Motion Theory is a UK based band who play, as they dubbed it themselves, alternative progressive rock. With hints of classical music, Radiohead, Rush, Led Zeppelin, but also Japan and many others, their sound is very eclectic, yet modern progressive.
I got in touch with the band and Dom Main answered my questions.
When and by whom was your band born? Did any of you, past and present members, play in any other bands before joining up in your band? Why did you choose that name and which bands were you influenced by?
This story could go on for ages (can't they always!). Jamie and Will have played together for years and years, all through school. James has been basically tied to a bass for years as well, and has played in more bands than we've managed to count successfully. Dom had sung in the bathroom quite a lot. Jamie met James at uni and they started jamming about, then Will turned up a year later and joined in. They were looking for a singer and put posters all over the place and after a (not at all) gruelling audition Dom completed the lineup.
The name was definitely a late night brainstorming session option I think now we've been doing this a while we might have a few more specific ideas that say more about us, but we're happy with MT, even if people always ask if it's something to do with Physics or something.
Influences wise, we're all from quite different musical backgrounds. In particular, James has always been primarily a punk bassist. We all listen to all sorts of music, and we're always swapping suggestions. These days we usually say somewhere between Nine Inch Nails and Elbow, although it's always in some flux.
If I am not mistaken, you met up in the cold north in Durham, moved to the slightly warmer Manchester and have now relocated to London in the south. Is the universities/student scenes your main audience or what do you define as your main audience?
Our main audience has always been people who are prepared to listen a bit more closely to the music they're hearing. We hope we don't get judged based on where we're from or what we look like, and we don't judge the people who come to our gigs like that either. As it happens we seem to get all sorts!
Over to your three releases. Your debut was the Sunlight on the Sand EP from 2008. Please tell us more about this EP.
It was interesting because it was really more of a proof of concept thing, the guys had basically jammed out these 5 songs before Dom joined the band at all, and had lyrics for some of them. Dom joined weeks before the first gig, started recording almost immediately and was writing lyrics for the first time in his life within a few days of starting. We had a lot of fun making it, even if we don't musically have that much in common with those songs these days.
You followed up that EP with your debut album Featherhead in 2009. Please tell us more about this album.
Featherhead was a really positive time for us, we had been together regularly to write and play for almost a year, and had tried to explore a range of sounds together. If you listen to Featherhead you'll find it's somewhat musically schizophrenic. The title track in particular was a real breakthrough for us, lyrically and musically. We still end practically every gig with that song, and never get tired of playing it.
Your third and most recent release is the It's Not As Dark As That, Friend EP from earlier this year. Please tell us more about this EP.
'It's Not as Dark as That, Friend' has come together over quite a while, although we're now almost all in London, we've been all over the place for the last year and a half. Writing together has had to happen in brief stints over Christmas and in the summer and the recording was done in bedrooms across the UK. The excellent Duncan Williams was somehow able to stitch all the bits together and make a record we're really proud of. It's getting closer to what we want to do together. It's easy when you start out doing this to just try and emulate your heroes, but only by being honest with yourself and your audience can you make anything worth listening to, and we are really trying to keep that in mind.
From where can your releases be purchased?
You can find everything you could possibly desire at www.motiontheoryband.com. Seriously, everything.
For those of us unfamiliar with your music; how would you describe you music
and which bands would you compare yourself with?
'Alternative Rock'. As vague as possible! Somewhere between Nine Inch Nails and Elbow works pretty well as a discription. We don't ever really try to fit into a particular style so things sometimes go in unexpected ways!
How is the creative processes in your band from coming up with an idea to it's being recorded?
Depends on the song! Some of them are born out of jams, some come from a lyrical idea which we consider while fitting music to the words.
Recording can only happen when the songs are finished and we don't like the idea of recording anything we can't do live at a show, so gigging the songs is important to see how they work in front of people. Writing is a very collaborative process for us though.
You have just released the EP. What is your current status and what is your plans for the immediate future?
We're starting to think about new material, and about moving down to London. We'd like to crack out a few new things to get excited about and then really start gigging more regularly in a smaller area than before. It'd be nice to have a base to work from! We are really excited about making new music together, and exploring all the questions our work on iNaDaT,F has raised for us creatively.
To wrap up this interview, is there anything you want to add to this interview ?
Thanks so much for making it this far! Check out our music & get in touch if you like. You complete us.
Thank you to Dom for this interview

Good band, but when they will make an epic song?
No, seriously, they are great. And I like the fact they are against the loudness on their albums production.

Cheers Tupan! We probably make the mixing and mastering far harder for ourselves but we are pretty pleased with the result. It's a shame more people don't take the time to do it properly rather than just throwing compressors at the track.

Alabama Basketball: Trevor Releford, JaMychal Green, Andrew Steele SuspendedFebruary 11, 2012
Sophomore point guard Trevor Releford, senior forward JaMychal Green and redshirt junior guard Andrew Steele, all starters, have been suspended from Alabama's basketball team for violating team rules. The three were sent home from Baton Rouge and joined junior forward Tony Mitchell, who is also suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.
"We are extremely disappointed in the choices and decisions made by these young men that has led to this suspension," head coach Anthony Grant said in statement. "Talent is a gift, but character is a choice. The consequences of their choices have negatively impacted them as individuals and the people that love and support them. Our hope is that they will be mature enough to accept responsibility for their actions and place a higher value on their character."
The combo of Releford, Green, Steele and Mitchell account for 59.8 percent of Alabama's scoring. With the new suspensions, Alabama loses its team leader in assists, steals, minutes played and the conference leader in free-throw percentage (Releford); the team leader in offensive rebounds and free throw attempts, as well as the only senior (Green); and the second-best free throw shooter as well as the player with the most knowledge of the system, after being an assistant coach during his battle with concussions and ankle injuries (Steele).
Alabama will take the court tonight with only two players averaging over 20 minutes per game: freshmen guards Levi Randolph and Trevor Lacey. None of the remaining players in Baton Rouge average double-digit points or have more than four rebounds per game.
After tonight's game against LSU, Alabama has to return home for the toughest home stretch of the season, playing Florida on Feb. 14 and Tennessee on Feb 20. Since all four suspensions are indefinite with no set timetable for a return, it is unclear if any of the players will be back for either game.

