Liking the Tomato | Blackheart Magazine
"Now, clearly Zadie Smith intends this sexualization of the character. After all, we're seeing her through the eyes of Jerome and Howard, two men (father and son, even) who both totally lust after her. But as a young man reading On Beauty, I became incredibly turned on by Victoria. Every description of her oozed with sexual tension…"

Santa Monica jewelry heist takes $1.5 million
Police are in the process of searching for four men in connection with an armed robbery that swiped $1.5 million in jewelry.
The robbery occurred on Tuesday, April 26, at approximately 2:00 p.m. in the parking lot behind The Veggie Grill in Santa Monica. The assailants, described as males of unidentified race in their mid 20's, approached the victim after he had finished lunch.
Surrounding the victim's car, three of the four assailants proceeded to break out the front driver and passenger windows. According to Sergeant Richard Lewis, after reportedly slashing the victim's tires and pointing a handgun to the victim, the assailants grabbed a black hard case messenger bag containing the merchandise, and fled in a dark or metallic gray Nissan Sentra or Altima 4-door driven by a fourth suspect.
Initial reports described the victim as an employee of Susan Foster Exquisite Fine Jewelry, an upscale jewelry boutique in Brentwood with a reputation for catering to Hollywood actresses. However, according to Susan Foster, the owner of the boutique, the victim was an independent salesman not employed by her.
"This really had nothing to do with us," said Foster. "People have been writing about this as though it had something to do with us, but the victim was not employed by us. There was no loss on our end."
No injuries were reported from the incident.

Sudden hue shift to blue in Mountain Lion
It seems that issue is specific to Mountain Lion only and it is caused when the system switches between integrated Intel and more powerful ATI or Nvidia graphics cards. There are two threads about this: here and here. At the end of the first link there is a post that reseting PRAM fixes the issue. I tried that but I cannot yet confirm if it fixes the issue or not. One thing I noticed is that after reseting PRAM my MBP does not switch to the advanced graphics when I run Twitter or Chrome. Before resting any of this apps were causing such switching.
In case if you have hue shift issue, I would appreciate if you write that in comments. There is no need to write if you do NOT have the issue :)
Thank you!
Update: more links about the issue:
Apple communitiy #1
Apple community #2
Apple community #3
Apple community #4
MacRumors thread
So it is a Mountain Lion bug.
[Update, Aug 14, 2012] The issue is fixed in OS X 10.8.1 (developer preview build 12B13).
[Update, Sept 02, 2012] The issue is back in OS X 10.8.2 (developer preview build 12C31a).
[Update, Nov 27, 2012] It appears that the problem is specific to MacBook Pros with SSD. Looks like they load too fast. OS X runs multiple tasks in parallel and it tries to load the correct color profile into the discrete card too early. To solve the issue, log out from the current user and log in. Hue will disappear.

When not to use typoLink
A "go":
$url = $this->cObj->typoLink_URL(array( 'parameter' => $GLOBALS['TSFE']->id ));
A "no go":
$url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];But there is one case when you absolutely must not use typoLink to create the URL. It is when the URL points to the eID script. Why? Because there is no resolving of the speaking URL inside eID anyway. So it is a complete waste of time and memory to have something like
Just do it like this:
$url = t3lib_div::locationHeaderUrl('index.php?eID=tx_myext_eid').
That's the right way.

Why did 65% of russians vote for Putin?
This article is unusual for my blog because I never talk politics here. I consider this article to be one of the most important articles in my blog and my life.
Why did I write this article?
On December 7th, 2011 FoxNews showed a report about protesters in Moscow. Here it is:
The problem is: it is not Russia in the video. It is Greece. Fox News lied to its viewers. Same do other news agencies. They show you what you should see, not what really happens in Russia. They tell you what you should believe. And usually you do. Now read the truth.
I am russian. I lived in Russia until I was 27, than I emigrated (you will understand later why). But I am still russian, I follow every event that happens in Russia, I visit it regularly and I have relatives there. Most likely I will return to Russia in the near future. If you want to know the truth about Putin, read on. I must warn that this article represents my own views and talks about the history as I remember and know it. Some bits can be incorrect but general picture should be right.
I must tell that this is strictly my personal views on the subject.

Storing TypoScript in the file system
I store TypoScript in the file system. There is a main file, which is included to the site TypoScript template using
Other files are created logically, per feature or group. For example, I usually have:
- constants.txt – sets all constants
- config.txt – includes all "config" settings (such as "config.absRefPrefix", etc)
- page.txt – creates PAGE object, including "page.headerData"
- seo.txt – all SEO options (some "config" settings come here)
- news.txt – includes the news plugin I use
- home_page_objects.txt – all TypoScript object, specific for home page
- ...and so on.
- seo.txt, which contains certain SEO options from "config"
- "page.headerData", which can appear in other files as necessary
- It is versionable. I use Git to store projects and store TypoScript in Git.
- It is very clean and clear. I always know where the stuff is. Any new maintainer will be able to see it too immediately.
- It allows to customise, replace or remove features very quickly.

