Cool cheers. I was asking cuz my 360 only has a 20gb hard drive and i've way more demos and videos downloaded onto it and it still has space. Thats why I thought something was wrong. Ill check wat happens when I delete game data but ill prob get a hard drive. Is it any old hard drive and then you jst plug it into the ps3 the same way you would plug one into a comp? Reply 0
On a slightly separate note... I started using my ps3 again last night..hadn't used it in a few months and when i went to download trailers and also resi 5 it said I didnt have enough space. I've barely used the ps3 ...the only things i've downloaded are a few game trailers and a few demos. How can it be full?? Its the 40gb version. Could it be my saved game data? Either way 40gb shouldn't fill up that quickly with just a few things.
Can anyone help me out here...sorry for posting off topic. Reply 0

Nearly 800k PS3s sold in Europe, says Stringer
Do u know wat would be really cool...... if eurogamer had a number counter for the ps3, 360 and wii which increased daily or weekly based on how many of each console were sold! It wud shut a lot of ppl up bout which is better. Personally, i think they're all good in their own way. Each have exclusive games that are savage eg. Gears for the 360, mgs4 for the ps3 or mario/zelda for the wii and lets face it...its all about the games. I think its really good that theres loads of competition cuz at the end of the day, better games will come out of it as each console will be striving to beat the other and will be striving to break new boundaries etc. Its great that theres so much choice out there for the consumer. lets just hope the games come out a bit quicker!

Climax worried about PSP
I think its a pity about the PSP. It really is an amazing device for the size of it. I know its bigger than the DS and some ppl say its too big to carry around but IF ONLY DEVELOPERS COULD MAKE SOME REALLY SAVAGE GAMES FOR IT!!! Nearly every game seems to be half arsed. Metal Gear Solid wasnt even a proper game...it was cards for gods sake!!!! Maybe if games like Final Fantasy or a good Resident Evil or something like that came out for it, ppl would be happy.
It seems like such a shame that such a good device with loads of features(even though you'll prob never store photos on it at all!) isnt brought to its potential. I got GTA Liberty City Stories for it and I must say even though the graphics arent as good as a PS2, they're still savage which proves the power it has and the need for developers to make games for it.
Does anyone agree???
Also, when is Microsoft's portable device coming out and is it supposed to be any good??? Reply 0

CASCO SPEEDairo TC PLUS helmet 59-63
Aerodynamics, ventilation and a mirrored visor – every detail of the SPEEDairo TC PLUS helmet by CASCO is designed for performance and speed. This cycle helmet is the perfect choice for time triallists and all those who wish to become one.
• Road bike helmet with MONOCOQUE ULTRA multi-layer construction
• Removable, mirrored SPEEDmask CARBONIC visor can be lifted and is suitable for wearing sports glasses underneath
• DISCFIT VARIO adjustment system
• CASCO-LOC closure system
• AIRFIT technology for optimized aerodynamics and even better ventilation
• Closed helmet sides for unhindered airflow
• Large vents with anti-insect mesh
• Coloured CASCO MYSTYLE stripes for replacement (item no. 2086253); 360 degree visibility thanks to reflective stripes (item no. 2086262)
• Available in two shell sizes for a perfect fit
• Certified according to EN 1078 standard
• Including all-weather cover and multi-functional scarf
• It is also possible to retrofit a self-tinting SPEEDmask VAUTRON visor (item 2140825) or additional mirrored SPEEDmask CARBONIC visors (item 1988307)
The multi-layer construction of the helmet allows for an individual material composition for every helmet zone in order to provide even better protection.
This self-cleaning and hydrophobic lens technology keeps oil and water from sticking to the lens. An anti-scratch coating additionally protects the lens. Moreover, the lens has a greater impact resistance than polycarbonate and offers 100% UV protection.
The adjustment system at the back of the head can be easily adapted to your head measurements via a turn knob. It can also be shifted vertically to ensure an ergonomic fit.
The closing mechanism can be operated with one hand and thus allows for easy adjustment while riding.
An integrated mesh that is attached to the inner shell makes sure that the inner shell does not touch the scalp. This contactless fit of the helmet not only offers an outstanding fit, but also allows for a constant, cooling air stream around the head. This ensures improved thermoregulation.

1969 Volkswagen
Sometimes, you just can't go wrong with the basics. This nicely finished 1969 Volkswagen Beetle isn't wildly modified, but bright red paint definitely makes it stand out in the crowd. It also offers the charm of the early, pre-Super Beetle era, including small marker lights and a flat windshield, which are preferred by collectors.
Bright red paint looks great on the trademark Beetle curves, but to really make it shine, you need to get a straight one. Unfortunately, a lot of folks don't think VWs are worth the restoration investment, and that's why you need a good, clean original. Even though the paint is now a few years old, it's obvious that this was always a good, clean southern car and the paint has held up quite well despite this being a car that's hard to resist when the sun is shining. This unmolested Beetle fits together extremely well and the doors open and close with just a light touch. There's a single strip of bright trim running the length of the body that dresses it up, and the rest of the chrome appears to have an excellent original patina.
The interior is handsomely fitted with reproduction black seat covers on the original high-back bucket seats. Black door panels, a new set of black carpets, and a repainted dash make it feel young again, but you can't shake the wonderful vintage feeling of grabbing that big, thin-rimmed steering wheel and stubby 4-speed shifter. The simple single gauge offers speed and fuel level, but precious little else, but these cars tend to be so reliable that keeping a constant eye on them isn't really necessary. There's a JVC AM/FM/cassette unit that's probably been there for decades, and since it's a life-long warm-climate car, it has never needed a heater, which is always a source of problems anyway. Up front, the trunk has been fitted with new gray carpets, a pair of speakers, and a spare tire. Overhead, there's a recent white convertible top and matching boot, which give the Bug a jaunty, bright look.
The 1600 cc flat-four has obviously been recently reworked and drives superbly today. There's a fresh carburetor, new ignition tune-up parts, and a custom pulley on the crank. It still makes all the right sounds, and the smooth-running engine easily keeps up with modern traffic out on the road. Underneath, the chassis is reasonably clean thanks to living in a warm climate, and this is one of those rare Beetles that has not been endlessly modified over the years. Instead, it has a stock suspension, brakes that are surprisingly effective given its light weight and modest performance, and even a proper OEM-grade muffler that generates the trademark VW whistling exhaust note. Bright chrome wheels look a lot like vintage Minilites, which were popular back when this car was new, and they wear rather larger 205/60/15 front and 215/60/15 blackwalls that give it a nice ride and handling boost.
Beetles still represent a huge amount of fun for the money, and this lovely convertible is one of those simple little cars that has simply been properly maintained and cherished all its life and offers a lot of fun for the money. Call today!

