Henrique Capriles, in full Henrique Capriles Radonski (born July 11, 1972, Caracas, Venezuela), Venezuelan politician who ran as the united opposition presidential candidate against Venezuela's longtime leader Hugo Chávez in 2012 and lost. When Chávez died in March 2013, the opposition again united behind Capriles as its candidate in the special election to replace the late president. Capriles lost that election by a very narrow margin to acting president and Chávez protégé Nicolás Maduro and demanded a full recount, alleging widespread voting irregularities.
Capriles's maternal grandparents were Jewish Holocaust survivors who immigrated to Venezuela from Poland and became wealthy by establishing the country's most prominent chain of movie theatres. His father, whose family had emigrated from the Netherlands to Curaçao and then to Venezuela, was a successful businessman. Capriles, despite his Jewish roots, was raised like his father, as a Roman Catholic. After studying at the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello and Universidad Central de Venezuela, he practiced law, first for Venezuela's internal revenue office and then at two prominent private legal firms. His education also included stints in Europe and the United States.
In his early 20s Capriles became involved in politics, and in 1998, as a member of the Social Christian Party (COPEI), he was elected to the lower house of Venezuela's legislature. At age 26 he was the youngest member ever to join that body, and he rose to become its president before constitutional reform eliminated the lower chamber and made the legislature unicameral. In 2000 he cofounded the centre-right First Justice party and was elected mayor of the municipality of Baruta, part of Greater Caracas. He was reelected in 2004, but he began serving some four months in prison while awaiting the conclusion of his trial, having been accused of violating international law by trespassing into the Cuban embassy compound as part of an attempted coup against Chávez in 2002. Capriles was tried twice (2006 and 2008); both times the charges were dismissed.
In 2008 he surprised many by besting one of Chávez's closest allies, Diosdado Cabello, the incumbent, to be elected governor of Miranda, Venezuela's second most populous state. The national profile of the telegenically handsome, slender, and charismatic Capriles rose dramatically in his new post. Although portrayed by chavistas (adherents to the political system and ideology established by Chávez) as a representative of the country's old wealthy elite, Capriles cast himself as a "centrist" or "centre-leftist" and as a "humanist" who, like his political hero, Brazil's former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was sympathetic to the needs of the business community while also advocating strong social welfare programs.
When the long-divided opposition parties united in support of a single candidate to challenge Chávez in the 2012 presidential election, Capriles decisively won the history-making primary election to choose the candidate for this coalition, the Democratic Unity Table (MUD). Central to the election was the issue of the health of Chávez, whose ongoing battle with cancer had forced him to leave Venezuela several times for treatment but who remained the immensely popular champion of the country's poor even as others accused him of undermining Venezuela's oil-rich economy. Capriles ran a spirited campaign, but, in the end, Chávez, benefiting from a tight hold on the country's media, won the election, taking 55 percent of the vote to 44 percent for Capriles. Nevertheless, while chavistas won 20 of 23 state gubernatorial races in December, Capriles was reelected in Miranda, defeating former vice president Elías Jaua.
When Chávez, recuperating from an operation in Cuba, was unable to return to Venezuela for his scheduled inauguration in January 2013, Capriles was among those who vehemently criticized the open-ended delay of the inauguration that allowed Chávez to hold power despite the unknown state of his health. Upon Chávez's death in March, Capriles announced his intention to run against interim president Nicolás Maduro in the special election to fill the presidency for the remainder of Chávez's term. Although Maduro appeared to have a strong lead in the opinion polls, the vote on April 14 was razor-close: Maduro won by capturing nearly 51 percent of the vote over just more than 49 percent for Capriles, who alleged that there had been widespread voting irregularities and demanded a recount. The National Election Council called for an audit of the ballots in the 46 percent of precincts that had not already been automatically audited under Venezuelan election law. However, Capriles refused to participate when the Council did not comply with his demand that the audit include an examination of the registers containing the fingerprints and signatures of voters. Capriles vowed to mount a legal challenge to the election results.
When that challenge came to nought, Capriles returned to his political power base as the governor of Miranda, but he never left his position at the centre of the national conversation as the leader of the opposition and the principal advocate for its efforts to remove Maduro from office. After the opposition won control of the National Assembly from Maduro's United Socialist Party of Venezuela (Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela; PSUV) in December 2015, Capriles championed the opposition's legislative efforts to free the opponents of the Maduro government who had been imprisoned. He also backed a proposed amendment to the constitution to reduce the term of the president from six to four years. The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional legality of that change but ruled that it could not be applied retroactively to Maduro's current term.
Capriles shifted his focus to the effort to put Maduro to a recall vote. He joined protestors in the streets (and was pepper-sprayed by police) in May 2016 after the election commission was slow to consider and validate a petition with some 1.8 million signatures that would trigger a broader petition that would pave the way to a recall vote. Capriles was vehement in his condemnation of the state of emergency declared by Maduro on May 14, ostensibly in the name of national security, which the president claimed was threatened by right-wing Venezuelans and foreign interests who allegedly were plotting to destabilize the country. The declaration, which was rejected by the National Assembly, granted greater powers to the police and army to control the public and made it easier for Maduro to circumvent the legislature. Saying that Maduro had put himself above the constitution, Capriles challenged the armed forces: "The hour of truth is coming, to decide whether you are with the constitution or with Maduro."

