Interesting. In the UK, learner drivers are not allowed on motorways. You have to pass your test first.
Quote from: RingTailedLemur on January 03, 2013, 03:15:54 AMInteresting. In the UK, learner drivers are not allowed on motorways. You have to pass your test first.In much of the US, it's a lot harder to get anywhere without being on a highway than it is in the UK. It would be very hard to get in enough driving practice if you weren't allowed on highways. And honestly, highways are a lot easier in terms of sheer driving skills. Smaller roads with intersections and lights and traffic coming at you from everywhere are really a lot more challenging. Highways are just high speed.
In the UK, you have to pass a written exam on driving and road rules before you're allowed to take the actual driving test - does this happen in the US too? Where do you go to take the test, the DMV, or in school during Drivers Ed class? What about people learning to drive who aren't taking Drivers Ed?I was always fascinated hearing about Drivers Ed. In the UK we don't have anything like that in schools; people hire an instructor via an independent driving school and all the instruction is one-on-one in the car. People are expected to buy the Highway Code and learn the theory stuff in their own time. Do you have independent driving schools, where you can phone and an instructor brings a car to your house for a lesson, or is learning to drive mostly done via Drivers Ed and relatives? I think we should have Drivers Ed, it sounds like a much more sensible idea.
My son will be 15 in May and we are going to take him to get his learner's permit.In his public high school, they sign up for a six week virtual driver's education class. Once they complete that, there is a manual they have to study and a written test to take before they can get their learner's permit. Once he has his permit, he will drive with adult supervision (must be over 21) until he is 16, when he can take the driving test and get his license. Florida calls it a graduated license. You go from a learner, to having a limited license (no driving from 11pm - 6 am without an adult over 21 in the car). The restrictions lessen until they are 18 and are unrestricted.
About the UK. How are you going to learn driving on motorways if you are not allowed to drive on them?

Whether its turkey legs, elephant ears or cotton candy, one of the best parts of the Evergreen State Fair is the food.
It could also be the worst part.
A little carelessness could mean that dozens of people become sick after gorging on fair food.
That's why the Snohomish Health District sends out food inspectors to summer events including the fair, which is scheduled to start next week and run through Sept. 2.
During the summer, the staff inspects nearly 1,000 temporary food service vendors including those at 40-plus community events.
"Our 10 environmental health specialists spend most of their summer weekends inspecting the food vendors at local events like AquaFest and the Stanwood-Camano Fair," food safety team leader Randy Durant said in a news release. "If they find any critical food safety failure, it has to be corrected immediately. We are just as thorough at a temporary event as we are in a brick-and-mortar restaurant."
Those health workers check food temperatures, refrigeration, hand-washing and food-handling procedures, permits and about 40 more items on a checklist intended to ensure that vendors and staff maintain the best practices for food safety.
The health district also provides training for food workers. Food handlers must pass a test to earn a state food worker card before they can work in food service.
The health district supplies portable hand washing stations at some of the larger events, such as the Monroe fairgrounds. The health district's food safety team inspects daily at the fair.
Evergreen State Fair returns
The Evergreen State Fair is Aug. 22 through Sept. 2 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe. Watch for more advance coverage in The Herald and at www.HeraldNet.com or go to www.evergreenfair.org.

