Check out the new release dates for the following films:
- The Tall Man, a horror/mystery/thriller starring Jessica Biel (The A-Team) and Jodelle Ferland (Silent Hill), will open August 31st, 2012.
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower, starring Emma Watson (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) and Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief) opens September 14th, 2012.
- Pitch Perfect, with Anna Kendrick (Scott Pilgrim vs the World) and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Kick-Ass), opens Octboer 5th, 2012.
Hit the jump for more on each film.
Check out the synopsis for The Tall Man, directed by Pascal Laugier (Martyrs) and also starring Stephen McHattie, Jakob Davies, William B. Davis, Samantha Ferris and Katherine Ramdeen. We've also done a round up of all The Tall Man images, so enjoy:
In an isolated, slowly dying mining town, children are vanishing without a trace – abducted, the townsfolk whisper, by a mysterious entity known locally as "The Tall Man." Town nurse Julia Denning (Jessica Biel; "Total Recall," "Strangers") seems skeptical…until her young David disappears in the middle of night. Frantic to rescue the boy, Julia lives every parent's darkest nightmare in this twisting, shock-around-each-corner thriller from acclaimed director Pascal Laugier ("Martyrs") called THE TALL MAN.
Here's the synopsis for The Perks of Being a Wallflower, directed by Stephen Chbosky from an adaptation of his own novel. The film also stars Nina Dobrev, Paul Rudd, Mae Whitman, Kate Walsh, Ezra Miller and Dylan McDermott.
A funny and touching adventure based on a best-selling novel that has sold over a million copies in the U.S. and has been published in 16 countries and 13 languages, THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER is a modern classic about a shy, sensitive teenager caught between trying to live his life and escape it.
Finally, the "a cappella" musical comedy, Pitch Perfect is directed by Avenue Q's Jason Moore and also stars Brittany Snow, Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp, Alexis Knapp, Adam DeVine and Freddie Stroma. The picture is set amidst the singing wars between rival a cappella groups: one at an all-girls school and one at an all-boys school. Pitch Perfect sees Kendrick as a rebellious, goth-type who joins the group as an escape from her unhappy life at school.
*Release date for The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Pitch Perfect courtesy of Box Office Mojo.

Water hyacinth
Eichhornea crassipes
Water Plants
Note that this floating aquatic is an invasive weed in warmer climates, and is restricted in some areas; must be overwintered inside in northern areas. Prolific by means of stolens: cut new plants free from the parent. Good light. Zone 8-10
Eichhornea azurea, the peacock hyacinth or creeping water hyacinth, another floating aquatic, requires large amount of space, and is otherwise grown and propagated in the same manner

Recently Jon Rafman removed several images from the Brand New Paint Job website after an artists' licensing organization based in Canada sent cease and desist letters. In an essay for his show at Fabio Paris Art Gallery, Domenico Quaranta, author of Media, New Media, Postmedia (excerpted on Rhizome) explains why the contested images are fair use:
What makes BNPJ [Brand New Paint Job] a radical project, despite its apparent accessibility, is – on one hand – its not immediate identification as a work of art and – on the other – its referencing of a conception of intellectual property that is not shared by current legislation.
As for the first point, without entering into the legal motivations behind the cease and desist letters, it is interesting to note that neither of them refer to the artistic nature of the project. The first makes a generic mention of "images", and the second refers to an "online game". It has to be said that if Rafman had been recognised as an artist, and his work as art, it is highly likely that it would have satisfied the criteria for fair use: the limited use of copyright material for specific purposes, as normally applies to artistic appropriations. So how was it possible that a collective set up to protect the interests of artists did not recognise, or refused to recognise, the artistic nature of a work?

I am Jennifer Juers, a stay at home mother of two children, Mikayla age 5 and Austin age 15, my husband of 10 years is self-employed, we have one pet, Sasha our boxer, and we live in the pretty state of Wisconsin. I have been crafting for about 6 years creating scrapbook layouts and cards. I started crafting using the Cricut Expression and tons of cartridges and then one day I stumbled across paper piecing on the internet, gave it a try and I have been hooked ever since! I am proud to be a part of the Digital Delights by Louby Loo Paper Piecing Design Team and look forward to working with Wendy and all of the designers!! Feel free to stop by my blog at Creative Cricut designs

Simon Fujiwara, The Museum of Incest: A Guided Tour, 2009 (performance), courtesy of Neue Alte Brücke, Frankfurt
In 2008, the New York-based artist Ellie Ga joined the crew of the Tara, a sailboat drifting in the Arctic Ocean as part of a scientific expedition, occupying the incongruous position of the ship's "artist-in-residence" among a team of scientific researchers. The role of "artist in residence" on a scientific expedition is a malleable one, without clearly defined parameters, thus Ga decided that her project would be to become the ship's archivist, attempting to capture the various facets of life aboard the Tara: the ways in which the crew organized the world around them without conventional landmarks; how they entertained themselves; the sense of uncertainty that results from following the whims of weather patterns, never quite knowing where they would move next; as well as her own personal associations and insights about the expedition and their surroundings, unburdened by the demands of scientific fact or reportage.
In the resulting body of work, which has taken various forms, including lectures, performances, slideshows, and videos, her personal narratives and memories often occupy a central role. In the performance Reading the Deck of Tara at the Lower East Side gallery Bureau in 2011, visitors were given one-on-one readings with the artist herself, in which she used a custom deck of cards inspired by those used in fortunetelling to relay aspects of her life aboard Tara. Each visitor's particular cards determined the form and content of the narrative, with each reading—and thus each version of the story she'd tell—being particular to that visitor, the performance's element of chance echoing the movement of a ship adrift.
Ellie Ga, Reading the Deck of Tara installation (2011)
Borrowing methods from various disciplines, from sociology to fiction writing, Ga is one of a number of younger contemporary artists whose work is tied to a kind of artistic fieldwork, investigating aspects of their lives and interests by merging the apparent objectivity of documentary forms and anthropological research with a plainly subjective, flexible approach, drawing on multiple methodologies and discourses. While the "archival impulse" in contemporary art is hardly a new phenomenon, and research-oriented practices have arguably become the norm rather than the exception, what seems to differentiate work like Ga's from those that fall under the broad, often contested banner of "relational," "dialogical," or "socially-engaged art," is that the endgame here isn't to offer a historiographic corrective or engage an outside community; rather...

