Editor's Note: This story about RV filmmaker John Holod was written by Hal McClure and published by Travel Adventure Cinema.
John Holod, award-winning Travel Adventure filmmaker, marks two decades as a producer with the release of his high definition The Great Rocky Mountain RV Adventure—Part One. You could call him the "Poster Boy of the RV world.*
Before he exchanged his guitar for a film camera in 1990, John enjoyed a varied career that included stints as a country musician and wildlife guide.
Part One of his Rockies film travels from New Mexico to Yellowstone, while Part Two — to be released next year —continues from Yellowstone across the Canadian border to Jasper.
To catch a clip of John Holod's Rockies' films go to: http://www.rvadventurevideos.com/videos.php
His early films were mostly on North America and Europe — often on a motorcycle — until he hitched his career to the recreational vehicle industry a decade ago. His RV films include the most popular RV destinations — Alaska — and the Atlantic Coast — north and south— the Gulf Coast and Baja California.
John shows his films on our travel adventure circuit as well as RV conventions and shows. He appears at many of these venues across the country where he meets his many RV fans who watch his RV filmic adventures, ask questions, and buy his DVDs. (Working with Questar's Albert Nader, John sold more than 4,000 America's Scenic RV Adventures packages — 6 DVD's in each case) — in a short stint, mostly at Sam's Club.)
His films and his role as an RV goodwill ambassador have won him a number of industry awards.
For on-the-road transportation to make and show his films, he drives a 20-foot Roadtrek motorhome with a Mercedes diesel engine loaned to him by its Canadian manufacturer.
While John may be the upfront man for their enterprises, he says he could not do it without the help and support from his wife, Jodie Ginter, whom he calls "my CEO." Jodie often fills in for her husband when the RV and TAC show schedules collide.
Asked about his filmmaking career, he said: "It's been a great ride. I've gotten to do and see things most people only dream about. With a camera in my hand I was able to experience things I could have never done if I was on a regular vacation. I've met wonderful people all over the world and traveled more than 600,000 miles across North America in RVs in the past 12 years alone."
Techie Stuff
John Holod shoots with a Canon XL H1 HD camera, using DV tape. A 300mm lens can be screwed onto the camera lens to give him great close-ups, which is particularly important while filming wildlife. He uses Sennheiser mics for on location audio.
Pinnacle is his choice for editing — on a Hewlett Packard computer. For on-location shoots he uses his computer in the Roadtrek RV to make preliminary film cuts. "Getting rid of the bad stuff at the start saves time when I get back to my home studio," John said.
At his shows, John goes directly from his computer into the auditorium projector, which provides a beautiful 1080i HD picture.

With the release of his book, "Me," Ricky Martin is opening up about a lot of things – his decision to come out, how he told his parents he was gay, and more, but he's also opening up about one of his biggest events in his life — becoming a dad. In part two of Shaun Robinson's interview with the singing superstar for Access Hollywood, he talked about the unconventional and high tech way he became a father.
"You chose a surrogate to have your children. Why did you go that route?" Shaun asked.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Hottest Hollywood Dads!
"I sat in front of the computer and I started searching. It definitely was a very beautiful journey," Ricky said.
The result of that journey were twins Mateo and Valentino Martin, now 2. Two women helped with that journey – the surrogate who carried the babies and the woman who donated the eggs.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Gay & Lesbian Hollywood
"Do you know what the donor looks like?" Shaun asked.
"Of course. Yeah," Ricky laughed. "Yes, I know what the donor looks like."
Ricky poured through online profiles until he found the right donor.

"Yeah, it's in the computer, you sit down for hours and [look at] different profiles," Ricky explained.
"What made you go, 'OK, her?'" Shaun asked.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: GLAAD Media Awards 2009, Los Angeles
"It's a vibe thing, you know. In this case, it was like, I feel something in her eyes and her smile," Ricky said. "And then you read the profile and you read her letter… and where she goes to school and--"
"So she's cute and smart?" Shaun asked.
"She's very beautiful, yeah. And she is smart as well, yeah," he said.
Ricky is out, proud and happy and now that he is a dad to two adorable twin boys, Ricky's life is pure bliss. It was two years ago when Ricky's babies were born and he told Shaun he was nervous and exhilarated on the day.
"Do you remember that day? Where were you? What were you doing?" Shaun asked.
"I was just waiting for that phone call. It was like, 'OK, any time now. Any time now,'" Ricky recounted. "Was I nervous? Yes, I was nervous. I received a phone call 'You're gonna be a daddy today, OK?' Get in the car and drive to the hospital and I was not in the delivery room, but I was in the little room next to it so I could hear…the first cry."
Ricky said the first cry was monumental.
"This is real. Woah! OK, perfect" Ricky said of his first reactions. "So I want to hold them. I need to hold them.
"I went to my room and the nurse gave them to me and I started holding them and I was like, 'This is amazing. I mean, it feels incredible. There is… There is a God. This is miraculous and they do look like me," he added, laughing.
So what kind of dad is Ricky?
"Hands on!" he said.
"Change diapers?" Shaun asked.
"Everyday I change the diapers. I wake them up. I put them to sleep. I feed them. I bathe them… I sing to them," he said.
Ricky admitted his boys get a host of songs from their superstar singing father.
"There's very typical Spanish songs — lullaby-ish songs or, you know, I can go back to classic rock once and a while. Of course, it's about music," he laughed.
Ricky wrote his new memoir, "Me," for his children.
"The only agenda that I have with my book is to create a very beautiful, solid relationship with my children and 10, 15 years from now, my children will read this book and they will say, 'Daddy, I get it. I know who you are. I know what you went through and I know where you've been and it's — and I'm very proud of you,'" Ricky said.

