|Topic Review (Newest First)
So I took a lot of things into consideration, a lot of suggestions, and made some changes...
I redid the Bio (Ran it through Word and Spell Check this time ). Moved the FB hit counter to the contact page so it was less conspicuous and in the way. Made my logo less prominent and more opaque...And also added a family section with some photos...
Any other input? I know I still need to expand, which I will do...I just need a bit of time...
Thanks guys, got some more responses to my query on the Bio and will be redoing it, just need time to think (School and life are taking up a lot of my time right now) about how to incorporate all of the suggestions. I greatly appreciate them though!
In the meantime, I set up a quick Facebook Page for Melina D Photography. If you click on the image of the pick in the Contact section, it takes you right there. Not much on it yet, but I'm adding as quickly as I can. It's been suggested to me that the pick takes away from the site..So I may be doing something different with that logo, I just figured I do a lot of work with bands so I thought it was a fitting logo. I'll work on something...
I wish I could open up some sort of store, but the domain package that I picked (Price wise) doesn't allow for that, and I can't financially do much more right now..Otherwise I would offer my Photography on all sorts of products through other companies galore! Not sure exactly how that works, but I would do my research. I am on a few stock photography websites (Corbis, Shutterstock), so I do have the ability to make money that way as well.
This whole thing is just getting up and running for me really, so I'm completely open to suggestions, improvements, criticism, anything...My feelings won't be hurt. Brooks (The school I got my BA at) taught little of marketing yourself after graduation, so this is all a learning process for me...And, not to make excuses, but with school..It's somewhat of a slow process! I'm doing my best with time management and balancing things out.
Thanks again guys. I'll work on updating the site with the feedback so far!
Oh Jebus...What is with my typos?? Again, I'm usually so grammatically correct. I wrote that Bio so quickly and last minute though, no wonder it's awful. I kind of just slapped it together. I didn't proofread it, to be honest (So I'm glad you guys are). I just fixed it.
I need to run out of the house for now, but keep the constructive criticism coming, I'll be back to read it all, take it in, and make changes when I get back home. Thanks everyone, it's greatly appreciated!
|Melina, I was just reading your bio again and you have misspelled "spending"..right after high school info I think...jan
Um, excuse me..your work is MAGNIFICENT.
just thought i'd let you know.
I think the site is really nice, if you want to adjust your bio, keep it strictly business with only maybe 10% about your personal life/interests.
I have been selling online for years and years, not just with this site, but others as well. I have sold things via shows, ebay, etsy, etc. (just sayin' so you can take my opinion from experience) I am easily doing mine full time and if I wanted to expand, I could hire a couple of people.
You need a niche market!
What is it you are passionate about? Pets!
Focus on them.
What do people who love pets want? /They want something unique, they want something personalized, they want things that appeals to them, they want to be able to show people, they want it to open up conversations about their pets, they want to showcase their pets etc.
How can you do that?
Research top sellers on ebay, or etsy, ask people on here what they would buy.
Just a few things off the top of my head would be, photographs that you can have put on mugs, greeting cards, I bought a photograph of my dog that was turned into an oil painting with Photoshop.
Join more message boards, you need to get a reputation, offer contests, prizes, all that stuff.
Get some price points that people can afford.
Just tossing ideas out there for you, you can take it or leave it. It may not be the direction you want to go, but it is food for thought
I think the site is nice, but I don't see what it is you offer that other photographers aren't.
I was told by a good friend that my Bio needs some serious revamping...I'm going to work with her on that as she knows what she's doing...But does anyone else have any input on what I might say? It needs to be more professional, less about "me", my dogs, the fact that I play guitar, etc. It needs to be straight up business, that's it.
As many of you know I'm in the process of seeing if I got the job of a lifetime..And I just want to know if I don't get it...How I can reflect on my website my capabilities and hopefully better myself for future opportunities, that's my only reasoning for bumping this thread back up. I'm open to suggestions for other portions of the website as well, not just the bio.
I can take criticism, please don't be shy or reserved, you won't hurt my feeling...
|Woop! Got more than one video up there now! Figured it out! Now I just need to take more videos to put up there.

Anyway, i really don't think it's a matter of having it or not...it's a matter of training one's brain and self to know how to channel and use that creativity. Learning equipment, exposures, compensations, compositions, lighting, post production, the list goes on...
I truly believe everyone is capable, it just takes some longer than others

I took all of my landscape panoramic pictures with a point and shoot camera!

"Great design, dismal quality!"
22 February 2013
This could easily have been a great product. I bought one last week but, after just three modest uses (mashed potatoes for a family of four), the bristles have just about given up the ghost. A shame, as the flexy pad idea really works well. Hard to believe the brush was ever tested under normal usage conditions. As it is, it's just an expensive piece of landfill.
A note from the team
Thanks for the review, I'm sorry that you've been disappointed with the bristles not lasting. We'll be in touch shortly to help.

