Several companies have worked so hard to stay in the market and this can be attributed drastic changes in technology. One of the changes that have notably changed film and photography industry is the introduction and the use of 4K resolution. This technology refers to a device having horizontal resolution on the order of 4000 pixels.
Initially this the 4K technology was only used in television set but this has since changed with cameras also embracing it and trying to outdo one another so as to stand out and have a command of the larger market share.
One of the brands that has embraced this technology and took it to another level is the Black Design production camera 4K. This camera is one of the best cameras that can be used for ultra HD 4K production. Due to its highly advanced technology the camera comes packed nicely in one compact build with its powerful super 35mm image sensor being its key selling point. It is also accompanied with EF compatible lens mount which are flexible. This camera has a built in touch screen which enables you to have an easy to manage the camera settings. Its audio system is one of its kinds as it captures audio into the ProRes video files. This will turn help you save time that you would have used in post production audio synching. Black Design is tough enough given that its body is made of aluminum and its compact nature also acts as an added advantage too.
Another camera that has come closer to Black Design is the Panasonic GH4.This camera can easily handle giving the best 4K images and videos. When looking for a camera that can promise on image resolution, processing power and video format then this is the camera to go for. It is good for both professional and amateur photographers since it's easy to use. This camera is able to produce the best quality of raw images because of its 16.05 megapixel MOS sensor which combines with Venus Engine 4 CPU processor to see perfection is met. These are among the best 4k video camera.
Other brands like Leica D-LUX, Sony Alpha a7s Compact, Gopro HERO4 and Canon EOS 1d-c 4K have embraced the 4K resolution technology. This can also be attributed to the fact they want to keep at pace with other brands and to see that the costumers has a variety to choose from. This is encouraging and we are yet to see more companies get in the industry.

Lets not overpay an average DB.......Clean house build in the draft.
Lets not overpay an average DB.......Clean house build in the draft.
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!
Rather take a look at Sam Shields. Though he's RFA.
Here's the problem...Smith was a 2nd round pick and probably our best CB...but guess what? He's average at best and a disappointment considering his college credentials, draft status, and expectations. All of our CBs have terrible ball skills (Carroll is the worst...it's a joke that he was actually a WR at one point in college). I hope we sign Smith to something reasonable just b/c we suck at CB, but if not, buh-bye. The Fins sucked w/ him and wouldn't be much worse without him. I'd much rather spend the money on Long than Smith.
IF the Fins can sign Smith for decent numbers -- say 6.5 or so per year, maybe 4 years -- then they just helped their draft, imo. In this fashion: They took care of one potential hole before the draft.
On the flip side, letting Smith walk means another huge hole to fill, position wise.
I think Smith is an average CB overall, BUT he does bring good things to the table, one of them being his ability in the redzone. His height gives him an advantage in the RZ, and the Fins D was pretty good in the redzone this year. Coincidence? Not completely.
Ive personally never.characterized a guy who cant locate a ball, let alone make a play on it, as " good" or "solid".... looks like i need to get an updated dictionary.
Just sign him.

At the Death House Door
"At the Death House Door" is a personal look at the death penalty in the state of Texas. The story is told by Pastor Carroll Pickett, who served 15 years as the death house chaplain to the infamous "Walls" prison unit in Huntsville. During Pickett's remarkable career journey, he presided over 95 executions, including the world's first lethal injection. After each execution, Pickett recorded an audiotape account of his trip to the death chamber.The film also focuses on the story of Carlos De Luna, a convict Pickett counseled and whose execution troubled Pickett more than any other. He firmly believed De Luna was innocent, and the film tracks the investigative efforts of a team of Chicago Tribune reporters who have turned up evidence that strongly suggests he was.

This is all that I could be certain of
The Vikings signed Culpepper to a 10-year contract on May 9, 2003. The Associated Press reports the deal to be worth $102 million. After being traded to the Dolphins in March of 2006, his deal was restructured. Though terms of the entire restructured deal were not released, Culpepper received a $7 million signing bonus and $1 million base salary for 2006, according to the Miami Herald. He could earn another $1.35 million if he is the NFL Most Valuable Player, Offensive Player of the Year, plays at least 75 percent of the offensive plays, leads Miami to the Super Bowl title and is named Super Bowl MVP, according to an NFLPA source. So he's got that going for him, which is nice.
Anyone know what 2007 and 2008 look like?

