Our current best conceptual understanding of the stressor 'freshwater flow regime' is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Potential causes of a change to freshwater flow regime and the condition responses observed as a result of this change.
Construction of impoundments on many Australian rivers has resulted in altered (and in virtually all cases this means reduced) freshwater inflows to estuaries. This has impacts on estuarine productivity, on fish breeding cycles, on siltation in upper estuary areas, on salinity and on dispersion of pollutants.
The main elements of a freshwater inflow regime are quantity (magnitude), temporal pattern (frequency, duration, timing and rate of change) and quality. As such, any alterations to flow characteristics can be assessed using a range of measures. It is important to consider these different measures as they have different effects on estuaries. Two of the most important characteristics to consider for estuaries are:
There is clear evidence from around the world that alterations to freshwater flow regime affect the geochemical processes, water quality and abiotic habitats of estuaries. The key estuarine physical-chemical conditions that might be affected by altered flow regimes include:
In terms of biological condition changes; migration/dispersal, spawning, growth, survival and recruitment are thought to be the main mechanisms affected.
Interactions between natural and managed flows (additive or subtractive), groundwater recharge and climate (rainfall) patterns are natural mediating factors which influence the impact of an altered freshwater flow regime on the ecosystem.

There are 2 choices to replace Batman and honestly either one would work. If your going younger or older. If your gonna stay with a Bruce Wayne in his late 30's and having done this for years then go get Anson Mount. His angry scowl and look fit the films. (Watch Hell on Wheels before you watch Inhumans though...)
Now if your going younger and if Flashpoint changes Bruce to a younger version of Batman ....then I'd go with Armie Hammer. In fact he was debated once for the role before they decided Bruce Wayne would be older. Hammer is 31 and has like a decade plus of Batman sequels you can do around him.
But whoever it is ...needs a good writer/director involved. Also Wonder Woman as a whole isn't Batman. The whole , well we need to inject more comedy only works on a small scale with a character like Batman. Its why Suicide Squad worked...it had brief comedy added later in reshoots that fit things. But it wasn't Guardians of Galaxy type comedy. You can't make every film fit a certain way.

How The Cozy Business Got Started
Well, see, there was a woman who liked to eat real food and not starve on the trail. She also wanted to give her breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, and dinner a chance to rehydrate to the best of its capabilities. Her name is Sarah Kirkconnell and is a Washington State native, cookbook author, and blogger that spends a lot of time either in the woods or kitchen. She designed and sewed the cozy since the mid 2000's and Dani Hendrickson (that would be me) took over sewing in 2012, when Sarah's life went from full to bursting. Today, I officially am handling the cozy side of the business and plan on using it for the cornerstone for Valhalla Outdoors. Cozies continue to be sewn in the shadow of the Olympic mountains on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.Read Sarah's Cozy Story.
What Do I Do With My Cozy?
Cozies were designed to be used in conjunction with freezer bags. Simply put a quart freezer bag with your meal of choice inside the cozy. Add your water to the bag and stir well. Then seal the bag tightly and close the cozy. Lean the cozy so it is upright and let it sit to rehydrate. The cozy is ultra-light, packable, and crushable in your pack. They will deliver hot meals even in the coldest months.
The cozies work for quart and pint freezer bags as well as smaller commercial freeze dried meals such as PackitGourmet, Mountain House Pro-Paks and Mary Janes meals. These cozies hold quite a bit!
If your cozy is in need of cleaning, hand wash and air dry. Use an iron on low steam setting to remove wrinkles.
Can't I Just Use My Hat?
The disadvantage of using your hat as a cozy is:
1) You can't wear it and use it as a cozy at the same time.
2) Food splatters and food smells. Do you really want to chance mice, or something larger, trying to nibble on your hat with your head in it? I tend to cook away from my sleeping area for this reason and am careful not to wipe my hands on my clothes when preparing food. The likelihood of me using a piece of clothing as a freezer bag holder is nil.
3) Hats aren't reflective, unless it's like the tinfoil one your neighbor wears. The reflective Mylar in the cozy is made to reflect heat or cool to best work with your food temperature.
Wait! Tell Me More!
Constructed of washable and breathable fabric, it retains both heat and cold, depending on what you have in the cozy. The outer fabric is 100% cotton and the liner fabric is a Washington State, USA made poly/Mylar needle punched insulating fabric .
Cozies are 8″ wide and 8 1/2″ long. Weight is on average is 1.1 to 1.4 ounces, depending on outer fabrics weight/thickness. Dimensions and weight are approximate, as these are hand crafted items, sewn one at a time. When you buy a cozy, you are supporting a small, made in the USA, cottage industry business. So, thank you!

This will most likely add to their number of users but will also end up having Netflix cost more. How much more? No idea but it probably will be a sufficient increase because of the constant availability of the website or app, making there servers run at a higher rate. Will we pay for the new service? hell ya we will.