Submitted April 4, 2013

The Honorable Nancy Skinner
Chair of the Assembly Rules Committee
California State Capitol
Sacramento, CA 95814
Fax: 916-319-2115
RE: AB 127 (Skinner) – SUPPORT
Dear Assemblymember Skinner,
On behalf of the Northern California Chapter of Architects/ Designers/ Planners for Social Responsibility (ADPSR), I am writing to express support for AB 127 (Skinner), the Safer Building Insulation bill. AB 127 calls for a code revision to reduce the use of flame retardant chemicals in building insulation while maintaining building fire safety and encouraging healthy building practices. Specifically, AB 127 recognizes the potential adverse health effects of the chemical flame retardants commonly used in building insulation. Once implemented, AB 127 will make building insulation safer and less toxic, without reducing fire safety for building occupants.
Established in 1981 as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, ADPSR works for peace, environmental protection, ecological building, social justice, and the development of healthy communities. ADPSR programs aim to raise professional and public awareness of critical social and environmental issues, further responsive design and planning, and honor persons and organizations whose work exemplifies social responsibility.
Plastic foam insulation is used in buildings to achieve energy efficiency goals. Flame retardant chemicals are added to these materials in an attempt to reduce fire risk. Unfortunately, these same flame retardants can escape from the insulation throughout its life cycle and end up in our indoor and outdoor environments. Here in California, the ubiquitous presence of flame retardants in our environments and in our bodies is well documented. We have higher levels of flame retardants in our bodies than anywhere else in the United States, and much higher levels than in Europe. The potential for these chemicals to adversely affect our health, and especially the health of our children, is cause for concern. Additionally, once the flame retardants do catch fire, they are toxic to breathe in, which can cause harm to emergency responders. Finally, there are no good ways to dispose of insulation with these flame retardants without further polluting our environment. Together these concerns are cause for action.
Current building code requires both: (1) that a thermal barrier be installed to provide fire protection, and (2) that insulation pass a flammability test. The code does not specifically call for the use of flame retardants on plastic foam insulation. However, it is common practice to use flame retardants to meet the code requirements.
Given the toxicity concerns surrounding flame retardants, it is time for the code to be updated so that flame retardant chemicals are not de facto required when they add no fire safety benefit. AB 127 calls for a building code revision to reduce the use of flame retardant chemicals in building insulation while maintaining building fire safety and encouraging healthy building practices.
We strongly support AB 127.
Cate Leger for the Northern California Chapter of ADPSR

Capitol Thieves
Editor: A group of people force me, upon threat of imprisonment, to give them one-third of my income. When these people call themselves the government and use my money for the public good, then such coercion is acceptable, because I'm part of the public. But when, as The Sun reports (Nov. 4, "There's pork aplenty in that 'bare bones' budget"), these people give the money to private interests, which then in effect kick back part of it in the form of campaign contributions, it is robbery. Congress isn't just wasting taxpayers' money; it's stealing it.
Henry Cohen
Editor: Dorothy Siegel in her letter of Nov. 16 feels that parents should be removed from their children's homework situation. She asserts that when a student does not complete work or has made errors, time should be set aside by the teacher to do it.

Professor Lenny Moss
My interests in philosophy and science both go back to my early teens but they were conceived in very different contexts, and nurtured in very different moods. The twists and turns, engagements and disengagements that have led to their coming together have surely constituted a principal leitmotif of my intellectual life. Where my scientific intrigues may have been seduced by the well-crafted, pseudo-utopian rhetoric, arfully deployed in the New York World�s Fair �pavilions� of Dupont Chemical, General Electric and the like, and further developmentally embedded by early �successes� in the seventh grade chemistry classroom of Mrs. Chasen�philosophy has always had a very different status for me. As philosophy was hardly on the career menu in the projects and terraces of Queens and Brooklyn in which I grew up, it has always been about something special, ill-behaved, revelatory, critical and tinged with a giddy promise of liberation. (Nor have I even yet come to be able to countenance the standpoint of those for whom a career in philosophy is taken, not as a provocation of the marvelous, but rather as a somber birthright).
Not every experience that cultivates and conditions one's purchase on or in the world finds a place on one's academic vita. Before settling into a life as a research scientist I ran corned beef and pastrami for a Kosher-style deli on Wall Street, hawked souvenirs for the 6-feet-wide-by 60-feet-deep Aquarium gift shop on Coney Island's boardwalk, devoted two summers as a camp counselor with brain-damaged and severely autistic children, washed pots and pans in the hot summer kitchen of Old Ebbit's Grill, endured the all-night, clean-up shift at the Sheraton Park Hotel, managed a non-profit 'radical' bookstore, founded a child-rearing commune, stuffed envelopes for the Washington Monthly, handled (albeit poorly) an off-set printing press for Tyler Buiness Services, set-up sherry-hour and searched the marijuana infused, back-stacks of the Library of Congress for the scholars (and political insiders) of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars when it was still housed in the Smithsonian's Castle on the Federal Mall, mixed bacterial media and autoclaved its finished fruit for San Francisco State University, and clocked-in for two and a half years with a former military intelligence officer named Carlton C. Crook ('It takes a Crook to catch a crook, Ma'am') collecting evidence of corporate collusion amongst major oil companies for the California State Attorney's office (until a Republican was elected governor and shut it down).