OLD POST ALERT! This is an older post and although you might find some useful tips, any technical or publishing information is likely to be out of date. Please click on Start Here on the menu bar above to find links to my most useful articles, videos and podcast. Thanks and happy writing! – Joanna Penn
Editing is one of those processes that can go on forever, and I must admit to being a little addicted to it lately!
I have been working through a number of edits from my agent on Pentecost, my first novel in the ARKANE series.
Yes, this book is out and published (and available on all ebook stores!) but it is also being pitched to New York publishers by my literary agent in Sept/Oct. It's a book I know well and have read several times so editing it again is difficult.
It has already had a number of edits:
* Pre-publication – multiple drafts, self-editing, editorial review, and then a full line edit and then a proof-read, plus beta readers. More articles here about all that editing.
* Post-publication – fixing up of some minor errors/typos found by the first readers
So I am absolutely happy with the book as it stands now.
BUT when I re-read it again, as I work on the 3rd novel in the series, there are things that I want to improve.
Danger zone: every time you read a book you will find things you want to change!
There were some changes I wanted to make, plus some edits from Rachel, my agent so I have spent a few weeks going back through the book and tweaking. Here's my process:
(1) I printed it out on paper and went through it with a pen, writing on the pages and then updating the master file in Scrivener.
(2) I went through it again directly on Scrivener with the changes that Rachel, my agent wanted.
(3) Then I was sick of the book but I wanted to re-read it once more to make sure I was entirely happy. So this time, I exported it to Kindle format and read it on the Kindle device itself, adding annotations with the Kindle commenting functionality (see above left picture). It was amazing to see what popped off the page when reading in this different format. For example, repeated words were more easily spotted. Check the above example, where the word 'tried' appears twice near the number 35. In the edit, I changed one of these words to attempted. I have also changed some of the sentence structures to vary the rhythm.
(4) Then finally I went through making those changes in the Scrivener master file and exported it for submission.
Of course, if the book/series is bought by a publisher, I will have more edits based on what they want, so it is truly an ongoing process.
What do you think about editing books that are already published?
How do you edit your books, especially when you know them inside out and need new eyes? Please do leave a comment below as this is such an important topic for authors.

FARMINGTON, Mich. – Farmington Public Safety officers were called to the 23000 block of Frederick Street in the Warner Farms subdivision near Farmington Road, south of Grand River Avenue, to investigate a report of a large reptile roaming the area.
Officers found a mature female iguana resting on the front lawn of a residence.
The iguana appeared to be healthy. The iguana was transported to Oakland County Animal Control in Auburn Hills.
The reptile's owner claimed it Friday evening. The owner said the iguana normally stays in an enclosed sun porch. However, on Friday, the animal somehow managed to open the door and get out, on it's own.

Mobile App Security Techniques
Look left, look right, look in your pocket, you probably glanced over a cellular phone. These devices are getting more and more pervasive in today's society. More importantly they are getting very powerful. This new market of software users have been the catalyst of the "app" boom. Everyone is jumping on board and developing mobile applications. This influx of mobile application development means there are a large number of mobile applications that get rushed to the market before they can be properly reviewed from a security standpoint. So guess what, more bugs for the taking!
In this talk we will lay out a few basic techniques that we use when we perform mobile application assessments, highlight possible pit falls that one should be aware and hopefully give those up and coming mobile application penetration testers a leg up on the competition.
Raj Umadas is a Consultant with the Intrepidus Group. Mr. Umadas graduated Summa Cum-Laude from The Polytechnic Institute of NYU with a BS in Computer Engineering. At NYU:Poly, Mr. Umadas pursued a highly expansive computer security curriculum. He is just as comfortable sniffing out a memory corruption bug as he is assessing the risk management decisions of large projects.
Coupled with Mr. Umadas' fresh academic outlook on security, he obtained a no-nonsense business sense of security while working in an Information Risk Management arm of a large investment bank. Corporate governance, segregation of duties, and SOX compliance were all daily concerns for Mr. Umadas.
Mr. Umadas is eager to establish his own niche in the security world where he will be the catalyst of some very major innovation. With his strong academics, proven real world experience, and never-say-no attitude; it is only a matter of time.

User Interface and Security in Web Applications
Security is often seen as a competing priority to good user experience, but the two are not diametrically opposed. Good user experience is essential to good security. Without ease of use, most people simply ignore or bypass security protections in systems. In order to craft effective security measures it is essential to take user experience into consideration. With the meteoric growth of web applications as a medium for service delivery it is critical to deploy good security measures. Web applications offer an always on, globally available target for attackers. Users need to be allies in the drive for application security, but far too often security measures are presented as onerous, time consuming, bothersome add-on's to web applications rather than seamlessly integrated, easy to use, user friendly features. In this talk I propose to explore some of the reasons why good security in web applications matters and how you can make security effective by making it easy to use.

Discovering PHP Vulnerabilities Via Code Auditing
Abstract: PHP provides an accessible, easy to use platform for developing dynamic web applications. As the number of web based applications grow, so too does the threat from external attackers. The open and global nature of the web means that web applications are exposed to attack from around the world around the clock. Automated web application vulnerability scanning technology is still very much in its infancy, and unable to identify complex vulnerabilities that could lead to complete server compromise. While intrusion detection systems prove very valuable in detecting attacks, the best way to prevent vulnerabilities is to engage in active code review. There are many advantages of direct code review over automated testing, from the ability to identify complex edge scenario vulnerabilities to finding non-exploitable flaws and fixing them proactively. Many vulnerabilities in PHP based web applications are introduced with common misuse of the language or misunderstanding of how functions can be safely utilized. By understanding the common ways in which vulnerabilities are introduced into PHP code it becomes easy to quickly and accurately review PHP code and identify problems. In addition to common problems, PHP includes some obscure functionality that can lead developers to unwittingly introduce vulnerabilities into their applications. By understanding the security implications of some common PHP functions, code reviewers can pinpoint the use of such functions in code and inspect them to ensure safety.

