Charlie Watts On What Makes 'Satisfaction' So Satisfying

MELISSA BLOCK, HOST:
This week, we're talking to The Rolling Stones one by one. They're celebrating their 50th anniversary as a band and we asked each of the Stones to pick one song from their archive to talk about. Yesterday, Keith Richards riffed on "Street Fighting Man," and today, we'll hear from drummer Charlie Watts, at 71, the eldest statesman of the band.
As the Stones' website says, despite resigning after ever tour since 1969, Charlie continues to be the heartbeat of The Rolling Stones.
CHARLIE WATTS: So I chose "Satisfaction," honey.
(SOUNDBITE OF "SATISFACTION")
WATTS: It was just the first really big record we ever made. And it's an iconic riff. It just sums up the whole period, really.
(SOUNDBITE OF "SATISFACTION")
MICK JAGGER: (Singing) I can't get no satisfaction. I can't get no satisfaction. 'Cause I try, and it try, and I try and try. I can't get no.
BLOCK: Do you remember, as you were recording it, thinking, this is a great song, this song is going to be huge?
WATTS: No.
BLOCK: No?
WATTS: No. You never dream things like that.
BLOCK: It was the first number one single in the states, right?
WATTS: I don't know. It was quite a big record. I don't know if it was. I don't know, I'm sorry.
BLOCK: That's okay.
WATTS: I'm not very good at — we need Bill Wyman for that sort of thing.
(SOUNDBITE OF "SATISFACTION")
JAGGER: (Singing) I can't get no. No, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey.
BLOCK: I read this, Charlie Watts, that originally that the song was at a different tempo. And when you re-recorded it, you set a different pace. Is that right?
WATTS: I don't remember that. Going well, this interview, isn't it?
(SOUNDBITE OF "SATISFACTION")
JAGGER: (Singing) And I try and I try and I try and I try. I can't get no.
BLOCK: You mentioned Bill Wyman, the longtime bass player for the Stones. I wanted to ask you about something that he said. He said every rock and roll band follows the drummer, except our band. Our drummer follows the rhythm guitarist, who is Keith Richards. Would you agree with that?
WATTS: That's true.
BLOCK: Yeah?
WATTS: Yeah.
BLOCK: Why is that?
WATTS: I've always followed Keith on stage, I'm talking about. I always looked to him for the time. He usually starts the intros. And very much when we were in the early period of our existence, because, you know, monitors were kind of nonexistent, so I had to have his amplifier quite close to me, and they weren't very big amplifiers. So with an audience shouting, I needed that to know where the changes came, everything because you could very rarely hear Mick.
(SOUNDBITE OF "SATISFACTION")
JAGGER: (Singing) When I'm riding around the world and I'm doing this and I'm signing that, and I'm trying to make some girl who tells me, baby, better come back maybe next week, 'cause you see I'm on a losing streak. I can't get no, oh, no, no, no. Uh, hey, hey, hey.
BLOCK: This is a great song to talk about backbeat.
WATTS: I don't know if "Pretty Woman" was before this and there's another one that Stevie Wonder did that had that sort of beat in it. It came about the same time maybe. You know, a lot of pop songs, as you call them, you know. They're based around a rhythm that's become fashionable, you know, disco, something.
And that one was a fashionable one at that time.
BLOCK: Now, at that moment, the studio door in New York popped open and Mick Jagger stuck his head in with an answer for Charlie Watts.
JAGGER: "Up Tight" was its name.
WATTS: Well done, Mick. That's the one. It was "Up Tight" by Stevie Wonder. Okay. How did he hear that? Oh, I'm on the air.
BLOCK: He has an answer for everything, that man.
WATTS: Sorry. The backbeat is two and four, a new - hit it harder than the first beat and it's played on a snare drum. One, ka, one, ka.
(SOUNDBITE OF "SATISFACTION")
JAGGER: (Singing) Hey, hey, hey.
WATTS: It's the loudest of the four beats.
(SOUNDBITE OF "SATISFACTION")
JAGGER: (Singing) I can't get no satisfaction. I can't get no satisfaction. And I try...
BLOCK: When "Satisfaction" became such a monster hit, number one in the U.S. and the U.K., what was the effect on the band? How did that change things for you?
WATTS: You know, it's great to have the whole world dancing to your own song and the rhythms. Fantastic to hear on the radio. You know, I never play our records, but I love hearing them, you know, go on the car radio or something. It's very, I don't know, it does wonders for the ego, doesn't it?
BLOCK: I wouldn't know, but I guess it would.
WATTS: Well, it is the highest sort of accolade you can have, really.
(SOUNDBITE OF "SATISFACTION")
JAGGER: (Singing) Hey, hey, hey.
BLOCK: Well, Charlie Watts, it's great to talk to you. Thank you.
WATTS: Thank you. Thank you.
(SOUNDBITE OF "SATISFACTION")
JAGGER: (Singing) I can't get no satisfaction. I can't get no satisfaction.
BLOCK: Rolling Stone Charlie Watts, who is also a great jazz drummer, his first love. Tomorrow on the program, guitarist Ron Wood with his choice. He's sticking up for a song that he thinks gets unfairly overlooked.
RON WOOD: It's really up and it gets everyone dancing, just like it says in the title.
BLOCK: You're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

Freedom of Information Bill — Exception from duty to comply with decision notice or enforcement notice — 5 Apr 2000
Mr John McDonnell MP, Hayes and Harlington voted in the minority (No).
The Majority voted to accept for discussion a new clause relating to disclosures[1] which said:
A decision notice or enforcement notice which relates to a failure to comply with section 13 in relation to any one or more requests for information shall cease to have effect if... the accountable person in relation to that authority gives the Commissioner a certificate signed by him stating that he has on reasonable grounds formed the opinion that the authority did not fail to comply with section 13 in relation to that request or those requests.[2]
In other words, an enforcement notices by the Information Commissioner could be summarily revoked by the public body against whom it was served.
- [1] Clause 13 of Freedom of Information Bill, February 2000, House of Commons.

Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill — Human-animal hybrid licenses — 19 May 2008 at 18:30
Rosie Cooper MP, West Lancashire voted in the minority (Aye).
The majority of MPs voted to make it possible to grant licenses for the creation of human-animal hybrid embryos.
The clause under discussion would insert the words:[2]
- No person shall
- mix human gametes with animal gametes,
- bring about the creation of a human admixed embryo, or
- keep or use a human admixed embryo,
- except in pursuance of a licence.
into the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990.[3]
The vote in Parliament was to over deleting the phrase, "except in pursuance of a license".

stoked on a new Shinobu record.
seconded
You would.
you know me too well
Some would say...intimately.
Yes, and then those some would turn their showers on so not to be heard thinking about it.
Try as they might, those some will still think its beautiful.
I'd love being stoked on this, but the fact that I don't really have a computer or a functioning mp3 player puts me down a bit. A sad, sad story. However - me of 2007 would have been jumping around like a crazed bunny, especially before the anticlimax that was Get Warmer. Haven't given new BTMI a chance since then, really.
Who are you, fucking Tron? What do you mean you don't have a computer.
It got old and died a peaceful death. Somehow I managed to break the CPU or something. Nowadays I travel between different peoples computer screens, trying to find something to hold on to.
Don't worry. You can purchase the new Bomb record in physical format and justify us putting out in a physical format. YOU CAN DO IT! IT COMES WITH A ZINE. REMEMBER ZINES WHEN THEY WEREN'T ON COMPUTERS????????
Craig doo-dooed in the swimming pool. We were swimming when we were little. I was swimming, and I thought it was a chocolate PayDay.
Did Neon Creeps not come out yet? I've had it for a while. Such an awesome fucking album. And they picked the best song on it, too.
it's not out til February I think? hopefully they have the correct tracklisting this time, gotta love the ghost copies though
Either way, stoked for the vinyl.
Donation Based?
SELLOUTS!
I bet they need to pay for stuff like rent and food. What jerkasses!
Maybe they should make radio records.
This is why we're brothers.
Hows every little thing brother?
Still getting into trouble.
Breaking young girls hearts?
I see what you did there
another thing that actually OFFENDS me, which is hard to to these days, are the people who are pissed that musicians make money. the strange, slow, old people on punknews.org and the few annoying stragglers on this website.
awesome, I forgot to get the laura stevenson and we versus the shark albums
Cheap Girls, O Pioneers!!! and Shinobu... "for the win".
I've got a kind of funny story about BTMI:
A few months ago I was in the Incheon (Seoul) airport and saw a Korean guy wearing one of those homemade, spray painted BTMI shirts. I figured that anyone who was familiar with the band spoke English, so I excitedly went up to him and tried to start up a conversation. Turns out he didn't speak any English, and was kind of freaked out that a random person walked up to him and started speaking a foreign language while excitedly pointing at his shirt...ok, that was actually my whole story, and it wasn't very funny. Maybe that's why I forgot about it until now. In retrospect, I should have figured he didn't speak English, because otherwise he would have known better than to wear clothing with the word "Bomb" on it in an airport. The point is, there may or may not be a small BTMI fanbase in Korea. But probably not.
Mike Park?
I laughed.
The only BTMI record I ever got was Get Warmer, and it was lame. Are the others good?
"To Leave or Die" and "Goodbye Cool World" are also great. As for "Album Minus Band," I tend to only listen to the last three songs. Can't wait for the new record.
To Leave Or Die In Long Island is their best. Their split with O Pioneers was also very good.
That new BTMI jam is very, um... accessible. poppy, even.
Not saying thats a bad thing though.
recently heard the rough unmastered version of the let me crazy record, seriously everyne, get fucking stoked
I hope Scrambles is better than the 5 or 6 demos I have from it.
don't get your hopes up.
wow...more stoked for the btmi! record now than i was before...fuck yes.

