There has always been an element of calculation with the music of Stereolab, and a title like Chemical Chords seems completely apt. This is not calculation in a "we don't really mean this music, we're smug nerds with Moogs" sort of fashion, more "we've worked hard on every note of this record, we know where each and every nuance is because we bled it". The hard work, the preparation and, yes, the calculation has been totally worth it. Chemical Chords is an apt title.
Most of these songs were, according to Tim Gane, the result of elaboration and augmentation on simple chord progressions he came up with in a rather short space of time. Consequently, there's an urgency to Stereolab that we haven't heard for some time. It would be wrong to say that they've turned it up to eleven, that they sound as if they're rocking out; but there's a definite compact aspect to everything assembled here. Though there isn't a great deal of musical space, the ways in which the band have made these simple cells into a functioning organism is wonderful.
The welcome return of Sean O'Hagan to the 'Lab fold will delight many, his string and brass arrangements running lithely through the whole record in a manner not so dominant as to overpower the simplicity of the foundations, but quirky enough to merit repeated examinations. The alternating, chorusing strings and horns on 'The Ecstatic Static' are particularly hopeful, and similarly their exposition on 'Self Portrait With "Electric Brain"' are pure charms and honky brilliance - mind the flutes over the top, they are top. So the whole thing is seamless, apparently, every song a minor miracle of dolled-up intelligence with no filler at all.
What one might think, though, is that this is territory covered in much better manners before, and that's by no means a foolish thing to think. Look at Brian Wilson - his chord progressions were much more complex than those assembled here, and so were the augmentations that extended them and gave them more life. Chemical Chords in comparison sounds like a slightly leaden debt to some moments on Pet Sounds, but to focus on that would be a gross missing of the point. The best way to explain this might be to equate symphonic pop to eating a chilli and to equate this record with eating a trifle.
Take a big mouthful of that chilli and flavours zing across your palate with maximum impact. Music is by turns at its most elaborate in construction but most brazen in the desired effect - massive emotional reaction. Maybe break for a sorbet, but then go right ahead and take a similarly big mouthful of that trifle. Intricacies are smaller in their distinction from the overriding flavour, and you'd be better off nibbling at it and letting the different layers come at you gradually. Chemical Chords is subtle and contains an easy charm throughout that, like a lot of previous Stereolab material, can lead one to miss things the first time through. You have to go back gradually and keep biting through the different layers. So it is, occasionally, wearing to go through this battle. _Do_ go through it, though.
Importantly, they haven't lost any ability in nailing the toe-tappers, the ones that light up their now incredibly impressive live sets. Opener 'Neon Beanbag' is set to become a stage regular, all Yo La Tengo shuffles and cheeky trombone, but with enough circulatory energy and melodic intrigue to make it work on record too. Though wrongly grandiose in its title, 'One Note Symphony' (perhaps a nod to that staple of Latin collections the world over, 'Una Nota De Samba') is premium slink in the way that only Stereolab tend to express themselves, with sexy chromatic lines falling down onto more of those delicious horn arrangements. For such a direct album, they've crammed in an awful lot.
While it doesn't touch on the epic dimensions Stereolab have proved themselves capable of, Chemical Chords is still substantially satisfying. That they've somewhat restricted themselves in the way the record was constructed is also, oddly, a very good thing because it's allowed them to strain and work within a framework and yield excellent results. It's not going to be to everyone's taste, maybe not even for Stereolab fans, but keep going back to it and the benefits will lodge themselves into your soaking brain.

This is my second chibi character that I said I was going to submit. If course just by looking at the tutorial picture, you already know that it is one of Nintendo's most popular game characters. I will now show you "how to draw chibi Mario step by step". I figured what better game character to draw than Mario from Mario Bros. Although I have to say that this chibi Mario came out looking cute and ugly at the same time. I say ugly because he is a character that is old which makes him a funny looking chibi. Mario came out awesome and I know that you guys will all love this version of Nintendo's mascot. I was going to consider drawing a chibi Luigi, but I decided that is something that needs to be requested first. I personally think that drawing a chibi Yoshi would be pretty cool because Yoshi is super cute when he is in regular form. I mean the possibilities are endless when it comes to choosing chibi characters. There is two more chibi game characters coming your way tomorrow because two different members requested two different chibis. Well I still have yet to upload two more lessons and I promise they are not going to be chibis. Have fun with this tutorial on "how to draw chibi Mario step by step". Have fun everyone, peace out and happy drawing!

Judge denies bond for man accused of beating woman, 80, to death
Authorities: Marcus Royal located in Virginia
The man accused of beating a woman to death in her Brevard County home was denied bond on Thursday.
Marcus Royal, 33, turned himself in to authorities in Virginia last week, officials said. He is charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, burglary with battery and violation of probation.
While waiting to make his initial appearance, Royal laughed and even smiled at times within the Brevard County Jail.
Royal was released from the Brevard County Jail on March 16 at 10:15 a.m., less than 24 hours before police said he killed 80-year-old Faye Jones.
Police described the homicide as "brutal" but did not say how she was killed. According to the medical examiner, Jones died of blunt force trauma to the head.
Jones was found bound by tape around her ankles, wrists and mouth. She was laying in a pool of blood when she was found.
"The fact that a victim is elderly is something courts can take into consideration when considering the death penalty," said Assistant State Attorney Gary Beatty.
Jones' friend, Michael Fallon, heard her scream and ran to her aid. He was also attacked by Royal and left in serious condition, according to police.
Fallon remains in critical condition at a hospital.
Police believe Royal stole Jones' car but it is not known if he was still driving that car when he was arrested in Richmond.
Royal has already spent much of his life locked up. When he was 14 years old, he was sent to prison for breaking into a home in cocoa and raping a 63-year-old woman at knifepoint.

