I am planning on doing some photo sessions for friends and want to do it right. I want to have a contract, but I'm not sure what all I need to include.
What are the most important issues to cover in a photo contract?
Those are the biggies.
Just to add to the excellent answers above, I'd say:
Every photography session is a social interaction, a social event. And everyone has some rights on that image. You as the photographer have the rights of interpreting the lighting, creating the set, the angles and framing of the shot, the visual language expressed by the entire composition. That's you. Great job. But then there's also the subject. The model (friend) who share through using their face, their gestures, their style and their composure (or lack there of). That's them. There's copyright and law protecting them too. So a contract that takes everything into consideration (where the main thing is that you NEVER use the face of your friend in a widely successful and well funded international hemorrhoid commercial) IS important.
I highly recommend the following book to start, it's probably one of the better books out there that will fill your brain full of helpful gestalt about how to think about all this. Teaching you how to fish, not just presenting a fully cleaned and filleted fish.
From there, I have noticed in my reading that a lot of photography business books will further provide very helpful hints and things to watch out for. Knowledge is your friend. Read up as much as you can at a local reference library.

FBRequest *uploadPhotoRequest = [FBRequest requestWithDelegate:self];
[uploadPhotoRequest call:@"photos.upload" params:args];
but in my fbconnect i have this one instead: (I think the version of the api is different)
[_fbRequest call:(NSString *) params:(NSDictionary *) dataParam:(NSData *)];
Also I'm using this method to post to the wall:
- (void)postToWall { FBStreamDialog* dialog = [[[FBStreamDialog
alloc] init] autorelease];
dialog.userMessagePrompt = @"Enter your message:";
dialog.attachment = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"{\"name\":\"%@ Esta conectado desde TravelFan iPhone App\",\"caption\":\"Viajar te cambia la vida\",\"description\":\"\",\"media\":[{\"type\":\"image\",\"src\":\"http://www.travelfan.com.mx/content/templates/default/images/logo_travel.jpg\",\"href\":\"http://www.travelfan.com.mx/\"}]}",
dialog.actionLinks = @"[{\"text\":\"Obten TravelFan

In this method I can send an image but not as a photo its just for the app logo and its an attachment.
Can anyone tell how to post photos to the wall pls ?? Any help is apreciated XD.

Heart Disease Health Center
Millions of Women Unaware They Have Arterial Disease
Feb. 15, 2012 -- Between 4 million and 5 million women in the United States have peripheral artery disease, or PAD, but few are diagnosed and even fewer receive adequate treatment.
In a special report released at the midpoint of American Heart Month, the American Heart Association is calling for greater efforts to identify and diagnose women at risk for the condition that commonly affects the leg arteries, and is also calling for more women to be involved in PAD studies.
A major goal is to raise awareness about a disease that millions of women have, but few know about, says University of Minnesota Medical School professor of medicine, epidemiology, and community health, Alan T. Hirsch, MD, who was the lead author of the statement.
"The rate of death and the health-care costs associated with PAD are at least comparable to those of heart disease and stroke," he says.
PAD Raises Heart, Stroke Risk
Peripheral artery disease occurs when arteries that supply blood to the body's extremities become narrowed or clogged with fatty plaque, restricting blood flow. PAD most commonly affects the arteries of the legs and pelvis.
Hirsch says few people realize that damage to the arteries in the legs can be as serious as damage to those that lead directly to the heart and brain.
Among the key findings in the report:
- Women with PAD are two to three times more likely to have a stroke or heart attack than women without the condition. If left untreated, PAD can sometimes lead to amputation.
- Age is a major risk factor for PAD for women and men, with people aged 50 or older being at increased risk and those over age 80 at highest risk.
- PAD appears to impact a woman's ability to get around more than men, and this is especially true for African-American women.
"Damage to the arteries in the legs and damage to those leading to the brain or heart carry comparable risk for future heart attack, stroke, or death," Hirsch says.
PAD Is Often a Silent Disease
Classic symptoms of peripheral artery disease include leg pain and cramping when walking or exercising, but most people with the condition do not have these warning signs.