"My goal is to provide client-centered, cutting-edge, cost-effective legal expertise."
— David S. Greber
Practice Focus
Mr. Greber's extensive business law experience includes representation of companies and corporations in all stages of their business life-cycle, from initial founding, through growth and expansion, to sale. His intellectual property law background includes the registration and protection of copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. Mr. Greber's estate planning experience includes drafting complex trusts and wills, powers of attorney, advanced directives, and living wills.
Following are more specific examples of the types of legal work Mr. Greber does and the kinds of clients he typically represents.
Business and Intellectual Property Law
Since the adoption of the federal "check the box" rules governing taxation of limited liability companies, most of the companies Mr. Greber has helped form have been LLCs. He has often worked with his clients and their CPAs to analyze whether the business being formed would best be taxed as a partnership, S Corporation, C Corporation, or disregarded entity. Mr. Greber has drafted numerous limited liability company operating agreements, particularly for companies taxed as partnerships, with a variety of governance, distribution, and buy-back provisions.
Mr. Greber advises clients concerning their company governance obligations under applicable statutes and ownership agreements. He has helped clients draft private placement memoranda for use in raising money by sales of securities to accredited investors under Rule 506 of federal Regulation D.
Mr. Greber has also negotiated and drafted a wide variety of corporate contracts, including distribution and research cooperation agreements between American and foreign entities, joint venture agreements, and license agreements. He has assisted clients in buying and selling businesses using both asset purchase and ownership purchase agreements.
Within his intellectual property practice focus, Mr. Greber has extensive experience in providing both transactional and litigation representation of scientists, software companies, architects, artists, home builders, and other intellectual-property-oriented businesses. He has represented software developers in licensing and sub-licensing their software and in contracting to develop or customize software, negotiated contracts for the development of bio-technology products, and helped his clients to protect their intellectual property by drafting non-disclosure and employment agreements. He has assisted clients in registering their copyright and trademark interests. Mr. Greber has also drafted website terms of use and privacy policies.
Mr. Greber's federal trademark law experience includes comprehensive trademark search analysis, responding to and overcoming Trademark Examining Attorney objections to registration, negotiating trademark coexistence agreements with potential opposers, representation before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, and filing Declarations of Use and Incontestability.
Privacy and Data Protection Law
Mr. Greber is a member of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), the largest and most comprehensive global information privacy community. The IAPP developed and launched the only globally-recognized credentialing programs in information privacy. Mr. Greber holds the CIPP/US certification (Certified Information Privacy Professional / US concentration). He advises clients on how to comply with federal and state privacy laws governing the collection, use, retention, disclosure, and destruction of personal information from customers.
Estate Planning
Mr. Greber's approach to estate planning is to first listen closely to his clients' hopes, dreams, and concerns, and then design an estate plan that fits their circumstances. Basically, this usually entails helping his clients to:
- Remain independent and self-sufficient while they are alive and well;
- Implement planning that assists them in the event of their mental incapacity; and
- Upon death, gives what they have, to whom they want, the way and when they want, while saving all possible attorneys' fees, court costs, and taxes.

I cannot believe I'm still on this thing though. I am both amazed and impressed. I never believed i would get even halfway. I get bored really really easily and so i can't believe i'm not bored yet. Well yeah I am, but I'm keeping on! That's pretty impressive, wouldn't you say?
Anyway this is going to be a really short post because I'm not really into all these things. Actually i'm not into them at all. The only thing i know about my zodiac sign is that i'm an Aries...and i think this is represented by a...what? ram? yeah i think. Anyway that's pretty much it. I don't follow my horoscope cos I don't believe in it. God writes my future.
And so, that's that :)
Do you believe in your horoscope?

Wheat Falls as Global Crop Seen at Record; Corn Rises; Soy Drops
Wheat futures fell for the first time this week on speculation that global production will surge to a record in the year that starts on June 1. Corn rallied and soybeans declined.
The world will harvest 701.1 million metric tons of wheat next year, the most-ever, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a report on May 10. Russian will expand output by 48 percent to 56 million tons, while Ukraine's crop surges 40 percent, USDA data show. The agency predicts the U.S. will be the biggest exporter next year, followed by Canada, Russia, Australia and Ukraine. Prices are down 9.6 percent this year.
"If you look at most of the key growing regions, we're looking at a large wheat crop worldwide," Jonathon Driedger, a senior market analyst at FarmLink Marketing Solutions, said in a telephone interview from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Wheat futures for July delivery fell 1.1 percent to $7.03 a bushel at 10:33 a.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade. Prices slipped into a bear market in January and are down 26 percent since reaching a four-year closing high on July 20.
Corn futures for July delivery rose 0.3 percent to $6.545 a bushel in Chicago. Soybean futures for delivery in July slid 0.1 percent to $14.1275 a bushel on the CBOT.

