With 53 years of experience at The Indiana Gazette under his belt, former managing editor Carl Kologie was the guest speaker Friday at the Gazette's annual School News reporters' luncheon.
The luncheon this year was held at the Rustic Lodge in White Township, and student writers and their advisers from Harmony, Homer-Center, Indiana County Technology Center, Marion Center, Penns Manor, Purchase Line and Seeds of Faith were in attendance.
Kologie, Gazette managing editor from 1993 to 2003 and a sports writer and editor for years before that, offered his views on how journalism has changed over his career.
"When I started at the Gazette, it was a typewriter, cup of coffee and a cigarette … like Jack Klugman in 'The Odd Couple,'" he said. "Linotype machines used hot lead type in the composing room and makeup men did the pages. If they dropped the type, it had to be sorted out."

When the Gazette moved in 1970 from Philadelphia Street (where the courthouse now stands) to its present location on Water Street, the company shifted from hot type to offset printing.
"Technology kept so far ahead of us that we had just learned one system in producing the paper, when a more advanced technique was perfected. It was a continual learning process," Kologie said.
Back then, the collection and dissemination of information was different from today. Reporters drove to the scene of a sports event, a fire, a school board meeting, and then drove back to the office to type in the information. Today, information is available at any moment.
"The Internet, mobile phones, citizen journalism … and social networking are the new wave in reporting the news," Kologie said. "You do it yourself, on the Internet or cellphone, and you can get the latest news on anything you want."
All in all, Kologie said, the effects of technology in recent times have created a revolution in the way journalism thinks of itself.
"People are more connected on levels greater than ever before and the media are bowing to the will of the public domain, and citizen journalism is undermining the old concepts of both who produced the news and who the audience is," Kologie said.

He also told the student reporters about some of the highlights of his career:
• He was assigned to cover the first indoor football game between Indiana State College (now IUP) and Montclair State, a game scheduled for Nov. 23, 1963, in Atlantic City. The game was canceled after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on Nov. 22. Kologie went instead to Washington, D.C., and later wrote about waiting in line at the Rotunda of the Capitol to see Kennedy's body lie in state.
• After covering a high school football game the night before the disastrous Indiana Hotel fire in 1966, he was on the scene early in the morning helping firemen roust people from the Philadelphia Street hotel and then writing about it the next day.
• Country singer Glen Campbell visited the Indiana County town of Glen Campbell in 1971. (The town was founded in 1889 and named for Cornelius Campbell, the first superintendent of the Glenwood Coal Co. in the area). A local girl from Purchase Line was lucky enough to be featured on a cover of TV Guide with the singer, while wearing curlers in her hair.
Kologie also covered the Sugar Bowl in 1979 and 1982, the Orange Bowl in 2006, golf tournaments including the U.S. Open and the Ryder Cup, the Kentucky Derby and the Indianapolis 500, among other events.

Update Wednesday Aug. 28: Latest air quality and smoke information here.
Update Monday, Aug. 26: From the local website MyMotherLode:
The Tuolumne County Air Pollution Control District has extended the Air Quality Alert for Tuolumne County due to smoke impacts from the Rim Fire. The Air Quality Alert is now in effect until 12 PM on Wednesday.
Update, Sunday, Aug. 25: As the 200-square-mile Rim Fire burns west of Yosemite National Park, smoke continues to be a problem for areas to the north and northeast—notably the Lake Tahoe basin and the Reno-Carson City area. Heavy smoke forced cancellation of a popular Lake Tahoe air show on Saturday, partly out of concern about visibility, partly out of concern for spectators who would be outdoors breathing unhealthy levels of particulate matter.
And the smoke just keeps coming. Air-quality officials in Tuolumne County, where the Rim Fire was raged for more than a week, today issued an air-quality alert warning all residents to avoid prolonged outdoor activity. (Of course, that's a problem for wildland firefighters, who may spend days or even weeks at a time in the midst of heavy smoke.)
Farther from the center of the fire, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's AirNow site shows a large swath of smoky air rated as unhealthy stretching from the central San Joaquin Valley, across the Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe region into northwestern Nevada. And the smoke forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration promises a spike of smoky air in the Lake Tahoe and Reno areas early Monday morning and only a slow improvement over the next several days.
Original post (Friday, Aug. 23): The fire racing through forests on the western boundary of Yosemite National Park is causing serious air-quality issues around the Lake Tahoe basin and in Washoe County, Nev., which includes Reno, and in the Nevada state capital, Carson City. NOAA satellite photographs (above) show massive smoke plumes spreading northeast from the Rim Fire, which has burned 105,000 acres since it ignited earlier this week due to as-yet-undetermined causes.
The Washoe County Air Quality Management District issued an advisory for air with high levels of particulate and ozone pollution. The agency rates the air today as "unhealthy" for all groups—both the general population as well as sensitive groups such as children, seniors, and those who suffer from long-term heart and lung conditions. Unhealthy air conditions are expected to last at least through the weekend.
Earlier this week, the American Fire, burning in heavily forested hills northeast of Auburn, also spread smoke across the Tahoe-Reno area. That fire has burned about 20,000 acres and is 66 percent contained.

PHOTO/VIDEO: David Beckham. In Underwear. (Because, why not?)
So, naturally, MARCUS D. found this artcile online and I HAD to look. It featured some still shots from David Beckham's recent H & M campain. Did you see his commercial during the big game? I've reposted it below, just in case. :)
Apparently there was a rumor that his, um, you know, was "enhanced." His PR reps clarified and stated that all photos were, in fact, "au natural." Click HERE for a larger picture and judge for yourself! CLICK HERE

As the year of 2010 has gone away, it is time to acknowledge the best film with a success at the box office. In the business world, everybody from theatre owners and analysts to head honchos of cinema complex and distributors had a common response in terms of return of investment, the best picture of the year 2010 is none other than 'Dabangg', which made 140 crore.
Not only that the film managed to do great at the box office, but it also brought a super price in terms of the satellite rights. Even the music from the soundtrack of 'Dabangg' did quite well after the film had been release for a while.
Even the costs of the film were acceptable, mainly because the only big thing in the picture was the Bollywood actor Salman Khan. As the leading lady and the director were not that popular in the film industry, their fees were not that impressive. The sets were not extremely extravagant or overpriced, but as a hole 'Dabangg' managed to be the best of 2010.

