NASA scientists have mapped how green the Earth is. Their map shows how much vegetation covers the planet's surface, and how much has disappeared in recent years due to wildfires, logging and crop failures.
The map also gives the first global glimpse of how much carbon these environmental disturbances release into the atmosphere. By comparing this figure with the carbon released from the fossil fuels we burn, scientists will be able to fine-tune their estimates of how human activity is driving global warming.
Vast areas of the Earth, particularly in the tropics and tundra, are too inaccessible to be mapped from the ground. So to create their map, a team from American universities led by Chris Potter of NASA Ames Research Center, reviewed vast amounts of data gathered since 1982 by satellites used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. From records of radiation reflected from the Earth's surface, the ...

MONROEVILLE — One thing is for sure, it will be a madhouse next Friday night at Marsh Field.
The Monroeville Eagles did their part, defeating Ashland Crestview 28-20 on Friday, setting up a showdown with Western Reserve, which beat South Central 49-0 in Firelands Conference action.
The Eagles will bring a 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the FC record into the Western Reserve matchup. The Riders are 5-0 and 2-0.
The game will also be the Eagles' homecoming.
Monroeville coach Dan Periat was thrilled to get past Crestview.
"That was an outstanding football team," he said. "They are the best 2-3 team that I know of right now."
The Cougars hurt themselves all night, losing four fumbles, three in the first half.
The Eagles struck first on a 13-yard touchdown pass from senior Ryan Stower to classmate Sam Schwab. The extra point was wide right, but the hosts were on top 6-0 after one quarter.
The Cougars answered with 8:40 to go in the second on Mason Minnich's 1-yard run. Tanner Graybeal added the PAT and Crestview took the lead at 7-6.
Monroeville then made a couple big plays right before the half.
Stower hooked up with senior Skylar Old on a 74-yard pass play that put the ball on the Cougar 8. Senior Chris Phillips covered those 8 yards, giving the home team a 12-7 lead at halftime.
Crestview took the second-half kick and drove 60 yards in less than five minutes. The drive was capped by junior Garrick Montgomery's 6-yard run. The PAT made it 14-12 in favor of the Cougars.
The Eagles scored the next two TDs.
Junior Cory Long bulled in from 3 yards out to make the Eagle advantage 18-14. Long also ran in the 2-point conversion extending the lead to 20-14.
Stower and Long would connect five minutes later on a 55-yard TD pass. Stower hit Schwab for two points and the Eagles were on top, 28-14 with 11:49 left in the game.
The Cougars added their final touchdown with 6:55 to go on a Matt Hall to Montgomery 27-yard pass. The extra point was blocked.
The Eagle defense made that 8-point lead stand up the rest of the way.
Stower finished the night 8-of-12 passing for 183 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception.
Long had four receptions for 89 yards and a TD.
Minnich paced the Cougars with 128 yards rushing on 25 tries with a TD.
"Our offensive coordinator Brad Dunlap made great calls tonight," Periat said. "The 2-point play, the screen, the throw-back — he called a great game. His play-calling was amazing.
"We were able to spring some big plays tonight and that was big for momentum," Periat said.
Periat knows the game next week against Western Reserve will be wild.
"No doubt," he said. "I can't wait. The word is, they are the team to beat."
Crestview coach Chad Coffman knew his Cougars (2-3, 0-2) let another one slip away.
"Obviously, you need to come out and be sound in what you do," he said. "We made too many mistakes tonight.
"They were able to get in situations where they took advantage of some breakdowns," he said.
The Cougars go to New London on Friday.
"For us, it's really simple," Coffman said. "We need to play better, more sound football."

Dye sublimation
Dye sublimation is the process of transferring ink from one surface to another, using heat. Dye sublimation has been in use for years, mainly for industrial textile printing, but with the introduction of portable heat presses, it is becoming a popular way to decorate clothing (eg t-shirts), other fabrics and just about any other material that can be coated with polymer primer (eg mugs, plates, tiles, key-rings etc).
Iron-on transfers can be used for similar application as dye sublimation, but the processes are quite different.
Iron-on transfers (t-shirt transfers) are special adhesive sheets which are ironed onto the blank (after printing) with heat. The transfer sheet STAYS glued to the fabric. You can use almost any printer and ink to print reasonable quality transfers, but for more permanent and professional looking prints, use an Epson printer and HT (high temperature) ink.
Note: HT ink doesn't "burn" as readily as regular inkjet ink, colours don't change when heat is applied and the print is more permanent as well. Contact us for more info and/or to buy HT ink, transfer paper etc (not listed here yet).
Dye sublimation (direct transfer DT) images are printed onto special sublimation (or similar) paper, which is then heated and pressed against the blank for pre-set time. This causes some of the ink to vaporize, permeate the fabric and stick to it's fibres. The "thermal transfer" sheet is then DISCARDED. Scroll down to buy dye sublimation ink.
Equipment required for dye sublimation.
Printer: Must be inkjet (eg Epson, Brother, Ricoh). Any model will do, as long as there are refill friendly cartridges available for it. If you can afford A3 Epson printer, they're generally better built and will last much much longer.
Tip: If you only need to sublimate few things every now and again, want to save few dollars and already have an Epson printer, there is no reason why you couldn't use it for regular printing as well as dye sublimation. All you need then is a second set of refill friendly ink cartridges (& dye-sub ink set).Heat press: What you want to sublimate will determine what type and size press you need. Basic models start from around $200 or you can spend as much as several thousand dollars on a fully automatic high volume press. Multi function (3in1 and 5in1) units take up less space and cost less than buying individual units. Work out what you NEED !
Note: We no longer supply heat presses due to prohibitive freight costs.
Ink: DT (direct transfer or sublimation) ink is unique and you can not use "normal" inkjet ink. It will not transfer. There can be considerable differences between sublimation inks from different sources. Some inks sublimate at higher temperatures than others, which can make them unsuitable for certain (heat sensitive) applications. Contact us for more info or to buy Direct Transfer (DT) ink.
Paper: Good quality DT ink should transfer pretty well from plain (copy) paper and that's really all you need for many applications. If you need higher colour intensity and/or better resolution, use sublimation paper. You will also need some heat resistant tape for attaching the transfer to your blank (masking tape works ok).
Tip: High resolution paper works almost as well as sublimation paper and is cheaper.
Other supplies: The range of blanks available for sublimating is huge these days and includes mugs, glasses, plates, key rings, aluminium board, puzzles, mouse pads, bedding, bags, baseball caps, towels, t-shirts, tiles and many more.