Sushi Rice

Check Out: California Handroll Recipe
Sushi (すし、寿司) is a Japanese dish made up of cooked vinegared rice which is commonly topped with other ingredients or put into rolls. With the base sushi rice (酢飯) recipe, you can make all types of sushi such as nigiri zushi, maki zushi, inari zushi and temaki. For fellow sushi lovers, here's a step-by-step photo tutorial on how to cook sushi rice. This will be the base rice recipe for all sushi recipes.
|Click on photo to view full size
Printable Recipe
|Measure the rice. Use short-grain Japanese rice (not any type of rice).
|Rinse the rice in several changes of water until the water runs clear (skip this step if you are using pre-washed rice). The first few changes of water will likely be quite cloudy. Drain the rice in a colander for roughly 30 minutes. Draining the rice is believed to improve the texture and appearance of the cooked rice, but I usually skip this step if I'm pressed for time.
|Measure and add water for cooking the rice (1 cup rice: 1 1/4 cup water). My rice cooker is a Japanese brand so the pot came with its own water marking for sushi rice. Optional – add a piece of kelp/konbu (make cuts all over) and sake for additional flavour. Cook the rice using a rice cooker or simmer over the stove top.
|While waiting for the rice to cook, prepare vinegar mixture by mixing rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a small, non-aluminum saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. You may also use a microwave oven and heat using low power for about a minute. Alternatively, use ready-made seasoned rice vinegar which has already been mixed with sugar & salt, and can be used straight from the bottle.
|When the rice is cooked, discard the piece of kelp.
|Transfer the cooked rice (while it is still hot) to a hangiri or wide bowl. Pour prepared vinegar mixture over the rice. Stir the rice (gentle slicing action) using a rice paddle with one hand, while fanning the rice with a paper fan on the other hand. Do so until the rice has cooled to room temperature. Fanning the rice gets rid of excess moisture and gives the rice grains a glossy look.
|It is difficult for me to coordinate everything with only 2 hands (fanning, stirring & photographing), so I mounted a portable fan along the side of my kitchen cabinet to automate the fanning process.
|Cover the bowl of rice with a damp slotted cloth (dim sum cloth is perfect for this role) to keep the rice fresh and moist. Use the rice as soon as possible, preferably within a few hours. If you refrigerate the rice, it will turn hard and dry.
|Your sushi rice is now ready to be used for making all kinds of Japanese sushi.
38 comments on "Sushi Rice"
Where do I get the dim sum cloth? How long can you keep the cooked rice outside (covered with the dim sum cloth) at room temperature?
Noted with thanks.
Hi there, what is the brand of your rice cooker? I like the sushi rice marker there… :) And I am going through your recipes here, hopefully one day i can start making all these for my daughter :)
Hi, is this the same rice for cooking the DON rice? Or DON rice need not add vinegar? Thanks!
Hi, May I know the brand of seasoned rice vinegar that u are using?
Thank u!

No BoJ rate cut, but new policies brought in to boost inflation
No BoJ rate cut, but new policies brought in to boost inflation
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) did not cut rates but did introduce two new policy measures at today's meeting.
- "QQE (quantitative and qualitative easing) with yield curve control" which essentially means directing asset purchases so as to keep 10-year government bond yields close to zero.
- "Inflation overshooting commitment" which means keeping monetary policy loose until inflation exceeds 2% and stays above target.
Some relief for banks
The first measure aims to mitigate the adverse effects of negative interest rates on the financial sector, a policy which puts pressure on bank margins.
By targeting a zero 10-year JGB (Japanese government bond) yield, the BoJ can at least stop the gap between banks' borrowing costs and lending rates from narrowing further and squeezing their margins.
The financial sector led a strong rally in the equity market in response.
Raising inflation expectations is key
The second measure is an acknowledgement by the BoJ that they have failed to hit their 2% inflation target.
Increasing the target to one of "overshooting" may seem perverse, but the aim is to raise inflation expectations in the economy.
Increasing the commitment to higher prices is a bold attempt to break the deflationary mind-set which holds back wage rises and thus reinforces low inflation.
Further action likely to be needed
Today's moves have been well received by the markets: alongside the rally in the equity market, government bond yields have risen slightly and despite an increase in volatility the yen has been stable.
There was a risk that by not cutting rates the market would have seen today's action as hawkish, thus sparking a strong rally in the yen and a tightening of financial conditions.
However, in terms of economic impact we are sceptical as to whether today's moves will make much difference.
The overshooting commitment is welcome, but for it to succeed the public must believe that the BoJ can credibly raise inflation, something it has failed to do so far.
That does not mean it will fail, only that more action will be needed and we would look for a rate cut at the next BoJ meeting on 1 November.

I'm working on Migration of data from Flat Files to Oracle 8.0.5 database. I'm facing 2 major problems any suggestions would be highly appreciated:
1. How to migrate Special characters like TM - Trade Mark or R - Registered the symbols appear along with any company logo? Small characters appearing on top of the banner.
2. Double-byte characters
During insertion of data, only data length is taken into consideration. Double-byte characters in text file are the same length as single-byte characters. Hence, when inserting data, the record will not be inserted if the double-byte characters exceed half the length of the size for VARCHAR2 datatype.
Thanks in advance

Madonna's Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge Lipstick
Can Madonna's Custom-Made Lip Color Work on Everyone?
Can Madonna's Custom-Made Lip Color Work on Everyone?
Can one shade can work for every skin tone? In the case of Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge #8 ($24), it just might. This fire-engine-red hue was made especially for Madonna's worldwide tour by her makeup artist, Gina Brooke. (It's waterproof, smudge-proof, and crease-proof, too.) Brooke created the color for her star client, but she made sure that this lipstick looks good on any complexion — so we tried it to see if it fit all of ours. Read on to see the results.

