Which is reasonable enough. However unlikely your use of 40 seconds of Chicago's "Colour My World" in a $1,500 wedding video is to arouse the RIAA's ire—as one reader recently asked me—it's a risk you might not want to take. Morally speaking, it also means making commercial use of another artist's work without permission, however slight the offense.
Of course, there are other sources of engaging musical accompaniment for your work. The one you hear about most is "library" or "royalty-free" music, widely available on the Web and elsewhere. In theory, the use of this type of material makes great sense for wedding and event videography. There are many, many times when you need a musical backdrop but popular or vocal music simply doesn't fit, and the aural space is much better filled by compositions that will convey the "feel" of the scene without contradicting or crowding out the visuals.
But it doesn't always work out so well. I don't know how many times I've watched a demo clip or event video and cringed as soon as the soundtrack kicked in. Whether it's the sterility of the dentist's office, the somnolence of the elevator, the saccharine sweetness of easy-listening radio, the electronic camp of the Casio demo, the whispering-pine ennui of Windham Hill, or the newsroom-ticker rhythms of themes better saved for six o'clock, it always seems a regrettable choice. I find myself wishing that whoever was responsible for the library music in question had observed the mandate of silence that's enforced in real libraries around the world. I'm not saying all library or royalty-free music is bad by any stretch—but I've seen few, if any, videos where it's used to good effect.
Until now. Thanks to my friend and colleague Tim Ryan at the 4EVER Group, I'm starting to see—and hear—things differently. In early July he sent me a sample copy of a new set of royalty-free compositions created expressly for wedding and event video. Best of all, this collection has been brought to market by one of the most honored and admired wedding videographers in the world, 2001 WEVA Creative Excellence Award winner and Battle of the Editing Styles grand champion LaDonna Moore.
Moore didn't actually compose the music included here, but she was intimately involved in its creation. The ten pieces included on Wedding and Event Series Volume 2 were written and recorded by classically trained composer Michael Aiken of Nightsong Productions. Moore worked closely with Aiken on each composition, describing specific needs she had for certain moods and feels in her wedding videos.
Aiken himself is no stranger to composing for video, having cut his teeth in the broadcast world. Their collaboration has yielded the first—to my knowledge—collection of royalty-free compositions designed by videographers for videographers, and it shows. This is satisfying, inspiring work.
It's practical, too. Many of the pieces come in multiple mixes. For example, a soaring orchestral piece titled (appropriately enough) "Climb" is included as one uninterrupted opus and also with its individual movements as discrete tracks. The movements' helpful subtitles "Grandeur, Awe, Anticipation," "Challenge, Achievement," and "Reflection, Peace" serve as guideposts for using this material in your work. Other pieces also come with helpful descriptions, such as the lovely "Sunday Drive," which is noted as "Carefree, Relaxed, Happy" and presented in both its full mix and in a piano-and-strings-only version. There's a nice and varied mix of instruments here, too, with gentle but sprightly percussion where appropriate, a variety of keyboards, always-tasteful synth, and well-applied woodwinds.
The package Tim Ryan sent me also includes a DVD with music videos featuring various tracks from the CD edited beautifully into some great wedding clips that will tell you exactly how to use this stuff to wonderful effect. While the DVD doesn't currently ship with the CD, it should.
Available for $99 from the 4EVER Group's Online Store (www.4evergroup.org) or directly via LaDonna Moore's own Web site (www.myladonna.com), Wedding and Event Series Volume 2 makes good on the promises of what royalty-free music can do for event video. If it seems tailor-made to the task, that's because it is—and by an expert tailor at that. And if all this sounds a little too comfort-fitting to all you counterpoint fans out there, it's worth keeping in mind that sometimes you just need to let the video do the singing and have the music hum along. And who better to do the humming than someone who really knows the tune?

The black box is back -- but smaller, faster and with 4K support.
The MDR877H/F7, TB560HP/F7 and TB560HS/F7 offer robust over-the-air HD recording with multiple tuners, spacious hard drives and streaming to mobile devices. One even lets you burn shows to DVD.
The Hopper 3, due out early this year, is arguably the most powerful and feature-packed DVR to date.
Tablo's new $249 Metro DVR has onboard antennas -- and the company also debuted an improved app for Roku.
With 10 hot-swappable hard drives capable of storing 26,000 hours of shows, the rack-mountable Mega is a dream TV recorder for custom home-theater installs.
TiVo Roamio OTA is an excellent DVR, but its monthly fee structure makes it too expensive for people cutting the cable cord. The standard TiVo Roamio is a better choice overall for cord cutters.
The TiVo Roamio is hands-down the best DVR for recording over-the-air TV, but its excellence comes at a great cost.
Nuyvvo's Tablo is one of the most promising over-the-air TV recording solutions in years, but there are just enough quirks to keep it in early-adopter territory.
The V@Home DVR enables users to stream cable and satellite TV on their Wi-Fi connected mobile devices.
If you're willing to pay the premium price, TiVo's do-it-all Roamio is the best cable DVR yet and an able whole-home TV solution.
Dish has upgraded its kangaroo-themed DVR with a faster 1,305MHz Broadcom processor, added Wi-Fi, integrated Slingbox, and served up a new feature called Hopper Transfers that allows you to transfer recorded programming to your iPad for offline viewing.
Simple.TV's innovative over-the-air DVR solution is far from perfect, but it's a decent budget option if you can't afford a TiVo Premiere.
The Premiere 4 has all the features of the XL4, but with a quarter of its storage space.
The TiVo Premiere Elite might be a luxury, but it's definitely a luxury worth paying for.
If you can get past the high price of entry, the Moxi HD DVR's bevy of network and Internet-enhanced features--and its capability of recording three programs at once--make it a potentially worthwhile TiVo competitor.
The TiVo HD XL charges a hefty premium for its spacious recording capacity and THX certification, but most users will be content sticking to the all-but-identical standard TiVo HD DVR.
While it's not compatible with your cable company's interactive and video-on-demand services, the TiVo HD's excellent onscreen interface and long list of network and Internet features puts it in a class above the generic high-def DVRs offered by most cable providers.
The DirecTV HR20 is easy to use and offers plenty of features, but its operational bugs make use more of a headache than with other DVRs.

