The U.S. Supreme Court's voted 5-4 to strike down the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. Swing voter Anthony Kennedy joined the liberal wing of the court –Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan. Dissenting were Chief Justice John Roberts and justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito.. They also ruled that the plaintiffs in the case of Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in California, did not have the legal standing to bring that lawsuit.
The decision is expected to have major consequences on health coverage for legally married same-sex partners of federal employees and members of the military, as well as on tax treatment for private health coverage (a 2007 report from left-leaning think tank Center for American Progress and the UCLA's Williams Institute found that employees with partners pay over $1,000 more in taxes each year than their married peers). The caveat is that the ruling applies on to states where same-sex marriage is legal. New Yorkers will benefit; Pennsylvanians will not.
The ruling seems to confirm a sea change in gay rights in this century. Take American corporations which have been far more progressive than the courts on these issues. Hundreds of U.S. employers, both large and small, signed on to an amicus brief against DOMA in February, arguing that treating same-sex couples differently hurt recruiting efforts, as well as employer-employee relations. Nike, Apple and Starbucks were among the nearly 300 firms that joined in filing the brief. According to the Human Rights Coalition, a group that advocates for gay rights, 62 percent of Fortune 500 companies offer domestic partner health benefits.
DOMA barred the government from treating same-sex partners as married, raising the cost of healthcare for same-sex couples and denying them eligibility for federally guaranteed rights such as medical and family leave, and, in some cases, Medicare. In all, it denied more than 1,100 benefits to married gay and lesbian couples.
Thirteen states have or are in the process of legalizing gay marriage. They join thirteen countries around the world including Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, and Sweden.
"The principal purpose and the necessary effect of this law are to demean those persons who are in a lawful same-sex marriage," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the 5-4 decision. "This requires the Court to hold, as it now does, that DOMA is unconstitutional as a deprivation of the liberty of the person protected by the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution." Kennedy's 26-page opinion says Congress' explicit purpose in passing DOMA was to expose same-sex couples in state-sanctioned marriages to "a disadvantage, a separate status, and so a stigma," which violated the Fifth Amendment guarantee of rights to life, liberty and property.
The law also harmed these children financially, Kennedy wrote, because health benefits provided to same-sex spouses were not entitled to the same federal tax-exemptions as those of heterosexual families', creating unequal costs for same-sex households. The law also denied survivorship benefits for spouses and children through Social Security.

Right now, we're experiencing some of the most beautiful weather one could ask for, so I ask you all this: Where have you been dining outdoors this season? At home? By the waterside? On the top of a mountain? At an upper Lawrenceville Thai restaurant dominated by its pastoral picture book of a garden?
If you answered the last option, than you have most likely made a recent visit to Pusadee's Garden, a family owned Thai restaurant boasting an outdoor seating area as beautiful as its food is delicious. Time and time again, talk of Pusadee's comes back to the garden – how lovely it is, how big, how lush – and it's true that the restaurant's major asset lies in its backyard (or, rather, side-yard). That's not to say it's not exceptional in other ways, however, especially considering how well it fares against its competition just up the hill in Bloomfield…
But oh, that garden. That garden!
There's a special feeling when eating amidst such verdant beauty. You're outside, but you feel tucked away in your own private garden. There are diners all around, yet somehow it feels sublimely intimate. All around you there is distraction – a cluster of interesting flowers, an imposing thrust of green leaves as thick as the napkins on the table, a scattering of herbs all around, and of course, the frame and trellis providing a modest barrier with only the barest of woodwork. It's rustic, elegant, sophisticated gardening gone just wild enough on the edges to make one feel like you could get lost without the tables to guide your way.
To put it another way, although you're seconds away from Butler Street, you feel as if you could be dining in a garden in the middle of nowhere. It's a pastoral entrancement that translates into the meal itself.
More than uplifting the normal dining experience, the garden setting somehow accentuates the flavors of the meal. The psychic effect of so much fresh-grown flora is a heightened concentration on the fresh flavors of the food. When not distracted by the scenery, me and my dining companion, Jackie, focused in on the menu, a straightforward mix of Thai classics, including soups, curries, noodle and rice dishes, and "garden" specialties.

text: Savatage formed in Florida in 1978 as Avatar, led by brothers Jon (vocals) and Criss (guitar) Oliva. They changed their name to Savatage in 1983, pursuing a strongly Judas Priest- and Iron Maiden-influenced style of metal. Their other members included Steve "Doc" Wacholz (drums) and Keith Collins (bass), who was later replaced by Johnny Lee Middleton. They meandered between basic metal and more commercial fare before adding second guitarist Chris Caffery and hitting their stride in 1990 with Gutter Ballet. The band showed a flair for intense, melodic hard rock, dramatic balladry, and elaborate, operatic concepts, which they pursued over their next few albums. Criss Oliva was killed in an auto accident in 1993; he was replaced by former Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick, but the new lineup was ill-received. Dead Winter Dead followed in 1995, and after a three-year absence Savatage returned with The Wake of Magellan. The Final Bell appeared in 2000, and Poets and Madmen followed it in 2001. ~ Steve Huey

