dear Brutus not in the stars. Oh B.S

text: Got an appointment tomorrow at the low cost clinic. I'm supposed to be 8 weeks tomorrow & haven't had an u/s yet. I'm assuming I'll have my first done 2mrrw. I've heard I may have to have it done transvaginally if they can't see enough on my stomach. The thing is I'm a little worried since I've had a mc before. The thing is, the person that is going to see me & do the u/s is a PA. Are they qualified to do this? I'm just nervous because of the previous mc & my mom is nervous & weary of a PA doing this procedure that we've heard to be invasive. Advice? I don't mean to be rude to PA's, I really don't know what their training/ qualifications are, so if anyone can enlighten me that'd be great!

Such a nice game... i know it's from 2k9, but it's such a fun game! i've had so much fun playing this when i was just a little kid, and now i'm still having fun, besides that, the game have a nice art and soundtrack, and a good mechanic of playing, but the story itself it's not that good... i rate 4.5 stars for this game.
so the guy "chibi" is the red guy? HE IS SO FUCKING ADORABLE I CAN KISS HIM
Love this game. The art, the music, and blatantly offensive dialogue and references. It's an essential Newgrounds game. I'd love to see it expanded and released as an indie console game.

Thus they spoke to one another, and then lay down to sleep, for no long time, but for a little;
for soon came fair-throned Dawn. But the comrades of Telemachus, drawing near the shore, furled the sail, and took down the mast quickly, and rowed the ship to her anchorage with their oars. Then they cast out the mooring-stones and made fast the stern cables, and themselves went forth upon the shore of the sea,
and made ready their meal and mixed the flaming wine. But when they had put from them the desire of food and drink, among them wise Telemachus was the first to speak, saying:
"Do you now row the black ship to the city, but I will visit the fields and the herdsmen,
and at evening will come to the city when I have looked over my lands. And in the morning I will set before you, as wages for your journey, a good feast of flesh and sweet wine."
Then godlike Theoclymenus answered him: "Whither shall I go, dear child? To whose house shall I come
of those who rule in rocky Ithaca? Or shall I go straight to thy mother's house and thine?"
Then wise Telemachus answered him: "Were things otherwise, I should bid thee go even to our house, for there is in no wise lack of entertainment for strangers, but
it would be worse for thyself, since I shall be away, and my mother will not see thee. For she does not often appear before the wooers in the house, but apart from them weaves at her loom in an upper chamber. But I will tell thee of another man to whom thou mayest go, Eurymachus, glorious son of wise Polybus,
whom now the men of Ithaca look upon as on a god. For he is by far the best man, and is most eager to marry my mother and to have the honor of Odysseus. Nevertheless Olympian Zeus, who dwells in the sky, knows this, whether or not before marriage he will fulfil for them the evil day."

Jaime Cacciola Director of Grants and Planned Giving Alumnae House, Office firstname.lastname@example.com 301-696-3828
The grants officer serves as the coordinator for the development of proposals related to academic programs and institutional initiatives. Before beginning to write a proposal, schedule an appointment with the grants officer to review College procedures for submission of a proposal, to review the agency/foundation guidelines, and to establish a work schedule. A minimum of six weeks is usually needed to develop a good proposal.
Hood College encourages faculty to seek support for research and programs that may lead to increased basic knowledge, improved methods of instruction and equipment, or better services in accordance with the institution's mission and long-range plans.
Many agencies and foundations have specific purposes and often specify programs they wish to support. The grants officer will make those opportunities known to the appropriate department and/or individuals.
The initiative and responsibility for writing and submitting proposals should originate with the faculty member. Hood provides support to encourage and to assist in the preparation of proposals through the grants officer, who reviews each institutional grant, ensuring that each adheres to college and agency and/or foundation requirements. Proposals may not be submitted without an appropriate review and authorizing signatures.
At least four weeks before a grant is due, the project director submits to the grants officer the Hood College Grants Authorization form, which includes a summary of the proposal, the budget information, and the signatures of the project director, the department chair, the grants officer, and the Vice President of Academic Affairs.
The project director writes a first draft in accordance with the agency or foundation guidelines and works with the grants officer on edits and on the budget.
The Vice President of Academic Affairs signs the cover sheet or letter of transmittal.

