The Animal Dialogues
Published on Friday, November 15, 2013 - 8:59am
The encounters Craig Childs relates in The Animal Dialogues are unique for two reasons: his life spent in courting such encounters, and his skill in making readers feel we are present and sharing the experience with him. Our adrenaline rises with his as he confronts a mountain lion about to attack, circling from ten feet away to try to get behind him:
"It keeps walking, focusing straight on me, not stepping left or right of its line. Its motion is sleek and exact, revealing that it has no intention of stopping short of me."
He turned with it, moving his head to keep its eyes on his. He says, "There have been cases in which a lion cleared 20 feet in about a second when eye contact was broken." Fortunately, the lion eventually left, its attack pattern baffled.
All his forty vignettes are compelling, even without the presence of danger. In the introduction, he describes his encounter with a great blue heron and makes you feel the wildness and the size and power of it as it made its landing on a telephone pole directly over his head:
"You want to ask questions now, now that the heron is so close. But you can't. You can't get a word out. You just stare for as long as you can because suddenly it will be over, you will get your name back and life will begin again."
But you have to look up and pay attention to be caught up by the heron this way.
The author suggests reading each of the 40 vignettes of a species on its own, and going out into nature to have one's own encounter, in between. I didn't manage that, but I did try to at least take a moment before continuing. I read the book first in the downloaded version on a Kindle, then later re-read parts of it as a regular book in order to write this review.
I discovered the Kindle version had given a more intense experience; it seems to lead to a closer focus on each page in turn. (However, I also found that a tablet is not a good way to skim a book looking for material for a review; for that, the physical book was much easier.)
Either way,this book is a wonderful way to experience nature, and to absorb some fascinating information along the way.

Box Score After a scoreless first period, Kolb got the scoring started five minutes into the second, off the sticks of Scott Henegar (Trenton, MI/Trenton) and Kyle Heck(Plover, WI/SPASH). Five minutes later Heck connected on a goal of his own, giving the Pointers the 2-0 lead. Adrian then scored five unanswered to take the 5-2 lead. With 1:30 left on the clock, Kolb connected on his second goal of the evening, but Adrian responded with a goal of its own 30 second later. Alex Brooks (Grand Rapids, MI) netted a goal with five seconds left in the game, but it was not enough as the Bulldogs skated to the 6-4 victory. The loss snaps a four-game winnings streak for UWSP. UWSP (8-6-1, 4-6-1 NCHA) returns to action Jan. 4 as it hosts St. Olaf. Face-off set for 7 p.m. The Pointers will hold their annual "Skate with the Pointers" night.

Today's guest post is from Mars Dorian who writes over at I luv Empire – which is his online comic and project to make the world a more epic place. Mars is German and we hung out while I was living in Berlin (and talked together in German of course).
This post shares his Japanese learning story and strategy… presented in his Japanese Manga-like drawing style with himself as the main character! It's over to you Mars!
1) Since my early childhood, I was OBSESSED with Japanese culture. I loved the animation, the food and everything that came from that odd, little country on the other side of the globe. I knew in my guts that I was DEFINITELY going to go there someday. It was only a matter of time.
2) Then in my early twenties, when I was in Australia, it came to me: I was living with Japanese peeps in China town, and I said to myself: Hell – I'm going to Japan next… and I'm going to dominate this language in less than a year!
I knew this was going to be a tough challenge, but I have a passion that's strong enough to melt the moon, and the focus of a Terminator hunting down his target. And you know what? I did indeed succeed in this mad quest.
This is how I did it:
3) Total immersion:
Since I was going to live in Australia for almost a year, I had to bring Japan to ME. And that meant buying Japanese books, listening to Japanese music, eating Sushi, consuming Japanese cartoons and animation…hell, even getting a Japanese girlfriend. I completely surrounded myself with my target language, in order to get the MAXIMUM input.
Lesson: Do the same. Bring your target language into your daily life. Change the language settings of your browser and mp3 player, eat that food, watch online videos…your imagination is the only limit here!
4) When it came to actually learning, I focused almost exclusively on the 1000 most used words in Japanese. It turns out that if you understand the 1000 most used words, you understand about 80% of daily conversations.
This brings many advantages: First, you understand your target language much sooner, and as a sweet side effect, you'll raise your self-confidence which results in better language learning!
Often said, but works like magic in real life. It's a well-known psychological trick that if you ask yourself "What would (insert person here) do?", you begin to act like them.
That's why I pretended to be a Japanese at times, mimicking their gestures and speaking flow. It's amazing how powerful it worked – my pronunciation improved dramatically!
And remember: it's a learning aid. It's not about going crazy and being someone you are not
6) Have redonculous fun.
You may say this is obvious, but it's NOT. Many times I learned the language when I was in a bad mood and just didn't feel like it, and as a result I didn't learn much!
Being in a good state DRAMATICALLY increases your receptiveness – the better you feel the better you learn.
So, make sure you get into kick-ass mode before you learn – hell, dance like a monkey on fire if that helps you. But do it in your target language