I have been doing tons of research about how to set up a booth, how much inventory to have, what displays to have, and so on. It is so much information I find myself getting very overwhelmed and needing to take a step back. I wish that my mom could make it into town and help me out with it, but she has to work both days. Luckily I will have my sister and several friends who can help with the craziness.
I'm trying to get as much done as possible before we leave for Disney World on Monday, and I'm actually making pretty good progress.
I've got most of the stockings that I am making completely cut out and sorted, and I am in the process of getting everything else cut. Since my table is so small, it works better to cut everything first so that I don't have to keep moving my machine between projects.
Here is some of the fabric that I am using. Since it is the Seasons of Aggieland Bazaar, I am making most of my items from Texas A&M fabric, but I'm also making some items from Christmas fabric. I have about 50 yards of fabric that I got at an amazing buy 1 yard get 1 yard free sale at the quilt shop around the corner from me.
My darling sewing machine. I have had this one for about 7 years and I adore it. It has the attachment to be able to do embroidery too, and I love that I have that option!
This was the very first stocking I made and just for grins I put it on Etsy just to see how much traffic it got. I was so shocked/excited when it sold only a couple days after I posted it! Hopefully that is a good sign that the craft fair is going to be really successful.
I hope everyone is having an amazing weekend so far! I've got to get back to work :) Does anyone have some tips on what worked best for you at a crafts fair? Or what draws your attention most when at a fair?

News Monday that X Games snowmobile competitor Caleb Moore was in bad shape is sad indeed, both for the sport and the young man's family.
Moore, competing in Aspen's Winter X Games, was slammed by his 450-pound snowmobile as he attempted a trick that went awry. He had bleeding around his heart, and then complications involving his brain.
The edgy tricks that thrill spectators also have the potential, as this sad situation amply illustrates, to be seriously dangerous.
Another prominent example is the injury that superstar snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler, of Aspen, suffered last year during a training session.
Bleiler was practicing a double flip on a trampoline and her knee slammed into her face, breaking her nose and shattering her eye socket.
Yet, she's back on the snow, trying to make a comeback from a very serious injury.
As we watch in awe as these athletes seem to defy gravity and do things we didn't think possible, let's keep in mind all that they are putting on the line.

Ex-CIA man expected to enter a guilty plea in leak case; hearing scheduled Tuesday
WASHINGTON (AP) — A former CIA officer accused of leaking the names of covert operatives to journalists is expected to enter a guilty plea as part of a plea deal.
A change of plea hearing was scheduled for Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., for John Kiriakou. He initially pleaded not guilty to the charges that he disclosed the names of two covert CIA operatives.
The apparent change comes shortly after Kiriakou lost a key pre-trial ruling that established a lower legal burden for prosecutors to prove their case. Kiriakou's lawyers had argued unsuccessfully that prosecutors should have to prove that Kirkiakou intended to harm the United States through his alleged leaks. Such a strict legal standard had been imposed recently on a leaks prosecution against two pro-Israel lobbyists.
But U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema ruled last week that such a high standard should not apply to Kiriakou, a government employee with top-secret security clearances who knew well the dangers of disclosing classified information.
Instead, prosecutors would only have to show that Kiriakou had "reason to believe" that the information could be used to injure the U.S.
Court records do not make clear exactly what charges Kiriakou would plead to. When he was indicted in April, he was charged with one count of disclosing classified information identifying a covert agent, three counts of illegally disclosing national defense information and one count of making false statements. He faced up to 45 years in prison if convicted on all counts in the indictment.
Kiriakou, who wrote a book detailing his CIA career, had tried to argue after the charges were filed that he was a victim of vindictive prosecution by government officials who believed he portrayed the CIA negatively, but the judge rejected those arguments as well.
Peter Carr, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Neil MacBride, whose office is prosecuting the case, declined comment Monday. Kiriakou's attorney, Robert Trout, also declined comment.
Kiriakou was a CIA veteran who played a role in the agency's capture of al-Qaida terrorist Abu Zubaydah in Pakistan in 2002. Abu Zubaydah was waterboarded by government interrogators and eventually revealed information that led to the arrest of "dirty bomb" plotter Jose Padilla and exposed Khalid Sheikh Mohamed as the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
Accounts conflict, though, over whether the waterboarding was helpful in gleaning intelligence from Zubaydah. Kiriakou, who did not participate in the waterboarding, expressed ambivalence in media interviews about use of the tactic.
Court papers indicate that the investigation of Kiriakou began in 2009 when authorities became alarmed after discovering that detainees at Guantanamo Bay possessed photographs of CIA and FBI personnel. The investigation eventually led back to the alleged leaks by Kiriakou, according to a government affidavit.
The papers indicate prosecutors believe Kiriakou leaked the name of one covert operative to a journalist, who subsequently disclosed the name to an investigator working for the lawyer of a Guantanamo detainee.
Kiriakou had planned to subpoena three journalists connected to the case. Those journalists had filed motions to quash the subpoenas, but that issue will now be rendered moot by the apparent plea deal.

