Strange, Matt, I don't think my ISO 1000 ever come out this clean, I only dare to go as high as 800.
rest in peace, Abby.
Rob, very nice, the one of the waves is pretty cool... how'd you get such shallow depth of field? And the last shot of your daughter is very cute :P Hope you had fun!
Dennys... La Sagrada Familia is pretty cool... I believe Gaudi is buried under it. Very nice photo
Not quite an M.. but it IS Leica Digital! Traded off my busted Summitar (Sorry rob :C) for a Digilux 1 today
Very noisy shots... but I love it, a very raw feel to it.

Traded the Summitar for a Digilux1 , *sniff* good call!
re: DoF I set the camera for f2, and about 1.2 metres focus, just off minimum distance and crouched down really low to the water ( checking to make sure no big waves were following!)
Time for new directions and new thoughts in my photos. The book is done, the book signing and reception is next Thursday! Woo hoo!

Matt! I'd like to know a little more about those Nik add-ons! I think the Digilux 1 needs a little help in noise clean-up :P
Rob, yes Sorry my friend! There IS a little sellers remorse in me... the summitar was a great little lens, and the glass was good. I just personally couldn't deal with it The Digilux is a lot of fun though, great little camera... easily one of my favourites. The Battery doesnt seem to last any longer than 3 hours though so I need to pick up another.
Godfrey, I'm flipping through your book now... and it's great :P I love the idea and execution... very cute

The Leica Digilux 1 is quite an impressive camera... Misses focus sometimes, and produces some funky colours... doesn't handle anything over ISO 100 quite well (even though it only has 100, 200, and 400)... but cool.

they almost dropped their brother , 7 kids, 6 girls and 1 boy ( who is the youngest btw , the dad says once they got a boy they would stop having kids)
and I also shot a few of one of the couples , kind of an ad hoc deal as he was unshaven and dressed in shorts and a dirty T shirt, but I did the best I could

In a rush... going to Seattle for the weekend in less than half an hour... BUT ONE LAST POST!
Hillary and I went to an interview with an architect (well two architects) yesterday. Their work was fantastic, surprising coming from a two-man (well, one man one woman) team! They were friendly, relaxed, and welcoming. They shared a little with us and we with them. In the end we ended up sort of landing a position helping them out around the office, doing the smaller tasks they haven't had time to do yet. It's nice being able to help while learning a little from them! Hope it lasts :P If anyone is interested in their work... their site is here:

After the interview/work session, we celebrated Hillary's birthday with a few friends who couldn't make it out on her actual birthday. Mariah and Alfred are a cute couple They took us to a small party after, in which Alfred engaged in a small "rap battle" which was... kind of really good, and kinda silly. Alfred is surprisingly good at... rap.

The 25mm Biogon was delivered today... Took a few quick shots to make sure it works. Boy, was it sharp. The second image is the crop of the first one showing the top of the tree. The only thing I can complain about the lens is related to the frameline and lens profile. I read that it is best coded as 28mm Elmarit ASPH, but since it brings up the 35mm frameline, the camera will not recognize it. I would have to remember to flip the frameline toggle to 28mm in order for it to register. Then, since Lightroom doesn't allow you to modify the EXIF data easily, that screws up my automatic image border
Anyway, the real 28mm Elmarit ASPH is also on its way, so I'll shoot with both for a while and make a decision later. Knowing how lazy I am, the future looks grim for the Biogon, unless it really knocks me off my feet.
No PP:
It's gonna be hard to get use to this wide field of view... It's pretty much the entire VF.

Glad you got it, David. It's a great lens. I'm lazy too, thats why even though I have 5 external viewfinders for my lenses for the Leica, I almost never bother with them. The 25 I just figure it fills the viewfinder. 99% of the time, that works well enough.
Looking forward to more from you with that baby!
Robert, Mike and Denny, thank you
Robert, the 50 Nocti here is the earlier version f/1.0, about 16 years old. Almost affordable
David, great lens the ZM 25! I did use the CV 21/25 external finder and still use it with the 24 Lux. It is small, cheap and works well. Best is that you can see outside the 25 frame line for composing the shot.

This video which claims to show the corpse of an alien baby found by a Mexican farmer in 2007 seems to prove that even Mexico has a problem with illegal aliens. The farmer, Marao Lopez, drowned it in a ditch out of fear, and now two years later scientists have finally been able to announce the results of their tests. But how do they know this alien is a baby?
One Simple Question: What would an alien baby be doing running around on a Mexican farm? And the Mexican farmer who found the baby, and drowned it, is now suddenly dead, allegedly by the parents of the alien baby, although no one has seen these alien parent or asked them why they would let their baby run around on a planet as dangerous as Earth.
A word of advice: If you see an alien baby running around in your back yard, tell him his alien parents are looking for him.
UFO puzzle: Alien baby or elaborate hoax? — Daily Telegraph
Mexican TV revealed the almost unbelievable story – in 2007, a baby 'alien' was found alive by a farmer in Mexico.
He drowned it in a ditch out of fear, and now two years later scientists have finally been able to announce the results of their tests on this sinister-looking carcass.
At the end of last year the farmer, Marao Lopez, handed the corpse over to university scientists who carried out DNA tests and scans.
He claimed that it took him three attempts to drown the creature and he had to hold it underwater for hours.
Tests revealed a creature that is unknown to scientists – its skeleton has characteristics of a lizard, its teeth do not have any roots like humans and it can stay underwater for a long time. But it also has some similar joints to humans.
Its brain was huge, particularly the rear section, leading scientists to the conclusion that the odd creature was very intelligent.
But it has seemingly left experts stumped.
And in a further mystery, Lopez has since mysteriously died.
According to American UFO expert Joshua P. Warren, the farmer burned to death in a parked car at the side of a road.
The flames apparently had a far higher temperature than in a normal fire!
Now there are rumours that the parents of the creature Lopez drowned were the ones who in turn killed him out of revenge.