During 2001, 50,000 would-be asylum seekers
were intercepted on the French terminal of Eurotunnel in Coquelles.
They had forced their way into the terminal in repeated attempts
to board departing freight shuttles.
In the first half of the year, the disruption
to Eurotunnel's business was calamitous, resulting in prolonged
closure of the system and revenue losses in excess of £15
million. The solution was a significant strengthening of fencing
and other physical measures around the platform area, the so-called
"inner cordon", coupled with a massive reinforcement
of security guards at a total cost (to date) of some £6 million.
The problem is now controlled. Eurotunnel's
shuttle services are no longer subject to disruption and few asylum
seekers manage to penetrate as far as the platforms. But the problem
has not gone away.
There are still nightly attempts to breach our
security systems. Repairs to our external perimeter fence are
costing up to £10,000 per week. One effect of the heightened
security has been to make the stowaways more desperate and reckless.
Seven asylum seekers have died attempting to board our trains
and many more have suffered grave injuries.
The other effect, of course, is that some of
the problem has shifted to SNCF's poorly-protected freight yard
and the rail freight services operated by SNCF and EWS.
The immediate need is for massive strengthening
of the security around the Fréthun yard. Until the public
authorities in France decide who is responsible for carrying out
this work and put it into effect, the rail freight service will
continue to be a target for stowaways. But more security measures
alone will not suffice. Both governments need to take action to
complement the efforts of the transport operators.
The French authorities must provide more effective
policing in and around the rail terminals in Coquelles and Fréthun.
It is simply not acceptable that the gangs of people smugglers
who prey on the asylum seekers can break into their facilities
night after night with total impunity. All those stowaways we
apprehend are promptly released to try again.
Secondly, something must be done about the Red
Cross hostel at Sangatte, which is used by the gangs quite openly
as a logistical base for their activities. We believe that the
residents should be re-deployed to several smaller, more distant
and more suitable locations.
The French authorities are reluctant to do much
more because, in their view, the British government is doing absolutely
nothing to tackle what is, after all, a British problem. They
were unimpressed when the British government's response to the
arrival of immigrants at Dollands Moor was simply to seek to fine
SNCF (ie the French taxpayer) and EWS. What then should the British
government do?
In the first place they must begin to process
asylum claims from refugees while they are still in France. The
present policy under which they refuse totally to deal with claims
at Sangatte or Coquelles (despite the presence of UK Immigration
Officers), but give the right to stay in Britain to anyone who
successfully penetrates our defences undermines the efforts of
the operators. More to the point it gives the asylum seekers no
choice and every incentive to risk their lives as stowaways. It
also drives them into the arms of the people smugglers.
To complement this policy the Immigration Service
must send back to France immediately anyone who does succeed in
reaching Britain.
In the longer term there are other changes that
need to be made, probably at a European level. We have in mind
a revision of the Dublin Convention and a harmonised policy on
the treatment of refugees but the rail freight operators cannot
wait for that to happen. Unless the governments act positively
in the near future there will be no international rail freight
between Britain and France.

I found out early I wasn't headed for a life of larceny when, during my sole bout of childhood theft - boosting Panini football stickers from a Hull newsagents - I broke rule No 1 and confessed my sins (my mum marched me back down to the shop). When it came down to it, I didn't have the light-fingered pride of the best on-screen thieves, the jeu d'esprit that also elevates swashbucklers, motorcycle stunt-riders and, well, most of the best action heroes. Maybe in real life it's not as easy to pass off criminal acts with a devil-may-care twinkle (I was only 11), and those mythic master thieves, slipping past the Dobermans and through the laser grids on our screens, is where the criminals' stock-in-trade self-aggrandisement goes to die. But I'm more comfortable with that than with glorified hitmen and murderers.
1) Actually, forget light-fingered pride. The obliterating city-centre shootout in Michael Mann's Heat is still the best robbery-related sequence I've ever seen. I think the police may be on to them at this point.>
2) Film itself is a bit of a heist job - purloining and appropriating light and reality. Maybe it's an over-convenient theory, but I don't think it's a coincidence that 1903's The Great Train Robbery, that 10-minute blockbuster from the dawn of cinema, felt that an illicit thrill was the best way to announce the possibilities of a new medium.>
3) The eyes are fixed straight ahead, but the hands are busy. Operating with the kind of distracted expression normally employed by the heavily constipated is Martin LaSalle in Robert Bresson's Pickpocket. Johnny To's Sparrow, incidentally, is a sharp, late addition to the cutpurse catalogue.>
4) We should all be nostalgic for the time when identity theft didn't just mean setting up a fake Facebook page. It usually ended in tears, and a classic gratuitous 80s bitch-fight, like in Single White Female.>
5) Land and resource theft, a topic du jour, was of course a staple of the studio-era western. Daniel-Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood made a tardy entry in the pantheon of brazen tycoons - but gets bonus points for preposterous use of soft-drink-related metaphors.
I say "Shalom!" to the faithful who came with me on the trail of Red Sea pedestrian heritage last week. Our covenant with the Almighty is bound by these cinematic commandments:
1) Picking an emblematically Jewish clip from the work of Woody Allen is like shooting fish in a barrel with an Uzi. We'll settle for Woody and his mom, from the Oedipus Wrecks portion of New York Stories.
2) Nice tremulous, expectant acting in this love scene from Scott Tiler and a young Jennifer Connelly in Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America - where the main gangsters are, unusually, Jewish.
3) Spielberg clogged up Munich with typical idealistic preaching, but what stuck in my mind was the simpler pleasures of the scenes in which Eric Bana's assassins garnish their political chat with tables of gorgeous-looking food (0mins 21secs).
4) Metaphysical angst, luminous lensing: My Father, My Lord is, says our foreign cinema correspondent, one of the stronger Israeli offerings in recent years.
5) "That boy is not French." An unwelcome visitor has a vision that stretches horrifically beyond the classroom in Louis Malle's Au Revoir les Enfants, from 1987.

