The Pentagon's point man for "information operations," Austin Branch, is moving on to the National Counter Terrorism Center.
Branch has led military's IO effort — referred to by some as propaganda — during a period of rapid expansion and, of late, criticism from Capitol Hill. He will be replaced by Mike Banaszewski, who is chief of staff for the deputy assistant secretary of defense for Special Operations and Counter Terrorism, according to Navy Commander Amy Derrick-Frost, a Pentagon spokeswoman.
Neither Branch nor Banaszewski was available for comment.
Information Operations has operated in a gray area for the military, an acknowledged specialty but whose practices are mostly kept secret. Despite the high costs, the programs' effectiveness are hard to prove, according to numerous reports, including one by the Government Accountability Office this spring on what the military calls Military Information Support Operations.
The report, meant only for government eyes but obtained by USA TODAY, described the program as using "information and actions to influence foreign audiences to change their behavior to be favorable to U.S. interests."
Spending on IO rose from $9 million in 2005 to $580 million in 2009, mostly for programs in Iraq and Afghanistan, Pentagon and congressional records show. The budget has dropped as the war in Iraq ended and the draw down in Afghanistan continues. Its recent budgets: $488 million in 2010; $355 million in 2011; $202 million in 2012. Branch oversaw the reduction in spending.
In 2011, USA TODAY published an investigation of the program and found that much of the money was spent on efforts whose effectiveness could not be measured. The programs include leaflets and billboards urging Afghans to support their government. Millions are also spent on radio and television broadcasts and advertisements whose U.S. sponsorship is often hidden from Afghans because, military officials acknowledged, the information wouldn't be trusted if Afghans knew its source.
STORY: U.S. 'info ops' programs dubious, costly
The Pentagon relies heavily on contractors to produce the propaganda, and has allowed the private firms to grade their own work. USA TODAY had found that the owners of the top propaganda contractor in Afghanistan, Leonie Industries, had failed to pay $4 million in federal taxes on time despite earning more than $200 million in contracts from the government. Their tax bills were paid after the story was published.
After USA TODAY asked about the tax bills, fake Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as phony fan-club websites, were set up to disparage USA TODAY reporters. The co-owner of the company, Camille Chidiac, took responsibility for setting up some of the sites but said he did not use company resources in doing so. He had been suspended from receiving federal contracts because of the campaign, but the military lifted the suspension late last year.
The Pentagon's inspector general has undertaken a criminal investigation of Leonie and its owners. The company continues its work in Afghanistan.
In an exit interview in February, then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta expressed doubt about the value of IO programs.
"It's always been tough to quantify, frankly," Panetta said. "I've always been a little skeptical about how much good you can get out of that."
STORY: Propaganda programs hard to justify, Panetta says
The GAO report in April raised more questions about IO's value. It found that the propaganda programs are inadequately tracked, their impact is unclear, and the military doesn't know if it is targeting the right foreign audiences.
Last week, a spokeswoman for Sen. Carl Levin, the Michigan Democrat who chairs the Armed Services Committee, acknowledged that he had sponsored a measure to strip $19 million dollars in IO funding for Pentagon propaganda websites aimed at countering terrorism in foreign countries. The 10 sites are known as the Trans Regional Web Initiative.
STORY: Pentagon propaganda websites under fire
The committee "believes that the costs to operate the websites developed under TRWI are excessive. The effectiveness of the websites is questionable and the performance metrics do not justify the expense," according to the defense authorization bill, which will be taken up by the full Senate this fall. It recommended other government agencies take the lead in efforts to shape the opinion of foreign audiences.

Photographer and blogger Paul of Lavish Livez had some denim style insight from his own closet to impart upon our male readers this autumn, and we were more than happy to hear him out! See his tips and recommendations below.
"Fall is here and Winter is right around the corner. It's getting cold, which means we need to toughen up! Raw denim is my favorite for the fall season, because it's thicker and keeps the cold out (but keeps the style in). I have so many pairs of jeans in my closet (in fact, I have a closet dedicated just to jeans), and the majority of them are raw denim. My girlfriend complains that "they all look alike", but to a real denim lover, like us Denim Therapy readers, we appreciate the unique life each pair of jeans has after years of wear… and too much is never enough! I've narrowed my denim collection down to my favorite four pairs. Check them out for some style inspiration this autumn!"

"How to style these jeans? I suggest updating your accessories collection to include things like fingerless gloves and a serious watch to up the badass factor.
1. Find a good watch. The wrist and hands are the only body parts that are near your jeans, and they move which brings the eyes directly to our hand area. It is very important to complement your denim with a great timepiece.
2. Mix it up with a pair of gloves. These were actually customized for me by my girlfriend—rather than the classic fingerless biker gloves, these put a twist on hand accessories.
3. Shade your eyes. We know that sunglasses are just as important to wear in the winter to protect the eyes, and they just so happen to up the style factor as well. But do you really need an excuse to wear them? Instant cool."
Stay tuned for denim care tips and a round-up of must-have jeans this fall in our series with Paul from Lavish Livez!

