A Paradigm of Compatibility
In today's video, Brian McLaren explains his own comfort with accepting Scripture and evolution, seeing the process of evolution as a wonderful opportunity for adaptation, growth, and development and a reflection of God's glory.
From the Dust: Framing the Debate
So why are Christians nervous about evolution and why do we even use a phrase like the 'e' word? The word itself has a negative connotation in many groups.
Saturday Sermon: "Science vs. Faith: A False Dichotomy?"
If God has indeed created all things, pure scientific truth should never be a "problematic thing" for Christians. If anything, scientific truth enriches the faith as it reveals his majesty and provides Christians with a deeper understanding of God.
Understanding the Humanity of Jesus
The first question for Wright is, "What do you think is the biggest misunderstanding that western 21st century evangelicals have about Jesus, and how does it stunt their understanding and witness?"
You Are the Sun
As a scientist, I find this song particularly compelling because not only is the science on which the song draws completely accurate, but the scientific understanding of the nature of the physical sun and moon is critical to how Groves plays out the metaphor.

Here is a chart of the download usage statistics for the month of Aug:
The X-axis is the number of times an individual video has been downloaded. The pink (barely visible) line is the number of videos that have had that number of downloads. The dark blue line is the sum of downloads at that level. The area under the blue line represents the amount of bandwidth used.
The graph shows that there are a large number of videos getting a few downloads and a few videos getting lots of downloads. The amount of bandwidth used by videos that get less than around 200 downloads per month are (by me eyeballing it) causing two-thirds of the bandwidth usage.
To me, this means that bittorrent is not a good candidate for video distribution in our case since there are lots of files getting few downloads causing the bulk of the bandwidth usage.
I hope this helps.

TUESDAY, Oct. 2 (HealthDay News) -- New research confirms suspicions that people with rheumatoid arthritis are at somewhat higher risk of developing blood clots in their veins in the decade after diagnosis.
The risk appears to be greater during hospitalization, as it is within the general population, the Swedish researchers added.
The study, published in the Oct. 3 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, doesn't prove that rheumatoid arthritis directly increases the likelihood of blood clots.
Still, it provides "strong evidence that there is a connection between rheumatoid arthritis and blood clots, and that something related to rheumatoid arthritis -- inflammation, treatment, other factors -- is increasing the risk of blood clots," said study author Dr. Marie Holmqvist, a postdoctoral researcher at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.
Rheumatoid arthritis is different from osteoarthritis, the arthritis associated with wear-and-tear and aging. Rheumatoid arthritis frequently starts between the ages of 25 and 55, and causes inflammation in the joints, resulting in swelling, stiffness, pain and reduced joint function.
Previous research has suggested a link between rheumatoid arthritis and blood clots known as deep vein thrombosis, a clot usually located in the leg or thigh. If the clot travels to the lung, it is called a pulmonary embolism. The clots can lead to heart attack and stroke.
In the new study, researchers sought to better understand the extra risk and determine whether it goes up when patients are hospitalized. They tracked more than 45,000 people in Sweden with rheumatoid arthritis and similar people without the disease from 1997 to 2010.
Of the nearly 38,000 patients who had the most doctor visits for the condition, 2.2 percent suffered from diagnosed blood clots. The number was half that -- 1.1 percent -- among the people without the condition.
"Few individuals experienced a blood clot, so rheumatoid arthritis patients in general shouldn't fear blood clots in their everyday life," Holmqvist said.
Blood clots in both groups were more common in the first year after hospitalization, and the rates were similar in those with rheumatoid arthritis and those without during that year.
If it's true that rheumatoid arthritis causes blood clots, Holmqvist said, it may have something to do with the inflammation that afflicts those with the condition or their treatment.
Dr. Daniel Solomon, chief of clinical sciences in rheumatology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, said other factors increasing the risk could include genes, exposure to tobacco and the inactivity that's more common in patients with moderate or severe rheumatoid arthritis. For now, however, it's not clear what's going on.
Solomon praised the study and said it adds to existing knowledge about the risk of blood clots in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Along with other studies, it provides more knowledge about vascular problems -- medical conditions that clog blood vessels -- in these patients, he said.
"While most of these patients will not experience a blood clot, a significant minority will over their lifetime," he said. "Since we do not have a clear strategy for managing this risk, it is too early to determine whether worrying about it is useful. But providers and patients should receive education about it."

