Image restoration is a task that has been made easier in some ways with digital tools but even though it may be easier, it's still not a 5 minute exercise as some may want to lead you to believe. In a past article I discussed the process of recreating a photo of a mural that had been damaged. That project took about 9 hours of editing time to complete.
Recently, a glass plate negative came to me for evaluation. It appears as though it had been taken during World War II. My guess is the soldiers are either British or Canadian. Just looking at the plate there were a few obvious scratches in the emulsion but it didn't lookthat bad. I put it on the scanner and only after seeing the scan did the real work ahead become clearer. It was only after looking at the scan and seeing the image at 100% magnification that the many small nicks and scratches became visible. These wouldn't show up on a computer screen but definitely would show in a print.
Below is the original, unretouched scan.
The finished image is next. This is after all the retouching, contrast adjustment and sharpening. The image was flipped because I scanned it with the emulsion side down so it was in reverse orientation.
All told, this took about 8 to 9 hours of work. What did you might ask? This next image will tell the tale. I did all of the retouching on a separate layer. I call it the 'repair map'.
As you can see, while it didn't look like it initially, this plate had significant damage that had to be repaired, some of it having to be recreated from scratch (pardon the pun). Image restoration is a rewarding, albeit sometimes quite time consuming, and worthwhile task if the photos are important to you or are historically significant. But you shouldn't expect that your restorer is going to be able to magically press a couple of buttons and presto-changeo, your image is restored to its former glory.
Do you have images that need restoration? I'd be happy to speak with you about the project. You can contact me via email at photog(at)rf-photography(dot)ca or phone on 289-240-0949.

In Others' Words: Plans
"Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work." ~Peter Drucker (1909-2005), writer
I start Monday with lots of plans for the week. Some of them end up being nothing more than good intentions by the time Friday rolls around.
And, yeah, that's frustrating.
Sometimes legitimate interruptions derail my plans.
And sometimes I derail my plans. I just get . . . distracted. By things that seem worthwhile at the time. Like all that social media stuff I'm supposed to be doing. Or by the other stuff it's easier to do than buckling down and writing that rough draft that's been postponed all summer long because of a wildfire. And a computer crash. And a wedding. And, well, life.
Sometimes I need to do what needs to be done so that plans become accomplishments. And the reality is that takes work. Not excuses. Work.
So, it's Monday. I've got work today — specifically, I've got two chapters to finish writing. What have you got planned?
In Your Words: Got any plans for today? For the week? I'd love to hear about them.

Beth, I'm sure you've heard of the old adage: Man plans, God laughs. Well, I'm not sure I want to believe that God gets a kick out of my plans turn sour (not to demand attention here, but this weekend is a great example–I wanted to get more writing done but my herniated neck discs crashed the party) but life has taught me that plans are simply a guidelines for us. Life does happen. We need to be very flexible and truly go with the flow. I hope your plans for this week come into fruition.

Though my chaps. 1 & 2 are fairly rough on my new WIP, I'm writing chap 3 and glad to be–seeing how much I can get done well before ACFW & appreciating God's inspiration & help.

Last two days of summer so my plan is to spend QT with kiddos. Start new novel on Wed. Woot!
August 27, 2012, 6:53 am /
I have 16 chapters to write. And what I reallllllllly want to do is…..keep hitting those periods. but that won't get the next chapter written. What will is the plot board from this year's DT. You know, writing is hard work. 🙂
August 27, 2012, 7:28 am /
Plans? I always have plans. Please note I didn't say I accomplish them all. 🙂 Today includes, going for a walk, pricing things for an upcoming consignment sale and revising some chapters for ACFW. Let's not forget to mention getting the kids to karate later today and trying to be a patient mom. That one is the challenge today.
I hope you get your chapters written. 🙂

At this point I'm too tired to think about it (yes, I know it's only Monday morning – LOL). But somehow with God's help I'll get the necessary things done. Hope you all have a great week!

You've ruined everything. I had a few distractions in mind (as usual), but since you've set me straight …
I'm pitching several ideas to the children's magazine that's been on my desk since last week, and submitting a devotional to another publication for consideration.
Thanks for the nudge to work. I needed it.
August 27, 2012, 11:28 am /
Oh my, I'm such a planner, and beat myself up (not literally…don't worry) if I don't get everything on my list checked off.
Today I have to write 2,000 words for my new wip. In fact, my goal is to have the thing drafted by the end of October. So that means basically I have to write 10,000 words a week from now until then…which turns out to be about 2,000 words for five days of every week. Lots that could get in my way, but I really just want the words on the page!! Then I can start revising… 😛

I'm just trying to figure out: What is my plan? Smile.