Casey pushes protection of women in Afghanistan
American lawmakers should pay attention to corruption and the security environment in Afghanistan as the country prepares for its 2014 elections, Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey said Wednesday.
Casey, D-Scranton, one of several members of Congress who met with Afghan President Harmid Karzai as he opened a three-day visit to Washington, said the United States should continue to demand protection of Afghan women and girls during the transfer of security responsibilities to Afghan forces.
The White House said Tuesday it is preparing to withdraw most of the 68,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan and may leave no forces there after December 2014. Karzai is scheduled to meet with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Thursday and President Obama on Friday.
Casey said he emphasized with Karzai that engaging women in building Afghanistan society and government will help with its overall success. He urged better transparency in elections.
"I was upfront with him on my criticism of the 2009 elections," said Casey, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on Near Eastern and South and Central Asian Affairs, a position that could influence billions of dollars in U.S. aid to Afghanistan annually.
Casey said they talked about U.S. and NATO support beyond the troops' pullout date.
"We, of course, heard questions from him about how many troops will remain after 2014," Casey said. "He didn't necessarily express an opinion about a number but I think that the understanding that our government has with his needs to be more fully explored. I am not sure we are on the same page."
Casey's office said he and Republican Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Senate's minority leader, met with Karzai at the Capitol. Freshmen Sens. Deb Fischer, a Nebraska Republican, and Tim Kaine, a Democrat from Virginia, were present.
Casey said he and Karzai disagree about the handling of evident corruption in the last election. "I don't agree with his assessment," he said.
But Casey praised Karzai's dedication to helping Afghan women become involved in civil society. "Millions of girls are enrolled in school because of those gains and progress," he said.
In December, Congress passed a bill sponsored by Casey and former Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, to help Afghan women and girls as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
The Afghan Women and Girls Security Promotion Act requires the Defense Department and Department of State to produce a detailed report and recommendations on ways to protect women during the transfer of security responsibilities to Afghan forces.
Casey has said that making women's security a priority "will go a long way toward achieving our overall goal of a secure and stable Afghanistan."
Casey led a congressional delegation trip to Pakistan and Afghanistan in August 2011 with the intent of pressing government officials to implement a strategy to restrict the flow of ingredients used to make roadside bombs, the biggest killer of U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
He said upon his return that "significant challenges remain," and appeared to refer to Karzai when he added: "I hope to see continued development of the Afghan forces and believe that significant improvements must be made in Afghan governance in order to alleviate the war's burden on our troops, their families and American taxpayers."

Free Subway Rides For Many Today on One-Year Anniversary of Hurricane Sandy
Gov. Cuomo's good will gesture to MTA riders on the one-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy may be facing a few hiccups. The NY Times reports that Cuomo's plan to let R train riders in Brooklyn and A train riders in Howard Beach and the Rockaways in Queens ride for free today, could result in free rides for many more riders.
The free rides began at midnight today and will run until 11:59pm tonight. However, the NY Times reports that the actual implementation of this plan is proving to be rather difficult. The R train connects with 12 other lines in Brooklyn, making it hard for the MTA to prevent other riders from taking advantage of the free rides.
Officials opened the gates for the R train after midnight today and are hoping only R train riders take advantage. Cuomo's administration believes that people will honor the system in place and very few riders from other lines will take advantage of the free rides.

Keith Law Mock Draft
Big change near the top in Law's final first-round draft projection
This is my "final" mock of the first round of the 2014 Rule 4 draft, but I'll add updates over the course of the afternoon on Thursday as I hear new things. The common refrain from scouts and execs is that no one has a good idea of what they're doing because there's so much uncertainty above them, starting with Houston at the first pick. Very little will be settled until the Astros make a decision, and that probably won't come until the hour before the pick is made, just like last year.
Please note that this covers only the first round, which is just 27 picks because the New York Yankees, Texas Rangers, Atlanta Braves and Baltimore Orioles forfeited their first-round selections by signing free agents from teams that had received qualifying offers. (The Toronto Blue Jays have two first-round picks.)
For a look at my updated top 100 draft prospects, click here.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Probably too late a reply for you to use but.....
I have a 1967 Islander 33 flushdeck and the boom you describe is what I have as well. It roller furls from a crank on the gooseneck and the mainsheet is on the rear of the cockpit right below the end of the very long boom. I've installed reefing kringles and lazy jacks as I found the roller furl boom to be awkward to use.
As far as I know, the roller boom with aft sheeting was stock. I still use the original blocks for the main and jib sheets as well. Love the boat! Sorry, but 'Summerspiel' didn't come with a manual for me either.
Islander 33 manual
I have been looking for an Islander 33 user manual other than that displayed in the Islander Sailboat site. I am especially interested in how the boom was originally rigged. The boom now, on the Rosey Mae, is a 14' 8" roller type, which may not be original equipment. This boom was apparently main sheeted from the aft end of the boom down to a traveler on the transom, but it is unclear how, as all the parts may not be there. Most of the pictures of Islanders I see have the boom main sheeted at a mid-boom traveler. Any help, suggestions or pictures are appreciated as is any advice. Jerry

Complex Fluids: The Physics of Emulsions
Read this book online or download it here for free
Complex Fluids: The Physics of Emulsions
by M. E. Cates
Publisher: arXiv 2012
Number of pages: 43
These lectures start with the mean field theory for a symmetric binary fluid mixture, addressing interfacial tension, the stress tensor, and the equations of motion (Model H). We then consider the phase separation kinetics of such a mixture: coalescence, Ostwald ripening, its prevention by trapped species, coarsening of bicontinuous states, and the role of shear flow. The third topic addressed is the stabilization of emulsions by using surfactants to reduce or even eliminate the interfacial tension between phases.

