Our sweetheart MJ, on her Father's Day post, has asked her devoted followers
I must admit that her question stopped me right in my tracks. I thought about it for a few minutes and couldn't come up with an answer. Isn't there anything at all my father taught me that turned out to be useful in my life. I most certainly sure there is. But I can't still put my finger on it.
Dad and I have never seen eye to eye. What a dissapointment it must have been for him that is only son didn't like sports, didn't punch back whenever kids bullied him in school, a boy who was mostly passive, who threw the ball "like a girl raised in a patriarchal society that doesn't let women play baseball!"
A sissy boy I was. Un fif.
He did his best to straighten me up until mom told him to leave me alone. Mom was never good at standing up for herself but when it came to her kids, nobody, not even God could have touched them.
Dad was not violent (althought there was a lot of violence in him). He was not a brute. He was just a control maniac, a manipulator and a compulsive liar. One day he could be the greatest guy in the world and the next day, the biggest asshole.
A good man he was (to the eyes of everyone else). Worked hard, paid all the bills, put food on the table, send my sister and I to the best schools (so he taught). He was also very religious. He would never miss the Sunday mass and was involved in the administration of our church. And there was no way his kids would miss the mass too. When I got 18 years old, I decided that I wouldn't go to church anymore. He wasn't pleased with that obviously, but again, mom "got in the way":
"If he doesn't want to go to church, it only means that we were not good example enough".
And dad never said anything after.
When I got home with my first (and last) piercing (the left ear), he didn't openly dissaproved but mentioned in a condencending tone how foolish I was to mutilate myself. To this I replied: "Well, you had me circumcised at birth, didn't you? How do you call that". My mom laughed so loud and dad knew he had lost the battle.
No. Dad and I never got along. I could see how mom was saddened by this so I tried to keep my relationship with him as smooth as possible. I would learned later on that she did the same thing for the entire 41 years of their marriage. "I knew I had made a mistake but I also had two kids and I did all I could so they would not pay for my mistake"
To make the story short, I haven't seen my father since the year 2000. I cannot say that I miss him. It took me almost 25 years to heal. Today I'm fine. I've made peace with the past and I got rid of all anger, resentment and bitterness. Dad did what he could with what he had received. He could have done more. Why he didn't is out of my reach and I don't have time to waste trying to understand.
The only thing that matters is me, right here and right now. I am not the product of my past, because the past doesn't exist: it's an illusion. I don't deny the memory of the past but I don't want to live there.
And I've still got no idea what my father could have taught me.
But I do know what another man has taught me. A man who did for me what my father was unable to do: teach me to trust myself and not be afraid. Michel taught me that I had to become my own father, my own mother, my own teacher, my own best friend. That all the answers lie deep within myself and that if I'm careful enough, if I bring my anger to silence, I would hear the voice of my soul showing me the way, my way. He taught me that the world is my canvas on which I have to paint my own masterpiece: my life. (I know I've said it before and I'm going to say it again)
Today, my thoughts go to this wonderful man who never stopped believing in me until the end.
So here's a song to all of those who, although they found it hard to live without that special person, still wake up every morning smiling and do everything they can to make the rest of the world smile with them.
Unchained Melody, Jimmy Scott (1925-2014) (bio)

How to Format an External Hard Drive
Getting Started with Hard Drive Formats
I use external hard drives to store all of my photos and for my backups. External hard drives are great, but they must be formatted properly before you start filling them up with important information. Here's a link to an article that I recently wrote on my image storage system and an article on my Professional-Grade Backup Plans.
Sometimes the dumbest problems seem to last forever. To this day, a PC cannot read from a hard drive that has been formatted for the Mac without additional software. Likewise, the Mac OS X Operating System can read from, but cannot write to, an external drive that has been formatted for a PC using the NTFS file system without additional software. Regardless of brand or model, the very first thing that you must do when you buy a brand new external hard drive is to format it properly for your system. Format and partition your new disk immediately, before you start using it for backup or for additional file storage. It is essential that you do this right away, before you start using the drive, because the formatting process erases everything on the external disk.
Most photographers will want to format their new external hard drives using their operating system's optimal style. NTFS is the standard for Windows users and OS X Extended (Journaled) is the standard for Mac folks.

