Family Ties
The deep connection you establish with your child starts in the womb.
By Phyllis Klaus, MFT, CSW
As with pregnancy, bonding with baby develops over time. It, too, is a process that,with your care and attention, will deepen and progress with each passing day. Do you remember when you learned you were pregnant? Surely it was a deeply emotional moment. A second before, you were responsible for yourself and a second after you were forever linked to a new being growing inside you. The bond you feel with your baby isn't as instantaneous; it will grow slowly yet steadily over these months of pregnancy until the day you meet your child and begin life as a family.
"Bonding" refers to the feelings of love and empathy that parents develop for their children. During pregnancy, sometimes that love is manifested in the form of dreams and fears about your baby and future as a mother. Positive, loving dreams can help you connect with your little one, but fearful ones can diminish your confidence about your baby's health or your own capabilities. Let your health-care provider worry about your baby's health. Then give yourself space to deal with your other fears in a way that works for you. Write in a journal or draw pictures of what's going through your head. Share your concerns with your partner, as well as with your girlfriends, pregnant or not. Expressing your thoughts will help you deal with them and accept your child into your life.
Another way to begin bonding with baby is to send him loving messages. During a quiet moment, put your hands on your abdomen and send happy thoughts and energy to the baby: how excited you are to meet him, what you plan to do when he arrives, how you can't wait to have him as part of your family. Many women say this activity makes them less anxious and worried about their pregnancy.
The Power of Your Partner
Your partner is a major factor in how you feel about your baby. If your partner is excited about your pregnancy, watches over you, protects you and takes care of you, you will likely feel closer to your child. But if your partner is unhappy or hesitant, then you may have doubts and worries too.
Your partner may be nervous about being a parent, perhaps being unhappy with their own childhood parenting. That's why now is a good time to talk to your partner about how each of you grew up, both the good and the bad. Discuss what kind of relationship you had with your parents. You don't just have to start a conversation out of the blue; wait until a situation presents itself. Your friends might tell you they don't have a set bedtime for their toddler, or you may see a couple in the supermarket letting their child select a sugary cereal. Use these incidents as starting points for conversations; discuss how your parents handled such issues and what you would do with your own child. By talking about your upbringing, you can establish a unified front on how you will raise your kids and address any fears that your partner may have about being a parent.
You should also discuss your feelings about the baby, and how your life will change. When you and your partner can talk freely about the many changes that a baby will bring to your relationship, finances and lifestyle, you can continue to support each other and see the baby as enhancing your life instead of disrupting it.
If your partner feels removed from your pregnancy, try this simple exercise. Put their hand on your abdomen, and when there is movement or when you sense the baby, have your partner say, "Hello, baby." Doing this a few times a day for a week or two, will help your partner feel more connected to both of you.
Bonding with baby doesn't have to wait until she's born: It really starts the moment that you find out you are pregnant, and it continues throughout your pregnancy. Not only is it a way for you to get closer to your child, it will also help you grow closer to your partner. And becoming an even more solid couple will help prepare you for your newly bestowed title: parents.

Seriously? I thought we prided ourselves on being the best fans in the league. The fans that stand by the team no matter what. The fan base that was comprised mainly of NON-bandwagon fans. The "us against the world" fans. Where'd that go? We were atrocious in 2009. Atrocious. Old, lazy, overpaid, entitled. And now we get turned around in 2 short years, have had some seriously good drafts, have a stud of a QBOTF, we are young, talented, and still sitting in the drivers seat of a playoff spot.
But some of you are calling for heads to roll? For Pete to be canned? Throwing players under the bus? Calling them fakes and pretenders? Get. Real. Apparently a large portion of this fan base are the fakes and pretenders and only root when winning.
Go ahead, call me out for a low post count or whatever (like its been done--still don't know what that has to do with anything. I'm less qualified to post because I just signed up? I don't know, I always thought that was the most pointless of insults on sports message boards--ok now off that rant). Did today suck? Of course. But I sure as $&@t won't give up on this team now or ever.

