87-year-old woman foils attempted robbery in NC
HENDERSONVILLE, NC (AP) — The Henderson County sheriff says people who break into homes are taking a big risk, even if their intended victim is an 87-year-old woman.
Sheriff Charles McDonald tells the Asheville Citizen-Times that two men face first-degree burglary charges in connection with the break-in last week at a woman's Highland Lake community home. He says the two men fled after she displayed a 9mm pistol.
The men were arrested and could face more charges in connection with other break-ins.
McDonald says both men involved in the robbery last week were armed. He declined to be more specific, citing the ongoing investigation.
He says the woman who chased off the two men is doing fine.

Half of Americans say they don't trust advertisements, and 44% say they think ads are intentionally dishonest, according to a recent poll from YouGov.
Moreover, most Americans (58%) say there should be stronger requirements for proving claims in advertising.
Trust in advertising appears to be dependent on education, YouGov found: 65% of Americans with postgraduate degrees say advertising cannot be trusted, compared with 44% of those with a high school education.
Age plays a role as well: 35-54-year-olds are more likely to trust advertising (58% do) than 18-34-year-olds and those 55+ (only 48% of both groups think advertising can be trusted).
Below, additional key findings from the report, which was based on data from a survey of 987 US adults who see advertisements at least once a month.
Trust by Category
- Advertisements for diet products, financial services, pharmaceuticals, and cars are the least trusted by consumers.
- Ads for restaurants, clothing stores, and household electronics are the most trusted.
- 25% of respondents say they believe advertising claims made by casual dining restaurants (e.g., Applebee's, Chili's, Olive Garden), but only 16% believe those made by fast-food chains.
- Women (23%) are more likely than men (16%) to trust clothing store advertisements, whereas men (17%) are more inclined than women (12%) to believe consumer electronics advertising.
Tactics such as comparative advertising, citing scientific endorsements, and highlighting awards increase trust with some consumers but actually make a larger number more suspicious:
- 16% of respondents say they are more likely to believe an advertisement that includes the testimonial of a scientist or expert, but 29% say they are less likely to believe these sorts of ads.
- Ads making comparisons with brand competitors are more likely to be believed by 15% of respondents but less likely to be believed by 26%.
- Advertisements that mention awards are more likely to believed by 20% of respondents but less likely to believed by 22%.
About the research: The report was based on data from a survey of 987 US adults who see advertisements at least once a month.

Probabilistic optimal safety valuation based on stochastic finite element analysis of steel cable-stayed bridges
Han, Sung-Ho ; Bang, Myung-Seok ;
Smart Structures and Systems, volume 10, issue 2, 2012, Pages 89~110
DOI : 10.12989/sss.2012.10.2.089
This study was intended to efficiently perform the probabilistic optimal safety assessment of steel cable-stayed bridges (SCS bridges) using stochastic finite element analysis (SFEA) and expected life-cycle cost (LCC) concept. To that end, advanced probabilistic finite element algorithm (APFEA) which enables to execute the static and dynamic SFEA considering aleatory uncertainties contained in random variable was developed. APFEA is the useful analytical means enabling to conduct the reliability assessment (RA) in a systematic way by considering the result of SFEA based on linearity and nonlinearity of before or after introducing initial tensile force. The appropriateness of APFEA was verified in such a way of comparing the result of SFEA and that of Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS). The probabilistic method was set taking into account of analytical parameters. The dynamic response characteristic by probabilistic method was evaluated using ASFEA, and RA was carried out using analysis results, thereby quantitatively calculating the probabilistic safety. The optimal design was determined based on the expected LCC according to the results of SFEA and RA of alternative designs. Moreover, given the potential epistemic uncertainty contained in safety index, failure probability and minimum LCC, the sensitivity analysis was conducted and as a result, a critical distribution phase was illustrated using a cumulative-percentile.
Vibration mitigation of composite laminated satellite solar panels using distributed piezoelectric patches
Foda, M.A. ; Alsaif, K.A. ;
Smart Structures and Systems, volume 10, issue 2, 2012, Pages 111~130
DOI : 10.12989/sss.2012.10.2.111
Satellites with flexible lightweight solar panels are sensitive to vibration that is caused by internal actuators such as reaction or momentum wheels which are used to control the attitude of the satellite. Any infinitesimal amount of unbalance in the reaction wheels rotors will impose a harmonic excitation which may interact with the solar panels structure. Therefore, quenching the solar panel`s vibration is of a practical importance. In the present work, the panels are modeled as laminated composite beam using first-order shear deformation laminated plate theory which accounts for rotational inertia as well as shear deformation effects. The vibration suppression is achieved by bonding patches of piezoelectric material with suitable dimensions at selected locations along the panel. These patches are actuated by driving control voltages. The governing equations for the system are formulated and the dynamic Green`s functions are used to present an exact yet simple solution for the problem. A guide lines is proposed for determining the values of the driving voltage in order to suppress the induced vibration.
Seismic safety assessment of eynel highway steel bridge using ambient vibration measurements
Altunisik, Ahmet Can ; Bayraktar, Alemdar ; Ozdemir, Hasan ;
Smart Structures and Systems, volume 10, issue 2, 2012, Pages 131~154
DOI : 10.12989/sss.2012.10.2.131
In this paper, it is aimed to determine the seismic behaviour of highway bridges by nondestructive testing using ambient vibration measurements. Eynel Highway Bridge which has arch type structural system with a total length of 216 m and located in the Ayvaclk county of Samsun, Turkey is selected as an application. The bridge connects the villages which are separated with Suat U
urlu Dam Lake. A three dimensional finite element model is first established for a highway bridge using project drawings and an analytical modal analysis is then performed to generate natural frequencies and mode shapes in the three orthogonal directions. The ambient vibration measurements are carried out on the bridge deck under natural excitation such as traffic, human walking and wind loads using Operational Modal Analysis. Sensitive seismic accelerometers are used to collect signals obtained from the experimental tests. To obtain experimental dynamic characteristics, two output-only system identification techniques are employed namely, Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition technique in the frequency domain and Stochastic Subspace Identification technique in time domain. Analytical and experimental dynamic characteristic are compared with each other and finite element model of the bridge is updated by changing of boundary conditions to reduce the differences between the results. It is demonstrated that the ambient vibration measurements are enough to identify the most significant modes of highway bridges. After finite element model updating, maximum differences between the natural frequencies are reduced averagely from 23% to 3%. The updated finite element model reflects the dynamic characteristics of the bridge better, and it can be used to predict the dynamic response under complex external forces. It is also helpful for further damage identification and health condition monitoring. Analytical model of the bridge before and after model updating is analyzed using 1992 Erzincan earthquake record to determine the seismic behaviour. It can be seen from the analysis results that displacements increase by the height of bridge columns and along to middle point of the deck and main arches. Bending moments have an increasing trend along to first and last 50 m and have a decreasing trend long to the middle of the main arches.
Evaluation and analytical approximation of Tuned Mass Damper performance in an earthquake environment
Tributsch, Alexander ; Adam, Christoph ;
Smart Structures and Systems, volume 10, issue 2, 2012, Pages 155~179
DOI : 10.12989/sss.2012.10.2.155
This paper aims at assessing the seismic performance of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) based on sets of recorded ground motions. For the simplest configuration of a structure-TMD assembly, in a comprehensive study characteristic response quantities are derived and statistically evaluated. Optimal tuning of TMD parameters is discussed and evaluated. The response reduction by application of a TMD is quantified depending on the structural period, inherent damping of the stand-alone structure, and ratio of TMD mass to structural mass. The effect of detuning on the stroke of the TMD and on the structural response is assessed and quantified. It is verified that a TMD damping coefficient larger than the optimal one reduces the peak deflection of the TMD spring significantly, whereas the response reduction of the main structure remains almost unaffected. Analytical relations for quantifying the effect of a TMD are derived and subsequently evaluated. These relations allow the engineer in practice a fast and yet accurate assessment of the TMD performance.
Experimental identification of rare-earth magnetic suspensions for micro and meso scale levitating systems
Siyambalapitiya, Chamila ; De Pasquale, Giorgio ; Soma, Aurelio ;
Smart Structures and Systems, volume 10, issue 2, 2012, Pages 181~192
DOI : 10.12989/sss.2012.10.2.181
Magnetic suspensions based on passive levitation of diamagnetic materials on permanent magnets provide attractive systems for several applications on the micro and meso scales. The magnetic properties of these kinds of suspensions dramatically reduce the global mechanical stiffness of the devices providing significant effects on their dynamic response. The goal of this paper is to investigate the static and dynamic behavior of magnetic suspensions with respect to its dependant parameters. Experimental measurements have been performed on the response of dedicated prototypes where the geometrical dimensions and magnetic field strength have been intended as variable parameters. Some benefits have been documented in the fields of energy harvesting and inertial sensing, while additional applications of magnetic suspensions are under investigation.

