National treasure: Rediscovering Pinehurst No. 2
Matt Ginella reports on what led to the historic restoration of Pinehurst No. 2 by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw.masterpiece. Jack from time to time it's probably the most architecturally perfect golf course he's seen. People come to number two, to see number two. They come to wanna play number two. No matter where you go in the country, people who had never had the opportunity to play here were anxious to get here. It's a jewel. If there's a Saint Andrews to golf in America, most would say it's Pinehurst. Over 100 years old and host to multiple professional and amateur championships. This nation's old course, is number two. I think Ross's course probably started changing a little bit. When he died in 48. And I think it got a little bit more manicured, I think a lot of the areas were thinned out and pretty soon that golf course visually looked like any Southern club about anywhere. There were a lot of people that questioned where we had gone with the golf course . A lot of those distinctive sandy elements had been lost just slowly over time. What had happened really back in the 1970s is that, that was replaced with Bermuda grass ruff. And then for the US Opens , it that ruff just got narrower and narrower. After decades of age and layers of paint. It was time to consider going back to number two's original wood finish. The golf world has always respected that golf course . And if you don't have that, day in and day out, you cannot just be a place to just host the Open.images and new found confidence. But before they'd commit, Bill Corr and Ben Crenshaw needed more. If you're talking about under's taking this restoration prior to the Open Championships, where's the SGA come in on all this? I don't think they actually believed it at first. They took us going out on the golf course , and, and, and, Bill and Ben saying, well here's what we'd like to do on the first hole, are you okay withyou had better not mess this up. He said, because as this golf course goes, so goes this entire town. And he turned and walked away. We stripped out those 35 acres of, of grass and

Vin Crenshaw and Bill Core were called in to restore number two back to Donald Rossi's original vision. A task completed in 2011. In 2005 for the U.S Open it was very much from tree line to tree line green grass, and very little sand, very little wire grass. And as we went back and looked at historical photos, and thought about what Planters really is it's not a manicured golf course it's a natural golf course .

iTrack Solo provides the best solution for recording your instruments and vocals using an iPad. Featuring a Focusrite microphone input developed with over 25 years of professional audio experience and an input to record directly from electric and bass guitars, iTrack Solo is the perfect companion for any singer-songwriter wanting to take their demos to the next level.
The sound quality of the Focusrite input has been adapted many great musical artists around the world. iTrack Solo features a clean, low-noise, low-distortion preamp, which is also found in our flagship interface Liquid Saffire 56. iTrack Solo also provides phantom power for professional condenser microphones.
With a guitar input alongside the microphone input, you are free to record both vocals and your instrument simultaneously to separate tracks in your software*.
Unique halo signal indicators on the front panel of the iTrack Solo, also found on Scarlett 2i2, let you know that youve got a good volume for recording. Red means that your signal is clipping, and that you should reduce the gain. The halo will momentarily turn amber as the signal returns to a healthy level, at which point the halo will turn green again.
A large monitor dial provides a tactile control for the volume of your speakers and headphones, whilst a high quality headphone amp provides a clean yet loud signal to headphones connected to the front panel socket. The direct monitor switch routes audio directly from the inputs to both the headphone and speaker outputs. This allows you to hear the incoming signal with no latency, which can be distracting and affect your performance.
On the rear panel you will find phono outputs allowing you to connect iTrack Solo to a pair of powered speakers, or to your home Hi-Fi system. The speaker volume can then be controlled using the large dial on the front of iTrack Solo meaning everything you need is within reach.
The iPad is not capable of poering the iTrack interface so Focusrite include a USB style power cable so you can plug the interface in to a mains socket. If connected to a computer via USB, the USB lead will power the interface without needing to plug into a mains socket.
iTrack Solo will also work with Mac and PC allowing you to record with your desktop or laptop. Included in the package is Ableton Live Lite a powerful recording and sequencing software allowing you to create music, and Focusrites Scarlett Plug-In Suite, which provides effects essential to recording Reverb, Compression, Gate and EQ.
*Please note that at current, GarageBand for iOS will record two simultaneous inputs to a single stereo track which cannot be separated using iPad. The two separate signals can be separated by transferring your session to a Mac. Other apps are available which allow recording to two separate tracks simultaneously.

