Fuji announces FinePix S5 Pro DSLR
Fuji has announced a new 12.34 megapixel (6.17 + 6.17 mp) dSLR, the FinePix S5 Pro. It is based on the Nikon D200 body, and that's good news for underwater photographers because it will fit on D200 housings. Here are some of the new features in this camera:
- Three new "Film Simulation Modes" for improved reproduction of natural skin tones
- New "dual cycle" noise-reduction algorithms for pictures at 3200 ISO (ISO range from 100 – 3200)
- More dynamic range settings from 100% to 400%
- RAW + Jpeg simultaneous shooting
- High-precision i-TTL flash control
The Truth About CDNN Cyber Diver News Network
Finally, there is a website that collects information about the crooked dealings of the Cyber Diver News Network (CDNN). Check out divepoll.com to see the truth about CDNN. Excerpt from DivePoll:
Cyber Diver News Network is a known hate website that claims to deliver "world scuba news worth knowing". In truth is they are copyright infringers, which means they literally steal other's material without the author's permission. Many authors and artists have been violated. CDNN steals images from photographer websites, removes the copyright notices, and uses them for headlines in their news articles.
Note that DivePoll lists Cuan Law and Lammer Law as sponsors of CDNN. This is incorrect. Cuan Law and Lammer Law's management have informed me that they have not given money to CDNN for at least five years:
We did subscribe when they first started up not knowing then what a problem they would become. We have repeatedly asked them to remove our "sponsorship" but get no reply and no action. We have not been able to find any way of reaching them other than by email, which is not answered.

Warm or Cold Strobes - What's your preference?
Wetpixel member Andrzej Czyzyk (aczyzyk) has started a topic asking about the merits of using strobes with different color temperatures:
What I understood reading other threads is that it is a matter of personal taste. The problem is I'm not sure what I prefer. I use warm strobes and like the results, but maybe cold strobes would be ok too?
The thread has expanded into a discussion on how strobe temperature, white balance and exposure medium all contribute to the balance and choice of color in your underwater photography. Be sure to join in with your thoughts!

Leatherback Turtles Revisted
During the months of July and August, I and a select group of adventurers from Mexico, Australia, Germany, England, France, Spain, Singapore and the United States visited the nesting beaches of the Pacific Leatherback Sea Turtles (Dermochelys Coriacea), in very remote Papua Barat, Indonesia.
My initial visits and exposure to these "Gentle Giants of the Pacific" was a year previously in a far different manner than these just concluded trips…

text: not too believeable, but I do like a woman to handle my dick while I'm fucking her pussy. However, I did a real fucking in the boonies when I was hired (summer help) to clean up this family's cabin in the backwoods, that hadn't been used for about 4 years. I had looked at the cabin with the owner, a woman about 50 whose husband had died and she wanted it fixed up for future family outings. When I went out, I carried camping equipment since I knew it was going to be about a week or so fixing up things. On the 3rd day, one of her daughters (about 28) came out to see how I was doing. There was chemistry between us and I did spend about 4 hours with her before getting back to work. She came out again on day 5 and day 7.

Overall great product.

This was yet another impulse buy made in an attempt to help my winter-dry lips! I was hoping that this would do the trick since the product has been pretty widely praised, but it just didn't work for me. Maybe the product wasn't intended to fix lips that are as dry and chapped as mine are. While it didn't further irritate my lips, it didn't really soothe the dryness either. I found that the product disappeared quickly once it was applied and I had to *constantly* reapply to keep my lips comfortable.
I think the mint flavor and scent are very nice and not too overwhelming, but the product is just not moisturizing and "buttery" enough for me. In fact, sometimes it feels a little bit gritty going on as though tiny bits of wax harden in the product and then transfer on to my lips.
I do have to give credit where credit is due, though. The packaging IS adorable! I might be kind of "meh" on this lip sphere thing but my cats LOVE to bat this little sphere off my dresser and play with it for what seems like hours on end. That alone was at least worth the price of product! :)

I bought one of these and fell in love! So I bought another for my purse and another for a back up. Sadly, once winter came I found these EOS lippies are not very moisturizing. No matter how much I put on my lips were still cracked and dry. Oddly enough, they never got cracked and dry before using EOS lip balm. So tonight I put on my good old black and white tube of Chapstick and my lips feel so soft and moisturized. These are EOS balms are okay but they didnt live up to the hype for me.

I believed the hype and I bought about 8 of these sweet mint is my Favourite. These actually dry out my lips sooo badly! I spent a week at my friends house and only brought the sweet mint EOS lip balm with me for a treatment used it morning and night and my lips were getting so chapped which in turn made me use more of the lip balm etc. etc. I got home used Burt's bees for 2 days and my lips went back to normal. I was so sad to figure out that the lip balm I was in love with actually hurt my lips rather than help :'( what am I gonna do with all these lip balms now? Lol

Highly overrated. Cute design,nice smell. This actually dried out my lips. At first I thought it was just a change in weather. Than maybe I was adjusting to it. I finished 3/4 of one to get it an honest go,went back to my old faithful and my lips were improved within two days. Novelty item to me.

Every woman/ young girl should carry one of these i there handbag. The design is so quirky but still useful. The flavors are vast and the product is actually quite hydrating and healing to the lip area.

Love this. It's hard to be that impressed with a lip balm but this one (in mint) smells amazing, plumps my lips and lasts absolutely ages on. It's a pleasure to use too and is completely non-greasy. Well worth the £7.

