Ok it's not completely finished but it is functional.
Attachment 48278
The window is blocked out right now but I'm building a ventilation system that will fit in it. Since it's only useable at night I'm going to build some light walls around the space too. It's a work in progress but at least I can print now and hey, it's got a Godzilla poster too. :cool:
I like your Poster, but I might suggest putting dark cloth on the walls you are close to as to avoid reflection off the walls from the enlarger light. It can cause a bit of fogging on the paper or a loss of local contrast in the image.
I'm adding an example...
See the first or 7th picture as an example of what I am talking about.
If you can't you will live without it, but I think that close to the corner you will see a difference.
Great start!
Thanks for the tip, Robert. I'll give that a try.
What kind of material would you suggest? Just something black? We have a pretty good fabric store here maybe I'll pay them a visit to see what they have.
Nice darkroom by the way. :cool:
My private darkroom from when i was a student... :(
The room is no longer there.
Any flat (non shiny) fabric will work, if you can get flat black poster board, that would work too, but get what ever is easiest to store and the cheapest.
Thanks for the kind words about the darkroom. Stop by for a little workshop sometime. I was just through your neck of the woods. Lovely place. I'll drop you an email next time Im out that way.
When i was there i was the only student actually using the private room as a darkroom for processing and not as another storage unit... So i guess its not that much of a shame.
I remember taking a tour on that floor as a prospective student 2 years prior, and they had a mural printing room with a magnetized and vacuum wall for UL prints, an 8X10 enlarger on a dolly rail and all the gear... that was gone by the time i got there to make room for a new digital printing room...
Who cares about all those rich kids anyways, let them shoot their holgas and be art students.
If you want/need total overkill at a matching price, then consider telescope flocking. Here's an example page for Protostar's flocking products, you can find others via web search.

SEO PowerSuite
Many novice link builders focus solely on linking to a site's home page. It's a rookie mistake to be sure, one I've seen committed numerous times.
I understand the mentality behind it: the home page is the welcome mat to the entire site. It's the page that leads to every other page, and it's the one that most carries the weight of your brand.
Realistically though, linking to your home page isn't always going to make sense. Not only will it result in some shoehorned links, but it's poor SEO practice. Building links exclusively to a home page may seem like a surefire way to raise the authority of your site, but ignoring all of the other pages makes for an unnatural backlink portfolio.
Think about it this way: it takes a complete team to win a Super Bowl. No team that has only one all-star mixed in with an assortment of wash-ups and draft disappointments is going to take home the Lombardi Trophy. The teams that minimize their position gaps are the teams that win championships.
This is why it's so vital to build links to pages beyond your home page. This practice is called deep linking. There are several different strategies that will help you acquire deep links naturally… Here are a few of them.
Resource citations
A blog on your site is a great asset. Not only is it a great for spreading your message, but it's also a great for link building.
Creating unique, interesting content on your own blog will allow you to build a citation link when writing a guest post.
Let's say you are looking to build links for an entertainment news site. On your site, you have a blog where you published a piece about actors that were rumored to be featured in the recently concluded Batman trilogy.
Now let's say you're writing a guest post you would like to publish about the history of the Batman villain Penguin. Here's a way you could link to your blog.
The interpretation of the Penguin has varied from medium to medium. Indeed, interpretations have shifted within just one specific medium. In the Adam West Batman film, Burgess Meredith adheres closely to the comic book pages of the time, and plays the campy, over the top mobster version of Penguin. In "Batman Returns," Danny Devito at plays him more as a deformed man who has been ostracized from society. One can only wonder what Philip Seymour Hoffman's interpretation may have been.
Not only have you cited your source, you've successfully spread link equity to the blog on your domain.
A citation link can be used for more than just a blog post though: you can deep link to a product page as well.
Let's say you were writing your final paper for your history course about Custer's Last Stand. An excerpt from your paper would look like the following:
Footnotes are hardly conducive for readability on the web. The natural way to cite a source on the web, at least in terms of user experience, would be to link to the product page for the book on the publisher's domain.
This is when you would turn the lifted quote into a long tail anchor. It indicates to the reader that the quote is from the author of that book. For example:
One of President Grant's first actions in office was his appointment of Ely Parker, a member of the Seneca Tribe, to be the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Parker was the first Native American to assume the role. It was a signal on Grant's part to the indigenous people that he dreamed of an era of peace and cooperation. But as it turned out, Parker lasted only a few years before a toxic mixture of greed and politics poisoned every one of Grant's best intentions.
Not only have you cited your source, you've successfully spread link juice to a product page on your domain.
Fresh Mentions
Fresh mention opportunities are some of the greatest links available. They are links just waiting to be built. A fresh mention is a mention of your brand, website, url, etc. on a page that you yourself did not create.
The goal then is to leverage these mentions into a deep link by reaching out to whoever mentioned you. So let's say your client is a book publisher, Panda Books. They've published a biography on General Custer that they are marketing, "Custer's First Stand: The Battle of Hanover."

