White biotechnology
Henkel deals very carefully and seriously with all ethical questions relating to biotechnology and genetic engineering. Henkel's field of business is, however, far removed from those areas of genetic engineering that are often hotly debated in public because of ethical issues.
Our strategy is not to exploit the opportunities offered by biotechnology and genetic engineering unless they result in ecological gain, greater benefit for consumers, and economic advantages for Henkel. We limit our activities here to one sub-area of biotechnology – white (or industrial) biotechnology which, when applied as intended, does not release microorganisms. This is a set of practices that use living organisms or their cells or products to generate industrial products and processes. Modern biotechnology is mainly characterized by its targeted use of molecular biological techniques. Among other things, white biotechnology is used to produce enzymes for laundry detergents and automatic dishwashing detergents. These enzymes show significantly better environmental performance, even during their production, than conventionally produced enzymes do. This applies to the carbon dioxide emissions and wastewater pollution levels as well as energy consumption.
Our researchers and product developers therefore work with raw materials manufacturers who produce selected ingredients for laundry detergents and household cleaners with the help of white biotechnology.
Saving energy by means of enzymes produced by biotechnological methods
Enzymes are of vital importance for metabolic processes in plants, animals and humans. They make certain chemical reactions proceed very quickly. Enzymes of the protease class, for example, break down the proteins in the food we eat into their basic building blocks, the amino acids. These in turn combine to create the body's own specific proteins.
The capabilities of enzymes are also used in washing and dishwashing machines. Proteases break down soiling that contains proteins, while lipases remove fatty stains – even at low temperatures. This is why enzymes are important ingredients in laundry and automatic dishwashing detergents. During the life cycle of a laundry or dishwashing detergent – from the raw material through to disposal in a sewage treatment plant – most energy is consumed during the washing process itself. Life cycle analyses have shown that the use phase in the washing machine or dishwasher is the one that requires the most energy and hence generates the most carbon dioxide emissions. Furthermore, much more energy is consumed at high temperatures than at low ones. Enzymes take much of the credit for the excellent results that modern laundry and dishwashing detergents deliver even at low temperatures. It is thanks to these continuously improved enzymes that traditional household helpers have now become especially energy-saving and resource-conserving products that make an important contribution to sustainability.
Microorganisms produce enzymes
If certain bacteria, as naturally occurring microorganisms, are provided with the correct nutrients and kept under the conditions they prefer, they are capable of producing the enzymes that are so useful in detergents as metabolic products. Industrial-scale biotechnological processes have been developed to utilize this phenomenon. The bacteria grow and multiply under controlled conditions in water-filled, closed agitator vessels known as fermenters. The optimal conditions for growth are established by precisely regulating the temperature and the addition of oxygen and nutrients. This results in high enzyme yields. Finally, the enzymes are separated completely from the bacterial cells and the genetic information they contain. To ensure that the enzymes obtained can be readily and safely processed, auxiliary substances such as cellulose, starch and wax are used to develop stable enzyme granules. Since Henkel does not make any enzymes itself, the complete production process is carried out by suppliers. They partner closely with our researchers to develop the optimal enzymes for use in laundry and dishwashing detergents. We also source enzymes from raw materials manufacturers who have developed and optimized such enzymes themselves.
Other ingredients based on white biotechnology
Besides enzymes Henkel's laundry and home care products contain further ingredients based on white biotechnology – e.g. biosurfactants and citric acid. However, we do not produce these ingredients ourselves, but purchase them from our raw materials suppliers. Biosurfactants are washing active substances with a biological provenance. They are manufactured through the action of yeasts or bacteria on renewable raw materials. Citric acid is produced on an industrial scale by a special fungus.
Raw materials suppliers with special expertise
Henkel purchases ingredients made using white biotechnology from selected raw materials manufacturers who have decades of expertise in this field. These raw materials manufacturers and Henkel itself use biotechnological methods for research, in particular to find ways of developing new and improved laundry detergent enzymes. The applicable regulation of the European Union defines four safety levels for handling genetically modified organisms. The microorganisms used to produce enzymes belong, without exception, to the level of lowest concern.
Henkel subscribes to the core ethical values of EuropaBio, the European Association for Bioindustries, and conforms to its principles. The principles, which cover issues relating to genetic engineering, include statements ranging from "We oppose the use of cloning technologies to reproduce human beings" to "We support … the exchange of biotechnology between developed and developing countries, duly considering each country's cultural differences."
It is highly unlikely from today's perspective that we could approach the boundaries of the ethically responsible when researching new fields of application. Nevertheless, this would always be the first aspect to be thoroughly investigated before undertaking any possible future expansion of genetic engineering.

I did a thing to the title page.
Probably shouldn't have bought this, considering I have not finished WTJ yet (not to mention, I haven't even started on Mess or This Is Not A Book), but when I saw it at Barnes and Noble, I couldn't resist. :)
I actually haven't got around to sleeping with the journal yet, so the 'describe the experience' part will come later. But today, I just randomly decided to draw Aurora on this page. Seems appropriate, don't you think?
Not WTJ related, but I thought I'd show you all the Harry Potter value portrait I'm working on for my 2D design class. :P
I really didn't know what to do with this page since we never make grocery lists at my house, so I just glued some grocery store receipts to the page.
A work in progress. My coloring skills are a little rusty, but I'm quite pleased with how this is turning out so far. (✿◠‿◠)
As you can probably tell from my url, I'm a Harry Potter fan. So I wrote the word Horcrux over and over.
And it's not a horcrux, obviously, but I added my Time-Turner necklace to the photo, just for kicks. :)
I couldn't fully accept the loss.
i've written it so many times that i'm starting to question if carelessly is even a real word.
so i'm in a job preparation class and this is what i've been doing to the back of my booklet during sessions.
apparently though, doodling on the text material is not an effective way to develop job skills. *shrug*

