Look no further.
It's the morning after the night before and you feel terrible, we've all been there! All you want is to get back to normal, as quickly as possible. Good job then that we've roadtested the most popular hangover cures, so you can find something to help you feel like yourself again.
Here's what works to sort that thumping head, settle a sicky stomach and put last night's spring back in to your step...
Hangover cure: BeroccaA tablet packed with essential vitamins and minerals that you dissolve in a glass of water.
Tester: Lifestyle Writer Eleanor Jones
The night before: A wedding with free-flowing champagne. And tequila. Ouch.
The morning after: Consumed fizzing orange Berocca on an HOUR LONG rail replacement bus, which was not my finest hour.
The verdict: I imagine on a lesser nightmare it would make a dent, but in this instance I still needed a serious amount of carbs before I felt human
again. 4/10
Hangover cure: Pear juice220ml fresh pear juice, or eating a couple of pears, before a night out can apparently help stave off the effects of alcohol the next day. Really?
Tester:Deputy Food Ed Sophie Austen-Smith.
The night before: Three glasses of prosecco and a large glass of red wine.
The morning after: Achy head and oh-so tired.
The verdict: Pure, fresh pear juice is hard to find and it didn't really help my hangover. I'll stick to the Alka-Seltzer. 4/10
Hangover cure: Fry upThe biggest plate you can find in your kitchen cupboard, piled high with fried goods such as egg, mushrooms, beans, hash browns and toast. Eat the morning after the night before and finish the lot.
Tester: Digital Content Editor Jessica Dady
The night before: One glass of white wine with dinner and three vodka lemonades to get the party started.
The morning after: Fragile and hungry - SO hungry.
The verdict: It kept the hangover at bay for about an hour or two after eating but then it was back to the drawing board raiding the fridge for more carbs and sweet treats. But any excuse to eat a full English and not feel guilty is okay by me. 5/10
Hangover cure: Coffee... and more coffee!Drag yourself to the kettle. Make a mug of instant coffee and down it in one. Repeat.
Tester: Associate Editor Sarah Allard.
The night before: Two glasses of prosecco and countless gin and tonics.
The morning after What's that thumping sound? Oh, it's in my head.
The verdict: Great for that initial burst of energy first thing, but the buzz wears off too quickly. Maybe if it was administered through an IV drip, I'd be OK... 5/10
Hangover cure: Electrolyte drinkSports drinks are great for maintaining the body's balance of electrolytes after dehydration when you're exercising, so applying the same theory to rehydrate your thirsty cells after a night on the booze should work... right? My weapon of choice: Lucozade.
Tester: Social Media Editor Becky Coyne
The night before: A couple (ok, more than a couple) of glasses of white wine and Prosecco.
The morning after: A slightly woozy 'wine head.'
The verdict: The Lucozade took an edge off things, and gave me a nice burst of energy before doing a 10k walk (not my usual Sunday), but paracetamol will still be my go-to in future. 6/10
Hangover cure: Late night kebabExperts suggest a chicken shish - the meat helps restore the liver's amino acids and the salad provides vitamins. But, if I'm having a kebab at 2am, it's got to be a doner.
Tester: Features Writer Anna Matheson.
The night before: Cocktails, then wine with dinner and two (OK, four!) G&Ts.
The morning after: The room was still spinning when I got out of bed and I felt more than a little unsteady on my feet.
The verdict: I was a little queasy and needed a shower to feel less greasy, but I'd have felt worse if I'd gone to bed on an empty stomach. 6/10
Hangover cure: A banana breakfastBananas are gentle on the stomach when you're feeling delicate and they'll help replace vital electrolytes and potassium lost while out on the lash.
Tester: Assistant Editor Steph Lowe.
The night before: Two glasses of white wine, two G&Ts and a tequila shot.
The morning after:Banging headache, mouth like a sandy flip-flop and unsettled stomach.
The verdict: Twenty minutes after eating the banana and downing a glass of water, I felt more human. Cheap, easy, effective.
Hangover cure: Irn BruPacked with sugar, caffeine and iron, the Scots' national drink is best drunk from a glass bottle alongside a greasy brekkie.
Tester: Assistant Editor Carrie Mitchell.
The night before: Half a bottle of prosecco, four large G&Ts, and one whisky... I was in Edinburgh on a hen do!
The morning after: Pounding head, trembles and a dose of hangover blues.
The verdict: A full Scottish breakfast and a bottle of the fizzy stuff and I was back on the wine by 7pm! 8/10
Hangover cure: Paracetamol and water BEFORE bedTwo tablets washed down with a pint of water tackles the headache and the dehydration before they've even started.
Tester: Designer Christina Gubbins.
The night before: Two mojitos and half a bottle of red wine.
The morning after: Slightly groggy, but not as bad as my hangovers usually are.
The verdict: I've tried many so-called hangover 'cures' and nothing works as well as this. It's my new failsafe solution when I've been out on the booze. 9/10

Transportation shortcomings
I recently was an independent traveler to Juneau, from the afternoon of June 28 until the night of June 30. By "independent traveler" I mean I was traveling alone and was without transportation.

Entertaining suggestion
Entertainment is the Borg of the 21st century - resistance is futile: You will be assimilated. It has long been observed that politics is merely the entertainment branch of industry, and all are aware of the slide of the news into infotainment.
Dangers of Baranof Island
Contrary to some news stories about the large group that just attempted to cross Baranof Island, there is no trail across the island, only a trail from Medvedje Lake to another lake about four miles in. The sizable glacier on Mount Bassie was left off the USGS topo maps and all other maps. I informed USGS of this and received a letter acknowledging the error and saying it will be corrected if new maps are made. No new maps have been made since the 1960s. That glacier is breaking up and has become more dangerous to cross. People crossing snow-covered, crevassed glaciers should be roped up.

Bare cupboard
The president's tax cut has begun to limit his ability to deliver even on his own campaign promises.

