Gun control debate begins to simmer after massacre
ABOVE PHOTO: Supporters of gun control gather on Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House in Washington, Friday, Dec. 14, 2012, during a vigil for the victims of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Ct., and to call on President Obama to pass strong gun control laws.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Democrats say meaningful action in the wake of the school shootings in Connecticut must include a ban on military-style assault weapons and a look at how the nation deals with individuals suffering from serious mental illness.
Several Democratic lawmakers and Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman said it was time to take a deeper look into the recent spate of mass shootings and what can be done to prevent them. Gun control was a hot topic in the early 1990s, when Congress enacted a 10-year ban on assault weapons. But since that ban expired in 2004, few Americans have wanted stricter laws and politicians say they don't want to become targets of a powerful gun-rights lobby.
Gun-rights advocates said that might all change after the latest shooting that killed 20 children aged 6 or 7. Police say the gunman, Adam Lanza, was carrying an arsenal of ammunition and used a high-powered rifle similar to the military's M-16.
On Monday, Sen. Joe Manchin, a lifelong member of the National Rifle Association, said it was time to discuss gun policy and move toward action on gun regulation. The conservative West Virginia Democrat said Monday he agrees with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has advocated banning the sale of assault weapons.
Manchin is the most prominent gun rights advocate to speak after the shooting, telling MSNBC that he is a "proud outdoorsman and hunter, but this doesn't make sense."
At a Sunday night service in Newtown, Conn., the site of Friday's massacre, President Barack Obama did not specifically address gun control. But he vowed, "In the coming weeks I'll use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens, from law enforcement to mental health professionals to parents and educators in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this."
He added: "Are we really prepared to say that we're powerless in the face of such carnage, that the politics are too hard? Are we prepared to say that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?"
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said the nation "could be at a tipping point ... a tipping point where we might actually get something done" on gun control. He and other Democrats, as well as Lieberman, said they want to ban the sale of new assault weapons and make it harder for mentally ill individuals to obtain weapons. Lieberman said a new commission should be created to look at gun laws and the mental health system, as well as violence in movies and video games.
"Assault weapons were developed for the U.S. military, not commercial gun manufacturers," Lieberman said before the Newtown vigil Sunday night.
"This is a moment to start a very serious national conversation about violence in our society, particularly about these acts of mass violence," said the Connecticut senator, who is retiring at the end of the year.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said she will introduce legislation next year to ban new assault weapons, as well as big clips, drums and strips of more than 10 bullets.
"It can be done," Feinstein told NBC's "Meet the Press" of reinstating the ban despite deep opposition by the powerful National Rifle Association and similar groups.
Bloomberg said Obama could use executive powers to enforce existing gun laws, as well as throw his weight behind legislation like Feinstein's.
"It's time for the president, I think, to stand up and lead and tell this country what we should do — not go to Congress and say, 'What do you guys want to do?'" Bloomberg said."
Gun-rights activists had remained largely quiet on the issue since Friday's shooting, all but one declining to appear on the Sunday talk shows.
David Gregory, the host of "Meet the Press," said NBC invited all 31 "pro-gun" senators to appear on Sunday's show, and all 31 declined. All eight Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee were unavailable or unwilling to appear on CBS' "Face the Nation," host Bob Schieffer said.
Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, was the sole representative of gun rights' activists on the various Sunday talk shows. In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," Gohmert defended the sale of assault weapons and said that the principal at Sandy Hook Elementary School, who authorities say died trying to overtake the shooter, should herself have been armed.
"I wish to God she had had an M-4 in her office, locked up so when she heard gunfire, she pulls it out and she didn't have to lunge heroically with nothing in her hands. But she takes him (the shooter) out, takes his head off before he can kill those precious kids," Gohmert said.
Gohmert also argued that violence is lower in cities with lax gun laws, and higher in cities with stricter laws.
"The facts are that every time guns have been allowed — conceal-carry (gun laws) have been allowed — the crime rate has gone down," Gohmert said.
Gun-control advocates say that isn't true. A study by the California-based Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence determined that 7 of the 10 states with the strongest gun laws — including Connecticut, Massachusetts and California — are also among the 10 states with the lowest gun death rates.
"If you look at the states with the strongest gun laws in the country, they have some of the lowest gun death rates, and some of the states with the weakest gun laws have some of the highest gun death rates," said Brian Malte of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

France repel late Irish surge
13 Feb 2011
RYAN VREDE reports on France's impressive 25-22 victory over Ireland in Dublin.
The Test was an advert for a style of play that is possible in the northern hemisphere when the attacking team is allowed a fair crack at recycling. This has seldom been the case, with referees generally way too lenient and defenders all too willing to exploit that generosity, making for a dour spectacle.
The manner in which Ireland started – patient controlled phase play at pace – suggested they would dominate. A fourth minute converted try from Fergus McFadden after cavalier play from France in their red zone had the home crowd buzzing, but their ill-discipline cost them thereafter, with France scrumhalf Morgan Parra sinking four penalties for a 12-10 lead.
France must be credited. They remedied their early defensive failings and starved the hosts of possession. They were hardly incisive on attack, with much of their play taking place well behind the gain line, but it was enough to temporarily subdue their opponents.
That was until the dying stages of the first half when scrumhalf Tomas O'Leary sniped around the ruck fringe to score after they again depleted the defensive line through multiple phases. Sexton missed the conversion, the half ending with Ireland 15-12 ahead.
Parra banked his fifth penalty to level the scores, and minutes later Maxime Medard rounded off a slick backline movement – set up by an Aurelie Rougerie linebreak – to give France the momentum going into the final quarter.
Ireland were visibly shaken and failed to replicate the elements of their first half effort that had brought success. France sensed this, redoubling their defensive effort.
Replacement scrumhalf Dimitri Yachvili kicked a crucial 63rd minute penalty, but Ireland set up a tense finish when Jamie Heaslip scored in the corner four minutes later. Ronan O'Gara kicked the touchline conversion. Ireland's best chance at victory came with a minute to go, but a knock on saw there ambitions crushed.