Program trades bikes for exercise
2 1/2-year-old Iris Curiel is lifted onto the seat of her new tricycle by big sister Guadaulupe, 9, and brother Saul, 10, during a toy drawing and giveaway presented by Healthy Kids Chaves County Friday afternoon at the Cahoon [auth] Park swimming pool. (Mark Wilson Photo)
Who knew children could be rewarded for doing their favorite summer activities, such as swimming, playing games and visiting the park? Thanks to the Healthy Kids of Chaves County program, children won prizes for doing just that during a prize drawing at the Cahoon Park Pool, Friday.
All prizes were donated by local businesses and included soccer balls, backpacks, and coloring books.
But it was a shiny new tricycle and bicycle that many of the children were looking forward to winning. Jimmy Masters, a health educator for the New Mexico Department of Health, said the initiative began earlier this summer when worksheets became available for area children to pick up at several participating locations around town.
The worksheets included a variety of activities that focused on keeping children in motion. When a child would complete an activity, he or she would get the worksheet stamped.
Worksheet activities included bowling, touring museums and swimming. Masters said a completed worksheet must have 12 stamps to be eligible to enter the drawing and that participants could complete as many worksheets as they desired.
"The whole idea is to be active, be healthy, be safe,†Masters said. The Curiel family attended the prize drawing. They all gasped in delight when 2-year-old Iris Curiel's name was called and she was handed a new tricycle.
The tot's mother, Juana Curiel, said her children enjoy outdoor activities and going to Bottomless Lakes State Park.
"I try to keep my kids active (and) lead a healthy life,†Curiel said. Josue Carranza, 10, won the bicycle, and says though he knows how to ride a bike, he did not have one of his own.
One of his favorite activities is to go to the Boys & Girls Club with his older siblings.
"We … play a few games, like basketball, swimming, and we run.â€

I have been reading The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris. As part of his evolution in becoming one of our greatest presidents, TR mounted an unsuccessful effort to become mayor of New York City.
In his nomination speech at the Republican convention, Roosevelt proclaimed himself a strong man who was careless of class, color or party politics: "If I find a public servant who is dishonest, I will chop his head off if he is the highest Republican in this municipality!"
As I read that, I reflected on the current saga of Utah Attorney General John Swallow and the arduous delay and inaction of our milk-toast legislators. We need more Teddy Roosevelts.

Restless legs syndrome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Restless legs syndrome is a serious neurological disorder. It involves an irresistible urge to move certain regions of the human body to stop odd or uncomfortable sensation. This condition often involves the legs, torso, the head or the arms. Moving an affected part of the body modulates sensations, which may provide temporary relief. Around 75% of people who have RLS have problems involving iron. Other possible issues include varicose veins, sleep troubles, conditions involving blood sugar, ADHD or fibromyalgia.

Purchase Learn Spanish - Word Power 101 today to start mastering Spain Spanish vocabulary in the fastest, easiest, and most fun way possible!"
©2011 Innovative Language Learning, LLC (P)2011 Innovative Language Learning, LLC
"Easy to understand"
The speakers spoke clearly and slow enough to understand and repeat,The words where everyday words , not just words for traveling and reservations ,
"The native speaker is too fast"
The native speaker is too fast and you can't understand what he is saying. The words run together.
"good sample"
anothing crazy, just English and Spanish words read in order. Good way to sample vocabulary variety and get into the idea of committing to the language.
"PDF Download is the lesson-beginning vocab"
This was way better than there spam they advertised as audio lessons. This had an actual vocab list with images you can print out as flash cards as vocab just like it says. It comes with 3 sentences to use the word in as well.The audio portion only gives the spanish way of saying the words (not the sentances).It is hard to keep up with.
"Good resource for beginners"
This is a great resource for individuals who are learning Spanish for the first time. It was boring to me since I already knew most of the words. I also listen to books on tape while I run and this book on tape has adjunct visual lessons, which I obviously was not able to view while running. But if you are a beginner who is willing to sit and listen, it should be a great way to build vocabulary but not necessarily a wonderful way to learn how to put together sentences. The narrators simply repeat a variety of vocabulary words according to category (e.g. body, food, animal).
"Beginner Help to Learn Spanish"
An easy to follow guide to learning beginning basics of Spanish. Certain words repeated in Spanish might be difficult to understand clearly, but in general it was a very good basic refresher of the language. Smooth voices, and steady, but not too swift, flow of lessons.
Note: Certain things applied more to Spain Spanish than Latin American Spanish.
"loved it"
found this audible very informative and accurate and easy to follow. can't wait to do the next ones
"Fun and exciting"
Loved it.. The only thing was the sentences where said so fast it made it hard for me to repeat and that's because I'm learning.. Overall fun...
"Not well thought out"
I expected this to be straightforward and helpful vocab practice for new language learners. How hard could it be, right?
They did two big things wrong, however. Fix these two flaws, and it could have been far more useful:
1. It tries to use a 1-to-1 mapping to english words when no such mapping is possible. For example, it claims to present the Spanish words for "is," "was," "are," "am," "was going," "will go," and the like. Never mind that these verbs are conjugated in a complex way in Spanish, and never mind that there are two distinct words for "to be" in Spanish (ser and estar).
Similarly, at one point it teaches you that "hombre" means man (correct), and at another point it tries to claim that the word for man is "senor." It arguably makes sense in the example sentence that follows—but this could easily confuse students.
This makes it very difficult to use as a tape for practicing vocabulary—you don't know what word the narrator actually has in mind or why until you hear the whole example sentence.
2. The example sentences are too fast and complex for beginners.
The tape only teaches you one word clearly, and the Spanish reader does not enunciate the syllables of the example sentence well enough for you to learn how to say the whole sentence. Sometimes the conjugation changes, also, between the presentation of the word and the sentence.
This means that someone who is at a level where they need to learn the "101" most basic words in Spanish will not be able to recite (much less understand) the example sentences. If you are able to learn these lessons well, then they were too elementary for you to begin with. But if you need to learn these words, you will not be able to learn everything in these lessons. It's a catch twenty-two.
"Basic words"
As a complete novice to Spanish Language, this audiobook provided me a with a basic understanding of key words, of which I will build upon.