"His Extra weight"!? you meanie!
Monterey to Big Sur 52k
Trip Start
Jan 28, 2014
Trip End
Almost immediately to the 17 mile drive road to Carmel, it's a $10 dollar toll road but the guy didn't charge us! It's really beautiful with wonderful houses, the waves were pretty huge too. Great empty beach with lots of walkers, didn't see Clint though.
Back up to route one and it's not very busy and has a shoulder (not exactly a bike lane) to ride on but soon the hills start. Their not too steep just long and lots of them, started to get hot though so behind a bush to change into shorts & put on sunblock. Wonderful views all along making us stop a lot for photos, it's really weird when in places the mist rolls in off the ocean even needing the back lights on at one point. Then heaven, a long downhill into Big Sur, it's not really what you expect, it's in the redwood forests and not on cliffs as you'd think. Our motel River Inn is fine, we booked the stay & dine for $160 (rooms here are $130 & no hairdryer!) which seemed a good deal but the dinner wasn't great & with wine came to $99 and our dinner voucher was for $90! Oh well there's just nowhere around here to stay as they don't allow development so we'd no choice. We met a nice boy who'd cycled from Oregon and was also going to San Diego, he was camping and also going for a 20odd mile hike tonight, he was very handsome but very Californian though he kept talking about detoxing & eating seaweed to another boy that was there. We were hoping only to go 30 miles tomorrow which was the closest motel but it's closed for 2 weeks so we have to go 40 miles to Gorda and we know from blogs that it's going to be the hardest day, really steep so think we'd better have an early start with a late finish I'm sure. Haven't said yet how nice everybody here in California is so if we get in trouble tomorrow I'm sure a nice pick up driver will help! Peter keeps saying he can't keep up with me, might be the extra stuff he's carrying or his extra weight. It's been nice sitting around the fire in the bar writing this but asked to leave, it's only 9.30! Ok back to our cabin, no TV here lucky I guess that there's wifi.

New Zealand fly-half Daniel Carter will start his first test in almost a year and captain Richie McCaw will play at blindside flanker for the first time when the All Blacks meet Scotland on Saturday.
Carter last started a game for the world champions last November against England, when he won his 100th test cap, but has barely played at all in 2014 following a six-month sabbatical and his recovery from a broken leg.
Captain McCaw, who has played openside flanker for the majority of his career, will make his first appearance in the number six jersey for the All Blacks as coach Steve Hansen gives understudy Sam Cane valuable game time.
Hooker James Parsons, who was called into the squad in London after Nathan Harris was sent home with an ankle injury, will also make his test debut at Murrayfield in an experimental team that includes fly-half Colin Slade on the right wing.
New Zealand:
Replacements: 16-Dane Coles, 17-Wyatt Crockett, 18-Ben Franks, 19-Luke Romano, 20-Liam Messam, 21-Augustine Pulu, 22-Sonny Bill Williams, 23-Julian Savea