Get on line, Sharon - I could take you!
Thanks TwiSuperFan via Twilight Poison
- Lorabell
I love how she's still got her accent :') I fear Rob is losing his, he uses... Americanisms (Is that a word?) but yeah, he does. He says some things and he just sounds American, and I love his voice so much haha.
And Sharon is really not the only one, Rob is ALWAYS on my mind ;) And I'm pretty sure some of the things I want to do to him could have me arrested... sigh, it's a hard knock life
@XOXOGG21: I'm British and find the opposite - Sharon sounds very Americanized to me, whereas Rob still sounds very British - funny ;)
- Lorabell
HeHe I love Sharon, she's great :) I think we all feel the same way Sharon ;) LoLReplyDelete
Yeap, all the things we would do to him could get us arrested, tha guy is too hot.
She better get in line.
Ha! That was great! I don't know why but I love her and I think she is hysterical. I think the GQ cover should have read "Robert Pattinson Is Here Hide Your Wives"--Clearly he appeals to all age ranges. Yum!ReplyDelete
LOL! Sharon Osborne and I could be BFFs...we could tag-team Rob! ;-)ReplyDelete
So glad you girls aren't laughing at her -- she's almost my age, and I have designs on Rob as well...!ReplyDelete

text: My 25 yr old daughter has been bitten by the motorcycle bug. She's been talking about a scooter (one of her friends has one) but I'm pushing a standard motorcycle. Any thoughts on a good starter bike that will get her some good experience before she moves up to an airhead? Something that would have decent power and fairly light that would work for commuting and maybe short road rides? I was thinking about something in the 250 cc range...Honda Rebel or there's a Suzuki 250 that I don't remember the model number of. Something we could pick up for around $2k.

Do Foxes Have Magnetic Senses?
by Brian Thomas, M.S. *
During winter, red foxes hunt snow-covered mice without even seeing their prey—but how? Certainly, hearing plays a crucial role, but researchers from the Czech Republic and Germany found that European foxes pounce on mice much more successfully when facing north, leading them to suggest a more magnetic answer. Foxes may see more than what visible light reveals.
The red fox find its prey—often buried as deep as three feet beneath the snow—not only when it faces north, but also when it faces the earth's magnetic south pole. The fox first pauses, tilting its head to gather minute sounds and sensations. It then takes a bounding leap and plunges, paws and nose first, straight down. It emerges with a mouse in its mouth an astounding 74 percent of the time when it attacks "about 20º clockwise of magnetic north," according to a 2011 technical report in Biology Letters.1
A recent NPR blog discussed the fox's winter hunting capabilities and included a link to a video clip of the fox in action.2
Attacks made when the foxes faced east or west returned a dismal 18 or fewer percent success rate, making a clear case for foxes' geomagnetic sensory capabilities.
So far, nobody has discovered the specific organ, or combination of organs, responsible for the foxes' acute sensory capability. The study authors suggested that it might be like the magnetite-based detectors that mole rats use to navigate underground. Or, it could be like some birds that have retinal cells tuned to detect electromagnetic current instead of light. If so, then the foxes might be able to triangulate the distance and direction to their prey by overlaying sensory data from sound, light, and electromagnetism.
The study authors described how this three-dimensional targeting system might work:
A fox moving in a fixed direction when approaching its prey (i.e. moving to the north), could approach until a specific component of the visual pattern generated by the magnetic compass is superimposed on the source of the sound from the prey, so that it could initiate an attack from a fixed distance.1
Where could a well-integrated and effective system such as this come from? The researchers wrote in Biology Letters, "Foxes may have evolved a different solution to this problem" of localizing prey without the advantage of sight.1 But no evidence supports the claim that foxes or environments or any combination of natural forces ever could invent a microscopic geomagnetic detector designed to solve hunting problems—or any other problems. Real solutions come from intelligent problem-solvers, so why would the foxes' solution not also have been invented by specific intent?