Trudy Glenister pregnancy death: Ambulance service apologises
The East of England Ambulance Service has apologised after student paramedics sent to a pregnant woman, failed to realise she was bleeding to death.
Trudy Glenister, 38, of Great Wakering, Essex, died in 2011 after suffering an ectopic pregnancy.
But her inquest heard only two students went to the house and they failed to realise the severity of her condition.
Recording a verdict of death by natural causes, coroner Caroline Beasley-Murray said there had been "serious failings".
The inquest in Chelmsford heard that on 11 April 2011 an ambulance was called after Ms Glenister, who was five-weeks pregnant, complained of severe abdominal pains.
'Very sorry'
Two student paramedics arrived and gave her pain relief, but the court was told that they failed to spot that Ms Glenister might have internal bleeding and believed her condition was improving.
They did not use blue lights or sirens to transport her to hospital, as it was thought they would cause undue anxiety.
The inquest was told it took the pair 40 minutes to take her to Southend Hospital, less than seven miles away, with the ambulance having to queue because it had not informed the hospital of the severity of her condition.
Ms Glenister went into cardiac arrest and died soon after arrival. She died from internal bleeding caused by the ectopic pregnancy, a post-mortem examination found.
Ms Beasley-Murray criticised the trust for sending student paramedics on the call and failing to properly train them on ectopic pregnancy.
'A lottery'
The inquest heard four out of eight ambulances in the Southend area at the time of the incident were entirely crewed by student paramedics.
Dr Anthony Marsh, chief executive of the ambulance service, said he was "very sorry", adding it was a "key priority" to have a fully-trained paramedic on every ambulance.
Ms Glenister's sister, Paula Chapman, said: "All they had to do because they were unqualified was to get her to the hospital as quickly as possible.
"We have to have qualified staff and if not, the ambulance trust need to be honest with people calling 999 that it is a lottery and they might only get trainee staff."
Ms Chapman said the family was considering legal action against the ambulance trust.