Rihanna Finally Unveiled the Cover, Title of Her Next Album
No release date, though.
At a private Wednesday night viewing, Rihanna and contemporary artist Roy Nachum transformed L.A.'s MAMA Gallery into the RiRi Gallery. The crowd? A smattering of fans and press. The art? The front and back of the singer's next album cover, which depicts a young RiRi holding a balloon, a gold crown shielding her eyes. "This is my favorite album cover I've ever done," Rihanna said, according to Billboard, which adds that the imagery is supposed to be a statement on vision and vision impairment. The work of poet Chloe Mitchell is also reportedly drizzled in Braille atop the entire piece. Added the pop star: "Sometimes the ones who have sight are the blindest."
The album, Rihanna's eighth studio release, will be titled Anti, which, as a placard inside noted, is a "person opposed to a particular policy, activity, or idea."
Here's its front:
Here is the cover to Rihanna's new album "ANTI."

Unfortunately, Rihanna left the event without giving anybody a clue as to when the album would actually be available. But since it's 2015, best to just be prepared for whenever. (Or forget all about this and be surprised. Whichever.)

text: I'm getting a CycloDS from DealWoot and when I added it to the cart, it also added a free screen protector. This is the one (except this one is separate and $5): http://www.dealwoot.com/index.php?target=p...roduct_id=29831 A few questions: 1- it says it's free ($0.00) on checkout, but is it really? 2- should I take the deal? 3- is it a good one or at least one that does the job? 4- anything else I didn't mention, but should know? I don't use screen protectors, but might take the deal if it's a good idea and since it's free. Any advice would be much appreciated. Also, I realize Hori is the best, but I didn't want one anyways. Will I regret using this one if I put it on? And if I don't like it, are they easy to remove?

Japan telecom bosses to take pay cuts
The president and five other top executives of Japan's biggest mobile phone operator will take pay cuts to apologise for a series of network troubles, NTT DoCoMo said Friday.
The firm admitted that it has struggled to deal with growing data traffic as smartphones boom in popularity, and pledged fresh investment to tackle the issue.
President Ryuji Yamada will have his remuneration reduced by 20 percent for three months while the other executives will take a 10 percent trim over the same period.
"I deeply apologise to our customers for the huge trouble," Yamada told a news conference.
The cuts were "a clear means of taking responsibility for causing the series of network malfunctions, and leakage of personal information," NTT DoCoMo said in a statement.
The company's most recent network problem came on Wednesday after the company renewed equipment to boost data processing capability, leaving 2.52 million subscribers offline for several hours.
In December, it suffered disruptions to its smartphone e-mail service, leading to a system glitch in which e-mail senders' addresses were replaced by those of other users.
The firm plans to invest 164 billion yen ($2.1 billion) by March 2015 to beef up its network and try to stabilise operations "in line with the rapid increase in the number of smartphone users," it said.
NTT DoCoMo is trying to grab a bigger slice of Japan's expanding smartphone market, but faces stiff competition from rivals Softbank and KDDI, both of which offer Apple's hugely populariPhone, which it does not.
The firm, which is part of the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone group, separately said its net profit for the nine months to December fell 11.1 percent from a year earlier to 394.6 billion yen.
Operating profit fell 1.9 percent to 743.8 billion yen for the period on revenue of 3.17 trillion yen, down 1.1 percent.
NTT DoCoMo slightly downgraded its full-year net profit forecast from 514 billion yen to 474 billion yen due to corporate taxation changes.

the other day i went out to lunch with a non-geeky friend. he's in his 50s and is pretty with it as far as his computer goes. for some reason, though, he hasn't been able to sync his palm to his computer. he has had a few people attempt it but all failed, so he wanted the "chief geek" to give it a go. i should also mention that he has a very geeky toy–that has since been discontinued–called the hp capshare. it's basically a portable scanner that lets you scan in documents, and when uploaded to a computer they're saved as pdfs. needless to say, it's a very impressive gadget, and i can't believe that hp killed it off. you can read a review of it and buy it on ebay if you don't mind paying upwards of $700+. anyway, the reason i told you about the capshare is because it was sort of causing the syncing problem for the palm. basically, the palm was plugged into com1 and the capshare was plugged into com2. instead of trying to figure out what was wrong with com1 initially, i decided to plug the palm into com2–and was able to sync. next i had to figure out what was wrong with com1. i went into the control panel and then modems (it was win98), and there was a modem showing up in com1. the strange thing is that there's no modem in this machine, and windows was saying it was a 9600 baud modem. so, i deleted the entry and then forced windows to search for a modem. after it didn't find one i plugged the hp capshare into com1 and was able to start playing. the entire process took about 20 minutes. i was expecting it to either not work or to take a lot longer, so i was thankful. as payment for my services he bought me a nice lunch. not bad for 20 minutes of tech support. how would you have begun troubleshooting this problem?

