(Late evening mist shifts around El Capitan in Yosemite National Park)
Waiting for the snow plows to clear the road wasn't working for me but having no choice in the matter I hunkered down and waited things out with the others. Eventually I got into the park and high tailed it down to the this Bridal Veil field area. It was about 4:30 or so and time was running thin as I set up and landed a few shots of El Capitan with the clouds moving in and out of the mist. Getting back to the car I realized I was atleast 1 1/2 stops under exposed on the image and maybe more from the prism finder reading. After calling myself a few expletives I settled on just getting the film home and push processing it to make up the difference. The film came back exposed properly but blue, I shifted some of the color, and converted over to black and white to create this image.
The tall Oak, towering to the skies,
The fury of the wind defies,
From age to age, in virtue strong.
Inured to stand, and suffer wrong.
-James Montgomery, "The Oak"
The walk was brisk as I worked my way up the switchbacks to get a glimpse of Upper Yosemite Falls. Eventually the trail gave in and I found myself in a familiar area awaiting my move down the wall and towards a settling area to hit the image. My intention was to capitalize on a spot I had found the winter before where I had encompassed both Halfdome and the Upper falls in the image. Try as I might I couldn't find the spot so had to go up higher and try to shoot both from a different vantage point. To make a long story short no matter what location I found I wasn't getting both icons in the image so settled on just shooting the Upper falls. The lighting added up to some nice shadows on the wall and a glancing spray water rainbow on the ground.

Half Dome reflecting in a flooded Yosemite Pond (May, 2005)
Excitement built up in me as I sped towards the back of Yosemite hopeful to get in the backdoor of the high country. Spring was in the air and rumors had it that the water levels would be higher then they had been in 50 years. Just the day before the park had been closed from flood conditions. Arriving at the back side I found it closed as the snow levels in the high country were way to high. 7 hours later I found myself getting in the park from the front side. After taking on an Upper Yosemite Falls climb the next day that left me dehydrated to some degree I found myself back at the car looking off in this direction. Upon walking through the reeds I found this pool of water aching for a mirror Lock up on the camera. I shot off about a roll and a half of film including black and white and settled on this one image. The wind was moving the water and reeds while the sun was moving in and out of the image. To add to the drama I couldnt decide just how low or high to go with the Graduated ND filter. Finally it came out some what to my liking.

Bridal Veil Falls in spring time
During a foray with my shooting partner Seth we reached a precipice where we found ourselves close to the fall yet out of view of tourists. The spray kept us wet but it was fun getting this different view of the fall and soaking up the moment at the same time. Seth captured an image of me against the fall while I ran into technical difficulties with the back on my own camera. We may repeat this image one day and I'll be ready to capture him against the spray the next time.

Moving past Vernals Photo Rock I put myself into position to let the waters flow into my lap. A few rocks kept me out of the water and I was able to run off a few shots of the flowing waters with people on the trail. I decided atleast in this image to keep the people in the image to add some perspective to the image.

At a time when so many people in the world are starving, it was important for Caritas to be in Durban "because one of the causes of starvation is climate change and, especially, irresponsible attitudes toward creation," Cardinal Rodriguez said.
For the Catholic Church, he said, climate change is not only a matter of "thermometers or scientific analysis, we are talking about human beings and the sufferings of human beings."
Catholics need to know that climate change is real and it is a problem that must be faced, the cardinal said. The way people treat the environment must change quickly, "not after all the consequences and tragedies that will come," he said.
"It is a faith issue because, from the very beginning of the Bible, you see how creation was entrusted to human beings" for their administration, not for their exploitation, he said.
While the Durban conference did not lead to a strong, legally binding commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions within a specific time frame, it did lead to international promises to continue working toward that goal.
With the international economy in a shambles, Cardinal Rodriguez said the Caritas team didn't expect "magic" from Durban, but the conference was a sign of growing public sensitivity to the need for real change.
"Of course, the problems are big. For us, one of the commitments will be to continue educating" Catholics and other people of good will about their responsibility toward creation and toward others living on the planet.
The Honduran cardinal said globalization "is not a bad word," but if people see it only as a process of expanding markets and finance, it will not help the human community.
"It is necessary to globalize solidarity," he said.
Cardinal Rodriguez is a member of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, which in late October published a note on the causes of and possible solutions to the global economic crisis; the note called for the establishment of a global financial authority and a new financial order marked by greater sharing and solidarity with the poor.
The cardinal described the council's statement as a "good effort" that has been "discredited by the financial world because they don't want some issues touched" that could limit their ability to act as they have been.
The current global economic crisis "is not only a financial crisis, it's an ethical crisis," the cardinal said.
Part of the response must be voluntary austerity, which is a Christian principle and a virtue, he said.
"We can be free if we are more independent from consumerism," which in turn frees people to be more generous with their neighbors who have less.
CIDSE, a Belgium-based international alliance of Catholic development agencies, said the "incremental gains" of the package of measures agreed to at the Durban talks do not deliver enough to prevent dangerous climate change and its impacts on developing countries.
While the implementation of the Green Climate Fund agreed to at the talks "is an important step toward an efficient tool for climate adaptation and climate mitigation for developing countries," it will "be of no help if there is no reliable and predictable money housed within it," the statement said.
"It is the responsibility of developed countries to give guarantees on the sources" that will fill the fund, it said.
CIDSE noted that poor communities, which are "least responsible" for the world's unsustainable levels of greenhouse gas emissions, will be further at risk.
A global agreement on emissions reduction will only help solve the climate crisis if it is legally binding "and it will only be fair if the emissions reductions targets are set on the basis of each country's historical contribution to current greenhouse gas levels," it said.
Climate change is a faith issue, Honduran cardinal saysBy Cindy Wooden, Catholic News Service
- December 13, 2011
VATICAN CITY - Climate change is a faith issue because it deals with God's creation and with poverty, said Honduran Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga of Tegucigalpa.
The cardinal, president of Caritas Internationalis, was in Durban, South Africa, for the U.N.-sponsored international conference on climate change Nov. 28-Dec. 9; he discussed the conference Dec. 13 with journalists at the Vatican.
Caritas Internationalis, a confederation of 165 national Catholic charities, provides emergency relief and development aid around the globe. But it also teaches Catholics about the church's social doctrines, advocating and educating people about issues of justice and peace, he said.
At a time when so many people in the world are starving, it was important for Caritas to be in Durban "because one of the causes of starvation is climate change and, especially, irresponsible attitudes toward creation," Cardinal Rodriguez said.