Rostov-on-don came to the preparation for the 2018 world Cup complex
Preparation for the FIFA world Cup 2018 in Rostov-on-don is at a record pace and in all directions: develop sports infrastructure, transport sector, hotel sector. One of the host cities of the FIFA world Cup will be the surprise guests from around the world. But large-scale innovations will ensure the development of the region for decades to come, underlines the Governor Vasily Golubev.
Hardly beautiful and victorious ended Sochi Olympics as full swing, preparations have begun for at least large-scale event – the 2018 FIFA world Cup. Here the reins of the economy is ready to take over the city, watching the world tournaments previously only from the outside, but has not lost the natural spirit of sportsmanship. It Rostov-on-don along with the other ten Russian cities destined to become another hallmark of our country.
Aviation expands
"The backlog, which we will create here will serve people for decades to come"
Rostov-on-don is ready to surprise its residents and visitors not only sports facilities. Preparations for the international event covers many aspects of citizens ' lives. On 29 February, the airline "Rusline" at the airport of Rostov-on-don launched four new flights: now the inhabitants of the don capital can fly to Sochi, Kazan, Samara and Ekaterinburg, and no longer have to visit Moscow and other airports.
Recall, the Federal and provincial governments to actively help to expand the geography of flights. So, airlines that transport from Rostov-on-don to Kazan, Yekaterinburg and Sochi, according to the law "On regional budget for 2016 set aside additional funds in the amount of 73.5 million rubles from the regional budget. The same amount will be directed from the Federal budget.
To expand the geography of flights around the country – one of the main tasks of the government of the Rostov region. The Governor of the region Vasily Golubev said that it is planned to open directions in Nizhniy Novgorod, Ufa, Tyumen and Kaliningrad. Development of interregional air routes, increase passenger numbers and will contribute to the development of a new airport facility being built in the Rostov region.
Yet the airport carries the name "southern", but perhaps very soon his name will change. The fact that the name of the complex under construction chosen by the residents, the survey which began on the website of the government of the Rostov region on February 18. Donetsk residents have proposed three options: the well-known name of "South" and "Rostov-on-don" and "Platov" in honor of the famous Cossack ataman, hero of the Patriotic war of 1812. In addition, residents can offer and its name. The voting will end on March 18, and the results will be announced in April.
In any case, no matter how called the airport complex, he "will become a new growth point for the Rostov agglomeration," said the Governor of the Rostov region. According to him, it is not only improving the comfort for the residents, but "new jobs, new investment, new quality of services" and therefore, "a powerful impetus for decades to come".
Now work is underway on the construction of the airfield. The project of the airport complex with each passing day more and more clearly acquires real features: already assembled 4996 piles of the total of 5,900 pieces, in particular for passenger terminal mounted 3070 3180 pieces from piles. In addition, elevated concrete frame building.
Rostov oblast is one of the few where close attention is paid to the development of domestic airlines, said General Director of airline "Rusline" Dmitry Eshtokin. All because for all three parties to the process – the Executive, the airport and the air carrier, the important unity of purpose and ways to achieve, as well as close cooperation and mutual understanding.
The completion and commissioning of the new airport is planned in 2017. Local residents and media are already calling the future of aerokompleks "bridge to heaven". It will become the largest aviation hub in the South of Russia, where the inhabitants can easily travel to other regions and countries. Moreover, "the new airport will serve not only the basic traffic flow of the Rostov region and southern Federal district", said Governor Vasily Golubev. "We expect that in the future he will take care of the traffic of Moscow's airports," he added.
The Governor explained that the geography of flights of the new airport complex will be considerably wider than the existing airport of Rostov-on-don. "Southerners, inhabitants of the neighboring Federal districts will be able to fly to many cities and countries, bypassing Moscow. So I can say that we are creating a brand new, modern hub airport of international level, providing connections between Asia and CIS countries with Europe", – said Golubev.
Blood vessels of the economy
"Modern roads – the blood vessels of the economy, this is the shortest path to its development both in the city and in the countryside," said one Governor.
Full swing reconstruction of Voroshilovsky bridge. In fact, it is the construction of two brand new facilities. Traffic on the raised bog rebuilt the bridge in two lanes already open. In 2017, when will the reconstruction of lanes will be six. The construction of the downstream part of the Voroshilovsky bridge "at current rates" with high probability it will also end earlier than planned, stated Director of the contract organization of the Rostov territorial branch of OJSC "Mostotrest" – "Mostootryad-10" Alexander Goloshivets, who was quoted by the portal DonNews.
Reconstruction of the bridge is of strategic importance. "We will not be able to develop new livoberezhniy district in Rostov, if not build another bridge across the don, if in the near future will not find the correct solution for the modernization of the transport system," – said Golubev back in 2011. And now thanks to a rebuilt Voroshilovsky bridge will improve the transport link between the business and a Central part, as well as other areas of Rostov-on-don and, of course, a Bank.
However, the development of the transport system does not end there. From the southern entrance to the street is under construction of left Bank main street, where you will have access to the future stadium. This will help to redistribute the traffic flows between the Central business area of the city, South porch and a sports and recreation area of the stadium, and then the transport system will become even more flexible and reliable. "Building roads efficiently, we significantly increase the geography of new construction," admitted Golubev in interview to the newspaper "Our time".
The reconstruction of the South entrance of the Federal road Agency plans to launch in 2016 in the framework of the Federal targeted investment programme. The project will eliminate congestion at the southern entrance to the city. The Governor constantly reminds: "we must continue the reconstruction and Federal highways. Right track – from the intensive development of roadside complex. A revival of business creates new workplaces", – Golubev highlights.
Equally important component of preparation for the world Cup – improvement of public transport. The fleet of trams in Rostov-na-Donu was not updated for almost 10 years. The volume of tram transport in 90-e years has fallen several times. And here February 27, domestic manufacturer has launched the first experimental model of a modern low-floor tram is air-conditioned.
"The electric vehicle is in dire need of replacement throughout the region, – declared Vasily Golubev. – This year we plan to buy for the Rostov 30 trams worth almost 1 billion rubles." New trams will be purchased at the expense of regional and Federal funds. The cost of one such tram is 35 million rubles, which is almost three times cheaper than foreign analogues.
It is also planned to carry out major repairs of rail track in the Central streets and to separate them from the flow of cars, so the trams will be a speedy and convenient mode of transport. "The road is life, and each new section – this new development", – stressed the Governor.
The authorities do not forget about the development of water transport. To ensure safe shipping and maximum use of the carrying capacity of the fleet, the planned construction of the hydroelectric complex in Bagaevsky district farm Arpachin. Part of the project are the construction of a ship lock, fish pass construction, dams, engineering structures from flooding and elevated groundwater levels. The object is already included in the "Strategy of development of inland water transport of Russia until 2030". Its implementation will spend 22 billion rubles from the Federal budget. Bagaevskiy to build the dam, according to the Strategy it is planned in 2020. The corresponding decree was signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
The world football championship 2018 will take place on the sidelines of the 11 Russian cities, including Moscow, St. Petersburg and a symbol of the 2014 Olympics – Sochi. Rostov-on-don in this regard, it is important not only to welcome guests but also to become a worthy venue for the world Cup, not allowing herself to overshadow the cities-companions with seasoned star fame. Due to the comprehensive approach of the authorities to the preparation of the city it's safe to say that with this task he could handle it.
Moreover, Rostov-on-don will open new horizons not only for tourists but also for residents of the city, which will long to buy innovative fruits of the world Cup. "Preparation for the championship is a unique opportunity to develop new territory, taking into account not only contemporary, but also future requirements. The backlog, which we will create here will serve people for decades to come", – said Vasily Golubev.Related posts:

Members of the International Trademark Association (INTA) receive, as part of their membership, a subscription to The Trademark Reporter. This Kat -- a long-standing member of the INTA himself -- is among those who, possibly unfairly, suspect that not too many non-US members of this excellent publication actually read it, since both in content and style it has a very American feel to it.
In the very recent past, INTA members should have received their May/June edition of the Reporter, which contains INTA's submission to the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-495/09 Nokia v Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) (noted here by the IPKat). This is a controversial reference for a preliminary ruling of questions pertinent to the issue of whether Customs in the EU can detain goods which are known to be counterfeit but which, being in transit from one non-EU country to another, are not put on to the market in the European Economic Area.
* this appears to be the first time that the INTA has achieved direct party status in Court of Justice proceedings;* party submissions to the Court of Justice are not normally made publicly available, but this submission is;* the position taken by the INTA differs from that of both Nokia (whose trade mark rights are in jeopardy in the underlying litigation that led to this reference) and HMRC.

"I've got guys out right now in pursuit of the investigation," Eckerdt said Wednesday morning.
There is a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and successful prosecution of those responsible, police said.
The drug store's alarm system and officers already in the area on another call led to a rapid response after the 4:20 a.m. front door break in, Eckerdt said.
"We had guys on scene in seconds," he said. No one was seen fleeing the building.
It was just a week ago, around 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 27, that a rock was thrown through Powell Drug's back door. No one entered the building in that instance, Eckerdt said.
Powell as a whole has seen an uptick in property crime in recent weeks, including several broken vehicle windows and a couple instances of items stolen from vehicles.
Eckerdt said the warmer weather has more people out and about. He asked folks to be on the lookout for suspicious behavior.
"The community is our eyes and ears out there so before they write something off to not be anything important ... call it in and let us check things out," Eckerdt said.

The Arizona (AZ) state sales tax rate is currently 5.6%. Depending on local municipalities, the total tax rate can be as high as 10.9%.
Arizona General Sales Tax Info
Sales tax is a tax paid to a governing body (state or local) for the sale of certain goods and services. First enacted in the United States in 1921, sales tax dates back to ancient Egyptian times where paintings depict the collection of tax on commodities. Arizona first adopted a general state transaction privilege tax in 1933. Since that time, the rate has risen to 5.6%.
As a business owner selling taxable goods or services, you act as an agent of the state of Arizona by collecting transaction privilege tax from purchasers and passing it along to the Department of Revenue. This is an important point worth emphasizing. Any transaction privilege tax collected from residents belongs to the Department of Revenue. As a business owner, it is your responsibility to manange the transaction privilege tax you collect to remain in compliance with state laws and avoid penalties and interest.
Streamlined Sales Tax
At this time, Arizona is not a Streamlined Sales Tax member.
State Sourcing
Arizona is an origin-based state. Origin-based states are those where the transaction location is defined as the shipping location of the business rather than the customer delivery location. As a seller, this means you are responsible for applying the sales tax rate determined by the ship-from address on all taxable sales.
Nexus in Arizona
Establishing a substantial presence within a state is a concept known as "nexus" and is the deciding factor for whether the state governing body has the legal authority to require your business to collect transaction privilege tax. The two main principles most closely linked to nexus and sales tax (especially multistate sales tax) are the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the Commerce Clause, Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.
Nexus in Arizona can be triggered by a number of factors. The most common include having a physical location (office, warehouse, plant, etc.) within the state, having employees within the state, or conducting marketing activities within the state.
More recently, internet commerce has sparked debate over what can trigger nexus and where sales tax should be collected. For example, Fulfillment by Amazon merchants may find their products stored in Amazon warehouses across the country. This presence of physical goods in states triggers nexus and expands the complexity of managing your sales tax compliance. There are multiple Amazon warehouses located in Arizona. If you are enrolled in this service, be sure to understand where your products are being stored so you can apply for the appropriate state sales tax licenses and permits.
If you have any questions about whether your business has nexus in Arizona, we encourage you to reach out to Avalara Professional Services for a complete nexus review.
Registering for an Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax License
Prior to selling taxable goods or offering taxable services in Arizona, a business that has established nexus within the state is required to register for an Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax License.
Register Online
Businesses may register for an Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax License online by visiting AZTaxes and following the instructions provided. The Arizona Department of Revenue recommends all new businesses register online. It's fast, free, and more reliable than other options.
Register by Mail
Businesses may register for an Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax License by downloading, completing, and mailing the Joint Tax Application (Form JT-1) to the following address: License & Registration Section, Department of Revenue, PO Box 29032, Phoenix AZ 85038-9032
If you need assistance with completing the Arizona registration form, call (602)542-4576.
Register in Person
Business owners may register for a Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax License in person by visiting a local Arizona Department of Revenue office.
Registration Cost
The cost to register for an Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax License is $12
Renewal Requirements
Filing Transaction Privilege Tax in Arizona
After your business has started collecting Arizona transaction privilege tax, you'll need to understand the process of filing state tax returns. Filing a transaction privilege tax return is the process of reporting the total amount of transaction privilege tax collected during a specific period (assigned based on the amount of sales tax you've collected in the prior year) to the Arizona Department of Revenue. It is a seperate step from remitting (paying) collected tax to the state governing body.
Filing Online
The Arizona Department of Revenue recommends all taxpayers filing transaction privilege tax file online. It's faster, more reliable, and free.
To file your return online, visit AZTaxes and follow the instructions provided.
Filing by Mail
Taxpayers may also file Arizona sales tax returns by completing and mailing Form TPT-1: Transaction Privilege, Use, and Severance Tax Return to the following address: Arizona Department of Revenue, PO Box 29010, Phoenix, AZ 85038-9010
Zero Tax Filing
All businesses with active Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax Licenses are required to file on time returns regardless of whether any tax was collected. Failure to do so may result in penalty fees.
Filing Schedule and Due Dates
Based on the total transaction privilege tax collected, businesses are assigned a filing frequency. Of course, the government will always accept payments sooner than required so filers may accelerate payments if they choose.