13 Feb 2011, 18:57 pmUnlucky Ireland. Great game of rugby.
13 Feb 2011, 19:00 pmfrance were impressive but got outscored three tries to one so there is still lots of hard work ahead of them.
13 Feb 2011, 19:01 pmOutstanding game of rugby, Ireland really should have scored there at end, don't think enough support was up there fast enough.
13 Feb 2011, 19:07 pmthe irish could not muster together that great legendary ira spirit of days gone by to get them over the line but there is lots to take out of the game for kidney to work with.at least they did not disgrace themselves at home unlike those scots yesterday.
13 Feb 2011, 20:21 pmWell done France.
Ref kept you in it in the first half but you showed grit to close it out. -
13 Feb 2011, 21:30 pmIf you don't like French rugby, you don't like rugby
13 Feb 2011, 21:35 pmwhat does uhuru mean? i heared that it means that all black ppl's mothers are a "huru" = hoer in afrikaans
13 Feb 2011, 22:10 pmGood game of rugby, not too sure how the writer of this article can say that France were impressive! They took their chances, but will be klapped by the poms, if they play like they did against the Irish and the poms keep improving!
14 Feb 2011, 01:57 amThe French goal-kicking was worryingly good, from distance too.
14 Feb 2011, 07:52 amFrance looked good – the question is can they keep the same team and pattern through to the WC – your guess is as good as mine.
14 Feb 2011, 12:03 pmBig Hit – MM very very good. I don't know how the French do it but they seem to produce quality flyhalves and scrummies regularly. Parra's kicking was outstanding and Yachvilli is no mug either, another player who should have been at RWC2007!!
The French pack is another facity of their game that is brilliant!!

John Wall at NBA.com |
Johnathan "John" Hildred Wall (born September 6, 1990, in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA) is an American basketball player in the NBA at Point Guard for the Washington Wizards. Wall was drafted 1st overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft out of University of Kentucky.
Contents |
Early Life
Wall was born on September 6, 1990, in Raleigh, North Carolina, to Frances Pulley and John Wall, Sr. Wall was their only child. Young John Wall lost his father to liver cancer at the age of nine.
High School
As a fifth-year senior in 2009, Wall was ranked as one of the best high school basketball players in his class and was ranked by most as the best point guard in the class. Rivals.com rated him the #1 player in the country, Scout.com rated him #2, and he was rated #5 in the ESPNU100. Wall led Word of God Christian Academy to the North Carolina Class 1A state championship against United Faith Christian Academy but they were defeated 56-53 after one of the United Faith players hit a 40 foot shot at the buzzer. He scored 11 points in the game. He was selected to participate in the 2009 Nike Hoop Summit in Portland. He scored 13 points to go along with 11 assists and 5 steals. He was also selected to play in the 2009 Jordan Brand Classic at Madison Square Garden.
Wall committed to attend the University of Kentucky on May 19, 2009. He was suspended by the NCAA from Kentucky's first exhibition game and first regular season game, for travel benefits he received from his AAU coach, Brian Clifton, who was a certified agent at the time. In his first action as a Wildcat, in an exhibition game against Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Wall led his team with 27 points and 9 assists in 28 minutes of playing time.
On December 29, 2009, against Hartford, Wall set the UK single game assist record with 16, 11 in the 1st half, and only 1 turnover. The mark was previously held by Travis Ford, at 15, and was broken on Ford's 40th birthday. This is also the highest number of assists in one game recorded by any NCAA collegiate player this season as of 12/29/2009. He failed to break double digits in scoring (9 points) for the first time in his college career.
Kentucky coach John Calipari said the following about Wall: "John is a program builder not a taker. He has great pride in his ability and wants to make a statement this season. He's a player coaches dream about because he's a natural leader with the skill to make others better. His length should allow him to be a force on the defensive end from day one."
Entering the NBA Draft
Because Wall was a fifth-year senior in 2009 and would turn 19 by the end of the year, some sources argued that he was eligible for the 2009 NBA Draft. Draft rules state that American players must turn 19 during the year of the draft and must be a year removed from their regular high school class. NBA spokesman Tim Frank told sportswriter Chad Ford that the league was not sure if Wall met the second criteria, and that league officials would need to "do [their] due diligence to determine his eligibility". However, Wall announced in April 2009 that he was not entering his name for the draft. Wall has been at the top of draft boards across the web since the 2009-2010 season began. Many scouts have said that Wall is expected to be the #1 pick of the draft whenever he declares.
On April 7, 2010, Wall announced that he would forgo his final three seasons of collegiate eligibility and enter the 2010 NBA Draft, where he was expected to be the first overall selection for the Washington Wizards. On May 3, Wall signed with agent Dan Fegan.
On June 23, 2010, Reebok revealed Wall as its latest signing, casting him as the face of its latest basketball shoe, the ZigTech Slash.
Professional Career
Wall was selected first overall in the 2010 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards. On June 25, 2010, the day after the draft, Mayor Adrian Fenty of Washington D.C. declared June 25 as John Wall Day on a plaque handed to John Wall during his Washington Wizards' presser. Wall was named the Most Outstanding Player at the 2010 Las Vegas Summer League.
Legal Trouble
On April 27, 2009, Wall was charged with misdemeanor breaking and entering after police found him walking out of a vacant house in Raleigh, North Carolina. He and two other teenagers were briefly detained and cited, but not arrested.

