But Russia is reluctant to give up the worst of her secrets. As Fox’s investigation sees him dragged deeper towards the dark heart of a Soviet establishment determined to protect its own, his fears for Alex’s safety grow with those of the girl’s father.

And if Fox can’t find her soon, she looks likely to become the next victim of a sadistic killer whose story is bound tight to that of his country’s terrible past...

Moskva is a brilliantly written, chilling and sophisticated the first serial killer thriller by two-time BSFA winner Jon Courtenay Grimwood.

How to import .mts clips from Panasonic HDC-MDH1 into Final Cut Pro X?

Posted by admin | Comments are off for this article

Panasonic‘s HDC-MDH1 AVCHD PAL Camcorder is a shoulder-mount HD camera with a pro-style form factor that gives you added comfort and stability during long handheld shoots. Capable of capturing full HD 1920 x 1080 or downconverted standard-definition 576i video, the camera provides the versatility and convenience necessary for getting your shots the way you want them. A tiltable viewfinder and touchscreen LCD screen help you compose with ease, while the 16.8x optical/23x Intelligent zoom lens gets you as close to the action as you’re likely to need. At the same time, a built-in zoom microphone follows the lens’ lead, making sure that what you see is also what you hear. But so many users are facing some frustrating result when importing Panasonic HDC-MDH1 footage into FCP X. The basic reason is that AVCHD MTS  is not a fully supported format by Final Cut Pro.

To make it easier for editing Panasonic HDC-MDH1 AVCHD videos on FCP X, you’d better to transcode Panasonic AVCHD to Apple ProRes first, as it is the best codec for Final Cut Pro editing. Below is the simple step-by-step guide for Panasonic camcorder users: using UFUSoft Panasonic AVCHD Converter for Mac to convert Panasonic HDC-MDH1 MTS to ProRes 422 for FCP on iMac/MacBook Pro with Mac OS X, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks.

Greenpeace boat in Seattle to protest Shell drilling rigs

If you were at Shilshole or Golden Gardens this evening, you may have noticed a Greenpeace ship, the Esperanza, floating around the opening to the canal. They’ve been in Seattle for the past few days in order to, “expose Shell’s attempts to begin destructive drilling in the pristine Arctic Ocean,” as Greenpeace told the West Seattle Blog.

Esperanza passing through the canal, photo credit Ron Lloyd

Greenpeace told the West Seattle Blog that they plan to use Esperanza to follow Shell’s ships to Alaska, where Shell plans to begin drilling:

Greenpeace is launching its “Save the Arctic” ship tour just as a new Alaskan oil rush begins. The Esperanza will sail along the Pacific Coast, shadowing Shell’s drilling vessels, the Noble Discoverer drillship (built in 1966) and Kulluk platform (1983), as they enter one of America’s most fragile and unknown ecosystems.

Esperanza was scheduled to pass through the Ballard Locks at about 7:30 p.m. tonight (Thursday), likely headed for the Northlake Shipyard, according our tipster Ron Lloyd.

Spam Buns

I always have a can or two of Spam in my pantry for emergency. Emergency like I ran out of protein in my freezer but people who knew me know that will never happen ha ha I always have access of protein in my freezer. Anyway, the two cans I have are very near to the expiration date and I decided to use one of it for the filling of these sweet buns. I gave half of the buns away and the rest we just devour it in 2 days. I know is unhealthy but who doesn't like Spam :) It was that good. For the buns, I just used my regular sweet bread dough and this dough is really good as it stays soft even the second days. In fact I used this same dough recipe to make some tuna buns a few days later.

3 ½ cups flour
½ tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar
2 tsp dried yeast
1 cup milk
80 gram butter
1 egg
1 can of Spam – cut into 16-18 pieces
1 egg – beaten for egg

1. Heat up the milk to about 100 degree F. Add in 1 tbsp sugar and dried yeast. Mix well and set it aside for 10 minutes.
2. In the meantime combined the flour, the balance sugar and ½ tsp salt in the mixing bowl of the stand mixer. Mix well.
3. Once the yeast mixture become foamy, add 1 egg to the flour follows by the yeast mixture. Turn on the mixer with the dough hook attachment and mix and knead the bread until combined. Add in the butter. Continue to knead for 7-8 minutes till it forms into a smooth ball.
4. Remove from dough from the bowl, give a few knead by hand on a floured work surface. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover and let it rise in a warm place until double in size. It takes over an hour.
5. Remove the dough onto the flour work surface, punch out the air, and divide the dough into 16-18 equal portions. Roll it into a ball.Take each ball and roll it into oval shape. Place a piece or two cut spam into the middle and fold the dough over
6. Place it on a baking sheet that lines with parchment paper. Do the same to the rest. Cover the buns and let it rise for another 45-50 minute.
7. Brush the top of the buns with egg wash, bake in a pre-heated 375 degree F oven for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Note: For the dough, if it is too soft you can add in 1 – 2 tbsp of extra flour to it but if it is too dry add in a bit more milk