The people from Replyboard—a service that claims to eliminate Craigslist trouble—wanted "to make the point that you have no idea what will happen when you meet a complete stranger from Craigslist." So they went to visit four sellers with a hidden camera.
And they did some crazy stuff. Like asking for the bathroom and taking a shower.
I don't know if these were prepared or not—the sellers seem pretty starked when they start their pranks—but it's a good point. Have you ever had any weird experience like these? Tell us in the comments. [Replyboard]

A man has been arrested after equipment was stolen from a children's cancer ward, police have said.
The 37-year-old man was arrested in Keighley on Thursday after a mobile phone, laptops and other equipment was stolen from Leeds General Infirmary.
The man was later bailed pending further inquiries and the phone and a laptop have been recovered, West Yorkshire Police said.
Inspector Richard Clarke, of Leeds City Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "We are very much aware of the high level of public interest in these offences given the location in which they have occurred and we are conducting a full and comprehensive investigation into them.
"The arrest of this man and the recovery of some of the stolen items are significant developments and we will be continuing our inquiries to establish the full circumstances and take positive action.
"We are very grateful to all the members of the public who have assisted us with information but we would ask that people exercise caution, particularly around what information they post on social media that could potentially impact on our active investigation."
It is believed some of the equipment was stolen from an area of the ward operated by the Candlelighters children's cancer charity.
The charity, which provides support to children with cancer and their families in Yorkshire, posted a message on Facebook on earlier this week.
It said: "A sad day at Candlelighters. We now have to replace four laptops and a DVD player in our pavilion. Stolen some time in the past few days.
"We love being able to make the stay in hospital a little easier for our families, so please accept our apologies and we will fix it very soon.
"The police are aware and we are providing a full list of items stolen, I will share the link on their page when its up, we may get them back if they are offered for sale. Fingers crossed."
The message prompted an angry response from Facebook users, with many offering donations of equipment and money.
The charity confirmed that one of the laptops had been returned by police and thanked people for their "generous" offers.
It said: "We have been overwhelmed with messages of support following the theft of IT equipment from Ward 31.
"We are pleased to share that one of the laptops has now been returned by the police, but we are still on the lookout for the remaining stolen items."