I wanted to buy this product after so many times of seeing my friends rave over this product. Last year I then decided to purchase this in sweet mint because I love minty lip product and to my surprise the smell was INCREDIBLE!!!!!! It smelled like the Olive Garden Andes chocolate mints and I couldn't stop smelling it!!!! And the application was so smooth and wonderful feeling on my lips. However at first it took some time for me to get used to putting the cap back on without chipping the product but now it's not a problem ;) I also recently tried the green eos ball and although it smells pretty good my favorite still is the Sweet mint eos ball. I absolutely love this product ^-^ <3

This product Is physically appealing, but that is all. I tired fruit version over the summer and was using it for about 2 weeks then all of a sudden my lips started stinging, I got red dots around my mouth, and some pealing. I blamed it on the sun exposure. I'd why came to that conclusion because I never get sunburns or dramatic pealing skin. I stopped using eos during the summer of 2013 and I tired it again about three days ago. This time I tired sweet mint. My lips started feeling and looking strange after two days. This time I can't blame it on the sun since I've been working at home due to the cold Chicago weather. I threw that shit in the trash.

Potkey: Fujita makes emotional return to New Orleans
Scott Fujita honors a former teammate, Jack Wilson's inglorious streak continues and Corey Pavin changes his swing via email.
Local players and coaches are making news beyond the county lines. Here's what being said and done
Cleveland Browns linebacker Scott Fujita asked for some time off last Monday for a very good cause.
The Rio Mesa High graduate wanted to fly to New Orleans to present a former Saints teammate with a Super Bowl ring.
Steve Gleason recently revealed he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also know as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Five years ago, Gleason authored one of the most famous plays in Saints history by blocking a punt against the Atlanta Falcons during the official reopening of the Louisiana Superdome in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Fujita and 16 other former Saints teammates surprised Gleason with his ring during a private ceremony, and Saints head coach Sean Patyon made the presentation.
Fujita organized the event with Gleason's wife, and received approval from the Browns to take the day off months ago.
"It was a very emotional couple of days," Fujita told reporters. "When he first called me in January a day after the diagnosis, a wave of emotions just ran through me knowing what he's about to go through. I lost my Uncle Dale 15 years ago, so I know firsthand how cruel this disease is. But (Gleason's) perspective helps us all."
Darrell Scott is taking the Roger Clemens approach to his new start at the University of South Florida. The redshirt junior running back does not want to talk about the past. The Denver Post requested to interview Scott, but the St. Bonaventure High graduate declined because "he'd prefer to continue focusing on the future."
Scott signed with the University of Colorado as a five-star recruit out of high school, but never lived up to the hype. He left midway through his sophomore season and eventually transferred to USF.
USF head coach Skip Holtz isn't a big fan of the recruiting rankings.
"It puts unfair expectations on a 17- or 18-year-old young man," Holtz told the Post. "When they come to college, they still have a lot of work to do. I've really been impressed with Darrell's work habits. I don't know what he was at Colorado or what the perception of him was. He's impressed the coaching staff. He's earned respect of his teammates for the way he's come in here, closed his mouth and worked every single day."
Charlie Wi and Corey Pavin found themselves at the top of the leader board for one round at different golf tournaments last week.
Wi, a Westlake High graduate, was tied for the lead after 36 holes at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas. But Wi shot a 72 and 67 in his final rounds to finish tied for 16th.
"I've had a pretty up-and-down this year, and I want to go out with a bang, make sure my game is ready for next year," Wi told PGA.com "And you know, I worked really hard the last three weeks, so I want to see how — I want to perform well for myself the next three weeks, and you know, I want to carry that into 2012."
Pavin, an Oxnard High graduate, led after one round at the Champion Tour's SAS Championship, but finished tied for 18th.
Following his tournament-opening 7-under 65, Pavin told reporters he made an electronic swing change. Pavin spoke with his swing coach Greg LaBelle, who made suggestions to Pavin after watching his swing via email.
"I worked on it the last couple of days, and I made some changes," Pavin said. "I really felt a lot more comfortable on the golf course today than I have in a long time. I did some work on my putter as well, and that was better."
Former Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona may not have been able to reach his players anymore, but Jessica Mendoza was listening this season.
Mendoza, a Camarillo High graduate, made her professional baseball debut as a sideline reporter for ESPN when the Red Sox played the Texas Rangers.
The softball star said the moment she knew she belonged was when she met Francona, who resigned from the Red Sox last week.
"He has two daughters who played softball at UNC, and he follows the sport and knew about me and some of my Olympic teammates," Mendoza wrote on espnw.com.
"When we were in-game and I was in my reporter spot next to the dugout, looking and listening for information I could share on air, Terry Francona was peeking through the side of the dugout looking for me! He was curious about my approach as a hitter, the types of pitchers I preferred facing and what I felt my biggest assets as a player were. After going back and forth with questions, I realized there was very little difference between the way I play the game and the way most of the guys on the field play. I felt like I was at home."
It's a list Jack Wilson seemed destined to finally escape this season until the Atlanta Braves collapsed in the final month of the season.
Among active players, Wilson, a Thousand Oaks High graduate and Oxnard College product, remains No. 3 for most games played without a postseason appearance.
Wilson (1,330 games) is behind only Adam Dunn (1,570) and Vernon Wells (1,524) as players who have never tasted the playoffs, according to baseballreference.com,
Wilson, who just completed his 11th season, started his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates before being traded to the Seattle Mariners in 2009. The Mariners traded the infielder to the Braves on Aug. 31 of this season.
Wilson is a free agent in 2012.