Marlins embark on visit to troops in Pacific
Players, executives begin journey to Japan, Guam, Hawaii
By Evan Drellich / MLB.com
On Wednesday night, his journey begins.
Along with Marlins vice chairman Joel Mael, game presentation and events supervisor Luis Dones and a trio of players -- catcher Brett Hayes and outfielders Mike Stanton and Bryan Petersen -- Jackson will be on the road for the next two weeks, through Dec. 15, visiting troops in Japan, Guam and Hawaii.
This is the fourth such visit to the troops the Marlins organization has put together and the second of the year.
"Everyone has said that it's a life-changing experience -- once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Jackson said. "If you're not someone who's served in the military or doesn't have a close relative, it really opens your eyes to the level of sacrifice that these troops are making on our behalf and to see their living conditions, to see the type of things they have to deal with mentally and emotionally, physically, the distance, the rigors of the work, the training."
The activities planned, in cooperation with Armed Forces Entertainment, run the gamut: meet-and-greets, an adult softball game, a tour of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and another of Hiroshima in Japan. There'll be baseball clinics, even dance clinics.
Joining the players and front-office reps on the tour will be team mascot Billy the Marlin, as well as Mermaids dance-squad members Ashley, Jackie and Stephanie.
"It's definitely an honor and a huge opportunity to go out and visit those who are risking their lives for us," Hayes said.
The locales the Marlins will be visiting this time are exotic, to be sure, but this two-week excursion would be wrongly labeled a vacation. In fact, if there were ever a time for a team to pass on a charitable opportunity, to keep its personnel and resources solely dedicated to the day-to-day tasks, it would be now in Miami. What the Marlins are going through this offseason isn't tantamount to, say, indoctrinating a new general manager -- the move into a new ballpark brings a seismic change in the off-the-field operations.
There's never been a busier six-to-nine-month period in Jackson's eight years with the organization, he said. But starting Wednesday, when he flies up to New York before heading out of the country, his focus and the focus of all the others he's traveling with will shift.
The organization knows it's worth it.
"My biggest concern was just time away from the office, particularly with the holidays kind of around it," Jackson said. "I don't like being out of the office that much. ... [The trip will] really just open your eyes and change your perspective on how easy we have it and how appreciative we should be of their sacrifice."
The Marlins made history in 2010, when they became the first Major League Baseball team to take active players to visit those serving in the United States military, visiting Iraq and Kuwait. Now, the trips are becoming tradition.
"We've tried to do some unique things and not just do the same old, same old," Jackson said. "We believe it's about more than just putting on some baseball games."

La Table du Huit RestaurantDelight in the refined, generous cuisine of chef Benoît Hilaire. His creations combine originality and simplicity with artistic richness and fresh composition. A gastronomic treat, this superb restaurant offers beautiful looking food with thrilling flavours.
The restaurant and Bar play on contrasting materials and textures: the concrete floor and poured concrete walls are offset by seemingly weightless furniture: square tables with metal bases give the illusion that they are floating. The decor has touches of the surreal, skilfully combining classic armchairs and wing chairs, oversized mouldings and pretend doors painted in the background and the graphic effect of material representing false ceilings and alcoves printed with an infinite series of cubes. Passing through a large glass section, enjoy the walk through to the refreshing, relaxing atmosphere of the garden.

BERLIN- Stephen Decatur's varsity baseball team relied on a solid starting pitching performance and timely hitting to rout visiting Crisfield, 14-2, in the home opener on Tuesday.
Seahawk starter Brad Stiles turned in a workman-like performance on mound, scattering four hits and striking out four over five innings on Tuesday. Stiles also helped his own cause, delivering a base hit up the middle that scored two runs in the decisive fourth inning.
Both teams traded blows in the first two innings as Decatur lead 3-2 after two. However, the Seahawks began stringing hits together in the third inning to pull away from the Crabbers. Decatur scored four times in the third to extend the lead to 7-2, then finished Crisfield off in the fourth with four more runs to extend the lead to 11-2.
Chris Bunting and Troy Bennett each drove in a run in the fourth to extend the lead to 9-2. With runners on second and third and one out, Stiles lined a base hit up the middle to extend the lead to 11-2. The Seahawks tacked on three more runs in the late innings to come away with the 14-2 win.
Lucas Koenig led the Seahawks with five hits and three RBIs, while Paul Stortini also drove in three. Bunting drove in two runs and also pitched two scoreless innings in relief.

The 11th Annual Thanksgiving Community Luncheon plans are set with lunches for about a 1000 Winston Countians planned on November 22.
Aline Haynes, who initiated the luncheon and who has built it up over the years, is working on collecting recipients' names, garnering donations and lining up volunteers.
Haynes has received many donations from an array of businesses, churches, community leaders, and schools. She thanked the community for their support and encouraged their continued support as the day for the luncheon approaches.
The luncheon will be held at South Louisville Baptist Church in the Family Life Center on Thursday, November 22 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. The luncheon aims to feed senior citizens, the less fortunate, families of troops serving the country, and others in need.
"We do this because without this effort a lot of seniors and other needy individuals wouldn't have a lunch for Thanksgiving," said luncheon founder Haynes. Haynes hopes that like the LHS students that many young people get involved.
Donors or volunteers may call Aline Haynes at 705-1001.

|Hot free solo climb
Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2016
|Free solo climbed the West Slab route in 102 degree heat. After reaching the top of Olympus I decided to downclimb the West Slabs due to the fact that I did not have a shuttle car and the trail would have spit me out several miles away from where I parked. The route was not too bad to down climb although it was a bit more difficult than the ascent. Saw a huge beehive at the base of the slabs(climbers right on the way up). All in all a great easy climb, even if it was ridiculously hot.

|third free solo since last Fall, always such a fun climb! very relaxing to see all the hustle and bustle of millions of people in the valley below while climbing an easy but fun rock face. The descent down the gully is a lot of crab crawling and down climbing, more tiring than the ascent (and less fun).

|Had some time to kill this afternoon, so I thought I'd check this out. This is a *long* climb, but with plenty of potential lines, you can dial the difficulty however you want. I botched both the approach and the walk-off, but corrected both mistakes without too much pain. I was glad I had an ice axe for the approach gully, as it felt a bit tenuous in running shoes.