Plans are a good thing. They keep us moving forward. I've learned to hold my plans loosely. Holding them in my hand with only my fingertips touching rather than clenched fists lets God in and out and turns out less discombulating when they change. Because they always do. 🙂

Hi Beth,
I so relate, especially to the self-imposed derailment. I'm always hopping down bunny trails…. Sometimes, though, it's not so bad, because I've discovered that God knows exactly where those rabbit trails lead and He often meets me there with nuggets of truth.
Today I had a post planned about focusing on God so as not to lose direction and purpose, but over the weekend I attended a friend's father's funeral and ended up writing about that instead. It was a much better post, I have to admit, at least for today.

ReviewThere is no worse feeling than taking the plunge and realizing you made a mistake. It took me 3 days to realize I married the wrong man but only ONE to regret buying this car. The Rav4 is cute with that snappy little 4 cylinder engine with good gas mileage. However, the poor design of the interior rains on my parade. The front seats are flat and tilted down-- leaving me to slip off at every turn. The head rests eat into my head. The sound system is so poor it muffles human voices on am radio. Entertainment and temperature controls are too poorly lit to see in sunglasses. There is no way to hold the tiny steering wheel comfortably and no arm rests. Cheap fabric tops off the look.
Best FeaturesEngine, exterior features, smart key, keyless ignition, the side opening back door, the folding seats.
Worst FeaturesMake the seats wider, longer, and with a tilt mechanism on all models. Arm rests higher. Get rid of the brown on brown lit controls for entertainment and temperature. Ditch the headrests. Use chenille fabric in the limited as option to leather. Enlarge steering wheel and change hand placement.

The city is working with CSX to see what assistance it can offer.
Two months after six flammable tankers derailed on the train tracks at Love Grove, the Wilmington neighborhood is quiet again.
City crews have removed a temporary access road to the neighborhood, which was blocked for hours. Once again, trains are moving along the tracks.
But everything is not back to normal.
The June 28 derailment stoked longstanding safety concerns about train tracks crossing King Street, the only way in or out of Love Grove, bound by woods, creeks and railroad tracks. The community has about 100 houses.
The derailment has galvanized residents of the historically black neighborhood to pressure the city and the rail company, CSX, to install a second access.
Leading the charge is Lynda McMillan, who has lived in the neighborhood for about 25 years. McMillan, an elder at Union Missionary Baptist Church, compares Love Grove's quest to get a second access to David facing Goliath.
"We're back here with five little rocks and we need to get out here," McMillan said. "David won that battle in the end now. Giants do fall. Somebody just has to stand up, and I'm not afraid to stand up."
After the accident, McMillan made a postcard with a picture of the train on it. "Love Grove community, a day to remember," it says.
The issue is not so much with the residents remembering – McMillan missed her brother's wake while the neighborhood was blocked – it is making sure outsiders do.
"We really do need a way out of here," said Lewis Greene, who lives on Wynnwood Street, not far from the access point to the neighborhood.
Sitting in his living room, he reflected on the possibility that the trains could have exploded.
"All this would have been toasted," he said, waving his arm in an arch before a window with a view of nearby homes.
Greene thinks the derailment happened for a reason – to bring attention to the neighborhood's predicament.
On Aug. 23, about 30 people attended a neighborhood organizational meeting at Archie Blue Community Park.
At the meeting, they decided to form a neighborhood association to formally push for the access.
"People were encouraged to continue to fight on," said McMillan, who was designated as the association's interim president.
City Councilman Kevin O'Grady, who attended the neighborhood meeting, told residents the city is working with CSX to see what assistance it can offer.
"I think we have a unique situation here," O'Grady said in an interview. "It's not just that they only have one access. They have one access and it crosses train tracks, at a curve no less."
O'Grady said it was fortunate no one was injured in the recent derailment.
"Next time we may not be that lucky," he said.
City leaders seem to agree that Love Grove's single access is a problem. Yet the solution, and who pays for it, is less clear.
The city is a key player because it controls King Street, the only way into the neighborhood, as is CSX, which operates the railroad tracks that cross it.
Although neighbors are anxious, nothing will happen overnight. For one, several entities must cooperate to come to a solution.
"It's a rather unique problem because the neighborhood is surrounded by water but for that main entrance where the tracks run in front, and so the solution for the problem is considerably expensive," said state Rep. Susi Hamilton, a Democrat. "It's definitely a conundrum."
Hamilton, who said she has serious concerns about the limited access, has told city officials she is willing to work with other state legislators and the state Department of Transportation to resolve the issue.
In the meantime, the timeline depends partly on CSX, which aims to do a comprehensive review of its railroad crossings in Wilmington, said Deputy City Manager Tony Caudle. That review will allow CSX to assess needs for upgrades or changes, he said. The CSX representative he spoke with did not say how long that would take, which concerns him.
"The community would like to have a more expeditious answer," Caudle said.
Ultimately, Caudle said city staff will likely bring possible alternatives for a second access to city council within a year.
Already, Ron Sparks, an engineer and former city councilman, has recommended building a bridge connecting Love Grove to One Tree Hill Way off North 23rd Street. He estimated the project would cost more than $3.4 million.
But other options remain. Without knowing what the preferred second access would be, it is difficult to know the exact price tag.
If there was consensus on where a second access could go, it is likely the city would foot some of the bill. But who all pays depends on who you ask.
Councilwoman Laura Padgett has said New Hanover County and CSX should share the expense of a second access. It is unclear if CSX would be willing to chip in money for such a project.
Carla Groleau, a CSX spokeswoman, would not answer the question directly. "CSX has been in discussions with the city, and looks forward to continued discussions with the city and the state to evaluate access and possible alternatives," Groleau wrote in an email.
Mayor Pro Tem Earl Sheridan would like to see CSX and the state involved in paying for a second access, which he believes is needed.
"I think it's a public safety issue," he said. "Who wants to have it on their conscience that the train derailed and there were people killed?"