Abyei, Sudan - Satellite monitoring initiative "Satellite Sentinel" documents attacks
Abyei, Sudan - The Satellite Sentinel Project (SSP) is documenting this week's military attacks in Sudan's disputed border region of Abyei following international reports confirmed by the United Nations of bombardment and military movement.
Like previous releases, the latest reports use satellite imagery to corroborate and illustrate findings including the razing of structures north of Abyei town and the destruction of some locations in the vicinity of the town. UNOSAT has been coordinating the satellite imagery component of the Satellite Sentinel project since its inception but it does not perform all the imagery analysis presented in the reports and on the project's website. In several instances the analysis is performed by Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI) and by Digital Globe experts.
This is the case of the latest reports published on the Satellite Sentinel site on May 24-26.
Links to Reports, Fact Sheet and DigitalGlobe Satellite Imagery:
For more information from the United Nations on the situation in Sudan, visit the UN Sudan Web site.
About the Satellite Sentinel Project - The Satellite Sentinel Project, http://satsentinel.org, combines satellite imagery analysis and field reports with Google's Map Maker to deter the resumption of full-scale civil war between North and South Sudan. Not On Our Watch provided seed money to launch SSP. The Enough Project contributes field reports and policy analysis, and, together with Not On Our Watch and our Sudan Now partners, pressures policymakers by urging the public to act. UNOSAT analyzes satellite images and collaborates with Google and Trellon to design the web platform. Harvard Humanitarian Initiative provides research and leads the collection, human rights analysis, and corroboration of on-the-ground reports that contextualizes the imagery. DigitalGlobe provides satellite imagery and additional analysis.

You still have an annoying computer-controlled companion who's more a watchdog than a sidekick, shooting enemies you can't even see yet, making you feel far too safe in an experience billed as "survival horror."

Need for Speed Undercover (PC)
Who on earth is this terrible game supposed to be for? The target audience certainly isn't gamers with next-generation systems whose frame of reference will be titles like Burnout Paradise, MotorStorm and the superlative Midnight Club: Los Angeles. They'll laugh at the lifeless streets, bad driving, dated multiplatform graphics and pathetic attempt at a storyline in Need for Speed Undercover. Maybe it's for fans of car culture who've never seen a videogame. Those are pretty much the only people who won't be dismayed at having shelled out money to buy this sorry excuse for a multiplatform driving game.
Ready for its close-up
Undercover's angle is shallow enough that this one should skip right across the water into the bargain bins on the way to oblivion. You play a nameless and literally faceless protagonist working on behalf of minor celebrity Maggie Q. Miss Q, along with a pair of high heels and a tight dress suit, plays a law enforcement agent filmed with multiple cameras from laughably tight angles. Here is Maggie Q's eyebrow, here is her ankle, here is the back of her head, here is -- My god, what is that? Oh, it's her elbow -- here is the swoop of her waist, and now here's a race for you to drive.
There are also various "actors" (i.e., attractive people who may or may not be talented, but you'd never know given the material they're working from) playing the criminals, the corrupt former cop, the love interest, the rival and so on. If only "The Fast and the Furious" had known what it was going to get us into. A car culture yarn with Vin Diesel and Paul Walker seemed harmless enough at the time. At least Midnight Club: Los Angeles, which is like Robert Altman in comparison to Need for Speed Undercover, doesn?t take itself seriously.
"Yeah, yeah," you're saying, "but how's the driving, Tom? This isn't a movie, you know." To which I reply, yes, I know it's not a movie and you know it's not a movie, but someone should clue in EA. Tripe like this and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 are doing more to set back the viability of live-action footage than the entire decade of horrible FMV games in the 90s. If you're going to write a story, hire actors, and shoot footage, rise to the occasion. Quit it with this stuff in which the camera is the perspective of the mute protagonist (which is particularly tricky when you're shooting from three or four different camera angles). It barely works in a videogame, and it certainly doesn't work with live-action cut scenes. Either get some material to go with the resources you're squandering -- actors, sets, a willing audience -- or don't bother trying.
When the rubber hits the road
Okay, enough of that. You're here for the driving. Sadly, it isn't any better than the storytelling. Driving feels like it's on rails, scripted to go forward with no regard for any real-world dynamics that might get in the way. You get canned drifting, glancing blows instead of collisions, and no sense of weight. Most of the challenges are races of varying flavor, usually along unconvincing city streets. Circuit races travel along closed-off paths, sprints are more open affairs, and highway battles are challenges to navigate light traffic well enough to pull ahead of the competition. There are also police encounters that bring out the worst in Undercover, showcasing how poorly this world handles anything but moving forward unobstructed. Once suicidal police cars start trying to ram you, they might as well try to ram the game itself. The idea is that here, all the rules are suspended and road hell will be unleashed. But this game isn't in any state to unleash anything. It's too buttoned down by its own limits.
The graphics are terrible, with cars that mysteriously appear in the middle distance, either singly or in tiny groups. There's no sense of traffic beyond the occasional vehicle dropped in your way. This city is mostly a set of roads with a few rare shortcuts. Undercover carries over the "Pursuit Breaker" system, whereby you can drive through clearly labeled points to drop stuff onto the road, which magically disables nearby police cars. This is usually some sort of construction apparatus, and it invariably looks thin and contrived. You'd think EA used some 90s-era Tony Hawk engine.
However, the PC version at least has the advantage of higher resolutions over the console versions, so it looks sharper and even runs more smoothly. It has some frame rate hiccups, but they are nowhere near as bad as they are on the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. Using a keyboard to steer actually works pretty well.
Why we drive
The gameplay progression would be pretty good if it didn't force you to repeat races until you come in first place. You get absolutely nothing for not finishing first place in a race. This will mean a lot of grinding in the harder races until you can pay for the horsepower to brute-force your way through them. And some of the races, like the highway battles, have more to do with blind luck than skill. Will that bus jog left as you're trying to pass it? At least the artificial intelligence doesn't get an artificial speed boost to keep up with your car. Except for the supercops, the other drivers seem to play fair most of the time.
Every car in the Tri-City Bay has the "ND 4 SPD" license plate, which must make it tough for the cops.
Instead of focusing all the upgrades on the individual vehicles, your driver persona also upgrades as a set of skills (never mind that these skills are actually car parts). It seems a little silly to finish a race and be awarded +3% induction or +1% brakes, but as you accumulate enough improvements, it'll presumably be easier to beat the challenges that force you to use a specific car. Beat these challenges to move through the various milestones in the storyline, which include unlocking different regions around the Tri-City Bay. Yeah, it's called Tri-City Bay. The only more generic name for this unremarkable place would have been Generic City, USA. To its credit, it's big and wide-open from the very start, but there's no reason to go anywhere until you unlock the challenges specific to each area.
You'll also progress along a reputation system that determines when the storyline challenges will be available. You'll get reputation multipliers by building up an "In the Zone" meter when you drive with precision. Driving recklessly will build up "heat" for a particular car, which makes it more likely the police will chase you, forcing you into one of the "evade the cops" challenges. Since you can essentially teleport to any challenge, running into the cops on the open world is rarely an issue. However, as the game progresses and your heat level rises, the police will sometimes interfere during races. The idea is that heat will encourage you to switch cars from time to time, letting the heat die down on a particular vehicle. Alternatively, you can customize the appearance of a vehicle, essentially paying to reduce its heat. EA's "autosculpting" system lets you shape individual parts of a car, but it's hard to tell what's going on without tinkering with a bunch of slider bars and then applying the results before you even know how they'll look.
Multiplayer can be played online if you can find anyone else playing, but only by registering yourself for Electronic Arts' EA Nation. Furthermore, the game seems to require logging into EA Nation (you do have an account, don't you?), running PunkBuster in a DOS window in the background, and EA's dreaded SecuROM copy protection. While it might be tolerable with better games such as one of the Battlefield series, it's just adding insult to injury with a piece of forgettable fluff like this. This is a racing game about the lowest common denominator, in terms of technology, gameplay and storytelling. If you really must drive on a PC, you can do much better than this.
This review is based on a retail copy of the game provided by the publisher.

