Decided to enter the competition for a new UK:Resistance logo, because I enjoy messing around with Photoshop and it took my mind off watching people I like losing at Snooker.
First off is a fairly clear rip-off:
(Its obvious if you know the game…)
Then a somewhat better effort with lots of Sega characters (hooray!) but not Sonic. Because Sega haven't made an even slightly good Sonic game in over a decade. Sorry. They should just give up and do better things like Valkyria Chronicles and House of the Dead Overkill (oh wait, I think they are…)
I wonder if UK:R will use either? Probably not but its given me a laugh which is good enough for me.
Update – here are a couple more alternatives. I must stop Photoshopping now and get back to iPhone development, but Photoshopping is more fun!

I had a bit of a scare last weekend when I noticed that my Sky+HD box had started missing recordings. Fortunately it was ok after a quick reboot, but I a bit of web searching and found on the very handy Digital Spy Sky HD forum that some of the Sky receivers made by Thomson have a nasty habit of their power supplies blowing up Fortunately a quick check under the hood of the box revealed that this wasn't the problem. Phew! Kudos to Sky for not putting a warranty seal on the box so I could do this and still stay the right side of my warranty (still have 5 months left!).
The fix, it seems so far, was to turn off the somewhat dubious Anytime TV option, which downloads 'recommended' telly to your Sky box overnight. Unfortunately this telly is often (a) movie channels that I don't subscribe to or (b) shit. So I wasn't really going to miss it. Apparently this can cause some Sky boxes to fail recordings on the second receiver (e.g. not work when recording two things at once). So fingers crossed, I've fixed that for now.
Anyway that got me thinking about what the 'perfect' sky box would be – essentially Sky boxes are just PCs with a couple of Satellite tuner cards in them, running some custom software. (Of course that is also true of a vast array of home electronics now).
What would I like my Sky box to do, that it doesn't now? I've made a list:
Record more channels at once. Yeah, sometimes two just isn't enough – don't blame me; its the evil TV schedulers that put everything I want to watch on at 9pm on a Sunday. This would be mitigated if I had some of the other features, like 'work with iPlayer' or indeed:
Find repeats of programs. Especially useful if you miss a program or have a recording clash, being able to suggest recording a repeat or the same program on a +1 channel would really help. I have to do this manually and even then often have to use the sky web-based TV guide or the iPhone based TiotiTV+ app which is very handy.
Better searching. Have you ever tried to find a program on the Sky box itself? It's awful – you can't actually search by program name but just get a rubbish A-Z list which means pages of shite, usually on channels you don't care about. I usually don't even both and just use web/iPhone app to find things. Search needs to improve a lot to get the most out of the sheer number of channels/repeats available. Searching just in your favorite channels would be good (as would having an unlimited number of favorite channels). Better caching of the program guide on the box would help hugely as paging through the schedule feels like using Teletext on an analog TV circa 1980… painfully slow and horrible.
Work with iPlayer / 4oD / ITV Player / etc. If you miss a program there are now plenty of legal ways to 'catch up' with it… but to use these you have to use a PC (ok, sometimes a Mac works too) and can't watch it on your big telly unless you plug a PC into it (or have a little Mac mini under it as I do). I was very glad to see that Virgin's V+ box now works with BBC iPlayer. Sky need to match this and ideally work with Channel 4 and ITV's on demand services as well.
Better web interface. Kudos to sky for having a reasonable online TV guide (it does break about 50% of the time I try to use it) and even more for having Remote Record, so that I can get my Sky box to record something I've found on the web (TiotiTV+ uses this to allow remote record from the iPhone, which is dead handy). But it's all very one-way. I can't tell if I've already set something to record, so I can easily get recording clashes and not realise it. Ideally I want to be able to manage the recordings and series links from the web, so they need to have the Sky box actually talk to their servers to do this.
Use the freaking internet already! When Sky first launched I can see that they had to include a modem to allow the Sky box to send information back to them, but now does anyone really not have the internet at home? I seriously doubt anyone has a High Definition TV and Sky+ HD box and doesn't have the internet. There is already an Ethernet socket on the back of the box, so why is it not being used? With this they wouldn't need to plug the phone line in, could make use of iPlayer and other video-on-demand, could provide a local web interface / automation – lots of things. Just make use of the socket that you already have…
Streaming to other devices at home. Specifically I want to stream music/tv to an Apple Macbook in another room. I understand that there are some rights-management issues here, but I would be happy to trade some quality for the flexibility. Sky should bear in mind that as people can already download and decrypt channels using a DVB-S2 card, they won't be making it 'easier' for people to 'steal' content by doing this. It's already easy for people to do this. What they're doing is making the produce that people pay money for better. Doing that means they'll have more people paying money for it – the people who want to 'steal' it have plenty of ways to do that, so just ignore them. Just make the service better for the paying customers.
Use less power when on standby. I'm really not convinced about using 40 Watts in standby — that's just awful. They need to power down the hard drive, switch the CPU into a lower power mode and switch off whatever they can. It's really inexcusable.
Find programs I want to watch automatically. Series link is pretty useful, but only works for things that are on within the next week. There are plenty of US TV shows that go on a one month hiatus over Christmas, so it is easy to miss them when they come back. The Sky box should be able to keep a list of shows to always search for – even if they aren't on in the next week. (If it currently does this, its hidden and thus useless). You could even set it to search for a particular episode across any channels – e.g. if you've missed one in a series, you may be able to find it repeated on another channel eventually.
Larger hard drive(s). As I've already spoken about, it is easy for people to 'steal' content so Sky should just allow people to use larger hard drives, making them user-upgradeable. Making use of the existing eSATA socket on the back would be a good idea here. Having future 'high end' boxes with more tuners and a RAID set up would be even better.
Better presentation. The onscreen program guide itself is functional, but the presentation of recorded programs is very poor – they should look at various home media software such as Boxee to see what should be done. You could display the summary of the show (which the box already has) and a thumbnail image (that again the box has) or even the series logo / series summary (which can be downloaded from teh internets).
Having thought about my list I've realised that most of it could be done with a software upgrade – something that I know Sky are working on as rumors of a new EPG have abounded for months. We'll have to see if it is much of an improvement!