What is the tension in the rope nearer the 669N worker when he stands 1 m from one end? Find the tension in the cable. Answer in units of N.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.
A window worker is standing on a scaffold supported by a vertical rope at each end. The scaffold weighs 262 N and is 3.09 m long.
- print Print
- list Cite
The scaffold AB is of length 3.09.
Let the centre of gravity G be the mid point of AB. So, AG= 3.09/2=1.545m
Let the Man stand at X i.e 1 m from B. Then AX=2.09 and XB=1m
Now the tension in the rpoe at A be T1 Upward and the tension,T2 at B is upward . 262N the wight force of the scaffold at G is downward and 669N downward, the wetght force of the worker at X are the the forces acting.
Since the scaffold is at equilibrium,
i)The resulting sum of the forces on the scaffold is zero and
ii) the sum of the moments of the about any point is zero.
By condtion (i) T1+T2-262N-66N=0 or
By condition (ii) Taking moments of the forces about A,we get:
clockwise moment+anticlock wise moments
Therefore, T2= (1.545*262+2.09*669)=583.4951N
Therefore, T1= 931-T2=347.5049N
Here the weight of worker and the scaffold are already specified in N. Therefore I assume that weight refers to force exerted due to gravity, which equals mass multiplied by acceleration of gravity.
The two ropes support the weight of scaffold plus the weight of the worker.
The weight of the scaffold will be supported equally by the two ropes. However, weight of the worker supported by each worker will be shared in inverse proportion of distance of the worker from the ropes.
Let us name the two ropes as rope A, which is nearer to the worker, and rope B. Distance of worker from rope A = 1 m
Then distance of worker from rope B
= (Length of scaffold) - (Distance of worker from rope A)
= 3.08 - 1 = 2.08 m
Then the weight of worker (669 N) supported by rope A
And weight of worker supported by rope B = 669 - 451.79 = 217.21 N
Weight of scaffold supported by each of rope A and B =262/2 131 N
Therefore total weight supported by rope A = 451.79 + 131 = 582.79 N
And total weight supported by rope B = 217.21 + 131 = 348.21 N
Tension in rope nearer to worker = 582.79 N
and tension in other rope = 348.21 N

