Zach's March for Homeless Starts at Lazydays
March 26, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Zach's March for Homeless Starts at Lazydays
The men and women of Lazydays RV are once again proud to support Zach Bonner, 12-year-old philanthropist as he began his "March Across America" a 2,478-mile walk to raise awareness for the nearly 1.3 million homeless children in America, according to a news release.
The walk began Tuesday (March 23) at Lazydays dealership in Seffner, Fla., and will culminate in Los Angeles.
Zach and Lazydays share a passion for helping at-risk children. In 2007 Zach, the founder of the Little Red Wagon non-profit organization, met with the Lazydays Employee Foundation, a not-for-profit corporation funded by weekly payroll deductions volunteered by the employees of Lazydays. Realizing their missions were the same, Lazydays and the Lazydays Employee Foundation vowed to help Zach in his quest to help homeless children.
Since his first walk in 2007, Lazydays and its employees have supported Zach by providing him with a Class A motorhome to house Zach and his family on each of his walks.
"I owe it all to Lazydays," claimed Zach upon being asked how he felt. "Without them believing in me and helping me I never could have done it, Lazydays is like family to me."

5-a-day brooches with the Zoe Project at JustTrade.co.uk
I'm a big fan of novelty jewellery, so when I spotted Just Trade's tweet about a carrot brooch I simply had to investigate. On their website I found lots of other fruity/vegetable-y delights, including a watermelon and a radish, all of which would just belong on the lapel of my velvet jacket.
The brooches are made by the Zoe Project, one of several producers that Just Trade work with. The Zoe Project is based in two shanty towns in Peru, where 23 ladies combine their crochet skills with 'contemporary design training' to produce this unusual collection of jewellery.
As well as providing a more reliable source of income, bringing the ability to pay for medical care, homes and education, the project has allowed many of the women to work from home, giving them an opportunity to spend more time with their families.
The brooches retail at £9.50 each. To browse the collection, click here.

P.S. There are also animal and flower brooches!

This was better then I thought it would be... I laughed a lot and it was just so funny and a great cast.
Funny as hell Mel Gibson was funny as Mark Wahlberg's dad this one was just as good as the first one
Very funny, great family movie.
I did not laugh once in this film. The premise is decent enough but the comedy is lack lustre and the scene at the end with Do they know its Christmas? is absolutely dumb. The song is about kids in Africa who are starving. Yikes! Could they not have used another song? Really, I'd give this flick zero stars for zero laughs.
A few funny parts but I was extremely disappointed in Mel Gibson. Why would he stoop this low after the great Hacksaw Ridge, Braveheart and Passion of the Christ?
Not often are sequels better than the first...I was laughing pretty good at quite a few scenes. Did it have it's stupid moments, yes. Did it have it's predictable moments, yes. It's all to be expected...have an open mind and you're going to enjoy it!
Totally awesome. Got more than I expected. You will enjoy this if you go in not knowing what to expect. Just have an open mind about it and it won't disappoint
Total waste of money. I slept through most of it.
I thought the characters we well chosen for their roles. It was LOL even if there were plenty of corny parts the characters made them funny. Very stupid but indeed funny.
Horrible. worst comedy I have ever seen. wasted my time.

EX Saint Theo Walcott fired a triple warning to his old club last night before his Arsenal side come to St Mary's on New Year's Day.
The striker also gave his manager Arsene Wenger yet another reminder of his goal-scoring talents as he bagged a stunning hat-trick to sink Newcastle in a 10-goal thriller at the Emirates Stadium.
Wenger had talked up 23-year-old as the next Thierry Henry yesterday, and the England forward - still to pen a new deal with the club - did little to disprove that idea t.
He scored three excellent goals and setting up two more to give Arsenal the win that ensures they will end 2012 in fifth place, two points behind Chelsea and three adrift of Tottenham with a match in hand.
Another ex-Saint Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also scored.
After the match Wenger insisted he want Walcott to stay a Gunner.
He said: ''My desire is to extend his contract.
''I think he belongs here. Hopefully we can do it.
''I think he loves the club and the club loves him and the reciprocity in love is the most difficult to find.''
England international Walcott has scored four goals and won one decisive penalty in the three games he has started up front and he now has 14 for the season.
''I enjoy playing in whatever position but it was just telling the manager to give me the opportunities to play up front,'' the former Southampton man said.
''I'm not saying I'm always going to play up front but it's just showing what I can do but hopefully I've opened a few eyes and it's just a different option.
''Hopefully, I can start to take it a bit more often now.''

KTE News:
Slight breeze throughout Day 2 at the MINI KTE France
Light wind characterized the second day of the MINI Kitesurf Tour Europe in La Baule, France. The focus of the day was on course racing. The race set up was adapted due to these light winds. Race competitors gathered for the first possible signs of wind and suitable conditions. The breeze did begin to pick up slightly throughout the day to 7-10 knots, giving riders the time they needed to begin pumping up their kites and readying their gear.
With 7-12 knots of wind, racers entered the water in the morning at 12:15 pm, hungry for a day full of racing action. At this point, Adam Koch (USA) and Steph Bridge (GBR) held first place positioning, and hoped to keep it that way. Mostly all competitors raced with kites up to 17 meters.
For rider Adam Koch (Ozone, USA) it was another great day on the water, finishing first in the fifth race. So, Koch is holding his first place in the current overall standing, followed by Julien Kerneur (FRA) on second and Riccardo Leccese (COL) on place three.
In the girls division, the first race of the day and the fifth in total, Steph Bridge (UK, North) got beaten by Caroline Adrien (FRA, Cabrinha) on first, Elena Kalinina (RUS) on second and Katja Roose (NED) on third. Taking a big risk, Steph Bridge continued to hold her placement in front. With Caroline Adrien close behind and Katja Roose on third.
During the women fleet, the wind died slowly. Disappointed by the wind variability, competitors returned to the beach and the meeting area to wait once more, enjoying lunch and the french atmosphere. As the day continued on, there were brief moments where it looked as if the wind might pick up – only to die back down again.
To attract and to animate visitors and fans on the beach, we organised some E-Skating Competition powered by Gliss Evolution. Spectators also checked out the varied products of MINI on the boardwalk.
Tomorrow, wind is expected of up to 12 knots, so competitors will arrive to the meeting place at 9am for the day's first meeting. Stay tuned Facebook for the latest information throughout the day. To view pictures of the day, check out the daily pictures link below.

