Are you looking for a Paid internship in Ohio? Paid internships are the best way to bridge the gap between going to school and landing great job. Internships can help provide valuable work experience by learning the ropes from more experienced professionals. At the end of your internship, you'll have relevant experience to help you decide if starting your career in the field of your internship is the right choice for you. It also helps that 7 out of 10 internships result in a full time job offer, which means interning in Ohio can also serve as the foundation to landing a full time job in that city after graduation.
Paid summer internships in Ohio are pretty common, but don't expect to be in charge at the end of your internship! Usually, you'll have to work from the bottom up, but interns are much more likely to get a job offer from the employer they're interning with. If you decide to intern at a smaller company, you'll sacrifice the name prestige for other benefits, such as having an opportunity to see your projects go from start to finish. Simply gaining Paid experience is essential in order to provide value and creativity to the team.

No fenders makes a hot rod?
What do you think of this?
My Dad built this car out of 16 gauge sheet metal and 1-3/4 inch steel tubing. Titled it as a 1983 "assembled vehicle". I guess IT would not get in to the NSRA meet this year.
But hey, it's got no fenders!
The pre-1948 rule turned me off to NSRA back in the 70's when I first started driving. My first car was a 1951 Chevy Fleetline, so it would not make the cut. Then, 1973, the only pre-48 steel you could find was original and the only fiberglass was for a VW dune buggy or a T bucket. Now, 40 years later, you can almost assemble an entire 49-54 Chevy with new after-market steel AND get it into the NSRA meet.
In my opinion, these arbitrary rules defining a "hot rod" or a "street rod" or a "rat rod" end up fracturing the participants in an unnecessary way.
|jeremy bilbrey
|I am very opinionated about this subject. I understand that money is in the forefront of this change. I miss the pre '48 shows, if anything they could have moved the cut off date to '72 like the Shades of the Past Rod Run(which I dont necessarily agree with either) and not have a revolving cut off every year..one day i can imagine a '89 or '90 escort beside me at the show...ridiculous.
NSRA 48 & older
NSRA this weekend in Kalamazoo Michigan You can get in with a 1982 or older. I have been going for years with my 53 chevy pu but it looks like a 48 so who knows? Used to be about 2800 to 3000 cars but now about 1800. some real nice newer stuff there
Personally to me street rods are wanbe hotrods anyway, no go twinkly, twinkly little chrome star.
The idea that one takes a car that is just rusted and bashed up, fixes it, slaps fancy paint on it and basically looks stock in the end is boring.
A hotrod needs pizazz , in your face no fenders, side pipes and loud, thats appealing.
I am not king so all I say is just the way I view the world. I like cars and a fine well finished machine is t i t s in my book. I only see American iron when I go to the shows, big honking American iron.
Two types of machines
I can see where someone might think that they are two different types of machines .......for a VERY short time period!
The NSRA manufactured the definition of what a "Street Rod" is and it didn't exist before they did! Then by not enforcing a strict rule guideline things seemed to fall into gray areas.
The NSRA is NOT a club that votes by membership. It's a privately owned business that has to survive in a tough economy.
I think I can argue that my flame engulfed 1969 is more of a "Street Rod" than many cars that came through the gates the last few years!
I don't understand the logic of excluding cool cars from the show because of age. I do know that it worked to get in younger people and that's a good thing!
So while 21 years difference in manufacture from the same place is a sin, replicars that loosely resemble older cars are perfectly fine? Rat Rods are fine? The list goes on!
Trying to restrict the entry is not good business sense. It's also not a true car lover's logic.
A cool car is a cool car, no matter the year of manufacture. Heck I like some of the new muscle coming out today and don't mind seeing it at the local cruise-ins!
|NSRA, national street rod assoc. And there are muscle cars, two completely different types of machines.
NSRA Nats revisit
Ok, I threw this out there a couple of years ago because I seen the change coming, and wanted it to within reason. I also seen the line being drawn in the sand.
I stand with the "nothing newer than 72" logic, but the extremely small percentage of mid to late 70's cars that came to the NSRA Nationals were few and far between.
I seen some fantastic Detroit Iron from the 50's, 60's and early 70's.
I tried to make the point that the change was coming and that we need to manage it instead of drawing the line in the sand and falling on swords.
I liked most of what I seen and prefer a lot of 50's and 60's cars to a lot of 40's and 20's... just my opinion.
I seen some fantastic cars that would not have made it in last year, and a lot more cars that I personally liked!
I also seen a significant increase in younger people attending.
If the NSRA can define what a Street Rod is in the first place, they can danged sure well re-define it as well!
Not all change is bad!
|Don Lyon
NSRA open to newer cars?
I dont want a change,if you want to look at or show with muscle cars, do it. I wouldnt show up at a Vintage Packard show or the Mopar Nats with my 46 Ford. Las Vegas had a HUGE Corvette Organization and you can bet your sweet backside no Mustangs ever showed up at their events. I prefer cruises to shows any time, (I am non-denominational) just no hassle and a great variety of people.
The rats are here to stay. http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/newr...e=1&p=1010332#
Like them or not they fit into the broad qualification of anything before 1948 is a "Street Rod".
The term Hot Rod is a little more definable. So is ricer, although it's getting a little more gray now.
You already have Ricer engines in Street Rods though. So change is happening, and not everyone will like the change, but many have accepted the change that has already happened and moved on.
I don't like some things done to some cars of the 60's and don't care for some of the cultures of some car guys. I seem to get along with most Street Rodders and most Hot Rodders I have met.
I don't care for burn outs, but will watch the stupidity just for the sake of wonderment at how someone could do that! Doesn't mean I want to hang out with them. The guys I like to hang out with have a little more sense. Will I lay a little scratch now and then? You betcha! But the line between a demonstration of power and demonstration of stupidity is pretty clear to me. Maybe not someone else, and that's ok. But I watch and accept, while I don't always agree.
We all have our opinions, likes and dislikes, and won't always agree on everything. And that's ok! That's what freedom is all about. Thank a vet!
I'm not mad, and I am not picking on you...but... ...
look at 3 things you put in the last post.
EDIT: I guess what I am saying, is like the issues here in CT with yups moving into once-country settings on nice cutesy farm roads. They find some land, build their monster, but then want the town to restrict ANY more building permits because the road & town won't look the same. So, you want the rats & ricers excluded, but want your "too new" truck and chevelle to be included.......because those 2 are "more" of a streetrod than a rat or ricer??
OK, I give..
Ok guys, I'll attend the shows that allow me in and won't try to dirty the grounds with my hot rod that doesn't deserve to share the ground with the rat rods at Louisville.
I was just curious how many would take your cars and go home so to speak.
When it happens don't blame me. I have no say. I don't know if I'll try to get in that first year or not. I prefer NSRA over GoodGuys for a couple of reasons. I sure hope they don't eventually allow ricers though.
One last thought before I let this thread die. There apparently is no clean lines in defining a street rod that I am satisfied with at this time other than 1948 being the last year of a street rod.
And anything a corporation can manufacture in fiberglass that looks reasonably close to 30's/40's qualifies where as a 1950's Detriot steel body does not. ok, I accept that.
Toyota 6 bangers work for a street rod, but a classic 348 American V-8 won't work in a newer vehicle. Ok,fine.
Rat rods are ok! ....alright, I accept that.
One thing I read in the magazine they put out when you get your package is a poll they published on what people liked best about the Nats. I'll never forget it! The poll asked: "what is it you like best about the Nats?". The answer that got the most votes was "the trip out there with good friends".
Guys, it goes way beyond the cars. The cars themselves are a small part of the overall experience. It goes in to good friends sharing good times, entertainment, education, going out for a good meal with good people, a chance to get away and immerse in a car culture.
When the year limit changes, non of that goes away. I sure hope to see plenty of 32's 33's and 34's among the 55's 56's 57's ...and may be even 58's? Maybe it won't happen for several years yet? I'll wait.
|I think it need's to stay the way it is.A street rod is a street rod,And hot rods are hot rods,And so on!!!!!
Don't get me wrong, I love the muscle cars of the 60's and pretty much all the 50's cars. But when the NSRA starts letting in the newer cars into the Nats, we will most likely start scheduling our trips back east to attend the all Chrysler show at Carlsile or possibly the Mopar Nats instead.