A Time for Anticipation | For Front Office, More of the Same Means More $$$$ | MiFID Brings New Trading, Data Management Opportunities | Easdaq Makes a Comeback as Equiduct | Clearing Firms Extend Their Outsourcing Businesses |
MiFID Brings New Trading, Data Management Opportunities
January 1, 2007
Judith Hardt, secretary general of the Federation of European Stock Exchanges, says that the jockeying for position among European exchanges and their increasingly feisty member firms is "like playing chess with all the pieces moving at the same time."
The game is being redefined by the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), which requires that firms offer their clients best execution-a concept that incorporates not only price, but also speed, certainty and costs of clearing and settlement. The directive eliminates the concentration rule that forces trades in a number of European countries to be conducted on national exchanges and gives rise to a new category of players called systematic internalizers, which can match trades on their own books.
The European Commission sees MiFID as central to its efforts to break down barriers to cross-border securities trading and usher in a single European capital market. Until recently, "much fanfare has been made about the mega costs of complying with the directive," says Graham Bishop, a London consultant specializing in European Union legislation. But Bishop, who recently wrote a report commissioned by consulting firm LogicaCMG on business opportunities related to MiFID, believes that its provisions create an attractive opening for "new high-speed trading platforms."
As the November 2007 deadline for MiFID implementation looms for the 25 European Union member states and three nonmembers, investment firms are showing a willingness to challenge the dominance of established exchanges. Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs Group, Merrill Lynch & Co., Morgan Stanley and UBS-under the banner of Project Turquoise-in November announced plans to form a joint, pan-European trading platform. Together, the seven banks account for more than 50 percent of share-trading volumes on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). All are also backers of an alternative trade reporting facility that came together this past summer, code-named Project Boat.
There's more: Chi-X, a multilateral trading facility built by global agency brokerage Instinet, has introduced trading in U.K., German and Dutch equities. Equiduct, led by former Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein director of IT strategy Robert Fuller, is using the technology of the defunct Easdaq and Nasdaq Europe to create a new electronic, pan-European trading platform, planned to launch in the second quarter of 2007.
These initiatives come as the major European exchanges, not least the LSE, are fielding or making takeover bids and facing competitive pressures that are exacerbated by the new entrants. The track record of upstart trading systems from the dot-com era is spotty-Jiway, a joint venture of Morgan Stanley and Stockholm's OMX, failed, and London's Tradepoint was absorbed into the SWX Group's virt-x-but times have changed, the memberships are resolute and the exchanges have little choice but to take notice.
Competitive Response
"Our investment in technology and trading services continues to reduce the cost of trading markedly for all investors," LSE spokesperson John Wallace said in reaction to Project Turquoise. "Since the 1997 introduction of [LSE trading platform] Sets, the average weighted spread of shares in the FTSE 100 has been reduced from 96 basis points to 14. The London market is already open to competition with the existence of various trading venues."

Many pop and rock stars have attempted to cross over into country, but Sheryl Crow seems to be one of the rare artists who actually pulls the genre change off. Her debut country single, "Easy," is now in the top 20 on the country chart with her full-length country album, Feels Like Home , set for a September 10 release. The decision to focus on country fans isn't just a marketing ploy for Sheryl though.
"I've seen other kind of pop-oriented people come over to the format and kinda try to capitalize on the loyalty of the country fan base, and I'm super-persnickety about it," Sheryl says. "I feel like it's a humbling experience to get to play for these fans."
Since moving to Nashville about a decade ago, Sheryl has recorded with the likes of Brooks & Dunn and shared the stage with Brad Paisley a few times. Brad was actually the person who encouraged Sheryl to make the move into country.
She explains, "Brad Paisley came to me and said, 'Now is the time. You need to come to the format that you should have been at a long time ago.' I said, 'Well, ultimately, I'll do what I do, and I'm gonna write with writers. I'm gonna up my game. Ultimately the fans decide.'"
Sheryl's devotion to the craft of songwriting is another big reason she wanted to make a country album. She says, "Used to [be] you had some great songwriting at pop and at rock. I feel like the best songwriting, undeniably, and the best artistry exists in country. So, you know, I hope they feel like I belong here."
Sheryl is working overtime to connect with fans with a Q&A session on her Facebook page Thursday at 5 p.m. ET.

'To Kill a Mockingbird' … and a diet
A classic Southern story such as "To Kill a Mockingbird" should be followed, ideally, by a classic Southern desert, and this weekend at Lefont Sandy Springs Theater they'll be dishing up a heaping helping of both. Screenings of the documentary "Hey, Boo: Harper Lee and 'To Kill a Mockingbird'" at 10:30 a.m. Saturday and "Mockingbird" at 10:30 a.m. Sunday will be followed by panel discussions with civil rights experts, then capped by complimentary banana pudding receptions.

LDAP: It's a (Non-Relational) Database, Stupid
The topic of LDAP shows up from time to time when speaking about non-relational databases. While I do encourage you to read the whole post, just check this summary:
LDAP is a protocol and a data model for providing access to a hierarchal (tree-shaped) database. The database itself is normally referred to as a "directory" (hence the name), a bit of nomenclature inherited from its predecessor, X.500, populated with objects that are bundles of attributes. LDAP supports direct lookup of an object by name, searches through subtrees or through the whole directory for objects matching a sophisticated pattern language, atomic updates to part of or all of individual objects, and network federation.
How many of these features are fundamental parts of the what we call today NoSQL databases?
But LDAP, like the other hierarchical storage implementing the Java Content Repository spec[1], didn't fly too high. What NoSQL can learn from LDAP history discusses some possible causes of LDAP's "failure".
Disclaimer: years ago I've been a big proponent of the JCR and one of the most interesting systems I've built is using a JCR implementation (but also a relational database and soon another NoSQL database). ↩

Marc Hermann, The Daily News
Model Liskula Cohen is suing Google over an anonymous blog posting in which she was called a "skank" and a "ho." Coehn broke down in court as her attorney, Steven Wagner, read to the judge what had been posted.
In a precedent-setting case that will no doubt have far-reaching consequences in the burgeoning field of blogging (and fashion blogging in particular), cover model Liskula Cohen sued none other than Google for the right to unmask the blogger who maligned her -- and won.
Cohen is now entitled to file a defamation lawsuit against the writer behind the now-defunct blog "Skanks in NYC," who called the model a "skank," "psychotic," and worse in a blog post months ago. But here's the kicker: Turns out Cohen already knew the anonymous blogger.
As she told Good Day America this morning, she "jumped for joy and laughed" when she found out her alleged defamer was someone she'd already known socially. She was so excited, she even called the woman and forgave her. "She can walk around with a chip on her shoulder. It's not my job ... It's sad," she said.
Since then, Cohen has been determined to get the name of the person who insulted her. As her lawyer told the NY Daily News back in March, the cruel words are "affecting her business." Once the court ruled in her favor, Google -- who runs the Blogger.com site that "Skanks in NYC" used -- was forced to provide the name of the infamous writer behind the insults.
Ms. Cohen is no stranger to legal woes: In 2007, the model received 46 stitches in her face after a man at a nightclub hurled a glass at her.
Needless to say, the case will force many bloggers in the industry who have made a habit out of -- or, in some cases, have built entire careers upon -- ridiculing models and celebrities to think before posting.

