Ein Verknüpfungspunkt ist ein Knotenpunkt im Verkehrsnetz, an dem ein Übergang zwischen Fahrzeugen eines Verkehrssystems oder zweier verschiedener Verkehrssysteme erfolgt. So handelt es sich beispielsweise bei einem Flughafen um einen (systemübergreifenden) Verknüpfungspunkt, da hier ein Umsteigen zwischen Pkw und Flugzeug möglich ist.

Zielsetzung der Verkehrsplanung ist es, Verknüpfungspunkte so zu gestalten, dass eine optimale Integration des Gesamtverkehrssystems mit möglichst geringen Widerständen (in der Regel geringe Umsteigezeiten und kurze Umsteigewege) für Benutzer und Betreiber entsteht.

Unterscheidung
Es wird zwischen folgenden Verknüpfungspunkten unterschieden:
 systeminternen Verknüpfungspunkten (beispielsweise Mitfahrerparkplätze)
 systemübergreifenden Verknüpfungspunkten (beispielsweise Bahnhöfe mit P+R-Parkplatz)
 Bushaltestellen werden in der Fachsprache auch als ÖV-Verknüpfungspunkte bezeichnet

About Rachel Harris:
Being an ob/gyn was a natural fit for Dr. Harris. Her first medical school rotation was surgery, followed by ob/gyn. "I didn't think I'd like surgery, but I found that I really enjoyed it," she says. "And ob/gyn was even better because I loved working in a clinic and getting to know patients personally. It's the perfect blend of primary care and surgery."
Get to Know Dr. Harris
What Dr. Rachel Harris loved about volleyball, the sport she played in college, is what she loves about Southdale ObGyn today. "I loved how coordinated the sport is … the energy of the game … but most of all, I loved the teamwork," she says. "I wanted to work at a family- and team-oriented group, and here the focus is on working together to take care of the patients. At Southdale Ob/Gyn, every single clinic employee is vital to ensuring that the patient has a good experience."
Dr. Harris's decision to become a physician came from her love of science, and also from her aunt, Dr. Garnet Harris, a family practice physician whom she shadowed for a few weeks during college. "She's very passionate about her career, but what influenced me the most was how she respects her patients — and how much they trust her."
Dr. Harris describes herself as empathetic and energetic, driven and down-to-earth. "I'm good at listening to what's going on with my patients, and I respect that they have an integral role in their health care," she says.
In addition to her aunt, she says she's had many female role models, from varied walks of life, but all of whom share one trait: "They've found a way to show up with a positive attitude and to be of service to people," she says. "And that approach to life is really important to me — to not focus on yourself all of the time."
In her spare time, Dr. Harris likes to read, run, and try new things—from dance lessons (West Coast Swing) to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. She also enjoys spending time with her husband Steve, son Milo and is very excited for baby #2, coming in January 2017. "It's part of having balance in life and being a whole person, so when I show up at work I can be there 100 percent," she says.
"I feel so fortunate to have women come to me for their care. It really is an honor in my life. I'm so grateful that this is my job!"

Award winning Afro Pop artist Sjava sits with the world renowned radio host Ebro on Ebro Beat1 with Apple Music to over 100 countries.
The exciting interview on Apple Music is split into three parts. Ebro profiled his debut album "Isina Muva" and the major success behind it, the meaning behind the title, how Sjava got to be featured on the Black Panther Soundtrack. And how American sounds, melodies and drums are originally inspired by African sounds in its similar nature.
The two pioneers in their own right also shared thoughts on how the culture itself has grown in the past three generations and how the world can come together.