Purple Van Man, is '8 out of 10 Cats' star Sean Lock's fantastic new audiobook, recorded in front of a sold out audience at London's Hammersmith Apollo.
We all know what white van man thinks about the world we live in but it's time to hear a different voice, the purple van man's voice.
Filled with gags, opinions, deft observations and some silly voices, this is Sean Lock doing what he does best, spouting inspired jibber jabber as he crosses the country in his purple van.
He will make you laugh like a drunken horse.
©2013 Universal Pictures UK (P)2013 Universal Pictures UK
"A funny look at modern life"
Sean Lock puts his slant on everyday problems and observations in a distinctive comedy style.
"Great laugh"
Funny hour or so listening to some excellent humour delivered in a great Sean Lock way, fantastic, just wish it was longer.
It's a stage performance recording so occasionally you can't see the references but it doesn't spoil the joke.
Good buy.
"A Departure from his Panel Show Material"
It seems like Sean Lock is best known in the UK for his appearance on a multitude of Panel Shows, including the likes of 8 out of 10 Cats.
I wasn't sure what to expect from his stand-up, and that said, it wasn't exactly what I might have expected...it was more narrative than gag-driven, and seemed to have a few lulls where even the live audience weren't entirely sure what to make of some jokes that were a little close to the bone or obscure. That said, a highlight which should raise a smile for most listeners is his delightfully shameless advocacy of heavy drinking as a 'hobby', and his lengthy description of the morning-after paranoia (complete with associated sound-effect: [gnnnnnnnnngh...!]) of such a pastime, which should resonate with anyone who's ever regretted anything, especially after a heavy night or six.
Worth a listen, despite already provoking some mixed Amazon reviews - it seems like most people, like me, are unsure exactly what to expect and don't know what to make of Lock's stand-up. A great opportunity to decide for yourself!

As an authorized distributor of Branon's Maple Ridge, Isabelle's Lighting is proud to carry the complete product line of their 100% Pure Vermont Certified Organic maple products at the lowest prices guaranteed..
O taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man that trusts in Him. Psalms 34:8
Hi. We are Glen and Allison Branon and we were both born, raised and lived in Vermont. We have been married since 2004 and between us we have been blessed with eight children and eleven precious grandchildren.
The Branon's have been in the maple sugaring business for over six generations. The pride of the Branon heritage to make excellent maple syrup is what we strive for. Their love and knowledge of making maple syrup has been passed on through the generations. That's a legacy to continue and to pass on to next generations.
Making maple syrup has changed through the years. New technology has made it possible to produce more syrup faster, but ultimately the amount of sap and the grade of syrup made is in God's control. Freezing nights and about 10 degrees above freezing makes for ideal sap running days. Only God is in control of the weather.
New technology such as vacuum pumps that suck the sap from the trees and reverse osmosis machines that take the water out of the sweet sap along with all stainless steel evaporators and equipment help to make the process more efficient. The grades can change if you don't boil the sap as soon as possible, perferably the same day it comes in. Cleaning the evaporator after every boiling also contributes to better quality syrup.
We work hard to get our maple sugaring business ready for each new season. The 100+ acres that we own in Waterville, VT was Glen's parents, Ralph's and Mary Theresa's land. While Glen and his brothers grew up, their dad tapped 13,000 trees in three sugarbushes in Waterville, Bakersfield and Belvidere.
We purchased Ralph's Waterville sugarbush in 2010 with the dream of continuing his legacy by working hard to produce excellent maple products, while enjoying our family along the way.

