150 Milwaukee teens use film to speak out against violence
When 16-year-old Chanel Jackson was younger, the apartment building next to her Milwaukee home became a crime scene.
"All I saw the next day was the blood on the sheets coming out of the house," she said. "That's all I can remember." »Read Full Article(7)
Conor Oberst brings intensity to Pabst Theater
Describing the voice of Conor Oberst, many people have used the word "quaver," even after the indie singer-songwriter toned down the teenage trembling, as a 34-year-old man should.
At the Pabst Theater Saturday night, however, the word remained suitable for Oberst's live concert. His very body seemed to vibrate as if his nervous system was dosing his skin with extra voltage: Not enough to convulse him; enough to generate a low hum of surplus energy beneath his performance. »Read Full Article

Maya Lin "lucked" out on the VietNam Memorial and has been riding that success for her whole career...her work isnt that special, she just has a name that people can identify and work that is so goddamned easy to swallow...So its not suprising that she has nothing to say, her work doesnt either!!
But I liked it.
everything is all aesthetic fluffery at this point. at least she can make pretty city parks. everyone likes ice skating rinks, right?
Lin's work is very powerful in situ. She does terrific, monumental, environmental pieces. Even the sort of irritating Coeducation memorial (uh, sculpture?) at Yale is quite interesting, textural, interesting, good to touch. Meaningful.
I didn't see her local exhibit here, though was interested, but I suspected I would find it too ephemeral based on her other work I've seen.
One good idea. Twenty-five years ago. Why is it surprising that she hasn't had another one? She isn't really an artist at all. One good idea, made good mostly by the emptiness of it, because any EXPRESSED idea on the subject of Vietnam in 1981 was doomed to failure. Now, she's dull, empty, incompetent: why is is this a surprise?
This post, and a few of the comments, make me think-- damn, some people take Art (or whatever it is that Maya Lin does) way too seriously.
I liked the Henry exhibit. Call it aesthetic fluffery if you will. I liked the simplicity of it. Granted, not all the pieces were good, but a few of them were very engaging.
It was an indoor experiment. Maybe it's not really appropriate for her style. I wasn't thrilled about signing a waiver either, but hey, this is the United States of Litigation.
And art, as a general rule, is always overpriced.
loved it. loved her. fuck you.
Not all artist are very good at talking about art, and I don't think that disqualifies the work from consideration.
I liked the Henry exhibit, and looking forward to the installations related to the Lewis & Clark trail (only one of which is completed).
I realize this is where I should include a snarky strangeresque insult, but it's 7:30 in the morning and I can't come up with one.
* Not all artist are very good at talking about art...
A good and simple truth. And if memory serves Lin was trained as an architect, a design profession whose members are forced to drop intellectual abstractions and create within the dangerous world of nuts, bolts, codes, budgets, and power besotted clients.
* "Why Has Maya Lin Retreated from the Battlefield of Ideas?"
Only an art critic would ask that question,they who consciously flee the belly of the creative beast. Remember that Lin has every reason
flee the battlefield of ideas - as the painfully young winning designer of the memorial competition she was instulted, thrashed, and humiliated. She probably is scarred for life by that horrendous experience.
Ah, The Henry Show. Well I was underwhelmed...yet remained unmotivated to give it any energy to write my two cents about it. Just not my cup of tea.

Turkey Stocks: Besiktas, Turkish Airlines Move in Istanbul
Turkey's benchmark ISE National 100 Index fell 0.6 percent to 55,125.29 at the close in Istanbul after declining as much as 1.3 percent in intraday trading.
The following shares were active. Stock symbols are in parentheses.
Besiktas Futbol Yatirimlari Sanayi & Ticaret AS (BJKAS TI), the merchandising unit of Turkish sports club Besiktas, plunged to the lowest level in almost two years, falling 8.8 percent to 4.33 liras, after saying in a statement to the Istanbul Stock Exchange its soccer team has been banned from the Union of European Football Associations, or UEFA, competitions for a year and fined 200,000 euros ($248,000) for erroneous financial statements.
Turk Hava Yollari AO (THYAO TI), the carrier known as Turkish Airlines, fell 1.6 percent to 2.52 liras, the lowest since March 13, after canceling flights for a second day amid a pay dispute which prompted a go-slow action by employees yesterday.