With the Christmas spirit already in the air, Citadel thinks it the perfect time to take a look at the Christian community in the city.
By Prajakta Pandhare
It's that time of the year when people gear up for the festivities that line up the season. Christmas is indeed just around the corner, and what better time to take a closer look at the Christian community in Pune?
The most important aspect regarding this community in the city is that it is not a homogenous group. The Christian community in Pune is a multi-cultural and multi-lingual group. There are many different groups within the community, such as Marathi Christians, Goan Christians, Mangalorean Christians, Tamil Christians and others. But here's a glimpse into the community as a whole...
Christianity as a religion came to India around 400 years ago, for the first time in Goa. But the first converts are said to have existed as far back as around 2000 years ago. That was the time when the disciple of Jesus Christ, St Thomas, came to Kerala in the first century. Later, in 14th century, Christianity was again introduced in the country by the Portuguese in places like Vasai and Goa. It's believed that these Portuguese were religious fanatics. This was the beginning of Christianity in India; it gradually spread all across the country.
The British had conquered Pune in 1818. During this time, there were no local Christians. There were no conversions in Pune. It was mostly the migratory Christian population that set up their community here. Many Goan Christian soldiers were part of the Peshwa army. Since there were many Christian soldiers in the city by this time, there was a need for a church. In the year 1792, Madhavrao Peshwa gave some land to the Christians to build a church. It was thus that the City Church aka the Immaculate Conception Church was built as the first church in Pune. Later in 1859, St Patrick's Cathedral came into existence.
The Church as a Religious Institution Churches were primarily built for the soldiers and officers who were Goans, British, Irish and other Europeans, who were part of either the Maratha or British army. The British army headquarters in Pune were in the Khadki and Camp areas; thus many churches were built in these areas.
Shifting focus towards the church as an institution, Rt Rev Thomas Dabre, Bishop of Poona, says, "The church is not a club. It's neither a cultural association nor a non- governmental philanthropic social organisation.
The church is essentially a community of the disciples of Jesus. It's a community in which there's no caste system, no gender discrimination and no social divide and stratification." He adds that through this community of the disciples of Jesus Christ, the church expresses its faith through service and compassion, for which Mother Teresa is a world acclaimed icon.
Worship: Christians consider Jesus as Christ or the Messiah. For them, the Bible is their holy book. The two major groups of Christianity are Catholics and Protestants; another such group is the Eastern Orthodox Church. Worldwide, Catholics form the biggest group, except in England and The United States. In India, Christians are basically the converts. They are either old converts or new converts. Rt Rev Thomas Dabre puts forth a few principles of Christianity: l To love God and to love your fellowmen: the greatest commandment by Jesus Christ; l This love of God and love of fellowmen should be manifested through service of people in difficulty, in need and in deprivation, as exemplified in the story of the 'Parable of the Good Samaritan'; l Jesus taught us that we must forgive one another and there should be no revenge, retaliation, violence and terrorism. So even when He was killed on the cross, he forgave the perpetrators who put him through Crucifixion.
Holy Mass : A Mass is placed by the Christians at the centre of their faith. For them, Mass
implies a deeper meaning. In simple words, may it be a Sunday Mass or weekday Mass, it is an important aspect of Christianity. Rt Rev Thomas Dabre explains, "Jesus celebrated the last supper with
his apostles. For the wellbeing and salvation of all humanity, Jesus sacrificed himself
on the cross. These two are the most fundamental events of Christianity. These are remembered and made present in the Holy Mass.
" Though it's a heterogeneous mix of Christian community in Pune, for a Mass they all come together. Camil Parkhe, journalist and author, says, "For English Mass, all the Christians come together. Thus English Mass binds all the people together. But you will find a Mass in almost all other languages too, like Tamil, Marathi, Konkani, etc."
Sneha Sadan in Pune is the House of Dialogue of religion and culture. It was started around 40 years ago by the Society of Jesus (SJ). Fr Joe Gaikwad, SJ Trustee, Sneha Sadan, says, "In 1962-65, there was a worldwide conference in Rome, called the Vatican II. In this conference, inter-religious dialogue came up; the awareness that we should interact with people of other faiths. This council opened the doors
to approach other people, and take good teachings from other religions; and thus bridges were built." He adds that as a follow-up of this conference, Sneha Sadan was made the centre for inter-religious dialogue in the city. Thus, for non-Christians in the city, this was a new experience altogether. The basic idea was to give and take and clarify misunderstandings of the past regarding a religion. The House was open for satsang and prayers, for people who wanted counselling, and for those who had spiritual quests. The hall of the House was used for religious programmes, meditation, cultural programmes such as experimental theatre,
etc; that too for a minimal rate. There's a library too, which has several books on religion, philosophy, and sociology.
Fr Gaikwad goes on to say, "For the first 20 years, the House was very active; there were a lot of activities happening. But since the last few years, the frequency of these activities has become less. Nowadays, people are less interested in religion; so very few people come here."
But in spite of all this, celebrations like Christmas and Good Friday are still undertaken with utter zeal. Now, college students come to the House to study at the study hall.
Celebrations: For Christians, their main festivals are Christmas, Easter, Good Friday and Mother
Mary's birthday. Christmas is celebrated in honour of the birth of Jesus Christ, on December 25. Good Friday marks the death of Christ on the cross, a Friday in April. Easter is the third day after Christ's death, ie, a Sunday. This was when Jesus Christ rose again from death, also called the resurrection. Mother Mary's birthday is celebrated on September 8.
Rt Rev Thomas Dabre says about Christmas, "For us Christians, Christmas is primarily a spiritual celebration, and not cultural or narrowly social. There's a growing commercialisation of Christmas. There's also what I would call reduction of Christmas to fun and fanfare. But these are not so important. Christmas is a commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ. In Jesus Christ, God has become man. So for us, Christmas
is a time to encounter and experience God and to affirm the need of God in our lives."
The happiness and celebration of the community is expressed through worship, prayers, church visits, the making of a replica of the birth of Jesus Christ in a manger.

