On the same day the Washington Wizards defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder for their most dramatic win of the season Monday, Jan Vesely finally overcame one of the more dubious statistics of the season, Chris Singleton got 6.1 seconds of playing time and Shelvin Mack was cut for the second time in three months.
Vesely, Singleton and Mack comprised a 2011 NBA draft class that was meant to enhance the rebuilding efforts for a franchise that hasn't made the playoffs since 2008. But less than two years later, the team continues to struggle and await consistent production.
The absence of injured point guard John Wall — taken with the first overall pick of the 2010 draft — has greatly contributed to the Wizards getting off to a franchise-worst 5-28 start this season, but Vesely, the sixth overall pick in 2011, and Singleton, the 18th pick, are also foundering in their second seasons. Mack, the 34th selection, is waiting for another shot in the NBA.
The Wizards picked up third-year options for Vesely and Singleton before this season, an obvious indication the organization was expecting that both players would build upon the occasional promise displayed during maligned, lockout-shortened rookie campaigns. But Singleton now occupies a spot in Coach Randy Wittman's doghouse that was previously reserved for Vesely, who had more fouls than points or rebounds through the first 31 games.
"Obviously, there have been struggles there. I'm not going to lie," Wittman said recently when asked about Vesely and Singleton. "They've got to continue to work and we'll continue to work with them."
Vesely, a 7-foot forward from the Czech Republic, had his best game of the season on Monday during the Wizards' 101-99 victory over Oklahoma City as he scored 10 points, grabbed seven rebounds and showed the high-flying energy and hustle that led the Wizards to believe he would be the perfect complement to a Wall-led up-tempo offense.
"Jan has played the way I want to see him play these last couple of games," Wittman said. "He's got to keep at a consistent level, the energy, the flying around, the running the floor, the offensive rebounding, defending, deflections. That's who he is."
Wall is expected to make his season debut on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks, which should help Vesely, a player who lacks the ability to create his own offense but runs the floor well. Vesely admitted that his game has been affected by not having Wall around to direct traffic and look for him for fast-break lob dunks or his quick cuts to the basket, but he wouldn't use it as the only excuse for averaging just 2.7 points and 2.5 rebounds — inferior numbers to his rookie season.
"It affects a little bit, but was all my fault. I wasn't ready. I wasn't focused on the games," said Vesely, who now has 68 points, 63 rebounds and 60 fouls this season. "Sometimes I try to do something I should not do, but I try to work on my game every day. It's hard losing so many games and stay positive and stay confident."
Singleton has gone from starting 57 games last season to falling completely out of the rotation. A 6-foot-8 forward with the versatility to defend multiple positions, Singleton has appeared in just four of the past nine games and played in a total of 23 minutes in those contests.
"Everybody is fighting for a spot on this team. Got talented guys," said Singleton, who is averaging just 4.3 points and 3.6 rebounds this season. "So whatever works and whatever makes it a winning format is what we're going to do. It's definitely made me work harder. I'm spending more time on the court, definitely resting during the game. I'm just putting the work in so that when I do get the opportunity, I show them what I got."
Drafted to serve as Wall's primary backup, Mack had his minutes usurped by Jannero Pargo, a player who is currently out of the league, and Garrett Temple, who ensured a roster spot for the rest of the season after starting out in the NBA Development League.
All three were stunted initially by the 2011 NBA lockout, which prohibited contact with coaches and led to a limited training camp, and a midseason coaching change. This past offseason was meant to serve as an opportunity to build upon what they learned through challenging rookie campaigns, but the trio failed to dazzle in the NBA summer league and the Wizards also put them on alert with the acquisitions of veterans Ariza, Emeka Okafor, A.J. Price and Martell Webster. Singleton and Vesely are both used primarily at power forward, a position that also features Nene, Kevin Seraphin and Trevor Booker, who is also expected to return from a knee injury on Saturday to add to the logjam.
"Hopefully, you learn from that; how they are doing it and how they are being successful while they are out there," Wittman said, when asked about the presence of more veterans and the competition for minutes. "I think it can be a positive if you use it that way.
"Sometimes situations like that arise and you can't, because you're not on the floor, let that detour your development," Wittman said. "If you're not confident when you step on the floor, you're not going to be very productive, no matter who you are, and I think that's the main thing that they have to strive to get, number one, and believe in themselves."

