continued Therapy dogs are not service or assistance dogs. Service dogs, like seeing-eye dogs, directly assist humans and have a legal right to accompany their owners in most areas. Therapy dogs, because they don't provide that kind of assistance, aren't allowed in the same wide variety of areas as service dogs.
SFI was founded in 1998 by three women who had been volunteering in a similar group that disbanded. The organization was incorporated as a non-profit in February 1999.
"We started out with about 10 volunteers visiting four facilities, and we had to work hard to convince facilities that bringing dogs and cats in was a good idea," Basciano said. "Now we have close to 200 volunteers visiting over 50 facilities in five counties."
Originally, the intent of SFI was to provide an evaluation of therapy dogs to ensure they were suited to the pursuit. The training itself was left to the owners.
"After many inquiries wondering where training for therapy dog work could be accomplished, we decided to develop our own training program to meet the need," Basciano said.
The group began its most recent training session Tuesday, Jan. 15, at the Cicero Animal Clinic on Route 31. During the five-week session, dogs and their owners were trained in the basic skills needed to be a successful therapy dog, such as loose leash walking, focus through distraction, sitting on command, responsiveness to the handler, maneuvering around medical apparatus and more.
"We also teach students how to recognize and handle stress in their dogs, how to work through any fears the dog may have and how to know when their dog has had enough," Basciano said.
Basciano, a certified professional dog trainer and behavior consultant, is the lead trainer, and she works with several other professionals to provide the training. Though there is no standardized criteria for therapy dog programs, all of SFI's staff is experienced in both evaluation and instruction.

The bright lights of New York City can put stars in anyone's eyes. Living in the city is often attractive to young individuals and families alike, and many people flock to the city for the excitement and opportunity. While the city has a higher standard of living than other areas in the country, it's certainly a city that is always alive with real estate buzz. Real estate agents in Manhattan are one of the hardest-working people in the business, and many work long nights in order to help their clients find their perfect home. Apartments are often the prime choice for many newcomers in the city, and can provide future financial stability for people in the long run. A professional New York real estate agent is helpful for finding a home that will increase with value over time, that fits in with their client's budget, and is close to work, nightlife, and schools. Often, Manhattan will contain a number of studios, apartments, town homes, and a variety of other living situations for its residents. Unfortunately, not every living space is created equal. That's where a real estate agent comes in. They are specialized in sorting through the listings that match their client's specifications without sacrificing taste or quality. Many homes in New York City are often situated in areas that are close to stores, schools, and places of work; however, a real estate agent is helpful for finding a home that will reduce this commuting time. This can certainly save money for people who are wanting to funnel most of their income into their home. All in all, future homeowners should maintain a steady head on their shoulders when looking for a home in the city. This combined with a professional real estate agent, should help increase the chances of finding that perfect place.

Thoughts from the EPS Windows Server Performance Team
Useful Microsoft Blogs
Platforms Blogs
Good day AskPerf! Vinod Rawat here to discuss/demonstrate the benefits of using the Tracelog.exe utility to troubleshoot High CPU issues. Tracelog.exe is a command line utility that allows us to start/stop or enable trace logging, and offers the following features:
NOTE Tracelog.exe is included in the tools\tracing\<Platform> subdirectory of the Windows Driver Kit (WDK), where <Platform> is either i386, amd64, or ia64.
In this post, I am going to talk about troubleshooting a High CPU issue, where no user-mode processes are visibly spiking the CPU. With that, let's get started!
The first thing you will want to do is download Process Explorer and run it on the affected workstation/server. In this example, we see that Interrupts and its corresponding CPU usage shown below:
You can also add the following Performance Monitor Counters and see the same behavior:
Processor: % Interrupt Time
Processor: %DPC Time
Processor: %Privilege Time
This is where tracelog.exe comes in handy. Open an Elevated Command Prompt, and browse to the folder that includes the tracelog.exe utility (see Note above). During the high interrupt time we can capture DPC/ISR ETL tracing with the following syntax:
tracelog -start -f test.etl -dpcisr -UsePerfCounter -b 64
-start = Starts up the test.etl trace session
-f = Log to file <name>
-dpcisr = Enable kernel events for DPC/ISR analysis
-UsePerfCounter = Use Perf Counter clock
-b 64 = Sets buffer size to <n> Kbytes
NOTE When tracing DPCs and ISRs, always add the -UsePerfCounter parameter to the command. The system timer resolution is too low to measure the time spent in these activities. Tracerpt.exe, the tool that formats DPC/ISR events, requires the performance counter clock values for its reports. (Tracerpt is included in Windows XP and later versions of Windows.)
