I'm using the Adobe CS5 suite and trying to upload all of my pictures to Facebook... and .NEF files are too large to upload, any suggestions?
Well, Facebook isn't going to handle NEF anyways. However, if you have CS5, that means you have Adobe Bridge and the batch functionality to perform image conversion from there. The short example would be...
This is going to run Photoshop. From there you will be presented with a dialog that provides a number of options for batch processing including using the first image as the basis for further changes, file type to save as, etc. You may want to experiment a little with a small set of images, but be aware that Raw conversion to JPEG is seldom, if ever really, a consistent change.
Personally, I would never do this for final images. I've only ever done it for proof images where I've totally controlled the light used in the shoot, but for anything else, including images I intend for display on the web or in print, the editing is done image by image. This is generally because white balance changes, sharpening changes, and a host of other little tweaks that vary as a result of settings, light, and more.
By the way, if you haven't a lot of Photoshop experience with photographs, I'd recommend Scott Kelby's "The Adobe Photoshop CS5 Book for Digital Photographers" as a good place to start (Google if the link doesn't work). There are a lot of other resources, but he covers a lot of ground and does it with some style, so worth the rather small price of admission.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Nikon's own ViewNX, which will allow you to select all the images in a folder and batch convert them from .NEF to .JPG. The program is free, and came with the camera and if not, it can also be downloaded from the Nikon USA site
Facebook upload is already integrated in ViewNX2. Here is a screenshot of a portion of the preferences screen for illustration purposes.
Speaking of Scott Kelby (if you're a neophyte photographer and you've never read his books or visited his site, you're cheating yourself) the tool he recommends for the job is the JPEG extractor utility from Michael Tapes. It works with the embedded JPEG in the RAW (NEF) file, so it won't give you the quality you'd get with a proper "development" in Adobe Camera Raw -- but if you're uploading to Facebook, you don't get to keep your glorious high resolution anyway. "Instant JPEG From Raw" is a free download -- the email download code thing is just Tapes' way of keeping his server bandwidth reasonable (a minor inconvenience is an absolute brick wall to a lot of people).
I use Picasa for that. I would simply import the NEFs from the camera or the camera's memory card. That puts the NEFs in a folder on your computer's disk. Picasa sees the NEFs. You can edit them just like any other photo. Adjust contrast, crop, color, whatever...
At that point, you can click on your folder of photos to select the whole folder. The "Photo Tray" in the lower left should say "Folder Selected..." Then, click Picasa's "Export" button. The Export will create a new folder full of all-edits-applied JPEGs.
Picasa can be downloaded here
There is a very easy way to convert a group of photos to jpeg format within Photoshop. It is done within the Image Processor which is located as follows File > Scripts > Image Processor then a pop-up screen appears. (Depending on your version of Adobe Software, this can also be done in Bridge.)
Within the Image Processor -
Step 1. Locate the folder where the images are stored.
While Photoshop is processing the images, you will not be able to use Photoshop. The Image Processor is an auto process that will create a new image for any image within the folder. (If sub-folders is checked within Step 1, it will also create new images them.)
Note: The Image Processor will create a jpeg file for any picture within the folder. Depending on the number of photos in the folder, size of the images and output size, it can take only a few minutes to over an 45 minutes. [I shoot in raw (nef) format and have a SD card with a lot of memory so output (jpeg/psd) really affects the processing time. As one of the contributors indicated above, I also create jpegs to review/select photos because jpeg files are smaller and faster to load and thus review.]
The easiest way to upload raws to facebook is to use Lightroom and set up a publish channel to point at your facebook. Then you just drag'n'drop files from your library to the publish folder. you can set up default resizing, watermark, screen sharpening, point to albums on your page, etc.
NEF is Nikons Raw image format, which thends to have a size over 10MB.
To display a picture on the internet, mainly embedded into a website like facebook or email, you need to use a compatible image format that is displayable by the browser (client). Most compatible image formats are JPEG, GIF and PNG.
Image sizes commonly used on the internet are below 300KB, which is a fraction of the size of a NEF.
Your NEF's will have a dpi higher that 72. For displaying images on a screen 72 dpi is sufficiant, so you might want to reduce dpi as-well, additional to scaling the image (length or height around 1000px is a good starting point).
You need to convert the NEF into a format and size explained above. As already said by others, you can use any RAW converter to do the job. I would recommend to use Nikons own software like Caputre NX, which offers batch processing, or the View NX, that most probably came with you camera and offers batch processing as-well afaik.
Just a note, be aware what you upload to the internet, especially to facebook ;-)
Create a batch process to convert from .NEF to .JPEG with Photoshop. Don't forget to include closing the picture in your recording as Photoshop does have a finite limit on number of open files. This solution is ideal if you took your photos in the same lighting condition so corrections, if any, are the same.
For corrections: at the very least, you need to reduce your file size (i.e. change dpi, dimensions) to meet Facebook's restrictions.
just use adobe elements organiser. select all the images you want to export and use the File and the Export to new image option. Free, easy and simple without much loss of depth.

