Two businessmen in Florida were sitting down for a break in their
soon-to-be new store. As yet, the store wasn't ready, with only a few
shelves set up.
One said to the other, "I bet any minute now some senior is going to
walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what we're selling."
No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a
curious senior walked to the window, had a peek, and in a soft voice
asked, "What are you sellin' here?"
One of the men replied sarcastically, "We're selling ass-holes."
Without skipping a beat, the old timer said, "Must be doing well...
only two left."
A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's ffice.
Is it true," she wanted to know, "that the medication
you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?"
"'Yes, I'm afraid so,"' the doctor told her.
There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied, "I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition because this prescription is marked
A woman bursts into the doctor's office. "Doctor, doctor, I lost my glasses! Do I have to be examined all over?
The doctor says, "No, madam, just your eyes"
An older gentleman was on the operating table
awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son,
a renowned surgeon, perform the operation.
As he was about to get the anesthesia, he asked to speak to his son.
"Yes, Dad, what is it?"
"Don't be nervous, son; do your best,
and just remember, if it doesn't go well,
if something happens to me, your mother
is going to come and live with you and your wife...."

This two-day SAFe certification training course will show you how to successfully scale Agile principals across your organization by utilizing Lean thinking practices and Product Development Flow techniques.
Scale Agile Across Multiple Teams or the Enterprise
For years now, Agile teams have been able to develop higher-quality software at a faster rate by utilizing techniques that help them respond to change. This works great in smaller organizations where individual teams can focus on individual pieces of software, but it can be hard to scale these benefits across a portfolio of products because different teams are focused solely on their own goals. This misalignment of team, program and portfolio is often the obstacle that keeps organizations from fully harnessing the power of Agile.
Defining an overall organizational portfolio vision and aligning each team's goals can help you further enhance the value of Agile practices. Through Lean Software Development and Product Development Flow, this SAFe certification course will show you how to create longer programs, called Agile Release Trains, where groups of Agile teams work together to optimize quality and velocity to deliver even greater value for their stakeholders.
What is the Scaled Agile Framework?
The Scaled Agile Framework (or SAFe) is a guide to aligning Agile development throughout an organization. Most organizations focus their Agile development efforts at the team level, first starting with a pilot team and later transitioning individual teams one at a time. Unfortunately, this method fails to fully integrate each team's efforts with the larger stakeholder need. The Scaled Agile Framework gives you proven techniques to align these teams to work at the larger program level, and ultimately how to align multiple programs into a portfolio that maximizes shareholder value.
ASPE is proud to be a Silver Level partner with Scaled Agile, the exclusive certifying body for the Scaled Agile Framework. Attending this class and passing the qualifying exam will earn you the SAFe Agilist (SA) certification. This certification will prove that you have the knowledge necessary to lead the adoption of a SAFe implementation.
In this SAFe Certification Course You will learn:
- How to lead an enterprise Agile transformation
- To apply Lean thinking techniques at the Team, Program and Portfolio levels
- To apply Lean, Agile and Product Development Flow principles to improve productivity, employee engagement, time to market and quality
- How to infuse Agile into your entire organization – not just your IT department
- How to create Agile Release Trains that align the efforts of Agile and non-Agile teams to create greater stakeholder value
- To encourage collaboration across all the layers of your organization to enable teams to deliver complex cross-functional features in 10-12 week increment
- To improve the communication and focus of your organization's Agile implementation
Become a Certified Scaled Agile Framework Agilist
The Leading Scaled Agile Framework course is your first step towards earning your Scaled Agile Framework Agilist (SA) certification. Other pre-requisites include more than five years of experience in software development, testing, business analysis, product or project management as well as experience in Scrum. Upon taking the two-day Scaled Agile Framework Course, you are eligible to complete the SAFe certification exam to earn your SAFe Agilist (SA) certification. The cost of the exam is included in your course tuition. SAFe certification exam questions center around:
- Lean Thinking
- Agile Development principles
- SAFe ScrumXP
- Agile Release Trains
- Agile Portfolio Management
- Agile Architecture
- Scaling Leadership
As more and more organizations look to scale Agile, be one of the select group of professionals who have a SAFe certification to back-up their hands-on experience.

