IT WILL be a nailbiting night for a teenage folk trio who are set to find out whether they have scooped a prestigious award.
Granny's Attic have been nominated for the Young Folk Award at the Radio 2 Folk Awards being held at the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow night (Wednesday).
Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne, George Sansome and Lewis Wood, who met at Bishop Perowne CofE Performing Arts College, are one of four bands to be nominated for the award.
They are up against competition from Hattie Briggs, Gentlemen of Few and The Mischa Macpherson Trio.
The trio, who formed in 2009 and take their name from a stall at Claines Church fete, will be in London for the awards.
Granny's Attic were selected after attending a gruelling performance weekend in Kendal, Cumbria where they were pitted against ten other bands for a place on the shortlist.

Fabuloso is a wonderfully complete live aboard cruising cat. The current owner of the boat came to me last year, and wanted to spend one season sailing with his family. We discussed at length the best option for him, from the perspective of comfort, livability, and resale. This led us to Fabuloso. This boat has been in our company's family since it was delivered. It is a fully equipped, clean, and oh so inviting yacht. The current owner, who is a great yachtsman, has had a great trip, and is now ready to turn the boat over again. It is currently laying in the Caribbean, but will be deliverable either in May/June in Florida, or New England (with some flexibility) At this price point, the FP Belize owner's version was simply one of the very best boats available.

Any internet shops got these shorts in size 30??
I actually measure a size 31 waist but I would prefer 30 than 32, I can find 32s on a few of the websites but not 30s, apart from one place where they are about 15 quid more than everywhere else.
If any of you have got a 30 left then please let me know.

A side note: The terminal command lsmod will list all drivers currently in use by backtrack, [looking for RTL8187 in that list is] a useful way to test whether your alfa card is connected or not.