Jedi programmers
Dumb level is for those, who go for straight solutions, who never learn anything new, who do not care to find a better solution that they already know. Dumb programmers are best seen when they receive a bug report. Upon receiving a report, they start adding messages to the web page content at every possible code point, including points that are far from the cause of the problem (meanwhile visitors wonder what does that rubbish mean on the site). Sometimes dumb programmers just go and "fix" the issue by making the straightest, fastest and dumbest solution possible: the solution, which is neither good, nor it is entirely correct. Fixing typically happens on the live host and disrupts host's work with error messages and down times. Well, it is dumb.
Professional level is for those, who understand the importance of learning, the priority of the quality and that the first solution is not necessarily the best one. When it comes to bug fixing, they realize that to fix the issue, they need to find its cause. Professional people typically investigate first. Often they use developer's log, debug messages that are visible only to them or a debugger. People, who mastered the debugger, usually figure out the cause of the bug faster. Next they try to resolve the bug in a good way. Professionals do not take the first obvious approach but try to evaluate it from all sides and see the consequences of their fixes. They usually work at development host and choose to integrate their changes to the live environment with no or minimal disruption.
Jedy never do like dumb people but they often do the same as professional people do. Often, but not always. For example, with bugs a jedy can investigate the bug by just clicking and looking. Often they do not need to use the debugger or debug messages at all. And here I can't resist posting a quote from a sixth Harry Potter book:

Mac: adding a keyboard layout using AppleScript
We have a special keyboard layout in the country, where I live (Latvia). It includes certain special letters: like ā, ē, ū and so on. Many people here set Latvian keyboard layout as a default. However I cannot do that because this layout has one major disadvantage for people like me.
Those special letters are typed by one of two ways: Alt+normal letter or '+normal letter. While the first way is goot, the second one is bad for programmers. I often use ' in the code, so having ' as a "dead key" (this is how it is called officially) is not suitable. But I still have to type those latvian chars sometimes. Until yesterday I kept English US layout as a default and added Latvian manually when I had to type latvian letters. This is a multiple move-and-click process. Yesterday I finally found a way to automate addition and removal of the layout.

Cleaning and optimising cache tables in TYPO3
Cache tables are designed to provide a high-performance access for simultaneous reads and writes. This means that several reads at a time should be possible as well as several writes and none should block each other. This is possible when cache tables use InnoDB MySQL database engine. InnoDB provides concurrency and data safety against sudden failures. TYPO3 uses InnoDB for several critical tables, including cache tables.
Sometimes cache tables can grow a lot. The more records exist in the cache table, the slower it is to find a necessary record there. TYPO3 provides a special scheduler task to clean up old cache records. If you have TYPO3 4.6 or newer, you should always use that task.
However, there is a certain fact that very few users know: running the task will remove entries from the table but it will not recover the disk space taken by removed records. InnoDB does not reuse the space when records are deleted. It always appends new data to the end of the allocated data file. Thus it is possible to have a fully empty InnoDB table, which takes 100GB on the disk.

Plenty to do... time to get cracking!/
The Lofoten winter fisheries are just ended, and the cod is now drying on the hjell and hesje (racks). The smell? Well, as they say, it smells of money!
I am preparing for a busy sewing season. I have two major medieval events this year: DoubleWars in Southern Sweden in May, and mother-of-all-wars Pennsic XLIV in Pennsylvania, USA in July/August. Sure, I'll be watching some of the battles, but this medievalist loves the classes and window shopping that comes with collecting a hoard of our ilk for a week or so of fun!
I plan to work on serviceable clothes that finally move me forward into the 13th-early 14th centuries. This will be a learning process where I'll finally put away commercial patterns and start working from draped body blocks. What's a body block, you say? Look at the tutorials on the By My Measure blog and pursue the many excellent links. I also want to work from the skin out and pursue various options for the underpinnings and see what testing these out in the Northern Norwegian climate teaches me. So the stash has been raided and a rainbow has been brought forth. Now on to the hard decisions.... exactly what to make?!?!!

The construction of a free-standing emergency room in northern St. Johns County - the first in the area and one of just seven in the state - is to begin in a week or two, according to an area hospital and developer.
Jacksonville-based Memorial Hospital is to operate an 11,000-square-foot facility on Race Track Road, Memorial spokesman Adam Landau said. The facility will create 40 jobs for physicians, nurses, radiology technicians, laboratory technicians, pharmacists and other support staff, he said.
The ER is to be part of a much larger complex called the Julington Creek Medical Arts Complex. When it's done, it will be the only free-standing ER in the area. There are six others in the state: Ocala, Destin, Port St. Lucie, Largo, Aventura and North Port, according to the Agency for Health Care Administration website.
Landau said the hospital hopes to target patients in the northern St. Johns County and southern Duval County.
"We've been looking at this area for a while," he said. "We did a study and it came back that this was a growing area and an area that could use a freestanding ER."
County Economic Development Director Melissa Glasgow said county staff are "thrilled."
"There has been a long-standing need for emergency care in the county's northwest sector, and this project will act as a stimulus to attract new higher-wage, medical-related jobs and capital investment to the county," Glasgow said.
A spokesman for the developer, Axcel Development Group, said the project would begin shortly.
"It's like a little mini hospital, where they take care of and stabilize" patients and then move them to the hospital, Axcel Managing Partner Mark Gerenger said.
He said the ER construction would cost between $5 million and $6 million. He said HCA, which owns Memorial Hospital, is to lease the space from the developer.

