- 1 gal. pasteurized whole milk
- A dairy thermometer
- 1/8 teaspoon fromage blanc culture
- 1 drop (0.1 ml.) vegetarian rennet
- 2 drops (0.2 ml.) calcium chloride
- Cheesecloth
- (See
- 1/2 cup Crème Fraîche, homemade or store-bought
- 3/4 to 1 tsp. fine sea salt
- Step 1: "Ripen" the milk. Pour milk into an 8- to 10-qt. heavy-bottomed pot and insert dairy thermometer. Heat milk over medium-high heat to 85°, stirring often to prevent scorching. Remove from heat, remove thermometer, and sprinkle culture as evenly as possible over milk; let rest 10 minutes, then gently stir 1 minute in one direction. Dilute rennet in 2 tbsp. cool water and pour in evenly all over the milk; stir the same way. Dilute calcium chloride in 2 tbsp. cool water; pour and stir as you did the culture and rennet. Stir once in opposite direction to stop movement of milk. Cover with cheesecloth; let rest overnight on counter.
- Step 2: Drain your curds. Ladle curds out of the pot into a large colander, lined with a double thickness of cheesecloth and set over a clean bucket. About 10 cups of whey will drain into the bucket; use for Homemade Ricotta (transfer whey to a bowl in the fridge whenever there's enough to collect). Drain curds 6 to 8 hours at room temperature, until the cheese resembles thick sour cream, scooping and turning with a soup spoon every hour or so in order to let the curds dry evenly.
- Step 3: Dress your curds. Turn fromage blanc into a large bowl and stir in Crème Fraîche and salt to taste. Cheese is now ready to eat. It keeps, chilled in an airtight container, up to 1 week.
- What you'll need:
- These supplies may seem a bit mad-scientist, but they're easy to use. Find them—unless otherwise noted—at the Beverage People (thebeveragepeople.com or 800/544-1867). One very important note: Be scrupulously clean when making cheese—scrub surfaces with antibacterial soap and boil utensils (ladle, spoons, etc.) for 20 minutes before using. You don't want bad bacteria messing with the good.
- Calcium chloride: A type of salt that helps firm up the curds.
- Cheesecloth: A loosely woven cloth for lining cheese molds or colanders. Find at most grocery stores.
- Ricotta mold: A small woven basket made of food-grade plastic; gives your ricotta a pretty shape.
- Fromage blanc culture: Gives cheese both flavor and texture; looks a lot like freeze-dried yeast used for baking.
- Dairy thermometer: Unlike a candy thermometer, measures low temperatures too. You can substitute an instant-read thermometer.
- Vegetarian rennet: A lab-created version of the natural enzymes that coagulate milk.
- Note: Nutritional analysis is per oz.

Addiction Is a Mental Illness. Treat It That Way.
By Scott Kellogg and Andrew Tatarsky
Many addicts have mental health problems, and all have complex reasons for using substances. In order to effectively address both the addiction and what drives it, providers require training and skills in psychotherapy. MORE

Ohh. If only I had access to a computer lab or computers for kids to use in my room. They would love this!
Students choose layouts, graphics, and write their own stories — then they can print it out. I would add some of these to my classroom library!
The kids back at my middle school program last year LOVED this. It worked beautifully.
If you can't do this digitally, it takes a bit of work, but you can show them how to make collage and copy-comics. Cut out word balloons (or find those word balloon stickers for photos) and print out a few pages of sprites or stock photos with people or creatures in different poses or expressions. Students can draw their own characters or backgrounds, too — or you could even have them use stick figures.
You can also photocopy comics with the word balloons whited out — I know quite a few ELL teachers who do this abroad. Then, students write in their own dialogue for what they think is going on.
It isn't ideal, and in some cases either limits creativity or makes choice too much work for what some students want to undertake. But it works with the right circumstances if computers aren't available.
Would you want black and white or color?
And more importantly, would you want it laid out in the grid like Tumblr had it, straight across horizontally, or straight down vertically?
Also, would anyone be interested in having it as a little printed booklet to keep in their desk, quarter-page size?
"For Teachers When They Feel Like Giving Up"
This whole thing was spurred by an absolutely beautiful post by PositivelyPersistentTeach about her first grade teacher, a supportive letter to the #education community when a lot of people were having hard times. So if you like this, you should definitely go read that, because it made me realize with renewed hope that working with kids is what I want to do.
(I don't know why, but not all of the pages seem to be showing up; if that keeps happening drop me a message in my ask and I'll see what I can do about it.)
I may make this a (small) copybook that can be purchased at MoCCA.
Jone Ekoh's other major comic project here
So here's the thing…when I made this I was so nervous about how it might be received that I put it on my personal/art blog, thinking that maybe the few teachers who watch me there might give it a nod or a no and then I would figure out what to do from there.
And then this happened.
So. Um. If people are interested, I'll be making this into a copy book, which I'll see if I can make available here — I might have to do it through the studio site for the sake of organization and things, I might have to charge like, a dollar, to cover printing costs and whatnot, sorry, sorry, I wish I could do it for free but I'm just making all my financial necessaries right now — and it was suggested that it be a poster, so if anyone wants that I can figure that out…
I'm a bit overwhelmed here.
Just so you know…I cried when I wrote it, partly from sheer relief. I cried a little when I reread it for editing. And I'm so glad that it touched other people in the way I hoped it might, because what I really wanted was to give other people who sometimes feel that way so many of us were feeling a little bit of hope, a little push back up. I'm really so glad that it did that for some people. Thank you.
We started doing character profiles. For every half an hour that they work on the week's challenge — this one being creating characters — during homework time, they get a piece of currency that lets them into a prize closet.
So far nearly all the kids who started have gone far beyond homework time and currency, and have started forming stories with other kids, and it's all tying into one great big universe, and that's what we hoped would happen. Bwahahaha. Subversive education.
I poked my head downstairs to ask an older student, who'd been all for the activity until we actually started it and decided it was "too much work," what kind of character I should make. She said snidely, "One that explains you." She thought she was insulting me. But I am becoming fairly immune to her insults in particular.
Instead I went upstairs and designed a character that "explain[ed] me." She's an alien from a planet where good words create a good atmosphere — literally, things like sunshine and fresh air and flowers — and negative words make nasty little clouds that block out the sun. She comes to earth and assumes the name Rainbow Jones. She is, of course, a superhero: some kind of ridiculous combination of Sailor Moon, Wonder Woman, Rainbow Brite, and Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl.
Apparently she caught on. Now three different students — and the other staff member, thanks boss! — have fashioned characters who are villains, including, to date, an evil cheerleader and her two sidekick prankster siblings. The collaboration came completely organically, after other attempts at producing a collaborative work failed. Everyone just wants to beat all the sunshine out of Rainbow Jones, though with affection.
Now they're talking about how cool it would be to play it out like a LARP, though they don't realize it's a LARP that they're talking about. So I've made the costume as dress-up-able as possible. On top of that, I'm putting together a little comic for them to add on to, whether that be in the form of writing, drawing, or inking (I am so excited, they're learning about art pen widths, pencil sharpness, and building figures out of shapes) that we hope to sell at the few cons I'm hitting this season, specifically to raise money for the program.
It's ridiculous. And I promise you all that the Adventures of Rainbow Jones will at some point be posted, whether here or on an offshoot blog, depending on how much we churn out.
Comic about something that was weighing heavily on my mind recently
This comic is brilliant.
At the end of the day, it's still a kid's show, folks.
Keep this in mind, everypony!
Yeah, this is something I wish artists/writer of adult pony material would realize.
Very important. I believe in freedom of speech and all that, but we gotta remember that the target market should be respected too.
Reblogging on the education end because it's something that those who are not in these circles — whose students use the internet and happen to like things with strong adult fanbases — might want to know exists.
This isn't meant to be alarmist. Not every member of every fandom is like this, but every fandom has a few.
For the second year in a row, I had the honour of creating the poster for the Jay Kennedy Memorial Scholarship.
Awarded by the National Cartoonists Society Foundation, the scholarship gives $5000 to a promising student cartoonist every year. The scholarship is open to any student in the US, Canada and Mexico, and you do not need to be an art student.
More information is available at the NCSF website, and I encourage all students with cartooning in their blood to apply.
You can see the poster I did for last year's scholarship.
EDIT: Here's a high-res printable PDF of this year's poster if you want to print it out for your school or comic shop.
I took cards back to the after school program with me from New York Comic Con advertising this scholarship. My students were too young for it, but they were amazed that something they loved to do in their spare time (that some of them were made fun of for on occasion) could earn them scholarship money.
Show this to your students. You never know who might secretly be making comics about your class in the backs of their notebooks during study period. And even if they're not in the right age group to earn a scholarship, it will give a whole new validation (and maybe help their motivation) to a worthwhile hobby.