ACADEMICS
How many courses will I take?
The average course load for a first-semester freshman is 14 to 17 credit hours, or about five classes. You and your advisor will develop a schedule that is right for you based on the courses and majors you would like to explore, so you may carry more or fewer classes. In order to move up the classification chain (freshman to sophomore, etc.), however, you will usually need to average 30 credits per year (or 15 credits per semester).
When should I buy my books?
Both Purdue University and our local bookstores list books needed for each class, so it is easy to buy your books ahead of time. You have a better chance of getting used books if you buy them early. If you change classes or have books you don’t need, bookstores will give a full refund within the first or second weeks of classes - IF you have the receipt and have not broken the plastic wrap on textbook or software packages.
We recommend, however, that you wait to buy books for ENGL 10600 or 10800 until after the first class meeting. Book titles and quantities are determined by the section instructors and may not be posted at the bookstores.
The EDPS 10500 “Academic & Career Planning” class that all USP freshmen and transfer students take during their first semester requires a ‘course packet’ of materials which must be purchased at the BoilerCopyMaker store located in the Purdue Memorial Union (PMU), room 157. It is not available at the bookstores.
To find book requirements online, go to. Prices for new and used books can be found at the Follett’s () or the University Bookstore () sites. After using this website, students could also order books from,, or.
Will I need a personal computer?
Computers are fast becoming a necessity of college life, but they are not required at Purdue and we do not recommend a specific brand or type. This is mostly because our ITaP’s Teaching and Learning Technologies supports and maintains over 50 instructional computing labs on campus. The computers in these labs provide an extensive software suite and a secure work environment.
If you are in the market for a computer or laptop, check out the ITaP store in Stewart Center (STEW), room G-65, or online at. Your residence hall manager can give you information about hooking up and securing your computer in the residence hall.
Software is also available at a discounted education rate through ITaP at. Students will need to use their Purdue Career Username and Password to view and order software. It is recommended that students wait until after the first day of class to purchase software, as there are no returns allowed if a mistake is made. Software can be picked up at the Boiler Copy Maker Copy Center, located in Purdue Memorial Union (PMU), room 157.
Purdue also supports a wireless network called Purdue Air Link (PAL), with hot spots in most residence halls (in common areas, but not the individual student rooms) and major academic buildings. Set up information, videos, and a building coverage list are located at.
Although laptops are wonderful, their portability makes them easy targets for thieves. If you do bring a laptop to campus, make sure to turn on the password protection, buy a lock (like a Kensington lock), and register it online with the Purdue Police Department.
When will I find out where my classes are?
If you registered for courses during your STAR date, your schedule, including the days, times, and locations of the classes, will be visible immediately on myPurdue. A grid view of your classes is available under the “Week at a Glance” link. A text version of your schedule is available under the “Concise Schedule” link. At that point, we recommend that you use a Campus Map to plan out your daily routes. Time between most classes is about 10 minutes. Knowing where you are going before classes begin and “walking” your class schedule can save stress and frustration later.
How much time should I spend studying?
A general guideline is about two hours of study for each hour you spend in class. You’ll spend more time for some classes, especially those with laboratories, and less for others. Consistency is the name of the game in college – studying steadily over the semester rather than cramming right before tests yields better grades and better retention of material.
Where can I study on campus if I don’t want to study in my room?
All Purdue Libraries have quiet spaces for studying. Some libraries, like the Hicks Undergraduate Library (HIKS), feature café areas, like UnderGrounds, to study and eat. All residence halls have study rooms. Students can also study in the lounge areas of the Purdue Memorial Union and Stewart Center. Some academic departments also have study lounges. On nice days, there is plenty of outdoor green space where you can study, too.
Which library can I use?
Any of our 14 libraries are available for your use, though popular locations for first-year students tends to be the Hicks Undergraduate Library (HIKS) or the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Education (HSSE) Library, both located in the Stewart Center (STEW). All of the libraries have information desk staff available to assist students. If you need help finding materials or a location to study, just ask.
Will my parents get or see my grades?
No. Grades will be available in myPurdue and will be accessible only by you (or anyone who has your user name and password). However, we strongly recommend that you keep the lines of communication open with your parents about your grades, as they can assist your progress and often are the ones paying for college.
What if I need help in a class?
There are many ways to get help in a class. We recommend that you first talk with your instructor about your current grades and what steps you should take to improve them. Professors and TA’s all have posted office hours, usually located in the course syllabus (a document explaining class policies passed out on the first day of classes). Some instructors hold periodic help sessions, so listen for these in class.
If you find you need more day-to-day assistance, consider enlisting a paid or free tutor. Lists of tutors are available through the departments or the Office of the Dean of Students. Our students also recommend doing your homework in one of our departmental help rooms (Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Biology, etc.). That way, if you need help with a homework problem, you can get it right away. Help rooms also tend to have copies of practice exams and other materials to help you learn the subject.
Besides departmental help rooms, Purdue has various academic help facilities such as the Writing Lab (Heavilon Hall, room 226), the Academic Success Center (Beering Hall, room 3268), and the Chemistry Resource Room (Wetherill Labs, room 117).
Group study is also popular at Purdue. There is no service on campus to match you up with students in your classes, so be friendly and start building your study network early in the semester. Also, make sure that you have an outside expert for consultation should a problem stump you all.
Part of being in college is learning to recognize when you need help and how to find it. Be persistent! If a certain type of help doesn’t help, seek out other types. If you don’t know where to start, ask your advisor!
What if I am unsure of my major?
Fortunately, you are in one of the best programs on campus for career exploration, USP! All USP students must take EDPS 10500, Academic and Career Planning, which will walk you through the career exploration process. If after taking this class, however, you are still unsure about your major, individual career counseling is available at the Center for Career Opportunities (Stewart Center, room 194), the Purdue Counseling & Guidance Center (Beering Hall, room 3202), and the Office of the Dean of Students Counseling Center (Schleman Hall, room 207). You can also always talk through major ideas with your USP advisor!
What do I need to do to change majors?
At Purdue, the process of changing majors is called CODO’ing (Changing Of Degree Objective). To CODO, first check with your advisor about the CODO process for your desired major. Most colleges and schools require a set of minimum grades, courses, and documents before a CODO can take place. At the very minimum, most colleges/schools will require that you attend a “CODO meeting,” which is an informational meeting about their program requirements.
After you have met all of the CODO requirements, you will need to file CODO paperwork. To do this:
Once the Registrar puts your new college/school information into myPurdue, you will officially and successfully have CODO’ed!
Do professors take attendance?
Individual professors have different policies. It is to your advantage to attend class even if the professor does not take attendance, because you are ultimately responsible for learning the material presented in class. Extended class absences due to serious illness, accident, or other situations beyond your control should be reported to your residence hall counselor, academic advisor, and to the Office of the Dean of Students (Schleman Hall, room 207). The Dean of Students can then send a note to your professors letting them know the situation.
What do I do if I need to change my schedule?
Students can add, drop, and modify the times of courses themselves using myPurdue. This can be done throughout the summer and through the end of the first week of classes. However, we recommend they consult with an advisor first to discuss the consequences of any changes.
After the first week of classes, students should pay attention to their Purdue e-mail for notices from their advisors, as the rules to modify courses changes depending on which week it is in the semester. It is also strongly recommended that students print out (or at least bookmark) the Schedule Revision calendar.
Will I get the same grades I did in high school?
While some classes may be as easy as those you had in high school, most will be more difficult, faster- paced, and require more studying, reading, and problem-solving. Students may experience a slight drop in grades the first semester while adjusting to a new, more independent learning and living style. Good study habits and a proactive attitude toward learning can help prevent grade slumps.
What will the weather be like?
The old saying goes that if you don’t like the weather in Indiana, just wait a few minutes. Late summer weather is often hot, humid, and stormy with daytime temperatures of 80°F - 90°F or above. Early fall weather varies between hot and humid and cold and rainy. Students can count on rain, snow, ice, and cold in the winter, starting in mid-November and lasting until mid-March. Winter daytime temperatures average around 30°F, but can dip to sub-zero levels mid-winter. Spring weather can be nice, with highs between 50°F -80°F, but it is often rainy. Students usually bring a jacket, umbrella, and rain boots in August, and then bring their snow boots and winter coats back with them after October or Thanksgiving Break. Layering your clothing works best in Indiana weather.
Purdue has an abundance of plant life, including flowers, grasses, trees, ferns, and mushrooms. Students should consider stocking up on necessary medications in late fall and early spring to contend with pollen or mold allergies.
Our area does experience occasional severe weather, mainly in the form of thunderstorms, high winds, hail, flooding, and very rarely, tornados. Tippecanoe County and Purdue have excellent procedures in place to keep students and the surrounding community informed and safe.
Should I bring my bike?
Biking is a popular form of transportation around Purdue’s campus, but you might want to keep several things in mind. First of all, only outside storage is available (bikes cannot be stored in dorm rooms). Secondly, bike thefts do happen (about 100/year), so bring a sturdy lock. As added security, engrave identification onto your bike. You should also register your bike with the Purdue Police.
Should I bring my car?
Freshmen are not allowed to have cars unless they are living 30 minutes or more from campus, making them eligible for a commuter (“C”) parking permit. Parking space on or near campus is limited. Most campus parking is reserved for staff with permits, for visitors, or for upper classmen in the residence halls. Most off-campus street parking has time limitations set by the city.
Students usually get around campus by walking, bicycling, or by riding the CityBus (free with your Purdue ID). Shopping areas, bookstores, and restaurants are within walking distance of campus. Taxi service is also available. If you need a car permit for a special circumstance and live in a residence hall, you should talk with your hall manager. If you live off-campus, contact the Visitor Information Center (VIC) on Northwestern Avenue at (765) 494-INFO (4636).
Should I insure my stereo and computer if I bring them?
It is a good idea to insure any valuable personal items you bring. Check your family’s insurance policy as your belongings may already be covered. Keep your room locked when you leave it to prevent theft and make sure that you roommate locks it, too.
What is Fraternity Rush? Sorority Rush?
Fraternities and sororities usually have a callout early in the fall for all prospective members. Recruitment (sometimes called “rush”) is explained at the callout, with most recruitment events following immediately afterwards. Students usually do not move into the house until the fall of their sophomore year. About 20 percent of Purdue undergraduates are in Greek organizations. Information about fraternities and sororities is available at. Greek recruitment can be a great social and networking experience, but students need to keep in mind that it may take up a lot of their time if they let it. Balance is the key to success in both academics and Greek participation.
What is Co-op Housing?
Cooperative Housing life is much like Greek life, requiring recruitment and offering great social networking experiences. Recruitment occurs in January, but members are inducted year-round, depending on space. Contact the Student Activities and Organizations Office (Schleman Hall, room 250) for more information at (765) 494-1231 or [email protected]. Information about cooperative housing is also available at.
What if I don’t get along with my roommate?
The best thing to do is to prevent roommate problems before they begin and to keep the lines of communication open throughout the “getting to know you” process. Early in the fall, establish ground rules that both you and your roommate can agree upon. Some roommates even draw up written and signed contracts! If problems do arise, talk to your floor’s resident assistant (RA) immediately. If no solutions can be found, keep in mind that changing rooms is difficult early in the semester, but is often possible between semesters.
What is October Break?
October Break is a mid-semester break in classes (usually the second Monday and Tuesday in October) to give students time to catch up with (or unwind from) studies.
What is the policy concerning alcohol?
The legal age in Indiana for alcohol consumption or possession is 21. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed in University facilities, with certain exceptions, and violation will result in disciplinary action.
How can I meet people?
Talk with people who sit near you in class. Participate in activities at the Recreational Sports Center (RSC) or join an intramural team. Join a musical organization. Contact your campus religious organization. Your residence hall counselor can tell you about programs and activities in your hall and on campus. Check out all of the wonderful activities and organizations Purdue has to offer at the Get Involved at Purdue web site:. Flyers for call-outs are posted on the flyer board on the front page.
What types of clubs does Purdue have?
Purdue’s large size equals huge diversity in activities, clubs, and organizations – about 880 in all. Organizations usually revolve around an activity (like ballroom dancing), a major (like the Pre-Vet Club). Groups focusing on culture and religion abound, too. Furthermore, if we don’t have a club for your favorite activity, you, a friend, and a faculty advisor can start your own! Many clubs hold call-outs or informational meetings early in the fall. These are announced in your Mortar Board, the Exponent, on the Get Involved at Purdue online flyer board, on posters around campus, and on table notices in the residence hall dining rooms.
How can I become involved in student government?
Purdue Student Government (PSG) welcomes new student involvement. Visit their offices in Stewart Center (STEW), Room G-6 or contact them via their web site at. PSG frequently runs announcements in the Exponent about opportunities for involvement. You could also serve in student government within the residence hall or your college or school.
What do students do on the weekend?
We definitely encourage students to stay on-campus for most weekends in their first semester to help them feel more established at Purdue. A variety of plays, intercollegiate athletics, lectures, concerts, intramural contests, and other University-sponsored events are always available. Clubs, organizations, and residence halls also arrange weekend activities. Students can visit many parks, museums, and other attractions locally. Indianapolis and Chicago are within 2 hours driving distance, as well. Purdue’s 39,000-plus students even budget some weekend time for studying!
What religious activities are offered at Purdue?
Student religious foundations and organizations, in cooperation with the churches and synagogues of the Greater Lafayette area, offer creative and varied spiritual ministry and welcome your participation. Consult the Get Involved at Purdue site for specific information and watch the Exponent for activity notices. There is also a listing of religious organizations in the front of the Purdue University Telephone Directory.
How can I become involved in recreational sports?
Sign up for your housing unit’s athletic program. Off-campus students also have teams. You can sign up at the Recreational Sports Center, which coordinates a large intramural program. Non-competitive and individual activities also are available at the RSC. Group exercise classes abound. Visit their website at. If you are interested in varsity sports, contact the appropriate coach at Mackey Arena.
How can I purchase athletic tickets?
Information about purchasing football tickets will be mailed to you during the summer and about basketball tickets early in the fall. There is a charge for student tickets for all athletic events. If you have questions, or if your parents want to purchase tickets, contact the Athletic Ticket Office at (765) 494-3194 or toll free at (800) 497-7678. You can also visit their website at.
The VIP “All Sport” Card, which gives card holders access to all regular-season home games in all sports, is available in limited quantity at various points throughout the semester, and sells out fast!
How can I buy Purdue Musical Organizations (PMO) Christmas Show tickets?
The ticket form for the PMO Christmas Show will be available on August 1, 2010. Tickets can be purchased starting in mid-October through Ticketmaster, by visiting the box offices within Elliott Hall, Pao Hall, or Stewart Center, or by calling the Purdue Box Office at (765) 494-3933 or (800) 914-SHOW. Student deals are also available after Thanksgiving. Click on the FAQ link for more information:.
Is public transportation available?
Along with privately-run taxi services, Lafayette is served by CityBus of Greater Lafayette, which offers free bus service to Purdue students, staff, and faculty with a valid Purdue ID. The Campus Loops run a regular, convenient route around campus both day and night. City routes visit popular Lafayette and West Lafayette sites, including shopping centers, apartment complexes, and parks. For more information, call CityBus at (765) 742-RIDE or visit.
How do I get home if I don’t have a car?
Greater Lafayette is serviced by Amtrak, Greyhound, and private bus services to the Indianapolis and Chicago O’Hare airport, as well as rental cars. In 2009, Purdue began a free web service called Boiler Ride, which facilitates the arrangement of carpools to and from class and rides home:.
The amount of money that you will need will vary, depending on your activities, where you live, and whether you will hold a job during the school year. We recommend that students and parents sit down during the summer and draw up a budget. Some suggested budget items include: textbooks, special items needed for classes, food, movies, clothes, laundry, grocery items, room decoration, concerts, and transportation home.
In terms of the *big* bill (your tuition, fees, and housing), check for this on myPurdue under the “Financial” tab. All information will be available through the Bursar’s e-Bill service. Students will need to indicate their parents as an “Authorized User” through the e-Bill service in order for the parent to be sent an e-mailed copy of the tuition bill.
When possible, your financial aid award will be credited against your Purdue bills. If aid funds remain after your account is paid, the bursar’s office will issue a check. You should plan to pay your initial expenses (books, off-campus rent, etc.) from other resources and be reimbursed when your aid check becomes available. If you have questions, call the Division of Financial Aid at (765) 494-5050 or by
e-mail at. Their office is in Schleman Hall (SCHL), room 305.
Many students find checking accounts (and the debit cards) convenient. Local merchants usually will accept your check from an out-of-town bank or credit union if you have a Purdue ID card. There is a PEFCU (Purdue Employees Federal Credit Union) located in the Purdue Memorial Union (PMU), room 163. In addition, several automatic teller machines are located in the Purdue Memorial Union and in the residence halls. The Union has a check cashing service located at the Cashier’s Office on the first floor. This office will cash checks for a maximum of $50 per day for a $1 transaction fee with a Purdue ID card.
The residence halls employ many students. Ask for an application at your hall’s main office. Check the ads in the Exponent and the Lafayette Journal and Courier. Watch the bulletin boards in your academic area or an area in which you’d like to work. Often departments have jobs posted in their offices. Both Work-Study and non-Work-Study student job postings are available through the Division of Financial Aid’s Student Employment Service:.
The Office of the Dean of Students, in Schleman Hall (SCHL), room 207 offers small loans for 30 days with no interest. Contact (765) 494-1747 or visit their web site for more information.
What if I need medical attention?
The Purdue University Student Health Center (PUSH) is a fully-accredited, primary-care outpatient facility. Services are available by appointment or walk-in. The center offers a variety of services including medical, urgent care, diagnostic X-ray and laboratory, physical therapy, counseling and psychological services, and alcohol and other drug counseling. Most services are covered by your University fees. Others, such as laboratory tests, X-rays, and physical therapy, are provided on a fee-for-service basis. The University recommends that every student be covered by health insurance, either through their parents or by purchasing Purdue-sponsored insurance.
The Purdue University Student Health Center (PUSH) offers many services, including an Allergy & Immunization Clinic. Contact PUSH at (765) 494-6504 as soon as possible to work out the details for this or any other routine services you need.
You might ask another student in the class for notes and assignments, but you need to contact the professor if you will miss a test. If you miss a class for an extended period, contact your residence hall counselor so your instructor can be notified. For extended absences (more than five days), contact the Office of the Dean of Students at (765) 494-1747.
The Safe Walk Program is a service of the Purdue Student Security Patrol (PSSP), which provides an escort to and from university residences, the academic campus and the Chauncey Village area. The PSSP is staffed by students who are selected and trained by the Purdue Police Department. This free service is provided all year, 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. Contact the Safe Walk Program at (765) 494-SAFE (7233).