How to format an external drive (Mac):
How to Format an External Hard Drive on a Mac from David Marx on Vimeo.
Hard Drive Formatting – Mac from ASMP dpBestflow on Vimeo.
Getting Fancy: Going Cross-Platform
What if you need to use the same external hard drives with both types of computers? If you set the external drive up using NTFS then the Mac can't write files onto it. Rats. If you set the drive up using OS X Extended then the PC won't even recognize it. Double-rats. So what to do?
The best solution that I have found to this dilemma requires an additional piece of software. PC users who face this problem should look into a super cool program called MacDrive 7. With MacDrive, your PC can both read and write to an OS X Extended hard drive!
Mac users who find themselves in a similar position should look into a program called Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X. Like MacDrive, this inexpensive utility gives a Mac the ability to both read and write to an NTFS hard drive. Once I have MacDrive installed on my PC, I can use an external hard drive that has been formatted using either the NTFS or OS X Extended system. Likewise, with Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X installed, my Mac suddenly works with either drive format. Problem solved!
For more advice on selecting the appropriate drive format I urge you to read this article from the American Society of Media Photographers fantastic dpbestflow.org project.

A Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins in Lilburn was forced to close briefly last week after receiving its second failing inspection score since late July.
The coffee and ice cream shop at 3935 Highway 29 was marked down Oct. 4 for repeat violations of health codes, including not having a certified food safety manager on staff.
Employees were still not washing their hands as frequently as they should to prevent bacteria contamination, and the employee hand sink had no soap or paper towels. The inspector observed one employee handling money, then putting on gloves to slice a bagel without first washing their hands.
The prep cooler was still not working correctly and some cheese, chicken and butter had to be thrown away because the temperatures were too high.
The ice machine still had mold-like substance throughout. The coffee bean grinders and some of the other equipment were not clean either, according to the inspection report.
And in a new violation, the inspector found a motor vehicle parked inside the kitchen, and a visor and pair of gloves stored on a container of bagels.
Dunkin Donuts was given a failing score of 56 and asked to close early that evening. The restaurant was re-inspected the following day, received a 99/A and allowed to re-open that afternoon.
An assistant manager at Dunkin Donuts said the restaurant has received certification for its food safety manager.
Here are other recent inspection scores from area restaurants.

A Study Examining the Effect of Export Growth in Iran
Economic growth and its related factors, both theoretical and experimental aspects have been considered economists and policy makers of countries. Also, more than two decades the relationship between exports and economic growth has been had special importance. The theoretical framework was designed based on this assumption that the total product in the economy was divided into two parts, production for inside (N) and production for exports (X) and each two section production is a function of factors allocated capital and labor. The data were collected from 1961 to 2006 and were analyzed using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model. Hence in this article, we want to do Feder model and econometrics conventional methods to survey effect of exports on economic growth (industry & mining sector, services and agriculture). The results of this study show that each section export growth has a positive effect on the growth of value added in the same section. But the effect of export growth on the value added in industry and mining sector is more than other sectors. Together the independent variables explained 87% of the variance in the dependent variables. The remaining 13% was due to unidentified variables. In relation to that, we can conclude that explanatory power is high for the equation.Key words: Export; Oil export; Non-Oil exports; Ordinary least square (OLS); Economic growth; Iran

NRC's $252M Dell IT contract survives protest
Monday - 6/13/2011, 7:31am EDT
Executive Editor
Federal News Radio
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's largest technology contract ever is back on track.
NRC awarded Dell Services a $252 million IT support services contract in February only to see losing bidder, L-3 Stratis, protest the award.
Last Thursday, the Government Accountability Office denied L-3 Stratis' complaint, thus letting the original award move forward, said Darren Ash, NRC's chief information officer.
Under the six-year deal, Dell Services will operate, maintain and enhance a NRC's IT infrastructure in its Office of Information Systems.
According to Dell Services, the contract includes program management, BlackBerry Support Services, email and messaging, file and print, personal computing, software license, management, network management, remote access, integration and high performance computing and several other services.
A spokesman for L-3 Stratis said it's company policy not to comment on protests.
"We are looking forward to building a strong relationship with the NRC and providing the highest quality of IT outsourcing support to assist them in efficiently carrying out their important mission," said Richard Pineda, the vice president of Dell Services Federal Government, in a release.