In YouTube videos, there are comments and two popular ones stay on the top. I see that for some hot videos on political views (like this one, which is very hot these days), popular comments disappear and less popular appear (though, they support the same idea). I have also seen the same here, where video likes were not accounted and even slowly and systematically decremented. How is it possible and can this be traced somehow?
I guess that there may be a limited history of comments and the top comments disappear as they are removed fall out of the history.

Every time I try to sync music from my iPhone to my computer it says that it has synced with a different iTunes library before. However, I've never synced it to a different one.
I once synced it anyway and I lost all my music and had to redo my whole iPhone-music, so I would like to avoid this. But now it's complaining about the same thing.
How can I fix this permanently?
Every time I try to sync music from my iPhone to my computer it says that it has synced with a different iTunes library before. However, I've never synced it to a different one.
By design, the iPhone will sync iTunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL iTunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you replaced your computer, or hard drive, your phone will see this as a "new" computer. The iTunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software such as Touch Copy, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so. Try this
Past iTunes, App store, & iBookstore content can be re-downloaded. Read here:
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
Your phone should look just like it did when you started, with no data loss.
You should be good to go.
I've had this issue before.
For me I've updated to iTunes match and since my music is now in the cloud it just syncs with the cloud instead of iTunes.
Alternatively could also try updating iTunes to the latest version and updating your iPhone to the latest iOS and resync once more. If it doesn't work you could then make a backup of your iPhone, restore factory settings, restore the backup just made and resync your music.
Also, make sure to manually invoke transfer of all purchases from your iPhone to your iTunes library as per:
It is possible that your iTunes library then recognizes it is already in sync with your iPhone.
It's easy, try Coolmuster iPhone to PC transfer, we can use it to move iPhone music to PC in 2 simple steps, and you can also use it to move other things from iPhone to computer.

If you ever go to a professional conference, here's what you see: 90% of the people attending have their phone at their ear or their fingertips, avoiding eye contact at all costs. It's weak, y'all.
I've written about this before, but, as the fall conference season heats up, I gotta try again. The true gold of a conference is the opportunity to create or widen a professional network. These are folks you can learn from, bounce ideas off of, meet for an occasional happy hour, and maybe even work with one day. Making connections is critical to your career, your well being, and your learning. Period. Make it happen.
So, how do you do it? First, get over yourself. Not to be mean, but honestly, nobody cares, so if someone doesn't respond to your chit chat, it doesn't matter. This isn't reality TV, no one is watching. Just go talk to someone else. Second, recognize that mostly people really do want to connect, find a commonality, have a laugh. Reaching out is a little gift that you're giving their day.
Here are some harmless ways to start a conversation:
Compliment something, if you mean it. People often work to look their best at conferences, so if you truly like someone's bag or shoes or dress, tell them! It's a good way to get a conversation started. It doesn't cost anything to be nice. *Note – this can be a little awkward. Once, an acquaintance came up to me at a national HR conference and, I guess, finding nothing else nice to say, exclaimed, "You got waxed! Your eyebrows look great." Not a lot of opportunity for follow up there…
Go with the context. What seminar are they thinking of attending next? Did they go to the conference bookstore and have a look around? What did they think of the keynote?
Find commonalities. She likes jewelry made from bottle caps, you MAKE jewelry from can tabs. See, you have lots of things to talk about already!
Go meta, if you must – "I know I'd like to meet some people here, but it feels awkward to meet strangers. How have you typically networked at things like this?"
Basically, just relax. Relax, make eye contact, and listen. Look for an opening, something that makes the other person's eyes light up a little, and ask more about that.
BFFs now? Great! Before you end the conversation, let them know you'd like to get in touch again, and give them your card or tell them where they can find you online. If they don't give you one back, it's fine, they may not have any. Make a note of their name in case they get in contact. If you get a card or contact info, follow up two weeks to a month later with a brief note about something relevant to your conversation, and see where things go from there. Keep it light.
If you're getting a lot of people looking around for an escape when you introduce yourself, you might be falling into one of the insecurity traps associated with meeting strangers. Here are a few traps to watch out for.
Don't brag. ("I'm the youngest VP of the largest company in Florida. Here's
my Precious my business card.")
Don't humble-brag. ("You have two kids? And no help? I don't know how I could raise my three without my nannies.")
Don't name drop. ("Oh really? You just started as an HR Clerk at Walmart? Then you must know Prithi W? She's the VP of Supply Chain for Walmart Corporate, I think she reports directly to Bill Simon, Walmart's CEO? We're GREAT friends.")
Don't complain. ("Yeah, these conferences are okay, but the food is terrible. I wish we could get better sandwiches, after all, we'll never eat again and we couldn't possibly bring our own or go off campus. Let's whine about the chips together.")
You look insecure and weak when you show that you feel you MUST establish dominance through status, who you know, or criticizing something you didn't create. You may think you're playing it off, but you're not. Nobody is impressed, and you just made them either judge themselves for not being such a rock star, or judge you for showing your insecure side. You want both parties to walk away from the conversation feeling good! The best conversationalists are secure enough to make the conversation mostly about the other person, and are gracious and supportive.
If you're headed to HRFlorida or the National Nonprofit HR Conference, I'll see you there. And say hello! Just don't ask me about my facial hair.

