The Fishing
The Bahamas are the bonefishing capital of the world.
The fishing on Abaco is of top quality and far less crowded than on the better-known island of Andros. The famous Marls on the west side of the island offer over 200 square miles of first-class bonefishing flats which also give anglers an occasional shot at permit and tarpon in the summer. On the east side the sandy flats at Cherokee Sound provide more great bonefishing options, including some gorgeous white-sand wading flats.
Whether wading alone on the flats, paddling a kayak or poling gently through the mangroves in a guided skiff, fishermen will enjoy many opportunities to cast to these most powerful but stealthy of fish.
The Delphi Club's guides are all experienced professionals and there will be few excuses for anglers not nailing a handful of bonefish from two or three pounds and up. While blank days can happen (in cloudy or windy conditions spotting the fish can be tricky), the bonefish are always there, year-round and feeding. And unsuitable weather rarely lasts for long.
The excitement and anticipation of bonefishing has no equal in the flyfishing world. Stalking these spooky fish in beautiful shallow waters, casting delicately to a cruising shadow and then trembling with tension as the reel screams out line to a fantastically powerful five-pounder is one of the most complete fishing experiences.
And visually bonefishing is a glorious enterprise, with diverse wildlife on the flats, stunning colours and frequently exquisite weather. Even if the fish are moody and disinclined to play, the whole experience of being out on the water, far away from civilisation, is deeply rewarding.
Bonefishing is a year-round activity, although it is generally best in good sunny weather, with not too much wind, when visibility is optimal. The Bahamas has a very benign climate throughout the year, with average monthly low/high temperatures ranging between 65 and 88 degrees farenheit.
As with any fishing, one can be unlucky with the weather for a few days, but cool, overcast or windy spells rarely last long in the Bahamas. Difficult weeks are possible, especially in the winter, and there are occasional hurricane threats in the summer. But for the great majority of the time the conditions for bonefishing are good or excellent