That gang was back together again for another episode of the hottest draft podcast to hit the net!
Tonight show dealt mostly with the defensive end class where the guys broke down the games of Vinny Curry and why or why not he's as good as the preseason hype.
Then the question was asked and answered as to what exactly is wrong with Quinton Coples game?
We talk about Matt Barkley returning to be the King of So Cal is a good decision by him, and how this will affect other QB's like Tannehill, RGIII, and Landry Jones.
Finally we took some twitter questions on if Josh Chapman can slide outside to DE, and who was the better prospect Courtney Upshaw or Brandon Jenkins. My answer may surprise you!

In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution (5 entries)
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Freedom and Grace in Tennessee
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design (5 entries)
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Series: Understanding Evolution: the Evolutionary Origins of Irreducible Complexity (6 entries)
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment, we examine evidence that proteins in irreducibly complex (IC) systems can form and refine new interactions through gradual mechanisms.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Teaching the Whole Controversy
Part of our goal at BioLogos is to demonstrate that we in the Christian community can and must think deeply, but also broadly, if we want to do justice to the complexity of biological life, but also to the complexity of our lives of faith.
Teaching Science in Tennessee
Last week, Tennessee legislators approved a bill on science education (the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act) that has stoked controversy around the country.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 4
Now that we have covered significant ground with respect to what various classes of pseudogenes are and how they arise, we are now able to properly evaluate antievolutionary arguments put forward in an attempt to discredit these lines of evidence for evolution.
Series: He Who Has Ears (4 entries)
Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.
Science is Empowering But Hard to Define
It is easy to be confused about what science is and what scientists do. In part, this is because scientists do so many different things in so many different ways.
Speciation and Incomplete Lineage Sorting
One consequence of speciation being a population event is that populations have genetic diversity – not all members of the population are genetically identical. For any particular gene, then, a population may have several slightly different forms present within it. These different forms are called alleles.
On Deciphering the Signature
The interesting thing about this is that Steve Meyer and I are probably really in almost the same exact position when it comes to our core beliefs. We differ primarily in one regard.

iirc, about £1400.
iirc, about £1400.
Here's a better pic. Not sure why Revolver don't use their website to better advantage. How hard is it to include a few better product shots?
Also Creek have produced their first TT and very smart it is. Price £2,000.
On the other side of the coin:
A three-box cdp from dCS Scarlatti - £33,000.
iDynaudio? Dynaudio MC15 iPod dock - 50 watt active speaker system - â¬1,000.
Adam OSS mentalist loudspeaker - â¬250,000. Each speaker has separate enclosures for ribbon supertweeter, tweeters and midrange units then another for lower mid and a huge one for a pair of monstrous 18in bass drivers. Each speaker is driven by 3,500 watts. Speaker side-graders look no further.
bet those active-dyns are nice
have to say the Creek and Revolver decks look fantastic too - good to see two British decks looking so well finished and competitively priced!
That Creek deck looks rather tasty.
I nearly cried when I heard the scarlatti it was so good.

"Cucumber is the 5th Horseman of the Apocalypse."
I've had an idea about how some of us could experience this out of reach stuff (on a smaller scale to 33k though). For example a pool of 10 wammers x £300 = £3,000. Buy the SF Extremas here on ebay for around this budget and get to have them in your setup for a few weeks. How else could most of us experience 8k reference speakers like this and other hi-end gear later on? Most of us have our own transport so transferring the gear shouldn't be too difficult. After about three months, sell the Extremas (for a profit maybe because we know how to list things better) and buy something else to share round the pool.
Very nice idea. But you'd really have to spell it out clearly to everyone, as things like that can get messy.
Electron luv...

