My grandfather (yes, grandfather) came to Pumpkin Creek, Montana from Wedel, Germany (just outside Hamburg) around 1920 in search of the great American dream. In those days, immigrants were just so happy to be in America, they gave up close ties to their home countries, learned English, and became Americans. He died when my dad was only 9 so no one could ask him much about where he was from. So to Wedel we went, knowing finding anything would be like a needle in a haystack.
Chad was patient while we went to the cemetery (where we found my grandfather's sister) and to the Rathaus (courthouse in German) where a very nice lady looked through censuses from 1860, 1864, and an address book from 1904
It was an emotional trip for me, as not surprisingly, we were the only Hagedorns around and it felt like we had no ties, so to find some was great. Standing on the street in Wedel, I realized just how far it was from our little ranch on Pumpkin Creek and what amazing courage it must have taken a man in his 20's to set off alone for America. Sure glad he did...

Art prints & frames, handmade in England since 1982
Born on 16 September 1935 in Lahore (part of British India at the time, now in modern Pakistan) to British and Portuguese parents who were in the indigo-planting trade, Gerry Baptist was educated in both India and England. Baptist believes that the vibrant colours and energy manifested in his work are influenced by the mystical vivid images and magical colours that he experienced whilst growing up in India.
Baptist studied painting and graphic art at Walthamstow School of Art and the London College of Printing under the tutelage of artists and designers such as George Chapman, Ruskin Spear, John Ward, George Adam and Harold Bartram. After completing his studies, Baptist worked as an art director for advertising agencies in England and Germany, and continued to develop his skills as an artist, painting large-scale expressionistic abstract drawings and paintings from life.
In later life, Gerry Baptist has painted landscapes of electric bright colours that certainly have a psychedelic quality to them! The earth can be bright purple while skies appear in warm shades of magenta in Castle on the Hill, while Heat of the Afternoon depicts a pink pathway with crazy green shades signifying stems of grass. Fauvist influences combined with impressions of travel in Southern Europe inform Baptist's landscapes.
When he works, the artist uses his camera as a sketchbook, documenting and taking notes of his subject. This enables Baptist to create a set of reference images that captures the changing of light and enables him the ability to seize a fleeting moment, a glance, an expression or the spontaneous changes of the environment.

Oh rainy day, what should I play? If you're anything like me and you appreciate the ocassional dark skies and leisurely fall of rain, your playlist is probably a reflective collection of moody and somewhat somber tunes. On days like today, Classical, Film Scores and Jazz reign (pun intended).
How about a little music from the film Magnolia's soundtrack:
Keeping with film scores, nobody does gloomy and melodic better than Philip Glass:
Often lumped in with the French Impressionism of Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy, Erik Satie's hauntingly simple music evokes nostalgia and memory:
In her heyday, Billie Holiday's singular style was unmatched in expressing the depth of human emotion:
Two titans of modern music, Aaron Copland and Benny Goodman:

...when it comes to business 'friendly', how many think Obama is the same as Bush? So this may come as a surprise!
Cost Of New Regulations Under President Obama: $448 BillionWritten By:
Rob Port
Sep 19, 2012
The high cost of big government:
Ignoring all non-major rules with costs in 2009, the regulatory tally still surpassed $61 billion. In 2010, counting only major rules, the regulatory bill rose to $160 billion in lifetime costs. AAF began tracking every proposed and final rule in 2011. That year alone the Administration published more than $231 billion in regulatory costs. AAF reviewed 6,705 regulations in 2011 and has tracked more than 4,700 regulations to date in 2012.
The most costly government agencies in 2012 alone are Health and Human Services (which has an estimated regulation burden of $16.7 billion), the Environmental Protection Agency ($12.1 billion), the Department of Energy ($10.6 billion), the Department of Justice ($6.9 billion), and the Securities and Exchange Commission ($6.2 billion).
If you dont think this is having an impact on the nations economy, think again. Earlier today I posted about a report showing the rate of job creation from start-up businesses is the lowest under Obama of any president on record.
The cause? High taxes, tax uncertainty and burdensome new regulations according to the report.

I'm so tired of being non-patriot if I think that wasting young mens lives and taxpayer dollars on wars that can't be won. Killing a bunch of people does not change attitute...they still don't like us.
It is nothing against the men and women fighting if I don't agree that we should be at war. They are getting paid to suit up and fight, and they knew that was possible when they enlisted.
Most republicans I know don't believe in the wars either, mainly because now they think their taxes are going up because of them. Easy to be patriotic when it has no personal cost, like money or your life.
On another note, I'm tired of being told I'm not a Christian because I'm a democrat.
I don't agree 100% with the democrats agenda, but I agree more with it than I do the republican.
When I think of these wars, I think about the families that have lost their children, so military contractors can make more sales. What a waste!
Losing 1 life is too many. The cost of a life cannot be measured. Yes I served, Yes I lost comrades.
So with action, and lives lost you were able to maintain your lifestyle? I would gladly give up my "lifestyle" for any of those who gave their lives. I could care less about paying 4+ a gallon to bring them back, whether I knew them or not.
Those who put their @$% on the line to keep America great paid for all of our "lifestytyles" by giving their LIFE

~Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted~
On something that is affecting your part of the world...I'm pro-union. I've seen what union busting will do first hand here in southeast Texas, so be carefull not to lose rights.
I use to be anti-litigation too, until I was the f@#kee and the f@#ker screwed me royally. So for twenty years, I voted away my rights and then I had no one to blame but myself when when I needed the courts help.
So don't buy into the state can't afford collective bargining. Even though it does not impact you directly, there will come a day when you need those rights.
All this talk of Republicans and Democrats is making my head hurt...it really is.
It doesn't really matter who is in power, the government is going to screw us over one way or other. Those that are in power will do EVERYTHING they can to stay in power. There are a few power brokers in Washington right now and they manage to keep that power because they manage to do enough things to keep getting reelected, or like Tammy Baldwin, Democratic Congresswoman from Wisconsin, just happen to reside in a very liberal college town of Madison, Wisconsin (not that she has any power). We should have kept (pragmatic) Feingold (first Dem I ever voted for) and got rid of her but that is another story.
In any case, here is what needs to be done. Back in the late 18th century, there was a little conflict on the Eastern Seaboard. You guys are all probably familiar with it. The American Revolution. We need another one, today. We need to remove the people in power and replace them with people that actually care about the United States of America. I realize that people are going to die in this revolution or civil war or whatever you want to call it, but there really isn't any other choice here. Unfortunately, Americans don't have the stomach to do this so do this.