Witt's Career Night Leads K-State to 9-1 Victory
Witt's Career Night Leads K-State to 9-1 Victory
April 2, 2013
Final Stats | Photo Gallery | Highlights
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State's Tanner Witt registered a 5-for-5 performance with a home run and four RBI, leading K-State to a 9-1 win over Nebraska Tuesday evening at Tointon Family Stadium.
With the win, the Wildcats improved to 19-10 and have won six-straight home games. The eight-run victory was the biggest margin over NU since a 13-5 triumph on April 10, 2010, and allowed K-State to win its first season series over the Huskers since a sweep in 2010. The finale of the three-game non-conference series will be April 23 in Lincoln. Nebraska fell to 11-16.
Witt eclipsed his career-high in hits by two with his outing, as the senior had 11 times produced three-hit games prior to Tuesday. Witt, who tied his career-high in RBI and was a triple short of the cycle, doubled and scored in the first inning and hit just his third career home run in the third. The solo home run was his first since April 28, 2010, breaking a homerless drought of 473 at-bats.
Witt also singled home a run in the fourth inning, singled and scored in the sixth, and put the game away with a two-out, two-run single as part of a three-run seventh inning that boosted the Wildcats' lead to seven.
"It was disappointing over the weekend where we thought we were in position to win two or three and we couldn't finish games off," head coach Brad Hill said. "Tonight that was the message, and the guys really took to it. Tanner had just a tremendous night for us. It's hard to get two or three hits in a game, let alone keeping it together and getting five. His last hit was the one that really put the last nail in the coffin with the two RBI. We didn't get the hit before that, and he gets the big two-out hit to put the game away for us."
A product of Hawthorn Woods, Ill., Witt is the second Wildcat this season with five hits in a game, which is one shy of the school record. Shane Conlon recorded five hits on February 21, against No. 8 Kentucky, marking the first time in Hill's 10 years at K-State that the Wildcats have had two five-hit games in the same season. Additionally, Witt and Conlon are the only two Big 12 players this year with as many as five hits in a game.
"I'm feeling good," Witt said about his offensive approach. "I've been working on my swing a lot after struggling at the beginning of the season. I've put extra work in with Coach (Mike) Clement, and I'm finally starting to feel more comfortable at the plate. When I was struggling, I was really anxious, but now I'm more relaxed."
Witt also tossed a scoreless ninth inning with a strikeout as he was the final of five K-State pitchers that limited Nebraska to only an unearned run on five hits. Starting pitcher Blake McFadden (2-1) earned the win in a predetermined start as he allowed just one hit over three scoreless innings with two strikeouts.
"He's been pitching better and better each time out," Hill said of his freshman right-hander. "He's been getting more confidence in himself. We're getting more confidence in him."
Nebraska scored its run off Nate Williams in the fifth inning, but the right-hander allowed only one hit and struck out two batters over three innings of work. Levi MaVorhis and Jake Matthys followed Williams by pitching an inning apiece.
All five K-State pitchers found the strike zone consistently as the Wildcats did not walk a batter for the fifth time this season.
RJ Santigate and Jon Davis each tallied two-hit games. Davis was also hit by a pitch for the 13th time this season to move into a tie for eighth place in K-State history. He has now been hit by a pitch 26 times in his career, tying him for fifth place in that category in program history .
K-State began its scoring in the first inning on a Jared King RBI single, while Witt's homer and a Davis run-scoring base hit in the third inning made the score 3-0. Following Witt's RBI single in the fourth inning, Mitch Meyer recorded a two-out RBI in the sixth on a single to right field, putting K-State on top 5-1.
K-State's three-run seventh inning began with a Joe Goodwin pinch-hit RBI single and was capped by Witt's two-run single. Austin Fisher registered a two-out RBI base hit to left field in the eighth inning to complete the scoring.
Nebraska starting pitcher Tyler King (1-1) suffered the loss as he surrendered three runs on five hits in three innings of work. Catcher Tanner Lubach drove home the lone Husker run on a RBI ground out in the fifth inning.
The Wildcats continue their six-game homestand Wednesday with a 6:30 p.m., contest against Omaha at Tointon Family Stadium. The game will be shown nationally on Fox College Sports, while free live audio can be heard at both www.k-statesports.com and www.1350kman.com.
Fans can order tickets online at www.k-statesports.com/tickets, by phone at 1-800-221-CATS or at the Tointon Family Stadium box office beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Menzerna Polishing Compounds
> Menzerna Medium Cut Polish 2400 128 oz.
Menzerna Medium Cut Polish 2400 128 oz.
Concentrated abrasive action for today's scratch-resistant, ceramic clear coats.
Note: Menzerna Medium Cut Polish 2400 is the new version of Menzerna Super Intensive Polish (SI 1500). Menzerna has changed the name and label, but it is the same product you know and love. It is currently only available to select U.S. retailers.
Menzerna Medium Cut Polish 2400 is designed for the removal of scratches, swirls, and oxidation on the scratch-resistant clear coats used by Mercedes Benz. Concentrated, specially milled abrasives remove 2000 grit sanding scratches to leave a brilliant shine with little or no hazing.
Note: Menzena Super Intensive Polish also goes by the part number Menzerna
but it has been shortened to
for simplicity by Menzerna USA, the US distribution office for Menzerna Polishes.
At the end of 2003, Mercedes Benz put into production a new scratch-resistant clear coat lacquer made up of nano-sized ceramic particles, which are baked and hardened in the paintshop oven, just like you'd bake pottery in a kiln. This process results in an extensively cross-linked, very hard paint finish that stands up better to mechanical car washes and day to day abuse. This clear coat, called CeramiClear from PPG, is the only nanotechnology clear coat used on Mercedes production lines and is approved for the repair of Mercedes and Nissans.
The problem with the ceramic clear coat is that it is harder to correct than the comparatively soft clear coats used by most other car manufacturers. Ceramic paint can still scratch; just not as easily. When a scratch does occur, not all the polishes on the market are capable of removing it from the new, hard-as-a-rock clear coats.
Menzerna Medium Cut Polish 2400 is formulated specifically for the new ceramic, scratch-resistant clear coats.
Menzerna developed a new family of abrasives that are better able to penetrate the hard paint and level imperfections. Super Intensive Polish is the most aggressive of this new breed of polishes, capable of removing 2000 grit sanding scratches.
Though this is a powerful polish, Menzerna Medium Cut Polish 2400 produces virtually no dust or haze.
The polish contains a high concentration of small abrasives, which allows the polish to work cleaner. The tiny abrasives blend away imperfections using consistent abrasive action, meaning the hundreds of abrasives are repeatedly passing over the blemish to gradually eliminate it. The results are smooth, glossy, haze-free paint.
On most paints, you can go straight from Menzerna Medium Cut Polish 2400 to finishing with a wax or sealant without any steps in between.
It leaves such a deep gloss, there's no need for a finishing polish in many cases.
Menzerna Medium Cut Polish 2400 can be used with a dual action or rotary polisher to remove defects quickly.
Note: Dark paints may require follow up with a finer polish. Use Menzerna Nano Polish, which is also formulated for scratch-resistant clear coats.
Menzerna Medium Cut Polish 2400 can be used on all types of paint, including conventional clear coats. Use it on fresh paint finishes (once fully cured) to eliminate any swirls or overspray. On older paint finishes, Menzerna Medium Cut Polish 2400 will remove moderate imperfections and refresh the color.
Menzerna Medium Cut Polish 2400 contains no silicone, waxes, fillers, or glaze. It's a water-based pure polish, which makes it ideal for a body shop or paint shop environment.
In the final analysis, Menzerna Medium Cut Polish 2400 is a step beyond the average polish in terms of cutting ability but its clean, haze-free finish is definitely representative of a polish. Regardless of its classification, it's the best choice for polishing and paint correction on today's hard, ceramic clear coats.
Application by Machine:
Make sure the surface to be compounded is clean and dry. Fresh paint should be fully cured. Apply Super Intensive Polish out of direct sunlight.
Use a wool or foam polishing pad, such as
Lake Country's CCS White Polishing Pad
Orange Light Cutting Pad
. The
Orange or Green Edge 2000 Pads
will also work well with Super Intensive Polish. Apply a 6 inch line of compound to the vehicle. With the polisher turned off, spread the polish over about a 2 x 2 sq. ft. area.
Polish at 1200-1800 RPM (5000-6000 OPM on a dual action polisher) working slowly across and then up and down the area. Check your work after several passes to see if the defect has been removed. If so, reduce the pressure and continue buffing until a high gloss is achieved. If the pad becomes dry, mist it with water and continue buffing.
Wipe the area with a damp microfiber cloth.
If necessary, follow with
Menzerna Nano Polish
to restore optimum gloss.
Always apply a wax or sealant after compounding or polishing. We recommend
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0
to seal in the shine with its long-lasting polymer formula.

