While Photoshop is a great tool for a lot of tasks, most of them center around the sizing, manipulation, and processing of digital images. While their contents may vary, all digital images are essentially the same: They are composed of pixels that contain color and luminance information. Photoshop's powerful features will allow you to adjust those pixels to better match your needs.
Pixels in detail: When we zoom into the image at 1600% magnification, the pixels are very easy to see. You can open the photo Car in Mirror.tif from the Chapter 3 folder and use the Zoom tool (Z) to magnify the image.
While the destination may be the same, the path your digital images take to get inside of Photoshop will vary. Some may start out as digital images acquired with a still camera, while others may get loaded via a scanner. You may also find yourself turning to online resources to find specialized images. Let's take a look at the many ways to acquire your digital images.
Digital Cameras
This book will not teach you how to use your digital camera. There are many excellent books on that subject as well as classes offered. What we will address is how the pixels are converted, what file format you should choose to shoot your images, and how to transfer them to your computer.
Digital Camera Technology
Shooting a photo digitally produces a less accurate image than scanning a photo shot on film and scanned with a flatbed scanner using a high SPI setting. This is because digital cameras capture data using photosensitive electronic sensors. These sensors record brightness levels on a per-pixel basis. However, these sensors usually are covered with a patterned color filter that has red, green, and blue areas. While the filter attempts to capture all detail that the lens sees, it is unable to due to its design.
The filter used is usually the Bayer filter arrangement, which contains two green pixels and one red and one blue. The Bayer filter uses more green because the human eye has increased sensitivity to green. This filter allows the image to record the brightness of a single primary color (red, green, or blue) as digital cameras work in the RGB color space. The RGB values combine using the additive color theory (which we briefly discussed in Chapter 1, "Digital Imaging Fundamentals") and form an image when viewed from a suitable distance.
The Bayer filter arrangement uses an arrangement of red, green, and blue pixels and is very common in digital cameras. There are more green pixels because the human eye is more sensitive to green information.
Since not all traditional camera functions can be fully imitated by the computer sensors in a digital camera, the camera must interpolate the color information of neighboring pixels. This averaging produces an anti-aliased image, which can show visible softening. When anti-aliasing is present, hard edges are blended into one another. Sometimes this can be desirable (with low-resolution Internet graphics where you reduce file size by limiting color). Other times, anti-aliasing can produce an undesirable softness when you print an image. Depending on the colors in the original image, a digital camera may only capture as little as one-fourth of the color detail. For example, if you had a scene like a desert with a great detail of red, and little green or blue, the sensor would rely on the red areas of the filter (which only cover a fourth of the sensor face).
Am I saying to shoot film only? Of course not... I shoot both. What is important is to shoot for what you need; there are strengths and weakness to both film and digital (as well as several stylistic decisions as well). Ultimately, film captures a high-quality image that can be optically enlarged using the negative. However, digital can be more convenient and affordable as you get instant feedback on the images you have just taken, and you eliminate the time-consuming process and costs associated with developing the film. It is just important to note that you should shoot at a higher pixel count (which can be accomplished by telling the camera to shoot a high- or best-quality mode). You can always crop or shrink the image down for output or display, but you should avoid having to enlarge the image as this will create unwanted softness or pixelization (a visible blockiness) in the image.
Shooting JPEG vs. RAW
When digital cameras became commercially available, the memory cards used to store pictures were very expensive. Photographers could not afford multiple or high-capacity cards, so they wanted more images to fit on a single, smaller card. Many users also emailed their pictures to friends and family. Smaller file size enabled consumers who lacked an understanding of digital imaging to attach photos to email with minimum technical headaches. With these two scenarios in place, manufacturers turned to an Internet-friendly format, JPEG. It was a proven technology and one that was familiar to many users.
The Joint Photographic Experts Group ( JPEG) format is extremely common as most hardware and software manufacturers have built support for it into their products. The JPEG format is also extremely efficient at compressing images, and it is a good format for continuous tone images, such as photos. A JPEG file looks for areas where pixel detail is repeated, such as the color white on every key of your computer keyboard. The file can then discard repeated information and tell the computer to repeat certain color values or data to re-create the image.
Many digital cameras allow you to shoot JPEG (left) and RAW (right) simultaneously. This is helpful for photographers who are in transition and learning how to switch to RAW as they have a JPEG safety around for ease of mind.
While JPEG is a good format for distributing images (due to their compatibility and small file size), it is not great for image acquisition or production. A JPEG file is lossy, as every time you modify it in Photoshop, and resave, additional compression is applied to the image. Over subsequent compressions, the image quality can noticeably deteriorate. This is similar to the act of making a photocopy of another photocopy: Additional image deterioration occurs with each processing step. The visible loss in image detail or accuracy is referred to as compression artifacts.
The JPEG Options box is present when you work with a JPEG in Photoshop. You can adjust the Quality slider to reduce file size. It is a good idea to leave Quality set to maximum if you are going to make changes to the image; this applies the least compression that could hurt the image's appearance.
So, if JPEG is so bad, why do so many people use it? Money and resistance to change are the simple answers. It's a lot cheaper to shoot JPEG images, as you don't need to buy as many memory cards. Additionally, even many pros have been slow to abandon JPEGs. Learning how to use new technology requires time, something that most people are short of these days.
This shot was captured as both a Raw and a JPEG file when it was shot. The picture was taken with a Nikon D70, which can write both files to the memory card when shooting.
Newer digital cameras, generally the pro models, offer a newer format called raw. This newer format has several benefits over shooting to JPEG. The images are usually captured at a higher bit rate, which means that the pixels contain more information about the color values in the image. Most raw files have a depth of 12 bits (or 16 bits) per channel instead of the 8 used by JPEG. This raw format also has a greater tonal range, hence better exposure for shadows and highlights. This extra information will make your work in Photoshop easier as it adds greater flexibility and control in image adjustments and color correction. You should have less work to do as well, since the image captured more detail than a JPEG would have.
Raw files can be two to six times larger than JPEG files. This extra data is used to hold more image detail. This can reduce, or even eliminate, compression artifacts. However, that extra data can take longer for the files to write to the memory card.
The raw file captures the unprocessed data from the camera's image sensor. While your camera may contain settings for sharpness, exposure, or lighting conditions, the raw file stores that info as modifiable information, and captures the original (unmodified) data that came through your camera's sensors. Each manufacturer treats the format differently, using a proprietary format. Fortunately, Photoshop frequently updates its raw technology to support the newest cameras on the market. To find out if you can access a particular camera format from within Photoshop, visit Adobe's Web site (www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html).
Because the raw data is unprocessed, you must essentially "develop" the image data inside of Photoshop. You'll be presented with several choices when opening a raw image. You can choose to adjust several options related to the image, as well as the lens and lighting conditions. You can "tweak" the image after shooting it (as opposed to JPEG, which is limited to the settings you had when shooting).
The Adobe Camera RAW dialog box is a versatile environment for "developing" your pictures. The image Peppers. NEF is included on the DVD if you'd like to explore. Just choose File > Open and navigate to the file in the Chapter 3 folder.
The raw dialog box has continued to evolve since it was first introduced as a purchased add-on to Photoshop 7. Subsequent versions of Photoshop have continued to modify the user interface. To help you learn about these options, your safest bet is to read the many entries in the Adobe Help Center. Fortunately, the Camera RAW dialog box is fairly intuitive, especially once you understand the concepts of adjusting images. Once you have completed Chapter 10, "Color Correction," you should feel much more confident using the options in the Camera RAW dialog box.
Acquiring Images from a Digital Camera
There are two major ways of downloading images from a digital camera. Which connection type you choose will depend upon your work environment and budget for additional hardware.
The first method involves plugging the camera directly into the computer. Many cameras ship with a connecting cable (generally USB). The advantage of this approach is that it doesn't require an extra hardware purchase. The primary disadvantages of this method are that it ties up the camera and it is hard on delicate ports built into the camera. If you break the USB port by constantly plugging and unplugging a camera, it can lead to an expensive service bill. The data port is interconnected with several other systems on the camera; a break at one end can result in problems in other areas.
A better option is to purchase a stand-alone memory card reader. There are many options available, so ask yourself a few questions and choose wisely:

Love the name, and she is pretty cute! We had bunnies growing up but they were OUTSIDE pets. I'm twitching a little that you're letting Penny live inside (I have issues, and you know that) but I'm proud of you for making your kids happy.
Sorry the Sheriff took the other bunny. Maybe Penny can get a friend soon. ;)

Oh..its me...the bunny-lady again. My fave bunny of ALL time was a mini-Holland lop. you will LOVE this bunny. Mine followed my kids around like a puppy. We had Flops for 6 years.Sweetest pet EVER.
Multiple bunnies are more complicated than you can imagine...so good you just got the one.
Once...we had three bunnies at once. My son was holding sweet Flops in his arms. One of the other bunnies was hopping at his feet..when it sudden lept into the air attacking Flops and hung for a few seconds with its teeth onto Flops nose! There were witnesses who saw this or I would not have believed it myself.
Thankfully, our city had a bunny adoption center. When I took that rabbit to the center...it *hissed* at me!
Morale of story for me...be content with the awesome Flops!!!

Oh so precious, that cutie pie Penny.
I had a mean rabbit that I won at a County Fair Carnival once. He tried to bite me....but I'm pretty sure that he was just in need of a girlfriend and was a bit frustrated. We gave him to a rabbit breeder, and from what I hear, he lived happily ever after.

Perhaps the highlight of the latest "Saturday Night Live" came early on when The Muppets invaded Jason Segel's opening monologue, razzing their human movie partner in song — only to be quickly panned by armchair critics Statler and Waldorf, sitting in the audience at Studio 8H.
Statler said he hoped that musical guests Florence and the Machine brought a time machine — "so we can go back to before we heard that song."
You can be forgiven for thinking we're all in an entertainment time machine these days. While the reboot genre dipped to its hellish bottom with this season's short-lived revival of "Charlie's Angels," we've been treated to a spate of recent reports of comebacks to be thankful for — or at least hopeful for — as Thanksgiving approaches.
Ozzy Osbourne is reuniting with Black Sabbath for a tour and album. Even if the efforts don't sate a metal jones, they seem certain at least to satisfy some morbid curiosity (what's Geezer been doing all these years, anyway?). The long neglected Woody Woodpecker, meanwhile, is due for a big screen return, The Hollywood Reporter notes. (Just keep the raucous redhead away from head-chomping Ozzy.)
Joss Whedon told Yahoo! Movies a sequel to the terrific 2008 Internet mini-musical "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" is slowly coming along, and we learned last week that the planned new episodes of "Arrested Development" will be shown on Netflix as a prelude to the cult classic TV show's long-awaited big-screen debut. Speaking of movies, we're even warming to the idea of Billy Crystal stepping in to host the Academy Awards after an eight-year absence.
We're most excited, though, about The Muppets, who return to theaters Wednesday in a new film co-written by Segel that we hope lives up to the hype, even if the flick can never match Jim Henson's peerless original 1979 outing.
Comeback attempts are fraught with the risk of not living up to expectations — especially for acts that hold special places in the collective imagination. Successfully changing with the times while maintaining the original charm seems as unlikely as, well, a healthy relationship between a pig and a frog. But even the slightest chance of renewing treasured (rainbow) connections keeps us coming back for more.
We'll see how the Statler and Waldorf in us all react to the returns of Kermit, Ozzy, Woody and the rest. In the meantime, check out Segel's "SNL" monologue, conducted with a little help from his felt friends:
Hester is founding director of the award-winning, multi-media NYCity News Service at the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism. He is the former City Editor of the New York Daily News, where he started as a reporter in 1992. Follow him on Twitter.

Mark, I just saw this thread after some time away from the forums. I tried doing exactly what you accomplished with Pico Pup a couple of months ago but became too frustrated trying to rebuild the minimal Pico Pup. Puppy 1.08 is still my favorite Puppy and perfect for my music applications so this smaller compatible version is VERY exciting news to me. You said ALSA is still included? I cannot wait to try this after the download. I thought my search for the ideal Linux distro for my needs was over but maybe not.
As always, good job and thanks for sticking with this project!

Post subject: Anyone tried skype with micro muppy?
Has anyone tried skype with micro muppy, or is this possible at all? it should be easy to install skype - just decompress and run, especially the qt-lib-static version.
The reason I ask is the possibility of promoting browsing and skype-ing appliance hooked to TV - I will post a picture in a moment.

Monitors are still pretty expensive, but most homes have a TV.
They're not hi-res but you use what you got, it works okay.
You just need a cheap TV card & Puppy dialogs that fit on screen
& the fonts set to larger & bolded, then reading dialogs works.

I will not add Rox, as I had to add Gtk, too.
Also it would break the concept.
The concept is to have a "single application Linux".
Only Opera for Internet-Cafes.
Or qiv for LCD-picture frames.
Or such.
I added XFileExplorer only to make it easier for developers to customize their own Micromuppy.
They then could remove XFE for the final Iso.
Having Rox would give the user many options, that give the wish for more options.
So I think for such a purpose Todds LitePup or Murgas Meanpuppy are suited better.