UC Davis Medical Center ranks among the nation's Most Connected Hospitals
Posted Aug. 1, 2012
UC Davis Medical Center ranks among U.S. News & World Report's 2012-13 list of Most Connected Hospitals, a distinction that only 156 of the 5,300 American hospitals included in the survey qualified for as of July 2012. Only 16 California hospitals met Most Connected criteria, and UC San Diego was the only other UC medical center campus to receive the designation.
U.S. News' Most Connected Hospitals list recognizes hospitals that meet high standards for care and are at the forefront of national efforts to adopt electronic health records. The clinical criteria included achieving a national ranking in 2012-13 U.S. News & World Report's Best Hospitals or Best Children's Hospitals, or earning the designation of "high-performing" in one or more medical specialties along with each hospital or one or more of its major units, such as a children's hospital within the larger institution.
The information technology criteria included meeting the federal government's electronic health record meaningful use requirements, and achieving either Stage 6 or 7 in the HIMSS Analytics EMR adoption model. HIMSS Analytics is a division of the nonprofit Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society that conducts surveys and site visits to evaluate how far hospitals have progressed toward fully incorporating health information technology into every aspect of clinical care. HIMSS ranks hospitals on a scale from 0 to 7, with Stage 7 being the highest level of IT integration.
UC Davis achieved the EMR Adoption Model Stage 6 Award in December 2010 and is working toward Stage 7 designation. The HIMSS organization recognizes Stage 6 hospitals as advancing toward the completely digital health-care environment and having significant advantages over other health-care institutions in terms of patient safety and clinician support. An example of this technology at UC Davis is the sophisticated EMR that enables physicians to document patient encounters using online clinical documentation templates and back-end voice recognition technology.
Stage 6 also means that most patient clinical results (text, data and image-based) are available in the electronic medical record and that all inpatient, ambulatory, emergency department and home-health clinical encounters are managed and documented using the same digital health record. UC Davis also is a leader in health-care information exchange, including the ability to interface content from clinical equipment (such as hemodynamic monitors) into the EMR, as well as exchange clinical data with other, external Epic EMR users.
UC Davis also was recently named among the nation's information technology leaders, according to the 2012 "Most Wired Survey and Benchmarking Study" conducted by Hospitals and Health Networks magazine. UC Davis is one of only 11 institutions in California designated "Most Wired" out of a total of 1,570 hospitals that completed surveys. The annual study examines how hospitals use information technology to address and enhance patient safety, quality of care, public health, administrative processes and workforce decisions.
U.S. News also ranks UC Davis Medical Center among the top 50 hospitals in the nation for cancer, which places it among the top 1 percent of hospitals nationwide. UC Davis also ranks among the Best Hospitals in the Northern Sierra region in 11 medical specialties: cardiology and heart surgery; diabetes and endocrinology; ear, nose and throat; gastroenterology; geriatrics; gynecology; nephrology; neurology and neurosurgery; orthopaedics; pulmonology; and urology.
The U.S. News Best Hospitals ranking summarizes the quality of inpatient care, examining reputation as well as several measurable and verifiable factors that have a direct link to the quality of patient care, including the balance of nurses to patients, mortality statistics, patient safety, numbers of procedures conducted and other care-related measures. The complete rankings and methodology are available at http://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 22 2012) – Once again another difficult non-conference schedule is slated to help prepare ETSU women's basketball for league play, including 11 home games as head coach Karen Kemp released the 2012-13 Lady Bucs schedule on Wednesday morning.
The Buccaneers loaded up their non-conference schedule with six squads that appeared in post-season play last season.
"I always like to test my team in non-conference play, because we have to play the best teams in order to make us stronger, and prepare us for a difficult conference season," said Kemp, who is entering her 19th season at the helm. "This schedule features a balance of tough games against top national powers, as well as some of the best mid-major teams in the country. We need to be ready to play night in and night out, because every team we face will be tough."
ETSU begins the season with a pair of road games as the Lady Bucs travel to High Point on Nov. 10 and Chattanooga on Nov. 17. The Lady Panthers are coming off a 20 win season and an appearance to the Women's National Invitational Tournament (WNIT). The Lady Mocs compiled a 22-10 season last year with an at-large berth to the WNIT.
The Blue and Gold host cross-state foe Memphis on Friday, Nov. 30 for the Lady Bucs' home-opener. The Tigers defeated Chattanooga, 60-59, in the first-round of last year's WNIT.
Another two-game road swing sends the Blue and Gold to Morehead State on Dec. 2 and to Southeastern Conference foe LSU on Dec. 13. LSU advanced to the second-round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament before falling to Penn State.
The Lady Bucs return home on Dec. 18 to face off with former Southern Conference foe Appalachian State. The Mountaineers earned a berth to the WNIT last March, where they defeated N.C. State to advance to the third-round. Before a quick turnaround sends ETSU to Ames, Iowa on Dec. 20 to play 2012 NCAA participant, Iowa State. The match-up with the Cyclones will be a rematch of the first-round of the 2009 NCAA Tournament, where the Lady Bucs fell to ISU 85-53.
Then with little over week off for the holiday, ETSU wraps up the 2012 calendar year with a trip to North Carolina on Dec. 28.
The Lady Bucs begin league play with a three-game road swing starting with USC-Upstate on Jan. 2, then to Lipscomb (Jan. 5) and will end the road trip on Jan. 7 against new Atlantic Sun foe Northern Kentucky.
ETSU returns home for contests against Florida Gulf Coast (Jan. 12) and Stetson (Jan. 14) before heading south to Kennesaw State (Jan. 19) and Mercer (Jan. 21).
The Lady Bucs will welcome their longest homestand of season from Jan. 26 through Feb. 4 when they take on North Florida (Jan. 26), Jacksonville (Jan. 28), Lipscomb (Feb. 2) and Northern Kentucky (Feb. 4).
The Blue and Gold will spend two weekends in February in Florida as they face Stetson (Feb. 9), FGCU (Feb. 11), Jacksonville (Feb. 23) and North Florida (Feb. 25).
The Lady Bucs end the regular season in Johnson City versus USC Upstate on March 2.
The 2013 A-Sun Tournament will again be played inside Mercer's University Center. The eight-team tournament format kicks off on Wednesday, March 6 and the championship game will be played on Saturday, March 9, with the winner being awarded the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
ETSU will play a pair of exhibition games prior to the start of the regular season, beginning on Nov. 3 against Carson-Newman. The Lady Bucs also host Young Harris on Monday, Nov. 5.