Ever heard any Palin interviews?????????????
And you think these 2 together were qualified to run our Country??????? In 2009 we were on the verge of going into a depression. Thankfully we never made it that far. If Palin had any say in how things were to be run we would be smack dab in the middle of another war now with the goings on in the Middle East.
I think the only reason Bush and Cheney were not impeached was because of who was next in line (Nancy Pelosi) for the Presidency.
Here is more that I just came across. It seems McCain's economic advisor was architect of the Democrats Stimilus plan which McCain would have most likely followed his advise.
Economist predicts GOP cuts would cost 700,000 jobs
A report by economist Mark Zandi from Moody's says that Republicans' plan to cut spending would cost 700,000 jobs through 2012, the Washington Post reports.
Republicans, however, are pushing back, trying to discredit Zandi (who was an economic adviser to John McCain's campaign), calling him the "chief architect" of the stimulus.
"When considering the latest study from Mark Zandi on the GOP's efforts to rein in government spending, let's not forget that he was the chief architect of the Democrats' failed stimulus plan," wrote Brian Patrick, a spokesman for Majority Leader Eric Cantor. "Even as unemployment climbed into the double digits, Mr. Zandi continued to defend this failed policy. It shouldn't come as a surprise that he would come out against the GOP's common-sense efforts to put an end to more stimulus-style spending."

Binghamton University program uses laptops to change teaching, learning methods
Binghamton University professors Paul-William and C. Beth Burch want to see more laptops in middle schools and have made it their personal goal to see that every student in their local school district is armed with a wireless notebook computer….and teachers love the idea!
Getting the laptops into the kids' hands is all part of a program called Enhancing Education Through Technology (E2T2), which partners Binghamton University and the Binghamton City School District (BCSD). Funded by a $1.3 million dollar grant from the New York State Education Department, E2T2 integrates technology into instruction to improve the learning and teaching methods of middle school math and English students.
The long-term goal, according to Beth Burch, is "to create a climate where students are engaged in learning so they come to school, stay in school and do well in school. We want them to be better prepared for high school and we want them to be able to engage their environment through technology."
The grant has funded 120 iBook laptop computers and dozens of specially equipped carts at Binghamton's East and West middle schools and the Broome County Urban League. In addition to the wireless laptops, each cart has a wireless hub, projector, printer and digital cameras, creating a mobile, wireless environment.
Students can type essays in Microsoft Word, take digital pictures and create slideshows in iPhoto, design and present PowerPoint presentations, conduct Internet-based research, generate and understand graphs and charts in Excel, and create and edit movies in iMovie.
As the children study with the help of their iBooks, the Burches study them; specifically, how the new technology changes the way they learn, and ultimately how the process will affect their test scores in math and English. Many teachers note that students who tend to be the most disruptive also tend to be the most productive when engaged in the E2T2 program.
John Whalen, a sixth grade teacher at BCSD'S East Middle School, has integrated E2T2 into his classroom and is already witnessing improved attendance and participation. "My students really look forward to using the computers and are more focused when they are used on a given assignment," he said.
According to Whalen, positive effects may also be evident outside the classroom. "Students are given the opportunity to use state-of-the-art computers which are used in the professional world on a daily basis," he said. "They are using the computers to display knowledge, share information and enter data, the same skills expected of them in the workplace."
The partnership also involves Binghamton University graduate students who are preparing to become teachers. Masters of Arts in Teaching (MAT) students Christopher Compson and Rachel Bell serve as research project assistants for the E2T2 grant. It has given them an intimate understanding of the schools where they work and has increased their contact time with students and teachers.
"As a result, I have many ideas about how I will integrate technology into my own classroom to prepare my students to enter the work world or the world of higher education — ready to use the tools necessary to excel in either environment," Bell said.
"(The graduate students) have had the unique opportunity to be 'in' the classroom without being 'of' the classroom — that is, they can observe and learn and then draw apart and reflect," said Paul-William Burch. "They have the luxury to be somewhat objective, but they are still able to be right there and work directly with students."
In return, the graduate students have helped teachers learn about new technology, conducting mini-sessions on how to incorporate technology into lesson plans. In addition, the graduate students provide much-needed technical support.
"Teachers have cited this as critical to their use and success with the computers because constant, available troubleshooting relieves them of the feeling that they are left alone with unfamiliar, and at times confounding, technology," said Compson.
But the training is just one facet of the support E2T2 offers teachers. In addition, after-school workshops, a daily listserv, on-line participation in Blackboard, and technical and educational support provide building blocks for teachers.
So, while students learn computer skills that will help them prepare for the future, teachers learn to combine curriculum demands with the increasing influence of technology.

I Love My Flip Pal!

I've been doing a lot with my heritage photos lately, and have a turn of the century photo of a great-aunt. It has been in the same frame for years and years, so I was afraid to try and remove it. I just did 10 separate scans and stitched them together. I scanned everything, inluding the frame. Can't wait to play with it in PSE9 and then work on a LO!
Posted 25 February 2012 - 01:43 PM
Sounds great Becky. Looking forward to seeing your LO!
Posted 25 February 2012 - 04:59 PM
More info please Becky...what's a Flip Pal?
Posted 25 February 2012 - 05:08 PM
A Flip Pal is a portable scanner. Here's a link from the SG Blog page: Flip Pal

Thanks TeeCee!
Posted 26 February 2012 - 05:24 AM
Ooooooooh Becky I can't wait to see how it came out, this is exactly what I'm wanting to do with a couple of large pictures my Mother has - one of my Great Great Grandfather and one of my Grandmother when she was a baby in 1906 - that I definitely wouldn't even think about taking out of the frames.
Posted 26 February 2012 - 09:05 AM
I love my Flip-Pal too! The only problem is that when I take it anywhere, suddenly everyone has something they'd like for me to scan for them! LOL I don't mind - it's fun........and I do recommend that they all buy one! I haven't a bad thing to say about the Flip Pal - it's been a great tool to have!
Posted 27 February 2012 - 11:02 AM
Thanks for sharing the link, Theresa! I haven't been around enough (or had a brain enough!) to check this thread again. After I start the dishwasher and get some laundry going, I'm going to reward myself with some scrapping time. *g*
Posted 27 February 2012 - 01:48 PM
I just posted my LO using the scanned photo.