|windows . . . . (8:49am est thu dec 12 2002)
always starting strange problems like this. the worst thing about windows is the hardware addition/removal aspect. my poor co-worker was just trying to use a specific driver for her mouse, and the only way she knew to change the driver was to use the add/remove hardware interface. so she would remove the mouse using device manager, then use add/remove hardware. trouble is, if windows finds something it thinks it recognizes it goes ahead and decides for you what driver to use. i guess that is a feature that makes it easier for the non-geeks. when she finally asked me for some help she was really upset to see that there was a driver tab in the properties window of the mouse listing in the device manager. honestly, i think the process is too complicated.
anyway, yeah, joel, you did the same thing i would have done. i probably would have removed the modem, though. is there a chance that part of the capshare is treated like a modem? i doubt it. – by thomas
|i would have done the same (7:52pm est wed apr 02 2003)
… but i wouldn't necessarily have run the detect modem routine… could the computer have come from a manufacturer that commonly sells systems with modems installed, but in this case the user chose a model without the modem?
i would wonder.
good job, though :) – by ross
|multiple devices on board (3:30pm est thu apr 10 2003)
i get plenty of this with discount packaged computers- often a pci card will have multiple built-in hardware devices that substitute as low end devices such as cheap modems, sound cards, controller cards, et cetera. they are usually fairly difficult to get rid of since windows tries to detect them and install a new driver even after the current driver has been disabled…
…but a 9600baud modem? sheesh. ] – by velusip
|did some one say com issues? (9:06pm est fri oct 10 2003)
i have a franken-built pc at home running w2kpro, after my last fdisk/reimage, i'm having a problem getting the *&&^% thing to recognize the 56k modem that i want to use. (it's the same modem i've always used before, using the same image with no problems)
this time, ie doesn't see the modem, device manager shows the modem there, and everything is apparently both hunky and dory. the only issue i can find is that the modem is trying to use com3 because com1 is in use by another device. the modem won't work on com3, it has to be on either com 1, 2 or 4. i tried to add another com port, everything *seemed* to go ok, but now the computer won't boot. i can't boot from cd-rom and my boot disks and recovery console disks have taken a walk. any suggestions on how to fix this? – by ntfshead

The house under construction today.
Last Tuesday was the big town meeting we've been waiting for—the one to decide whether or not our plans to raise the house would be approved by our town. (A little ironic because the town demanded the variance in the first place.) The zoning "board" meets every month to determine the viability of house projects that need special attention. The town invites the homeowners to make a case for the request and asks the neighbors to debate it. The process always reminds me of the old movies where everyone in the small town gathers in the town hall to yell over one another and debate one person's issue; like a fallen tree, or an extended property line. As with most things in real life though, it's not like this film image at all.
If you live in the Northeast, you know that to say the weather last Tuesday was dreadful would be an understatement. Torrential rains resulted in flooding everywhere. The moral of the story being, I left Manhattan in a car at 4:30 pm for a 7 pm meeting and arrived at my destination at 8 pm. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Connecticut shoreline (sometimes I wish I wasn't)—the trip should only take about an 1 hour and 45 minutes.
It was a stressful chain of events as I sat helplessly in traffic, already nervous for a meeting that I slowly realized I wasn't making. Manhattanites—a breed of human used to being in control of every aspect of our lives—all understand how infuriating helplessness in traffic can be.
Luckily our Design Development team project manager, Tim (who was also stuck in traffic), managed to make the 7 pm meeting time. Cool as a cucumber, Tim handled the hearing like the pro that he is. Tim gave me an email play-by-play of the evening's events (kind of like commentating a tennis match)—and the good news is that the plans were approved; music to my ears. If there had been any sort of fight at the meeting, it would have been stressful beyond belief. So approved they were, and now it's in the hands of the engineer—he has to take what is drawn on paper and make it work in reality. Next on the agenda—permits and then we are all set to go, (God willing), and then the lifting begins!
My three and half-hour car ride turned out to be for naught. I arrived just as everyone was leaving—what a stage for the owner of the house to walk in on. If it had been like it was in the old movies, that's when the town mayor would have thrown me in the county jail for tardiness. A wasted trip was enough punishment for this New York career woman.
I included sketches of the cottage with a 5 ft lift and an 8ft lift. Which one do you think was approved?
8-foot raise
5-foot raise