Video Log
James J. Satterwhite
Vietnam War
U. S. Army
Born: February 6, 1937
Interview Date: October 13, 2009
Interviewed By: Gregg Cerosky
00: 00: 00 Introduction
00: 01: 30 James describes what it was like to attend and graduate from the United States Military Academy ( 1955- 1959). His class started with 729 students and ended with 499.
00: 05: 30 The man who graduated at the bottom of the class [ known as the " goat"] was as important as the one who finished at the top and the entire class would contribute a dollar each to give to that individual.
00: 05: 55 James was able to receive his commission in the Corps. of Engineers and his first assignment was in Hawaii. He went through the Corps of Engineering school at Fort Belvoir, Virginia and flight school at Fort Rucker, Alabama. 00: 07: 10 He was stationed in Hawaii for three years. The first year and a half was spent flying fixed wing aircraft as an artillery spotter [ Division Aviation Company of the 25th Infantry Division] and spent the remaining year and a half in the 65th Combat Engineer Battalion achieving the rank of company commander [ captain] at the end of his assignment period.
00: 08: 40 He and his wife were married in his home town in Sedalia, Missouri before he was stationed in Hawaii and she moved there with him. His two children were born while he was in Hawaii.
00: 09: 35 A lot of time was spent training in the jungles in Hawaii in preparation for deployment to " unknown" locations in the Far East.
00: 11: 50 His aviation experience entailed directing artillery fire to targets at the artillery range on Oahu.
00: 14: 25 He changed branches after his assignment on Oahu. He went into the Transportation Corps., because it was more compatible with aviation. He was sent to graduate school while in the Transportation Corps. He attended M. I. T and received a Masters Degree in Aeronautical Engineering. He finished a two year course of study in fifteen months and was assigned to Vietnam in mid- 1966 and served with the " Army Concept Team", testing experimental equipment [ one year tour].
00: 19: 48 Of the 499 graduates from West Point with James, fifteen were killed in action serving in Vietnam [ 1962- 1969].
00: 20: 35 James contrasts the difference in " attitude" about winning the war between his two tours in Vietnam. When he was there in 1966- 67, the overall feeling was that the war could be one. When he was there in 1971, the feeling was that, given the parameters of how the war was being fought, there was no possibility of achieving victory.
00: 22: 10 In 1971, he was in command of an Army Aircraft Maintenance and Supply Company [ 604th Transportation Company of the 14th Transportation Battalion] at Camp Holloway in the Central Highlands [ six month assignment]. He then spent six months with the 34th General Support Group Headquarters in Saigon where he was the Aircraft Maintenance Officer for all of the aircraft in Vietnam and ultimately the Director of Planning and Operations where he put in place the plans to evacuate all of the aircraft from Vietnam and the end of the war.
00: 24: 40 James describes the environment in Saigon during his two tours of duty there.
00: 28: 40 One of the fifteen West Point graduates [ from his graduating class] who was killed in action in Vietnam was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously. He was a P. O. W. in North Vietnam and went out of his way to make things difficult for his captors and was ultimately killed by them.
00: 30: 31 End of Part One.
00: 00: 00 Part Two begins.
00: 00: 25 James discusses what it was like for his wife and children while he was serving in Vietnam.
00: 02: 06 Between tours of duty in Vietnam, James applied for and was selected for test pilot training at the Naval Test Pilot School at Pawtuxet River, Maryland. Upon completion, he served as a NASA test pilot at Moffett Naval Air Station, San Jose, California. He was stationed there for two years and then returned to Vietnam in 1971.
00: 09: 00 The typhoon story.
00: 10: 25 After his second tour in Vietnam, James was assigned as an instructor [ fluid mechanics and thermodynamics] at West Point.
00: 14: 18 After teaching at West Point, he was assigned to the Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell AFB, and then was assigned to the Pentagon for five years after which he retired from the Army as a Lt. Colonel [ 1980].
00: 19: 16 Upon retiring from the Army, James was hired by Sikorsky Helicopter as the Program Manager of the Navy Seahawk Helicopter Program and served in progressive positions at Sikorsky attaining the position of Senior Vice President, which he held when he retired in 2002 [ after 22 years with Sikorsky].
00: 25: 35 The experience of being verbally abused while back in the United States after serving in Vietnam: The street crossing story.
00: 29: 59 End of Interview.