Jeffrey Fisher
Program: Motion Picture/TV
For someone who never set out to teach "in any way, shape or form," Jeffrey Fisher, an instructor in College of DuPage's Motion Picture/Television program, has produced a part-time teaching career that has earned plaudits from students and peers and a top award from the college.
To say that he hit the ground running in his teaching vocation may be an understatement.
After being hired in 2002 by Jeff Curto, COD. professor/coordinator of Photography, who at the time was coordinating the college's Multimedia Arts area, Fisher's first teaching assignment was an all-day class from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fisher's task: Teach Audio I and II at the same time in the same room.
Despite the daunting challenge, Fisher said he felt "as comfortable as a good pair of jeans. It just felt right."
After that class, two students came up to Fisher and said, "Oh, you've been teaching for awhile." Fisher responded: "Would you think less of me if I told you that I had never taught a class before in my life?" The students said, "Well, you should probably keep doing it."
And he did.
Drawing on a bonanza of experiences as owner and manager of Fisher Creative Group, and his passion for the motion picture/television industry, Fisher is a past winner of COD's Overall Outstanding Part-Time Faculty Award. Fisher's real-world work experience at Fisher Creative Group is key to his teaching success.
"I share things that happen to me in my business with my students," Fisher said.
His work in the industry centers on audio, video, music, writing, training and media production services. He has published 11 books addressing audio, video and music subjects and has authored magazine and web articles and training manuals. Fisher has also produced more than 225 videos for corporate and educational clients and completed many audio-based projects including award-winning work in audio post-production for film, television, CDs, DVDs and web audio.
Further, Fisher is a regular speaker and trainer at the prestigious National Association of Broadcasters convention, where he and Jennifer Piehl, COD professor/coordinator of the Motion Picture/Television program, have taken groups of students.
"That trip opens students' eyes," Fisher said. "It is the real world and sometimes students don't understand how really diverse this industry is."
He said students who attend the convention come to understand that the industry is not just directors and producers, but that it is broad-based with myriad career options.
"All the projects that I design for my classes introduce skills that I feel the students need to know in order to go forward," Fisher said. A big fan of hands-on projects, Fisher will "cement a skill in place" and then reinforce that skill in the next project. These projects and learned skills continue to build until the moment of truth, which Fisher said usually occurs about this time in the semester.
"Suddenly it dawns on my students -- that 'aha moment' -- when they say, 'Now I get it.'
"At the beginning of class, students wonder why we do this and why we do that. Then, all of a sudden, there is perspective and they can see that every skill they learned now comes to its head with these final projects. That makes me feel so good."

I am very delighted with this "Learn Easy Sewing Skills" book of 11 wonderful projects I feel confident I can do. As a retired 9 to 5 office worker, I never made the time to learn to sew. Next week I am having 2 nieces over to do something with me from this book. I am especially pleased with the quick delivery of my shipment.
September 13, 2014
With 11 easy to sew items that make great gifts or home decor for your own home, this book will walk you through making each item. It begins with an 11 page basics of sewing that covers things like how to stitch, how to mark and basic sewing supplies and equipment. Then the written patterns begin which include such things as tote bags, potholders and aprons. They have colored photos of the finished item, along with finished size and a materials list. Colored boxes are found throughout the book with extra tips. There are enough graphics included to be sure you are going in the right direction. Each project is easy enough for a beginner but even a seasoned stitcher will find items that will be interesting enough to hold their attention. Besides, don't we all need a few easy projects, now and again especially when we are looking for those Secret Santa gifts?
August 3, 2014

Victims in Leesburg plane crash identified as husband, wife
John Fetcko killed in crash; Julie Fetcko injured
A husband and wife were on board a plane that crashed three miles from the Leesburg International Airport on Monday after running out of gas.
John Fetcko, the pilot of the eight-passenger Piper PA-31, was killed in the crash. His wife, Julie Fetcko, is in stable condition at Ocala Regional Medical Center. She suffered two broken ankles.
The Fetckos had a love for flying. On Julie Fetcko's website, albatrosslady.com, she talks about the couple's many adventures and trips on their plane.
The two were on a trip from Leesbug to Crescent City, a small aviation community where the main access is by the air.
Investigators said John Fetcko requested an emergency landing at the Leesburg airport but never made it.
Airport officials said it was not unusual for the Fetckos to use Leesburg International Airport. John's mother lives only 3 miles away.
The National Transportation Safety Board has taken over the investigation.
Preliminary results from the investigation point to a faulty fuel gauge.

Pinterest Cuts Off Spammers (Hey Instagram, Hope You're Next)
Pinterest today is undertaking a cleansing of spammy and fake accounts. It plans to delete them.
The site already has a spam reporting system for pins and comments. It tries to take care of bad behavior — like posting a picture of some cool product that redirects to a weight-loss site instead — on a rolling basis.
But it saved up a big batch of infringing accounts to wipe out in one fell swoop, in part because some users' follower counts may drop significantly.
Pinterest engineering lead Jon Jenkins noted that larger follower drops will likely only happen to a small minority of accounts that are on popular user lists or have bought fake followers.
All Pinterest users "will have just as many valid followers as today, but they will just lose a bunch of cruft," Jenkins said. More than 99 percent of accounts will lose fewer than 10 followers in the cleanse.
Jenkins said he didn't think there was anything special about Pinterest spam, just that it was the nature of running a social service, and especially one "that hits the scale we've hit." He said his team is now using machine learning to track spammer habits and wipe them out on an ongoing basis.
And it's true; Pinterest is hardly the only service with a spam problem. Instagram spam comments have been particularly bad of late, especially for celebrity user accounts and hashtags. Let's hope they can put a lid on that ASAP.

