Gaburi-chu Cola Stick
Chewy Cola Flavored Soft Candy Stick

March 06, 2016
Tastes just like a slightly more bitter cola!
This is a taffy-like candy stick that tastes like cola. I would say that it was about as long as the gum, but three or so times as wide. The stick tasted like a slightly bitter Pepsi, which isn't a bad thing. I liked it. I'm kind of a sucker for cola and root beer flavored things, though. The texture was not too bad; it was tough, but chewy.

Not the best but still good
When I tried this, my first thought was it was really hard. So after a while I was used to chewing it. It did taste like cola but took a long time to eat.

The Episode Recap: Changing How We Watch TV
by Simon Apter
One of my favorite offshoots of the twenty-first-century "prestige drama" genre (which, like so many recent TV trends, began with the debut of The Sopranos in 1999) is the Episode Recap. Made possible by the extraordinary TV writing working its way onto premium–and, eventually, basic–cable, and by the boom of instantly-rendered Internet opinionating, the Episode Recap is an entirely new, entirely modern form of short-form digital journalism. If Facebook digitized the old-fashioned "social" or "mixer," then the Episode Recap is the latter-day version of water-cooler chatter.
While much of online journalism can be ridiculed as mere echo-chamber bloviating–that is, like-minded writers chasing like-minded readers, Birthers uncovering more fraudulent documents with other Birthers, Hacktivists sharing malware tips with Hacktivists–the episode-recap genre succeeds online because this echo-chamber, dog-chasing-its-tail milieu is actually what it's all about.
For the episode recap is not written simply to describe the episode for those who haven't seen it; rather, it's an imaginative attempt to recast and reimagine the show through incisive, 20/20 hindsight. Even if–especially if–you've already seen the episode under dissection, the recap will uncover some aspect, some scene your memory elided, that adds another dimension to your enjoyment of the show.
You didn't read Star-Ledger critic (and master of the genre) Vicki Hyman's weekly Jersey Shore recaps because you wanted to find out what new kinds of trouble Snooki and the Sitch had gotten themselves into; rather, you wanted affirmation that the rest of the world–personified here by mainstream legitimacy of a major metropolitan paper–thought that the two were as batshit crazy as you did. Molly Lambert's Monday-morning exegeses of Mad Men on Grantland gave us pithy instant analyses of characters', well, character:
- Megan Draper: Megan is an actressy mix of highly arrogant and very insecure.
- Megan's friend: Megan's ginger friend is an attention slut.
- Pete Campbell: Pete is an opportunist who sees the potential for exploitation in everything.
- Roger Sterling and Lane Pryce: Roger is a schmuck, through and through. Lane is a depressive realist.
Yes, these are over-reduced distillations, but–importantly–they aren't simplifications. A skilled episode-recapper assiduously avoids casting his "re-casted" characters as two-dimensional strawmen; rather, he works tacitly with the show's writers to add depth and to increase complexity to what has already been developed on screen. These are not mere critiques; they're postmortem examinations.
A good episode recap actually has more in common with fan-fiction than it does with criticism, and a good recapper will suggest backstories that are only hinted at on-screen; predict fallout from an implied future conflict; imagine and report on a character's internal monologue that the show's original writers chose to keep hidden from us. We spend 167 hours each week not watching a particular show; why not enrich and enhance them with intelligence and wit?
The reigning heavyweight champ of the recap is New York Magazine's Chadwick Matlin, who has managed to make his weekly meditations on The Newsroom as anticipated as the Sunday-night program itself. He has also made himself indispensable: Say what you want about "Sorkinese," the dialogue of The Newsroom is too lush, too booby-trapped with double- and triple-entendre to absorb in just one sitting, and this is where Matlin's work becomes necessary.
"If art involves the cultivation of a relationship between creator and audience," Matlin wrote in the introduction to his first Newsroom recap, "then Sorkin is one of our most intimate artists. His success stems from the oblique feeling that while watching his work, we, the audience, get to observe the obsessions of his mind."
But it's tricky to delve, unsolicited, into an artist's mind; it helps to have a guide, and leading us through the obsessions of a writer's mind–real or perceived–is what a skilled episode recapper does best. The recapper is a special kind of viewer, an evolved sub-species of Homo technologicus who can read between the frames, can burrow behind the dialogue as-written and as-delivered. And with the prestige drama, he or she is absolutely necessary. The recapper, not the broadcast, becomes the link between between creator and audience, much like an English professor serves as the link between literature and student.
And what about recapping the recaps? It's only a matter of time before Hyman, Lambert, and Matlin find some enterprising scribe insinuating analysis of an analysis of an analysis.
Dr. IMAX: Or, How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love 3-D
by Simon Apter
I used to rail against 3-D movies. Sure, I'd seen and loved Michael Jackson in Captain Eo at Disney World when I was nine, and I'd bought and enjoyed the 3-D version of Rad Racer, the classic 8-bit car-racing game for the original Nintendo. But the twenty-first-century version of three-dimensional entertainment seemed to represent something else, something divisive and undemocratic.
The new 3-D movies are classist, I'd tell anyone who would listen, insisting that 3-D turned the movies (as in, "I'm going the movies")–that great egalitarian space where executives rub elbows with nine-year-olds, Republicans with Democrats, and rom-com lovers with action junkies–into a segregated, pay-for-play enterprise complete with First and Economy cabins. For a few dollars more, it seemed to me, you could upgrade your movie-watching experience from humdrum 2-D into mind-blowing 3-D. And that didn't sit right. The movies were supposed to be about festival-seating, general admission, and getting there early so you wouldn't have to crane your neck back because of a front-row seat. Mayor Bloomberg's seat was the same as mine, and so was his price of admission.
So naturally, in typical inferiority-complex fashion, I took it upon myself to look down on the 3-D viewers–those gilded moviegoers among us, eyes slightly glazed as they blinked out of their 3-D theatre, special glasses in hand. Surely their visual experience had been incredible, but was it better than mine? With just height and width to worry about, wouldn't my brain necessarily have had more capacity to enjoy plot, characters, dialogue? While the 3-Ders were busy cogitating the depth of the image in front of them, I was pondering the depth of the writing and acting, the talent of the above-the-line and below-the-line folks who'd made the film in the first place. I was closer, I'd think smugly, to the art.
After all, I reasoned in a wonderfully bombastic strawman, Alexander Calder never released two versions of his work: the actual mobiles themselves, for those who could pay to see them; and then 2-dimensional pictures of the mobiles, for the hoi polloi. The Sculpture Garden at MoMA doesn't demand an extra entrance fee for its 3-D wonders.
But I've since gotten down from my high horse. Cultural criticism runs aground whenever it begins to parse the nature, definition and propriety of art, and my 2-D snobbishness was no exception. Because three-dimensional movies, at the end of the day, are neither better nor worse than their 2-D older brothers. Three-dimensional viewing is about the experience of watching the movie, not about the movie itself. Changing the manner in which an object is enjoyed doesn't actually change the object. You'd probably pay more to hear a recording of Morgan Freeman reading Inferno than you would to hear me, but nevertheless, through all 34 cantos, Dante's poetry remains unchanged regardless of its medium.
It's easy to be a stick in the mud about progress, especially when it concerns entertainment. For me, going to the movies always evokes memories of Friday-night trips to the second-run State Theatre in downtown Corvallis, Oregon, where the dollar-fifty double-feature was the place to be if you thought of yourself as remotely cool. In April 1994, I had my first real make-out session during Cabin Boy/Sister Act 2. That night became the platonic ideal of movie-watching in my imagination, and I'm transported to the State for a few milliseconds every time the lights go dark.
A novelty like 3-D feels like a threat to the happy memories and warm associations that we've spent our lifetimes cultivating, a cold reminder that our world is no longer ours, that "fun" itself is passing us by and relegating all that we love to nostalgia and to memories of things past. We can feel like our old-fashioned enjoyment of something has been marginalized and is no longer valid, like we're hanging on to things "the way they were meant to be."
But I've come around. I see neither a fleeting golden age nor a decaying future. I just see the movies now, in however many dimensions to which my ticket has entitled me. Because regardless of the movie, and regardless of the projection, the lights still darken, and I'm still in eighth grade, still making out with Sarah Collins, if only for the blink of an eye.
"Intimacy and Distance": On Writing in New York
by Ira Sachs
It took me nearly 25 years to finally feel ready to write a film about New York. My first job in the city was the summer of 1984, when I was the assistant to Eric Bogosian at his office down on Mott Street, and I moved to the city full-time in 1988. When I started writing feature films, my mind and imagination were still rooted in Memphis, where I had grown up, and where I'd made my first two features, The Delta and Forty Shades of Blue. I lived in NYC, but it was my hometown that I knew from the inside. For me to feel ready to make a film about a place, I need both intimacy and distance. The intimacy with this city came over time, with the creation of memories; the distance came much more slowly.
In many ways, New York grabbed me too hard for me to be able to step outside and look at my life with any clarity. Yes, I was in therapy – many days a week, in fact; it was still the age of psychoanalysis – but my life was narrow and obsessive. The things I cared about, and searched out, were love and sex and making movies. The New York I discovered was a nocturnal one, of late nights in cabs, or on subway platforms; in restaurants with a lover starting a fight, before ordering the next drink; of mornings when I hoped the first coffee at the café on Smith Street would help me through the day. I recognized my own New York in the images I saw in films like Goodfellas or Chantal Akerman's News from Home. A city driven and in motion. Lonely at times, always on the verge of sadness and ecstasy.
But in my late 30s, I had the good/bad fortune of having life as I knew it explode. I was in a relationship that had been ticking dynamite from the start, but that I tried to control and keep going for nearly a decade. The New York of those years was all contrast: daytime shiny surface, nighttime full of secrets and despair (the kind of double life that has become nearly epidemic in dramatic television these days, so, clearly, my story is not unique). But when the cards came tumbling down – symbolized perhaps most dramatically in a 34-day crack binge that left my partner in the Lenox Hill Hospital mental ward and me a trembling wreck alone in our apartment – I knew on some profound level that it was time for a change.
And so I did. It took a few years (and a few 12-step programs), but by 40, I was doing things differently. As a gay man who had come of age in the minutes after Stonewall, to live a transparent life did not come naturally to me. But like a baby who touches the burning stove one last time before knowing not to, when the New York of my 20s and 30s blew up around me – when the burden of hiding my behavior in this city became impossible to maintain – I finally was ready for real change. To put it most simply, I chose to live an honest life.
And it was only then that I felt truly ready, or able, to write a film about this city. With co-screenwriter Mauricio Zacharias, I wrote my fourth feature, and my first set in New York, Keep the Lights On. What I found, happily, is that the stories were there. The experience and the feelings were all there. I now have them all in my hand, and in my mind, and my New York feels for the first time full of movies I must share.