Dowd and the Catholic Church scandal, a lesson in unchallenged claims
Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH
Anyone who has followed Media Matters' coverage of New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd knows that we've often taken exception with her work.
As someone who attended Catholic school for nearly a decade, I've been following the current crop of scandals surrounding the Church with great interest. As such, I've been routinely disappointed by those who claim or fail to challenge the claims of others that the ongoing problem of pedophile priests is really about homosexuality in the priesthood.
That is precisely the problem I have with Dowd's most recent column on the issue - an issue she's done an otherwise decent job covering. While she has been routinely critical of the way church officials have responded to the scandal, her latest work allows the previously stated onerous logic - that of her brother's -- to stand unchallenged.
As IrishCentral.com's Cahir O'Doherty notes:
In a recent article Dowd also published (without a clarifying comment) outrageously incendiary remarks her brother made stating that the international abuse crisis was due to accepting thousands of 'sexually confused' men into the priesthood.
Even more defamatory, Dowd repeated (again by proxy through her brother) author Michael Rose's paranoid contention that the liberalized rules of Vatican II set up a takeover of seminaries by a so-called Gay Mafia. Heterosexual priests and the orthodox, Rose's book claims, found themselves pushed to the margins by a massive international gay Catholic cabal.
Do the Dowds recognize how toxic this kind of claim is?
Rose's book isn't really known outside of far-right conservative Catholic circles for good reason: you'd have to be bonkers to believe it. In tone and content it's really not far from the language and spirit of the anti-Semitic tracts of the 1930's.
You can only believe that homosexuals are responsible for the crisis in the Church if you believe that homosexuals are indistinguishable from pedophiles. That's a blatantly hateful and ignorant contention, but the Dowds are hunting for scapegoats, not answers.
Does Dowd agree with her brother's sentiment? We get only her cryptic comment that she and her brother "agreed on some things." As O'Doherty correctly notes, Dowd doesn't challenge her brother's views much less respond to them with, you know, actual facts.
Allowing these specious claims to go unchallenged only further entrenches the unfounded bigotry some have against the LGBT community and for that, Dowd should be seeking penance from her readers.

Emma Stone Reveals Her Style Inspiration
Wondering where Emma Stone's style inspiration comes from? We've got all the deets!
-Lucia Peters
We've heard from actress, funnylady, and all-round spectacular person Emma Stone about her skincare and makeup secrets—but what about her style inspiration? Lucky for us, she just dished about fashion choices, her best pieces of advice, and more to Vogue UK!
Emma apparently counts among her most important pieces of style advice this little gem from her mom. "When I was a teenager and all the cool girls were wearing pajama pants at school, my mother forbid me to do that—or to let me bra straps show," Emma said. Mother really does know best!
Read Helen Mirren Finally Got a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
The actress also credits her stylist, Petra Flannery, for "being the voice of reason behind anything I've worn on the red carpet over the past few years." Noted Emma in the February issue of Glamour UK, "She knows that I won't dress like a fairy princess, wear a lot of glitter or anything that makes me look like a Victorian doll. If I could wear those things and not look like Dakota Fanning when she was eight, maybe, but I just don't look good in them." A woman after our own hearts.
Her favorite designers? Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, and Lanvin rank pretty highly for Emma, though she's also recently been introduced to a couple of top British talents. "Sarah Burton is such a nice woman, and I just met Christopher Bailey, who is the loveliest man," she said.
Tell us: What do you think about Emma's red carpet style? Love it or hate it?
Lucia Peters is BettyConfidential's associate editor.

S.C. Speaker: Hope is 'fundamental' to American dream
University of South Carolina linebacker Eric Norwood of Acworth, Ga., hopes to play professional football. Crystal Glover of Orangeburg is hoping to work in a hospital. Ian Stuart came to Carolina from Dallas, Texas, hoped for a job and found one in nuclear energy.
Their hopes and dreams are but a few among the 2,500 other graduates from the university's eight campuses who received their degrees during the December commencement ceremony Monday (Dec. 14) at the Colonial Life Arena.
Robert William "Bobby" Harrell, Speaker of the S.C. House of Representatives, told graduates, "Hope is fundamental to the American dream … As long as you continue to embrace hope, you'll stay young. Don't forget to dream."
Harrell, who was awarded an honorary degree of public service during the ceremony, shared three bits of advice with the graduates as they headed out on a journey "more exciting, more fun and more rewarding" than the journey that they had just completed.
"The first is don't forget your faith … every president of the United States would tell you that, even though he was the most powerful person on the planet, there were many times when he needed someone even more powerful to lean on for support," he said.

