Ok. So, after this week's Korra, I want to try to get all of my feelings about the Asami/Mako/Korra triangle. I've mentioned this before, but again, I ship Mako/Korra. That's my end game, but I do not hate Asami. However, I am still mostly indifferent towards her right now.Read more
Oh, what was that Mako? You think Korra is infuriating? What's that, Mako? You like Korra AND Asami? What's that, Mako? You're a dynamic character that has complicated emotions that aren't easy for you to accept?
So what you're saying is that you're someone that likes stability because your entire life has been filled with nothing but uncertainty, not knowing whether or not you would be able to feed your little brother that night or if you would have to take a dangerous job so you could survive? You're saying that having a girl like Asami in your life is nice because you have a stable, pleasant relationship with her and you really like that? But you're also saying that even though you like stability, you like the craziness that Korra brings into your life because you can't deny that she's the good kind of crazy? What you're saying is that you are having genuine emotional turmoil because you really don't know what you want in life because you're only 19 years old and you've never really had the experience you need to make a proper decision about this type of situation nor have you had the guidance from a parental figure to help you figure those feelings of yours out?
Oh okay, just checking.
Dear God. He is just such a sweet baby. It's taking me forever to watch this episode because I have to keep pausing it to squeal and flail around.
His reactions to everything are just so perfect. I love how emotional he is about seeing Korra and Mako. It fits so perfectly with the brothers' characterizations. Mako has spent most of their lives being solely responsible for his little brother. And you know he spoiled Bolin to the very best of his abilities, even when it wasn't in their best interests financially speaking. So, Mako has always taken the brunt of absolutely everything because he never wants his little brother to worry, and as a result, Bolin just sort of acts openly as the emotions hit him, not really holding anything back. Something didn't go his way, and his big brother is a direct factor in it, so his reaction is to cry and wallow and throw a tantrum.
But even as he's crying and complaining, he still lets Mako carry him out of the restaurant. He lets him. Sure, he's kicking around some, but let's be honest. If Bolin really didn't want Mako to come and take care of him after all that, there is no way Mako would have been able to toss him over his shoulder and carry him home. Bolin's a big boy. He's not as tall as Mako, but he's thicker, not exactly a light weight. I think that whole thing is really sweet. Yes, Bolin is upset because big brother was kissing the girl that Bolin has made very clear that he likes (like-likes, even, not the way he likes those fangirls he had been bringing around the matches), but he still expects his brother to be the one who is taking care of him in his emotional time of need, never mind that it was Mako who caused said emotional turmoil in the first place.
And poor Mako. It sucks for him, being in the middle of all of this. Not only is he torn between these two girls that he really likes, but one of them his baby brother also has a crush on. So, you know he doesn't want to like Korra because of that, but he can't help but be drawn to her still, even as he's more openly dating Asami. So he's got to feel like he's betraying them both. But still. Korra. And then he's got to deal with an emotional Bolin and an angry Korra, and it's all right in the middle of this tournament that could very well make or break him and his brother. And he's still got to worry about rent and food money and everything he had to worry about before the girls came into his life. Mako. How do you not already have wrinkles and grey hairs from all your worrying. Poor boy.
But back to Bolin for one last point. As easy as it is for him to turn into a blubbering, sobbing mess, look at how easily he then turns around and forgives Mako and Korra for hurting him. Sure, he's still down, might even still be down for a while, but he doesn't shun them or keep pouting. Korra says she's sorry, and he's ok with everything again. I love his openness so much. I really hope that his maturing over the season doesn't change that about him.
I just wanted Korra's feet in Mako's face and this happened…
No Asami because I wanted this to be Fire Ferret thing c:
So cute :D

This section was contributed and was maintained for many years by Martin Ostermann. (Thanks, Martin !) Currently Martin doesn't own a Jensen anymore: updates for this section may be sent directly to me
The Jensen was the first Alpha PC that has been available commercially from DEC. Not surprisingly, there are a few oddities with it. This section is an attempt to help people getting Linux/Alpha installed on a Jensen, and to provide additional information operating Linux on the Jensen.
First off, there is no MILO for the Jensen. So it is unavoidable to use Jensen's builtin SRM console. Unfortunately, it is severely handicapped with respect to boot command line option processing. Thanks to Michael Schwingen there is now a new aboot loader that can work around these limitations.
Secondly, the Jensen SRM console cannot boot from a floppy. This used to make bootstrapping Linux a real pain, until Jim Paradis contributed a minilabel and writeboot programs executable from the ARC console. These tools can be download from the AlphaLinux.Org Jensen Page.
The original version -- which is outdated and you should not use this now -- is available together with a the JENSEN-HOWTO describing the installation process in detail from ftp.digital.com.
The Jensen is supported by Red Hat Linux, but some things still cause trouble.
The Jensen differs from other systems in several ways:
Note: Only S3 based cards are supported. The Compaq QVision, which is one of the graphic cards originally shipped by Digital, is not currently not supported by XFree86, and support for it is unlikely to occur at all.
Know Problem and workarounds:
Sometimes people tend to blame the Jensen for general Alpha related problems. Please keep in mind that only the hardware is different, and that in most cases the kernel handles the hardware access. Thus for most programs it doesn't make a difference if they are being run on the Jensen or any other Digital/Alpha machine.
You may ask yourself, how you can upgrade your system. Here are some suggestions, but please note that I actually did not test most of this stuff, I just collected information found on the internet:
So what is the Jensen all about? There is a some information available online:

When UGA landscapers wanted to clear privet alongside the North Oconee River on East Campus they went back to nature, bringing in a flock of sheep to graze on the shaded slope until the invasive plants were gone.
Local sheep farmer Jennifer Chandler loaned 30 of her sheep to the university for the project. Protected by a fence and two donkeys, the sheep spent two weeks clearing the river bank in March and were brought back for Earth Day in April so that students and campus visitors could see the vegetation management technique in action.
Sheep are preferable to other grazers because they do not go into the water, which can destroy the embankment, and they stay away from the larger, desirable trees.
Though it can take a long time and many subsequent visits from the sheep to completely clear the privet, UGA landscape architects hope to one day develop the site as a park that would provide access to the river for recreation.