Several blockbuster movies, television shows and commercials have depicted the discovery of an asteroid heading towards Earth and usually, somehow, impending doom is averted. But how do the discoveries of Near Earth Objects really happen? Asteroid 2012 BX34 buzzed by Earth last week, and even though this small asteroid was never considered a threat to Earth, its discovery still piqued the interest of the public. It was discovered by Alex Gibbs, an astronomer and software engineer from the Catalina Sky Survey. Universe Today asked Gibbs to share his experiences of being an asteroid hunter and what it was like to find this latest NEO that made the Top-20 list of closest approaches to Earth.
The Catalina Sky Survey is a research program at the University of Arizona and is part of the Spaceguard Survey, a NASA project to discover and catalog Earth-approaching and Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs).
When astronomers look through telescopes, asteroids dont look much different from stars they are just points of light. But these points of light are moving; however they are moving slow enough that to detect the motion, astronomers take a series of images, usually four images spaced 10-12 minutes apart.
Then, the observers run specialized software to examine their images for any star-like objects that are moving from one image to the next. The software removes any candidates that correspond to known objects or main-belt asteroids.
Gibbs said the software has a low detection threshold to avoid missing anything, so the observer looks over what the software found and determines which are real. The remaining objects that the software determines could be interesting are then sent in to the Minor Planet Center (MPC) at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for the team or others to follow up.
Gibbs said his discovery images of 2012 BX34 were taken at 10:30 UT (3:30 am in Tucson) on January 25, 2012. He was using a Schmidt telescope on Mount Bigelow. At the time, the object was 1.8 million km away, moving 1.15 degrees/day across the sky, and at 20th magnitude.
On the night of discovery, Gibbs said 2012 BX34 seemed just like most of the NEOs they find. But something unusual happened the following night.
No one seemed to be able to find it, Gibbs said via email. That happens sometimes, but it should have been pretty easy for the observatories that were looking. When my colleague, Rik Hill, found a new object nearby I was suspicious that it might be the same object. The objects rapid increase in brightness and apparent motion had made it difficult to recognize as the same object.
When Gibbs put the two observations together he could tell they were the same object. But more importantly, he also could tell the object was going to come fairly close to Earth.
Thats when I emailed the MPC to point out that they were the same object, Gibbs said.
Even though this is what Gibbs does for a living, certainly there must be a certain thrill (or butterflies in the stomach) when it is realized one of these NEOs is coming fairly close to Earth?
We realized it was going to come pretty close, but wouldnt impact, Gibbs said. I knew it was small enough that it would disintegrate if it did, so although I was excited, I was also a little disappointed that it wasnt going to put on more of a show. But I definitely prefer this to it being TOO flashy!
The software at the MPC also figured out this asteroid was coming close, and just like in the movies, astronomer Gareth Williams, associate director of the MPC, was aroused from his sleep in the middle of the night by a pager message. But, said Williams in an interview with the BBC, when I saw the miss distance was going to be 10 Earth radii, I said thats too far for me to get up, so I rolled over and went back to sleep.
That explains why the emails I exchanged with him later on were so short, Gibbs said.
At its closest approach, on January 27 15:15 UT, 2012 BX34 was 59,600 km from the Earths surface, moving 729 deg/day, appearing at 14th magnitude, which is 250 times brighter than when Gibbs first saw it.
Gibbs said it is common for discoveries to be followed up by others astronomers, though its not a rigid practice.
Whenever we find something moving in an interesting way we send it to the Minor Planet Center, as do all the other surveys, he said. The MPC publishes the objects on their public NEO Confirmation Page. Various parties then follow the objects up, both pros and amateurs. Whether an object is deemed interesting or not is primarily determined by software that looks at the motion and brightness, though we can often tell when we see it. We also submit anything that appears to have cometary features.
As of January 29, 2012, 8,648 Near-Earth objects have been discovered, with about 840 of these NEOs being asteroids with a diameter of approximately 1 kilometer or larger. Also, 1,284 of these NEOs have been classified as PHAs.
NEOs are ones that come within 1.3 AU of the Sun (since the Earth is at 1 AU it means they pass through our neighborhood), Gibbs said. PHAs are those that are larger than about 150 m (500 ft) and come within 0.05 AU of Earths orbit, so that at some point in the future they may cross paths. (See more info on PHAs here)
The large asteroids are much brighter than objects like 2012 BX34, Gibbs said. We see them as they orbit the Sun, and can determine if they are likely to come close to the Earth at some point. That gives us a lot more time to do something about an impact from the most dangerous asteroids. However, we ought to be doing more to catalog all the asteroids that could potentially take out a city or cause a tsunami. We are finding them now, but not fast enough. An asteroid impact is one of the few predictable and potentially preventable natural disasters.
Even though asteroid 2012 BX34 was one of the top-20 closest approaches by an asteroid, its size made it a non-issue. While bus-sized sounds pretty big, this is small enough that it would break apart and burn up in the atmosphere. Instead, it passed by harmlessly.
But a close fly-by like this one serves to remind people that asteroids of all sizes do come by the Earth, said Gibbs. We need to be vigilant.
As for Gibbs, he is back at his job of asteroid hunting, and tonight will be scanning the skies from a larger telescope on Mt. Lemmon in Arizona.

Hi, I am a Belgian agnostic who studies Latin and English, Linguistics and literature. I'm also interested in anything connected to history, mythology, philosophy, folklore... and games of course.
genious, but it lacks an English version (english text+ voices) I've also had some problems while playing. Still it is a very impressive mod.