Hello, old readers, new readers, and first time blog readers. I am Jeremy as you probably know and I have a BSc in Neuroscience and a GDip in Psychology.
This blog aims to cover several topics which interest me as I see fit. Content will range from scientific findings and journal reviews (mostly in the Neuroscience and Psychology sectors) all the way to the latest technology gossip and tips on better ways to improve your computer. There will also probably be a few silly posts scattered around about things I think my readers (and myself) find humorous.
This site will also act as a place for me to showcase some of my hobbies and such will include my artwork. At some point I may introduce a commission system subject to interest. At the moment I particularly enjoy doing anime style artwork although from time to time I dabble in different styles too. There will also be plenty of graphic design work which I flit in and out of on occasion. This kind of content will appear in the gallery section of the website.
This site will truly be dynamic and go with my interests as well as the interests of its (soon to be) readers. I say this because your feedback does not go unnoticed and indeed I will reply to many comments on my posts. So the take away message is, subscribe to the RSS feed if you like, read the stuff on here which interests you and let me know about the things you like, don't like, what you want more of, less of, or perhaps just asking me to be clearer with my explanations. The content on this blog is as much up to you to choose it as it is down to me to write it.
Get reading! Looking forward to your comments!

Global Perspective: We've sensed a natural affinity between Maniscalco's work and the Bocci 14 pendant light, and the San Francisco-based architect agrees. "The individual globes have a handcrafted quality," he says. "It works from close up and far away, and it's got a really nice, organic feel that reinforces the clean lines of my architecture." Bocci, bocci.ca
Framed Art: Based near Seattle, Quantum builds custom, all-wood and clad windows and doors—including the Slide & Fold door system, which permits openings up to 42 feet wide. Maniscalco made an assembly of the company's sliding doors and windows the centerpiece of the Cube House in San Francisco, shown. "They've got extremely clean profiles and a rich palette of materials," he says. Quantum Windows & Doors, quantumwindows.com
Impenetrable: Many of Maniscalco's clients are interested in white kitchen counters, but white natural stone tends to be too porous for the job, he says. PentalQuartz's Super White, a quartz composite bonded with polyester resins, gives Maniscalco the look he wants without the staining issues. "It's the purest white we've been able to find," he says. "It has a beautiful, luminescent quality." PentalQuartz, pentalquartz.comweaetxdyvaydzcwq
Tall Timber: A family business founded in 1898, Dinesen specializes in oak and Douglas fir flooring milled in Denmark, from trees that are 80 to 200 years old. "They're giant boards," says Maniscalco, who has used the fir in 12-inch-wide planks up to 18 feet long. "They make very organic-feeling floors." Sales are handled in Denmark by consultants who speak several languages, including English. Dinesen, dinesen.com
Line of Fire: Gas fireplaces don't burn wood, so why put logs in them? Spark "takes that idea and plays on it," Maniscalco says. The company's direct-vent and vent-free models work in existing fireplaces, stand-alone installations, indoors, outdoors, and with virtually any imaginable custom surround. Maniscalco is fond of the 6-foot-long Fire Ribbon. "The definitive linear quality makes a huge impact in a modern composition," he says. Spark Fires, sparkfires.com
Pinup: Vin de Garde can supply an oenophile's every need, from cooling systems to complete custom cellars. Maniscalco gives top marks to the Nek-Rite storage system, which supports bottles on stainless steel pins that project from a fixed wall panel available in wood and powdercoat finishes. "It allows the bottles to be displayed almost as art," he says. Vin de Garde, vindegarde.ca
Rock On: Houston-based Maiden Stone works with an international network of quarries and fabricators to supply finished stone for architectural and landscape applications. Maniscalco frequently uses the Carmel Cream split-face limestone in a thin veneer. "It's a godsend for us," he says. "It brings a natural, earthbound element to modern projects. The texture gives a strong contrast to all the clean lines we're generating." For a dark stone, he likes the Black Conte basalt in a burnished finish. Maiden Stone, maiden-stone.com
Wish List
Fine Line: In dubbing its glazing system the Invisible Wall, Vitrocsa may be stretching the truth, but not by much. The aluminum alloy frames around its sliding, pivoting, and guillotine units are only ¾ inch wide. Panel sizes up to 200 square feet are available, and the company has supplied sliding units up to 15 feet tall. "That's my dream product," Maniscalco says. "Absolutely zero sight lines anywhere. It's spectacularly minimal." Vitrocsa USA, vitrocsa.com

Top electric lawnmowers
The last thing many homeowners may be thinking about when they yank the plug on their gas-powered lawnmower is their contribution to global warming and poor air quality. But as more and more people attempt to lessen the environmental footprint they leave behind, one of the first areas they should take a look at is the lawn and garden equipment stashed in their garage. According to one study from the Environmental Protection Agency, one gas-powered mower emits as much air pollution in one hour as a car driven 100 miles. The same mowing session (or use of a gas-powered leaf blower and/or edger for an hour) releases as many hydrocarbons — a key component of harmful ground level ozone — as are released by a 1992 Ford Explorer driven 23,600 miles.
Here is a list of some of the most popular models:
- Black & Decker CM1936 19-Inch 36-Volt Cordless Electric Lawn Mower With Removable Battery
- Black & Decker MM1800 18-Inch 12 amp Corded Electric Lawn Mower
- WORX WG783 Lil' Mo 14-Inch 24-Volt Cordless 3-In-1 Lawn Mower with Removable Battery
- Earthwise 50118 18-Inch 12 amp Electric Side Discharge/Mulching Lawn Mower
- Greenworks 25022 20-Inch 12 Amp Electric Bag/Mulch/Side Discharge Lawn Mower
- Toro 20360 e-Cycler 20-Inch 36-Volt Cordless Electric Lawn Mower
- Black & Decker CM1836 18-Inch 36-Volt Cordless Electric Lawn Mower
- WORX WG785 17-Inch 24 Volt Cordless 3-In-1 Lawn Mower With Removable Battery
- WORX WG788 19-Inch 36 Volt Cordless 3-In-1 Lawn Mower With Removable Battery & IntelliCut

What did you use to cut the helmet with? Did the cut edge need any cleanup before continuing? How do you make a straight cut?
I have never cut or glued this kind of plastic before, so any tips are welcome and very helpful.

