Bangladesh handed T20 caps to fast bowler Abu Jayed Chowdhury Rahi and spinner Mahedi Hassan as 62nd and 63rd T20 players at the time of the second and last T20 fixture of the two-match T20 International series against Sri Lanka at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium yesterday.
Bangladesh stand-in captain Mahmudullah Riyad handed cap to Mahedi, while paceman Rubel Hossain to Rahi in the clapped-filled presence of the Bangladesh squad and its coaching staffs.
Sylhet-born Rahi drew the attention of all the fronts with his BPL performance as he played 12-match road string for Khulna Titans and grabbed 18 wickets. His international debut was for the time being.
Mahedi on the other hand played last BPL for the Comilla Victorians. His performance for the Victorians was also better. He later played Asian Emerging Cup for Bangladesh. Even he toured England with Bangladesh High Performance (HP) team, wherein he showed his grits.
Abu Jayed, who played 59 first-class matches coupled with 36 List-A and 30 T20 encounters prior to the outset of his international career, picked up one wicket conceding 45 runs in his four overs with the economy of 11.25.
Mahedi, who played so far 25 first-class matches along with 32 List-A and 12 T20 outings before his international debut, remained wicketless having bowled two overs and gave away 25 runs with the economy of 12.50.
Earlier, Nazmul Islam Apu, Zakir Hasan, Ariful Haque and Afif Hossain debuted for Bangladesh in the opener of the T20 series in Dhaka on February 15. In fact BCB included these youngsters in the national team with an aim to form a balanced side with experienced and youngsters for the next ICC World Cup to be held in England.
This match was very crucial for Bangladesh as they are yet to win any match against the tourists in this bilateral series. Sri Lanka led the series 1-0 by winning the first match following their Test series 1-0 win.
Meanwhile, players from both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka cricket teams were greeted by Sylhet Divisional Sports Association (DSA) as a part of their planning to mark the maiden participation of the Bangladesh national cricket team at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium yesterday.
Saiful Alam Chowdhury Nadel, general of the Sylhet DSA and director of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) handed over the crests to the players of the both teams at their respective hotel (Rose View) in Sylhet.
But Nadel later handed over to Bangladesh stand-in T20 captain Mahmudullah Riyad in the stadium just before the toss for the last T20 fixture of the two-match T20 series as a symbol of memorabilia.
"Even though a string of international games held here, Bangladesh National men's cricket team will play their first international game in Sylhet venue. So, we had planned to make it memorable," said Saiful Alam Chowdhury.
"As a part of it, we greeted them all by handing over crests at their hotel though we had plans to do it in the stadium. But it's not done possible due to the constraint of time," Nadel told The Independent.
"Thought it's not possible to present crest to all the players in the stadium, we handed over a crest to our captain Mahmudullah Riyad as a symbol," he added.
The picturesque stadium, which was built in the Lakkatura Tea Garden area in 2013, extended to increase the capacity ahead of the T20 World Cup for both men's and women's cricket teams in 2014. Then, it hosted six first round games of the Men's T20 World Cup along with a string of games of the Women's World T20.
With the capacity of over 18,000 seats the greenery and picturesque stadium till yesterday did not host any match of the Bangladesh national team.
Nadel later handed the special toss coin to the match referees. Bangladesh captain tossed the coin and decided to bowl first after winning. After the loss, the coin will be kept reserve in Sylhet DSA office as a memorabilia.

That proved true for more than 30 years.
Yes, there are "no parking, private" signs posted in the lot. But the entrepreneurs said that wasn't enforced on weekends because it would discourage badly needed commerce downtown.
Don't you believe it.
Our Camry was parked there for about an hour. Another driver, who was parking there when we drove in, had headed to Louisa's Place and hadn't returned by the time we did. The lots were nearly full, but there were spaces available. Meanwhile, we did a significant amount of costly shopping. I'd tell you how much we spent and where, but our children and grandchildren read this column, and I don't want to tip them off about their gifts.
We returned to put our treasures in the car's trunk, then left for one more shop-stop, a frozen yogurt treat and buying a few Cal Poly souvenirs for stocking stuffers.
But when we returned again, our car was no longer parked where it had been.
In shock, we consulted the "no parking" sign and immediately called the tow company listed there. (Bless cell phones.) The dispatcher said our car wasn't there. We called the police department, and kindly dispatcher Carrie told us they didn't have it either.
Wide-eyed, I said that if the car hadn't been towed then it must have been stolen, right there in broad daylight, which seemed unlikely. With diligent research, however, Carrie found the car, and yes, it had been towed away. Carrie, Officer Tom and tow driver Ryan all were courteous, cheerful, helpful and as gentle as possible.
But why us?
Many other cars were parked there and in the adjacent lots; some vehicles had been there far longer than we had. Those people couldn't all have been employees of local shops. Besides, we'd seen other drivers arrive with families, piling out of their cars en masse and heading off to shop, just as we had. And their cars weren't towed.
Just ours.
Ryan said that if we'd parked a few spaces down, rather than in the streetside space nearest the building, our car would never have been noticed, let alone towed away.
According to the tow company, the person who leases the parking spot we'd taken was the one who called in the complaint. Apparently, he was ticked off because we'd parked in his pet spot. We think we know who he was.By then we'd gone from shock, to fear, to relief that the car was safe, to sticker shock and then sheer fury that we'd been singled out.
What if we hadn't had the $340 to pay the fine?
When I got into the car, I saw a rain-drenched notice on the window, which said in part, "We are giving you this warning as a courtesy, but your license plate number has been recorded. Next time you will be towed."
Yeah, sure. Next time I parked there? Apparently that meant the next time he looked and saw we hadn't left yet.
If anytime in the past three decades, someone had posted that warning flyer on our windshield, we'd have never parked there again. We certainly won't now.
We were parking in a private lot. And just because we and other people have been doing it for decades didn't make it allowable any more, I guess.
But wouldn't you think whoever ordered the tow might have considered the season, the weather and the money we very likely were spending downtown? Have San Luis attitudes really changed from neighbor to Scrooge?
So, I'm wondering: Next time the street-side parking spaces are full, will I willingly go 'round and 'round the block in downtown SLO until a vacancy opens up? Or will I head out to the big-box stores where parking is available by the acre and where traffic allows me to drop my husband off at the store — without risking life, limb and bumper — and then I'll go park my car someplace where it won't be towed away?
Or will I just give up and shop online?