I recently found a bunch of lenses for scientific lab photography scattered around a dumpster at the university where I work. I scrounged all the ones that looked worth keeping and have been playing with them ever since. None of them will actually attach to my camera lenses so I have to hold them in place by hand. This shot was taken with a combination of two lenses that turn my 50mm (70mm equivalent) lens into a macro. Your Spring Shooting Challenge gave me the perfect opportunity to put it to the test. I was inspired by your cover photo and went out to the yard, laid down on the ground and shot until my battery died. I was pleasantly surprised by the clarity of the image and only had to crop a bit of vignetting. I processed it a bit in Aperture 3 et voila!

Taken with a Canon PowerShot SX10 IS while out for a walk on a somewhat dreary Sunday. Didn't feel like going on my normal walk, so I took the camera for a walk to where I knew there are flowers blooming. Out of 123 photos, this was one of three favorites. - Jeffrey Fetterman
While I was out on a overcast day, the sun decided to come out to play, opening up my eyes to my vision of spring : blooming flowers. I decided to showcase the Iris's beautiful delicate features by putting myself on the floor and using the natural sunlight to backlight the crepe-paper-like petals, leaving the petals glowing against the endless blue sky. - Jennifer Castro
Once the challenge was announced I knew I wanted to take pictures of flowers in my own yard with a Nikon Micro lens I got for my birthday two weeks ago. I went out and shot a few pictures of some pink flowers in our front yard. I wish I could describe the flower more, but as a guy I know very little about flower types. Anyways, I really liked the center of this flower, in particular the orange and silverish accents. The silver portions looked like they were shining back at me, which I really liked. I cropped the photo a bit to keep the center of the flower in the center of the shot.Nikon D3100 AF-S Micro Nikkor 40mm lens f/6.3 Exposure time 1/60 sec ISO 400 - Jerardo Arciniega
My one year old son and I were taking an afternoon walk in the park (Gainesville, FL) when he found this large green caterpillar. I was able to get a few shots of the bug before my son started to play with it. Camera Nikon D7000 Lens: VR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G 300mm – ISO 100 1/250s – f/7.1 - Jimmy Webb
Weather is sporadic in the SF Bay Area, and it's been raining a lot, even though it's officially Spring. I decided to step outside and snap some photos of water droplets on plants. You know, nature stuff. Then I saw the rain - which was coming down heavily at this point - on the glass table in the backyard. I love the way the droplets look as they broke against the surface with some of the water bouncing back up. I wanted to capture as much of the rain falling as I could, so I set the camera to 1/2500 and to compensate for the poor light I opened the f-stop almost all the way, along with setting the ISO pretty high at 3200 (which was probably a little too high considering the grain I got as a result).