How to Remove Registry Errors for Freeby Jason Spidle
The registry is a system database that houses the Windows operating system, software and hardware configurations. Each time an update, application or hardware driver is installed on Windows, additional registry items are created and modified to accommodate the new features. Over time, as items are both added and removed from the Windows operating system, the registry begins to have errors when conflicts arise or empty registry items are left behind as software is removed. There are a number of free utilities that can be installed to resolve registry errors and clean the system of registry issues.
Download and install CCleaner (see Resources).
Launch CCleaner.
Click the "Registry" button.
Click "Scan for Issues." CCleaner will search for errors and other problems in the registry.
Click "Fix Selected Issues."
Click "Yes" to save the registry backup to "C:\Program Files\CCleaner" before the registry changes are made. Once the backup is saved, CCleaner will correct registry errors.
Glary Utilities
Download and install Glary Utilities (see Resources).
Launch Glary Utilities.
Enable "Registry Cleaner" and any other modules you wish to use in your scan.
Click "Scan for Issues."
Click "Repair Problems" once the scan is complete to resolve registry errors.
Download and install EasyCleaner (see Resources).
Launch EasyCleaner.
Click "Registry."
Click "Find."
Click "Save" to back up your registry.
Click "Delete All" to remove the registry errors identified by EasyCleaner.

is now an unorganized township in Somerset County after having been a town for over 100 years.
Incorporated on January 25, 1821 from Plantation Number One, R1, BKP., WKR., it surrendered its organized status on July 6, 1935, and thus became deorganized.
The Great Depression of the 1930's forced many marginal towns, unable to raise the taxes necessary to function, to "deorganize" and have the State take over their assets and liabilities.
Fletcher Mountain is a long northeast-southwest aligned highland in the north central area of the township. In 2009 an application to place wind turbines on the mountain was in process.
The township occupies the west bank of the Kennebec River across from Bingham. Maine Route 16, also known as the Kennebec River Road, follows the river through Concord.
Lily, also known as Merrill, Pond is shallow, at a maximum of six feet, and is unsuitable for cold water fish. The primary catch is chain pickerel in this bog-like 25-acre waterbody, which drains into the Kennebec River.

I have no legal views to share with you this month. But would like you to know that Judy and I are still doing well. On Sept. 25, 2013, after 10 days we said Aloha to Maui once again. We had a great time. I had to avoid the sun and heat and Judy was limited in how far she could walk so we missed a few things like our sunset walks in the surf but we stayed active and managed 8 scuba dives.
Eric, Judy and Tom on the B & B Scuba boat. We have been diving with B & B Scuba for 13 years and they were wonderful in accommodating our needs and limits. Eric is a Dive Master. Both Judy and I are also Dive Masters and have actually done some dive guiding in these waters.
Above, Judy is playing with a school of Reticulated Butterflyfish.
This Stag Horn coral is home to an Arch Eyed Hawkfish, Yellow Tangs, and Damselfish among others.
A very pretty Orange Spined Surgeonfish. It is called a surgeonfish because the spine near its tail is blade sharp and is used as a defensive weapon.
A Yellow Margin Eel and some red Soldierfish.
A Spotted Whitemouth Eel
A Spotted Eagle Ray did a fly by.
A pair of Moorish Idols. They have such pretty faces.
This is an unusual posture for a Sea Turtle. Just hanging Hawaii loose.
Judy's shot of Tom taking pictures.
It was admittedly a lot of effort requiring special preparation for us to dive. I am a little weaker (maybe because of the sequencing of chemo) and in more pain than in May when we went to Grand Turk. I am using a special mouthpiece because I can only open my mouth wide enough to insert one finger. I also have a special low profile feeding tube button that I can cover with a waterproof vacuum bandage to seal the hole in my belly.
Judy feels low on oxygen probably because her chemo reduces her red blood cells so she used Nitrox on all dives. The air we breath is 21% Oxygen, 78% nitrogen and 1% other (mostly argon). The Nitrox Judy used was enriched to 36% oxygen. Nitrox requires special training as oxygen can be toxic on deep dives but we stay at 50 feet and above. The effort was worth it because once we are underwater, I truly feel alive. We both feel better underwater than on land. We are weightless and move about slowly studying the animals with little effort.
The heat is hard on me. Judy says my thermostat is broken. We took drives in our air-conditioned car and went to the air-conditioned aquarium one day.
We both feel so very fortunate to have traveled and dived around the world (See my March 2013 entry, "A Rich Life). I am proud of the above pendant because I designed (or at least had the concept for) this pendant Judy wears more often than not. The black pearl represents the world and the two dolphins represent Tom and Judy. Judy is the dolphin in front in white gold and Tom is the dolphin in back in yellow gold. To me it represents the joy, like two playful dolphins, we have shared scuba diving which has often taken us to exotic places.