Story highlights
- Group made first swim across the Dead Sea
- They endured stinging salt to draw attention to the drying of the sea
- Shrinking sea blamed on resource policies
- Israel and Jordan have signed a deal to try to tackle the problem
Dead Sea, Israel (CNN)The swimmers pulled themselves from the water exhausted, their lycra swimsuits stiff from all the crystallized salt. The water had stung their eyes, burned their skin, and exposed cuts they never knew they had. But after seven hours in the water, just after the shadows started growing long again in the afternoon sun, they were finished.
The group of nearly 30 swimmers had become the first people ever to swim across the Dead Sea from Jordan to Israel, a nine-mile (15-kilometer) swim that had never been accomplished before because the water is so inhospitable to marathon swimming.
Dead Sea rapidly disappearing
"I can't believe it. It's such an emotional moment," said record-breaking marathon swimmer Kim Chambers, wrapped in her native New Zealand flag.
"It was teamwork at its finest. This is what happens when you get 28 crazy people together who think it's a good idea to swim across the Dead Sea."
Chambers and the group of swimmers, who came from all over the world, wanted to raise awareness of the rapidly dropping sea levels.
The world's lowest and one of the saltiest bodies of water is in danger of becoming extinct as its level drops at the rate of approximately one meter (3.3 feet) per year, according to Gidon Bromberg, Israeli director of EcoPeace Middle East.
"That demise of the Dead Sea is not global climate change -- it's policies of the governments here in the region," said Bromberg.
Most of the water of the Jordan River, which feeds the Dead Sea, is diverted to other uses, Bromberg said.
The effect is to starve the Dead Sea of its only source of replenishment. The industry mining the sea for its minerals also promotes evaporation, according to Bromberg.
Canal plan to avert crisis
Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a deal on a $900 million plan to build a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea.
The waterway, running approximately 124 miles between the two seas, would provide drinking water to the two countries while pumping water into the Dead Sea to stabilize its levels.
This summer, 17 companies offered bids to build the canal, which is expected to take four to five years to complete. When finished it will pump hundreds of millions of cubic meters of water per year into the Dead Sea.
'Acid burning your eyeballs'
In the interim, the sea (which is actually an inland lake) is becoming saltier -- something the swimmers couldn't help but notice.
"One drop of this water and I can tell you from experience in the last 24 hours ... It's like acid burning your eyeballs," said Chambers. "I had to take my contact lenses out so I couldn't actually see shore when we came in."
Chambers has completed marathon swims in Japan, America, Gibraltar, and Scotland among other places but this swim posed its own unique set of challenges.
The swimmers had to wear full face masks to protect their eyes and mouth but the masks leaked.
"We got water in our eyes, we were in pain. We're chafed, but everyone just stuck together and kept an eye out for each other," Chambers said.
"We all rallied around this single purpose, which was to draw attention to the Dead Sea, and it had to be something as flamboyant as this to get international attention.
"To be able to do something like this when you get unprecedented diplomatic support from both sides, to save this sea, which is why we're all here today, it's going to take a long time to process. This is so special."