Hometown: ColumbusOrganizations & Activities: Knights of Columbus Council 3864, Central Ohio Beekeepers Association, Ohio State Beekeepers Association, Ohio Society of Traditional Archers, Employed at Ohio Health for 20 years
Why did you choose to attend Ohio Dominican University?
I chose to attend ODU because of the convenience of its location and the structure of its Adult & Continuing Education program. It is most appealing to me because I am able to attend classes on campus and have access to all of the same resources as traditional students but in a setting tailored to adults who are already in the workforce.
How do you stay involved at ODU? What organizations do you participate in? What have you gained from them?
In my cohort, I am the ombudsman for our class. Though my responsibilities consist mostly of distributing and collecting class evaluations, I was quite flattered to be selected by my fellow students.
Members of my cohort often seek me out to relay information to the class and our instructor in times of absence, and we all enjoy a fairly close relationship.
What are your plans after graduation?
After graduation, I intend to continue my career at Ohio Health. A bachelor's degree is going to open up other opportunities for me and qualify me for advancement in my career. I've thought about teaching, since I do enjoy public speaking and working with students.
What is one unique experience you've had at ODU that has helped you grow personally, professionally and/or spiritually? Why?
One unique opportunity that I have at ODU is being involved in the Adult & Continuing Education open house events, which are held for prospective students. I'm frequently asked to participate as the representative current student and like to think that I'm helpful by not only answering the questions of prospective students but also in addressing some of their fears and apprehensions about returning to school. This is a truly rewarding experience and I enjoy it very much.
Through my experience at ODU, I've developed a stronger belief in myself and my ability to return to school and succeed in my studies. I strive to help others come to the realization that a college education is attainable for anyone who has a desire to succeed.
Why are you proud to be an ODU student?
I am very proud to be an ODU student! I love our close-knit campus and our faculty and student body. There are so many opportunities to participate in activities, just like at larger universities, but you don't feel lost in a sea of students.
I also feel connected to my faith by my association with the University. There is a very spiritual feel to the campus that puts me at ease from the moment I arrive. I have no doubt that the education I'm receiving is the best for me and my future.

Alabama fans land first national championship jab in LSU's online shop *UPDATED*
UPDATE: TeamFanShop issued a statement Monday morning apologizing for accidentally using Alabama images instead of LSU images on the LSU shopping website. It was an honest, albeit untimely, mistake by the website provider. It's too bad, this would have been a nice little prank from Alabama supporters.
** Original post **
The BCS national championship isn't until Jan. 9, but the games between the supporters of rivals LSU and Alabama have already begun.
Late Sunday evening, about five hours after the national championship pairing was officially announced, someone hacked into the LSU fan shop website and replaced all of the LSU clothing options with Alabama clothing. Though Doc is also hearing grumblings that this was an honest mistake from the company that runs the site.
In either case, ah, SEC rivalries.
Earlier this year, a purple cape was draped across the statue of Alabama coach Nick Saban outside Bryant-Denny Stadium in the weeks leading up to the first showdown between these two teams, a game LSU won 9-6 in overtime. There were no LSU markings on the cape, so it's unclear whether it was an actual LSU prank or just a terrible fashion statement.
The website hacking is probably just the beginning of what will be a very long month of these two passionate fan bases tormenting each other until everything can be (temporarily) settled on the field.