Remembering Cuban Crisis
Published: Friday, February 21, 2014 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 11:37 p.m.
In response to Charlie Crist and his demand for free trade to Cuba, I remember when, in 1962, a U-2 spy plane over Cuba captured images of nuclear-missile sites being built by the Soviets. Only a stone's throw from the U.S. and the threats of the Soviet Union, President John F. Kennedy took action and put up a naval blockade on all armament shipments to Cuba. In a speech to the nation on Oct. 22, Kennedy called for the removal of missiles already in Cuba and the destruction of all launch sites.
Over the next week, Soviet ships carrying weapons to Cuba were locked in a stalemate with U.S. warships in the Caribbean. Faced with the very real possibility of nuclear war, Kennedy decided to approach Khrushchev with a deal to end the standoff peacefully.
Publicly, Kennedy promised not to invade Cuba if the Soviets withdrew their missiles. Thirteen days after the start of the crisis, Khrushchev accepted the offer and called back Soviet ships.
It didn't take long and a lot of other people were beginning to see that the situation in Cuba was more intense than even Kennedy was aware. After declassification of top-secret information and years of analysis by scholars and government officials, the reality of how close the world actually came to nuclear war is startling.
We all seem to know more about the Cuban Missile Crisis than ex-governor Charlie Crist. We don't need Cuba and its dealings with the communists. They need us.
If there are any votes your money can buy, it won't be from any of the senior citizens and the Cuban people who remember those who died in the gulf trying to reach safety in Florida. They know and they remember the dangerous times and starving.
We all remember the threat of the nuclear holocaust to Florida.

What are the causes and risk factors of prolonged grief?
The risk factors for experiencing more serious symptoms of grief for a longer period of time can be related to the physical and emotional health of the survivor before the loss, the relationship between the bereaved and their loved one, as well as to the nature of the death. For example, it is not uncommon for surviving loved ones who had a contentious or strained relationship, or otherwise unresolved issues with the deceased to suffer severe feelings of grief. Parents who have lost their child are at a significantly higher risk of divorce compared to couples that have not. They are also at increased risk for a decline in emotional health, including being psychiatrically hospitalized following the loss. This is a particular risk for mothers who have lost a child.
Bereaved individuals who have experienced an unexpected or violent death of a loved one may be at greater risk for suffering from major depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or complicated grief. Major depression is a psychiatric disorder characterized by depression and/or irritability that lasts at least two weeks in a row and is accompanied by a number of other symptoms, like problems with sleep, appetite, weight, concentration, or energy level and may also lead to the sufferer experiencing unjustified guilt, losing interest in activities he or she used to enjoy, or thoughts of wanting to kill themselves or someone else. PTSD refers to a condition that involves the sufferer enduring an experience that significantly threatened their sense of safety or well-being (for example, the suicide or homicide of a loved one), then re-experiencing the event through intrusive memories, physical or emotional reactions, nightmares or flashbacks (feeling as if the trauma is happening again at times when the sufferer is awake); developing a hypersensitivity to events that are normal (for example, being quite irritable, getting startled very easily, having trouble sleeping, or difficulty trusting others); avoiding things that remind the person of the traumatic event (for example, people, places, or things that the sufferer may associate with the death of their loved one) and developing or worsening negative moods or ways of thinking after the traumatic event (for example, trouble recalling an important aspect of the trauma, persistent negative beliefs, blaming oneself or others for the trauma, feeling detached from others, or persistent trouble experiencing positive emotions). Being able to care for a dying loved one tends to promote the healing process for those who are left behind. That care can either be provided at home, in the hospital, or in hospice care. Hospice is a program or facility that provides special care for people whose health has declined to the point that they are near the end of their life. Such programs or facilities also provide special care for their families.