Is it a good idea to highlight the important words in a text on a web page? What impact does it have on the reader? Does it help to understand the text or does it disturb?
Yes. Jakob Nielsen did a study many years ago and found that users like reading text that's easily scannable.
He's since revisited the subject of writing for the web many times -- highlighting keywords is a recurring theme. One of the first things you'll notice about Nielsen's own writing is he uses bold a lot.
I've been scolded for using too much bold in SO questions, so I learned that...
I'm assuming you're referring to highlighting something in bold text only.
In this case my guideline is to use it, but don't count on it - it does help put the emphasis correctly for someone who actually reads the text (most users don't), but if you need to make sure the user pays attention then it's not enough.
Be sure not to highlight text with underline - it immediately implies a link.
In that regard, I tend to go for what government sites like direct.gov.uk do, and they don't bother, however they do break information up into clear and concise sections.
If you do it, I wouldn't go overboard. I think it does have its place in limited quantities to draw attention to important thoughts or points to be made. It certainly seems to work for a lot of internet sales landing pages. If you're looking for an example that doesn't look super spammy, take a look at some of the 37signals' product sales pages.
Remember search engines are looking for bold text. If you choose to do it - be SEO aware.
I remember there were many blogs and websites that used the yellow marker effect to highlight text but I don't see it that often anymore. I wonder why...

Makeup That Does More
You spend precious morning minutes putting it on, and another chunk of time taking it off at night, day after day after day....No wonder you want your makeup to deliver even greater benefits! Beauty companies have embraced this multitasking approach. Increasingly, foundations, blushes, and lipsticks boast the same wrinkle-fighting ingredients, double-digit SPFs, and botanical boosters you've come to expect from skin-care creams, sunscreens, and masks.
Anti-Aging Makeup
The promise: Youth-boosting skin-care ingredients such as retinol, peptides, and antioxidants are popping up in foundations, lipsticks, and blushes, with claims they'll help minimize wrinkles and brown spots by improving their appearance even after you are no longer wearing the makeup.
The reality: When makeup is loaded with proven wrinkle-reducing ingredients like retinol and peptides, it can be effective, says Patricia Farris, M.D., a clinical assistant professor of dermatology at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans. But to see an improvement over time, these ingredients must be present above certain concentrations. For vitamin C, it's 5 to 10 percent, says Dr. Farris. For retinol, it's at least 0.1 percent. Two products that have that 0.1 percent: GloMinerals GloCream Blush in Fig or Guava ($25 each, gloskincare.com). Beauty companies don't often tell you these percentages, though you can hedge your bets by checking that active ingredients like vitamins and retinol are higher up on the ingredient list — and by choosing creamy formulas over powders. Retinol and vitamin E, for example, are oily materials. "They're difficult to blend in powder at high levels because they make the particles stick together," says Perry Romanowski, an independent cosmetics chemist. Instead, try a liquid such as L'Oréal Paris Visible Lift Line-Minimizing & Tone-Enhancing Makeup ($14.25, drugstores) with pro-retinol and SPF 17.
Also look closely at the claims. Few anti-aging cosmetics explicitly promise to eliminate wrinkles or sun damage, says Brandith Irwin, M.D., a Seattle dermatologist and author of The Surgery-Free Makeover. Instead, they "minimize the appearance of wrinkles" or "visibly reduce fine lines." As for those studies showing a reduction in wrinkle depth, dermatologists often credit the moisture in makeup, not the anti-aging ingredients, for doing most of the heavy lifting. "The quickest way to make a wrinkle look better is to smear moisturizer on it," Dr. Farris says. Skin is like a sponge, wrinkled and rough when dry, soft and smooth once you add water. Infusing it with hydrators is faster (and cheaper) than adding enough retinol or peptides to makeup to smooth skin long-term.
Bottom line: Turn-back-the-clock makeup may offer some benefits, but it probably won't get you carded at the wineshop.

Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
I have copied this code from the nestedlist video tutorial and modified it a little. I am having this error :
- Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
My JSon
{ "items" : [ { "id": 1, "name": "Ed Spencer", "email": "firstname.lastname@example.com" }, { "id": 2, "name": "Abe Elias", "email": "email@example.com" } ] }
Ext.regModel('listItem', { fields: ['id','name','mail'] }); listStoreItem = new Ext.data.TreeStore({ model: 'listItem', proxy: { type: 'ajax', url: '/public/models/contacts.json', reader: { type: 'tree', //Parceque c'est une NestedList root: 'items' } } }); Viewport = Ext.extend(Ext.NestedList, { fullscreen: true, title: "Contacts list", store: listStoreItem }) NestedListDemo = new Ext.Application({ name: "NestedList", launch: function() { viewport = new Viewport(); } });
Can anyone help me with that? Thanks
4 Aug 2011 4:15 AM #2
Unless it's a copy/paste typo you should have a closing curly bracket for your json and if you have your json in a file add the file extension:
url: '/public/models/contacts.json'
root: 'items'
finally you should have nested data for your nested list. and try to avoid global variables in general.
4 Aug 2011 4:19 AM #3
Sorry for that i've been trying different possibilities and i forgot to put back the root line of code. I've just edited it but i still have the same error though. Other suggestions?
4 Aug 2011 4:45 AM #4
The video has the exact code as below when showing list arguments the first time. I am sorry but i don't understand when you say i should have nested data
NestedListDemo.music_store = new Ext.data.TreeStore({ model: 'ListItem', proxy: { type: 'ajax', url: '/tracks/catalogue.json', reader: { type: 'tree', root: 'items' } } });

