A lot of guys do what I do and that's they buy/trade or seek out big beers like The Abyss because they hear it's good. My '08-'11 Abyss Vertical was completed 2 months ago yet I've just been sitting on them. I guess it's just cool to look at a vertical and feel special about it. Fuck that. You have to open up some beers if you want to actually enjoy them. How was I to know I even liked Abyss? I didn't so I opened one up. Here's the review.
adamjackson (390) – Canaan, New Hampshire, USA – JUN 26, 2012
A – Nice hiss while removing the cap. Poured a 2-Finger coffee & leather colored head. Head subsided to a quarter finger over 5 minutes and left behind a small film of bubbles. The beer was midnight black, semi-thick pour but not as oily as I expected. Decent head lacing, slight alcohol legs but nothing too intense. Expected for 11%
S – I can smell the beer from 2 feet away. Up close, I'm getting a big coffee with chocolate syrup scent. The licorice bombs out on the back of my nostrils leaving behind an intense milk chocolate sweetness. Hints of bourbon but nothing overpowering.
T – Wow. Okay, I don't quite know where to start. First taste is the bourbon followed by sweet vanilla and peppery licorice. I get this dry roasted almost biting chocolate espresso bean taste that fades away leaving behind an oaky chocolate sweetness that fades to a bitter oakiness over the course of about 30 seconds.
M – The mouthfeel is slick and surprisingly thin for an Imperial Stout. On a very vigorous mouth swish, I only get about 30% carbonation mouth feel. Medium to heavy body and A super oaky sweet finish that reminds me a lot of cane syrup fresh from our farm.
O – This is a fantastic beer. The Imperial Stout category has seen a lot of changes in the last few years. Abyss holds its own against a lot of huge beers. Stoked to finally try this.

Welsh Questions, where no-one mentions the weather
Something rather strange happened in the House of Commons today.
Welsh Secretary David Jones and his deputy Stephen Crabb fielded questions from MPs for more than 20 minutes before anyone raised the issue of the Welsh assembly's powers. It is possibly the longest Welsh MPs have gone without mentioning constitutional reform. An entire question time passed without reference to the Barnett formula. Perhaps it was a collective parliamentary dare, bet or they were being sponsored.
Labour's Susan Elan Jones broke the silence on the Silk commission on devolution in Wales. The Clwyd South MP asked David Jones about his maiden speech as an AM - the one I highlighted yesterday in which Mr Jones indicated his opposition to the assembly having tax-raising powers.
Ms Elan Jones asked: "Isn't surely the reason that you now want income tax devolved to Wales is to cut public services and cut taxes for the rich?"
David Jones: "Rather than concentrating on what I said in 2002, she ought to listen to what [Shadow Welsh Secretary] Owen Smith said only last week. The Labour government do not want income tax devolved to Wales. The Conservative and Liberal coalition government here in Westminster do."
Mr Smith used his questions to ask for an apology for the "political motivations" that lay behind the miners' strike and the pit closure programme of the 1980s "and poured thousands of Welsh people onto the dole". He told Stephen Crabb a miner in his constituency had not worked for 30 years as a result: "The papers should be published in full so we can know the truth".
Mr Crabb told him: "I'm not going to be drawn on this specific issue. The minister acknowledged there was problem with long-term unemployment but said welfare reform would help the people affected. He admitted: "The recovery is a patchy one but there's a positive picture emerging for Wales."
Plaid Cymru's Elfyn Llwyd raised long-term youth unemployment, which he said had quadrupled in recent years. He wanted the UK government to access European funds to tackle the problem.
Tory Simon Hart raised access to mental health support for military veterans. One veteran in Carmarthenshire, he said, had been told he would have to wait up to eight months for "urgent mental health treatment" he would get in seven to 10 days in England. David Jones said the military covenant gave veterans early access to treatment.
Labour's Geraint Davies complained that the nearest inpatient care available for veterans was in Shropshire, Surrey or Scotland. He suggested care could be based in St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan.
Otherwise, Welsh questions followed its regular path. Tory MP Michael Fabricant mentioned his Mam (she speaks Welsh, you know). He criticised the Welsh government's record on education. So did Redditch Tory MP Karen Lumley, whose children went to primary school in Wrexham. David Jones said he hoped Welsh Education Minister Huw Lewis would "emulate" reforms implemented in English schools.
Another English Tory, Southend's Tory David Amess said his "Welsh relatives" had noticed the economy was improving. SNP MP Angus McNeil asked for a reduction in VAT from 20% to 5% to help the tourist industries and "scenic" constituencies such as his own as, to pluck one from thin air, Carmarthen East and Dinefwr.
Curiously, no-one mentioned the weather or raised the earlier announcement, via Twitter, that David Jones (who earlier attended the UK government's COBR emergency committee) had called Welsh First Minister Carwyn Jones "to offer military assistance should [it] be needed in Wales" to deal with flooding.
No-one questioned this apparent coup at the Ministry of Defence or the apparent devolution of the Army; or indeed why the offer wasn't made during the extreme weather that battered Aberystwyth and other parts of Wales early last month.
Welsh question time even finished prematurely, as MPs ran out of questions, delivering an early kick-off for prime minister's questions. The Speaker hid his disappointment well.

Vehicle insurance policies fees are prohibitive at present. Lots of people actually wrestle to pay the car insurance policies monthly bill monthly. cheapest car insurance in singapore And automobile insurance rates range constantly. Therefore if auto insurance coverage price tag is an issue for you, what can you do over it?
The car insurance policies business is usually a massive sector. It is additionally a highly aggressive just one, and automobile insurance policy fees vary about time as car coverage companies contend for company. Car or truck insurance premiums tend to be remarkably fluid.
It truly is entirely attainable to reduce the expense of your vehicle coverage prices by altering your conduct, therefore you can perform this by using a much better idea of how the costs are assessed.
Motor vehicle insurance coverage costs are depending on an assessment of hazard. While insurance providers fluctuate their charges to compete with other insurance firms, additionally they range their charges based upon their evaluation from the possibility posed by a specific driver driving a selected car or truck. They are doing this due to the fact there isn't a position in purchasing enterprise with very low car insurance policy fees and then insuring substantial threat motorists at these fees. This is a recipe for shedding money.
So, in case you lower your chance, you reduce your car or truck coverage. How can you
reduce your possibility? Nicely there is a number of ways in which your own driving and motor vehicle conduct can influence your automobile insurance fees.
Use a look at the vehicle you push. Can it be ideal for your present-day desires? Otherwise then would it not be worthwhile to consider a change?