I would like to time this article to the simultaneous release of the second version of my successful and innovative application Word Wizard, and the fact that I have made $200k on the App Store. Next, I have decided to share figures about the education market on the App Store, and by the way to talk a little about my story and experience being the indie developers. I hope it can help some indie developers to make some decisions, as I did more than one year ago after reading some posts. It will also help to understand the size of the education market on iOS.
Actually, I will start with the sales and ranking figures, and then I tell more about my personal experience. I note that all figures are coming from AppFigures.
In the life comes a moment, when anyone who wishes to write programs for the products of Apple company has to learn a new programming language Objective-C.
Here is a banal theory of the object-oriented programming (OOP) appearance
The problem of reusing a written code and its portability make the programmers constantly look for the new ways to organize, structure and abstracting it. In order to solve these problems are created the new programming paradigms, design template tooling, new languages, compilers, standard libraries, software platforms and frameworks. Thus were formed the paradigm of subprograms (procedures) that is implemented by the processor's commands CALL \ RET and the stack (in fact, moving the implementing stream at the address of random rather than following the current command with further return). Then, the paradigm of modules (each file is a separate translation unit) that produced a two-stage translation: compilation of modules and their linking (static or dynamic) in the executable module.
id Software is a well-known company to most people that play such games as Dangerous Dave, Commander Keen, Wolfenstein, Doom, Heretic, HeXen etc. Some time ago, John D. Carmack made some statements at QuakeCon and promised to release the source code for Doom 3, but so far that has not happened.
ZeniMax company that presently is the owner of id Software (as well as Bethesda) has released an update for Doom Classic and Wolfenstein 3D for the iPhone. It added to them support of Retina Display and universality (now they can be played in iPhone and iPad), as well as it fixed some bugs in the updates.
The company offers an access to the current source codes for these games along with this update, so now you can make something of your own based on their development, or you can learn from the best game makers how properly make such games.
Codify is available in the App Store. It is a first code editor for iPad with the native interface and support for the touchscreen. It is very convenient: using a finger press on the object features and a pop-up window will appear with a list of options. Most importantly, the written code can be run any time in order to test the accelerometer and multi-touch. There would be no more problems with emulators!
Codify is built on the base of Lua language that is a simple and smart programming language, and it is well suited to create games for iPad.
Part Two
The first part can be found here.
The software part
iPad application
Overpatching of the application took only a week for the iPad. The main time was spent on rework of the user's interface. Dimensions of screen resolution of the iPad and iPhone are different, so if we have not considered this when designing the interface - we have a problem (especially, if we have numerous screens).
If we lead 1024 without changing the dimensions to 480, then the resulting image will be 480x360, so we get 40 extra pixels vertically. One simple solution is to leave empty space above and below. I do not like this approach. Since I only have had three screens (almost everything is in the vector), I have reworked the source materials for expansion of 1024x768 and has written a utility that moving in 480x320, and cutting (shifting) the specific parts from top, bottom or both sides that I do not need.
I completely rewrote the dialog of posting to Twitter, the old was not designed for the iPad.
Transferring a binary file into universal format took exactly one click. So, select a target "Upgrade this target to ipad".
I used this code below to find out if the iPad is software-based or not:
BOOL isPad ()
# ifdef UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM
return (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM () == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad);
# else
return NO;
# endif
In October 2008, I have found out at an ordinary meeting with two friends that they are involved in the developing of games for the iPhone. At that time I already had almost completed shareware project for the Windows. I was inspired by the desire to port it for the iPhone, I started working in this direction.
Create and adapt the development tools for the Windows platform without the purchasing of Mac device and related the development tools. Mac purchase was postponed until a full understanding of how it works. Almost finished project and tools for it were for the Windows, so I decided to do all for the Windows. I started implementing this idea after I spent a few days searching the internet.

Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. No work of art is going to suit everyone's tastes. What is easier to agree on is the level of skill it takes to produce the work in the first place.
Ukrainian artist Zenyk Palahniuk's work in the video below serves as a fantastic example. No matter how you feel about the finished product, you have to admire the high level of creativity and the phenomenal skills that went into its creation. It took Zenyk about 200 hours to make, utilizing a pencil, a hammer, a ball of twine, and roughly 13,000 nails. Check out his process, sped up in this video for us to admire. It's definitely unlike anything we've ever seen!
Don't forget to SHARE this video with all the artists in your life.