Andy Chambers uploads the final video segment from his winter trip to Cape Town.
We recently posted an article about Bubble’s swanky new website, well to follow it up, here’s news of his final video installment from his winter training trip in Cape Town. Loaded with all sorts of wavesailing action, it will certainly get you motivated to go for a sail, even if it’s not on turquoise water and under blue skies where you are.
Bubble commented:
“Video from the last part of my trip in Cape Town. We did lots of trips away but not a lot of freestyle! Just tried to concentrate on my wave sailing for the last part of the trip. Not many camera angles because all the waterproof cameras got stolen!”
Go check it out HERE.

POTENTIALS ...
POTENTIALS OF FRACKING
JOE NOCERA | NYT NEWS SERVICE Defence US shale gas resource has enormous potential to provide economic and environmental benefits for the country.” One thing I’ve always liked about the Environmental Defence Fund is its hardheaded approach.
Founded by scientists, it believes in data, not hysteria. It promotes market incentives to change behaviour and isn’t afraid to work with industry. Utterly nonpartisan, it is oriented towards practical policy solutions.
And that has been its approach to fracking. When I spoke to him recently, Krupp didn’t back away from the idea that domestic natural gas could be the “bridge fuel” that helps bring us towards a renewable energy future. Unlike others in the environmental movement, he and his colleagues at the Environmental Defence.
Though it eventually disintegrates, for several decades methane can add significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Defence Fund is participating in a study that is expected to provide one.
Question No. 2: How big a difference will it make to the environment if industry can minimise US greenhouse gases by – are you sitting down for this? – 9 percent. If the leaks are reduced to 1 percent, the decrease in greenhouse gases jumps to 14 percent. (That number eventually gets smaller as the potency of the methane wears off.) employing technology to minimise leaks and taking other steps to drill for natural gas in a responsible fashion. Nor is there much doubt that the outcry by environmentalists over fracking helped awaken the industry to the problems. DC, a state-by-state approach will be more effective,” he said. “We need to focus on getting the rules right, and complied with, in the 14 states which have 85 percent of the onshore gas reserves.” Here’s hoping that the antifrackers someday join him.

More than 100 scientists from 14 countries attended the ‘Translational Systems Biology and Bioinformatics Symposium’ that was held on June 25 at the Qatar National Convention Center (pictured). Four international and seven local speakers delivered scientific presentations that addressed different aspects of computational biology, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics at the symposium co-sponsored by Qatar Biomedical Research Institute (QBRI) and Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI), both members of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development.
According to top scientists at the symposium, conducting advanced biomedical research on genes, stem cells, proteins, and other chemicals in the human body requires two things that will present major challenges to scientists in Qatar. First, researchers need a wide range of tissue samples from the local population for experimentation. Second, they need powerful, high-throughput computers for analysis and storage of data derived from the tissue samples.
“Collaboration is the key to building a successful translational systems biology research platform in Qatar,” said Dr. Abdelali Haoudi, Vice President of Research and Acting Executive Director of QBRI. “No single university, research institute, hospital, or laboratory by itself can gather the samples, perform the experiments, and analyze the data needed to conduct advanced systems biology research in Qatar. We need to build a consortium that includes all the stakeholders involved in biomedical research—from the doctors and nurses who collect tissue samples to the research laboratories that ‘decipher’ the biological information in those samples.”
Dr. Ahmed Elmagarmid, Executive Director of QCRI, agrees. “Qatar can be a leader in computational medicine if everyone works together,” he said. “Today, tissue samples are analyzed by equipment such as a mass spectrometer, and the digital output is looked at and experimented on using computers. A relatively small number of scientists can perform world-class biomedical research, but it takes a network of clinicians, technicians, statisticians, bioinformaticians and scientists working together to create the biomedical database in the first place.”
Local entities that might participate in a systems biology consortium, such as Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar, Texas A&M – Qatar, Qatar University, Hamad Medical Corporation, Anti Doping Lab Qatar, Shafallah Medical Genetics Center and Sidra Medical and Research Center, all were represented in the symposium.
International participants such as Dr. Eric Lander of Broad institute of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard, Dr. Jeremy K. Nicholson of Imperial College London, Dr. David Gifford of MIT, Dr. Prasanna Kolatkar of the Genome Institute of Singapore, and Dr. Amos Bairoch of Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics all expressed enthusiasm for the kinds of research that could be performed in Qatar, looking at the native Qatari population as well as patients in the Arab world in general.
“Most of the genomic research has focused on European and African populations,” said Dr. Eric Lander, one of the keynote speakers at the symposium. “By looking at the genes of Qatari and Arab populations, Qatar can play a huge role in advancing the knowledge in the field of genetics and potentially can develop therapies and drugs that benefit not only the region, but the whole world.”

Bitter cold, then mildly chilly. Freezing rain and sleet, then just plain old rain. Geeze, Mother Nature! Make up your mind! The slippery, soggy Sunday left the Quad-Cities with up to 0.52 inch of a freezing rain/sleet/rain mix, as measured at the Quad City International Airport, National Weather Service meteorologist Dan Ferry said. The Quad-Cities woke up today to some fog, drizzle and mild temperatures climbing to the upper 40s by the afternoon, Mr. Ferry said. Some rain and thunderstorms are possible tonight, he said, dragging with it more fog and high temperatures nearing 50 degrees. More rain and thunderstorms are expected again on Tuesday, Mr. Ferry said, with high temperatures in the low 50s. But Tuesday night's rain "will probably be changing to snow" later on, Mr. Ferry said, with low temperatures in the mid-20s. We'll have a slight chance of snow Wednesday, too, with highs about 30 degrees before a return to a "deep freeze" with high temperatures in the teens on Thursday and lows close to zero, Mr. Ferry said. "We're running the gamut here," he said.

A boathouse (or boat house) is a building especially designed for the storage of boats, normally smaller craft for sports or leisure use. These are typically located.
In Scandinavia, the boathouse is known as a naust, a word deriving from Old Norse naverstað. These were typically built with stone walls and timber roofs and would be either open to the sea or provided with sturdy doors. The floors would be a simple continuation of the beach sand or rock, or they might be dug down to permit a boat to sail into the boathouse.

It'd be cool if you could score a point by killing an opponent with an environmental hazard, like the crush trap on Tourney6 (can't remember the QL name, but Xaero's map), knocking someone into an abyss or lava, or that grenade room in the CTF map.
It takes skill and perfect timing to kill someone like this, even though you're not scoring by shooting them directly.

Review Essay: The Reality of Instruction Between Educational Pessimism and Didactical Optimism
Abstract
In his book "Educational Pessimism" the sociologist J. TWARDELLA analyses a single German lesson in grade 10 of a Hauptschule (secondary school) class of disadvantaged students. The lesson begins well—with "a beautiful morning," according to the transcript—but soon becomes disastrous. How could this happen? TWARDELLA's detailed analysis shows that the relationship between the teacher and the students as well as between the teacher and her profession is disturbed and contradicted. On the one hand, the instruction is characterized by a negative anthropology of the student, an educational pessimism. On the other hand, the teacher is optimistic and believes in action-oriented instruction as the solution to the problem. Ultimately, it becomes evident that this abysmal combination is like an irreversible ideology based on a self-fulfilling prophecy and at the end there is only the maintenance of the status quo—no matter how senseless it is. The book is set in the context of current debates on educational policy and practice.