The wound response initiation problem
Jasmonate synthesis and signalling are initiated in tissues distal to wounds when electrical signals are decoded. What are the mechanisms of long distance electrical signalling and signal decoding in plastids. The main tools we use are glr and lox mutants as well as the fou2 mutant in a major tonoplast cation channel.
The genetics of nonenzymatic oxidation
Is it possible to isolate genes involved in the maintainence of normal levels of nonenzymatic oxidation? We are particularly interested in the role of malonaldehyde (MDA) production in zones rich in stem cells (apical meristems and pericycle cells). One of the tools we use is a method designed in our lab to locate small pools of MDA in situ.

Jaros II was a Federation planet, the site of a Starfleet stockade.
Following her conviction for murder and treason Valeris was sentenced to life imprisonment at Jaros II. She was held there until 2300 when she was transferred to Starfleet Intelligence custody to assist in an operation to find those responsible for a terrorist bombing over Da'Kel III. Her assistance was crucial in preventing the destruction of Qo'noS, and she was given a new identity and allowed to settle on Sigma Draconis V. (ST novel: Cast No Shadow)
Ensign Ro Laren was imprisoned at Jaros II stockade following her court martial resulting from the events at Garon II circa 2364. She was held there until her release in 2368. (TNG episode: "Ensign Ro", DS9 - Mission Gamma novel: Cathedral)
In 2372, Geordi La Forge compared Admiral Jeremiah Hayes's plans to have him transferred off the USS Enterprise-E to being "transferred" to Jaros II. (TNG - Slings and Arrows eBook: The Insolence of Office)
Ezri Dax was interred on Jaros II following the resolution of the Andorian reproductive crisis. Christine Vale came to see Dax on Jaros II to investigate the incident. Following the revelation that Baras Rodirya had stolen the identity of the long dead Ishan Anjar and the subsequent removal of Baras from office Dax was released from Jaros II and reinstated as Captain of the USS Aventine.

Promoting Organization Values Framework
Organizations need to build and promote a 'shared values framework'. This is a practical means to help organizations establish an appropriate management system by measuring where they are on the path to excellence, helping them to understand the gaps, and then identify solutions. This approach recognizes that stakeholder needs are met through processes. Value based process improvement is at the heart of any organizational development and it is through processes that the talents of people can be released, which in turn produces better performance. Improvement in performance can be achieved by involving people in the continuous improvement of the processes they work in.
Spreading Values-Popularity/Consensus Using the work and insights from different value alignment sessions held across the organization, volunteers from these sessions should meet to reach consensus on the values and for developing value statements for each of these prioritized values. These volunteers will then draft value statements that are shared with all staff for feedback and refinement. Staff then discusses the draft value statements during organization-wide meetings, wherever possible. This total group then adopts organizational values by consensus vote when the organization believes their value statements are complete. Following the Values Alignment sessions and consensus agreement on the values, the leaders with staff, will:
- Communicate & discuss the mission & organizational values frequently with staff members
- Establish organizational goals that are grounded in the identified values;
- Model personal work behaviors, decision making, contribution, and interpersonal interaction that reflect the values;
- Translate the values into expectations, priorities, and behaviors with colleagues, reporting staff, and self;
- Link participation in the adoption of the values and the behaviors that result, to regular performance feedback and the performance development process;
- Reward and recognize staff members whose actions and accomplishments reflect the values in action within the organization;
- Hire and promote individuals whose outlook and actions are congruent with these values; and
- Meet periodically to talk about how the group is doing via livingthe identified values.
To check whether the values have permeated sufficiently the following must occur:
- People demonstrate and model the values in action in their personal work behaviors, decision-making, contribution, and interpersonal interaction.
- Organizational values help each person establish priorities in their daily work life.
- Values guide every decision that is made once the organization has cooperatively created the values and the value statements.
- Rewards and recognition within the organization are structured to recognize those people whose work embodies the values the organization embraced.
- Organizational goals are grounded in the identified values.
- Adoption of the values and the behaviors that result is recognized in regular performance feedback.
- People hire and promote individuals whose outlook and actions are congruent with the values.