What is the best icing for an outside wedding in warm weather?
Carrie from Perry, GA
Here are the recent answer to this question.
By Barbara [3]05/05/2008
Whoops I forgot! you could use rolled fondant, that would be fine in the hot weather.
By Barbara [3]05/05/2008
I have dec' cakes for over 30 years, & the only icing I would use for REALLY hot weather is a royal icing that is made "cutable" by adding a little glycerine, if you can get hold of "Riches Topping " where you are, that is pretty good it is the cream that the "Dairy Queen" uses for their cakes, but I don't know how it would stand up to a really hot day, - best to try it on a small cake before the big event.
By Rasta (Guest Post)04/27/2008
7 minute frosting is good and holds up. Check it out on all recipes.com
By NoName (Guest Post)04/26/2008
No icing is best for an outside wedding in the summer. They all melt!
By christi [66]04/26/2008
This was on my husbands grooms cake and it was wonderful and is now my new favorite icing.
Chocolate Ganache
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ------------ --------- --------- --
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Combine morsels and cream a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high
for 30 seconds; stir, Continue microwaving in 30 seconds intervals until
mixture is smooth when stirred. Let cool 10 minutes.
"1 cup"
By Shelli04/24/2008
Buttercream frosting will hold up fine in warm weather - definitely do NOT use whipped cream frosting when it's warm - it will melt - take it from a decorator!
I would decorate the cake the night before (where I work I decorate the Saturday wedding cakes late on Friday night),
Happy celebrations!

Archive for the 'Ray Allen' tag
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 LS6 convertible
The Ray Allen/Briggs Chevrolet/Truppi Kling 1970 Chevelle convertible LS6 – a former NHRA championship-winning Super Stock drag car – is still looking for a new owner, now on Hemmings.com. The car failed to sell at Mecum's Kissimmee sale in January, attracting a high bid of $450,000.
The eyebrows of the Chevrolet faithful rose in unison when this car sold for an unheard-of $1.2 million at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2006. Then, just over three years later, you could almost hear a collective "I told you so," as the car changed hands at RM's Icons of Speed and Style auction in Los Angeles, for $264,000.
There's little doubt that the 1970 Chevelle SS with the vaunted LS6 454 is one of the top five hero cars on any muscle era Chevrolet fan's list. As mass-produced cars like Chevrolets go, it's a rare bird: There were 4,475 LS6-powered cars sold, but there's no way of knowing for sure how many of the 4,475 were Chevelle hardtops, how many were convertibles or how many were El Caminos.
To make the Truppi Kling Chevelle legal for NHRA Super Stock, Chevrolet would've had to produce at least 50 like it, but competitors at the time alleged that fewer than 20 Chevelle SS LS6 convertibles had been built. From the owner's description:
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 LS6 CONVERTIBLE, Original Truppi Kling Ray Allen Raced LS6 Chevelle Super Sport Convertible, Without a doubt the most historic, recognized and valuable Chevelle in the world. This LS6 is documented with its original buildsheet and copy of the original title in which Truppi and Kling signed off on along with many vintage pictures and articles. The car was tracked down and bought by Ray Allen himself. After the car was restored, Ray sold it in 2006 for a record $1.2 million. Since that time. the car has been made even more correct. with all hand-painted lettering, correct vintage gauges, shifter and correct bolt-on performance parts under the hood etc.. The car was known as the "KILLER CAR" and went undefeated during the 1970 race season and ultimately won the NHRA World Finals in 1970 and Supernationals along with many other highly notable races. It was also one of the first drag cars to ever be shown on network television during ABC's Wide World of Sports race coverage. The car broke and held many national records infact the "Killer Car" ended Chrysler's domination of NHRA's Super Stock classes at the peak of the muscle car era.
Original Fathom Blue with White Stripes, Black bucket seat interior with column shift (now has the as-raced Hurst Auto Stick on floor), Factory Radio Delete, Cowl Induction, 12 bolt posi, HD suspension & Front power disc brakes, Ordered as a bare bones stripped down car with the biggest engine possible, obviously the original drivetrain is long gone but it was restored using all correct date components and correct style race components. Car shows very well and car easily be street driven with the addition of exhaust if desired.
This car is a double threat. To start with, it is a Ultra Rare LS6 Convertible, which in itself is extremely desirable and hard to find, and it's also one of the most significant Super Stock Drag cars of all time. It is a true piece of Chevrolet History, Muscle Car History and Drag Racing History. A true piece of Americana!

Ex-racer Chevelle rakes in $1.2 million
This original LS6 Chevelle, an ex-drag car fetched a whopping $1.15 million at the recent Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale.
By now the dust has settled after the craziness at Barrett-Jackson, but the prices paid for muscle cars remain crazy. When will it end? Nobody knows. One thing we do know is a car that once was setting record prices, then kind of fell off the cliff years ago, is back.
Several world records were set on Saturday, and it seems that people with tons of money are buying muscle cars. Recently, hoopla has centered around Hemis in any form of Chrysler product, but probably the biggest surprise was what was paid for the 1970 LS6 Chevelle sponsored by Truppi and Kling, who built the engine with sponsorship from South Amboy, New Jersey's Briggs Chevrolet.
The blue LS6 had but 61 actual miles and a very famous 322,080 feet, a quarter foot at a time. We cannot confirm whether the $1.15 million paid for this car is a world record, but it is safe to say that most likely it is the most money to ever change hands for a 1970 Chevelle, be it an LS6 or a gold-plated job.
We know of a Cranberry Red hardtop that sold a year ago for $300,000, and on Saturday witnessed a Cranberry Red LS6 convertible cross the block at Barrett-Jackson for $513,000–which would have likely been a record had the Truppi-Kling car not brought big money.
In fact, the Ray Allen car stalled at $300,000, until Craig Jackson intervened and reiterated the famous race history of the car. The car then zoomed in price faster than it could accelerate on the drag strip with the final price, including commission, reaching $1,242,000. Incredible.