AMD's newest feature, Discoveries-in-Brief are manuscripts which expose a stylized fact or surprising empirical relation not clearly or easily predictable on the basis of extant theory or a-priori theorizing, but which offer little or no insight into the mechanisms underlying such relationships. Hambrick, in his seminal AMJ paper (2007), gives the surprising finding of an empirical link between smoking and cancer as an example of such a relationship.
While Discoveries-in-Brief may be based on any empirically-grounded methodology, authors of such papers should make sure that their manuscript:
ALL IN FEWER THAN 20 PAGES OF STANDARD TEXT** not including references and tables/figures, title page, abstract.To submit a manuscript: first make sure you have a Word file from which the title page and
all author-identifying references have been removed then go to Manuscript Central and follow the directions.

By Aaron Cooper, CNN
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Passengers are not allowed to carry guns onto airplanes, yet the Transportation Security Administration finds hundreds of weapons each year.
In 2012 more than 1,500 firearms were discovered by screeners at airport checkpoints, TSA spokesman David Castelveter said. That is an average of more than four weapons a day.
A total of 1,320 firearms were found in 2011. Many were loaded, and some had rounds in the chamber.
"We do assume that the vast majority of weapons that come through are (from) people who didn't know they couldn't carry them on or were not aware they were in the bag," Castelveter said.
Through the end of November, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport led the nation with 80 guns found.
The top five airports also included Dallas/Fort Worth International with a total of 75 firearms, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport with 50, George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston with 48, and Denver International Airport with 36.
It's not clear whether the increase in the number of guns found in 2012 is due to more people traveling with weapons or TSA screeners and new screening technologies doing a better job of finding them.
When firearms are found at a checkpoint, the TSA calls local police who determine whether the passenger should be arrested, ticketed or have their gun returned.
"They can be permitted to take weapon back to (their) car and come back," Castelveter said. "If it is illegal (to have the weapon in that locality), then it is confiscated by law enforcement."
Under TSA rules, guns are allowed in checked baggage in locked, hard-sided containers. They must be unloaded and declared to the airline, and passengers must follow local gun laws.
Guns, ammunition, firearm parts and even realistic replicas cannot be carried on the plane.
Guns are not the only weapons banned from the passenger areas of planes. The TSA blog highlights a wide variety of prohibited items discovered in carry on bags.
In the first week of December, passengers tried to take 40 stun guns through checkpoints. The next week, a walking cane with a sword inside was found, and in the week before Christmas, a spear gun was discovered. In addition, four inert grenades were found inside carry-ons.

After half a year living on the International Space Station, three astronauts safely returned to Earth on Sunday aboard a Russian-built space capsule.
The Soyuz spacecraft landed in the Central Asian steppes of Kazakhstan at 4:14 a.m. ET, returning NASA astronaut Don Pettit, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko and Dutch astronaut Andre Kuipers to their home planet.
"Everything is good, we feel great," Kononenko radioed Russia's Mission Control Center just before landing.
Space news from NBCNews.com
Teen's space mission fueled by social media
Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: "Astronaut Abby" is at the controls of a social-media machine that is launching the 15-year-old from Minnesota to Kazakhstan this month for the liftoff of the International Space Station's next crew.
- Buzz Aldrin's vision for journey to Mars
- Giant black hole may be cooking up meals
- Watch a 'ring of fire' solar eclipse online
- Teen's space mission fueled by social media
The spacefliers undocked from the space station several hours earlier in their Soyuz TMA-03M spacecraft to begin the journey home. They landed upright under a blue sky dotted with some white clouds in Kazakhstan, where the local time was Sunday afternoon. Live video tracked the Soyuz's descent at the end of its parachute, right down to the ground.
Veterans return from frontier
Pettit, Kononenko and Kuipers arrived at the orbiting outpost in December 2011. All three had flown previous missions to the space station, making them a crew of veteran spacefliers.
In a blog post describing his final day in space, Pettit reflected on the impact of his months-long mission, and encouraged humanity to keep pushing the boundaries of space exploration.
"On Earth, the frontiers opened slowly," Pettit wrote. "The technology of sailing was known and advanced for over a thousand years before the Earth was circumnavigated. Such bold acts require the technology, the will, and the audacity to explore. Sometimes you have one, but not the others. I only hope that my small efforts here, perhaps adding one grain of sand to the beach of knowledge, will help enable a generation of people in the future to call space 'home.'" [Landing Photos: Soyuz Capsule Returns 3 Astronauts Home]
Throughout their mission, Pettit and Kuipers shared stunning photos of Earth from space with the public through Twitter and the Flickr photo-sharing site. Pettit also regularly updated his blog with accounts of his experiences on the space station, including several poems in tribute to life in space.
Pettit kept a journal as a fun way to document his scientific activities on the orbiting outpost. For instance, Pettit wrote blog updates using the persona of a zucchini plant when he experimented with growing different kinds of plants in microgravity.
On Friday, Pettit wrote a poem called "Last Day in Space," touching upon his memories of the mission, the experiences that moved him, and his anticipation over seeing his wife and children again soon.
Milestone mission
Pettit, Kononenko and Kuipers made up half of the station's Expedition 31 crew. During their stay at the orbiting laboratory, the spacefliers rolled out the welcome mat for the first commercial spacecraft to visit the station.
SpaceX's unmanned Dragon capsule was launched to the International Space Station on a test flight to demonstrate the spacecraft's ability to carry cargo to and from low-Earth orbit. As Dragon approached the station, Pettit and Kuipers used the outpost's robotic arm to pluck it from space and manually park it to the complex.
The successful test flight lays the groundwork for NASA to use commercial spaceships to ferry cargo — and one day, astronauts — to the space station. SpaceX holds a $1.6 billion contract with the agency for 12 unmanned cargo delivery flights.
Kononenko served as commander of Expedition 31 during his stay, but passed the torch to fellow Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka during a change-of-command ceremony Saturday.
The departure of Pettit, Kononenko and Kuipers leaves only three residents occupying the space station until three new crewmembers launch to the complex on July 14. Padalka, NASA astronaut Joe Acaba and Russian cosmonaut Sergei Revin will remain aboard the orbiting outpost until September.
Russian space station flight controllers radioed Padalka and his Expedition 32 crew after Sunday's landing to let the spacefliers know their comrades were back on Earth and in good health.
"Good to hear," Padalka radioed back. "Another mission completed."

