The photo industry's future? "Another onslaught"
Ed Monahan, director of worldwide strategy for Eastman Kodak Co. , was a recent guest on the Digital Imaging Marketing Association podcast. Some highlights:
On Kodak's selling of its traditional camera film and photo paper business: "We solidly believe in them. We're not shutting down or exiting these businesses. The market for photo paper remains strong." And in fact the company has been making capital investments in those areas, Monahan said.
On the "more for less" concept": "This 'more for less' concept is a fundamental tenet of the industry's future."Sites like Facebook let people share photos instantly, with vast numbers of people, and for free, he said. And consumers now have an assumption and expectation that they can customize and personalize what they want to do, thanks to digital technology. So where does that leave the traditional photographer/photo lab industry? "Honestly I wish I could say we'd seen all the disruption and impact we'll have to contend with," Monahan said. "Frankly, I think we're going to see more changes. When you think about Apple and Amazon and Facebook, they have enormous market caps … and the financial means to invest. While I'd like to say we have seen the worst of it, we're seeing just the beginning of another onslaught."
However, Monahan said, the industry can capitalize on these changes, but it will require vastly new business models. As to what those business models might look like, Monahan said, show up at the DIMA annual conference in January in Las Vegas, when he'll be giving an address.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (352 votes).
In short: Great value, well-organised and good atmosphere.In full: This is my second go at the half-marathon event in Stevenage. A well-organised event by the club (as usual) with a great show of support from the large volunteer group. Definately possible for a personal best time over a reasonably level course. Decent scenery away from the roads and good encouragement throughout. Queuing for the toilets in the last 20 mins before the race start could be more of a pain, but that little niggle is more than made up for with a quality little running shoe trophy/memento for this 25th anniversary half-marathon event. Well done Spartans!Date of review: December 5, 2011
In short: Good for a PBIn full: Well done again for an excellently marshalled race. Pity there was a 10 minute delay at start - no reason given! Marshals encouraging all way round - but little crowd support.Prize giving afterwards appeared rather chaotic and PA system could have been much better.However despite underpasses, a good course for a PB and I would certainly do it againDate of review: November 22, 2011
In short: Friendly, excellent organisation and quickIn full: It's the third time I've run this race and the organisation gets better and better. The course is pretty fast despite the gentle ups and downs, but I've always wondered why the slightly longer lap comes second (surely better phsycologically to have it first?). Thanks to the many marshalls for their unfailing encouragement. The warnings of doom for runners with ipods seemed a bit OTT, but that's a minor niggle and I'll be back next year. ThanksDate of review: November 18, 2011
In short: First ever Half, lovely race for me.In full: What a great race, marshalled to the max!! you cannot get lost even if you tried!! RThe trophy was a greta surprise and currently has pride of place in my front room. Where i run its quite flat so i found all the underpasses very challenging - but in a good way. Everyone (runners and organisers) very friendly. I'll be back next year for sure.Date of review: November 17, 2011
In short: Another excellent event organised by the SpartansIn full: This is the second time I have ran this half marathon, it was excellent the first time and maybe slightly better the second time. The course is very good with potential for a PB. The organisation of the event was superb with coaches taking the runners and spectators to the start line and back to the town at the end. Regular marshalls, water stations and lots of encouragement. The real added bonus that was lacking last year and has made this year slightly better, would be the trophy at the end of it. Excellent event, will certainly be back next year.Date of review: November 14, 2011
In short: Excellent RaceIn full: Plenty of marshalls, weather was just right and the setting was great. Challenging enough in places so it wasn't easy and the hill between miles 6 & 7 certainly made you work!Stadium announcer was great, momento, while unusual, was a nice touch and something different from the norm.I'll be back!Date of review: November 12, 2011
In short: Extremely well organised race.In full: There might have been more marshals than runners! At times it seemed like it anyway.As ever, a very well organised race by the Spartans. Nice start/finish setting with almost a lap of the track to finish the race. The changing/baggage/announcer/everything was excellent! Very well supported by friends/families and the locals. I couldn't see the point of the metal 'shoe' memento though...a shirt would've been better. One of the best races in the area. I'll be back!Date of review: November 11, 2011
In short: Good raceIn full: Good challening race. Not hilly but undulating. Well marshalled and good local supportDate of review: November 9, 2011
In short: Well organised, friendly race over a reasonably fast courseIn full: Hot running water in the luxury portaloos....and minimal queues. Need I say more?Date of review: November 9, 2011
In short: Nice fast runIn full: Fairly flat and fast, only real tough areas are coming out of the underpass's.Well organised and nice track finish in front of the grandstand.Date of review: November 9, 2011

ALBANY – Democratic Assemblyman Vito Lopez said Friday he will resign, not over claims he sexually harassed women staffers, but instead to run for New York City Council.
The veteran Brooklyn lawmaker and onetime powerful borough political boss has been under growing pressure to resign. It became public last year that the state secretly paid two female staffers $103,000 to settle the first sexual harassment claims against him. Two more young female staffers he hired to replace them started reporting sexual harassment, even as the settlement was being worked out last summer.
Two blistering reports this week, from a special prosecutor and the state's Joint Commission on Public Ethics, painted an ugly picture of the 71-year-old assemblyman making unwanted contact with women, but concluded there was no evidence to charge him with a crime in Brooklyn, where the investigation was conducted.
Lopez said in a statement Friday that he was vindicated by the reports and felt "gratified" the special prosecutor and the ethics commission found he committed no crime.
"I expect to run a vigorous campaign on the issues facing the citizens of my community and hope to continue to serve them as a member of the City Council," Lopez said. "I believe that the voters of the community should decide who should represent them."
Meanwhile, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver pressed on to remove Lopez from the Legislature sooner than the June 20 end of the session that Lopez chose.
"Assembly member Lopez should no longer be in public office," Silver's spokesman, Michael Whyland, said Friday. "We will move forward with our resolution on Monday."
Later Friday, his office released a resolution calling on the Assembly Standing Committee on Ethics and Guidance to immediately review the JCOPE report and recommend sanctions. The Assembly is expected to vote on the resolution Monday when it convenes again.
Attorneys for two of the women who accused Lopez say Silver's action is too late.
"Sheldon Silver has tried to shift the focus to Lopez, hypocritically deciding now, 16 months after first learning of complaints about Vito Lopez's behavior, to ask for Lopez's expulsion," said attorneys Gloria Allred, Nathan Goldberg and Mariann Wang in a joint statement. "Silver's decision must be critically examined for what it truly is: yet another effort to cover his own tracks and despicable, power-hungry behavior."
The ethics report claimed Lopez subjected young female staffers to inappropriate touching and comments about their bodies. It claims they also were forced to write letters to him about how much they loved their jobs.
The Joint Commission on Public Ethics says it found "a substantial basis to conclude" Lopez violated a civil law concerning public officials and is forwarding its findings to the Legislative Ethics Commission. That body could lodge a charge against Lopez and send the case to the full Assembly for action.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is also head of the state Democratic Party, repeated his call on Thursday for Lopez to resign or be expelled by the Democrat-led Assembly.
"There should be a zero tolerance policy when it comes to sexual harassment and we must now send a clear message that this behavior is not tolerated," Cuomo said Friday. "Vito Lopez should not spend another day in office, let alone a whole month. He should resign effective immediately and if he does not, he must be expelled."
Silver on Thursday night announced he would send a resolution to the full Assembly on Monday to put Lopez on a trajectory to be expelled, a rarity in the New York Legislature. His resolution also would call for the Assembly to consider sanctions based on findings of two investigations of the allegations against Lopez. The reports were critical of how Silver and his top staff handled the case.
That handling included the $103,000 secret settlement using public money to end the first two formal accusations of sexual harassment against Lopez.
Associated Press writers Rik Stevens and Michael Virtanen contributed to this report.

