Subscribe To Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows Gets A Frenetic Second Trailer Updates
I've already subscribed
Everyone involved in the upcoming sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows played coy for a long time about whether Rachel McAdams would return as Holmes's love interest Irene Adler. After all, it seemed like Holmes and Watson had plenty else to deal with, given the arrival of their arch-nemesis Moriarty (Jared Harris) and a mystery new gypsy woman (Noomi Rapace) in addition to their usual shenanigans. But Guy Ritchie promised a few months ago that Adler would indeed be returning, and now in the new trailer that debuted today at Apple, we've finally got a look at her return. You can watch the trailer in high-res over there or embedded below.
Sure, we don't see much of her, just briefly at the beginning and the end of the trailer, and I'm not sure anyone is as excited about McAdams coming back as I am (don't underestimate Regina George, y'all). But McAdams is also a highlight in what strikes me as a busy, slightly frantic and not too exciting trailer, one that definitely doesn't add anything new to what we saw in the first trailer back in July. We all know that Sherlock Holmes movies, as envisioned by Guy Ritchie, will contain insane action and occasional use of slo-mo and a lot of Victorian settings blown to smithereens. But why lean so heavily on that and leave out most of the humor? It's the repartee between Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, not the glitzy modern action, that makes these movies worthwhile, but this trailer makes the sequel seem even more over-the-top than the original, which I really didn't think was possible.
I'm still holding out hope, because if nothing else, seeing Law and Downey Jr. bicker with each other should be worth the price of admission all over again. But what about you guys-- did this trailer make you more or less excited for the movie itself?

Introduction: Cell Motility
All cells show some ability to move at some stage of their lives. Some cells are highly active, such as immune system cells and amoebae. The basis for all cell movement arises from the cell's internal skeleton that is made of proteins called tubulin and actin. Using structures made from these proteins, cells can move internal material, divide, crawl, and swim.

ROCKFORD — Alpine Bank, which aggressively markets itself as Rockford's "local bank," has, for the first time, the largest share of deposits in the market.
ROCKFORD — Alpine Bank, which aggressively markets itself as Rockford's "local bank," has, for the first time, the largest share of deposits in the market.
Alpine passed Chicago's BMO Harris Bank for the top spot in the combined deposits held in banks in Boone, Ogle, Stephenson and Winnebago counties, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s annual market share report. The FDIC records the amount of money deposited in every FDIC member branch on June 30 of every year.
Alpine Bank had $881.7 million at its 17 local offices at the end of June, a 2.9 percent increase from 2010. Harris, which bought the ailing but longtime market-share leader AMCORE Bank in April 2010, saw its deposits tumble 10.9 percent to $809.4 million at 14 local branches.
It is a significant passing of the torch. AMCORE Bank had been the market leader every year the FDIC has records online — back to 1994. And Harris Bank, which bought AMCORE after it was closed by federal regulators in April 2010, held onto the top spot last year.
Alpine officials played down the distinction.
"Alpine Bank's goal has never been to be the biggest but rather to be the best at what we do across all our lines of business," said Rob Funderburg, chairman of the bank's holding company, Alpine Bancorporation Inc. "Our belief is that if we work hard and focus on outstanding customer service, then success will follow."
BMO Harris Bank officials said its decline was investor-related.
"The decline in share was related to reduction in certificates of deposits by some large wholesalers," BMO Harris Bank spokeswoman Beth Copeland said. "While the reported market share numbers show a decline, our core deposits are relatively stable due to strong relationships with our customers and a well-defined strategy to attract new customers."
And Harris wasn't the only bank to lose market share. Ohio-based Fifth Third fell 13.1 percent, JPMorgan Chase's deposits fell 8.8 percent, PNC Bank dropped 6.8 percent and Associated Bank slipped 0.9 percent across the four counties.
Cincinnati-based U.S. Bank bucked the trend with a 10.5 percent increase in deposits.
"There is no one answer to the increase in our balances for the year, but U.S. Bank has had a consistent effort to attract new customers and deposits," said Michael Abate, the Rockford market president for U.S. Bank. "A portion of our growth has come from consolidation of deposits from other banks, higher balances being carried by commercial customers and an initiative we focus on, designed to build deeper relationships with our clients."
With so much money shifting from big banks — perhaps a continuing backlash from the bank bailouts and dissatisfaction over rising bank fees — several local banks benefited.
Blackhawk Bank, Riverside Community Bank, Byron Bank, State Bank of Freeport, German-American Bank, Citizens State Bank, State Bank of Davis, Community Bank, Lena State Bank and Poplar Grove State Bank all had deposit increases of more than 5 percent.
State Bank of Freeport, German-American, State Bank of Davis and Lena State Bank as well as Rockford's Northwest Bank, which moved back into 10th place overall in deposits, all are a part of Rockford-based Foresight Financial Group.
President and CEO Stephen Gaddis said Foresight's banks benefited in a couple of ways.
"Many of our banks are in agricultural areas, and that economy has been especially strong this year," Gaddis said. He said several banks aggressively raised interest rates to increase deposits to meet much higher demand for farm loans. "That could be exactly the opposite next year. You can't tell from year to year."
He said Northwest Bank, which saw its deposits increase 3.3 percent, benefited from the Harris takeover of AMCORE.
"There are a certain number of customers who switched because they want their money in a local bank," Gaddis said. "We gained a number of small-business customers because of that. We didn't benefit as much as Alpine, though. Alpine did a good job of hiring several AMCORE executives away, and that undoubtedly helped them."