So you have decided to go on a road trip to Darwin. You have determined travel dates and how long you plan to stay. You have even decided on a campervan hire and have arranged where to camp for the night. So there really is one thing left to do: listing down what you and your travel companions would do in Darwin once you arrive. Luckily, we have listed 5 activities you should not miss out on.
- Window On The Wetlands Tour – If you want to experience the natural landscapes and wildlife of Darwin and the rest of the North coast wetlands, go on the Window On The Wetlands tour. There are a number of interactive and educational exhibits that showcase the one-of-a-kind ecology of the region. Not only that, the tour gives visitors great insight into Abroginal and European history.
- Go on a Qantas Hangar Tour – Any automotive enthusiast will enjoy spending a day going on a Qantas Hangar Tour. Established in 1920, Qantas began with one aircraft that was primarily used for joy rides and the occasional mail delivery. Fast forward 14 years, Darwin had become an important part of air service between Europe and Australia, that Qantas had built a steel hangar in the outskirts of the city. The hangar was damaged by Japanese bombs in 1942 but was later on fixed, sold and eventually was leased by the Motor Vehicle Enthusiasts Club in 1999. Today, the hangar is known as the "man cave" to end all man caves as it is home to classic cars, engines, and even a steam train.
- Hike Up Edith Falls – Edith Falls is located in Nitmilluk National Park and is famous for its breathtaking views of the river, waterfalls cascading down the gully and tier after tier of rock pools. Edith Falls, in fact, is considered one of the most beautiful and underrated natural attractions in Australia. The best time to visit is between May and September, during the clear, dry season although the falls are never dried out through the year. Make sure to bring swimsuits and prepare for a day of fun.
- Visit Darwin Botanic Gardens – Darwin is home to unique ecosystems and landscapes and you can experience this firsthand when you visit Darwin Botanic Gardens. The gardens were designed and built to encompass vast flora endemic to the region as well as from Tiwil Island and Arnhem Land. There are also plenty of exhibits that feature replicas of woodlands, monsoon forests, coastal dunes and mangroves. There are more than 450 species of plants housed in the gardens and is only botanical garden in the world that has successfully housed natural exhibits of estuary and marine plants.
- Crocodylus Park Tour – If you are a reptile enthusiast, then you should not pass up spending a day at Crocodylus Park in Darwin. The tours emphasize education, conservation, and research of the animals and guests can even talk to the handlers and researchers that spend much time studying the reptiles. The museum is also a great way to brush up on your crocodile trivia, afterwards you can go outside to see freshwater crocodiles up close, as well as the bigger saltwater crocs. There are also a number of crocodile species from Papua New Guinea and The Philippines as well as American alligators. Oh, and there are also iguana, emus, lions, Burmese pythons, monkey, red kangaroos and more.
From cultural tours to hiking trails and close encounters with animals, there is certainly no shortage of things to do in Darwin. Whether you are in the city for the first time or a returning visitor, there is always something to do in Darwin and the rest of the region.
Darwin is also an absolutely epic region for fishing, and is one of the rare places one can catch the native jungle perch. For local fishing gear, we recommend using an Australian fishing tackle shop which can deliver to even the most remote regions within 2 days if ordered express.

During emergence situation they have the option to get loan from high interest rate it makes the situation even worse. They cannot repay the loan or they need to lose their property which they give as security. It is one of the biggest problems in bank and many other financial institutions if the borrowers fail to pay the loan amount they will take the property which the borrower gives as security. People who get loan need to lose their property if they make delay in their payments. Mostly people are getting loan to buy property it is sad for them to lose property to repay the loan.

You wouldn't, right? So, why are you spending all that money on auto insurance? However, before you dropped your auto insurance you should know that the majority of the states require that you carry at least minimum liability insurance. With a minimum liability insurance, any damage done to other persons property or person will be covered but not yours. Each level of insurance has a different deductible which is the part of the bill you are responsible before your insurance kicks in. The premium is the bill that you are responsible for each month in order to pay your insurance and maintain your coverage. How do you know then if you are carry too much auto insurance? If you currently carry full coverage and are looking to drop to collision only you should probably take a few factors into consideration. Some of the factors you need to look into before dropping your full coverage include: Do you own the car or is it on a lease? What is the value of the car you are looking to drop your full coverage on? Know that dropped to collision only will not cover you if hail breaks your windshield. How much are you currently paying for full coverage? After you take all of these factors into consideration, and only then, can you make an educated decision on whether or not to go to collision only.

For those who have holidays planned off work in September but do not yet know where they are going to go, we have prepared for you a list of trendy hotels in Majorca to make the choice easier for you. Majorca? Yes, it is the ideal place for prolonging the summer until the very end; with the crystalline water of the Mediterranean, the stunning coves, fun beach bars, hikes through the mountains, dinner in small villages in the seafront…
Hotels to go with children
Majorca is your destination. Even more so if you go with children. We know that travelling with the kids is a bit more difficult than travelling alone or with your partner. But, in any case, the solution is clear: choose a good hotel where the little ones have lots to do so you can enjoy the spaces and have time for yourself to relax.
What to ask for from a hotel in Majorca for the kids: a kids club is top priority as it will give you a lot more free time. The kids will enjoy themselves to no end, learning from their companions and monitors, making new friends and having a great time practicing sports and playing outdoors. If we want more, why not a pool with water games where they will always be watched over. Other interesting factors could be leisure activities and entertainment other than what is offered at the mini club; room sizes- whether or not they are adapted for families; the buffet and the ease of enjoying the destination away from the hotel.
Hotels to go with your partner
Undoubtedly easier as Majorca is an island full of plans for 2. If you want relaxation, endless nights, sport, shopping, art and history, then this island has all of this, as much in the capital, Palma, as in the different and charming traditional villages.
What to ask for from a hotel in Majorca for a couples holiday: something adapted to your hobbies and preferences. If you love nature and want to discover the scenery, hiking trails and natural caves, the best thing to do is look for a hotel near the Tramuntana Mountain Range. You can choose between the west and the north coast. Both have good access points to the trails for walking, running or cycling, among other sports. If you prefer to relax and look after your health whilst relieving stress, book a hotel with a spa or wellness area, that has either an indoor or outdoor pool, massage cabins and yoga or fitness classes on the beachfront. And if what you like to do is try new food, try the dining offer. Many hotels offer exclusive restaurants, themed meals, special days and local dishes for those who want to experience the true side to Majorca.
In regards to the current availability of hotels in Majorca for September there are many special offers available from the island's own hotel chains.

