i am a bit confused if the NN3's arm is long enough to hold a Sigma 10-20mm F4/5.6 EX on a Nikon D70? On flickr i've seen a photo of someones setup with on of these lenses and he needs to use an adaptor in order to match the lenses length.
On the other hand there is an entry in the settings table for this combination. Could anyone confirm that it will work before i order a NN3?
Thank you,

This course should be renamed skip city. I've not played a course that has so many skip shot lines that locals take. Really skippy because the soil is mostly this hard packed stuff that discs just glance huge off of if hitting at the correct angle. Not much grass, a few sand boxes, not enough parking, and I drove by the entrance trying to find the place a few times. Kinda strange flow to the course a few places, kinda dirty, but. . . a lot of fun, and that's what counts for me. Worth playing. Locals are cool.

Thanks! Was thinking about buying a new one. So I bought this one just now.
Fitting a 4.5 lb chicken is going to be pretty tight, as most chickens are usually larger.
I had one of these, you get what you pay for. It had two settings..High and higher.. Cooks too hot = cooks too fast = not slow cooker
@dernst_ca1: It also has a "keep warm" setting.
I have used this exact cooker for several years and, while it may be slightly cramped for large meals, it's perfect for a couple or single. I never found it to cook too hot. I have left it running on low for 10 hours and came home to a perfect pot roast.
What a bummer. Just went to Wal-Mart to pick mine up. The box looked like it had been used for field goal practice before a football game. I asked for another one and was told to go and see if there was one on the floor. Wrong thing to say to me.
So after I drained the clerk of all her ignorance and apathy, I asked for a refund. I guess I'll just cook my roast in the oven.

Salutations. Dijkstra wrote that even a few lines of seemingly simple code could be hopelessly ambiguous. In at least one work, which I can't find now to save my life, he gave a little example program to demonstrate this ambiguity.

Are you sure that the paper was by Dijkstra? Reflections on Trusting Trust by Ken Thompson sounds like it could be what you were thinking of. It demonstrates how absolutely simple, straightforward, and correct programs could wind up doing something absolutely unexpected that isn't visible at all in the source. Even if it isn't what you were thinking of, it is a worthwhile paper to read.
Going a different direction, if you want excellent examples of short programs with surprising behavior, the underhanded C contest is great. For example look at the 2008 winner. The challenge was to write a command line program to blank out part of a picture, in such a way that the picture visually was blanked out perfectly, but the file retains some information about the redacted part of the image. AND in such a way that your code could pass code review. (You could choose the format that the picture is stored in.)

So, here's the deal. I have an html table that I want to populate. Specificaly the first row is the one that is filled with elements from a mysql database. To be exact, the table is a questionnaire about mobile phones. The first row is the header where the cellphone names are loaded from the database. There is also a select tag that has company names as options in it. I need to trigger an onChange event on the select tag to reload the page and refill the first row with the new names of mobiles from the company that is currently selected in the dropdown list. This is what my select almost looks like:
<select name="select" class="companies" onChange="reloadPageWithNewElements()">
$sql = "SELECT cname FROM companies;";
$rs = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)) {
echo "<option value=\"".$row['cname']."\">".$row['cname']."</option>\n ";
So... is there a way to refresh this page with onChange and pass the selected value to the same page again and assign it in a new php variable so i can do the query i need to fill my table?
//$mobileCompanies = $_GET["selectedValue"];
$sql = "SELECT mname FROM ".$mobileCompanies.";";
$rs = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)) {
echo "
".$row['mname']."
	";
something like this. (The reloadPageWithNewElements() and selectedValue are just an idea for now)

Well the title says it all. I am confused since the characteristic polynomial is used to derive eigen values so all the roots are eigen values. Now if I have another set of values which satisfy the characteristic polynomial then those should also be a eigen values right?
I am looking at this matrix.
3 -1 -1
-1 3 -1
-1 -1 3
The eigen values come out as 1,4,4 but if I use 1,1,1 as values of lambda and put it in the characteristic equation, it still satisfies the characteristic polynomial. This is all very confusing. Maybe some of my concepts are wrong.
Let me explain my confusion a little more, and where I was thinking wrong
If I have my eigenvalues then the characteristic equation is given by |A - \lambda *I| = 0,right? But in my not so well conditioned mind I made a huge mistake. Let me first tell you that this was taken from a multiple choice question where 1,1,1 and 1,4,4 were two answers. So I thought I would just put eigenvalues in the characteristic equation and see if it satisfies. Calculator can do the determinant calculation(casio Fx-991MS) and save on a lot of time (I could solve the 3 variable equation as well but deriving that equation seems like a long and error prone process). But in my mighty dumbness I put all the three values in the characteristic equation at the same time. So of course 1,1,1 seemed to satisfy as eigenvalues. What I should have done was checked each number separately. Sorry for kind of a foolish question.