Around the stairs leading to my house we have about 15 magnolia trees and my mother had been forcing me to take a picture of it. Then the morning I was going to take the pictures I saw the shooting challenge on Gizmodo and made this a project. Using Canon 600D Canon 50mm F1.8 II 1/4000 F1.8 ISO 100 - Joel Hempenius
I was out shooting in the woods near my house, hoping for a little sun, but the weather wouldn't play nice. I returned home and was getting out of my car when the coulds parted, the sun hitting some grape hyacinths that had taken over my garden. There's a purple heather in the background. I remembered seeing the spring challenge and thought, well, this might work out... Sony SLT-A65V, 1/125 @ f/6.3, ISO 100, Tamron 50-300 lens. - Julian De Puma
I call this photo "Frances", after a close family friend who died the day I took this picture. I got the call in the morning, left work, spent time with my family grieving, and then went for a walk to be alone with my thoughts and my camera. Camera: Nikon D3100 Lens: 18-55mm Kit Lens (My walking around lens) ISO: 100 - Justin Beck
When I think of spring, I think of budding flowers and pretty colors. I went outside my building and there was a flower bush with bright pink buds everywhere and I just thought it was very pretty and I loved how vibrant the color was. The camera setting for this photo was .4 sec at f/3.5 at 90 mm with ISO at 400. Since the colors are so bright on their own I didn't do any post processing. - Katrina Giusti
At a butterfly preserve in Florida, I found this one colorful butterfly resting on a leaf nearby the fountain. I set up the shot to include the butterfly in the foreground with a large aperture to blur the fountain in the background. The framing allowed a contrast between the butterfly's wings and the water of the pond. Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark II Lens: EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Settings: f/4 105mm 1/125 ISO 250 - Kumar Ilangovan
Last Thursday I went out and took some great pictures of a blossoming tree and some flowers during my lunch break at work. Then Friday during lunch I see the new shooting challenge is Spring, so I went out again and took some more pictures! One of my favorite pictures from the day before was the white blossoms against the blue sky, so I went for the same thing again, along with a lot of pictures of bees. Today my wife and I went hiking and I took pictures of some wildflowers. I let her pick her favorite picture from the two days for this shooting challenge, and this is the one she chose. I hope you like it as well! The picture was taken with a Canon 60D and a 55-250mm F/4-5.6 telephoto lens at 250mm, f/5.6, 1/1000 sec, and ISO 100. The camera was hand held. - Logan Thomas
I originally considered submitting a shot of the famous cherry blossoms on my school campus at University of Washington, but I thought this little blue flower did better in capturing the essence of the rainy spring of the Pacific Northwest. I shot this with my Olympus E-PL1 with the 14-42mm lens. F/5, 1/100sec, ISO 500, focal length at 26mm, and edited in Lightroom. - Lucas Lin
Taken during an impromptu trip to the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY while gingerly avoiding the bumble bees and daffodils on the ground, stealthily hiding from the squirrels as not to disturb them, and waiting patiently for the spring breeze to stop. Taken with a Canon PowerShot ELPH 100 HS
focal length: 5mm f/2.8, 1/1250 shutter ISO 100 - Marie Burio
Last fall, my father and I found a great sale on a variety of tulip bulbs at Lowe's. I had been wanting to plant some tulips in my backyard since I was able to move into a place with an actual yard. In total we planted close to 300 bulbs in a small patch of ground on the side of my house. Since then I've been waiting for spring to arrive to see all of them bloom. Enter Spring. The tulips first started flowering a few weeks ago and I've been tempted to play around with some macro photos. This contest gave me an excuse to do that. I've let the camera do all the hard work since I'm still trying to figure out how to take good photos. I took quite a few pictures, but this was by far the best. Camera: Canon PowerShot G12 F-stop: f/4 ISO: 80 Macro setting, camera auto-adjust. - Mark McNiff
taken with my Sony A55 with a 70-200mm zoom lens@180mm and the mode switched to macro. I also used a ND4/ND8 and soft contrast filter. These buds are from my Hostas that just broke the ground this week. the winter has been mild enough that even though we left them in the ground this winter, they seem fine. - Marvin Francois
Growing up in Charleston, SC when Spring starts the trees and grass begin to turn an extremely vibrant green, and nothing screams the start of Spring like Easter. Easter eggs bring back memories of hunting for them when I was a child. This was shot with a Canon Rebel XSi with an 18-55mm lens. The settings were ISO 200, 1/5 second, and F-stop 22 at 18mm focal length. Some minor adjustments in Adobe Lightroom. - Matthew Bailey
I headed out to the park with some friends on one of the sunniest days of the year to get some shots with a new lens. (Sun in March is extremely rare in England!) When I saw a tree full of blossom I thought that this represented spring perfectly. I changed the lens to a faster focusing one and when I was snapping away when the wind started to blow some petals off the flowers so I took a few quick shots and this was the best. Taken of a Sony A77 with 15-50 f2.8 SSM kit lens @ ISO100, 50mm, f/2.8 and 1/400 shutter. - Matthew Phillips
After reading the challenge, a friend of mine suggested taking a picture of a spring. He was joking, but I did just that. After handing me a spring I threw it in the grass and continued taking pictures of it using a point and shoot until I got the angle I liked. The photo suggests mother nature is overtaking machines due to the return of spring and the continued efforts to go green. Polaroid i236 1/250 sec. ISO-100 F/3 - Michael Eicholtz
I decided to take advantage of the pleasant weather this past Sunday afternoon by going on a hike near my home in Central Ohio when I remembered this weeks challenge. I took a number of photos but in the end this dandelion turned out the best, and when they start popping up through the grass you know spring has truly begun. Canon EOS Rebel T1i Shutter Speed 0.003 sec (1/400) Aperture f/9.0 ISO 100 Lens EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II - Michael Fisher
Perfect timing for this challenge! It's Spring in Scottsdale, Arizona, and the citrus are all in bloom. Our mature grapefruit tree is full of open flowers, and the air is vibrating with the humming and buzzing of all the insects out for a spring feeding. This one paused just long enough to look me in the eye... Canon 50D, 100mm f/2.8 macro, shot at ISO 320, f/16, 1/250s, with Speedlite 430EX off-camera - Mitch Ross
This is the first shooting challenge for me. Spring is one of my four favorite seasons, and I love shooting pictures in it. I took this shot this morning, right outside a minor league stadium. The groundskeepers must enjoy daffodils, as there were dozens upon dozens of them planted there. I put my camera on a tripod about a foot off the ground, and focused on a group of flowers that seemed to have personality. Canon EOS 7D Lens: EF 50mm 1.4 F/1.4 1/3200 sec. ISO-100 50 mm - Moshe Gluck
When I think of spring, I think less of flowers and more of animals. Here is my recently adopted spring baby, galloping towards me. Spring is good weather, green grass, and happiness, and that is everything this picture is. EF 50mm 1.4 1/1600 sec, f/2.8, ISO 400 - Nick Badger
Shot with a tripod mounted 7D and 100mm f/2.8 Macro L at 1/200 of a second, f/5.0, ISO 200. I work at a local green house, and the blooming tulips caught my eye yesterday while I was at work. Stopped by after school today before I even heard about the challenge to take some photos, and this shot is the best of the bunch. - Paul Bierworth
Yesterday afternoon in Seattle, WA was one of the most memorable afternoons this spring since we saw a glimpse of sun rays through the scattered rain clouds. Having been indoors all day watching the end of the NCAA semi-finals game (Louisville vs. Kentucky), I decided to peek outside and everything was shiny since it had rained most of the day. The scene was like a glimmer of hope for a sunny SPRING in the mist of typical wet, overcast Seattle weather. The golden moss and flower stood out to me against the dull cement ledge in my backyard. Using the green grass and wooden fences in the background, I snapped the shot focusing on the moss. The white flowers were an awesome addition to the shot. Loved the composition of the photo with no alteration just simply RAW. I hope you like it as much. Canon EOS 60D 18-135 mm lens at Focal Length: 87.00 mm Aperture: 8.0 Exposure time: 1/159 ISO: 160 No Flash - Rene Rodriguez Lara
I took a trip to Chicago this week with my wonderful girlfriend Marisa. The city went all out for spring and if there was a public flower bed it probably has covered with tulips. There was a couple patches in Millennium Park that really stood out for their color in the gray misty. Marisa pointed out the yellow egg shaped tulip in and amongst the others and really wanted a picture of it. Along with the focus, subtle leading lines the yellow stands out. All the color in this picture really is that striking, I converted it directly with no adjustments in Nikon's ViewNX. Nikon D90, VR 18-200mm ISO 1600, 1/1600s, F/5. - Robert Bejarano