Kate Gosselin Disses Ex Jon Over Divorce: I Thought He'd Be Here For The Long Haul
Yikes! It's been nearly seven years since Kate and Jon Gosselin finalized their divorce, but Kate still has some choice words to share about her ex. The reality star totally dissed her ex-husband in her recent cover story!
In celebration of Jon & Kate Plus 8's ten-year anniversary, Kate Gosselin, 41, covered the Sept. issue of People magazine and spilled all of the tea about her family and her former life with Jon Gosselin, who's the father of their eight children. Initially, Kate admitted that she thought they would have forever together, but Jon's transformation during the time of her pregnancy and afterwards totally jerked her back to reality. "I really would have thought he'd have been here for the long haul," Kate told PEOPLE. "The weirdest thing is that overnight he became a different person."
Kate Gosselin: See The Reality Star's Lowest Moments Here
Kate also said that Jon was going out and buying motorcycles and other materialistic possessions on top of having eight young children to care for. And that was the final straw for Kate; the couple finalized their divorce in Dec. 2009. While this may sound really harsh to reveal about the father of her kids, Kate explained that she shared her terror with the rest of the world when the reality show aired on Discovery in Apr. 2006. "People closest to me thought I was crazy and making it up," Kate says now. "When they saw it for themselves, they were like, 'Whoa.' They saw the proof – and then I saw all the letters from women saying, 'I've been there, too.'"

A post shared by Kate Gosselin (@kateplusmy8) on
But if someone had told her she was going to be a single mom with twins and a set of sextuplets, the former Dancing with the Stars contestant says she wouldn't have believed it one bit! "I wouldn't have said you're crazy," Kate said. "I knew the divorce rate for parents of multiples, especially higher-order multiples, is so high. I'd done the math."
And she's isn't alone in her pain of a failed marriage. The reality star also revealed that her eldest twins, Mady, 16, and Cara, 16, haven't even spoken to their dad in years. The twins have also come forward, saying their relationship with their dad is "toxic" and unwanted. SO sad! And while she continues to worry that her kids will develop other challenges because of her traumatic divorce, she maintains the belief that she just has to go through life without regrets. We are all for that mantra!
HollywoodLifers, what did you think of Kate's cover story?

I am so excited to bring this recipe to you all and share one of the best flavor profiles I have ever tasted. I have been waiting all summer long to get back into my favorite place on the Outer Cape, 141 Bradford. Conveniently, the name is also the location; 141 Bradford St in Provincetown.
In the summer here, because of lack of parking, it's nearly impossible to stop in so I passed by with a grumbling belly more often than not. Since the summer has ended, and Autumn has started to settle in, I've been in to 141 Bradford multiple times and things are right with the world again.
I've been on a soup kick lately and dropped in for a bowl a couple of days ago. They had three soups on for the day. Two of them were veg and to be honest, besides the African Peanut Stew (which is what I got), I can't remember what the other two were. All I know is I wished I had bought a second bowl.
I finished my bowl Truro on the way toward Wellfleet for a trouble call. While taking care of the customer and fixing their issue all I could think about was the stew and how could I get more. I could ask for the recipe! Ya! Oh and the wheels began turning. Maybe I can get the recipe and share it here with you, because, you have to try this!! So I messaged them on Instagram and they agreed! YAY!
Since 141 makes their products in larger quantities, I took liberty to break this down to a 1/3 of the recipe. The measurement for 1/3 is in the parenthesis and the original is left there if you want to make a bunch of it and freeze it.
Without further ado, here is the recipe.
African Peanut Stew
(vegan, gluten-free, soy free)
¼ cup olive oil (2 tbsp)
3 Tbs chopped garlic (1 tbsp)
3 Tbs chopped ginger (1 tbsp)
2 Qt cubed sweet potato (2 1/2 cups)
2 Qt chopped yellow onion (1 cups)
2 Tbs cumin (1/2 tsp)
2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (1/2 tsp)
3 cans tomato paste (1 can)
1 ½ jars smooth peanut butter (1/2 jar)
2 cups roasted peanuts (3/4 cup)
½ bunch chopped cilantro (1/4 cup)
4 bunches sliced kale (1 bunch kale)
3 Qt canned chickpeas (1 can)
8 Qt vegetable stock (2 qt)
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil in a large pot, sauté the garlic and ginger until slightly browned. Turn heat off add in onions, tomato paste and seasonings stir well. Add in the veg stock. Add all the other ingredients and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 30 minutes.

As corruption cases close in, Netanyahu will move further right to survive
Netanyahu is already painting the police recommendation to indict him as a political witch hunt. That will have significant consequences on how the attorney general proceeds, and what Israel's second-longest serving prime minister does to survive. The Israeli police on Tuesday recommended indicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in two corruption cases, referred to as Case 1000 and Case 2000. In Case 1000, Netanyahu is suspected of trying to advance the interests of Israeli tycoon Arnon Milchen in exchange for lavish gifts he and his wife demanded; in Case 2000, Netanyahu was recorded plotting to pursue regulatory changes that would have…Read More... | 1 Comment