Pepin has reclaimed his title as DragonMaster and his allegiance is in question--are his loyalties to Mere Odain or the elves? The timing of this political crisis could not have been worse, as the Crown Prince is to leave the next day on a diplomatic visit to Dalziel. Once in Dalziel, things rapidly begIn to fall apart. Politically, Kyel and Jansson are at each other's throats, Vantann and Thomlin make friends in the wrong places, and Treyas finds out that his SoulMate and squire, Druce Sinclair, is suffering from a horribly painful and incurable disease. To top it off, Treyas discovers that Dalziel has been overrun with Nydiri, who have the power of Illusion. He is no longer sure who is talking to--a trusted friend or an imposter. When Vantann, Thomlin, Elecka Sylvain and a kitchen girl disappear, it becomes a cat and mouse game to find them without alerting the Nydiri that their deception has not been uncovered. At least until Treyas can find a way to free the captives and destroy the Nydiri threat once and for all...

Nonvignon G Group
Houinsi Victorine is 62 and lives in Bénin. She is married to a driver named Léonard. The couple have five children, all having attended school. Houinsi Victorine never attended school. To support herself, she sells used clothing at her home. She also prepares food that she sells out of her home. She has been in these businesses for some 20 years. She buys her goods in a market in Bénin.
With the aim of bolstering their businesses and better satisfying their clientele, Houinsi Victorine and the other members of the NONVIGNON G group are requesting their first loan from ALIDé.
Additional Information
About AlidéAlidé is a Beninese NGO that works to reduce poverty by offering sustainable access to productive loans like this one in addition to savings, training sessions, and social work to low-income families.
Supporters of this loan should be aware that there is some risk of being repaid late. Because the Beninois Ministry of Finance has imposed restrictions on the amount of money Alidé can send to Kiva, the organization can only send monthly repayments in installments smaller than $13,000. This means that some Kiva lenders may receive their repayments late. However, Alidé remains a healthy institution in good standing with its creditors, and Kiva would like to continue working to support its clients. For more information, please refer to Alidé's partner profile page.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The Benefits of Reading to Children
- Written by JENNIFER DUFFIELD, CO-OWNER/TEACHER, VAULTING FROGS PRESCHOOL
One of the greatest investments a parent, relative or caregiver can make in the lives of children is to take the time to read to them. So often we get caught up in the frenzy of daily tasks, work, calls, emails, chores, and even in the personal indulgence of the many forms of social media.
With these distractions we need to remember to create the time for simple pleasures and to slow down the pace in order to focus completely on our children. Reading to children shows them they are significant and deserve our uninterrupted attention.Read more ...

I was talking with my son last night and trying to decide where to go from here.
He made a comment that I have heard before but it never sank in untill just then
Where ever I am, I will be there too, and where ever I go I will also be there. So if I am unsatified with some thing I better look within first before I move on.
Heard it but never understood it untill now

moments of clarity
Hey there, you know I heard that no matter where I go there I am. I have a card that has that printed on it. Yeah, whenever I feel like running away I generally have to look inside and ask what is the fear about that makes me want to run. It's good that you have a son to talk to, even more, to listen to. Good for you.
Take care and straight ahead, John.
Take care and straight ahead, John.
Thank you
I am a blessed person these days. There is no doubt about that. Thank you for your encouragement.

Slow-Cooker Sweet Potato and Lentil Soup — Meatless Mondayby Maria Russo in Recipes, January 28th, 2013
When you eliminate meat from your diet — even just one day a week — you likely end up craving the taste and texture of something hearty and beefy, something substantial to sink your teeth into. For that, look to lentils. These protein-rich rounds are indeed small in size, but they pack a surprisingly satisfying punch and a chewy firmness similar to beans. No matter which color lentil you pick up (there are almost as many varieties as there are colors of the rainbow), you can be sure that you'll feel full long after eating them, thanks to their high protein and fiber contents. It takes little more than a drizzle of olive oil and tangy balsamic vinegar to complete a humble bowl of lentils, but these budget-friendly bites add heft to dressed-up plates like soups and salads as well, especially when combined with other hearty ingredients and bold flavors.
Food Network Magazine puts yellow lentils to work in its Slow-Cooker Sweet Potato and Lentil Soup (pictured above), simmered with fresh leeks, ginger and just a pinch of curry powder. Though warming winter soups are often thought to be weekend-only fare, this one is a go-to weeknight pick, since the slow cooker will do most of the cooking for you. Just prep the ingredients and set the machine to low before you leave in the morning, then come back later to a comforting soup made deliciously thick from the lentils. A last-minute addition of garlic, a bit more curry powder, plus refreshingly light lemon juice and fresh cilantro is all it takes to finish this fuss-free supper.