SAN FRANCISCO — Superior Court judges in the city of San Francisco can no longer associate with the Boy Scouts in any way. The new policy alarms many Catholics, who say it opens the door to disallowing judges from participation in churches that teach homosexuality is morally wrong.
Members of the court adopted rules July 11 "prohibiting [the court's] members from activities that may give the appearance of bias based on sexual discrimination." Judges are already banned from associating with groups that discriminate based on race or gender.
According to the policy, the judges are not allowed to be scout-masters, troop leaders or hold a position on any governing board associated with the Boy Scouts or any organization that excludes homosexuals. It was not clear whether any current judges were associated with the Boy Scouts.
At issue is the Scouts' ban on homosexuals that was upheld in 2000 by the U.S. Supreme Court, which said the organization could define its own principles.
San Francisco Bar Association President Angela Bradstreet, a lesbian and a lawyer at a San Francisco law firm, specifically cited the Boy Scouts as the motivating factor in the judges' policy and promised to try to export San Francisco's policy to municipalities around the country.
"We are now approaching other metropolitan bar associations and local courts to ask them to follow the Superior Court's lead to ensure there is both perception and actuality of equality and impartiality in our court system for everyone," Bradstreet said in a statement.
According to Edward White, a lawyer with the Thomas More Center for Law and Justice in Ann Arbor, Mich., bias is exactly what has motivated the policy. "They want judges with a particular ideology," he said.
White said the broad language adopted by the Superior Court could be used to ban anyone belonging to any religion that disavows homosexual behavior. "[This policy could] prevent any candidate who is a member of any orthodox church or the Boy Scouts from serving on the bench," he said.
In addition, such a ban on association should be totally unnecessary, White said, since "judges take an oath to uphold all the laws of the state of California." White said judges normally follow the maxim "By our actions we are impartial," and their association in most groups is immaterial.
"I am amazed that judges would so freely give up their free-association rights," he said.
The Pacific Justice Institute, a nonprofit law firm that specializes in religious liberty and family values cases, has publicly vowed to fight for the rights of judges who do not wish to follow the new policy. It said several judges in other municipalities where the policy is likely to be adopted had already contacted the institute.
Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute, said he is certain the policy will be exported to other California cities.
However, Bradstreet said the new rules will not affect a judge's association with religious groups. She said the policy would only apply to organizations that did not allow homosexuals to participate in any way. Since the Catholic Church allows homosexuals and anyone else to pray in its churches, she said, there would be no effect on Catholic adjudicators.
Legal Groups Disagree
Not all legal groups agree with San Francisco's policy. The Arizona Supreme Court Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee released a report in December 2000 that stated members could engage in activities with the Boy Scouts regardless of their policy toward homosexuals.
Boy Scouts spokesman Greg Shields said the Scouts' policy prohibiting homosexuals stands, and said the Scouts will not allow the San Francisco Bar Association or anyone else to stop their work.
"We hope to continue our mission of building young men of character, and we won't let anything get in the way of our mission," he said.
Shields added that overall, the Scouts are doing very well, with membership increasing over the last year.
"[The negative publicity] has been pretty minor," he said. "We get a lot of support for what we do."
Father Jim Maher served for 10 years as the Boy Scout chaplain for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and is now chaplain emeritus. Father Maher said he sees the San Francisco policy as "overkill."
Like the Thomas More Law Center's White, Father Maher worries the San Francisco policy could grow to exclude anyone who is not politically in line with the bar association.
"That's exactly what's going to happen if this is allowed to continue," Father Maher said.
Father Maher explained that the Scouts' policy on homosexuals is not nearly as radical as Bradstreet claims. He said Catholic scouting troops do allow people with a homosexual orientation to be involved with scouting as long as they are not engaging in homosexual behavior.
"We follow the Catholic Church's teaching on homosexuality," he said, citing the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which states on the topic of homosexuality: "This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them [homosexuals] a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition" (No. 2358).
The Catechism also stresses that homosexuals should be chaste.
It continues: "Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection" (No. 2359).
Still Scouting
Catholic layman Tom Serafin was a Cub Scout and a Boy Scout for more than 10 years. He later served as a scout instructor. Serafin has only good things to say about the scouts and said he believes the policy in San Francisco misses the point.
"The advantages of exposing boys to other cultures and economic brackets far outweigh the sexual politics of San Francisco," he said.
"If I had a son, I would not feel comfortable as a parent allowing him in close proximity, on short or extended camping trips with a male who was a practicing homosexual," he said. "When you are an 8- or 9-year-old Boy Scout, you should not be concerned with sexuality; you should be learning to build character, tie knots and cut logs — that's what the Boy Scouts are all about.
"It's ironic," he continued, "that some people seem to have learned nothing from the recent scandals in the Catholic Church — is it unreasonable to want to protect our children?"
Andrew Walther writes from Los Angeles.

Primal Insitnct: Chris Pratt Shows Off New Buff Bod
It's hard to believe it, but Parks & Recreation star Chris Pratt may just have one of the best bodies in Hollywood. We need more evidence before we hand out the award, but the hunky actor is easily well on his way according to a "douchey" picture his "brother made" him Instagram.

In groundwork for th quota, Pratt had to put hellos hull toward a superhero analogous regiment besides the product, a group honorable of the Phenomenon Cosmos. Pratt recently uploaded a photo on Instagram showing hellos strengths.
It is really hard to believe the Parks & Recreation star Chris Pratt has the best body in Hollywood,. I wonder how he managed to make one because in his last movie, his movie really sulked to the core. Let him be an inspiration for everyone.
Holy smokes, Andy got HAWT!!! Seriously, I've followed Chris Pratt from "Everwood" (not gay porn, just a CW show) to "The OC" (where he played Rachel Bilson's stupid enviro-boyfriend in the final season) to "P&R." So, I've seen him go from normal to chunky to his current super-awesomeness.
Nope, if I had a bod like that, I'd be Instagramming it like crazy! Douchey? Not in my book!