Availability: Usually Ships Within 24-48 Hours
Ultimate Life The Ultimate Meal 30 Servings - 42.3 oz (1200 g)
Ultimate Life The Ultimate Meal is the finest, most potent and complete source of nourishment available anywhere at any price. Ultimate Life believe that the optimum source of nourishment for the human body does NOT come in the form of synthetic vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, tablets, powders, pills, or for that matter, cooked or processed foods or any animal products. It DOES, however, come in the form of raw, properly sprouted, freeze-dried, cold-milled and preferably organic plant foods that have their enzymes and nutrients intact as nature intended, as well as natural, potent anti-oxidants in optimum, not trace amounts. The Ultimate Meal™ are the only products to fill this need. No gimmicks, just the ingredients which are the ultimate FOOD sources of each and every nutrient essential for optimum health, vitality and energy. In most cases this eliminates the need to take any supplements (vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, etc.) which normally pays for itself. The Ultimate Meal™ and Mealbar™ are totally free of yeast-based vitamins and minerals, soy protein, MSG, salt, wheat, corn, yeast, eggs, dairy products, sugar, honey, fructose, caffeine, ginseng, etc. as well as artificial preservatives, flavors, coloring, fillers and animal products. At least TWO servings daily. The Ultimate Meal™ is the most efficient and nutritious meal you can have. Ideal for BREAKFAST, LUNCH and/or DINNER. It also does wonders AFTER EXERCISING, as it revitalizes the whole body. And yes, most people tell us that it keeps their hunger satisfied and their body energized far longer than conventional meals (about 3-6 hrs).
The Ultimate Meal - Nothing Even Comes Close
What is The Ultimate Meal™? A supplement ?No; it is a WHOLE, complete meal which needs NO supplementation. A meal replacement? It is BEYOND a mere replacement, hence an entirely NEW standard for a meal (a lightbulb is far more than a mere replacement for a candle). A protein shake?No; it is FAR MORE than a protein shake; it is a WHOLE MEAL which contains the most assimilable protein in ideal, not excessive amounts; thus it does NOT deplete the body of calcium like protein shakes do. A liquid meal? No; it is a SOLID meal that is PULVERIZED to ease digestion and assimilation.For weight-loss? A more precise description would be: It will help you lose EXCESS fat tissue IF you have it while retaining and BUILDING muscle tissue if you exercise.Should I have it with other foods? No; it is a whole, COMPLETE meal which you should have by itself. You will find it will satisfy your hunger longer than ANYTHING else you can have.How does it taste? Delicious . . . providing the directions are followed and it is prepared properly. Just as flour itself does not determine the taste of a cookie, The Ultimate Meal™ tastes as great as the smoothie to which it is added. If you like the fruit smoothie by itself, you'll like it with The Ultimate Meal™. Do you need a blender?The Ultimate Life highly suggest using it for better consistency and flavor, as well as the major advantage of being able to use WHOLE fruits.Why reverse osmosis (R.O.) purified water? R.O. purification (unlike distillation) is the only DEFINITIVE method of removing heavy metals and chemicals from tap water, which is usually toxic. Use purified water for drinking, cooking and washing everything you eat. You can buy The Ultimate Water Purifier™ (the best five-stage R.O. system WITH a carbon block) at almost wholesale. Have it immediately (not quickly): To prevent the ingredients in The Ultimate Meal™ from oxidizing and the fiber from absorbing the liquid smoothie, it is important to have it within 5 to 15 minutes of preparation . . . but don't rush it. "Chew" each mouthful: Very few people realize the fact that digestion begins in the mouth, not in the stomach. The act of chewing or mastication releases the digestive enzymes in the saliva which help with better digestion and assimilation of nutrients from our food. This is why, in spite of the fact that it is already pulverized, it is very important to "chew" each mouthful of The Ultimate Meal™ a few times before swallowing. Why no vegetable juices: The Ultimate Meal™ is nutritionally far MORE potent than most vegetables and/or their juices, e.g. Spirulina is richer than carrot juice in beta carotene and richer than spinach in chlorophyll! This is why in most cases, using vegetable juices would be redundant.
Color, taste and texture variances: Since The Ultimate Meal™ is not an over-processed "liquid meal", the color, taste and texture may vary. Also, The Ultimate Life recommend you check the evolution and list of ingredients periodically because they may have added or subtracted any of them in order to maintain the status of The Ultimate Meal™ as the best it can possibly be at ANY given time. Period.
Why is it green? It certainly was not in vogue when The Ultimate Life started this concept over 15 years ago, but in case you have not noticed yet, green is in! The problem is, a small amount of any sub-standard algae will turn anything green.
The primary source of greenness in The Ultimate Meal™ and The Ultimate Mealbar™ (the first and only green bar anywhere) is a therapeutic dose (by far the highest in the industry) of the ultimate quality spirulina on Earth from Hawaii, which is one of their most expensive ingredients. It also happens to be THE richest source of beta carotene and chlorophyll (the primary detoxifying agent in dark green vegetables, which comes only in green). Without chlorophyll, it would be The Almost Ulitmate Meal. . . They would rather inform and educate than lower their standards.
Freshness & Shelf-Life:The Ultimate Life™ products are packaged using the following state-of-the-art methods for maintaining our extremely high standards for freshness:
Many of our customers buy our products by the case (12 or more) due to the generous discounts offered by us. A single individual can buy up to 48 containers of any of The Ultimate Life™ products without any concern for freshness or shelf life.
Important Facts You Ought to Know about The Ultimate Life:
The Ultimate Life CredoAt The Ultimate Life™, they do not manufacture nor do they suggest using most or all of their products to create more profit . . . far from it. They do it because they believe it is the only way to achieve the highest level of well-being. The key is the way their products work together synergistically. Also, they have found no one is willing to manufacture products with the unusually high standards they have created. Don't forget, everything they make is guaranteed and risk-free.
The Ultimate Life StoryIn 1981, Sam Gerard moved to Santa Barbara, California, where he started & ran a business, totally unrelated to the health industry. This was when he had an epiphany: "My body is the only shell I'll occupy, so I will never take it for granted". So he decided to live up to his perfectionism, & became obsessed with eating perfectly. Utilizing the knowledge he'd acquired from pre-med courses, he immersed himself in researching & studying the nutritional & ecological aspects of the ideal human diet, based upon clinical HUMAN studies worldwide, as well as personal experience, made even more relevant due to his extremely sensitive skin & digestive system.
This led to the following discovery: The ultimate sources of nourishment for the human body do not come in the form of synthetic pills & powders, cooked or processed foods, or any animal product in any form. They come in the form of raw &/or properly sprouted, preferably freeze-dried & certified organic PLANT foods, which have their nutrients & enzymes intact, as they do in nature.
However, since most of us often live in an unnaturally stressful environment, & free radicals are the primary cause of aging & diseases, it's also important to supplement our diets with concentrated anti-oxidants derived from plants, in proper quantities. In most cases (healthy humans under 40), this would eliminate the need for supplementation virtually entirely.
By now Sam had become a nutritional consultant, while he spent 4 hours daily creating, preparing his intricate & ultra-healthy meals. However, in spite of his overall well-being reaching new peaks, being an efficiency fanatic, he started researching a more efficient way of nourishing himself, without compromising his standards.
He discovered many "superfoods" were the answer, some of which were the ultimate. But when he looked for a product that contained nothing but those ultimate ingredients, there was nothing...a fact that holds true to this day. Everything had their token 1 or 2 good, or maybe even great ingredients, with the rest being virtually worthless fillers.
This is when Sam decided to make his own concoction, with nothing but the ultimate. Period.
After numerous formulations, he found the ultimate, which surpassed every expectation. When those around him wanted it as well...then started telling everyone about 'The Ultimate Powder', he renamed it The Ultimate Meal, trademarked the name, had it packaged professionally, & started to make it available to the general public as well. It was 1982, & the response was unbelievable, followed by exponential growth.
As the years went by & new information & better ingredients became available, Sam continued improving The Ultimate Meal & called them Evolutions. Then, again due to their lack of existence, he created & formulated The Ultimate FloraZyme, then The Ultimate Defense, & finally The Ultimate Blue-Green, all of which go through their own evolutions. This is why ALL our products are the ultimate they can possibly be at any given time.
THE ULTIMATE TEST: On November 28th, 1988, Sam had an opportunity to put his program to the ultimate test when he was struck, then run over by a truck, while crossing the street as a pedestrian. He suffered numerous injuries, the worst being his left femur, which was crushed into 3 pieces, one of which stuck out of his skin.
PROGNOSIS: Sam was told he would have a limp, shooting pains, & rheumatoid arthritis, plus need a cane, for the rest of his life. He was 30.
However, none of it came true. With the help of Tai-Chi & his ultimate vegan diet, which included The Ultimate Meal (their other products came later) with the newly-added Horsetail herb (which he'd just discovered in his quest to prove all the "experts" wrong), he exceeded every prognosis & expectation by healing almost completely, and at record speed. The results were so undeniable & spectacular, that the orthopedic surgeon started prescribing it to his patients.
By the early nineties, in order to meet the demand for The Ultimate Meal by health care practitioners & health food stores (who'd heard about it from their patrons), Sam stopped consulting, & The Ultimate Life became the primary focus of his life.
At least 2 scoops every day. Unlike "liquid meals" or imitations, The Ultimate Meal will keep your hunger satisfied for 3-6 hours! Perfect for Breakfast, Lunch &/or Dinner. Also ideal 2 hours before or 15 minutes after exercising.

