A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by my friend and fellow photographer Aska Koziara. She told me she would love having me taking her girl's pictures, but since we live across the country from each other she asked me if I was up to do a collaboration, meaning that we or the girls would come up with a concept, we would plan the shoot, and then I would put everything together in Photoshop.
I immediately said yes. I've had a few people before asking me to edit their kid's pictures but what was different this time is that Aska is a Photographer, has a really good knowledge of her gear and lighting techniques and she's a sweetheart. We meet last July while we were attending Photoshop World Conference in las Vegas.
When I work on children's portraits I want the picture to be about them. So, I asked Aska if it was possible to gather some information from her girls and if they could sketch something for me it would be even better!
One of Aska's girls is all about reading and she wanted her picture to be about books. She even made me a cute sketch of what she wanted.
So, with her sketch in mind, we started planning the shoot. Aska and I talked about lenses, angles, lighting and then she went ahead and took Zofia's picture and sent it to me.
(Photo by Aska)
That meant it was time to play! you have no idea how excited I get when I start working on a picture!
That meant it was time to play! you have no idea how excited I get when I start working on a picture!
So I turned my lights on, camera in hand, grabbed a couple of books and click!
I searched my Lightroom library for something I could use as a background and found a simple picture of my old empty dining room.
Then, it was time for one of my favorite things to do…. Loose myself in Photoshop, that place where I don't feel, where I don't think about anything else but whatever I'm creating, it's my happy place! After some magical time, I was able to put everything together and make it look as close as I could to Zofia's sketch.
I was glad to hear Zofia liked her picture! Tomorrow I'll be posting the other picture I did for Aska's younger daughter and their super cute puppy.

We ran the following tests all at a resolution of 1024x768x32 with neither FSAA nor AF enabled. The idea was to limit the impact of fill rate and try and show whatever difference AGP 8X delivered versus AGP 4X. We even tried dialing the test resolution down to 640×480 to see what effect AGP 8X would have on 3D performance. But, since gamers no longer use this low resolution, any benefit would be academic.
We used the following benchmarks and applications:
- 3DMark 2001SE
- Jedi Knight II (OpenGL): Has geometrically-intensive scenes that send a large volume of vertex data down to the GPU. Although this game is often CPU-bound, having a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 minimizes this effect as much as possible.
- Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo (Direct3D): We intentionally used the demo version of UT 2003 because it has a reduced texture set size to keep download file sizes more manageable. The full version of UT 2003 imposes more of a fill rate hit, owing to its larger, more detailed textures.
- Dungeon Siege (Direct3D): This game constantly streams world data over AGP to the GPU rather than using the traditional game design approach of loading discrete levels. The result is an increase in AGP traffic that should put the AGP port under load, provided there isn't an excessive fill-rate load being put on the GPU.
- Comanche 4 (Direct3D): A DirectX 8 game that uses pixel shaders for its water reflection/refraction effects, this game also has relatively large amounts of polygons in its scenes.
- We then dialed the test resolution up to 1280×1024, the standard workstation test resolution and ran ViewPerf 7, a suite of six viewsets that model 3D Studio MAX, Lightscape, Data Explorer, Pro/E, Unigraphics and DesignReview. These viewsets have very large polygon counts, and load up the AGP port with vertex data.

Ariana shared a pic awhile back on Instagram of her being carried, so it was only a matter of time before this rumor would grow wings and fly.
You may recall earlier this year, there was a report that Ariana had an assistant who gave her water through a straw whenever she wanted it? Now a source tells Life & Style that "Her new rule is that she has to be carried - literally carried like a baby - when she doesn't feel like walking. She says that she doesn't want her precious feet to hit the floor."
True enough, behind-the-scenes footage of Ariana's "Love Me Harder" music video did show her being carried (but honestly, she had to be placed specifically for one shot). The source noted that Ari was carried at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show rehearsals as well, dishing, "Everyone was stunned. Ariana is such a diva."
GossipCop reports that a rep for Ariana calls this claim "false."