We were the only two people crossing paths in the hall.
'Hey!' she said with a smile. 'How are you?'
I paused mid-step with intention of replying. But she didn't stop. She kept on walking, without so much as a glance in my direction.
Huh?? I was confused. She had asked me a question. If she didn't want to carry on a conversation, that was alright with me. This was the workplace, after all. But why didn't she just hold her tongue and smile? Or even just left it at a simple hello? Why take the time to add in the 'how are you' part?
Realization hit me hard in the back hallway.
She did not care.
From that moment, I vowed to be honest with people. If I was not interested in their response, or if I didn't have the time to stop and listen to what the other person had to say, I refused to ask 'how are you?' I didn't want to mislead anyone, friend or foe.
Thankfully, God cares! My Creator regards me as a precious treasure. He saw me before I was even born and has precious thoughts about me (Psalm 139:16, 17). Not only does He care a great deal for me, He also cares about me (1 Peter 5:7). The stuff that matters to me? He wants to be entrusted with it so that He can take care of all those things because they're a part of my life. No detail of our lives is too petty for God to handle.
God loves to ask us how we're doing. He is eager to hear all the specifics of whatever is on our hearts–the good, the bad, the ugly. He is patient and graceful and always, always has time for us.
I'm linking up with Kate as she leads the five-minute Friday community.

Brock Pierce (born November 14, 1980) is an American entrepreneur known for his work in the Cryptocurrency industry and former child actor. As a child actor, he was in Disney films The Mighty Ducks (1992), D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994) and First Kid (1996).
Bitcoin/cryptocurrency career[edit]
Pierce is known for his work with Bitcoin and other digital currencies, as an advisor, founder, and investor. Pierce has invested in over 30 companies in the blockchain ecosystem, helped raise over $200MM for companies he is involved with, is a mentor for startup accelerators,[2] and runs a top AngelList syndicate.[3][4]
Pierce was elected Director of the Bitcoin Foundation in 2014. His election led several members of the organization to resign, citing allegations that Pierce had been involved in child abuse.[5] Pierce has not been criminally charged and has repeatedly denied the allegations which stem from a 1999 lawsuit.[6][7][8]
Pierce is a founder, board member, or advisor for several Bitcoin companies, including GoCoin, Tether, ZenBox, Blade Financial, Expresscoin, Noble Markets, BitGo, AirSwap, and ChangeTip.[9]
Acting career[edit]
Pierce was born in Minnesota, and appeared in commercials as a toddler.[10] His first major role was playing a young Gordon Bombay in The Mighty Ducks (1992). Pierce reprised the role in D2: The Mighty Ducks. He starred as Luke Davenport in First Kid (1996). Pierce had small roles in Little Big League (1994), Ripper Man (1995), Problem Child 3 (1995), Three Wishes (1995), and Earth Minus Zero (1996).
Digital Entertainment Network[edit]
In 1999, Pierce was an executive vice-president of the Digital Entertainment Network, a company that created four-to-six minute streaming-video series, having raised $88m dollars from blue chip investors. As an 18-year-old, Pierce was making $250,000 a year and held 1% of the company's shares, a board member describing him as "the guy who could tell us what Gen-Yers were likely to think".[11]
IMI Exchange[edit]
Pierce founded IMI Exchange (originally Internet Gaming Entertainment) in 2001 and resigned from his CEO position on June 26, 2007, but remained an adviser and vice-chairman of the board of the company.[12] Under Pierce's leadership, IMI Exchange nurtured DAX, the largest virtual goods exchanges in South Korea and the US/Europe market with sites, such as ItemMania and Player Auctions, respectively. IMI Exchange raised over $100 million from investors such as Goldman Sachs and Oak Investment Partners.
Pierce worked at ZAM, a network of websites oriented around massively multi-player online role-playing games (MMORPG), such as World of Warcraft, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Rift, EverQuest, etc.[13] The ZAM.com network included gaming websites such as ZAM.com, Wowhead, Thottbot, Torhead, and D3DB.
Internet Gaming Entertainment[edit]
In 2001, Pierce founded Internet Gaming Entertainment (IGE), a company which pioneered the MMORPG currency-selling services industry that link virtual economies with the real one. In 2004, CNN Money reported that IGE brought in more than $1 million USD each month.[full citation needed] Between 2004 and 2005, IGE spent more than $25 million buying out seven smaller competitors, including four auction platforms and a number of fan and content sites.[14] In 2005, Pierce estimated that IGE accounted for about 50% of this online market in the U.S., which has about $500 million in annual volume.[14][15]
In 2000, three young actors filed a civil lawsuit claiming Pierce sexually abused them, also naming fellow Digital Entertainment Network executives Chad Shackley and Marc Collins-Rector.[16] He was an Executive VP at Digital Entertainment Network when he was arrested with other company executives by Interpol in Spain in May 2002.[16][17]
Pierce founded Internet Gaming Entertainment in 2001 and ZAM in 2003.[18] Pierce has been involved in the establishment of digital currencies and virtual goods.[19] Many of Pierce's companies have operated in this virtual space.
Pierce is active in the Bitcoin/Blockchain ecosystem, with numerous speaking engagements, conference activities, and community involvement. In May 2014, Pierce was elected Director of the Bitcoin Foundation.[20] Pierce is co-Founder and Advisor at Blockchain Capital,[9] a venture capital firm that is amongst the most active venture capital firms in fintech.[21]
Pierce supports non-profit and advocacy efforts, and is a member of the Clinton Global Initiative.[22] He has been a guest lecturer at the Milken Global Conference,[23] Singularity University,[24] Stanford, USC, Caltech,[25] and UCLA.
Titan Gaming/Playsino[edit]
In 2010, Titan Gaming recruited Pierce to sit on its board along with EA Executive Keith McCurdy.[26] Pierce joined other Southern California angel investors, including MP3.com's Michael Robertson, SOA Software's Eric Pulier and William Quigley and Jim Armstrong of Clearstone Ventures.[27] Also that year, Titan Gaming purchased the rising online gaming network Xfire from Viacom.[28] In October 2011, after Xfire received over $4 million in fresh funding from Intel Capital, Titan Gaming and Xfire cut ties and went their own ways. Titan Gaming and Xfire now operate independently.[29] In late April 2012, Titan Gaming announced that it would be rebranded as Playsino to embark in a complete makeover, with Pierce as the new CEO and $1.5 million of new funding.[30]