I want to warn everyone that Bejeweled Blitz on facebook is pure crack. Every plan I've had this week has gone to hell because of Bejeweled Blitz. Hey, its a 1 minute game, whats 1 more? (times 100 and there goes the evening)
Yeah, I fell into that trap yesterday, there are plenty of Comments about it on the Facebook Games thread.
Add me as a friend! So we may compete for glory!! (Jon Danger Rowe)
Seriously. For the very few times I score over 100k, that means I have the awful games where I'm happy to break 10k. Still I'm getting to the point where 30k is an average game now, but I'm nowhere near the skill level of my wife (214k before the last reset).
I can't seem to break the 36000 barrier.
Just hit 95k. I think that's my personal best. Don't think I'm going to get luckier with cascades, 4 and 5 matches, and multipliers.
It took me two hours of straight play to get to 42,000.
I can't go back.
I can't.
Ok I need to stop... Your move Merritt!
Damn you Jon!
BTW my name is the same as here on Face book "Rob Merritt" if anyone wants to add me.
Now, I have been playing Tiny adventures, checking the page every 10 minutes. Awful habit for my line of work.
However, there is too much good talk about this.
If someone would add me "Tyler Jenkins", I will play a bit and then soundly trounce you.
I have work to do! Not playing facebook games, first I check in on Mousehunt and Tiny Adventures regularly, now I lowed up this game for just 1 minute, really, just a game. Like that works, who know putting such a short time limit would actually make me play this more.
I'll add you guys tonight. I could use some good competition.
Could you guys join the Quarter To Three FB Group, please? Searching for Rob, I found that I went to High School with a Rob Merritt, and we had 7 friends in common. It was an eerie moment, let me tell you.
Searching for Tyler Jenkins makes me rue the day that World of Warcraft ever starting getting its memes all over the place.
Hehe, lessee I am in a UAB network..does that help. EDIT: Oh yeah, I'll join that. Sorry. I cannot read. Attention span short. Back to Facebook.
Yeah, no one in WoW believes me when I say Jenkins in my last name as half of Moonrunners server has that as their last name.
85k, bitches!
Ok, I joined the facebook group. The corruption is complete.
I cannot break my score of 57800!!
GRRR!!
134k. I can't play any more today. My head is all fuzzy.
FWIW last night I told one of the Facebook program managers that PopCap is, when they are ready, going to be a force to reckoned with.
I'll join the Qt3 group. I'm Scott Lantz on facebook, feel free to send me an invite. I have a tendancy to produce a lot of Bejeweled Blitz feed messages and status updates because I work on the damn thing, so my apologies in advance. Though don't be too surprised if I pare my list of contacts back down to only real life friends at some point. Nothing personal...
Who knew that adding a one-minute timer and leaderboards would make Bejeweled relevant again?
PopCap, that's who. Curses.
I change my vote to this game sucks (= I suck at it).
I'm not a fan, but I never liked the timed modes of Bejeweled. Or anything.
Yes, how dare I express mild discontent.
I just got a high score over 100k but it disappeared after I invited friends to the game. BOO...

New facilities
The Société des traversiers du Québec inaugurated new facilities in both Rivière-du-Loup and Saint-Siméon this year. In Rivière-du-Loup, the new building containing the waiting area also has a new pedestrian walkway, which is 30 metres (100 feet) long and windowed on both sides. This means passengers can board the ferry directly and thus avoid being affected by inclement weather.
In Saint-Siméon, a modern hydraulic system has been installed on the vehicle ramp to facilitate adjustment of ramp height, depending on the tide. A pedestrian walkway is also going to be built in 2013.

One of the most contentious parts of putting together an appeal is choosing which photographs will be featured.
I've seen images rejected for a wide range of reasons – too sad, too happy, too paternalistic and even too stimulating.
Considering the impact that a photograph can have on income, I'm surprised that there is so little public data available on the testing of images. It's why I was pleased to see a piece entitled "Do sad faces make people give more?" on Jeff Brook's blog, Donor Power.
It refers to a paper recently published in The Journal of Marketing Research – The Face of Need: Facial Emotion Expression on Charity Advertisements (PDF) by Deborah Small and Nicole Verrochi.
As you might expect, they found that people are more likely to donate when viewing sad expressions.
More interestingly however, they have produced a graph demonstrating how average gift is influenced by the different types of faces donors were presented with.
Jeff makes a fair point when he describes their findings as obvious. He also reminds us that sometimes happy pictures can beat sad ones. But the most important issue he raises is what happens when there is a disconnect between the message in the copy and the message of the photograph...
"It very often goes like this.
Copy: 35,000 children died today from hunger.
Photo: Happy child.
These two messages basically cancel each other out."
I've been lucky enough to have undertaken some quite detailed photograph testing, and though I agree with Jeff's analysis i'd like to add a few points of my own.
To me, It's not so much whether a photograph is happy, sad or neutral that is important. What counts for me is the intensity of the emotion in the face – and that really means the eyes.
The eyes are so important that I would seriously question any creative work that fails to feature them – downturned faces, a head in the hands shot, the back of a head of a person looking into the distance are nothing more than cliches that we would do best to avoid.
I remember when I worked at ActionAid, that we tested different photographs against a common headline and found that a great photograph could double response rates to our child sponsorship recruitment ads.
We also found that individual focus was important. I recall one ad where a photograph of a girl standing alone was tested against a shot of the same girl holding her (very little) sister. A single child generated a far better response.
Mise-en-scene should also not be ignored. The important touches in a photograph such as a torn shirt or the way a child cradles a simple toy can have a significant effect on response.
And though it might be sad, the other factor that is important is attractiveness. At the YMCA when we first introduced the Roomsponsor programme, we could predict conversion based on what the resident actually looked like. This factor far outweighed any other in predicting success.

Canada and the United States have the strongest partnership in the world. This should not be taken for granted, but continually nurtured and maintained. Canada's strong economy, along with the United States, creates two strong nations which can be equal partners. Strong security at the border and continuing trade benefit both countries. It is also important to work together on international issues, such as disarming Iraq, poverty, and AIDS. Speech to the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, Chicago, Illinois, February 13, 2003.
**********
I want to reflect with you on shared challenges. On how in a dangerous time, we can advance values cherished by our societies and admired by so many in the rest of the world.
Specifically, I will address three themes underpinning the Canada-United States relationship: being strong at home; being strong in partnership; and being strong internationally.
In my view, the long term security of our democracies requires us to succeed on each of these fronts.
Strong at home
Let me begin with a few remarks on the Canadian economy. For, quite simply, it matters to your economy that ours does well: we consume 25% of your exports.
I am pleased to tell you that our economy is firing on all cylinders right now. We are strong at home. And a sound fiscal situation assures us of continued success.
Canada avoided recession in 2001. We led the G7 with growth of 3.3% in 2002. And the IMF and OECD predict that our GDP growth will again lead the G-7 in 2003.
Our economy created close to 560,000 jobs in 2002, the highest number of jobs ever created in a single year in Canada. In a country one tenth your size, this is no small achievement.
Inflation has been low and steady for 10 years. Interest rates are lower than they have been in 40 years. We are implementing the largest tax reduction in our history. And Canada's corporate and capital gains tax rates are now below American rates.
Canada has also enjoyed a dramatic fiscal turnaround: we have had five consecutive budget surpluses. We are predicting another budget surplus for this year and surpluses in the years after that. Canada …

Great UPS
By RayC
from Lodi, CA
About Me Quality Oriented
My old UPS got zapped by a power surge (thanks PG&E)). I went out as soon as I discovered that it was blown and picked this UPS.Nearly brainless set-up. I'm pretty tech savvy and this was a breeze. Even a rookie could get this up and running in no time.

DO NOT BUY THIS
By Samantha
from Los Angeles, CA
SKIP THIS and buy another model. I use it to keep my drives spinning in a recording studio. It died after only a year, shrieking constantly even after it was unplugged. The replacement battery is IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. i seem to have ordered one from a sketchy retailer (Staples and APC DO NOT HAVE THEM) but we'll see if it shows up. Buy a RECENT MODEL for which replacement batteries exist. this heavy piece of junk is a [$] thorn in my side and i lost data after it died too.

Great product; exceptional quality

About Me Heavy Duty User
I am somewhat of a heavy-duty user, since I run game servers on dedicated virtual machines.That being said, this product is perfect for what I need. My entire computer system can be powered with this for 40 minutes, giving me more than enough time to shutdown the servers gracefully.The product is great, and the software that comes with it is pretty cool. It shows the CO2 usage, KWh usage, and many more helpful bits of information such as the cost of operating my system.

Wite Out
By Rx Guy
from Jackson, NJ
About Me Budget Shopper
I have used Wite-Out for many years and am getting used to the sponge applicator after using the brush for most of my life. While I still prefer the brush versus the sponge, they both did and do the job which is what it is all about. I don't print as much as I had in the past thus I don't need much and will wait for Staples to run their incredible sales like they usually do and then stock up on it. Have several kids in college also necessitates having an ample supply around as you never know when it will be needed.

Finally got this quilt quilted. This has been quite a project. A friend did the blocks and I joined them and quilted it. This was made from the customers parents clothes.
That is awesome Jeanine!!!
Love it! Great job!!!!
Wow, Jeanine. Fabulous job. Ginny
Jeanine,
I am always in aw of how you can come up with ideas on what to quilt in all the spaces. Your customer certainly put a lot of effort into the clothes quilt. It's a great keepsake and your quilting was icing on the cake!
It took two days to square up the backing, pin to leaders and load but I did it. Being sick is no fun. But it is loaded and ready to quilt and I am hoping to have energy to wind my bobbins and start quilting a row or two tonight. This quilt is 118" square so it will take a few days at the rate I'm moving to get it done. Slow progress is still progress, right?
They didn't leave me much extra on the backing so I am hoping I don't run into any issues with that! I'll just have to be careful.
That's a pretty neat looking quilt. Love the batiks! You'll do great with it I'm sure. With just the little bit on the edges I hope it's cut straight and there is enough when you get to the bottom. Batiks don't stretch much but I'll keep my fingers crossed right along with you.
Can't wait to see how you quilt it. Whatever you do it'll be great!
Finished the quilt. Mi love it when everything goes smoothly. I will get it trimmed and the binding on tomorrow.
Your quilts always look great Jeanine! Now imagine putting that machine into a 8x10' room thats my situation.

You have to get creative when you get a longarm! We took the only storage area we had and converted it to my longarm room. Now we have to get real creative with stuff we need to store. The poor garage is bursting at the seams now. But I have my priorities!
What a beautiful quilt. I love that quilt pattern you used. It looks fantastic, especially on the back. Great job!
Jeanine:Finally got this quilt quilted. This has been quite a project. A friend did the blocks and I joined them and quilted it. This was made from the customers parents clothes.

Where are everyone's quilts? I want to see what you are working on!
Here are my quilts this week.
Great looking quilts, Jeanine. I like the way you have the quilting to reflect the style of the quilt. Ginny
I'll try to post this again...
I am going to back away from this site and focus on a limited number of things in my life. I will still post on facebook so if you would like to LIKE my Threads of Faith (business page) or Quilts from the Bluffs (charity page), please do. (you can do a search in facebook on these names.) I don't think the links were accepted before.
Jeanine, I will miss your posts on here but I get it. I have not been on QCA much myself as I get pulled in too many directions. I haven't quilted much lately as we are waiting for some repairs to be done to the basement (where my machine "lives") so I'm in limbo.
Your quilting skills are wonderful & I bet your customers are very happy :-) Your quilt ministry work is a wonderful thing and I wish you success and happiness at work, home & with your ministry. We'll miss you.