The increasing availability of free and open access resources for scientists on the internet presents us with a revolution in data availability. The Royal Society of Chemistry hosts ChemSpider, a free access website for chemists built with the intention of building community for chemists (http://www.chemspider.com/).
ChemSpider is an aggregator of chemistry related information, at present over 20 million unique chemical entities linked out to over 300 separate data sources, ChemSpider has taken on the task of both robotically and manually curating publicly available data sources. It is also a public deposition platform where chemists can deposit their own data including novel structures, analytical data, synthesis procedures and host data associated with the growing activities associated with Open Notebook Science.
This presentation will examine chemistry on the internet, the dubious quality of what is available and how the ChemSpider crowdsourced curation platform is fast becoming one of the centralized hubs for resourcing information about chemical entities.
We will also review our efforts to provide free resources for synthesis procedures, spectral data and structure-based searching of the chemistry literature and how chemists can contribute directly to each of these projects.

I have text in the 3 widgets in the footer. I would like to increase the area allotted to the middle widget ("Clients Include"), and decrease the area allotted to the left-hand widget ("About Us"), while maintaining an equal amount of spacing between widgets. I am having trouble understanding which CSS code corresponds to which footer widget. And I think I should be focusing on padding, right?
I have created a child theme and am making all of my CSS changes there. I tried messing with all of the padding amounts for the footer widgets, but nothing I did make a noticeable change. I was able to reduce the padding on '.footer .widget_inner.last' to 3px, which increases the size of the area for the middle widget text, but makes the spacing between the widgets uneven.
Can someone please tell me which CSS code I should be adjusting? Any help appreciated.
Thank you!!
p.s. This is an awesome community. I have learned a ton just by reading through the support threads for this theme.