Good flavor. I used Ahi tuna instead of Albacore. At first, I thought there was a little too much vinegar in the mushroom mixture, but once everything blended together on the plate, it tasted good. Steaming, then sauteing the bok choy was a bit labor intensive, and I'm not sure that it added much...steamed bok choy would've been fine for me...you could sprinkle the sesame seeds and soy sauce on once plated. Overall, it was a good meal and didn't take too long to prepare.

The flavor of this was just amazing. I would pay money for this in a restaurant. That said, it was about $30 for the tuna and baby bok choy, so this is not going to become a go-to recipe for my family. But yummy!

The fiscal cliff was created to hold a club over Congress' collective head to make needed tax and spending decisions.

Gregory N. Tew
Greg was born in North Carolina and attended North Carolina State University where he earned a B.S. in Chemistry in 1995, graduating with honors. During this time he worked at the University with Prof. D. A. Shultz performing undergraduate research on self-assembled monolayers containing stable free radicals, and at Glaxo, formerly Burroughs-Wellcome, working on cardiovascular therapies. Upon graduation, he attended the University of Illinois-Urbana to pursue graduate studies with Prof. Sam Stupp. His work on self-assembling rod-coil molecules led to an understanding of the important molecular structures and association energies governing nanostructure formation. While in graduate school, his work was recognized by two fellowships including the Beckman Research Fellowship and American Chemical Society Organic Division Fellowship in 1998 and 1999, respectively.
After graduating in 2000, he accepted a faculty position in Polymer Science and Engineering at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. However, before starting on the faculty he spent one year in Prof. William DeGrado's laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania in Biochemistry and Biophysics studying biomimetic principles. This work led to two publications and the formation of a new company.
In 2001, he started at UMass and since then has received a number of prestigious awards including the Office of Naval Research and Army Research Office Young Investigator Awards, the NSF CAREER Award, the 3M Nontenured Faculty Grant, and the DuPont Young Faculty Award. In May of 2004, he was invited to the White House to receive the highest honor given by the Federal government to young investigators, the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).
His research interests include supramolecular polymer science, bioinspired and biomimetic structures, polymers for biomedical science, self organization, well defined macromolecular architectures, functional materials, novel biomaterials and hydrogels. His laboratory has published many papers on these topics since 2001. In addition to his research interest, Greg is actively involved in novel mentoring programs for young scientists and engineers. This includes chairman of the chemistry-biology interfaces training grant recruiting committee and participation in the northeast AGEP program.

Many companies view their training budget strictly as a cost centre which is susceptible to cuts when the business needs to reign in expenses. In this article, the author explores the benefits of training investments with a particular focus upon measuring the value of delivering training via an enterprise e-learning initiative. In addition to the many hard/measurable returns, the piece explores the greater benefit halo of an e-learning initiative and offers a number of formulas for calculating the ROI and justifying the cost to senior managers. The article concludes with a case study detailing the experiences of Rockwell Automation when the company implemented an enterprise e-learning initiative to deliver much of its training to both employees and customers.Answered by Stone Heart, 28 Oct '13 02:54 pm

It's almost time to bring out those bathing suit but experts warn drowning is the second most common death from injuries in kids younger than 14. That's why all morning NewsChannel 11's Suleika Acosta was at the YWCA learning tips on how kids can be safe in the water.
A drowning can happen in the blink of any eye. Rachel Forbes, YWCA aquatics director, showed us ways to prevent a fatal accident at the pool. If a child should panic while swimming, Rachel recommends the following:
Survival floating - Facing down in a resting position, you should let your body float in the water with knees tucked into the chest. You should be holding your breath, focusing on relaxing the muscles. Next, take the exhaling position, making swimming motions with your arms until you surface with your head above water to exhale. Inhale and return to resting position after breathing comfortably for a few minutes.
Back floating - Back float is done by lying flat on your back with feet relaxed and slightly apart. Arms should be at your sides moving slowly in a side-to-side motion. If you feel yourself sinking, raise chin, placing head further back in the water. It's important to relax your body when back floating.
For information on swimming lessons and life guard training offered at the YWCA, call 792-2723 or (click here).

in the same vein, I think Art of War for ret pallies is pretty effective as a dps to heal model - it's pretty much what I imagine Paladins should be like, and I've saved many a wipes by timing my Art of War procs to tank heals after the healer died in a fire... in heroic runs, anyway. Raid content right now is just too cut-throat for true hybrids to shine (i.e. why are you wasting GCD healing when you can deal more DPS, and vice versa)