What did you use to cut the helmet with? Did the cut edge need any cleanup before continuing? How do you make a straight cut?
I have never cut or glued this kind of plastic before, so any tips are welcome and very helpful.
I used a cut off disc in a dremel tool to cut the plastic. Don't try to cut through all at once. Score it initially then go steadily deeper. I used 5 minute epoxy to glue the two plastics. Just be sure to rough up both gluing surfaces with at least 80 grit sandpaper, 60 or 40 would be better. Good luck.
Measure twice, cut once...
I measured and marked it at least a dozen times, and I still cut it 4mm off.
Time to get some bondo...
I don't have a dremel (anymore), so I used a razorknife to score it and just kept going a little deeper. It cut pretty clean, but my hand is sore from using it. Next time I think I will spray the scored line on the helmet with wd40 so the blade doesn't grip the plastic as much. It kept getting stuck when it went too deep. Also, a duller blade might help because it would be scratching into the plastic instead of trying to slice through it.
Thanks for the help SD68! The scoring probably made it alot easier and cleaner than just manhandling it and cutting some fingers off in the process.
Well, it is cut now, I am going to get the camera out to take progress pics. All I need now is some bondo and some for sale signs. I don't think I will quarter the helmet, as my head is rather small. Front to back, the helmet is dead on with WOF's template, and it is only a little off on the sides. Plus, it will be going to my stepson after it is painted anyway. After all, this is only a test to see how it will all go together when I make the real one.
We're cutting our helmets right now....and since my sons have rather small heads, I noticed, like dungbeetle, that the un-quartered batting helmet pretty-much fits the dome base pattern on Alan's templates (pages 9 and 10), so I'm wondering if I could just leave those unaltered...my melon, however, is around a whopping 7.5" to 7.75" or so in size, so I was wondering from SD68 if he would suggest that I quarter my helmet top...and are those templates on pages 9 and 10 the correct ones to use? We tried a "test-fit" using the paper template, and it seems to look pretty accurate (with a thin padding of foam in the crown for the boys, it will bring their eyes center to the eyeslot)...for me, it actually looks pretty accurate also; I'm going to use the deepest of the cut crowns for mine so when I add the padding, it will bring my eyes up to slot-level also. I don't mind quartering the tops, but if I can cut out some extra work, I'd like to....:confused
Also, I can vary the amount of "flair" at the base of the helmet by adjusting the angle and depth of the overlap in the rear of the pattern, right? I want the "thinner" look to mine (I don't really like the wider "movie version" or the "mystery"...I'm more partial to the early DP's width), but I don't want to end up with something perfectly cylindrical at the top and bottom cross-sections, either....any suggestions?
I hope these question make sense!:p
:fettesbMy helmet is probably closer in size to an MSH2. I actually increased the size of the templates to 107% for my head. Look at Spideyfetts to give you some idea of the size. For the smaller sized heads I would definitely try to eliminate the quartering process if possible. After quartering I would go with epoxy putty of some sort for strength to fill the initial gap then use bondo for final shaping. Just be sure to maintain the geometry of the helmet and keep your spacing even. Hope this helps,
I used the template "as-is" (fit to page) when I printed them initially...I think I will go back and enlarge them for myself (I'll try the 107% like you did), and see what it looks like in cardboard...here's a question aimed as using the templates, though....when this thing goes together, do you really have to use the "helmet form" (page 4 and 8), and the "inner surface" (pages 14 and 17), or can you just use the connected pages 13,15,16,18, 19 and 20? I'm not clear on what those first two templates are for, unless it is meant as a "guide" to help in shaping the final helmet, much like the dome and base patterns are....it seems by looking at the other tutorial threads, most guys are just making a single-layer (excepting the cheeks, of course) "wrap" of Sintra...am I missing something?
:fettesbI used the inner surface and the outer surface The inner surface forms the two back panels after this area is removed from the outer surface piece. Also, after you cut out for the cheek areas it doubles up the thickness in the mandible area to give it the right profile against the visor. Other people have used the helmet form with their cardboard buckets in a T configuration to hold the rest at the appropriate flair. With the plastic and the way the template is designed the plastic will form the appropriate flair because of the stiffness of the plastic. I just double checked against the helmet base template once done. Good luck.
Thanks SO MUCH for helping me out, here...I hope I'm not burning you out on this subject...but I think I gotchya....so, the inner surface is the "main" part of the helmet, and the outer surface wraps around that, sort of like a second, 3-dimensional skin (minus the rear panels, eyeslot and cheeks, of course) with the brow-ridge detail and mandible ridges sticking out in "relief", so to speak...is that correct?
Also, I bought two 4' x 8' sheets of the 1/8"/3mm Sintra today for 50 bucks...I'm gonna use it for armor, but in your opinion, do you think it can also be used to make the helmets? If not, I'll have to find a source for the thinner 2 mm (no parking sign) Sintra...
(PS...I PM'd Spideyfett about his bucket, too....thanks!)
I think the 1/8" would get to thick for the brow ridge detail and may not be flexible enough to wrap and form the helmet without heat.
Thanks again, man...I think I might use a combination of both thicknesses...I'll start on them tommorow! :thumbsup
I will be using 2 thicknesses of 2mm sintra on the inner surface pieces to give it more strength and also to give it a more realistic thickness. I will also be using the Dome Base and the Helmet Base Guides to further strengthen the shape of the helmet. I am going to try this stuff called Quick Steel as filler. I used it to fix a hole in my friend's oil pan. This stuff gets extremely hard quickly. It is an epoxy putty and it can be sanded after it hardens.
I used the Quick Steel to fill the hole in the top of the batting helmet, and it hardened enough to sand in about 3 minutes. I used a penny on the inside to keep the putty in its place, but when I tried to get it off after the putty hardened, the penny was stuck on there permanently. I even tried to pry it out with a screwdriver, but it wouldn't budge. I think I like this stuff. The only drawback is the odor...it smells like...roadkill on a freshly tarred highway.