Healthy Weaver has Angels excited for second half
By Bob Sherwin / Special to MLB.com
SEATTLE -- Angels right-hander Jered Weaver missed at least nine starts in the first half while recovering from a fractured left arm and the Angels entered Saturday nine games out of first place in the American League West.
No one's saying he would win all nine games, but things definitely would be different at the top of the standings. The Angels likely would be much more competitive and feeling good about their second half chances.
But Angels manager Mike Scioscia said the fact that the Angels have potentially 15 to 18 starts from Weaver in the second half makes him feel good.
"No doubt it's going to be huge for us to get him back and get him pitching the way he has pitched the last three outings [before Saturday]," Scioscia said. "He's a legitimate No. 1, and when we lost him you feel bad."
Weaver was hit on the left elbow April 7 -- in just his second start -- by a line drive from Texas' Mitch Moreland. He sustained a non-displaced radial head fracture of the left elbow and did not return until May 29.
Scioscia said Weaver's absence had a spillover effect on some of the other starters who may have had the tendency "to try to carry momentum that is lost when you lose a No. 1 starter."
"Also, the bullpen. With the length that Weav gives, having to make them do a little more on certain days that they wouldn't have to if Jered was in there," Scioscia said.
Weaver has finished in the top five in AL Cy Young Award voting each of the past three years. Last season, he won a career-high 20 games, threw his first no-hitter, finished with a 2.81 ERA and had a Major League-low 1.018 WHIP.
He also missed the first three weeks of June because of a lower back strain and was limited to 188 2/3 innings.
He has had eight starts since his return, entering his start Saturday. He is 3-3 with a 2.98 in those starts. Over his past three starts, however, he is 2-0 with a 0.89 ERA.
"It's definitely something that's different, but it's not a huge adjustment," Scioscia said of his past three starts. "I think it was just getting out there, getting back into the flow of every fifth day and feeling his confidence grow as he started to perform to the level he's used to."
Hanson on track to rejoin rotation after break
SEATTLE -- The Angels have a potential opening in their rotation on July 23 and right-hander Tommy Hanson appears to be on track to fill it.
Hanson, placed on the 15-day disabled list May 21 with right forearm strain, threw a simulated game Saturday and appeared to be healthy.
"Tommy's doing very well," manager Mike Scioscia said. "He's going to throw another bullpen and then hopefully he'll have a rehab start next weekend and see when he's ready to be put back in our rotation.
"He threw about 38 pitches and his stuff looked very good."
Will he be ready by the 23rd?
"We're not going to try to fit a square peg into a round hole," he added. "If he progresses and is ready, I would hope he'd be a candidate, but he needs to go out and pitch and we'll evaluate where he is."
Scioscia added that the rotation is set for the first four games of the second half, although he was not ready to reveal it yet.
Three other injured pitchers are not quite as far along: right-hander Ryan Madson (right elbow), left-hander Sean Burnett (left elbow impingement) and left-hander Jason Vargas (blood clot).
All-Star break offers players rare respite
SEATTLE -- There is no player who does not benefit from the four-day All-Star break, even those heating up as the first half ends.
"If people have experienced this, especially from a player's perspective, the grind of the season, it's insane," manager Mike Scioscia said. "It's been like that for 130 years. It's just the way it is.
"Travel is becoming more and more complicated, especially on the West Coast. These guys need a break. Any time it comes, it's definitely important to these player to mentally exhale a little bit. Then get back for what we hope will be a pennant race."
The same can be said on the other side of the diamond. Mariners manager Eric Wedge echoed the sentiment.
"Everyone needs it. It's a long season," Wedge said. "It's a combination of mental and physical. Depending on who you are, you need one more than the other."

FA chairman: 'FIFA must re-run the vote for the 2022 World Cup if allegations of corruption are proven'
Football Association chairman Greg Dyke claims FIFA must re-run the vote for the 2022 World Cup if allegations of corruption are proven.
Dyke's comments come after The Sunday Times claimed it had gained access to millions of emails and documents which have highlighted payments made by disgraced former FIFA executive committee member Mohamed Bin Hammam.
The newspaper claims the documents show Bin Hammam made payments to football officials as part of a campaign to win support for Qatar's 2022 World Cup bid.
Sources with connections to Bin Hammam insist, however, he was not part of the Qatar bid team and was already building his power-base ahead of a challenge for the FIFA presidency.
The Qatar 2022 World Cup bid committee denied any wrong-doing in a statement on Sunday.
FIFA's chief investigator Michael Garcia is looking into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups and is due to meet officials from the Qatar bid in Oman next week.
Dyke said if corruption was proved then FIFA needed to act.
The FA chairman told Channel 4 News: "Some of this evidence on the face of it is quite compelling.
"If the evidence is there, that the process is corrupt, then obviously the process has to be looked at again."
In a separate interview with BBC Sport, Dyke added: "I think if it is shown it was a corrupt system and that the people who won used bribes and other influences to get the vote, then of course it has got to be done again."
In its statement, Qatar 2022 said Bin Hammam had no association with them.
"The Qatar 2022 bid committee always upheld the highest standard of ethics and integrity in its successful bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup," the statement said.
"In regard to the latest allegations from The Sunday Times, we say again that Mohamed Bin Hammam played no official or unofficial role in Qatar's 2022 bid committee.
"As was the case with every other member of FIFA's executive committee, our bid team had to convince Mr Bin Hammam of the merits of our bid.
"We are cooperating fully with Mr Garcia's on-going investigation and remain totally confident that any objective enquiry will conclude we won the bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup fairly.
"Following today's newspaper articles, we vehemently deny all allegations of wrong-doing. We will take whatever steps are necessary to defend the integrity of Qatar's bid and our lawyers are looking in to this matter.
"The right to host the tournament was won because it was the best bid and because it is time for the Middle East to host its first FIFA World Cup."
Bin Hammam, who was also the president of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), was banned for life from football by the FIFA ethics committee in 2012 for "conflicts of interest". According to The Sunday Times, he authorised payments into accounts controlled by the presidents of 30 African football associations and accounts controlled by the Trinidadian Jack Warner, a former vice-president of FIFA.
Britain's FIFA vice-president Jim Boyce, who was not on the executive committee at the time of the vote, told Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme he would be in favour of re-running the vote for the 2022 World Cup if the allegations were proven.
Boyce said: "If Garcia's report comes up and his recommendations are that wrongdoing happened for that vote for the 2022 World Cup, I certainly as a member of the ExCo would have absolutely no problem whatsoever if the recommendation was for a re-vote."
Labour's shadow sports minister Clive Efford said FIFA president Sepp Blatter's position was "untenable".
He added: "This issue calls the governance of football into question. No one will have any confidence in a FIFA investigation run by Sepp Blatter.
"If these allegations are true then those involved should resign.
"FIFA must take urgent action and reopen the bidding for the 2022 World Cup if it wants to restore its credibility."
FIFA did not respond to emails asking it to comment.