Two NYPA Employees Receive
Award for Energy-Technology Project
Connie Cullen
printer-friendly version
April 16, 2002
WHITE PLAINSTwo New York Power Authority (NYPA) employees have been honored for
their leadership in the development of HydroTrac, a pioneering device created under
the auspices of EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) for detecting problems in
hydroelectric power generators.
Shalom Zelingher of Hartsdale and Misak Krikorian of Little Neck, director and senior
engineer, respectively, in NYPAs Research and Technology Development unit, received
a 2001 Technology Transfer Award from EPRI for their work on the project, which enables
the Power Authority to more effectively serve its customers.
"Under Governor George Patakis leadership, the Power Authority is committed
to being in the forefront of energy-technology developments," said Eugene W.
Zeltmann, NYPAs president and chief operating officer. "We commend Shalom and
Misak for their accomplishments and encourage all our employees to be actively involved in
industry advancements so we can better help meet the present and future energy needs of
the people of New York State."
"In a time of rapid change, technology becomes a critical factor in the success of
any company," said Hank Courtright, EPRIs vice president, power generation and
distributed resources, who announced the awards at an EPRI meeting last month in San
Antonio, Texas. "The enhanced capabilities fostered by these dedicated individuals
will help their organization provide greater value and compete more effectively in the
restructured energy business environment."
The Power Authority played a significant role, along with EPRI and Iris Power
Engineering of Etobicoke, Ontario, in HydroTracs evolution, from creating the
concept using advances in digital technology to developing and testing the prototype and
the commercial product that is now available through Iris Power.
HydroTrac is a continuous monitoring system for partial discharge (tiny electric
sparks occurring in wiring insulation) in hydrogenerators to detect the onset of equipment
failure problems. This technology has revolutionized this process by providing continuous
information on the generators condition to help avoid costly failures while a plant
is running and allow plant personnel to plan corrective action based on actual conditions
instead of scheduled maintenance.
The HydroTrac prototype was field tested at Power Authority facilities over the
last two years. NYPA is now implementing HydroTrac at its hydro projects, and it is
being instituted by other utilities, in the United States and internationally.
The New York Power Authority is the nations largest state-owned electric utility.
The Power Authority owns and operates 21 generating facilities at 17 locations across New
York State, with a total capacity of over 5.6 million kilowatts. It also owns and operates
over 1,400 circuit miles of transmission lines in various parts of the state. The Power
Authority is a national leader in advancing energy efficiency and the development of clean
energy technologies and electric vehicles.
EPRI, established in 1973, manages science and technology projects for the energy and
energy services industry worldwide.

I have been gigging 2 acoustic guitars with LB6 and a Baggs pre-amps on stage for well over a decade and am very happy with the sound. Infact they've attracted numerous positive comments about the quality of the amplified sound. Generally I've DI'd the guitars straight thru the desk with a flat channel EQ and a little effect. I use the sweepable mid-range regularly to fine-tune to different rooms and PA EQ patterns.
My only problem has been that at the foldback volumes needed in noisier rooms (eg. busy pubs), both guitars feedback in the lower G to B range (98 - 120Hz). My luthier tells me that this is a common resonant frequency in acoustic guitars. You know the scene - you forget to drop the volume on the instrument and saunter off stage to grab a beer and the A string takes on a life of its own until its banging like a barn door in a gale.
I've regularly used a soundhole plug, and this makes a small difference, but not enough. Cutting the bass level on the preamp solves the problem, but it robs the guitar of the warmth that I'm after by using an acoustic guitar in the first place. I've found that cutting that frequency range at the 31band EQ post-desk works best, but it still takes out a big bite out of the warmth of the guitar. I also own a ParaDI and have found that the notch filter on this helps, but still at a high cost to the warmth of the sound. Generally I've got around it by judiscious damping with the heel of my pickin hand - but its not ideal.
Now I wish to amplify a 30yo Maton acoustic guitar for use on stage and I'm keen to get a rich warm sound, but avoid these feedback issues. I'm happy to drill a few small holes in the old girl, but won't be cutting a hole in her side for a pre-amp. From what I gather, either the Anthem or the M80 are the way to go for a rich warm acoustic sound, and are purported to provide a significant improvement in feedback resistance.
The Anthem sounds to me to have a slightly richer sound (this is expected given that it is a mic, rather than a magnetic PU), but what I don't understand is why, with the cross-over is set to 250k (around the open B string), I wouldn't continue to have the same feedback problems as before. ie. the bridge piezo is still in charge of the frequency where it gives me problems with my other guitars.
I like the minimal interference to the instrument of the M80 - but I'll go with the richer tone of the Anthem if it isn't going to feedback at high stage volumes.
Is the M80 less likely to feedback at higher stage volumes that the anthem?
Is it normal for acoustic guitars to be vulnerable to feedback from lower G to lower B?
Have I missed something obvious in the feedback resistance of the saddle piezo pick-ups in my other guitars?
Please excuse the tome