RUSSELLVILLE — For the first time in years, residents of Franklin County elected all three Republicans in contested races to the County Commission.
Incumbent probate judge and Franklin County Commission Chairman Barry Moore defeated Democrat Connie Green, securing 56.7 percent of the vote to Green's 43.2 percent.
Democrats William Bishop and Randy Hargett lost their bids to the District 1 and District 3 commission seats, respectively.
Republican Chris Wallace won 52.4 percent of the vote for the District 1 commission seat while Republican Rayburn Massey won 55.9 percent of the vote for the District 3 seat.
Massey, who served on the County Commission from 2004-08 as a Democrat, said to his knowledge, there had not been a Republican elected to the commission in his lifetime. He said the younger generation's political views were changing the outcome of the vote.
"They have a different perspective and values than what some of the older generation had in the past," Massey said. "I think the people of Franklin County are beginning to align (themselves) with (the representation) we already have at the state and the federal level."
He added that this could prove helpful when trying to secure grants in the future. Massey said he wanted to thank the residents of Franklin County, as well as Hargett.
Wallace also thanked the people of Franklin County, as well as his wife and children, who regularly gave him updates on the race as the results were tallied.
"I've never done this before, and I didn't know what kind of chance I had at winning," Wallace said. "(I feel) excitement."
He said the idea of returning to Christian values is what many people had in mind when they decided to vote Republican. He said he did not have a bad word to say about Bishop.
"Me and William ran a clean race — I respect him, and he's a good man," Wallace said. "I don't have a cross word with him. I'm looking forward to getting more jobs in Franklin County and working hard for Franklin County."
Moore pointed out that all but one commissioner — District 4 Commissioner Don Hastings — will be new to their position. Moore said his five years of experience in his current position might have played an influence in helping him secure his seat for 2012-16.
"I want to thank my family and friends who have helped me campaign and the voters who turned out," he said. "It's a humbling experience for people to put their faith in me."

NASHVILLE (AP) - Gov. Bill Haslam says he intends to continue privatizing some state government operations.
A contract to have a Chicago-based company manage state office space created controversy. It takes effect July 1 and 126 General Services Department workers will be laid off.
Haslam told the Chattanooga Times Free Press the administration's job is to get the best service for the lowest price.
A Davidson County judge is set to rule on a lawsuit by the Tennessee State Employees Association and individual workers who say the state violated its own requirement to help affected workers find other positions by removing a website that would let them look for state jobs.

October 08, 2013, 4:18 PM — As anticipated, the latest round of Microsoft's Patch Tuesday monthly release of security fixes addresses a widely known Internet Explorer (IE) vulnerability already being exploited by malicious hackers.
Overall, for October's bundle of software patches, Microsoft issued eight bulletins covering 26 vulnerabilities. Microsoft rated four of the bulletins as critical and the other four as important.
The critical IE bulletin covers one publicly disclosed vulnerability and nine vulnerabilities not yet known by the public. The other three critical bulletins address flaws in the Windows OS. Three of the bulletins marked as important address issues with Microsoft Office, and the fourth remedies a problem in Silverlight.
Administrators should apply the patch for the IE vulnerabilities first, advised Wolfgang Kandek, chief technology officer of IT security firm Qualys.
This month's collection also marks the 10th anniversary of Microsoft's Patch Tuesday, which the company started in October 2003 in order to bundle security patches into monthly release cycles, which would allow system administrators to apply them all at the same time, rather than deal with each patch individually.
Although holding on to crucial patches for up to 30 days can be potentially problematic in terms of security -- at least for those patches that address publicly known vulnerabilities -- the monthly release cycle has been beneficial for the industry, in that it brings order to an otherwise unruly process of staying ahead of those who exploit vulnerabilities for nefarious purposes, Kandek said.
"Our perspective has certainly evolved from 10 years ago when Patch Tuesday was started. Back then vulnerabilities were clear cut and straightforward to understand. Today the amount of complexity that goes into the detection and remediation process is truly impressive," Kandek later added in an e-mail statement.
The IE public vulnerability, works by exploiting how IE accesses computer memory, allowing a maliciously designed Web page to gain user privileges on a computer. "Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights," a Microsoft advisory warned.