Posted in Dr. Ying Competition
Nikhil Patel is a ninth grade student at Oviedo High School in Seminole County and is a member of the Beta Club and Mu Alpha Theta. A science researcher since sixth grade, Nikhil is now a dual enrollment student at Seminole State College while also conducting research at the Synthetic Reality Lab at the University of Central Florida.
Nikhil was selected as one of the top 30 middle school science researchers in the country and competed in the Broadcom Masters competition in Washington, D.C. Nikhil is also a competitive fencer with the Stocatta Fencing Academy in Longwood, Fla.
Nikhil's research project for the Ying Competition focuses on how to identify early indicators of cognitive impairment, for instance, the ability to predict the likelihood a person is going to develop Alzheimer's. His research has earned him first place at the Florida State Science and Engineering Fair.
Studies have shown that brain exercises can significantly delay the onset of cognitive decline if it is caught early. However, there is no inexpensive, non-intrusive and simple test to accomplish that. Nikhil's study looks at developing a simple software test that can be administered in a primary care setting at a cost of $25 or less to start measuring changes in an individual's cognitive performance.
His current research shows that it is possible to identify with about 85-90 percent accuracy the likelihood a subject has early stage cognitive impairment based on taking a simple five-minute test. The research will be extended to measure cognitive impairment due to post-traumatic stress disorder, head injuries and other temporary situations such as alcohol- and medication-based impairment.

i don't agree. There is no work culture, management just talks, too much politics. Good people are working quietly and horrible people just talk, gossip and chat. At the end the cheaters stay.
July 12, 2013
I found it a very dishonest environment to work in . No ethics, no manner ... doesn't matter how hard you work , some employees are manager's favourite and get the full support . A very unfair place to work .

ICBA Statement on Basel II Agreement
Washington, D.C. (July 20, 2007)—Karen Thomas, executive vice president and director of government relations for the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), issued the following statement following the announcement that the federal banking agencies reached an agreement on implementation of the Basel II capital accords:
"While ICBA is disappointed that the agencies are eliminating the 10 percent aggregate trip wire safeguard, we are pleased they will retain the individual bank capital floors beyond the three-year transition period until any material deficiencies in the new framework identified by a planned study are addressed. We are concerned that the agencies' agreement leaves open the possibility of divergent treatment and action by individual agencies if they disagree on findings of material deficiency.
"ICBA has expressed its concern about the impact of Basel II on the domestic competitive landscape, and we look forward to reviewing the proposed rule regarding a standardized option for non-core banks under Basel II to replace the earlier Basel IA option."

Paul Crutcher
Dear friends of Paul Crutcher,
My beloved Paul passed into Heaven on April 8, 2014 after fierce battle with lung cancer. By the time we knew what had been going on in his body, the cancer was widespread. To treat it conventionally was out of the question. We prayed and asked for a miracle. The miracle turned out to be that Paul was lifted up out of his pain into a realm of sweetness and light. He left peacefully at home surrounded by beloved friends who sang to him of going home.
Paul loved all of life, especially his friends and everyone who valued his incredible expertise at fixing anything mechanical. He was called the "Magician" by many because he managed to repair what others had thought doomed. Such was his gift. All of his customers were special to Paul. Many became dear and cherished friends.
Paul's joy was being in the mountains and working at home in his shop. He loved Mother Earth, all her critters and the changing seasons. His time here was short, but it had a profound effect on all who entered into his presence. He was a valuable friend and never refused a call for help.
Paul has left a legacy of unconditional love and the importance of forgiveness with his passing. Let us not forget to say "I love you" to our dear ones daily and be grateful for the now moments with them.
There will be a celebration of his life in the near future. Until then, look into the sky and give thanks for the gift that was Paul.
His devoted wife,
Margaret Kathleen "Maggie" Green
Chester resident and former businesswoman Margaret K. "Maggie" Green passed from this life peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, Tuesday morning, April 1, 2014 at her residence in Chester, following a courageous battle with cancer.
She was born Nov. 3, 1946 in Iatan, Mo. to Francis and Esther (Brown) Willey. Maggie, as she affectionately became known, was raised in Weston, Mo. and attended high school at West Platte High before moving west and graduating from Hoover High School in Fresno, Calif. as a member of the "Class of 1964."
Maggie married Harry Chew while residing in Missouri and to this union a son and two daughters were born. She tragically lost Harry in an auto accident in 1977.
Maggie went on to work as a social worker for Fresno County following her high school graduation, later as a teacher's aide before managing a medical office in Oakhurst, Calif. While attending her 20th high school reunion in Weston, Maggie became reacquainted with former schoolmate Frank "Brack" Green, an encounter that later led to the couple's marriage.
Maggie moved to the Northeastern California community of Chester in 1988 where she opened a Pizza Factory franchise which she operated for some 15 years. She was an active part of her community where she was a former member of the Chester/Lake Almanor Chamber of Commerce. She became a vital member of Sierra Hospice where she served as a patient volunteer, and was instrumental in the resurrection of The Friends of Hospice. She served as the first office manager of the organization as well as serving as a member of the board of directors for a number of years.
Maggie's passion in life was that of her family, she followed her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren in all of their endeavors and proudly stood beside them. She was an accomplished quilter who was a longtime member of the Quilt Guild of Chester, was a veracious reader and member of the Chester Book Club and after taking a class at Lassen College, enjoyed the art of woodworking. She will be remembered by many in the community for her daily walks with her dear companion Oscar at her side. Later in life she enjoyed traveling the world with her husband and best friend Brack.
In passing Maggie leaves her loving husband, F. "Brack" Green, of Chester; son, Jeffry Chew, and his wife, Meredith, of Janesville; daughters, Gayl Fording, of Mountain View, Calif., Angela Crowley, of Clovis, Calif., and Belinda Farris and her husband Davey, of Dearborn, Mo.; the jewels of her later life, her nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; sisters, Francis Marie Antle, of Lawrence, Kansas, Sue Moppin, of Weston, and Mary Myers, of Atchison, Kansas; and let us not forget "Brother Oscar."
She was preceded in death by a brother, Ronnie, and sister, Patty.
A Celebration of Maggie's Life is being planned from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 3, 2014 at her most favorite spot on earth — her home at 311 Feather River Drive, Chester. An opportunity to express your condolences to the family along with signing the memorial guest register is available online at fehrmanmortuary.com. The family asks any remembrances in Maggie's memory be made to Sierra Hospice, c/o Fehrman Mortuary and Crematory, P.O. Box 803 Greenville, CA 95947.