quote Crusad3rThanks for the reply.2. As motherboards go, I'd personally prefer one of these: http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/gigabyte_z77/
3. Unless you plan on overclocking, ditch the aftermarket cooler. If you plan on overclocking, look into liquid cooling.
4. Cut back to a 128gb SSD. You should only be installing Windows 7 on it and some essential programs. It'll save you a good $100. Use that money instead to get a 15000rpm HDD if you're after re-writing speed.
quote Crusad3rWow, I thought SSD's were these high-and-mighty, reliable, "no moving parts, so they'll last forever" thingies.Loading games on an SSD is a big mistake, since games make a lot of rewrites while saving, which drastically shortens the lifespan of your SSD. I've been told that 64gb is too small for a SSD due to rewriting and temporary files, which is why I recommend a 128gb one. Having an SSD isn't really necessary at this point in time unless you're a stickler for loading times.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 5, 2010) – The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team started strong, but could not close out a victory over host Italy and fell 3-1 (14-25, 25-23, 28-26, 25-22) on Tuesday at the FIVB World Championship before a crowd of 9,500 at the PalaLottomattica in Rome, Italy.
The loss gives the United States a 1-1 record (5-2 overall) in the three-team Pool O. The U.S. Men will have to wait for Italy (1-0, 6-0 overall) to play France (0-1 in pool, 4-2 overall) at noon PT on Wednesday to find out their fate.
If Italy defeats France, Italy will stay in Rome to play in the World Championship semifinal round and Team USA will travel to Modena to play against the second-place teams from three other pools for fifth-eighth places. If France defeats Italy, then each team would be 1-1 and their fates will be determined by the tie-breaker, which is the points ratio.
U.S. opposite Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii) led all scorers with 20 points on 15 kills (0.22 hitting percentage), two blocks and a match-high three aces. Outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) added 19 points on a match-high 16 kills (0.22 hitting percentage) and three blocks. Outside hitter Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.) scored 14 points on 12 kills (0.24 hitting percentage) and two blocks.
The large crowd contributed to a very emotional match between the two well-matched teams.
"First of all it was a very emotional match, but Italy is playing at home in a World Championship and there is going to be emotions," U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) said. "We had many opportunities to win the second set and take a 2-0 lead but didn't capitalize."
Alessandro Fei paced Italy with 17 points on 13 kills (.03 hitting percentage), three blocks and one ace. Cristian Savani added 16 points on 13 spikes (0.20 hitting percentage), two blocks and one ace. Matej Cernic scored 12 points on 11 attacks (0.35 hitting percentage) and one block.
The U.S. Men out-blocked Italy 15-12 and had five aces to Italy's two. Italy also had 12 service errors to the United States' 11. Italy finished with 53 kills and a hitting percentage of 0.21 (26 errors, 130 attempts). Team USA had 51 kills and a hitting percentage of 0.23 (22 errors on 125 attempts).
The U.S. was credited with 62 digs and 22 faults on 90 attempts. Italy had 68 digs and 19 faults on 94 attempts. The U.S. Men were credited with 45 "excellent" service receptions and two faults on 75 attempts. Italy was credited with 43 excellent receptions and five faults on 81 attempts.
Among other U.S. scorers, middle blocker David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) scored eight points on four kills, three blocks and one ace. Middle blocker Max Holt (Cincinnati, Ohio) totaled four points on two kills and two blocks. Middle blocker Russell Holmes (Fountain Valley, Calif.) scored three points on one kill, one block and one ace. Setter Kevin Hansen (Newport Beach, Calif.) totaled two points on one kill and one block. Setter Jonathan Winder (Irvine, Calif.) scored one point on a block.
Libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) led the U.S. in digging with 17 digs and two faults on 20 attempts. Stanley was second in digs with 12 and six faults on 19 attempts.
Priddy led the team in excellent receptions with 21 and no faults on 31 attempts. Lambourne added 14 receptions and two faults on 24 attempts.
Hansen was credited with 22 running sets and no faults on 90 attempts. Winder, who played most of the third set, had four running sets and one fault on 19 attempts. A running set is defined as a set from a player that puts their hitter against one blocker or none.
Knipe started Priddy and Rooney at outside hitter, Lee and Holt at middle blocker, Stanley at opposite, Hansen at setter and Lambourne at libero.
Holmes entered the match as a substitute in the third set and started the fourth for Holt. Winder and outside hitter Paul Lotman (Lakewood, Calif.) played as substitutes.
In the first set, Italy took an 8-6 lead at the first technical timeout (TTO), including two kills from Savani. The U.S. scored on a kill and block by Priddy along with kills by Stanley and Rooney. The U.S. tied the score at 8-8 on spikes from Priddy and Rooney. Italy answered with a strike by Sala. But a Rooney kill gave the serve to Lee, who served for four more points including an ace, kills by Stanley and Rooney and a Holt block, to give the U.S. a 13-9 lead. Italy got a kill to pull to within three. An Italian hitting error gave the serve to Stanley and he helped the U.S. score five straight points, including an ace and two kills from Stanley and blocks from Holt and Rooney, putting the U.S. ahead 19-10. Team USA reached set point at 24-13 on a Priddy kill. A U.S. error allowed Italy one more point, but Savani's serving error gave the set to the U.S. The U.S. out-blocked Italy 4-1 and had two aces while Italy had none. Priddy led all scorers with seven points on six kills and one block while Italy's attack percentage was 26 percent.
The second set was tied at 6-6 when the U.S. scored on a Priddy kill and Italian hitting error to lead 8-6 at the first TTO. Italy eventually came back to tie the score at 10-10. The two teams battled back and forth, but with the score tied at 12-12, Italy scored four straight points, including a kill and block by Sala and a Savani block, to lead 16-13 at the second TTO. The U.S. came back with two points on Italy's error and Stanley's attack. Eventually, the U.S. tied the score at 17-17. Later, with the score still tied 23-23, Sala had two straight blocks to give Italy the victory.
Riding the momentum from the second set, Italy took an 8-4 lead at the first TTO of the third set and extended the lead to 9-4. Knipe brought Winder in to set and Team USA used a Priddy kill, Stanley block and Italian hitting error to pull to within two at 10-8. But Savani scored with a kill and then served for the next three points to increase Italy's lead to 14-8. Team USA ate away at the lead, which was 16-12 at the second TTO. Italy's lead was still four at 22-18 when Team USA put together a Rooney kill and Stanley ace to pull to within two. Italy called timeout and responded with a strike by Fei. The U.S. tied the score at 23-23 on Italy's error and a block by Priddy. Then it reached set point on a block by Winder and Holmes. Cernic fought off set point with a kill and a lifting call on the United States gave Italy set point at 25-24. Stanley fought off the loss with a kill, but Sala came back with a strike to give Italy a 26-25 lead. Another Stanley kill tied the score again. But Italy scored the final two points for the victory.
The teams started the fourth set evenly until the score was tied 5-5. A U.S. hitting error and Italy block gave Italy a 7-5 lead. Rooney tooled the block to pull the U.S. to within on at 7-6, but Sala used a kill to give his team the 8-6 lead at the first TTO. A block from Fei made in 9-6, but Hansen got the ball back for the U.S. with a setter dump and Holmes served for four more points, including an ace and blocks from Priddy and Lee and a Stanley kill, to give the United States an 11-9 lead. The U.S. continued to lead by three at the second TTO. The U.S. led 18-16 when a kill by Luigi Mastrangelo gave Simone Parodi the serve. Parodi served for two more points, including a U.S. hitting error and an Italy block, to lead 19-18. With Italy leading 20-19, Priddy got a kill, followed by a U.S. block to take a 21-20 lead and Italy called timeout. Team USA came back with a hitting error and tied the score at 21-21. Italy grabbed a 22-21 lead and the U.S. called timeout, but Italy's block followed by a U.S. hitting error gave Italy match point. Fei had a serving error to give the U.S. life, but Italy ended the match with a block.