App Review: Tyrian by Mobila Interactive
by Jeff on
July 7, 2009
Filed under Daily App Reviews, Entertainment, Games
Tyrian by Mobila Interactive is a scrolling shooter game that is very fun. In the game you are a space ship. Your mission is to destroy as many enemies as possible. Watch out for enemy fire. You can play in either arcade or full mode. Arcade mode will allow you to play individual levels. You will automatically get to use the best ship with all of the upgrades you could ever want. Full mode allows you to advance through the game like a story. You can upgrade your ship, armor, and guns using the money you earn by defeating enemies.
The controls on the game are very easy to figure out. All you do is put your finger where you want your ship to go. Your weapons fire automatically. You can adjust your ships settings using the bar on the right side of the screen. These settings allow you to change weapons, or turn off weapons.
Tyrian is a great game with addictive game play. Tyrian is based on the original computer game developed by Eclipse Productions in 1995. The graphics for the game were released in 2007 under an Open License which makes this version for the iPhone possible. Since the app depends on the graphics from the original game you must download them upon first launch of the app. Other than that, I enjoyed every minute of playing Tyrian.
Tyrian is $1.99 in the iTunes App Store.

It's old, rusts like crazy (almost instantly) and has no markings. It needs some TLC, as it has been used hard. But I was hoping someone here could help me with any info/history/brand. The knife itself has some hash-mark like imprints that runs close to the edge of the blade. The length of the steel is 11 3/4". I'd love to get it in working order. Thanks and enjoy!

Just call him Dr. Diddy.
Sean "Diddy" Combs was all smiles as he received an honorary doctorate degree in humanities from Howard University Saturday and gave a commencement speech while he was at it during the graduation ceremony.
"Ain't no homecoming like a Howard homecoming," Diddy said during his speech at the Washington D.C. university. "And it feels so good to be home."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Before heading to the ceremony, Diddy was tweeting and Instagramming up a storm, writing on Instagram, "I'm not known for sleeping, and it's very hard for me to wake up..I'm not a morning person! Today my wake up call was 6:30am I been up since 5am!!! Dancing to James Brown and getting ready for this special day! I ain't need no wake up call today jack!! #DiddySpeechHU."
NEWS: Sean "Diddy" Combs tops Forbes' Hip-Hop's wealthiest artist list
Diddy also posted photos of himself arriving to the ceremony with the "love of his life," his mom--Janice--and several quotes from his speech after he was done.
"Howard University didn't just change my life--it entered my soul, my heart, my being and my spirit," Diddy posted in one, adding, "Nobody is going to invite you to the front of the line, you got to push your way to the front of the line."
Years ago, Diddy attended Howard University as a business major but left after two years in 1990. Since he did drop out, some Howard University students were upset when he was first announced as the commencement speaker, but all appeared well during the graduation. After his uplifting speech, Diddy received a standing ovation and "Diddy" chants from the Class of 2014, according to Billboard.
"Of all the amazing moments God has blessed me with, this has to be one of The Greatest! Thanks You Howard University and The Class of 2014 #DrCombs #DiddySpeechHU," Diddy wrote after the ceremony.
Wolf Blitzer, transplant surgeon Dr. Clive Callendar, jazz composer Benny Golson and PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi also spoke at the 2014 Howard commencement.

The Stockton Convention & Visitors Bureau has debuted a free application for mobile devices that is a guide to help keep abreast of events in Stockton, find nearby cafes or learn more about the city.
"We've already had a couple hundred people download it since we launched it for iPhones two weeks ago. We launched it for Androids a week after that. We hope it will be a convenient resource," Wes Rhea, of Stockton CVB, said of the official Stockton, California Guide. "I imagine locals will keep it on their phone and use it frequently. For visitors, we expect they will download it before they come to town. But we don't expect them to keep it forever."
A virtual tour function on the Stockton app shows off the glittering waterfront, highlights the Arena and features landmarks such as The Haggin Museum.
Other functions tap places to stay, restaurants, things to do, events, what's nearby and leads to the CVB's social media presence.
"I love the app. I actually installed it the day it became available," Matthew Beckwith, 41, of Stockton said, adding he likes to point out the virtual tour to his peeps who live out of town. "If we want to know what's going on, I can pull out my phone and find all the events going on immediately. If we want to go out to eat, I can scan all the restaurants, which is helpful because we like to try different places."
Rhea said the app became an obvious necessity when he realized more than 30 percent of the CVB's website traffic was coming from mobile devices.
"We get over 20,000 visits per month to our website," he said of visitstockton.org. "This will just make it easier for people to access all the information we have."
Users beware, though. Because of the tendency for businesses - especially restaurants - to struggle in a tough economy, some places the app lists in its functions have unexpectedly gone out of business.
"It will list everything in our database and that's something we are constantly updating," Rhea said. "I think we have close to 250 restaurants on there. That's one thing that's hard to stay on top of because they close and open but we're trying."
The Stockton CVB isn't the only marketing organization to go mobile.
A Lodi wine app launched by the Lodi-Woodbridge Winegrape Commission is called LoCa and is especially helpful for tracking down wine tasting opportunities and special events.
The Stockton Thunder have a mobile app that fan Monique Wessels says she uses to check out the team's schedule and scores.
Most local media organizations have apps, as do some standalone events, such as the Lodi Grape Festival. Other local apps are aimed at marketing houses, gyms and even vehicles.
"Mobile devices are changing the way that we work," Rhea said of the challenge marketing folks have to keep people instantly informed. "We think the app is more functional in many ways than a mobile website or the traditional website. I think people will find it very useful."
The CVB's Stockton app, and other local applications, can be downloaded for smartphones and tablets at iTunes and Google Play.