The amounts of the ingredients (including and especially the anti-oxidants) in THE ULTIMATE MEAL™ are formulated and based upon having TWO servings every day which maintains the nutritional momentum. One serving would provide less than half the optimum benefit.THE ULTIMATE MEAL™ provide the ideal breakfast because they are the best combination of a light and yet nutritionally complete meal. Most people tell us that they are satisfied, without feeling hungry, even past lunch time. After all, the primary cause of hunger is NOT an empty stomach; it is lack of nourishment! This is why you can eat junk food (potato chips, cookies, etc.) for weeks without feeling full . . . you will feel sick, but not full. The body expends much energy while digesting conventional chewable meals, especially during the day when your mind and body are very active. This is why the second THE ULTIMATE MEAL™ should be consumed around lunch time or after a workout, to replenish glycogen and revitalize your whole body without wasting valuable energy.It would be ideal to have THE ULTIMATE MEAL™ for dinner also (many people have it three times daily!), but we enjoy chewing on foods, too! The best time for this is in the evening, when your mind and body are at rest, thus enabling your blood to concentrate on your digestive system for proper assimilation of nutrients. Remember to chew well and don't forget to take THE ULTIMATE FLORAZYME™. IF YOU CAN'T HAVE IT TWICE DAILY: If you are simply unable to have two full smoothies in one day, here is the solution: Use TWO scoops of THE ULTIMATE MEAL™ instead of one (or at least a heaping one), to insure getting ALL the nutrients and anti-oxidants necessary for that day.
EXERCISE, BODYBUILDING AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES: Have THE ULTIMATE MEAL® or MEALBAR® at least 1 to 2 hrs. BEFORE exercising to allow enough time for proper digestion. This will give you SUSTAINABLE energy WITHOUT refined sweeteners or stimulants such as sugar, honey, fructose, caffeine, guarana, ginseng, amphetamines, etc.> Another ideal time to have THE ULTIMATE MEAL® is shortly AFTER exercising to replenish glycogen, to reduce muscle pain and cramps, as well as to revitalize the whole body.Athletes and bodybuilders who train intensely should DOUBLE their daily intake of THE ULTIMATE MEAL® or THE ULTIMATE MEALBAR® for more stamina, endurance, bulk and caloric intake.> Fruit smoothies and electricity are obviously scarce when indulging in camping, hiking, rock climbing and moutaineering. The obvious solution is THE ULTIMATE MEALBAR®.