Some poetry dispatches from the incessant humidity of southwestern Ontario:
My poem "The Flood of '37" won PRISM international's 2016 Poetry Contest, judged by Kayla Czaga. You can find the poem in this summer's issue as well as an interview I did with Shaun Robinson up on the website. I'm also delighted to have three poems in the current issue of Grain, guest edited by Elizabeth Phillips. Much gratitude to the editors of both journals!
I also wanted to share my good friend Andy Verboom's recent chapbook, Tower, which came out this month from Anstruther Press. It's gorgeously designed and produced, and the writing is electric, zip-lining the reader back and forth between forms and genres, Canada and New Zealand.
While I'm on the topic of recommendations and crossing borders, I was finally able to read The Essential Daryl Hine selected and introduced by James Pollock (published in 2015 by The Porcupine's Quill). Hine was Canadian-born but spent most of his life in the U.S., and in addition to writing his own poetry, served as the editor of Poetry in the 1970s. I've wanted to dig into Hine's work for a long time but found his oeuvre quite intimidating. Pollock's introduction and brief biography of Hine provide an excellent guide. I think my favourite selection is the sonnet sequence "Arrondissements" from 1978's Daylight Savings, where Hine takes the reader on a tour of Paris in "a catalogue of incandescent moments," but there are many gems, including "The Trout," which you can read on the publisher's website.

Lindow Man Was a Celtic Sacrifice
In 1983 the remains of an ancient Celtic body was found submerged in the peat of Lindow and was given the official name of Lindow man. This 2BC to 119 AD body provided information about the ancient Celtic religion and an insight into their world. The ancient Celtics or known as Gauls or galatains was the most feared barbarians of all during the Iron Age. Not much evidence had been found about this ancient culture but the body of Lindow man and further investigation brought about awareness of this ancient civilization. Lindow man was found to have been strangled, drowned, stabbed, received numerous blows to the head and suffering horrific wounds and injuries. This was an interesting case as no other bog body had had these same inflicting wounds. So was Lindow man a human sacrifice as many archaeologists have suggested? This question has been tossed and turned many times as new evidence has disproved many theories. This essay therefore provided information to what extent is the statement true Lindow man was a Celtic sacrifice'!
Through evidence, such as the Greek writings and the roman writing, this provides information about the ancient Celtic world. These authors such as Julius Caesar, Strabo and Diodorus all provided information about the Celts as the Celts did not read or write since they recorder their experiences and events through word of mouth and memory. However these writing can also be unreliable and biased as these the Greeks and Romans might have the information of the Celtic world wrong. Never the less these writers such as Julius Caesar told about the overseeing bloody rituals' conducted by the druids. The druids were commonly written about as they were a powerful member of their tribe. These writings also reveal that the Celts lived in tribes, wore gold and love to fight and drink a lot of wine. Other writing reveal that the Celts were the most feared of all barbarians at that time.