Less than one in five Victorian adults are regular smokers, and over half have never smoked, according to figures released today.
The data, from The Cancer Council Victoria, indicates an overall reduction in regular smoking prevalence for Victorian adults since 1998, decreasing to 18.5% in 2005.
Latest figures show smoking rates remain lowest amongst among Victorians over 50, where 11.5% are regular smokers, compared to 21.1% of Victorians aged 30-49 and 26% of Victorians aged between 18-29 years.
Professor Melanie Wakefield, from The Cancer Council Victoria, said there were several contributing factors to the continuing decrease in the number of Victorians smoking since 1998, when the proportion of Victorians smoking regularly was 21.7%
"In this time, Victoria experienced a rise in smokefree environments, including shopping centres, enclosed restaurants and cafés, and we have also been exposed to a raft of quit smoking advertising campaigns. Price increases also play an important role in a person's decision to quit smoking."
The data released also shows the proportion of heavy smokers (25 or more cigarettes per day) dropped over 10% to 16% in 2005. There was also a significant increase in the proportion of light smokers, with over half of the regular smokers in Victoria smoking less than 15 cigarettes per day.
Professor Wakefield said although it is encouraging to see fewer cigarettes smoked, it underlines the need to emphasis to smokers that there is no such thing as a safe level of tobacco consumption.
"The only way to stop and reverse the damage done by cigarettes is to quit smoking completely."
Executive Director of Quit Victoria, Mr Todd Harper said despite the gradual decline in smoking rates there was no room for complacency in tobacco control.
"Although data suggests that smoking prevalence is on a downward trend, we cannot afford to become cavalier about the devastating human toll of tobacco. Tobacco control must remain a major public health priority to ensure smoking rates continue to come down."
"Smoking-caused deaths in Victoria outstrip deaths caused by illicit drugs, alcohol, and road deaths combined, so every effort and investment to prevent Victorians from taking up this deadly habit should be made."
"Tobacco kills almost 4000 Victorians every year, and the fact is that most of these deaths will occur in people who started smoking before the age of 18 years."
Mr Harper said he expected tobacco marketing at point-of-sale and the use of cigarette packaging to be the new battlegrounds in tobacco control.
"With bans on both traditional and buzz marketing, the tobacco industry is becoming increasingly reliant on the point-of-sale retail area and cigarette packaging to market its product."
"Banning tobacco product displays at point-of-sale and moving to plain packaging on cigarettes is vital in reducing exposure to tobacco marketing."
According to Mr. Harper the introduction of new graphic pack warnings on cigarette packaging this year and the implementation of state-based tobacco reforms including smoking bans in pubs and clubs in July 2007 offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to get smoking rates lower than ever before in Victoria.
"The introduction of graphic health warnings earlier this year means that every time someone buys a pack of cigarettes they will be exposed explicitly to the harms of smoking, and then once again, each time they reach for a cigarette."
"We hope these important changes, combined with the graphic campaigns highlighting the dangers of smoking and providing smokers with encouragement to call the Quitline, will ease the burden of tobacco within the next five years," said Mr. Harper.

This article originally appeared in the National Times
Recently, I was waiting for a train at North Richmond, huddling out of the rain, when a tough-looking man came up just near me and lit up a cigarette. Within seconds, another man came over to bot one, which was duly handed over with a friendly smile. By way of thanks — but not entirely graciously — he started a conversation about how he usually smokes roll-your-owns.
The tough-looking man wasn't quite sure how to respond. "I guess it's cheaper . . ." he ventured.
"Cheaper and better for ya mate. Less chemicals than in these."
"Yeah! Tailors all have chemicals in 'em. Those too."
"Oh . . ."
The tough-looking man went quiet and puffed a bit harder. The other man was clearly pleased to have been able to share his knowledge, although he didn't seem overly worried about the chemicals he was inhaling as a result of botting a tailor-made.
Lots of smokers make the call that what they smoke is preferable to what other people smoke. For decades, smokers were enticed to switch to "light" or "mild" cigarettes, enabling them to console themselves that they were loosening nicotine's grip and taking in less "tar" at the same time (although, unfortunately, they were wrong on both counts). No brands are allowed to be labelled "light" or "mild" now, but they can still be labelled "smooth" and "fine" and many smokers continue to mistakenly trust the evidence of their senses and believe that these less harsh-tasting brands are less harmful. Other smokers use different reasoning to convince themselves that smoking roll-your-owns is the "safer" option — not unusual among smokers.
One of our ongoing problems in tobacco control is conveying the distinction between what is added to tobacco by cigarette companies and what happens when you cure and then burn tobacco. The reality is that the nasty chemicals that can be isolated from cigarette smoke overwhelmingly come from the combustion of tobacco, rather than from any non-tobacco ingredients. To give an example that will be familiar to readers: one of the toxic substances smokers inhale is acetone, a major ingredient of nail polish remover and paint stripper. Putting significant amounts of acetone into your lungs is certainly something to avoid. However, it's there in all tobacco smoke from the combustion of sugars. The tobacco industry do not add nail polish remover or paint stripper to factory made cigarettes.
The public health messages that draw attention to chemicals such as acetone being found in tobacco smoke have been crafted precisely to get smokers to think "yuk!" and push them further along the track towards quitting. However, as an unintended consequence of drawing attention to "chemicals" in cigarette smoke, some smokers have gone in search of cigarettes that don't contain "chemicals". It's not too hard to see how some smokers arrive at the decision that roll-your-own cigarettes are "better for you". The associations we habitually make between "hand-made" and "natural" with "goodness" are readily put to work in favour of concluding that smoking roll-your-owns is preferable to smoking factory-made cigarettes. You just have to avoid thinking too much about the possibility that your reasoning was entirely wrong.
To those who are prepared to be convinced I would offer the following basic facts about how roll-your-own and factory-made cigarettes are the same for practical purposes. Roll-your-own tobacco is cut in longer thinner strands than the tobacco in factory made cigarettes but otherwise it is overwhelmingly the same – the same tobacco varieties grown in the same soil, sprayed with the same pesticides and cured in the same barns.
Secondly, roll-your-own tobacco contains the same additives as are in factory-made cigarettes, although some of these are actually added at higher levels. They are usually innocuous sounding things such as sugar, honey, liquorice and cocoa but used for the not-so-innocuous purpose of making cigarettes more pleasant to smoke.
We know from smoke chemistry research that when you collect smoke from roll-your-own cigarettes and factory-made cigarettes you find the same range of carcinogens and other toxins at much the same concentrations. We also know from toxicological research that the urine of roll-your-own smokers and factory-made cigarette smokers contains the same break-down products of carcinogens and other toxins at much the same levels.
All the science is in on this. I know many smokers distrust the "official" science on smoking and health and some have a story to tell about how we let tobacco companies get away with adding all sorts of nasty chemicals to cigarettes, because we want cigarettes to be as dangerous as possible to make smokers quit. So, it is scientists and anti-smoking campaigners, rather than the tobacco industry, that are the bad guys in the story. However, it simply isn't true.
The tobacco industry should definitely be banned from using additives but the effect won't be to make cigarettes less harmful, it will be to make them harsher and less pleasant tasting. That could discourage people from starting to smoke and to make it a bit easier for those who are hooked already to finally quit. Which I hope everyone could eventually come to see would be a very good thing.
Bill King has researched smokers' beliefs and tobacco industry regulation for 10 years at the Cancer Council Victoria and is currently an honorary research associate.

“I didn't notice a dramatic difference. The difference is if his leg is bothering him, he can compensate with his arm. But if he's compensating with his arm, he's not going to last very long. He'll end up not only with a sore leg but a sore shoulder. And Roger is a classic leg-driving pitcher.”

“I felt like my leg was starting to tighten up. Maybe I'm compensating because of my injury. I was never in doubt I was going to finish that match.”

Having problems combating ad fatigue? No need to worry further! We just released our ad rotation feature to help you combat ad fatigue.
What is ad fatigue?
One of the most common problems in online marketing in general and in Facebook marketing in particular is ad fatigue. The phenomenon ad fatigue can cause huge decreases in CTR and consequently increases in bid prices.
Basically the ad fatigue phenomenon means that people who surfs the web and sees the same ads many times tend to get less receptive to the ads over time. For each time the user sees the ad the less effect the ad will have upon the potential clicker. This means that the ad gets “tired” and losses traction.
Many say that ad fatigue in Facebook advertising is especially problematic since Facebook will punish ads with low CTR harder than in many other online market places.
Our solution to you
With our ad rotation engine you can easily set up an automated rotation of all the ads you have in each campaign. You can set up how often you want to rotate the ads and how many of the ads you want to rotate each time. This means that you no longer need to pause and play ads manually to make sure you decrease the risk of ad fatigue. Let our tool do the work for you instead!
You will find the ad rotation feature in our campaign section (1). In order to activate the feature you need to select one campaign (2).
Once you selected a campaign the ad rotation button in the bottom pane is activated. Simply click on the button to set up the ad rotation for the selected campaign (3).
At Qwaya we are constantly generating solutions for you to automate and ease your manual work in your Facebook advertising. Our focus is to generate a tool that lets you focus on your business goals instead of wasting time on manual work. Ad rotation is definitely a great way to save you time and effort.