Abner Chaney "Joe" Knadler
Abner Chaney "Joe" Knadler was born March 28, 1922 in San Jose, Calif. and died March 27, 2014 in Yuma, Ariz.
A 60-year master of ceremony for Indian Valley parades, Joe grew up on a small farm in Shady Cove, Ore. until 1936, when his family moved back to San Jose. He worked a newspaper route until joining the U.S. Navy in 1940, his senior year of high school. He served during World War II in the American, Asiatic Pacific and European-African-Middle Eastern campaigns on the USS Nashville, a light cruiser; the USS Iowa, a battleship; and the ATR 40, a seagoing tug. After the war he trained new sailors while in the reserves and resumed active duty in 1950 during the Korean War, when he served stateside on the sub tender USS Fulton.
Joe came to Plumas County as an electrician, first settling in Quincy, where he worked on the Plumas County Fairgrounds with Tulsa Scott, who announced the Fourth of July Parade in Taylorsville before Joe assumed the honors.
He moved to Greenville in the mid 1950s and lived there until May 2013, when he weighed anchor on a land yacht, first to Nevada then to Arizona for a warm winter.
Joe enjoyed a challenging job order, fishing, hunting, gold mining, good works in the community and good times on barstools with his many friends.
His affiliations and acts of volunteerism over the decades were many, including past president of the Indian Valley Riding and Roping Club and active involvement in 4-H while his children were growing up. He was also a member of the Beer Drinking Berry Picking Better Outdoor Recreation Club of the Second Supervisorial District and E Clampus Vitus, Las Plumas Del Oro Chapter. For more than 55 years, he was a member of the Free and Accepted Masons, first in Quincy, then in Greenville, including York Rite and Shriners. He was also a 50 plus-year member of the American Legion Post 568 and Veterans of Foreign Wars. Joe had recently received recognition for being a 65-year member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Abner and Hazel (Marquis) Knadler; brothers, Max and Chester; sisters, Helen, Mary and Irene; and by his previous wife, Cynthia (Wilbur) Knadler.
He is survived by his wife, Alicia (Higbee) Knadler, of Reno; sister, Hazel Smith, of Placerville; sons, Michael (LeeAnne) Knadler, of Yuma, Ariz., and Larry (Janice) Knadler, of Chico; daughter, Maryann (Norm) DeMontigny, of Susanville; step-daughter, Jennifer Kellogg (Bill), of Yuba City; step-sons Richard Hathaway (Maryann), of Yuba City, Robert (Iliana) Palm, of San Pedro, and Michael Palm, of Oroville; grandchildren, Kurt and Tyler DeMontigny, Joe Knadler, Madeline and Katherine Kellogg, Peyton and Mackenna Hathaway and Robert and Andrea Palm; and many beloved cousins, nieces and nephews.
He was also survived by shipmate Stanley Freemyers, who was like a son to him, and many friends in Plumas County. During the last hours, his faithful beagle Snuffy Little Princess was by his side, where he could pat her butt and she could guard his rest.
Any remembrances in his name can be made to the Shriner's Hospitals for Children in care of Sincerity Lodge No. 132, PO Box 537, Greenville, CA 95947; the Pacific Battleship Center, for the USS Iowa Museum, 250 S. Harbor Blvd., San Pedro, CA 90731 or to a favorite local charity.
Memorial services will be held at noon, June 7 at the Greenville Cemetery.
Bennie Francis Rapacon
Sept. 16, 1948 to April 5, 2014
Bennie Francis Rapacon, 64, died Saturday, April 5, 2014 at his home unexpectedly. He was raised in Vallejo, Calif. before moving to Lassen County in 1994. Bennie enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving in Vietnam. He was an Air Borne Ranger and proud recipient of the Purple Heart Medal of Honor.
He retired from Sierra Army Depot in 2012 and was enjoying his retirement. He had many achievements in his life from being a 5th-Degree Black Belt in Kajukenbo to golfing PRO-AM with Chi Chi Rodrigues. He enjoyed bowling, golfing, boating, fishing, watching sporting events and going to the movies. Bennie was a special man and will be missed by many.
Survivors include his wife, Regina; brother, Christopher, and his wife, Rita; sister, Leslie Brundige; sons, Bennie Francis II and his wife, Michelle, and Richard; daughters, Talayna Bautista, and her husband, Tino, Amanda and Misty; 11 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, April 18 at the Herlong Post Chapel.
Carl Edward Abram Parks
Carl was born Nov. 15, 1919 in Georgetown, Texas to Lee Roy and Molly Mae Parks. He was 94 when he passed away April 2, 2014.
Carl was preceded by brothers, Lee and Sammy, and sisters, Lillian, Allene and Ruth.
He was a proud member of the "Greatest Generation," joining the Marine Corps, Second Marine Division in World War II, fighting across the South Pacific at such places as the Mariana Islands of Saipan and Tinian, Tarawa and Okinawa, eventually reaching Hiroshima during the occupation of the main island of Japan as the war ended.
After WWII, Carl met and married Daisy Smith (Herold) and began a family. He became a member of the Victor McLaglen Synchronized Light Horse Brigade and started work at MGM Studios. Carl and Daisy soon left the hustle and bustle of Southern California for a simpler life where they raised three children, Edward, Carolyn and Kathleen, at a ranch near Montgomery Creek. During this time, Carl wore many hats as he and Daisy tended their 160-acre ranch, tried raising cattle, logging, harvesting and selling Christmas trees and, eventually, turning to real estate sales.
In 1962, Carl moved to Bieber. It was here he eventually departed ways with Daisy, met and married Marian Bonsall (Fisher) in 1974 and they continued his Big Valley real estate business. Marian's four children, Jim, Joe, Jean and Joyce, became a part of his growing, extended family.
Carl was a 50 plus-year member of Lions International, a 48-year member of the Fort Crook Lodge of Masons where he was presented the distinguished Hiram Award and raised to the degree of Master Mason, as well as a 25-year member of Shriners International where he sponsored many children to the Shriners Hospitals for Children. He was a former president of many organizations including the Farm Bureau, Sportsman's Club of Northern California, Chamber of Commerce and museum for Bieber and Lassen County, Big Valley Lions Club, Inter-counties Chamber of Commerce of Northern California — representing 16 counties — and many others too numerous to mention. He also took time out of his busy schedule to accept a governor's appointment to serve a term as county supervisor for Lassen County.
Carl traveled extensively, loved hunting and fishing and spending time with his family. His extended family included seven children, 15 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. Carl's desire and inclination to serve others has now been passed on and will continue to influence this large family.
Carl will be remembered for his legacy of never-ending service to his country, state, region, county, community, friends and family. He wanted to "get things done" and provided us all a great example to follow. Carl will be sorely missed.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Shriners Hospitals for Children. Carl's Celebration of Life will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 19 at the Masonic Lodge in Fall River Mills. A graveside military service will immediately follow at the Nubieber Cemetery, finishing with a noon luncheon reception at the Bieber Catholic Church.