The number of lightning-related injuries and fatalities has been rising in recent weeks as stormy weather sweeps across the United States.
Ten spectators were struck by lightning Sunday in Long Pond, Pa., at the NASCAR race at Pocono Raceway, leaving one man dead, a track official said. Another man died in Florida Monday after being hit by lightning as he sought shelter from an oncoming storm, local media reported.
According to the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, an average of 54 people are killed by lightning in the United States each year. The peak month is July, with an average of 16 deaths, and June and August see about 12 deaths each.
So far this year, 20 lightning-related deaths have been recorded, including the latest two fatalities -- a figure that's below average for this time of year. Texas has had the most lightning-related deaths so far in 2012, with three people killed across the state.
Data shows that 85 percent of lightning strike victims yearly are men. At least 60 percent of those killed are between the ages of 40 and 69, and the day of the week when most people are killed by lightning is Saturday.
If you are making outdoor plans, or if you're caught in severe weather while outside, you should have a plan to protect yourself and your family. Here are some lightning safety tips:
-- If you can hear thunder, you're close enough to be struck. Seek a sturdy shelter immediately.
-- If you find yourself caught in a thunderstorm in an open area, do not allow yourself to be the tallest object.
-- Avoid tall trees, towers, utility poles, water, and any metal objects.
-- Stay away from windows and don't use corded phones if inside during a thunderstorm.

We are showing you the Japanese version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Photos: Paolo Ciaberta | Words: Rohan Dubash
Photographer Paolo Ciaberta witnesses Aldo Gios re-building the legendary blue machine ridden to victory in the 1977 edition of Paris-Roubaix by Roger de Vlaeminck. Rohan Dubash casts his expert eye over the components.
Cinelli's 1A stem is a classic use of forged alloy, an item of pure elegance and simplicity and a world apart from today's industrial (but far more practical) Ahead-compatible offerings. The solid construction allowed manufacturers to get creative and personalise the riders' bikes.
No messing here: the inner chainring is the beefier Record version with additional braces. The outer, however, has not escaped the pantographer's deft touch. The GT logo can be seen clearly, and small, subtle grooves have been milled to shave grams without reducing rigidity. The 'over the top' cable guide for the rear derailleur can also be seen which, despite being awkward to clean, did provide a smooth route for the inner wire.
The Record side-pull brake callipers are no match for modern dual-pivot designs, but in De Vlaeminck's day these were the best brakes money could buy. They were made from top quality alloys and featured an effective quick release mechanism, easy-to-use brake cable adjuster and wheel guides on the brake shoes to assist in rapid wheel changes.
A solitary chrome steel bottle cage together with an original Brooklyn team water bottle can also be seen. Hydration was still something that many riders simply did not understand and a single fitting was common on most pros' bikes. Despite the lack of importance certain riders placed on regular fluid intake, steel bottle cages were favoured by most for their durability, which was especially appropriate in races such as Paris-Roubaix.
Tubular tyres were still developing in the late 70s and the Italian artisans at Clement were probably responsible for some of the finest (and weirdest) products to grace our rims. The tyre featured here is a Clement Grinta that was developed as a special wet weather tyre - they even featured little umbrella graphics for emphasis. The tread pattern is interesting, especially when you consider tyre engineers had no CAD systems to help them during the design process.

Wildfire risk remains high in Southwest Fla.
The little bit of rain that fell Thursday morning did nothing to ease the threat of wildfires across Southwest Florida.
Sarasota County reached 600 on the Keetch-Byram Drought Index, which measures moisture levels in the soil. The index ranges from zero to 800, with the latter being the most dry. An estimated 60 percent of Sarasota County is at a 600 or higher, according to the Florida Forest Service. Only Broward, Manatee and Miami-Dade counties registered higher index scores than Sarasota.