PEER to PEER VOICE
The KYU peer educator project started in September 2002 as community initiative by a group of student volunteers supported by the University to initially address the problems of young people such as unwanted pregnancies, post abortion stress, HIV/AIDS/STIs and drug and substance abuse among others. With guidance of the Office of the Dean of Students and being coordinated by the Director Health Services, the group is charged with the responsibility of building the capacity of students in making health enhancing life choices by providing a peer-focused method of information provision and dissemination.
- To build the capacity of student volunteers with a mission to:
- Adopt and promote positive behavior and lifestyle.
- Empower student volunteers with communication skills in reproductive health and development
- To contribute to reduction of vulnerability to HIV/AIDS among young people in the University community.
o Dissemination of Behavioral Change Communication (BCC) materials
o Room to room visits & Hostel visits
o Health education talks, debates and discussion & participation in Radio talk shows
o Mobilization of the community to utilize Health Services
o Promotion of networking with other youth HIV/AIDS focused organizations
o Participation in orientation week, national and global health events
1. Reproductive Health (RH) activities and services have been availed through training of Student Volunteers.
2. Increased knowledge and more responsible and mature attitudes towards sexuality among the Peer Educators
3. Due to ongoing mobilization by peer educators VCT & Anti-Retroviral therapy services has been fully integrated in the existing health services
- Aids Information Centre (AIC)
- Uganda Aids Commission(UAC)
- Alliance of Mayors Initiative Community Action on AIDS at Local Level (AMICAALL Uganda Chapter)
- Population Services International (PSI)
- Very few peer educators in relation to the student population and diversity of campus (6 peer educators: 1000students)
- Student populations are transient therefore there is a need to continue training student volunteers to replace the ones leaving on completion of their studies.
- Lack of youth friendly services limit utilization by young people.
Future Plans
- Setting up a drop-in information center to cater for reproductive health needs of the young people in the university and surrounding community
- To strengthen capacity of young people through continued training of peer educators
- To scale up networking with government and non-government organizations to improve delivery of youth health related services in the community.