text: "The use of the word "illegal" to describe non-citizens who are present in the United States without authorization is finally beginning to die a much-deserved death, at least in the mainstream press. ... Despite this trend, the term "alien" remains not only in popular use, but also in the federal statute, the Immigration and Nationality Act, that regulates immigration to the United States. ... All of this still begs the question: Why "alien"? How did the specific term "alien" — which means not just non-citizen or non-national but, in a certain sense, non-person — become an accepted legal definition, and colloquial description, of the immigrant under U.S. law? Would using a different word change the public's attitude toward immigrants? And what does outer space have to do with it?" - Careen Shannon, May 27, 2013.

Alexander Gustavo and Asher Devin
- Published: August 11, 2016

- Time: 03:46
Description: Asher Devin stops by Alexander Gustavos after hearing that he can get a Full Package massage. Since he was already attracted to Alexander why not let him give him a little rubdown. Asher is apparently really excited as he strips off his clothes before getting on the massage table. His manhood is basically standing at attention as he gets undressed and lies down on the table. Alexander enters the room again, squirts some massage oil in his hands and slowly starts working it into Ashers back; but, it does not take long for the sheet to slip down revealing Ashers asshole which Alexander immediately begins focusing on. He likes Ashers ass so much he crawls up on the massage table and begins working that ass with his own tongue. Alexander notices that Ashers cock seems to be getting into the act and he reaches down and begins stroking that thick piece of meat as the thumb on his other hand finds its wa y deep into Ashers waiting hole. As Alexander is sucking Ashers cock and ass he reaches back, pulls off his own shorts and begins working his own hole with his fingers. Asher rolls over showing Alexander his long thick cock which Alexander sucks up right down to the balls. After some intense cock work, Asher rolls over on his knees and Alexander pulls out a double headed black dildo which, after enough spit to lube things up, slides it in and starts working Asher from the inside out. As Alexander fucks Ashers ass with the black dildo he reaches under and jerks his cock at the same time and you can tell by the look on Ashers face that he is really getting into it; but, wants the real thing. So, Alexander climbs up on the massage table, shoves his cock deep inside Asher and once settled in begins fucking Asher harder and hard causing the massage table to rock back and forth. Rolling Asher on his back, Alexander holds back his legs and plunges his thick cock back into Asher s waiting hole and starts fucking all over again. Asher is obviously at the complete edge, he grabs his cock and as Alexander continues to bang his ass he blows a thick, juicy load of cum all over his stomach and chest. Alexander pulls out, jumps up and squirts his jizz all over Ashers stomach coating Asher completely. Finished and exhausted, Alexander bends down to kiss Asher and at the same time grabs some of the cum and wipes it on Ashers tongue.