Just finished eating this dish. Chewy, gooey and delicious. The full-bodied white and a little extra Moz. 'kicked it up a notch'. I personally liked the amount of beans recommended. I'll be making this again.
Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
419 Reviews for Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
Delicious! Only change I made was using fresh diced cherry tomatoes and adding Italian seasoning. It wasn't too time-consuming, and I had no problems cooking the gnocchi as directed. Will make again and again!
This is one of the best recipes I found on the website! The flavors are wonderful, and it's still just as good the next day. The only change I would make is adding a few less beans. I think 3/4 of the can would be plenty.
This is one of my very favorites - I make it heartier by adding sweet Italian turkey sausage, which I fry up (no oil needed) before I cook the gnocchi. So good, fairly easy, and a one-pot (well, pan) meal!
Very good meal with great leftovers. Quick and easy to make and tastes wonderful. I usually add a little more cheese than the recipe calls for. Only downside is cooking the gnocchi. I've made this dish many times and finally switched to boiling the gnocchi rather than pan frying them because they stick to the pan and make a mess. Enjoy!

text: Here is another favorite character of mine from a very popular anime film called Spirited Away. For a second chibi character I want to show you "how to draw chibi Chihiro", step by step. Spirited Away is one of my favorite films because it's by Studio Ghibli, and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. I already have the original form of Chihiro in the anime section under 'characters'. If you look to the left of this lesson you can also find it because it is listed as a related tutorial. Spirited Away is a very mystical and adventurous movie that I can watch over and over again. I really enjoyed drawing chibi Chihiro. She is not only adorable in regular form, she's also very cute as a chibi. I think those of you that are also fans of Spirited Away, you will love this submission too. I have to get going because there is some other tuts I have to get uploaded since I lagged the whole drawing day. Peace out people and like always enjoy!

WeKnow - Noisebridge collective knowledge bank
Noisebridge is affiliated with many knowledgable people in many disciplines. We should categorize and standardize these disciplines so that it is possible for anyone in our community to evaluate themselves against the totality of knowledge in a given discipline.
Simply put, we should make lists of what people know, so that anyone can learn it. This will happen because people will discover where they're at relative to others in the Noisebridge community, and will be able to decide to who learn from, or whether they should offer themselves as a teacher.
Disciplines of knowledge in WeKnow
Following are the different topics covered by WeKnow, with links to the knowledge we have on them.
- How do you put a program onto an Arduino (or Boarduino)?
- What is the basic difference between an actual "Arduino" and a Boarduino?
- What three types of input/output pins does an Arduino have?
- What three software calls (subroutines) are used in the Blink program?

Laurel County Jailer Jamie Mosley says his facility will soon take some inmates from the McCreary County Detention Center at the request of the state.
Mosley told The Times-Tribune that the Kentucky Department of Corrections made the request because the population at the Laurel County Detention Center has decreased over the last 60 days.
Mosley said the Corrections Department advised the jail it was necessary to relocate the inmates, even "if we have to have a mat on the floor."
Mosley said all medical expenses would be paid, and it would bring in approximately $10,000-$15,000 a month in additional revenue.

Making a Case for Case Management
By Manish Palaparthy-Oracle on Jun 09, 2013
- Flexible yet Rigid
- structured while unstructured
- predictable yet cater to the unexpected
- managed but free
It would be evident that this fine art of balancing requires trade-offs on both ends of the spectrum.
- Straight thru Processing: These optimizations start with increasing straight-thru-processing and reducing the manual activities
- Increase visibility: Increasing visibility on both manual as well as automatic(system) activities. The visibility could range from reporting on monthly SLAs & KPIs of the processes to near Real-time reporting.
- Process Control: ultimately leading to better process control
- Predictability: The sequence in which tasks & events are executed are known. In highly predictable processes there is little or no change in the sequence.
- Flexibility: Flexibility allows the process to reach different results every time the process executes. The ability to reach different results is based on business dynamics and modeled as rules
- Visibility: If we have low predictability & high flexibility, what will business owners do with the KPI metrics they collect? the process is unpredictable anyway.
Let me use a simple metric called "score" to rank the degrees of predictability, flexibility and Visibility required on process execution & plot it on a radar chart
|Process Characteristics
|Score (1..10), 10 Highest
You can easily now see that the above scores show the process in question is high flexibility with low visibility & predictability. This process I believe would require a "Case". When you design(structure)a case, you are designing for unpredictability.
- The decision making follows a more the structure approach of Branch --> Zone-->Region-->Central as would be followed by any bank in India
- Business Rules decide the level of approval based on values such as loan amount, Net worth of loan seeker, customer credit scores etc.,
- Canceling the loan means just terminating the loan process.
- and several other sequential activities
- The decision making should done by stakeholders of the case rather then structured management hierarchy
- The activities could be modeled based on milestones instead of sequence of activities
- each case would be handled by a case manager
- Canceling a loan is just one many case events that the solution allows for. It does not necessarily terminate the case
- The case activities themselves could be either modeled as BPM processes or simple Human Tasks
- Below is the brief story board design of the case, quite a departure from earlier storyboard