I fear that I did not sign on to Na NoWri Mo in the correct place. I think I inadvertantly hit a wrong key yesterday as I am not seeing the site come up when I start to blog about it. At the risk of continuing to write on the wrong blog and be discounted I wanted to see if I might get some help. i did start to blog yesterday, worked for 7 hours and then went on today...however can you tell me if I am in the correct spot. And if not...can you help me to get the the correct spot? I am sorry..I am so new at this.
At the beginnings of She Writes, I founded the "NanoWriMo"-group (link). It now has ca. 345 members.
And since becoming pregnant with my 2nd child, I have tried to find out from SheWrites, how to *transfer* the group to someone else, because I cannot keep up with it nor moderate it, while taking care of 2 children plus writing on a novel and nonfiction book.
I have found women who help me out approving new members, but I would like to really hand the group over to one of them, so that I return to being a normal "member" there.
Any help?
My emails about that have remained unanswered and I really don't want to delete the group by accident.
I posted about a writers' conference in the Southern Writers group and got told to post it to the "conferences" site on She Writes. Ill be damned if I can find such a site. I have searched, I have looked at the site index, and it's nowhere to be found. I asked on Southern Writers and got nada responses.
How about someone actually giving me a link to the place so I can quit being frustrated?
Hi: I'm trying to imbed the she writes code onto my blog page and it says it has invalid characters. Are there any instructions on how to do this? Thanks!
Hello I would like to leave the She Writes community how do I do that? It isn't personal...I just don't really use this site much and don't want to receive messages anymore and such.
I had a quick question to ask...when I post a blog and I want to share it with my friends on facebook how do I do it? If possible I would like to share my blogs on their facebook wall, and it's not showing there, and it wont allow me to share it with others! When I posted my blog it went to my facebook page and no one elses....what am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help! Elaina Skyewing
I love She Writes! I have only been a member for a short while; but, I love it!
Quick issue...
I set up a Group on the site, "Choreopoem Collaborators", and it promptly notified me that the Group is pending approval. However, when I checked my page under the "My Groups" feature, it was not listed. Is this because it is still pending approval?
Thanks a million!
I am brand new to "She Writes." How do I upload a photo to my profile?
I am somewhat new here and I have a question I have not been able to find an answer for. I follow several members blogs and I have seen the SheWrites badge on their blogs. How do I go about putting my badge on my blog?
Thank you!

Hi Julia,

It may not be wedding season, but it feels like I've been seeing stuff related to matrimony all over the Internet lately. From Anne Hathaway to bridezillas, from gory photos to touching ones, everyone is in the mood to talk about getting hitched.
I also find it funny that I wrote three of those posts, since I am happily and perpetually single. Nonetheless, I love looking at other people's wedding photos and being happy for them, even if they're perfect strangers on the Internet. One particular wedding theme I enjoy is geeky ceremonies, and we have a gallery of some of the best nerd wedding rings here!
Who would ever say no to an engagement ring in a Harry Potter book? (Probably everyone but nerds like me.) I may not be getting hitched any time soon, but it's fun to take a peek into the romantic lives of others! Head on over to the source to see even more geekery. [via Buzzfeed]
Which of these is coolest?

Fey was taking sincere notes during her English class, she hung onto every word her professor said until she fell down onto the ground. It was him. For a long time now, the same guy kept bullying her, making her cry literally every single day. The sweet-faced girl looked at Leonardo with tear-filled eyes. Leonardo just put a blank face and said "I'm borrowing these notes." People were now staring, and the professor did nothing to stop Leonardo from harassing Fey. Fey, in turn, wiped her eyes with the sleeves of her cat sweatshirt and stood up. She picked up her chair and sat down on it and got a new sheet of paper from her binder. She couldn't help but feel two tear drops fall onto the paper, leaving blotches on the lined paper. Her pale trembling hands picked up a pencil and she started scribbling down notes furiously.
After the class, she quickly packed up and hurried away from the class, not wanting to talk or see Leonardo. He gave off an odd vibe, and wasn't like the other kids around here. "Ring Ring." Her cellphone buzzed, and she opened it to see a text message from a long time friend named Kyle. Instantly her face broke out into a smile and she read the text.
"Hey Fey! Do you want to meet up sometime this break?" the text message read. Fey quickly typed in: "Sure! I'll see you in 5 days!"
With a slight smile, she put the phone into her bag and hurried along.