This paper discusses various approaches to agricultural education. The "experiential learning" approach has recently been developed for teaching agriculture. Experiential learning is not only based on school knowledge and acquired skills, but also on experience; hence its name. It views learning and the farming environment as "soft systems", meaning systems that are not fixed.
Available in:
There are very direct implications for agricultural education in the area of human resource capacity building since by definition the term (and the process) has education, both formal and non-formal, at its core. In its broadest interpretation, capacity building encompasses human resource development as an essential part of development.
Crop forecasting is the art of predicting crop yields (tons/ha) and production before the harvest actually takes place, typically a couple of months in advance. Several techniques can be used. What is described here is the approach used by FAO in national food security systems. Crop forecasting relies on computer programmes that describe the plant-environment interactions in quantitative terms. Such programmes are called "models", and they attempt to simulate plant-weather-soil interactions. They need, therefore, information and data on the most important factors that affect crop yields - the model inputs. After passing "through" the model, the inputs are converted to a number of outputs, such as maps of crop conditions and yields.

©2003 William Landay; (P) 2003 Books on Tape, Inc.
"Lyrical, keenly observed, and sometimes as dark as a wrong turn at midnight." (Steven White)
"Amazing first novel!"
I was surprised to learn that Mission Flats was the author's first novel, as it reads like it was written by an old pro. Part Spencer, part Harry Bosch, and part like no one I've read before, the author brings you into his world and his story, and keeps you there and, most importantly, makes you care about his characters. The story is compelling, the characters are believable, the ending is surprising. Good job! Can't wait for his next.
I'm no kid, but I do live next to a cranberry bog.
"Good book -- Good author -- Good reader!"
I "read" this book because my wife had bought it and read it. She thought it was, "OK." I thought it was excellent.
The Book: An excellent departure from standard mystery novel formulas. A most interesting story based on two ideas which can engender a great deal of thought -- 1. One action can trigger a series of events that lead inexorably from one to the other and which may be impossible to stop. 2. Good people sometimes . . . I have to stop there to avoid giving away important plot information. I had moments during the plot development when I felt we were going in a pointless (and frankly annoying) direction. But no, we were in a series of events that . . . well, you understand.
The Author: First rate character development and an excellent ear for completely realistic dialogue. On top of that, Landay writes with style and language that clearly says "good writer", not just a "good typist". I've read quite a few books by typists. Come on Mr. Landay -- more books!
The Reader: Sorry, Mr. Dufris, but I was really upset by your opening words in this book. My reaction was that I simply could not listen to this guy through a complete abridged book. Then I GOT IT! William Dufris is an excellent reader. Not just multiple voices (though they are very well done), but multiple personalities. None of the characters were aural characatures. All became real people with real accents, real vocal inflections, real personalities. Scott Brick has a reader/brother.
Do I gush? Yeah, I guess I do. I really liked this book!
"They're both right!"
One reviewer on this site gives "Mission Flats" five stars, another gives it one. Who's right? Well, both are. This is a brilliantly written mystery -- right up there with Michael Connelly. (Hard to believe it's a first novel!!) Five stars for story and style. But the one-star reviewer has a point: the jinks in the plot are so abrupt and extreme that you feel as though you've been in a roll-over accident. Put on your seatbelt! If you look back over the story, though, you'll find plenty of clues and foreshadowing to warn you of what's ahead. A combination of Spencer and Bosch? Yes, it's that -- plus a generous dollop of Agatha Christie at her most devious.
"Should have read the reviews before purchasing..."
Defending Jacob
I purchased one of the authors other books, "Defending Jacob", and loved it. As soon as I finished it, I did a search for other books by him and decided to start with his first. Maybe I should have read some reviews before making that decision...
This book goes on and on with small details about things that just does not matter. I listened to about 3 hours of this book and still could care less about finishing it, and this is very rare for me. Finally, on my way into work today (almost a 1.5 trip one way), I just gave up. Funny thing is I really just don't care even to know the "who, why and where". The only thing I am sorry for is I did not have another book loaded onto my iPhone so I had to finish the drive with the radio.
Given how much I liked "Defending Jacob", I am willing to give the author a pass on this one. If you read this book and liked it (some of the reviews are glowing), good for you. As for me, I wasted a credit and 3 hours that could have been spent listening to something I would actually enjoy and finish.
"good book, bad narration"
I am enjoying Mission Flats. The plot is complex, inviting further listening. The characters, likewise, are compelling, well described, and interesting. I am interested in how they will fair in the end. Landay's written a compelling mystery in a narrative style that is artistic, more than mere pulp fiction. He shares a bit of Dennis Lehane's artistry. The BIG problem with this audiobook, however, is the narrator. He's terrible! It's like listening to John Boy Walton try to narrate a gritty Boston murder mystery. His Boston accent is woeful, utterly unconvincing: I used to live in Boston, so I know a fake when I hear it. His tone of voice, inflections, and pace make the main character, Ben Truman, sound like a bumbling casper milquetoast, which I do not imagine Landay intended, even for a Versailles, Maine rube of a cop on the mean streets of Boston.
"Took a LONG time to get to the surprise ending."
The story was a good one but the author spent too much of the book telling stories that didn't matter to the plot.
I read mysteries because I enjoy the twists and turns of the plot. I love getting the clues right, or getting them wrong if I've been artfully misdirected. I detest being lied to and that is what this author does. Dean Koontz uses paranormal to explain away plot inconsistecies; Landay doesn't bother. He gives us an ending that tells us to ignore all the development of characters we gone through and just accept his contrived, deceptive ending. As a former DA, Landay has held me in contempt. Don't let him do it to you.
"Bad start for good writer"
If you haven't listened to Landay's "Defending Jacob," maybe it's a good idea to start there and work back to this first novel, which is wordy, drawn-out and not quite worth the plot payoff: We are all sinners. Landay is a good writer who delivers on the complexity of his characters, even in this book. About the narrator: I'm from Boston. His Boston is just fine. I think maybe those complaining are confusing the Boston with the Maine. Dufris does both well. He's a recessive style reader, slipping behind the story and driving it forward with subtlety. He never overplays the material, which some readers might find dull. "Defending Jacob" has an ending few if any will see coming. It reaches back to connect all the threads. A great book, and especially good at how little we know what the lives of children are like. All the parents think they're raising wonderful people. Having listened to "Defending Jacob," I was feeling generous during "Mission Flats." I enjoyed having the writer in my head once again, even though the ride was lackluster.
"Not as good as the author's second book"
I am glad I read the author's second book ("The Strangler") before reading this one. Otherwise, I might have never gone past this book. While not horrible, it did meander at times. I disagree with some of the other reviewers who say that the ending was totally unpredictable. In fact, part of my problem is that I did not find it unpredictable enough. Nor did I care enough about the protagonist to care that much what happened to him: "Oh, yeah, right. Whatever." (The author also dismisses some loose ends without much thought.)
As far as the narration, I again disagree with some of the other reviewers (who hated him). I found the reader quite good EXCEPT when he attempted to imitate the Boston accent, making some of the characters (especially the female DA) sound like Elmer Fudd. I happen to live in Boston (not a native) and, trust me, even those with Boston accents don't sound like that.
All that said, I did not hate the book. Again, his second one is much better -- so I might have to go ahead and read his recent released third.
"wonderful story horrible narrator"
Mandalay has a wonderful talent for telling a story; it's it's a true gift. being a kind man in general I can't help but think he let someone read the story that was a friend and he did it as a favor. makes the main characters love interest sounds like she has a bad speech impediment and can't pronounce her R's pronouncing things such as little as riddle. horribly disruptive to a good story. engineers errors : O.G. is of course Original Gangster NOT "old Gangster" which would be a sign of disrespect whereas og is a sign of ultimate respect. also the narrator speaks of Carol and having a love that would stand by him all the way however she turned her back as soon as she thinks that main character has a hand in his mother's assisted suicide. therefore obviously she isn't somebody who would stand by someone unconditionally when she decides that she loves them obviously.