How long have you had your car and would it be wise to think about an additional one which might be more affordable to insure and much more helpful for you?
Do you think you're a secure driver? Does one stick with the speed limit? Have you been prone to other driving offences? Many people today tend not to contemplate a lot of the repercussions of rushing tickets and driving offences until finally when they have witnessed their subsequent vehicle insurance coverage monthly bill.
Your possibility profile can be a immediate final result of your respective driving report. A clean up driving record and you may be rewarded by less costly premiums. A poor driving history and you will be penalised, usually for fairly a while.
Have you been willing to show up at driver coaching programs? Quite a few motor vehicle insurance coverage companies offer you distinct bargains for motorists that have attended a course. Why? Lower possibility.
Do you think you're willing to drive significantly less? Could you vehicle pool or use general public transport to receive to work? Vehicle coverage companies have a look at the amount of driving their clientele do when evaluating their motor vehicle insurance policies costs. Why? Lessen danger. Much less miles driven equals considerably less risk. And you will save on other car or truck costs much too.
Therefore if car insurance plan costs are a concern in your case and also your family members you can find things you can perform. They are just a couple of individuals issues, there are plenty of more. Vehicle insurance policies costs usually are not set in stone.

Live re(p)laying of HTTP requestsby liz (Monsignor)
|on Jun 25, 2004 at 19:07 UTC ( #369720=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
liz has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I'm looking for an easy way to re(p)lay HTTP requests, sent to one (live) server, immediately (or later) to another (test) server, for both GET and POST requests. With as little interference as possible on the original (live) server.
The way I figure it, this would ideally be a module that would install itself as an Apache PerlHandler in a mod_perl environment. This module would take the request object and write out the input headers, method, URL etc. to a log file or syslog daemon in some format.
Another (part of the) module would be capable of reading the log file and sending an identical request to a (test) server of choice. This could be either a direct relay (when reading the log file with a tail -f) or a delayed replay (whenever you want to process the log file).
I've looked at HTTP::Recorder and WWW::Mechanize, but they seem to be overkill (and I don't want to add the extra complexity of a proxy server).
Is there such a beast already? If not, would it make sense to make such a beast?

Every Friday Night
Then we get a bath
and come back downstairs to make popcorn.
We heat up 2 tablespoons of coconut oil on medium-high heat.
Then add half a cup of good quality corn kernels. Cover and remove from the heat when the popping slows considerably. Add a generous amount of salt.
I divide most of the popcorn into three cups
and also break out the junk food. Just this once.
Junk food includes juice.
While I'm doing this the kids get their favorite stuffed animals and cover the couch with blankets.
Then we watch a movie or a new show. We've watched The Grinch, Brave, The Lorax, Doc McStuffins, and so many more.
I had to share this with you because we do this every Friday night and it's something we all look forward to all week long.
Do you have something you do every week? Pizza night? A special family dinner?

Growing up, we had "Friday night pizza and a movie", too! And sometimes my Dad made popcorn--it was the best. Other times we were aloud to have ice cream. It was a big deal--such a treat. :)

So cute! I love Amy's pizza!
- March 8, 2013 at 3:52 PM
awwwwwww, this totally reminds me of my childhood! My family always had pizza Fridays when I was living at home and we'd watch movies together. Makes me miss home. Your kids will never forget this, trust me!

We love The Lorax at our house! And popcorn:)

Movie nights are awesome! Tomorrow night I'm planning on Wreck it Ralph and a giant batch of popcorn. I love making my own. I do drizzle on the butter too, but that's the only difference. We don't have a set movie night, but we do them quite often(3x a month probably). Big ol quilt spread on the floor, giant bowl of popcorn and the kids snuggled in...it's the best thing in the world!
- March 8, 2013 at 11:35 PM
We like to do Pizza Fridays too! Was a hard and fast tradition before we moved to FL and gluten-free pizza is not nearly as available as it was back in Raleigh. But I still try to do it whenever I can :) Thanks for the popcorn tips - going to have to try that very soon

In the Seattle Times, critic Paul deBarros tells of a man named Bill Carter finding in a storage container "a treasure chest from the golden age of jazz." The unearthing may not equal the importance of the discovery by another Carter—Howard—of King Tut's tomb, but it is creating excitement among devotees of classic mainstream jazz. deBarros writes:
Among the hundreds of tapes Carter retrieved from that container was a recording of a 1956 Seattle concert that featured Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, the Modern Jazz Quartet and Stan Getz — yes, all on the same show.
Hard to believe, but proof positive has arrived with "Jazz at the Philharmonic: Seattle 1956…
That JATP concert also included Sonny Stitt, Roy Eldridge and Gene Krupa, among others. The recording is being released today. To get the whole story, click here.
Long after the era of this post card, I heard a lot of music in the old Civic Auditorium, including the JATP concert deBarros writes about. I listened there to, among others, Frank Sinatra at the height of his powers, Dmitri Mitropoulos conducting the New York Philharmonic, and guitarist Andres Segovia all alone on the stage of that big old barn, playing to a full house. After a Dave Brubeck Quartet concert, I stood backstage at the edge of a crowd of Seattle musicians as Eugene Wright explained how to count in 5/4, a time signature with which Brubeck and company had recently intrigued the jazz world. "You've got to think, '1,2,3 – 1,2'" he said. "If you try to count 1,2,3,4,5," you won't swing."
In the mid-1950s, the big sign outside the Civic bore a message that became a part of jazz lore:

(Dana had to buy these dress shoes from a guy in the airport just so he could tell $kala to get his shine box, but it was worth it.)
In an interview on ESPN's Bill Simmons' podcast last week, Dana White made a pretty lofty claim that certain MMA websites are receiving money from his promotion's competitors to include fighters on their pound-for-pound and weight-class restricted rankings lists.
Pointing to the inclusion of WAMMA champion Fedor Emelianenko on the majority of heavyweight and pound-for-pound lists, White stated that he emphatically believes that there is money changing hands between certain sites and particular fight organizations.
"He's not even the best heavyweight in the world. To put him on the pound-for-pound list. I think some of these guys don't even know what pound-for-pound means," White said. "It's just so disrespectful to all the other fighters it's crazy."
The UFC president, who owns a meager 10% share in the multi-billion dollar promotion, says that the majority of MMA news and blog sites are in the sport for the money…Hold on…I got brain freeze from my UFC Slurpee…OK…
Where was I?
I can count the number of MMA reporters that I know who make a living in the sport on two hands and the reality is that most writers work for free for years before they get their first payday, so I'm taking this comment with a grain of salt.
"Most of these goofy MMA sites, what you have to understand is, these guys are in it for the money. They get paid from all the smaller promotions. They get paid a lot of money from the smaller promotions. So they feel like they have to put some of their guys," asserted White. "That's the way it works. It's sick and drives me crazy. It's not a real pound-for-pound list. Either they don't know pound-for-pound is or the obvious is they're being paid."
Although he didn't name the sites that he alleges are involved in such shady practices, his comments were in direct response to Simmons' inquiry about Sherdog's current P-4-P list.
In his defense, White debated that his own fighter, Jon Fitch, and a fighter he has long coveted and may soon sign, Jake Shields, shouldn't be on Sherdog's list either.
I guess Dana forgot about all the controversy he created when he brought up the fact that his company had paid radio DJ Scott Ferrall to attend and favorably cover UFC events. Glass houses.

Almost exactly four years after authorities shut down Allen Stanford's $7 billion Ponzi scheme, his investors could finally get some of their money back—but it won't be much.
The court-appointed receiver rounding up Stanford's assets has asked a federal judge for permission to distribute $55 million to some 17 thousand investors. The distribution, the first since Stanford's assets were frozen in February, 2009, would amount to less than 1.3 cents on the dollar. (Read More: Allen Stanford: Descent from Billionaire to Inmate.)
Nonetheless, an attorney for receiver Ralph Janvey said the proposed distribution is a major milestone for thousands of investors.
"These investors were the primary source of both the funds that fueled the Stanford Ponzi scheme and the funds recovered by the Receiver," attorney Kevin Sadler wrote in a court filing requesting the distribution.
Janvey's recovery efforts have been hampered by litigation fighting his attempts to claw back proceeds from the Stanford scam, and by the fact that the vast majority of the funds are believed to be in offshore accounts.
Stanford's conviction last year on 13 criminal counts was supposed to help authorities access those funds. But an estimated $300 million in Canada, Switzerland and Great Britain remains tied up in forfeiture proceedings, according to the filing.
Stanford, who is serving a 110-year prison sentence, is appealing his conviction. (Read More: White Collar 'Country Club' Prisons? Not So Much.)
With so little money available to return to investors, Janvey recommends that thousands of former Stanford employees and contractors be excluded from this first distribution, giving outside investors top priority.
"Claimants who never worked for a Stanford entity and who lost money in the Ponzi scheme are the primary (and most desperate) victims off the Stanford scheme," the filing said. (Read More: Allen Stanford Investors Face Long Haul to Recover Money.)
While the proposed $55 million payout is a tiny percentage of the investor losses in the scam, it is also a fraction of the $108 million in expenses the receivership had run up as of last May, according to a court filing. Angela Shaw, founder of the Stanford Victims Coalition, said the payout is too little, too late.
"It is a very harsh reality the Stanford Financial Group empire had more cash on hand the day the companies were taken into receivership almost four years ago than is now available for the victims," Shaw wrote in a statement. "Sadly, if checks had been cut on February 17, 2009, the victims would have recovered dramatically more of their lost savings than they can now expect from the Receiver's distribution."
(Read More: Wall Street Jailbirds.)
In an email to CNBC, attorney Kevin Sadler said Janvey hopes to distribute more funds to investors soon, especially if he can reach an agreement with liquidators in Antigua, home of the offshore bank at the heart of the scheme.
"Then, millions in foreign assets currently frozen overseas can become available for additional distributions," Sadler said.
The Stanford Ponzi scheme was based on certificates of deposit issued by the Antiguan bank. A federal jury found last year that the CDs, which were supposedly backed by sound investments like real estate and equities, were in fact largely used to finance Allen Stanford's lavish lifestyle.

In its judgment, the Court considered the EU Council's re-listing of IOEC on grounds that it was an "important entity" in Iran's energy sector which "provides financial and logistical support to the government of Iran".
IOEC had successfully applied to annul its designation in September 2013. The EU Council subsequently relisted IOEC for providing "financial and logistical support to the Government of Iran" in November 2013.
In its judgment, the court considered that "logistical support" was not limited to transport activities, but included a broad range of different types of support which address the government's logistical needs. The court concluded that this covered IOEC's role in the construction and installation of offshore facilities, on which the Iranian oil and gas industry was effectively dependent, and upheld IOEC's designation as it provides logistical support to the Iranian government