How and when yo talk about vegan with kids?
Comments (5)
I was about her age when someone told me that the meat that we were eating was dead animal. I was traumatized. From then on, my parents forced meat on me. Have you told her what it is? That will probably make this easier. Just don't be too graphic, just honest.
Our DD is 21 months old. She has a mild milk allergy and cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity effects every single person in my and DH's extended family. We are beating those odds being vegan. Avoiding those illnesses and all the difficulties that come along far outweigh the risk that your daughter will never eat cafeteria food and god forbid.. order her pizza without cheese at a birthday party. Things like that get complicated if you don't know what to expect.
Cow milk is for baby cows. There is no doubt about that. I think she will understand that part if she is at all familiar with breastfeeding.
DD will abslutely be different from her friends. We live in the South where people hunt and have "BEEF" bumper stickers. But we do a lot of things differently and I want her to know the reason for every little thing we do. I obviously haven't had to explain anything to our LO yet, but it's something I think about often. Congratulations on the life change btw!
"When you know better, you do better." - Maya Angelou
And I definitely recommend thesweetestvegan.com for omnivorish vegan food. It's all very yummy.
"When you know better, you do better." - Maya Angelou
I think when they ask is when its time to talk about it. I am veggie and like 95% vegan (I am sure I have a slip up here and there as I don't religiously read everything, but eat mostly raw foods) but DH and DD are meat eaters. Its a personal decision and one that I make more for health reasons than for ethical ones. Also vegans don't believe in keeping any animal caged for "human betterment" and we have 3 cats which are def. stress relief for me eg "human betterment"
I am still navigating the change for our family as well so I don't have too much advice for you. I can share a few books that I found that might be helpful and I can share what we do as well.
The books I currently have on my wishlist are "That's Why We Don't Eat Animals" and "Vegan is Love", both by Ruby Roth. Also, "Raising Vegetarian Children" - you can find reviews for all of them on Amazon and decide about them for yourself.
I have a 12 yr old, 5 yr old and a 1 yr old ... and began the transition to vegetarian about 2 years ago. We also eliminated a lot of dairy, but still eat some (Yogurt and cheese) and we also eat eggs still. My hope is to get to where we are completely plant-based at home in 2013.
I won't tell you it's been an easy transition for the 12 yr old ... I often get screamed at for "making her so different" and that kind of stuff. That's not only diet related, but crunchier efforts overall.
As for diet choices, I maintain a vegetarian home - when everyone is out and about, they can eat as they please. If they want to order chicken nuggets or a burger, I don't prohibit them. If they slept over their friends house, I don't expect them to ask the host family to make special food for them. If there is pizza at the school party, they eat it. We just do the best we can at home. I can only hope that when she's older and on her own, she will embrace a plant-based lifestyle for health, environmental and ethical reasons. But right now, fitting in is so much more important in her world and that's okay.
I struggle with my 5 yr old with how much to tell her and letting her decide for herself. She is funny ... occasionally I make the fake stuff for dinner and she'll say "is this a cow?" and I'll reassure her that it is not. But, if she's at Grandma's and there's a plateful of bacon for breakfast, she'll grab a handful and not even care if I tell her it's pig. Oh well ... she will find her way as well and I just try not to stress too much when I am in a situation I can't control.
Sorry, this ended up quite long! Best of luck to you on your journey.