ThinkWider needed a new wordpress theme design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 16 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
UltimateCaribbean is the first in a line of Ultimate-branded websites ( http://www.ultimateasia.com, http://www.ultimatesouthamerica.com and more are on the way) that aim to publish high quality information about each destination. Future websites will have a design based of this one, which should capture the fun and excitement of travel.
People seeking travel information about the Caribbean.
The colors should be bright, perhaps a brighter shade of blue and green than is currently on the test site ( http://test.ultimatecaribbean.com ), and perhaps include some white, yellow and red.
Site should keep a similar structure to the test site, with at least one navigation bar and separate sections of content, but feel free to be creative with the structure. The home page can have a nice section for photos. A simple logo design would be great but not necessary.
Would also like this to be a design that can be replicated with small changes (color etc) for other Ultimate-branded travel sites (www.ultimateasia.com, http://www.ultimatesouthamerica.com etc.)
For other good Caribbean travel sites, see http://www.caribbeantravel.com/, http://www.caribbeantravelmag.com/, http://www.islands.com/.

Dreams of the Thinker by William Waldo
Review Date: February 4, 2014
A Christian Book Review
9.8 out of 10.0 stars
Dreams of the Thinker by William Waldo reveals a series of biblical dreams the narrator, known as the "thinker" has in this creative evangelistic novel. The "thinker" is a college philosophy professor that has a series of dreams resulting in his conversion from Atheism to Christianity. Fascinating and entertaining, the author begins by explaining his background, coming from an Atheist father who dispelled Christianity as one of the most evil religions. Deciding to find the truth for himself, the "thinker" began exploring the Bible in search of truth. What he found was that he had been lied to over and over again and that the Bible was in fact truth.
Thus, he takes the readers on an exciting adventure from Genesis to Revelation. His dreams reveal many things such as: the Creation, Garden of Eden, the corruption of mankind on Earth, the flood, the tower of Babel, the first coming of Jesus Christ, the Cross and redemption, John of Patmos, the second coming of Jesus Christ, the vision of the consummation of mankind and the triune God. Meanwhile, the "thinker" gives timelines, explanations and resources for readers to understand and research.
Creative and unique, the author (William Waldo) and narrator of the book "the thinker" have created a unique avenue to evangelize those who question the existence of God with a novel that is biblical in it's storytelling, revealing the truth of the Word of God in an amazingly creative and entertaining way – keeping in mind this is a fiction novel.
The "thinker" asks the poignant question of - When Christ returns for His Church, will you be left behind to endure the tribulation and at the end of the Tribulation will Christ find faith on Earth? Revelation and an account of biblical End-Time prophecies reveal the truth of the consequences of not believing in Christ as Lord and Savior.
Inspiring, touching and thoughtfully penned, this author writes his experiences to share and evangelize the truth and reality of biblical truths that will impact lives now and for Eternity. A highly recommended read for those skeptics that question if there really is a God of the universe.
You may get your copy of Dreams of the Thinker at Amazon, in Kindle Edition and at Barnes and Noble.

I'm new to this forum. I saw some of the threads and posts today and then I decided to register as I found a lot of people who tend to provide REAL help. I am not a CS student. I just want to learn programming on my own (I don't have enough money/time to take a private class ). So I read a book, write sample examples, and try to solve the problems at the end of each chapter.
I have a problem with loops. The syntax is pretty simple. It's easy to understand how a for or a while loop works. But when I try to solve problems I found that I cannot figure out how to write the loop to make the required task. For example, I cannot figure out the condition/s to end the loop. Of course, I am talking about some intermediate problems. Not trivial ones (to count even/odd number, print numbers from 1 - 100, get the sum of numbers that the user enters from the keyboard ...etc).
So, I feel that I missed the main concept of how to THINK of a loop not how to write a loop (the syntax part). I'd like to hear from you guys.
Thanks in advance,