The U.S. stopped the RV. The IMF needs 85% votes to move anything forward and the U.S. holds 17%. Subtract 17% from 100% and nothing can be done unless the U.S. agrees. They are playing hard ball to maintain the majority voting rights and then keep the USD as the Euro dollar for purchasing oil.
The Chinese were furious when told last night, but the IMF refused to allow anything to move until the impasse was solved. The IMF picked up and walked out of the meeting. They admitted that they cannot control the vote.
Once the RV is posted, the currencies go asset backed and Brazil, India, China and Russia would assume equal shares and the U.S loses control.

Jester's Place:
[silver3] It seems logical to me for the GCR to go first, the banks do their expected close downs, and then an RV after everything is stablized. But I am still learning. It seems that the bad guys would still have a foothold with all of the rv $ floating out there if it goes before the GCR
[Vigilance] silver3 that sounds logical to me too. It will be interesting to see how everything transpires.
[alfonse] silver3 I think that the GCR is to help fund the RV
[Vigilance] silver3 I have spent many years in finance, but this is such a unique event, not anything I've dealt with before. What an education we are getting!
[alfonse] silver3 But, "I know nothing" Sgt. Schultz :)
[silver3] Is there really and truly an anticipated large scale public panic when the banks close for a bit? If so, why aren't the PTB publicizing something to prepare folks so they won't go crazy?
[Betsy Ross] silver3 Because they don't want anyone to know anything
[txsunshine1960] because so many ppl will run to the banks to pull out their money
[Betsy Ross] silver3 they want us to be dumb
[txsunshine1960] cause widespread panic
[angelheart] silver3 rush on the banks
[Betsy Ross] txsunshine1960 That too
[alfonse] silver3 Some I think desire unrest so they can exert further control
[silver3] Shame on them. They could sugar coat the whole thing and most folks would believe them. It seems that even a small white lie about why the banks are closing would prevent mass chaos, and a rush on the banks
[Vigilance] txsunshine1960 silver3 let's all stay positive and pray for a seamless transition.
[alfonse] silver3 Control is the ultimate outcome they desire
Just once I wish someone was right about timing. When someone says it is close ... what does that mean? It was close on Dec. 01 ... for sure by Jan.01 yet here we are coming up to March 01, 2014. IT will be close the day before the GCR happens and has been proven so far NO ONE knows when that is!

I have been on the edge of my seat for a while now. But am getting tired. I bought into the dinar because everybody wants to have a better life. I keep strong for my family. My brother just got arrested in Texas (again) and he is homeless. He is not a bad guy. He just cannot get right because all he knows is that kind of life. He stole copper of phone poles just so he can eat. I'm sick of this. Please pray for this rv. I have the chance to save him from a lifetime of lockup if this comes true for us. This is his 5th felony here in Texas. He is so lucky that he gets out in oct, or dec. please let this come thru, not just for me but for all of us. I thank all of you gurus for your intel. Please keep it up.
2/24/2014 05:11:44 pm
Having someone like you in his life is awesome. Thank you on his behalf. I hope with 20/20 hindsight you'll be able to look back on all of this and smile. You're not alone...hang in there bro.

Not sure how many on here are old enough to remember the 60's, but the US Treasury Department requested all citizens to turn in all of their "silver certificate" paper monies as the United States Treasury was shifting all their paper money to FRN's. The funny thing was that all the people did it and there was no problem. Except for the smart ones who know these silver certificates would be more valuable in the future.
2/25/2014 05:43:12 am
IMF is pushing for this. Hard. Maliki is and has been the problem. Very Simple. No Conspiracy. Just a little half ass dictator that wants to hold rv to near elections......the rest is all bs by people who don't have real contacts......blind leading the blind.

AC Milan defender Alessandro Nesta will be out for at least a month after picking up a thigh injury in Wednesday's Champions League loss to Barcelona.
Nesta was forced off in the 66th minute in the 3-2 loss.
Milan says on its website that "Nesta underwent medical tests today which revealed he has pulled a muscle. If there are no complications he will be out for around a month."
Nesta is the fourth Milan player to pick up a serious injury this season. Mathieu Flamini is out until February, while Antonio Cassano is likely to miss the rest of the campaign.
Gennaro Gattuso is back in training but unlikely to play until the new year.
Milan is in third place in Serie A, a point behind Lazio and Juventus.