This is an alright bar. They had a small but decent draft list. Mostly NJ and PA craft, with some other well know places thrown in. Examples would be: Cape May, DFH, Yards, etc. Bartender was friendly. We only eat wings, but they were tasty as well. Decent spot for this area, but this would just be another bar and would not even be worth adding in a city with decent beer bars.
orangesol (159) Pennsylvania | June 24, 2013| Updated August 12, 2013
I have been here a few times, figured I would stop in today and finally write up a formal review. This place has all of the old school charm you would expect from being in downtown Cape May. There is plenty of room to spread out including a large outdoor seating area if you want to dine out there. Inside there are a couple different dining rooms as well as a back garden area. A medium sized bar area with lots of paintings, a few TV's and plenty of natural light. Quality is pretty high across the board. Top notch food ingredients and beers are served in the correct glasses. Service is quite good from my experiences. They probably won't be able to answer your beer questions but they are attentive which makes up for it. My glass has never been empty for very long here.
Selection is what I like to think of as the typical restaurant selection these days. About 6-7 craft taps, usually 1-2 being local, and the other usual suspects filling in the rest. Some dogfish and other known crafts and a dedicated Cape May Brewing tap round out the craft, with the big boys filling in the rest. Food is where this place shines. They are most known for their excellent breakfast foods, they are a little pricy but well worth it. All of the food is hand made using fresh, top notch ingredients. I have yet to have a bad meal here. Prices are a touch high across the board but any place you go in downtown Cape May will be the same. Overall, it isn't a beer bar or anything but it is a perfect weekend brunch spot if you are in town.

The Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens is designed for Canon EOS DSLRs that have an APS-C format sensor (1.6x crop). The 15-85mm range is a natural substitute for the Canon EF 28-135mm IS lens on the Canon 50D, Canon Rebel T1i and Canon 7D.
High performance flexible wide angle zoom: With an effective focal length range of approximately 24-136mm (35 mm equivalent), the EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is a lens that delivers outstanding flexibility while delivering remarkable image quality. With its wider angle than many comparable lenses, it captures more of the scene and adds a greater sense of space and perspective to your photography.
Image Stabilizer: The EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM features Canon's 4-stop Image Stabilizer (IS). Ideal for handheld work, IS allows the use of shutter speeds up to 4 stops slower without causing image blur. The Image Stabilizer helps when shooting in low light conditions or from moving vehicles.
Looks as good as it performs: The EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM features Canon's new exterior design, with a textured finish for a high quality look and feel, that matches your EOS camera.
Ultra fast, ultra quiet auto focus: The ring USM (Ultrasonic motor) uses ultrasonic frequency vibrations to drive responsive, near-silent high speed auto focus.
The ring type USM allows full time manual focus override without having to switch out of AF, for a greater level of usability.
Super Spectra coatings: Lens elements are coated using Canon's Super Spectra lens coating which suppresses flare and prevents ghosting – which is more prone to occur with digital cameras due to reflection off the image sensor.
Canon's Super Spectra coating also helps achieve true colour balance and increase contrast for vivid images.
Creative background blur: A 7 blade circular aperture enables photographers to achieve a beautiful background blur; ideal for isolating your subject from the background.