Advice on building a half wall?
Hey Guys,
I'm a new DIY'er and working on a bathroom remodel. I have the whole room demo'd and have 80% of the plumbing in for the shower so far. I want to build a half wall in the outside space of the shower where I am going to enclose the last of 3 body sprays. (The other 2 already in, one in the inside wall and the other in the front wall) I have a space of 5 ft to work with and I'm thinking of making the wall 4 ft tall (my wife and I are short, 5'0" and 5'9") by 2ft 8 in. That would leave 2ft 4 inches for the doorway to get into the shower. I'm attaching this to a cement floor, so my main question is do I need a pressure treated 2x4 for only the bottom plate or should I make this whole wall out of pressure treated lumber? Also, how should I make the wall, do the typical 16" space between studs so only one stud in the middle of this 32" length? And what about the height of 4ft? Would you split the differance and have a 2x4 going across in the middle at 2ft? And last question :no:, should I use Tapcon screws to attach this to the cement floor?
Thanks Guys for any help or direction you can provide!
I think I have a good idea of what your doing....
The only thing that needs to be PT is the wood that attaches to the concrete.
Make sure you use stainless or galvanized fasteners for the PT wood.
And remember....prevention is the real key...Don't let the wood get wet....
First, build the half wall solid. If you slip in the shower you don't want any flex ir movement. If you are going to tile the more solid the better. Consider installing a safety bar, your wife will appreciate it. Also, make sure you construct top of this wall correctly so no moisture seeps in any seams.
Hi, I don't claim to be an expert. but had been a union carpenter's foreman for27 years before being forced into retirement due to an on the job injury that caused a massive stroke. we did mostly commercial work. if I understand correctly? you want to build a half wall, that is free standing only attached to the floor 32"X48"? this is how I would build it if for myself. I'd use metal studs, not the flimsy 25 guage stuff you get at home depot or Lowes. but I'd try to find at least 20 guage, if not 18. 20 guage you can still cut with good tin snips, metal is as strong as wood or stronger when built properly. I'm not a fan of pressure treated wood used indoors in any way, eventually, it will emit an odor from the chemicals used to make it. I'd fasten the metal track to the floor using 1/2" expansion bolts, 2 at each end and stagger bolts every 8" or so between the ends. positioning the bolts so the edge of the washers would be as close to the flanges of the track as possible maybe 3/4" center of bolts from flanges. you'll have to measure, if you want to use wood as studs? that is fine, but double screw the studs to the track. I'd put a 2X6 blocking at 36" center above floor for a handrail. I'd get some of the metal strap lumber yards use to bind limber when hauling, and run diagnally from corner to corner, both sides to keep wal from racking. if you're going to tile said wall? I'd use concrete board or Wonderboard to cover the wall. you'll have to cut it with a saw. I'd run a good heavy bead of silicone one entire perimiter, even the top piece. also run 3 good beads of silicone under the track on floor, 1 on each side and a heavier bead in the middle. keep all the surface as smooth as possible! as any lumps, can make it very easy for tile to crack with little pressure. you may need to pre drill the Wonderboard for screws? but regular drywall screws will go into the 20 gauge studs and track, 18 gauge? youll need self drilling screws. once the wall is mounted to the floor, it'll take a good hard push to push it over! unliely to get pushed over accidentlly!
good luck
Awesome information! Thank you very much for your replies. I love the safety bar suggestion, I will definitely add that to the plan.
coupe - I love your idea. I'm at work right now and it is tough for me to really digest your plan on my phone, I can't wait to get home and really go through it.
Update on my wall - it will be attached to the front wall as well as the cement floor. The stud is currently exposed and ready for the wall to be attached. Also, the wall will be tiled as well. Does being attached to a wall eliminate the need for the binding with the metal straps, or would that still be a good idea?
Thanks everyone!
Metal Studs?
So far it has been difficult locating some 20 gauge or better metal studs. As expected, Lowe's and Home Depot only carrying the 25 gauge.
Anyone have any ideas on who to contact for this type of stud? I'm in the las vegas area.
Thanks Guys!
I'm not going to comment on wood vs. metal. I think both are OK and I don't believe the off gassing from a single PT sole plate for the wall will be a health hazard.
Do yourself a favor and no matter what method you use, use 2x6s or even 2x8s. Your wall will be thicker but it will also be expoentially stiffer and stronger if only because it is braced/fastened across a wider area on the floor and where attached to the wall. Anyone who builds a knee wall out of 2x4s is asking for trouble down the road if it has two open sides (top and end) IMHO.
Thank You Ironlight for the suggestion. I will definately do that. I got the idea for the half wall from a display shower at Bedrosians, and the wall measures 8" thick, so I guess there must be a 2X6 under there and with the tile on it bringing it out to 8 inches.
If the wall you are attaching the pony wall to is already opened up, run the top plate of your knee wall into the wall, and use blocking or whatever to attach. This will add a great deal of stability.
You can get what you need at places like this.

Turbo 350 Driveline Question
I am still chasing a drive line vibration in my 32 Coupe. I have replaced, checked all the obvious causes, but have two specific questions;
1. Should there be a SLIGHT wiggle at the trans tailshaft, IE bushing?
2. I am running -3 degrees at the trans, + 3 degrees at the rear end and +4 degrees on the driveshaft. Do theses sound right/good? They should work out to zero.
Thanks guys!
Should be very little wiggle if any at all.
Is the Trans Yoke engaging enough of the Tran's Output Shaft splines?
With the Rear Pinion Yoke disconnected you should be able to slide the Driveshaft into the Trans about 3/4". This is measured at ride height, suspensioned loaded.
Yes I have some wiggle at the yoke with the suspension loaded and drive shaft installed. BTW, the drive shaft is a new custom PST aluminum
The Angle is Ok, Min. is 1*, Max. is about 5*.
I would think TCI would use a new Output Shaft bushing and your new Driveshaft should be balanced correctly.
This is from Denny's>> http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/freq....html#faq_id10 according to them 3/4" is Min. & more than 1" isn't needed. I wouldn't think the extra 1/4" would be causing the wiggle/play but I could be wrong. You could slide it in more & see if it tightens up the play, if not the Bushing may be worn. If it's easily moved & the wiggle/play easily felt somethings worn.
I'm not sure what the clearance/tolerance is for the Yoke to Bushing.
I have one of these>> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Auto-...item1e61d70446 it removes & installs the Bushing without removing the Tailhousing. Real handy for 2004R Trans, as it doesn't have a removable Tailhousing.
The trans and the rear end should be at the same angle. Not + and - of each other, they should be in the same plane. If one is at +3 and the other at -3 that is off by 6, hope that it is just the way you read your angle finder.

VRSLY has teamed up with Stephen Hart from The Worship Project to bring you a brand new series we'll be running for the next several Fridays in the app. It's called "Fruit of the Spirit Fridays" and Stephen has designed a beautiful collection that we're excited to share with you! We've gotten to know a little bit more about Stephen during this collaboration and wanted to share our conversations so you can learn about him and his incredible project.
1. Tell us a little bit about yourself!
My family are all Christians as far back as I can tell. My grandparents are missionaries and church pastors. My parents moved our family from New Zealand to Australia when I was 2 to help start the first Christian radio station in Australia. So my formative years where divided between Australia and NZ - which made for a lovely mix of lush green countryside and vast red-dirt deserts!