MURRAY, Ky. – Following nearly two weeks of inactivity, the Tennessee Tech men's golf team will return to the golf course Monday morning as it heads northwest for the 10th annual Miller Memorial Invitational hosted by Murray State.
Taking place at the Miller Memorial Golf Course in Murray, Ky., the tournament will begin on Monday, Oct. 1 with an 8 a.m. shotgun start. The Golden Eagles will play 54 holes over two days on a course that plays to a par of 71 and 6,592 yards.
Fourteen teams will compete in the event, including two from host Murray State, two from UT Martin, and three others from the Ohio Valley Conference (marked in italics below). There are also six teams from out of conference competing in the tournament.
Here's an alphabetical look at the participating squads:
Alabama State
Eastern Kentucky
John A. Logan
Morehead State
Murray State
Murray State
Tennessee Tech
Union (Ky.)
UT Martin
UT Martin
Western Illinois
"We're looking forward to getting back on the road with the guys this weekend," said head coach Polk Brown. "I'm excited about the possibilities of competing and having a chance to win. We're coming off a great finish a couple weeks ago. Quite a few OVC teams will be there, so it will be a good chance to go up against our counter parts and see where we stack up. It's a great golf course and we look forward for the chance to compete."
The expected top five for the Golden Eagles will look to be the same as the first tournament of the year when Tech finished fifth out of 15 teams at the Sam Hall Intercollegiate in Hattiesburg, Miss.:
- Lee Whitehead (Jr.)
- Mitch Thomas (So.)
- Bryce Kendrick (So.)
- Adam Cunningham (So.)
- Mason Griffin (R-Jr.)
- Maxx Verble (Jr.) - Competing as an individual
The Golden Eagles will look to add its fourth consecutive top five finish dating back to last season when it finished fifth at the TSU Big Blue Intercollegiate. Tech followed that up with a third place finish at the OVC Championship.

Stress is a normal reaction when we feel overwhelmed by the demands from the world around us. Stress is more than just a physical or emotional reaction. It can affect our body, our feelings and how we act.
Physical symptoms of stress
- headaches, tense muscles or muscle pain
- chest pain
- fatigue or sleep problems
- loss of interest in sex
- heartburn, upset stomach
- high blood pressure
Emotional symptoms of stress
- irritability
- anger
- anxiety
- restlessness
- sadness, depression
- problems concentrating
- lack of interest, low motivation
Behaviours that may be related to stress
- alcohol or drug abuse
- smoking
- withdrawal
- eating too much or too little
- "picking fights" or being argumentative
- uncontrolled crying
Stress and cancer
Cancer can be a very stressful life event. Waiting for a diagnosis, hearing that you have cancer, coping with treatment and side effects, being anxious about work and finances, and worrying about what the future holds can add up to a large amount of stress in your life.
Learning to manage stress can help you feel less tired and anxious, improve your quality of life and help you cope.
If you're having trouble coping, don't be afraid to ask for help. Support from your family and friends can give you comfort, and they may have ideas on how to manage. If you don't feel comfortable talking to a family member or friend, a counsellor or person with a similar experience can also help.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a group of symptoms found in some people who have survived highly stressful or traumatic events, such as natural disasters, military missions, physical or sexual assault, and life-threatening illness – like cancer.
PTSD symptoms can cause major problems with relationships, work and other parts of daily life. Reactions of cancer survivors with PTSD may include:
- staying away from places (such as hospitals) or people that were part of the cancer treatment
- being extremely anxious or fearful, feeling helpless, over-excited or irritable
- sleeping poorly, with nightmares about the cancer or cancer treatment
- constantly reliving the cancer experience, having flashbacks or thinking about it all the time
It is rare for someone to have PTSD after surviving cancer, but it is possible. To be diagnosed with PTSD, a person has to have symptoms for longer than 30 days. Some cancer survivors may be at higher risk of developing PTSD than others. This includes people who have had previous mental health problems or previous trauma, have high levels of stress in their life or have very little support from family or friends.
Treatment may involve different types of therapy to teach:
- problem solving and coping skills
- how to change thinking patterns and behaviours
- how to stop avoiding situations
- how to manage stress
Support groups that provide emotional support and a chance to meet others who have had similar experiences may also be helpful for some people with PTSD.
For people with severe symptoms of PTSD, medicines to help with anxiety or depression may be prescribed by the doctor, along with professional counselling.

Empire Center director Edmund McMahon writes in the New York Post:
The House of Representatives this week is expected to pass a federal stimulus package that could pump at least $17 billion of noncapital funding directly into New York's state and local government coffers over the next two years. But what Sen. Charles Schumer is touting as a "shot in the arm" for New York looks more like a sock in the face to the state's taxpayers.
The stimulus bills would temporarily offset Gov. Paterson's planned cuts in Albany's projected spending on education and Medicaid – the operative word here being "temporarily," since the extra cash is only for 2009 and 2010.
As a result, the federal bailout will do painfully little to forestall the massive tax hikes now being cooked up in Albany and City Hall. Nor will it do much to "stimulate" New York's economy (unless, like Schumer and too many other leading New York politicians, you pretend public-sector unions and Medicaid providers are engines of economic growth).
By delaying any serious reform or restructuring of New York's most costly programs, the "stimulus" would actually make the state's long-term financial outlook even worse. If the current versions of the stimulus bills become law, bond-raters might as well downgrade New York's paper right away – because when two years are up, the state budget hole will probably be as big as ever, and the economic outlook may not be much brighter.