In some areas there are signs, signals and roadway markings to help you to cross the road safely.
When you cross the street at a corner with a signal light, you should wait for the green light to show in the direction you are walking.
At busy intersections there may be lines on the road called a crosswalk for you to walk between. There may also be special signals to tell you it is okay to cross the street. There is a green light with a picture of a person walking.
Always look both ways before you cross the street, by looking left, right and left again to make sure no cars are coming or turning into the crosswalk.Yellow lights and signs mean caution or that you are coming to a dangerous area. If you are waiting to cross the street, you should not cross if the light is yellow. The light is about to turn red, and cars will enter the intersection.
A yellow traffic light means to use caution
This sign means that you are coming to a crosswalk
This sign means you are near a crosswalk by a school
When the signal light turns red, stop. If the light is red in the direction you are walking, do not cross the street.
When you see a red light with picture of a man, stop. Wait to cross the street until you see a green signal. Then look carefully to left, right and left again. If there is no traffic coming, cross the street.
If you must cross the street, you should cross at an intersection if there is one. Stop at the side of the road, and look carefully to the left, right and left again. If there is no traffic coming, walk across the road. Don't run, you are more likely to fall.

Adobe Photoshop is the most popular photo editor software and mostly used by people who want to edit and improved their photo's quality. However, Adobe Photoshop has a very expensive price. Each license of Adobe Photoshop CS5 Full has been priced at $699! Although that price was very reasonable due to its powerful features, there is always an alternative way to edit and improve your photos without make your wallet "sick". Today, I'm going to show you two online photo editors that could be the best Adobe Photoshop alternatives.
1. Sumo Paint
Sumo Paint is my favorite online photo editor. This online photo editor is free to use and has a rich photo-editing feature. Sumo Paint features are slightly similar with Photoshop features. The filter menu comes with 3D effects, blur, distort, edge detection, light effects, noise, pixelate, sharpen, stylize, texture and other filters. There are also layer effect features and image improvement features such as brightness / contrast, color balance, color temperature, curves, gradient map, hue / saturation, levels, etc. Sumo Paint also provides a lot of basic tools, including magic wand tool, brush tool, clone stamp tool, etc. Simply go to Sumo Pain app page, and you can edit your photos for completely free!
Sumo Paint allows registered users to save their images with layer data at Sumo Account. Users have an ability to create, share, remix, and collaborate their artwork with others. Every image and layer data that saved at Sumo account are always be private. Click here to register at Sumo Paint for free.
People who want to install Sumo Paint on their computer can purchase Sumo Paint Pro for €19. The pro version allows users to edit their photos without an internet connection.
2. Pixlr Editor
Pixlr also a free but powerful online photo editor. Similar with Sumo Paint, Pixlr is free to use. Compared with Sumo Paint, Pixlr provides fewer features to users. Users can optimize their photos using Pixlr adjustment features like brightness / contrast, hue and saturation, color balance, levels, curves, exposures, etc. There are also filtering features, including blur, sharp, pixelate, noise, etc.
Besides Pixlr Editor, there is also Pixlr Express which could help users to improve their photos instantly. Users can select a photo, then optimize it with red eye removal, teeth whitening, auto level, denoise, and other instant features. Click here to edit your photos using Pixlr Editor for Free.
Sumo Paint and Pixlr Editor are two alternatives and cheaper way to edit your photos. Although they can't fully replace Adobe Photoshop, they are very useful to edit photos without spending $699. If you have other Photoshop alternatives, please share it with us. :)

Modern Problems
by John Tsitrian
As we often sang back in the day, we gotta get outta this place. And get outta there we did. The ride south to Hue followed Route 1.
As expected, it turned out to be a set-piece demonstration of the problems that Vietnam will encounter in its drive to the modernization of its rural regions. Though in generally good repair, the two-lane road was clogged with traffic, creating huge bottlenecks in this, the narrowest region of Vietnam, where the distance between the coast of the South China Sea and the Laotian border is 35 miles.