2. What inspired you while making these designs and with TWP in general?
3. What was your process like?
4. What is your hope for people when they use your designs?
"I have so many hopes and dreams for what these designs will do for people, but I'll just list a couple.
Be sure to download and check VRSLY each Friday for a new "Fruit of the Spirit" design from Stephen! You're not going to want to miss these. And be sure to follow TWP on Instagram!

Southern Strokes' producer is located in the rural Southern United States, and he finds horny studs from all over the South to experience their first times stroking their cocks on camera and explore guy-on-guy sex. The guys range from 18 to their late twenties, and they have great physiques from slender and athletic to ripped and muscular, so you can expect plenty of well-built, good-looking guys. They're also at the prime of their sexuality, oozing with horniness and testosterone and willing to explore. It's been a couple years since our last visit, so it's time to take another look at Southern Strokes.
Each solo video opens with a short interview that lets us meet the guys and hear a little about how they came to be filming at Southern Strokes. One of my favorite guys is Connor, a stocky, blond 21-year-old who just had his first sexual experience with a guy six months ago. He's going to school and plans to become a doctor. He was at a party, got a little drunk, and ended up relaxing on a bed with another guy. He says they kind of just looked at each other and it happened. They started kissing, then they swapped blowjobs, and shot their loads.
The duo videos start off with the guys kissing and touching - they seem to be really into each other and the experience - and then move to sucking each others' cocks, doing some rimming and fucking in a variety of positions before the guys each cum. The action didn't feel faked to me, and it's always hot to see guys who are really turned on.
And that's how it generally goes on this amateur guy site. These jocks and studs arrive at the site and usually start off with a jerk-off video; then if they're into it, they explore guy-on-guy sex. These Southern hotties are often a little shy and tentative at first, but as the filming goes on they can be quite expressive, adventurous and even downright wild.
The site has gone through some changes since they opened in 2008. Back then, they featured mostly jerk-off videos with the odd guy-on-guy sex scene thrown in. (The first 12 videos on the site were solo guys jerking off, the thirteenth finally saw some guy-on-guy action.) But these days, they've done a full reversal: of the latest 11 videos on their homepage, five of them feature guys jacking off, six movies are hardcore sucking and fucking, and man - do those Southern boys know how to fuck.
All 275 Southern Strokes videos are available in WMV and QuickTime formats. There are either three or four different options for the downloadable WMVs, including one called "Super Res" at 1280x720 that isn't available on all videos (100 of the older videos don't have them) but their 960x540 and 640x360 options are still good. There are also three versions of QuickTime videos to download, the largest sized at 960x540. There's a link to stream each video, but in reality it's just another link to one of the downloadable videos that plays in your browser - honestly, I'd recommend downloading and viewing the vids.
Each episode also comes with a set of pictures. These are digital stills that are shown in thumbnailed galleries on the same pages as their corresponding videos, but there's a catch - all the linked thumbs lead to missing pictures. Luckily the pic sets are available packed in downloadable zip files that work fine. The pictures are sized at 640x960 or 960x540, show off the guys and the action well and are pretty good amateur quality, so they're definitely worth spending a couple minutes downloading the zip files.
Now for the downsides of this site. I was disappointed to discover a couple things when I logged in: First, the tour and member area claim the site has 516 videos, but in reality there are only 275, and the bigger disappointment is that the site has stopped adding new content. It still updates - sort of - by using older content as new updates - but no new content is being added. And there are some more issues, as well. The top of the first tour page has several thumbs; these are ads for a live cam site that will take you away from Southern Strokes. You'll get a pop-up if you hit back on the billing page. And as already mentioned, the full sized pics are missing from the galleries; you must save the downloadable zip files if you want to see the photos.
Here's a couple last thoughts, although these aren't precisely issues. First is that the trial gives only three days' access and is only a few bucks less than a recurring monthly membership. That being the case, why not treat yourself to a full month? Despite the lack of updates, there's definitely enough to keep pretty much anyone busy for 30 days. And btw, the non-recurring monthly membership costs $13 more than a regular recurring monthly membership; since the recurring is so easy to cancel, it makes more sense to get the recurring membership to save a few bucks and cancel when you're ready.
Southern Strokes delivers hot and horny amateur guys, most of whom you won't have seen anywhere else, and I like that a lot. There's nothing worse that having some site blazing "Watch John getting fucked for the first time" only to head off to some other site and find John getting banged by another dude. Most of these Southern studs are the real deal - amateur guys who haven't done gay porn before and many truly are having their first jerkoff or gay sex on camera. Most of them are pretty good looking and well built; some are regular guys, some are hot jocks, and with 275 videos on hand, you won't have trouble finding heaps of guys to turn you on. Despite the lack of updates and other issues, there's enough videos to keep members busy for a month or two; I really like the site and I still recommend Southern Strokes.

Wow, very detailed lil helm. PM sent
Got the helmet and I have to say, it looks great! On the down side, it's too small for my daughter. She's 10 and about 4'5". However, it will be perfect for my nephew. He's 4 and I know he will love it. Thanks JD!
Can't believe I missed this thread! Wow, that's a very cool smaller helmet for the kids. Most impressive.
What about skinny little me? I know some people that can't even fit a DP '95 over their noggins, and I had to pad both sides of the inside of mine to have it hold my head.

Finally... the perfect helmet for Mirax!!
how much are the helmets
Got my helmet, wait my son's helmet. It looks great and received it in record time. Now to gather the info and courage to start the build.
I never imagined that this would be such a populated thread. I origionally thought two people wanted this done, and look what happened. I think these turned out better than my regular jango helmet. (second time's a charm ) Best of all, they're in the same $$ range as a rubies, but gelcoated fiberglass, and a chrome plated steel rf stalk. The rf is designed to be permanantly in the upright position, for child safety reasons. Delivery time on these is about a week. Any questions, pm me.
Your kids helmet look s great! I want one for my 7 year old son!
i couldnt figure out how to PM you...
please email me any info on this helmet, i have a 7 year old who would love one...
thanks alot!
It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who is passing on my Fandom as well as "Geekdom" (in my wife's loving opinion) to my son.
Great work on the helmet!
Here is my son's (Brady Fett) finished ESB Kids Helmet.

Thanks Dwedd. The helmet is great, a dream to work with.
A couple more pics of him in his helmet and jet pack are in this thread http://tdh.prop-planet.com/viewtopic...=10205&forum=1
Happy Hunting
I must say, you certianly turned it into a work of art. A few others have finished these little buckets very nice also, both as Boba, and Jango. Perhaps they would like to display them again, here in this thread.
Here is a comparison between my mystery helmet and my son's JD helmet. I have to admit that I didn't spend as much time and effort into the small helmet's paint job as I did my own...I'm a horrible father!
Damn, the curse of the red X's.
Awesome job guys! Can't wait to get mine and do them up. My son is going to be ecstatic when he finds out I got him his own "real" helmet.
The pics show up now, and they look great! You're not that horrible of a dad.