The quirky, and we have to say slightly politically incorrect considering it's a German product, named Fritz!Box takes a scattergun approach to the market. Aiming in equal measure at home users and business, home workers and offices, it not too surprisingly struggles to satisfy them all.
For the home user market there are just too many competing products which do not require you to rip out your existing wireless router and start again. Skype, in its various incarnations, being perhaps the most obvious of these. Then there is the price, at £125 it is most certainly not the cheapest wireless router available.
OK, so how about the office market then? Here it has to work against the fact that, outside of Germany at least, AVM just does not have the established brand presence and this cannot be overlooked when making a business decision on which kit to install. We suspect it will sell best in what used to known as the Small Office Home Office (SoHo) sector, people working from home and wanting to make the most out of their connectivity with minimal outlay and using the minimal amount of hardware on the basis of the less there is then the less there is to go wrong. Here, the Fritz!Box scores highly because it provides what is in effect a seven bits of kit in one solution. Count 'em:
1. ADSL modem
2. 802.11g wireless router
3. 4 port Ethernet hub/switch
4. Voice over IP telephone system
5. File server
6. Print server
7. Hardware firewall
Some of the Germanic concepts do not survive translation particularly well, like Stick and Surf for example. Not that there's anything wrong with being able to transfer configuration and security settings including network keys and encryption types from the Fritz!Bos to a Fritz!WLAN USB stick. Indeed, it makes copying configurations easy and solves the setting up securely problem that so many people new to wireless broadband fall foul of. Nope, it's just the name we have a problem with. Stick and Surf, sounds like it came out of a new Carry On movie.
Security overall is well thought out though, from providing factory activated WPA encryption out of the box, to there being a hardware switch on the device to simply toggle wireless network availability.
The real trick up its sleeve has to be the addition of the built-in two port PBX which enables you to make telephone calls over the Internet or on your landline. In fact, the web-based configuration page makes setting all this up very easy and allows for the Fritz!Box to automatically route calls to either your Internet device or landline depending upon the number, so you can ensure that emergency calls always get routed via the landline while those chats with your mother in Australia go via the Internet.
The PC doesn't need to be switched on either, the Fritz!Box handles everything for you, getting around one of the problems faced by many Skype users who might not want to keep their computers up and running all the time.
The telephony functionality is really very impressive indeed, and home users will surely appreciate the business-like features such as detailed logging of all incoming and outgoing calls for both internet and landline telephones just as much an office bound user would. We especially liked the ability to put the device into a smart Night Service mode which disables the wireless access point and prevents all phones ringing during the wee small hours, perfect for the home office user (assuming they have a separate domestic line of course). VoIP is achieved using SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) for those who care about such things.
Voice quality is good, aided by the fact that can use your current landline telephone to plug into internet telephony calls. All too often it is the cheap plastic handset hardware that ruins otherwise acceptable call quality at the budget end of the online telephone call market. Moving data around our small office was not so impressive though, we never managed to get much more than a standard 54Mbps out of the wireless network, certainly never attaining the great promised heights of 125Mbps.
For the small office on a budget, especially the home office user wanting full functionality for a bargain price, the Fritz!Box 7140 is hard to beat.
For everyone else you will probably be paying for stuff you don't need and never use.

A CSX freight train, maybe 100 cars long, click-clacks slowly through Sandy Hook, headed for a mountain tunnel. On one side of the tracks, a black cat suns itself on a front-porch roof. On the other side, a woman runner lopes in the cold on the C&O Canal towpath. Beyond her, the Potomac River runs white over the rocks.
Along Sandy Hook Road, the village's main street, the houses stretch out on a line toward the school-bus turnaround. Mostly of stone and closely placed, the houses are virtually all on the same side of the narrow sunken road. Cars here cling to the edge of the railroad bed or are parked in their owners' front yards.
In Sandy Hook Grocery, owner Alice Mills and her son Jerry, 17, have no customers.
"I've lived here since I was 14," says Mrs. Mills, 50. "This is a nice, quiet place."
And it is quiet this afternoon in Sandy Hook, an unincorporated Maryland river and railroad town of 100 to 150 people across the Potomac from the more celebrated Harpers Ferry, W.Va. To travelers heading to historic Harpers Ferry over the U.S. 340 bridge, Sandy Hook below is barely visible.

Here's Why You Should Attend Vasectomy Reversaladmin 0 October 30, 2017 Health
Not evaluate that fluid quality and just did a simple that may be why it failed as we talked about earlier so I need to determine that before I move on and figure out exactly how to put this man back together so I never quit the surgery I never know exactly.
what I'm doing until I see sperm and when I see that sperm and I know where it is that's when I can plug that man back in and give him the best chances of a successful surgery so what if vasectomy reversal isn't the right operation and and why would that be and there are a few reasons we alluded to earlier now we're going to get into it so a couple of things that I need to clarify is the only.
way for couples to achieve pregnancy after vasectomy is either a successful vasectomy reversal or a sperm extraction for in fertilization and that's the key a question I get all the time is can't I just aspirate sperm out and then use that for insemination or intrauterine insemination this it doesn't work and the reason it doesn't work is that we need millions of sperm for a successful.
If I'm doing a sperm aspiration I'm happy if I get one million sperm sometimes two sometimes more but the bottom line is the minute I start aspirating sperm I'm creating scar tissue in that man's epidermis makes it very difficult to go back to that same spot or anywhere else and find sperm if that didn't work the first time so it's purely a matter of quantity in order for an to be successful.
we need ejaculated sperm so again has to be done through either a vasectomy reversal or sperm extraction for IVF that's the only way or in nitro fertilization the only way that we're gonna be able to establish pregnancy after vasectomy.