Talk:Apostolic succession
|This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Apostolic succession article.
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
|Threads older than 3 months may be archived by MiszaBot I.
Revision: New Section on Early Church + Anglicanism[edit]
I have started a new section on the Early Church (it is at present hidden as a comment). When I have completed it, I will remove similar references in other sections unless they are vital to the argument at that particular point. The information on Anglicanism is inadequate, it even included contradictions and there is a certain amount of repetition. I have done a first round of tidying up but more remains to be done. I then intend to expand the Anglican section to cover the varying attitudes to A.S.Jpacobb (talk) 22:39, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Wesley and Praemunire[edit]
I have marked this as dubious since, whatever a couple of sources may say, it is hard to see how the Acts, passed in the second half of the 14th century, might be relevant since they were intended to limit legal appeals to the Bishop of Rome and the Vatican and Erasmas claimed to be a Greek Orthodox bishop. There is a reference in the 1393 act to "elsewhere"; but, even so, it would have been difficult for the Crown to prove that its justice or interests had been prejudiced within the meaning of the Act by the ordination of Wesley to the episcopate. Furthermore, as far as I can find out they had been dormant since the reign of James I. The most the historian can say, even if it is assumed the original source is correct, is that Wesley thought he might fall foul of the Praemunire Acts. Jpacobb (talk) 04:55, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
At least it's concise now, but I challenge anyone to support the 2nd sentence from the sources 1 & 2. And what does "indirectly through the initiative of an apostolic see" mean, anyway?
I'm not looking up sources 3 and 4 because I really believe the 3rd sentence is too questionable to be in the lede. Whether the sources said it or not, I am inclined to amend this section by adding a counter-claim, but I think it wd b better to have that discussion elsewhere in the article. Vikslen (talk) 00:33, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
The ODCC entry (I have the 3rd edition), in the 3rd sentence, states "These bishops have been regarded as succeeding the apostles because: (1) they perform the functions of the apostles; (2) their commission goes back to the apostles; (3) they succeed one another in the same sees ... and (4) by some writers because through their consecration ... they inherit from the apostles .. the Holy Spirit which empowers them."
However, "succeeding one another in the same sees" is not the most common understanding of apostolic succession. In the last several centuries it has usually been understood as a matter of succession from consecrating bishops (not usually or necessarily the predecessor in the same see) to the new bishop. This understanding is conveyed , I believe, by item 4 in the ODCC quote above, but is more clearly put in the Gonzalez reference (which may be viewed online). (I suspect the Catholic Encyclopedia states this as the main or only meaning....)
The sentence "Bishops are seen not as succeeding to the apostolic office" may be controverted and doesn't belong in this section. Item 1 from ODCC above appears to contradict it. comment added by Vikslen (talk • contribs) 18:34, 15 September 2012 (UTC)Vikslen (talk) 23:30, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
- Well-founded statements. I have made changes to reflect them. Esoglou (talk) 09:19, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
I leave it to Anupam to decide on second thoughts whether it was better to revert to duplicating the citation and quotation from Whalen, to giving the impression that British Methodists too petitioned to receive the sacraments from the local preachers who conducted worship services and revivals, to writing "Wesley assumed the power to ordained", "Holy Ghose" ... Esoglou (talk) 20:10, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- Dear User:Esoglou, thanks for noticing these errors. I've made the corrections you've suggested. If there's anything else, feel free to let me know! God bless, AnupamTalk 03:50, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
- Well, I did think that, when you corrected the occurrences of the phrase "the power to ordained", you would have noticed the repetitions of Whalen's quotation and would have again combined them, as I did, by "ref name". In my opinion, it would have been better to let it be seen a little more clearly than now that there seem to be two opinions on whether John Wesley ordained as a bishop (insisted on by a first series of citations) or as a presbyter (insisted on by citing scriptural and historical arguments for ordination by presbyters and mentioning present Methodist practice). I remember also that I thought the text would be better without such repeated honorifics as "Rev", "Rt Rev" (sometimes placed before and after sentences set off unnecessarily as quotations of extreme importance). There may have been other changes too that I thought were improvements but that I don't remember now: the question does not interest me enough to go searching for them.

- Thanks for the suggestion to combine the references User:Esoglou; I made the edit to do so. I think that rest of the paragraphs read fine with the honorifics as they help distinguish between a bishop and a priest. I hope you have a nice day! God bless, AnupamTalk 17:45, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
- Well, I did think that, when you corrected the occurrences of the phrase "the power to ordained", you would have noticed the repetitions of Whalen's quotation and would have again combined them, as I did, by "ref name". In my opinion, it would have been better to let it be seen a little more clearly than now that there seem to be two opinions on whether John Wesley ordained as a bishop (insisted on by a first series of citations) or as a presbyter (insisted on by citing scriptural and historical arguments for ordination by presbyters and mentioning present Methodist practice). I remember also that I thought the text would be better without such repeated honorifics as "Rev", "Rt Rev" (sometimes placed before and after sentences set off unnecessarily as quotations of extreme importance). There may have been other changes too that I thought were improvements but that I don't remember now: the question does not interest me enough to go searching for them.

Apostolic Founders[edit]
erm.. why 'claims'? smacks of skepticism if you ask me. something neutral would be better.. I changed this once before but someone changed back. can we get consensus please?
Dava4444 (talk) 20:43, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
- Well off hand, Apostolic succession#Apostolic Founders points out that Rome "claims to have been founded by Saint Peter" (the claim, early on, was to have been founded by Peter and Paul) but for the church in Rome to have been founded by Peter is almost impossible. Quoting from Early centers of Christianity:
- Paul's Epistle to the Romans 16 (c 58) attests to a large Christian community already there[1] but does not mention Peter. The tradition that the See of Rome was founded as an organized Christian community by Peter and Paul and that its episcopate owes to them its origin can be traced as far back as second-century Irenaeus.[2] Irenaeus does not say that either Peter or Paul was "bishop" of the Church in Rome, and some historians have questioned whether Peter spent much time in Rome before his martyrdom.[3]
- Oscar Cullmann sharply rejected the claim that Peter began the papal succession,[4] and concludes that while Peter was the original head of the apostles, Peter was not the founder of any visible church succession.[4][5]
- I suppose many would feel it unfair to only say "claimed" for Rome and not others, when most of the the other sees have no real evidence either way. tahc chat 21:34, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