Release Date:
March 16, 2004
The folks at King Records love to repackage their catalog for sales through alternative venues such as truck stops and gas stations, where discs like Traditional Bluegrass Gospel are often found. This budget-priced 12-song anthology of the Stanley Brothers' late-'50s and early-'60s gospel recordings appears on King's Gusto imprint, but is actually a straight reissue of the 1999 King CD I'll Meet You in Church Sunday Morning. The track list overlaps a little with the Stanleys' 1961 gospel album, Old Country Church, which has also been reissued on CD (on the Hollywood budget label, yet another wing of the King/Starday empire). "Harbor of Love" is a remake of a song the Stanley Brothers first recorded for Mercury and, true to the album's title, many of the songs are chestnuts from the repertoires of Roy Acuff, Bill Monroe, the Carter Family, etc. Brief liner notes round out this adequate budget release.

Mel Brooks takes on Star Wars
For anyone who grew up in the age of Star Wars, they will probably agree with me when I say that this is Mel Brooks' best movie. A lot of people will disagree I am sure, and reference Blazing Saddles or History of the World, or any number of other films by the man. But for the sci-fi crowd, this is one of the finest parodies ever to grace the silver screen. I don't often say this, but I can easily recommend this as a must buy movie, sight unseen, for any Star Wars fan, and perhaps any fan of science fiction anywhere. A note - this is the collector's version of the DVD, with many new extras not present on the original DVD release. Also, unlike the original DVD release, this is in full anamorphic widescreen for those with widescreen HDTVs. Read More

To ensure orderly markets, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has a set of restrictions that it can implement when experiencing significant daily moves, either up or down. Many of these restrictions are executed when the market experiences a significant downturn, although there is one that is used in an upturn.
Commonly referred to as the downtick-uptick test, the index arbitrage test is a restriction used to reduce the volume of trades, given that large-volume trades magnify fluctuations and are potentially harmful to the exchange. Regardless of whether the market is up or down, this restriction is applied whenever there is a daily move of 170 points or more in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
The main purpose behind this rule (Rule 80A under the NYSE) was to reduce the number of program trades occurring during a trading session. This rule required that all sell trades for stocks within the S&P 500 during an up market be marked "sell-plus"; it also required all buy trades during a down market to be marked "buy-minus". By having all trades that may affect the market specially marked before execution, this rule halted the use of program trades, which are typically of a large volume. Rule 80A is also referred to as the "collar rule" or the "index arbitrage tick test" in addition to the uptick/downtick rule.
Starting in November of 2007, the NYSE eliminated Rule 80A, or the downtick-uptick rule, as part of Rule Filing SR-NYSE-2007-96.
The downtick-uptick rule is not to be confused with the uptick rule, which was a rule that required every short sale to be entered at a price higher than the previous tick. The uptick rule was eliminated by the Securities and Exchange Commission in July of 2007, but as of March 2009, legislation had been made in an attempt to have it reinstated.

The best and the brightest were out in abundance last week for Federal Computer Week's annual Federal 100 awards banquet. And few attendees left dry-eyed. The emotional evening was capped by a touching and heartfelt speech by Ed Meagher, deputy chief information officer at the Department of Veterans Affairs, who received an Eagle award.
The Federal 100 awards go to people who have made a difference in government technology in the past year. But the Eagle award is given to two Federal 100 recipients one from government and one from industry who made extraordinary contributions. Anne Altman, managing director of IBM Federal, received the Eagle award for industry.
An independent panel of judges selected the Eagle award winners. The judges were Joanne Connelly, president of ConnellyWorks; Renny DiPentima, president and chief executive officer of SRA International; Jim Flyzik, a partner at Guerra, Kiviat, Flyzik and Associates; Olga Grkavac, an executive vice president of the Information Technology Association of America; Steve Kelman, a professor of public management at Harvard University; Deidre Lee, director of procurement and acquisition policy at the Defense Department; and Dendy Young, chairman and CEO of GTSI.
The panel chose Meagher, a Vietnam War veteran, because of his extraordinary work helping wounded veterans returning from the Middle East. Meagher said he wanted to ensure that veterans today, unlike Vietnam vets, never have to hide their heads.
Meagher has worked with many vets including some who have had multiple amputations and he has helped create Vet IT, a program that lets soldiers volunteer at the VA to gain work experience while they continue their rehabilitation. "I've never been prouder to be a geek," Meagher said.
Meanwhile, Altman was selected for making organizational changes at IBM Federal that benefit government agencies and systems integrators. The company made huge investments in 2004, creating a federal solution center, competency centers and a comprehensive laboratory and test bed. She also appointed a chief technology officer to ensure that IBM research addresses the government's needs.
Altman credited the "IBM-ers," who she said have made the company an important player in the federal market.

KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) - When Keisha Cook wants to get her students' attention, she sings for them.
It's not just any ordinary song either. She grabs their attention with a little opera.
"Yelling gets old," she said, with a smile.
Cook, who grew up in Bedford, is living out her lifelong dream in Kokomo. She gets to combine her three passions - violin, opera and teaching.
Cook is a teacher at Wallace School of Integrated Arts.
Her primary job is to teach the elementary school students how to play violin. But she sneaks little opera lessons in when she can.
Principal Charley Hinkle said she's a great asset at the school. It's like having an artist in residence all of the time.
"She's a singer, a violinist and a teacher," he told the Kokomo Tribune (http://bit.ly/1lVcwMD ). "She's a versatile music artist. That's a good combination for us."
Cook started playing violin when she was 9 years old, primarily because she has tiny hands.
She said she wanted to play some instrument, any instrument. She didn't care. She'd been waiting for years to be old enough to play.
Her teacher asked her questions like whether her parents were big or small, tall or short. When the teacher found out she came from a family of short people, Cook got a violin.
It's not an easy instrument to play. Her parents endured years of squeaking and whining on the instrument, she said, with a laugh.
"Making a rich, pleasant sound on the instrument is difficult," she said. "It takes hours, days, years of playing. You have to find that sweet spot on the string."
Her students are finding that out now. Every day, kids are asking her why they still sound so bad. They can play songs, she said. Those songs just don't sound very good yet.

for Environment, Culture and Sustainable Development
The Mediterranean NGO Federation
A Network of Networks
MIO-ECSDE facilitates four other networks of major Mediterranean stakeholders who play a key role in addressing the region's environmental and sustainable development challenges
In the spotlight
The Mediterranean is prominent in the Final Report of the UN Decade of ESD (2005-2014)
Who we are
We are a non-profit Federation of over 128 Mediterranean Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) for Environment and Sustainable Development
What we do
We act as a technical and political platform for the intervention of NGOs in the Mediterranean scene
Our mission
Our mission is to protect the Natural Environment and Cultural Heritage and promote Sustainable Development in a peaceful Mediterranean
Our story
For more than twenty years we have been catalyzing synergies, joining forces & building bridges in the Euro-Mediterranean area
Act4Drin publication on the natural wealth and legacy of the Drin River Basin launched on the occasion of the World Rivers DayLocated in the south–western Balkans and connecting five riparian countries (Albania, Greece, FYR of Macedonia, Kosovo and Montenegro), the Drin River Basin is without a doubt one of the most important freshwater biodiversity hotspots in Europe. For the first time ever a multilingual (five languages) publication that highlights the exceptional wealth of freshwater biodiversity of the Drin River Basin has been produced via a collective effort of the region's civil society. Entitled "The natural wealth and legacy of the Drin River Basin: inspiring our collective actions", it aims at raising public awareness on the value of our common natural wealth and ultimately triggering individual or collective actions towards safeguarding the basin's biodiversity and its invaluable ecosystem services. In the words of Thomais Vlachogianni, MIO-ECSDE Programme Officer & Act4Drin Project Manager, "Whether we consciously realize it or not, freshwater ecosystems together with every bit of biodiversity they support and the ecosystem services they provide, are intimately interwoven with our 'harmonious' existence and welfare. Therefore, the protection of our natural common heritage cannot be left only to governments, treaties, top-down regulations and other similar approaches. We, as individuals can make the real difference by simply caring and respecting the right of all beings to live well on this planet." The publication was developed by MIO-ECSDE (Mediterranean Information Office for Environment, Culture and Sustainable Development – a Federation of Mediterranean environmental NGOs) within the framework of the CEPF-funded Act4Drin project (www.act4drin.net), implemented in collaboration with BIOSFERA, EDEN, GREENHOME, MES and KAWKA PRODUCTION. The project seeks to raise public awareness through a wide range of actions, enhance knowledge and empower NGOs to protect... read more
MIO-ECSDE summer surveys on marine litter in Thesprotia, GreeceWithin the framework of the IPA Adriatic funded DeFishGear project, MIO-ECSDE carried out the third set of beach litter surveys in Thesprotia, Greece, 28-30 July 2015. The previous sets of surveys took place in winter (November 2014) and spring (March 2015). Based on the beach monitoring methodology prepared by MIO-ECSDE in collaboration with other DeFishGear partners, six sites were selected taking into consideration their location (vicinity to ports, river mouths, tourist destinations, coastal urban areas, remote areas) and other features related to morphology, accessibility, etc. The sites – located at Valtos (Parga), Arrila beach (Perdika), Mega Ammos (Syvota), Drepano (Igoumenitsa), Kalamas estuary and Sagiada beach – were also chosen based on the input received by the Management Body of Kalamas – Acherontas Rivers, who also granted the MIO-ECSDE team with the necessary permission to perform the surveys in three locations within the protected area. The results of the one-year-long beach litter surveys will contribute to the identification of risks in the area related to litter that ends up in the marine environment originating from different on- and off-shore human activities (e.g. inadequate urban solid waste management at all stages, discharge of untreated municipal sewage, commercial fishing, etc.) and subsequently facilitate the work of the Management Body, as well as of the local authorities to identify prevention and mitigation actions to tackle marine litter. The results of the pilot 'monitoring' activity on amounts, composition and potential impacts of marine litter are expected to be published by the beginning of 2016. It should be noted that MIO-ECSDE and Accademia del Leviatano have undertaken floating litter surveys in the area, while the... read more