A selection of intelligent cinema from around the world that entertains and provokes a mature viewer to reflect on what the viewer saw, long after the film ends--extending the entertainment value
Monday, July 09, 2007
38. Spain's Alejandro Amenabar's "Mar Adentro" (The Sea Within) (2004): The depths to explore within the film and varied human relationships
I have seen Whose life is it anyway? (1981) and now Mar adentro (2004). I loved both films while they unspooled their entertaining sexist jokes in the morbid background of a male quadriplegic requesting euthanasia. Evaluated for their witty content, the American film wins outright over the other. Evaluated for philosophical content, the Spanish film is an outright winner in contrast to the Hollywood product. The American film entertained for the duration of the film; the Spanish film entertains you by requiring you to reflect on the various segments of the film, long after the film ends.
People who know Spanish aver that the correct translation of the title would be "Into the sea". If you have seen the film, the deep philosophical, theological and social undercurrents of the screenplay make the less accurate title "The sea within," more appropriate.
What were the aspects of the film that made me reflect on it?
The unflinching support of a small family to care for a cripple for 27 years is unusual in Western society. This is powerfully understated throughout the film. The viewer is witness to mute actions of love from the family for the quadriplegic but only on a few occasions is the subject discussed.
This brings up the strengths of the awesome screenplay (Amenabar and Mateo Gil) that reverts time and time again to the hills visible from the quadriplegic's bed while the memories of the quadriplegic are those of the sea. The sea is within the mind of the quadriplegic—and quite appropriately the first shot is of the sea, which is soon replaced by the hills.
Suicide is theologically a no-no for many. A repentant Judas is not forgiven by the Church because he commits suicide, while all other repenting sinners the world over are supposed to be absolved if they repent. The film, set in Catholic Spain, takes a bold step in including the loud debate between two quadriplegics—one a priest who wants to live and another, a lay man, who does not—separated literally and figuratively by a floor.
The power of media is underlined: the role of TV programs and publishing of books. Yet the real outcome is nurtured through love between individuals through direct contact. The end of the film would not be the same in the absence of love. The bonding between the sick and the crippled (physically with Julia and psychologically with Rosa) are contrasted with bonding of the physically whole near family—Manuela and Gene.
This is my second Amenabar film—the first was The others. While Mar adentro deals with a thought provoking subject, the brilliance of the young director is underlined in The others--a fabulous ghost story, elegantly told. Amenabar and Andrei Zvygintsev (The Return, discussed in this blog earlier) are the most promising and talented young filmmakers (both Europeans) today. Amenabar has proven that he can direct great movies, elicit great performances from his actors (Javier Bardem, here. and Nicole Kidman in The Others), write good music and pick fine appropriate music of established composers (Puccini, Beethoven, Mozart and Richard Wagner). Like good cognac, the film is best appreciated by reflecting on all its attributes after the repast of the film viewing.

Advise and consent
Doubleday, 1959 - Fiction - 760 pages
Robert Leffingwell is the president's candidate for Secretary of State. Prior to his approval, he must first go through a Senate investigation to determine if he's qualified. Leading the Senate committee is idealistic Senator Brig Anderson, who soon finds himself unprepared for the political dirt that's revealed, including Leffingwell's past affiliations with a Communist organization. When Leffingwell testifies about his political leanings, he proves his innocence. Later, however, Anderson learns that he lied under oath and even asks the president to withdraw Leffingwell for consideration, especially after the young senator begins receiving blackmail threats about an affair he had with another man when he was in the army. In a challenge to censorial taboos Preminger emphasised the homosexual angle of the story, even including a scene in a gay bar that doesn't occur in the novel.

Scrabble game at the in-laws house. I love the simple solution in the front right corner. "Io" in two directions and "oi" in two directions. That's fun. Taken with the Kodak DCS SLR/n and a Nikon 50mm 1.8 AFD lens. Handheld after turkey, stuffing and pie. Lots of pie.
Putting words together is like swimming or photographing. It gets easier or better or both the more you practice. You learn what to keep and you learn what to throw out and it all makes better sense. If you've been a long time reader, thank you very much for hanging in there. If you are new to the blog don't worry; we only do these self-congratulatory missives at big milestones. For me, anything with the number "ten milliion" is a big deal.

It's not every year a team that tied for second in the SEC ends up in the NIT, but that was Georgia's fate despite winning nine of its final 12 games. The Bulldogs, seeded No. 2 in Region 4, host seventh-seeded Vermont in the opening round Wednesday. Georgia only has two players with experience beyond the SEC tournament, so coach Mark Fox is excited for his young squad to play on one of college basketball's biggest stages, even if it's not the NCAA tournament.
âI think itâs very important for our guys to get this experience,â Fox said, via OnlineAthens.com. âWe only have the one senior. I think it can be a valuable experience for our team. We start our season next year in the preseason NIT. I think for a lot of reasons this could be a really good experience for us." Vermont also is looking forward to the NIT, although its players can't help but be disappointed after the America East regular-season champs were upset in the semifinals of their conference tourney. âWe are not in the tournament we wanted to be in, but for this group of seniors, another shot to go out and win a couple games hopefully (is) more than enough to get up for this game,â senior forward Clancy Rugg told the Burlington Free Press.