naruto will win ofcourse. it is calle NARUTO, duh. he cant loose. even if he did loose, he'd have to be killed to be stopped, and if that happens, the demon fox will die as well. Akatsuki wont be able to finish their plans.
I don't think Pein can take on the kyuubi without a summon. If he gets stepped on its all over.
And geniusitachi, you didn't answer the question. It's about the kyuubi itself, unsealed.
well seeing as how we know very little about the true capabilities of either, i think that this is impossible to call at this point
We know that the kyuubi can step on ppl. Seems pretty good at that too. Hurl trees with its tails. Bite ppl and claw up the landscape. It's got a pretty good move set to me. Oh and i almost forgot, it can freakin talk lol. And if Shukaku can use a few techniques, I think the kyuubi could use some elemental moves itself.
And then there's Pein. So far, he can switch bodies and has the greatest eyes known to the Narutoverse.
from the thread about legends in naruto it states that kyubi has the fire element, (if the kyubi relates directly to asian legends) can shoot meteors (out of fur?) can fight for at least 100 years without chakra being depleted. if that is similar to kyubi unleashed in Naruto then all kyubi need to do is outlast Pein for one hundred years till he`s old and weak and and capsize from a heart attack... and then step on him.
Is it me or didnt the 4th only seal the ying(or yang cant remember which) and put the oppisite in a scroll which is on its way to naruto? The ninetail is not even at full strentgh. So imagen what would of happen to jiraya of naruto had it complete power