Is this Heimdall 2.0? Remember when white supremacists boycotted the casting of Idris Alba as a Norse god in the film Thor? Elba's selection as comic book character Heimdall was met by opposition from so-called purists — who can manage to wrap their tiny minds around a hammer-wielding god that moves between planet Earth and fictional planet Asgard in a bid to protect humanity from evil but who cannot fathom a black man playing the role of a guardian sentry (i.e., a glorified butler, albeit in a fierce uniform).
This time around, The Hunger Games, based on the wildly popular young-adult novel written by Suzanne Collins, is at the center of the conflict. Fans of the novel-turned-Hollywood blockbuster set Twitter on fire upon learning that black people were playing three characters — Rue, Thresh and Cinna — in the film.
In the novel, Rue is clearly described as having "dark brown skin and eyes" and "thick, dark hair." Thresh is described as having the same "dark skin as Rue." The characters of Rue and Thresh are portrayed by 13-year-old actress Amandla Stenberg, who is black and Jewish, and Nigerian-born actor Day Okeniyi. Cinna, the other black character in the film, was not described racially in the novel but is played by rocker-turned-actor Lenny Kravitz, who is also black and Jewish.
Racist tweets included everything from "Eww Rue is black" to the use of the "N" word to "Kk call me racist but when I found out rue was black her death wasn't as sad #ihatemyself."
At least the last commenter has the good sense to hate himself. For those who don't have the good sense to hate themselves when making stupid comments about 13-year-olds, then how about not saying anything? It's pretty scary to think that even in a supposedly creative space like filmmaking, which stuck pretty closely to the character descriptions in the novel, that the filmmaker's casting choices are being met with such racist banter. Rue was described as "dark brown" — shouldn't they be saying that Stenberg is too light? Kravitz's character was not even described in terms of skin color in the novel, so what does it matter?
In my mind, the actors are appropriate for the descriptions given for the characters in the novel. I think it's great that they represent the diverse range of beauty found in the Diaspora. Aside from that fact, exactly how much of a jerk and a racist do you have to be to make such tweets about a 13-year-old? That's what is ridiculous, not the casting of blacks in roles for characters with "dark skin" and "thick black hair." I won't even mention how creepy it is that "fans" are unwilling to suspend disbelief in a medium predicated on the suspension of disbelief. Can you say "insanity"?
I suppose only an insane person would attack a 13-year-old or a Web series that they had not seen, which is what happened to rising star Issa Rae of The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl. While Rae's series isn't science fiction, the show is on the Web, the new frontier in media.
Rae's series won the top Shorty Award for best Web series and was immediately blasted with racist Tweets. Rae posted a snarky commentary on xoJane in response to the critics, who called her a "Niggerette" and said, "Of course the black one wins." Rae fought back during the attack by tweeting, "Losers be triiiiiiipppppppiiiiiiiiiin," reminding us of the beauty of her show's character J, who speaks to the awkward black girl in all of us.
In the xoJane post, Rae highlighted the need for her show in a world where people cannot even imagine your presence in it. She wrote, "This mindset is exactly why creative shows of color don't get to exist on television anymore. There's an overbearing sense of entitlement that refuses to allow shows of color to thrive. How dare we even try?"
Like Stenberg, Okeniyi, Elba, the filmmakers behind Thor and Hunger Games and novelist Suzanne Collins, Rae is trying to create a world where awkward black girls exist.
The resistance of so-called fans to include people of color, even when the description of a character calls for one, shows just how much of a disease racism is in our society. It is oozing out of our pores when dynamic black folks like Rae, Stenberg and Kravitz are being attacked for playing a role or creating a role that challenges popular notions of who we are, even in genres like science fiction and mediums like the Web.
Racism in science fiction is not new, but the willingness to publicly assail actors on social networks for not reinscribing a world where people of color are welcome only by invitation is pretty pathetic.
Rae said it best. It's too bad that the haters haven't figured out that their ignorance and extremism make it possible for folks like Rae to succeed by motivating them to create change, even in popular culture.
In the words of Awkward Black Girl's' J, "losers be triiiiiiippppppiiiiiiiiing, winners be wiiiiiiiiinnnnniiiiiing." Until the haters are able to wrap their tiny minds around that factor, Rae, Stenberg, Okeniyi and Kravitz will prevail in fantasy and reality.

NLDS Game 4: Giants tie series behind arrival of offense, Tim Lincecum's relief effort
Score and situation: The San Francisco Giants forced a decisive Game 5 with an 8-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark on Wednesday afternoon.
Leading lads: After managing a total of just four runs in their first three games, the Giants offense broke out in a big way during Game 4. Angel Pagan hit the first leadoff home run in the franchise's long postseason history while Gregor Blanco and Pablo Sandoval each hit a two-run homer. Starter Barry Zito didn't have his best stuff and was yanked after allowing two runs and four walks over 2 2/3 innings of work. But manager Bruce Bochy went to the ace up his sleeve, bringing Tim Lincecum in from the bullpen with two outs in the bottom of the fourth. Lincecum struck out Ryan Ludwick to end a Reds scoring threat and he'd go on to strike out six Reds batters while allowing just one run over 4 1/3 innings of work. Head hangers: Reds starter Mike Leake performed poorly after being called into the postseason roster to replace the injured Johnny Cueto. The righthander came into the game with a good track record against the Giants, giving up just three runs over his last three starts (23 1/3 total IP). He wilted on Wednesday, though giving up three runs in his first two innings and five over 4 1/3.
Key play: Zito didn't last long, but his strikeout of Dioner Navarro with the bases loaded in the first inning was huge. Zito had walked two batters in the frame, but limiting the Reds to just one run in the first set the tone for the day.
Interesting stat: The Giants have won the last 12 starts by Barry Zito.
What they'll be talking about: It's amazing how quickly the momentum of a series can change. Twenty-four hours ago, the Giants offense was flailing and it looked like it'd be swept out of the postseason. One Scott Rolen error on Tuesday and a good team win on Wednesday later, the Giants are walking into Game 5 on Thursday with a swagger. They hold the upper hand with Matt Cain starting against Mat Latos, which is now part of the reason that Dusty Baker will be forced to answer questions on why he didn't try to end it early by starting Latos against Zito in Game 4.
What's next: A Game 5 at Great American Ballpark on Thursday for the right to advance to the NLCS. First pitch is scheduled for 1:07 p.m. ET with Matt Cain and Mat Latos listed as the expected starters. The game will be televised on TBS.
Make sure your bases are covered this postseason ...

Haiglers take 2 days off, visit son
The Haiglers honored a family tradition dating back to ancestors who lived through the depression by engaging in hard labor with their son, by cutting firewood and picking up pecans in their back yard. Dave, left, demonstrated proper chainsaw technique.
Justin, right, showed he could master that sucker as well.
It wasn't long before the chainsaw needed fine-tuning, which Dave, left, demonstrated.
Justin, right, did some fine-tuning himself.
Next it was log-splitting time for Dave, left, now the patriarch of the Haigler clan since the death of his father, D.J. Haigler, in 2001.
Not to be outdone by the old man, Justin, right, split a few logs as well.
We will not say who broke the axe.
Meanwhile, Becky, below right, cagily supervised these wild men while pretending to be picking up pecans. She had several boxes of pecans to sort as a result of her labors, left.
Another project that needed doing, while all this firewood cutting and splitting was going on, was to burn out some tree stumps that were in the way of the new fence the Haiglers plan to build.
Dave is seen, below right, trying to burn out a stump.
After all this work, the Haiglers, left, adjourned to Perini's Ranch Steakhouse for some vittles. Although most normal people pay for their kids' meals, especially when they work, the Haiglers had cultivated the feeling of being privileged to work, so Justin paid for the meal.
They then returned home to open some Christmas presents, right.
Justin, left, did manage to come out with a few things as well.
The next day, the men indulged another family tradition, an intergenerational racketball game.
Justin is seen, right, hitting the ball.
Dave, left, despite being 60 years old, was able to hit the ball a few times as well.
We will not say who won, although elderly finesse usually trumps youthful vigor, and the contest ended with an intergenerational hug, right.
Justin Haigler is audio-visual director for the Gaylord Texan Hotel-Convention Center Resort in Grapevine, Texas.
Dave & Becky's other children are a daughter Rachel, a teacher in Lubbock; a daughter, Carrie, a contractor in Baton Rouge; and a daughter, Kiersten, a nurse in Houston who is moving to San Antonio next week.