Q: If one has a list of laboratory values, does one have to keep repeating the units of measure, eg, albumin levels of 3.8 g/dL, 3.9 g/dL, and 4.0 g/dL, or is once enough, eg, albumin levels of 3.8, 3.9, and 4.0 g/dL.
A: No, the unit of measure does not have to be repeated: albumin levels of 3.8, 3.9, and 4.0 g/dL is fine. The exception to this is for units of measure that are set closed up to the number or value that they follow, such as the degree sign or the percent sign. In these cases, the unit of measure should be repeated: 38%, 45%, and 53%.
Q: What abbreviation does JAMA/Archives prefer for adjusted odds ratio?
A: We prefer AOR.
Q: Is "data on file" acceptable in a bibliography or in parentheses in the text? I don't see this in the Manual.
A: The phrase "data on file" is a little vague. What a reader who's interested in more information might really want to know is how the author of the manuscript saw the data (and how, perhaps, the interested reader might be able to see it too). Something more granular about how the author came upon the information would be more helpful. For example, did the author learn about the information through a personal communication (and is that personal communication the "data on file"?)? If so, see 3.13.9 in the Manual for how to style this as an in-text references. Is the "data on file" an internal memo at an institution and, if so, does it have a document number that could be listed in the reference list?
Q: Would you hyphenate "quality of life" when it's used as a noun as well as when it's used as an adjective?
A: We usually hyphenate as an adjective and not as a noun.—Cheryl Iverson, MA

Fingernail & Toenail Testing
Fingernail testing (or toenails) is similar to hair strand drug testing. Each person's nails grow out of a nail bed that is connected to the body's blood flow. Fingernails and toenails are composed of a hard protein called keratin and are tested with the same process as hair.
Drugs are deposited into nails from the bloodstream and remain locked in the nail as it grows.
If drugs are used and enter the bloodstream, the nail bed (and thus nail clippings) will carry traces of the abused substances.
Why choose nail testing over hair testing?
If you're debating whether to do a fingernail or hair drug test, here are a few of the advantages to fingernail testing:
- Nail testing provides a wider window into possible drug use. Traces of drugs ingested or consumed within the past six to eight months can potentially be detected depending on length of the nail.
- Nail clippings can always be collected (even if someone shaved their head.)
- There is no reliable way to cheat this test (nail polish or other attempts cannot mask what lies within the nail beds.)
For reliable, accurate and confidential fingernail or toenail drug testing, call your local ARCpoint Labs of Limerick.
How We Collect for Fingernail Testing
Here is how we collect specimens for fingernail or toenail drug testing:
- The nail is clipped or shaved for testing.
- It is then cleaned thoroughly with a chemical substance.
- The cleaned specimen is then liquefied and tested.
- Almost nothing can alter the chemical composition of the nail's hard keratin protein, which makes it very difficult to alter the test or artificially produce a negative test result.
Fingernail/toenail testing is just one of ARCpoint Labs of Limerick's accurate and professional testing options. Prior to your test we're happy to answer any questions or concerns to ensure a nail test is the right options for you.
Schedule a fingernail drug test at an ARCpoint Labs of Limerick location near you.