Let the tracelog.exe run for roughly 30seconds to 1 minute, then stop the tracing with following syntax:
tracelog -stop
Now we can create a report using the Tracerpt.exe tool with the following command:
tracerpt test.etl -report dpcisr.html -f html
These switches create the report file dpcisr.html in HTML format.
Now comes the fun part (The following is just a descriptive example and what I experienced on my machine).
1. Open the html file you created above
2. Locate the DPC/ISR section in the report:
3. Depending on your scenario, focus on either "Distribution of DPC execution times" or "ISR processor utilization" columns:
4. Sort by the Percent column and you will see the highest consumer (dxgkrnl.sys) at top:
Dxgkrnl.sys is at top taking highest-but-nominal ISR processor time on my machine above (which is obviously normal).
For those who want to go deeper than this: When a culprit driver's ISR routines are keeping the CPU busy, you can further zoom in and find out the exact range of time these routines are spending in:
Focus on Lower Bound and Upper Bound range and the corresponding Percent. More than 88% (61.66 + 26.59 = 88.25%) count is taking more than 25 microseconds. Microsoft recommends that DPCs should not run longer than 100 microseconds and ISRs should not run longer than 25 microseconds. ISR routines belonging to the driver above (obscured) have exceeded this value, thus you know how to pin-point the culprit and then check the concerned ISR routines' time taken.
Happy tracing!
Additional Resources:
-Vinod Rawat
Any reason to prefer tracelog/tracerpt over xperf?
Just a question, Is there an error in the last paragraph. First you write that more than 88.25% is taking 25 seconds which is really long time and then later microseconds.
Oscar, this was a mistake which has been corrected. Thanks!
If the NT Kernel Logger session is already in use, the StartTrace func returns ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS
I would like to capture L2 cache miss events. Is this possible using Tracelog? I see there are quite few set of events listed as "ProfileSrc" but any example on how to configure ProfileSrc/Pmc will be helpful.

Consider the following hypothetical scenario (and a typical scam involving mobile check deposits) in which an employer (the "Company") issues a paper check to one of its employees (the "Employee"). The Employee remotely deposits the check with his or her bank ("Bank A") by snapping an image of it with his or her smartphone and using Bank A's mobile deposit app. Bank A electronically creates a substitute check, and presents it to the Company's Bank ("Bank B") for payment. Meanwhile, the Employee retains the original paper check and later cashes that original check at a check-cashing store (or at another bank or currency exchange).[1] The check-cashing store then deposits the original paper check with its depositary bank ("Bank C"). Bank C converts that check to an electronic item and presents it to Bank B (the Company's bank), through an electronic forward-collection cash letter.[2] Bank B will at this time likely identify the check as a suspected duplicate, because the substitute check has already been presented for payment. When Bank B dishonors the check as a suspected duplicate, the check will bounce back to Bank C, which will charge the item back to its customer's (the check cashing store's) deposit account.
The duplicate deposit might have been an accident or it might be the result of fraudulent intent. Either way, the Employee is double-depositing a check, begging the question as to who is left to make good on these multiple transactions, especially if the parties are unable to recover directly from the Employee? The check-cashing store is likely to assert that it is entitled to payment from the "drawer" (in this scenario, the Company) as a holder in due course. Does the Company have any defense to the check-cashing store's holder in due course claim? Furthermore, does the Company or its bank (the "drawee" or "payor bank") have any recourse against Bank A, which created the substitute check (the "reconverting bank"[3])?
Since the 2004 introduction of the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act ("Check 21 Act"),[4] mobile deposits of checks have become increasingly popular. The Check 21 Act created a new negotiable instrument called a "substitute check"—a digital version and legal equivalent of an original check—paving the way for electronic check presentment by retail bank customers. Electronic check presentment has two major benefits: first, presentment occurs more quickly than if the physical check had to be transported for presentment; and second, the process is less costly.[5] However, with the increasing use of mobile check deposit technology comes an increasing risk of checks being deposited more than once ("duplicate presentment"). The loss resulting from duplicate presentment is one of the principal risks posed by mobile check deposits.
Prior to the introduction of mobile deposit technology, the existence of a single, unique paper check meant that only one "holder" was capable of possession. The existence of a digitized "substitute check"—indeed, one that can be replicated multiple times—results in a situation where multiple parties can claim to be "holders in due course," each with a claim of entitlement to payment of the same instrument.