May 01, 2012 | By Bruce Martin
After opening the GRAND-AM Road Racing season with a victory March 31 at Barber Motorsports Park, the Chevrolet Corvette made it two wins in a row April 29 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, giving the American automotive icon reason to boast about its success in all forms of racing in 2012.
Not only is Chevrolet 2-0 in GRAND-AM, but the Chevrolet Indy V6 has won all four races in the IZOD IndyCar Series this season, and Chevrolet drivers have won three of the nine NASCAR Sprint Cup races so far in 2012.
Chevrolet will be the only engine manufacturer to compete in both the Indianapolis 500 in May and the Kroger "Super Weekend at the Brickyard" in July.
Under rainy conditions, Ricky Taylor and Max Angelelli put team owner Wayne Taylor's No. 10 SunTrust Racing Chevrolet Corvette into victory lane in the DP class at Homestead. The No. 5 Action Express Corvette finished third, with the No. 90 Spirit of Daytona Corvette fifth. The No. 9 Action Express Corvette was eighth in class, 26th overall, and the No. 99 GAINSCO Bob Stallings Racing Corvette was ninth in class, 27th overall, after it suffered mechanical failure.
"Really, Max did all the work," Ricky Taylor said after driving the car to victory. "He had to come all the way up from ninth, and all I had to do was stay where I was. I inherited two positions from the No. 90, and I think it was the No. 8 getting together. And then all I had to do was hold onto it, an already great SunTrust Corvette. I think the team knew more weather was coming. They anticipated that, and they knew what the GRAND-AM officials would do if that happened. So, it was a great team effort."
Angelelli drove like a "man on a mission" during his stint in the Corvette during the rain.
"I was taking my time; one at a time, because I needed to see what was happening in front of me," he said. "And the car was really good, anyway, so that made everything possible."
Taylor's team "reigned" because of the South Florida "rain" that added another dimension to the race.
"I remember when we were driving down from Orlando the other day with Max and Ricky, and we said, 'You know, what would be the best thing to happen in Miami would be if it rains,' thinking that would never happen," Wayne Taylor said. "And it rained, and we did what we thought we were going to do."
By switching the driving order with Angelelli leading off and Taylor taking over for the final stint, it put plenty of pressure on the team owner's son.
"I was sitting there and Max (Angelelli, teammate) had to start from the back," Ricky said. "He did all the work, really. He came all the way up to third. I had to get in the car in third. I was hoping at least the pressure would be off a little bit, coming through the back I would take my time. No, he gave me the car right in the front."
The Corvette street car is one of the most iconic rides in American history and has paced the Indianapolis 500 numerous times. And while Chevrolet engines have powered the winning car to victory in both the Indianapolis 500 and the NASCAR race at the Brickyard, the Corvette will finally get a chance to actually race at Indy during the Kroger "Super Weekend at the Brickyard" as the GRAND-AM series makes its Indianapolis Motor Speedway debut.
"It is fantastic to see our new Corvette Daytona Prototype in the winner's circle with a second consecutive victory, said Jim Lutz, Chevrolet Racing GRAND-AM program manager. "Keen strategy and great teamwork by Ricky Taylor, Max Angelelli and (team owner) Wayne Taylor, plus all the folks at SunTrust Racing, made it happen today."