WEST POINT - Four players reached double figures, including senior Jen Hazlett, who totaled 19 points, to send the second-seeded Army women's basketball team past No. 3 American, 68-55, in the Patriot League Tournament Semifinals on Monday evening at Christl Arena.
The Black Knights will advance to the Patriot League Championship on Saturday for the fourth time, and for the first since 2006, when they captured their only conference title. Army improves to 24-7 after the victory, to match its highest win total in Division I history. The Eagles drop to 22-10 following the setback.
Hazlett added 10 rebounds to notch her seventh double-double of the season, and second in as many games, while the Black Knights also received double-digit scoring efforts from sophomores Kelsey Minato (14) and Brianna Johnson (11) and junior Olivia Schretzman, who posted 10 points and five boards. Sophomore Jean Parker went 3-of-6 from deep to finish with nine points off the bench, while classmate Aimee Oertner tallied four points and five rebounds.
Junior Jen Dumiak and sophomore Michelle Holmes each finished with 12 points for American, while senior Alexis Dobbs added 11. Senior Sarah Kiely contributed 10 points off the bench, and junior Arron Zimmerman scored five points and grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds.
The Black Knights opened the contest shooting 8-of-16 from the field to control a 19-8 advantage 8:14 into the first half. Hazlett accounted for nine of those points while going 4-of-6 from the floor during the stretch. The Eagles scored 10 of the next 14 points to pull back to within five before Parker buried a three-pointer at the 4:53 mark to spark a 7-0 Army run that put the hosts up 12 with 2:31 left in the period. American closed the half on a 6-0 run, including a 4-of-4 showing from the foul line in the last 45 seconds.
Army came storming out of the gate to begin the second stanza, extending its lead to 41-28 after an 11-4 run during which four Black Knights scored. Minato chipped in four points during the stretch while Army missed just twice, shooting 6-for-8 from the floor. American responded with a 22-7 run during a 5:16 span that brought the Eagles back to within a pair. The visitors scored seven of those 22 points after Minato was sidelined due to foul trouble at the 7:01 mark.
Army didn't let American pull any closer, as Hazlett knocked in a three-pointer with 5:16 remaining, and Johnson buried a shot from long range as the shot clock expired on the Black Knights' next possession to put the hosts up, 56-48. The Eagles scored three of the game's next five points to cut their deficit to seven with 2:43 left before Hazlett recorded a key offensive rebound to extend Army's possession to below the two-minute mark. Parker netted her third triple of the contest with 1:44 remaining to again put the hosts up by 10. American briefly shrunk the deficit to single digits after Dobbs converted a pair of free-throws at the 1:13 mark, but the Black Knights closed the game with 7-2 run that included a combined seven free-throws by four different players.
Army will return to Christl Arena for the final time this season on Saturday, March 15, when it hosts fifth-seeded Holy Cross in the Patriot League Championship. The contest is scheduled for a 6 p.m. start time and will air nationally.

Dear BlackBerry Team,
I experience certain difficulties with configuration of sorting criterion for contact list. It seems to me there is a two instances of contact list view/module in the system.
First is launched from main menu icon located in the top left corner of the screen. There I may configure the contact list to be shown using "surname" as a sorting field. Here I got the expected order.
The second view is lauched from the bottom located bar with three icons: handset, loup and a camera. If I press a handset icon then I got new view where I have different bottom bar with icons: calls, contacts and dialing panel. If I go to contacts then I have the contact list sorted only by name. It is impossible to configure that sorting by surname or any other key.
It would be desired if there might be an opportunity to use the setting for the sorting in the second view that is already used for the first view. I am using Z10 build OS ver 10.1.0.4633, software ver 10.1.0.4181.
Thanks for your attention to my report
Yours faithfully
yeah, I encountered same issue
I detected that this problem was fixed in the last update. Since installing the update I have not rebooted my phone. But after I rebooted it few days ago I found out that now in the second view the sorting is organised by surname. Seems that the sorting criterion is loaded on the boot stage and does not read dynamically after it is configured for the first view.

This is my first attempt at an AMV. While most AMVs are created by editing video to the music, I created this video by scoring music to a pre-editing sequence. The scene you will see is the final battle of the Cowboy Bebop TV series. The only video edits that were made were to remove some areas that consisted of a lot of dialog. Otherwise the flow of events follows in its original order as shown in the final episode.
The song is called End of the Line and it's mostly an instrumental tune with some synced sound effects. The music was created and edited in Ableton Live using a ton of different samples from multiple software packages as well as host of hardware.
I learned quite a bit making this video including some things I would like to do the next time I try something like this. Syncing video to a steady tempo is kind of difficult and it doesn't exactly work in all places. On my next video I would like to somehow edit the scenes to at least the tempo of the song being written. Either way, though, I'm fairly satisfied with the end product and I hope you enjoy what I created.

Children who grow up on fast food arelikely to develop a lower IQ than those who regularly take freshly-cooked meals, a new study has found.
Researchers found that childhood nutrition has long lasting effects on IQ, even after previous intelligence, wealth and social status are taken into account.
The study examined whether the type of main meal that children ate each day had an impact on their cognitive ability and growth, the Daily Mail reported.
It looked at 4,000 Scottish children aged three to five years old and compared fast food with freshly-cooked food.
Researchers at Goldsmiths, University of London, also found that parents with a higher socio-economic status reported that they gave their children meals prepared with fresh ingredients more often, which positively affected their IQ.
Lower socio-economic status was linked to more children having fast food, which led to lower intelligence, they said.

Goldie Hawn might be one of the most youthful 67-year-olds on the planet! Her personality is bubbly, her body is rockin' and her head-to-toe style rivals most women half her age. So, what's her secret? A good diet and solid exercise routine are part of her age-defying plan, she reveals to Prevention magazine. "I do try to do some form of exercise 4 days a week. At home in California, I'll bike up the mountain. Or I'll do Pilates or Spin. And I do eat a lot of greens. I eat healthy, but I'm not a vegetarian."
Goldie, who opens up in the 2012 Winter issue of Prevention, reveals the biggest key to her youthful vibe is a healthy inner life. "It's not the idea of a particular religion that's important; it's the development of a spiritual life. Because spirituality creates well-being, health, and happiness."

A daily meditation practice helps Goldie settle her mind and be more peaceful with life. "You'll see the benefits of meditation aren't just in your head. They're as physiological as the benefits of exercise on your muscles." The actress has been practicing meditation since the 70s, and for the last 10 years has put her acting on the back burner to help bring meditation into the classroom. She started up with MindUp program, which teaches kids how to reduce stress and anxiety through mindfulness. "I just had such a need to concentrate on this one thing, on the foundation and on helping kids become better able to focus and organize their brains, to help them toward happiness."
Goldie recommends everyone no matter their age should meditate and it doesn't have to be intimidating. Research shows that meditating for 3 minutes 5 times a day is as beneficial as doing it in a single 20-minute block. "Think of meditation not as something woo-woo but as an everyday task, like brushing your teeth. It's all about habituation," Goldie reveals to Prevention.