The fellow above is Evgeniy Mikhailovich Bogachev. He's 30 years old, 5-foot-9, 180 pounds, and enjoys touring the Black Sea in his private boat and writing computer programs. He also likes long walks on the beach and committing wholesale fraud to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. Bogachev and four others have been named in a suit filed in a U.S. District Court for their roles creating and operating the Gameover Zeus (GOZ) botnet and the Cryptolocker ransomware. Bogachev is the only leader who's been named so far and has been charged with conspiracy, wire fraud, hacking, bank fraud, and money laundering.
Court documents list Bogachev as residing in Anapa, a town about 250 miles (330 kilometers) northwest of Sochi. The command and control servers authorities seized were located in Kiev and Donetsk, Ukraine. Like other takedowns we've seen in the recent past, gaining control of those servers was critical — and a bit surprising considering the recent unrest in Ukraine. It took a coordinated, multinational effort to bring down GOZ and Cryptolocker. Microsoft, Dell, Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, and CrowdStrike were all involved, as were researchers from Saarland University in Germany and VU University Amsterdam. Law enforcement agencies — including the FBI and Europol — also played significant roles.
A massive task force, to be sure, but these were two massive foes. Zeus has run rampant for years, infecting hundreds of thousands of computers and evolving over time to become more stealthy, more adaptable, and more dangerous. In the summer of 2013, Zeus went peer-to-peer, making the botnet more resilient — as well as making it harder to trace traffic back to the C&C servers. This isn't the first Zeus-related strike we've seen: a 24-year-old was arrested last year and Microsoft led two other raids in 2012.
Cryptolocker has been one of the most feared pieces of malware ever to hit the web. It infected nearly a quarter of a million systems and extorted millions of dollars from victims, and resulted in scores of people wiping their machines and restoring from clean backups (hopefully).
Now, the cleanup work begins. McAfee's free Stinger tool will scan your machine and remove any related infections, and there are additional resources posted on the Department of Justice website. If you have Cryptolocker or Zeus you'd probably know it, but it never hurts to do a quick scan to confirm.