Spiritquest Healing Center
Psychic Readings * Intuitive Reiki Healing * Past Life Regression
Weekly Intuitive Power Hour * Workshops * Free Spiritquest Cares Monthly Event
"Spiritquest Healing Center & Angel Gift Shop" is a quaint Holistic Center ideally located between the beautiful and peaceful beaches of Sunset & Ocean Isle North Carolina, just 15 mins from the SC/NC border.
In 1995 I began my own Spiritual journey and soon after began doing Psychic Readings as well as holding Meditation Classes. In 1999 I quit my real job and officially opened "Spiritquest Healing Center" in NY! In 2000 I opened my first brick and mortar location! Over the next few years I would expand several times and in 2003 I built my dream Healing Center. In 2005 I bought a house and moved the business into my home so I could focus on writing my first book and traveling to teach in other areas. Throughout the years I have added many things to my practice (Reiki, Intuitive Healing, Past Life Regression, Holistic Life Coaching)….what a wonderful journey it has been! In 2013 I took a HUGE leap of faith when I left NY in order to fulfill my dreams of living by the beach! In May of 2014 I decided it was time to open another shop….
"There are no words to explain the peacefulness and amazing energy of this town! Sunset and Ocean Isle Beach have a very special energy to them! I am so honored to be able to have my center located in the middle of this wonderful energy! I invite you to come in and share in my creation. Everything in the Healing Center has a story…from the Healing Prayer Fountain, to the little desk in my room (that was mine from a child), to the chair in my meditation room (that is as old as my son), to the Angel Wing Poem on the wall (originally written for someone who lost their son)…… This is a center for Healing, for Remembering, for Inspiration, for Transformation and for Sharing! I have put my heart and soul into this Center and I look forward to sharing it with all of you! I can promise you that when you come to Spiritquest you will always feel like you are part of our Spiritquest family!"Much Love and Light, Psychic Lisa Ann

Lyrics for Justin Townes Earle - "Baby's Got a Bad Idea"
Baby's got a bad idea I can see it in
Her eyes she wanna hide it but she cant
No matter how hard she tries
Baby's acting like a kid, lord she's
Playing games with me, oh but, I'm
Much too old a man these days
To play hide and seek
Maybe if I were a better man she wouldn't
Walk away from me, yeah I could
Keep her close to me
Baby's got a hold on me yeah
She's tearing me in two
I know there's nothing
There's nothing I can do
Sometimes when she sleeps
I like to listen to her breathe
I wish that could know what
She's dreaming but I don't know
Baby's got a cold embrace and
She just don't feel the same
Yeah she did when she use
To call me by my name, yeah
Yeah she did when she use
To call me by my name
Oh, damn

Republican Colorado State Senators are really working hard to outstrip Utah State Senator Chris Buttars on the mind-boggling ignorant bigotry.
Colorado State Senator Dave Schultheis had some choice words about a bill that would require HIV testing for pregnant women. Obviously, he is against this bill.
The Colorado Independent reports:
Schultheis said he planned to vote against a bill to require HIV tests for pregnant women because the disease "stems from sexual promiscuity" and he didn't think the Legislature should "remove the negative consequences that take place from poor behavior and unacceptable behavior."
Listen to some of his words here.
He went on to say: "What I'm hoping is that, yes, that person may have AIDS, have it seriously as a baby and when they grow up, but the mother will begin to feel guilt as a result of that. The family will see the negative consequences of that promiscuity and it may make a number of people over the coming years begin to realize that there are negative consequences and maybe they should adjust their behavior."
This is a state senator who believes that expectant mothers should not be tested for an incurable disease that could effect their child for life, because it is his opinion that HIV is contracted through "promiscuity" and therefore an HIV+ baby is the proper punishment for such a woman.
Let's leave aside Schultheis' obviously problematic belief that HIV is the result of promiscuity. Let's think about the baby here. Schultheis is a Republican with warped beliefs about sex, so I'd say it's a good bet that he is familiar with the "Culture of Life" bullshit and the anti-abortion movement. Purportedly, people who are fans of these movements care about the baybeez. Per usual, when it comes down to protecting children or shaming sluts, it appears that Schultheis would rather see babies born with HIV than allow a slut to get away with her slutty ways without being punished with a terminally ill child. An inspiring ideology, really.
But Wait! That's not all that's going down in Colorado! Oh no, it gets better (or worse, depending on your perspective.) Read the rest of this entry »
Final Call News reports:
In Chicago the mayor has put city employees on unpaid leave to help fill a budget shortfall. But a little over a year ago, Chicago officials agreed to pay $19.8 million to four men who suffered police torture under then-commander Jon Burge.Some $30 million has been spent to settle assorted lawsuits connected with the case, which stretches back to abuses during the 1980s and 1990s. Mayor Richard Daley proposed a two-to-three day furlough for more than 4,000 non-union workers to ease the city's budgetary crisis.
…Current budget problems may cause taxpayers to take a look at how their money is spent, but in Chicago $18 million was paid to the family of LaTanya Haggerty, a Black woman shot to death by police in 1999. In 1995, a New York Times editorial noted that in the "cash-starved" Big Apple, brutality settlements and court judgments cost the city $87 million over five years. The Rodney King beating cost Los Angeles $3.8 million in a settlement and estimates for property damage hit $700 million after riots when officers involved were acquitted. In 2001, the city of New York shelled out $7.125 million in the infamous Abner Louima case, in which the Haitian immigrant was assaulted with a plunger by officers in a precinct bathroom.
"This is shameful because right now if you're already suffering from a $150 million budget deficit and you have three or four huge lawsuits, you have to find that money, so it makes sense to train and educate officers on the front end rather than pay for settlements on the back," said Ronald Hampton, executive director of the National Black Police Association.
I don't read this as an argument that citizens who have been abused by police shouldn't bring cases. This is an argument for police departments to stop wasting taxpayer money by condoning police brutality. Thoughts?
Definitely Paul McCartney's best work.