WORK? Are you crazy? Long weekends are perfect for having fun and relaxing!
1. Sleep in.
2. Putter around in pajamas for several hours while drinking tea and reading magazines.
3. Take hot bath, fall asleep in tub.
4. Walk to park with book, sleep on grass.
5. Glass of wine with dinner.
6. Early to bed, another tough day ahead tomorrow & the day after!
leapkate- You know how to live!
SherryBin and leapkate: You two are making me laugh - the post that I'm working on right now, for Monday, is: How To Really Enjoy a Day Off. One of the options is all about relaxing - so, stay tuned :)
So many fun projects!
I totally can appreciate the first project for getting correct lighting while taking photos.
leapkate has the right idea. In Canada, we already celebrated our holiday last weekend and I basically did just what she / he recommended :)
Very interesting!
@leapkate I scanned thru the first 19 projects --went with your hot bath idea. Lavender scented bubbles -- sweet!
Great post! Definitely going to refer to this again in the future. Thanks for all the great ideas!
This is an awesome list! I'm saving it. Not sure if I want to work at all on 3 day weekend. But I definitely want to try a few projects on my more productive days.
good post, cos I feel exhausted to think about how to arrange a holiday. good ideas.
OK, what I actually DID do over the weekend: read three books (fluff), took two long walks, saw "Ironman 3", watched a few episodes of the first season of "Castle" (which keeps getting recommended to me -- I do like it), and worked n recuperating from a back spasm. (Downloaded and started reading "Back Sense" on my Kindle app, resumed my physical therapy exercise program, the aforementioned walks...)
The only DIY I did was start to work on removing the rust from the chrome legs of some stacking chairs I got cheaply for my forthcoming deck. That technique of rubbing at the rust with aluminum foil and water is insane!!! It seems almost Harry Potterish but it does actually work! (Two down, five to go.)
I got tired just reading that list. Time to make another cup of tea and continue perusing the internet.
Great list - I looked at at least a dozen of them. This means that I've earned a nap - yes?
One should also take some time and remember the real reason for the three day weekend. Remembering those who died while serving our country.

Craig Miller has been raising turkeys on his farm near Harrisonburg, Va., for 26 years. On Wednesday, one of Miller's toms is to briefly achieve national celebrity at the annual White House turkey pardoning ceremony.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Miller said. "I take it as an honor."
Miller also raises about 129,000 other turkeys a year for, well, non-pardoning purposes, he says. But in planning for the presidential festivities, he has been carefully raising this year's presidential turkeys from a flock of 40 eggs that hatched in July.
Other members of that specific flock have toured petting zoos and schools around Virginia. But according to the National Turkey Federation, the two turkeys that will make it to the White House — the one to be pardoned and a backup — do not attend these public events for "biosecurity reasons."
At about 18 weeks old, each tom weighs roughly 40 pounds, which Miller says is typical for male turkeys.
The presidential turkeys are almost always male, even though the turkeys most Americans carve up on Thanksgiving are female. Miller says this may be because the toms' white plumage makes for a better photo opp.
"They get pretty," he said. "They strut. They're more photogenic, you might say."
Presidents have been officially pardoning turkeys since 1989. And though it's a tongue-in-cheek event, this year there's even a Change.org petition asking the president to abolish the turkey pardoning ceremony, which the petition says "makes no sense and lacks compassion."
The gobbling duo arrived in the nation's capital on Monday and are staying in a room at the posh W Hotel until their clemency hearing on Wednesday, upon Obama's return from his Asia trip.
The White House has dubbed them Gobbler and Cobbler, and is soliciting Facebook votes to see which one should be officially spared.
While only one turkey will be "pardoned" for cameras, both will go from the White House Rose Garden ceremony to nearby Mount Vernon, home of the nation's first president, where they will live out their days with their feathered brethren.