So im the one that had the post before the old site crashed that my M3 was taken in the Atlanta area. I thought that was bad but now my insurance company doesnt want to give me what I think is a fair amount for my M3. Seeing if anyone on here has any experince that can help me fight with these guys, I havent been in the postion of having a car stolen or be a total loss before. I sent them pics and copies of receipts from all the work I had done to the car (I own a vw/audi shop) in the last 18 months. They offered me me $6100 for the car which I felt was way low. Cars in similar shape go for $12-$13000.
If anyone has any suggestions or information that can help me get what the car is worth, please let me know!

Unfortunately, "Defying Gravity" will have to be listed as one of its well-intentioned mistakes, another of the many peculiar oddities churned out by broadcast and cable every year, every week, every moment of our earthbound little lives. While "Defying Gravity" might be a good title for a sitcom set in outer space, the gravity being defied here is of a more sober, serious, scientific sort.
At least the series makes an attempt to correct the estimates of space breakthroughs projected in 1968 by Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey." Kubrick and writer Arthur C. Clarke foresaw humans larking about the universe willy-nilly no later than the turn of the century. And there was that big spooky mission to "Jupiter . . . and beyond," remember? Zero-gravity toilets had been invented but somehow communism had survived.
It isn't made terribly clear, at least not in the first episode, what kind of planet Earth has become by the time "Defying Gravity" occurs. In fact, it isn't clear what time "Defying Gravity" does occur. As the series begins, we don't know when it is, but soon there's a caption on the screen that says "2042 — 10 Years Earlier — Mars." Ten years earlier than what? Never mind, because by the next commercial break it's "5 Years Earlier" than 10 Years Earlier. It begins to seem like a game. Or a twist on that backward episode of "Seinfeld" when the mission's destination was merely India.
Space travel can't be all that common by 2042 or even 2052, because the crew of the big ship spend a lot of time talking about it. "Space travel is a fool's game," someone says, twice, followed by a meditation on how much water is being toted around in your typical human body (we're 60 percent water, a scientist says). "Being an astronaut is all about control," one space ranger philosophizes.
"Man belongs in space," another crew member pipes up. "We're resilient; we can adapt," says somebody else or maybe the same one. "I've never felt more alive or more human," says an astronaut as the crew settles down for a long trip to Venus that is also apparently going to be a six-year "grand tour of the solar system."
It's all terribly confusing, but then quite a bit of sci-fi gets by on passing off the terribly confusing as profoundly mysterious.
The unfortunate truth of this mission is that you're going to need a whole lot of patience to get through even the first hour of it. Things do seem to be happening: One crew member's vasectomy is reversing on its own ("bit of a sticky wicket," as the British used to say); two potential crew members must report for physicals when large amounts of "calcified plaque" turn up inside them; one astronaut has to improvise an EVA (that's extra-vehicular activity, as those of us who remember the '60s will know) to save the ship, and an astronaut says she got pregnant from a one-night stand, but just how long are the nights out there in Spaceville?
Some of the special effects are beautiful and seem lavish for television, but as the movies of the past couple decades have shown, jim-dandy special effects can take you only so far, and now that TV shows are as special-effected as commercials have been almost since TV began, audiences have every reason to be jaded about them. The story has to be strong, and "Defying Gravity's" isn't.
There are no monsters, at least on the premiere, and that's disappointing. Then again, considering all the sex talk, there might be some of those "monsters from the id" that Professor Morbius talked about in "Forbidden Planet." That was the big, wide, scary one from MGM that gave us Robby the Robot — way back in 1956. "Defying Gravity" takes us not back to the future so much as forward to the past, and it takes its old sweet time about it, too.

The secret is out and the world's most anticipated dress provoked gasps of delight when Catherine Middleton finally showcased the look she picked for the 21st century's first royal bride. Designed exclusively for Kate – or the Duchess of Cambridge as she is now known, the gown with its beautiful Chantilly lace bodice over ivory and white silk gazar with long sleeves cost many thousands of pounds and is destined to become a style icon and a treasured heirloom, with similarities being drawn between this iconic gown and the wedding gown worn by Grace Kelly. Rumours are that it may be auctioned for charity, but images of it will be around forever.
There can only be one Princess/ Duchess Catherine but modern brides wishing to emulate her wedding day style need look no further than the exquisite collection at Madeline Isaac James, a collection of romantic, beautiful gowns designed to fit and flatter. Natalie Gladman, the designer of this renowned collection, commented today on Kate's style and choice of dress:
"Kate looked absolutely stunning in her gown, which complemented her perfectly and was entirely fitting for the occasion. Her dress is a timeless classic and will undoubtedly be a benchmark for future brides. As a bridal designer, I understand that the most important element in choosing a bridal gown is that the bride feels utterly spoiled, special and beautiful. Your wedding dress should reflect your personality and individual style while also highlighting your best points. My collections are designed with modern brides in mind, combining a love of vintage styling with contemporary fabrics and finishes such as Swarovski crystal, lace and many different silks including silk satin. We all wish Kate and William very many happy years ahead and look forward to dressing more brides who want to feel like a princess for the day!"
Madeline Isaac-James' 2012 Collection has been completed after months of sample production based on Natalie's designs from earlier in the year. Natalie was spot on with her prediction for the royal wedding gown (if you recall, she predicted in November 2010 that Kate would wear a dress that had a lace bodice, sleeves, V-neckline, full skirt and train, box pleats, and would wear a veil and a royal tiara!), and her 2012 Collection looks to be spot on in terms of styling that will exemplify Kate's understated, elegant and demure look. The Katharina dress from the soon-to-be launched 2012 collection at Madeline Isaac James sums up the beauty of the day (shown here in the Farnborough boutique shop window on the Royal Wedding Day). Made in silk satin and finished with silk organza, the dress embodies romance and love, and, like Kate's, it is designed to complement the bride's femininity on her special day, and will undoubtedly be a timeless class for brides wishing to emulate Kate's style. Watch out for more gowns from the 2012 Collection which are fit for a queen - including the 'Monaco' gown (inspired by Grace Kelly's wedding gown after Natalie's visit to the Grace Kelly exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum last summer) which bears a spooky resemblence to Kate's wedding gown!
Explore the whole current collection on www.madelineisaacjames.com and find it at the two gorgeous boutiques in Farnborough and Ashford, or at selected bridal retailers nationwide.