There was a different kind of horsey magic at Randwick Racecourse on Saturday as South Korean superstar Psy performed his dance hit Gangnam Style to tens of thousands of fans.
If the streets of Sydney appeared to be missing a few Gen Y faces it was because most of them had turned up to experience the K-pop phenomenon in person.
But the Future Music festival, which attracted 50,000 fans, had a line-up that veered from Psy to alt-indie rockers The Stone Roses, who first emerged on the British scene in the late 1980s.
Psy's appearance on the Future Music Festival bill caused plenty of hilarity among revellers and some raised eyebrows as his infamous horsey dance, seen in more than one billion Youtube views, was performed live.
In perhaps a nod to the hot, dusty conditions Psy opted for a sleeveless version of his signature suit.
Alashana Stead, 19, who attended the event with her best friends Stephanie Lea and Jenny Thompson, both 19, said it was amusing there was only one Psy song that everybody knew.
But the dancing was priceless.
"It should be on Funniest Home Videos, everyone looks like idiots," Stead said.
Many fans seemed keen to simply see Psy in the flesh.
"It's exciting to see him live, we've only seen him on YouTube otherwise," said Anushka Chainani, 20, from Castle Hill. "Everyone's doing the moves and it's fun - everyone's into it."
Despite being set inside a construction zone, with a waiting time for some punters of more than an hour and a half to even get inside the gates, the mood of the crowd remained upbeat in the March sunshine. Some questioned the slightly shambolic nature of the festival. "I've never seen queues like this in my life, it's so unorganised," said Stephanie Cadwell, 24, from Bondi. But most seemed content just soaking in the atmosphere and outfits noon- denim shorts and crazy animal hats were almost de rigeur.
Some people amusingly questioned the use of the phrase "future music" for bands who had clearly found fame decades ago, including The Stone Roses and The Prodigy, despite both acts being strong drawcards for many fans at the event.
There were plenty of other hot industry names on the bill included Rita Ora, Australian band The Temper Trap and Avicii.
The Future Music festival was just one part of Sydney's mega-music weekend with artists ranging from Kiss and Motley Crue to Paul Kelly and Neil Finn (not to mention Neil Young, Nick Cave and Ronan Keating) also playing gigs over the weekend.

Pain Medication Or Not?
I am having an inner-battle with myself regarding my delivery. When I first became pregnant I wanted to have a home water birth. Then I decided I wasn't comfortable enough to do so. I was then dead-set on not having any pain medication (i.e. epidural). Now that I am almost 9 months pregnant and I have felt pregnancy pains, I am afraid that I will be unable to handle the labour pains. Along with this, I am extremely afraid of the feeling of numbness. Being numb makes me unreasonably anxious, it is almost like it is a phobia of mine.
My husband and I have decided that our number one concern during delivery is that every one in the room (my husband, my mother, and myself) are calm and relaxed. Again-if I am in pain, will I be calm? If I am numb, will I be calm? I think the answer is no to both of these.
What are things I can do to make my labour easy, relaxing, and calm-even if it is in the hospital?

Have you considered hiring a doula? She can help you to remain calm and comfortable and provide you with suggestions for natural pain relief. I have found that the more worried you are about the pain, the more you will tense up and be uncomfortable during contractions.
For me, I was honestly more calm during my natural births then then the one where I submitted to an epidural. I also felt better afterwards. However, every woman and every situation is different. I would definitely look into getting someone to support you and help you achieve your wishes for a natural, calm birth. I do not think you will regret it at all.
Since this is your first baby, I would also consider signing up for a short childbirth class session if you can find one.

Hi EllesMom,
The benefits of a water birth is that the water acts as a natural epidural (okay, labour is still intense, but the water does relax you which helps with the pain). The more relaxed you are the less pain you will have.
I would highly recommend finding a doula or support person who knows how to coach a woman through labour. Even though you're in your final weeks of pregnancy, it's still possible to find a doula. Another alternative is to use a midwife at the hospital (if they have them). Midwives are much better at helping you use different positions, applying counter pressure to your back during contractions, etc. and all of these things help to lessen pain and help baby come into position better.
I'd encourage you to see a Chiropractor or CranioSacral therapist who can help get your skeletal system into good alignment. This will help to facilitate a faster, easier birth.
Stay home as long as you possibly can, because when you're home you're in your natural surroundings. Having a doula can help because the doula can come to your house and give you a good idea as to when it's a good time to go to the hospital. If you go too early, they'll likely send you home or tell you to go walk around the mall for a few hours. I'd rather be home during early and most of active labour.
Things that help to relax:
Candles (if you like candles - be careful with the ones that have perfumes because you may not like the smell of those during labour)
Warm bath (as long as you bag is in tact) - this is WONDERFUL
Relaxing music - whatever it is that you like, that you find relaxing
Going for a stroll with your husband or your best support person
Slow Dancing (no kidding) - You've got to take a look at this page and the video on the page.
And here's a video that I thought would be empowering for you. The title is "From Fear To Freedom"
I hope you'll be able the home birth you wanted, in the setting you feel more comfortable in, which is the hospital, this time around.
Warm regards,