Chapter 3 : Scale, Gauge & Standards
You'll hear model railroaders utter the terms "scale and gauge" in one breath. This may leave you breathless, totally confused. Now here's your chance to separate the scale from the gauge -- once and for all!
So now that you know why so many people have fallen in love with this hobby, you're interested in knowing a bit more. What? You said you're intimidated by it all, just because of two basic words: scale and gauge.
Ha! There's absolutely no reason for you not to understand these. These terms appear more intimidating than they really are. So, let's tackle them one at a time, so you can see exactly what they mean -- and how you they can become a part of your new language.
So you've already walked into your local hobby shop asking about model trains. And I can hear the conversation now. They asked you all sorts of questions about what types of model trains you wanted to start with, like HO or maybe N or perhaps O, or then you might find S better suited to your tastes.
And you walked out, empty handed, feeling not only disappointed, but like you just ate of bowl of alphabet soup? I only know this because it happened to me my first time in a hobby shop. And I left frustrated. But I also left determined to figure out what those clerks were talking about.
So, before you make your next trip to the same shop, brush up with this chapter. I guarantee you, you'll not only know more about the questions they're asking, but you'll also be in the position to ask some questions of your own.
What is scale ?
Once you get into this hobby (and I assure you that you will!) you'll hear a lot of people bandy about the term scale. Scale is, in a nutshell, is the ratio of the model train to the life-size or "prototype" train.
Scale actually means exactly what the name implies. That the model you're running or building is a "scaled down" replica of the life-size version. The different letters assigned to the scales just reflect the natural differences in ratios.
Gauge, though sometimes spoken in the same breath as scale, is slightly different. It actually measures the width of the tracks on which your train runs.
Let's stop here for just a moment to consider the importance of gauge, especially. The success of the hobby lies in part because the manufacturers of these trains are precise enough with their processes to ensure that the trains the actually fit on the track. This wouldn't be so difficult if there were just a single maker of tracks and trains. Then you'd know for certain everything fit well together. But thankfully we have lots of choices. And it only benefits our hobby!
Imagine this scenario if the makers of different makers used all sorts of various sizes of gauges. You bring home a new locomotive to put on your track. And it doesn't fit.
When you talk track, it has to be absolutely accurate, even just a little off -- you may not be able to even see it at a glance -- for the train to be misaligned with the track.
The easiest way to explain them is to just tackle different train sizes and speak of both scale and gauge at the same time. But keep in mind that they really are two quite different aspects of the hobby.
Large-scale trains
This is the term the modelers used to describe, surprisingly enough, the larger selections. These models come not in just one scale but several. They all, however, operate on what's called Gauge 1 track. This track has 45 mm between either rail.
In fact, if you walk into a hobby store today, you'd probably discover at least five different scales all literally clumped together in this larger scale size.
Many of these trains are used by those aficionados who run their systems outdoors in their backyards. The locomotives chugged along carrying their cars through large flower and herb gardens.
So just how large are these trains? Well, imagine the size of a large 50-foot-long locomotive. The model of this, in a 1:29 scale (1 inch represents 29 feet) would be approximately 20 ¾ inches!
The most popular gauge is the "O" as it's called among hobbyists. The gauge for "O" is 1 ¼ inches; the scale is 1:48. That same 50-foot-locomotive in this model, is about 12 ½ inches long.
Just a bit smaller than "O" is the S-gauge train models. This category runs on tracks with a gauge of 7/8 inches and a scale of 1:64. Our prototype 50-foot locomotive is only 9 3/8 inches long in this scale.
Small but mighty . . . popular that is!
Yes, these are the largest of the trains. So, just how small are the small ones you may be wondering. I'm glad you asked. Let's find out just how small these trains can get!
There's the HO gauge. HO literally stands for "half of O". This class of trains is built to be exactly one half the size of "O" gauge models. When compared to the full-size trains, the HO has a scale of 1:87. Now, that makes our 50-foot life-size prototype 7 inches in this scale.
On first impression, you make think that this is extremely small. But, the HO train models are an ideal size to allow a satisfying layout in a smaller space. But, at the same time, these cars are large enough to display detail. And they really aren't too small to work with.
It's no wonder that HO is the most popular of all model railroad scales. More than two-thirds of modelers rank it as their favorite size!
But we go even smaller than that when we view the "N" scale. This model, with a ratio of 1:160, has a gauge of 9 mm between the rails. It's preferred by those who don't have the room they'd like for their layout. Those individuals who love expansive scenery also appreciate this gauge.
Now, we get to "Z" scale trains. Yes, they are even smaller than the others. Their scale to the prototype locomotive is 1:220. Yes. Imagine that. This size means that our 50-foot locomotive is only 2 ¾ inches long in the "Z" scale. The space between this model's scale is 6.5 mm.
Now for the lesser known scales . . .
When you're first starting out, it's doubtful that you're likely to choose the scale popularly known as "TT". Called the "scratch builders' scale," the ratio is 1:10, modelers must build from "scratch" just about all of their pieces (as we go along, you'll see the term "scratch builders" frequently.)
While not extremely popular here, the TT scale gained a wide following in Europe and Australia where it's readily available. Today, some of these kits are being imported into the United States for the die-hard -- if small -- following.
Don't be surprised to see, as you spend more time in this hobby a revival of this scale. Cottage industries are cropping up specialized in manufacturing this size. New processing methods are available today that weren't available even a decade ago to make this possible.
Resin casting, for example, is now cheap enough that help to make this within the reach of many. If you have an extra $50 and just a little imagination you, too, can create your own line of TT scale model trains. Brass etching -- another needed process -- can be easily performed in the small, home workshop.
Standards for the Hobby
Yes! Yes! I see you're just shaking your head. And I can just about read your mind: How in the world can all the manufacturers keep all these scales and gauges straight. And who in the world actually keeps track of this -- if anyone?
Ahh! I'm so glad you're asking these questions, because that brings us nicely to our next topic: standards. Yes, this is one hobby in which standards are vitally important.
A standard, as defined by the railroaders, is a figure, relationship or a dimension that is absolutely mandatory. These relationships and dimensions must be adhered to if you're to call what you're producing a specific scale.
Standards may be changed, but only by the vote of the group in charge of the rules.
If some standards weren't put in place you can easily see how the entire avocation could fall apart -- quickly. That was exactly the problem in the early days of model railroading -- the 1930s.
No standards existed then. You could buy two different brands of models thinking they would work together because well . . .they were the same size. You'd bring them home only to find that one brand didn't fit on the other's tracks. Now that's a bummer.
In many cases, modelers would independently build to their own private standards or from their own ideas and their own designs. When this happened it became nearly impossible to go to any type of model railroad show. It was nearly impossible to interchange trains on tracks.
Order from railroad chaos
In 1935, model railroaders, manufacturers as well as publishers came together to discuss the (woeful) state of affairs in the hobby. Everyone in attendance agreed the hobby would fall apart if something weren't done to organize it in some way.
The creation of the National Model Railroaders Association and its standards came from this initial summit. These standards insured that equipment could be used from one model railroad brand to another. It also made the movement of cars and locomotives of varying brands interchangeable as well.
Surprisingly many of these ideas have held up quite well for more than 70 years. Today, many of the concepts are virtually unchanged from their original conception. Oh sure, the NMRA have elaborated on some of them, refined others and even added several more along the way. But the fundamentals are much the same when they were adopted in 1936 following that initial meeting.
And through the perspective of history, these standards are in large part the reason the hobby is as popular as it is today.
Then what is a recommended practice?
In addition to standards, you'll also run into a phrase call recommended practices -- normally abbreviated as RP. These are the figures, relationships and dimensions that the engineering committee of the NMRA has developed by way of testing.
Recommended practices are not mandatory as the standards are. They are not voted on by the membership either. But they are presented to the Board of Trustees of the NMRA for their study and approval.
As the name implies, it's recommended that all modelers follow these practices, but it certainly is not written in stone, as it were.
Now that we've cleared up some of the confusion about scale and gauge as well as shown you one of the reasons why the hobby has grown over the last 70 years -- and still flourishes today -- let's investigate what it's really all about -- the trains, the tracks, the layout and scenery.