Calif. city sues MLB over A's proposed move
SAN FRANCISCO — Major League Baseball is dragging its feet on having team owners vote on the Oakland Athletics' proposed move to a new ballpark 40 miles south in San Jose, San Jose city officials said in a lawsuit filed Tuesday.
The lawsuit — filed in federal court in San Jose — is disputing MLB's exemption from federal antitrust law, which MLB has used as a "guise" to control the location of teams, according to the suit.
"It's time for someone to take on this supposed baseball exemption from antitrust laws," said attorney Phil Gregory of Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, the law firm representing the city. "The City of San Jose is a perfect candidate to make that challenge."
The San Francisco Giants have objected to the A's potential move on grounds they relied on territorial rights to the San Jose-area market when they built their ballpark, AT&T Park.
The A's say those rights were only meant to support the Giants' failed efforts in the early 1990s to build a San Jose-area ballpark themselves.
The lawsuit contends that such territorial rights, regardless of the team, reduce competition and harm consumers.
Giants spokeswoman Staci Slaughter declined to comment.
MLB Commissioner Bud Selig appointed a committee more than four years ago to study the A's potential move.
He rejected a proposal earlier this year from San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed to sit down and talk about the A's plans and said Reed's reference to additional litigation at the time was "neither productive nor consistent with process that the Athletics have initiated under our rules."
Rob Manfred, an MLB executive vice president, said in a statement Tuesday that "Major League Baseball has acted in the best interests of our fans, our communities and the league" when considering the issues related to the Athletics.
"The lawsuit is an unfounded attack on the fundamental structures of a professional sports league," Manfred said. "It is regrettable that the city has resorted to litigation that has no basis in law or in fact."
Wolff, the A's owner, released a brief statement. Gregory said he is not involved in the lawsuit.
"I have no details," Wolff said. "However, I am not in favor of legal action or legal threats to solve business issues."
Wolff has said he is focused on a new stadium in San Jose rather than a move outside the Bay area. Wolff is allowed to consider other sites within the A's territory — such as downtown Oakland — but approval from MLB would be needed for a move outside the territory.
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said during a quick briefing Tuesday that she's confident that the A's will remain in Oakland.
"We're ready to negotiate any time the A's want to come to the table," Quan said. "I've been saying to Lew Wolff we're ready to go. So, let's play ball."
She said Oakland is focused on building a new stadium in town and has two sites under consideration, including one along the waterfront and another where the A's currently play.
The A's current ballpark is run down. A sewage problem forced the A's and Seattle Mariners to use the same locker room after Sunday's game.
The pipes backed up on the lower levels of the stadium, creating a stink of raw sewage and pools of water in the clubhouses used by both teams and the umpires.
Baseball's antitrust exemption was granted by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1922, with the court ruling that baseball is not interstate commerce.
The lawsuit contends that while baseball may have started as a local affair, it is "squarely in the realm of interstate commerce."
"MLB clubs ply their wares nationwide, games are broadcast throughout the country on satellite TV and radio, as well as cable channels and MLB clubs have fan bases that span from coast to coast," the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit alleges San Jose's failure to obtain the stadium would result in a loss of $1.8 billion in direct spending over 30 years. It calls on the court to find MLB in violation of antitrust laws and to prevent it from blocking the A's move. It also seeks damages.
Associated Press Writers Terry Collins in Oakland and Mihir Zaveri in San Francisco contributed to this report.

Born blind to the family of the Duke of Alsace Lord Aldaric (aka Etichon, aka Athich) and Bereswinda; because she was a girl and disabled, the family decided to put her out. Rather that having her killed, she was given to a peasant family. Taken in by a convent at age twelve, she gained her sight upon being touched by chrism during her baptism by Saint Erhard of Regensburg. Her brother wanted her back for use in an arranged marriage; when he heard of his son's machinations and Odilia's miraculous healing, her father was so angry that he struck and killed the brother. Odilia raised her brother back to life, then fled to the convent to escape the marriage. Her father followed her, but when a mountain opened a cave to hide her, and then dropped rocks on him, he gave up the idea. She joined the abbey, and eventually became abbess. Founded the Hohenburg Abbey on the Odilienberg mountain in Alsace.

by Kevin Snow / Buffalo Sabres"I'm not too nervous," says Weber about getting back in the lineup. "I did play 58 of them last year. I'm just excited to get going and start my season."
Weber had 17 points (4+13) in 58 games for the Sabres in 2010-11, and led the team in hits with 158. He skated almost 17 minutes a game, and finished second on the team with a plus-13 rating. Weber's minutes increased as the season wore on, including a three-game stretch in late March when he averaged almost 24 minutes a night.
This all came after he sat out Buffalo's first nine games of last season. Having gone through it before, Weber said it helped him deal with being in the press box for the first 10 games of this season.
"It didn't kill me. It's kind of a character builder when you sit out, mentally and physically. Having to do all the extra work, and mentally dealing with being out of the lineup. I think it's made me a stronger person, and a stronger player. I want to take full advantage of it."
Weber |
"The bottom line is I need him to play, before he gets so frustrated that we lose him," said Ruff. "And that's the bottom line. He's worked hard. A player gets to a point where you have to get him in.
"He was an important part of our team (last year). He played good minutes, and he played hard. They've got some players we'd like to play hard against, so this game is a good fit for him."
Ryan Miller is expected to get the start in net for Buffalo. Tyler Ennis remains out week-to-week with an ankle sprain, and Jochen Hecht is out indefinitely with post-concussion symptoms .... The Flyers will be without former Sabre Danny Briere who is nursing an upper body injury. Chris Pronger (eye) and Matt Read (upper body) are also on the mend for Philadelphia.