general problem store json objects ?
Could it be it is a general problem.
Coz I try long time already to store a jsonp object and it will not working.
I already opened a thread for a similar problem:
My data are nested data, too and after store command the store object has no data.
In the Sencha touch api abut the reader are some parts of examples, because I though I made something wrong with the regModels.
But i do not know it was not runing ....
4 Aug 2011 5:48 AM #6
4 Aug 2011 5:56 AM #7
not really an alternative
The only way how I could store data was in an array.
Instead of "url" parameter I used the "data" parameter.
But this is non alternative for me, because I get JSON data fom a third system.
Maybe I could convert now the JSON in array.
But it is not a solution, too. It needs time on the client.
In the kitchensink demo JSON data will loaded, but then immediately displayed in an template.
I wondering, why no one else have this kind of problems ...
4 Aug 2011 7:52 AM #8
5 Aug 2011 5:26 AM #9
It works
Thanks you guys for your help. After hours of debugging and looking for something else to replace Sencha it works. I've put my data into a variable named 'data' that i call within the NestedList as root attribute like below. I've also added leaf to my data.
var store = new Ext.data.TreeStore({ model: 'ListItem', root: data, proxy: { type: 'ajax', reader: { type: 'tree', root: 'items' } } });

How can I smoothly bring in a new player and character with little or no notice? I run a semi-public game shop pathfinder game, and I sometimes have people show up to play I hadn't planned on. Often enough they have a character, but that character may not mesh with the existing party or setting. How can I smoothly make the necessary character adjustments and bring the player on board to the game? I can handle the story adjustments, and my existing players know and are somewhat prepared for accepted new players on the fly.

I didn't have an answer for this, but then I read this great answer by Paraic Mulgrew and it reminded me of somethign I learnt in college:
It's the tuckman model! Yay!
I have a "Welcome to the group" document, which I prepare before every new campaign. I give copies to all players, and when a new player joins, I review the document to ensure that it still describes the campaign accurately.
This document describes:
I would recommend that you suggest some minor justifications for the character and his/her background that places them in the setting. Using character backstories (as proposed by multiple gaming sources) will give you a deep source of rational for where this character may have come from, no matter how exotic the build. That should suffice for the first, impromptu session.
Afterwards, I would talk with the player and see if they are interested in attending regularly. If so, take some time to coordinate a better backstory that furthers the group's story line. If their character seems too exotic for the mood/tone of your game, now would be a good time to address the issue with the player. Then they can make a more informed choice as to whether to continue to attend.
If the character is just a bit quirky, use that fluff as a storyline springboard and rationize potential relationships to the campaigns villians, organizations, and infrastructure.
In short, roll with it the first game using pre generated backstories and then afterward, work with the player to invest them into the game is a more seemless manner.
You have to take this into account with your campaign background. We ran a multi referee campaign where characters where allows to roam from adventure to adventure by different referees called New Gallo. One of the premises of this was that each session had to start and finished at the Port of New Christina. New character arrived on the ship from the Old World and had to bring everything the needed with them. Resupply was almost impossible, it was either in New Christina or the surrounding wilderness or it may takes weeks or months to arrive. I think a similar idea would work for any location like a large city or trading post near a large forest with ancient ruins (Pavis springs to mind).
We did set specific rules around character creation at the start, but these where reduced over time (although no evil was never dropped).
First, I'd say it mostly depends on the level of your campaign. Since high level characters can have a more profound impact on your plot & encounters they are imho much more difficult to account for, especially if they are spellcasters. So at some point you may run into a level range where conflicts and extensive modifications are unavoidable.
Anyway, I would suggest several things that could help you handle such a situation.
Explain the rules
Ideally, you have at least 20 to 30 minutes to take the new player aside and in a few words explain the social contract of your group. Explain how you run your game, what you and the other players expect in terms of behavior and style of play and answer any questions he has. Also give him a run down about the agreed on house rules at your table.
This is also the perfect time to start adapting the character, since at this time you can focus on the new player and help him with the mechanical aspects or the background.
Adapt the character
You mentioned that the eventually existing characters "may not mesh with the existing party or setting", so I assume that the difficulties lie primarily with either the type of character ("But I want to play an evil, greedy assassin that is out to rob your followers of Pelor!") or with his abilities ("What do you mean I can't play my divination specialist in your mystery investigation campaign?"). In either case I think the only option is to ask the player to change the character type/alignment/background according to your suggestions and/or remove the problematic mechanical elements (feats, spells, items, ...).
In my experience it's difficult to introduce a new player to the action right from the start, but in this case this is actually a minor advantage since that gives the player some time in which he can modify his character. Ideally, while doing so the player should also write down the shorthand for each feat's/spell's/item's rulebook behind each rule element, so that you can quickly check if the modified character is okay or clashes with some other restrictions.
However, not always the player is able or willing to make the modifications without basically redoing the whole character and losing lots of effective game time. In that case your emergency measures would take over.
Emergency measures!
If the situation you describe occurs quite often (e.g., more than once every 10 games) I'd say it'd be a good idea to build a stack of pregenerated characters for exactly such players. Because the characters were built by you, there is no risk that they have an item/spell or something else that busts your plot or overly simplifies your encounters, and there is little risk that the characters' background or personality conflicts with the other players.
Start with Freud's "Tell me about your mother" GM to character as a person (as opposed to a sheet of numbers). Once you get the chuckle over slide into asking things like the character's potential background, it doesn't hurt to phrase the questions in a way that leads the answer like "Do you think your fighter was more of the sort to work his way up in the city/royal guards or army... or more of the type to fight to protect small villages across the countryside in need of help? That alone lets you peg their character as something military/militia or something mercenary/avenger hero type Twist things around for different classes to make the questions relevant. in the span of 5-10 minutes you go from "I like swords!" to an interesting character you can weave into the plot tapestry going forward to really draw people in with one of those campaigns that skip the nameless evil to something everyone wants to be involved with. try to squeeze in questions about things like goals and/or motives when applicable & don't hesitate to give out something minor that's either so trivial as to be irrelevant (but cool), or likely to be replaced soon enough like a Masterwork+1 doodad relevant to the backstory created in those 5-10 minutes.
If you do the leading questions right, you can pretty much drop them seamlessly into the path of your group without the even realizing that you just had the shape their character into the shape you kinda needed plotwise.
If its a public game where people can join andl eave at will, you need to make every game episodic. Beginning and ending, with a story arc for longtime players. End at a point where it makes sense for players to pick up a stranger. Inn, church, popular adventuring dungeon etc.
If this is a pickup game and people are bringing characters, don't force the guy who obviously doesnt want commitment to commit. Roll with the punches. Maybe he's a foreigner. Make him tell you why he's there with an on the fly background. Two sentences i always ask at conventions.