This document is made to help you to make the right decisions when delivering your mixes for mastering. This document contains some practical tips and tricks to make things just a little bit easier for the both of us. Always keep in mind that the better the mix is, the better the master will be.
Delivery of mixes, what to do and what NOT to do
The short version
- Mixed down stereo Wav or AIF files in 24bit or higher. No mp3 or other lossy format.
- Make filenames as short as possible without becoming confusing. 01 Yellow sugar v2.3.wav
- Your mixes should have a decent level without exceeding 0 dBfs (digital clipping)
- Don't use limiters on your master-bus. If you use it to make things louder, remove it!
- Make sure your starts and ends are OK, so no missing attack or reverbtail
- Quality check: after bouncing, always listen to the complete track from beginning till end!
The long version
File format
We prefer 24bit or 32bit float files, 16bit is also acceptable. Print/bounce/render your project in the sample-rate that you worked in. Let's say you did your whole project in 96khz, print in 96khz. If necessary, we will take care of the Sample Rate Conversion (SRC). File formats should be mixed down stereo WAV or AIF.
MP3's or other lossy formats are NOT suitable for mastering. Also saving an mp3 as a WAV file doesn't make it a high resolution file again.
Please make filenames as short as possible without becoming confusing. The most desirable filename is simply the song number, title and mixversion (if applicable).
This is not the way your filenames should look like
Bounce FINAL MIX.wav
Bounce FINAL FINAL mix.wav
Bounce FINAL FINAL mix (really).wav
Bounce FINAL FINAL mix (now for real).wav
Untitled Bounce FINAL Mix (please use this version).wav
Untitled Bounce FINAL Mix (please use this FINALversion).wav
What also happens is this, the mix in 3 versions:
Correct filenames should look something like this:
01 song 1 v1.2.wav
01 song 1 v1.3.wav
01 song 1 v2.0.wav
02 another song v1.1.wav
02 another song v2.1.wav
In case of an (CD) album with ISRC codes, CD text, UPC/barcode etc, please use this excell sheet to give us all the information we need.
Your mixes should have a decent level without reaching or exceeding 0 dBfs (digital clipping). Digital clipping can NOT be undone during mastering. When the damage is done, there is no way back..
Don't be afraid to print your mixes 'not loud enough', in the digital world there is plenty of headroom and it doesn't really matter whether the highest peak is at -1 or -40 dBfs (and please forget about the unwritten -6dB rule). We will take care of the final loudness.
This is what a clipped/limited file looks like. NOT suitable for mastering.
Max peak is at -6dB, it is still limited/clipped and so NOT suitable for mastering.
This is what a proper level mix looks like, no clipping and enough headroom.
Master/Mix Bus processing
A lot of people use masterbus processing nowadays, which could come in handy sometimes to get a rough idea of what the mix sounds like after mastering. But beware that for mastering, masterbus processing is not always the way to go.
When it comes to some buss compression, tape/tube sound or EQ that adds something to the sound, don't worry too much, that could/will be fine. When it comes to limiting/clipping on the masterbus, that is far from fine and it will be really hard or even impossible to make a decent master.
A general rule for processing on the master bus is: if you use it to make things louder, remove it!
If you really like the way the processing sounds on the master bus, we suggest you send those mixdowns together with the un-processed files. They can sometimes be a useful pointer as to your sound preferences.
Starts and ends of your music
Most DAW's let you have 0 seconds offset at the start of a track when printing. This can sometimes lead into the problem that, for instance, the attack of the first bass-drum is missing.
It's best to print/bounce with some silence in front of the track. The same goes for the end of a track. It's better to have some silence at the end, then missing that really important reverb-tail. Starts and ends will be taken care of during mastering.
Send us the files in the bit- and sample-rate you recorded, don't up or down-sample and don't use dithering. Dithering is something that we take care of during/after mastering in the correct way.
Quality Check
After you printed your mixdown with all the tips we just gave you, it's time to double check before sending it out! Do this check by actually LISTENING to the complete mixdown from start to end, preferably on a decent set of headphones. Check for mix/edit mistakes, muted stems, glitches, noise, distortion and everything else. It won't be the first time that after printing there are 'hickups' in the audio or you hear things that only show up after doing the final mixdown. If you are 100% sure that everything is OK it's time to send it to us. But before doing so, make sure you listen to it again..
Don't just print your mix and consider it done.
Realtime is not always the same as offline..
Keep in mind that YOU are the only one responsible for problems in the mixes you send to us. If you found a mistake in your mixdown after the initial mastering we will have to charge you for that.
Master types
In the digital era it's no exception that we deliver 4 or 5 types of masters for one project. The list below will give you an idea of file formats that could be delivered.
- 24bit 96khz hi-res
- 16bit 44.1khz
- Mastered For iTunes (we are a certified MFiT provider)
- Vinyl masters
Please tell us before we start mastering what formats you will need so that we know what to do. Some formats will be free of charge, some other formats we will charge. Check our rates page for more info. If we didn't hear what file formats you want, you will receive masters in 16bit 44.1khz and in the original file-format. For instance if you delivered 24bit 96khz, you will receive a 2496 file next to the 1644 file.
Some things to consider
- Releasing an album? Track-order, pauses, fades etc are really important for the overall flow of an album
- ISRC codes? Get your codes before the mastering takes place
- Think about the fact if you want to participate in the loudness war or not. War is loosing, dynamic is winning.
File naming of delivered masters (digital delivery)
Depending on the types of masters you asked for and what format you delivered the mixes in. Let's presume the delivered mix was in 24bit 96khz and was named 01 Songtitle.wav, the mastered files will be named like this.
|01 Songtitle (mastered 17-4).wav
|(24bit 96khz master, same res as mix)
|01 Songtitle (mastered 17-4) 1644.wav
|(dithered 16bit 44.1khz master)
|01 Songtitle (mastered 17-4) MFiT.wav
|(Mastered For iTunes master in 2496)
|01 Songtitle (mastered 17-4) VINYL.wav
|(vinyl master in 2496)
|01 Songtitle (mastered 17-4) STREAM.wav
|(16bit 44.1khz streaming master, spotify etc)
|01 Songtitle (mastered 17-4) mp3 320kbps.mp3
|(320kbps mp3 from high res master)
The (mastered 17-4) part means that the mastering took place on the 17th of april. In case you ask for a revision which is delivered the day after, the file-name will be 01 Songtitle (mastered 18-4).wav. When I send you a new version the same day, it would be 01 Songtitle (mastered 18-4 v2).wav. So you can always see which is the last version and when the mastering took place.
We have a lot of other helpful information on our FAQ page.
You can download this information as a PDF file using this link.
If you read all info and you are still not sure if what you are doing is the right thing, please contact us and ask. We are here to help you!
With kind regards,

For aficionados of Carroll County's political scene, this election year promises to offer a bit more excitement than usual.
Instead of the usual situation in which a large field of weak challengers runs against entrenched incumbents, this year offers number of hotly contested races.
Even at this early stage, before all the candidates have declared their intentions, the races for commissioner, sheriff, state delegate and school board promise to be lively.