NUDES on a personal level
By Orlando Emmanuelli
17 Feb 2012
Nudes 101
Three weeks ago, i had the opportunity to do a nude shoot, for personal work. I had been putting it off, looking for senseless excuses and in part some laziness towards my own work. I have been very quick to say yes to photo shoots of all kinds these past several months, but my own stuff? Sigh.
With a little nudge from one of my friends, who is also an excellent photographer, we setup for this shoot. Yes, i needed some coaxing. The funny thing is i have no aversion or issues with nudity in art, being around models or the like. To date, i am not very clear why it took that much to get to do it.
Once at the studio, we met with the model, fairly well known in the meetup.com and through model mayhem, MOON MARIE, was just great. She has such confidence, charm and great charisma to drive the shoot direction on her own, however, we were there for our own work so she took some direction from us. We observed also how she responded to other photographers and how well her image had displayed in previous shoots she had been on. With that in mind and some ideas in mind i went over some poses and created some lighting conditions that represented the ideas i had in mind. While the subject of female nudes has been more than perused, perhaps exploited through out time, i was happy to come away with some beautiful shots.
I am looking forward to setting up another shoot to grab some images. My view of the nude is very particular to me. I cant say it is unique, but at least for me its very personal way of communication. While it has been presented boldly, offensively and loudly, it can also be presented very stylish and elaborate. I feel that i however want to create an intimate or delicate representation, not just of the female form, as i would also shoot male models (even though i prefer the female), but of the human body. While bearing your skin is in no way a sign of weakness, i like to show our form in some honest way. For me its not about how the body translates its relationship with clothes, items or fabrics, but how it translates against light. How does the light caresses the skin showing some of its imperfections as well as its smoothness. How does it carefully shape up the form of the body, of each feature that makes us who we are as physical beings and perhaps in the process put some intimacy in the image. Intimacy of the human being kind, not in a lusty way, but in a personal way. It may be tough to create those things with an experienced model, but at times, between poses, you get to see those glimpses that make those particular shots unique and less generic.
I have to definitely thank MOON MARIE for her work, for being so good in front of the lens and for letting me capture a hint of her beauty as a person and as a model. Here are some shots of the many jewels i got away with.

Lipscomb's offense was unable to get any good looks against a stout Musketeer defense, mustering a mere seven shots and not putting a single shot on net.
Xavier (2-0-0) peppered the Lipscomb (0-4-0) goal early on, accumulating seven corner kicks and six shots in the opening 45 minutes. Lipscomb keeper Brent McGee made three first-half saves, robbing Xavier's Nick Hagglund of a goal via header on two different occasions.
Lipscomb freshman Zander El-Hindi did what he could to get Lipscomb on the board early, firing one shot wide and heading another high in the opening half. He would be the only Bison to get multiple shots off against the Musketeers.
Fortunately for the Bison, Xavier was unable to get anything going in the first half, and the game went to halftime tied, 0-0.
McGee was stellar in net, stopping five of six shots on the evening. The lone goal McGee did allow was a 15-yard laser from Xavier's Luke Spencer in the 56th minute, who fired one from the left side and deflected off a Lipscomb player and past McGee for the goal.
The game was a physical one, with Lipscomb's Kevin Barbar and Matt Shanklin and Xavier's Matt Walker earning cautions from the referee.
The Lipscomb defense kept the Musketeers at bay for much of the evening, earning particularly good play from junior Ben Gates and freshman Robbie Johnson.
In just their second games back following injury, sophomores Nick Bibb (56 minutes) and Kevin Barbar (32 minutes) provided quality minutes. Look for both to make a return to the starting line-up in the squad's next few outings.
The Bison look to rebound next weekend at the Belmont Tournament. Lipscomb will face VMI, Friday, at 3:30 p.m. and returning Sunday to play Georgia Southern at 12:05 p.m. Both games will be played at Belmont's E.S. Rose Park.

When Dr. DeGioia took office, was he, at 44, Georgetown's youngest president?
No. After some time spent with reference books and a calculator, I believe that our youngest president was our third, William Louis DuBourg, S.S., who was appointed in 1796 at the age of 30. It is also DuBourg whom we have to thank for establishing the University Library with a gift of 100 volumes from his private library. Of our 47 presidents to date, 22 have been 44 or younger when they assumed office.

Hay there,
I have really sensitive hearing (or maybe I am just really paranoid), and a bit of ttinnitus. About 4 years ago I noticed that some sounds that were normal to other people, were really loud to me. This would mostly include music. When I was in a car and someone would play some music, it was just really loud and painful to me.
So since I never really thought about this question, what is a safe volume level for me to listen to music at? I am not really a hardcore audiophile, but I have an Asus Xonar STX, and I pair of HD555's. I don't have an SPL meter to read, but I listen to music at 4% volume.
Is this safe? Thanks!

Make Interfaces Easy to Use Correctly and Hard to Use Incorrectly
From WikiContent
One of the most common tasks undertaken during software development is interface specification. Interfaces occur at the highest level of abstraction (user interfaces), at the lowest (function interfaces), and at numerous levels in between (class interfaces, library interfaces, package interfaces, etc.). Regardless of whether you're working with end users to specify how they'll interact with a system under design, working with other developers to specify an API, or declaring functions private to a class you're working on, interface design will be an important part of your job. If you do it well, the resulting interfaces will be a pleasure to use and will actually boost productivity. If you do it poorly, your interfaces will be a constant source of frustration and errors.
Good interfaces have two crucial characteristics:
- They're easy to use correctly. People using a well-designed interface almost always use the interface correctly, because that's the path of least resistance. In a GUI, they almost always click on the right icon, button, or menu entry, because it's the most obvious and easy thing to do. In an API, they almost always pass the correct parameters with the correct types and values, because, again, it's the most obvious and easy thing to do. With interfaces that are easy to use correctly, things just work.
- They're hard to use incorrectly. Good interfaces are designed to anticipate the kinds of mistakes people might make and to make them difficult -- ideally impossible -- to commit. A GUI might disable or remove commands that make no sense in the current context, for example, and an API might allow parameters to be passed in any order to eliminate "parameters passed out of order" problems.
One of the best ways to design interfaces that are easy to use correctly is to exercise them before they exist. That is, mock up a GUI -- possibly on a whiteboard or using index cards on a table -- and play with it before any of the underlying code has been created. Write calls to an API before any of the functions have been declared. Walk through various common use cases and specify how you want the interface to behave. What do you want to be able to click on? What do you want to be able to pass? Easy to use interfaces seem natural, because they let you -- they encourage you -- to do what you want to do. You're more likely to come up with such interfaces if, from the get-go, you develop them from the user's point of view. (Such a point of view is one of the strengths of test-first development.)
Making interfaces that are hard to use incorrectly requires two things. First, you must anticipate errors that users might inadvertently make, and you must find ways for the interface to prevent such errors. Second, you must observe how the interface is misused during early usage, and you must be willing to modify the interface -- yes, modify the interface! -- to prevent such errors before you deploy the interface further.