The Housing Choice Voucher Program (formerly Section 8) provides rental assistance to income-eligible tenants by subsidizing a portion of their monthly rent and utilities and paying it directly to their landlords. In cases where utilities are not included in rent, the program may pay a larger portion of the rent so that the tenant is able to afford utility payments. The assistance provided is the difference between what the tenant pays toward rent (generally 30%-40% of the household's adjusted gross income) and the cost of the rent.
Once you have been accepted into the Housing Choice Voucher Program, you must remain in good standing. That requires being a considerate neighbor, paying your rent on time, reporting any changes in the members of your household or your income to your residential coordinator and ensuring that your unit passes an annual inspection.
Can I move to a new apartment and keep my Section 8?
Yes. You must be a Section 8 tenant in good standing with your landlord and have lived in your unit for at least one year in order to move.
How do I let the Housing Authority know that I want to move?
You must send a written request to your residential coordinator and be sure to provide a minimum of "30-days notice" to your landlord prior to moving.
How long will I have to find a new apartment?
Your residential coordinator will issue you a voucher giving you 60-days to locate a new unit. However, if your landlord has given you a notice to move, you must vacate your unit by the last day stated on that notice. If you remain in the unit after that date, you may face eviction.
Does the Colorado Division of Housing (DOH) pay security deposits?
DOH does not pay security deposits.
If I find a new apartment, can I move in right away?
No. You must follow the steps below:
How often can I move and still keep my Housing Choice Voucher?
You can only move one time in any 12-month period. If you are a person with a disability and need to move as a reasonable accommodation specifically related to your disability, please contact your residential coordinator for a "Request for Reasonable Accommodation" form.
If the Housing Authority makes a decision that affects my participation in the Section 8 Program, do I have a right to appeal?
Yes. All Section 8 program applicants, participants and owners are entitled to an informal appeal and review process to consider whether DOH decisions are in accordance with HUD regulations and DOH policies.
What types of reviews and hearings are available to me?
There are two different types of reviews and/or hearings. The specific review or hearing available to you depends on the nature of the complaint. The two procedures are: informal review, and informal hearing.
What is the difference between an informal review and an informal hearing?
What is a reasonable accommodation?
A reasonable accommodation is a change, adaptation or modification to a policy, program or service which allows a person with a disability, as defined under the federal civil rights law, the equal opportunity to participate fully in DOH's housing programs. Federal regulations require that requests for accommodations be considered reasonable if they do not create an undue financial and administrative burden for DOH, or result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the program. There must also be a clearly identified relationship between the required accommodation and the individual's disability. For more information please read the "Reasonable Accommodation Info Sheet."
When can I request a reasonable accommodation?
You must be a person with a disability in order to request a reasonable accommodation. To be considered a person with a disability, you must have:
What kinds of reasonable accommodations are available?
Some examples of reasonable accommodations are: conducting home visits for a person with a disability who cannot come to the Section 8 office, providing a list of units accessible to persons with disabilities, providing special assistance in finding a unit or making a referral to an agency that can help, rescheduling appointments, allowing a larger unit for a live-in aide, extending the search time to locate a unit, and allowing a special "exception payment standard" to make the unit more affordable.
How can I let DOH know that I need a reasonable accommodation?
You can request a reasonable accommodation at any time by completing a "Request for Reasonable Accommodation" form. If you are unable to complete the form, you may request assistance from your residential coordinator. Your disability and your need for the requested accommodation must be verified by a knowledgeable professional. If you have any questions along the way, contact your residential coordinator.
May I request more than one reasonable accommodation?
Yes, you may request more than one reasonable accommodation. Your need for the accommodation must be verified as medically necessary.
What counts as income?
Annual income means all amounts, monetary or not, which:
I currently do not have a source of income. What do I do?
The Housing Choice Voucher Program does not require you to have income. However, if you do not have a source of income, you are required to complete a "Zero Income Reporting" form annually. This is true for any individual who is 18 years of age or older with no income.
What happens if my income changes after I begin receiving rental assistance?
Whenever your household income changes you are required to report the change to your residential coordinator in writing within 10 days of the change. You can do this by completing the "Family Reporting" form. Your residential coordinator will review your Family Reporting Form and determine if and when a change in rent is required.
How often is my income reviewed?
Your income is reviewed at least annually by completing an annual reexamination. Approximately 90-120 days prior to your anniversary date, your residential coordinator will contact you to begin the reexamination process. You will need to complete forms and provide information in order to verify your income and eligibility for the program.
What protection do I have as a tenant if the property I reside in is being foreclosed?
Please refer to the following document for more information about tenant protections during foreclosure.Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act - Guidance on New Tenant Protections
Can the person who buys the building at foreclosure make me leave right away?
No, the new owner cannot force you to vacate the property immediately. The new owner needs to end your tenancy by giving you a 90-day notice to leave.
If you have an unexpired lease, you may be able to stay until the end of the lease.
What happens if I don't pay the new owner rent?
If you do not pay your portion of rent to the new owner, the new owner can send you a letter giving you a deadline to pay or move.
What if I have a one-year lease that has more than 90 days left?
In most cases, the new owner cannot evict you until the end of the lease. There are two exceptions.
If the new owner wants to use your home as his/her primary residence, the new owner only has to give you a 90-day notice to leave after becoming the owner.
If you do not pay your rent, the new owner only has to give you a deadline notice.
What if the new owner files an eviction?
If the new owner files for eviction, you may file an answer with the court that says the new owner failed to give the notice required by the Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act, Pub. L. No. 111-22, §702 (2009).
Changes in Household Composition
If there are changes in your family household, you must report those changes in writing to your residential coordinator within ten (10) business days. This includes additions due to birth, adoption, and court-awarded custody. Household additions/members that are not reported within the 10 days will be considered unauthorized household members. This will be considered a serious program violation and may result in termination of assistance.
How do I add an adult to my household?
You must get prior permission from your landlord and prior approval from DOH in order to have an adult household member (18 years or older) move in with you. The owner and you must complete and sign the "Add/Remove a Family Member" form within ten business days. In addition, the new adult family member must provide his/her birth certificate, Social Security card and Colorado photo identification card to DOH or their residential coordinator prior to approval.
DOH Approval:
Family additions are at DOH discretion. Related adults may be added to a household only as a disability accommodation for the head of household or the head of household's dependent(s). DOH may consider the addition of related adults when the household can demonstrate that it is necessary and reasonable for them to provide medical/life activities care for the proposed addition(s). Example: A head of household demonstrates that her disabled, elderly mother needs to come and live with her for reasons related to her disability and has no other means of obtaining affordable and safe housing.
If an adult who was previously on the household's lease leaves the household but wishes to return within one year of leaving, DOH may consider reinstating this adult to the household subject to an acceptable criminal background check. The income of new household member(s) must be verified and will be used to recalculate the rent portion. In addition, part of the approval process requires that criminal activity and the U.S. citizenship and/or eligible immigrant status of the additional family member(s) is declared and verified.
How do I add a child to my household?
If you are adding children (under 18 years of age) to your family through birth, adoption, or court awarded custody/guardianship, the change must be reported in writing within ten (10) business days of the family addition. You will also be required to fill out and sign the "Add/Remove a Family Member" form. In addition, you will be required to present the child's birth certificate and social security card to your residential coordinator. The income of new household member(s) must be verified and will be used to recalculate the rent portion. In addition, part of the approval process requires that U.S. citizenship and/or eligible immigrant status of the additional family member(s) is declared and verified. In the cases of custody, guardianship will be verified with a copy of a court ordered assignment, affidavit from parent, verification from a social service agency school records, or another legal document that verifies this information.
How do I remove family member(s) from my household?
If you wish to remove a household member, you must complete the "Add/Remove a Family Member" form. This form must be signed by the head of household, the family member being removed and also the landlord. Your residential coordinator will process the interim upon receipt of these items. The income of the person removed from the household can be deleted from the record without re-verifying the household's income.
Protections for Victims of Domestic Violence
The federal law known as Violence Against Women and the Department of Justice Reauthorization Act (VAWA) protects rental assistance recipients who become victims of domestic violence, dating violence or stalking.
Who does VAWA protect?
The law protects Section 8 tenants who are victims of domestic violence from losing their rent subsidy or being evicted from their apartment because of problems caused by their assailant or stalker.
A landlord may evict and end assistance to any tenant who engages in domestic violence. This may be done without evicting or taking action against the perpetrator's family members living in the same unit.
The law is not an absolute or blanket protection. Tenants who are victims of domestic violence may be subject to eviction and loss of rental assistance if they have committed other violations of their lease.
What do I need to do to verify that I am a victim of domestic violence?
Tenants who claim protection under the Violence Against Women law must provide documentation of domestic violence by any of the following:
Tenants who fail to provide verification within fourteen (14) business days of the date requested will forfeit protections provided under the Violence Against Women law.
Can I read more about the protections under the Violence Against Women law?HUD Notice PIH 2006-42: VAWA Act of 2005 Certification Form, etc. - issued by HUD 12/27/06 Certification form (HUD-50066) created for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.