In a bid to get away from acrimony and back to business, the Point Roberts Hospital District board did not take public comment at its last meeting.
"This is not our normal practice," superintendent Elaine Komusi told the audience at their May 3 meeting. "Our normal practice is to allow five minutes per guest, but we will not be allowing this tonight in favor of getting business done." Fire district commissioner Shannon Tomsen, who has had a series of run-ins over recent months with the hospital district, was present filming the meeting.
Instead of taking questions from the audience, Komusi said, she wanted to take the time to answer questions "floating around out there" in the community at large.
Komusi gave an overview of the relationship between the district and Unity Care Northwest, the nonprofit federally qualified health center that operates the Point Roberts Clinic. "After the establishment of the hospital district, we signed a service agreement with Interfaith in 2009," she said, which later became Unity Care NW.
"Unity Care runs all aspects of the day-to-day operations for the clinic including all procedures and processes to run a medical practice," Komusi said. This includes accounts payable for all operating expenses from payroll to medical supplies, pharmacy costs, software and professional licensing, malpractice insurance and all other costs.
"They pay those bills and those bills are in turn charged back to us," she said. "The costs are between $30,000 and $32,000 per month." This includes the salaries of nurse practitioner Natalié Davidson, two nurses and a receptionist.
The district pays Unity Care NW overhead costs to run the clinic of approximately $6,500 per month. Unity Care NW also handles billing and accounts receivable. "It is common that in organizations that have a centralized head office where support services are provided to its branches there is a fee charged to those branches," Komusi said. These services include information technology, a 24-hour nursing support hotline, referral, billing and payroll services and procurement.
"In comparison of over 25 community health care centers in Washington state, Unity Care has the lowest overhead costs as a percentage of program service costs of similar health centers," she said. "Some health care centers are as high as 46.6 percent, the median is 32 and Unity Care is charging its sites 26.7 percent."
The total cost per month to run the clinic is approximately $38,000, which is covered from patient billing and tax revenue. Currently, the hospital collects $43.96 per year for $100,000 in assessed property valuation. "On my taxes I paid $86.36 to the hospital for an entire year," Komusi said. "That's $7 a month!"
As Unity Care NW has grown, she added, the clinic has been able to accept more insurance plans and is able to quickly refer patients to a wider variety of specialists. In addition, if local clinic staff is not available for work, qualified replacement personnel are available through Unity Care NW's over 200 employees at its branches in Ferndale and Bellingham.
"We are proud of our partnership with Unity Care," Komusi said. "Certainly broader services are a sign of that partnership. Between the dental treatment buses, retinal eye exams, health fairs and soon an expansion to behavioral health, I think this demonstrates our commitment to meeting more of the community needs."
Komusi said she encouraged community members to email any questions to her at firstname.lastname@example.com so that the district would be prepared with answers when they resume their regular public comment period at their June 7 meeting.

This week on Mission Implausible: China plans to erect the world's tallest building and tackle smog in one fell swoop with the proposed "Phoenix Towers" in Wuhan, which will reportedly eclipse Burj Khlifa's grandeur by 150 meters, and help Wuhan 'rise from the ashes' of pollution by doubling as giant pink air purifiers, among other things.
On paper, the UK architecture firm Chetwoods, has proposed something equally as remarkable to the phoenix itself. The structure is proposed to stand a huge 3,281 ft tall, the equivalent of 150 double decker buses piled on top of each other, but it promises something even bigger than that. It will hold various complex environmental functions that will attempt to "simultaneously filter Wuhan's air and water, collect solar, wind, and hydrogen power, provide produce from a massive vertical garden, harvest rainwater, house restaurants and businesses, boil biomass, and generally aim to solve every major ecological crisis faced by central China's "Fourth Pole," according to Business Insider. As well as probably try to take over the world from the sound of things.
However, perhaps there is hope that this crazy creation can live up to expectations. At least, it has to be better than the smog busting drones or huge public vacuum cleaner ideas that have come before?
The firm wanted to come up with something that incorporated environmental functions in a big way, while at the same time, act as the centerpiece for the three kilometre long avenue. "In China if you come up with a slightly mad idea, its almost not mad enough," said studio founder, Laurie Chetwood.
According to Chetwood, although this is a "blatantly iconic" structure, the idea is that "it doesn't just stand there and become an iconic symbol of Wuhan, it has to do a job. We've applied as many environmental ideas as we possibly could to justify the shape and the size of them."
The design of the Phoenic Towers links Western technology and architecture by relating to Chinese religion and philosophy through the legend of the phoenix. Even if they do look like icicles that were fellated by the Pink Panther. Business insider explains:
The towers link Western technology and architecture to the Chinese myths of the phoenix; two towers represent the dual gender the legendary bird has in Chinese iconography, and the spirit of rebirth is spread throughout all eight hectares of the the half-mile high towers.
The design is also supposed to address negative criticisms the West has received in the past for lack of sensitivity when creating architecture in China as its developments are often considered to lack local context and meaning. I doubt Chetwood will disappoint here though, as not only has she captured the spiritual but also the commercial. And we all know how much China loves to snag an extra mao. Even when saving the world.
Construction on the Phoenix Towers is slated to begin next year, but it'll reportedly be another three years before these fire birds fully rise from the ashes.

text: Unfortunately I wasn't able to accomplish the goal of completing this amplifier in the time I had alotted. My plan was to build it up and take some THD measurements and show how to bias this (The F5 Class-A) amplifier designed by Nelson Pass. I ordered some sketchy JFETs from fleaBay and yup, sure enough they were fake, couldn't bias a damn thing. So I'll have to make a follow up video once I get the real JFETs in. Sorry folks, but at least it should be an interesting build!