Sabre Holdings Case Study Webcast Recap
By Irem Radzik-Oracle on May 16, 2013
Last week at Oracle we had a very important event. In addition to the visit by the roaming Gnome, who really enjoyed posing for pictures on our campus, I had the priviledge to host a webcast with guest speaker Amjad Saeed from Sabre Holdings. We focused on Sabre's data integration solution leveraging Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integrator for their enterprise travel data warehouse (ETDW).
Amjad, who leads the development effort for Sabre's enterprise data warehouse, presented us how they approached various data integration challenges, such as growing number of sources and data volumes, and what results they were able to achieve. He shared with us how using Oracle's data integration products in heterogeneous environments enabled right-time market insights, reduced complexity, and decreased time to market by 40%. Sabre was also able to standardize development for its global DW development team, achieve real-time view in the execution of the integration processes, and the ability to manage the data warehouse & BI performance on demand. I would like to thank Amjad again very much for taking the time to share their data integration best practices with us on this webcast.
In this webcast my colleague Sandrine Riley and I provided an overview of Oracle Data Integration products' differentiators. We explained architectural strengths that deliver a complete and integrated platform that offers high performance, fast time-to-value, and low cost of ownership. If you have not had a chance to attend the live event we have the webcast now available on demand via this link for you to watch at your convenience:
Webcast Replay: Sabre Holdings Case Study: Accelerating Innovation using Oracle Data Integration
There were many great questions from our audience. Unfortunately we did not have enough time to respond to all of them. While we are individually following up with the attendees, I also want to post the questions and answer for some of the commonly asked questions here.
Question: How do I learn Oracle Data Integrator or GoldenGate? Is training the only option ?
Answer: We highly recommend training
through Oracle University. The courses will cover all the
foundational components needed to get up and running with ODI or
GoldenGate. Oracle University offers instructor-led and online
trainings. You can go to http://education.oracle.com to get a
complete listing of the courses available.Additionally – but not
in replacement of training – you can get started with a guided
'getting started' type tutorial which you can find on our OTN page: in the 'Getting Started' section of the page.Also, there are some helpful
'Oracle by Example' exercises/videos which you can find on the same page.
For Oracle GoldenGate, we recommend watching instructional videos on its Youtube channel: Youtube/oraclegoldengate. A good example is here
Last but not least, at Oracle OpenWorld there are opportunities to learn in depth by attending our hands-on-labs, even though it does not compare to/replace taking training.
Question: Compare and contrast Oracle Data Integrator to the Oracle Warehouse Builder ETL process. Is ODI repository-driven and based on creation of "maps" when creating ETL modules?
Answer: ODI has been built from the ground up to be heterogeneous – so it will excel on both Oracle and non-Oracle platforms. OWB has been a more Oracle centric product. ODI mappings are developed with a declarative design based approach, and processes are executed via an agent – who is orchestrating and delegating the workload in a set-based manner to the database. OWB deploys packages of code on the database and produces more procedural code. For more details – please read our ODI architecture white paper.
Question: Is the metadata navigator for ODI flexible and comprehensive so that it could be used as a documentation tool for the ETL?
Answer: Oracle Data Integrator's metadata navigator has been renamed – now called ODI Console. The ODI console is a web-based interface to view in a more picture based manner what is inside of the ODI repository. It could be used as documentation. Beyond the ODI console, ODI provides full documentation from the ODI Studio. For any given process, project, etc. you are able to right click – and there is an option that says 'print' – and this will provide you with a PDF document including the details down to the transformations. These documents may be a more appropriate method of documentation. Also – please check out a whitepaper on Managing Metadata with ODI.
If you would like to learn more about Oracle Data Integration products please check out our free resources here. I also would like to remind you to follow us on social media if you do not already. You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Linkedin.

As I mentioned yesterday, Canadian Thanksgiving will soon be upon us. And by us I mean mainly me since most of my readers are American. I thought I had better take some dishes for a trial run before I make them for members of my family next weekend, like this roast. I will warn you now that the stuffing is a tad finicky. I think when I make it next week I will add in a slice of bread or so to make it all stick together. I also discovered that I made the chestnuts pieces way too big--small is the way to go with stuffing.
Get your water on its way to boiling in your steamer
- 1 1/2 cup vital wheat gluten
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp poultry spice
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup soy milk
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1/4 tsp apple cider vinegar
1. Whisk together dry ingredients in a bowl. Whisk together wet ingredients in a separate bowl and add to dry. Mix with a wooden spoon into a wet dough. If it seems too wet, add a bit more gluten flour. It should be soft and pliable, but still hold together.
2. Transfer dough to counter top or board. With your hands, flatten into a rectangle, about 1/2" thick. The width will depend on how wide your steamer is. Make sure it will fit.
3. Put stuffing in a line the center of the dough. Compress the stuffing in your hands so the center of the roast will be firm. Gently but firmly roll the seitan with the stuffing in the middle (i.e. make sure there is a cavity in the middle with the stuffing in it--don't roll it like a jelly roll). Seal the ends and seam as best you can.
4. Transfer the roll to a piece of extra wide, extra strength aluminum foil (it is important to have this), and tightly roll up like a Tootsie Roll.
5. Steam for 30 mins, turning over after 15 mins. While steaming, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Then, place roast in a loaf pan and bake for 25 mins.
The roast, unwrapped, after coming out of the oven.

I'd like to backup my system without turning it off. The system clone should also able to run in an other machine.
I've tried to "dd" the entire system partition on another disk, after that I'm ensured that there's no administrative tasks launched. I think I had to tell to the grub to boot on that disk, so I've executed the command:
grub-install /dev/sdc1
but I got this error:
The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
I know that I am doing is not very clean, so have you a good solution to reach my goals or a idea to solve the grub problem?

It was a wild scene with an officer chasing the pickup for miles through Snohomish County at speeds of up to 95 mph.
The drama began in Bothell at 11:20 p.m. Sunday when a police officer in a patrol car spotted the stolen truck and attempted to pull the driver over near a local motel.
According to police reports, the pickup truck driver refused to stop and took off, running over a curb and through a red light before merging onto northbound Interstate 405. The officer followed with siren and emergency lights activated as the pickup swerved around several cars, eventually reaching speeds of up to 90 mph.
As the pickup and patrol car merged onto northbound Interstate 5, the officer broke off the pursuit but still continued to follow the pickup at a distance with no emergency lights or siren.
At that point the pickup driver apparently lost sight of the police car. He slowed down and appeared to be trying to blend in with traffic, according to the officer's report.
At that point, the pickup driver suddenly made a U-turn in front of traffic and pulled into a gas station at the corner of 14th Place West and 164th Street SW.
The pickup then accelerated, slamming into the back of another car, police reports say. The officer quickly pulled his patrol car in behind the pickup in an attempt to block it in.
The pickup then suddenly accelerated backwards into the patrol car in an apparent attempt to push it out of the way. The pickup then lurched forward through a small gap and was able to make it out of the lot and back into northbound I-5, accelerating to speeds above 90 mph as the officer continued to follow.
The pickup later exited the freeway, turning onto Evergreen Way and heading north, blasting through several red lights at speeds of up to 95 mph as the officer followed with emergency lights and sirens back on, according to the officer's report.
At the intersection of Rucker and Pacific avenues in Everett, the stolen pickup slammed into another car, flipped upside down and slid up onto the sidewalk. The car it hit went flying onto its side - right into a natural gas line.
The woman driving that car was trapped inside. Emergency crews had to physically move her car and cut her out of it.
Puget Sound Energy quickly came and fixed the gas line before firefighters had to evacuate anyone.
The suspect is a 33-year-old Seattle man, later identified as Joseph D. Strange, who likely faces a number of felony charges from the chase. He was hospitalized and is considered to be under arrest.
The 40-year-old Mukilteo woman cut from her car was rushed to the hospital in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.