Japanese: written with characters meaning 'strait' and 'door'. The name is probably connected with the Seto Naikai, called the 'Inland Sea' in English. The name is found mostly in the island of Kyushu, which bounds the Inland Sea on the west. Chinese : variant of Situ.
Where is the Seto family from?
You can see how Seto families moved over time by selecting different census years. The Seto family name was found in the USA, the UK, and Canada between 1880 and 1920. The most Seto families were found in the USA in 1920. In 1891 there was 1 Seto family living in Glamorgan. This was 100% of all the recorded Seto's in the UK. Glamorgan had the highest population of Seto families in 1891.
Use census records and voter lists to see where families with the Seto surname lived. Within census records, you can often find information like name of household members, ages, birthplaces, residences, and occupations.
What did your Seto ancestors do for a living?
In 1880, Farmer and Keeping House were the top 2 reported jobs worked by Seto. A less common occupation for the Seto family was Laborer. The most common Seto occupation in the USA was Farmer. 33% of Seto's were Farmers.
Census records can tell you a lot of little known facts about your Seto ancestors, such as occupation. Occupation can tell you about your ancestor's social and economic status.
What Seto family records will you find?
There are 3,000 census records available for the last name Seto. Like a window into their day-to-day life, Seto census records can tell you where and how your ancestors worked, their level of education, veteran status, and more.
There are 642 immigration records available for the last name Seto. Passenger lists are your ticket to knowing when your ancestors arrived in the UK, and how they made the journey - from the ship name to ports of arrival and departure.
There are 1,000 military records available for the last name Seto. For the veterans among your Seto ancestors, military collections provide insights into where and when they served, and even physical descriptions.
You've only scratched the surface of Seto family history.
What is the average Seto lifespan?
Between 1962 and 2004, in the United States, Seto life expectancy was at its lowest point in 1967, and highest in 1989. The average life expectancy for Seto in 1962 was 85, and 76 in 2004.
An unusually short lifespan might indicate that your Seto ancestors lived in harsh conditions. A short lifespan might also indicate health problems that were once prevalent in your family. The SSDI is a searchable database of more than 70 million names. You can find birthdates, death dates, addresses and more.