The subject of marriage equality was thrust into the limelight recently with both the president and vice president voicing support of same-sex marriage. So it's fitting that the theme for the 2012 PrideFest is "Changing Minds Together."
"It helps that we have the support of the two highest positions in our country," said Justin DeVries, president of the Capital City Pride board. "I think with more people like them standing up for marriage equality, there's a greater chance of all us being treated equally. It also helps some of the people that are struggling with coming out and being who they are."
The 2012 PrideFest will take place Friday through Sunday in the East Village. It's a weekend to bring together members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities, as well as allies .
"It's just a nice weekend that everybody in the community shows togetherness," DeVries said. "We all come from all walks and parts of life, and there are people you don't see on a regular basis." DeVries has served as president of the Capital City Pride board for five years, four as president. During this time, he's seen the event grow exponentially, in part due to a larger budget. That larger budget has been generated due to the addition of corporate sponsors, including local banks, retailers and insurance companies. Under DeVries' watch, the event also has expanded in length and attendance.
"The event used to average 6,000 people," DeVries said. "It was a one-day event that was held at Simon Estes Amphitheater. Last year we had 20,000 people attend. We've basically quadrupled our numbers by bringing in better entertainment than we've had years previous."
Among the bigger names in entertainment this year is "The Voice" contestant Beverly McClellan, who sang and performed her way to the final four as a part of Christina Aguilera's team of mentees. This will be McClellan's first Iowa performance, and DeVries is hoping this will draw people to push attendance to an all-time high. The conclusion of PrideFest this year will be bittersweet for DeVries, who is resigning as president of the Capital City Pride board at the end of the year. However, he feels satisfaction in knowing he played a part in expanding the footprint of the annual event.
"I'm excited to leave with a great feeling that I brought our pride celebration to the place where it is today," DeVries said. "It's not a small rinky-dink one-day event anymore; we can compare ourselves to the others in the Midwest. We're not going to be as big as Chicago or Minneapolis, but we're standing our ground."
1. Take on the scavenger hunt
Grab a partner, pull out your smartphone and peruse for clues in the East Village at 6 p.m. Friday. Past clues have led participants on a whirlwind trip to area businesses or landmarks, where the team must take a photo of the correct answer. The first team to finish and have all the right answers wins. The event starts at The Blazing Saddle, 416 E. Fifth St.
2. See 'Voice' contestant Beverly McClellen
Openly gay blues-rock singer Beverly McClellen finished in the top four of the first season of "The Voice," a reality singing competition featuring spinning chairs and celebrity coaches. Although known for her exuberant stage presence, McClellan also plays piano, guitar, trumpet, French horn, mandolin, ukulele, bass guitar, djembe, and a wide variety of drums and percussion.
3. Show pride at Adventureland

More than 18 million people have viewed a YouTube video of Wahls, a product of two moms, as he addressed Iowa lawmakers urging them to vote against a resolution that would define marriage as between a man and a woman.

Clamp Meter Transmits Readings to FLIR IR Cameras
MeterLink is a new technology that wirelessly connects FLIR infrared cameras to Extech meters via Bluetooth to accelerate and simplify inspections. During infrared inspections of electrical components, users can transmit key electrical readings such as current or voltage from an Extech EX845 clamp meter directly to a FLIR infrared camera. MeterLink instantly imprints the electrical readings onto a related infrared image not only adding time-savings, but also ensuring accurate, coordinated documentation for PdM inspection reports.The Extech EX845 1000A clamp meter is designed to deliver safety and versatility. The EX845's advanced True RMS meter functions include AC/DC current, voltage, resistance, capacitance, frequency, infrared and contact temperature, diode-test, and continuity check. The fast-responding EX845's peak hold function captures inrush currents and transients.
The bright 4-digit, 4,000 count backlit display is complemented by several one-button functions including data hold, min/max, and selectable auto- or manual-ranging. The large 1.7 inches (43mm) jaw opening handles conductors up to 750MCM or multiple conductors such as two 500MCM. For quick, point and shoot temperature readings, the patented, non-contact IR thermometer with laser pointer is useful for fast hot-spot detection.

Padded Storage
By DB
from Buffalo, NY
About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about One Step Ahead Padded Storage Seat 2-Pack:
I used this product in our living room to have a place to put the toys away after our daughter goes to bed that match our existing decor. Looks great in the space! Was very easy to assemble and the price was reasonable for what you got. I will definitely order more down the road.
Tidy and Decorative

About Me Budget Shopper
this product is great to store baby's toys (and mom and dad's shoes!). My one-yr old can open them up on his own to take out his toys. We also use this for him to climb on (when they are closed). They are sturdy, yet soft enough to climb on (instead of our coffee table). I bought 2 pair... and will be buying more! A great value for the money!
Exactly what I was looking for
By DubiMom
from Florida
About Me High-end Shopper
Love these storage bins! we're using them as seats for our kids' ( 4 and 2 years) activity table. They're a perfect place to "hide" messy toys and they're surprisingly sturdy although they are made with "soft" materials. I'm always afraid my active 2 year old will be bumping himself with furniture edges and these are safe to use for playtime. The colors are also a perfect alternative to the colorful kid stuff.
By Nana and Chi Lover
from Fort Worth, TX
Very nice and useful!
really unusual and good looking!
By Kate
from StL MO
these are wonderful because they look nice, hold the toys, a resting place for your feet by the couch, a mini-table for after-kid hours, and they can be assembled into funky shapes. the only thing to know is that the covers don't replaced with "great ease;" they aren't like a plastic tub for example that crisply snaps on. Doesn't mean they aren't great boxes, just something to know
love these
By love this site
from Ma
Love these storage/chairs for the kids toys. They are so easy to put together and they look great in any room and they hide the toys that you just can not find any good place to put. And the kids can sit on them and they are really sturdy
Great storage
By Julie
from Brooklyn, NY
Got these boxes about a week ago and I was pleasantly surpised at how much they fit. They don't look too large but they fit my sons collection of cars and small balls very nicely. The padded lids are nice because it gives him an extra space to sit down if he wanted to. They look great with the collapsible toy box that we already have.