Moving from World Cup to the Prem
As the World Cup comes to an end and preparations begin for the new Premier League season, Iain Macintosh calls a truce to the war between club and country and looks for potential alliances instead.
Germany: Well-funded, shrewdly managed and much more entertaining than they used to be. Whether you like it or not, they are going to be at the top for some time. Manchester City
Argentina: Despite their lofty reputation, they haven't actually won the title for more than two decades, and looking back, you wonder how reliant they were on one star player. Liverpool
Netherlands: Ruthlessly managed by a tactically excellent egotist who has no compunction telling everyone to defend on the edge of the box if he feels that it is the best way to win. Chelsea
Brazil: Their name alone evokes memories of glorious football and unprecedented triumphs, but this year was an absolute disaster and the manager must pay the price. Manchester United
Colombia: Attractive, managed by a purist and stacked to the rafters with attacking midfielders but fell just short. Won a Fair Play trinket though, so it wasn't an entirely wasted exercise. Arsenal
France: Far more attractive and likeable than they have been in recent years. Performed well, but not so well that the landscape has been permanently altered. Yet. Everton
Belgium: High expectations were quickly dampened, and although it wasn't a disastrous tournament, with the players at their disposal you would think that they could have done a little bit better. Tottenham
Costa Rica: No one expected them to avoid early elimination, let alone clatter through the final stages and finish in a position usually reserved for bigger names. Crystal Palace
Algeria: Burdened with a reputation for overly defensive football, they really were far more entertaining than anyone expected and finished quite respectably. Stoke
United States: Their relative success was built on clear foundations of teamwork, determination, bravery and a refusal to be cowed by bigger sides. Expect those bigger sides to take note. Southampton
- Cobos: Brazil will be better prepared for 2018
- Lomas: World Cup swan song XI
- Ames: Rating the World Cup's innovations
Chile: Neutrals' favourite. Capable of breathtaking attacking football, but when you look back, they didn't actually do as well as you might have thought. Swansea
Italy: Brilliant two campaigns ago, but this has been the second crushing disappointment on the bounce, and there are serious concerns about the direction in which they're heading. Newcastle
Mexico: A likeable, tubby manager uses a back three to guide his unfancied team to a thoroughly deserved, respectable finish. Hull
Greece: You wouldn't want to pay to watch them every week, but with disciplined defending and well-worked set pieces, they always do just enough to meet expectations. West Ham
Japan: A squad of decent-enough players playing decent-enough football, but compromised by the total lack of a prolific, or even half-prolific, striker. West Brom
Iran: You wonder what's going on behind the scenes sometimes, but you have to credit the new manager for avoiding the humiliation that everyone expected. Sunderland
England: Bafflingly considered newsworthy even though it's harder and harder to remember a time when they were actually any good. Aston Villa
Ghana: Not a huge historical name, but with some of the players they have, you would expect them to do far better. Perhaps the real problem is at the boardroom level. Norwich
South Korea: A consistent presence in this competition for far longer than you'd think. They usually entertain, but they really let themselves down this year. Fulham
Cameroon: Absolute chaos behind the scenes left a fractured squad unclear of where the power lies in the dressing room. A disaster and a real missed opportunity. Cardiff
And what about the three teams promoted to the Premier League in May? To which World Cup wannabes do they compare?
QPR: There's a lot of money swilling about 'round here, but the last time they played in top-level competition, it was a very disappointing experience. Ukraine
Burnley: A proud old name of football fallen on hard times and now forced to do everything on the cheap -- with some recent success. Scotland
Leicester: Sizeable supporter base, financially secure, but it's been a while since they graced a major competition. Turkey

History PluginThis plugin shows a complete or partial history of a document. The output can arbitrarily be formatted. An example for a Wikipedia-like history is included. Since TWiki 4.0.3 - when using PatternSkin enabling the HistoryPlugin changes the "History" link in the bottom action bar so it opens a page with a nice user interface where you can select the versions to compare. With older versions of TWiki you will need to tweak the templates. If CompareRevisionsAddOn is installed and activated the "History" user interface will allow you to choose how the changes are rendered (interweaved vs side-by-side, and context). If RevCommentPlugin is installed and activated the "History" page will show the comments entered for each revision. This plugins is designed to work together with CompareRevisionsAddOn and RevCommentPlugin but works well on its own or with just one of the two other plugins.
Syntax Rules
$next{'text' url='url'} (analog for $previous). text is the text which should be printed, url is the url for a corresponding link. The variables $rev1, $rev2, $nrev in text or url will be replaced by appropriate values for the next or previous block of revisions. See the attached
oopshistory.tmpl for an example of how to use this.
The following variables are replaced only, if there is a corresponding %HISTORY% on the page. If more than
one %HISTORY% is used on the same page, the values from the last one will be used.
ExamplesThe call %HISTORY% shows a simple list of available revisions like

NY authorities say $170M pill ring shut down
Authorities say they've shut down several New York City medical clinics and arrested two dozen people in a scheme to sell more than 5 million prescription painkillers on the black market.
The arrests were announced on Wednesday by the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan and the New York City special narcotics prosecutor.
Investigators say the pill ring relied on corrupt physicians who wrote thousands of unnecessary prescriptions for highly addictive oxycodone since 2011. They say the 5 million pills had a street value of at least $170 million.
Prosecutors say unruly crowds of people formed each morning at a Bronx clinic to pay up to $300 to see a doctor, who would then give them oxycodone prescriptions without doing exams.

From the pics it looks like RS left firewood behind, which isn't good obviously. But it doesn't seem as egregious as leaving a car, trailer, couch, bbq, jars of piss, etc.
I have never been a fan of the sound camps, but I always figured let people burn how they want. Camping on 2:30 this year I saw the detritus from the 2:00 spoke walking up and down our street nightly. I lost count of the drunk, drug addled people I had to give help and directions too.
The sound pollution coming from the 10:00 spoke marred the experience at our friends deep playa art piece as well.
What's the solution Simon? Is there one?
Yes. I mentioned that it was the last pic and the other three were not from RS
is there a solution? I think so.
A Deep playa Ghetto for sound camps, away from the city, the way it used to be.
it's worth thinking about it.
then the sound camps can all work together to patrol their Village and those that want the noise noise noise...(and i do love the thump, i am the first to admit it) can go and hear the Music without the rest of the city suffering thru Sub Woofers from hell shaking the ground until 8 AM every morning. They can also OWN the moop that their guests generate and deal with it appropriately....WITH A PLAN.
and you are right, it is best to use this as a learning opportunity, and teach others what to do and what NOT to do.