BROCKWAY - The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader soccer team advanced to the District 9 Class A championship with a 1-0 victory over the DuBois Central Lady Cardinals in a match played at Frank Varischetti Field in Brockway.
The Lady Crusaders will take on the Karns City Lady Gremlins Thursday evening at 6 p.m. at the DuBois Area High School field for the District 9 title.
In last night's match, the winning, and only, goal of the game came with 24:24 left in the first half, when Morgan Onink of the Lady Crusaders fired a shot from about 25 yards which went over the outstretched arms of DCC keeper Kylee Schaffer.
"That was a good, old-fashioned defensive slugfest," said ECCHS coach Don Fabiano.
The Lady Crusader defense played very well in the contest.
"Michelle Imbrogno played a super game on the outside. She stepped up at the right time and played excellent defense," said Fabiano.
"We're lucky to have players like Megan Dornisch and the other skill players we have," noted the coach.
In the first half of the contest, the Lady Crusaders had three shots on goal while DCC had four. Each keeper, Karly Carnovale for Elk Catholic and Kylee Schaffer for DCC, came up with three saves in the first half.
Both teams did have opportunities in the first half, but some of the shots were over the goal or wide. DuBois Central had a shot carom off the post with 13:41 left.
"Both teams had opportunities, with both goalies making good saves," said Fabiano.
The second half saw the Lady Crusaders have three shots on goal, while the Lady Cardinals had four.
With 7:03 left in the contest, Elk Catholic was called for a handball just out of the box, which resulted in an indirect kick. The shot sailed through the uprights of the football goalposts.
With around six minutes to go, DuBois Central had another shot go just wide left. Elk Catholic had a corner kick, which missed its mark, with 2:21 remaining.
"I think everybody got tired in the second half and we got away from our game plan in the second 40 minutes. But the important thing now is that we keep advancing," said Fabiano.
The coach also noted that this is the fourth time in the last five years that the Lady Crusaders have reached the championship game. Elk lost to Karns City last year by a 4-2 score.