Attorneys for former Commissioner of Police Stuart Kernohan have filed a claim against Governor Stuart Jack and others, seeking damages for alleged unlawful termination of employment plus loss of reputation and future loss of earnings.
The writ, filed on Monday, does not mention any specific amount sought.
Listed as defendants are Mr. Jack on behalf of the Government of the Cayman Islands; Martin Bridger, the special constable seconded from the Metropolitan Police Service and leader of Operation Tempura; the acting commissioner of police, currently James Smith; and Attorney General Samuel Bulgin.
The writ first sets out background to the claim, noting Mr. Kernohan was appointed commissioner for a term starting 15 October 2005 and ending 14 October 2009. The contract of employment could not be varied unless employer and employee agreed in writing.
By a letter dated 27 March 2008, Mr. Jack placed Mr. Kernohan on required leave. The writ states this was unlawful and in breach of the contract, which contained no term permitting the governor to do so.
The letter included a condition that Mr. Kernohan could not leave the island, which amounted to false imprisonment.
Also on 27 March, Mr. Jack held a press conference, attended by Mr. Bridger, at which it was stated 'falsely and with deliberate effect, that [Mr. Kernohan] was not under investigation for any disciplinary or criminal offence.'
That statement was false because Mr. Kernohan was under investigation at the time and both Mr. Jack and Mr. Bridger knew it, the writ states. The investigation was code-named Operation Tempura.
In fact, two special constables had applied to Chief Justice Anthony Smellie for search warrants in respect of Mr. Kernohan and others on the basis there were reasonable grounds for suspecting he had committed offences, as part of an ongoing investigation into suspected criminal activity.
The press conference of 27 March 2008 'was of such tone and nature as to imply by innuendo serious misconduct and/or criminal activity on the part of [Mr. Kernohan], causing serious damage to his professional and personal reputation and to the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands….The innuendo was false.'
The press conference also amounted to a serious breach of the implied trust and confidence that is essential between employer and employee, the writ states.
In his ruling on 4 April 2008, the chief justice said there was no reasonable basis for concluding that Mr. Kernohan had committed any criminal offence. He therefore refused the application for a search warrant.
On or about 15 May 2008, the governor gave Mr Kernohan notice that he was under investigation for misconduct in a public office. The complainant was Mr. Bridger. But the notice did not disclose matters sufficient to amount to an allegation of 'misconduct in public office' at common law.
In any event, the allegations were substantially the same as had been put before the chief justice previously. Accordingly, they had no realistically possible chance of successfully prosecuting Mr. Kernohan on the basis of that material.
Mr. Kernohan's writ states he was unaware of the application for a search warrant and unaware of the chief justice's decision until 1 October 2008. The decision was made public after the arrest of Justice Alex Henderson in September 2008.
Although the governor had promised to keep Mr. Kernohan's required leave under review, he did not reinstate the commissioner to his post even after it ought to have been clear there were no grounds for keeping him on required leave.
After becoming aware of the chief justice's decision, Mr. Kernohan demanded he be reinstated in a letter dated 9 October 2008. He received no reply.
By a letter dated 18 November 2008, the governor dismissed Mr. Kernohan from his position as commissioner of the RCIPS. The letter contained no reasonable grounds for dismissal, the writ states (Compass, 19 November).
By a letter on 30 April 2009, Mr. Kernohan was informed that the investigation had been closed and he would not be charged with any criminal offence arising out of the investigation (Compass, 1 May).
Mr. Kernohan seeks salary and benefits until the end of his term of contract in October this year plus repatriation expenses.
He seeks compensation for damage to his reputation and future loss of earnings 'as he will or may be unable to obtain a replacement position of similar standing as result of the wrongful stigma attaching to him by reason of [the governor's] conduct.'

Tea & Comfort...
So...I took a lot of pictures of my little teacup to join in
all of Tuesdays usual tea-related festivities and they were
all so ACK! and blown out that I became a deflated little
puddle of self-pity and I didn't even bother to post since
I thought they were irredeemable! Seriously...whoever
thought it was a good idea to put a camera in my
hands was on crack...it's just that simple!
My niece has tried to help me learn the lesson of photography
without flashing...apparently though, I am a hard nut to
crack {there's that word again! ;}
I use a Mac with a program called iPhoto to edit my snaps...
so, I decided to see what all the hullabaloo is about and I
attempted to dig images out from under all those blank
squares of whiteness that...at the time...I had assumed were
pictures of my little no-name Homer Laughlin cup &
Well, with A LOT of contrasting this and highlighting that I
was magically able to make images appear...odd images...
ghostly images...but images nonetheless. No textures,
no Photoshop, just a big fat dose of "DUH"! ;}
I actually really like the first shot...how the rose stands out
so vividly... ok, maybe that's just the pathetic justification of
an inept picture-taker-chick!! ;}
But I think I'll go wade through some more "mishaps" and see
what appears!

Visiting your page from Graphics Fairy and got to looking around. Your no name Homer Laughlin cup does have a name...It's Carolyn, that is the style of the dishes, they came in many different decorative patterns, the flowers are a painted decal and the gold rim is painted on by hand. I visited the factory last month and took the tour because I too collected Homer Laughlin and couldn't identify my dishes. I showed the lady who gave the tour a dish that was shaped like mine but had different decorations on it from mine and she showed me and told me all about it. They still make that same pattern today along with their much more famous "Fiestaware"!ReplyDelete