My Name is Patrick and I was born, raised and still live in a small town outside of Philly, called Springfield. And yes I do get great enjoyment from living in the same town as the Simpsons. At the movement I am Senior at West Chester University trying to finish up a Criminal Justice Degree.
As Far as my personality goes I am kind of a big goof, well not in size. I try constantly to think of a joke to bring a laugh and a smile to someone's face. I'm every laid back and I am willing to try almost anything. If I could I would take Andrew Zimmern's job in a heart beat. I try to be kind and thoughtful to everyone I meet in the world but I will concede I have my off days.
I'm kind of a nerd. I enjoy really anything that involves science, or long in depth decision that require some thought. Also anything outdoorsy, hiking, fishing, I try to stay active. I'm a little bit of a night owl, my normal betty by time is like 4 or 5 in the morning.
WARNING: I am not the best writer in the world so this only reflects a small part of me and grammar/ sentence structure is not my strong suit. Please look past any mistakes that during this profile.

U.S. senators unveil immigration reform plan
Schumer said that the 11 million people now here illegally without a criminal record would have a legal right to stay in the country immediately after passage of the legislation.
However, the senators' outline would require new border security measures before any undocumented workers could pursue a path to citizenship, and those seeking that path would have to get in line behind legal immigrants. The senators said agricultural workers and the children of undocumented residents would have an accelerated process.
McCain said more Republicans may support the effort now because the GOP is "losing the support of our Hispanic citizens" in elections.
Oklahoma's senators were not ready to comment Monday on the proposals. Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Muskogee, and Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, strongly opposed the legislation in 2007 and helped block its passage.
Reaction to proposals
Some lawmakers came out against the blueprint, including Sen. Jeff Sessions, of Alabama, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee.
Sessions said "a large-scale amnesty is likely to add trillions of dollars to the debt over time, accelerate Medicare's and Social Security's slide into insolvency, and put enormous strain on our public assistance programs.
"We know already that the administration refuses to enforce existing law restricting immigrant welfare use, and in fact promotes expanded welfare use to immigrants — including food stamps, public housing and Medicaid."
The proposals were endorsed by some business and labor leaders, along with some religious organizations that have been pushing for comprehensive reform.
Richard Land, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, said, "The senators have introduced principles for a bill that has a true chance of passing. I think they sense this is a real opportunity."

Popular Antioxidant Seems to Spread Skin Cancer Cells in Mouse Research
Popular Antioxidant Seems to Spread Skin Cancer Cells in Mouse Research WEDNESDAY, Oct. 7, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- A man-made antioxidant appears to accelerate the spread of skin cancer in mice, raising questions about its safety in humans, researchers say. The antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine, is used to relieve mucus production in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), said study senior author Martin Bergo, a professor at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. It also is used as a ...

PTSD Can Affect Female Vietnam War Vets, Too: Study WEDNESDAY, Oct. 7, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Women who served in Vietnam may be at far greater risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than female military service members who were stationed in the United States during that war, a new study finds. "Because current PTSD is still present in many of these women decades after their military service, clinicians who treat them should continue to screen for PTSD symptoms and be sensitive to their noncom...

Blacks and Hispanics spend approximately 25 percent more time seeking health care than whites. People also spend more time in a doc's waiting room if they're unemployed, in a low-paying job or never attended college, the study found. Researchers s...

The depression risk may be driven more by concerns about appearance than by the actual status of the skin, said study author Dr. Roger Ho, an assistant professor in the department of dermatology at New York University School of Medicine. "One small area of [psoriasis]...

Protein S (Blood)
Protein S (Blood) What is this test? This test measures levels of protein S, a protein in the blood that helps prevent blood clots. Protein S works along with another protein in the blood, called protein C, to help your blood clot normally. If you don't have enough protein S in your blood, you have a condition called a protein S deficiency. This means that your blood may clot too much. Protein S deficiency is usually an inherited condition. You can inherit the abnormal, or mutated, gene that reduces the...
Proinsulin (Blood)
Proinsulin (Blood) Does this test have other names? No. What is this test? This blood test measures proinsulin, a building block for insulin. To turn food into energy, your pancreas makes proinsulin. Proinsulin, in turn, is made into insulin and another protein called C-peptide. Problems making insulin can lead to diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, your pancreas becomes damaged and has trouble making or controlling the amount of insulin in your body. In type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body become...
Preventing MRSA in Athletes