A pennysaver (or free ads paper, Friday Ad or shopper) is a kind of free community periodical available in North America (typically weekly or monthly publications) that advertises items for sale. Frequently pennysavers are actually called The Pennysaver (variants include Penny Saver, Penny-saver, PennySaver). It usually contains classified ads grouped into categories. Many pennysavers also offer local news and entertainment, as well as generic advice information, various syndicated or locally written columns on various topics of interest, limited comics and primetime TV listings.
The term is widely used in eastern North America from Ontario through New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, though there are pennysavers elsewhere. Pennysavers are sometimes published by a locally dominant daily newspaper as a brand extension of their publication and featuring advertisements published in the same style as the parent newspaper.
The PennySaver is a publication distributed in California. Formerly owned by Harte-Hanks, it and its website, PennySaverUSA.com, were sold to OpenGate Capital in 2013.[1]
In popular culture[edit]
The Pennysaver plays a significant role in the 2007 film Juno, in which the main character, Juno, searches for adoptive parents for her unborn child in the publication.
In a Season Six episode of The Golden Girls, Episode 18: "Older and Wiser," both Rose and Blanche are hired to model for a local pennysaver. The two begin to bicker over who has the prettier face and hands, but the joke is on them: When the pennysaver is delivered, they find out that they appear in an ad for beauty cream—as "before" models![2]

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Change is not always for the best! My older children attended the school years ago, great experience. Now my youngest is attending, Changed is putting it "nicely". No communication!!
Boneville Elementary is a good school. They are rated an 'A' School...that says it all. The quality of children depends on the education parents give them, not on homes value. The quality of a person or child does not depend on their financial status. I also believe that the schools or teachers are not the ones 'completely' responsible for our kids education. Education starts at home.
Our new buildings are done come and see all we have to offer. Soon are new PE (physical education) facilities will be ready. Go Bulldogs! If you want to help your child get involve in school!
Bonneville Elemtary has definetly change for the best that I have ever experience as a parent of having special needs children in the school. Plus their academics for the children are so successful, that push for the potential of kindergarden and first grader to thru the fifth. Our kids will be able to make it thru the middles school and high school and even ready for college. Thank you Teachers and Staff for all the hard work that you put in this school for our children! Music, Art, and sports or pe will be more on the rise when we are able to move in the new buildings and less on the construction site, This school will be so awesome! Parents, are involved in so many ways, in the classroom, media, lunchroom as helping and on the SAC and PTA we just need more parent yes you can Help so many ways!
Great students and staff every decision is based on making things better and helping students to succeed
My son loves bonneville. Bonneville is a great school the teachers are the best. Bonneville is the selling point of real estate in this area.
This school places too much of their efforts helping special children and in so doing the average children get bored easily. It may not be the school's fault, it's a neighborhood that makes a school. Unfortunately my husband and I are not the only ones that recognize this and feel upset about this, there are other neighbors do so too, but are unable to do anything about the community. We on the other hand, moved last year to get our children into a better school we, we will miss the trees and the friendly down to earth neighbors. Hopefully the price of homes will increase in the area so the quality of children will go up and allow the teachers to teach a normal class.
My step children go to Bonneville Elementary and have done wonderfully. The youngest is in the headstart program. She had a lot of difficulty in her last program and started Bonneville in January 2005. Since then she has improved dramatically.
I am an ADDITIONS volunteer at Bonneville and have been for almost 4 years with BOTH of my sons attending. We have had nothing but positive experiences and INCREDIBLE teachers. Very concerned and helpful school staff to boot. THANKS Bonneville. -Susan L Wallace
My husband and I are very upset with this school. We had a problem with the school last year and know we have no respect for the place and a few people that work there. The parent involvement in the school is very low. Thats because they wont allow it. Family/parent friendly they are not.

About us
During 1993, the School of Nursing (SON) celebrated the Centennial year of the founding of the hospital nursing program from which it evolved, Virginia Hospital Training School. The program operated as a diploma program until 1953 when a four-year baccalaureate program was initiated. In the late 1970's, efforts were made to increase the flexibility of the undergraduate program for registered nurses; in 1979, an evening option was begun and in 1989 a weekend track was implemented. In 1968, the first master's degree program in nursing in Virginia was implemented at MCV. In 1974, a certificate family nurse practitioner program was begun. Certificate nurse practitioner programs were added in obstetrics-gynecology (1975), and pediatrics (1976). In 1983, the nurse practitioner programs were moved into the master's framework and subsequently tracks were added. In January 1986, a Ph.D. program in nursing was approved for implementation in fall 1986.
The nursing program is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission
and was last accredited in 2010.