Thanks, Mark, for reactivating the d/l.
MicroMuppyOpera - that's a pretty lengthy name for such a tiny OS! How about "MMO"? After all, the www is the greatest
ever, and this OS is designed to explore it.
First off, it did not boot with 32 MiB ram. (I tried PuppyOpera - that did.) Curiously enough, not even 64 MiB sufficed here. It got stuck while loading the ramdisk, don't ask me why. There was plenty swap, but the system couldn't make use of it.
What is the advantage of having a bigger (and hence problematic) initrd.gz over a small one together with a thoroughly pruned down pup_xxx.sfs? - By the way, I am writing this from PuppyOpera on a Pentium 233 mmx with abovementioned 32 MiB ram (using dillo in this extreme case, not Opera). That is slightly beyond fun, but it works. With, 64 MiB ram, it feels quite comfortable already.
Anyway, I tried MMO at my bigger machine, and I have to say, all in all, cute idea! Playing around with the once booted MMO from within, i. e. neither rebooting nor even going back to commandline (except for jwm restart), was also a good exercise for my Opera skills. I made the window fully visible and resizable again, added more items to the jwm root menu, and managed to have Opera open downloads with arbitrary executables. Nevertheless I think, this OS is not too far away from a slim and slick web browsing terminal that is ready to be used and promoted on a bigger scale. Currently, many of those public terminals are based on ridiculously oversized, ressource-hungry and, not at least, expensive software.
Some remarks/suggestions:
For shared use, a button that allows to delete all private data would be helpful. If you like, I can make one and send it to you.
Without tabs, the interface gets confusing when two or more pages are open. Many people might not know how to make the pagebar visible. I'd rather omit the jwm taskbar and show the Opera pagebar (tabs) on default instead. I couldn't find out a way to do the former, though.
It would be nice if proper localisation could be chosen during startup (keyboard, maybe even the corresponding Opera language file, either by automatically editing opera6.ini or, most easily, copying the xxx.lng to english.lng).
More than 2 of the 18 MiB are due to the flash/shockwave lib. Unfortunately, it does not work. Of course, the better solution would be to make it work somehow (I've had no luck so far), but otherwise, the lib could also be left out.
Both the Opera prefs (e. g. associations) and the builtin Opera source editor (which can be used to edit any file!), as well as Ctrl+Alt+F1, could be disabled alltogether by mapping the Alt key to something harmless. The side effects (spoiling a few special Opera shortcuts) would be neglectable for the intended audience, I think.
As long as the user is allowed to save files, s/he can currently browse the whole directory tree and move files around. Perhaps Opera could run as less than root? I know, that would be quite big a change.

blubb_fallo; Perhaps you'd like to mod MicroMuppyOpera to move all of the
image.gz file that's not needed for booting to a pup_mmo-002.sfs file?
Just the dir.: /usr needs to be made into a Squash file.
I looked & the image.gz file is: 36MB, & /usr dir. is: 26MB, so the image.gz file
would end up being 5MB, & the Squash file would end up being 13MB.
Decompressed to memory, the image file would take up ~ 10MB.
Then it'd boot within 32MB, with the Squash file remaining on the boot media.
I just made a sfs file maker, so this is a perfect opportunity to try it out.
Update: I made a pup_mmo-002.sfs file, & it's 12MB in size.
Now I'll make another one with "unionctl" in it so a union can be made on /usr
And also copy the standard Puppy 1.0.7 boot scripts to image.gz.
I think this will do, to make MMO into a base Squash file distro. setup.
Then extra sfs files with the apps. in them can be swapped in & out.

I made a MicroMuppyOpera with a usr_cram.fs file.
It boots to:
Registering UnionFS
UnionFS: Hidden dir. /root/.usr is not a valid branch.
UnionFS_read_super: Error parsing options.
Mount: Mounting none on /usr failed, invalid argiment.
The weard thing is, I made the dir.: /root/.usr in the image.gz file,
& checked to be sure it's there, it is...
I'm puzzled as to why the Union mount error says that it's not a valid branch.

I can't help here.
I just extended picopup.
That one had ripped of everything like support to save things or .sfs files.
So adding those features back would be not trivial, I fear.
It might be easier to slim down a litepup instead.
Micromuppy makes sense in situations, where it is not wished to save settings.
Internet-terminals will not want the user to save things (porn, warez).
So in the evening, you switch off the machine, and turn it on next morning, to start with a "clean" system.
Concerning tabs and such in Opera:
Yes, feel free to upload any modifications, they are welcome.
You also should add more fonts.
I just was interested by the goal to add X to picopup, but will not customize micromuppy any further.
If people use it to create own customized micros, I'd be happy to host them.

1301.0 - Year Book Australia, 2007
ARCHIVED ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 24/01/2007
|Page tools: Print Page
The number of victims in 2005 declined in most offence categories compared with 2004. The number of victims of homicide and related offences decreased by 10%, while victims of motor vehicle theft and unlawful entry with intent both decreased by 8%. Other theft and kidnapping/abduction both decreased by 5%.
Increases were recorded for blackmail/extortion (6%) and robbery (2%).
Graph 11.17 shows the percentage change between 2004 and 2005 in the number of victims of selected offences.
In 2005, the victimisation rates for motor vehicle theft (397 per 100,000 persons) and unlawful entry with intent (1,398 per 100,000 persons) were the lowest since national reporting began in 1993, while homicide and related offences remained the same as 2004 (4 per 100,000 persons). The victimisation rate for other theft was the lowest since 1995 (2,554 per 100,000 persons).
The victimisation rate for robbery increased by less than 1% from the 2004 rate to 83 per 100,000 persons.
Men in the age groups 15-24 years and 45-64 years were twice as likely to be a victim of murder than women of the same age groups. Men were three times more likely to be a victim of attempted murder if aged 15-24 years than women in the same age group.
For kidnapping/abduction boys aged 0-14 years had the highest victimisation rate for men (5 per 100,000 males), while for women the 15-24 age group had the highest victimisation rate for the same offence (12 per 100,000 females).
The victimisation rate for robbery was the highest in the 15-24 year age group for men (316 per 100,000 males) and women (96 per 100,000 females) (table 11.18).
In 2005, a weapon was most likely to have been used in attempted murder (72%) and murder (59%) offences. A knife was the most common type of weapon used and was involved in nearly one-third of murders (30%) and attempted murders (29%). A firearm was involved in 18% of attempted murders, 10% of murders and 5% of robberies (table 11.19).
Murders involving a weapon increased by 7% from 2004, but were 15% lower than in 2001. The proportion of weapon use for this offence was similar in 2005 compared with 2001 (59% in 2005 compared with 60% in 2001).
A knife was used in 30% of murders recorded in 2005, the highest proportion since 2001 (29%), while the use of firearms for this offence continued to decline for this same period, from 16% in 2001 to 10% in 2005. Murders involving other weapons comprised 15% of the total (chart 11.20).
The proportion of robberies in which a weapon was used declined from 42% in 2001 to 37% in 2005. The proportions have remained relatively stable since 2002, ranging from 36% to 37%.
The use of knives was more prevalent for robberies than firearms, comprising 19% of all robberies. This proportion was slightly higher than the proportion in 2004 (18%), but lower than that recorded in 2001 (23%). Firearms accounted for 5% of total robberies in 2005, a slight decline from the proportions recorded in the preceding four years (around 6% of all robberies). Other weapon use ranged between 8% and 9% during the period 2001 to 2005 (chart 11.21).