Twin brothers of separate mothers
One of us is a battle tested, recently retired career Army man who is a veteran of Operation Desert Storm. The other is a former peace and social justice activist with portfolio who rose through the Green Party's California ranks before taking up FOSS evangelism with a vengance.
One of us lives in Texas, where the stars at night are big and bright (clap four times here), while the other lives on the Central California coast, where — and it's a law, I think — every sentence must end with the word " . . . dude."
One of us swears by KDE, the other prefers GNOME but really has an affinity for Xfce. One of us calls the operating system "Linux" out of laziness. The other makes a point of referring to it as "GNU/Linux" because the "GNU should get its due."
Ken Starks and I have our differences. I would be willing to bet he doesn't think Texas cheated in the Rose Bowl when they beat USC for the national championship a year ago (they did), nor do I think he would agree with me that the former Texas governor cheated in the 2000 election to win the presidency (he did ). Ken grew up a Cubs fan — anyone who knows me knows how much I detest the Cubs ('89 NLCS, anyone?) — but he now follows the Houston Astros, while I live and die, mostly die, with the San Francisco Giants.
Yet it's safe to say that Ken and I are united in one thing: Promoting Linux (as he'd say) in the home desktop/laptop and small business environment; that, and making sure everyone knows they have FOSS options to their proprietary computing experience.
My introduction to Ken — I haven't actually met him in person yet — came after what I thought was a slight in a Blog of Helios of one of my heroes, Abbie Hoffman. Yes, for those of you keeping score at home, Ken is the ever-outspoken helios. He and I started exchanging e-mails afterward, discussing — among other things — how to get GNU/Linux (thank you) in front of everyday people who would benefit from being out from under the thumb of Microsoft's monopoly.
A result of these discussions is our partnership in HeliOS Solutions, where I do what he does in Texas on the West Coast, down to initiating a Komputers4Kids program in Felton. Another result is the project called Lindependence 2008, which we had discussed ad nauseum starting late last summer and had refined through the fliter of The Tux Project in the meantime.
So if you were to tell me a few years ago that I'd be teaming up with a Army vet on a project to save the digital realm for FOSS, I would have laughed myself into a new pair of underwear. If you were to tell Ken that he'd be teaming up with a tree-hugging, pony-tailed hippie, he'd probably have the same reaction.
Yet here we are, and that's where we should be: United for the operating system, whatever we choose to call it, and united for the promotion of FOSS programs that work as well, and in some cases better, than proprietary software it should replace.
If our partnership is a testament to anything, it shows that promoting GNU/Linux and FOSS transcends background, upbringing and politics. In fact, it even transcends sports in general and, as much as I hate to admit it, baseball in particular.
(And, Ken, Texas did too cheat in the Rose Bowl . . . )