Monte Hancock had a successful 33-year career at L-3 Communications, with a perfect attendance record. He had many jobs at the large technology company, from running a huge wire wrap machine, which he often climbed to make repairs, to crawling deep inside military shelters to make repairs.
He has received many awards for the excellence of his work and letters of appreciation from military generals and former President Bill Clinton.
So he was shocked when he was turned down for a job as a school crossing guard because he supposedly is unqualified.
Why? He is in a wheelchair.
In 1955, he contracted polio, the same condition he had during his career at L-3 Communications, where he did several physically challenging jobs.
After retiring, Hancock applied to be a school crossing guard in his Kearns neighborhood to keep busy while his wife continues to work.
He didn't hear back right away, but last week received a call from the Unified Police Department asking if he was still interested.
He was excited for the opportunity to help schoolchildren safely cross the street. But when he mentioned to the officer who called that he's in a wheelchair, the officer said he couldn't do the job.
He has an electric wheelchair, which he can move by simply using his thumb on a button. That would enable him to hold the stop sign up while accompanying the kids across the street, he told the officer.
He also can get up on crutches to reach higher in case he needs to turn the crossing lights on and off.
But, as he explained why he was perfectly capable of doing the job, Hancock says the officer hung up on him.
"I've had to prove myself over and over," Hancock told me. "Everytime I got a new supervisor, I would be tested. And I always passed the test."
But this time, he didn't even get that chance.
"I can do this job," he said.
Slow to change? A large Reagan Outdoor Advertising billboard facing northbound lanes on State Street between 3300 South and 2700 South advertises a King Tut exhibit at the Idaho Museum in Idaho Falls.
If such an exhibit intrigues you and the sign prompts you to take a trip to Idaho Falls, don't bother. It isn't there.
The sign lists the dates of the exhibit as June 15-Nov. 24. But it doesn't mention that the exhibit was last year.
Risky parking spot • The popular Swiss Days celebration in Midway attracted a huge crowd, as it does every year, and patrons enjoyed the warmth and camaraderie from locals and the artisans there to sell their creations.
As usual, parking spots were difficult to find and cars were parked along the sides of the roads all through the town.
One home, however, had no cars parked in front.
A sign there said "Don't Park Here." It was accompanied by a picture of a man pointing a gun at you.

Art Fund COLLECT Award for Birmingham curators
Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery curators Fiona Slattery and Martin Ellis have successfully won funding from Art Fund COLLECT to purchase a contemporary object for BMAG's collection.
All eight short listed curators were awarded a share of the £75,000 on offer, allowing them to buy outright an object for their public collection.
Art Fund Collect takes place annually on the preview day of COLLECT, the Crafts Council's international art fair for contemporary objects.
Curators from the eight museums and galleries had special access to the fair at the Saatchi Gallery on May 5th, ahead of VIP and private buyers. They had just one hour to pick an object they wished to purchase, before presenting their selection to a panel of judges..
Stephen Deuchar, Director of the Art Fund, said: "We're delighted that all eight museums and galleries have chosen wonderful pieces this year. It's always a really exciting day, and a unique opportunity for curators from across the country to come together. We were so impressed by the curators' presentations and the vision and ambition they demonstrated. We hope their pieces will be enjoyed by the public for years to come."
Fiona Slattery and Martin Ellis, Curators of Applied Arts, selected Yukiai (Encounters), 2011 by young Japanese maker Naoki Takeyama, represented by the Yufuku Gallery. This crinkling vessel-shaped form is made from a single sheet of hand-pinched copper, which is then folded before layers of enamel are painted on. The piece is black with yellow flecks on the exterior, with a vivid turquoise interior. It cost £7,950.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
What's the most vital thing needed in a health-food store? Great cookies! Whole Foods' cookies are fashionably huge but also full of the natural ingredients natural women and men crave, like butter. Chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin are fab, but the chewy sugar cookies are especially addictive. Incidentally, the store's other stock is superior too: a mammoth selection of crisp fruits and veggies, including local and hard-to-find produce like frisee, plus organic seeds and herb plants, sparkling fresh fish, top-brand poultry, and meats both usual and unusual (buffalo burgers). There is kid-friendly health food such as Fran's fun frozen line of fish and chicken nibbles shaped like starfish and dinosaurs, and a selection of esoteric wines and beers that would do an upscale specialty liquor store proud. Also available: a huge choice of vitamins and natural cosmetics at very fair prices, as well as a prepared-foods department featuring dishes that not only look drop-dead gorgeous but taste great. Even the tofu! But really, it's the cookies that count.
C'mon, an overpriced sushi joint? We only have about a hundred of those, so why reward a new one? Well, friends, try out Nobuyuki Matsuhisa's dishes and then come back and tell us it wasn't worth every penny. So what if some whine about the décor. People! Style over substance has been Miami's cement shoes for too long. And so what if the super-fresh sashimi melted in your mouth so quickly and deliciously you almost forgot you just ate it. And who cares if chopsticks were used as weapons for the very last crumbs from the black codfish with miso. It doesn't matter. What does matter is this: Miami finally has a Matsuhisa masterhouse to return to over and over again for more of the same. For the first time in a while, a restaurant has opened that can truly contend with the best of the best.
A delicate rose fashioned from slender blush-pink slices of tuna. Carefully carved thin strips of cucumber wrapped around crab stick, avocado, masago, and shrimp. Wooden boats bursting with artfully arranged squares of fish. How fresh is it? Take a glance behind the sushi bar. If the huge white tuna slumped across the sink, ready for carving, is any hint, very.
Chocolate is not a bad or dangerous thing. Chocolate is good medicine for the brain, the blood, the sweet tooth. And the Sweet Tooth's chocolate is very good, made on the premises. From chocolate hearts and cherries to truffles and luscious creams, feast your eyes (did we mention chocolate improves night vision?) on the velvety array of goodies at this well-equipped chocolate clinic. The selection is so stunning, especially on holidays, you may be temporarily paralyzed. The Sweet Tooth people know how you feel and have thoughtfully prepared all kinds of beautiful and therapeutic gift baskets and boxes.
No, it's not really about the drinks. You've had those before. And it's not really about the décor, which is clean and fine but not spectacular. It's also not about the specials, because there aren't really official hours for happiness here. It's about the only reason people seek out happy hours to begin with: the scene. What? On Miracle Mile in the stuffy Gables, you might sneer? Yup. There's a new dawn in that part of town and it's raising a toast at the new Houston's after work. Good mix of cocktails, ages, ethnicities, sexes, economic positions. The men and women behind the bar are friendly, as are the people sitting next to you. Starting late in the afternoon on Friday often you won't find a stool or even standing room, so the party spills out into the street. If you need further proof this isn't the Gables of old, consider: Once you've downed your after-work libations, you can move on to other attractions. Huh? Life after 8:00 p.m. in the City Beautiful? Yes, truly a new dawn.
This is truly the hole-in-the-wall that has it all. Almost indistinguishable from the other storefronts along this part of North Miami Avenue, Clive's makes its mark at the cozy counter set up with great Jamaican favorites like curry goat, oxtail, and cowfoot. With ample food packed on a five-dollar special, this is a can't-miss deal every afternoon. The chicken is cooked to diner perfection and the curry is a smooth blend that avoids the fire-alarm spices of other native cuisines. The mood is laid-back, with a pleasant Mrs. P taking good care of the customers and a small radio pumping out reggae sounds. You just may catch Clive's fan Lenny Kravitz taking in the scene. Clive's is great for take-out but just as nice for a midafternoon stop to take it easy.