|Reaming - Course: Techniques for machining of material. Trainees' handbook of lessons (Institut für Berufliche Entwicklung, 21 p.)
The reaming process is to be prepared so that all working tools and materials are readily available.
For the determination of the cutting values it is important to know that reamers are made of tool steel or high-speed steel.
Therefore, reaming is done with low cutting speed (v) and high feed rate. As a guideline, v can be taken as m/min.
The necessary rotational speed (n) is calculated by conversion of
The feed is manually effected and to be selected so as to ensure the surface finish required (no scoring). Prior to reaming the surface must have been finished (admissible height of roughness Rz 20) since otherwise the machining allowance would not be sufficient to remove the tool marks completely.
A fitting hole of 32 mm dia. is to be produced by reaming. What rotational speed is to be selected for reaming?
n =
================= r.p.m.
The direction of rotation of the work spindle is of special importance for reaming. When reaming, the workpiece must always rotate in opposite direction to the cutting edges (clockwise rotation), also when the tool is retracted, since otherwise the cutting edges would chip.
The reaming technique always requires prior machining of the hole to be reamed.
Within the technological sequence, reaming is included as follows:
1. Centring
2. Drilling
3. Boring/Counterboring with spiral-fluted counterbore
4. Reaming
5. Final inspection.
Why is the direction of rotation of the work spindle important
What are the operations connected with reaming within the
technological sequence of operations for the production of a fitting
With the boring/counterboring operation the hole is to be provided with a machining allowance for the subsequent reaming operation. The surface must have been finished (no major tool marks).
The recommended values for machining allowances can be taken from the respective table.
A fitting hole of dia. 16 F8 to be produced by reaming shall have a machining allowance of 0.2 - 0.3 mm. The boring/counter-boring tolerance, consequently, is 15.8 (upper deviation) and 15.7 (lower deviation).
The final size of a reamed hole does not only depend on the correct diameter of the reamer but also on the type of the material to be reamed, the clamping facilities of the reamer, the position of the tailstock and the type of the coolant and lubricant. The same reamer, for example, may produce different diameters into tough steel and brittle grey cast iron.
Therefore, a test hole must always be produced.
In the event of dimensional variations, the tool is to be changed.
What is the machining allowance for a dia. 24 H7
What factors are influencing the accuracy to size of a
For the selection of the coolant and lubricant it is essential that
- reaming of grey cast iron is dry reaming,
- addition of spirit is recommended for reaming of aluminium,
- steel should be reamed using cutting oil,
- the use of a water-in-oil emulsion (diluted soluble oil) permits closer reaming of the hole.
The following main tools and accessories are to be made available for machining (centring, drilling, boring, reaming):
- Chuck with internally turned, soft chuck jaws for clamping of the workpiece.
- Centre drill with drill chuck for centring the workpiece.
- Twist drill for rough-machining of the hole.
- Internal side-cutting tool (boring tool) or spiral-fluted counterbore (three-lipped twist drill) to produce the hole with machining allowance for reaming.
- Reamer for finishing the hole (see Fig. 2).
- Taper sleeves for location in the tailstock.
- Coolant/lubricant.
- Vernier caliper for dimensional checks in the 0,1 mm range.
- Depth gauge (for stepped holes or blind holes).
- Dial gauge for radial and axial run-out checks.
- Limit plug gauge for initial and final inspections.
Figure 11 Limit plug gauge
1 go end, 2 not-go end, 3 nominal size marking
Figure 12 Taper plug gauge
1 testing area, 2 fitting marking, 3 nominal size marking
The size of the reamer and of the limit plug gauge must be determined on the basis of the working drawing and must correspond with each other. Reamers with a smaller quality index (e.g. dia. 30 H7 required, dia. 30 H6 available) may be used.
Machine reamers are clamped in the tailstock. Prior to reaming it is to be made sure that the tailstock is in central position, i.e. that the axis of rotation of the workpiece and the centre line of the tool are in line. If necessary, the tailstock is to be laterally re-aligned as per Fig. 13 since otherwise the nominal diameter cannot be maintained because the tool will cut at one side of the hole only.
Figure 13 Tailstock adjustment
1 workpiece held in chuck, 2 reamer, 3 tailstock sleeve, 4 centre offset, 5 adjustability
Minor centre offset between the workpiece and tool can be compensated for by the use of a floating head as per Fig. 14.
Figure 14 Floating holder (floating head)
1 floating sleeve, 2 holder, 3 locking bolt
Labour safety recommendations:
- For transportation cover the cutting portion of the reamer to prevent injuries.
- When checking the hole by means of the limit plug gauge make sure that the cutting portion is sufficiently off the work area or is covered.
- Dont do any measuring or testing unless the work spindle is at standstill 1
- Centre with high rotational speed rates!
Firm clamping of workpiece and tool are essential.
- Wear safety goggles to protect against flying chips (boring).
- When working with spirit (to be used for aluminium) take precautions against fire - easily inflammable!

tool is found when

|[en] BACKGROUND: Physician's perception of quality of life of patients with cancer is unclear. No reports have evaluated its influence on patient management. METHODS: Five hundred otolaryngologists completed a questionnaire regarding the quality of life of patients with head and neck cancer. RESULTS: Seventy-eight percent of responders thought that quality of life must be considered when choosing treatment, even if this meant decreased survival. Seventy-five percent thought it justified to withhold curative treatment if this would lead to impaired quality of life. Pain and breathing were the most important symptoms to consider. The perception was worse for physicians practicing in Latin culture, working in private practice, or with no personal acquaintance with a head and neck cancer victim and was better after radiotherapy than after surgery and chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: Quality of life is important for physicians and is considered as essential as survival by many physicians. The perception of patient's quality of life influences the treatment choice.