By Ridge Mahoney
in Munich
To stop a most remarkable streak required a gritty team on a great run of its own led by a flickering star not yet willing to be dimmed.
France, mired in self-doubts in the run-up to the World Cup and a surprise runner-up finisher in group play behind Switzerland, knocked off Portugal, 1-0, to reach the final Sunday in Berlin.
The Portuguese were beaten on a Zinedine Zidane penalty kick yet were marginally superior over the 90 minutes. Cristiano Ronaldo's mazy dribbles mystified the French again and again, but seldom did they produce a clearcut scoring chance and a shove on him by Willy Sagnol in the box might have been whistled but wasn't.
Thus was ended Luiz Felipe Scolari's 12-match unbeaten streak in World
Cups. With his native Brazil, he won seven straight games and the title in 2002, and he'd taken Portugal to four straight outright wins and a victory over England on penalty kicks in Germany. But
the French, once out of group play, have run the table impressively against Spain, Brazil and Portugal.
Just as vital as Zidane to the French cause was their other 34-year-old, defender
Lilian Thuram, who earned Man of the Match honors with dozens of headed clearances and fierce tackles and impassioned pleas. Portugal took 12 shots to
France's five, but only two long-distance shots that the unpredictable Fabien Barthez bobbled were real threats.
Alarm aplenty arose with Ronaldo
on the ball. He simply sliced through the French, but his inability to link with teammates, especially lone striker Pauleta, prevented shots from prime
scoring distance. On the lone occasion they did connect, Pauleta fired a hard shot that Barthez covered.
Luis Figo, a majestic figure working the
wings and sliding into the middle when he wasn't beseeching Uruguayan referee Jorge Larrionda (yes, the referee of the infamous USA-Italy match). It
was a Figo cross that Ronaldo lunged for five minutes after Larrionda correctly ruled that Ricardo Carvalho had tripped Thierry Henry in the area for the penalty Zidane converted.
Sagnol did have his arms on Ronaldo, yet the fact he lunged forward, rather than jumped straight up, might have
convinced Larrionda the brilliant 21-year-old was trying to sell one. The ball flew two feet over Ronaldo's head, Larrionda didn't buy and furious shouts from the Portuguese players and shrill
whistles from the noisy Portuguese corner of Allianz Arena didn't deter him.
Once the most acclaimed member of the "Golden Generation" that twice won FIFA U-20 titles under Carlos Queiroz, Figo had labored valiantly, and occasionally resorted to deception, in his last quest for a major trophy. Two years ago, as host, Portugal lost the
final of the European Championship to Greece; last night, they were just as good as France but simply not as lucky.
Carvalho's whip-tackle was certainly a penalty, Sagnol's shove was a
"We have to be very proud of what we have done up to now and we can leave here with our heads held high," said Figo. "That's how football is: sometimes your opponents aren't better
than you, but they win, and France took advantage of the opportunity that they had. We had a few chances and we weren't as clinical."

Press and hold the left control wheel's ok button from at least a second or two before turning the car over and hold it until the car says test, then scroll up or down through the test mode screens and you can get a digital speedometer but in the process you give up all other functions of the trip computer until you either press and hold ok until it exits test mode or when you restart the car next time without doing this.
This doesn't break anything, but its not the ideal way to get what you were asking for.
You can see the engine temperature, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc in test mode.
You will have to look at the gear shift lever and follow the tach if you were to shift it manually, or to engage the cruise control as they won't show up on the test screen.

Country distribution from AmphibiaWeb's database: Brazil
Range Description
This species is known for certain only from the type locality, Joinville, in Santa Catarina Province in southern Brazil, at approximately 300m asl. Taylor (1968) had some doubt as to whether or not the type specimen had actually come from the stated type locality. A second specimen, also from an unknown locality, was reported by Taylor (1970).
Habitat and Ecology
This species is presumably subterranean, given the ecological preferences of other members of the genus, and occurs in lowland rainforest.
It is known only from two specimens collected before 1968, so its overall population status is not known.
Population Trend
Major Threats
There is no information on specific threats to it, although the rainforest where it was collected has been converted to an industrial zone.
Conservation Actions
It is not known from any protected areas.

No one loves a countdown more than kids, but most little ones can't quite make it to midnight on New Year's Eve. The perfect solution? Attend a "Noon Year's Eve" party!
Popular at museums, zoos and other family friendly locales, Noon Year's Eve gets a jump on the holiday celebrating with a countdown to 12 pm (noon) as opposed to 12 am (midnight). The kids get to participate in the countdown, screaming, "Happy New Year!" when the clock strikes 12 just like their parents will be doing at midnight!
If you can't find a Noon Year's Eve party in your area, there's still plenty of time to host one at your home. Simply make sure you have plenty of noise makers (pots and pans work too!), confetti and sparkling cider on hand!

Hi. I'm Dr. Elizabeth Morgan. I'd like to talk to you today about facelift scars. A lot of people worry about facelift making them distorted or having bad scars. I've had a facelift, I don't look distorted and I'd like to show you my scars so you can see what they are like. Let us start with my upper lids, I'm going to show you the scar from my upper lid surgery, it's a little white line. I'm going to show you the scar from my lower lid surgery, you cannot even see it. I'm going to show you my scar from my facelift in the neck, there's a little scar underneath. And now I'm going to show you my facelift scars around my ears. You'll see a little white line in front of my ear and then you'll see a whiter scar behind the ear but the ear conceals that scar. So if you're considering a facelift or eyelid surgery and doing them together is often called a full facelift, I think I can reassure you that distortion is not likely to occur and that the scars in time are truly unnoticeable. And by time I mean usually by about four to five weeks although they go on improving it definitely. Call us if we can help.
Facelift Scars: Dr. Elizabeth Morgan Reveals Her Scars
Dr. Elizabeth Morgan shows how facelift scars look after surgery, using herself as the model. She explains where incisions will be and how the scar will continue to improve over time.


text: A few months ago, I convinced my brother to get his concealed handgun license and it's a good thing he did. Someone approached him with a brick and threatened to hit him if he didn't hand over his wallet. He brandished his trusty Sig and the guy took off. The question/scenario is this: if you had to fire at someone and had no choice but to do so and you had one very good shot at the attacker, where would you aim? Go for a better chance at a mass shot to the chest? Go for the head? I know the shot may not go where you aim, but where would you aim?