response, he accuses some political hacker of attempting to sit on his Facebook.
I first encountered Anthony Weiner in his 1991 campaign for City Council, and immediately renamed him “Tony the Hot Dog.”
His name meant hot dog; at around 6’ 2 and ninety pounds, he sure looked like a hot dog, and there was no doubt he thought he was a hot dog.
An ambitious young man with a name like Weiner has a number of choices. One is to embrace it with relish (perhaps not the best choice of words).
Weiner proudly stood tall and erect, fully engorged and ready to thrust deeply into public life.
This was a hot dog with real onions.
The truth is Anthony’s name problem has never been his surname, but rather what we generally refer to as a “Christian name,” because in Anthony’s case, it really was.
In Weiner’s first race for office, his opponents (except for Gerald Bisogno) spread the rumor that Weiner was half -Italian.
These days, the rumors are different.
I hope Anthony has a sense of Huma about this stuff.
For other politicians, a name can be an inconvenience.
Several decades ago, young Andrew Finkelstein, son of a publishing magnate. decided he was going to be the POTUS, and changed his last name it to the shorter, but still Semitic, Stein.
Admittedly, his options were limited. “Fink,” even if it were less Jewish (and it was not), presented some additional issues, especially among social club Italians, while if he used “El,” he might have been mistaken for Puerto Rican or Arab.
Perhaps he could have called himself Andy Ste.
At any rate, the young man set upon his father’s fortune and bought himself an Assembly seat, as well as a Senior Citizen’s Center, which he named for himself, the name change facilitating the need for a somewhat less expensive facade.
After that, his career skyrocketed, and Young Finkelstein served as Manhattan Beep and City Council President before his future ambitions foundered upon his reputation for slow wittedness and bad toupees.
Finkelstein retired from public life and was little heard from, except for an occasional Page Six note of his appalling taste in women (Anne Coulter!!!).
Then there was Warren William Wilhelm, who perhaps not enamored of the association his real name created with the late former Vice President (recently turned 100) who Jimmy Carter once referred to as Hubert Horatio Hornblower, decided it would be better to forsake a surname which might be accurately thought of as Germanic by New York’s German-hating Jews, and instead adopted one (once belonging to his mom) which might advantage him among New York’s Italian-loving Italians, and ended up as Bill De Blasio (if he were in Queens, he might have ended up as Wor Eng de la Blas).
And yet, the lesson sometimes get lost.
In white southern Brooklyn, they take a different tack.
Jewish candidates with not necessarily Jewish names often use a more ethnically suitable middle name like Michael “Jules” Garson (who once ran against Weiner for his Council seat), Herbert “Saul” Lupka (who once held the seat for about 15 minutes), and, at the beginning of his political career, Michael “Chaim” Nelson (who holds that seat now).
Eventually, Nelson solved his problem with a mailer in which it was explained that his ancestors were named Katznelson, and had obviously never thought of running for office in Sheepshead Bay.
The flyer featured an old European picture of an Ultra-Orthodox family of the sort found in most every Jewish household (except, apparently, the Katznelsons [Michael and his wife, the late Sheila “Feigie“ Nelson], who are said to have borrowed their photo from Bernie Catcher).
For years, the expert at ethnic pandering was then Councilwoman Carolyn Maloney (whose current Congressional district incorporates the original turf of the Young Finkelstein). Every campaign featured the mailing of a targeted piece which created the (false) impression that she was Jewish (it always included her maiden name, so she appeared as the subliminally suggestive “Carolyn Bosher Maloney”. Insiders referred to it as “the Carolyn Kosher Baloney piece”).
In that spirit, the Presbyterian Maloney would also (scandalously) take communion in Catholic churches, go all prep-school Episcopal WASPY on the Upper East Side, and sound like she was raised on a turnip farm when she spoke at a Harlem Baptist church.
Truth be told, I always found this name stuff overrated; Mayor Robert Wagner (a political rival of Finkelstein Sr. whose son's electoral career was ended by a loss to Finkelstein Jr.) was posessed of a name second only to Hitler in its evocation of Germanic anti-Semitism, yet he still managed in 1961 to cream both the fantastically popular Arthur Levitt (in the primary) and the fantastically popular Louis Lefkowitz (in the general) among their fellow Semites. True, in 1956, Wagner hemorrhaged normally Democratic Jewish votes to Jake Javits in a race for the US Senate, but that was in part because of Jewish fears that a Wagner victory would lead to Council President Abe "Hit Sign, Win Suit" Stark becoming the city's first Jewish Mayor (if one doesn't count, as Hitler would, LaGuardia).
But let my thoughts stray back, as they invariably do, to the topic of Weiner, so I can flex my tongue some more until my thoughts reach their climax, and not a moment prematurely.
“Oy, not only is the wife a Muslim, she works for Hillary Clinton yet; better he should get a pilegesh; is she Jewish, at least?”
Of course, there is a possibly of this being much ado about something very little (perhaps not the best choice of words).
Weiner says someone hacked his Facebook account, and from there got into his Twitter.
Been there, done that.
When my Facebook account was hacked, they also into my Hotmail. Between the two, everyone I knew got messages asking for money.
Domestic Partner immediately reached out to all her contacts: “If you received an email from Gatemouth asking for money to get back from England, please don't send him anything! We’d like to keep him there for as long as possible. Thanks!”On the other hand, Weiner seems to have been able to address his problems faster than it would seem possible.
While I was able to fix my Facebook account pretty quickly, I was locked out of my Hotmail, and it took days to convince them of my identity and let me back in. Still, I was not a member (perhaps not the best choice of words) of Congress.
A more tech savvy friend was more skeptical:
“ah, but that's a relatively simple explanation for a simple story. Weiner's story requires substantially more complexity.
When you upload a photo taken from your blackberry to Twitter, the photo gets automatically uploaded to this program called YFrog.
Whoever hacked Weiner's account must have used the same Facebook password for his YFrog and Twitter, uploaded a photo, sent that out via Twitter, and then have arrangements for the 20something girl to delete her normally active Twitter account after she publicly gets the dick pic message
apparently the girl is in Seattle and Weiner was in Seattle at the time, so the layers of maliciousness for this criminal hack must have been very elaborate in their planning for details
I mean, I just think if someone was going to concoct such an elaborate & illegal social media scheme/hack to embarrass a sitting Congressman, couldn't you find something more sensationalist than a clothed crotch? :) Or at least throw in a "here you go baby" line next to it or something to make it pack an extra punch!
It's just straight bizarre. A more normal explanation for Weiner's events would be something like a staff member mistakenly logging into the official account for a private message that was accidentally broadcast or something.”
Nonetheless, I find it hard to swallow (perhaps not the best choice of words).
If Weiner was going to send an enticing picture of himself, it goes without saying he would have used a more impressive angle. Perhaps he would have sent a picture of something much larger.
Like his ego.
And Weiner is certainly not without his enemies.
I don’t even suspect the Republicans, though they HATE HATE HATE him.
To me. a more likely perp is a potential mayoral rival like Warren Wilhelm.
Or perhaps the current Manhattan Borough President is worried that female voters might prefer the an impressive Weiner to a far less substantial Stringer.
All my instincts tell me that Weiner is the victim of a malicious prank.
Then I remember a story from Weiner’s career on the Council.
Weiner had just piloted a hearing on abuses in the high fashion modeling industry, allowing Weiner ample opportunity to indulge in ingesting some eye candy.
Weiner had gotten nothing but bad publicity in the papers, and was asked at a local clubhouse why he had done something so monumentally silly.
He answered “For the same reason a dog licks his balls. Because I can.”
UPDATE: Having now seen pictures of the young lady allegedly in question (which I've chosen not to link) I am now even more dubious that something was going on between them.
Of course, I would have said the same thing about Arnold.

A fixture of the city's cultural calendar since its debut in 2002, Qstock has drawn more and more visitors each year for its schedule of events and concerts. Hosted in the Kuusisaari area of Oulu, Qstock runs for two fun-filled days and nights each year.
Qstock collects a veritable who's-who of rock and metal bands from Finland and beyond for a schedule of performances across several stages on the island. Each evening of the festival culminates in a fireworks display for spectators, visable across the estuary.
All ages are welcome at Qstock, with those over 60 and under 10 admitted to the festival grounds free of charge (though some conditions apply).
Stay at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Oulu for the festival
Located just across the river from Qstock, the Radisson Blu Hotel, Oulu provides a great spot for accommodation in Oulu during the festival. The hotel is also in a perfect position to catch other concerts in Oulu, including the slightly heavier Jalometalli festival.
After a day full of star-studded concerts and great food and drink, retire to a comfortable hotel room in the Oulu city centre for a good night's rest.

Eurail Denmark-Germany Pass
Diverse and versatile. Two countries: One Pass!
The cultures (not to mention the size) of Denmark and Germany are very different, but Scandinavia is closer to Western Europe than most realize. So why not travel them both with one rail pass: the Eurail Denmark-Germany Pass.
The pass provides unlimited and flexible train travel on the entire national rail networks of Denmark and Germany. Seeing Germany by rail is not only fun and relaxing, it may very well be the best way to explore the country. That’s because the German rail system is highly efficient, and you can reach almost every city in Germany via train.
Here's what you get:
- Unlimited train travel on the national rail network in Denmark and Germany.
- Choice of 4, 5, 6, 8 or 10 days of unlimited train travel within a 2-month period.
- Travel days may be used consecutively or non-consecutively.
- Valid on KD Rhein Line daytime steamers between Koeln and Mainz<<

Harvest Moon (Series)
From Harvest Moon | Rune Factory Wiki

The ultimate challenge is for the player to manage their time. There is only a short amount of time in each game day, and the player only has a set amount of energy. They must balance their time and strength by working on the farm and making friends with the people in town.

Everything!Ooops!!!"Those"-now OK?
LET'S Make this Showy!
Our Mentee was watching Goakaiger us and identified with Capitan Marvelous so we started making a render of him.
I gotta be the one that says this, he looks kinda creepy from what you started on.
Let's make this Showy
This should be a fun little experiment
I'm going to start live stream my rendering and photoshop stuff
Every night starting at 9PM PSt, if i get enough people from these forums I'll even start working on pixels in real time and asking for input in the chat log.

Jersey Pocket Stuff with Chris Jones
There are just a few days to go with both the Rapha Facebook Jersey Pocket Stuff Competition as well as the USA Pro Cycling Challenge happening here in Colorado. How are these two things linked together you may be asking yourself? Well, good question, but they are. One submission of the Jersey Pocket Stuff comes from our Rapha Focus Pro Cyclocross racer Chris Jones. When he is not competing at the highest level of US Cyclocross Jones spends his time racing with the UnitedHealthCare Pro Cycling Team. He is currently sitting about half-way up on the GC for the race, but keep an eye out for Chris as it is well known that he is great when the road goes up. He sent through this Jersey Pocket Stuff a few weeks ago when he was training outside of Auburn, California. Take a look at everything that a true Professional carries with him and wish him luck in the final stages of the USA Pro Cycling Championships.
Chris Jones' Ride:
Endurance Capital of the World (Auburn, CA.) to Hangtown (Placerville) returning via Georgetown. 130km, 2500m of climbing and 93F.
Jersey: UnitedHealthcare team issue summer jersey
Contents:
2- Almond butter & honey sandwiches Short stack of pancakes (left over from bfast) with homemade apricot jam
Bag of sunflower seeds (it is baseball season and I need the sodium)
Clif kid Z Bar
Bag of screen to re-apply with mid-ride
Bag of drink mix Headphones to listen to SF Giants game
Rapha + Paul Smith wallet
HTC phone
----
While you are at it pick up a copy of the newest Velo Magazine (formerly Velonews.) They have included a few selects of Jake Stangel's amazing photography from our take on The Challenge in their course preview guide. Then, if you are excited (which you should be) about seeing Jake's photos live and in person head over to the Rapha Cycle Club in San Francisco to see the images as they hang on the wall of the gallery space from now until September 28th.

Ride to Redemption
This year, the Rapha Cycle Club San Francisco has put together seven straight days of riding to help you complete the Festive 500. Starting this Friday, December 23rd — barreling straight through Christmas Day and then butting right up with the New Year — there will be seven straight chances for you the people of the San Francisco Bay Area to complete the Festive 500. To help make this easier we have partnered some amazingly qualified local cyclists to help lead out each day. Strava themselves will start things off, the Rapha Cycle Club will make it through Christmas Day* (with a ride at noon on the 25th) Mill Valley's Studio Velo will make two appearances before the fine folks from Mission Cycling will wrap up the riding on the 29th. Whether you are doing one day or attempting to complete the whole 500k, make sure you grab one of the Control Cards and collect the stamps at the end of each day. For those of you unable to make the rides in San Francisco do not miss out on the fun. Head over to Strava to sign up for the Festive 500 Challenge and start logging the k's.
December 23 with - Strava - 08:00am departure
December 24 with the Rapha Cycle Club - 08:30 departure
December 25 with Derrick Lewis of Rapha - 12 noon departure
December 26th with the Rapha Cycle Club - 08:30 departure
December 27th with Studio Velo Women - 08:30 departure

Everyone on this board knows how big of a DeMar fan i am. But watching Ross play i think he has a chance to be really really good.
I mean, the guy is crazy athletic. He can shoot the ball, great 3pt shooter too. His ball skills is not bad for a rookie 2 guard. Obviously he needs to get bigger and stronger and improve his ball skills if he wants to be a great player.
I think it would depends on how much he wants it. It would depend on his work ethic. DeMar's work ethic from what i heard/read is crazy. Hardest working player on the team, first guy in the gym last one out, just a total gym rat. And he wants to be a great player.
If Ross can match that, i think he has a chance.

Well, most RAW meals with nuts can last from 3-4 days...up to about a week...(like Pate's...) What I did was, when I got home, I put most of what I brought in the Freezer and just put it in the Dehydrator a few hours before I wanted to eat them. That seemed to work well. Some things I kept out, though... but the Icecream, Cheese, and CheeseCakes were re-frozen easily. The Pizza's didn't even stand a chance in the Frig!!!!! LOL!!!! The Burgers I had 2 days later and they were SOOOO GOOODD!!! The only thing I wish was that all of the Sauces and Guac were placed on the side so that I could warm it up separately, but I'm happy with my whole package from Grezzo!!!