4 Spots to Fish for Bargain Aquariums
Buying an affordable aquarium can be a fun and exciting endeavor. Whether you set up a basic starter kit or go all out with plenty of embellishments, you can find a way to create an aquatic masterpiece on a budget.
Wait for Sales
Most pet stores have periodic sales and promotions, and waiting for those to come around can save you a lot of money. Some stores offer starter kits at a discount if this is your first tank. The included decorations and plants in these kits may be lower quality, but you can upgrade as you learn more. However, make sure you are actually saving money with these sales. Many pet stores have significantly higher prices than you can find elsewhere, so even their sale prices may be more expensive.
Shop Online
Online stores often have significantly lower overhead, so you can find much better deals. Some of these stores are specialty outlets with their own websites, while others use auction sites, such as eBay. Check reviews or seller feedback before spending a significant amount of money. Factor in shipping expenses when comparing prices because these can add a significant amount to the total cost.
Join an Aquarium Club
Buying used aquariums can save you a lot of money, and one of the best places to find good used tanks is through an aquarium club. These groups are usually a collection of serious hobbyists, and many of them regularly change and upgrade their tanks. Most welcome beginners and are happy to share knowledge. They can also direct you to people selling off unneeded equipment for a decent price. This is usually a safe way to buy used tanks, because the members of these clubs are invested in maintaining a good reputation.
Check the Classifieds
You may be able to find hidden gems in your local newspaper classifieds or on advertising sites such as Craigslist. These aquariums are often tanks that have been sitting in a garage or storage unit for years. Sometimes people are moving and need to sell a full setup quickly.
However, this method does have a few drawbacks. You may need to spend more time hunting through sale ads until you find a promising listing. It is also somewhat riskier, and you should check out the tank thoroughly before buying it. Tanks that are running are generally safer, or you may be able to fill smaller tanks on the premises to check for leaks. Look for chipping or hard water stains on the edges and corners of empty tanks.
Setting up a new aquarium is an exciting process, but it can come with steep costs. A basic freshwater setup can start at $200, and special additions or saltwater tanks can cost considerably more. However, savvy shoppers often find good deals to help keep the costs down. If you are in the market for a new aquarium, check out the following sources.

Will Naomi Watts' 'Diana' Biopic Be a Oscar-Bait Or a Fluffy Romance?
In 2013, it seems the royal family is as in as a whole box of cronuts. Just two weeks after Kate Middleton and Prince William welcomed royal baby Prince George, Diana has released its first full-length trailer starring Naomi Watts as the titular princess who captured hearts until her death in 1997.
But lest you believe we're in for a royal political drama on the level of The Queen — which won Helen Mirren an Oscar in 2007 — it seems Diana is shunning politics for the more tabloid-friendly part of the Princess of Wales' life: her romantic interests.
Diana's trailer, which fails to even produce one image of anyone in the royal family besides the princess herself, hones in on the relationship between Diana and Dr. Hasnat Khan, played by Lost star Naveen Andrews in the biopic. The spot shows the beginnings of their courtship, his struggles with romancing a member of the royal family, and the meeting between her and Dodi Fayed (Cas Anvar) that eventually led to her death.
Surely, there's no coincidence the trailer's music reminds one of Downton Abbey's sprawling score — rich British people involved in love triangles are so very in right no in pop culture. But it does tend to invite levity to a story that is, in its core, so very dark, making you wonder if this is the Oscar bait that it appeared to be.
Below, see the spot for the film (and, yes, marvel at Watts' wardrobe), which has yet to secure a U.S. release date.

With over 10,000 visitors, it has to be said that this year's Automechanika Birmingham was a success.
The event featured 500 exhibitors from 26 countries covering a floor space of 9,400 square metres. More than 120 companies exhibited at Automechanika Birmingham for the first time including: AA Garage Guide, Snap-On, Ceramex, GSF Car Parts and Wurth Electronics.
Immediate post-event feedback highlighted a "quality" visitor in attendance and this, coupled with an increased ratio of visitors to exhibitors, meant the event delivered an excellent opportunity for the automotive industry to come together, network and do business.
The Auto Repair Focus team was hard at work, meeting a number of exhibitors from well-established companies to new players in the aftermarket, finding out what was on offer and what the future holds for themselves and the industry in general.
Simon Albert, Managing Director, Automechanika Birmingham, said: "It's been a fantastic event and has further developed the identity of Automechanika Birmingham going forward, underlining our commitment to unite the entire automotive industry. We are delighted with the quality and quantity of senior professionals who attended, as well as the number of independent garages that visited the hugely popular Garage Quarter."

Those very wise words…
Day 2 filming started off well. We managed to use our room that we had scouted at uni (an old court room) to start our second day. After much adaptation of lights and backgrounds we were happy to start filming. Until after 2 seconds of rolling there was noise outside the door! A lecture was about to start.
In no time at all we managed to vacate the room including both cameras (fully set up on tripods) all sound equipment (including 2 gun mics) lights, people and ALLLL the boxes and bags we had on top of that. Despite the hardship of having to leave, I did feel slightly amused as the door we left from was opposite the door everybody else was comng in. I felt as though I was in my very own reality comedy :3
We proceeded to our second location and again everything was going well, we were outside and the sun was shining. But then…? The mics stopped working! Luckily it was only our radio mics that were the problem and we managed to switch to gun mics. Although this resulted in our unfortunate sound assisstant volunteer lying at the feet of our presenter.
Nevertheless the rest of the day continued without a glitch and we finished just as the sun was starting to set leaving a wintery evening feeling. Home to pancakes!!