Hepatitis C can infect people of all ages, from infancy to elder years. Early diagnosis and treatment of Hepatitis C can help prevent life-threatening liver damage, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. Most people don't know they are infected and can live decades without symptoms.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that anyone born between 1945 and 1965 should get tested for Hepatitis C. People from the "Baby Boomer" generation are five times more likely to be infected with Hepatitis C, a leading cause of liver cancer and other liver disease. more
The Rhode Island Department of Health funds these sites so that they can provide services to the uninsured and underinsured based on income. Bills to minors obtaining confidential services must be based on the resources of the minor and patients must not be denied services because of the inability to pay. Services are provided to insured, underinsured, and uninsured patients.
All services are confidential for all patients. Adolescents can receive HIV testing without parental notification or consent. Some sites offer anonymous testing which uses unique identifier instead of the person's name.

A winning Cash Ball ticket from the February 6 drawing was purchased at Minit Mart on Morgantown Road in Bowling Green.
So far, the winner has not come forward.
Managers at the convenience store say this isn't the first time someone has struck it rich.
"They have a history of winning here. This is the second $200,000 cash ball we've had in the last five years so it's just good when one of your regulars wins," says Assistant Retail Manager Mitchell Potter.
The winning ticket matched all four numbers of 8 - 22 - 23 -24 and the Cash Ball of 3.
Whoever the winner is has 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prize.

[2.2.0RC] icon mess in tabbar if unknown icon

So you have to set the iconCls to something that isn't found to reproduce? I tried but I cannot reproduce:
Ext.Viewport.add({ xtype : 'tabpanel', tabBar : { docked : 'bottom' }, items : [ { title : 'One', iconCls : 'home' }, { title : 'Two', iconCls : 'team' }, { title : 'Three', iconCls : 'action123' }, { title : 'Four', iconCls : 'more' } ] });Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

no, no - that is exactly what I'm saying. Tab #1 (speedometer1) and #3 (chart2) have non-standard icons whereas #2 (team) and #4 (more) are from the standard icons. When I leave them as they are then I get this:
04-04-2013 16-34-24.png
When I set "speedometer" in #1 then this:
04-04-2013 16-38-31.png
When I set "chart" in #3 then this:
04-04-2013 16-40-24.png
But the worst is: I can not reproduce this with a test app!
I generated a new app with 2.2 and replaced the icon #1 with "speedometer1":
04-04-2013 16-44-23.png
BTW: what's the easiest way to visualize the new icons from the icon-font? In older versions there was the folder with all the pictos. How are we supposed to do it with 2.2+?
5 Apr 2013 6:43 AM #4
ok, found out what's happening: I was using the icon speedometer1 (and others) in the app. So I had this in my sass file:
@include pictos-iconmask('speedometer1');
@include icon('speedometer1');
So the big questions that remains: where in V2.2 can I see which icons I can use? And how can I specify my own?
5 Apr 2013 1:42 PM #5
Here are all the icons: http://pictos.cc/font/
Save the picture in your SDK doc folder for easy access.
And regarding the inclusion of your own icons, you have to install a software which can create fonts and then create your own font using your pictos.
Another solution is to resuscitate the pictos-iconmask mixin in your customised theme and to use it for your custom icons. It also means having to do the work twice when wanting to theme those icons.
EDIT: From the 2.2 documentation, use http://icomoon.io to create your icon fonts.Olivier - interfaSys

Onion Bhajias
These are a wonderful start to any Indian-themed dinner party. They look fantastic and taste even better! This is very much like other bhajia and pakora recipes out there, but I like the addition of the fennel seed, and the baking powder makes for a more tender final product. Feel free to add whatever combination of spices you like.
- 1 large sweet onion, halved and sliced (about 1/8")
- 1 cup chick pea flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp onion seeds
- 1/2 jalapeño, seeded and minced (or to taste)
- 1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
- cold water
- oil for frying
1. Whisk together flour, baking powder, chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Roughly crush the seeds with a mortar and pestle and mix in.
2. Add jalapeño, onions, and cilantro and stir to coat. Add in enough cold water to make a thick batter that coats the onions and won't break apart in the oil. You can add more chick pea flour if you make it too thin.
3. Cook in batches by dropping generous tablespoons of batter into hot oil (350 degrees) and frying on each side until golden brown. Drain and serve immediately.

Vegan Dad, are you deep frying or just a thin layer of oil in the pan? I'd like to try these but don't do deep frying. Interesting combination with fennel and cumin. Since I like both, I want to try this. Another excellent recipe. Thanks.

in GA content>AllPages the default view shows the top pageviews by URL. Since my site does not have friendly URLs I prefer to view by page title, but when I click to change the view instead of showing the same pages by top pageviews it shows completely different pages. I want it to simply switch to the title of the same pages instead of the URL, why would the top pageviews be different based on URL and title?
The best way would be showing title as second dimension, and url as first. You can find out if you have duplicate titles too this way.
With default GA settings, you cannot do this. However, there is an hack how to do this: from Content->Site Content->All Pages, add a second dimension (Source for example). Then go and edit the url bar, and instead of source (last word) add pageTitle.
For example:
this should do it