Your posts are offensive to many of us using calosol.
Perhaps you will be pleased to know that we are a family glad to be using calosol and thank God we did. This is our story in brief.
Our son is 12 and started loosing his hair January 2006 he only had three small patches and our GP said do not worry and his hair would grow back, he gave us a
steroid cream to use. The steroid creams did not help and more and more patches appeared on the scalp and also on the eyebrows, the Doctor referred us to a
Derm and by the time the appointment was made our son had lost 50% of his hair the left eyebrow and half of the other eyebrow. The derm offered us steroid
injections which were of no value apart from three new hairs regrown and lost soon after we stopped the injections. We decided to stop the injections when the
derm said that there was nothing more he could do, he also said that it was almost certain that our son's hair would never regrow. We were devastated to
hear this. By now the alopecia had progressed to 90% scalp loss.
We decided to start using the calosol after we got in touch with a mum that told us about their experience and success of complete regrowth using calosol on
their daughter's scalp . We started using the Calosol in October 2006 and within few weeks we started seeing tiny new fluffy baby hair all over his scalp.
We have now 95% regrowth and we cannot thank Elias enough. Elias wants us to continue until our son has a full head of hair. He has been very supportive and we
are very grateful for his help.
I hope Elias may live long and prosper, and continue with his work.

It's therefore tempting to predict that PCs in 2020 will have 16 or 32 processor cores, but I don't think so. First, we have 40 years of software that hasn't been written to exploit multi-core processors, so users will not get the benefits they might expect. Second, the extra transistor budget in a 2020s chips will be used for other things besides CPU cores. Intel has already added what used to be separate maths co-processors, cache memory and graphics chips to the CPU, and will continue to work towards "system on a chip" integration. Third, programs that need repetitive supercomputer-style operations will farm them out to graphics processing units (GPUs) instead of relying on the CPU. Fourth, most ordinary users don't actually need anything more than a quad-core system. I'd love to think we'll all be using 16-core PCs in 2020, but I suspect not. The trend is not towards raw performance, it's towards performance per watt.
I expect many of you disagree with my inclusion of a Blu-ray drive in a desktop PC, and I'm dubious myself. It's certainly true that, one day, chips will replace rotating disks as a way of storing data. However, we've been saying that since 1982, when I first used a Grid Compass 1101 laptop with "bubble memory". It still hasn't happened. However, in 2020, a Blu-ray disc should be a fast, cheap and reliable way of delivering or backing up 100GB of data. This will appeal to the few billion people who still won't have the high-speed broadband or ubiquitous Wi-Fi that people already expect in major Western cities. As author William Gibson is said to have remarked, "the future is unevenly distributed".
Either way, I've watched computer storage media progress through cassette tapes, floppy discs, CDs and DVDs to Blu-ray discs, and formats rarely disappear as quickly as people expect.
The problem is that while PC specifications can change rapidly, people don't. The market is ultimately governed not by what's technically possible but by what ordinary people want to do with their machines, and how much they're willing to pay.
The PC I'm using now has much more power than the one I had running Windows Me/2000 in 2000 or running Microsoft Windows 3 in 1990, but it's still doing the same things: word processing, spreadsheets, email and messaging, games. Of course, it's doing them faster, in higher resolution, with added video, but the basic operations remain the same. Revolutionary developments such as touch screens, virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, speech recognition and "mind control" -- all of which I tried in the 1980s -- still haven't changed the PC world, though touch screens have become popular on smartphones.
In the end, my relatively modest expectations for the desktop PC's progress reflect my feeling that the technologies that really change things tend to appear on new devices. That was true of the Nintendo Game Boy when it was launched in Japan in 1989, the Palm handheld organiser introduced in 1997, the Nintendo Wii from 2006, and this year's Apple iPad. Today's desktop PC hasn't really changed that much since the IBM PC set the standard in 1981, it's just that we now have lots of limited-use devices for different purposes, instead of one general-purpose PC.

Hello there. My name is Ambre and I am new to this site. I apologize for the long post, but I am very sincerely asking for for advice.
We have two german shepherd puppies. Male and female, that are brother and sister. They are one week shy of four months old. We have had them since they were about 7 weeks old. I will also mention that we have two children: a six year old and a 3 1/2 year old.
I grew up always having dogs in my household. Upon reflection, I realize we never did anything special to train our dogs. We just had dogs and they interacted with us and the neighbors and there was never any issues. I mention that because it has been very different with these two and I am unsure what to do at this point.
Our two puppies are sweet dogs. They are smart and have been very good with the family. It has taken the male longer to get used to our son, and that is because our son is three and is still learning what he can and can't do with the dogs and so at times has been rough. So we have made it a point to teach our son how to treat the dogs. Our son has improved and the dogs, especially the male, Angus, does much better with him.
We have a fenced back yard and the dogs can see our neighbors and their dogs as well, so I did not realize there was an issue until I started teaching them to walk on a leash and started taking them for walks. I probably waited longer than I should have to do that, but I didn't realize there would be an issue.
The issue is they are scared of most everything. Actually the male is the worst. I think the female will get used to things easier. But Angus will panic and try to pull out of the collar if he gets scared. If someone tries to approach him, even slowly and quietly, he will raise his hackles, growl and whine and pee and try to back away. Even with some of our neighbors he still does that even tho he sees them frequently. I took him to the park today just to sit and watch the kids play ball and he was upset most of the time. Upon leaving, he would pull and pull on the leash and try to get away because he was so scared. It's to the point that I get frustrated because he just won't quit. Nothing has ever happened to him: no abuse, no attacks by other dogs, etc.
I am worried he will bite someone out of fear. He is not an aggressive dog, it seems to be fear.
I guess what I want to ask is this:
Is this expected behavior for a four month old male german shepherd puppy?
If I continue to take him to the park, for example, will this behavior improve, and if so will it be within a reasonable amount of time or are we talking months? Because, to be honest, I don't know that I can do that kind of intense training. I am willing to work with Angus, and I have been trying to do so. I try to walk them both every day and have them see other people and animals.
I guess I did not realize I would end up with a puppy that would be so fearful of other people and dogs because in all the dogs I had growing up, none were ever like that. So I wasn't expecting it.
I do like our dogs very much, but it have to be honest with myself and also think of what the dog needs and do I have the time to do it.
I hate to split the puppies up, but I may have to consider keeping just one.
I would appreciate any advice and suggestions.
I'm no trainer, but if he were mine, I'd give him some one one one and take him out by himself. At the same time, I'd set him up for success by provided some high value treats and ask ( strangers to him) others to give home treats and, when willing some positive attention.
Good luck
Thank you for your suggestions.
Anyone else have any advice?