how about we remove raid locks and put in the loot locks ala LFR? 25s can pull people in to fill or can help out friends in 10mans. This would eliminate that syndrome that we saw in WotLK of having to do both 10 and 25 mans to maximize your reward. You can get loot from a boss once per week in reg10/reg25/H10/H25 and once per week in LFR. it would also greatly ease the pain of things like VoA and BH where people do it on a Tuesday and magically later on that same Tuesday forget that they did it 2 hours ago. >

This rich, wide-ranging collection of work by scores of America's contemporary poets brings you both wisdom and entertainment in short verse.In it are represented, with one poem each, the chancellors, fellows, and award winners of the Academy of American Poets since 1934. The result is a unique sampler of the various literary styles and themes that have left their marks on the past five decades.Fifty Years of American Poetry gives readers the opportunity to hear familiar voices and new ones--and encounter the great American poems that have captured both our minds and our hearts.The Academy of American Poets has as its stated purpose ''To encourage, stimulate, and foster the production of American poetry..." This was never limited to poets of any particular school, method, or category of poetry so this anthology is as representative a cross-section of American poetry in the last 50 years as any of its kind. The Academy is not a stodgy eastem provincial institution. It encourages young poets, recognizes the importance of change and growth in the poetry of America, and believes that poetry is not for poets only. This anthology was compiled on this basis. Fifty Years Of American Poetry is not only educational, but also inspirational, hopefully imbuing everyone who reads it with a sense of the dynamic and development of American poetry in the last half century. The Academy of American Poets is the only institution which could compile such a unique anthology because it is the oniy group which has consistently played a large part in the American poetry scene through its patronage to poets and its mission to make poetry an accessible and vital part of the American literary landscape. --> CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

This MUST be the world's smallest inhabited island. There is one red house on this little piece of land in Newquay (a harbour town in Cornwall, England) and it is only connected to the mainland by that tiny bridge. Remember the nutter that tried to invade Sark? (post from 26 October) This is the sort of Island he would go after too! And he would send the fellow living there a telegram a week ahead of time informing him of his dastardly plans. (bigaldavies on flickr)

Crysis is AMAZING
Every true PC gamer had this week marked on their calendars, Crysis the spiritual successor to Far Cry is out and I can tell you this is one game that will live up to the hype. By now you have probably read some of the reviews, even played the demo yourselves, and seen our videocard test where we show you a somewhat harsh reality that Crysis, being the most graphically advanced game out there, takes a toll on performance and you will need a very fast system to enjoy it to the max. Those with slower systems can still run it though as the engine scales relatively well.
But Crysis is no tech demo, the guys at Crytek have once again built a great enjoyable game upon a good engine and game software platform. I was very pissed off a few years ago when these guys did not get all the recognition they deserved for Far Cry (the original PC game) but it's likely that won't happen again.
I also wanted to mention that the full game happens to run a bit faster than the demo. I can't quantify on the exact difference but from what I've seen on my own PC running the same first level, it seems overall smoother with a few things fixed here and there gameplay-wise, too. Looks like the developers were hard at work in the last few weeks between the demo and the full game release with last minute optimizations. On a GeForce 8800 GTS 320mb card I had to turn to some low quality settings to get really smooth gameplay on the demo, but on the full game I'm running comfortably with all at medium at 1680×1050, which is not too bad.
Finally, to get you on a positive Crysis mood here's a YouTube video depicting some graphics capabilities using the Sandbox editor on DirectX9 with "very high" settings:

Unfortunaly the game goes downhill as soon as you begin to fight the aliens.
Actually it doesn't go down hill. This game is mind-blowing and has *the* best graphics for the pc. ever. It also has a very strong story line. I've been playing PC games for nearly 20 years and this game beats halo 3 for pure face-melting FPS action and mind-numbing graphics. Hell.. you can choke people with ur bare hands and the characters drop f-bombs throughout. More please, Crytek.
Graphics are good, but one day like every game will be outdated.
The game is way too short, and the story is really nothing speciel, well atleast it's not very poor.
Halo I never cared for, both 1 and 2 are rather poor on the PC. Compared to Crysis they're very poor, but Crysis is still not mindblowingly good.
Ah Crysis you beauty! Everything about this game makes it an absolutely mind-blowing experience. Judging from when this game was actually released I think it has lasted a good time while staying fresh. The mostly destructible environments make for a truly realistic experience. Ever wanted to just smash that metal shack apart? Or pick up that bin and hurl it at an enemy while standing a meter away in cloak mode (invisibility), well you can!
Hehe, great game with good replay value. Just wait until you try out some of the console cheats.
Not all games get out-dated because of their graphics, an example would be Starcraft which has stood the challenge of time.