It was the spring of 1940 and nothing would ever be the same again. For Batman, certainly. With the colorful, smiling - smiling! look at that face, so gleeful in the face of danger - Dick Grayson at the Dark Knight's side, he wasn't so dark anymore, and the addition of a kid sidekick would push him more and more into the light. And in that light, he'd find colorful villains, crazy adventures, comedy, and ultimately the outer space stories we're not supposed to mention anymore. It is actually pretty surprising that the gangland/pulp era ends so soon. Oh not completely, of course, but with this young acrobat in the mix, it seems we've seen the last of Batman's controversial guns, and now perhaps, he'll allow himself his own smile. By the time *I* met Batman, through '66 reruns and the Super-Friends, it was all chum this and chum that, the inseparable Dynamic Duo were joyful costumed adventurers more than dour avengers of the night.
We can't realize today how much of an impact Robin had at the time. His popularity was so great he spawned many more like him. Bucky, Speedy, Sandy, Toro, Dan the Dyna-Mite, Captain Marvel Jr... And that's just keeping to the Golden Age. It's a trend that would keep going through the Silver Age and at DC, at least, give us the Teen Titans. Even spins on the formula, like the Star-Spangled Kid (the sidekick was the adult, Stripesy) and Superboy (actually the hero as a teenager) have their roots in Robin the Boy Wonder. The readership just wanted to BE him, it seems. It seemed so much more fun.
When the third Robin, Tim Drake, got his own series in the 90s, there was much ballyhoo about Robin getting his first series ever, but while technically true, it really wasn't the first time Robin starred in his own solo adventures. Few seem to remember Dick Grayson's strip in Star-Spangled Comics, but he earned it and carried on for about 5 years at the exact time other superhero strips were flailing (1947 to 1952)!
Truly, a comics icon, and probably the third most important DC star introduced in the era (and thus, EVER introduced) behind Superman and arguably Batman, but probably in front of Wonder Woman. So is he a David, or is he really a Goliath?

A good comment, Siskoid.
Also, damn those "fantasy canonising revisionaries."
Won't let us mention the space stories?! Worse than Victorian missionaries.
If we can't have a bit of fun with our fiction...

And these days, Dick Grayson is probably the spiritual embodiment of the DC Universe, kind of what Ben Grimm is to Marvel. Dick Grayson is the smiling, confident, idealistic hero who risks his neck every single day simply because he can help people. And when he uses guns (as in the "Grayson" series), he just throws them like batarangs, a gimmick that makes me giggle and clap like a toddler every time.
I still want that Dick Grayson / Ben Grimm crossover series, with the two of them teaming up at different eras of their lives. First issue would be the most recognizable forms of Nightwing and the Thing; second issue would be newbie Robin meeting original lumpy Thing and getting into a heroic misunderstanding (probably involving the Yancy Street twerps), and so on.

I would read the hell out of that!

The two of them would totally click, wouldn't they?
The final issue, I think, would be Ben Grimm inviting his pal Dick Grayson to one of his legendary poker games. This would be a few years down the line, and would give them a chance to reminisce about their friends. There's probably a discussion to be had comparing Reed Richards and Bruce Wayne, but I don't think I'm up to it.

The closest to that was the Hulk-Batman crossover in the 80's(?) but it definitely wasn't the same thing.

The Netlogon service is one of the key Local Security Authority (LSA) processes that run on every Windows domain controller. When you troubleshoot authentication problems, analyzing the Netlogon service log files can be useful. How do I turn Netlogon service logging on and off, and how do I analyze the content of the Netlogon log files?
To turn on Netlogon service logging, type the following Nltest command at the command line:
Enabling Netlogon service logging requires that you restart the Netlogon service. To do so, use the Net Stop Netlogon and Net Start Netlogon commands. To disable netlogon service logging, type:
Then, restart the Netlogon service again. The Netlogon service stores log data in a special log file called netlogon.log, in the %Windir%\debug folder.
Two utilities are useful in querying the Netlogon log files: Nlparse.exe and Findstr.exe. Nlparse.exe is a GUI tool that comes with Microsoft Account Lockout tools. You can download Account Lockout tools for free from the Microsoft Web site as part of the "Account Lockout and Management Tools" ALTools.exe file at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7AF2E69C-91F3-4E63-8629-B999ADDE0B9E&displaylang=en. Figure 1 shows the Nlparse GUI, which contains the most common Netlogon error codes and their meaning. Nlparse stores the output of its queries in two files in the %Windir%\debug folder: netlogon.log-out.scv and netlogon.log-summaryout.txt.
Findstr.exe is a command-line tool that's included with the default installation of Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000. You can use this tool to query one or multiple Netlogon files for occurrences of a particular user account or error code. For example, the following command queries the netlogon.log file for occurrences of user JoeJ and stores the results of the query in the output.txt file:

TFF Team Picker hits v1.0!
This is a very old post that was automatically imported from LiveJournal. I have done my best to fix up the formatting, but some issues may remain. Comments have not been preserved.
After a spree of lunchtime coding today, my Telegraph Fantasy Football Team Picker has finally hit v1.0.
It's a utility for football noobs (like me) who play the Telegraph fantasy football game. It scrapes players' past performance and injury lists from the web, and suggests the mathematically optimum team.
It's now available as a stand-alone Windows executable as well as a Python script. It's GPLv3 licenced. If you play TFF (or are just very bored), feel free to download and play with it! Bug reports / feature requests are welcome.