I would consult a trainer if you find you can't get them under control yoruself and see what they think. He is only 4 months old, and I fully believe he can be worked with.. which may be time and money for you. If you decide to rehome him in the end, you are doing what's best for him, but I still think you guys can work through this :)
I had a 4 month old boerboel that was scared of a lot of things too on walks. With her I made the walks super fun. I had lots of treats and sometimes we would just stop and play games with the treats. "touch" was a good one for her. I trained her to touch her nose to my fingers when I held them out, wherever they were she had to try to touch them. She was scared of cars, so we would sometimes go up to the end of the street where there was more traffic. We would sit and she'd watch the cars go by while I played games with her.
I'd definitely do some one on one. The problem with 2 pups at once is that it's hard to train them both equally. Take your male out for some training. Then the female later. They need to build a bond with you seperately IMO. I think too, this may display a trust issue with you and your pups. They should trust that you are going to protect them, but something is missing. I think building the foundations with one on one training will help strengthen the bond. Sometimes I ask Titan to do things and he looks at me like "um do what??" and this "you're a craazy lady!" look, lol. but he does them because he trusts that I wouldn't ask him to do things that would put him in harms way.
I digress. In the end I think one on one time.. especially walking one on one to start would be better for them and you. You will be able to focus on that one without worrying about the other. Also, stay calm. They feed off your energy.
Also, where did you get them? if from a breeder, are any of their littermates this way?
Four months old is the closing door for socialization. I got my first German Shepherd at four months old, completely unsocilazed. He is five years old now, and has Fear Aggression. He is terrified of people and loud noises.
You need to find a professional trainer.
I wish you and your pups the best of luck!
Also, don't allow anybody to corner him; this could turn him into a fear biter, or just make his fear more extreme. And don't pull him towards people or force him to approach; this will hurt his trust in you.
It might be an unpopular vote here, but I'd seriously consider finding a good home for the male pup. He is going to require a lot of work. You've got a female pup that might start picking up on his behaviors. Sounds like she's already border line. It would be much easier finding a stable home for the pup now, then to wait till you've pulled all of your hair out, or find his behavior is beyond your capability to handle. I'd start with the breeder. See if they'd take the pup back.
quote "Four months old is the closing door for socialization"
there actually is no moment when the door slams shut. Socialization is accumulative and on-going .
Two pups related to each other is probably the most difficult combination to raise up properly. They become very dependent on each other . That and having identical needs and possibly going through a stage at the same time .
Some of the most important socialization occurs while the pups are still at the breeders . What is missed there is the most difficult to make up for later on.
That is a lot of responsibility that you have . Contact the breeder and see if they can help you.

To All Depository Institutions and Others Concerned in the Second Federal Reserve District:
The following is from a statement by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System:
The Federal Reserve Board has announced the reopening and extension of the comment period on proposals to allow electronic delivery of federally mandated disclosures. On September 14, 1999, the Board published revised proposals for public comment under five consumer protection regulations: B (Equal Credit Opportunity), E (Electronic Fund Transfers), M (Consumer Leasing), Z (Truth in Lending), and DD (Truth in Savings). [See Circular No. 11184.]
The Board is reopening and extending the comment period in order to obtain views from individual consumers through focus group interviews. Although the comment period is being extended primarily for the purpose of conducting these focus groups, other members of the public may also submit comments during this period but they are encouraged to submit them as soon as possible.
Final action on the proposals is expected in March, shortly after the close of the public comment period.
Comments are requested by March 3, 2000.
The Board's official notice (pdf - 118kb), as published in the Federal Register of December 15 is available as a file. Comments should be submitted to the Board, as specified in the notice, by March 3.

Soapie stars split
The Sun-Herald
Page Tools
Bec Cartwright.
Bec Cartwright has been busy doing the splits and not just on the dance floor.
After continued speculation about her relationship with fellow Home And Away actor Beau Brady, I can confirm the couple have indeed broken up. A statement from Encompass management, the Sydney company that represents both actors, was handed exclusively to the Sun-Herald last week.
"Although still sharing the same residence until recently, Bec Cartwright and Beau Brady have not been a couple for some time," the statement said. "The couple realised that their relationship whilst no longer romantic had instead developed into a strong friendship. Therefore, they have decided to now live separately.
"They remain close friends and are both extremely supportive of each other's career choices. There are no third parties involved in the couple's decision to separate."
Of course, that's the official line. Word has it that Brady has already been enjoying the company of other young women, while Cartwright has steadfastly insisted she is not romantically involved with her Dancing With The Stars dance partner Michael Miziner. Insiders say the two are definitely "just friends".

A recent review assessed the success rates of miniscrews used as temporary anchorage devices. Factors ranging from screw size to time of loading can affect such success and help define guidelines for their selection and application.
The study involved a Medline search that identified 734 articles, of which 14 matched all of their criteria. Based on a review of the 14 articles, the authors concluded that the recorded average success rate was approximately 83%. There was no difference related to sex, and older patients had a higher success rate. The maxilla had a higher success rate than the mandible, and there was no difference in the success rate between miniscrews that were immediately loaded versus those that had a delayed healing period. Miniscrews that were less than 8 mm in length and less than 1.2 mm in diameter had lower success rates and should be avoided. There was no advantage to performing a surgical flap prior to screw placement. This assessment study concluded that there are specific characteristics related to miniscrew placement that can affect success rates.