Malika-e-Kohsar Murree
Tuesday, July 8, 2014
Experience to hill station Murree can be a mixed bag. It is popularfor cold pine forests, amidst magnificent mountain scenery that makeit a first choice for a day's outing or serious hill walking. It iscommon with locals throughout the country as well as foreigners innearby Islamabad on the run from the sweltering heat of plains insummer. And in summers it is crowded like a cinema hall some time.This archetypal hill station is famous for other things too: It is a convenient political pawn to keep the loyal and or hideout for foreigndignitaries on their way to secret strategic missions elsewhere.
In the Himalayan foothills Murree -- known as Malika-e-Kohsar meaning the queen of hills -- was founded as a hill station by the British in1851. Like other cities set up by the British, the town has the Mall for promenading, parks, churches, schools, clubs and plenty of othercrumbling colonial charms. Remember, during British rule, access tothe Mall was restricted for locals. After independence Murree has onceagain become the summer retreat of the government and since Islamabadbecame the capital of Pakistan in 1962, has expanded rapidly. There is a governor house, other government houses and summer homes of affluent class from all over the country. The residences are built on thesummit and sides of an irregular ridge, and command magnificent views over forest-clad hills and deep valleys, studded with villages andcultivated fields, with snow-covered peaks of Kashmir in background.
Murree town spreads along the top of a ridge for about fivekilometres. At the north-east end is Kashmir Point, with views acrossthe valley of the Jhelum River into Azad Kashmir. At the south-westend is Pindi Point, looking back towards Rawalpindi and Islamabad.Between the two runs the Mall, at the centre of which is the mainshopping area, where visitors flock. Most conspicuous rendezvous inthe town is General Post Office on the Mall.
Apart from odd looking ruins of Murree Brewery (shifted to Rawalpindi long ago), there is an Ecology Centre that was established in 1960 toexperiment with environment friendly agricultural processes such asgreenhouses to grow winter crops. Although fruit and vegetables areimportant crops at the Centre but this institute has played significant role in the mainstream agriculture through its work oncereal rust. The site was specially selected after a thorough surveyby Canadian team of experts that visited Gilgit, Chitral, Swat, Kaghanand Azad Kashmir. The Centre has done some considerable work to extendthe carrying capacity of the land. Other than this, economy of thearea is predominantly agricultural though land holdings are small. Orlocals have some openings in tourism industry that is still in theinitial stages of development.
In addition to sunsets and cloud effects seen daily during the rainsand good weather, trekking or riding in the chair-lifts are Murree's main amusements. But one can turn the soft jaunt into a dauntingexperience in the name of adventure. Who stops! Like for more daring types and those who want to beat the crowds and still enjoy the green environs of Murree, the best is to explore the surrounding areas.There are many defined walking trails in adjoining country that iswell wooded and its scenery attractive: from Islamabad to Tret, fromTret to Ghora Gali (where "dak" horses used to change during Britishera), from Ghora Gali to Murree, from Murree to Barian and Changla Gali with Swar Gali and Khaira Gali in between and from Changala Galito Nathia Gali through Ayubia and Dunga Gali. From Nathiagali a commontrekking route is to Thandiani with an overnight stay in the way.
Though sometime out of compulsion, I have been walking on Murree-Kakul (Abbottabad) route for sometime. During training in Military Academy Kakul, even fun trips to Murree customarily used to be converted in awalk with big packs (pack point zero eight) instead of trendy andlight backpacks on the back. Out of twenty six items, from needle to blanket to venom antidotes, one was supposed to keep in the packs onlymap and compasses were useful. Rest used to look like an added loadabout as useful wet matches during rain?
But what if sometime one wants to escape into open solitudes, intoaimlessness, into the moral holiday of running some pure hazard, inorder to sharpen the edge of life, to taste hardship, and to becompelled to work desperately for a moment at no matter what? That might be the reason for my once deciding to go back from Murree toKakul cross-country.
Walking a series of hills along the ridge between Murree andAbbottabad is the way to see the green mountain glen, as it requiresto be seen. Murree is over 2,200 meters above sea level whereasAbbottabad lies at the height of 1200 meters therefore walking 70 kilometres downhill from Murree to Abbottabad, even cross country,should be an easy option. But it is not. The contours, those thin,maroon lines on maps of the area are not easy to negotiate on ground.That is what I found during my zigzagging along the contours.
First it is a climb. I felt comfortable and warm but every now andthen I had to go a little down too and then "sweat became a fridge." Inever got warm again. It became soon clear that I could not walkstraight. So I decided to stay at Nathiagalli. Next day, I still hadcold feet but from there on it went down fast and did make it in theevening. Now I have forgotten the agony of carrying the weight of mypack zero eight but till today I have been able to preserve thefeeling stirred by encounter with natural beauty in the way. The wildflowers were big and grass green. It was all very silent. I felt the true essence of a place, for seeing without feeling can obviously beuncaring; while feeling without seeing can be blind.
Walking parallel to Khanspur , at the bottom of a visibly used track ina small bowl like gorge one finds a warning sign posted by some NGO concerned with conservation of wildlife and nature. "Save theWildlife," it advises. Beneath the images of the different birds found in the area, independent visitors had scrawled their names and someone had written his own impromptu comments that reads, "Wish you werehere with me." Very apt! In the way, you also see stacks of animal fodder to be used in winters, villagers coming down the hillsfollowing donkey loaded with dried wood or pruning of trees and an axehanging on side, or carrying the load on heads for use as fire wood,or a rabbit frolicking on the grass, maybe a rat. Or you come acrossred cheeked and friendly kids asking for pencils, their faces bathed in peace. The peace and serenity in the area has a marvellous effecton the nerves.
Most hard core travellers, particularly foreigners, come up with somedaisy character who came "offering them hashish, heroin, sledge, orsomething even more bizarre when they write about their travelexperiences in Pakistan, perhaps in an effort to make their tales rich in adventure, absurdity and humour. Or they tell harrowing tales liketheir belongings stolen on gun point. Maybe they think this makestheir stories culturally more erudite. But in this very touristy area(and even during my other long hauls elsewhere), what I could comeacross are many kindnesses from any thing but ordinary people. I wasoverwhelmed by the consideration I was shown during my cross countrywalk by a humble and hospitable local Malik Nawab Khan, an ex serviceman, who offered me food. His home was in a deadbeat place, cluster ofa few houses on my way and away from any where. Exhausted, and wantingto rest my feet we settled for tea. That was one of the best and muchneeded hot cups of hot tea (with solid boiled eggs) that I took. Hehad told me to keep a lemon and suck on it while walking hard and longin hills. It gives strength and quenches thrust. He also said, "Tirethe mountain not yourself." I realize the folk wisdom in the advices every time I walk. And we still are in communication with each other.Malik Nawab remains another reason for me to visit the area morefrequently.
Hunger for nature becomes more intense as one sees pristine wilderness turning into a scarce commodity. Revisiting a place like Murree doesnot put me off. - I find a new and original angle every time!

For most of the people living in Lahore and upwards, Murree has always been a good tourist and vacation resort. I do enjoy a stroll on the Mall in winters, sipping a cup of hot coffee.
But do someday visit Fort Munro ahead of DG Khan and be surprised to find another good hill station (though very forgotten due to lack of publicity). Once I visited Fort Munro and fas fascinated. Read my experience at:

The Register libeled by huge US telco
Yo! Extra-territorial litigation here we come!
A serious point here. Under UK law, if someone publishes a damaging untruth about you, that is libel, and actionable. If someone says similar about you, that is slander. So hello, Bell Atlantic, and do you feel lucky? The Register's daily update service gets some damn weird stuff in its admin mailbox, but we especially liked one we got last Friday from something called firstname.lastname@example.com. "Subject: A message from firstname.lastname@example.com contained spammed material."
This is slightly illiterate, but it still looks like libel to us. BigYellow is a service operated by Bell Atlantic Electronic Commerce Inc., and we do indeed seem to have a hapless would-be reader of The Register Daily Update with an email @bigyellow.com. We'll mail him separately, avoiding swear words, to let him know why he's not getting the service.
The text of the message from firstname.lastname@example.com tells us the "message was blocked by the server and will not be delivered to the recipient." It helpfully attaches a log file so we can figure out why this happened. First of all, it checks us for viruses, and hearteningly we find we haven't got any. Not at least those known by Sophos up to 6 March, which considering the message was dealt with on 31 March, is maybe a little bit out of date for a totally battle-ready system. But then it gets bad.