Offset mortgages: hit or miss?
ONE in four households would benefit from an offset mortgage, according to one lender. But independent experts say they do not suit the majority of borrowers - and they argue that most of us would be better off simply grabbing the lowest rates. So who's right? JO THORNHILL does the sums.
The offset idea is simple. Borrowers' cash savings are set against their mortgage debt, so they pay interest only on the balance. But monthly mortgage repayments are calculated on the full debt, before offsetting is taken into account. So borrowers effectively overpay on their debt each month.
That means the mortgage debt is cleared much faster than with a conventional loan. And borrowers benefit from not paying tax on the interest they would otherwise earn on their savings.
So, for example, a borrower with a £100,000 mortgage paying Intelligent Finance's offset tracker loan rate of 5.24% would save more than £39,000 interest over the life of the mortgage by offsetting £20,000 of savings. They would also pay off the loan five years early, based on a traditional 25 year mortgage.
About a quarter of mainstream mortgage lenders have offset deals. There are current account mortgages, such as the deal from One Account, backed by Royal Bank of Scotland, that allow borrowers to offset a current account balance as well as their savings against mortgage debt. In total, offset and current account mortgages make up about ten% of the home loans market.
Many offset deals have interest rates that track the Bank of England base rate, but it is possible to get an offset loan with a fixed or capped rate.
Offset loans are flexible, so borrowers may pay off capital without penalty, underpay and take payment holidays, provided they have made sufficient overpayments throughout the year.
Of course, there is a catch. Offset mortgages have higher rates than traditional deals, so borrowers pay a premium for the flexible features. For this reason, they are not the best option for everyone. And statistics suggest they are not always popular among consumers.
According to mortgage broker John Charcol, only one% of borrowers opted for an offset loan last month, compared with one in five who took base rate tracker deals and 18% who chose low two-year fixed deals.
James Cotton, a mortgage adviser with independent broker London & Country in Bath, Somerset, says that higher rate taxpayers need at least £10,000 in savings to offset against a £100,000 mortgage to make an offset deal better value than a traditional mortgage.
And basic rate taxpayers would need at least £20,000 in savings to offset against a £100,000 mortgage. These calculations are based on a fixed offset rate of 4.69% for two years with Leeds Building Society, compared with a 4.49% two-year traditional tracker with Nationwide.
Cotton says: 'Rates on offset mortgages have fallen in recent years as competition has increased, but they are still higher than best-buy mortgage rates.
'Borrowers need to do some number crunching and think about whether they will make full use of the flexible features. 'For many, it will be the case that they would be better off chasing the lowest possible mortgage rate.'
Abbey's Flexible Plus mortgage is one of the best offset deals. It has a rate of 0.26 points below base rate, now 4.5%, for six months, followed by the base rate plus 0.75 points for the mortgage's life.
Yorkshire Building Society has a two-year fixed offset rate at 4.64% and a lifetime tracker at base rate plus 0.45 points.
Ray Boulger at Charcol says that although offset mortgages probably will not suit most buyers, some have attractive features. 'Some will allow you to offset multiple savings accounts and current accounts,' says Boulger.
'There are also family offsets from Yorkshire and Newcastle building societies, which enable parents to help their children get on the property ladder.
'Parents can use their savings to offset against the mortgage and bring their children's monthly repayments down, but they still have access to the money if they need it back.'
Business development manager Mark Pittaccio, 42, from Baldock, Hertfordshire, has had an offset mortgage for six years. He says it has enabled him to renovate a property, buy a car, start a business and help with tax planning.
'It is the flexibility of offset that appeals,' says Mark, whose wife Jan, 42, is a medical researcher. The couple have an 11-year-old daughter, Kate. 'I first took an offset loan with First Active in 1999 because I was doing up an investment property,' says Mark.
'I remortgaged to release some equity, but then paid some of the cash back immediately. That way, I could then draw down the funds as and when it was convenient as the renovation progressed.
'In contrast, with a traditional mortgage I would have had to remortgage in one stage to release all the funds needed for a renovation, paying interest on the whole sum from day one.'
Mark remortgaged from First Active to Intelligent Finance's offset loan two years ago and admits that the rate he pays, 5.7%, is higher than some of the best two-year discounted and fixed rate deals available. But he believes it is worth paying the premium for the benefits he gets.
'I love the flexibility of an offset loan,' says Mark. 'Jan is due to give birth and wants to take some time off work so I'll probably pay a chunk off the mortgage to bring down our monthly repayments so we can manage on a lower income. There won't be any penalty for doing that.'
When a two-year fix strikes the right note
Rate chasers
MANY borrowers aren't prepared - or can't afford - to pay the premium for an offset mortgage. And offsetting is not suitable for borrowers without cash savings.
Ray Boulger of broker Charcol says borrowers with credit card and personal loan debts might be better off using spare cash to reduce their borrowings, rather than offsetting. Offset loans are also unsuitable for those with little equity in their home.
That was the case for first-time buyers Julia Horbury, 25, and her boyfriend Christopher Charlton, 29, from Saltaire, West Yorkshire.
They bought a terraced property for £110,000, but with no deposit to put down and no savings, an offset mortgage was not an option.
'It was clear that a fixed rate deal that would give us the lowest possible monthly repayments was the obvious option,' says Julia, who works in urban redevelopment.
She and Chris, who works for the local council, chose a loan with Northern Rock bank fixed at 5.89% for two years. Five% of the loan is unsecured. 'Offsetting seems like a great idea, but it clearly isn't suitable for us,' says Julia.
We must have a low interest rate
Flexible borrowers
There is another option for homeowners who want flexibility but don't have the savings to make an offset loan worthwhile. Many flexible deals have lower interest rates than fullyfledged offset loans.
Flexible mortgages allow borrowers to make unlimited overpayments without penalty charges, then draw back on that cash at a later date.
Alliance & Leicester bank has a two-year flexible base rate tracker mortgage with a current rate of 4.39% and Principality Building Society has a two-year variable rate at 4.55%, which is fully flexible.
Ian Giles at Purely Mortgages of London says borrowers interested in flexible features should seek advice. But homeowners should not pay a premium for features they will not use.
'Flexible loans can be an excellent tool for those who want to try to reduce their mortgages faster,' says Giles. 'But most mainstream lenders, such as Abbey, Halifax and Nationwide, will allow you to overpay up to ten% of your capital each year without penalty on their ordinary mortgages, so you may not even need a flexible loan.'
Shelley Hyrons, 27, a recruitment consultant, is hoping to repay her mortgage earlier than the traditional 25 years, but she does not need an offset mortgage to achieve it.
Shelley and her fiance, Paul Groves, 37, have recently remortgaged their home in Guildford, Surrey, with a twoyear fixed deal with Cheltenham & Gloucester. It has a low rate of 4.39%. But the mortgage allows overpayments of up to ten% of capital each year. Interest is calculated daily, so overpayments start to make a difference immediately.
Shelley says: 'I like the flexibility of being able to overpay on the mortgage, but it is important to Paul and I that we have a low mortgage rate.'
The couple have released some equity from their property to help pay for their wedding in May next year.
But Shelley says they may not need all the cash they have unlocked. 'It is good to know that we can repay any excess cash back next year without penalty if we find we don't use it for the wedding,' she says.
'We don't want to have to pay interest on debt we don't need.'