"Insight for the Young and Unrestrained" is an original column appearing every Thursday at Everything-Voluntary.com, by Gregory V. Diehl. Gregory is a writer, musician, educator, and coach for young people at EnabledYouth.com. Archived columns can be found here. IYU-only RSS feed available here.
Youth is the time in our lives we are allotted to figure out how the world around us works. During those important first decades of life, we move from a purely instinctual response-based existence to memorizing the rules of the culture around us and ingraining the physical tasks necessary for survival into our bodies. Upon reaching adulthood, we spend the rest of our lives acting on this information and making a life for ourselves.
The downside to having a firm position on how things work and the practices we grew up with is that it automatically makes the other views and practices we encounter difficult to integrate. This is part of why children are so good at learning things. They have little else to get in the way of adopting new ideas. Instead of comparing the new with the old and letting them compete for mental real estate, they simply take it all in with novelty and excitement. The sooner this process ceases in us, the sooner we start to see the symptoms of being "old." It's like the mind has an automatic shut-off sequence that activates whenever we convince ourselves that we already know enough to get by.
When we find new ways to challenge ourselves, we circumvent this process of debilitation. Constantly introducing new technologies (which force us to think in new ways) or living in foreign cultures (which force us to interact with others in new ways) remind the mind of how little it really knows. Aside from keeping us humble, it retains that childlike state of growth and wonder that are natural in early life. It makes a state of wonder a daily living reality.
It's widely recommended that as people get older they take up new hobbies that challenge the mind. Crossword puzzles, golfing, or even just taking a different route home from work are said to invigorate the mind and keep it fresh. These tactics may offer little boosts of vitality to a solidifying personality, but they hardly scratch the surface of the malleability of the human mind. What if you lived your life in such a way that every birthday you celebrated brought an almost entirely new identity for you from the year prior? Not only would your mind never solidify, but you would really start to see the cumulative capacity of learning as these new identities stacked upon each other over time.
The mark of a leader is in how well he understands this and applies it to himself. Average people spend their time and resources maintaining their possessions and finding new distractions. Exceptional people invest their lives in growing and pushing every boundary they encounter. When an obstacle arises along the path to their goal, they resolve to learn the tools necessary to bypass or defeat it. The moment you start to accept that your identity has been set for you is the moment you surrender to entropy.
The remarkable thing about learning is how new skills stick with us, even after being buried many layers in our subconscious. When you encounter something difficult for the first time, you have the choice to simply accept that you don't know how to deal with it (and avoid it entirely or hire someone else to handle it for you), or can choose to attempt it anyway. Even a child with almost no frame of reference for how the world works has the amazing ability to utilize endless trial and error to slowly adapt and embrace the mechanics of how new things work. Adults can do this too; they just generally lack the patience and curiosity that children naturally have. They see novelty as annoying, whereas a child will see it as exciting.
Whenever you encounter something difficult, keep doing it until it isn't difficult anymore.
Now, obviously, if this were applied on an absolute scale, you would quickly run out of time in the day. But if you are discerning and can apply it with priority to the major obstacles that continually show up in your life, you may be pleasantly surprised by how your life changes in a short time. Not only will you move more smoothly from one goal to the next (and reach bigger goals than you previously thought possible), but your mind will grow increasingly sharper. The skills you presently gain in every passing day can stack with incredible capacity atop the skills you learned in earlier days, and with little effort you'll find you can recall and put to use any number of abilities.
Generations ago, it seemed an economic necessity that most people specialize heavily in one particular area of knowledge or ability. This has made many men and women oblivious to the world outside their skill set. They even have built entire identities around what they get paid to do. While in most circumstances it may still be economically sensible to hire someone with certain specialties to handle problems outside our field of knowledge, it certainly isn't the only option available anymore.
Think of learning in terms of opportunity cost. If you find a leak under your sink, it might be easiest just to hire a plumber to come fix it for $100. Or, through the power of search engines and the malleability of the human mind, you might acquire all the information you need to fix the leak yourself after 5 measly hours of time investment into research and experimentation. Essentially, your time value for fixing it yourself was $20/hour. If you are accustomed to making much more than this for the "work" you usually devote your time to, this might not seem like a worthwhile trade.
However, since knowledge is cumulative, you are actually gaining a lot more in the long run. When you call the plumber, you are paying for a one-time fix. When you invest the hours into learning it yourself, you are getting a lifetime of leak-free sinks in return. If you could learn the basics of every skill set you are likely to require throughout your life (and still make time to thoroughly specialize in at least a few) you will be well equipped to face most challenges in life, and your mind will be functioning at a level far beyond those who strictly specialize. Even the world's most competent brain surgeon or rocket scientist may be utterly useless in most other areas. He may be the one you want to depend on if your goal is to remove a tumor or get to the moon, but what sort of man can he be if these are the only thoughts which occupy his mind?
Unfortunately, the world by and large still thinks the only merit in learning anything comes from one's ability to get paid for it and turn it into a full-time profession. The innovation of currency, for all the blessings it has bestowed upon us, has made it far too easy to over-simplify the process of valuation for anything either concrete or abstract. Assigning an objective numerical value to anything immediately hides all the subtlety and potential it really holds. This is a terrible way to view the world, and a terrible way to treat education.
If you are economically comfortable, start looking at your actions in terms of the overall benefit they provide to your life and mind. The more you grow, the healthier your mind will remain, and the closer you get to achieving perpetual youth. Just as the body is designed for constant motion, and just as a sedentary life quickly leads to disease and disorder, an unmoving mind soon withers. Since constant challenge is a necessary part of the human experience, you might as well learn to enjoy it. Embracing a constantly shifting identity can be scary, and the world will certainly distance itself from you for it initially, but the long-term rewards are unmatched by anything else in life.