Freedom of Speech is the birth right of every Indian citizen whether he/ she exercises it or not. No politicians, minister, celebrity or important person has the right to deprive any citizen of this country in the shadow of power to deprive them of their basic fundamental rights.
For a nation to blossom, for economies to grow, and for stable healthy environment, right to freedom is must. No country has ever witnessed growth under slavery or dictatorship. Indians experienced brutal slavery under Britisher's rule, which hampered our growth largely during early years. It was only after we got independence, our growth to pinnacle started and we have reached the point, where we are the fastest and advanced growing economies of the world.
Narendra Modi won the heart of country and became the Prime minister of India due to power of speech and word. Such is power of speech that it can move nations. It can build nation or it can destroy whole dynasty. He won the hearts' of billion's Hindustani, as he used right words at right place at right time. Had he not used them wisely and in intelligent manner, we would still be the victim of the UPA government one more time. So right to speech is the liberty given to all (including politicians too), but if put to use in constructive manner and not destructive way.
JNU incidents is one the recent examples of disrespect to the liberty of speech, where it was used by the rebel student to create a clamour and disturbance in the country. Students cited Anti-Indians slogans and created commotion in the entire nation, thereby bringing shame to the world known varsity and nation.When questioned to them about their conduct, they said it is our "Fundamental right to speech and nobody can take it away from us." Agreed it is a fundamental right powered to them by Indian constitution, but it has largely put them on world media citing the fundamental instilled in them.
Indian should never use there liberty to such an extent that it transgresses all borders of basic conduct. Such right was given to all citizens to encourage nation's growth through active participation in social, political and economical activities of the country.

A beautiful little picture bookAn attractive book that has a number of interesting ideas, though it starts to look the same after a while and the text can drive me batty.
Lovely photography, many interesting ideas.
Many similar poses, annoying wording.
Content / Style / Audience
Lesbian Sex 101 is a rather lovely little thing, and I am very happy to have bought it. 101 beautiful pictures are displayed on its pages, each with description of the actions, to stimulate the mind and the bedroom with many potential poses. It's presented in a tasteful manner that is friendly to people new to their sexuality. The pictures show attractive, genuinely happy women enjoying themselves, which translates to a far better experience for the reader of the book. There are two annoying points to the book though. The positions, after a while, seem to start looking very similar, so much in fact I would not consider all of them different positions, thus reducing the number to around 85 or something similar. Also, the wording uses many euphemisms. Many people would like this approach, I'm sure, but I would prefer a far more straightforward approach, simply saying "this goes here and then one does this" rather than adding all of the gloss they insert into the captions. We do not need that many words for vagina. Still, it is a beautiful, enjoyable book, and the little problems can be easily ignored by simply not over thinking the picture book.
Smaller than I had expected, so easy to put in a bag. Well made and laid out.
Personal comments
Though sometimes you start wondering if #xx isn't just another picture of #yy and I want to strangle whoever wrote the descriptions, I recommend this book to anyone if for nothing more than an art book.
This content is the opinion of the submitting contributor and is not endorsed by EdenFantasys.com
Just curious--what kind of euphemisms were used and which positions were portrayed? Nice review.

Developers of xue chipo love to solve puzzles and offer us to do the same, this time trying to get out of the gloomy prison facilities. Some of their games are invited to choose from twenty different rooms, others open a dozen other safe and so on. As for the series of games about the escape from prison incarceration, the three games here! And to be honest, they look like two drops of water, what, in my opinion, their main drawback.
In fact, you can download the first, second or third part, yes, the levels will be different, but the graphics and feed absolutely identical, what is more, every single part contains quite a few levels, so that in their place would be worth to combine it all into one the application and not to take anyone's head, but did not. Each part contains advertising, but does not imply Donat, who in these games are not common.
There is no logic, and not necessary.
If you want to approach this game (and many similar) from the point of view of common sense, then I will do not recommend, it is not here. Generally difficult to imagine a prison where the door is opened from the inside, and the key that there somewhere and hide, and sometimes it can get a fairly simple puzzle solving ... but it is a problem of the genre, in principle, not a particular project. In any case, if you like the game, then this position and you do not mind, so we'll see that the game is ready to offer.
Features Can You Escape Prison Room 2?
Result: the project is not much stands out among the hundreds of similar and can not offer anything revolutionary, but if you're not tired of this - try, the game is free.

Helping to make your dog be satisfied consists of being familiar with what it evolved from and exactly what its fundamental instincts rule it.
Were you aware that your pet dog evolved from the wolf. This just took place as recently as fifteen thousand years back consequently no matter what your breeds contour, its key desires remain dependant on just what the wolf might need to do.Primarily the wolf is a meat eater plus a tracker.
When it's not having fun with the pack and assessing its spot in that pack, the wolf is usually on the look for prey.So the most joyful wolf is actually one which appreciates its place in the pack, an has security in its function. It's also very happy when it is coordinating with its pack while they run to learn how to trap their victim and effect a kill. It really is as content as possible when it's fulfilling its function and it is going to consume or have the ability to provide food back to the younger pups.
Now any time people obtain dogs for domestic pets, they generally get them based upon specific things like breed look and disposition.
A number of people may buy dogs because they are lively or quiet. Although this can be best for people, it is doing practically nothing to satisfy the needs of the dog. And masters can shortly see that an depressed dog produces an miserable household and community. It's correct that ninety percent of dog troubles are usually settled by copious amounts of on-lead and leadless training and a proper diet. Although they are just the beginning points of gratifying a dog.Watch for the following web log where satisfying a dogs strong requirements is disclosed.