Story by Lindsey Coleman, Staff writer
Gov. Matt Bevin signed two bills affecting women's health on Jan. 9: one requiring an ultrasound to be performed before having an abortion and one banning abortions at or after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
According to the Kentucky Legislature website, House Bill 2 created an Ultrasound Informed Consent Act. Under the act, physicians are required to perform an ultrasound on a pregnant patient and explain the results of the ultrasound screening. If audible, the physician is required to let the patient hear the fetus heartbeat.
If the patient chooses, she can refuse to see the ultrasound or to hear the heartbeat.
The other bill, Senate Bill 5, prohibits abortion at or after 20 weeks of pregnancy and requires a determination of the fetus' age before performing an abortion.
Abigail French, coordinator of the Women's Center and Educational Programming, said the impact of these laws will be limited because of the amount of hours women are already driving to receive abortion services. She said many women she sees choose clinics in Tennessee, not Kentucky.
As far as services offered at the Women's Center, she said the new laws will not impact their plans.
"Our role is to help students find appropriate resources and services, so this changes some of the information that we share with a student but does not change anything in terms of procedure for us," French said.
She said often the Women's Center is involved in referring students to doctors in the area and helping them find birth control resources.
"In the Women's Center, we meet with students individually to discuss their needs and provide information on what their options are, where they can access services and what assistance services are available," French said. "Every student has different circumstances and different questions, so we work case-by-case to help students get the information they need."
For Life House Care Center, a pregnancy center in Murray, the announcement of the new laws was more impactful. Hailey Roach, client services director, said it's going to be an exciting year for their center because the laws will positively affect lives of unborn children.
In 2016, Life House began planning to add an ultrasound branch to their center. She said they will be offering free ultrasound services for their clients starting soon this year, with the hopes of saving more unborn babies from harm and advocating for their right to life.
"The law requiring women to have an ultrasound before an abortion is performed is a step in the right direction," Roach said. "Too often these babies are dehumanized, and an ultrasound will empower these moms to see that these are real lives. They have the power to provide a future for these babies, whether that be through parenting or adoption."
However, Melanie Davis, junior from Mt. Vernon, Indiana, said House Bill 2 is degrading and unnecessary, both medically and emotionally. Davis said restricting access to abortions will only worsen the issue.
"If it continues to be difficult to receive medical attention in this way, that doesn't mean abortions will stop," Davis said. "It only means that they'll continue to happen unsafely, thus harming even more individuals — souls, if you will, both unborn and born — in the process."
Davis said she is less convinced of the positive effects of House Bill 2 and Senate Bill 5. Instead, she believes abortions are a personal decision — one she said the government shouldn't control.
"I do really wish they would stop beating around the bush and just admit to what they're doing: controlling women through their medical health," Davis said. "Bans on abortion, unaffordable birth control, defunding of women's health centers … It's a pretty common theme."