Haiti: Group of 'Political Champions' pledges support for disaster resilience
22 April, 2013
With the upcoming rainy season only weeks away and the hurricane season fast approaching, an informal group of UN leaders, international organization heads and government ministers has visited Haiti to highlight the need for action to be taken to make the beleaguered country more resilient to disasters.
"Disasters are a fact of life, but their impact should not be," said UN Humanitarian Chief Valerie Amos, who travelled to Haiti with the co-chairs of the Political Champions for Disaster Resilience, UNDP Administrator Helen Clark and UK Secretary of State for International Development Justine Greening.
"Helping the Haitian people and their Government build back stronger, safer and more resilient to disasters must be at the heart of our thinking."
The group of Political Champions was formed in 2012 to promote a resilience-based response to climate and natural disaster related crises. During the visit, the group met with senior Government officials, community leaders and representatives from civil society and the private sector, to discuss ways of making disaster risk reduction and management a critical priority for investment and development in Haiti.
"Haiti is overexposed to natural hazards," said Haitian Prime Minister Laurent Salvador Lamothe. "The Government is fully committed to put all necessary efforts to find sustainable solutions. (We) hope that the Political Champions initiative will help channel the necessary resources and energies to strengthen national capacities to prevent and manage the impact of disasters."
On Sunday (21 April), the group visited a government-led project in Jean Baptiste, a neighbourhood in Port-au-Prince that was devastated by the 2010 earthquake. The project is part of the Government's 16/6 initiative to relocate families in six camps back to 16 rehabilitated neighbourhoods. They saw first-hand the steps the community had taken, with Government guidance and support, to limit the danger of future disasters, including the building of a wall to protect against landslides and floods.
"This retaining wall was prioritized by the community when carrying out the community planning exercise," explained Gay Borgela, a member of the Community Platform of Jean Baptiste, an official group of local representatives who have been trained to help identify risks and define rehabilitation priorities.
This project is just one example of how aid organizations and the Government are trying to build resilience in Haiti. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is supporting efforts to build a 'disaster proof' agricultural sector that can serve as a buttress against the country's chronic food insecurity. In schools across the country, thousands of young Haitians and their teachers are learning about earthquakes and other threats.
This type of 'whole of society' approach to disaster risk reduction is critical, explained UNDP's Helen Clark.
"Responsibility for disaster risk management does not lie with disaster managers alone," she said. "It is rather a concern for everyone – from citizens to political leaders, to the private sector and civil society."
Haiti is recognized as one of the most disaster-affected countries in the world. In 2010, a devastating earthquake claimed over 220,000 lives. Even today, an estimated 1.5 million people still require basic humanitarian assistance. Factors such as poor urban planning, high population density, environmental degradation and poverty conspired to amplify the earthquake's impact. Until they are addressed, these factors will continue to exacerbate impact of other disasters including cyclones, floods and health crises.

Like any piece of equipment some user training and experience helps. Usually with about 2 minutes of proper training any novice user can be taught to effectively activate the simulators. They are much safer than standard popper loads and don't require any cleaning.
Best advice is try one for yourself and form your own opinion. Odds are you won't be dissappointed.
They are a bit of a PITA to juggle and there is a learning curve to timing the shot so that the 5-6 second delay between beginning the charge and actually firing does not become a problem. That aside, the cost per shot is low, the sound is a little less directional, but just as loud or louder than a popper. Much easier on the ears than a 22 starter pistol; not as nice as a popper gun but, given the quality of a lot of the guns and the poppers, more reliable.

I don't own one, but people in our training group have them so I've used them.
The previous comments were old so I thought I would add mine.
The simulator works great. Nice loud "boom." In my opinion the problems with the strap, bent mapp canisters, and ease of use all get better if you put the strap over your shoulder with the canister facing to the front.
I've never seen their instructions and maybe that's what they say, but it just works better for me that way.

I've used these a ton. (two seasons of SRS events) We did the first event with these with a crew of 5 kids that were 15 and 16. The learning curve for the kids was about 5 minutes and a dollars worth of gas. Boy they had fun, and if these kids couldn't blow them up they won't explode. Kids treated them as potato guns shooting all kind of stuff (which I don't recommend but a golf ball can be shot about 150 yds if you can balance it in the tube)
The smaller mapp gas cans are easier to handle and I actually tested with all kinds of gas and even the cheap propane for heaters work. The only issue I had was one of the four we had had an igniter that wasn't consistent so whoever had this one had to be prepared to push the button again quickly.
Given a choice of these or poppers I'll take these.
My 8 year old does walking singles with my Thunder 100. For those who say they are hard to use maybe he can show you how to properly use it.