On the Job: Good video can lead to interview
Employers increasingly are winnowing down a field of candidates with a video clip.
Would you buy a car without first seeing it or taking it for a test drive?
Probably not, and employers feel the same way about job candidates. They want to know that a job candidate is reliable, will fill their needs, and won't quit when the road gets bumpy.
But how do employers "test drive" candidates before making a job offer without being too time consuming or expensive?
BLOG: App handles virtual job interviews
MORE: Anita Bruzzese's column index
One solution has been video interviewing. Companies like HireArt weed through job applicants and send short videos of good fits to potential employers.
As part of that test drive, employers also may request candidates take on challenges to show their aptitude for a job, HireArt's co-founder Elli Sharef says.
An engineering company may pose a coding challenge to an applicant, or someone claiming social media expertise may be asked to come up with sample tweets, Sharef says.
"We really think video interviewing is going to take off because for the first time it's possible with the number of webcams and the increasing number of job applicants for each position," Sharef says. "Employers just find having such richer candidate information is helpful."
That's why chances are good that sometime in your professional career you will have to do a video interview.
To make a good impression, experts say you should:
• Be enthusiastic. Channeling energy when you're staring at a computer screen may be difficult, it's important you appear upbeat, Sharef says.
Think about why you're passionate or excited about the job, then pump yourself up to sit down and let that show through. Think about listening to your favorite music beforehand or reading inspirational quotes to get yourself in the right frame of mind.
• Dress professionally. Wearing your fraternity T-shirt or having messy hair hanging in your face won't make a good impression.
If you don't appear professional, an interviewer will be distracted and you'll convey the message you didn't care enough about the job.
Wear the same kind of clothes you would to an interview. Avoid busy patterns on clothes because they become distorted on screen. Don't wear jewelry such as bracelets that might make noise as you move.
• Check your background. Beer bottles, dirty laundry and your 12 cats shouldn't be visible.
Clean up the area as much as possible, and make sure your face is lit clearly. Lighting only from above can cast shadows on your face and make you look tired.
Any noisy children or pets need to be out of the area.
• Sit tall. You may not even realize how much you slump before a computer until you see yourself on video.
Make sure you're positioned so you're directly in front of the screen. Keep your eyes on the video camera "eye" so that it appears you're looking directly at the viewer.
Make sure you don't swivel in your chair, and avoid nervous gestures such as jiggling your leg, which can cause your whole body to move.
• Be a bit spontaneous. It's OK to practice what you want to say so you come across as articulate and confident in the video, but Sharef says one successful candidate notes he only used a couple of "takes" so he would come across as genuine.
"You don't want to be reading notes," she says.
• Do your homework. When crafting your video pitch, find ways to note that you understand the industry and the company.
For example, you may want to talk about the company's commitment to sustainability as a reason you would like to work there.
Finally, ask a friend to watch your video interview and get feedback, or practice before a mirror and record your pitch so you can work to eliminate indecisive words such as "maybe" or "kind of."
You need to sound confident and well spoken during an interview. Any flaw can get you deleted quickly from an interviewer's files.

The fifth volume of TransWorld SNOWboarding's 20 Tricks video series is a wrap. This spring we brought the project back to Colorado hitting up Winter Park's Rail Yard Terrain Park and Breckenridge's 1080 park. At Winter Park we rode with Marko Grilc, Charles Reid, Louif Paradis, Will Lavigne, Cameron Pierce, Niko Cioffi, Scotty Arnold, and Bode Merrill. The Breckenridge crew consisted of Eric Willett, Jeremy Thompson, Jack and Luke Mitrani, Tim Humphreys, Sage Kotsenburg, Forest Bailey, and Johnny Lazzarechi. Once again TWS teamed up with top pros to teach you the season's best tricks on jumps, pipe, rails—everything.
In addition to the expected terrain park scenarios, we stepped away from the resorts, and took to the streets of Salt Lake City linking up with some of the most credible street riders like Dan Brisse, Joe Sexton, Seth Huot, Simon Chamberlain, and Scott Stevens to explain how to take your tricks to the urban environment. It's a whole new game in the streets kid.
20 Tricks is the call to progress your snowboarding skills and to step your game up this winter. This how-to trick tip video will be released this fall along with a pocket-sized booklet breaking down all 20 tricks, and a free second DVD featuring the all-new TWS Park Sessions.
Now, check out these behind the scenes shots from the 2011 20 Tricks and get hyped:
You can pick up a copy of 20 Tricks Volumes 1–4 at your local snowboard shop, or download it from iTunes here.

Hi all,
how do I place the Application Icon in the Taskbar?
I place the 'App Icon' in the taskbar using the options ShowIcon and ShowInTaskbar when displaying a dialog.
So when I call a dialog the icon is nicely placed in the taskbar, but when I hide this dialog and call an new dialog.
the icon dissapears of course dialog hides and comes on again when the next dialog is visible.
So what i want is a steady icon in the taskbar as long as my app is running.
So independent of the dialogs passing by (Showing and/or hiding)