Then in 1994 the computer entered my life.
The contradiction between limitation on the one hand, unlimited freedom and no physical borders on the other hand, created new impulses and insights to explore the possibilities of the medium. My fascination for this platform was born.
I have travelled a long way obtaining the necessary technical skills,studying and experiecing the do's and the don;ts, preparing and presenting concepts of visual artists for the web. It has now become the art form for myself to express and to tell my story.
The images, the words, the colours, the sounds, the motions, they're all ready there. It is like a palet with paint, a keyboard characters,covered with jpg., gif, wave, MP3,mov., doc. and other files. They're at my disposition and I will put them in a new, different context. They form the remains of my travels trough my mind, the virtual world, the real world and life.

A guide to guards
Nicoline van Harskamp has done an extensive research on both public and private security guards and police forces in Amsterdam, Glasgow, Berlin, The Hague, Istanbul, London, and Rotterdam. Her project was different for each city.
The Istanbul version addressed issues of (the privatisation of) street surveillance with a group photo shoot of different private guards, a video piece and a "Little Guide to Istanbul guards" booklet.
In the Turkish city every street is �owned� by the people that live and work there. Many Istanbulites pass the time waiting and watching. This system of urban social monitoring makes the city with 15 million people virtually street crime and vandalism free. Nevertheless, (military) police officers, municipal guards and soldiers also have a strong public presence.
An unusually high number of private security people is present around public spaces like parks and bridges. There is no formal legislation restricting the privatisation of public safety and the guards themselves have no more rights or power than any other person in the street.
Her Istanbul video documented an experiment for which van Harskamp employed two men to spend 12 hours in the streets doing nothing. The team was dressed in special uniforms and wore false I.D. cards. They became traffic police on busy crossings, Zabita officers on Galata bridge, tourism police in Sultanahmet, boat attendants on the ferry, etc. and the public reacted to them accordingly. The team surprisingly easily made friends with other uniformed people. Hands were being shaken with police officers, soldiers and �colleagues� from special security companies. Some of them just wanted to know how much they were earning and if they could get a job with the company.
More on private guards, but in Mexico this time:

The Peoples Poppy
The People's Poppy, a unique new piece of art by artist Helen Marshall, commissioned by the British Legion. The 6 x 6 metre poppy is made up of thousands of contributed individual images that each illustrate the work of the British Legion and marks the launch of the Legion's new campaign, Poppy Support.
Light Tracer
Light Tracer, developed by Karl D.D. Willis, invites the participant to write, doodle, draw and trace images in physical space using light sources.
These light sources are tracked by a camera, and displayed over the participant's own image onscreen. How participants use the system is left entirely up to them; however it is possible to write messages, draw pictures or trace physical objects such as your face or hand.
How it works: Participants are in front of a screen reflecting the whole imagery and presented with a series of lights shources of various sizes. By pointing lights over the screen and turning them on and off, they can leave marks on the screen. Participants can also use their own light emiting devices, such as mobile phones or camera flashes, to make or trace objects on the screen. The imagery created is shown in layers which fade over time but are archived and displayed both on a second screen and on the web. Of course different participants entering the space can interact not only with the system but also play with each other or collaborate on a drawing.
Part of the inspiration came from the work of Myron Krueger, who from 1969 onwards developed Videoplace, an augmented reality art system that focused on �unencumbered full-body participation.� The Digital Drawing module of Videoplace, in particular, allowed the user to draw on screen using their finger and erase the picture by opening their hand.
Research paper (PDF 640K). The videos on the website are pretty impressive.
If you're in Italy this summer, you can experience Light Tracer at BIP - Building Interactive Playgrounds, a festival for interaction design projects for public spaces and events. Part of Elettrowave, Arezzo, July 14-15 2006.
Bellhead by Henrique Roscoe, Brazil
Vj 1mpar is a project from the designer, musician and digital artist Henrique Roscoe. Abstract shapes and vetorial drawings make the basis of the project, that, apart from most VJs, doesn�´t use a camera to record the footages. All the videos and animations are selfmade constructions, built entirelly on the computer, or drawed by hand and scanned.