Nintendo and its games consoles have been a part of our lives for some considerable time with the Game Boy, Game Cube, DS, Wii and 3DS all trotting through our house as the years have rolled on by. I've been happy to give them house room with their family friendly games and the children's childhoods were happily spent in the company of Mario, Luigi and Zelda. It was no surprise then that when I was asked if we would like to write a review of the new Wii U, I wasn't allowed to say no!
I've chosen to review with the expert help of my two older boys as they can explain it all better than I can (my daughter could too but, as she has been in rehearsals for two different theatre shows every night for the last two weeks, she hasn't had much chance to play on it yet!) T is 17, O is nearly 16 and I am 46 – here are our thoughts!
Wii U Nintendo Land Premium Pack Review (and a couple of extras)
We were sent the Nintendo Land Premium Pack which includes a 32gb black Wii U console, the black game pad and all the accessories you need to get it hooked up along with a copy of Nintendo Land.
We also looked at 2 other games.
Nintendo Land
Nintendo land is a collection of small single and multi-player games designed to show what the Wii U and its controller can do which is new and different.
T: Most of the games are very, very good, especially the multi-player ones. All of these are eminently playable regardless of skill level so it is entirely possible to play with young children or old parents.
O: A few simple games designed to show how the system works, Nintendo Land is great fun for everyone, with games ranging from shooting robot aliens to playing hide and seek with Mario. The more people the better.
Me: Old parents? How rude! Nice and simple though and lots of fun – there was a lot of laughter.
Wii Party U
Wii Party U is a collection of multi-player minigames tied together within different frameworks depending upon the game mode; we particularly enjoyed the "board" game!
T: Although the gamepad is mostly shunned in favour of traditional Wii remotes for most minigames the games are all very accessible for anyone regardless of age.
O: A board game with added hilarity, Wii Party U is great for people who aren't very good at games and entertaining for those who are. Mum beat me! I didn't even know that was possible. You move forwards more depending on how well you do in the competitive mini games, but several things, such as squares that allow you to help the person in last to move up or gates to slow down the people in first, allow for a well-balanced game.
Me: Age mentioned AGAIN…this time because, despite my lagging way behind throughout the game we were playing I stormed ahead with my triumphant completion of the knitting stage – KNITTING on the Wii U?! Genius! It was while we were playing this game that I became a total convert, not just because I WON, but because I realised that four of us aged from 46 down to 7 were all happily playing a board game together where none of us were penalised due to our age (young OR old) and that we were interacting just as we would with a traditional board game laid out on the floor or table. Did I mention that I WON?
New Super Mario Bros U
T: It's a Mario Bros game. So it's very, very good as is to be expected. The multi-player in particular is very enjoyable, although it can get pretty hectic and frustrating at times with more than two people playing. Although it isn't massively difficult playing multi-player with someone of a different skill level it can be a bit more so than in the other games. Thankfully there is no real penalty for someone else's failure. It's fun, it's good, it's well designed, pretty and varied – thoroughly recommended.
O: It's Mario. There isn't really much more to say; Jump on the heads of grumpy mushrooms and get to the end of the level. By far the best feature is the co-op play, in which two to four players play on the same screen and try not to accidentally knock each other down bottomless pits. Thankfully death isn't a huge problem, and the levels are very well designed, so don't expect anything unreasonable.
Me: I didn't win. T did give up on me when we were all playing together though, lifted me onto his virtual shoulders and carried me at speed through the levels because I was holding them all up. I like the social aspect of multi player games, we were all chatting, urging each other on and laughing – a lot!
Off TV Play
T: Thanks to the Wii U's unique controller it is possible to access most of its features using only the controller's built in screen without needing to even turn on the television. This is ideal if using a shared television set, allowing the user to continue playing while someone else watches something on television. It works very well with no real noticeable lag, so long as you don't stray too far from the console itself.
O: Using the Gamepad tablet without the TV basically just lets someone else use the TV without kicking you off the game, as was an issue with the old Wii. Over the years I've had to replay loads that I lost from getting switched off by Dad (or I just refused to get off – either worked). Most new games work with the Gamepad's screen, and it even has a headphone jack.
Me: This is the special bit, the thing which marks out the Wii U as something a bit different and it's the thing which means that the whole family can be in the same room doing different things but still together. I'd rather my teens were sprawled all over the furniture in the same room as me than isolated on screens in their bedrooms. This is why I am a little bit in love with this gadget.
T: This is Nintendo's own social network. It provides boards upon which users can communicate about the games they play through drawing pictures and small Twitter style text messages. The communities all revolve around games. Astonishingly Nintendo has managed to ensure that these communities are 100% safe for children; it is impossible to post swears, rude pictures or anything offensive at all. Consequently it is one of the safest and most pleasant forums for online interaction I think I've ever used.
O: Imagine a version of Facebook, but without the trolls and risk of viral pictures of you with jokes written on them. Miiverse is a game focussed social network with great moderation and no ability to post photos, so your kids are much safer. I've used it a bit, and no one is ever rude, and I've heard that anything rude that does get on gets taken down incredibly quickly. Also, you can just ban your kids from it in the parental controls settings if you would rather they didn't use it.
Me: It really is as nice as it sounds, it adds a level of safe social interaction which we would be happy for Bonus Boy to use if he wanted to.
T: Digital content is becoming more and more prevalent and, thankfully, Nintendo has created a simple and sensible digital store from which to purchase games as downloads. Many of the games are priced to compete with their retail counterparts and, much like the Wii and 3DS, their virtual console service allows users to purchase and play games from their previous systems. My only complaint would be that at present these older titles are somewhat lacking in quantity especially when compared to the Wii's enormous retro game library.
O: Nintendo have had an online shop since the original Wii, but this one is actually fast and easy to use, although the downloads can take a while. The list of games on there is fairly large, and if you had a favourite game from the NES or SNES back in the 80s or 90s, it may be on there for a reasonably low price. A fair few new games can also be downloaded in the same way. Just bear in mind that the Wii U doesn't come with a huge amount of digital storage space so you may want to buy some large memory sticks for it if you want to download full retail titles regularly.
Me: I have nothing more to add!
T: As a service Netflix needs no introduction and on the Wii U it is as intuitive and quick as one could hope for. The Wii U does, unfortunately, lack an ethernet port so if you have a slow wireless connection it may not be as whizzy as you might hope, but over our relatively slow connection it ran just fine. The menus are quick and easy to navigate with the controller and the interface is only really rivalled by mouse input on a computer when it comes to skipping. It is also entirely possible to watch anything on the controller in off TV play, which is as great as it sounds!
O: A while back, Dad bought a Blu-ray player, which he now uses exclusively for Netflix. It was a great idea to get onto the Netflix service, but when we tested the Wii U version, we found that it was loads better for using it than the Blu-ray player. It also isn't that much more expensive, and it plays games. The only downside is it doesn't play Blu-rays, but we only have about 3 anyway, so that isn't a problem.
Me: We've had Netflix for a while watching it through our BluRay player – it works substantially faster on the Wii U which means I don't have to grumble at the load times nearly as much which makes for a calmer TV watching experience!
Extra Points to Note
- All the old Wii remotes and most of the accessories (eg the balance board) are compatible with the console – old remotes are therefore very desirable if you want to play multi player games as remotes are not included in the package
- Old Wii games are compatible
- It's Nintendo but with pretty HD graphics, very easy on the eyes, it's fab!

This is the category for weight loss related topics
Do limitations exist? I´m sure it´s easy to answer yes to this question based on situations you may have experienced or are currently experiencing. This story may help you think again.
Sami Stoner is a runner. Even with a rare eye disease, called Stargardt´s disease, which causes blindness, she still runs. While this story has been around for awhile, and Stoner has since graduated from high school, it still bears repeating.
Even though Stoner was deemed legally blind, she ran cross country in high school. With just a bit of peripheral vision, she traversed the trails with her guide dog, Chloe.
In 1977, Rick Hoyt, who was born with cerebral palsy and is quadriplegic told his dad he wanted to participate in a 5 mile charity run to honor a schoolmate who had been paralyzed in an accident. Rick really wanted to do something for him, and what he wanted to do was run. Obviously, he couldn't run, but his dad could – and he could do it pushing Rick along the way. Rick wanted his schoolmate to know, life goes on, even if you're paralyzed. Rick and his dad have gone on to participate in 1,108 endurance events, as of April 2014.
Rick's schoolmate inspired Rick to action, and Rick inspired his dad to action. At age 36, Rick's dad, Dick took up running and hasn't looked back. This is the small, yet enormous effect we can all have on each other. One story – One person – Can change your whole life.
Kayla Montgomery is one of the fastest young distance runners in the country. She also has Multiple Sclerosis. Because of this disease, she can't feel the pain in her legs while she runs long distances. She's unable to control the finish when she breaks the motion. Her legs become numb, and as she crosses the finish line, she needs someone to catch her fall. That someone is her coach.
Coach Patrick Cromwell waits for her at the finish to literally catch her in his arms. Then, they begin an ice treatment, so she can regain sensation in her legs.
While the internal benefits, and yes aesthetic benefits of losing weight can be worth their weight in gold, establishing a reward system can also be beneficial to reinforce positive behavior change. Studies show rewards that are personal in nature help you to stay motivated and create long-term habits. Other studies have shown a link between financial incentives and weight loss. Whatever it is that inspires you, utilizing incentives can make the path to weight loss a little more rewarding.
In a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in April of 2013, Kullgren and his colleagues utilized a group-based and individual financial incentive system for weight loss. In a group of 105 obese participants, each participant's weight loss goal was 4 pounds every 4 weeks for a total of 24 weeks. The difference between groups came in the distribution of financial resources. Incentives included $100 for each participant who met or exceeded his/her weight loss goals. However, while those in the individual group would receive the $100 for meeting or exceeding goals, those in the group structure would receive $500 if any of the 5 members met or exceeded weight loss goals – to be divided equally among all members who met or exceeded his/her goals.
Do you know how to set a good goal? One you can stick to and achieve?
Many people are struggling to lose weight, because they don't know how to carry out their plans even when they have the best intentions to do so.
One of the best ways to lose weight and achieve your goals is to write them down. Make them concrete. This can move you from wishful thinking to tangible results!
There are two types of goals. Outcome goals and process goals. Both are equally important. An outcome goal might be to lose 50 pounds, while a process goal could be to eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. The outcome goal gives you an end point, while the process goal is a step along the way. Process goals are your roadmap to success.
Can you believe it is spring already? Where does the time go?
This is the perfect season for rejuvenation and growth. Not only is it a good time to check in and see how everything is going with your weight loss goals, it is also a great time to set the stage for your next phase of growth.
Before the year trudges on any further, let's talk about re-committing to or rearranging current plans, since the majority of people who make New Year's Resolutions do not achieve them.
If you are struggling to lose weight, here are some ideas to revitalize your efforts:
How do you lose weight AND keep it off? This is really the issue, isn't it? Many of us go through ups and downs in life, and it's not uncommon for our weight to follow suit. While it's true many people have difficulty keeping the weight off once it's disappeared, there are systems you can put in place to sustain your progress. After all, weight maintenance is a lifelong process not a one-time event. Even if you're not in a position right now to sustain weight loss, you may benefit from knowing what it is people do to both lose the weight and keep it off. It's all about what you do NOW that can begin to change your future.
First of all, research shows those who keep track of their behaviors are more likely to take weight off and keep it off. This may include tracking your exercise, your meal plans, or even how often you eat. Writing it down will help you see exactly what's going on. Start by choosing a target area – something that's been giving you a hard time, or something you want to work on. Is there a particular part of the day you find yourself snacking more? Is exercise harder for you during certain times of the day or even certain times of the year? Where exactly do you slip when you get off course? Beginning to target certain areas like this can provide the awareness to move in the right direction.
What can you do today to set the foundation for sustainable results?
In order to lose weight, you need to manage the balance of calories in versus calories out. If you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight. Conversely, if you eat less calories than you burn, you lose weight. However, you can't just starve or deprive yourself beyond what is healthy and expect to lose weight. We all need a set number of calories/day to meet our basic needs. It's a delicate balance.
Do you know how many calories you eat during the course of a day? A three day food log can help you get a handle on what you're putting into your mouth. See if you can commit to tracking what you eat for three days without adjusting anything, so you can get an honest look at your starting point. Write down what you eat, what time you eat, and any other notes such as how you are feeling, so you can get a sense of your own personal food patterns. This is simply an act of observance. You don't need to judge yourself for where you are.
There are numerous ways to reach your weight loss goals. While there are a myriad of programs available to help you burn fat, increase strength, and lose weight, the formula for weight loss really comes down to two things: physical activity and nutrition. However, losing weight and keeping it off remains a battle for so many, so there must be more to the story. For now, we will keep it simple and focus on exercise and finding time.
Many people think they don't have enough time to exercise. As the demands of life increase, the desire for and practicality of fitting in a good exercise session decrease. Let's face it, the pace of our society keeps getting faster and faster. This can lead to stress, a whole host of health conditions, and yes, weight gain.
So, let's be real. We don't have time not to exercise. While the following guidelines are basic and general in nature, they are meant to give you a sense of just how much time is needed to prevent weight gain, lose weight, and maintain your weight loss.