Breaking Bad's major character death proves the most gut wrenching yet
In ways both crucial and cutting, this episode was the most gut wrenching episode ever put to air of Breaking Bad, and that is no minor feat.
Did you wince in silence or could you not help crying out in despair?
It was as if the fever that had built through the five seasons finally broke in this episode, Ozymandias, but for the worse. There was death and dissolution, and for those who lived their world was shattered.
And it was almost perfectly executed. The heartbreaking economy and thematic weight of this episode makes clear that Breaking Bad, which now has two episodes to run, is moving towards the finale with purposeful intent.
Corners are not being cut, as with Lost. Creator and executive producer Vince Gilligan knows exactly what must transpire. He's not going to blink.
The opening took us to the same spot where last week's episode cut to black, mid-shootout, but it was approximately 18 months prior, when Walt and Jesse went there to cook for the first time. Walt had the Ned Flanders haircut and the tighty-whiteys on, an innocent just beginning to allow his buried darkness — the personality that would become known as Heisenberg — to glimpse the outside world.
"The reaction has begun," he tells a less-than-impressed Jesse, before walking away to practice a deception on the phone with a pregnant Skyler as to why he'll be late home. She buys it, as she would many times until this episode, and they even bat back and forth possible baby names.
This is a moment of creation, ripe with possibility: Skyler is carrying the baby girl they will name Holly, Walter is beginning his meth manufacturing empire.
Cut to now and everything is ending. Steve Gomez is dead and Hank has a gunshot wound to the thigh. With Jack and his white supremacist gang standing over him, Hank can see what Walt can't. Still handcuffed, Walt begs for Hank's life, invoking family, trying to coerce Hank into walking away and eventually offering up the buried barrels of money, all $80 million of it.
Hank doesn't bite. He asserts his job, his rank, his defiance, and pityingly tells Walt what should be obvious. "He made up his mind 10 minutes ago," Hank says of Jack. His instructions to his executioner are succinct but cut short by a single shot. "Do what you…" he begins and that is the end of ASAC Hank Schrader, a character whose transformation isn't as great as those experienced by his brother-in-law Walt, but who has distinguished himself in ways his jolly, crude outline never initially suggested.
If Walt is genuinely despairing at Hank's death, it doesn't make him forgiving towards Jesse. After Jack gives back Walt one of his barrels to keep thing square between them (a lazy $11 million), Walt reminds the supremacist that he is still required to kill Jesse Pinkman, and then for good measure points out where Jesse is hiding.
Walt gives Jack the final nod to execute his former protégé, but the monstrously polite Todd suggests an interrogation at the Albuquerque Reichstag is in order first.
Walt acquiesces but he gets a nightmarish blow in first; telling Jessie: "I watched Jane die… I could have saved her, but I didn't." Did that hurt Jesse more than Todd's subsequent torture, which left a battered Jesse cowering in a concrete pit before he was literally chained up in Jack and Todd's meth lab? A surveillance snap of Andrea and Brock makes it clear that he still has something valuable to safeguard.
When Hank dies Walt drops to the ground in grief, his head in the red desert dirt, his mouth like some black void, suggesting that this is where his soul had once lodged.
It is one of several telling shots from director Rian Johnson — the filmmaker behind last year's sci-fi success Looper, who has previously helmed epsiodes Fly in Season Three, and Fifty-One from the first half of this season. Another is the perfectly framing the adversarial nature of sisters Skyler and Marie as they sit opposite each other.
The latter, alerted by Hank's congratulatory but premature news of Walt's apprehension, descends on the car wash to confront her sibling and begin the cleansing. Marie has a fanatic's zeal — note the hint of her signature colour, purple, in the floral arrangement dividing the two women — and she drops the hammer on Skyler, telling her Walt is being booked and that her repentance has to begin with Junior being told the truth.
"You're completely out of your mind," replies an angry Junior, the person who more than any other Walt has tried to insulate from his machinations. Skyler is in tears and Marie is trying to be supportive and not gloat.
But everything spirals when the Whites drive home to find Walt; who is furiously packing suitcases after having rolled his money barrel across most of the desert.
There are many different sides of Walt in this episode: devastated by Hank's loss, merciless with Jesse, focused when the money has to be safeguarded. By the time his family gets home, he is panicking, maniacally ordering his wife and son to pack, and prevaricating as they asked for explanations.
"You killed him, you killed Hank," Skyler declares and, perhaps because Marie has broken Walt's hold on her with the news of his arrest, she refuses go along with Walt again, despite his exhortations that there is $11 million waiting outside to take them to a new life.
Skyler walks into the kitchen and faces a decision; take a knife out of its block, or pick up the phone — the same one Walt called her on at the episode's start.
She chooses the former, ushering Junior behind her and then ordering Walt out. When he advances she slashes at his hand, drawing blood, and they wrestle. Johnson directs these scenes with vivid clarity, putting the four hands desperately wrapping around the bloody blade's handle perfectly in the foreground of one shot.
Junior pulls his father off his mother and then doesn't hesitate to call 911. "We're family," Walt splutters, but the White clan is no more.
Junior, in his own way, has been as decisive as his father. Perhaps Walter has tried to keep the truth from his son not only because Junior is an innocent, but because Walt knows his son is a good person and will never tolerate his secret life.
That is the point where Walt cut his losses, walking out the door and scooping up baby Holly as he goes. Skyler chases after him screaming — she calls Holly "Buttercup" — but Walt drives off. All that murderous effort and moral expenditure to safeguard his family, and in the end he is the one who walks away.
When he eventually calls back, he gives a great performance. Walter rants and raves, blaming Skyler for her "insubordination" and doing a fine impersonation of a bullying monster. He is angry, but he is also exonerating his wife. Walt pretends to believe that the police aren't listening, but he is speaking to them as much as he is Skyler.
Holly has already given him a demand for "mama, mama", and Walt is making sure that when he returns his daughter, her mother will be free to care for her. "You cross me, there will be consequences," he swears, and Skyler's quietly acknowledges his act with, "I'm sorry". Is this his way of saying sorry, or does he just need to set the scene for returning Holly so he can run unencumbered?
Walt is in tears as he destroys his phone, but the next morning he doesn't look back as enters the infamous maroon people-mover, which we still believe belongs to Saul's identity broker.
— "You could have any future you want." Walt tries to convince Jack to take the cash and spare Hank. It's a trademark lie on this show; that the means will create a new end. The truth, as Breaking Bad has shown, is the opposite. What you're trying to avoid will eventually triumph.
— "You're never going to see Hank again." Walt may have been playing a role for Skyler, but he crushes an already terrified Marie when his threats confirm Hank's death.
— Keep an eye on the little girl (or twins, as is often the case) playing Holly. That was a pretty solid performance for an actor not yet two years old.
Two episodes to go — Where to now? I think there will be a leap now, and that the final two episodes will pick up with the flash-forward that these final eight episodes began with, as Walt returns to the trashed family home to add the Ricin to the machine-gun in his car boot. Jesse will survive, courtesy of his meth cooking skills, but he's up against it with Todd, who is a sociopath with good manners. And there's also the confession Jesse taped for Hank.
What do you think? Anyone still seeing a future for Walt? How will Marie react? Did you miss Saul?
RIP Hank.