Air Plant | Tillandsia Aeranthos
Brand Hawaiian Botanicals
This product is unavailable
Air plants are part of the Tillandsia family and get their name from their capability to draw all the nutrients and water that they need directly from the air - no soil needed! Because of the way they feed, air plants can be placed within decorative pieces, such as the Himmeli hanging designs by Lumota, in your home or outside!
Light | Air plants flourish in bright, indirect sunlight.
Watering | 1-2 times per week, fill a bowl or your sink with water and let your air plant(s) soak for 20-30 minutes. Gently shake off the excess water and place in a dry, well-circulated area. A freshly watered air plant will feel stiff and full, whereas an air plant needing water will feel softer and lighter. Wrinkled or rolled leaves are a sign of dehydration.
- Each air plant is unique, yours may differ from the picture slightly

The TTC lost more than $22-million to fare evasion in 2010, nearly double the previous year's figure, according to a draft report that says the transit agency needs to regain its old policing powers to curb the problem.
"We need to figure out why [fare evasion is on the rise,]rdquo; said Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong, a member of the Toronto Transit Commission. "The obvious answer is that we need better enforcement."
"Fare is Fair," an internal Feb. 11 report obtained by The Globe and Mail, says the fare-evasion rate rose to 1.6 per cent in 2010 from 0.8 per cent in 2009, when the system lost just over $11-million to customers who didn't pay.
The worst culprits were riders who slipped by with expired transfers, followed by those who flashed ineligible Metropasses and others who snuck in the back door of streetcars without paying.
There's no obvious explanation for the spike in fare cheating uncovered in a routine audit last spring, the TTC's chief general manager said.
"We don't know if it's a one-off. We think it might be," Gary Webster said. "There's nothing significantly that's changed out there."
Although it happened after the audit, there has been a significant change to the way subways, streetcars and buses are policed: Transit guards officially lost their "special constable" status Feb. 1.
The TTC used to employ 62 front-line transit guards whose special-constable status gave them the authority to carry pepper foam and arrest riders suspected of committing crimes.
The Toronto Police Services Board voted last fall to strip the TTC's officers of that power as the police force raised the number of cops patrolling the transit system to 80 from 38.
Now the TTC has 42 front-line "transit-enforcement officers" who can only ticket riders for provincial offences such as trespassing and failing to pay a fare.
"It is imperative that TTC senior management gain Commission support to re-open the dialogue with the newly appointed Toronto Police Services Board and to engage the Board in a meaningful discussion to reinstate the status of TTC Special Constables," the report says. "Any lesser authority for Transit Enforcement Officers presents an enhanced risk ... to officer safety while diminishing the effectiveness of the TTC's revenue protection efforts."
Now that they've lost their old policing powers, transit guards should focus heavily on ticketing fare evaders, the 42-page report recommends.
It goes on to suggest where and how the TTC's officers should be deployed - almost entirely on the subway, except for two officers patrolling the Queen streetcar on weekdays.
It also reveals how many $395 tickets the transit authority aims to hand out for fare cheating in 2011.
Of 6,000 provincial-offences tickets projected to be issued on the TTC this year, approximately 3,000 are expected to be for fare evasion, which would rake in $1.03-million in revenue, the report says.
But TTC brass believe the new focus on fare cheats can increase the haul.
"With [transit-enforcement officers]focus on instituting strong fare enforcement protocol, exceeding the initial projection by up to 33%, approximately 2,000 Provincial Offences Tickets bringing the total close to 8,000 tickets, is believed attainable," the report says.
Mr. Minnan-Wong warned the TTC can't let fare evasion spin further out of control.
"I've talked to bus drivers who admit that on certain bus routes the fare box has become a donation box because they are too afraid to challenge fare jumpers," he said.
"I certainly don't refer to our fare boxes in the same manner," Mr. Webster countered. "Our operators are encouraged to collect their fares and they do."
Meantime, the TTC voted Tuesday to eliminate discounted Metropasses for part-time postsecondary school students.
Off the rails: The TTC lost more than $22-million to fare evasion in 2010. Here's how fare cheats beat the system most often, ranked by approximate lost revenue:
Transfer abuse: $16.57-million
Metropass abuse: $2.17-million
Proof-of-payment program (when riders use the back door of the streetcar without paying): $1.23-million
Spurious receipts: $1.16-million
Illegal entry: $802,000
Day-pass abuse: $120,000

About Beqa Lagoon Resort Fiji
Beqa Island is home of the Firewalkers. They perform their amazing, sacred ceremony at the resort weekly. Beqa Lagoon Resort offers the true Fijian experience with local entertainment daily. They also offer scheduled visits to the local villages on Beqa Island.
Snorkel – put on a mask and fins anytime. One of the resort's distinctive features is that coral reef heads thrive just a few feet from the beach. Even if you do not dive, you will be able to see many wonders of Beqa Lagoon, such as clown fish, lion fish, lobsters, live corals and lots of other tropical creatures.
Beqa Lagoon Resort private villas (called bures) are large and luxurious. Tucked in the coconut trees, just a few meters back from the beach, each bure is elegantly finished with rattan and
bamboo. All are decorated with colorful splashes of fabric and works of art. Every beachfront bure has its own spacious court- yard with a plunge pool and bamboo fence to ensure your pri- vacy. Honeymoon bure also has a romantic outdoor shower.
Every bure is an air condi- tioned mini-suite with a spec- tacular marble lined bath, a king poster bed and a sitting room with a double bed. Every porch has a table, lounge chairs and a wonderful view. And if you walk a few meters in towards the beach, you will find a cozy hammock to hun- ker down with your partner or a good book.
Beqa Lagoon Resort has a total of 25 deluxe bures – 12 beachfront, 6 koi pond, 3 se- cluded garden and 4, 2-
bedroom + living room units. All have air condi- tioning and safes. There are no phones or TVs in the rooms – a truly peaceful get-away.
Surfing: Frigate Passage (aka Fijian Pipeline) is approximately 30 minutes by boat from Beqa Lagoon Resort. It is a powerful, outer left reef break and recommended for experi- enced surfers only. It is consistent at 1.2-2.1 m (4- 7 feet) year round. Surfers must bring their own boards and repair kits.
Other Activities:
Kayaking, deep sea fish- ing, hiking to waterfall, picnics, massages, fresh water pool, snorkeling, volleyball, village trips, water-skiing, etc. Kayaking – grab a single or double kayak and explore the se- cluded islands and beautiful beaches. We have both single and double kayaks.
If you are into power motor sports, we can offer you water skiing or tube riding. Secluded island picnic is another way to spend your time – our boat will take you to a tiny island, where you can snorkel and bath in the sun.
Hiking – hike to a waterfall or to the top of the mountain, visit the local villages or see the WWII American gun site. Play volleyball, horse shoes or croquet and see if you can beat the locals.
Rafting on a Fijian river is another adventure you could choose. Together with famous Rivers Fiji we offer a wide selection of trips. Island hopping is another option – we'll provide you with a boat and driver, and you are the only one who chooses the di- rection.
Surrounded by over 190 miles of spectacular coral, Beqa Lagoon is one of the worlds largest barrier reefs. Diving these calm protected wa- ters is like ex- ploring another world. The water is clear and warm, visibility is typically over 30 meters, currents are mild, and the water temperature stays a fairly constant 80 F (26.5 C). Many of the most spectacular dive sights are only a few minutes
from shore, and if you stayed long enough, you could explore over 100 different sights! The Dive Masters at Beqa Lagoon have been diving in these waters since they were children. The local dive guides know every reef and coral head, and if you stay close they will show you some of the most intriguing crea-
tures ever. Blue ribbon eels, clown triggers, lion fish, leaf scorpi- ons, reef sharks and millions of colorful anthias and fusil- iers all abound in these wa-
ters. Some of the other underwa- ter attraction awaiting divers include two shipwrecks and an optional shark and big fish encounter. Unlimited shore diving is usually included in your dive package. Rental gear and dive courses are available.