Dimitrios Kriaris - Father Arrested After Allegedly Using Dog Chain And Tire To Confine Toddlers To Porch
Bellaire, Ohio (The Weekly Vice) -- Dimitrios Kriaris, a 35-year-old Bellaire, Ohio man was arrested Tuesday on allegations of using a dog chain and a tire to confine two toddlers to his front porch, and then leaving them outside for long periods of time.
According to police, Kriaris allegedly chained his 22-month old and 3-year-old children to a tire on his front porch and then allegedly left them there for extended periods of time.
Police became aware of the alleged situation when neighbors called Bellaire police. One neighbor told authorities that the two boys had gotten tangled in the chains and were covered with dog feces on at least one occasion.
Police say one witness reported seeing a child tied to the tire for a 30 minute period, while another said both children were left alone in the back yard for as long as two hours.
Investigators who responded, confiscated the chain and then found 125 prescription pills that appeared to have been packaged for sale.
"They went back and found several prescription drugs not in proper containers with no one's name on them," said police chief Mike Kovalyk. "They were various pain medications. I don't know exactly what they were. We feel they were packaged for sale. There were several pills in baggies."
Police also say Kriaris has a criminal history, including a conviction for possession of drugs with intent to deliver and a pending case of domestic violence.
Kriaris' wife defended her husband, claiming "We didn't do anything wrong and he didn't do anything wrong. And if I ever thought that my husband would do something like that, he wouldn't be around these children."
Kriaris was taken into custody at about 4 p.m. Tuesday and booked into the Belmont County Jail on charges of child endangerment, drug trafficking and drug possession. His bond was set at $5,250.
The two boys were released back into the custody of their mother and will be monitored by child services.
The Weekly Vice Opinion:
Once more, a woman is standing up for her live-in penis instead of her own children. Could she perhaps be right? Could this really be a kind family man as she is leading local media to believe? It's an interesting claim to make considering the drug charge follows his history and there's a pending domestic violence charge.
Good try, wife. We aren't biting. It's really too bad the neighbors on the street have to do what you refuse to do.
Be glad you weren't charged as well. Be glad you still have your kids. In many other counties, you wouldn't have been so lucky.

Amen to that Danny. I am so pleased that child services is now keeping an eye on this. The mother is obviously not able to put her children first.

tied with a dog chain? How does one mitigate that? All a big mistake? It was snowing in our area several days this week, so that means these kids were out in the cold. Put this couple down. Both of them!

i am furious that the mother wasn't arrested.
"we didn't do anything wrong and he didn't do anything wrong..."
um. yeah. sure. that's why your neighbors called the police. because you guys are awesome parents.

can we chain the wife to the porch and say we did nothing wrong?
- January 5, 2009 at 1:12 PM
Long time, no see Crazyaqua. If we chained up two adults, first they'd call the police, then they'd try to sue... and when that all failed, they'd try to punish you by attacking your house in the middle of the night as paybacks.
A lot of people consider kids as property, not little people. So of course they see nothing wrong with chaining them out in the cold.

still makes me think? why can so many bad people have kids and many good ones can't? didnt realize i was reconized on here...thanks

In the world of football, nothing ever stays the same. Players age, clubs decline and managers come and go. The beautiful game constantly moves forward, and unfortunately that means someone has to get left behind.
Newcastle are a club who've suffered problems to say the least this year. They're arguably suffering from second season syndrome after finishing way above expectations in fifth at the end of their 2011/2012 Premier League campaign.
So perhaps it's time to get rid of the deadwood, especially now that Alan Pardew is watching over somewhat of a French revolution at St. James' Park, and the club brought in five new faces in the January transfer window.

School Closing Announcement in the Style of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' [VIDEO]
When there's a winter storm going on and you get that call from the school telling you that school is closed, it's usually done by someone who isn't great at the announcing aspect of the announcement. I don't blame them for it, but they can be a little stale and monotone.
Two teachers at a school called Stephens Elementary did a school closing announcement to the tune of Queen's "Bohemian Rhpasody." It's not the greatest performance ever, but it is the best idea ever for a school closing announcement.

Demi Lovato Lands First Radio No. 1 With "Give Your Heart a Break"
Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:40:49
Demi Lovato Photos
Demi Lovato Videos
There's a first time for everything, including your first chart-topping single.
Congrats to multi-platinum Hollywood Records recording artist Demi Lovato, who has scored her first No. 1 radio single with her smash hit "Give Your Heart a Break." [iTunes link] Congrats, Miss Lovato!
The song is No. 1 at both Media Base and BDS in the Top 40 format.
The single shipped to radio last December and steadily grew with the efforts of Hollywood Records' tenacious promotion staff, as well as several high profile TV appearances, magazine covers, sales initiatives, online marketing, and licensing placements. Deemz did it right!
Disney Music Group Executive Vice President, Ken Bunt, said, "We congratulate Demi on this fantastic achievement. She has had a remarkable year, and she's worked tirelessly with our entire staff to reach this milestone."
Congrats again on this huge accomplishment, Demi!
"Give Your Heart a Break" appears on Unbroken.
Are you a fan of this song?

We've had such a beautiful week on the Guest Blog this week, a massive THANK YOU to Luci Everett for sharing all these wonderfully good looking things next to each other! But the fun doesn't stop here, Luci has lots more good looking things over on her website and blog too. Thanks again Luci! – Jenny x
At my sharehouse the only toilet is outside which means I really get to see our jungle of a backyard evolve throughout the year. By jungle I'm talking fat palm tree (central feature piece), extensive bamboo forest, wall to wall creepers, unidentifiable night creatures (in the heights of the palm tree), 56 broken chairs, a few months worth of cigarette butts, a street sign from Albury, so forth. It's an oasis really.
I'd like to describe to you the wild origins of this whole collection, but I'll save that for a more appropriate medium to bore people. I will say those deep red leaves on the left caught my eye circa May 2011 when our backyard resident grape vine really put on a show. En masse, with the sunlight streaming in from the east, it was so beautiful that my eyeballs nearly melted into a puddle before I even got to the loo. Oh, nature.

Hi guys! Total newbie here with a question. I've made my helmet gauntlets, and jet pack out of cardboard and papermache. Huge thanks to every one here who posted templates and ideas and suggestions!:love
Now I want to strentghen them a bit to save em from dents and paint cracks from flexing and stuff. A friend suggested a coat of fiberglass resin painted over them with out the matting or cloth. Would this work, or am I inviteing disaster with a gooey mess, or a very rough surface with weeks of additional sanding?:confused
Has any one done this before, or is there something else out thier other than fibreglass that will do the same thing?
Cheers people!