Our current practice is that if you forget to count one day of the omer (morning and night), it is still incumbent upon you to count, but you can't say a bracha.
As far as I understand, the reason for this is that there is a makhlokhet about what the mitzvah is. One opinion holds that counting each day is a mitzvah (so there are 49 mitzvot in the sefirah), while the other opinion holds that there is one mitzvah to count the whole sefirah.
Then Rav Soleveitchik comes along and says that the reason for not making a bracha on the omer if you forget a day is that counting, per se, must be sequential. Otherwise, you're just saying a number. I like this answer a lot.
But before Soleveitchik, how did we justify not making a bracha without shem u'malkhut ("atah hashem elokeinu melekh ha'olam") as we do for most disputed mitzvot?
We are saying that since according to one opinion you are still obligated to say the Beracha properly it follows that you should hear the Beracha from the Chazzan (or someone else) so that it will be a fully valid Beracha (שומע כעונה) without even a doubt of a ברכה לבטלה.
To say the Beracha without Shem Umalchus is not an option if you could hear it from someone else (and perhaps one should go out of his way to do this correctly).
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged halacha blessing sefirat-ha-omer machlokes .
Can you say "Lag Baomer" before counting Sefirah?
Is there an obligation to Count the Omer without a Bracha?
We do not bring the omer offering, so why do we still count?

PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES 6CD box reviewed by THE CHANCELLOR!
PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES
THE ALBUMS 1982-87
(6CD)
There are many reasons why I love Peter And The Test Tube Babies. One of those reasons is the fact that main men Peter Bywaters (vocals) and guitarist Del Strangefish (guitar) seem to be playing in two completely different bands… and the results have always been inspiring and outstanding! Peter is a straightforward, in-your-face street punk with a wicked sense of humor while Del plays as if the Test Tube Babies are an anthemic Post-Punk band like Skids or Magazine. It is a strange and thoroughly wonderful mix of styles that shouldn't work yet it does… and it has for 40 years! Del's siren-like guitar riffs lift these songs off the ground while Peter steers them in different directions like a rogue helicopter pilot. You can experience the magic yourself with Captain Oi/Cherry Red Records' excellent six CD box set THE ALBUMS: 1982-87.
Forming in 1978 and appearing on the VAULTAGE 78 compilation, the band continued to release songs on various Oi compilations. While these early tracks laid the foundation for the band's legendary Punk status, Peter and the Tubers were still finding their voice. Oddly enough, their 1982 debut album – PISSED AND PROUD - was a live release and includes powerful versions of songs from the EP "Banned From The Pubs" and single "Run Like Hell." Inching closer to their signature sound, this live album is a fine introduction to the band but their signature sound would blossom on their studio releases.
THE MATING SOUNDS OF SOUTH AMERICAN FROGS (1983) was an album that introduced the band's unique approach to Punk Rock. Like an unlikely mix of The Adicts' SOUND OF MUSIC, The Clash's GIVE 'EM ENOUGH ROPE, and 999's SEPARATES plus a few UK Subs b-sides, MATING SOUNDS… was – and is – something unique and exciting. The Punk bluster of "One Night Stand" is broken mid-song by a gentle acoustic bit before kicking back into high gear. "Guest List," "Let's Burn," "The Jinx," "Never Made It" and other tracks are shouty Oi Punk songs with some of the catchiest guitar riffs you're likely to hear on any album from this era. "Blown Out Again" is as delicious as it is malicious. The funky horn-laden "Pissed Punks (Go For It)" takes a swipe at Wham and other Top 40 Pop chartbusters. MATING SOUNDS… is nearly 40 minutes of fun that still sounds fresh today.
THE LOUD BLARING PUNK ROCK ALBUM (1984) was originally solicited as a collection of 1979 recordings that had remained in the vaults until the band's success in '83. While that would explain the album's primitive Punk sound, it was complete B.S. In essence, this third album was actually the follow-up to MATING SOUNDS… but recorded under completely different circumstances. Made up of songs written for a side project that Peter and Del were involved with plus some very early unrecorded Test Tube songs, LOUD BLARING… was a fine Punk album but worlds away from MATING SOUNDS… This did sound like the same band that had recorded the early singles and the live debut album so it wasn't too far away from the band's origins. Certainly fun, LOUD BLARING… is a fine release but not the album we deserved after the highs of their previous album.
With a title that was rooted in their wacky sense of humor, ROTTING IN THE FART SACK was a 1985 EP that brought the band back to the poppy world they had discovered with MATING SOUNDS… "Ten Deadly Sins" is a fun Cow-Punk romp. "Rotting In The Fart Sack" sounds like a drunken rewrite of "The Air That I Breathe" (which certainly points towards a wicked sense of humor). "Spirit Of Keith Moon" and "Boozanza" would show up – in slightly remixed form – on their next album. The CD version in this box includes some further single edits and live tracks.
1986's SOBERPHOBIA was the proper full-length follow-up to MATING SOUNDS… and was a foray into the Pop world without abandoning their snotty Punk roots and sense of humor. Similar to The Adicts' musical trajectory from Punk stalwarts to melodic Post-Punks, this release may not have pleased their hardcore Punk fanbase but anyone looking for a collection of crackin' tunes was in for a treat. SOBERPHOBIA is filled to the brim with punky hooks and shout-alongs: "Louise Wouldn't Like It," "Key To The City," "He's On The Whiskey (Watch Out)," and "Every Time I See Her" are fun as hell highlights from yet another tasty album. (Hey Pop fans! Chris Gent plays sax on the album. You can also here him as lead vocalist on The Records' third album, MUSIC ON BOTH SIDES!)
TEST TUBE RARITIES gathers up rare early tracks including non-album singles, compilation appearances and demos along with other non-album cuts released during the period represented in this set. This disc serves as both a 'loose ends' collection (which is obviously its intention) as well as a nice look into the band's evolution on one handy disc!
A glorious racket from start to finish, this is a box that lives up to the band's legend. Seek and you shall find wondrous audio treasures hidden within!