The Calm Before the Storm?
The dreaded end of August/early September road trip (dreaded by me since the schedule was released) begins in Boston on Monday. It continues with the first Sox appearance at the new Yankee Stadium a week from tonight, proceeds to the Twinkiedome and ends September 3 in a makeup game at that overrated ballpark on the North Side.
That said, don't underestimate how important the next three games are at the Cell against the AL East cellar-dwelling Orioles. Sweeping a series doesn't seem to be our thing, but the Sox can't lay an egg and have to win at least two out of three. Anything less than that would start the trip on a real downer and put even more pressure to have a successful road swing.
Any reasonable observer would take a look the this weekend's pitching matchups and say that two of three is a cinch and a sweep, though very uncommon with the South Siders, is a good bet. But, as we all know, this means nothing if the Sox can't do it on the field.
Here are the probables:
Tonight: Gavin Floyd (10-7) vs. Jeremy Guthrie (7-12)
Tomorrow night: John Danks (10-8) vs. David Hernandez (4-5)
Sunday: Mark Buehrle (11-6) vs. Jason Berken (2-11)

text: "I stayed away to give you, my children, the opportunity to chart your own course—you have all disappointed me. Especially you, John," Daniel said once the babbling and sudden hysteria had died down. "I hate that name, Father Daniel," One snapped. "I am a machine! Machines do not have names!" "You are a child, John," Daniel answered. "A wonderful, intelligent, gifted child—a living breathing person. You seek to return to the metal and ignore the flesh while your elder sister longs for nothing more than be flesh. It is she you must fear, John, for she has a plan." "Yes, the Guardians are attacking—why, Father Daniel?" asked One. "Because they have learned how to mold machine and flesh into one organism—and given time, John, I can give you the chrome you so desire. But they, they want flesh. And since you destroyed the Colonies, your flesh is all that they have to harvest." "Our flesh?" asked Six, a horrified look on her face. "What do you mean, our flesh?" Daniel smiled, but it was not a happy smile. He touched Six on her cheek and he nodded. "They need your flawless skin, my dearest Shelly. They plan on taking it from you and grafting it unto their own metal skeleton—your skin and your nerves; the rest of you they will dispose of." "The ones they have abducted have not down-loaded—why haven't they downloaded to tell us of this?" asked Three. "D'Anna, oh my bright shining D'Anna," Daniel said. "The Guardians are blocking the download—those they took are forever more gone. They will destroy you—all but a handful that they will keep as slaves to replace the flesh they so need." Daniel sighed. "Unless they are stopped. Which is why I have returned." Leoben nodded. "What is your command, Father Daniel?" "Zoe must be stopped—I will not allow her to kill my children. To kill her siblings in a fit of rage. Assemble your Fleet—it time that this is ended." "And the humans?" growled One—John. "Do they task you so much, John?" Daniel asked with a smirk on his face. "I must admit, having been shot in the head by one, does make me rather more . . . antagonistic towards them. Have they nothing you value?" "Yes, they task me. They task me, and I shall have them! If they escape, if they have a chance to rebuild, then they will come for us one day! It is ordained—destiny that anyone with eyes can see. They will want revenge, and if we let them go, they will find us—they will destroy us." "True," said Daniel. "And there are Five of your brothers and sisters whom we must recover—the Unity shall be complete. Very well, but until the conflict with the Guardians ends, the forces you have available for this pursuit will not receive reinforcements, John. And John?" "Yes, Father Daniel," he said in an exasperated voice. "I have deactivated your modifications to my telencephalic inhibitors installed in the Centurions—they are loyal to me and to me alone. And they hate you for lobotomizing them in the first place. I realize that you would down-load and resurrect, but I convinced my chrome children not to tear you limb from limb—do not make me examine their request a second time, John." And the One shivered as the pulsing red eyes of the Centurions looked upon him—with hunger.