Let's start the conversion with the step-by-step guide on how to transcode your Canon XF100 1080p MXF files to AIC and then import them to iMovie for editing.
Step 1: Import Canon XF100 1080p MXF files to the top MXF to iMovie Converter;
Launch the MXF to iMovie Converter on Mac. Click the button "File" to add MXF files to it or directly drag and drop the files your MXF files. If it is necessary, you can double click the each file to have a preview.
If you have multiple Canon XF100 1080p MXF files, you can select all files and click "Merge" to merge the files into one single file for iMovie so that you can play these files without interruption.
Step 2: Select an output format for iMovie and set the output folder.
Click on the "Format" and you will get a dropdown menu. Move you pointer to iMovie and Final Cut Express > Apple Intermediate Codec(AIC) (*.mov). The Apple Intermediate Codec(AIC) is the compatible format for iMovie and FCE. Then you can set the output folder by clicking "Browse" icon as you need.
Step 3: Click "Settings" icon to adjust audio and video parameters.
Click the "Settings" icon and you will go into a new interface named "Profile Settings". You can adjust codec, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate and audio channel in the interface according to your needs and optimize the output file quality.
Note 1: You'd better set the video frame rate as 30fps, video size as 1920*1080 to keep the best quality for editing in Final Cut Pro, If the 60p/60i/30p is your original frame rate. But if you shoot with 50p/50i/25p, then 25fps as the frame rate will be your best choice when conversion. If you want to have a smaller file size but keep the good quality, you can change the video size to 1440*1080.
Note 2: You can customize the defaults and save them as custom conversion settings without affecting the original default selection.
Step 4: Start converting your Canon XF100 MXF files to AIC for iMovie.

text: So I went and looked at an 02, and note that I know little to nothing about these cares. So after taking it for a test drive my buddy swiped his hand in the exhaust and it came out sorta wet and sooty, is this just turbo blow off or is it burning oil? Heres what the car has done to it hks bov, cobb 3 inch down pipe, skunk2 3 inch exhaust, cobb cold air, manual boost controlor, perrin innercooler hoses, uni chip piggy back ecu. Please inform me on anything to look out for on this. Also the oil was clean when I checked it also, my friend seems to thing the blow off valve is too loud and that it is blowing off too often is this pushing too much boost or what? Any input would be great thanks

Adam L. Saucedo wrote a review of Sol Republic Amps In-Ear Earbuds on April 5, 2014
Does not work well at the gym
Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got these earbuds for the gym since I lost my SkullCandy earbuds. For me, the ear buds do not stay in my ears and I've used different sizes for the buds -- just doesn't seem to stay in. I am constantly adjusting them to make sure they stay in. I am not able to get one set in without having one of them fall out. Also, my ears hurt after having them in for an hour or so -- Not recommended.

Find Time for Fun Family Activities
Amanda Beard
I find it very important to get the whole family up and moving. It shows our children that exercise is not only important to staying healthy and fit, but it can also be fun! Exercise doesn't always mean 30 minutes on the treadmill or an hour long training session. Make exercise something your kids look forward to too!
Here are some fun ideas for you and your gang:
- Grab your bikes and take a family ride. Pack a healthy picnic for a mid-ride rest stop.
- Take a stroll to your local park, bring a basketball to play a quick round of horse with the whole family.
- Dust off your old clubs, make a trip to the local driving range and have a fun contest to see who can hit the farthest
- A game of family dodgeball is always entertaining and you will definitely work up a sweat! Throw in a competitive edge and encourage everyone to get involved by letting the winner choose what's for dinner.
For any of those older kids who think they are "too cool" for family time, extend an invite to their best bud. They'll be bound to get involved and have some fun with friends around.
So round up the troops and get moving – you'll be amazed by how dynamic things become when your family's competitive side kicks in!

I have cranked on previous occasions about how frustrated I am that the river of government handout money for road repair seems to be a raging, never-ending torrent (Cranking here is one thing. You should hear me when I'm circumnavigating construction sites trying to get to work!!), while commercial construction firms can't seem to get enough credit to be able to move a shovel full of dirt. The holdup doesn't seem to be so much a desire to receive a D.C. handout as it does a need to have credit availability return to some level of sanity.
Today, the American Institute of Architects, Washington, cranked a little at Congress.
Here's what the press release tells us was said: Tampa-based architect, Mickey Jacob, FAIA, unveiled the American Institute of Architects' (AIA) Rebuild Renew plan for both short- and long-term economic recovery to the House Committee on Small Business at a hearing today. "Small business does not want a bailout. We want access to loans to bridge the economic downturn to help fund operational costs. We want relief from the premium costs of health insurance. We want incentives for people to build, buy, and renovate their homes and businesses. We want the availability of grants that assist in the acquisition and implementation of new technologies to keep small business competitive in the worldwide marketplace. These are investments in the future of the country," Jacob testified (Download Mickey's entire statement here.)
The AIA Rebuild Renew Plan recommends these steps:
- Make financing available for design and construction projects.
- Provide tax relief for small businesses.
- Make tax policies work for recovery.
- Rebuild our infrastructure for the 21st century.
- Build the new green economy.