Image has just published its 25th anniversary issue (#80). We're pleased today to run an excerpt from a symposium in that issue entitled "The Road Ahead: Voices for the Next Twenty-Five Years," consisting of reflections by a group of writers under the age of 35.
Although I don't consider myself to have a finger on the pulse of culture (I'm not a journalist or a critic or an academic, but someone who writes mostly from a limited personal perspective), I do agree that the contemporary public square seems a safer place to be a Christian artist or intellectual than it has in even the recent past.
This is a strange position for Christians to find ourselves in, because we are much more accustomed to persecution than popularity. I can imagine, though, that if Jesus, with his wavy hair and mellow but antiauthoritarian attitude, chose to appear as a young man in America today, he might just as likely be crowned prom king as King of the Jews. And then where would humanity be?
Christians have never been particularly cool, no matter how hard DC Talk or our youth pastors tried to convince us otherwise. That's partly because our parents never allowed us to go to the good parties. But more because, historically, coolness is about detachment, distance, and self-assurance, whereas Christianity is about commitment, presence, and self-surrender.

Charge Your Smartphone While You Walk
New technology allows your steps to create an electrical current that could be used to power your mobile devices.
A small device placed in your shoe could generate enough wattage to power your cellphone with every step you take. The device is created by engineers Tom Krupenkin and Ashley Taylor from the University of Wisconsin. The technology efficiently harnesses kinetic energy and turns it into electrical current using Galinstan, a liquid metal alloy that is often used in thermometers. A press release explains:
Two small pouches are filled with a fluid that is designed using nanotechnology to generate an electrical current when compressed over and over again by the up and down motion of the foot.
Krupenkin and Taylor have formed the company InStep NanoPower which is creating prototypes of these kinetic devices.

Harry Payne Whitney (April 29, 1872 - October 26, 1930) was an American businessman, thoroughbred horsebreeder, and member of the prominent Whitney family.
Early years
Born in New York City, he was the eldest son of the very wealthy businessman and United States Secretary of the Navy, William C. Whitney and brother to William Payne Whitney.
Harry Payne Whitney studied at Groton School in Groton, Massachusetts then attended Yale University, graduating with a law degree in 1894. He was a member of the Skull and Bones.
In 1904, H. P. Whitney inherited $24,000,000 from his father and in 1917 approximately $12,000,000 from his uncle, Col. Oliver Hazard Payne. He married Gertrude Vanderbilt, a member of the wealthy Vanderbilt family with whom he had three children: Flora Payne Whitney (1897), Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney (1899), and Barbara Whitney (1903).[1]
As a sportsman
An avid sportman, he was a ten-goal polo player. His love of the sport was inherited from his father who had been involved with polo when it was first organized in the United States in 1876 by James Gordon Bennett, Jr.. H. P. Whitney organized the U. S. polo team that beat England in 1909. As well, he was a board member of the Montauk Yacht Club and competed with his yacht "Vanitie" in the America's Cup. Whitney also served on the board of directors of the Long Island Motor Parkway, built by his wife's cousin, William Kissam Vanderbilt II.
Whitney also enjoyed quail hunting and purchased the 14,000 acre Foshalee Plantation in northern Leon County, Florida from Sydney E. Hutchinson from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[2]
Thoroughbred horse racing
Harry Payne Whitney was a major figure in thoroughbred horse racing. He inherited a large stable from his father (including the great Filly Artful and her sire Hamburg, and in 1915 established a horse breeding farm in Lexington, Kentucky where he developed the American polo pony by breeding American Quarter Horse stallions with his thoroughbred mares. He was thoroughbred racing's leading owner of the year in the United States on eight occasions and the breeder of almost two hundred stakes race winners, first led by Hamburg and then led by his great sire Broomstick by Ben Brush. His Kentucky-bred horse Whisk Broom II (sire by Broomstick) raced in England then at age six came back to the U.S. where he won the New York Handicap Triple.
Whitney had nineteen horses who ran in the Kentucky Derby, winning it the first time in 1915 with another Broomstick foal, Regret, the first filly ever to capture the race. Regret went on to earn Horse of the Year honors and was named to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame. Whitney won the Kentucky Derby for the second time in 1927 with the colt, Whiskery. His record of six wins in the Preakness Stakes stood as the most by any breeder until 1968 when Calumet Farm broke the record. Whitney's colt, Burgomaster, won the Belmont Stakes and also received Horse of the Year honors. Amongst many, Whitney's breeding operation produced Equipoise and Johren.
Whitney's stable won the following prestigious U.S. Triple Crown races:
- Kentucky Derby:
- 1915 : Regret (voted Horse of the Year)
- 1927 : Whiskery
- Preakness Stakes:
- 1908 : Royal Tourist
- 1913 : Buskin
- 1914 : Holiday
- 1921 : Broomspun
- 1927 : Bostonian
- 1928 : Victorian
- Belmont Stakes:
- 1905 : Tanya (filly)
- 1906 : Burgomaster (voted Horse of the Year)
- 1913 : Prince Eugene
- 1918 : Johren
His Lexington, Kentucky stud farm was passed on to his son, C.V. Whitney, who owned it until 1989 when it became part of Gainesway Farm.
The benefactor to many organizations, in 1920 H. P. Whitney financed the Whitney South Seas Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History, Rollo Beck's major zoological expedition that sent teams of scientists and naturalists to undertake botanical research and to study the bird population of several thousand islands in the Pacific Ocean.
The Whitney Collection of Sporting Art was donated in his memory to the Yale University Art Gallery.
Harry Whitney died in 1930 at age fifty-eight. He and his wife are interred in the Woodlawn Cemetery, The Bronx. TIME magazine reported that at the time of his death, Harry Payne Whitney's estate was appraised by New York State for tax collection purposes at $62,808,000 net.