TAGGED AS:avant-garde, free-jazz, lounge, post punk, san francisco, california, bay area, See Less...
A limited red vinyl repressing of this 1981 high-quality studio compilation album produced by Richard Kelly (Modern Masters Music) and featuring several of the jazz-punk-DIY-situationist bands that were born at Club Foot, San Francisco's premier artist-run venue of the 1980s: the LONGSHOREMEN, the ALTERBOYS, NAKED CITY, BAY OF PIGS, and the CLUB FOOT ORCHESTRA (augmented for this recording by the HIEROGLYPHICS ENSEMBLE). Critically acclaimed (count raves by author Greil Marcus among others), this has gotta be one of the more original and entertaining bunch of weirdos ever recorded. Yes, it is possible to experiment and have fun at the same time, and here's the proof. And yes, that is a young Richard Edson on the cover, one of the original Club Foot founders before he moved back to New York and got famous.

Cashner could be on the verge of stardom
With healthy 2013, Padres righty set stage for possible breakout '14 season
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Andrew Cashner, the best pitcher you might not know much about, answered all the pertinent questions last season for the Padres.
Healthy and productive, he made it to his club-mandated maximum of 175 innings as a starting pitcher. Cashner kept his team in games, winning more than he lost, and he was among the National League leaders in a wide range of important categories. He did everything manager Bud Black, the crafty old lefty, could have asked.
"Cash," as they call him in the clubhouse, was money.
Now, with the innings shield lifted, comes the next phase for the 6-foot-6, 230-pound right-hander from Texas: joining the elite company of the big boys in the business in his age-27 season.
"I don't see any reason why I can't" become one of the game's best, Cashner said, answering a question directly Saturday without a hint of arrogance. "I put a lot of pressure on myself. I've had some injuries that held me back in previous years, but everything kind of clicked last year in the second half. There's no reason why I can't keep that going."
If Cashner continues to provide exclamation marks with his overpowering repertoire and improving control, he can become a household name outside the beautiful city of San Diego. He's that talented.
"He has a fantastic arm," Padres pitching coach Darren Balsley said. "Andrew has come a long way."
Cashner came to Southern California from Chicago in a four-player swap that sent first baseman Anthony Rizzo to the Cubs after the 2011 season. A reliever as a rookie in 2010, he hit triple digits on the radar gun. Cashner missed almost all of '11 and about half of his '12 debut season in San Diego.
A torn rotator cuff in 2011 was followed the next year by an injury to a tendon that runs from the inside of his right arm to his armpit and into his lat.
Cashner credits the "care and methods" of strength and conditioning coach Brett McCabe with keeping his arm strong and functional.
"The biggest thing with a starter's mentality is efficiency -- taking a low amount of pitches deep in the game," Cashner said. "That, and how fast you recover for the next start."
Cashner was 10-9 with a 3.09 ERA in his 175 innings, striking out 128 men while yielding 151 hits and 47 walks. He was eighth in the NL in opponents' slugging percentage (.639) and batting average with runners in scoring position (.212) -- the latter a clear sign of his competitive fires.
His strikeouts per nine innings after moving from the bullpen to the rotation dropped from 10.1 to 6.6 -- by design.
Mixing in a changeup with his two breaking balls and a sinker in the 92-95 mph range, Cashner ranked fifth among NL starters with his 94.5 mph average heater. No longer was he going for triple digits, with his focus on staying in the game.
"I can still throw the ball hard late in the game when I want to," he said, sounding a lot like Justin Verlander. "When I throw 98-100 a whole start, it's taxing. I'm throwing my sinker more [now], and it's huge having the velocity late in the game."
Balsley, whose patience and insights Cashner values highly, initially didn't buy the idea of holding velocity for later innings.
"I didn't like it," Balsley said. "But he showed he can make it work. Not many guys can do that."
Cashner also showed last season he can swing the bat and run, hitting .245 with a homer and two steals. He was a shortstop and center fielder at Conroe (Texas) High School, also playing running back and some quarterback in football.
"I love to hit, but I was really skinny as a kid," he said. "I didn't have a growth spurt until [the summer between] my junior and senior year. I didn't play varsity baseball until my senior year. When I graduated high school I was 6-foot-4, 140 pounds."
At Angelina Junior College in Lufkin, Texas, Cashner began putting on weight and finding himself as a pitcher, courtesy of coach Jeff Livin.
"I didn't really know how to pitch in terms of mechanics," Cashner said. "Jeff is the guy who set the foundation for me for all the other pitching coaches I've had."
Moving on to Texas Christian University, he continued to blossom and was the Cubs' first-round pick (19th overall) in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft.
All through his youth, the pitcher Cashner most admired was Nolan Ryan. Cashner wears No. 34 because that was the number the legendary Express -- now an executive with the Astros after his success with the Rangers -- graced in Houston and Texas. The number was worn by another Texan, Kerry Wood, in Chicago.
"I got to play with Kerry in Chicago," Cashner said. "I've met Nolan Ryan [through mutual associates] and he's everything you'd want a hero to be."
In San Diego, Cashner now gets to pitch alongside free-agent acquisition Josh Johnson, the former Marlins star hoping to re-ignite his career with the Padres after a down season in Toronto.
Cashner and Tyson Ross, a 6-foot-6 righty with a bright future, figure to benefit from the presence of a credentialed veteran.
"I don't really know Josh," Black said, "but in the time I've been around him, there's a presence to him. You're talking about a two-time All-Star who's been through a lot -- he's had success, injuries. At 30 years old, [and having signed] out of high school, he's been in professional ball awhile and has experience that lends itself to taking a guy under his wing, mentoring him."
Cashner also has a Buddy for a skipper.
"I always wanted to play for a manager who was a pitcher," he said.
Paint it on the black, the boss advises.