Love this product!
By Storage junkie
from Wisconsin
I love these so much I bought two more! The have a lot of room inside to store all the toys, they look great, and they fit together like a puzzle, so they don't take up so much room. Also, the kids can sit/stand on them and they don't collapse.
Had to send them back!
By Andrea
from Maryland
The chairs themselves seemed sturdy so I was really disappointed to see the lids to both of them pulling apart at the seams when I set them up for the first time.
Very good buy!
By Busy mom of 6
from Ohio
My kids love and use them, both as seats and storage. Only con is the zipper is on the bottom and that worries me they may scratch the wood floors if the kids are sliding them. Very sturdy and have so far held up to daily use by 6 kids under 8 yrs old.

smart and sturdy
By chris
from NJ
got these seats for the fact that it folds flat. I take care of five kids including my sister's for 4 days out of five. I have what u would call OCD(obsessive compulsive disorder), can't use anything that does not fold for storage when not in use. I am very picky about the quality of the products that I use (rather pay more for quality). I sat on these seats with no problem. I am 175lbs. very pleased with the fact that these does not scratch my hard wood floors. highly recommended for any room. I never write reviews on the products but decided that I was very happy about this one.
love this product
By Roma
from Phila., PA
kids toys fit in perfectly and easy for them to pull out yet strong enough for the kids to stand on.
Really like these, good capacity
By nolasmama
from Denver, CO
Love these! I mostly use them for storage, not a seat, but kid will be climbing and sitting on them in no time. Good capacity for smaller toys/animals. Nice colors, goes well in my house. Got one for up and one for down.
Nice but small
By MomInHHI
from Hilton Head, SC
This is a great set of two toy boxes. They look like ottomans or footstools. However, it is difficult to tell from the picture that they are very small. They are sturdy, and they look nice in our playroom. I just wish they had larger sizes to throw in, too.
Perfect for hiding toys
By Toga Mommy
from NY
Love these! I just ordered my second set. The neutral design is great - looks great without looking like a "toy box". They hold more than I thought, however, I do wish they came in a larger size as well.

Purchased at iHerb
This is yet another great book by John Gray, the author of 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus'. In today's world, the roles of men and women are much closer than before and are interchanged at times. It is easy to forget how men and women view and handle these roles differently and this book helps to explain how our hormones are often the causes for the differences. The book is written in simple English and comes with very good example for each of the differences so we can understand. There is nothing technical regarding the hormones etc. There are also very practical examples how to best handle each situation. Since this is written from both male and female perspective, it is best to be read by the couples. Even if you are single, it helps a lot since you get to rediscover yourself too and see how you have unknowingly behave in a certain way. The book also introduced many superfoods and herbs that can increase our life, libido and vitality. Pricewise, it is pretty cheap and it's hard cover too. Check out my page for more reviews!

Serg, you have one of the best collections I have ever seen. I know I keep telling you that, but the way its displayed and lighted and the autograph plaques just really set it apart.