10,000 Happy Birthdays
ICM, sponsored by Laerdal Global Health, is doing a two year project titled "10,000 Happy Birthdays" with the national midwifery associations in Zambia and Malawi from July 2014 to December 2016.
The project will
- Train 10 000 midwives and other MNCH health care providers in Helping Mothers Survive Bleeding After Birth (HMS-BAB) and Helping Babies Breathe (HBB)
- Facilitate institutionalisation of these skills-training into pre-service and in-service midwifery education in the two countries
- Build capacity of the midwives associations, AMAMI and MAZ, to conduct projects of a similar nature in the future
*Click on the picture above to download the brochure
In many countries around the world the day of birth is a time of celebration. However, countries like Malawi and Zambia have among the highest maternal mortality rates in the world, making the day of birth dangerous for both the mother and her newborn baby. Every year in Zambia, 6,000 newborns die on their first day of life. In Malawi, 1 in 36 women dies from complications associated with pregnancy and childbirth. The lifetime risk for a woman dying while giving birth in these countries is about 200 times higher compared to Norway, one of the world's safest countries to give birth.
Laerdal Global Health (LGH) pledged to run a fundraising campaign to raise up to $1,500,000 to train midwives and other healthcare providers in Helping Mothers Survive Bleeding After Birth (HMS-BAB) and Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) programmes. ICM had taken the responsibility to roll out the programmes in Zambia and Malawi in collaboration with LGH and the Midwives Associations of Zambia and Malawi. HMS-BAB is an evidence-based training programme to teach healthcare providers lifesaving skills on how to manage and control postpartum haemorrhage. HBB is a training programme for the management and prevention of birth asphyxia. Management of postpartum haemorrhage and prevention of birth asphyxia are both part of ICM's Essential Competencies for Basic Midwifery Practice.
With the two innovative programs, HBB and HMS-BAB, midwives learn simple measures to prevent, identify, and treat the leading causes of death associated with childbirth. Midwives trained in HMS-BAB and HBB can help save countless newborns and mothers every year. 'We are committed to create a global reach of these highly sustainable initiatives, and contribute to the reversing of the unacceptable loss of life at birth. ICM is well placed to reach tens of thousands of midwives with these lifesaving measures by working through our more than 100 member associations around the globe', said Frances Day-Stirk, ICM President.
'This is a good opportunity for Zambia, we have a very high maternal mortality, many women are dying of postpartum haemorrhage and a lot of babies are dying in the first week after birth. As an association we are very proud to be part of this and we are looking forward to training midwives and to save women's lives', said Genevieve Tororo Musokwa, President of the Zambian Association of Midwives. Frances Day-Stirk, ICM President, added: 'I hope this will turn into a global and not just a two-country initiative. I really hope we will get more partners on board and take this forward'. ICM Chief Executive Frances Ganges attended an event in Stavanger, Norway to kick-off the fundraising campaign to make 10,000 more happy birthdays. The event featured Norwegian performers as well as a panel of distinguished speakers. See the LGH website to read more about the fundraising event.

Size in Detail:
How Does a Plasma Ball Work?
Plasma Ball Basics
- A plasma ball is made up of an outer glass ball that has been filled with an inert gas such as neon at a high pressure. A second glass bulb contains the metallic electrode that acts as the source of the colorful strands of color that emanate from one globe to the next. Extremely popular in the 1980s it has been used as a special effect in movies and as a classroom tool to demonstrate plasma physics.
Electrodes and Magnetic Fields
- A plasma ball is made up of a large glass globe filled with inert gases such as neon or xenon. Inside the main globe is a smaller glove that has the electrode. The electricity from a standard outlet is amplified, creating an electromagnetic field. The high voltage reacts with the gas and excites the ions in the globe. The energy created is in the form of a photon, also known as light, and creates the colorful ribbons of energy.
Plasma and Precautions
- Plasma is the fourth form of matter and is usually associated with extreme temperatures. It is created when ions within an element are free to move independently of the other ions around them. The plasma streamers go from the electrode glass to the outer globe glass and follow the direction of the magnetic field. Your finger is a conductor. When you touch the outer globe, the magnetic field is changed and the ribbon is attracted to the contact point.
- While a plasma ball can be used for entertainment, there are a few precautions that must be taken or injury can occur. Prolonged contact by the plasma streamers to the outside of the glass, especially if they are concentrated in one spot, can lead to increased temperature to the glass. The glass can get hot enough to burn. It is also important that there is plenty of ventilation in the area of operation. The electrical interactions can create ozone gas outside of the globe, which can be hazardous.
Plasma Ball Tricks
A plasma ball is a device based on the plasma lamp originally invented by Nicola Tesla, and now it is commonly sold as a type of desktop toy or attention-getting gadget. Filled with a mixture of gases such as helium and neon, the plasma ball contains filaments of plasma, which glow and emit electromagnetic radiation in various ways depending on the items placed near the ball.
Lighting Fluorescent Bulbs
- Fluorescent light bulbs will light up if placed near an active plasma ball. This is due to the electric current flowing through the plasma, which the glass of the ball does not block. LEDs and argon light bulbs also light up when placed near a plasma ball.
Writing With a Metal Pin
- If you cover the plasma ball with aluminum foil then place a piece of paper on the aluminum foil, you can write on the paper with a metal pin or a sharp knife point. Whatever you write will be burned into the paper because of the interaction of the metal and the electric current.
Burning Paper Through Metal
- If you place a piece of conductive metal, such as a quarter, on top of a plasma ball, you can set a piece of paper or cardboard on fire. All you need to do is place another piece of metal, such as a paper clip, on top of the paper to conduct the electric current through the paper. A bolt of what appears to be miniature lightning will work its way through the paper, burning a hole in it.
Driving a Calculator Crazy
- If you place a simple calculator with an LED screen near a plasma ball, the numbers on the calculator will go crazy and start to change all by themselves. Don't try this trick with a valuable calculator, as the experiment may ruin the LED screen.
Shocking Your Friends
- If you touch a plasma ball with one hand and touch another person with the other, you will give the other person an electric shock. This is because your body becomes a conductor of electricity. Make sure to warn your friends before you try this trick on them.
Lighting a Match
- If you hold an unlit match a few inches over the top of a plasma ball then touch the end of the match with a pencil, the match will catch on fire. You may have to wait up to a minute for this to happen. Be very careful to blow out the match immediately and not allow the fire to spread.
Relighting the Plasma Ball
- You can relight a plasma ball briefly after it's been turned off by using your own body to conduct electricity. Place your hand on the plasma ball while it's on, then turn the ball off. Place your hand back on the plasma ball immediately, and you will see electric bolts flash up to your hand. Remove your hand and clap several times. With each clap, you should see more electric bolts run through the plasma ball, even though the electricity to the ball is turned off.
Safety With a Plasma Ball
- A plasma ball is a high-voltage electrical device and should be used with caution. The frequencies it emits may interfere with cell phones, Wi-Fi and cordless phones. Because the plasma ball emits electromagnetic radiation, it can interfere with pacemakers. All care should be taken if trying to use the plasma ball to create burning or fire effects, and nothing flammable should be left in contact with the plasma ball.