Another jewel in the ruff I discovered when browsing around the Mozilla add-ons site was SmarterFox. What does this add-on to the browser do for you? It helps make browsing the web just that much faster…and smarter!
Where are the features? Here are some of the thinks I liked about this awesome add-on to your browser:
- Search by selecting/highlighting text and then clicking on the popup bubble
- Google results automatically show up in the Awesomebar/URL bar as you type (faster than going to google.com)
- Easily switch between search engines during a search with a single click
- Convert text URLs into clickable links
- Automatically copy on select / paste on middle click / paste on right click (NOT enabled by default)
- Visit bookmarks quickly with keyboard shortcuts using qLauncher
- Adds "related articles" side-pane to Wikipedia
There is definitely a lot of browser tweaking to be loved here. It is that type of extension that does many things well, instead of focusing on doing one thing really well. So if you would like to kill several birds with on stone – this is the pick me up your browser has been looking for.
Want to give it a shot? Pickup SmarterFox on the Mozilla add-ons site and let me know what you think. Has it helped you browse the Web any faster or smarter?

Pictures of restaurant bills showing rich and famous people to be terrible tippers are often hoaxes, but here's one left by Warren Sapp that we know for sure is real, because Sapp himself admitted to stiffing the waitress.
Things got started when Darren Rovell posted a photo of the receipt, prompting Sapp to bite back with the help of a devastating hashtag:
@darrenrovell Darren u wasn't there so #ShooFly
— Warren Sapp (@WarrenSapp) July 2, 2014
Since nobody ever wants Darren Rovell to be right about anything, a legion of tip truthers took to Twitter to defend Sapp. Maybe he just left cash on the table! Or maybe not:
@Alex_Iwanowicz She kept calling us boys so the tip Fit!
— Warren Sapp (@WarrenSapp) July 2, 2014
I suppose the degree to which Sapp should be judged a dickhead here is dependent on exactly how "boys" was wielded by the waitress. A chipper "What can I get you boys to drink?" isn't something anyone should get sensitive about, but a sneering "What do you want, boy?" might be worthy of getting stiffed. I guess we'll never know!
What we will always know, though, is that Warren Sapp still owns the greatest two-tweet sequence in history:
I have the best flight stories, here we go again
— Warren Sapp (@WarrenSapp) September 18, 2012
Ok I'm back! The flight attendants was about to do the safety video & it stopped, then they couldn't find the equipment to do it manually

porpoise wrote:Cittasanto wrote:porpoise wrote:The intention of the 3-fold rule is that we should not cause another life to be taken. In the example above it seems to me that both options result in another turkey being killed.
hI Porpoise,
please read what else I have said on the matter of that rule.
it is not a rule for lay people, and is layed down for mendicants for a reason
OK, so would these verses from the Dhammapada have more general application? Note the section about not causing another to kill.
129. All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.
130. All tremble at violence; life is dear to all. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.
This is an another example of how in some Suttas all are instructed not to kill, but for the sake of some reasoning, but in the Vinaya the act of killing for food not prepared for the monks specifically, so as to not offend the feelings of hosts during the alms rounds, or when in the company of supporters during various events to which a monk is invited it is OK to eat meat. Inconsistent and just a little suspicious to say the least. One has to ask the question: " Did Buddha teach non-violence in all things, or did he not?" Did he mean what he said, when he stated that "..acts of violence lead only to more violence or did he not?"
Another example of Buddha's reported position regarding non-violence, one most memorable to me, is found in The Simile of The Saw, where Buddha states that it is better to have one's limbs removed than to commit an act of violence in retribution.
"Monks, even if bandits were to carve you up savagely, limb by limb, with a two-handled saw, he among you who let his heart get angered even at that would not be doing my bidding. Even then you should train yourselves: 'Our minds will be unaffected and we will say no evil words. We will remain sympathetic, with a mind of good will, and with no inner hate. We will keep pervading these people with an awareness imbued with good will and, beginning with them, we will keep pervading the all-encompassing world with an awareness imbued with good will — abundant, expansive, immeasurable, free from hostility, free from ill will.' That's how you should train yourselves.
Then we must ask ourselves would Buddha approve of what goes on in the slaughter houses of the world?,when he spoke ? source: http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... .than.html
Still another seeming confusion can be found in a Jataka Tales story for children, where Buddha, in a previous life as a hare or rabbit came upon a mother tiger and her cubs. The mother was apparently injured according to one version I have heard, and because of loss of vigor could not feed her cubs. Understanding the plight of the tiger family this rabbit, through compassion and loving-kindness, donated his body in the ultimate sacrifice to provide the starving family with a meal. Now, does this mean that Buddha is advising us to cut off an arm, cook it and feed the starving masses? No! What it means (to me) is that the general principle being taught by Buddha is to treat others (all others) with compassion and loving-kindness, no matter what it takes if we have the resources that would be helpful to others in need of our services, and to never "intentionally"cause harm to other living creatures where and when we have a choice. Monks eating what is offered by village families out of the kindness and compassion of their hearts to monks does not constitute an intentional harmful act on the parts of the monk. However, should a monk realize that the family is cooking extra meat "just for him", then it is his obligation to politely explain that he is not allowed to do so and why.
This is the message that I take from these stories and my understanding of The Vinaya rule.
By logical reasoning, Lay persons must think along the same lines to avoid the consequences of their kamma ( intentional actions) when they make food choices before purchasing, understanding that what they choose to buy supports the actions of the supplier. Illegal Drug buyers are part of the causal chain of events, which in turn leads drug suppliers to kill each other to compete for illegal drug user business. Just so, meat buyers are a part of the causal chain which leads to butchery of living beings, and just so, vegetarian buyers are part of the causal chain which leads to mass planting and harvesting in agriculture. Question is: Which route causes "less suffering" and "least harm"? Ron

Integrated Biorefinery and Infrastructure Technologies Peer Review Webinars, February 1-3, 2011
January 25, 2011
The U.S Department of Energy (DOE)'s Biomass Program is hosting a series of Webinars associated with its biennial Peer Review of Integrated Biorefinery (IBR) technology and Biofuels Distribution Infrastructure and End Use (Infrastructure) projects. This year's meetings are available to provide interested stakeholders the opportunity to learn more about federally funded research, development, and deployment activities that are focused on bioenergy technologies.
During the meetings, project principal investigators (PIs) will discuss their projects' status, budgets, goals, accomplishments, challenges, and relevance to the Biomass Program, and answer questions from expert review panelists. External stakeholders will be able to hear the project presentations and participate in limited Q&A sessions. The results of Peer Review evaluations will form the basis for the overall Biomass Program Peer Review meeting, which will be held June 27–28, 2011 (see HERE) and cover a large majority of Program projects. Peer Review results are also used to generate future work plans and develop Annual Operating Plans, Multiyear Program Plans, and potentially redirect individual projects (see HERE for results from the Program's last two biennial reviews). Results of the Peer Review process will be publically available online.
Registering for the Webinar
The Biomass Program will host the proceedings of the IBR review using GoToWebinar from 8:00am–5:00pm on February 1–3, 2011, and the Infrastructure proceedings on February 3, 2011. Using the GoToWebinar software, participants can send in text-based questions, which, if not addressed through dialogue with expert reviewers, will be read aloud to the project presenter as time allows. Webinar registration will be broken into morning and afternoon sessions. Consult the review agendas to help determine which proceedings to participate in, available here: IBR and Infrastructure.