S is one of my middle schoolers. He has a learning disorder that, among other things, seems to inhibit his handwriting. He can manage a few words here and there, but for sentences it seems he just trails off, possibly because these are drafts we're working on. His recall, however, is amazing, and his creativity endless.
Initially, it was hard to tell what was the average uncertainty of creating something new and which inconsistencies were something I could help him with — he frequently forgot the villain's name, for example, and if he forgot to number his pages and I didn't catch it, it might be a toss-up in the beginning as to whether we'd be able to piece the drafts back together. I know nothing about these students when I start working with them, have no access to IEPs or the teachers that work with them every day, and aside from asking what's difficult for them I'm never quite sure how to approach the issue (which, one student showed by letting me read to him for twenty minutes, is not always the way to go either).
S was straightforward — he told me that the hand-writing component might be difficult. I suggested he draw right from the beginning for the drafts. He was also not particularly confident in his skills as an artist. Confidence was a weakness for him in general, and so, to some degree, was trying something he felt he might not be good in, or that required "too much work." But it was soon very apparent that storytelling wasn't. Every week he has new episodes to recount for me, with details he constructs on the spot.
These aren't fleeting. They're recalled week after week, in sequence, and now he's put together a whole season in his head.
With a little bit of nudging toward trying to at least make a sketch for himself, he gave a reluctant try. The issue was just getting it into a final copy that he could enjoy making and that others could read.
Enter toondo. After one session walking through the tools together, he knows how to use it better than me. Now, between final pages, he stops and exclaims that he's going to draft the next page, grabs a piece of paper, and pencils four at a time. He declared last week that he's going to talk to the principal about leaving copies of each issue in the library for students to read so that he can become famous.
It's just a great example of what students can create when they have the right tools. (And when this is turned into a Saturday morning cartoon, you'd better believe I'll be ready with these drafts and a felt-tipped pen for his signature.)
And the idea of the online comic generator? Saw it on tumblr. This is a good thing for education.
Tomorrow I'm asking my students if they mind my posting their comic scripts. Because they are just too awesome at any level the students are at, and I am so proud of and excited about their work.

Do you remember the first time you saw a woman wearing skinny leg jeans? I know I do. I remember wondering, What is she thinking?!?! I never thought the trend would last and I couldn't imagine how any woman with hips could pull off the look. Well, I was wrong on both assumptions, and I am glad to admit so.
As one of the sexiest jean styles, the skinny leg jean is a slim, fitted silhouette from top to bottom. They are typically worn snug fitting and are made of at least 2% lycra or elastane for stretch.
They can be worn stacked or cropped. They can be tucked into boots, paired with heels or flats. They have become a staple in many women's closets, and because the skinny leg jean is so sexy they are going to be staying there for a while to come.
The main question that has been asked about skinny leg jeans is, Do I have to be skinny to wear them. And, the answer is that anyone can wear themwith caution. Does it help to be skinny? Yes. Is it required? No.
In fact, even plus sized women can wear skinny jeans. If you are a true apple shape, then your arms and legs are thin. Skinny jeans are the perfect way to show off those trim legs and pull the attention away from your midsection. Just find a mid-rise pair that offers reinforcement in the waist and match them with a longer top or vest, and you will be set to show off those skinny legs.
So, can you wear skinny jeans? Yes, but if you are plus sized or basically any woman with a hint of a curve or butt, then look for balance.
The nature of skinny jeans, and their close cousins the denim leggings and jeggings, are that they can be worn as leggingstucked into boots with longer, flowy tops. And of course, when worn in the flattering color black, skinny jeans can virtually make your legs disappear under those boots.
Check out this article on black skinny jeans for advice on wearing this ultra flattering skinny jean style.
Skinny jeans are easiest to wear tucked into boots or with heels or both. Pairing skinny jeans with flats is harder but can be done if you have a top that disguises potential saddle bags or a larger bottom.
Of course, you can always try a wider leg opening skinny jean. All skinnies are not made equallysome have 8 openings and some 14 or larger, try them all and find which flatter you most.
Still having trouble looking good in skinny jeans? Maybe you should give Straight leg jeans a try. They are the ever-flattering, ever-trendy merge between skinny and boot cut jeans.