Yahtzee On Net Fame
Russ Pitts of the Escapist interviews various Internet Youtube supa-dupa-stars on their awesomeosity. While The Guild's Sandeep Parikh is chatted with it's (perhaps predictably) Zero Punctuation's Yahtzee who gets centre-stage. But predictably doesn't mean undeservedly, and I was amused to see a little more about his reception at GDC this year, which I'd already heard about in snippets delivered by GDC-veterans.
"…Croshaw did have his moments of celebriphobia at this year's GDC, where even a short trip down the hall inevitably resulted in more than a few handshakes and requests for autographs. One woman had been clandestinely following him around all week, finally accosting him on his way to the airport to show him her sketchbook. He had a beguiling manner about him, she said, showing him how she'd captured the jaunty tilt of his hat with pencil and ink. The experience was jarring."
What Yahtzee does next is the interesting one. The smart money, I suspect, is on him ending up doing the Erik and Chet Old Man Murray thing and turning developer love into being a lovely developer. In a more traditional mainstream way than his indie stuff, obv.

Turtle Tracking
2009 marked the launch of Australia Zoo's Turtle Research Project. For the first time in Australia, we attached a satellite tracker to a rehabilitated turtle, to unlock the mystery of their journey back to the wild.
Crocodile Tracking
In August 2007, Australia Zoo joined forces with The University of Queensland and Queensland Parks and Wildlife to track the movements and behaviour of estuarine crocodiles. Using specially designed tracking devices, we are able to gain valuable, information about adult estuarine crocodiles.

Hidie ho everyone, and welcome back to another incredibly fun tutorial that I KNOW folks will love with excitement. I am going to start off this gloomy Sunday with a lesson on "how to draw zombie Pikachu", step by step. Did anyone ever imagine that one of Pokémon's oldest, and cutest characters could look so creepy and even ugly? The effort to make this modified Pokémon species came from a lot of creative thought. I was given some ideas as what to do from my brother and a few members. I want to thank those who aided me in the design concept for zombie Pikachu. I love the way he came out and I'm also digging how I drew in the exposed part of his mouth that shows the teeth. I wanted people to think that "yeah, Pikachu has fangs". Well, that's all I think I'm gonna say because I don't want to lose train of thought and ramble on about a particular Pokémon episode. I'll just let you all have fun drawing zombie Pikachu so you can learn something new. Adios peeps, and watch out for more drawing fun!

LONDON, June 25 (UPI) -- World No. 1 Novak Djokovic and third-seeded Roger Federer sailed through first-round matches Monday, the opening day of the Wimbledon Championships.
Djokovic defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero 6-3, 6-3, 6-1, losing his serve just once while taking nearly 70 percent of the points on serve. Djokovic ended up with six breaks.
Federer had just 10 unforced errors as he ran over Albert Ramos 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 in 79 minutes. Ramos managed a first-set break but Federer didn't see a break point while finishing with eight breaks himself.
No. 6-seeded Tomas Berdych was one of four men's seeded players defeated Monday when he dropped three tiebreakers -- 7-5 (7-5), 7-5 (7-4), 7-5 (7-4) to Ernests Gulbis. Gulbis fired 30 aces and won 77 percent of the points on serve. Each player lost serve once but Gulbis came through in the tiebreakers.
Alejandro Falla ousted 11th-seeded John Isner 6-4, 6-7 (7-9), 3-6, 7-6 (9-7), 7-5 while Denis Istomin got past No. 23-seeded Andreas Seppi 6-7 (2-7), 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 8-6; and Viktor Troicki edged No. 24 Marcel Granollers 7-5, 7-6 (7-4), 3-6, 2-6, 8-6.
Eighth-seeded Janko Tipsarevic out-battled David Nalbandian for a 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), 6-2 win. He had twice as many winners as unforced errors (40-20).
No. 13-seeded Gilles Simon advanced when Paul-Henri Mathieu retired in the second set, and 15th-seeded Juan Monaco got past Leonard Mayer 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-5) in a match that featured just one break.
Other seeded players advancing Monday included 17th-seeded Fernando Verdasco, No. 18 Richard Gasquet, 26th-seeded Mikhail Youzhny, No. 28 Radek Stepanek, 29th-seeded Julien Benneteau and No. 31 Florian Mayer.
Unseeded winners on the first day of the tournament were Grega Zemlja, Jeremy Chardy, Michael Russell, Ryan Sweeting, Philipp Petzschner, Inigo Cervantes-Huegen, Ruben Bemelmans, Benjamin Becker, Martin Klizan, Fabio Fognini, Igor Andreev, Guillaume Ruffin, Jerzy Janowicz, Ryan Harrison, Xavier Malisse,
Harrison next takes on Djokovic while Fognini's win earned his a second-round match with Federer.