Hi guys.
I've been using Adobe Reader a lot lately. Now, when I am in any application that I need to scroll within (eg web browser) I find myself instinctively trying to use the handtool featured in Adobe Reader. Problem is the hand tool is not universal. And that's why I'm here. Why can't the handtool be available whenever left-clicking is not going to perform any other function?
Thanx 4 looking.

Clint Eastwood, the surprise guest at the 2012 Republican National Convention, walks on stage and begins addressing an empty chair, pretending President Obama is sitting in it. The speech is off-the-cuff, off-kilter, and a decidedly "huh" moment amid an otherwise cut-and-dry convention.
Wait for it ... wait for it … And nearly instantly #eastwooding is born on the Internet.
Within two hours, there were 78,272 tweets about the moment. Nineteen minutes after Eastwood started talking, the Twitter account @InvisibleObama was created (it still has 64,000 followers). Thousands of people tweeted out pictures of themselves pointing toward empty chairs. Halfway through the next day, the number of #Eastwooding tweets reached over 25,000. And this happened.
Sen. Marco Rubio spoke directly after Eastwood at the convention. Does anyone remember what he said? Had the evening been hijacked?
It was a part of the political show this election season: Watch a debate or a convention, and have your social media open and ready for the instant memes. Any gaffe would sure to erupt into Internet madness—and that was part of the fun. We watched for the substance, but also waited for the instant satire to emerge on the Web.
"For some, political memes represent an epic win for crowd-sourced democracy," Whitney Phillips, a Ph.D. Internet culture researcher (yup, that exists) writes at the Awl. "For others, they are a sign of the intellectual apocalypse!"
There's the rub: Memes are good for political discussion because they get people engaged, but they're bad for political discussion because they oversimplify and ridicule important issues.
But their importance shouldn't be understated as trivial. This was the year the social Web became a major facilitator of political messaging and get-out-the-vote. As Megan Garber at The Atlantic surmises, memes "both despite and because of their smallness, represent a significant shift in participatory politics."
Here's one reason why that shift is important: Whereas in previous eras, candidates needed to avoid being quoted out of context, in 2012 a greater concern was getting memed out of context. A good case-in-point: Obama's "You didn't build that" gaffe. Taken in context, the president was saying that business owners didn't build the infrastructure that allows their enterprises to function in the economy. Republicans took the line (and took the meme, which had already taken hold on social sites such as Reddit) to propagate the idea that Obama doesn't believe in individual success. Heck, they even created a whole convention based around it.
Likewise, Romney's "binders full of women" comment became a way for his opponents to underscore a "war on women." However, it seemed clear Romney intended the line to mean the opposite.
But other memes are more frivolous, not pushing any policy or idea. They aren't created to make a point; they exist to be irreverent. Like "Texts from Hillary", or McKayla Maroney's "not impressed" face. They're funny, but don't make too much of them.
Below, we share the most pervasive political memes of the year.

I would like to ask about American Optical Vintage versus New.
Which is a better lens to work with and holds it's value.
So basically I haven't seen the newer AO 12's up close, I have one of the older American Optical/Vintage AOWC12H lens with the Gold .( company stamp clear on lens ). Somehow we've managed to keep it free from damage like no pitting, no scratches, no corner breaks, and none of that over-all chipping.. ( I've seen quite a few that are in some bad shape.
Mine is not only Vintage but exceptional condition has provided excellent site/view when working (there are some don't use with ).and there's something that feels good about that Blue view.
We've basically baby'ed it since they don't make these Cool Blues (as far as I know ).
But it's these newer # 12's out there, I haven't gotten to check one out yet, but those of you who have could you tell me what's the difference and overall which is a better lens and why ?