The City of Lincoln will receive the 2002 Conservationists of the Year Award from the Nebraska Wildlife Federation Board of Directors at 3 p.m. tomorrow, October 5 at the group's annual meeting. City Council Chair Jonathan Cook will accept the award on behalf of the City at the Papio-Omaha Natural Resources District (NRD) headquarters at Chalco Hills (see directions at end of release).
"We are extremely proud and honored to be recognized as one of Nebraska's leaders in protecting our environment," said Mayor Wesely. "Our community places a high priority on environmental issues and we recognize and accept the responsibility we have to future generations." Kent Morgan, an Aide to Mayor Wesely, will receive the Conservation Professional Award.
The Nebraska Wildlife Federation presents the award annually to individuals and organizations for contributions to the conservation of fish, wildlife and other natural resources in Nebraska. The City of Lincoln was nominated by the Board of Directors for its leadership and vision in identifying key environmental resources in Lincoln and Lancaster County; for putting in place a new Comprehensive Plan that will help protect natural resources; and for pursuing funding and other measures for the long-term protection of wetlands, native prairies and streams.
"This is the first time the award has been presented to a city," said Duane Hovorka, Nebraska Wildlife Federation Executive Director. "The City of Lincoln has taken the lead in efforts to protect its natural resources and has provided an example for other Nebraska communities in preserving the wildlife and wild places so important to all of us. In particular, the 'Greenprint Challenge Report' commissioned by Mayor Wesely sets the stage by identifying the 'signature' landscapes in the area."
The Nebraska Wildlife Federation, chartered in 1970, is a statewide organization dedicated to environmental education, fish and wildlife conservation and common sense public policy. Federation volunteers help others develop backyard and schoolyard habitat areas, monitor annual bird migrations, conserve Nebraska streams and restore wildlife habitat.

Murphy suddenly reunited with Cam in Carolina
When quarterback Cam Newton's Panthers traded for receiver Louis Murphy on Monday, the two got exactly what they needed. Not because of any small sample of chemistry they may have developed during their brief time together as Gators, but because of how they need each other now as professionals. On one hand, Murphy is hoping Newton can help revive his career much the same way he resuscitated star wideout Steve Smith's with a sparkling rookie season in 2011. Murphy led… Read More »

EDINBURGH (Reuters) - A few months ago Max Olesker and Ivan Gonzalez, both 27, were sitting in a dank East London flat poring over lines and comedic pauses. Now they're in the running to win one of Britain's most prestigious comedy awards.
The comedy sketch duo known as Max and Ivan, whose tender narrative of a school reunion has packed in audiences all month and caught the attention of critics, have been shortlisted for the Foster's Comedy Award for best act at the Edinburgh Fringe, the world's largest arts festival.
The award brings with it 10,000 pounds ($15,600), but more than that it is a launch pad for stardom.
British actor Hugh Laurie (best known for U.S. TV medical series "House") won the award, then called the Perrier, with British actors Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson as the Cambridge Footlights back in 1981.
Since then "The Look of Love" actor Steve Coogan, and the sketch group behind the dark UK TV comedy "League of Gentlemen" have also won the prize.
The award has become an important marker both for emerging talent and for the state of alternative comedy in general. It cannot be won by comics who already have a TV series or can fill a 500-seat venue under their own name.
"(Winning) would change our prospects, of course it would," Olesker told Reuters in an interview in a dimly lit bar above their Edinburgh venue.
"The prize is a milestone, it's a wonderful thing."
The other six shortlisted acts were predominantly stand-up shows, but covering a wide spectrum.
Nick Helm with his high-energy and self-aggrandizing show, James Acaster whose sketch centres on wanting to marry Yoko Ono, and feminist comic Bridget Christie's rampage against men's magazines and misogynists.
Seann Walsh, Carl Donnelly, and Mike Wozniak round out the list. The winner is announced on Saturday.
Like most of the performers in Edinburgh Max and Ivan first came to the Fringe as students having met at university. It is an important training ground for young comics and actors, and often their first exposure to the professional industry of critics, agents, public relations and full-time comics.
It has also become an important place to make the lucrative move into TV.
"There's a lot of producers around, they come up for the last week and see a bunch of shows," Gonzalez said.
"We don't usually know they're in, but in the weeks after Edinburgh we'll suddenly be called for a series of meetings in London."
One producer sitting watching Bridget Christie's show told Reuters his visit to Edinburgh was the most productive week of his year.
Edinburgh is all about making it.
Nick Helm, whose career took off on the back of successful Edinburgh shows and has made the shortlist for the second time this year, opens his high-energy show with all the awards he missed out on.
"I've done 22 shows in 15 years," he bellows dressed in an Evel Knievel outfit, "I've been ignored by an industry that knows nothing... I lived off Cornish pasties, I couldn't pay my rent," as giant rude hand gestures involving middle fingers fly on the screen behind him.
Now with a solid reputation and a pipeline of work extending right through to next September, Helm says he looks back with fondness on the early days.
"It's really satisfying coming back to where I started when no one knew me," he told Reuters.
"I used to come and watch comedy at the Pleasance (one of the main venues) and 10 years later I'm doing comedy at the Pleasance."
For Helm Edinburgh is a grueling but rewarding training ground.
"When I first came up to do comedy I did about two years worth of gigs in a month... by the end of that month I was a better comedian."
Often this self-improvement is all comics come away with. The Fringe, with nearly 3,000 shows performed by 24,000 artists in 273 venues, has grown to such proportions that performances get lost in the noise.
As one sheepish group creep in late to James Acaster's show, the stand-up comic asks why they are late. They had come from another show which had overrun. Who did you see?, Acaster asks. "I can't remember the name," comes the response.
"And that ladies and gentleman sums up the Fringe," says Acaster. "Spend a year spitting your guts out writing a show and people forget your name as soon as they walk out."