"I don't think, since 2006, I've ever seen the Conservatives so nervous about an election as right now. You talk to them, and it's no more of this chest beating testosterone, we'll take them down, we'll crush them on the campaign trails. THEY DO NOT WANT AN ELECTION. The window of opportunity is wide open right now, and I'm telling you right now, if they do this prorogue thing in August....and we don't come back until November or later, the Harper government will have repaired the damage, all this things will be forgotten, their machine will be stronger than ever. The Liberals will be kicking themselves for all of 2009, going why didn't do this in the spring. When you get the Conservatives nervous, when you have the PM tired, I don't know why they aren't doing it."
Don Martin
Martin basically argues what I've said, namely that waiting allows the government to get back on their feet, with the added kicker that they will control the agenda as far as Parliament reconvening.
We now hear talk of Dion being "isolated" on an election call, the vast majority of MP's, the main players in caucus, all in agreement, all showing increased frustration, all wanting an election. In Dion's corner, his advisers and campaign people, which means you have the elected representatives on one side, those that are getting feedback from their riding, and a few Dion loyalists on the other. It is actually quite a scary proposition to think that Dion has little caucus support for his plan, a dangerous situation that could well blow up.
Susan Bonner
"It is going to make for a very interesting summer for the Liberals"
Let's keep it real, Dion's hold is a weak one, he is not immune to another round of questioning quotes and behind the scenes second guessing. To move forward with little support from other influential people in the party, not to mention an unease within the grassroots, raises the spectre of an interesting summer in deed. You provide the window of complete idle, coupled with restlessness, and people's focus could surely wander. Moreover, the signature reasoning, this carbon plan, doesn't seem to enjoy widespread support within the same circles, creating further potential tensions. The question becomes, can Dion afford to wait, or is he on a ledge somewhat alone? I've never heard the word "isolated" used to describe a party leader, and people may be optimistic not to understand what exactly that means.
Reading today's Globe and Mail piece, on this same question, it reads like a tragedy. The silliest argument:
More broadly, one adviser said, Mr. Dion must use the summer not only to sell his green plan, but to hone his skills at communicating it so he can use it to counter Tory attacks that he is a weak leader.
Stephane Dion is what he is, to actually think that he will morph into a "communicator" over the summer is just wishful thinking. We already have all the evidence we require, Dion has been leader for 18 months, and he still reads from a piece of paper in Question Period, looking exactly as he did, this time last year. That isn't Dion's strength, and we've seen enough to resign ourselves to the fact that it is what it is. I suggest another viewing of Dion's dud of a convention speech for anyone who actually thinks Dion possesses any natural aptitude in this regard. I'm not holding my breath for the "honing of skills". Maybe Harper will develop "warmth" too.
Interesting, that last fall when Dion wanted to force an election, the majority was against the idea, now the opposite, with the only consistent element, Dion virtually alone. This fact suggests little confidence in the leader, and his reasonings, which when you jump out of your partisan considerations, is an objective worrying condition. A leader is only in command if he possesses the ability to make people follow, otherwise he is really only a leader in name only, finding hollow comfort in the inner circle bunker, detached from his supposed army.

In the early 80s, dance music became less popular in the English-speaking world. It was to be reborn several years later. Punk rock whose appeal was confined for the most part to the United Kingdom morphed into new wave. The synthesizer, Bob Moog's 1963 invention, had made appearances in rock throughout the 70s, but a number of British artists began experimenting with using the synthesizer as the lead and sometimes only instrument. This new electronic rock helped spawn a second British Invasion. Arguably, with acts like Images in Vogue, Strange Advance, Rational Youth, Blue Peter, Moev, The Spoons, and Rough Trade, Canada was more keen on developing synthesizer-driven pop than the United States. The most popular new wave act was perhaps Vancouver-based The Payola$.
With the new styles in music, radio was friendlier to some artists than to others. The so-called underground music scene became exceptionally popular as did college radio which picked up the slack. In order to help promote and recognize more experimental music, the CASBY awards were established in 1981 to honour excellence in independent or "alternative" music and artists.
Guitar-oriented new wave group Corbeau was somewhat successful in Québec. When it disbanded in 1984, female singer Marjo embarked on a solo career. Québec never grew tired of dance music. With the new interest in synthesizers, electronics were added to the genre care of acts like Trans X and the hugely successful Men Without Hats. English Canada experimented with dancier new wave and came up with male/female combo outfits like The Parachute Club and Martha and the Muffins, which later became known as M+M.
After new wave, the second most popular genre in the early 80s, which did not receive as much radio airplay, was heavy metal. A few artists in Canada dabbled in this, like Helix, Toronto, and Chilliwack spin-off The Headpins, and some combined electronics with hard rock, like Aldo Nova and supergroup Loverboy.
Curiously, a backlash against this new-fangled music emerged in parallel. A number of groups performing more traditional blues rose to prominence, the most notable of which were The Powder Blues Band, Doug and the Slugs, and a cappella group The Nylons. Medicine Hat (Alberta) risqué country band Showdown debuted in 1980 and Montréal fusion-jazz outfit UZEB in 1981. Scottish import Eric Robertson, a composer, pianist and organist scored a multi-platinum album entitled Magic Melodies.
A number of acts did not deviate from straight-forward pop: The Kings, Teenage Head, Straight Lines, Sheriff, and Red Rider (whom we'll feature later in conjunction with front man Tom Cochrane's solo career). But it was primarily the solo artists who performed mainstream pop and a few of them were to become the biggest names in Canadian music history.
Diane Tell (who also performed with aforementioned UZEB), Véronique Béliveau, and Martine Saint-Clair made headways in French Canada. René's little sister Nathalie Simard became a child star in the early 80s. In 1983, Céline Dion emerged and blew everyone in the province away. We'll talk about her later when she achieved international superstardom.
In English Canada, debuts from women were notably absent during this period. For the men, however, it was a very different story. From Montréal, an English singer who liked to wear sunglasses at night released a sleeper hit album in 1983. No one knew just how popular he was to become by the middle of the decade. His name was Corey Hart. An ex-Sweeney Todd Vancouverite singer got some attention with his "Let Me Take You Dancing" in 1979. But, frustrated with his lack of big success, he teamed up with songwriter Jim Vallance, changed his singing style from smooth to gravelly, and released Cuts Like a Knife in early 1983. For Bryan Adams all hell broke loose, and he captivated the nation eventually becoming the most successful Canadian artist of all-time. The biggest male name in French songs was perhaps Manitoba-born Daniel Lavoie. Although he started out in the 70s, his popularity skyrocketed in the early 80s, and he garnered a few Félix Awards. In 1998, he teamed up with two other singers and released the third best-selling single of all time in France.
The best-selling albums during the period were those from Anne Murray, Loverboy, Ginette Reno, and the aforementioned Eric Robertson. Another big-seller was the novelty comedy record Bob & Doug McKenzie's Great White North responsible for a couple of hit songs, including the Geddy Lee (Rush) led "Take Off".
It is also worth noting that, outside of Québec, which had a very productive year, significant Canadian music was practically non-existent in 1984. Sherry Kean scored a Top 20 hit with "I Want You Back" and Italy-born Zappacosta became known in some circles with his debut release. But no Canadian song made the weekly Top 10 in the RPM charts throughout the entire year. Furthermore, no Canadian song made the year-end CHUM chart, and the Juno Awards were delayed. What happened in 1985, however, was to more than make up for it.
With the ever-increasing popularity of music videos, Canada launched a national channel called MuchMusic at the end of August in 1984. Although criticized for focussing too much on music from and that appealed to Torontonians (where the station was based), and showcasing too much American-style black and Spanish music, it enabled a number of Canadian artists to gain exposure and make breakthroughs. Two years later, a French language version was aired called MusiquePlus.
MuchMusic was also criticized for airing too many movies, game and reality shows when most people tuned in to see the MVs. The channel responded to all the criticism by launching MuchMoreMusic in 1998 which played more MVs and music that appealed more to adult Canadians.
Eventually, MuchMusic replaced CBC's Good Rockin' Tonite which was broadcast from Vancouver.
Coming up, we'll provide a list of significant Canadian songs in the early 80s, followed by a special feature on Bob & Doug McKenzie's The Great White North album, and then mini-profiles on semi-major acts Martha and the Muffins, The Parachute Club, Martine St-Clair, and Toronto, and finally individual profiles on major artists Men Without Hats, The Payola$, Loverboy, Diane Tell, Véronique Béliveau, Corey Hart, Daniel Lavoie, and Bryan Adams.