I'd actually say as a mage I'm really looking forward to duel-spec. Given that I am frosty, scrapping out every bit of DPS for a primary frostbolt based spec, is important to remain viable in a raid group.
Sadly, the necessities in talenting and glyphs to become a frost raider remove the powers of the frost tree for soloing/grinding/farming unavailable (for example dropping the slow on the Glyph of Frostbolt, removing Improved Blizzard and getting rid of the Shatter/Frost Nova on Improved Ice Barrier). Also, if I did wanna PvP I'd of course want all these talents too.
I can now solo with ease, PvP if I ever desire and be a good raider (without horrible DPS numbers) and save some gold. Win-win here too.


text: So on Saturday I was able to make the trek to Lafayette with my two sons, and visit Jeffery's comic book store, And Books II. Very cool store, by far the best I have been able to visit in Louisiana. I picked up several trades for my older son, and one for myself. Unfortuantely, Jeffery refused to accept payment on these items. As much as I would have preferred to pay, I just wanted to give a quick shout out of thanks for these items. Jeffery is a good guy, I hope everyone gets a chance to meet him!

The Newtown "Sandy Hook donations missing" news report is raising the question of what happened to $70,000 and what happened to one of the co-founders involved in raising the charity money. "A charity created in the wake of the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., cannot locate more than $70,000 it raised," reports the Associated Press on Jan. 11, 2014.
Just one week after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown on Dec. 14, 2012, the Nashville charity 26.4.26 began raising money through marathons to help Sandy Hook. The charity, which began on Dec. 22, 2012, raised a total of $103,000.
Last January, a nonprofit youth sports center in Newtown received $30,000, but no one knows what happened to the more than $70,000 missing Sandy Hook donations.
One of the co-founders of the 26.4.26 Foundation, Ryan Graney, said that she filed complaints with the FBI and Tennessee attorney general's office in September after she had discovered suspicious charges to the foundation's PayPal account.
Her partner, co-founder Robbie Bruce, who was in charge of the charity's finances, had presented the $30,000 to the nonprofit youth sports center in Newtown in January but no one has been in contact with him for almost a year, "and his whereabouts are unknown," reported Sky News.
After the news of the missing Newtown Sandy Hook donations broke, the charity foundation stopped its fundraising efforts. However, so far there have been no signs of either the $70,000 or of Robbie Bruce.

"Never be afraid to put to much love in your marriage"
Those were the priest's words as he shared his homily to Albert and Shannel. Personally, it's something which I find very true. You can never give enough love in your marriage, not today, not tomorrow, not in the years to come.
Variety is something that has always kept things interesting, and that's why I choose to cover both weddings and debuts. I like the mix, it keeps things fresh, new, and never boring. When celebrating your birthday, specially your 18th birthday, things should be exactly that, fresh, new, and never boring.
The weather these days is something else. It's hot, really hot. It's summer after all, so I guess no less is expected. Despite the heat, Martin and Melissa pushed through with their engagement session in Pinto Art Gallery.
Honestly, it's my first time to visit such a wonderful place and I have to admit, I was overwhelmed by it. Nonetheless, shooting in pinto proved to be fruitful as all of you will see through Martin and Melissa's pre-wedding session.
Shanel is a close friend of mine from my college days and when she told me about her wedding, and her plans to let me cover it, I was honored. Of course, I wanted to make Albert and Shannel's wedding video special, and make it something that will remind them of much love they share.
"Pompei" – Albert and Shannel – Same-day Edit Video from David Garmsen on Vimeo.
Over the years, I've shot countless E-sessions, portrait sessions, weddings, and debuts in Intramuros. As old as the place may be, its charm remains the same. It has a vibe to it, it gives character to your celebration, it brings out the beauty of everything in its own unique way.
One of the first few people I met in the industry is JP. JP and I, we've done a handful of events together be it weddings, debuts and even a few corporate events here and there.
When he called me to say that his brother was getting married, I was thrilled, excited and honored.

For me, it'll always be:
You know what, I tried to search for a thread like this but I couldnt find it. So...its fun when we the fans get to debate whose the hero's true love is.
Peter: MJ Or Gwen....I wont deny that Gwen is his first love but I think MJ is his true love.
Scott: Jean or Emma. Marvel needs a writer who will develop Jean again. Emma is a bitch and I cant stand her.
Superman: Lois or Lana. I cant wait to see what Morrison and Perez do with Lois. Her character has been shit for a long time. Also, I am thrilled to see Clark Kent return to the pages of Superman.
For me, it'll always be:
I have to go with you guys, you're pulling up love interests who have been the canon pairings for decades compared to ones that just don't resonate as strongly.
Living With Insanity - Because why else would you try to make comics?
Gemini Storm - My first published work. Free Issue #3 to anyone who gets their local store to stock the title.
my brain sees no other options.....
Neither (I don't think he has one, but if I had to choose one I guess it'd be Jean. Though I prefer Emma)
Wonder Woman
I get this all the time. They say, "You really hate Daredevil. Look how mean you are to Daredevil." I'm like, "Would you really buy a book about him enjoying a sandwich? 'What a great sandwich. I'm going to eat this for 22 pages, and I'm going to be so happy.'" I may do it just to prove a point. Have Wolverine going, "This is the best bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich I've ever had in my life!"
-Brian Bendis
Gwen, Emma and Lana.
Im sick to death of MJ, Jean and Lois.
I'm not a big fan of the phoenix and all the recycled 'drama' between her and Scott. I much prefer his relationship with Emma.
Lois makes me tired. Even in death of superman (oh the crying) she just made me tired. Few story lines have I been happy to see her and honestly none spring to mind right now.
MJ is boring, not annoying or anything I just prefer Gwen and I don't even like blondes.