20 December 2002
The event – held in front of more than 8,000 people on the Salt Lake Olympic course – featured five of the six medallists from the 2002 Games.
Ben Bright was the best of the Australians in the men's event, placing 23rd, with Andrew Burton in 34th and Marcus Wherle in 39th place.
Other Australian women's results saw Sascha Ryzy in 18th and 15 year-old Frances Miller in 29th.
Coach Ben Wordsworth said after the event "this was another great result from Holly Crawford, finishing 14th in a field of more than 40 women, and up against some of the best riders in the world".
"The competition was a good experience for the whole team as we have not competed at this level before, or in front of such a huge crowd."
"Now we head back to Mammoth to put in a solid few weeks of training leading up to the World Championships."
World Cup: In alpine events, Skiing Australia rider Johanna Shaw finished 25th in the parallel GS World Cup in Stoneham, Canada.
In the second event of the weekend, another PGS, she did not finish.

DALLAS -- For most folks the first day of school is a nervous and exciting time, and for those starting their first day of Dallas P.D. academy classes, it's no different.
"It actually feels good, and I am proud of everyone whose actually in my class right now because it takes a lot to get to this point," DPD recruit Shawn Couch said.
The Dallas police department started their latest training session with over 40 recruits. One of the largest classes in nearly the last 4 years.
Mathew Williamson with Dallas Police Department said, "I think the citizens or the people who want to be police officers are seeing how Dallas is proactive and trying to work with the community."
This 36 week training course covers a wide variety of topics
"Dallas has one of the best academies in the country, you know you're going to be trained well," Claire Swenson said.
Braiden Garcia, who is also a DPD Recruit told NewsFix, "In my military time I was helping overseas, and now I get to come and help people here in the community it's huge."
For one of the new recruits -- Wayne Gittens -- he wanted to join after a challenge from former police chief David Brown.
"After I saw the shootings and everything happening, I felt like it was my calling, with Chief Brown when he said, if you are able to work and enforce the laws come out here and join us. Thats exactly what I did," Gittens said.
While not all the folks here joined because of the tragic events of July 7th, most of them saw the out pouring of support from the community which made the decision to join an easy one.

Sprinklers Inc. serves the greater Colorado Springs metro area with high quality sprinkler blowouts. If you're new to the Colorado Springs area, each year in September and October it's important to have your sprinklers winterized before the snow sets in, usually around Halloween each year, to prevent costly freeze damage to your sprinkler system.
Sprinkler blowouts are also know by several names such as:
Regardless of how you refer to it, it is the process of forcing compressed air into the sprinkler system and then cycling through each control valve until a majority of the water has been expelled from the pipes.
Once the water is expelled from the sprinkler system it should not be turned on until the following spring, when temperatures are warm enough for sustained sprinkler system use. You can read what Hunter Industries says about winterizing your sprinkler system here www.hunterindustries.com
Here at Sprinklers Inc. we provide a written warranty of our sprinkler blow-outs. You can be assured that we will perform the highest quality blow-out. We stand behind our work with your satisfaction guaranteed!

Physics is widely regarded as a demanding degree to get and employers know that to get a good physics degree, you have to be bright! A physicist looks to understand how things work: the reasons that things happen the way they do, which requires the ability to analyse problems. This is a highly marketable skill which is applicable to a wide range of careers. A degree in Physics gives you an excellent grounding in many areas, what you make of it after you graduate is up to you! One survey in The Times suggested that Physics was in fact the most employable of degrees.
Each year, SEPnet (South East Physics Network) provides funding for undergraduates in their penultimate year at SEPnet partner universities to conduct eight week internships. The scheme not only provides a transfer of knowledge across the South East of England, it increases the employability of physics students too. If you are an employer in the South East interested in offering a placement to a physics student, or a student at one of the SEPnet partner universities, please visit the following link for more details about the scheme: www.sepnet.ac.uk