NBA 2013 Review: Jeremy Lin -by David Rountree Jeremy Lin last season was an amazing sensation for the New York Knicks, but things have slowed down a bit for the budding star. As a Houston Rocket he learned how it felt to be a starting point guard for the entire season, and there were some bumps in the road for the star. Lin had looked spectacular, average, and even abysmal at times. So what are some of the things going in the off-season he can improve on? The Good Lin played and started in every game for the Rockets this regular season, which is a good sign after having knee surgery around this time last year. His game blended well with the Rocket's superstar James Harden and he ran the team at a solid rate. Lin averaged six assists this season and 13 points; hardly All-Star numbers but still very solid for the Rocket's situation. The team is very young and was incorporating a lot of new players. He shot 44% from the field and averaged close to two steals a game ...

48 Years Ago – The Rolling Stones Banned from the Ed Sullivan Show
Forty eight years ago, the Rolling Stones made their first appearance on 'The Ed Sullivan Show.' The date was October 25, 1964 and Sullivan was on a roll. Earlier in the year he brought the Beatles into our living rooms, followed by the Dave Clark Five. Soon enough, every invading British rock band was making their way to the CBS studios for their moment in the spotlight.

Demand for new vehicle sales remained buoyant in November 2012, according to figures released today by the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (NAAMSA), which revealed a 7.3% year-on-year increase in total industry vehicle sales.
This is according to Chris de Kock, executive head of Sales and Marketing at WesBank, who says the prospect of increasing vehicle prices in the new year, as a result of the weakening Rand, is helping to drive year-end sales. "The low vehicle inflation environment over the last three years is coming to an end and prices have already started to increase, as evidenced by WesBank book data showing the average transaction value of new car purchases increased last month by 3.25% on average to R222 000.
Incentives are attractive
"In addition, the ongoing incentives currently being provided by motor vehicle manufacturers to entice new buyers such as discounts and trade-in incentives continue to be attractive to prospective purchasers." This trend is also demonstrated by WesBank book data, which recorded the second highest month on record in terms of monthly applications at 116 440, as well as significant growth of 27% in year-on-year applications.
"The market has been surprisingly strong throughout much of 2012, with plenty of demand among consumers for new vehicles as a result of the ongoing conducive buying environment, as consumers opt to take advantage of the combination of low inflation on new vehicles and interest rates at a 40-year low," says De Kock.
"Year-to-date the market is up 9.8% on 2011, retracting a little from the high of 11.6% in July. However, this is still a very strong performance given the financial pressures negatively impacting on many consumers and with one month to go, we are still expecting year-end growth to be single digits," concludes De Kock.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Grit Index: D-backs leave 13 runners on base in loss to Giants
Sixteen of their hitters reached base on Saturday, but the Arizona Diamondbacks managed just three runs in their second straight loss to the San Francisco Giants, 4-3.
At their home park, the Giants took a first-inning lead that they never lost grip of, although the Diamondbacks seemingly had men on base every inning, including the ninth, when they scored their third and final run on a Martin Prado flare single to right field.
Starting pitcher Wade Miley lasted just four innings, as manager Kirk Gibson opted to use Eric Chavez to pinch hit with men on the corners in the fifth -- a move that ultimately resulted in a run.
Josh Collmenter gave up a two-run home run to 2012 NL MVP Buster Posey in the following frame and that was the finality of the Giants scoring.
Still, as Gibson said after the game, "We had opportunities; we didn't capitalize on them."
In all, the Diamondbacks left 13 runners on base.
One of those runners was Cody Ross who, in the eighth inning, singled to center field, over the glove of pitcher Sandy Rosario. Then, as Ross attempted to advance to second base, which was left unattended, home plate umpire Mike DiMuro granted the Giants 'time' with the ball still in the outfield, as Rosario was apparently stung by the hit.
The call resulted in Ross being sent back to first base, which upset Gibson, who said he had never seen time called while the ball was still in the outfield.
"Theoretically, you could hit the ball to the 421 mark out there (in the outfield) and they could call time and no one could go anywhere.
"That may have cost us a run."
That -- the inability to advance on the bases -- was the story of the Diamondbacks' night.
The Good:
J.J. Putz, Will Harris, and David Hernandez held the Giants scoreless after the fifth inning, allowing just two hits in three innings of relief.
The Bad:
The Diamondbacks' lead in the NL West is down to 0.5 games over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants are now 4.5 games back; the Rockies, 3.5.
-All-Star Paul Goldschmidt is 1-for-9 at the plate in his first two games since the break, going 1-for-5 Saturday with a bases-loaded groundout to end the fourth.
Up Next:
The D-backs and Giants close their three-game series Sunday at AT&T Park. Right-hander Randall Delgado (1-3, 3.92 ERA) will take the mound, opposing left-hander Madison Bumgarner (10-5, 3.02 ERA). Bumgarner is 4-3 with a 3.25 ERA in 69.1 innings pitched vs. the Diamondbacks. First pitch is at 1:05 PM on Arizona Sports 620.