Slate and Shell is one of the most well known publishers and distributors of Go books in English. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before I arrived at their home page.
Their Go books contain a nice variety that cover most of the major topics you'd hope to see at a site that exclusively sells Go books. As one of Kiseido's competitors, they pretty much have everything you might expect from Kiseido and probably a little more. This is not to be much of a surprise since their market is the English literate population.
I ordered three books: How Not to Play Go, Understanding How to Play Go, and Understanding Dan Level Play by Zhou Yuan. The shipping was only $5.00 and they did not disappoint since I received my order within a week (ordered on the 21st of August, and it arrived around the 25th).
In comparison to Kiseido, I'd have to say that their e-mail confirmation was far more professional and comforting.
Here's a screenshot of Slate and Shell's….
Here's a screenshot of Kisedo's…
As you can see, DRASTIC difference. (Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy Kiseido's books. It's just they could do a better job on not making me worry that I've just handed my information over to a Grade C hacker.)
Slate and Shell has a great selection of books at great prices. In addition to the typical Go books that you will expect to pay around $25.00 for (e.g. dictionaries of tesuji), Slate and Shell offers a nice selection of books in the lower price range (e.g. How Not to Play Go by Yuan Zhou $10.00) that still contain quality information.

Semi Private ceremony in Punta Cana?
Posted 16 September 2008 - 06:59 PM
My finance and I finally decided on Punta Cana for our wedding. However, we have yet to select a resort. What I really want is a place where the ceremony can be at least semi private. Some of the places we have looked at set up the wedding right next to the volleyball court on the beach or the gazebo is right by the pool. Does anyone have any suggestions about where to go? We also need it to be kid friendly. Please Help!
Some of the places we are considering are:
Occidental Grand
Paradisus Punta Cana
Majestic Colonial
Melia Caribe Tropical
Edenh Real
Posted 17 September 2008 - 07:18 AM
Also, we had a beach reception, but it was 100% private b/c the put up palm fronds around the exterior, which made it impossible for people to see into the reception unless they happened to walk by along the shoreline of the beach.
I highly recommend both of those options. We - and our guests - continue to rave about it.
Here are a few pics:
Notice the palm fronds behind the buffett table for reception privatization.

I am sure you can do a reception area near the gazebo .... but it's kind of hilly there, and deeper sand. Our reception was in an area a little farther down, where the volleyball court is during the day, so the wooden deck was our dance floor.
Are you just planning to do the dances at the gazebo, or the whole reception?
Can't wait to see pics of the wedding! It will bring back such memories!!!

Paradisus Punta Cana, The best and my personal choice for my sons special day.Beautiful gazebo on a private part of the resort and beach
Majestic Colonial, nice gazebo but in front of the lobby. Also it's a wedding factory. over 3 weddings per day. Beach pictures include guys in speedos be careful
Dreams. Gazebo is in front of the lobby and not private,gazebo has no breeze and is very hot
Iberostar, Older resort,not recomended for a wedding
Melia Caribe Tropical. Very nice but resort is to big
Edenh Real, wedding department is not ready, 4 different coordinators in less then 10 months. No Gazebo only beach wedding and if it rains all they have is lobby to offer

I thought I saw something in the information they sent us about an outdoor, covered terrace. Thanks again for all of the info. I'm sure I will be posting many more questions.

The resident manager is actually a friend our our family and I would never want to put his resort down. I was only comparing my own personal opinion of the stated resorts for wedding options. The resort while older is actually verty very clean and the grounds are beautifully manicured. I was so not impressed with the buffet and the line ups there where horrific. But if you book Royal Club they do have a very nice private restaurent on the beach and the rooms are very quaint.
Again I am so sorry if i upset you, I am sure your wedding will be very beautiful. Please let me know if you want my friends name at the resort if you need anything at all he can help you.
I hope I didn't make you feel bad for posting your opinion, it just kinda threw me to see that. Thanks again for the post, I appreciate it.
Good luck planning!

Hello Foxy,
Thanks for the review, your pictures look beautiful! My fiance and I are trying to decide on a resort for our wedding next April and are strongly considering the Paradisus Punta Cana. I just have a couple of concerns that I thought you might be able to clear up for me. I friend who has visited the resort recently has told me that she did not see a disco, however, the resort website says they do have a weekend disco? We are hoping to partake in some nightly dancing and debauchery. Is this the place for us?
Also, we would like to have our reception on the beach as well but I'm wondering if sand fleas are an issue in the evening?
Any insight on these issues would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think this is a styling issue, except in special cases. The difference between "3.2" as a version number and as a decimal number is not a matter of rendering but of meaning. As I wrote previously, it could affect other things than just speech rendering, such as translation. The problem is that authors probably wouldn't use <number> markup consistently, so it would not be possible to decide that, say, "3.2" is _not_ a decimal number.