Tagline: I'm a fill-in the blank aged, married mother of two that lives in Northeastern Pennsylvania…home of "The Office" TV show, Pierogies, Summer Bazaars, Potholes, Joe Snedeker and the "heyna or no?"
Please read the disclaimer before continuing.
This is the about me section. This is where I get to talk about myself a little bit without feeling guilty for being vain. Hey, you were the one that clicked on this section, not me! I was born on December 31st 1980 in Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. I know what you are thinking, "Wow, a new years eve baby." or perhaps "Wow, I bet your parents were happy to have you before the new year for the tax credit." Yeah, I get that a lot. I was actually born at 1:50 in the afternoon. My parents weren't even close to getting all the goodies and fame of having the first baby of the year of 1981.
For the first part of my childhood I grew up in Wilkes-Barre. I lived in Wilkes-Barre up until I started second grade. I attended kindergarten through the beginning of second grade at the Lee Park Elementary School, part of the Hanover Area School District. The second part of my childhood occured in Blakeslee. Blakeslee? Yes, Blakeslee. That is over 40 minutes away from Wilkes-Barre. Right about now you are probably wondering why my family uprooted us and moved to Blakeslee. Well, young Jedi, allow me to respond. My dad received a job offer in Quakertown which is close to Allentown (for those of you not familiar with Pennsylvania). The drive from Wilkes-Barre to Quakertown was too far so we needed to move closer to there. I guess Blakeslee was somewhere half way in between Quakertown and Wilkes-Barre, which was where my Mom still worked. Pay close attention to this detail as it comes into play later.
At any rate, I lived in Blakeslee from 2nd grade up until I graduated. I graduated from the Pocono Mountain School District and Monroe County Area Vocational Technical School in June of 1999. After that I moved in with my Grandmother (back in Wilkes-Barre) so I could take a job to get health insurance being that I was kicked off of my parents health insurance when I was 19. After about 3 months of a total slave labor job at Liberty Business Information I had my fill and started to look elsewhere for a different job. I looked no further than my own ISP at the time. Epix Internet Services was looking for Technical Support Reps so I applied and eventually got a job there…it took 4 months. Thanks to Epix, I was able to buy my first house and first car.
Remember the part I said about "pay close attention to this detail"? Yeah. My Dad eventually lost his job in Quakertown and after a bout of unemployment he got another job in Wilkes-Barre. So now both of my parents work in Wilkes-Barre, but live in Blakeslee and commute over 40 minutes back and forth daily. *Shakes head*
Moving from one school district to another may not seem that horrific, but when you are only 7 years old and have tons of friends and then move to another school district and have none it is traumatizing. This may seem ridiculous, but I had tons of friends when I was in Lee Park Elementary and had rarely ridden a school bus with anyone older than me. Moving to Pocono Mountain made me have to start over friend wise and I had to ride a bus with much older kids who usually picked on me. It took a while to recover from that. I eventually established my own friend base and things got back to normal in Michelle world, until 6th grade. That was the last year me and my friends would be together. To understand the next part, I have to explain a little about how Pocono Mountain runs. When I went there…there were 4 elementary schools: TEC – Tobyhanna Elementary Center BEC – Barrett Elementary Center PEC – Pocono Elementary Center CEC – Coolbaugh Elementary Center I went to TEC…what school you went to depended on what township you lived in. In 7th grade we were going to start at a new school — the very scarey Intermediate School. All of the the 4 elementary centers were going to be there. Since there were so many kids, the chances of you being in the same class with your friends was slim to none. You were lucky if people you even knew from your school were in the same class as you. Needless to say there were different cliques of friends. I didn't really fit in anywhere. This would be the case throughout most of High School, which is why I came to hate going to Pocono Mountain. In ninth grade I was presented with the opportunity to go to Vo-Tech. I don't know what made me interested in going so much, I really can't remember for sure. However, I think it may have had something to do with a Christmas present that changed my life forever: A computer More specifically" A Packard Bell, with Windows 3.11 and a 500 MB hard drive and 4, count'em 4 megs of RAM. This thing SCREAMED! I noticed that Vo-Tech had a program for "Computer Technology". I knew it seemed like a long shot, but I applied to go to Vo-Tech, much to my mother's dismay. She tried to talk me into the nursing program. I am highly squeemish at the sight of blood and needles so that was out of the question. I was accepted as the second choice from Pocono Mountain, and they only picked 5 people for my shop. That isn't too bad considering I only had one disciplinary problem throughout my entire school life. I completed my 3 years of schooling and graduated from both Vo-Tech and Pocono Mtn with high honors. I graduated 37 out of 636 at Pocono Mountain and was inducted to the national honor society. I was accepted into the Leadership Wilkes-Barre in 2010. My class project was a baseball field revitalization which worked out very successfully after putting on a comedy show to raise funds. I graduated from the program in June of 2010. Soon after, I decided to go back to school. I started attending LCCC for Computer Information Systems. As of October of 2011, I am half way through receiving the credits needed to get my Associates Degree and just received an invitation to join the Phi Theta Kappa honor society at the college.
Round and round I go, where I'll stop nobody knows. I'm like Little Lilly (download Little Lilly by Widespread Panic)
I was married on June 9th, 2004 to the hubs whom I met at epix. Soon after (more like around the same time) I got pregnant with my first baby. she was born on December 1st 2004 at 4:52pm weighing in at 9lbs 3oz. (Normal birth…no C-Section, they had no idea that she was that big). We named her Gabrielle (it rhymes with Michelle!) Paige Davies after much debate about her middle name. I liked Lynn, but Rich liked Paige for some reason. I let him have Paige. He originally wanted her first name to be Jade. I was not willing to compromise on that. Twenty months to the day later, on August 1st 2006, I gave birth to my son, Owen William. As of this revision, Gabrielle is 6 years old and Owen is 5 years old. Gabrielle is now a second grader and Owen just started Kindergarten. I have "flood" babies. When I was pregnant with Gabby, hurricane Ivan struck and nearly flooded the entire Wyoming Valley. When I was pregnant with Owen (and days away from my due date) the flood of 2006 occurred. Wilkes-Barre was spared from much of the flooding this time around. Owen and Gabby are complete polar opposites in every sense of the word. It keeps things interesting and I wouldn't have them any other way.
I wrote this little blurb about myself a long time ago and I think it still holds true:
"Life. Life? I must say it is an interesting concept. I among many other humans do not understand it. It just doesn't add up. As I sit in my misery I ponder if I'm the only one. I'm guessing no. In my opinion life is a two way street. You and only you make the decision as to what path to take. If you take the wrong road you're in for a ride that's quite bumpy. Life could also be a rollercoaster with its ups and downs. And when you least expect it, it throws you for loops and around corners at a lightning fast speed that leaves your head spinning. And for all the times I thought I figured it out – it found some twisted way to throw me. Maybe you don't get the meaning until you're about to die or perhaps already dead. If this is true I guess I'm in for a long wait for I am still young and immature in a sense, but then again, aren't we all? Life, I guess could also be a trip. For example, we are born, fall in love and die. And some how in between it all try to live our hopes/dreams and have a good time doing it all. I forlorn the thought of the day that I die. I'm not aware of the future, I have a pretty good representation of the past (well according to my history teachers' accounts anyway) and life can only go upwared from down here, right?!? Well only the future holds these answers. So when I go to sleep I some how hope it will all go away, but it never does. No matter what I'm feeling I always can seem to grin and bear it. As I awake from my little daydream I think about all my accomplishments in my life so far and smile."