It is never easy to buy a new vehicle, especially when the models available to us are all new or virtually new. This is the case for the growing subcompact SUV segment. This niche is not necessarily new, but in recent years manufacturers have really started to grow it with an array of new models like the 2017 Nissan Qashqai and the Mazda CX-3.
These are two sport utility vehicles coming from renowned brands that have the characteristic of offering a comfortable ride, a versatile cockpit, impressive fuel economy ratings and an enticing starting price. These models allow you to take advantage of all the benefits of an SUV, but are also easier to park and a lot more fuel-efficient. That said, how do you choose between these two models and above all, how do you make sure that your new SUV will be able to meet all of your needs?
This small comparison between the 2017 Nissan Qashqai and the Mazda CX-3 is designed to help you answer this question. To do this, we take a look at two very important criteria for consumers, price and interior space.
The 2017 Nissan Qashqai is more affordable than the Mazda CX-3
Let's start with the price. Available starting at $ 19,998, the 2017 Nissan Qashqai is the most affordable subcompact SUV in its segment. In comparison, the Mazda CX-3 is available starting at $ 20,695. At this price, both models offer substantially the same level of equipment that includes the rearview camera, but the Qashqai offers standard heated seats. To get these in the Mazda CX-3, you have to opt for the GS model offered starting at $ 22,695.
If you want the sunroof you have to opt for the Mazda CX-3 GS and add the Luxury group that tacks on an additional $ 1,500 to the final price for a total of $ 24,195. The Nissan Qashqai SV is available starting at $ 24,598, which is a little more expensive, but in return it also adds the heated steering wheel and dual-zone air conditioning.
Finally, the high-end version of the Nissan Qashqai, the SL model, is offered at the same price as the high-end GT model in the Mazda CX-3 lineup. The Qashqai offers real leather seats and 19-inch wheels, while the CX-3 features 18-inch wheels and a leather/suede finish for the seats.
More space in the 2017 Nissan Qashqai compared to the Mazda CX-3
In addition to being more affordable, the 2017 Nissan Qashqai stands out against the Mazda CX-3 with its larger cockpit. Indeed, the Qashqai offers 648 liters of cargo space compared to only 452 liters for the CX-3. While the latter may offer the smallest trunk in the segment, the Qashqai offers one of the largest cargo spaces of any subcompact SUV.

Full Circle: One Man's Journey by Air, Train, Boat and Occasionally Very Sore Feet Around the 20.000 Miles of the Pacific Rim
Michael Palin
Language: English
Pages: 320
Format: PDF / Kindle (mobi) / ePub
Volcanoes mark Palin's journey like stepping stones. He climbs one which has freshly erupted and is still smoking. He is forced to negotiate mountains and plunging gorges, cross glaciers and dodge icebergs. He follows great rivers like the Yangtze and the Amazon to some of the most remote places on earth, and he confronts the notorious Cape Horn and the windswept beaches of western Alaska.
The people Palin meets provide a constant supply of surprises, pleasures and lessons in life. He visits a Gulag camp in Siberia with one of its few remaining survivors, talks to head-hunters in Borneo, eats maggots in Mexico and rustles camels in the deserts of Australia. He's stood up on a date in Adelaide, taken short on the banks of the Amazon, allowed to land a plane at Seattle and sing with the Pacific Fleet choir in Vladivostok.
Full Circle is the record of a journey of several lifetimes and of the often colourful, sometimes disgusting, frequently hair-raising, once or twice hysterical but almost always beautiful world that stretches around the Pacific Ocean.

The colonists found that anything would grow here. The only trouble was that, as so many Indians had died either in fighting or from diseases like smallpox introduced from Europe, they did not have enough labour. So thousands of slaves duly arrived on the Spanish Main, carried from Africa in boats owned largely by Englishmen. With the

I'm currently watching the TV show "House of Cards." In the episode I'm watching now, the main character, congressman Francis Underwood, goes back to his hometown Charleston, South Carolina, for a gathering of alumni. In a drunken, nostalgic tone, he asked his old friend "Do you think this place made us? When I walked on campus today, I wondered, did it mean anything, it was just a place we spent 4 years of our lives, nothing more."
But was it?
Some of us changed addresses all the time, and some of us moved from our home town to University – and maybe a new city for work once we were finished. Most likely, we've all had the thought of whether those years spent in one place have affected the way we are today. The way we are today, is probably very different from when we were in our early twenties, or pre-teen years, or puberty, for that matter.
We're grown people now, with our own set of friends, with our jobs and our hobbies – but when we see people from our past, it's like a moment hasn't gone by since the last time we met. Our conversations flow just the same, conversations feeding our souls just the same, regardless of the fact that we can drink more wine than we could at that point when we first met (or whiskey, in Francis's case).
My point is that every single experience makes us who we are. Those 4 years Francis spent at college not only introduced him to the people he knows now, and keeps in touch with once in … never. His 4 years at college in South Carolina shaped his views and taught him how to look at the world and the people in it.
I reminisce often about my year in Italy. We spent countless nights "at the gate," a secluded place no teacher knew we would visit. We had secret bars the teachers didn't know the bartenders at and we took weekend trips, trips that would go down in history if we ever retold them.
That was one year, three less than Francis, yet still the year of firsts, the year of my first sip of coffee and the year of friendships it would generally take at least 10 years to build had we all been at home.
Those people are still in my Skype contacts, they're on my Facebook and occasionally we do visit one another. However, they're not a part of my life today.
Or are they?