It's actually a little disappointing that the DecencyBot only found these terms in The Reg unacceptable, but looking on the bright side, it was only parsing the file containing the headlines from Friday's issue, so it didn't get a chance to check out the real smut inside. But one could wonder why words like "secrets" and "free" are troublesome - sinister or what? And that "HaveSpam" is clearly libel.
Maybe somebody should tell BigYellow's corporate lawyers about what BigYellow's techies are putting into BigYellow's automated messages, before somebody sues... Considering BigYellow's strenuous efforts to protect its users, we were amused in an ironic sort of way to check out one of the services BigYellow offers. It's got one of those nice privacy policies, but it allows you to do phone number, address and email searches for people. And when it kicks them up, it adds nice little details like a map of the town they live in, nearby airports, auto rental companies, hotels... We were almost tempted to "Search other categories" for gun-shops. ®

John was born Nov 19, 1951 probably in Ohio, and died May 15, 2009 in Columbus, Franklin, Ohio. S/O Jack Rea and Winifred Summers. H/O Nancy Rea.
Columbus Dispatch, The (OH) - Sunday, May 17, 2009
Deceased Name: REA John P. Rea
REA John P. Rea, age 57, of Columbus (Clintonville), Oh. passed away on May 15, 2009. His family is comforted by knowing John is now happy, healthy, and in the arms of his loving Lord. Born November 19, 1951 to the late Winifred Summers and Jack Rea. He is survived by his loving wife of 29 years, Nancy; son, John "Charlie" Rea; daughter, Elizabeth "Beth" Rea; brother, David Rea of N.Y.; sister, JoEllen Rea; mother-in-law, Marie Croy; sister-in-law, Janie Hawkins (Bill); endearing friends, Edd Mieczkowski and Shawn Hageman; and a host of nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends. His passing this week leaves a great void in all their lives. John was a graduate of The Ohio State University. He was employed by BUNZL of Columbus. Starting in the warehouse, he worked his way through the ranks to become general manager. He was also employed by Sledd and Clark Products. John valued family, friends and community. He was a man that wanted his community to prosper and thrive. He was a member of Ascension Lutheran Church, on the board of Clintonville July 4th Celebration Inc., and coached NCIL Baseball/Softball and Dominion Baseball/Softball league for ten years. John will be remembered for his feistiness, he never had a problem standing up for what he believed in. Throughout life, John wrote beautifully and prolifically. He enjoyed painting with water colors, writing songs and playing his guitar while serenading family and friends, and researching his family roots. His bright spirit, warm hospitality, and deep love and care for family and friends were gifts to all who knew and loved him. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to Ascension Lutheran Church, 1479 Morse Rd., Columbus, Oh. 43229. Friends may call Tuesday from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at the WEIR-AREND FUNERAL HOME, 4221 N. High St., (3 blocks south of Henderson Rd.), where service will be held Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 10:30 a.m. Pastor Tim Muller officiating. Interment Green Lawn Cemetery.
Booster, The (Columbus, OH) - Tuesday, May 19, 2009
Deceased Name: John Rea - Clintonville loses one of its strong, supportive voices
One of Clintonville's strongest voices was silenced Friday when John Rea died at the age of 57.
Rea was active in the community's Fourth of July celebrations, Whetstone High School boosters and helped start the Dominion Middle School Baseball-Softball League which remains strong today.
If something made him mad, he was never shy about letting you know -- though he was just as quick to put his arm around you and say "Good job" if he was pleased about something.
His commitment to local youth, shared by his wife Nancy who teaches at Dominion, has created ripples of influence that can't be quantified.
Calling hours are Tuesday, May 19, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. at Weir-Arend Funeral Home. Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 20, at the funeral home, 4221 N. High St.
His family, including son John "Charlie" Rea and daughter Beth, ask that memorial donations be made to Ascension Lutheran Church, 1479 Morse Road.

And we're off! Le Tour departs grandly from Yorkshire's Leeds through the majestic countryside of North Yorkshire on its way to the spa town of Harrogate. 3 categorised climbs on this stage might end the hopes of that yellow jersey for some sprinters but with so much at stake expect those sprinter's teams to make sure that doesn't happen. A distinctly rolling finish into Harrogate as well but with the speed of the peloton at that point expect the momentum to get even the heaviest of sprinters easily over the rises.
Category: Climbs
The Climbs of the 2014 Giro d'Italia Internazionale Femminile
After having a nice chat with Emma Pooley while descending Yorkshire's bunting festooned Cragg Vale last night she mentioned she was heading off to race the Giro this Friday. Giro? That must mean hills right? It sure does, and some corkers too. Here are the key climbs for the women's Giro d'Italia that runs from Friday 4th to Sunday 13th July.
The climbs of the 2014 Tour de Suisse
Switzerland has some of the most dramatic climbs in the world but despite their jaw dropping curves the gradients tend to be at the more manageable end of the scale. Two time trials break up the week so expect the GC to be a controlled affair with the main favourites trying to make the difference in the time trials.
Strines – The Final 40km of the Tour de France 2014, Stage 2
The final 40km of stage 2 of Le Tour is likely to be action packed. The terrain will see to it that attacks will come and the cream of the world's professional cyclists will emerge at the front to do battle until the finish in Sheffield. The roads here are largely within the Strines region which cyclists from Yorkshire and the Peak District know very well. Many local pros, past and present, have utilised the repeated steep climbs in the area to hone their racing fitness. The Strines Road itself is a notoriously steep stretch of tarmac which begins at the A616 at Midhopestones and terminates at the A57 after 15 rollercoaster kilometres. The Tour riders won't cover the full length but they will tackle the most severe sections before turning off east towards High Bradfield and further sharp ascents on the approach to Sheffield.
The Climbs of the Critérium du Dauphiné 2014
One of my favourite races of the Pro Cycling calendar, the Critérium du Dauphiné. Named after the Dauphiné province in south-eastern France's high mountains this race is always packed with the top Tour de France contenders performing their last major competition prior to the Grand Depart. Next time we'll see this top class field it will be on the streets of Yorkshire! Taking in many of the famous climbs of the Alps with 3 mountain top finishes this year's race will be a great warm up for the spectators as well as the riders.
Giro d'Italia 2014 – Key Climbs Stages 18, 19 and 20
The 3 weeks of the 2014 Giro d'Italia are almost up and although the snowy high point of the race (Passo dello Stelvio) has been and gone, by far the toughest climb and final showdown of the race is yet to come – Monte Zoncolan. Prior to that though are 2 more days of climbing including an individual, mountain time trial. Will Rigoberto Uran be able to turn around his deficit to Nairo Quintana? Here are all the details of the climbs of these last three mountain stages.
Giro d'Italia 2014 – Key Climbs Stages 14, 15 and 16
The Giro d'Italia is about to get serious! The sprinters will now be fighting to make the time limits as the roads shoot skywards with the next three stages tackling 6 category 1 or above climbs including the Passo Dello Stelvio which at 2,758m is the high point of the race. Fingers crossed the poor weather continuing to plague this year's Giro (similar to last year) will abate to avoid the cancelling or rerouteing of any of these stages.
Le Cote de Jenkin Road
Jenkin Road is the final climb on stage 2 of the 2014 Tour de France. Its position on the route, only minutes from finish in Sheffield, is crucial and is likely to influence the final outcome. Jenkin is only short but it is steep enough to be a significant challenge to the riders of Le Tour, especially as it comes after 195 hilly kilometres.
Giro d'Italia 2014 – Key Climbs of Stages 5 to 9
Now that the Giro has left Ireland things should well hot up on the GC (General Classification) front and apart from the two individual timetrials the biggest moves will be made on the many spectacular climbs that will need to be conquered. There were a few climbs in Ireland but as we all knew, they were never going to cause even the sprinters any concerns but for the remainder of this first week there are many climbs that will cause some serious time splits.
The Climbs of the Giro d'Italia – Stage 3
Following stage 2's scenic trip down coastline of Northern Ireland, stage 3 will take the peloton south from Armagh to the finish in the heart of Dublin. Similar to stage 2 this stage is one for the sprinters with only a couple of early climbs to allow an escape to get clear, scoop up the King Of the Mountain points, grab some TV time for their sponsors before being caught by the sprinters teams within sight of the finish. Although you'll probably see little of these stage 3 climbs on the television coverage, you might fancy heading out to watch the race or to try them for yourself so here's all you need to know.