(Reuters) - Bullying, racism and clubhouse culture are dominating all the talk about the National Football League (NFL) these days, but this too shall pass for the U.S. sporting juggernaut that seems impervious to controversy, experts say.
"It's the Teflon league," Bob Dorfman, executive creative director of San Francisco's Baker Street Advertising, told Reuters on Thursday. "No matter what you throw at it, it doesn't seem to stick."
The latest firestorm surrounds Richie Incognito, an All-Pro guard who was suspended indefinitely by the Miami Dolphins on Sunday after allegations of abuse, including racial epithets captured on voicemails, were made by teammate Jonathan Martin.
The case, which is being investigated for the NFL by high-powered attorney Ted Wells, has flung open the door on locker room cultures that embrace the frat-house style hazing of young players, and prize toughness and aggression.
It has also spawned debate across the universe of radio talk shows and office watercoolers about standing up to bullies and dealing with peer pressure and harassment in the workplace.
It may also help TV ratings.
"This whole hazing scandal will probably juice up the ratings for the Monday night game," Sports Business Journal NFL writer Daniel Kaplan said about the November 11 contest between the Dolphins (4-4) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-8).
"Who would've wanted to tune in for that? But instead it's almost going to be like rubber-necking - people tuning in just to see how bad it is. In a morbid way, it's a fascinating match-up that will help the TV ratings."
Not that the NFL particularly needs ratings help.
NFL games have snared the top 18 places among most-watched shows on U.S. television since the 2013 season began.
The league will take in $4.2 billion in TV revenues this season. Over the next five years, the NFL will rake in at least $27.5 billion.
This success comes despite deep concerns over player safety and disturbing accounts of brain damage to former players from repeated concussions, and despite dealing with protests over the Redskins nickname of the Washington team, considered by many to be a slur to Native Americans.
Uninterrupted profit has poured in despite risking harm to the product by using replacement referees last season during a contract dispute, and before that having to mete out harsh punishment for bounties paid for hurting opponents on the field.
Nothing has slowed down the business of the NFL, called "the ultimate reality show," by Dorfman.
The popularity of the NFL could hardly be expected to be dented by the Dolphins flap, according to Andrew Zimbalist, professor of sports economics at Smith College.
"I don't think it's going to be something like this hazing scandal with Incognito or isolated incidents of racism," Zimbalist told Reuters.
"It's a little bit like the policeman in 'Casablanca' saying he's horrified to learn that there's gambling going on here.' To say that there are excesses of machismo in the NFL clubhouse, how could anybody not know that.
"I think the area where they are potentially more vulnerable is health."
A recent ESPN report that said Hall of Fame running back Tony Dorsett is showing signs of a degenerative brain disease many scientists say is caused by head trauma and linked to depression and dementia, underlined again the darkest cloud hovering over the league.
Just before the start of the season the NFL agreed to pay $765 million to settle a lawsuit brought by thousands of former players, many suffering from dementia and health problems, who accused the league of hiding the dangers of brain injury.
That was seen as a small hit for a league believed to generate total revenue of more than $9 billion a year.
But the dangers of the game could sour the appetite among a growing number of fans, and could lead parents to steer their children away from playing American football.
"Could the talent pool dry up?" pondered Robert Boland, professor of sports management at New York University. "That's the biggest concern. If people don't play football or are not allowed to play football, the game could suffer.
"But not in the short run. Football is in as strong a media position and consumption position as it could be."
Marc Ganis, president of Chicago-based sports consulting firm Sportscorp Ltd, which does substantial work for NFL teams, agreed safety issues were the key concern of officials, who have put in new rules to protect against head injuries.
"It goes to every aspect of the league. Financial, on-field performance, fan interest, public relations, union relations," Ganis told Reuters. "It goes to almost every aspect of what the league deals with."
Ganis said the players themselves have sometimes gotten in the way of progress. "What's needed? An alteration of the mindset of the players themselves. And that's proving to be the most difficult thing to achieve.
"I'm talking about attitude. The warrior mentality."
Ganis said that is one reason the NFL has focused attention on improved training in youth football programs.
"The mindset is instilled at a very young age and they need to get to youth football to affect the next generation of players."