text: Nikke Finke raises an interesting question in her post about the Roy and Patty Disney divorce. How diluted will Roy's Disney stock become? And with that will his influence shrink? I suspect not as most of his influence had to do with the ability to rally the troops and form a coalition of stock holders and others to oust Eisner. The rest rides on his name and his history with the company (feature animation in particular). If he's forced out completely it will end another sad chapter in the history of the Disney family and the company formed by Walt and Roy.

Even if say a great white shark bothered Jonah, it probably just took a sample bite and swam away.
"However, most of these are not fatal, and new research finds that great whites, who are naturally curious, are "sample biting" then releasing their victims rather than preying on humans." [0]
I for one state Jonah never existed. Thanks in advance for accepting the debate.
When we look at Pro"s claim, we see that Pro is trying to disprove a historical figure by discrediting legendary stories that surround that character. Simply put, this is as weak as saying George Washington never existed because he never cut down a cherry tree.
Pro also discredits the Bible, the only available source on this character. But if we are to discredit the only source on a historical person, how can one reasonably prove this character never existed? The answer is that you can"t.
In short, Pro is trying to argue that Russell"s teapot doesn"t exist. The problem is that the burden of proof is squarely fixed on the instigator, who (in my opinion) will have an impossible time vainly trying to prove this assertion correct or even likely.
"In short, Pro is trying to argue that Russell"s teapot doesn"t exist. The problem is that the burden of proof is squarely fixed on the instigator, who (in my opinion) will have an impossible time vainly trying to prove this assertion correct or even likely." petfish
Nope, the burden of proof is on you. This is due to the difficulty of disproving negatives, I can't disprove unicorns. My opponent must have the burden of proof.
According to James Cargile:
"When two parties are in a discussion and one asserts a claim that the other disputes, the one who asserts has a burden of proof to justify or substantiate that claim."[1]
According to Christopher Hitchens:
"What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."[2]
Universally held debate ethics and regulations should not be changed just because an assertion is hard to prove. If Pro wished for the BoP to be shared, he/she might have worded the debate into a question. If Pro wanted me to have the sole BoP, he/she should have clearly stated that in the opening post. Anything outside of this is unethically shifting the BoP.
A short example: if I were to make a debate called 'Adolf Hitler is NOT dead', the BoP would be on me because I'm making a claim. And the fact that this claim is negative does not change the fact that I have the BoP.
I don't see the instigator automatically assuming the burden of proof.
As for the George Washington and the Cherry tree, we have many pictures of George Washington that stand up to scrutiny. The same can't be said for Jonah. Also, cutting down a cherry tree is much more likely than resurrection.
My opponent has again unfairly shifted the BoP over to my side, even though I demonstrated that the BoP is normally on the instigator.
My opponent has presented no alternative philosophy or reason for the BoP to be on me, except that it is hard to prove a negative. But this is hardly an adequate reason. So I find it insulting when he/she implies that the BoP is obviously on me.
Alternativatively, I did provide a rational framework where the BoP fits on my opponent. This isn't 'playing around'; this is providing actual quotes from actual debaters and philosophers on the subject.
Finally, my opponent's whole stance on the BoP is unreferenced, which makes his position on this matter a bare assertion.[3]
"...we have many pictures of George Washington that stand up to scrutiny. The same can't be said for Jonah."
This argument also carries no citations with it, making it another bare assertion. Also, this counter argument seems to be misrepresenting my first argument which was that you cannot say someone did not exist simply because there are false legends about that person.