Can the Clippers get what they need?
March 6th, 2012, 8:00 am by DAN WOIKE, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTERA team with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Chauncey Billups, Kenyon Martin, Caron Butler, DeAndre Jordan, Randy Foye and Mo Williams would be one of the favorites to win the Western Conference and compete for the NBA title.
But when Billups went down with a ruptured Achilles tendon, the chances of seeing that team play a single game together -- never mind one deep in the playoffs -- vanished. Since then, the Clippers are a .500 team. Seven times they've won; seven times they've lost.
The Clippers have been close in those seven losses, losing by double figures just once. In the other six losses, the Clippers have lost by a total of 25 points. Those were games the team could have won if a few things went their way.
But that's the good news.

Grow An Avocado Tree!
There's nothing more fun than growing your own Avocado Tree!
"How do I do it?"
Open the avocado and remove the pit from the center. You can eat the fruit of the avocado, it's yummy and is full of nutrients!*
Wash the avocado pit under cool running water, you don't need soap to clean it. With your fingers gently wipe away and remove any of the green fruit that might be on the pit. Rinse it well and then blot it dry with a paper towel.
Carefully push three toothpicks into the thickest width of avocado, you want to push the toothpicks into the pit about a 1/2" deep. (It's okay if you push them in deeper or even a little less) The toothpicks will help suspend the avocado pit in water and keep the top part of the pit in fresh air and the fat base of the pit under the surface of the water. Be careful pushing in the toothpicks, they have pointy edges and could hurt if they poke your hands, it's all right to ask a grown-up to help with this.
Suspend the pit over a glass filled with water....the toothpicks will rest on the rim of the glass and hold the pit in place so it doesn't sink to the bottom. Always check the water level in the glass and see that the water is covering the fat base of the pit by about an inch depth. If the water is below that level you'll need to add some more. Slowly and carefully pour in more water from a small cup to avoid splashing.
Place the glass in a bright windowsill. In about three to six weeks the top of the avocado pit will begin to split and a stem sprout will emerge from the top and roots will begin to grow at the base.
When the stem grows to about five or six inches pinch out the top set of leaves. In another two or three weeks new leaves will sprout and their will be more roots.
It's now time to plant the young avocado tree. Place enriched potting soil in a large flowerpot (maybe 8" to 10" across). Fill the soil to about an inch from the top of the pot. Make a small depression in the center of the soil and place the pit, root-side down into the depression. Don't put it too deep...you want to have the upper half of the pit above the soil line. Add some more soil around the pit to fill in any air holes by the roots and then firm it into the soil by gently pushing the soil around the base of the pit. The tree's stem and leaves should be straight and pointing up (like a flagpole).
Give the soil a drink to water the pit. Water it generously so that the soil is thoroughly moist. Water the soil slowly and gently so that when it's poured in it doesn't gouge out holes in the soil. Keep your tree watered but don't let the soil be so moist that it ever looks like mud.
How do I care for my avocado tree?"
Keep your tree in a sunny window, the more sun it gets the bigger it will grow.
Remember to give it frequent light waterings but don't let the soil get muddy. If the leaves turn yellow it means that the plant is getting too much watering, let the tree's soil dry out for a couple of days, then return to light waterings.

When the stem grows six more inches pinch out the top two sets of leaves. This will encourage the plant to grow side shoots and more leaves, making it bushy. Each time the plant grows another six inches pinch out the two newest sets of leaves on top.
"Can my avocado tree ever go outside?"
Yes it can go outside in the summer. If your winters are cold ~ below 45 degrees (F) or 7 degrees (C) ~ you must bring your tree inside for the winter. Otherwise, if your winters are cool and mild, the tree may stay outdoors year round.
"Will my tree ever grow fruit?"
Sometimes they will begin setting fruit after they are three or four years old. It helps to have several avocado trees growing together to aid with pollination.
"How tall will my avocado tree grow?" An avocado tree is a medium to large tall tree. It can grow between 20 and 40 feet tall. With pruning it can be kept at a much shorter height.
*Avocado Nutrition Facts*
Avocados contain just 5 grams of fat per serving.
Avocados contain NO cholesterol and NO sodium.
Avocados contain 60% more potassium per ounce than bananas!
Avocados are high in fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium and folate.
Enjoy sprouting your avocado pit and growing your tree!

Thankfully the paddle/oar looks straighter in the final thing, but the stem itself is about a millimetre thick so it's still quite wobbly. |
Here are the two finished characters. I made them complete, as I wanted to 'sit' them in the kayak properly. They are each about 25mm high. |
You can actually take the fella out of the boat, though the lady's hand is unfortunately glued to the 'water' |
I had to wait until they were placed in the kayak before I could do their pupils. |
Had to make sure they were looking in the right direction, him at her and her at the water. |
You can see a little bit of the 'pocket' form of the kayak here. |
I think this shows best the depth of the piece. Though I imagine it's gonna be a bit of a paint to frame or hang at the right angle hah... |