The locale.library provides us with tools to localize applications. Localized strings are stored in separate language catalog files. A user can enable one or more languages in the preferences editor "Locale". When a localized application is started, it first tries to open a catalog for one of the selected languages. If this fails it falls back on the application's built-in language, which is usually English.
An important support tool for localization is FlexCat. It performs the following tasks:
The AROS build system has a macro which translates all catalog translation files in a particular directory into catalog files.
Currently, AROS supports only the ISO-8859-1 character set, which means you are limited to Western European languages. (Well, there is a workaround, but this requires that you additionally select a font with a fitting encoding.)
This document gives you a work-flow for localizing applications, adding localization to existing applications, or creating catalog files for existing localized applications.
The most important functions of locale.library for localizing are OpenCatalog(), GetCatalogStr(), and CloseCatalog(). AROS applications often have the files locale.c and locale.h with some wrapper functions. The function "_" (yes, the underline is the function name) returns the string for a given message ID. It is written in such a way that it falls back to the built-in language when a catalog can't be opened. The function "__" additionally casts the string to an IPTR. This is useful for many Zune applications.
Note that a version number of 0 means that any version of the catalog can be opened, while any positive number means: open the catalog with the given version number.
#include <exec/types.h> #include <proto/locale.h> #define CATCOMP_ARRAY #include "strings.h" #define CATALOG_NAME "myapp.catalog" #define CATALOG_VERSION 3 struct Catalog *catalog; CONST_STRPTR _(ULONG id) { if (LocaleBase != NULL && catalog != NULL) { return GetCatalogStr(catalog, id, CatCompArray[id].cca_Str); } else { return CatCompArray[id].cca_Str; } } VOID Locale_Initialize(VOID) { if (LocaleBase != NULL) { catalog = OpenCatalog(NULL, CATALOG_NAME, OC_Version, CATALOG_VERSION, TAG_DONE); } else { catalog = NULL; } } VOID Locale_Deinitialize(VOID) { if(LocaleBase != NULL && catalog != NULL) CloseCatalog(catalog); }
#ifndef _LOCALE_H_ #define _LOCALE_H_ #include <exec/types.h> #define CATCOMP_NUMBERS #include "strings.h" CONST_STRPTR _(ULONG ID); /* Get a message, as a STRPTR */ #define __(id) ((IPTR) _(id)) /* Get a message, as an IPTR */ VOID Locale_Initialize(VOID); VOID Locale_Deinitialize(VOID); #endif /* _LOCALE_H_ */
Replace all strings which should be translate-able by a call of the "_" function with a message identifier as the parameter.
E.g. puts("Hello world"); becomes puts(_(MSG_HelloWorld));
These IDs must be unique and should give the translator a hint about the usage of the strings.
E.g.: MSG_ERR_Application, MSG_MEN_Open, MSG_GAD_Cancel
Include locale.h with #include "locale.h" in all source files which now contain message identifiers.
Call the functions Locale_Initialize at the init stage of your application, and call Locale_Deinitialize during its clean-up.
The next step, is to create a catalog description file. Create a subdirectory with the name catalogs. Put a file with the name myapp.cd in this directory.
The format of this file is:
message ID (ID number/min. string length/max. string length) native string
In most cases, you won't need the attributes within the round brackets and will simply write (//). No empty lines are allowed in the file, and comments start with ";".
MSG_HelloWorld (//) Hello World ; MSG_ERR_Application (//) Can't create application ; MSG_GAD_Cancel (//) Cancel
If you want to split a string over several lines you have to append \ to the lines.
The locale.library searches for the catalogs in two places: PROGDIR:Catalogs and LOCALE:Catalogs, of which the latter should be used for AROS system applications only. A location should be decided upon, and a MetaMake file (mmakefile.src) should be created in the appropriate catalogs directory.
An example of a MetaMake file for catalogs in LOCALE:Catalogs, when you're localising an AROS system application:
include $(TOP)/config/make.cfg %build_catalogs mmake=workbench-utilities-myapp \ name=myapp subdir=System/Utilities
An example of a MetaMake file for catalogs in PROGDIR:Catalogs. The directory should be a subdirectory of your application's directory:
include $(TOP)/config/make.cfg CATDIR := $(CONTRIBDIR)/Utilities/myapp/Catalogs #MM contrib-utilities-myapp-catalogs %build_catalogs mmake=contrib-utilities-myapp-catalogs \ name=myapp subdir= dir=$(CATDIR)
The MetaMake file for the application has to take the MetaMake target for the catalogs as prerequisite. This ensures that the header with the strings is rebuild when the catalog description has changed.
If you have followed the instruction above, it would be a good idea to test whether the application still builds. Call make in the AROS directory.
If everything works well you should now have the file strings.h in the directory with the source code of your application.
Before starting a translation, LOCALE:Languages/ should be checked to see whether the intended language is indeed supported by AROS.
Once confirmed the application can finally be translated into another language. Enter the catalogs subdirectory and create a language translation file with the FlexCat tool. FlexCat must be in the search path. The file name must be same name as in LOCALE:Languages, but with a ct suffix, rather than language.
FlexCat myapp.cd NEWCTFILE=deutsch.ct FlexCat myapp.cd NEWCTFILE=français.ct
The result file will look like this:
## version $VER: XX.catalog XX.XX ($TODAY) ## language X ## codeset 0 ; ; MSG_HelloWorld ; Hello World ; MSG_ERR_Application ; Can't open application ; MSG_GAD_Cancel ; Cancel
Replace the 'X' with valid information and fill the empty lines with the translated strings.
Sometimes the strings to be translated contain placeholders, like %d, %s, etc. It's important that you keep these placeholders in the translated strings in the same order.
FlexCat allows some control sequences, like \n (newline) and \f (formfeed). See the FlexCat documentation for more possibilities.
Complete translation file:
## version $VER: myapp.catalog 3.1 (18.04.2006) ## language deutsch ## codeset 0 ; ; MSG_HelloWorld Hallo Welt ; Hello World ; MSG_ERR_Application Kann Applikation nicht erzeugen ; Can't create application ; MSG_GAD_Cancel Abbrechen ; Cancel
Note that the version number (in this case "3"), should match the version number used in OpenCatalog().
Now you can call make again to test if the catalogs are created.
One of the strengths of FlexCat is that it can update catalogs without deleting existing strings:
FlexCat myapp.cd deutsch.ct NEWCTFILE=deutsch.ct
Typical source layout of a localized application:
myapp mmakefile.src main.c main.h ... locale.c locale.h strings.h Catalogs mmakefile.src myapp.cd deutsch.cd français.ct ...
Resulting binary layout:
MyApp Catalogs deutsch MyApp.catalog français MyApp.catalog ...
You don't need to be a developer to create or update catalogs for applications that have already been localized. You do need the AROS source code, and the preferred method to get that is from the Subversion archive. Using subversion will allow you to commit your changes yourself. Alternatively you could get the source from the download page. In that case, however, you would then need someone else to commit your work in the archive.
After obtaining the catalog translation files, you can update them or create additional catalog translations as described above. A Windows port of the tool FlexCat is available at http://archives.aros-exec.org.
Some applications and Zune classes are maintained outside of AROS (e.g. MUIbase, toolbar.mcc are available at http://sourceforge.net). You can indirectly support localized AROS versions if you do the translation in those repositories.

Sitting side-by-side and offering comfort to one another, Jennifer Shively's family members appeared in Lucas County Common Pleas Court to see the man authorities believe strangled the young mother and placed her weighted-down body in shallow water.
Rodney Dean Wahl, Sr., 39, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to two counts of aggravated murder and one count of murder. He was ordered held on a $5 million bond.
Wahl is charged in the strangulation death of Ms. Shively, 26, who was found Aug. 25 in an Ottawa County marina. He also faces charges for the Sept. 11 death of Ursula Graves, 42, who died from a combination of alcohol and heroin.
"This has been a long seven months," said Esther Swope, Ms. Shively's mother, of the time between her daughter's murder and a suspect's arrest. "My daughter didn't hurt anybody."
Members of Ms. Graves' family were not in court Wednesday.
A mother of five, Ms. Shively went missing Aug. 15. Her body was found 10 days later in 3 feet of water at Lamberjack's Marina in Oak Harbor, miles away from where she was last seen.
An autopsy revealed she died of strangulation before she was weighted by two concrete blocks and hidden in the water. Her arms were bound and her feet were tied together.
Authorities believe Wahl and Ms. Shively got into an argument prior to her disappearance.
The mother of six children, Ms. Graves died at about 5 p.m. Sept. 11 as a result of alcohol and heroin. Authorities identified her as a potential witness connected to the case involving Ms. Shively.
Police said that because he was an acquaintance of Ms. Shively, Wahl was at one time a potential witness in the case. He became a suspect based on witness interviews and inconsistencies in his own statement to police about both deaths, authorities said.
Judge Linda Jennings set a May 4 trial date. If convicted, Wahl faces up to life in prison.
Raymond Smith, Ms. Shively's older brother, said Wednesday his sister will one day receive justice. He said his family is ready for a long process ahead and intends to be there every step of the way.
"This is the first of many court dates that we'll be at," he said.