Expedition Preparation Continues - August 3, 1803 through September 11, 1803
August 3, 1803. (Pittsburgh). Lewis informs Clark that he has received Clark's letters agreeing to accompany him; as soon as his boat is completed, he will set off for the Falls area. Lewis indicates that John Conner in February 1803 offered to go on the expedition as interpreter. Conner had not answered Lewis' letter of acceptance. He asks Clark to contact Conner. He announces that the treaty for purchase of the territory of Louisiana was received in Washington July 14 (Jackson, 1: 115-17). See John Conner below.
John Conner, 1775-1826, grew up among the Delaware and Shawnee Indians in what is now Ohio and Michigan. John and his brother William were Indian traders who moved to Indiana along the White River in 1800. In December 1802, a group of Indian chiefs from Indiana Territory met with President Jefferson in Washington to protest Governor Harrison's recent actions; John travelled with them and served as interpreter. This was probably when Conner met Lewis. In 1803, Conner lived at Buckongahela's Town near present-day Muncie. Conner refused to go on the 1803 expedition. Later, however, he served as Harrison's interpreter at several treaty negotiations for Indian lands. John remained in Indiana, and served five terms in the Indiana General Assembly (Thompson, 16-17, 37, 40, 42, 54, 270).
(Present-day Indiana towns represented with black dot)
August 21, 1803. (Louisville). Clark writes to Lewis that he has "engaged . . . the best woodsmen & Hunters . . . in this part of the Countrey. . . ." He agrees to write to Conner (Jackson, 1: 117-18).
August 28, 1803. Henry Dearborn to Thomas Jefferson
"Mr. W. Clark's having consented to accompany Capt. Lewis is highly interesting, it adds very much to the ballance of chances in favour of ultimate success" (Jackson, 1: 117n).
August 26, 1803. (Falls of the Ohio). Clark writes to Conner asking him if his earlier offer to Lewis to serve as an interpreter on the expedition is still valid. Clark offers Conner $300 a year, provisions, and clothing (Jackson, 1: 118-19).

Scottish police officers received £7.7 million in bonuses in the last year, £160,000 more than last year.
More than 7000 officers ranked up to superintendent qualified for bonuses by filling in a lengthy form.
And a police source said: "It isn't hard to qualify for these payments - it is easy money, really.
"Mostly it is just for doing your job properly."
Officers at the top of their rank's pay scale qualified for payments of £1248 if they "committed to achieving high levels of attendance" and displayed sufficient commitment to "police service values" and "health and safety".
They are also asked to "promote equality and diversity", "demonstrate an openness to change" and "contribute to the Police Service's response, recognising the needs of all relevant communities" in order to get the money.
The figures were revealed under Freedom of Information legislation, and come in a week when the service was heavily criticised over its call-handling, and follow the publication of figures showing that Police Scotland has a £25 million overspend.
The figure paid out by Police Scotland in competency related threshold payments - known as CRTP - has soared by more than £1.5 million in the last five years. In that time other bonus payments, such as "special priority payments" handed out to officers deemed to have "demanding" jobs, have been scrapped saving millions of pounds a year.
But the number of officers qualifying for CRTP has soared - from 5275 in 2009/10 to 7186 last year, with payments jumping from £6,121,666.01 to £7,712,236.60 last year.
Jonathan Isaby, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: "Exceptional performance should be rewarded to drive up standards, but taxpayer-funded bonuses shouldn't be dished out as a way to top up pay.
"Perhaps instead of ticking boxes we could see bonuses handed out for those who come up with innovative ways to save taxpayers' money while protecting services, in order to ease the pressure on hard-pressed families."

Power Meets Power
What is smaller than a band box? Sand box? Match box? Pill box?
Remember how the media and players bashed Citizens Bank Park when it opened in 2004. Through the first 19 games, a total of 57 home runs were hit.
Well, say hello to the new Yankee Stadium. Home runs are flying out of there at a record pace–71 in the first 19 games. Game #20 is tonight, Adam Eaton facing the red-hot Yankees.
ESPN.com has a website called Park Factor (compares the rate of stats at home vs. the rate of stats on the road). When it comes to home runs, Yankee Stadium is ranked #1; Citizens Bank Park #13.
Could it be the ghost of Babe Ruth is angry that the historic Yankee Stadium has been replaced?
All these numbers point to a weekend series in New York as interleague play 2009 starts tomorrow night for us in the new Yankee Stadium.
Going into today, the Yankees led the major leagues with 64 home runs. The Phillies were atop the NL with 52. Phillies pitchers had given up 61 homers, Yankee arms, 56.
The weekend can be billed as power meets power.
Historically, the Phillies have struggled against the American League, including a franchise worst (12 seasons) 4-11 record in interleague play a year ago.
300 Club
J-Roll stole his 300th base today. He's the fourth to reach that plateau in our history:
OF Billy Hamilton: 508 (729 games)

Post subject: Planing and footstrap question
In reviewing one of the previous posts, there was mention of moving the mast base back for better speed at planing or similar. I am guessing I understood that to be the case.
Needless to say, I have a 155 Starboard GO with a large Drake Racing fin. Typically the winds are real up and down and gusty where I sail. I have planed without difficulty and am really struggling to have the confidence in up and down gusts to regularly want to use the straps.
The boom height is high enough, but will I feel any better or will it be any easier if I move my mast base closer to the tail a bit? At the current time it is in the center. I use a variety of sails in size depending on the winds of course.
Thanks in advance!