Mon 31st of January 2011, filed under SEO
Fighting spam
Google has launched a new algorithm in an attempt to combat spam in search results. Matt Cutts, head of Google's Webspam team, confirmed in his blog that the filter was now live. The result, he said, is that "slightly over 2% of queries change in some way, but less than half a percent of search results change enough that someone might really notice."
The move comes as part of Google's drive to lower spam in search results, as complaints of 'noise' have soared in recent months.
The perpetrators
According to the official Google blog post, the intended targets of the algorithm are:
SEO implications
Cutts promised the new measures mean "searchers are more likely to see the sites that wrote the original content rather than a site that scraped or copied the original site's content". As a result, natural SEO techniques will be more focused than ever on producing original and regularly updated written content, with subtle keyword placement. There is also talk of enabling detailed search feedback from users, to help find and remove sites that somehow slip through the filters.
Meanwhile, Cutts hastened to clarify that PPC campaigns still have no impact whatsoever on natural search engine results.

WASHINGTON, (UPI) — A bipartisan group of U.S. senators announced Wednesday they have agreed on a proposal to expand background checks for gun purchases to all commercial sales.
Pat Toomey, a Pennsylvania Republican, and Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, told reporters on Capitol Hill the expanded background checks would apply to all sales at gun shows and online, and would require records be kept to document background checks were carried out.
The agreement exempts sales and transfers of firearms conducted between friends and acquaintances, The Hill reported. It prohibits the establishment of a federal government firearms registry.
Toomey said in announcing the agreement he doesn't consider criminal background checks to be gun control, just "common sense."
"If you pass a criminal background check, you get to buy a gun," he said. "It's not a problem. It's the people who fail a criminal or mental health background check that we don't want having guns."
Background checks under the compromise would be stricter than under current law, which requires checks when purchases are made through a licensed dealer, but less stringent than the universal background checks sought by President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats after the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in which 20 school children and six staffers were killed.
"The events at Newtown, surely the events at Newtown, changed us all," Manchin said Wednesday.
Toomey and Manchin, both of whom hold an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association, struck the deal with Sens. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y. and Mark Kirk, R-Ill.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has said the bipartisan proposal would be the first issue considered once formal debate on his gun bill begins Thursday.
NBC News said Toomey and Manchin reached an agreement in principle Tuesday evening and spent the night working out the final details. Among other things, the compromise would exempt some transactions, such as those within a family, from background checks.
Information about the compromise had been circulated to the NRA. Sources close to the negotiations told NBC News it wasn't clear where the organization stood on the language. The NRA has said it opposes expanding background checks.
The deal represents a huge breakthrough for a package of new anti-gun-violence laws Obama proposed following the shooting in Newtown.
Republican Sens. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, Susan Collins of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Dean Heller of Nevada, Johnny Isakson of Georgia and Kirk have indicated they will join Democrats in opposing a threatened filibuster by Tea Party-backed GOP Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Mike Lee of Utah and Ted Cruz of Texas, intended to block Senate consideration of gun-control legislation, aides said.
"It's incomprehensible to me that we would not move forward with debate and amendments on an issue this important to the American people," said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Collins is co-sponsoring the bill's gun-trafficking and school-safety provisions.
With backers of new gun-safety laws increasingly optimistic they will have the 60 votes needed to overcome the filibuster and bring the bill to the floor, Reid said he would schedule a showdown vote for Thursday.
"We're moving forward on this bill," Reid said.
Reid earlier invoked his father's suicide by gunshot to appeal for consideration of the legislation, which would also crack down on people who purchase firearms for those who are not permitted to own them.
"The American people deserve a vote on this legislation," Reid said.

How do I handle my feelings of failure for not breastfeeding?
I've tried exhaustively -- and unsuccessfully -- to breastfeed my baby. It was always a struggle, even after I got professional help. During my pregnancy I was so excited about the idea of breastfeeding. Now I feel like a failure, especially because of all the information out there about breast milk being best. What should I do?