Arkansas legacy commits to Razorbacks
Another Lindsey is heading to Arkansas.
Jack Lindsey, the son of former Arkansas running back Jim Lindsey, committed to his father's alma mater on Wednesday.
Lindsey will join the Razorbacks' 2016 signing class as a preferred walk-on, he announced on Twitter.
"First I would like to thank God for giving me the chance to play football," Lindsey wrote. "Not everyone is able to do that and it's a real blessing. I would next like to thank my friends, family and coaches that have impacted my life and made me the person I am today. With that being said I will further my education and athletic career at the University of Arkansas as a preferred walk on. Go Hogs!"
Lindsey, an unrated pro-style quarterback, hails from Springdale (Fayetteville, Ark.) High School. He joins three-star prospect Cole Kelley as the other quarterback signee in Arkansas' Class of 2016.
Jim Lindsey played running back for the Razorbacks from 1963-65 and helped guide the team to a national championship in '64.

0General CommentGreat song by a great band. I know that these lyrics are "correct" in terms of the booklet that came with the CD, this song has a few extra lines. Mainly being the lines whispered during the intro and the screams at the end of the song. After panning the audio to the left and turning the gain up I managed to pick out these lyrics in the intro:
I once wrote a song for you
and as time passes by
Now that song doesn't sound
so secure anymore
I can hope for the end

Detection, mixing and generation of millimetre and submillimetre radiation by Esaki-Tsu semiconducting superlattices and high-temperature superconducting filmsProject ID: INTAS-94-3965
Financé au titre de:
Detection, mixing and generation of millimetre and submillimetre radiation by Esaki-Tsu semiconducting superlattices and high-temperature superconducting films
Détails concernant le projet
Coût total:Non disponible
Contribution de l'UE:EUR 70 000
Coordonné à/au(x)/en:Germany
Sujet(s):15 - Condensed Matter Physics
The purpose of this project is to provide the physical background for developing new receiving techniques in millimetre (MM) and submillimetre (SMM) wavelength range suitable for radioastronomy, laser diagnostic, and environmental research. The phenomena to be used are Bloch oscillations in short-period semiconducting superlattices and non-equilibrium quasi-particle photoresponse of superconducting films. Detection and mixing of MM and SMM radiation with semiconducting Esaki-Tsu superlattices and with thin structured low- and high-temperature superconducting films as well as the possibility to generate MM electromagnetic radiation by means of negative differential effect due to Bloch oscillations in superlattices will be investigated.
Due to extensive experience in molecular beam epitaxy growth of short-period semiconducting superlattices the team from St. Petersburg will provide a reliable technological basis for the semiconducting part of the project. It will be accompanied with microstructuring and MM wave characterization techniques highly developed in Nizhny Novgorod. Superconducting films of high quality will be produced in Regensburg and will be structured in Moscow. A theoretical basis for studying dc and transient characteristics of superlattices will be developed in Regensburg. The Moscow group is well experienced in the study and applications of fast non-equilibrium kinetic phenomena in thin superconducting films. This team will aim to work on the SMM mixing experiments and the characterization of superconducting films.
Finally, the high level of Regensburg and Pisa groups in terahertz spectroscopy and also in generation and detection of picosecond terahertz radiation pulses will allow the capabilities of several laboratories to be concentrated on a topic of actuality in the field of both basic and applied research and to achieve the following goals: to determine the spectral dependence of the response to terahertz radiation of short-period semiconducting superlattices; to increase the generation efficiency at MM wavelengths and the frequency band of Esaki-Tsu semiconducting oscillators; and to obtain experimentally the performance of a superconducting film mixer.

What are the things that make or break a relationship for you? Do you hate it if your partner smokes or parties too much? Do you have OCD that gets triggered by the messiness of the person you are dating? Would you get insecure when your significant other doesn't show his romantic side?
There's no need to be embarrassed or feel like you're being shallow; everyone has their own thoughts about what they can't deal with from their partner. It can be physical attributes, beliefs or habits. You can tell us what pushes you to the limit in a relationship and we will take a guess at what age you got married!

1. Never rely on another person for your own happiness. Never ever do that.
2. You can't control other people but you can control your response to them.
3. It's better to bridle the tongue than to speak recklessly on high emotions.
4. It's more difficult to forgive yourself than it is to forgive another. But you can't move forward and fully heal without self-forgiveness.
5. Love yourself. Think highly of who you are. Know that you have a combination of talents, skills and abilities unique to who you are.
6. Don't make excuses, with so-called justifiable reasons, for staying in a bad situation.
7. Trust your intuition. Don't talk yourself out of what your intuition is trying to tell you. Go with your gut.
8. People learn how to treat you based on the level of bullshit you accept from them. Don't deal with anyone's bullshit. This does not mean you have to react to it in an unbecoming way — that will only make the problem worse. But yeah, don't deal with anyone's bullshit.