i have been looking for a slr style camera that is fully automatic and i thought this was the answer until i noted that, unbelievably, it does not have a viewfinder, why ,why ,why? This is because in bright sunshine you need a viewfinder as i found to my peril in California when trying to take shots of Blue whales.
Does NOBODY make a simple 'auto' camera with a viewfinder?
@Keith - I can't give you an answer, as I haven't researched every model. However, I'm personally not too hopeful. The problem you describe is genuine, without a doubt, but manufacturers have really latched on to the idea of the live-view style of shooting ie held out in front.
Like it or not, the size of the LCD screen on the back is a fairly major differentiator when it comes to choosing a camera, with most people opting for as big as they can get - 3-inches or more. Sadly, that is mutually exclusive to having a view-finder. The unfortunate reality is that an optical view-finder takes up space, adds additional cost, and will go unused by most people.
I'd like to have a solution for you... but short of buying an SLR, I fear your choices are severely limited. I'm sure all the major manufacturers are working on LCDs that perform better in daylight (transflective LCD is perfect, but pricey!), but other than that, maybe you can bodge a little hood out of an ice cream container or something similar. :(
@KEITH BLACKWOOD: Look at the Pentax X70. It surrounds technical characteristic you was speaking about! You'll be impressed of it...I'm convinced of that!
PS: Guys, I'm still waiting for a review of it!
Thanks for all the comments guys . To Igor , the pentax is out of my price bracket, i believe the Panasonic FZ28 @ 𧵿, local, would be my best bet, what do you think? The TRUSTED REVIEW has i think swayed me
Well, I guess it was inevitable, but it's sad to see that one of the only areas of compact digital cameras (the other being premium compacts such as the P6000, G10, LX3, and GX200) that hadn't been dumbed down for the moron masses now succumbing to the same.
I guess soon I won't be able to buy a camera with manual control over aperture, shutter speed, white balance, or ISO without shelling out for a DSLR. I mean really, how hard is it to take a few minutes to learn how cameras work? Before built in light meters, people who called themselves photographers could set the right exposure just by looking at a scene! It's like all the "computer experts" these days who can't even write a line of code if their lives depended on it.
Please tell me how I can convince this Camera to set an ISO Number ??? It would then
be the Perfect One for me.
Thank You veru much. Tung
As a computer geek who has written lines of code and does so for a living I have a few observations about this camera-
1)Its a nice step up from a regular point and shoot camera that you get for about 100 bucks.
2)I very much appreciate the macro settings being so easy to use
3)The camera feel is excellent and the unit weight is low despite being powered 4 AA batteries
4)I very much enjoy the simplicity of this unit and I am very glad to take pics, win photo contests and have tell me I am not a photographer because I did not attend the school of real photogs who weant to screw around with a camera all day and miss a shot. I would rather take a pic than use a camera and day
In response to the comments about LCD visibility in bright sunlight, both my Nikon P80 and Panasonic FX500 have screens that are quite usable in bright sunlight when the LCD brightness is cranked up. Of course, this is only possible with a camera that has adjustable brightness on it's LCD. Also, it doesn't take all day, but only a few seconds to set the correct aperture and shutter speed. With aperture priority, it's much easier than in manual mode, which can be more cumbersome, because then you have to set both aperture and shutter speed to match the correct exposure for the light conditions. In aperture priority mode, the camera sets the proper shutter speed for the user set aperture, so if I'm shooting at a long telephoto focal length, I set the aperture wide open for the fastest shutter speed available. If I'm shooting a wide angle landscape, I stop the lens down as far as I can for maximum depth of field and stiil get an acceptable hand held shutter speed. In auto program mode the camera may not set the optimum combination for the photo you're taking, particularly when using a long focal length where the maximum shutter speed for the scene is needed to combat camera shake. Image stabilizers aren't perfect and only give a one or two stop advantage, so even with stabilization on the camera may use a slower shutter speed and smaller aperture than optimum. This is why if you take the time to learn how focal lengths, apertures, shutter speeds and ISO interact, it will improve you're photos exponentially. And as I said before, using aperture priority mode only takes seconds, less time than setting the proper auto scene mode! That shouldn't be too hard for a computer geek. And I hope your code writing is better than your grammar and spelling.
You have 3 run on sentences; poor form for an implied master.
My "code" writing is just fine thanks. As to the content of your reply, yes thanks. However, I do not often find myself in situations where the LCD brightness is a huge factor. I photograph abandoned structures mostly and of course, I get to do the usual family photos.
However, I am just too freaking lazy by my own addmission and I have a very hard time believing that choosing, Auto Mode, pointing the device and pressing the button is a crime against the humanities. Additionally, I do not believe that the directions you provided would be performed in a few seconds. I just have the audacity to want to take a picture and move on after hiking for 3 hours in an abandoned coal field, getting eaten by bugs and scratched to hell by thorns, I selfishly desire to point and shoot with a quality pic IN THE SHORTEST TIME POSSIBLE.
THEN I go home, crack a brew, upload the pics I took and find something I like so that I can restart my Phd in Appalachian studies.
I just got my new Nikon L100. before I visited thousand's of website to get review. Yea. there is no ISO setting & Viewfinder but its ok. Image stabilization: lens-shift is good choice for L100.
I was still confused that Fuji's S1500 is better or Nikon's L100 ? as far I can see previous models and sample picks of Nikon is the best choice. always something about its Quality.
Sony's DSC H50 is same category but very high $$$ then fuji & Nikon. when you take photo from any Auto Scene Mode you must give few second to camera to adjust and choose correct Scene Mode. its not a super computer process millions in a second.
its handling is very good, looks like DSLR camera. very user friendly.
I've owned my L100 for 3 months and before this L100, I got an Canon IXY 80 with me in 2 years. Before buying Nikon L100, I had surfed hundred reviews and made hundred comparisons between it and other series, other brands. Just can't describe how happy I was when I first touched this camera (My bro in US bought it from BestBuy); however, just can't say how disappointed I got when I began to shoot during the very first weeks. And I have some reasons to explain to you (based on the comparison with my former IXY and Canon SX 100IS).
Note: My mother tounge is not English, so professional photography language is limited in my review.
1. L100 captures objects rather slowly, especially under not-so-good light (I know this happens to other cameras but here, I mean to compare it with an IXY and a SX 100IS). It's easy to understand if you miss some amazing shots. Furthermore, it's very annoying to take photos under the yellow or orange light because such lights always make the photos look like "flash points" though actually it's not like that at all. And most of time you can't capture moving objects without using Continuous Mode.
2. In other reviews, they say that it can capture objects from the distance of 1cm, under the Macro mode; however; I bet you'll burst into happy laughter if you can do that (quickly). I've tried lots of times, under very good light, but so rarely have I succeeded. 5 cm is better (not 1cm like what they say). Again, sadly I have to admit that this camera's capturing speed is not really satisfactory.
3. Normal photo quality. My former IXY produced normal quality photos, so does this L100. I think I'm a calm and careful person and know how to hold the camera steadily in my 2 hands. But the quality of L100's products do not meet my satisfaction, though some of them were really good and fantastic under the very perfect light condition).
I mean it's not really heaven-like like what they say in ads.
4. Certain difficulties in use. I just can't explain why it takes the camera 5s to record a photo using Flash. Honestly I don't find this point convenient. You may miss lots of interesting moments; somebody who wants to have 2 or more photos, they have to stare at you with the camera in 5s, wondering "How long could that be?"
5. Together, the most threatening point ever happened to me. Sometimes the camera just got "ill". It suddendly stopped working and seemed "frozen". Nothing you could do but open the battery and restart it. This has 4 times happened to me (since March,09) and of course, I was so worried and crazy about that. I asked my friends and they say they have never been in such a situation.
6. Take note that the photos on your LCD screen are much and much better than they're actually on the PC. It's easy to understand. With my IXY, the difference was not so big, so I didn't usually get upset. With this L100, my photos may look really PERFECT and COOL on the LCD, but sometimes they're very normal to see on the PC. Because on the LCD screen, photos/videos look rather brighter, more lively and the colors are much nicer. Forget those stuffs on PC screen!
Finally, L100 has its certain weak points (6 as I listed above), I still love it though. It's good enough for an architecture student like me and my own slogan is "Chase for photos/scenes, not the camera series", I treat my L100 like my beloved pet. I love the shutter sounds of L100 while Canon's are not my best choice. I also like the wide angle and Close-Up mode. Actually I use Close-Up mode more often than Macro mode and this wonderful mode make very good photos. I think L100 would make it best if it were easier to use when you want to change between modes. I think Canon's mode wheel is really cool and smart. It doesn't cost much time to set up. Furthermore, I like it when all I have to do is to press OK to turn back to the normal size of the photo after zooming it out/in. With a Canon's, you have to use the zooming wheel, which costs more time.