"...[the] Church founded and organized at Rome by the two most glorious apostles, Peter and Paul; as also [by pointing out] the faith preached to men, which comes down to our time by means of the successions of the bishops. ...The blessed apostles, then, having founded and built up the Church, committed into the hands of Linus the office of the episcopate."
- ^ Brown, Raymond E. and Meier, John P. (1983). Antioch and Rome: New Testament Cradles of Christianity. Paulist Press. "As for Peter, we have no knowledge at all of when he came to Rome and what he did there before he was martyred. Certainly he was not the original missionary who brought Christianity to Rome (and therefore not the founder of the church of Rome in that sense). There is no serious proof that he was the bishop (or local ecclesiastical officer) of the Roman church—a claim not made till the third century. Most likely he did not spend any major time at Rome before 58 when Paul wrote to the Romans, and so it may have been only in the 60s and relatively shortly before his martyrdom that Peter came to the capital."
- ^ a b "In the life of Peter there is no starting point for a chain of succession to the leadership of the church at large."

Time," December 7, 1953. Time.com Accessed October 8, 2009
- ^ Cullman, Oscar "In the New Testament [Jerusalem] is the only church of which we hear that Peter stood at its head. Of other episcopates of Peter we know nothing certain. Concerning Antioch, indeed ... there is a tradition, first appearing in the course of the second century, according to which Peter was its bishop. The assertion that he was Bishop of Rome we first find at a much later time. From the second half of the second century we do possess texts that mention the apostolic foundation of Rome, and at this time, which is indeed rather late, this foundation is traced back to Peter and Paul, an assertion that cannot be supported historically. Even here, however, nothing is said as yet of an episcopal office of Peter."

Comments about Ludwig P-1501 Timpani Tuning Key:
This is a "must-have" tool for any band director or timpani player who wants to keep their instrument in tune. Always lock it up after using it. Young desperate drum set players will think it's some kind of souped up drum key and swipe it in a heart-beat without knowing that it would be useless on regular drum lugs.

When should my child have an exam?
The See To Learn program was developed as a way to assess the vision for 3 year olds. At the age of 3 most children are able to respond to simple testing procedures, but they have no way to tell you if they have a vision problem. They assume everyone sees the way they do.
The assessment will determine if the child is near-sighted, far-sighted or has astigmatism. The doctor will be able to determine if both eyes are working together properly.
See To Learn is a non-traumatic, often first visit, to the eye doctor for your 3 year old. The child gets an introduction to eye care in a pleasant way with stickers, a pizza coupon and coloring sheets. The parents receive a thorough explanation of the findings of the exam.
See To Learn assures that your 3 year old is seeing properly. It is also a great preparation for their full vision examination at age 5 before enrolling in kindergarten.
Since beginning with See to Learn in August 1997, our doctors have seen over 500 three year olds. See to Learn is offered 4 times each year in Norfolk. While the large majority of children pass the assessment with no problem, it is vitally important to reach the small percentage who do not pass.
There is NO CHARGE for the See to Learn visit. All you need to do is call (402) 371-8230 for an appointment.
Our next scheduled See to Learn Dates are:
April 8, 2014
July 8, 2014
October 14, 2014

Basketball is fun for everyone, from young kids to grown-ups. As with any sport, there is a risk of injury when you play basketball. Here are some tips to help you prevent injuries. If you do get hurt, this page also explains how to treat some of the more common injuries.
Ankle sprains occur most often when you land on another player's foot. In most cases, the ankle turns inward. Pain around the bony bump on the outside of your ankle is normal. You may have swelling and/or bruising. Your ankle may feel unstable.
Treat ankle sprains with the R.I.C.E. method.
Knee sprains can be caused by a sudden stop or change in direction. They can happen with or without contact from another player. Your knee may feel like it popped or gave out and may feel unstable after injury. The pain may be in one small spot or throughout the whole knee. Swelling may occur within the joint, feeling like pressure behind the kneecap or in the joint itself. Swelling may or may not be visible.
Treat knee sprains with the R.I.C.E. method. If your knee is very unstable, you have a lot of pain or your knee is swollen, popping or clicking, see a doctor to make sure you don't have serious ligament damage
Head and face wounds often occur due to a direct blow from another player. The eyes, mouth, chin and nose are easy to injure. Head and face wounds bleed a lot.
Apply direct pressure to the site of the injury to control the bleeding. Wounds that are jagged, gaping open, very deep or wide or won't stop bleeding may require stitches. In these cases, go to the emergency room right away.
Coaches, athletic trainers and players should make sure that clothing and the playing surface are cleaned well before play continues.
Concussions can happen with or without a loss of consciousness, or being "knocked out." If your child or teen may have a concussion, they need to stop playing right away. They cannot return to practice or play in a game until they are evaluated and given a written note by a doctor or other licensed healthcare provider trained in the evaluation and treatment of concussions.
Some signs and symptoms of concussion are confusion; problems with vision, memory, speech or balance; change in behavior or personality; headache; upset stomach or throwing up; sensitivity to light or sound; and feeling more tired than usual.
Muscle injuries can happen from overuse or lack of flexibility. Some muscle injuries may come with swelling, bruising and a visible indent in the muscle.
Treat muscle injuries using the R.I.C.E. method. For a minor overuse muscle injury, also try light stretching.
Bruises are caused by a direct blow or collision with another athlete.
Treat bruises using the R.I.C.E. method. Light stretching and use of the joints above and below the injury can help prevent stiffness and pain.
It is common to jam a finger while playing basketball. Soak the hand in cold water for 20 minutes. You can protect the jammed finger by using medical tape to tape it to the next finger. This is called "buddy taping."
Find out by selecting your child's symptom or health condition in the list below:

Canon 3D leaked at B&H Photo website? Or Hoax? - we Investigate CSI style
The mythical Canon 3D made another mythical appearance on the internets earlier today. Nine Volt, a company that sells camera accessories, posted on its blog that they accidentally searched for "Canon 3D" at the B&H Photo website last night, and lo and behold, the results returned the Canon 3D with all its glory, revealing a 46-megapixel full frame sensor, just as previous rumors pointed out.
This started making the internet rounds, buzzing around at F/Stoppers and Petapixel and Canon Rumors and many other places.
I haven't read every post in every forum, so I don't know if Nine Volt was the only one who noticed this, or there were other people as well who spotted this.
Canon Rumors, who specializes in Canon rumors and I am sure has received plenty of hoaxes in the past, rates it as a CR0, no credibility. Canon Rumors points out that B&H Photo is closed for religious holidays and the manufacturer number of the 3D matches that of an older Canon Elph/Ixus/Ixy model.
On the other hand, some 3D believers may say that this may have been a placeholder entry that was being worked on, and it accidentally made it to the live site. The fact that B&H is on holiday helps this case as well: it may have been caught if people were working as usual. Websites can have pre-scheduled and automated updates, they don't necessarily need a human to be present. Anyone who worked with complex computer and software and database systems knows that there are scenarios where one thing leads to another, and things like that can happen. The digital butterfly effect.
This looks strange
Having looked at hundreds of B&H product listings through the years, one thing grabbed my attention that I have not seen mentioned in previous posts. It is the area below annotated with a green rectangle (added for emphasis):
Newly announced and newly released products at B&H do not have the "Click to see our price". The starting price is the price set forth by the manufacturer. The discounting process that requires the "Click to see our price" happens typically weeks/months after a product is released (released; not announced).
Obviously this may have been part of the in-progress placeholder listing, so it doesn't necessarily prove or disprove beyond reasonable doubt.
What about those manufacturer codes?
The alleged product code of the leaked 3D Body only shown in the aforelinked leakage is 5266B002.
The code for the 6D is 8035B002 (body only) and 8035B009 (w/24-105)
The code for the EOS-M is 6609B033 (w/22mm pancake).
The code for the 5D Mark III is 5260B002 (body only) and 5260B009 (w/24-105)
The code for the 5D Mark II is 2764B003 (body only) and 2764B004 (w/24-105)
The code for the 1D X is 5253B002.
The code for the 1D C is 6994B002.
The code for the 60Da (astrophotography) is 6596B002.
There are two parts of the manufacturer code. The first part is the first four numbers. The second number is Bxxx. The first-part is the camera/product model, the second-part is the kit. The kit might be whether it is body only or with lens or whether it is the US or Canadian version.
That's why a google search for the alleged Canon 3D code (5266B002) returns the silver Canon Elph 510 HS but at Canadian websites. The US product code for the silver Elph 510 HS is 5266B001.
How about the ones who found it?
One not uncommon form of viral marketing is finding things like this and promoting them. The thinking is that the wave of attention will result in net tangible and intangible benefits for the website/company who finds these. Anyone who is chasing unreleased camera models is familiar with this type of thing. 3D Deniers can point out that this is 9V trying to piggy-back on 3D mania.
3D Believers on the other hand will point out that Nine Volt has a solid reputation - if you look at their eBay Store Feedback, they have a 99.8% rating and they have been on eBay since 1999. Of the last 12 months, they have 723 completed transactions, with just two negatives (wrong item, and fungus in lens that was refunded except for shipping) and one neutral (complaint about import duties, which is typically not the seller's fault).

muddy feet, clear politics at jazzfest.
Politics were in the
air during jazzfest -- literally. While the Neville Brothers closed the event on
the Acura stage, a plane circled above the Fair Grounds towing a banner that
read: "Shell, Hear the Music. Fix the Coast You Broke." Not all the commentary
was so overt, and none as visible, but it was there if you kept your eyes and
ears open. Mind you, it's too easy in New Orleans these days to read meaning
and purpose into every lyric or song choice -- was Sheryl Crow making a
statement by covering "Gimme Shelter," or was she just doing a Stones tune? --
yet some of the messages were timely, pointed, and worth remembering.
Here's my reflection on all that in a piece for the website Truthdig.

Is Mr. Rice the Answer to This Chinese Company's Woes?
Robert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Country Style Cooking (NYSE: CCSC) reported earnings earlier this week and I have gone back to my original thesis to determine if Country Style is a place I want to put more of my investment dollars. I was looking for growth that was closer to 25 to 30% annually on the top line. The announcement recently indicated that the company would see annual revenue growth of between 17% and 18% this year. Not exactly what I wanted to see. However, much has changed in the way we should look at Chinese investments and the economic engine. This contextual change means we should reevaluate our investments in Chinese companies a little differently. Let's take a closer look at the details of the report.
Overall, it looks like a mediocre quarter for Country Style Cooking with revenue growing at 12.6% YoY, but comparable store sales down 5.3% (I am not sure but I think both of these numbers are in local currency). A bright spot was the 21 new stores opened in the quarter, including a trial run of 15 new "canteen style quick serve restaurants" called Mr. Rice in 4 markets which management said were well received. The downside is that only a net of 6 new Country Style restaurants were opened in the quarter.
Another bright spot was the improvement of the restaurant's margins. Food and Paper were lower and wages stayed relatively the same while rent increases were offset by utility reductions. Overall it meant a 110 basis point, or 1.1%, increase in the margins to 19.5%. As a comparison, Chipotle Mexixan Grill (NYSE: CMG) which is one of the better operators here in the states achieves restaurant margins over 25% consistently and last quarter was at 27.4%. So there may be some room to improve there.
Net margins were very good on the surface. There was 470 basis point increase from 2011 to 2012. But if you dig into those numbers you see a swing in Fx of 150 basis points and a 150 basis point increase related to other income (management called these out as government subsidies in the release). I am not sure if these are sustainable. A better comparison, would be income from operations which showed an increase but only 20 basis points from 7 to 7.2% YoY.
Another positive area is the cash balance and cash from operations. As of 9/30, there was $87 million in cash on the balance sheet. While there are some long term liabilities on the balance sheet the company has no long term debt to offset the cash. So I calculated that they have approximately $3.30/ADS (each ADS represents 4 shares and there are 105,462,012 shares outstanding). Management also reported an increase in cash generated from operations of 111% in local currency as well as an increase of 166% in local currency of free cash flow (cash from ops-capital expenditures for restaurants and offices). FCF in 2012 is positive vs. negative which is also a good sign.
I am continuing to hold my shares. I am not expecting any short term explosion related to this stock but it looks like Q3 might be a step in the right direction from an operating perspective. However, I do not think the rewards being offered right now outweigh the risks of investing in China. If we can see some more growth in the core restaurants and the new Mr. Rice restaurants, we might have something very positive here and I might be interested in putting more into the stock at that time.