Who benefits from minority business set-asides? The case of New Jersey
Race-based remedies often are justified by evidence of prior discrimination. They work when they benefit groups previously disadvantaged. This article examines one such remedy-minority business set-asides-and its application in the award of public procurement and construction contracts by the state of New Jersey. Analyzed are contract awards to minority and non-minority|non-women-owned business enterprises in 1990, as well as in periods before, during, and after the imposition of a state minority set-aside program. Using a conventional decomposition approach, the article reveals significant discriminatory gaps in the success of minority- versus non-minority-owned firms in obtaining contracts from the state of New Jersey. The analysis suggests that minority contracting success rates fell from the pre-set-aside era to the set-aside era and that discriminatory outcomes persisted. The particular remedy chosen-while justified based on evidence of prior discrimination-appears not to have reduced the original discrimination nor did it unambiguously benefit minority businesses.

Preserving food, recipes
Working on her sixth hand-written cookbook, Glenna Hudgins, as she turns the pages, speaks of her family with love and pride, and explains how this project started. "I have given a cookbook to five of my grandchildren when each was to be married; now I'm working on the sixth with one more to go. We have seven grandchildren. They'll have to pass these books along to their children as I'm only doing seven.
"I think family is very important and I believe one of the best ways for our grandchildren to learn about and get to know their ancestors, on both sides, is to have this cookbook where the credit is given to each family member from whom the recipe originated. Our grandchildren never knew our grandmothers. This way they will get to know them through their recipes. Everyone has asked me why I hadn't typed the recipes, but that was not my purpose. I wanted them to have it in my own handwriting." Besides the family recipes that had been handed down, plus a few she had collected, Glenna has included verses of scripture for encouragement throughout the 238 pages.
One would possibly think this wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother spends a great deal of her time in writing cookbooks. Not true; her pantry and lifestyle prove it. "I did and do those books at nighttime when I'm sitting down."

We've added the Pertronix ignition conversion module to our store now. This unit works great on any L6 engine with points. They are easily installed, and are very compact. The entire module fits inside the distributor. These units WILL NOT work on fuel injected vehicles, only vehicles with carburetion that use the points style distributor.
Besides never having to replace points again, these units will help your cold startup considerably. These systems work great on all stock 240 distributors, and they're a snap to install.
We also sell the Pertronix hot coil individually or save yourself a little money and order the ignition module and coil together as a kit. See listing.
If you have a dual point distributor on an L engine, all you have to do is change your breaker plate, (see listing) and these Pertronix units will then be a direct bolt in. This goes for the L-4 cylinder and the L-6 cylinder as well.
If we happen to be out of stock please allow an extra 7 to 10 days for delivery.

Milpitas, CA, March 11, 2011 - SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK), the global leader in flash memory cards, issued the following statement on the recent earthquake that occurred on Thursday night, Pacific Time.
The epicenter of the powerful earthquake was approximately 500 miles from Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, Japan, the location of the two Toshiba-SanDisk joint-venture semiconductor manufacturing plants, Fab 3 and Fab 4. Both fabs were down for a short period of time due to the earthquake and were back up and operational as of Friday morning, Pacific Time. There were no injuries to SanDisk employees based in Japan.

Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony may not have the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan and Lata Mangeshkar. The ceremony which will be taking place in Delhi will be attended by a host of Bollywood celebrities including Vivek Oberoi, Anupam Kher, Madhur Bhandarkar etc
Modi, who led Bhartiya Janata Party(BJP) to an unprecedented victory, is taking oath as the 15th prime minister of the country at a function to be held in the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan in the evening. Bachchan, Rajnikanth, Salman and 84-year-old Singer Lata's names reportedly figure on the guest list.
"She has been invited, but she won't be attending the swearing-in ceremonyas she cannot travel at this age," sources close to Lata Mangeshkar told a popular news agency. According to sources, Big B is busy shooting."He is busy shooting. Don't think he is going," sources said.
Bachchan tweeted about two hours ago that he was going for a shoot. "Ok… off for the shot, its ready… cannot keep the crew waiting… love to all… see you later in the evening or night or early."