" Manufacturer: Samsung / Type: Vented / Design: Island Chimney / Lighting: Halogen / Width: 35 in. (90 cm) "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I had bought a built in oven and hob and needed something to compliment the look plus update the kitchen. This was to replace a bog standard Wickes extractor fan that was starting to look very grubby. At just over £200 you may think it would be more cost effective to buy another extractor fan, but if you are style conscious, you cannot do without one of these.
Packaging wise, it was a bit of a pain to get out, the instructions were not really that easy to follow, i found that i had to go over them again and again in order to fully understand what they were trying to get across. You get all the screws you need with this and some extras, either that or I missed a step in the instructions, but it hasn't fallen down yet so i think I'm safe.
You do not get a vent kit, which is basically an aluminium pipe, some silver gas tape, expanding foam and a wall plate. The screws are also only good if you happen to live in a modern house with not much space between the plaster and the bricks.
After buying some extra long screws with the right plugs and also the above mentioned vent kit, i set about installing this. I made some screw holes for the body in the wrong place, and then realised it would not fit so I drilled a bit further down, which again were not quite right. A few more attempts later i had it in the perfect place. Its a good thing all these holes are hidden behind the vent and the hood.
The hard part was getting the body onto the screws which took me about 20 minutes, once this was done, the rest was easy. It was just a matter of fitting the pipe into the existing hole which lead outside, using the foam to fill the hole, then taping the gas tape to the other end. I then fit the bracket to the ceiling and fit the steel hood to it. All that was left was to screw on the glass bit and job done. All in all, it took about an hour, but then I took my time. If the instructions had been a little more clear i may have done it in half the time.
Style wise, it looked superb, it instantly made my kitchen look a lot classier, plus all my mistakes were hidden behind the hood. Using it is simple, there is a button to turn on the lights, which are a pair of energy saving light bulbs. And 3 speed settings for the suck action. 1 being the lowest and 3 being the highest. It does get noisy at the highest setting but not enough to distract you. It apparently has an extraction rate of 470m3 per hour, which does not mean a thing to me, at 3 though it does work quite well and gets rid of all that greasy, steamy smoke.
It comes with a pair of filters that are probably only useful if you do not have it attached to a vent kit. These are easy to remove and clean. There is also an option to buy a charcoal filter in the manual. Again probably only useful to people with no vent kit.
Overall, I would recommend this as it will make you kitchen look better as long as you also go for a built in oven and hob at the same time.

December 19, 2011 — It was a tumultuous, fascinating year, with the birth of the Arab Spring; the devastating earthquake, tsunami and nuclear power plant crisis in Japan; famine and unrest in the Horn of Africa; and growing concern that Iran harbors nuclear weapons ambitions.
Students at the University of Virginia were able to assess and discuss these evolving world events in real time, participating in teach-ins and hearing firsthand from ambassadors from around the world about the potential impact of these developments.
Tunisian President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali was ousted Jan. 14 by a popular anti-corruption revolt, setting off a chain of events across the Middle East that has seen the demise of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the killing of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafiand rare Arab League oversight of Syria over a violent crackdown on anti-government protesters.
At U.Va., a hugely popular teach-in hosted by the Center for International Studies "Revolution in Tunisia, Egypt and Beyond: Democracy on the Horizon?" drew a standing-room only crowd.
The center hosted another teach-in following the March earthquake in Japan that featured a U.Va. professor who experienced the temblor firsthand.
The University's Ambassador Speakers' Forum featured old friends and new. Indonesia's ambassador to the United States, Dino Patti Djalal, engaged a large crowd with stories of his father, who was the first Indonesian student to attend U.Va.
The speakers' forum also featured ambassadors from Nepal, Japan, Morocco, Kenya, Turkey, Switzerland and Ghana.

There are no good books which are only for children. —W. H. Auden
Children's Book Week
That day in 2nd grade when I was grounded for riding the bus to Brynn O'Brien's house after school without telling my parents, I was also scolded by the school librarian for trying to check out Ramona the Pest, believed to be above 2nd grade—and so by extension—my reading level. She let me take it, but warned me that I'd better actually read it or I'd be back to Dick and Jane faster than a dog named Spot could run across the street to fetch a red ball.
I read it. Of course I read it. Probably more than once. And I continued to sneak into the older readers' section of my library week after week hoping she would let me take the rest of the Henry Huggins stories, the Chronicles of Narnia, The Pushcart War. (She did.)
The books I read as a child—probably the same way the books you read as a child—were a means of transport to other worlds. Some, a whole universe away and others that could have been across town but were equally enchanting. I worried all the way through The Tale of Peter Rabbit, knowing he would be caught by Mr. McGregor. I longed for Harold's Purple Crayon, not only for the delicious pies it could draw on a picnic blanket with such a marvelous instrument, but also for the holes it would draw and allow me to slip out of the current scene. Books were the place where perfect and terrible worlds were created, lending perspective, without my realizing it, to the world in which I actually lived.
This week, May 12-18, is Children's Book Week. According to its website, with its origins dating informally back to 1913, "Children's Book Week is the annual celebration of books for young people and the joy of reading."
The ABC of It: Why Children's Books Matter
It's perfect timing, then, that the New York Public Library's children's book exhibit is in full swing. While in New York City for the recent Tweetspeak meetup, we stopped in at the library for a fun and nostalgic look at the wonderful children's books and history on display in The ABC of It: Why Children's Books Matter.
Harold and his purple crayon were there. The Wild Things were there. We said Goodnight Moon and got a big smile from Alice's Cheshire cat. Aesop told his fables while Pooh and Piglet tried to hold their tattered original selves together. The Secret Garden—complete with its original hand-written manuscript—was there. A person with a soft spot for children's books might truly feel as though he'd fallen into the rabbit hole, not knowing which way to turn next, surrounded by such beloved characters.
The exhibit traces the history of children's books, from the time of the Puritans ascribing eternal significance to the ability to read, believing that a child must be able to read the Bible in order to be achieve salvation. Thank heavens for William Blake and his self-published Songs of Innocence, whose illustrated lyric poems pointed "the way for generations of children's writers and artists, from Hans Christian Andersen to Maurice Sendak, whose young heroes radiate inner knowledge and strength, and are unafraid to say when the emperor has no clothes."
This is the real beauty of children's books, for me: the way a fanciful story, an imaginary realm, a make-believe story can tell such bare-faced truth.