Naming Convention for Files
Understanding how DDClip deals with names is best illustrated by example.
- The name of the recording will be Aust.
NOTE: It is important to keep the name to the 8.3 convention. An example of this convention is FILENAME.EXT. You use eight characters or less for the name and three characters for the extension. In practice this could be Aust1234.wav.
- When required to give a name in the section Preparing for Recording I will use the name Aust.
- As recording takes place DDClip will allocate automatically the following names to the Clips:
Aust00.wav Aust01.wav Aust02.wav NOTE: DDClip doesn't allocate the name Aust.wav. DDClip starts allocating names adding a number at the end of the name. E.g. Aust00.wav. This feature of DDClip is very useful to us. You will see later in the example how we can use the name Aust.wav.
- If during a recording session the recording is not finished save the project. See the section on Saving a DDClip project.
- When you come back to do more recording open the project.
- When you click on the Record audio button you are required to enter a name. You can use the same name as was chosen at the beginning of the recording session. E.g. Aust.wav.
- DDClip will continue to automatically allocate the names of the Clips for you.
Aust03.wav Aust04.wav Aust05.wav - When the recording is finished you will have a number of Clips making up the recording session. These clips can be combined into one file ready for editing and programming.
- See the section Combining the Clips into one file.
- After pressing F12 you will be required to allocate a name for the file. It is at this point in the process that the name Aust.wav can be used. This will now become the name of the combined file. This is the file that you will open in FastEdit for editing.
Preparing for Recording
- Open DDClip.
- Click on the Record audio button.
- If the Record Audio: window appears, click the Ask Name before run box. Click on the Browse button.
- The File for recording window will appear. Select the drive/folder to store the recording. Give the recording a name. Click Save.
- Set the Device to the appropriate setting for analog recording.
- Set the Input Format to the required settings.
- In the Misc section of the Record Audio: window make sure the Volume Control, Synchronize Playback and Adjust DC offset boxes are unticked. Tick the Always on top box. Set the Rec Delay to 0.
- Drag the Record Audio window to a position on the screen that allows you to see the top track of the Project window.
- Do a level test for the recording.
- Click on the Record button. The computer is now recording.
- When you finish recording and want to pause/stop, click on the Stop button. (DO NOT click OK or Close. If you do you will lose the recording.)
- Click on the Insert button.
- Place the recording in one of the tracks.
- Click on the Clip you have just inserted. You can play this clip to check your recording.
- Record the next section of your recording.
- Click on the Insert button.
- Press Ctrl End. This will take you to the end of the Audio Track window.
- Place the new Clip.
- Repeat this process until the recording is complete.
NOTE: If you don't need to listen to the recording you can start and stop the recording as many times as needed without inserting. IMPORTANT: You must Insert the recording before you click on the OK or Close buttons. If you fail to do this you will lose the recording.
If you don't want to continually press Ctrl End each time you insert a clip you can set the length of the recording. The following instructions show you how to set the time of the recording.
- Click on the Set Size button.
- In the Project Limits pane change the length of the recording to the desired time then click OK.
Saving a DDClip project
If the recording job is not finished the recording project can be saved to allow you to return to recording at another time.
- Click on the Save project button.
- In the Save in: box select the Drive/Folder in which you want to save the file.
- Give the file a name and click the Save button.
- The Save Clip Collection As window will appear. Click Save.
Continuing with a recording
You can continue to record in a previously unfinished recording.
- Open DDClip.
- Open the Project you wish to continue recording in.
- Click on the Record audio button.
- When required to give a name use the same name you gave to the original recording. See the section Naming Convention for Files.
NOTE: DDClip will continue naming the Clips automatically.
Combining the Clips into one file
After the recording is finished all the clips can be combined into one file and edited in FastEdit.
- Make sure the Playback entire project button is clicked.
- Make sure the Record Audio window is closed.
- Press the F12 function key on the keyboard. The Export Wav window will appear.
- Select the desired drive/folder to save the file. Give the file a name and click Save.
NOTE: The original name for the recording can be used. See Naming Convention for Files.
- The Clip will now be combined into one file.
- Open FastEdit.
- Open the file. The file can now be edited in the normal way.

Gold Cup
Costa Rica advanced to the Final of the 2013 Cope Centroamericana on Friday night following a 1-0 win against El Salvador. Crew striker Jairo Arrieta started the match and played 65 minutes before being subbed off for Portland TImbers defender Rodney Wallace. Wallace scored the winner six minutes later to propel La Sele to the championship match.
Costa Rica will take on Honduras in the Final at the Estadio Nacional at 6:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.
Crew striker Jairo Arrieta and Costa Rica completed group play in the 2013 Copa Centroamericana Tuesday night with a 1-1 draw against Guatemala. Arrieta tallied his second goal of the tournament in the 12th minute to help La Sele finish at the top of Group A.
The Ticos will resume play in the semifinal of the tournament against El Salvador on Friday. Costa Rica previously claimed a spot in the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup with its 2-0 win over Nicaragua on Sunday. Cities and venues for the 2013 Gold Cup will be announced on Wednesday.
Costa Rica solidified its place in the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup with a 2-0 win against Nicaragua on Sunday night. Crew striker Jairo Arrieta entered the match as a 66th minute substitute on Sunday after providing the difference-maker in Friday's 1-0 victory over Belize.
With the win, La Sele sits atop Group A in Copa Centroamericano. The TIcos will complete group play Tuesday night against second-place Guatemala.
MATCH REPORT: Costa Rica 2 - Nicaragua 0
Costa Rica kicked off play in the 2013 Copa Centroamericano late Friday night, with Crew striker Jairo Arrieta providing the difference in the host country's 1-0 victory over Belize. Arrieta's 55th minute tally was his first goal for La Sele in five career caps.
The Ticos will resume play in the tournament on Sunday against Nicaragua. Copa Centroamericano runs until January 27 and the top five teams in the seven-team tournament qualify for the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup. However, Arrieta may not report to Crew training camp at that point as La Sele begins the Hexagonal round of 2014 World Cup Qualifying in Panama on February 6.