What comes to mind when you hear the words, "second harvest?"
A second crop that comes to maturity directly on the heels of a previous one? People picking leftover crops still in the fields after mechanical harvesting?
Either way you'd be correct but, there is a third definition for Second Harvest, one that does not get the acknowledgement it so richly deserves.
Second Harvest also means the practice of distributing "soon to outdate" foods directly to local food pantries.
All of us older than, say 35, remember the terrific Hanna Barbera cartoon, "The Jetsons," which told the story of a family of futuristic space dwellers who pushed buttons to get what they wanted and zoomed around in awesome-looking spaceships to get everywhere.
The Jetsons also had a robot maid to take care of house cleaning, although it didn't require a whole lot of work.
To the editor: Regarding the subject article in the Nov. 20 issue of the Beacon, I believe there may be an appropriate time to consider easing the 40-foot height restriction for building at Sunset Beach.
We should all hope such consideration wouldn't occur before the year 3008. We trust the people responsible won't forget the things that make Sunset Beach so special.
To the editor: Clyde McCrackin survived the attack on the Yorktown during the battle of Midway in 1942. More than 2,400 of the 2,800 crewmen were rescued from the ship before it sank June 7, 1942.
The Yorktown survivors were brought back to Pearl Harbor in secret and taken to a camp at the end of the island where they stayed for four months. They did not want anyone to know the ship had sunk.
McCrackin was a farmer in Brunswick County for more than 45 years. He will celebrate his 90th birthday on Nov. 29 at his home on Ash-Little River Road.
To the editor: On Nov. 18 at 3:42 p.m., I received a call from someone claiming to be with a police protection agency. They were trying to get me to send them money to help "enrolled police officers."
We do not talk to people about donations of any kind over the telephone and told them to
send literature by mail and we would check it out and decide whether to send money or
not. They hung up immediately.
Staring at the remnants of once carefully wrapped gift boxes, my mother did her best to stay caught up in the excitement of Christmas morning.
She affectionately watched as my fingers tore through paper, tape and box corners, nodding at me as I smiled when I pulled out the gifts inside.
To the editor:
Last week, a majority of citizens in Florida and California rightfully voted they had had enough of the threat of gay marriage and voted to amend their state constitutions to make the practice of men marrying men and women marrying women unconstitutional.
They are outraged their wishes are not universally accepted and wanted, so they are now on a rampage to force their style down our throats. They are outraged the people of these states are not progressive enough and have voted only to allow sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman.
To the editor: Were I a political cartoonist I would ink a vision of president-elect Barack Obama's promised "change" thusly: A dark and dreary wintry setting reveals Obama, shovel in hand, standing astride opened graves in the Bill Clinton Memorial Cemetery.
The following names would appear etched on the headstones over several opened graves: Rahm Emanuel, Madeline Albright, Robert Reich, Greg Craig, Ron Klain, and Mona Sutphen.
A caption on the cartoon would read: "I thought you stiffs would enjoy a 'change'."
To the editor: Did anyone else notice that only six out of 17 of our county's schools passed the adequate yearly progress for last school year as this newspaper reported? Yet, Superintendent Katie McGee got a satisfactory performance rating and a nice increase in salary.
To go with that, she also was awarded a Regional Superintendent's Award. Tell me how. Her school system had some of the lowest end-of-grade test scores in the state.
To the editor: John Heidtke's column in the Nov. 13 edition of The Brunswick Beacon confuses me. I am not sure whether he is saying people who wear zoot suits or sagging trousers deserve to be the object of civil unrest or whether he intends to make some other point.
My first reaction was revulsion at what appeared to be racist statements, but perhaps the column would have benefited by more editing. I do not understand the point of the column and would appreciate further comment from Mr. Heidtke.
How well we are able to see and read makes a huge difference in how we relate to our world.
For those in trouble, here is hope.
An amazing witness
During 1980, I was assigned to the St. Louis Missouri Division of the FBI.
A disgruntled mechanic, recently fired from his General Services Administration job, drove into the basement garage of our federal building and exited his car with a loaded shotgun.
To the editor: On behalf of the Friends of the Leland Library, I would like to thank The Brunswick Beacon for helping publicize our most successful book sale ever.
Other organizations helped with contributions including Carrabba's Restaurant, Bath and Body Works, Leland Food Lion and the Leland Copy Center.
We could not have done it without the members of the Friends who worked so hard preparing for the sale, during the sale and packing up after the event.
A special thanks to all those who bought books and contributed to this important fundraising event.
To the editor: I had a yard sale on Saturday, Nov. 15, on Oakbark Court in Carolina Shores.
My son, age 11, was helping to escort shoppers and carry things to cars. He then changed clothes into a uniform for his final tournament football game.
Before leaving, he went to retrieve his things only to discover someone had stolen his Sony PSP and cell phone. These were not sale items and were clearly set far apart from those that were.
To the editor: For the past four years, I have been interacting with the administrators and faculty at Jesse Mae Monroe Elementary in my capacity as chairman of the Nocha White American Legion Post 503 Auxiliary Americanism committee.
What an uplifting experience for my committee members and myself. We were welcomed with open arms when we described the patriotic programs we would like to bring to the students.
Most recently, we were invited to have a Veterans Day program in an assembly setting at the school.
To the editor: This Republican supports Barack Obama.
The campaigning, voting and final counting is over and our new president-elect is Barack Obama. As a Republican, I recognize he will be our president, my president and every American's president.
In this I will support him; however, my support has boundaries and will come in the same form as that provided by Democrats to George W. Bush during his presidency; no less, no more.
The one thing I will not and cannot provide Mr. Obama that was generously extended to George W. Bush is hate.
To the editor: How did Obama win the election? Here is the way I see it. First, President Bush's rating with the people was so low until he almost destroyed the Republican Party.
Next, he invaded Iraq and Afghanistan by telling the people things that turned out to be false, killing more than 200,000 people and an unknown number of our troops. Finally, going to war with two countries that had never bothered us that had nothing to do with the attack on 9/11.
To the editor: In a training program at 9 a.m. Friday, Nov. 14, a HAZMAT team was dispatched to a facility near Southport after some people were stopped with suspicious materials the FBI felt might include nerve agents.
Eight sealed bottles attached to a timing device were located, along with various containers with hazardous materials and guns. HAZMAT determined there were three highly lethal agents, including cyanide.
My daughter, Erica and two other people were involved in a serious car accident in front of Brunswick Community Hospital on Aug. 15. One of her passengers was a 17-month-old baby.
I want to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to everyone who helped and was involved in their rescue.
Many thanks to all the people associated with Brunswick Community Hospital who immediately came out to help. I believe all involved are healing much better because of their efforts.
To the editor: Thank you Mr. Jesse A. Bryant for your kind words in your letter to the editor in the Beacon during our time of grief for the loss of our father, the Rev. Norman Bellamy.
He touched the lives of many people during his 90 years here on earth.
He was a carpenter. He built the house we grew up in, two more he lived in and a house for me I still live in today, all with a blueprint only in his mind. He sawed boards, nailed nails, laid brick and tacked shingles.
He helped build schools and churches along with his father, R. E. Bellamy Sr. He built
I'm not exactly a germaphobe—or at least I wasn't until last week.
That's when the "Today Show" came out with an appetizing breakfast-time report about our nasty vacuum cleaners.