Flames First Round Targets 2013: The Other Guys
Christian Roatis
June 29 2013 05:03PM
We've previewed a bunch of possible first round targets for Calgary to pick at 6, 22 and 28 over the last few weeks and now we've reached the stretch drive - mere hours from the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. But before we let the festivities begin, let's run down a couple other possible targets for
Anthony Mantha
Describing Anthony Mantha as a hockey player is simple: pure goal scorer. The six foot four, 190 pound menace sniped 50 goals for
The most prominent of Mantha's strengths is obviously his shot, which is already considered by many scouts to be an NHL calibre. Mantha also terrorized defenders with his blazing speed. Future Considerations described Mantha at top speed as being "amongst the fastest players straight line in the QMJHL". Quick feet is a big time attribute to have when you're as big as Mantha is (6'04", 190). Ranked 18 by FC, he sits 22nd on Corey Pronman's ranking, saying this about him:
Mantha picks up speed quickly, with a certain smoothness in his skating technique. That skating ability, combined with his 6'4" frame, makes him an intriguing physical package. He does possess some skill, but he is more of a good thinker than a fancy puck handler. He can slow the game down, and he exhibits good calmness, often finding the right plays to make with the puck. He shows above-average ability as a passer. He is a top-end finisher, possessing a bullet shot. When he gets an opportunity to one-time a puck, he winds up high, delivering a lot of weight through the shot. He could use some work defensively, as he is not the most physical of players, but he will bump opponents along the boards.
Mantha has all-star potential - he's a big, fast sniper. Sounds a lot like what Jay Feaster and Co. have been saying they need to add to the team. Mantha could surprise many people and make the jump to the NHL next year - after all he has the size, skating and skill to do so but it's generally a good idea to give freshly drafted prospects at least a year to refine their games in a lesser league. Nonetheless, Mantha would be a solid selection for the Flames at 22 and would be an absolute steal at 28 if he lasts until then.
Adam Erne
Erne is another guy that fits into the "scoring power forward winger" niche that
Ignoring all that, the six foot one, 200 pound winger scored 28 goals and 72 points in 68 games (NHLE of 26), so that's decent. The problem with Erne lies in his offensive potential and transition at the NHL level. Many question his creativity and just plain ability to create offense when the competition gets stiffer. In fact, Copper&Blue published a very interesting article comparing Erne to other players in a similar goals per game rate (between 0.37 and 0.45), points per game rate [between 0.92 and 1.13 (90% to 110% of Erne's production)], who were selected somewhere
When you then look at how those players faired in the NHL any optimism you may have had about Erne, quickly dissolves:
Morgan Klimchuck
The Flames need some feel good stories with all the crap that's been happening and grabbing a good ol'
Although a little slight at 5'11", 180 pounds, Klimchuck has electrifying speed and world class agility that allows him dodge any issues that may come with being undersized. Great vision, tremendous stick work and a rifle for a shot make him a great offensive threat - almost a carbon copy of Sven Baertschi minus the 'nicknameability' (yes I made up that word) of his name and the number 2 ranking on our top 15 Flames prospects board.
Klimchuck's shot is so impressive, it leads Future Considerations scout Zenon Herasymiuk to call it on of the best in the draft - heavy and accurate. Klimchuck sits 21st of Future Considerations ranking and while they agree with everything I mentioned about his offensive skills, they're quick to point out he needs work in the defensive zone. He doesn't necessarily lack effort or ability on D, he just doesn't make an impact on the game in a major way on D. However a take-away here and block shot there can patch that up in a jiffy. Corey Pronman is not nearly as generous when ranking Klimchuck, dropping him out of the first round and dropping him off at 33rd overall, saying this about him:
Klimchuk put up good numbers with not much offensive help in
Good numbers indeed - Klimchuck's 36 goals complimented the 76 points in 72 games he scored this year. While he's not overly big or heavy he is fast and assuming
Andre Burakowsky
Judging by the Mark Jankowski bombshell last year, the Flames aren't afraid to swing for homeruns at the draft. Well they'll get another shot at one this June with Andre Burakowsky. The slick 6'1", 179 pound Swede has been regarded by many as the homerun swing of the draft. He has all the tools - skating, skill, grit - to become a high end NHLer one day but is marred by a couple of common issue attributed to high-octane offensive forwards: greed and lack of defence.
Burakowsky can get caught in "his own world" dancing with the puck and completely ignoring his teammates at times and on defence can show complete lack of interest. Ranked 13th by Corey Pronman, Burakowsky earned rave reviews from the Hockey Prospectus scout:
He gains efficient power from his stride, and he has a great top gear. His skill level allows him to regularly make above-average to high-end dekes and passes. He has the look of a skilled puck possessor with every shift. The extra element of his game is his grit, and one NHL source described his work ethic as equal to his skill level. He has the ability to impact the possession game with his skill and smarts, and he has a knack for pressuring the puck away from opponents. In order to fulfill his potential, Burakowsky will have to get stronger. There are also significant question marks around his decision making, as some scouts indicate he can be a bit of a puck hog. There are some kinks to correct, but his game has great upside, and he can be a top-line player at his peak.
Pronman - again - mentions Burakowsky's lack of team play at times, turning into a "puck hog". Future Considerations, who ranks him at 25, echos much of the same, raving at his offensive skills and upside but expressing concern in regards to his vision and defensive commitment.
Burakowsky earned four goals for 11 points in 47 games playing in Sweden's Allsvenskan (NHLE = 7) - basically a tier down for the SHL - which doesn't seem too impressive for a guy who's bread and butter is racking up points, but his lack of ice time early in the year can be blamed for that.
All in all, Burkowsky would be an intriguing choice for a Flames system that really lacks elite prospects, but he's a much bigger question mark than some of the other options given his low ice time, point totals and incomplete game. He could come over in a couple of years should he add some muscle to his frame and could turn himself into a solid scoring winger in the future. Or, of course, wash-out completely.
The possiblites for Calgary are virtually endless at both the 22nd and 28th position. While I hope and pray they don't go too far off the board, we'll just have to wait and see how the 'Most Important Draft in Calgary Flames History" plays out Sunday in New Jersey.
Flames First Round Targets
- Anthony Mantha
- Morgan Klimchuk
- Adam Erne
- Andre Burakowsky
- Robert Hagg
- Ryan Hartman
- Steve Santini
- Valery Nichushkin
- Nicolas Petan
- Josh Morrisey
- Elias Lindholm
- Aleksandr Barkov
- Sean Monahan
Putting myself in Feaster's position, here is what I think would be in the best interests of the team for today: don't move any picks unless it involves moving another veteran like a Cammalleri and means a pick of greater value returns.
Take as many picks as you can and try to use the trade mania to pique interest in some veterans.
I don't think the Flames should necessarily be hoarding picks in excess of ten for this year, but if they could somehow improve their draft position in a few rounds it might help.