Millions of people see their doctor for MRSA skin infections e...
Preventing Opportunistic Infections in HIV/AIDS
Preventing Opportunistic Infections in HIV/AIDS HIV attacks the cells of your body's immune system. You need a strong immune system to fight off germs like bacteria and viruses, so having HIV may give those germs a better opportunity to make you sick. When germs take advantage of your weakened defense system, they are called opportunistic infections. Opportunistic infections that other people might fight off easily could make you really sick if you have HIV. Getting one or more of these infections could...
Patient-Controlled Analgesia Pumps
Patient-Controlled Analgesia Pumps Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is a method of pain management that allows you to decide when you will get a dose of pain medicine. In some situations, PCA may be a better way of providing pain relief than calling for someone — typically a nurse — to administer pain medicine. You don't need to wait for a nurse, and you can get smaller doses of pain medicine more often. With this type of pain treatment, a needle attached to an intravenous (IV) line is placed into 1 o...
Palliative Care Methods for Controlling Pain
Palliative Care Methods for Controlling Pain Palliative care is used to manage a disease or medical condition that is serious or life-threatening, primarily by easing pain and other associated physical, emotional, or psychosocial symptoms. Palliative care also eases other distressing symptoms, like depression, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, and shortness of breath.

Pregnancy and Oral Health
Pregnancy and Oral Health Throughout pregnancy, women may worry about their waistlines and fret about food. You take prenatal vitamins, see your healthcare provider often, get regular exercise, and avoid alcohol and smoking — all in the name of a healthy pregnancy. And, ultimately, a healthy baby. Something you might not associate with a healthy pregnancy is dental care. But regular dental checkups and cleanings, along with brushing and flossing often, are important for a healthy mouth and a healthy pre...
Palliative Care: Bringing Comfort
Palliative Care: Bringing Comfort When people hear the term palliative care , many assume that it's a treatment only for someone who is dying. But palliative care can also be used to bring physical and emotional comfort to anyone with a serious illness. Palliative care can benefit any patient at any age. And any stage of his or her illness. Overview Palliative care focuses on improving a patient's quality of life by improving the symptoms of his or her illness, like pain, shortness of breath, and diffic...

Pregnancy and Skin Changes
Pregnancy and Skin Changes For many women, pregnancy brings glowing skin, rosy cheeks, and shiny hair. Others, however, can experience skin changes that aren't so attractive, including acne, dark spots, and stretch marks. Here are some of the common skin conditions in pregnancy, along with some practical tips on managing those that can be troublesome. Acne Increased blood flow and oil production are the factors behind the radiant pregnancy glow. That radiance sometimes comes with a price, as the increas...
Poliomyelitis Previous generations of Americans had reason to fear poliomyelitis, most often called polio. The disease, which is spread by a virus, can leave people paralyzed. The disease is now rare in the U.S. because of a vaccine against the virus. The only countries where polio continues as an ongoing problem are India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria. Some people do get it while traveling to a region where the disease still occurs. Facts about disease The disease is spread through the feces or m...
Portal Hypertension
Portal Hypertension Portal hypertension is high blood pressure of the portal vein. The portal vein is in your stomach. It collects nutrient-rich blood from your intestines and carries it to the liver. The liver cleans the blood for your body to use. When you have portal hypertension, the increased pressure means it is harder for the blood from the liver to flow through the portal vein to travel back to the heart. This means it has to use smaller veins in the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. The body ...
Pancreas Transplantation
Pancreas Transplantation Pancreas transplantation is a type of surgery in which you receive a healthy donor pancreas. A pancreas transplant is an option for some people with type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas stops producing the hormone insulin. The usual treatment for type 1 diabetes involves daily injections of insulin. During a pancreas transplant, you'll receive a healthy pancreas from a donor who has died. If you have kidney failure from your diabetes, y...
Pneumoconiosis Pneumoconiosis is one of a group of interstitial lung diseases caused by breathing in certain kinds of dust particles that damage your lungs. Because you are likely to encounter these dusts only in the workplace, pneumoconiosis is called an occupational lung disease. Pneumoconiosis usually take years to develop. Because your lungs can't get rid of all these dust particles, they cause inflammation in your lungs that can eventually lead to scar tissue. Types of pneumoconiosis The disease ap...
Pregnancy and Heartburn
Pregnancy and Heartburn Chances are good that you're 1 of many pregnant women who experience the churning and burning of heartburn or acid indigestion. It typically hits somewhere in the second or third trimester, and it can be miserable. Heartburn doesn't really mean your heart is burning, but it's a good description of the discomfort that begins behind the breastbone. It then moves upward to the neck and throat. Officially, heartburn is known as gastroesophageal reflux, when acidic stomach juices or f...