The best advice anyone ever gave me was "What's best for the mom, is best for the baby." If you feel like you have given it your best, don't feel guilty. There millions of healthy beautiful bottle fed babies in this world.posted 09/06/2004 by Szajo
Can anyone tell me the best formula to buy? Someone mentioned that there are a few that are very close to breast milk. Please let me know.posted 09/06/2004 by rocket30
Breastfeeding is best, but if you physically can't breastfeed, it is best to just accept that and move on. It is fine to grieve the loss of something you were looking forward to, but if you let guilt eat away at you, your baby could sense that, misinterpreting your unhappiness when bottle feeding him as displeasure with him! Enjoy lots of cuddles as you bottle feed. I feel bad for you, since I love breastfeeding my daughter, and I think it has made a difference in her life, but you've tried your best. What else can you do? It isn't like we have wet-nurses these days.posted 09/06/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I agree with the previous posters, that you are by no means a failure! I was driving down the highway the other day and I saw a sign that said "Babies Are Born To Be Breastfed". I thought it was such a presumptious billboard! I breastfeed my baby, and thankfully we haven't had any problems. But mothers who aren't able to breastfeed should not be made to feel like they are any less of a mother because of it. Best Wishes to you and your lovely baby! :)posted 09/04/2004 by **Elusive1**
My brother and his wife had a baby who could not latch on at all. They didn't give him a bottle though, either. They fed the baby pumped breast milk in a syringe! They also worked with a lactation consultant until he learned and he became a breastfeeding pro. Now that's dedication! They said that the "consultants" that help you in the hospital are not qualified the same as ones you hire on your own and can actually make thing worse by getting you and baby very frustrated or by saying you are "starving" your baby. Even the hospital does not always have your baby's best interest at heart. They are encouraged to give you formula as they receive free samples not to mention kickbacks. Be very wary!posted 09/02/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Just feel good that you gave it your best shot. I know a woman who refused to even try. She could only think about her own convenience (for example, she didn't want to have to get up for every feeding). You clearly care deeply for your child and are doing your very best -- and that is wonderful. So please don't beat yourself up!posted 09/01/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I feel that after having read a lot of the comments that I need to add to mine. As I said, I tried to bf, but my milk never seemed to come in. Before I gave birth, I took a bf class. I also tried 9 years to have a baby. After hearing all of the wonderful things about bf, I was determined to make it work. I told the nurses after my daugher was born..." No binkis, no bottles because that creates nipple confusion" After tring unsucessfully, I went to the bf teacher and 2 lactation consultants for help. The baby was latching on properly but then would stop and scream bloody murder because she was hungry. As I said, she also was not urinating. The nurses in the hospital told me that I was starving my baby! (I was even more devistated now!) They asked me to consider giving her a bottle-just this once- just so she would go to the bathroom. She drank a two oz bottle in seconds! I am not kidding. She was starving. That was when I went to the doctor for help. I asked for a pill/ a shot/ anything that would make the milk come in. Nothing. I spent hours pumping and trying to get my milk to come in. My best friend (who is 10 years older than me and has 6 children all of whom she breastfed sucsessfully) begged me not to give up. She pleaded with me to come to her house and she would help me. I was in her house for ten minutes and she told me to go to Wal-Mart and buy a bottle of formula! She could not believe how much my daughter was crying! Again, please don't feel guilty. I then took her to the ped and she lost weight. I again was crying at the ped's office. SHE told me that it wasn't worth the distress and to give my baby a bottle of formula--this is from the baby doc!!! There is only so much you can do and only so long you can stick to it.posted 09/01/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I breastfed my first child, six years ago, and now my second, who is 4 mos. With this one it felt like it was even harder to get started. It was very painful and he didn't learn to latch on correctly right away. I could cry every time he was hungry because of the pain, but I was determined. The truth is breastfed babies are generally healthier(less ear infections, breathing and digestive problems, and better immune systems). I think many women just don't have the support they need, and doctors are so quick to offer formula as a solution. Remember, it takes a good six to eight weeks to establish your milk supply and the more you supplement with formula, the greater you reduce your milk, thus it is not the best answer for having a low milk supply. Also, it can take time for baby to learn how to nurse properly, and although this time is hard on mom, it's also rerwarding. I got through it in the end, and to me it is always worth any and every sacrifice you have to make to make it work. There are certainly times when it is an impossibility, just make sure that is truly the case and use all your resources before you give up!posted 09/01/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Don't feel bad. I had the same feelings with my fisrt baby. I nursed him for three months, but it was a struggle. He would latch on and suck a little, then pull back and scream. When he started to lose weight (just a few ounces, but still) I said that was enough. As soon as he was on formula he gained 2 pounds in 2 weeks and has been growing like a weed ever since. Now I have a 3.5 month old daughter and she seems to be a much better eater, she is gaining weight normally, so I will keep breastfeeding her for the time being. Maybe I will be able to keep it up till she is 6 months at least. Just do what is best for your baby, and remember, once the baby is on formula you will be able to share the joy of feeding her with your husband or the grandparents.posted 09/01/2004 by Caleen_00
Try not to feel like a failure. I know what you're going through. We are told by doctors & other women that breastfeeding is best, and made to feel like evil monsters if we don't or can't breastfeed. But what some of those who breasfeed with ease don't seem to realize is, breastfeeding is NOT 'natural!' It is hard, painful, time-consuming to an overwhelming degree, and not every woman's body can do it. That's why there were wet nurses in the past! I tried for 8 weeks to nurse my first daughter. I had every problem: improper latch, blistered & bleeding nipples, engorgement, low milk supply, mastitis. My milk didn't come in until the 5th day but my baby was hungry by day 3. When she started screaming & ran a fever we took her to the ER and found that she'd already lost a dangerous amount of weight. I was crushed and felt like a failure, just like you. The hospital put her on emergency formula supplement while I tried to get a good supply going through round-the-clock pumping with a hospital grade pump. But my milk supply wasn't enough, forcing me to use more formula. Even though I was pumping every time my husband fed our daughter with a nutritional supplement system (to preserve her ability to latch on to my nipple), my milk supply would not increase to the level it needed to be. And then at about 7 weeks I got mastitus. My OB called me at home and told me "It's OK to give up. Not everyone can breastfeed and you are not a terrible person if you just don't want to go through this anymore." She validated waht I was feeling, and I started to cry. But with a doctor's 'permission,' I went to formula and my daughter improved almost overnight. She cried less, slept better and gained weight fast. With my second daughter, I vowed to try again, but when the same issues started up, my husband looked at me at 3 in the morning and said, "Why are you doing this to yourself? There's a can of formula in the pantry. Let's use it." And I did, and it felt right. I still feel twinges of guilt, but my two daughters are healthy, smart & happy. I've forgiven myself for not having the perfect breastfeeding ability, and you need to forgive yourself too. You did your best, and that's what counts. Now just feed your baby a formula that works, hold & cuddle him/her, and feel your love for this child grow. You are still a wonderful mother.posted 09/01/2004 by jcailte