Moving freight and people from the population hubs of Saigon, Da Nang, and Hue in the south of the country to the big metropolises of Hanoi and Haiphong to the north has got to be a daunting challenge, especially considering that theres only one rail line adjacent to Route 1. With the free flow of people, goods and services so severely hampered, even a relatively small country like Vietnam is forced into essentially local economic zones without the natural growth that comes from the easy transfer of products and people from one region to another.
For tourists, of course, the upside of a slow-going trip like this is the chance to see day-to-day life in the hamlets along the way, which in Vietnam means seeing hordes of people at outdoor markets, military installations at virtually every ville, farmers tending their rice paddies -- sometimes using human power to pull plows whenever the otherwise ubiquitous water buffaloes arent present. The shops are plentiful; the shopkeepers, aggressive.
Our small group ignited a near riot on a hillside road when a group of merchants spotted one of our party buying something, causing a convergence of vendors who were literally smacking us on the arms with merchandise, grabbing at us, tapping us about the arms and shoulders and generally chattering and offering deals on trinkets, postcards, clothing, you name it. We scrambled back into our van and scooted.
At another stop, when I made it clear to a lady that I wasnt interested in buying anything she coyly offered me a foot massage, which I later learned was local code for services of a more intimate nature. My favorite of these stops was at a live pig market, where farmers brought 35-40 pound piglets in to sell to local families, who would buy the pigs for about 50 cents a pound then take them home to fatten, feeding them rice, mantioc and bananas -- which I found encouraging, considering that during the war all I ever saw the local pigs eat was garbage.
The pigs themselves -- as they did all over Vietnam -- looked like garden-variety pink animals, not those exotic Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs you see in places around the United States, which made me wonder if shrewd marketers arent taking advantage of American pig fanciers. Besides pigs, the hamlets are rife with chickens, running around all over the place -- a feature thats also common in the larger cities.
In fact, it was the absence of chickens that got the attention of my traveling companion Col. Meadows, who in 1968 was the commander of a Marine infantry company near Hue. The Tet Offensive, a huge drive by the North Vietnamese to infiltrate and occupy American and South Vietnamese cities and installations in February of that year, was underway. His G Company of the Fifth Marines was ordered to truck into Hue in response to reports of a local disturbance. Meadows and his men had no idea what to expect, but he tells me that as soon as they crossed a bridge into the city he noticed that the streets were empty of people and -- more tellingly -- of chickens.
Then-Capt. Meadows (in foreground) at "Meadows Corner," Hue, 1968. Two of his men lie dead in the background, where Tsitrian would stand four decades later. Photos courtesy Chuck Meadows
He realized that something serious was developing. Moments later, his company was shot out of our trucks by a vicious fusillade of automatic weapons fire. The storied recapture of Hue by the United States Marines had begun. G Company was ordered to advance to the citys ancient Citadel, moving house by house, street by street -- eventually getting as far as what is now known in Marine Corps circles as Meadows Corner, where his company, having lost about a third of its men, was stymied, just blocks away from one of the main entrances to the Citadel. G Company, along with other units of the 5th Marine and other regiments, fought in the streets of Hue for another month before finally routing the enemy.
According to Meadows, the experiences and notations of the fight for Hue have been encoded into Marine Corps fighting manuals and were recently put to use by the Marines who took Fallujah in Iraq.
The beauty of Hue
As to the city of Hue itself, its beauty and historic value remain undiminished, with the Citadel, the site of the Imperial Capital in ancient times, undergoing a thorough and much-needed restoration, much of it funded by the United Nations.
The beauty of the city and its riverfront -- the Perfume is the name of the river -- have turned it into something of a Mecca for international tourists, with many a war-ravaged block now undergoing a complete transformation into a gorgeous and pricey high-rise hotel or business complex. That ancient streets and long-standing buildings and businesses are adjacent to the new developments only makes the city more inviting -- and the tourists are responding.
Same goes for points farther south, mainly Da Nang, where the wars imprint was huge, considering the size and reach of the U.S. military installations there. The waterfront districts of Da Nang are crowded with high-rise 4- and 5-star hotels, lovely promenades, exotic restaurants, fancy shops, local markets, beautiful beaches -- all the amenities of a world-class resort, which the city has become. I met tourists from numerous European countries and Australia, all of them marveling about the beauty and the value.
I have no doubt that when Air Vietnam begins its non-stop service to California in 2010 that Americans will join the parade. The place is certainly a bargain by comparison to European locales, with a lovely 4-star room available for less than $100, in some cases much less. That comes with a knockout breakfast containing all the traditional American breakfast fare and the wonderful Vietnamese dishes youd expect, like pho soup (vegetables, rice noodles, broth, some meat) several varieties of fried rice, steamed vegetables, raw tropical fruit, sweet rolls, outstanding coffee -- good and strong, no bitter aftertaste, I mean, delicious -- tea, juices, in short, enough to carry you through most of the day.
Meals in local restaurants are generally between $5-$10, with drinks like beer, water and soda pop running about a buck. Harder liquor will set you back anywhere from $2-$5 a shot.
I tried the locally produced libations and found them too different to suit my tastes. Vietnamese vodka made from rice is sweet, almost more like rice wine. Vietnamese rum -- probably produced from the plentiful sugar cane grown throughout the region -- is tasty but watery. The red wine bottled in Da Lat is thin.
The beer, however, is outstanding. Apparently some joint ventures with European breweries (Carlsberg from Denmark is a partner of Halida Beer in Hanoi) have brought old country techniques into the industry and have created a very palatable array of Vietnamese brands.
As to the values in the local markets, they seem pretty good to me. As you can imagine, theres plenty of silk merchandise for sale, with custom-tailored mens shirts readily available for less than $10.
A silk nightie and robe set runs about $10, cashmere and silk scarves are less than $5. Ceramic items like ashtrays and statuettes are generally $5 or less.
Onyx items are plentiful and cheap. An apple thats the size of, well, an apple, will run $10 or less. Theres plenty of marble at the aptly named Marble Mountain in Da Nang, with beautifully sculpted statues running at less than $1000, including shipping back to the States.
Overall, Vietnam seems like a very affordable place. An Australian gent I met in Hue told me that coming to Vietnam is a much better deal for Australians than going to Bali - and certainly far less risky considering the political tenor of Muslim Indonesia.
There isnt much in the way of religious or political extremism in Vietnam, where Buddhism and its live and let live philosophy is the prevailing faith and the restraints of a one-party political system have managed to keep anti-social behavior in check. People seem focused on their personal affairs and aspirations and, if not effusively friendly, are social enough.
There certainly seems to be no lingering animosity toward Americans, although my companions whove been back to Vietnam numerous times tell me that there are still lingering traces of resentment in the south toward Americans for pulling out as abruptly as they did. Many South Vietnamese thought the American involvement and presence were open-ended enough for them to make life commitments that cost them dearly after the United States pulled out and the North Vietnamese swamped the South a few years later. Those of us old enough to remember the desperation of the boat people who escaped Vietnam after the North took over can understand that attitude.
Fear was rampant and retribution swift.
Now, three decades later, the bad taste seems to have gone away, at least in Vietnam. For the United States its a different matter, as memories and opinions about that war continue to divide us.
If theres a consensus, its probably that the war in Vietnam was the defining screw-up of my generation. I doubt that well ever get over it, but as the Vietnamese themselves seem to be anxious to reach out to us in friendship, some reciprocation may be the catalyst for better things to come. Making peace with the Vietnamese, united under the government of Hanoi, may be just another way to make peace with ourselves.
John Tsitrian is a Rapid City businessman and writer. He was accompanied on this trip by several veterans of the war in Vietnam and Rapid Citian Paul Jensen, who provided the photos taken during the trip.