Michael Keane's in-depth collection of terms dealing with modern strategy and tactics is both impressive and engaging. While other works remain focused on nuclear strategy or the Cold War, the thrust here is on modern terminology—such things as "axis of evil," "CNN effect," and "military operations other than war." Historical examples supplement the definitions and quotes from leading strategic thinkers provide further insights. While the contents are professional and accurate, the author is not afraid to inject relevant humor and color to make the book enjoyable to read as well as edifying. It is sure to be a welcome reference for defense strategists and concerned citizens alike.
Michael Keane is a lecturer on strategy at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business. He is also a Fellow of the Department of Defense's National Security Education Program.

Should I be concerned about someone removing a watermark I add to my image? Are there steps I can take to ensure that it's not possible?
Can someone remove the watermark from your image? Yes, of course.
Is it easy? No, not without the right tools
Just like with any other area of human endeavor, it's an arms race. Whatever protection can be devised can be circumvented. Whatever attack is known, can be defended against. It's a never-ending cycle.
A watermark on an image keeps honest people honest, just like a lock on a door. But a watermark (or any other security scheme) will never protect from someone with true larcenous intent.
A good question to ask is: How much value do I place on this image, and how much time and money do I want to spend to make it a little harder (not impossible) for someone to use without my consent?
One method to consider is that instead of adding a water mark, is to add more of a stamp im some place that it won't be easily removable. Such as, if you have a picture of a person, put a black (c) partly over their face. This will force someone to actually recreate part of the image vs just removing a watermark. But of course, this looks pretty ugly. It would depend on how you're using the watermarked image of course.
Probably the best method is to only make a small version of your image available. People can copy it, but it will just look plain ugly, which won't stop people, but it's better than nothing :)

I am adding a feedback form to a web page and would like to know if it is safe to simply filter the contents of the TEXTAREA element (after decoding) through the 'mail' command to send an e-mail to the page's maintainer.
I have looked at the man page and cannot see a way to abuse this, in particular as long as 'mail' does not run in interactive mode, tilde escapes are disabled and '.' on a line by itself does not terminate the message body.
But is there any other danger I should be aware of?
The command looks something like:

Necklace & Bracelet Clasp Types
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Zircon often suffers for its name's similarity to "cubic zirconia," the simulated diamond. The stone zircon, however, is actually a beautiful natural gemstone. It is named from the Persian word "zargun," meaning "gold-colored." This is despite the fact that it comes in a wide range of rainbow colors. The majority of zircons are brown or yellow-brown, while pure red and green are the most valuable colors. The yellow-red to reddish-brown variety is called "hyacinth."
For many years, the most popular type of zircon was the colorless variety. More than any other natural stone, colorless zircons produce a brilliant sparkle similar to diamonds. The most popular color today tends to be the bright pastel blue variety. Sometimes called "starlite," blue zircon has recently become considered an alternative birthstone for December.
Zircon is one of the heaviest gemstones, meaning that it will look smaller than other varieties of the same weight. It ranks a hardness between 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is mined in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar and Australia.
Travelers during the 11th century wore zircon amulets for protection and to encourage welcome greetings on their journeys. In the Middle Ages, the stone was said to bring wisdom and prosperity to its owner. Hindu mythology even mentions the gem when referencing the Kalpa Tree, which was a glowing tree covered with gemstone fruit and leaves of zircon.
Morganite is the soft pink, sometimes peach or lavender colored, variety of beryl. Often referred to as "pink beryl," morganite has been called "pink emerald" and "pink aquamarine" to emphasize the kinship to its popular cousins. The pastel gem is colored by trace amounts of manganese in the crystal structure. It has excellent fire and is dichroic, meaning it shows pink hues when viewed from one angle and near colorless properties from another. Almost all morganite is heat-treated to produce or enhance the pink color. Lower quality morganite occurs in colors ranging from a peach-orange to a pinkish-yellow, but once it's heat-treated, the color changes to a beautiful soft pink.
First discovered in Madagascar in 1911, morganite was named after the American banker and gem enthusiast, John Pierpont Morgan. Legend says that he went down with the Titanic, but Morgan actually missed the doomed maiden voyage and died the following year in Rome, just shy of his 76th birthday. While morganite can be found in Mozambique, Namibia, Afghanistan, Russia and the United States, the finest morganites come from Madagascar and Brazil. In fact, the largest faceted morganite came from Madagascar. It is a 598.70ct cushion-shaped stone residing in the British Museum.
Morganite's hardness ranks 7.5-8.0 on the Mohs Scale . With its dazzling luster, exquisite color and sufficient hardness, the stone is especially suitable for jewelry. Unfortunately, morganite is relatively rare. This fact alone prevents it from achieving greater popularity as a jewelry gem.

Monday area politicians announced an assistance program called Homeownership Initiative that will help low income families buy a house. The program lets families put their city housing assistance vouchers toward homeownership. Families must be considered self-sufficient by the city's housing department before they can qualify.
Program supporters say it really gives families a leg up in life. U.S. Representative Ron Lewis, a supporter of the program, says this complements President Bush's new goal to increase the number of minority homeowners by at least 5.5 million before the end of the decade.

New Record in Cycling's Race of Truth
In professional cycling there is a discipline called the Individual Time Trial, or the ITT, in which competitors are released from the starting line onto a race course, and compete against the clock for the day's best time. Maybe you've seen this—it's the one where nearly every rider wears a funny aerodynamic helmet. A time trial is nicknamed "the race of truth" because riders cannot solicit help from teammates, seek refuge from the wind, or enjoy any number of tiny advantages offered by riding within the protective blob of racers known as the peloton. A proper TT is pure suffering, and the strongest rider is supposed to win. At least that's the idea.