My best friend, Tammi, has known she has wanted to be a lawyer since she was 9. She completed an LSAT class over the summer and just finished taking the test a few days ago. Ahead of the game, she has already applied to 12 schools with rolling admission, so she would be in the first round of candidates to be considered.
I have always envied Tammi for her confidence in choosing a career path and her commitment to seeing it through. She has been dedicated in researching schools, carefully completing applications, and choosing coursework to better prepare her for law school. She had begun contacting the appropriate people at Princeton when she was a Junior, so that she was not left with too much work her senior year. And because of all this, I know Tammi will get into a great law school and become a very successful lawyer.
Fortunately, for the rest of us, there are a few different places on campus to get information about further education after college. The Graduate and Professional School Fair this Friday (Oct. 15 in Dillon Gym) offers students the opportunity to meet with representatives from over 100 schools and ask specific questions about application procedures, studies, and how to make yourself look appealing to admissions teams. For students who want more information about specific schools, or even fields of interest, it is the perfect environment to ask personalized questions and receive direct answers. (Here is a link to the list of schools attending, http://princeton.experience.com/stu/cf_details?fhnd=4572).
I know a lot of students would rather research a school online and ask questions via email or phone, etc. I understand this approach because there is little pressure and everything is done on one's own time. However, attending the Fair could have major (and unforeseen) benefits. I found this link on the Career Services website very helpful: http://www.princeton.edu/career/undergrads/grad-prof/graduate_school_fair/.
Another way to gain exposure to educational programs offered in several fields is to attend the many events planned for Princeton undergraduates through Career Services. In the upcoming weeks, there is a Business Ph.D. panel with admissions officers from Chicago Booth, Harvard, MIT Sloan, Northwestern Kellogg, NYU Stern, and Stanford (Oct. 15, 302 Frist); a meet-and-greet with the Yale Law School Dean (Oct. 19, 307 Frist); and a Quinnipiac University Law School Admissions Dean visit (Oct. 22, 36 University Pl.). There are several more events planned for November.
Finally, as always, the last way to stay informed is to meet with a career counselor to go over your progress in the application process, or ask any questions you may have concerning professions in law, business, etc. They will work with you to help you make the best, educated decisions possible.

A few days ago, I was on Pinterest and I stumbled upon a photo of Ansel Adams (photo above) shooting with a Contax camera. The photo was taken by his friend and also a great photographer, Edward Weston.
I thought the photo was awesome and so I went ahead and posted it on The Exposury's Facebook page. Aside from that, I also started a sort of a game. You and Your Camera. I asked our friends to share photos of themselves with their cameras like the photo of Ansel Adams and his Contax. The submissions were very interesting.
Here they are.
Blaine Vernicek with two of his favorite things. This one made me smile a lot! You can find his work here , here and here :).
Julian Brombach with his Mamiya C3 loaded with Agfa APX 400. I am in awe of this one. You can find Julian's work here.
Zeester Seestern and her LC-A+ loaded with cross processed Fuji Sensia 100. How lovely! You can find more of her photos here.
Michal Novotao with his Yashica Electro 35GT. A clever way of shooting a self reflection selfie ;) ! More of Michal's work can be found here.
Agata Kucharska up close and personal with her Zenit E. Very nice indeed. More of Agata's work can be found here.
Yannick or realrampage in a somewhat surreal shot with his Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic. Sometimes instant results are the way to go and they are cool! You can see more of his photos here.
Ira Vol and her LC-A+ loaded with Kodak Elitechrome 100 Extra Color film. Another impressive perspective in shooting. You can view her photos and photography page here.
Joy Ratheim shooting with her Nikon FE2 loaded with Arista 400. A nice self portrait in monochrome while on a photography walk. Joy's work can be seen here.
My amigo Cesar in a self reflection portrait with his Hasselblad 501CM loaded with Kodak Portra 400. This photo is simply amazing. More of his work can be found here.
Rocio Mendez in a monochrome medium format portrait with a Lubitel camera. This is beautiful. Rocio's work can be viewed here.
Last but not the least is this photo of our friend Adrian Norbert Cuper. His friend Anna Pfeiffer took this photo and told him: "I'll take your photo to show you how stupid is your face when you're shooting… :|". Well, all I can say is that I think this is so cool and it made me laugh :D. You can see more of Adrian's work here and here.
Well, hope you enjoyed Sunday's post and the photos of our friends with their film cameras. I also wish you can take time to check their websites. Thank you!

Hair today, shoes tomorrow for one Taiwan woman
By Christine Lu
TAICHUNG, Taiwan (Reuters Life!) - Taiwanese hairdresser Tsai Shiou-ying has won many prizes for her cutting and decorative hair extensions in a four-decade career.
Now she has gone one step further, making decorations including shoes, brooches, fruit and animals from hair left on the salon floor after the cutting is done.
Tsai, who started working with hair in her teens and learned the skills of styling from her mother, recently showed off some of her creations in her small salon in the central city of Taichung.
Her pride and joy is a pair of high heels made entirely from human hair that for her are a substitute for the real thing.
"I personally love high heels very much, but I am flat-footed. I can only look at them and try them on, but if I buy them they will only be stored away until mold grows," the 54-year-old said.
"I can't wear them, so I want to make a pair of heels that I really like. This way, even if I can't wear them, at least I created a work of art."
Only real hair can endure the shaping process, Tsai explains. A single heel needs hair from at least three people, and she asks her neighbours and relatives to contribute to her stock. It takes a month to make a single pair of hairy heels.
"With real hair, I can perm and dye it into all sorts of different colors," she said. Continued...