Faith deployed: Army pastor combines missions
The 3,000-plus congregants of First United Methodist Church in Pearland knew they wouldn't have the Rev. Doretta Remy for very long, and when the day came to say goodbye, it was bittersweet for all.
They were sad to lose Remy yet proud of her mission. Remy left Pearland a year ago for a post as a chaplain at the U.S. Army base at Fort Riley, Kan.
The woman whose story began several years ago in Iraq will come full circle now that her unit is preparing for possible deployment to Afghanistan.
"I had to say goodbye to everyone after pouring my life into that congregation for two years," said Remy, 35 and an Army captain. "However, it was also sweet because I felt it was my best sermon to date."
Remy's final sermon was titled "Preach, Pray or Die."
"What I spoke of during that sermon is what I wanted them to carry with them long after I left," Remy said. "I got the title from Methodist founder John Wesley himself, who once said that 'Every Methodist pastor must always be ready to preach, pray or die at a moment's notice.' "
The Rev. Keith Whitaker, senior pastor at the Pearland church, said members still keep Remy in their thoughts.
"We're a congregation that's very supportive of the military, so there was a lot of love and support for Doretta when she was here, and there still is," Whitaker said. "We all miss her but at the same time are very proud of her. We'll certainly lift her up in prayer every day."
For Remy, it's about living her faith and living her dream to be a military chaplain.
"I get to be a part of closing things down in Afghanistan, but all of this started for me early in the war in Iraq," Remy said. "All the things I felt God calling me to do on my first deployment I will finally be doing. It's surreal to me how this has all played out."
In 2005, the native Texan was one week into her first teaching job at an elementary school in Beaumont when her Texas National Guard unit was deployed to Iraq.
Remy's main duty was assisting the brigade commander, but she often found herself offering comfort, prayers and Scripture to war-weary soldiers. That's when Remy felt the call to become a military chaplain.
After that year in Iraq, Remy headed to the Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University. Four years later, in 2010, she graduated magna cum laude with a master of divinity.
To be a Methodist chaplain in the Army, Remy also had to complete two years of service in the church. The Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church appointed Remy to First United Methodist in Pear-land. During that time, one weekend a month, Remy swapped her church attire for camouflage and combat boots as she received on-the-job chaplain training at the 1st Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment in Conroe.
Remy's husband, Joshua Remy, also a captain and a chaplain, works from the Fort Riley base as well. Since he's in a different unit that's not deploying, he'll stay behind in Kansas while she likely heads overseas.
As a battalion chaplain, Doretta Remy oversees the religious needs of hundreds. There are Bible studies, marriage retreats and counseling sessions, weddings, baptisms and communion. And recently, she prayed over a fleet of helicopters.
Remy is ready for the next phase of the life she feels God has chosen for her - serving her country in Afghanistan.
"I pray for the safety of our soldiers," Remy said. "I pray for strength to do the job and do it well, so we will bring honor to our unit and our country. I pray for guidance. At the end of the day, I just leave everyone, including myself, in God's hands."

Salacia oblonga
has a long history of use in the traditional
Ayurvedic medicine
system of India. Its bark has been used for treating diabetes, diarrhea, fever, arthritis, gonorrhea and skin diseases.
Since the late 1990's,
Salacia oblonga
has undergone modern research that has, to a certain highly preliminary extent, substantiated its traditional reputation as a treatment for
and obesity.
S. oblonga
may work similarly to the standard diabetes drug Acarbose, used in type 2 diabetes. Acarbose inhibits the intestinal enzyme alpha-glucosidase, an enzyme responsible for helping to digest carbohydrates. When alpha-glucosidase is inhibited, carbohydrate absorption is slowed, thereby reducing the rise in blood sugar that follows a meal.
double-blind, placebo controlled study
published in 2005 evaluated the effects of
S. oblonga
extract taken at a dose of 1000 mg daily.
In this study, 43 healthy people were given a high carbohydrate beverage with or without addition of the herb. The results showed that when the herbal extract was included, the normal rise in blood sugar and insulin following consumption of the beverage was significantly decreased. Additional evidence collected in this study (breath hydrogen levels) supported that hypothesis that S. oblonga works by inhibiting alpha-glucosidase.
Another double-blind study compared the effectiveness of various doses of
S oblonga
extract: 0, 500, 700 or 1000 mg daily.
Again, participants were given a high carbohydrate beverage. The results in these 39 people showed that the highest dose but not the lower doses significantly improved post-meal blood sugar and insulin levels. This type of "dose-related" effect, where higher doses have a greater effect, tends to bolster the confidence researchers can place in the results of a study.
However, neither of these studies involved people with diabetes. Further research will be necessary to actually determine whether
S. oblonga
is a useful treatment for people with this this condition.
Besides effects on carbohydrate absorption, some evidence weakly hints that
S. oblonga
might inhibit the enzyme aldose reductase.
In theory, this effect could mean that use of the herb might help prevent certain
complications of diabetes
, such as cataracts, peripheral neuropathy and retinopathy.
However, as yet the evidence to support this possibility remains far too preliminary to rely upon at all.
S. oblonga
has been marketed for