wooow a great topic XD
my favorite was epiode 54
where the old lady screams:" sexual harrassment "
then gin-chan says : " your face is what's sexually harrssing people " XD
MU hahahahahaha............... good one...
the Ryuugojuu arc when they turned old men it was stuck in my head "in the end you also played a mega drive?"
and another one was when gin was lecturing shinpachi about strawberry milk
"What? so what if its a little different?!
Dont you know the saying "Everyone's different, and everyone great?"
its not number one, its the Only one
Quit Complaining!
Your badly mistaken if you think you can get by in this world by blaming everyone else.
the world is full of demons
Now Listen Up! this is whats important.
yes, Calcium!
as long as you get plenty of calcium everything will be fine
lol srry for long but this is just a follow up with the anime...this is the quote
Cramming in Exams? Fighting with you parents? That girl you like? A smelly crotch?
Get calcium and it'll all work out!
most of the episode titles are hilariously funny do they count has quotes?... sort of? xP
Moving forward one step at a time.
I know someone already said this, but I think it's funnier with the picture.
Here's some quotes i like from ep 32:
[Gintoki throws a huge barrel onto an advancing Mamushi, and Kondo throws a Justaway onto it to detonate it]
Yamazaki: Hey! Didn't you guys say you weren't gonna fight him?! You went all out just now, didn't you!
Gintoki: Did we say something like that, Gori-san?
Kondo: It's no good, I can't remember. I have amnesia so...
Yamazaki: That's some convenient amnesia there, oi!
Okita: [to the crowd] It's dangerous, so please stand back. You'll end up like this person. He puts on a poker face, but it really really hurts. It's embarassing.
Hijikata: This has really turned into something, hasn't it?
Okita: Your face is really turning into something too, Hijikata-san.
Hijikata: Didn't Yamazaki already die by now?
Okita: Aren't you going to die, too?
and more:
Shinsengumi member: Vice-captain!
Hijikata: Huh?
Shinsengumi member: Some information was just reported. It seems both Yamazaki and the Commander are inside.
Hijikata: What are you saying? Oi, oi, I thought that if it was only Yamazaki inside, I could leave him, but if Kondo-san's there too, we can't do that.
Okita: Hijikata-san. I forgot my flute at the headquarters, so I'm gonna go back and get it real quick.
Hijikata: Right, be sure not to come back again. Damn, I'm sick of you guys, it's enough! I'll go alone, so wait there, you bastards.
Shinsengumi member: Hey! Look at that! Something has come out!
Shinsengumi member: What's that?!
Shinsengumi member: It's a cannon! A big ass cannon has come out!
Shinsengumi member: I-Is that the secret weapon they were working on?!
Hijikata: Sougo, I forgot the protractor at the headquarters, so I'm gonna go back and get it real quick.
Okita: Hijikata-san, it's ok. If you want a protractor, I have one right here
One of my all time favorites is from the Kyubei arc:
Gintoki: "Your young lord is actually your young princess, right?"
Kyubei's grandfather: "I'm surprised, You knew?"
Gintoki: "You can fool others but you can't fool my crotch sensor!" I was laughing for quite awhile
Another is between Gintoki and Tama
Tama: "I am Gintoki-sama's pleasure."
Gintoki: "Eh! That's not right, give a more accurate explaination."
Tama: "To be more precise, I exist to make Gintoki-sama happy by restraining my own desires and obeying orders like siting like this."
*Blank spiteful stares at Gintoki from all the women around him*
Gintoki: "Wait; What? That's not it! That's wrong! She's definitely wrong! All of you are looking at me like I'm some kind of depraved criminal. Like I'm some old man trying to con a young girl into going into a hotel for some illicit purpose, What are you guys playing at?"
That line made my day
Lol. Great topic! I see a lot of fans have their fave quotes... I just have to share mine.
I'm not a fan of Otae but I have to admit, she makes up for her sweet looks and beating up the guys brutally. My fave quote from her: If things could be solved with an apology, there wouldn't be seppuku. (episode 3, when Shinpachi met Gin-chan for the first time and made him lose his job). That cracked me up.
Gintoki: To stop a bully, the best way is to bully him in return. (episode 17)
Kagura: Kneel before me, ignorant masses! ( I think it was episode 23, when she won the ticket to travel in space)
Shinpachi: You can't cleanse everything! There are some impurities that the mind must retain! (episode 23)
Gintoki: Those who can kill other people are just shit-heads who can't see even the pains of others.
Hachiro's mom: Breakfast is what gives you the mental energy to make it through the day.
You should take good care of your pets until they die. You're eyes go bad because you don't eat properly.
Shinpachi: There is nobody like that anywhere! Gintoki replies: No, there is… In Neverland there's plenty of them.
Okita to Hijikata: Let's just endure this for today – drink a liter of soy sauce and die, Hijikata you bastard.
Gintoki: Drinking is a cycle of having control and losing control. That's life.
Katsura to Gintoki: Gintoki, you sure have fallen very low. Gintoki in return: Shut up, I don't want to hear that from a guy who fell at the speed of light.
My all time fave quote is from episode 32, when Gin-chan lost his memories: Idiots in their idiotic way have their own idiotic worries. This one cracked me up!
Of course you can't forget some serious quotes...
Takasugi: A braggart who can do what he brags about becomes a hero. I won't brag about things I cannot do.
Gintoki to Hijikata in episode 9: Pity? If I had enough of that to give to you, then I'd put it over rice for dinner.
Gintoki: The country? The sky? You can have them. I'm just busy protecting what's right in front of me. (episode 3)
Gintama rulse with the mass of quotes and parody! Love the anime! It's worth watching the 175+ epsiodes.
"Paako desu~"
"Stress makes you bald, but it's stressful to avoid stress, so you end up stressed out anyway, so in the end there's nothing you can do." - Gintama episode 53 title
" I am Fruit Punch Samurai G Pleased to meet you(Katsura)"- Katsura in Monkey Hunter episode 122
" I obtained a truly rare item"," I want you to have this as a token of our friendship"[ Obtained a Filthy Antenna ] -Kagura in Monkey Hunter episode 22
" Fruit Chinpo Samurai G! (lol)" Katsura
" Fruit Chinpo Samurai G! Your death was not in vain! (roflmao)" Katsura
Perform a german Suplex to a woman who think she or her job is more important
I think my favorite quote is from Kamui where kagura is all your fight is with me an all and then hes all
Kamui: She's not much of a sister but do watch over her, make her stronger.
I think thats pretty much what he said.
It kinda shows that he cares about her.
Donny: If a country singer breaks a toe they write a song about it! (To Marie)
Favorite quote is from the new arc
Gintoki: Trying to shoulder the burden all by yourself? Don't be a stranger. Weep and ask for help. Lean on me with your runny nose. Cry when you feel like crying. Laugh when you feel like laughing. When you're tearing up with an ugly face, I'll give you a good cry with an uglier face. When you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts, I'll laugh in a louder voice. That's how it should be.
"who wants to save them...but can't stop, my body is not listening to me...
there are strings pulling me back, but there are strings pulling forward as well! (refering to him, kagura & shinpachi's kizuna)
---- Gintoki fighting Bansai, Itou arc (Ep.104):
Gin-san really cares abt Kagura & Shinpachi T.T
" protecting what's important until the bitter end...greater than the brave souls and the Devil, but has no resistance against a girl's tears, that's the so-called Samurai!"
--- shinpachi, (robot maid ep, Tama introduced)
definition of a samurai~ he summed it up very well
Dentist: Nakayama-san and battle fairy Shazzan-san. Which do you want?
Gintoki: Nakayama-san!
Hijikata: Definitely Nakayama-san!
Gintoki: Anybody but Shazzan-san!
Hijikita: And what the hell is that?! Why is battle fairy Shazzan working in a dental clinic?! What the hell is battle fairy Shazzan?!