How your setup feels is a very personal thing in windsurfing. Moving your mastbase back will raise the nose of your board and increase fin pressure which you will normally feel as increased back foot pressure. You can expect to have to make a boom height adjustment as well when you move your mastbase.
Try moving your mastbase back 1 cm at a time to see how it feels. You may find that with the Go 155 that it is happier with mastbase more forward for earlier planing using larger sails & bigger fins for normal BAF sailing, but again that becomes a personal thing. The key is finding where you feel comfortable for your style. Some sail more off their front foot, some off their back foot & some like equal pressure on both feet.

I don't think the mast base position has anything to do with your problem of confidence using foot straps in gusty conditions. It is for refining balance, comfort, speed and control. The center is a good position to stay at. Sailing in the straps should actually improve one's control in variable winds, as long as you know how to sheet in and out quickly without moving your feet (body lean, pivoting the sail) and can hop out of the straps during extreme lulls. dhmark

Moving the mast base backward does has the effect of moving the boom height up. If harness lines remain the same length, more pressure could be placed onto the rig. This might help reduce the feeling of getting yanked around. Tighter lines can make sailing in gusts somewhat unsettling with fear of catapult being common, but being locked into the rig means being locked into the straps, both of which together inspire confidence.
I acknowledge none of us can actually diagnose without seeing Adena's settings.

As other stated, once you plane in comfort in the straps, you will feel so secure that you don't want to ride anymore out of the straps.
I used to have two problems related to this. First, my booties were a bit sticky, and getting out of the straps for the deep lulls was difficult. Enlarging the straps didn't help too much, but changing booties helped a lot.
The other problem I had was that my setup was tuned to plane in front of the straps and I was quite comfortable that way. In the straps was less comfortable: all my weight was on the front foot! Changing my setup involved moving the mast track back and raising the boom. If you are used to plane out of the straps, you are also used to position your feet to be comfortable. You'll know the setup is right when your straps will prevent you from stepping where you'd want to step. Instead of stepping ON the straps, it's then time to get IN the straps.

A question and a comment.
Q: How much do you weigh? If you are at either end of the bell curve, your mast base position may be something to consider adjusting. Otherwise:
C: Put it right in the middle of the mast track, and focus on your stance, sheeting in, smoothness getting in and out of the footstraps, and sensitivity to the wind as you control the sail.
It is easy to distract yourself with gear adjustments. Get it in "the ballpark" and then work on your technique for awhile. And of course, take lessons. Next time you take a lesson, ask your instructor to look at you on your board...they will be in the best position to advise.

in what context did you see the mast foot positioning? when discussing what happens with long boards vs short, it is very important to keep the 2 classes of board separate concerning this issue. short boards will show relatively large incremental changes in performance with base positioning than long ones.
again, if you've seen some discussions about long boards, then please note that these discussions may not apply directly. it helped me understand what you were asking based on your inputs as to what you are sailing. glad you did.

Moving the mast base forward or backward can make sailing in difficult conditions more comfortable. I'd definitely suggest you try it out and see which it works for you. If you don't notice much difference by moving the base by 1 cm, move it more.
Whether moving the mast base forward or back will make sailing more controllable depends on your gear setup and your sailing style. Dan mentions the "locked in" feeling you can get from moving the mast base back. I have heard a top slalom sailor give the same advice with a slightly different rationale: keeping the board from slapping into the water before the foot straps. But being "locked in" is key, either way. If you are not comfortably getting into the straps in difficult conditions, chances are you are also not sailing locked in. In that case, moving the base forward to keep the nose down may give you better results.
Regardless what works for you, you may find that getting into the straps can help with dealing with gusts and lulls. You'll go faster in the straps, and the faster you go, the less the apparent wind changes in gusts and lulls, smoothing out the ride. I'll always remember one particular day where I was struggling in gusty winds, never getting comfortable, while a couple of slalom sailors sailed around as if there were no gusts at all.

Problem more likely to be boom height than mast foot placement. Board is 155 Go, very wide, big difference in comfortable boom height hooked in planing with feet close to center line versus in the foot straps, so much that it is usually barely possible to stay hooked in when schlogging out of the straps on such a board. when I swap boards from a 64 cm wide free ride to 82 cm wide board I adjust boom height 4-8 inches up on the same sail, so there is a big difference depending on how outboard the sailor is standing. dhmark

In gusty or 'up and down' conditions, better sailors will rig for the lulls and learn to deal with the gusts. The reason is that they want to minimize schlogging time. They also know that it takes much less energy and effort to maintain a plane than to get on a plane.
Mast back will probably get your max gps speed, but minimum % planing time.

I have run several distributions with varying success on this netbook. Recently I got Centos 5.5 working fairly well with 3rd party wifi drivers, but only with WEP. No 3D desktop, no ethernet port, choppy sound, no Fn keys.
The big shocker for me was when I put the final release of RHEL 6.0 on it. Everything works out of the box. Sound is great, wifi is perfect with every encryption type, the screen is flawless through installation and 3D desktop works well. The blue Fn keys even work. For a server-oriented distribution, I couldn't be happier.