Seguin's not going anywhere. The Bruins would be absolutely nuts to deal him. It's just a few teams have been sniffing around him, and Bob MacKenzie has been sniffing the naptha again.
BOS currently has 5.1 million in cap space. That is with no NHL goalie under contract. So no Rask, Horton, Pandolfo, Ference, and other lesser lights to sign. Seguin would be hard to part with, but if they can get a great prospect or two, it just might be something they have to do to stay cap compliant. That may turn out to be the value in all the cap space that Feaster has built up. BOS can probably compliance buy-out Savard to gain some room, but that only gains 4 million in space.
Agreed, it sounds crazy, but with the cap as it is, we live in crazy times.

Agreed, it sounds crazy, but with the cap as it is, we live in crazy times.
Horton is gone, he's said he's going to try the free agency market. The Bruins have already said they are not going to sign Ference, Pandolfo and Daugavins. They can also place Marc Savard's contract on LTIR (you can't buy-out an injured player) if they have to, which would free up another 4+ million in cap space. One (or possibly even both) of Rich Peverly or Chris Kelly's contracts will be either dealt or bought out.
The only one the Bruins need to sign is Tuukka Rask, and it will get done. The cap space is not a concern; the Bruins have lots of good young players that are ready to step in next season and fill the holes. Trading Seguin for cap space reasons makes no sense whatsoever. They don't need to do it, nor should they even consider doing it.
This is a dynamic young player who has improved every season and is just starting to come into his own. He was one of the best Bruins players in the last two playoff series, worked his ass off and lifted his linemates, who were basically pluggers without him, to the point where they were the best line the Bruins had vs the Blackhawks. He played with grit and determination and showed he's learning some real leadership skills. To give up on him now when he's progressed so far for what is essentially a gamble would be utter folly.

The Wilson Electronics SOHO Wireless Dual-Band Amplifier has been carefully engineered to enhance the performance of your cell phone or cellular data card in small office/home office applications. Its advanced technology is designed to significantly improve voice and data signal quality and reduce disconnects and drop-outs.
How it works: The outside antenna (sold separately) picks up the cellular signal and sends it through a cable (sold separately) to the amplifier. The signal is then boosted and sent through a cable (sold separately) to the inside antenna (sold separately), which rebroadcasts the boosted signal. All of your modems/phones within range of the inside antenna can benefit from the boosted signal wirelessly.
*Many factors will influence the actual coverage area you will see from a repeater, including layout/floorplan, construction, and original un-amplified signal strength. Depending on your situation, you may see more or less coverage than the estimates listed here. It is not possible to guarantee coverage area.