Two leopards, two primates and a bear have been held at the Columbus zoo since October. State officials had ordered the animals be quarantined on suspicion of infectious diseases.
Ohio's agriculture director lifted the order on Monday, and Marian Thompson of Zanesville, who had appealed the order, retrieved the animals Friday from the zoo.
Thompson took them back to the eastern Ohio farm where her husband released 56 animals — including black bears, mountain lions and Bengal tigers — before he committed suicide. Authorities killed 48 of the animals, fearing for the public's safety.
Distinctive in a bright pink shirt and dark pants, Thompson arrived at a loading area at the zoo close to 10:30 a.m., driving a pickup truck pulling a silver horse trailer.
Growling noises could be heard as the two leopards were loaded by hand into the horse trailer in wooden-looking crates. A forklift loaded a steel cage, likely carrying the bear. Thompson put her hand on the cage and appeared to be talking to the animal inside as it was put into the trailer.
The monkeys, contained in smaller carriers about the size of those used to transport dogs, were loaded inside the backseat of the cab of the truck, with the windows rolled down. Thompson ignored shouted questions from nearby reporters.
Several zoo staffers, including veterinarians and keepers, watched the transfer, with some taking video and still photos. Two United States Agriculture Department inspectors were also on hand with cameras.
Medical results released last week showed all five animals were free of the dangerously contagious or infectious diseases for which they were tested.
Thompson previously tried to get the animals back from the zoo, but the quarantine prevented her from taking them.
Now that she has the animals, nothing in Ohio law allows state officials to check on their welfare or require improvements to conditions in which they are kept. The state's agriculture department says it will be up to local authorities to be alert to their caretaking.
"Ohio has done everything in its power to keep local officials informed throughout this process to ensure they had as much information as possible in advance of this threat returning to their backyard," said David Daniels, the state's agriculture director.
The suicide of Thompson's husband, Terry Thompson, the animals' release Oct. 18 and their killings led lawmakers to re-examine the state's restrictions on exotic pets, which are considered some of the nation's weakest.
Daniels said in a written statement that the animals' health had improved since they arrived at the zoo.
Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz said there was not a lot local authorities can do. But "At the first complaint we have, we'll follow up," he said.
Of the animals that Terry Thompson released, three leopards, two Celebes macaques and a bear survived and were taken to the Columbus zoo. One spotted leopard had to be euthanized at the zoo in January. The macaques are small primates; the female weighs about 6 pounds, and the male weighs more than 10 pounds.
The zoo said it raised more than $44,000 in online donations to help care for the animals, though the actual cost was not known.
Thompson's lawyer has told the state's agriculture department that his client has adequate cages for the surviving animals. Multiple messages left for Robert McClelland have not been returned.
Others have questioned conditions at the farm, including Tom Stalf, the Columbus zoo's chief operating officer.
Stalf, who was at Thompson's the day of the Zanesville release, said the primates taken in the zoo had been held in separate, small bird cages, and the brown bear was kept in a cage that wasn't fit for its size.
"There was feces on the floor, in the cages," Stalf said. "You could not get a fresh breath."
Cyndi Huntsman, a friend of Thompson's, has told The Associated Press that Thompson had cleaned the cages and put up a 10-foot perimeter fence around where the exotic animals are going to be kept.

- gahhhh I suck at these but here we go >.<;
Hey there, my name's Omer. Currently a pharmacy student and loving it. I love Pokemon, like many of you, I'm sure, and I've been playing since 2001, with my first Pokemon game being Pokemon Silver.
I joined this site in mid-2008 after trying to find a particular Pokemon hack, and came to love it. I kinda died in activity after 2010, but with Pokemon X and Y just being released and the summer holidays arriving for me over here, I've decided to make use of all my spare time and renewed love for Pokemon and resume activity here~
I'd like to think that I'm easy to talk to, so feel free to send a VM my way. I'd love to get to know you all more~ - Interests
- Video Games:
I consider myself an intermediate gamer. The video games that I play/have played include:
- The World Ends with You (omg <3)
- Pokemon (duh)
- Several Pokemon spin-offs including Trozei, Dash, Stadium and the first Pokemon Ranger (though that was a loooong time ago)
- Metroid Prime Hunters
- Advance Wars (Dual Strike and Days of Ruin, touched the first two in the series but never finished them)
- Animal Crossing (Wild World and New Leaf)
- Mario Kart (DS and 7, will own your ass in MK7)
- A LOT of Mario platformers for handhelds
- Trauma Center (Under the Knife 1&2, Second Opinion)
- Halfway through Final Fantasy X
- Age of Empires (played all 3 games and all their expansions except AoE3: Asian Dynasties and AoE2HD: The Forgotten)
- Minecraft
- SimCity (played 3, 4 and 4: Rush Hour. Rush Hour is my favourite one, but I also haven't played it in ages)
Probably a few others that I haven't listed here since I forgot/didn't consider it important enough to list, but if you talk to me enough, you might find out the rest. :P
I could just list everything here but instead I'm gonna be lazy and link you my terribly neglected MyAnimeList profiles~
Though honourable mentions go to the following (assuming I'm listing anime only unless stated differently):
- Kaichou wa Maid-sama! (anime and manga, though I liked the anime better)
- Elfen Lied (manga and anime)
- Durarara!!
- Gintama (not even close to being up to date but I love it all the same)
- Itazura na Kiss (manga and anime)
- Kokoro Connect
- Kimi ni Todoke
- Code Geass
- Spirited Away
- 5 Centimeters per Second
- Steins;Gate (STEINS;GATE OMG)
I know, I'm not a very good anime fan. XD
My music library consists of an unholy mix of J-Rock, J-Pop and J-Indie songs mixed in with a bit of regular pop, indie pop, music from game and anime OSTs and some other tracks I run into here and there. My favourite band right now is the J-Rock band Jinn. I also really like Kelun, YUI and Aqua Timez, among others.
Way too many to list here, but some of my favourites include:
- Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
- The Artemis Fowl Series by Eoin Colfer (basically anything by Eoin Colfer)
- The Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson
- Does My Head Look Big In This? by Randa Abdel-Fattah (I have no idea why but I've read that book at least 10 times)
- 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami (I think I need to read this again because it made no sense the first time. though I freaking loved it. <3)
Random interests of mine also include technology, medicines and drugs (hence why I'm studying Pharmacy :P) and Wikipedia. - Location