I am likely to start carrying out a publish or more per week about celebrity tattoos. For many unknown reason the planet appears to become excessively obsessive about celebrities and individuals need to know everything about the subject as well as their tattoos aren't any different. So many people are curious to be aware what a few of their favorite celebrities have tattoos of and just what a number of them might mean.
Well I figured I'd begin with Penelope Cruz. I understand she is a type of random celebrity however i look at this interview together with her speaking about her tattoo. Or must i say the possible lack of speaking about her tattoo. Penelope appears to be really guarded about her tattoo and won't reveal this is or significance behind it. Which to be honest she's every to believe that way. But it's just a little odd since most people prefer to share the storyline behind their tats. But when she would like to help keep hers private than all capacity to her.
Could it be true you have 883 inked in your ankle?
It is a fact, however i never say why.
Could it be a place code?
No, and it is not really a Harley-Davidson. It isn't the various things which have been stated.
So everybody may have a theory?
I do not think anybody cares. It's my very own tattoo.
And it is your personal ankle.
I suppose we can't be aware of meaning behind the 883 on ther ankle. But for now I suppose all of us will have to keep guessing or trying to generate what it really might mean. However it does not appear like Penelope will confirm it also when we do guess the best factor.

The opening reception is November 6, 2015, 5-7pm. The exhibit is free and open to the public and runs November 6 – December 26, 2015. Gallery Hours are Monday through Saturday, 10am – 6pm; Sunday, 11am – 5pm.


Going to the temple adorned with holy symbols like the Holy Ash, rudrAxam.
Saluting the elephant headed Lord enter the Lord's abode.
It is normally a procedure to offer something to the priest whose whole life should be in the service of the Lord.
Circumambulating the Lord saluting the Goddess and the deities in the temple. The circumambulation would be done at least for three times. On special occasions like pradoshham the are special circumambulation methods like soma sUkta pradhaxiNam are followed.
The mind should be focussed on the Lord like the dust of iron that stick to the magnet. A worship with such an orientation would have very good effect in us by the grace of the Almighty.

The Palace of la Moneda: From the trauma of the Hawker Hunters to the therapy of the signs
Pedro Santander, Enrique Aimone
The objective of this article is to analyze and interpret a series of semiotic-discursive interventions that have occurred in the seat of the Chilean government, the Palace of La Moneda. Underlying these observations is the conviction that the Palace of La Moneda is not only an architectural construction but also a material object that must be read as a sign; that is, a representation of aliquid pro aliquod. This analytic observation will be centred on the years of President Ricardo Lagos' government (2000-2005), because it is the period in which a series of semiotic actions can clearly be identified; these actions have impacted La Moneda and, underlying this impact, a strategy of sense production can be found. These actions are considered legible, the bulk of which makes up a syntax that results in a global sense or semiosis, whose objective is to change what the representation of this Palace means to Chile from the 1973 coup d'état on. According to the above, there are semio-discursive operations of sense investiture (Verón 1984) that the above mentioned government carries out in its political practice and that are in direct relation to the tragic history of September 11, 1973. The theoretical body of psychoanalysis has been used to hold that after the coup d'etat the governmental palace represents a trauma understood as a wound in the memory. Changing the value of that sign by means of semiotic operations accounts for both the importance of semiosis in the political practice and the motivated character of the signs.

N2 - The objective of this article is to analyze and interpret a series of semiotic-discursive interventions that have occurred in the seat of the Chilean government, the Palace of La Moneda. Underlying these observations is the conviction that the Palace of La Moneda is not only an architectural construction but also a material object that must be read as a sign; that is, a representation of aliquid pro aliquod. This analytic observation will be centred on the years of President Ricardo Lagos' government (2000-2005), because it is the period in which a series of semiotic actions can clearly be identified; these actions have impacted La Moneda and, underlying this impact, a strategy of sense production can be found. These actions are considered legible, the bulk of which makes up a syntax that results in a global sense or semiosis, whose objective is to change what the representation of this Palace means to Chile from the 1973 coup d'état on. According to the above, there are semio-discursive operations of sense investiture (Verón 1984) that the above mentioned government carries out in its political practice and that are in direct relation to the tragic history of September 11, 1973. The theoretical body of psychoanalysis has been used to hold that after the coup d'etat the governmental palace represents a trauma understood as a wound in the memory. Changing the value of that sign by means of semiotic operations accounts for both the importance of semiosis in the political practice and the motivated character of the signs.

Set your alarm for next week: It's time for a new Sony Xperia smartwatch
Kevin C. Tofel Jun 21, 2013 (Jun 9, 2020) -- Blog Post
It doesn't take a genius to figure out what Sony(s sne) plans to announce at next week's Mobile Asia Expo in Shanghai. All you have to do is look at the company's Sony Xperia Twitter feed. Based on these two tweets, an updated or — more likely — a new smartwatch will be introduced, marking the company's third attempt in this wearable market.
Here's the evidence for you to piece the "puzzle" together:
https://twitter.com/sonyxperia/status/348071064879919104
Perhaps the third time's a charm?
Clearly, Sony's got a plan for a new smartwatch. And it should. In 2010 and again in 2012, Sony brought this very product-type to market and although it might have been ahead of its time, it wasn't a device for the masses. I say that after buying my own Sony Live View watch and testing it in 2011. Even at the 50 percent discounted price for a used model — the device sold new for $150 — it ended up in my desk drawer within days.
I'm hoping Sony has addressed the biggest problem I had back then: Connectivity. That's a key aspect of any wearable gadget that acts as a second screen to a smartphone. If the watch can't hold its wireless connection to the phone — and the Live View I used was terrible with this — you won't get notifications, caller ID information, weather or other data from the smartphone. My guess is that Sony will be using a newer Bluetooth standard, such as Bluetooth 4.0, for its new smartwatch.
Does a smartwatch require a phone? Nope.
Of course, that assumes the new product actually requires a phone. It's possible for a smartwatch to work just fine without one, for certain functions at least. The Motorola(s goog) MotoACTV smartwatch that I bought in 2012 and still use today is a perfect example.
Inside is not only a Bluetooth radio, but also Wi-Fi and GPS radios as well. This allows the watch to sync data to and from the web without any smartphone interaction. And I can use it without a phone as a GPS on the golf course (complete with club recommendations!) or as an exercise tracker when running or biking. For phone-centric data — incoming calls or texts, for example — a phone connection is still required.
So what do I expect next week? I'm sure Sony will have finally nailed down the connectivity challenges that a watch that acts as a second screen for a phone has faced. And the device will very likely work with Android phones, just like its predecessors. That opens the door for developers to create lighter versions of their Android phone apps; after all, you won't be able to do much with a small screen.
What I'd really like to see, however, is the standalone type of wearable like my current watch. There are times when wearing a watch shouldn't require carrying a phone, such as while exercising. It's fine for a smartwatch to use a phone's persistent web connection but with today's technology, it shouldn't be a stretch for a smartwatch to work on its own as well.