#Screenbrave – Colon Cancer Awareness Month
The Philippine Society of Gastroenterology declared colorectal cancer to be the number one gastrointestinal cancer in the Philippines, and March is National Colon Cancer Awareness month. Be informed and get the facts below!
Colorectal cancer is a type of cancer that forms in the colon or rectal area often from a very small polyp or growth along the lining of the intestines. These polyps are often slow growing, and when found early colon cancer is treatable. However, early screening is extremely important. Yearly colonoscopy screening should begin at age 50 or sooner if you have risk factors.
Who's at Risk?
- Age – Colon cancer affects both men and women usually after the age of 50, but the incidence in younger people is increasing.
- Family History – If anyone in your close family has a history of colon cancer and/or polyps or you have a history of inflammatory bowel disease, you should take to your doctor about being screened earlier than age 50.
- Weight – Being overweight increases your risk of developing colon cancer and it seems to be more significant in men. Increasing your physical activity could lessen your risk of developing colon cancer. Some studies show that daily physical activity can cut your risk as much as 50 percent.
- Diet – A diet low in fruits and vegetables (fiber) along with alcohol consumption and high amounts of red meat can increase your risk. Cigarette smoking also shows an increased risk.
Be proactive and talk to your doctor if you see any of these early warning signs:
A change in bowel habits – a change in the consistency or frequency of your stools
Blood in your stool either bright red or especially if it makes the stool look dark
Weakness or fatigue as well as unexplained weight loss
Persistent belly pain – feeling full or bloated as well as gas and cramping that doesn't seem to be relieved with a bowel movement
Get screened
If diagnosed early, colon cancer is a treatable disease. It's always best to work hard on preventions. Remember, these symptoms often are not accompanied by pain, which is why colon cancer is deemed the "silent killer". Screening is the #1 way to prevent colon cancer so #screenbrave.