Rounding Gurney Bend, the Killer was on a mission. We had just nailed turns 4 and 5, hitting the apexes perfectly, and I was busy applying throttle and unwinding the wheel when I clicked the Camaro into Fourth gear. It was pulling hard now, with the braking zone markers coming up fast on the left side of the track. Throttle off, brakes on, pedal directly to the floor. "Uh, Matt, we don't have any brakes…" Yep, the moment every road racer fears had just happened to me. The brake pedal dropped all the way down to the sheet-metal, no braking effort could be felt at all, and the STI Killer was heading right into the hairpin at well over a hundred miles an hour. "DOWNSHIFT!" yelled Matt, who was simultaneously tightening his 5-point harness and wondering why he agreed to instruct me on this session. From Fifth gear, Second seemed like the next best choice, even if it meant over revving the engine and locking up the rear tires. The noise that followed was incredible, as was the feeling of the ring gear shearing teeth off of itself while trying to deal with the massive load we had just placed on it. But the Camaro was slowing down now and the wall wasn't as close as we thought. Past the turn-in we went, heading down into the runoff area that Sebring kept for this exact reason. Twenty miles an hour now, another downshift, slowing even more, and the brakes are finally coming back around. I hadn't taken a breath since this debacle started and my heart was beating at what felt like 2,000 beats per minute, but we were alive and the Camaro was still in one piece. The rush was incredible and the only thought left was, "I hope we can fix this and get back out on track soon!"
That's how good this type of open track event is. Even facing what could have been a "major incident," all I wanted to do was get everything sorted out, change my shorts, and get back in for the next session. Twenty minutes may not seem like a very long time, but when you're out on track, it's the best 20 minutes of the day. Yes, even possibly compared to that other 20 – okay, 10 – minute activity that we're also so fond of. And the best part is that anyone can get in on this action, and you certainly don't need a full on racecar to do it. Heck, we've seen enthusiasts run an entire weekend in a rental car. It's just not that important what you're in as long as you are on track and having a blast. And that's one of the best parts about a Track Guys event, this crew just wants everyone to have a good time, drive safe, and learn all that they can. With run groups for every possible student, including many who have never been on a racetrack in their lives, the Track Guys group has got you covered, no matter your experience. If you recall our last event, we started in Group 2, where we covered the classroom instruction, on-track driving, and instructor led laps. This year, we graduated to Group 3, which allowed us to drive the track with or without an instructor, giving us time to learn on our own or with some help if need be. For the pros in the group, Track Guys offers a Group 4, which is the real deal for track hounds looking for the ultimate on-track thrill. Now, we're not sure what kind of experience you have, but we know there is a group for you, so the real question is, why weren't you out there with us?
With safety and education as the main focus, each day starts out with a mandatory driver safety meeting, which gives everyone a chance to go over the rules and ask any questions they may have. Jef Lacina, Track Guys owner and lead instructor, spends a considerable amount of time each morning going over the rules, regulations, and flags, which is extremely helpful to both novice and experienced drivers alike.
After two exciting days at Sebring with the Track Guys Performance Driving school, we left with much more skill than we entered with, a ton of on-track driving time, a wicked sunburn, and the STI Killer in (almost) one piece. That's what you get when you run with a quality driving event and it's what keeps us coming back year after year. Now if only we could get back out on track sooner!