For five years I've been practically begging to pay an extra tax to build sorely needed transit in metro Atlanta. Now that it's a possibility, I wonder if the measure we're being asked to consider this summer is really such a good idea.
On July 31, metro Atlanta voters will decide whether we should pay a 1 percent sales tax to fund new transportation projects in the 10-county region. If approved, the measure would generate more than $7.1 billion for road and rail projects, including: $602 million for transit along the Atlanta Beltline that would link into Midtown; new rail service between Lindbergh and Emory University; and $600 million for overdue repairs to MARTA's aging system.
The Metro Chamber of Commerce, which has helped organize a multimillion-dollar ad campaign trumpeting the tax, and many elected officials say passing the measure would kick-start long overdue road and transit projects that would ease traffic and boost the economy. The sprawling metro Atlanta region could reverse its decades-old myopic approach ("pour more asphalt!") and finally build more mass transit. To vote no would leave us sitting in gridlock on I-75, walking several miles to catch a bus that never seems to arrive, or carrying luggage up a nonfunctioning MARTA escalator. "There is no Plan B," we've been told.
Not so, says the Georgia Chapter of the Sierra Club. Several weeks ago, the eco-advocacy group that's long been one of the state's most vocal champions for transit came out against the tax, saying it didn't adequately fund its projects and would fuel sprawl by constructing new roads. They, along with strange bedfellows the Tea Party, argued that voters should reject the tax. Doing so would allow metro Atlanta mayors and county commissioners to restart the admittedly contentious political process: rethink which transportation projects would receive funding from the tax and give the measure another chance two years from now.
Underlying the discussion is a legitimate fear of fatigue on the part of elected officials who might not be able to strike another deal on the list of transportation projects. (Last summer's talks were filled with horse-trading, which helped indirectly lead to some of the concerns progressives have with the bill.)
That doesn't even address the current fatigue of voters who wonder if they'll ever see a workable plan. Another two years might be too long, the tax's supporters claim. But it'd be worth waiting for if we're going to continue to follow the build-more-roads mind-set with only a dabbling of transit projects, say the opponents.
Finally, there's the very legitimate fear of the unknown: If the tax is rejected, what makes anyone think elected officials will allocate any more funding to transit?
Both sides' arguments make sense, and as each side's positions have crystallized, public debate between supporters and opponents has finally started taking place. (CL hosted one such discussion last week at its Atlantic Station offices, which I moderated, between the Sierra Club, the pro-tax Citizens for Transportation Mobility, Atlanta Beltline CEO Brian Leary, and Ron Sifen, a Cobb County community activist opposed to the tax.)
What's pushed me from a tax-me-please radical to a chin-scratching moderate are the long-term consequences the tax could have if passed. The measure's a start, but it doesn't go far enough to protect suburbanites from the inevitable spike in the price of gas or address the real cause of sprawl. It also won't restore the years of service cuts to MARTA, the region's transit spine, or reduce fares — or fund the commuter rail lines that could truly link Atlanta to the hinterlands.
Second, the measure gives the state, which has never paid much interest in anything other than roads, more control over transit. According to the law, the state-controlled Georgia Regional Transportation Authority, or GRTA, would be put in charge of building and operating new transit lines paid for with the tax. That includes the Beltline. Yes, the law says the agency could outsource those duties to the city and Atlanta Beltline Inc., which could then contract with MARTA, which actually has decades of experience building and operating a transit system. MARTA is also a potential transit operator for the Beltline's light rail system. But what guarantee do we have that GRTA — and its board, which is appointed by the governor — will do so? Or that it won't play politics with votes on funding? And when will the state ease MARTA's financial woes and create a regional transit agency to oversee the region's myriad buses and trains — one which gives control to the cities and counties that actually pay for transit, unlike the state, which only funds GRTA's "luxury coaches" into and out of the suburbs and downtown?
By voting "yes," transit supporters are being asked to trust the state, which has failed to properly address these issues for years. I don't. A very clear indication that Gold Dome leadership will meet transit boosters halfway and address these issues could help ease fears. But they need to hurry. Voters visit the polls in less than eight weeks.
I want to help reverse the damage our inaction on transportation has caused to the landscape and quality of life. I want to be able to leave my car at home, ride transit throughout the city, and walk and cycle from neighborhood to neighborhood. But if I'm actually entertaining the notion of waiting for the next funding opportunity — which I must acknowledge that, knowing the state, might never arrive — imagine how other transit supporters feel.NOTE: This post has been altered to correct an error about outsourcing the building and operating of new transit projects. Under the law, GRTA could contract with city, which could then contract with Atlanta Beltline Inc. ABI could then contract with MARTA just for transit operations. In such a case, the construction of the Beltline transit line would still be under the city and ABI's purview.

For the oral section. New talent may also be a draw.
Getting better. Although this edition falls into some of the rote problems that have plagued oral tapes lately - the same location used repeatedly, identical set-ups - the good parts are very good. The pan up the girl's (usually) nude body is nice, and the self-introductions, with a quick I've-done-this-many-videos added on, also work. And the scenes themselves are well done, with editing that takes out the dull bits and moves things along, and energetic and mostly enthusiastic girls. The unforgiving from-under shot is not always used well, and there is serious overexposure in the scene with the pale-skinned Kitty Marie. And using Shy - whose name was well chosen - for the closing scene was not a good way to end the tape.
Standouts include newbies Kristina Black and Kat Langer, and a pro turn from Shelbee Myne. The brand-new performers are a welcome addition: With luck we'll see them grow into seasoned pros.