Emergency Psychiatry and Mental Health Policy: An International Point of View
It is argued that the provision of health services does not appear to meet the needs of the population, and it is clear that strategies implemented by the majority of countries healthcare systems are not offering adequate solutions to deal with the problem facing modern societies today. This text contains A comprehensive compilation of experiences and opinions from individuals who suffer from psychiatric disorder. Their reports serve as a catalyst that will facilitate the development of emergency psychiatry, which in turn will be beneficial to general psychiatry and to medicine as a whole. This volume testifies to the rich experiences acquired and the increase in the specific interventions and the techniques required to treat psychiatric problems. The book reveals the methological and ideological variety that characterizes emergency psychiatry today.

Rockwell Collins Vies for 777X Work to Trump HoneywellThomas Black
Rockwell Collins Inc., successful in wresting work from Honeywell International Inc. on one Boeing Co. jet, seeks to repeat that victory as the planemaker upgrades its biggest twin-engine model.
The new contest is shaping up over cockpit avionics as Boeing starts developing the 777X, the next variant of its popular 777, said Rockwell Collins President Kelly Ortberg, 53, who will become chief executive officer at the end of next month. Honeywell is the incumbent on the existing jet.
"On the current 777, we don't have a lot of standard equipment," Ortberg said yesterday in an interview at the Paris Air Show. "It's surely a market-share-gain opportunity."
Winning contracts for cockpit avionics would be a prize because the 777 is Boeing's best-selling twin-engine wide-body model. Boeing chose Cedar Rapids, Iowa-based Rockwell Collins in November to provide cockpit displays for the 737 Max, an update of the world's best-selling airliner, displacing Honeywell.
"We have a long-standing and successful partnership with Boeing, delivering a portfolio of technologies to its aircraft that extends well beyond avionics," Bill Kircos, a Honeywell spokesman, said in an e-mail. "We will aggressively compete in any future opportunities."
He declined to comment specifically on the 777X work.
Marc Birtel, a Boeing spokesman, said it's too early in the 777X's development to comment on the avionics contract.
Last Chance
The 777 program may be the last chance for years for either Rockwell Collins or Honeywell to win such a contract. After adding wide-body planes and refreshing their single-aisle models, neither Boeing nor Airbus SAS is likely to start work soon on another commercial plane, Ortberg said.
He didn't give a value on the work for the new 777. Cockpit avionics, which include display screens and flight management systems, are part of Rockwell Collins's commercial business, which accounted for 45 percent of the company's $4.73 billion in fiscal 2012 sales, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Rockwell Collins has the avionics on Airbus's A350, which had its first flight last week, and on Boeing's 787 Dreamliner. The cockpit displays offered by Rockwell Collins on the 737 Max were similar to those it provides for the 787.
Rockwell Collins may have a leg up on competitors for the 777X work if Boeing wants displays similar to those on the Dreamliners and the 737 Max, said Ortberg, whose company only has the autopilot system on the current 777.
Business Jets
Even as contract opportunities for new commercial planes slow, work is under way on new business jets, especially the largest models, said Ortberg, who will succeed retiring CEO Clay Jones, 64.
"There's still quite a few biz jets that are unannounced that are in the development phase, and we're working on several development programs now," Ortberg said. "Across the marketplace, everybody continued to invest through the cycle with new products."
Ortberg said he will focus on increasing international military sales when he takes over, with a goal of boosting those to 35 percent of the defense unit's revenue in five years from 28 percent now. Brazil, India and Middle East nations provide the most opportunity, he said.
The defense business, which makes up about half Rockwell Collins's sales, produces surveillance systems, precision-guided munitions and other military equipment.
International sales will help offset weakness in the U.S. defense business, which will decline in 2014 and be unchanged in 2015. By 2017, that business will track the inflation rate with growth of 1 percent to 2 percent a year, Ortberg said.

Change just one thing about the way you think and every area of your life will get better, especially in the area of business and career.
In business we care way too much about what others think of us.
When making really critical career decisions we often look to others for career advice. Others can't really give you the best advice. They always see things from their own perspective and through the filters of their own fears.
You'd be far better off to quit worrying about others and begin following inspirational career quotes like these.
Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire. ~ Dale Carnegie
Excuse me Mr. Carnegie but how about one step better than that? Why not accomplish something big instead of simply trying to?
Why should my happiness depend on the thoughts going on in someone else's head? ~ Emerson
The right answer is – it shouldn't. What someone else thinks, says or does, really has no bearing on your happiness unless you accept it as your truth.
You are the best the very best judge of what makes you happy.
You are the very best source of wisdom for your own career and life.
You, your thoughts, your choices and your actions determine your results.
There is a special livelihood calling you that you can turn into a business and make it successful because of your unique core makeup and life experience.
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. ~ Dr. Seuss
The opinion of others only counts if you decide to make it part of your identity.
Claim your freedom from the tyranny of outside opinion. Declare your freedom today.

You mean matching only from the start?
Your sorting technique sounds clever, but the sorting itself isn't constant, I suppose something like O(n*log(n)).
IMHO the fastest solution should be a trie, if it's worth the overhead depends on the number of words to search.
Another simpler approach is abusing the regex engine, because from 5.10 on it has internal trie optimization and is f*ckingly fast!
thats untested pseudo-code I hope you get the idea! =)

The Word Rejected Longing to be Read

"My people perish for lack of knowledge. My people perish for lacking the desire for knowledge. My people perish for the knowledge they receive is rarely the truth revealed by Me. Delusions and perversions of truth are raging throughout the land; they're as common as the Sunday morning preaching about prosperity, and as regular as the constant complacency that goes un-reigned throughout My congregations. A revealing of truth is a necessity, but this revealing of truth is the one thing lacking by those who claim to know Me.
And who am I? I am the Word of Life. I am the Word that gives life that's so often despised. I am the Word that men pass by; that they deny; that they do not desire. How many countless times do they precariously proclaim matrimony to Me, but fail to obey the words I say? My bride does not love Me.
For if they loved Me wouldn't they love the words I say? Wouldn't they love the laws from My mouth and the commandments that promise peace and safety? Wouldn't they devote their oaths to none other than the One above and find no boredom or distaste in spending time diligently reading Me? Wouldn't there be excitement about My testimonies and awe and fascination at My miraculous moving? If My sheep loved Me wouldn't they feed upon Me, not needing to be forced to gaze upon My face?
I'm weary. How I long to be desired. I sent the Son of My love to mankind, but Him they didn't recognize. I sent the knowledge of My love through My written word to the earth, and these pages are disdained. What more do I need to say? Every word of My desire is writ with affection for man to seek and know Me. Every token of comfort, hope, grace, strength, peace, safety and surety of faith, are there for man to read solely to reveal Me. But it takes too much energy to delve into Me or too much time. I am not desired.
My Words promise life. I am Life. Come and eat from Me and you will find the fullness of all you need.
Do you know what it feels like to watch one you love die? To look in their eyes and see death overtaking their hopeless frames? To see the wickedness of sin consume their bellies and lead them to the pits of flames? Do you know what it feels like to have within your possession the key to ones eternity and peace, but lack any ability to cause them to receive such a blessing? I do; and I weep, groaning in My Spirit day and night for men to come to know Me-not just so they'd have salvation- but so that they'd be fully alive on the inside, fully believing My love and desire, fully knowing their identity in Me and who I am to them.
Man though doesn't want to know the Lord. Pews are filled on Sunday, but no time is spent with Me any other day. I am not a duty. I am a Husband, a Father, a Lover. See Me when you read Me. I'm revealed when you seek Me daily. I deliver man from their meaningless wanderings and cleanse and perfect their perpetual iniquities. Father, let My word sanctify and change man!
I want to be known. Open Me and dive inside into the depths of My desire. This is the only way to not be lead astray by the deceiver of mankind who is about to fool the world with a false gospel of Christ. Do you know the truth? Read Me; see Me; reveal Me. I want to be known intimately."