Jarra Kaye Pipkin
7 lbs 12 oz
Born in Helena, Arkansas
I was the first white baby born at that hospital.
My grandma (looking in at all the babies in the nursery) asked "Which one is ours?"
My name was created by mashing my grandmother's names together. Gerri + Sarah = Jarra + Kaye (My other grandma's name)
My favorite thing as a child was Bert and Ernie
Every summer, my entire family (both sides because my grandparents were friends) would go camping together. It was really neat having all of my grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins together every year. It was like a family reunion, but without the awkward "I haven't seen you since you were THIS big" comments :)
I spent most of gradeschool at Latta Elementary in Ada Oklahoma. My mother had taught me to read before I started school, so Kindergarten through 5th grade were easier for me. I was in the Gifted and Talented program, and I began singing the national anthem at sporting events when I was in the 1st grade. We moved to Waco the summer before 5th grade. I spent 5th grade at Connally Intermediate School. My best friends that year were: Rachel Mann and Desiree Belville.
My first crush was also my first boyfirend, but it didn't happen in that order. When I was in 1st grade, I met a little boy at daycare that I thought was cute and he would hold my hand and play "house" with me. He moved away at the end of 1st grade, and I was heartbroken. When I was in the third grade, he moved back to my school. I remembered him, but he did not remember me. I never had the nerve to tell him how he used to hold my hand, and that I had never stopped liking him.
Chapter 10: "Besides My Parents, There Was ________"
Who was the one most influential person, other than your parents, in your life.
I know this is difficult to do, but don't waffle here and try to select more than one. Do some soul searching and choose the ONE person who has been MOST influential. Tell why you chose that person.
I had a teacher in the 4th grade named Mrs. Johnson. She had previously taught in Alaska where they had done the Shirley English Method. This is a method of teaching grammar that is typically taught to home-schooled kids. It involved jingles and chants. For the first time, language made sense to me. She also had us write a daily journal. She was so impressed with my stories that I was asked to read one aloud to the entire student body. I still have that journal somewhere :)
Chapter 11: "Freshman Year"
How was your freshman year? What were some of your anxieties? How was the transition from middle school to high school? What were some of the horror stories you had heard about high school? Were any of them true?
How did you manage to "fit in" to high school life? Did you get involved in any extra curricular activities? Who were your friends? Your favorite teachers? What were some memorable moments during this year?
Add anything else about your freshman year that you would like to add.
Extra Credit:
•Have at least one of your freshman teachers to write a quote about you.
My Freshman Year
This was a neat year, because so many people came back from the summer looking completely different. The boys were taller and many people were thinner. I had opted to get contact lenses, so I looked different too. I was a member of the band. I played Percussion. I wrote for the newspaper, and I loved Mrs. Conner's class. I reconnected with a friend that I had previously had issues with, and I was asked to the senior prom. My dad wouldn't let me go though, because I wasn't allowed to date until I was 16.
Chapter 12: "Sophomore Year"
Do the same thing you did with the freshman year.
You might want to include things like learning to drive, beginning to date, getting that first job, etc.
Extra Credit:
Have at least one of your sophomore teachers to write a quote about you.
Sophomore Year
This was my first year as the Drum Major of the High School band. This was a tough year, because many of the upper classmen did not think that I deserved the position. I worked hard to gain their respect and eventually they came around. I participated in UIL debate. I placed 3rd in district in persuasive extemp. This was the year that my group of friends began to solidify. This group included: my future college roommate, Julia Ervin; Coach Baucom's daughter, Allison; my best friend in the whole world, Lance Patterson; my future brother-in-law, Kurtis Gerath; and various others that have since fallen out of touch.
Chapter 13: "Junior Year"
Do the same thing you did with the freshman and sophomore year.
You may want to add things such as Prom, research papers, SAT tests, the TAKS test etc.
Extra Credit:
Have at least one of your junior teachers to write a write a quote about you
Junior Year
My junior year was probably the best year I had in High School. This was the year that my friend, Allison, talked me into auditioning for the fall musical. I had sung on stage in front of people many times before, however, I had never once attempted to "act". I landed a role in the musical, and then again in the one-act play that year. Mrs. Conner is extremely fun, and I have enjoyed a friendship with her since then. I went to the Prom this year with a huge group of my friends. We were such nerds. We had all taken a swing dance workshop for theatre that year, and so we were the first people at Prom and the last to leave. We danced until my feet hurt (and I opted to wear comfortable shoes). I ended my Junior year looking into scholarships and I retook my SAT that summer to ended up with a score of 1220 out of 1600.
Chapter 14: "Senior Year"
Write a reflection of your senior year. Include things like senior pictures, choosing graduation invitations, getting measured for cap and gowns, etc. How did it feel to go through all those "lasts"? What are your feelings now as you get ready to embark on a new chapter of your life?
Extra Credit:
Have as many people as you would like to write a brief quote for you to put in your prezi. Your family and friends might like to reflect on your entire 18 years of life or 13 years of school. You may want to include senior teachers.
Senior Year
My senior year was not as "fun" as people make it out to be. It turns out that senior years in general are not "blow off" years unless you are a bum. I spent the whole year filling out college applications and writing essays for scholarships. I was accepted to A&M during early admissions in September, so I knew where I was headed early on. This made the rest of the year difficult because while everyone else kept crying "This is our last whatever", I was saying "boo hoo...let's get a move on!!" I was involved in everything by this point. I was a state qualifier in extemp, I was still the Drum Major of the band and we recieved a 1st division at marching contest. I continued to perform on stage in the musical and one-act play, and I was in tons of organizations. Overall, my senior year was probably the hardest, because I was so busy getting ready for the first year of college while participating in everything that I could in high school.
Chapter 15: "The World When I Graduated"
Include things like:
Who was the President?
what was happening in the world of entertainment like movies, songs, t.v., Grammy/ Oscar awards, etc.?
What was happening in the world of sports like who won the Super Bowl, World Series, etc.?
What was the price of any items during this time?
This list must include at least 10 items although you may list as many as you like.
When I graduated...
George Bush was President
Best Picture: Chicago
Best Album: A Rush of Blood to the Head, Coldplay
Super bowl XXXVI: New England Patriots vs. St. Louis Rams
Score: 20-17
Most popular toys: Bratz dolls
Most popular tv show: 24
Gas cost $1.38 a gallon
Chapter 16: "Friends"
I've left this one for last, in hopes that it will be your favorite and easiest.
Do what you want to with it but the topic is "Friends."
Extra Credit:
Have as many of your friends as you would like to write a brief reflection about you and/or your friendship.
My Friends
Chapter 17: Epilogue
Tell me about your future plans.
What your plans are for college. What will you major in, where will you go, etc?
Are you planning on something other than college?
"If I Could Live My Life Over Again" or "Why I Would Not Change Anything About My Life"
My future plans included college, a husband, a home, and a family. I have all of the above and I am truly blessed.
From Mrs. Exum
I have one last piece of advice for you. There will be many moments in your life: other graduations, weddings, babies, etc. However, high school graduation is one of the most monumental events in your life. I know it is hard not to look at this as a grade, especially since you need my class to graduate. However, this is my graduation gift to you. I am forcing you to create something that you will look back on for the rest of your life.
This summarizes who you are and where you have been. Add as much extra to this as you want. I have only provided certain requirements as a starting point from which you are to jump. Don't just add as much as you can for my benefit because you want a good grade. Add as much as you will because this is a summary of your first eighteen years of life that I hope you and your family will cherish forever. Make this project entirely you.