Most of the evening was spent in the ER, because Max had burned himself with a pair of tongs. As far as we can tell, he stuck them in the flame on the stove, then touched them to his cheek. We spent over two hours waiting, then the doctor looked at him for about 10 seconds. In any case, it was only a partial thickness burn, so with some antibiotic cream it should heal up nicely.
Stamp idea from Bram
Bram gave me a really nice gift this afternoon: an optimization for the bandwidth and storage consumed by stamps. Basically, his idea starts with stamps of value 2^k, then lets them get split in half up to k times.
In my previous thinking, a stamp contains some random bytes, an issuer id, connection info for the issuer (ip address and port), and an expiration time. When a node creates a new stamp, it uses /dev/random or whatever to make the bytes. Then it stores the stamp in its own database, and "issues" it to a peer, who may then trade it around the net. Finally, it gets sent back to the issuer for "redeeming". At that point, the issuer checks to see that the bytes are in the database (and haven't been redeemed already by someone else).
Bram's idea is simple (one of those "why didn't I think of that myself" ones). Stamp entropy is the root of a k-high tree. For each node in the tree with entropy k, the left child is AES_x(0), and the right child is AES_x(1). Now, instead of an opaque random block, you have a tree id (can be random; is shared by all nodes in the tree), a path (sequence of 0 and 1 bits to choose left and right nodes, respectively), and the result of the hash.
It's a nice technique, and it'll almost certainly be in the prototype when I finally release it. But what makes it a nice gift is that Bram obviously understands what stamps are all about and has been thinking about them.
Haiku licensing
Aaron Swartz has beautiful haiku explaining free software licenses (there's another one linked, but it's not relevant to free software):
MIT: take my code with you / and do whatever you want / but please don't blame me
LGPL: you can copy this / but make modified versions / free in source code form
GPL: if you use this code / you and your children's children / must make your source free
Aaron has placed these in the public domain. In other words:
I could even lie / and say I wrote it myself / the author cares not
Big companies
Somebody (I don't remember who, they've scrolled off the recentlog) said "that large corporations and free software are interested in" me. Sure, I can't help the fact that my altruism benefits these kinds of entities in addition to real people, but the fact doesn't excite me. When dealing with business entities, I prefer a business relationship; I provide them with something of value, they pay me money.
Free software licenses don't promote this goal, but dual-licensed GPL libraries are consistent with it. I recommend the approach highly, and plan to do most of my future work under it.
Graphs are not a precise model for software food chains
David McCusker writes:
Another exception related to performance occurs with caching. A reverse proxy server depends on an origin web server for content, and yet can serve that content faster than the origin web site when either of two things occurs. First, the proxy might be on a better network than the origin web site. And second, the proxy might have content cached most directly in the form for serving.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not overly attached to my theory, but I'm not sure this counts as an exception. Yes, the proxy depends on the origin server for content, but it might also make sense to say that the origin server depends on the proxy for efficient distribution of that content. Here, I don't think a graph edge says enough about the relationship.
Fault-tolerant techniques like RAID are a clear example, though. Here, the dependency relationship is a clean edge. The disk is clearly at a lower level than the RAID cluster, yet disk failure is hidden. Disk bandwidth has a linear relationship with bandwidth at the higher level, but the cluster has better bandwidth than the individual disk. When it comes to latency, though, everything is hard-limited by the disk.
There's another aspect in which simple graphs aren't a powerful enough model. A simple Unix utility may have only two dependencies: to a kernel, and to a C implementation. However, the kernel could be Linux or BSD, and the compiler could be (say) gcc or lcc. So we have four edges, but they're not all the same. The real structure is two groups of two.
An analogous situation occurs in food webs. To a first approximation, food sources are interchangeable. But again, there is structure. Humans need both starch and protein. It doesn't matter whether the starch is wheat or rice, but a diet of starch and meat is considerably more complete than one of two starches.
So a graph is an interesting starting place, I think, but it is an oversimplification. It would be very interesting to see whether people trying to apply network theory to other domains are developing more sophisticated models. I'm not aware of any.
Psyco vs Parrot
I feel that my last entry was a bit unfair. After all, Psyco and Parrot are both speculative projects with the potential to vastly improve the performance of dynamic scripting langauges, but also with a significant risk of failure.
Even so, my gut feeling is that Parrot has a solid chance of success, while Psyco is much more speculative. Parrot is based on fairly conservative ideas. There's a lot of literature on virtual machines, and the Parrot people seem fluent in it. By contrast, the Psyco webpage and distribution contain absolutely no references to any related work (that I could find). Maybe it's just my academic background, but it strikes me as a red flag.
In any case, I wish both the Parrot and Psyco teams huge success. Having to choose between multiple high-performance dynamic languages would be a good problem to have.

Decades ago, Mrs. Johnson recognized that our country was losing its natural landscapes and beauty. As much as 30% of the world's native flora is at risk of extinction. The Wildflower Center is intended to help conserve the biological richness of North America. To Mrs. Johnson it was clear that native plants are critical to regional identity – they tell us where we are in this great country.
Under her influence, the President passed multiple laws protecting wildflowers and the environment. He also passed bills beautifying the environment by planting trees and flowers.

Hillary Rodham Clinton. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Monday, March 18, 2013 4:08 PM
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton's embrace of gay marriage suggests she is weighing a 2016 presidential run and trying to avoid the type of late-to-the-party caution that hurt her first bid.
Her chief Democratic rivals endorsed same-sex marriage as much as seven years ago. The position is widely supported by Democratic and independent voters.
Clinton's move may render the issue largely settled among Democrats in 2016 if she decides to run. But things could be vastly different in the November 2016 general election.
The Democratic nominee is virtually certain to support same-sex marriage while there's a strong possibility the Republican nominee will not.
That could be a problem for the GOP. A new poll finds that 58 percent of Americans support gay marriage.