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury. Head coach Tom Coughlin told reporters that the injury is "the same type of thing," referring to Bradshaw's foot injury that kept him out last season. He is expected to return to practice on Thursday so the Giants are likely trying to give him as much rest as possible. With Andre Brown still out, rookie back David Wilson would play if Bradshaw is forced to miss any time.
Fantasy Analysis:
Bradshaw is permanently probable at a minimum, which usually means he's playing through injuries nearly every week. Wilson has looked good in his limited action and is worth a flier should Bradshaw end up being a game-time decision Sunday. Bradshaw has been on fire in his last two games with 349 total yards and two TDs. With Washington up next, it's another favorable matchup.

Did you know?
The ball at the back of a sangoma's headdress is the bladder of an
animal − usually a goat − slaughtered at the time of initiation.
There are two distinct types of sangoma. One is the herbalist, who functions as a traditional doctor − having learnt the healing properties of plants and potions. The other is the spiritualist − an African shaman − a visionary who makes contact with the ancestors in a trance state.
Visitors who want to learn more about these wise and spiritual people have many options open to them. In Johannesburg it's possible to visit the Faraday Muti Market to purchase herbs or concoctions for a variety of ailments, psychological or physical. You can also visit a consulting sangoma to have the bones thrown in a divination ritual to tell the future or answer a question.
If you're keen to learn more about the healing or spiritual properties of plants, people at the market are happy to share their knowledge.
The Maloti mountains around Ficksburg in the Free State are known as the 'Sangoma University', as many sangomas complete their training there. Sangomas from around the country do an annual pilgrimage to this site to collect herbs and get back in touch with nature and their ancestors. As cultural sensitivity is required, it's best to arrange a guided visit to the different sangomas, rather than trying to make contact yourself.
In Eshowe in Zululand a number of tour packages have been developed in association with the local community. Here it's possible to catch a rare glimpse of a sangoma initiation, trance and healing ceremonies.
The many cultural villages in South Africa are also home to sangomas, who will also tell your future by throwing the bones.
Sangomas are an essential thread in the rich cultural fabric of South Africa. Come with respect and it's possible you'll learn something about yourself as well.

How to get here
Soweto and the Faraday Muti Market are all easily accessible from Johannesburg, and visits can be arranged through many different tour companies. Eshowe has a private airport, but you can fly into King Shaka International Airport, Durban, or Richards Bay Airport and drive the rest of the distance. You can get to Ficksburg by road, but there is also a charming train journey to the area.

Premier-designate Frank Coleman is bowing out of politics, leaving the PC Party and the province's political scene in shambles.
Coleman said he was resigning because of "a significant and challenging family matter."
It's been a bruising few months since Coleman jumped into politics, and quickly became the province's next premier.
He was at the centre of a controversy on abortion, and then he was tied to a controversial government paving deal, where Coleman may have personally benefited from Transportation Minister Nick McGrath's decision to let Humber Valley Paving out of a money-losing contract.
Coleman said that his family is his top priority, and he felt that the family issues meant that he couldn't fully commit to the job.
This appears to leave interim-premier Tom Marshall stuck with the job for a little while longer. Marshall had said that he was going to resign in early July, opening up a seat for Coleman to run in.
Coleman holding news conference
Newfoundland premier-designate Frank Coleman is holding a news conference today at 2 p.m. in St. John's.
A news release today from his communications officer doesn't offer any further details. However, there are rumours that he may be stepping down from the PC leadership.
The Telegram is covering the news conference and will provide an update as soon as details are available.