Another Public Enemy (US - DVD R1)
Gabe watches another Asian crime drama, and writes another review...
"Yeeeeeaaah Boy!"
Unfortunately, this Korean prosecution thriller has nothing to do with the seminal works of Hip-Hop's legendary politically minded super group, or the downfall of back-up rapper Flava Flav (remember when he was part of one of the most important musical acts of all time, not just the star of increasingly awful reality shows?). The plot revolves around the best damn Prosecutor, Cheol-jung Kang and his adventures in making the bad guys pay. This time around (the film is a sequel) Kang attempts to bring down a corrupt brat of an overlord named Sang-woo Han, who is trafficking his family's money to the United States in the guise of a golf resort.
Han, in true horrible asshole form is even willing to off his own brother, but his real evil is in the disrespect he shows the middle and lower classes. Only a real jerk could see himself as superior to working slobs the world over. Kang has got to take him down, on principle if nothing else, and he's willing to risk his career (which he doesn't really seem to like all that much anyway) to see Han rot in a jail cell for the rest of his natural life. We're with you Prosecutor Kang!
It's more fun to watch a bad movie than it is to watch a mediocre one. The spite and anger one experiences while feeling ripped off by utter garbage is actually preferable to the apathy of finding oneself not really caring either way. Another Public Enemy is probably the most average Asian action/crime/drama I've had the hypomnesiatic pleasure of viewing since the vanilla adventures of The Heroic Duo (sorry Tartan, you guys are a great studio, these movies just aren't). Nothing interesting happens for hours, but the filmmakers are just talented enough to keep one from passing out.
The direction and cinematography are actually pretty good, as is the character dialogue, and some of the actors are downright outstanding. It's a pity none of these talented people have an interesting or original plot to work with. The film, which is the sequel to another film I know nothing about, plays more like a three part episode of a weekly TV series than a movie. I'm pretty sure I'm suppose to already have some attachment to these characters going into the story, thus making the hurdles they have to surmount more dramatic, but the truth is that despite the solid acting, and interesting quirks, I just didn't care what happened to them.
The movie starts with a bang, tracing the early relationship of the lead pro and antagonist, who attended school together. The youths are involved in epic school rivalry fistfights, set to rock music, and shot like a commercial. I thought I was in for an over the top, semi-surrealistic romp, especially when the proceeding introduction to our hero had him sitting in his car and practicing smiling exercises to an instructional audio tape. Once the characters are set, however, nothing really happens four about an hour, which accounts for the film's two hour and twenty minute running time. Simply said, this is far too derivative material to be harping on for this amount of time.
The surprises are few and far between. Each twist in the plot has already been bled dry by countless American TV shows like Law and Order, and its millions of follow-up incarnations. When an unforeseen event finally occurs at about the halfway mark, the plot has lost far too much momentum for anyone other than series fans to really get excited. Even the later action sequences feel painfully truncated, especially considering how well done some of them are.
The most interesting thing about the film is its supposed popularity in its native South Korea. The base plot is very much a salaryman's wet dream, an oversimplification of the class struggle told in comic book terms. This may speak volumes for the political beliefs of the average South Korean, a culture I know very little about. Films like this, where the little guy triumphs over the ridiculously evil rich man use to be a dime a dozen here in the US. If only Another Public Enemy would've had some pace to it, it could've been a rollicking, get up and cheer when the rich man gets it, because deep down we want to think bad things about people who have more than us kind of flick. I suppose the genre should probably have a shorter name when I get around to patenting it.
"A get get up, a get get down/ 911's a joke in your town."
New movies usually make for good-looking DVDs, and Another Public Enemy is no exception. Colours are rich and vibrant. There isn't any grain, dirt, or artefacting of any kind to be found. Detail levels are high, which creates the transfer's only real problem—edge enhancement. Sometimes edge enhancement can be a bit of a burden, but the error comes and goes, and never hurts the film profoundly. Tartan USA has really been doing a bang up job on transfers lately (though the film's I've been watching from them are all pretty new in vintage), putting the companies early UK muck-ups far enough out of memory to re-establish a genuine degree of trust.
"Bass—how low can you go?"
Another Public Enemy, as I've stated in my film review, isn't exactly the most exciting experience, a fact on display in the modest DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround tracks. When something actually happens the soundtrack is warm and deep enough. The car crashes have particular punch to them. I noticed no distortion of sync issues, and the majority of the surround effects work as they're suppose to. The music can be abrasive at times, but this is more due to its clichéd nature. When something dramatic happens the sound swells, when action occurs techno-rock is cued up, all the obvious marks of a composer who either doesn't care, or isn't very interesting.
One of the hardest things to do as a DVD reviewer is sit through a commentary track when you didn't like watching an overlong film very much the first time. Occasionally a commentary will be more entertaining than the film, and the track on Another Public Enemy starts out strongly. The track features director Woo-Suk Kang (when I make a movie, I'm going to name the hero after myself too) and the two leads. The titbits don't fly too fast, but are consistent, and for the most part interesting. Remember how I said something about the flashback opening feeling like it came out of another film? Well, it turns out it was directed by another director, and wasn't exactly what Woo-Suk wanted. Unfortunately the players seem to run out of steam about half way through the film, and the commentary track falls all but silent.
The behind the scenes footage is fly-on-the-wall type stuff, mixed with brief interviews with the actors where they explain their character's motivations. Good stuff for fans, but pretty dull if you weren't to into the flick to begin with. The separate making of dedicated to the all too brief car crash is slightly more engaging, but smells suspiciously of EPK material. The features are finished off with the usual random selection of Tartan Asia Extreme releases, though why this particular film counts as 'Extreme' is beyond me.
"I can't do nuthin' for you man."
Another Public Enemy is a passable chapter in the popular series. Perhaps if I'd seen the original Public Enemy I'd appreciate the sequel a bit more, but the plot is definitely stand-alone. There are some great performances here, though. Basically it comes down to the film's epic length, if you can sit through it without pausing to take a break, you're ahead of me, and this may be your cup of tea. The DVD is pretty nice, with a bright (maybe too bright) transfer, an above average soundtrack, and some decent special features. Tartan does another good job with a film of questionable quality.