About 34% of physics graduates from Kent have opted to postgraduate study for a PhD or Masters degree in recent years. This is partly because grants are more easily available in the Sciences for postgraduate study than in the Arts or Social Sciences. It should be remembered though that postgraduate study is not an easy option and research for a PhD will require dedication and determination to see things through over a period of 3 or more years - especially when experiments are not going right! See our section on Postgraduate Study www.kent.ac.uk/careers/postgradmenu.htm
A large proportion of physics graduates entering permanent jobs after graduation go into research, design and development. Although you can get a job as a trainee research scientist with a good first degree, for those wanting a long term career in research it may be advisable to study for a doctorate as promotion within research may be hindered without one. However, many junior research staff use research as a stepping stone to other functions within the company, such as marketing, patent work and production management, and for graduates with these ambitions a postgraduate degree would not be necessary. Many of these jobs are with electronics, telecommunications and defence companies and may be nearer engineering than pure physics. See the section on Research and Development.
Areas of growth include nuclear and renewable energy, environmental jobs and defence but employers such as Rolls-Royce, AWE and RM Consulting also actively seek to employ physicists.
A survey by the Institute of Physics asked physicists "What do you do for your living?"
By industry the largest proportion were in AEROSPACE, followed by:
The main function of their job in 2007 was, in order:
A Postgraduate Certificate of Education Course (PGCE) lasts one year. It's still not that difficult to obtain a place on a science PGCE provided that you can show some evidence of interest in teaching such as voluntary work at a school. Remember though that you need to apply well in advance for courses. Remember that you can also teach physics in Colleges of Further Education, private schools and the Armed Forces. There is a shortage of science teachers, who are eligible for an enhanced bursary during training. See www.kent.ac.uk/careers/siteach.htm
These use a variety of physics and computing skills in diagnosis and treatment of illness including such techniques as radiography and ultrasound. Tasks include introducing, calibrating, using and maintaining medical equipment. Entry is sometimes direct into a job, but often now after a relevant Masters degree. Normal entry route is via the National Scheme for Training Clinical Scientists advertised in February each year with a closing date in March. There are also jobs with medical equipment suppliers in designing, developing and marketing equipment. Related jobs include Health (Radiation) Physicist in the nuclear industry (see below) and Biomedical Engineer - designing heart valves, artificial limbs etc.

Physicist Niels Bohr often told a story to illustrate notions of complexity and understanding. "Once upon a time a rabbinical student went to hear three lectures by a famous rabbi. Afterwards he told his friends,
'The first talk was brilliant, clear and simple. I understood every word.
The second was even better, deep and subtle. I didn't understand much, but the rabbi understood all of it.
The third was by far the finest, a great and unforgettable experience. I understood nothing and the rabbi didn't understand much either.'"
|The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
Bill WattersonThere is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable -There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
Douglas Adams
A neutron walked into a bar and said, "I'd like a beer, please."
After the bartender gave him one, he said, "How much will that be?"
"For you?" said the bartender, "No charge
A long time ago a student went to three lectures by a famous rabbi. Afterwards he told his friends, 'The first talk was brilliant, clear and simple. I understood every word. The second was even better, deep and subtle. I didn't understand much, but the rabbi understood all of it. The third was by far the finest: I understood nothing and the rabbi didn't understand much either.
Story told by physicist Niels Bohr
A report from Oxford Economics consultancy commissioned by the UK Space Agency says that UK space companies have grown by 10% a year since 2007 and predicts the growth will continue in 2010. The space business now has a turnover of £7.5bn, with employment rising at 15% a year. 80,000 UK jobs are dependent on space in some way.
- Downstream uses space technology: satellite broadcasting and telecommunications, sat-nav. The best performance was in downstream activities (£6.6bn of the total)
- Upstream provides space technology: satellite manufacturing, their components, ground control systems; research, etc. Upstream also had annual growth of 3%.
Over 70% of employees in the sector are degree-qualified. The UK space sector could create up to 100,000 new UK jobs and increase revenues to £40bn a year. Growth areas are likely to include Earth observation, space tourism and broadband internet via satellite.