Exactly. Here is what I would have liked to seen out of 11 bouts.
125: Nickerson vs Haze (Nickerson bowed out because of injury....so I'll take the gardner haze that was realized).
133: Valenti vs Scott (It happened, it was great.....it was also the national final)
141: Lang vs Rivera (This is what i wanted and still want to see. Derek Moore wasn't on anyone's "realistic" stud all star radar.
149: Schlatter vs Gillespie (Wanted it since Gillespie lost to Jaggers a year ago at the Scuffle).
157: Paulson vs Levassuer (true)
165: Hendricks vs Askren (One way or another. I'd like to see this encouraged by the governing body. Askren was cert'd at 165).
165: Perry vs Tannenbaum (lets just take out the 174 pound bout....did anyone actually want to see Yonushonis vs herrington?)
184: Herbert vs Kish (Man Herbert pwn3d)
197: Any match here would have been better.
HWT: Konrad vs Dlagnev

The Pacific island nations of Tuvalu and Tokelau have declared a state of emergency due to severe water shortages. In response, New Zealand has sent water and two desalination units, and Samoa has also sent water.
Both nations rely on rain for drinking water, but there has been little rainfall for the past four months, says Richard Gorkrun of the Tuvalu Meteorological Service in Funafuti, Tuvalu. "Some villages in Tokelau only have enough water until the end of this week," says Jo Suveinakama of the Tokelau government.
A weak La Niña is causing the drought by cooling the surface of the sea around Tuvalu, says Daniel Corbett of forecasters MetService in Wellington, New Zealand. The cool waters have forced a large band of cloud off course.
"Normally the band would be flirting with Tuvalu and producing afternoon showers over the islands," says Corbett. "But now it's too far south, so they have been bone dry."
The clouds are not expected to return until next year.

Two Pinoys collaborate on unique invention: a bamboo sound amplifier
Photo from loudbasstard.com
Two Filipinos —New York-based architect Franz Ignacio and Japanese-Filipino
anthropologist Koh Onozawa—are the brains behind Loudbasstard, a sound amplifier
made of bamboo and handcrafted by Cebuano artisans.
The two met by chance during their vacation in Cebu, introduced by their Cebuana mothers who are longtime friends.
Wanting to bring their expertise together—Ignacio's design skills and Onozawa's intent to create a livelihood project for Cebuanos—the duo gave up their 9-to-5 jobs abroad and moved to Cebu to collaborate.
Their first project—a digital tablet case they called the Butler—did not take off.
Then the idea of creating a sustainable speaker that operates without electricity came up, after
Onozawa's girlfriend, Julie Ghafari, used a plastic cup to amplify the music from a smartphone.
The result: the Loudbasstard, an eco-friendly amplifier that works with smartphones like the
iPhone, iTouch, and the Samsung Galaxy 3, and other portable media devices.
To use it, one simply has to slip in a gadget into the hollow part of the Loudbasstard, and the
music is amplified by the bamboo case's cuplike shape.
"It took 3 months from prototype to final product and another month for packaging, marketing
and branding efforts," Ignacio told GMA News Online in an e-mail.
To keep operations sustainable and environment-friendly, everything is done locally and
manually, in Sitio Cantiplan, Cebu City, through "an entire army of people" who grow and
harvest the bamboo and cut and dye the bamboo speakers by hand.
The craftsmen use traditional techniques in cutting and shaping the bamboo, a practice that has
been taught to them by their fathers, and their fathers' fathers' before them.
As Ignacio and Onozawa put it, "Who knows how to handle bamboo better than a family that's
done it for generations? Not someone who simply was taught how to press buttons on a
From Cebu to the world
Some of the first Loudbasstards were sold in Vancouver, Canada, in October 2012.
Now with the Philippines as their base, Ignacio and Onozawa hope to see their Cebuano design expand its reach abroad and are working on bringing it to Switzerland, the Middle East, and the US this year.
Ignacio recalled that initially they sent 50 pieces to Vancouver, Canada "through a family friend who was visiting for a bit, and they immediately placed a bulk order after that. That's when we realized we were onto something."
Other friends abroad helped Ignacio and Onozawa get the bamboo speakers distributed in
Rome and Milan, Italy. Locally, these are sold online.
Its sustainable and eco-friendly design has given the Loudbasstard some good press from
publications abroad, such as "Design Street" and "Fool Magazine" in Italy and "Chic Haus
Magazine" in Mexico.
One review came from Italian entrepreneur Enrico Marone Cinzano, a member of the exclusive design organization Associazion per il Disegno Industriale, who called the product "stylish and sustainable."
On his Facebook page, Cinzano said, "The Loudbasstard [lets] you hear your favourite music without infringing on the capital brought to us by Mother Nature and helps retain local traditions while providing employment."
Ignacio said he and Onozawa didn't expect that their simple and practical design would be well received locally and abroad.
"The reception has been 100% awesome. We're still blown away by everyone's kind words. It
makes what we do that much more worth it," Ignacio said.
The reception is also a validation for Ignacio, an architect schooled in New York's Pratt Institute.
"Franz is a furniture designer by profession. So to have ventured out and have designed a
product that has been so positively embraced, outside of his norm, makes us feel accomplished in some level. It gives us more motivation to keep going and improve our designs and create," Onozawa said. - VVP, GMA News

When Tweetbot launched it's iOS 7 redesign, cries for a night theme were all over Twitter. Now, the Tapbots team has delivered.
Drawing from iOS 7's new design with rainbow colors and jumpy icons, the Twitter client app revamps its look and hikes up its price to $2.99.
Using the AppStore.com URL shortener, you can quickly and easily share a direct link to an app without having to launch the App Store to find it.
The experimental social service eagerly hopes to attract a larger audience before early backers are asked to renew their subscriptions.
Tweetbot, a popular iOS Twitter app, recently updated with the ability to let its users select a browser in which to open links. Here's how you can set your preferred browser.
An Agence France-Presse wire report notes that the Swiss railway SBB, which has accused Apple of ripping off a decades-old clock design used in its stations, doesn't intend to 'upset' Apple by asking for money.
Apple has been accused of copying a famous clock design for the time teller in its latest mobile OS.
The iPad maker could be in hot water for reportedly using a trademarked design it does not own the rights to as part of its iOS 6 clock app.
The micro-blogging site continues to abide by its new restricted-access mantra and takes away the tag that identifies which app a tweet comes from.
The relationship started well, but after six years it's soured, and social-media developers are crying foul after Twitter announced new restrictions this week.