After assisting in helping Voyager return to the Alpha Quadrant, Starfleet splits the Hazard Team up among different assignments.
Two years later in 2380, Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Enterprise-E is the first to see the use for a Hazard Team, and transfers Munro and many of the old members of the team to the Enterprise.
Mission 1 - "Endgame"Edit
The first level follows the sequence of events of the Star Trek: Voyager episode Endgame. Voyager, having entered the Borg transwarp network, is in a route to Earth at unimaginable speeds, but has been caught by a Borg sphere and trapped inside. It is up to the Hazard Team, led by Lt. Munro, with Chell, Chang, and Telsia to beam into the sphere and utilize every bit of knowledge about the Borg to free the vessel before it is assimilated. When the team first beams on the sphere, they are separated, leaving Munro only with Chang. After quickly finding Chell behind a forcefield, the team of three engage in a small battle with several Borg drones. Chang is captured, preparing to be assimilated. Additionally, the I-MOD, the only weapon the Borg cannot adapt to, is taken offline by a dampener. Fortunately, Munro finds Chang and orders him beamed back to Voyager. After continuing through the sphere with Chell, Telsia is found, and they all proceed to restore their I-MODs and get Voyager out of the dampener field. When they succeed, Munro orders all three of them to beam out. However, Munro is sent back to the Borg Central Plexus. After defeating a newer, larger, and technologically improved Borg drone, Munro is sent back to Voyager. Voyager is then seen escaping back to the Alpha Quadrant.
Mission 2 - "Reassignment"Edit
Having returned to the Alpha Quadrant, Munro is assigned by Starfleet to teach at the Academy. Skipping ahead two years to 2380, we see Munro teaching his Klingon student Korban in a holodeck program about defending and escaping a Klingon outpost from Romulans. At the end of the program, they leave the holodeck to see their session had been observed by Captain Jean-Luc Picard. He is interested in the idea of a Hazard Team for the USS Enterprise, and organizes Munro's transfer.
Mission 3 - "Derelict"Edit
Before Munro can settle in on the Enterprise, they receive a distress call from the USS Dallas, an Excelsior class starship in orbit of an Attrexian station. The Attrexians are a race of beings seeking Federation membership. Boarding the vessel in environmental suits, Munro, Chell, Jurot, and a new addition, Franklin, must get the vessel back online and find out what happened to it, as well as being reunited with an old friend - Telsia Murphy, one of Munro's former partners on the Voyager Hazard Team. In this mission, Franklin is killed when being pulled out of a ceiling by an unknown creature.
Mission 4 - "Demise"Edit
Realizing the Dallas was attacked by a creature who can chew through a tritanium hull while responding to a distress call from the Attrexians, Munro and his team are shuttled down to the station to protect the Attrexians and to try and find out more about the creatures. Munro meets a soon-to-be member of the Hazard Team, Jorge Gonzales.
Mission 5 - "Discovery"Edit
Following the ion trail from the creature's impulse drive after being forced out of the station, they find an Idryll planet, a primitive slave race of the Attrexians who believe they existed before the Attrexians. Meeting some Idryll scientists, the Hazard Team find out the creatures, known as Exomorphs, are manufactured from the raw materials in the planet's core as slaves, but have malfunctioned to become 'evil'.
Missions 6 and 7 - "Destruction", "Remove and Disable"Edit
Responding to another distress call from another Attrexian colony, the Enterprise warps in to see an Idryll ship waiting for them. The Hazard Team prepare to beam down, but the Idryll ship opens fire on the Enterprise when the shields were lowered. Picard discovers the Idryll are under Krindo's command - one of the scientists from the Idryll planet (the last level) who is furious that his colleague Kleeya chose to stay on the Enterprise to help stop the Exomorphs and to stay with Lt. Munro. Intruders beam in, and the Hazard Team deploy to fight off Krindo's forces.
Mission 8 - "Search and Rescue"Edit
Finally able to shuttle down to the Attrexian planet, the Hazard team render whatever aid they can. Munro does find a Idyll shuttle, containing Krindo's father, who was said to have saved many Attrexians.
Mission 9 - "Payback"Edit
Tracking Krindo to a nearby planet, and with the Enterprise under repair, the Hazard Team shuttle to the Idryll planet after him. Krindo only stops the attacks when he realizes his father is helping the Attrexians on the planet under attack.
Mission 10 - "Mercenaries"Edit
Krindo confesses he made money to fund his expedition by selling priceless artifacts and secrets of the expedition to a Ferengi. Krindo surmises that the Ferengi decoded the location of the Master Control Facility, which can override all other Exomorph controls. After arranging to meet this Ferengi on an old Starbase, he is captured by the Hazard Team.
Mission 11 - "Incognito"Edit
The Ferengi eventually divulges he sold the location of the Master Control Facility to a group of Romulans calling themselves the Empty Crown. Munro infiltrates the base of the Empty Crown, and discovers the location of the Master Control Facility, at the cost of Gonzales's life.
Mission 12 - "Endgame 2"Edit
The final battle on Tolochon II, in the Romulan Neutral Zone to stop the Empty Crown utilizing the Exomorphs, who destroyed the once powerful Idryll civilization when they gained intelligence.

Other referencesEdit
- Although no stardate is given for the events of the game, the first level takes place when Voyager returned to the Alpha Quadrant in 2377 or 2378. By skipping ahead two years, that would place most of the events in this game in the year 2379 or 2380, which is after or concurrent to the events of Star Trek: Nemesis.
- One of the complaints that received much vocalization[citation needed](who?) after the release of this game was the lack of Next Generation cast members present, compared to the previous game, which had all the members of Voyager's principal cast involved. Because this game could take place after Nemesis, the lack of TNG cast members should be explained as follows:
- William T. Riker and Deanna Troi are serving as Captain and Counselor aboard the USS Titan
- Beverly Crusher has taken an assignment as the head of Starfleet Medical.
- Data was killed aboard the Scimitar.
- In game, Captain Picard explains that Worf is on leave.
- Unfortunately, no explanation is given for Geordi La Forge's absence or Reginald Barclay seemingly serving as the ship's Chief Engineer. Many fans[citation needed](who?) hoped that Brent Spiner would be involved as B-4, but the character was not mentioned in the game as being aboard the Enterprise.
- This is the first appearance of a Denobulan in a Star Trek video game.
- Actor Derek McGrath, who played Chell in the episodes of Star Trek: Voyager and the first Elite Force, is replaced by Andy Milder, who previously played a Bolian engineer in Star Trek: Bridge Commander. Most of the other characters are voiced by the same actors as the first game.
- The game has a Star Wars reference at the old Klingon starbase where a male Andorian and female Klingon are negotiating with a Human smuggler. The Andorian is asking for a large starship to carry two crew members, ten canisters and no questions asked with half latinum paid then and another half later which is paraphrased from the Cantina scene of Star Wars IV: A New Hope when Obi-Wan Kenobi is negotiating with Han Solo for transport.
- There is a reference TNG episode: "Chain of Command", in a scene where two Romulans discuss how long their Starfleet prisoner will last before cracking. One of the Romulans commenting that a Starfleet prisoner was capable of breaking even a Cardassian interrogator.