Computer programmers write and test code that allows computer applications to function properly. They turn the psuedocode program designs created by business managers and engineers into executable code. Software developers often start out with a bachelor's degree in computer science or software engineering, followed an intensive on-the-job learning curve. Computer science (CS) degree programs cover data structures, artificial intelligence (AI), computer graphics, object-oriented programming, and algorithm design. Moreover, most software developers specialize in multiple programming languages, such as php, ASP, C++, Python, JAVA, and SWIFT.
The median annual wage for computer programmers was $90,530 in May 2017, and employment prospects for software developers is projected to grow 17 percent each decade, much faster than average. Software developers also need skills related to the industry in which they work. Developers working in a bank, for example, should have knowledge of finance so that they can understand a bank's computing needs. In fact, many CS students gain experience in software development by completing an internship at a software company while still in college. Beyond degree requirements such as Frostburg State University computer science programs, you may consider Alabama Southern Community College class notes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Yahoo! has today rolled out a new version of its Mail service. The new Yahoo! Mail Beta brings a number of interesting new features to the plate and boasts a redesigned interface that looks like what would happen if Gmail and Outlook mated.
The polished new interface design includes the ability to view Twitter and Facebook updates via Yahoo! Mail's What's New page, open multiple IM and SMS chats in separate tabs, search your mail from a panel on the sidebar, and to preview mail in a separate window without leaving your inbox. Another nice addition to the new Yahoo! Mail is the ability to enjoy Picasa and Flickr slideshows and watch YouTube videos from within the email.
Under the hood, Yahoo! claims to have made its mail client twice as fast as the previous version. The spam filter has also undergone a much-needed overhaul, although we'll wait and see if this goes far enough to come anywhere near the standard of Gmail's excellent spam filtering system.

Time Efficiencies Save Time for Fun!
NOTE: Today's blog is written by Lillian Brummet – as it applies to the job hunt and interviewing process as well as business development. In any endeavor we can always find creative ways to be time efficent.
Time management is a real biggie for me. There is always so much to do. There is always a new banner ad to design, another radio show needs a promo ad, there's guests to book on the radio show and outlines for their interviews to create… emails popping in every few minutes with a request to provide articles, an interview or networking opportunity. Keeping records of all of this and making sure that everyone has been followed up on, while finding new contacts, new opportunities – this can eat up a lot of time.
Recordkeeping is the best thing that ever happened to me. Whenever I have queried a media contact, for instance, I'll head over to the Excel file where I'll record brief information on name of the media, the contact, the email/web address and then brief notes to myself in the Notes column – such how we connected and what was said. I use color-coding for easy referral so that I can see at a glance whether a project is completed but not yet published, and who needs a follow-up. Every 3 months or so I go through this file and eliminate all the rows that have no colors (this means that if I have not assigned a color code, there was no response to my query) because I no longer have a need to keep a record of those contacts. At the same time, I'll do any follow-ups that I can.
Research is key for efficiency in my writing process. I do tons of research, glean the best from it, add my own personal twist and then tweak it to suit the audience the project is intended for. Everything is researched… the content itself, the audience, the publication – their departments – their advertisers and their staff… and I make a note of this in the appropriate column. This way, I have a brief plan of action for each project.
It sounds complicated, but the whole thing takes just a little effort; the outline and record-keeping aspects of a writer's career can make all the difference when it comes to doing things efficiently, effectively, and at a comfortable pace.