In the famine years of 1845-52, Ireland lost a quarter of its population. An estimated 1 million people died of hunger and disease, while another million immigrated to places like Boston, New York, and Liverpool.
In "The Famine Plot,'' renowned Irish journalist and historian Tim Pat Coogan ("Michael Collins") argues that these 2 million did not suffer simply because of a natural disaster, but because of a policy of not-so-benign neglect by England, which then governed the island nation. Coogan, who notes that Irish historians traditionally have been reluctant to explore England's role in the tragedy, lays blame for much of the suffering at the feet of England's half-hearted relief efforts, which were managed by a government official named Charles Trevelyan.
Backed up by impressive research, Coogan shows that many of Trevelyan's decisions sprang from two pillars of laissez-faire economics: (1) a firm belief that providing government relief would promote dependence on government, which is an evil, and (2) that feeding the Irish with state-subsidized food would have interfered with free market forces, something no government should do.
A fervent devotee of Adam Smith's free market economic theories (and seemingly ignorant of Jonathan Swift's satire), Trevelyan put the matter bluntly in an 1845 letter: "permanent advantages will accrue to Ireland from the scarcity [of food]," and, best of all, famine would "teach the people to depend upon themselves for developing the resources of the country, instead of having recourse to the assistance of the government."
Coogan opens his history by setting the historical, cultural, political, and economic contexts. In short that Ireland in the 19th century was mostly poor, largely agrarian, Catholic, and living under the thumb of its centuries-long Protestant masters, many of whom viewed the Irish at best as lazy and ignorant and at worst as little better than animals.
Once the potato blight emerged — a significant part of the population was dependant on the potato for food — the fate of the Irish was entirely in the hands of English leaders.
Coogan notes that English economic ideas came inextricably entwined with moral ones — "straightforward anti-Catholic prejudice, and the view that the laws of commerce were the laws of God." As Coogan puts it, the Victorian attitude was that "poverty was a self-inflicted wound incurred through bad habits."
Coogan describes in horrific, heart-breaking detail how the famine struck hardest in the west of Ireland, where mass evictions led small farmers, who generally paid their rent with potatoes, to choose among begging, slowly dying, or emigrating. But this was not bad news for all. Coogan describes how Ireland's absentee landlords, many living in London, were happy to have their numerous Irish tenants forced off the small plots they farmed, so land holdings could be consolidated, enhancing their market potential.
Even the inadequate relief efforts organized by Trevelyan were marked by a punitive, stigmatizing intent aimed at forcing the starving to fall back on their own resources. As Coogan makes clear, receiving public relief in Ireland was utterly inconsistent with maintaining the slightest shred of human dignity, as state-operated workhouses were overcrowded, disease-ridden, and highly-unwelcoming places by design. "Life inside the workhouses was made as unpleasant as possible . . . to encourage paupers to speedily'' leave, Coogan writes.
Coogan bemoans that so many historians treaded so gingerly around England's responsibility for the death and suffering, even after Prime Minister Tony Blair's 1997 official apology for the famine. Coogan's insistent examining of the moral dimensions of that nation's policies, and how they fueled the horrors on the ground, represents his greatest contribution to the voluminous scholarship on the Irish famine, and is this book's greatest strength.

Hello guys!
I have a problem with the game.
In the last 2 months (since 30/31 july), after an update that was made I think, the game doesn't work anymore. It doesn't start.
It always loads to the update/start screen, hangs for a few seconds, then just crashes or self-exits.
I am an Android user.
Does anybody have a similar problem? Have you got any idea what should I do in this situation?
Thank you!


text: NeverWet Multi-Surface Kit Faqs Prev Page 1 of 3 Next 1. How abrasion resistant is Rust-Oleum NeverWet? Rust-Oleum NeverWet is resistant to normal wear and tear; however, with excessive abrasion or if applied to a walking surface, the superhydrophobic properties will be quickly diminished. In many situations, the superhydrophobic action may be reduced, but the remaining Top Coat and Base Coat still provide protection to the coated surface. Superhydrophobicity can be restored by scuff sanding the object to remove the residual Top Coat, and then recoating the object with Base Coat and Top Coat 2. Will NeverWet breakdown if exposed to the sun? NeverWet is formulated with UV inhibitors that protects it from degradation caused by the sun's rays. NeverWet does not offer UV protection to the treated surface. 3. Are coated items "breathable"? The breath-ability of a coated item is dependent on how heavy the Base Coat is applied. The lighter the Base Coat, the more breathable the item will be. If a continuous, heavy film is applied, the surface will not be breathable. 4. Can NeverWet be used on electronics? No, NeverWet should not be used on electronics. 5. Is NeverWet safe? Yes. The superhydrophobic ingredient in the Top Coat has been used in the cosmetics and food industry for over 20 years and has been deemed safe by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The other ingredients are typical ingredients found in paint. Prev Page 1 of 3 Next