The answer surprisingly is no.
Metal hardness is measured by what is called the Vickers scale where harder metals receive a higher Vickers score than less hard metals. 9ct has a Vickers hardness of 120 and 18ct has a Vickers hardness of 125. This shows 18ct as harder, but the difference is so slight that in practical terms 9ct and 18ct are much the same.
Yellow gold, white gold and rose gold are all measured using the Vickers scale, and as the same carat of yellow gold has the same gold proportional content as white gold and yellow gold, each of these metals has the same Vickers score value (that means that 9ct yellow gold, 9ct rose gold and 9ct white gold each have a Vickers score of 120 whilst 18ct yellow gold, 18ct rose gold and 18ct white gold has a Vickers score of 125).
There is another difference that should be considered when comparing 9ct and 18ct. 9ct is more difficult to bend and is a little more springy and therefore a fine 9ct ring may be less likely to bend out of shape than a fine 18ct ring. However, if the ring is of a good sturdy construction neither metal will be likely to bend out of shape.
18ct yellow gold is more yellow than 9ct yellow gold with 18ct yellow gold having a richer golden colour making 18ct yellow gold a more popular choice of yellow gold than 9ct for ladies engagement rings.
9ct rose gold has a darker rose-copper colour than 18ct rose gold which has a more subtle rose colour.
9ct white gold and 18ct white gold have a similar white colour (as normally both have a rhodium plating finish (see white gold vs. platinum information page).
In practical terms, 18ct generally holds up to everyday wear better than 9ct and tends to look better than 9ct as it ages over the years. This is one of the reasons why 18ct is normally preferred for ladies engagement rings rather than 9ct.
18ct is the superior metal for lady's and men's rings provided that the ring is not a lightweight construction (Our rings are a good construction). However, 18ct is almost twice the price of 9ct, which is usually fine for ladies engagement rings, though in a large men's ring the 18ct price can be a noticeable difference.
At Gillett's we believe that for a wedding ring that you wear every day of your life is worth the difference and we accordingly recommend that 18ct be selected whenever possible.

Topics to be covered include rural migration to the city, cosmopolitan diversity and the question of Qu?bec identity, symbolic buildings and public spaces, current economic realities, and metropolitan consolidation. Texts may include works by Gabrielle Roy, Jacques Godbout, Nicole Brossard, Louis Hamelin, Monique Proulx, and Sherry Simon, and films such as J?sus de Montr?al, Montr?al vu par . . ., and Cosmos.

Many companies today are using applicant tracking systems (ATS) to handle the large volume of resumes they receive. If you haven't thought about how your resume would fare with an ATS, you need to start. Screening software company HireRight reports that 95% of large corporations and 50% of mid-size companies are employing ATSs, which are helpful in that they save organizations time and money in finding the right candidate. The systems can screen out approximately 75% of candidates for a job, HireRight notes. That's good news for an HR rep or hiring manager, but bad news for qualified applicants if their resume was shuffled out because it was not optimized for the screening software. Here are some of HireRights' Dos and Don'ts when it comes to formatting your resume to make it "robot friendly": Do:
- Use keywords from the job description in your resume.
- Put your contact information at the top of the page, but not in the header.
- Use Web-standard fonts such as Arial, Tahoma or Verdana.
Don't use:
- Abbreviations.
- Tables.
- Graphics or logos.
Check out HireRight's graphic below for more tips on how to ensure your resume is ATS optimized.

The resignation of the national women's judo coach who beat athletes with a bamboo sword was a nasty reminder of how Japan's sporting world still draws on the traditions that led the country to war in the last century, experts say.
And, they argue, despite the bravery of the judoka, who risked their careers to bring the physical abuse to light, the culture of coercion and corporal punishment is so ingrained in Japanese sports that it will be hard to end.
Ryuji Sonoda quit in disgrace Feb. 1 after 15 of his charges accused him and his coaching staff of beating, kicking and slapping them during training in the runup to last summer's London Olympics. Sonoda, 39, who doubles as a judo instructor for Tokyo police, was also heard telling members of the squad to "drop dead" during humiliating dressing downs.
His boss, Kazuo Yoshimura, the technical director of the All Japan Judo Federation, also stepped down later, along with one of Sonoda's assistant coaches.
But the athletes, none of whom has been named publicly, say that despite the seriousness of the charges, multiple complaints were only acted on by the male-dominated judo federation and the Japanese Olympic Committee after the scandal received heavy media exposure in late January.
"We were deeply hurt both physically and mentally. Some of us were reduced to tears," they said in a statement, adding that they took a stand "for the future of women's judo."
The explosive case came weeks after a teenager killed himself in Osaka after repeated physical abuse from his high school basketball coach, reigniting a national debate on widespread corporal punishment in schools and sport.
Worried about negative fallout on Tokyo's bid to host the 2020 Summer Olympics, the government announced an independent body to investigate and prevent further abuse of athletes by their coaches in all sports.
But, said Hidenori Tomozoe, a professor of sports ethics at Tokyo's Waseda University, the problem is systemic. Corporal punishment is frequently tolerated in Japan's public schools — nurturing grounds for the nation's sports — as an effective tool to produce athletes, according to Tomozoe.
Sonoda said he had been beaten himself by his coaches but stressed that "I never took it as physical punishment." He added that he had struck his judoka "because I wished them to stay strong and overcome mental barriers."
Tomozoe said that the tradition dates to 1925, when the government started sending military officers into schools as drill instructors to provide jobs for them after World War I. This coincided with Japan's march toward militarism and its acquisitive and brutal occupation of much of Asia over the following two decades.
"They beat students and otherwise acted violently against them in the name of training," Tomozoe said. "After the war they were purged, but the atmosphere or ethos they created has remained in school culture. It is like an accumulation of pus over 100 years and will be never be cured in a year or two."
A law was enacted in 1947 to prohibit the physical discipline of students by their teachers. However, the practice has continued in the absence of statutory penalties for offenders.
Japan's professional sporting world is no stranger to tales of extreme physical abuse. In 2007, a 17-year-old sumo apprentice died after a hazing incident involving his stablemaster and senior wrestlers. The stablemaster, who struck the teen with a beer bottle, was sentenced to five years' jail for negligence resulting in death. Former star pitcher Masumi Kuwata, 44, recalled being beaten by his seniors when he played in school teams.
"Violent coaching in sports, including baseball, is carrying on the legacy of wartime military education," Kuwata told a seminar on violence in coaching, adding that Japanese baseball adapted to Spartan training and absolute obedience during the war.
"I never felt that the pain and fear of physical punishment ever toughened me one bit," he said.
Kubata recalled being impressed when he observed training in school baseball in the United States during his 2007 stint with the Pittsburgh Pirates. "There was no angry shouting or beating at all. They played baseball freely and leisurely. Such a background produces major leaguers," he said.
Noriko Mizoguchi, who won a silver medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and coached the French women's judo team from 2002 to 2004, said the petition by the 15 judoka is a "turning point in Japanese thinking."
"These women are worried they will be treated like criminals if Tokyo loses its Olympic bid," Mizoguchi, who teaches sports science at a university, said.