Worst-Ever Homeschool Law Proposed in Ohio
Staff Attorney Mike Donnelly answers questions and assists members regarding legal issues in Ohio. He and his wife homeschool. Read more >>
With the introduction of Senate Bill 248 on December 3, 2013, by Senator Capri Cafaro, Ohio has suddenly become a frontline in the battle over homeschooling freedom.
SB 248 is breathtakingly onerous in its scope. It requires all parents who homeschool to undergo a social services investigation which would ultimately determine if homeschooling would be permitted. Social workers would have to interview parents and children separately, conduct background checks and determine whether homeschooling is recommended or not. If it is not recommended, parents would have to submit to an "intervention" before further consideration of their request to homeschool.
SB 248 was offered by sponsors as a way to respond to the death of 14-year-old Teddy Foltz-Tedesco in January 2013. News reports indicate that Teddy had been abused for years by his mother's boyfriend, Zaryl Bush. After teachers reported abuse to authorities, Teddy's mother withdrew him from public school, allegedly to homeschool him. Reports tell a sad story of a broken home where neighbors, friends, family, police, teachers and others knew Teddy was suffering ongoing abuse. Finally, Bush beat Teddy so severely that he later died of his injuries. Both Bush and Teddy's mother are now in prison. A news report can be found online.
Unfair to Homeschoolers
HSLDA condemns child abuse and is saddened by Teddy's death. HSLDA supports the prosecution of child abusers like Bush and the improvement of systems that prevent child abuse. However, this proposed law does not actually address the problems that led to Teddy's death and instead unfairly targets homeschooling.
In recent years HSLDA has observed numerous attempts to severely restrict homeschooling in state legislatures around the country. In response to a growing number of academic critics, Michael Farris wrote "Tolerance and Liberty: Answering the Academic Left's Challenge to Homeschooling Freedom." Published in the Peabody Journal of Education and available online, Farris articulates why laws like SB 248 are unnecessary and un-American. His response to these critics who have proposed radical constraints on homeschooling freedom puts this latest attempt in the proper context.
Teddy Foltz-Tedesco was killed because those responsible for protecting him did not step in as the law or common sense would have dictated. Why? Although news reports indicate that abuse had been reported for years prior to Teddy's death, it does not appear that any serious intervention was made by government authorities charged with investigating such allegations. Why was not enough done to protect Teddy from known abuse?
System Failure
Even if, as SB 248 would require, his mother had sought social service's approval to homeschool and was denied, he still would have been at home subject to abuse after school. Regardless of where he went to school, Teddy was left by authorities in a home where they knew abuse was occurring.
Clearly, SB 248 would not have saved Teddy.
SB 248 turns fundamental American values upside down. Parents have been deemed by the United States Supreme Court in Parham v. JR to act in their children's best interests. In Pierce v. Society of Sisters, the Court ruled that parents have a fundamental right to direct the education of their children. This law replaces parents with unqualified social workers to make educational decisions for children.
What happened to Teddy Foltz-Tedesco is a tragedy that could have been prevented. If those responsible for investigating child abuse had done their job, Teddy might have been saved. The system needs reform, but Senate Bill 248 will increase the load on social workers by requiring them to investigate all families who want to homeschool rather than focusing resources on parents actually suspected of child abuse.
Rather than target tens of thousands of decent Ohioans who homeschool, policymakers like Cafaro should try to discover what prevented police and social workers who knew what was going on from taking action and faithfully enforcing Ohio's already adequate child protection laws. This bill is misguided and a step in the wrong direction.
HSLDA has requested its Ohio members contact the bill's sponsors to ask them to withdraw Senate Bill 248. However we encourage all our members to consider intervening. This misguided attack on homeschooling in Ohio may only be a precursor to more general attempts by some to impose similar restrictions on parents. Such attempts have been made in the past in numerous states but thanks to the work of HSLDA and state organizations, homeschooling has so far been protected.
For more information visit HSLDA's legislative summary of Ohio SB 248.
Protect Your Family
If you have questions or difficulties in a school accepting your family's homeschool diploma, don't hesitate to contact HSLDA. We are happy to assist you! If you aren't a member of HSLDA—what are you waiting for? By standing together we can fight discrimination against homeschoolers and protect our fundamental freedoms. Join today!

I'm a huge fan of the Hammer fist too
Guys was just wondering what your thoughts on the WW II axe hand strike is? And has anyone ever used it, espesially to the side of the neck?I know we can use forearms but wanted to know about striking with the hand.Thanksneljohn
Webby,if i may disagree that the sole purpose of WWI /WWII combatives and the follow up use of combat judo by the services was to create Fighting spirit.If Fighting spirit were all that was sought in training then the military would have kept boxing and wrestling as they did in WWI or as the GBJJ/MMA of todays US Army are used.WWII/FAS was geared toward engaging the enemy and ending the confrontation,stopping them from being able to continue on the field of battle.Combat judo was also used to engage the attacker close in,hurt them enough to remove them from the fight and move on.WWII/FAS and Combat Judo have finishes while boxing,wrestling ,GBJJ,MMA do not have finishes.Fighting spirit may have been a by product but not the initial intent of the course. NelJohnAs said by Canuk,do not hunt for the throat,take what they give you/what is available to you at a certain place in time during the conflict.My opinions
Back when I worked in behavior homes, the hammer fist was the overwhelmingly most popular fist for the residents to use in an attack.Some of the same residents used the same technique whether armed or unarmed. A hammer fist becomes the "Psycho Stab" when used with a knife, for example.IMO it is probably a natural way for humans to hit.That said, a shuto isn't difficult to do, and IMO is a better strike for the neck.
Others don't agree with this, here's a link to Neal Martin saying just that:http://www.combativemind.com/self-protection-hard-skills/4-combatives-strikes-popular-useless-real-fight-video/