Ok guys im getting quite annoyed. A little while back I tried updating my Iphone4 and for some reason it went wrong, didnt backup my iphone and crashed, needing to be completely restored. When I got it going again, i noticed that some songs which had been downloaded directly to it from itunes were missing... So tonight i thought id try getting them back. If you look on apples support page you will see this: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store Which explains that you can now redownload previous purchases... Quite handy if your phone is a tard. But going through the process, it doesnt give me the option for music. It only gives me the options for books or apps.... Now am i missing a trick? because the support page says you can do it. I have version 10.4 of itunes. No wonder people download music illegally with hassle like this Apple boffins, please reveal yourselves
How much music is in question? I always find emailing them works, they have always been great with me and wouldn't expect anything else from them. Drop them a quick email, if they can't help you they will show you the ropes I'm sure.
LOL. I don't mean to rub it in your face, but I reckon you shoulda bought something else. Love it when iPhone users get frustrated because it don't work properly.
Unfortunately Apple hasn't implemented the music side of things outside of the U.S. yet (Just Apps and Books). Your best bet at the moment as stated in an earlier post is to email them. Apple will hopefully be rolling the feature out to the rest of the world by the time iOS 5 is ready in Autumn. Never quite understood this opinion, my Apple gear runs better than other tech i've owned in the past. Any tech has the ability to malfunction once in a while - hell, my A4 is only 7 weeks old and has had to go back today because the stereo has stopped producing sound! Should I also have bought something else?
Woaw quick replies, i like this section. Only 2 albums Iv lost I think. Will have to send an email, did see that suggestion on google Either blackberry or HTC scum Excellent... i would like to see what other features iOS5 is bringing.
Success! I messaged apple and they credited the album to my account... That's why I like apple... Everything works so well. Think iv decided on an iPad2 aswell, most of my mates hate the apple brand, but they are cutting there nose to spite their face IMO, as they are top at the moment. Got to admit iOS5 doesn't seem anything radical, hopefully they have a few more features that they are not letting on too.
Can't fault them, fair play. As for iOS5, I personally think it's great. Allot more user friendly and makes sending photos to Twitter (not a fan of Facebook) easier.
Hmm I dont use twitter, Don't see why they can't make it integrate with all social networking sites... All about I suppose. The biggest and best thing they could do is get flash player on there. Ha I love those weird videos, sounds very much like the discussion my friends have about our phones
I'm running IOS5 beta and it is awesome!! Can't wait for it to be released so I can use imessage more often!
I'm hoping they release an iPhone5 due to the issues with iPhone4 but we'll see. I've had my iPhone 3GS for 2 years now and it's still going strong so when people slag the iPhone off I just put them in their place I don't bum off Apple stuff I just like the simplicity of the iPhone and iPod and iTunes once you know how to use them properly Not only have I been on a 24month contract with it I have just renewed my contract to £20 a month on an anytime upgrade. As raegrds to re-downloading music normally they don;t let you do it and the same goes for films/videos due to copyright laws. Sony have this same ruling for films. I had this issue a while back. Fortunately they let me re-download them but they said in future back up your stuff (I just forgot to on this occasion).
Yeah but they are ment to be changing the law to suit apple etc. I think it will be good though. The laws are all old and need updating for modern media devices.
IOS 5 seems great so far - Notifications are awesome (even if my android touting buddies keep telling me its a straight rip-off), Wireless sync works great, and the ability to listen to songs as they are downloading is really handy.
They are in respect to it actually working well, rather than when it feels like it. Bloke in the O2 shop yesterday banging on about video calling being around for ages... That's true but it never seemed to work on my nokia n96
Not convinced at all, both there features have been working perfectly fine for years on other handsets as I've used both, video calling hasnt caught on due to the cost element involved, even if its a fully working system & wireless sync, albeit needs configuring correctly, but works just the same
I use face time all the time as its free and only uses my data! With three i get unlimited all i can data. Alternativly all you have to do is download the Skype APP and it wont cost you anything if you use a WIFI netwoek