Surprising quality for the price!This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Hawk Eye 19553 months ago
I just bought this scope and it was near spot-on right out of the box. Elevation needed to come up a bit but windage is dead on. Never had that happen before! This scope is BUILT. The optics are sharp corner to corner and the illuminated reticle is adjustable over a wide range for optimum visibility. If there s one small negative feature, it would be the weight of the scope. On my S&W M&P 15 carbine it's not an issue, but it might be on a heavier rifle.In short, if you're in the market for a ... really decent scope and don't want to mortgage the farm, this is the way to go.

This scope works good for the price and the mounting is very sturdy and secure compared to other red dots like the BSA which I also have. Can change color but also has 4 choices of types of reticle. Although not shown in the photo, the one I purchased came with rubberized flip up caps for each end of the scope. Nice feature for the price.

As the weather starts to cool down, I start to crave hot coffee drinks and dark rich beers .
In today's beer world, brewing a good beer isn't good enough anymore. Brewers are looking for new ways to excite drinkers and attract new consumers. Coffee is a 3 billion dollar industry, so why wouldn't the craft brewers want to tap into this market. Amazingly, when I sample people that tell me they don't like "beer", I ask them if they like coffee and if the answer is "yes", I start them with stouts. This surprises a lot of people but when you think about it, stouts and porters really do taste more like cold coffee than "beer".
Coffee and stout share common tastes and flavor characteristics that make them perfect compliments. Roasted coffee beans are most similar to roasted barley—an important malt variety that makes a stout a stout—which has a similar chocolate, espresso trait. Brewers are even experimenting with adding coffee to other beer styles such as IPAs, kolsch and cream ales.
There are a couple ways to add coffee into beer. Brewers may steep the beans in either water or beer to impart java flavor without adding acidity. Some brewers age the beer on roasted coffee beans; others add coffee into the boil or into the fermentation; some steep grounds, making a "cold toddy"; still others simply add cold-brew coffee to the finished beer.
This year we have several coffee beers available. Starting with Alaskan Heritage brown ale. Partnering with Heritage Coffee Roasting Company out of Juneau AK, Alaskan has created this new fall seasonal. The Brazilian coffee flavor is very present in this brew but not overwhelming, allowing the subtle chocolate malt and cocoa flavors to shine through. This beer is very sessionable and satisfying.
Kona Pipeline Porter is finally back on the mainland after its short retreat to the Big Island. This beer is definitely a staple in Kona's seasonal selection. Brewed with Hawaiian Kona Coffee, this beer is smooth and rich with dark chocolate and rich roasted flavors.
What's funny is the big boy of this season features a toddler sitting in a highchair eating oatmeal on the label! Founders Breakfast Stout comes in at 8.3% ABV ; this creamy, delicious oatmeal stout is brewed with chocolate and two types of coffees. This beer was inspired over a decade ago when a regular brewery patron came into the brewery eating chocolate-covered espresso beans and offered one to co-founder Dave Engbers. Dave happily accepted and washed it down with a sip from his glass of porter, and the idea began. The plan started out as a Coffee Chocolate porter which later became the Oatmeal Stout we all know and love today.
If you haven't tried one of these beers I would highly encourage you to. They give you a warm, comfort feeling just like a nice cup of coffee!
Oktoberfest is a German tradition dating back to October 12, 1810. The largest celebration in the world takes place in Munich, Germany and it's a 16-day festival. It runs from late September to the first weekend in October with more than 6 million visitors from around the world attending.
The first Oktoberfest was to honor the marriage of Prince Ludwig and Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. The citizens of Munich were invited to attend the festivities held on the fields in front of the city gates to celebrate the event. The fields were named Theresienwiese ("Theresa's meadow") in honor of the Crown Princess, and have kept that name ever since. The festival was later moved to September to allow for better weather conditions and more outdoor activities and beer garden. There has been a parade that takes place the first Saturday of the fest since 1850, and serves as the official prelude to the Oktoberfest celebration. The parade showcases beautifully decorated horse teams from the breweries and the bands that play in the festival tents. It ends at the Theresienwiesn with the Mayor of Munich performing the official "Tapping of the Beer Keg" ceremony held at noon on the first day. The mayor cries out O'zapft –"It's tapped" which signals the opening of Oktoberfest. Then everyone can find their way to one of the many tents to enjoy beers brewed within Munich that follow the Reinheitsgebot "German Purity Law".
Oktoberfest beers are also known as a Marzen , the German style tends to be a lighter sweeter, orange-amber color and a slightly higher ABV. Historical this style was brewed in the spring and stores in cold caves or cellars during the summer months to be consumed in the fall months at celebrations such as Oktoberfest. Oktoberfest Beer is a registered trademark by the Club of Munich Brewers, the 6 breweries that can produce these beers for this event are Augustiner-Bräu, Hacker-Pschorr-Bräu, Löwenbräu, Paulaner, Spaten, and Hofbräu-München.
This is one of the most impressive events to attend and one of the most beautiful places in the world to visit. This year's celebration is September 17th- October 3rd….It's a good excuse for a September Beer Getaway.
One great way to train your wait staff is to take them to a brewery so they see firsthand how beer is made. This is so impactful when you see these giant tanks and bags of grain and hops and realize that the finally product of this labor is served in 12oz cans or 16oz pint glasses daily.
Joseph James loves to educate our community by offering brewery trips to accounts that carry their products. Brewery Rep , Shaun Frost, walks each class through the step by step brewing process while allowing them to sample the different brews offered by Joseph James. Groups get to interact with the brewery staff and see their day to day work from cleaning a mash-tun to canning beers and the ever favorite fermentation blow off bucket.