WOWWWW!!!! What a TREMENDOUS HONOR!!!! (blush, blush....) THANK YOU!!!! That is SO COOL!!!! Meeting ALISSA was one experience I'll never forget!!! As I told her, I'm DEFINITELY planning another trip to see her!!! I wanna bring my Hubby and Kids, who are STILL mad at me for not taking them!!! LOL!!!
==================
Ever Since I got back from meeting Alissa, I could NOT get her Flax Crackers off of my mind!!!! So, I MADE THEM the way that SHE makes them...SUPER THIN!!!!
AND HERE IT IS FROM THE SIDE:
AND, ***NOW*** I know What Alissa means when she says that the "goo" will hold it together!!! It's SO much better this WAY!!!! Thanks Alissa!!!
I also could NOT get Alissa's Pizza and her Eggplant Bacon Sandwich out of my mind!!! So, I made her Pizza Bread for them both:
It turned out SOOOO MUCH BETTER this time!!!! Just talking with her and the tips Alissa gave me for them made a HUGE difference!!!!
I also could not get her GRANOLA out of my head!!!! So, I also made the Granola in Alissa's book!!!
I must say, this SCARED me at first!!!!! It looks NOTHING like the one at Grezzo!!! The ingredients are very different... But, when it was done dehydrating, it's actually REALLLY GOOD!!! I wish that it was a bit sweeter, so next time I will add more fruit to it. The Granola that Lea made at Grezzo is 100X's BETTER, mind you... But, the one in Alissa's book holds it's own well!!! (I also added Raisons to mine...)
Alissa...please consider shipping the Granola too!!! I'd buy a TON of it!!!! (SMILE)

Oh yeah baby! I love making my crackers thin...they are crunchier. I am so loving un-cooking right now. It's been over a year! Where I was renting I had all my "stuff" put away so the hardwood floors could be re-done. Then moving the HFS - way too busy, too tired to un-cook, then me moving. Now I'm loving this.
People laugh at me for taking pics of my Raw food goodnesses, but to me they are works of art.
Nature at it's finest!!!
Nee'? Keep posting those pics baby!!!
OOOHHHH, I forgot to mention what Alissa showed me about her Eggplant Bacon!!! Hers is SUPER THINNER than mine!!! And has 10X's the flavor!!! So, she said to use a Veggie Peeler instead of the Mandolin to peel the Eggplant!!!! She goes all around the Eggplant with the Peeler and it is marinated like that!!! I bought 2 of them and will have them dehydrated by the evening!!!!
Here's Alissa's Again:
JUST LOOKING AT IT, YOU CAN ***SEE*** THE FLAVOR IN IT!!! Believe me when I tell you, this is 'da BOMB!!!! :)

OH! That's too funny. I've always used the peeler...interesting!
I confess, I simply sliced my eggplant with my little veggie knife! I guess it was pretty thick....

Salafist Muslims tried to prevent the filming of current Internet craze the “Harlem Shake” at a Tunis school on Wednesday, but were driven off after coming to blows with students, an AFP correspondent said.
When the dozen or so ultra-conservative Muslims, some of them women in veils, showed up at the Bourguiba Language Institute in the El Khadra neighbourhood, a Salafist bastion, students shouted “Get out, get out!”
One of the Salafists, wearing military gear and carrying a Molotov cocktail he never used, shouted “Our brothers in Palestine are being killed by Israelis, and you are dancing.”
The Islamists eventually withdrew, and the students were able to film their production.
On Monday, Education Minister Abdellatif Abid said a probe had been ordered into.

Britain in 2012 held on to its position as the world’s second biggest exporter of television programmes after the US on the back of hit dramas such as Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife, a report said on Thursday.
Talent shows such as the Dutch-originated The Voice, meanwhile, illustrated the continued huge popularity of reality television, according to the Television Year in the World report by audience researcher company Eurodata TV Worldwide.
Period drama Downton Abbey has been sold to over 100 countries with the third series attracting a record 8.2 million viewers on the US channel PBS (Public Broadcasting Service), it said.
Other programmes bolstering UK exports included the drama Mr Selfridge and detective series Midsomer Murders.
But despite the success of such programmes, the popularity of reality television continued to grow in 2012.
The format for The Voice was exported to 16 territories in 2012 from Vietnam to Turkey and Australia, compared to three in 2011.
The other most successful reality show formats were Got Talent, developed by British music mogul Simon Cowell, Strictly Come Dancing, originated in the UK and remade in the US as Dancing with the Stars, followed by Masterchef (UK).

Can someone please tell me - in case I've missed it - what is the fascination with the Kardashians who have become almost a cottage industry? These girls have done nothing on their own to deserve all this attention, except that their father was part of the dream team who got off a jaded football player who had been accused of killing his wife. Kim is famous because of her big behind. What is so big about that, except her big bum, of course? In early South African history, the San (bushmen) were known for their stick-out bums, almost ostrich shaped. Is there some connection here? Please someone, give these girls a cause or something to do with their lives. They have only their looks to trade on and have the collective intelligence of a pea.
Sorry if I sound grumpy today. I can't get over my Rafa losing these past weeks. And I've just survived a three-plane nightmare yesterday. I was invited to an event in Nelspruit where my film Confessions of a Gambler was being shown, and there was a mess-up with my flights, a mess-up in the toilets where the floors were wet, the toilet was stinking, and there was not a scrap of toilet paper, and no seats on the toilets. How would you feel if you had to hold in your pee for six hours? And then the best part, when I finally arrived back at midnight at Cape Town airport, no one was there to fetch me. Lying in bed now trying to recover.

An insurance company that wrote a policy on the life of alleged Ponzi schemer Ashvin Zaveri--now deceased--is asking courts to sort out who should get what share of the policy’s $3 million-plus-interest payout.
The William Penn Life Insurance Co. of New York filed an interpledar action May 23 in the U.S. District Court in Rochester asking that Zaveri heirs and other named beneficiaries be barred from collecting payoffs until courts sort out their conflicting claims to assets in Zaveri’s estate.
Interpledars are lawsuits in which parties holding assets belonging to others ask a court to compel claimants to such assets to litigate among themselves to determine who should get what share.
Federal prosecutors criminally charged Zaveri, who ran a Monroe County investment firm, in 2009, alleging in a six-count indictment that high-return shares in supposed oil-and-gas leases Zaveri sold were a $35 million Ponzi scheme.
Prosecutors dropped the criminal case before it was tried, asking for it to be dismissed some four months after Zaveri committed suicide last year.
Since then, victims of the alleged Ponzi scheme, Zaveri’s heirs and the federal government have vied to claim some or all of an estimated $12 million estate, most of which consists of proceeds from several life insurance policies including the William Penn policy.
Competing claims to part or all of the Zaveri estate are filed in state Supreme court, Surrogate Court and federal court.
The William Penn interpledar names 10 individuals, including Zaveri’s widow, who have stated claims to part of the $3 million policy’s payout.
“William Penn is indifferent and disinterested as to which of the defendants is entitled to proceeds of the policy… (and is) unable to safely determine which of the defendants is entitled to that amount. As a result of these adverse claims, William Penn is or may exposed to multiple liability,” the insurance company’s court filing states.
In addition to being excused from any liability in any payout it might make, the insurance company asks to be repaid for its costs in filing the interpledar.

services in England and Wales has revealed good overall standards
of care, but substantial variation in quality.
The
National Audit of Psychological Therapies (NAPT) –. 15% of the services that
submitted data for the retrospective audit did not have any
patients with a pre and post score for at least one outcome
measure.
The audit report urges all psychological
therapy services to routinely collect information about what
response people make to the treatment they are given.
The audit found that services are generally
good at providing evidence-based psychological treatments recommend

Some 83% of patients with a diagnosis for which there is a NICE
guideline were given the recommended therapy for their condition. – patient feedback
indicates that long waits can have a negative impact on a person’s
mental health.
The report also identified concerns about the

Kevin Harvick and the No. 29 Budweiser Team Earn Top-10 Finish in the Lone Star State
"This is better than I've been (at Texas) lately, so we'll take that and work on what we need to improve for next time."
Start – 15
Finish – 9
Laps Led – 0
Points Position – 5
Kevin Harvick and the No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet team took home a ninth-place finish in Saturday night’s Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Harvick started the race from the 15th position and quickly drove into the top 10. The Bakersfield, Calif., native drove as high as second until the caution flag waved and the team pitted at lap 68. Trouble with a lug nut slowed the Shane Wilson-led team’s pit stop and cost Harvick seven spots. While driving in traffic, Harvick was faced with a tight-handling car. Following a lap-96 caution, the field restarted at lap 100 and the remainder of the race ran under green-flag conditions, setting a race record for fewest cautions (two) and caution laps (10). The No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet developed a loose-handling condition in the second half of the race and the team continued to make adjustments on each trip to pit road to alleviate the problem. Wilson reported to Harvick they were a couple laps shy of the finish on fuel and that he needed to save fuel. Harvick’s fuel savings paid off as the car ran out of gas just after he took the checkered flag in the ninth position. Harvick now sits fifth in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings.

quote:ORIGINAL: gringopete Send the muffler back to us and we will send you a new one.
Hey guysI wasn't trying to be insulting about the engine or the dealer. I wanted the wrap around pitts muffler and this one didn't fit right. Maybe someone put a wrong muffler in a wrong package.The man did say send it back and he would send me another. I was just looking for a fix. At any rate I will be buying more products from this dealer. In another thread someone made a remark (I was in the planning stage of buying this engine) "You get what you pay for" Well I have not read anything bad about this particular engine so I chose it.I plan to as I said to post an update on the outcome in a new thread. I thought when someone has a problem like this, It would be good to post about it. That way everyone knows about the problem and any resolutions.To me it's as important to know about when there is a problem and to know when and if there's a resolution.