A Look at the Top Contenders in the K-1 MAX Japan -63kg Tournament
- Written by Dave Walsh
The K-1 MAX Japan -63kg tournament is rapidly approaching, and luckily for all of us, we'll be able to watch it live streamed on the internet. As the talk about the top prospects starts to heat up online, the debate is to which fighter will come out victorious in the tournament. The Final 8 will meet each other and one man will be crowned the champion, and out of the field there is a lot of competition. KRUSH Champion Ryuji Kajiwara takes on youth sensation Masaaki Noiri, last year's finalist Yuta Kubo takes on Kizaemon Saiga, Koya Urabe takes on YUKI and HIROYA takes on last year's champion Tetsuya Yamato.
So the field in the Final 8 is stiff enough as it is, with all 8 men having their own impressive histories. But each fight will tell its own story, so we take a look at the possible outcomes of the Final 8 fights.
Ryuji Kajiawa vs. Masaaki Noiri: Noiri is young, like half as young as Kajiwara. Kajiwara's victory in the KRUSH -63kg tournament came as a shock to everyone, as he was able to usurp Koya Urabe to take the title. Noiri on the other hand is one of the brightest prospects to come out of the the K-1 Koshien system, who after his run in that tournament went on a rampage in the kickboxing world. Noiri is still lacking a little bit of polish that could make him the tournament champion, while Kajiwara has been around for years and has the skill and discipline to take the fight to Noiri.
Yuta Kubo vs. Kizaemon Saiga: Saiga is a frustrating fighter, as frustrating of a fighter as a pretty boy can be. Saiga has a few impressive wins to his credit, but after receiving a lot of attention his focus seemed to be shattered and a string of losses and disappointments ensued. Yuta Kubo on the other hand is young and has made it far in two major tournaments now. Kubo put on some of the most exciting kickboxing fights of 2010 and to his credit is powerful and pretty technical. I think it is clear that Kubo takes the wind out of Saiga's sails.
Koya Urabe vs. YUKI: YUKI is a solid fighter, with some really solid power and moderate skill, but in the realm of this fight against the fighter who has to be one of the absolute favorites, Koya Urabe should take this fight in his sleep.
HIROYA vs. Tetsuya Yamato: HIROYA is the first KOSHIEN Champion from 2008 and is known as K-1's golden boy for many reasons, he has taken a few decisions that many have credited as "gifts" in K-1 events and has put on some moderate displays of technique as well as look absolutely terrible. He was chosen to be the successor to Masato but it is clear that for him to live up to such high standards he would need years more of refinement or K-1 to pull as many strings as they could to raise him above the field. Yamato was the man who took the -63kg tournament last year in a surprise run, who has had little luck with Muay Thai fighters and can show flashes of brilliance as well as flashes of absolute disappointment. I think he wants to prove himself here and will be ready to fight with HIROYA and become the two-time champion.

I used to copy the name of each item I used in a LO (copied from the layer name) and paste it into the file info, and I have recently started to list the product (collection, brush set, etc.) rather than the name of each item. For example, In my recent LO Bubble Beard, I put the names of the individual items in the file info (ACU_SqueakyClean_Paper_Yellow, ACU_SqueakyClean_Bubble_Cluster_Shadow, ACU_SqueakyClean_WordArt_CertClean, ACU_SqueakyClean_Bubble_White_Shadow, ACU_SqueakyClean_Bubble_Blue_Shadow, ACU_SqueakyClean_Border_Tile, ACU_SqueakyClean_Duck, ACU_SqueakyClean_Alpha) Now I'm starting to put the name of the collection instead. (Armi Custodio's Squeaky Clean Collection). I try and remember to put the product names for styles, actions, and fonts too.
I'd be interested to hear what you all think of this and if you have a preference as to how you'd like to see the info.
Posted 05 September 2011 - 10:33 AM

So do your layer names have the collection/filename on them as well? I usually just label them "frame" or "flower upper right" or "blue mat" or "yellow ribbon."