Dear friends!
We are happy to announce that the third phase of the project Help to provide vital massage for orphaned babies!has started in the begining of September.
In its frame all the children from the psycho-neurological orphanage who need massage (more than 60 children) will undergo the third course by the end of this year – 15 procedures of manual therapy each.
The second phase of the project started in February 2011 and finished only in August – because of the chickenpox quarantine in May and June we were not able to work with maximum performance.
As before, three very experienced professional masseuses participate in the project, they help our children with serious disorders grow better and make progress, become stronger and healthier.
We are thankful to all donors who support this project!
Would you please also pay your attention to one of our projects which also highly needs your support: Nursing care for orphan children in hospitals - in frame of this project we help orphan children happened to be in a hospital without any parental care.

In the present study, we investigated cognitive status and cognitive development in young-old Type-2 diabetes patients. Extending previous research, using the sample of the ILSE study ("Interdisciplinary Longitudinal Study of Aging"), we applied a comprehensive cognitive test battery to 38 Type-2 diabetes patients (mean age at T1: 63 years) and 421 control participants and tested both cognitive status and longitudinal changes after four years in several cognitive domains (crystallized intelligence, verbal memory, visual memory, executive functioning, psychomotor speed, and fluid intelligence). Results revealed no cross-sectional group differences in any cognitive domain at T1 nor at T2. However, testing group differences in intraindividual change over time, reliable group differences in the change of crystallized intelligence and fluid intelligence were revealed. While controls improved in crystallized intelligence as well as in fluid intelligence over time, diabetes patients' performance decreased. The results demonstrate that in young-old adults the effects of diabetes on cognition may only be detected by analyzing within-person changes instead of mean level differences.

Found a problem I can't for the life of me work out. Have the plugin installed and the site is indexed. Search results appear to be working just fine for users hitting the site and when searching in the admin area when looking for a post.
Where it is failing is when I go to insert a link in a post and attempt to lookup a search term for a specific post. With the plugin active it ends with no search terms found. Soon as I disable the plugin it beings working but only with the default WordPress search.
Anybody come across this before?

Thank you for your great plug-in!
"Limit to" doesn't work after searching the find pattern. The result of "10" and "No limit" is same. Is this a compatibility issue for WP3.6 ?
And "Replace" doesn't work when searching results is over approx. 7000. Is there limit of replace function? Or the problem of my server?

I was really taken in by the collagen lip repairing qualities claimed by avon for this product. In reality it's over-priced rubbish. Not a nice colour (sheer pale pink with silvery shimmer). It smells like toothpaste and applies like toothpaste - gloopy and lumpy and hideous. Stay away from this one. Save your money and buy a bottle of gin instead - after an hour you won't care about wrinkly lips.