The Waikato might not have a reputation as a sought after landscape photography location, and I know before I moved here I thought of it as mostly flat farmland. But it's surprising just how many rolling hills, waterfalls, lakes and secret river spots are contained within this region of NZ.
Moving from Wellington where I could take my pick of seaside locations within a very close radius, I really struggled when I initially moved to the Waikato to find good local options for photography – especially places I could get to within half an hour's drive for sunrise or sunset. Fast forward two years and I now struggle to choose where to go because there's so much choice, and there's still many places on my list to visit that I haven't even explored yet.
One of most popular images ever taken comes from the Waikato – from a winter's morning up Pirongia where the layers of hills and early morning mist and trees created the most heavenly rural New Zealand scene. It proves that you don't need amazing snow-capped mountains or crystalline lake reflections to compose a gorgeous scene – you just need to make good use of whatever scene you have right in front of you. I loved this shot so much I had to put it on canvas in my lounge in my own home, it's the last image I see before turning off the lights to go to bed at night, and one I'm truly so thrilled to have captured.

How did you find out President Obama was holding a surprise news conference, or that it was to announce Osama bin Laden's death? There's a decent chance it wasn't from a traditional media outlet but from someone you follow on Twitter or Facebook.
In fact, the news appears to have been broken by Twitter — or, more specifically, by Keith Urbahn, chief of staff to former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who tweeted, "So I'm told by a reputable person they have killed Osama Bin Laden. Hot damn."
Details on the New York Times' Media Decoder blog: How the bin Laden Announcement Leaked Out.
Greg Sandoval of CNet News.com calls it "by far the weightiest story that Twitter has ever helped to break."
The clues actually came even before Urbahn's tweet. Someone in Abbottabad, Pakistan, live tweeted the raid as it was happening, without knowing the significance: "A huge window shaking bang here in Abbottabad Cantt. I hope its not the start of something nasty." (Via Megan McCarthy as posted on TechMeme.)
Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Land has an interesting comparison of Google's reaction to 9/11 and to bin Laden's death nearly a decade later — showing how much more responsive search engines have become to real-time events.
On the subject of Google, the Atlantic notes that someone has already pinpointed bin Laden's hideout on Google Maps, down to the block, but Atlantic readers are questioning the accuracy in the comments. One red flag: It's essentially the same spot that comes up when conducting a generic search for Abbottabad in Google Maps.
Legitimate or not, the location of the compound on Google Maps is already getting lots of "reviews" from Google Maps users, as if it were a hotel or restaurant. One of the best: "Ugh. Impossible to find!"

Well...isn't this a blast from the past? I'd venture a guess that more than three-quarters of the people on this site have heard of or watched "CatDog" when they were younger. I was an avid fan of "CatDog" and when Nickelodeon took it off their channel, I was really missing my favorite show. Now, I hope this all brings back some awesome memories of the innocence of cartoons and shows way back when. Enjoy! :D

It's been a memorable year for Facebook. In July, the site surpassed 500 million registered users. In October, the story of the company's creation comes to the big screen in the form of David Fincher's feature film, "The Social Network." And now, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been named the most influential leader of the information age.
The 26-year-old wunderkind tops Vanity Fair's 16th annual ranking of the world's movers and shakers, which will run in the magazine's October issue. The Palo Alto-based company has become a transformative technological powerhouse, connecting friends and family members across the planet, letting them share status updates, photos and videos of their everyday lives.
Following Zuckerberg is Apple's Steve Jobs. Though the company's flagship iPhone 4 experienced a bumpy rollout due to antenna issues, the company continued its string of successful innovations with its iPad, a device that's going a long way to bridge the gap between smart phones and laptop computers.
U.S. & World
The men behind Google - Sergey Brin, Larry Page and Eric Schmidt - took the third slot, further cementing the idea that the center of power in the world may not rest in New York City, but rather in Northern California.
News Corp's media mogul Rupert Murdoch and Amazon chief Jeff Bezos rounded out the top five.
The highest ranking politician on the list is New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, who came in seventh. Johnny Depp was the highest ranking actor, coming in at 20 and Lady Gaga was the top performer, ranking 23rd.