How did I miss this?? Haitian-American poet Phebus Etienne passed away this year. I met Phebus in 2000, at Hedgebrook on Whidbey Island, where she was compiling her manuscript, much of which she had written while at NYU. Beautiful, aching poems that traced her childhood in Haiti, and in East Orange, NJ, with her mother who was a seamstress I believe, on top of her work at a factory, and who had died a few years prior, a loss that left Phebus alone, and inconsolable. Nicole, I believe, was her mother's name, and I hope that her manuscript appears somewhere because those poems were passionate, white hot, and full of rage at a system that had failed her mother. Bastard M.D. was one title.
Many of those poems appeared in journals over the years, and Phebus was particularly happy to have been chosen by fellow Haitian American writer Edwidge Danticat, for the Beacon Best of 2000. It is a curious fact that poets can go so long without placing a manuscript. I know she had a hard time with that. But like most of us, she moved toward lightness, and loved to laugh. Other notes are found on blogs, including the wonderful Cherryl Floyd-Miller, and on Poetry Foundation and Cave Canem. Damn.
After I buried my mother, I would see her often,
standing at the foot of my bed
in a handmade nightgown she trimmed with lace
whenever I was restless with fever or menstrual cramps.
I was not afraid, and if her appearance was a delusion,
it only confirmed my heritage.
Haitians always have relationships with the dead.
Each Sabbath, I lit a candle that burned for seven days.
I created an altar on the top shelf of an old television cart.
It was decorated with her Bible, a copy of The Three Musketeers,
freesia, delphinium or lilies if they were in season.
My offering of her favorite things didn't conjure
conversations with her spirit as I had hoped.
But there was a dream or two where she was happy,
garnets dangling from her ears,
and one night she shuffled some papers,
which could have been history of my difficult luck
because she said, "We have to do something about this."
She hasn't visited me for months.
I worry that my life is an insult to her memory,
that she looks in and turns away
because I didn't remain a virgin until I married,
because my debts will remain unforgiven.
Lightning tattoos the elms as florists make
corsages to honor living mothers.
I think of going to mass at St. Anne, where she was startled
by the fire of wine when she received her first communion.
But I remember that first Mother's Day without her,
how it pissed me off to watch a seventy year-old daughter
escort her mom to sip from the chalice.
Yesterday, as the rain fell warm on the azaleas,
I planted creeping phlox on my mother's grace,
urging the miniature flowers to bloom larger next year
like the velvet petals of bougainvillea that covered our neighbor's gate.
I crave a yard to plant lemon and mango trees as she did.
Tonight I mold dumplings for pumpkin stew,
add a dash of vinegar for spice as she taught me,
sprinkle my palms with flour before rolling the dough between them.
I will thread my needle and embroider a coconut tree on a place mat,
keep stitching her presence in my life.
Phebus Etienne

The plight of the rickshaw driver is part of an overall problem where the permitting structure prevents small operators from bootstrapping a business.
The cost for a certificate is the same whether you operate a two-person rickshaw, as this gentleman does, or a fleet of buses capable of hauling hundreds a day. Add to that the cost of insurance, which has to be prepaid and is required to get the permit and the cost of a business license (hiked by the Murkowski administration) where the state charges the rickshaw driver the same two-year license fee as it charges the oil companies, and it is evident that the old days of starting a business on a shoestring and benefiting from the tourism dollars is gone. Something is wrong with this picture.
The Empire has just run a series about affordable housing. But affordable housing is just part of the picture. If only those with big bucks can get an economic toehold then we have economic downward spiral.
I don't have much hope for state licensing changes, but certainly the city could alter the status quo by charging by carrying capacity rather than having a flat fee. This is also a wonderful opportunity for community organizations to develop programs that assist small entrepreneurs to get started.

WOODDALE — I have a few questions in response to Frank French's letter, "Good intentions in Edgar health trip" (Voice, Feb. 23).
What exactly is The Worksite Wellness Council of Greater Chicago? Does it provide any other services besides free publicity for large corporations? (I doubt any small, family-owned business can support an exercise or health program anywhere near the one Quaker Oats has.) Are these services also free? Does your "council" receive anything in return from your elite "winners"?