On Saturday, little known boxer out of Gilroy, California, Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero will be the latest person to try and defeat Floyd "Money" Mayweather. Forty two men have tried (he's 43-0, but faced José Luis Castillo twice) and none have conquered (and most, haven't really come close).
What is different about Guerrero? Why would he be the one to defeat Mayweather? The answer may not lie in what Guerrero has or doesn't have. It may lie in what's different about Mayweather.
Mayweather last fought on May 5, 2012 against Miguel Cotto. It was an exciting fight and one in which Mayweather spent more time than expected standing right in front of the still dangerous Cotto. He was also hit harder than most people were used to seeing. Some said it showed Mayweather's toughness. Some said his speed and defense slipped.
And then jail happened. On June 1, Mayweather went to jail for 87 days for domestic abuse. He was arrested for beating Josie Harris, the mother of his kids. On Wednesday, Yahoo! Sports writer Martin Rogers published an account of what happened that night according to Harris.
Mayweather and Harris were no longer together; the boxer had by then installed Jackson in his home and as his main love interest. But, according to Harris, it was not acceptable to Mayweather for her to see other men while living in a house he owned.
"Are you having sex with C.J.?" Mayweather yelled at Harris, according to the arrest report.
"Yes, that is who I am seeing now," she replied.
Mayweather then grabbed her by the hair and punched her in the back of the head "with a closed fist several times," according to the report. He then pulled her off the couch by her hair and twisted her left arm.
Jackson would be Mayweather's current girlfriend, known better as Miss Jackson on the HBO 24/7 television show and now Showtime's All Access. CJ would be CJ Watson, point guard for the Brooklyn Nets.
While this isn't the place for judgments, it's safe to say that Mayweather and his family didn't have the best year of their lives.
On the flip side is Guerrero. Guerrero's took time off from boxing in 2011 as his wife Casey battled leukemia. While talking to Lance Pugmire of the LA Times, Guerrero said that taking care of his ill wife and his children shaped him.
"It took me as a man to a whole different level," Guerrero said last week. "To be her caregiver. To give her the shots she needed, to take her to the doctor, give her food, watching her side effects, being mother and father when she was sick.
"You have to keep it together, be upbeat. It makes you a mentally tougher person, teaches you that you can work harder than you think you can."
Her illness is currently in remission.
Guerrero returned to beat hard-punching though stand-still fighter Selçuk Aydin and then, in his best performance, beat Andre Berto last November. Guerrero, whose nickname is the Ghost because of how hard he was to hit when he was younger, stood toe-to-toe with Berto fighting on the inside and bullying the stronger fighter. Berto was favored, but was overwhelmed and Guerrero won by unanimous decision.
Mayweather is coming off a tough fight against Miguel Cotto and a near-three month stint in jail. Guerrero is coming off the greatest victory of his career while being inspired by his wife's determination to beat cancer. Guerrero should have a chance right? Well, not so fast. Mayweather's still a 7-1 favorite. His father, Floyd Sr. is back in his camp as his lead trainer alongside his uncle Roger. And he's still the best boxer in the world.
Duan Greally, who writes with me at Fight Game Blog, and I have predictions for the fight. And while we love Guerrero's chances, we're hard pressed to pick against Mayweather.
Duan's pick
I will go on record as saying I think Guerrero is being undervalued in this fight. I have long since said that the gap at the top of this sport is shrinking. There are guys out there now who are capable of competing with Floyd Mayweather and Robert Guerrero is one of them. I'm not trying to give you the hard sell on this one either. I genuinely believe Mayweather has work to do on Saturday night.
I do expect Floyd to come through this, but not without a scare or two along the way. Mayweather is another year older and he's up against an opponent who is still fresh and hungry; which is something we haven't seen him have to deal with a lot in recent years. Victor Ortiz wasn't tough enough mentally to provide that kind of test, but I think Guerrero will be. "The Ghost" is extremely well-rounded, he's battle tested, and most importantly, he's in his prime. He's also shown that he's strong at 147 pounds based on his last two fights, so I think this is the weight that best suits both guys. He is going to put it up to Mayweather in this fight – and we're going to learn something about how the sport stands right now. I'll say Floyd does enough to get by, but Guerrero shows he belongs.
Prediction: Mayweather by decision – 7 round to 5 or 8 rounds to 4.
GG's pick
Like Duan, I think the gap is closing between Mayweather and the second tier of fighters. We saw what happened with Manny Pacquiao against Juan Manuel Marquez. All it takes is a single step backward that can mean all the difference. And that's why I think this fight will be close.
Robert is going to have to deal with being on the biggest stage and could come out rusty. But I fully believe that he and his corner will figure out what it will take to score on Mayweather. Guerrero isn't as slick as Mayweather, but he's still slick. He's had success on the inside lately too. If Mayweather is just a slight step slower that he has been based on the time off, Guerrero will be able to win several rounds. However, I don't expect the judges to side with him. There will be some close rounds that go to Mayweather. And Mayweather will know how to close the fight out, winning the late rounds to take the decision.
Prediction: Mayweather by decision – 8 rounds to 4.