What is Thai massage?
Thai massage, also called Thai yoga massage, combines acupressure and assisted yoga postures. Thai massage is based on the flow of energy through the body and focuses on energy lines called "sen." It doesn't use oils or lotions and, instead of rubbing muscles, the massage therapist compresses, pulls, stretches and rocks the recipient's body to promote the flow of energy through these sen. In this form of massage therapy, practitioners use their hands, knees, legs and feet to apply deep muscle compression and stretch the body. It's often performed on a mat on the floor instead of on a massage table. Like most forms of massage, Thai massage is used to relieve stress, improve range of motion and enhance flexibility. Some people also use Thai massage to address a range of health issues, including:
- Relieving tension headaches
- Decreasing back pain
- Reducing joint stiffness and pain
- Stimulating circulation and lymphatic drainage
- Boosting energy
Because a traditional Thai massage session covers all of the muscles in your body, it typically lasts 90 minutes to 120 minutes.
How much do you tip a massage therapist?
All forms of massage therapy, from Thai massage to Swedish massage to deep tissue massage, are similar to other spa or hospitality services. So it's appropriate to tip a massage therapist the standard hospitality rate of 15 percent to 20 percent of the cost of the session. For example, the national average cost for a deep tissue massage is $70-$90, so expect to tip $12-$18. Of course, you can always tip more or less depending on your experience, especially if you've opted for extra services. For example, expect to tip more for a couple's hot stone massage session that includes aromatherapy. Also, if you're paying with a gift certificate or coupon, or purchasing a discounted multi-session package, make sure to calculate your tip based on the full price of the massage.

From the website Vivificat the wonderful O Antiphons of the octave before Christmas. If you pray the Liturgy of the Hours from Christian Prayer, I commend a comparison of this translation with the pathetic ICEL version.
I – December 17
O SAPIENTIA, quae ex ore Altissimi prodiisti, attingens a fine usque ad finem fortiter suaviterque disponens omnia: veni ad docendum nos viam prudentiae.
O Wisdom, who comes from the mouth of the Most High (Sirach 24:5), you extend to the ends of the earth, and order all things with power and sweetness (Wisdom 8:1): come and teach us the way of wisdom (Proverbs 9:6).( Here's the ICEL - all the brevity of Latin with none of its powerful economy. I won't post comparisons with the rest - it's just too sad.)
Wisdom, O holy Word of God, you govern all creation with your strong yet tender care. Come and show your people the way to salvation.
II – December 18
O ADONAI, dux domus Israel, qui Moysi in igne flammae rubi apparuisti, et in Sina legem dedisti: veni ad redimendum nos in brachio extenso.
O Lord (Exodus 6:2, Vulgate), leader of the house of Israel, who appeared to Moses in the fire of the burning bush (Exodus 3:2) and on Mount Sinai gave him the law (Exodus 20): come and free us with your powerful arm (Exodus 15:12-13).
III – December 19
O RADIX Iesse, qui stas in signum populorum, super quem continebunt reges os suum, quem gentes deprecabuntur: veni ad liberandum nos, iam noli tardare.
O Root of Jesse, who stands as a sign for the peoples (Isaiah 11:10), the kings of the earth are silent before you (Isaiah 52:15) and the nations invoke you: come to free us, do not delay (Habakkuk 2:3).
IV – December 20
O CLAVIS David et sceptrum domus Israel, qui aperis, et nemo claudit; claudis, et nemo aperit: veni et educ vinctum de domo carceris, sedentem in tenebris et umbra mortis.
O Key of David (Isaiah 22:23), scepter of the house of Israel (Genesis 49:10), who opens and no one may shut; who shuts and no one may open: come, free from prison captive man, who lies in darkness and the shadow of death (Psalm 107: 10, 14).
V – December 21
O ORIENS, splendor lucis aeternae et sol iustitiae: veni et illumina sedentem in tenebris et umbra mortis.
O Star who rises (Zechariah 3:8; Jeremiah 23:5), splendor of the eternal light(Wisdom 7:26) and sun of justice (Malachi 3:20): come and enlighten those who lie in darkness and the shadow of death (Isaiah 9:1; Luke 1:79).
VI – December 22
O REX gentium et desideratus earum, lapis angularis qui facis utraque unum: veni et salva hominem quel de limo formasti.
O King of the nations (Jeremiah 10:7) and their desire (Haggai 2:7), cornerstone (Isaiah 28:16), who reunites Jews and pagans into one (Ephesians 2:14): come and save the man whom you formed from the earth (Genesis 2:7).
VII – December 23
O EMMANUEL, rex et legifer noster, expectatio gentium et salvator earum: veni ad salvandum nos, Dominus Deus noster.
O Emmanuel (Isaiah 7:14), our king and lawgiver (Isaiah 33:22), hope and salvation of the peoples (Genesis 49:10; John 4:42): come to save us, O Lord our God (Isaiah 37:20).