Pill May Boost HDL 'Good' Cholesterol
Early Study Shows Evacetrapib Raises HDL Without Serious Side Effects
By Charlene Laino
WebMD Health News
Reviewed By Laura J. Martin, MD
Nov. 15, 2011 (Orlando, Fla.) -- Once again, an experimental pill that boosts levels of HDL "good" cholesterol has shown promising results in a mid-stage study.
In a three-month study of nearly 400 people, the drug evacetrapib raised HDL and lowered LDL, the so-called "bad cholesterol" -- both when given alone and with standard cholesterol-lowering statin drugs.
Importantly, evacetrapib did not routinely increase blood pressure or produce any of the other toxic effects that halted development of its predecessor, torcetrapib.
The big question, however, is whether raising levels of good cholesterol will prevent heart attacks, strokes, and deaths, says Robert Harrington, MD, of Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. He was not involved with the study, but has consulted for the maker of another HDL-boosting drug.
More people have to be followed for longer periods of time to ensure the drug both prevents heart problems and is safe over the long term, he tells WebMD.
"With torcetrapib, we didn't see the problem until thousands of patients were taking it for longer periods," Harrington says.
The study appears in the Nov. 16 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. It was released early online today to coincide with its presentation at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions.
Search for an HDL Booster
While credited with making a substantial dent in heart disease, the use of statin drugs that lower bad cholesterol doesn't prevent all heart attacks.
That's why the search is on for drugs that boost levels of HDL "good" cholesterol, which is thought to ferry cholesterol from the bloodstream to the liver, where it can be disposed of.
The research suffered an early setback when development of torcetrapib was halted after the drug was linked to an increased risk of heart attacks and death from heart disease.
Like torcetrapib, evacetrapib works by blocking a process that transforms good cholesterol into bad cholesterol.
Impact of Evacetrapib
The new study involved 398 people with elevated LDL "bad" cholesterol or low HDL "good" cholesterol. They were given either a placebo, evacetrapib alone, a statin alone, or a statin plus evacetrapib for 12 weeks.
Among the findings:
- HDL "good" cholesterol levels more than doubled in those given the highest dose of evacetrapib, often shooting up to a level that is considered protective against heart disease, according to the American Heart Association.
- Among patients on the highest dose, average LDL "bad" cholesterol levels dropped to healthy levels.
- When administered in combination with statin therapy, evacetrapib about doubled HDL levels and resulted in greater reductions in LDL levels than statins alone.
Safety analyses were very reassuring, says study head Stephen J. Nicholls, MBBS, PhD, of the Cleveland Clinic. He is an unpaid consultant to Eli Lilly, the maker of the drug.
"This gives us a lot of confidence to move in to a [late-stage] trial," he tells WebMD. "But until we see a big clinical trial in which one of these new agents actually lowers the risk of heart attack, stroke, or death, the jury is still out on whether HDL raising actually works."
AHA spokesperson Robert Eckel, MD, of the University of Colorado in Denver, agrees. "We have to await the results of the [upcoming] trials," he tells WebMD.

From now on you will be ideally prepared for your journey – on selected Lufthansa routes you can get your baggage ready for check-in whilst still at home. We answer the most frequently asked questions about the HomeTag below.
What is a HomeTag?
A HomeTag is a label for your luggage that you print out at home and with which you can prepare your bags for your flight in advance.
It contains information about the person travelling and the flight details. Thanks to the HomeTag, your travel preparations will be more relaxed and you'll save valuable time at the airport. Instead of your bags only being registered and given a luggage tag once you arrive at the airport, you can now take care of that yourself in peace and quiet at home (only applies on selected routes).
If your journey begins in the European Union (EU), current EU regulations stipulate that your HomeTag must be printed in colour. Please understand that we will therefore unfortunately be unable to accept baggage in the EU with a HomeTag that is not printed out in colour.
HomeTag is offered on many routes. If HomeTag is available for your journey, the option will appear automatically during online check-in.
The self-service baggage check-in machines at Frankfurt Airport will identify your baggage independently, which will simplify baggage check-in. More routes will follow.
How do I obtain a HomeTag?
In order to get a HomeTag, you need to take the following steps:
- 1.Check in online at lufthansa.com
- 2.Choose your seat for the flight
- 3.Enter the number of bags you have – if you want you can also do this for your return flight (this option only applies to already exempted routes for which the HomeTag is available)
- 4.Print out your boarding pass, your Passenger Receipt and the HomeTag for your suitcase
- 5.Attach the HomeTag to your suitcase as specified below
Please ensure that your flight details are clearly visible from both sides!
With your baggage prepared like this, when you arrive at the airport you can go straight to one of the baggage drop-off counters or the self-service baggage check-in kiosks.
Where can I get a HomeTag holder from?
You can get the holders from the Lufthansa baggage drop-off counters. At Frankfurt airport, staff will at first also be giving out the HomeTag holders in front of the baggage counters.
Can I print out a HomeTag for my return flight?
Yes. If you check in for your flight online and print out the baggage tag at home, you normally* have the option of doing the same for your return flight too. You can identify this second HomeTag by the wording 'Für Ihren Rückflug / For your return flight'. Please keep it safe until your return trip. Alternatively, you can print out the HomeTag separately shortly before your return flight.
* Currently we are still awaiting approval from the authorities at individual airports.
What does the HomeTag contain?
The HomeTag contains precisely the information which the airports need to transport your baggage: your route, your name, special conditions of carriage and, above all, the baggage item number which is also printed clearly as a barcode. This enables the airport baggage handling systems to identify your bags. In this respect a HomeTag is no different from the usual baggage label which is put on your bag at the airport.
An additional element of the HomeTag is the QR code, a two-dimensional barcode in which all readable information on the baggage label is stored in encrypted form. This enables your travel details to be reconstructed should the tag be damaged.
There is also an RFID chip in the Lufthansa HomeTag holder which facilitates express processing at the Lufthansa self-service baggage kiosks. This chip corresponds to the IATA standard and can also be used by other airlines.

Jade Craig
Leading the Way
Jade Craig '12, the editor-in-chief of the Columbia Journal of Race and Law, explains that he is fascinated with "the power of community development to change life outcomes." This past fall, Craig helped organize the journal's annual symposium, which delved into issues of inequality and economic injustice. Panelists at the event discussed the mortgage foreclosure crisis and how banking and tax policies affect communities of color.
The topics hold particular resonance for the Mississippi native. In the three years prior to entering law school, Craig taught kindergarten at Ella Darling Elementary School in Greenville, Miss., where he saw how poverty and racial segregation affected the lives of children and families.
"I knew I made a difference in the classroom, but when I sent the kids home at 2:45, they were still going back into a divided community," says Craig. One of the reasons he enrolled at Columbia Law School, he adds, was to learn about methods for tackling inequality on a systemic level.
Craig recently served as co-chair of the Civil Rights Law Society, and after graduating in May, he will take on two clerkships: first with Judge Damon Keith of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit in Detroit, and then with Judge Carlton Reeves of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. Craig is particularly looking forward to the chance to make a difference in his hometown judicial district. "Returning to Mississippi will give me the opportunity to use my law degree to understand the role of the federal courts in ensuring justice in my home state," says Craig.