Rear Crash Protection Results
Side Impact Test Results

Mfg's Report Date: FEB 10, 2014
Potential Number Of Units Affected: 1,367,146

General Motors LLC (GM) announced on February 10, 2014 that they are recalling certain model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, and 2007 Pontiac G5 vehicles. Two weeks later, GM increased the recall to include an additional 748,024 model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Solstice vehicles and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion vehicles and 2007 Saturn Sky vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. The recall began on March 10, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737 or Saturn at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for the initial recall is 13454 and 14063 for the expansion. Note: Until the recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that customers remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to

The safety ratings and information is provided directly from the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

Donald Trump: the modern-day Nero ready to burn down America?

The most famous of Roman rulers was not erratic to begin with, but only became so once he was seduced by spectacle. Trump is not too different from him

Donald Trump, US Presidential Aspirant
Donald Trump has been diagnosed in the media over and over again, called everything from a malignant narcissist to a pervert. While many would concur that he is simply personality disordered of some variety or another, maybe, some wonder, he could even be psychotic, paranoid – a real
madman deep down.

Diagnosing public figures that one has not conducted a “proper examination of” is forbidden by the American Psychiatric Association in what they call “The Goldwater Rule” – as is releasing the results of that examination without proper authorization. But that rule is often ignored when it comes to Donald Trump.
 The desire to find some explanation for his erratic behavior, his racist and misogynistic remarks, is urgent. People simply want to understand what kind of president he will be, what kind of decisions he will make. And yet, I am uneasy when these psychological notions are thrown around more as accusations than explanations.

In clinical work itself, diagnosis can be orienting, but it explains very little, especially, in this case, of the phenomenon that is Donald Trump. To understand him, you need to understand the American people. Together, they may be a diagnosable symptom.

Why is America engaging with someone like Trump right now? There is a general uneasiness in our country, in particular at a moment when America as the great world superpower, the land of the American dream, is seen for what it perhaps always was – a fantasy. And Trump is a fantastical figure: a multimillion-dollar businessman, a reality TV star, a tabloid figure and now a presidential candidate who is a master of the media.

He seems able to ease this general anxiety through providing a concrete point of fascination, even if that is simply contempt. He arouses powerful desires in a time of resignation.

Engaging with Trump is like rubbernecking a car crash. But sadly, and this is the truth about the effects of any collapse of fundamental fantasies, the car crash is not in the future, but in the past. We are an empire already in a moment of decline, and many have noted that Trump is the first presidential candidate in history to run a campaign that speaks to this: Make America Great Again.

It is this collective American trauma that concerns me, because as a psychoanalyst, I know that trauma has a strange will to repeat what is most destructive in it, rather than reach for positive change. The brutal realities, the deceptions, feeling out-of-control and at a loss are too difficult to look squarely in the face.

The Obama campaign that ran on the slogans “hope” and “believe” almost feels like an insult given where our country is now with respect to its sense of self. This is the void that we stepped into in the 21st century and Americans must find a more sober, less exciting or anxiety-inducing symptom than Trump.

As a psychoanalyst, there are two things that worry me about Trump. First, names are incredibly important. Prophetic in and of themselves, they are a direct link to lineage and a collective history of language. Is it any wonder that “trump” means both to surpass and beat, triumph, but also to cheat, deceive the eyes, to trumpet, blow-hard and even play-the-fool?

Second, if one turns to history and looks at Rome – a highpoint in civilization with its own infamous decline – the most famous of its Caesars were not erratic to begin with, but only became so once they were seduced by spectacle. Many have pointed out Trump’s rather modest plans with respect to the economy and government aside from his more hyperbolic claims.