A story about Sunnyvale's gun safety ballot measure incorrectly reported one of the proposed terms of the ordinance. The measure prohibits the possession of ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. The sale of such magazines is already banned under state law.
SUNNYVALE -- In the year that followed the massacre of 26 people -- including 20 small children -- in Newtown, Conn., President Barack Obama vowed to push federal gun safety legislation, only to be stymied repeatedly by the National Rifle Association's powerful gun lobby. In the California Legislature this year, a number of bills that would have regulated firearms met a barrage of lobbying resistance and were either rejected by lawmakers or vetoed by the governor, although several others did become law.
Just when it appeared gun control had lost its incendiary spark as a hot-button issue, up jumped Sunnyvale -- a Silicon Valley town so resolutely old school that two of its busiest streets have grandma names, Mathilda and Maude -- with ballot Measure C, restricting the rights of gun owners. The measure passed by an overwhelming majority Tuesday, receiving 66.4 percent support from its politically moderate electorate.
The next morning, with the NRA vowing to sue the socks off the city for what it had just done, Sunnyvale was loading its guns, preparing for a fight. Metaphorically, of course.
"From the first day I mentioned guns, the NRA's immediate reaction was, 'We'll sue you,' " said Sunnyvale Mayor Tony Spitaleri, who led the campaign for the no-ordnance ordinance. "I thought, OK, fine. That was a line in the sand. I said, 'Well, bring it on.' But I didn't say it out loud."
He didn't have to. By Wednesday morning, the NRA already was working with several potential local plaintiffs to file suit, according to Chuck Michel, the group's attorney. Michel said the passage of Measure C could provide the NRA with a vehicle to test the U.S. Supreme Court's willingness to strike down what pro-gun group views as the constitutional rights of gun owners.
"I don't think it's an understatement to say there is currently an epic legal battle going on for the future of the Second Amendment in this country," Michel said, "and Sunnyvale is just one very small part of it."
Regardless of what happens next legally, the new ordinance is scheduled to go into effect in January. It poses three prohibitions that failed during the most recent session in Sacramento: requiring gun owners to notify police within 48 hours of a loss or theft; keeping firearms locked up when not in the owner's direct possession; and forcing ammunition sellers to keep buyers' names on file for two years -- rules that will be difficult to enforce. "We're not going to be knocking on people's doors," the mayor acknowledged.
But there is one new ban that got the NRA's full attention. It prohibits the possession of ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. "The magazine restriction goes further than any other magazine ban in the country," said Michel, who sounded undaunted by the lopsided loss. "The fight to protect the rights of Sunnyvale residents isn't over."
He said at least one lawsuit would be filed within days, with more to come later. "Whether the NRA is a named plaintiff or not," Michel added, "there will be a lawsuit that the NRA is behind."
"I'm done being nice to these guys," spat Spitaleri. "They threaten people with lawsuits. That's bullying. Well, last night we defeated the NRA in Sunnyvale."
The NRA has won several big cases against cities that attempted to impose gun bans, including one that cost San Francisco $380,000 in court costs when it sought to ban handguns in 2005. But Spitaleri wasn't backing down, and Wednesday morning he was no longer talking just to himself.
"Our citizens are speaking out loud," he said, sipping coffee at the Bean Scene on Sunnyvale's historic Murphy Avenue. "They've been waiting for Congress, waiting for the state. I didn't want to sit around anymore saying, 'Let's see what the state does, let's see what the feds do.' That's the problem. They're not doing anything. These are local issues, and if we attack them on the local level, we will grow the base needed for our legislators to stand on to take some action."
The small team that propelled the proposal into law in this town of 146,000 believes it has created a template for other cities. Former state Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, who was a member of the group pushing for Measure C, actually lives in Mountain View. She said the campaign for a similar measure there would begin this week. "When the public is given a chance to vote," Lieber said, "this shows that they are willing to make a statement in a strong way."
Measure C drew more votes in Sunnyvale than anything else on Tuesday's ballot. Oddly, there are only two places in Sunnyvale you can even buy a gun: U.S. Firearms and Big 5 sporting goods. And the crime rate is low compared with many Bay Area cities. Members of the pro-gun group, which never mounted much of a campaign, hinted that the ballot measure hardly got any attention locally until a few weeks before election day. As a result, they said, voters who cast their ballots by mail -- before the NRA had a chance to get its message out -- had a disproportionate effect on the outcome.
But Spitaleri claimed his little town had simply outgunned the NRA with ballots, not bullets. "To me, it shows the disconnect between our elected leaders and what the community wants," he said. "Polling across this country says very clearly that people want something done. The NRA's dollars mean nothing to our citizens. That's what we have to take away from all this. Our folks can stand up to the NRA. They're not going to be bought off or bullied."