For me, I just keep track on a piece of paper what I am using and then type it into the description of the file info. I just name the whole unit of whatever parts I used, just like you see in the newsletter of the products used for the LO.
There always seem to be many different ways to do things, and it is kind of trial and error to see what works best for you.
Posted 06 September 2011 - 06:37 PM
I use a notepad file open at the edge of my screen to record the file names of the items I use. Then I can copy - paste them into the EXIF or the caption in the gallery.
Great idea! That would take one step out of the way I have been doing it.
My only problem would be when my computer starts getting sluggish and persnickety. Me thinks I have too many fonts, brushes, etc. bogging PS down. Need to heed the advice of one of the newsletters and get a font manager.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
Ex-trooper Chris Hughes' supervisors are under scrutiny by the FBI over abuse allegations brought by the public, the state's top law enforcement official says.
Usually, public complaints about troopers go through a series of up-the-chain reviews, but not in this case, said Albert Santa Cruz, Mississippi's commissioner of public safety, who oversees the Mississippi Highway Patrol.
"This was not the norm – we called in the FBI," he explained last week.
Santa Cruz, a former Biloxi area trooper, took over at the Department of Public Safety in February 2011.
Hughes, 41, will be sentenced in a few months after he pleaded guilty recently to depriving a woman of her civil rights while he worked as a trooper, legally termed "under the color of law."
The woman was slammed to the concrete floor and stomped by Hughes when he took her to the Lee County Jail after he arrested her Oct. 14, 2007.
He was indicted just a few days short of a five-year deadline for prosecution. State deadlines to file criminal charges had expired.
Hughes faces up to 41 months in federal custody, although Senior U.S. District Judge Neal B. Biggers Jr. will make the final decision.
A recently filed federal civil lawsuit against Hughes and Officers X, Y and Z claims to document seven incidents in which Hughes beat or otherwise mistreated motorists he stopped on north Mississippi roadways.
These alleged incidents range from 2007 through July 16, 2012.
Today, questions remain:
• Who were Hughes' supervisors?
• Did they know about the beating allegations?
• If they did, what did they do about them?
Friday, an official MHP response terms questions like this "a personnel matter" not likely to be answered anytime soon because of an "ongoing federal investigation."
Sheriff Jim Johnson is the top man over operations at the Lee County Jail in Tupelo, where the 2007 beating occurred, two other incidents are alleged to have occurred and a fourth recognized as serious enough to take the arrested person to North Mississippi Medical Center for treatment of a broken jaw.
"At the end of the day, the FBI got the case," Johnson said about at least one of the incidents.
The Lee County Adult Jail receives those arrested from throughout the immediate region and the arresting agents range from MHP to small, local police forces.
A video camera system Johnson said he had installed in 2004 records much of what goes on in the facility, including bookings as arrested persons are brought in.
"Any time there's a incident inside the jail, it's documented," the sheriff said.
Johnson said that whenever someone complains about their treatment, his staff members listen to the complaint and then refer the person to the agency whose officer is the focus of the complaint.
That's what happened after the Hughes incident in 2007, he said. No complaints ever came from the woman at the center of the jail beating or anyone else associated with her.
But once his staff realized "there was a situation" with an MHP trooper, Lee County's chief deputy contacted Hughes' immediate supervisors, reportedly Master Sgt. Steve Hood or Capt. Jeff McNeese.
MHP investigators came to Johnson's office, picked up a copy of the jail video of the incident and that was the end of it, as far as any more interaction with the Lee County Sheriff's Office, Johnson said.
Years went by.
Sources close to MHP, who asked not to be identified, say perhaps sometime in 2008, Hughes was transferred to the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation as a sergeant, but he was back as a trooper at least by 2010 when one of the alleged beatings reportedly occurred.
"The next thing I heard about it," Johnson said, "the FBI contacted us.
"The FBI asked for the video and we turned everything we had over to them," Johnson said. "You trust other agencies to look into the behavior of their own employees."
That wasn't the last Johnson heard about Hughes, though, he said.
In May 2012, Tupelo High School teacher Matilda Moore came to Johnson's office with a complaint about her treatment by Hughes.
Moore claimed that on the night after THS graduation she and a friend were stopped at an MHP roadblock and they admitted to consumption of a small amount of alcohol.
They were taken to the jail, where the nearly 64-year-old Moore insists Hughes "began to threaten and assault me."
She was advised to take her complaint to MHP and an attorney called for a copy of the video. She also wrote a two-page letter to the MHP district office in New Albany.
Johnson said Moore came back for a second visit and had an MHP complaint packet with her.
"That's the last I heard of it," the sheriff said.
Looking over the recent civil lawsuit accusing Hughes of multiple incidents of abuse, Johnson said the four are a lot.
"It looks like a pattern," he said, although he had no answers about why nothing official came from any incident except the one in 2007.
Moore did not respond to a Daily Journal email asking for an interview.
Santa Cruz echoed Johnson's view of what happens with complaints, saying the first person to be notified by MHP would be the trooper's supervisor, a master sergeant. Then the complainant is sent a form to be filled out, notarized and returned to MHP.
For many, the process stops before the form is filled out. But for those who persist, MHP continues its efforts, Santa Cruz said.
"If they go to the trouble of getting it notarized, they really feel they have been wronged," he said.
Most complaints are handled at the district level, the DPS chief said, which means not many of them rise to the top echelon's attention.
The FBI declined to comment on questions about the Hughes investigation.
But Santa Cruz said when the FBI began its examination of the Hughes complaints and spoke with alleged victims, "things just snowballed" and more information came their way.
While the DPS chief admits he isn't privy yet to what the FBI has or will learn, he says they surely are looking at who knew about the Hughes incidents and what actions they took about them.
In Hughes' Feb. 25 plea agreement supplement, which is mostly standard language in federal cases, he signed the document agreeing to cooperate with the U.S. attorney and any other agents who want to interview him about what he knows. He also agreed to take a polygraph test, if requested.
Other public documents tell part of the story, although they mostly state the perspective of the alleged victim and standard legal denials by the Mississippi Highway Patrol.
In one federal case that worked its way to a settlement, the Mississippi Legislature approved payment to William T. Brann of Belden, who claimed Hughes and others used "unreasonable force" to arrest him Dec. 31, 2007, in Lee County.
Brann claimed Hughes beat him in the head repeatedly and fractured his skull, causing permanent brain damage.
In the end, the federal judge dismissed Brann's claims against MHP and Hughes in his "official capacity," but retained Hughes as an individual defendant.
On Feb. 21, John A. Hawn of Saltillo filed a federal civil lawsuit against Hughes and listed the 2007 and Brann incidents among six others he claims Hughes abused as a trooper. None of the listed "victims" could be found or, if so, returned requests for comment.
Sheriff Johnson is quick to say he doesn't condone improper behavior by law enforcement with the public.
But he also knows how a rowdy, drunk or stoned, verbally abusive driver could trigger a bad reaction from the law enforcement officers who stop him or her.
Whether anything more will result from the FBI's continued investigation is anybody's guess, said Johnson, Santa Cruz and others who know about the case.
Retired Col. Michael Berthay of Saltillo, who was MHP chief during much of Hughes' career, is on private work in Afghanistan and did not respond to a Daily Journal email last week.
One immediate supervisor, Master Sgt. Steve Hood, died in a 2009 roadway mishap.
Lt. James Brown, who was a captain when he received Moore's 2012 complaint letter, was out of state and could not be reached for comment.
Capt. Jeffrey McNeese of Itawamba County, now retired from New Albany Troop F office, out of which Hughes worked, did not respond to a Daily Journal call for comment.
Answers appear unlikely at least until the FBI investigation is complete.

International Advance University Credit (IAUC) Program > IAUC Information for Parents and Students
How IAUC Works
The IAUC program is designed for students who are planning to enroll in a global university. The program provides the opportunity to earn university course credit while completing secondary school. Tuition is offered at a lower rate than what a traditional university student would pay.
Saint Louis University partners with international secondary schools to offer quality university credit at a discounted tuition rate to your child. Your child will learn the same course content as a student sitting in a classroom on our physical campus. The courses are taught using the same syllabus and textbooks used here at Saint Louis University.
Depending on the number of courses offered at the secondary school, the student could potentially earn full semester(s) of university credit before beginning his or her on-campus university studies. Many other U.S. universities also accept IAUC credit.
Admission Requirements
Students must be in good academic sanding and proficient in English.
Students who are successful in the IAUC course(s) are offered general admission to SLU. The university may require students to take additional steps and/or meet specific academic standards for admission to certain programs.

This question is for all you custom call makers out there.
I recently had a custom slate call made for me because I quite frankly could'nt get a good sound out of any of the off the shelf slates out there.
Now, I have an off the shelf Primos box cutter box call. It does a decent job of calling in birds, and I was wondering if it was worthwhile to upgrade to a custom box call. I have to admit that price is what is really holding me back. I have priced them, and they seem alot more expensive than custom pot calls.
Is it worth it to get the custom box, or should I stick with what I'm using? Is there much of a difference from custom vs. off the shelf box calls?