Hiss's reply
Formed in May 1938 the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) investigated disloyalty among American citizens. It became extremely powerful during the Cold War years and focused its investigations on left-wing political activities, especially on individuals accused of Communist sympathies. Whittaker Chambers accused Alger Hiss of being involved in espionage. Hiss immediately denied the charges and asked the committee if he could testify before them to clear his name.

Jumping in late here, but I love this concept! It's fun to create a custom blend and also fun to read about the other custom blends.
Although being primarily a oolong lover, I was disappointed to find that only the flavored oolongs were offered for blending. A cost factor I'm sure, but I'd be willing to pay more to access the costlier oolongs. That being said, I used the peach in my blend, as it is closest to the natural oolong flavor.
Something that took me by surprise was the email announcement of my tea blend to my contact list. I saw the form there to use that function, but I was very surprised to find that it was also automatically generated. I understand the marketing factor, and it wasn't that big of a deal, other than the surprise factor, but ... I am now hesitant to create any future blends and thus begin spamming my contact list. I would like to see a button to suppress announcements.
Hummm I wonder if my friends will try my custom blend?

close your eyes
ry to see your wedding the way that you've always imagined it. I want to make that image real. I think that often the simplest things in life are the most precious. The most perfect weddings celebrate what is human and imperfect and the occasional hiccup is all a part of the unpredictable energy and beauty of the day. It's what adds to the memory and makes each wedding unique.
I have developed a keen eye for love and discovered that it doesn't always look the way you prepared for it to be. Sometimes it's as much about a granddad howling with laughter at the speeches, or just the aura newlyweds spread around them through the whole day, as it is about the ceremony, kiss or first dance. These are the little moments that I really want to connect to and be a small part of. My passion is to take photographs that are impossible not to smile at. That are impossible to forget. That you look at again and again.
I will work closely with both of you to get to the heart of what you want from your wedding. We will end up with something that you will cherish and which is unmistakably your own. So, if you'd like to meet me then I'd like to meet you. Just drop me a line and let's talk about you, your vision, your story and my photographs.
how I shoot
For me, humour is almost a matter of principle when I'm photographing a wedding, but it's also a tool. A smile is always helpful to get a grumpy page boy to cooperate or the vicar to let me photograph the ceremony from the front (there is no vicar? That's great, humanist ceremonies rock!) I try to be unnoticed and blend in as much as possible when I'm shooting but in practice this isn't always easy.
I often get approached by various guests asking me questions ranging from 'what camera is this and how many photos have you taken today?' to 'do you want a drink?' and 'can I take a photo of you?'. I see this as all a part of the rhythm of my work. The social aspect of weddings is part of what I love most about them. Weddings are all about people – the connections between them and the atmosphere they create.
Getting to know the crowd and the relationships within it is part of telling the story of the day. It is important that I work in the background in order to allow the story to have its own voice – the B&G/bridal party session being the only moment during which I would step in to give suggestions and directions, with a view to capturing the most flattering and creative angles and poses.
the day & beyond
My approach to shooting weddings is very simple, I'd describe it with two words: {absolutely} NO FUSS. You don't have to worry about me, weddings are stressful enough without adding photography to the long list of 'what might go wrong'.
A personal meeting is recommended before booking so that both sides are sure they can spend 12h in each other's company 😉 . The rest of the process happens over email unless we can spoil each other with the addition of the engagement session, of course.
On a wedding morning I arrive usually 3hours before the ceremony and capture the day in a documentary manner, only stepping in during the couple's portrait session (and only if required. If you're happy to just be fabulous without me telling you what to do, which way to turn and where to look – I'm more than happy to follow. Otherwise a little direction is what I offer whilst still keeping things as natural as possible).
What you receive from me is a large collection of unforced, creative, dynamic and as romantic-as-you-happen-to-be, images – a photographic reportage of your day ranging from macro shots of your jewellery all the way to wide angles, contextual captures, portraits, action shots etc…
Be prepared to LOVE THEM ALL. Also, it's probably good to be prepared for your wedding collection to look nothing like anything you've seen before. I would strongly recommend that you do not try to plan every detail of your wedding photography.
Try not to make lists of photographs you want because the chances are that you will end up disappointed when they don't meet your pinterest expectations. Every wedding is different, and every wedding set (even created at the same venue) is different.
Why not leave room for creativity and life? Plan for great things to happen, make arrangements if needed but at the same time stay realistic. Spectacular sunsets or magical summer haze doesn't happen often but if they do, I will be there to make the most out of them. Also – if you're thinking of having a photo of a bridal party being chased by a dinosaur – I'm afraid I'm not the one. 😉