- 1 x Universe USB Operated Powered Desk Plasma Ball
- 1 x USB Cable

We Hear: Tesla Still Considering "Compelling" EV Under $40,000
I guess I'm 96, I'm at my office waiting for the tow truck.
I live in Texas and my ecoboost has act up twice and its a 2011 i got the truck new . I just turn it off and turn it back on and it goes away hope they do a recall on this soon and it has about 49,000 miles
3.5L V6 Ecoboost Problems? http://youtu.be/k_ETmWNlCBE
Ford will have the issue solved in short order. After they do so they will turn up the wick on this motor much to the dismay of the competition. The potential here is much greater than without the turbo option. The number of issues is small. All the Mopar and GM followers can say what they will but how many issue did the hemi have when introduced? How many will the new GM small block have? What is unique about Ford's situation is that the complaining customers had a place to put their anger...all this new and untried technology used for the first time in a truck. It is unconventional and therefore must be to blame. I have driven one...impressive is an understatement. I would not want to be a power-train engineer working for GM or Mopar and have the suits in the front office tell me we will be going after Ford WITHOUT a turbo motor..
I work for a Ford Dealership in Grande Prairie, AB and we are having a lot of issues with spark plugs and coils that cause this very problem. The plugs are getting cracked in the porcelain in the same spot on all of them about 10mm in length. We are not sure if the coils are causing the plugs to crack or the cracked plugs are burning out the coils since there has not been any official info released on the matter. Ford has an updated plug. The original is an SP.528 and the updated one is SP.534.
The first time I encountered this we ended up replacing a total of 13 spark plugs and 7 coils under warranty just to figure out that we needed to replace all coils and plugs. At that point the updated plugs were not available in Canada. That was the most extreme case so far. Since then, we have been using the updated plugs, replacing one or two at a time and there have been little to no combacks as of yet.
For actually getting work done I would take the tried and true V8 anyday, whether its a ford 5.0, dodge 5.7 or the chevy 6.2 idc, NA over turbo for a good reliable work truck.
If this is the first "major" issue to come out for the Ecoboost then I'd say that's a pretty solid set-up. GM, Chrysler, Toyota, and Nissan all have had much worse problems earlier on in production. It also sounds like this is a very rare occurrence 95/500,000. Also, under very humid conditions seems like the intercooler is working too well? causing rapid condensation inside the intercooler, but kinda doubt that. Could also be related to poor fuel quality, maybe too much ethanol? The ecoboost are only rated for E-10 the last time I checked and E-15 is common back east I hear. Needless to say I live in a fairly dry part of the country and don't own an ecoboost, but do own a few turbo'd vehicles and have never had any issues with well over 100k. I'm curious to see what the real problem is as I was looking into one of these after being in each of the big 3 while towing similar loads and the ecoboost proved to be as good as advertised.
i'm sure this issue will be rectified and ford and its cutomers will move on , ford will replace it free of charge and you'll have a better than ever truck afterwards !! And oh by the way dribbling fools, ford will continue its rain as the truck leader and sales champ in the US and Canada and UK and the others will continue to try and dethrone them to no avail
Ok...I own a 2012 F150 Eco Boost. I have experienced this issue with my truck. It has nothing to do with the engine. I actually fixed the problem on accident. The "loss of power" occurs when the engine stays above 3500 rpm. Basically, its the stock exhaust system being too restrictive. My truck was completely stock; then I installed a 4 inch cat back exhaust system because it was going to give me 38 hp and 50 ft/lbs of torque. After installation and driving it to work on the freeway, I noticed the "power loss" in the high rpm range was gone...I know this post is going to get lost on this website, but for those who read it and know people with Ford Eco Boost trucks, tell them to get rid of the stock exhaust system. I bought the Hearthrob Exhaust from Summit racing for $400. It's awesome and I highly recommend it...
95 complaints out of 400,000 would be about 0.024% of the vehicles sold in the US alone! Everybody panic! Geeze, let me know when there is at least 1%, then MAYBE we can poke fun at Ford. The only thing you have less chance of doing is winning the lottery as opposed to buying a defective EcoBoost.
All it needs is a new intercooler, in my knowledge that's really just an aluminum piece with no moving parts. Of yea big worries huh!
Stupid fools there's a reason why GM built a twin turbo sixer like fords, to catch up!!
This engine and its various cooling systems (including intake) needed to be extremely overbuilt to take hard truck duties. That's a lot of trust to put in a new setup. This sounds like a heatsoak issue which was always the big question mark people had when the ecoboost came out in the F-Series.
As I've said for a while I WILL NOT recommend the purchase of any EcoBoost powered Ford until they have several years of RELIABLE long term usage (after a couple of years of dealing with the garbage 6.0 Power Strokes in our shop).
I'm not a 'fan boy' of any truck but I really don't get why people hype this truck so much. I would take a new silverado/sierra or ram based on both design and drive-train options. With that said the grill on the f-150 has got to go it looks like a giant parenthesis and = sign stuck together.
I should clarify. It was actually a swiss engineer that developed turbocharging. That's what I meant when I said GM invented turbocharging. My boss at the dealership monitors our postings. I managed to send this out on my iphone on my lunch break.
Just another reason to stay away from Ford's new Tech! Have you read about all the issues with the EcoBoost in the Fusion and other models??? I say if you are gonna put a turbo on it, it needs to be Diesel! If you are looking for pwr and econ, buy a Diesel.
My uncle has a 96 ram diesel dually, and with over 400k miles on the diesel, he gets almost 30mpg around town and 35 on the highway. The older a diesel gets (if well maintained) the better the milage... AND you will never need to worry if you can tow that load or not!
Let the fanboy wars begin.....
I have been saying this for a while now and all the Ford boys have been in denial, a little weed eater engine with 2 blow dryers strapped to it will not be reliable and durable and it certainly wont be able to go 100k miles without serious issues.
GM invented the turbo charged engine and they have chosen not to use them for their trucks and their decision was correct, a V8 is more reliable and easier/cheaper to maintain than a turbocharged engine. The Ecoboost is a gimmick that Ford fans have fallen for it.
The 3.5 ecoboost will join the 6.0 Powerstroke as being a huge joke and a big waste of money for Ford buyers, but they still wont learn.
When I was truck shopping last year I was looking at the F150 and Ram and chose the Ram because I felt I could trust the Hemi a lot more than the Ecoboost. I would never trust any brand new powertrain like this, until they've had a few years to work out the bugs. Plus it's a Ford so given their track record in the last 10 years or so, new tech, usually means teething problems.
I work at a ford dealer, and there is a tsb for this issue. The tsb (technical service bulletin) says to replace the intercooler. I've seen the old intercoolers removed and we've found them to have a large amount of water in them.
Wow, were are all those GM haters now that said they were way behind and Ford EcoBoost would blow everyone out of the water. This article if for you guys. Keep with the small block GM and Chrysler with the HEMI
I never got any of those problems while driving my 5.4L V8 powered F-150 or my Hemi V8 Ram 1500