The "holder in due course" doctrine governs negotiable instruments such as checks.[6] The doctrine says that a party who acquires a negotiable instrument in good faith, for value, and without notice of certain facts,[7] takes the instrument free of competing claims of ownership[8] and most defenses to payment.[9] The underlying idea is that a party acquiring a check should be free of concerns that the creator of the check or anyone else who owns the instrument will have particular grounds for refusing to pay.
This article provides an overview of the legal framework governing mobile check deposits, focusing on duplicate deposits where one party holds the original paper check, and suggests strategies for mitigating the risk of duplicate presentment.
Uniform Commercial Code
The provisions in Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") provide some answers to the questions posed above, although revisions are sorely needed in the face of technological advances in check collection and payment practices, particularly given that the current provisions were designed for a paper-based system.
The current presentment and transfer warranties in Articles 3 and 4 depend upon transfer or presentment of a physical piece of paper.[10] Thus, a transferor or presenter does not make these warranties if the item being transferred or presented is an electronic image of a check. Importantly, the UCC imposes no warranty obligation for potential double deposits such as the one outlined in the hypothetical scenario presented above (i.e., payments on both the electronic image (substitute check) and the original paper check). Simply stated, the UCC does not address the possibility that a single instrument could be presented for payment multiple times since, prior to mobile deposit technology, presentment or negotiation of an instrument required physical possession of the original instrument.[11]
In the hypothetical scenario above, the payor bank (Bank B) will be required to credit its customer's (the Company's/drawer's) account for one of the payments, as only one was properly payable. Here, if the payor bank (Bank B) returns the suspected duplicate item and refuses to pay either the reconverting bank (Bank A) or the check-cashing store, the drawer of the original check (its customer, the Company) will then likely face a holder in due course claim.
Traditionally, the right to enforce an instrument has been given to the holder of that instrument,[12] with the holder, in turn, defined as the person in physical possession of the instrument.[13] The entity that retains the original check (here, the check-cashing store) might have a holder in due course claim and, thus, might demand payment from the drawer (the Company). The check-cashing store has a strong argument for holder in due course status if it took the check by proper endorsement, in good faith, for value, and without notice that it was a duplicate.[14]
With a "substitute check" treated as a legal equivalent to a paper check under the Check 21 Act (discussed below), a person in possession of the substitute check is entitled to enforce it. Thus, if the reconverting bank (Bank A) creates a substitute check, it might also obtain "holder in due course" status.
However, as detailed below, even if the reconverting bank (Bank A) creates a substitute check, the bank might not qualify as a holder in due course if the electronic image created by its customer and transmitted to the bank does not satisfy the applicable requirements for such a check. Furthermore, the payor bank (Bank B) will likely be able to pursue a claim against the reconverting bank (Bank A) under the Check 21 Act's warranty provisions.
Check 21 Act
Prior to the passage of the Check 21 Act, banks and other financial institutions were required to physically present an original paper check (an act known as "presentment") in order to receive payment.[15] The Check 21 Act authorized the use of a "substitute check"—an electronic reproduction of the front and back of the original check.[16] Under the Check 21 Act, a substitute check is the legal equivalent of the original check provided that it accurately represents the original and bears the legend: "This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check."[17] As a result, a bank may permit its customers to scan checks and deposit them electronically using the bank's mobile deposit app so that the bank can then use the scanned image to create a substitute check. Like an original paper check, a substitute check is also subject to any provision of the UCC or applicable federal or state law, but only to the extent that such provisions are not inconsistent with the Check 21 Act.[18]
Notably, the Check 21 Act does not require the destruction of the original paper check after the creation of a substitute check.[19] By permitting a customer to retain the original check and converting the image of the original check into the electronic "substitute check," a bank offering mobile deposits effectively cedes control of a portion of its back-office operations to the customer. Thus, the scenario presented above, in which a customer deposits an original check after depositing the "same" check electronically, is a creature of the Check 21 Act.