In the interest of providing information regarding institutional responses to current campus issues, I'd like to share the following message from CU Police Chief Joe Roy.
Investigating Intolerance
By Joe Roy, Chief of Police and Director of Public Safety
During the past year, some members of the campus community have been the targeted victims of bias-motivated criminal activity. Others have been made uncomfortable or fearful for their personal safety by virtue of their knowledge of these targeted acts, or more generalized indications of hate, such as racist, sexist or homophobic graffiti placed on the walls of campus buildings. I"ve been asked to provide some information about the University Police Department"s responsibilities and practices regarding the investigation of these incidents.
Typically, the persons who commit these acts do so in ways designed to provide them with anonymity. The identification of these kinds of perpetrators is difficult. Modern police forensic techniques provide a variety of options supporting the identification of perpetrators, and we use them when appropriate. In most cases we can apply these techniques using our own resources; in some cases we"ve sought help from external agencies, such as the FBI.
Forensic techniques are not always applicable or fruitful. Police departments still rely heavily on information provided by concerned, responsible community members. If you or persons that you know have information that could help in the identification of persons committing acts of intolerance or other crimes on campus, please contact us at 303-492-6666. The enhancement of public safety is the responsibility of all, and the successful resolution of cases by police is invariably a reflection of good community support. From the public safety perspective, we are interested in hearing about intolerant behaviors whenever they occur, whether or not the activity rises to the level of a criminal offense. Information about these occurrences helps us assess their tenor and frequency, and provides us with information that could support the identification of perpetrators.
When perpetrators are identified, our responses vary based upon the circumstances of the incident and the applicability of law or university policies. Troublesome behavior may be in violation of university policies, but not in violation of the law. We refer cases of this sort to the responsible campus administrative entities, e.g., the Office of Judicial Affairs, the Office of Discrimination and Harassment.
Violations of the law are typically handled by the arrest and charging of the perpetrator. "Arrest" is used here in a technical sense; most of these persons are not taken into physical custody and lodged in jail. Instead, officers issue them summonses that order them to appear in court regarding the listed charges.
Officers are trained to approach enforcement circumstances objectively and to address all of the violations identified during their investigations. Victims of bias motivated incidents can have powerfully emotional responses to these affronts, including physical retaliation. Colorado law allows persons to use combative physical force only to defend themselves from unlawful physical attack. Victims of verbal or other non-physical bias motivated offenses who respond by physically attacking the offender may be subject to criminal charges. Persons charged under these circumstances may view the police response as rubbing salt into their wounds.
Fundamentally however, the issue in these cases is the commission of offenses/wrongs by one person against another. Legal proscriptions against harmful interpersonal behaviors reflect society"s desire to protect the safety of individuals. Police are responsible for enforcing the law and thereby reinforcing its intent. Officers must respond objectively and decisively to crimes of violence, be they emotional or physical. Failure to do so is to tacitly condone actions that undermine civil behavior. When appropriate, we will charge persons who have committed criminal offenses, regardless of their place as the initiator or respondent in the episode.
A variety of charges have been filed by University Police Officers against the perpetrators of crimes in which intolerance or bias was an apparent motivation on the part of the offender. Charges levied include "Use of Fighting Words," "Assault" and "Bias Motivated Crime."
Contrary to what might be expected in these instances, we"ve applied the charge of "Bias Motivated Crime" less frequently than others. This is because the elements of Colorado"s "Bias Motivated Crime" statute restrict its applicability to offenses where intent based in bias, and an action that causes or is intended to cause injury or damage to property occurs. The statute requires:
We"ve charged persons with "Bias Motivated Crime" in cases where the offender"s actions met the elements of the statute. However, most of the cases reported to us that appear to be bias motivated have not met the statute"s required elements.
I yearn for the day when discussions of this sort will no longer be necessary. Until then, the University Police Department will continue to do all that it can to identify the perpetrators of bias motivated and other crimes to enhance the safety of our community.