I applaud the AIA for being proactive, not just today, but throughout this recession. I just hope that Congress starts to listen.—Gary L. Parr

What Are Good Cookie Recipes for Diabetics?
Good Questions
Q: My soon to be father-in-law just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I was going to send him cookies for Christmas but now I'm not quite sure. As a type 1 diabetic, I remember a chocolate chip cookie recipe my mother used to make — they had oats in them, almost no sugar besides the chocolate chips — but when I asked her, she informed me that she'd long ago given away the cookbook she got the recipe from.
Do you have any idea where to find the recipe I'm looking for? Or any other suggestions?
Sent by Sarah
Editor: Sarah, we don't have direct experience with baking for diabetics, but we did find this recipe (pictured above) which sounds similar to what you're talking about:
• Banana-Oat Cookies from Diabetic Living
Readers, do you have other suggestions for diabetic-friendly cookies or sweet gifts for Sarah to send to her father-in-law-to-be?

16 Comments
Nikki's Healthy Cookies from 101cookbooks.com sound like they'd be right up your alley, too.
1/2 cup honey in a recipe recommended to diabetics? Hell no. That's more than a teaspoon of honey in each cookie--not to mention the sugar in the banana, which is one of the highest-sugar fruits around.
As a type 1 diabetic for 12 years, I can tell you: those cookies are kryptonite.
There is no "diabetic diet." If you want a cookie, your options are: (a) eat one and exercise and watch your sugar closely or (b) don't eat one.
"Diabetic" recipes are bulls---.
Could you find some recipe with agave nectar instead of honey or sugar?
I think it really depends on the person, but type 2 is quite different from type 1, in my experience. Having lived with a type 2 diabetic for years (and having had a too-close-for-comfort encounter with the condition myself), I would advise against sending cookies to someone who has just been recently diagnosed. Not for the purpose of saving him from the doom and destruction of a few extra carbs in their diet, but rather to avoid stirring up any troubling food-related emotions he may be experiencing. This time of year is already fraught with copious anxiety over food choices, particularly for a diabetic, and the double-whammy of a recent diagnosis is likely to stir up some extra worry.
As an alternative, what about a care package with some holiday-spiced teas you pack yourself, or roasted and spiced nuts, or some combination of low-gi winter fruits (apples, pears, oranges) and cheeses? this might be received as less of an agonizing temptation and more of a thoughtful, caring gift.
also, pretty much any type of sugar (including agave, honey, maple syrup) has the potential to spike a person's blood sugar, depending on their individual tolerance for such things.
My stepdaughter is type 1, and instead of cookies we set out nuts, or cubed cheese and fancy meats for our parties. And if I can find it, some nice beef jerkies are a welcome idea too. Things that she can snack on without us worrying about her insulin levels.
I like the idea of sending a care package with tea or nuts or something other than cookies. While cookies are great as a treat, the person would probably appreciate that you tailored the gift to their needs.
I would suggest looking up recipes that use splenda or other alternative sugars, but I've never had much luck making desserts that taste very good with those.
Another type 1 diabetic here. I agree that you should just skip the cookies, unless he specifically requested them. There's so much pressure this time of year to have "just one". Tea or coffee or spiced nuts are great ideas.
I am also a type 1 diabetic. In the age of Splenda, there is no reason why diabetics can't eat any dessert that substitutes sugar for the artificial stuff. It's a one-for-one replacement, and no one can ever tell that you made the recipe without sugar.
While I normally use white flour and Splenda if I'm baking for both myself and guests, I often use whole wheat and soy flour instead if it's just me and the family. The lower glycemic index is easier on the blood sugar levels - but the soy bakes faster so you will probably need to adjust times to that the goodies don't burn. It's also a little dryer - but it's not a terrible trade off.
After reading the comment on Splenda I was going to send you to a recipe using brown sugar splenda and pumpkin, but then I looked up the glycemic index of pumpkin and there's no way I would feel good about providing that link. My point: even if you think the recipe is ok, perhaps you should check all the ingredients' glycemic indexes on-line!
After one christmas baking with splenda for me recently diagnosed type-2 stepdad, I've just given up and moved into olives, nuts, pickles and cheeses. I know this isn't an answer to your question, but pickled things by Rick's Picks have been my go-to gift for my hard-to-buy-for diabetic for a few years now!
I'm not a doctor, so obviously don't take my words as a final say, but pumpkin is a perfectly fine food for diabetics. If you look at canned, unsweetened pumpkin (NOT canned pumpkin pie filling), there is very little carbohydrate per serving, and even less sugar.
Glycemic load is another way to evaluate the impact a particular food will have on blood sugar - it takes into account how much carbohydrate is contained in a given serving as a percentage of its total size. The glycemic index simply measures how quickly it will get into your bloodstream.
I cook with pumpkin all the time, and my pies (which I make using nut-based crusts) always get rave reviews from the non-diabetics!
While your heart is in the right place, I beg you as a child who lost her Father to complications from this very disease, do not do send him cookies.
Being recently diagnosed is a head trip in and of itself and he will be undergoing a tremendous amount of stress around it because if he wants to live and keep his limbs and stay off dialysis and keep his eyesight he needs to do a major dietary change. A better gift would be to offer to pay for a few sessions with a Registered Dietician who specializes in his type of disease - that will show how much you care.
I so agree with kodaly, my husband is a type 2 diabetic... and it took us years to adjust to living with diabetes as a family. It is not just adapting one's diet and it isn't about removing all treats - it is about recognizing where their sugar levels are at the time and what to eat to get things level. I would stay away from a foody gift there is too much emotional stuff going on!!! A care package is great what about a foot care package with some nice minty scrubs and creams. Diabetics have to take special care of their feet. I know my husband would love that. Great that you are being so thoughtful how many gifts my hubs has received that he had to say thank-you for but couldn't enjoy - some foods are just no-no foods. I always keep some muffin mix (http://www.se7en.org.za/2009/05/06/se7en-million-marvelous-muffins-a-low-gi-recipe) on hand so that I can whip up a treat for him when the rest of us are indulging.
thanks for all of the suggestions, everybody...the reason i want to make him cookies is because i have no doubt that he will continue to "cheat" on his diet, and will eat whatever he wants (we're talking about a pretty stubborn, set-in-his-ways guy, here), so i want to offer him an alternative to what he normally eats. kind of a way to show him that, if he's going to keep eating cookies, there are options that will hurt him less in the long run.
also because i have no money and am baking for pretty much everybody on my christmas list this year =)
Looks like alot of resources here. I love the suggestions of nuts and olives. I also do a veggie tray with greek yogurt and onion dip. But would love more side dish recipies. The holidays are hard because its the only time i have to consider this and food is SO emotional.
Bananas are not for diabetics