What are the possible outcomes of this query (if it fails)...
SELECT MAX(comment_no) AS lastCommentNo
FROM comment
WHERE article_id = ?
I'm trying to build error-handling for it in PHP, and am not sure I understand the possible scenarios?! :-/
If nothing matches the criteria, you'll get a null result, so you need to be able to handle that accordingly.
But can a query like this in MySQL just "blow up", "crash", "burn", etc? :-/
(Maybe I don't really understand the inner workings of databases...)
I am trying to handle 3 - perceived - scenarios...
1.) The query find the largest "Comment No" for a given Article
2.) The query blows up
3.) The query finds no Comments for a given Article
My fear is that if I combine #2 and #3 together and just say "A NULL return is okay" that there might be something bad that could happen?!
Follow me??
The only time queries truly "blow up" is if you're trying something with discordant datatypes, like performing a numeric comparison with a character value, or trying to imply conversions for some of the larger datatypes (CLOBS to strings for example).
If you do a straight query, the normal result is a recordset, which will have rows if the conditions are met, and nothing if the conditions are not met.If you try to perform just an aggregate function like MAX() or MIN() for a condition that can't be met, the result set will be a null value.If you try to perform just an aggregate function like COUNT() OR SUM() for a condition that can't be met, the result set will be zero.
The easiest way to understand how the query to behave is to test it in the database (phpmyadmin, sql server management studio, etc.). Try the query where the conditions are met, and when they're not, and see how the resultsets are returned.
Hmm, okay.
These I knew.
Well, I did that, and I saw that the query returned "NULL" when there were no Comments, but my fear was how to handle things if things "blow up".
So, to frame this question better - although this is more of a programming question - how should my code handle things?
Using pseudo-code, I do this...
// Build query.
$q2 = "SELECT MAX(comment_no) AS lastCommentNo
FROM comment
WHERE article_id = ?";
// Bind result-set to variables.
mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt2, $lastCommentNo);
// Fetch record.
// Check # of Records Returned.
if (isset($lastCommentNo)){
// Maximum Found.
// Increment CommentNo.
$commentNo = $lastCommentNo + 1;
// Maximum Not Found.
// Thrown an Error.
If no one has commented yet on the Article, then my ELSE branch would fire, and that is okay, so in that scenario I should "Do Nothing".
However, you could argue that the query could also fail, and then in that case my ELSE branch would fire again, but this time it should throw an Error.
See my confusion?
What would you advise?
Actually, your logic is flawed - the $lastCommentNo would be set - it would be null, but it would be set....
It's not flawed.
In PHP, isset() determines if a variable is set and is not NULL.
That is what my code does.
I have been asking about the ELSE branch of my code, i.e. should I just set $lastCommentNo = 1 and call things acceptable, or do I get neurotic, and first run a query that checks the COUNT() of Comments, and if it is non-zero, THEN run the code above.
Your earlier post suggests that I can assume the SELECT MAX() won't "blow up", and so if I get a "NULL", then I can do as I suggest above...
You're right. That's the downfall to writing in different languages.
Why throw an error, though? No comments seems like a valid situation....
Again, because I was thinking that my SELECT MAX() could fail, and also return a NULL under some other condition besides there just simply not being any Comments.
I have decided this should be safe enough code...
// Build query.
$q2 = "SELECT MAX(comment_no) AS lastCommentNo
FROM comment
WHERE article_id = ?";
and so on...
// Fetch record.
// Check # of Records Returned.
if (isset($lastCommentNo)){
// Maximum Found.
// Increment CommentNo.
$commentNo = $lastCommentNo + 1;
// Maximum Not Found.
// Assume No Comments Exist.
$commentNo = 1;
If you're willing to cut corners you can do away with the if (isset(...)) { ... } else { ... } part and replace it with $lastCommentNo++, since if you have $var=null; $var++;, $var will be 1.
if (isset(...)) { ... } else { ... }
$var=null; $var++;
(whether this is mathematically correct is another thing, let's not go there).

Hi, I have a question that is Slax based but very BackTrack related. I am new to Slax and am still trying to figure it out. I am trying to modify the module from ophcrack live cd to put on BackTrack. I was able to get the ophcrack module off of ophcrack and modify it to include the launch and dump hash scripts. I was also able put the tables on my USB drive so that I could successfully run the launch script and automate the process of cracking my windows passwords.
Where I have a problem is with trying to add the launch script to the menu (kde is of more interest to me but flux would be nice too). Anyway I can't understand the BackTrack menu structure. The directories seem obvious enough but where are the menu items located? I want to add ophcrack to the offline password attacks but can't seem to figure out how to go about doing it with a module. I can use kmenuedit and add the item for temp use or save the session to make it work later but how can I add the menu item as a module? If I could figure this stuff out I would gladly add this as a module to the slax modules page as the ones there seem to not work.
Anyway if anyone could shed a little light on this I would appreciate it greatly.
P.S. BackTrack 3 is the bomb especially since I added ophcrack on it. I need to learn some more of the many nifty tools that are on there.

Rohtak Overview
You can reach Rohtak from Mysore by road in about using a cab upon driving using a cab.
Rohtak It is situated on Delhi Hisar N.H.10. The ruins of the ancient town at Khokrakot prove that perhaps the town is as old as Indus valley Civilization as the Minar finds at Khokhrakot are typical of Indus Valley sites. It is also Identified with Rohitika,mentioned in the Mahabharta. It was quite possibly the capital of Bahudhanyaka the kingdom of yaudheyas. In the vinaya of the Mulasarvasti-vadins, Jivaka is represented as taking journey from Taxila in the north west of Bhadramkara, Udumbasa, Rohitaka and Nathura in the Ganga Doab. The ancient highway carried the trade of the ganga valley to Taxila passing through Rohitika to Sakala.