Mac Pro (Original) and Mac Pro (8x)
The Mac Pro features four PCI Express 16-"lane" connectors on the main logic board. In PCI Express, these are known as "x16" slots. These can be used for PCI Express-compatible cards, like the ATI Radeon card that is available as a configure-to-order option in the Mac Pro.
PCI Express cards will work in slots that are at least as large as the card is. This means that the "x16" slots in the Mac Pro computer also supports "x1" and "x4" cards as well. However, all four slots cannot simultaneously support four cards that implement the same lane configuration. Only one slot actually has 16 lanes going to it—you can put a x16 card into a slot that is only using one lane and it will operate properly, but it will operate more slowly than the same card in a x4, x8 or x16 slot.
With the Expansion Slot Utility, located in /System/Library/Core Services, you can configure the number of lanes available in each slot of a Mac Pro (Original) or Mac Pro (8x), as illustrated below. This example shows a "x16" graphics card occupying the first slot, and the other slots are configured to support an "x1" card in slot two and "x4" cards in slots three and four. The example shows the other options available. When you have picked the appropriate configuration of slots to support your compliment of PCI Express cards, click the Save and Restart... button to implement the configuration.
Note: If you see an "Expansion Slot Utility is not intended to run on this system" message, the lanes are set in a default configuration and cannot be modified.
Mac Pro (Early 2008)
The Mac Pro (Early 2008) computers implement PCI Express revision 2.0 which support twice the data rate per lane as the PCI Express revision 1. Slots 1 and 2 are both x16 revision 2.0 slots. Slots 3 and 4 are both x4 revision 1 slots. Placing a revision 1 card in a revision 2.0 slot, or visa-versa, is supported and results in a revision 1 link.
The number of lanes for each of these slots is permanently set for the Mac Pro (Early 2008). The Expansion Slot Utility doesn't apply.
Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010), and Mac Pro (Mid 2012)
The Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010), and Mac Pro (Mid 2012) computers implement PCI Express revision 2.0 for all four slots. Slots 1 and 2 are x16 slots, and slots 3 and 4 are x4 slots. As with the Mac Pro (Early 2008), placing a revision 1 card in a revision 2.0 slot works and results in a revision 1 link.
The Expansion Slot Utility is not required for these configurations, since the number of lanes for each slot are permanently set.

Last month, a student claimed that his Samsung Galaxy S3 melted in a display of spontaneous combustion. However, it has since turned out that a friend had previously microwaved the phone. The cheeky sausage.
A member of the Ireland forums dilo2k10 claimed that his phone exploded without cause last month. He claimed what while he was driving along, "with my Galaxy S3 in my car mount when suddenly a white flame sparks and a bang came out of the phone." However, further investigation by Samsung has found that the conflagration was caused by an "external power source", namely a microwave.
As the sort of occurrence that could spark a recall of millions of devices, Samsung was naturally keen to extinguish the flames of the controversy. Working with a fire investigation unit, Samsung found that "the device was not responsible for the cause of the fire", that " The only way it was possible to produce damage similar to the damage recorded within the owner's damaged device was to place the devices or component parts within a domestic microwave."
The forum poster has since retracted the original claims, saying that "The damage to the phone was caused by another person, although they were attempting to recover the phone from water this later caused the damage shown on the phone… This was not a deliberate act but a stupid mistake."
So microwaving a gadget is not a good way to save it from water damage. Who'd have thunk it?

United States Army Awards $12 Million Contract for AeroVironment Wasp AE Small Unmanned Aircraft Sys
United States Army Awards $12 Million Contract for AeroVironment Wasp AE Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems on Behalf of United States Marine Corps
- Largest order to date for newest AeroVironment small unmanned aircraft system
- Provides upgraded capabilities to lowest echelon of Marine Corps
MONROVIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AeroVironment, Inc. (NAS: AVAV) today announced that NAVAIR's Program Office for Navy & Marine Corps Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems (PMA-263), working collaboratively with the United States Army's Counter-IED Program Office, awarded a contract on Sept. 21, 2012 for AeroVironment Wasp® AE small unmanned aircraft systems, initial spares packages, training services, and one year of contractor logistics support. The PMA / Army team worked jointly to award the contract to PAR® Government Systems Corporation, which in turn secured the systems and services from AeroVironment for a total value of $12,032,430. Delivery was scheduled to occur within four months of contract award.

At home, Frenchy endears himself by sending C-notes into the stands, an encouragement for fans to buy a round of beers on him.

Subscribe To First Trailer For Paul W.S. Anderson's The Three Musketeers Updates
I've already subscribed
It's hard to argue that we actually need another movie about the THree Musketeers-- the swashbuckling French heroes have been the subject of countless films over the decades-- but with the new one coming from Resident Evil director Paul W.S. Anderson, we at least know we're in for something different. And as you can see in the film's first trailer that debuted today at Apple, the movie looks exactly like what you'd expect when Anderson's insane penchant for action meets a costume drama. Watch it below and see what I mean.
The movies stars Anderson's wife (and Resident Evil heroine) Milla Jovovich, who isn't a Musketeer but gets some intriguing screen time, along with Logan Lerman, Matthew Macfadyen and Ray Stevenson as the titular heroes. The supporting cast gets even more interesting from there-- Inglourious Basterds veterans Christoph Waltz and Til Schweiger pop up, along with Orlando Bloom and the suddenly-everywhere Juno Temple, who gets one of the trailer's few lines of dialogue. It's hard to tell exactly what the plot involves-- something about saving the world, fighting off enemies, blah blah blah-- but I think the entire point of the trailer is to make you not care. This movie is going to be pretty and possibly badass, which is all you really need to know. The Three Musketeers-- which, as the trailer won't let you forget, was shot in 3D-- hits theaters October 14 this year.