AIRprentice Slide Show Part I
AirPrentice is a good measuring stick for our sport. Riders submit photos and videos, each veying for a spot on the NSMB Team – and that sample gives us an idea of what riders are up to. In years past the roster's been overwhelmed by dirt jumpers and park riders. And that wasn't a bad thing.
Change seems to be afoot in 2010. This year there were no skinny jeans – aside from current team rider Justin Wyper. Okay Matt Montandon's pants were pretty tight, but most of the riders fell into the Big Mountain category – along with one single-brake hardtail rider.
While the AirPrenti were up to the challenge set forth by Silver Star's Oakley Vault, the 2010 riders seemed more interested in riding trails and going large. One of the best things about AIRprentice is the unexpected hijinx that pop up – and this year held the most surprises yet.
Here's the first part of our photographic look at this year's comp.
You know the party has started when Tippie arrives. It was as if the whole village gasped as he walked up the approach – in full Frorider regalia. The bullhorn is always a nice touch. Photo ~ Jerry Willows
On top of bikes the 2010 AIRprentice prize package included bags, packs and soft goods from Dakine, Maxxis tires, Andrew Sherry, Adidas Eyewear, Race Face armour – and a sick Nokia N900 phone. Photo ~ Jerry Willows
Matt Dennison (above) and Jason Lucas killed the filming and editing for this year's AIRprentice. If you missed it click here. On our first night we were hosted at the Bulldog – one of the best places to eat and stay at Silver Star. They are affiliated with the original Bulldog in Amsterdam. The staff are great and the food and drink are top notch. Photo ~ Jerry Willows
Next year we are going to put numbers on the front to help us sort the riders. This was a great group of riders to be around and every last one killed it on the bike. There weren't many skinny jeans in 2010 (only the guy we chose actually) and a few riders even wore *gasp* shorts. We had our first pyjama rider as well. Photo ~ Jerry Willows
The Oakley Vault is a good place to see the riders all in one place – and to check out how they deal with a group shoot. I think these guys would have liked a T Bar to get them back to the top. Photo ~ Jerry Willows
These step downs looked huge from our vantage point because the rider disappeared from view on landing. Here Mark Matthews follows Matt Montandon with the helmet cam that never worked. Photo ~ Jerry Willows
The big mountain types found ways to express themselves in the vault as well. Ian Morrison with his signature scrub. Photo ~ Jerry Willows
Paul Stevens followed that up with a rotation on a right hand hip. Photo ~ Jerry Willows
Cam Sorenson and the Silver Star trail crew rule. Prostar, a line they built just for AIRprentice, was the highlight of day one. It began with a berm entry to a step up with a dish landing. After the dish there was a smooth step down that lead into a very large hip. The hip was designed as a right hander, but 10 minutes of shovelling by the AIRprenti had it going both ways. Photo ~ Jerry Willows
Matt Montandon follows Ian Morrison down ProStar. The line should be open to the public now – but we'll get confirmation on that. Photo ~ Todd Hellinga
Scrubbing the forest clean, Tyler Gnitt pounces out of the trees. Kyle was our only pyjama clad rider, a first for AirPrentice. Photo ~ Todd Hellinga
Stand and be counted. Silver Star stepped it up large with the creation of ProStar for the AirPrenti to "breakin" for 2010. Was it a success? Well just put it this way, when we told them it was time to move on, they all snaked the line to get a few more runs in. Photo ~ Jerry Willows
Florian Feise originally from Germany, now hailing from Kamloops was very impressive. The quiet type of guy who lets his riding speak for itself. Saturday found him whipping it in the Oakley Vault. Photo ~ Jerry Willows
Mr Morrison, can we please see that whip again? Ian Morrison is a super talented consistent rider. Watching him ride was inspiring. Riding like this secured his presence in the top 5 at the end of Sunday.
Here a whip, there a whip. Everywhere a whip whip! Big Mountain riders take the limelight. Ian Morrison (left) and Paul Stevens (right) send it off the final stepup on ProStar. Originally the line only went right, but 10 minutes a few shovels and some elbow grease and the AirPrenti had the step up going both ways. Photo ~ Jerry Willows
Skye Schillhammer (left) and Connor MacDougall prove that riding with friends is way more fun than riding alone. Even if it it means railing one of the best known features in Silver Star, the World Cup wall rides together. Photo ~ Dave Hord
This was a banner year for photographers. We had five talented lensmen pointing their cameras at the riders – and their results were splendid. Comments here…

Knights Key RV park and Marina has been a destination for campers for over 50 years. If you long for that laid back Florida Keys life style, the way things used to be, you are going to love it here. We are not as fancy as some of the newer parks but we do offer the tropical island feel vacationers are looking for. Our staff is made up of friendly, knowledgeable locals that will gladly help with any needs. We are located in Marathon in the heart of the keys! At mile marker 47, at the north end of the Famous seven mile bridge on the Atlantic side. Our unique location offers quick access to the gulf or the Atlantic and it is only 5.5 nautical miles to Sombrero Reef one of the most magnificent coral reefs in the Keys! Knights Key is only 16 minutes away from Bahia Honda State park, voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We are also the home port for the Pigeon Key ferry boat, which offers numerous daily trips to the historical Pigeon Key.
I am sure you have heard the term "enter as strangers leave as friends" before and though I can't prove it I'm pretty sure it originated here on the fun island.
Your hosts Randy, Deb and our great staff at Knights Key.