How do we feel about the new 4 Series Concept?
Looking at the new 4 series it looks like it is a baby 6 series... All the way down to the interior... How do we feel about it?.
I was on another forum and some of the comments were basically that the 6 was ugly and the 4 was beautiful and I couldn't understand since the 4 is just a mini 6.. Lol.. Go figure...
I am worried about the exclusivity of the 6.. The last generation 6 stood out from the rest of the BMW Lineup.. With the new 4 will the 6 get lost in the shuffle?..
Side views of the 4 look pretty good.
But the front and rear are not so attractive to me.
I don't know how big it is but I assume its bigger than the 3. That's good imo because I always thought the 3 series was too small for its price point. The 3 has grown to 182 inches and I hope the 4 isn't too much bigger. 184-186 would be great. That should provide lots of leg room for taller men.
You beat me to starting this thread. lol
I like the 4 Series concept, and I think the production version will likely be brilliant. I think that this will be a good competitor for the E-Class coupe, which, to me, has always seemed like more than a 3er but a lot less than a 6er.
I love the new headlights - I'm a sucker for those LEDs. The interior, while better than the plasticky (albeit higher grade plastic than most cars) 3 Series, doesn't quite stack up to competing with the 6er when fitted with the Nappa, contrast stitching, and ceramic controls.
I don't think the 6er has to worry about losing its price...
1. Price: It should be a lot closer to 3er/5er price than the ridiculous 6er price, which, as we all know, is about $15k to $20k more than the equivalent 5 Series. The number of 4ers on the road will likely dilute the exclusivity - or at least keep the numbers closer to 3er territory than the scarce 6ers.
2. Looks: While I think the new design for the 4er is beautiful, the massive, long and low 6er can't be beat in a car so much smaller. The proportions of the 6er give it presence that smaller cars can't touch.
3. Power: I, and I think others here, love the big, grumbly V8 only available on the 6er. I know the day is coming where big V8s are going to be extremely rare, and I think the flagship 6er is likely going to be one of the last cars in the Bimmer lineup to hold onto the V8.
That being said, I think the M4 in Individual packaging just might be my next car - not sure but it's more likely now than with the previous gen M3. I love the M3 for driving, but the M3's interior just didn't cut it. The inline 6 for the new M3/M4 is rumored to make about 450+ hp, and that packaged into a lighter, more nimble car with Merino, Alcantara, and the best tech BMW has to offer is very tempting, particularly if it stays in the $80k to $90k range. But then there's the M5... No idea what my next car will be, but my point is that I think the M4 is going to be a formidable vehicle.
Gotta say that I agree with you Southern... Love the looks, presence, and grumbly v8 on my 6... I'm a sucker for a big GT car and a full size SUV like the all new Range Rover or SAV like the X6.. The way I see things I will always have one of those two types of vehicles if not both.. I honestly wouldn't consider a 4er..
The more and more I think about it. BMW targets two totally different segments for these cars.. The folks that they are marketed to love them. Which is a triumph all in itself for BMW..
4er is going to be geared to a younger crowd much like the current 3er coupe. 6er will always be much more exclusive. One thing that does bother me is that the interior and exterior styling is getting very similar between the different models. I was way behind an F30 and I had to get real close to be able to distinguish it from an F10. This is a trend that is being shared by most manufacturers these days, not just BMW. I completely understand different models sharing engines as that can drastically reduce R&D but please let there be some styling distinction between different models.
Luckily the 6er's sexy a$$ is distinguishable from a mile away. Luckily that is no longer due to the Bangle Butt :)
I like it and I'm planning to get the M4 convertible version of it. Sure doesn't have the luxury of the 6er which I don't think it needs since as hammadurb said it's targeted towards the younger crowd which to my surprise you Southern6er22 is one of their main targets but again you always said that you are an old man trapped in a young man body :rofl:
Initially, she's a nice looking car. I don't care for the interior (but it IS a concept car at this point...). It doesn't stand out from a 3er coup. Yes, yes - it has distinct front and rear looks, but when you stand back and quickly look at it, anyone other than enthusiasts will not be able to tell that's a 4er coupe vs a 3er coupe.
For example - the 3er coupe and vert (back at the end of the e30 days and the start of the e36 days) stood out. They even had some exclusivity. I had a 318i manual and I was the SH** to alot of people. Today, my wife doesn't even notice a 3er (I do, of course. But, again, enthusiast vs non).
Not sure why we need a *4* series at all. I mean a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6GC, 7... that's alot of market confusion. What's next? a 7 coupe? a 1GC? ;)
Has anyone else noticed that some of the woods on the 3 Series look a bit fake/cheap? I don't know if they're using real wood or fake composites, but one of the lighter woods I saw on a 3er looked like a big sheet of molded plastic. While I appreciate the variety from the traditional burl walnut, it just didn't look as sophisticated. The wood on this Concept 4er looks similar to the wood I'm thinking of - just darker - but I'll reserve judgment until I can see one in person.
The 1 Series has more leg room than the 6er coupe, so why not make a 1 Series Gran Coupe?!? lol.
I think it looks fantastic, at least in concept form. (Oh, those headlights!)
Maybe it's just me but I'm not digging the 4's interior aka F30's interior. The lines on the dash just doesn't flow. The pop-up style screen seems out of place. The E90/E92's dash was much more coherent. You can't compare the 4's interior to the 6. That's where the price difference speaks. The exterior of the 4 is sexy.
Here's an interesting comparison:
1 Attachment(s)
I am a little confused by this, so there is going to be a 4 coupe and 4 gran coupe and the interior seems pretty comparable to the 6 series. Are they planning on stepping up the luxury on the 6 series? If not it seems like the 4 will very much eat into the 6er sales.
It's a baby 6 series...
As long as it remains a "baby," I think the 6er won't have to worry about being dethroned. Sure, some will think that a 6 doesn't make good money sense if you can get so much out of a 4, but value has nothing to do with the 6er. The difference between a $60k car and a $100k car is enough to keep the 6er volume at a minimum, especially compared to a 3 Series - because, lets face it, the 4er is just the new 3er coupe that BMW is marketing as being more exclusive because its a coupe and it costs $2000 to $3000 more than it's 4-door brother. To the 3er market, $2k is a noticeable sum of money; to the 6er, $2k won't even get you Bang & Olufsen or the pretty, pretty headlights.
Furthermore, I doubt that BMW will make Nappa available on the 4er (though I could be mistaken), so the only way to get 6er levels of luxury is through Individual. Individual cars are so rare (particularly in the lower Series) that they can hardly be lumped into the 3/4 category.
Also, while the 4er looks striking in its concept form, will it be as dramatic once it comes off the production line? The F30 looks very, very different for being such a close relative. I can see the LEDs staying to make the case that the 4 >> 3, but I think they'll tame the beast before sending it off to market.
I would say that making the 4er so much different from the 3er would likely p!ss off the new 3er customers, but we've well established that BMW takes the "we did it because we can" line when it comes to these types of decisions.
The concept photos show an individual interior, it has an individual tag on the steering wheel.
Ready for it
I love my 6er but the wife says it is too big. She drives the F10 now but would like a smaller car. The 4er looks like it would fit the bill. She says the 3er is too small. If they'll put a V8 in that baby and fix the interior, I'd let her put in the garage pronto.:)
400 hp would be enough
I'm with you, Man. Juice it enough and I won't count the number of pistons either. 400hp & 400 ft lbs would move that baby just fine.
I can't wait for the carbon fiber body to come in the semi-near future. The weight of these cars is one of the biggest hurdles preventing near super car level performance. You've got the F13 M6 doing 0-60 in 3.8 seconds per some reports, and the 458 and MP4-12C about 0.5 seconds faster. Sure, the drivetrain tech and systems getting the power to the pavement help these cars along, but CFRP goes a long way in affording the power to weight ratios that make those cars so beastly. The M3 is pretty agile and chuckable as it is, so I can only imagine what it can do post-Atkins.