The title pretty much says it all, I couldn't find in the Authentication doc much about the errors (other than the HTTP code will be 400)?
I've updated the documentation with a section about errors. This behavior is defined more by the OAuth 2.0 spec than by me, so it's naturally a little out of sync with the rest of the API. Authentication is also just... weird when compared to pure data queries.
The answer is, it depends. In no case during implicit authentication is a 400 possible, sine you don't actually query the API in a way where we can provide a response code (you're just redirecting users). There is one place in explicit auth where a 400 is possible.
In short, during a redirect an error will be reported by either
Number 1 will occur if the error that was encountered makes it impossible to identify the application (or if the application has been flagged as malicious). Basically, if we can't safely redirect then we don't.
Number 2 occurs in the majority of cases, exactly what the error was will be indicated by the

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Shawnee County Emergency Management announced plans Thursday for selling its next round of low-cost weather radios.
Emergency Management Director Dave Sterbenz says they'll be for sale from 2 to 6 pm Monday, Nov. 12, at Crestview Shelter House in Topeka.
The cost is $7.70. Only cash payment is accepted.
Recipients must show proof they are a Shawnee County resident. Only one radio per household is allowed under the grant that made the low-cost offer possible.
Those who reserved a radio through an earlier waiting list also can pick it up at this time.
Sterbenz ordered 1,000 additional radios for the Monday sale. He was inundated with requests and quickly sold out of three previous orders of several hundred each. The radios are available by a program through which the state picks up 75-percent of the cost.

I want to install a ceiling fan with a light in a spare bedroom with no ceiling wiring. What size wire do I need to use to install with cord management channels and plug into an outlet controlled by a switch?
If you want to plug the ceiling fan into an outlet I would say don't. Electrical receptacles are a source of unnecessary resistance. Merely alter the receptacle to a wiremould style box and run the wiremould (through a switch box) to the ceiling fan, making sure you have a good mechanical connection (e.g. wire nuts) within the receptacle/junction box(es). I won't go into cable fill violations here - it's easy enough to parse on the webs. As far as AWG goes - it's easy to determine based on length of run and wattage of aforementioned ceiling fan. It's a safe bet that 14 ga. or larger is sufficient to run any ceiling fan. Individual wires of many gauges are available at most hardware stores in the US. Tim Post's comment above with regard to the single gang extension box and the suitably supported fan-rated box still apply, and should be given more thought than picking the wire gauge.
Good luck with your air movement! Paul

The "Lunch with the Birds" event at the MRB Lewis & Clark Center last Friday attracted 11 observers and dozens of birds.
Susan Quinn reports that that 16 bird species were represented. The weather was perfect for observers inside the center and for the birds it was sunny, windy and about 50 degrees.
The next Lunch with the Birds event is scheduled Friday, Jan. 25, from noon until 1:00. Bird watchers are encouraged to bring their binoculars if they have them. They should bring a sack lunch if they want to eat at the center.
The L & C Center is located in the bluffs along the Missouri River. Bird watchers will view the feeders, the nearby wooded areas, the bottom lands between the Nebraska and Iowa bluffs, and the Missouri River FROM WINDOWS INSIDE THE CENTER. Watchers will not be out in the cold.