Rove keeps on spinning to defend the secret donations to his GOP slush funds
Research ››› ››› ADAM SHAH
On CBS' Face the Nation, Karl Rove continued to defend his GOP-aligned political group from criticism that it does not disclose its donors by using falsehoods and obfuscation.
Rove falsely claims "you don't" know sources of union revenues
Rove: "You don't" know who people funding unions are. Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer asked Rove: "Why is the public interest served by flooding our politics with money from people who don't want other people to know they've contributed?" In response, Rove claimed: "This has been going on for a long time. In fact, you left out a big player in this. Four unions alone will have, according to their own announcements, spent $222 million in money on elections this year." When Schieffer responded, "but we know who they are," Rove replied:
ROVE: No. No. No. No you don't Bob. Here's the disclosure report for the -- for one who's going to spend 87-and-a-half million dollars, the American Federation, of State, Community -- Local and Community Employees [sic: American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees]. There's their disclosure of where the money's come from, that one line right there. They're going to take in $190,477,829, and that's the extent of where you know where it's coming from.
In fact, AFSCME's money came from union members. As Politico's Ben Smith has pointed out, unions are subject to extremely rigorous disclosure requirements:
While they aren't required by the FEC or IRS to disclose donors, a separate piece of federal law, the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act, requires that unions disclose all sources of income that adds up to more than $5,000, a requirement overseen by the Department of Labor. As a result, unions disclose more than many political groups about their internal operations, and certainly more than than do 501(c)(4) nonprofits like Crossroads GPS or 501(c)(6) groups like the Chamber.
Indeed, AFSCME's 2009 report (available through this database) to the Labor Department showing that AFSCME received $190,477,829 -- the number Rove cited -- in dues from its affiliates (called a "per capita tax"). And the AFSCME constitution provides that affiliates must collect the per capita tax from the union dues of its members. A list of AFSCME affiliates is available on AFSCME's website.
Rove falsely claims progressive 501(c)(4)s previously funded ads expressly supporting or opposing a candidate "with undisclosed money"
Rove: Progressive groups have used groups "with undisclosed money for years and years and years and years and years" to attack Republicans. Defending donations to his slush fund, Rove also claimed:
ROVE: Bob, I don't remember you having a program in 2000 when the NAACP spent $10 million from one single donor running ads anonymously contributed attacking George W. Bush. The -- suddenly, everyone's gotten spun up about it this year when Republicans have started to follow what the Democrats have been doing and create 501(c)(4)s, which can use less than half their money for express advocacy. But you have the Environment America, Feminist Majority, Humane Society Legislative Front, NARAL, Vote Vets, Human Rights Campaign, Planned Parenthood, League of Conservation Voters, National Resources Defense Council, Defenders of Wildlife, and a bunch of others, which are all liberal groups that have been using 501(c)(4)s with undisclosed money for years and years and years and years and years and spending tens and billions of dollars.
And it's never been an issue until the president of the United States on the day when we have a bad economic jobs report, when we lose 95,000 jobs in September, the unemployment rate is 9.6 percent, the president of the United States goes out and calls conservatives like the Chamber of Commerce and American Crossroads GPS and says that these are threats to democracy because they don't disclose their donors. I don't remember him ever saying that all these liberal groups were threats to democracy when they spent money exactly the same way we are.
In fact, before 2009, groups were banned from using corporate money to advocate for the election or defeat of a candidate. Rove's suggestion that progressive groups have been spending money in the same way that American Crossroads GPS is spending money is false. As the Supreme Court has stated, the Federal Election Campaign Act as amended by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act "makes it a felony for all corporations -- including nonprofit advocacy corporations -- either to expressly advocate the election or defeat of candidates or to broadcast electioneering communications within 30 days of a primary election and 60 days of a general election." Part of this ban had been in place since 1976. The Supreme Court struck down this ban in 2009 in Citizens United v. FEC by a 5-4 vote.
Therefore, before this election cycle, it would have been a crime for non-profit corporations like the ones Rove mentioned to expressly advocate for the election or defeat of a candidate.
Rove has repeatedly relied on falsehoods to defend secret donations to his GOP-aligned slush fund
Rove claimed that donations to his slush fund are similar to donations to CAP. Rove has previously suggested that anonymous donations to his slush fund are similar to anonymous donations to the Center for American Progress. However, unlike Rove's slush fund, the Center for American Progress does not run political ads.
Rove claimed that donations to MoveOn.org doesn't "report their donors." Rove has previously asserted that, in addition to the Center for American Progress, MoveOn.org does not disclose its donors. In fact, MoveOn.org funds its political activities thorugh a political action committee (PACs). This PAC, MoveOn.org Political Action is subject to the same disclosure requirements as political parties, and is required to disclose their PAC donations to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). As The Washington Post's Greg Sargent reported, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough retracted the similar claim he made about MoveOn.org Political Action.
Rove claimed that Obama campaign did not disclose its donors. Rove has also asserted that Obama "had no problem at all not disclosing his own donors, tens of millions of dollars in contributions to his campaign, that did not -- whose donor names were not revealed." In fact, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, 90.2 percent of all of the donations Obama recieved over $200 were reported to the FEC with the name and occupation of the donor.