Synology NAS as the ultimate XBMC media backend
As you can read in my previous posts I'm a big fan of the Synology NAS products and the XBMC media center. In this post I'll show you how to transform the Synology NAS into the ultimate XBMC media backend.
This post is based on the following hard- and software;
- Synology DS 410 with DSM 4.1
- SABnzbd 0.7.5
- Sickbeard alpha master (source: be000adf16454bb67c1968662ef20f31aba8193d)
- CouchPotato Server (date october 26 2012)
- phpMyAdmin 3.5.3-002
- XBMC (pre-)frodo 12.0 RC1
UPDATE (Jan, 9 2013): I just tested this complete guide against Synology DSM 4.2 Beta and everything works almost the same. The only difference is the new layout of the Package Center. All the packages discussed in this post are working on DSM 4.2.
Before we begin
Let's take a look on how all these applications can make your life (a little bit) easier...
SABnzbd is an Open Source Binary Newsreader written in Python. It's totally free, incredibly easy to use, and works practically everywhere. SABnzbd makes Usenet as simple and streamlined as possible by automating everything we can. All you have to do is add an .nzb. SABnzbd takes over from there, where it will be automatically downloaded, verified, repaired, extracted and filed away with zero human interaction.
Sick Beard is a PVR for newsgroup users (with limited torrent support). It watches for new episodes of your favorite shows and when they are posted it downloads them, sorts and renames them, and optionally generates metadata for them. It currently supports NZBs.org, NZBMatrix, NZBs'R'Us, Newzbin, Womble's Index, NZB.su, TVTorrents and EZRSS and retrieves show information from theTVDB.com and TVRage.com.
CouchPotato is an automatic NZB and torrent downloader for movies. You can keep a "want to watch"-list and it will search for NZBs/torrents of these items every X hours. Once a correct release is found, matching the correct quality, it will send it to SABnzbd or download the .nzb or .torrent to a specified directory.
Other things you might need
Usenet server account
Sickbeard, CouchPotato and Headphones will instruct SABnzbd to download media from usenet, most ISPs will offer a free of charge usenet server but mostly with limited retention times and download speed. If you first want to try this setup this might be fine for the beginning but if you want to download some older content its recommended to get a paid usenet account. There are many usenet providers out there, find one which best suits your needs. A view examples;
- UsenetServer ($10.00 for one month or $95.40 for one year);
- Unlimited Access;
- 1546 Days of retention
- 20 Connections
- Newshosting($9.99 for one month or $99.99 for one year);
- Unlimited Access;
- 1546 Days of retention
- 30 connections
Optional: SickBeard and CouchPotato will help you to find your favorite TV Shows or movies. They do this by using 'Search Providers', there are free of charge search providers out there like nzbz.ru and more. SickBeard also has a own searchindexer.
Excellent guide, worked great right from the start!
Hi Rob, first of all, thanks for this excellent guide!!
But I think a part may be missing:
On page 4 you say "enter the API Key and Category which we created earlier in the SABnzbd configuration", but there is nothing on creating categories on page 3.
Also, when I followed the giude SABnzbd ended with an error that autoProcessTV.cfg is missing or invalid. You probably have to rename the sample file in the SickBeard installation directory. This also seems to be missing from your guide or maybe I do need glasses. 🙂
Hi all,
Excellent guide. Complements to the author! I'm new to all this and had what is probably a basic question. Should the metadata for a show be in the same folder as the actual episode itself in order for XBMC to recognize and utilize the metadata via UPnP? My current setup stores the episode and its corresponding metadata in different folders. Does XBMC have a setting for this? XBMC recognizes and plays the episodes, but it doesn't display any of the artwork, episode info, etc… Thanks in advance for your assistance…
My Synology crashed and have spent hours trying to rectify. I blew away all installs, upgraded DSM to 4.2 an followed your lead. Its awesome THANKS!
Only recommendation is the post-process for TV as not mentioned. Can you add this to my post here for myself and others?
Really appreciate the effort and professionalism of post.
Am I right in thinking you use the sabToSickBeard.py script to post process. Can't see any mention in writing but see mention in a pic..
I've installed all of the programs and they seem to work correctly individually. when i set a show to watch in sick beard it doesnt seem to download in SABnzbd.. and advice on how to make sure the API is working? or do i need to set up the watch folder? i just didnt see anything about the watch folder in setup
Thanks for great article. For the last couple months, I have been trying to setup a new HT environment and tried many different configurations. According to the experience I had, I would like to kindly ask following questions:
1. Do Sick beard and Couchpotato installed in Synology NAS have watchlist support from IMDb and trakt?
2. I am not a collection guy so I want XBMC to delete movie/tv show after I finish watching. In this setup, have you been able to achieve it? (or have you tried?)
3. What is the total cpu and memory usage for SickBeard+CouchPotato+SabNZBD? (I am thinking to buy either DS112 or DS112+ or identical hardware but w/o knowing memory and cpu usage, can not make my choice. I also don't want to spend more as DS212 memory and CPU is enough for these applications as there is no other different between DS112 and DS112+)
5. Have you ever checked QNAP products? When it comes to NAS, I am always in dilemma between QNAP and Synology. For SabNZBD+CouchPotato+SickBeard, that would be great to know which NAS brand is doing better. (performance and feature wise)
Sorry to ask to many question 🙂
I want to know the cpu usage too.
Couldn't get it to work on DSM 4.1. Getting errors when trying to start CouchPotatoServer (from research on the internet: CPS requires certain Python stuff that isn't included in the Synology version of Python), Getting errors when trying to start SABnzdb.
Couldn't get it to work on DSM 4.2. After installing Python, trying to install the other three results in "Run python first", which of course is impossible since Python isn't a runnable package.
I succesfuly installed and use sick beard ( i still don't know how to use post processing ) then i tried to use couchpotatoe but after i made all my configs, i have to use a pass and username to logg in ??? what does this mean ?
Thanks Rob 🙂 I'll eagerly await your tuto for Frobo. I just built a htpc last week, and since I just ordered the parts for the second htpc (slaapkamer :D), having my Syno be the central database server will be great. Thanks very much for the time you take to help us noobs out; it *is* appreciated 🙂
Now Frodo is live, can we expect the guide for Frodo soon?
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
I have a question. Is there a way to automatically Post-Process TV shows once SABnzbd has completed downloading? (Currently, the episodes just sit in the Completed folder.) Or is Manual Post-Processing through Sick Beard the only way to move the episode and rename?
I let SabdNZBd do the post processing, look under "sorting" and "Categories"
I have found a way to make it work. I have downloaded sickbeard for windows and copied the AutoProcessTV folder into the shared folder download. In the folder i renamed autoProcessTV.cfg.sample to autoProcessTV.cfg
After that i changed the folder settings in SABnzbd for scripts to /volume1/download/AutoProcessTV
Then i mate the category tv and set the script to sabToSickbeard.py. So now when it has finished downloaded it will Post-Process automatic.
I've tried this way but when browsing the download folder it doesn't find the autoprocesstv folder! I have no clue how to ssh in and change it that way so I'm stuck on this part 🙂 h
Hi SYNOLOGYIP:5050 and SYNOLOGYIP:8080 do not work. Any clue why?

Car Camera acts as eyewitness
by Edwin
The Car Camera is a rather interesting device to have, as it can be mounted in just about any vehicle thanks to the two-size adhesive sticker located at the bottom of the mount. It is able to record events that occur both inside and outside, helping you capture the evidence for legal or insurance purposes. It can be powered by a 12V DC power cord or a trio of AAA batteries, and records AVI video in 320 x 240 resolution. All recordings are stored on an SD memory card that ranges anywhere from 128MB to 2GB. The Car Camera can be yours for $69.

Would you like more DIY Valentines' Day ideas?
Here at the Purple Paper House
we don't actually celebrate Valentines' Day.
we do LOVE the
true nature
of the day.
Valentines' Day is a commemoration of
a priest in Ancient Rome
– yep he was called Valentine –
who ignored a decree from the Caesar
that soldiers were not allowed to be married.
The belief was,
that married Centurions
would not concentrate in battle
as they would be dreaming of their wives back home.
True stuff!
So, common soldiers were banned from getting married.
Now Valentine,
a true romantic,
thought that this was poppy-cock.
So he ignored the law
and married soldiers and their lovely ladies
in secret.
He obviously got busted,
was executed
and was eventually Sainted for his troubles.
So . . . . . . . .
. . . . what is the moral of my musings?
Well, Valentines' Day is actually a celebration of
married couples.
So I hope to inspire all those married couples to celebrate their
decision to become married
and their
commitment to each other.
Happy Valentines' Day
Click on images to go to tutorials :)
So what was your favourite DIY this Valentines'?
Let me know and even leave a link in the comments.
I'd love to hear from you ;)