Balls of crystal: Hook makes bold 2004 predictions
We hereby present our three predictions for the coming year:
- With the glut of apartments and office space in the Charlottesville market, The Hook predicts lower rents for 2004.
- Charlottesville, home of the gourmet gas station, has two models that will go national: Patricia's Kluge's Fuel Co. and Tiger Fuel's Markets.
- Albemarle's appreciation of the pedestrian friendly neighborhood model and Charlottesville's new zoning ordinance embrace the high-density of new urbanism.
We predict that we'll be doing more walking after we park our cars at the new Target.
While gazing into the future, newsroom prognosticators saw other events swirl into view from the foggy mists:
- Meredith Richards will abandon a run for a third term on City Council and– although she won't again challenge him for Congress– she will ride away on a Vespa with her cross-the-aisle future sweetie, Virgil Goode.
- UVA will go six weeks without a racial incident. Nah. Make that, UVA will go six minutes without a racial incident.
- City Councilor Rob Schilling will be made over on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
- The NRA will bankrupt Albemarle schools as assistant county attorney Mark Trank doggedly appeals a court ruling permitting Jouett student Alan Newsome to wear his weapon-emblazoned NRA t-shirt.
- As City Council considers yet another "sister" city for Charlottesville, this one in Bulgaria, citizens join hands to demand a "brother."
- Continuing a trend of extreme weather, the area will experience a tsunami of sorts– as a vat of chicken parts explodes over a highway. Oh, wait, that's already happened.
- Outraged at being shut out from UVA football games, the Pep Band will storm the field at the Tech game, say something about dirt roads, and present a scramble band show the likes of which have never been seen before.
- Dave Matthews will throw a benefit concert at Scott Stadium to benefit beleaguered goat cheese producers.
- Patricia Kluge will lobby to join the Albemarle planning commission to push for approval of innovative subdivisions.
- Citing the desire for more sailing and less fund-raising, UVA president John Casteen will accept a job as president of Tidewater Community College.
- After years of bitter fighting, developers Colin Rolph and Lee Danielson kiss and make up in April. By August, they've joined forces to compete against their old ice park by buying the old IGA and opening the Charlottesville Roller Rink.
- Taking her upscale gas station to the next level, Patricia Kluge adds a three-room "country carriage-house style" inn to the back of Fuel. "Here," Kluge will say, "guests can recover from the vexing rigors of automotive traffic."
- The beleaguered Charlottesville Downtown Foundation seeks ways to keep Fridays After Five alive. In January, CDF makes a few "minor" changes. Admission climbs to $10, and to lower costs, they nix live music and purchase a neoprene-coated iPod, which faithfully takes the stage, rain or shine, every week in the summer.
- The city will hold a candlelight memorial service for the last yellow bike, whose utter disappearance will finally be acknowledged in March.
- Heavy rains continue, and in an effort to keep the Downtown Mall bustling, a massive awning is erected from end to end to extend the patio dining season.

Directed by: Various
Contains spoilers
I'll admit that I have put off watching this, having watched the pilot some time ago. Said pilot episode did not ring my bell and, despite many a person suggesting that the series improves (and it does) I had little faith. However, having watched it all in one weekend I am now suffering from… You know when you eat too much Chinese food and you get that weird too much MSG feeling? Well I am suffering from a too much angst induced weird feeling… honestly so much teen angst can't be good for you… perhaps I should have watched this on a weekly basis and controlled my intake!
Firstly I'll admit that I have never read the books and so had no preconception of the world the series created. So, the basic story runs like this – for those who haven't seen the show – new boy Stefan (Paul Wesley) turns up at the Mystic Falls high school. You just know he is something odd as he looks like the bastard son of Angel and Edward Cullen – all pouty and hair gelled – plus his voice over at the head of the series talks about remaining hidden for over a century but he has to meet her. Also at the school is Elena (Nina Dobrev) – the *her* he has to meet.
|writing in her journal
|Ian Somerhalder as Damon
|Katherine's photo
|a spell to make feather's float
|Stefan with full vampire face
|dead vampire
|wood bullets
|summoned mist
I mentioned drugs and it seems that someone in the writing staff has a real addiction bee in their bonnet. From casual drug use leading to death (by vampires), to alcohol leading to getting off with your best friend's mom, to drunk vampires and blood as a drug this programme really does use the vampire/addict allegory a lot, as well as highlighting more mundane substance abuse, and is fairly preachy with it. Stefan on human blood for a couple of episodes went down a relapsed junky route and one fears that he will relapse once a season - much like Angel seemed to become Angelus once a season for a while.
|the corpse is bloodless, the series not so
That said, compare it to the current crop of vampire related series and it fails to touch either True Blood or Being Human. Perhaps it still is a tad too teen?
Take it in small sips – 6 out of 10 (for the season as a whole, earlier episodes would drop a point).

PSU formally requests more time from NCAA
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) – With a Friday deadline looming, the NCAA signaled it would give Penn State more time to respond to its inquiry over the university's handling of child sex abuse accusations against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
Penn State general counsel Cynthia Baldwin said in a letter to NCAA president Mark Emmert released Thursday that answers to the NCAA's questions about the Sandusky case might come from other, separate probes already in progress. Among them is a university trustees investigation spearheaded by former FBI director Louis Freeh.
Baldwin spoke to Emmert and other NCAA staff by phone Nov. 23 about the concurrent inquiries, according to the letter dated Dec. 12.
"The university understands that the NCAA will continue to monitor these investigations and will have access to the report" from Freeh and the trustees, Baldwin said.
"At that time, the NCAA will determine if further response from the university is necessary," she wrote before requesting more time.
Both the NCAA and Penn State indicated in recent weeks that the school may not make the Friday deadline to provide complete answers to several questions posed last month by Emmert.
Freeh's investigation is already sharing information that the NCAA said would help determine how the college sports governing body would proceed.
"Although this information will aid in our real-time review, once the counsel's work is complete the university likely will need to formally respond to the questions raised by President Emmert," the NCAA said in a statement Thursday afternoon.
The Big Ten announced last week it also would conduct its own review and reserved the right to hand down sanctions pending its findings. The 12-member league also planned an immediate review of institutional control of athletics at its schools.
The Department of Education also is looking into Penn State, along with the separate criminal case by the state attorney general's office.
Sandusky has pleaded not guilty and waived his preliminary hearing Tuesday on charges he molested 10 boys. He has requested a jury trial.
The Sandusky scandal led to the ousters last month of Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno and school president Graham Spanier, amid mounting pressure on trustees and criticism that school officials should have done more to prevent the alleged abuse.
Kenneth Frazier, who heads the trustees committee overseeing the internal probe, said this week at a business forum hosted by The Wall Street Journal in New York that he hoped Freeh's team would have findings by the end of the academic year. Penn State's spring semester ends in mid-May.
Spanier's replacement, Rodney Erickson, has pledged the university's full cooperation with the NCAA and other inquiries.