- TIMELINE: Doping in Cycling
Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2012, will be remembered as professional cycling's most important race of truth. After months of anticipation, the United States Anti-Doping Agency released a long report explaining its decision to strip seven Tour de France titles from the sport's most famous racer, Lance Armstrong, and bar him from the sport for life. It is a sober and saddening document, one that shows how tragically polluted elite-level cycling had become, and threatens Armstrong's status as an inspirational figure for people living with cancer and their families. Throughout the saga, Armstrong and his representatives have rejected Usada's allegations, attacking its investigation as a "witch hunt."
But Wednesday was a bigger day than Armstrong, an athlete who has forever had an outsize and sometimes overbearing grip on bike racing. As Usada's report went public, it was stunning to see the parade of former teammates come forward with public doping confessions, like a mini tribunal in spandex. There was Levi Leipheimer, a longtime Armstrong teammate who outlined his choice to dope in an essay published by The Wall Street Journal. "Right or wrong, in my mind the choice was 'do it or go home,'" Leipheimer wrote. There was a confession from Christian Vande Velde, an affable former Armstrong teammate who learned to ride on the frigid roads around Chicago, and an anguished statement from David Zabriskie, one of the sport's beloved eccentrics. "I questioned, I resisted," Zabriskie wrote, "but in the end, I felt cornered and succumbed to the pressure."
None of those confessions had quite the impact as the one from George Hincapie, the lanky New York City rider who rose through the sport to become Armstrong's most visible lieutenant, often seen at Armstrong's side during challenging moments in races. Hincapie had always been a quiet sort, a senior rider protective of cycling and his teammates, and his testimony to Usada had been viewed as a decisive reversal, Cronkite turning against the war. Hincapie's confession described an environment in which it was "not possible to compete at the highest level" without performance enhancing drugs.
"I deeply regret that choice and sincerely apologize to my family, teammates and fans," Hincapie said in his statement.
There were other confessions—former Armstrong teammates Michael Barry and Tom Danielson; and a prior one from Jonathan Vaughters, an ex-teammate who runs a vigorously antidoping team with Danielson, Vande Velde and Zabriskie as members. Of course, there were also the highly-publicized admissions of Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton. This is the cycling equivalent of nearly the entire starting lineup walking into the front office and turning in their uniforms. While Landis and Hamilton were easy for Armstrong to attack—both men had made aggressive efforts in the past to deny doping, only to admit it later—this broader group is harder to challenge. Is Lance Armstrong the victim of a far-reaching conspiracy of confessions?
You will be told that none of this matters, because it all allegedly took place so long ago, and everyone supposedly does it anyway. Here's why it matters: Whenever there's a doping scandal—not just in cycling, but in any sport—there's this usual charade in which the accused party either denies the allegation, or accepts guilt, and regardless of the answer, the whole event gets distilled into a lazy, sole-actor scenario in which sketchy drugs were obtained from shadowy sources, and there's no effort to understand the culture or institutional pressure from which such decisions are made. What Usada has alleged here is not a couple of newbies passing a needle—it's an elaborate system designed to get an edge, endorsed and abetted by coaches and doctors. And what these riders are truly agitated about in their confessions are not the syringes and substances, or even Armstrong, but an environment in which doping felt compulsory to survive, and silence is expected. That is how a sport develops and perpetuates a drug problem, and testing is clearly not the answer, even now. An entire culture must be broken. This report is the biggest step in the history of cycling.
Armstrong decided this summer to not fight Usada's case, saying "enough is enough," but the fury will continue. Usada will get blasted as unconstitutional and obsessive and a waste of taxpayer money, as if an alleged systematic doping program under the umbrella of the U.S. Postal Service isn't a hundred times worse. Surely there will be challenges to Usada's authority as the case now goes to the UCI, the sport's governing body. It's tempting to see this as another ugly day for cycling, but it's not. This is what honesty often looks like: messy and painful. This is why Wednesday felt like a race of truth. The strongest riders won.
Corrections & Amplifications
The U.S. Postal Service doesn't receive any meaningful appropriations from Congress, although it has borrowed $15 billion from the U.S. Treasury to cover revenue shortfalls. An earlier version of this column said that Lance Armstrong's cycling team was partly paid for with taxpayer money under the umbrella of team sponsor, the U.S. Postal Service.

King Abdullah chairs Cabinet session (7/18/11)
July 18, 2011
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz began the Cabinet session at Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah today with a briefing on his latest contacts with foreign leaders, describing meetings with Sudanese President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabr Al-Thani, and Arab League Secretary General Dr. Nabil Al-Arabi; telephone calls with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and French President Nicolas Sarkozy; and a message from Gambian President Yahya Jammeh.
Then, the Cabinet discussed a number of reports on the latest developments in the Arab world. The ministers welcomed the establishment of the state of South Sudan and declared the Kingdom's readiness to establish diplomatic relations with the new country. Furthermore, they expressed the hope that peace and mutual respect will prevail between Sudan and South Sudan, in order to achieve prosperity and stability in the region.
Next, the Cabinet hailed the efforts exerted by the Ministerial Committee on the Arab Peace Initiative, which has worked to mobilize international support for the recognition of the State of Palestine, in accordance with the June 4, 1967 borders and with Eastern Jerusalem as its capital, and to achieve full U.N. membership for Palestine. The ministers called upon the international community to take a firm stance to compel Israel to respect international law and to withdraw completely from all Arab territories occupied in 1967.
The Cabinet also condemned the blasts that killed a number of people in Mumbai, India last week. It renewed the Kingdom's condemnation of all forms of terrorism and offered condolences to the families of the victims, as well as to the Indian government and people.
Turning to its weekly agenda, the Cabinet approved the final accounts of the Saudi Wildlife Commission for fiscal year 1430/1431 H.; approved the Reference Model of the Convention on the Transfer of Persons Sentenced to Deprivation of Freedom between the Kingdom and the countries with whom cooperation in this field is of interest; approved a number of measures pertaining to the draft Universal Declaration of Human Duties; authorized the Minister of Higher Education to sign a project to train Saudi medical specialists in France under the cooperation agreement in the field of higher education and scientific research; and approved a memorandum of understanding between the Saudi Ministry of Health and the Canadian Ministry of Health and Public Health Agency.
The Cabinet approved the appointments of Dr. Sulaiman Al-Turki as Economic Adviser at the Ministry of Finance (15th rank); Abdulaziz Al-Thweini as Director General of Rights at the Ministry of Interior (14th rank); and Obeidallah Al-Sanaa as Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry for Audit at the Ministry of Civil Service (14th rank).