SOUTH Yorkshire bus shelters are being fitted with LED lights in a bid to save energy.
South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive is replacing lights in more than 2,000 shelters county-wide, saving about £150,000 a year.
The move will see energy consumption slashed by an estimated 61 per cent reducing costs of power and maintenance.
LED lighting has a much longer lifespan, is brighter and more reliable than regular fluorescent lighting and, because of this, the new lights will also reduce maintenance budget costs.
It will also ensure the bus stops have a brighter appearance, making them more attractive to use at night.
SYPTE has developed a carbon management plan which seeks to reduce the organisation's carbon footprint by 40 per cent over the next three years.
David Brown, SYPTE director general, said: "Reducing carbon is a target for many organisations over the next few years and we are no different.
"These new LED lights may individually make a small difference, but installed at thousands of bus stops throughout South Yorkshire they add up to a considerable electricity and financial saving."

my colleagues in parenting, aw do u potty train?
Chisomquee is absolutely correct!!
i managed to potty train both my children at about 9 to10mths. Once they can sit up properly on their own.All you need to do is put him/her on the potty at the same time every morning, preferably after a drink of warm water. you may need to amuse your child so she will stay, i had to sit there in front of each with a toy, something rattly and noisy but i wasnt working full time at the time. if you have a house help you can get her to stay with your child and amuse her with a toy or music. When he /she has done the big one make a song and dance of it, ''Good boy,etc''. Then make sure you take her off so she doesnt associate the potty with a chair! if you are patient and do this for several weeks she/he will associate the potty with poopoo and eventually start asking for the potty. it worked for me and my children are of both sexes, and there was not much difference in their attitude to the potty.
when your baby is around 8mths,when the baby wakes in the morning,put the child on the potty and hold him or her,continue that for some weeks,the child will get used to it,with time when the baby wants to use the potty,the child will go and take the potty,the thing is for your to start on time.

The metabolic syndrome is a cluster of common pathologies: abdominal obesity linked to an excess of visceral fat, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension. At the molecular level, metabolic syndrome is accompanied not only by dysregulation in the expression of adipokines, cytokines, and chemokines but also by alterations in insulin and leptin signaling, oxidative stress, and chronic low grade inflammation. These changes affect immune responses and mediate chronic inflammation leading to alterations in the hypothalamic 'bodyweight/appetite/satiety set point'. It is becoming increasingly evident that metabolic syndrome is a risk factor for neurological disorders such as stroke, depression, and Alzheimer disease (AD). Family history, age, environmental and lifestyle factors (diet and physical inactivity, and exposure to toxins) are closely associated with predisposition for the development of metabolic syndrome as well as neurological disorders. The incidences of stroke are 2 to 4-fold higher in patients with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases compared to normal subjects of the same age. Similarly, patients with metabolic syndrome have a 2 to 3-fold increased risk for developing dementia and AD. Metabolic syndrome doubles the risk of depression. The molecular mechanism underlying the mirror relationship between metabolic syndrome and neurological disorders is not fully understood. However, biochemical alterations observed in metabolic syndrome like induction of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, impairment of endothelial cell function, induction of insulin and leptin resistance, hyperglycemia-related increase in advanced glycation end-products, and micro-vascular injury may represent a pathological bridge between metabolic syndrome and neurological disorders