Amazon just introduced new types of servers - larger ones. Until now it was a "one size fits all" model where you got half an Opteron CPU, 1.75GB of memory, and 160GB disk. Now you can get a server with two full Opteron cores, 7.5GB memory, and two 420GB spindles; or a server with four cores, 15GB memory, and 4x 420GB spindles. The new instances cost 4x and 8x the original ones ($0.40/hr and $0.80/hr).
Of course RightScale supports the new instance types. When you launch an image, you can select which type of instance you'd like to launch. However, the new machines run a 64-bit architecture and thus require a 64-bit Linux installation, meaning that none of the old machine images work on the new instances. RightScale to the rescue: we have a 64-bit CentOS image in beta called "Centos 5 64 V1_11_3" (ami-fbf31692). You can use it interchangeably with the 32-bit one. (We're producing a final RightImage today.)
With the advent of the new instance types I sincerely hope you've been building your servers using our ServerTemplates, because if you have, all you have to do is change the base image of your templates and it should run fine without any further changes. You don't have to rebuild all your images for 64-bits. The only gotchas are packages that you require that don't exist for X86_64 in the repositories, or binaries you may have attached to your RightScripts. We've had to tweak a few RightScripts to get our MySQL master and slave setup to run, but it was pretty painless and our customers have been really happy with the larger instances.
If you're reading this I'm sure you're dying to see your own website backed by two screaming MySQL servers on the x-large instances. Drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.

On any given night in New Orleans, you're likely to find a place with live music and free food. Sometimes it's red beans and trad jazz, other times it's BBQ and the blues. On this week's program, it's curry and the Pocket brass of Magnetic Ear, an ensemble headed by Martin Krusche, a sax player from Munich who now makes his home in the 9th ward of New Orleans.
Over 60 minutes, we'll be listening to Magnetic Ear, recorded live at the Blue Nile by WWOZ in New Orleans, as well as meeting up with bandleader Martin Krusche to find out how he made his way to New Orleans. And to sweeten the pot, we join Martin in his kitchen as he prepares the curry for his band mates and audience.

In addition to the databases and Web sites listed above, the Internet can be a valuable source of information. However, remember to think critically about the authority, accuracy, objectivity, currency, and coverage of the information you find.
- Internet Search Engines - (links to favorite search engines of CSUN librarians)
- SearchEngineWatch - (comprehensive directory of search engines by type)
- Evaluating Web Pages
Evaluating Internet Resources
Internet resources can be even more challenging to evaluate because dates and authors are not always readily available. Plus, we all know that anyone can create a website. Using the CRAAP test will help you thoroughly evaluate your source, but the following are some important things to consider when reviewing internet sources.
Who Created the Information?
Websites do not always have authors so you'll need to find information on who or what organization is responsible for creating and updating the webpage. The following are links to look for on webpages that should provide more information on who is behind the website.
- "About Us": usually provides information about the organization or company that is responsible for the webpage.
- "Mission Statement": this will provide information on what the organizations values or goals are.
- "Contributors": provides information on who contributes content to the website, sometimes they'll even list the qualifications of their contributors. This section may also provide information on who funds either the website or the organization. *Beware of websites like Wikipedia where anyone can create an account and edit webpages.
Publication Dates
Finding the date a website was created or last updated can be difficult sometimes. If you can't find a date on a particular webpage, click around and look at the other resources on their website, can you find a date anywhere? Are there links to other sources that are out of date or dead links?
URL Domain Extensions
The following is a list of the most popular domain extensions, which can be used to help determine authority and objectivity. However, domain extensions alone cannot determine if a web source is quality or if it's right for your research.
.gov - Government. The intent of the site is to present official information collected by or about the workings of a government.
.edu - Educational institution. The intent of the site is to educate as well as present information collected by or about the educational institution. *Look out for student work or papers that haven't been published in an authoritative source.
.com - Commercial. The intent of the site is to sell goods or services, as well as provide information about the company.
.org - Organization, usually non-profit. The intent of the site is to present information collected by or about the organization. Sometimes, the intent of the site is to promote a particular point of view. *For more information about the organization check out Idealist.org.
.net - Network, usually personal Web pages. The intent of the site is as varied as the individual(s) responsible for the content. *Usually not scholarly in nature, so if it is a personal page then make sure you research who that person is and what their qualifications are.
A more complete list of top-level domains is also available.
When to be skeptical?
- There is no author or organization associated with the website.
- There are a lot of advertisements and pop-ups. Just because a website looks professional does not mean that it's authoritative.
- Websites that ask you to take some sort of action: donate money, sign a petition, give your email, etc.
- A website that only cites itself, providing links that only lead you to other resources within the site.