I finished IV breeding 2 Pokemon, Honedge and Fletchling. I spent at least an hour IV breeding for the Fletchling to have 5 perfect IVs and the ability Gale Wings, and then an extra half hour for the Honedge. AND THEN I LEAVE MY 3DS CLOSED WITHOUT SAVING. AND OF COURSE I ACCIDENTALLY REMOVE THE ****ING GAME CARD. UGHHH.

I absolutely love Gengar now. Currently running it holding Life Orb with Timid nature, 252 SpA/4 SpD/252 Spe and the following moves: Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, Thunderbolt and Focus Blast. It pretty much OHKOs almost everything that's not too bulky or doesn't resist its moves and 2HKOs everything else. The only problem is that it takes huge damage from anything that's neutral or stronger, so if it's outsped, it's screwed.
Another Pokemon worth an honourable mention is Sylveon....

It feels like Animal Crossing and the book 1Q84 had a baby together and produced this little gem. I've only played it for less than 2 hours so far, but I feel like it's $10.40 well spent. If you haven't heard of this game before, let me give you a little explanation. Basically, it's about a suburb (?) in Tokyo which has monsters from a popular TV show come to life and fight in the town every Friday. I'm not very far into the game myself, having only started yesterday, but it's really addictive...

I thought it wouldn't be so tough when I managed to score a Gible with 5 perfect IVs on my first try. It was deceptively easy. All I did was throw two Gabites which I caught from the Friend Safari into the day care and BAM, a Gible with 5 perfect IVs was hatched after the 1st egg. So I thought that I must've been blessed with a wonderful sort of luck and tried the same thing with an Eevee. 2 days and 3 boxes of Eevees later (and a LOT of inbreeding) I finally yield the desired results. Currently...

I could've sworn it was just March the other day. Now it's already November. Yes, I know that people say this at the end of every year, something along the lines of "time is flying", but it really is. So much has happened this year, too. It's hard to believe that all this happened so fast.
Well, here's to the rest of the year~

Guitarist/songwriter Nicolas van Dyk of the Los Angeles-based progressive metal band REDEMPTION has released the following statement regarding the passing of legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio (DIO, HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW):
"I lost a musical hero today, and the news has hit me harder than I thought it would. "Ronnie James Dio was one of the first concerts I saw, and 'Holy Diver' one of the first records I bought once I started liking this thing called 'heavy metal.' Over the years, I have seen him perform more than anyone else (with the exception of my friends in DREAM THEATER, given our tour together!) and the past several times I've seen him with BLACK SABBATH have been truly phenomenal. "I was hoping that Ronnie would be able to perform a guest vocal on a future REDEMPTION CD, and the vocal line I had in mind for him was an expression of triumph over cancer. Obviously, this takes on a horrible irony now. And given my own diagnosis, obviously I'm particularly attuned to what Ronnie endured. "My thoughts and prayers go out to Ronnie's family and friends. The world of heavy metal has lost its voice. "Rest in peace, Ronnie." In November 2008, Nicolas van Dyk was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, which he describes as "a particularly bad form of blood cancer which is generally considered incurable and which has a five-year survival rate of 34%."REDEMPTION Guitarist: 'The World Of Heavy Metal Has Lost Its Voice'