Christmas is over, the holiday fever, the excitement is settling down. I enjoy the post holiday time, doing nothing, feeling a bit guilty of over-eating but secretly happy that I have set myself free. So free that I finished a whole box of chocolate all by myself.
I still have some gift wrapping paper and ribbons left, I knew I wouldn't have needed all these when I bought them, but they look so nice, prettier than some of the gifts. Time to store them together with all the Christmas ointments when it is time to store them, maybe next weekend... Tomorrow we are going to the mountain with snow, the Finnish man in the house misses snow and the kids wants to visit Peter Rabbit.

Social Security and you
Now's the time to learn about future Social Security benefits.
How much monthly income will I receive from Social Security once I've retired, and when can I begin collecting it?
Don't wait until you're getting ready to retire to get the answers to these important questions. Social Security is a fundamental part of the planning process and will help you identify income solutions that make sense for you.
When am I eligible for Social Security?
The answer depends on your birth year (see chart). There is a "normal" (or full) retirement age, as well as an age for partial benefits and late benefits.
Some can begin receiving partial Social Security benefits as early as age 62. Or you can delay until as late as age 70, which will increase your monthly benefits and possibly monthly survivor benefits. The ages listed here come from the Social Security Administration.
|At what age am I eligible to receive social security benefits?
|Birth Year:
|1942 or earlier
|1943 to 1959
|1960 or later
|Full Benefit:
|Partial Benefit:
|Late Benefit:
How much will Social Security cover?
It's unlikely that Social Security will provide enough to cover all of your retirement expenses. In fact, for a worker earning $40,000 a year, Social Security only replaces about 40 percent of pre-retirement earnings[1]. That's why it's vital to have other savings.
How much can I expect from Social Security?
Social Security is different for everyone. Benefits are based on your age at retirement and your top 35 years of earnings. To calculate your Social Security benefit, visit ssa.gov/estimator. To request your annual Social Security statement, visit ssa.gov/mystatement.
How will taxes affect my Social Security?
If you have other sources of retirement income, Social Security benefits may be subject to income taxes. About a third of people who receive Social Security pay income tax on their benefits[2].
Visit the Social Security website or call 800.772.1213 for more information.

Neeru Khosla Vicki Thompson/Silicon Valley Business Journal
The UpTake: Neeru Khosla and her husband, VC Vinod Khosla, are using their fortune to bring education into the 21st century through the CK-12 Foundation Neeru leads.
On a recent Friday afternoon in Palo Alto, Neeru Khosla is tailed by an employee's terrier as she traverses the modest headquarters of her 7-year-old education technology nonprofit, the CK-12 Foundation.
With 30 full-time employees, the organization seeks to turn the budding $5.4 billion K-12 education tech industry on its head. Khosla's goal: Offer a multimedia clearinghouse of online educational tools — from digital textbooks to videos and a growing number of interactive simulations — all for free.
The nonprofit's seven-figure-per-year budget is furnished by the Khosla family. Her husband Vinod's fortune from founding Sun Microsystems and an eponymous venture capital firm is now upward of $1 billion, according to Forbes. The CK-12 Foundation's educational tech tools are currently used by more than 38,000 schools in the U.S. and a growing number of international schools.
For more news from the Silicon Valley Business Journal, check out Lauren Hepler's work.
While the foundation has grown during a broader boom in education tech entrepreneurship, Neeru Khosla never saw herself as a potential founder.
"I never thought of running anything myself," she said. "Things just kept happening one after the other. I just had to keep learning how to do it."
Growing up in India and England, Khosla wanted to be a doctor.
Aptitude for science wasn't a problem, but one prerequisite for medicine — animal dissection — was a deal-breaker that pushed her to pursue microbiology instead.
"Not only is Neeru an animal lover, all animals love Neeru," said Vinod Khosla, her husband of 34 years. "In India there were a lot of street dogs, and they would always follow her around. She was always magnetic."

Carney: FLOTUS handled heckler 'brilliantly'
White House press secretary Jay Carney says he hasn't discussed with President Obama the first lady's confronting of a heckler Tuesday, but Carney gave her rave reviews for the way she handled the situation.
"It's my personal opinion that she handled it brilliantly," he told reporters at a press briefing Wednesday.
When Michelle Obama was interrupted by an LGBT activist during a campaign fundraiser, she approached the woman and said, "You can listen or you can take the mic, but I'm leaving." The woman, later identified as Ellen Sturtz of GetEqual, was escorted out.

Carbine length quad rail
April 12, 2013
Ordered this quad rail because it looked like it would cool the barrel quickly and reduce weight. All in all a very well made product. Fit is extremely tight and does not rattle on my bushy AR carbine model. Set screws ensue that it will stay put. Noticeably lighter than the stock hand guards and a good narrow look and feel. This is not some bulky quad rail. 5 stars on ease of installation and quality. The only draw back is the side rails are not the same height as the top and bottom not everything will fit on the side rails due to their lack of height. ( not enough room from base to tip of weaver) I believe this was do e to save on width and make it look more streamline. I don't use the side rails for much any way so I can live with this and save a couple hundred dollars over the other options.

Konami has been slashing game prices lately like they are going out of style. In the last two weeks they have significantly dropped the prices of Frogger, Silent Scope, and Power Pros Touch, but all of them were only on sale for a limited time. Konami is employing this tried and true strategy once again for Silent Hill: The Escape.
Silent Hill: The Escape is an iPhone and iPod touch version of Konami's extremely popular survival horror franchise. You are armed with a dim flashlight and a revolver, nothing more, as you navigate hallways in search for keys to escape "the monster-infested labyrinth." The game features touch and tilt-based controls.
If you would like to learn even more, we have an in-depth review of Silent Hill: The Escape for you to check out.
Silent Hill: The Escape was originally launched in December 2008 for $7.99. Not once has it been put on sale, that is until today. Silent Hill: The Escape will be available for $.99 from September 3rd to the 5th.