We wanted a «different» place, a very Parisian way of life at the crossroads of Fine Arts, innovative gastronomy, wine creators and collectibles. Our site receives 40,000 guests each year and we are expanding our collections every year. Discover the concept that we strive to communicate selectively in Europe, the Americas and Asia since the 1728 is intended to remain first and foremost a place of word of mouth.
Architect, contractor, in charge of the Royal Plans and Fortifications in France under Louis XV, Antoine Mazin,
founder in 1728 of the Hotel that bears his name, was
passionate about mathematics and esotericism.
1728 is for him a "magic year" because it signed the
recognition and the apotheosis of his talent. Many hotels and
Royal buildings were already bearing his seal. This date is
also the reward of his architectural quests oriented towards
volumes and the perfect proportions of the golden ratio:
12x12x12 = 1728 !
This quest explains the wide architectural balance of our
place, reception rooms neither too large nor too small,
neither too high nor too short, a desire for harmony he
applied to his own home.
Mazin, of course, that we are rediscovering today, but also
the great family of financial tycoons Marquet de Bourgade,
then the General Marquis de La Fayette, who lived there
from 1827 until his death. He hosted all the Great Figures of
the World at that time (Cooper, Stendhal, Simon
Bolivar ...) all these characters marked this place with their
Each reception room, each apartment, every area exudes a
major event, an important meeting, a famous love affair, a
revolution ...
This explains the historical protection of our hotel desired by
the City of Paris.
The Hotel La Fayette Mazin - www.hotelmazinlafayette.comis a member of the Demeures Historiques.
Architecture, of course, but also painting and sculpture, collectibles, rare furniture, with a predilection for Italian
paintings of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Our Fonds
de Dotation Hôtel Mazin La Fayette is the motive force that
drives this Beaux Arts policy and guarantees the continuity
of our efforts.
Our permanent collections have the vocation to move
tomorrow around Europe and Asia and to enrich ourselves
with these multi-cultural spaces symbolized by the 18th
Venetian showcase of our Music Room where we present an
exceptional collection of Chinese archeology !
Alain Ducasse in his big and beautiful book, "J'aime Paris"
devoted four pages to the 1728 «whose cuisine is
uncommon ..."
This quote pleases us a lot because we assume this difference.
Our gravlax beef fillet or our foie gras (half cooked), marinated in the old fashion way resume our original approach, opened to the whole world.
All our products are extra fresh and their origin is certified.
Our spices come from the four continents.
Our original preparations make our difference. Our way of
cooking is often inspired by the Japanese preservation of
tastes and aromas.
Under the 1728 Brand, we will aim tomorrow to train and support new Chefs to spread our inventiveness and openness, especially in Asia.
Since our inception we wanted to be a broadcasting
platform to enhance he new French and European talented
But we are also offer a wide collection of sure values. On this
basis, we can advise and support future new places in Europe
or Asia.
No timetable imposed, first or second services are open...
we present a wide range of time for your orders ,everyone
can breathe at his own pace.
Our place opens early and closes late and early arrivals are not the first to go !
The best compliment we love to hear from our guests who
leave the place is «We must now return to real life!»
The context, the history surrounding, the collections, the
menu, our warm welcome... all that involves a very special
time-space atmosphere that marks our deep difference.
We frequently host world leaders, presidents, prime ministers, important entrepreneurs, well known press tycoons, famous artists, recognized writers ... and yet we have no press agent, or VIP "carré", our care is the same for all, because our hosts, known or unknown, share the spirit our the place.

Does anyone have any idea of it's worth/authenticity?
MAil to the usual address........
I have a copy, too, got it on ebay for a couple of Euro. I don't think it's worth that much, it pops up regularly on ebay. Like Mr. William Lee said, lots of thousands of this have been sold, so I would guess the demand is not that high.
Concerning authenticity: Why shouldn't it be authentic? Why do you have doubts?

My dad, Joe Farrell '74, went to St. Mike's, as did two uncles and a cousin before me so that's how I ended up so far from home for college. My other cousin just graduated this year so you could say it's our family school.
I'm at Christian Brothers University in Memphis attending graduate school in education through a program called LANCE. You live in community with other people and work on a master's while teaching.
I also was active in the Founders Society as a student ambassador and tour guide, took part in student government and was in the Irish step-dancing club. I found some of my greatest mentors through those activities. I continue to stay in touch with Heidi St. Peter in MOVE and Todd Wright in Wilderness for advice.
I apply my education major directly to my work as a teacher of course and I'm also constantly using ideas from my religious studies and American studies for literature and history courses that I teach. I taught English in Thailand, and I have also done work with confirmation classes at my local parish. I'll be teaching in a Catholic school this coming year, so the religious studies comes into play there.
I grew in my faith at Saint Michael's. I got to decide whether I would go to Mass, and on what role religion plays in my life. I got to think deeper through retreats. Saint Michael's allows you to figure out who you are and what you want out of religion, be that Catholicism or something else. Being open to sharing that faith is important.
My grad school roommate said, "I hope you can learn to love this place as much as you love St. Mike's," but I told her, "that's big shoes to fill."