The Haunting is a 1999 remake of the 1963 horror film of the same name. Both films are based on the 1959 novel, The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. The Haunting was directed by Jan de Bont and stars Liam Neeson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Owen Wilson and Lili Taylor. It was released in the United States on July 23, 1999.
Eleanor "Nell" Lance (Lili Taylor) has cared for her invalid mother for 11 years. After her mother dies, her sister Jane (Virginia Madsen) and Jane's boyfriend Lou (Tom Irwin) eject her. Nell receives a phone call about an insomnia study, directed by Dr. David Marrow (Liam Neeson) at Hill House, a secluded manor in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, and applies for it. At the house, she meets Mr. and Mrs. Dudley (Bruce Dern, Marian Seldes), a strange pair of caretakers. Two other participants arrive, Luke Sanderson (Owen Wilson) and Theodora (Catherine Zeta-Jones), along with Dr. Marrow and his two research assistants. Unknown to the participants, Dr. Marrow's true purpose is to study the psychological response to fear, intending to expose his subjects to increasing amounts of terror. Each night, the caretakers chain the gate outside Hill House, preventing anyone from getting in or out until morning. During their first night, Dr. Marrow relates the story of Hill House. The house was built by Hugh Crain (Charles Gunning)—a 19th-century textile tycoon.
Crain built the house for his wife, hoping to populate it with a large family of children; however, all of Crain's children died during their birth. Crain's wife Renee killed herself before the house was finished and Crain became a recluse. After the story, Marrow's assistant's face is slashed by a snapped clavichord wire. The freak accident causes Marrow's research assistants to leave. Nell begins to suspect that it was no accident, as she notices that the wire was unwound by someone or something. Theo and Nell begin to experience unusual happenings within the house, such as a mysterious force trying to open the door to harm them, Nell starts seeing ghosts of children in curtains and sheets, Hugh Crain's wood portrait morphs into a skeletal face and is vandalized with the words "Welcome Home Eleanor" written in blood. Theo and Luke try to establish their innocence, but Nell tells them that they don't know her.
Nell becomes determined to prove that the house is haunted by ghostly children who are only terrorized and killed by Crain's cruelty. She learns that Crain kidnapped the children from his cotton mills and slaughtered them, then burned their own bodies in the fireplace, trapping their ghosts and forcing them to remain with him, providing him with an 'eternal family'. She also learns that Crain had a second wife named Carolyn, from whom she is descended. Dr. Marrow is skeptical of Eleanor's claims, until he realizes he made a horrible mistake by bringing them to Hill House when a statue tries to drown him in a pool of water in a greenhouse. After several more terrifying events, Nell insists that she cannot leave the ghosts of the kids to suffer for eternity at Crain's hands. Trying to convince the obviously mentally-unbalanced Eleanor to leave the house with them, Theo offers to let Nell move in with her, but Nell reveals her relation to Carolyn and claims she must help the children to "move on" to the afterlife.
Hugh Crain's ghost seals up the house, trapping them all inside. A frustrated Luke defaces a portrait of Hugh Crain. Crain's enraged spirit drags Luke to the fireplace where he is decapitated. Nell is able to lead Crain's spirit towards an iron door. The spirits pull Crain into the door, dragging him down to Hell. Nell is pulled with him, inflicting fatal trauma on her body, but the ghosts gently release her on the ground. Her ghost rises up to Heaven, accompanied by the ghosts. After Nell's death and when she moved on to Heaven along with the ghosts, Theo and Dr. Marrow wait by the gate outside until the Dudleys come in the morning.
The Dudleys approach as the sun rises. Mr. Dudley asks Dr. Marrow if he found what he wanted to know, but the traumatized psychiatrist does not give an answer, and neither does Theo. When the gate opens, the two silently walk out and down the road, leaving Hill House behind them.