Internal Medicine housestaff training at The University of Arizona originated in 1972. We consider the training experience to be highly competitive and successful. Residents learn the fundamentals of inpatient medicine while caring for patients on the general medical wards and in state-of-the-art intensive care and cardiac care units. The experience is broadened by ample exposure to ambulatory medicine. We also have one of the highest board pass rates in Arizona.
Our program saw a major change in 2003-2004 with the merging of University of Arizona Internal Medicine Residency Program with the Tucson Hospital Medical Education Program to become the University of Arizona-Tucson Hospitals Internal Medicine Residency Program. This welcome merger carries the addition of an increased number of housestaff as well more variety in inpatient and outpatient experiences, as well as the addition of many dedicated faculty. Residents are now able to care for patients in a variety of settings: a University hospital, VA, and community hospital.
Residents are expected to focus on three major goals which include education, clinical excellence and research. Research opportunities are plentiful and encouraged. Our intent is to provide the necessary background for the successful practice of medicine and to allow growth and interest in research at an early stage in training. To accomplish this, three major teaching facilities are utilized: Banner University Medical Center-Tucson, the Southern Arizona VA Healthcare System, and Tucson Medical Center. In addition, outpatient continuity clinic experiences are available at Banner University Medical Center-Tucson, Tucson Medical Center, and Southern Arizona VA Healthcare System.
Neither our program nor the College of Medicine sponsor observerships. Physicians in our program are affiliated with specific divisions within the Department of Medicine. Any observerships would need to be coordinated with the support of an individual Banner physician through the Banner Volunteer Office.

How to Budget for Beauty
In my recent Q&A video, one of you asked how to budget for beauty items (see my answer here). I thought I would share the specifics of how to spend and save on skincare, makeup, body, and hair products.
- Enzyme Exfoliators -- a hi-tech blend that melts away dead skin.
- Serum -- designed to sink deeply into the skin to renew and repair.
- Night Cream -- hydrates the skin overnight and keeps it from inflammation.
- Eye cream -- firming, moisturizing, and not too heavy for the delicate skin around the eyes.
- Clay -- for DIY face masks. Mix a teaspoon with raw honey or jojoba oil for a quick detox mask.
- Witch Hazel -- a gentle toner that removes dead skin and excess oils that is also safe for all skin types.
- Jojoba Oil -- nature's luxurious oil that soothes, plumps, and instantly hydrates (use it on the tips of hair too!).
- Gritty scrub -- a good old fashioned gritty scrub for those times when nothing else works.
- Epsom salts -- for a relaxing, detox bath.
- Remover wipes -- look for a brand with little to no fragrance or alcohol for quick, gentle makeup removal.
- Base colors -- concealer and foundation are hard to find in skin-like finishes with wide color ranges just anywhere. Get pro help at places like Sephora, Nordstrom, Saks, or Bergdorf Goodman to personalize your look.
- Powders -- eyeshadow, blush, bronzer, and setting powders that are finely milled and made with incredible pigments make for easy application and long-lasting finishes.
- Brow products -- gels, shadows, and pencils have better staying power, true-to-life shades, and don't go flaky.
- Brushes -- find high quality synthetic brushes from my favorite brand Real Techniques.
- Mascara -- since it needs frequent replacement and dries out quickly.
- Lip products -- because they are usually very similar formulas and finishes to most high-end lines.
- Gel eyeshadow pots -- to wear under eyeshadow as a base, or alone for a sheer wash of color, and they tend to dry out quickly so it's not worth paying too much.
- Self tanning -- trust the sunless tanners flying off shelves of the high-end stores for the most subtle, even tan.
- Fragrance -- for higher oil content and richer scents, which makes the smell linger longer.
- Dry brush -- to slough off dead skin and increase circulation, which detoxifies the body and smoothes skin at the same time.
- Tools -- nail clippers, tweezers, cotton pads, etc.
- Setting sprays -- for that supermodel hair, stick to the brands that actually do hair backstage at the runway shows.
- Hair treatments -- leave in conditioners, masks, scalp treatments, and serums are worth paying the extra buck.
- Dry shampoo -- for sheer, volumized, touseled hair that doesn't have white roots stick to the department store brands.
- Shampoo and conditioner -- because our hair can "get used to" certain formulas, it's good to change it up on a dime.
- Gel -- for sleek looks, drugstore gel is where it's at.
- Accessories -- elastics, bobby pins, clips are so easy to lose and cheap to replace.