Updated electronics, vintage bridge, and a rugged alder body enhance one of the best Fender Jazz basses yet.
The 5-string Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V delivers the modern features that bassists demand in a sleek, familiar electric bass design. An updated preamp circuit brings deeply exhilarating active and passive tone. Powerful-yet-quiet N3 Noiseless pickups present more clean headroom, extended EQ range, and tighter low-end response. The tonal options are vast, thanks to the active/passive toggle switch and passive tone control. These amazing electronics effortlessly handle the low B string with impeccable tone and seismic power. The classic Jazz Bass block fretboard inlays and binding present the Fender American Deluxe V bass in a rightfully classy light.
The bass is crafted with an alder body, a hard wood that provides clear tone, and lasting sustain. The maple neck with modern C-shape, 5-bolt neck plate, compound radius fretboard, asymmetrical neck profile, and contoured heel offer fast action, silky- smooth playability, and make the American Deluxe Jazz Bass extremely easy to play all the way up the neck. The high-mass vintage Fender bass bridge offers compressed and focused bass tone with more mid range punch. It retains the Fender articulation and sparkle, combined with vintage-style saddles to maintain a classic vibe. The combination of a steel plate with brass saddles produces the best possible Fender bass sound.
Pairing up these pickups with the EQ and volume controls provides that notorious Fender Jazz Bass sound that has mystified some of the world's most prominent bassists for decades.
Other features include Stealth "B" string retainer, tinted neck, rolled fingerboard edges, highly detailed nut- and fretwork, genuine bone nut, flathead screws on battery compartment (for easy changes with a coin or pick), gloss polyurethane neck finish, and a gloss urethane body finish to dress the Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V 5-string in ultimate style and beauty.

Comments about Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V 5-String Electric Bass:
I've played a lot of basses as do most bass players. I play through a GK MB-500 head and I must say this bass has tones that cover the spectrum; from bright punchy tones to unbelievable growls that impress as well as any I've played! It does buzz slightly when you run actives and boost midrange, however I rarely ever turn the actives on; this bass doesn't need actives! It is my first Fender purchase, and it wont be my last.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

What a monster. . . . . . .
Comments about Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V 5-String Electric Bass:
So ther'es 6 knobs and a active/passive switch on this bass:
1) master volume
2) pan pot (to separate or blend the 2 pick-ups together.)
3) bass
4) treble
5) mid
6) tone
In passive mode, the only knobs that work are the volume, pan & tone. In active mode, all of the knobs work except for the tone control.
My only complaint is that the volume of this bass drops quite a bit when you switch from active to passive mode. And, I don't care what Fender says, there's no such thing as "Noiseless" pick-up. In active mode, I can't boost the treble knob without getting a slight buzz. I think the electronics pick up the buzz of surrounding electronics, even lamps in my apartment.
I don't think the neck is as thin as the passive American Standard Jazz V bass I've always previously used. I thought that was a little strange.
I found if you boost the bass, cut the mid and just use the neck pick-up, you get a great "Latin sound" if you play with percussionists. Other than that, I just keep the pan pot in the center and boost the bass and mid.

Wedding Flowers: Cristina + Ross
Our friends Cristina and Ross were married in an intimate ceremony at Montaluce Winery in Dahlonega, GA. I had a good deal of creative freedom, since they are familiar with my work and trusted me to come up with the designs. I pulled my inspiration from the couples love of phalaenopsis orchids, which were used in the bride's bouquet, groom's boutonniere as well as the centerpieces. Congrats friends! We're so happy for you! The photos of the... Read More

The latest tour starts May 16 in Evansville, Ind., and runs through June 29 in Minneapolis. The group is working on a successor to its 2010 album "Mojo," which is scheduled for 2014 release.
Petty has periodically taken the Heartbreakers out of amphitheaters and arenas to revisit its earlier days in clubs and small theaters, having done a run of 20 shows in 1997 at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, five nights at the Vic Theatre in Chicago in 2003 and a pair of shows at the 500-seat Plaza del Sol Performance Hall at Cal State Northridge in 2011 to benefit the campus non-commercial radio station KCSN-FM (88.5).