Nevertheless, the most erratic statements come when he is put in front of the camera, in a tense or terse situation, with adoring fans ready to soak in the spectacle that we have come to expect from him. He always ups the ante. This ready participation in spectacle, these intertwined desires, can unleash something powerfully destructive. It is not simply a question of there being a divide between what he does on camera and what he will do as president. The two are locked in a danse macabre.
Looking at Nero, perhaps the most famous of the Roman Caesars, he began rather modestly in his plans, that is, until his participation in theater (his famous fiddling) and other sportsmanship gained him praise, which he appeared to become intoxicated on.

This eventually unloosed a kind of madness, from paranoia about threats to his life and the loyalty of his followers, to a false confidence in natural resources and excessive spending and sexual debauchery. All of which led him to the moment he burns down Rome as the spectacle of all spectacles. Trump, in his bizarre offhand comments, has touched on every one of these conceits.

Here, we see how the feelings that a public may have had about its own country, or a knowledge it was unable to acknowledge, ends in a self-fulfilling prophesy: Rome is burning.

The Upside Of Living Without Cable TV

After waiting for weeks to be reactivated, sending emails and getting automated replies, tweeting at their handle and being ignored and dealing with really crappy customer care executives, I decided I had had it with DSTV. I stopped renewing my subscription. I was just upset and I figured it wasn’t by force to buy stuff from people who didn’t really care whether or not I was happy about their service.

Now, you must understand how big a decision that was for me. For someone who can watch the various crime channels all day, I wasn’t sure how long I was going to be able to stay angry.

You know, I used to wonder what my fascination was with whodunit. There is just something about a crime story and the way detectives analyze and struggle to unravel the mystery behind a death, abduction or disappearance. One time, I became so bothered I asked the baba who lived at the junction not too far from my house.

He said we should wait for a full moon. We did. When we saw one, he stared at it for a full minute and then told me the truth.
My child, he said, in your other life, you were not even Nigerian.
Oh yeah? I asked intrigued. So, who was I?
You were born in the UK, and at 23 married the famous Sherlock Holmes.
Huh? Isn't Sherlock a fictional character?
No... baba said. In the planet where you lived before, Ogbeni Sherlock worked at Scotland Yard.
I grinned. Baba...
But it all made sense.
So that’s why I’m attracted to all them crime stories eh?
Yes, he nodded wisely.

As treatment for my addiction, he prescribed 3 tablespoons of Yoyo Bitters and one bulb of onion per week. My ailment is now under control.

Sorry for digressing.
(Please, I hope you did not take that story seriously? Incase you did, free yourself o)
Sorry for digressing.

I have said all of this to let you know I suffered serious withdrawal symptoms when I boycotted DSTV. But something amazing happened even though I didn’t notice at first.

I found other ways to get most of the information I would have watched on Cable TV. And I also found other things to do with my time. I felt and still feel less depressed and agitated about all the bad things happening all over the globe. I have more time for books. I sleep earlier than I would have if I were watching Paula Zahn. I wake up rested and brimming with hope. I finished a book I had been struggling to write forever.

The most amazing thing that happened to me is this – I have come to realise (All by myself mind you) that I am still alive, I can breath, without cable TV. Praise God somebody.

Which brings me to the moral of this somewhat convoluted story: There is a clear difference between needs and wants. Sadly, most of us have both confused and spend energy and money on wants that have taken on the appearance of needs.

Some of the things we so desperately chase after, do we really need them? Are we overestimating their potential to bring joy, fulfilment and happiness when what we have is enough? huh?

P.s – I have been DSTV free for almost 2 years now. At this rate I just might dash somebody my decoder :D

At first i thought you wanted to drop a bombshell on DSTV's recent discrepancies i.e. 5 mins booting, sudden trip off and so on but funnily you brought something absolutely different. I quite agree what your friend said about milking your social capital. You are GOOD!!

Attendance, Cutting, Tardiness, and Make-Up Work Policy

Given the highly experiential and participatory nature of both the Massage Therapy Program and Reflexology Program, regular and timely attendance is essential. It is important to note that classes begin and end as scheduled in the catalog. All absences and latenesses are recorded in the attendance book and students will be required to make up any missed time before being allowed to graduate. Two late arrivals or early departures (or combination of the two) equal one absence.