With Christmas approaching here are some cool guitar accessories to add to your wishlist or sneak on to your family. And if you don't play guitar there's a good chance you know someone who does, so these ideas will help expand your list. All accessories should be available via Amazon or any local/online music store, except where stated otherwise. Street prices are in USD and GBP to serve as a guide and I've ordered the list based on price (low-high).
NB- if you're family and reading this, I have everything on the list so click here to make me a happy man! :P
1. Planet Waves Pro-Winder string winder & cutter: An inexpensive yet invaluable tool for any guitarist that'll make them wonder how they managed without one. There's a bass version available too. $7.95 / £6.50.
2. Guitar Tuner: All-instrument headstock tuners are becoming popular as their tuning accuracy improves, and it's pretty handy as they work well with acoustics and electrics. Check out the Planet Waves NS Mini Headstock Tuner and Snark SN-8 Clip-On Tuner. The Snark is my favorite because it's quick and has a built-in metronome. PW is $20 / £16 and Snark $15 / £13.
3. Strap Lock System: The majority of players don't use or believe they need strap locks but think of strap locks as insurance, especially if you gig. It basically locks your strap in and ensures the guitar never slips off while playing, even if you love doing crazy guitar spins à la Malmsteen. I personally prefer Ernie Ball Super Locks ($20 / £16) but the Dunlop StrapLok System ($15 / £18) and Schaller Security Locks ($25 / £15) are also good. A popular alternative for strap locks is the DiMarzio ClipLock strap ($22 / £20).
4. Guitar straps boil down to personal taste as there are numerous brands and types, but after trying many I settled on Planet Waves Joe Satriani woven guitar straps a few years ago. Excellent quality, very comfortable, and they look cool. If the JS designs don't do it for you head over to Planet Waves and check out their strap collection. Woven straps average $25 / £20.
5. FretWraps: A great accessory for muting and dampening strings to reduce unwanted noise. I use it primarily as a string-dampener at the neck replacing packing foam. Hair ties are just as effective but you've got to find the right size and elasticity while FretWraps are purpose-made and never wear out. Available directly from GRUV Gear for $30 + shipping (worldwide).
6. Guitar stand: A compact, sturdy and lacquer-safe stand for guitar or bass (GS401B for acoustics). It also comes in a nice bag so you can fold and stash it in the back of your amp or with other accessories. Hercules GS402B mini Electric guitar stand ($35 / £20). Hercules GS401B mini Acoustic guitar stand ($35 / £23). Don't miss Hercules' multi-guitar rack stands if you'd rather have all guitars on a single stand.
7. Instrument cable: After I switched to Bullet Cable a few years ago I haven't looked back. Brilliant quality and durability, fun cable + plug designs, and a friendly team behind the brand always willing to help. For your sonic pleasure I highly recommend the Bullet Vintage/Retro Coil 10′ or 25′ cable ($35-$45 / £25-£35) and Silver Bullet instrument cable ($35 / £35).
8. Vox amPlug Headphone Guitar Amp: These headphone amps have been around for a few years and Vox have done good by continually expanding the range, so no matter what genre of music you play there's one for you. Priced at $40 / £35. If you're willing to drop more coin, Vox have one-upped the amPlug recently with the release of their amPhones Guitar Headphones which is definitely worth a look.
9. Patch cables: If you're putting a pedalboard together or would like to upgrade patch cables on your existing board, you can't go wrong with either the Bullet Cable SLUG Connector Kit ($80 / £69) or Lava Cable Mini ELC Pedalboard Kit ($70 / £70). I find both equally good and use them in 2 different rigs but Slugs are easier to make, by far.
10. Buffer pedal: Last on the list is another invaluable tool to help retain the integrity of your guitar signal (read- prevent high frequency loss). An absolute requirement for long cable runs but equally effective when you plug straight into an amp, you cannot discount the value of adding a high-quality buffer in your signal chain. The RJM Tone Saver and Radial PB1 are the most transparent and natural buffers I've come across with one differentiating feature (isolated output vs. clean boost), so read up to determine which one is better suited for your rig. RJM Tone Saver Audio Buffer/Isolated Splitter ($149 / £129), Radial BigShot PB1 Class-A Power Booster ($140 / £139).

Ever since Phish announced their reunion, our heads have been FILLED with Phishy thoughts. We've been digging back through our collections and listening to all of the old shows with a renewed love for the music. And though rumors abound regarding some Phish shows in Colorado this summer, nothing has been announced yet. And we are well aware that, as lucky as a couple of us are to be going to Hampton next month, MOST folks here in Colorado didn't get so lucky and will have to miss out. So we thought, what the hell, let's play a couple of PHIX shows here in Denver...it'll be a little warm-up for the reunion shows and the summer tour, a little Phix for those who can't be there for whatever reason. And it'll most definitely be a blast, and a great chance to get together with all of our friends who we don't see so often these days...
We should also add that we have opening acts on both nights, both of which feature Phix bass beeyotch Brian Adams, the hardest-working bassist in Colorado. On Friday 2/13, the band is Ethereal Plane, featuring Patrick Latella on guitar and some outstanding funky, fusiony jams. On Sat. 2/14, the opener is Magnolia Row, a wonderful bluegrass band featuring excellent musicianship and beautiful vocal harmonies. We think you'll really enjoy both bands, and we hope you'll get there early both nights to hear them play. Music will get going by 9:30, if not earlier, and Phix will take the stage by 10:45 or so both evenings.
We look forward to seeing our Colorado friends and family at these shows, and we thank everyone for all the support you have given us over the years. It'll probably be a while before you get another e-mail from us, since these are the only Phix shows we have on the calendar. We don't know what the future holds for Phix, but we have been very thankful for the opportunities we have had to get back together over the last year or so, and it may still happen again in the future...but meanwhile, we're all looking forward to getting out to see the real deal this spring and summer, and we hope to bump into some of you at the shows.
Wow....another great show guys! The Friday show was really fun.