The activation, both of productive cooperation and of the social relationship with the consumer, is materialised within and by the process of communication. It is immaterial labour which continually innovates the form and the conditions of communication (and thus of work and of consumption). It gives form and materializes needs, images, the tastes of consumers and these products become in their turn powerful producers of needs, of images and of tastes. The
particularity of the commodity produced through immaterial labour (seeing that its essential use value is given by its value contained, informational and cultural) consists in the fact that this is not destroyed in the act of consumption, but enlarges, transforms, creates the 'ideological' and cultural environment of the consumer. This does not produce the physical capacity of the workforce, it transforms the person who uses it. Immaterial labour produces first of all a 'social relationship' (a relationship of innovation, of production, of consumption); and only if it succeeds in this production does its activity have an economic value. This activity shows immediately that which material production 'hid': in other words, labour produces not only commodities, but first and foremost the capital relationship. (Lazzarato, 2001)
Immaterial labor produces certain sorts of measurable, value-generating social relations. And like all labor, it reproduces capitalism as a set of relations revolving around commodities.
I guess I would argue that immaterial labor fashions a commodity in the form of relationship that veils the value that can be harvested in its "circulation," which has to be understood not as a transfer of property by as networked communication. "Immaterial" commodities mask the process of commodification and value extraction precisely because there is not tangible property involved, but instead a proprietary claim to communication flows. Immaterial labor is another way of saying the commodification of communication. It allows companies to extract a rent from meaning-making and symbolic exchange. Because it involves a relation and communication, it foregrounds the ways in which consumption is productive. It's "labor" insofar as it produces harvestable value, but it doesn't make the consumer a laborer; rather it hides the value that consumers create because their value creation doesn't appear to them as labor. This is why the critique is to stress consumer's productivity, and to try to strip the pleasure from this kind of production only so that consumer-producers will make an effort to disentangle their consumption from the reproduction of capitalist forms. We mustn't be distracted by how we are paid in affect for immaterial/communictive/consumeristic labor from the ways in which this labor reproduces capitalism. The question becomes how to withdraw affect from this circuit, how to extinguish its value in the process of consumption instead of producing it in a recirculatable way (i.e. in social networks). The trend is running in the other direction: we are being subjectivized to only experience pleasure (or positive affect) when our affect is captured in networks and "shared." It's only real feeling if it is mediated, preserved, not "destroyed." Pics or it didn't happen, even for yourself.
Not sure if that is theoretically coherent. Basically, consumerism reproduces capitalist relations because the consuming process makes capitalist value. Only the consumer can intervene and de-consumerize their consumption (I wonder) through a consciousness of the value they are producing and then ... what? An effort to destroy it or deny it or claim its value for themselves?

Pesto Pasta
Pesto is best in the summertime when basil is fresh and you can make a batch of pesto from scratch. Pesto is a snap to make and will fill your kitchen — and maybe your whole house — with the wonderful aroma of fresh basil. If you don't have pine nuts on hand, you can substitute walnuts in your pesto recipe.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes or less for pasta
Yield: 6 servings (about 1 cup)
Fresh basil leaves
4 cloves garlic
4 tablespoons, plus 1/3 cup pine nuts
6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese or a combination of Parmesan and Romano cheeses, plus extra for garnish
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
1 pound fettuccine or other pasta
6 cherry tomatoes and several sprigs parsley for garnish
Chop the basil leaves until you have 3 cups chopped.
Place the 3 cups basil, garlic, 4 tablespoons pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper in a blender or food processor.
Process until well blended and smooth.
Dribble in the olive oil and continue processing until the mixture is the consistency of a smooth paste.
In a large pot, cook the pasta according to package instructions.
Drain the pasta.
Combine the pesto, 1/3 cup pine nuts, and pasta in the pot or in a large bowl and toss until the pasta is well coated.
Use more or less pesto, according to your preference (a ratio of about 3/4 cup pesto to 1 pound pasta is typical).
Add a few tablespoons of hot water to the pesto to thin it, if necessary.
Garnish with cherry tomato halves and parsley, and serve immediately with grated Parmesan cheese.

Expert cameraman provides quality work, quick turnaround
Mark Van Horn, video developer in Marketing and Communica- tions, is able to "turn our ideas into beautiful works of art," according to members of the Staff Advisory Council, on which he serves as a representative.
Nominated by SAC members Susan Thomas and Darla Van Horn (no relation to Mark!), Mark Van Horn was given the Staff Employee of the Month award at the December First Wednesday meeting Dec. 4.
"Mark developed all the marketing for the Cougar Challenge 5K for the last two years. He also helps maintain the SAC website, and produced the PowerPoint for the annual OSCHE meeting," wrote Thomas and Darla Van Horn. "He is detail oriented and he always follows through with the work he is 'volun-told' to do!" they added.
"Mark is one of the best college video producers in the nation," says supervisor Will Kopp. "He has filled the room at two national conferences and received excellent comments from those attending. His duckling video went viral and gained national and international attention. It's estimated that this video has been viewed at least 2 million times. Such care for individuals is a core part of our brand as a college, and if a duckling video reinforces that idea, great," says Kopp. "Mark is extremely creative, he turns the work around very fast, and he never tells anyone 'no,'" says Kopp. "Mark's artistic eye captures the images that spark emotion, as he does so well with his graduation videos."