Pink ribbons...they're everywhere: tee-shirts, hats, yogurt cups, KFC buckets, car ads, NFL stadiums...the list goes on and on. They make us feel good, as if we're all engaged in a successful battle against breast cancer.
But who is really benefiting? After all, more and more women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. Maybe it's the companies who wrap their products in pink to gain our admiration (and money)... and wouldn't it be something if some of the very companies that profit from their pink marketing campaigns have actually contributed to the breast cancer epidemic by selling known carcinogens?
Pink Ribbons, Inc. goes inside the story to reveal those who have co-opted what marketing experts have labeled a "dream cause."
Featuring: Dr. Samantha King (author of Pink Ribbons, Inc.: Breast Cancer and the Politics of Philanthropy); Barbara Brenner (of Breast Cancer Action), author/activist Barbara Ehrenreich (Nickel and Dimed); Nancy Brinker (of Susan G. Komen for the Cure); and advocate/surgeon Dr. Susan Love.
"Critic's pick! Uncannily prescient and enduringly timely." - The Washington Post
"Debunks the 'comfortable lies' and corporate doublespeak that permeate the breast cancer movement/industry." - Variety
"Revelatory. Deserves to be seen." - The New York Times
"This could be the most important documentary of the year. Forget that: of the decade." - Trust Movies
" Powerful... Enlightening." - Time Out New York
"Shocking and enraging...yet very entertaining." - San Francisco Bay Guardian
"Provocative. Argues persuasively that much of what we're currently doing to fight breast cancer is feel-good nonsense or worse." - The Hollywood Reporter
"A stinging indictment and trenchant critique of breast cancer 'culture'." - Los Angeles Times

Character wise, Rachel is my favorite. But singing wise, Mercedes is my favorite.
I hate Ryley. Ryder deserves better.
I'm so sick of people hating on the new characters and actors to Glee. They're people too and honest to God, they're actually good! I don't see the problem with them- can someone explain it to me? They're okay, alright?
I'm just bitter that Ryan never took Brittana seriously, and I have every right to be.
Without Jarley, season 4 would suck.
Finn looked so fit in season 4.
Nationals in season 3 is the best performance Glee ever had.
I don't ship Tina with anyone except Mike.
I think Melissa and Blake have less chemistry than Melissa and Jacob.
I think Jacob is the one who keeps the newbies all together.

SCHERERVILLE | A 23-year-old South Bend man told police he knew there was marijuana in two packages he retrieved Wednesday from a Schererville UPS store.
Benjamin Rangel was arrested about 5 p.m. while entering a vehicle outside the UPS store, 248 W. U.S. 30, police said.
Police located a third package in the vehicle after searching it, court documents show.
The contents of the three packages tested positive for marijuana. More than nine pounds of marijuana was confiscated, police said.
Rangel told police he picked up similar packages from multiple UPS stores during the past two months.
He also indicated he would receive $100 for each package after he dropped them off to another person, court documents state.
Police became aware of the suspicious packages when employees at the Schererville UPS store told police one of the packages received Wednesday was damaged and it appeared marijuana was inside.
The packages, which were addressed to a Schererville female, had been sent from Texas, police said.
The store allegedly received similar packages on three other occasions. Rangel allegedly picked up the packages, claiming to be the female's brother.
Rangel was charged in Lake Criminal Court with dealing in marijuana and possession of marijuana.