Revamped Ferrari California To Debut At 2012 Geneva Motor Show
Although production has already began on the redesigned Ferrari California, the Italian automaker will show the front-engine V-8 powered grand touring 2+2 convertible at the Geneva Motor Show before it goes on sale. Ferrari says the new California should be faster than the current model thanks to a weight reduction, and modest bump in power.
The Italian automaker says the redesigned Ferrari California is 66 pounds lighter than the current car. The weight reduction comes from "cutting-edge aluminum fabrication techniques and construction technologies" employed in the California's chassis. Ferrari claims that structural integrity hasn't been negatively affected from the weight reduction.
Horsepower and torque have both increased. The outgoing model makes 454 horsepower and 357 lb-ft of torque. The new car will increase those numbers by 36 and 15, respectively. Expect the new car to bring 490 horsepower and 372 lb-ft of torque to dealer showrooms when it goes on sale. The 4.3-liter V-8's power increases come from redesigned exhaust manifolds and new software for the engine computer. Not only is peak torque up, but the curve has been modified for more power at all RPMs. Ferrari claims the power increase and weight reduction will enable the remodeled California to hit 60 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.8 seconds.
One highlight is the new Handling Speciale package, which pairs revised magnetorheological dampers (that respond 50 percent faster thanks to recalibrated software) with stiffer springs and a quicker power steering ratio helps minimize body roll and make the car more responsive to driver inputs. Ferrari claims the Handling Speciale package gives the driver more precise control without sacrificing ride comfort.
The Italian automaker will continue to offer the free seven-year standard maintenance program when the car goes on sale. Even though the new model is already in production, details on the Ferrari California's on-sale dates haven't been released. So far, Ferrari has only said that Europe will receive the first deliveries, but we're hoping the North American market isn't far behind.

The Truth About Food Labels
Here's a surprisingly little secret: You know all those dates you see on food products—sell by, use by, best before? Those dates do not indicate the safety of your food, and generally speaking, they're not regulated. Photo: Drew Evans for The Wall Street Journal.

BMW Connected Drive Services & Apps in the BMW 7 Series.
Communication, information and entertainment – BMW ConnectedDrive Services & Apps give you a whole new experience of mobility. For example, you can set the air conditioning in your BMW 7 Series in advance via your smartphone, or use Concierge Service as your personal travel guide while on the road.
The equipment option ConnectedDrive Services forms the basis for BMW ConnectedDrive functions, which provide the driver with a wide range of information, entertainment and service features while on the road.
The package includes access to current location-based information such as weather and news for example, as well as an online search powered by GoogleTM and practical office functions.
Convenient, secure and unlimited access to selected smartphone apps is also integrated.The equipment option ConnectedDrive Services offers all this and more, making every trip in a BMW a real experience.
The illustrations shown here are subject to change.
The Apps equipment feature is a platform enabling convenient use of selected smartphone apps in BMW vehicles. To make a variety of apps available for their customers, BMW not only develops its own apps, such as BMW Connected App and the BMW M laptimer, but also works closely with partners like Spotify, Napster, GoPro, Deezer and Audible so that those apps can also be used safely inside the car.
Simply attach a compatible smartphone to the vehicle via the Snap-in adapter or a smartphone USB cable, or wirelessly. All of the app's functions can then be conveniently operated via the iDrive Controller. The selection of apps available for use in the car is constantly expanding thanks to close partnerships between BMW and a variety of different suppliers. For further information see www.bmw.com/apps.
BMW ConnectedDrive customer portal
In the BMW ConnectedDrive customer portal, personal information and vehicle settings can be managed that are necessary or useful when using BMW ConnectedDrive functions in the car, in various apps or the BMW ConnectedDrive call centre. The vehicle can be pre-heated or cooled for a particular departure time, unlocked or locked, the horn activated or the lights flashed. The current vehicle location is displayed on a map along with the current traffic situation. Points of interest can be searched for and sent to the vehicle. The interface design of the function area is based on the Control Display of the vehicle as well as the BMW ConnectedDrive Apps, and is also optimised for use on smartphones or tablets.
Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI) provides the most up-to-date traffic information at all times. Precise details about the location and duration of delays are transmitted in order to keep the driver informed, practically in real time, about the current traffic situation on motorways, country roads and on many routes within the city. Intelligent alternative route suggestions help the driver reach their destination as quickly and efficiently as possible.
The data are drawn from such sources as anonymous movement profiles from the GPS data of vehicle fleets, smartphone apps and police reports, and also takes into account established traffic patterns such as peak commute times.
The traffic information is clearly presented, with the roads depicted in green, yellow, orange and red.
The Intelligent Emergency Call guarantees fast, targeted assistance round-the-clock as well as support from trained staff – in the driver's native language, even when they're abroad. If an accident takes place involving the activation of an airbag or the belt tensioners (for example), the system automatically issues an emergency call. Relevant details such as the exact position of the car, the severity of the accident and the possible risk of injury to occupants are transmitted to the BMW call centre via the car's built-in SIM card, i.e. independent of a private mobile phone. The BMW call centre will inform the nearest rescue coordination centre and provide assistance over the phone until the rescue services arrive. The emergency call can also be triggered manually, in case other road users require help.
With Remote Services and the free My BMW Remote App (available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store), various vehicle-related functions, such as locking and unlocking the car, can be operated remotely. It is also possible to directly transmit destination addresses found using the Google™ search engine to a navigation system if one is available.
This information package is rounded out with the current location of the vehicle. To use this feature, customers simply need to activate Remote Services once in the BMW ConnectedDrive customer portal at www.bmw-connecteddrive.com.

@David: you are certainly right about the difference in weight between the Gabrhel and the Palecek piece -- still the idea seems to be the same.I couldn't find any reference when the Gabrhel piece has been designed...edit: in the Ricke book is a Gabrhel vase in the same style, dated 1967.The Palecek piece is 1975, so not much doubt which one came first.
P.P.S. The Svoboda bowl is oddly interesting... I really like the way the wide bowl balances on the small paperweight base.
Small... The ball shaped base is 13 cm in diameter, and weighs more than 2 kg I guess.