Perspectives on Climate Change from Nepal and Sri Lanka
In the course of my daily life here in Washington, climate change is discussed in small conversations, seen and heard on the news, and is an occasional contentious political issue. But truth be told, it feels like a remote subject. Rush hour traffic is as thick as ever, thermostats continue to be turned up, and the recent snow piled as high as I've ever seen.
It wasn't until on a recent trip to Nepal and Sri Lanka for work that I could truly perceive some tangible effects and possible negative impacts of climate change. While driving through dimly lit Kathmandu, which was plagued by 9 hours of blackouts a day, I wondered what was affecting water tables so that less than optimal amounts of hydro power were being generated.


text: On the Yahoo discussion group on Cellbiology, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cellbiology/ , someone posted a link to research establishing an effect of strong magnetic fields on the division process: Powerful magnetic field forces living cells to change. "Writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers suggest that the magnetic field forced cellular protein ropes, called microtubules, to orient parallel to it, re-orienting the cleavages. A microtubule is a cellular structure, part of what is called the mitotic spindle apparatus, which normally determines cleavage direction. "The microtubules re-orient in a similar way as a compass needle turns along magnetic north. Unlike the iron in a compass needle, the Earth's weak magnetic field is insufficient to cause the microtubules to realign. The materials composing the microtubules and the rest of the frog eggs respond very weakly to magnetic fields. This weak response is probably at the root of disagreements among scientists about whether steady magnetic fields affect living things, the researchers said. Their study shows that a huge magnetic field, more than 100,000 times as strong as Earth's, will affect the eggs." http://www.brown.edu/Administration/News_Bureau/1998-99/98-098.html The full text of the PNAS article is available here: Cleavage planes in frog eggs are altered by strong magnetic fields (cell division/mitotic apparatus/microtubules/Xenopus) James M.

You know that your professional life has taken a turn for the better when people will pay to see your drawings of The Banker, AKA Karl Marx, vamping his way through the British Raj in blackface (or brownface, to be precise). But I digress …
This stanzel is jam-packed with jolly bits of scrumptious, Nonsense-soaked Carrollian references. Would it interest you to know that:
1. Mimsy is a portmanteau of miserable and flimsy. The word is current throughout the Carrollian Multiverse, ranging from Snark Island to Looking Glass Land. Pessimistic linguists call this sort of thing a Grimm Shift, while their more psychologically attuned colleagues prefer to call it a Freudian Slip. The main thing is getting the word out of her knickers and into something a little more comfortable.
2. The Banker is rattling his bones and fingering his hair; the former is a reference to Mister Bones, a stock character in Victorian minstrel shows who would literally play himself, ie., play the bones … and the latter is a probably just the Banker luxuriating in his newly-minted, windswept locks. Dialectical materialism works wonders on the dreaded Bed Head.
|The Bone Player, by William Stanley Mount
3. The deliciously well-turned line, "words whose utter inanity proved his insanity," is a cleverly veiled jab at the letter "S", whose appearance inside a word, say inanity, seems sufficient here to render it unfit to operate heavy machinery or make major financial decisions. This petty defamation of the letter "S" is itself a classic example of the inability of most phonemes to just get along. Why can't they learn to live in peace with one another? It's utter insanity, their communal inanity.

Elizabeth Warren, Elijah Cummings, Maxine Waters Call For More Transparency On Failed Foreclosure Reviews
2013-02-01 — huffingtonpost.com
Three influential lawmakers on Thursday called for bank regulators to disclose more details of the $8.5 billion foreclosure abuse settlement reached earlier this month and to reveal what happened during the case-by-case review program it abruptly replaced.
In a letter to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) wrote that "additional transparency" was necessary to ensure the confidence necessary "to speed recovery in the housing markets."

Happy 70th Birthday Grace Coddington!
Grace Coddington turned 50 in 1991, Anna Wintour threw her a blowout party at Indochine in New York, with portraits from her modeling days adorning the walls. Coddington wore Alaia (left), and Azzedine himself flew in to surprise the redheaded editor at the dinner.
Word is Coddington has again reserved all of Indochine tonight — this time to celebrate her 70th birthday. We look back at some of our favorite Coddington pictures over the years in tribute.