RuneScape is celebrating its twelfth anniversary this very day. The original opened on January 4, 2001, almost a lifetime ago in some ways. The team is promising that 2013 will bring even more gameplay enhancements and they are planning an ambitious year.
As the game begins its 13th year, the RuneScape development team have huge plans for 2013, ensuring that this year is bigger, better and more ambitious than ever before. 2013 promises to be the year that will allow players to experience a faster, pure HTML5-powered RuneScape. To satisfy RuneScape's biggest fans, 2013 will also see the release of two brand new skills; a Grandmaster-level quest, Wilderness Warbands, a Construction skill rework; an improved grouping system; and the ability to customize your own game screen/interface - and that's just for starters.
The birthday celebration will run throughout this coming weekend.
Find out more on the RuneScape site.
Runescape is the best MMO out there at the moment. Good to see it finally getting some well deserved publicity.
And I'm not just saying that because I'm an FMod on the RS Forums
I played the game for years until I logged in one day to find my bank pin was removed, my character naked, and all my gold gone, but strangely nothing else.. Then I found out runescape has no customer support for being hacked.
That probably worked back when it was a small mmo in the old days, but today?
Think I must be the only person on the planet that hasn't played Runescape, happy 12th anniversary!

"The description of these is a little misleading - platform is less than 1", so the heel comes to about 4" high. So these were very uncomfortable for me to wear. However, if you can manage high heels - these are awesome. Amazing look and quality.. I wish i could wear 4" heels :("

Help Local Foster Kids
Over 20,000 Northwest children find themselves living in foster care at any given time, many of which have entered with little to no possessions. Many have suffered the effects of poverty, neglect, and even abuse. Studies show that for many foster children, these challenges are just beginning.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Sleep Country has joined forces with local foster care non-profit partners and our communities in an effort to help Northwest foster kids.
With your help, we can provide foster children with the little things that often make a big difference — school supplies and sports shoes, properly fitting clothing, or a gift during the holidays.
With your continued support, we strive to help foster kids beat the odds. At our official Sleep Country Foster Kids website, you can learn more about our organization, in-store collection drives, create a personal campaign and make an online donation.
Not everyone can be a foster parent, but anyone can help a foster child. ™

Thanks for sharing, going to bookmark this! I had a nightmare trying to get my head around photoshop, i managed to work out one thing and left it at that. I don't find it user friendly at all at times!ReplyDelete
Oh, Amanda, you always make so wonderful posts!ReplyDelete
This is a great post and very helpful - thanks for sharing!
Btw: You said that you are in the middle of a pretty cold winter. I was wondering; how cold is it in New Zealand these days? What is 'cold' in your country (temperature)? I am just curious because I am not that familiar with the clima in NZ... Isn't there a big difference between the weather on the North Island and the South Island? Hope you can make me a bit wiser regarding the clima in NZ... ;-)
Greetings from FarfallaDK - and Scandinavian Summer.
what great finds :)ReplyDelete
photoshop can be a bit daunting when you first get it, but the more you mess around with it on your own the more you'll learn.
Shop Ruche also had a bunch of free photoshop effects on their blog a while ago & have at least one tutorial a week. Worth a look ...ReplyDelete
Kelly @

Hi Amanda! Lovely post as always. I'm also teaching myself PS....I use it every day at work and have sort of self-taught myself the basics. I really want to learn curves so this was a great help! I usually just google the things i need to know - a lot of the self help digital photography websites have PS tutorials on there. Before I started learning PS, I used to cheat using Picnik.com xxReplyDelete
i am at work so i am copying this link as we speak and emailing it to myself for later investigation. my photoshop seems different than most but i hope to get actions working on it some day soon - thanks for the links!ReplyDelete
Your blog is beautiful. i love it now following. hope you'll check my blog out and follow if you'd like.ReplyDelete
love m.

thanks for sharing these tips!!ReplyDelete
im like you, thank god for so much info on the web about photoshop and free actions! ive got a few skills in the editing dep. but i find it much easier to just use the same actions so there is consistency! will definitely check some of these outReplyDelete
Every time I try and learn on my boyfriend's computer he says that I am too slow and does it for me so I don't know how to do very much but having a designer around is helpful :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing. I myself do not know how to use PS either.ReplyDelete
Amanda you should visit deviantart! There are like LOADS of actions there,and most of them are amazing! I've learnt how to use photoshop and curves and layers and all,but I always end up using an action!ReplyDelete

Another great feature to use in Photoshop is all the different blending tools. They can make your photos uniquely colored. My favorite is "hard light". Photoshop is soooo great once you get the hang of it!ReplyDelete
Photoshop is pretty hard to use..ReplyDelete

"I love this wedge! I saw them on the website and had to immediately buy them. They are comfy, although the front does rub my big toe a little bit, however I have this problem with many open toe shoes. They are extremely lightweight and go well with almost anything I try them on with. Definitely recommend them for others to buy!"

Who's out there?

Senior ********* Being The Change I Want To See!