The Wings of Life Children's Centre has been established in 2004 as a childhood development centre in the slum of Kibera on the Wings of Life Gospel Center foundation early 2000.
The Wings of Life centre has for ambition to support and help destitute children of the slum and other street children in Nairobi victims of poverty, family breakdown, abuse and neglecting who live in a precarious situation of suffering, hunger, lack of education, of love, etc. The children the centre helps are from a range of 4 to 8 years old often from single parents/guardian, abandoned or orphans.
The Wings of life team, composed of 3 volunteering teachers and one subordinate staff, are providing counselling, education and food to around 200 children.
Nils Landgren launched in December 2009 an initiative to assist this programme managed by Pastor Jane Macharia by supporting financially, together with close friends, the feeding programme of the Centre in order to ensure that's these kids have access to food daily.
The kartsen Jahnke Konzertdirektion in germany supporting Nils Landgren initiative towards Wings of Life in Kibera.
Two bands at "jazz under stjärnorna"in Brantevik (Sweden): "Pipps blue five" & "Hammondbolaget" donated their well deserved money for their contributions to Wings of Life.

Adventure #79: Morbidly Deenon October 16, 2008 at 10:47 am
I'm aware I've been posting alot of comics about work lately, mostly because that's pretty much all I've been doing for the past week, tommorrow is pretty much the first day I'm going to have off in eight days. And while I don't want to sound like I'm whining about getting the hours I was vying for weeks ago, it has stunted my creative output.
Somedays I just come home and plop on the couch, too exhausted to do much aside from uploading to the site. I've been able to layout panels for my Biography comic, but sadly not much else. Hopefully I'll get tons done on my day off.
Anywho, more about today. Paula Deen was signing some cookbook for kids or something so every soccerman in a 2 state radius was compelled to visit, and line up. To get an idea how popular it was, the signing was to take place at 7pm, and by the time I was getting ready to leave at 6pm, the line had nearly stretched from one end of the store, to the exit. Thank God I left early.
But this women was probably the scariest part of the line, she came up to the registers, asking to for a chair in the line, because she "couldn't stand". I noticed pretty much all of Paula Deen's admirers were pretty hefty, but this was just goddamned frightening. I literally cannot comprehend how somebody could let that happen to themselves, of course, I'm not above joking about it, I'm only human.
Yes, I know I'm not exactly skinny. But I can still take solace that I'm not THAT bad.

Food is an essential staple of life and increasingly, an important means of building community. Alachua County Florida can address issues of sustainability through food; it is a nexus for discussing social, economic, and environmental issues. The Downtown Farmer's Garden serves as the place in our community to have these conversations. It is a collaborative effort between the County, not for profit groups, local businesses, and University. This partnership is a committed to maintaining a healthy, vital, and resilient community.
The garden space was made possible by a generous grant from the Downtown Rotary Club. It serves as a living classroom for raised bed gardening, composting, organic management practices, and native pollinators. Fruit and vegetables grown at the garden are regularly given to local charities.
A video of the July planting event is available as item number 7 of the Community Update.
Thanks to all our Coummunity partners who have supported the design, planting and maintenance of the garden.

this case reeks of big time crime involvement. This is not one man vs the other. You will see as this unfolds how Henandez and the man he killed were caught up in some organized ****.....
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
Additional details from the court room through Victoria Warren of 7NEWS, Boston's WHDH-TV, on Twitter:
First assistant district attorney Bill McCauley "says Lloyd was shot multiple times, in groin, arm, side, chest and back. DA says appears semi automatic weapon used. DA says Hernandez and Lloyd spoke in hours before murder. DA: key found in victims pocket was to a car rented by Hernandez. DA: Aaron Hernandez home has 14 cameras. Footage missing from hours after murder."
"DA: shell casings recovered from scene at Lloyd's feet. Lloyd shot and killed in industrial park"
McCauley also shared final text messages from Lloyd to a family member: "Did you see who I'm with?" ... "NFL" ... "Just so you know"
McCauley also said in court that Hernandez was seen on home surveillance carrying a gun in hand. There were two other men involved in the case, but there was no immediate information on either man.
Hernandez "drove the victim to the remote spot, and then he orchestrated his execution," McCauley said.
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
To be clear: DA's saying #hernandez shot Lloyd three times right after Lloyd got out of the car. Then stood over him & put two in his chest.
The evidence was all on the security system supposedly..... so it has to be true.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Am I the only one who prefers the old gods came first version? The way I see it is that the old gods were first, they had the elemental lords busy in a big brawl. After taking a quick nap for a few thousand years the titans show up and hide their elemental playthings in the elemental planes and proceed to dump their own little experiments all over. After waking up the old gods are annoyed at all the changes made and decide that since this is THEIR world, they might as well take control of these new toys and maybe even write their initials on them top make sure they aren't taken. Later the titans return and in an 'Omg you took or stuff we would totally have noticed you last time so you must have come later' moment the titans pushed each old god back in its room and put a lock on the door. They then put a couple of guards on duty and leave again.
Yep, Azeroth is being fought over by a bunch of toddlers