It looks like a lot of Hoosiers want gun permits and that is keeping the Indiana State Police more than busy when it comes to background checks.
The Indiana State Police Department is responsible for issuing licenses to carry a handgun and the department is required to issue or deny the request within 60 days from the time an application is submitted.
Efforts to meet the time frame requirement have not been met due to a significant rise in the number of requests.
Police attribute the increase in requests to the number of shootings across the country, coupled with national news stories debating more restrictive gun laws. Historically, applications received for a license to carry a handgun averaged around 5,200 per month, but increased dramatically toward the end of 2012.
January of 2013 resulted in more than 23,000 application requests being submitted to the state police. The level of demand has marginally decreased in the months that followed but there is a substantial backlog in applications, pushing processing time to more than 110 days. To eliminate the backlog, Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter ordered a thorough evaluation of the procedures involved to issue a license to carry a handgun. And that means that the processes will be streamlined and additional personnel have will be added to process some 45,000 pending applications.
These steps should eliminate the backlog within eight to ten weeks of July 1st.
During the seven months from December of 2012 through June of 2013, the state police received 91,940 applications for a license to carry a handgun.
For all of 2012 there were only 62,934 applications received and processed, which resulted in the issuance of 60,906 new handgun licenses. To decrease processing time of applications the state police encourage all applicants to submit their application and fingerprints electronically. While all applications are required to be electronically submitted there is an option to submit fingerprints that are either hand rolled or scanned onto paper print cards, or prints that are electronically recorded and immediately emailed to the Indiana State Police for verification and processing. Applications submitted with hand rolled or scanned finger prints take about two weeks longer to process than the electronically transferred fingerprints. Superintendent Carter and the Indiana State Police are dedicated to meeting the required time frame to issue or deny a license to carry a handgun. We deeply regret the inconvenience far too many Hoosiers have experienced with this process. Members of the state police are working diligently to resolve this backlog and provide Hoosiers with the level of service they have come to expect from the Indiana State Police. Factors that add to increased processing time: • Applications that are incomplete • Submission of hand rolled or scanned fingerprints instead of electronic fingerprints • Incomplete Criminal History information that has to be confirmed • Common names with Criminal History information that must to be verified Applications for License to Carry a Handgun received, by month, from December 2012 to June of 2013: • Dec 2012: 13,954 • Jan 2013: 23,079 • Feb 2013: 15,945 • Mar 2013: 12,204 • Apr 2013: 11,397 • May 2013: 8,848 • Jun 2013: *6,513 • Seven Month Total: 91,940 * June number not final, subject to change Issued Licenses to Carry a Handgun from 2009 to 2012 • 2009: 98,639 • 2010: 79,027 • 2011: 61,595 • 2012: 60,906 At the beginning of July 2013 there were 493,205 active licenses to carry a handgun, of which 392,520 were issued to men and 100,685 were issued to women. To see previous reports that reflect quarterly comparisons of active handgun licenses by county and gender of the license holder, please visit this site: http://www.in.gov/isp/2963.htm The state police remind media and the public that specific information about who possesses a license to carry a handgun is not a public record. The state police will not confirm or deny if a specific citizen possesses a license to carry a handgun.

I will check the manual but somewhere I recall limits can be set so the OTA doesn't hit the tripod especially near when pointing towards the zenith. I was using an 8 inch f/5 when the event occurred Frantically tried to stop the scope luckily the sono tube gave a little and allowed the scope through. Does anyone know or recommend limits?

Blue caused all of this shit and ruined both of their lives.
Right? The way she bullied tink and kept calling her green with an asshole tone was so over the top. Who the fuck judges a person based on their parents? Regina may have lived up to Cora's name but it didn't mean there was no possible way of preventing that to happen, which tink proved despite Regina chickening out. Every ep this blue bitch is in she just contradicts herself, breaks her own rules and acts all high and mighty, then NO ONE ever calls her out. Which is probably why she was so rude to tink since it was someone who finally stood up to her self righteous ass. If she really isn't evil this whole time then they need to have someone just call the bitch out on her shit, which I assume and hope will be tink when she's back in storybrooke. I hope she regains her powers and knocks the bitch out with a pixie punch in the face. I just checked her tag on tumblr and I was swimming in all the hateful posts
can't fucking stand the blue fairy. Only way her double standards will make sense is if the bitch was evil from day one.
oh you mean like klaroline? the night 3x11 aired with twitter/tumblr trends while you were still screaming fanon? lol. first you have an icon of the cheesiest scene in teen wolf and now you're getting lez boners at every female regina befriends. I thought we were above delusion
Yeah that was the most overrated opinion I've read about Candice. She only stood out with Paul and Joseph for me. Lol I hate this show, it's fun to watch it live on Skype with the girls tho, we added our friends from FF. You're missing outttt
Mandy and I keep discussing what are we going to do with our lives if the theory is wrong. It can't be wrong, it's too good to not be right.
is2g they need to stfu. Time Travel paradoxes is the last thing Plec needs to rip off.

Europe's largest ridesharing platform with 3.4 million registered users plans further expansion
2 November 2011 – Europe's largest ridesharing network, http://www.carpooling.com has announced plans to further expand internationally and has today appointed Markus Barnikel as Managing Director and CEO. Formerly the Global Director of Sales at Yahoo!, Barnikel has international experience in the online markets in the U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific regions. The three founders of carpooling.com, Michael Reinicke, Matthias Siedler and Stefan Weber, will continue in their current roles as members of the Board of Directors.
Carpooling.com currently operates in nine European countries and 7 languages.
With over two million unique users every month and access to more than 600,000 rides in 5000 cities and 45 countries, carpooling.com is the clear market leader in Europe. Rides on carpooling.com can be booked on a computer, through social networks (Facebook app) or on a mobile (Android and iPhone apps).
"Millions of people in Europe are already using carpooling.com to travel in a way that is both environmentally friendly and affordable. The global demand for efficient, sustainable mobility solutions will continue to grow rapidly in coming years. My vision is that the way social networks have changed how people communicate, ridesharing will change the way people travel. As the No1 ridesharing platform, carpooling.com will lead the evolution of Green Transport" says Markus Barnikel about his plans for carpooling.com.
The number of users of carpooling.com has increased exponentially in recent years. The associated financial savings, environmental considerations, rising gas and transport costs and the chance to connect with new people are all factors driving the interest in carpooling.
Carpooling.com is financed by a transaction-based booking system as well as corporate partnerships – including, for example, the national Automotive Club (ADAC) in Germany, the railway company Deutsche Bahn or the bus company Eurolines. This allows cheap bus and train tickets to also be purchased on the carpooling.com platform, thus providing users with the most convenient and affordable travel options.
For large companies carpooling.com also offers white label solutions which allow their employees to carpool to work and therefore save money for travel expenses and reduce their carbon emissions. Workplace carpooling is considered an important building block for enterprises in developing their corporate social responsibility.
About carpooling.com:
Carpooling.com is the largest ride sharing network in Europe with 3.4 million registered users. Available in 7 languages and 9 local platforms (including: Germany, France, Poland, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Austria, Switzerland and Greece), http://www.carpooling.com is used by more than 2 million people every month. Thanks to carpooling.com, 24 million carpools have been formed; 630,000 tons of C02 and 750 million Euros have been saved by users; not counting thousands of friendships created (including more than 10 marriages!).