"Dislike" Michael Jacobson
Those that know me know that I don't get too political. Just ask my political science professor from Stevens Point, Prof Wang (actual name, I'm not smart enough to make that stuff up). He put the 'mercy' in 'mercy C.' Also there's not a whole lot of political debate on ESPN, milwaukeebrewers.com, or sports.yahoo.com/fantasy. So I can hardly be blamed for my ignorance. But today friends is a different day (cue American the Beautiful playing behind my blog). Late last night I read an article that got me downright upset. Brewers playoff loss upset. It all centered around a brand new burger sold at a restaurant in Boston called Friendly's. I can't possibly think of the adjectives to adequately characterize its awesomeness so here is a photo; disclaimer: Must be 18 to scroll down:
That my friends is a black angus burger with bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo wrapped in-between TWO grilled cheese sammiches. Pure. Filth. So since this burger has been released there have been record sales of it at Friendly's, which led one Michael Jacobson to issue the following:
The Wilbraham restaurant chain is "thumbing its nose at its customers' health" and should be "shut down by the health department," said Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center of Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based consumer health advocacy group. "It's almost a parody of itself," Jacobson said. "It's so high in calories, fat and salt that it's just shocking that a company, in this day and age, would market such a harmful product."…
Ummmmmm....the last time I checked this is America right? Land of the free? Where you can drink and smoke and eat cholesterol bombs to your heart's content (or stoppage)? Like that's an amendment I'm pretty sure. Amendment 10 or something. Google it. Not to mention I'm fairly certain most people don't order this and think "Welp, I guess I'll cut back today and order the sandwich that has both lettuce AND tomato." People know that finishing this burger has inherit health risks. But that's what's great about it. I'm fairly certain that if George Washington himself were alive he'd be eating 8 of these a day all while waiving the American flag and drafting more 'screw off' legislation aimed at the Brits. So to me Michael Jacobson is a communist at best. USA! USA! Bonus word: burger.
PS: How chapped is KFC about this move, they had the cholesterol bomb market cornered with this work of art:
Well Friendly's just threw down the gauntlet. Your move KFC. Your Move.
Double PS: What is the percentage chance that burger was concocted by three Friendly's employees at 3am? Somewhere between 3 and 4 hundred percent?

Ilya Yakovlev graduated from UW-Superior in 1997 with a major in Computer Information Systems and a minor in Accounting. Having a strong interest in computer technologies from a young age, Yakovlev made the decision to continue the pursuit of this passion in his professional career. At UW-Superior he had a job working with the Technology Service Department, and he used that experience to later earn himself a position as the Computer Center Director at St. Cloud State University, located in St. Cloud, MN.
UW-Superior was a great stepping stone for Yakovlev on his career path. He credits his professors, specifically Drs. Trudeau, Reichert, and Jordan, for guiding him to realize where his passions could take him. Even though he knew he wanted to work with computer technology, there are many different directions that he could have gone in to apply his interests. With the help of his professors, he came to realize that, "it is important…to learn what it is that you really enjoy doing at every stage of your career."
Not only did the professors provide him with great support, but it was also through the university that he was able to gain hands-on experience in his field. Yakovlev managed to find work within the Technology Services Department as a student employee. His talents and dedication in the field did not go unnoticed, and Yakovlev eventually received his first full time job working at UW-Superior. He started off employed as a computer programmer, but his consistent, hard work brought him to the next level and introduced him to a position as a supervisor in the department.
After working at UW-Superior, Yakovlev made a slight shift in his focus and took on his current position working as the Computer Center Director at St. Cloud State University. This job requires him to manage the tech department at the college and provide computer support to the university staff. Not only does his job include working with technology, but Yakovlev is also responsible for working with monetary issues such as preparing contracts and working with the budget for the department.
According to Yakovlev, one of the highlights of the job is implementing new technologies into the university system. He enjoys the satisfaction that comes from being able to help other people use the innovations to their benefit. The hardest aspect to his job, however, is working through the meticulous process of getting things done properly. Yakovlev comments, "With management, there is a lot of bureaucracy and red tape that must be overcome."
In today's world, if you do not keep up with technology, you will quickly be left behind. This is why Yakovlev makes sure to stay up to date with the newest technologies; he knows that he cannot get too comfortable with something new, since there is a good chance it will continue to develop into something bigger, better, or potentially very different than the original product. Yakovlev explains, "Ipads (version 1) and Wiis were all the rage just a couple of ago. Today they are old news." Knowing this information, Yakovlev understands the importance of being able to learn new things quickly.
Many people are looking to find a career that has strong job security. Since technology is a part of a booming field that will continue to grow as time goes on, the jobs which correlate to this field will continue to stay in demand. However, Yakovlev realizes the potential for some of these jobs to be outsourced. In order to help secure a job, Yakovlev recommends developing strong social skills, since they are not as easily replaced as technical skills.
Although having a thorough knowledge in technology is a necessity for a job in this type of field, communication is the main quality that will help applicants to gain recognition. Speaking from experience, Yakovlev shares, "Communication skills are everything in this field. Learn to write, speak, and to listen well. Offer training sessions, teach an adjunct class, do whatever it takes to be comfortable in front of large and small groups."
Even though it may not seem relevant to the field, Yakovlev also encourages those who are looking into working with technology to either double major or minor in an area that deals with more than just computers. This not only proves one's ability to learn different things, but it can also show off one's abilities to communicate with different people and on different subject levels. It also keeps the doors open to other job opportunities, since Yakovlev understands that one's interests may change over time.
Ilya Yakovlev was interviewed as a part of the Career Services Day in the Life project. His full interview and those of other UW-Superior alumni can be found on the Day in the Life website, http://www.uwsuper.edu/career/students/a-day-in-the-life.cfm.