Hear Alison Brie's British accent in 'The Five-Year Engagement' trailer
The just-released trailer for the new rom-com "The Five-Year Engagement" is completely charming, which is reason enough alone to watch it. Emily Blunt and Jason Segel star as an engaged couple who have to keep pushing their wedding back when job opportunities arise.
It looks funny and adorable and a perfectly nice way to spend an hour and a half. But there's another reason you should probably check out the trailer, and that's "Community" and "Mad Men" star Alison Brie rocking her best British accent as the sister of Blunt's character.
We always get nervous when American actors try the Queen's English, but she seems to do a pretty good job here. At least from the 2.5 seconds we see in the trailer. Watch it below. "The Five-Year Engagement" comes out April 27, 2012.

|Felix bush recruits frank (the local funeral home director) to host his own funeral.
"...Funny, touching and acutely observed film... Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"...Eccentric and ultimately touching... Tom Long, Detroit News
Editor's NoteInspired by the true story of Tennessee recluse Felix "Bush" Breazeale, who planned his funeral while he was still alive, director Aaron Schneider's dramatic period thriller stars Robert Duvall, Bill Murray, Sissy Spacek, and Lucas Black. Few folks have spoken with Felix Bush (Duvall) since he disappeared into the Tennessee woods 40 years ago, and the ones who have don't necessarily have the kindest things to say about him. Gruff, confrontational, and ill-tempered, Felix has been the source of many malicious rumors over the years. Some say he's a cold-hearted killer and his penchant for walking into town with a shotgun, a wild beard, and threadbare clothes doesn't exactly give the impression of a man who seeks to make friends. When Felix walks into Frank Quinn's (Murray) funeral parlor and announces his intentions to throw himself a massive party before he passes away, word quickly spreads through town and anticipation starts to run high. Before long the big day has finally arrived, and Felix surprises everyone by revealing exactly why he shunned society to lead a life of solitude in the deep woods.

Customer Reviews of Get Low
Get Low, a good movie6/25/2011
I fully recommend this movie. You can read the synopsis elsewhere. I won't summarize the story here. I'll tell you why it's a good movie. It stars Robert Duvall, Bill Murray, Sissy Spacek, Lucas Black, Bill Cobbs, and Gerald McRaney. The cast is top-rate, and they do the story justice. (Apparently, this is based on a true account.) There is nothing casual or lazy about these actors. They present their characters in ways that are both familiar and new. The writing and production are well done. The story is compelling. It is both serious and humorous. But the humor is not comedic; it is the irony of human nature, the contrast between how we see ourselves and how others see us, and how life itself brings out the truth. This is believable. The viewer can relate to the angst and struggles of the characters. This is a story of failure and grief, of sin and forgiveness, and hope, with emphasis on the common human experience. It is rated PG-13. (I did not find anything obscene or offensive. There is no sexual violence, no gratuitous violence.) Instead of seeing the rating as a prohibitive guideline, perhaps it should be used as suggestion that parents do watch this with their children. It is a good story about the need to reckon with our own failures in life and how grace brings people together. It is a vital lesson for young and old alike.