Cool things with wheels since 2006
I'm pretty sure I would not respond in a very proper fashion to someone who was that passive aggressive. I would probably place their little love note on a poster board near where I found it, with a very politically incorrect suggestion on how they can contact me.

Welcome to Barcode Island, a comprehensive new website written specifically for barcode developers.
We began preparing Barcode Island when we had a need for technical information on a variety of barcode symbologies and found that the information was not available in a single, centralized site on the Internet. In fact, we weren't able to find complete information on any symbology from a single website. Only by visiting a half dozen websites were we able to obtain the information needed. We came to the conclusion that a site with technical information about as many symbologies as possible would be a valuable tool for many developers. Barcode Island is the result of that conclusion.
Here at Barcode Island you'll find first-hand information about symbologies and barcodes in general. Unlike other sites that have copied their content from other websites or directly from a book written in the early 90's, all our information was authored first hand exclusively for this site.
Barcode Island is offered as a free informational service to developers around the world. We are eager to receive your comments, suggestions, and feedback on the site. Please write to us with any such comments.
We are also very interested in receiving any material that you would like to contribute to Barcode Island - sections of code for the upcoming code library, product reviews related to barcodes, or anything related to barcode technology.
Information provided "as-is" without warranty. Please see details.

We're pretty sure that even parents would be able to recognize One Direction if they alll walked into the grocery store, but apparently some people in the world live in some kind of bubble, and still don't know what the the British singers look like.
We thought that No Direction, the tribute band who perform in England, were probably the worst 1D impersonators of all time, but these five guys have been taking advantage of some not-so-clued up tourists over in Hollywood, walking the strip posing as the 1D guys to fool a bunch of bystanders into thinking they've met the real deal. They don't pass as One Direction at all, but it still totally worked!
They are wandering around the most tourist-filled spots of Hollywood, pretending to be One Direction and posing for photographs with people who must have been living under a rock for the past three years!
Having said that, we are experts when it comes to 1D and the imposters are rocking some pretty convincing costumes. Louis' got a baseball tee and beanie, Zayn's in leather, Harry's got his usual sunglasses on. We're not too sure what Niall and Liam are trying to acheive though—we have a feeling the other three might have just randomly found them and asked if they wanted to go on an adventure!
Head over to Sugarscape to see the pic of fake One Directon—plus see this hilarious video of these guys in action fooling Hollywood Blvd tourists!
Do you think Fake 1D looks anything like the real 1D guys? Let us know in the comments section below!

Skincare Expert Jasmina Aganovic Spills Her Beauty Secrets
With the exception of certain celebrities and our very own Teen Vogue beauty editors, I've seen very few people with skin so radiant that it made my jaw instantly drop. But Stages of Beauty founder, Jasmina Aganovic, definitely belongs in the elite club. So what's her secret, you ask? "Treat your skin properly at each stage in your life, and be aware of the true biological needs of your skin at your specific age," says Jasmina, who recently launched her skincare line after years of working in the beauty industry at places like Fresh and Living Proof. "Pay close attention to what ingredients are in your products, and understand how your skin responds to these ingredients," she adds.
As a student, I find it really amazing and inspiring to listen to people from the beauty industry—whether they're editors or entrepreneurs—talk about their careers. Luckily, Jasmina recently stopped by the Teen Vogue office to chat with me about her line. She left me a few samples too, which I started using right away. Within a few days, I was completely surprised at how noticeably smooth and glowy my face was! Read on to find out how Jasmina got started in the biz and much more!
What made you want to start Stages of Beauty?
I started Stages of Beauty in 2010. I have always been really interested in the beauty industry, and it was actually in my teens that I started paying close attention to the ingredients and the stories behind various beauty brands. I remember when I was about seventeen, I decided to get ahead of the game and purchase a retinol product to prevent fine lines and wrinkles. After just one use, my skin got incredibly red and started to peel! I learned that retinol is a really powerful ingredient that shouldn't be used until women start to see signs of aging. This incident really stuck in my mind and got me thinking about how age influences the products we should be using.
What did you study at MIT, and why?
At MIT I studied Chemical and Biological Engineering. Going into college, I was actually more interested in business, but by the end of my first year I made the switch because I believed that this aspect of engineering would be a great platform for any industry that I wanted to go into after graduation, and that it would open the most doors for me – and it did!
What difficulties did you encounter when starting your line? What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
The biggest difficulty with Stages was really just getting started – it was very intimidating and seemed like a huge mountain to climb, a big vision to live up to. But I just kept in mind that nothing can be done overnight. The difficulties seem so far away now because of all the rewarding aspects. The first has to be the fantastic feedback and wonderful stories we get back from our customers. It really means so much to us, and they make our day. It is also really surreal to see ideas come to life: watching a packaging concept become something you can actually hold and use every day is just so fantastic. Another really great part about my job is the people I work with – they have contributed so much to all parts of the process, and the brand really would not be the same if it weren't for them.
The beauty industry is constantly changing and companies release tons of products regularly—what is the process you go through when trying to develop a new product?
When trying to develop a new product, we first look at the industry and what the top sellers from other brands are in that category. We then buy most of those products and test it ourselves. From there we look at what we like in the products and what we think we can do better from a formulation perspective and from a packaging perspective. We then setup the formulations by identifying and selecting the ingredients that are beneficial for each of our age groups and then it's just a matter of perfecting it from there! With packaging we always look for something that is feminine and functional for use. Watching everything come together is really lots of fun.
Interning is an important part of entering the beauty industry. What work experiences did you have while in college?
I had a few internships, most notably at a big pharmaceutical company and a small venture capital company. Both of them were really great – I worked with wonderful teams and learned a lot. I think that it's really important to take internships in different places (or industries, if you can) so that you can give yourself some breadth and learn more about what you like and don't like in terms of not just the job itself, but also the size of the company, the location, team size, etc. Getting your feet wet is important in helping you learn.
Stages of Beauty is primarily concerned with anti-aging; how early should teens be concerned with aging?
Although teens are definitely not worrying about anti-aging yet, a lot of anti-aging care is built around developing the right habits early, and the teen years are a great time to start getting into those habits.
Also, the teen years are responsible for the majority of our life's free radical damage: we get 50-80% of our lifetime free radical damage before we turn 21. These free radicals can cause premature fine lines and wrinkles in our late 20s. This means that in addition to the products that you may already be using for oil control or acne, the teen years are an important time to use products that have great antioxidants along with an SPF.
An important thing to note is that if you are using common acne-fighting ingredients, like salicylic acid, or if your skin is peeling from dryness, it's very important to use an SPF – this is because those ingredients make the skin extra sensitive to the sun, putting us more at risk for hyperpigmentation and dark spots. It takes a really long time for this pigmentation to subside (at least two months or more), so it's always better to never let it happen in the first place! To prevent this, always wear SPF on your face! The sun contributes to almost 60% of the signs of aging we get later on, and a lot of this sun damage happens during our teens.
**What advice do you have for young girls who want to make it in the beauty industry? **
Be persistent and don't be afraid to pick up the phone! That was how I first got in touch with Fresh. Also, wearing a smile and having a positive energy always helps.