text: Gas Prices Drop, SUV/Truck Sales Increase, Americans Forget HistoryMatt Hardigree11/04/13 9:28amFiled to: The Morning ShiftTMSFordMyFordTouch23110EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkThis is The Morning Shift, our one-stop daily roundup of all the auto news that's actually important — all in one place at 9:30 AM. Or, you could spend all day waiting for other sites to parse it out to you one story at a time. Isn't your time more important?Advertisement1st Gear: Party Like It's The Early 2000s 'Those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' — Edmund Jesus Lincoln TwainAdvertisementI can never remember, exactly, who deserves credit for the quote above. I just remember that Americans rarely seem to heed this good advice.Case in point? Just read this Freep article that points out the drop in fuel prices has corresponded with an increase in truck and SUV sales.On Friday, the national average price of a gallon of gas was $3.28, down 23 cents from a year ago.Just a few years ago, Americans were ditching pickups and SUVs for smaller cars. Fuel economy is still important, but across-the-board improvements in fuel economy and lower gas prices make it less of a factor."It is no longer a deterrent in terms of a purchase decision," said Mustafa Mohatarem, General Motors' chief economist. "We have been seeing that for virtually the whole year."Some of this is just pent-up demand from years of people skipping on trucks, but it does make you wonder. I don't blame car companies for building lots of the profitable vehicles, especially while they continue to invest in fuel efficient compacts. SponsoredI blame you, America.2nd Gear: Ford Quality Sinks And… No One Cares? Ford's been the strongest American automaker this year, making huge profits and picking up market share from its Japanese and German competitors. All of this while people bitch and moan about MyFordBadTouch so much their "quality is job #1" mantra has been replaced with "it doesn't matter because none of you assholes hate it enough to not buy our cars anyways."AdvertisementHere's Ford's President of the Americas Joe Hinrich's to Automotive News:"There's a correlation between freshness of the product lineup and market share. We've chosen to keep our lineup very fresh, which means more frequent launches, more technology, more newness to the vehicle — which inherently provides more challenges for the quality surveys," Hinrichs said in an interview last week."All that being said, I'm not pleased with where we are. We need to make progress, and we will."Maybe sort of true. I think two other things are going on here:People buy the cars before they realize how cumbersome it is to live in a world without buttons.People will complain about things they don't like if asked, but it's an ancillary nuisance and people care more about a car that drives well, which most new Fords do.3rd Gear: Rich People Still Care About Service So, you can sell mainstream cars without great quality, but can you sell luxury cars without great service? Ze Germans think not, at least according to this Bloomberg article.AdvertisementMercedes is offering up to $60 million to dealers for higher customer service ratings, BMW is adding "Geniuses" to its staff. These are people who don't care about sales. Audi is adding valet parking, more convenient hours, and other technology to make luxury car ownership."We spoke to people who fly a lot," Scott Keogh, president of Audi of America Inc., said in an interview. "You can have wine on a plane and good food. Most people in business class don't care. They want to know was the plane on time? Was the seat comfortable?I think Audi has the better read here.Advertisement4th Gear: Honda Not In A Hurry To Fix Recalled Vans Remember those 344,000 Honda Odyssey vans recalled for surprise braking? Yeah, they're out of parts to fix them so recalls won't begin until May.AdvertisementPer Dub Shep:Honda told NHTSA it will not be able to fix the vehicles for more than four months. "Due to the large volume of new parts needed to repair owner's vehicles, the necessary parts will not be available until spring of 2014. As a result, owners will be informed of the potential existence of the defect in an initial notification letter. The initial letter will also include instructions to owners about procedures that they can follow to properly calibrate the (electronic) system to prevent an unintended braking event, as well as instructions about what to do if the event occurs while driving," Honda said.So, yeah, try to avoid fiery death between now and then Honda owners!5th Gear: Michigan Back To Selling Bonds That whole Detroit Bankruptcy thing was an annoying distraction for the State of Michigan, which was unable to sell bonds until the market was unfrozen.AdvertisementAdvertisementYou'd think Michigan would be a bit of a shit show in terms of investment, but Bloomberg explains it's not as bad as all that.Michigan has an Aa2 grade from Moody's Investors Service, the third-highest rank. The yield spread on the state's tax-exempt securities is 0.59 percentage point, or about 20 percent wider than the average this year, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The figure reached about 0.75 percentage point in August, after the Motor City filed the nation's biggest municipal bankruptcy July 18. In comparison, investors demand less than 0.1 percentage point of extra yield on borrowings of New York, with the same Moody's grade, Bloomberg data show. California, two levels lower, trades at a spread of 0.35 percentage point.TMYK.Reverse: Behold, The 108 HP 7.0-Liter V8! AdvertisementOn this day in 1979, hundreds of Iranian students storm the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking more than 60 American hostages. The students, supporters of the conservative Muslim cleric Ayatollah Khomeini, were demanding the return of Iran's deposed leader, the Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, who had fled to Egypt in January 1979 and by November was receiving cancer treatment in the United States. After the student takeover, President Jimmy Carter ordered a complete embargo of Iranian oil.[HISTORY]Neutral: Are You Buying A Truck/SUV Anytime Soon? Would you? Do you care about fuel economy?

I want to have a release for MOP out by Monday, but I am out of town all weekend for events relating to the MOP Midnight launch in Irvine. I'll be back late monday night but I cannot guarantee I will have a release out in time. Worst case I will have something released prior to the first week of normal raids.

Posted By: Affiniti
Commit out all of the castbar items in the LUA file that is erroring and the addon stops spitting out errors. You won't have the progress bar, but that thing looks awful and serves no purpose anyways so it's not a huge loss.