Anderson Valley Pinchy Jeek Barl-8.5%ABV

Understanding Audi
- Speech dialogue system
With the speech dialogue system, you can control the car phone, radio, CD player, CD changer, TV tuner and all the main functions of the navigation system.
The central operating element for the voice control system is the push-to-talk button on the multifunction steering wheel. When this button is pressed, the first voice command by the driver selects the unit to be operated.
Which options are then available depends on the selected unit. This prevents unintentional activation of other units and ensures intuitively correct operation.
An electronic noise reduction feature filters out unwanted distortion noise. The system is also capable of processing dialects, individual pronunciations and fast speech.

in iraq, one of the current projects being undertaken by american and british forces is to collect evidence that can be used to try and convict accused war criminals. to do this, the british army's land information assurance group (liag), a special unit that provides it support for the army, has been using a special "mobile forensics laboratory" to repair and analyze data storage devices that were discarded or left behind by saddam's government.
the data recovery device that the liag unit is using was developed by ibas uk, a computer forensics firm. the device is actually a computer the size of a suitcase that has the ability to connect to any known electronic storage media. though the company won't reveal specifics, the device uses a variety of shareware, freeware, off-the-shelf software, and some specialty software, to provide more than 30 data recovery tools. the device also uses international standards to ensure that the data recovered cannot be tampered with in any way so that it can be submitted as evidence in the war crimes trials yet to come.
so far the mobile laboratory has proven to be very useful to the army, and it has withstood the harsh conditions of iraq quite well.

joshua's opinion
this is a side of war that many people do not see: the geeky side. with the introduction of new fighting techniques and new technologies, we geeks have become the backbone of the modern army. what is interesting is that the army of the future seems to be becoming more and more technologically advanced. it seems to be moving toward the time when war will consist more of geeks sitting at computers than of infantry stalking with guns in the brush.
the information in this story just piques my interest more. i wonder what software powers the mobile forensics computer. i wonder what types of input devices it actually accommodates and how it does so. i wonder if it runs on linux.
is it running an athlon or a pentium processor? what speed? how does it provide the protection that is necessary for the data to be proven unaltered and submitted as court evidence?
well, i guess for now i will have to listen to the man in black. "get used to disappointment."

for the day when wars are fought on the computer. to me, that'll be one step closer to world peace. either that, or someone being able to launch all of those nukes and putting us all out of are misery. either way is fine with me as long as it doesn't take forever to get there. – by hacking for the usa
|hmm (12:57pm est wed oct 01 2003)
sceptical on the secure data part..you would think that at some point of the recovery process the data would be vulnerable to corruption or manipulation. were can i get one of these boxes? wonder if they found any wmd yet. ha ha ha. although it was a lovely reason for war.(sarcasim) – by not me
|hahaha (1:40pm est wed oct 01 2003)
they will surely make up some "facts" about iraqi wmd. (from sadam's personal laptop)
most probable: they will recover e-mail from sadam's hotmail account to army chief's yahoo e-mail telling him to sent all wmd to the moon.
that will explain why bush and blaire can't find any wmd in iraq. – by rr

the vast majority of science & technology is first investigated by the military (jet propulsion, computers, internet). my personal opinion is because the military is one of the few institutions that believes a problem must be solved "at all costs." – by steven

gee, i remember when we had a electronic warfare system with 2 8088 laptops and a shared 17mb removable hard drive (emp hardened, even)! when i left the army (1994), these systems were still in general use and set to be replaced by 486s by the end of 1996.
i wouldn't get too excited about it. most of the military's field computers are not bleeding edge. – by jrink

are you geeks idiots? how is the oppression and inhumane treatment of millions of people not a justifiable reason to remove a ruthless dictator? i think you dwell in your own self interest far to much to view to situation rationally!
– by disgusted geek
|wmd – it's all in the detail (7:57am est thu oct 02 2003)
items for the manufacture of wmd have been found, just not the big smoking gun of actual wmd kit.
for example, nucleur initiators have been found – these are vital to building nucleur bombs and have no civilian purpose. by themselves they mean nothing though – they were from before the first gulf war and were in storage, so not sitting inside the case of a nucleur device as bush & blair would have liked to find them.
empty chemical rockets have been found – again in storage, in small numbers, without the necessary chemicals.
kit and documentation for the production of highly-enriched uranium has been found – enriched uranium has no peaceful use, despite what the iranians and north koreans say.
final note – i've worked with the uk military on "geek" projects, and despite their undersatndable secrecy, i trust them more than politicians or corporations! – by harmless
|well, disgusted geek… (4:00pm est thu oct 02 2003)
it goes like this, 80% of the world is run by dictatorships. most of these dictatorship are cruel and ruthless and oppress their people terribly. that is a horrible fact of life.
however, if we are engaged in a war against terrorism, and more specifically radical islamic extremist then why would we attack a secular state that is also at odds with the same extremist groups? the answer is diversion, by giving the appearance of taking strong and decisive action our leaders seem strong and we can feel safe. if they also happen to make a few bucks for their friends, that is even better.
basically, we have an administration based on nepotism, cronyism, graft, and greed, and they are bankrupting our nation and betraying the values that we elected them to uphold.