The closely watched annual forecast of energy trends, set to be released Tuesday, concludes the growth of US and Canadian oil and gas production has staying power and could lead to more international shipments of oil and gas, said Exxon's vice president of corporate strategic planning, who led the study.
By TOM FOWLER
North America will become a net energy exporter by 2025, thanks
to a surge in oil and gas production and rapid improvements in
energy efficiency, ExxonMobil predicts in its latest long-term
energy outlook.
The closely watched annual forecast of energy trends, set to
be released Tuesday, concludes the growth of US and Canadian
oil and gas production has staying power and could lead to more
international shipments of oil and gas, said Bill Colton,
Exxon's vice president of corporate strategic planning, who led
the study.
Exxon's forecast follows similar estimates by the US Energy
Information Administration and the International Energy Agency,
which have recently predicted North America will produce more
energy than it uses in just a few decades, a shift with
geopolitical as well as economic ramifications.
Exxon predicts that an anticipated decline in coal usage by
power plants will accelerate as more efficient
natural-gas-fired plants are built. The Irving, Texas, company
forecasts coal use will drop 33% from 2010 to
2025,substantially more than its previous 23% estimate.
"The economics of natural gas in the power-generating sector
continue to look even better over time," Mr. Colton said.
The US is in the midst of a renaissance of oil and gas
production thanks to a combination of technologies, including
hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, which are
unlocking deposits trapped in shale formations throughout the
Daily US oil production reached a 15-year high in September,
according to the EIA, and is expected to keep climbing. US
natural-gas production will outpace the nation's demand by
2020, the EIA said last week.
Growing production from Canada's oil-sands region, much of
it exported to the US, and the continued growth of deep-water
Gulf of Mexico production is also bolstering forecasts.
The net energy exports forecast for North America by Exxon
don't mean the US would be energy independent, however, as it
will still rely heavily on Canadian crude production, Mr.
Colton said.
Global energy demand will increase 35% from 2010 to 2040,
with most of the increased demand coming from developing
nations like India and China, the Exxon report
Developed regions like the US, Canada and Europe will see their demand flat or
declining as they become more efficient, the company

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

PHILADELPHIA - Comcast has launched its newly redesigned online Learning Center on the Internet Essentials website, www.InternetEssentials.com/Learning.
The enhanced online Learning Center now includes a social media section, a refreshed design that features a guided tour for easier navigation and new digital literacy education videos, all of which support Comcast's digital literacy education and awareness efforts by providing consumers with basic resources and tools on how to explore and use the Internet, officials said.
The videos feature some of NBC's "Today" Show talent, including Al Roker, Sara Haines and Jenna Wolfe. Other TV talent showcased in the videos include Telemundo's Jose Diaz-Balart, MSNBC's Thomas Roberts and NBC's Kate Snow and Joelle Garguilo.
"When we first launched the Internet Essentials program, we knew that helping to close the digital divide would mean more than just offering discounted Internet service and computers to qualified customers," said Susan Jin Davis, vice president of strategic services for Comcast. "We realized it would also be necessary to offer our customers resources and information that would help them use the Internet to its fullest. The enhancements made to the online Learning Center will make it easier, we believe, for first-time users to get acquainted with the Internet and introduce them to the many valuable resources that are available online like job search tools, education and health care information."
There are seven new digital literacy videos that can be accessed by anyone from the Learning Center on the Internet Essentials website. The videos are approximately three to five minutes in length and give step-by-step directions on topics including: how to search the Web; e-mail basics; educational resources/homework helpers; health care resources; introduction to social media and online job search tools.
Additional archival videos from NBC Learn, the educational arm of NBC News, are available on the Learning Center and focus on Internet safety and security topics ranging from spam and spyware to cyberbullying.
Comcast has also enhanced the Internet safety and security software that is provided for free with Internet Essentials to include the Constant Guard Protection Suite, which includes Norton Security software, password safeguards and identity theft protection software.
Internet Essentials is a broadband adoption program that Comcast launched in 2011 to help more students and families get online. While participating in Internet Essentials, customers receive residential Internet service for just $9.95 plus tax a month; no price increases, activation fees or equipment rental fees; a computer available at initial enrollment for just $149.99 plus tax; and access to free Internet training online, in print and in person.
A household is eligible to participate in the Internet Essentials program if it meets the following criteria:
Has at least one child who is eligible to receive free or reduced price school lunches through their enrollment in the National School Lunch Program.
Has not subscribed to Comcast Internet service within the last 90 days.
Does not have an overdue Comcast bill or unreturned equipment.
For information about Internet Essentials, visit www.InternetEssentials.com. Educators or those interested in helping to spread the word can find information at www.internetessentials.com/partner. Parents looking to enroll in the program can call (855) 846-8376.

6 Filthy Jokes You Won't Believe Are from the Bible
#3. Ehud Stabs the Crap Out of Some Dude ... Literally
The Book of Judges is one you don't hear recited at weddings and baptisms a lot, mainly because the whole thing is a grisly, ugly mess, with some of the most twisted, violent murders and sex acts this side of HBO. And that's too bad, because dropped in toward the beginning is a story that seriously sounds like what would happen if the Farrelly brothers co-wrote a movie with Quentin Tarantino.
The story opens with Israel under the thumb of the Moabites, an ancient people who enjoyed conquering and enslaving other ancient peoples. God sends a hero named Ehud to save Israel, which he accomplishes by getting the king of Moab alone in a room and then stabbing the crap out of him:
Speculum Humanae Salvationis
Neither of them seems particularly concerned about this.
"Ehud came to him while he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber. And Ehud said, 'I have a message from God for you.' ... Ehud ... took the sword from his right thigh and thrust it into his belly ... and the refuse came out." (Judges 3:20-22, New American Standard Bible)
"Refuse," as in "poop." Yes, Ehud literally stabbed the crap out of him. OK, but how do you escape a palace full of guards after you've just killed their king? Easy -- lock the doors, go out the window, and convince them he's pooping:
"When he had gone out, his servants came and looked, and behold, the doors of the roof chamber were locked; and they said, 'He is only relieving himself in the cool room.' They waited until they became anxious; but behold, he did not open the doors of the roof chamber. Therefore they took the key and opened them, and behold, their master had fallen to the floor dead." (Judges 3:24-25, New American Standard Bible)
Johann Teufel
"And lo, when nary a guard desired to befoul themselves, they called upon the rookie to fulfill the duty."
By the time the guards realized the stench inside was their king's corpse and not their king's indigestion, Ehud was presumably halfway across the country, laughing his ass off.
#2. St. Paul Invites the Galatians to Cut Off Their Dongs
federicofoto/iStock/Getty Images
Unsurprisingly, one of the first things the early Christians were eager to clarify about their new faith as soon as it got started was whether certain parts of Jewish ceremonial law still applied to them -- more specifically, the part about having to slice off their foreskins or burn in hell. The Apostles themselves declared the answer to be "Ew, no" in Acts 15, but there were still plenty of people who disagreed.
Guido Reni
"What? Where? I don't see Elmo over there, are you sure OH HOLY FUCK WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!"
In particular, one group in Galatia was such a big fan of circumcision that the Apostle Paul -- who as a Jew himself knew how unpleasant that sort of thing was -- fired off an angry letter in which he wrote:
"I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut themselves off!" (Galatians 5:12, New King James Version)
Sven Bannuscher/iStock/Getty
Snip snip
Now, most Sunday school teachers will tell you that what Paul means is that circumcision fanatics should excommunicate themselves from the church, but that's not it at all -- he's actually telling them to excommunicate their whole penis from the rest of their body. As it turns out, the Greek word used here for "cut off" is pretty much never, ever used metaphorically. It always means a literal, physical cutting ... of the bodily kind.
Other Bible translations phrase it as "go beyond circumcision," "emasculate themselves," "get themselves castrated," and our absolute favorite: "I wish they would go the whole way! I wish they would cut off everything that marks them as men!" In other words, what Paul is really saying here is "If these guys like whacking weenies so much, why don't they just finish the job on themselves? Castrati are really in these days."