Just innocently refilling the Pyxis machine in the hospital, and overhear the string of profanities and whining curses (of the patient on his cell phone in an ER cubicle behind a curtain). Then, I hear the curtain being pulled back and 'Oh, hi officer, we were just at the bar ...'. Sometimes selective hearing is a skill to be honed.

Uncle Shelby had something to say about this:
"OK, a song of warning, for those who play the game...
Oh...never bite a married woman on the thigh
Oh my, not on the thigh
Of course she just can't wash it off no matter how she tries
Oh my, she'll try
And when she gets home at night her husband's gonna ask her, "Why
Is there a tooth mark on your thigh?"
And she'll say it's just a birth mark or some other silly lie
Oh my, she'll try
But he'll get suspicious and then he will start to pry
Oh my, isn't he sly
And then, then, then she'll admit to everything and he will say, "Bye bye,
Bye bye!"
He's gonna fly
And then he'll say, "I don't blame you, but tell me who's the guy?"
That guy was I
And then he'll come and find you and he'll punch you right in the eye
Oh my, right in the eye
And and then he...
And then he'll rent a cheap hotel room and he'll hang himself with his tie
Oh my, his brand, his brand new tie
And then she'll take a overdose of sleeping tablets and she's gonna lie
On the couch and die
So never never never never never never never
Bite a married woman on the thigh."

On the Internet-famous 'Things I learn from my patients" thread, which has been going on for years now, I learned these things:
Most criminal assaults are perpetrated by a notorious criminal known only as "Some Dude."
Some Dude is both psychopathic and delusional, and does everything he does "for no reason."
The most likely place to be assaulted by Some Dude is "standing on the corner, minding your own business."
I get the impression that about half of all ER visits related to criminal activity have the following narrative:
"I was standing on the corner minding my own business, and Some Dude ran up and hit me with a brick for no reason."
This is so common that ER doctors and police have an acronym, SOCMOB. It stands for, obviously, "Standing on the corner, minding own business." As in, "Pt was SOCMOB &..."

Increase Your Testosterone Levels - Naturally!
Tmax200 is an all-natural supplement formulated to stimulate specific hormones in the body to increase testosterone production. The primary ingredient in Tmax200 is Eurycoma longifolia (Tongkat Ali), a flowering plant in the Simaroubaceae family, native to Indonesia and Malaysia. Eurycoma longifolia has been used as a therapeutic herb for centuries in Southeast Asia to promote well-being, improve health, increase strength, and increase libido. Sometimes referred to as Asian Viagra, it is used by men to increase sexual desire and performance and to treat erectile dysfunction.
Low Testosterone and the Aging Process
They say that 40 is the new 20, but for many men, hitting age 40 marks the real onset of the aging process. Despite your healthy lifestyle you start to notice things like more weight gathering around your midsection, muscles and joints begin to ache, you experience a gradual loss of energy and you just don't have much of a sex drive. It's just a plain fact, as we age our bodies change and for men one of biggest issues is you lose the ability to produce testosterone. Production of testosterone peaks in men at about age 30 and then declines at a rate of approximately 2% per year thereafter, even faster in your 40s and 50s.
Battling Mid-Life Weight Gain
Studies show that low testosterone is directly linked to an increase in belly fat and obesity. If you're over 40, you're probably fighting excess weight gain. And you're not alone, most men between the ages of 40 and 55 struggle to lose extra body fat. Even worse, it's a different type of fat. In your 20s and 30s, you probably lost unwanted pounds by simply eating a little less and exercising a little more. Now, losing that extra weight is much more difficult. In fact, middle-aged men often complain that no amount of dieting or exercise can eliminate their belly fat. You don't need a new diet or exercise program, you need Tmax200 to help boost your testosterone levels.
Why with some men over 40, that are perfectly capable of having sex, just do not seem that interested? The answer is both simple and complex—and it all begins with your testosterone. Normal testosterone levels maintain mood, fertility, and sexual desire. As we age our bodies natural ability to produce testosterone declines, and with that comes a lower libido as well as diminished sex drive and stamina. You can take a product like Viagra and go through the motions but that does not address the fundamental issue. Tmax200 goes to the root of the problem by naturally rejuvenating your body's ability to produce testosterone to renew sexual desire and performance.

Imagine your chagrin: You bought a sophisticated new audio system for your home, and all the electronics retailer did was deliver it, plug it in and leave.
Given what you had hoped the system would provide—to say nothing of what you paid for it—you had assumed that an expert would help you set up the equipment and explain how to position the components properly for an optimal experience, how to operate the system, how to troubleshoot problems and so forth. After all, the system is meant to change the way you listen to music, and if the retailer fails to help you achieve that change, it's unlikely you will understand the system or use even a small percentage of its overall functionality.
In much the same way, today's buyers of outsourcing services have expectations for their BPO partners and suppliers that go well beyond just setting up the function or process and meeting basic service levels. They expect the BPO relationship to deliver better overall performance and positive strategic outcomes.

The British government has trained a paramilitary force accused of hundreds of killings in Bangladesh, according to leaked U.S. embassy cables.
The Guardian newspaper said the cables described training for members of the Rapid Action Battalion as being in "investigative interviewing techniques" and "rules of engagement."
One cable notes that U.S. training for the battalion in counterterrorism would be illegal under U.S. law because of human rights violations.