Dakarai Molokomme, a 15-year-old starving child from a small village in Zimbabwe, has just told Madonna, one of the most famous pop stars in the world, to go and f*** herself, the local media are reporting exclusively.
"Yes, it's true, I told Madonna to go f*** herself. Do you want to know why?" Dakarai asked. "It's the same thing every time with these snobby rich Americans. Every once in a while they come to show us their support for the so-called eradication of poverty by adopting a child from a starving family, but they actually do more harm than good. Transracial international adoptions are part of the white savior industrial complex," Dakarai explained.
In further discussions with journalists from the media, the kid stated that "none of the children here actually want to be taken away from their family and friends so they can be displayed as some kind of trophy in the homes of self-righteous singers or actors who want to score some points with the media and Oprah."
"If they really want to help us, they should get Big Pharma to ship us some anti-retroviral drugs for the AIDS epidemic, or build schools and hospitals. If they don't want to do that, then they can all go f** themselves!" the child told reporters.
The 15-year-old also stated that he would say the same thing to any one of those American or European "faux humanitarian posers", except for Bono, whom he said he would also kick in the groin.
"Bono's efforts to save the African savage from itself prove that the colonial imperative is alive and well," Dakarai said as he walked with other village children collecting sticks to build a tree fort.

'Hello Hello Kitty', the come-back video for South
Africa's premiere MC Tumi is here!
During the past year Tanzanian-born, South African poet/MC Tumi
Molekane has been travelling around Africa performing festivals and
shooting a documentary film with director Vincent Moloi, tracing
back his childhood in exile and re-establishing musical relationships
he has cultivated over his career. This expedition has come to inform
his forth-coming album Rob the Church, his first since parting ways
with his ground-breaking band Tumi and the Volume.
For the lead single Hello Hello Kitty, Tumi drafts in another visual
creative leading light, award-winning Kenyan filmmaker and afro-
futurism champion Wanuri Kahiu. Mutual admirers of each other's
work, their exchanges online eventually led to their first meeting on
the video set in Nairobi. The result, Kahiu says, "pokes holes at the
idea of this uber-bubble gum life we are being swept up in. Without
making judgement about our observations of the world, the video
attempts to complement the song that marveled at the mix of social
consciousness and commercialization."
So while sonically, Hello Hello Kitty showcases yet another new
direction in Tumi's repertoire (Sowetan producer Al The 3rd and
Switzerland's Fred Hirsch handle the production), the compelling
social commentary typical of him remains constant.
Following a rousing performance at Malawi's City of Stars festival
and select shows in France, Tumi will present for the first time in
South Africa a set of entirely brand new material from Rob The Church
at the Johannesburg Market Theatre on Thursday 21st November.
Tumi's fans in Tanzania, Nigeria, Kenya and Uganda can look
forward to his second scheduled joint performance with Nigerian
alternative Soul singer Bez Idakula this weekend on Coke Studio
Africa, a hugely successful music television series whose premise is
to pit African artists from different countries and generations in the
same collaborative space.

MIA TEASER 2012 sm (by Maya Fan)
Happy Independence Day South Sudan!
Today, July 9th, 2013, marks the second year of independence for Africa's newest country, South Sudan. The Republic of South Sudan officially came into being on this day in 2011 after a referendum, determining whether or not the Southern region of Sudan should secede from the North, that passed with 98.83% of the vote, with President Salva Kirr Mayardit being elected as the country's first president.
There are over 60 indigenous languages spoken in South Sudan, and the main ethnicities in the country are the Dinka, Nuer, Bari, Murle, and Zande peoples.
I met Maya in 1998 at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. She joined the film degree program late, with no interview. She just blagged her way in on the phone and turned up halfway through the term.
We all dressed in dark colors and talked serious art theory. Maya wore skintight pink jeans and stilettos, she had pink lipstick and fingernails, and she couldn't spell. Her accent was South London, but her grammar was always kind of off and she wasn't very articulate, didn't talk much in class (and 90 percent of the degree was talking because we didn't have much equipment)
She wasn't a stand-out student.

Ballard man is awarded three US patents
Norman J. Englund was awarded his third patent from the United States Patent Office on December 30, 2008. Englund is an associate technical fellow with Boeing Commercial Airplane in the Mechanical Systems Test Laboratory in Seattle. The USPO granted a third patent to Englund and his Boeing colleague, John Finigan, for the invention of a compliant coupling force control system, a specialized spring that allows precise application of forces in the testing of airplane parts.
The owner of all these patents is The Boeing Company, but Englund has the satisfaction of being one of the inventors. Working with colleagues throughout the Boeing enterprise, Englund is thrilled with the challenges and opportunities for innovation in the field of aircraft testing, provided by The Boeing Company.
Englund is professional engineer with a degree from the University of Washington in mechanical engineering. He is a hands-on engineer, who has had a love of technology since he was a young boy. He obtained his Amateur Radio General Class license at the age of 11 and his First Class Commercial Radio and Telephone License at sixteen. Continuing his early interest in electronics, Englund purchased a personal computer when they first became available and learned to program in numerous programming languages: DOS, C, C++ and C#. All of these skills make him a multi-disciplinary expert in the field of airplane testing.
Englund has deep roots in the Scandinavian community of Ballard. His father's parents emigrated from the Swedish speaking area of Finland in the early 1900's and settled in Everett. Although Norm grew up in the Tri-Cities and first worked as an engineer at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, he moved to Ballard by the early 1970's and purchased a house in the Sunset Hill neighborhood where he still lives.
Englund has always been inventive and forward thinking. At Hanford he developed a remotely controlled mechanism for retrieving hazardous waste. At Marco he developed an oil water separator. At Advanced Machine he provided custom solutions to unusual engineering problems, mainly for the maritime industry.
As an inventor and artist, Englund is a 21st century Renaissance man. It will be interesting to see what he does next.