tif map file, autoassembly of image not working
2012년 4월 18일 수요일 오후 4:52
Good morning all.
I am looking to stitch together an 8 image map file. I had hoped I could use something simple like irfanview, but even their forum recommended this new image composite editor.
So, I got it all installed, selected the images that I'd scanned as tiff's, and I received a message that it could not be "assembled" together.
So.... how do I do this manually?
I wasn't specifically looking to have it assembled for me, automatically, because I have to remove boundaries, check placement, etc..... The original map was apparently copied onto 8 pages. I scanned all of them as tiff's.
This will wind up in AutoCAD Map3d, so I'm good doing it manually (my original idea).
TYIA..... seriously so.
모든 응답
2012년 4월 18일 수요일 오후 6:43
Ok.... I went back and cropped my images.
Because I have 8 images, in two rows, I was able to get the first 4 that would make up the top row, and saved those as a new image. I.e., it works.... cool, actually. I am impressed.
I then did the lower row, but it only took 3 of those 4 images. I saved those 3 as the stitched image. I then tried to do the 8th image with the lower row group-- two images-- and it still did not stitch them, saying it did not connect. I've done it on paper, so I know it works. I did however notice that the 8th image is only a very small portion that would go to the right end. Should I crop that to the smallest reasonable size, and then try again?
Next, I then tried to stitch the upper and lower rows together, and it doesn't take-- same error message as earlier-- edges do not match.
Again, I did it via paper, so I know it does..... how picky is this tool?
I am working with basic image editing tools. I.e., no photoshop, no illustrator. Just Paint, Irfanview, Picture Mgr, and Microsoft Office Document Imaging.
I went back, cropped the 8th image, tried that-- still, same error-- does not line up. I then tried resizing it, thinking I could get it to recognize that it needs to be in the far upper right of the primary, now stitched image. NADA..... grrrr......
I then tried the structured panorama-- still does not work. I can get it to see the image, but it does not let me manually locate it, in relation to the already stitched image.
If I could do this manually, at least get it to recognize the placement-- I'd be good to go.
The 8th image should go to the far, upper right of the stitched. I suppose I'd describe it as a little tabbed piece at the right end.
your helps would be appreciated.
TYIA-- again.

2012년 4월 20일 금요일 오후 4:27
Well, looking at other posts, seeing the types of questions asked, the one's responded to, and the ones not responded to, it appears I am not going to get my questions answered.
The next update you guys do updates with this new, and impressive program, please set it up to allow for manual alignment, and scaling of images. I have tried a few variations by manipulating images in other programs such as MS Office Picture Mgr, Paint, and Irfanview. Even with them, I am extremely limited in what I can do.
In pict. mgr, I even tried scaling the one image that would not work, and all ICE did was to blow it up, which made it a completely disproportionate image once the stitching operation was performed.
One guy on Irfanview's forum told me about a 3rd party program that would allow me to place the images into a desktop publishing app, scale and align them, doing what I'd originally hoped to obtain. Using that- I finally got what I wanted.
Once I realized what this app was, I also realized we already have one in Publisher, with Office 2007. So, I even tried MS Publisher, and the image tools were not allowing me to do what I needed.
While I really do like the auto-stitch work ICE does-- some more tools to deal with the not so obvious would make it even better still.
As our budget, and normal type of work (I work in engineering. Telling the boss that I need a photoeditor just garners laughs, and more questions than this is worth) does not justify for Photoshop, or Illustrator, this as a "Freeware" helps where smaller outfits like mine can benefit.

My project started from a commitment to peaceful happiness which led me to a belief that a non-violent attitude to the entire ecosystem is fundamental to life and design. I chose to recycle scrap from the textile industry. I worked with the ragged selvedge of woven woollen cloth, which is cut off at the loom and generally discarded. I developed a unique process to transform the waste into new kind of material, then let the unusual quality of the new material inspire suitable woven structures.
The methodology used in the practice was based on the principle of sustainability. For instance, with an awareness of energy and water consumption, I chose to use the original colours of the waste instead of changing their colours by dyeing or printing on top. In recognition of waste management, natural and synthetic materials were not mixed together. The process is environmentally friendly: only bio-degradable substances, like starch, were used.
I seriously thought about how my design can convey the notion of long-term contentment in a simple life. I decided to avoid unnecessary decoration and chose designs that show the intrinsic characteristics of the materials. Therapeutic quality was another important value added through my work, which invites one to touch and feel, and brings a smile to one's face.