Bakersfield is a quiet agricultural and industrial town located in one of the driest inhabited areas of California. Irrigated agriculture, mostly cotton, orchard crops and grapes lies to the north, and a large oil industry supported by nearby fields operates in and around the city. There isn't much to do. But the area is becoming a refuge for southern Californians looking to escape the high costs and bustle of the LA Basin, which starts about 80 miles and across a mountain range south. The area is also picking up businesses looking for an inexpensive location with southern California access; thus the economy is improving after years of malaise.
But those moving in will need to trust their air conditioners: summer heat can be relentless with temperatures frequently 105 degrees to 110 degrees. Air quality can be a problem in the deep valley. The downtown is plain and uninteresting, although there are some new buildings and a new riverfront park. The nicer neighborhoods lie west towards the Cal State Bakersfield campus and some new retail and housing development, is coming in especially west of town. Some recreation is available in the southern Sierra Nevada just to the east and north, and downtown Los Angeles is about 2 hours away.
Bakersfield is partially surrounded by a horseshoe-shaped rim of mountains with an open side to the northwest and the crest at an average distance of 40 miles. The valley and surrounding hills are dry grassland with some desert plants; oak-studded grassland becomes more prevalent in the foothills. Climate is Mediterranean semiarid with hot, dry summers and mild winters. Summers are cloudless with 100 degrees readings and very low humidity. Winters are mild but fairly humid with frequent fog that usually burns off but can last for weeks.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsFeatured Vehicles
Brian Wolfe 1986 Ford Mustang GT - Revolution
Brian Wolfe pushed the boundaries of 5.0 performance and laid the groundwork for today's modern era of Mustang performance.
The 5.0 engine can arguably be called the most popular and easily modified fuel-injected engine of this performance era.
The proliferation of the 5.0 craze continues to flourish today, 21 years after fuel injection was added to the Mustang. Success and popularity of the Mustang helped launch our industry into a new golden era of performance.
If it wasn't for the go-fast junkies pushing the envelope of the Mustang in the late '80s/early '90s, we probably wouldn't be sitting here today with a 300hp base-model GT and a booming aftermarket. This magazine, and many others, grew and prospered thanks to the 5.0 craze. During this time, one of the men who stood at the dawn of 5.0L performance craze was Brian Wolfe, a Ford engineer who was privileged to have picked through the specialty-parts bin at big Blue and make history.
A Ford engineer by trade and drag-racing enthusiast by choice, Wolfe was instrumental in bringing many Ford Racing performance parts to the market. He had grown up a hot rodder-his dad and brother are responsible for his automotive passion. His '86 Mustang GT was purchased off the showroom floor, and it didn't take long for him to modify it. "I had raced my first car, a 428CJ Fairlane," Wolfe says, "but once I ran 12.40s at will with my Mustang, I shoved my FE in the corner and focused on my small-block."
Being a Ford engineer has its advan-tages, and Wolfe's business and personal friendships led him into the history books of high-performance Mustangs. His desire to run quicker brought him to the Ford Motorsport (now Ford Racing Performance Parts) division. His car would become a test mule for products such as the GT-40 intake and GT-40 cylinder heads. "The GT-40 heads and intake were designed for production Mustangs," Wolfe says, "but the program was scrapped when Ford started to design the mod motors [though the GT-40 parts did make it onto the '93 Cobra-Ed]. My friends in Ford Motorsport asked if I wanted to try out the heads and intake. If they worked well, Ford Motorsport was going to add them to the catalog." His naturally aspirated '86 GT flew to a best of 11.66 at 115 mph-the quickest and fastest pass for a 5.0L Mustang at the time. It escalated from there.
In 1989, Wolfe's popularity with the ever-growing 5.0 crowd of Mustang enthusiasts was set in stone as he was featured in the now-defunct Super Ford magazine as owner of one of the three quickest Fox-body Mustangs. It was Wolfe, Stormin' Norman Gray, and Tom Hartell who were really pushing the 5.0 performance. Wolfe's car was naturally aspirated and ran high-11s, while Stormin' Norman used juice to also run high-11s, and Hartell had a Paxton supercharger in his Stang and ran low-12s. That story sparked an arms race amongst Mustang racers. Super Ford threw a 5.0 Shootout the following year to see who had the quickest Mustang in the land.
During that time, Stormin' Norman was credited with pushing the envelope further than anyone else. He had the Roush Racing crew (led by the late Steve Grebeck) build his car to run low-10s. Wolfe continued to rely on naturally aspirated combinations despite others running quicker than him on the bottle. "I have always been more of a naturally aspirated kind of guy," Wolfe says. A new engine combination was built using Allen Root (aka J302 aluminum) heads. It was enough to push Wolfe into the 10s, still without a power adder. In fact, he had the first 5.0 Mustang to run 11s, 10s, and 9s in naturally aspirated trim.
Not only was Wolfe a natural kind of guy, but he's also a fuel-injection enthusiast, and we aren't surprised given his engineering background. While many people with a fast Mustang turned to carbureted induction systems, Wolfe continued to push the Ford EEC IV computer system. He switched to a mass airflow sensor setup and began testing with computer add-ons offered through Ford Motorsport and built by GSR Electronics.

Leaving No Trace
Outdoor Ethics For Kids
Before you visit a Maryland state park or forest, learn these simple tips to make your visit enjoyable and safe. Remember, all Maryland State Parks are trash free!
Here are a few examples of "Leave No Trace" ethics that you can use while visiting Maryland's public lands. Leave No Trace is a national program that promotes responsible outdoor recreation. Remember - you'll enjoy nature even more by caring for your special place:
- Know Before You Go -- Be prepared! Don't forget clothes to protect you from cold, heat or rain. Use maps to show you where you'll be going and so you won't get lost. Learn about the areas you visit. Read books and talk to people before you go. The more you know, the more fun you'll have.
- Choose the Right Path -- Use existing camp areas and walk on the main trail to protect nature. Keep natural areas looking natural. Steer clear of flowers or small trees. Once hurt, they may not grow back. Camp at least 100 big steps from roads, trails and water.
- Trash Your Trash -- Pack it in, pack it out. Put litter in trash bags and carry it home. Use bathrooms or outhouses when available. If you have to "go," act like a cat and bury poop in a small hole 4-8 inches deep and 100 big steps from water sources. Place your toilet paper in a plastic bag and put the bag in a garbage can back home. Keep water clean. Don't put soap, food, or poop in lakes or streams.
- Leave What You Find -- Leave plants, rocks and historical items as you find them so the next person can enjoy them. Good campsites are found, not made. Don't dig trenches or build tables and chairs in your campsite.
- Be Careful With Fire -- Use a gas-fueled camp stove for cooking. It's easier to cook on and clean up than a fire. It it's ok to build a campfire in the area you're visiting, use an existing fire ring to protect the ground from heat. Don't snap branches off live, dead or downed trees. Instead, collect loose sticks from the ground. Burn the wood all the way to white ash and be sure that the fire is completely out and cold before you leave.
- Respect Wildlife -- Watch wildlife from a distance and never approach, feed or follow them. Human food is unhealthy for all animals and feeding them starts bad habits. Protect wildlife and your food by storing your meals and trash tightly. Control pets at all times, or leave them at home.
- Be Kind To Other Visitors -- >Make sure the fun you have in the outdoors does not bother anyone else. Remember that other visitors are there to enjoy nature. Listen to nature. Avoid making loud noises or yelling. If you meet horses on the trail, step downhill, and speak softly until they pass.
A complete guide to Leave No Trace - Outdoor Skills and Ethics is available from Leave No Trace, a national program that promotes responsible outdoor recreation.
Leave No Trace curriculum and wilderness skills training courses are taught through a partnership with the National Outdoor Leadership School. Visit the Leave No Trace website at www.lnt.org or contact them for additional information at 1-800-332-4100.