Blogger Fakes Pregnancy and Infant Death
Beccah Beushausen fooled thousands with her lie
-Stephanie Elliot
When Beccah Beushausen blogged about her pregnancy and her fetus who was terminally ill, she was inundated with support from the blogging community. Turns out, Beccah was not pregnant and had created the whole story in order to (one can only assume) gain an audience, solicit blogging comments, and get sympathy from readers.
With real-life blogging tragedies, such as the Spohr family, who lost their beloved daughter, Maddie, in April, and Matt Logelin's blog, who is raising his daughter alone after his wife Liz died the day after childbirth, one would think that only a person with a very sick mind would fabricate such a tragedy as the one Beccah Beushausen created.
Yet she did. And the response to her made-up plight was amazing. Since Beccah's "baby" was diagnosed as terminally ill in the womb, thousands of abortion opponents lauded her as a hero. Others who suffered the same tragedy reached out to Beccah, there were campaigns to help her, people sent gifts, advertisers were lurking, just waiting for the right moment to approach Beccah.
But because of a glitch in Beccah's horribly schemed and sick plan, the world caught on. When she gave birth to the "baby" at home, whom she named "April Rose", she published a photo holding the dead child, who apparently had died hours after the birth. An astute fan of Beccah's blog noticed something was amiss in the photo, and not just that it was a dead baby. It was a fake baby.
Elizabeth Russell, a dollmaker from Buffalo, had been a follower of Beccah's story and when the photo came out, she knew immediately that there was no baby.
"I have that exact doll in my house," said Russell. "As soon as I saw that picture, I knew it was a scam."
And what does Beccah have to say about it all? In an interview on ChicagoTribune.com, she said, "I know what I did was wrong. I've been getting hate mail. I'm sorry because people were so emotionally involved." Beccah said she had always liked writing. "It was addictive to find out I had a voice that people wanted to hear."
"Soon I was getting 100,000 hits a week, and it just got out of hand," she said. "I didn't know how to stop … One lie led to another."
Yes, one lie led to another, and because of this snowball-of-an-internet lie, thousands of people were duped into believing this young woman was suffering and in need of help. She certainly is in need of help, but not for the reasons everyone was conned into believing.
There are no rules for blogging, and a person can write freely about anything she chooses, but when you manipulate the feelings of others for your own benefits, and without consideration to those reading, then that's wrong.
We took to the cyber streets to hear what other mommy bloggers think about this hoax:
I'm torn about this one. On one hand, she obviously manipulated her readers both emotionally and financially. On the other hand, I feel sorry for her because she's clearly in need of some sort of validation on a personal level. – Maureen Lipinski, author, A Bump in the Road, www.nowthatyoumentionit.com
Only a non-mom would have time to make up blog posts! I barely have time to write my real posts. – Amy, Snarky Mommy
Disgusted doesn't even begin to cover it, and pissed off, and I'm looking at her and thinking she needs some serious mental health help. I would also like to see her prosecuted for fraud unless she returns every single item she received. There are some things you just don't joke about. With blogging, you do help people and you really do care and you build real friendships … you want to help people. The blogging community does care, and to take advantage … is awful. There's always going to be scam artists, but to take advantage of that situation is an evil act. – WeaselMomma
Unfortunately, this happens more often than we like to think. I have been "had" by a poser online, too. Someone who stole my heart and drew me in looking for support and prayer. I cried with this person, got angry that she was dying and prayed my ever-loving heart out only to find out … she was a BIG FAKE!
I have a hard time believing things people tell me online anymore. The sad part is, this poor girl is still hurting, is still in need of love, support and prayer and I am not sure she is getting it from anyone. I am still angry and know I should contact her but I am not ready. I still pray for her but I am still angry. It's one of those things you are SURE you would never fall for … and then you do. – Michelle Kemper Brownlow, My Semblance of Sanity
Sadly, this fake mom blogger's story will likely keep real mom bloggers from helping each other out. As they spend more time vetting other bloggers and less time lending a hand, social media will become decidedly anti-social. – Jen Singer, author, Stop Second-Guessing Yourself, creator of MommaSaid.net
After being caught as a fraud, Beccah posted this on her blog:
"I lied and I am not trying to hide that, nor am I trying to minimize it. Worse still, I lied to a community of people whose only intention was to support me through this time and that is wrong, and for that I am sorrier than you could know."
Is Beccah's apology enough? If you were a victim of her scam, how would you feel about it? How do you feel about the fact that she lied about having a baby, about giving birth, and about a baby who died? I think Beccah is in serious need of some quality medical help; there's no excuse nor reasoning for something like this, and she should face some sort of consequence for what she did. Although I don't know what she should do – perhaps volunteer her time helping mothers carrying terminally ill children. That might make her understand the severity of her acts.
And I definitely know that if she gets a book deal out of this, there is seriously something very wrong in our world!