Certain parking lots to close during break period
During the period from Monday, December 16, through Friday, January 10, 2014, Student Parking Lots 4, 5, 12, 30, 31 and 31, and the third and fourth floors of the Parking Garage will be closed. During the Holiday Cost Savings Week, the only parking lots that will remain open will be lots 3E, 8S, 16EV, 21S, 24E, 26E, and 34S. To see a map of parking lots on campus, go online here.
Heart of Scioto Trail unlocked as miles of pathway open
Cyclists and runners traveling along the Scioto River will have two new bridges to cross now that a key connector that links fragmented pieces of the trail has been completed.
The Ohio Department of Transportation's $4.3 million project paved a new trail and added the two spans over the river between Dublin Road and Grandview Avenue, said spokeswoman Nancy Burton. The new work links a section of the trail that extends west from the Columbus water plant on Dublin Road to the section that travels along the Scioto Mile.
The connector is about three-fourths of a mile, but it will connect parts of the West Side to the rest of Columbus' trail system and the longer Ohio to Erie Trail that eventually will run between Cleveland and Cincinnati.
Trail users coming from the west will be able to jump on the Scioto Trail and access sections of the trail that head south, or turn north onto the 14-mile Olentangy Trail. The Hilltop Connector Bridge off the trail will link up with the Camp Chase Trail to the west, too, said Alan McKnight, director of the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department.
Previously, trail users had to travel on Dublin Road for about a mile to pick up the second section. Now the 4-mile stretch to the west that was extended to 5th Avenue last spring and the 5-mile stretch that reaches south to Berliner Park will be one continuous path, said Brad Westall, the city's greenways planner.
Work on the Scioto Greenways project, including the removal of the Main Street dam that started last week, will result in a detour on the trail through the Scioto Mile as well. Parts of the trail near COSI Columbus will be shut down while the city adds about 33 acres of parkland along the river.
Troop Care Package Drive great success
Veteran Services and the Student Engagement and Leadership (SEaL) department would like to say thank you to all who participated in this years' Troop Care package drive. You made a difference around the world!
Veteran Services and SEaL collaborated to coordinate student volunteers from the Collegiate Leadership Conference of Ohio Conference, who then spent a Saturday morning creating care packages and writing post cards to be shipped overseas to soldiers. Items for 100 care packages, as well as $600 in shipping donations, were collected from Columbus State students, staff and faculty members. The completed packages were donated to the Blue Star Mothers Chapter 9 in Worthington, for service members deployed Afghanistan.
Thorton hired in Counseling Services
Tracy Thornton has recently been hired as office associate in Counseling Services. She graduated from Columbus State with her associate degree in Business Management in 2008, and has more than 20 years of administrative office experience in both health care and education. She worked full time while attending Columbus State and raising her family, so she easily identifies with the college's many working students.
Humanities adjunct instructor Stacy Leeman's painting Upstream W#14 will be on exhibit at the 3rd annual 2D exhibition, January 13- 28 at the Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah, Georgia.
Recent Academy graduate receives rapid recognition
Barely a year after graduating from Columbus State's highly regarded Police Academy, Shawn Hensley is making a name for himself in the community. After completing the Academy last year he became an officer with the Village of Minerva Park Police Department in November 2012. Since that time, Hensley has made almost a dozen arrests for Operating a Vehicle while Intoxicated (OVI) and has been responsible for multiple seizures of illegal drugs in the small village limits.
Those efforts didn't go unnoticed. His Police Chief, Kim Nuesse, nominated him for an award with the local chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). This fall, MADD recognized Officer Hensley for his outstanding performance while on OVI patrol. Hensley and his award were then featured in the news on NBC 4.
Criminal Justice Professor Scott Wagner was pleasantly surprised by all the attention his former student was receiving. "Officers don't normally get recognition so soon after being hired," says Wagner. "It's rather unheard of!"

I think people are really touchy about this subject. As long as there was no bad intentions, I really don't see a problem. I've had people post pictures of my son in a party situation and not ask permission. Nothing malicious was ment so I have no problem, it's nice that I was able to view them. If some one is taking pictures of your child in an unsavory mannor then I would take extreme measure ( legally) and I would want to know. But other than that we need to stop being so paranoid. Not everyone out there is evil,so let's stop focusing on them. Be cautious but not paranoid!
I totally agree Clare. I enjoy & appreciate it when extended family, friends, or day care providers post pics. of my son. Especially if I can't be there for "First" occassions, pics. are the next best thing.

Is Bill Geivett on the hotseat as Rockies assistant GM?
After Dick Monfort got caught up in E-mailgate (iPadgate? Breakfastgate?) he's had to explain himself this week and last, several times, to clear up what he meant about the future of his baseball team.
The Rockies owner on Wednesday went on KOA radio — the flagship station of the Rockies Radio Network — for an interview with Dave Logan and Susie Wargin.
And Monfort seemed to start assigning blame.
Some of what he said repeated comments he made to The Denver Post in a long Q&A last week, when he said "I don't know how our record got to be where it is."
Monfort told KOA, in a response to a question about Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd:
"People say, 'Replace the GM.' OK, that's easily said. But you've got to have a person that in your mind will do you a better job."
So, Monfort was asked, who is responsible for the Rockies' 40-55 record this season, good for second-to-last place in the National League?
"You would have to say it's Bill Geivett (Rockies assistant GM)," Monfort said. "He's responsible for the major-league team.
"Now, the talent that gets into the Major League team, is the responsibility of scouting and development."
Asked if the Rockies make front-office changes before next season, Monfort reiterated what he's said over the past week:
"That's a decision we make later. I still stand by the job that everybody does. There's a lot more to this than what meets the eye. The bottom line to the fans, the bottom line to the sportswriters and everybody else is wins and losses. That's what we've got to get better at."

postfix incoming only on external
Hi All. I'm wanting to accept only incoming email (i.e. that which is destined for my network) on the external interface, yet outgoing on internal interfaces. In fact, I want to have it listen on one port to allow outgoing, and only incoming on port 25. Then I can alter pf.conf to disallow connection from anything not AT&T network so I can still use my phone.
Can anybody help with the configuration help I need for postfix?
anything done in the GUI is done more efficiently in cli
just in case
In case my attempts at being clear failed me again..
Ideal configuration
ext_if: accept smtp for locally hosted domain only on port 25
ext_if: accept smtp for any domain on an ambiguous high number port (later to be locked down to a range of ips matching my mobile phone network)
int_if: accept smtp for any domain on port 25
Secondary configuration
ext_if: accept smtp for locally hosted domain only on port 25
int_if: accept smtp for any domain on port 25
specifically what to change in postfix main.cf or whatever to accomplish this would be wonderful. I'm sure somebody knows postfix. Thanks in advance for any help anybody can provide.
anything done in the GUI is done more efficiently in cli
I still don't understand which problem you are trying to solve
Are you aware that nowadays many mail installations use port 587 (with TLS/SSL) for their users to submit mail? Users have to authenticate with username and password an an encrypted channel is being used. For example gmail
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication) Use Authentication: Yes Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL) Port: 465 or 587
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
Yes, thank you. I am familiar with this configuration, but unfortunately it is not what I was going for here. If anybody can help out with what I've described, please help. If my description is still unclear, please let me know. I'm not sure how else to describe it though. As this mail server will be the authoritative smtp server for a working domain, it obviously needs to be able to allow connections on port 25. However, I don't want this to open me up as a relay for others. This is where the different configuration for the internal interface vs. the external interface.
anything done in the GUI is done more efficiently in cli
Using SMTP AUTH on port 587 lets you do exactly what you want, selective relaying.
I will shut up now
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
Figured it out
j65nko, no need to shut up. I appreciate the help. You have always been very helpful and knowledgeable. At this point I'm not wanting to implement ssl, but as it turns out, what I'm wanting to accomplish is very doable by simply understanding the postconf a bit better. For anybody who might be thinking they want what I was describing, here is what I learned:
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
relay_domains = $mydestination
mynetworks = 10.x.x.0/24, 172.x.x.0/24
The domains referenced in "mydestination" are allowed as domains which this server will "relay for" and therefore allow anybody who connects to submit mail for that domain. The "mynetworks" is automatically allowed to relay to any domain. This is exactly what I was looking for. If I wanted to, I could add a block of IPs belonging to my phone network in "mynetworks" so that I can send email from my phone.
Thanks again for your willingness to help j65nko. You are one of the integral reasons this forum (now and it's first incarnation) is one of the very best. BSD is only as good to new people as the people supporting it.

GOP doubles down on bad hand
House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor are playing the last cards in their hand — and they're most likely losers.
The House Republican leadership's decision to try to defund Obamacare this week in its government funding bill, and their promise to wage a a no-holds-barred fight to delay the health care law as part of the debt ceiling fight, is a double-barreled strategy that could set Boehner, Cantor, Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and the House Republican Conference up for two big defeats.
Story Continued Below
Nearly everyone in Washington — except a group of conservative Republicans and their allies — admits that the Senate isn't going to vote to defund the Affordable Care Act. President Barack Obama showed his own determination on Monday not to give in, speaking just minutes after a shooting rampage in Washington to remind the nation he's not interested in negotiating over the debt ceiling.
( PHOTOS: 25 unforgettable Obamacare quotes)
Boehner and his top lieutenants have tried managing expectations about what's achievable in a divided Washington, with Republicans running the House and Democrats holding the Senate and White House. But those efforts aren't swaying the rank and file.
"Republicans control the House. Conservatives control the House," said Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.). "Our job is to reflect the people who sent us here. That means sending a good, conservative bill out of this House. We'll worry about the Senate after the Senate actually does something."
Now, House Republicans are now staking out two positions on which they're almost sure to come out on the losing end.
But Boehner, Cantor and McCarthy may have no other option. They tried it their way: Leadership pushed a clean government funding bill, alongside a resolution to defund Obamacare that would've been defeated and sent to the president with no further say from the House. House Republicans rejected it, forcing leaders to shelve the plan.
( Also on POLITICO: GOP vs. GOP in Obamacare squabble)
Now, the leadership is tacking hard to the right — a provision defunding Obamacare in the $988 billion spending bill — in a move to get 217 House Republican votes and put the heat on Senate Republicans to filibuster any government funding package that doesn't derail the Affordable Care Act.
After the planned passage of a continuing resolution Friday or Saturday that would keep the government funded through Dec. 15, House GOP leadership's goal is to begin crafting a debt ceiling plan that could get a vote as soon as next week.
That way, when the Senate sends a CR back across the Capitol that doesn't defund Obamacare, they hope House Republicans will see the debt cap as a more attractive place to dig in. Republicans say Democrats will eventually see the wisdom of using the debt ceiling to strike a deal that cuts the deficit and fixes sequester cuts. This would allow Republicans to avoid being blamed for a government shutdown and shift the focus to the struggle over boosting the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling.
( Also on POLITICO: Reid, McConnell to Boehner: Send us something)
Boehner and the GOP leadership will spend the next two weeks crafting a plan to raise the nation's borrowing limit that will include piles of conservative goodies. Basically, if a Republican lawmaker has an idea for what should be included, leadership will throw it in.
The options include jump-starting construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, major structural reforms to entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid, an outline of tax reform principles and rolling back environmental regulations.
In a sign of how far Republicans are willing to show that they're going, they will include in the government funding bill language by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) instructing the Treasury to prioritize interest payments if the nation blows past the debt ceiling.
Yet this strategy also could backfire.
If rank-and-file House Republicans think their leaders will hold strong against Obama's refusal to negotiate on the debt ceiling, they very well could take that to mean Boehner, Cantor and McCarthy will resist lifting the cap until Obama is at his desk in the Oval Office, ready to sign the bill to delay Obamacare. Most people in D.C. think that moment is unlikely to occur.
"I want to repeat what the president has already made clear: He will not negotiate over the debt ceiling," Treasury Secretary Jack Lew told the Economic Club of Washington on Tuesday. "He will not accept measures that would tie a debt limit increase to defunding or delaying the Affordable Care Act, which was passed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court."

At Drs. Decker & McClanahan, our caring, compassionate dental team looks forward to giving you a warm welcome and an ongoing commitment to your dental health.
Dear Dr. Decker:
Thank you for getting me back on the path to good dental health.
I heard your radio addvertisement about sedation dentistry, and I responed for two reasons: First, I had not seen a dentist n about a decade! So the thought of being able to take care of ten yers of neglect in a few visits was tantalizing. Second, I had not seen a dentist in about a decade! I knew that was awful, and I did not need anyone to tell me that. Your add indicated that no one in your office would be judgemental.
As it turned out, everything you promised was true! for me, sedation dentistry was perfect. In just two visits, you completed a great deal of dental work - painlessly. I rested for a few hours after each procedure, and I went to work the next day feeling fine. After having avoided the dentist for so long, I had slowly built up fears about getting much needed dental work done. The sedation dentistry put me at ease and made me glad to be repairing the dental problems that I was experiencing.
I was also pleased with the care and attention of your office staff.The dental assistans and front office people all treated me with respect and courtesy. I felt that they wanted to help me as much as I needed their assistance. No one was judgemental about my ten-year "lapse" in dental care.
Because of all the work that you did I am now taking much better care of my teeth and I won't fear going back to you for check ups or if I need any additonal work done in the future.
Thank you for your professionalism and outstanding treatment.
I can not say enough good things about Dr. Decker. After being to a total sadistic butcher of a dentist at Cottonwood Dental in RSD, I found Dr. Decker who is the most gentel man and dentist ever! Uber friendly staff too! Lovely people! He evn does sleep dentistry. NO PAIN AT ALL! NO ANXIETY! And this is on a root canal! I actually look forward to going to the dentist now! As long as he is around I will continue to see him as long as I have teeth!
CONS: what cons? NONE!
I am a patient of Dr. McClanahan's and I have nothing but good to say about him and his staff. After years of not going to the dentist because of fear, I went to see him, and I had NO PAIN. he is the most gentel dentist I have ever met. He is so patient and settles any fears you may have. I have recomended him to many people and they love him too. I told Dr. McClanahan he is never aloud to retire, or I will have to show up at his house just to see the dentist. I will not go anywhere else. He even gives you his cell phone number
I have been going to Dr. Decker for 14 years. His staff is very friendly and profesional. his hygenistis a dream very carefull and pain free. Recently Dr. Decker filled an area on the surface of my tooth that requiered a little work below the gumline. Not only did I not feel any pain during the prcedure, the next day my gums weren't even sore. The tooth shows no signs of anything being done, the color match is perfect, you would never know anything was done and it looks great. I drive two and a half hours to see Dr. Decker now that I don't live in San Diego anymore. That's how much I like him and his staff. I moved away 8 years ago. i wouldn't even think about finding a new denist as long as I can make the trip to see Dr. Decker.
I have been a patient of Dr. McClanahan since 2003 and would recommend him for all of your dentistry needs. He, Bobbie his hygenist, and all of his staff are very friendly, courteous and professional. I would recommend his sedation dentistry for anybody likemyself who have a strong gag reflex and need something more than nitrous oxide. The waiting room is always clean and tidy, appointments are never a problem and there is apmle parking on site near by.