See his posthumous Miracle in the Evening (1960).
His daughter, Barbara Bel Geddes, 1922-2005, b. New York City, an actress, created the role of Maggie the Cat in Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955) and the title role in Jean Kerr's Mary, Mary (1961). Her film work included Elia Kazan's Panic in the Streets (1950) and Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958). She also had a leading role in the 1970s and 80s in the television series Dallas.
Bel Geddes was born Norman Melancton Geddes in Adrian, Michigan, the son of Flora Luelle (née Yingling) and Clifton T. Geddes, a stockbroker. When he married a woman named Helen Belle Schneider in 1916, they incorporated their names to Bel Geddes.
He began his career in 1918 as the scene designer for the Metropolitan Opera. He designed and directed various theatrical works, from a Broadway play starring Bela Lugosi (Arabesque, 1925) to an ice show titled It Happened on Ice, produced by Sonja Henie. He designed costumes for Max Reinhardt, and created the sets for the New York premiere production of Sidney Kingsley's Dead End (1935).
Bel Geddes opened an industrial-design studio in 1927, and designed a wide range of commercial products, from cocktail shakers to commemorative medallions to radio cabinets. His designs extended to unrealized futuristic concepts: a teardrop-shaped automobile, and an Art Deco House of Tomorrow. In 1929, he designed "Airliner Number 4," a 9-deck amphibian airliner that incorporated areas for deck-games, an orchestra, a gymnasium, a solarium, and two airplane hangars.
Bel Geddes's book Horizons (1932) had a significant impact: "By popularizing streamling when only a few engineers were considering its functional use, he made possible the design style of the thirties. He wrote forward-looking articles for popular American periodicals.
Bel Geddes designed the General Motors Pavilion, known as Futurama, for the 1939 New York World's Fair. For that famous and enormously influential installation, Bel Geddes exploited his earlier work in the same vein: he had designed a "Metropolis City of 1960" in 1936.
Bel Geddes's book Magic Motorways (1940) promoted advances in highway design and transportation, foreshadowing the Interstate Highway System ("there should be no more reason for a motorist who is passing through a city to slow down than there is for an airplane which is passing over it"). His autobiography, Miracle in the Evening, was published posthumously in 1960. He was the father of actress Barbara Bel Geddes.
"Norman," written by Gerry Beckley of the band America and performed by Jeff Larson on his 2002 album Fragile Sunrise, is an homage to Bel Geddes.

How's this for a cautionary tale?
A lawyer who represented a medical facility found out during cross-examination that his client had moved its important information into a cloud environment. So far, it sounds like a typical cloud migration.
But it was only later that the client learned the cloud provider was deleting all data every 60 days. Lacking the evidence that would have been in those records, the client had no choice but to settle the case.
John Facciola, a magistrate judge in the U.S. District Court, told that story while speaking at the FOSE Conference and Expo in Washington, D.C., on April 5.
"What terrifies me about the cloud is that people get into their heads that cloud has infinite capacity and we don't need records management," he said. "These days, that's like not having a men's room! How can you function?"
Facciola urged agency heads to think ahead before leaping to the cloud and offered tips on some key considerations. "Ask yourself some questions: Who in my agency is responsible for this? Who's going to sign off? What is it going to say, for example, when we have a demand for information and the stuff is in the cloud? What happens if the cloud provider goes bankrupt? That's always one of my favorite questions."
Agencies should also carefully think through their security posture and ask what provisions exist to protect data, and who is responsible in the event of a breach, or "who indemnifies whom," Facciola said.
FOSE, held April 3 to 5, is organized by 1105 Media, the parent company of Federal Computer Week.

Three-time Federal 100 winner is leaving government in July.
Members of Congress heaped hard questions on federal IT leaders at a June 16 hearing and suggested strongly that somebody needs to be fired.
Senate bill carves out exemption for supercomputing and other lab IT; an earlier version of the measure would have exempted the entire Department of Energy.
OPM is partnering with CSID to try to manage the fallout from a massive breach of some 4 million federal personnel records.
Steve Kelman applauds the OMB's move to make career employees "goal leaders" for performance management initiatives -- but wishes it had come far earlier in the administration.
In an exclusive interview, Jimaye Sones, who was Defense Information Systems Agency comptroller from 2005 to 2013, says he was reassigned after revealing questionable accounting practices at the agency.
Through computer forensics training and internships, veterans are helping Immigration and Customs Enforcement tackle a backlog in child exploitation cases.
After two months on the job studying DOD's cybersecurity and IT needs, Secretary Ashton Carter is set to unveil a new Pentagon cyber strategy in Silicon Valley.
The failure of massive federal IT projects can usually be traced to poor management. The solution is as multilayered as the projects themselves.
The title is mis-representative of the story. The story is some rinky-dink medical company bought public cloud storage on the cheap, failed to see what they were buying, and failed to monitor their own stuff once moved. The story is NOT, as implied, clouds cannot be used to hold official government records (ref DoD 5015.2). If you'd look, I think you'd fine more than a few do use public and private clouds.
Some other questions you should ask:
1. How will you recall something you need?
2. What will you do if the Internet is down?
a. Due to a tornado and it will be back tomorrow, or
b. Due to a gas pipeline explosion and it will be back next week, or
c. Due to a flood which leads to a gas explosion and a power transmission line outage and it will be back in six months.
3. Most cloud providers will stop access to you stuff the day after a missed payment and take quite some time to restart it.
4. Most data centers have a series of protocols (as described in the article) that could be very bad for your operation. Do you know what they are?
5. Have you really compared the real cost of local vs cloud considering everything that could happen?
Better look before you leap because he who hesitates is lost. THIMK!