While working on the doctoral dissertation, the student interacts extensively with JGS faculty, seeking advice from faculty with whom the student shares research interests. A dissertation chairperson will be typically selected by the student by the end of his/her second year of study. With the consultation of this dissertation chairperson, the student will typically select his or her dissertation committee members during the third year of his/her study. The dissertation committee members help the student formulate and pursue his or her dissertation topic. Working on the dissertation involves two important milestones. The first involves the defense of a dissertation proposal that explains the nature of the student's planned dissertation research. When the student has developed a written dissertation proposal that his or her advisor judges is ready for oral defense, a formal proposal defense before the dissertation committee is held. At the defense, the student proposes his/her dissertation idea, discusses its significance to the development of knowledge and explains the research methods to be used and any preliminary results. JGS doctoral students will typically propose their dissertation defense proposal by the end of their third year of study. The second and final milestone is the dissertation defense. When the written dissertation is judged complete by the student's advisor, it must be defended orally in a final dissertation defense before the dissertation committee and the general Rice community. Doctoral Dissertation Committee There is no formal process for creating a dissertation committee. As a student progresses to the dissertation stage (typically after the end of the second year), he or she begins working with a faculty advisor. The advisor may be one of the student's summer paper advisors. This advisor typically then becomes the chairperson of the student's dissertation committee. As the student develops the dissertation, he or she selects other members of the committee on the advice of the chairperson, or by approaching other faculty members who have shown interest in the dissertation topic. The JGS rules regarding committee membership are as follows:
Members of the dissertation committee change only in exceptional circumstances. Scheduling the Dissertation Proposal and Dissertation Defenses

DETROIT, Mich. - You wouldn't expect the season to end any other way. The University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team battled to the final buzzer. Unfortunately, a late rally and the game-tying three fell short as time expired. The second-seeded Quakers lost at top-seed Detroit, 71-68, in the WBI Semifinals on Wednesday night at Calihan Hall.
Penn (18-13) finished with the second-most wins in program history. Detroit (20-13) moves on to play the winner of McNeese State and South Dakota in the WBI Championship game.
Against a Detroit team that has lost just one of its 15 home games this season, Penn battled back from a 14-point deficit in the final six minutes and a six-point deficit in the final 20 seconds, but a last second game-tying three hit the front of the rim and bounced away as time expired.
It was a fast-paced first half. Detroit scored the first four, but sophomore Kathleen Roche, who finished with a team-high 19 points, hit a three to get the Quakers going.
For much of the game, the Quakers deployed an effective full court press.Freshman Keiera Ray got an early steal and an easy layup for Penn's first lead, then junior captain Alyssa Baron scored seven straight for the Quakers for a 12-9 edge at the 15:54 mark.
Penn took its largest lead of the game when junior Courtney Wilson hit a three for a 20-14 advantage near the midway point of the half. But Detroit scored 10 in a row to go back up four.
It went back-and-forth from there. In all, the lead changed hands 12 times in the first 20 minutes and there were six ties in that span. Senior captain Brianna Bradford hit a three with 30 seconds left to put Penn up 34-32, but Shareta Brown, who finished with a game-high 32 points, drilled a three at the buzzer to send the Titans into the half with a 35-34 edge.
Penn dug a deep hole to start the second half. The Quakers went more than eight minutes without a field goal and the Titans built a 14-point lead, 51-37.
Bradford broke the drought with a three at the 11:18 mark, but Detroit traded baskets with the Quakers over the next five minutes.
Penn began to chip away with just over six minutes left. A quick five points on a pair of free throws from Ray and a three from Roche brought the deficit down to single digits, 60-52, with 5:14 left.
Detroit scored to make it a 10-point game again, but another quick five points - four from sophomore Katy Allen and another Roche free throw - cut the Titans lead to 62-57 with 2:41 remaining.
With the press on, Ray came away with another steal and hit two more free throws to make it a three-point game. Detroit made a free throw, but Roche hit two at the other end and Penn found itself down just two, 65-63, with 46 ticks to go.
On the next possession, Ray was called for a highly debated intentional foul on a breakaway layup. Detroit made all four free throws to lead 69-63 at the 22-second mark.
But Penn still refused to give up. Roche was fouled attempting a three and made each free throw. Then Detroit made one of two from the charity stripe. Baron then took the ball coast-to-coast for a layup to get Penn within two, 70-68, with six seconds remaining.
With 4.7 seconds on the clock, Detroit went to the line and made the first. But missed the second. Allen corralled the rebound, passed ahead to Ray, who got halfway between halfcourt and the three-point line. But Penn's last shot of the season bounced high off the rim and harmlessly away.
Roche made three threes and added four rebounds in 28 minutes. Baron and Ray each added 12 points apiece, while Allen had eight, sophomore Kara Bonenberger had seven and Bradford added six. Baron had a team-best six rebounds and Ray finished with a game-high five steals.
Penn was just 6-of-22 in the second half and finished the game 19-of-55 (34.5%), including 7-of-23 (30.4%) from three. Detroit was 22-of-46 (47.8%) overall and 6-of-14 (42.9%) from three. Penn had just nine turnovers and forced 19. The Quakers dropped the rebounding battle, 39-31, and were outscored 28-18 in the paint, but held a 12-0 advantage in fastbreak points.
It marked the final game in the Red and Blue for senior captains Bradford and Katie Davis. They graduate as the only class in program history to improve their win total every season.
In its fourth season, the WBI is a 16-team tournament split into two regions. Minnesota, who qualified for the WNIT this season, is the defending champion. Penn, who topped Howard in the first round and Fairfield in the quarterfinals for its first postseason wins in program history, is the first Ivy League team to earn a berth in the WBI.