I am wanting to get a design printed on cotton laminate. Is it possible to get non-pantone colours printed? Everyone I've spoken to so far says yes but then says maybe not. I can't get a straight answer. You help would be much appreciated!
If you choose another colour system
You'll have to speak to your printer about which colours they accept. They may even match to a physical object, paint sample or something else. It's worth noting that in a situation like that, they're probably just going to pull out a Pantone book and match as closely as they can to your sample.
If you choose to use a Pantone colour
Most screen printers will match as closely as possible to a Pantone spot colour if you give them a PMS number. Your printer will be able to give you the best advice though. Please also note that there's quite a few different Pantone colour sets with different uses and intentions.
One of the most common Pantone systems is Pantone Solid Coated & Solid Uncoated systems.
Please also note that different printing methods yield different results. You really will have to talk to whoever's handling the print job for you. If you have a PMS swatch or book with the tear-off blocks, it can be a great idea to show the printer, just to make absolutely sure they match things as well as possible.
Printers can print in any color they want. Pantone is merely one particular (and nearly universal) standard for picking said colors. If you pick a PMS color, every printer on the planet will know which color you are talking about.
But they can certainly print in any color you want--but the catch will be how are they going to match the color you want? For a small-ish print job, your best bet would be to show up for a press check. Have them mix the inks with you so you can adjust as desired.

It's not common among all universities to take students to area professional conferences, but Dakota Wesleyan University professor Pam Boline sees it as a necessary aspect of their training.
Boline, associate professor of human services at DWU, took 16 of her students to the 13th Annual Community Response to Child Abuse Conference in Sioux Falls on Oct. 4.
"It is important for human service students to see themselves as professionals in training," Boline said. "Professional conferences such as this provide them the opportunity to hear experts in the field, meet other professionals attending the conference and synthesize what they are learning in the classroom with current trends in the field."
Human services majors might go on to be social workers, drug counselors, work in child protection, criminal justice fields or private counseling, to name a few areas of interest.

Nomi Ruiz (Jessica 6) interview on Diapo France
Who are you Nomi Ruiz? For how long have you been singing? How do you define your music?
I've been singing since before i could speak in full sentences. I would define my music as soul/pop.
Since 2009, you collaborate with Morgan Wiley and Andrew Raposo and you are known as Jessica 6. Can you say some words about this part of your life?
I love the beauty of collaboration. This is what Jessika 6 represents to me. It's music that will only exist when Andrew, Morgan and I get together and free ourselves in the creative process.
The record "White Horse" is as much languishing as releasing. What is it talking about?
"White Horse" is about indulgence. About feeling free by losing yourself in the night life and about the strengh as well as consequence of those actions.
On the stage, videos, pictures...you always look sexy and enchantress. Is it an important face of nomi ruiz 's character?
Definitely. It's also a part of who i am outside my work. I love to exaggerate feminity. I feel empowered by feminine energy and push that through sexuality and fashion.
A Jessica 6's album is in process...So can you reveal some of the aspects which will make the album's music?
The album is called "See The Light" and is a journey through various flavors of pop music. It goes from dance to r&b, new jack swing to soul and psychedelia. The lyrical content is very personal to me. Like a diary of the past 2 years of my life.
Your appearances in Fun Girl and White Horse 's video shot are really strange and mysterious. What kind of environment would you like to express in next videos?
I would love to incorporate more dancing and choreography in the next video.
I have been in NYC last year...living just closed to the Brooklyn Museum. For you, what is the best place in NYC?
I love the neighborhood i grew up in, Sunset Park. It's the perfect place to go shopping for something sexy then get some great latin food, walk through the park and enjoy a view of the entire new York City skyline.
What is the best club for dancing?
Cielo on Sunday's when Honey Dijon is Djing
Do u like contemporary art and performance art?
I love photography and video work as well as art installations.
Which artists do you love?
I am lucky to have many close friends who are amazing artists such as Haluk Akakce, Antony Hegarty, Bianca Cassidy, Alice O' Mally.
Which vocalists do you love?
I love Nina Simone, Donny Hathaway, Dusty Springfield, Ray LaMontagne, Adèle, Amy Winehouse.
You spent one year with Hercules and Love Affair. What could you tell us about this experience...
It was amazing being on so many stages and performing for so many people.
You already came to Paris as i learnt watching a video of you on a bridge. Did you love your trip? What do you think of the city?
It's such a beautiful city! I love walking around at night when you can get lost in all the sexy neon lights. Also has the best lingerie shopping as well as my favorite dessert...the banana/nutella crêpe.
What about french music artists?
Les nubians.
Now, what is the next step?
More tourning. Playing bigger and better shows all time and always creating more music for the world.