The newspaper said the battalion has been accused by human rights activists of being a "death squad" responsible for more than 1,000 extra-judicial killings since it was established in 2004. In March, the battalion's leader said it had killed 622 people in "crossfire."
The RAB's use of torture has also been exhaustively documented by human rights groups, the Guardian said. In addition, officers from the paramilitary force are alleged to have been involved in kidnap and extortion, and are frequently accused of taking large bribes in return for carrying out killings.
However, the cables reveal that British and Americans officials favor bolstering the force to strengthen counter-terrorism operations in Bangladesh. One cable describes U.S. Ambassador James Moriarty as saying the battalion is the "enforcement organization best positioned to one day become a Bangladeshi version of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation."
The British training began three years ago, The Guardian said, quoting the cables.
Asked by The Guardian about the training for the RAB, the Foreign Office said the UK government "provides a range of human rights assistance" in the country. However, the RAB's head of training, Mejbah Uddin, told the newspaper that he was unaware of any human rights training since he was appointed last summer.
In the most recent killings, the battalion reported that it had shot three men in separate incidents on Tuesday.

UPDATE: The other day saw the arrival of the trailer for Angelina Jolie's directorial debut, "In the Land of Blood and Honey." The quality wasn't great, and it wasn't in English, and the studio had it taken down pretty quickly. But later last night we got an email letting us know that the new official, English version was now available. And they included a synopsis by someone who's actually seen the film:
Set against the backdrop of the Bosnian War that tore the Balkan region apart in the 1990s, In the Land of Blood and Honey tells the story of Danijel (Goran Kostić) and Ajla (Zana Marjanović), two people from different sides of a brutal ethnic conflict. Danijel, a soldier fighting for the Serbs, and Ajla, a Bosnian held captive in the camp he oversees, knew each other before the war, and could have found love with each other. But as the armed conflict takes hold of their lives, their relationship grows darker, their motives and connection to one another ambiguous, their allegiances uncertain. In the Land of Blood and Honey portrays the incredible emotional, moral and physical toll that the war exerts both on individuals and people as a whole, and the terrible consequences that stem from the lack of political will to intervene in a society stricken with conflict.
U.S. & World
It looks to be about as bleak as a war-torn romance can get. Jolie does not appear in the film, which she shot on location, having opted instead for local talent. And she shot two versions, one in English and another in the Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian language known as BHS.
"In the Land of Blood and Honey" opens Dec. 23.

There is More is written to guide readers into the truthful insights of impartation and the appointing of the Holy Spirit. Randy Clark begins the book by defining that impartation means, "transference of the anointing" (Page 16). He also explained how the Old Testament impartation occurred when Moses placed his hands on Joshua and the Spirit of wisdom was given to him. The next examples would be when Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah's spirit, which was really the Spirit of God working through Elijah. God allowed this to happen where his presence and power could be known more fully. The New Testament impartation transpired through the act of ordination, healing and blessings, and the gifts of the Spirit and being baptized by the Holy Spirit through impartation. One example of healing and blessings befell when Jesus prayed over the little children lives and he placed his hands on them. In Acts 19:6, we read that Paul placed his hands on newly baptized believers in Ephesus and they were filled with the Holy Spirit and they began to speak in tongues and prophesize. Another instanced happened when Paul gave some Christians in Rome some spiritual gifts to be used for the glory of God.
Randy Clark described the way he encountered impartation and how he has witnessed incredible events throughout the book. His first impartation occurred when he attended the James Robison Bible Conference and he was a Baptist at the time. The night before the conference he had a dream that he was declaring to his congregation that God was calling them up into a higher level of His Holy Spirit. The second day, John Wimber preached a message and the crowd saw a woman's hem shaking and she touched someone and then they began to shake and it kept repeating until many people were healed. Next they started to worship our loving Creator through praise and Randy felt God was telling him to lift his hands (and Baptists don't normally do this). He felt the presence of God began to overtake him and he tried to hide behind a projection screen. But he couldn't hide his shaking and crying. The next night Randy Clark met John Wimber and he asked for prayer for one of his deacons. John told him that he wanted to pray for him and for his heart because a church has wounded it and he decreed that there was an apostolic call on Randy's life. He has experienced impartation many other times in his life and he shared some of those throughout the book.
I would recommend this vivid awe inspiring and informative book on impartation to all believers who are wanting to learn how impartation occurs and how to receive it. This is the first time, I have such a charismatic packed book about impartation of the Holy Spirits gifts and power. It definably defined countless implausible examples of healing and gifts of the Holy Spirit being given. I liked how Randy Clark shared a ton of other people's encounters with impartation. Some of the healing stories were people being healed of knee problems, a bad heart, eye injury and blindness, prisoners being baptized, and gifts of the Holy Spirit being received. My favorite story was about Carole Baerg, who took a mission trip to Belgium. A woman brought her daughter who was eight to nine months pregnant up for prayer. The doctors declared that the fetus was dead and they would wait a week longer to deliver it. Carole prayed over the baby and she admitted to God that he didn't have the faith to pray for this. Three years later, when she took a trip back to Belgium, a young boy ran up to her and said, "I'm the miracle baby" and the grandmother approached her and confirmed it. This story is very touching and unbelievable astonishing! But I have no doubt that God is able to perform miracles. I loved how the book taught be many new things about laying hands on people, praying over people, fainting in church and being overwhelmed by the power of God's Spirit, speaking in tongues, and people being healed. If you're looking for more information about impartation and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, then this book will teach you many magnificent things!

22 Battalion - " Carmeli " Brigade-Israel Independence War 1948
2nd Brigade - Carmeli
The Carmeli Brigade was formed by David Ben-Gurion in February 1948 to be one of nine elite fighting units, The Carmeli Brigade was initially responsible for operations in Haifa and western Galilee. Two months later, the Carmeli Brigade engaged in fierce fighting with several waves of Arab Druze forces, but succeeded in repelling the assault on the city of Haifa and then moved on to capture Arab positions in Acre. In late May and early June of 1948, the Carmeli Brigade faced Iraqi forces battling for the city of Jenin and although Israeli forces captured to town, they soon had to withdraw from it due to ineffective defenses. Throughout the Israeli war for independence, the Carmeli Brigade served as one of the primary units in the Israeli army. The 22ed Battalion was part of the Carmeli Brigade among other units,this blog is to honor the brave fighters and to be a memory for those who died during the war of 1948!