To start off 2012 with a bang, The Human Imagination presents artwork created by the 7th and 8th graders of Prince David Kawananakoa Middle School. This month's First Fridays installation, titled "Value in the Role Model," showcases scratchboard art, which draws upon the students' own research and interpretation of whom they see as role models; people that they can aspire to be, respect, draw inspiration from, and look up to. The portraits that will be on display are a culmination of an arduous 5 week unit that primarily addresses value as one of the important elements of art. Special thanks to their teacher OJ Tambio for the opportunity to showcase the Kids Art.

Retirees Lose Life Insurance They Had Counted On
By Jennifer Kraus
Consumer Investigator
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- It used to be that you worked for one company your whole life.
And long-time employees knew that even after they retired, the company would take care of them.
But NewsChannel 5 Investigates has found former employees of a longtime Nashville printing company are now out of luck because their company changed hands -- and they're suddenly losing a benefit they had been promised and had been counting on.
Once a month, retirees from the old Baird Ward printing company get together at a Donelson area restaurant. They have lunch and a good time, remembering the good old days and the company where they spent not only their careers, but much of their lives.
They worked there anywhere from 27 to 43 years.
John McBride worked for Baird Ward for 28 years. When he retired 20 years ago, the company gave him a $15,000 life insurance policy -- which was to go to his wife.
"I was hoping she'd bury me with," he said.
And for the last 20 years, he faithfully sent in the $52 annual premium, never missing a payment, even as the company repeatedly changed hands.
Two years ago, QuadGraphics, a Wisconsin-based printing conglomerate, took over.
QuadGraphics has more than 50 printing facilities around the world, including a plant in Nashville. Two months ago, the company released its first quarter earnings, showing net sales at $990 million, and a recurring cash flow of more than $100 million.
"Doesn't look like they're doing too bad, does it?" McBride said after seeing those figures.
But just two weeks after announcing those figures to investors, McBride got a letter from QuadGraphics saying his life insurance coverage was being discontinued, due to "today's difficult economic climate."
"We paid all this money and get nothing back," McBride said.
And it wasn't just McBride who suddenly discovered that his $15,000 policy was gone.
So did many of the other retirees who gather each month for lunch at the restaurant. L.J. Vann, 84, and his wife Peggy both worked for the company and lost even more.
"About $26 or $27,000," Peggy Vann told NewsChannel 5 Investigates.
So did Betty Vick and her husband, Henry.
Retiree Ron Easler said, "You're getting up where you're not going to live too many more years, you think you're going to collect it and they just pull the rug out from under you."
QuadGraphics told NewsChannel 5 that it was a "difficult decision," but that the life insurance was something offered by a previous owner and is not something QuadGraphics gives its own workers.
A spokesperson said that the company felt it was in its best interest to provide the same benefits to everyone and use the insurance money elsewhere.

But NewsChannel 5 Investigates found corporate filings showing that CEO Joel Quadracci's total compensation last year was worth more than $4 million -- including cash bonus, almost $11,000 in club dues, a personal assistant, personal use of a corporate jet, security for his family, an $8,000 car allowance, and a nearly $43,000 contribution to his retirement account.
"Baird Ward would never ever have done what they have done," retiree Harold Cole said.
The hurt and anger among the retirees is painfully obvious.
"It was just a rotten thing for them to do," Earl Eskew said.
But they also have hope that QuadGraphics will re-instate their insurance policies so their families will be taken care of when they're gone.
"If they would just do what was humanly right and decent," Eskew added.
The retirees said that they'd be happy just to get their premiums back, which for most of them would be about $1,500.
But, at this point, it doesn't even look like that's going to happen.
QuadGraphics said that, when it bought the company two years ago, the pension program was at risk and so they're funding it now. While that is great for other folks who worked for the company, it doesn't help these retirees who left 20 or more years ago.
Most of them opted for a lump sum when they retired.

Guitar Hero: Metallica ConfirmedDetails in an Activision SEC filing uncovered by GameSpot has confirmed the existence of a new Guitar Hero title focused on the long-running heavy metal act Metallica in Guitar Hero: Metallica, scheduled for release in early 2009.
"In fiscal 2009, we plan to publish Guitar Hero: On Tour for the NDS; Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Guitar Hero: Metallica, and Guitar Hero IV across multiple platforms," the company said in the filing.
Activision's 2009 fiscal year ends on March 31 of next year, pinning the previously unannounced Guitar Hero: Metallica for a release prior to that time. The multiple-instrument update to the series, Guitar Hero IV, is expected this fall, making a release in the 2008 calendar year unlikely for Guitar Hero: Metallica.
No platforms were divulged in the filing, though Activision's other band-centric offshoot Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is slated to appear on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, and Wii.
Thanks to Masem for the heads up.