It's not a matter of writing a prescription you clueless twit, doctors also give advice to their patients that will hopefully save their lives like leaving a dangerous situation and possibly getting them in touch with an agency that will help facilitate the change.
Another example of when a presence of a gun in the house would be germane is if a patient is showing signs of clinical depression which often presents itself as physical symptoms. Guns in the home are often used as a means of suicide.

"All major murder-suicide studies in the United States completed since 1950 have
shown that firearms are by far the most common method of committing homicide,
with the offender choosing the firearm for suicide as well.4 Estimates range from
firearms being used in 80 percent to 90 percent of cases, but many other weapons,
including aircraft, have been used."
What about the other 10 percent? I guess that they don't matter.

I'm on my phone & can not copy & paste, but if you want go to fear God.net . You'll see they are not taking about respect at all, but fear literally. Do much so that they didn't want direct communication with God. Yet when God had something to say, he spoke directly to Moses & dozens of others. That is not the spirit of God to whom they were communicating with if it scared them. That was primitive people misunderstanding natural disasters & claiming it was a message from God. This is what I mean by learn from the past of what not to do, but don't look for answers of present times & future problem or you'll be as delusional as they were thousands of years ago. They spike of fear from Genesis all the way to revelation nonstop as if the God of live & compassion was the God of fear. Those people were scared of people, kings that killed in the name of God. False prophets!

As I stated here yesterday, your forefathers were slave owners at the time they signed the constitution & more than alot of those slaves were muslims along with alot of those sent to give them guidance, the moors. The moors were not of 1 religious background, but the majority were Muslim. I know you'll say the slaves religious views didn't matter, but what about the moors. They were black yet free teachers of freemasonry. See George Washington's portrait with his full Mason apparel. You'll see a black dude standing behind him as well in Mason apparel with a turban on his head. He's a moors. They also lived here in those times. Were their religious beliefs taken into account when the constitution was written? Not to mention there is some evidence that Ben Franklin was an atheist. Some even say Washington was Muslim thru his affiliation with the moors & also evidence to say otherwise. Just showing you not even all who signed the constitution were of 1 religious faith.