Lenten Fridays are a great time to prepare savory Salmon Burgers. Meaty – but not meat – and seasoned with four spices you're bound to have on hand, these burgers are a welcomed change if you've reached your limit of fried fish plates from the local church.
What you'll need:
1 TBSP olive oil
2 4-oz salmon filets, with skin (or not, if you don't like skin)
Black pepper, to taste
Old Bay brand seasoning, to taste
Garlic powder, to taste
Onion powder, to taste
2 brioche buns, toasted
1 cup baby spinach leaves, rinsed thoroughly and patted dry
Purple onion, cut in rings
What you'll do:
Rinse salmon filets and pat dry with paper towels. This keeps the filets from spattering when placed in the hot oil.
Place olive oil in skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once oil is hot, but not smoking, place salmon filets skin-side down. Adjust…

American glamour model Carmen Electra is all set to pose in the nude for Playboy.entertainment Updated: Nov 14, 2008 15:39 IST
American glamour model Carmen Electra is all set to pose in the nude for Playboy.
A source has revealed that Electra, 36, is set to appear in an all-new, eight-page nude pictorial in January's Playboy, People magazine reports.
The model-actress gained fame when she first posed for Playboy in 1996, a move which turned the Ohio-based girl next door, who was born Tara Leigh Patrick, into an international pin-up star.
She will now be posing for the January issue, which marks the 55th anniversary of Playboy magazine, and it will go on sale from December 12.

Handle Dropped Images
I spy, with my little drop( ) method, something that doesn't support DataFlavor.imageFlavor…arrrgh!
Handling drag-and-drop from native applications [Hack #66] can be tricky because they're not particularly consistent about how they represent the data being transferred to your application. Now, let's say you want to accept dropped imagesnot image files, but actual images inside of browser windows, digital photo viewers, word processing and page-layout applications, etc. There's a constant in DataFlavor for images, so surely you can count on that being a flavor offered to you by the TRansferable, right?
No, of course not. That would be too easy.
Using the dumpDataFlavors( ) strategy of the earlier URL hack, I checked out the DataFlavors offered by images dropped from some popular Windows and Mac applications. The results are pretty interestingcheck out Figure.
Preview 2.1 / Mac OS X
GraphicConverter 4.6 / Mac OS X
Finder / Mac OS X
Safari 1.3 / Mac OS X
Firefox 1.0 / Mac OS X
QuickTime Player 6.5 / Mac OS X
AppleWorks 6.2.9 / Mac OS X
MarinerWrite 3.6.4 / Mac OS X
iPhoto 4.0.3 / Mac OS X
Explorer / Windows XP
MSIE 6.0 / Windows XP
Firefox 1.0 / Windows XP
Paint / Windows XP
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer / Windows XP
Windows Media Player / Windows XP
QuickTime Player 6.5.1 / Windows XP
QuickTime Picture Viewer 6.5.1 / Windows XP
The first thing you should notice is the poor support for dragging and dropping images in Windows: Paint, Picture and Fax Viewer, and the Quick-Time applications are not drag sources, and dragging an image from the playlist of Windows Media Player to the Swing application in this hack actually crashes Java.
Furthermore, the supported DataFlavors are all over the map. A lot of these provide references to image files in the form of either a javaFileListFlavor (as do the Windows and Mac desktops), a list of URIs (the MIME type text/uri-list defined by RFC 2483 and supported by many of the browsers), or a single URL. To top it off, some of the older Mac applications send a single, hard-to-handle DataFlavor that will require special QuickTime-based handling [Hack #68].
Thanks to Swing's support for common image types like GIF, JPEG, and PNG, a file reference is good enough because you can easily make an ImageIcon from a URL or filepath to any of these types.
Grabbing the Drop
Figure shows a basic application that accepts a drop and tries to obtain from the drop (in order of preference):
A java.awt.Image
A java.util.List of java.io.Files
A String, formatted per the uri-list spec
A java.net.URL
Handling dropped images from other applications
public class ImageDropTargetDemo extends JPanel implements DropTargetListener { DropTarget dropTarget; JLabel dropHereLabel; static DataFlavor urlFlavor, uriListFlavor, macPictStreamFlavor; static { try { urlFlavor = new DataFlavor ("application/x-java-url; class=java.net.URL"); uriListFlavor = new DataFlavor ("text/uri-list; class=java.lang.String"); } catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) { cnfe.printStackTrace( ); } } public ImageDropTargetDemo( ) { super(new BorderLayout( )); dropHereLabel = new JLabel (" Drop here ", SwingConstants.CENTER); dropHereLabel.setFont (getFont( ).deriveFont (Font.BOLD, 24.0f)); add (dropHereLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER); // set up drop target stuff dropTarget = new DropTarget (dropHereLabel, this); } public static void main (String[] args) { JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Image DropTarget Demo"); ImageDropTargetDemo demoPanel = new ImageDropTargetDemo( ); frame.getContentPane( ).add (demoPanel); frame.pack( ); frame.setVisible(true); } // drop target listener events public void dragEnter (DropTargetDragEvent dtde) {} public void dragExit (DropTargetEvent dte) {} public void dragOver (DropTargetDragEvent dtde) {} // drop( ) method listed below public void dropActionChanged (DropTargetDragEvent dtde) {} public void showImageInNewFrame (ImageIcon icon) { JFrame frame = new JFrame( ); frame.getContentPane( ).add (new JLabel (icon)); frame.pack( ); frame.setVisible(true); } public void showImageInNewFrame (Image image) { showImageInNewFrame (new ImageIcon (image)); } private void dumpDataFlavors (Transferable trans) { System.out.println ("Flavors:"); DataFlavor[] flavors = trans.getTransferDataFlavors( ); for (int i=0; i<flavors.length; i++) { System.out.println ("*** " + i + ": " + flavors[i]); } } }
As in "Handle Dropped URLs" [Hack #66], this program uses static initializers to set up two custom DataFlavors: one for URLs and another for lists of URIs provided as Strings. Constants for images (specifically, java.awt.Images) and lists of files (java.util.Lists of java.io.Files)are provided for you by the DataFlavor class.
You register for drag-and-drop by creating a DropTarget with an onscreen component and an implementation of the DropTargetListener class. The key to the DropTargetListener is to meaningfully implement the drop( ) method, taking a DropTargetDropEvent and accepting the drop, trying to get the data from the event's transferable, and reporting back to the event on whether the data was handled successfully. To prove that it worked, this application shows the dropped image in a new JFrame.
Of course, the devil is in the details, meaning the drop( ) method, which is listed in Figure.
Handling the image drop
public void drop (DropTargetDropEvent dtde) { System.out.println ("drop"); dtde.acceptDrop (DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY_OR_MOVE); Transferable trans = dtde.getTransferable( ); System.out.println ("Flavors:"); dumpDataFlavors (trans); boolean gotData = false; try { // try to get an image if (trans.isDataFlavorSupported (DataFlavor.imageFlavor)) { System.out.println ("image flavor is supported"); Image img = (Image) trans.getTransferData (DataFlavor.imageFlavor); showImageInNewFrame (img); gotData = true; } else if (trans.isDataFlavorSupported ( DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor)) { System.out.println ("javaFileList is supported"); java.util.List list = (java.util.List) trans.getTransferData (DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor); ListIterator it = list.listIterator( ); while (it.hasNext( )) { File f = (File) it.next( ); ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon (f.getAbsolutePath( )); showImageInNewFrame (icon); } gotData = true; } else if (trans.isDataFlavorSupported (uriListFlavor)) { System.out.println ("uri-list flavor is supported"); String uris = (String) trans.getTransferData (uriListFlavor); // url-lists are defined by rfc 2483 as crlf-delimited StringTokenizer izer = new StringTokenizer (uris, "\r\n"); while (izer.hasMoreTokens ( )) { String uri = izer.nextToken( ); System.out.println (uri); ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon (uri); showImageInNewFrame (icon); } gotData = true; } else if (trans.isDataFlavorSupported (urlFlavor)) { System.out.println ("url flavor is supported"); URL url = (URL) trans.getTransferData (urlFlavor); System.out.println (url.toString( )); ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon (url); showImageInNewFrame (icon); gotData = true; } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace( ); } finally { System.out.println ("gotData is " + gotData); dtde.dropComplete (gotData); } }
drop( ) asks the transferable for supported DataFlavors in the order you'd prefer to deal with them. First, obviously, is DataFlavor.imageFlavor. If this is supported, you can trivially cast the data object returned by transferable. getTransferData( ) to an Image.
The next easiest thing to deal with is the Java file list, denoted by the MIME type application/x-java-file-list, and handled by the DataFlavor constant javaFileListFlavor. Given Swing's support for various image file formats, you can cast the transfer data to a java.util.List, iterate over its members, cast each one to a File, and make an ImageIcon from each file's path. URLs work pretty much the same way: cast the transfer data to a java.net.URL and make an ImageIcon from it.
URI lists take just a little work on your part. RFC 2483 defines these as being some number of URIs, separated by CRLF pairs. It's trivial to take the URI list as a string and send it to a StringTokenizer to pick out each URI, which can then be passed to the ImageIcon constructor.
Shut Up and Drag
Start up the demo and drag over an image from your favorite application, as shown in Figure.
Dragging an image from a native application to a Swing component
When dropped, you'll see the image appear in its own JFrame.In Figure, I've dragged small images from several different applications, resulting in each being opened in its own frame.
Image dropped from a native application and opened in Swing
This won't work if you're dragging an image from one of the Mac OS X applications that only supplies one DataFlavor. You'll have to deal with Picts [Hack #68] in that situation.