Luis Suarez working on behaviour
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has told ESPN that he is learning to control his temperament on the pitch -- but that his natural style means he will always be playing on the edge.
Suarez, 26, has returned from a 10-game ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic at the end of last season in the form of his life. He has scored 20 Premier League goals in just 15 matches and, barring injury or suspension, appears certain to finish as the top scorer in England.
The Uruguay international also courted controversy when he was banned for eight matches for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.
He has been booked only three times for Liverpool this season, a tally he had reached by Sept. 15 in the 2012-13 campaign. It shows he has worked hard to improve his behaviour, something the player knows he had to bring under control.
"My temperament, my attitude, my desire and hunger when I'm on the pitch has always been like this and will continue to be this way. I know now that I have to control it a bit more," he explained to ESPN Deportes.
"An example came about two weeks ago I had an open shot at goal that hit the post. It rebounded close to my hand, and I was about to go for it but then stopped. If the same thing happened two months ago I would have gone for it.
"These things stay with me but I'm changing, I'm improving my attitude on the pitch because I know I was wrong in the past. I was creating an image of myself that I know wasn't me."
The Uruguay international signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool before Christmas therefore putting to bed, for the time being at least, speculation over this future with both Arsenal and Real Madrid keeping a close eye on his progress.
"I want to play football and I want to help Liverpool win as long as possible," he added. "I'm happy to be in the Premier League which is the best league in the world. This is what matters to me.
"As for the financial aspects, you always want to be comfortable for the future because the career of a footballer is short. I wish it wasn't so short, but after having lived through some difficult times growing up I'm in a very comfortable situation today thanks to the good work and effort I've shown over the last few seasons.
"Today all I am thinking about is Liverpool. I don't want to create any controversy or anything. I am more than happy with my life here and my wife and children are very happy as well. We are very content with our life.
"I am with a spectacular club that I've always wanted to play for. The team is playing well, I feel comfortable on the pitch, I feel comfortable despite what happens in other stadiums. I love playing here in England and that is the only thing I think about."
Liverpool are enjoying their best season for years and currently sit in the fourth and final Champions League qualifying position. They have fallen six points behind league leaders Arsenal but Suarez hopes the demands of European competition will take their toll on the teams above them.
"This is an aspect that we will have to take advantage of in February and March," said Suarez. "All of the clubs ahead of us are in the Champions League so they will be more tired after playing more matches... Obviously the intensity in the Champions League is difficult to handle; it tires you and the stress can change you. So we have to take advantage of this.
"I don't know if we have what it takes to be champions due to the lack of a couple of things, such as being able to match the same level as the other big clubs and their skill level. We didn't deserve to lose either of the matches played recently against the top clubs [defeats at Manchester City and Chelsea] but it's alright, we are playing well and are on the right track."

European Commission - Press release
Antitrust: the Commission calls on France to ensure non‑discriminatory allocation of digital TV broadcasting frequencies
Brussels, 29 September 2011 – The Commission expects France to bring its procedure for granting digital TV broadcasting frequencies into line with European Union law in order to enable French viewers to benefit from enhanced digital terrestrial TV programming as rapidly as possible. The Commission is of the opinion that the French system under which three incumbent broadcasters1 were granted additional TV channels ('compensatory channels') without any competitive tendering procedure is contrary to European Union law, penalises rival broadcasters and deprives French viewers of more attractive programming. The Commission's request takes the form of a 'reasoned opinion' under EU infringement proceedings. France now has two months to comply with the relevant EU law, otherwise the Commission may refer it to the Court of Justice of the European Union.
The transition from analog to digital broadcasting by 2012 constitutes one of the EU's policy objectives. This change provides the possibility of recycling a significant proportion of the radio frequency spectrum for new services and for additional programmes ('the digital dividend'). In order to make certain that this digital dividend leads to the entry of new players capable of breathing new life into the market and expanding viewer choice, the Commission ensures its allocation by way of open, transparent, objective, non-discriminatory and proportionate procedures, except for the specific case of channels pursuing general interest objectives.
The system for allocating additional TV channels without any competitive tendering procedure set up in France in 2007 to anticipate the switchover to digital terrestrial television is contrary to European Union law on a number of grounds. First, such a procedure can only be adopted in the specific case of channels pursuing general interest objectives, which is not true of the three channels in question.
In addition, the granting of frequencies by way of compensation does not seem consistent with the notion of proportionality, since the alleged prejudice caused to the broadcasters concerned by bringing the date forward for the end of analog broadcasting by a couple of months appears negligible and may even have been offset by advantages granted in the past. Furthermore, the Commission regards the automatic award of additional channels, when new entrants are obliged to take part in a call for applications, with no guarantee of success, as a form of discrimination.
The EU legislation applying is the following:
Commission Directive 2002/77/EC of 16 September 2002 on competition in the markets for electronic communications networks and services ('Competition Directive'), Official Journal L 249, 17.9.2002, pp. 21-26.
Directive 2002/20/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on the authorisation of electronic communications networks and services ('Authorisation Directive'), Official Journal L 108, 24.4.2002, pp. 21-32.
For more information on EU infringement proceedings, see MEMO/11/646.