Flaherty backs code for sovereign funds
By Mike Dolan
DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - Sovereign wealth funds have an important role to play in the world economy, but agreed international guidelines on the nature of their investments would be welcome, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said on Friday.
In an interview with Reuters, Flaherty said concerns about the motivation of these funds, which are run by governments mostly in the Middle East and Asia to invest windfall income from oil and other exports, needed to be tackled.
"We do need to deal with the questions which arise with respect to the sovereign wealth funds," he said on the sidelines of the annual World Economic Forum in Davos. "They are playing an increasingly important role and so we need to deal with those concerns that have been expressed."
State-controlled investors have provided much-needed capital in recent weeks for U.S. and European banks hit by huge losses linked to the U.S. sub-prime mortgage crisis.
But concern is growing concern in some western countries that these funds may be used as tools of their governments' foreign policies, worries that sovereign fund representatives in Davos have dismissed as groundless.
"I think we could benefit from a set of principles," Flaherty said, referring to calls on the International Monetary Fund and Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development to draw up a set of best practices.
But he said he was comfortable to date with the sort of investments being made despite. "We've seen evidence lately on investments by sovereign wealth funds that they actually contribute to financial stability in the capital markets," he added, referring to their stake building in big U.S. banks hit by the credit crisis.
Flaherty said a meeting of the Group of Seven finance ministers in Tokyo on February 9 would focus on the six-month-old credit crisis and on the sovereign funds issue. Continued...