VLC Media Player App For Windows 8 / 8.1 Has Been Released! [Download Link]
By Ben Reid | March 13th, 2014
It has only taken the best part of 18 months, but VideoLAN has finally come through on its promise to tailor its famed VLC media player for users of Microsoft Windows 8 / 8.1. Finely tuned for seamless integration with the tiled interface, VLC for Windows 8 is now available to download, although unfortunately for Windows RT users, the RT edition is not quite ready.
It was back in late 2012 – a short while after Microsoft officially released Windows 8 – that VideoLAN first teased some ideas and concept images of how the VLC for Windows 8 app might eventually look. Having made its very own Kickstarter page in order to get things up and running, it exceeded its $40,000 goal, and after the campaign, the company swiftly got to work on rebuilding the iconic media player from the ground up.
One of the reasons why VLC media player is held in such high regard among users of many different platforms is due to its inherent ability to handle almost any file format thrown at it, and with a completely remodeled version in-keeping with the look and feel of Windows 8 / 8.1, it finally caters to those running the latest version of the Redmond's flagship operating system.
With a teaser of the app's Snap View back in January, we had a sneaking suspicion that the release was imminent, and now, it has been deemed ready for prime time use. Although it's currently only available to those on Windows 8 / 8.1 (x86 and x64) with no RT support, it's just a relief to finally see it hit the Windows Store.
The release notes quip that the app can "play every kind of video," but we knew that already, right? Right. Aside from doing what it has always done, the interface is very much in tune with the aesthetic of Windows 8 / 8.1 in general, and although we haven't yet had a chance to test it out in a detailed manner, we're very much looking forward to firing up some movies on it.
Grab VLC media player for Windows 8 / 8.1 via the direct link provided below, and we'll keep you guys updated on the progress on the Windows RT support for the app, which we hopefully won't have to wait too long for.