The Check 21 Act imposes warranty and indemnity obligations upon a bank issuing a substitute check. A bank creating a substitute check—i.e., the reconverting bank—assumes the risk that arises from the creation of multiple legally enforceable copies of the same item. The reconverting bank warrants to each subsequent handler of the check that it will not receive multiple presentments of the check such that it will be asked to make a payment based on a check it has already paid.[20] Specifically, "no depositary bank, drawee, drawer, or endorser will receive presentment or return of, or otherwise be charged for, the substitute check, the original check, or a paper or electronic version of the substitute check or original check such that the bank, drawee, drawer, or endorser has already paid."[21]
Thus, if the Employee in the hypothetical example above electronically deposits a check using Bank A's mobile deposit app and then later cashes the original check at a check-cashing store, and if the bank on which the check is drawn (Bank B) pays both the original check and the substitute check created by Bank A, the payor bank (Bank B) has recourse against Bank A for its overpayment based on Bank A's Check 21 Act warranty.[22] Liability for the loss falls to the bank that allowed a customer to use its mobile deposit app (Bank A). The reconverting bank (Bank A) may, in turn, charge the loss against its customer, the Employee.[23] However, the key point is that the warranties described in the Check 21 Act dictate that the act of accepting the mobile deposit and creating the substitute check places responsibility for any multiple payments on the bank creating the substitute check.
Mitigation Strategies
The lack of a comprehensive cross-bank, real-time duplicate detection system is one of the key reasons that it is possible for a consumer to double deposit a check by initially making a mobile deposit and subsequently making a paper deposit at another institution. Thus, one possible way for banks to protect themselves from duplicate presentment is to make funds available not sooner than one to two days after they are deposited. This would allow banks to clear each check through the drawer's financial institution, verifying it as a legitimate instrument. However, this concept runs contrary to the business model of the check-cashing store.
Alternatively, as some banks already do,[24] all banks could require their customers to endorse each original check prior to scanning it for a mobile deposit, with language indicating that the item is "For Mobile Check Deposit Only," along with the deposit account number, thus making it less likely that the original check could later be deposited at another bank or check-cashing store.
Another key way for banks to shield themselves from losses caused by duplicate presentment is by building certain protections into the agreement between the bank and its customers using the mobile check deposit functions. Each bank's mobile deposit service agreement could include warranties from the customer to the bank that track the Check 21 Act's warranties given to subsequent handlers of the check. The bank could also require its mobile-deposit customers to indemnify the bank against any loss suffered as a result of the Check 21 Act warranties (again, assuming that recourse is available against the customer). The bank could effectuate this requirement through a modification to its demand-deposit account agreement forms in the case of future accounts or by amendments to the bank's demand-deposit account agreement in the case of existing accounts. In either case, the bank could require execution of such an agreement (or amendment to an existing agreement) in conjunction with downloading the bank's mobile app.[25]
In conclusion, mobile check deposit technology creates significant risks of loss in the form of duplicate presentment. While some duplicate deposits are customer errors, others involve potentially fraudulent behavior. The proper allocation of the loss from such deposits depends upon the rules and interpretations of the UCC and the Check 21 Act. Currently, there is minimal case law interpreting these rules in mobile deposit cases, and, further, there is a need for a revision of the UCC to account for these advances in technology. Until such time as the UCC is revised, other statutes are enacted, or case law is decided to clarify these issues, banks, employers, and general consumers should be aware of the risks of duplicate presentment when issuing or depositing paper checks.
[1] Because of funds availability rules, there are often several days between the date of deposit and the date the funds are actually received by the depositary bank. Thus, the customer depositing the check for the second time has access to the funds represented by the check before the check has been honored by the payor bank. Of course, where the second deposit was at a check-cashing store, the funds availability window is not a factor because the check is being cashed, rather than deposited.
[2] A "cash letter" is a group of checks packaged and sent by a bank (i.e., any depositary financial institution) to another bank, clearinghouse, or a Federal Reserve office. A cash letter is accompanied by a list containing the dollar amount of each check, the total amount of the checks, and the number of checks in the cash letter. "Forward collection" refers to the transfer of a check by a bank to a "payor bank" for payment. That is, the bank forwards the check to another bank directly or through an intermediary. For a description of the three basic models used by banks involving electronic forward-collection cash letters, see Stephanie Heller, An Endangered Species: The Increasing Irrelevance of Article 4 of the UCC in an Electronics-Based Payments System, 40 Loy. L.A. L. Rev. 513, 527–28 (2006).
[4] Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, Pub. L. No. 108-100 (2003), codified at 12 U.S.C. § 5001 et seq. (2004). The Check 21 Act is implemented by regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve Board. 12 C.F.R. § 229.1 (2006).
[5] Electronic check presentment reduces expensive air and land courier transport costs as well as costs associated with storage. See Peter J. Mucklestone, The Journey of a Check, Prof. Lawyer, 2006, at 40; see also David B. Humphrey & Robert Hunt, Getting Rid of Paper: Savings from Check 21 10–15 (Research Dep't, Fed. Reserve Bank of Phila., Working Paper No. 12-12) (estimating that the Federal Reserve reduced its per item check processing costs by over seventy percent (70%) by shifting to electronic presentment).
[6] U.C.C. § 3-104(a) (defining negotiable instrument, in part, as "an unconditional promise or order to pay a fixed amount of money" that is payable to bearer or identified person).
[7] U.C.C. § 3-302(a)(2) defines a "holder in due course" as one who takes an instrument:
(i) for value, (ii) in good faith, (iii) without notice that the check is overdue or has been dishonored or that there is an uncured default with respect to payment of another instrument issued as part of the same series, (iv) without notice that the instrument contains an unauthorized signature or has been altered, (v) without notice of any claim to the instrument described in Section 3-306, and (vi) without notice that any party has a defense or claim in recoupment described in Section 3-305(a).
[8] Id. § 3-306.
[9] See id. § 3-305(b) (making certain defenses inapplicable to holder in due course claims).
[10] See id. §§ 3-416, 3-417, 4-207, 4-208. A transfer warranty is given if transferor transfers an instrument for consideration to transferee and if the transfer is by endorsement to all future transferees. Transfer warranties can be enforced against all transferors for consideration by all transferees. Id. at §§ 3-416 and 4-207. When used in relation to an instrument, a presentment warranty refers to an implied promise as to the title and credibility of the instrument (e.g., a promise that the check has not been altered) given to the drawee by the person presenting a draft and receiving payment. Presentment warranties can be enforced against the presenter, all transferors by the payor bank and only the payor bank. Id. at §§ 3-417, 4-208.
[11] The Check 21 warranty against double payment (discussed below) only applies if a substitute check is created and would not apply to double presentment involving the original paper check.
[12] See id. § 3-301 (defining a person entitled to enforce the instrument as the "holder" of an instrument).

[14] See id. § 3-302.
[15] S. Rep. No. 108-79, at 1 (2003).
[16] A substitute check is defined in Section 3(16) of the Check 21 Act as:
A paper reproduction of the original check that (A) contains an image of the front and back of the original check; (B) bears a MICR line containing all the information appearing on the MICR line of the original check, except as provided under generally applicable industry standards for substitute checks to facilitate the processing of substitute checks; (C) conforms, in paper stock, dimension, and otherwise, with generally applicable industry standards for substitute checks; and (D) is suitable for automatic processing in the same manner as the original check.

[19] Andrea McGlinn, Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act: The Impact on Consumers, 9 N.C. Banking Inst. 179, 182 (2005).
[20] 12 U.S.C. §§ 5004-5005. In terms of indemnity, the Check 21 Act provides that the reconverting bank and any bank subsequently transferring, presenting, or returning a substitute check must indemnify all involved parties, including the drawer, for any loss incurred due to the receipt of a substitute check rather than the original check. Id. § 5005(a).
[21] Id. § 5004.
[22] The indemnity is "to the extent of any loss incurred… due to the receipt of a substitute check instead of the original check." Id.
[23] This assumes that recourse is available against the Employee. Many times, in the case of fraud, recourse is limited against the party making the duplicate deposits either due to the employee being terminated, or otherwise.
[24] See, e.g., Mobile Deposit, Mechanic's Bank, https://www.mechanicsbank.com/mechbank /MBwebsite.nsf/onlineservices/mobiledeposit (last visited July 28, 2014) (requiring "For Mobile Deposit Only" language for endorsement prior to mobile deposit); Mobile Deposit, S&T Bank, https://www.stbank.com /Content/Personal/Online-Banking/Mobile-Deposit.aspx (last visited July 28, 2014) (same).
[25] Subject to applicable state and federal law, employers (and by extension, banks) might protect themselves by utilizing direct-deposit technology, thus eliminating the need for paper checks.

I got my first Android crash report
The crash report feature collects unexpected exceptions from an Android apps and delivers it to the Development Console where the app author can analyze it. It is only available on Android 2.2, which is not yet widespread, so until today I've never seen a crash report. This morning I received one. It's a trivial error I made since the very first version of the application, with no effects on the application, but that triggers an exception starting from Froyo.

On Tuesday, North Carolina voters passed a constitutional amendment that defines marriage exclusively between a man and a woman, making North Carolina the 30th state to pass such a ban same-sex marriage.
The Associated Press reported:
In the final days before the vote, members of President Barack Obama's cabinet expressed support for gay marriage and former President Bill Clinton recorded phone messages urging voters to oppose the amendment.
Supporters of the amendment responded with marches, television ads and speeches, including one by Jay Bakker, son of late televangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. The Rev. Billy Graham was featured in full-page newspaper ads backing the amendment.
North Carolina law already bans gay marriage, but an amendment effectively seals the door on same-sex marriages.
The amendment also goes beyond state law by voiding other types of domestic unions from carrying legal status, which opponents warn could disrupt protection orders for unmarried couples.
Unsurprisingly, Tuesday's vote immediately inspired strong reactions. Below, a look at how politicians, gay rights groups and others weighed in on the measure's passage:
"The President has long opposed divisive and discriminatory efforts to deny rights and benefits to same sex couples. "He believes the North Carolina measure singles out and discriminates against committed gay and lesbian couples, which is why he did not support it. President Obama has long believed that gay and lesbian couples deserve the same rights and legal protections as straight couples and is disappointed in the passage of this amendment. On a federal level, he has ended the legal defense of the Defense of Marriage Act and extended key benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees."
"The passage of Amendment One in North Carolina is very disappointing. It unfairly singles out gay and lesbian Americans and is discriminatory. I'm proud that President Obama opposed Amendment One, as he has long believed that gay and lesbian couples deserve the same rights and legal protections that straight couples already enjoy. "While the passage of tonight's amendment is disappointing, it does not erase the incredible progress that gay and lesbian couples have made under the President's leadership. From putting an end to the legal defense of the Defense of Marriage Act in the courts and endorsing legislation to repeal it, to making sure that same-sex couples have equal hospital visitation and medical decision-making rights and extending key benefits to the same-sex partners of federal employees, we have taken great strides forward. "The choice is clear. The President has fought on behalf of LGBT Americans while Mitt Romney has supported inequality and discrimination. Romney has said we should write discrimination and inequality into the Constitution, and he has funded efforts in states that have adopted marriage equality to roll back these rights. On this and so many other issues, Romney, like Amendment One, would take us in the wrong direction."
"As momentum for the freedom to marry continues to grow in the rest of the nation, today's vote is a painful reminder of what happens when a preemptive ballot-measure is stampeded through before people have had enough time to take in real conversations about who gay families are and why marriage matters to them. This amendment is a last gasp of discrimination that will cause real harm to families, communities, and businesses in North Carolina, but says little about the prospects for a better outcome in battles to come in states where there has been greater visibility for loving and committed couples and those who get to know them. And even in North Carolina, the long-term effect of this nasty attack will be to spur more conversations and open more hearts, helping more people rise to fairness and support for the freedom to marry."
"We applaud North Carolina voters for joining voters in 31 other states upholding the historic and natural definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman. "At every opportunity, the American people have demonstrated a deep appreciation for the unique benefits that marriage between a man and a woman brings to families and society. They recognize that marriage is the only kind of union that results in natural procreation and keeps a mother and father together to raise the children produced by their union."
"North Carolina has wandered into treacherous terrain with Amendment One. For all the talk of bolstering families, this measure shamefully shoves them into harm's way. "Blocking loving couples from forming legal unions like domestic partnerships, civil unions and marriage flies in the face of family values. Indeed, Amendment One defies what it means to be a family today. Many North Carolinians, including seniors, single women and children, could be placed in peril because the shrinking definition of family excludes them. Some might even be denied life-saving services like domestic violence protections. This is a brutal step backward for relationship recognition in North Carolina. "We thank all the voters who rejected Amendment One. We stand in solidarity with them and the Coalition to Protect North Carolina Families as they build on this effort to make North Carolina welcoming and safe for all."
"Tonight's results are an unfortunate reminder that the fight for Civil Rights in our state is not yet over. Writing discrimination into our Constitution is wrong. The State Constitution exists to protect the rights of our citizens- not to take them away. Despite this setback, north Carolina Democrats will continue to fight for all of our citizens."

I would be interested in seeing an 11x14 glass plate optically enlarged, but maybe we could get a show that hangs here in Toronto and one in Auz.
As you know Stephen I am very old and my days of play are over, but still need to pad my retirement. It will only take twenty more years .
What kind of images do you have in 11x14, send me some jpegs.
I normally produce positive plates and am about to do a series of images on 5x7 but i can put something to 11x14 i have 6 plates left in 11x14. I will pull some images out and you can pic what you want i will find out how much shipping will be.
I am most interested in over 8x10> 10x12 or 11x14, I am also looking at negative plates as I would love to see on FB.
maybe worth working on a series in negative/ positive , you make some Cibas and I will make some fibres from the plates you produce, could be a killer show. I have a couple of friends here in NA with gallerys that could showcase the series.
i love 5x7" plates the most
personally im not interested in prints from large plates. they seem pointless to me.
when they are that size ide rather view the plate than a print from it.
I don't think the added weight of 11x14 would be an issue if your are already carrying around a wet-plate setup. Lens should not be expensive; you don't need a shutter. I'd think the extra size will really make your work impressive. 8x10 reduction back is a great idea for film use. But you will probably be spoiled by the big size of your 11x14 wet plates and go for big film :)
this thread is pretty old but has been recently commented on.
11x14 for wet plate is PITA. if you do do 1114 then it is a studio only endeavor IMO.....for the beginner.
remember you need fast lenses. fast 11x14 lenses are VERY expensive and VERY BIG. only studio cameras can really hold them. you can force other cameras into service but you will find them sub standard. traveling with1114 is a real pain.
even 8x10 is a bit much IMO. i use smaller formats to travel with. most all portable 8x10 cameras lack the lens board size and the front standard for a lens that "really" covers 8x10. again, they are better suited for studio work.
all the above is directed more towards portraits. landscape work would require a slower lens as you may be shooting in open SUN. so your exposures would be significantly faster.
as a beginner i would say get an 8x10 camera. get bill schwabs holder for it. 5x7 insert and shoot 5x7 (or smaller) for a while. most all fast lenses for 5x7 will easily fit on most 8x10 lens boards that are 6x6 inches.

Report: settlement not expected in Apple vs. Apple
updated 02:20 pm EDT, Fri October 8, 2004
Apple vs Apple news
The Beatles' lawsuit against Apple Computer is , according toMacworld UK, which quotes one source as saying "The thing is, settlement negotiations began, but as they progressed, both sides began to feel that they were completely in the right." The report says that some clauses support the computer company in the digital domain, but that the previous reports pertaining to the case have been flawed, including the biggest out-of-court settlement report and rumors that former-Beatle Paul McCartney will take a seat on Apple's Board. The case is likely to go to court and will be settled "within the year".

I finished off the first season the other day. I don't think the series has engrossed me the way it seems to have many others on this board. I think it's standard soap opera fare; running afoul of local troubles on alien worlds (then solving them), bumping into strange space phenomena, and staging narrow escapes from pursuing bad guys. A pleasant enough way to spend an hour, but usually nothing that makes me sit up and take notice. The season finale is possibly an exception; the cliffhanger was well done, and makes me want to order the second season (eventually...). So I've liked some of the plots, and some of the characters, mostly John, Zhaan and Chianna, have grown on me (though, conversely, I wish Rygel would encounter a pair of scissors, and soon)... mostly, the problem seems to be that I can't quite get comfortable with the show's aesthetic. Particularly the aliens. Particularly Rygel. The make-up on some of the leads is great (Zhaan and Chianna look amazing, and I don't just mean the actress, though that helps), but most of the aliens on the show look like they stepped out of 50s B-movie, all rubber and fabric and glowy headdresses. I'm not sure why--I've enjoyed series with even more outré aesthetics, like the similarly-themed Lexx, but that show knew it was risible. Which is something else that oftens throws me out of the show: the skewed sense of humour, which misses about as often as it hits. Particularly John, with his bizarre non sequiturs and constant pop culture references that he ought damn well know nobody gets. It was mildly amusing once or twice, it's just dumb by now. Oh, and Rygel. (Seriously, fart jokes? What is this, Phantom Menace?)
Anyway, hopefully the fans won't excorciate me for the above. I do plan to eventually return to the series, since I found the first season essentially adequate, and have been told that it gets better--and besides, it's not like there's much anything else in this vein out there to watch, these days.
Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman
I pretty much agree with you on everything.
I never (and still don't) "get" the "funny" in Farscape. It's funny eps leave me cold. I think the humor is an acquired taste. And as for Fart jokes... wait for a couple of seasons in between ... there are "sick" jokes coming... To the fan's credit - they generally assign low points to that season 4 episode.
Rygel and some of the aliens who are puppets look a little too puppetty. (There's one that I remember that humps Aeryn's leg! Funny to say but looked silly). But over here - I have to say - (and I started watching Farscape regularly towards the end of Season 3 (with Fractures, I think) and then watched the previous episodes later) - there was some episode that I don't recall which totally sold me on the Dominar!! I think it was the voice actor who finally pushed the puppet thru to me.
But as fans will (and have) tell you - it gets better in season 2 and season 3. I think the Dedalus Demands/Icarus Abides two-parter and then the last 3 eps of season 3 and the last 5-6 ep arc of season 4 - fantastic stuff...
And wait till you see the Scarrens in season 4 - I thought that was fantastic fx...
Returning on-topic about the DVD set release of Farscape - it was briefly covered as a recommended series to purchase on National Public Radio (NPR) in the
Fresh Air section on December 10 titled "Classic TV on DVD Makes A Personalized Holiday Gift"

During the past three years I have come face to face with myself. It has been both challenging and a time of growth for me. I enjoy growing everyday and am looking to connect with other "safe" people that I can share my heart freely with, have some fun and of course connect in God's Word.

Fragments of Infinity: A Kaleidoscope of Math and Artby Ivars Peterson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this stunning visual journey, best-selling, award-winning author Ivars Peterson guides us to the crossroads of mathematics and art, creativity and imagination--and challenges long-held notions about the ways in which these connect.
Most of us have been led to believe that mathematics is right-brian work, art is left-brain work, case closed. Not so. This intriguing book shows just how intertwined the two disciplines are, while sharing exciting glimpes of artists enthralled by the unlimited possibilities offered by mathematically guided eplorations. Portraying the works of many contemporary mathematicians who are also artists working in media, from metals to glass to snow, or whose mathematical thoughts have inspired others to create, Fragments of Infinity draws us into the mysteries of this rich and surprising intersection.
The realm of mathematical art is far wider and more diverse than many people realize. It encompasses the precisely geometric masterpieces by Renaissance painters, the intriguing visual conundrums of Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, and Salvador Dali's thought-provoking representations of a transcendental fourth dimension. Contemporary artists have found inspiration in the mathematics of Fibonacci numbers and the digits of pi, or in the geometry of tetrahedra and Mobius strips.
From one-sided surfaces and four-dimensional spaces to self-similar structures and other bizarre or seemingly impossible features of modern math, we are privy to this collaboration in action as concepts and principles are given visible expression. Featuring more than 250 beautiful illustrations and photographs of artworks--28 in full color--ranging from sculptures both massive and minute to elaborate geometric tapestries and mosaics of startling complexity, this is an absorbing expedition into the world of abstract shapes, space, and time made tangible.
"Peterson's knowledge of and affection for mathematics comes through with every word." San Diego Union Tribune
"Ivars Peterson, is, in short, the math teacher everyone wishes they had in high school." Publishers Weekly
"Peterson shows that mathematicians are a gregarious bunch and that the problems they work on are vitally important to us...best of all, he makes it fun." Washington Post Book World

This hotel was our main destination on our honeymoon (travelling through Vietnam and Cambdia) - and it didn't disappoint at all.
We had a 3-bedroom villa with a pool (because we'd asked for privacy), we had welcome champagne and cakes and a message from the manager. Our outside shower was a great touch (don't worry, there's one inside too!), as was the barrel of rainwater to wash your feet with when you leave the beach. No item of service is left unthought of - from complimentary suntan lotion on the beach and by the pools to the elegant turndown of the rooms at night.
We had no idea what to do with our butler (he must have been so bored!), but the room and the pool and the whole resort were stunning. The food was lovely, and the proximity to Hoi An (and the shuttle bus) means you can eat in town quite easily if you prefer.
It was the most fantastic hotel we have ever stayed in and we will be returning for our anniversary. The sunrise on the beach is worth getting up for...
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Along a seemingly infinite stretch of sand, amidst Vietnam's richest cultural heritage, a strand of sophisticated, visually striking villas lines the dramatic beachfront. Inspired by 2,500 years of history, The Nam Hai's architecture and interior design presents a dramatic play on wind and water inspired by ancient feng shui philosophy and the grandeur of the Tu Doc royal tombs of Hue. Explore the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Hoi An, My Son and Hue with its Buddhist pagodas, royal tombs and historic citadels. Return to our calm, tropical shore on Ha My Beach to relax around three expansive swimming pools, in the spa on a lotus pond, over gourmet Eastern and Western cuisine or in the privacy of one of our 100 private retreats, elegantly finished with Vietnamese lacquer and diaphanous silk, some of which are served by a most attentive butler. ... more less