i wana know the complete process like
n this case, VCS monitors the NetBackup application on active node at all times and if NetBackup becomes unavailable, VCS will detect this failure, it will gracefully stop everything, unmount the Shared volume from active node, mount on the Passive node and start netbackup there. The failed node can be now worked upon for disaster recovery and backups will be interrupted for just a few minutes.
How this LUN is created and the location?
"i wana know the complete process"
Again - this is a VCS question. Not NetBackup.
See VCS forum in 'Storage and Clustering community'.
"How this LUN is created and the location?"
This is a question for your array support team. Not NetBackup.

Handy NBU Links
Very difficult question - what happens is different if I am using VCS on Solaris than if I am using ServiceGuard on HP ...
For example, if I have a clustered application (not necessarily NBU) on an HP metro cluster using an XP array, the filesystem is made readonly on the array on the failing side, and read/write on the failover side, using XP array commands, which is different to what happens if you have a shared disk, which is unmounted from one disk, and mounted on the other.
**NOTE. Above is basic description of details, can't remember the very exact details.
To get the exact details of what VCS does to achive this - please check on the VCS forum, as I will be honest, I have absolutley no idea, as when I do it it works ... If one day it does not, I will look into why, until then I have too many other things to learn about.
The VCS forum will be your friend ...

With the Longhorns kicking off their first full varsity season and the Wildcats playing a regular-season, non-region game for the first time since 2007, there will be a lot of unknowns Friday.
"It's not one of those deals where we follow them a lot, and they probably didn't follow us much," Apalachee coach Shane Davis said. "So, we really don't know (what to expect)."
Actually, a look at Apalachee's game film from any year during Davis' tenure should give Lanier coach Billy Wells and his staff a pretty idea of what to expect from the Wildcats -- a hard-nosed running attack, paced by running backs Zay Henry and Eric Tanner, who combined for over 1,400 yards and 13 TDs last season.
Wells is also wary of the potential of QB Clint Ashe and WR Jermaine Smith.
"They will definitely run the football," Wells said. "But their quarterback has a big-time arm, too."
For the Longhorns, the goal after two years of playing mainly JV teams is to demonstrate they are ready to play under Friday night lights every week. For that, they will rely on experienced players like seniors Onyx Berrios, Taylor Grant, Chauncey West and Isidore Sam.
-- Last meeting: First meeting
-- Directions to Lanier High School: From I-85, go west on Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road and turn right onto Buford Highway. School is on the left. (Stadium info)