What is ghee? Ghee is clarified butter that is traditionally prepared from cow's milk. But to speed up the process, you can make ghee with unsalted butter. This butter is melted over a medium flame. In some time, froth will form and the oil will turn pale yellow. Keep it on a low flame till the oil turns golden. Filter it and the ghee solidifies. Ghee does not need refrigeration and it has a long shelf life.

Learn more about Olympus PEN E-PL2 12.3 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera with 3x Optical Zoom, 14-42mm Lens, 3.0" LCD, (Body with Lens Kit) Black:
The PEN E-PL2 continues the PEN family's legacy of a small, light and simple design, intuitive interface and DSLR image quality and expands your creative potential with new lens technology, Live Guide, new in-camera creative features, new auxiliary lenses, a new Close-Up Spotlight accessory (MAL-1) for macro photography and the new Olympus PENPAL Bluetooth accessory. And the newly designed E-PL2's ergonomic body makes capturing amazing still images and HD video more fun than ever before.
The E-PL2 comes with the new Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) ED m14-42mm f3.5/5.6 zoom lens. This new kit lens has a smooth, silent and quick inner focus mechanism to make it exceptionally fast and nearly silent when recording high-definition movie.
The PEN E-PL2's Live Guide system takes the guesswork out of great photography and videography by allowing you to preview effects at the touch of a button. Want more vivid or muted color in your shot? Want warmer or cooler color? Want a brighter or darker subject, or a sharper or softer background? Simply select Live Guide and turn the wheel on the back of the camera to slide through numerous photographic and videographic effects. Make adjustments and watch the LCD as the effects are made live – before the image is captured!
Nail the focus every portrait photo, every time. The new face detection AF employs an "Eye Detect AF" that adjusts focus automatically on the subject's eyes during portrait shooting.
The E-PL2 provides an overall excellent user experience with a large, easy-to-view 3.0-inch 460,000-dot high-resolution LCD monitor and a control dial.
Olympus appreciates that you may not have hours to spend retouching your images on the computer. The E-PL2 has improved Art Filters with selectable new Art Filter variations that allow users to customize each filter with different moods and effects and an Art Effect function to add various composition effects to the picture. Six Art Filters are incorporated including the new Dramatic Tone filter. With the E-PL2's Multiple Exposure you can shoot one shot, then another and combine them in real time, or capture both shots separately and combine them within the camera later. Choose from one of six background music tracks when playing an in-camera slideshow.
At the heart of the E-PL2 is a large-size image sensor that's the same sensor as the one inside the Olympus E-30 and E-620 Digital SLR models. The only difference between this sensor and what the pros use is that this big sensor is inside the much smaller body of the E-PL2. This high-performance 12.3-megapixel Live MOS image sensor (8 times larger than the average point-and-shoot camera sensor) delivers excellent dynamic range, accurate color fidelity, and state-of-the-art technology to reduce noise and capture fine image details in both highlight and shadow areas.
Recording HD movies with the E-PL2 is simple thanks to an easy-to-reach one-touch record button on the back of the camera body. If you're about to snap a photo and you realize a video would capture the spirit of the scene even better, simply press the record button and instantly you're capturing videos! Easily toggle back and forth between capturing stills and video by using your index finger to press the shutter button or your thumb to press the red record button. Having the ability to shoot still images and videos opens up a world of imaging possibilities.
Olympus has five new accessories to help you further expand what you can do with PEN cameras. Three new affordable and compact conversion lenses – Fisheye, Wide Angle and Macro – help you create fun and interesting photos with ease. The MAL-1 macro arm light helps you illuminate your subject during macro shooting or high-definition movie shooting. And the PENPAL Bluetooth® accessory makes it easier than ever to share your images.
Customer Reviews of Olympus PEN E-PL2 12.3 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera with 3x Optical Zoom, 14-42mm Lens, 3.0" LCD, (Body with Lens Kit) Black
Worth for money9/7/2012
I asked Olympus if I could review this camera. I had written reviews for them before. To preface the review I will mention that I own several of the Olympus EP2 cameras and the EPL1 camera. While the EPL series cameras don't come with the accessory finder, VF-2, I consider it the reason to buy this camera and this family of cameras. More on that in a second. I gave this camera five stars but you should be clear that all ratings are contextual. It's not a better camera than a Nikon D3 or a Canon 1dsmk3 but it is a wonderful and very capable camera (with a lens). I consider it a camera because I want to be able to use the 1.4 megapixel finder. Reasons not to buy one: 1. You shoot sports and need super fast autofocus and a very fast frame rate. 2. You rarely see daylight and want a camera that shoots noise free from 3200 ISO up. Nope, this one is not your camera. Reasons to buy one: 1. The files right out of the camera (as jpegs) are very nice. Rich and accurate color and nice balance of sharpness and contrast. 2. It's a very stealthy package that flies under the radar, masquerading as a point and shoot but fully capable of great results. No one will guess that you're a serious photographer. 3. With adapters there is a very wide range of lenses from other manufacturers that work well with the camera. If you want to try a Nikon or Leica lens for some street shooting this would be the camera to try it with.