New Sony Cybershot WX1 is a promising P&S compact with 24-120mm lens and Exmor-R CMOS
The Sony W-series had a little bit of a change in direction today, as the brand new Sony Cybershot WX1 branches away from the mold of the current W-series, "led" by the Cybershot W300 which came out in February 2008 and was one of the highest megapixel-cameras of its time.
In contrast, the new WX1 downshifts to the 1/2.4" Exmor-R sensor with a more reasonable 10-megapixels. The lens is a welcome change as well, it is a "G" Sony-branded lens that has a versatile 24-120mm focal range and starts at f2.4, and offers optical image stabilization.
The "insides" are similar to the new TX1, and includes the sweeping panorama and the 720p HD video mode. But the display is a more traditional 2.7-inch LCD, not the touch-screen of the TX1.
Fans of "machine-gun mode" will be thrilled that just like the other "speed-demon sensor" cameras, it can record as fast as 10fps.
But it's not a non-stop party, the camera does not have an optical viewfinder, nor it gives the photographer control over exposure (A/S/M). It could have been, but it is certainly not a spiritual follow-up to the good old Cybershot V1.
Price and availability
The camera is estimated to be released in October with a starting price of $350. The camera is already listed for pre-order at Amazon.

A little bit about the Exmor R CMOS sensor
Both of today's new cameras, the WX1 and TX1, are using the new Sony Exmor R CMOS sensor, combined with the BIONZ engine.
As usual, the press release (see PDF file at Sony Europe website) has a number of claims, and because this is a new sensor, it is always interesting to see what is promised and what is delivered once the cameras are released and put under the microscope.
One of the claims is "superb low noise images" which is definitely something we would love to see come true. But we heard that story one too many times before, so we will reserve judgment until the pictures and the reviews come out.
Part of the reasoning behind this is that the new sensor captures more light than a conventional CMOS sensor of the same size. and at the same time it boosts sensitivity, and reduces noise. Walks on water and chews gum at the same time were not included in the press release ;-)
Next, the BIONZ sensor is credited for the cameras "speed-demon mode", and certainly being able to take 10fps stills is nice, be it for practical or geek-cred reasons :)
So we look forward to finding out what this new sensor can deliver. We hope for the best, but as always, cautious optimism makes the fall less painful ;-)
UPDATE: The Sony Electronics blog talks about the new sensor and gives a short primer on the backlit sensor.

Idaho has become the first state to have its so-called fetal pain law banning abortions after 20 weeks struck down by the federal courts.
The decision from U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill was handed down Wednesday as part of a ruling that also overturns other abortion restrictions in Idaho.
The ruling is binding only in Idaho but could have a persuasive effect in lawsuits challenging similar bans in other states — such as Arizona, where a suit is pending before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The case was brought by Jennie Linn McCormack, an Idaho mother who was arrested and charged with a felony for getting an abortion. Her story is heartbreaking and infuriating: Unable to afford the procedure at a clinic, McCormack ended her pregnancy using abortion pills she bought online. Soon she found herself charged under a state law that makes self-inducing an abortion a crime, and was ostracized by her community. In addition to the 20-week ban, the judge also struck down the self-abortion statutes, noting that the purpose of requiring abortions to be performed by a doctor is to protect women, not punish them for exercising their rights.
Similar 20-week bans have passed in 10 states total now–and lawsuits challenging them have been filed in Arizona and Georgia, as well. The anti-choice strategy with such laws has been to ignore the fact that they're unconstitutional and cross their fingers that the courts eventually agree. Let's hope this ruling will help drive home the point that when the Supreme Court repeatedly decided that the government cannot prohibit abortion before viability–whether at 20 or 12 or six weeks–they actually, ya know, meant it.

Funding Your Experience Abroad
Student Representative Program
Opportunities after Study Abroad
For students interested in studying at WKU as an Exchange Student:
If an agreement exists between WKU and your University (click here for a full list of WKU's international partnerships), you are eligible to apply to WKU as an Exchange Student.
First, however, you'll need to contact your University's International Office. Only students with formal nominations from the international office of a partner university will be reviewed.
If your nomination is approved, you will be notified and given instructions on what your next steps should be. Please keep in mind: nomination approval does not guarantee acceptance at WKU.
For Exchange Coordinators at WKU partner institutions:
Nominations of exchange students may be sent via email to Abby Leake and should include the following information:
Student's Name, Year in School, GPA/Academic Rank, Desired Semester(s) of Exchange, Major/Field of Degree, Desired Courses or Areas of Study at WKU
The deadline for nominating students wishing to study at WKU during the fall semester is April 1st. For the spring semester, the deadline is October 1st.
Nominated students, whether undergraduate or graduate, should meet the requirements as laid out in the Exchange Agreement. Exchange Coordinators should also consider students' English language skills. An adequate level of English Language Proficiency is a crucial part of ensuring that not only will the students have the skills necessary to thrive both academically and socially but that faculty will not be burdened with providing additional language support in their classrooms.
Undergraduate students are required to score a minimum of 500 on the TOEFL or a 5.5 on the IELTS Academic. To view further information on our policy for English Language Proficiency, click here.
Graduate students are subject to the Graduate School Admission requirements for international students. The Graduate School requires that students provide:
Evidence of ability to communicate in English (a minimum of 550 on the written TOEFL, a minimum of 213 on the computerized TOEFL, a minimum of 79 on the internet TOEFL, or a minimum of 6.0 on the IELTS Academic).
For all Graduate Studies Admission requirements as they apply to exchange students, click here.
English language requirements for both undergraduate and graduate exchange students are not absolute; individual academic departments may have different expectations for students seeking admission to their programs and may make the final decision on exchange student admission.