I really think that the Sony H20 really competes with this camera but it has less zoom (10X) also with the feature of 720p movies and it is as easy to use as the Nikon L100
Are you going to review the Sony H20?
i just got this camera for my b-day a couple days ago! I love it! This is my 3rd nikon- one is a proffessional, muti lens (film) and the other is a point and shoot! I got this to be my in between! So far I love it! I read all the reviews before mine and i see they are all bad, however i also noticed that the people writting these are used to kodak easyshares- which is the farthest thing from compareable! Nikon is made for the photo freaks of the worls that want the freedom to adjust things like shutter speed, lighting, etc. I have to say that for the price (200.00 @ walmart) really what can you complain about!? I suggest this camera however if you are not familier with Nikons- simply READ THE MANUAL! It can be confusing at fisrt but believe me this camera works wonders when you figure all the bells and whistles out! :)

YouTube's "Epic Chef" offers gluttony to the masses
By Dana Feldman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Bacon, whiskey and stilettos - this is not your mother's kitchen. This is "Epic Chef," YouTube's 20,000-calorie cooking spectacle that makes its debut on Friday.
"The show is complete madness," producer Rob Czar told Reuters on a recent set visit in Los Angeles, where two scantily-clad women in heels hurled greasy bacon and corn dogs at each other during a taping.
"There are no rules other than the usage of bacon and Jack Daniels," Czar said. "Pandemonium is encouraged."
"Epic Chef," an offshoot of the Canadian-produced YouTube sensation "Epic Meal Time" series, aims to bring in viewers by the million with extra helpings of gluttony - all in spite of Americans' obsession with health and weight loss.
"We're here to say pizza is good, cheeseburgers are good, but pizza-cheeseburgers are even better," said host Harley Morenstein, a former substitute teacher whose "Epic Meal Time" garners some three million views per weekly episode on YouTube.
"We do this so that you don't have to," writer Tyler Lemco added. "You can watch us and live vicariously through us."
"Epic Chef" pits contestants against each other to prepare outrageous heart-attack-inducing meat-laden dishes with massive calorie, fat and cholesterol content all in the name of impressing a panel of judges. Continued...

You are right.
It is expensive to have someone cut and custom tube a barrel. It was $225 on my SX2 to cut and thread and for 3 stainless long chokes and a speed wrench. That was near 10 years ago, but I wanted the best setup I could get at the time. At that time I had the short invectors. I have had several guns cut and choked over the years because I like short barrels and good chokes. I have had Cononial thin wall Tru Chokes in my SX-1 for 25 years and have shot lots of steel early on in that gun. A bunch of people told me it wouldn't work. There are a bunch of arm chair " experts" giving advice that don't have clue. Trading barrels is a viable option but that wasn't the question. It depends on what you want to accomplish.

I am teaching grade 3 Chinese students. I gave them a dictation this morning - only requiring them to write down the letters as I spell them, and not to know how to spell words - and find a number of common problems with all of them. For example, "m" and "n" - half of the students do not hear the difference. "g" and "j" are also difficult for them. "b" and "p" and "e" - all having the same sound.
Any suggestions for helping them? I think this problem is going to haunt them unless it is corrected.

Santa Monica Mountains
National Recreation Area
Mountains in the City: A Laboratory for Learning
". . . our good fortune can't possibly last any longer than our natural resources". —Will Rogers
- To Will Rogers, the Santa Monica Mountains were home—a place where the cowboy-philosopher created a comfortable ranch in the midst of Hollywood glitter.
- To visionary Los Angeles water engineer William Mulholland, the Santa Monicas formed a natural park, ". . . 55 miles of scenic splendor for the... people of Los Angeles".
- For the Chumash and Gabrielenos, the mountains provided a place for inland and coastal villages and a base for trade and fishing expeditions to the Channel Islands.
- For the movie moguls of the thirties, the Santa Monicas provided a dynamic landscape which could be transformed from the wild west to colonial Massachusets to China.
- And to ten million residents of today's Los Angeles urban area, the Santa Monica Mountains are a place for education, recreation and rejuvenation.
In 1978, 15 years of effort to establish parklands and preserve open space in the mountains was culminated with the creation of Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. As envisioned by Congress, this would be a cooperative project combining Federal, state, county and community parks with private camps, homeowners and land planning agencies in an effort to preserve, protect and wisely use 150,000 acres of mountains and seashore.
The mountains and seashore have always been a special place for recreation. Private camps have long provided camping and outdoor experiences. The equestrian tradition can be traced back to the Rancho Period. The famous Malibu and Santa Monica beaches are visited by over 27 million people a year.
With inflation and high travel expenses, both visitors and residents are now provided opportunities to enjoy the ever shrinking open space and mountain area—a vast laboratory for learning about our relationship with the earth and with each other.
The Santa Monica Mountains stretch almost fifty miles westward from Griffith Park to Point Mugu—a rare combination of major mountain range, seashore and urban area.
The land itself—this coastal mountain range—forms a remarkable resource. Created by movements of the earth's crust, the mountains may be part of the same geologic uplift which created the Channel Islands to the west. Rugged slopes and valleys reflect eons of changes in the earth's surface. Ancient seabeds and marine fossils are found on high ridgelines.
The recreation area constitutes a sizeable national preserve for Southern California's Mediterranean ecosystem limited in the world to four other western coasts. Miles of mountains are covered with chaparral and sage. Between these mountains lie woodlands and grasslands, increasingly rare environments in Southern California. Steep, rocky canyons in the Santa Monicas plunge seaward, sheltering waterfalls and streamside groves of oak and sycamore. The seashore offers salt and fresh water marshes as well as rock reefs and offshore kelp beds.
Southern California's native wildlife still survives in the mountains. Footprints of mountain lion, coyote, mule, deer and bobcats can be found. Golden eagles nest in mountain cliffs overlooking streams which still harbor spawning steelhead trout. Massive migrations of birds traveling along the Pacific Flyway between Alaska and South America are visible at Malibu and Mugu Lagoons.
The Mediterranean climate varies—accounting for the diversity in native plants and animals. Winter brings cool, foggy weather and as much as 25 inches of rain to the interior canyons. Spring blossoms forth with a golden dazzle of poppies, mustard, and coreopsis (a shrubby sunflower), green meadows, and a blue haze of ceanothus on the hillside.
Summer and fall dries the inland grassland to brown and gold, leaving lands dangerously susceptible to wildfires. At this driest time of year, the hot Santa Ana winds, blowing toward the coast, can fan the smallest spark into flame. Fires sweep through the chaparral, reducing it to burned skeletons, yet triggering the life cycle to begin again. Unfortunately for residents of the mountains, wildfires leave bare slopes which are prone to flooding and landslides when rains return in winter.
People have long dealt with the cycle of fire in the Santa Monicas. They have lived here for more than 7,000 years, attracted by the water, open land, sunshine, and a warm climate equally healthy for crops and humans.
The Chumash and Gabrielenos left behind beautiful rock paintings, tracings of villages, and burial sites. The Chumash, noted astronomers, are known for their advanced monetary system. Surveys have identified trails and settlements and have unearthed hundreds of archeological sites although few have been preserved. Presently, thousands of their descendents live in the Southern California area.
In the 1700's, Spanish, then Mexican settlers came. They brought with them horses and cattle to make this a land of ranchos and vaqueros. Western settlers in the 1800's added dry farming and railroads to the landscape.
Early in the 20th Century the addition of water from the Owens Valley helped the area's population to boom. The oil, movie and aerospace industries brought even more people and more changes to the land.
Today's Los Angeles continues a human story which stretches unbroken from nomadic hunters to an ethnically and economically varied metropolitan area.
These mountains provide us with important perspectives. Commuters travel the major freeways while hikers pause a mile away, watching a red tail hawk bank in the wind. From the air at night, the lights of city streets surround and bisect the mountain area. Mountain lions roam the dark canyons. Whales migrate off the Malibu shoreline.
People, land and sea interact here to create a distinctive place. The healthy future of the land and sea depends on people—on our capacity for respect, vision, compromise and care.
To hike and wade along mountain creeks, to sleep beneath glittering stars under a great oak tree, and to look to a horizon free of roads, billboards and buildings—these are powerful experiences. Such escapes free us from our everyday demands, release our imaginations, and assist us in appreciating the open spaces and exhilarating natural landscapes which intermingle here in urban Southern California.
The efforts to protect and carefully use the Santa Monica Mountains will teach us much about each other. But our goal is also to preserve wild places close to home and save a piece of our heritage that will hold "answers to questions we don't yet know how to ask".