What we have on our hands here is a classic Hollywood mystery. Imagine a movie based on a Stephen King book series, adapted by Akiva Goldsman, directed by Ron Howard, produced by Brian Grazer, possibly starring Russell Crowe. Sounds like a movie a big studio would put out and lots of people would see, many of them not liking it very much but hey it was the only thing in that weekend and it was fun enough, RIGHT? WRONG! One of those is wrong! From Variety:
The ambitious journey of Stephen King's THE DARK TOWER book series to the bigscreen and TV has hit another setback, as Warner Bros., which had been in talks to take it on after Universal let it go, has also decided to not move forward. Ron Howard would direct and produce along with Brian Grazer and King through Grazer and Howard's Imagine Entertainment banner. Warner Bros. had no comment. Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman had recently delivered his latest draft for the film's first installment and Russell Crowe had shown interest in playing the lead if Warners gave the film a greenlight. Series revolves around gunslinger Roland Deschain who roams an Old West-like landscape in search of a dark tower, in hopes that reaching it will preserve his dying world. Imagine is still able to take the project back out to other studios, but this latest news is a blow to the film's future — when Universal first let go of the film, most insiders around town believed WB was its best chance of getting made.
WHY DOESN'T ANYONE WANT TO MAKE THIS MOVIE? It sounds just like a movie that anyone would make! So much like a movie that anyone would make one must ask the question: What do these big studios know that we don't? Must be something, right? It's a mystery! All we can all do right now is throw in all of our two cents and maybe solve this great Hollywood mystery together.
Ok. So. Why doesn't anyone want to make The Dark Tower, a series that could translate into a perfectly mediocre movie?
- The Dark Tower is haunted and any studio that enters into talks to take it on is visited by 25 ghosts, each of them younger than the last, until the final baby ghost stations itself in the head of the studio's beautiful home and just cries and cries and cries until the studio has to let the project go to get the baby ghost out.
- The Dark Tower's ex-boyfriend put out word that any studio who tries to release The Dark Tower is going to get beat up — BAD.
- The Dark Tower doesn't have a large enough fan base or an interesting enough premise and the studios don't think it will be worth the amount of money it will take to make it.
- The Dark Tower is for nerds.
- The Dark Tower has a secret dark past and the studios know that once the film is released the secrets will eventually be dug up and the PR will be a nightmare.
- The Dark Tower is a diva on set.
- The Dark Tower doesn't actually exist and its saga is only meant to distract us from what's REALLY going on.
- The Dark Tower is totally fine — great, really — and maybe if the studios were at a different point in their lives they would be thrilled to take on the project, but they're just not ready for that kind of commitment right now.
- The Dark Tower is Kristen Stewart.
One of those? ALL of those? What do you think? Let's solve this mystery, once and for all!

The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources and Green Mountain Power (GMP) have agreed on a plan through which the utility will minimize the incidental taking of endangered bats at its 63 MW Kingdom Community Wind plant, as well as provide $18,438 annually to bolster Vermont's bat conservation efforts.
These terms were part of a signed memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Vermont agency last month, which helped GMP procure an Endangered Species Permit to continue operating its 21-turbine wind energy facility. The Kingdom Community Wind project, located in the town of Lowell, came online in December 2012.
GMP first received authorization to operate the Lowell wind facility in 2011, but it came with an order from the agency to monitor and reduce bat fatalities and instructions to avoid killing state endangered bats. Since that time, three additional species of bats – the little brown bat, northern long-eared bat and the tri-colored bat – have been added to the state's endangered species list.
In the MOU, GMP agreed to provide primary funding for the Bat Maternity Colony Technical Assistance Program administered by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. The program works to reduce bat mortality from other human causes by addressing homeowners' concerns about bats in their houses. According to the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, the increase in bats saved through this program is expected to far exceed the number taken by turbines at the Lowell facility. To date, no endangered bats have been found harmed during this year's monitoring at the facility, the agency adds.
"All forms of energy development impact wildlife," says Scott Darling, bat biologist for the Fish & Wildlife Department. "This one measure that GMP is undertaking has the real possibility to lower the impact on endangered bats."Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Dorothy Schnure, a GMP spokesperson, adds that the utility is happy to work with the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources and protect the state's bat population.
As a condition of the 2011 permit proceedings, GMP voluntarily agreed to curtail turbine activity during the summer to reduce collisions with migratory bats. The agency says this measure will substantially reduce mortalities of all bat species.      Â

What Not to Wear, by Elizabeth I
For men:
"Her Majesty doth straightly charge and command that none shall wear in his apparel cloth of gold or silver tissued, silk of colour purple, under the decree of an Earl, except Knights of the Garter in their purple robes only.
None shall wear cloth of gold or silver, tinselled satin, silk or cloth mixed or embroidered with gold or silver, woollen cloth made out of the realm under the degree of a baron, except Knights of the Garter, Privy Counsellors to the Queen's Majesty."
As for women, Elizabeth felt that only countesses could wear cloth of gold or silver tissued, or purple silk, except viscountesses who were allowed to wear cloth of gold or silver tissued in their kirtles only.
Every rank had its own particular way of dressing, textiles that only they could wear.
The poor wore coarse woollen garments...

Do you know if it's true what I read in a not particularly trustworthy book - it said Claudius choked to death on a feather without a word about the likelihood he was poisoned by Agrippina - that it was common in Elizabethan times for women including the Queen to wear dresses exposing the breasts completely?
- Saturday, 09 July, 2005
Women wore dresses of that kind in the late 14th and early 15th centuries; I don't know if they were still around by Queen Elisabeth's time

Claudius used to tickle his throat with a feather in order to vomit after having eaten a particluarly large meal. This was done by many rich Romans for the purpose of making space in the stomach for more food. Thus they could eat and drink for hours on end. This however is not how Claudius died. See my recent post.
As for the dresses you refer to, I do not think they were in vogue in Elizabethan times were being buttoned up to the neck was the thing to do and top it all with an extremelly uncomfortable ruff around the neck. However, it is said that Elizabeth I wore a disconcertingly low neckline at times because she was a virgin. Of course what was low for those days usualy meant yopu could see a bit of cleavage.