Feel the "ocean spray in your face" while you watch birds and dolphins from the huge deck of this 3-unit townhouse named Mi Casa. Atlantic Ocean in front and the Matanzas River Inlet on the side. Very private dog friendly beach in an oceanfront homes section with no cars allowed on the beach and no public access. ( we're an island connected to the mainland by Hwy A1A bridges on each end). When the tides out kids have great fun searching tidal pools for critters. Fort Matanzas National Monument is on the other side of the bridge within walking distance, with free boat ride to the fort and a great nature trail.. 2 miles north you can rent boats and kayaks and buy bait. 3 miles south is Marineland where you can swim with dolphins or go on a kayak guided tour. Bicycle path for miles in both directions. Waterfront seafood restaurant across the street where you can bring your dog, and a gas/convenience store 1 block away. Brick charcoal grill outside. Fully equipped kitchen to spend a weekend or 6 months.
Sleeping arrangements: downstairs two full size beds roll out from beneath the elevated kitchen deck; upstairs is all master bedroom with a king bed; above the king bed is an open loft with two twin beds.
Keywords: Condo, Townhouse, oceanfront, beachfront, fully furnished, cottage
We're both retired business owners who breeds parrots as a hobby. On our 55 acre farm covered with 100+ year old grandfather oaks we have dogs & cats on rat & predator patrol duty, cows, horses & a rescue pony with a resident wild deer as a pal; guineas, peacocks, chickens and many breeding pairs of macaws, cockatoos and african greys. We're both Florida natives; me from Lakeland, Pat from Jacksonville
Owner, Barry Fouts purchased this townhome in 2011
We love the quiet & solitude. When we moved to NE Florida in 1998 we visited St Augustine public beach and were not impressed by the crowds. 2011 was the first time we returned, and discovered Mi Casa. Our place on Summer Haven Island is the closest thing to a private beach you'll find for under $10 million. As soon as we stood on the deck, which really is on the beach, we told the realtor 'we'll take it!' Some of the yearly renters have come back 10 years in a row, and everyone has written wonderful reviews of the location and the updates & upgrades we've made. Sept '12 we shopped for another investment oceanfront condo and were amazed at the $4-500k condos that couldn't offer what Mi Casa has. It was a challenge just to walk the distance out their crowded walkway over sand dunes to the waters edge. Mi Casa has us spoiled. Walking down our 5' wide steps is an unfair comparison. The rod holders on the deck railing are your first clue that nobody else is this close to the water! Some say it's like being on a boat!
Waking to the roar of the ocean is a wonderful experience. Coffee on the deck, then 2nd cup on the beach letting the dogs run free (oops, the leash slipped out of my hand). Birds huddled on the sandbar in front. Discover turtle nests in season, and shells and critters caught in the tidal pools or rent a bike and enjoy the miles of paved bike paths north and south. Spot a sea turtle or manatee or dolphins swimming past. Whales pass in front but I haven't spotted one myself. Watch the kite boarders sail 20' into the air. Watch the Ospreys shake in flight like a dog after diving for fish. Last year a Bald Eagle pair regularly fished out front off the rocks. Gaze at the shrimp boats with binoculars (provided) then drive up the road & buy tonights shrimp dinner you watched being caught. The 3-grill brick BBQ has a smoker built in on the back side. View the stars in the near total darkness. Cross over the bridge & explore Fort Matanzas and its nature trail for free.
This is the fifth time we've been back to Mi Casa. That in itself is an endorsement. Mi Casa is a very unique residence, located with an inlet on one side, making it much quieter and more private than many other locations in St Augustine. The house itself has been renovated since we last visited and it's well appointed and very comfortable. The master bedroom looks out directly over the ocean and we were able to enjoy the sounds and breezes from the ocean all day and night. We slept wonderfully the whole time we were there. The deck is a real asset to the house -- spacious and so close to the ocean. We spent a lot of time hanging out there, as well as on the beach/ocean. The owner, Barry, is very communicative and accommodating. He's obviously devoted to the property and is a pro at making sure everything works smoothly. I can't say enough about Mi Casa. We can't wait to return next year!!
My family loved staying at Mi Casa. Could not have been the more perfect place. Had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Barry. We had a small issue with the A.C. and he had it resolved within an hour. Very sweet man. The rental had most everything we needed . It could use more kitchen cookware. ( cookie sheets and a few more pots and pans. ) But I would highly recommend staying here with your family. We will be back. :)
MiCasa has everything you could want in a beach vacation. All the comforts of home but the ocean is your front yard. We have stayed in a few homes along the ocean and this by far is the best beach for kayaking, privacy, and the inlet provides a better overall swimming experience.
Beautiful private beach. Rarely more than 10 people out. Accommodations are great. Best part is the owners. Very thoughtful. Everything needed is here. Great place for a reunion, getaway, or grandparents and grandchildren
While there is some construction still ongoing from Matthew's visit to the area, it was kept to minimum while we were present and wasn't really an issue. There was a problem with the AC on arrival and Mr. Fouts had it resolved within minutes. We had stayed in an adjacent condo a couple of times a few years ago and I had remembered how relaxing and enjoyable it was here. We decided to come back in the winter rather than the summer since we knew it would be even more quiet and it did not disappoint. I was able to sit on the deck before dawn and watch the sunrise over the water with no distractions other than the ocean and the nature that comes with it. Lots of nearby restaurants and shopping for the rest of my family. Perfect place to spend some time with our children before the oldest goes off to Oklahoma due to military transfer and the youngest goes back to college to finish up his bachelors degree. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone needing to get away from the pressures of the real world and enjoy some thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing time on the beach.
The unit we had was roomy enough for up to eight people. Fully equipped kitchen, inside washer/dryer, permission to bring our pet, ample parking, comfortable beds, nice TV's. Best part was the deck with full ocean view and beach just steps from the deck. Awesome!! There were also a few negatives. Spiral staircase was difficult to navigate for seniors; no good restaurants within close proximity to unit; daily construction with lots of banging. I would recommend.
Walk, bike, or drive over the bridge to Fort Matanzas. It's free and very interesting. Park service boat transports you across the river to the fort, where a ranger gives interesting information about the history of the fort. The boat leaves on the half hour. Excellent nature trail thru the Matanzas National Park. Or, turn south and 3 miles away you can swim with the dolphins at Marineland.

The Alpha in You and Not Your Dog | The German Shepherd
In the wild, there is an Alpha Dog – the "top dog" of the back – a "beta dog" - and many tiers of the hierarchy later, and "omega" dog – a dog to whom nobody else is submissive. Make sure your dog understands the hierarchy of your own family. You, the owner, are the Alpha Dog, while perhaps your children or other humans in the house are the Beta Dogs, and your pup is the Omega. As long as your German Shepherd gets used to this order, he or she will be perfectly happy in it – but you need to make sure he or she knows that's the situation from the get-go. This is especially important when there are two "owners" in the house – say, a tall, strapping man and a smaller woman. While the man might have an easier time – being bigger and stronger – being recognized as an Alpha Dog, his wife might need to do that extra work to make sure the dog knows that she ranks above him or her in the hierarchy. Likewise, your kids aren't the Omega Dogs either – your German Shepherd should learn to obey them too. While we all love our pets, and joke that they are the real "masters" at home, letting your dog walk all over you – especially when it's a dog as big and powerful as a German Shepherd, only sets up bad habits for both you and your canine family later on.

Fogle: Vote for Kevin Mastin
October 25, 2012
I'm a former business owner in Frisco (now retired), and I support Kevin Mastin for county commissioner. Kevin is a small business owner and he understands that success in the business community leads to a stronger economy for Summit County. Kevin is a past-president and lifetime member of the Summit County Chamber of Commerce. In 2004, he was a recipient of the chamber's Ben Fogle award. This award, named after my late husband who was one of the founders and the first president of the chamber, is the chamber's most prestigious award. In 2005 his business received the Small Business of the Year award. If you are a business owner, or an employee of a business in Summit County, you should recognize the value of a county commissioner with Kevin's background.