Canada's Greens stand up to pro-Israel bullies
Yves Engler The Electronic Intifada 5 December 2016
Green Party leader Elizabeth May has failed to grasp the depth of support for the Palestinian cause both within and outside her party. (Laurel L. Russwurm)
The Israel lobby has suffered an epic fail in Canada. An attempt at persuading the country's Green Party to drop its support for the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement galvanized many activists. The result was that Canada's Greens have emphatically demanded that Palestinian rights be respected.
In August, the Green Party's members voted to back BDS measures targeting those sectors of the Israeli economy which profit from the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. As is par for the course, Israeli nationalist groups labeled the resolution "anti-Semitic."
Describing herself as "broken-hearted," the Greens' leader Elizabeth May threatened to resign if the party didn't revisit the issue.
May, then, announced that a special general membership meeting would be held at the start of December to discuss its stance on Palestine.
In September, she fired three members of her shadow cabinet for defending the party's recently passed policy from attacks by the head of the British Columbia Greens.
But May overplayed her hand.
Caught in the Ottawa and corporate media bubble, she failed to grasp the depth of support for the Palestinian cause both within and outside her party. She also underestimated Palestine solidarity groups' organizational capacities.
In the lead-up to last weekend's special general meeting, Dimitri Lascaris, one of the three fired by May, spoke in defense of BDS at town hall meetings across Canada.
Support for the Palestine policy was overwhelming during these events.
Despite media claims to the contrary – "Green Party losing members, riding associations as BDS controversy highlights infighting," according to one National Post headline – the party has more to gain by aligning with the growing number of Canadians critical of the federal government's support for Israeli violence and colonialism.
Facing the prospect of a humiliating defeat at the special meeting, May and other party leaders backed an alternative resolution, which was approved at last weekend's meeting.
An explanatory note issued by the Greens claims that the party "explicitly rejects" calls for boycotting the State of Israel. The note indicates that the Greens could not support the BDS movement as its goals do not include "supporting the right of the State of Israel to exist."
Nonetheless, the new resolution supports the targeted use of boycotts, divestment and sanctions as tactics in response to violence and oppression.
It also backs the three main demands made by the BDS movement: an end to Israel's colonization of Palestinian lands; full equality between Israeli Jews and Palestinian citizens of Israel; and guaranteeing the right to return of Palestinian refugees.
The resolution calls, too, for an end to the siege of Gaza and insists that Canada divests from companies that benefit from Israel's activities in the occupied West Bank. It also urges the renegotiation of the free trade agreement between Canada and Israel so that goods produced within Israel's settlements in the West Bank are "explicitly" excluded. The resolution also promotes the "indefinite suspension" of all military cooperation and trade in weapons and surveillance equipment.
The new resolution was swiftly denounced by Canada's pro-Israel lobby. The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs in Toronto claimed that the Greens had been "coopted by extreme activists."
Pressure on NDP
The Green vote puts pressure on the historically left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP) to take a similar position.
Some political activists associated with the NDP are sympathetic to the Palestine solidarity movement.
Sid Ryan, former head of the Ontario Federation of Labour, signed a recent appeal addressed to members of the Canadian Greens. Also backed by the authors Yann Martel and Rawi Hage and musicians Richard Reed Parry, from the group Arcade Fire, and Bruce Cockburn, the letter urges Greens not to "weaken or reverse the vote to support Palestinian rights" taken in August.
Ryan is being spoken of as a possible candidate for NDP leader. A website urging him to enter the contest for that position celebrates his advocacy for Palestinian rights, including his support for the BDS movement.
No matter who wins the campaign to become NDP leader in October it's hard to imagine they will be worse than outgoing leader Tom Mulcair, who has described himself as an ally to Israel "in all circumstances."
For the pro-Israel groups, the Green vote will sting. Rather than forcing party members to cower, their attacks focused attention on the Palestinian struggle for equality and justice.

Elizabeth May: refusal to support BDS movement
Permalink Colin Smith replied on Tue, 12/06/2016 - 14:49
In 2010, just before l left to return to the U.K., I volunteered for Ms May in her office in Sidney, BC. I had known her 30 years before when we were both members of the "Friends of the Public Gardens" in Halifax. As an activist for Palestinian rights l shared with Ms May a subsequent action to persuade Margaret Atwood not to go to Israel to collect a cash award. I knew they had shared a stage recently for some reason. Out of concern for her l warned her that close association with an active supporter of Israel who spurned our entreaties may come back to haunt her. She replied with what l would characterize as an 'up yours' response and declared that they had a wonderful time on stage together. These e-mails still exist. Now it seems that her stance and my warning have collided, and she has come off the worse. Although l have always thought highly of Ms. May l felt there was an in-caution in her which wouldn't listen to advice, no matter how much concern for her is behind it. She could have pre-emptied this crisis by showing leadership and exposing the tyrannical intent of this legislation. Now she will have to back out and risk losing her leadership. It was obvious that the Zionist movement will lose support while the Palestinian cause will gain it through time, and that Ms. May should position herself on the side of the future and of justice for the ethnically cleansed rightful inhabitants of the pariah state called Israel. I further reject the notion that Israel has a right to protect itself. Israel stole the land by main force, and the Palestinians are quite entitled to fight to recover what was stolen from them. Israel has always been an illegal and immoral entity. Otherwise, as Norman Finkelstein points out, l would be entitled to go up to anyone's door with a book in one hand and a gun in the other, and require the occupants to move out. You can't keep stolen property.