#1. David (of "and Goliath" Fame) Is Watching You Poop
Jupiterimages/Creatas/Getty Images
You're probably aware of the story of David and Goliath, but what you might not know is that David had many other fun adventures sprawling across three separate books of the Bible that included piles of foreskins and really ugly murder-adultery combos. One of the less Sunday-school-worthy stories finds our favorite giant killer on the run from then-king Saul, who's gotten it into his head that David means to usurp his throne. We're not sure where he got that idea, but it may have had something to do with the prophecy that David would usurp his throne.
Gustave Dore
If only Voldemort had read his Bible.
David takes the high road and, rather than slingshoting a rock at Saul's forehead, he and his men simply hide in a cave to wait out Saul's latest bout of man-PMS. However, in a sitcom-esque twist, Saul decides to enter the same cave, but is somehow completely oblivious of David's presence there. So what was Saul doing in a cave all alone? Well ...
"And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave." (1 Samuel 24:3, King James Version)
If you can't figure out what "cover his feet" means, here's a handy visual aid:
Frank Fennema/iStock/Getty Images
Poop euphemisms were tricky before Cleveland was invented.
Yes, this is an old-timey euphemism for "take a dump." David literally caught the guy who wanted to kill him with his pants down. At this point David sneaks up on Saul ... and cuts off a piece of his tunic, just to prove that he could have killed him right there and didn't. And also that he's seen Saul's butt, we guess. When David confronts Saul later and shows him the cloth, he's so humbled and embarrassed by the whole thing, he promises never to kill David again (and then promptly tries to kill him again a mere two chapters later).

Subway Stimulant
Everyone has an idea for improving the American educational system. So here's mine: Replace the wart-removal ads in New York City subway cars with history and math lessons. Of course, the information would have to be dispensed in an amusing format, say as puzzles or as factoids like: "Did you know that Abraham Lincoln, our 16th president…." I have no doubt that even the most learning-averse among us would ultimately assimilate the knowledge on display, because if ever there existed a captive audience, it's the one on your typical rush-hour F train.
What prompts these weighty thoughts is the intense focus I devote to even the most boring ads on the subway—if only to avoid making eye contact with fellow riders who might be having a bad day and return my glances with homicidal intent—and the great pleasure I take when I spot something that stimulates the eye and the intellect.
For example, those long, horizontal art posters in subway cars. I certainly devote far more attention to deciphering them than I do to probably pretty much anything else in my life, including my Con Ed bill and the Electoral College.
The one that's up now, by Sophie Blackall—a work of deceptive subtlety and humor-laden complexity, it features not quite stereotypical subway riders simply trying to get from one place to the next without incident—has provided almost as much satisfaction as if I'd been able to find a seat and bury my head in the newspaper.
And I'm apparently not alone. "I get somewhere between two and five emails a day from strangers who come above ground" and write to her, Ms. Blackall reported. Her correspondents range from riders who just want to thank her for brightening their day to Hasidic rabbis convinced she must have been surreptitiously sketching them on the train for the figure of the Hasidic gentleman in the picture. "Lots of people have written to me saying, 'This is me,' including four or five rabbis."
She was even contacted by a guy in a bear suit who identified himself as the guy in the bear suit in the poster. "He sent me a picture of himself in the train," Ms. Blackall, who has lived in the city for 12 years, said.
In the poster, he's seated between two Muslim schoolgirls and the rabbi, who is absorbed in a book. Ms. Blackall has it all right—not just the headscarves or the Hasidic gentleman's black frock coat; she's also captured the banality of the subway experience, the studied indifference of its passengers, the protective masks we all wear.
The guy in the bear costume, for example, isn't dancing; he's not pointing to himself and saying, 'Look at me. I'm so cool. I'm wearing a bear costume." He's doing what your typical bear-costume-wearing New Yorker would be doing under the circumstances: he's quietly taken a seat, removed the costume's head—which is now cradled in his lap—and he's minding his own business, lost in thought.
In point of fact, the guy in the poster wasn't the same one who contacted Ms. Blackall. It's a figment of her imagination, or rather a drawing she was inspired to create after reading a posting in Craigslist's "Missed Connections" personal ads. That's where romantically inclined strangers who pass each other in the night, or on buses and subway cars, can go and try to reconnect.
Indeed, Ms. Blackall created an entire book, "Missed Connections: Love, Lost & Found," published by Workman in 2011, by illustrating actual Craigslist classifieds, including one that began, "We shared a bear suit at an apartment party Saturday night." It was that work that brought her to the MTA's Arts for Transit program.
"The pose," she said, marveling at the one the subway rider sent her, "is identical to the way I drew it. It's life imitating art."
Part of what gives the poster its punch is its ability to entertain you while you're standing all the way from, say, Lexington Avenue and 86th Street to the Battery. And not just during one trip, but on multiple occasions. Underpinning the experience are details usually missed on first glance and time-released existential questions.
Ms. Blackall pointed out several grace notes as we rode the N train from Prince Street to 49th Street and Seventh Avenue. For example, there's a guy with a fishing rod and a bucketful of fresh catch seemingly sneaking a glance at the ample breasts of the dozing woman seated beside him. "It looks like he's staring lasciviously at her bust," Ms. Blackall explained. "He's actually looking at her fish."
Indeed, if you look closely, you can spot the tail of a small, colorful fish peaking from the top of her handbag.
I was perhaps most intrigued by the two tall gentlemen, in matching elegant plaid suits, standing by the train door. There are subtle differences: One is wearing pants, the other knickers; one carries an iPad, the other a newspaper. But I assumed they were a couple.
My daughter, Lucy, whom I discovered has studied the poster even more assiduously than I have, disagreed. "They're strangers," she insisted. "They're not on the train together. They're looking at each other because they're surprised they're both wearing the same thing. They're facing opposite directions. One is getting off the train and one is standing facing the viewer."
Ms. Blackall said that, well, we were both sort of right. "I imagine there's something a little flirtatious going on," she stated, only muddying the waters further.
One thing Lucy did point out that I hadn't noticed is that in the poster's upper right-hand corner—above a rollerblader playing video games on his smart phone, a man struggling with a newspaper and a passenger in a party dress hidden behind a cluster of balloons—there's an identical copy of the poster.
"When you think about it," my daughter said, "you're the original one. It's you looking at that, looking at that."
For all the poster's seeming effortlessness, Ms. Blackall said a lot of work went into its execution. "I did draw up a graph with all the groups I felt should be represented," she explained.
My only criticism is that the picture doesn't include any aspects of the subway system's instantly recognizable dark side—for example, panhandlers pitching their favorite charities; riders who are due to take their annual bath; or the rogue soda bottle or beer can that rolls down the aisle, dribbling Mountain Dew or Coors Light.
Ms. Blackall said the MTA gave her freedom to draw what she wanted, though she was aware that the agency would prefer to be portrayed in a positive light. "No one being mugged, no litter being cast," she explained. "That was easy to do. I really like the subway. Except between one and three in the morning."