Fed Policy Failures Leave $10.8 Trillion Under the Mattress
Despite billions in bond-buying "quantitative easing" and near-zero interest rates courtesy of recent Fed policy, Americans have stashed $1.8 trillion in low-yield accounts since the QE program started in 2008.
It's a failed stimulative policy that has left a shocking $10.8 trillion on the sidelines. But when it comes to investing in stocks in particular, the news gets even worse.
This trend is truly ominous…
Janet Yellen Sticks to the Script (Here's What It Means for Investors)
Janet Yellen made her debut before Congress Tuesday as the new head of the Fed...
And just like they did for her predecessors, the markets hung on every single word.
Except in this case, nobody (and I mean nobody) expected any major fireworks. What they were looking for instead was a confirmation that it would be "business as usual."To continue reading, please click here...
What the Fed Taper Means for Markets and Your Money
I didn't think it would happen, but Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke up and did "it" a few minutes ago.
He announced the "Fed taper" - the Fed will cut its bond buying by $10 billion a month (to $75 billion) beginning in January.
I think there are a few points to consider about Bernanke's move. I want talk briefly about those, and then highlight what this news of a Fed taper means for your money.To continue reading, please click here...
- Janet Yellen's Testimony Didn't Intend to Reveal This Profit Opportunity When Janet Yellen testified before the Senate last week, she inadvertently let slip a major clue as to where the real money will be made over the next year or so. And we're not talking about the record stock market highs, either. Knowing how to interpret this single phrase is the key to unlocking a $2.5 trillion market. Here's what Janet Yellen said...
Deflation Is Coming (and It's Not What You Think)
Be careful out there.
The stock market rally that started in March 2009... The one that's taken us out of the Great Recession and to new highs... The rally that's driving sentiment indicators of people who benefit from rising financial assets directly, peripherally, or because they hope all boats rise with the market...
The rally has never been loved.
The thing is, equity markets don't need love to go twice as high from here, or three times as high in the next 20 years. If they get what else they need, they'll keep going higher.
We could be on the verge of a generational bull market. That's if deficit-plagued, interconnected global sovereigns deleverage and, at the same time, re-capitalize middle and rising classes by making "recourse-sound" capital available and simultaneously reconstituting entirely the notion of taxation.
Too bad the likelihood of that happening is somewhere between slim and none.
That's one reason why I'm an increasingly reluctant bull.
But there's another reason too.
And it has to do with deflation...
- How the Fed QE Taper Will Affect Foreign Markets Hints from the U.S. Federal Reserve this week that the quantitative easing taper is near ruffled feathers on Wall Street last week - but the idea of less Fed stimulus has caused much more turmoil in certain overseas markets. Here are the places getting hit the hardest. Read more... Read More...
- Brace Yourself: This Is What the Fed's QE Has Done for Our Economy Along with the Fed's easy money policies came bright promises of an economic recovery. Glancing at some recent headlines, you might even think the Fed succeeded... but why not take a deeper look into the mainstream media numbers and decide for yourself?…Read More...
FOMC Meeting: Look to Statement for QE Clues
Don't expect a definitive answer from this week's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on when the Fed will begin tapering its massive quantitative easing program.
Instead, the focus will be on the FOMC's statement, which will be scoured for clues about when scaling back QE3 could begin.
"We do not expect any modifications to the asset purchase pace or forward guidance at this meeting, so markets are likely to hang on every word change in the statement," Michael Hanson, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research, said in a research report.
This month's FOMC meeting is the last before September, the month the markets have been expecting the Fed to announce "the taper."
Brian Gardner, senior vice president of Washington Research at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, said the economic outlook will be key to finding taper clues.
"We do not expect any changes in policy (either for large-scale asset purchases or for Fed funds rates) but the commentary on the state of the economy could be significant," Gardner said in a research note. "As Fed officials have recently reinforced their intent to look at the outlook for the labor market and the economy, any change in the Fed's description of the economy could provide a better idea of when the Fed might taper asset purchases."
But, Gardner added, "Our guess is that any change in language will be nuanced and keep the markets guessing about when the Fed will taper."
He said Friday's jobs report may ultimately be as significant as the FOMC statement in terms of gauging when tapering would take place.

Your Best Strategy for Playing This QE Rally
Even as stocks and bonds continue to digest the concept of rising rates and the end of quantitative easing, there are still some great opportunities to land some big gains before any real trouble hits the markets.
QE may be fading away but that doesn't mean you can't profit... Read More...
Why We Won't See the End of QE for a Very Long Time
When U.S Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke strongly hinted at a press conference last week that the end of QE was on the horizon, the markets went into a tailspin.
The more than $2.5 trillion that the Fed's bond-buying program - known as quantitative easing, or QE - has pumped into the financial system is credited with fueling the current bull market.
But while you can't blame investors for getting nervous at the thought of the end of QE, there's really nothing to worry about.
In fact, the Fed's policy-setting FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) is now caught up in a trap of its own making - something known as a "liquidity trap." It happens when easy money policies like the Fed's zero interest rates and QE still fail to get people and businesses to spend money.
The trap is that you can't reverse the policy without discouraging spending even further, threatening to push the economy into recession (and spooking the markets, as we saw last week), while continuing it will remain ineffective.
"The biggest fear of the Federal Reserve has been the deflationary pressures that have continued to depress the domestic economy," Street Talk Live radio host Lance Roberts wrote in a recent column. "Despite the trillions of dollars of interventions by the Federal Reserve the only real accomplishment has been keeping the economy from slipping back into an outright recession."

Why the Fed's QE Policy is Bullish for Oil Prices
Most investors have followed what the Fed's QE policy has done to gold, but few realize its impact on oil prices.
Recently, I talked about how crude was beginning to occupy a position as a store of market value ("Why Oil Is Becoming the New 'Gold Standard," May 20, 2013). The development has been a direct consequence of the flight from holding gold.
That flight may be tapering and a new floor established for the next major spike by the metal.
The problem is there is no agreement on which direction that move will be...
These days, a sudden improvement in gold prices may only extend as far as hedge funds and institutional investors covering shorts.
Nonetheless, there is an interesting parallel developing between the plight of gold and crude oil prices.To continue reading, please click here…
What to Do Now as the End of QE Nears
If investors needed a reminder that global stock market rallies have been goosed by the Fed's lose monetary measures, they got it.
On Wednesday, U.S. equities went on roller-coaster ride.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, up 155 points before FOMC Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Fed could soon begin to tap the brakes, ended the day down 80.41, or off by 0.5%,.
The uncertainty of when the Fed would begin to wind down its $85 billion-a-month in asset purchases sent investors to the sidelines in a hurry.
"This is a very sensitive market and particularity sensitive to any notion that tapering will come too soon," Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial in New York told Reuters.
"No one wants to be selling if the data reaches the point when the Fed begins to specifically talk about tapering. The market doesn't wait for the Fed to move. It will move before. That's how it operates," Krosby continued.
Of course, we knew QE couldn't really last forever. So what should investors do?..

The New Crisis Warning Just Issued to the Federal Reserve
Before the housing market crash, economists warned that record low-interest and mortgage rates were fueling a housing bubble.
Unfortunately, those fears were both overlooked and underestimated.
Now, an advisory council to the U.S. Federal Reserve is warning the Fed that its record $85 billon-a-month stimulus and ultra-low interest rates are fueling new bubbles in student loans and farmland.
"Recent growth in student-loan debt, to nearly $1 trillion, now exceeds credit-card outstandings and has parallels to the housing crisis," according to minutes of the council's Feb. 8 meeting.
In addition, "agricultural land prices are veering further from what makes sense," the council said. "Members believe the run-up in agriculture land prices is a bubble resulting from persistently low interest rates."