The staff was shocked. I being the
Only patient to ever do yoga stretches
Afterward on the gurney,
My recovery time was cut in half.
Now to deal with this pain!
Writing my Meditation . . .
So . . .boy was I still under the influence of anesthesia when I wrote and posted this! Woe, pain is really kicking in, now!
Let's see what you've got inside,
I rip you up, open wide!
Let's do some digging, fingers deep within
You think I'm done? Let's begin!
You said
The most brilliant thing
You said it was
Like a heart surgery
But he was only a
Surgeon in training
And had neglected to
Mention beforehand
That it was only
Exploratory cardiac surgery;
And it was just for his
Simmering curiosity
(He couldn't have carried
Out a simple angioplasty?)
That he cut the aorta
That's what you said
And his curiosity subsided;
And he left as you bled.
Minsan magtataka ka
Sa kung paano nagsimula
Ano ang dulot o sanhi?
Paano ang bukas
Kung ang ngayon ay wala na.
Makitid ang daan
Patungo sa kabilang espasyo
Malayo sa drogang gamot daw.
Naryan ang nars
Ang sekretaryang nanghihina
Mga eroplanong papel
Simbolo pala ng iilang humihinga.
Takot at may kirot
Umuusbong ang sanhing nakakasuka
Mga imaheng kilabot sa sikmura
Walang nakaririnig
Mananatiling pipi't bingi
Kahit sandali, kahit sandali lang.
Itim ang kulay ng pag-asa
Naroon ang pangarap
Naroon ang solusyon
Tila nag-aabang
Sa kakarampot na grasya.
He doesn't need Intra Ocular Lenses,
To dismember my defenses.
Without a Stethoscope,
He can hear my heart,
He won't have to take an MRI scan,
To know where to start.
He won't need to inject a syringe,
To romantically unhinge,
My every multiplying cell,
Into a palpitating craze.
He won't need a lubricating gel,
To seduce and amaze.
He won't require to operate
Nor investigate,
Me from head to toe,
To plainly know,
That I'm besotted,
my insides knotted,
My better sense clotted,
In deep rooted feeling,
Of immense love.
They shaved my head
and cut me open
took my skull
and my way of coping
My life had changed
in just a moment
I can't decide
but I might wish I hadn't done it.
I can't play
or practice
I have to be careful.
If I'm not cautious
with my head
I could instantly wind up dead.
My headaches aren't gone
and I'm still dizzy
all you really took
was half my aspirations.
I hadn't much warning
just a surprise.
And when I could easily die
every day is a compromise.
More just had to be taken away
because the last 13 surgeries
hadn't changed my day to day.
It's a brand new world I'm living in
where all my dreams are limited
and they're starting to run thin.
so here you have me
and I'm crying mercy.
You cut me
open with your scalpel-
Gorging out my inside; harvesting my organs.
You opened me
before I had a chance to sign the release forms, before I knew the side effects.
I did not consent to this.
You put your hands under my skin
like I was a puzzle you had to put back together,
you are not the missing piece,
trying to fit me into a mold-
I am not made out of clay,
I am not your mosaic.
You sliced down my chest but you forgot the anesthesia
I am wide awake
I am wide open,
I can feel
every cut,
every organ beating against you,
you are covered in my blood and bile-
You tore off my pericardium
exposing my heart like a soldier in open fire,
I can see
my insides, my secrets sprawled out on your table,
you are picking them apart, like an archeologist,
I am not a ruin,
I am not your treasure map
there is nothing for you here.
I am not a reward.
I am a canvas-
and you are not the painter
You are not a surgeon
You are not the cure-
You are the disease.
Next surgery if you please.
I befriended Ken Berry the very moment I saw him, not in a butt buddy way that involves reaming or balling. We've been close since March of last year, without a whimper from the wrinkled front of his ancient rear. I could tell you things about F-Troop that're shocking without being convoluted, unfair, grotesque and/or mocking. Larry Storch butters his buns like he's from Kansas, because Bruce Jenner still knows what a real man is. His name lauds the id of fruit, Ken Berry. How far with a dozen eggs can a hen carry?

A speculative and fascinating look at what our bodies and minds will look like in the future. Russell Roberts Hawaii Intelligence Digest

Critical we wake up and get back to being human...the A.I.'s are neither human nor have any moral value...they are value neutral, just 1's and 0's and will simply shut down in a more efficient manner once we have arrived at post

The future diet is on your plate now. Lab-grown meat from Memphis Meats involves no real animals, just their cells cultivated in a lab environment. Russell Roberts Hawaii Intelligence Digest
Aleisha Daley's curator insight,
March 22, 9:04 AM
In this article it talks about lab-grown chicken and duck. Lab-grown or Memphis meats are made by taking muscle tissue from the animals, this causes them no harm. The tissue is then grown in a vats. This is part of the "Clean Meat Movement", the movement is aware of what farming animals for their meat is doing to our environment, and that it is causing, and will continue to, cause environmental problems. If all goes to plan the company has a target of getting the products out to consumers by 2021. I personally don't think I would want to eat meat that has been grown in a lab. I think that the reasons that they are making lab-grown meats is reasonable, but I think that you could never get the same qualities as real meat.

Fascinating implications for neurological research and medical treatment. Apparently, our brains can function as both analog and digital computers, setting the stage for the eventual union of human intelligence with Artificial Intelligence.