Sam Worthington, president and CEO of InterAction, delivered poignant remarks and anecdotes on the state of sustainable development at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).
On Wednesday, June 10, YPFP hosted an event at John Hopkins School of Advanced and International Studies (SAIS) campus in Washington, DC. The event explored the future of sustainable development. The keynote speaker was Sam Worthington, the CEO and president of InterAction, an organization comprised of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Washington, DC that works to protect civil society and promote partnerships to address global poverty.
He has a distinguished career in the international development sector and was an excellent choice as a lecturer on such an interesting and dynamic field. Through his vast knowledge and significant practical experience, Mr. Worthington delivered an engaging talk on development and the prospects of success of the upcoming Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of goals established by the United Nations that will build upon the Millennium Development Goals.
Mr. Worthington opened with an endearing anecdote about a trip he took to India in the early 1990s. While there, he traveled with a Nigerian doctor and observed multiple projects throughout Southeast Asia. One of the core duties of these two men was weighing children as they were working on projects focused on minimizing the number of children who die each day from malnutrition. He met a little girl, who, like many of the children in this village, was malnourished. The little girl took him by the hand and led him to the roof of a building his organization had constructed as a place to store grain. Once on the roof, he saw piles of peanuts. The little girl bent down, picked up a handful, and offered them to Mr. Worthington. He nostalgically remembered this moment and said it had stuck with him throughout the years. This little girl, who barely had enough to eat herself, was concerned that her Western visitor might be hungry. What was so extraordinary about this heart-warming exchange was the degree of human compassion and that people look locally for help, especially to their neighbors.
This exchange with the little girl certainly had a profound impact on Mr. Worthington and influenced his thinking of international development. One such realization he had was that most development is ultimately local; it occurs at the family, community and neighborhood level. Mr. Worthington observed that good governance and the private sector are indispensable. However, alone, they are insufficient. The missing piece of the puzzle is that there must also be a vibrant civil society and enthusiastic civic engagement. Without civil society, justice and social change will not be accomplished with assistance only from the government and private sector. Thus, civil society is necessary because development works around a society's ability to meet the needs of its people and communities.
Mr. Worthington suggested that the terms "First," "Second," and "Third World" were meaningless. He also stated that a lot of development issues are rooted in political will. He believes the world should be viewed in terms of emerging markets and "failed" or "fragile" states. Thus, the world's extreme poor are divided in two: one half (emerging markets) where the government has the ability to alleviate much of the inequality, economic hardship, etc., and the other half (fragile or failed states) where the government does not have the capacity to invest in its own people. In the former, it is a matter of political will: Is solving the inequalities and injustices something the governments deem worthy and are willing to invest political capital in? In the latter, the societies are not able to survive shocks that occur in its society as the government is unable to provide for its citizens. Civil society and the role of NGOs should fill this open political space. This is where civil society and NGOs step in. In these conflict-ridden and war-torn areas, NGOs can assist in delivering the services that the government cannot provide.
Mr. Worthington offered a generally positive outlook to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to development generally. These goals will provide policy and funding until 2030, starting with a promise to fully and permanently end poverty. While the Millennium Development Goals were successful in some ways, more than 1 billion people still live on less than $1.25 a day, the definition of extreme poverty. More action needs to be taken. The SDGs seek to finish the goals that the MDGs set out to accomplish. Mr. Worthington views the SDGs in a positive light, calling them the best attempt to say, "It is within our power to eliminate poverty. He said while most people seem to have a more negative outlook on the world, the development community has never been in a better position to help the poor. He sees permanently eradicating poverty as no longer just a dream, but a reality.

text: DigitalPlans Unveiled for Diller Scofido + Renfro's Broad Art Foundation MuseumBy Steve Delahoyde|January 7, 2011ShareBy Steve Delahoyde|January 7, 2011ShareIt seems like ages ago that everyone was waiting with bated breath (or at least casual, passing interest) to find out first where billionaire art collector/professional philanthropist Eli Broad would build his latest museum in California. With that decided, downtown Los Angeles it would be, then it was time for some more waiting to find out what top-shelf architecture firm would build the thing and what he would call it. Now, short of actually, you know, being inside the finished building, the winner of the big gig, top-shelf Diller Scofido + Renfro, has finally unveiled the plans for the the museum, now to be simply called "The Broad." Located across the street from Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall, the three-story, Grand Avenue Project museum will come in at around 120,000 square feet, at a cost to Eli and his wife Edyth of roughly $200 million. Here's the press release, with all the details, including what's planned for the inaugural show (sort of a best-of from the Broads' massive modern art collection). Renderings of the proposed building, which is set to be completed in two years, can be found here, and below is a quick fly-through video.A full description of Diller Scofido + Renfro's design can be found after the jump.Dubbed "the veil and the vault," the museum's design merges the two key components of the building: public exhibition space and the archive/storage that will support The Broad Art Foundation's lending activities. Rather than relegate the archive/storage to secondary status, the "vault," plays a key role in shaping the museum experience from entry to exit. Its heavy opaque mass is always in view, hovering midway in the building. Its carved underside shapes the lobby below, while its top surface is the floor of the exhibition space. The vault is enveloped on all sides by the "veil," an airy, cellular exoskeleton structure that spans across the block-long gallery and provides filtered natural daylight.The public entry to the museum will be on Grand Avenue and will complement the landscaped plaza to the south that is part of the Grand Avenue Project's master plan. The museum's "veil" lifts at the corners, welcoming visitors into an active lobby with a bookshop and espresso bar. Visitors will then journey upwards via an escalator, tunneling through the archive, arriving onto 40,000 square feet of column-free exhibition space bathed in diffuse light. This 24-foot-high space is fully flexible to be shaped into galleries, according to the curatorial needs of each installation or exhibition. Visitors exit the exhibition space and descend back to the lobby through a winding stair through the vault that offers behind-the-scenes glimpses, through viewing windows, into the vast holdings of the Broad Collections and the foundation's lending library operations.