Last year, the Kershaw County School District (KCSD) received a $300,000 mentoring grant, specifically targeted for students in fifth through eighth grades.
Steve Catoe had half of a heart and no breath.
The Kershaw County School District (KCSD) has $2.6 million left in its Installment Purchase Plan (IPP) fund which was used to finance the first phase of the school equalization building and renovation program.
A few weeks ago, I went to the movies to see "The Help." I hadn't read Kathryn Stockett's book yet, and to be honest, I didn't even plan on reading it until after I saw the movie.
The Kershaw County School District is temporarily suspending a new $25 S.C. Law Enforcement Division (SLED) background check for volunteers. KCSD Communications Director Mary Anne Byrd said the move is in response to concerns from community members.
Three months ago, Lugoff-Elgin High School (L-EHS) parents Mike and Marti Gogan sent an email to Kershaw County School District (KCSD) Superintendent Dr. Frank Morgan, expressing concern that the school district was in violation of Title IX federal funding regulations.
It's back-to-school time again.
During the 2010-11 fiscal year, 688 Safe Schools/Healthy Students (SSHS) grant services were provided to 597 Kershaw County School District (KCSD) students. Those 597 students had more unexcused absences, disciplinary referrals for simple and aggravated assault, as well as more out-of-school suspensions than the overall student body who did not receive any services, according to SSHS Project Director Kevin Rhodes.
You may have seen her appear in episodes of the hit television shows "True Blood" and "Mad Men," or even watched her guest appearances on "Glee" and "The Office."
When Kershaw County residents began to hold their own tea parties and receptions in honor of Prince William and Kate Middleton's April 29 nuptials, Celena Traynham, ABC, started thinking about ways that her residents at Karesh Long Term Care Center could also get in on the fun.
Two new members will be joining the ranks of the Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, President Robbie Powers reported at Thursday's meeting.
"Angry Management" is back.
When Lee Mays left the U.S. Air Force in 1963, he knew it was time to start his own private dentistry practice. Mays received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Maryland at Baltimore in 1960, and spent three years serving as a dentist in the Air Force.
The Kershaw County School District (KCSD) received $1.7 million worth of donated volunteer hours and items during the 2010-11 academic year, according to a Partners in Education report.
Last year, I wrote a column defending MTV's popular reality show, "Teen Mom."

Thermaltake Contac 29 Review
A staple in the overclocking world, as we all know, is the way a processor is kept cool. There are so many choices as to what brand, type, size, and method available to users to accomplish this task. Of course, the most common is air cooling. Many denominations of air cooling are also available such as construction material, size, with or without heatpipes, and, of course, price. As more manufacturers develop different features and additions to their product lines, consumers may find it difficult to make a decision on what will work best for them. Hopefully, with the reviews available on OverclockersClub, we can make it easier.
A very popular brand in the computer accessory industry is Thermaltake. Thermaltake offers products such as power supplies, cases, fans, and heatsinks. Their newest Contac 29 will be tested in this review. The Contac 29 is compatible with Intel 775, 1156, and 1366 as well as AMD AM2, AM2+, and AM3 platforms. This cooler utilizes three 8mm heatpipes with direct contact. Direct contact coolers are those that have a part of the surface of the heatpipes in direct contact with the CPU. These can usually perform better as the heat does not have to transfer through any other medium to take advantage of the heatpipes. This review will consist of overall observations of the cooler, as well as test results when paired with some of the latest hardware.
Closer Look
The Thermaltake Contac 29 is packaged in a white box. The box is finished with high quality graphics and a large list of specifications and features. The heatsink is packaged with one 120mm fan set up in a push configuration with the ability to add a second fan.
Opening the package will expose a plain white cardboard box with two holes in the top used to pull out the inner box. The heatsink itself is protected inside of this inner box that is kind of "folded" around it with a sheet of quarter inch protective foam covering the exposed side. After removing the foam sheet, the walls of the inner box can be folded back to release the heatsink. Inside of the inner box is the mounting hardware. The hardware includes four pushclips just like the ones on the stock heatsinks, four screws to hold the clips to the heatsink, a small tube of Thermaltake thermal paste, and four extra rubber holders if the user chooses to add an additional fan.
So far, this heatsink looks pretty reasonable for a $30 bite out of the wallet. On the next page, I will take a closer look at the heatsink itself and share my evaluations.

Haako 936 ESD Solder Station - Get one if you can!
I was going to post a nice article about my favorite inexpensive soldering station, Haako 936 ESD, and found that it has been discontinued! It was replaced by a newer model in Feb 2011.
Unfortunately, I cannot attest to the quality of the replacement, the Hakko FX-888 Soldering Station. If I were a maker who wanted to solder, i would search the internet until I found a new in box 936 ESD. You should expect to pay about $90 and buy some replacement sponges so you have them. The 936 comes with a great tip for through-hole soldering and can even do big SMT devices out of the box.
One of the best features of the 936 is a great selection of tips. That makes it a very versatile iron. It also heats up quickly and maintains the tip temperature so it gives great results.
If you cant find a 936 I would try the replacement solder station. It appears to use a similar soldering iron and based on the reputation of the 936 one would expect the same reliability and quality.
I have to add another note. I have used other solder stations such as Metcal and Weller. Metcal is the absolute best solder station I have used and as a company Weller is without reservation the worst. Haako performs almost as good as a Metcal and is 1/4 to 1/8th the price. If someone gave me a brand new Weller solder station I would promptly sell it with apologies.
6 comments
* Lead-free capable
* Temperature adjustable from 220-480°C (428-896°F)
* Includes 900M tip
* 50W Iron
Soldering Station TOL-09672
Yeah, this blows my $9 Radio Shack special out of the water.
I'll post a meetup asap today.
If you do a web search for "Hakko 936 clone", you will find many options starting at about $30.
Personally, I'm very happy with my Xytronic station - I bought it 20 years ago, and it still works fine. I use it more than the Metcal since it's adjustable and the tips are cheap.