On Monday, Jan. 9, representatives from Syracuse University's Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) and the Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF), the EBV Foundation and EBV corporate sponsors PepsiCo, Walmart and Humana visited the New York Stock Exchange. Their visit highlighted the work the EBV program and foundation are undertaking to provide cutting-edge entrepreneurship training to open the door to small business ownership to post-9/11 veterans with service-related disabilities.
EBV graduate Elizabeth Perez-Halperin, president and founder of GC Green, a post-9/11 service-disabled veteran-owned green build general contracting and consulting firm, rang the NYSE Closing Bell. Perez-Halperin, a graduate of the EBV at Texas A&M, was joined on the bell podium by EBV founder and IVMF executive director Mike Haynie, fellow EBV program graduates and representatives from the EBV Foundation and corporate sponsors.
"It is an honor that the EBV took part in the closing bell ceremony at the NYSE. We are pleased by this recognition and thrilled about our ongoing relationship with our corporate sponsors who help us provide opportunities for meaningful and needed training in entrepreneurship for our nation's returning veterans, veteran business owners and their families," says Haynie.
Since its founding in 2007, 450 veterans from across the nation have graduated from the EBV, which has spurred the creation of more than 200 new veteran-owned businesses. Founded at SU's Whitman School of Management and operated under the auspices of the IVMF, the EBV program is offered through a national consortium of eight world-class schools across the country, including SU; the University of California, Los Angeles; Florida State University; Texas A&M University; Purdue University; the University of Connecticut; Louisiana State University; and Cornell University.

- The variety of minds served the economy of nature in many ways. The Creator, who designed the human brain for activity, had insured the restlessness of all minds by enabling no single one to envisage all the qualities of the creation. Since no one by himself could aspire to a serene knowledge of the whole truth, all men had been drawn into an active, exploratory and cooperative attitude.

Get directions to Wabash College Fine Arts Center
The Wabash College Schroeder Career Center will sponsor two talks next week for students who want to succeed in the working world. Lisa DiTullio will present, "Want Success? Try Vanilla," at 7 p.m., Monday, October 20, and Ellen Augustine will discuss, "The Job Market Advantage: Understanding Green Principles and Local/Global Myths," at 7 p.m. Tuesday, October 21. Both events will take place in Korb Classroom in the Fine Arts Center.
DiTullio's one-hour program educates, entertains, and advises students on how to avert professional mishap by recognizing and developing simple core competencies to promote project and business success. By attending DiTullio's program, students will learn how to balance project assignments with their "real" job; acquire teambuilding skills, including dealing with difference among team members; develop leadership skills when forced to do "more with less"; and perform well under tight deadlines and competing priorities. DiTuillio says that this program is what students need to know to be successful in today's project-oriented business world.
Augustine's program will help students will understand how they can incorporate sustainable practices and principles into every profession, not just Eco-careers. Augustine is an inspirational speaker and author on new options for thriving green economies. Her stories profile people who are creating businesses, which increase profits by being eco-friendly, and those who are revitalizing communities and renewing the environment. She ran for U.S. Congress and founded/co-founded four nonprofits on international citizen diplomacy, media violence, mentoring at-risk youth, and environmental sustainability. She is a contributing author to A Game As Old As Empire: The Secret World of Economic Hit Men and the Web of Global Corruption. She is co-author of Taking Back Our Lives in the Age of Corporate Dominance. Augustine has been featured in Utne Reader and Hope Magazine, received the Women of Achievement and Thread of Hope Awards, and was named one of 21 Visionaries for the 21st Century.
The Crawfordsville community is invited to both talks.