Ocean Beach Planners tackle Land Development Code updates
The Ocean Beach Planning Board's Nov. 6 meeting at the Rec Center covered a multitude of technical topics and lasted nearly three hours.
(Savanah Duffy)
By Savanah Duffy
The Ocean Beach Planning Board (OBPB) met for a three-hour meeting at the OB Rec Center Wednesday, Nov. 6 that covered a multitude of technical topics — including the 12th Update to the Land Development Code, a taskforce's recommended regulations for Community Planning Groups citywide — and a public hearing appeal regarding a City project to re-do the wheelchair-access ramp at Dog Beach so it becomes ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant.
Amendment 12: Cannabis Advertising
The OBPB took a long hard look at amendments 12 and 24 of the 12th Update to the Land Development Code, Phase Two. Amendment 12 of the draft proposed changes to marijuana outlets and production facilities, including a request to change the language from "marijuana" to "cannabis" throughout the Municipal Code, to better encompass the industry.
Additional proposed changes included a required distance of at least 1,000 feet from cannabis advertisements to residential care facilities, schools, childcare centers, libraries, and other sensitive locations. After discussion, vice chair Kevin Hastings made a motion to "request that the Municipal Code which states the minimum view-able distance for cannabis advertising on billboards from parks, playgrounds and schools be changed from 1,000 feet distance to 500 feet diameter." The motion passed unanimously.
Amendment 24: Tandem Parking
Amendment 24 of the draft was intended to repeal the Residential Tandem Overlay Zone. Currently, there are only certain parts of the City where tandem parking (two parking spots configured as a single, double-length perpendicular parking spot) can count toward overall parking requirements. The City's proposed change would remove that stipulation so tandem parking would count toward overall parking for any project, as long as the parking can be accessed off an alley.
Currently, a residence with tandem parking would require a two-car garage or additional parking. The 24th amendment would make it so tandem parking would count as two spaces, and only building a one-car garage would be required.
A motion was made to suggest the amendment include the language: "except for properties where there is an existing curb cut," as OBPB observed Ocean Beach has tandem parking along the western side of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard that has access in front of apartment buildings, rather than the back. The motion passed 9-4.
Note: OBPB's motions must be reviewed by the City Planning Commission before going to City Council for approval.
Taskforce on CPG Reform Draft Findings and Recommendations
A taskforce was established by the City Council's Land Use & Housing Committee in April to review existing recommendations for revisions to Community Planning Groups, compiled from the City Audit, the Grand Jury report, and the Democracy in Planning report produced by Circulate San Diego. The taskforce also considered additional recommendations proposed by its members.
Though many of the recommendations have already been approved, OBPB voted to have certain ones altered or struck entirely. Numbers 20, 21, 22, 27 and 30 received motions by board members.
• 20 — "Gather relevant demographic data of CPG board members in an audit immediately and require new CGP board members to complete a demographic survey at every election or time of appointment. The survey should include: Age, Business Owner or Property Owner, Ethnicity, Gender, Length of Residence, Neighborhood, Professional Background, Race, Religion, Renter or Owner, Years of Service on CPGs."
Debate followed regarding whether that level of transparency would be helpful or considered overstepping; in the end, a motion to remove this recommendation was passed.
• 21 — "Require a termed-out board member to wait two years until they could run for their CPG seat again without exceptions." A motion to remove this recommendation was passed.
• 22 — "The Planning Department should develop methods and provide resources to improve recruiting that could result in more diverse CPG membership."
A motion passed to change the language to read: "The Planning Department should provide resources to improve recruiting that could result in more diverse CPG membership and increase participation," primarily to prevent CPGs from having the City force methods upon them.
• 27—"CPG members must file statements of economic interest, per the Political Reform Act." A motion was passed to remove this recommendation.
• 30—"Revise the bylaws shell in 600-24." A motion passed to remove this revision as the board found it to be unclear.
All of these amendments must be reviewed by the Land Use & Housing Committee before being brought to City Council for a vote.
The remaining recommendations will be reviewed Tuesday, Nov. 26 in the Silver Room, City Concourse, 202 C St. Time TBD.

Dog Beach Ramp
During past meetings, planning group members and residents expressed strong reservations about the City's $1.1 million project to rebuild the ADA ramp at Dog Beach in the same isolated location (some locals refer to it as "the ramp to nowhere") and the fact that the ramp's hefty pricetag would take funds from other Capital Improvement Plan projects.
The board is pushing for a more cost-effective solution that will provide physically handicapped beach-goers with better access to the ocean and Dog Beach, rather than a new ramp that will provide them with the same view of "just a lot of sand."
A public hearing to air these concerns to City Council will take place 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19 in the Council Chambers on the 12th floor of City Administration Building, 202 C St.
However, Teddy Martinez, rep for District 2 City Council member Jennifer Campbell told the board: "There were missed opportunities to communicate ... you have their attention," and expressed the hope to meet with the board and the City Planning Department to find a way to address concerns so OBPB would consider withdrawing their appeal. He added that his goal is to avoid having Campbell vote against a planning board in her district.
As Point Loma-OB Monthly went to press, OBPB chair Andrea Schlageter said the appeal is still moving forward.
—OBPB next meets 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4 at the Rec Center, 4726 Santa Monica Ave. oceanbeachplanning.org

In addition to our annual PI contest, this year teachers volunteered for our first "Pie a Teacher" fundraiser. To help raise money for upcoming school events, students were able to purchase tickets for a chance to "Pie" a teacher of their choice. Our brave STAR Prep volunteers included Desiree Dufresne, Vlad Duran, Louis Infante, and Thomas Valencia. It was a great time as students cheered with every pie thrown. It was a messy but fun event for everyone. Hopefully, this too will become an annual tradition.