For many of us, New Year's Eve is a time for rebirth and redirection for the coming year. Vis "What will I do differently and better in 2012?"
I have learned a great deal from reading the articles and comments posted in this forum over the past 2 months. My decision to leave AA has been validated in numerous ways, but now I feel like an arm-chair quarterback on a Monday morning discussing what should have been done in the NFL during Sunday's games.
While the forum information is useful, I am wondering what I am going to DO with it in 2012?
Any suggestions for 2012 Resolutions to impede the current AA movement in our local communities? What can I be doing specifically to obstruct the continued AA religious movement growth in 2012 besides posting to this blog which, as far as I can see, accomplishes little to stop anything?
(PS: This is a legitimate question. Please save the person attacks…or else I'd be better off going to a meeting and discussing Bill's Ouija board and LSD use. )
Happy New Year to All!
Well, if I were you, I'd try to use your medical degree or relationships with other docs to spread information. I suspect your state licensing board has some type of physician's assistance or physicians helping physicians program. Most likely that board is dominated by 12 step philosophy. I would check it out and see if you could do anything there to spread the message. Maybe you could even volunteer to sit on some board. Also, I was only half joking last week when I suggested you pursue the addictionologist certificate. I'm totally ignorant about how much time and money it would cost, and obviously I don't know the details of your work schedule. But I think you should definitely look into it to see what it entails. If you got that certificate, you'd be in a more powerful position to spread the word. Those are just a few of my thoughts.
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
Sorry for the language, I use it to make a point.
So I could get certified in addictionology?
Do doctors still abide by the Hippocratic oath?
Just kidding about the oath thing, there are unethical folks all around us, unfortunately.

I'm not sure. I think you have to be a MD for what I was thinking. But I'm sure you could take some classes and get some type of professional substance abuse licence. As an accountant, I assume you have a BA or its equivalent. But you probably need at least a master's in counseling or some shit. I think for an addictionologist certificate you need an MD, but I don't know.
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
Damn, ruined my resolution. Anyway it was a joke about getting certified as an addictionologist.
Yes, I have BSBA in accounting. I also have a Ph.D. in substance abuse, however, that honor was not bestowed upon me by an accredited university if you know what I mean.

Understanding Addictionology
Addictionology is a self-recognized sub-specialty requiring matriculation through specific certification-based Continuing Medical Education (CME) courses. As the concept of addiction as a social plague is a 20th century phenomenon, the history, research and literature on this field of healthcare is historically limited but expanding rapidly. Addictionology has been spurred by new scientific and socio-cultural research, the development of scientifically based treatment modalities, the medicalization of addiction, a growing global anti-prohibition stance, and modernized public healthcare policies. These events have allowed for new paradigms to improve the treatment of addiction in the 21st century. Still, both the profession and the disease carry an intractable historical stigma and conflicting government interests. In addition few physicians are willing to work in this "risky business," and the patients who are in the most need are also demographically less likely to gain treatment access. "

Gotcha. Perhaps you might want to contact Dr. Stanton Peele about suggestions. Let him know you are a M.D. interested in perhaps doing something to help. I'm sure he'd respond. He's very anti AA. Just Google him and you'll see. What would be really badass is if you could help start a "Silkworthless Society" composed of physicians opposed to the 12 Step industry. The name is derived from Dr. W.D. Silkworth, who was the doc who gave Bill W. the hallucinogenic drugs that helped Bill see God. He also wrote "The Doctor's Opinion" in the Big Book.

I really like the tone of your blog post. Even though there is benefit to vent for xAA members. I think many of us are beginning to realize that they would be really helpful is to be active in making a difference. Even though there are those like Stanton Peele that write a lot on the topic. When I e-mailed him I did not get a response as far as activism went in dealing with the courts and constitutional issues.
But it is still worth a try to light a fire under him to be even more active.I firmly believe there is so much we can do to make a difference. Contacting are Representatives, Drug Courts and their Associations,Department of Corrections, helping in starting more SMART meetings or being online facilitators. SMART is looking for more volunteers interested in researching, administrative etc. They need help to grow even more. Get the word out to prisoners or others in the criminal justice system they have rights to choice. There is much we can do. One thing I have learned in my short couple of years into this research and activism is that there is allot of apathy out there. I have lost count of how many people both in the public and in government are clueless to these matters. I think even picketing in front of court houses etc and getting TV coverage would be great. There really is so much we could do.
People can e-mail judges, Drug Court Managers,Probation Officers and heads of Department of Corrections and contacting child advocacy groups to notify the mixing of sex offenders and minors in the same meetings. We might even look at making legislative changes as well.
Writing on the Blogs about these matters inform people coming to them is helpful. We have the power to expose the governments that are against working with alternatives. Gosh I could go on and on.

First, just a quick nod to the fact that the AA ThinkSpeak is quite prevalent. We all know that. In discussing these matters with peers I would keep that fact in mind. I intend to discuss some of these matters with my licensing board, but I will tread lightly at first.
If one is in the medical profession, it might be helpful to have a dialogue with Dr. Marlowe at the National Association of Drug Court Professionals. Dr. Marlowe's bio and contact info is at the National Drug Court blogspot.

So............$2,600 that might be reimbursed by an employer, at worst a tax write off if self-employed, two days in sin city and a month in your pajamas and presto, a C.Ad certificate to hang on the Ego Wall. This IS a great country.
I'm back to my original question of can I get certified. This covers all addictions? Hmmmm.

We expect medicine practice in the US to be legit. The deafening silence of the medical, scientific, and academic community regarding the actions of the recovery industry is inexcusable.
People are dying because of the misinformation and disinformation that the AA faith and the recovery industry promotes as medical fact. Information that is neither medical nor fact.
I have read reports that up to 80% of emergency room visits are drug and alcohol related. I place a lot of the blame for this, and the continuing substance abuse problem in the US, on the AA faith and the recovery industry. Other countries that do not promote the faulty disease model of addiction do not have the substance abuse problem the US does.
According to Baldwin Research, there are more recovering alcoholics in Los Angeles than in the continent of Europe. I think this entire problem can be traced to how the medical community has handled it, by the systematic dumping of people, many with comorbid mental conditions into AA.
The deaths that have been caused by the unquestionable AA faith and recovery industry in the US should more rightly be called the American Holocaust.
It is good you point out that many that are dumped unto AA having comorbid mental conditions. Some are quite serious like schizophrenics and sociopaths. This bothers bothers me a great deal for those that are victims of this practice - the government and GSO AA to blame.