I guess Norman is one of those people with unique mix of engineering skills with the ability to learn whatever they so desired. I admire people like him. Is it true that most of the intelligent and intuitive people in Seattle live in Ballard?
I would like to join Norman's band, but I hope he does not utilize the principles of physics when playing :)...I suck in physics.
That's pretty
That's pretty interesting.
Reading this sounds like Norman is an all round engineer spanning the different branches - electrical, mechanical, computer, aviation, marine, .....
We probably have to watch out for his music composition next :)
From Boeing
It was a pleasure to know Norm from Boeing, a quiet and humble person. We are very proud of him when he received his third patent. From this article, it was great to know that he is also talented in music.

Hawaii's Scenic Byways
Hawaii Island is youngest of the Hawaiian Islands, and also the largest, boasting more miles and climate zones than anywhere else in Hawaii. Strong and majestic, it offers an equally bold driving experience, from roadside stories that speak of a remarkable native culture to the infinite colors of nature's paintbrush.
Mamalahoa Kona Heritage Corridor, Hawaii Island
Named after Kamehameha the Great's "Law of the Splintered Paddle," this ancient footpath granted runners safe passage for hundreds of years. Today, the 10-mile Mamalahoa (paddle) Kona Heritage Corridor is infused with stories of old and new Hawaii, interwoven with the immigrant influences of Europe, Asia and the Americas that shaped the Kona of today. Although this byway is a mere two-lanes wide, its pleasures are abundant, including historic architecture, shrines, coffee farms, art galleries and quaint Holualoa Village.
This scenic byway winds its way along the slopes of Hualalai Mountain and offers scenic vistas of Kailua-Kona and the Pacific Ocean as it travels through nearly 10 miles of Route 180, Old Mamalahoa Highway between Palani Junction and the intersection of State Route 11 (Kuakini Highway).
Mamalahoa Kona Heritage Corridor is sponsored by Pulama ia Kona Heritage Preservation Council whose mission is to preserve, protect and enhance the special qualities of Kona. For maps and information, visit Hawaii Scenic Byways at www.hawaiiscenicbyways.org.
Royal Footsteps Along the Kona Coast, Hawaii Island
The Royal Footsteps Along the Kona Coast Byway is a seven-mile stretch of Alii Drive that tells the story of 700 years of Hawaii's Alii or ruling class. This byway is rich in history, leading you past four of Kona's seven "Royal Centers," treasured locations chosen for their abundance of natural resources and recreational value, and reserved exclusively for use by Hawaii's kings and queens. Among them are Hulihee Palace, one of three palaces in the United States; the royal surfing grounds of Kahaluu; Hawaii's oldest Christian church; and several heiau, sites of sacred Hawaiian temples.
The Royal Footsteps Along the Kona Coast Byway travels along Alii Drive on the Kona Coast from Historic Kailua Village through Keauhou, making it a pleasant trip by car, bike or on foot.
This byway is sponsored by Kailua Village Business Improvement District. For maps and information, visit Hawaii Scenic Byways a twww.hawaiiscenicbyways.org.
Kau Scenic Byway - The Slopes of Mauna Loa, Hawaii Island
The 54-mile Kau Scenic Byway unveils a story of extraordinary natural wonders, taking you through the southernmost point of the United States and offering the longest stretches of unspoiled, spectacular natural scenery to be found in the inhabited Hawaiian Islands. Exceptional and unique experiences make this byway one of Hawaii's most remarkable, featuring striking views from Honuapo Overlook, napping sea turtles at Punaluu Black Sand Beach, the 1000-year-old cave system of Kula Kai Caverns, and sweeping vistas of majestic lava fields as they unfold into the deep blue Pacific Ocean.
The Kau Scenic Byway travels along Highway 11 (also known as the Hawaii Belt Road) around the base of Mauna Loa, connecting the Historic Kona Town to two points of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park: the Kahuku section (that offers sweeping views of the ocean and mountain) and the main entrance to the park.
The Kau Scenic Byway is sponsored by the Kau Chamber of Commerce. For maps and information, visit Hawaii Scenic Byways at www.hawaiiscenicbyways.org.

Return to Member Galleries
I am originally from Massachusetts where I attended studies in art
education, drawing classes and workshops instructed by area professional
artists and at the local college. At that time, I was working mainly in
charcoal, oils, acrylic, inks and pastels.
I moved to Dunedin
Florida in 1992, and attended classes in watercolor instruction at the
Dunedin Art Center with various professional artists and have attended
numerous workshops to continually develop my skills.
While I
love watercolor and its many possibilities, I will include acrylic,
inks, gouache, pastels, pencil and charcoal and collage materials in my
paintings to achieve the desired affect.
The surfaces for my
choice of mediums varies from watercolor paper, canvas, illustration
board, Thai Papers, Papyrus, wood, Plexiglas and just about anything
that will accept paint.
Recently I moved to and back from
Massachusetts and Maine. While in Maine, I learned the creative process
of Nuno Felting and Wet Felting – new love found!
Artist's Statement:
When I think of 'how did I get myself into this art world?
I always
come back to – I simply love to paint!
There is no rhyme or
reason as to why I love to paint - only that I do.
It didn't
start this way for me at all with being married and busily raising three
children and working to make ends meet.
But, I was always taking
a creative class of some sort and at one of those classes - which was
for custom floral design – the instructor whispered in my ear "have you
ever thought of painting?"…… the seed was planted!
The beginning
of my passion - with the thought put into my head that led to my loving
what I do each day since – creating art in whatever medium and surface I
feel and in the style of the moment of what I am seeing and feeling.
So, after many years of classes and workshops and hours with a brush
in hand, here I am – sharing my work with people who love art – and that
only happened because an artist friend suggested I should exhibit my art
Never did I think I would be showing my work to so many
people nor enjoy so immensely the sharing of dreams, hopes and desires
and processes with so many.
I am truly the recipient of the
fruits of the labor of love.
Associate Degree in Business Management, Bristol County Community
College, Mass
Intensive Weekend Painting Workshops with private
artists in Massachusetts and in Florida.

Kenyan Deputy President William Ruto has pleaded not guilty to charges of crimes against humanity. His trial in the International Criminal Court began on Tuesday, with his lawyer calling for the case to be thrown out. .
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta is also due to face trial on similar charges in November, but is unlikely to appear beside Ruto in The Hague after claiming the East African country could not do without both leaders at the same time.
The unrest left around 1,100 dead and more than 600,000 displaced. The court's chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said Ruto engaged in crimes against humanity "to satisfy his thirst for political power."
"It is difficult to imagine the suffering or terror experienced by the men, women and children who were burnt alive, hacked to death or chased from their homes," Bensouda added.
"He [Ruto] gathered together an army of … youths to go to war for him in the event the election was lost," Bensouda said.
"When the election was lost, he gave the order to attack."
Defense slams prosecution
But the ICC's claims have been rubbished by Ruto's lawyer Karim Khan, who labeled the charges "patently false."
"If the most basic investigations had taken place, the prosecutors would not have got us into this mess."
Ruto faced trial voluntarily after arriving from Nairobi on Monday. He was met at court by some 30 Kenyan MPs and other supporters, and his presence makes him the most senior serving politician to appear before the ICC.
The trial has caused controversy in Africa, with the Kenyan government passing a motion last week to withdraw its cooperation with the ICC. Supported by neighbors Uganda, the stance is part of an increasing sentiment on the continent that the ICC has a bias against African nations.
All 18 individuals indicted by the ICC since its establishment in 2002 hail from African countries.