Stuffy Old Men: Region, Religion, Race and Class Define and Buffet GOP
Given what the Republican Party is and where Americas demographics are heading, it is unclear whether the Grand Old Party can successfully pivot to the center without jeopardizing its socially conservative evangelical base. Electoral competitiveness remains elusive for Republicans as singles and younger voters have migrated to the Democratic Party. The GOP is also shackled with the legacies of Iraq, Katrina and the crash of 2008 that have led many to view Republican competence as oxymoronic.
So at best, the party is barely treading water. A recent PPP poll shows both incumbent Senator Marco Rubio and former Governor Jeb Bush trailing Hillary Rodham Clinton by double digitsin Florida. Putting things in perspective, if the Republicans do not win Florida, they cannot re-take the White House. Indeed, with Florida, and Virginia another state that Barack Obama carried twicethe once-Republican Solid South is starting to look like a blue-and-red checkerboard, with Democrats now owning some of the biggest squares.
Meanwhile, the Republican Party is far from agreed that it even has a problem. In fact, intra-party schisms were vividly displayed at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference, to which New Jerseys popular governor Chris Christie was not invited. Instead, CPAC attendees heard Donald Trump do his usual rich guy-tough guy routine, and listened to Sarah Palin extol her husbands and her own physical endowments. Okay for reality TV, perhaps, if not so much for serious national politics.

Pope Emeritus Benedict Joins Fox News:Pope Culture To Debut In The Fall
For the first time in 600 years there is a living former Pope. However, Pope Emeritus Benedict does not plan to retire quietly to the Vaticans back porch and tend to gardening and meditation. He has other plans and they are leaking out along with a wisp of white smoke from the chimney atop 1211 Avenue of the Americas.
Fox News insiders report that a deal has been reached to bring Benedict to the Fox News family with a new program to air on Sunday mornings. Tentatively titled Pope Culture, sources say that it will premiere this fall and is slated to be a forum for many of the values issues that dominate the dialogue in the media and at dinner tables across America.
Sources inside Fox, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the matter, said that contract negotiations included some unique concessions. The show would not be modeled after the other Sunday news programs that feature sometimes raucous debates. Benedict insisted that his program be a more deliberative hour interspersed with inspirational segments and profiles of charitable organizations and volunteer opportunities. The theme of promoting service was said to have been brought up repeatedly by Benedicts representatives. They briefly encountered some resistance at Fox by hardliners who regard such talk as coddling freeloaders who refuse to accept personal responsibility. In the end, Benedict prevailed by agreeing that the type of service that he advocated was of the private variety and not that provided by bloated government agencies. That was enough to win over the Fox holdouts.
Benedict further requested and received assurances that he would have editorial control and would not be subject to either fairness or balance with regard to his topics or guests, a demand Ailes had no problem with since he never took that seriously anyway. There is also a provision for Fox to build a TV studio at Benedicts residence which, sources say, will be accomplished on the cheap by repossessing the one they built for Sarah Palin at her home in Wasilla, Alaska. As of this writing there is no confirmation of rumors regarding the brown M&Ms.
So Benedict ought to feel right at home in the midst of a College of (Media) Cardinals. His prior experience as spokesman for a vast assembly of true believers is the ideal preparation for a career as a Fox minister. Fox viewers exhibit a fierce loyalty that is consistent with the behavior of religious devotees and cults. They voluntarily separate themselves from the heresy of other news sources that might infect their pious souls. They make a point of disassociating with apostates and blasphemers who might divert them from the true path. Cult leaders demand strict obedience, and that is precisely what Fox News gets from their disciples. They even have an adjunct site, Fox Nation [see Fox Nation vs. Reality], that implores its adherents to Join Us with the promise that they will never be alone a promise that is familiar to churchgoers.
The pairing of Fox and Benedict appears to be almost preordained. They have striking similarities in their principles and agendas. And at the root of their shared mission is the fact that they are both trying to sell stories on faith to ill-informed people who are motivated by fear. This relationship has the potential to be beneficial for everyone involved and is being greeted with unanimous approval from the Fox hierarchy. Oh Happy Day.

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7
"Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love." 1 John 4:18
Children with loving parents are still punished if they misbehave. The fear of making them angry and displeasing them is often what keeps them from acting out bad behavior.
It's not an unhealthy fear. It's fear of displeasing someone you love. Same with fearing the Lord.

After Todd Akin lost the Missouri Senate race to Democrat Claire McCaskill in November, he had one final piece of business to take care of as an outgoing member of the House of Representatives -- giving piles of government money to his staff. Akin nearly doubled the salaries of his House staffers in the quarter after his defeat, according to the website LegiStorm, which tracks congressional pay.
Only retiring Democrat Gary Ackerman of New York was more generous with public money, barely topping Akin's 98 percent increase in pay, the website shows. Allen West, a Tea Party favorite from South Florida, was the fourth biggest giver of taxpayer bonuses after he lost reelection to Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.). Rep. Chip Cravaack (R-Minn.) was the third most generous, according to LegiStorm.
West and Akin routinely decried wasteful and out-of-control government spending, calling for major cuts to social programs.