I've been watching my favorite team, and I think the San Diego Chargers are doing a great job in the preseason!
The Chargers had a big win in their first preseason game when they beat the Green Bay Packers 21-13. Then in Week 2 they had a big comeback against the Dallas Cowboys to beat them 28-20. On Friday went on the road and beat the Minnesota Vikings 12-10 for their third preseason game.
I got to go to the first preseason game this year. It was exciting to be there, especially since my Bolts beat the expected Super Bowl winners. I'll be watching the Chargers on Thursday against the San Francisco 49ers, so I hope they can keep up the good games into the season!

I was at the Colts vs Rams game a few weeks ago. ( In case anybody didn't know ) Although, the Colts are currently 1-2 in the Preseason. But hey, it's only the Preseason, the Regular Season is when it really counts. I think the Colts will go 8-8 this season, just miss the Playoffs but make them next year.

About Me
Howdy folks.
I'm seeking friendly togs who think outside the box to revamp my folio.
My current hair colour is a sort of orangey reddy browny .... it varies every time I wash it actually.
I'd especially like to shoot around the south east coast of England not only because it's where I currently live but because it's weatherbeaten and beautiful and I'm totally in love with it.
I practice aerial acrobatics as a hobby. I have a collection of my own aerial hoops, a pair of my own aerial straps, and access to silks ropes and trapezes which can be used for shoots at studios or locations with appropriate rigging points. I am keen to shoot more creatively using these apparatus, I want really edgy exciting unusual beautiful shots for this stuff. If you want to shoot me sitting in the hoop looking like a pretty show girl - been there, done that, and really not interested I'm sorry.
I'm still a trained make up artist with a massive kit and I still have all my fashion and costume qualifications so am able to style up shoots if such means aren't readily available to us elsewhere, although I'm more than happy to let someone else take the reins in this department to add a little more diversity to my folio. I should mention I currently work in two bridal shops from whom I can borrow big gowns for worthy shoots if required.
I'm really excited about collaborating with other models so if you like my style get in touch and let's make some mischief!
I'm also interested in doing work that will be heavily edited in post production to make it look like something out of a dream. See my list for ideas of the sort of styles I would like to achieve.
If any of this sounds like you please get in touch, I'm not in the habit of time wasting, but I don't always get on this site as often as I'd like. You can email me on email@example.com if I take too long to respond here on MM, but please link me to your port and say where you found me. Thank you!

Will Bradley Cooper join Marvel's upcoming "Guardians of the Galaxy" - as a talking space raccoon?
According to fanboy website Latino Review, the Oscar-nominated actor has been offered the role of Rocket Raccoon.
Bradley would voice the character - a talking genetically engineered critter with a love of explosives and weapons - in the Marvel movie that has already begun production.
This is the latest casting rumor surrounding the movie with rampant talk of Vin Diesel being offered the role of talking space tree Groot, who is a close pal of Rocket Raccoon.
If cast, Bradley would join Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Glenn Close, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, John C. Reilly and Benicio Del Toro.
WATCH: Clark Gregg Is In 'Geek Heaven' With Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D
"Guardians of the Galaxy" is slated to blast into theaters on August 1, 2014.

Yes. You should be tax on what you buy not what you earn.
If so, what do we replace it with?
1. The fair tax
2. Flat tax
If not, why?
Yes. You should be tax on what you buy not what you earn.
In TX, we get property taxed to death. I don't think that is fair. I'd rather see the property tax go away, and pay double in sales tax. We added up all of our saletax last year, and itw as only $1000 - this was including all the stuff we bought for our new house. I'd rather pay double - $2000 than pay the $4000 I pay a year now.
Plus, that would actually give the state MORE money - and it would be fair - Even the people with all the children who own no property and live in apartments would have to pay their share. I have no children, yet almost $3000 of the $4k I pay goes to my school district. Ugggggg
Im all for a national sales tax to replace the current income tax, but I would like to see a major reduction in unnecessary spending at the federal level. Much of our tax dollars are wasted on bogus programs. Just getting rid of the IRS would save big bucks. We need to minimize our federal government and revamp the tax system. The simpler, the better.
I've said what I will say on the matter... not gonna argue anymore...
Give me some credit. I understand the way it works. I say that it still penalizes the landowners while giving the advantage to the actual consumers of the school system.
As far as not having children and still paying tax for schools, I think there are a couple why must they benefits to consider. First, we must maintain a system so that when they do have children its there. Second, weather you have children and theyre grown or you have none at all we all benefit as a Country with an educated population.
I do think that at some age, say 65 maybe, school tax should be removed from an individuals property tax bill.
I still say that doubling the saletax would be fairer to everyone involved, and the state would benefit more.
I want to read NEAL BORTZ'S book. Whatever you buy gets taxed!!! Va,taxes me to death,wonder how folks from CAL/N.Y. live?????? Randall

Fair tax. But almost anything would be better than what we have now.
As of now, all that is one the plate is the Fair tax and Flat tax.
I don't see the flat tax being better. Why?
First it's not fair, say the flat tax is 10% and kansas_plainsman makes 100k per year while Mr. P makes 50k. KP pays 10k in tax and Mr., P pays 5k.
Now what benefit did KP get from the Government for his extra 5k in tax that Mr. P didn't? zip none.
See why it's no better. All my opinion of course.