A warm wave of weather swept across the region this weekend with temperatures extending into the low 60's. Blue skies, bright sun, and rushing water are irresistible after weeks of cold and snow. We would have liked to have gotten on the Clinch or Holston tailwaters but schedules were just hinky enough that it took more planning than we could muster.
The Smokies are literally our backyard and we can be almost anywhere in the Little River watershed within 30 minutes. Saturday we hiked up the Middle Prong from the Smoky Mountain Institute. The upper end of the road is still closed since constant process of freeze and thaw with traffic tends to accelerate wear and tear. It makes for an easy hike and the walk tends to discourage many fishermen.
Today it was up the main fork of Little River towards Elkmont. As expected the weather was much better than the fishing. There is still substantial snow on the highest ridges of the Smokies and this warm weather is sending that cold, melted snow right into the rivers and streams.
There were a few bugs around, but nothing to exactly label a hatch of any sort. We're forecast to get to some rain in a few days and that will likely wash out most of the remaining snow. Even though temperatures will be lower after this system passes I predict that the fishing will be better once the snow is gone.

Feb 16 (Reuters) - MPLX LP filed a petition with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Wednesday seeking permission to expand Ozark Pipeline, which carries crude oil from Cushing, Oklahoma to Wood River, Illinois.
MPLX expects the commission to act by May 10, and the additional capacity could be available in the second quarter of 2018.
On Monday, an MPLX subsidiary agreed to purchase Ozark pipeline, currently owned by Enbridge Inc, for about $220 million. (Reporting by Eileen Soreng in Bengaluru; Editing by Jeffrey Benkoe)

"Winter," "Spring," "Summer," and "Fall." Yes, now I've finished them all. And I would go to the ends of the Earth for more Gilmore Girls, cause darling that's what it's worth. Seriously, this revival was amazing. And not just because Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life was such a longtime coming that us fans would have been happy with anything. Oh, no, this is purely a merit-based assessment. And I give it five gold stars, a smiley face and an A+.
Now, let's talk about that ending. Anyone who doesn't want to know the final four words of the series, leave now. Go. GO. Because I'm about to lay it all out there and give you my full reaction.
Ya sure?
Final exchange:
Rory: "Mom?"
Lorelai: "Yeah?"
Rory: "I'm pregnant."
Cut to credits.
And boom goes the dynamite. My initial reaction, *screaming loudly at the TV* "NO!" Not because I'm upset with how it ended. But just the fact that it ended. After all, if I had my way it never would have ended. I would love Gilmore Girls to go on and on and on. And ya, there are some rumblings of it continuing. But it probably won't, because this was the ending that Amy Sherman-Palladino thought up way back in season 1. This is the final exchange that she had planned. And that means, "That's all, folks!"
So, ya, I'm pretty bummed that it ended on a MAJOR cliffhanger like that. I want to know who Rory's baby daddy is. Though, if you've seen the whole revival (and if you haven't, why are you reading this?) then you and I both know it's most likely Logan. Ya, it's probably, definitely Logan. And I also want to know how Lorelai will react to this news. After all, Rory will now most likely be a single mother like her. And she always wanted Rory to have more than her. To finish high school, go to a great college, get a great job, and, probably, have a baby when she was older and married.
Granted, Rory is twice the age Lorelai was when she had her. But, Rory does not have her life together AT ALL and will probably have a hard time raising her child alone, just like Lorelai did. And chances are she will want to do just that, and she will do it well. She is Lorelai's daughter after all. And that's how the show has come full circle.
Rory did get more than Lorelai did. She went to a great high school, graduated from Yale, and got to have many life experiences, relationships, and a career before getting pregnant. Lorelai gave Rory everything she ever needed to have that life. And in return Rory brought Lorelai more joy than she had ever known growing up in the world she came from. Their relationship was tumultuous at times, but ultimately one that other mothers and daughters would kill for. And you can bet that Rory will have that same relationship with her child. Even if it's a Gilmore Boy.0