The title refers to the burn notices issued by intelligence agencies to discredit or announce the dismissal of agents or sources who are considered to have become unreliable. The television series is a first-person narrative (including frequent stream of consciousness voice-overs providing nuggets of exposition) from the viewpoint of covert-operations agent Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan).
After fleeing a Nigerian operation blown apart by the sudden and unexplained non-cooperation of his U.S. contact, Westen finds himself in his hometown of Miami, Florida, USA, attended to by his ex-girlfriend but abandoned by all his normal intelligence contacts, under continuous surveillance with his personal assets frozen.
Extraordinary efforts to reach his U.S. government handler eventually yield only a grudging admission that someone powerful wants him "on ice" in Miami; if he leaves the city he will "heat up fast", i.e., he will be hunted down and taken into custody, whereas by staying there he can remain relatively free.
Consumed by the desire to find out why he's been burned, and by whom, Westen goes to work as an unlicensed private investigator and freelance spy for anyone in town who can pay him any money in order to fund his personal investigation into his own situation as a blacklisted agent.

Sometimes, given an object A in an Abelian category, the Yoneda product on Ext(A, A) is graded-commutative, for example in cases where it coincides with the cup-product in singular cohomology. Are there any nice theorems about when the Yoneda product is graded-commutative in general? Thanks in advance.
I move this to a more proper answer to discuss some subtle points of the question. The Eckman-Hilton argument (or more concrete calculations) shows, as Chris points out, that $\mathrm{Ext}(A,A)$ is commutative when $A$ is the unit for a monoidal category. The subtleties appear when we consider for instance the ring $R=k[x]/(x^2)$ for $k$ a field and $A=k$. Then $A$ has a uniform resolution $\dots\xrightarrow{x}R\xrightarrow{x}R\xrightarrow{x}R\to k\to 0$ giving $\mathrm{Ext}^i(A,A)=k$ for all $i$. Using the definition of the Yoneda product in terms of maps of resolutions we get that $\mathrm{Ext}(A,A)$ is the polynomial ring on $\mathrm{Ext}^1(A,A)$. This is graded commutative only when the characteristic is $2$ (and then it is not graded commutative in the strict sense of the square of odd degree elements being zero). However, it is exactly in characteristic $2$ that $R$ is the affine algebra of a finite group scheme (with $x\mapsto x\otimes1+1\otimes x$ as coproduct) with $k$ the unit for the associated monoidal structure on the category of $R$-modules. Hence we have a monoidal reason for the $\mathrm{Ext}$-algebra being graded commutative in characteristic. On the other hand we have a uniform description of the $\mathrm{Ext}$-algebra in all characteristics which just happens to fulfil the definition of being graded commutative in characteristic $2$.
Another starting point is to think of ${\rm Ext}(A,A)$ as the derived endomorphism ring of the object $A$ and recall Schur's lemma. If $A$ is a finitely-generated simple module over a ring $R$, then ${\rm Hom}_R(A,A)$ is a division algebra. For example, if $R$ is a $k$-algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$, then ${\rm Hom}_R(A,A)$ is isomorphic to $k$ (so, in particular, it is commutative.) Via Freyd-Mitchell embedding, this should give some idea what to expect in degree $0$.
Going back the question, then, the examples one might have in mind are categories of modules over a group ring or enveloping algebra of a graded Lie algebra: in these cases, ${\rm Ext}(k,k)$ is group- or Lie algebra cohomology, respectively, and has a graded-commutative cup product, where $k$ is the trivial module.
Perhaps there is a suitable "semisimplicity" hypothesis one could impose on the category so that ${\rm Ext}(A,A)$ is graded-commutative for all simple objects $A$?