Former Inter and Juventus Coach Giovanni Trapattoni cast his eye over today's Derby d'Italia, advising Antonio Conte to "stay in Serie A for a few years."
The two rival clubs go head-to-head this afternoon at 14.00 GMT, click here for a match preview.
"Inter-Juve and Bayern Munich-Juventus can be defined absolute classics of Serie A and the Champions League," the Republic of Ireland manager told Eurosport.
"Games like this are won thanks to details, as those are what make the difference. Why did I move from Juventus to Inter in 1986? I had already revamped that team three times and wanted to challenge myself against a new reality.
"Inter gave me different motivation and I just wanted a new experience. I must confess, when I faced Juventus for the first time as an Inter Coach, I was chatting to Michel Platini and without realising I sat on the Juventus bench. Force of habit."
Trapattoni won titles with both clubs – six at Juve, one record-breaking Scudetto with Inter – and is keeping tight-lipped on today's game.
"I never liked making predictions. It will be a very open game with an uncertain result."
The Nerazzurri have been struggling recently and Trap was asked about the rumours Andrea Stramaccioni will make way for Jose Mourinho's return.
"I don't think Andrea has lost his way. His Inter still needs reinforcements, but so far he has done well, giving the team shape. I am sure that thanks to him Inter will be able to identify the right buys for next season.
"I don't think Mourinho will return, nor does Massimo Moratti genuinely intend to bring him back. It seems inevitable that the papers talk about Mourinho whenever one of his former clubs is going through a bad patch."
Juventus are top of the Serie A table and through to the Champions League quarter-finals, but Conte expressed his irritation with the pressure in Italy and hinted at a move abroad.
"He has a strong side with a great collective and a clear and effective style of football. Antonio's work is excellent and he should continue with this team.
"Many years ago I was a young Coach achieving success and I had someone whispering in my ear that I should change country, even if at that time it was unusual," continued Trap.
"When I told a friend that I was going to Bayern Munich, he said I should watch out, as the more forests you travel in, the more wolves you find. He was right. Going abroad is a great unknown and before taking that step you need to have a lot of experience in Italy.
"I thought long and hard before leaving Serie A, so I suggest Conte do the same..."

Investments in Massachusetts startups rose as fast in July as the Red Sox have fallen in August. Venture investors poured some $215 million into a whopping 25 deals last month. That marked a 54 percent jump over the $139.5 million invested in 15 deals in June, according to data provided to Xconomy by ChubbyBrain, a New York-based information services company developing tools for investors, startups, and aspiring entrepreneurs.
In addition to the venture investments, last month saw a shade over $197 million worth of debt financings, led by an enormous $191 million deal by Newton, MA-based wind farm developer and operator First Wind. This was a tremendous rise over last month's two debt deals totaling $5.5 million.
See our tables of all July Bay State venture deals and debt financings on the second page of this post.
July's biggest venture deal was the $50 Series D round done by Burlington, MA-based ConforMIS. The company provides customized knee implants for patients based on CT or MRI scans. That easily topped the next biggest deal of the month, the $30 million Series B round for Waltham, MA-based Avila Therapeutics. The round was led by new investor the Novartis Option Fund, which also agreed to co-develop Avila's drugs for up to $200 million in upfront and future milestone payments.
Other highlights from the July ChubbyBrain data:
—The 25 venture investments spanned all stages, but nearly two-thirds involved early rounds, with 10 Series A deals and six Series B financings. That was a bit higher … Next Page »

Retailer credits new stores as turnover rises
Discount retailer TK Maxx has credited two new store openings -- in Galway and Portlaoise -- during its last financial year with helping to boost turnover at the company's Irish arm by nearly 8pc to €141.6m in the 12 months to the end of January last.
In accounts just filed for TJX Ireland, which trades as TK Maxx, the subsidiary revealed that operating profit at its 15 outlets here climbed 7.6pc to €26.6m for the period.
Directors noted in the accounts that overall growth was driven by a strong performance in the two new outlets, which between them accounted for more than €6m in sales during the financial year.
The Galway and Portlaoise stores opened in October last year. The company has opened one extra outlet this year, in Newbridge, Co Kildare.
The accounts noted that in July this year, a high court decision was passed to close the TK Maxx store in Waterford by the end of August on the grounds that only bulky goods were permitted to be sold at the Butlerstown retail park in which the outlet was based.
The store employed 60 people and the company has been scouting for an alternative location in the city.
The group employs close to 800 people.
Excluding motor sales, the value of retail sales slumped by 19pc between 2007 and September this year as consumers reined in spending amid the downturn and fears over job security.
Last week, the company's US parent, TJX, said its third-quarter profit rose 7pc to $372.3m (€278m) but predicted that like-for-like fourth-quarter revenues would probably fall slightly. Total revenue for the period rose 5pc to $5.5bn (€4.1bn).

UPDATE: Screencast posted on excess.org
The Linux Kernel Walkthrough sessions aim to give OCLUG members, and visitors, a guided tour of the Linux kernel. The meetings start with the MC, Bart Trojanowski, giving an overview of the topic, followed by a free form reading of the sources. Participants are encouraged to take lead of the event and steer the direction of the adventure.
This months kernel walkthrough topic will be "booting". Bart will start with a brief overview of PC hardware and software involved in bringing up a Linux system. He will then walk through what the Linux kernel does before the user is greeted by a login prompt.
Bart hopes that this meeting will attract people of different levels of knowledge and different areas of expertise, with individuals taking the floor to answer questions in their area of the kernel.
Bart Trojanowski is a Linux kernel hacker, currently self employed working for clients seeking Linux development and consulting services (www.jukie.net). When not hacking Linux drivers and embedded systems, he enjoys playing with his two kids.
See http://www.jukie.net/~bart/ for more info.