High-Altitude Training Masks
Commercial devices are available that purportedly help a person acclimatize to high altitude while they are still training at normal atmospheric pressure, but their effectiveness is questionable.
High-altitude training masks simulate a reduced oxygen environment in order to produce "normobaric hypoxia"—oxygen deprivation similar to that at high altitude, but at normal atmospheric pressure. Although normobaric-hypoxic training may induce some of the physiological adaptations of altitude acclimatization, these are only evident in a normobaric environment—i.e., at normal atmospheric pressure. At altitude, these devices produce only a small reduction in susceptibility to acute mountain sickness, and no improvements in sleep quality or performance have been reported in published peer-reviewed studies.
Decreasing the barometric pressure while reducing the oxygen content of air, as in hypobaric-hypoxic training, is an evidence-based practice used to acclimate prior to altitude exposure, but it requires special equipment and medical oversight.
In summary, normobaric-hypoxic training with easily available commercial devices is problematic in terms of oversight, expense, and potential risks in unfit individuals and those with cardiac or pulmonary conditions, hemoglobin abnormalities, hypertension, or other health issues. Use by those who are unfit or have medical concerns is not well studied, but possible complications have been voiced. More detail is available in the summary by Stephen Muza, Thermal and Mountain Division, US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine.
For additional information on altitude acclimatization, visit HPRC's Overview on the subject, as well as other resources recommended on the HPRC website.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by The Realist, Jan 2, 2012.
Sign Carl Nicks and Michael Griffin.
1) DeCastro G
2) Minnifield CB
3) Jones C
4) Tru CB
Sorry, 1st rounder wont happen, the cardinals pick ahead of us, even though were both 8-8 record and cardinals beat us. Cards pick 13th and we pick 14th and being said cards want decastro too.
Way too early to state who the Cards will take. They need a ton of help as well.
Even some of the CB prospects would be acceptable at #14.
So trade up for him.
I'm already gonna make it clear I want no part of a trade down.
Didn't want it last year, don't want it this year. Identify your target, go get him if you have to.
Sorry, Levi Brown has been a massive bust for them at LT and he is free agent. That may have something to do with who they take in 1st round. And it's not like we can't move up as we have in recent years for the guy we really wanted.
AZ signed Hadnot to 3 year deal in 2010 and Colledge to 5 year deal in 2011.
LT is way more of a pressing issue for them. Not to mention QB.
Supposedly they have been pretty interested in Riley Reiff from Iowa.
The Cardinals will be hard pressed to pass up addressing the OL again this year when they have been vocal about missing out on it the last couple. Likely both the top OT's in this draft will be off the board and arguably DeCastro is the 3rd best OL in this draft.
They are someone we need to worry about if we are really targeting DeCastro.
With the depth of guards this year, I would rather get one later with all of our other needs. Plus, I really don't see Jerry taking a guard in the first round, heck I would rather get a RT and move Free instead if I'm picking an OL in the first round again.
Totally agree....I'd pass on cb's as well (many in FA) and focus on dline and olb. You can get a good guard in the third round this year.
I'll take Decastro over any guard in the third round. Decastro is pretty much a can't miss prospect as you can get and the best OG to come out in recent memory. Don't leave it to chance.
CB depth will be there in the second round. In terms of a pass rusher to potentially replace Spencer, you can find those niche guys later.
We can't let them get us again. They snubbed Peterson from year. We need to move up to possibly #12 if we have to.
Yeah, that's why Decastro is a first round prospect, and rated over 3rd round guards. That doesn't mean he is the best pick for this team.
This D showed me yesterday that they need far more than 'depth'. A pass rusher isn't a niche player, probably one of the most important players and highest paid on a D.
The homer in me thinks I will automatically start docking a point to each mock draft that does not include Vinny Curry or Bruce Irvin.
If I can find a way to get Irvin in I will because I debate the heck out of him every time I do one.
Let me make it easier. 3rd round or lower which is possible unless he tears up the combine.
That's my issue, I really dont see him making it to round 3 and I have problem pegging him in round 2.
Can you do a mock for me where we get Claiborne?
1. Colts: Andrew Luck | QB | Stanford
2. Browns: (trade with St. Louis): Robert Griffin | QB | Baylor
3. Vikings: Matt Kalil | OT | USC
4. Rams: Justin Blackmon | WR | Oklahoma
5. Bucs: Trent Richardson | RB | Alabama
6. Redskins: Landry Jones | QB | Oklahoma
7. Jaguars: Quinton Coples |DL | North Carolina
8. Dallas (trade with Miami) Morris Claiborne | CB | LSU
Only way I see it happening
How much better is Clai than Kirkpatrick?
Enough to warrant a trade up?

Is there a way to determine which pages of a website are not being indexed by the search engines?
I know Google Webmasters has a sitemap area where it tells you how many urls have been submitted and how many are indexed out of those submitted. However, it doesn't necessarily show which urls aren't being indexed.
Blog guy,
There is not a tool that will do this for you nor is there any kind of easy process. There is however a thread on SEOMoz about doing this using multiple tools. It sounds kind of tedious but it may help you,
Just google the URL with quotes around it. If its been indexed it will return a result.
go to google and search for site:your url. if the page is indexed you will get the result on the search result.
Google Webmaster tool also serves the purpose effectively. It will show you a bar chart of number of links submitted and number of links indexed. Also, as Eric Watson mentioned, Google the URL you think is not indexed and if results is returned against the query, it means the link is indexed otherwise not.
One simple way is just copy url and google it in search engine. If your url is indexed then it displays the page or else it is not indexed.
You can check the cached urls by making a search in google with following syntax:
Site:yoursite ( replace your website url with yoursite and make a search in google as a result you will find the total number of index urls)
put some specific words in the metas and search the "words" in search engine few days later. Normally, if the page content is unique and not disallowed in robot, it should be indexed, the time depends on your site structure.
What if the site has like a million URLs?
YES YOU JUST SEARCH SITE:WEBSITE URL ON Google search box and than enter after that you will find out the index urls of your website.
RegardsAbhimanyu Poddar
As long as your robots.txt file is not preventing pages from being indexed, all of your pages that are being linked to directly or indirectly from the homepage should be indexed. Just because they don't rank doesn't mean they are not indexed.
You can search in google by cache:yourwebsite.com
2 ways that you can use to identified how many of pages are indexed, Do site:yourwebsite.com and check your website all inner pages Cache:yourwebsite.com. Cross check the figure with GWT, In GWT you can see the figure of submitted & indexed pages. Lil bit time consuming job.
I totally agree with you but you may also use some tools where you can know your page is indexed or no.