Movie Stars and Gossip
Brian Bowen Smith for REDBOOK
"I'm proud to sit out the baby weight rat race," new mom Kristen Bell Tweeted Friday – and the House of Lies star proves it with her September Redbook cover.
In the story, which features photos taken 11 weeks after her daughter Lincoln was born in March, Bell says that she's 15 lbs. heavier than her pre-pregnancy weight, and she's okay with that.
"I'm going to continue working out and see where it goes," the actress, 33, explains.
"I'd like to get back down to where I was before the baby … But if this is where my body wants to be, so be it. I'm not going to make myself miserable for the rest of my life trying to get back to where I was before."
"I like my Lincoln Leftovers because they're proof I did something extraordinary. I gave life to my new BFF & she gave me a comical amount of midsection skin," Bell Tweeted, and she admits that her fianc , Parenthood star Dax Shepard, loves her new curves.
"All he did was tell me he loved me chubby," she reveals. "He even asked me to stay chubby after the baby was born."
Bell gained 43 lbs. with Lincoln and has lost some of the weight through healthy eating – fruits, veggies and protein shakes – and low-impact workouts, along with the slimming side effects of breastfeeding. And she insists that she didn't obsess about her weight gain while she was pregnant, so she's not about to start freaking out about it now.
"I refused to worry about something I could not change, and I still refuse," she says. "Look, I'm like any other woman. All this evolved b.s. that I'm telling you is my mantra: It's not something I practice naturally. I had to surrender to not worrying about the way I looked, how much I weighed, because that's just part of the journey of having a baby. I am not a woman whose self-worth comes from her dress size."