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal held a rare meeting Monday in the Gulf nation of Qatar and agreed to move forward with a reconciliation deal between their rival political movements.
The Palestinian split goes back to 2007 when the Islamic militant group Hamas seized Gaza from the Western-backed Abbas, leaving him with only parts of the West Bank. The split weakened Abbas' position in peace talks with Israel.
Just before the latest round of those negotiations formally ended last month, Hamas and Abbas made a new attempt to reconcile. On April 23, they reached an agreement to form a unity government and hold new elections in what could mark a historic step toward mending the rift that has split the Palestinians between two sets of rulers.
Hamas spokesman Hussam Bardan said that Abbas and Mashaal met in the Qatari capital, Doha, and "agreed to go ahead with implementing the recent agreement."
It was their first face-to-face meeting in more than a year.
Mashaal has been based in Doha since 2012, having left his former base of Syria to avoid siding publicly with Syria's embattled president, Bashar Assad.
The Palestinian ambassador to Qatar, Munir Ghanem, told reporters that the meeting at Doha's waterfront Ritz-Carlton hotel was an opportunity to discuss procedural matters related to the caretaker government.
He described the talks as positive and a step in the right direction toward the implementation of the April agreement.
Mashaal's office was also upbeat, saying in a statement that the two men "expressed their real willingness to open a new page, based on national partnership."
The April agreement calls for the two sides to form an interim government within five weeks, with presidential and parliamentary elections held at least six months after the government is formed.
Similar agreements have been reached in principle in the past, only to break down over deep differences and an unwillingness to cede power.
Associated Press writer Mohammed Daraghmeh in Ramallah, West Bank contributed reporting.

The demise of speaking and listening
I might begin blogging again. Bored with FB. Never liked Twitter. Might even have something to talk about, like the draft National Curriculum for English. What has happened to speaking and listening? Did it get left out of my draft by mistake. I found the reciting poetry bit for 6 year olds. Could be fun, but this really isn't sufficient to my mind. We shall see.

Orient Aviation's Week in the Asia-Pacific
By Dominic Lalk
This week in Asia-Pacific aviation was all about innovation. Airbus, Routehappy, Cathay Pacific Airways and Singapore Airlines launched a visual merchandising platform at this week's ITB travel trade show in Berlin that is said will change the way passengers search for flights and make purchasing decisions.
In Thailand, Nok Air continues operating deep in the red and is looking to sublease a part of its fleet. Its parent, Thai Airways International (THAI), also is pursuing alternative revenue streams. This week it signed an MRO joint venture agreement with Airbus.

Dear Tony,I'm not one of the most eloquent writers here on this board. Often I struggle to find the right words to say. I hope you understand. I just felt I needed to write something after reading the news about you losing you job at TMF.One of my first posts on TMF was on the credit card board. I had a question about how to deal with the theft of my credit cards. You answered with a wealth of information in a gracious manner. Following your instructions and encouragement, I was able to resolve my fraud problem. While I was there, I started reading post about how to get rid of my credit card debt. Through the encouragement from you and others, I decided to tackle the huge mountain of debt I had accrued. In all the post I read from you, I saw a kind, person who wanted to focus on people improving their financial situation, not the failures of how they got in trouble. While the struggle was tough for me, eventually I was able to succeed in getting rid of over $30,000 in debt. Your advice was always well thought out and you often interlaced this with some fun and humor along the way. During my struggles, I came across your board, "Aruba's Island of Revenge". This is still my favorite board. Sure there has been some heated debates and I'm sure I've ruffled a few people here and there, but overall the people who post to this board are as kind and as caring as you. The people who I have met here have always made a bad day seem not so bad.While I understand the financial reasons for what TMF did. I still feel sorrow and pain from what these layoffs have caused. While some people will feel that one person was no more important than another at TMF, from my prospective it is different.The advice you provided me and your humor along the way kept me going toward my financial freedom. For all of this I am truly grateful. Words cannot express my gratitude I feel.You have truly embodied the motto of The Motley Fool: "To Educate, Amuse and Enrich". I have been educated, enriched, and most certainly definatly amused by you. Thank you for all the kind words and encouragement you have provided. I wish you the best of luck in the future.Sincerely,Lenny…Debt free since Jan 2000

Doctor Who is heading for another dimension – a 3D film to celebrate the sci-fi show's 50th anniversary.
The movie-length episode will be shown at cinemas in Britain and around the world at the same time as it is screened on BBC1 in November.
A BBC source said: "Filming for the anniversary episode starts in two weeks and there is a real buzz about it, especially because it will be in 3D.
"It is being planned as a TV movie to mark 50 years of the show. It will be the highlight of the celebrations. The episode has been written but we don't really know yet whether it will be an hour, 75 minutes or 90 minutes."
Stars of the drama – including Matt Smith who plays the Doctor, and Jenna-Louise Coleman, his sidekick Clara Oswald – received the scripts last week.
And the first hint that it would be a film-length episode came on Friday as Doctor Who actors promoted the new series, which starts on March 30.
Referring to the 50th birthday show, Matt said: "I read the script and I clapped at the end. It's hilarious, epic and vast. You won't be disappointed."
He added: "We are upping the scale of everything. I won't say anything about the length but there is a bit more for your buck."
Insiders said the BBC had given Dr Who writer Steven Moffat "free rein" to decide how long it would be – the episodes are usually 45 minutes long. A DVD with behind-the-scenes footage is also being planned.
The anniversary in November will also be marked with a 90-minute BBC2 drama on how the show was created and a fan event at the London Excel.

A new law that went into effect June 1, 2016 requires rental cars under recall to be fixed.
It's legislation a long time in the making. The law means rental car companies must fix any and all open safety defects before renting out vehicles to customers. (Some rental car agencies were already doing so, but not all of them.)
Existing regulations had a much more narrow scope, effectively only prohibiting new-car dealers from selling vehicles with known defects. Some rental companies voluntarily kept their fleets up to date with the latest repairs, however, there had been no legal mandate to follow such practices.
Congress recently passed the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act of 2015, championed by the family of sisters who died in a rental vehicle that had been left unrepaired. Companies with fleets of more than 35 vehicles are now required to fix defects.
"It's critical that every recalled vehicle, whether new, used, rented or leased, is repaired as soon as possible," said NHTSA administrator Mark Rosekind. "Rental agencies operate some of the largest fleets, so this law will go a long way in ensuring the cars and trucks on the road are safe."
The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration has been given expanded authority to enforce the new law, which went into effect June 1.

Iyad Allawi, a member of Iraq's Governing Council, has told the Arab newspapers Al-Hayat and Asharq al-Awsat that during his interrogation, Saddam Hussein has confessed to looting billions of dollars from Iraq and stashing it in banks around the world. The Governing Council estimates that Saddam may have stolen $40 billion.
The most interesting part of Allawi's report, as quoted in Asharq al-Awsat, is the following:
"Saddam has started to give information on money that has been looted from Iraq and deposited abroad. Investigation is now concentrated on his relationship with terrorist organizations and on the money paid to elements outside Iraq."
Those are two topics in which we have an intense interest. As usual with reports from members of the Council, other Council members dispute Allawi's claims.

It's amazing how many images the world's photographers produce! Professional or not, images surround us in our everyday lives. What makes successful photographers stand out? What drives us to revisit the same images over and over?
All images tell a story. Whether they're produced as works of art, on assignment for National Geographic, or as part of a family vacation, images say more than just a shutter speed, ISO, or aperture setting. We make images for a reason.
Storytellers, by photographer/teacher Jerod Foster, is the Photographers guide to developing themes and creating stories with pictures ... it focuses on visual storytelling and how a deep knowledge of your process and your personal vision can create stronger images. Storytelling often requires the use of certain lenses, apertures, or light modifiers, but the story is what holds everything together. To become a better storyteller you will explore:
- Composition, light, depth of field, and motion and how to properly use your camera technically to dig deeper.
- Visual themes and how they provide stories with interest and depth
- Types of shots and shooting styles and what they convey in your images
- Research and ways to conceptualize your story before shooting
- Strategies for developing your own effective storytelling workflow during and after the shoot.
This beautifully written and illustrated guide will help you connect the how-tos of digital photography with the who, what, when, where and why of storytelling to bring your vision and your images to life!

CCTV shows moped-riding robber in camera theft bid
Footage showing a moped-riding robber kick a man in the face and drag him along a street while trying to steal his camera has been released by police.
The victim - a 20-year-old architecture student - was taken to hospital for emergency dental treatment .
He had been taking photographs in East India Dock Road in Tower Hamlets, east London, when he was attacked at round 1.45pm on December 23.
A moped robber kicks a man in the face and drag him along a street while trying to steal his camera in East India Dock Road in Tower Hamlets (Metropolitan Police/PA)
The CCTV shows the attacker try to take the camera and, when the victim refuses to hand it over, pull him to the floor and kick him repeatedly in the face before jumping on a moped ridden by another person.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Someone shouted at him to look out for a moped and, moments later, the passenger on the bike got off, jumped over nearby railings and grabbed the victim's camera.
"Refusing to let go, the suspect kicked the victim several times and tried to steal his photographic equipment."
Footage from the road shows the attacker and the rider of the white moped.
The first is described as wearing dark motorcycle equipment and a black crash helmet, and the second is described as wearing a red jacket, dark trousers and a black helmet.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Tower Hamlets CID on 101 quoting reference number 198758 (suspect 1) or 198759 (suspect 2), or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

EFS Network is staking its future on machine-to-machine trading rather than on Web-based e-commerce.
Chicago-based EFS will use standard telephone connections to legacy machines when it initiates trading next month among food service companies and manufacturers.
"Our role is to be the black box, allowing companies to manage orders whether they come in EDI [electronic date interchange], XML e-mail or automated fax," said Hank Lambert, EFS's CEO and former president of Nabisco Inc.'s Foodservice Co. "We translate those orders to the manufacturer's preferred communication protocol. Today, that's not really easy to do with a Web-based product."
EFS, whose name is short for electronic Food service, was founded in August 2000 by Cargill Inc., McDonald's Corp., Sysco Corp. and Tyson Foods Inc. It plans to make money by collecting an unspecified percentage of trading partners' savings.
Since Lambert joined EFS in May, the company has developed a new logo and has built a Web site (www.efsnetwork.com).
"Launching a company is clearly a greater challenge since Sept. 11, but we are focused," Lambert said. "We're building a product that will enable participants to gain cost savings and improve product. In this economy—at a time of recession—the best way to grow the bottom line is to lower costs."

Though already expecting losses from the failed HD DVD business, Toshiba's shareholders were told Wednesday to expect more bad news.
The Japanese electronics giant said the market for NAND flash memory (the kind of chips used in portable gadgets) was weak and expected to get worse, the Wall Street Journal reports.
"We now see prices falling 50 percent this fiscal year, after predicting 40 percent in October," said Executive Vice President Fumio Muraoka.
As a result, Toshiba lowered its expected profit for fiscal year 2007, which ends March 31, to 125 billion yen ($1.26 billion), from the 180 billion yen it said it expected in October.
It shut down its HD DVD business last month, which Toshiba says will result in an operating loss of 65 billion yen, or $658 million, in addition to 45 billion yen, or $455 million, to shut down the operation.

Gastrointestinal (stomach and intestine) problems during exercise (especially high-intensity exercise) are frequent. These may include heartburn, belching, abdominal cramps, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and an urge to defecate.
Whilst physical activity is known to provide several health benefits to the gastrointestinal (GI) system, the physiological changes which occur when exercising can lead to disturbances. During exercise, the amount of blood flow to the GI organs decreases as it is diverted to the working muscles. There are also changes to the rate of gastric emptying and hormone levels. Abdominal muscle contractions and increased diaphragm movements may also contribute to GI symptoms during exercise.
Upper Gastrointestinal Symptoms
These include heartburn, reflux, nausea, vomiting and upper abdominal pain. Chest pain may also be a complaint and as it is sometimes difficult to differentiate between chest pain due to GI or cardiac causes, the patient should be thoroughly assessed to rule out cardiac conditions.
Treatment of upper GI symptoms mainly involves reducing the contents of the stomach during exercise. Meals should not be eaten within 3 hours of exercise and what is eaten should be low in fat and protein.
If further treatment is needed, antacid medication may be helpful in reducing heartburn and upper abdominal pain. Antacid medications are usually effective for 30 minutes. If this is not sufficient a Doctor may prescribe medications such as Ranitidine.
Abdominal Pain
Most cases of abdominal pain during exercise are referred to as a 'stitch' or side stitch (also known as an 'Exercise-related Transient Abdominal Pain' - ETAP). Stitches are very common, especially in running and swimming, with up to 70% of runners experiencing a stitch in the last year.
A stitch can usually be felt to one side of the abdomen (more often the right side), around the area of the lower ribs. The cause of a stitch is not known and there are several theories doing the rounds. These include:
- Eating too close to exercise.
- A cramp in the diaphragm due to a decrease in blood flow.
- Not warming up thoroughly.
- The liver "tugs" on the ligaments which connect the liver to the diaphragm.
In order to relieve a stitch, try stopping, leaning forwards and breathing out hard whilst pressing into the painful area with your fingers. Other treatments include breathing techniques such as belly breathing and altering which foot hits the ground when you exhale. Most people exhale as the left foot hits the ground - try changing this so it's the right foot.
Other causes of abdominal pain in athletes include pain referred from the thoracic spine.
Diarrhea during or after intense exercise (most frequently running) is often referred to as 'runners trots'. The cause of this is unknown although a combination of intestinal ischemia (lack of blood flow), changes in secretion and absorption and increased intestinal movement may be to blame. Other contributing factors in athletes may be the use of certain supplements (vitamins, minerals, caffeine etc).
The treatment of exercise-induced diarrhea may include dietary changes to reduce fibre intake before exercise and if this is not effective, the use of anti-diarrhea medicines. This should not, however, be used on a regular basis.

Not for fans of TKK's earlier work
Stacy | Iowa | 03/04/2002
(2 out of 5 stars)
"i was disapointed with this, its not a bad piece of work in itself but it was not what I was looking for. It is a far departure from their first few releases. if you are a fan of the earlier work they did, I would avoid this. If you are looking for expansion, then give it a try!"
Kiss the serpent... Thrice.... times twice
Kupid Agogo | Marilla, NY United States | 08/22/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"TKK...... there's really no words 2 describe thier sound. They are in a realm of thier own and no one will ever be able 2 touch that artsy creativity. This album is extremely psychedelic-industrial with some of Groovie Mann's most adventurous lyrical work ever. "Badlife" is a slow dance groove with an undeniable catch. "Dimentia66".... that song is in a world of it's own... absolutely brialliant. "Blue Buddha" has a great bass line and seductive lyrics. I think this is one of thier best albums ever, and i can't see how any Kult follower could piss on it. U know.... if u dont like this album because it's not seriously hardcore industrial enough for you, then just shut your mouth.. no one wants 2 hear it. "Delicate Terror" and "Final Blindness" let u know that they have not lost thier dance roots and they never will, and that the best thing about TKK in the 1st place is that they are one of a kind... so love it and shake your [but] 2 this amazing art."
"MLWTTKK", for short.
H3@+h | VT | 04/04/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Though I like their earlier stuff more, this is a solid release from them, and "13 Above The Night" is liked the most by some. Roughly fitting into the techno-industrial genre, this album is full of distorted vocals, driving beats, horns, sex and drug lyrics, and anything else you can imagine. Plus you can dance to it. Overall more like "Lords Of Acid", than say a "Skinny Puppy" kind of sound. Each of their albums are different, but this one pleases like any of the others. It's perfect for a "Disko Fleshpot" who's ready to live the "Badlife"."

The Institute for Healthcare Advancement offers News about Adult LiteracyPosted on 05/11/2016
- The January 2016 issue of Family Medicine reports on a study comparing two approaches to assessing literacy through the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM), interview by telephone and the traditional in-person assessment. REALM administered by telephone was found to be just as effective as the more labor intensive traditional approach.
- From the recent Roundtable on Health Literacy of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, discussion papers and workshop summaries are available.
- In It Together is a modular training curriculum for health departments, health clinics and community-based organizations that deliver health literacy HIV services. Dozens of trainers from many communities offer tailored health literacy training.
- Out of the classroom and into the community: medical students consolidate learning about health literacy through collaboration with Head Start (published April 23, 2016) is a lengthy article describing a community-based service learning program during one academic year as a way for medical students to learn about health literacy and effective communications strategies. The program is a 5-month pediatric obesity effort designed for Head Start children, parents, and staff.

Planning for disaster is one of those things that you just can't put off, because if you do it will truly be too late. Jim Olson, vice president of inside sales and solutions engineering at SunGard Availability Services, reminds us, "When the unexpected occurs – from unplanned downtime to a major disaster – the details and unplanned variables are what always impede a fast recovery. It is important to test the way you recover, and recover the way you test. Practice and experience pays off in a time of crisis."
SunGard Availability Services shared these steps to consider when putting together your own plan.
What Every Small- to Medium-sized Business Needs to Know About Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning
According to the 2007 Best's Underwriting Guide by A.M. Best, only six percent of companies that suffer catastrophic data loss survive, while 43 percent never re-open and 51 percent close within two years of the disaster. It is imperative that SMBs recognize and plan for the potential risks that exist in today's IT-focused climate. Below are five steps to consider when developing a business continuity plan.
Consider a wide range of possible scenarios. Downtime – whether it is a result of a hurricane, fire, power outage, hardware failure or human error – affects your IT infrastructure and ultimately your productivity and bottom-line. When developing a disaster recovery strategy, your company should consider various possible disaster scenarios and plan accordingly.
Understand your time and data requirements. Understand how much time your company can afford to be down – also known as Recovery Time Objective (RTO) – as well as how much data you can afford to lose – Recovery Point Objective (RPO). Armed with this knowledge, your company can monetize your risk by balancing recovery requirements, risk tolerance and how much you are willing to spend on a disaster recovery strategy.
Look to keep your people,systems and information connected. Your business continuity strategy must encompass information, systems, people and processes, as well as the complex interdependencies among them. If your workforce cannot connect to systems and data, there is no business. As part of the planning process, also consider what the best strategy is for your company in managing critical systems and components – either internally, with a managed hosting provider or a combination of both.
Investigate advanced technologies. Disaster recovery technologies have changed considerably in recent years with solutions common in large enterprises, such as replication, vaulting and virtualization, now becoming more accessible to SMBs. With these new powerful yet affordable technologies, it has never been easier for SMBs to achieve even greater precision in recovery timeframes and data points.
Plan and test. Planning involves much more than just backing up your data. Many companies think they have an effective disaster recovery plan, but unless it is tested, it is only a plan on paper and not in reality. It is essential for your company to develop and test your plan so the first time it is executed is not during an emergency. Industry research firm the Yankee Group recommends running a disaster recovery test every quarter to help ensure your protection mechanisms will actually protect you when you need them most.

first of all, English isn't my native language so I may make some mistakes, sorry...
I have a dell inspiron 1525 laptop, working on XP, and a problem that came up when I switched the laptop on. It was working 20 mn before.
the error was: invalid partition table
I tried to watch around the web for similar problems
As some people advice to run Partition Table Doctor, I did, found an error and it fixed it (or at least it said so).
Then, when I boot the computer, the error is gone, but I still cannot access to windows: it keeps on going to the dell diagnostics service.
I checked thoroughlly hard disk drive, with no error. Still no boot possible!
I have some very very important data on this HDD, does someone has an idea about what my problem could be, and then how to save data / launch windows ?
Ask for more information if needed,
edit: cannot repair existing windows, for some reason the OS is named as unknown, I am trying now to install windows on another partition that I can lose...

Twitter is ...(explained in simple words)
Twitter explained in simple words
Twitter is a tool to know what is happening right now anywhere in the world, by updating news yourself or following others who are doing so
How to use Twitter ?
Twitter is free to join website, you can access it using internet, mobile or desktop computer. You become member, you update your status in 140 characters or less (called as "tweets"), you can follow other users for their updates, or you can follow something called "hashtags" to follow updates on a particular topic. Please note, everything you do is visible to entire Twitter community
Twitter Poll
Do you think Twitter will
What Twitter is for ?
Blogs helped people to express their opinions by writing public diaries, Twitter makes blogging easy by restricting it to 140 characters. Doing so, it gets you connected instantaneously, gives you the exposure, but also it may not have the depth you need at times. Most of the times, it just points you to another place on internet to get more information
Twitter website
What is tweeting ?
People tweet about themselves to show off or let others know what they are doing (broadcast themselves), about products and services they do / do not like, events happening around like news, promotions, parties, floods, riots, etc
Brands, companies, organizations tweet to drive positive engagement with their target audience, drive promotional activity, drive online word of mouth, drive activities & news about themselves
How Twitter clicks ?
Twitter is quick, simple and truely connecting everyone everywhere in the world. You can tweet by as easy as sending sms from your mobile. This makes Twitter a global place, where news / events can be reported and transported instantaneously around the globe as they build up
There are enough people, causes, brands, sports, good things going around the world which are newsworthy for normal internet user, this is how the "following someone on Twitter" works
Twitter books
What are Twitter HashTags ?
Twitter HashTags are rather a technical thing. By adding "#" before any word of characters to create some kind of tag and then use that amongst a community, gives ease of searching. For example, to create a common talking topic around "Arsenal", "#Arsenal" can be HashTag and then this can be used by anyone interested in "Arsenal" as part of their status update. This then paves way to search all status updates about "Arsenal"
This is how "Arsenal" football club ranks among the top news items on weekend when Arsenal is playing
When Twitter loses its significance ?
We cannot be partying all the time, we cannot be having discounts on products all the time, we cannot have football matches running all the time, we cannot have election fever all the time. So when life becomes a little non-newsworthy during the course of day or week, people start doing things for the sake of doing. And Twitter loses it significance as it cannot create or talk about news !
But again something comes up and things go around again
Is Twitter just another marketing gimmick ?
For businesses, it is like micro-public relations. It allows them to advertise product news, drive positive opinion about the product / services, meet real consumers and answer their questions online, activate and promote events
How relevant is Twitter in Asia ?
Asia usually follows global trends but then infrastructure becomes the bottleneck. Even though Asia has sizable mobile penetration, smart phones & mobile internet are a luxury. Wireless internet is not so widely accessible, so that everyone can log on and react to an online event. But as infrastructure or online presence improves Twitter will fly, similar to what Facebook did
Will Twitter be the next Google ?
Twitter changed its log in interface some time back to project it as search engine. Its ability to follow real life events in real time, adds lot of relevancy to its results
Twitter account headings appear in major search engines. Recently Bing & Google have been in news for possible tie up to have Twitter results in searches online. This can be a path breaking step, to improve the current search engines, increase mobile search & advertising market, and also to find a business viability option for Twitter from advertising revenue
I use Twitter for
Where is social media taking us ?
As I read somewhere earlier, world is now becoming a small village. In a village, everyone knows everyone else, similar to your tweets on Twitter. But then you have something special about every person, or a community, where small groups follow each other. If someone is getting married, everyone knows, but only people close to the families attend the event. If there is something big happening in the village, like local festival or unusual visit by a celebrity everyone is upto date and gets connected
So now we are moving to that "global village" with social media and more so with Twitter
Share your examples how Twitter has made a difference for you ..

Sea country rights
On 30 July 2008 the High Court of Australia confirmed that traditional owners of the Blue Mud Bay region in north-east Arnhem Land, together with traditional owners of almost the entire Northern Territory coastline, have exclusive access rights to tidal waters overlying Aboriginal land.
Northern Territory coastal and marine areas remain some of the world's most intact environments, rich in natural resources, biodiversity and cultural heritage and support a range of growing regional and local economies and livelihoods.
The coastline of the Northern Territory mainland is 5,100km long and offshore islands contribute a further 2,100km of coastline. Around 84% or 6,050km of this coastline is owned by Aboriginal Traditional Owner groups.
Sea country is important because it is relevant to a large demographic of Aboriginal people. Not only do Traditional Owners have significant land holdings, Aboriginal people make up around 50% of the general population, with greater percentages living in remote coastal areas.
Traditional Owners of sea country also enjoy Native Title rights, exclusive access to closed seas, protection of sacred sites and managing their Indigenous Protected Areas.
Exclusive Access to Intertidal waters
Aboriginal land is privately owned. It is not Crown land, nor public land. Permission must be obtained in accordance with the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 before going onto Aboriginal Land.
This includes access to tidal waters over Aboriginal land. That is, access to the water and land between the high and low tide watermarks requires permission by the land owner. This is regardless of whether you hold a fishing licence issued by the Northern Territory Government.
This right was affirmed on 30 July 2008 by the High Court in its decision on the landmark Blue Mud Bay case (Gawarrin Gumana & Ors vs Northern Territory).
The 'interim' (short-term) arrangement put in place in 2007 that allowed all recreational fishers and commercial operators' access to tidal waters over Aboriginal land ended on 31 December 2016. After almost 10 years, the interim arrangement between the NLC and the Northern Territory Government has not been renewed.
On 24 December 2016, the NLC issued a Public Notice, pursuant to section 5(8) of the Aboriginal Land Act that waived the requirement for a permit to enter tidal waters overlying Aboriginal land for a period of six months, until 30 June 2017. This has since been reissued and the requirement for a permit will now expire on the 31 December 2018. A Public Notice appeared in The NT News on Saturday 2 December 2017.
Read the Information Sheet on Access to Tidal Waters on Aboriginal Land published December 2017.
As of the 1 January 2019, permission will be required for access in accordance with the Aboriginal land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976. Permission for commercial operators can be granted through a s19 Land Use Agreement. Recreational fishers will need to apply for a Permit.
Download the Sea Country Access Map.
Closed Seas
Two sea closures have been Gazetted under the Aboriginal Land Act (1978). They are in the Milingimbi, Crocodile Islands and Glyde River area (1981) and the Castlereagh Bay and Howard Island area (1988). Both closed seas are adjacent to Aboriginal Land and extend 2km seaward of the low tide watermark. Closed seas provide exclusive access to Traditional Owners. Permission from the land owners is required to access closed seas and can be granted through a Work, Transit, Recreational Fishing and Tourist Permit.
Native Title determinations for sea country
Non-exclusive native title determinations cover sea country surrounding Croker Island in west Arnhem Land and in the north region of Blue Mud Bay in east Arnhem Land.
These determinations, in accordance with and subject to traditional laws and customs as recognised rights under common law, provide for Aboriginal people the ability to hunt and gather resources and practice traditions. Native title enables unobstructed access from other competing interests, including commercial operators and recreational interests.
Sacred Sites
All sacred sites are protected in accordance with the Northern Territory Aboriginal Sacred Sites Act (1989). Many sacred sites are registered in sea country. Access is not permitted within 100 metres of any sacred site, though some sacred sites may have more restrictive access. Visit www.aapant.org.au/sacred-sites for more information
Press Release
Northern Land Council extends waiver over intertidal zone
Nov 15, 2017
The Northern Land Council has agreed to extend for one year a waiver under the Aboriginal Land Act which will allow unrestricted access by fishers to the intertidal zone around the Northern Territory.

Symptoms of Eating Disorders
There are two main types of eating disorders: anorexia nervosa and bulimia. Some experts have suggested a third type should be binge eating, but this has not been approved as a psychiatric diagnosis.
People with anorexia nervosa see themselves as overweight. They may have an intense fear of gaining weight or being fat. People suffering from anorexia often complete rituals around meals. They may choose one or two foods and eat only very small portions of those foods or they may avoid certain foods or avoid meals altogether. They may be extremely skinny but feel overweight.
Bulimia nervosa includes periods of binge eating followed by purging of food by methods such as self-induced vomiting, laxatives, diuretics, fasting or excessive exercise. People suffering from bulimia nervosa judge themselves by how their body looks.
Both of these eating disorders have a number of medical complications including heart disease and kidney failure, which can cause serious illness and even death.
It is important, therefore, to recognize eating disorders early and to help those suffering from them seek treatment.
Some signs of all eating disorders:
- Secret vomiting or use of laxatives or diet pills.
- Mood changes, feelings of depression, low self-worth or guilt.
- Intense fear of being fat, preoccupation with their weight or how their body looks.
- Weighing themselves often and repeatedly.
In addition, there are some signs for specific eating disorders:
Anorexia nervosa
- Prepares food for others but will not eat.
- Severe dieting, eating very small portions or limiting food intake to one type of food.
- Exercising compulsively.
- Feeling cold.
- Difficulty paying attention or making decisions.
- Avoiding meals.
Bulimia nervosa
- Weight fluctuation
- Eating large amounts of food in short periods of time
- Hoarding food
- Using bathroom after meals
- Chest pain, muscle pain, dizziness, headaches
- Trouble sleeping
- Broken blood vessels in the eyes
- Discolored teeth
If you know someone who may be suffering from an eating disorder, suggest they talk to someone about a possible eating disorder.

School Wide Student Learning Objectives
A School Wide Student Learning Objective is a long-term academic goal for students. It is specific and measureable, based on available prior student learning data. Objectives focus on areas of need identified by state assessment data or the school strategic/improvement plan. Objectives may focus on subgroups of students, closing gaps, or particular grades and subjects. Objectives may focus on direct academic improvement, or on indicators of student learning such as enrollment in advanced level courses.