Poles apart
Charlie Webster blogs from sunny Lezno on Poland's revved-up fans and squabbles in the pit lane!
Last Updated: 30/04/12 12:14pm
From the rain in England to the sunshine in Poland - the weather set the tone for a great weekend of Speedway for the second round of the Grand Prix series.
Within an hour of landing I'd put my trainers on and was out running around the sites of Poznan, about an hour from the track in Lezno.
Our hotel was pretty interesting too, an old army barracks; amazing inside although we thought it was haunted!
If you have never been to Speedway in Poland it is definitely worth a trip. The atmosphere is always electric. The fans are so vocal, in Lezno chants of "Jaroslaw Hampel" echo around the stadium with a sea of Polish flags. Every time there is an overtake the crowd roars.
Also the Polish sausage is definitely an experience even if just the once.
The League meetings in Poland average an attendance of 17,500. Myself and Troy Batchelor had a conversation on the plane about the difference between the Leagues on the continent and in the UK.
A lot of riders, including Batchelor, have spoken about how crowd support does make a real difference to them as riders.
There were plenty of non-GP riders out in support including Darcy Ward, Davey Watt, Cameron Woodward and Batchelor. Speaking to the riders beforehand they all seemed really up for it, the track looked just right and the sun was out in force.
It was a big test for many; Greg Hancock to maintain his incredible form; Jaroslaw Hampel and Tomasz Gollob to please the mainly Polish crowd (although there was a good amount of Brits); Hans Andersen to show what his return means; and Chris Harris to prove his place is deserved.
What happened to both Andersen and Harris seemed not entirely deserved. Harris packed up twice and had a constant battle with his bike throughout the night. Andersen had much the same nightmare, more because of his lack of pace.
Harris seems to be very much all or nothing. He's traditionally a slow starter to the GP season but something somewhere needs to click. We have all seen he's got it in him.
I definitely believe he has. I still think that as well as his bikes, of course, a lot of it is down to his mind. Speaking to Greg Hancock about confidence, he said that it's 'everything.' As a competitive sportsperson and in my job presenting live TV I emulate that.
Confidence is one thing that Chris Holder definitely isn't short of though. After a last-place finish in his first heat, rather than looking to his set-up he said it was about gating, that all important first corner and the way he had to ride the track.
The GP winner very quickly adjusted that and firmly made sure of a semi-final place. There may have been a Polish crowd routing for Hampel but I have to say the majority of the pits were cheering for Holder to take the win.
Whilst Holder's crew jumped on him, literally, Watt and Ward were well and truly in on the action and Hancock was actually the first to run to congratulate him.
However, there was the complete opposite further into the pits.
Gollob went straight for Hampel's pit where I was stood and it seemed like he was going to charge right at him. Surely Hampel should have been the one not impressed with Gollob?
After a few handbags at dawn it was all sorted. In Hampel and Gollob you couldn't get two more polar opposite temperaments. I know Hampel rides for Lezno but it's the first time I've ever heard a Polish crowd boo the normally popular Pole.
Maybe all the aggro and hyped actions had something to do with the massive cans of Monster that were on free tap for the pits.
I think if I'd drunk even a can I would have jumped on a bike myself!

Just shifted through this whole thing. Its been mentioned by Corduroy Suit about 3 years ago but I need to put Damnation in here again.
When it comes to cinematography & contemporary filmmakers Tarr is just untouchable.
The first image he told me about was of three children on a road, in Iceland, in 1965.
Sans Soleil, Chris Marker
…..one day I'll have to put it all alone at the beginning of a film with a long piece of black leader; if they don't see happiness in the picture, at least they'll see the black.
Sans soleil indeed belongs in here. Recently bought a book of photographies by chris marker – the story he tells with them is mesmerizing

Living Your Strengths
Are you in the Role that Fits Your Soul?
We are fed the idea in our culture that to be acceptable we need to be well-rounded. Though that is the prevailing notion, a closer look shows how untrue it actually is. People who are really effective and really excited about life are generally those who have discovered what they do best and have found great ways to do it. That is the idea of the Living Your Strengths journey.
The Living Your Strengths process has been full of insights and done amazing things in the lives of those who have participated. Here are some comments:
Living Your Strengths is...
• different from anything most people have ever done at a church so far
• very practical, and applies to work life, personal life, and family life
• very good at connecting the participants together, more than most group experiences
• helpful in terms of sorting out things in the past but also in preparing an individual for the future
• fascinating—it teaches participants a lot about themselves, others, and people in general
• a good spiritual boost
• great for people in transition since it provides real direction for next steps
• potentially able to significantly strengthen Trinity as a congregation
Living Your Strengths is a journey that guides us in identifying our innate strengths and talents and in using them to live fulfilling lives.
Identifying and using your God given unique strengths will determine the fulfillment you find in your workplace, how you approach a challenge, relate to others, and provide the foundation on which you can excel and fulfill God's purpose for your life. For more information, contact email@example.com at 586.463.2921 x103
LIVING Your STRENGTHS Journey – You are at your best when you do what you naturally do best. One of the Engaged Church survey items was In my church, I regularly have opportunities to do what I do best. The Living Your Strengths Journey will help you see yourself and the talents God has put into your life more clearly. The Living Your Strengths Journey is also a good opportunity to connect what you do best with a ministry at or through Trinity as you are available. This 7 week class is offered frequently throughout the year. Check the weekly Announcer or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for current information. Book cost: $15… Great Start Parenting Coalition of Macomb County provides the book at NO COST to parents living in Macomb County with a child 12 or under living at home. Those completing the class will also receive Strengths Based Leadership.

The Saskatchewan effort is part of a cross-country campaign to raise funds for Canadian Red Cross disaster preparedness and response activities.
"Walmart's support of Red Cross Disaster Response is incredible. It is such a great way to show how lots of small actions add up to a make a huge difference" stated Kim MacLean, Disaster Management Lead for Canadian Red Cross in Saskatchewan. "From tornados to floods and fires, Red Cross is here in times of need for Canadians whose lives are disrupted due to disaster and we couldn't do that without support from groups like Walmart."
Walmart associates will be asking customers to make a donation at the checkout in support of the work done by the Canadian Red Cross in communities across the country.

Our Daily Bread serves a mid-day meal Monday through Friday from 9:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Guests are welcome to stay and socialize most afternoons.
About 125 volunteers a week are needed for running the kitchen, picking up donations, doing data entry and spending time with the children in Kids Club.
It costs more than $800,000 per year to operate Our Daily Bread and nearly every dollar comes from private support and foundation grants.