I know we have PM'd a bit about it, but I wanted to ask what is it that you are looking for in a move to the area?
Well, I will need a job, and a safe place to live. I want to live pretty close to where I work and to STUFF (so I can maximize time with my kids).
I am an odd mix of opposites: crunchy AP mom and city girl, mainly. I'm from the DC area and love all of the city stuff--metros, museums, lots of places to work to choose from, festivals. BUT.....I also have an organic garden (for which I have a compost pile), I eat organic mainly, cloth diaper my kids, etc.
Now, I'm in the Tampa area of FL. There is no API chapter, so I'm a leader applicant to start one. Would be nice to move somewhere where I don't have to start ANOTHER chapter. Would be kinda cool to move somewhere where my tribe already lives. So I'm looking seriously into the Triangle area. Maybe Cary?
I would have to make enough to support me & my 3 kids (so cost of living would have to be low).
I love going for walks--love beautiful scenery. Not much of a beach person.
Make sense?

No to Cary if you are crunchy even in the slightest. I am an odd mix too. I miss my NYC home. Roof top and balcony gardens for years! Totally HOA area. You get just a few colors to choose from for your home, no clothes line, no gardens... etc.
The AP community here needs a lot of work. They have other parenting groups that have "controlling" majority of the area and dismiss API in favor of their own agenda, but I am working on changing that. Their own agenda is not AP friendly, but most people don't understand much about AP or API so hopefully once we have more advertising about ,they will come into the light so to speak.
You may prefer the Chapel Hill area or closer to where I am, although I would prefer Chapel Hill or Durham for myself at this point, but we have already invested.
Rent in Raleigh for 6 months to a year and take a good look around before you choose.
What a small world, we (DH, DD and I) are living in DC, we love the area so decided to rent out house instead of sell and we are moving to Durham North Carolina the end of September. I am lucky, my job is allowing me to continue working for them, so I will be working from home or setup a satelite office or something. I was really looking forward to joining the local group there.
I can already tell you I love Durham, Cary is very nice too but a bit pricey, there are many many northerners who live in Cary and it has become the....Georgetown of Research Triangle Park (RTP) area. Though I am partial to Durham as this is where my family lives, both in south durham and north durham. I will reside in south Durham, in a neighborhood right down the street for Southpoint mall. I do love the area.
We lived there from 2004-2006 so my husband could finish up his degree (undergrad degree). We then moved back Spring of 2006, to our house that we had rented then too. We didn't think we would be moving back to NC so soon, but after having my little girl Maddison (December 2007) I just felt a pull to move out of the DC and into suburbs and be around family. We thought (briefly) about moving to suburbs in MD or VA, but housing is so very VERY high here, and moving out where housing is a bit lower would mean the commute would be 1-2 hours NO THANK YOU!!! So home to NC we go.
I will write you again after we move down, and please let me know if you come to the area.

I thought it was a pillow fight
March 25, 2013 18:21:02 Posted at March 25, 2013 18:21:02 Photos:
It's how I read this headline initially:
George Clooney Starts Pillow Fight with Matt Damon
Unfortunately what it actually said was:
George Clooney Starts Snowball Fight with Matt Damon
It's an article on PEOPLE.com. They're in Berlin shooting The Monuments Men. Apparently at some point during the day on Friday, George threw a snowball at Matt and Matt threw one back and then they rolled around on the ground, wrestling in a bed of feathers. That last part isn't true. Unfortunately. But again, it's what I imagined with the headline.
Here they are on set today, no snow, no pillows.

Bills cut Hopkins, Dixon, 9 others
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 25 2014 10:37AM
The Buffalo Bills and the rest of the National Football League had until Tuesday to pare their roster to 75 players. Like many other teams, the Bills elected to make those cuts a day or two earlier than they were required.
The team announced that kicker Dustin Hopkins, quarterback Dennis Dixon, guard J.J. 'Unga, running back Ronnie Wingo, punter Jake Dombrowski, wide receiver Tori Gurley, safety Derek Brim, defensive tackle Damien Jacobs, safety Jajuan Harley, wide receiver Chris Summers and center Macky MacPherson have all been released from the active roster.
The Bills entered Saturday's preseason game with 87 players on the roster. The Sunday release of Alan Branch, paired with the 11 players released on Monday brought Buffalo down to the required 75 by Tuesday.
The next round of cuts is just around the corner. Teams will participate in their final preseason games by Thursday, which prefaces the reduction all rosters in the league to 53 players by Saturday, August 30 at 4 p.m.
The Bills are up against the Detroit Lions on Thursday at Ralph Wilson Stadium for their final exhibition matchup.