This is my note to Ms May in 2010 after I received a form rejection letter from Margaret Atwood's publicist defending her appearance in Israel to receive the Dan David award. A cool half a million dollar prize. Everybody has their price, I suppose.
"I can tell you Elizabeth that she carries a lot of baggage in the Palestinian, Arab and human rights community. Given a chance to make a powerful statement, in concert with other artists by boycotting the award ceremony and speaking out against the open-air concentration camp that is Gaza, she balked and took the money and the bauble. I have lost all respect for her.
I am very concerned that some of this will stick to you, so feel you should be warned. Then you can make your own decisions. Expect questions about this at your appearance with her.
With admiration and affection

It is clear that opposition to the rogue nation is increasing exponentially.Reports of BDS successes are making the news far more often and the zionists are shaking in their shoes.The gig is up for these criminals and acts of further theft of Palestinian lands is creating more opposition to Israel.Israel has just refused to attend a peace conference in Paris and in doing so shows the world it is not interested in creating a just peace.
Time is long past due to treat Israel as the Pariah entity that it is.
We really need a Nuremberg

We really need a Nuremberg Trial for Israeli politicians who are war criminals and blatantly refuse to attend a peace conference. Or do you suppose they are afraid to be stopped and denied entry into France? England has refused entry into the country to Israelis before. The world is definitely getting tired of the Pariah state.

This is definitely one of the Green Party of Canada's heroic moments. I've hesitated voting Green before because I've considered it a wasted vote; but no matter what, this time my vote is going to go for the Green Party.
I can't understand the Liberal party. I voted for them last time to get rid of pro-Israeli Harper, only to be screwed by the Liberal party. With Trudeau's continued lies on all of his promises he is in big trouble.

As you probably know Elizabeth has changed her position on the Israeli BDS issue. I listened to the special meeting that they had in Calgary and I was proud of the Green Party taking the right road , read accepting the BDS motion.I have been a member of the Green party since 09 . I did the same ,I voted Liberal last time and it will be the LAST time.I am fed up with the pretty face Trudeau and his broken promises , namely his backtracking on his promise of the last election of first past the post.
To add to my last comment ,I recently read that a pole across Canada found that a huge majority of Canadians believe that BDS is a good way to force human rights obligations on the Israeli government.In the high 70 percentage points.

Conspiracy Theorists Are Trying To Link The Deaths Of A Billionaire Canadian Couple To The Clinton Foundation And It's Nuts
Police are still investigating the deaths of Barry and Honey Sherman.
Posted on January 24, 2018, 20:22 GMT

BuzzFeed News Reporter
The mysterious deaths of a wealthy Canadian couple have inexplicably become part of American conspiracy theories involving the Clinton Foundation and even Pizzagate.
Barry and Honey Sherman's bodies were found in their Toronto mansion on Dec. 15, 2017, by a real estate agent. The police deemed the deaths "suspicious" and are still investigating. Private investigators hired by the family say they were murdered by a team of killers, according to reports by the Toronto Star and CBC.
Their deaths led to an outpouring of sympathy from many prominent Canadians, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who attended the couple's funeral in December. Barry Sherman was the founder of Apotex, Canada's largest generic drug maker.
So what does their murder have to do with the Clintons? Nothing, according to current information from police and the family's own investigators. But a conspiracy theory is being spun thanks to the fact that Apotex previously donated medicine to aid initiatives linked with the Clinton Foundation in Haiti and elsewhere. Those same relief projects included many other companies.

02:54 AM - 16 Dec 2017
Thanks to that old and tenuous connection, the Shermans' deaths became fodder for right-wing claims about the "Clinton body count." According to this decades-old conspiracy theory, the Clintons have ordered the deaths of dozens of people who allegedly had incriminating information about them or stood in their way. And as is true of conspiracy theories more generally, new events are continually distorted to fit the preexisting narrative — no matter how flimsy the logic.
As Snopes.com has exhaustively detailed, there is absolutely no credible evidence for the Clinton body count conspiracy theory.
This week, the notoriously unreliable right-wing blog the Gateway Pundit published a post heavily implying the Shermans had been murdered due to their work with the Clinton Foundation.
Despite citing the Clintons in the headline, however, the only mention of the foundation came in the final two sentences, which said that Apotex had donated medicine to aid efforts in Haiti, Rwanda, and Puerto Rico through Clinton Foundation initiatives.
Gateway Pundit / Via thegatewaypundit.com
Although there had been blog posts and social media chatter about the latest alleged victims of the Clinton murder spree before then, the Gateway Pundit post gave the claim its widest exposure yet. The post has received tens of thousands of Facebook engagements since it was published on Jan. 21.
Jim Hoft, the editor of the site, did not directly respond to BuzzFeed News' questions about what evidence he had linking the Shermans' deaths to the Clintons.
"It's a horrible criminal act. My heart goes out to the family and loved ones," he said.
Hoft then referenced recent reports about the FBI investigation into Clinton's private email server.
"I should not have said those things about Hilllary [sic]," he said. "She has enough stress with the release of the FBI text messages this week that prove their investigation of her criminal actions was a sham. Maybe she will be held accountable for a few of her crimes after all? We will see."
The conspiracy theory about a Clinton connection to the deaths has now spread to numerous other right-wing blogs, websites, and social media accounts, some of which routinely promote conspiracy theories.
Next News Network / YouTube / Via youtube.com
Citing the Gateway Pundit, the Next News Network — a kind of low-rent InfoWars — claimed that "the Clinton body count increased by two" as a result of the Sherman deaths. A video featuring Next News Network founder Gary Franchi spreading the conspiracy theory has already racked up more than 12,000 views.
Other places have gone even further, with one blog post tying other conspiracy theories into the death of the Shermans. "This has to do with Pizzagate," claimed the writer, referencing the false claim that prominent Democratic politicians ran a child abuse ring out of the basement of a pizza restaurant.
One of hundreds of social media messages tying Barry and Honey Sherman's deaths to the Clinton Foundation.
Toronto police have said little about the investigation, and declined to comment for this article. But there is absolutely no evidence that the Shermans were ever in any disputes with the Clinton Foundation or with the organizations' namesakes.
The Sherman family has already pushed back against public speculation about the case. After some anonymous police sources suggested to reporters that the deaths were a case of murder-suicide, the family slammed the rumours as "simply absurd."
BuzzFeed News reached out to Apotex and the Sherman family's lawyer for comment.