My first one didn't turn out very well at all, as you might have seen by my previous Avatar, but I at least learned from my mistakes, and I'm hoping that this one turns out a lot better. This one will be mostly made out of 2.5mm thick sheet metal (which is a bear to work with!) and the only real custom part of it is that I'm planning on putting a fin of sorts on top, which will be based on ideas that I get from the Republic ARC trooper helmet. I'll be uploading photos soon, so any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated!

I never did remove the drone comb frame.That was probably one of the biggest mistakes that I had ever made in my beekeeping. I probably bred the varroa mite like there was no tomorrow. Yup, I hang my head in shame.
I would like to be as "mite-free" as possible while still being as natural as possible.
Once my friend told that their company sells 140 different kind of car chemical. Have you chemical free car allready, which runs with holy spirit?
you'll see that no matter what you do they will still raise the same number of drones, therefore the same number of mites.
Now, this sounds like using the drone comb foundation is an excellent natural method of culling out the queens that have the propensity for chalkbrood disease. I had chalkbrood disease quite badly in one of my Carniolan packages that I hived last spring. I requeened when I saw it was a big issue and had no further problem.
But when I see large amounts of chalkbrood, I will go on the pretense that it is the fault of the queen.
He has not ever lost any hives to the varroa mite, he proclaims this.
I referenced a study by two respected Entomologists,C.G. Levin and C.H. Collison, and you call it the "worst nonsence what I have seen for long time!"
The point is, if you forget a drone frame, you haven't made any difference. If you remove it, you have removed some varroa and a lot of resources for the bees.

Elixir Technologies Customer Story
Elixir Technologies tangos with Alfresco to develop next generation client communication software
- First to market a fully integrated web-based document management solution for the client communication, document composition and print stream conversion markets
- Cited as a Strong Performer in Document Output Customer Communications by Forrester Research, Inc. in its September 2011 report "The Forrester Wave™: Document Output for Customer Communications Management, Q3 2011"
Elixir Technologies is the developer of Tango, a collaborative document output customer communication platform able to integrate and manage the people and processes associated with creation, management, and delivery of highly personalized content including printed documents, email, web pages, and to mobile devices. Modules include design and layout, data management, business logic, production, and content management and archival which use Alfresco. These modules are integrated with Tango's workflow component providing collaboration and control at all levels — all accessible from a browser.
Since 1985, Elixir has been providing software to help businesses create and manage high-volume documents and today thousands of customers worldwide use Elixir software. Tango is Elixir's platform that allows these activities to move entirely to the web. This removes the need for locally installed software and allows any authorized user access to the system.
Tango connects all the processes and people together easily through web-modules and utilizes Alfresco to provide the controls and management necessary to ensure content is versioned, available as needed and provides an archival module.
After evaluating multiple open source document management solutions, Elixir selected Alfresco Enterprise as the best fit to integrate with its next generation solution, Tango. Alfresco Enterprise offered complete enterprise content management functionality in a stable product release backed by a leading company with a trusted management team and strong technical support. Other open source technologies only offered subsets of the functionality required, community releases and lacked technical services.
Once Elixir selected Alfresco as its third party tool, it began discussing an OEM partnership. Elixir was impressed with Alfresco's partner organization and willingness to help Elixir achieve its goals with Tango. Working with Alfresco on the OEM partnership further convinced Elixir that Alfresco was the right partner and technology.
Alfresco offers Tango rich functionality with document management capabilities, image management, a content repository and Web content management features. Leveraging Alfresco's APIs, Elixir's development team was able to easily integrate document management functionality into the newly architected Tango offering and allow all types of content to be utilized across any client communication — paper or electronic.
Elixir used its own development team to do the integration without the need to hire additional experts or rely heavily on the Alfresco support team. Because Alfresco used open standards, Java and XML, the Elixir developers could use existing skillsets. Elixir estimates it took only a few months to integrate Alfresco into Tango and begin layering its own technology on top of it.
With Alfresco seamlessly embedded in Tango, Elixir can offer its customers tight controls on content and versioning for tracking the availability and use of any discrete content element. All content stored in Tango is maintained in an Alfresco repository, thus making it easy to access, manage, and account for.
By using a Web-based architecture and adding in document management capabilities, Elixir is able to offer Tango as individual components rather than a 'one size fits all' package. Design, content creation, data management, and logic creation is presented in a separate interface allowing companies to divide the work efficiently and license exactly what they need.
Elixir released Tango in March 2011 with strong industry and customer support. Tango is the only solution in its client communication market to offer fully integrated content management functionality and be entirely Web-based. Tango has achieved zero footprint on the client system by extending the user interface in the browser while also reducing the overall costs related to the hardware and software required for application development, document creation, data management, and all other tasks related to the development of high-value client communications. Tango has replaced Elixir's well established client-server software solutions offering the same functionally via a web interface.
With integrated document management functionality, customers are able to design and create new documents faster, route them to production more easily, and distribute using email, the web, as well as print. Using the advanced workflows provided by Alfresco, customers have more control over process and can ensure that each communication meets company policies or external regulations.
For example, insurance organizations using Tango can ensure that specific clauses are included in any client communications with the confidence that each element on the document is the proper version.
Tango has also opened up new market opportunities for Elixir. Traditionally Elixir had sold its products to document services and technical departments. Tango offers a broader enterprise solution that is valuable to line-of-business managers including those from marketing, legal, production, and IT departments. Elixir also provides customized vertical solutions for healthcare, government, finance, education, retail, and others.
With the help of Alfresco, Elixir now supports and connects every activity and business process in the document workflow including print, web publishing, and archival while still servicing thousands of original customers using legacy print systems. Customers can now access Tango and develop or publish content anytime, anywhere, and to any channel.