Wes Craven was at one point developing a remake of The Haunting, but dropped out in favor of Scream. Under DreamWorks, the film was originally to have been a collaboration between Steven Spielberg (mainly, as director) and Stephen King (as screenwriter), but the two had creative differences. King instead wrote the teleplay for Rose Red, a television miniseries that shares many elements with Jackson's source novel, The Haunting of Hill House, and the character of the real-life edifice Winchester Mystery House, in San Jose, California.
Argentine production designer Eugenio Zanetti (Restoration - 1995 and What Dreams May Come - 1998) oversaw the set designs.
The CGI was done by Tippett Studio and Industrial Light and Magic.
Harlaxton Manor, in England, was used as the exterior of Hill House. The billiard room scene was filmed in the Great Hall of the manor, while many of the interior sets were built inside the dome-shaped hangar that once housed The Spruce Goose, near the permanently docked RMS Queen Mary steamship, in Long Beach, California. The kitchen scenes were filmed at Belvoir Castle.
Critical reception[edit]
The Haunting was panned upon its release, with most critics citing its weak screenplay, its overuse of horror clichés, and its overdone CGI effects. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a "Rotten" rating of 17%, with the critical consensus stating "Sophisticated visual effects fail to offset awkward performances and an uneven script". As a result of the negative reviews, it was nominated for five Razzie Awards.[1] Roger Ebert was one of few critics to give the film a positive review, praising the production design in particular.[2]
The film was a moderate success. The Haunting grossed $33,435,140 over its opening weekend domestically,Daily Variety noted that, as of 1999, The Haunting had the "dubious distinction of becoming the film with the biggest opening ever to gross less than $100 million domestically".[3] The film earned $91.2 million domestically and $85.9 million outside North America.[4] With only half of all box office receipts going back to the studio (the rest is given to theater owners),[5] the film made about $88.5 million. This covered its $80 million budget,[6] allowing the studio to break even.[7] It also cost its $10 million domestic TV advertising campaign[8] or other costs (such as international advertising, non-TV advertising, percentage payments to actors or crew, or prints) and the other coats are covered by various home video formats, so a film generally has to make twice its budget back to break even.[9]

Movie Info
The first of Polish director Andrzej Wajda's two "Solidarity" films, Man of Marble (originally Czlowiek z Marmuru) concerns bricklayer Mateusz Birkut (Jerzy Radziwilowicz). Lauded as a national hero in the 1950s due to his skills at his trade, Birkut has inexplicably fallen into obscurity. In making a film of the bricklayer's life, documentary director Agnieszka (Krystyna Janda) discovers that the bricklayer used his sudden fame to become involved in labor politics -- whereupon the repressive government did its best to wipe out all traces of his accomplishments. This climactic revelation was, ironically, excised by the Polish censors when Man of Marble was first released. Director Wajda followed this film with Man of Iron, which traced the further political exploits of director Agnieszka and her husband, the son of the unfortunate bricklayer -- also played by Jerzy Radziwilowicz. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi … More

Starred Review. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, lamented St. Paul, and this engrossing scientific interpretation of traditional lore backs him up with hard data. Citing Plato, Buddha and modern brain science, psychologist Haidt notes the mind is like an "elephant" of automatic desires and impulses atop which conscious intention is an ineffectual "rider." Haidt sifts Eastern and Western religious and philosophical traditions for other nuggets of wisdom to substantiate—and sometimes critique—with the findings of neurology and cognitive psychology. The Buddhist-Stoic injunction to cast off worldly attachments in pursuit of happiness, for example, is backed up by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's studies into pleasure. And Nietzsche's contention that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger is considered against research into post-traumatic growth. An exponent of the "positive psychology" movement, Haidt also offers practical advice on finding happiness and meaning. Riches don't matter much, he observes, but close relationships, quiet surroundings and short commutes help a lot, while meditation, cognitive psychotherapy and Prozac are equally valid remedies for constitutional unhappiness. Haidt sometimes seems reductionist, but his is an erudite, fluently written, stimulating reassessment of age-old issues. (Jan.)