5 Steps To Giving Feedback Without Sounding Mean
This article is a reprint of Wise Bread's contribution to OPEN Forum from American Express -- where small business owners can get advice from experts and share tips with each other.
It can be tricky when offering feedback. Egos can get hurt and relationships can get strained. However, there are ways to offer constructive yet gentle feedback.
Build trust and mutal respect.
If you anticipate that you will be giving feedback to someone on a regular basis, either throughout a project or during a long period of employment, start building trust before you offer critiques. Let the potential recipient know that you appreciate her abilities, respect her knowledge, and value her insights — and be specific about those things that you most admire.
Your goal is to reveal your mindset and priorities so that she can understand your perspective and motivations in providing feedback, which should involve:
- Showing that you are really paying attention to this person, not just looking at the surface or listening to what every one else is saying;
- Conveying that you recognize this person's unique strengths and want to build upon those strengths; and by implication, perceive opportunities for dealing with weaknesses.
This step is intended to be genuine, not manipulative. The appreciation, respect, and value you express should be real.
Be consistently straightforward and supportive.
Try not to be the person who always dodges controversy or sometimes sugarcoats problems.
Drawing on their history with you, those who receive your feedback should expect that you will give objective and constructive comments, every time. Be unequivocally honest. You don't want people to anticipate wrongly that your feedback will be uniformly positive without regard for the merit of whatever design, presentation, or service for which you are giving feedback.
This consistency helps to assure that those requesting feedback know that they will receive advice, not blind affirmation. As a result, you won't have to deal with unreasonable expectations or be overly concerned about others' emotional states.
Ask, "What are you trying to accomplish?"
Discover first what someone hopes to achieve. Then you can provide feedback that improves the potential for success in realizing a well-defined goal. Talk about strengths and shortcomings of a proposal, idea, or project in the context of achieving objectives and reaching target audiences, not in terms of personal preferences. Note which features contribute to accomplishment and which are counterproductive.
By getting an understanding of purpose, your feedback can hone in on specific actions that support goal attainment. Though any criticism may make the person receiving feedback flinch, her longer-term reaction will show you whether she is married to an idea she hatched or truly desires a specific outcome.
Determine specific areas of struggle.
After getting the feedback recipient to define her goal, find out what she perceives to be her obstacles. It's very likely that she will tell you precisely where she struggles. Your feedback should help her to deal with these specific areas of concern.
Pinpointing problems may provide the clarity that your feedback requestor needs to devise a solution without your input. If your guidance is still needed, narrowly defining an issue can shape dialogue about the usefulness of your recommendations.
Reflecting on my situation, I could have been more specific in my request for feedback. Based on previous conversations plus the questions, my friend could judge where help was most needed: specifically, a format that would make my request for support obvious but also allow me to tell a story to engage my audience, help them to better understand my mission, and get others involved. My friend intuitively saw my struggle. Her feedback involved modifying the letter format and removing some technical details that may have confused readers.
Get feedback on your feedback.
When giving feedback, you should have naturally explained what the feedback — if implemented properly — should accomplish, improve, or fix. Your feedback recipient may have an epiphany based on your conversation, in which case, you may get immediate response on the value of your insights. Or, she may blindly follow your recommendations, unsure about your wisdom but willing to make a change.
Either way, find out whether the project, proposal, letter achieved its desired outcomes, and whether your feedback drove or hindered its success. By learning about results, you can judge the quality of your interactions and the usefulness of your advice. Were goals appropriately defined? Were struggles identified? Knowing what worked well and what didn't can improve future feedback.

Super Mario was one of the first games I ever played on our now-defunct Nintendo Family Computer. If you played video games in the eighties and nineties, then I'm sure you've probably had a go or two at Super Mario yourself.
A custom level of Super Mario was built especially for the recent GamesCon that was held in Germany, where 974 people played the game simultaneously. Every screen was recorded and then compiled into one video for no particular reason. Other than the fact that it's admittedly entertaining to watch how close to a thousand people can play the same game so differently.
You can check the video out after the break.

Kills in ICC10 - with only druids. Is that in the catagory is EU First? Eventhough it has been done before as normal raids, however not as an all-Druid raid.
My guild has cleared a lot of Bosses in ICC10 - I have not found any videos or posts yet, about kills in ICC, with only druids. And we started a couple of months back doing ICC with our guild. (which is an all-druid guild)
We have cleared 5 bosses so far. And we have videos for each kill.

"There is no use shutting our eyes to tho fact that the soviet ia dissatisfied with Japanese activity in Northern Manchuria," the spokesman added. ''Now that soviet troop concentrations have been completed, the Reds are resorting to provocative acts against Japan." JAPANESE STATEMENT "I know' o; nothing to cause a clash, but lt cannot be denied that ln the event the soviet and the Manchukuous clash, Japan wili intervene. If there are any More acts such as the wrecking of Uie troop train, they might bring the most serious consequences.

There is no doubt that seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim, as has been authentically reported from Al-Mustafa.
Seeking knowledge has its principles and its stages; so whoever fails to acquire or seek knowledge based on these principles and on this gradation of talab al-'ilm (seeking knowledge) such will fail to acquire it.
And this is an issue we repeatedly emphasize hoping to drive this into the hearts of the students of knowledge and those who ove knowledge, and that is to acquire knowledge piecemeal, bit by bit , over the passage of time.
As was said by the famous scholar Ibn Shihab Az-Zuhri, "Whoever aims to acquire knowledge all at once, it will leave him all at once.