Question about Gateway 4525GZ Notebook
I bought this computer that had been crashed. It would only get to the page that asked which type of startup ie: SafeMode, Prompt, Network, Normal. No matter what you chose it would restart.
I entered the recovery disk and booted with cdrom at bios.
This allowed me to get to dos. I formated and it prompted for a restart.
I did and started to try to load windows and it now intermittenly will not find the Rom drive. I tried taking it out and reinstalling in case there is a bad connection and it helps somtime then will lose it again. Im not sure if its coincidence. Could this be the Rom drive or a problem with the MB
Posted by j_l_clark on
I originally thought I was going to need to put a HD in it anyway, but after getting this far, and then running into this, I remembered having a similar problem from Ram, so i did change both sticks of ram with known good ram and no luck.
I havnt just replaced the Rom drive yet because I thought it was odd that it has worked fine with no glitches up until that point. I know everything works untill it quits but I was wondering if the HD or the MB could cause this before I replaced the rom?
I tried using a second copy of XP pro, that I had borrowed. It does the same thing. I formated again and ran fdisk and got where I needed to go. now problem is im getting the "wrong disk" error when I startup whether I have a windows disk in or not. I think my rom went out completely. thanks guys.
I got similar problem to this one. the only diff. is it was saying hdd not installed. my chum's laptop was a Toshiba just abt a year old now... she brought it to me saying it crashed and she tried to installed it herself. but it doesnt complete its installation.. a message appear and says " installation will not continue because there is no hdd installed, etc..." bios setup detects the hdd 120gig.. so what was wrong with it... 1 week the laptop stays with me and i'm trying to figure out what possible error i'm not seeing... everything i checked and doubled checked cant find any hardware problem... guess what, i just changed my XP installer bought a new one.. i run installation again with that new OS the installation proceeds normally and finished under an hour later... your problem could be the same as i encountered. IMHO, why dont you try to install another OS and observe what happens next...
Posted on Mar 08, 2009
It can be 2 things... RAM, or Hard Drive. Sometimes that happends because the HD has a bad sector... Only way to solve the problem is to change HD. You can try to test the problem with Memtest86, and MHDD... you can find this programs in Hiren's boot CD... http://www.9down.com/Hiren-s-BootCD-9-7-54477/ download it, burn a CD and try to find the problem, in memory or hard drive.
Posted on Mar 07, 2009
The fact that the CD ROM works at all means them MOBO is ok..just replace the CD ROM as they are not that expensive any longer and save yourself some headaches..good luck. Let me know if you have have questions.

We both work at a mall.
I asked her out and she said "not sure when because I work at a daycare when I am not working here at this mall."
So I left her alone for a week. She then sends her co-worker to come talk to me. Her co-worker/friend then says "Jasmine will be working on Sunday. Are you also working on that day?" I said "No, only from Tuesdays through Saturdays. She then "You guys will see each other on Thursdays. I want you for Jasmine! Keep trying!"
I told the co-worker/friend that it seems like the girl wants me to leave her alone. Her reply: "NO!!! NOT TRUE!!!"
The co-worker/friend has since continued to bring up the girl from time to time and mentioned her schedule.
A few weeks later, she quit her daycare job to take up a second job at the same mall. I asked her what happened and she responds enthusiastically and says "I MOVED!" with a huge smile on her face.
I started talking to her again since then.
Does it also mean if my love interest is also interested but the interest is not "solid"? What do you guys think?

She sounds interested at least. Keep talking with her, maybe you can grab a drink or dinner after work someday. Checking out the food court together might be a easy/casual date.00|00|0
But in general, when people say a love interest is also interested but the interest is not "solid"?, what is meant by that?

Think back to the last time you washed your hands: When it came time to wipe them dry, how many paper towels did you use?
According to Joe Smith, if it's more than one, you're doing it wrong.
Smith, a lawyer from Oregon, gave a lightning-quick TEDx talk in 2012 where he demonstrated his fool-proof method for using just one paper towel to dry your hands.
Around the world, humans use roughly 13 billion paper towels a year. If everyone managed to use one fewer paper towel per day, Smith says, we could cut our yearly paper towel consumption by 571 million pounds.
It's not that hard.
Step one: Shake your hands 12 times to get the excess water off.
"You will for the rest of your life remember those words every time you pick up a paper towel," Smith says, before hinting at the next practice he plans to conquer: "Toilet paper."