Sunday Smith #7: .38 Regulation Police, 1928
The vz 52 rifle: Handy hybrid.
Sunday Smith #6: .44 Hand Ejector Second Model, 1921
During the days of Prohibition, lucrative profits to be made in the alcohol business led to increasing sophistication among the gangs who trafficked in it. Bullet-resistant body armor had made great strides in the trenches of France during the Great War, and was adopted by some gangsters. More significantly, the widespread availability of the automobile meant that the new criminals were fleeing crime scenes behind sheet metal auto bodies moving at 40, 50, or even an astounding 60 miles per hour. With longer ranges and harder targets becoming more common, law enforcement began to find that the .32 S&W Long, .38 S&W, and even the newer .38 Special were inadequate for their needs.
Smith & Wesson responded by developing a new .38 S&W Special round, loaded to much higher muzzle velocities. This gave a flatter trajectory at longer ranges as well as more punch against hard targets, and was referred to in marketing as the ".38 Super Police". It was soon apparent that this round would be detrimental to long service life in their .38 (or "K") frame revolvers, and so the large .44 (or "N") frame revolvers were adapted to shoot the smaller bore round. The new large-frame .38/44 revolvers were introduced to the market in 1930 and 1931, respectively, as the "Heavy Duty" (fixed sight) and "Outdoorsman" (adjustable sight) models, and these were a key stepping stone to the development of the .357 Magnum cartridge in 1935.
The revolver pictured above has led a colorful life. It was manufactured in 1936 as a fixed-sight ".38/44 Heavy Duty". At some time a "Mr. Middleton" purchased it and, after the war, sent it to Jim Clark in Louisiana to be transformed into a Bullseye gun. Adjustable sights from Micro were expertly fitted, the hammer spur was gas-welded up from a narrow projection into a wide and finely checkered pad that juts noticeably to the left for ease of thumb-cocking, and the trigger was tuned to a fare-thee-well. Lastly, the owner had his name etched in nicely-done cursive letters on the sideplate. After he passed away shortly after the millennium, his gun languished in a trade-in case at a gun shop before I found it, passed over by kids who didn't know what they were looking at.
Smith made just over 11,000 .38/44 Heavy Duties before WWII, and even an ugly one with issues will bring close to $200. For a really nice example, expect to pay $800 or more and (as with all pre-war Smiths,) if it's Like-New-In-Box with the tools and whatnot, the sky's the limit at an auction.

Realizing that not everyone would accept the .32 Regulation Police as a viable sidearm, Smith & Wesson released a parallel model at the same time. The small I-frame was able to accept a five shot cylinder chambered for the .38 S&W cartridge, originally introduced back in the 1870s in their top-break revolver line, and so a .38 Regulation Police only made sense. While the .38 S&W, which in its most common smokeless incarnation launched a 145 grain bullet at something just less than 700 feet per second, is not considered to be a serious defensive cartridge nowadays, at the time it was considered perfectly adequate, and was in fact adopted by Great Britain as their standard service handgun cartridge (albeit with a heavier bullet.)
The .38 Regulation Police was never Smith's strongest seller, with less than 55,000 copies sold between its introduction in 1917 and its first cancellation in 1940. While Smith did bring it back into production after the war and it was made as the "Model 33" as late as 1969, it's not the most common gun on the used gun market today. Still, like most I-frames, it is considerably cheaper than the larger-framed revolvers of the same vintage.
The blued example in the above photo, a good condition shooter with honest cosmetic wear and a dark bore with mild pitting, but good mechanicals and matching numbers, was made in 1928. It was picked up at a gun show in late 2003 for $190 and while it has appreciated a small amount since then, similar examples can be turned up for $200-ish still. A really outstanding prewar example might run over $400, possibly well over $400 if it has a matching box and all accoutrement.
When the new nation of Czechoslovakia was born after the end of WWI, they received two important gifts from the vanquished nations. From the Austro-Hungarian war machine came the Imperial arsenal at Brno, which became the new Czech State Arsenal in 1919. From the defeated Germans came the tooling and licenses to build Mauser rifles. Given something to build and a place to build it, the industrious Czechs wasted no time in setting up an arms industry that was competitive with any in the world. Of course, this prize asset made their much larger neighbor to the north eye them greedily, and the Czech arms industry was one of the plums with which the Germans walked away from the table at Munich.

Like most factories in occupied Europe, the Czech factories spent the first part of the war turning out arms for their German occupiers and the last part getting bombed flat by the Western Allies. Compared to the utter devastation in Germany, Italy, and Poland, however, the Czechs were in remarkably good shape after the war, and quickly set about re-equipping their army with modern weapons, including a brand new self-loading rifle: The vz 52 (vz being the abbreviation for "vzor"; Czech for "type" or "model".) The Czech arms industry had a tradition of quality and innovation, and the vz 52 was no exception. Designed using experiences gathered during WWII, it was a rifle that spanned two eras: Its full-length wood stock, intricately machined steel receiver, and semi-automatic operation wouldn't have been out of place in the 1930s, while its intermediate cartridge and detachable box magazine looked towards the future.
LEFT: Detail of receiver and magazine. Photo by Oleg Volk.
The trigger mechanism and safety are nearly identical to that of the American Garand, while the gas system utilizes a short-stroke annular piston derived from that of Germany's Walther self-loading rifles. The bolt is a tipping design, much like the contemporary Belgian and Russian autoloading rifles, but utilises lugs at the front of the bolt, rather than at the rear. Other features included a side-folding knife bayonet and unique double buttplates, with the outer one being a replaceable thin steel shell that protects the inner one from damage. The proprietary Czech cartridge, 7.62x45mm, is roughly the ballistic equivalent to the Soviet 7.62x39mm M43 round. The whole package makes for a handy little carbine, slightly smaller than the Russian SKS, and a fair bit handier in the bargain.
RIGHT: Side-folding knife bayonet. Photo by Oleg Volk.
Interestingly, the rifle was released as part of a whole suite of new infantry weapons in the early '50s by the Czechs, who hoped to get foreign currency in exchange. The weapons included an innovative pistol that used a roller-locking short recoil action to tame the potent 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, a general-purpose machine gun that was simply a belt-fed update of the proven Bren gun (another famous Czech design), and an innovative submachine gun featuring a bolt that telescoped around the breech and a magazine well integral with the pistol grip: both novel features that made for a compact weapon, and both features that would be cheerfully plagiarized by Uziel Gal when he "designed" his famous Uzi.
With this cornucopia of small-arms technical excellence poured at their feet, it is somehow unsurprising that the Soviets ignored it, and instead forced their own far cruder designs on the nascent Warsaw Pact. Meanwhile, most of the Czech weapons faded into undeserved obscurity, with sales slumping since both superpowers were essentially giving guns away to third-world nations who promised to be on their team. As a result, vz 52's have turned up in the oddest corners of the world, flotsam and jetsam of the global arms market; they've been encountered in the hands of terrorists in Lebanon and Cuban "advisors" in Grenada.
The CZ52 pistol is well-known to American shooters, having been imported in droves over the last five years or more. Its companion rifle is a little less recognizable, and many of those coming in recently have been barely shootable junkers. Most of the rifles have been painted with an ugly black substance bearing a remarkable resemblance to pickup truck bed liner, and these seem to run for $100 or maybe a little less, but a nice clean one could fall into the $200-$300 range. Loaded factory 7.62x45 ammunition for the vz 52 is scarce; the only source I could find online was Buffalo Arms. Unfortunately, their brass is known for splitting case necks, so for properly annealed, reloadable 7.62x45 brass, the source is Gewehr 98 of the blog Neural Misfires. His brass is correctly annealed and reports have casings lasting through ten reloadings or more.