Overzealous British media prompt overzealous backlash

As Alan Rusbridger appears Tuesday before the Home Affairs committee of the U.K. Parliament to give evidence regarding the Guardian's coverage of surveillance activities by the U.S. and U.K. governments, British journalists and analysts say that newspaper's legal troubles are worrying in large part because they come against the backdrop of increased regulation and scrutiny of the wider industry.
Nairobi, February 5, 2013--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the conviction and prison sentence handed down today against a Somali freelance journalist charged with insulting the government by interviewing a woman who said she was raped by government forces. CPJ calls for the sentence to be overturned and for reporter Abdiaziz Abdinuur to be released immediately pending appeal.
Dear President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud: We are writing to express our concern about a Somali journalist who has been imprisoned since January 10 for interviewing a woman who claimed she was raped by government soldiers. We are also concerned by recent statements you made in Washington indicating your administration will not tolerate negative coverage by the local press. We urge you to ensure the journalist is released immediately and to follow up on your commitment to create a task force to investigate Somalia's unsolved journalist murders.
Nairobi, January 11, 2013--Somali authorities should immediately release a freelance journalist who has been in custody in Mogadishu since Thursday for interviewing a woman who claimed she was raped by government soldiers, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.

Things is a delightful and easy to use task manager. You'll get started in no time, entering and organizing your to-dos. You'll discover how Things truly makes you more productive. And soon you'll realize that achieving your goals comes more naturally — one to-do at a time.
Things Cloud stores your to-dos and keeps them updated on your Mac, iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. All you have to do is turn it on in Things' Preferences.
After that, every change you make is immediately sent to Things Cloud, which then sends it to your other devices. Everything is automatic, so you never have to worry about syncing again. Things Cloud is fast, reliable, and best of all, free.
You shouldn't have to read a manual to become more productive.* Or try to understand complex inspector windows. After all, isn't the whole point of a task manager to make your life easier?
With Things, everything flows naturally. Out of the box, it comes with lists that are ready for your to-dos:
What do you want to do Today? What are the tasks you want to get to Next? And what do you want to Schedule for a later day? Everything has its place.
When entering new to-dos you can quickly add all important information: enter the title, notes, and due date. You can also tag to-dos so you can find them more easily later. Things remembers everything so you don't have to.
Life is busy. It's easy to forget something when you don't write it down immediately. Things lets you enter new to-dos the moment they hit you.
No matter what application you're in, simply press a system-wide keyboard shortcut, and the Quick Entry window appears. Enter your to-do, save it, and get back to work. The next time you open Things, the to-do waits for you in the Inbox - you'll never forget anything important again.
You're reading an email from a friend and she wants you to buy some things for the party. Or your boss wants you to prepare a presentation.
Just select the relevant portion of the email, press the Autofill shortcut, and the Quick Entry window appears. But this time, it has the selected text already added to the notes, together with a link to the original email - it's magical. This also works from many other applications like Safari, Messages, Pages, Finder, etc.
It's happened before — you want to do something important, but there's just no time for it. Not today. So you decide to do it next week, or in two weeks. But when the time comes, you have either forgotten about it, or you remember too late.
With Things, all to-dos that are scheduled for today automatically appear at the top of your Today list, together with all to-dos that have become due. We call it Daily Review. It's a way for you to easily review which tasks you want to start today, and which ones you want to postpone until later.
Your life is unique — so it's no surprise that after just a little while, your Things looks like no one else's. Do you want to write a song, plan the next big project, improve the house, or write a thesis? Whatever it is, you can customize Things to make it perfect for your needs.
Every project you add to Things automatically shows up in the sidebar so you can access it at any time. And you can hide projects you're currently not working on by putting them in Someday - this keeps your sidebar clean and lets you focus on the things that are relevant now.
Add Areas to the sidebar so you can group projects and to-dos together: "Family", "Work", "Hobby", "Health", or whatever makes sense to you. Review these areas to make sure you keep on top of your responsibilities.
Add tags to your to-dos for added context - use "Home" for all to-dos you want to do at home, "Errands" for things you need to buy, "High" for very important tasks, and so on. Then filter any list by these tags to narrow it down. Whichever tags you decide to create, Things makes it easy to find the to-dos that are most relevant to you at any given time.
You love your Mac, and for good reasons. It's apps like Things that make it truly shine.
Things' polished user interface and attention to detail make it a prime example of beautiful application design. That's why it won an Apple Design Award. And a Macworld Best of Show Award. And a Macworld Editors' Choice Award.
Things takes full advantage of the latest macOS technologies. It has beautiful Retina graphics, a full screen mode, Reminders integration, AppleScript support, and much more. It's hard to find anything quite like it.
"Things is a true standout thanks to a great set of features and an interface that makes it a good fit for nearly any level of task management: It's simple enough to use for the most-basic to-do lists ... but it's powerful enough to handle a full blown GTD workflow... Things offers a unique combination of ease of use, a great interface, and flexibility that sets it apart from other to-do managers I've used."
"Of course, everyone has specific needs and preferences that will steer them toward a particular to-do-list program or another. But Things' combination of ease of use, great interface, and flexibility make it as close to the ideal Mac to-do app as we've seen."

South Sudan: Deputy humanitarian chief calls for new approaches to protracted crises
Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Kyung-wha Kang said today that a new approach to humanitarian work in South Sudan over the next few years will see a focus on longer-term investment and disaster management to build resilience and improve preparedness.
"My discussions with local authorities in Jonglei and in the capital, Juba, focused on the need to find sustainable solutions to South Sudan's protracted crises; that is, investing in better disaster management, strengthening the country's basic infrastructure, and ensuring lasting peace and development," ASG Kang told a media briefing in New York.
"This is why we have decided to take a different approach to our humanitarian response in South Sudan for next year. We recently launched a multi-year plan, starting in 2014, which will focus on immediate emergency needs as well as longer-term measures including community resilience and national capacity-building."
"We want to work with local communities, authorities and the Government to help South Sudan cope better with crises. We want communities affected by disasters to recover and build back stronger."
Harrowing stories
Ms. Kang was speaking after her return from an eight-day mission to South Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya. In South Sudan, she travelled to Bor, Twic East and Pibor counties in the state of Jonglei, where hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by violence and by seasonal floods.
"I met families in Jonglei who told me harrowing stories of suffering and loss due to displacement," said Ms. Kang. "As the world's youngest country, South Sudan is struggling to provide security and meet the basic needs of its people," she added, noting that an estimated 4.5 million people need humanitarian assistance, including close to 1 million people who are severely food insecure.
Ms. Kang said that although the humanitarian situation had improved slightly over the last year, and UN agencies and aid partners were continuing to work with the Government to meet the needs of communities affected by crises, it was very clear that much more needed to be done.