Finding a Lovely Saree Blouse to Pair with Your Saree
A saree and saree blouse (sometimes spelled sari) can be made from one of several different fabrics, including nylon, rayon or polyester, but traditionally they are made of silk or cotton.
You can buy a saree in a beautiful, jewel-like solid color or indulge your sense of fashion with an equally beautiful, elaborate floral, geometric, checked, striped or abstract pattern or brocade woven into the cloth.
Many Western women might not realize that a saree is actually a long strip of fabric which transforms itself into a ladies garment when it is carefully wrapped around a woman's body.
The saree fabric can be up to nine yards long and can be draped in several styles. Most sarees are worn wrapped around the woman's waist, with one end of the length of fabric (called the pallu) draped over her shoulder. In some styles of saree wrapping, all or part of the woman's midriff is bare.
A petticoat is usually worn beneath a saree, and the woman's upper torso is clothed with a cropped, low-necked, short-sleeved, tightly-fitted blouse known as a ravika or choli. The according blouse is worn beneath the saree.
The Saree Blouse
Traditionally, the blouse took a back seat to the beauty of the saree itself. Now, however, blouses for sarees have evolved and are more beautiful and adventurous than they were in the past.
Some of the dressier styles of blouses are single-shoulder, backless, or off-the-shoulder, halter neck, and they're not taking a back seat anymore. You can buy a saree blouse in a wide range of colors, from vivid deep colors to beautiful pastels to muted, darker tones.
Choli (saree blouses) are also available in a wide range of fabrics, including silk, satin, cotton, crepe, georgette and others. Some designer blouses are quite decorative and are embellished with fine embroidery, sequins, beads, crystals and so forth.
When you're searching for the right saree and blouse, the choices can be a bit overwhelming. And Indian sarees and blouses aren't the type of attire that you can just walk into any of your local stores and buy.

Different Perspective
I have photographed Philadelphia from many different location. I am always looking for a different perspective. As I walked to the top of the building & leaned over the edge. I was amazed at how many different views there were. I usually get caught up with what's in front of me, sometimes all you need to do is turn around. Next time you're standing around, just turn. It's amazing how your view will change. I didn't move more than 3 feet to capture these shots. I have 3 totally different photos.
Ben Franklin Bridge
Your looking from the north side of the bridge. Heading south down the Delaware River between Philadelphia & Camden. The skyline
This view is normally seen by people driving down I-95 south.

Great photos that are strikingly different but perfectly illustrate your premise. Because of these beautiful illustrations I will now make it a point to change the perspective of my views even if I'm not taking photographs.