Hello All, I haven't posted here in awhile. I applaud the people on this post. I can sense from alot of the info that you guys offer is done with alot of zeal and thorough research. I find it very helpful for myself. It reaffirms alot of the thoughts that I have had trying to figure out what to do when I was still in AA. Approx. 16 years of that shit!! It damn near killed me and I can state my case quite effectively now,as to how it did. I won't go into all of the details but most of you know,because here we are!! The clarity is just incredible and I want to thank all of you in helping me get a foothold again. It's amazing how refreshing common sense is ya? The facts are we are dealing with a monster with very powerful talons dug firmly into the flesh of our society. This monster prays upon people at their most vulnerable times. Another fact is that society in general doesn't want to deal with people that are having problems with addictive behaviors for very long. Patience wears thin very quickly. So in order to get us out of the way the question is asked what do we do with these folks? " Hey I know!! Lets send them to AA they will take anyone"!! It's like that cereal commercial " Hey let's get Mikey he'll eat anything". So off we go. It works for awhile. It feels good just to stop drinking or using agreed? So the assumption is made that hey this AA thing really works. Atta boy keep going to meetings and everything will be just fine. All of us here know what comes next. Once the real AA exposes itself it can and is for many, quite devastating, even deadly. But trying to explain this to someone or a group is often met with dismissal. The true victories will come with "The quiet work". One person at a time. No preachy bullshit,just a demonstration of a life reclaimed. We all have circle of friends that maybe could benefit from our experience. But we must be very careful not to become the zealots ourselves. I know that there is a sense of urgency. I feel it too. I will email some people in the media who promote 12 step programs and when circumstances dictate I will respond with my real life experience,not just data. I am experiencing some of the most joyful times of my life now. Clear concise thinking. Ready for the show everyday!! Happy New Year Everyone!!
Yours is an excellent post as well.
Yes, Welcome Back to the Show That Never Ends (ELP). An it IS quite a show.

Does anyone know if he was certified by a weekend in Vegas?
That may be a fact worth publicizing, particularly to the families of two of the people he killed on national television, Mike Starr and Jeff Conaway.
Aren't there different types of programs though? I really don't know. I assume the deal in Vegas is not the only program of its kind. Aren't there any that require an MD?
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
Here are my thoughts:
I'm no doctor, but it seems addictionology is worthless when it comes to purely behavioral counseling. The only way a person will voluntarily stop using is if they want it bad enough. That is both a necessary and sufficent condition. If they really want it, it's simple enough. Just stop poising yourself. If they don't want it, they'll pick up again. All a doc can do from that standpoint is tell the patient what the booze/drugs are doing to the body.
Now, there is also a medical aspect, as distinguished from the behavioral (although the two are probably related). From the purely medical standpoint, a doc can help the patient detox safely. Moreover, a doc can write prescriptions for drugs such as Naltrexone, Suboxone, etc. I don't think a non-MD can do any of that. Moreover, I think chemical dependency is probably related to certain aspects of brain chemistry, physiology, and genetics. For example, deficient dopamine might have something to do with it. I realize the forgoing might not be the exact medical terms, but that is the general idea of what I'm talking about. I think valuable research can be done in this regard. However, I don't see non-MD chiropractors doing anything in that respect. I'm sure they are not even qualified to read brain scans and interpret the type of data such studies entail. Thus, I do think there might be something to be said for addictionology, but most certainly not as practiced by chiros or other practitioners of alternative medicine. Does that make sense?
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
Also, we need to be careful what we wish for is this forum....i.e., do we really want to see SMART recovery (a legitimate organization) flooded with the misfits and felons that currently attend AA?????????
That's a good point. Honestly, I don't care where people actually go to get their slips signed. I'm just concerned about protecting Constitutional rights. Moreover, I think those slip signers who would choose SMART over AA are probably more serious than many of their counterparts. The reason I say that is because going to SMART typically requires more effort. Mainly, there are AA meetings everywhere, and getting a slip signed is easy. So if all you care about is pleasing the courts, going to AA is probably the most convenient way to knock off the requirement. On the other hand, if someone is willing to go out of his way to attend a recovery meeting that is more congruent with his philosophy or that he finds more effective, then he's probably at least somewhat serious about getting something out of it besides documentation that he showed up. Those are the type of people I would want in my group. So I'm OK with it if someone has to drive a few extra miles to go to SMART rather than AA. It's probably a good thing in some respects. However, what a person should not have to do is fight with the court system in order to have the option.
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
In our efforts to protect peoples constitutional rights , if we are successful it would be a nice problem to have more court attendees at SMART Meetings. I think in reality the courts are going to need to step up to the plate and actually have special 'SMART' meetings. They might have to train or pay to have alternatives available for their population. Also like Pennywise said,you would most likely see people who care about turning their life around. Also part of AA's security problem is that pretty much anything goes at meetings. Not so at SMART,very strict in comparison in dealing with poor behavior. Also SMART does not encourage people to exchange phone #'s and their are no sponsors. So people can go to a meeting and go home and that's that. Also I would like to see more courts allow online meetings instead of mandated face to face meetings. It has many positives!

Copy-paste from my post at leaving aa..
Off my list of resolutions…
Fear of trusting my own thoughts
Obsessively searching for character defects
Denying justifiable anger
Thinking everything is my fault
Believing that God will only help me if I follow a set list
Accepting what I know to not be true (for me)
On my list of resolutions…
Un-diagnosing myself
Looking at the positives
Accepting my imperfections
Taking care of myself
Trusting in God but not needing any promises as proof
Moving on!
I do want to "do something" that will help, just need ideas. I just jumped the AA ship recently.