SOMERSWORTH — A local man who was arrested this weekend following the death of a 2-year-old boy is set to appear in court today.
Jared Pope, 30, of Somersworth, is due to be arraigned on a charge of manslaughter at the circuit court in Dover.
Authorities allege Pope caused the death of a toddler who was found in distress at 231 High St. on Friday evening. Police received a 911 call from the address at 5:41 p.m. and transported the toddler to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
An autopsy conducted Saturday revealed the toddler was smothered to death, according to a ruling by the state's chief medical examiner.
On Saturday morning, a Somersworth police officer was keeping watch at the scene while homicide investigators from the State Police Major Crime Unit gathered evidence. Crime scene tape was wrapped around the outside of a baby carriage, which was left at the foot of a staircase at the home. The young boy's death has been ruled a homicide.
Geoffrey Ward, a state attorney involved in the investigation, declined to comment this weekend about the nature of York's injuries. He also declined to discuss the relationship between Pope and the victim.
One neighbor who spoke with WMUR-TV on condition of anonymity said Pope was visibly upset when he was arrested over the weekend.
"I saw him crying from when he walked out of the building to when he got into the cruiser, and even when he passed me in the cruiser," the man said. "Just crying, and crying and crying."

Women now control more than half the spending power in the U.S. So why is venture capital—the engine that powers innovation—so cold to their ideas? A panel of women entrepreneurs addressed the problem at the summit.
"One of the biggest problems is that there are just no women in the rooms where the decisions are being made," said Susan Lyne, CEO of Gilt Groupe. "It's simple calculus," said Lyne, who formerly ran Martha Stewart's OmniLiving Media and is now readying Gilt, a flash sale intenet site, for an IPO. "If you have a room filled with men, the ideas they're going to want to finance are the ideas that appeal to men."
Candace Browning, head of global research for Bank of America, called such thinking "completely out of touch with the reality." A report she recently released advised clients to invest in businesses that harness the purchasing power of the 30- to 39-year-old women and women in the 60-plus age bracket. "That is where the growth really is."
Amanda Steinberg, CEO of DailyWorth, a firm that aims to be a Kiplinger's for women, said she had raised $3 million to finance her efforts, $2 million of which came from women who had never before invested in a start-up.
The solution, said Lyne, is "more noise. I see a lot more women being invited in [to pitch ideas], but it takes time, it takes pressure."
Moderator Gayle Tzemach Lemmon asked the panelist if there was any truth to the idea that concentrating on start-ups that involve such traditional areas as fashion or child-rearing would consign women to a pink-collar ghetto. "I think that's ridiculous, illogical," said Lyne. "You should go where there is white space."
With so much buying power shifting to women in the U.S. over the next decade, an effect amplified by the wealth transfer of the baby boom generation, "it would be foolish to stay away from such potential markets," said the DailyWorth's Steinberg.

The New Republic has an interview with President Obama where the newly re-minted commander-in-chief discusses, among other things, violence in football. The President makes some reasonable observations about the sport and the changes he foresees—less exciting for us, safer for the players—which I think we can all get behind. Less exciting football is still better than no football, and as President Obama mentions, it will lighten the load on our conflicted consciences.
He then turns his attention to the NCAA.
I tend to be more worried about college players than NFL players in the sense that the NFL players have a union, they're grown men, they can make some of these decisions on their own, and most of them are well-compensated for the violence they do to their bodies. You read some of these stories about college players who undergo some of these same problems with concussions and so forth and then have nothing to fall back on. That's something that I'd like to see the NCAA think about.
Of course, it took the NFLPA a long time to start taking care of its own—and that is a union's raison d'être. If a professional union needs years of public shaming to snap into action, then the seemingly shame-immune NCAA—whose entire purpose is antithetical to that of a union's—will surely be less-receptive to the President's nudging than the last time he spoke about the NCAA.

Type: Bug
Status: Resolved (View Workflow)
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Component/s: analysis-core-plugin
Environment:Hudson v 1.377 on Ubuntu.
Similar Issues:
The analysis portlets ignore the number of # days you set.
This affects all DashboardView portlets built on analysis-core.
See attached screenshots for Checkstyle example.
Integrated in Hudson Plug-ins (Compile) #77
[FIXED JENKINS-8283] Check the build times before adding the first result (since a project might not have any builds in the defined range).
I think I finally fixed it now
One drawback of the fix: if a project has no builds in the selected range, then there a no warnings counted. Maybe I should change that and reuse the last available result for that build, and use that result for all the visible days (as this is done for builds that have no result on a specific day). What do you think?
Reuse the last results sounds fine to me.
And again, thanks for the quick response and fix
And the new version is now tested and seems to work fine. Time for a new release?
I'm waiting for a pending change in the findbugs plugin. Hopefully, there will be a christmas release

The Evening Brief: June 1, 2012
Your evening reading: State Rep. Ken Legler passes away; State backs DNA testing for Skinner; CD 16 primary winner O'Rourke says campaign wasn't about marijuana.
New in the Texas Tribune:
- State Rep. Ken Legler Passes Away: Legler was first elected to represent part of Harris County in 2008. He announced in March that he wouldn't seek re-election. Legler's survivors include his wife, Barbara, three children and one grandchild. Lawmakers began posting condolences online Friday afternoon. In a tweet, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst wrote, 'My condolences and prayers go out to the family and friends of Ken Legler.'"
- State Backs DNA Testing for Hank Skinner: Reversing its decade-long objection to testing that death row inmate Hank Skinner says could prove his innocence, the Texas attorney general's office on Friday filed an advisory with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals seeking to test DNA in the case.
- Primary a Mixed Bag for Public Education Candidates: Candidates with strong records on public education defeated Republican incumbents Marva Beck of Centerville and Wayne Christian of Center, who both counted among their supporters the budget-slashing right wing of the GOP. But it's impossible to say education issues alone are what swayed voters in their direction.
- TribLive: Branch and TMF on Straus and the Primaries: At this morning's TribLive conversation, state Reps. Dan Branch, R-Dallas, and Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio, discussed whether Tuesday's primaries were a referendum on Speaker of the House Joe Straus.
- Beto O'Rourke: It Wasn't About Drugs (Mother Jones)"As one political consultant told the El Paso Times, "Usually you have to have a gay sex scandal or a federal corruption indictment for an incumbent to lose." Observers, myself included, framed the race in part as a referendum on the Drug War, because of his and Reyes' contrasting viewpoints on federal policy. But in an interview on Wednesday, O'Rourke sought to define the victory in more conventional terms."
- Gallego hires new campaign chief for runoff (San Antonio Express-News) "Facing a runoff election following a second-place finish in the Democratic primary, state Rep. Pete Gallego switched campaign managers for a third time in his bid to win the Democratic nomination for a San Antonio-based congressional seat."