Some good stuff from Begeistert 026, the recurring get-together for BeOS and now Haiku programmers. A lot of work is being done on the debugger, the Auckland Layout Editor (which sounds very impressive), and the Haiku port to ARM. Haiku on ARM is getting closer and closer to booting - for now it ends up in Kernel Debugging Land (a kernel panic).

There's more than just Raspbian (which I've found to be a tad unstable). There are at least two XBMC flavors for it, though there seems to be some contention between the two groups. Arch Linux is very solid on the Pi, and much faster than anything else. Bodhi Linux also released an image for it; I haven't tested it yet but I've heard good things.
Outside of GNU/Linux, there is the RiscOS port that was reported on here not long ago, as well as some bare metal OS coding examples if you're really deep into that stuff.

All relationships tend to go through phases, when you're in love with someone, you want to spend every waking minute with them. Then when you're comfortable with them you tend to focus on other things. It sounds like you've hit the comfortable stage where things are going well and he's paying more attention to his boarding than to you. This of course drives you crazy and you're perfectly within your rights to say, "We need to hang out more together" and make him pay more attention to you. But his boarding does not mean that he's bored with you. It just means he has a fun new thing to do for a while, and when he gets bored of it, he'll come back to you.
Trust him when he says he's not bored. If he wanted to break up with you, he would have. Don't dump him just because you're scared that he will. Just have patience that he'll come around again.
Good luck!

Stevie J Allegedly Expecting With A Mystery Woman
Is a standout star from 'Love and Hip Hop' Atlanta expecting a baby with a woman who's not his baby mama nor his prized stripper turned fiancée? That's the rumor that's swirling today after a tipster contacted rollingout with news of Stevie J's latest doggish ways. J, who previously confirmed that he has more baby's mothers than Lil Wayne (5 to be exact), is said to have impregnated yet another woman, Tammie Grant.
According to a source, the ex-wife of former NBA player Gary Grant is with child from the ex-boyfriend of Mimi Faust turned would-be fiancé of Joseline Hernandez. And while Tammie and Stevie reportedly only recently became romantically involved, they are thrilled with their "planned pregnancy" and have had talks of marriage. The couple is said to want to keep their relationship details "private."
While we're still waiting to hear confirmation on this rumored "secret child" story, rollingout can confirm one element of the pair's relationship.

What's behind Karachi airport attack?
By Imtiaz Gul
CNN, June 09, 2014
Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- The brazen terrorist assault on Pakistan's largest Karachi Airport that began near midnight Sunday left almost everybody stunned.
It was the Pakistani Taliban's biggest strike on state security apparatus -- in terms of human casualties -- and is a reminder of the massive security challenge that comes from affiliates of al Qaeda holed up in the mountainous Pakistan-Afghanistan border terrain.
Of the 28 dead, 10 were attackers who were killed during a firefight which latest several hours. Almost all of the suspected gunmen were reportedly wearing suicide vests, devices usually worn by terrorists on termination missions.
Military officials said two of the terrorists had detonated suicide vests.
By putting down the attackers, the security forces most probably preempted a big hostage-taking too; reports the terrorists had foodstuffs like dates, chickpeas, hand-grenades and petrol bombs suggest they came for the long haul.
What was the motive for the attack?
As usual, the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the Karachi carnage.
"This was revenge for Hakimullah Mehsud's martyrdom" (Mehsud was killed in a U.S. drone strike in November, 2013), and a warning against the impending military operation the government is preparing against the "helpless and innocent tribes in Waziristan," a TTP statement sent to media via email said.
In an earlier message on their Facebook page, the TTP said: "The biggest reason for attacking Karachi airport is because it serves as the biggest air logistics center supplying goods for the Crusaders' war in Afghanistan and Pakistan," referring to the Karachi Port which handles the Afghanistan-bound U.S.-NATO cargo.
Is the first such assault
TTP made a similar claim following a dramatic raid on Peshawar's Bacha Khan International Airport on December 15, 2012.
The group also took responsibility for similar commando raids on the Pakistan Navy airbase PNS Mehran near Karachi in May 2011, followed by a deadly assault on a Pakistan Air Force base at Kamra, 70 kilometers north of the capital, in August 2012.
All three resulted in damage to several air-surveillance and combat aircraft, including a multi-million dollar Saab 2000 surveillance aircraft.
The TTP justified the three attacks as "revenge" for the May 2, 2011 secret U.S. raid that killed Osama Bin Laden in his Abbottabad compound.
At the early stage of investigations, a number of questions and theories can be raised.
Were attackers trying to discredit Pakistan?
The TTP again appears to be at the center of a terrorist pattern that ostensibly aims to hurt he country's economic interests and isolate it internationally.
Following a brazen daylight attack on the visiting Sri Lankan cricket team in March 2009, for instance, all foreign cricket teams refused to visit Pakistan, thus bringing an end to international cricket in the country.
"The only message flowing from these strikes is that foreigners and foreign airlines should not fly into Pakistan," Talat Masood, a retired general told me.
He also recalled the coldblooded execution on June 23, 2013, of 10 foreign tourists in an unprecedented attack in the Himalayas of Nanga Parbat, one of the highest peaks in the world.
The nighttime raid at a height of over 4,000 feet killed three Ukrainians, two Slovakians, one Lithuanian, two Chinese, one Chinese-American, one Nepali and their Pakistani guide -- in what was the worst attack on foreigners in Pakistan in a decade.
What was the role of foreign fighters in the Karachi attack?
Major General Rizwan Akhtar, the head of the paramilitary outfit Rangers, who led the operation, hinted at the possible involvement of Uzbek militants in the deadly attack.
"From their appearances they look like Uzbeks but we will wait for DNA tests to say something with authority," Akhtar responded when asked whether foreign terrorists carried out the assault. And this is not the first time officials named Uzbeks as part of an extremely well-coordinated strike.
The TTP appears to enjoy active support of fighters that belong to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), a dissident group that escaped persecution in Uzbekistan and settled down in the mountainous region of Waziristan between Pakistan and Afghanistan following the Taliban regime's defeat in December 2011.
Particularly since the killing of its leader Tahir Yuldashev in an August 2009 drone strike, the IMU has increasingly gravitated towards al Qaeda central and acted as its militant arm against the Pakistani security apparatus, which it sees as the major stumbling block in its fight for survival in Pakistan.
Did the attackers have inside information?
TTP and its foreign affiliates draw support from "the enemy within."
"Such a coordinated attack is not possible without inside information," Jalam Hussein, a former Pakistan Air Force commodore told me.
"We really have to think very seriously of purging the security apparatus of such inside supporters," he said.
What was the influence of recent peace talks?
The recent breakdown of TTP talks with government also revived a new string of attacks against security and strategic targets; despite a several week engagement, the talks offered by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in an attempt to improve internal security led nowhere.
The government and the security forces found it impossible to accept TTP demands like enforcement of Sharia across the board, withdrawal of the army from the tribal regions and a peace zone for itself. And soon after the stalemate became evident, the army began pounding IMU and Chinese Uyghur hideouts in the Waziristan mountains, where the TTP provides them social cover.
The East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) represents Uyghur Muslims who want an independent Xinjiang and have been reportedly waging a war on Chinese interests from the Pakistan-Afghan border region.
Was the attack linked to a "proxy war?"
Some officials tie the TTP-led terror campaign to the proxy war that both Pakistan and India have been involved in for quite some time.
Some Pakistanis accuse the TTP of being an Indian proxy, while among the Indian and Afghan establishments there are those who treat Afghanistan's Taliban, particularly the Haqqani Network, as Pakistani proxies.
Often, Indian officials blame attacks on Indian interests on the Pakistani spy agency ISI, including the suicide strike at India's consulate in the western Afghan city of Herat last month.
What does the attack reveal about security in Karachi?
Lastly, the Karachi attack, too, exposed the weaknesses in the early warning capacity of the Pakistani security apparatus; while forces on ground managed to engage and neutralize the attackers within five hours -- restoring air traffic by noon -- questions loom over the intelligence.
Hasan Askari Rizvi, a prominent security commentator based at Lahore, wonders as to how such a big number of attackers remained undetected.
This requires a deep introspection and represents a huge challenge for the government and the entire security agencies.
Counter-terrorism would require extremely close coordination, which could possibly help in early warning as well, he said.