First Modern Warfare 3 DLC image revealed, new info
22 Dec 2011  by
Yesterday we reported that the first of Modern Warfare 3's DLC packs will drop on 24 January 2012. It will be exclusive to the Xbox 360 for one month before coming to PS3 and PC.
Today Infinity Ward has released the first image relating to the content. The pic above is taken from a map titled 'Park'. Given the fountain and the nature of the buildings in the background, it's a safe bet to say that it's based in New York's Central Park.
More info has been promised for early January.

A new poll done for Republican members of Congress has found huge public opposition, and solid opposition among Republicans, to the idea of shutting down the government over the issue of funding Obamacare.
In a national survey of 1,000 registered voters done July 31 and August 1, the question, from pollster David Winston, said, "Some members of Congress have proposed shutting down the government as a way to defund the president's health care law" and asked respondents whether they favored or opposed that plan.
Overall, 71 percent of those surveyed opposed a shutdown, while 23 percent favored a shutdown. Among Republicans, 53 percent opposed, versus 37 percent who favored.
Winston found a huge gender gap among Republicans. Republican men favored a shutdown by a narrow 48 percent to 44 percent margin. But Republican women opposed it by an enormous 61 percent to 29 percent margin.
Among Republicans who called themselves conservative, those who said they are very conservative favored shutdown by 63 percent to 27 percent, while those who said they are somewhat conservative opposed shutdown by 62 percent to 31 percent. Overall, Republicans who call themselves conservative were evenly split on the issue, 46 percent to 46 percent.
Conservative Republicans make up about 19 percent of the entire electorate. Of that number about nine percent call themselves very conservative, while ten percent say they are somewhat conservative. What the poll suggests is that even that conservative cohort is deeply split on the defunding initiative.
Winston also did a generic ballot test. Among people who say at this point that they plan to vote for the Republican candidate in 2014 — regardless of who it is — 51 percent said they opposed a shutdown, while 40 percent favored it. "What has to be concerning here is the fact that more than half the people who are presently voting for a Republican oppose this idea," Winston told me. "If you're concerned about what it might look like in terms of a general election, if half the voters who say they are going to vote for a Republican candidate oppose this, then you are creating a conflict for them to vote for a Republican candidate."
Proponents of defunding will likely challenge the premise of Winston's question, arguing that defunders are not proposing to shut down the government but rather want to fund all government operations other than Obamacare. But there is no doubt defunding advocates anticipate a possible shutdown; their hope is to persuade the public to blame President Obama, and not Republicans, for it. The new numbers suggest they will have a lot of persuading to do.

MONTREAL - Last week in Montreal, all the talk about the quarterback was related to the return of Anthony Calvillo. This week, it was the Canadiens turn to acquire a QB for their power play.
After seeing his team score just one power play goal in the last nine games, which consisted of a 1-for-36 run, Pierre Gauthier pulled the trigger on a deal to acquire Tomas Kaberle from Carolina in exchange for veteran Jaroslav Spacek.
The hope for Kaberle is that he can assume that quarterback position on the man-advantage for the Canadiens and try to spark some life into the power play. Along with puck movement in the offensive zone, one of Kaberle's strengths has always been his puck movement out of the defensive zone and starting the rush, especially with the power play.
While Andrei Markov continues to rehab, Kaberle will have the opportunity to make an immediate impact. When Markov returns, the two could make an impressive pairing.
After wining the Stanley Cup last year with Boston, Kaberle got off to a slow start along with his teammates in Carolina this year. However, he posted four points in the last two games.
The merits of dealing Spacek, who was to become a UFA for Kaberle's contract, which has two years remaining after this season, can be debated. But when asked about being up against the cap, Gauthier replied that players can always be moved.
The old saying of "you can never have too many defencemen" may apply to the Habs once Markov and Chris Campoli are back. That also means that more could be in store down the road.
For now, the Canadiens hope that Kaberle provides the boost they need to put themselves over the .500 mark and into the top 8. And while Markov continues to rehab, the Habs have a new quarterback for their power play.