Connally Jr. High
This was back when east campus was the Junior High. We used to make fun of the 8th grade hall way because it looked like a dog had run down the middle piddling everywhere. All of the girls were in love with "Coach Holt" (you guys know him as Tyler and Alyssa's dad). And, we all thought that Ms. Campbell was weird. We were on a block schedule which I LOVED. It meant that you only had athletics every other day. I played Volleyball, and Basketball until I broke my ankle, and that was the end of sports for me. I took Spanish in the 8th grade. You had to walk over to the highschool for this class, so I had class with seniors!!! I was SOOOO cool :) I participated in every school talent show and won the three years I was in Junior High.
"Jarra was always wanting to do things by herself. In fact, her favorite words were "I do it". I do remember her asking tons of questions. So much so that I just began to make things up. I once told her that an "L" would appear on her forehead if she lied to me, so every time she lied after that, she would cover up her forehead. It was a long time before she figured that one out."
The most embarrassing moment from my childhood was actually caught on tape. My parents have a video of me in a VERY see through pink and white striped swimsuit (I am 3). The video shows me stepping into a kiddie pool, but the water only goes to about my knees. A few minutes pass, and then you hear my dad ask me: "Jarra, did you pee-pee in the pool?" And like an idiot, not to mention it is SO obvious, I answer, "yes, daddy!"
My most embarrassing moment in Middle school is actually one that I am proud of today. There was this girl named Iris Johnson who played on my volleyball team. For some reason that I was never told, she decided that she wanted to fight me. I spent over a week avoiding her at all costs. It seemed the more I avoided, the more she wanted to fight. Finally, the day came. She had told EVERYONE that she would fight me in the locker room that day. When we finally came face to face, I told her I had just one question. I asked, "Why do you hate me, because I like you." I guess she didn't really have a reason, because she just walked away.
My first real boyfriend and I "went out" for two weeks in the 8th grade. I think we held the record that year for the longest relationship. I just remember going out (with my parents) to see Titanic...the MOST epic movie to date. The part towards the end of the movie, when Rose tells Jack "I'll never let you go", well ,the entire audience is sniffling and wailing. My boyfriend just snorted and whispered "Look, Jack Frost". I laughed so hard that sprite came out my nose. Needless to say, many people turned and gave us the evil eye.

Salem, Mass. VFW hit for illegal gambling
By TOM DALTON | The Salem News, Mass. | Published: February 11, 2014
SALEM, Mass. — It was the large volume of car and foot traffic last fall at the Witch City VFW Post that first caught neighbors' attention. It was particularly heavy on football weekends.
The traffic got so brisk, in fact, that calls were made to the state Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission which, in turn, contacted Salem police to notify them that there might be illegal gambling taking place at the veterans club on Derby Street.
On Sunday, Dec. 22 — right before kickoff for National Football League games — a senior inspector from the ABCC entered the club undercover. It was quite a sight: tables with charts and stacks of football cards, and one man putting money into envelopes and then stuffing them into a backpack.
The inspector, Caroline Guarino-Wilichoski, said she watched as people entered the club with football cards and headed right for a man sitting at a table.
After watching the activity for a few minutes, the inspector went back outside and sent police into the club. They confiscated football betting cards and several thousand dollars in cash, among other items.
Last night, after a brief hearing at which the club offered no defense, the Licensing Board handed out a three-day suspension of the club's liquor license for allowing an illegal activity on a licensed premise. Two days will be served this month, and one day will be held in abeyance and enforced only if a problem arises in the future.
"It's very black and white," post Cmdr. Kim Emerling said. "We were definitely in the wrong and want to get this thing resolved as quickly as possible." Emerling is also director of veterans services in Salem.
Police said there was no indication that club officers were involved.
The illegal gambling operation was run by an associate member of the club who is not a veteran, police said. Police said they did not have enough evidence to bring criminal charges.
Licensing board members said they appreciate the good work of the VFW post and know how hard it is for small veterans organizations to survive. But they said they had to act due to the seriousness and extent of the illegal gambling.
What went on at the club was "way out of control," said commissioner Rick Lee, a veteran. "I'm just disappointed in the decision-making process down there ...
"It just troubles me as a veteran," Lee said, looking across the table at three club officials. "I know it troubles you guys."
Licensing Board Chairman Robert St. Pierre, who voted for the suspension, said he contacted Mayor Kim Driscoll before the meeting to notify her that he is a member of the Witch City post and was filing a disclosure form because of the appearance of a conflict of interest. St. Pierre said he was confident he could rule on the case without prejudice.
The case was investigated by Detective James Page, who said he was first contacted by the ABCC in September and a second time in December. On the second call, the ABCC investigator told Page that a caller said Salem police were not going to investigate because they were going to "protect the manager of the VFW."
"That is absolutely not true," Page said emphatically last night.
While admitting he is a personal friend of the post commander, Page said Salem police investigate all cases with the same fairness and impartiality.
Page said the club was "100 percent cooperative."
White citing the important role clubs like the VFW play, especially for servicemen and women returning today from the Middle East, Page said it is important to "send a message" to all social and veterans clubs in the city that illegal gambling will not be allowed.
"We don't make the laws," Page said. "We just have to enforce them."

Huge bass taken on mackerel livebait
This superb 12lb 12oz bass was the highlight of a trip out of Portsmouth for Paul Thompson...and what a fish!
The Hampshire angler was fishing aboard the charter boat Buccaneer, skippered by Mick Gill, when the new personal best took a live mackerel hookbait.
"We were fishing to the south of the Isle of Wight and released the fish so there's a chance someone can catch it perhaps when its even bigger," said a delighted Paul.