Miller Syncrowave 210 TIG/Stick Welder
Have It Either Way
The Miller Syncrowave welder is considered an "old standby" by many amateur and professional car builders. They have been in continuous production for decades and have earned a solid reputation as a nearly bulletproof, easy-to-use TIG welding machine with a very stable arc. Miller recently released an updated version of the Syncrowave machine, the 210 TIG/Stick Welder, and the big news is that it is now powered by inverter technology. Miller has used inverter technology in other lines for some time, so it's not surprising to see the venerable Syncrowave come on board, too.
I first saw the Syncrowave 210 machine at the SEMA show in November 2013, and I was intrigued. It's designed for serious amateur welders and light-industrial applications (like street rod shops). I was able to try out this machine and put it through its paces thoroughly, and my report follows.
So what is "inverter technology," and does it really aid the welding process? All electric welding machines take the power that comes from the wall and change it into a form that is suited for welding. One of the chief changes is lowering the voltage, typically 115 V or 230 V as supplied by your power company, which makes high-amperage welding possible. This is done with a transformer. In older welders, the transformers had many windings of fat wire over a gigantic core, which often weighed hundreds of pounds. While this got the job done, the old-style transformers were not very power efficient, plus they were bulky and required a large cabinet to house them. Many of you have seen older TIG machines nearly the size of a refrigerator; this is the signature of the old-style transformer machines.
Inverter welders have transformers too, but what makes them unique is the solid-state circuitry used to boost the alternating current from the 60 cycles per second (hertz, or Hz) that comes from your wall outlet up to 1,000 Hz or more. The transformers in an inverter design operated much more efficiently at these stratospheric frequencies, so they can be made much smaller, and they don't have the same internal losses, which make them considerably more efficient. Once the voltage is dropped, more solid-state magic brings the hertz back down to more appropriate levels, and other beneficial tweaks can be added, such as shaping the AC waveform, adding pulse capabilities, changing the power to direct current (used for welding steel, stainless, and chrome-moly) and more. (I'll cover these in detail shortly.)
A rule of thumb for TIG welding is that you need one amp for every 1,000th inch of metal thickness that you're welding. For example, 1/4-inch plate requires about 250 amps of welding current, and with a traditional machine this might require a supply circuit with a 70-amp breaker. Not many home shops can provide this kind of power, and it can be quite expensive to add a new circuit. An inverter machine can weld 1/4-inch material while drawing only 30 amps, and a lot of houses already have this type of wiring in place to handle heavy appliances like clothes dryers.
Let's take a close look at the improvements that have been made to the Syncrowave 210. The compact size and reduced weight is probably the first thing you'll notice when comparing the new machine with its predecessors. It comes standard with wheels attached, and incorporates a sturdy platform for holding the argon cylinder. It's easy to move this machine anywhere it's needed, and I really like the low platform for the cylinder, easing loading, and unloading. There's lots of storage space inside the cabinet, accessible through a large, top-hinged door. This provides a place for storing the TIG torch, the foot pedal, the work clamp, and their cables. There is also a handy chart inside this cover, listing typical setup parameters.
There is a smaller hinged storage compartment on the front of the machine for holding consumables, like ceramic cups and tungsten electrodes, as well as different size collets and back caps for the torch. It's great to have these at your fingertips and organized in discreet compartments.
The simplicity of the front panel really caught my attention. Many people are confused and intimidated by the array of knobs and switches most TIG welders have. Miller has provided a lot of adjustability with elegantly simple controls. There is an on-off switch, conveniently located on the front of the machine, and two digital displays that show the settings. There is one (process) knob that can be switched to three positions; AC TIG (for welding aluminum and magnesium), DC TIG (for welding most everything else), and DC Stick for doing traditional arc welding (which this machine is great at). There is a second knob, used for changing the welding parameters, and a push button used to cycle between the functions you're adjusting. That's it. Setup is extremely easy and this machine debuts the "Pro-Set" feature, which provides pre-programmed weld parameters that have been optimized by the welding engineers at Miller for most welding situations. Honestly, the default settings worked so well that I used them for several days before I experimented with the various adjustments available.
"Auto-Line" is another feature new to the Syncrowave 210. This automatically adjusts the machine to any incoming power between 115 and 230 V. The power cord has two interchangeable plugs, one for a standard 115V receptacle and one for 230V. No internal adjustments are necessary; the machine automatically accommodates whatever line voltage it's connected to. It's so convenient to be able to run this machine on 115V; although the maximum output power is somewhat limited, it allows you the versatility to weld in places that only have 115V service (like many home garages or even inside your bedroom).
1. Here's the updated Syncrowave 210 welder, a 210-amp AC-DC Inverter TIG machine that's easy to use. It has excellent default settings and simplified but comprehensive adjustability.
2. Most automotive users weld steel sheetmetal more than anything else, and the default DC TIG settings do a beautiful job for repairs, patch panels, and body modifications.
3. The Syncrowave 210 is ideal for structural welds, too. This is a long miter joint being welded on square tubing.
4. Round tubing requires more torch manipulation to navigate the joints, but with a little practice you can make strong, attractive weld beads with full penetration.
5. The control panel is extremely easy to use, with only two knobs and one push button. Once you select a process (AC TIG, DC TIG, or DC Stick) you can quickly set the parameters.
6. It's challenging to make a weld close to an edge. Here, the edge of the vertical tube has been melted by the nearby weld.
7. Pulsing makes it much easier to weld close to an edge without burning through.
8. Pulsing is very beneficial when welding sheetmetal too. Notice how little distortion the pulsed sample on the left has. Pulsing makes a huge difference, especially on stainless parts like these.
My first welding job was joining some mild steel pieces. I turned the machine on, used the process knob to select "DC TIG," selected 100 amps with the other knob, and I was ready to go in seconds. The default settings worked perfectly, and I was laying down clean, controlled weld beads with no need to fool around with any other adjustments. I tried the machine on stainless and chrome-moly, and the default settings worked great with those, too. To weld aluminum, I switched the process knob to "AC," and again, the default settings gave me great results.
You may wonder why they even offer more adjustability if the machine works so well "out of the box." Well, there are certain situations where advanced controls are beneficial. Let's look at the "pulse" settings first. When the welder is in pulse mode, it automatically cycles between a high (peak) amperage, and a low (background) amperage. You set the peak with the parameter knob, and the background is automatically adjusted to 50 percent of the peak amperage.
Pulsing can be set from 0 to 50 pulses per second. The chief advantage is that you can make a good, full-penetration weld while lowering the total heat put into the metal, and this can result in less burn-through and distortion. If you do much work with sheetmetal, these benefits can be dramatic. Another place where pulsing is helpful is when welding close to an edge. It's very tricky to keep an edge from melting away when the puddle gets close, but pulsing keeps the total heat down, making it easier to approach edges without melting through.
One lovely characteristic of TIG welding is the "dime-on-dime" pattern in the weld bead when everything is done properly. Some people like to accentuate this pattern by choosing a very low pulse rate, perhaps one or two per second. Then the pulsing can be used like a metronome, so you add filler on the "hot" portion of the pulse, and advance the puddle on the cooler portion. With some practice, this can lead to beautiful results.
Another adjustment is the "balance" of the AC waveform. This controls the Electrode Negative (EN) portion of the arc, leaving the "balance" Electrode Positive (EP). The oxide removal, often referred to as the cleaning action of the arc, is crucial for aluminum welding, and only occurs in the EP portion of the cycle. In the EN portion of the cycle, most of the heat is concentrated in the work piece, which is key to maintaining tungsten geometry and improving weld quality. The Syncrowave 210 allows adjustments between 60 and 80 percent EN. It is sometimes beneficial to fine-tune the EN-EP balance for particular jobs. A great way to see the difference between these settings is to run two beads on an aluminum plate, one at 60 percent balance and one at 80 percent. You'll see the "frosted" area next to the weld bead (the area cleaned by the arc) will be noticeably wider in the 60 percent setting, while the penetration will be greater in the 80 percent setting. The accompanying photo shows this clearly.
You can also dial-in the diameter of your tungsten electrode to optimize arc starts, and manually set the duration of argon post-flow. There is an "auto" setting for post-flow, governed by the weld parameters you're using, and this worked so well I never saw a need to change it.
The default setting is for high-frequency arc initiation, so the arc can be started without touching the electrode to the base metal, but there is also a "lift-arc" mode, which can be beneficial in situations where high-frequency circuitry could cause interference with sensitive electronic devices. This utilizes a reduced sensing voltage rather than the "scratch-start" mode used by some other manufacturers, making electrode contamination virtually irrelevant.
While the Syncrowave 210 will be used as a TIG welder by most users, it is excellent for stick welding, too. When the process control is in the DC Stick position, you can adjust the "DIG" settings (controlling low-voltage properties) from 0 to 100 percent, and there are Pro-Set values for the common 6010 and 7018 electrodes. One advantage of arc welding is that no shielding gas is necessary, and the machine is much easier to transport if you don't need to haul a gas cylinder, too.
There is a slot on the front panel where you can plug in optional SD memory cards available from Miller, to add more capabilities through software upgrades. One of these cards allows you to increase the speed of pulsing up to 150 pulses per second, and another card allows you to adjust the AC frequency between 60 and 150 Hz. While these upgrades are not necessary for most hobby car builders, the enhanced capabilities extend the range of adjustability to rival industrial machines costing much more.
If you're in the market for a moderately priced TIG welder that's easy to use, has lots of adjustability, and is easily upgradable, take a look at the new Miller Syncrowave 210.
9. The pulse can be set slow to help you add filler rod in a rhythmic manner, leaving the dime-on-dime signature of a beautiful TIG weld.
10. The Syncrowave 210 is an excellent machine for arc welding, too, with lots of adjustability for different types of electrodes and various joint configurations.
11. You can easily adjust AC Balance. The top bead was made at 60 percent Electrode Positive, giving better cleaning, and the lower bead is at 80 percent, which reduces the oxide removal.
12. Looking at the back side of the same part, you can see the deeper penetration on the bottom, attained with the balance set to 80 percent EN.
13. This machine has enough power to weld aluminum or steel up to 1/4-inch thickness. Castings can often be welded without pre-heating.
14. There's lots of storage inside the hinged cover, making it easy to organize your cables.
15. The machine comes with comprehensive setup instructions. This handy chart is right inside the hinged cover, providing clear instructions for common welding setups.
16. This chart gives detailed instructions on how to navigate the menus that control the advanced features.
17. Many Miller accessories can be used with the Syncrowave 210. Their cordless foot pedal is a perfect fit.