The RV industry today (Nov. 27) launched the 50th National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky., at "Outlook 2013: A Golden Opportunity" an informative, entertaining program that provided details of the industry's prospects for 2013 and an update on advertising and public relations initiatives.
The event began at 7:30 a.m. and was attended by approximately 1,000 RV manufacturers, dealers and industry representatives. Go RVing Co-Chairs Bob Olson and Tom Stinnett partnered with RVIA Public Relations Committee Chairman B.J. Thompson and RVIA Vice President of Public Relations and Advertising James Ashurst for a multimedia presentation recapping 2012 accomplishments in the advertising and public relations arenas, according to a news release.
"We have a strong public relations team at RVIA," Thompson told the audience. "I'm proud of the work we've done to promote the RV lifestyle, combat misperceptions and position the industry as growing, vibrant and innovative."
Successes Outlined
Thompson discussed a few of the industry's media relations successes, including coverage on TV networks such as ABC News, FOX News Channel and HGTV. He also highlighted digital media placements and detailed RVIA's plans to commit more resources to online outlets in the future.
"It used to be that people only got news from print publications, television or radio," Thompson said. "Times have changed. More than a third of adult Americans own a tablet or smart phone to read news stories or watch video clips."
This year, RV coverage appeared in several major digital outlets, including Yahoo! News, SheKnows.com and MadeMan.com.
Stinnett and Olson reported on strong results from the new "AWAY" Go RVing advertising campaign. The pair emphasized the campaign's strategic shift to focus on media brands that provide the opportunity to build cross-platform partnerships.
"Consumers are really engaging with our message," Stinnett said. "We've experienced great success in our first year of targeting brand-building partnerships. Our co-branded initiatives with Great American Country and Outdoor Channel drew 46,000 new leads."
The new ads, which debuted in early 2012, resonated with consumers, Olson told attendees.
"Our research demonstrates that consumers look favorably on what our industry is selling," Olson said. "Our messaging about RVs allowing consumers to spend more time doing the things they want to do with the people they want to do them with — works. It reinforces the need to keep getting our industry's message out to as many consumers as possible."
Ashurst closed the presentation by discussing some of the plans for Go RVing in 2013.
"Next year you will see a return of some of our best performing partners, as well as several new offerings," Ashurst said. "One such deal is a sizeable partnership with Discovery Networks' newest lifestyle cable network, Destination America, which will explore the people, places and stories of the United States while celebrating the tenacity, hard work and humor that characterizes our great nation."
In addition, Go RVing will partner with Travel Channel and will expand its outreach to the Hispanic market.

2004 Student International Wales 10 Australia 38
In front of over 300 in the small Rhondda Valley town of Treorchy
In front of over 300 in the small Rhondda Valley town of Treorchy, Australia retained their unbeaten record in their UK leg of their Academic Ashes tour with a 38-10 win over Wales.
Australia took the lead in the sixth minute after an even early few minutes. Following Wales being penalised for holding down on the tackle, an excellent set of passes following the resulting penalty, allowed Steve Callum to superbly weave his way through the Welsh defence to ground in the corner. Gerard Parle kicked the tricky conversion.
Paddy Allendorpia looked to have increased the lead ten minutes later but was held up after he crossed the line, while Ali Kaurche was also denied a score, after being superbly tackled into touch by Cardiff Demons' Mark Dando.
But Kaurche did manage to ground in the 25th minute after forcing his way through three Welsh defenders.
Wales deservedly got on the board in the 32nd minute after not taking advantage of earlier opportunities to make their presence known. A fantastic 80-degree off-load from Dan Nelmes, found Sheffield Eagles' Pete Moore who ran 40 metres down the wing to score the try of the match. Matt Jackson converted to bring Wales within four points.
But the Australians went in with a 10-point lead at half-time after Kade Sutherland grounded on the right-hand corner and Ali Kaurche kicked the extras.
Wales narrowed the gap after only seven minutes of the second half. Following some early Australian pressure, Wales recovered to produce an excellent set of six culminating in another 40-metre run, this time from Aberavon's Sean O'Brien after Newport's Dan Nelmes provided the off-load.
Following an accurate Parle penalty, Australia further increased their lead with a controversial try in the 59th minute, Ryan Smith sliding in under the posts after it looked like Sam Williams pass to Kaurche in the lead-up was forward.
Parle's 30-metre run just two minutes later put the Australians further ahead while they completed the scoring with two tries in the last five minutes.
First Sam Williams scored in the corner following the play-the-ball after Matt Jackson's potentially try-saving tackle on Brett Spears then Kaurche grounded under the sticks in the final move of the game.
Wales showed plenty of promise and were never disgraced and with local junior schools, Parc Primary and Pen-yr-Renglyn playing a pre-match sevens game and Valley Cougars RLFC juniors providing the ball boys, the future of Rugby League in the valleys seems more and more secure.
"Obviously the result was disappointing," commented Wales coach Wayne Williams, "But the lads showed lots of commitment and will learn a lot from this top quality opposition. We will take these lessons away with us to use for next year's World Cup."
Wales: Matt Jackson, Sean O'Brien, Phil Carlton, Olly Green, Dan Nelme, Aled James, Pete Moore, Gareth Morgan, Joel Keen, Dewi Scourfield, Mark Dando, Matt Drew, Neil Davies. Subs: Dennis Pugh, Gavin Curry, Geraint Davies, Daniel ap Dafydd.
Tries: Moore (32), O'Brien (47)
Goals: Jackson 1/2
Australia: Brett Spears, Sam Williams, Jordan Atkins, Ali Kaurche, Steve Callum, Ryan Smith, Tony Morris, Mick Moore, Paddy Allendorpia, Jason Edmundson, Mick Green, Gerard Parle, Tony McFadden. Subs: Matt McKinnon, Kade Sutherland, Clint Loverine, Noel Attenborough.
Tries: Callum (6), Kaurche (25, 79), Sutherland (37), Smith (59), Parle (61), Williams (75)
Goals: Parle 4/7, Kaurche 1/1
Gamebreaker: Two tries and a penalty in five minutes midway through the second half put the game out of the reach of a plucky Welsh side.
Gamestar: Ryan Smith, who topped off a first class performance with a try.
Men of the Match: Wales: Matt Jackson. Australia: Ryan Smith.
Referee: Rev. Geoff Hilton (Manchester).
Half-time: 6-16