I am a 43 year old woman who is dating a very wonderful, considerably older man. We're both eligible to marry in the Church, and it's lovely to have found such a person later in life, particularly after each of us has had a rather rough time up to now. His children are grown and my youngest is a teenager. We're falling in love and starting to talk about the future. Trouble is, we're tired. Neither one of us is prepared to think about raising more children. As a faithful Catholic, I know how terrible that sounds. My question is, does this present a barrier to marriage? Is sheer exhaustion and/or time of life a sufficiently grave reason to use NFP? If God gives us children, we will accept them lovingly, no question, but is it wrong for us to use NFP in this situation? We, both of us, are concerned.
Answer by Judie Brown on 9/28/2012: | ||||||||
Dear Anonymous As a non-moral theologian, but as a fellow Catholic it is my considered opinion that
you do have a just reason for using NFP, and you have an outstanding attitude
about it. Judie Brown |

Had his affair been with a man I'm sure he never would have been forced to resign. What BS!!! When should a mans personal life affect his job... perhaps never.
He should not of resigned
Who the hell cares!!! We've had presidents who have done the same thing & not a one ever resigned.His leadership abilities are not in question here,his moral values are.Don't get me wrong,I do not condone his behavior on this issue,that's between him & his maker.Give it a break!!!
Was she a Russian spy or something ?
I am now leaving this group and there will be no intelligent life left here until I return.
i like how a couple a years ago Hillary C declared him General Betrayus.. amazing how all u libs love him now..and he should resign ever hear of the UCMJ oh thats right all u dems think that it is a status symbol to cheat and that is how he will move up the ranks of that worthless party...
The Chief gate keeper of American security decided to maximise his public profile by informing the World in a biography while keeping the Gate of secrecy for the American nation.
No? This must be some black humour.
why is it that days before the head of the CIA is to go in front of Senate Intelligence Committee he resigns?? Claming he had a Afair!! We had a president who had a afair who turned the oval office into the oral office.. The head of CIA should be forced to go to court and let them know what he knew. It is kind of funny the people "resigning" in the near fucture who which could of had known about the plans to over run the libia Consult. It is hard to belieave the people in charge of protection for America can resign and keep there retirement and not do there job and report to what they knew about Libia While we have lost soles, or blood on the hands of thoese in charge of protecting them. Yes David Petraeus should be striped of all medls and retirement funds/ penseion money if found he did not do his job to the up most responsability. It is said he could of saved the lives of thoese lost in Libia.
Sir Walter Scott – "Oh what a tangled web we weave – When first we practice to deceive". This whole thing reeks of cover-up and I wonder if we'll ever know who did the most covering up. My opinion is that there were multiple people from multiple offices/depts covering up and I just find it almost impossible to believe that the President knew NOTHING about this. How on earth can something as big as this – not be reported to the president? It just doesn't make sense.
Armstrong and Petraeus. Two former gods.
Head of the CIA managed to keep a secret, better fire him.

Any Mojo info?
I am looking at buying my first inboard. I am Looking at 2012 Mojo 2.5. I have family with 3 kids 4-11. Want a boat to surf and teach kids to wakeboard. How does Mojo handle chop. Anyone have regrets with Mojo? Any problems? Any info is helpfull on such big purchase.
Thanks in advance!
Any Mojo info?
Awesome boat, but it will need another$800 in ballast to make it surf able.

+3. Get the 345hp motor for surfing

2008 Moomba OBV
It handles fantastic in the chop. We just got ours three weeks ago, moved up from a 2007 Bayliner 185. You can easily run across a choppy lake at ~30 MPH... something I never did in our 'liner.
We've not had the chance to surf yet but the wake is fantastic for wakeboarding.
You'll be amazed at how much room the boat has as well
As Drew mentioned, opt for the 345HP... it's amazing and I'm pretty sure it's bullet proof.2013 Moomba Mojo 2.5

Great boat and you will not regret it!!!
My wife and I were shopping g around for several weeks bouncing between different boat types and manufacturers. (Pontoon, runabout, inboard) with everyone telling us their boars was the best. Friends of ours bought a different type (runabout) and has a difficult time pulling skiers and even getting on plane with full boat. We bought the Mojo 2.5 with the 345 and I have not had a minutes trouble pulling anyone on skis...A couple of us are 250 plus and it will pop us up out of the water.
For a family with kids (dad can I bring little Johnny to the lake with us?) you want the room of the mojo.

I am on the market for an inboard and am new to the inboard seen. I have narrowed it down to a Mondo, Mojo, or a Tige R20. My wife and I really like the space of Mojo, but the only way we are going to be able to get into one is to get a 2013 and she doesn't like any of colors of the 2013's I can find with the 345 in it. I have found one in NC and one in IN with the 345 but as I said she isn't crazy about the color schemes.
I am curious as to how necessary the 345 is. I plan to surf and board behind it, but I enjoy surfing a lot more and am a larger guy.
Also, what is yall's thoughts on the three boats I have narrowed it down too. I know I am looking at two different length categories, but I really like the extra room of the mojo, but like mentioned above have concerns after researching the engine options.
If color os what she is worried about, have one built to your specs. We had ours built and ordered lots of upgrades and have truly been happy with it. There is a ton of space in this boat. The thing is, i likes weight and the stock motor pushes it fine so far. We normally have 7-9 people on the boat and it has no issues to get on plane. Wake- 1100 each side in the rear, center tank full and 2-3 people up front. Thing has a nice shape for wakeboarding and about 1/4-1/2 on the plate.

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
According to the American Diabetes Association, about 1 in every 400-500 children and teens have type 1 diabetes.
Screening is usually only done in people who have symptoms, which may include:
Screening will also be done if you are at high risk for type 1 diabetes, such as:
If you have symptoms of type 1 diabetes or risk factors, report them to your doctor so that you can be tested.
Your doctor may do a blood test to check your blood sugar level. A measurement of 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) [11.1 mmol/L] or higher indicates that you may have diabetes. Further testing will be done to confirm the diagnosis.
The HbA1c test is a good indicator of your average blood sugar levels over the previous 2-4 months. If your HBA1c level is 6.5% or higher, this indicates a diagnosis of diabetes.
People with type 1 diabetes produce autoantibodies that attack and destroy the islet cells that make insulin. Researchers have found that these autoantibodies appear in the blood long before the development of diabetes symptoms. The immune system seems to slowly attack the pancreas. One way that doctors can screen for type 1 diabetes is to measure autoantibodies. But, this test is not routinely done.