Smith & Wesson followed up the release of the .32 Hand Ejector in 1896 with a larger-framed .38 Hand Ejector in 1899 and a diminutive .22 Hand Ejector in 1902. The top-break .44 Double Action Frontier, however, was forced to soldier on as the only big-bore entry in Smith's catalog until 1907, when it was joined by the .44 Hand Ejector, also known as the New Century. To go with the new gun, S&W created a new chambering: .44 Smith & Wesson Special, which was derived from the old .44 Russian cartridge, but featured a lengthened case to prevent it from being used in any older black powder top-breaks.
The new big bore Hand Ejector contained a couple of traits that distinguished it from its smaller siblings. The cylinder crane featured a third locking point, in addition to the one at the rear of the cylinder and at the front of the ejector rod, causing the guns to sometimes be referred to as "Triple Locks". The most visually distinctive feature was the shroud under the barrel that protected the ejector rod from damage. These revolvers were assembled and finished with great care, and are considered by some to be among the finest revolvers ever made by anyone.
Even in the good old days, however, Smith was never averse to a bit of cost cutting. When it was realized that both the third locking lug and the ejector rod shroud (the latter being an especially tricky and time consuming addition to the barrel machining process) could be abandoned without any real effect on the gun's performance, Smith did so, introducing the newer and more spartan version as the .44 Hand Ejector 2nd Model in 1915. The newer design remained in Smith's lineup until 1940, when it was dropped due to the demands of turning out wartime M&P's.
Standard barrel length on the .44 Hand Ejector 2nd Model was 6.5", although both 4" and 5" barrels could be had as well. The vast majority were chambered for .44 Special; out of over 17,000 manufactured, only about 1,300 were chambered in .44-40 or .45 Colt, and these will bring a substantial premium today. The guns were available in both blued and nickel finishes, and with fixed or target sights. Checked walnut stocks were standard, and most had a lanyard loop on the butt, a popular feature for a large holster gun in that time. Production was halted for 1918 and 1919 due to the war effort, and resumed towards the end of 1920.
The above example, a nickel 6.5" .44 Hand Ejector 2nd Model, sports period mother of pearl stocks, and the serial number indicates that it was the 472nd revolver built after Smith resumed production in 1920. Pre-WWII .44 Hand Ejector prices are high and climbing higher, but the 2nd Models are fairly affordable when compared to their Triple Lock predecessors. The pictured revolver, a tired shooter in fair-to-good condition with some timing issues that needed correcting, set me back some $325 in '06. A Triple Lock in similar shape would probably fetch at least five bills. If my .44 H.E. 2nd Model was in, say, 85-90% condition, you'd probably be looking at $900 or more in today's hothouse market, while equally nice Triple Locks regularly fetch $2,500 or more. As with most old Smith & Wessons, though, they are going nowhere but up in price because, much like real estate, they aren't making any more.


Continuing with the highly requested sunrise photos, this was taken last week by Nelson Caron, the Director of Golf Course Maintenance at Ford Plantation Golf Club in Richmond Hill, Georgia. This is golf hole #14. If you look close enough, I think you can see old Tom Morris walking the fairway. We remodeled the golf course in 2013. It was recognized as one of the best new courses by Golf Digest in 2014.

change my life and my husband's.
Where do you turn when youfeel your life is suddenly shut half down?
to your life as you become a caregiver.
a candidate for Alzheimer's. Hopefully this will help them.
Brian Kursonis, who has early-onset Alzheimer's, is a star of the "Go Boldly" campaign meant to burnish pharma's image. But he may soon be homeless.
Neuroscientist Joseph Jebelli's new book about the fight against Alzheimer's draws on his own personal passions; his grandfather developed the disease and eventually stopped recognizing his grandson.
© 2012 by Winifred E. Johnson. All rights reserved.
encouraged me to put my thoughts in print.
There probably is not one senior who thinks of Alzheimer's and wonders if it will strike him or her. They see friends succumb to the ravaging disease, and frankly, it frightens them. I am one of those seniors.
My husband, Bob, was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia, I asked the doctor what was the difference between this Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia. Nothing, the result is the same . he said. However there will be highs and lows in the durations of this disease .
The next step I took was to look up everything I could about Alzheimer's, to find out what it was all about. Here are some feelings about Alzheimer's: It is death by a thousand subtractions, it is the long good-bye, like a slow deepening fog, it robs by degrees the person we love. (Nancy Reagon) Five million people have it and it lasts about eight years or less.
Bob, my husband, was known to have this disease for the last six years of his life. However, I was concerned about this disease for quite a few years before that. I learned about long term memory, that lasts forever. Short term memory takes about a month to form a long term memory. With Alzheimer's early on you lose your ability to form any new memories. I sure found that this is true. With this disease you start to lose one after another of your systems. The first to go is the memory, the thinking part of the brain. Along with this is confusion about everything, poor judgment and personality changes. Next you lose muscle control, for walking and standing, bladder control and eventually all body functions. Then on to regulatory functions eating and breathing.
People have asked me when I first noticed that anything was wrong. That is a hard one to answer because as Carl Sandburg said in a poem The fog comes on little cat feet . Gradually everything in your life changes. It is really later on that you can go back, especially if you have a journal (which I have) and see what was going on related to dementia and how it has effected your loved ones life and your own.
My husband Bob was an intellectual. He had a Doctorate degree in Education and also was an ordained minister. He was pastor of a little church in Hainesport New Jersey for several years. Then established, and was the administrator, at Maranatha Children's Home in Fairbanks, Alaska. Both of us worked together to serve the Alaskan Indian and Eskimo children We were there as missionaries under the Conservative Baptist Home Mission Society. We left there after serving for twelve years. It was hard to leave.
We moved to Bellingham, Washington where Bob attended Washington State College. He received his BS in education there. We moved to Silverdale, Washington where he taught junior high students.
After two years our Conservative Baptist Home Mission Society called us back to the mission field in Cottonwood, Arizona. Here Bob became the administrator at the Navaho Bible School. Again we worked together teaching the Navaho people the Bible. It was while living there that he worked on his Doctorate in Education. We were there for four years. During the four years I got my BA in education.