Sohu, Changyou Plunge On Weak 4Q Profit Projections
It's a bad day to be a Chinese internet stock.
Chinese web portal Sohu.com (SOHU) and its parent company Changyou.com (CYOU) both issued fourth-quarter profit projections that fell short of expectations, deflating prices for both U.S.-listed American depositary receipts at a double-digit pace.
And they took other Chinese internet stocks along for the ride.
Sohu fell $12.26, or 15% to $69.16, while Changyou.com fell even harder, dropping $6.76, or nearly 19% to roughly $29.
Elsewhere, E-Commerce China Dangdang (DANG) fell 69 cents, or 7.2% to $8.80. Baidu (BIDU) fell $4.30, or 2.7% to $155.09. Qihoo 360 Technology (QIHU) fell $2.32, or 2.7% to $82.42.
Ctrip.com International (CTRP), however, bucked the trend, rising 32 cents, or 0.6% to $56.
Early Monday, Sohu said it expects a per-share loss excluding items in the current quarter of 30 cents to 35 cents. Analysts had been modeling a 48-cent per-share profit, according to Thomson Reuters. Changyou, meanwhile, said it expects EPS ex items of 34 cents to 41 cents, but analysts had been modeling $1.39.
The disappontment stemmed from Changyou's plans to spend heavily to license and market new games, which will cut into earnings this quarter.
For the recently ended third quarter, Sohu said revenue rose 29% to $368.3 million, beating the $364.7 million expected by analysts. The company swung to a per share loss of $1.69 from a profit of 63 cents last year, caused by a one-time dividend paid last month by China search engine Sogou — in which Sohu owns a controlling stake.
Changyou posted third-quarter revenue of $183.1 million, which just missed views of $183.4 million. Per-share profit met expectations at $1.36, down 3.5%.

Serve a batch of fun kid-friendly beverages at your little one's next birthday party or poolside gathering.
Strawberry-Raspberry SodaServe strawberry shortcake in a glass. Layer strawberry-sour cream ice cream with fresh strawberries, then add a sugar mix and club soda (for fun fizzies). Keep spoons handy to catch syrupy drips.
Blueberry-Coconut SlushFrozen blueberries sneak essential nutrients into this delicious, gulp-worthy slush that your kids will love.
Hot Fudge Sundae ShakeFill their glasses with everything that makes a sundae so delicious: vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, caramel syrup, whipped cream, brownies, and cherries.
Lemon Soda FloatTry a twist on the traditional Coke or root beer float by combining lemon soda, such as San Pellegrino Limonata or Newman's Own Sparkling Lemonade, with creamy vanilla ice cream.
Classic LimeadeWith minimal ingredients and fresh lime juice, these coolers are a classic Summer thirst quencher.
Triple Berry FreezeFrozen berries, lemon sorbet, and a little honey make this naturally sweet beverage a favorite with kids. Sparkling water adds a light hint of fizz to the rich drink.
Chocolate FizzThis chocolatey drink mimics popular mocha drinks, but without the shot of espresso. Mix the main ingredients, then let kids chill the concoction with ice in cocktail shakers.
Homemade Orange SodaPump up the flavor of lemon-lime soda with thawed orange juice concentrate. Serve over ice for a fizzy beverage packed with citrus tang.
Téo's PunchServe this punch when you're having a neighborhood gathering. Kids love the sweet and tart combo of juices, and it easily upgrades to an adults-only beverage for parents by adding a hit of rum.
Pink LemonadeThe pink in this pink lemonade comes from fresh raspberries, and if you're feeling extra fancy, you can always drop a few of them into the glasses as a garnish.
White Grape-and-Orange CoolerWhite grape juice has always been a kid-friendly favorite. Make their dinner beverage special by adding orange juice, ginger ale, and a little sugar. Garnish with citrus slices to dress it up.
Banana-Peach ShakeFresh peaches, bananas, milk, and frozen yogurt make this smooth, creamy, fruity shake a summertime favorite for little kids and big kids alike.
Triple Chocolate SlushWhat child wouldn't love this uber-chocolately slush topped with sweet whipped cream? (Except maybe the chocolate-haters.) But moms, don't worry: the ice cuts down this slush's richness, making it lighter than a traditional milk shake.
Lime FizzThis fizzy, lime-flavored drink is the perfect kids' cool-me-down on hot summer afternoons after a day at the ballpark, in the yard, or bking with friends.
Sunshine SmoothieSmoothies are such a fantastic way to sneak fruit into little ones' diets. This one gets its cheerful color from mango, apricots, nectarine, cantaloupe, and lemon yogurt.
Watermelon CoolersPair the sweetness of frozen watermelon cubes with the spicy bite of ginger ale and the tart flavor of limeade for this refreshing, icy sipper.

text: JD,If you look at a 16 day queen calendar, the cells are capped at day 9, the queen emerges at day 16, give or take 12 hours.Most books suggest pulling the queen cells on Day 14, mainly for reason of "candling" or knowing at that time whether the queen is fully developed, and thus not wasting time placing them, or using resources for dud cells.I normally pull mine on day 13, allowing me to have a bit of flexibility with the extra day if I'm really busy. (and once a queen comes out early and kills the rest, you also know why.... ;) )Day 11 is the hump period. This is the day that some suggest it's OK to move a cell, due to the fact that the queen naturally becomes dislodged from the royal jelly plug. Prior to this day, any bumping or jarring will mean a dead queen (or a severely deformed queen) if she is dislodge from the royal jelly.I would certainly wait for day 12 or after, before attempting to cut out and move cells from natural comb. Moving a queen cell from a grafting bar, is much easier than cutting out a cell embedded in wax. As a last resort, usually within 24 hours of the queen emerging, the bees will start removing the wax from the end of the cell. this allows the queen to more easily chew her way out. Not that I'm suggesting you wait to see this, but more for the advice that if you see this happening, get the cells out quick. Otherwise you will have queen wars, and lose what you have worked for.BTW...the above comment about the bees removing wax, along with concerns of a lack of "communications with the cells having bees in contact with the cell, and heat issues, is why I do not "cage" queen cells, especially with the push in type wire cages. You can always capture a few bees under the wire, but I wonder if it's always enough or the right type of bees. With all the ways to raise cells and transfer them into nucs, etc., I find caging queen cells with wire cages to be about the worst option one can choose.

international online community for dna barcoding professionals
Hello all,
I would like to introduce a recently started barcoding project:
FREDIE stands for 'Freshwater Diversity Identification for Europe' and aims to provide an online available identification system for all European freshwater fishes, freshwater molluscs and mayflies.
It is aimed at setting up - and critically testing - a voucher-based DNA barcoding reference system based on freshly collected material, but also on already available material.
To this end, DNA barcoding will be combined with alternative molecular genetic markers and associated morphological characters to develop an intuitive, sustainable platform for everyone to reliable identify the source species of a given DNA sequence.
We are always looking for partners who want to partcipate in this pan-European initiative. Please have a look at www.fredie.eu and contact us if you are interested in a cooperation!