Easter is right around the corner! Not to overlook the real reason for the religious holiday, I read a story about the candy that's so often given out on Easter. One of my favorites is jelly beans! But that might change. Here's what I read from Albright & O'Malley & Brenner/O'Malley Media Group, LLC this morning:
How Jelly Beans are Shiny
"Most everyone is familiar with shellac as a wood-finishing product. It's often used to give furniture, guitars, and even AK-47's that special shine. But did you know that it is also commonly used as a food additive? Yep, that's why those jelly beans you gorge on every Easter are so shiny.
But what exactly is shellac? Are you sure you want to know? (If you want to keep enjoying your jelly beans, I wouldn't read any further.)
Shellac is derived from the excretions of an insect, Kerria Iacca, most commonly found in the forests of Thailand. Kerria Iacca uses its slime as means to stick to the trees on which it lives. Candy makers then come along and harvest the Kerria Iacca excretion by scraping it right off the tree. Unfortunately for you and your future enjoyment of these shiny candies, this leaves little room for quality control measures to guarantee that the insects aren't scooped up as well.
Once that happens, and it almost always does, the insects simply become part of the shellac-making process. And the candy-making process and the candy-eating process.
Don't eat candy? That's okay. You're probably eating bugs, too. During the cleaning process, apples lose their natural shine. Care to guess how it's restored?
If all of this is making you a bit queasy, it's understandable. It's not every day that you find out you've been celebrating the resurrection of Jesus by consuming handfuls of insect-infused treats your entire life.
But before you head to teh medicine cabinet, consider this. That pill you want to take to quell your nausea? It didn't get shiny on its own either."
Thanks Albright & O'Malley! Either I won't be able to eat jelly beans again... or everytime I do I'll picture those little bugs and their "excretions."

This is where my life as an SS-Class Otaku/Gamer shall be explored.I know you're curious about it
I'll also post pics of various anime or video games I watched/played or want to AND my opinion of them.
Otaku Profile
Just so you know,I'm a SS-class Otaku(and yeah,when I say I'm Otaku,I do include the japanese meaning),with extensive knowledge on anime culture.I'm also quite an anime enthusiast,always passionate and ready to watch new anime.To be honest,though,I rarely watch realistic and psychological anime.YES,I collect figures and other items,YES I get very emotional when watching or reading anime(and only when watching anime) and YES I do like Moe and Ecchi.
In short,I'm the biggest otaku you know.
As a gamer,Well,I currently own 5 consoles:A Wii,A Xbox 360,a DS and a PSP.My Wii's nickname is Wonder and my 360's is Haku.I have over 40 games,where
- 41% of my games are on Wii(including Wiiware and Vcon games)
- 29% on 360
- 22% on PS2
Most of my games are Anime-style.I prefer RPGs,2D Fighting games and Dating sims/Gal games.I'm also a collector who loves to buy Limited Edition Games.I don't really play most mainstream games actually,though.Most gamers know hammered in my head how ''superior'' they are to anything else,but without me,some games will go on uncredited for their quality and I find this sad
Oh yeah,and I'm the proud founder and leader of the elite Hanabira Clan!

Early Diagnosis = Effective Treatment
According to new research from a large CA health plan, more children are being diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) now than were a decade ago. Researchers found the proportion of five- to 11-year-olds diagnosed with ADHD increased from 2.5 percent in 2001 to 3.1 percent in 2010.
Parents' awareness is very important in ADHD. Timely diagnosis of the disease is very important so the treatment is effective. If you diagnose the child early when the disease occurs, the child may function better in school and also socially.
If you think your child may displaying symptoms of ADHD, please consult your family physician. Experienced therapists at ISIS Healthcare will be here to help, if you should need their expertise.

Hi all,
Can someone please explain the idea and the main steps in a random real forcing? - what makes it (the new real) different from adding a Cohen real? - is there a good reference for it?
Hi all,
Can someone please explain the idea and the main steps in a random real forcing? - what makes it (the new real) different from adding a Cohen real? - is there a good reference for it?
This is relatively easy to answer. One of main differences between Cohen forcing and random real forcing is that random real forcing does not add an unbounded real.
Let me sketch you a proof of this fact. Let $p$ be a set of positive measure $\varepsilon$ and assume that $p$ forces $\dot f$ to be a name for a function from $\omega$ to $\omega$.
Find a maximal antichain $p_n$, $n\in\omega$, below $p$ such that
each $p_n$ decides $\dot f(0)$, i.e., for some $m\in\omega$ forces $\dot f(0)$ to be $m$.
Now finitely many of the $p_n$ will union up to a subset of $p$ that has a measure close to the measure of $p$. Call this union $q_0$. Now $q_0$ does not decide $\dot f(0)$, but it gives you an upper bound, the maximum of the values forced on $\dot f(0)$ by the finitely many $p_n$ that union up to $q_0$.
This property is known as $\omega^\omega$-boundingness and can be formulated in terms of a distributivity property of the corresponding Boolean algebra (the completion of the forcing notion, in this case the measure algebra on the reals). Jech elaborates on that (i.e., proves the equivalence of these two properties) in his book.
Since Cohen forcing adds an unbounded real, the $\omega^\omega$-boundingness of random real forcing shows that it does not add Cohen reals, or algebraically speaking, that the measure algebra has no countable atomless regular subalgebra. Also, it can be shown the Cohen forcing does not add a random real.
A good source for these questions is Bartoszynski and Judah: Set Theory of the Real Line.