If you are currently looking for a web designer or web hosting, e-mail us at
[email protected]
or call us at 256-575-0041. We will be happy to discuss your needs.
Our webhosting plans are available here.
We have seen web site designers who charge $500 or more for a simple site. It is possible to spend that much, but you don't have to! You can establish a web presence for under $500. Over time, as your web site proves itself, you can add to it. We charge $55 an hour to create a custom site for you. Our web sites typically start at approximately $175 for a basic site. That price does not include web hosting, domain name registration, or scripts. Example of a basic site with custom graphics:
bigcscottsboro.com
Below we discuss some of the services we offer. If you don't see exactly what you are looking for, ask. If we can't do it, we can subcontract with a well-qualified developer who has the appropriate skills.
Because all our web sites are custom designed, it is not possible to give you a firm price prior to discussing your needs. We can give you some general guidelines based on our experience. We will give you a solid estimate once we have met (physically or via e-mail and telephone) to discuss your specific needs. If we develop your site for less than our estimate, of course we will not charge you the full estimated price; we charge only for work actually performed.
Our fees are based on $55.00 per hour. Our initial consultation with you is free. This consultation helps you determine if we are the right developers for you and helps us develop a detailed estimate for your site based on your needs.
We offer the following services:
Web Hosting
Domain Name Registration
Web Design
Web Maintenance
Web Repair
Scripts
Web Graphics
Proof Reading and Text Preparation
Web Promotion
Web Consulting
Web Hosting
Web hosting is what a server does when it stores your website files and links them to your domain name. When someone wants to see your website, it will send the files to them. This allows them to see your website in their browser.
Web hosting can include web pages, blogs, pictures, and other forms of presenting your ideas.
Our webhosting plans are available here.
Back to List
Domain Name Registration
This is where you purchase the name or wording you want people to use to access your web pages. People will type in your domain name (example) and it will be linked to a website. A domain name has to be renewed. If you buy it for one year then at the end of the year you will have to renew it. It can be purchased for more than one year at a time.
The company you purchase it from is called a Registar. To move it from one Registar to another Registar is called a Transfer.
We can help you with this process. Please contact us about this if you would like us to help you.
Back to List
Web Design
There are thousands of 'Template Web Sites' on the web. To stand out from the crowd, your web site must tell your unique story in your unique way. All our web sites are personally crafted to reflect your business and your needs.
Navigation is important. We seek to arrange your site so it is easy for your visitors to find their way around without getting confused.
A good web site will load quickly. We try for less than eight seconds download time per page. Zona Research shows that eight seconds is, on average, as long as viewers will wait before clicking away to a different web site. The main page should load almost instantaneously and tell the viewer what he or she can expect to find on the rest of the site. Many viewers are willing to wait as long as fifteen or twenty seconds if they are warned ahead of time, and if they know what they are waiting for.
Some people prefer to start small, with a minimal cash investment. Your Internet Service Provider probably offers free web space on their server. With this free service, you do not enjoy your own domain name, but it may be an appropriate way for you to 'get your feet wet'. We can set up a small site in your personal free space if you would like to start small.
If you already have a site on another server, or if you would prefer a different server, we do work with other providers.
Back to List
Web Maintenance
Once established, a web site should be maintained on a regular basis. Fresh content keeps visitors coming back. Any links to outside web pages should be checked periodically. Your business may grow or change direction, and your web site should reflect those changes. We will work with you to develop a web maintenance policy that reflects your needs.
We charge hourly for this service. Some types of sites require frequent updates, others don't. One month you may need major changes, another month you may require few, if any changes. You should not be charged for work we are not doing. By the same token, we should be compensated for time we do spend on your site.
Back to List
Web Repair
If your site has become outdated and needs a complete, or partial, overhaul, we will work with you to design new pages to replace your old site. Our fee structure is the same as for new development. We charge only for work actually performed, so if your old site is structurally sound, your costs should be less than for a new site.
Back to List
Scripts
Scripts are lines of code written to do something for a website customer, like a form that will take information and send it to you, or a shopping cart, or a back end that allows you to login and change certain content. Scripts can be used for many things. If you need something special, please let us know.
Back to List
Web Graphics
We have scanners and graphics software. If you already have an established business identity, or if you have specific graphics you would like to use, we can scan photographs and line art. We can also capture pictures off videotape. If you do not have a "business identity", or if you would like to re-define your image, we would be happy to work with you to develop an image appropriate to your business and your needs. We create custom graphics tailored to your needs and desires.
Back to List
Proofreading and Text Preparation
In general we would prefer that you write the text that you want to represent you and your business on the web. If you can provide the text in electronic format that we can read, it will save us time and you money. We will proofread and recommend changes where necessary. We will require that you approve any changes beyond simple typos. We are not experts in your field, and could introduce a technical error by fixing a grammatical one.
Back to List
Promotion
Once we have completed a site and it is ready to be made public, it must be promoted in some way. Our development efforts include Meta Tags to help Search Engine Robots find your pages and accurately represent them in their listing. We will submit your completed site to the top general Search Engines and Indexers.
Back to List
Web Consulting
If you already have a web site, or if you choose to create your own, we will review your web site and provide written suggestions and recommendations. We review both the appearance and the coding. Consulting fees start at $110 and are based on the same $55 per hour charges as for our other web work. Charges beyond $110 are only incurred after the first two hours of review time. For many sites, the first two hours are likely to be the most productive. An exhaustive review of each page in a large web site is likely to simply reiterate points already covered in the main pages of the site. If desired, we will also suggest appropriate search engines to register with.

We are webmaster for several sites now. You can see a list with links to them

Where to find out what's really good..
Each of the Crogan graphic novels opens with a framing scene set in the present day, as Dr. Crogan and his wife deal with their energetic sons, Eric and Cory. Inevitably a story is told by Dr. Crogan about one of their ancestors, and from there we dip into the past. This time we get a story about two Crogans, Charles and William Crogan who fought on opposing sides of the Revolutionary War. And as we learn about the bonds of brotherhood and country, it rapidly becomes a story where it’s clear that it’s not ever easy to put one of the two ahead of the other.
In the hands of another creator, I think this basic thrust for Crogan’s Loyalty could come across as extremely cheesy. Fortunately, that’s not the case with Schweizer. With Crogan’s Loyalty, Schweizer side-steps that potential pitfall by giving us a strong look into both of the Crogan brothers’ heads and their loyalties, both to country and one another. In the opening framing sequence, Dr. Crogan quickly establishes that there isn’t a simple "one is good, one is bad" divide between the two, but rather a case where two people each fought for what they felt was right. It’s an important distinction to be made right at the start, because it sets Crogan’s Loyalty off on the right foot with the reader. Schweizer never makes Charles or William’s side of the war automatically the better one, something that succeeds in part because none of this is set during any major battles or events. It’s a small-scale story, where the relationship between the two brothers as well as with William’s love for local farmer Bess are what’s at stake.
Early in the book, we get a good look at the two brothers interacting in a friendly manner. It’s one of my favorite parts of Crogan’s Loyalty, as they finish each other’s sentences, trade stories about favorite memories, and generally laugh and have a good time. The sequence comes across extremely natural and not forced; you genuinely get the feeling that these two characters know and love one another, even as they continue to hold ideological differences. That’s something that certainly exists in families today, and I suspect a lot of readers will be able to see people they know reflected in the faces of Charles and William Crogan. When the balance of power begins to shift back and forth between the two—and that shift is important because it lets us see how each would act when they have they upper hand—we’re still able to remember that friendly rapport between the two and keep that in mind even as things begin to go south. I have a suspicion that most people will ultimately have a favorite Crogan between the two brothers by the end of Crogan’s Loyalty, but I appreciate that Schweizer never forces that decision on us through a narrative proclamation; at no point are we point-blank told whom we should cheer for.
It also doesn’t hurt that Crogan’s Loyalty is beautifully drawn from start to the finish. Unlike the earlier volumes, set on sailing ships or in either the desert or underground, here Schweizer’s story is deep in the wilderness, and that means a series of lush locations for him to draw. As a result we get tons of trees, rocks, streams, and even a climactic scene at a small waterfall. And sure, it’s a tiny bit of a cliche to have a fight over a waterfall, but it looks so great that it’s hard to complain (and it fits with the overall story).
More importantly, the art of Crogan’s Loyalty is about more than just the backgrounds. I like how Schweizer draws his characters; wide-eyed and open-faced, it’s a good thing that none of them are professional poker players because what we see is what we get. It’s an attractive look, and it lends itself to a lot of smooth motion across the page; everything from raising a rifle to hurling an axe comes across like we’re seeing it actually animated instead of as a static image. Schweizer also does a good job of blocking his panels and pages to draw the eye to just the right moments; when the brothers are suddenly, attacked, for instance, the Indian is cast in shadow so that he’s almost a force moving towards them. You see the Indian, then you see the brothers and the "Look out!" word balloon that he’s hurtling towards. There’s no way for the Indian to blend into the background here, grabbing your attention instantly.
Crogan’s Loyalty is another strong addition to the Crogan’s Adventures books. I love that each one stands on its own—you can absolutely read them in any order—and that Schweizer has once again given his book just the right pacing. After the deliberately abrupt ending of the main story for Crogan’s March (which was great but also cruel), long time readers will probably be a little happier with how Schweizer ends Crogan’s Loyalty; it ends at just the right moment, with a bit of epilogue told in the present day. Even better, I think the framing structure for present day sequence is at its best in this book; it’s got a lot more emotional heft than the previous two, and once again, Schweizer concludes that story at just the right moment. Crogan’s Loyalty is another winner from Schweizer. My only complaint is that when each book ends, it makes me want to read the next one right away. Crogan’s Loyalty is a charmer, through and through.

=$1.5 million: Razor wire widow sues City, RTF
NEWS- $1.5 million: Razor wire widow sues City, RTF
Months after razor-wiring widow Shirley Presley avoided a misdemeanor conviction in Charlottesville District Court, she has filed a $1.5 million civil suit in U.S. District Court against the City of Charlottesville and the nonprofit Rivanna Trails Foundation.
In her Valentine's Day filing, Presley claims, among other things, that she was deprived of due process and that both the City and the Foundation conspired to cause people to trespass on her land. Her attorney, Debbie Wyatt, says Presley is simply trying to recover from the trauma of the last three years during which hikers and bikers crossed her property on their way along the Rivanna River, leaving trash, vandalizing her property, and occasionally pitching tents.
"The biggest thing is that she has a right to her property," says Wyatt, who took over the case from Presley's former attorney, Fred Payne.
The City's attorney, Alvaro Inigo, and the Foundation's Richmond-based counsel, Stanley Wellman, did not immediately return the Hook's calls, but Jerry Tomlin, the City's top building inspector, says he believes Presley's razor wire, which remained on her property as of mid-April, is still illegal.
"Hopefully, the federal judge will see the real case here," says Tomlin, "that razor wire is illegal."
Presley's problems began in 2001 after her husband died following a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's disease. Newly widowed, the nearly 70-year-old Presley soon became fearful when she noticed people crossing the lower portion of her .73-acre Bland Circle property on foot. She became angry when she realized the people were crossing because her land had been included on the Rivanna Trail Foundation map, directing hikers and bikers on a continuous 20-mile loop around the City.
Unlike other City residents who have granted easements to the nonprofit Foundation, neither Presley nor any of her Bland Circle neighbors had been asked permission.
"It was an oversight," said [a Foundation official] when Presley objected and piled brush across her land. The Foundation posted a detour on the trail and reprinted their map sans Presley's property, but, Presley claimed, the trespassing continued.
Indeed, when the Hook began covering the saga in July 2002, a reporter came upon a hiker dismantling Presley's brush pile.
"I'm from California," shouted the angry hiker, throwing brush from the trail, "and we believe in freedom." Such incidents helped Presley earn free legal services from her attorneys and made her something of a property rights hero for fighting the government to protect her land from trespassers.
When Presley realized her brush pile was an ineffective deterrent, she soon chose something a bit more menacing: razor wire, installing two 30-foot, coiling stretches of it just two-feet off the ground– eye level for many domestic pets, and chest level for small children. In fact, in two separate incidents, a dog and an admittedly trespassing jogger have been slashed in the barrier.
The City issued a citation in 2003, but because of the way the code was written, Presley was allowed six months to remove the illegal obstruction. In [April] 2004 with the razor wire still in place, and now landscaped with azaleas bushes the City issued a new warning, giving her 10 days to remove the wire. Presley declined, and the City took her to court for violating a new City law prohibiting razor wire on residential property, a class one misdemeanor.
Presley returned fire, attacking the City for passing the new law and subpoenaing 13 witnesses, including Tomlin, City manager Gary O'Connell, police chief Tim Longo, and this reporter.
On October 29, Judge Bob Downer in Charlottesville District Court didn't see things as the City had hoped. Because the new section of the City Code specifies that razor wire must "enclose or partially enclose" the property, Downer dismissed the charge.
In their response to Presley's federal lawsuit, the City and Foundation deny "malicious prosecution" and urge the court to dismiss the case by attacking the notion that they could conspire "to cause others to trespass." They also say the statute of limitations has expired in Presley's claim and that the City enjoys sovereign immunity from such suits.
Wyatt says no hearing has been scheduled, but she believes a federal judge could issue a ruling at a summary judgment hearing before a trial.
Tomlin maintains his hope that the judge will rule against Presley.
"I don't have a problem with her protecting her property," he says. "But a sign should be sufficient. She doesn't have to use something to endanger animals."
Shirley Presley becomes a suit-or with a Valentine's Day lawsuit against the City.

* In our print version of the story above, we misattributed the "oversight" quotation to a certain Foundation official who was not, in fact, the official who gave that comment to the Hook. The story above has been corrected including our mistake on the month that the City cited Presley under its new razor wire law, also corrected above in this online edition–editor.