When a school wins its first state championship, people give that team its due. When that team starts dominating the headlines, the goodwill begins to evaporate.
Mickey Conn built Grayson from scratch in 2000, and years of work and patience paid off in 2011 with a championship. On Friday, Grayson plays Miami Central in a game that will televised on ESPN and discussed nationwide. That's because Grayson is ranked No. 1 by ESPN, while Miami Central is No. 1 in USA Today. Georgia has never had a game played quite like that.
Meanwhile, Robert Nkemdiche is the No. 1 college recruit in the country. He's got his own Wikipedia page. There's no more famous high school football player in the country.
Which brings me to this –
Are you pulling for Grayson on Friday? Is this a case of Georgia fans pulling for one of their own, or is there a growing faction of those who are sick of Grayson's new-found fame and want to see them knocked down a notch?
Which brings me to this -
What are the most hated teams in Class AAAAAA? I'd say the state, but this is the AAAAAA blog.
Is it Grayson? Colquitt County? Valdosta? Brookwood?
In 2011, I would've said Stephenson is the most polarizing team in Georgia. The Jags dropped down.
Who is the most polarizing team in the big class now?
I don't think it's Grayson – yet. As a fan of Georgia high school football, I'm backing the Rams this week against Central.
How about you?

Hopefully all of Georgia loves them for at least this weekend, as they represent us all on Friday night.

I'll be at the Grayson game Friday, and I'm a father of three Brookwood graduates. We love playing Grayson, great spirit there. Brookwood lost a heartbreaker there last year. Mickey Conn has spoken at our church. I find the assertion that one might hate a State Champion to be assinine. However, due to fact that this is the AJC, a sophomoric, silly,and demeaning assertion is too often simply par for the course. Dummy up, and get somebody writing columns or making headlines that doesn't insult the intelligence of high school students, their parents, and their fans. If I was the AJC, I'd remove this column immediately, as it demeans the newspaper, Such a display of an elementary school mentality is beneath contempt in a society where hate is otherwise considered by the AJC to be a crime.
August 28th, 2012
1:00 pm
I have to agree with CAMDEN1981 followed by Lowndes Vikings. But I hope that Grayson win big against Miami. Unfortunately, whoever wins this year will be "disliked" until next year.
August 28th, 2012
1:30 pm
GwinnettDad, wouldn't it be easier for you to just not click the button and come into this particular thread if it bothers you that much? I don't think Todd and the AJC are encouraging silly behavior with this, I think it is just a part of modern popular youth culture to view "hate" or "hater" as a term that really implies that someone is jealous because of success/attention and not a personal, deep desire to harm or destroy someone. Fan rivalry and related aspects are at the heart of football in this country and really what allows it to transcend the field. Our Winnersville classic is one of the most special events because of this, but ultimately it brings people together, not tear them apart.
I will be rooting for Grayson as I root for Region 1 teams when they are not playing the Vikings or Wildcats.
August 28th, 2012
1:32 pm
I think people hated on Camden because of the regular season schedule, with them being in Region 1 now that should not be a problem anymore. I know a lot of people on this blog hate NSWR…for obvious reasons.

just sayin from watchin the rams for 8 years–rams come with your AAAAAA game from the first whistle till the last whistle–100% each side of the ball every single play—these FLA boys will bring a hurricane force to be certain with the pass and the run–they have equal amount of fast big beef on the hoof—just sayin who wants it more

IMO, Georgia HS football is among the best in the nation! On Friday, Grayson will be representing ALL of Georgia HS football, so if you think GHSF is best, you should be supporting Grayson!
August 28th, 2012
2:32 pm
Guess it should be pretty obvious who I'm for! I'll be there pulling for my Rams!!! I don't know that I "hate" any team. I might not like the actions of a team or a few of its players but that is not hate. I'm not real fond of supporters that refuse to hear anything less than favorable about their team. I have to remind myself that the Rams aren't perfect and be willing to listen when someone brings a well thought out argument to the discussion. Wild accusations with no backing, nope don't tolerate those well but a decent discussion, I'm in.
@Titletown USA – I agree with you. Camden has a great program but it was a little hard to take some of the chest thumping given the schedule they played. Totally not their fault. They tended to represent themselves well in the playoffs the years they didn't outright win. This year should shut down those complaints.
Rush is a polarizing figure as a coach and I think that leads to the complaints about the Packers. Almost all other cases I can think of are more the fans making outrageous claims than anything the team really does.

By the way, if it were another team in the same situation you better believe I'd be pulling for Team Georgia!!!

They are going to be tough……until you see it in person……..you really dont understand what kind of an impact robert nkemdiche has on both sides the ball………..when he leaves next year just him being gona alone will make grayson take a step back………that is how good this kid is………..on person will not bring him down………one person will try and get run over in the process……..

I am a Camden Fan and I can tell you that Grayson has a great team. I wish them the best of luck this Friday night vs Miami Central. Our Wildcats will continue to work hard, stay humble and play as hard as we can. Our goal is to get better each week. We have a lot of work to get done before this Friday vs Ocala Vanguard.
August 28th, 2012
9:05 pm
I will be pulling for Grayson. They will be representing our state and i hope they show FL just how it goes down in GA. I will also be pulling for all of our other teams playing out of state teams too GOODLUCK TO ALL!!!

If the coaching staff can keep the focus on the game and not the hype as well as they did last season we will be ok.

I am now going on hiatus until we play Colquit. Upon my return, I will re-focus and start the countdown until week ten. Hopefully, I will be among those with a horse in the race

Taped the game and what a smash mouth in your face game the
CCHS Wildcats: What a butt whipping U guys put on PRHS, after that shellacking, they did not know which side of the divide they were on( they sit on the Eastern Continental Divide) my take, they don't want to go to the Atlantic anytime soon.. U guys looked fast, aggressive, and the type of smashmouth football good teams are made of……U guys (fans)had better get ready come December when y'all visit Hotlanta again for the real trophy …good luck btn now and then…..Wolfie

I don't think that folks hate Grayson as much as it may seem. I think the issue is the rapid jump onto the national scene after 1 title. Most of this is due to the #1 recruit in the country, and the return of 10 starters on defense. Even though their offense lost some quality players, the expectation is that they will run the table in AAAAAA. From what I saw on saturday, they have some work to do to run the table. Hopefully it was first game gitters, yes they won 31-21, but that game was closer than the final score. Don't think that #1 can carry the offense and be effective on defense for a whole game for 15 games. Hopefully they play well friday against Central. Camden was able to match Central's speed, even though they were smaller up front than Central. Central runs a spread with speed all over the field, and they play fast. It remains to be seen. If Grayson can generate offense and keep Central's offense off of the field it will be a competitive game. If Grayson get's into a shootout with Central, don't think Grayson can win that game. A smash mouth game favors Grayson. Go with what you know. Get it done Rams.