Commercial Mortgages Fail to Pay as Lending Increases
More than half of commercial mortgages bundled and sold as bonds have been unable to pay off maturing debt this year even as the availability of financing increases, according to Bank of America Corp.
Between 50 percent and 60 percent of loans on skyscrapers, hotels, shopping malls and apartment complexes failed to refinance within a few months of their maturity date this year, Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts said in a report. That compares with 15 percent to 20 percent in 2008, according to the analysts led by Roger Lehman in New York. About $11 billion in loans, or one-third of the 2010 total, had hit their expected maturity dates through late May.
The amount of capital available to commercial property owners has improved dramatically over the past year, though it still falls short, according to the report. "The level of financing is not where it was, or even where it needs to be for a full commercial real estate market recovery," the analysts said.
If borrowers cannot refinance or pay off their loans, they either default or persuade lenders to extend their maturities.
The biggest factor in whether a loan is able to pay off when it comes due is which year it was taken out, as loans written prior to the boom are more conservative. About 64 percent of loans originated in 2004 paid off, compared with 33 percent of those originated in 2005, the analysts said.
Interest-Only Loans
Some of the poorest-performing loans are those that delay principal payments through part of the term, the report said. Just 31 percent of so-called period interest-only loans paid off at maturity, compared with 38 percent of loans that amortized from the start, and 39 percent of loans that made no principal payments until maturity, according to the report.
The period interest-only loans are "less well underwritten, with higher leverage," the analysts said. "The very short amortization period does little to reduce that leverage."
A large number of loans with five-year terms taken out as property values soared and underwriting standards plummeted will come due during the next two years. More than $60 billion of the debt matures in 2011 and $80 billion in 2012, according to Bank of America.
Top-rated debt sold in 2007 yields 2.2 percentage points more relative to benchmark rates than similar bonds sold in 2005, reflecting the view that loans taken out as sales of commercial-mortgage-backed securities peaked are riskier, according to Credit Suisse Group AG data.
Bond Issuance
A record $251.1 billion of bonds tied to commercial mortgages were sold in 2007 after $223.3 billion in 2006, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Sales of the debt halted in 2008 as the credit crisis sapped demand, choking off funds to borrowers. Even with government aid, only $3.04 billion of the debt was issued last year. About $1.67 billion has been issued in 2010.
Banks have been slow to write new loans to package for sale as many borrowers struggle to pay off their existing mortgages with property prices down 41 percent from the October 2007 highs, according to Moody's Investors Service.
Late payments on commercial real estate loans packaged into securities are at a record 7.5 percent, according to Moody's, and may reach 11 percent by yearend.

leaf insect
2nd in series
2nd in series
This is a Katydid. A Hooded Katydid to be exact
The lighting is awesome in this shot, very warm and comfy feeling..
Hmmm this may just inspire me to try photographing insects..
Extra shot!
Lovely grasshopper
looks like a grasshopper from the top
but i am not convinced from the side
but i am not convinced from the side
It can also be a Gryllus - they are abit different from each other - if you only have met one, the other one may look strange kind of a grasshopper.
Darn internet dictionary - I wasn't sure how the thing was called and that's what it gave me. Hmm, it's not the one I meant, though it wouldn't be the one I meant either. Quite interesting how from far they have some similarity, but on a closer look there isn't almost anything in common.
Great shot
Nice shot!
He's darkly beautiful isnt he!