Recent linux versions (yes, I'm talking kernel here – linux is not an operating system) introduce new IDE drivers. It implies a device naming convention change. Instead of hda, hdb, etc, you get sda, sdb, etc, just like SCSI drives.
I have three hard disks on my main workstation – plenty of partitions. So in my case, it makes sense to use a unique identifier for each partition so nothing breaks up whenever I add/remove a drive or boot on an older kernel with the previous IDE drivers.
There are already uniques ids for each partition available using the command blkid. It returns unbearables and meaningless, but very uniques, ids like af8485cf-de97-4daa-b3d9-d23aff685638.
So it is best, for me at least, to label partitions properly according to their content and physical disposition, which makes for uniques id too in the end.
For ext3 partitions, I just did:
e2label /dev/sda2 sg250debian64
e2label /dev/sda3 sg250home
For the swap, e2label cannot help, so we set the label with mkswap, recreating it:
swapoff /dev/sda1
mkswap -L sg250swap /dev/sda1
swapon -L sg250swap
For ntfs partitions, I did:
apt-get install ntfsprogs
ntfslabel /dev/sdb1 hi150suxor
ntfslabel /dev/sdb2 hi150suxor2
Then, /etc/fstab must be edited as:
LABEL=sg250swap none swap sw 0 0
LABEL=sg250debian64 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1
LABEL=sg250home /home ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=hi150suxor /mnt/suxor ntfs-3g defaults,user,noauto 0 0
LABEL=hi150suxor2 /mnt/suxor2 ntfs-3g defaults,user,noauto 0 0
Finally, grub (or any other boot loader) config should be updated to reflect that. However, unless I'm mistaken, with grub2 as shipped by debian, everything is generated usings scripts that does not seem to handle labels 😦

We are aware that getting to Juneau is expensive. This is the case, notably, because there are no roads in or out, so one must arrive via air or water. Despite the fact that Alaska Airlines is the only major commercial airline serving Juneau, flying remains the cheapest way to get here. We have negotiated a 7% discount on Alaska Airlines tickets for conference attendees. (enter Discount Code: ECCMB2577 prior to checkout if you book online)
The Alaska Airlines Visa card is also an excellent way to save money. Successful applicants for this card get 25,000 frequent flyer miles--enough, in some cases, to get you to Juneau outright. The card also comes with a "companion fare," which enables you to travel with a friend and get a second ticket for $99 instead of the full fare.
The ferry system, known as the Alaska Marine Highway, is a relaxing and fun way to get to Juneau as well. While the 3 day trip from Bellingham, WA is cheaper than a commercial cruise, airfare is generally cheaper than a ferry ticket.
Around town: Capital Transit is a popular mode of transportation for locals and visitors. There are also bus tour operators, taxis and limo services.
Rental cars: most rental agencies are located at the Juneau airport.
Bicycle: there are plenty of bike trails, and there are bikes available for rent through Cycle Alaska.
More details will be posted later, as questions/suggestions arise.For more information about our beautiful city, things to do and see, places to stay, places to eat, visit Juneau Convention & Visitors Bureau.

The weekend is coming to an end for us and it was a much needed break from 'having' to be somewhere or 'having' to do something. We enjoyed a little shopping, a party or two, yummy food, Redbox movies, friends, planting flowers, sewing and hanging curtains. Maybe one day soon I'll actually have our house put together to show y'all. For now just enjoy some photos of our weekend.

Victorian in New England
Wanted to give a little preview of our new home. For now, it's just the outside. It's true, we live in New England in a home that was built in 1901 or 1905. It's like a little dream come true.

Walmart breaks my Heart.
There are so many reasons to dislike Walmart. If the closest Target wasn't 25 miles away and gas was $4.30 a gallon- we would NEVER walk inside a Walmart. But living in the "quiet side" of Connecticut that's our best/only option 95% of the time. We walked in the other day and were greeted by this older man and it simply broke my heart. Why do these senior citizen's have to work? Much less at Walmart? I hate it. If I could I would wrap them up and bring them home with me. Also, seeing young couples shopping together with a new born and carefully looking at each item before placing into their cart makes me truly grateful for what I have in my life. Baby or no baby.

Don't Stop Believin'
*I was called to be the Young Women's (girls ages 12-18)President (we plan activities and Sunday lessons) in our ward (congregation). I couldn't be more excited. I'm having a hard time finding ideas that I actually like online so I might start sharing the ones I come up with (if I'm so lucky!).