Hi people i need you to help me with a problem.
It regards dynamic combo boxes( i think they are called dynamic because i googled it and thats how most people describe it), now I do have ComboBoxes covered in my book, but it doesn't cover what I need now. For my project I need to build 2 combo boxes. And I can select a value from the first combo box and that value will then directly effect the second combo box which will then contain values which are dependent on the value chosen in the first combo box. Now I can implement regular combo boxes in my program and make them work, but I just can not find a good and clear example of how the communication between them works, so if anyone could be kind enough to help me out here, I would appreciate it very much.

Since there are different sources of information for Harry Potter canon and sources do, on occasion, conflict with one another, the following guide is to be used on The Harry Potter Compendium. In order to simplify the different areas that exist as sources for canon information in the Harry Potter universe we have devised a three tier system summarised below. Please remember any type of fanon, information created by fans using the Harry Potter characters, is not considered canon at all and must be marked as such, unless made canon by a legitimate source.
Although there are different levels of canon, this does not mean relevant information cannot be included in situations where there are conflicting canon sources. Ambiguous continuity should always be noted. If an "official" canon source has been chosen, (e.g. J. K. Rowling has said that a fact was a mistake and it was meant to be something else), the information from the conflicting source should still appear in the article in the "Behind the scenes" section.
Basically put, everything is canon unless specifically contradicted by a "higher" source.
Canon tiersEdit
- JKR - These sources come from J. K. Rowling herself. When J. K. Rowling contradicts herself, the newest source is to be taken as the "most" canon.
- Books
- Other writings by Rowling set within the Harry Potter universe, i.e. the "Harry Potter Prequel" short story.
- J. K. Rowling's Official Website
- Pottermore
- Interviews
- JKR Involved - These sources do not contain information directly from the "mouth" of J. K. Rowling, yet they are projects that she was involved in.
- JKR Licensing - These sources are where J. K. Rowling licensed the use of the Harry Potter universe to another company or individual.
- Video games
- The 8 Harry Potter video games
- Tie-in video games, such as Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, and LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7
- Wizard Cards
- Harry Potter Trading Card Game
- Other official merchandise
- Video games
Examples of usageEdit
- Oliver Wood mentions in the Philosopher's Stone film that he took a Bludger to the head in the first few minutes of his first ever Quidditch game. This is never mentioned in the books. Is it canon according to our guide? Yes, since there is no evidence from the books to say that it didn't happen.
- The Harry Potter games contain a spell known as Avifors to change statues into birds. Is this canon according to our guide? Yes, since there is no evidence to suggest that such a spell doesn't exist. This can generally be applied to most spells/items from the games.
- In the Goblet of Fire film, Krum attacks Fleur in the Maze during the Triwizard Tournament. Is this considered canon? No, because the book, a higher source of canon, specifically states that Crouch/Moody did it. However, it should be noted in the "Behind the scenes" section.
- Mafalda is a cut character from an early draft of Goblet of Fire. Is she canon according to our guide? Yes and no. The fact that she exists may be considered canon, but anything about her intended part in the story cannot be considered canon because it did not happen in the books.
- In the games, are the various challenges/levels considered canon according to our guide? Yes and no. Levels like the Glacius Challenge from the Prisoner of Azkaban game should not be considered canon since it is highly unlikely that the students would be put in danger like that. However, challenges like helping to assemble Dumbledore's Army for their first meeting in Order of the Phoenix could conceivably be considered canon because they usually involve helping out with a task to free the student up to attend.

Heineken Cup
Laidlaw reserves praise for Bradley
ESPNscrum Staff
April 9, 2012
Greig Laidlaw guided Edinburgh to a famous victory at Murrayfield on Saturday © Getty Images
Edinburgh skipper Greig Laidlaw has hailed the influence of coach Michael Bradley after their historic Heineken Cup victory over Toulouse.
The former Ireland boss took charge of the Scottish side in May last year and despite teething problems in the RaboDirect PRO12 - where they lie 11th - their European form has been outstanding.
Their Murrayfield triumph over Toulouse - four-time European champions - secured a first-ever Heineken Cup semi-final for a Scottish team and Laidlaw believes that a great deal of credit lies with Bradley.
"Michael's been hugely important," he told BBC Sport. "He has been a breath of fresh air for the club this year.
"He has brought in a sense of real direction on how he wants us to play the game.
"We knew before the game we could win as we have a lot of belief in our squad. It ranks highly up there as one of the best victories in my career."
Laidlaw, capped seven times by Scotland, also believes that the bumper-crowd of 37,881 shows that there is a market for professional rugby in the city after several years of disappointing attendances and national and provincial level.
"It was a great achievement for the club and the players were extremely satisfied with their performance and it was great to see a massive crowd at Murrayfield," he said.
"It really caught the imagination of the Scottish rugby public this game. It just shows that, if Edinburgh, and Glasgow as well, are going to be involved in these big games at the end of the season, I truly believe there is a big support there for the pro teams in Scotland."

Madam Speaker, as members know, Canadians are celebrating Earth Day, the largest international environmental event when over 100 countries will be pausing and reflecting on the status of our environment and earth.
To mark that occasion I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the first ever sustainable development strategy for the Department of the Environment.
All departments by the end of this year will have to table their reports which will be analyzed by the first ever sustainable development commissioner, whom this government appointed a few months back.
I hope we can make the earth a little cleaner and a little healthier.