► U.S. Judge Walter Smith Jr. of Waco; pervert's punishment
U.S. Judge Walter Smith Jr. of Waco; pervert's punishment
The state of Texas presented Walter Scott Smith Jr. with a law license in 1966 after he graduated from Baylor University Law School.
President Ronald Reagan was duped into appointing Walt to a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas in 1984. Dennis didn't get the appointment because he was the most qualified lawyer in the greater Providence area. He got it because he had proven to be a reliable lackey for the local political hacks.
For the past 34 years (1983 to 2015), Walt has had his significant snout firmly implanted in the public trough. Apparently, no self-respecting law firm in the greater Waco area was about to offer him a good paying job.
The Judicial Council of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found Walt guilty of the following misconduct.
Made inappropriate and unwanted physical advances toward court employee
Made unwanted non-physical sexual advances toward court employee
Violated existing standards of behavior for federal judges (What's new?)
Groped court employee in his chambers
Failed to abide by procedures requiring his withdrawal from a case that clearly involved a conflict of interest
Failed to appreciate the gravity of his inappropriate conduct
Allowed false assertions to be made in response to ethics compliant
Victim testified that when Smith invited her to his chamber, he had a "pretty strong smell" of liquor on his breath
When victim went to Smith's chambers, he put his arms around her and kissed her
Smith sent the victim flowers and continued to make unwanted advances
Laughable punishment meted out to Smith the Perv
The comedians sitting on the 5th Circuit panel punished Smith by prohibiting him from hearing any new criminal or civil cases for a year (through December 4, 2016).
The comedians also ordered that the Perv complete at his expense a sensitivity training court "about appropriate professional interaction." This Certified Perv is 75-years-old. It's a little late in the game for this type of training! An unreliable source indicated that the Perv has opted to attend the Anthony Weiner Sexual Sensitivity Institute in Brooklyn New York.
How can it be construed as punishment when Smith is given a one-year taxpayer funded vacation? And during that time he'll still receive a salary of $199,100. Who was the buffoon that said crime doesn't pay?
This is just another fine example of why the citizens have absolutely no faith in the manner in which federal and/or state judges are disciplined. It is undisputed that Judicial Misfits are held to a much lower standard of conduct then everyone else.
Having only judges sitting in judgment of judicial misconduct is an unmitigated joke. It would be the equivalent of limiting jurors sitting on a child molestation case to convicted pedophiles and then wondering why there are no convictions.
As we speak (ca. December 2015), Smith the Perv remains sitting as a District Court judge in Waco despite the fact he isn't performing any services on behalf of the taxpayers.


A very practical stick fighting system. Stick fighting was practised in many countries throughout history. We draw on English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh traditions. The system incorporates routines, strikes, locks and throws and also involves kicks and punches etc.


Shortly after I'd taken this photo, I slipped and fell which is why we cut our holiday short.
Well hey there! We arrived home yesterday from the Scottish Highlands, having spent 4 nights in the van touring Glencoe, Fortwilliam and finally on to the Isle of Skye. We decided that we wanted to see a bit more of the UK instead of going abroad this summer and the Highlands is somewhere that appealed to the both of us. It began with a long 5 hour drive from my hometown, to the secluded red squirrel campsite, a short walk from Glencoe. Surprisingly we were greeted with blue skies and a fairly mild breeze, perfect for camping! We drove to Glencoe for a nose around and sat by Loch Leven in the sunshine and later returned to camp and sat around the fire with prosecco and homemade chilli con carne – which was delicious by the way, thanks gran.
Day two of our trip was a very wet and wild one. We drove around Glencoe looking for beauty spots which you will find around every single corner, it really is out of this world! The scenery is like something from Jurassic world or Lord of the Rings, it was surreal and made me feel so small! We did get very very wet which made me wish we had booked a cosy little B&B.
On day 3 we headed on up to Fort William for the day. We had planned on walking Ben Nevis but the weather wasn't great and we weren't really prepared for extreme weather so unfortunately we didn't tick Ben Nevis off but we did have a good wander around Fort William before heading off to the Isle of Skye. There were a number of things I wanted to see and do in Skye which unfortunately never happened after I fell and almost broke my leg (Ok, maybe I'm being slightly dramatic but my knee still bloody kills!). We got to see the Old Man of Storr in the mist which was an eerie experience but wonderful non the less. I'd have love to have visited the Fairy Pools and Neist Point Lighthouse but I'm sure we will get to visit again soon when the sun is shining!
And finally day 4 was spent driving all the way back to the Lakes – a whole 7 hour drive! I really wish the weather was better so we could've enjoyed the trip a bit more. I just want to say a big thank you to The Roof Box Company for sorting us out with a bike rack for our trip, very much appreciated!
Buy a bottle or two of Smidge – the midges there are lethal and I'm still itchy now! I'd also buy the coil burners as well as a hat with a net to cover your face if you're prone to getting bitten.
Chances are you will need an awning or somewhere to sit under to cook if it's wet, otherwise it's very difficult!
Take plenty of water proofs and prepare for all kinds of weather, wind, rain or shine!
Pack lightly! We took far too much food and clothes because we were all very last minute and we didn't use a lot of it. It's also difficult finding what it is you want when you have so much stuff with you but I always over pack so maybe it's just a trait of mine.