Modern Woodmen match up to $2,500. Each year the group contributes more than $6.5 million to charitable causes.
The Steubenville chapter's efforts raised $1,500 for Edison FFA, which included a $750 match from the Modern Woodmen's home office.
SEMINAR: Free seminars are being offered to landowners and businesses who need to know more about the mineral and royalty process associated with shale development.
The seminars are hosted by F.N.B. Wealth Management, an affiliate of First National Bank. Teams of legal and tax experts will offer insight on the leasing process; economic issues involving property and the value of gas rights; drilling and related environmental issues; and legal and tax issues related to gas wealth.
Sessions will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Undo's, 51130 National Road, St. Clairsville, and from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. June 5 at First National Bank, 805 Main St., Wintersville.
RECOGNIZED: FirstEnergy Corp. was recognized as a Tree Line USA utility by the National Arbor Day Foundation on behalf of FirstEnergy's 10 utility companies.
The ceremony was held in Mentor. It was the 14 th time FirstEnery has earned the designation.
"Trees are a critical part of urban landscapes all across the United States," said John Rosenow, founder and chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. "Service providers like FirstEnergy utilities show that taking care of urban trees is good for business, for customers and for the community."
Award-winning companies must meet five program standards: demonstrating excellence in tree care, employee "best practices" training, public education on appropriate plantings, a tree-based energy conservation program and Arbor Day events.
"Our goal is to deliver safe and reliable electricity to our customers while honoring our commitment to maintaining natural beauty in the communities we serve," said William Boyd, director of vegetation management at FirstEnergy. "This award is a reflection of achieving that goal."
In addition to enhancing service reliability and natural beauty, FirstEnergy's investment in vegetation management programs also is designed to help ensure public safety and the safety of utility-line crews, especially during storms and other hazardous conditions.

This is also a very popular pony from MLP so I know most of you will recognize her name and design. I still sometimes can't believe that My Little Pony is popular for cartoon and toy line that was developed in the 80's. Anyways, this is a fun tutorial to follow especially if you are a fan of MLP. I will be back later with more tuts for you all.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

text: Ever since I uploaded that lesson on girl Mario people have been asking me to make a tutorial on "how to draw girl Luigi", step by step so here it is. As you can see from the image girl Luigi is taller and slender then her sister girl Mario. I can see that for some odd reason girl Mario made it to the top 50. I mean I knew people where going to like the lesson, but I did't think it was going to be a tut that made it to the top 50. I don't know if girl Luigi will follow in girl Mario's footsteps because Mario has always been more popular then his green colored brother. Anyways I do hope you have fun with this tut. I will be back a bit later with more lessons because there is still four more that needs to be submitted. So if you want to stick around go ahead, or you can come back later. The choice is yours and yours alone.