- Professor Sprout: "Bubotubers. They need squeezing. You will collect the pus-"
- Seamus Finnigan: "The what?"
- Professor Sprout: "Pus, Finnigan, pus."
- — Pomona Sprout and Seamus Finnigan in 1994[src]
A Bubotuber is a type of magical plant, the visible part of which is said to resemble a large, thick, black slug. This portion of the plant also squirms of its own volition. The surface of a bubotuber is covered in shiny protrusions, which when squeezed yield a thick, yellowish-green pus that has an odour akin to that of gasoline/petrol. It is unknown where the plant originates from, but is kept at the Hogwarts Greenhouses.
Bubotuber pus acts as a treatment for severe acne, but undiluted pus can affect unprotected skin in unintended ways. This suggests that bubotuber pus is a topical treatment, but that the actual salve consists of the pus either diluted in a solution or mixed with other ingredients.
Bubotubers are discussed in Fourth year Herbology classes. Also in her fourth year, Hermione Granger was sent a letter full of bubotuber pus by an unknown person who evidently believed the slanderous Rita Skeeter article that claimed that Hermione was toying with the affections of both Harry Potter and Viktor Krum.

Why would the intelligent men who own NFL franchises organize as a corporation when they could organize as a partnership or LLC and avoid the tax issues associated with being a corporation?
interest free in a stadium fund and probably in many other funds. They have use of their money and save taxes.
They are not a partnership or an LLC. They are a non profit.
You are not making sense. If the owners spent the money on stadium expenses they could deduct it as a business expense anyway.
And you completely misunderstood Poodle's point about what they could do as a partnership or LL
They would of course find the best avenue outside of incorporation if they lost non- profit status.. They would still be able to us distribution rules and they would still not pay taxes through such an entity. Senator Coburn is seeking something that isn't there by making the idiotic assumption that the NFL would incorporate instead of seeking other more sensible tax avenues.
For example: the nba and MLB have chosen to incorporate their association as for profit.. They have their reasons and ine can infer its in their best interest tax wise
His point is, even if they weren't a non profit, they could be a partnership which would avoid the double taxation you are complaining they aren't paying.
The league's tax form also lists $621million in receivable loans — part of the lending program to member teams for stadiums.
I understood Poodle exactly
. If they expense 6MM and that just comes right bak to them after distribution, wh
But I've never seen anyone as obsessed as you are to force people to pay more taxes. Obama is proud of you...
The league's tax form also lists $621million in receivable loans — part of the lending program to member teams for stadiums
In 2010, the registered NFL nonprofit alone received $184 million from its 32 member teams. It holds over $1 billion in assets. Together with its subsidiaries and teams – many of which are for-profit, taxed entities – the NFL generates an estimated $9 billion annually. Each of its teams are among the top 50 most expensive sports teams in the world, ranking alongside the world's famous soccer teams. Almost half of professional football teams are valued at over $1 billion….
They are using the non profit they essentially own to create expenses for their taxable corporations. You understand??
As a non profit they do not have to distribute their money. A LLC or a partnership does.
I'm on my phone so I haven't read the link. Are these loans interest free? If so, the IRS has regulations in place to assign that income. You cannot disguise a gift as a loan. If the IRS isn't enforcing this, then your beef if with the service for not enforcing rules already in place.
quote:Right but it says the NFL entity has a billion in assets. Read it again.
The franchises, which are not non profit are worth a billion.
But they do distribute the money or they would be subject to the rules governing the purpose and use regulations of the non-profit section of the code. They can't just horde cash indefinitely and not distribute the money to the associations members.

Still alive. Updated bio. See my personal page for any further updates.
Been busy with the new job and school, and planning for stuff for the wedding in September. Built .debs of the new freeamp and musicbrainz releases today. Orphaned off most of my packages except for freeamp and gkrellm, as I don't use most of the others. Hard to believe it's been almost 4 months since my last diary entry. Time flies when you're busy.
Got into work at 5AM today, so I can leave at a decent hour. Changing jobs then not having any leave right before the holidays blows. Oh well. At least it's quiet...and I've been semi-productive.

I'm glad some people are having my share of partying :)
On a side note, we got a cable modem installed on Wednesday. It's sooooo much nicer than dialup...
Last day of work at Winstar. Cleaning out the desk and wrapping up the loose ends. I'll miss my coworkers greatly... must endeavor to keep in touch.
I voted. Annoyed that my voting station didn't give out "I voted" stickers. Bastards. My first time voting (I was 17 1/2 in 96) and I don't even get the damn sticker. :-)
KDE2 is nice.
Last week for this job is next week. Fun.
explodingdog kicks ass.
aaronl: When I used to trick-or-treat, what determined us going to houses or not was if they had some sort of halloween-looking stuff out in front - pumpkin, ghosts, cobwebs, whatever. We generally knew who did not celebrate halloween and did not 'threaten' people to give us candy. Certainly things may be different where you are, but there's more to halloween than a bunch of kids going around demanding candy... it's fun to just let loose, use your imagination, and relax every now and then. If you don't want people coming to your door, make it plain to the parents of said children that you do not celebrate halloween and wish to be left alone...or put a sign on your door saying 'No candy, go elsewhere' or whatnot. If you're in any kind of a decent neighborhood, they should respect your wishes.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