Start with the forum faq section and work through it. Also what and why are you trying to change on your wifi card?
Is this card compatible? How long have you worked with Linux?
I was trying to make some changes to my wifi-card by writing:
# modprobe -r iwl3945
# modprobe ipwraw
Then i lost my internet connection.
I when i tried to restart my computer it said: exeption Emask 0X0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0BMDMA stat 0x24
failed command: READ DMA
cmd *heck of a lot of numbers*
res *same here*
status: { DRDY ERR }
error: { UNC }
This goes on and on so I never got any opportunity to write anything or login.
(I dualbooted it with xp from the install.sh from the live cd)
It there any way i can do "driver recovery" or such from the live cd or get into the folder where the changes where made from the cd and recover them?
Start with the forum faq section and work through it. Also what and why are you trying to change on your wifi card?

To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
I've been using ubuntu for a while but I like backtrack better.
yeah my card is suppose to be compatible.
I try to work on the faq to learn it fully but as i tried to configure the card the system broke down so i need to recover it so i can keep using it to learn.
Hope you get the point
but still, is there any way to "restore" it or "recover" it so the drivers are default without having to boot it from the drive (since that doesn't work)
This is indicative of a hdd issue. It could be hardware error, software error, dma controller error, hdd controller error, or any other interconnected component. The looping messages you're seeking are kernel printfs. You'll be able to log-in if the system successfully boots; you won't be able see it, however. There's a way to turn this behavior off. When booting in grub, modify the kernel command line arguments as follows:
1) remove the 'quiet' specifier
2) where 'quiet' was, replace with 'loglevel=0'
3) attempt to boot the system (this might never happen if the hdd is b0rk)
Once it's booted, have a go at diagnosing the problem using the hdd diagnostics utilities (hdparm, fsck, etc.). It may just be a messed up filesystem that can be repaired. Alternately, you might be able to turn off the dma support in the hdd and see if that fixes the error message (use dmesg and tail /var/log/messages to monitor).
Modprobe _should_ only affect currently running systems. It does not make changes persistent; for that you'll have to edit some initialization configuration files.

Have you hurt your child's confidence?
A question to all, do you think you've done or said something that could have hurt your child's confidence?

I'm sure that every mum has said something she wished she hadn't, but the wonderful things is that children are so very resilient. Do keep in mind that it takes 7 positive statements to counteract 1 negative comment, so if you do find that you've said something you wished you hadn't, you can then make a point to make a few positive comments to help boost that self esteem again.
Warm regards,

Yes, you can freeze cookies decorated with buttercream icing, but they need to be stored flat and in a single layer. Stacking the cookies on top of each other will smash the buttercream icing.

One common mistake operators make is purchasing a soft-serve machine that is an inappropriate size. Here are two other common mistakes foodservice operators should avoid when purchasing this type of foodservice equipment.
Capacity, menu, and space and utilities represent three factors foodservice operators should take into consideration when specifying an ice cream machine.
Ice cream machines are typically specified by size, which can range from two to 14 cones a minute. It is important to estimate the number of servings per day, but also to assess the location's traffic well enough to know if a high-volume situation may happen once or more each day. High-volume locations may want to consider pressurized equipment to maintain consistent product quality.
The freezing cylinder size provides one indication of the frozen product capacity. The hopper size is where liquid mix is stored before freezing. Refrigeration systems should be evaluated by the heat removal capabilities or Btus per hour. It's important to note that compressors could have the same horsepower rating, but have different heat removal capabilities.
Evaluate the menu items that would use soft-serve ice cream. What serving sizes will be available, and how many flavors will be available each day? Single flavor and two flavors with a twist models are available.
Smaller operations with limited space may only be able to accommodate a countertop unit. Adequate air clearance also should be evaluated in the space.
The electrical service at the location must have enough amperage to handle the equipment. Most soft-serve equipment is nominally 220 volt, usually available in either single or three phases.