Grayson has to matter to be hated. They are a good local story atm. One state championship is nice, but we can hardly appoint the flavor- of- the- month the new king of 6A football after one lucky season. Build a body of work, Grayson, then MAYBE u can be in the same conversation with Region1.

LOL, DBL Digits…don't understand your condescension toward Grayson, or all of the other teams in this state who don't have more than 9 state titles. I guess you're saying Valdosta is the only worthy one to be called "king" in this state…and that it's not that hard to win a state title, an opinion that diminishes the strength of the game played in Georgia. Valdosta is "king" historically speaking…but has not won a title since 1998, or even sniffed one since 2003.
Your perspective will change one day…and your attitude along with it. Probably about the time you get out of high school.

As a team that is entering AAAAAA, we are excited for our new challenge. Difficult – definitely; will we get better by playing better competition – definitely.
I appreciate and respect programs that produce results on and off the field. We know Grayson, Valdosta, Lowndes (to name a few) all produce great results on the field and hopefully off. These programs make the state of Georgia programs better.
Go Longhorns!

one would think that if u r a true fan of the game and u r loyal to ur team and state that one would be pulling for the rams… heck I will be pulling for them. even though we have some bad blood between us lol

I just heard on the local sports station that ex-Lowndes star Greg Reid has torn his ACL at a Valdosta state practice….bad situation for this young man. You never want to see someone hurt but this kid has backed himself into a real corner…no pun intended.

Central has the "skilled athletes," Grayson has the team. Shouldn't be close if Mickey has done his usual scouting job. Central way overrated. Grayson-Manatee a much better GA-FL match this year. But wait 'til you see that Central crowd, if they make the trip!

@ CAMDEN1981: your reading on the wrong places.. that new sports forum gahighschoolsports.net folks are talking mighty highly about camden!!! I read there that the some of the members are picking them to end with a number 1 rank in Reg. 1.

Grayson's rise to stardom was not because of a this state title. Check the history books over the last 6 years………First of all, argubally they play in the best county for HS football in GA. check the state champions in that County………
Second, They have been nationally ranked for 3 or 4 years, and they have beaten all the top teams in GA (few times twice)
On the real, GA is the BEST for HS football and I think playing and winning in this state means ALOT! Lowndes, Camden, Colquit, Valdosta, NG, Brookwood, McEachern, Walton, Budford…….etc
should never drop from national rankings, simply because who they play week after week……..

Titletown USA: heard later this afternoon, perhaps you know by now, Reid is done for the year. Wonder what means for him. Try for NFL draft? Sit a year and try for another D-I team? What a tragic waste of talent!
August 29th, 2012
11:34 pm
High school football is good in Georgia but i think Florida,Texas, n California are just as great. Florida is the speed state by far and they have alot of talent in the pros hailing from Florida. I think Miami Cental will win but team ball which Grayson plays could be a factor as well. Camden wing t was the advantage they had. I think any offense besides the wing t, Camden would of got blowed out. I tilt my hat to Camden, they look mighty good against that slow Peachtree team.
August 29th, 2012
11:39 pm
I'm referring about Camden playing Miami Central two years ago. Camden offense was totally new to them, they didn't have an clue how to stop that wing t, but Camden couldn't stop that speed Central had on the field. If Central got a mobile qb then Grayson in trouble for sure.
August 30th, 2012
12:25 am
If Camden played Miami Central tomorrow, the results would be the same! Population plays a major role in the number good players in Florida, Texas and California. All of these states have at least twice the population of Georgia. So it stands to reason that they would have a larger number of high caliber players. Football is the major sport in all three states. Florida has great athletes, but it's too bad that many suffer from a lack of discipline!

GHS#22…….Has Grayson and Camden played more than twice? As far as know, they're 1-1, with Grayson winning 14-10 at the 2009 CKC and Camden winning in the playoffs 22-7 in 2007. If I'm wrong, please correct me……….

Go Grayson. Play your game, and there will be no excuse for you all not to bring back to Ga win with you.. Bring the pride of Ga. over Fla with you..
I am a Lowndes fan, and hope you the very very best over Miami.. Play better than in the dome (get the kinks behind you) and I know that you all can make us proud, be safe, on the travel, their and back, our prayers are with you all,
I'll post later what I think about a 2peat…….

Famous quotes containing the words content, task, newsletter, publishers and/or main:
"Quintilian [educational writer in Rome about A.D. 100] hoped that teachers would be sensitive to individual differences of temperament and ability. . . . Beating, he thought, was usually unnecessary. A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupils individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: I will content myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them."
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
"Here is what sometimes happened to me: after spending the first part of the night at my deskthat part when night trudges heavily uphillI would emerge from the trance of my task at the exact moment when night had reached the summit and was teetering on that crest, ready to roll down into the haze of dawn...."
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
"Affection, indulgence, and humor alike are powerless against the instinct of children to rebel. It is essential to their minds and their wills as exercise is to their bodies. If they have no reasons, they will invent them, like nations bound on war. It is hard to imagine families limp enough always to be at peace. Wherever there is character there will be conflict. The best that children and parents can hope for is that the wounds of their conflict may not be too deep or too lasting."
—New York State Division of Youth Newsletter (20th century)
"Time & Co. are, after all, the only quite honest and trustworthy publishers that we know."
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
"I had one life. And what did I do? Wasted it in some palooka preliminaries in Spain, just before Hitler and Chamberlain warm up for the main event."
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