Using the wisdom culled from the world's greatest civilizations as a foundation, social psychologist Haidt comes to terms with 10 Great Ideas, viewing them through a contemporary filter to learn which of their lessons may still apply to modern lives. He first discusses how the mind works and then examines the Golden Rule ("Reciprocity is the most important tool for getting along with people"). Next, he addresses the issue of happiness itself--where does it come from?--before exploring the conditions that allow growth and development. He also dares to answer the question that haunts most everyone--What is the meaning of life?--by again drawing on ancient ideas and incorporating recent research findings. He concludes with the question of meaning: Why do some find it? Balancing ancient wisdom and modern science, Haidt consults great minds of the past, from Buddha to Lao Tzu and from Plato to Freud, as well as some not-so-greats: even Dr. Phil is mentioned. Fascinating stuff, accessibly expressed. June Sawyers

We say almost identical because there are a few changes, likely developed during testing of prototype versions. For example, the fog light surrounds have been toned down and new vents added to the hood. The rear diffuser is also not as aggressive as on the concept, and it appears the fighter jet afterburner-inspired tail-lights don't extend out as far. The production version also sports indicators and reflectors.
Like the concept, the production version will sit on a lightweight aluminum chassis (of unknown origin). Power will come from a mid-mounted 3.5-liter V-6 delivering at least 375 horsepower, and drive will be sent to the rear wheels only via a six-speed automatic transmission. Inside, you'll find Spyker's signature design elements such as a machine-turned aluminum dash, quilted leather trim, and an exposed gearshift mechanism that runs the length of the cabin.
Deliveries of the new B6 Venator are scheduled to commence spring 2015. Pricing is yet to be announced but Spyker has previously said the cars will cost between $125,000 and $150,000. If you're interested in getting your hands on one of the first examples, you can reserve one via a unique bond program where each of 100 planned Spyker Venator Bonds issued will come with a chassis number.

The 348 participants involved in the Internet-based weight maintenance phase of this study had a body mass index of 25 or higher (a BMI of 25 is considered overweight, over 30 is considered obese), and were considered high risk for cardiovascular disease because they either had high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
The Web site was available to the study volunteers for 30 months. The site was designed to support weight maintenance efforts through:
After 28 months, 65 percent of the study participants were still actively logging on, according to the study. Fifty percent of the study volunteers logged on at least 107 times and spent over 400 minutes on the Web site, with each session lasting an average of 3 to 5 minutes.
If the study participants didn't record their weight at least once a week, they would receive email reminders to check in.
"Participants who used the site most often and consistently throughout the study had better weight maintenance results than those who didn't use it as often. Consistency and accountability are key," said Funk. She added that the social support from others available on the site, as well as its interactive content, likely also played roles in weight maintenance success.
Round-the-clock access was key, too. "Personal counseling is probably the Cadillac of weight loss and weight maintenance plans, but the availability of the Internet was a big part of the success here. The Web site was available 24/7," she noted.

Hi I am using swfupload with jqueryui datepicker. 1. Open the datepicker 2. Close or leave the datepicker 3. click the upload button (which is swf and in html shown as tag.
The problem only occurs in IE9 which is an jquery ui exeption -> Missing instance data for this datepicker.
When I debugged it, the problem occurs at this point. -> return $.data(a,PROP_NAME) a is object element, and PROP_NAME is just a string 'datepicker'
when I just type that to IE7, 8 and chrome, they return undefined cause there is no data named 'datepicker' binded to that object.. but IE9 throws exception.
I did some googling and couldnt find any discussions about this.
I was thinking of covering the object element with span and when a click event occurs in that span, dynamically trigger an click event to the swf object.. but to do that I think Im gonna need some external stuff... so I am leaving it out..
Anyone has any idea how to figure it out? or some advice?

"Small in stature, but mighty in spirit." The famous Sable Island Horses descended from livestock Thomas Hancock of Boston sent to the Island in 1760. It is thought that Hancock helped himself to horses belonging to the deported Acadians, horses he was paid to transport to the American colonies.
Around 200 wild horses roam the dunes and marram grass on Sable Island. The once domesticated horses returned to their natural social system of small herds, each defended by a stallion and led by an older herd mare. Each herd has a range of about 3 square kilometres, with 40 to 50 herds on the Island.
When winter arrives, bringing with it snow and freezing rain, the herd mare huddles the herd close together for warmth. The horses grow thick, woolly coats and search out protection in the hollows between the sand dunes. The population is characterized by rapid growth, interrupted by periodic crashes every few years. After several mild winters, the population will increase, but many old or very young horses will die during the next harsh winter.
Other than on Sable Island, Nova Scotia's wildlife parks are the only other place in the world where a person can see these sturdy little horses. In 1960, the Federal Crown Assets Disposal Corporation put these horses up for sale. It was believed they were stunted due to inbreeding and lack of food. The horses were to be taken off Sable Island before they starved to death and used for something functional, such as dog food or glue.
Many children wrote to then Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, who intervened and protected the horses from all human interference. Today, the Sable Island Horses are still protected by the Sable Island Regulations, which fall under the Canada Shipping Act.