As Attica burns — and the minds of everyone are with the dead, the injured and the displaced — one wonders if the arsonists (it's arson, as everyone knows, because half the country doesn't burn by accident, especially forest areas near urban areas, which, with all the trees now gone, will be converted to urban lots for development — see how it works? — the motive? — it's that simple and sick) so one wonders if the arsonists behind these wildfires, when arrested, will be convicted of mass murder, mass destruction, and crimes of all calibers, the punishment for which should be excruciating.


Hot Buttered Rum, the drink, like a cake, starts with a batter!
Originally a get-well drink for sea-battered sailors, Hot Buttered Rum over the years has become a sociable beverage for skiers, skaters, hikers, ice fishermen, sleigh riders and any group looking for fun on a cold winter's day or night.
There is no hard, set recipe for Hot Buttered Rum except it contains at least a goodly amount of rum, melted butter and fragrant spices. Adjustments vary in sweetness, spiciness and creaminess.
The hot toddy cocktails we know and love today have their roots in the old days, when druggists might have prescribed them for relief against the aches and pains the bitterly-cold winters brought. Butter has been used in hot drinks since the days of Henry VIII. After molasses began being imported to Colonial America from Jamaica, and distilleries opened in New England in the 1650s, colonists began adding distilled rum to hot recreational beverages such as toddies and nogs. Here is a Hot Buttered Rum recipe borrowed from Wayne Curtis, author of "And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in 10 Cocktails" (Broadway Books, 2007).
To make the batter, in a bowl, combine the butter, sugars and spices and mix thoroughly. Stir in the ice cream and mix until thoroughly combined. Transfer the batter to a container with a tight-fitting lid and store in the freezer.
To make the hot buttered rum, pour the rum into a mug and add the batter. Fill with boiling water and stir. Garnish with the cinnamon stick or star anise.
Enjoy Hot Buttered Rum your way!


The UAE 'Olympics for startups' will be held at in5 on October 11, where a UAE national champion will be chosen.
Juan Jose De La Torre, VP of Digital at Intigral and founder of Afkar.me.
Afkar.me and in5 announced today that they will be co-hosting the UAE edition of 'Get in the Ring', part of the Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship (ECE) competition. The UAE 'Olympics for startups' will be held at in5 on October 11th, where a UAE national champion will be chosen.
The UAE champion will battle against other promising startups and its entrepreneur from across the region in the regional final in Riyadh, ultimately winning the opportunity to pitch for an investment of up to €1,000,000 in the global final in Rotterdam.
Afkar.me, the region's first full spectrum digital oriented product incubator run by Intigral, and in5, a Dubai-based innovation hub which supports start-up ICT and digital media entrepreneurs, are hosting the 'Get in the Ring' competition as part of their commitment to support the growth of MENA's startup ecosystem and promoting Dubai as the region's start-up hub.
"We have seen that it can be difficult for successful startups in the Middle East to gain access to international angel investment. By partnering with in5 and bringing this highly-acclaimed worldwide startup platform to the UAE, we are giving a home grown startup the opportunity to compete on the global stage," said Juan Jose De La Torre, VP of Digital at Intigral and founder of Afkar.me.
Competition rules state that the companies eligible to take part must be less than five years old, leaving applications open for those businesses which may already be on the path to success, but believe they can play a more significant role in their own market or sector.


⚡ Learn about the possible medical uses of psychedelics like LSD, psilocybin and Ayahuasca.
Although I hadn't listened to a Tim Ferriss podcast for a while, I had no doubt that this one would be on point — I've read some of Michael Pollan's books on food and he really does his research.
Michael Pollan has recently released a new book on psychedelics — LSD, psilocybin, Ayahuasca and 5-MeO-DMT — and the gist of the podcast is that the current research on their medical use is really, really interesting. Early trials have shown great results in treating anxiety, depression and addiction — further trials are on the way. Pollan talks in detail about the trials and about his own thoughts and experience (yes, he tripped as part of his research).

Google loses landmark privacy case
Written by News 1st

People have the "right to be forgotten" and search engines like Google must remove certain unwanted links, Europe's top court decided in a surprise ruling Tuesday.
The case, which spotlighted the clash between privacy and freedom of information advocates, centered on a Spanish man's efforts to remove historic links to his debt problems.
In its decision, the European Court of Justice found operators of search engines such as Google were the "controller" of information. They were therefore responsible for removing unwanted links if requested.
"An Internet search engine operator is responsible for the processing that it carries out of personal data which appear on web pages published by third parties," the judges said in a statement about the ruling.
A Google spokesman, in an email to CNN, said the ruling was "disappointing," and that the company needed time to "analyze the implications." Google had previously argued it was only hosting the data and said it was up to the individual websites to remove the data.
The decision came as a surprise to the industry and legal experts, as it ran contrary to the court's Advocate General opinion, whose guidance is usually followed.
"For Google, this result creates a headache — and potentially huge costs," University of East Anglia Law School lecturer Paul Bernal said. "The ruling looks like a strong decision in favor of privacy and individual rights — and against the business models of search engines, and certain aspects of freedom of speech."