Some of the worlds most beautiful natural landscapes and incredible cities lie just across the Canadian border. This two-minute video gives an overview of the process, as well a brief description of many of the items.
The pilot in command must have a current:
All U.S. registered aircraft must have:
|Up to 2,300 lbs.
|$100,000 public liability only
|2,301 to 5,000 lbs.
|$500,000 public liability only
|5,001 to 12,500 lbs.
|$1,000,000 public liability and $300,000 passenger liability per passenger on board
You are required to provide advance notification to CBSA by calling 1-888/CAN-PASS (226-7277). You must provide notification no less than two (2) hours but no more than 48 hours prior to your arrival. A filed and activated flight plan is required for border crossing, and your first landing in Canada must be at an airport of entry. You will be required to provide the customs office with information about yourself, passengers, your flight, and airport of entry. After arrival at your airport of entry, if there is no customs officer present, immediately contact the Canadian CANPASS office again at the same number and receive an arrival report number or be advised to await a customs inspection.
Thanks to an agreement between the FAA and Transport Canada, flying an experimental aircraft into Canada is now easier than ever. All that is needed is the document Standardized Validation of a Special Airworthiness Certificate—Experimental, for the Purpose of Operating a United States-Registered Amateur-Built Aircraft in Canadian Airspace which details the restrictions (minor in nature) applicable in Canadian airspace. Download the form and carry it with the aircraft at all times in Canada.
To access weather information and file flight plans while flying in Canada, contact Canadian Flight Service by calling 866/WX-BRIEF (992-7433). This telephone number can only be used within the borders of Canada. More specific flight services and local weather advisories can be obtained by contacting the individual Flight Information Centres within each Canadian province.
For remote areas, take tiedown equipment with you and have your ADF or GPS in good working order. Slot reservations are required for Toronto Pearson International Airport for VFR and IFR aircraft. A Mode C transponder is required when flying into any terminal control area and Class C airspace in Canada. Mode C transponders are also required in some Class D and E airspace, normally associated with some terminal areas and some control zones. The terminal charts (VTAs) and the Canada Flight Supplement provide the details.
Certain rifles and shotguns for sport, competition, or survival and ammunition are permitted in Canada, but be sure you declare them when going through customs. An advance permit is required from Canadian authorities for certain restricted firearms.
Overflights that originate and end in the United States require that the pilot must file a flight plan, and Canadian regulations must be observed when flying in Canadian airspace. Write "Canada overflight" in the remarks section of the flight plan.
Note: The Canadian government now charges U.S.-registered aircraft for ATC services based on the aircraft certified gross weight. The current fee is approximately $17.00 CAN per quarter for aircraft under 2 metric tons (4,410 lb gross) and $56.75 for aircraft between 2 and 3 metric tons (up to 6,614 lb gross). See the NavCanada Guide to Charges for details for aircraft in higher weight classes. Also, weight-based fees for use of the airport terminal may apply at some airports.
A foreign-registered aircraft is charged on the basis of the first recorded arrival into a Canadian aerodrome or entry into Canadian airspace, excluding flights between two points in the U.S.
eAPIS is not required for Canadian overflights if taking off and landing at U.S. airports.

CNN cited the American Immigration Council's recent report ...
IPC's Mary Giovagnoli in USA Today
Published on Tue, Nov 27, 2012
IPC Director Mary Giovagnoli was quoted in USA Today's article on Senators Kyl and Hutchison's ACHIEVE Act legislation. Here's an excerpt:
WASHINGTON -- Arizona Sen.Jon Kyl and Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison introduced legislation Tuesday to give legal status to young immigrants brought to the United States illegally as children.
The bill by the two Southwest Republicans -- and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. -- would offer special student and work visas and ultimately permanent legal status to those who earn a college degree or serve four years in the military.
"We need to have a discussion that is sensible, that is calm," said Kyl, who, like Hutchison, is retiring in January. "This particular piece of immigration reform seemed a logical place to begin."
Unlike several previous "Dream Act"-style bills, it does not offer a special pathway to citizenship, a conscious omission that is likely to be opposed by immigrant rights' groups and many Democrats.
"I think this is a doubled-edged sword," said Mary Giovagnoli, director of the Immigration Policy Center, which advocates for immigrants' rights. "On one hand, I think it's great that people are putting ideas out there about how to go forward on immigration. At the same time, I think it's really unfortunate that the choice is being made to put solutions out there that don't include the opportunity for people to become citizens."