wedding photographers south wales
nd… now we come to the 'little more about me section' also known as 'every wedding photographer's nightmare'…! A long time ago I discovered that wedding photographers often find it incredibly hard to talk about themselves. Close friends of mine as well as other contacts from the creative industry have all confirmed that writing an 'about' section results in a headache of the very worst kind. So, with that in mind, here is my best guess as to what my potential clients would find relevant when looking for a wedding photographer. Currently based in Wales I have spent the last decade photographing weddings across the UK and {far} beyond its borders, but as much as I love travelling I also enjoy the comfort of a local wedding every now and then. Do get in touch if you're looking for a creative and fun wedding photographer Cardiff.
South Wales is an incredible place to get married in. The variety of architecture and land and seascape offers an incredible scope of wedding venues, ranging from historic castles to barns and then from modern hotels to temporary marquees, tipis and festival tents (I've seen it all by now!) and there is so much more to the Welsh landscape than the most obviously picturesque beaches and cliff tops! At this point I suggest you flick through my portfolio and have a look at the weddings I photographed in the spectacular Brecon Beacons, Gower Peninsula, Cardiff and Pembrokeshire coastline to name only a few of the most iconic places I've shot in.
I feel lucky to work in such a beautiful country and from the number of my London & international clients of that choose South Wales as the wedding location of their dreams, I'm guessing I'm not the only one in love with this part of the world.
fter gaining my masters in Architectural and Urban Design from Wroclaw Technical University I worked for a short period of time as an architect before beginning my wedding photography adventure in 2009. I spent 3 years shooting for portfolio and learning the skill to then become a full time professional wedding photographer in 2012. It is fair to say that it has taken over my life ever since. Being a good photographer requires practical and theoretical knowledge of art and design as well as technical skill. What I love so much about wedding photography is that these qualities both depend upon and express something social, intuitive and very human. I have a passion for all things beautifully designed that extends beyond well-crafted objects and photographs to the patterns and balance I find in people's {love} stories, relationships to one another and life. There is something incredibly special about being given the privilege of photographing a wedding and becoming responsible for a person's most precious memories. Apart from weddings I really enjoy the creative engagement sessions that I have prior to the event with my wedding couples. We often develop this into a half-day or day in a meaningful (or just staggeringly beautiful) location, with breaks for food, outfit change and touch ups if required. We laugh a lot and liberate ourselves from all potential worries related to 'being photographed on a wedding day'. I recommend the pre-wedding shoot to everyone who feels non-photogenic or stressed out in front of the camera. It is also valuable to anyone who would simply appreciate some creative portraits with their loved one. If you are planning a wedding destination further ashore take a look at my Destination Weddings Gallery to see a portfolio created under a sizzling sun with breathtaking views and often mind-blowing architecture. Get in touch if you'd like me to quote for a wedding abroad.

While college-educated professionals are thriving, the white working-class is sliding into underclass behavior, writes Charles Murray in Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010. In affluent "Belmont," most people marry before having children, work and obey the law. In working-class "Fishtown," the "founding virtues" have eroded.
Belmont and Fishtown are parting ways, writes sociologist Nathan Glazer in Education Next.
A 10 percent difference between Belmont and Fishtown in marriage rates in 1960 expanded to a 35 percent difference in 2010. In the census that year, only "48 percent of prime-age whites in Fishtown were married, compared to 84 percent in 1969." Related disparities arose in births out of marriage and in children living with a single parent—not much change in Belmont, a great change in Fishtown: almost 30 percent of white births are now nonmarital, up from just a few percent in 1960.
On work, Murray notes the great increase in the percentage of the population on disability payments, from under 1 to more than 5 percent of the labor force, and the growth in the number of prime-age males who are not in the labor force, contrasted with almost all in the labor force in 1960. On chart after chart reporting work behavior, we find stability in Belmont, with almost all males at work, a striking contrast to the large absence from the labor force, willed or unwilled, in Fishtown.
Fishtowners are much more likely to do prison time and less likely to go to church than in 1960.
While 90 percent of Belmont residents vote in a presidential election, only 51 percent in Fishtown voted in 1988, down from 70 percent in 1968, with a modest rise in 2008.
"People can generally be trusted" believed more than 75 percent in Belmont in 1970, contrasted with 45 percent in Fishtown. In 2010, 60 percent in Belmont still concurred, but Fishtown was down to 20 percent, Glazer writes.
Is it a decline in virtue or in good union-wage-paying manufacturing jobs? Murray says virtue. Glazer isn't so sure.
Public schools should "resist the prevailing nonjudgmentalism and try to restore some of the moral authoritativeness practiced in the past and that we see today in many successful charter schools," writes Glazer.

A comparative analysis of on-line and classroom-based instructional formats for teaching social work research
Research comparing courses taught exclusively in traditional face-to-face settings versus courses taught entirely online have shown similar levels of student satisfaction. This article reports findings from a comparative study of student achievement in research skills from classes using two different instructional formats. One group used a classroom-based instructional format and the other group used an online web-based instructional format. Findings indicate that there were no statistically significant differences between the two class formats for eight out of eleven outcome student performance activities and ten out of 13 pedagogical strategies. There were large effect size differences based on class format on four of the student performance activities and for student satisfaction with six of the pedagogical methods. When statistically significant differences were found, it was determined that student performance on learning activities and satisfaction with pedagogical methods were higher for the students in the traditional class. The findings support the conclusions of several studies concerning the effectiveness of online teaching. Limitations and implications for further studies are also suggested.

Topic: Common MVC Pitfalls
Second post here and still relatively new to Rails programming.
I'm interested to know what the most common pitfalls are that new (or seasoned) Rails developers fall into. Specifically I am interested to know the most common issues that arise with MVC. For example, put code in the wrong place etc...

Even though numerous companies are lowering prices on various consumer electronics (CE) and PC hardware, Microsoft Corp. has reportedly decided to raise the price of its Xbox 360 Arcade video game console in the United Kingdom. The reason for the increase is devaluation of the British pound against U.S. dollar and Euro.
Starting the 1st of September, Microsoft Xbox 360 Arcade will cost £159.99 in the UK, up £30 from the current price of £129.99, reports Eurogamer web-site. In addition, Xbox 360 Arcade will no longer include five free XBLA games in its bundle. Moreover, Microsoft will also increase the price of individual accessories for the Xbox 360 game systems, it is claimed.
According to reports, the reason for the price hike is devaluation of the British pound against Euro and U.S. dollar. The motivation seems to be somewhat strange since the price of the Xbox 360 Arcade is already higher in the U.K. compared to the U.S. Still, in mainland Europe the cost of the console is even higher at the moment. Moreover, exclusion of free games from the bundle seems to be a very anti-consumer move, considering the fact that after the price increase consumers in Britain will pay for the console more than gamers in Europe or the USA.
At present £129.99 equals to €152 or $215, whereas the recommended retail price of Xbox 360 Arcade is €179 in Europe and $199 in the U.S. Apparently, Microsoft does not want to drop the price of the Xbox 360 Arcade in Europe, despite of the fact that it costs $253 here, but prefers to increase the price of the entry-level X360 to £159.99, which equals to $296 or €187.
Although video game retailers have confirmed the price hike in an interview with the media, Microsoft itself yet has to confirm and comment on the move.