Talk to Me: Design and Communication between People and Objects is an ambitious exhibition at MoMA curated by Senior Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design, Paola Antonelli. Focused on new modes of communication and interactivity, the exhibition captures over 194 works from an international group of aritsts and designers. The space is divided into five themes and includes work ranging from Jason Rohrer's minimalist game Passage (2008) to Sputniko!'s role-reversing Menstruation Machine-Takashki's Take (2010). After touring Talk to Me on a rainy weekday with Paola, we met in her office to discuss the importance of collaboration, QR tags, and speculate about the future.
Jason Huff: You have curated numerous shows on the frontier of design and its intersection with technology among other fields. Design and the Elastic Mind, from 2008, stands out because of it's timing within the latest rush of social technology and interaction that has arguably become the norm over the past few years. What makes Talk to Me distinct in this lineage of exhibitions?
Paola Antonelli: In Design and the Elastic Mind, the communication between people was just one of the facets as it was about design and science in general. Therefore, there was a really big presence of synthetic biology, for instance, or nanotechnology, nanophysics, robotics. There were a lot of different topics involved. Thinking back, pieces like Google Earth, Google Moon and Google Mars from Design and the Elastic Mind would have fit in [Talk to Me]. So could have the One Laptop per Child project.
But it really was about designers working with scientists and scientists working with designers. At that time, the conclusion was that designers and scientists worked very well together because they both had ambitions to occupy a different position in society and in culture. Designers want to be taken more seriously; they are tired of being considered "prettifiers" that go straight to the House and Home section of the New York Times, and scientists want to be considered less lofty, less abstract, disengaged, and disinterested in human beings....