The Denver Nuggets arrived at the same conclusion regarding Johan Petro's contract situation as I did. They did not extend him a qualifying offer, a one year contract for just under $2.85 million, making him an unrestricted free agent as of July 1.
I do not know if the Nuggets are interested in bringing Petro back at a cheaper price, the only news regarding the status of his qualifying offer was a sentence long blip at the end of an article that I missed the fist time I read it, but I would think he would have to be a cheap option if Denver is looking for a cheap big man to fill the role of emergency big man that Petro did so well last season.
Hat tip to Nate at Pickaxe and Roll for actually reading the last sentence of the aforementioned article.

A Girl Named Maxwell for Lindsay Sloane
Lindsay Sloane is the latest celebrity parent to embrace what has been thought of as a "boy name" for her new daughter.
The actress — who is best known for her roles in TV's Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and Weeds, as well as movies including Bring It On and Horrible Bosses — welcomed her first child with her husband, talent agent Dar Rollins, on Jan. 19. Maxwell Lue Rollins is the new addition who the couple call their "sweet little girl."
The trend of boys' names "going girl" has been a frequently discussed topic here on NameCandy. We've seen Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane welcome Billie, Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell choose Charlie, and Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen go with Sam, to name a few. Maxwell is a little more surprising than some of the others, but when you think of its feminine counterparts Maxine and Maxie as well the nickname Max for girls, it doesn't sound that unusual.
Plus, it didn't seem like Lindsay was hoping for an super girly-girl, flowery, frilly baby name anyway. Soon after the actress found out she was having a girl, she was asked whether she'd be dressing her little one in pink all the time. She answered: "Eh, I don't think so. She'll embrace blue if need be!"
It seems Lindsay could have fallen for Maxwell when she scored her gig on HBO's Weeds because her character is Maxeen. The show also has another Max, a boy, so it's a popular name on the set. Maxwell, which is a common surname, has never been on the Social Security Administration's popular names list as a female name but for a male name it has actually been at its most popular for the last two decades. It hasn't cracked the Top-100 names just yet, but it's currently No. 134 and seems to be holding steady in that range.
Other celebrities who gave the name Maxwell in recent years are Lance Armstrong and then The Bachelorette's Trista and Ryan Sutter — in both cases it was used for boys. In pop culture, we think of Maxwell Smart from TV's Get Smart, the Beatles song "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and of course the smooth as silk sounding R&B singer Maxwell. In the 2009 movie Orphan, there was a little girl named Max.
As for baby Maxwell Rollins' middle name — Lue — it's a different take on the traditional Lou. (Soon-to-be exes Heidi Klum and Seal's youngest daughter is Lou Sulola Samuel and Keri Russell just welcomed Willa Lou Deary.) And Lou (Lue and Lu), a name that fell of the charts completely in the early 1970s, seems to be getting more play as a middle name. It makes us think of Lou in a similar way to how we think of Lynn, which lost popularity as a first name but, starting in the 1960s and '70s, was widely used as a middle name. Plus, Lue paired with Maxwell gives the name a feminine touch.
What are you thoughts of "male names" being embraced for girls? Are there any that you really love? Any that you really dislike? And what do you think of Maxwell Lue? Let's talk about it below.
More on androgynous names...
* In Search of Truly Androgynous Baby Names
* Where Have All the Boys' Names Gone?
* Charles, And Other Boy's Names on Girls
There are so many perfect names for girls from frilly to plain. I don't see why people have to poach from the boys list.
I always lived Ryan and Griffin for girls.
Funnythat Lue sounds feminine, bc as a first name, Lou is all boy!
I disagree that Lue gives the name a "feminine touch", because to me, that is fully androgynous. Maxwell on the other hand sounds terrible for a girl.
I have no problem with boy's names being used on girls or girl's names on boys (though that hardly ever happens) but Maxwell is pretty bad.
I know a lot of people who are using Lou as a middle name for girls--Zoe Lou, Billie Lou. In college I knew a Bonnie Lou and Bobbie Lou who were roommates! They had their names painted on the wall because it connected them. I actually can't think of a single guy named Lou my age or younger that I know.
Why do people get so upset by parents giving girls a boy name? I love the creativity and boldness of choosing Maxwell for a girl and think Max as a nickname is really cute. Cute name; love it!
Two reasons
1. It inspires every person who meets the poor child to do a double take as she introduces herself.
2. It makes the name feel less usable for boys.
I'm super sad when I hear one of my favorite boy names, Elliot, being used on girls and when I see the little girl I just get mad. Sad but true.
I think that when you use a masculine first name for a girl, you really should use a feminine middle name. I seriously dislike Maxwell for a girl, but if they could have at least tempered it with a girly middle name, it would have helped just a bit. Like Soleil Moon Frye's daughter is Jagger Joseph Blue...way too masculine!
The amount of gender-normativity going on on this site makes me imagine that everyone here has baby rooms in nothing but pink and blue. Relax! She didn't name her kid "Kindle", I think we're okay. (Oh god, I'm just imagining Apple [Martin] picking on Kindle on the playground.)
I mean granted, when I hear Max for a girl I think Dark Angel but that's because I'm a child of the 80s/90s with some weird television tastes. There are some other good girl Max-es I'm not thinking of.
But yeah. Maxy. Maxine. Max. It's fine as a girl name. I think it's pretty cute, really.
I honestly think saying that the mere fact of a girl possessing a name makes it less usable for boys is misogynist. What you're saying is that "boys can't have GIRLY names/things/etc". As someone who had to deal with multitudes of 5 year old boys in a day camp screaming and throwing tantrums if they were handed purple-handled scissors and holding up the class, I cannot deal with people maintaining a gender binary that severe. All it does is cause anxiety from the time kids are literally toddlers.
Meh. I'm pretty against hardlined gender roles, get my kids both "boy" and "girl" toys (mostly just gender neutral educational stuff, really), let my son paint his nails. Both boy and girl like to play sports, take martial arts, play with dolls, and play dress up, including princess dress up. They're both going to learn carpentry and cooking. But I still am not a big fan of the trend of poaching traditionally boy names for girls. For one thing, I grew up with a boy's name myself and it was a pain in the A. Constantly getting assigned to the boy's locker room by my schools, for example, or put in the wrong dorm hall. People always thinking it was funny to mock my name, or try to hook me up with a same-named boy no matter how much we hated each other. For another thing, I was close to a couple of guys who were named Morgan and Jordan before the names became almost overwhelmingly female, and it was a giant pain in the A for them as well, and got to where they hated their names. It shouldn't be that way--I suppose ideally all names would fall into the same genderless pool--but it's reality, even in my extremely liberal area. When you look at history, names that used to be predominantly used for males but crossed over into common usage for females generally do not survive as useful male names. Shirley, Hillary, Marion, for example--the boy's name pool shrinks as this attrition continues. A boy named Shirley would be tormented, and that sucks and it does say something about sexism in society but it's still a fact. I gave my son a rarely-used but classically male name,I hope he will always love the name his mother gave him, and so I admit I would hate for it to turn into the next trendy girl name... although I would also hate for it to turn into a trendy name, period, because I'm not a fan of top 100 names, either.
Anyway, Lou/Lue/Lu is neutral IMO and cute, but I'm not big on Maxwell for a girl. Although in some ways it's better than Maxine, just because I prefer the sound of it.
Totally agree with Shadelit. I'm a feminist and I try to treat all kids equally, whatever their gender. But I wouldn't name my son Kelly, or Kim or Shannon just to prove a point. That's not fair to my son. I want him to define his masculinity, not feel like he has to defend it.
I agree with the poster that thinks it's sexist for boys to not want anything GIRLY, but I'm not going to sacrifice my son to that.
I also think it's sexist to name your daughter a boy's name to make her sound strong or powerful or fiesty. Maxine isn't strong and fiesty enough?
A newborn baby is an addition to a family. I would rather pick a name from the combination of my loved ones.