You'd think that 6-feet, 9-inch and 300-pound John is a football player. But no, he's just an extra big giants fan and an equally huge fan of MetLife's gourmet food court.
MetLife Executive Chef Eric Borgia is the the one in charge of cooking up some of the most tasty, unique stadium food around. His personal favorite food stand is the one named for his own grandma, Nonna Fusco's.
"It started with grandma's meatballs, and expanded to Nonna's Italian specialties... with chicken and broccoli rabe sandwiches and a pasta bar," he says.
Home Food Advantage (as it's known around here) has 13 food carts in all, from Asian to Mexican street food and even Jersey-famous diner classics.
But, MetLife CEO Brad Mayne says some of the prices are as appetizing as the concessions themselves, thanks to a little help from MasterCard.
"You can get, for example, a turkey wrap, apple and soda and you can get that for 5 bucks if you're paying with your MasterCard," he says.
Mayne tells us the prices at the conventional concession stands stayed the same as last year, pleasing those who already pay big bucks to watch football.
Now I know you thought that food was delicious, the prices are great too, any comments or concerns fill out one of the comment cars. The CEO reads all of them.

"I am very happy with my son's baptism invitations. I am even happier because I placed my order on a Tuesday and received my order on a Friday that same week."
"We are so happy with the way these invitations turned out for our son's baptism. They are simple and perfect for the occasion. The paper quality and overall look of them is fantastic. My family commented on how nice they look. I wouldn't change a thing and would recommend these to anyone looking for a quality baptism invitation."
"I ordered these announcements as shown in the picture with matte finish and they came out absolutely beautiful!!! I received so many compliments on how "perfect" these invitations came out. I couldn't be more pleased with this product."
"I customized these to put my twin daughter's names for their Baptism and couldn't be happier with the final results. They look beautiful and the card stock is excellent. Can't wait to mail them to our guests!"
"Personalization was not a challenge for this beautiful card. My only reservation was that the scripture that framed the image was very tiny and slightly hard to read. It's a beautiful verse and the entire reason I selected the card - wish it would appear just a tad larger..."

Review of the 2008 Cadillac XLR-V
Fast, stylish and full of features, the 2008 Cadillac XLR-V makes an interesting alternative to European-brand luxury roadsters. Just be aware that many competitors are more refined and involving to drive.
- Safety
Powerful V8, head-turning styling, retractable hardtop convenience, almost all of the vehicle's features come standard.
Cramped cockpit for taller drivers, steering lacks feedback, middling interior quality unsuited to six-figure price.