Story highlights
- Tainted water seeps from Fukushima Daiichi plant, plant owner discloses
- Scientists have been warning about the problem for more than a year
- "This is an extremely serious issue we must tackle," TEPCO says
- Storing the water "is not a sustainable solution," U.S. engineer says
Japanese authorities are putting new pressure on the owner of the meltdown-stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant after its admission that highly radioactive water from the site has been seeping into groundwater and the harbor off the plant.
A top official said Tuesday that the government wanted the problem solved "as soon as possible," while an official at Japan's nuclear regulatory agency told Reuters on Monday that the issue was an "emergency."
Three reactors melted down at Fukushima Daiichi after the massive earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011. The result was the worst nuclear accident since the Soviet Union's Chernobyl incident in 1986. The meltdown complicated an already historic disaster.
Scientists have pointed to ongoing high radiation levels in the waters off the plant for more than a year to warn of an ongoing leak. The Tokyo Electric Power Company admitted to the problem in July, disclosing that it had found high concentrations of reactor byproducts tritium, cesium-137 and strontium-90 in test wells and in the harbor outside the coastal power plant.
"It's a present reality that the contaminated water is seeping out to the bay without us being able to control it," Masayuki Ono, TEPCO's acting nuclear power chief, said this week. "This is an extremely serious issue we must tackle."
Ono said the company has built an underground barrier to prevent contaminated groundwater from reaching the sea, but it's a difficult problem.
"We think we are containing the movement of contaminated water in general, but there is a risk of excess water going around or coming over the barrier," he said.
TEPCO has been struggling to manage vast quantities of contaminated water at the plant since the tsunami, which swamped the facility. It's still pumping hundreds of tons of water a day into the plant to cool the crippled reactors, though most of that is recycled.
The problem now is what to do with groundwater that's leaking into the damaged basements of the reactor buildings and passing out contaminated, said Michael Friedlander, a former nuclear plant operator and engineer.
"Instead of fixing the wall in the basement to stop the groundwater leakage, they can't because the building is uninhabitable," he said. The result is the company is having to store the radioactive water in massive tank farms built around the site -- a makeshift solution with no good permanent fix, Friedlander said.
"Over time, they've had radioactive water leaks on the property and there's probably no question there is some seepage from the buildings themselves," he said. "At the end of the day you have radioactive materials in places where they're not supposed to be," and that contamination "will migrate into places you don't want it."
The issue drew a sharp response this week from an official at Japan's Nuclear Regulatory Authority, a new agency created in the wake of the disaster. Shinji Kinjo, the head of an NRA task force, told Reuters on Monday that TEPCO's "sense of crisis is weak."
"Right now, we have an emergency," he said.
And Yoshihide Suga, Japan's chief cabinet secretary, said Tuesday that the government wants to see the problem fixed quickly.
"We are going to put our full efforts toward resolving the issues," Suga said.
Sampling results disclosed in July showed concentrations of tritium in one well as high as 500,000 bequerels -- a unit of radioactive intensity -- per liter of water. By comparison, Japan's maximum safe level of radioactivity in drinking water for adults is 300 bequerels per liter.
Ken Buesseler, a U.S. marine chemist, was one of the scientists who raised alarms about ongoing contamination early on. Buesseler told CNN that building new groundwater barriers is may be a futile effort.
"Think of groundwater like a river," he said. "If there's a flow to the ocean, you can put up a dam, but eventually it's going to go up and over it or around to the sides ... It flows from higher to lower, and the ocean's the low point."
And Friedlander said that may leave TEPCO and Japan's government with two choices sure to stoke further public anger: "You can either dump it in the ocean, or you can evaporate it."
"At the end of the day, collecting 400 tons of water every single day is not a sustainable solution," he said.
Federal officials allowed the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania, the site of the worst American nuclear accident, to let contaminated water evaporate, Friedlander said -- but TMI was nowhere near the scale of the Fukushima disaster.
"We're in uncharted territory here," he said.

Plasma/LCD Question
I have just purchased an APC S15BLK power conditioner for my AV components and I have a question about which of two labeled outlets to plug my Pioneer 1080p Plasma into. The video filtered "TV" or the digital filtered "Monitor" receptical? My confusion comes from the fact that HDTV's are stated to be a digital TV, where as standard TV's are analog. I'm thinking the Digital "Monitor" is the way to go, but I'm interested what you folks think about this.
The back of the APC S15BLK has 12 outlets, which are separated into 4 outlet classifications:
6-Digital Outlets: CD, DVD, DVR, CAT/SAT, Monitor, AUX (Digital Filter)
2-Video outlets: TV, VCR (Video Filter)
2-Analog Outlets: Tuner, Pre-amp (Analog Filter)
2 High Current Outlets: Sub woofer, Amplifier (High Current Filter)
Here's a link to a picture of the back/front panel.
Re: Plasma/LCD Question
I ended up plugging the TV into one of the Digital filtered outlets and it seems just fine to me.

THE local buying team at Tesco along with its vegetable processor partners helped ensure supply demand was met over the busy Christmas period.
There was a fear the bad weather which had caused extensive damage to harvests might have led to the importing of winter vegetables this Christmas, because of potential shortages.
However, in reversal of this trend, the Tesco team in Northern Ireland worked tirelessly for months with the entire supply chain to have local potatoes and vegetables on the supermarket shelves.
Angus Wilson, Owner of Wilson's Country based in Portadown said, "It's well documented that 2012 was the worst potato season in almost 30 years. We started off the season in a weaker position, with over 20 per cent less acres planted due to rising costs in the sector, over supply last year and growers keen to spread their risk as a result. But when the poor weather hit, yields were on average 25-30 per cent lower than 2011."
Cliff Kells, Commercial Manager, Tesco NI said, "The impact of the poor weather was exceptional and growers and processors went the extra mile to ensure we make the very best out of the poor harvests. While it would have been an option to draw supply from other parts of the UK and Europe, we took a conscious decision, in keeping with our local sourcing policy, to support the local growers. That is why we responded promptly to the crisis, working with Wilson's Country, Gilfresh Produce who both draw supply from growers all over Northern Ireland. Both processors worked hard to get the most out of every crop, which helped the growers, and we worked closely with our local suppliers to introduce flexibility around specifications. This, coupled with strong messages and communication in store, means that consumers were still be able to avail of the great quality product they have come to expect from Tesco."
Thomas Gilpin, Owner, Gilfresh Produce says, "Even despite the difficulties this year, we supplied local sprouts to Tesco for the first time this season, which is great news. We re-evaluated all produce sourcing on a daily basis to ensure ongoing continuity of supply to Tesco. By working together on this we maximised opportunities, from supporting the growers, giving them confidence for next year, right through to giving Tesco customers local produce too, so we've achieved a win win for everyone."

Jews in Colombia
Posted on 13. Aug, 2012 by Colin in colombia
One year a Jewish family was invited to our family's big drunken romp known as Christmas Eve, and we served ham. I was too young to feel awkward, but the kids made a big fuss and the parents shut them up, quietly assuring them it was OK this time. They ate it. And once in NYC I got lost in Brooklyn and walked through a Hasidic Jewish neighborhood on a Saturday. The orthodox ones grow long hair at the temples and wear funny clothes. It was surreal. I caught a lot of stares, like I was the weird one. There are a few areas in St. Louis where many Jews live, but it wasn't where I lived, so that's about the extent of this Missouri boy's experience. Many ignorant Americans like me may not know that Jews comprise a significant part of Latin America as well.
The United States has the largest population of Jews after Israel. If you look at the regions with significant Jewish populations, four are in Latin America: Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Chile (in that order). Besides South Africa, Latin America is the only region outside typical gringo havens with significant Jewish populations. Whether fleeing the Spanish Inquisition or the Nazis, not all Jews went to North America. Many came to Latin America, and many Latin people have Jewish ancestors. I had a student with the surname, Ruth. I don't know if she was Jewish in the religious sense, but she surely had Jewish ethnicity/race. I think most of the Jews in Colombia assimilated, converting to Catholicism, and mixed in with the general population. So most probably don't even know they have Jewish blood.
At ~4,000, the Jewish population in Colombia isn't big enough to be "significant," but there are Colombian Jews, concentrated in Bogota. The first Jews came to Colombia from Spain in the 1500s to escape the Spanish Inquisition. Marranos were the Spanish Jews who publicly proclaimed Catholicism but secretly remained loyal to Judaism. A few hundred of these folks got tired of the charade and relocated to Colombia. That group in Colombia was mostly killed off in the 1600s.
A second wave of Jews came to Colombia in the 20th century to escape Hitler and Nazi Germany. Research shows most of these were Sephardi and Ashkenazi immigrants, but I've also read many of the Bogota Jews were French. So the Jewish community in Bogota and greater Colombia has been around for over 60 years. However, according to this article, they're largely leaving Colombia for Miami or Israel. Read an in-depth piece on the Jewish community in Bogota. Here's a list of synagogues in Bogota.
When The Mick was in Colombian prison, his best friend Tachuela, an assassin, was contracted to kill a Colombian Jew who had been conspiring with a kidnapping gang to target wealthy Jewish families whom he had information about.
On Carrera 11 at Calle 94, in the heart of Bogota affluence, stands this statue – a dedication to the state of Israel:
Famous Colombian Jews
Fanny Mikey – actress and founder of the Bogota Iberoamerican Theatre Festival
Rogelio Salmona – architect of many of Bogota's most distinguished landmarks
Isaac Lee Possin – media mogul (Univision)
Germán Efromovich – Avianca / Taca airlines chairman, owner
Jaime Gilinski Bacal – banker
Jorge Isaacs – author

The linked article about Jews leaving for Miami and Israel is about Jews in Medellin 11 years ago when it was a lot more dangerous.
When I was there in December, I hang with some Israelis who moved there, and this Jew is trying to get down there.

Spanish Speaking spokesmen for the Israeli Defense Force invariably have an Argentinian Accent.
In 1994 Hezbollah exploded a bomb outside the Jewish Mutual Aid Society in Buenos Aires. Eighty five were killed and many more injured. Many of the Argentinians I have met openly express negative, even annihilationist , sentiments regarding Jews.
In the 1970's, Jews who generally fear nationalist movements, supported the radical leftwing movements against the military dictator ship.
Unlike the USA where mainstream lefties are anti-(anti-communsit), most of the Argentinian working class hated the Comminist rebels and resented affluent Jewish lending them their financial support. In a country that has long flirted with facism Jews could never rest easy and many of them left for Israel.
In stark contrast, Mexico City is home to between 250,000 and 500.000 fully intergrated Mexican Jews. I have never heard a single Mexican, and I know many, make a negative comment regarding jews. In fact Mexicans, in the US or Mexico, pull people of other ethnicities into their cultural orbit and never let them go. If you can fire up the grill and cook some carne asada, and down a couple of beers you are unofficially Mexican.

I am actually Sephardic, (my last name is Albelda), my family fled Spain in the 1500's as well, but they ended up in Bulgaria and then left for the states during the Holocaust. My great grandma actually spoke some crazy ass medieval Spanish language called, Ladino.
I lived in Buenos Aires for a summer in 2008 and I was actually shocked how many Orthodox Jews I saw. They even have a kosher McDonalds there, the only one outside of Israel. And yes, there is a lot of antisemitism there. It seems us Jews are blamed for anything that goes wrong because we always somehow have a finger in it, oh well, at least I look about as Aryan as they come!

Congrats, great blog. I grew up in Bogota, met the first jews only as i started playing bridge, that was the 80s. A close knit group, had their own club, helped each other, and being a small number they managed to keep everybody out of poverty.
I was shocked: they truly impressed me, stood high above the rest of the establishment for discipline, ethics, and especially for their fairness, kindness and generosity to employees.
This is a key point: in Colombia, back then, to judge the character of a person, you just needed to look at how they treated the servants.

My father was Jewish, my mother Catholic and I am Baptist but most people identify me as Jewish, my wife is Colombian and I been to Colombia many times and consider it my second home. I guess Jews in general are viewed either highly negative or highly positive be it the paramilitary training some of the organizations have provided to the AUC and FARC, or as beneficial to the country. From my understanding during La Violencia, there was a split between the liberals and conservatives and both sides were accusing the Jews of various different things. I did see some grafitti in Bogota that said "Israel not equal to Colombia" and swastikas every now and then, I think this is mainly due to politics between FARC who sympathize with communism and AUC who is more capitalist. I'd like to learn more about the situation, anyways I love Colombia regardless and most of the people don't seem to really care about your background there.

Do you know if there are any Jewish peace projects happening in Colombia? I'm just interested in religious peace building in Colombia (I know there are lots of Catholic and some Protestant ones) and was wondering if Jewish groups/individuals are also involved in this in Colombia.

I am half-Jewish, and went to buy a Menorah in Bogotá a couple years ago from a guy who sells Jewish-products in his apartment in Marly.
He was wearing a yarmulke, and his apartment was filled with all sorts of Jewish books and paraphernelia. He told me that about 2,000 Jews live in Bogotá but that about half of them are "judíos mesiánicos", which means they still believe that Jesus was the messiah. He kind of looked down at the ground when he told me that he was one of them, maybe expecting a rebuke. I do know plenty of American Jews who would have retched at the thought of a Jew thinking Jesus was the son of God. It is interesting to see the effect of the adopted country on how Judaism evolves there.

We will be coming to Medellin in July to look around and see if we would like to have a second home there (Since we are very concerned about Trump's policies). My husband is a retired M.D. and I am a retired psychologist. We are interested in meeting some Jewish people in Medellin, who are either Reformed or Conservative (not lubovishers or very ortodox).
Would love some people to contact us. Thank you.