We just had a thai coach (son yodyut) over for three months and the he spend lots of time emphasising footwork and foot placement stuff, same stuff happened when i trained at sasiprapa in BK last year. Again if you dont now what your looking at in a thai fight you might be missing the footwork aspect as it is much more subtle to boxing.
Its best done early in training other wise you will be correcting bad habits later on, and whe you get it down it makes everythig else easier. (in some ways footwork in striking is the equivalant to positions in grappling, you dont get the footwork down in striking your positioning and striking will be off, you dont get the postions down in grappling your submissions will be practically useless) Good work is the foundation for effective, efficent striking and makes a difference to timing of shots which might be the most important aspect of striking.
Other way to think about it is if you get two guys fighting one with really good footwork and one with inferior footwork, the one with footwork can out position and land more shots while taking less.

anembryonic ovum
I had a miscarriage in August. The placenta had formed but there was no life in it. The term they used was anembryonic ovum. What are the reasons or possible causes of an anembryonic ovum?

Dear sonu84,
Once again, please accept my sympathies. I'm so sorry you had a miscarriage.
An anembryonic ovum is also known as a blighted ovum. It happens where a pregnancy sac develops but sadly no embryo goes on to form and develop in this (so no heartbeat would be seen at an ultrasound scan).
There is still a lot of research going on into blighted ovums. The main cause is believed to be a problem with the number of chromosomes in the fertilised egg. The pregnancy would sadly never develop with this particular chromosome problem. Please take heart that it is highly, highly unlikely that anything you did or did not do have an affect on the pregnancy. Also please take heart in the fact that most women who experience a blighted ovum go on to have a successful pregnancy (it is rare to have more than one blighted ovums).
Here is a factsheet on anembryonic pregnancies produced by the Miscarriage Association.
Thinking of you,

Pharrell's new album track list reveals Daft Punk collab
Listen to Daft Punk on iHeartRadio | Listen to Pharrell on iHeartRadio
After Pharrell has appeared on Daft Punk's Grammy-winning album Random Access Memories, it looks like the robots are returning the favor.
Pharrell revealed the track list to his upcoming album G I R L, and among the list of songs is a Daft Punk collaboration called "Gust of Wind."
The robots are known for their outstanding production skills, but on "Gust of Wind," they actually contribute vocals.
After listening to Pharrell's new album, "NME" gave some insight into what fans can expect:
"Pharrell's favourite track - the lyric came to him in a dream - is another widescreen epic, all Bond-ish string surges and French Touch beats. It's about how he can feel his lover's emotions when he opens the window and puts his hands into the breeze. The euphoria of the hook is contrasted with a certain sense of awe-struck unease in the verses. Is there a part of that atmosphere, and perhaps even a smidgen of the melody, that he's lifted from Helen Reddy's spookily mysterious 40-year-old hit 'Angie Baby'? With a knowledge of pop as deep and broad as Williams's - and, given that it's a song about a "special lady" with mystical powers who uses loud music to defend herself against an evil male attacker - it's certainly possible. This track's backing vocalists? It's only Daft Punk."
Given the success of Random Access Memories and its Pharrell collabs "Get Lucky" and "Lose Yourself to Dance," "Gust of Wind" sounds like it will be another hit for the robots and Pharrell.
G I R L is set to be released on March 3rd.

'Asked whether he worried the casino would siphon disposable income now spent on the Sabres, who play a stone's throw from the casino site, Golisano said he doubted it would have a negative effect. "It might even have a positive effect," he said. "I'm not concerned whatsoever about the Sabres," said Golisano, who made a point to hold the news conference away from the HSBC Arena. "This issue is so much larger than the Buffalo Sabres."'