The 48 Hour Film Project is proud to partner with the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists once again to allow filmmakers to use SAG-AFTRA members in their films.
NOTE: The SAG-AFTRA waiver applies only to competitions in the US.
When deciding whether to use SAG-AFTRA members in your film, please note that your distribution options will be more limited. For any use beyond the uses granted to the 48HFP, you will need to negotiate directly with SAG-AFTRA.
For example, if you wish to submit your film to a festival, no negotiation is needed. If, however, you wish to put your film up on a third party website (e.g., YouTube, MySpace, etc.) you will be required to negotiate with SAG-AFTRA, and probably pay your actor a fee, for your film to be allowed on the site.
If you opt to use SAG-AFTRA members on your team, there is additional paperwork to complete. These documents are due at the Dropoff Event - in the official SAG-AFTRA envelope provided for you at the Kickoff Event.
In order to work with a SAG-AFTRA member, the team leader will need to sign the SAG-AFTRA Short Film Agreement, as modified by the 48HFP Rider. The Rider means that you do not need to furnish a script ahead of time (impossible in the 48 Hour Film Project, anyway), you do not need to pay a fee to SAG-AFTRA, and you may use volunteer actors.
To fill out the Employment Contract, the team leader should sign by Producer and then print their name by By. The performer signs by Performer and writes their social security number below.
Each of your SAG-AFTRA actors must complete the SAG-AFTRA Employment Contract.
This allows you to put your film on your personal website for resume purposes only. (Other internet uses will still require permission from SAG-AFTRA.)
In addition to the SAG-AFTRA documents, all teams must also complete and submit Production Documents. This must be done whether or not the team includes any SAG-AFTRA members.
SAG-AFTRA permits the 48 Hour Film Project the following uses of films created under this agreement: to screen them theatrically, to include them on DVD compilations, to enter them in festivals and to show them on the 48 Hour Film Project website provided they are not downloadable.
In order to request permission from SAG-AFTRA for various uses of your film, please contact SAG-AFTRA directly. If you are in the eastern United States, contact Leif Larson at 212.827.1513 or email@example.com. If you are in the western United States, contact Marisa Leal at 323.549.6039 or firstname.lastname@example.com; or Fatna Sallak-Williams at 323.549.6054 firstname.lastname@example.com.

The sun is huge when compared to moon. Despite the huge difference in their size and distance from earth, Is it purely coincidental that they both look almost the same from earth?
The coincidence isn't so much that they appear very similar sizes from Earth, but that we are alive to see them at the point in time in which they appear very similar sizes. The moon is slowly moving away from the Earth, and at some point in the future the moon will be unable to totally eclipse the sun and conversely, if you could step far into prehistory, you would be able to see the moon with a much greater angular diameter than you see it now.
Most research I've found on the topic seem to be unavailable through my institute, however I did find one paper, "Outcomes of tidal evolution", which references results from Goldreich's research on the subject.
For reference, the Moon is currently at a distance of approximately 60.3 Earth radii. As such, the moon will steadily move away until synchronism would be reached, and from that point begin to recede towards the Earth due to the tidal affects of the Sun on the Earth disturbing the synchronization. It would seem that at some eventual point in the far distant future, it will return to this coincidental position once again.
As a matter of fact, yes, it is only a coincidence.
Of course the apparent relative sizes of the sun and moon are coincidental. What other rational explanation is there?
Maybe NASA built the moon that way on purpose. LOL
oops ...
"For reference, the Moon is currently at a distance of approximately 37.5 Earth radii."
I wonder where that odd figure came from. This "37.5" radii figure is very inaccurate. The current geocentric lunar distance averages about 60.3 earth radii, not 37.5 radii.
384401 km = Mean distance to moon 6367.448 km = Mean radius of earth (384401 / 6367.448) = 60.3 earth radii

WINTERSVILLE - When Nick Krivoniak walked away from his family's business to strike out on his own, no one was more surprised than he - not that he was living his dream, but at how well he's done as a small business owner.
Krivoniak, a hunter from an early age, has dabbled in taxidermy for five years, but it wasn't until September that he decided to do it full time.
"When I was a kid, I really loved hunting," Krivoniak said. "I loved being able to hunt deer, to hunt bear or any type of game, and I wanted a career that would give me that opportunity."
Article Photos
ON HIS OWN — Nick Krivoniak left his family's upholstery repair business to strike out on his own as a taxidermist. He opened his own showroom at 432 Main St., Wintersville, in September and said so far he's been busier than even he expected.
-- Linda Harris
LIFELIKE ARTISTRY — Although he specializes in white-tailed deer, taxidermist Nick Krivoniak has done larger game, such as elk, mule deer and bears, as well as squirrels and other small animals.
-- Linda Harris
So after graduating from Steubenville High School in 2006, Krivoniak went to Georgia to learn from one of the nation's best known taxidermists. His apprenticeship was cut short, however, when his mentor developed health issues. He came back to Steubenville, and for the next five years he got by by doing odd jobs - working in pest control, attending mortuary school, joining the family upholstery repair business.
"Nothing clicked," he said. "But all the while I kept the passion going, I was doing work on the side."
Last spring, with his wife's blessing, Krivoniak decided to continue training with two prestigious taxidermists "with the intent of opening my own shop."
"Nobody in my family was surprised, they knew it was always something I wanted to do," he said. "But a lot of people were surprised at how fast I made it happen. I basically made my decision in the spring, late spring, of 2012, and ended up opening the door to my shop in the fall 2012."
His shop Vivid Taxidermy is located at 432 Main St., Wintersville, and so far, he said, business "has gone way better than I thought."
"I set a goal to take in a certain amount of work this year, and I'd already surpassed it (in November) and the season was not even done," he said, saying new marketing techniques and other things he's done to get his name out in the hunting community have a lot to do with his success.
"And I have a showroom of my own where people can come and speak directly to me," he said. "I'm very accessible. I can show them what they can get, what I can provide."
Krivoniak specializes in white-tailed deer, but he's also done larger game like elk, mule deer and bears.
"So far, the reception has been really good, and I'm really happy about it," he said. "It's been great."
He said taxidermy is a time-consuming process: While he tells customers they'll get their finished piece within a calendar year, unless he's deluged with work, "you should never have to wait a year to get a piece back." Turnaround time on, say, a white-tail deer is typically six or seven months. "But if I get a lot of work in, it could take longer," he said.
"It is time consuming," he said. "But I'm open to accept as much work as I can get. If it would get to the point where I couldn't do it all myself, I'd think about bringing somebody on or training someone to (help)."
Until that happens, though, it's going to be all him.
"With taxidermy, you either sink or swim," he added. "You can't make money if you don't provide good results. People recognize good work - if you provide good service, honest service, you're going to do well. That's what I stick by."