Scouting makes a difference
Only four out of 100 boys in the United State will become Scouts, but three out of four leaders in business, religion and politics were Scouts. And nearly two-thirds of all college and university graduates were once Scouts.
These statistics and more point to the reasons community support of Scouting is so important, according to officials who spoke to Tunica Rotarians last week.
"Boy Scouts is the largest youth organization in the Mid-South, with 16,000 members," Northwest MS District Executive Alex Pelletier said.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
My largest tips are given to people who switch toons to perform a service for me. I truly appreciate that. That is another person somewhere, who took time out of what he or she was doing on his or her current toon, specifically to log to an alt, purely to help me out. I have noticed also that the couple times it has been done, it has been for a relatively common pattern, when I was only offering a 10g tip. They could do a daily to make the money quicker than log to an alt and come meet me. I really appreciate their effort on my behalf, and those people ALWAYS get at least 40g. It is the only way I have to show them I truly appreciate it.
Actually, IRL is like that too. I am a small contractor, and customers always say thank you. But some of them say thank you, and never call again, even when I know they had more work to be done. They did not really appreciate me or my work. But I have had many customers call me again later for other work, or recommend me to friends and neighbors. I know those people appreciated my work. And I have even had a few customers put an extra couple of hundred dollars onto my final cheque. Those people DEFINATELY appreciated my time. And I carry that concept into WoW. If someone goes out of their way to help me, I throw some extra gold at them as proof that I noticed their effort.

Michael J. Fox gets personal in new NBC sitcom
The actor returns to television for a new show that pulls material from his own life, including his struggles with Parkinson's disease. Networks battled for rights to the show -- and its advertising potential.
The as yet unnamed show features Fox as a newscaster who had previously quit his job due to Parkinson's Disease, but returns to work after a new drug regime helps him better manage his condition, according to The Associated Press. The NBC comedy is scheduled to debut this fall.
There are obvious ties to the life of the actor, who has said that medications have helped him relieve some of the side effects from Parkinson's medicine, such as physical tics, and return to acting, the AP reports.
Fox, who gained fame in the 1980s starring in the sitcom "Family Ties" and the "Back to the Future" movies, remains popular. TVLine reports that there was a bidding war among television networks for the show. In an unusual move, NBC, which was also home to "Family Ties," bypassed the pilot process completely and ordered 22 episodes.
NBC and its corporate parent Comcast (CMCSA) are betting that Fox's show will generate more than nostalgia. The show could be a moneymaker, especially since its production costs are probably not high.
The cost of commercial time varies by show. Networks charge more than $300,000 a spot for highly rated shows such as "American Idol" and "Modern Family," according to a survey by Advertising Age. Sports can be even pricier, with spots on NBC's "Sunday Night Football" fetching more than $545,000.
Fox's show may do more than financial good if it can give the public a better understanding of Parkinson's.
Like Fox, I also have Parkinson's. When my symptoms emerged two to three years ago, I didn't know what to do. One day, I realized that I was typing on my computer using only my left hand. My right hand sat on top of the keys frozen like a statue. Doctors were able to piece together a Parkinson's diagnosis, thanks to my other symptoms, such as gait disturbance (I walked like I was drunk) and my small, illegible handwriting. I am on medication now, and my symptoms are much, much better. I am typing this post, for instance, with two hands. Moreover, I am more at ease with my condition, which is why I am ready to share my story on the Internet.
Like millions of others, I was inspired by Fox. He founded the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which funds research and helps get people into clinical trials. He was diagnosed with the disease when he was about 30. Though Parkinson's is often thought of a disease affecting older people, many younger people get the disease for reasons scientists don't understand.
About a year ago, I read about Michael "Rich" Clifford, a Parkinson's sufferer who piloted the Space Shuttle. In an interview with Neurology Now, Clifford said that if he had known that he had the disease when he first went into space in 1990, he would have still flown aboard the shuttle because he wasn't going to let anything stop him from following his dream to go into space.
If Fox can star in a sitcom and Clifford can pilot a multi-billion dollar spacecraft, I really have no excuses to slack off. I'd better get back to work.

Is your toddler or preschooler refusing to take a nap? It's probably a sign that your little one no longer needs the extra sleep.
Most toddlers and many preschool children have at least one nap a day, down from the two or more they have as infants. But there's always the exception to the norm, with some kids needing more or less daytime sleep than others. Is there a standard amount of naptime a child needs?
Pediatrician Dr. Mickey Lester believes that each child's sleep requirement is as different as the child himself. "The idea that infants must have a nap in the morning and another in the afternoon is simply a myth. Some of my patients will have several naps a day, whereas others will have none; these are kids ranging from just a couple of weeks to four years old. Neither is a cause for concern. The baby or toddler will pick the amount of sleep he or she wants. If a child or toddler misses a nap, they'll have numerous opportunities during the day to make it up with short naps. If your child does miss a nap and is grouchy all evening, he'll make it up the next day."
Of course sooner or later all children give up naptime. Dr. Lester says it will be apparent when that time has come. "He'll tell you when he is growing out of naptime because he will tell you he doesn't want to sleep. He'll say "no" or he will play longer, or won't go to sleep, or will be more reluctant to go into the crib at certain periods of time. Also the naptime will shorten in length."
When your child does grow out of naptime you may want to consider replacing it with a little quiet time, a period of 30 or so minutes when your child is left in her room to quietly look at a picture book, cuddle her blanket or teddy, or color. Quiet time gives children a chance to relax, unwind and collect their thoughts before resuming their busy lives.