Hard work is now paying off for the University of Regina Cougars Cheerleading team.
After finishing in first place in the Small Co-Ed Division at the Canadian National University Cheerleading Championships in early December, the team has now been invited to Orlando, Florida to compete in the International Cheer Union World University Cheerleading Championship.
The 27-member team is the only one from Canada that will compete at the world championship.
"It's amazing to have the University of Regina to be involved in such a high caliber competition, one that brings a great attention," said Head Coach Thomas Rath. "To represent Canada from a smaller community is pretty amazing and I think we're all very elated and honoured to do something like that for our province, our school and our country."
Rath notes that competition will be very stiff, with teams from across the globe including ones from the United States, Asia and Australia.
"I know we'll stack up fairly well, but I think our goal out of this is to grow as a program," he said.
Rath says cheerleading has really grown in Regina in the last number of years, and adds the sport has transitioned towards more of the stunt-aspect.
The team will be practicing hard between now and when they head down to Orlando on January 17. The competition runs January 18-20.

Do you know how much God loves you?
God proved His love for us through His Son, Jesus, who died for our sins. But, for some reason, it's hard to carry on a conversation with Him. We can be so distant.
I bet God really gets a kick out of how some of us talk to Him. We can be so serious and formal. "Oh, Lord Most Higheth! Howeth my heart doth longest for Thee!"
We need to get comfortable with God. I don't mean disrespectful, but we should know that He loves us and that we don't have to be afraid of Him.
First Corinthians 8:6 says that God created us to live for Him He's given us the gift of life and He wants us to enjoy it!
You can have a joyful, fulfilling life by living in close, personal relationship with God. But in order to get there, you have to spend time with Him. God doesn't want to just be the button we push when we have an emergency.
Whether we know it or not, without God, we are always in an emergency. Without Him operating in our lives, helping and protecting us, there isn't one of us who knows one iota about anything we're doing!
You and I can spend as much time as we want with God. We have an open invitation to invite the Creator of the universe into our life each day. We get to speak to Him personally and read the book of instruction that holds the answers to everything in life.
The devil doesn't like that. That's why he works so hard to tell us that God doesn't want to be around us if we're not perfect. I've got a news flash: We aren't ever going to be perfect. That's why Jesus went to the cross for us!
We can go to our heavenly Father as often as we like and He will never get tired of us coming. The Bible says we can come boldly before God fellowship with Him, and have our needs met.
James 4:8 says, Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. God the Father longs to fellowship with you. The moment you accepted Christ into your heart, God made His home in you. So kick up your feet, get cozy and enjoy the company.

The Samsung Galaxy Camera is the most advanced Android camera we've ever seen. It offers a huge optical zoom, 16MP sensor and all the goodies of Android. But does it marry the best bits of Android and a proper camera, or is it a camera that no-one should really buy?
To see if its camera is really all that much better than a standard top-end smartphone, we took the Samsung Galaxy Camera and Samsung Galaxy S3 out for a photographic spin to see how their pictures compare.
Samsung Galaxy Camera - 16.3MP, Xenon flash, 1/2.3" sensor, f/2.8-5.9 aperture, 23-482mm focal length
Samsung Galaxy S3 - 8MP, LED flash, 1/3.2" sensor, f/2.6 aperture,16mm equivlent focal length
In specs terms, the Samsung Galaxy Camera and Galaxy S3 have very little in common. One has an LED flash, the other a "proper" Xenon. The Galaxy Camera's sensor also offers twice the resolution of the S3's 8-megapixel model, and the sensor itself is significantly larger.
However, we shouldn't forget that the Samsung Galaxy Camera's sensor is still firmly in compact camera territory. Compact system cameras like the Sony NEX-5n and Olympus E-PL3 offer much, much larger sensors still.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 offers the same sensor size as most top-end cameras, the only real abberation in this field being the Nokia Lumia 920 with its 1/3" chip, or the much larger 1/1.2" chip of the virtually stillborn Nokia 808 Pureview.
Basic Picture Comparison
Samsung Galaxy S3 - London skyline
Samsung Galaxy Camera - London skyline
The first thing you may notice about these two basic shots is how differently they frame this scene. The Galaxy Camera appears much more "zoomed in" because the wider focal length of the Galaxy S3 gives the phone a much wider field of view.
When the Samsung Galaxy Camera offers an otherwise versatile zoom lens, you might be surprised to find that the Galaxy S3 can produce shots the Galaxy Camera simply can't.
Both shots are well-exposed, but the Samsung Galaxy Camera offers a slightly warmer tone that brings out the complexity of colour in the sky, and the highlights of buildings more successfully.
Detail Comparison
Zooming further into the above shots, the difference between the two cameras becomes much more obvious. The Galaxy Camera is able to resolve a much greater level of detail. This is in part down to the different focal length, the higher-resolution of the Samsung Galaxy Camera's sensor and its much larger sensor size.
This crop also emphasises the poorer colour reproduction of the Galaxy S3. Its rendition of these buildings is far cooler, without the auburn colouring of the Galaxy Cameras.
Digital Zoom vs Optical Zoom
Samsung Galaxy Camera - 21x optical zoom, 23-482mm focal length
Samsung Galaxy S3 - 4x digital zoom, 16mm focal length
Here's a shot of the Shard taken with the Samsung Galaxy Camera, at 5x optical zoom - far from the extreme end of the camera's capabilities. This crop shows that some noise has been introduced, and there is some chromatic abberation around the fine detailing of the top of the structure.
The Samsung Galaxy S3's digital zoom fares much, much worse. In the non-zoomed part of the shot, noise in the well-lit sky is clearly visible - and this is "only" at 4x zoom.
Looking at the fine detail crop, you can easily see why we'd never recommend relying on a digital zoom. The top of the Shard has been reduced to an indistinct smudge.

text: Posted May 21, 2009 Can you really go to Hell for making phony phone calls? I only ask the question because I was listening to The Howard Stern Show and these religious nuts were saying that the people making the prank phone calls would be in Hell. This was after Howard's staff made a bunch of phone calls to a Christian tradeio program. So let me get this straight, if you make phony phone calls you'll be in Hell with Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