Here's some hope for those of us who have a tough time where we put our car keys. Research shows that "regular" humans can be taught to expand their brain power in as little as 40 days. Russell Roberts Hawaii Intelligence Digest https://hawaiiintelligencedigest.com https://paper.li/f-1482109921
Jessica Henao's curator insight,
March 10, 1:44 PM
The brain of a person with average memory skills isn't structurally any different to the brain of a super memoriser, according to the new study, which means there's hope for all of us to boost our memory abilities. To figure this out, researchers from Radboud University Medical Centre in the Netherlands studied the brains of the 23 top competitors in the World Memory Championships - a competition where contestants try to recall more words off a list than the person next to them.

I chose this because lets face it who doesn't want to improve their memory and it was an interesting read. |

A double-edged sword. The crux of the matter lies in who will determine the beneficiaries of new life extending technologies. Will such technology really be affordable to the mass of humanity? I really doubt it. The issue revolves around control and power reserved for the few. A grand vision that will be restricted to those deemed "worthy." Russell Roberts Hawaii Intelligence Digest

The human-machine relationship is growing. There are more applications of this technology in the wings, including the delivery of medical supplies to shut-ins and the evolution of new business courier systems. Russell Roberts Hawaii Intelligence Digest
prgnewshawaii's curator insight,
March 24, 12:21 PM
A counter intuitive idea that may be attractive, but not necessarily beneficial in the "real world." Lewis's book "Moneyball" is a good read with plenty of fascinating ideas offered for improving your life and business relationships. Whether creative laziness is for you is something only you can work out. Perhaps it would be better to find a job that offers challenges, rewards, and fulfillment rather than just waiting for something to come along. Russell Roberts Hawaii Intelligence Digest

Fascinating article by cognitive scientist Konrad Szocik on whether humans are physically and psychologically suited to survive on planets such as Mars. Szocik says humans would need massive genetic "augmentation" to survive space and eventual settlement on the "Red Planet."
Declan Ryan's curator insight,
March 23, 3:57 PM
The safety concerns of genetically altering your body are quite obvious. But knowing what the planet itself has in store. For example the atmosphere and surface are one thing but knowing how the climate will change and develop over the next few years is another. Knowing what lies under the surface and deeper down what resources lie buried. How many natural disasters occur if any and their frequency. These facts alone produce their own threats to safety without having to genetically augment our bodies. That too has its own threats and every scenario that ca be imagined needs to have a solution thought of and research thorough enough for the information required for safe procedures of this.
Brendon Dundas's curator insight,
March 14, 7:09 AM
This scoop is a prime example of where we will be in 5 years, with an ever changing world the opening line in this article tells all "The world of AI, robotics and cognitive computing are changing business even faster than we thought" An autonomous machine and human work force is inevitable and as the article reads on it states "Our just-released research (Deloitte Human Capital Trends 2017) shows that companies are not waiting for such technology to be perfected: they are implementing it now." This is where I see OHS in the future being a reactive not pro active force in the working community. As more and more people are exposed to these new technologies the mor OHS will be relied on, most likely in an investigative form rather than a general enforcer of policies and procedures.
Sébastien PASTOR's comment,
March 14, 11:57 AM
This is indeed interesting, should we fear it to happen, or in contrary change the way we work and how we do ? Some politics are already considering we should tax robots when they replace a human being... sounds not realistic but we should consider it shouldn't we ?
prgnewshawaii's curator insight,
March 8, 11:41 PM
I wonder if you can tell the robot to make your order "supersize." Intriguing technology that could put some people out of work. Russell Roberts Hawaii Intelligence Digest https://hawaiiintelligencedigest.com https://paper.li/f-1482109921 |

Reviews of this property
Well i have read the story of the person from who we hired this place. That we broke the lock on purpuse. He is a story teller and his story is a good example of the state of the place. The bed is lying very bad....so the lock broke so mij back felt the same in the morning..... i had to practice yoga a lot to get mij back into shape for the rest of the day... Sleeping was a nigtmare... you can not open the window in the night because of the noise of the road beneath the appartement. If you like quit place than don't hire this place . Budapest is a great city...... that compares a lot!
I was welcomed at the apartment by Fabio's father in law, who was very attentive and helpful.
The apartment included a bathroom with bathtube. Everything was clean and looking like the pictures.
The location is perfect with public transportation, there is also a nice shopping mall, opened also on sunday, at a close walking distance.
Thank you!

The system tray utility lets you set a kind of force field around your desktop—whether that's one screen or two—and any windows you drag to an area outside your chosen area get minimized to thumbnails on the screen's edge. That can be pretty convenient if you're rocking two monitors or have a good deal of screen space. The app allows for color customizations to tell your work apart at a glance, and while the sound and animations are a little dated, the basic concept seems to work solidly.

Here's the Barbour I grabbed on Friday.
Still smells oily, but might need to be re-oiled/waxed....not sure how to tell. It seems nearly unworn, only a tiny smudge here and there. Detachable hood, throat latch, zipped and snapped enclosure. Double zipped rear game pocket, reinforced shoulders and forearms, double snapped waterproof poly cuffs.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
That Barbour looks awfully dry to me. I'd re-proof it yesterday. Regardless, a great pickup. You don't often see that configuration.