Internets rookie Jason Gregor is out on assignment upon the Imperial Command of Viceroy Wanye Von Gretz IV MD. Gregor is at the Rookie Camp Game in Camrose and is posting live(ish) from the game. He is sending me stuff "at the end of every period or if something cool happens."
I think Oiler fans are as rabid as NFL fans when it comes to wanting to know everything about their team. Down south mini-camps are followed closely months before the season starts, and as I look at the sold out crowd here in Camrose, there's no questioning the fanatical loyalty and desire of Oiler fans. You must care when you are willing to follow a game that involves no players who will start the season in Edmonton this year.
And what a great rink they've built here in Camrose. Seating capacity of close to 2,200 and with standing room I could see many AJHL playoff games housing close to 3000.
In case you missed it, here is the Oilers' lineup for this rookie battle of Alberta.
Oilers Lineup
First Line
LW Slava Trukno 4th, 2005
C Ryan O'Marra 1st, 2005
RW Jordan Eberle NYI (1st round, 2008)
Second Line
LW Philippe Cornet 3rd, 2008
C Bryan Lerg F.A
RW Colin MacDonald 2nd, 2003
Third Line
LW Stepahne Goulet 7th, 2004?
C Geoff Paukovich 2nd, 2004
RW David Rohlfs 5th, 2003
Fourth Line
LW Hans Benson F.A
C Ryan Huddy F.A (Charlie's son)
RW Ryan McMurchy F.A
Taylor Chorney 2nd, 2005 – Theo Peckham 2nd, 2006
Cody Wild 5th, 2006 – Sebastion Bisaillon F.A
Josef Hrabel 8th, 2003 – Jesse Dudas 6th, 2006 CBJ
Devan Dubynk 1st, 2004 – Glenn Fisher 5th, 2002
Pregame Thoughts
The only Flame rookie dressed tonight who might crack the big team is Mikael Backlund. The Flames' first round pick in 2007 has great offensive instincts, and considering the lack of offence in Calgary, look for Backlund to get a long look throughout rookie camp and into the preseason.
Gregor Note: I'm posting in Olympic time format because I am lazy. This means that a time of 18:22 is really 1:38 into the period.
Wanye Note: Gregor you so lazy
First Period
18:22… The biggest cheer in the first went to the maintenance crew. After 15 minutes of losing the battle, they finally got the pane of glass figured out…
17:12… The first powerplay goes to the Oilers. The bad news is they didn't register a shot and looked unorganized. O'Marra's line played most of the PP.
14:00… Best save of the period. Matt Keetley stones Eberle on the doorstep with a great pad save.
13:24… Theo Peckham and J.D Watt drop the mitts. After a few seconds of grappling both guys get each other's helmet off and start throwing. Both try to land some uppercuts. Watt lands a good one, and then Peckham switches hands and lands a solid left. They dance around a bit trying unsuccessfully to land anything. Refs jump in. Solid tilt and I'll give a slight edge to Peckham for landing the left. I should mention that all the players had to wear visors. They are playing AJHL rules.
9:25… Oilers go on their second PP. Matt Pelech takes a needless interference penalty behind the play tripping up Paukovich. Huddy's line gets the first 45 seconds and they generate a decent chance. O'Marra's line comes out and actually give up a goal.
8:00…Brett Sutter opens the scoring shorthanded. Jesse Dudas can't keep it in at the blueline, Sutter breaks down the right wing and puts it top shelf over Dubnyk's glove.
7:12… Peckham back in the box for 2. Flames PP looks likes the Oilers' first one as they accomplish nothing. Oilers control the play and it leads to the following…
6:22… McMurchy with a great hit for the Oilers as he crushes Wilson at the Oilers' blueline and it leads to a 2 on 1. Berg brings it on the left side, but waits to long to make the pass and it rolls harmlessly in Keetley.
5:12… Colin McDonald creates a turnover at the Oilers blueline and heads in all alone…He makes a nice move, goes to the backhand, but Keetley with a great glove save stones him just as the penalty expires.
3:42… Cody Wild takes a tripping penalty and the Flames send out their top line of Backland, Nemicz and Greentree with Brodie and Jonsson on the back end. Another unproductive PP, with the best chance going to Eberle as he tries a wrap around late in the penalty.
1:36… Colin Mcdonald streaks down the right side, blows by Aulie but once again can't beat Keetley. McDonald was the best Oiler in the first period.
First Period Summary
I didn't notice Chorney once in the first period. Geoff Paukovich was the most physical Oiler mixing it up every time he was on the ice. Overall a decent first period as the intensity picked up in the later stages.
Shots on goal after 20 minutes, nine apiece. Keetley made three huge saves, while Dubnyk wasn't really tested and got beat once on a great shot from Sutter.
After watching the maintenance crew struggle with the glass, it got me thinking once again that the Oilers need Ice Girls. Trust me; the 15 minute wait wouldn't have been half as long if there were Ice Girls skating around in Lulu Lemon pants…just a thought.
I polled nine fans sitting in the section next to me, and they unanimously agreed that Ice Girls would have been much better than watching farmer Dave hammer in the glass. I'm not saying farmer's are all bad looking, just that Ice Girls would be hotter).
The Zamboni driver ripped around the ice in nine minutes to flood the ice. Impressive.
Second Period
18:12… Bisaillon with a great stick to break up a two-on-one. I still don't think he will ever play another game for the Oilers. Too small to be defensive and not enough offensive upside to be a powerplay guy in the Show.
17:42… Cody Wild pinches in and rips one off the post. Keetley's blocker might have got a piece of it. Wild has impressed me with his awareness and smooth stride.
13:51… More scrums…Either fight or stop the pointless face washes. Somehow the Flames get the extra penalty and the Oilers go on their 3rd PP. Huddy's line starts the PP agains with Bisaillon and Dudas on the points. They move it around nice…Dudas at the left point down to Huddy at the right circle across to McMurchy at the left hash marks and he rips it off the post staring at a wide-open cage. Lerg's line gets the final 40 seconds and they don't register a shot.
11:10… Dubynk with his best save. Mitch Wahl with some great stickhandling fires from the right circle and Dubynk kicks out the right pad.
8:55… Hans Benson and Greentree mix it up. Benson drops his gloves, but Greentree just stays down. Benson gets the extra two and the Flames go on their 2nd PP. We should clarify that Benson is NOT the brother to former Bears' runningback, Cedric Benson, they are first cousins. Flames PP is awful. They can't pass to save their life.
5:27… Flames D-man Matt Pelech crushes Lerg with his head down at the Flames' blueline, and Benson steps right in. Benson drops the mitts and starts throwing rights. Pelech can't get his balance and Benson ends up getting four minutes for roughing and a ten minutes misconduct.
2:55… Flames make a bad change and get caught with too many men on the ice, negating the PP. But it was another ineffective 2:28 with the man advantage so they are probably happy to play some four-on-four.
Second Period Summary
Period ends with not much excitement. Flames had ten shots in the 2nd, while the Oilers fired 8, but none really tested Keetley. I even had time to check my fantasy football scores during the play. Lendale While might have been the worst pick 3rd round pick ever in fantasy football. What was I thinking? The thing I hate about Fantasy is that in one draft I have Tony Romo and I need him to score decent tomorrow so I can win, but he can't score too many points or I lose in my other draft because the guy I'm playing has him. That is why I'm only in two leagues now. You get in too many and this dilemma happens all the time…Anyways I digress. I need some concession french fries. Hopefully the 3rd is more exciting…
Third Period
20 minute intermissions… ARE you kidding me? That needs to change for the next few games.
15:54… First whistle of the period after an Oiler icing. Lots of skating but nothing happened with no shots on goal from either squad.
15:22… Paukovich gets rocked behind the Oiler net by Adam Cracknell. Six seconds later he retaliates and crushes Kyle Greentree from behind into the boards. Paukovich gets 5 and a game. This hit was similar to the hit he laid on Rob Bina back in College when Pina was a teammate of Matt Greene at North Dakota . Greene if you recall, fought Paukovich last year at Clare Drake before training camp. Greene said it was retribution for the hit a few years earlier. Paukovich will have to learn to take a hit and not retaliate in the cheapest fashion: Hitting from behind. After ten minutes Greentree gets carted off on a stretcher. The good news is that Greentree did stand momentarily before they put him on the stretcher.
14:45…Lerg and McDonald then O'Marra and Cornet do a good job of creating turnovers in the neutral zone and not allowing the Flames PP to set up. Eberle and MacMurchy are the next forwards out and they do the same. The four healthy D-men do a great job on the backend. (Hrabel left with shoulder injury and Dudas with a knee or ankle that looked serious.) It takes the Flames 2:48 to get their first shot on this man advantage.
10:16…The major is over and the Oilers have the best chance as MacMurchy and Cornet get a two-on-one late in the penalty, but once again MacMurchy can't decide whether to shoot or pass and ends up just skating behind the net. The Oilers still don't have a shot on goal in this period.
6:55…They play "Cotton Eyed Joe" over the sound system and with Guy Flaming sitting right in front of me I have to ask if he was the guy who used to dance down the aisles at the Coliseum to this horrible song? Don't laugh. I never put two-and-two together until just now. Sadly Guy says "No", but we debate the resemblance for the next few minutes.
5:58…Our highly educated debate is ended by the Oilers' first shot of the period. A harmless one of the stick of Wild, but still worth mentioning.
4:27…MacMurchy draws a penalty and the Oilers go on the PP looking to tie the game. But they can't muster any chances, and O'Marra ends up taking a penalty 50 seconds in to negate the man advantage.
1:35…O'Marra steps out of the box and the Oilers try to muster the tying goal.
:47…Eberle gets a chance in the high slot, but his shot deflects off a Flames' stick, flutters up high and Keetley easily snags it out of the air. Coach Truitt calls a timeout, pulls Dubnyk and sends out Eberle, McDonald, Lerg, Trukno, Bisaillon and Chorney.
:15…Lerg gets a great chance in the slot but a perfect block from Aulie ends that chance.
:10..faceoff to the right of Keetley…O'Marra loses it to Armstrong and the Flames win the game 1-0.
The Oilers only muster five shots in the 3rd, while the Flames had four.
Game stars
For the Flames #56 Matt Pelech and Dubnyk takes the honours for the Oil. I'm not sure who picked these, but Keetley was great in goal for the Flames in the early going and McDonald was clearly the best Oiler. Dubynk wasn't really tested.
Tomorrow night we should see a more intense game from the Clare Drake Arena.