FLOODING: Fire service rescues people from caravan park
6:30am Tuesday 11th February 2014 in News
MORE residents were rescued from Thameside Court Caravan Park in Bablockhythe, near Northmoor, yesterday as flood waters rose.
The fire service has helped more than 20 people get out of the site since the water started rising at the weekend.
It is the second time in five weeks occupants of the site have been affected by floods.
Fire crews used a floating sledge and a rescue boat to get people to safety.
Couple Peggy, 81, and Leonard Rixon, 84, who have lived in the park for 14 years, had to leave yesterday to stay with their grandaughter in Northmoor.
They had to leave their home in the 2007 floods but yesterday said they had left through their own choice.
Mrs Rixon said: "In 2007, when the emergency services rushed us out, we had to leave. This time people have just left on their own."
One resident of the park, who wanted to remain anonymous, has decided to stay put.
He said: "We're going to stick it out. After 2007 they rebuilt our home higher up and with better flooring, so the water won't get inside this time."
He added: "My wife and I have lived here since 1980. We're older now and don't want to be messed about. It upsets you."

He paused in the open doorway and removed his sunglasses, tucking them in his shirt pocket as he looked around. The place was crowded, mostly with men, but there were a few women as well. Almost all the tables were filled. The sound of chatter was punctuated with the noise of utensils clanking as they all ate. The coffeepot hissed and the grill sizzled in the kitchen.
Something else permeated the air, but James couldn't quite place it. Grease, sweat and food all mixed together to dull his preternatural sense of smell. Shrugging it off, he stepped inside and let the door swing shut behind him.
Several men glanced up from their meals and stared, but most ignored him, too intent on finishing their food and getting back on the road. To a trucker, time was money.
James scanned the room and sauntered over to a vacant booth in the far corner. He slid onto the vinyl bench seat and leaned back, trying to fit his large body comfortably into the space.
From his position, he had an unobstructed view of the room and the front door. There was also a window right beside him, which would allow for a quick escape if necessary.
The diner was surprisingly clean but dull. The paint on the walls was chipped, the linoleum on the floor scarred. And the seat cushions had seen better days. But the table gleamed and the condiment bottles were full. He plucked the menu from behind the shiny napkin dispenser and scanned it.
At the far end of the room, which James assumed led to the kitchen, a swinging door popped open. A woman backed into the room carrying a tray laden with plates. She looked like any waitress anywhere—harried and overworked. He went back to studying the menu, but his gaze was drawn again and again to the woman.
Giving up on the menu, he tossed it down on the table and studied her. She appeared to be in her early thirties, but it was hard to tell. She had the look of someone who'd had a hard life. Her hair had been pulled back into a tight bun, giving her face a pinched appearance.
As he watched, she competently served up the food from her tray, distributing plates to various tables, while nimbly sidestepping the roving hands of one of the truckers. His eyes narrowed as a burly driver patted her butt as she passed by. She jerked, but didn't stop. Head ducked down, she kept going.
Anger began to burn low in his gut. It was none of his business, he told himself. He couldn't afford to get involved. Not with paranormal bounty hunters searching for him and his daughter. The last thing he wanted to do was bring attention to himself and, through him, to his pack.
Still, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
She was dressed in a tacky pink polyester uniform that hung on her slender frame. It was hard to tell her shape. It was mostly hidden by the bulky dress, which was zipped up tight to her neck and fell all the way to her knees. Her legs were bare from her knees to her ankles and she wore white socks inside her battered canvas sneakers.
The woman was continually in motion, pouring coffee and serving food. Even though she worked without stopping, there was almost a fragile air about her, as if she'd been ill recently.
He wasn't sure she'd even seen him, but as soon as her tray was empty, she tucked it under her arm and hurried over to his table. "What can I get you?" She pulled an order pad and pen out of her pocket.
James froze in place. All his senses went on full alert. Her scent was ever so faint, almost as if she were masking it somehow. But it was there. "You're a werewolf," he whispered. He was so shocked he spoke before he could check his words.
The woman paled and swayed. His hand shot out to steady her, but she quickly pulled away, taking a step backward. "What? What did you say?" Her voice grew steadier with each word she spoke.
The soft tones of her voice skimmed over James like a caress. He was struck with the urge to draw her close to him, lay his head against her stomach and just listen to her talk. But fright still lingered in her dark chocolate-brown eyes in spite of her bravado. Her fingers clenched around the pen she was holding and she took another half-step backward.