All absences must be made up in one of the following ways:

  1. The student attends a makeup class scheduled at a different time other than the usual class time.
  2. The student participates in private tutoring, with approved faculty, at a rate of $25 per hour. One hour of private tutoring equals four hours of class time.
  3. Snow makeup days will be held at no expense to the student. Students should call the school for an inclement weather announcement. Announcement will be posted by 7:00am on days of questionable weather.
  4. The student may write a four page report, single spaced typed, on the topic that was discussed during the class when they were absent. This report counts as a makeup for a missed class.

Smart. Sharp. Funny. Fearless.

Mitt Romney has won one election in his life, and the state that elected him now rejects him by a nearly 2-1 margin. Why?

One thing that Mitt Romney does consistently, whether he’s playing moderate or severely conservative, is lie.

His strategic confusion is probably geared to get people to talk about what he’s saying and not what he’d do—transfer ridiculous amounts of wealth from the middle class to the richest.

During the last debate, the president finally got the chance to rebut Romney’s biggest lie of the campaign—that the president went on “an apology tour” because he didn’t praise George W. Bush’s policies.

“Nothing Gov. Romney just said is true,” the president said, “starting with this notion of me apologizing. This has been probably the biggest whopper that’s been told during the course of this campaign. And every fact-checker and every reporter who has looked at it, Governor, has said this is not true.

Since we can’t rebut Romney to his face, we figure a little mockery is the next best thing.

“nobsartist” helped us trump Trump’s ridiculous announcement by suggesting that Mr. Romney’s Donald Trump association is as more than supporters and neither has a birth certificate he could produce.

Now we want to know what you think Mitt’s next lie will be.

Post your guess in the comments, then ask your friends to like it. The winning suggestion will appear in our Friday newsletter.

National Dwarfism Awareness Month

October has been declared National Dwarfism Awareness Month by Little People of America. Little People of America (LPA) is a national support organization for people with dwarfism and their families. LPA provides peer, parent and medical support for the dwarfism community.

LPA began in 1957 with actor Billy Barty and 20 short-statured friends. The first LPA meeting was monumental for a group of people who were severely mislabeled and misunderstood by society.

Today, Little People of America is a thriving international organization providing much needed support, education, educational scholarships, and community outreach.
In declaring Dwarfism Awareness Month, LPA hopes to raise positive awareness around dwarfism, address common misconceptions, and increase opportunities for people with dwarfism around the country.

“People with dwarfism are no different than any other person. We may just need a well-placed stool. Our members are children, college students, business professionals, doctors, engineers, mechanics, artists and teachers. We can do anything an average-height person can do,” says Lois Lamb, LPA President and a person with dwarfism.

“Raising a child with dwarfism is new for most parents. Being part of LPA has made a tremendous difference. My daughter and I both have great friends and role models. High school is not an easy time for most teens, but neither of us feels alone in dealing with any extra challenges,” says Joanna Campbell, average-height mother of a teen with dwarfism.
More about LPA and dwarfism:

• There are over 200 distinct forms of dwarfism and skeletal dysplasia.
• People with dwarfism are generally not taller than 4′ 10″ at adult height. The typical height range is 2’8″ to 4’5″.
• Eighty percent of people with dwarfism have average-height parents and siblings.
• There are an estimated 30,000 people in the United States and 651,000 internationally with a type of dwarfism.
• In July 2009 the word “midget” was declared inappropriate and offensive. Preferable terms are: average-height, having dwarfism, short stature, little person, lp, and the medical terminology use of dwarf. A person’s name is always the most preferred.
• LPA has registered a complaint with the FCC over the use of the “m” word. Our goal is to raise awareness around the offensive impact of the word in order to eliminate use of it in media, popular culture and in everyday language.
• LPA has 6500 members across the United States and includes 70 chapters active in all 50 states.
• Skeletal Dysplasias affect bone growth, but generally do not affect cognitive abilities.
• LPA hosts an annual national conference each July which draws more than 2500 attendees for a week of activities, including educational and medical workshops, sports, and social networking and events.

For more information about National Dwarfism Awareness Month, please visit or call 1-888-LPA-2001. Events supporting National Dwarfism Awareness Month will be occurring throughout the United States all during the month. Contact the chapter in your area, or the Chapter President or District Director listed on the website.
The National Dwarfism Awareness Month program is dedicated to increasing public knowledge about people with dwarfism.

Mission of LPA “LPA is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with dwarfism throughout their lives while celebrating with great pride Little People’s contribution to social diversity. LPA strives to bring solutions and global awareness to the prominent issues affecting individuals of short stature and their families.”
The LPA National Office is located in Southern California.