The Knight Campus Art Gallery presents "David Frazer: Improvisation – Call and Response," featuring paintings the Rhode Island School of Design professor created in 2011-12, through Oct. 25.
A reception with the artist will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 18, at the gallery, with an artist talk at 6.
Frazer said the title of this exhibition, "Call and Response," is a tradition of improvised exchange in music as well as an act of communication within species. "As a painter, I begin with improvisation and proceed by 'call and response,' one condition suggesting another," he writes. "I improvise using the methods of abstract expressionism to generate chaos while ironically trying to control it. My desire as a painter is not to tell a story that has a conclusion but to reflect what is seen in my mind's eye.
Hubris allows us to think we can coexist with nature while trying to control it. Self-serving mythologies give us 'dominion over the earth,' and this belief allows us to exploit our natural resources at others' expense and, ultimately, our own. Contradictions abound, making our lives chaotic and our environment dangerous. Paradoxically I want my work to embody all the contradictions, danger and chaos I see around us while simultaneously trying to embrace them."
Frazer said he is a linear painter with a love of graphic clarity and formal construction. "I also believe in avoiding claims to objective truth, so I allude to collage and transfer imagery while painting everything by hand. I use templates to repeat the motifs of eggs and birds that create compositional structure while enhancing their presence as metaphors. While the question of whether these paintings are abstract or representational may be legitimate, it is not one that can ever be answered definitively," he writes. "These paintings are not observations of nature, nor are they concerned with conventional notions of beauty; they are psychic landscapes that are always slippery, contradictory and answerless. Simply stated, I love the tradition of painting that is entirely self-indulgent yet struggles to do good and to be good."
Frazer, a professor in the painting department in the Fine Arts Division at RISD since 1978, holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from RISD and a Master's degree in painting from the University of New Mexico. He teaches sophomore painting and first-year MFA painting. He is the chairman of RISD's European Honors Committee and was the chief critic in Rome for that program from 1995-98 and director/teacher of the RISD Rome Summer Programs in architecture, painting and art history from 1995-2007. His honors include faculty development grants in 1991 and 1997; sponsored research at Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts (now the China Academy of Art) in Hangziou, China, in 1988; inclusion in the 2006 Gongju International Art Festival in South Korea; and lecturing and teaching workshops at a number of universities including Chu Ang University in South Korea, Brown University, Skidmore College and Adelphi University. He has exhibited in the United States, Europe and Asia.
The gallery is located in Room 3500, on the third floor of the round building at the Warwick campus, 400 East Ave. Gallery hours are from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday. For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Export Control
If there is a desire to transition a technology to the global market, then export control needs to be addressed. Export control involves multiple government agencies, and companies must be in compliance with export regulations. Within DoD, the focal point on export controls is the Defense Technology Security Administration (DTSA). The Department of State and the Department of Commerce are the lead agencies responsible for regulations governing the export of defense articles, commercial items, and dual-use items. Export authorization can be revoked, suspended, or amended by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) for a variety of reasons.
The two primary export regulations are the:
- International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), issued by the Department of State, which controls the export of defense-related articles and services ensuring compliance with the Arms Export Control Act (22 USC 2778).
- Export Administration Regulation (EAR), issued by the Department of Commerce, which controls the export of dual-use items (items that have both commercial and military or proliferation applications) and purely commercial items. Many items subject to the EAR are set forth by Export Control Classification Numbers on the Commerce Control List.
Additional information on the subject of export control can be found in Appendix C of the CTTSO Technology Transition Handbook.

The key to using ClinicalTrials.gov is learning how to use their search tools. To get useful search results, you search by gender, location, and disease. For a full listing of all search limits and other search tips, check out these links that will help you learn how to get the best results fast.
Using the ClinicalTrials.gov Results Database (20 min., MLA Annual Meeting Theater Presentation, May 2014)
Below are some examples showing how to do a search. The number of studies listed will change from day to day as new studies are added and others are removed when they are finished. Click on the links to find out about studies and see how these tools can help you get the most useful list of results.
Using "AND" is one of the easiest ways to reduce the number of results in your search. Putting the word "AND" (all upper case) in the search phrase tells the tool to only display results that contain both words.
heart attack 1853 study results heart attack AND aspirin 197 study results heart attack AND aspirin AND older adults 7 study results heart attack AND aspirin AND older adults AND California 1 study result
Using "OR" allows you to get more results. This can be used to include different words that have similar meanings; for example, to find studies for older adults use words such as: older adult, senior, or aged. Using "OR" helps find all the ways older adults may be described.
older adults 5,318 study results older adults OR senior 75,426 study results older adults OR senior OR aged 78,884 study results
Using "NOT" allows you to avoid a large number of results that you do not want.
Immunodeficiency 3762 study results Immunodeficiency NOT AIDS 196 study results
Using "Parenthesis" ( ) allows you to combine the AND, OR, and NOT terms together into one search, allowing for the most specific result.
Immunodeficiency NOT (AIDS OR Stem Cell) 142 study results
A few extra tips:
To search for AND as a word instead of using it as an operator, put it in quotes. Likewise, you can quote OR, NOT, and parentheses.
Abbreviations - When looking for a specific disease or condition, also consider common abbreviations for well-known diseases, such as 'HCL' (Harry Cell Leukemia) or 'ALS' (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).
Limit your search to open studies
After developing your list of search terms to get the most useful results, you may further narrow your results by only searching trials that are recruiting participants. At the top of the list, you will find a link that states, "Hide studies that are not seeking new volunteers".