Both car and truck drivers alike are debating whether a customized monster-style truck involved in a deadly accident should have on the road in the first place.
Eric Crutchfield was behind the wheel early Thursday morning when the silver F-250 struck and killed 23-year-old Kasey McKenzie in the parking lot of a strip club.
Witnesses say McKenzie was crossing the lot on foot and had just stepped in front of Crutchfield's parking space when he put the truck in gear. Although the two right tires rolled over the woman's body, 27-year-old Crutchfield told police he never saw -- or felt -- a thing.
The unusual accident has sparked arguments over whether heavily customized "lifted" trucks belong on the road.
Debate raged in internet chat rooms about drivers' visibility and handling issues.
In Texas, there are few rules restricting customized vehicles. According to the Department of Public Safety, the maximum height of any vehicle and its load may be no more than 14 feet.
However, laws about headlamps, tail lamps, and rear reflectors are specific:
"Every head lamp upon every motor vehicle shall be located at a height of not more than 54 inches nor less than 24 inches to be measured from the center of such lamp to the level ground upon which the vehicle stands when such vehicle is without a load," according to the DPS Vehicle Inspection FAQ section.
On Crutchfield's Ford, the factory headlights were higher than a 6-foot (70-inch) man.
There were after-market headlights also on the truck, about 25 inches lower. A source close to the investigation told FOX 4's James Rose that the truck was not street-legal in Texas.
The truck had a license plate from Oklahoma, where the laws regarding vehicle height and headlight placement are the same as Texas.
On Friday, Crutchfield remained in jail in lieu of $100,000 bond on a charge of intoxication manslaughter.

Both Dierdorf and Gumbel speak a puffed-up language of false import.
For example, at the top of the game, Gumbel welcomed viewers to the telecast by saying, "To say that it is an excited crowd here at Reliant Stadium is to put it mildly."
They speak in that kind of portentous and pretentious manner a lot. To be fair, they aren't the only ones in sports broadcast booths who do it. But I'm only reviewing them this week.
And I am not even going to explore how many times this duo missed a defensive player tipping a pass Sunday. Once Dierdorf said Flacco's pass hit a defensive lineman in the chest when, in fact, he blocked it with his arm. He corrected himself only when he saw the replay.
In the interest of fairness to CBS Sports, the pre-game show did an excellent job of covering the Ravens' injury situation coming into the game. In fact, the crew's overall reporting and discussion of injuries throughout the league was outstanding, including the discussion featuring the show's medical consultant, Dr. Neal ElAttrache.
Shannon Sharpe was especially strong, with his Ravens interviews ranging from John Harbaugh to Ed Reed and Ray Lewis.
Sharpe's insights were terrific, too.
In delivering his pre-game prediction, he said, "This game is tailor-made for Joe Flacco to step up to the next level."
He then picked the Texans.
Good call, Shannon.

It sounded a bit far fetched, and perhaps it was.
Iran's former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denied the Holocaust and threatened to wipe Israel off the map. But his successor, President Hassan Rouhani, considered a relative moderate by contrast, has taken a somewhat softer tone. So, when Rouhani allegedly tweeted the following, it was quickly became news:
Several news organizations, including CBS, MSNBC and The Washington Post, picked up the story.
However, it's unclear whether the tweet really came from Rouhani. The account above appears at first blush to be legitimate, with some 30,000 followers (although many of them apparently have begun following in the last several hours). Also, there's another account for "Dr. Hassan Rouhani" that also looks and feels legit.
In any case, the Fars News Agency (FNA), considered Iran's leading independent news agency, quoted presidential adviser Mohammad Reza Sadeq throwing cold water on the authenticity of the message:
"President Hassan Rouhani has no tweeter account," Sadeq said, explaining that "proponents and fans of Mr. Rouhani were active in the cyberspace during the recent presidential election in Iran and used many web pages with titles similar or close to Mr. Rouhani ('s name) to run their activities."
Sadeq added that "any official news on him (the president) is released by the presidential office" and that "only the news released through this conduit is official."

Does self compassion help self esteem?
There is no doubt in my mind that self esteem helps you suceed in life and will no doubt bring more happiness. But achieving slef esteem it seems is the one of the biggest issues of our society. I have been across situations where self esteem has been confused with self importance -- are they the same?--
For someone to have self esteem, they must esteem their true unique, and flawed self -- not a puffed up delusion of who they think they are -- their ego fueled by self importance.
Real self esteem can only come from self knowledge and personal development. But what about self compasison? does that help? is that a step towards getting the self esteem we all need in life? Does having self compassion mean pretending or trying to be who we are not to feel better about ourselves? Isn;t that the same thing as having no idea who we truly are?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jan 18 2013: I suppose compassion can be more or less healthy. It's important in life to always do the best you can, to not shrink from challenges, to take some risks. If everything you do isn't 100% successful, then you can still say well I tried, those were hard situations.
On the other hand, just giving up without a fight would be taking it too easy on yourself, in this case your compassion for self wouldn't be healthy.

There are a few folks out there that can remember when Grandma's phone was on the wall, and you cranked the handle to get the operator's attention. You spoke into a mouthpiece shaped like a small megaphone to get the operator on the line. The operator plugged a cord into the right slot, and ~ voila ~ you were talking to the next town! In my mind's eye, I can see the hands doing these tasks: cranking, pulling and plugging cords.
I read an article in USA Today where they interviewed people about their favorite apps. They were given a large variety of answers, and they did not find any one app that got a lot of votes. Some apps got a couple. One of the apps that was listed is an app I use quite often, and I have to say, I am very fond of.
It's that time of year again when my phone company expects me to come in and upgrade to a new phone and a new plan. The problem is I don't want a smartphone. I guess what I really want is a dumb one. All I want to do is make calls and send the occasional text. Do they even make un-smartphones any longer?

By MELISSA DiPANE 6 News Anchor/Reporter
OAK RIDGE (WATE) -- Golfers are using the 18th hole of the Centennial Golf Course in Oak Ridge as their personal potty. The problem is, it's right in the Schubert's backyard.
The Schuberts live on Centennial Golf Course. It's an ideal location for a family who loves to golf.
"We bought this property two-and-a-half years ago when our children expressed an interest in taking their golf playing to the next level," says homeowner Delisa Schubert.
The family says they got more than they bargained for after moving in and seeing the urinating golfers. "I was shocked, appalled, couldn't believe it was happening in my presence," Schubert says.
The course is owned by the city and managed by Billy Casper Golf Management Inc.
Schubert complained to course supervisors about the incidents. They put up signs prohibiting urination on the greens. But it hasn't stopped.
Schubert called police. They suggested she videotape it. In a year, she's collected a dozen discs with more than 40 golfers relieving themselves.
6 News took her video to Oak Ridge's City Manager for comment. "It's something we don't condone on city property. We'll have to take corrective action," says Jim O'Connor, Oak Ridge city manager.
O'Connor says the city could go as far as issuing a fine if golfers are caught.
Schubert says she just wants relief. "We moved here because we thought it would be a family friendly environment. It's been very discouraging for us as a family," Schubert says.
Centennial was built in 1996 and is a public golf course.
The city manager says Oak Ridge will make immediate changes and possibly add portable toilets.