The Rebels are riding high. The Reds are only looking fair-to-middling despite their wild-card position. It's hard to say who's likely to win.
The Rebels are riding high. The Reds are only looking fair-to-middling despite their wild-card position. It's hard to say who's likely to win this one.
Logically, the Reds should start this match as favourites but the Rebels have looked good in recent weeks and shouldn't be written off in Brisbane.
The Rebels, fresh off the back of consecutive wins, are reinvigorated. They've been competitive despite the loss of James O'Connor and Kurtley Beale. Their forwards are have vigorously contested the breakdown against highly fancied opposition.
The ability to build sustained possession and tackle effectively has taken them from near misses to victors, and they'll carry their form into Friday's game against the Reds.
The Reds have returned from South Africa winless. Their last win was against the Sharks at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane three weeks ago. They lost to the Cheetahs, falling well-short, losing 27-13.
Their loss against the defensively focussed Stormers saw them score no tries, carried by the boot of Quade Cooper who mustered all their points with five penalty goals.
The Reds will view the game against the Rebels as a chance to right the ledger. With the Blues and the Hurricanes breathing down their neck the Reds need some clean air. They sit equal fourth on the overall table with the Cheetahs.
The Reds need some clean air. Against the Rebels, only a four-try bonus point win will be acceptable. While they have a bye the following round, the Reds will find their season on hold as the Australian test window opens for the British and Irish Lions. They'll want a hefty bump up the standings before the break.
The Reds brand of rugby hinges around the it's principal playmakers Will Genia and Cooper. Scrum-half and fly-half respectively, they provide they provide much of the tactical nous. Genia's quick crisp service, and Cooper's ability to create time and space are key to their success.
Their backline is stocked with plenty of powerful ball runners; most notably Luke Morahan, Ben Tapuai although Anthony Fainga'a has been their most consistent performer in recent weeks.
The game plan from the Reds will be simple; chip away at the Rebels at the breakdown and draw in the loose-forwards, use their powerful inside runners like Anthony Faingaa and Chris Feauai-Sautia around early and spread the ball wide.
The Rebels personnel have finally solidified as a unit but may still be prone to inconsistency. The forwards have become cohesive and confident under the leadership of Scott Higginbotham. Their front row of Nic Henderson, Ged Robinson and Laurie Weeks stepped up to repel a Waratahs front-row laden with Wallabies.
The Rebels have rushed O'Connor back into their line-up. Throwing out the maxim of "never change a winning line-up" O'Connor returns to fly-half relegating Bryce Hegarty to the bench.
The Reds have made five changes to their team from last round. Ed Quirk and Beau Robinson will respectively play on the blindside and openside scrum. Tapuai returns to the run on side, replacing Chris Feauai-Sautia who hurt a hamstring. Ben Lucas, who normally fulfils a play-making role, slots in as fullback for Jono Lance who has a neck injury.
The Rebels defensive, which has been questionable in the past, has finally firmed up. Against the Waratahs last week they held out for 22 consecutive phases before clearing. They'll need a similarly courageous effort.
The last time these sides, met the Reds won two tries to one, but the difference was the Rebels' lack of discipline and Cooper's solid goal-kicking.
Prediction: The Reds will out-play the Rebels. Their depth is greater and their talent is a step above. That said, the Rebels are playing with enthusiasm and raw energy. They might be out-played by the Reds, but they won't be outclassed. Reds by 7 points.
Put your money where your mouth is and make your predictions here!
The teams:
Reds: 15 Ben Lucas, 14 Rod Davies, 13 Ben Tapuai, 12 Anthony Faingaa, 11 Luke Morahan, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Will Genia, 8 Jake Schatz, 7 Beau Robinson, 6 Ed Quirk, 5 James Horwill (capt), 4 Rob Simmons, 3 James Slipper, 2 James Hanson,1 Greg Holmes.

Think Twice Before Purchasing
"I've had these boots for about four months and they are tearing all across the seams. I live in an area that was hit with heavy snow this season so I've put them to good use, but there's no way these should be falling apart already.A previous review also noted that the zippers have a way of getting stuck. This is true and aggravating because it happens all the time.But even if you leave the zippers loose so you can put your feet in, the seams will tear while you try to pull them on. Not only that but the seams inside around the top have also ripped exposing the white stuffing.I can still wear them and they generally do the job of walking easily on snow and ice, but I'd think twice before purchasing..."

"I wore these shoes only about 10 times before they completely fell apart. After the second use, the lining in one of the shoes ripped off. After a few more wears, the bottom on the other shoe started to crack and then eventually cracked completely across the whole shoe making water and snow pour in. Though comfy and warm, they turned out to be completely useless and I ended up returning them because they were defective. DSW was really helpful and gracious about refunding my money though so I have to give them big props. Just don't buy this brand of shoe"

"I wore these to a football game and the temp was in the mid to high 30's, no snow, no rain, just cold and my feet were freezing, to the point my toes were turning numb. Hate to see how they are in the snow.I would give them a 0 or negative, but that is not an option.I am returning them."

*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

Great comfy shoe!!
"I love the color of these shoes they are really very brilliant. They do tend to run a little narrow and short. I think it is because they are designed for support while running on trails. They are SUPER comfy!! I use them just as a weekend shoe for around town and I love them!"

"These shoes are remarkably light in weight and quite comfortable right off the bat. Runs about 1/2 size short (Men's). While Medium width is OK, would probably prefer in Wide.Overall good shoes for the value."