WEDNESDAY, March 6 (HealthDay News) -- Short bouts of moderately intense exercise appear to improve the self-control of youngsters and young adults, a broad review of existing research suggests.
The Dutch analysis of 24 prior studies highlights the potential mental health benefit for people 6 to 35 years old who engage in a half-hour cycle or run, for example, but it remains unclear how long the positive effects last.
And whether repetitive training programs spread out over weeks or months might have a similar impact on youthful inhibitions also remains an open question.
"There were too few studies looking into the effects of long-term regular exercise to really know what the impact is, but the effect of short-term exercise is clear," said study lead author Lot Verburgh, a doctoral candidate in the department of clinical neuropsychology at VU University in Amsterdam.
"Tests conducted immediately after short bouts of exercise showed a clear improvement among higher-order functions like self-control, a cognitive [brain] function that is really important for daily activities in terms of both social life and academic performance," said Verburgh.
The association, gleaned from 19 studies involving 586 participants, is discussed in the March 6 online issue of the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
The findings could have relevance for treating disorders associated with impaired inhibition, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism, according to the study.
The authors noted that past research has indicated that moderate exercise can positively affect mental function among older adults. Walking, for example, has been associated with improved memory and attention skills among otherwise sedentary seniors, they explained.
For this project, the team looked at studies conducted through 2012 that focused on three age groups: 6 to 12 years, 13 to 17 years, and 18 to 35 years.
Nineteen studies concerned the effects of acute -- or short -- bouts of moderate exercise. Such workouts might elevate heart rate to about 60 percent of maximum capacity and could include 10 to 40 minutes of cycling or running, for example. Twelve of these studies specifically assessed the impact of acute exercise on self-control.
Only five studies examined the impact of chronic -- or routine -- exercise, and the results were inconsistent.
The bottom-line: While unable to draw any conclusions regarding chronic activity, the team found that short bouts of exercise did seem to boost self-control across all three age categories, a lift that could give still-maturing younger brains a leg up in social, academic and sports-related settings.
What lies behind the apparent exercise-driven inhibition boost?
"A higher-order function like self-control, or inhibition as we say, is located mainly in the pre-frontal cortex of the brain. It may be that the effect we see is due to an enhancement of blood circulation in the brain," explained Verburgh.
"And that would lead me to think that if you want to have an effect that's long-lasting, you would probably have to exercise regularly and often," Verburgh added. "But if that's true or not remains unclear."
Ali Weinstein, an assistant professor and deputy director of the Center for Study of Chronic Illness and Disability at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., suggested that the lack of clarity regarding the impact of long-term chronic exercise is a big sticking point in "a very interesting analysis."
"Exercise has traditionally been linked to many health benefits: cardiovascular, weight control, lower cholesterol (and) lower risk for some cancers," she said. "However, less research has investigated the more 'mental' health benefits of exercise."
It's already known that exercise can have mood benefits, Weinstein added. "If exercise can also be linked to long-term improvement in higher-order mental processes, exercise may soon be not only a treatment option for heart disease patients and individuals looking to control their weight, but also for ADHD and Alzheimer's patients," she said.
However, she cautioned, "if these effects are not sustained, then they are probably not that meaningful."
The review findings should be a wake-up call that investigations of chronic exercise are needed, Weinstein added. "If the acute exercise effects are replicated in chronic exercise investigations, then we have really found something that can enter recommendations for everyone," she said.

An attorney friend of mine once asked me "Don't you get bored doing nothing but estate planning? After all, don't you just do the same thing over and over?"
My friend didn't get it. Estate planning is not about writing brilliant documents (although each trust is unique). It's about helping people accomplish some of their life's goals. My professional satisfaction comes from establishing the kind of trust relationship with my clients that enables them to share both their hopes and fears for their families. Then together we create an estate plan that accomplishes their goals and puts their fears at ease.
In the formal legal sense, estate planning is the process of getting your affairs in order and determining who will receive your wealth after your death. But my clients tell me that planning their estate is a process that results in achieving peace of mind. Because, with proper planning, you accomplish the following:
If you haven't done any estate planning, you are not alone. A national survey conducted in 2007 reveals that over 55% of adult Americans have done nothing to plan their estate. They don't even have a simple will. What will happen to their wealth when they die? Well, if you don't have a last will and testament, the state has written one for you. The property of those who died without a will is distributed according to the laws of intestate succession.
Estate Planning Is Not Just For Older People
In 28 years of practice as an estate planning attorney the overwhelming majority of my clients have been people over the age of 60. That's a shame, because estate planning is important for younger people as well -- especially families with young children.
I tell young parents to consider this: in the event of their premature death their children will, in all likelihood, be placed in the custody of a family member, usually an aunt or an uncle. But who should choose which one? You, or the probate court?
The peace of mind that comes from knowing who will take your place in raising your children should be motivation enough to do a complete estate plan.
Even more surprising is the fact that only 41% of adult Americans have any kind of power of attorney. They are leaving things completely to chance with regard to who will make decisions for them in the event of disability and what those decisions might be.
To read more of my thoughts on the importance of planning for loved ones, click here.
Why doesn't everyone do estate planning? For a lot of people, it's plain old procrastination. They realize that they have to do estate planning but just can't seem to get around to it. For others, it's a lack of knowledge.
They don't know where to begin.
Whether or not you match either of these descriptions, this web site is designed for you. By coming here, you have taken the first step toward creating a plan for yourself and your loved ones. I hope to provide you with detailed information about all aspects of estate planning, and I will do so in plain English.
While I hope this web site provides you with a lot of information and answers to many of your questions, nothing here is intended to be specific legal advice. Even if you choose to use information on this site you do not become a client of mine. You should always seek the advice of a licensed attorney in your state who specializes in the issues you're concerned about.