is it better than Photoshop express for mobile images?
Previous news story Next news story |
Share: |
Instagram, one of the most popular photo processing and sharing apps is now available for Android. The free app, which works with Android 2.2 or newer, is initially missing a couple of the iOS app's features (such as tilt-shift and blur), which the company will add soon. As well as processing, the app uploads images to Instagram's sharing service, which has recently been expanded to include submissions from other popular apps such as Hipstamatic and Camera Awesome.
Announcement from company blog:
Today, we're excited to bring you Instagram for AndroidTM. We've already seen more than 30 million people join Instagram to create and share beautiful photos on their iOS devices, and now we're thrilled to offer a way for Android users to join their iOS friends on Instagram to share their photos with the world.
We've been working tirelessly to make this new Android app a first-class mobile photo-sharing experience. We've been meticulous about translating the Instagram experience to the Android platform. The Android app offers an extremely familiar Instagram experience when compared to the iOS app. You'll find all the same exact filters and community as our iOS version.
For the over 30 million people already using Instagram, this is a big step forward for the community as a whole. When we started working on Instagram, we tried to imagine what the world would be like if every single person on earth could share the world around them through the lens on their phones. With the release of Instagram for Android, we're one step closer to making that goal a reality. Now, more of your friends and family can share their lives, and follow yours, through a series of beautiful images.
We're so excited to welcome Android users to what has become an inspiring and thriving community. We've worked hard to bring you the best photo-sharing experience on Android, and look forward to seeing your photos and hearing your feedback. Enjoy!
Allegedly an update v.1.0.3 was issued 6Apr12 - promises expanded support for tablets and WiFi handsets, app installation on the SD card for storage-limited users and fixing an audio mute bug during capture.
Have you looked at the access to your "private" information you give Instagram when you accept all the conditions for installing this app?
yeah.. i only have.. maybe 2 apps added to my phone. they are useful. sure this little application would be fun. but i don't like all of the permissions 'apps' seem to need. i am not sure they are necessary..
It can't be installed on SD card. I had to uninstall it as internal memory in my phone is almost filled up. Maybe I'll give this app another chance after I upgrade my phone.
Downloaded, finally I can use the same program my wife has on her iphone. And then, "maybe" start to use my camera phone more :) Sometimes her iphone shots surprise me. sometimes in a good way. :)
What?!?!?!? How will I ever survive without fake tilt-shift on my phone? It's in the Constitution, people!
I've enjoyed Camera 360 on my EVO 4G. Any benefits to switching over to instagram?
Instagram is not only the application, but the blog, with quick sharing and "liking" stuff. For photo only and limited sharing, there is Pixl-O-Matic and the flickr group for instance.
If anyone wants to follow me they can, I'll follow you back.
But, if you start posting photos of One Direction, your toes/nails, and Double Tap messages, your on your own.
Except if your a hot woman ;-)
It would be nice to see the ability to add textures in lightroom. Lightroom 4 has already improved the presets and the framing in the workflow. Why not textures. Sure you can look at it as another layer. But so are adjustments and frames. They just don't show you the layers.
It would be nice to open up a raw image that's been post processed in photoshop, then have it broken down to different layers, not just a flat image.
(To Lift Off)
I know that, I was just hoping that I could also only use the camera/filter part disregarding the "social" part.
I'm already using other camera apps and I usually prefer to craft my own effects in PS (so that they serve a real purpose with regard to the particular photo eg. asymmetric vignetting to concentrate the attention on the viewer on a particular area, but I digress), but I would have liked to try this one out.
Ok, I understand.
But then don't worry about this. You're not missing much, to be honest.
So, as far as I can see, one can't use this one as a camera + effects (like Vignette) but must log in, or else it wouldn't even start...
It's just me that finds it depressing? :(
The thing is that there's a whole "social world" behind Instagram.
It's not just about taking/processing photos as it is about sharing them.
Personally, I find this overrated and I'll just stick to my "Little Photo" application.
Instagram used to be really cool until it was taken over by teenagers, celebraties & companies using it for marketing. There's still some really good photographers on there, but they're hard to find as the popular page is no longer about good photos.
and who made you the judge of what Instagram was meant to be or is supposed to be?
That's exactly the beauty of social media. The users decide what they want to use it for.
I don't think samhain was saying they were the judge of what it was *supposed* to be, just what they wished it still was and what they previously liked about it.
Just like me, I really liked Orkut before it was "taken over" by Brazilians. Certainly the Brazilians decided this was the site for them, but that does not lessen the fact that it was at one point a site that I thought was for me.
@Octane: Same original intent Photoshop was supposed to be: to edit photos. Now it's a tool to be used for creating digital paintings. You can bet some of those artists never use PS for editing or even touching ANY photos. They could use other art programs like Corel Painter or Paint Tool SAI for their purposes.
Since then, PS has included paint brushes, editing animation sequences (not using FLASH pro, or After Effects), and now the inclusion of "painting" 3D models. Maybe a few more iterations, and we'll get full 3D rendering and creations and people will quit using Maya or 3Dmax?
I'm still waiting for when my toaster can also be used as a paper shredder. That way the toaster won't be thought about being used to toast bread anymore.
Maybe. Not available on Android yet though. Just went to their site and all the links on their gallery page are broken.
The app has been pretty unstable on my Evo Shift 4G and it doesn't seem to allow me the option to set the Facebook posting to a specific page.
Also not (yet?) available on my tablet (asus transformer prime) ICS issue? or Tablet-pc issue?
think I'll stick with EyeEm app for android (it's a European company) and has far better features.