Libyan Rebels Battle for Cities as Allies Risk Stalemate
Libyan rebels faced setbacks including the deaths of at least 13 fighters when their convoy was mistakenly hit by an allied airstrike meant to thwart forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi.
NATO said it was "looking into" the reports of the strike near Brega yesterday while the leaders of the rebellion, who are based in the eastern city of Benghazi, said their own fighters were at fault.
"Unfortunately, the rebels were not organized, and there were some individuals from Qaddafi's troops among them," said Abdel Fatah Younis, head of the rebellion's military efforts and former Libyan interior minister, according to Al Jazeera. "One of them opened fire at one of the coalition's jets and escaped. The coalition thought that was from an enemy."
Rebel forces have struggled for more than a month to take and hold strategic cities in central Libya including Brega, Ajdabiya and the oil port of Ras Lanuf. The U.S., U.K. and other allies stepped up diplomacy as well as air sorties last week in an attempt to avoid a stalemate that might draw NATO members further into the six-week-old conflict.
The Libyan government is open to talks to find an end to the conflict, Abdul-Ati al-Obeidi, a former prime minister, told Britain's Channel 4 News yesterday. British officials also reportedly met with Mohammed Ismail, a senior aide to one of Qaddafi's sons, the New York Times reported.
Proposed Resolution
Qaddafi's son Seif al-Islam is proposing a resolution that would entail his father relinquishing power to his son, the New York Times reported today, citing an unidentified diplomat with close ties to the government. Neither Qaddafi nor the rebels appear ready to accept the proposal, the newspaper cited the diplomat as saying.
Following the rebel deaths, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization said in an e-mail that it was taking "every care" to protect civilians. "Clearly, if someone fires at one of our aircraft, they have the right to defend themselves," it said.
The strike has highlighted the issue of ground troops, who have been used by allied forces in countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq to guide bombing from the air.
U.S. and U.K. officials have pledged they won't send ground forces into Libya to help the rebels. A spokesman for French President Nicolas Sarkozy said that country has no plans for ground troops in Libya, as the March 17 UN resolution adopting the no-fly zone didn't provide for them.
Ground Troops
U.K. Foreign Secretary William Hague said a report in the London-based Times newspaper that Britain was to send 600 marines to Libya wasn't true. "They're preparing for an exercise elsewhere," he said on the British Broadcasting Corp.'s "Andrew Marr Show" today. "There is going to be no large scale ground force put in place by the U.K. in Libya."
Hague's comments came as a survey found that the military action is supported by 38 percent of Britons. Another 35 percent oppose it, according to an ICM poll for BBC Radio 4's Broadcasting House.
The survey found that 65 percent of respondents said the U.K.'s involvement "will last for some time," the BBC reported on its website today. The poll questioned 2,011 Britons online on March 30 and March 31.
Fighting continued today for control of Brega, where rebels occupied a university campus, while loyalist forces resumed their shelling of Misrata, the main rebel-held town in the west of Libya, Agence France-Presse reported.
Allied Sorties
NATO said it conducted 70 strike missions over Libya on April 2 and 184 sorties. Since the beginning of the operation, the alliance has flown a total of 547 sorties and 218 strike sorties, NATO said in an e-mailed update on its Libya mission.
Strike missions are intended to identify and engage targets, but do not necessarily deploy munitions each time, NATO said.
A total of 21 ships under NATO command are actively patrolling the central Mediterranean, the alliance said in the update. Four vessels were hailed yesterday to determine destination and cargo, and one boarding was required. A total of 34 vessels have been hailed since the beginning of arms embargo operations, NATO said.
The conflict in Libya is the bloodiest in a series of uprisings in the Middle East that have ousted longtime rulers in Egypt and Tunisia and inspired protests in Bahrain, Yemen and Syria.
Crude oil fluctuated after climbing to a 30-month high in New York on April 1 as the fighting intensified in Libya. Crude for May delivery rose $1.22 cents to $107.94 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange on April 1, the highest settlement since September 2008.

One of the most trusted names on The Street.
EASY to see how he gets there. In today's dollars, the construction cost of the arena would be 1bln. 820k sq. ft. of real estate at $850 per and you have 1.7 so its worth well over 2bln alone. The Knicks, Balmers bid for the Clips makes them worth 2bln at least. Rangers, Forbes had them at 750mln, they're now 1 bin easily. MSG network using an ebitda multiple of just 6x gets you to 2bln on the network (Univision ipo is shooting for a multiple of 11-15x ebitda). Cash on hand, the Forum in Englewood, Rocketts figure 1/2 billion total for those 3 things and NO DEBT. You're over 7 bin in market cap adding these assets up, on 77 mln shares outstanding…..7 billion/77 million = $90 per share
hey vc....I missed the bulk of him discussing MSG on cnbc this morning and can't find the video anywhere....is that what he said this morning? thx. FF

The real celebration of all things porcine here though is the fennel-kissed house made links. They're so good, you could eat them on a plate naked, with your morning eggs, or clothed only in peppers. But give them a slight grill char, stuff them between a crunchy crusted chewy crumbed roll and slather it with a spicy red sauce and few sweet peppers, and you've got a hero of epic proportions.