text: Solidarity is more than a simple word, concept or idea. It is a way of living, one which creates a bond between persons who may have differences, may live tens or thousands of miles apart, but share a unique value and vision for the world. Solidarity ties together the dispossessed and pours strength into the souls of the struggling. It creates a nexus stronger than any link in a chain, more connected than interlocking gears, and one which no system or tyranny can destroy.

Some of these were done during the last Free Comic Book Day and some were for some of my art students. One requested a "rude banana"…. those kind of sketches are always fun!
Wednesday August 13, 2014, at 1:51 pm

We hope to see you there, if you're anywhere near southwest Missouri! We'll be doing FREE sketches, as usual, and of course we'll have all of our books and prints for sale. If you haven't had a chance to pick up ROOK CITY #2 yet, now's your chance!
Elton will have hard copies of his first Middlemen novel there and will be offering both the first and second for free in digital format for that day (click on the link on the right side of this page). Speaking of Elton, be sure to check out his new PATREON page for information on how you can get on the inside track of the new stories he has been posting.

Planet Comicon is always the highlight of our year. Not only is it our closest large convention, but it continues to grow each year. This was the first year that the show moved to three days, and they opened up much more floor space to fit all of the vendors, artists, and celebrities.
For Elton and I the biggest highlight this year was being able to bring our good friend Nathan Judah with us. Eight years ago, Nathan was with us at our very first con (as exhibitors), so it really felt like things had come full circle to have him with us again. Nathan was primarily there to do sketches and promote his new Kickstarter comic that just launched… NOIR CITY. Check it out… it's super-powered crime noir goodness!
We had Rook City #2 and some new prints premiering at this con. A lot of people seemed to enjoy the fact that the story in that issue featured another convention. Elton had print copies of his Middlemen: Born of Earth novel and was giving away downloads of the newest one… Middlemen: Alone! And as always, we did a lot of sketches for people:
Obligatory cosplay pics:
We've already got some big plans for next year's Planet Comicon. Now it's time to get busy and make them happen!
Monday March 3, 2014, at 3:49 pm
Just a reminder that the new Rook City story will continue to update every weekday for the next two weeks. "Convention Blues" was a lot of fun to write and draw because of the chance to poke fun at a lot of comic book convention culture. The sheer amount of characters was challenging at times, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
If you're completely new to Rook City then you probably want to start back at the very beginning. Or you can just start at the beginning of the current storyline… whatever works for you. I look forward to hearing your feedback as the story unfolds! And don't forgett… the story will see print in Rook City #2, which will premiere at Planet Comicon next month!

Well, after a massively long delay, our Rook City webcomic will once again be updating regularly at least for the next month or so as we finish off the "Convention Blues" storyline. 21 new pages will eventually be posted, making this by far the longest Rook City tale as of yet. The pages are all done (and even sent off to the printer) and will be posted one per weekday until the story concludes (except today when you get two pages and the cover). The story will see print in Rook City #2, which will premiere at Planet Comicon next month!
Why the delay in finishing this story? Well, the main reason is that I got pulled away into a lot of other projects. In the time since I started this story, we have published three other comics and I've illustrated eight children's books. No real excuse, but that's how it is. However, this story would never leave me alone. It was too much fun to abandon forever… it had to be finished. For those few of you who have been waiting all this time… I truly appreciate your patience. I really hope you all enjoy how it turns out!
If you're completely new to Rook City then you probably want to start back at the beginning. Or you can just start at the beginning of the current storyline… whatever works for you. I look forward to hearing your feedback as the story unfolds! Remember to check back every weekday for a new page. Thanks for checking it out!

This is the legendary Son House, a giant of the early Delta blues and friend of Charley Patton. He had an exceptionally powerful voice and influenced other greats, such as Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. His song "Death Letter Blues" is possibly my favorite blues tune of all time and the inspiration for a story I've been working on.

I've been doing a lot of research for an upcoming story about a Delta bluesman (including reading the excellent book Deep Blues by Robert Palmer). So when I got a new brown paper sketchbook the other day, it inspired me to draw some blues players. Mississippi Fred was a country blues player from North Mississippi, whose droning style influenced later musicians such as Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside. This was drawn with various pens and brushes in white and black ink.