Erik Huggers, the former head of the BBC's Future Media & Technology division, believes his new company will be one of the winners of a rebundling services.
In an IBC Keynote Huggers said the current process of unbundling is due a reversal. Under his analysis there are around 70 different SVOD providers in the marketplace. "The most logical thing to happen next is that someone's going to bundle it all back together again. The question is who will be the winner in that rebundling process."
On subscription, Huggers had hope for Amazon, while on ad-supported it was easier, YouTube.
But of course, it was Vevo, where Huggers is now President and CEO, for which he had the highest hopes.
He has good cause. Vevo, founded by Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group, is evolving from just a personal video jukebox to include concerts and for the first time its own VJs. It is also hiring music specialists to curate the playlists.
Vevo worked with ratings specialists Nielsen to get an online metric comparable with broadcast TV.
The audience is split 54% male and 46% female; 13 to 24-year-olds represent a third of the viewers. 25 to 34s another 35%. As Huggers points out these are exactly the people who are stopping watching linear TV. On 18-49 year old demographic, Vevo reaches more than anyone else, so ahead of the major broadcast networks. "Those datapoints have empowered our sales staff to go to market with that data."
In a surprising agreement, Vevo worked with MTV, supporting the annual Video Music Awards.
The reach of the VMAs went down 34 % year on year, but with the upside for Vevo at least that on some featured artists there was a 14% lift in consumption.

Question about Samsung CLX-2160N All-In-One Printer
Posted by pardoc on
Same problem, I have the Samsung CLX-3160FN and when I print the left side looks faded and the right side looks perfect. I replaced the toner which was more than half full and that did no good. Now what? Please help :(
Hi im josh try this:
Understanding Potential Problems
Printers are mechanical devices with lots of moving parts. And any time you have moving parts, you have something that can break or wear out over time.
So when you click the old print button and nothing happens, what are the likely causes?
First, you might have the wrong printer driver installed in Windows. You might have either simply selected the wrong driver for your printer, or Windows might have mistaken your printer for another model, or the driver selected might be out of date. While we're in this area, it's also possible that various aspects of your printer setup might be incorrect, which can cause some highly unusual problems. You should also check your font setup because fonts themselves can cause perplexing problems if they're not installed correctly.
In addition, any new input or output device you've installed since you installed your main printer could have changed your printer's settings. (It's kind of like the last device installed gets dibs on key system settings.) If you've recently added a scanner or a digital camera or fax software or anything like that and then experienced printer problems, try uninstalling your printer (and all printer drivers) and then reinstalling your printer so that your printer is now the last device installed—and thus controls key system settings.
It's also possible that if you're printing large or graphically complex documents, you might not have enough disk space or memory to print. Make sure that you have plenty of both, because Windows needs all the space it can get to complete the printing operation.
Finally, you could have real printer hardware problems. These problems range from the mundane (you're out of paper, you forgot to turn on the printer, a cable came loose) to the fairly serious (your printer is broken!). Check all your cables and connections and make sure that your printer is actually turned on.
The bottom line is there are a lot of things you need to check if you have printer problems, both hardware- and software-related. So if you have printing problems, hunker down and plow through the problems/solutions section, coming up next.
One of the best ways to track down a printing-related problem is to use the Windows Print Troubleshooter, found in the Help utility.
Problem: Your Printer Prints, but Output Is Smudged or Garbled If your printout is not as you expected, there might be several causes. The most likely cause, believe it or not, is our old friend the poorly connected cable. If all the instructions don't make it from the computer to the printer, your printout will be incomplete, if not totally out of whack. Check all cable connections to ensure a good throughput of data. If that doesn't fix the problem, just change the printer cable. An old or damaged cable could be causing your problems.
Printing the printer's self-test page is also a good way to determine whether the problem is in the printer or in the computer—or somewhere in-between.
Another cause of print garbage might be the printer itself. If you have a low or old toner cartridge in a laser printer or a near-empty ink cartridge in an inkjet printer, your printout will be lighter than normal, perhaps even unreadable. If necessary, change the cartridge and run the print job again.
If you're using a laser printer, you might get black streaks on your output. This problem is most often caused by an old toner cartridge, or by a dirty roller or printer cleaning bar. If you replace the toner cartridge and clean the suspect parts (using a cotton swab) and you still experience black streaks, your printer might need service.
If you're using an inkjet printer, it's possible that your print jets are clogged. You'll need to unclog the print jet by inserting a small pin into the jet.
It's also possible that a paper misfeed in your printer caused the printout to become smudged or out of line; if this is the case, straighten the paper feed and start the print job again.
An incorrect printer setup in Windows can also cause unusual printouts. Make sure that Windows is configured for the exact type of printer you're using. Also make sure that you have the correct landscape (horizontal) or portrait (vertical) printing option selected.
If none of this works, you probably have a problem somewhere in your printer. Although a bad printer port on your PC could be the culprit, more than likely some internal problem with your printer is causing the poor printout. (You can confirm this by printing a self-test page; if it looks bad, the problem is in your printer.) Consult your friendly repair center.
Problem: Your Printed Page Looks Half-Finished If you're trying to print a document with a lot of graphics (especially on lower-priced laser printers), you might find that your printer doesn't have enough memory to print the entire document. What you'll get is about half the document—and not always a contiguous half! You can do one of several things to rectify the problem:
