Further study details as provided by AtriCure, Inc.:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Rate of Device Related Serious Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Discharge/30 days Post Procedure ]The primary safety endpoint is the rate of device related serious adverse events within 30 days post-procedure or hospital discharge, whichever is later, compared with the rates for serious adverse events for LAA exclusion reported in the peer review literature. The safety endpoint was determined based on an independent review of all reported adverse events by an independent cardiac surgeon that was not an investigator in the study.
- Percent of Patients With Complete Occlusion of the Left Atrial Appendage. [ Time Frame: 3 Months Post Procedure ]The primary efficacy endpoint is defined as the complete exclusion of the LAA defined by lack of fluid communication between the LA and LAA at both intra-operative (TEE) and 3 month (CT) evaluations and intra-operative verification of completeness of LAA exclusion.

His finest hour came when a general, inspecting the toilets it was Peel's duty to clean, praised him for keeping the most spotless lavatory in any barracks on the Royal Artillery camp at Ty Croes, Anglesey. Gunner Ravenscroft (Peel's real name) did not let on that this had only been achieved by padlocking the door and refusing entry for months to even the most desperate of soldiers.
John Peel was one of more than 2 million men who underwent National Service between 1947 and 1963, the vast majority serving as privates in the Army. In a BBC1 documentary marking the 50th anniversary of its introduction, Army of Innocents, to be shown on Wednesday, former conscripts recall their experiences - typically of boredom, pointless square-bashing and cleaning of kit, punctuated by abuse from bullying sergeants.
The broadcaster Michael Aspel was the victim of one of this breed. "To be told you were a bundle of shit tied up in the middle was an accolade," he said.
The late humorist, Willie Rushton, gave his last interview to Army of Innocents. Remembering his 10 weeks of often brutal basic training he said: "It began to get nasty quite early. I think to give you the feel of it they began to shout at you quite soon." To avoid trouble, bewildered conscripts joked, it was best to follow the code: if it moves, salute it, if it doesn't, paint it.
Others, however, were flung into the front line in one or other of the 57 "actions" which Britain was involved in between 1947 and 1963, from the Korean War and the Suez invasion to anti-insurgent campaigns in Cyprus, Malaya and Kenya. A total of 395 National Servicemen were killed in action, including the best friend of Albert Tyas, a conscript in the Royal Ulster Rifles, who died in his arms on a Korean hillside. "I will never forget it," said Tyas. "You just can't replace him. None of us understood what was happening in the world. We were all too young. We had no idea what active service meant."
If the bullets or - more likely - the boredom didn't get you, the other big danger was venereal disease. Young servicemen often had their first sexual experiences with prostitutes in far-flung corners of what remained of the British Empire - as portrayed in The Virgin Soldiers, by former National Serviceman Leslie Thomas, who based his novel on his time in Singapore in the Royal Army Pay Corps from 1949 to 1951.
Michael Aspel remembers girls selling themselves in impoverished post- war Germany for a pair of stockings or a jar of coffee. He left the Army a virgin, however - at 19 he was refused entry to German brothels because he looked too innocent.
While the cry "Bring back National Service!" is something of a stock- in-trade of right-wingers, the National Service Act was actually introduced by the Labour Secretary of State for War, Manny Shinwell, in March 1947.
The Cold War and the succession of crises in colonies pushing for independence meant that Britain, exhausted by World War Two, suddenly needed some 250,000 new recruits into the armed forces every year. There was no question of making war veterans stay on, for there had already been unrest over the slow pace of demobilisation, including mutinies in Egypt and Malaya. Despite a rebellion by 70 Labour MPs, the Act was passed with Conservative support.
Every man between 18 and 26 was liable for National Service for one year, increased to 18 months in 1948 and to two years in 1950 because of the Korean War. In 1953 the British Army was 440,000-strong, the highest ever in peacetime, of whom about half were National Service conscripts.
Perhaps surprisingly John Peel enjoyed a lot of his National Service, including the endless drill. "There was a certain amount of satisfaction to be derived from being a cog in such a machine," he said. "It's the same sort of thrill you get from something like synchronised swimming or ballroom dancing. I occasionally reproduce some of my finer moves for my children. You never lose it; it's like riding a bicycle." Peel, now 58, also became an expert at cleaning Army boots, which had to be polished "to a ludicrous degree", by a method involving coating them with boot polish, smoothing out bumps with a heated spoon and then spitting and polishing. "There was a lot of that kind of nonsense, but I was used to it because I'd gone through that sort of thing in the cadet force at Shrewsbury," said Peel. "Being the only public schoolboy was a great disadvantage, because I used to have a ludicrous accent. I used to talk like a minor member of the Royal Family. I have one recording of it which is kept under lock and key."
Peel did not make the grade in officer selection. "I was probably the first public schoolboy to fail to get a commission! The NCOs really made life difficult for me so the rest of the lads kind of rallied round. We formed a kind of mutual defence league.
"The best aspect of it, the one thing that I think would be useful for people today, was that it did compel you actually to think about other people's needs. You all had to work together - even if it was just in things like petty theft and evasion, which were the two things I really learned during National Service."
Peel, who spent most of his National Service in Anglesey, was not prey to the kind of sexual temptations available to Leslie Thomas and Michael Aspel. "I was rather frightened of sex. There were women, I'm told, on the island of Anglesey, but I never came into contact with them. Some of my more robust Clydebank mates went off in search of them and claimed successes, but I don't know if they were telling the truth or not.
"People used to say that the tea was laced with something which reduced your sex drive. People also used to claim before camp dances, because we were working on radar sets, that if you stood in front of the aerial it would sterilise you for the period of the camp dance. I can remember people clambering up on the roof to stand in front of the aerial, so who knows, they may be sterile to this day. At the dances, in fact, there would be about 20 women and 400 common soldiery, so all you did was get outrageously drunk."
Peel said that in the 1950s young people were so unused to having any choice in their lives that few questioned the need to do National Service. "Life just seemed pre-destined. I put up with stuff both at school and in the Army which if I'd tried to inflict something similar on our children they'd tell me to get stuffed, and quite rightly so."

An end to annuities could see older people fall foul of a little-known rule that could hit their right to funding if they need to go into a care home.
The Deliberate Deprivation rule is aimed at people who give away assets, such as their home, so that the money can no longer be counted towards their financial means test assessment when they need to go into care.
But anyone who embraces the new pension freedom announced by the Chancellor in the Budget this week and spends their pension pot rather than buying an annuity could be hit by the rule, a long-term care expert warned.
"A person who spends the majority of their pension pot while healthy in their 60s and 70s but then finds they have no money to fund care bills in their 80s and 90s could be guilty of deprivation," warned Janet Davies of the care fees adviser Symponia.
She supports the end of unpopular annuities, as the move will give pensioners an increased flexibility and choice about how and when they use their money, in addition to being able to enjoy it while still active and healthy.
"But by removing the compulsion to buy an annuity from 2015, the need for financial advice will go up a couple of gears. Hidden, or not even mentioned, in the small print is the potential for hundreds, if not thousands of people, to unintentionally fall foul of the Deliberate Deprivation rule."
For an act to be classed as Deliberate Deprivation, the motive must be just that; a deliberate act to move money and/or assets. It is all about the intention.
"While spending money as such isn't currently regarded as deprivation, the new rules might see attitudes shift and tighter controls established," said Ms Davies.

Why care about the psoas? In fact, who's even heard of the psoas? Outside the running and the yoga worlds (and even in them), these muscles (correct plural, the psoa, and correct individual term, the psoai) are not well-known.
However, they're a kind of a big deal. And I'm here today to tell you why.
The psoa are a major part of the reason your legs are attached to the rest of you. They connect to your spine, at the bottom of your ribcage, and then descend down your back, attaching at multiple points – including the vertebral discs – along the way, until they pass through the pelvis and arrive at their final attachment on the femur bones – the big long bones of the thighs.
Here's a picture:
(There are different opinions on what the psoa are supposed to do in the body. Here's a quick rundown).
So this is a big deal because attaching in so many places means that when the psoa aren't working right, they can mess you up in a whole lot of places.
Modern lives lead to short psoa – sitting, standing with the pelvis forward, standing with the knees bent, high anxiety and stress levels (they're part of the body's trauma protection mechanism), common sports and fitness-related movement patterns and 'good posture' that involves rib thrusting.
Short, tight psoa may contribute to back issues, knee problems, hip and SI joint pain, pregnancy and birth issues (learn more about that here), and digestive trouble. Where you end up having an issue will depend on your individual movement patterns. My own psoa tend to operate primarily on my rib cage, making it hard for me to keep my ribs dropped (and my left is tighter than my right). Other people will find that their psoa are pulling their femurs forward into hip flexion – this can be one reason it's hard to release your knee caps. And still others may find that their psoa are causing them both to rib thrust and to hip flex. Only one thing is sure – if you're a modern North American, you're probably operating with a less-than-optimal psoa arrangement.
So what to do about it?
In this case, stretching them alone won't fix the problem – you need to release your psoa. What's the difference? Think about clenching your hand into a fist, as tight as possible. Now, without letting go, imagine what would happen if you tried to stretch your fingers. You'd have a war, right? Between the clenching and the stretching. If you really want to stretch, first you have to release your fist so your fingers relax. Same thing here – before you can stretch, you must release. Boom.
Disclaimer – this is either the easiest or the hardest exercise you will ever do. If you find it incredibly hard to lie still long enough for this, if you feel like you're not 'doing' anything, and if you feel like it's a waste of time, then this is probably extra important for you, because you are probably just a touch Type A and so you need to take time for focused relaxation more than anyone else. Don't worry – once you have released your psoa there are some good stretches waiting for you – plus your walking will be already a million times better – so your time will not be wasted and you'll get to do some nice hardcore things soon.
You're going to start and finish with a test, so you can see what your own psoa are up to. It's easy. Starting sitting, with your feet straight out in front of you and hamstrings flat on the ground, you'll slowly lower yourself backwards until you're lying flat on the ground (use your arms for support, this is not a fancy ab workout).
As you descend, notice whether your thighs have lifted up off the ground. If so, notice how low your torso was when your legs lifted – this is your bolstering point.
Once I've made it all the way to the floor, I'm going to check in again with my hamstrings and now with my back as well. I'm checking for:
1) Are my hamstrings on the ground? They should be flat to the ground. If not, your tight psoa are keeping you in hip flexion.
2) Is there a lot of space under my lower/mid-back (there should be about enough for a pencil – not for my whole hand to fit under). If so, your tight psoa are contributing to your rib thrusting.
It is also possible that you might have rib thrusting and hip flexion at the same time:
Other things to check for:
3) Is the space even on both sides (on me, I have more of an arch under the left lower back than the right). If not, then you are tighter on one side than another. No illustration for this one, I'm afraid.
4) If my legs and lower back are all flat, what do my lower ribs feel like in the front? Are they poking out? Even a bit? If so, then your psoa are sneaky but they are still too tight.
So now you have a starting point. At the end of the release, you'll redo the test and see if you notice any differences. It's incredibly rewarding when you do, I find!
So the release is really quite simple. All you're going to do is find a bolster (best) or a firm cushion or rolled up sleeping back or whatever you have that will hold your head and shoulders up in the air. How high? If your hamstrings came up off the ground, bolster yourself at the point where they rose up. If they didn't, start by giving yourself 5-8 inches of bolstering and see how that works for you. You're going to lie down with the bolster under your head and shoulders. The edge should be right around the bottom of the shoulder blades (the bra strap, the bro strap, or the spot where you'd wear a heart rate monitor). There's no real magic to it though – you should be well supported but your ribs should have enough room to relax down to the ground.
And that's it. Now you're going to chill out here – SANS podcast, television, audiobook, music or other form of entertainment (all of which can excite the psoas and make it hard to release). You're going to consciously think about the back of your body melting into the ground – but you're not going to muscle it down, just allow it to get there naturally. It can be helpful to put a nice warm heavy folded blanket onto your lower ribs. Rest there for 5-10 minutes or so – you can do more if you like, and you can also stay there until you actually notice your psoas release completely (however for some of us this might take about a year, so if this is you, don't fret, you'll get there in time). Where is there? Ideally, you'll want to end up looking a bit like this:
But if not, don't worry about it – you're going to redo the test and notice if anything has changed. If your hamstrings are closer to the ground or if you have less arch in your back, then your psoa have begun to release! If not, then be patient – this can take time, and you'll get there eventually.
This is a great thing to do before bed – it's very relaxing – but also before you go for a walk, since you want your psoa nice and supple during gait. Pretty much everyone needs this, on a daily basis! If you give it a go, let me know what you think! I used to hate having to lie there and do nothing, and now it is one of my favorites (and only takes about 2 minutes, as my psoa are now well trained!)
This should start you off right, but there's a tonne more to learn about the psoas. I'd love if you join me on January 18th for a two-hour deeper dive! All the details right here.

The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond
"The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond", or simply "Loch Lomond" for short, is a well-known traditional Scottish song (Roud No. 9598) first published in 1841 in Vocal Melodies of Scotland.[1][2] The song prominently features Loch Lomond, the largest Scottish loch, located between the counties of Dunbartonshire and Stirlingshire. In Scotland, the song is often the final piece of music played during an evening of revelry (a dance party or dinner, etc.).
Loch Lomond was performed live by the Benny Goodman band at The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert performance January 16, 1938, featuring Martha Tilton on vocals. The song has been recorded by many performers over the years, including the rock band AC/DC, jazz singer Maxine Sullivan (for whom it was a career-defining hit), the Mudmen, and Scottish-Canadian punk band The Real McKenzies.[citation needed] Both Runrig and Quadriga Consort used to perform Loch Lomond as their concert's final song.[citation needed]
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,
Where me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.
O ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road,
And I'll be in Scottland a'fore ye,
But me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.
'Twas then that we parted, in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomond,
Where in purple hue, the hieland hills we view,
And the moon coming out in the gloaming.
The wee birdies sing and the wildflowers spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping.
But the broken heart it kens, nae second spring again,
Though the waeful may cease frae their grieving.
The original composer is unknown, as is definitive information on any traditional lyrics. The lyrics most commonly known are not the original, which was based on a Jacobite lament written after the Battle of Culloden. The second verse goes as: "As weel may I weep, O yet dreams in my sleep, / we stood bride and bridegroom together, / but his arms and his breath were as cold as the earth / and his heart's blood ran red in the heather."
There are many theories about the meaning of the song, most of which are connected to the Jacobite Uprising of 1745. One interpretation based on the lyrics is that the song is sung by the lover of a captured Jacobite rebel set to be executed in London following a show trial. The heads of the executed rebels were then set upon pikes and exhibited in all of the towns between London and Edinburgh in a procession along the "high road" (the most important road), while the relatives of the rebels walked back along the "low road" (the ordinary road travelled by peasants and commoners).[3]
Another interpretation of the "Low Road" is that it refers to the traditional underground route taken by the "fairies" or "little people" who were reputed to transport the soul of a dead Scot who died in a foreign land—in this case, England—back to his homeland to rest in peace.[3][4]
Another similar interpretation also attributes it to a Jacobite Highlander captured after the 1745 rising. The Hanoverian British victors were known to play cruel games on the captured Jacobites, and would supposedly find a pair of either brothers or friends and tell them one could live and the other would be executed, and it was up to the pair to decide. Thus the interpretation here is that the song is sung by the brother or friend who chose or was chosen to die. He is therefore telling his friend that they will both go back to Scotland, but he will go on the "low road", his body being paraded along the main road controlled by the Duke of Cumberland's forces, whereas his friend will have to head for the hilltops, taking longer to get back. Another supporting feature of this is that he states he will never meet his love again in the temporal world, on Loch Lomond. Some believe that this version is written entirely to a lover who lived near the loch.[3][5]
A related interpretation holds that a professional soldier and a volunteer were captured by the English in one of the small wars between the countries in the couple of hundred years prior to 1746. Volunteers could accept parole, a release contingent on the volunteer's refusal to rejoin the fighting, but regulars could not and so could face execution. The volunteer would take the high road that linked London and Edinburgh while the soul of the executed regular would return along the "low road" and would get back to Scotland first.[3]
Andrew Lang[edit]
About 1876, the Scottish poet and folklorist Andrew Lang wrote a poem based on the song titled "The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond".[6][7] The title sometimes has the date "1746" appended[8][9]—the year of the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie's rebellion and the hanging of some of his captured supporters. Lang's poem begins:
There's an ending o' the dance, and fair Morag's safe in France,
And the Clans they hae paid the lawing,
Morag—great one in Gaelic—referred to Bonnie Prince Charlie, who fled to France after his forces were defeated.[10] Lawing means reckoning in Scots. The poem continues:
And the wuddy has her ain, and we twa are left alane,
Free o' Carlisle gaol in the dawing.
Wuddy means hangman's rope, according to Lang's own notes on the poem; dawing is dawn.[11] The poem continues with the song's well-known chorus, then explains why the narrator and his true love will never meet again:
For my love's heart brake in twa, when she kenned the Cause's fa',
And she sleeps where there's never nane shall waken
The poem's narrator vows to take violent revenge on the English:
While there's heather on the hill shall my vengeance ne'er be still,
While a bush hides the glint o' a gun, lad;
Wi' the men o' Sergeant Môr shall I work to pay the score,
Till I wither on the wuddy in the sun, lad!
"Sergeant Môr" is John Du Cameron, a supporter of Bonnie Prince Charlie who continued fighting as an outlaw until he was hanged in 1753.[11]
Arrangements and recordings[edit]

"Loch Lomond" has been arranged and recorded by many composers and performers over the years, in styles ranging from traditional Scottish folk to barbershop to rock and roll:
- In 1921, the English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, a keen collector and arranger of English folk music, arranged "Loch Lomond" as a part song for an unaccompanied four-part male voice choir with baritone solo[12]
- Jazz singer Maxine Sullivan had a hit with a swing adaptation of "Loch Lomond" in 1937
- At his 1938 Carnegie Hall concert, Benny Goodman swung this song with Martha Tilton singing. The audience demanded an encore so heartily that, none being ready, Goodman announced that Tilton would be back later with another song. At the 1978 anniversary concert Tilton had a guest appearance, singing the song in an (improvised) duet with Goodman
- In 1957, Bill Haley & His Comets recorded a popular rock and roll version retitled "Rock Lomond"
- In the early 1960s, The Ramrods (instrumental group) an American instrumental rock group, recorded a rocked-up version called "Loch Lomond Rock"
- Noted concert band composer Frank Ticheli composed a song called "Loch Lomond", based on the original, in 2002
- The song is featured in the 1946 film The Green Years, based on the novel of the same title by Scots author A. J. Cronin

"Red Is the Rose"[edit]
The Irish variant of the song is called "Red Is the Rose" and is sung with the same melody but different (although similarly themed) lyrics.[16] It was popularized by Irish folk musician Tommy Makem. Even though many people mistakenly believe that Makem wrote "Red is the Rose", it is a traditional Irish folk song.[17]
The chorus of "Red Is the Rose" is:
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Clear are the waters that flow from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any
This version was also reworked by the Scottish Musician Alastair McDonald, who set it by Loch Lomond, too. This chorus was:
Red is the rose, that on mony a briar grows
And white blooms the lily sae bonny
And clear is the watter that flows down Lomonds braes
But my lass is fairer than ony
Come over the hill, my bonnie Irish lass
Come over the hill to your darling
You chose a rose love and I have made a vow
Thet she'll be my true love forever
Red is the Rose by yonder garden grows
And fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any.
T'was down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed
And the moon and the stars they were shining
The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair
And she swore she'd be my love forever.
It's not for the parting that my sister pains
It's not for the grief of my mother
It is all for the loss of my bonnie Irish lass
That my heart is breaking forever.

that is the name of the last file it outputted. I couldn't open the file, and since I assumed the name is of the first and last part of output text, (according to what crunch said) that SHOULD be the last line in the file.
Printable View
I think we are on the right track in finding what the problem is, basically the filename appears
to give errors when attempting to write to disk due to the characters in the filename.
Regarding reading the file, if based on trying to read that file on a windows system,
try using LTFViewer http://www.swiftgear.com/ltfviewer/features.html
Any results?
I have tried
./crunch 1 5 -f charset.lst lalpha-numeric-all-space -b 2gib -o START
because I didn't feel like waiting and all 5 files were created:

Thank you, I've been really busy
I was able to recreate the problem and it looks like the problem is the / in the new filename. It probably just needs escaping with a \. I will see what I can do tomorrow. I wonder what other characters might need escaping.....
Can any of the numerous crunch enthousiasts here help out with tests / trials
that you may have in mind ?
The problem is / character in the filename. In Linux the / character is hardwired and cannot be used in a filename. So I am replacing the / (forward slash) with the unicode character 0x2044. I have started a new test and should take 2 hours to complete if successful.

Hi there! I had diastasis recti during my last pregnancy, surgical repair done for me during the cesarean section before 3weeks, I still have pain my surgeon said it will take 3 months for complete repair, I wonder what are the movements that I should avoid during this period. Worthmentioning that i am 38 y.o , 154cm hight and 53 kg weight, have two kids both cesarean deliveries. I was doing regular work out even during pregnancy. Thanks in advance for your answers.
What Kind of Movements or Daily Activities Should Be Avoided Post Diastasis Recti Surgery?
Doctor Answers 1
You should avoid any activity that could jeopardize healing of the diastasis recti repair. This means any sort of "sit-up" type motion and any lifting over 10 lbs. I have my patients follow this routine for the first 6 weeks after surgery. At that point they may GRADUALLY begin lifting heavier objects, making sure they have no abdominal pain when they do so. After 3 months patients may GRADUALLY resume abdominal exercises. I know that it seems like a lot to ask, but the time will go quickly, and you will be very glad that you have a solid repair and don't to have it done over again.

Powderfinger singles chronology | ||||
"I Don't Remember" is a song by Australian alternative rock band Powderfinger, from the album Dream Days at the Hotel Existence. It made its radio debut on 9 July 2007 on Australian radio stations,[1] and was subsequently released as a single and digital download on 4 August 2007 in Australia,[2] 3 September 2007 in New Zealand,[3] and 13 August 2007 in the United States.[4]
The song was written by Powderfinger lead singer Bernard Fanning, and influenced by bassist John Collins.[5] The riff was then developed by guitarist Ian Haug.[6] The song is about reconciling difficulties and arguments, rather than shifting the blame.[7]
"I Don't Remember" was lauded by some reviewers, who appreciated its energy, while other reviewers were more critical, dubbing it an "advertisement song". The music video also received critical acclaim, especially for the parodies it contained. Despite the reviews, the single charted poorly, reaching number 42 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[8]
Background, writing, and recording[edit]
The song was written by the band's lead singer, Bernard Fanning, following a night he spent drinking with bassist John Collins towards the end of the recording phase of Dream Days at the Hotel Existence.[5] The song was written by Fanning on guitar, but he later wrote the main riff on piano,[5] which was then converted into a lead guitar riff performed by Ian Haug.[6] The guitars for the song are all tuned down one step; while the guitar finger positioning is played as though in the key of C major, the detuning brings the key of the song down to Bb, with the song leading off with Bb's relative minor, G minor.[6] During the recording phase, Fanning suggested "softening" the main riff by returning it to the piano, and even recorded this concept; however this piano version did not end up in the final album mix, nor was it included as a B-side on the single.[9]
"I Don't Remember" was recorded in Los Angeles during pre-production for Dream Days at the Hotel Existence.[7] It contains a simple acoustic riff, similar to several songs on previous albums including Vulture Street.[10] While recording the song in January 2007, Fanning said in an interview that:
It's a song about making mistakes and trying to reconcile what they were — but then in the end, in the wash up — it doesn't really matter whose fault it was, as long as it gets reconciled.[7]
This meaning was also evident in the song's lyrics. In the second line, Fanning states that "I made a mistake that I'll never surpass", before explaining that it does not matter whose fault it is, in saying "I know you needed someone to take the fall/I know you needed someone to blame it on". In the second verse, Fanning again reiterates that he feels pain in the mistake that was made, when he says "I found my heart and it broke like glass/I made that mistake that I'll never surpass".[11]
John Collins said of the song:
I hope the song sounds exciting, without sounding ... big rock? Without sounding country, and sound interesting, 'cause I think that the basis of the song if you play it on the acoustic is there, and it's up to us [Powderfinger] to stuff it up now.[12]
When Powderfinger first played the song to Benmont Tench, who would feature in a piano role throughout the album, he remarked that it reminded him of Buffalo Springfield, who was an inspiration of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Fanning replied that "we were thinking more of the Heartbreakers", indicating the musical style intended in "I Don't Remember", but also paying homage to Tench, whom the band would work with extensively.[13] Tench performed with the band on the album version of the song.[11]
Music video[edit]
The music video for "I Don't Remember" was made by Fifty Fifty Films, who had previously collaborated with the band on the videos for "Like a Dog", "(Baby I've Got You) On My Mind", and "Lost and Running", all nominated for ARIA Awards.[1][14]
The music video starts on a school bus with children playing and throwing things, and features a young boy who then selects the track "I Don't Remember" on his iPod and closes his eyes. He then dreams about a school concert for a band called "Littlefinger", a parody of the band for which he is the lead singer "Bernie", a parody of Bernard Fanning. The band and audience are composed of primary school students. Children are seen offering a chocolate milk called smilo, a take on Milo, and a camera crew for "Channel [Z]" and reporter "Su-Mi". This is a parody of Yumi Stynes, a presenter from Australian music station Channel V. The end of the clip shows that it was a dream being had by the student who played the lead singer for "Littlefinger".[15]
Many elements of "I Don't Remember"'s video received positive critical response for the usage of children in it. Kathy McCabe of The Daily Telegraph summarised critical feelings towards the video, by suggesting in her review that "[maybe] bands should get kids to play them in videos forever".[16]

In his review of Dream Days at the Hotel Existence, Herald Sun HiT journalist Cameron Adams claimed that "I Don't Remember" was more of an advertisement style song, similar to "Lost and Running", the first single released from the album. Adams stated that "'I Don't Remember' is not the next single without reason—it does everything you expect a Powderfinger single to, perhaps a more appropriate 'ad' for this album."[18] Sputnikmusic contributor James Bishop described "I Don't Remember" as unoriginal, but at the same time said that it proved Powderfinger "haven't forgotten how to write a good song".[19]
Allmusic reviewer Clayton Bolger, however, described it positively as a "stadium anthem" and stating that it was a good example of the "trademarks of classic Powderfinger" showcased on the album. The review labeled the song a "pick".[20] Web Wombat's review of the album also treated the song positively, dubbing it "classic Powderfinger."[7] Reviewer Andrew Tijs from CitySearch Brisbane stated that the song is "a smoothly emotive jangle-rock tune with a purposeful chorus and Fanning's inimitable vocal", though provides mixed reviews when compared with other songs by the group, noting that "It's no eerie ballad like 'The Day You Come', nor does it have 'Like a Dog''s snarl, nor 'On My Mind''s pub rock shudder."[21]
"I Don't Remember" was performed regularly on the Across the Great Divide Tour, generally with positive responses. FasterLouder reviewer gumbuoy stated that "The new songs are excellent live; I Don't Remember has more energy than its recorded counterpart (Lost and Running)", following by praising the album and performance as a whole.[22]
Chart history[edit]
"I Don't Remember" entered the Australian Singles Chart at #43, then slid to #47 in its second week, but then reached its pinnacle position of #42 in its third week. It then remained in the charts for the following three weeks in the upper forties, and then dropped off the chart.[23] It was released as a single in New Zealand and the United States also, but failed to chart,[24][25] despite moderate airplay in New Zealand.[26][27] "I Don't Remember" charted at #66 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2007.[28]

Helps With The Kids
Your kids want stuff. No, really, they do. Ask 'em "Do you guys want stuff?" and they'll yell back YEAAAAH! and then maybe throw in a "But it's good stuff, right?" And that's where you, the parent, come into play.
It's your job to find some good stuff and pass it along to the teeny types who don't know any better. Then they can smash it and tear and it feed it to a goat (how did that even get in your yard, anyway?) and demand more stuff. It's an endless cycle and the only thing that saves you from a pauper's grave is the though that one day you'll be mooching off them. And also, these Woot-offs.
Take this opportunity to stock up on the things your kids need and hide them in the drawer where you keep the broccoli. They'll never go in THERE, right?
Of course, the goat might. Maybe you should pick up a lock while you're thinking about it. Or call a goat exterminator. Whatever works for you.

iPad gurus, Loving my iPad 2 -- totally awesome! I'm trying to solve one simple problem, and am hoping that there's "an app for that." Plenty of audio apps -- the built-in iPod music software, loads of streaming audio programs like Pandora -- will continue to play their audio with the screen locked or the Apple cover closed. However, I'd like to be able to download an audio file (such as .mp3) from the Web to my iPad, and play it with the cover shut. When playing in my browser, it'll stop when I close the cover. When I load it into another app like VLC or SuperFiles, it also stops playing when I close the cover. Even worse, (at least with SuperFiles, maybe with all of them? I forget!) it will go to auto-lock after the time in my settings...and stop playing. Anybody know of an app or settings that will let me continue to play Web-downloaded audio with the cover shut, without having to put it through iTunes and sync it to the iPad? Thanks!!
It is quite annoying isn't it? There is no way around it. Only the iPod app and a couple others will play while locked.

The Puck Stops Here
Top 20 Offensive Zone Starters
by PuckStopsHere on 08/03/11 at 04:14 PM ET
Comments (3)
The next step in the sabermetrics and hockey problem of making sense of Corsi ratings is to take into account zone starts. This is a recording of which zones (offensive, defensive and neutral) a player is on the ice for faceoffs. Players who have an excess of defensive zone starts will tend to have a worse Corsi because it is easier for their opponent to take a shot when they start on offence and vice versa for players with an excess of offensive zone starts.
When I tabulate offensive zone starters, I am talking about the imbalance between offensive and defensive zone starts. These players are a combination of offensive players who were used in offensive situations and weak defensive players who are not trusted in their own zone. These players should show a noticeable increase in their offensive numbers as a result of the way they are used.
Here are the top 20 offensive zone starters in the 2010/11 season:
Rank | Player | Team | Excess Offensive Zone Starts |
1 | Daniel Sedin | Van | 374 |
2 | Henrik Sedin | Van | 341 |
3 | Alexandre Burrows | Van | 285 |
4 | Patrick Kane | Chi | 228 |
5 | Christian Ehrhoff | Van | 213 |
6 | Patrick Sharp | Chi | 211 |
7 | Jonathan Toews | Chi | 172 |
8 | Thomas Vanek | Buf | 145 |
9 | Derek Stepan | NYR | 141 |
10 | Kevin Shattenkirk | StL | 136 |
11 | Anton Babchuk | Cal | 135 |
12 | Troy Brouwer | Chi | 134 |
13 | Ville Leino | Phi | 125 |
14 | Brian Campbell | Chi | 122 |
14 | Patrik Berglund | StL | 122 |
16 | Marian Gaborik | NYR | 120 |
17 | Duncan Keith | Chi | 119 |
18 | Alexander Edler | Van | 117 |
19 | Derick Brassard | CBJ | 109 |
20 | Dustin Byfuglien | Atl | 103 |
20 | Ilya Kovalchuk | NJ | 103 |
The runaway leaders on this list are the Sedin brothers and their linemate Alexandre Burrows of the Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver made it a big part of their strategy to get their offensive players in as many offensive situations as possible. It is smart hockey and it is also a reason why the Sedins are not the best players in the NHL despite leading the league in points for the last two years.
Strong offensive teams that had a lot of offensive zone starts tended to dominate this list. There are five Vancouver Canucks, as Christian Ehrhoff and Alexander Edler join the Sedin line. They are beaten in numbers by six Chicago Blackhawks - Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp, Jonathan Toews, Troy Brouwer, Brian Campbell and Duncan Keith. No other team has more than two players on this list of 21 players (there is a tie for 20th). The New York Rangers offer Derek Stepan and Marian Gaborik, the St Louis Blues offer Kevin Shattenkirk and Patrik Berglund. The lone players from their team are Thomas Vanek of the Buffalo Sabres, Ville Leino of the Philadelphia Flyers, Anton Babchuk of the Calgary Flames, Derick Brassard of the Columbus Blue Jackets, Dustin Byfuglien of the Atlanta Thrashers and Ilya Kovalchuk of the New Jersey Devils.
A significant portion of the players on this list changed teams this summer. This is a way for a player to be overrated and likely have a bigger cost than he otherwise should. A player with an imbalance of offensive zone starts should have better offensive numbers than he otherwise would have if he played a more balanced role. Buffalo acquired Christian Ehrhoff and Ville Leino with large free agent contracts. If they cannot offer them as many offensive zone starts in Buffalo, look for their numbers to drop. Brian Campbell was acquired by Florida and is almost certain to have fewer offensive zone starts there than he did in Chicago. Troy Brouwer moves from Chicago to Washington. Likely the Capitals will not offer him as many offensive zone starts and he will see his numbers decline.
The next step is to look at a few of the players who headline this list and then look at defensive zone starters. Then I want to incorporate these numbers with Corsi ratings to get a better feel for player performance in 2010/11.
Filed in: | The Puck Stops Here | Permalink
These numbers are interesting, but I think it would be more interesting to see their offensive to defensive zone ratios compared to the ratio of offensive and defensive zone faceoffs their team had. Players like Toews and Keith were probably out there for a TON of faceoffs as both log a good amount of ice time and Toews was the best faceoff man on the hawks. Just like the Nucks, the Hawks tended to outshoot their opponents, which would lead to more offensive zone faceoffs, which you mention a little in your article. But if a player is out there for a ratio similar to what the team experienced as a whole you could argue that it wasn't the teams strategy to put them out there for more offensive zone starts, they just put them out there a lot.
Posted by pstumba on 08/03/11 at 04:29 PM ET
The New York Rangers offer Derek Stepan and Marian Gaborik, the St Louis Blues offer Kevin Shattenkirk and Patrik Berglund.
Shattenkirk was an Av for the majority of the season, so he and Berglund probably should be considered in the "lone players from their team" category.
I'd be interested to see how many teams had players at the high end in both offensive zone and defensive zone faceoffs, as well as which teams tended to be more in the middle. I expect Detroit and San Jose, for example, would have low differential numbers whereas Vancouver seems like it is going to have people high on both ends of the spectrum- based on the assumption that Malhotra and others low, low corsi numbers were partly due to defensive zone faceoff load. Is this something you're going to cover?
I'd also like to see a list of the differentials for the top 50 or so point scorers in the league. Is this information available somewhere?
Posted by shanetx from Floydada, Texas on 08/03/11 at 10:20 PM ET
A big reason the Canucks top line is so far up the list is because of the stellar defensive play by their other centers. When you have the Selke winner Kesler and defensive specialist Malhotra at your disposal there is not much need to use the Sedins in a defensive role

User interface and Menu in Ubuntu 12.04
I was using Ubuntu 10.04 for some time. I just use as a desktop user and not very proficient with all commands. Recently I changed to 12.04. I am bit dis-appointed. I don't know where are all the application? It is totally confusing. Is their any way I can use Ubuntu 12.04 but all Menu etc Similar to Ubuntu 10.4? If not is their any alternate Linux you can suggest which will have Simplified menu similar to Ubuntu 10.04 Thanks |
You could try Xubuntu or Lubuntu which are more traditional layed out desktops or try out Mint Linux - of late it's become a refuge to people not too keen on new Ubuntu look.
http://xubuntu.org/ http://lubuntu.net/ http://linuxmint.com/ |
But is their any way we can replace existing 12.04 Menu structure etc.? I am using at my regular Desktop which is i7 with 8GB Ram. So I am not constraint with Low system resources. |
Have you tried KDE? i.e. kubuntu? With a fast system, KDE is very usable and has a "windows"-like feel to it in terms of menu layouts. There is also Cinnamon which tries to take over where gnome 2.3 left off:
http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/04/26...-ubuntu-12-04/ |
I too have used 10.04 since it came out and 8.04 for a couple of years before that. The "Unity" interface on 12.04 is different (I think it belongs on a smart phone, not a computer - but not to get on my soapbox)... Here in a couple of steps are how to make 12.04 look similar to prior versions.
1 Click on the top icon on the "menu" strip and search for terminal. 2 Open the terminal 3 Enter the following command Quote:
Ken |
I haven't installed 12.04 but, 11.10 had a column of icons on the left of the Desktop, one of which was applications. You should also be able to click the Ubuntu icon in the extreme upper left of the Desktop and get most frequently used, installed and available apps. There should also be a search box. Maybe 12.04 has changed?? I'm not sure why they changed it as the earlier menu seemed to be pretty simple and logical.

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.27 / 5.00 4,743 ViewsWowee zowee! Front paged! Thanks Tom!
Created in about 25 days for the Newgrounds Annual Tournament of Animation, open round (Oh boy, I really hope i make it to Round 2!).
I got a jumpstart planning out this flash under the title "Time Prank." Originally in the video, Connor(Schafdawg) suggested we go back in time and prank one of our past selves. Though, unfortunately and a little ironically, time began to run a little short for the plot we had in mind. We had to drastically change('dumb down' probably being more accurate) the story in order to shave the film down to a manageable duration for someone like me(i.e. a noob) to animate.
I really hope you all like it, and i'm always glad to hear constructive criticism from the users on Newgrounds. That said, I really hope there isn't too much worthless hurtful criticism I have to sift through. I HAVE FEELINGS TOO, YOU KNOW. *sniffling
let's see, what else... hmm... OH! credit goes to Linde from 8bitpeoples.com for the opening song. it's all royalty free, copyright free, legally obtained, etc, so no worries there. And double credit to the contributors of the Audio Portal. :)
P.S. I LIKE MONKEYS OKAY? THERE I SAID IT (I'm really hyper right now).
That was really impressive, dude! I liked your animation/script, and the voices were pretty good too.
Awesome animation. The idea, plot and hillarious gestures/drawing style flow together naturally and leave me wanting more. I am a sad panda now instead, and am actually writing this as my suicide note.
Excuse me while I proceed to listen to Rebecca Black for 30 consecutive hours.
I met this guy at my school. congrats on making the front page again and keep up the good work
Haha, I remember you! How are you doing?
Lol the monkey was autotuned, good work.
Yeah, there's a bit of a story behind it...

Speaker hack for bosch powerbox jobsite radio.?
You really want headphones in your ear-protection. You could use a small portable radio and large ear-defenders?
I understood what you wanted, I just thought that pumping-up the volume to rock-concert level- (no that isn't such a bad idea...).
You could get a big guitar-amp, but you will need bigger equipment to do it the way you'd like.

Grayken to Invest $350 Million in Latest Lone Star Fund
Donal GriffinJohn Grayken, the billionaire founder of Lone Star Funds, will invest $350 million of his own fortune in the company's latest fund targeting distressed assets across the U.S., Europe and Japan.
The Dallas-based private-equity firm expects to raise about $7 billion for Lone Star Fund IX, according to the minutes of a March meeting of the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board, or NMERB. Grayken's contribution will be the most he's invested in one of his firm's funds and will top the $330 million he placed with a separate property fund last year.
Grayken, 57, is putting chunks of his own fortune on the line as he scours the globe for distressed assets in the wake of the financial crisis. The investments may lure outsiders to follow him and put money in Lone Star's funds, the latest of which is focusing on non-commercial real estate loans and "asset rich" financial companies.
"We always like to see a substantial investment by the general partner of any fund," said Bob Jacksha, Santa Fe-based chief investment officer of the NMERB, which manages about $10.7 billion of teachers' pensions in New Mexico. "It helps promote a healthy alignment of interest."
Jed Repko, a spokesman for Lone Star, declined to comment.
The NMERB agreed to invest $100 million in Lone Star Fund IX, according to the minutes. Other investors include the Oregon state pension fund, which will put in $300 million, according to an April 30 statement.
Money Raised
The Lone Star IX fund has raised $5.3 billion so far, according to a filing last month with the Securities and Exchanges Commission. The total amount raised so far is closer to $5.7 billion, Dow Jones reported last month, citing a person familiar with the matter.
"The strategy is to take advantage of the regulatory requirements in the banking sector and the deleveraging in the U.S. and Europe," according to the NMERB minutes. "They feel this will continue to provide investment opportunities over the next several years."
Lone Star will spend 40 percent of the cash raised on assets in the U.S., 50 percent in Europe and 10 percent in Japan, according to the NMERB minutes. The company's investments since the financial crisis include Irish property debt and German financial firms.