AUSTIN (November 7, 2012)--Fall color is showing up in state parks in parts of Texas, the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife said Wednesday.
As cooler weather begins to creep across the state, the foliage is beginning to show its fall colors, particularly in areas not severely impacted by the drought that have gotten some rain over the summer and early autumn, TPWD botanist Jackie Poole said.
Some Places Worth Visiting
(Source: Texas Parks and Wildlife Department)
In the Panhandle, Palo Duro Canyon State Park's cottonwood trees' yellow leaves glint in the sunlight and the skunkbush sumacs are just about to turn.
Northwest of San Antonio, the bigtooth maples and other hardwoods at Lost Maples State Natural Area are showing hints of color around their edges and are expected to be in peak color by Veterans Day. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department strongly suggests that to avoid long lines of traffic, try to visit Lost Maples during the week.
Northwest of Austin at Inks Lake State Park near Burnet, the sycamore trees are sporting golden foliage and the cypress trees lining the lake have adorned themselves in shades of brown, orange, and red.
Just north of Dallas at Eisenhower State Park, and around Lake Texoma, elm trees, winged sumacs, and oak trees are turning shades of red and are accompanied by ash and bois d'arc trees ornamented with yellow leaves.
On the eastern ridge of the Texas/ Louisiana border at Martin Creek Lake State Park, sumac, black gum, and other foliage are showing hues of red, gold and purple.
Native Plants To Watch
Andrea DeLong-Amaya, director of horticulture for the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin says many native Hill Country plants found to provide the best fall color will achieve peak color shortly after the first frost. Some of those species include:
Flame-leaf sumac (Rhus lanceolata) - just starting to turn now. Orange/red.
Poision ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) - just starting to turn now. Orange/red.
Texas red oak (Quercus texana) - usually best color around or after Thanksgiving. Dark red.
Elbowbush (Forestiera pubescens) - will turn soon. Yellow.
Cedar elm (Ulmus crassifolia) - will turn soon. Yellow.
Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) - turning now. Orange/red.
Grasses like bushy bluestem (Andropogon glomeratus), little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) and big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii)

…and internet gaming in general. Most of them are complete garbage and shameless cash grabs. I don't blame Kong for having them on their site, I really just wish they would stop promoting them so heavily. Just go take a look at the "Featured Games" on the main page, and you will see what I'm talking about. There are at least 3 MMOs featured on there, "New Server Just Added" "Get XX Item For Free!" blah blah blah.
Ugh, this is one of those trends that I wish would suffer a quick death.

Why Does Desiring God Offer Everything Online for Free?
Posting all of our content online for free is something we love to do. There is also a theology behind it. We made this video to talk a bit about that. In it I discuss three reasons we post everything for free:
- It reduces friction
- The gospel is free
- We exist first to serve, not be served

I saw an ad in marie claire with a gent in a ballet coStume, he looked like a dancer, but could just be a model in tights.
There were scuffs on his shoes, makes me think it was a real dancer or a very good wardrobe mistress.

When or where did Grant danced the Nutcracker PDD? Thanks.
Edward Villella
Grant, his recent performance of the Pas from The Nutcracker was beautiful. His handsome looks were complimented by his ability to make his partner look like everything was effortless. He enabled her to go for anything knowing that he was there. He was beautiful to watch, and made his partner look even better.

The American Revolution was not simply a battle between the independence-minded colonists and the oppressive British. As Thomas B. Allen reminds us, it was also a savage and often deeply personal civil war, in which conflicting visions of America pitted neighbor against neighbor and Patriot against Tory on the battlefield, on the village green, and even in church.
In this outstanding and vital history, Allen tells the complete story of the Tories, tracing their lives and experiences throughout the revolutionary period. Based on documents in archives from Nova Scotia to London, Tories adds a fresh perspective to our knowledge of the Revolution and sheds an important new light on the little-known figures whose lives were forever changed when they remained faithful to their mother country.
About the Author
Thomas B. Allen is the author of numerous history books, including George Washington, Spymaster and Remember Valley Forge. A frequent contributor to Smithsonian Magazine, National Geographic, Military History Quarterly, Military History, Naval History, the U.S. Naval Institute's Proceedings, and other publications, he lives in Bethesda, Maryland.