Health & Pregnancy
Antibiotics for Toxoplasmosis During Pregnancy and After Birth
Toxoplasmosis infection during pregnancy can lead to eye and brain damage in a growing baby (fetus) or infant. Antibiotic therapy can prevent or reduce these birth defects.
Initial treatment after a mother is infected
When a pregnant woman has a toxoplasmosis infection, she is treated with an antibiotic. This lowers the chances that her fetus will become infected.
If you are diagnosed with toxoplasmosis during pregnancy, you will be given spiramycin.1 Spiramycin collects in the placenta, the site where the Toxoplasma gondii parasites travel to the fetus.
Treatment for a fetus
If an amniocentesis shows that a fetus is infected, giving the mother a combination of antibiotics lowers the risk of birth defects and may cure the infection.2Sulfadiazine plus pyrimethamine (an antibiotic commonly used for malaria) is sometimes used with the antibiotic spiramycin.1, 3
Treatment for a newborn
A newborn who has toxoplasmosis needs a year of antibiotics to lower the risk of eye and brain damage. This treatment is given to the newborn even if the mother was treated during pregnancy.

Cheetahs On The Edge
However, you are about to see them in a way which has never been done before. This short film by Gregory Wilson is a combination of the resources of National Geographic and Cincinnati Zoo – using a Phantom camera they caught Cheetahs running at 1200 per second.
Not only that but they did it while driving at speed beside and in front of the cheetahs. In this way they captured every shade and degree of the big cat's movement even when it was moving at its top speed of sixty miles per hour. The vast amount of frames per second then allowed the filmmakers to create one of the most breath-taking pieces of slow motion footage you are ever likely to see of a cheetah.

Beneath the Surface
Sarosh Jacob. It captures life beneath the surface in a number of places throughout the world, starting with Bonaire and a mesmerizing school of fish. Next we go on to the Cayman Islands and its beautiful coral alongside the Kittiwake shipwreck. From there it is on to Socorro, Mexico and we get to see dolphins and whale sharks: next to Iceland and the Silfra Rift and lagoon. Finally we go to the Philippines, and witness clownfish anemone, schooling jacks, turtle and Palau to see the amazing sight that is Jellyfish Lake.
It is an almost bewildering array of animals and habitats. It is also for those of you who have emailed in specifically asking for more marine life and environments to be featured on Ark in Space. You're quite right – over 70% of the planet is covered by water!

Man and Beast
We have never had movie time on Ark in Space, but this is a brilliant point at which to start. Directed by Dante Ariola, it tells the story of Dr Alan Rabinowitz – who is one of the leading experts on big cats in the world. We are shown his childhood and his visit to the Bronx Zoo in his youth: yet Alan was different as a child.
He had a major stutter which meant that he found difficulty in expressing himself to people. Yet like many stutterers he discovered that when he spoke to animals, it disappeared.
In this beautifully made short film (which should really be made in to a full length movie)we follow his life through his formative years and in to adulthood where he overcomes his stutter and finally gets to study jaguars in the wild. Today Dr Rabinowitz is CEO of Panthera, a nonprofit organization devoted to saving the world's wild cat species. He has devoted his lifetime to charting the world's last wild spaces, with the aim of preserving wild territories and safeguarding homes, on a massive scale, for many of the world's most threatened mammals.

Anyone see the USA game yesterday?
Printable View
Anyone see the USA game yesterday?
USA play soccer? :confused:
We try.
Yea,the US sided down Uruguay 2-1... That was a surprise for me..
USA have some good players.
Claudio Reyna is good, and i really like that black dude you got in defence: Eddie Pope i think he's called. I really appreciated his performance against Ireland a few weeks ago.
Wizard, good point. It seems like Argentina may have quite an easy route to the quarter finals. I still think Italy will beat them though.
France will prolly meet Brazil in the quarters too.
I still say France vs Italy final.
I think Uraguay will have a strong tournament as well...sometimes losing in the friendlies and other "not so important" matches are a great wakeup call before world cup. So I guess Brazil has had quite a few of those... :)
Uruguay are in group A with France, Denmark and Senegal.
I'm doubtful whether they'll actually make it past the group stages.
Denmark will choke.
err crap...haha...i meant paraguay...not uraguay...damned guay teams :D...i don't think they'll come out on top of spain but will still come out...
I dunno, i've never seen the squad yet.
And EP, the top two of their group will have to play one of the top two of group F depending on how they place.
Group F = England, Argentina, Nigeria or Sweden.
Uruguay have no chance getting past them.
It was a pretty ugly game. Should have been 2 all, bad offside call took a goal away.
The US team needs to focus on their strengths. They tend to be bigger, stronger, and in good shape, and lack some ball skills.
So, they need to take advantage of that, and play a physical game.
eddie pope is one of my favorite players.
EP, Paraguay are a good side yes, but once they lack confidence it's easy to take advantage. We stuffed them 4-0 a few weeks ago. Or was it 4-1?
Paul, I didn't realise you followed football. Does Eddie still play for an american club team or is he playing in Europe? I dunno why, but i have it in my head that he's playing in Germany. He should be playing in Europe. That's where the big bucks are.
anyway i'll send you a postcard
What games are you going to see? You jammy bastard :)
I started playing soccer when I was 5, and stopped when I was 24. My dad started a rec leauge in the town where I grew up, and later coached in the MD major leaugue (I played in the MML for a couple of years - not for my dad). I played every position. Became fairly proficient in the goal (especially indoor), But prefered Right Back or Sweeper/Stopper. 'Retired' at 24 after a broken foot.
Love the game. Don't watch as much as I would like, and don't really keep up with it.
I enjoy my every four year fix of coverage of the World Cup. It's fun to watch with my dad.
I'm not sure where Pope is playing... I know he *was* playing in MLS at one time.
Yeah, I like defensive or central midfield, myself. It feels good to "command" the game.
I haven't played in a good long while though.
Are you not able to watch matches live or watch highlights on american sports channels? like ESPN? (i think it's called that anyway.)
Eddie Mathis is a pretty good player for the states. Bayern Munich are after him now
The MLS is covered on major networks when there isn't anything else going on.
There is limited coverage of Premier league, etc, on some networks.
The World Cup games will all be on ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2.
Main thing is I don't really have the time to sit down and watch soccer. I'll make it this month, tho.
I like the women's football team too. Mia Hamm is good. Is there a farrow on their team?
I actually prefer watching the girls play. I think they US girls spend more time playing and less time whining.
Mia Farrow? Or is she an actress? haha
or is it Harrow?
There are two player on the girls team i like to watch. One is Mia Hamm and the other is...~forgotten her name~
I can't find my wittle pee pee.
I think uruguay will have a good world cup, what with Recoba, Dario Silva, Fonseca leading the line its not a bad bet at 100-1 either ive backed em anyway
:eek: :omg: :mad: Mexico has Italy AND Croatia in their group! AHHH! Thats ok though we can take care of Croatia with ease (that can be my birthday gift from Mexico to me since it is my b-day when they play!). But why oh why is Italy in our group! Oh well they have something coming to em on June 13 ;)
does your american soccer team (female) have a nudie calander like all the female sport teams do in Aust? :hump: :hump:

Hi fellow Edugeekers-
Do any of you have any comments on the statement below (I intend to email it out to staff when finished) - the background to the problem is included.
Thanks in advance - Ben
At the beginning of the year we removed the restrictions in place to prevent the saving and storage of music files such as mp3, wma and ogg files. This restriction was originally down to a lack of network storage and capacity you now have much larger storage quotas (15Gb) and the synchronisation of files to staff laptops only deals with files that have changed.
Recently some copyrighted works have appeared in the shared areas which have now been removed Here are the reasons why:
What UK Copyright Law Protects
UK copyright law (primarily, the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988) provides protection for recorded music (along with other types of creative works) by giving the copyright owner certain exclusive rights of use. Anyone who uses recorded music for those protected uses will be infringing copyright unless they are licensed (i.e. authorised) to do so by the copyright owner.
For recorded music (referred to under copyright law as sound recordings), the original copyright owner is the person who undertakes the arrangements necessary for the recording to be made usually this is the record company responsible for organising and paying for the recording.
The copyright owners exclusive rights to use recorded music in the UK include, amongst others:
the right to play them in public;
the right to communicate them to the public (including broadcasting them);
the right to copy them.
Licensing Exemptions and Exclusions
There is an exemption in the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 that gives educational establishments the rights to play and perform copyrighted music when used as part of the curriculum. The audience must only consist of learners, staff and others involved in the educational process.
Non curricular uses of recording or public performance of these works is not covered (non-curricular meaning anything that is not essential to the educational process, such as playing music in the background during an assembly or in the classroom.)
The school will purchase both PRS and PPL licensing to cover the non-curricular use of copyrighted music being publically performed within the school. These give us the right to play/perform the recording in public and the right to communicate them to the public, allowing us to upload performances and media which include music purchased from legitimate sources to the Internet.
All music used within the school must be legitimately purchased as a CD or through a download service such as iTunes. The school does not have to purchase this music and we trust that staff acquire the music from a suitable source.
Neither of the licences or the curriculum exception cover the use of music in commercial or other activities that could not reasonably be considered within the normal activities of a school. (Playback or Performance in the Café is excluded under this) 2
Distribution of Files
The school does not have a right to distribute these music files, and storing these on any shared area or website where members of the school could download them could constitute a criminal offence under the CDPA.
In conclusion, any individual can (with music purchased from a legitimate source) play/perform and broadcast music as part of a derived work, but cannot share the music files between each other, as this would constitute the distribution of unauthorised copies.
Staff should not encourage the sharing and distribution of copyrighted files by putting them into shared areas. Our Staff AUP also covers this:
Where work is protected by copyright, I will not download or distribute copies (including music and videos).
The punishment for copyright offences is a fine of £5,000 or 6 months imprisonment, rising to an unlimited fine and imprisonment. This may lead to the conviction of the member of Staff.
Staff should encourage students to create their own compositions using the many tools available to them or use works that are out of copyright (70 years from the date of the recorded performance).

"Saved by veterinarians SuperGatito
This kitten was born with deformed rib cage, which directly affected the position of his heart and triggered a series of breathing problems. In this situation, veterinarians put a splint on his chest and blindfolded him, it was then realized that the dressing resembled a superhero costume, hence the name Supergatito.
Supergatito more like Iron Cat

Especially when you're in the process of getting healthy or losing weight going out to eat can be stressful and I hope these guides show you that it doesn't have to be! Going out doesn't mean you have to throw away being healthy and it doesn't mean you have to deprive yourself. You can eat in moderation, especially if you use some of these ideas, so pick something you'll enjoy but that won't go overboard and then relax and have fun with your friends!
Personally I love going out with my friends and my boyfriend but I still like to do so in moderation. I think a little indulgence is a good thing so I usually try to have a mostly healthy meal using the ideas above and then split one (not-so-healthy) dessert. :)