In English, when talking about common viruses people often get, there are generally two categories:
- a cold is generally more mild and can come with runny nose, sneezing, coughing, sore throat, etc.
- a flu is generally more severe and can bring fever, chills, fatigue, etc.
In my experience with Spanish, almost all of this tends to be wrapped up in one word: gripe. What are the official and informal ways of referring to these diseases? What words exist in Spanish and what varieties of illness do they refer to? What regional variation exists?

CfM TOOLKIT: Stand Up for Homebirth!
ACOG & the AMA Want to OUTLAW HOMEBIRTH!!
Recent statements from both the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) claim the hospital is safest for birth, attack the training of Certified Professional Midwives, and suggest that women and families should not have the choice to give birth at home. Further, the AMA has recently adopted "Resolution 205" to promote anti-home birth legislation.
These resolutions and position statements against home birth are not supported by any credible scientific evidence, but serve the interests of obstetricians and medical doctors over the needs or rights of women, babies, or families.
Both of these trade organizations have public credibility and well-financed lobbyists, so they have a lot of influence in government, insurance, and regulatory arenas. Legislation and regulations that could effectively restrict access to homebirth in one form or another would not be difficult for them to get through, even in states that already license CPMs.
What WE can do!
TOOLKIT CONTENTS -- Inside you will find more information and resources
· About the AMA & ACOG, About Safety, About Rights and Additional Information
· Main message with supporting arguments & talking points

A California firm is recalling chicken Caesar salad kits sold at Sam's Clubs nationwide for possible listeria contamination.
APPA Fine Foods is recalling more than 92,500 pounds of fully-cooked chicken Caesar salad kit products, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Thursday.
The salad kits were shipped nationwide and sold at Sam's Clubs' in-store cafes according to the USDA.
The following products are subject to recall were in 11oz. clear plastic containers and 6.5-lb. boxes labeled, "APPA Fine Foods/Sam's Club Daily Chef CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD KIT" with case codes 141851, 141922, 141951, 141991, 142021, 142201 or 142131 with use by dates of 8/14/14, 8/21/14, 8/27/14, 9/1/14, 9/3/14 or 9/17/14. The kits were produced on July 4, July 11, July 14, July 18, July 21, July 25, Aug. 1 and Aug. 8, 2014.
The USDA's FSIS and the company said there have been no reports of illnesses, but anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.
Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. The invasive infection can spread beyond the gastrointestinal tract. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and persons with weakened immune systems.
Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics.

LOS ANGELES – Mayor Eric Garcetti said today it is "unacceptable" that veterans wait up to 56 days for their first appointment through the VA's Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System.
"It's unacceptable to have those sorts of wait times," Garcetti said.
The 56-day local wait time was revealed in an audit of more than 731 VA hospitals by the Department of Veteran Affairs, which showed more than 57,000 patients wait for their first appointment within the VA's healthcare system for 90 days or more. The VA has a 14-day goal for those appointments.
Donna M. Beiter, director of the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System, said in a previous statement that the health care system strives to provide the best care possible to veterans, and "we welcome the opportunity for an external set of eyes to look at our scheduling operation and offer recommendations for improvement."
The nationalwide audit released today found that the agency's appointment process caused confusion for schedulers, and that the 14-day goal was unattainable because of growing demand for healthcare and due to planning problems.
Garcetti, who was asked about the audit results at a news conference where he unveiled a program that seeks to employ veterans, said there is already plenty of blame being thrown around.
"There's been a failure of leadership and a failure of resources," Garcetti said. "Who gets punished when that happens? Veterans."
The mayor, who is a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy Reserve, said it is time for the Department of Veterans Affairs to come into the 21st century, like other healthcare providers.
"We need to make sure that they have the resources to hire, to have enough people there and better systems for tracking," Garcetti said.
The audit followed reports that veterans left off a waiting list died while waiting for care in Phoenix.