Jamiri Photography - Welcome to my Photography Portfolio!
Welcome to my Photography Portfolio!
Hello and welcome to the photography portfolio and blog of Jamiri Photography! Photography has always been a passion of mine and after a few years away from using the camera, I have picked it up once again to focus on my favourite areas of photography – portraits.
I first got into photography as a teenager when my dad gave me my first digital compact camera. It was tiny enough to fit in the palm of your hand. A square, bright blue camera with only a shutter button, a simple zoom and viewfinder – no adjustment settings and it saved images as bitmaps! I still have copies of some of these early photos which I will share in a later post but it was this tiny camera which sparked my love of photography. I spent a lot of time taking photos of family and our pets before graduating onto better cameras and other subjects.
My interest in landscapes began on my first trip abroad in 2006 to our family's homeland: Cyprus. I had so much fun taking photos in such an inspiring place that I decided to study photography at college the following year. I spent two years studying photography at A Level and enjoyed it so much which really shone through in my work. At college I was placed in the top ten nationally two years running for my photography work and awarded the Dr Lettis Bequest for my Work in Art.
After college I went to university and for the first six months we were on rotation across three different disciplines: Graphic Design, Design for Publishing and Photography. When the time came to decide on one subject to focus on for the next three years, I very nearly chose photography but the courses emphasis on studio photography was the deciding factor for me. I love taking photos outside as opposed to in the studio so I opted to study Design for Publishing instead. It was an extremely useful experience and gave me a lot of in depth design skills and knowledge that I use across all aspects of my design and photography work even now but studying for a BA and MA meant that I had very little time to pick up the camera.
I've missed photography a lot since then and always hoped I could get back into it but my studies and then my work as a freelance graphic designer from 2012 onwards meant that I never got the chance. However, in early 2015 I got my third Sheltie puppy and decided now was the time to pick up the camera again to document the growth of this little bundle of fluff! Her name is Mia and not only is she very photogenic but she can be a bit of a show off too so there are plenty of photo opportunities when out walking with her and my other dog Carly!
With my love of photography well and truly reignited I thought it was time to set up my own photography portfolio. My main focuses are weddings, portraiture, pet portraiture, commercial as well as my landscape and nature photography. As well as being available for commissions and photoshoots, I intend to set up a section eventually where you will be able to buy prints of my work as well as calendars and other merchandise so watch this space!


Now that you've got your backyard garden planned, the next thing you'll definitely want to take up is canning. Canning food is a great way of preserving fresh food to last year round (or even many years). Once you get the basics down, it's fairly simple. It's a great way to eat sustainably even when fresh food isn't in season.
The most popular way to can food is the hot water bath method. Basically, you put your cooked food into a jar (making sure it's hot!) and the place the jar in a big pot of boiling water for a specified time. You'll need to make sure the recipe for canning keeps the food at a high acidity and that the jar is fully submerged so there's an inch of water covering the lid.
I've been canning for a few years but mistakes still happen from time to time. Last year I lost a bunch of canned tomatoes because I tried to cut down on the processing time. I learned then that canning isn't something you can cheat! Make sure you follow to processing times to ensure that your food is properly preserved. My friend pointed me towards this amazing document from the USDA that lists the times for boiling. I'm going to start following that from now on.
If you know someone who does canning, ask to sit in the next time they are processing some food. Learning from friends and family is always a great, inexpensive way to learn new skills!
If you're looking for some more resources, here are some online courses that would be a great start.

Q: ClearCase MVFS compiler randomly not reading include files I have used ClearCase for 20 years and this is the a crazy problem.
I have encountered it with another compiler 8 years ago but this time I have no work-around.
FileA includes HeaderX and HeaderY but the precompiler never reads HeaderY which has nothing to do with HeaderX
(take HeaderX out of the equation or make relatively arbitrary changes to HeaderX and HeaderY is read)
Randomly, we are seeing the old powerpc-wrs-vxworks gcc-2.96 compiler not include files during precompilation.
This only happens in a particular vob and only happens in dynamic views and occurs randomly.
We believe that this is specific to this particular VOB and believe that there is something wrong with the VOB.
We have experienced the problem with Win7 ClearCase version 7.1.2.1, but also with WinXP.
Over the years, we have noticed a similar problem with this VOB with another compiler.
When we traced the compiler, we see that it opens and fstat's the include file and then closes without a read.
Normally, the compiler will perform a read after the open. The trace shows the fstat returning a valid size.
Below is the simplest distillation of the problem but do not be lured into thinking it is something about the
contents of the file for an explanation of the behavior - you can make arbitrary changes to the files to elicit
the correct behavior. Specifically, you can use identical files moved to a different location in the same view or outside
the view and the compiler will behave correctly or use a different view with the same files and it will work.
We believe, some interaction with MVFS, specific to this VOB, and the compiler is the problem.
Has anyone seen a state that a malfunctioning VOB could get into that may exhibit this misbehavior randomly in views?
foo.c:
#include "HeaderX.h"          /* fix 1 remove this line
                                 fix 2 rename this include file
                                 fix 3 move this include file to a new dir */
#include "HeaderY.h"          /* fix 4 move this line up
                                 fix 5 rename this include file
                                 fix 6 move this include file to a new dir */

HeaderX.h:
/* a=b;                          fix  7 uncomment this line */
#ifndef X                     /* fix  8 change this to an #ifdef instead of #ifndif */
#define X                     /* fix  9 remove this line
                                 fix 10 change just this X to Y
                                 fix 11 move define after endif */
#endif

HeaderY.h:
#error hurrah! I was included /* GOAL -- to have this file included
                                         If it is included the precompiler
                                         will print this message.
                              */

P.S Don't tell me it is a compiler bug.
Reasons to believe it is a ClearCase issue:

*

*Only happens in dynamic views

*Happens on multiple machines, multiple users, multiple views, different operating systems. But it is somewhat random.

Reasons to doubt my reasons:

*

*Fixes 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

*In cases where it fails, using a different version of the compiler will not cause the error.

*But I think questioning the compiler is a red herring, the same compiler with the same set of files will work fine outside of ClearCase or in a different directory in the same view. The VOB is about 15 years old and I think it is peculiar to the VOB. But it is a huge effort to replace it.

A: Without replacing the Vob, is it possible to export a subset of that Vob representing the sources of that specific project in a brand new Vob?
A simple clearfsimport would create a fresh history, while the original Vob would still be used for:

*

*history consultation for those files exported in the new Vob

*everything else as usual for all the other files not exported in the new Vob.

I have see a few case of Vob corruption, and that option was the easiest workaround.