Thieves Steal, Vandalize Campaign Signs on Election Eve
By: Homa Bash
Updated: November 5, 2012
Come the day before election day, and that's no longer the case, after someone stole dozens of signs right out of people's front yards.
"I had one here, one over there, another one there...all taken," said resident Marie Nala.
Sign after sign in the neighborhood are now gone, thanks to thieves with a penchant for politics.
"I hope to God whoever did it, I hope they realize they did wrong," Nala said.
And they're not discriminating either -- a home on Elmwood now boasts a sign in place of the one in support of the president.
It reads "Someone took my Obama sign, wanted it for his yard, I guess."
The homeowner behind the sign, John Powell, said he wanted to put a lighter spin on a serious issue.
"I wanted it to be a humorous response to what I do see as intolerance toward different perspectives by the majority," he explained.
And those campaign signs aren't the only thing vandals are messing with on election eve.
On Buffalo Gap Rd., a huge Romney-Ryan sign was spray-painted with the words "Vote Obama" for everyone to see.
"I gotta figure this was someone from out of town," said Kyle McAllister of the Taylor County Republican Party. "Because people in Taylor County are pretty cool and even if we disagree politically, we don't vandalize property."
For Marie Nala, it's a petty crime that hits close to home.
"My husband served in the United States Air Force for 26 years and my sons are in the military now and I have a right to vote, for whoever I want to," she said.
Nala came home to find three signs taken out of her yard over the weekend and several of her neighbors fared the same fate.
While she was quick to replace it, she leaves the thieves with one message:
"Just stop it, we have one more day, just stop!"

Thomas Roach, former Ulster County Legislature chairman and Social Services commissioner, recalled as 'inspiration to us all'
Thomas W. Roach Jr., a former Ulster County Social Services commissioner and Legislature chairman, was remembered on Thursday as a compassionate public servant who worked tirelessly to help the less-fortunate and protect children in need.
Roach, who led the Legislature from 1980 to 1983 and the Department of Social Services from 1985 to 1997, died Wednesday at Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie.
The longtime New Paltz resident was 81.
Roach served as a county lawmaker from 1974 to 1983, representing New Paltz, and was the Legislature's Republican majority leader in 1979, just before becoming chairman.
"Chairman Roach served the people of Ulster County with distinction for over 50 years of public and private service," current Legislature Chairwoman Terry Bernardo, R-Accord, said in a prepared statement issued Thursday. "He put his energy and efforts to improving the lives of the most needy individuals of Ulster County. He was an inspiration to us all."
Peter Savago, a former Legislature chairman and a former head of the county GOP Committee, said: "Tom was a true friend and trusted colleague. Our children grew up together and we worked together in business and government. Ulster County is a better place because of his life's work."
In 1980, as the new chairman of the county Legislature, Roach traveled to Germany in an attempt to attract businesses to the county.
In 1989, as Social Services commissioner, he was honored by the St. Cabrini Home for his efforts on behalf of human services and for his work to identify the needs of youths facing problems with drugs, abuse and dysfunctional family lives.
And in 1996, Roach was tapped by then-Gov. George Pataki to sit on the Task Force to Restructure Employment, Health and Social Services.
Glenn Decker, who followed Roach as Social Services commissioner, said on Thursday that although Roach was older, "I kind of grew up with him." Continued...
"I've known him all my life. He was always there — always a part of life of New Paltz," Decker said,
"My great pleasure of knowing him was that, as I grew professionally, he was a part of that life also," Decker added. "He lived a full life. He was never inactive, he was always active."
State Assemblyman Kevin Cahill, a former county legislator, said in a press release: "In the modern history of Ulster County government, there was no individual with more compassion, practical know how and political skill than Thomas Roach. ... Tom constantly sought ways to help the poor in our community lift themselves up by their bootstraps, providing shelter for the homeless, comfort for the sick and nourishment for the hungry, all while assuring their dignity. His leadership in transforming the county Legislature to a modern governing body and, later, in literally building the social safety net in our county is unparalleled."
Cahill, D-Kingston, called Roach "a good friend" who "provided wise counsel to me and others without regard to political affiliation, so long as it was to help those in need."
Ulster County Executive Michael Hein said he was "deeply saddened at of the loss of Tom Roach."
"He was a dedicated public servant to the people of Ulster County, a strong leader and a compassionate human being," Hein said in a prepared statement on Thursday. "I was honored to witness the results of his humanity in dealing with those less fortunate in our community, but most of all, I am proud to have called him a friend."
Deputy County Executive Robert Sudlow said he worked in the county Probation Department when Roach was a legislator and chairman.
"I was proud to say I worked in one of the county departments while he was chairman," Sudlow said. "He was recognized not only locally, but also on the state level."
After his Ulster County government service, Roach became director of the Albany-based William B. Hoyt Children and Family Trust Fund.
"Just as he did here at home, Tom developed a reputation in Albany as a caring, dedicated and tenacious protector of children in their greatest moments of distress," Cahill said. Continued...
Ulster County Legislator Jeanette Provenzano recalled Roach "as a well-respected gentleman."
"I couldn't think of a negative think in remembering him," the Kingston Democrat said. "He was well respected, well regarded and did an incredible job while he was (Social Services) commissioner."
Roach worked for 30 years as a life insurance agent, financial planning agent and manager for several insurance companies.
After retiring as county Social Services commissioner in 1997, he served on the boards of the Ulster County Industrial Development Agency, the Mid-Hudson Family Health Institute, the state Office of Children and Family Services, the Ulster County Chapter of the American Cancer Society, the United Way's Emergency Food and Shelter Program and the Children's Annex.
He is survived by his wife, Audrey; six children; 18 grandchildren and a great-grandson; three sisters and two brothers; and many nieces and nephews.
One daughter died previously.
Calling hours will be 3 to 7 p.m. Sunday at the Copeland Funeral Home, Inc., 162 S. Putt Corners Road, New Paltz. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated by the Rev. John Roach at 11 a.m. Monday at St. Joseph's Church, 34 S. Chestnut St., New Paltz.
Cremation will follow.