When most of us hear the word Director relating to Microsoft Lync Server, we begin to cringe and think about all the heated discussions that have occurred in the past, or for some, the present. Lync Server 2013 has cleared up some of the uneasiness surrounding the server role that many would call the most confusing of all Lync Server roles because of the uncertainty of whether to deploy or not deploy. With Lync Server 2013, Microsoft has eased its stance on the Director role by stating that it's now optional instead of a requirement. I'll address three areas in this article:
- What is Lync Server's Director role?
- Director server role inner workings
- Supported topologies for using the Director role
(To learn about the Persistent Chat Server, see "Lync Server 2013 Persistent Chat.")
The Director Role
The Director role is a server that authenticates user requests, but it doesn't home any user accounts. The Director isn't a new role to Lync Server 2013; the functionality was introduced back in the days of Microsoft Live Communications Server (LCS) 2005, which is many versions of Lync ago.
The Director role gives administrators the ability to point users to a server where users aren't homed (not intentionally, that is) and let the Director redirect the user request to the appropriate Front End server. The Director plays an important role in informing clients where their primary and backup registrars are located from a pool standpoint.
Director Inner Workings
Lync 2013 Front End servers have the same registrar service and functionality as the Director. When users register against a registrar that isn't their primary registrar (Front End server), a 301 Redirect is returned to the users' client; the error message includes the user's primary and backup registrar along with the appropriate Lync Front End server to fulfill the registration request.
When the Lync client is configured for automatic configuration, and the user begins to sign in, a DNS request for an SRV record, _sipinternaltls._tcp.
The Director retrieves information from Active Directory (AD) to determine on which pool each user is homed. The Director can also determine a user's home pool from the local RTCLocal database that resides on the local Director server and redirect the client to the correct pool. The Director points the client to the user's home pool where the client then attempts the sign in request again, this time using the correct server.
Supported Topologies
Keeping in mind that this role isn't necessarily required with Lync Server 2013, organizations can deploy the Director in the following Microsoft-supported scenarios:
- If you're deploying Edge Servers, you can deploy a Director to authenticate external users and then proxy their traffic to internal servers. When you use a Director in this manner, it relieves the Front End pool servers from the overhead of performing authentication of these users. It also helps insulate internal Front End pools from malicious traffic such as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
- If you deploy multiple Front End pools at a central site, you can improve performance on the Front End servers by adding a Director to that site, which alleviates the need for them to fulfill the redirect requests from clients. In this scenario, all requests go first to the Director, which then routes them to the correct Front End pool.
Final Thoughts
The Director isn't providing any special functionality. If the Director goes down, all pools would become inaccessible when the clients queried DNS for the SRV record until an administrator makes a manual internal DNS change that points users to a Front End pool to handle the sign-in request from Lync clients. Microsoft has made the Director functionality relevant for organizations that have specific security requirements, such as allowing all external users to register to a specific internal server instead of the Front End servers. But in the end, it's good to know that this server role is merely optional and not needed for most Lync Server 2013 deployments.

Kingston, NY
Winner of grants from the America the Beautiful Fund and New York State Council of the Arts, as well as recipient of both the Suffolk County Film Commission and Telly Awards, Tom Romeo has been recognized for his work as a \"storyteller\" who\'s choice of medium has always fit his choice of subject. As a writer, photographer, digital artist, producer, poet and performer, he immerses himself in both topic and technique to create beautiful images in real life and in the mind and soul of the viewer. Having grown up on film photography/chemical darkroom and analog video shooting and editing, the move to the digital realm in both these media excited his imagination and set him off on an exploration which led him to the \"Modigraph\" - a word of his own creation which describes his body of work consisting of digitally MODIfied photoGRAPHS.
*Most of my work starts in the natural world with a photograph. I then bring this photograph into the digital realm to see if and how it might inspire a re-imagining of the original image. Many times, I just utilize the computer as a \'digital darkroom\' to experiment with cropping, exposure, color balance, etc. just as I had in the traditional darkroom. Other times, I\'m inspired by shape or color or theme and totally modify the image into something that better expresses the picture I have in my mind. This can result in an enhanced reality, abstract images or totally original mindscapes created from combining elements from several different photos.
I love this process and can get lost for days working on a piece pixel by pixel until I get it just the way I want it.*

I could see it, but have reposted so hopefully it will be more visible.
I don't have any trouble seeing it.
It may be the camera angle but that black stripe almost makes it look as if the front end is a little odd shaped. I like the 57 Chevy in the background too.
Camera wasn't available so a Cellphone had to do. The Cobras shape was just fine...
It's there now, wasn't before.
I believe the Chevy is a 56... The 57 had two bullet hood ornaments and three fake louvers on the side. The 55 had a big square grill.
Deadly looking beast!

I know it's bold, wide and in your face... but I think I like it!!!

Some mix of stripes.
Two more.
And the last ones for now.
Those are very nice cars and the first one is bold and in your face, but once it is being driven I don't think anyone will notice that. I believe the width of the stripe without much of a break on either side makes it look a lot wider than it is, though it does cover the whole front opening.
Hi Q. Interesting pics you posted here. I'm going to take a wild guess here. Did you get these pics from JohnSpeeds website. That might be the car we bought from him. Took me about 18 months to rebuild it, and yesterday I took it on it's maiden voyage..Originally Posted by Q";11182][B][SIZE="4
Needs a good polish now..
I like the blue one.
After looking at all of Q's various options, I'm quite convinced that my stock looking twin stripes would get odd looks and laughed at if I drove my car in SA.
The SA crowd is very creative and they definitely go beyond the norm with their cars. Makes for a less boring Cobra car show, that's for sure!
"...tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime."
No, I actually went to Johney Eekhout's place to look at that Cobra. I was very tempted to buy it for myself as I really liked the paint scheme and the idea of running the BM suspension.I'm going to take a wild guess here. Did you get these pics from JohnSpeeds website.
Good to know where that Cobra went too and that it is on the road now. Have fun on this site and with your Cobra.
Your Cobra is looking good!:cool:
