Both「目的」and「目標」have a common meaning which is "goal", but what is the difference?
I think it boils down to the difference in English between "purpose" and "goal". A goal is something finite you hope to achieve. A purpose is like a motivation for why you do something. Often they will overlap, but not always. Having a finite goal kind of implies that you have a motivation. However, the converse -- having a motivation implies you have a finite goal -- is not necessarily true.
So the same with the Japanese words. If you have a
That's how I see them anyway.
I would think of a basic example.
I want to become better at shooting the basketball. => 目的
I think 目的 is a high level image, global image of a goal. 目標 is more achievement like low level goal, usual can be quantified and explicit that will define the concrete steps to the 目的.

The American coaches understand it's all about winning
It is the fashionable thing to dismiss American Athletic Conference football as not worthy. After all, it is the leftovers of the Big East, a league whose football was used as a punching bag after the departures of Miami, Boston College and Virginia Tech. The roundhouses only intensified when Pittsburgh and Syracuse decided to leave, followed shortly after by West Virginia.

5 Heartwarming Stories to Restore Your Faith in Celebrities
#2. T.I. Saves a Man from Suicide
Craig Bromley/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Like many famous rappers, T.I. has been in and out of prison for weapons and drug charges, and the mythology surrounding the lives of men like him is a blur of weed and sex. It's not very often that you hear about the humanitarian side of the rap industry. But T.I. broke the illusion in 2010 when he went out of his way to help a man who was planning to commit suicide by leaping from a ledge.
The police, already inside the building, were trying to figure out a way to keep the would-be victim from headlining the 6 o'clock news when T.I. walked over to them and told them he knew how to bring the man down from the ledge in a way that didn't involve a mess on the pavement. He recorded a video message to coax the man down with assurances that nothing can be as bad as all that.
We assume the message did not include lyrics to "Big Shit Poppin' (Do It)."
Of course, there was no way of knowing whether the man liked his music, or even if he knew who T.I. was, considering he's not exactly on Kanye West's level of rap stardom. But maybe the guy just needed to hear a friendly voice (or assumed T.I. was the world's coolest-looking shrink), because the plan worked and the man stepped down.
Reportedly, T.I. and the potential jumper met in the lobby of the building, and while nobody is sure what was said over the course of the conversation, it seems like the T.I. magic worked on him and the man was cured of his malaise. The police officially thanked the rapper for his good deed, which distracted them from the fact that he was facing his probation being revoked at the time for marijuana possession.

#1. Johnny Depp Is Just an All-Round Nice Dude
Jason Merritt/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
If we were Johnny Depp, it's easy to imagine that we'd just lie back in a drunken haze while the universe throws all of the sex at us. For those of us frustrated by the idea that our wives (and husbands, why not) are thinking of Captain Jack Sparrow while we're in bed at night, it's probably comforting to imagine that his self-important dickitude is great enough to counter the extent to which everyone wants to do him.
But tell that to the extended cast of Pirates of the Caribbean 4, for whom Depp reportedly shelled out 40,000 pounds of his own money to buy 500 coats because they complained that it was cold. (NOTE: We're talking about the British currency, not 40,000 pounds of money by weight, which would admittedly be more impressive.)
Jason Merritt/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
"I'll admit that totally sounds like the batshit type of way that I'd count my money."
Of course, this was just kind of Johnny Depp's thing. During the filming of Public Enemies, a small child asked if he could have the sweet fedora that Depp wore for his role as gangster John Dillinger. Rather than giving the kid an important lesson in how you can't always get what you want, Depp sent the hat to the kid along with a bunch of stuff from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for his siblings, which was probably a better idea than giving them other props from a violent gangster biopic.
Shaan Kokin/Julien's Auctions
"I learned my lesson after I gave that kid my gloves from Edward Scissorhands."
In fact, Johnny Depp's heroic antics have given him the reputation of some kind of low-tech Batman, from the time he threw himself in front of a crew of extras to shove them out of the way of an out-of-control stunt car on the set of Public Enemies, to when he stopped a horse from being put down on the set of Sleepy Hollow by adopting it and saving its life. There's even a story about him coming out of a recording session with a friend when, being confronted by a mugger swinging a broken bottle at him, Depp simply told him to "back off" and the guy did, reportedly saying, "I ain't stealing from Captain Jack."
But the most heart-warming story is probably when, after a young girl sent him a fan letter, Depp turned up at her London school in full pirate gear. If it were any other 47-year-old man dressed like a rag factory exploded and speaking with a drunken slur, there would have been police involved.
"Honestly, it felt good to finally be myself instead of having to play that 'Johnny Depp' guy."

I've had a single room, it included a comfortable bed, desk with chair, a hairdrier, a radio and a TV - and a bathroom. Someone mentioned that the rooms are really small - they are, but mine had everything to make me comfortable.

Bowling Green is hosting the Russell Athletics/KHSAA State Football Finals at WKU's Houchens L.T. Smith Stadium this weekend.
The Bowling Green Convention and Visitor's Bureau says this tournament brings upwards of 40,000 people to town annually.
You may have noticed bigger crowds at restaurants and the mall the last couple of days.
Sports Sales Director for the Visitor's Bureau, Amy Cardwell says Bowling Green is the perfect town for this tournament since it's big in size, but has a small-town atmosphere.
"Our hotels and restaurants are booming over with people. Each team averages a hundred players which their travel party averages about a hundred and fifty just with the team. And if you add all of the parents and fans. And then you have several thousand people in town," Cardwell says.
She says Bowling Green gets about $75 per person just from this weekend, giving the town a boost economically.

after using Lion I was frustrated by the lack of multiple display integration it had. When I swiped between spaces, the secondary display served no purpose but to display that gray linen pattern that we're starting to see appear everywhere.
Has anyone discovered a feature in Mountain Lion that allows more function to come out of a secondary display? I would really hope there is.
Thanks for the help, Greg

Very nice Twellman, I wish I had some of those youth players to help me out, but mine all just seem a little bit average. I have a pretty strong younger squad mind you and will be looking to the playoffs this season, interested to see how high I can make it.
Edit: And that takes the thread to 2000 replies, awesome work everyone. Absolutely loving the thread this year, 2 completions and a bunch of guys trundling along enjoying each others support.

Prep Time: 10M
Cooking Time: 50M
Serves: serves 6
Dairy, egg, gluten, & nut free
- 41/4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1/2 cup wild rice
- 2 tbsp flavorless nut-free oil

Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- Put 11/4 cups of the stock in a saucepan, bring to a boil and add the wild rice.
- Cover and reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45-50 minutes until the rice is just tender and has absorbed the liquid (it will still have a nutty texture). If necessary, remove the lid and boil rapidly for a few minutes to evaporate the last of the stock.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a separate saucepan and fry the onion and celery until softened but not browned, 3 minutes.
- Add the basmati rice and stir until the grains are evenly coated and glistening. Stir in the thyme leaves. Add the remaining stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, add the bay leaf, currants, and cranberries and cover and simmer very gently until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed (about 10-12 minutes).
- Remove from the heat. When the wild rice is cooked, add to the basmati with the parsley and pine nuts. Season to taste and fluff with a fork.
- Tip into a warmed serving dish and serve immediately.
- Watch out for pine nuts, also known as pine kernels, which may not be tolerated by some people who are allergic to nuts. Omit if necessary. If using a bouillon cube, make sure that it is dairy free and/or gluten free as necessary.
- If you prefer, use a good pat of butter or dairy-free spread to cook the onions.

Tailor your treadmill workouts to include a lot of variety and safety
|While pushing one button and doing a mindless 30-minute run may seem like the most painless workout option, it may actually be sabotaging your routine. According to the experts, the body responds better to a variety of hard running and recovery. Here, Gina Garcia starts her work out with a 15 minute warm up on the treadmill in University Park, Texas, July 25, 2012. (Ron Heflin/Dallas Morning News/MCT)
"People often hop on a treadmill for long, slow runs - they're trying to zone out," says Rob Sulaver, owner of the New York City-based Bandana Training and a certified personal trainer. "But it's more effective to do aggressive interval training, both from an exercise science and experiential perspective."
So while pushing one button and doing a mindless 30-minute run may seem like the most painless option, it may actually be sabotaging your routine. According to the experts, the body responds better to a variety of hard running and recovery.
"You can mix it up any way you want - one minute of hard running and one minute of recovery running is a good place to start, but you can do any variety," he explains. The key is to kick up your heart rate at a higher intensity, which takes your body longer to recover. This, according to Sulaver, provides an after-burn effect, encouraging your body to continue burning calories even after the workout.
Intervals also offer another important perk: relieving boredom.
"People say their time on the treadmill goes faster because they're concentrating on a particular interval segment," explains Bill Pierce, chair of the Health Sciences Department at Furman University, co-founder of the Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training and co-author of the book "Runner's World Run Less, Run Faster."
A good workout is impossible if you're injured. And Sulaver has seen many people skimp on safety - especially on treadmills.
"Don't lift weights on a treadmill," he warns. "It's more of a circus act than a legitimate workout and is multitasking gone wrong."
Also remember your form. "Many people will change their running form on a treadmill, landing on their toes or forefoot and getting too close to the front of the machine," Pierce explains, adding that this behavior could strain your Achilles or cause lower-leg soreness.
Make sure you look straight ahead and don't hold on to the bars or railings while running. "This greatly reduces your workload and it's not that safe," says Pierce.
Although you may be running on a more friendly terrain than what you would find outdoors, it's still important to wear good running shoes. You don't need a special type for the treadmill, according to Sulaver, but you should make sure the fit is right.
You may give your workout a boost by focusing on what the treadmill can offer rather than what it lacks.
The most obvious is convenience - allowing you to run in any weather condition or at any time of day (and being able to stay hydrated without lugging a bottle around).
Pierce emphasizes the value of having the pace set for you, especially for beginning runners. "You get to make a decision about pace and set it, which enables you to concentrate on other things like form, breathing and visualization," he says.
Most treadmills also have variable inclines. This feature allows runners to control elevation changes. "Often, people like to do hill repeats, but when you run up the hill outdoors, you have to run back down it, which can cause soreness," Pierce explains. "With a treadmill, you don't have to run downhill, so there's less stress on the body."
Of course, if you're planning to compete in a race, you'll have to actually run the terrain to properly train for it. But Sulaver disagrees with road-running purists who see little value in treadmills. "It's a tool like anything else. If you use it well, it can provide a great workout," he says.

Realistic Fireplace-Better Than Expected
By Gomer
from Madison, IN
Fireplace was delivered in a very secure, protective package. It was easy to assemble but goes smoother with 2 people as it is heavy. Make sure you put together close to where you will place in your home. The flame is very realistic and impressive. Remote control is easy to use and program. I have not used the heat blower as it is summer time. It looks very good in our living room on our hardwood floor. This is a great product!

By Brooklyn Mom
from Brooklyn, NY
This fireplace just completed a newly decorated living room. It is the next best thing to a "real" fireplace, but without the mess. Ordered on a Sunday evening and was sitting in front of my beautiful fireplace by the following Friday night. That's how easy it was. Couldn't be more impressed or pleased and would highly recommend. Worth every penny!

Expensive looking. Make sure you put it together in the room it is going in. 2 of the screw holes were too large for the screws so we had to use metal washers to secure them.
Service and delivery comments:
Quick delivery. Very well packaged and arrived in good condition. Quite heavy and you will need 2 people or a dolly on wheels to move it.

i REPLACED THE HEATING ELEMENT WITH NO SUCCESS. THIS UNIT WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY HEAT TO A ROOM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO CALCULATED THE HEAT OUTPUT. IF THERE IS A HEAT UNIT THAT I CAN INSTALL THAT INDEED PROVIDES MORE HEAT, I WOULD BUY IT AND INSTALL IT MYSELF TO MAKE MY WIFE HAPPY.
Not exactly as expected...

I ordered this fireplace at the end of October 2013 and received it in February. I kept getting emails changing the shipping date. I finally called in January. Customer service couldn't give me any information. I asked for the number for Dimplex in the US to ensure it was coming and not discontinued. They could tell me that a shipment had left China and I would hear shortly. I did receive it within 3 weeks of making that phone call. I'm disappointed that customer service couldn't give me more information. They gave me the impression that Dimplex doesn't communicate with them. I waited for this one as there are very few options that are tall enough for our 9' ceilings. This fireplace was to provide heat and a focal point for our small front room. We have an open concept home-not a closed off room which would contain the heat. The color does not at all match the picture...a light mustard color - and doesn't have the parchment accents as described. I did call customer service who said they would look into it. That's two weeks ago and I haven't heard anything back. The fan is very noisy and not a lot of heat is projected into the room when the fan is on high. Thus, it takes a lot of time to heat the immediate area around the fireplace. The heat comes from the top of the insert and is not pushed down and forward into the room. We are keeping the fireplace as it does work and the color is ok in our room. It would not work for everyone. I'm planning on calling about how to reduce the noise and increase the heat projection. I hope I get better customer service than the inquiry about the color. It's well made though, and easy to put together and quite realistic.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Very pretty fireplace
By KLBRN
from Dade City, FL
We have an electric fireplace where I work that is nearly impossible to tell from the real thing. I was hoping for the price this would be comparable, and it is. The one at work is better, but this one is very realistic, just not as good :( I have had issues in the 3 days since I've owned it with the heater overheating and shutting off. I figured out to keep it from overheating I have to operate it with the glass doors open and the Purifire airfilter can not be in place. It works without the filter just fine, so the Purifire aspect is kind of a joke. I wanted this for supplemental heat on these chilly Fla evenings, so the heater really needs to work for the purchase to be justified. The heater fan has also started to make noise, even after just two days of using it for roughly an hour each day. On the upside, it is a beautiful piece of furniture and really looks fabulous in my living room. Shipping was rough on it though and the back corner and the back wall of the top of the mantle was slightly damaged in shipping, but it looks to fit the character of the piece since it has an aged, distressed look. The metal firebox was also bent in shipping and my friend who helped me put it together had to bend back some of the top pieces so they would look right from the front of the fireplace. This took about 2 hours to put together with 2 people. Time will tell if I wasted my money when I see how well the heater holds up.

This question usually pops up in my head every time I step into Home Depot and see all the orange buckets around.
What makes a bucket food grade?
It's the type of plastic, and how it's manufactured (it has to do with the chemical properties of the plastic). A food grade container will not allow most foods to leach toxic chemicals from it under normal operating conditions.

I am not a GIS specialist (so patience required!) :) We work with georeferenced, rectified 1:10 000 orthophotos. I need help with the conversion of a georeferenced tiff to a georeferenced jpg.
Our recently acquired JUNO (Trimble) GPS's work very well with an eventual conversion of jpg to ecw format - but I first need help in converting my tiff files to jpg.
Any ideas please? Free/shareware or products for sale that you know of? thanks! Monique

quote: Seriously. Do you think before you speak?
quote: And why do you think we'd send it to China.
quote: 1. The oil is bound for Asia: The Enbridge Northern Gateway Project, as proposed … would carry tar sands oil by pipeline across the province, to be loaded onto supertankers for transport to Asia.2. The '"sell" by the company is economic, but the bulk of the benefits (the profits) would of course go to the company, or they wouldn't be doing it: In its written submission to the review panel on Friday, the company emphasized "the enormous economic benefits that the Project would deliver to Canada, British Columbia, Alberta and Aboriginal peoples."3. The company touts its excellence in "spill response": "Northern Gateway would have comprehensive oil spill response plans for all Project components and would substantially improve existing emergency response on Canada's pacific coast – something unprecedented for a pipeline project."4. Yet the BC review noted just the opposite: But the B.C. government's submission points out that the company's proposal indicates that "doing nothing is a possible response to a spill."
quote: Nocera might ask himself how likely this oil is really to go to China from Canada if Keystone XL is not built. He might ask why the oil companies are looking to bring tar sands almost 2000 miles south rather than just send it across British Columbia for export to Asia.The answer can be found in the deep and fierce opposition to a new tar sands pipeline in Canada -- especially by the First Nations of British Columbia. In fact, those First Nations this week sent letters to President Hu of China and to the Chinese people letting them know their tar sands grievances in advance of Prime Minister Harper's trip this week.The Keystone XL tar sands pipeline would not make the United States of America safer. Why? It would not make us safer, because the majority of the processed oil was already scheduled for export to foreign countries.That's' right, this Keystone XL pipeline's Canadian tar sands oil would have no positive impact whatsoever on America's national security. Canada wanted to send the dirtiest oil on the planet through the heart of America so that they could access export routes.And they proposed getting there by bringing the pipeline right over the Ogallala Aquifer, one of America's most important repositories of fresh water. Along the route, Democrats and Republicans alike opposed it.Nocera never mentioned that a first pipeline just like the proposed Keystone XL, built by the same foreign company, TransCanada, had over 12 spills in the U.S. (30 if you count Canada) in just its first year of operation. Some of those spills have yet to be cleaned up.
quote: The U.S. State Department has accepted assertions that the production of heavy oil will increase regardless of whether Keystone XL is built, because the Northern Gateway pipeline would bring oil for shipment to China.Denying permission for Keystone XL would not promote the U.S. national interest in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the State Department says, because China will use the energy anyway.Canadians know better. Although the Canadian government supports Northern Gateway, and the government-appointed National Energy Board can be expected to approve, the same cannot be said of the First Nations (i.e. indigenous peoples) living along its path.The 731-mile long Northern Gateway pipeline would cross several mountain ranges and more than 1,000 rivers and streams, many of which contain sensitive salmon spawning beds.In December 2010, 61 First Nations from across British Columbia signed a declaration in opposition to Northern Gateway. The First Nations are skeptical about safety assurances provided by Enbridge, the company behind Northern Gateway.In July 2010, a leak in one of the company's pipelines in Michigan resulted in 20,000 gallons of crude oil spilling into the Kalamazoo River. A year later, more than 1,500 barrels leaked from another of Enbridge's pipelines in Canada's Northwest Territories.Fully 80 percent of British Columbians oppose Northern Gateway, and that public opinion has translated into political opposition.
quote: I'm for the keystone pipeline being built if it's a boon for the US economy and regulations are followed.
quote: although I freely admit this is not an area I have spent much time looking into.
quote: There hasn't been a new oil refinery built in the United States since 1976.
quote: The harmonic mean captures the fuel economy of driving each car in the fleet for the same number of miles, while the arithmetic mean captures the fuel economy of driving each car using the same amount of gas

The first few times I played the game I've placed the cards in the rooms in the order that the Seed Cards reference tells me to, but I find that some cards at the bottom of each pile are supposed to be there to "unlock" access to the rest of the stacked cards within that room. Can I change the order each stack is placed on the board so it makes sense or do I need to follow the reference sheet which I find is wrong?

No, you cannot change the order of the Seed cards. However, do make sure that you are using the latest errata.
If you have any specific concerns, please ask. We can try to address this question without specifics.
Ah, I struggled with this as well. The order in the manual is the order in which you lay the cards down, so the card at the end of the list is the card that ends up on top.
So the exploration cards will always be under the obstacles/locks, and in the rare case where a room contains an obstacle and a lock, the lock will always be on top of the obstacle.
Also, equipment and clues are always on top of "nothing of interest" cards.

GXT 1.2.4 Multi tabs FormPanel Validation
Hi All,
I am still having the same problem on formpanel validation in mutiple tabs situation.
Each Tabs Item had it's own formpanel and when user click a button, the events basically
get each of the formpanel and called isValid().
As well, The tab panel is using getLayout().setDeferredRender(false).
It looks like the setDefferentRender does not work.
For testing purpose:
* I click button which trigger validation on both formpanel, it does not work.
* I click on other tab item and then click on button which trigger validation on both formpanel, the validation is working.
Any suggestion how to get around this?
28 Apr 2009 1:28 AM #2
Yes, the problem is within layouting nested, not visible panels. Also this was reported several times. There is no need to open a new thread for that.
28 Apr 2009 1:35 AM #3
I would recommend that you perform validation before changing tabs. If the form is valid, you allow to change the tab, otherwise, you stay in the same tab until the form is validated.
You can do this implementing some tab's listeners
29 Jul 2009 12:15 AM #4
I am still having the same issue with form validation, the form is not valid until all tabs with validation perform have been rendered. Do you have any solution to that ?
I have tried tabPanel.setDeferredRender(false) but it doesn't works.
Any suggestion?
3 Aug 2009 8:00 PM #5
I haven't found any solution to this and hopefully migrating to GXT 2.0.1 will fixed it. but still having a lot of issues on migration to it.
6 Aug 2009 5:39 AM #6
you can switch to the tab each time before you call the isValid() on the tab

As a geek, photography is a great subject. Lots of gadgets, physics, electronics etc to debate, discuss and learn about. but how do you transition from being the guy who knows what all the buttons and dials do, to being the guy who takes great shots. Basically I'm asking how does the technophile develop a "style", "eye", or "vision"? I have always felt that my problem was one of lack of equipment. But I have spent a lot on film gear and even more on digital, but I still often feel like I have a point and shoot camera. Sure, I can get a perfectly exposed, sharp image. But they are usually flat & lifeless. I guess what I'm asking is what should I be thinking about when framing a shot other than f-stops and ISO?
You, my friend, are staring down the barrel of four years of art school!
Not really... Though I do often recommend auditing an art history class to my own students and I've never seen a student that didn't improve as a photographer after taking one. But whether you take a formal class or not, you do need to become a student of art the same way you became a student of the technical aspects of photography. Studying the 'language' of photography, light, shadow, composition, subject, message... These are all aspects of photography that you'll want to delve into.
The books that mattdm suggests are excellent starting points, but I don't believe it's possible to become a really good photographer without frequent interaction with fellow photographers. I highly recommend finding a mentor, or a 'photography society' in your area. Ask for critiques- the more brutal the better. I know it doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun, but believe me, the first time someone asks you "what were you thinking with that mess of a photograph?" you will be changed. And later when someone asks you "no really... what were you thinking" with a photograph and you actually have an answer, you will be changed again.
Give critiques. Even if you don't exactly know what that means. Learn to talk about what works or doesn't work for you when you see a picture. The more you interact, the faster you will become more than just a taker of snapshots with the most expensive camera in the room.
Or you can do what I did and... go to four years of art school. :-)
You have to learn how to express yourself through the subjects you capture, to have a story to tell or a point of view to deliver. You have to empathize with your subjects, to overcome your rational side and trust your intuition. You have to believe that you do have something worth showing the world, and then determine if the shots you take adequately express what you want to show.
Art is a spiritual journey, not a technical one. Good art requires good technique (in my opinion, others will argue, probably), but good technique does not guarantee good art.
You can also look for art that is resonant with you. That could be picking up a copy of Vanity Fair and looking at their portraiture (that's what I did), going to a museum to see the work of others, or going online and looking at Flickr's 'interestingness' tags. Find the ones you like, and ask yourself what you can do to express the same sentiments, or to express your response to those pieces. Some art is clearly in response to other art, some art is wholly original, and most lies in between (for me, anyway).
I'm going to sound like a shill for Michael Freeman. But really, I think these two books are exactly what you're looking for:
It makes me so happy to see someone ask this question.
This might sound pretty artsy-fartsy, but my answer to "what should I be thinking about" is... nothing. Don't think about your image, try to feel it. Approach your photography not as a way of recording reality, but as if you were creating a painting. Go about creating your image as if it were on purpose, which is a lot harder than it sounds. Photography's siren song is that pushing a shutter release is so easy and so instantly rewarding.
That would actually my advice for a lot of photographers: study painting, especially the old masters. Everything on their canvases was placed there by them, nothing is there by accident. Every composition is perfect. The best technique I've ever used to develop my sense of composition was tracing over paintings. Just some tracing paper and a pencil, a couple circles and squiggles. "Through the arm to the eyes", as one of my lecturers used to say. Forget about "rules" of composition, they're for first year painting students. Composition is nothing more than creating a visual order, there are millions of ways to do it.
Other practical advice that comes to mind (yes, I went to art school):
Oh, there's so much more. Welcome to photography!
The way I see things being a "geek", "technophile" or other is not any sort of disadvantage when it comes to photography - don't let anyone tell you different or belittle you because you're from a technical background.
Art and science are really two sides of the same coin and at the most fundamental level they have the same goals and maxims, they are both concerned with abstraction, symmetries and beauty.
To answer your question on specifically how to develop an "style" or "eye" it's can be based on analysis and perseverance. I guess most people do this subconsciously but the best photographers will be constantly analysing what they see, what they shoot and what others shoot. This is where technical abilities can pay off as you may be able to consciously break down everything you see whilst others do it without thinking. At the end of the day it's a similar process. So I can't tell you what to do, other than to emphasise perseverance and self belief. Don't think of yourself as a mere camera operator, keep at it and it will happen, in your own way.
I've heard of 2 exercises that sound strange, but will exercise your creative brain. The first I have done, and it sure helped me!
Just for a while, try taking photos with something cheap and lo-fi, like a mobile phone or a second hand Olympus Trip 35, and experiment with black and white. You might find this liberating - you won't be thinking about technical quality, just the image content, and it'll be a chance to be more playful. I'm not suggesting you abandon all your lovely digital equipment, just have a holiday from it for a while and then return to it with what you've learned.
Composition: the classic here is the rule of thirds which, in a nutshell, is envision the scene divided into thirds horizontally and vertically and then place the subject on one of the intersections. However, there are other compositional "rules" that can be ascribed to that have come about over time as a result of visual arts. Wikipedia has a great summary on a number of these with links into further detail.
The reason I bring up composition is that using these, consciously, is a great way to begin to frame much better, more dynamic, photographs. As you use them, and grow in them, you will eventually learn how and when to break them. That, I think, is when you achieve the real vision that you are after.

What to Expect in a C-Section
In This Article:
Low transverse C-section; the surgeryLow Transverse C-Section
In a low transverse C-section (LTCS), the doctor cuts through the lower uterine segment of the uterus, which typically doesn't involve the same tissue as a classical C-section. This region of the uterus has less muscular fiber, and is less easy to tear or rupture with future labors.
There are still risks with a LTCS, but they seem to be fewer in nature. The uterine scar will tear less easily, as we already suggested. However, even though many women can deliver subsequent babies vaginally after this procedure, many doctors still advise going the C-section route with subsequent babies, just to be on the safe side.
What Happens During a Planned C-section?
In a planned C-section (make note of the word "planned" because procedures might work differently in an emergency), the doctor will review the patient's history, make recommendations, and schedule a certain day and time for the surgery.
Before the Surgery
On the day prior to the surgery, the patient is asked not to eat or drink anything after midnight because she should ideally have an empty stomach in order to keep from aspirating. Aspiration occurs when the patient vomits the contents of her stomach, the contents go back into her throat, and then possibly fall back down the windpipe and into her lungs. This is obviously not a good thing and could be life-threatening. The doctor will ask the patient to show up at the hospital at a specific time. (Dr. John stresses how important it is to be on time. Even though it is several hours before your surgery, there is a lot of prep work that has to be done.) The patient will also be informed of any requisite postoperative restrictions, as well as ensuring that she has adequate help after the surgery.
On the morning of the surgery, the nurse will evaluate the baby's heart rate and mother's contraction pattern by using external monitors placed around the mother's abdomen. In addition, the nurse will check the mother's vital signs. The nurse, doctor, and anesthesiologist will review the records again to evaluate any medical complications. Consent forms will be signed and witnessed. The surgeon will ask the mother if she has any questions and will explain what will happen, if that has not already occurred.
Once everything is set, the patient will be taken to the operating room (OR). The nurse may or may not do a shave of the pubic area, depending on the physician's preference. A Foley bladder catheter is inserted to drain the bladder so that it is not in the way of the operating field (basically, they deflate it). At this point, the anesthesiologist takes over. If the indication is not urgent, the patient will receive a regional anesthetic (most likely a spinal) so she stays awake, but the region being worked on is numb. In this way, the patient does not have to be intubated as she is breathing on her own. This is considered to be much safer than a general anesthetic where the patient is put under and is not conscious. (Much nicer to be conscious for your baby's birth.)
If the baby has been continuously monitored up to this point, the monitors are taken away so that the abdomen can be prepared for surgery. The preparation consists of applying sterilizing solutions to kill all the germs on the surface of the skin. Many times it is an iodine solution. If you're allergic to iodine, let the doctor know earlier. Also, let them know if you're allergic to latex.
Before the surgery begins, a hip roll is placed beneath the patient's right hip, to tilt her slightly to the left. They do this for the same reason that the doctors don't want you sleeping on your back during the latter stages of pregnancy because the uterus being heavy can rest on the vena cava, which can restrict the blood flow to the baby.
The patient is then draped, and the surgeons take their places on either side of the patient. Often, there is a second surgeon (who might be a resident) assisting the primary surgeon (your doctor). Obviously, the primary surgeon will be the person performing the operation.
At this point, the surgeon will check with the anesthesiologist to verify that the anesthesia is adequate in other words, they will do a test to make sure the patient can't feel anything in the appropriate area and therefore is ready for surgery. Now the father or significant other is allowed into the operating room. That person will be draped in a gown and facemask to preserve the sterile environment, and he (or she) will be positioned at the head of the bed next to you.
The drape is elevated above the patient's chest so that her face is shielded from the operative field. This is done for two reasons: Doctors want to keep the patient's face shielded from anything that could splatter on it; they also don't want her seeing the trauma of her innards coming out. Let's face it that would be a disgusting thing to witness. So, it's a combination of emotional and physical safety issues.

Suppose I have JS code inside a jsp files, such as this:
String test = null;
var test = <%=test%>;
With Tomcat and Websphere the resulting JS will be:
var test = null;
However, in Weblogic it will be:
var test = ;
So with weblogic there is a syntax error.
I know this is fairly easy problem to solve using a condition; somehthing line if test==null print "null" otherwise print test. However, what I am looking for is some kind of server setting that can change this behavior.
I alreay have the code written, so I don't want to search for every place a variable going into JavaScript might be null.
Thanks, Grae

GENESEO, N.Y. – The State University of New York at Geneseo is among 41 "Best Buy Schools" named in the 2014 edition of "The Fiske Guide to Colleges." Inclusion on the list in the highly respected publication is based on the quality of academic offerings in relation to the cost of attendance.
This year, the publication names 41 institutions – 21 public and 20 private – as "Best Buys," categorized as inexpensive or moderately priced with a four- or five-star academic rating.
The guide is authored by former New York Times education editor Edward Fiske, who launched the guide in 1980 when he sensed that college-bound students and their families needed better information on which to base their educational choices. Not only does the guide have an "Index by Price" that groups public and private institutions into four price categories, from inexpensive to very expensive, but also suggests a number of schools that offer outstanding academics and high quality student life programs with relatively moderate prices.
The guide accepts no consulting, advertising or other fees from colleges and has no outside relationship with colleges working on its behalf. The goal of the publication is to help future students select the best colleges to reach their own goals in a price range that is manageable for their personal circumstances.

User Control Panel, Attachments.
I'm out of posting space for images, and I have a few "former" guns up that I'd like to remove...
How do I delete images, once posted?

My question too... Member Gallery deletions
I have a menu under the individual pics that says "move/delete," but this may just be a mod function. I will bring this thread to js's attention.
In the interim, Jeff, if you want me to delete the pics, just let me know which ones you want gone.

I needa delete some pics so I can upload new ones - but I too see no way to do it.
I couldn't remove them, but I could edit them, so I edited in new pics!
Did anyone ever come up with a solution for this? I need to delete a few photos.
PM a full description (including filenames) to me, and I'll delete them for you.
Might not get done until tomorrow night, though...

What's the difference between
.bashrc and
.bash_profile and which one should I use?
What's the difference between
Traditionally, when you log into a Unix system, the system would start one program for you. That program is a shell, i.e., a program designed to start other programs. It's a command line shell: you start another program by typing its name. The default shell, a Bourne shell, reads commands from
Bash is a Bourne-like shell. It reads commands from
You can invoke a shell directly at any time, for example by launching a terminal emulator inside a GUI environment. If the shell is not a login shell, it doesn't read
On modern unices, there's an added complication related to
Note that you may see here and there recommendations to either put environment variable definitions in
¹ For completeness, by request: if
From this short article
Back in the old days, when pseudo tty's weren't pseudo and actually, well, typed, and UNIXes were accessed by modems so slow you could see each letter being printed to your screen, efficiency was paramount. To help efficiency somewhat you had a concept of a main login window and whatever other windows you used to actually work. In your main window, you'd like notifications to any new mail, possibly run some other programs in the background.
To support this, shells sourced a file
This is a bit of an anachronism now. You don't log into a main shell as much as you log into a gui window manager. There is no main window any different than any other window.
My suggestion - don't worry about this difference, it's based on an older style of using unix. Eliminate the difference in your files. The entire contents of .bash_profile should be:
And put everything you actually want to set in .bashrc
Remember that .bashrc is sourced for all shells, interactive and non-interactive. You can short circuit the sourcing for non-interactive shells by putting this code near the top of .bashrc:

Just purchased the NN3 with the RD8. The "picture" instructions that arrived show and talk about the NN5 w/R-D8, but the unit is an NN3 with RD8 I assume. My tripod has a 1/4" screw mount on the quick release plate and the enclosed 3/8 to 1/4/ adapter screw goes into the RDR OK, but the tripod quick release screw won't go into the adapter (just a couple of turns). If however, I just try the adapter, and screw it on by turing it over, it works. But of course then it won't go into the RD8. Soooo, at a standstill.
P.S. I did download and print the NN3 User Manual, and watched all the relevant videos.

When setting up a new website, how important is it to include keywords and potential search terms in the actual domain name? How heavily is this weighted when it comes to ranking highly on google searches?
You're not going to get an exact answer as no one knows exactly how much weight those keywords carry except Google. We do know that they currently carry lot of value but we also know that Google is working on reducing it.
To add to what John Conde said...
It used to be a ticket to the top but over the past 18 months or so it's been blunted a good bit when it comes to many generic keywords. Google wanted to prevent quick buck artists from buying something like greentennisshoes.com, stuffing it with affiliate ads and rocketing to the top of search results nearly automatically.
In its place, they've begun to rely more on "brand" signals and geo-location signals to filter results, especially on searches for commercial terms. This means that if I look for green tennis shoes I'm probably going to see results from Amazon, Sears and other major retailers as well as local shoe stores (if there are any and depending on if I'm using mobile search or not) rather than a thin affiliate exact keyword match domain.

What is Lightroom
Adobe Lightroom is an application for Mac and Windows that takes many of the photo management features of Adobe Bridge and throws in much of the powerful photo oreientated tools of Photoshop. Lightroom also is a nondestructive photo editor, meaning that when you import an original photo the file will never get overwritten with any changes you do from inside the application.
To learn more about LIghtroom and also grab a free 30 day trial, check out their site...
About the class
I've been using Lightroom for about 2 years now and have a very detailed work flow. Much of the learning curve with an application like this is reworking how you deal with your photos/files, finding out how many of the tools work and figuring what happens behind the UI. I'm still learning new things every day about what Lightroom can do, but would be happy to share much of my knowledge and walk through how my work flow functions and why I do certain things.
--Rubin110 23:55, 27 May 2009 (PDT)
When/where is it
Since 83c is more or less 1 large (small) space, it's hard to run multiple classes at the same time. Currently our options are to have it earlier in the day, or at Rubin110's house.
Next class: 20090617 - Eve of Wednesday June 17th at Rubin110's house. Please contact me for directions.

Please add your name to the list if you're interested. If I don't have your email, please send it to me.

A Descent Into Hell: The True Story of an Altar Boy, a Cheerleader, and a Twisted Texas Murder (Mass Market Paperbound)
Bright, attractive, and both from good families, University of Texas college student Colton Pitonyak and vibrant redhead Jennifer Cave had the world at their beckoning. Cave, an ex-cheerleader, had just landed an exciting new job, while a big-money scholarship to UT's prestigious business school lured Pitonyak to Austin. Yet the former altar boy had a dark, unpredictable streak, one that ensnared him in the perilous underworld of drugs and guns. When Jennifer failed to show up for work on August 18, 2005, her mother became frightened. Sharon Cave's search led to Colton's West Campus apartment, where Jennifer's family discovered a scene worthy of the grisliest horror movie. Meanwhile, Colton Pitonyak was nowhere to be found.
A Descent Into Hell is the gripping true story of one of the most brutal slayings in UT history—and the wild "Bonnie and Clyde-like" flight from justice of a cold-blooded young killer and his would-be girlfriend, who claimed that her unquestioning allegiance to Pitonyak was "just the way I roll."

U.S. Department Of Education May Issue New Guidance on Charters and Special Education
According to
Education Daily
, the recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on public charter schools and special education has prompted U.S. Rep. George Miller, D-California, to call on the Senate to pass a charter school bill adopted last year by the House. "The bill requires charter schools to have recruitment and enrollment practices that promote inclusion, retention, and engage students with limited opportunities to attend charter schools," he said. U.S. Department of Education innovation and improvement chief James Shelton said new forthcoming guidelines may include "charter schools' obligations regarding recruitment, admissions, provision of a free appropriate public education, and accessibility." According to National Association of Charter School Authorizers President Greg Richmond, "Improving access and services for students with disabilities is a shared responsibility, requiring not only action by charter schools but also state education agencies that make sure charter schools get the necessary resources and supports, and authorizers who must actively monitor what's happening."