Hepatitis C Outbreak Could Boost Regulation Bill
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - The case of a medical technologist suspected of infecting patients with Hepatitis C could boost momentum for federal legislation requiring medical imaging and radiation therapy workers to meet standards before their employers receive Medicare reimbursements.
David Kwiatkowski is accused of stealing drugs and contaminating syringes used on patients at Exeter Hospital in New Hampshire, where 32 people have been diagnosed with the same strain of hepatitis C he carries. He previously worked at 18 hospitals in seven other states, moving from hospital to hospital despite having been fired twice over allegations of drug use and theft.
"Unbelievable," said U.S. Rep. John Barrow, a Georgia Democrat and lead sponsor of the legislation. "That's what happens when you have incredibly important, sophisticated work being done by folks who don't have to be trained or certified or qualified to do it."
Barrow's comments came one day after a story by The Associated Press detailed how a lack of regulation, poor communication and Kwiatkowski's own lies helped him slip through the cracks.
Kwiatkowski worked as a cardiovascular technologist, one of several specialized positions within a broader profession. According to the American Society of Radiologic Technologists, 45 states regulate at least one type of job involving medical imaging or radiation therapy. But education and certification standards vary widely. Alabama, Idaho, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina and Washington, D.C., have no regulations.
The organization has been advocating for years for a federal law that would direct the Department of Health and Human Services to create uniform standards that hospitals would have to meet if they receive Medicare payments. The latest version was introduced in June by Sens. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., and Tom Harkin, D-Iowa. Barrow is one of 130 co-sponsors on the House side.
Though Congress failed to pass any of the previous versions, no significant opposition has emerged over the years, said Christine Lung, the society's vice president of government relations. She hopes the Kwiatkowski case will add some traction.
"This is an issue that just hasn't floated up into national prominence or attention," she said. "I think it's going to take situations like Mr. Kwiatkowski ... to really make the public sit up and take notice."

Open the Mac App Store to buy and download apps.
Neu is a simple application that makes it easier to create new documents in the Finder, without you having to open an application first.
It does this by adding "Create Document..." and "Create And Open Document..." menus to various places, including the main menubar, the Dock, and the Services menu that the Finder shows when you right-click on something. You can also trigger Neu from any application using a special key combination.
Neu lets you choose what to make from a list of templates, which are simply existing files. Once you've chosen a template, Neu creates a copy of it, brings the Finder to the front, and selects the new file.
Neu comes with some pre-defined templates, but you can add your own, so you can customise the types of new file available to suit your needs. It can make a blank text file, an empty letter, a shopping list, or anything else that you want. You can have one template, or a hundred - it's up to you.
What's New in Version 1.2
Templates window UI overhauled:
- added some gradients
- now allows switching between list and grid view
- now has a "Open after creation" checkbox on it.
- added contextual menus to template items
- added description column to the list view
- can now drag templates out of the window onto the Finder to create documents
- can now drag documents into the window from the Finder to add templates
- the same window is used for viewing the template list and for making new documents, but the window now has a different set of buttons in each case, to make the context clearer.
- grid items now have tooltips with full name of the template.
Templates list automatically rebuilt when it is changed in the Finder.
When sandboxing is enabled, "Save" dialog will have to be shown in certain situations - changed preference to "Hide when possible" to reflect this.
Reorganised the preferences:
- advanced options moved to their own panel
- added "Keep Window Centered" option.
- removed the Templates preferences panel; we now use a modified version of the normal templates window to organise the templates
Small status menu icon is now see through like other icons.
If there's only one template, we simplify the menus, and we don't bother showing the "choose template" dialog.
Added userName and userFullName to substitution variables. Added some more text filters to convert MixedCaps text - useful for coding templates.
Added an example template for an objective-c header file.
Added Reveal All Templates menu command, which will show all the Templates folders in the Finder (including one in /Library if it exists).
Neu now property takes note of the post-process flag for each template (which can be set using the Edit Template... context menu in the templates list).
Re-written the user guide to reflect the 1.2 UI and features.

Program Overview
The California Accidental Release Prevention has taken the EPA's Risk Management Program and made it more stringent for California. The purpose of the program is to prevent the catastrophic release of regulated substances. This is a performance based regulation that has different prevention elements for different program levels. The program also required regulated sources to perform an off-site consequence analysis looking at the potential impact of a release of a regulated substance under a worst case and alternate release scenarios.

As you walk around inside, listen to stories and history about the wealth of artwork contained within the Accademia Gallery's walls. Works by Renaissance superstar Michelangelo are given pride of place inside the museum, and your guide's commentary focuses on the much-loved Florentine artist. Admire his famously unfinished sculptures – Prigioni and San Matteo – and then gaze in awe at the statue of David that dominates the central gallery.
Ever the crowd pleaser, David was created by Michelangelo when he was just in his twenties, fresh from the glory of carving La Pietà. Sculpted entirely from local Carrara marble, the statue of the nude biblical hero is incredible to behold with life-like veins and muscles carved to precision as had never been done before. Standing at a lofty height of 17 feet (5.17 meters), the statue of David became a symbol of freedom and independence for the city.
After admiring David, visit other rooms with your guide to learn about other Renaissance artists such as Botticelli and Lippi. When your tour finishes, you can stay inside the museum for as long as you wish, discovering collections of artwork from the Middle Ages as well as the Renaissance. The Accademia Gallery is also home to the Museum of Musical Instruments, which is worth visiting independently.

very knowledgeable guide, makes the tour special
June 2015
This was a highly enjoyable experience. Our guide was very interested in sharing with us an extensive history and biography of MIchangelo. His suggestions for photo ops resulted in great photo memories. Although the guided portion of this museum trip did not include the entire museum, be sure to explore the room with the plaster busts and view the short video there. There is also an exhibit of musical instruments in this museum that should not be missed
June 2015
Very well organized. Charming guide.

I just posted a blog update on my website where I dissect in detail a seven-part photographic series of mine. Like all of my work it is a conceptual and cinematic shoot that originated on film. I will freely admit that this style and methodology of shooting does not appeal to everyone, but I tried to make it as informative as possible and there is hopefully some good information there.
For those that can slog through it, please feel free to comment or make suggestions if I was unclear on any point or if my techniques require further explanation. If anyone wants to link, share, or repost what I've written, you have my unlimited permission. If even one person can learn something from all of this then it's worth it.
Warning: the post(s) are decidedly on the long side, which is why it's broken into two parts. Your bravery is appreciated.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture

Drop in popularity
"We will study the results closely and ... see why we have ended in this position," he said.
The Republican People's Party, Turkey's secularist main opposition, came second in the poll with 23.2 per cent of the vote, followed by the Nationalist Action Party with 16.1 per cent.
Turkish exports have fallen dramatically since this time last year – down 35 per cent. As factories close, industrial output has plummeted by 21 per cent. The value of the Turkish lira is down 26 per cent. Unemployment in the nation of 71 million people has soared to a four-year-high, at 13.6 per cent. Turkey's budget deficit has soared to $4.4bn.
The drop in the ruling party's popularity comes against a backdrop of record unemployment and a worsening economy in the country.
Erdogan aggressively campaigned across Turkey for weeks, particularly in the southeast, aiming for a win that would bring a shift in a region marred by separatist violence that has weighed heavily on the country's economic and political development.
He had said on Friday that he would consider it a failure if his party received less votes than the 47 per cent it won last year.
The party was unable to win the city of Diyarbakir, the largest city in the Kurdish southeast, and several other key cities, including Izmir.
The secularist opposition also made inroads in Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, and in the capital Ankara.
Economic factors
About 48 million people were eligible to vote in the polls in 81 provinces.
Turkey's once booming economy has been severely hit by the global economic crisis.
Unemployment stands at 13.6 per cent and the economy is expected to go into recession in 2009 after years of unprecedented growth.
The International Monetary Fund and Turkey have been in talks for months on a deal said to be aimed at protecting the $750bn economy from the financial crisis and Erdogan is expected to complete those talks after Sunday's vote.
At least five people were killed and 93 were wounded in election-related violence in the southeast of Turkey, the state news agency Anatolian said on Sunday. Nearly 100 people were injured.
Al Jazeera's Anita McNaught, reporting from Istanbul, said there were tensions ahead of the vote, particularly in the southeast, but the fighting was very localised, and not party-related.