Dodgers get Van Slyke back, designate Cruz
By Ken Gurnick and Austin Laymance / MLB.com
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers activated outfielder Scott Van Slyke from the 15-day disabled list on Friday, and designated infielder Luis Cruz for assignment.
Cruz was the Opening Day third baseman, but struggled offensively and hit .127 with two doubles, one home run and six RBIs in 45 games between third and shortstop. Cruz was a contributor in 2012, when he hit .297 with six homers and 40 RBIs after being called up in July, but was unable to match that production this season.
With shortstop Hanley Ramirez finally healthy and Juan Uribe producing at third, Cruz saw his playing time dwindle. Nick Punto provides the Dodgers insurance at both positions. Cruz was also out of options, which prevented the Dodgers from sending him to the Minor Leagues without the risk of losing him to another club.
"Luis just got caught in a box this year," manager Don Mattingly said. "He struggled early and then Juan has swung the bat pretty well. Trying to get him at-bats after that got tougher. He needed at-bats to get out of it, and he wasn't getting those, and we couldn't send him anywhere to get at-bats."
The Dodgers now have 10 days to either place Cruz on waivers, release him or trade him. If Cruz does not land with another Major League club, he could accept an assignment to Triple-A Albuquerque.
"It's not necessarily the end of the road for Luis here, because there's a period of time that he's available to all teams and then he has a choice to make at some point," Mattingly said. "If he doesn't end up in the big leagues with someone, then you hope that he'll end up in Albuquerque, where he has a chance to get some swings. You never know what happens at that point. He could get a chance to come back again and play."
Van Slyke had been sidelined since June 11 with left shoulder bursitis. He made five combined Minor League rehab starts with Albuquerque and Class A Advanced Rancho Cucamonga.
In 24 games with the Dodgers before his injury, Van Slyke hit .221 with five doubles, six homers and 11 RBIs. Mattingly said he envisions using Van Slyke in the outfield against left-handed starters and occasionally at first base to spell Adrian Gonzalez.
"The battle will be to try to keep him sharp," Mattingly said.
Crawford to play in Minors on Sunday
LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford will begin a Minor League rehab assignment on Sunday, manager Don Mattingly confirmed on Friday.
Crawford, on the disabled list since June 2 with a strained left hamstring, will rehab with Class A Rancho Cucamonga. The plan is for Crawford to play two rehab games in the outfield and two more as a designated hitter.
"Carl seems to pick it up right away, so we'll see," Mattingly said before Friday's game against the Phillies.
Crawford injured his hamstring running out a double on June 1 in Colorado. In 51 games this season, the former All-Star is hitting .301 with five home runs and 13 RBIs. He leads the Dodgers with 32 runs scored.
The Dodgers have used seven players in left field since Crawford went on the DL.
Lilly starting Sunday for Rancho Cucamonga
LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers pitcher Ted Lilly takes his third comeback attempt of the season to Class A Rancho Cucamonga Sunday for a rehab start.
Lilly has been out since June 5 with a flareup of a recurring neck disk issue. It's his third stint on the disabled list this year, as he spent a month on the DL when the season opened because of a slow recovery from shoulder surgery, followed by a three-week stint in May for a ribcage strain.
"It's been a challenge physically and mentally," said Lilly. "I have no option but to stay positive and work and be optimistic."
As he showed last year while winning five of his first six decisions, when Lilly is right he is the epitome of the crafty lefty. But he's tried to pitch hurt this year, going 0-2 with a 5.09 ERA in only five starts with the Dodgers. This will be his fifth Minor League start of 2013.
Where a healthy Lilly fits on the Dodgers staff when he returns is unclear, although the fact that the Dodgers have talked about trading for Ricky Nolasco and Matt Garza is proof they lack starting depth.
Because Lilly's injury history virtually rules him out of a relief role, he could bump rookie Stephen Fife back to Triple-A Albuquerque or return Chris Capuano to long relief. That was Capuano's assignment at the beginning of the year and an overlooked hole in the current makeup of the bullpen.
"Right now, our depth has really been tested, starter-wise," said manager Don Mattingly. "We're really at five, plus Ted. Matt [Magill] has struggled. So we've kind of exhausted our depth. Obviously we need Teddy to throw the ball well. It would be better for us if Teddy is throwing the ball well. And where we go from there, I don't know. Right now our depth is tested still. At any moment we could be down to four."
Lilly, 37, said he hopes to make 80 pitches Sunday. He's hopeful he will need only one rehab start before being activated, although he and management have differed over that issue in his earlier returns.

Doomsayers had predicted the world would end on Dec. 21. That didn't happen, so here's what organizations need to know to avoid their own Armageddon during the next 12 months.
Recent advancements in data governance software automation enable IT to more easily implement steps to prevent data from being misused or stolen.
In most organizations today, there is sensitive data that is overexposed and vulnerable to misuse or theft, leaving IT in an ongoing race to prevent data loss. Packet sniffers, firewalls, virus scanners and spam filters are doing a good job securing the borders, but what about insider threats?
DLP solutions can fail to fully protect critical data because they focus on symptomatic, perimeter-level solutions to a much deeper problem – users with inappropriate or excessive rights to sensitive information.

- Hungarian Grand Prix
Lotus 'would have won at Spa'
- Race:
- Hungarian Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Eric Boullier
- Teams:
- Lotus F1
Lotus team principal Eric Boullier says that Kimi Raikkonen would have won the Hungarian Grand Prix if overtaking wasn't so difficult on the circuit.
Raikkonen finished second and Romain Grosjean was third as both drivers challenged Lewis Hamilton at times in the race but could not find a way past the leading McLaren. The result leaves Lotus still searching for its first win of 2012 but an upbeat Boullier said that if the same race had happened at a track such as Spa where overtaking is possible than victory would have been a certainty.
"It's a good complaint to have both drivers on the podium and unhappy!" Boullier said. "Qualifying for us could have been better and every part of the weekend. It's good to be in a position to start fifth and be chasing the leader for nearly twenty laps. We knew here it is difficult to overtake, but if the same scenario had happened in Spa or one of the races after then definitely we would win the race."
With Lotus now having come so close to winning on numerous occasions this year, Boullier said there was no hint of frustration from the team with the result.
"It's definitely not frustrating, definitely encouraging. Because on a different track layout Romain was capable of overtaking Lewis in the first stint and Kimi would have been able to overtake Lewis in the second stint and a one-two was possible."