CAIRO — A bishop from the Nile Delta was chosen to lead the Coptic Orthodox Church on Sunday in a ceremony resonant with tradition but marked by anxiety over heightening tensions between Christians and Muslims across Egypt.
Bishop Tawadros became the church's 118th pope after his name was selected from three finalists at a Mass in St. Mark's Cathedral in Cairo. He succeeds Pope Shenouda III, who died in March after four decades as patriarch of the largest Christian community in the Middle East. Copts comprise about 10 percent of Egypt's population.
Tawadros inherits a church uneasy over simmering sectarianism and the rise of hard-line Islamists. Many wonder if he will choose to be a vibrant voice for a Christian community that has endured recent church burnings, deadly attacks and fears that Copts will be further isolated by the government of President Mohamed Morsi.

A report released Tuesday by the New York City Department of Health (DOH) showed that buildings using the dirtiest heating oils-No. 4 and No. 6-are a major cause of the city's high air pollution levels. New York burns two out of every three gallons of this sludge used for heating in the United States. The DOH report shows the worst air pollution in the areas with the highest concentration of sludge burning buildings. The Upper East Side and Upper West Side are the areas with the highest concentration of sludge burning buildings in the city.
Some of the City's most iconic structures burn No. 6 oil in their boilers, including: the Flatiron Building (at 5th Avenue and 23rd St. in Manhattan), San Remo (at Central Park West between 74th and 75th streets), The Dakota (Central Park West at 72nd St.) and The Beresford (211 Central Park West).
The city has consistently received a failing grade for its air quality from the federal government in recent years. The hospitalization rate of children with asthma in the city is twice the national average.

Gov. John Kasich has limited legal options to impose new taxes or fees on Ohio's future casinos, but his timing is perfect for pressing the fight.
A growing rift between the governor and developers of the state's four incoming casinos centers on the tax structure voters approved in 2009. Ohioans amended the state constitution to require casinos to pay a 33 percent tax on gambling revenues, all usual business taxes and a one-time $50 million licensing fee.
Trying now to raise more money -- as Kasich intends to do -- would be time-consuming and legally exhausting, an Enquirer analysis finds. The ...

Roger L. Simon is right (he's always right); leadership is crucial, and when leadership is rotten the whole body politic rots and stinks. Our biggest problem is rotten leadership. Until and unless we fix that, we're gonna have lots of trouble. Of all sorts.
SIDEBAR: This is why I have no patience for so many of my friends who constantly say the president has the right to choose his team (whether a new "czar" or a new judge or justice or a secretary of something or other). If the choice is bad, we should say so and fight it. Good leaders are worth fighting for and bad leaders have to be challenged.
BACK TO SERMON: Roger understands the way the system works by saying that the FBI's failure to look carefully and long enough at Tamerlan-the-terrorist has a lot to do with our leaders' reluctance to call a terrorist a terrorist or to accept the fact that radical Islamist terrorists exist. The people who do counterterrorism shy away from seeing such terrorists, or potential terrorists, because if they point to such people, several bad things (from the investigators' and analysts' standpoint) happen. First, the policy makers aren't going to do anything; second, the investigators and analysts aren't going to get promoted, or rewarded with bonuses; third, they may get sued or sent to the bureaucratic equivalent of Siberia.
So when the president had to gnash his teeth before pronouncing the T-word, it had real consequences. Language matters a lot. Ask Ludwig Wittgenstein, who would probably chuckle and ask you right back, if there's an Islamic terrorist in the forest, but we can't say so, can it possibly fall?
Way back in the days right after 9/11, I wrote that we were going to have a hell of a problem dealing with religious-inspired terrorism. You can't really do a decent job of intelligence gathering without taking a hard look at the mosques. That's where a lot of radicalization and recruitment takes place, and many mosques all over the world have served as key links in the transmission belt from the terrorists' home base to the terrorists "in the field." But the First Amendment protects religious speech, even when it incites the faithful against others. So it's a problem we need to address. But we can't begin to address it if we can't say the words "Islamic terrorist" or "radical Islamist terrorist."
This a tough problem, and when the president acts as chief censor it makes things even worse. The rot spreads and stinks.