A widowed Englishman working in Denmark and a Danish hairdresser who's been left by her husband forge a fragile romance during a trip to Italy to see their son and daughter get married. Philip (Pierce Brosnan) is a stern businessman who hates living in Denmark, and hasn't seen his son Patrick (Sebastian Jessen) in years. He's in a race to Patrick's wedding in Italy when he has a chance run-in with Ida (Trine Dyrholm) who's recovering from successful chemotherapy treatments when she learns that her husband Leif (Kim Bodnia) has been sleeping with a younger woman. Ida also happens to be the mother of Astrid (Molly Blixt Egelind), Patrick's beautiful bride-to-be. Though initially Philip and Ida appear to have nothing in common, their shared recognition that their children's union may be in trouble before the wedding bells have started to chime leads to an unexpected connection, and a second chance at happiness as they work to set things right.

Saw the new M6s today @ BMW VDC
This morning, the BMW Vehicle Distribution Center in Port Jersey, NJ graciously hosted the March meeting of the NJ Chapter of the BMW CCA.
I do apologize for the lack of photos but I know anyone who has ever taken a factory tour will understand that when BMW says NO CAMERAS OF ANY KIND, they mean it! (The rest of you will just have to take it on faith.
) While this thread is indeed Useless Without Pics, I felt I had to post a public service message for all you potential M6 buyers. It's very brief; just three words:
San Marino Blue.
Oh, my God. There were two new M6 cabrios there, both painted this color. It is the most eye-popping, vibrant, traffic-stopping, electric metallic blue I have ever seen on a production car. Ever. This is a blue that would not look out of place on a Lamborghini--it's not garish at all but it is
It made the Interlagos blue M3 parked across the aisle look like a black hole. Monte Carlo blue pales in comparison. Le Mans is suddenly the conservative choice. If you have seen Deep Sea Blue in full, direct sunlight...San Marino looks a bit like that
With the opening of the NY International Auto Show just two weeks away, practically every car that will be on display was there being prepped for the event. We were also extremely fortunate that a ship docked early this morning: The ship carrying the M6 Coupé to make its North American debut at the NYIAS. Rolled right off the boat and straight into the meeting. (Literally. As in, they weren't certain it was on the ship when the meeting began, and by lunch it was parked 20 feet from the buffet.) How cool is
It's the same orange you see in the wallpapers posted here...I did not quite catch the name but it is not Valencia. It is brighter and richer-looking, as befits the M flagship. While not as jaw-dropping as San Marino Blue (which caught the eye of seemingly half the attendees), it is every bit as gorgeous. It is somewhat less coppery than Valencia, yet nowhere near orange-juice orange either--another spectacular color.
To be honest, half the reason San Marino seemed more dazzling may be simply that there are so many other BMW blues to compare it to, whereas for orange we have... what, three?
Regardless, if these paints and those on the F30 3ers are any indication, it looks like
is finally making a fashion comeback at BMW. Here's hoping!
I will post photos here after the NYIAS opens, if I get any worthwhile (I am badly out of practice, so we'll see...). Judging by the cars on display for us today, this looks to be one of the most varied and impressive fleets BMW has brought to the NY show in years. If you live in or will be visiting the area--don't miss it!
(Once again, a huge thanks to the BMW VDC staff for inviting us and to Flemington BMW for providing lunch!)

With Rent this High and Wages this Low, How Can a Family Survive?
May 29, 2013
By Lavanya Mohan and Elizabeth Lower-Basch
A recent report from the National Low-Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) shows the high costs of housing across the nation – costs that low-wage workers and their families simply cannot afford. Although minimum wage remains at $7.25/hour, NLIHC estimates a full-time worker must earn, on average, $18.79/hour to afford a two-bedroom apartment. In practice, rental costs take up most of a poor family's income, leaving very little left over for other basic monthly necessities, such as food, transportation, and child care.

text: Many of the blacks from Dr. Kings generation saw guns as a necessity. Maybe a necessary evil - but still a necessity. One of my black friends told me his father (who is in his 80's now) saw guns as his only means of survival with the prevalence of the KKK in the 50's and early 60's. He believed he had the right to defend himself, but he had an OBLIGATION to defend his family. He saw men like Sharpton and Jackson as opportunists advancing their own agendas. Another good example of MLK's mindset, was the mindset of Sargent Alvin York. Praise the Lord, and Pass the Ammo!

|Professions Dinner Connects Students and Alumni in Syracuse
|The bond between Ithaca College and its alumni never breaks.
The bond between Ithaca College and its alumni never breaks.
Two years ago, Peter J. Thomson '87 contacted the college for assistance in his job search. He picked up pointers on creating a resume and ideas on networking.
In January, Thomson -- now a relationship manager for KeyBank's Central New York/Rochester district -- met Christopher Didio '84 at a business networking event. Didio -- a senior partner at Dannible & McKee CPAs -- was organizing a Professions Dinner for Ithaca students and alumni in Syracuse.
Would Thomson like to attend? Yes.
It was Thomson's first IC alumni event and "because of the positive experience I took away, I'm committed to doing more," he said.
Thirty people -- 27 students and alumni, and three faculty -- gathered for the informal reception catered by Dinosaur Bar-B-Que at Dannible & McKee's office in Syracuse.
Mike Boch '10 enjoyed walking around, chatting with various alumni, having done research on many of them to gather conversation starters. For those who had played football, he described his own four years playing for the Bombers; he started every game at center last fall. For others, he posed a relevant question based on their background.
Alumni stories were similar to his, Boch said.
"They did not know exactly what they wanted to do when they got out of school, but they all had a general idea," said Boch, who will return to Ithaca next year for the MBA program in professional accountancy. "I asked them questions on how they ended up making a decision, and what important factors did they consider before they made the decision."
The event's age range spanned four decades, from current students to alumni as far back as the class of 1971. The School of Business initiated the event to build stronger alumni relationships and give students the skills and connections to secure internships and jobs. As host, Didio said, the event allowed Dannible & McKee to connect with area alumni and share expertise with students getting ready for the business world. Students were offered tours to see what it's like working for an accounting firm. Didio is one of three alumni there, along with marketing director Jaimee Pishotti '99 and Lauren Sweet '03.
Thomson reflected on how much the job landscape has changed since 1987. He skipped senior week to interview with three companies. One of them hired him; he started working the Wednesday after graduation.
"These days, the competition and availability of jobs is very different," he said. "It will take well-prepared graduates and some strong networking skills to stand out, and having a business degree from IC will greatly enhance their chances to land a job."
Didio explains the value of alumni sharing their experiences with students. The students learn how others overcame obstacles and how they can make connections before they enter the workforce. "This will give them the one-up on other new professionals that are going in blind, not knowing what to expect," he said.
He urges alumni to "get involved and make a difference."
Both Boch and AJ Karbula '10, who also will attend the IC graduate program in accounting, say they've learned how vital networking is in looking for a job.
"I wish that I had gone to one of these sooner and started to build connections with alumni earlier," Karbula said.
Alumni like Didio come away with strong impressions about today's students.