Children of mothers with iodine deficiency during pregnancy are more likely to have lower verbal IQ and reading scores at 8–9 years of age

Commentary on:
Implications for practice and research
Children of mothers with iodine deficiency during the early pregnancy have an increased risk of impaired cognitive development at 8–9 years of age, even after adjustment for potential confounding factors.
Among iodine-deficient women, the child's cognitive scores showed a downward trend with a decreasing maternal iodine intake.
Further research is warranted to confirm the present findings.
Iodine deficiency is one of the leading causes of preventable brain damage. Although the relationship between maternal severe iodine deficiency and impaired cognitive function in children is well-established, less is …

Comments about Learning Resources Primary Science Color Mixing Lenses:
My four-year-old and I have been working on learning about mixing colors lately. We've played in paint, mixing blue and yellow to make green. We even used droppers to place drops of watercolors on coffee filters and watch the colors run into each other, creating a beautiful tie-dye effect. We've had lots of fun learning about colors, but when we received the Color Mixing Lenses from Learning Resources (one of their new 2013 products), He really seemed to get a better grasp on the concept. The unique way the Color Mixing Lenses work allow your child to "see" in color!The Color Mixing Lenses set comes with a large sturdy lens frame (shaped much like a magnifying glass), and three colored lenses (red, yellow, and blue) that slide easily into one of the three slots on the side of the main lens piece. You can use one lens, or mix and match to create different colors!This product gives your child a new perspective on colors, and my four-year-old has had a blast looking at everything through his color lenses!Geared toward ages 2-6, the easy-to-use Color Mixing Lenses give preschoolers a unique way to learn about color combos.*I received this product free of charge for the purpose of review.*
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Eurocopter's quest for speedNovember 22, 2010 by Tim McAdams
In the 1980s, Bell and Boeing Helicopters began developing a twin-turbo shaft military tilt rotor aircraft called the V22 Osprey. Bell then teamed with AgustaWestland to develop a commercial version known as the BA609 and it achieved its first flight in March 2003. During this time the helicopter industry was excited about VTOL aircraft reaching higher speeds. However, Eurocopter was quiet about its plans only saying it had no plans to develop a tilt-rotor aircraft.
On September 6, Eurocopter began test flights of its high-speed, long-range hybrid helicopter concept, which combines vertical takeoff and landing capabilities with fast cruise speeds of more than 220 knots. Called the X3, it is equipped with two turbo shaft engines that power a five-blade main rotor system and two propellers installed on short-span fixed wings. The engines are RTM322s, which power the company's NH90 military transport. The main rotor gear box is a derivative of the yet-to-be certified EC175 medium size twin helicopter with a modification of two output drives for the propellers.
In cruise flight the rotor pitch is reduced to provide minimal drag and the small wings provide lift. Thrust comes from the propellers. There is no tail rotor so yaw and anti-torque are controlled by a standard pedal configuration that varies the thrust on each propeller separately. The aircraft can be flown like a traditional helicopter until 80 knots, then the main rotor pitch is reduced as the propeller thrust is increased.
According to Eurocopter, the hybrid aircraft will cost about 25 percent more per hour to operate than a conventional helicopter. However, with the increased speed the company points out that when measured in a per passenger/mile basis the operating costs will drop 20 percent. The X3 is currently a technology demonstrator, but Eurocopter says the concepts could be ready for production models in less than a decade.

Walker reaffirms 250,000 jobs goal; sets sights on mining legislation
MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker reaffirmed his commitment Tuesday to creating 250,000 new jobs in the state by 2015.
Marking the midway point of his first term in office, the governor delivered his third State of the State address in front of lawmakers in Madison.
While Walker admits the state is behind the pace needed to reach his campaign goal, he says it's not out of reach and getting there starts with passing a mining bill as soon as possible.
"We have the potential for a billion and a half dollar investment here in our state that could lead to as many as 3,000 construction-related jobs and 2,800 long-term jobs," said Walker, surrounded during his speech at one point by engineers, carpenters and millwrights.18146738
They joined the governor in helping make a pitch for mining legislation that would pave the way for a new iron ore mine in northern Wisconsin. Pointing to a large Wisconsin flag, he noted that the image of a miner is on the state seal.
"If any state can move forward with a way to streamline the process for safe and environmentally sound mining, shouldn't it be the Badger State," said Walker.
Democrats have concerns about scaling back environmental regulations to open a new mine. They're also questioning how soon any new jobs would even be available.
"Jobs tied to the mining industry and the mine up north are years and years down the road. There will be years to permit this," said State Sen. Jennifer Shilling (D-La Crosse).
"We have to go beyond just looking at a mining bill. We need to make sure we bridge that skills gap so that employers that have jobs have people with skills who can take those jobs," said State Rep. Jill Billings, (D-La Crosse).
Walker used the address to defend controversial reforms put in place during the last session involving benefits for public sector workers. He says those helped turn the state's $3.6 billion dollar budget deficit into a $342 million surplus.
"Today, unlike the federal government and many of our neighboring states, we have a surplus, which will allow us to invest in our priorities," said Walker.
Lawmakers from both parties say job creation remains the top priority the next two years. Republicans say they're glad Walker is still shooting for his 250,000 new jobs goal.
"I think we should be. We got to get our residents back to work and get our economy turned around," said State Rep. Lee Nerison (R-Westby).
"We're turning things around. We're heading in the right direction. We're moving Wisconsin forward," said Walker, wrapping up the 30-minute speech.

Yesterday, TeaChatters indicated during hard financial times, less good tea was the way to go. You can still vote and discuss this topic.
Welcome one and all tea drinkers. It is still going to be crazy hot around here, but I plan on joining everyone here for tea...let's share what is in our cups today, all day. If you need to, you can reflect back on your TeaDay.
Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic is a reversal of yesterday. You suddenly have more money! Do you get more tea or better tea...or the best tea bar none. Or maybe nothing changes tea wise.
Any tea...any price...no rules...but it must be TEA...
I am as always looking forward to sharing tea with everyone today. Bottoms up, refill, repeat often.

Collecting Modern: Design at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Since 1876
Kathryn Bloom Hiesinger2011
304 pages
48 b/w + 251 color illustrations
10 3/4" x 12 1/4"
Hardcover The Philadelphia Museum of Art was founded in 1876, after its home city hosted the Centennial, with the primary goal of acquiring important examples of contemporary design and decorative arts. Collecting Modern explores for the first time the development and significance of this extraordinary collection, making unprecedented use of the Museum's archival resources, much of which has never been published. This overview reveals changing attitudes toward collecting over time, as Philadelphia (historically a conservative city) and its flagship museum were confronted with the dramatic aesthetic shifts heralded by modernism. From being the largest institutional collector of Tiffany glass in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, to coaxing Florence Knoll Bassett out of retirement in 2005 to design her own exhibition, the Museum has made a unique contribution to the history of design through its collections and programs. Providing a thoughtful analysis of the Museum's history as a steward of contemporary decorative arts, this beautiful publication is a vital reference for anyone interested in the history of museums, decorative arts, and design. About the Author
Kathryn Bloom Hiesinger is Curator of European Decorative Arts after 1700, Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Pacific viperfish
The Pacific viperfish, Chauliodus macouni, is a predatory fish that lives in the abyssal depths of the deep sea. In daytime it can be found from 200–5000 m below the ocean surface. At night it swims up into shallower depths of less than 200m where food is more plentiful. Pacific viperfish will mostly eat crustaceans and small fish. They typically reach lengths of up to 1 foot and are considered an example of deep-sea gigantism. It is believed that its first dorsal fin's photophores are used to attract prey.
Pacific viperfish can be characterized by its large mouth, long fang-like teeth and long dorsal fin ray (as much as half its body length). They are iridescent dark silver-blue color in life with pale fins. They can also be a light black color with blue fins.