After attendees at the 2007 Wine Experience named it their favorite seminar of the weekend, it was no surprise that the Blind Tasting seminar was back in 2008. Moderated by Wine Spectator editor and publisher Marvin R. Shanken, the seminar featured a panel of seven senior editors, each of whom had chosen a wine to be tasted blind—and identified—by the audience and themselves. Shanken described the process as double-blind because nothing was revealed about the individual wines; each editor knew only his own selection, though not where it would fall in the lineup.
While serious in their intent to illustrate the challenges and opportunities of blind tasting, Shanken and the panelists kept the seminar entertaining, with good-natured jokes at each others' expense.
First, tasting director Bruce Sanderson explained the magazine's official blind tasting process: Wines are received at Wine Spectator offices in Napa, Calif.; New York; San Francisco; and Tuscany, Italy. They're given a code and bagged to conceal their identities. Reviewers know a wine's vintage, region and variety, but they do not know its producer or its cost. Sanderson said, "Anyone that's been involved with blind tasting understands how humbling it is, and also the value of it, in the sense that it puts all the wines on a level playing field." All told, he added, by the end of the year, the editors will have tasted more than 20,000 wines in 2008.
New to this year's seminar was the opportunity for attendees to test their skill at determining which of seven grape varieties comprised the wine they had just tasted. For each wine, the audience entered their guesses on a handheld electronic keypad; the results were projected on screens at the front of the room. As one might expect, guesses for the first wine ranged widely across the spectrum of grapes, and by the sixth and seventh wines, by process of elimination, most voters chose correctly.
|Sommeliers wrapped the wines in foil to disguise their identities.
Servers poured from bottles wrapped in foil. The first was revealed to be Cougar Crest Cabernet Franc Walla Walla 2005 (93 points, $34), chosen by Harvey Steiman for its seductive floral and spicy qualities and because, he admitted, gesturing toward his colleagues onstage, "I thought it would throw these guys for a loop."
The second wine was Quinta do Vallado Touriga Nacional Douro 2006 (92, $55), chosen by Kim Marcus, who noted that in Portugal, varietal bottlings such as this 100 percent Touriga Nacional are few and far between. The wine showed fresh fruit, spice and a minerality typical to the Douro, and Marcus noted that its fermentation in stainless steel and aging in barriques were indicative of Portugal's new wave of modern winemaking.
Wine number three, chosen by James Molesworth, turned out to be Bodega Noemía de Patagonia J. Alberto Río Valley 2007 (91, $55). It's 95 percent Malbec, 5 percent Merlot, and Molesworth noted its up-front raspberry character, graphite note and racy acidity on the finish. James Laube praised the wine for its straightforward and discernible varietal characteristic, something he said too often gets lost in what can be the homogenizing process of modern winemaking.
|Marvin R. Shanken challenges the senior editors to guess the varieties of seven wines.
The fourth wine, a red Burgundy, belonged to Sanderson: Nicolas Potel Echézeaux 2006 (91, $155), which he described as "a little wild, a little unruly in its youth. There are some tannins there, they're fine tannins. In about five to seven years, this will be a beautiful bottle of wine."
Thomas Matthews was responsible for the fifth wine, Bodegas Muga Rioja Reserva Selección Especial 2004 (92, $48). Made from 70 percent Tempranillo from La Rioja Alta, it has "an elegance and acidity, and a certain kind of lift," said Matthews, who also noted the coconut and vanilla flavors lent by American oak, and smokiness resulting from French oak.
Wine number six, La Spinetta Barbera D'Alba Vigneto Gallina 2006 (91, $60), had been chosen by James Suckling, who called it "superversatile" and noted its balance of vanilla and cherry flavors and fresh acidity. Suckling also admitted that he'd been worried about his performance at this tasting because he had roughed up his palate with tequila shots the day before, as he'd made his way to New York from Havana via Cancun, having been on assignment for Wine Spectator sister publication Cigar Aficionado.
|The audience cheers as the favorite wine is revealed.
Whether by process of elimination or, as James Laube joked, because it had "varietal characteristics that were most familiar" to the voting attendees, it seemed no mystery that the final wine, Novy Syrah Santa Lucia Highlands Gary's Vineyard 2006 (93, $32) was Laube's. He called it a "classic Syrah, with white and black pepper, jalapeño, great balance and length."
When asked to choose which wine of the seven they most enjoyed, the highest percentage of the audience chose the Novy, which seemed a fitting homage, given the seminar's context in the California Wine Experience.
Before concluding the seminar, Shanken asked audience members to stand if they had not guessed any of the wines correctly. Two brave attendees, along with one who had guessed all seven correctly, were given all-access passes to next year's Wine Experience, where they can continue to hone their tasting and evaluation skills by sampling hundreds more fantastic wines.

Total darkness fills now the room,
the curtain will surely open soon,
and as they do I can clearly see
a man and woman entering the scene.
A flood of words surround me like a wave.
No time, nor space, just eternity feels safe,
and the words carry me down to the abyss of my soul
a third man is now entering the stage
and it seemed I knew him for an age.
I don't know much but I surely know his role.
The Theatre of my life,
life is dancing, passing by in front of my eyes.
Theatre of my life,
like a shadow, from the past that I left behind
Theatre of my life
I already know this whole play
I saw it before but where I can't say
One of those real famous dramas it might be.
but for sure it meant more than this to me.
Scene for scene,
word for word,
to the stage I'm starting to gaze.
Breath for breath,
line for line,
the play finally is showing its face.
Just as the leading actor is standing in front of a sign.
I realise the play they are showing is mine.
It's me, my life,
my words, my sins
that they are showing on stage!
My thoughts, my past,
my loves, my crimes
they opened a secret cage!
All my desires, all my own history,
was for no one else but now they all can see...
Tears are slowly filling my eyes.
Silence took the upper hand to my lasting cries.
The vague memory of a reality,
is lost in the wake of my insanity.
Not only what I've done,
not only the victories I have won,
but all those little things when you wished others were blind
are being brought to our minds!
Not only what I felt,
not only who I held,
but also who I hurt with my stupid stubbornness,
is being brought back and nothing less!
The past that I have known, the future they have shown,
I can't take anymore, trying to search for the door,
in my locked mind! I'm stumbling through the aisle,
knowing the play's about to end, and soon destiny will be at hand

Do you want to future proof your images …….
DNG, well what is it and should you be using it. Two very good questions….
Well lets start off
The DNG is an open source RAW file format that was developed by Adobe and released in 2004. It does offer some substantial benefits over your camera RAW format so may be worth you considering converting. If you don't you could end up with an archive of images that in the future that you can't open.
The Benefits of DNG
Future Proof
At the moment most camera manufacturers are developing their own Camera RAW format. If you shoot Canon you might have noticed your RAW files end with .CR2, or with Nikon it's .NEF, Olympus its .ORF.
Digital photography is an ever changing medium, camera models come and go and what's to say the RAW formats associated with them might do the same.
These proprietary formats have not been openly documented and whose to say that support from the manufacturer will always be there.
At the moment its hard to imagine not being able to open up say Canon and Nikon RAW files but in the future nothing is guaranteed.
The DNG format is open source,it's not limited to Adobe software like Lightroom and Photoshop. There are also no license restrictions so camera manufacturers could use DNG as their default RAW format instead of their proprietary format. Some camera manufacturers like Leica and Hasselblad already capture in the DNG format.
It is likely that if and when other camera manufacturers adopt a universal format it is likely to be DNG.
Smaller File Size
DNG offers lossless compression, around 15-20% smaller in file sizes than proprietary RAW files without any loss of quality. You also have the option to embed the original RAW file in the DNG which effectively doubles the file size, but this seems to be a bit of an overkill.
No XMP Sidecar Files
XMPs are metadata files that are linked to the original RAW file (.xmp).
They are text files that contain instructions about how the file should be processed. If you're using a program like Adobe Camera RAW or Lightroom to edit your images any changes to the sliders like exposure and temperature would be stored in theXMP file.
Because the XMP data is a separate file it can get lost, corrupted or deleted. Depending on your folder settings in windows it may not display the XMP files at all. Where they are displayed sometimes people don't know what they are and delete them. The great thing with the DNG format is the the XMP data is included in the DNG file, so you don't have to worry about the XMP data getting separated from the original DNG. Makes things quite a bit simpler.
Embedded File Verification
The DNG format includes a feature that can detect file corruption. With regular RAW files it can be impossible to detect as the XMP file is separate. This is a pretty important archival feature for an image format to have.
Where You Can Convert To DNG
Using Lightroom you can convert to DNG right on import.
Or you can select "Convert Photos to DNG…" from the Library Menu in the Library Module.
In Adobe Bridge there is the Photo Downloader which offers an option to convert to DNG as a preset.
You can also use a free stand alone DNG conversion tool.
Should You Convert JPEGs To DNG?
It is possible to convert JPEGs to DNG but the benefits are limited. JPEG is already a standard image format that will be supported far into the future. By converting to DNG you do gain most of the benefits listed above but you also increase the file size a little.
The big advantage is that by converting JPEGs to DNG you gain the non-destructive characteristic of RAW and DNG files. The biggest reason not to convert JPEGs to DNG is that the JPEG format is already compressed and missing a lot of the original image data. It makes a lot more sense to capture in RAW and convert to DNG than to capture in JPEG and convert to DNG.
My Approach
I shoot in the RAW format (Canon .CR2). I use Lightroom for my main editing software and use the DNG option on import so don't think about it any more it just happens as part of my workflow. I plug in a memory card from a shoot, Lightroom opens up and my import preset takes care of the rest.
Working with DNGs has been just as easy as working with proprietary RAW files. There's no real difference in how you edit the files or the quality of the photos.
In my opinion DNG is a win win win situation, smaller file size, lossless compression and future proof… magic.

Jess Hamm, from Jacksonville, Florida, had always wanted to be a mother, but never had kids of her own.
Instead, she works as a nurse at Wolfson Children's Hospital, treating the many young patients who come through each day like family.
But when she crossed paths with one young patient, Hamm knew it was life-changing.
It all started when a 14-month-old girl named Delilah was brought to the hospital's pediatric intensive care unit—in shockingly poor condition.
The girl was severely malnourished and had several broken bones, including a fractured skull. She was too weak to even hold a bottle.
Hamm was devastated as she realized the girl was being abused at home.
"My heart was broken," she told WJAX. "She was just so lifeless, but she still held onto my finger."
As Hamm took care of the emaciated toddler, she knew the girl would need something more—and felt in her heart that she could give it to her.
"I was like 'oh my gosh, I'm going to take her home,'" Hamm said.
She decided to adopt Delilah herself!
But, there was a twist.
Hamm began the process of adopting Delilah through the Florida Department of Children and Families … and learned that Delilah wasn't alone.
She had a twin sister named Caroline!
Caroline was also in the hospital. Hamm knew she couldn't separate the sisters—so she did something remarkable:
She agreed to adopt both twins!
Now being raised in a loving home, the young twins are developing well. Hamm reads to them and teaches them words, and they now know how to tell their adoptive mother "I love you."
It was a life-saving twist of fate for the girls, but it was also a dream come true for Hamm. She never seriously considered adopting before, but once she saw these girls she knew it was meant to be.
"I hope when people hear my story it opens them up to the possibilities of adopting," Hamm told WJAX.

May really just flew by, and we are finally having some sort of spring. Sort of. (I'll take it!)
Posts This Month: A Beginner's Guide to Self Tan // April Recap // April Link Love // Terribly Dry Skin? Try Amlactin! // Smoky Eyes with NARSissist // African Botanics Marula Mineral Cleansing Mask // My Perfume Collection // Sunday Riley Effortless Breathable Tinted Primer // Dove Creme Mousse // Everyday Staples from Nars // OSEA Malibu Blemish Balm // Blueberries for Your Face // It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness // April & May Empties // Love It or Toss It #7
Products I Loved:
This month has just been super light when it comes to product usage overall. I can't say I even wore a whole week's worth of makeup! I haven't even tried all of the stuff I got last month. In any event, I've been loving the Pai Rosehip Regenerating Oil and the Louise Young LY39 Eyeshadow Brush. Can't wait to try more by both brands!
Beauty Purchases:
I've really been considering my shopping habits and kept it pretty minimal this month. I repurchased Elemental Herbology Detox Bath Oil and got a By Terry Baume de Rose mini, got some goodies from Gummy's blog sale, and picked up a few things from the drugstore. Oh, and I got a bubble bar from Lush. Not too bad, thank goodness!
Added to the Wishlist:
As usual, my wishlist is growing. I'm particularly intrigued by the new eyeshadows coming out soon from Burberry, I still have my eye on recent releases from Armani, and I desperately want some Hakuhodo. In the shoe world, I'm dying over these studded Burberry wellies and this awesome sandal from Zara. Oh, and can someone get me some Lululemon for my birthday? ;)
Last but not least, I thought I would share this month's little skating practice video, even with a bit filmed in slow motion!
What have you been up to this month?? Did you love or hate anything? Go on a shopping spree? I'd love to know!


text: "Do we inflate the menace of Islamic Jihad in order to justify the war in Afghanistan?" Robert Wright wonders if our simplification of Muslim motives squeezes relevant facts out of picture. "It's only natural to attribute to your enemy more cohesion and menace than is in order. We used to do this with communism, and now we do it with radical Islam — and radical Muslims, for their part, do it with us. It's a temptation we all have to fight. Maybe if we fought it as hard as we fight other enemies, we'd have fewer of them," says Wright.

My picks for 2008: Top 11 People and lists reporting on and/or predicting breakthroughs in Science and Technology. You'll notice I cheated a lot; but, I still left a LOT of stuff out:
Original, July 13, 2006 http://www.kurzweilai.net/articles/art0683.html?printable=1
Of the three primary revolutions underlying the Singularity (G, N, and R), the most profound is R, which refers to the creation of nonbiological intelligence that exceeds that of unenhanced humans. A more intelligent process will inherently outcompete one that is less intelligent, making intelligence the most powerful force in the universe.
While the "R" in GNR stands for robotics, the real issue involved here is strong AI (artificial intelligence that exceedshuman intelligence). The standard reason for emphasizing robotics in this formulation is that intelligence needs an embodiment, a physical presence, to affect the world. I disagree with the emphasis on physical presence, however, for I believe that the central concern is intelligence. Intelligence will inherently find a way to influence the world, including creating its own means for embodiment and physical manipulation. Furthermore, we can include physical skills as a fundamental part of intelligence; a large portion of the human brain (the cerebellum, comprising more than half our neurons), for example, is devoted to coordinating our skills and muscles.
Artificial intelligence at human levels will necessarily greatly exceed human intelligence for several reasons. As I pointed out earlier machines can readily share their knowledge. As unenhanced humans we do not have the means of sharing the vast patterns of interneuronal connections andneurotransmitter-concentration levels that comprise ourlearning, knowledge, and skills, other than through slow,language-based communication. Of course, even this methodof communication has been very beneficial, as it has distinguished us from other animals and has been an enabling factor in the creation of technology.
Human skills are able to develop only in ways that have beenevolutionarily encouraged. Those skills, which are primarily based on massively parallel pattern recognition, provide proficiency for certain tasks, such as distinguishing faces, identifying objects, and recognizing language sounds. But they're not suited for many others, such as determining patterns in financial data. Once we fully master pattern-recognition paradigms, machine methods can apply these techniques to any type of pattern.2

BOSTON — He predicted the fall of the Soviet Union. He predicted the explosive spread of the Internet and wireless access.
Now futurist and inventor Ray Kurzweil is part of distinguished panel of engineers that says solar power will scale up to produce all the energy needs of Earth's people in 20 years.
There is 10,000 times more sunlight than we need to meet 100 percent of our energy needs, he says, and the technology needed for collecting and storing it is about to emerge as the field of solar energy is going to advance exponentially in accordance with Kurzweil's Law of Accelerating Returns. That law yields a doubling of price performance in information technologies every year.
Kurzweil, author of "The Singularity Is Near" and "The Age of Intelligent Machines," worked on the solar energy solution with Google Co-Founder Larry Page as part of a panel of experts convened by the National Association of Engineers to address the 14 "grand challenges of the 21st century," including making solar energy more economical. The panel's findings were announced here last week at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