Full 2008 Cadillac XLR-V Review
What's New for 2008
For 2008, the Cadillac XLR-V adds a standard heated steering wheel and a new Alpine White Edition option package.
Cadillac's efforts to re-establish itself among the world's best automakers have met with encouraging results. Recent years have seen a return to rear-wheel drive and, as a result, two solid-performing sport sedans, a surprisingly athletic crossover SUV and the image-building XLR roadster. However, Cadillac decided its intent to compete with the top European brands would only be clear if it built a wickedly fast version of its highest offering -- one with blistering performance, head-turning looks and maybe a six-figure price to match. Enter the Cadillac XLR-V.
As in Cadillac's other V-series offerings, the "V" in 2008 Cadillac XLR-V signals a generous helping of velocity-biased hardware. Under the hood sits a hand-built 4.4-liter V8 that's been supercharged to the tune of 443 horsepower. It's complemented by firmer suspension tuning and upgraded brakes. Visual cues like 19-inch wheels, a mesh grille and quad exhaust tips clearly signal that this is no ordinary XLR.
For the most part, the Corvette-based XLR-V delivers on its performance promises. Its acceleration will leave several luxury roadsters behind, and the roadster's angular shape still looks distinctive. However, some aspects of the drive leave us cold, such as the vague steering and handling that, while impressive, fails to measure up to the extraordinarily high standards of this class. We also have mixed feelings about the XLR-V's interior. Some materials are appropriately rich, yet others seem quite average, and the cockpit doesn't fit drivers of all heights.
Competition in this class includes such accomplished roadsters as the Mercedes SL-Class, Porsche 911 Cabriolet and Jaguar XKR, as well as the four-seat BMW M6 convertible. Of these, the Porsche offers the most visceral drive; the Mercedes, the best combination of luxury, style and performance, specifically in AMG form. The 2008 Cadillac XLR-V is an interesting domestic alternative and may even turn more heads than the other cars, but if it were our 100 grand, we'd take the Porsche or the Benz.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2008 Cadillac XLR-V is a two-seat luxury roadster. Its retractable hardtop turns the body from a closed coupe to wide-open convertible in under 30 seconds. Nearly every imaginable luxury feature comes standard, including a nine-speaker Bose stereo (with satellite radio), OnStar telematics, a navigation system, keyless start, xenon headlights, adaptive cruise control, a heated steering wheel with power tilt and telescope adjustments, a head-up display and rear park assist.
In fact, the XLR-V's comprehensive equipment list leaves room for only a pair of options: the Alpine White Edition (which features its namesake's exterior hue along with chrome wheels) and chrome wheels. Just like the standard wheels, the chrome versions are 19 inches in diameter and are wrapped in 235/45 front rubber and wider 255/40 rear treads. All XLR-Vs have leather and suede upholstery and real wood interior accents.
Powertrains and Performance
A supercharged 4.4-liter V8 sends 443 hp and 414 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. Power is channeled through a six-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift capability. Cadillac claims the XLR-V can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, which would put it more than a full second ahead of the standard XLR.
Antilock disc brakes, traction control and stability control are all standard. As in all convertibles of this ilk, the XLR-V's side airbags inflate to protect both the head and torso.
Interior Design and Special Features
The cockpit of the XLR-V offers much to like. Its design is mostly simple even with all the state-of-the-art technology. Furthermore, the leather is supple, the wood convincing and build quality solid. However, we find the XLR-V's cockpit less appealing in light of the car's price. The switchgear lacks aesthetic appeal, and some trim pieces have a tacked-on appearance. As in many cars of GM origin, too many functions have been crammed onto the turn-signal stalk. In addition, the steering wheel's a bit large for our tastes, and the limited rearward seat travel may cramp taller drivers.
Driving Impressions
With a jump of 123 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque over the standard XLR, the 2008 Cadillac XLR-V is vastly more responsive. Push on the right pedal and the XLR-V catapults forth on a wave of supercharged torque. Even with its firmer suspension setup, though, the XLR-V is still tuned for a balanced approach between ride and handling, which means it's softer than many rivals. This attribute, combined with a rather heavy and numb steering setup, makes this performance roadster feel a little out of its element on winding roads.
However, in normal driving, the XLR-V feels swift and stable. Cowl shake is nearly nonexistent, and the V8 sounds terrific. Wind buffeting can get somewhat intrusive with the top down, but the XLR-V is whisper-quiet with its top up.

Episode 2 of 3
Duration: 1 hour
Watched by spycams, chicks are hatching out all over. Male emperors form an identity parade before handing over their newborns to the returning females. The mothers shuffle into a huddle to protect their offspring from a blizzard. Outside, one tiny chick doesn't make it and lies frozen by his mother. Chickcam films the young ones walking on their mothers' feet and taking their own first unsteady steps. Females without young try to kidnap the new arrivals and giant petrels force the chicks to huddle for protection.
On the Falklands, rockhopper chicks meet some unruly neighbours - king cormorants. Predatory vultures are seen off by a penguin army. Caracara birds grab an eggcam and film the aerial shots of the colony! Parents take a rock shower and even 'chimney climb' to their own private spa. The chicks face more predators and bereaved parents plan a chicknap.
In Peru, Humboldt chicks emerge into the desert. The adults leave their burrow plastered in mud and needing a bath. They're joined in the waves by Humboltcam and boisterous fur seals. Home alone, the chicks shoot gulls with projectile poo and the colony faces a huge cormorant invasion.
The chicks are learning to become adult penguins.

Deon is a short-and-sweet name with a contemporary American sound. It's probably enjoyed more popularity as Deion, but it's punchy feel could make a "D" name of the future.