Liberating students to discover the power of their voice? Sharing personal narratives? Every child an "author" writing for an audience? "Like so many of our earnest and most deeply humane ideas about educating children in general, and poor, urban children in particular, this impulse toward authenticity is profoundly idealistic, seductive, and wrong," writes Robert Pondiscio in The Atlantic.
As a fifth-grade teacher at a South Bronx school, "I used to damage children for a living with that idealism," he writes.
P.S. 277 didn't teach its low-income students to use correct grammar and sentence structure, or to correct their mistakes. That sort of literacy instruction rediscovered by New Dorp High School in Peg Tyre's The Writing Revolution, was considered stifling.
Every day, for two hours a day, I led my young students through Reader's and Writer's Workshop. I was trained not to address my kids as "students" or "class" but as "authors" and "readers." We gathered "seed ideas" in our Writer's Notebooks. We crafted "small moment" stories, personal narratives, and memoirs. We peer edited. We "shared out." Gathered with them on the rug, I explained to my 10-year-olds that "good writers find ideas from things that happened in their lives." That stories have "big ideas." That good writers "add detail," "stretch their words," and "spell the best they can."
Teach grammar, sentence structure, and mechanics? I barely even taught. I "modeled" the habits of good readers and "coached" my students. What I called "teaching," my staff developer from Teacher's College dismissed as merely "giving directions." My job was to demonstrate what good readers and writers do and encourage my students to imitate and adopt those behaviors.
Reading and writing instruction had become a Cargo Cult, Pondiscio writes. Go through the motions of being a writer to be a writer.
But good writers use their knowledge of the world, their big vocabularies and their command of language conventions to write vividly and persuasively, he points out. Children growing up in language-rich families may pick up these things by osmosis; everyone else needs to be taught in school.
"When our students resist writing, it is usually because writing has been treated as little more than a place to expose all they do not know about spelling, penmanship and grammar," observes Lucy Calkins, probably the workshop model's premier guru. She is almost certainly correct.
This leaves exactly two options: The first is to de-emphasize spelling and grammar. The other is to teach spelling and grammar. But at too many schools, it's more important for a child to unburden her 10-year-old soul writing personal essays about the day she went to the hospital, dropped an ice cream cone on a sidewalk, or shopped for new sneakers. It's more important to write a "personal response" to literature than engage with the content.
"The unlived life is not worth examining," Pondiscio writes. Furthermore, "teaching disadvantaged children the mechanics of writing, and emphasizing evidence over anecdote, is liberating not constraining."
Young people who've mastered grammar are more likely to become writers capable of self-expression, he argues.
Also: Great writing comes out of great ideas.

Our "Photo of the Week" comes to us from the Secretary's official photographer, Michael Gross, and shows U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton meeting with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Chair of the National League for Democracy and Member of Parliament from Kawmhu Constituency, at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. on September 18.
Later that day, Secretary Clinton introduced Daw Aung San Suu Kyi at the United States Institute for Peace as "someone who has represented the struggle for freedom and democracy, for human rights and opportunity, not only in her own country but seen as such around the world."
Secretary Clinton also delivered remarks on September 19 at the U.S. Capitol, where Daw Aung San Suu Kyi received the Congressional Gold Medal. Secretary Clinton recalled, "Seventeen years ago, as we were in Beijing on behalf of the UN Conference Concerning the Rights of Women, we thought about many of the women around the world who could not be with us but whose presence was a strong message of the values that we were promoting, values that were not just American values, but universal values. Madeleine Albright left that conference in Beijing taking with her a poster signed by all the Americans and a few others who we gave the opportunity to sign to take that poster to Burma to give to Aung San Suu Kyi, to let her know once again that there were many of us around the world supporting her in her cause, remembering her personally."
Secretary Clinton continued, "I am so deeply moved by what she has stood for and what she has represented, first and foremost for the people of her country, but for people everywhere who yearn for freedom, whose voices deserve to be heard. But I am also very impressed that she was not satisfied upon the release from house arrest to remain an advocate, a symbol, an icon. In many ways, that would have been the easiest path to take, because if anyone understands how difficult politics is anywhere in the world, it is all of us in this chamber today. The to and fro of making decisions of compromise, of reaching agreement with people that you don't agree with -- and in her case, people who were her former jailers -- is a great testament to her courage and fortitude and understanding of what Burma needs now."
Secretary Clinton concluded, "So as we honor her, a time that many of us feared would never happen, it's good to recognize that one phase of her work may be over, but another phase, equally important, is just beginning. And that the United States will stand with her, with the President of Burma and those who are reformers in the executive branch and the legislative branch, with the activists, with civil society, as they fan the flickers of democratic progress and press forward with reform. And we wish them all Godspeed."
Dr. Karen K. in California writes:
I clicked on to this picture sidebar and the article about Secretary Clinton, because I have read articles over the years during San Suu Kyi's house arrest. She was not allowed to visit her dying husband. Articles about Clinton and she meeting in Burma were quite moving to me. And now to see them together in the White House and San Suu Kyi receiving the Gold Medal of Honor is miraculous; symbolic of change too, in the Burmese government, and increasing freedom for it's people.
Patrick in Maryland writes:
As the ship turned, he said " keep her steady ,and we will all get there some day". There's no turning back now ! hehe
Eric in New Mexico writes:
For a government to fear democratic change to the point they encapulate that fear in the form of putting a voice for freedom under house arrest...thinking to imprison change itself,...is neither logical nor effective.
Rather the whole process produced the strongest argument possible for change to become inevitable as the voice carried despite its caged self.
And so inspired all of us.
Thank you, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

I thought today would be the best day to go on a tyrade about the sports teams in which I have the deepest hatred for. These aren't just rivals, these are teams that make me physically sick to talk about, read about, or God forbid watch on my television.
#1-Notre Dame football-The most over hyped, over rated, over everything team in sports. I hate their fight song, their fat over rated coach, and that f'ing leprechaun! They are greedy bastards who are scared to join a conference because they wont EVER get vastly overpaid for getting their ASSES WHIPPED in a major bowl game like they have 8 years in a row! Wake up the echos my left nut! F them!
#2-Steelers-The favorite team of the toothless, jobless, hilljacks from the worst city in the USA. Not to mention all the front runners here in Y-Town! When they win, the players talk shit about everyone and everything. When they lose, they whine like little girls and bitch about everything. Any grown man who refers to another grown man as "Big Ben" sounds like a homo to me!
#3-Duke B-Ball- How can anyone root for these spoiled rotten trust fund babies? E.I. Christian Leattner, Grant Hill, and Jason "the Original Kellen Winslow" Williams. The absolute worst is when they fall down and yell like little bitches and get charge calls.
#4-Yankees-They are all that is wrong with Major League Baseball.
#5-Michigan Football- I respect the program because of the rivalry. But I wouldn't be a true Buckeye fan if "Hail to the Victors" didn't make me vomit.
